'Downton Abbey' finale recap: Season 3, Episode 7
It's been a long, difficult third season for "Downton Abbey," and it wasn't too much for any of us to hope that the show might cruise calmly into a happy ending with this, the seventh and last episode of the season. Of course, this would be the point in the recap where I tell the four of you who've been able to sidestep spoilers for this episode to watch first and then come back. I would hate to be the person to blow the twist in this one for you, simply because it must have taken great effort to block out the hints and full-blown revelations that have been everywhere short of the nutrition labels for Wheetabix. There might even be one there, if you read the fine print.

Mail On Sunday Reacts to Hugh Grant's Accusation of Phone Hacking
Hugh Grant has taken a stand in Leveson Inquiry into press standards, and wasted no time in dragging another British tabloid into the phone hacking scandal. In his testimony on Monday, November 21, the "Music and Lyrics" actor suggested that Mail On Sunday might have hacked his phone. The tabloid, however, was quick to deny the allegations.
"The Mail on Sunday utterly refutes Hugh Grant's claim that they got any story as a result of phone hacking," a spokesman for the tabloid said in response. "In fact in the case of the story Mr Grant refers to the information came from a freelance journalist who had been told by a source who was regularly speaking to Jemima Khan."
On Monday, Grant told Lord Justice Leveson, "The Mail on Sunday ran an article in February 2007 saying that my relationship with my then-girlfriend Jemima Khan was on the rocks because of my persistent late-night flirtatious phone calls with a 'plummy voiced' studio executive from Warner Bros. And it was a bizarre story, completely untrue."
The "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" star added that the only explanation he could think of about how the tabloid "could possibly come up with such a bizarre, left-field story" was the voice messages left by a friend's middle-aged female assistant, whose voice "could only be described as plummy", on his mobile telephone.
Joining the family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowle at the inquiry, Grant also suggested that a newspaper might have broken into his London flat in 1995 after he was caught with a prostitute in Hollywood. "The day after that a detailed account of what the interior of my flat looked like appeared in one of the British tabloid papers," he said.
"This was at a time when there was a lot of press outside all the time desperate to get in. It was the middle of the summer and I know they were listening," he continued. "It was four floors up and they could hear one or two of the rows I was having at the time, so I know they were desperate to get some kind of access."
Grant also stated in his testimony, "There has been a section of our press that has become allowed to become toxic over the last 20 or 30 years and its main tactic is by bullying and intimidation and blackmail. I think that that needs a lot of courage to stand up to and I think this country's had a historically good record standing up to bullies, and I think it's time the country found the courage to stand up to this bully now."

A man lying on the railroad tracks was run over by a Long Island Rail Road train last night, killed on the scene after appearing not to avoid the westbound train.
According to LIRR spokesman Sal Arena, a train was heading from Greenport to Ronkonkoma when it struck a man between 10:20 and 10:25 p.m. (more…)
You wouldn't want to see your teenage nephew's life derailed. You've watched him grow up. You know he's a smart kid with a ton of potential; he's just run into some trouble at home lately.
At this point, an arrest for, say, buying a case of beer with a fake ID — technically a felony — could ruin his chances of getting into college.
Now imagine you're a cop and that kid behind the wheel of the car you just stopped reminds you of your nephew — or son, or younger cousin. Maybe you try to do right by him. (more…)
In the wake of riots that erupted in Ferguson, Mo. this week after a grand jury declined to indict the police officer who shot and killed a black teenager, Michael Brown, local police chiefs offered their take on the case — and longstanding racial tensions nationwide between police departments and minority communities.
Peaceful protests were also being held at cities across the U.S., though none in this area. (more…)
Police chiefs and other top brass from agencies across the East End met this week to share information with one another on local gang activities during a meeting called by the Suffolk County District Attorney.
The three-hour meeting in Riverside Wednesday follows last month's gang shooting in a residential area of Southold, after which now five alleged members of MS-13 attacked two men from a rival gang with guns and a machete.
That incident, followed by much local and regional media coverage, has brought attention to the growing problem of gangs on the East End. (more…)
A pair of East End Drug Task Force raids carried out across Riverhead just one minute apart this morning netted six arrests for felony drugs offenses, Riverhead court officials and town police confirmed.
All six defendants — five of whom were arrested in the same apartment — were held on bail, authorities said.
At 6:17 a.m., authorities with the East End Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at 641 Doctors Path, Riverhead police said. Five people, including two locals, were arrested:
• Ebony Booker, 24, of Riverhead;
• Eric Ross, 22, of Flanders;
• Kotara Jackson, 32, of Mastic;
• Tashara Horsely, 19, of Mastic Beach;
• Marquis Miles, 21, who gave a North Carolina address.
All five people were charged with felonies for criminal possession of cocaine and arraigned in court Friday, a Riverhead Town court clerk said. Additionally, Mr. Ross was charged with misdemeanor drugs possession.
Ms. Jackson was remanded to jail without bail, according to the court. Bail for Ms. Horsely, Mr. Ross and Mr. Miles was set at $25,000. Ms. Booker was held on $5,000 bail.
One minute after the initial raid, at 6:18 a.m., police conducted a second search warrant sting at 415 Union Avenue, where Tywan Jones, 35, of Riverhead was arrested. He was charged with felony cocaine and weapons possession, a court clerk said.
He was held on $5,000 bail, the clerk said. All six defendants are due back in court on Monday.
Friday morning's raid came two days after state and local police swarmed a house on Lewis Street, arresting three people, including one Riverhead man.
A Suffolk County District Attorney's Office spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
Two shootings within two days rattled the North Fork last week, though police said the incidents are rare, especially in Southold Town.
Suspects have been caught in both cases. The four men (one from Aquebogue) who allegedly attacked two other men in Southold last Tuesday have been indicted by a grand jury on felony assault charges. Authorities say a fifth suspect may also have been involved. (more…)
A 28-year-old Flanders man was arrested on drug charges after an officer responded to a report of a domestic dispute at his home and found heroin, according to Southampton Town Police.

Adding another car to the blog's gloom train today...
This is the first time I've been so bleh about the next generation of consoles.
Normally, I can't contain my excitement. My mind races with so many questions: What new features will we get? What will developers bring to the table? How much will the graphics improve?
Yet I think about the PS4/720 and just...shrug. There are several reasons why.
Of all the generations of gaming I've lived through--going back to the SNES days--the current gen has been the least engaging. There have been amazing games, but none of the earth-shattering religious experiences I had with Devil May Cry 3, or Final Fantasy X, or Marvel vs. Capcom. After putting down $500 (!) on a fat PS3, only to wait years before a solid line-up of games emerged, I'm not willing to take the plunge on another new system right away.
Second, while graphics aren't everything, I do expect big improvements between generations. I'll keep expecting as much until we see Pixar-quality at 60fps. The problem (ironically) is that we're within striking distance of that goal, which means there won't be the kind of huge seismic shift in graphics we've gotten in the last few generations.
Instead, I expect something smaller scale. A notable improvement, but nothing epochal. That's not exciting enough to pay $300-400 for--especially when the GPU in both the PS4 and 720 will be based on AMD's 6670, which is just barely powerful enough to handle 1080p at 30 frames per second. Agni's Philosophy and Samaritan ran on cards that cost 5 times as much.
And that doesn't even get into how many developers can afford to tap into the extra power, especially without relying on the Hollywood model of more safe spinoffs and sequels. AAA games are stupidly expensive as it is.
Given that, I expect to see more of the same shifty bullshit we got this generation. Stuff like online passes and shady DLC practices (hi Capcom) are here to stay, with the prospect of $100 million dev costs for AAA titles becoming the norm. Can't say I'm looking forward to it.
So yeah. Anyone else with me on this? Or am I just being too pessimistic?

FRIONA - Louisa Wilson, 100, died Thursday, June 7.
There will be no services. Arrangements are by Blackwell Funeral Home of Friona.
Louisa Lydia Schlenker was born Sept. 25, 1906, to Charles and Amelia Schlenker near Des Moines, Iowa. When she was 2 months old, her parents and eight brothers and sisters moved to West Texas and homesteaded in the Rhea community. Louisa graduated from Friona High School and attended Normal College in Canyon. On April 25, 1925, she married Ralph Wilson of O'Donnell. They lived and farmed at Rhea until 1940, when they moved six miles west of Friona. Louisa and Ralph had one child, Mamie Lou.
Louisa was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and community leader. She was instrumental in helping Ralph farm and ranch for 69 years.
In 1942, she volunteered as a Girl Scout troop leader and that was the beginning of 57 happy years working with girls. As a result, the Girl Scout house was named in her honor. Her legacy continues to influence many lives.
She was a great cook who passed this joy to her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her collection of recipes has been enjoyed by many.
Louisa was famous for her ability to design and create seed pictures as well as other arts and crafts. She found great pleasure in quilting, and her hand-decorated Christmas cookies were masterpieces. She enjoyed sharing her artisanship with others.
She received the Woman of Year Award in 1960 and Woman of Distinction Award in 1999. Louisa was a member of Union Congregational Church.
Louisa lived a long and productive life and will be missed by all who knew her, especially her family.
She was preceded in death by her parents; five sisters; five brothers; and her husband, Ralph.
Survivors include her beloved daughter and son-in-law, Mamie Lou and Louis Welch; four grandchildren, Jan Welch Bogard, Gay Welch Jucha, Holly Welch Easley and Ralph Lynn Welch; six great-grandchildren, Mende Moore, Melanie Scott, Brandon Petree, Logan Bingham, Blaire Herring and Hayes Jones; eight great-great-grandchildren; and a sister, Helen Potts.
The family suggests memorials be to a favorite charity.

Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐊᑕᓈᕐᔪᐊᑦ (fonts required)) is a 2001 Inuktitut-language Canadian epic film directed by Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk and produced by his production company Isuma Igloolik Productions. It was the first feature film ever to be written, directed and acted entirely in Inuktitut. Set in the ancient past, the film retells an Inuit legend passed down through centuries of oral tradition.
Atanarjuat premiered at the 54th Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2001, and was released in Canada on April 12, 2002. A major critical success, Atanarjuat received international acclaim from critics and audiences and was nominated for numerous awards. It was the Canadian submission to the 74th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not nominated. It did, however, win numerous other accolades, including the Caméra d'Or (Golden Camera) prize at Cannes, and was named the best Canadian film of 2001 by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television at the Genie Awards. Atanarjuat was also a commercial success, becoming Canada's top-grossing release of 2002, outperforming the mainstream comedy Men with Brooms. It grossed more than US$5 million worldwide. In 2015, the Toronto International Film Festival named it greatest Canadian film of all time in a poll of filmmakers and critics; in the 2004 list, Atanarjuat placed fifth.

The film is set in Igloolik ("place of houses") in the Eastern Arctic wilderness at the dawn of the first millennium.[1]
The shaman's curse[edit]
The wind is blowing over a bleak snowy landscape while a man tries to herd away some marauding dogs. We hear the voice (over) of an old man singing a childish song. Inside a stone house a strange shaman by the name of Tungajuaq, who comes from up north, is singing playfully to the gathered community and camp leader Kumaglak. But among the spectators there are some mistrustful faces.
Flash forward to another day. Qulitalik is bidding goodbye to his sister Panikpak, wife of Kumaglak, promising to come if she calls for help in her heart. She gives him her husband's rabbit's foot for spiritual power. Qulitalik tells his sister, "Tulimaq is the one they'll go after now." It seems that Qulitalik is leaving to escape a threat, and the hope is that one day he will return to help. As Panikpak watches him leave, we hear a voice-over from a woman (which we will recognise later as the voice of Panikpak when she is older): "We never knew what he was or why it happened. Evil came to us like Death. It just happened and we had to live with it."
Flash back to the original scene in the stone house. The visitor and the camp leader Kumaglak are in a "friendly" spiritual duel involving binding in leather thongs. But Panikpak is startled when the stone lamp in front of her breaks in half, and, to the horror of those present, Kumaglak falls over dead. The visitor removes the leader's walrus-tooth necklace from Kumaglak's body, and, passing by Tulimaq, he puts the necklace around the neck of Sauri, the son of the murdered leader Kumaglak, saying, "Be careful what you wish for" (suggesting that Sauri's ambition had a part to play in events). Tulimaq leaves, shouting at Sauri "You helped him murder your own father!"
Time passes; the shaman's curse has poisoned the camp. Tulimaq, now the local laughing stock, is having trouble feeding his family because of "bad luck" hunting. But Panikpak secretly brings meat for Tulimaq's children, Amaqjuaq and Atanarjuat, hoping that one day they will grow strong and be able to make things right.
The rivals[edit]
Flash forward a couple of decades. Tulimaq's sons Amaqjuaq and Atanarjuat are now young men, excellent hunters, and they are a thorn in the side of the camp leader Sauri and his son Oki. One day, out on the ice, Oki arrives with his pals to "borrow" the brothers' dogs and sled. But Atanarjuat, the fast runner, chases them down, and Amaqjuaq, the strong one, throws the gang off the sled. Later, during a game of "wolf tag" at camp, Atanarjuat chases the beautiful Atuat, for whom he has an obvious liking, provoking jealous anger from Oki, who was betrothed to Atuat when they were children. To complicate matters further, Oki's sister Puja also openly shows her tender feelings for Atanarjuat. The scene is set for a duel. Even Oki's grandmother Panikpak does not want Atuat to marry Oki, because, she says, Oki is a cruel man, just like his father Sauri has been since the evil shaman's visit. (Panikpak calls Atuat "little mother" because Panikpak long ago "recognised" the child and named her after Panikpak's own mother Atuat.)
In a large igloo they are singing and playing games of strength as a prelude to a feast. Atanarjuat and Oki warm up for a head-punching duel by singing mocking songs at each other. As the duel begins, Oki is startled with a vision of the evil shaman, and Atanarjuat is protected by a prayer by Panikpak to her dead husband. Atanarjuat ends up knocking Oki into helpless spasms, thus winning the right to marry Atuat.
Broken love[edit]
Some time later, Atanarjuat is a happy husband to the pregnant Atuat. Tulimaq tells Atanarjuat that he should leave to hunt caribou, and an elder suggests that Atanarjuat stop at Sauri's camp, joking about the women that he will find there. On his trip Atanarjuat does stop at Sauri's camp, where Oki and Sauri suggest that he should take Puja to help with the hunt. Atanarjuat naively allows himself to be persuaded. At a waterfront camp, Atanarjuat and Puja pass the evening singing and flirting and eventually end up in the tent having sex.
Time passes; it is summer. Atanarjuat is now in an unhappy marriage with two wives, Atuat and Puja, and has a young son by Atuat. Atuat and Amaqjuaq's wife Uluriaq complain that Puja is not helping with the daily work. Later, in the tent, under the communal fur shared by the family, Puja and her brother in law Amaqjuaq softly slide together and begin to have sex. Uluriaq wakes up and screams, and Atanarjuat cuffs Puja on the head. Puja flees to Sauri's camp and arrives there black-eyed, crying that Atanarjuat tried to kill her for no reason. Oki vows revenge, Panikpak however remains suspicious of her accusations.
A murderous attack[edit]
Atuat and Uluriaq look up to see Puja returning to their camp, crying remorsefully. They are suspicious, but accept her apology. At Puja's suggestion, Atuat and Uluriaq leave to pick eggs, while Atanarjuat and Amaqjuaq retire to the tent to sleep. Alone outside the tent, Puja places a boot against the tent to indicate who is sleeping on that side. She leaves to join the other women as Oki and his gang appear over the hilltop. From inside the tent we hear Amaqjuaq admit to his brother that he has done him wrong — the last words he will ever speak. Oki and his two henchmen sneak up and plunge their spears through the tent wall. Oki's spear comes out stained with the blood of Amaqjuaq. But Oki is startled and distracted at a vision of his grandfather Kumaglak shouting angrily "Atanarjuat's brother is coming after you!". At that instant, Atanarjuat, naked, barefoot, and unharmed, bursts out of the tent and runs off across the ice.
Atanarjuat's run[edit]
Oki and his two sidekicks give chase on foot, but Atanarjuat, the fast runner, keeps well ahead of them, running steadily for miles barefoot on the ice. Oki knows there is an open crack in the ice which will stop Atanarjuat. But as Atanarjuat runs he sees a vision of an old man calling to him. Atanarjuat follows the vision and gains the power to make a soaring leap over the open crack. Oki is forced to turn back to get his dog sled.
An old man is picking eggs and looking around uneasily. It is the man whose spirit appeared to Atanarjuat on the ice. He returns to his wife and adopted daughter with more eggs than they could possibly eat themselves.
Atanarjuat, freezing cold and with feet raw and bloody, finally collapses on the ice. He wakes up wrapped in furs with the old man and his family staring down at him. Atanarjuat tells them he is being chased, and the daughter spots a sled team approaching. The family hide Atanarjuat under some dry seaweed. Oki and his brothers arrive, and in spite of Oki's threats and questions, the family profess to have seen no one. Oki urinates on the seaweed under which Atanarjuat is hiding. The family feeds their visitors eggs until they are stuffed. After the meal Oki tells the old man that he knows he is Qulitalik, Oki's great uncle, who left Igloolik many years ago (as we witnessed at the beginning of the film) and that they had all thought he had died. Oki eventually leaves in the hope of finding Atanarjuat's body on the ice.
Community in fear[edit]
Back at Igloolik, Oki is angry because Sauri refuses to let him have Atuat. One day, while Atuat is spending time alone, Oki's henchmen grab her and pin her down while Oki rapes her. Later, Panikpak comes to Atuat to offer her comfort.
Winter has arrived again, and the ice is becoming solid. Atanarjuat, having healed with help from his rescuers, is impatient to return to Igloolik. He is not scared of Oki, but the evil spirit behind Oki. "Only you know when you are ready", Qulitalik tells him — spiritual healing is as important as the physical.
The men of Igloolik are out on the ice hunting seals. Oki approaches Sauri and stabs him in the stomach with the words "Get out of my way, Atuat is mine now." Oki tells the others that Sauri tripped and stabbed himself, and they bring the body of Sauri back to Igloolik on a sled. Amidst the mourning and crying, the leader's walrus-tooth necklace is removed from Sauri's body and placed around Oki's neck: Oki is now the camp leader. He later tells Atuat that he wants nothing to do with her, and as time passes he provides her with no food or care. She becomes almost desperate enough to beg him for help. In her heart, Panikpak calls out to her brother Qulitalik (calling him anik, "brother") to summon him supernaturally, as they agreed so long ago.
A daring plan[edit]
Sensing his sister's call, Qulitalik tells his family that they will all go to Igloolik with Atanarjuat. Outside, Qulitalik performs a magic ritual using rabbit's feet, and back at Igloolik Oki sees a rabbit in the snow that he is able to catch with his bare hands. When he eats the rabbit meat he falls under a happy spell that makes him forget all his grievances.
Having made the long sled journey across the ice, Atanarjuat, Qulitalik, and the family approach Igloolik. Atuat runs out and is joyfully reunited with her husband. Puja runs out too, but Atanarjuat humiliates her by cutting open her jacket and turns her away. Oki, still under the spell, does not defend Puja, but instead suggests that they prepare food for the visitors.
Atanarjuat builds an igloo with smooth ice floor and invites Oki and his pals to an early start to the feast. They begin eating and talking as old friends. Then Atanarjuat steps out for a moment and returns with a caribou antler club in his hand and caribou antler spikes attached to his feet. He attacks while his enemies slide helplessly on the ice. Pinning Oki down, Atanarjuat smashes the club into the ice beside Oki's head and declares that the killing will stop now. Emerging from the igloo victorious, Atanarjuat finds the community gathered outside. Qulitalik takes the walrus tooth necklace off Oki's neck and gives it to Panikpak to take care of until the evening, when they will meet to finally confront the evil that has been with them for so long.
Return of the shaman[edit]
With the community gathered that evening, Qulitalik chews on a walrus-skin bag to call forth the spirits. The evil shaman Tungajuaq appears, blowing and grunting with the eerie echo of a polar bear. The others recoil in fear, but Qulitalik places a carved pair of tusks in his mouth and confronts Tungajuaq with the powerful spirit of the walrus. Panikpak joins him, shaking the walrus tooth necklace. Feeling the force of their spiritual onslaught, the shaman backs up. Qulitalik throws some magic soil into the shaman's face, and the evil shaman screams and disappears into thin air.
Panikpak speaks to the gathered group in the stone house. It is time for forgiveness, she says, and to rid the community of the evil that has plagued them for so many years. Oki and Puja and their friends are forgiven for their evil deeds, she says, However they will not be unpunished and they must leave Igloolik immediately and never return. As Puja cries in grief the troublemakers all leave, with one final furious and agonised look from Oki.
Joy sweeps the gathered community. Then the voice of the old leader of the camp, Kumaglak, is heard coming from his namesake Kumaglak, the little son of Atanarjuat and Atuat. Old Kumaglak asks his wife Panikpak to sing his old song, which she does, as everyone joins in.

The names of Atanarjuat and his brother first appeared in writing in the journals of the explorer Captain George Lyon, who took part in a British expedition to search for the Northwest Passage in 1821–23.[2] The Inuit believe the story of Atanarjuat to be more than five centuries old. This agrees with geomorphological estimates that Qikiqtaarjuk (Herschel Island), Inuktitut for little island and now a peninsula of Igloolik Island,[3] on which much of the action occurs, became a peninsula about 500 years ago due to isostatic rebound.[2][4][5] The main elements of the original story are that two brothers are betrayed by their wives and help set up a sneak attack. Rivals plunge their spears through the walls of the brothers' tent, but the fast runner makes an escape across the ice, naked and barefoot. After being rescued and healing, the fast runner sets up his own ambush and succeeds in killing his rivals.[2] (See the book for a two-page treatment.)
The writers had to flesh out the bare bones of the legend with more detailed characterization and a social and religious setting. Stories in Inuit society are told for entertainment and teaching. One of the lessons of the legend of Atanarjuat is the evil that can occur when personal ambition (Sauri's and Oki's, in the film) is put before the needs of the community. Another lesson is that someone who defies the camp leader may end up fleeing alone across the ice.
Writer Paul Apak Angilirq, director Zacharias Kunuk, and many others on the production team had heard the Atanarjuat legend when they were young. Over the course of five years, Angilirq interviewed eight elders for their versions of the story and combined them into one treatment (story). The final script was developed by the team of Angilirq, Norman Cohn (producer and cinematographer), Zacharias Kunuk (director), Herve Paniaq (tribal elder), and Pauloosie Qulitalik (tribal elder, who also plays the shaman Qulitalik). Angilirq died of cancer during film production in 1998. The last version of his Inuktitut screenplay is in the book Atanarjuat, side by side with a version by Cohn that appears to be a precursor to the final English script. Cohn explained, "In the final edited version of the film, sometimes the actors are speaking the lines from Apak's script and we are subtitling them with the lines from mine."[6]
Despite the emphasis on accuracy, the film takes liberties with the original Inuit myth: "At the film's core is a crucial lie," wrote Justin Shubow in The American Prospect,[7] which is that the original legend ended in a revenge killing, whereas in the film Atanarjuat stops short of shedding blood. "A message more fitting for our times," explained director Zacharias Kunuk.[8]
Achieving historical accuracy was paramount to the production. According to anthropologist Bernard Saladin d'Anglure the biggest challenge was resurrecting the beliefs and practice of shamanism, "the major frame of reference for Inuit life."[2] Research into historical sources — often the journals of European explorers[2] — provided the basis for the reconstruction of clothes and customs. Elders were consulted every step of the way; in an interview, Paul Apak Angilirq said
- "We go to the elders and ask information about the old ways, about religion, about things that a lot of people have no remembrance of now... They are helping us write down what people would have said and acted in the past, and what the dialogue would have been like... We speak 'baby talk' compared to the elders. But for Atanarjuat, we want people speaking real Inuktitut... When we are writing the script, they might jump in and say, 'Oh, we wouldn't say such a word to our in-law! We wouldn't say anything to our brother's wives! It was against the law!'"[9]
Critical Reception[edit]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2015)
Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner was praised by critics upon its release. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a very positive 90% "Certified Fresh" based on 94 reviews, with an average rating of 8/10. The site's consensus reads, "Compelling human drama and stunning cinematography make The Fast Runner an absorbing experience."[10] On Metacritic the film has a score of 91 out of 100 based on 29 critics indicating critical acclaim.[11]
Roger Ebert from Chicago Sun-Times awarded it 4 out of 4 stars, praising the film's acting, fleshed out characters, and direction, calling it "passion, filtered through ritual and memory".[12] Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian praised the film's performances and, cinematography, calling the film "A remarkable world first".[13] Tom Dawson from BBC called the film " an impressively vivid and detailed depiction of a particular way of life", praising the film's cinematography as "extraordinary".[14] A.O. Scott from New York Times praised the film, stating "Mr. Kunuk has accomplished the remarkable feat of endowing characters from an old folk tale with complicated psychological motives and responses. The combination of dramatic realism and archaic grandeur is irresistibly powerful."[15] Marjorie Baumgarten from Austin Chronicle awarded the film 4 out of 5 stars, praising the film's script, cinematography, and visual style as being unique and refreshing.[16] Leonard Maltin awarded the film 4 out of 4 stars, calling it "A privileged peek into Inuit culture and a stirring, deeply personal drama".[17]
Inuit Reaction[edit]
The goals of the film were first to show how for thousands of years Inuit communities had survived and thrived in the Arctic, and second to introduce the new storytelling medium of film to help Inuit communities survive long into the future.[2] Atanarjuat "is an important step for an indigenous people who have, until recently, seen their culture recorded by outsiders" wrote Doug Alexander in the Canadian historical magazine The Beaver.[18] Jennifer L. Gauthier of CineAction wrote "Atanarjuat was made primarily for Inuit audiences so that they could see positive and accurate images of themselves on the screen." Director Kunuk put it a little more bluntly: "Four thousand years of oral history silenced by fifty years of priests, schools, and cable TV."[19] "Kids all over Nunavut are playing Atanarjuat in the streets," said producer Norman Cohn in a 2002 interview.[20] At one point the production company was considering making Atanarjuat action figures.[20] The film production pumped more than $1.5 million into the local economy of Igloolik and employed about 60 people.[21]

Like the Miami Heats and Alabama Crimson Tides of the world, eligible bachelors who possess rare talent and are rich because of it, typically steamroll the competition—even if the occasional upset derails their plans.
When these single men are pro athletes, the odds shift even further in their favor, because the fame and wealth frequently come attached to an attractive and fit human being.
And whereas the elite entrepreneurs and geniuses of the world seem to always come as packaged deal with sometimes-intolerable eccentricities or just a plain old sense of megalomania; athletes usually are just…dudes (sometimes to a fault).
The single women looking for love today grew up watching and reading classic tales of romance like Cinderella and Snow White; and guess who ultimately saved those ladies in the end with just a kiss? Princes, that's who. And they barely lift a finger in the process.
So, can you blame a lady if she makes Derek Jeter a No. 1 Seed in the tournament of eligible bachelors?
Is it fair? Nope. But, it's real.
These are the most eligible bachelors in sports right now.

CITY CONTROLLER Alan Butkovitz wants to know why the Nutter administration is not following through on an agreement intended to clean up the Sheriff's Office.
Following news that the office has continued to dole out contracts to politically connected people with little oversight despite a recent reform effort, Butkovitz today will release a harsh report on the subject.
The report, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily News, says the administration and Sheriff Jewell Williams have failed to implement many aspects of a 2012 memorandum of understanding between the Mayor's Office and the Sheriff's Office.
The controller said those aspects include: using the city's procurement process and getting OKs from the Law Department and Finance Department for all contracts; using city funds for contracts, rather than less-transparent revenue sources raised directly by the Sheriff's Office; and having the city treasurer set up new bank accounts for the Sheriff's Office.

Occupations of independent contractors
April 30, 2001
More than 8 million persons worked as independent contractors in 1999. Independent contractors were more likely than traditional workers to hold managerial, professional specialty, sales, and production jobs.
Among independent contractors, 20.5 percent were in executive, administrative and managerial positions, compared with 14.6 percent of workers in traditional arrangements. In addition, 18.9 percent of independent contractors were in precision production, craft, and repair jobs; 18.5 percent in professional specialty jobs; and 17.3 percent in sales jobs. The corresponding figures for traditional workers were 10.5 percent for production, 15.5 percent for professional, and 12.0 percent for sales.
These data are a product of a February supplement to the monthly Current Population Survey. "Independent contractors" are workers identified as independent contractors, independent consultants, or freelance workers, whether they were self-employed or wage and salary workers.

Free Press Reporters Take a Blissful Step into 'A Floating World'
Chazen Exhibit Displays Japanese Wood Block Art Through the Centuries
by Enjoyiana Nururdin, age 17
Recently, friend of the Free Press and valued volunteer, Jane Coleman, surprised a group of Free Press reporters with a field trip to the Japanese wood block exhibit at the Chazen Museum of Art. The group of us—including Diamond, Dija, James, Christy, Felicia, Ruthanne, and our editors Taylor and Aarushi—met at the South Towne newsroom where Jane gave us a briefing. Jane explained that Dr. Gene Phillips, professor of Japanese Art, had generously agreed to take us into the "floating world." He would be acting as a docent, or a volunteer guide, for us. Excited, we grabbed our freshly sharpened pencils, notepads, and camera. We piled into two cars and crossed the isthmus.
When we arrived at the Chazen Museum of Art, the first thing we noticed was the glass windows and the skeleton sculpture outside. There, we met Shoko Miyagi, another Free Press volunteer, and Dr. Gene Phillips, in the flesh. Dr. Phillips insisted we call him Gene.
Walking into the exhibit, the dim lights and cold air took us by surprise. Dr. Phillips explained why the environment resembled a haunted house. Because the water-based ink on the wood block came from plants or vegetables, he explained, the pigment changes over time with exposure to light. Therefore, it was best not to use a camera flash or increase the light and speed up the fading process. [Read More]

Skip to comments.Obama Has Already Lost, and He Doesn't Even Know It
Posted on 02/24/2012 8:45:09 PM PST by neverdem
Barack Obama is a lame-duck president already, but he probably doesn't realize it since he is surrounded by leftist zealots who insulate him from any contrary opinions and shielded by the partisan mainstream media. Obama's popularity began falling right after his election, and the percentage disapproving has exceeded those approving steadily since 2009. Each and every voting bloc that supported him in 2008 has eroded by at least 10 points -- even the African-American voters, with independents and young voters dropping by over 30 points. Approval on major issues (economy, budget, deficit, employment, etc.) has also eroded, with disapproval exceeding approval ratings across the board.
Despite approval ratings lower than any president's in recent history, the media push-polls are trying to sell us the idea that Obama is well liked and has a good chance to be re-elected, meanwhile ignoring any and all facts that do not support their partisan message. The good news is that there has been a mass awakening of the American people, who now realize that the mainstream media has a decided leftist tilt and that media polls can no longer be trusted.
Meanwhile, Democrats want us to believe that Obama has been a tremendous success. He promised to redistribute our wealth, and he has begun. He promised to transform our health care system, and he passed ObamaCare. He promised that his energy policies would dramatically increase energy costs, and they have. He promised to appoint justices who think like he does to the Supreme Court, and he has. He promised to pull American troops out of Iraq, regardless of the situation on the ground, and he has. He made many promises that he is trying...
Now that American voters have finally woken up, their opinion is that they don't like the country's new direction...

This article seems predicated on the assumption that the GOP is going field a viable candidate.
I happened by an acquaintances house in November 2008, night of the elections. They were celebrating....now they are all clamoring for Ron Paul. Morons.
The foregoing notwithstanding, he cockily posited that he had 5 more years to accomplish his goals.
Between his minority voting (and ignorant) followers and many left over white guilt voters ... he has a chance; slim, but, still a chance. Never say never when it comes to this POC.
Just exactly who is obama going to lose to?
I'm not so sure.
I think it is 50/50 at the moment.
Same thing with my neighbor, complete with t-shirt the following morning. His company eventually went bankrupt in 2010 and moved out of state. Had no sympathy for him whatsoever.
Intrade has him at 60%.
I'd love a coin flip to be honest.
Have sympathy.
Many of the dimocrats are too dense to realize the err of their ways.
Key points from the article.
Quite valid as well.
Let us illuminate this in the light of little bammys narcissist behavior.
lets talk about what Mr. narcissistic delusional construct of a reality based on a childhood of communist indoctrination, homosexuality, affirmative action college "degrees," and a documented twenty years of reverend jeremiah alvesta wright, jr will do when National Election poll numbers quite possably in the low forties to high thirties percent range are staring him in the face?
What will he do with that Executive Power when it dawns on his narcissistic delusion that he WILL BE a total, complete and utter cluster **** of a failed President.
What will he do to force the world upside down with himself as the only one not standing on his head?
60% may well be more accurate.
Which is not to deny that he is incredibly weak...but the GOP field is much weaker.
Remember the 2010 Elections - they were just a SMALL SAMPLE of how much THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST ANGRY, but FURIOUS and its going to be an FU day to Obama in November 2012! Just like in 2008 when they said no republican would have won, this election will be like a tidal wave of all the 4 years of pent-up emotion we have had to supress!
Well, if you think about it, what is more appropriate for Obama, than a Five-Year-Plan. . . .
(. . .diving for cover, grinning like hell. . . .)
This article seems predicated on the assumption that the GOP is going field a viable candidate.
If those polls are accurate, Daffy Duck could beat Obama. IIRC, In 2008, he got indies almost 3:2 and the yutes about 2:1.
It's interesting how the mediameme now is suddenly
"Things are better." I'm not buying it, couldn't
afford to, have to put four gallons of gas in my
truck at a time. Naturally I don't go far.
However I WILL go to the polling place and vote
on his replacement if I have to crawl there over
broken glass.
That right there could trigger off the worst scenario for President Obama: stagflation, the combination of high inflation, no economic growth and high unemployment. Anyone old enough remembers that in 1979-1980, stagflation caused enormous harm to the US economy, and President Carter saw his sizable lead in March 1980 over then-former Governor Ronald Reagan essentially vanish very quickly, and Carter was beaten in a landslide loss.
Just use clips of him saying some of his more ridiculous things and back it up with a huge laugh track. Every time he utters more of his nonsense just put a huge round of laughter, over and over. Then at the end freeze frame on his $hit eating grin and ask "Can America afford 4 more years of a comedian in our White House? It's time for real leadership".
You know the old saying. Once people start laughing at a politician they're done.
I'm not optimistic.
If Romney is the nominee, a large number of conservatives will stay home or vote for a third-party candidate.
If Santorum is the nominee, the independents will vote for Obama to get free condoms and birth control pills and to prevent a reimposition of the Spanish Inquisition.
If Gingrich is the nominee, by November the public will know his marital history better than the Pledge of Allegiance.
A billion dollar campaign fund for Obama, plus the fervent support of the mainstream media, will do wonders. Look at the debates so far...every time it's liberal journalists asking questions designed to stir up dissension and animosities among Republicans, and nothing that might encourage criticism of Obama.
That's very good! Let's hope the GOP PR folks pick it up.
The Gelding Old Party can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It ain't over till the dead voters are counted.
If the wisdom contained in the old adage "a dog won't bite the hand that feeds it" is true, does it also follow that a voter, dependent on the government, will not vote against an incumbent big-government president?
The Heritage Foundation's recently released "2012 Index of Dependence on Government" reveals that one in five Americans receives some type of government assistance, a record-breaking 67.3 million people. And none of the figures include those who indirectly benefit from government programs (such as tax breaks, contracts, grants, guarantees, subsidies, favored industry incentives, etc.).
In addition, 49.5% of the population (151.7 million) paid no income tax in 2009, and according to Heritage, "most of that same population receives generous federal benefits."
According to 2010 census reports, the federal government employed over 3 million people, and state and local governments employed an additional 20 million.
Also consider the 14.8 million union members who typically vote Democrat.
I didn't know Obama had lost either, neverdem. Is there something about the uninformed American people that you know that I don't?
And if Ron Paul is not our nominee (and he won't be) who will they vote for? Obama.
The president who would be king
The American voting public will have an 'IQ test' come this November.
Medved said Obama would win. I hope he is wrong.
Agree, 50-50 at best, against no candidate at all. When we finally come up with a candidate, it could get worse. Friend of mine is betting on Jeb to ride in on a white horse and break a deadlocked convention.
Yes, that one, Bush.
The media meme: Skirts are shorter this season meaning the economy is better. Clothes are in bright happy colors meaning the economy is better. Stock Market up meaning economy is better. Ignore gas prices, pocket books, debt, unemployment and all the rest. The media puppeteers are busy constructing the set design and theme for election 2012. Happy happy joy joy. Obama plans to croon his way to reelection. He'll probably appear on American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.
I've asked....they said they are going to write in Paul.
Except Letterman Leno Conan and the rest won't tell a single joke about it. or if they do they will blame it on the Republicans or Bush or Chaney. The media will tell us how wonderful it is that we are paying $5 a gallon and how Obama kept it from going to $10 a gallon so we should be grateful to him. That's how they play this game. And the majority of Americans are stupid - that's a fact. The sheep will look in their wallet and watch their money disappear at the gas pumps ... and then listen to the TV men and become confused about who to blame.
Reagan had a gift - to talk to the people. No one on the stage right now has that gift.
The American Thinker is misnamed. A lot of their articles seem to involve less thinking rather than more.
I like your idea but I'd end it a little differently. Use his silly stuff with background laughter, but then slowly fade the laugh track and show a family struggling. Then the announcer says something like, "9% unemployment, $5 a gallon gasoline (etc.) is nothing to laugh at."
There is a right way to do this without sounding campy and without beating up on our Dear Leader. Simply state the facts and let the chips fall where they may. The millions of unemployed, under-employed and struggling families will get the message.
I would love to see Obama sent packing in November, and I do think he can be defeated. But nothing's written in stone yet, and nine months is a long, long time in politics.
I think it likely we'll be looking at a close race similar to 2004. I don't see any GOP candidate taking California or New York away from Obama, just as I don't see Obama repeating his success in Indiana or North Carolina (not sure about Virginia yet). I really think it will come down to Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Whoever takes 2 of 3 will probably be President in 2013.
All IMHO, of course. Which is probably worth everything you're paying for it. :-)
Doesn't matter. We could nominate Elmer Fudd and still beat Obama. Our argument should not be if we can beat Obama but who do we want to win with and why.
We are in dire need of a president that can move the senate and house and the American people into radical reform mode to get control of runaway government. It is for that reason I support Newt Gingrich. It is why I really wanted Sarah Palin to run.
IMO, neither Romney nor Santorum have any desire to take on the "powers that be" in DC. I DO NOT support them at all.
Obama is toast. Running this poorly in the polls at this point and time is hilarious. As an incumbant he should be in the mid 60s to low 70s just to be competitive, as most undecides break for the challenger by 2-1 and the opponent hasn't even been nominated yet. This is a good year to be a Republican with four exceptionally capable individuals, any of which will cruise to victory in November. If the Democrats were smart, and they aren't, they would announce Obama's "retirement" and try to run someone else. Otherwise they are screwed.
Well, I would say that all your negative scenarios will only play out with a TRULY recovering economy.
If gas really does go to $5- (possible, but I really hope not, I'm in NJ and our gas is always cheaper) and Odumbo is still saying "let's make fuel out of pond scum" and unemployment is still high (likely) and housing is still in the crapper and the cost of food continues to creep higher (think how THAT would be being covered if the guy in the WH was a republican!)....
What I'm thinking is most people are going to say "the heck with it, he had his chance" and they are also going to figure that the Gingrich divorces, the Romney ennui, and even the Santorum religiosity aren't enough to keep them from giving the "other guy" a chance.
I think Abe Lincoln said it best: you can't fool ALL of the people ALL of the time.
The Sloppy Incumbent - The once-invincible Obama campaign team has become mistake-prone
Check that link about his fund raising prowess this go round, especially comment# 11. Why do you think Obama has said that superPAC donations on his behalf are now acceptble? The mainstream media gets less and less attention. Watch Fast and Furious become a campaign issue. The head of the RNC said it will be.
"Many of the dimocrats are too dense to realize the err of their ways."
A lot of Dems are worse off than 4 years ago; he only has the support of the far left fringe, which just happens to dominate the media. A lot of black Dems I know are struggling, and they've taken down any pictures of slogans of his a long time ago. They may have been proud to see him win, but they know they are worse off.
"We could nominate Elmer Fudd and still beat Obama."
I've seen the Stupid Party lose to JFK, LBJ, Bozo Carter, Slick Willy Clinton (twice), and the Bamturd once. I try never to underestimate their ability to put together a deadly-accurate circular firing squad.
I mean, if they were smart, people wouldn't have been calling them "the Stupid Party" for decades.
I live in Atlanta and I still see probably 10 to 1 old Hope stickers versus the new 2012 ones.
He's a joker, but the fact remains most blacks vote based on race. I don't even have to look inside a 2012 car to know it's driven by an "African-American for Obama"...
You're right that nothing is written in stone, but Americans have learned a lot in the last four years. While I think the voting public is generally naive, people have really struggled financially, and many are furious that Obama's media keeps telling them every night things are getting better. I believe they have created a cynical batch of voters this year that will pay him back in November, and I believe NY and CA, as two of the worst-off states in the country, have little reason to vote for him. Even his "core constituencies" have to buy gas & groceries (even if it is with somebody else's money), and they're not liking it.
I live outside Newark NJ, and blacks up here have little to cheer about. In any event, they are a smaller section of the voters (and will continue to dwindle thanks to BJ Clinton's Welfare Reform); they have taken a back seat to Latino interests.
One might add the danger of an October surprise. There might be one percolating now in the Straits of Hormuz affording Obama the option to pull the trigger at any time to jigger the poll numbers to his advantage. Americans instinctively rally to the flag and to their president at times of crisis and Iran offers Obama a ready-made crisis to exploit virtually whenever he wants to, likely just before the election.
Of course, if there is action around the Straits of Hormuz, whether to knockout Iran's nuclear program or simply some sort of scuffle, the price of gasoline will go straight through the overhead so Obama has to be a little bit careful of the blowback.
What we are really talking about is the institutionalization of leftism in America. Every serious institution in America is succumbing to infiltration by the left. We complain about the impact of the media on our elections but that is just one institution that has been co-opted. It applies to our churches, our eleemosynary institutions, our educational institutions, the Girl Scouts for God sake, and (gasp) even the military. So when a Republican confronts Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama, he has a good chance of winning but only because the rats have overreached. Against a typical opponent, the forces arrayed against the conservative are nearly insuperable and they are getting more formidable every day.
The truth is that the media is only reflecting the cultural, intellectual, and moral disintegration of the country.
To make the analysis even more complicated, the election might well turn on some bizarre incident that no one now can predict, a "Macaca" moment if you will. The media will try to contrive such a moment against the Republican but fate might also play a trick against Obama. For example, he might just become the " pond scum president." In any event, these events tend to drive the electorate against its conservative instincts toward the left.
When we conservatives decry the influence of Rinos on the Republican Party we might consider the ecology in which they breed and thrive.
It's time for America to laugh him off of the stage.
Maybe. Check out the generic Exit Poll for House Race (2010) at CBS. (It's still downloading, so I'm linking it indirectly.) The sample was huge. The GOP finally got sixty percent of the white vote in 2010 for the first time in history.
Add in the remainder of the Jacksonian Democrats alienated by Obama's energy and environmental policies and folks alienated by Obama's attack on the First Amendment with the latest Obamacare mandate for free contraception and chemical abortions. I could be wrong, but I don't see how Obama keep his 2008 coalition together in the fourth year of the Great Recession.
I have never seen the Press like this before. So OBVIOUS in their bias. I know we say it every year, but this one takes the cake. Yahoo today had a story about how Allan West complained it cost him $70 to fill up his car. And what was the story about? HOW DARE WEST complain because he drives a Hummer. HUH?
"... and President Carter saw his sizable lead in March 1980 over then-former Governor Ronald Reagan essentially vanish very quickly, and Carter was beaten in a landslide loss."
I was a teenager when Reagan was elected President, I immediately felt safe.
Because I was safe!

Desperately seeking female British flick title
Movie trivia - killer! Trying to recall a 1960s-ish (?) movie about a knock-out female British hair dresser who decides to improve herself and take continuing-ed university classes - very toff university, very toff professor (possibly Donald Sutherland or Peter O'Toole - except I can't seem to find anything similar on their IMDB career lists).

Notable Foreign Film Directors

Another Lost Movie
Another lost movie. Last seen 1973 in Europe, presumably made that year or slightly earlier (it may never have reached America). Setting: Britain (mostly London?) Pre WWI and just after. Cast: Attractive, British, youthful. No big names that I recall. General themes: I think- women's rights, problems of romance & politics, the pity of war. Two scenes vividly remembered: Young man appreciatively watching a woman on stage, she singing con brio "Votes for women, votes for women, la de da de da da dee!" Final scene young woman sitting in an art gallery post WW1 watching with emotion some "modern" art. I think her young man has died in the war. Scenes less well remembered (VERY POSSIBLY misremembered) generic love scene, generic romantic argument, suffragettes being run in by the police, young man getting a fleeing suffragette out of the way. A UK production, more art house than mass release, but wonderful atmosphere, which is probably why it sticks in my mind all these years later.

François Girard and Whit Stillman
Two directors whose work I greatly admire, François Girard and Whit Stillman, have been MIA for quite some time. Can someone tell me where either has been, what they've been doing since their last films and what their future plans are? I've heard whispers and seen snippets online, but am hoping some industry-savvy MeFi-ite can provide something more substantial. Is this a case of lack of profitability completely trumping quality and forcing these two out of the director's chair?

Paypal viagra One of the first things you will notice about your Puggle puppy is that his/her behaviors are not fully developed. Paypal viagra This means that what he/she learns in the first few months in your care is critical to their overall development. Paypal viagra Therefore, paypal viagra you need to know how to encourage acceptable behavior so your puppy knows his/her place in your family. Paypal viagra Encouragement is harnessed through training, paypal viagra socialization, paypal viagra and - believe it or not - exercise.
Paypal viagra That's right, paypal viagra providing your dog with sufficient exercise actually helps you gain control over your pet, paypal viagra and makes the teaching process all the more tolerable. Paypal viagra It has been found that dogs that are not provided the ideal amount of exercise recommended for their breed are prone to destructive behaviors such as destroying property and digging. Paypal viagra Dogs were not bred to be idle and will find other ways to release their energy if you don't provide them with a positive outlet.
Paypal viagra A Puggle puppy that has been allowed to release their energy on a regular basis will be easier to control, paypal viagra and is more apt to listen and cooperate during training, paypal viagra as they won't have any pent up energy making them feel anxious, paypal viagra frustrated and distracted.
Paypal viagra Although exercising your dog is good for his/her health, paypal viagra helps improve training, paypal viagra and makes for an all around happy dog, paypal viagra many owners find it difficult to find the time to provide the dog with the exercise they need. Paypal viagra Busy and irregular work schedules, paypal viagra fatigue, paypal viagra and space limitations can create problems. Paypal viagra However, paypal viagra these obstacles can and need to be overcome if you want a happy dog with a first class behavior.
Paypal viagra The following are some helpful tips you can apply to ensure your Puggle puppy is receiving the exercise he/she needs.
- Know the exercise your dog needs - First, paypal viagra find out how much exercise your dog requires daily. Paypal viagra This includes walks and playtime. Paypal viagra Remember, paypal viagra the younger the dog, paypal viagra the more energy he/she has and needs to burn. Paypal viagra A Puggle puppy requires one - two hours of energy burning fun per day.
Paypal viagra This doesn't mean your dog should be taken on long one hour walks, paypal viagra nor does it mean you should provide your dog with two hours of exercise all at once. Paypal viagra Split the time up evenly between different activities. Paypal viagra For instance, paypal viagra two twenty minute walks, paypal viagra 10 minute run around in the yard, paypal viagra and an hour and ten minutes of play time.
