Let's face it Eddy Murphy hasn't been making grade A movies over the
past few years, at least none that matched his earlier films. So I
can't help but admit that I was a little skeptical when I saw A
Thousand Words advertised on T.V. To my surprise however, I was
actually entertained with this picture, and even more surprised by the
serious message present in this film. So sit back, relax, and read more
about Eddy Murphy's newest film A Thousand Words.
The movie basically starts out like any other movie he stars in with Eddy Murphy, playing Jack McCall, being involved in some busy career and the rest of his life is essentially put on hold. As usual, these opening scenes are filled with his classic crude humor, some of which was funny for me and some I had heard countless times before. Murphy's mouth is as filthy as ever, and those who love hearing him scream and curse will not be disappointed at the majority of his dialog at the beginning of the movie. However, things change when the guru Sinja (Cliff Curtis) is visited by McCall and the blood bond between a magical tree and McCall get his thousand word limit, where every word he speaks (and writes) results in a leaf falling off the tree. From this point onward, the comedy style takes a different path and involves a combination of funny dialog, situational comedy, and of course some funny gestures that made me chuckle. With a limited number of words at his disposable, the writers did a nice job picking the right words at the right moment. There were countless times I laughed as he said one or two words at just the right moment to have me laughing. Instead of Murphy saying most of the funny lines though, his apprentice Aaron (Clark Duke) provided most of the zingers. Duke manages to once again play the naïve, immature teenager who knows how to say the wrong things, at the wrong time, in the most awkward way possible. As a result it works, though it does get annoying after the fifth or sixth time. What was funnier for me however, were the comedic situations Murphy's character was forced to endure. A few charade scenes, the escort of a blind man, and countless business meetings that required him to speak made me crack up at various points in the movie.
However, comedy is not the only thing this movie has to offer. A Thousand Words has a message built into it that really hit me deep down. Now revealing this message would ruin a lot of things about this movie, so I can't tell you what it is. The way they presented the message is free game though, and quite well done. I applaud the director's brilliant technique of building up the tension in the movie using temporary lulls in the comedy to develop the situation. When the limit is reached however, the group manages to capture the emotions with a combination of fitting music, great camera angles, and just the right balance of screen time to capture the actor's emotion. Murphy surprised me with how serious a role he can play and I admit there were one or two times I nearly teared up. Yes there were points where this movie was a little preachy and cheesy, but overall it tugged at my heart strings and made me really appreciate what they had to say. However, it's up to you to see the movie and see if the message affects you the same way.
Overall, A Thousand Words is a decent comedy, not the best or the crudest mind you, but still decent. The nice balance of drama and comedy, on top of some good character development and clever use of props and the environment were very entertaining for me. Yes, it's the same predictable Eddie Murphy movie you have seen in the past, but it's finally getting back to his comedic roots, while still providing some dynamic emotion that I haven't seen him do in a while. Is it worth a trip to the theater? Well for comedy not really, you can get the fun laughs just as well at home. However, the strong spiritual message this movie offers I think is worth a trip, but that's just me. Regardless here are the scores:
Comedy: 6.0 Movie Overall: 7.0
So as always enjoy the movies my friends and tune in next week for a review on 21 Jump Street.
You will find reviews here using thousands of words in order to flame
this movie, clearly they didn't understand it. You will know why after
seeing it.
People are disappointed because they wanted to see an Eddy Murphy style comedy, the problem is this ain't a comedy it is a drama with a very good message. I loved Eddy Murphy in his first movies, he was a fast talking joke machine, he still is but the jokes are the same and comedy has moved on. For that matter I didn't like the comedy portion of this movie too much but I was deeply touched by the drama version. The solution to his problem is right in front of him and anyone who is willing to give this movie a fair chance will see it too and exactly this is what made the movie so strong because he is doing it all wrong and you want to scream at the screen and tell him what to do and how to do it.
In my opinion Eddy Murphy gave a partially brilliant performance. As I said I didn't enjoy the comedy too much, it was some sort of best of Eddy Murphy but when you are willing to accept that this is actually a drama and understand the comedy part as the metaphor that it is you will love this movie and maybe pull something valuable out of the message. For the concept of the message Eddy Murphy was the best possible actor for this role.
I cannot understand why someone would rate this so poorly and call it
"an abomination" of a film. These people must like to watch depressing
or utter brain dead movies, over heart warming, feel good movies.
Granted this film is not perfect, there are definitely some unnecessary and quite stupid scenes, but this does not detract from the overall moral of the story which makes a powerful philosophical point - a point we must all contemplate.
Eddie Murphy is his funny usual self and the rest of the cast do a great job. Also the cinematography is excellent with some remarkable scenes.
I highly recommend this movie for anyone looking for a meaningful movie. A must watch for all who are positive.
I have to assume that the people who rated this one below a 5 were
expecting the standard slapstick fare. This isn't going to go down as a
classic film, but it kind of picks up from "Holy Man" from 1998 in that
the movie is about an unexpected encounter causing someone to re-
evaluate and embrace their life.
Murphy does a pretty good job straddling comedic and dramatic acting. It's more like one or the other rather than both in the same scene, but it's not bad. The supporting cast is pretty good as well. The writing is decent enough.
What made me give this a 7 instead of a 6 is the ending. You pretty much know what's coming - that Murphy's character will resolve the issues which keep him from being happy. But the last 8 minutes or so are just really well done. Murphy's warmth really shines and you can't help but smile. And for that ending, I gave it an extra star.
Put this in the "feel-good comedy" category.
I've been an Eddie Murphy fan since I first saw him on "Saturday Night Live" back in 1980. I've laughed at most of his stuff on TV and movies most of that time. I haven't seen everything he's done but what I've seen I've mostly enjoyed. So it is that I indeed enjoyed this knowing many of the things he does and says in this movie can be quite either silly or stupid but what can I say, I still find him very funny. And Clark Duke who plays his assistant also got plenty of laughs from me especially when he does his version of a street smart person. I also found Kerry Washington appealing as his wife and Ruby Dee as his mother nicely playing someone who seems to live in the past since she keeps mistaking her son for her since-abandoned husband. I thought Allison Janney was wasted as his boss, however. Oh, and I also loved the comic chemistry between him and Jack McBrayer as a Starbucks employee. In summary, A Thousand Words is no great shakes, but it was still entertaining enough for me.
Eddie has been involved in a lot of crap since the release of "Raw".
It's almost as if he felt a debt to society and his family to start
making cheesy, family films. The results have been under-whelming to
say the least.
This is Eddie's best film in many years. The plot is ridiculous as with much of what he's been associated with of late, but Eddie is on top of his game here. This film is right up there with Eddie's best over the last 2 decades WHICH ISN'T saying much, but it does make it worth the price of admission at the very least. That's to say it's nearly as good as "The Nutty Professor" or "Boomerang", but a clear notch above films like "Bowfinger" and "Norbit".
He's genuinely funny here, but the script isn't all that funny overall. He carries much of the weight with his expressions and physical comedy.
The other saving grace is the heart of the film. The film does carry nice message, and tugs the heartstrings for those who make the time investment on this one.
I was surprised, but that might have had as much to do with my expectations as it did anything else.
I can marginally recommend this for those who like a light-hearted comedy.
Eddie still has it! He does! You get glimpses of it here. All us ol'timer's are still waiting for him to tackle a great project with an "R" rating, but this film is far better than it's score here or anywhere else.
Not that I blame the audience - but it seems as if the reputation of Eddie making bad films has put a seriously negative spin on what is actually a decent little film here. Let's not trample on the guy.
My biggest gripe was with one particular scene where the CGI is over-blown and unnecessary but other than that, this film wasn't bad at all.
Scoring it exactly the same as another rental from yesterday, "Thin Ice", 65/100, and rounding it to 7. I don't feel bad about it either.
Not nearly as bad as I had anticipated.
You might like this if you liked: Yes Man(slightly better or even), The Nutty Professor(slightly better or even), and Bruce Almighty(slightly better).
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Have you ever thought which words were the most important and
quintessential in our life - "I love you", "Thank you", "Forgive me"?
Did you count them? In fact, the words you transmit are so relevant
that they are the key "to open the doors" in our life.
Kahlil Gibran said that "all our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind."
Emily Dickinson wrote: "A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day."
Nathaniel Hawthorne stated that "words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become, in the hands of one who knows how to combine them".
Winston Churchill was confident when saying "You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken - unspeakable! - fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse - a little tiny mouse! - of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic."
At last I've watched this "A Thousand Words" with Eddie Murphy. I did like the idea. There's a powerful message in the last 15-20 minutes of the movie which is on the whole a combination of comedy, rather a farce of rude words and thoughtless actions in the first half, and a serious meditation over the sense of life and meaningful words in the second one. What was the conception? Suppose you get to know that every word you say can become the last one. So you think before it to what to say or be silent. One realizes that words are countable and can not be wasted. Only the words that are crucial and urgent ought to be uttered. The words you hadn't say yet. To your mother, family, people. And you shall say these words even if you know that every single word will near you to death. You regret you haven't done it when there was a plenty of time and now there is only a limit of words that shorten this time to zero as you are in Zeitnot. Perhaps Eddie Murphie wasn't that good in the movie, perhaps it would have been better to have Jim Carrey in it to continue his protagonist of "Liar, Liar" and "Yes-Man" hilarious in their form but thought-provoking in their matter movies. However, the movie is worth seeing.
Lord Byron's (1788-1824) last word was "Goodnight".
A Thousand Words starts off like a typical Eddie Murphy film, utilizing
his expected blend of physical slapstick, mile-a-minute chatter, and
wild-eyed contortionist facial expressions. The humor is derived almost
entirely from awkward communications between Murphy and his
acquaintances. But when the plot is well under way and the predicament
becomes serious, the film takes a turn toward a sentimental, emotional
drama, where the hero must right his wrongs and make amends with his
past. It's as if the script was already in place, Murphy signed on,
then rewrites shaped the movie into a vehicle for his unmistakable
style (it probably doesn't help that filmmaker Brian Robbins also
directed Meet Dave and Norbit). While the result is certainly not
unwatchable, the mood is rather muddied and the laughs are never big.
Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) is a literary agent for the Apogee company, using his signature rapid-fire articulation to negotiate moneymaking deals. His sights are set on the "New Age crap" of Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis), whose philosophies and teachings are attracting crowds greater than those of Miley Cyrus concerts. It's a spiritual movement and McCall wants to be the one to sign the guru to a highly profitable new book deal. Shortly after his encounter with Sinja, Jack discovers that a Bodhi tree has sprouted in his back yard and that it sheds leaves quite rapidly one for every word he utters. Mysteriously, the trunk has a magical connection to the agent's body, preventing Jack from chopping it down. The calm, watchful, pie-eating sage hypothesizes that when the woody perennial drops its last leaf, McCall will die.
There's a glaring error early on that is so blatant it's hard to ignore it. The major plot gimmick relies on McCall desperately not wanting to talk. When he writes a note to his sleeping wife, each written word also causes a leaf to fall. Infuriated, he flips off the tree, which results in an identical reaction. As soon as it's defined that a crude gesture affects the tree in the same manner as talking, the whole idea falls apart. Every subsequent effort taken by Jack to communicate is through some sort of expressive movement, whether it be a frantic form of Charades, furious countenance spasms, or tempestuous howling. Yet the tree doesn't lose foliage to these commotions. If the movie played by its own rules, he would be dead by the end of the day.
Even if the inherent silliness of the story can be brushed aside, the uncertainty with which the fantasy unfolds is disheartening. Strong messages of spirituality, examining the importance of words, miscommunication, forgiveness, being true to oneself, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of life, and accepting inner peace are temporarily poignant, but interfere with the initial onslaught of jokes. While it's a fun premise with clement humor (and a few smartly indelicate gags by Clark Duke as McCall's dimwitted assistant, who proves a favorably contrasting comedic counterpart for Murphy), it can only end one way with overly formulaic contrivances sorting out the dilemmas of a man trapped in the structure of conventional relationships and success.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie was reminiscent of Eddies Murphy's "Trading Places" for me.
It's kind of a modern fable/comedy/light social commentary. In both
movies, Murphy's character is a successful businessman who is a little
lost personally and spiritually (which is an immediately recognizable
sensation for almost anyone at some point in their lives). External,
and vaguely spiritual forces intervene (in the Case of Trading places,
2 bosses who take their roles from God and Satan from the story of Job)
and in the case of 1000 words, this external force takes the form a
new- age spiritual guru played by Cliff Curtis. New-age spiritual guru
roles are traditionally played for laughs, but Curtis displays some
comedic- inspired subtle turns here and the film overall displays a
surprising sensitivity towards spiritual matters in general. As in
trading places, Murphy's character has problems to overcome, difficult
decisions to make, and ultimately has the chance to complete a personal
and spiritual transformation of his own.
The writing is not Oscar-worthy and at times low-brow but (at least to me) frequently hilarious--especially in scenes where Murphy's silence draws people in to saying things about themselves they really weren't intending to. As in other Murphy movies, there is some gentle social commentary and nerdy white people are often played for laughs--Murphy's assistant is especially hilarious as he inverts the common logic of the uncool/uptight white guy at times to assume a "gangsta" persona to take over Murphy's job duties while Murphy can only watch, wide-eyed, as the silent straight man.
This film ultimately won me over with it's good-natured, intelligent, writing and acting. Comedy bits, while while often off-color, never steer into the clichéd or mean-spirited. Don't go in expecting too much and you might leave the theater with a warm, if slightly fuzzy, spiritual feeling of you own.
This movie could have been a winner much like The Golden Child for Eddy Murphy. The premise for this film could have gone there mystical, imaginative...the plot line lent itself to such success. However, rather than using Murphy's awesome comedic talent, the makers of this picture resorted to reducing him to grimaces, hideous facial contortions none of which were amusing at all. Granted there was a reason in the movie for Murphy's character not to be able to talk for awhile, but he could easily have performed versions of charades, used eye rolls and raised eyebrows and brought the house down. However, that didn't happen. It was all over the top and not funny at all. The only character in this picture to do justice to his part was Clark Duke playing Murphy's assistant. This wasn't enough to make the film a success. Such a waste and frankly, I'm rather tired of being disappointed when I go to the movies. Especially to an Eddy Murphy film. I expect more.

Vikings linebacker Erin Henderson is expected to return to practice on a limited basis this afternoon, still working his way back from the concussion he suffered Sept. 16 at Indianapolis. Head coach Leslie Frazier acknowledged this morning that Henderson has received clearance to go through parts of Wednesday's practice and then will receive a follow-up evaluation on Thursday.
Henderson spoke with reporters before practice Wednesday for the first time since being formally diagnosed with the concussion and acknowledged the restlessness he's felt as he's waited for the symptoms of his head injury to subside.
"This is a little bit different than anything I've ever had to deal with before in my life," Henderson said. "Typically when you're injured or you're dealing with things, you attack it. You try to get better. You try to do your rehab and do whatever it takes to get back on the field. But when you're dealing with something like this, it's just a completely different animal, man. The biggest thing is just to rest and take your time and try to come back when you feel like you can be of help to the team and an asset and not a liability."
Henderson believes this is the first concussion he's ever suffered. And perhaps the strangest part of the whole ordeal was that he had to leave the field late in the Indianapolis game after coming up a bit woozy after a tackle. But Henderson returned to play in the final series of that loss and didn't receive a formal concussion diagnosis until three days later.
"It was a little uncomfortable for me," Henderson said. "It was a different feeling than anything I've ever had to deal with or whatever I've ever been through before. You kind of feel like you're not really yourself. You don't really have the same oomph you usually have, that same pizzazz that you usually have. I recognized that. But you know, I thought it was a tough game, maybe it took something out of me. Who knows? As time went on and it progressed, I just didn't feel right."
Henderson praised the Vikings' coaches and training staff for the way they've looked after him the past two weeks. He was also forthright in acknowledging his concerns over the known long-term risks of concussions that have been brought under the NFL's spotlight in recent years.
"It's a tough business that we work in, a tough industry we work in," he said. "But I've just got to trust and believe that we're doing the right things and handling this the right way. And when I'm ready to be back out on the field, I'll be back out there. And you guys will see the [number] 50 you're used to seeing and gotten accustomed to seeing."

K ladies what's the scoop with riding rides at Disneyland I'm onl y5 weeks. So you think it'll be ok or should I avoid splash mountain???��
Trip to Disneyland
Married to my love, 7/10/10 after 8 years & Mommy to Princess Serenity 2/14/05 and my lil monkey Alex Jr 12/16/11!
missing our angels
when i was pregnant with my first i didnt know i was pregnant yet but i rode all of the disney rides (even the bad ones) and all of the universal orlando rides. my son turned out just fine but i am not suggesting you ride them i am just sharing. i wouldnt ride anything that jerks or whips around. i wouldnt see anything wrong with spash mountain but thats just my opinion
I have a pass and go to disney with my baby weekly. We are super regulars.
In Disneyland you can ride every ride that is NOT a mountain or has the word mountain in it. (Like space MOUNTAIN, Splash MOUNTAIN, thunder MOUNTAIN... Maderhorn, etc) and Indiana Jones. Everything else is just fine and has been approved safe for expectant mothers and children of all ages.
So have a blast!
This doesnt apply for DCA (Disney Cali Adventure) though. They have a lot of rides your not allowed to go on. lol.
I am a former ride-operator at Disney, and I would personally suggest not riding any ride with a warning sign. The reasons vary depending on the ride, and even though some of the reasons seem obvious, the more serious reasons are not obvious.
For example--Space Mountain, not very rough as far as roller coasters go, and would probably not bother you even if you rode it continuously all day. But--like most theme park rides, it has an emergency stop system, and on this one, depending on where you are in the track, it can stop really hard.
Just believe me when I tell you that incidents do occur, and almost every single thing I ever saw was due to an aspect of the attraction that was not obvious. Just keep in mind that they don't put those signs up there just to be mean. They're not in the business of trying to keep people off their rides. There wouldn't be a warning if there wasn't a good reason.

'Francis revolution' rolls on in both symbols and substance
The "Francis revolution" continued in January with personnel shuffles, policy signals and gestures reinforcing the pope's vision of a more merciful church.
The "Francis revolution" continued in January with personnel shuffles, policy signals and gestures reinforcing the pope's vision of a more merciful church.
As the Legionaries of Christ continue trying to chart a new course, there are signs the order is far from unanimous about what that course should look like.
Thieves reportedly stole a relic of Blessed John Paul II from a country chapel 85 miles east of Rome.
Italian media reported Monday that the relic, a piece of fabric soaked in Blessed John Paul's blood, had disappeared over the preceding weekend from the church of San Pietro della Ienca. The church is located near the city of L'Aquila, in the mountainous Abruzzo region where the late pope frequently went on brief vacations.
As protests against the Ukrainian president spread to cities across the country, Pope Francis offered his prayers for the nation's people, "particularly for those who lost their lives in the last few days and for their families."
At least three protesters died Jan. 22 in Kiev, Ukraine's capital and the site of anti-government protests since late November.
Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, coordinator of the Council of Cardinals, is confident the council will bring the church up to date.
Pope Francis said judges on church tribunals should show "imperturbable and impartial balance" as well as the "delicacy and humanity proper to a pastor of souls."
John Allen in Rome: Pope Francis phoned up the mother of a 16-year-old who disappeared in 1993 to promise the church's help and to pray for her.
John Allen in Rome: In a message Thursday to the world of communications, Pope Francis called on the media to foster two qualities for which they're not exactly renowned.
John Allen in Rome: To those skeptical that the Legionaries of Christ can change, members of the order say there are no guarantees but ask for a chance.
Summarizing efforts made in 2013 to improve transparency and compliance with international standards for financial operations, the Vatican bank confirmed that it conducted a "detailed investigation" of the accounts held by a monsignor arrested by Italian police for the second time Tuesday.
Msgr. Nunzio Scarano was suspended in late May from his job as an accountant in the Vatican office overseeing property and investments. The Vatican suspended him when it learned that he was under criminal investigation in Italy.

The Skye in June
by June Ahern
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was an excellent story. This book brings out just about every emotion you have. Cathy Jimmy and their five girls move to San Francisco after Cathy has another miscarriage and almost dies. Right from the very beginning I didn't like Jimmy. He came across as selfish and disrespectful. I saw this in the hospital where Cathy was having her seventh child, another girl. The doctor wanted her to stay longer because she had a rough delivery and Jimmy didn't care. He told her that her place was at home that the kids needed her there.
I felt like I was in Scotland feeling the tension between the Protestants and the Catholics. The father was very involved in his Catholicism, but I'm not sure the church would have considered him a good Catholic.
You could tell there was tension in the family from the beginning of the book. It was raised a notch when Cathy names this daughter June going against the wishes of naming her after a saint like she did with all of her other daughters.
June is special. She seems to know things ahead of time. She always knew when Helen was sick.. She also was the one who alerted the adults to Helen's inability to breath.
Once they move to America June is branded as being different. This causes all kinds of problems with her father. I thought her father was mean and cruel when he was in Scotland. Once he got to America I really detested him. He became no longer verbally abusive, but physically abusive to all of the girls. They all grew to hate him. It was obvious when you heard them talking about how to kill him.
June doesn't fit in with the Catholic faith and gets kicked out of the Catholic school. When she accidentally catches her robe on fire and is severely burned her father has her locked in the psych ward. Want to know how this affected the family? Will Cathy finally stand up to her husband? You must read this book to find out.
A sweet story, bringing the old country to the new.

No, the addictiveness of these destroy-ancient-civilizations video games is more insidious — it might be time for bed, but you promise yourself you'll just find the perfect place to found your second city, or quickly give Montezuma a much-deserved smackdown. And then you should probably find yourself a good source of copper, and decide whether to pre-emptively attack Bismarck, and... and then the sun is coming up and you're hunched over your computer, propping yourself up with an elbow as you repeat to yourself, "Just. . .one. . .more. . .turn."

The goals of the ABOUT Network are to collect and measure real-life experiences, questions, decisions, and health outcomes of people like you who are concerned about or living with a cancer-causing mutation or hereditary cancer risk.
Women who are at high risk for breast cancer are recommended to undergo increased breast surveillance. Women who elect screening for risk-management have unique needs for support, resources and information. The purpose of this survey is to better understand and characterize the needs of this section of our community.
This survey will help us improve care and information for women undergoing heightened screening for breast cancer. Once completed, the results of this survey will be shared with the FORCE community.
Take the Survey on Support, Education, and Resource Needs for High-risk Women Undergoing Breast Surveillance
There is a need for more treatment options for hereditary cancer, and the need is dire for women with metastatic hereditary breast cancer who make up a small subset of the larger breast cancer population. To better understand the nature of hereditary breast cancer and to advocate for more research and better treatment options, FORCE is conducting a brief survey for women who have received a diagnosis of metastatic hereditary breast cancer. This survey is open to women who:

Whitehurst opened up the morning by warning attendees about antiquated software modes of the 20th century that can't keep pace with today's fast-moving development and user needs. While Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and others are pitching visions, said Whitehurst, Red Hat will continue to listen to customers and deliver new value back to them. Instead of forcing a complete architecture on customers, Red Hat will continue to promote an "architecture of participation," said Whitehurst.
Next up, Executive VP Paul Cormier gave attendees a quick IT history lesson. He asserted that customers have gotten locked in -- over and over again -- at the hardware, operating system, middleware and application levels. Cormier was quick to insist that Red Hat freed customers at the operating system level in 2002 with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, at the middleware level with JBoss in 2006 and now at the SOA level with JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform.
Trouble Ahead?Still, Cormier expressed concerns that customers could get locked in once again as they evaluate cloud strategies from VMware and Microsoft's emerging Windows Azure cloud service.
But in Microsoft's defense, the software giant has publicly stated that the Windows Azure cloud will support open source offerings like MySQL. And SugarCRM CEO Larry Augustin recently said the open source CRM provider also is willing to give Windows Azure a look.
Nevertheless, Whitehurst and Cormier insisted market trends favor Red Hat's subscription model approach. Cormier noted that roughly 80 percent of all commercial software solutions will be based on open source by 2010, according to a Gartner estimate.
Back with more thoughts from Red Hat Summit later today.

Mountain bikes typically dominate Sea Otter, but there were still a few drool-worthy road products on display. Several companies used the festival to show new systems for road-bike disc brakes. —Andrew J. Bernstein
New Road Tech on Display at Sea Otter
ENVE Smart Road Wheels
10 / 15
The latest fruits to come from ENVE's collaboration with aerodynamicist Simon Smart are the new 3.4 and 6.7 carbon clincher wheels, both available now. After conducting hundreds of bike fittings, Smart realized that wheelsets with different rim depths could make bikes easier to handle without sacrificing aerodynamics. He worked with ENVE to put his theory into practice. The 3.4 wheelset uses a 35mm front rim and 45mm rear rim. The 6.7 is 60mm deep in the front, and 70mm in the rear. The 8.9 tubular wheelset, 85mm deep in the front and 95mm in the rear, is due out soon with a clincher version to follow. Each rim is available pre-built with Chris King or DT Swiss hubs. The rims are also available on their own. The five-year-old company added that all of its products are now covered by a five-year warranty.

Judaism of the Second Temple Period. Vol. 2: The Jewish Sages and Their Literature
Hwang, Jin K., Hebrew Studies Journal
JUDAISM OF THE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD. VOL. 2: THE JEWISH SAGES AND THEIR LITERATURE. By David Flusser. Translated from the Hebrew by Azzan Yadin. Pp. x + 380. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 2009. Cloth, $42.00.
This book is a collection of twenty-six essays written by David Flusser. It was originally published in Hebrew by Hebrew University Magnes Press and Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi Press in 2002 and is now translated for English readers.
In the book, Flusser provides many indispensable insights on Second Temple Judaism based on his careful research of biblical, rabbinic, Jewish-Hellenistic, Qumran, early Christian, and Greco-Roman literature and of some of the Jewish liturgical practices that have continued even today (e.g., prayers and synagogue benedictions). Taking the New Testament and early Christian literature as valuable historical sources, along with other Jewish writings, for understanding Judaism in the Second Temple period (see especially in chaps. 2, 7-9, 17-18), Flusser differentiates himself from other scholars who tend to discredit their significance in their study of Second Temple Judaism.
Throughout the book, Flusser quite impressively uncovers the earlier sources belonging to the Second Temple period from the various texts written and/or compiled after the destruction of the Second Temple in order to articulate the commonalities and variations within the Jewish understanding of a specific topic during the Second Temple period.
In chapter 2, for example, Flusser most clearly and comprehensively demonstrates both the unity and the diversity of Second Temple Judaism on nine important themes (purification, divine providence, the oral torah, peshat and derash, the Temple, prayer, messianism, eschatological seers, and heavenly beings). Since he understands Second Temple Judaism as represented by and reconstructed from multiple historical sources that had often been influenced by the worldviews of particular Jewish religious or social groups, it can hardly be a monolithic entity but rather a multi-faceted one (p. 8).
In the remaining chapters, Flusser also pays careful attention to the different expressions when a common idea appears in the various Jewish and early Christian texts, which were largely Jewish by nature. But he tries to keep a balanced stance in assessing the possibility of their interdependence; a parallel idea attested to in more than two different texts that are supported by different groups, after all, may not necessarily indicate one text's dependence on another (see, for instance, his conclusion on the nonliteral midrash shared by Philo and Qumranists, p. 20) while it may at times indeed be the case (see especially his discussion on the call to worship God alone attested to by Jesus' sayings in the Gospel tradition and the Temple benediction, pp. …

Plano is a suburb just north of Dallas, Texas. It is a great place to live and raise a family. The school district offers some of the best education in the nation. You can shop until you drop, eat like a king, and share great times with friends and family at the Shops at Legacy, Willow Bend Mall, or in quaint, old-fashioned, downtown Plano. You can find everything from a small pizzeria to a high-end steakhouse, such Bob's Steak and Chop House. Make sure to check out Central Market for fresh fruits and vegetables after you've settled into your apartment in Plano. You are likely to see a cooking demonstration, and the place is a foodie's dream.
The city is on the DART rail and downtown Dallas is just a DART rail ride away. There are a number of major employers in the city, including the headquarters for JC Penney, Frito-Lay, and Dr. Pepper.
The city is or has been home to many well-known people, including Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin, golfer Fred Couples, former Dallas Cowboy Deion Sanders, and actor Chace Crawford.
Plano hosts the largest annual balloon festival in Texas. It is a three-day event and includes an evening balloon glow, fireworks, skydivers, and a concert. You even have the opportunity to ride in a hot air balloon, which can be an experience of a lifetime.
The weather is moderate, although you will experience some freezing weather in the winter and summer days can be very hot. If you are interested in getting in getting in touch with Mother Nature while enjoying some exercise, check out the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. It's a 200-acre park with over two miles of paved walking trails.
Go ahead and start looking at apartments in Plano — it is a place you'll love to call home!

When Correspondence Wanes
While the subject of personal correspondence is pervaded by practical and theoretical difficulties, aspects of the exchange of letters that are especially difficult to conceptualize are the subjects of this chapter: the waning and termination of an exchange of letters between individuals and, relatedly, the fate of their letters thereafter. These are matters that have been almost wholly neglected in the near-century of scholarly attention, from Thomas and Znaniecki to the present, given to the correspondence of immigrants with their homelands. The problems involved are wide-ranging, from understanding who undertakes the writing of letters, and why they do so and then cease doing so, to analyzing how letters are saved and come to interface with both popular conceptions of the past and ultimately even the formal discourses of academic History. They frequently appear, as do so many other conceptual problems in the interpretation of correspondence, as puzzles in which gaps and absences have to be explained.
Three of the principal issues that must be considered make this clear. First, collections of archived letter-series are artifacts of an obscure and highly individualized process of saving, collection, and donation. We seldom know how or why these collections were brought together, and to this extent we cannot know how complete they are. Who brought the letter-series together for donation? What were their motives in doing so? What editorial prerogatives might they have exercised? Second, while in some cases it is clear why a correspondence ends—because, for example, of the death of one of the parties, or because families are reunited and no longer have to depend on letters for communication— in most cases the circumstances are obscure, and ultimately seem unknowable. Do the correspondents actually stop writing, or have later letters been lost, or perhaps purposely culled to destroy the embarrassing record of, for example, some conflict that alienated individuals and irreparably divided families and friends? Third, the end of a particular

Philippi, WV -- Citizens in the City of Philippi, Barbour County, will get a 10 percent discount on most National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policies. Philippi residents are eligible for these savings thanks to the voluntary efforts undertaken by community officials to exceed the minimum standards of the NFIP. This discount will be applied to eligible new or renewed policies after May 1, 2003.
Charleston, WV -- The figures are remarkable. In the last quarter-century, more than 17,000 West Virginians with flood insurance have received more than $1.6 billion in loss payments. In the last fiscal year alone, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) paid out 595 claims to state policyholders to the tune of $5.5 million. And now, water-logged state residents with and without flood insurance are faced with an enormous new set of rebuilding and repairing costs after the double-deluge of torrential rainfall, and snow and ice associated with the winter storms.
Charleston, WV -- More than $11.4 million dollars is being processed for payment to eligible applicants to reimburse costs of Public Assistance (PA) and provide Individual Assistance (IA) to West Virginians as a result of the Feb. 16 storm according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and West Virginia Office of Emergency Services (WVOES) officials. Financial assistance in the amount of $6,519,037 has been obligated to repair or replace disaster-damaged public facilities through FEMA's PA program.

Building A GM Performance LSX Engine- The New RodentWritten by on August 11, 2008 Building A 427-Inch, 550-Horse LSX Engine From The GM Performance Parts Catalog
The terms Rat and Mouse have been used by enthusiasts to refer to Chevy's big- and small-block engines for decades. But, there is growing use of GM's LS engine family in the rodding world, and that brings with it a conundrum: What's the appropriate rodent reference?
As we'll illustrate in this story, the LS engine is capable of producing big-block-style displacement and power in a small-block-sized package. It seems like something larger than a mouse yet smaller than a rat fits the bill, so how about "squirrel" or "marmot"? Nah, doesn't fit. "Nutria?" No, that's no good, either.
Nickname notwithstanding, the LS platform has much to offer for street rod builders. It's a compact, minimalist design that is relatively easy to package, and, with the variety of factory-style aluminum heads, composite intakes, and the like, it's not an anchor over the front wheels, either. Oh, and it has tremendous performance potential.
Last year, General Motors' Performance Parts introduced the LSX cylinder block, which offered a cake-and-eat-it-too proposition-entry-level pricing with competition-level durability. Pro Stock drag racing legend Warren Johnson had a hand in its design, which is targeted at supporting as much as 2,000 hp and very high boost in racing applications. So, a 500hp street engine ought to be a cinch, right?
That's what we hoped to prove with this story. We turned to the LS experts at Thomson Automotive, near Detroit in Redford, Michigan, and GM Performance Parts (GMPP), who were all too eager to participate in a buildup with the new LSX block. Truth be known, GMPP has turned to Thomson Automotive on occasion to help with development work on high-performance and racing variants of the LS engine family, and Performance Parts sent its own Thomas Bates to help with the buildup. We were in good hands with the project.
LSX FoundationThe LSX cylinder block's sub-$2,000 retail price makes it a very affordable foundation for a high-performance engine, and the LSX is made of cast iron rather than aluminum, unlike many other LS production cylinder blocks. Sure, that's inherently heavier than aluminum, but that shouldn't be of great concern, as other components, such as the heads and intake manifold, are lightweight aluminum parts, themselves. Bonus points for the iron casting include exceptional strength and affordability.
Our project engine combined the LSX block-machined to 427 ci-and a raft of LS7 parts from the GMPP catalog. Indeed, almost every component used on our project engine is available from GMPP or GM Parts, including the racing-derived, high-flow aluminum heads, intake manifold, camshaft, and more. The 427-inch displacement enabled the use of GM's newly available LS7 controller, which allowed the engine to start up on the dyno with no separate tuning. The controller was simply plugged into the engine's wiring harness, and the engine was idling smoothly from the first push of the starter button.
While we were hoping for a nice, round 500hp result, the engine combination produced 550 hp and 511 lb-ft of torque on Thomson's engine dyno. This engine combination responds well and is easily converted to carburetion (see sidebar for more information). Most surprising, however, was the ease at which the engine got up and running. By using the GMPP controller, which was pre-programmed with the maps to sustain the 427-inch engine, there was little to do between start-up and the dyno pulls besides let the engine oil come up to temperature, and no timing adjustments, fuel adjustments, or other tuning were required. It was almost too easy.
Driveability with the production-style EFI system is as smooth and linear as you'd expect from a combination using mostly regular-production components. The idle quality and throttle response are excellent thanks to the LS7 controller, and there are no "dead" spots in the power curve, either; the engine simply keeps building power past 6,000 rpm.
Installation And Transmission ConsiderationsWith 550 hp on tap and the torque output of a healthy big-block from the bygone musclecar days, there are numerous implications for installing this engine in a street rod, be it a lightweight, fenderless Deuce or a full-fendered sedan from the late 1940s.
Fitting the relatively compact engine on a chassis isn't so hard, but some adaptation will be required to use an electronic throttle. The alternative is replacing the electronic version with a conventional, cable-operated throttle.
Also, it will be necessary to beef up the drivetrain in order to efficiently absorb all that torque, so that means backing the engine with a stout transmission. A properly built Turbo 400 will do the trick, but we like the idea of GM's late-model 4L60 and 4L80 electronically controlled overdrive transmissions. The 4L80 is the reincarnation of the original Turbo 400, while the 4L60 is based on the lighter-duty 700-R4.
The advantages of the late-model transmissions include the fuel economy benefits of an overdrive gear and the modulated performance of electronically controlled torque converter lockup. Like the engine, these transmissions require a controller, and, as luck would have it, they're also available from GM Performance Parts. An adapter will be needed to convert the transmission's electronic signal to be used by a mechanical speedometer, and TCI Automotive and other aftermarket manufacturers offer such speedo control units.
The engine's fuel-injected driveability and the overdrive transmission's economy make for a great long-haul, worry-free combination. There are no timing or carb-jetting adjustments to worry about, especially on long tours and varied altitudes, so the crispness of the performance is outstanding.
Ballpark Cost If you're wondering about a ballpark price for duplicating this LSX engine, it is roughly $12,000 in the form you see on our pages. And, unless you have a machine shop in your backyard, you'll need to tack on a few hundred bucks for the finish work on the block, since GMPP delivers the LSX block rough-bored.
We'd likely spend a few more bucks dressing up the engine, compared to the as-built condition seen in this story. First, we'd find some snazzier valve covers and a coil pack relocation kit. The valve covers are available from a variety of manufacturers, but we're keen on MSD's coil-relocation brackets, which move the coils to the rear of the engine for a more traditional look. We've also seen the plastic, factory intake manifold painted, and that would be next on our to-do list; painting it to match the car's body color or the same Chevy Orange as the cylinder block are a couple of easy ideas.
Personalization and dress-up costs notwithstanding, the word "value" is not out of place when describing it-especially when considering its performance. And, speaking of descriptions, we've gotten to the end of the story without a suitable rodent reference. Chipmunk? Guinea Pig? No ... too cute. We can't envision a dark shades-wearing rodder rumbling up at cruise night and answering, "It's a blown, alcohol-swilling Hamster motor" when asked what's under the hood.
Maybe we should just call it the LSX and leave it at that.
Dyno DetailsHere are the results of the LSX 427 engine on the SuperFlow dynamometer (STP correction) performed at Thomson Automotive. Peak numbers are in bold.
Converting To CarburetionOur project engine used the fuel-injection setup from the LS7 engine, but it is very easy to build the engine with a carburetor. This allows for a more traditional underhood appearance, while also easing the installation procedure in a street rod. This is because a traditional throttle cable and accelerator pedal can be used, and no provisions for the LS7's high-pressure fuel system are required-although a remote-mounted fuel pump is needed, as there is no provision for a block-mounted pump.
Intake manifolds to fit the different styles of LS cylinder heads, round port and rectangular port, are readily available in the aftermarket and from GM Performance Parts. In fact, GMPP offers intakes for the LS7 heads in both a conventional single-plane style and a version with cast-in bosses for throttle-body-type EFI or nitrous.
In addition to the intake and carb, converting an LS engine to carburetion also requires an ignition control box, because there is no distributor used with the engine. The good thing about that is timing is instantly set when the engine is turned on once the ignition coils are mated with the spark box, so your timing light is not needed.
The final consideration for carbing an LS engine is performance. Careful tuning with the correctly selected intake and carb can return greater horsepower than a comparable fuel-injection system.

The starting point for the project was the LSX iron cylinder block (PN 19166454), which can be had in most places for less than $2,000. It is based on the Gen IV LS engine design but with provisions for six-bolt cylinder heads, and the Chevy Orange paint is standard, too.The LSX block is delivered in semi-finished form, meaning it must visit the local machine shop for finish work before the engine buildup starts. Ours was taken to Thomson Automotive, where the bores were finished to 4.125 inches with torque plates clamped to the decks.When it came time to start assembling the engine, the wrench-turning was handled by GM Performance Parts' Thomas Bates, who started by inserting the camshaft. We used an LS7 cam (PN 12571251), which has 0.591-inch lift on both sides and 211/230 duration specs.An LS7 forged steel crankshaft (PN 12568820) came next. It delivers a 4.000-inch stroke, which combined with the 4.125-inch bores, gives the engine its 427ci displacement.One of the assembly details new LS engine-builders will have to get used to is torque-to-yield fasteners. These are one-time-use bolts that, in addition to a traditional torque wrench, also require a torque-angle meter to achieve the correct final-torque spec.Look closely at the digital readout on the Snap-on torque wrench and you'll see the 18-degree setting that denotes the torque yield used to securely fasten the gerotor-type oil pump (PN 17801830) to the front of the cylinder block.One of the toughest jobs of an LS engine assembly is installing the damper (PN 12576652), which is a super-tight fit. We used a tool designed by Thomson Automotive. GM also has a tool for the procedure.Next up was the assembly of the rods and pistons. We used the cast LS7 pistons (PN 89018171) and the exotic, super-lightweight forged titanium LS7 rods (PN 12586258).
ike so many other fasteners on the engine, the rod bolts are torque-to-yield. Bates snugged them down and checked the clearance between them all.With the rods secured, the windage tray was set in place, but we didn't simply torque it down and move on to the next assembly step.The rod ends will likely interfere with the windage tray on LS engines with more than a 4.000-inch-or-greater stroke. Bates checked this by carefully rotating the crankshaft and noting whether the rods hit the tray, which they did.The solution to the rod/windage tray interference problem was adding washers to the attachment studs to serve as spacers. It was all that was necessary to provide adequate clearance.The oil pump pick-up was next. It is important to get some oil into the pick-up at this stage of the build, because the engine can't be primed via a distributor hole like classic small- and big-block engines.We installed an F-car oil pan (PN 12558762), since it is the most "universal" of the various LS-engine production pans. In other words, it's the one that will retro-fit into an older car with the least amount of hassle.With the short-block assembled, the heads came next. Here, Bates dropped in one of the LS7 aluminum heads.The LS7 heads are masters of airflow, CNC-ported at the factory and flow approximately 350 cfm through 270cc intake ports. The intake valves are titanium and are 2.20 inches in diameter, while the 1.61-inch exhaust valves are sodium-filled. They're all held at a 12-degree angle.
The lifters on all other LS engines can be dropped in lifter guides that install two at a time. The provisions for extra head bolts on the LSX block, however, make that impossible; so, they're carefully inserted one at a time and held in place with LSX-specific guides that come with the cylinder block.Offset intake valves are one of the unique features of the LS7 heads, necessitating correspondingly offset rocker arms, one of which is shown being installed here. Both the intake and exhaust ratios are 1.8:1.Bates took credit for pushing through the LS7 intake assembly (PN 12568976), coming pre-installed with the throttle body, fuel injectors, and fuel rails. It makes topping off the engine a much easier, quicker job.Surprisingly, the LS7 coil packs don't come as an assembly, even though that's how they installed on the engine. The individual coils and mounting bracket must be purchased separately, and they attach to factory-style valve covers, but aftermarket kits permit remote mounting for a cleaner, more traditional look.One of the key enablers to making our engine project a turnkey affair was the use of GMPP's new, stand-alone LS7 controller (PN 19166567). It allowed the engine's wiring harness to simply plug into this ECM, and-bingo-the engine was timed and tuned from the get-go. It could not have been easier to get the engine up and running.Here's our finished LSX 427 engine. The Chevy Orange block color is how it comes from the factory, which looks great with the contrast from the aluminum heads. We'd paint that plain-black intake quickly, though.Our LSX 427 kicked out an impressive 550 hp and 511 lb-ft of torque (STP correction) on the SuperFlow dyno at Thomson Automotive. This was with no tuning or external adjustment; the LS7 controller was simply plugged in, and the engine was run on its pre-programmed tune. We were thrilled with the results, as the performance was achieved with off-the-shelf catalog parts and a by-the-numbers assembly.
With careful tuning, a carbureted LS engine can make more power than a fuel-injected version. The LS7 heads, for example, offer exceptional flow, so a high-cfm carb is a must.
