AbstractWe review a recent technique for determining the entropy change accompanying certain classes of irreversible processes involving changes in the state of a system anchored to a reservoir. Time is introduced as a parameter to specify the corresponding entropy evolution of the system. The procedural details are outlined and their relation to the standard treatment of irreversible processes is examined.
Keywords: irreversible processes; entropy production; heat transport across boundaries; functions of state for irreversible processes

Last year in Indianapolis he swindled virtually ALL of the vendors and sponsors involved in the production of his party, including: The Venue, Catering, Modeling Agencies, Attendees, Ticket Agencies, Lighting and Production Companies, and Corporate Sponsors. Please do your research and contact any of the companies he worked with last year if you need reassurance of his extremely poor business morale (not hard to find via google from last year)
His financial practices are downright crooked as he will decline credit card deposits, cancel checks, dispute charges and virtually do anything possible to avoid paying his bills. [continued below]....
Furthermore The Leather and Laces party itself is a complete "Hype" event. Virtually zero celebrities attend the event other than the 3 that William pays to show up for 4 hours. Females can usually get in the party free, but men are expected to pay upwards of $500 to attend Leather and Laces, only to find out once they get in that they severely overpaid.
Also William built a reputation in Indianapolis in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl for taking advantage of aspiring female models with promises of Hollywood connections/glamour, etc. Anyone with friends in the modeling industry in New Orleans PLEASE pass this report along so they steer clear of William and his lies

I submitted all requested loan modification documents to Ocwen. I received several several weekly requests for more information from me, things i have sent them numerous times. I have gotten nowhere on the phone with this company. I just keep faxing and faxing documents, and attaching proof of previous times that i did fax the papers.
I am now facing foreclosure, as with Litton, they couldnt determine if i was eligible for a modification for over a year and a half. I have moved on to get counseling from the HOPE hotline, and hopefully the funds get approved from them so that i can catch up. I just cant seem to get an answer on what my monthly payments should be.
My husband and I have been nothing but proactive with Litton, and now with Ocwen. Someone noted to complain to Fannie and Freddie. How do i go about doing that?

AUTHOR: Carlyn mccabe - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 22, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, February 22, 2012
This is a home that was involved in equity stripping,robbing banks,flipping the properties and collecting rents from the original homeowners. There were 120 of us scammed in all and I am guessing those of us involved with Ocwen will lose our homes.
What is going on is a night mare and Ocwen continues to thrive on saying no and punishing,they are extremely rich and do not care.
We can write to all the Government entities question is will it help? The Big Five are helping some homeowners who were burned in the mortgage meltdown however there are still so many of us left.
In our situation we are patially to blame,our blindness or ignorance to the scam is our fault but we thought we were getting help: These closings took place at reputable title companies, the fees on the documents were way off the charts and DeMarco,the Real estae investmnet company along with straw buyers kept the proceeds along with collecting rent.
The Investors/strawbuyers have now filed Bankruptcy or let the homes go into foreclsoure,leaving the original home owner holding the bag. We are the "Defendants" now, though the FBI has arrested Anthony DeMarco and four others ,many of the starw buyers are leading very lucrative lives.
The straw buyers did not have to pay for the crime,they were able to collect a fee for signing off on the loans ,than when they realized what was going on they just let the homes go.
Many are saying how "lucky we were " after all we have not paid rent: News flash,we paid rents some of in excess of 4000 dollars and than after we paid the rent and a reserve account was suppose to be set up,we never received the reserves,and the cash out from the sales of the homes went to DeMarco,and his investors.
I don't mean to be so negative on the investors involved,I am sure some of them were really trying to help,while others just collected at least 10,000 for each transaction,some took out loans on the homes involved so now we should lose?
Some of the banks want to help,but in my case No,No, and No, and this is just not right!! The starw buyer never ever resided in these homes,they have homes now and we are about to face eviction??
Where is justice for us? We are not criminals,if any of us knew what DeMarcos intentions were we never would have paid rent.
Now just too bad for us: Like so many of us,I continue writing on Ripoff" hoping and praying "someone will help us all. Things are not going to get better,at least not for us. I will keep on writing and hoping that someone will help before we lose our homes ,There is no more "American Dream " only rich banks and mortgage comapnies that want to take our homes.
I thank you so much Ed and staff at Ripoff Report: Writing to FTC,OCC,FDIC, has to help but keep the power of The First Amendment in mind and continue writing on Ripoff Report,because of Ripoff Report and the FBI AnthonyDeMarco is behind bars awiting trial.
Once again Thanks Ripoff Report, Can anyone help save these homes and save us from eviction?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

PORT JERVIS — A 42-year-old man drowned Wednesday afternoon in the Delaware River while trying to swim about 100 yards from a raft to shore, officials said.
Police were not releasing the victim's name Wednesday night, pending notification of next of kin, but sources said he was from Yonkers.
Sparrowbush Fire Department 1st Assistant Chief Carl VanHorn said the man had made the swim from the raft to shore twice before the drowning occurred, but was wearing a life jacket both those times. For some reason, VanHorn said, the man was not wearing the life jacket on that third swim
Firefighters and witnesses said the drowning occurred at about 4:30 p.m. near Sleepy Hollow Road, close to a boat livery. No other injuries were reported
Witnesses said the swim was not part of an organized outing, but that the man was simply out for a dip in the river with his girlfriend.

yes, i have the same problem…
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the report. Will look into it,
Kind Regards!
Version 1.2 is out, please upgrade and let me know if you have any issues.
Kind Regards!
I am currently having this problem after upgrading to version 1.4
For me there is no action when I click a thumnail.
Did you find something?
Still having this issue. It worked before, but when I upgraded to 1.4 it changed - still not working in 1.41
for some reason I can't seem to start a new topic so I apologize if it's me just not getting it.
using Version 1.4.3 of this plugin. There is nothing wrong with this awesome plugin as it works fine in other themes I have but not in the one I need to use.
I know it's a long shot to ask but does anyone know why?
Link to page.
I would really like to use it on this and several other pages.
Hi kirkhall,
It looks like your theme ( or some of your plugins ) is using an older version of jQuery ( ver 1.4.2 ) when It should use the current one bundled with WordPress ( ver 1.7.2 )
See in the source code that the jQuery file is pointing to:
Try deactivating all other plugins if the problem persists contact the theme author, or the appropriate plugin author.
Kind Regards!
Wow, thanks so much. I knew the problem was jQuery but couldn't get my head around what to change until you typed it out for me. I was able to change the jQuery reference in the theme myself and it all looks good now.

Nov. 14, 2000 -- Bicycling is becoming a sport for all ages, as more children younger than age 5 are pedaling around. But with the fun comes a risk for injury, and a new report shows that these young children are at high risk for head injuries caused by falls from bicycles or tricycles, with most of these accidents occurring at home.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says that "all cyclists should wear a properly fitted ANSI [American National Standards Institute]- or Snell-approved helmet specifically designed for cycling. Children riding as passengers must wear appropriate-size helmets in specially designed protective seats." Experts advise parents to start the helmet habit early by having children wear helmets as soon as they start to ride and to set a good example by always wearing a helmet, too. The experts also recommend talking to kids about why they should protect their heads and rewarding them when they put on their helmets without being told.
Dr. Robert R. Tanz, the senior author of the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine report, tells WebMD that most bicycle safety programs have ignored preschool children and that new programs aimed at preschoolers and kindergartners are needed. "We found that young children age 1-4 are at higher risk from cycling injuries than had been appreciated," says Tanz, who is director of medical education at Children's Memorial Hospital and associate professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University Medical School, both in Chicago. He also is chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics section on injury and poison prevention.
Tanz examined nationwide data on children treated in emergency rooms for cycling-related injuries. He estimates that each year more than 45,000 young children visit the emergency department for bicycle-related injuries, numbers that tend to rise for older kids and boys. A significant number of these injuries are head injuries. Children aged 5-9 also had the highest rate of facial injuries. Tanz says this probably means that few of these children were wearing helmets.
For children under age 1 and for those who cannot sit up unassisted, Dr. Danielle LaRaque, tells WebMD that they should not be on bicycles at all. LaRaque is chief of general pediatrics at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also says that children riding as passengers on bicycles should sit in separate restraining seats that are fastened securely to the bicycle frame, strap the child in securely, and protect the child from moving parts of the bicycle.
"Our impression is that we are seeing more injuries from children even 3 and 4 who are already riding bicycles. Helmets are extremely important for these young cyclists and also for those on tricycles," Tanz says. "Toys like Big Wheel-style tricycles look extremely safe, but children use them in ways parents have never thought about. They try to do wheelies on tricycles and then fall right off the back onto their heads. With bikes, trikes, or scooters, the point to remember is that if you can fall off it, you can land on your head. Children on any of these should wear a helmet."

By General George W. Casey, Jr.April 10, 2009
Good morning, everyone! What a great day to be inside, huh'
Pete Geren, it's wonderful to see you. I would like to recognize General Craig McKinley, Director of the National Guard Bureau. The first National Guard officer to reach the rank of four stars, he's a great addition to the Army leadership team. So Craig, welcome. And thanks for all you do for us. [Applause].
A warm welcome to all of our noncommissioned officer inductees and their Families. I couldn't be more proud than to be part of your Army. To the Families, thanks for all you do to support your Soldiers. We say our Army is the Strength of the Nation. Our Families are the strength of our Soldiers. So thanks.
I'd also like to recognize these magnificent Soldiers out here representing the generations - not only of noncommissioned officers - but also of Soldiers. They're the history of our Army. How about a big hand for the Old Guard. [Applause].
Twenty years ago, Sergeant Major of the Army Bill Gates - together with Secretary of the Army John Marsh and Chief of Staff of the Army Carl Vuono - designated 1989 as the Year of the Noncommissioned Officer. They viewed it as an opportunity to enhance the status of noncommissioned officers as a time-honored profession and to highlight the vital role that noncommissioned officers played and continued to play in the defense of the Nation.
This Year of the NCO came nearly two decades after much-needed, wide-ranging reform as our Army adjusted to the post-Vietnam era, grew into an all-volunteer force, and transformed its doctrine, weapon systems, force structures, and institutions - among them the Noncommissioned Officer Educational System.
Nothing dramatic happened overnight as a result of these reforms ... as is normal in large institutions. But over time, the educational system produced better and better sergeants. As that happened, the trust that officers placed in them grew. This led to increased responsibility for noncommissioned officers and, over time, a growing confidence in their ability to exercise that responsibility. All in all, the educational system reforms helped produce a restoration of noncommissioned officer professionalism that many of us in today's Army can barely fathom. In fact, as I look back, I lived through that. It is just remarkable how far we have come.
We owe an immense debt of gratitude to the leaders - the noncommissioned officer leaders - that led this change ... particularly to the Sergeants Major of the Army who guided us through that period. Sergeant Major Kidd and Sergeant Major Jack Tilley, it's great to have you here with us representing all of that.
We owe the same debt to the sergeants who stuck around during those lean years of the 1970s before the initial investment began to pay off and bear fruit. Noncommissioned officers like my first platoon sergeant, Tom Charo, who by their dedication and competence, taught officers like me to rely on them and inspired generations of privates to seek those coveted sergeants stripes themselves.
Now, Tom Charo is an interesting story. He taught me the role of a noncommissioned officer. He taught me the value of caring for Soldiers. And he taught me the value of attention to detail. I still keep in touch with him to this day. I was down at Fort Bragg about a month ago. We had a ceremony there, and he had come down. He was standing off on the side, so I called him up to the podium. He pretended to be angry, but he loved it. [Laughter]. I thanked him publicly and said what I really believe ... that I would not be the officer I am today had it not been for Tom Charo. And any officer will tell you the same thing ... that there is a noncommissioned officer behind them every step of the way.
I also give Tom a hard time because - we stayed in touch a little bit - but, until I made two-star general, I never heard from him very much. [Laughter]. Now, I hear from him all the time. He calls me up to give me advice. [Laughter].
All of us to some extent stand on the shoulders of the predecessors of these great noncommissioned officers. It's especially appropriate to remember that today as we induct these new sergeants into our Noncommissioned Officer Corps.
So in 1989, the Army leadership saw the need to recognize that a series of long-overdue reforms had restored and institutionalized the professionalism of our Noncommissioned Officer Corps. In doing so, they also honored sergeants for their service as leaders, trainers, role models, and standard-bearers.
Twenty years later, we do this again. Only now, we're transforming while the Nation is at war. We've been doing it continuously for seven years. Noncommissioned officers, more than anyone, know the stakes involved. As you know, they're leading from the front in this struggle to defend our freedoms and preserve our way of life. This is really clear when you look at who has received awards for valor since September 11, 2001. Noncommissioned officers have earned over 60 percent of our awards for valor, yet they represent less than 40 percent of our force.
Just this past Monday, there was an awards ceremony at Fort Campbell. Of the seven Soldiers on the stage, six were noncommissioned officers. The seventh was actually a second lieutenant who dove on a grenade to protect his platoon. I'll tell you that the more I travel around our posts and installations the more it's clear to me that our Noncommissioned Officer Corps is providing the glue that is holding this force together at a very, very difficult time for our Army and for our country. It is allowing us to accomplish the near-impossible every day.
Without a doubt, our Noncommissioned Officer Corps is a national asset. When I go around the world and I talk to different armies, it becomes very, very plain. Our sergeants are the envy of the world's armies. As a Nation, we should take special pride in that.
We should also take pride in the fact that our NCOs - through their courage, their commitment, and their sacrifice - personify a spirit of service. By answering that call, they represent for us what the President was talking about in his inaugural address. I'm going to read you what the President said on January 20th. In this part of his speech, he held up the men and women of the armed forces to the American people as an example of selfless service.
Here's what he said: "As we consider the role that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are the guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service - a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all."
Again, your President used the men and women of the armed forces as an example to the American people. And our noncommissioned officers are an example for all of us.
I offer that just as one more reason for us to respect this great Noncommissioned Officer Corps we've built and to recognize its amazing contribution to our Army and to our country. That's a contribution that is only going to grow in importance.
Finally, it's also fitting that we recognize and honor the contribution of our noncommissioned officers today - the 6th Anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This is a war that has been carried and led by our Army and its noncommissioned officers. The success our Nation has achieved in Iraq is a reflection of the adaptive capabilities of this great institution and of the effectiveness of our small units led by our magnificent noncommissioned officers.
Thank you very much.

In their budget negotiations, Congress and President Obama must respect women's contributions to the economy, protect programs especially serving and employing women, and reject plans threatening to send women into poverty, says a nonpartisan coalition of women's organization.
At a July 12 telephone press conference, the 240-organization National Council of Womens' Organizations launched the Respect, Protect, Reject Campaign, and called on negotiators to uphold Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and emphasize women's concerns in the talks.
Pointing out that women have been disproportionally harmed by the recession and rely heavily on these targeted programs, the council in a July 12 letter, urged budget negotiators to develop "a robust jobs program" and to acknowledge "the real causes of the federal budget deficit." They cited "two unpaid-for wars," continuing tax breaks for the wealthiest, and massive job loss that has cut revenues at all levels as causing the downturn and lagging recovery, and urged "examining revenue enhancers" to cut the national debt.
Calling joblessness "the first reason for the deficit," Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, told reporters, "then our leaders must look at the real causes and do something about it. Instead, some of the leaders of Congress are insisting we cut back on the very things women rely on because we are in such a high unemployment situation now."
The inequality of wages between men and women, which is even greater for African American and Latino women, has also intensified the recession's impact on women, said O'Neill.
U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., said, "When I think about my congressional district, I think about the thousands of women, particularly, for whom there is no such thing as a 401(K) or a pension or savings, and whose homes have lost value. Social security is their groceries, their day-to-day expenses. So cutting, it's not an option."
Edwards and 69 other Democrats in Congress have written to President Obama urging him to keep Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid off the negotiating table.
Joan Entmacher of the National Women's Law Center supported Edwards' words. Noting that women have actually lost nearly 300,000 jobs during the recovery while men have gained over 800,000, Entmacher said, "This is the first recovery in history where women are doing so much worse than men, two years into the recovery."
The main cause, she said, is the huge layoffs in the public sector, where women - a majority of the workforce - actually lost even more than their share of jobs. "Who are these women? They are teachers, librarians, social workers, health care workers who provide essential services to women and their families. And now these jobs are gone."
In response to a reporter's question, Entmacher said military spending is "an area where we could certainly make significant cutbacks," including eliminating waste and evaluating whether the ongoing wars "actually contribute to national security."
Public works jobs programs should ensure that women, and men of color, could benefit from them, she said. And a public jobs program should also include "investments in our human infrastructure" such as education and libraries.
Older Women's League board member Margie Metzler, herself a laid-off worker, emphasized the overwhelming importance of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to older women, who experience widespread rejection when they apply for jobs. When negotiators call for those programs to be "on the table," she said, "what they are really saying is, 'you should die.'" Metzler said she is both terrified and angry at the attacks, "but I also feel galvanized into action, because I'm not sitting still for this."
Activists urge supporters to sign the Respect, Protect, and Reject Campaign's petition to Congress.

Alpha 3 of Ubuntu 8.04
The developers of Ubuntu have released the third alpha of Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron", which is planned as a LTS version.
(After the final release in April, users will have to decide whether they prefer long time support or the new KDE desktop. The third Hardy Heron release includes a number of pre-release versions of the kernel, drivers and programs which will all be stable by the time the final release becomes available. The core of the system is Release Candidate 6 of kernel 2.6.24, which merges the x86 and x86_64 branches, thus making dynamic ticks, as currently offered for the x86 platform available to x64 systems. On top of this, new WLAN drivers and a number of new and revised drivers will be included. The Web browser is a pre-release version of the future Mozilla browser Firefox 3. Xorg 7.3 the new graphical system that offers improved automatic configuration is also included. PulseAudio is the new sound system. The integration of PolicyKit will offer more granular configuration capabilities. The system gives administrators the ability to grant additional privileges to normal users for specific actions.
For the first time, user will be asked to decide, after the Final Release in April, whether they prefer long term support or the new KDE desktop. The developers have announced that the Kubuntu version of Ubuntu 8.04 will not be available as an LTS version. Shortly before Christmas, Kubuntu's main developer, Jonathan Riddell, announced that Kubuntu would not be offering the LTS version scheduled in the release plan, but going for the new KDE 4 instead. The announcement met with a mixed reception. Although part of the community approved of the step, others said that Kubuntu was playing guinea pig.
Business customers are unlikely to welcome this step. After all, companies who have used the current LTS variant, Kubuntu 6.06, will now need to decide whether to opt for the currently unstable KDE 4 variant, or to secure long term support by moving to a different flavor of Ubuntu.
As always, the Alpha 3 is available from the distribution's website or one of its mirrors. As the alpha is for test purposes only, users are advised not to deploy it in production environments.

Skip to comments.Holder confirms criminal probe on Wall Street
Posted on 11/29/2010 1:24:07 PM PST by USALiberty
Attorney General Eric Holder has confirmed that the U.S. attorney's office in the southern district of New York is conducting a criminal investigation of Wall Street.
(Excerpt) Read more at finance.yahoo.com ...
We need to de-fund the U.S. attorney's office in the southern district of New York until the Kenyan regime agrees to BACK DOWN!
How about a criminal investigation of Pennsylvania Avenue, Eric Racist?
>>Attorney General Eric Holder has confirmed that the U.S. attorney's office in the southern district of New York is conducting a criminal investigation of Wall Street.<<
Ok, does anybody know who this Street guy is? And what kind of parents would name their kid "Wall"?
How about BOTH?
Attorney General Eric Holder has confirmed that the U.S. attorney's office [in the southern district of New York] is conducting a criminal investigation of [Wall Street]BLACK PANTHERS. (Never happen)!!
I dunno; but, his mother, Della, was Perry Mason's secretary for a number of years back in the '50's.
Let's face it folks,O-Quigg has cut his own tow line and he's got Holder looking for the strawberries on Wallstreet.
The wikileaks investigation will be handled with the same zeal that this investigation will receive... YEAH RIGHT. Holder will only tacitly investigate the wikileaks scandal, and will direct 99% of resources to investigate Wall Street.
Only HILLARY supporters are being targeted.
What will the going rate be for a "Get out of jail free" card?
Top down, bottom up. Top down, bottom up.
I'm sure that all the Wall Street banksters have reviewed the it list and have signed off" : knock off the competition and increase margins.
Forget about it. He has a track record of pardoning a despicable tax cheat (Marc Rich) who was involved in bypassing US sanctions by trading of oil, as well as terrorists (around 15 of them from a Puerto Rican liberation group).
Who is going to investigate the investigators????
Special prosecutor appointed by the citizens of the US???
If this fiasco goes forward - then the first on the list to be investigated should be George Soros... but don't hold your breath.
I think there was something going on there. Perry seems like the kinda guy who might name his son Wall.
Checking on contributions to the DNC-Obama's "naughty or nice" list. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, coming from the DOJ must be viewed skeptically for political motivation.
Throw in Warren Buffet and Goldman Sachs and Jamie Dimon (all major contributors and supporters of obama) who were saved by the bail outs yea I can see that happening.
Inspector Eric "Jacques Clouseau" Holder in search of the Blank Panther.
Is this Charlie Rangel calling in his favors?
How about a closer look at ACORN ?
I believe his mother is Ava Avenue and his father is Walter Boulevard. Not sure why they would name an offspring Wall Street. Hth
yes the stupid communist tw*ts of the regime are at it again.....they cant solve crime but they can destroy our economy.
what vapid dooooooshbags.
Wow...they're taking Chicago politics to the hilt!!!!
That's been working very nicely so far the problem bank list has grown again and they have been dropping like flies but I wonder if it has anything to do with the Wikileak's release apparently there is information coming out on the banks in it.
Wikileaks: It Could Take Down a Bank Or Two
Well, the definition of an honest politician is one that STAYS bought. Guess Barry Soetero ain't "honest".

Tom's take: Clemson tops OSU in shootout
Joshua S. Kelly
The Orange Bowl was billed as a battle of big-time quarterbacks, pitting Braxton Miller vs. Tajh Boyd. It certainly lived up to its billing as a shootout, as Clemson won a wild 40-35 contest that featured four lead changes and 1,003 combined yards. Miller finished with 269 total yards; Boyd had 497 in one of the best games of the postseason.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me but this season feels disjointed. I have been a loyal fan of this show and am a big fan of Duchovny and Pamela Adlon. However, more than a few episodes this season have been more absurd than normal and give off a slap-stick feel. A really hope the series finale wraps this great series up the right way.

|Posted by Eccentric 2 years, 1 month ago
The last few seasons were definitely not up to par with the rest of the show, but I liked the way they ended it. Most of them got a happy ending. I actually like Becca's character, she got a little off track in the recent seasons, but in the beginning she was definitely my favorite. It's a good show to watch if you can handle it losing its charm later on.

The film has two tremendous assets: the performers and its visual style. Johnny Depp leads the cast in the title role, and it is a virtuoso performance, for he entices us to like a man whose self-blindness would normally lead an audience to reject him out of hand; the performance is incredibly witty, wildly over the top, and yet it contains just enough pathos to allow us to relate to Wood on a human level. But the real stunner in the cast is Martin Landau, who picked up a Best Supporting Academy Award for his performance as Bela Lugosi, a legendary actor who was very much a forgotten star (not to mention morphine addict) by the time Wood befriended him in the early 1950s.
As with Wood himself, the film plays fast and loose with the facts of Lugosi's life, but it nonetheless captures something very essential about both Lugosi and the Hollywood that destroyed him, something very elemental that transcends the weird comedy of the piece. And Landau gives the performance of his career; you truly believe that this is Lugosi before you, a strange but appealing mixture of faltering humanity and arrogance desperate for an audience now lost to him.Read more ›
Well, simply because the word "worst" does not even adequately describe Ed Wood. He was the absolute, undisputable worst, unrivalled in his mindless disregard for decent production values, coherent storytelling, credible scriptwriting, and competent acting. If he were just "the worst," he would be no more than a mere footnote in cinematic history. But by single-handedly redefining the standards of ineptitude, Wood achieved that rare status of lovable loser. I mean, really, you have to admire someone who approaches his craft with so much grit and determination and so little talent.
It takes an A-grade cast to bring to life this story of Z-grade moviemaking. And we have one. Johnny Depp delivers a performance of fire in the title role, giving us a lot of insight into the character that Ed Wood was. Martin Landau (in an Oscar-winning performance) doesn't just portray Bela Lugosi. By golly, he becomes Lugosi, almost convincing us that the horror movie legend was resurrected for this project. Sarah Jessica Parker, Jeffrey Jones, Bill Murray, George "The Animal" Steele, and Lisa Marie comprise the ensemble cast that portrays a motley crew of rank amateurs. Think about it, these people had to re-enact the shooting of Wood's movies, looking serious but coming out funny, and doing all that with a straight face.Try that, folks.
Appreciate too, the film's most memorable line. At the premiere night of Plan 9 From Outer Space, Wood declares with unqualified conviction: "This is it. This is the one I'll be remembered for."
Whether you're a fan of bad movies or not, you simply have to see Ed Wood. It's not often that a film comes along that makes you like a man who so admirably succeeded at being a failure.
10. Filmed in gorgeous Black and White
9. An Oscar-winning performance by Martin Landau
8. A "should have won an Oscar" performance by Johnny Depp
7. A gigantic fake rubber octopus
6. Mariachis
5. Johnny Depp wearing multiple dresses.
4. Black booties
3. Angora sweaters
2. It's the best film ever made about what movies can mean to us
1. There's not one bad line, or false note, or miscast performance. It's perfect!
The film is by turns hilarious and sad. There are loads of great one-liners ("Yes, but if you take that ... and put a star in it, then you've got something!") and other endearingly funny moments. Landau's portrayal of Lugosi provides most of the pathos, showing us the tragic decline of a man who tried his best to work until the very end.
"Filmmaking is not about the little details. It's all about the big picture!" Tim Burton has done a wonderul job with both in this movie.

Even though games have better graphics,and better control pads,as well as every other advantage over old-school games--there's 1 department of this generation of gaming that's sorely lacking--and thats great game theme songs!!!
i mean back in the day(8,and 16 bit days) u had games with theme songs that whether u HATE IT OR LOVE IT,WOULD STICK IN UR HEAD--I MEAN I USED 2 BE IN SCHOOL FAILING TESTS BECAUSE I COULDNT CONCENTRATE AND GET SUPER MARIO,AND ZELDA THEME SONGS OUTTA MY HEAD,ALONG WITH COUNTLESS OTHERS( even sonic games -1,and 2, fuc the rest---
but now,2 me the last great soundtrack and theme songs 2 a game was ff 7,but since then i havent had one game i played that had a theme song that stuck in my head when i wasnt playing it
hopefully in the future though,games would let u download ur own music soundtracks onto the games themselves,but enough about what i think,i'll love 2 hear what u guys think and ur fav game theme songs--hopefully some of u will even prove me wrong,
later guys!!!

Hello friends, I hope you had a great holiday weekend. Did you get any shopping done? Took it easy over here, played some games and worked on some projects. The gaming question of the day is for all you Sega fans. Imagine that the publisher were to jump on the Fighting All-Stars bandwagon and come up with their own Smash Bros. clone. Granted, the studio released Fighter's Megamix for the Saturn years ago, but I was thinking more along the lines of every possible Sega game was open for nominations. Who would you like to see in the game?
Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers are obvious pics, but what about the mascot characters? Should Phantasy Star, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Jet Set Radio, Mad World and Bayonetta also be represented? What other characters would appear in your Sega Fighting All-Stars?
