How Do Trans Women Feel About Caitlyn Jenner?
Answer by Jae Alexis Lee, MTF lesbian feminist:
Sigh. That really sums how I feel.
Last year I came out and went full-time. It was the year she did the same. While Caitlyn was giving her coming-out interview with Diane Sawyer, I had just spent that very same month coming out to friends, family, and my employer's HR and management types. The same day that Caitlyn's Vanity Fair cover dropped, I called a meeting with my employees to let them know I was about to go full-time.
Who Had the Strongest Military During the Cold War?
Answer by Igor Markov, EECS professor at Michigan:
It fluctuated throughout, as technology changed many times over, and the economic fortunes of the USSR became very sensitive to oil prices.
As of 1945 (before the Cold War), the USSR had the strongest conventional land-based military. After the U.S. withdrew most of its troops, it essentially dominated in Europe (the U.S. returned some of the troops, but the USSR still held a vast numerical advantage, especially in tanks).
What Would Thinking Be Like Without Words or Pictures?
Answer by Yohan John, Ph.D. in cognitive and neural systems from Boston University:
What a great question! I don't think neuroscience has much to comment on the matter yet. All we can really do is introspect and speculate about the answer.
I used to be a strong "thought equals language" sort of person, but nowadays I'm not so sure. I widened my definition of thought to include imagistic thinking, such as imagining cogs and gears moving together. I could imagine, say, an engineer thinking directly in terms of mechanical "scenes" without any intervening words. But it's hard for me to imagine what thinking would be like without words or images. Maybe that's just a limitation of my own thinking.
How Old Is the U.K.'s Current Postal System?
Answer by Stephen Tempest:
It dates back to the 1850s but adopted its current form in the late 1960s.
In Britain, Sir Rowland Hill set up the first national, uniform postal service using prepaid stamps in 1839. It was a stunning success, with the number of letters being sent nationwide more than doubling in the first three months after the introduction of the system.
How Can I Tell if an Escort Likes Me Romantically?
Answer by Ian Morgan, worked as an escort:
There were more than a few of my clients that I liked romantically—women who I would have liked dating on my own time. I still charged them for the time we spent together. I never saw any outside of work. It never kept me from giving my all to the next client.
Is Oak the Only Acceptable Wood for Aging Whiskey?
Answer by Laurence Shanet:
Oak (especially American white oak) is far and away the most common type of wood used for making whiskey. However, it is not the only type used. Occasionally, other woods such as maple, hickory, and a host of others are used for aging whiskey.
How Do I Motivate Myself to Finish Projects?

How Do You Become a Minimalist?
Answer by Jonathan Brodsky:
I hate this question. And I hate it because people hear about minimalism and they think it's about cutting stuff out of your life (literally—they think it's about throwing stuff out). It's not about that. When you're talking about a life philosophy, it's about how you assign value to the things and people in your life. It's about how you figure out what's essential to you.
What Career Wisdom Do People Learn Too Late?
Answer by Matt Cohler, general partner at Benchmark, pre–Series A team at LinkedIn and Facebook:
Figure out what your comparative advantage is and play to your strengths. In a hypercompetitive world, it's not enough to be really good at something; you also need to be better at it than all of the other good people who are trying to do it too, who are vying for the same opportunity.
If Britain Had Gone to War With the U.S. in 1910, Who Would Have Won?
Answer by Stephen Tempest, qualified amateur historian:
The Kaiser would laugh himself silly at the sight of his two great Anglo-Saxon rivals destroying each other in a fruitless war that neither of them could win decisively.

Good pants at a good price....
By: sblanch
I bought 5 pairs of these pants for work and they have served me well. They are comfortable and have held up well to daily wear and frequent washing. The side leg pocket is handy for pens and the snap divides the pocket for other items. My only complaint would be that they seem to run a bit long.

I did see on here that mre.Box got busted for having her Daycare at her house.the Box's seem like they are always having trouble I wonder why.
#11 Apr 4, 2010
Debra is a very sweet lady, and she's always been good to me and mine. You people are being hateful and ugly, and you need to stop. She's not doing anything wrong, she buys people's items and items from storage defaults and sells them, and she always helps people out who need it. Stop being ugly!
#12 Apr 5, 2010
To whatever you have no clue I worked for her yrs ago just work for her and you will see.she is a complusive liar just work one day and you will see behind close doors how she works.The Boxs want everyone to think they are normal but not they are difuncitonal like all other familys these days.you don't act like you are dying what a sin just for people to feel sorry for you when there are people that are really dying what a shame.shame on them.They will screw anyone over in a heartbeat to get what they want.they are greedy people know who you are truly dealing with before you jump to save them.
#13 Apr 5, 2010
Yeah, and slandering people on a public message board is such a shining commendation of YOUR character?
Don't preach about good and bad when you're on here slandering someone. If you have an issue with the person, take it to them and work it out. Posting something like this makes you sound like the bad guy, and I'm sorry, but most people who do things like this do it as "retribution" because THEY have done something wrong and got caught. Guilty conscience?
I know a LOT of people have ripped Debra off, and she hasn't called the cops or bashed them on a message board. Are you one of those people, perhaps?
#14 Apr 5, 2010
No I have never ripped anyone off I owe no one anything especially Debra Box and she has a business with the public and when you don't do right people have a right to speak there mind we have a constition for this is is our right as americans.and you cannot work out anything with her.or the family and they do there share of gossip in the store.and she has other people do her dirty work for her.so she needs to look in the mirror if she can't handle it she needs to maybe think about not working with the public.and not place blame on her employees.and customers not good business.and grow up and take the blame herself and so worried about everyones business herself she just does it in the store not on here.no gulity conscience here just telling like it is.so our other on here she has been on here many times from others on other things that have gone on about her well why does she stay on here so much??????? her business dealings are always in question bad luck or she is quilty of something or poor poor her lets have a pitty party for her.When you lie this what happens .
#15 Apr 5, 2010
I have no idea what she's done to you, it just seems like bad practice to badmouth someone online. If she's done something illegal, call the police. Otherwise, keep away from the bad that will come back on you TENFOLD for being just as bad by slandering her.
#16 Apr 6, 2010
Both of you need to stop and get a life.!!!!!!!!!this doesn't help anyone invovled.
#17 Apr 6, 2010
I haven't done anything wrong, so what should I stop?
I was defending someone who has always done right by me and mine, who someone else was slandering. That's considered wrong?
#18 Apr 6, 2010
Give it a break you are so mad yourself.two wrongs don't make a right.
#19 Apr 6, 2010
I found if you ignore people like that they will stop.try that if you keep it up they just continue ,and it just keeps getting worse and then you Lower your self to there level.alot of people on here seem to hurt others.
#20 Apr 6, 2010
when it was the daycare same thing going on .I worked there and we just sat at table and gossip.I did to so I was wrong to but at least I on up to it.and its not slander if it is true.and she should be use to this she is always on here goes back to daycare times.Iam not the only one speaking out.and FREEDOM OF SPEAK LOOK UP YOUR CONSTUITON THATS WHAT THIS SITE IS FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T COME ON HERE.AND JUST WONDERING WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON HERE AND TELLING SOMEONE TO CALL THE POLICE FOR WHAT DECUSSIONS,PLEASE YOU TALK ABOUT ME AND LOOK AT YOU TELLING SOMEONE TO CALL POLICE .IS THAT WOULD YOU WOULD DO HOW WRONG IS THAT.

What are the odds?
You are the third or fourth person to mention it today. The odds have definitely increased. Probably .00002% vs. 0% a few months ago.
Odds are better that you now have some authorities watching you.

I have always wondered what an experienced Yautja would look like. We have been given glimpses such as Elders and the Wolf but never a movie where a PREDATOR in his prime is on the hunt and successful. The past 3 or 4 of my customs are inspierd by this idea. I started this one by dry brushing the figure then adding the extra armour to his legs and trophies to the armour throughout the figure. The sword on his back I made from the Falconers blade and some bones from animal skeleton toys I found in a junk shop. The trophies on the shoulders are from the Berserker skull with parts from the Wolf,Elder,City Hunter and Falconer. Hope you all enjoy this bad boy !!

I've been roaming around these forums asking questions about issues related to Python and UTF-8 encoding/decoding.
This time around I've stumbled upon something which initially seemed an easy problem.
In my previous question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7138797/problems-with-python-in-google-app-engine-utf-8-and-ascii) I asked how to ensure proper addition of UTF-8 strings to variables:
Messages.append(ChatMessage(chatter, msg))
The solution was something along those lines:
Messages.append(ChatMessage(chatter.encode( "utf-8" ), msg.encode( "utf-8" )))
Pretty simple.
However, now I am faced with the challenge to send the data to Google App Engine Datastore. The code from the book I was using (Code in the Cloud)looked as follows (I skipped the redundant parts):
#START: ChatMessage
class ChatMessage(db.Model):
user = db.StringProperty(required=True)
timestamp = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
message = db.TextProperty(required=True)
def __str__(self):
return "%s (%s): %s" % (self.user, self.timestamp, self.message)
#END: ChatMessage
# START: PostHandler
class ChatRoomPoster(webapp.RequestHandler):
def post(self):
chatter = self.request.get("name")
msgtext = self.request.get("message")
msg = ChatMessage(user=chatter, message=msgtext)
msg.put() #<callout id="co.put"/>
# END: PostHandler
I thought that swaping a part of the PostHandler with the following bit:
msg = ChatMessage(user=chatter.encode( "utf-8" ), message=msgtext.encode( "utf-8" ))
... would do the trick. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I still keep getting
File "/base/data/home/apps/s~markcc-chatroom-one-pl/1.353054484690143927/pchat.py", line 147, in post
msg = ChatMessage(user=chatter.encode( "utf-8" ), message=msgtext.encode( "utf-8" ))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Naturally, I declared (# -- coding: utf-8 --) statement and put:
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
in the file. It does nothing to alleviate the issue.
As you can see I am not very well-versed in Python, and encoding/decoding problems are, for me, a bit of novelty. I would appreciate your assistance. If anyonone could explain to me where I went wrong in this case and what practices to use to avoid similar quandaries in the future? Thank you in advance.

Greater rhea (Rhea americana)
|Also known as:
|common rhea
|Avestruz, Ñandú, Ñandú Común
|Rhea (1)
|Head-body length: 127 - 140 cm (2) (3)
|20 - 25 kg (2) (3)
Classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (1) and listed on Appendix II of CITES (4).
The largest bird on the American continent (5) (6), the greater rhea belongs to a group of flightless birds known as 'ratites', which lack the keel of the breastbone to which the flight muscles attach in flying birds (5) (7). However, despite a superficial resemblance - which led Charles Darwin to describe the species as a "South American ostrich" (8) - the rhea is not thought to be closely related to the other members of this group, the ostrich, emu, cassowaries and kiwis (9). The plumage of the greater rhea is generally greyish-brown, with darker patches on the neck and upper back, and whitish feathers on the thighs and abdomen (2) (3) (9) (10). During the breeding season, a prominent black ring develops at the base of the neck (2). The greater rhea's feathers, not needed for flight, are long and plume-like (10), and the grey legs are long and powerful, with strong toes, and are adapted for running and for ranging over large distances (6) (7). Rheas have a deep, resounding call, which resembles the roar of a mammal more than the call of a bird. Mainly produced by the male during courtship, the sound of this call gives the rhea its local name, "ñandú" (2).
The male greater rhea is slightly larger and greyer in colour than the female, with a more pronounced dark patch on the neck and upper back (11). Young birds are greyish, with dark stripes (2) (3) (6) (10). Five subspecies of greater rhea are recognised, based on variations in size and in the extent of black on the neck, although the exact characteristics and ranges of several of these subspecies are tentative (2) (3) (10). The greater rhea can be distinguished from the other rhea species, the lesser rhea (Rhea pennata), by its longer legs, lack of white spotting on the plumage, the more greyish than brownish colouration, and feathering on the legs which does not go below the tarsal joint (3) (11).
The greater rhea is distributed throughout Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina (3) (12). Rhea americana americana is found in northeast and southeast Brazil, Rhea americana intermedia in the south of Brazil and Uruguay, Rhea americana nobilis in eastern Paraguay, Rhea americana araneipes in western Paraguay, eastern Bolivia and southern Brazil, and Rhea americana albescens in Argentina as far south as the Río Negro (2) (5) (9).
The greater rhea typically inhabits tall grassland, open woodland and wooded savanna, such as the pampas, cerrado, and chaco woodland habitats of South America. The species can also be found in cultivated fields when the crop height is low (11), and occurs at elevations of up to 2,000 metres (2) (3) (12).
The greater rhea feeds mainly on plant matter, including leaves, roots, seeds and fruits. It also takes insects and small animals, such as lizards, frogs, small birds and even snakes, and sometimes catches flies that have gathered around carrion (2) (6) (13). Rheas also commonly swallow pebbles, which help to grind down food in the gizzard, and can often be seen feeding alongside herds of pampas deer, guanacos, or domestic livestock (2) (6). Rheas are good runners, capable of reaching speeds of over 60 kilometres an hour, and, perhaps surprisingly, are also good swimmers (2).
Outside of the breeding season, the greater rhea lives in mixed flocks of up to 30 or more individuals, though old males are often solitary (2) (6) (9). However, at the start of the breeding season, from August to January, breeding females separate into small groups. At the same time, the males become territorial, competing for territories with threats or fights, intertwining necks and biting or kicking at rival males (2) (6) (14). A successful male attempts to attract a group of females into the territory, performing an elaborate courtship display that involves calling, running around the females with feathers ruffled and wings spread, and then standing beside the females with the neck lowered, shaking the wings (2) (6). The nest is prepared by the male, and consists of a depression in the ground, around one metre wide and twelve centimetres deep, lined with dry vegetation and often hidden amongst bushes (2). The group of females all lay eggs in the same nest, so that a typical nest may contain between 20 to 30, or even up to 80, eggs, from up to twelve different females (2) (6) (15).
Unusually, it is only the male who incubates the eggs and rears the chicks, with the females leaving to mate with other males and lay eggs in other nests. The eggs, which are golden yellow but fade to a dull white over time, hatch after an incubation period of 35 to 40 days (2) (6) (9). The male is an attentive and protective parent (2) (9), and, soon after hatching, leads the young away from the nest, and cares for them for another four to six months. The young keep together in a group by means of plaintive contact whistles, and may shelter under the male's wings if threatened, or if too hot or too cold. The male may even 'adopt' chicks that have become separated from other groups (2) (6) (16). The young generally remain together in a group long after the period of parental care is over, until reaching sexual maturity at around two years in females, and three years in males (2) (6) (11).
The greater rhea has undergone a marked decline as a result of hunting for meat, eggs and skins, and for its feathers, which are used to make feather dusters. In recent years, these threats have been compounded by habitat loss as vast areas of grassland are converted for agriculture and cattle ranching (2) (12) (17). Farmers and ranchers often accuse rheas of eating crops and competing with cattle for food, and chase the birds off their land (2), although there is evidence that the greater rhea actually feeds on important weed and pest species (18). Physical barriers like roads can also prevent the birds dispersing, so increasing the risk of inbreeding. In addition, the greater rhea can suffer serious injuries if it becomes caught up in barbed wire fences (2) (5).
The greater rhea is listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), meaning that international trade in the species should be carefully controlled (4). However, levels of both international and domestic trade in the greater rhea may need further monitoring, and restrictions on hunting and trade need effective enforcement (12). As increasing grain production within the species' range appears inevitable, education and outreach programmes may be needed to help ensure the long-term survival of the greater rhea in agricultural areas (17). In recent decades, commercial farming of rheas for feathers, meat and skin has become increasingly popular, and studies into captive breeding of the species have led not only to improved production (for example, by using 'adoptive' males rather than artificial systems to rear chicks (19) (20)), but also the possibility of reintroduction of captive-bred rheas into the wild. Captive breeding has therefore been suggested as a possible conservation tool as wild populations continue to decline (5) (21).

Michael Kohn needs Tommy John surgery
By Mark Saxon
Michael Kohn
is scheduled to undergo ligament-replacement surgery on his right elbow Thursday and will miss the 2012 season, the Angels announced.
Kohn's star was on the rise at this time last year, but he struggled early and spent the majority of last season at Triple-A Salt Lake. He made five appearances this spring, but was placed on the 15-day disabled list when the Angels opened the season.
Tommy John
surgery, named after the former Dodgers' left-hander, typically requires a year-and-a-half of recovery time.
Kohn, 25, is 2-1 with a 4.01 ERA in 38 major-league games.
Dr. James Andrews

KPMG's China Practice in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) aims to support Chinese companies seeking to invest or operate in the region, as well as CEE-based companies with an interest in investing and doing business with China
Our Sports Advisory Practice in Budapest was established to address the specific needs of clients active in the industry. We have a sound understanding of the specific and relevant markets and a dedicated team of professionals serving our clients' needs.
This Guide to Taxes on Real Estate in CEE and CIS provides an overview of the tax aspects related to the real estate sector in the region.
Newsletter on current risk, actuarial, data and regulatory issues facing insurers in the Central and Eastern European region.
Since countries in the CEE region joined the European Union in 2004, 2007 and 2013, it has become apparent that effective utilisation of EU support can foster the success of their economic performance. Now the region finds itself at the end of the 2007-2013 programming period which allows for more strategic conclusions based on an analysis of the EU Structural and Cohesion Funds (SCF) absorption rates. Developing an appropriate, focused strategy for the allocation of EU SCF is only the first element, though a basic step in implementing EU cohesion policy. The successful implementation and absorption of EU SCF is contingent not only upon the effectiveness of the Member States' administrative systems, but also on the activity of the potential beneficiaries.
This report provides an overview of the progress of the National Strategic Reference Frameworks nearly at the end of the programming period 2007-2013. Analysis of these data will help with planning and utilisation within the next programming period 2014-2020. We trust that this report will assist stakeholders to develop a comprehensive picture of the implementation status in each of the CEE countries and within the region as a whole.

A heavy metal singer, that is stuck in the 80's. His physical appearance is that of a dwarf or midget. He is often noted, by Pantera ripoff screams, and over promotion of his pathetic band. His career usually is a lifelong service of the pizza industry. His promotions go as far as texting everyone to buy a copy of his sad ass album, at 8 a.m. He has also been caught having sex with the smallest prick know to man. He tends to think the south will rise again.

After being introduced as East Carolina University head women's basketball coach Tuesday, Wes Moore announced his intention to remain in the same position at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Thursday afternoon.
Moore was initially tabbed as the 10th head coach in the program's history and replaced Sharon Baldwin-Tener, who accepted the head coaching position at Georgia State earlier this month.
Moore has been the head coach at UTC for the past 12 seasons.
Statement from ECU Director of Athletics Terry Holland:
"I am disappointed that Coach Moore decided to return to Chattanooga. He put 12 years into making a championship program, and leaving that proved more difficult than he possibly could have imagined. I have already been in contact with Chancellor Ballard and members of the Board of Trustees regarding the resumption of the coaching search. I am confident that we will find the right coach for this program."

Product Overview
Naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton created a new literary form when he began writing stories about his adventures with wild animals in the 1890s. His first stories were compiled in the book, Wild Animals I Have Known, that became popular throughout the United States and Canada. The stories are spellbinding chronicles of wild animal courage, intelligence, and endurance as they valiantly attempt to escape the traps, poisons, guns, and lariats of their human pursuers. Seton was renowned for his scientific studies of American wildlife. His stories about wild animals, however, were a mix of fact and fiction that heightened the drama of each animals life or death struggle. During the 1890s Seton traveled to the American West and from his experiences wrote the thrilling tales contained in this collection. The exploits of Lobo (wolf), The Pacing Mustang, Tito (coyote), Monarch (grizzly), Coaly-Bay (horse), Johnny Bear, and Badlands Billy (wolf) are presented in their entirety along with many of Setons drawings.Stephen Zimmer was Director of the Seton Memorial Library at Philmont Scout Ranch at Cimarron, New Mexico for twenty years. For this collection he contributed a biographical introduction of Ernest Thompson Seton and the historical background for each story. *Author: Zimmer, Stephen/ Seton, Ernest Thompson/ Zimmer, Stephen *Binding Type: Paperback *Number of Pages: 308 *Publication Date: 2005/06/01 *Language: English *Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.02 x 0.69 inches

Many Hands Make Light Work,
This review is from: Rooms Filled With Light (Audio CD)
Simon Balthazar and his band of merry minstrels, notwithstanding lineup changes
since their 2009 debut 'Reservoir', have come up with a cracking second showing
with 'Rooms Filled With Light'. There is a sense of purpose and drama in these
twelve tracks which deserves to win them new fans if given the exposure it deserves.
Mr Balthazar knows how to spin a good tune and has the kind of voice (a very good
one) which quickly gets under your skin and stays there pulsing away well after
the last echoes of the recording fade away into the night and well on into the
following morning. The arrangements are clear and crisp and lucid and make good
use of strings and brass to augment the confident organic structure of the whole.
Take a composition like 'Tunguska' : old-fashioned in a wholly reassuring way, it
delivers a simple sixties-flavoured melody and nails it to the mast with conviction
and a total absence of irony. It's a wonderfully soppy and well-rounded invention.
So too opening gambit 'Replicate' which heightens our anticipation with its pulsing
violins and chirpy fairground organ decorations; when the chorus finally unfolds
we are swept away by the beguiling owlish vocal accents and Mr Balthazar's well-
focused central performance. The single 'Deconstruction' romps along like a happy
puppy chasing leaves in the wind and 'Tightrope' shows off the rhythm section
(terrific bass playing here!) and the band's capacity for ribald vocal harmonies
to fine effect. 'Bones' is about as good as a good song gets; a resounding anthem
which packs real emotional clout and the melancholy 'A Flood' which comes a close second
as top track. The tiny coda 'Everything Resolves' brings the project to a magical chiming close.
I loved every minute of it and was left wanting more. Fanfarlo are a very fine band indeed.
Highly Recommended.

However, I have a problem with pets, snakes, treants, etc. My mind ignores them, but hitting tab does not. Also more often than not they are directly in your face, making targeting anything at all besides them pretty difficult. Is there any way to make tab targeting ignore pets, snakes, treants, etc?

You were right. The manipulators did pull off a short attack just as you predicted. Admittedly they did it in a nefarious way. Someone really should investigate. Wall street remains a lawless landscape. Let us know your next prediction.
Yup - while captain will sat Gulfo has an MBA, I say so do many others who don't have a clue about operating a publicly owned company. The fact is we have a doctor running our company - and a naive doctor at that, or else a crooked doctor. Until management is changed, or a unfriendly buyout with some competition, we are at the mercy of manipulators.
The only thing that I will give Gulfo credit for is his dealing with the FDA.
I'll openly admit that his performance to this date has been less than desirable from a business execution standpoint.
I have noticed that the tape is painted after market closes. I have Scottrade and this stock always closes with a different results after 4 pm. I might just have to call the SEC to try and understand why, This CEO should take steps to protect his Company, he should as for an Investigation. Why? This stock is being held down by manipulative forces. Until CEO takes this issue up with SEC, they will forever manipulate. Time for us to make that call if you own this stock.

About the Discipline
The study of history can be enjoyable, interesting and relevant to your life. Or it can be boring, outdated and irrelevant – it depends how you teach it. At Century College, we take a different approach to studying history. Why? Because the knowledge gained from history can provide new insights and perspectives to help you understand yourself and the role you play in humanity. You'll learn to explain how men and women in the past have contributed to the human story. Through the appraisal and use of historical sources and methods, you will analyze both change and continuity in human history across different periods and cultures. And, you'll be introduced to a broad range of social, political and economic institutions. In short, when you learn more about the people who came before you, you will very likely learn more about yourself and the world too.

Demolition 3 stars
Banker Davis Mitchell is left emotionally numb by the death of his wife Julia in a car accident. Unable to grieve and unmoved by his colleagues' and loved ones' concern, Davis turns to customer services representative Karen for support. They eventually meet and Davis becomes entwined in Karen's life and that of her troubled teenage son Chris, who has become cold and distant to her lately. As time goes on, Davis reverts to more extreme tactics to feel again.

Grief, we're told, comes in many different forms. There's no wrong way to grieve, apparently. Except of course, there is. And nowhere is grief more structured than in Hollywood. There, grief is either a granite albatross weighing the sufferer down until eventually they crack and, more often than not, scream at a coldly beautiful landscape until finally, their artful tears fall, or, it is quite the opposite; it is a fully formed thing from the offset. This much-seen Hollywood version of grief is a blanket which the sufferer is wholly covered and fully in tune with, basking in their loss while a soundtrack of touching acoustic songs play out as the screen is flooded with a golden-tinged montage of 'better times'; long beach walks, ice creams licked off noses and soft punches on the arm, before realising with a shrug, that of course, "This..." - be it selling the house, finding a new partner, or donating their beloved's cardigan - "...is what he/she would have wanted". Demolition, the new comedy drama from Wild and Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallee, then offers neither trope for its anti hero, Davis Mitchell (Jake Gyllenhaal). It's not a version of grief any of the dearly departed would want for their loved ones. Widowed after a car accident killed his wife Julia (Heather Lind), the young banker is left with a numbness he can't shake. He's not just numb about his high-flying job at the bank, where his father-in-law Phil (Chris Cooper) also happens to be the boss, or his covetable home and possessions, he's also indifferent to Julia's death and unmoved by his colleagues and loved ones' needs for him to heal, or at least heal in a way they understand. The only person who penetrates his apathetic exterior is Karen (Naomi Watts). As the customer services representative for a vending machine company, Karen receives a letter of complaint from Davis about the machine in the hospital which gobbled his money, but didn't give him his goods on the night of his wife's death. But while he writes about the complaint, he also expands on his life and loss, until eventually his letters become increasingly confessional in tone to the point where Karen and Davis meet and strike a friendship. Soon, Davis becomes entwined in Karen's life and that of her troubled teenage son Chris (Judah Lewis) who has become cold and distant to her lately. As time goes on, Davis reverts to more extreme tactics - much to the shock of Phil - to feel again and, with the help of Karen and Chris, to rebuild his life and, in turn, unlock the struggles Chris is going through. While sentimentality could be rife, Demolition avoids it largely due to the welcome flashes of humour and thoughtful performances from Gyllenhaal and his young co-star Lewis, but it's just a shame that Watts is underwritten.

Laszlo Nemes directs and co-writes this harrowing Hungarian drama, which deservedly won this year's Academy Award as Best Foreign Language Film, and details an unbearable day and a half in the life of a tormented prisoner at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Saul Auslander (Geza Rohrig) is a Hungarian-Jewish prisoner in the camp, who has the horrific task of burning the bodies of the dead. One day, he is greeted by the corpse of a boy who bears an unnerving resemblance to his son. Convinced the body is his flesh and blood, Saul begs prison doctor Miklos (Sandor Zsoter) not to perform a post-mortem on the child so he can find a rabbi in the camp to give his son a proper Jewish burial. While Saul attempts to carry out this heartrending plan without attracting the attention of the SS-commandant (Christian Harting), fellow prisoner Abraham (Levente Molnar) attempts to light the spark of a revolt against their captors.
