Upon close inspection of the Univese 2.0 Tankor toy, one will find that its head is on a ball joint. The figure as-is out of the package exhibits very limited head movement, but this tutorial will help fix this. Read on!
The first step is to disassemble and remove the head. In order to do this, three screws must be taken out of the body. Refer to the photos for those. (Note that prime13 removed the arms simply to illustrate this tutorial better in his photos. They are on ball joints, so if you need to pop 'em off, you can pop 'em right back on if you need to.)
Once this is done, some trimming to the bottom of the back piece is needed. This can easily be done with a pair of small wire cutters. After the trimming is finished, simply reassemble the figure. Viola! Now your Universe 2.0 Tankor can move his head!
Special thanks to prime13 for contributing this fix here!

Japanese Taupe Quilt Blocks,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Japanese Taupe Quilt Blocks: Calm, Neutral Collection (Paperback)
An excellent introduction to the use of this colour palette, and a reminder of how beautiful as well as comforting these understated colours can be. There are templates and instructions for over 100 blocks, and a number of very useable smaller projects along the way.
I was very pleased with this book, and I plan to make one or two of the smaller projects before embarking on a quilt. Another excellent book from Sue Briscoe.

Because of the whole "writing about wooing her little sister like a sexual predator, etc..." thing, you'd think that Lena Dunham would appreciate someone selling disturbing shit as entertainment, but nope! The Taylor Swift squad member watched Kanye West's creepy naked wax figure sleep study video for "Famous," and she too wanted to scream for a priest to exorcise the memory of watching it out of her brain. Lena said in a Facebook post that it's "one of the most disturbing artistic effort in recent memory," and when Lena Dunham is grossed out by some shit….
Lena writes that in the wake of the Stanford rapist getting a slap on the wrist and the Bill Cosby situation, it sickened her seeing, "waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they've been drugged and chucked aside at a rager." Lena says she's into art that weirds you out, but she says Kanye's brain bleach-needing art felt "different" to her and thinks that besides hurting the retinas of those who watched it, it's hurting women.
I'm sure that Bill Cosby doll being in the bed alongside Donald Trump is some kind of statement, that I'm probably being trolled on a super high level. I know that there's a hipper or cooler reaction to have than the one I'm currently having. But guess what? I don't have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn't look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films. I hesitated a lot about saying anything cuz I figured the thinkpieces would come pouring in. But I didn't see this angle being explored as much as I had hoped. It's weird to feel like you're watching alone. I bet I'm not.
Here's the thing, Kanye: you're cool. Make a statement on fame and privacy and the Illuminati or whatever is on your mind! But I can't watch it, don't want to watch it, if it feels informed and inspired by the aspects of our culture that make women feel unsafe even in their own beds, in their own bodies.
Oh, and Lena opened her piece by sticking her tongue way up Kanye and the Kardashians' b-holes:
Like many pop culture addicted Americans, I wait with bated breath for what Kanye West will do next. Aside from his Twitter mayhem, he has created some really "next level shit" as the kids would say. I could also happily watch Kim Kardashian West chip the paint off a window ledge for hours and be fascinated. I admire that whole family, love the way they depict women as better in numbers and masters of their own destiny. I'd spend all summer at Kamp Kardashian.
You can read Lena's entire piece here, but if you're like me, she'll probably lose you after admitting that she'd love to watch Kim chip off the bronze-tinted wax from Khloe's silicone-filled window ledge ass. That's what she meant, right?

I am all for ToTay's shameless world PR tour as long as they keep bringing that hot piece bodyguard (at least I think that's a bodyguard) with them…
It's been a little less than two weeks since
the start date of Taylor and Tom's contract Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston's authentic love grew on a rock in Rhode Island and since then, they have moved faster than two U-Haul lesbians on speed. They went from Rhode Island to NYC to Nashville where Tom dad danced at a Selena Gomez concert and met Tay Tay's parents. From Nashville, they took their "We're Really, Really In Love" tour international when they visited Tom's mom in England and Taylor's stylist did her up in "old-fashioned English country girl" drag for a completely and private walk with his family and a dozen or so paparazzi on Covehithe Beach (see: the spontaneous and organic pictures below). And now they're in Italy…. To Rome with UGH!
Taylor and Tom strolled through the Colosseum in Rome today, and she must've graciously let the paparazzi have the day off, because it was her fans who took pictures of them and posted that mess on Twitter and Instagram. They probably ended their day at a studio where they practiced riding a Vespa for their Roman Holiday-themed photo shoot for the paps tomorrow.
So, since they've met each other's parents and are in Europe now, I fully expect them to elope in an extremely private ceremony in front of the Eiffel Tower at 11 in the morning on Wednesday. Their honeymoon in Bora Bora will be live-streamed on the Jumbotron in Times Square on Friday and they'll show off the Baby Alive doll they adopted together outside of St. Mary's Hospital in London on Sunday. They'll be divorced a week from today and Tay Tay will get custody of their Baby Alive doll.
But seriously, ToTay is looking so damn fake that it almost defeats the purpose of a PR relationship. Maybe this is one big performance art piece and Taylor's artistic commentary on how her relationships are perceived by the media. Naw, I'm giving her ass too much credit.

If I were Chris Brown and just found out I was in trouble with Suge Knight, I'd be making the same "You in danger, self" look too. Because if there's ever been a person you don't want to piss off, it's Suge Knight.
Page Six says that Suge Knight has filed a lawsuit against Chris Brown and nightclub 1OAK regarding Brown's disastrous pre-MTV VMAs party at 1OAK back in 2014. The messiness started when someone tried to take out Chris Brown and ended up shooting Suge Knight seven times instead. Three others were shot and one ended up in critical condition. Two years later, and Suge is allegedly still feeling the aftermath of that shooting. According to the lawsuit, Suge claims to have ongoing complications, including a blood clot, from being shot in his chest, arm, and abdomen at Chris' party. Um, are we sure that blood clot is from a bullet that was shot during Chris Brown's party and not one of the millions of other times Suge Knight has been shot?
The lawsuit also claims that the shooting is the reason why Suge fled the scene after running over a man with his car during the filming of Straight Outta Compton. Suge was allegedly still shook up from the shooting five months earlier and fled because he was "afraid for his life." The man Suge hit later died. Suge is still in jail awaiting trial.
Suge also slaps at 1OAK for not taking the proper precautions on the night of the shooting, like recognizing that Chris Brown has a history of throwing parties that have ended with people getting hurt. Suge also alleges that Chris Brown has ties to gang members.
Suge doesn't specify how much cash he wants from Chris Brown and 1OAK. But the lawsuit does claim he wants them to pay for his past and future medical bills. Suge Knight tried to sue Kanye West back in 2005 for the same reason (i.e. he got shot at a party thrown by Kanye in Miami), but Page Six says he lost that one. Apparently Kanye wasn't legally responsible because you can't predict a shooting, Miss Cleo-style.
As for Chris Brown, this actually isn't the first time today someone is reminding us that Chris Brown is a magnet for violence. Last week, Chris Brown's former manager Mike G filed a lawsuit against him. Mike G accused Chris of beating on him. Several sources connected to Chris Brown's tour are adding more to that story. TMZ says that Chris Brown's former tour manager, Nancy Gosh, claims that shortly after Chris came for Mike G last month, he cornered her on his tour bus and launched into a "threatening, drug-fueled tirade." Working for Chris Brown is the definition of "I don't get paid enough for this shit," so it's not exactly a surprise that Nancy quit on the spot. The next day she contacted Chris Brown's team and explained that she didn't feel safe, especially since he allegedly threatened to do "what he did to Mike G" to her. Unlike Mike G, Nancy isn't suing Chris Brown. Probably because no amount of lawsuit cash can compete with the soul-lifting feeling of knowing you don't work for Chris Brown anymore.
TMZ says a production manager also complained about Chris Brown's verbal threats and abuse. So far, Chris Brown's people haven't really said anything about this. This would usually be where Chris Brown would respond to the allegations by posting a cracked-out Instagram video, but he hasn't done that yet. Ironically, he recently deleted the one he posted in response to Mike G. Maybe he's finally learned that it's kind of a waste of his time to make those videos. I mean, as long as there's Chris Brown, there's always going to be someone accusing Chris Brown of being Chris Brown.

Ever since I watched a drunk chick artfully barf into a champagne flute during the brunch buffet at The Mirage, I've known that one of my favorite cities Las Vegas is the country's epicenter of pure class. So the demure butterfly we all know as Mimi chose the perfect ensemble to wear during a night out in the class capital of America.
Mimi did herself up like the day-shift headliner of a truck stop strip club on the outskirts of Laughlin, NV to make her DJ debut at 1OAK. The thought of Mimi DJ'ing made me laugh, because I pictured her lounging on a velvet settee in front of a laptop and making her minion push the buttons for her as she sipped on pink champagne. But DJ Hello Titties actually stood up and wore headphones and everything! DJ Wonky McValtrex, who?!
But back to that stunning outfit… Jazz dancer tights + fishnets + garter belts = CLASSY OVERLOAD. Mimi outdid herself in the elegance department. She looks like the Cowardly Lion in Vanity cosplay and that is the look of all looks. And Mimi brought a double dose of glamour to 1OAK on Saturday night, because that manager everyone hates escorted her while looking like a Pussycat Doll who was fired from the group due to Nicole Scherzinger's jealousy!

It was only a matter of time before someone asked Winona Ryder to spill out her thoughts about Amber Heard accusing Johnny Depp of abuse. Johnny Depp's first wife Lori Ann Allison and Sherilyn Fenn both took a spot on Team Scarves. Vanessa Paradis also defended Johnny hard by saying that he never got violent with her and the allegations are "outrageous." Winona was talking to Time about her new Netflix show Stranger Things when she asked about her ex's alleged lady beating ways. Winona's publicist either was not there or was taking a piss break, because they probably would've tackled her and put their hands over her mouth as soon as Johnny's name was brought up.
Winona and Johnny (seen above joining her at a premiere after working a shift at the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland) were together from 1989 to 1993. Wino Forever told Time that she's never known him to be violent, but made it clear that she can only speak from her own experiences with him. She said several times that he was always sweet around her and also let it be perfectly known that she's not calling Amber Heard a liar. Winona slipped on a pair of cotton white gloves and handled the question very, very delicately:
Look, I mean, obviously I can only speak from my own experience. It's very tricky because if it were any other type of scandal, like cheating, you could be like, 'None of my business. No comment. Not appropriate for me.' But I think because what is being said is so horrific and such a global issue for millions of women, obviously, that I understand why people feel it is their business. I get it. And I get why you would ask.
I can only speak from my own experience, which was wildly different than what is being said. I mean, he was never, never that way towards me. Never abusive at all towards me. I only know him as a really good, loving, caring guy who is very, very protective of the people that he loves. It's hard because I feel like—that's my experience. And it's been a very long time.
At this point, it sounds like Winona got a major case of the nerves, because she went into RamblesVille and continued to nail in the points that she's never heard of him being violent and that she's not brushing off Amber's allegations as lies:
I don't know how you feel about it, but it's like anybody who says anything about it is a victim-blamer. I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. I'm not calling anyone a liar. I'm just saying, it's difficult and upsetting for me to wrap my head around it. Look, it was a long time ago, but we were together for four years, and it was a big relationship for me. And we have a lot of mutual friends. I just never heard anything like that about him. But, again, I feel like even saying that, I'm going to get death threats or something. I'm not on social media, so maybe I will be spared.
But yes, it's really hard. I don't know what your love history is, but imagine someone you were in a relationship with was accused of this. I get that there are patterns of abuse. I get why you're asking me. But it's weird because imagine if someone you dated when you were—I was 17 when I met him—was accused of that. It's just shocking. I have never seen him be violent toward a person before.
And she ended by saying for the 976th time that she is only speaking from her time with Johnny, which happened a zillion years ago:
It's just hard to picture. The only word I can come up with is unimaginable. You know with certain people you hear something and go, "I can see that." But this isn't that. So anyway this is the first time I've said anything so I don't know. I can only offer my own experience. It's such a serious, horrible thing to be accused of.
It's almost as if your brother or someone you just never—so, you know, there's a part of me that is thinking, 'Is it even appropriate for me to say anything?' But because of the seriousness of it, it's been brought into a thing where it's trickier for me to say, 'None of my business.' But that's all I have to offer is my own experience, which was a very, very long time ago.
I bet that after this interview, Winona checked into a spa for exhaustion and dehydration, because it sounds like answering that question wore her out. And now that we've heard from Winona, it's Kate Moss' turn.
Johnny was arrested for reportedly trashing a hotel room during a fight with Kate, so I'm sure she's been asked. And since I'm pretty sure Kate Moss has spoken a total of 14 words in her whole life, she probably answered the Kate Moss way by flipping the reporter off.

Don't panic. Members of congress didn't unanimously vote to criminalize swearing in the United States while you were busy couch napping this weekend. And thank god, because if swearing was illegal, I'd probably end up serving 16 consecutive life sentences for the nastiness that comes out of my toilet mouth. This actually happened at an event in St. Kitts in the Caribbean, and it was all because 50 Cent said the word "motherfucker."
According to TMZ, 50 Cent was booked to host an event in St. Kitts on Saturday night. 50 Cent's rep claims he was only scheduled to host, but he ended up performing "P.I.M.P." Sources say he was warned ahead of time not to cuss, because certain swear words are illegal there (Ned Flanders is totally booking his next vacation in St. Kitts). But as you can see, 50 Cent clearly forgot about that whole "no swearing" thing.
One of the 40,000 people in attendance must not have appreciated 50 Cent's repeated use of the word "motherfucker", because the police were waiting for him after the show. 50 was arrested, taken to the police station, and booked for using profanity in public. He has since paid a fine and has returned home. His rep released a statement saying that the concert was a success, and adds that the next time 50 Cent goes to St. Kitts, he'll "leave the motherfuckers in the United States."
50 Cent is as good at staying out of legal trouble as he is at not being an asshole, apparently. Honestly, how difficult would it have been to not say motherfucker? Motherfucker turns into anything. Mother father. Muppet fluffer. Mustard brother. Macaroni. Monday Friday. Obviously none of those make any mother fucking sense. But if it came down to saying "motherfucker" or spending time in a Caribbean jail cell, my vote is singing about a mustard brother.

Approximately 35 milliseconds after Madge warbled out her tribute to Prince while dressed like Willy Wonka Goes To The Bordello at the Billboard Music Awards last month, BET released a shady tweet where they declared in so many words that their tribute to Prince would be better. They tweeted, "Yeah, we saw that. Don't worry. We got you." When they said, "We got you," they must have meant that they were going to cover our eyeballs and fill our ear holes with so much Prince that we'd find ourselves shitting purple glitter afterward.
There were several Prince tributes during the BET Awards and everyone from Jennifer Hudson to Stevie Wonder to Janelle Monae to Erykah Badu to The Roots partook in one. You can watch all of the tributes here. But the biggest one came from one of Prince's muses and collaborators Sheila E. While dressed like a member of a cult led by Mr. T, Sheila E. closed the BET Awards with a medley of The Purple One's hits. Sheila E. drummed! Sheila E. danced! Sheila E. sang! And she did it all barefoot!
Sheila E. worked it so damn hard and sweat so much that I expected her to melt into a puddle on stage. I think I burned at least 1,000 calories just from watching her. The video of Sheila E.'s Prince tribute (with cameos from Mayte Garcia, Jerome Benton and a special purple guitar) auto-plays, so it's after the cut.
Now THAT was a tribute, but I still have to give it only four-and-a-half Puckering Princes:
It would've gotten a perfect five Puckering Princes if Diamond and Pearl made an appearance! On the other side of the tribute coin, host Anthony Anderson served up one of the worst Prince tributes by doing this:
What in the hell kind of GD half-assed Prince tribute is that? You aren't honoring Prince's ass-less chaps unless you show crack! How offensive. With that being said, I'm wondering if those pants come in my size, because I need something conservative to wear the next time I have to go to church.

During a recent Lenny Letter essay titled Time to Uncover, Alicia Keys wrote about how she was taking a break from makeup because she didn't "want to cover up anymore." Alicia is clearly very serious about the whole #nomakeup thing, because last night she sashayed onto the red carpet of the BET Awards in a face covered in nothing.
Alicia is one of the very lucky few who can do #nomakeup and still look like a human person. Her skin/eyes/mouth/eyebrows all look like what they're supposed to. When I do no makeup, I look like something from a remake of Eraserhead by Harmony Korine. My mouth looks like a Biggest Loser before-and after of an awkward pink slug. My eyes like two puffy slits with creepy little see-through lashes. The two patchy hairlike skidmarks above my eyes that can barely be classified as eyebrows (my eyebrows truly bring shame to the Dlisted family). So, good for you for going without makeup, Alicia. And if she really wants to make it a permanent thing, I would volunteer to take any and all makeup she decides to get rid of. I very clearly need it.
Alicia also carried the low-maintenance theme into her ensemble as well.
That satin jumpsuit/head wrap combo would look like "Please have a seat and we'll begin your hair cut" on most people. That's not to say it looks great on Alicia Keys; that outfit is pretty busted. But she's sort of pulling it off. She looks like a medium who communicates with ghosts through sensual slow jams and gets paid in pink champagne.
Aside from Alicia, there were many many other fancy dressed people at the BET Awards. And of course, just like every other red carpet of the past two years, there was so much goddamn see-through fabric and visible panties. However, one look in particular stood out for me, and that was the dress worn by Tinashe:
After seeing so many pairs of satin granny panties, it's really refreshing to see someone embrace their inner ho and pair a crotch-high slit with a classic mid-rise thong. Thank you for your bravery and subtle trampiness, Tinashe.
Here's more fashion and style from last night. Shout out to Tracee Ellis Ross for working some of that early 00's plastic "snakeskin" clubwear realness.

At last night's BET Awards, actor and noted hot piece Jesse Williams won the Humanitarian Award for his dedication to many important social issues including the Black Lives Matter movement. Jesse used his time at the mic to give a sermon about cultural appropriation, gentrification, fighting for equality and much more. The house came all the way down several times during Jesse's speech. If Samuel L. Jackson, who was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award last night, was wearing his signature Kangol hat, that shit would've flown right off of his head. Because Samuel L. Jackson said that Jesse's speech was something his ears haven't heard since the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The video of Jesse's full speech auto-plays, so I put it after the cut, but here's what he said at the end of his speech:
"We've been floating this country on credit for centuries, and we're done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil — black gold! — ghettoizing and demeaning our creations and stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.
Just because we're magic doesn't mean we're not real. Thank you."
Many were inspired by Jesse's words including Justin Timberlake who watched it and tweeted this simple slow clap:
@iJesseWilliams tho…#Inspired #BET2016
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 27, 2016
JT didn't leave it at that….. His mentions quickly filled up with people asking him if this means he's going to stop "appropriating our music and culture" and if he's going to apologize to Janet Jackson for pretty much throwing her nipple under the bus and letting her take the fall for the exposed Super Bowl titty knob that SHOCKED THE WORLD in 2004. Justin responded, and he served his response on a platter made of pure condescending assholeness:
Oh, you sweet soul. The more you realize that we are the same, the more we can have a conversation.
Bye. https://t.co/FeTmGLOKVc
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 27, 2016
Oh, that sweet soul Justin Timberlake, wasn't ready for what came next. Twitter didn't even let Justin protect his Keratin-straightened locks before dragging him to the depths of Hell and back again. I kept waiting for JT to tweet, "#NOTTHEHAIR! #NOTTHEHAIR!"
I feel misunderstood. I responded to a specific tweet that wasn't meant to be a general response. I shouldn't have responded anyway…
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 27, 2016
He then made it look like he didn't even listen to Jesse's speech by telling everyone to join hands and sing, "Kumbaya, my loooooooord," in falsetto:
I forget this forum sometimes… I was truly inspired by @iJesseWilliams speech because I really do feel that we are all one… A human race
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 27, 2016
That didn't really work and so he apologized before calling it a night.
I apologize to anyone that felt I was out of turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US.
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 27, 2016
I'm waiting for Orville Redenbacher to announce that we're officially in a popcorn drought because the country's entire supply was eaten during Twitter's dragging of Justin Timberpuddle. And none of that popcorn was eaten by Janet Jackson, because she and her right nipple were too busy cackling over this.
And back to Jesse, here's pictures of him, along with pictures of Samuel L. Jackson, at the BET Awards last night:

How soon is the roundabout at 27th Street Terrace and Louisiana going to be built and is the building of it contingent upon receiving state funds? How can people who live on Louisiana Street protest this? Will property be taken from nearby residents to build this? When roundabouts are built what happens when fire trucks try to navigate them, in terms of speed and efficiency in reaching their destination?
The city won't know until summer of 2001 if state funds will be available, said City Manager Mike Wildgen. Anyone can write the city commission and protest the concept. No design has been started so it is unknown if additional right-of-way is needed. The design of the improvement would allow for safe passage of emergency vehicles.

Michelina's Snails

Snails were on the ceiling, under the fridge, heading up the walls.

The 2012 NFL Draft featured a couple of big names. Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III took the majority of the spotlight which perhaps overshadowed just how strong this class really was.
Looking back at the season, there were many huge rookie performances on both sides of the football. There were players that had rookie-of-the-year caliber campaigns, but are not even being considered.
Not all of these players came early in the first round, though. We saw second and third round picks come up big for their respective teams and make a name for themselves early on.
If we had to do the Draft over again it would certainly look a lot different. That is exactly what we are doing here at Football Nation.
This article will look at each team's pick from this past April and then re-draft players based on team need and 2012 performance.

Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez and challenger Josh Thomson have been friends. They share a mutual respect for one another. And Melendez it looking at getting a second victory over Thomson so that they can stop keeping a professional distance from each other and possibly ramp their friendship back up.
But first, he's "gotta try and kill" Thomson, keeping the Strikeforce strap firmly around his waist. The two square off at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier on Saturday night in San Jose, Calif.
If he does get the better of Thomson again, what's next for Melendez? Are there more Strikeforce talents on the horizon? Is becoming the latest fighter to jump ship to the UFC a possibility?

We are just starting to plan a trip to Quebec City for about a week in early September. We may fly into Burlington VT and drive from there or fly right into Canada from Chicago. It looks like it is cheaper to go through VT, although we may be able to use some frequent flyer miles.
We plan to rent a car, not sure if that is an issue bringing it into Canada.
We would like to spend about 3 nights in Quebec City and spend the rest of the time in a more rural setting. We are in our 50s and like hiking, good restaurants, and nice accommodations. Not looking for a lot of shopping other than what we'll do in the city and we don't golf.
It looks like the Charlevoix region is closest to Quebec City, so if we fly in and out of there, that will probably be the "rural" part of the trip. Or, if we go in and out of VT, perhaps we'll spend a few days there instead.
We've never been to either place, so any advice is appreciated.

Hiking near Quebec City?
We are just starting to plan a trip to Quebec City for about a week in early September. We may fly into Burlington VT and drive from there or fly right into Canada from Chicago. It looks like it is cheaper to go through VT, although we may be able to use some frequent flyer miles.
Report Abuse
I should also mention that last year we flew to Halifax and toured Cape Breton Island which we loved. The year before, we went to Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper, which was also wonderful.
Report Abuse
We were in Charlevoix several years ago, and loved it. Althuogh we didn't hike, there are many hiking opportunities in this beautiful area. We did rent bikes and circumnavigate Ille Aux Caudres, which is flat and quite scenic. The Ille D'Orleans just outside of Quebec City is also very rural, but not known for hiking. Of course Vermont is also very beautiful, and there are tons of hiking trails in the Green Mountains just outside of Burlington. Either option is great. Just realize that in rural Quebec very little English is spoken.
In the Quebec City, stay in or near the old city, which is far more scenic and interesting than the rest of the city.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your reply. I hadn't thought about the language barrier in the rural areas. We read a bit about the Gaspe peninsula and that sounded magnificent but it's too far to drive from Quebec City for a one week trip.
In Quebec City, is it better to stay in the lower town or the upper? Or no difference as long as you visit both?
Report Abuse
You can easily stay in either the upper or the lower old town. It is easy to walk back and forth or take the funicular. You will want to visit sites in both areas.
You should have no trouble renting a car in Burlington and taking it into Canada. Many people fly into Burlington for trips to Montreal and Quebec City due to better prices.
Report Abuse
Quebec City's old city is fairly small, so either upper or lower is fine. With the upper, you get spectacular views, the lower is a bit less touristy. We usually stay at one of the b&b's on St. Ursule, which is in the upper.
Report Abuse
We decided to take advantage of the Fairmont's summer promotion (3rd night free) and stay at the Frontenac for 4 nights and then at the Fairmont Richilieu for 4 nights in the Charlevoix region. I'm assuming we won't need a car in Quebec City so we will just rent one for the second half of the trip.

World Bulletin / News Desk
The United States on Wednesday took steps to freeze the U.S. assetsof five key members of the Italian-based Camorra, also known as the Naples Mafia, and one of Europe's largest criminal groups involved in kidnapping, money laundering and extortion.
Americans and U.S. businesses are prohibited from doing business with the five blacklisted Camorra members, three of whom are serving life sentences for murder and conspiracy, the U.S. Treasury said in a statement on its website.
Treasury said the Camorra members on the blacklist included Mario Caterino, Giuseppe Dell'Aquila,Paolo di Mauro, Antonio Iovine and Michele Zagaria.
The Treasury would not comment on the amount of assets the group's members have under U.S. jurisdiction, but it said in the statement that today's action would help "cast an even larger net to expose their financial facilitators and associates, wherever they may operate."

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 10.23.12] apocalyptic scifi action drama experimental adventure dystopic
Editors Note: Also be sure to see rochefort's equally positive review from Fantastic Fest.
The moment I turned the final page on David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas," it was clear that the movie was going to be a precarious thing. Six stories spanning a millennia (maybe more, it's unclear how far in the future the final story takes place), some much more obviously connected than others, the book's nested approach to storytelling was as successful in realizing its central theme, we are all connected, as well if not better than any single story. How could something this vast and expansive be boiled down to its central theme without losing the power of each individual story? One only need look to Cloud Atlas for a response.
Adapted by the Wachowski's and Tom Tykwer, Cloud Atlas is not only a clear and concise (yes, it's nearly three hours long but it needs, deserves and makes excellent use of its entire running time) adaptation of Mitchell's novel but it's one of the exceptions to the rule that books are better than movies. Mitchell's novel is brilliant but it's also very dense. The language is occasionally difficult, the ideas not always obvious and though there's a feeling of satisfaction when the last page is turned, there's little joy in it. The movie is a different beast all together.
Taking a core group of actors, the Wachowski's and Tykwer manoeuvre their way through all six stories, from Adam Ewing's Pacific voyage in which he is saved from near death by a self-freed slave to the far future, long after the death of society as we know it, where Zachary, a young tribesman, fights real and perceived demons to help Meronym, a member of the last remnants of technologically advanced humans. On the surface, the connections aren't apparent but with each story, the filmmakers weave a tapestry of interconnected time and characters, a universe, our universe, where choices, actions and sacrifices ripple through time.
It's not a very complicated idea but with six stories, each one a mini-movie onto itself, Cloud Atlas could easily have turned into a confused mess of characters and messages, a bloated movie with more thoughts of grandeur than actual delivery, and yet Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece of movie editing. Not only does it tell all of the stories, each with its own arch and tie into the every other, but it does so without losing a beat. There isn't a dull moment in this movie which so richly develops each story and then intercuts it with every other. It really is a marvel of the editing bay but also of three filmmakers who have full and unwavering faith in their storytelling abilities that they mix, match and edit bits and pieces of each dialogue together in such a way that every story moves but also compliments another. It also shows faith in the audience, faith that we're intelligent enough not only to follow along but to discern the meaning of what we're seeing.
What's most impressive is that along the way, Cloud Atlas is also a comedy, a drama and a romance. It's a story about survival and sacrifice, of love and death and of consequences. It's not only the most ambitious movie to come out Hollywood in the last few years but also the most ambitious from a team of filmmakers known for pushing the envelope not just with the studios but with their fans. It's not too surprising that the Wachowski's have a hand in this, a movie that spans not only genres but time and philosophy. It shares many of the same ideas explored in The Matrix trilogy but it does so in one movie rather than three.
The intricacies of the individual stories are too numerous to speak of particularly after only one viewing but a few key stories are worth noting, namely Timothy Cavendish's unfortunate adventure which offers much of the movie's comedic moments in the classic British tradition (including Hugo Weaving in a particularly memorable role), Robert Frobisher's adventures as a struggling composer and Sonmi-451's awakening in dystopian Seoul.
Cloud Atlas is a sprawling canvas with a little something for everyone. It's one of these "everything is connected movies" that takes the idea and expands the concept beyond present events, bending time to explore everything from slavery to cloning and even reincarnation. It's an easy watch, a highly enjoyable bit of action adventure but those looking for a challenge will find more than enough fodder for dissection and discussion.
It's too early to call it a masterpiece and it may not be flashy enough to garner The Matrix levels of adoration but it is most certainly a must see. Whether audiences agree remains to be seen.
