|Worst Intervention Ever: "Evil Dead," "Olympus Has Fallen," and "Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor"
|Movies - Reviews
|Written by Mike Schulz

While I like the movie just fine, I'm not enough of a fanatic for Sam Raimi's 1981 splatter classic The Evil Dead to get in a twist about the existence of director Fede Alvarez's new, definite-article-free remake Evil Dead. (It's when Hollywood inevitably remakes Raimi's priceless horror sequel Evil Dead II that we're gonna have problems.) But despite being mostly entertained by Alvarez's beyond-bloody outing, especially during its second half, I do have to question the decision to make it, for so much of its length, so bloody serious. This is a film, after all, in which a demon is released by a supernatural incantation, nail guns and electric carving knives are the weapons of choice, and one character escapes a (more-)dreadful fate by enacting a speedier version of 127 Hours. How are we not asked to laugh at all this?
Like Raimi's impish, low-rent original, Evil Dead employs the timeless scare-flick scenario of having five interchangeable youths trapped, by malevolent forces and crap weather, in a cabin in the woods. Yet with Juno scribe Diablo Cody reportedly lending an uncredited hand, Alvarez and co-screenwriter Rodo Sayagues add to this familiar setup a specific note of dramatic urgency, one that winds up being both appreciated and strangely misguided. As we quickly learn, Evil Dead's doomed quintet is staying at the movie's dilapidated cabin because one of their ranks – Jane Levy's Mia – is attempting to go cold turkey following her latest drug overdose; the other four, with brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) among them, are there to get Mia through her first days off heroin, and prevent her from returning to town to score another hit. As a narrative conceit, this is pretty damned inspired. Not only does it help explain why Mia's friends steadfastly refuse to evacuate the premises even when they find a cellar full of dead cats hanging from the ceiling, but it explains why no one believes the young woman's panic-stricken fear of the evil in the woods or her tales of being attacked by ambulatory tree branches. It's withdrawal, Mia's pals presume. She's supposed to act like this.
But we, of course, know that Mia's terror is justified, for we were witness to the accidental release – via spoken words not meant to be spoken – of an invisible entity hell-bent on possession of the youths' souls. And unfortunately, it's not until Mia's companions figure out what's really going on, roughly halfway through the picture, that Evil Dead actually starts becoming fun. Though the film's dialogue is serviceable at best, Levy's and Fernandez's performances boast a pained intensity that nicks your insides, and their three co-stars (Elizabeth Blackmore, Jessica Lucas, and Lou Taylor Pucci) match them in graveness of intent. But the portrayals, and the mood Alvarez establishes, are so somberly conceived that there's little entertainment in watching the cast being victimized here, even when certain gross-outs – such as Levy vomiting torrents of blood on Lucas' face – seem almost tailor-made to be as hilarious as they are nauseating. Evil Dead elicits a happy giggle the first time Alvarez echoes Raimi's signature shot of the camera racing through the woods toward the cabin, suggesting that the vicious spirit can't get to its latest hosts fast enough. (As in Raimi's Evil Dead movies, though, the effect loses its luster with repetition.) Yet despite the frequently – and, in one instance, literally – jaw-dropping makeup, there's nothing to suggest that Alvarez is going for any degree of humor in his gruesome set pieces; he's going for scare-the-bejeezus-out-of-you shock, a sensation he never quite pulls off.
Having said all that, though, the director's offering is certainly well-shot and well-acted throughout, and if you have a healthy gag reflex, you can find enormous disreputable amusement in the sheer tonnage of viscera on display in the second act, when chainsaws meet arms and broken glass meets cheekbones and thundershowers of blood pour from the sky. By the time the movie's hateful demon and the sole human survivor had their inevitable, quippy face-off in the final moments ("I'm going to feast on your soul!" "Feast on this, motherf---er!"), it was a bit late for Evil Dead to start going for yuks. Those seeking "yuck"s, though, won't leave the least bit disappointed.
OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN and TYLER PERRY'S TEMPTATION: CONFESSIONS OF A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR
Still playing cineplex-catch-up following a week spent in Florida, I caught a recent double feature of the action thriller Olympus Has Fallen and the adultery drama Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, both of which have been in release, and making more-than-decent money, for a while now.
Oh, the stupid things I do to alleviate post-vacation guilt.
During the opening minutes of Olympus Has Fallen – filmmaker Antoine Fuqua's tale of North Koreans taking over the White House – it should be immediately clear that the scenes we're watching will soon be followed by a time jump of many months, because Gerard Butler, portraying Secret Service agent Mike Banning, is initially seen clean-shaven and smiling. Fear not, Butler fans (both of you): It's not long until the phlegmatic Scottish star is his typically scruffy, entitled, humorless self, acting as a one-man counter-terrorist unit while barking at Morgan Freeman's acting commander-in-chief, "I'm the best hope you've got!" Pity the state of America.
Training Day director Fuqua isn't without skill – several sequences here, particularly the opener's calamity on an icy bridge, are impressively staged – and I'll admit that I was kind of rooting for Aaron Eckhart's hostage president to be rescued, considering the man was at least savvy enough to hire Freeman, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, and Melissa Leo for cabinet positions. (Is it some kind of veiled joke, though, that the vice president, played by Phil Austin, is a figure of such ridiculous blandness and obsequiousness? Or that his execution comes as a blink-and-you'll-miss-it aside?) But the movie, which showcases some of the phoniest-looking digital effects I've ever seen in a wannabe blockbuster, is such a tiresome, witless Die Hard knock-off that there's even a shameless reprise of the scene in which John McClane runs into Hans Gruber in a darkened hallway and doesn't know he's actually his nemesis; the difference here is that, with Butler as this new film's lead, you're praying for our hero to hand the bad guy his gun. Filled with grossly manipulative "America first!" imagery and sentiments, and laughably convoluted and imbecilic from one minute to the next, Olympus Has Fallen is a deathly embarrassing waste of time and (Butler excepted) talent, and one that, in its two-and-a-half weeks of release, has already suckered its viewers, including this one, out of a collective $70-million-plus. Have I mentioned that we should pity the state of America? It bears repeating.
Meanwhile, Tyler Perry's latest is based on one of his more successful stage plays, and is called Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor. That seems like an incredibly cumbersome title considering that Tyler Perry's Reefer Madness would've been so much more succinct. Another of the auteur's shame-based entertainments detailing exactly what happens to nice girls who trade church, mama, and complete subservience to their husbands in favor of sexual promiscuity and mind-altering substances (You'll get smacked around! You'll be diagnosed with HIV! You'll see your mother thrown to the floor ... and land on her bad knee!), Temptation at least isn't as drearily gloomy as some of his more recent dramas, including last year's Good Deeds. But when faced with the sub-soap-opera plotting, offensive stereotypes, ham-fisted morality lessons, and Kim Kardashian performance we're subjected to here, "gloomy" begins to seem far, far preferable, especially when – succumbing to drink, coke, and unbridled lust – Jurnee Smollet-Bell's formerly upright Judith turns into a teetering, slurring, slutty wreck in what seems like three minutes of screen time. The slackly staged Temptation, which features more bum performances than I've ever before seen in a Perry outing, is an utter mess. But it's never worse than when subjecting Smollett-Bell to her numerous screen humiliations, especially if you still have enormously fond memories of the actress from her title performance, delivered when she was all of 10 years old, in the underrated 1997 gem Eve's Bayou. It should be noted that Perry also cast Keshia Knight Pulliam, The Cosby Show's adorable Rudy, as a heroin-addicted hooker in 2009's Madea Goes to Jail. Quvenzhané Wallis, you've been officially warned.

Four Points by Sheraton, the "best for business" brand of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT). Aside from sleeping, for instance, survey respondents indicated that enjoying the hotel bar or restaurant with colleagues or business partners was their number one activity during free time, outpacing time spent in the gym, spa, shopping or catching up with local acquaintances. In addition, business travelers are good networkers, with nearly two-thirds of those surveyed reporting that they have kept in contact with someone they met on the plane or at the hotel while traveling on the road. About that flight, though: business travelers draw the line with their own colleagues, as more than 60% indicate that they would prefer to fly alone rather than with a business associate. These are among the results of a 2012 hotel business travel study commissioned by Four Points that polled a total of 6,000 business travelers globally – 1,000 each from the United States, the United Kingdom, China, India, Germany and Brazil. Four Points is growing rapidly across nearly 30 countries and carefully monitors the needs and habits of business travelers. The first phase of the survey, released in August, explored the use of mobile technology to stay in touch while traveling, while the second phase focused on leisure activities."Business travelers have a real need to connect on the road – both virtually and in person," said Brian McGuinness, Starwood's senior vice president, specialty select brands. "Our survey results reveal that road warriors are social, preferring to network or to relax in the company of colleagues rather than just enjoying solitary pursuits." McGuinness continued, "Four Points provides everything our guests need to be productive and comfortable on the road and that includes creating opportunities to connect socially through brand-wide programs like Best Brews ™, which invites guests to gather over a great local craft beer when the work day ends."

So we have a lot of forms around our website that unfortunately take a while to submit.
What I wanted to do was write a generic script that either on submit or onclick of a submit button would replace the submit button with a loading indicator and then submit the form, following any redirects that the form submission action does.
If I use jQuery to replace the button on form submission it doesn't replace the submission button but still submits the form. Decided to do it on .click() and that causes the loading indicator to replace the submission button but the form doesn't submit. Also tried to replace the submission button then put a setTimeout and cause the parent of the submission button to submit with the jQuery submit() function, all to no avail.
I've also gone down the road of AJAX submissions and so on but each presents it's own problem.
Currently my code is:
$("#content form :submit").click(function(data) {
$(this).replaceWith('<img src="loader.gif" alt="submitting form" style="display:block; margin:0 auto">');
var form = $(this).parent("form");
setTimeout(function() {
I know this current code is wrong but I've gone through so many different solutions that get it 90% that I've sort of lost it. Any suggestions on how to do this?
EDIT: Sorry I don't think this was obvious enough when I first submitted. On submission the DOM no longer gets updated on Safari at least. although the action happens the DOM doesn't get changed and the submission occurs. The result is the form submits as usual and the loading gif doesn't occur. I thought delaying the actual form submission until the DOM has been updated would fix it but it doesn't seem to submit (1000 is long but want to get things working first). Also if I place the listener on submit rather than click and try to call submit() in it it will cause an infinite loop.

Mashama Bailey is the executive chef and a partner in The Grey, a new restaurant located in a landmarked 1938 Greyhound Bus Terminal in Savannah, Georgia, where she serves her personal take on southern cooking that's at once approachable and modern. Since opening in December 2014, The Grey has earned a number of accolades, including being named one of Food & Wine's Restaurants of The Year, one of Eater's 21 Best New Restaurants in America, and a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation's 2015 Best New Restaurant award, thanks in large part to Mashama's flavorful dishes that highlight local and seasonal ingredients. Mashama was born in the Bronx and raised in Queens. Her maternal roots are in Georgia, and as a result Mashama attended grammar school in Savannah and spent many summers at her grandmother's in Waynesboro. Mashama learned to cook at the hands of the women in her family: her grandmothers, aunts and her mom. To round out her real-world education, she attended the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, has studied in France and traveled far and wide for food. She spent more than a decade cooking at restaurants throughout New York City, most recently working for four years at Prune on Manhattan's Lower East Side under the tutelage of Gabrielle Hamilton. Mashama surrounds herself with family, friends and food and is a firm believer in the old adage that you learn something new every day

What is your earliest memory involving food or wine?
one summer traveling from NYC to Waynesboro Georgia my family stopped at a friends house along the way. They sat me down at the kitchen table and gave me a big slice of red velvet cake. I remember the color, size and taste of that cake like it was yesterday. I think I was four years old.
If you've participated in the Festival before, what is your favorite SOBEWFF memory to date?
No I have not
If this is your first year participating in SOBEWFF, what are you most looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to meeting other chefs. I don't think any chefs know who I am.
If you could cook with anyone in the world, who would it be?

A few more things, maybe a little more info to the player on progressive bonus, like server time when it'll be too late to collect ect. I often fear I;ll lose mine bc I'm confused on exactly when it resets (mabye an hours until next progressive bonus icon)
Another is bonus gold on losses too in order to truly allow for a decent gold rate
Also another bundle, the beginner bundle was great and another, for intermediate or advance players would sell like hot cakes
have u guys thought about a delayed gain on charges for someone who goes first, like no charge til second go? Advantage is more than a few many imo

I don't think epics and legendaries are the same, there is s button in the deck editer for epics and one for legendary
Ancient Priestess effect says it will reduce mana cost by 1 for ancient cards. It doesn't say anything about a minimum of 1. Well I bought Titan's pet bc with her out he should be able to be played for 0. That is not the case bc Titan's pet still costs one with her in play.
I really think there is no need to put a minimum of one on her effect. There should be some advantage of playing an ancient only deck or whatever, but this game currently has very few.

[Kingdoms CCG] Is Mana Flask worth it?
I can see why you say that, the only thing that makes it worth it is that supposedly you can get 1.5 mana from it (since it can sometimes do two) I'd say one charge for 2 mana would be better..but since I feel flask usually only gives me 1 (and I dont like gambling on it every time I play it) I think itd be the same as just sacrificing the card you wouldve drawn instead. Now if the reduce sac'ing to only once per turn then maybe it will have more impact.
I'd say flameling ent could use a slight nerf. In a game where non-physical damage is at a premium bc its so hard to block, his skills have really low charges and he has high hp. Lack of balance, plus bronze top 50 is littered with them (I'd say about 60%+ run flameling) if one hero dominates that much something is wrong

Blue cut ties with injury-marred McKee

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues are cutting ties with Jay McKee, buying out the final year of the defenseman's contract.
The 31-year-old McKee signed a four-year, $16-million free agent contract in 2006 and was due $4 million for next season. The Blues are responsible for two-thirds ($2.64 million) of McKee's salary, which will be spread out the next two seasons.

#ThrowbackThursday to that time Wolfpack Hustle road LA to Vegas in 17 hours. It was a scrappy overnighter with a few water drops along the way from the trusty old toyota. It rained a bit at one point but the squad which included the legendary godfather of BMX himself, Stu Thomsen made it in to Las Vegas in the late morning. In other news Dan Bilzarian has a 600k dollar bet going that he can do it in 48 hours on a recumbent, drafting off a van, with a motorcade of 20 cops and Lance Armstrong as a coach. His chances look pretty good if he is rolling like this: www.instagram.com/p/BDlyTepIDhL/?taken-by=danbilzerian

Respond to Review of Gojo Ethiopian Cuisine
by gypsipixi
Review: Good location in eastown, but not a good place to eat. The place was freezing, dirty and unkept. The service was ok. But we had a gruopon( prepaid coupon) they had a small buffet for a low price that we apparently couldn't eat off of so we ordered a over 20.00 meal for two. Every item on the menu was very pricey. After a series of microwave beeps the owner brought out food to the buffet. Then scooped off food onto our plates from it! We got 3 of the items from buffet. It was not great at all. A much better and cheaper place is Little Africa they are very good.

I've started learning Python recently and as a practise I'm working on a text-based adventure game. Right now the code is really ineffective as it checks the user responce to see if it is the same as several variations on the same word. How do I change it so the string check is case insensitive in Python 3.2?

Established in 2001, American Prairie Reserve (APR) provides wildlife viewing, outstanding scenery and a true sense of the wide open. Thriving herds of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorn and the majestic American bison can be seen in growing numbers. When complete, the Reserve will span 3.5 million acres of private and public land, making it the largest wildlife reserve in America's lower 48 states.
Our mission is to create and manage a prairie-based wildlife reserve that, when combined with public lands already devoted to wildlife, will protect a unique natural habitat, provide lasting economic benefits and improve public access to and enjoyment of the prairie landscape.
The Reserve's vast landscape, described by National Geographic as "America's Serengeti," not only benefits wildlife, but the public is welcome on the Reserve, ensuring our children and those who come after have the opportunity to experience an iconic piece of America's natural heritage.

James Palczynski
Thank you and good afternoon to everyone. Metabolix released second quarter 2010 financial results after the market closed today. If you do not have a copy of the press release, I'd just like to point out that one may be found on the company's website at www.metabolix.com in the Investor Relations section.
Making today's presentation will be Richard Eno, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metabolix and Joseph Hill, Chief Financial Officer of the company. They are joined today by Oliver Peoples, the Co-founder of Metabolix and the company's Chief Scientific Officer.
Before we begin formal remarks, I just need to remind everyone that part of our discussion today will include forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and therefore, undue reliance should not be put upon them. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this conference call. We would refer all of you to our recent filings with the SEC for a more detailed discussion of the risks that could impact our future operating results and financial condition.
With that out of the way, I'd like to now turn the call over to Rick Eno, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metabolix.
Richard Eno
Thank you, James. I'd like to welcome all of you to the second quarter 2010 earnings conference call for Metabolix. Today, I'll provide you with a review of the Metabolix vision and a broad update of our ongoing activities. Joe will then take you through the financials.
We continue to make good progress on our commercialization and development activities and have maintained a strong financial position. For those of you new to these calls, Metabolix is an innovation-driven bioscience company, which is focused on bringing environmentally-friendly solutions to the plastics, chemicals and energy industries. We are developing and commercializing pathways and products that are intended to lessen the world's dependence on oil, reduce CO2 emissions relative to traditional materials and address critical solid waste issues.
We are founded on hard science and have exceptional capabilities and plant science in fermentation, microbial and polymer engineering and in product and market development. We currently have three business platforms, first, Mirel, a bio-based and biodegradable plastic currently being commercialized with our partner, Archer Daniels Midland, through a joint venture called Telles; Industrial Chemicals, initially focused on C4 chemicals and crop-based activities, which include our programs in switchgrass, oil seeds and sugarcane.
I'd like to begin with the Telles business, our joint venture for commercializing Mirel. We have made steady progress since our last call. I'll provide an update on the Clinton plant, the food contact notification process with the FDA, market-related activities and a broad description of our expectations for the coming year. The Clinton, Iowa plant is the production source for Mirel, our first commercial product.
As described in our two previous calls, the initial phase of the plant has been commissioned and is in operation. Product is now in the hands of customers and prospects. The plant has now successfully produced and met the current Telles' specifications for all of our key product grades, injection molding, film and thermoforming.
The Clinton manufacturing team is now transitioning its focus from establishing initial operations into the long-term process of continuous improvement, improving yield, lowering costs and increasing operating rates. In addition to gains expected from these day-to-day operational improvements, we also have several technology enhancements which are currently in late stage development including next generation microbial streams and recovery technologies. We are moving to implement these enhancements at the Clinton plant to further reduce costs, improve capital efficiency and expand the market potential for Mirel.
I'd now like to provide an update on the FDA process for food contact. During the second quarter, we received approval to sell injection molding resin into food contact markets. This is a significant milestone for the company and enables us to sell into application such as cutlery and injection molding food storage containers.
We're currently finalizing our approach for our next FDA submittals which will allow us to sell Mirel into thermoforming and film food contact markets. This will enable us to service thermoformed applications such as coffee lids and yoghurt cups and film applications for using food packaging and storage bags.
Preliminary test results are encouraging. We are anticipating these materials to be approved for food contact markets in Q4 of this year or Q1 of next depending on our chosen submittal patent. The FDA submittal process is somewhat iterative. We are seeing continuous improvement in our product formulations and therefore we are examining a few different submittal options.

Ducks beat Flames in OT on Perry game-winner
ANAHEIM – In 60 minutes and beyond for the second consecutive night, the Ducks showed that they can produce better drama than any reality program can try to conjure up.
Corey Perry is playing the starring role these days as his second consecutive overtime goal gave the Ducks a stunning 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames on Sunday night at Honda Center.
How big was this victory? The Ducks (40-27-5) joined Dallas with 85 points, but they are eighth in the Western Conference because they currently hold the tiebreaker advantage. The Kings, Nashville and Chicago are all right above with 86.
"I'd like to see that we don't put ourselves in that situation that many times," Ducks winger Teemu Selanne said. "After all, it doesn't really matter how you're going to win the game. You need those two points. Every point is so critical right now.
"It's unbelievable how tight it is. But, same hand, it's exciting."
A night after he beat Jonathan Quick for a 2-1 victory over the Kings, Perry became the first player in franchise history to score overtime goals in consecutive games.
Four seconds after Bobby Ryan was stopped by Flames goalie Henrik Karlsson on a penalty shot, Ryan Getzlaf won a faceoff and kicked the puck back to Toni Lydman. Lydman's point shot struck Perry on the leg and got through Karlsson.
"I just went to the net off the faceoff," said Perry, who now is second in the NHL with 39 goals. "I guess it touched somehow and some way. You go to the net and you get rewarded, I guess."
The Ducks forced overtime on Selanne's power-play redirection with 2:01 left in regulation after allowing four consecutive goals to Calgary in blowing a quick 3-0 lead built over the first 5:49 of the game, which earned Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff the hook.
Jarome Iginla's power-play goal at 7:10 of the third gave the Flames (37-27-10), who have 84 points, their first lead but it couldn't keep them from dropping their 13th consecutive game in Anaheim.

Part one of this trip can be found here.
The next day started dry as I left the Unna Allakas hut to hike towards the Swedish and Norwegian border, sporadic rain showers greeted me near the border where I quickly took a few self portraits as evidence!
I find that the Norwegian mountains feel like a bigger version of the Scottish mountains but with added glaciers and rain deer! What I hadn't really planned for was the boulder fields, these take time to cross safely hoping from rock to rock and I was very glad of the extra balance from my hiking poles.
Thankfully the showers weren't as heavy as the previous day and I made good progress for most of the day. My aim was to reach the Norwegian Oallavagge survival hut and dry out before taking an alternative shorter but steeper route to the next campsite over the mountain's shoulder.
The short cut was indeed a time and distance saver but it was quite allot of work, the rain and cloud had settled in by then so despite starting out from the survival hut dry I was soaked again fairly quickly. It did get me to the Hunddalshytta huts quickly and I was lucky enough to find them occupied so I could go inside for the night to dry off instead of pitching a tent in the rain and wind!
The final day started overcast with some drizzle and stayed that way for most of the day, the first stage of my route was simple enough following the trail along the valley and crossing some more boulder fields. The next stage was a very steep ascent with some stream fording, there wasn't as much zig zagging to break up the climb as I'd have expected so it was very tiring work.
On reach the top of the climb I was rewarded with a view of the lake I'd soon be skirting around, which was glacier blue in colour. Following the trail I was dismayed to find a sheet of icy snow covering the lake side and it was bordered by the cliffs above. So I had the choice of attempting to kick steps in the snow and risk a swim in the lake or work my way back and climb the snow to traverse between the snow and the cliff. I took the later option which was still fairly sketchy but felt safer than risking a swim with a 19 kg pack in cold water!
After crossing the snow I was hoping for an easier time only to discover the traverse around the lake was going to be on granite slabs, with water was streaming over them as the rain had picked up with the clouds descent. I was glad of my previous rock climbing experience and the whole experience was accompanied by mutterings of 'Fast is slow, slow is fast' as I tried to resist the urge to rush across the slabs. A fall felt like it would turn into a slide which would most likely end with a fall and/or a swim in the lake. The descent from the lake to the forest below was not over broken ground as I'd hoped but more slabs with running water and the dull roar of unseen waterfalls..
Eventually the slabs started to break up and I saw through a break in the clouds the forests below and Narvik off in the distance. This was great morale booster but I had to double my efforts to resist the urge to rush down the final sections. After the descent was complete and I was on the gravel forest road I was safe to eat, drink some water and then yomp the last 10 km into Beisfjord.
After all my efforts I was happy to wait for the bus to cover the last 10 km to Narvik and I later saw from the bus that there'd have been no path on the road to Narvik anyway. Narvik itself is on the side of a step hill so I had one final ascent to make to the hotel before I could have a shower, eat some food and then sleep!
It was a great trip, I'd wished the weather was better as I could have spent more time taking pictures in the evenings. The Swedish and Norwegian mountain huts were a revolution, I saw a few parties who only stayed in the huts and that meant they only needed small day packs!
Narvik itself was an interesting little town, the war museum is great and the Lofoten railway from Narvik to Abisko is amazing as the train line winds its way up the mountain sides above the fjords. I even managed to get an upgrade to a empty sleeping compartment on the train ride back!

The Boreal Forest © Greenpeace
Greenpeace is dedicated to the conservation of Canada's largest ecosystem, the Boreal Forest. Our first priority is a healthy Boreal Forest which supports viable economies and communities. Representing more than half of Canada's landmass, the Boreal Forest sustains countless plants and animals and plays a critical role in mitigating global climate change. The Boreal holds some of the highest quantities of terrestrial carbon in the world – an estimated 208 billion tones. It is also the source of life and culture for many Indigenous communities. Yet many areas of the Boreal Forest are under threat by destructive logging practices.
Greenpeace has identified five "Endangered Forest" areas that are amongst the most valuable intact wilderness left in Canada's commercial forest. Unfortunately, companies like Resolute Forest Products are logging in some of these forests and destroying critical caribou habitat. Resolute is currently suing Greenpeace for $7 million to divert your attention from its destructive practices. But Greenpeace is standing up for the forest and won't be silenced by this lawsuit.
Currently, only 8 per cent of Canada's forest area is protected by legislation. A comprehensive network of protected areas is vital to conserve the Boreal Forest for future generations.
The forest can't defend itself. Take action and #StandForForests now.

A new type 2 diabetes drug is now available to the NHS in Scotland, following a positive recommendation from the Scottish Medicines Consortium.
Canagliflozin (Invokana) is licensed for adults for whom diet and lifestyle measures, or treatment with other glucose-lowering medicines, do not provide adequate control of glucose levels.
The SMC has set certain restrictions on the use of the drug. It can be used as dual therapy in combination with metformin, as triple therapy in combination with metformin plus standard of care, and as an add-on to insulin therapy in combination with insulin plus standard of care.
Canagliflozin is an oral, once-daily tablet, belonging to a drug class called sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which block the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys. As a result, the glucose is excreted in urine.
The most common adverse events are genital fungal infections such as thrush, urinary tract infections and increased urination. There is also a low risk of hypoglycaemia associated with canagliflozin treatment when it is used with metformin.
The drug is manufactured by Janssen and LifeScan.

Bielema should have plenty of time over the next few months to settle in to his new home. Arkansas put the finishing touches on its set of 15 spring practices with last weekend's Red-White game.

what are some stereotypes (positive & negative) associated to those who ride bicycles?
Roadies = snobs
Tree huggin' hippies.
messengers = potheads
This day will be over... one of these days!
"I have cancer, cancer doesn't have me."
Quote from a Kaiser commercial that reminds me of my mom.
People on old bikes with visor helmets, lights, and panniers = Freds (Wilmas?)
People on hybrid bikes with suspension on the MUP aren't "real" cyclists.
People on X-Mart specials are poor/ newbies
BMXers are cretins
Mountain bikers are crazy and disrespectful
All cyclists are homosexual.
People on fixed gears are hipster poseurs/ messenger wannabes
Real messengers have death wishes.
Roadies are all wealthy middle aged super-poseurs trying to look like pros
Commuter cyclists are too poor to drive or lost license for DUI/DWI

Let me put it this way:
Stereotypes are for people who like to put down other people. They like to put down other people to make themselves feel better about themselves. They have this need because they are insecure and self conscious about their appearance, personal life, their general failure in life as human beings.
Thus, stereotypes are for low life losers.
That is as clear of understanding some of you able to receive as possible, without getting a degree in psychology.
I'll have to disagree. What you're talking about is more akin to prejudice. Stereotyping isn't always necessarily a negative thing. I think a more accurate discription would be profiling. Birds of a feather blah blah blah.Originally Posted by djSlvt
noncyclists or non forum cyclists have never heard of a fred and their perception of a cyclist has to do with there clothes and hair.

I've been asked if I needed a ride to work even though I ride a new cannondale and drive a late model vehicle sometimes also. I'm sure they thought it came from walmart.
While waiting in line I've been asked about my CAAD9+Dura-Ace so I said that it was a $90 cheapie from x-mart. They proceeded to tell me how the better quality bikes from bike shops have knobby tires for better grip and much more comfortable gel seats, all the while I nodded and agreed (choking back the laughter).Originally Posted by texasphil

Most of the cyclists I see are middle aged people trying to get in shape or stay in shape. The rest are out for a holiday ride, an 'airing out', so to speak. Some are commuters. These are so positive, I have to congratulate all of them. And all of you! bk

So far this year, audiences for faith-based films at the multiplex have been treated to Son of God, God's Not Dead, and Noah, and now there's director Randall Wallace's Heaven Is for Real to add to the mix.

During the final third of director Zack Snyder's Superman reboot Man of Steel, Henry Cavill's caped crusader and Michael Shannon's villainous General Zod take turns pummeling each other into Smallville storefronts and Metropolis skyscrapers, and the combined force of their Kryptonian blows routinely causes the edifices to tumble to the ground. For most of the length of this relentlessly noisy and dour superhero outing, it felt as though they were tumbling directly on my head.

I still say there is no such thing as an accidental discharge of a firearm, there's mechanical failure and MORON discharge, playing stupid games "or any games really" with a loaded firearm are an EXTREME case of Moron discharge.

Looking for a basic point and shoot with a wired remote
I'm in need of a basic point and shoot camera that has a wired remote attachment. I'm putting the camera on the front of a prop, and want to take pictures with it, but without reaching over to the shutter button. Since the location of the remote trigger probably won't be within line of sight of the camera, I don't think I can do infrared.
However, finding point and shoot cameras with wired remotes is becoming difficult, so I was hoping here someone might have a recommendation.
