Discussion in 'Movie Forum' started by emthree, Nov 21, 2009.
2 Weeks is about 2 years in Pincho "time".
yea 2 weeks out on DVD/Blu ray and the actual film itself released here in the UK earlier this year and not to mention it was released last year YES last year in sweden.
Toss in the fact that the movie has got MAJOR advertisement for the last 3-4months.
**** holywood and its stupid remakes. im sick and tired of it. a bunch of talentless idiots. Leave this film alone for ****sakes.
If people are too lazy and stupid to read sub titles then thats their problem.
All these remakes is ******* me off
He was joking because the thread started out as a discussion about the original and now it's morphing into a discussion about the remake. I can't really see the point in starting a new thread though because people will just discuss both films regardless...
I was talking about what Pincho said, he said it had been out for ages in Morrisons when it had only been out for two weeks.
As for remakes, there is a lot of talent in Hollywood the trouble is the bottom line. This film was a very good film but for some, in fact a lot simply not accessible for the average punter. Hollywood has seen this as an opportunity to sell more product.
Why get so angry? The Swedish ones won't go away, you can still enjoy them, you really don't have to watch the American versions. Also this nothing new Hollywood has been doing this for years check out The Magnificent Seven.
Oh ok you must have an insight into the Pincho psyche that I don't, I thought he was being serious or just exaggerating.
Probably about 90% of the main US market then and a good % of the UK market..
TBH I'm with you though.. No point and the originals fine.. Adding major acting presence will not do this film any good, your taking to much weight away from the plot. The casting was spot on in the original so anyone else is going to look a sham..
However I was interested to see it was Fincher directing.. And that he has committed to filming in Sweden.. Obviously the Studios know (especially for the US market where the theatre release was about as penetrating as a cotton dart) that such a best seller of a book will have a lot of potential viewers for an English version.. Im quite impressed/suprised they havent gone down the road of the Vanishing or Insomnia though and totally relocated it to New England or Alaska.. But I'll reserve judgement till we see that Fincher doesn't stray from the plot and we have to start counting how many exploding bits of CGI the studio insist the film will need..
I havent seen any of the originals yet as I want to read all the books first, i'm really looking forward to seeing them from what everyone is saying.
I appreciate all the critism about the remake but for me the books feel like hollywood movies. They've just got that vibe about them, it's as if they've been written for it.
Everyone in the UK knows about this film. a remake wont do this country no good at all. As i have said time and time again the movie has been advertised as if it WAS a holywood blockbuster movie.
anyone else think this movie was a big steaming pile of overated pap lol?
The backstory of the hacker got in the way, killed any momentum the movie might've had. The mystery itself, well, it wasn't even a mystery tbh as there were very few red herrings or attempts to follow alternate paths...it was simply a code unlocked and voila.
For those who enjoy following all the rumours... the latest is that Fincher has narrowed the casting for Lisbeth down to 4 - Rooney Mara, Sarah Snook, Sophie Lowe and Lea Seydoux.
Who, who, who and who? Haven't seen the first one yet, still sealed
Backstory.. You mean the main character ..Remember its part of a trilogy
Yeah I know it's a trilogy and obviously she's the main char SPOILER: My point is the back story of the rape etc, has no bearing on how Lisbeth solves the murder, only her proclivity towards sex . So what is the point of those scenes? It merely delays her arrival in teaming up with the Millenium guy. It has no bearing on her talent as a hacker; it does not define her. Is there something the book they skimmed?
Basically if you remove those scenes does the story remain intact? Yes it does. So that back story is actually a complete waste of time.
In one word, nope!
I thought the film was good fun, and an interesting variation of the original novel by Stieg Larsson. Admittedly, the film is only the bare bones version, and misses out a lot of the actual story, (e.g. how Mikael and Lisbeth first meet; their relationship; the backstory to the hacker; the murder(s) and the criminal; Lisbeth's childhood and life, and why she hates men so much), which is a real shame. That's why the longer 180m version of the film could well be more interesting. Also, bear in mind the films were originally made for Swedish TV, and not for theatrical release!
Still, if you read the book first, then watch the film's after, you'll enjoy the film more. But it isn't the complete story as detailed in the book.
According to Deadline there are infact 6 actresses competing for the role of Lisbeth with another testing being held on Sunday. Ellen Page and Emily Browning seem to be back in the picture despite earlier reports saying that they were out.
We really only learn most of Lisbeths Back Story in the later 2 books though dont we..Its a while since I read them
aha so made for t.v, so basically there were 3 1hour episodes? Well whatever made it from book to screen didn't translate very well. I imagine the books are superior (as they always tend to be when they're adaptations).
Anyway, off topic...Splice...what a pile of ***** lol! Worst film I've seen this year, right up there with Repo Men.
Yeh you said earlier how much you dislike it. You must have seen a lot of top drawer films this year, if this is one of the worst you've watched.
I assume the remake is going to be PG-13, I actually found the ending to be quite creppy and tense.
@PoochJD, the first film was not a straight to tv, it was infact a a full theatrical release in sweden. You could also tell my the direction and feel of the first film looks very professional when compared to part 2 or 3.
Just to clarify...
Originally, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO was made as a 3-hour film, to be shown on Swedish TV, in 2 x 90 minute episodes. The result was then deemed worthy of a theatrical release, after all filming had been completed, but was edited down to a 154 minute cinema version. In Sweden, they saw the cinema version, and very soon after, the longer 3-hour edition, shown over 2 consecutive nights, as 2 x 90 minute TV episodes, was broadcast on Swedish TV, and on big-screens in some areas of Sweden at landmark outdoor events!
The 154 minute edition is what the majority of the world saw, and knows as the film. However, the film was also released and shown in some countries at festivals, as a single 3-hour movie too. This longer version, is hopefully due to be given a DVD release in Australia, towards the end of the year.
The rest of the novels, have already been filmed and completed, but are being released firstly as theatrical movies, of roughly 2-hours each. But, again, in Sweden, a slightly-longer version has been created, that can be shown as 2 episodes on Swedish TV.
The majority of the world will not see these alternate TV versions, only the theatrical, cinema editions!
Variety is reporting that Stellan Skarsgard is in talks to play Martin Vanger in the US remake.
Robin Wright is in talks to play Erika Berger. She looks spot on imo.
This has a rerun at my local cinema so I saw it again last week. Apart from the 'final' ending, it still looks good. They've got the next one very soon 'The girl who played with fire'. I'm looking forward to it.
Watched the Swedish version recently and I enjoyed it. It wasn't fantastic but it was entertaining. I didn't expect it to be so dark and gritty at times, but it was a more enjoyable film for it. Will the Hollywood version be as dark?
Ellen Page as Lisbeth?! No. Ellen Page is a cutie pie and I just can't see the hatred in her that the Swedish actress playing Lisbeth was able to manifest for the Swedish version of the film. Sure, I've seen Ellen Page playing a psycho in Hard Candy, but in the TGWTDT her eyes need to be filled with hatred and pain, and I just can't see that in Ellen Page's big puppy dog eyes.
Rooney Mara has been cast to play Lisbeth Salander in the David Fincher version, anyway.
I thought the two leads were the only really great thing about the Swedish version. The film was watchable but unmemorable. It has the rather clunky plotting of the type of paperback thrillers one picks up at airports. I now wished Fincher wouldn't waste his talents on this, but maybe its one of these films he has to do to get less commercial projects of the ground.
Just seen this film and I agree, it was a bit like watching the Da Vinci Code. Having not read either of the books I thought both films were watchable but did not live up to the books hype. Clunky is a good word to use to describe the film (and the Da Vinci Code).
Its no Silence of the Lambs.
Oscar talk for Noomi Rapace
Cant believe this thread isnt a lot bigger, just watched this film. It is superb. Dark gritty and interesting. Love the two main characters especially Lisbeth. yes its got subtitles and that puts a lot of people off (myself included) but its well worth it.
Its just that I am dyslexic and I cannot read fast enough!

Tesla Tumbles as Outlook Cut, Loan May Need to Be Amended
Tesla Motors Inc., the electric-car maker led by Elon Musk, fell the most in eight months after cutting its revenue outlook for the third quarter because of supplier shortcomings and other delays in accelerating production of its Model S sedan.
Tesla slid 9.8 percent to $27.66 at the close in New York, the biggest decline since Jan. 13. The company, based in Palo Alto, California, said in a regulatory filing today that it expects $44 million to $46 million in third-quarter sales, compared with the $83.1 million average of 12 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer Musk last week in an interview declined to confirm that the company will deliver 5,000 of its Model S sedans this year. Tesla now expects to deliver 200 to 225 Model S cars in the third quarter and 2,500 to 3,000 in the fourth. Tesla forecast that gross margin will turn positive in the fourth quarter as production accelerates.
"Elon Musk is very concerned about quality," said Alan Baum, principal of auto-industry forecaster Baum & Associates in West Bloomfield, Michigan. "He's been driving every vehicle off the line. That's an indicator of how important that quality issue is to him. He's going to deal with those quality issues before the vehicles are out the door."
The company said in its filing that its "main focus is on quality, we have methodically increased our Model S production at a rate slower than we had earlier anticipated. Certain suppliers have experienced delays in meeting our demand and we continue to focus on supplier capabilities and constraints."
The electric-car maker also said it's making an all-new car "with new employees using new equipment." Tesla now forecasts full-year revenue of $400 million to $440 million, down from $560 million to $600 million.
Quality Concern
Quality issues tied to suppliers have dogged Fisker Automotive Inc.'s Karma, which failed to win a recommendation from Consumer Reports. The magazine's tests showed flaws in the luxury plug-in hybrid's interior design and reliability.
"Tesla is mindful of what's happened with Fisker and they're very concerned that there are no hiccups in their launch," Baum said.
The company continues to "expect to be close to free cash flow break-even at the end of 2012's fourth quarter," Jeff Evanson, a company spokesman, said in an e-mail.
Already the company's largest shareholder, Musk may buy 33,311 more shares, the company said in a related filing. Tesla, whose investors include Toyota Motor Corp. and Daimler AG, said it now expects to exceed its plan to produce 20,000 of the electric cars next year, when it projected it would earn its first profit.
Energy Department
The company amended its loan agreement with the U.S. Energy Department and may need to do so again if it fails to raise enough money from investors.
"We currently anticipate that without raising capital in addition to this offering, we would need to seek an amendment from the DOE to modify the total liabilities to stockholder equity covenant for the quarter ending March 31, 2014, and the two subsequent quarters," the company said in the filing.
Tesla has said it plans to begin repaying its Energy Department loans in the fourth quarter. There are no changes to payment terms, Evanson said in the e-mail.
CFO's Comments
"Given the growth of Tesla and as they look at our business plan and see the amount of cash we will generate, they would like to explore possibilities that would result in a repayment earlier than 10 years, when we are in a financially sound situation and have access to multiple capital markets alternatives," Deepak Ahuja, Tesla's chief financial officer, said today in a phone interview.
In a separate filing, Tesla said it plans to sell 4.34 million additional shares and expects to receive net proceeds of $128.3 million, or $147.6 million if the underwriter, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full.
An additional offering "could alleviate capital concerns that have increased in recent quarters," Amir Rozwadowski, a Barclays Plc analyst, said in a report today in which he restated his overweight rating on the shares.
"While the company's reduced near-term production outlook does elevate concerns on its ability to ramp manufacturing, we do not believe it is wholly unexpected," Rozwadowski said, owing to the company's "aggressive" production schedule for 2012's fourth quarter.

Théodoros Thomopoulos, MD; Gilles Mentha, MD; Christian Toso, MD, PhD
A 67-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital because of a 1-year history of intermittent right upper quadrant pain associated with anorexia and weight loss (5 kg in 6 months). Her medical history was significant for a vulvar epidermoid carcinoma (T3G2N0) 6 years ago that had been treated with vulvectomy, radiotherapy, and curietherapy. She was, thus far, free of recurrence. Ten years ago, she also underwent a complicated cholecystectomy requiring common bile duct exploration, which was not performed at our institution (the operative records were not available). Owing to her chronic abdominal pain and history of cancer, the patient underwent a positron emission tomographic/computed tomographic scan that showed a 1-cm lesion with a central fluid density that was enhanced with a contrast injection and was hypermetabolic on positron emission tomographic images of the surface of segment VI of the liver (Figure 1 and Figure 2). On admission, the patient was afebrile, with normal vital signs. The results of an abdominal physical examination were also normal, revealing only a slight right upper quadrant tenderness. The white blood cell count, the C-reactive protein level, and the liver/pancreatic function test result were within normal ranges.

No Death In Love - Enslaved (PS3)
I think this was an underrated game. The ending is amazing. This song plays during the credits.
Demon's Souls - Demon's Souls (PS3)
The opera singing is creepy and awesome at the same time.
Main Theme - Batman Arkham City (PS3)
Fits batman perfectly. Sounds like Danny Elfman's work.
Blinded By Light - Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
The battle theme. The game was so off from regular FF's but this battle music is one of the best in the series.

I'll be there.
February 12, 2003, 11:25 AM
If it quits raining, and the bays have enough time to drain, my crew and I will be there.
February 15, 2003, 09:51 AM
See you there after Norco. BTW, was there on Friday and it was relatively dry.
February 15, 2003, 06:27 PM
Yup, Skunk & I made it to Prado for IDPA this AM. I was really pressed for time & couldn't finish. One of the local PD's were there qualifying and getting in our way :( Skunk was actively asking around for ya Beorn. All & all tho, I had fun (and isn't that 1/2 the battle?) :D
February 15, 2003, 07:29 PM
Now I know what it's like to have a loaded gun pointed in my direction.
February 15, 2003, 08:39 PM
Beorn and I were there. Had a good time, I like the courses they ran and how they ran them. I had some problems with my pistol ( think its a magazine prob). As you said was fun and thats all that really matters.
PS Beorn was the biggest guy there. (he usually is)
February 15, 2003, 09:21 PM
Yep, Wilhelm and I were there alright.
It was really cool. I enjoyed the stages a great deal. I'm used to only doing 4 stages, so 8 was double the fun.
The group we were in had the full gamut of shooters (and probably most of the revolver shooters). Speaking of which, they were a Japanese couple, and they kicked some serious butt with those revolvers!
I wasn't sure how to ask who was who ("excuse me, but are you Skunkabilly?"). And Wilhelm had to scoot pretty soon after shooting.
But, yeah, I was the really, really big guy in the gray vest with the black baseball cap on (I suppose I was the biggest person there Wilhelm).
I will most certainly be back. And I'm not sure how doing an indoor shoot at Oceanside this upcoming Sunday will compete now that I've been at Prado.
Look forward to seeing everyone next month (Oceanside IDPA is going to take that month off; many of them are going to the AZ match instead).:D
February 15, 2003, 10:01 PM
Yeah, good time for the most part, which is the main reason I go. I wasn't too happy we had to stop & wait for the PD guys to do their thing before we could do ours....it made for way to much down time! :scrutiny: Plus, they were for the most part irresponsible in their gun safety & handling habits.
February 16, 2003, 01:53 AM
I don't think I'll be back for a very long time.
February 16, 2003, 01:58 AM
Why? I wish I could have made it but the match at Norco ran longer than I expected and I also started to feel a bit under the weather.
February 16, 2003, 02:01 AM
I'm more of an IPSC guy I guess. Ron and Nora's (IPSC style steel matches) are the BEST but I have other commitments on Sunday. They said I should come out after church tomorrow and shoot later (nice folks) but my tactical budget is dried up for this month.
Maybe bad experience today, I didn't really enjoy having guns pointed at me.
February 16, 2003, 03:10 PM
I'm really sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as you could have Skunkabilly.
And 10-ring, now that you mention it, the PD guys were a bit flippant in their gun handling...
I'm not sure if anyone would agree, but if'n they had been civilians, some of the things I saw them do would get them "an early lunch."
A word to all at Prado for next time... If you see a really, really big (ala SUMO sized) white guy with a moustache, goatee and kinda closely cropped hair (probably wearing a vest), ask him "are you Beorn?" It will probably be me.

You know, I think I may have bumped into you during one of the many "line breaks" we had. I was the guy in gray & black Dickies jacket, drk blue watch cap & blue ear muffs.
Maybe next time!
February 16, 2003, 08:56 PM
10-ring and I had guys on our squad shooting through hard cover at targets and no one seemed to really mind. Frustrating for the rest of us who try to play by the rules in the spirit of the game.
Not that winning is all that matters, but cheating is for gunfights, not for games.
February 16, 2003, 10:40 PM
Yeah, what was up w/ cancer man (smoked a cigar ALL DAY)? No matter how many times he asked "hard cover, right?" He still shot through it w/ no penalty.
i think I'm going back to Prado Tuesday & complaining...The more I think it over, the more upset I'm getting...Really bad form yesterday! :cuss: :fire: :banghead: :scrutiny:
February 17, 2003, 01:12 PM
10-ring did you hear when the guy spanked me to doing the walkthru with my hands up a la IPSC? :D I don't know if he was kidding or not since he knows I shoot IPSC. Old habits die hard! Oops :o
Shooting through hard cover didn't seem to be much of a violation though :rolleyes:
February 17, 2003, 05:34 PM
Yeah, I didn't understand why they (the RO's) were so strict on the competitors re: procedure and allowing the LEO's to conduct themselves in such a careless manner. What's up with that? Trying to keep the yellow man down? :scrutiny:
One standard for all!

Yeah, I didn't understand why they (the RO's) were so strict on the competitors re: procedure and allowing the LEO's to conduct themselves in such a careless manner. What's up with that? Trying to keep the yellow man down?
ROR Actually the ROs were the club shooters and enforce a high standard on everyone else--as they should. They don't work for the range but take their own time and make extra effort to make sure the match goes well.
I heard comments from other of the IDPA shooters on the ...ahem... unnecessarily dangerous environment that was created. Didn't stick around to see what happened.
Best way to win a gunfight (or a shooting) is to avoid being there.
February 19, 2003, 12:33 AM
Spoke w/ the guys in charge today. Told them I was really disappointed in the way the PD's total disregard for safety. Long story short, my concerns are being addressed by the owner of the facility, the RO & the peopel that run the IDPA matches. I was assured that safety will no longer be compromised.

The Berkeley County School Board is considering a policy change concerning who can serve as a volunteer coach along Berkeley County sidelines.
Or more specifically, who would not be allowed there, on the bench, courtside, and in dugouts for the districts varsity and JV athletic teams.
Dad coaches, or any parent of a varsity or JV athlete currently serving as a volunteer coach would be exiled from the dugout to the grandstands.
The school board is considering a revision of our volunteer coachs policy that will no longer allow parents of varsity and junior varsity athletes to serve as volunteer coaches, said BCSD school board chairman Kent Murray.
We have heard several concerns from around the district regarding volunteer coaches who are parents of students on their respective teams.
Every school that has a parent serving as a volunteer coach has reported problems. Changing the districts policy is something we have discussed and are considering.
While no action was taken at the boards May 27 meeting in Moncks Corner, Murray did acknowledge the current policy is being closely reviewed.
Its going to take us a month at least, Murray said. There was no vote taken during executive session.
Should the volunteer coach policy be revised the coaching staffs of district sports teams would be decimated, especially at Berkeley High School where volunteer coaches comprise the majority of the staffs of the Stags baseball, softball, golf and tennis teams.
In our day your science teacher was your assistant coach, not your dad, Murray said.
Berkeley Athletic Director Jeff Cruce and the Stags coaches affected by this possible decision declined comment.
BCSD Athletics Director Charlie Davis also declined comment on the situation.

Jerome Oxman, founder of Oxman's Surplus in Santa Fe Springs, died of prostate cancer at his Buena Park home on Feb. 22. He was 97.
Oxman was born in Duluth, Minn., on June 23, 1915. He served in the Army during World War II, working a supply line for the Persian Gulf Command. After the war, he married Miriam Averbook of Superior, Wis., and the couple moved to California in 1947.
After working for a Vernon surplus store, Oxman opened his own mail-order business in 1961, specializing in military and aircraft surplus. He soon opened his business to the public and put his private collection, which he started in 1950, on display as an adjunct military museum. The museum currently features more than 1,500 items from World War I through the current Afghanistan campaign, including a B-25 bomber cockpit, jet fighter ejection seats and a Bullpup air-to-ground missile.
Oxman was involved with B'nai B'rith and ORT and supported Temple Beth Emet in Anaheim and Temple Beth Ohr in La Mirada. He was also past president of the Associated Surplus Dealers, the La Mirada Chamber of Commerce and La Mirada Meals on Wheels, and he served on the board of the La Mirada Community Hospital.
He is survived by wife Miriam; sons Brian, Murray and Jason; 4 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.
A memorial will be held at 2 p.m. March 24 at Oxman's Surplus, 14128 E. Rosecrans Ave., Santa Fe Springs.

Many neighborhoods (but not all) in and around the Annapolis area are "water access". This means that if you purchase a home in the community that you have access to the water. Access can be to the Severn River, the South River, Back Creek, Spa Creek or any of a dozen other inlets and bays along the Chesapeake Bay. Sometimes access is an established area that is well maintained and sometimes it's not. Many water access communities have beaches, boat ramps, communities piers and boat slips. Access is usually regulated and sometimes monitored. Water access gives everyone who lives in the community (but not outsiders) an opportunity to use the inlets, creeks, rivers and the Bay that makes living along the Chesapeake Bay so wonderful.
Water View
Water view means that you can see the water. Water views come in many variations, from limited to full all out spectacular views. My favorite spin on a water view is the "seasonal water view" which sometimes translates into "you can see the water only when and if the leaves fall off the trees and before they grow back" and is sometimes called a "winter water view". Water views can be that water you see between two homes, the water you see across the rooftops of the houses across the street, and from time-to-time it the water you see down at the end of the street when you stand out in front of the house in the middle of the road!!!
There are no "view rights" in Maryland. So, if you live across the street from the water and you've got a great view of the water over the summer cottage across the street, there's no guarantee that you'll always be able to look out, across, and over the house. Your water view might be wiped out in one summer when the "waterfront tear-down" gets torn down and a new multi-level home is build on the footprint of the old cottage. There went the view!!!
A waterfront home is what many buyers are looking for when they come to Annapolis. Waterfront homes come in a wide variety of styles and price ranges, from tear-downs to multi-million dollar mansions, with shallow water to deep water, with and without piers, with and without the need for flood insurance. Waterfront along the Chesapeake Bay is highly desirable and often has a deep open vista. Along the creeks and rivers, a deep vista can be hard to find and the farther up the creek or river you go, the shallower the water and the view. The waterfront can also be cluttered. You can find older "camp and cottage" communities that have undergone decades of transformations from summer cottages to fully renovated year-round homes. The homes on either can be quintessential waterfront tear-downs to new construction on old cottage foot-prints. The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area regulations determine just what can be built within the 1,000-foot setback (please visit the Critical Areas Commission website for details).
Deep water around Annapolis usually means 4-plus feet of water that is deep enough where you can keep a sailboat in the water with a shallow draft or shoal draft keel. Powerboats often need two-plus feet of water for small runabouts and deep water for near-shore and off-shore cruisers and fishing boats. Many piers have lifts which are often capable of lifting 10,000 lbs. and sometimes more out of the water. There are a few waterfront homes with covered boat houses but this isn't the norm along the waterfront. Deep water is coveted and often hard to find and comes with an expensive pricetag.
When you purchase a waterfront home, you lender will request a flood certificate that states the flood zone status of the property. Depending on the lender and the flood zone, you'll likely need flood insurance in addition to hazard insurance on the property. Hurricane Isabel in September 2003 did significant damage along the Chesapeake Bay and many homes were damaged and flooded. When considering purchasing a waterfront home, it might be important to note when the property was last renovated. There are many homes that were rehabbed in the twelve to eighteen months following the hurricane. Ask your agent to ask the homeowner what damage – if any – was the result of that hurricane and verify with you insurance agent who might be able to check the Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE) to see what claims if any were filed on the property.
Riparian and Non-riparian Waterfront
Riparian waterfront is where you own property that has water (around Maryland a creek or river) as one of its boundaries. Riparian rights refers to the rights of the property owner has to the use or restrict others' use and access to that water.
In Maryland buyers can find both riparian and non-riparian waterfront. Non-riparian waterfront usually means there is water but access to/from the water is over community (and occasionally county) property. A non-riparian waterfront property might have a road or community beach between the house and the water's edge. Typically non-riparian waterfront means that the owner doesn't have a private pier or dock on the water – although there are many expectations. Cape St. Clair is a good example where the community retains the riparian rights to the water with an approximate 10-foot buffer between the property line and the water line but allows homeowners to construct and maintain private docks and piers along the creek. Occasionally a homeowner purchases the land between their property and the water and converts the home from non-riparian to riparian waterfront via a "lot consolidation letter". There can be property tax implications to doing this. So one should consult with an attorney or qualified professional before undertaking this action.

In the mid-1950s Soviet cinema audiences were used to a heavy diet of propagandistic film fare produced under state control. In 1957, taking advantage of an ideological thaw that followed Stalin's death, the director Mikhail Kalatozov released The Cranes are Flying. The film was seen by 28 million in the Soviet Union, and went on to become the only Soviet or Russian film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
Most captivating of all to the film's audiences was the performance of an unknown Russian actress in her early twenties, Tatiana Samoilova. She played Veronika, a hospital worker whose fiancé

A young mother is hunched forward in her seat, facing the aisle. Her expression never changes: Her eyes are shut, seemingly trapped inside of an invisible fog, while her mouth hangs wide open.
Her body droops forward, like a dying sunflower.
A little girl's voice cuts through the din. "Mama," she says. "Mama!"
She reaches across the aisle in her pink jacket and tries to use her tiny hand to prop up her mother's head.

GRAND RAPIDS -- A Kent County committee is willing to accept free money for its farmland preservation program but is uncertain how far it will go to leverage private and government grants.
On Tuesday, the committee recommended the County Commission accept a $50,000 grant from the Lowell Area Community Fund that probably would help preserve 134.5 acres in Vergennes Township, but that money comes with no matching funds requirement. Still pending are grants of $250,000 from the Frey Foundation and $292,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, both of which require matching county funds.
"There's a lot hinging on this year's budget in terms of funding for the program," said Commissioner Jim Talen, a Grand Rapids Democrat who is chairman of a committee investigating sustainable funding sources for the program. "I hope we can figure how to come up with the money that we need to leverage the federal funds and the private funds that have been offered."
The county's purchase of development rights program pays farmers the difference between the development and agricultural value of their land in exchange for guarantees that it will be preserved as farmland.
When the Frey Foundation grant stalled in June, officials said they hoped to resolve by late summer whether the county could afford its $350,000 price tag. The grant, which would be paid over three years, required the county to earmark $350,000 for the program during the same timeframe or identifying a permanent funding source in 2013.
Talen said his committee has considered a number of options for long-term funding, from tax increment financing that's not currently allowed by law to requiring local municipalities to provide funding to qualify farms within their boundaries for the program. He said his committee hopes to make a recommendation by year's end.
Critics on the commission have said they resent area foundations trying to dictate their budgets. Some opponents of the preservation program have called for a countywide millage vote in the belief that it would be rejected.
Talen said his committee hasn't discussed a millage.
"That's on the end of our agenda," he said. "We really want to look at all the other, more viable options first. I don't think anybody wants to go that way."
Many believe the commission might wait until November to decide on the Frey grant, when the 2011 budget is nearer approval. Last year, the county committed $1 million to the preservation program, but that carried the condition that the county could afford it.
Officials are sifting through $172.6 million in proposed general fund spending for 2011 and face a $9.5 million budget gap -- similar to the 2010 deficit when the equivalent of more than 80 full-time positions were eliminated.
The $292,000 USDA grant requires a $286,585 county match.
Gabe Hudson, chairman of the county Agriculture Preservation Board that oversees the program, said it needs county funding -- or the private sources that were hoped would sustain it might give up on it.
"When the county says, 'we have a program, but we're not going to fund it' -- what does that tell the private individuals?" Hudson said. "I know from sitting on the board for the past three years that the foundations are asking: 'When is the county going to step up?'"

Invented by Max Factor in 1930 for the movie goddesses, lip gloss has come of age and experienced a popularity revival.
Often the first product used by pre-teen girls as an introduction to makeup, its shaken off this image and is once again considered a "must have" beauty item for grown-ups.
Frequently infused with SPF, moisturising agents and ingredients that make the lips look softer and plumper, it has evolved and changed with the times.
The clear, liquid lacquered, strawberry-flavoured gloss from childhood is a distant memory and has been replaced by long-lasting versions in every colour shade imaginable.
And even though the fruity names have stuck, the comparisons stop there.
We have an Inka Lip Whips valued at $32.99 to giveaway. Send in your name and contact details to firstname.lastname@example.com by October 18.

That clip is a great example of the intellectual bankruptcy of the school system. Calling Colombus a murderer, Washington a slave trader, Hitler evil, with no regard for chronological context associated with their time and space.
The power of propaganda is that it uses hierarchical pedestals to validate itself.
If the American system wants to present a point of view to the public about its relations with China, it uses the State Department to put out a statement.
The contents of the statement are less important than the statement itself.
Its source gives it authority and Americans (as gullible and lazy as they are) tend to accept the State Department's view.
This is propaganda 101 and people in the academic establishment, many of which are globalist funded and run to serve the indoctrination of the youth to collectivist new world order ends, use this very method on impressionably stupid kids who believe them.
So at the end of the day you have poorly educated, reactionary little cunts like that kid, with no capability for critical thought being fed a long line of bullshit while getting himself in debt for the rest of his life so that he can learn revisionist, biased history from a bunch of insulated inbred twats.

The likes of Hernán Cortés wouldn't be who he is or considered a conquistador if he didn't act the way he did to Mexico and Central America. I wouldn't quite put Christopher Columbus on the same bus as him though.. atleast i wasn't taught that way..

I saw a special where they said he was really Spanish and he was confused with a different sailor who had a similar name from Italy. They think it was the Spanish guy who was the historical figure because the guy from Italy was a very inexperienced Sailor who most likely would have not been entrusted with 3 expensive ships.

I was supposed to be writing a fun book about celebrity interviews and movie trivia. Somehow, I wound up with a book about cancer called "The Sum of My Parts."
Even stranger: People keep telling me they laughed out loud while reading it. I take that as a compliment although there was a time not very long ago when I couldn't see anything remotely humorous about my situation.
That's why I originally wanted to do a memoir about what it's like to be an entertainment reporter: the things you see and hear, the behind-the-scenes stories you don't put in print, the adventures you can have while trying to get a story.
And that was exactly what I was working on earlier this year. Everything was going extremely smoothly — until I hit that "stop" sign in the middle of Memory Lane. I couldn't avoid it or go around it: If I was going to tell my life story, I would have to write about the cancer experience, much as I would have preferred not to.
Shortly before my 39th birthday, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer, a disease that usually strikes men in their teens and 20s. I was so far outside the traditional age group for the disease that some people didn't believe I could possibly have it. But I knew that was the case practically every moment of every day for three mystifying, sometimes miserable months.
At the time, I was an arts reporter and critic at The Kalamazoo Gazette. I also coordinated our weekly entertainment magazine. I had been at The Gazette for four years by that time, and I had never taken a sick day.
I was too busy to be sick. Or so I thought.
I knew something was wrong when I awakened on Easter morning in 2002 and felt that weird heaviness for the first time. Even so, I kept trying to convince myself that this was nothing out of the ordinary. It might be a hernia. Maybe an allergic reaction.
It wasn't until two months later that I realized I had to do something immediately. I had gone to Chicago for the two-day press junket for "Road to Perdition," and it should have been a blast. Tom Hanks and Paul Newman were there (and so was a then-semi-obscure British actor named Daniel Craig), and there were fancy luncheons to attend and cocktail parties that provided great networking opportunities.
But instead of enjoying Chicago, I was spending most of my time in my room, eating leftover deep-dish pizza and feeling lousy and wondering if what I had was going to kill me.
Are you laughing yet? I definitely was not. Around the time I got the diagnosis, I remember seeing a testicular cancer forum on the Internet that had a special section devoted to "Humor." The heading said something like "believe it or not, there is a lighter side to this." I remember being disgusted; nine years later, I must admit some of the experiences I went through were so bizarre and unexpected that all I could do was see the peculiar comedy in them.
When I had to inform the people around me about my situation, some of the questions I got — many of them from people who should know better — were priceless. I know the friend who blurted out "Are you going to have a colostomy bag?" did not mean to offend, but when you say the words "colostomy bag" in the kind of tone you might use to say "ptomaine poisoning," let's just say the subtext is not too "sub" at that point. (No, I did not have a colostomy bag, by the way.)
Snappy response
Then there was the acquaintance who asked, in the voice of a kindly kindergarten teacher, "Are you ever going to be able to go to the bathroom again?" How badly I wanted to answer, "No, those days are over. But now I can move to an apartment without a bathroom, and those are so much cheaper!" (Yes, I have gone to the bathroom a few times in the past nine years.)
The all-time best response came after I carefully and thoroughly explained to a friend on the phone what was going on and how it would be treated. There was a brief silence and a sigh on the other end. "Now," this so-called adult began, cautiously. "Are you sure you're not going to die?"
"What?" I asked.
"This is a lot for me to handle," my friend huffed. "I'm going through a lot right now, and I just don't think I can handle this."
Sadly, technology has not yet brought us to the point where we can slap some sense into someone via cellphone. Hurry up, science.
Admittedly, I did not find any of this side-splittingly hilarious at the time. But before long, when I looked back on how ignorant/insensitive/obnoxious some people had been, all I could do was chuckle. I knew none of them meant to sound the way they did; faced with an unexpected shock, they had reacted without taking the time to think through their responses. I'm sure I've been guilty of the same foolishness, that in trying to express concern and sympathy I only succeeded in saying something utterly inane.
Ninety percent of the friends, family and co-workers I talked to were wonderful and said precisely what I needed to hear and gave me their support and best wishes. I remember how secure and optimistic they made me feel, and I will always be grateful for that.
But I am just as indebted to the clods who barked, "So, is this some kind of sexually transmitted disease?" (It definitely is not.) These well-meaning but graceless souls made the impossible happen: They managed to show me that the website was right — there was a lighter side to all of this, if only I was willing to look for it.
In the book, I write: "Several people had told me things like 'your courage and strength are an inspiration to me,' which was quite nice to hear, but an honor that was completely undeserved on my part. I had a tumor that was almost certainly cancerous, and I had a choice: I could have surgery to remove it, or I could let it continue to grow and permit the cancer to spread to my lungs, brain, liver, bones or wherever. The decision was not difficult, and it definitely did not require much in the way of bravery. It was a simple matter of self-preservation."
No courage needed
Finding the "courage" to face the disease came fairly easily. Being able to put it all in perspective took much longer and was far more complicated. Writing it down was equally tough. I doubt I would have gotten anywhere with the book if I hadn't recently read Rosanne Cash's "Composed," Wade Rouse's "It's All Relative" and Frank Bruni's "Born Round," three excellent memoirs that each addressed troubling material in compelling ways; they gave me confidence to put my own struggles into words.
We like to believe that long periods of time can cushion unpleasant memories and make them easier to examine. Although that was true of certain incidents, there were others that still were exceedingly painful to face.
Yet there were just as many hours when I found myself remembering funny moments, like having to wrap a parka around my waist in August to keep the seat belt from pressing down on the staples along my thigh, or the absurdity of being charged $40 for "recovery room incidentals" that turned out to be nothing more than a single vanilla wafer and a Dixie cup full of Sprite.
For years, I insisted no one would want to hear about what I went through, much less pay for the privilege. Testicular cancer is not something most people want to even think about, much less discuss. I know I had never talked about it until the time came when I couldn't not talk about it.
I didn't think the book would be published; when it was, I never imagined it would sell. Now, thousands of readers from around the world have made me eat my words — and, for once in my life, I am thrilled to lose an argument.
Many of the comments I have received have been astonishing. I think my favorite came from a man who sent me a one-word review through Facebook: "Life-changing," he wrote. (I wish I could recall anyone ever using that term to describe one of my movie reviews.)
"The Sum of My Parts" is available as a Kindle Singles title through Amazon.com. If you do not have a Kindle reader, you can download a Kindle application for your computer or phone on the book's Amazon page.

August 23, 1999
On a moonlit night in late May of 1865, one of the Confederacy's most successful blockade-runners in Civil War history, the Denbigh, entered a shallow channel near Galveston Bay on the Texas Coast.
The elusive vessel, a wonder of speed and efficiency, tried to sneak past the ships of the Union Navy and bring military supplies to the last outpost of the Confederate South, but she ran aground and became stuck on a sand bar.
When the sun rose the next morning, the helpless ship, known for the previous two years as "that bold rascal," was boarded by raiding parties and then burned, sinking slowly into the sand and mud.
The Denbigh was never really lost, but over the years, it became just another anonymous wreck until the fall of 1994, when an historian came looking for clues of the ship's whereabouts.
Using Civil War-era charts of the entrance to Galveston Bay and an 1880 Corps of Engineers map, investigators from the Institute of Nautical Archeology, based at Texas A&M University, located and confirmed the wreck's identity three years later.
The Denbigh's new existence as an underwater archaeological site under scientific investigation began. The Denbigh Project is an effort by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) to identify, document, and preserve the wreck of the Denbigh.
Staff anticipates that completion of the project will take several years, as the size of the wreck necessitates the use of diving archaeologists to excavate its remains. The project, headed by Barto Arnold, INA's director of Texas operations, is in its second year of operation.
This summer's excavation team included a former Bothell resident, Eric Van Velzen, a 1988 graduate of Bothell High School. Following his graduation, Van Velzen spent seven years with the U.S. Marines and then joined the Combined Caesarea Expeditions in Israel, where he worked for three summers on excavating a harbor built by King Herod.
"I really enjoyed my experiences in Israel, so when I received an e-mail about this Civil War project, I jumped at the chance to apply for a position on the team," says Van Velzen. He was accepted and has just finished his two month stint as the Denbigh Project's Diving Officer.
"Working underwater adds a whole new dimension to the excavation," comments Van Velzen. "The ocean is a really dynamic environment in which to work, and the conditions are constantly changing. There was very low visibility in the Galveston harbor and it added to the difficulty of excavating underwater."
Van Velzen found the work interesting, even though the diving conditions were poor. He says, "I knew nothing about iron ship construction, and now I have learned so much more about this specialized area. Also, I was fortunate to be on site when several of the descendents of the ship's crew came to visit. Having living connections to the history of the Denbigh was a big plus."
Jeff Erskine, great-great-grandson of Robert Horlock, a fourteen-year-old captain's boy on the Denbigh in 1864 and 1865, came to view the excavation site, as did Skip Pickering, the great-great grandson of the Denbigh's co-owner, C.W. Pickering. C.W. Pickering may have been acting as captain the night the ship ran aground.
Van Velzen has been accepted to Texas A&M University in Galveston this fall where he will be majoring in maritime studies, concentrating on underwater archaeology. He is interested in this type of archaeology because it combines his passion for diving and his fascination with history.
"You never know what you will find when you start looking," explains Van Velzen. "You go in with a whole series of hypotheses to prove, and sometimes they work out and sometimes not, but either way, you begin to get answers to questions about history."
Excavations of the Denbigh have revealed that the iron structures of the ship's hull and deck supports are almost entirely intact. The INA team is digging through over nine feet of mud and clay to reach the bottom of the hull in an area just aft of the engine room. A layer containing artifacts is expected just above the bottom of the hull.
Project director Arnold hopes to recover hundreds of artifacts of all sizes, including one of the ship's engines, and have them preserved in museum exhibit.
"This is a particularly good example of how nautical archaeology combines with history to produce new insights," says Arnold. "The Denbigh is a tremendous resource for heritage, education, and tourism. The South may not rise again, but the Denbigh will, in spirit, at least."
Extensive information on the Denbigh Project and the ship herself are available at the INA website at http://nautarch.tamu.edu/PROJECTS/denbigh/denbigh.html.

By the time Sir Richard Broadbent, the chairman of Tesco, had corralled his nine non-executive directors for a conference call on Thursday, it was already 7pm. No executive directors were involved — a salutary reminder of the exodus of top talent from Tesco in recent years for those listening in.
Tesco's board has only one executive director, Philip Clarke, the outgoing chief executive. Dave Lewis will join as chief executive on Monday and Alan Stewart will become finance director in December.
By the end of the meeting, which was wrapped up within an hour, the board had ratified the second profit

Speech developement :
Only knows babbling most of the time.
Can only say out 2-3 words like ' mam mam' ( food), ' di ' ( Di Di ).
I read somewhere saying that learning to walk often slows down languange developement for a while. So I think he will not learn to talk so soon.
Started to call me ' Ma Ma' this few days.
Developed some bad habits..
Ah ha! You guess what is the bad habit?
Check it out..
Ta Da..
Tik Tak, Tik Tak, on and off, on and off, hu hu, I like to play this......

There is not much to update, just a bit more achievements in terms of speech development and eating pattern.
Eating pattern:
Yan Yan takes more solids food than previous. She used to reject eating porridge all this while but lately she eats small portion of porridge. Yan Yan is still a picky eater, only eats food that she likes. She has 1 to 3 small meals a day. The portions are about 1/3 of an adults serving size. If she eats too little, I will worry she is not enough full and will give her another 3 to 4 oz of milk.
Her appetite will increase only when she sees her milk and always ask us to prepare a full bottle of milk for her. She will cry and yell if we only give her half bottles of milk.
Speech developement:
She starts to use short sentence in her conversation, like ' I want to watch TV' , 'I want to drink milk milk', ' mummy, don't angry ok' , 'where is my chut chut (pacifier)' and others.
She can sing a couple of songs and most the songs are nursery rhymes.
Can recite A to Z and 1-12 but still can not recognise them. Only can recognise A, B, C, D and O. I have started taught her to learn to recognise alphabets since last week. She keeps saying that she knows everything and refuse to learn from me.
Bowel movements : Normally pass her bowel everyday but the poo poo is hard and dry most of the time. I have introduce prune juice to her this morning and hope it works on her.
Weaning off her pacifier : It seems like she is not ready to wean off her pacifier. She is still sucking fierce on her pacifier, when she sleeps, watches TV. She will cry, yell and gets so cranky when I take away her pacifier. I have give up weaning off her pacifier.

- Sarah's Daddy and Mommy said...
Maybe it takes some time to wean off the pacifier from Yan Yan. Take it slow...
So normally she likes to drink milk than solid food? Sarah is totally opp with her.
I can see that you are using something to cover the switch so that Heng Heng is not able to play with it. Was it a paper?
Yes I think is now the time that Heng Heng likes to open the fridge. Last time Sarah also likes it.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 News Release: BOS 2001-184
Monday, December 10, 2001
Contact: John Chavez
Phone: (617) 565-2075
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration today proposed penalties totaling $64,100 to Yank Waste Company, Inc. of Albany, N.Y., following an investigation into a fatal accident that claimed the life of one worker on June 5, 2001.
OSHA Area Director John Tomich said that the tragedy could have been averted had the company utilized lockout/tagout procedures when an employee entered the shredder. The worker entered the shredder to perform routine cleaning before the machine was de-energized.
Lockout/tagout procedures should be followed during maintenance or repair operations to a machine. They ensure that power sources are locked in the "off " position and clearly marked with a tag so other workers will not turn the machine on by mistake.
"There is no reason why an employer should fail to recognize such a basic hazard as lockout/tagout." Tomich said. "The standard is clear, the hazard is very real, and the unfortunate consequences in this case were tragic, in that the accident was preventable."
OSHA also cited the company for allegedly failing to provide employees with adequate training in safe energy control procedures, failing to document energy control training, unsafe stacking of materials, inadequate maintenance of powered industrial trucks, use of an unguarded portable grinder, and employee exposure to electrical hazards. OSHA issued a willful violation to the firm for its failure to use group lockout/tagout procedures. Other citations were classified as serious.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with an intentional disregard for, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the OSHA Act and its regulations. A serious violation is defined as a condition that exists where there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm may result.
The firm has until December 21 to contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The OSHA Albany Area Office, 401 New Karner Road, telephone number 518-464-6742 conducted the investigation

The following case of a convalescent cholera carrier is one of about sixty-two cholera eases and carriers, recorded at the New York Quarantine Laboratory in the bacteriologic examination of Italian immigrants during the months of July, August and September.
Since, from the time of the initial symptoms to the last positive examination, the interval was only fifty-four days, which period fell short of the longevity of several reported cases, the main point of interest in this case attaches not so much to the longevity of the cholera vibrios in the intestinal tract as to the irregularity of their presence in the stool.
The case occurred in a sailor aboard a transatlantic liner sailing from Genoa and Italian way ports. August 4, he presented himself to the ship's surgeon, complaining of vomiting and diarrhea. The symptoms were of such moderate nature that the ship's surgeon made the diagnosis of fireman's cramps,

[Solved] How To Remove Kepsy, Kepsy Removal
Kepsy is a malicious Trojan infection which tends to be distributed along the following channels: via emails, malicious web pages, Inter Relay Chat channels (IRC) and some peer-to-peer networks. Kepsy can infect legitimate processes and launch malicious software upon its activation and it will change the registry values, monitor your Internet surfing behavior and display popup ads on your computer system. Kepsy can cause random redirection problem and largely degrade computer performance. Kepsy also downloads additional components before the hackers get the remote access to the infected PC. So we recommend you to take all the necessary measures and delete Kepsy scareware immediately.
"Kepsy should be removed as early as possible. Click the "Remove this infection" button to download Kepsy removal tool."
Why Kepsy infection is highly dangerous
Kepsy is a rogue Anti-Spyware software. It usually spreads via Trojan infection. Kepsy displays many fake alert security warnings and may install additional trojans to your PC. Kepsy compromises your computer security and threatens your privacy.
How to identify Kepsy infection on your computer
Kepsy may use scare tactics or other aggressive marketing tactics to try to trick you into buying the licenced version of Kepsy software. Your browser settings and browser home page will be changed by Kepsy infection. Kepsy may show numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups. Kepsy will connect to the internet without your permission. Kepsy keeps track of your internet browsing data and sends your browsing history data to remote location servers, owned by hackers that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups and hijacked browser homepages. Changed or new icons and sometimes, Kepsy installs unwanted programs to a victim's computer without user's knowledge and consent. This can make your computer slower in performance and stability. Kepsy may produce many fake alert warnings, stating that your PC is infected with Trojans or other malwares that do not actually exist.
