Driver who was on drugs gets prison for fatal accident
FULLERTON – A Fullerton woman was sentenced to six years in prison for killing her boyfriend and her 2-year-old daughter in a high-speed crash after she fell asleep at the wheel while under the influence of methamphetamine.
Tomeka Charee Harris, 29, of Fullerton, pleaded guilty in October to two felony counts of vehicular manslaughter by unlawful act with gross negligence while intoxicated.
Deputy District Attorney Susan Price said Harris was speeding westbound on the 91 freeway in Fullerton at about 10 a.m. Jan. 12, 2008, with her boyfriend, Alfred Flores, 27, and her daughter, Zharia Keheian, who was one day from turning 2 years old.
Harris then lost control of her Mitsubishi sport utility vehicle while exiting the East Street off-ramp, driving into a fence and crashing into a steel utility pole.
Harris' daughter and boyfriend suffered serious head injuries in the crash and died.

Who Knew Dating Could Be So Painful
I have yet to find the right guy when I go out on dates. When I date someone, I get very nervous. I understand being nervous on dates, but I get nervous to the point where I do embarrassing things. Sometimes, I try to talk to my date and my voice won't project. Other times, I'll be so shy that I can't even look my date in the eye. I decided that my upcoming date was going to be different. I met a guy that I liked in the library, and we decided that we would go out on Saturday night.
I didn't want him to know where I lived yet, so I decided to meet him at the movies. We both went into the movies, and we went to see an action flick. I was comfortable with the movie up until the part where a couple got naked. I decided to look over at him, and I saw him raising his eyebrows at me as if to say he was turned on. I was a bit turned off by his reaction, but at the same time I laughed. I shouldn't have laughed because I ended up spilling the popcorn all over myself.
When I reached down to grab the popcorn bucket, he reached down towards the bucket as well, and he ended up spilling his drink on me. I was covered in popcorn and soda, and I was so embarrassed. I got up to go to the bathroom, only to slip in the puddle of soda on the floor. Several people in the theater saw me fall, and they got up to see what happened. I ended up running out of the theater in tears with people laughing and pointing at me. Needless to say, this was a painful and embarrassing date.

Sorry for not being clear at the first time. Here is my need.
I am trying to write a VBA script to convert simple word text formatting to HTML. Now I know that Word already can convert documents to HTML but it add's far to much junk code for the end result to be of use to me.
Basically all I need is very very simple text formatting conversion. I have several word documents I need to upload to my website the only text formatting that is in my documents are "Bold" "Underline" and "Italics".
I simply want a VBA script that will run through the document and convert all text (words or sentances) that have this formatting to HTML.
for example
The cat was sleepy .... changed to .... The cat was sleepy
The cat was sleepy .... changed to .... The cat was sleepy
I wish to save the end result as plain text file.
P.S I am a novoice to VBA programming .
I would want to do this in MS word 2007.

Final Goodbyes.It's all over. I knew this was going to happen, I knew that I wouldn't be able to go and see our memories anymore and I knew that I would never talk to you, but still...it..it hurts. And I miss you. I have someone new now, and I love them. But I miss you. And I want you to come back. Every little thing reminds me of you and it's hurting my soul but I know it was for your own good. And you deserve better than what I gave you, and you deserve to go out and live your own life and be successful. But I was hoping maybe you'd stay with me. It was selfish of me, I'm sure it was. But I loved you. I really loved you, so much, and you left me all alone. And it's not the same since you've been gone. I keep coming up with new ideas for us and it makes me cry sometimes because they're worthless. They're as worthless as I was. And I'm sorry. I will never know if you loved me the way I loved you, but I don't think you did. I think it was different for you. I'm not really even sure if we were friends,
I am fat. And that's okay. All right everyone. Let's make this clear. I am fat. I know I am. Don't try and tell me that I'm not, because it's been medically proven. I may not be morbidly obese, but I weigh more than I should.
And that's okay. I know I'm fat, I'm well aware. But I am also beautiful. I don't need to be skinny to look good. I get enough exercise to the point where I probably won't gain any weight, but I won't be losing any either. I am okay with me being fat. I love my body just the way it is, and I will not let you tell me that I need to lose weight, or that I'm not fat. Because I am, and it's gorgeous. I look in the mirror, and I see someone who is going to grow up and be a wonderful, beautiful person. A fat, wonderful, beautiful person. And I am glad.
To all girls out there who are distressed because they look fat, or are fat: You are beautiful. Just because you look a bit on the large side does not mean it's fat. It could be the way your body is shaped, it could be all muscle. It co

Wildlife photographer Olyvia Rayne has just learned of her Father's death and must return to Pier Part, Louisiana to take care of his affairs. She hasn't seen her father in over eleven years, having left the bayou with her Mother to live in Baton Rouge when she was fifteen. Now at twenty six, she hasn't seen her high school friend Gunner Robichaux since she left. And he's certainly changed. He's now a tall, hot, mouth watering morsel. And he's interested in her. Really interested to the point of obsession. But Oly is afraid to trust anyone. Especially a man she's so attracted to. But Gunner has loved her all his life and will do anything to make her his.
What really floors Oly more than anything else is finding out that her father, Bolin Rayne, has left her with a healthy bank account and a steady income. This from a father she thought never even loved her. Little did she know, he did.
Gunner is the Alpha of the Loup Garou pack of Bayou Lafourche. Oly has no idea of what he's offering her as his mate. The raw lust and passion Gunner is offering Olyvia terrifies her and she's afraid to give herself over to him. And then there's also the competition in the lovely wolf-bitch Kara. She will stop at nothing to become Gunner's mate, even murder. She tries on several occasions to do just that. She burns Oly's cabin down around her, kidnaps and beats her and nearly feeds her to the alligators. Olyvia only escapes because of the Watchers. A race of elf like creatures that can blend into the bark of the cypress trees. They are protectors of the bayou land along with the Loup Garou. Gunner rescues Oly with the Watchers help.
When Kara see's she can't succeed at destroying Olyvia, she goes after Oly's best friend Gretchan. She kidnaps her, takes her to an abandoned sugar mill, and beats her just like she did Olyvia. But when Gunner, Olyvia and Cullen find Gretchan, the strangest thing happens. Cullen recognizes Gretchan as his mate. The Loup Garou finally subdue Kara and she is held a prisoner until the Blood Moon ritual that will make Olyvia Gunner's mate. They will have open sex in front of all the pack and the Watchers. Olyvia will conceive and then afterward she'll go through the shift for the first time into the half wolf/half human existence that is Loup Garou.
Bolin Rayne, Oly's father, was buried by the cabin that Kara burned, in a wooden box on top of the ground. He had made a deal with the Watchers that traded Olyvia to the Alpha of the Loup Grou in exchange for an extended life as a Loup Garou. Also, with Gunner's help he invested in oil companies and that's where the money came from that he's left Olyvia. He had terminal cancer and knew he was going to die. But a series of three bites transformed him also at the Blood Moon. He resurrected and to Olyvia shock was at the Blood Moon Ceremony. As Kara screamed at Olyvia as she became Gunner's mate, Bolin turned on her a with one swipe of his claws, ripped Kara head from her shoulders.
In the end love wins the battle for supremacy. Olyvia has a second chance to reconnect with her father and spend an extended life with the love of her life, Gunner. As they run into the night after the ritual is complete, Olyvia knows in her heart that she made the right decision, and she and Gunner would love each other unconditionally.
Just when Emily Bougouis think she has her life and future figured out, all hell breaks loose. Betrayal by the only man she has ever loved is bitter on her tongue as she loses all she hold dear to her heart.Even though her world is crumbling down around her, she still performs her duty as the "Treater" or healer of the people on the bayou. The Houmas Indians come to Emily for help to save their ancient burial grounds. Strange mystical, and frightening forces surround the mounds. Emily has to find her courage, and also a way to stop the destruction coming from a construction company's demolition plans. By destroying the burial mounds, evil skinwalkers would be able to claim the souls of the dead buried there, denying them entrance to the afterlife. She needs help fighting them and she finds it in the strangest place. Emily is star struck when she meets Merrick Talbot, who just happens to be the head of the construction company bent on destroying the burial mounds. The handsome stranger has a shadowed past and Emily doesn't trust him. But soon the flames of passion begin to wash away her doubt. The heat between Emily and Merrick is unbelievable, and she can't help but lose all control around him. But can she trust him with her life? Can the love and passion she feels be enough to get her through the biggest heartache she has ever suffered? And will she be able to get revenge on those who stole part of her life away?
She must overcome her fears, and stop the evil destruction at the same time that she is falling in love with Merrick. Life can be a real bitch for a Psychic Healer!
Passion, Voodoo and Curses abound in this thrilling,
supernatural story of life in the swamps and bayous of South Louisiana.
The responsibility of being the newest "Treater" rest soley on Emily's
shoulders. She has never loved a man until she reunites with her childhood friend, Tanner Guidry. Little does she know that she is his salvation

NFL Team Report - Tennessee Titans - INSIDE SLANT
When the Titans brought in Gregg Williams to help with the defense and to restart his NFL career after a year on the suspended list, many wondered exactly what Williams' role with the club would be.
After all, Titans coach Mike Munchak had elected to retain Jerry Gray as defensive coordinator, despite the club allowing a franchise-record 471 points in 2012. Williams' aggressive style and nature is certainly needed to help return the Titans back to some level of respectability, and he says that is something he will make sure he brings to the table in his role as senior defensive assistant.
"Well, aggressive is how we're going to be and we'll never, ever, ever apologize for competing," Williams said. "We want to be as attacking as we can on defense, and we want to be able to set the tone on who we play against at all times. ... We'll play exactly how we have to play from a toughness standpoint and from an effort standpoint."
Williams, who received an indefinite suspension from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in 2012 for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, was reinstated after one year out of the game. Williams indicated that he felt all along that he would get another chance to coach in the NFL.
And he is glad that opportunity is coming in a familiar place with plenty of familiar faces. Williams' coaching career began with the Houston Oilers, the forerunner of the Titans franchise, and he was Tennessee's defensive coordinator when the franchise made its only Super Bowl appearance after the 1999 season.
"I feel like I am home. It is so much fun to see Mike Munchak and Jerry Gray, and Steve Brown and Bruce Matthews and Shawn Jefferson," Williams said. "Those are five coaches on the staff I had a chance to coach and I am not much older. I guess I was pretty young when I was coaching those guys. ... So that is fun. It has been great for me to see just how good a head coach Mike Munchak is."
The Titans also have Nate Kaczor and Arthur Smith on staff, whom Williams worked with in Jacksonville and Buffalo, respectively.
Of course, one of the big side questions for Williams is exactly how much input he will have as Gray still retains the title of defensive coordinator. Gray was Williams' defensive coordinator when Williams was head coach of the Buffalo Bills for three seasons. And the two worked together again when Williams was the defensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins.
But can the two co-exist with Gray actually having the superior title now? Williams says it won't matter.
"We are so much on the same page. One of the things we've done for all these years, the years we've been apart, we traded so much information back and forth," Williams said. "It has just been a real good match and a real comfortable match for everybody.
"We're very open and we speak a lot, but we always have, like I said, even when we haven't been together. He's like a brother. I'm not that much older than him anyway. We've always called and remained in contact. We've done a pretty good job trying to divide up the workload."
One of the things that Williams says he can provide the Titans is to be an extra set of eyes and ears on the practice field and in the meeting rooms to allow not only Gray, but Munchak to do more hands-on coaching at their positions of expertise, if needed.
"Jerry Gray is the best secondary coach I've ever been involved with. I think one of the things, and you'll have to ask him, is that with me being around, he's been able to have his eyes and interests there more than having to go over everything else, and the same with Mike Munchak," Williams said. "His comfort-ability is that he hasn't had to be in all the defensive meetings because of his comfort-ability with me, that I'm in the defensive meetings. So now, Mike Munchak gets to do what he loves to do and that's coach the offensive line."
In other words, there won't be a lack of input and responsibilities for Gregg Williams in Tennessee, and the Titans' beleaguered defense should certainly benefit from his presence.
NFL Team Report - Tennessee Titans - NOTES, QUOTES
--The Titans' experiment with Alterraun Verner at safety is one that is gaining some legs, even though it may only be for certain packages or in an emergency situation.
"From what I know, it's not anything that's permanent," Verner said. "I think they feel comfortable that they have another person that's capable of doing it."
Verner said he expects to be back at cornerback at minicamp June 18-20 when Bernard Pollard returns from a planned vacation that kept him out of OTAs last week.
Verner's move to safety has also opened the door for third-year pro Tommie Campbell to get some first-team reps at cornerback.
Campbell saw plenty of offseason action last year in the hopes that he would step up and at least claim a third cornerback job last season. It didn't happen as he slid down the depth chart in preseason.
Now, with Gregg Williams on board to help the defense and his penchant for liking speedy bump-and-run corners that can play man, Campbell is in play once again for a bigger role.
"It's the same situation for me as last year, but I'm just gonna worry about the things that I can control," Campbell said. "I'm gonna worry about my technique in practice and my approach as a cornerback, having my eyes in the right places. I'm gonna focus on all the instruction from the coaches and my accountability."
Campbell is on the spot to show that he can be more than a special teams player. At 6-2 and with the ability to run in the 4.3s, Campbell has the raw skills necessary to be a solid cover corner. His focus on the mental part of the game is what has to improve.
--Running back Chris Johnson said he is not a selfish player, even though he often states his goal to run for 2,000 yards again.
"Coming in I have goal, but when I say what my goal is, everybody thinks I'm a selfish player," he said. "But at the end of the day, I have my personal goals, but I still have my team goals."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's a lot more calm. I don't see you guys (the media) as much." - Titans RB Shonn Greene on the difference between playing in Nashville and New York.

Murder charge dismissed against Vt. grandmotherAugust 18,2013State dismisses
murder charge
HYDE PARK A Vermont judge has dismissed a murder charge against a Morrisville grandmother found mentally incompetent to stand trial on charges of giving a fatal drug overdose to her infant grandson.
The judge has ruled that Pamela Raymond, 56, does not need to be hospitalized and can be treated in the community.
Raymond, a former nurse, pleaded innocent to second-degree murder in the 2010 death of her 3-month-old grandson. Prosecutors say the child was given a lethal dose of an antidepressant to keep him quiet so he would not bother Raymonds husband in September 2010.
Deputy States Attorney Christopher Moll said the state may file the charge again if it deems Raymond competent to stand trial.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A New Hampshire man is expected to spend nine months in jail in his home...

A special commission charged with finding ways to bring stability to Colorado's state budget heard starkly different visions Thursday of how to do that.
The comments came on the second day of hearings for the Long- Term Fiscal Stability Commission, a 16-member panel created in the midst of what is believed to be the worst budget crisis since the Great Depression.
Advocates of greater services to the poor and increased education spending, such as the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute, told the commission that government spending has been shrinking compared with the rest of the economy, and taxes have been cut multiple times since the 1990s.
But supporters of smaller government, including the Independence Institute, said Colorado's tax and spending constraints have kept the state out of the red and should be even stricter.
Carol Hedges, senior fiscal analyst with the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute, said the expenditures of state government as a percentage of total personal income had fallen from 4.7 percent in 1981 to 3.9 percent in 2007.
State's "moral imperative"
The state now ranks 47th in expenditures per $1,000 of total state personal income.
Hedges pointed out that the state's income tax had been reduced twice since 1999, decreasing from 5 percent to its current 4.63 percent. Meanwhile, she said, sales taxes have been cut once during the same period, from 3 percent to 2.
Hedges said the state has a "moral imperative" to uphold its obligations to Coloradans.
"We can't cut our way out of this perpetual budget crisis," she said, later adding, "while critics will surely bemoan the size of government, recall my earlier point that size is not the issue. Service is the issue."
What would be enough?
But some on the panel questioned that perspective.
"What would be enough? How big should government be in the state of Colorado?" asked Amy Oliver, a Republican-appointed member and a conservative radio talk show host.
"I don't know what the definition of 'enough' is," Hedges replied, "but I also know it's dangerous when we reach a point where we don't have enough."
However, Barry Poulson, an economist and senior fellow at the Independence Institute, said restricting state spending is the answer.
"Colorado is not experiencing a fiscal crisis," Poulson said. "As far as I know, the state is not issuing IOUs, we don't have our bonds being downgraded, and our governor has not gone hat-in-hand to Washington."
He said the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights in the state constitution, which restricts state revenue and spending and requires voter approval for tax increases, has been a boon to Colorado and has kept Colorado from experiencing California's fiscal woes.
"We need to strengthen and secure our tax and spending limits," Poulson said.
Senate Majority Leader John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, agreed the state, which is facing more than a $2 billion shortfall over three years, isn't in a budget crisis.
"We are looking at what I consider to be a budget catastrophe."

Graham Harman LectureApr 28| Lectures
The American philosopher George Santayana once noted that beauty is far more central to our everyday lives than it is in philosophy. And true enough, aesthetics has always been a sort of fringe discipline within philosophy, lower in status than such fields as metaphysics, ethics, and theory of knowledge. In this lecture, Contemporary American philosopher Graham Harman will explain why this usual picture is mistaken, and show why aesthetics deserves to stand at the very center of philosophy.

Q&A with Big 12's Chuck Neinas: 'We don't give anyone a deadline'
DALLAS — Interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas spoke with the media during halftime of Saturday's OU-Texas game.
Is there a consensus on whether league members want 10 or 12 teams?
There is no consensus. When we had an athletic director's meeting there were a couple (of schools) who wanted to stay at nine. There's not even a plurality (most votes but not a majority). Someone said it's 10 or 12 but our first mission is to get a new institution, which is TCU. The second is to maintain Missouri. When that is resolved we can look ahead.
Is there a deadline for Missouri?
We don't give anyone a deadline. At the end of the academic year, maybe. Everybody has to go through a process. Each institution might have a different process they have to follow. In some instances, the board has already given authority to the chief executive officer. But that hasn't happened in all cases. Some have to wait for a normal (monthly) board meeting.
Has Missouri given you a timetable when it will reach a decision?
No, they haven't.
Could Missouri's decision come this week?
No, I wouldn't expect it within a week.
What has been Fox Sports' executive reaction considering they signed a 15-year deal with the Big 12 that kicks in next season?
Fox has been very cooperative. They're willing to work with us, no question.
Does Fox want to renegotiate?
No, no, I'm just saying they understand what the situation is. We'll work through it.

Hey all, remember I was saying I was getting great batery life today for some unknown reason..
after streaming bluetooth audio to and from work today (25 minutes each way), and playing maybe an hour worth of games, checking lots of email and facebook, instagram, etc... lots of regular usage.. here is my end result.. for the first time since i got the phone I've got over 8 hours standby time.. and decent usage!
I really hope it stays this way...
it's only on wifi for the screenshot, just got in the house... i was on 3G all day, LTE disabled.

That pretty good battery life... Was it heavy usage? because that usage chart is not alway accurate. Depends on how much you were actuall using the phone via.... browsing, calls, text etc... cause music playback obviously drains much less battery but still shows the same amount of usage. And if you were on LTE the whole time, def good usage

It was pretty heavy usage, Wifi browsing, text all day, lte on the road. LTE was definitely on the whole day though. I have friends that are getting 9hrs usage. Im guessing it's with music playback.

You can't really fault them for removing posts about that particular subject but, at the same time, if someone is monitoring enough to delete those posts that quickly then it is abundantly clear that they see the amount of traffic generated by this issue and probably have a good idea of how many out there are suffering with it. My suggestion, besides the deleted post, is to call support and file a formal fault. I will be doing so tonight. Then I will decide whether or not I keep this phone as I'm now back to same lousy battery performance I was getting two weeks ago. Apple, since you are obviously monitoring this forum, you should make an official statement or take our UDIDs, give us access to the beta builds, and let us test any fixes you have in store. Beta testing over a large field of users would have found this and nipped it in the bud. Instead, you have a growing number of irate users ready to never buy another product again because of all of the ill will the silence on this issue is causing. This isn't isolated. This forum has abundantly proven that. Please Apple, do the RIGHT THING and at least make a statement in here that you know of the issue and are working towards a fix. That is the very LEAST that should be done. I prefer the UDID proposal as we are more than willing to help solve the issue in any way that we can but patience is bordering on gone now.

My battery is doing okay with about 24 hours of standby and light usage. At 22%. Trick- don't ever open safari. I just wish I could make chrome my default browser so that I could click on links. Right now if I open safari, I close it and then do a total reset of the phone to help perserve the battery. I also have icloud turned off for safari. I have noticed a drastic difference since taking these incovenient steps. This glitch needs to be fixed or let us set another browser as our default. I am going to drain the battery to 0 and then do a complete recharge and hopefully then my phone will give me exact usage and standby time.

very well said ;-) they SHOULD focus their energy and resources to 1# fix this issue 2# at least aknowledge the issue and make a statement.(either a fix if its software related or a replacement phone if hardware related)if this isnt a widespread problem shouldnt be too expensive for a company rich enough to buy some countries right?
still seems a little strange that scott forstall gets fired for mapps :-s a major ios6 f*-up seems more likely to me :p

This is the ground floor of the old warehouse on Father Mathew Quay in Cork. For years it lay rotting away, an eyesore just behind the South Mall, but it's being developed now. I guess there are apartments going in there, but I recall seeing only tiny windows on the upper floors. Anyone know?

Santa came to Cork early this year, sort of. This metal work is from somewhere on the Grand Parade in Cork. It's designed by the firm of Santa & Cole, obviously, and seems to be a perfect place for people to throw their litter unfortunately.
Lysfoss heads into Cork
A large cargo ship of the Lys Line company called "Lysfoss" makes it's way into Cork while a small fishing boat is tied to the pier in Cobh.
In the distance the harbour pilot can be seen heading for the small harbour in Cobh.
It's fascinating what comes up on Google:
The Lysfoss went aground (pdf) in 2001. This page says a vessel of the same name was in dry dock and had repairs made on 2 separate occasions.

Alkos and Ewa
I met Alkos and Ewa last night for a drink or two in the Old Oak. Alkos has his own photoblog, PAD where he posts some great street shots so I was looking forward to meeting him.
We had a few drinks and chatted for a few hours before we had to go our separate ways. He's a dedicated film photographer but he has tried digital but it wasn't to his liking. I'm amazed he finds time to post something new every day. It's tough enough when you only have to copy images from a Flash card, but when you add development and scanning.. Phew. There's his camera on the table. It's a Contax G1, loaded with a b/w film. Picture of that coming tomorrow!
If you haven't done so yet, check out PAD today.

Like Gaspar Noe with a colder, reptilian eye, or a brutalist Robert Bresson, Bruno Dumont cut a divide through contemporary cinematic circles with his first three features. That this swath is tiny and both his detractors and supporters fall largely within that camp we could label "serious cinephiles" is a shame ("Twentynine Palms" may be the best psychological thriller in recent memory), but understandable: Dumont's is a singularly unpleasant body of work. But don't think for a second that unpleasantness precludes magnificence. A critic once wrote of his own inability to climb onboard with (and therefore show much interest in) Dumont's vision of a blank, empty humanity most often caught painfully rutting and rutted in an existence generally not far removed from the average wild beast. To each his own, but to allow a certain kind of species-bound egoism to deny a priori the validity of Dumont's query, the idea that perhaps we're not so far removed in aspect from the beast we eat for dinner or watch on "Planet Earth," seems a touch naive, or at the very least close-minded. And whether you agree with this taciturn French filmmaker about humankind's prospects as a species or not, the extreme dourness of his narratives undeniably make his rare moments of spiritual uplift all the more earned.
Dumont's fourth film, "Flanders," may be a war film, but even with the addition of tanks, helicopters, mortar fire, and weaponry, the milieu still feels uniquely his own, which is to say that of the rural lower class in France. He starts by watching (even at its most fluid moments, the filmmaker's camera is nothing if not an observer, or perhaps more appropriately, an intruder) a love triangle play out amongst three youngsters in Flanders: slow, brooding Demester (Samuel Boidin, who also starred in "La vie de Jesus"), his girlfriend Barbe (an almost translucent Adelaide Leroux), and the handsome interloper, Blondel (Henri Cretel), who picks up Barbe after she fights with Demester in a pub. Both of the men have been assigned to the same unit in an ongoing war that rages in a land none of them know for reasons none of them can articulate. Their impending departure weighs heavily on the slow-build of tension amongst the three which the angelic Barbe seems almost able to deflect, but once the two boys are shipped off to a seemingly Middle-Eastern (most will reduce down to Iraq, but it might as well be some neverland-Algeria - a physical landscape for an abstract state of mind) country, atrocities and violence mount and the film grows simultaneously terrifying and sickening.
Abruptly intercut with the action on the battlefield are scenes of Barbe fighting her own battles - with loneliness, with her reputation as the town slut, with Blondel's child growing in her womb, and, most compellingly, with the possibility that her increasing madness is caused by her ability to witness her suitors' disturbing acts abroad. Delving too far into the plot mechanics of "Flanders" would be tantamount to giving away the shockingly scary ending of "Twentynine Palms," in short ruinous; there's nothing like watching a Dumont film the first time around for visceral, lasting jolts. It's a cinema that's almost unbearable to watch but that exists ecstatic in the mind long after viewing. Comparisons to Bresson are rife and easy given Dumont's employment of nonprofessional actors, decidedly bleak, questioning outlook, and flashes of queasy spiritual bliss. But in some ways, and especially in "Flanders," Dumont reminds me of no filmmaker as much as Stanley Kubrick, similarly masterful at cataloguing the myriad forces which impinge upon the stability of the human psyche. In that way, Dumont's lingering shots of his protagonists' blank expressions aren't really attempts to delve into a roiling mental life, or allow us a space to imprint our own ideas of character, but rather to suggest that the high self-estimation mankind affords itself as a species is based on little more than falsity and wishful thinking. Pretty radical stuff, and the kind of investigation that deserves to be seen and debated.

US soldiers deliberately murdered civilian journalists and children

Excellent social commentary, as always.
I love the statement of this. Great work
This makes such a true statement on society
As good almost kill a man as kill a good book. Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye.
Wow, this is amazing.
like the photo, hate the name
Holy crap. thats amazing
wow O.O
It's somewhat adverse in a way because the ones doing the murdering are lower.
This gave me chills.
This is awesome.
Wonderful piece. Thank you. It helped me feel a little better today.
That is AMAZING.
Seriously mind-blowing.
Seriously mind-blowing.
WOW! That´s pretty cool - it says SO much!
beautifully meaningful image - very political for me and very intense. something we can all understand. too bad no one ever learns from it, eh?
I am against war, but I believe in supporting the soldiers because they can't help the location they get sent to and the politicians/general are the ones who decide these things. The poor men are just pawns and disposable to them.
wow, this is great. im fave-ing.
both are awsome!
fav! great foto
this is great
your art is amazing
i love both of them and the concept more lol ^^
verry good peirce of work. well done
nice...it explains it so simply, yet beautifull...and if all people would say no murder it would be a better world.
very well done!!! truly artsy!!!
i love this picture
It's a very stylized and powerful picture, great work
I Love It!
very powerfull, i love your style
brilliant. i like your style
Simply stunning!
All of your deviations are great. Keep up the great work man!

it'll be only showed to my classroom and i will give you the credits.
very impressive
Absolutely amazing, really brilliant work, must fav!
wow, this is fucking brilliant!! very nice indeed!
fuck yes.
Such a great piece for not only the art but also the subject of course. I adore the wall texture, it looks so nice. The blending of the red blood and blue looks fantastic as well as the 2d hands/guns. This piece looks very sharp, I also love the way text is blened in.
But overall, I agree with No Murder. Stunning yet powerful piece.

Pratt Institute Opens Gorgeous LEED Gold Certified Myrtle Hall
Posted By Jessica Dailey On January 16, 2011 @ 9:54 am In Architecture | No Comments
The Pratt Institute [1], long a leader in sustainable design education, officially opened its new beautiful and sustainably designed digital arts building, complete with a green roof [2] and solar panels. The six-story, 120,000 square foot Myrtle Hall [3] is expected to meet the LEED Gold [4] standard, which would make it Brooklyn's first ever higher education building to receive any LEED certification.
WASA/Studio A [5] beat out several other architecture firms in a highly competitive bidding process. The project's design architect, Jack Esterson, is a graduate of the Pratt's School of Architecture [6] and a long-time resident of Clinton Hill, the home of Pratt's campus. "Our building design is meant to explore the relationship between Pratt — a great New York institution — and the larger community within which it resides," said Esterson. "The development of the two principal wall systems, tied together by the transparent central gathering space, is meant to be a metaphor for that relationship."

About Citizens Advice
Read what we're saying about a range of issues
As MPs debate the need for action on claims management companies today, Citizens Advice is calling for claims management companies to be banned from charging up front fees as firms often fail to deliver on claims, making them worse off than before.
The call comes ahead of the publication of findings from a new report 'The claims pest' out next week (Wednesday 14 November) which exposes the predatory tactics of claims management companies who are set to take £2 billion from the pockets of people who have been miss-sold PPI.
The new figures, taken from a Citizens Advice poll of over 300 people*, show that people are being left in the dark by claims management companies when they first contact a possible client:
Citizens Advice is urging the Ministry of Justice to ban claims management companies from charging up front fees. The average up front fee is £600** yet claimants often have no way of knowing if they have any chance of success. One CAB saw a client who had been charged an extortionate £3,300 in up front fees alone.
Citizens Advice also found that 1 in 4*** people were in debt after forking out costs for the claims management companies' fees and charges.
Yet consumers can keep all of their compensation by making a claim, for free, by going direct to their bank and you can get free advice on how to make a claim from Citizens Advice.
Citizens Advice Chief Executive Gillian Guy said:
"Claims management companies are preying on people who have already lost out thanks to the banks' mis-selling.
"These companies are a hindrance, not a help. We see people who end up worse off because, despite having a successful PPI claim, the compensation goes to pay off their debts and they are saddled with a large fee. Plus many people are paying up front fees yet never get a penny of a payout.
"You can make a claim for mis-sold PPI for free yourself. We have template letters and online advice about how to make a claim and advisers in your local CAB can also help."
Online advice about how to make a claim yourself for PPI can be found at adviceguide.org.uk
*Figures from an online survey of over 300 consumers who had been contacted by claims management companies. The survey was run in August 2012.
**Average calculated from up front fee details supplied by advisers at Citizens Advice Bureaux.
