It was discovered Tuesday that "Street Fighter IV" producer, Yoshinori Ono, has an unannounced game in development for the PlayStation 4.
Originally discovered on the gaming forum NeoGAF (and later reported by Dualshockers), Yoshinori Ono's LinkedIn profile was recently updated to include a new project he has in the works. Above his known work on "Ultra Street Fighter IV" and "Deep Down," Ono is credited as producer for an unnamed PS4 game set at a vague release date of 201X. Unfortunately, that's all the information available right now for the mysterious PS4 game Ono is presumably producing for Capcom. However, according to Dualshockers, Ono traveled to Honk Kong and China as research for an unnamed "next title." During his trip, Ono was accompanied by the Sony Computer Entertainment staff.
Considering Ono and the developers at Capcom are still hard at work on the free-to-play PS4 exclusive, "Deep Down," it may be a while before we officially hear what the unannounced PS4 game is. Although, there's always a possibility a clue could be given for this year's Tokyo Game Show.
Yesterday, Ono resigned from his position as director of Capcom Vancouver. Via Twitter, Ono explained his reason for stepping down. "I resigned from the director position about CAPCOM Vancouver. Thanks good staff of CAPCOM Vancouver, and Dead Rising staff!," Ono said. As some mistook Ono's resignation from Capcom Vancouver as a resignation from Capcom itself, Ono took to Twitter again to clarify his earlier statement. "My position within Capcom has not changed and I'm still involved in all of the projects that I'm currently working on. Only my role for Capcom Vancouver has ended."
Capcom Vancouver, formerly called Blue Castle Games, is the developer best known for "Dead Rising 2," Dead Rising 3," and the recently released Capcom-themed DLC' "Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha."

DIXON – A Lee County judge will rule Wednesday whether he will allow prior domestic battery convictions and video interviews with children to be presented in the trial of a Dixon man accused of causing his daughter's death.
Judge Ronald Jacobson heard arguments on several motions today.
Lee County State's Attorney Anna Sacco-Miller and Public Defender Bob Thompson addressed whether Charles T. George's prior domestic battery convictions and video interviews with two children living with George at the time of
Several motions in the case against a Dixon man accused of killing his daughter by shaking her were argued in Lee County court.
Charles T. George, 36, is charged with four counts of aggravated battery of a child, and one count of aggravated domestic battery of a child, stemming from the September 2010 death of his daughter, 3-month-old Tamari George.
A charge of first-degree murder against George was dropped May 5 because it had been added to his indictment more than 120 days after his original demand for a speedy trial, Lee County State's Attorney Anna Sacco-Miller said.
On Tuesday, Sacco-Miller and Public Defender Bob Thompson made their arguments to Judge Ronald Jacobson about whether George's prior domestic battery convictions and video interviews from two children living with George at the time of Tamari's death should be allowed to be presented during the trial, which could begin in 2 weeks.
This afternoon, Jacobson planned to review the 2010 taped interviews, which Sacco-Millers said include the children describing George hitting them.
Jacobson will make his ruling at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
The first domestic battery conviction dates back to 1998, and Thompson said that it and the others should be considered too remote to be allowed. Allowing those convictions to be discussed, Thompson said, would be prejudicial to the jury and remove the presumption of innocence.
Sacco-Miller argued that because the convictions included a jail term, it shortened the time George was living among the general population and able to commit domestic abuse. It also, she said, shows George's strength and motive and that the previous domestic abuse were the result of him angering quickly and being jealous.
Thompson argued that since the previous convictions weren't against children, there is less relevance.
The taped interviews were with two children, both 4 years old at the time, who were living with George and his girlfriend in 2010.
The interviews, done at Shining Star Children's Advocacy Center in Dixon by a trained child interviewer, could be used if the children are unable to testify in court, Sacco-Miller said, adding that one of the children has difficulty discussing the events of Tamari's death.
Thompson didn't argue against the video interviews, but did say he would be prepared to make an objection if it came to that during the trial.

Mark Stanfill is updating us on the status of the Inside SBS podcast. As you recall, they took a 2 week break during which we were lucky to get them to come on and talk a bit more about business with PSS than straight geeketry (yes, I'm making up words today). These podcasts are taped versions of the webcasts that were delivered with TS2 this week (who have the best webcasts at Microsoft, sorry Technet) so if you haven't seen the webcast perhaps you'll catch the podcast. And they show their faces, something I still can't get Susanne Dansey to do due to a multitude of excuses.

Water Cooler Topic #5:
Reggie Miller takes the mike
Reggie Miller joined TNT's NBA broadcasting crew for this season. The former Pacer is teaming up with the Steve Kerr/Marv Albert crew for nationally broadcasted games. Miller, who has had quite a few memorable sports TV moments of his own, retired last May.
Adam's take: You know who I feel bad for? Communications majors. What happened to all the guys and gals out of Newhouse in Syracuse who are trying to get these plum jobs? Now, it's only former players who refuse to get out of the spotlight. Come on Reggie, make room for the guys at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting. Besides, you have a face for radio.
Peter's take: C'mon... If the Lakers are a game out of the playoff chase come April, you're telling me Reggie's not coming out of retirement to play for his home team squad? I just think Reggie's too competitive to stay in the booth when he clearly has some good basketball legs left. I could be wrong, though. After all, Tim Legler's still at ESPN and we all know his phone must be ringing off the hook with inquiring general managers every day.
Water Cooler Topic #6:
Saw II is really cutting-edge
Saw II, the sequel to last year's film that grossed 100 times its budget, continues to score big at the box office this month. For the first time in 13 weeks, Hollywood saw profits increase in percentage sales, thanks in part to the $30.5-million opening weekend that the film took in over Halloween.
Adam's take: Nothing like a creative cop-out sequel to fix all that is ailing in Hollywood. If this current trend of uninteresting and unoriginal films continues, the Oscars are going to have to change the Best Picture category to the "Film That Was Most Worth $10.50" award. What Saw II lacks in coherent plot and sane logic, I am sure it more than makes up for with such profit-friendly concepts as blood, guts and random shots of female nudity. Let's put this trash where it really belongs... the summer movie season.
Peter's take: "The Saw," huh? Not sure who saw this one, but I'm stunned it beat out such mega-hits as Dreamer, The Weather Man and Prime at the box office. Slow year for movies, to say the least. Outside of Steve Carell's virginity, Hayden Christensen's bleeding heart and Chyna Doll's bedroom escapades, there's been no piece of cinema really worth getting into.
Peter Schrager recently graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, GA. He freelances for several publications including ESPN.com's Page 3. Peter enjoys eating Wheat Thins, drinking Unsweetened Iced Tea, and watching VH1 Classic.
Adam Weinberg is a freelance writer and screenwriter, and a recent graduate of the University of Maryland. He was once thrown out of a NHL game for throwing chapstick on the ice.

Still stumped on what to get your guy's guy for Christmas? Let him unwrap the Leather Head Handmade Football ($115) from Kaufmann Mercantile. It's gorgeously hand-crafted and designed to fit the hands of a regular man (as opposed to those big beefy paws of a pro player). But don't confuse "hand-crafted" with "delicate." This durable ball was made to be thrown. It'll even stand up to tackle football when your guy's pickup game of touch inevitably gets rough.

OAKLAND, CA; LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (August 23, 2012) - Undefeated WBA, WBC and RING super middleweight world champion Andre "SOG'' Ward(25-0, 13 KOs) and WBC and RING light heavyweight titleholder"Bad" Chad Dawson (31-1, 17 KOs) both held open media workouts this week from their respective training camps in Oakland, CA and Las Vegas, NV. Media attendees were given the opportunity to watch training and ask the fighters questions about their upcoming September 8 "WORLD CHAMPIONS-MADE IN AMERICA."
SPECIAL NOTE: Both fighters will participate in an international media conference call next Tuesday, September 28 starting at 3:00pm ET/Noon PT.
Andre Ward Media Day Quotes:
What's it like to fight back in Oakland?
"It's always great to be home. A lot of people think it's a given when you fight at home, like it's an easy thing, but it's not. There's a lot of pressure, but good pressure when you fight at home to defend the house. I consider Oracle Arena my house and the Bay Area as a whole my house. I'm doing what I always do and I'm preparing well and I want to put on a great show for the fans.
What motivates you as a champion?
"What motivates me is first and foremost, my understanding that God gave me a something. When God gives you a gift and a talent you can be whatever. I'm a natural competitor that loves to compete and I'm striving for greatness. I don't believe I'm there yet and I got a lot of work to do. God willing I have a few more years left in the game but I want to be great. And if one day I could be considered great, and have a hall of fame career, I want to look back and say it's a job well done."
What are your thoughts on fighting Chad Dawson?
"It's a tough fight for both men. Not just me dealing with Chad Dawson, but Chad Dawson dealing with me and vice versa. That's the beauty of the fight and it sells itself because you got two young guys who are well decorated in terms of our accomplishments, and we're literally putting it all on the line at the peak of our careers. I don't think anyone can ask for anything more than that."
Chad Dawson Media Day Quotes:
Chad Dawson Talks About Fighting Andre Ward
Can you tell us how you're feeling physically, spiritually and mentally with just a few weeks away?
"I'm in great spirits. The weight is coming off, as you can see I'm real slim (smiling). Mentally, physically everything is on point. I'm excited to be in a big fight like this. I'm excited that the fight is approaching fast. Everything is just great right now"
You've been in big fights before, is this fight with Andre Ward at the top?
"I would say this is at the top because the magnitude of the fight. You got two young guys, both champions in our divisions. The only difference is I'm going down to his division and challenging him for his title. I look at it like a big challenge for me due to the fact that I have to lose an extra seven pounds to get down to 168. So it's a challenge for me and it's a challenge I'm looking forward to. The weight is good and I left the gym yesterday weighing in at 176 pounds. I feel great."
Andre has been getting a lot of notoriety as being a pound for pound fighter, so how do you feel about fighting a guy like that?
"He's still just another fighter. I understand the fact that he won a gold medal and he has a great amateur background, but this is the pros. He's never been in there with a fighter like me. I don't care what the media says or what people say, he's never been in the ring with a fighter like me. On September 8th he's going to see something different in there, something he's never seen before."
"Ward vs. Dawson - World Champions - Made In America''
Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson World Championship showdown, set to take place September 8 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The co-feature will see WBC Champion Antonio DeMarco battle John "The Gladiator" Molina Jr. in a 12-round fight for the WBC Lightweight title.

I got ward. if dawson had the heart of his trainer scully I would pick chad. ward is busy,ward fights dirty if he has to,ward wont be dried out like dawson. dawson will not go to camp to get away from distractions because his girl says no.
Wow! SuperBad Chad is the most pu$$y-whipped champion prizefighter of our times. Dude's girl wears da drawers and he wears da panties. And those panties are probably PINK with a lot of lace on 'em! Hehehe! SOG is gonna scorched and torched SBC. Burn up those ___ ___ ___ ___! Haha! Holla!
Chad is 31-1 with his girl telling him what to do so he should stick to the stript. I can't wait to here the excuses as to why Ward loss but I ain't trying to here that B.S. Dawson is the better fighter and he will prove it Sep 8 mark my words.
The only excuser maker will be you, like always SCLA Ali. Holla!
I read an article where one journalist said that 24/7 is a bad investment for this fight because it will draw more viewers in to see a Dawson vs Hopkins type of fight.
and thus run more fans away from boxing.
Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Ward or Dawson could have scheduled lesser opponents...instead they both chose the riskiest fight possible for a bigger check and even bigger P4P bragging rights.
This is how boxers should behave and it keeps the sport alive.
Dawson is the stronger guy but Wards strength lies in his ability to capture offensive opportunities and take advantage of the moment... swiftly yet discretely.
And Dawson is a beast when his confidence level allows him to let his hands go.
Fighting a junior middleweight probably has Dawson feeling like King Kong right about now.
Give me Ward by uncharacteristic KO,.. not that Dawson is weak,.. but because the moment will be so great that each opponent will not be able to resist going for the Gold.
This is going to be something... mark my word...(sorry ali)
Ward has the chip on his shoulder and is ready to go. If dawson wins he gets alot of props no excuses.
The 24 7 was a good watch. Both cats seem stable and grounded... Appear to be good family men. Nice to see my boy Scully get his airtime too. Good dude right there.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Doctors remain "cautiously optimistic" that the former US president will make a full recovery from bronchitis.
22:10, UK, Monday 24 December 2012
Former US President George HW Bush will remain in hospital over Christmas after developing a fever last week.
This setback comes following his month-long inpatient treatment for a bronchitis-related cough.
His spokesman Jim McGrath said the senior Bush was weak and that doctors want to keep him in care despite being "cautiously optimistic" he would make a full recovery.
Mr McGrath said last week that the 88-year-old former commander-in-chief was on track to be released from the Houston facility after being admitted on November 23.
Mr Bush was also admitted with a cough for a week in early November.
Mr McGrath said Mr Bush had largely overcome the lingering bronchitis and that doctors were trying to balance his medications and help him regain strength.
The former president and his wife, Barbara, spend winters in Texas and summers at their home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Spam, Phishing, and Identity Theft
There is a constant stream of phishing scams sent to the Purchase College community. The ones that ask for your User-ID and Password are fairly obvious fakes, and most people recognize those. Other spammers are sneakier and harder to spot, and they depend on our inclination to follow specific instructions or harmless looking links that are sent to us.
If you respond to a phishing email and provide them with your Purchase College credentials - either by email reply or by clicking a link embedded in their email – then, even in the best case, your account is likely going to be used to spew even more spam. This often damages your online reputation – they may send spam to everyone in your contacts – and it also damages the College's online reputation. When your compromised account spews out hundreds of messages per minute, a monitoring script kicks in and suspends your account. Other email servers take note of this activity too – and often mark the Purchaser domino as untrustworthy, or blacklist our domain, rejecting all mail sent from purchase.edu – hampering our ability to communicate to the world.
If you give up your credentials you will be inconvenienced when your account is suspended, and you may miss important messages; CTS is inconvenienced as we spend time contacting other domains and ask to be removed from their blacklists; and the entire College is inconvenienced as our messages may not always get to their intended recipient.
Giving up your credentials can be even worse if it leads to identity theft. While most phishing is automated and used to spawn more spam, your credentials are now in the hands of unscrupulous individuals somewhere in the world. Those individuals can then access your account and look through your files, records and mail for the kinds of personal private and sensitive information they need to conduct financial transactions in your name. They can file a change of address, order a slew of electronics, cancel the orders, and direct the refunds to themselves, take out new cards in your name, and conduct an almost infinite variety of scams before you are even aware that anything is wrong.
To protect yourself:
Purchase College Campus Technology Services will never ask you to confirm/validate your User-ID and password via email. You will be prompted to enter your Purchase College credentials when you log into a Purchase College system, but those will always be on a xyz.purchase.edu website - or on a federated xyz.suny.edu website.
Be suspicious, and take the time to look carefully at anything that seems unusual, odd, or out of the ordinary. Do not use the links in messages you receive – go directly to vendor websites or accounts by typing their addresses in yourself.
Telltale signs that a particular message is a scam:
Look at the originator's address – spammers sometimes attempt to disguise by inserting "updates.purcahse.edu…" in front of the actual domain name "secure.1-central.net."
Look at URLs before you click on them:
Phish are easier to spot if you know a little about URLs. URLs have three components, separated by dots - "Host.Domain.Type" – so "www.purchase.edu" is the "www" host (or specific server name) at the domain "purchase" which is an "edu"(cation) domain. The host name (specific server name) is considered to be anything to the left of the second period ( the whatserver part of "whatserver.purchase.edu") and the hostname can be qualified by additional periods – for example "independent.blogs.purchase.edu" (blogs is the server name, independent is one of the blogs).
Spammers count on us reading from left to right , but with URL's you really should read from right to left. For example, www.purchase.edu.something.evile.phishermen.com may start out sounding ok, but you end up at the domain evile.phishermen.com – the last two sections on the right are the domain this destination is in, everything to the left of those last two sections is just a server name, and far less meaningful. Spammers are counting on us not reading the URLs – and unfortunately that is often a safe assumption.
What about those cute TinyURLs?
Those are gobbledygook redirects that aren't any easier to remember or pronounce than the longer ones they replace – they are just shorter – and maybe cuter: http://tinyurl.com/a7su6 (can you tell where that takes you? Is that in Russia? China? Or maybe Icantstanditstan?)
Since there is no way of knowing where you are being redirected to, Purchase College does not use tiny URL links in official communications, nor do most other legitimate enterprises.
Can you spot a phish?
Think you can spot a phish when you see one? Try taking the phishing test and see how well you do (I scored 7 out of 10 – can you do better?) After taking the test, make sure you look at the "Why" links for the ones you missed.
Circulating now:
Below is an example of a phishing scam circulated on campus recently that exhibits some of the telltale signs. Why send it at the beginning of September? New faculty and new students arrive, and everyone is busy and rushing to get things done. The end of the semester is another busy time when people may let their guard down a bit because they are so busy, and cannot afford to have their account access interrupted.

URL's are easy to disguise – while the URL looks like it will take you to domainupgradeac.ucoz.com – that is probably a phishing site. If you mouse over the URL you can see where it REALLY takes you (I replaced the spammer's site with a URL to a fictitious derp.duh.com). It could just as easily be an innocent-looking URL that takes you to a bad place. Mouse over and check your URLs before you click them. Sometimes a phish message will have legitimate links too, and one bad one, so you have to check them all.
Harder phish:
Not all phishermen suffer from poor grammar, and some of them actually know what they are doing. They might even be "spear-phishing" – specifically targeting you because of some known affiliation.
I got two of the message shown below last week on consecutive days, and while it looks somewhat legitimate at first glance the immediate red flag was the instruction to open an attachment (3 times!) I do have an account at Wells Fargo, and the phisherman is counting on me being alarmed enough at an attempt to compromise my bank account that I might lower my guard enough to be tricked into opening a malicious attachment (which probably tries to steal my banking ID and password!) The first day I just deleted it. The second day I called the bank on the phone to verify that they were fake (and they were) and forwarded the messages to their "reportphishing" address. I did not open the attachment - just opening them can cause infection.
Looks reasonably legitimate? Yes. Preys on fear of identity theft? Yes. Hard to spot? Not really.

Bottom Line: Please exercise caution in responding to email requests. If you have any doubts, call and ask.
The number of unsolicited e-mail messages - commonly referred to as "spam" - has grown dramatically over the last few years. According to some estimates, 85% of all e-mail messages are spam. Unfortunately, regulations and technical counter-measures have yet to catch up to the use of e-mail for criminal and commercial purposes, and we are all being bombarded with free mortgage quotes, pills, free Lotto prizes, gibberish subject lines, and the lost treasures of dead dictators.
Since e-mail has become commonplace, marketers and criminals alike have realized that they can reach you via e-mail at far less expense than regular mail. Whereas abuse of regular mail is prohibited by law, the absence of any regulatory laws governing e-mail use has also lowered the bar on the content of advertisement - messages that you wouldn't normally see in an envelope sent to your home now show up in your e-mail, including offensive materials.
How did these people sending the spam - these spammers - find you? For the most part, an e-mail address first ends up on a spammer's list because someone manually typed your e-mail address into a Web page. You may have done this yourself by subscribing to an e-mail list or "listserv", or by submitting your e-mail address when making a purchase at an Internet store (e.g. to obtain an e-mailed receipt), or even by subscribing to a general Internet service that "requires" an e-mail address - ostensibly so that it can e-mail you your password or future information such as weather or Internet auction information. Your e-mail address could also end up on a spam list if it is being published on a Web site. The spammers run computer programs that scavenge e-mail addresses from sites such as listserv archives, or Web directories.
Once you are on a Spammer's list, you can never get off. Spam e-mail lists are constantly bought, sold, traded, copied, compiled, and redistributed. In a matter of time you aren't on just one spammer's list - you are on hundreds of lists, and are receiving dozens of spam messages a day. Replying to a message, or following the links in the e-mail that supposedly allow you to "Unsubscribe" or "Opt - Out" may only make matters worse. These actions only notify the spammer that you are actually reading the e-mail they send to you.
In addition to the mass - marketing application of spam e-mail address lists, many criminals obtain and use spam e-mail lists in order to defraud. E-mail scams typically promise something - usually large sums of money - in return for the recipient's involvement, assistance, or release of personal information. These scams are often long and involved, and may even transcend the e-mail medium. Many e-mail scams ask the recipient to forward personal data, bank account numbers, and other information. Criminal Masterminds use the information in various ways to either steal directly from the individual, or to commit identity theft. According to the Federal Trade Commission tens of millions of Americans have been victims of identity theft.
The Federal Trade Commission Web site offers more information on identity theft at http://www.consumer.gov/articles/1015-avoiding-identity-theft/ and e-mail scams at http://www.onguardonline.gov/topics/avoiding-scams.aspx
The Campus Community is reminded that one should never respond to any type of communication with personal or professional information unless they are one hundred percent sure that the request for information is legitimate. Remember: if an offer is too good to be true, then it probably is.
E-mail users are further reminded that e-mail is not a secure medium, and any transmission of personal information such as Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number may be intercepted electronically. Personal and financial information should only be transmitted to a legitimate business or institution on the Web via a direct secure connection, usually evident by the presence of a small locked padlock icon on the bottom right of the Web browser window, when viewing the business' Web site. Personal and financial information should never be transmitted via e-mail, even if you have a secure connection to your e-mail service.

I'm reading a proof of Urysohn's lemma. The author constructs a sequence of open sets indexed by dyadic numbers, i.e. numbers of the form $\frac{p}{2^n}$. The proof starts at the bottom of page 4.
I don't seem to fully understand the proof, otherwise I could probably answer this question myself:
Where does he use that the indices are dyadic? At my current level of understanding it appears to me that one could use rationals to index these sets.
Many thanks for your help once again!

I talk especially musically : The way that the lyrics are create with music are not mature for me (hope you will understand, sorry my english is not very good) And I make exactly the same thing as you. I make a caricature of the new LP like you makes a caricature of old LP (Metal is for teenage) That 's completely idiot.

Sorry if you don' t understand me. I respect all opinions, I just wanted to defend the old LP. The debate is now closed for me.
It's not completely idiotic to claim Meteora was written for teenagers, because Linkin Park band members have even admitted in the past that Meteora was a product of label and fan pressure. The band wanted to go in a different direction, but the label was pressuring them to make another Hybrid Theory...and thus Meteora was born. Don Gilmore said in the making of that he wanted the lyrics to be written for that "10 year old kid in cleveland". You can see at certain parts of the making of that writing Meteora wasn't fun for the band, especially when they reveal that Somewhere I Belong was rewritten for the 97th time (and coincidentally thats one of their most angsty songs ever made). The band never wanted to have their 2nd album be a carbon copy of their first, and the lyrics of "When They Come For Me" should make that super apparent.
It's not that we hate Meteora here or that we have a problem with nu-metal. No. What we have a problem with, is people who insist on commanding Linkin Park to go back to sounding like a record that they made 10 years ago. I understand that some people prefer that sound to what Linkin Park is doing now (and I even respect that), but expecting them to make Hybrid Theory Part 3 is not only unfair to the band but also putting undue pressure on them to give into expectations. Let the band explore their musical horizons. Linkin Park were never supposed to be "one sound" or "one sided". They have always been a multi-faceted band and that's why every album (with the exception of Meteora) has sounded different from the one before it. Linkin Park never intended to stand still, and their fans shouldn't either.

I'm just shaking my god damn head at this thread and how completely off fucking topic this discussion has gotten. Let's bury the whole "New/Old LP" discussion. I'm sick of seeing the dead horse getting beat. Now that I've said it, because somebody had to, let's talk about the new album. I, for one, am looking forward to the new album, even if it features a loop of Brad farting on a snare drum.
Making a caricature of new LP like how some of us make fun of old LP isn't valid. Especially when you're talking 'musically'. Why? Because lyrics CAN be judged for maturity. Look at the subject matter of Meteora compared to ATS. Can music really be judged by maturity? Is Chopin more mature than Metallica? Is metal in general more mature than hip-hop? Music is music. But lyrics can easily be discerned as childish, angsty immature.
I agree with Hybrid! Stop, people, stop! Stop talking! Make another thread about this.. Meteora old/new LP stuff freaking.. stop!

NightOfNeptune : Me too I'm tired of this war between the fans. I just remember the time before MTM where the LP fans were like brothers and sisters. I Hope the new album will be gather us all.
I think people are excited for different things. When the album is released it obviously wont be what some are expecting (especially after reading that Kerrang article) but i guarantee that no-one will be disappointed
Okay i cannot take this anymore,
you guys think hybrid theory and and meteora sound alike but fail to recognise that No more sorrow and given up sound the same,what ive done/new divide and burning in the skies sound the same,all those shitty m2m songs(in peices ,the little things whatever,leave out all the rest)sound similar,i dont expect another nu metal album from the band but i do encourage the use of all band members equally(joe coudnt be heard in m2m,brad coudnt be heard in ats),excuse me for my english.
Mark the Graves Best Song since ever.
A song sounding heavy doesn't make it less "mature", that's not what anyone's trying to say. It's more the fact that, at this point in the band's career, the band themselves would consider it lazy and unoriginal to create music that heavily resembles what they made on their first two albums, and a lot of us here feel the same way.
As for the old "certain band member wasn't prominent enough on certain album" thing, Hahn handled a lot of atmospheric elements on "Midnight", though they were quite understated (much like Shinoda's rapping, they weren't just thrown all over the place) and that was only part of his role in creating the album. Each band member did more than just play a single instrument during the writing/recording process, an aspect of the band's constantly-evolving methods which they've kept since then. Delson wasn't very interested in playing guitar on "A Thousand Suns", but he made strong contributions to the songs' arrangements, which are one of the album's main strengths. On those two albums in particular, every band member helped to shape every aspect of the music as part of a democratic process and, both times, that has lead to results that are very different compared to when each band member stuck to rigid roles in the studio.

Actually, perhaps it's more accurate to word it this way: on more recent Linkin Park albums, the boundaries of the traditional "roles" of each band member have broken down. You no longer nessicarily "hear" each individual band member, but rather you hear the collective efforts of Linkin Park as a whole. Perhaps you hear a guitar part that you assume was played by Brad/Mike, but it could perhaps have been recorded by Chester or Pheonix. Or perhaps you hear a beat or sample that you assume Mike produced, when it could perhaps have been Joe or Brad (who I think is pretty able on Pro Tools).
No disrespect my friend, I'm not arguing with you, I just think you'd be missing out on a lot of good music if you listen to Linkin Park and just think: "Where is Joe? I can't hear Joe!"
Proof that the second sentence here is wrong. Adam's Song.
Same music, mature lyrics. Mature song. So that whole point you made was, no offense, completely wrong.
Leave Out All The Rest is a pretty mature song lyrics-wise. It's about someone who wants to be remembered for the good things after they die. A bit more mature than "I'm tired of being someone else, so I'm going to stop caring because I know I'll fail."I don't say that a style is more mature but the sound has an important role. If i go back to LP, A song like In Between is mature for me but songs like Numb, What I've Done, Leave out all the rest, Valentines Day are not...i respect people who like this songs but like i have already said that's make me angry when i read people who said that MTM is more mature than the old stuff(ht ep, ht, rea) because it's false.
It's unbelievable how much this news has spread to the mainstream music blogging sites, and all of them have completely misinterpreted Chester in my opinion. They all have headlines like "Linkin Park Going Back to Nu-Metal Roots" and "Linkin Park Dropping Electronics for Next Album", uhm, what? I completely didn't get any of that at all and to be honest, what it is going to sound like is still up in the air. They've basically listed everything every Linkin Park album has had since Hybrid Theory; guitars, electronics, big choruses, up-tempo songs, darkness and hope. EVERY fucking Linkin Park album has that, maybe in different ratios sure, but saying that Linkin Park are going back to "Nu-Metal" is ridiculous. If this album is anything like "Nu-Metal", I'll do a hand stand with my cock out in times square.
Arguing about "new" and "old" Linkin Park is also annoying to see. I know it will never end, but does anybody else just listen to any song from Linkin Park and think "yeah, this sounds like Linkin Park" regardless of the album? Because I do, and it's not going to change with this next release. Linkin Park are the six guys in the band, not the albums they release. Judging them on how the music they have made over the years has changed and applying that to how their next album will sound is redundant. Does anyone seriously think they sit at a table and think "okay, let's make it 33% Hybrid Theory, 4% Meteora, 23% MTM, 20% ATS and 20% fuck knows what". Fuck no. They just make the songs, work with the instruments that best fit the songs and stick them on a fucking album. More than any album before, that's what this album sounds like from the information they have chosen to share so far. More than anything they sound happy and excited about it and to be honest, that's all I care about. I'm excited for the new album and not because of how they describe the sound of it to the press, but because it's a new album from six guys who constantly strive to be better. My bet is, if you liked any songs off their first four albums, you'll probably like some off this one too.

Portrait of a corrupt lady 4
Americans, Gallup tells us, admire Hillary Clinton more than any other woman in the world — again. This latest accolade marks the 17th time Gallup has found Clinton to be the Most Admired Woman (MAW?) since she became first lady nearly 20 years ago. … And therein lies America's cosmic flaw. A country that could time and again embrace Hillary Clinton as its MAW has lost its mind or its memory or both.
So Diana West writes at Townhall. She goes on to remind Hillary Clinton's numerous fans why their admiration is misplaced. We quote in part:
Does the phrase "congenital liar" tinkle any bells? … As conjured by the late New York Times columnist William Safire in 1996, the phrase described the then-first lady for her shameless prevarications. These included what sure looked like bribery ("cattle futures"), defrauding taxpayers ("Whitewater"), obstructing justice — or, rather, "finding" her Rose Law Firm billing records (under subpoena for two years) just days after the statute of limitations ran out — among other corrupt behaviors that must have slightly suppressed Hillary-admiration that same year. The phrase remains apt.
"I remember landing under sniper fire," Clinton declared on the presidential campaign trail in 2008, describing a 1996 trip to Bosnia. "There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down (chuckles) to get into the vehicles to get to our base." It was a vivid but debunkable whopper, as CBS footage of the event proved. In reality, Clinton, accompanied by daughter Chelsea, made her ceremonial way into Bosnia through a warm throng marked by smiling faces and a kiss from a local girl — not bullets. Admirable?
On a more nationally significant level, Clinton recently supported President Obama's Big Lie that a movie trailer of "Innocence of Muslims" on YouTube "resulted" (her word) in the September attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya — a concerted falsehood for which neither Clinton nor Obama nor former CIA Director David Petraeus has yet answered. Even several days after intelligence agencies determined that a planned assault, not a video-driven protest, had taken place, Clinton went so far as to promise a grieving Charles Woods, father of slain former SEAL Tyrone Woods, that "we" were going to have the video maker "arrested and prosecuted." Why was Clinton still perpetuating the false narrative that the exercise of free speech under the First Amendment, not Islamic jihad, had resulted in the attack? Was that admirable? …
Meanwhile, the video maker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was indeed arrested and swiftly prosecuted, and is now serving one year in jail for "parole violations." His incarceration, however, is better understood as punishment for violating the Islamic ban on free speech about Islam. … The fact is, Hillary Clinton has worked assiduously with the Islamic bloc nations, known as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to promote Islamically correct speech codes through the so-called Istanbul Process. The goal of this process — and the goal of transnational Islam — is to implement Shariah speech codes via U.N. Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18, which seeks to criminalize "defamation" — free speech — about Islam. In leading this drive against free speech, Hillary Clinton is actually leading a drive against the First Amendment.
Most Americans don't know about the Istanbul Process, let alone how Islamic speech codes are unconstitutional, but it is this policy against free speech that may stand as Clinton's enduring legacy as secretary of state. It is of a piece with having presided over, first, the shredding of U.S. alliances with Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Libya's Moammar Gadhafi and then supporting jihadist factions and organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, now implementing Islamic law across the Middle East. This, of course, is President Obama's policy, but Hillary Clinton has been an active team player.
Another aspect of this same foreign policy Clinton has spearheaded is the launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum. The forum's roster of 29 nations plus the European Union is stunning for its exclusion of Israel, a leading counterterrorism force as much as it is a leading terrorism victim. But not so, according to Islamic definitions. Knowingly or not, as a leader of this forum, one-third of whose members come from the Islamic bloc, Clinton has accepted the Arab League and OIC definitions of terrorism, which both deny the existence of Israeli victims (sometimes U.S. soldiers) and legitimize the terrorism of Hamas, a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah. …
What influences have led Clinton to formulate or follow such policies? … It is hard not to wonder about the input of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, a young woman with well-established familial and personal ties to Muslim Brotherhood figures and front groups (including a "charity" linked to al-Qaida and a group banned in Israel for ties to Hamas). Indeed, what may be most astounding and mysterious about Clinton's whole public tenure is how Abedin ever received the security clearance necessary to work so closely with the secretary of state.
And further to all that, the burning question is: what has Hillary Clinton ever done that is admirable?
The political prisoner of the Obama regime 2
As everybody knows, a short video purporting to be the trailer for a film that was apparently never made, and which hardly anyone noticed for months, was publicly blamed by President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, UN Ambassador Susan Rice, and White House spokesman Jay Carney, for an outbreak of anti-US riots in Islamic countries, and for the murder of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.
The filmlet – puzzlingly titled "Innocence of Muslims" – mocks the Prophet Muhammad. The Prophet Muhammad is a mythical construct (even if based on one or more obscure historical figures of the 7th century), made by his inventors in accordance with their own ideals as an intolerant mass-murdering lecher. And that's how the filmlet depicts him.
For making it, a small-time hoodlum named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has been put in prison. Ostensibly his criminal offense is breaking terms of parole in trivial harmless ways such as going on the internet, but in fact he is a political prisoner who used his Constitutionally granted freedom of speech to say something the regime that now rules the United States of America does not like.
(For more about the video, Nakoula, the riots and how the video was used to stoke them up, see our posts: Muslim evil rising, September 13, 2012; Islam explodes, and Obama lit the fuse, September 14, 2012; The pretext giver, September 15, 2012; To make a mocking movie, September 23, 2012; Muslims made the anti-Muhammad video?, September 26, 2012.)
This is from PowerLine by John Hinderaker:
Liberal support for free speech has been waning for a long time, and at present it seems to be just about extinct. The latest evidence is a story in today's New York Times about Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man who made the video that was falsely blamed for the Benghazi attack, and has languished in jail for the last two months as a result. One might think that the Times would regard jailing a man for exercising his First Amendment rights as an outrage requiring daily denunciations, but no – the tone of the article, by Serge Kovaleski and Brooks Barnes, suggests that Nakoula deserved what he got.
Start with the article's title: "From Man Who Insulted Muhammad, No Regret." The Times finds it remarkable that Nakoula isn't penitent:
"Fuming for two months in a jail cell here, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has had plenty of time to reconsider the wisdom of making 'Innocence of Muslims,' his crude YouTube movie trailer depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a bloodthirsty, philandering thug."
So is America now a country where we imprison people so they can rethink the wisdom of making a video with the wrong political point of view? Apparently the Times thinks so; there is strong evidence that Barack Obama does, too.
"Does Mr. Nakoula now regret the footage? After all, it fueled deadly protests across the Islamic world and led the unlikely filmmaker to his own arrest for violating his supervised release on a fraud conviction. Not at all. In his first public comments since his incarceration soon after the video gained international attention in September, Mr. Nakoula told The New York Times that he would go to great lengths to convey what he called 'the actual truth' about Muhammad."
Which raises an interesting point. I have never seen anyone comment on the historical accuracy of Nakoula's film (assuming that anyone has actually seen it) or the YouTube trailer. Muhammad was, in fact, a "bloodthirsty, philandering thug." You could say worse things about him than that without straying from the truth. But this question is not one that the Times, or any other media outlet I am aware of, has seen fit to explore.
The Times tries to keep alive the fiction that Nakoula's video might have had something to do with the Benghazi attack:
"There is a dispute about how important the video was in provoking the terrorist assault on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the United States ambassador and three other Americans."
Actually, I don't think there is any dispute at all. To my knowledge, there is zero evidence that the Ansar al-Sharia terrorists who carried out the attack knew or cared about Nakoula's video.
The main point of the Times article – the only point, really – is to establish that Nakoula is disreputable and untrustworthy. But this is an odd perspective to take on what appears to be an extraordinary violation of the First Amendment – jailing a man for political speech regarded as inconvenient by the Obama administration. …
The Obama administration doesn't even pretend that Nakoula was imprisoned for any reason other than as punishment for his impermissible speech. Recall Charles Woods [father of Tyrone Woods, one of the Americans murdered in Benghazi] recounting how Hillary Clinton approached him at his son's memorial and said, "We're going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video." And it is blindingly obvious that tossing a probationer in the slammer for using an alias and accessing the internet, notwithstanding that those actions violated the terms of his probation, is not standard practice.
The writer asks –
In the view of the New York Times, is the First Amendment reserved for the honest and the respectable?
And comments –
That certainly wasn't the Left's position when Communists were availing themselves of the bourgeois right of free speech.
Now, it seems, it may be reserved for those who submit to Obama and Islam.
In fact, the New York Times and American "liberals" in general have been against freedom as such for a long time now. Collectivists calling themselves liberal – in the manner described by George Orwell as Newspeak – is like Communist tyrannies commonly calling themselves People's Democratic Republics. Or the main party of the Left in America calling itself the Democratic Party.
11/29/12. The real name of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula may have finally emerged. Fox News reports:
An Egyptian court convicted in absentia Wednesday seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor, sentencing them to death on charges linked to an anti-Islam film that had sparked riots in parts of the Muslim world [ie had been used to spark riots]. … The man behind the film, Mark Basseley Youssef, is among those convicted. He was sentenced in a California court earlier this month to a year in federal prison for probation violations in an unrelated matter. Youssef, 55, admitted that he had used several false names in violation of his probation order and obtained a driver's license under a false name. He was on probation for a bank fraud case.
Islam explodes, and Obama lit the fuse 5
More US embassies were attacked today by Muslim mobs.
Muslim leaders deliberately stoked up the flames of riot on 9/11 and again today. They needed a pretext and by a stroke of luck they found one in a movie. It was sent as a gift to the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, through the Egyptian media, by a brainless American member of the minority it is persecuting, Coptic Christians. (Will not the Copts in Egypt pay dearly for it?) Others of the group made the film – and maliciously alleged that it was made by Jews.
This is from (Glenn Beck's) The Blaze:
Protests in the Middle East that are being blamed on an anti-Islamic and anti-Muhammad film continue to rage. And as details unfold about the shadowy figures behind the film, the plot thickens. This morning, The Blaze provided more details about Steve Klein, a man who served as a spokesman for the film. And last night, we learned more about Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the filmmaker involved who has a criminal past.
Now, information is coming out about the man who is said to have intentionally translated and sent the video to Egyptian media, thus allegedly sparking a portion of the outrage. Since the initial violent reaction to the video emerged on September 11, many have wondered how the film came to the attention of Middle Eastern media and citizens, alike.
Religion News Service (RNS) is reporting that Morris Sadek, an Egyptian-born Coptic Christian, translated the movie into Arabic and sent it to Egyptian journalists. He also allegedly promoted it on his web site and through social media, the outlet reports. RNS has more about his background:
Morris Sadek describes himself as a human rights attorney and president of a small group called the National American Coptic Assembly, based in Chantilly, Va. Sadek says on his website that he is a member of the Egyptian and District of Columbia bar associations who has "defended major human rights cases" …
But fellow Copts depict Sadek as a fringe figure and publicity hound whose Islamophobic invectives disrupt Copts' quest for equal rights in Egypt.
The film is very badly made and acted, but at least it denigrates Islam. And neither its quality nor intention are important. Everyone in America is free to make a good or bad film with any intention whatsoever. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula the film-maker, Steve Klein the "spokesman for the film", and Morris Sadek who translated the dialogue into Arabic and sent the thing to Egyptian journalists are very small fry indeed in the drama of chaos and destruction that is unfolding.
It is the use of the film by Islamic leaders to arouse Muslim mobs to riot, burn, wreck, assault and murder that is evil. Those leaders are guilty of the havoc, the fire and the spilt blood, but they could only do what they're doing because the present American leadership prepared the way for them.
The events that are shaking the pillars of the world would have happened anyway, because Obama and his administration have over and over again by actions and by words, from his first speech abroad as president in Cairo in 2009 to Hillary Clinton's speech yesterday, impressed on Muslims the world over that they have been injured by America. And this despite the fact that Islam initiated war on America and is relentlessly pursuing it.
There could be no stronger reason to impeach and severely punish a president of the United States. It almost certainly won't happen, but it should.
Muslim evil rising 6
The attacks on American legations in Egypt, Libya, and Yemen were not spontaneous outbursts of indignation over an America-made movie. They were tactical onslaughts in the continuing war Islam is waging against the United States.
Caroline Glick traces the anti-America plot to riot, burn, and murder:
On June 4 the White House confirmed that the US had killed Abu Yahya Al-Libi – Osama bin Laden's Libyan lietenant who had moved into Al Qaeda's #2 spot … after the Navy SEALs whacked OBL.
The top man being Ayman Zawahiri, an Egyptian doctor.
On Tuesday 9/11, a tape was released of Zawahiri announcing that Libi had been killed earlier this year by a US drone attack. … Zawahiri called for his terrorist underlings to avenge Libi's death and especially exhorted Libyans to take revenge.
The attack in Libya was well planned and executed. It wasn't about a spontaneous protest against some ridiculous internet movie of Muhammad. The assailants came armed to the teeth, with among other things, RPG 7s. They knew that the US Ambassador was in Benghazi rather than Tripoli. They knew how to track his movements, and were able to strike against him after he and his colleagues left the consulate building and tried to flee in a car. …
Then there is the attack in Cairo. They were led by Mohammad Zawahiri – Ayman Zawahiri's brother. …
Egypt's US supported Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi recently released [Mohammad] Zawahiri from Egyptian prison.
The same Barack Obama who has no time in his schedule to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu next week in New York, is scheduled to meet Morsi.
The Egyptian government has not condemned the attack on the US Embassy in Cairo. But Morsi is demanding that the US government prosecute the film's creator.
You may be wondering how some movie no one's heard of has caused such a hullabaloo. Well, as it turns out, the film was screened on an Egyptian Salafist television channel. Obviously the Salafists – many of whom, like Zawahiri were released from prison by Morsi, wanted to stir up anti-US violence on the eve of 9/11. So if the film is responsible for the violence, a finger needs to be pointed to its chief distributor – Al Qaida's Egyptian friends and members.
With these facts in hand, it is clear that the attempts to present these acts of war against the US as the consequence of some stupid nothing movie are obscene attempts to deflect the blame for these unwarranted attacks onto their victims and away from their perpetrators.
And what of that movie? Who made it?
The media report that it was made by "an Israeli Jew".
So a Jew is to blame for the horrible exercise of free speech critical of Islam, that Obama and Hilary Clinton deplore more promptly, more instinctively than the attacks and murders.
But was it really made by a wicked Israeli Jew (if that isn't a tautology)?
This is from Commentary by Alana Goodman:
When the story broke about an anti-Islam film that (supposedly) sparked the riots in Egypt and Libya, the AP initially reported that an "Israeli Jew" named Sam Bacile [an unJewish and altogether improbable name] was the producer, and that it was funded by Jewish donors. All day, the questions have swirled over who this mysterious Bacile character was, but many Israel-bashers ran with the claim that the producer holds Israeli citizenship. …
Actually, there's no evidence that "Sam Bacile" even exists. The closest person who fits that description (at least electronically) is a self-proclaimed Egyptian "movie-maker" in California, who calls himself "Sam Bassel" on Facebook. Bassel has been registered on Facebook since 2010, and has posted regularly about the movies he supposedly produces, including the one that was used as a pretext for the Egyptian riots.
"Hello, I am a producer in a America and I live in Hollywood California," he wrote in a July 15 post, well before the controversy erupted in Egypt. "I recently produced a movie that I believe to be one of the most historically important movie of our times. It is a 2 hour long movie about the entire life of the Prophet Muhammad from start to finish. Everything that is depicted in the movie is very true and well documented in all historical books that are found and taught in all Islamic countries."
Bassel has posted about the film often over the past few months. …
UPDATE: The Facebook page belonging to "Sam Bassel" was apparently taken down a few hours after I posted this, but PolicyMic published some screenshots.
Hold on, though, the story gets weirder. PolicyMic also flags an AP article that suggests Bacile/Bassel may actually be a man named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who claims to be a "manager" for the company that produced the film, as well as a Coptic Christian. Nakoula denied that he posed as Bacile, but the details dug up by the AP sure sound suspicious:
"Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, told The Associated Press in an interview outside Los Angeles that he was manager for the company that produced Innocence of Muslims, which mocked Muslims and the prophet Muhammad and may have caused inflamed mobs that attacked U.S. missions in Egypt and Libya. He provided the first details about a shadowy production group behind the film.
"Nakoula denied he directed the film and said he knew the self-described filmmaker, Sam Bacile. But the cellphone number that AP contacted Tuesday to reach the filmmaker who identified himself as Sam Bacile traced to the same address near Los Angeles where AP found Nakoula. Federal court papers said Nakoula's aliases included Nicola Bacily, Erwin Salameh and others. …
"Nakoula denied he had posed as Bacile. During a conversation outside his home, he offered his driver's license to show his identity but kept his thumb over his middle name, Basseley. Records checks by the AP subsequently found it and other connections to the Bacile persona."
There must be a Jew behind it somewhere, though. [Note to the dense: We are being sarcastic. We are mocking anti-Semites.]
Trust the press agencies to keep looking for him.
Postscript, from Poynter:
A roundup of what has been reported about Innocence of Muslims, the anti-Islam film that contributed to attacks on U.S. embassies in Liby, Cairo, and now Yemen, killing US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three staffers, [suggests that] it may not exist. A squadron of reporters has failed to locate evidence that anything longer than the film's extremely weird "trailer" has been produced.

For some reason I have always been a sucker for post-apocalyptic Armageddon'ish type movies, now let's add some good ol' western elements in there along with a pretty decent story and you've definitely got me hooked.
The Book of Eli isn't just another Mad Max mimic, and really it isn't like any other film of its same sub-genre. It makes a mark of its own. Don't let the setting fool you, this film is a spaghetti-western at heart.
The Book of Eli takes place some 30 years after the apocalypse and stars Denzel Washington as the "Man With No Name"- a lone warrior fighting to bring what's left of civilization the knowledge and understanding of something that has been lost. He carries a book that he believes will help change things back to the way they used to be. The book is probably exactly what you think it is, but just in case you're not sure... I won't spoil anything for you.
Through his journey west (where he is being lead via some divine higher power) he encounters villains and obstacles along the way. Eventually he finds himself in a sleazy town run by a man named Carnagie (Gary Oldman), a literate dictator searching for the same book which he possesses.
Carnagie and The Man With No Name's interpretations and meanings of what the book stand for couldn't be more different. The Man With No Name sees it as a way to fix what has become of a wasted America, where as Carnagie sees it as a tool of power that will only help progress the totalitarian regime which he is creating. The Book of Eli isn't just another end of the world type movie without a plot and meaning, it's a post-apocalyptic spaghetti western action adventure with a purpose. It BELIEVES... awww, those canny taglines.
So enough with the story, let's not forget how much of a badass Denzel Washington really is. He paints the town red (literally with blood) in this movie. Nothing will get in the way of him and his faith, or his machete for that matter. Kinda reminds me a little of Jewels, his faith, along with the help of his nine millimeter at the end of Pulp Fiction. Anyways, this is the Hughes Brothers first movie to direct since 2001's From Hell- another great movie, and hey they didn't let us down in the least. They incorporate fast paced action scenes that don't last any longer than they need to. None of those drug out Michael Bay 45 minute fight scenes. The Hughes Brothers somehow manage to make your adrenaline rush and get you to the edge of your seat before you even know what's happening, then BAM it's over with. Quick cuts are just fine with me, but they are so overdone sometimes. The Book of Eli relies more on quick fight sequences where you get to see just how badass Denzel can be in such a short amount of time. The film is more about the story (Hallelujah!) vs. the action or special effects- but there's a really good mix of the both.
Watching this one you know that something unexpected has to happen at the end of the movie, and wa-la you're right! The ending to this one will make you scratch your head and think, wow really? Also, it makes you wanna watch it again just to see who is smarter you or the film-makers, awww cleverly done guys.
Summing this up, I'm gonna have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It's not another hopeless end of the world film; it's a hopeful fight for redemption. It's really unique and keeps you entertained, and that's what movies are all about right? But hey, what do I know?

"I'd like to think they were better shots if they meant to hit me," she says wryly. "They're trying to scare me." Gunnoe did testify. Nonetheless, a year would pass before she felt comfortable venturing into her yard without wearing a bulletproof vest. Today Gunnoe's house, now painted a camouflage khaki and green to make it less visible to her foes, is a small fortress behind a six-foot chain-link fence that she loathes. Video cameras and two guard dogs give her some sense of security, but "it takes a toll," she says. "There are days I literally can't get my head out of my hands." Gunnoe says her daughter's dog was shot and its body dumped in front of the post office, where the kids' school bus stopped each day. Another family dog was shot years later in the backyard.
"They got a saying: 'First we kill your dogs, then we come for you,' " says Larry Gibson, an activist and mentor of Gunnoe's who has fought mountaintop removal in West Virginia for 25 years. But in spite of this climate of hostility, Gunnoe considers it futile to report the harassment to local law enforcement, claiming that even potentially life-threatening incidents are never thoroughly investigated. No one, she insists, will even bother taking a report against a coal miner in Boone County. Not true, counter the state police and sheriff's offices. Sergeant Andy Perdue notes that the state police have made at least one arrest (when a miner's wife hit a protester). But in this highly charged atmosphere, he adds, not all harsh words result in a police action. As he puts it, "Everyone threatens everyone around here." (West Virginia governor Joe Manchin has begun meeting with coal companies and citizens on both sides in an attempt to defuse tensions.)
Miner Roger Horton, who spent the first half of his career underground before layoffs prompted him to "become fluent in large earthmoving equipment" and shift to mountaintop removal, says the threats run both ways. "Are there tensions? Absolutely," says Horton, founder of the advocacy group Citizens for Coal and an employee of Patriot. "I've had people call and tell me they'll kill my ass [if I don't stop mining mountaintops]," he says. Like Gunnoe, he responds with the mixture of dry humor and grit so prevalent in the hardscrabble hollows: "If someone wants to kill you, honey, there's not a dadgummed thing you can do about it. You're a goner. People who make these threats are cowards. I applaud Mrs. Gunnoe for standing fast to her beliefs."
But though he's had what he describes as cordial debates with Gunnoe, Horton, a citizen of Appalachia for all of his 56 years, draws a conclusion different from hers about the coal in the surrounding mountains: "The good Father put it here for us to use, and that's what we're doing."
"I love this land, too," he adds. "It's my heart, and I want to see it taken care of in proper fashion." He lauds the reclamation projects coal companies have undertaken to restore mountains after mining is complete—projects that have ranged from planting trees and grasses to using the now-level land for economic development, building prisons, shopping malls and even a golf course.
"I don't know too many hillbillies who play golf," Gunnoe scoffs. Her fat files include sheaves of aerial photos showing vast, empty moonscapes where mountains once were.
Concedes Horton: "You don't disturb a mountaintop and put it back exactly as it was, and the law doesn't require you to."
