Maui Nei
For many island families, holiday is synonymous with flying. In the old days, that meant driving down to the airport, getting a ticket at the counter and walking out to the airplane. For the uninitiated, it's a little more complicated today. OK. Fire up the computer. Search for the airline website, plastic money at the ready. Fumble through the promos obviously aimed at off-island travelers. Ahhh. Here's the stuff needed to buy a ticket. Follow the directions.
At the airport, stuff the truck in a parking stall. Hand the printout to the ticket lady. Nope. She says use the machine in front of the counter. Follow more directions. The machine spits out a boarding pass. Head for the TSA security check da kine. Oops. Wrong line. Doing stuff at home ahead of time apparently qualifies the passenger for "priority" clearance. Zip through the metal detector. Nope. Belt buckle sets off the machine. TSA guy smiles. Pull off the belt. Try again. The machine sayeth not. Wait at the gate. Kill time with a little conversation with a young couple headed home to Oahu. A bag with boxes of Krispy Kreme pastries give them away. Suggest the next time they try Maui's Home Maid Bakery apple fritters or Komoda's cream puffs.
Onto the plane. It's the end of the day, but the stewardess still has a smile. Find the right row of seats. Hmmm. Which is which? Guy sitting in a row behind explains. "Don't get off the island much, do you?" he says with a laugh.
The plane flies out of the darkness over Maui into the last rays of sunset over Oahu. The holiday is underway.
Christmas actually began a couple of days before at the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. The off-island jaunt forced gift-getting ahead of the usual, last-minute buying. The center stores had just opened, but Santa was already on hand. A line of parents with small and not-so-small children waiting to have pictures taken with a Maui representative of the man from the North Pole. He's impressively authentic, right down to a real beard the more inquisitive, or skeptical, children can tug on.
Don't tell the kids, but this Santa is Charlie Silva. He takes the job seriously and is proud of the fact he is the only pidgin-speaking Santa who is a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Since he retired from the county, Charlie has spent 12-hour days leading up to Christmas with children in his lap. The gig gets underway some months before. It takes time to grow a Santa beard. Somehow, he's turned his normally brown face fur a snowy white. His Santa charm takes no preparation at all. It's natural. Ask anyone who has known him in any of his various incarnations.
Tourists were charmed when they stopped at Rice Park. Charlie, the park caretaker, spread aloha while answering questions and telling island stories. Various homeowners were charmed by Charlie, the weekend landscape maintenance guy. (As with many Mauians, one paycheck just wasn't enough.) Visitors to the historic Makawao Cemetery were charmed by Charlie, the guy who kept the grounds neat and tidy.
Charmed might not be the right word to describe the bikers who knew Charlie as a member of the Alli Motorcycle Club, but they certainly could appreciate his organizational abilities. At one time, Charlie put together the only motorcycle show ever held at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. And, there was a much fabled party at the old Puunene Club House around 1980. The biker bash included a bikini contest emceed by Liz Janes. The T-shirts promoting the party have become coveted by collectors of Mauiana.
Charlie's motorcycle days came to a close – at least for now – not so long ago. He was out riding this new Harley when he was hit by a car. Charlie was banged up but escaped serious injury, mostly due to wearing a helmet. The bike, however, was totaled. It wasn't his first crash, but it was the first in several decades of riding. For the time being, Charlie is sticking with a truck hauling landscaping equipment for most of the year and a sleigh during the Christmas holiday.
During the long hours with a succession of kids in his lap, Santa Charlie never failed to listen carefully to the kids. On at least one occasion, he spent a few extra moments with an older kid who seemed to have some sort of problem. The conversation ended with Santa giving the kid a big hug. The memory of the kid's smile eased the humbug of needing to get a plane to share Christmas with a loved one. There's more than one way to give a gift.
I hope your Christmas was joyful and the new year brings you peace and love.

Maui Nei
Mahina is a seductress. In addition to the silvery light, she exudes a kind of energy. At least, for some of us. Time for a ride over to Haiku for some food and music. Make that music and food.
Head out to the garage to suit up and trundle Baby Dancer out next to the truck. It's been cold in Kula, more like February or March than December. Kauai and Oahu have been getting rain. The south and west sides of Maui have been dry. At this time of year, at 2,000 feet altitude, no clouds equals low temperatures. Even the most ardent motorcyclists turn to their four-wheel cages for night rides.
Not tonight.
Long sleeves. A heavy leather jacket. Snap shut the neck flap. The motorcycle fires right up. Modern electronic fuel injection compensates the way no carburetor can. Mahina is just cresting the northwest slope of Haleakala. Underway, it doesn't seem that cold. Burble across Kula. Arrrgh. Every time the highway dips into a gulch, it's make anu, literally, not warm. The sleeves and jacket feel good. Face gets pinked.
There's no reason to hurry. Time enough to enjoy the Christmas lights adorning houses up the hill. Most of the decorations – at least from a distance – are mostly a string of lights marking the roofline. Left thumb gets a workout, flipping from low to high beam.
The low beam does a good job of lighting the road when it's straight. It does little or nothing for showing the way around curves. On a bike, it's necessary to look down the road in order to set up for the swoop. Flip up for a curve but not when there's oncoming traffic. Blinded drivers are not the safest motorists to approach.
There's a solid line of headlights heading the other way. Drivers hurrying home, no doubt. Maybe coming from a Christmas shopping expedition in town. Watch for cars turning left. Rely, sort of, on turn signals. Often, modern cars have amber blinkers right next to the headlight, making them hard to see in the glare.
Wonder just where the thermometer has landed. Probably not that far, but decades of living in the tropics turns blood to water and penetrates bones. Iwi makule complain about anything below 65. Never mind the wind chill created by a self-generated 45-mph breeze. Maui is a long way in years and miles from a childhood in the Midwest where the cold can actually hurt. The deep-freeze memory is warming on Maui.
It'll be colder later. By the time the thermometer bottoms out an hour or two before sunrise, I should be safely ensconced under warm covers with a "heater cat." Thanks to Minnesota broadcaster Garrison Keillor for that description. Cyrano, the house cat, likes to curl up inside bent knees. On cold nights, the outside fur dudes tend to come into the garage, sleeping in the warmest corners they can find.
Gear down for the turn on Makawao Avenue, watching for traffic off Haleakala Highway, aka the Pukalani Bypass. Nothing coming. Maximum speed up to and beyond Kalama Hill is 30 mph – slowed by a stream of traffic that often comes to a courteous halt to let side-street drivers onto the road.
Come to the four-way stop at the Makawao-Baldwin-Olinda intersection. For once everyone seems to understand four-way etiquette. The first to arrive is the first to go. When two arrive simultaneously, the one on the right is first.
Down to the Bill Balthazar bridge and over to Maliko Gulch, left thumb is busy. Turn left at the Makawao-Kapakalua-Kailiili-Kokomo intersection. It probably confuses tourists and newcomers, but Maui's roads are usually named for their destination. Lots of oncoming traffic. Take the road's right-left wiggles on low beam and memory.
It seems warmer in the dry night. Haiku is known for wet, not cold. Hit Haiku Road and turn in at Fukushima Store. The young clerk breaks into a smile at a wisecrack about "da 'riginals," unfiltered Camels, the smallest and most expensive cigarettes in the rack. Old habits and tastes die hard.
At the Haiku Marketplace, Mahina flirts with clouds and the branches of old mango trees. Pull up next to the Hana Hou. Turn off Baby Dancer. Ah, the sweet sounds of the Hula Honeys and the aroma of carefully prepared food eaten on this night in the company of a Hawaiian music legend, the elegant Emma Veary.
It's warmer here at a favorite spot, under the Mahealani moon, the 16th day of the lunar month, night of Mahina piha, the last full moon of the year.

Maui Nei
It's the time of year to anticipate a feast of ground lights when the sun sets. Hawaiians called sunset ahiahi, the time of burning clouds. The ao were important harbingers for those living in deep valleys, particularly in East Maui where the land hid the sun's final dip into the sea, leaving only the red and orange clouds overhead to signal the arrival of po, the night and the next day. Hawaiians measured their days from sunset to sunset.
For hundreds of years, the islands' only light at night came from the moon, the stars and the flickering flames of fires and kukui nut lamps and torches. Then came candles and oil-burning lamps. And finally, electricity created islands of light in the darkest nights.
At this time of year, the islands of light are augmented by fanciful creations that have evolved from traditions and celebrations begun a world away in northern climes. It's the season for Christmas, a day set aside to celebrate the birth of a Messiah. Never mind the fact Dec. 25 may have little historic accuracy. Never mind the fact "Christmas" is trumpeted for more than a month.
The whole idea of associating Christmas with lights has its origins in lands where winter meant cold days of snow and even colder nights. Light in the night meant warmth and survival. At this time of year, Christmas was synonymous with warmth and survival.
The islands, anchored securely in the tropics, are far from the lands that gave birth to snowscapes peopled by the likes of Santa Claus, elves and workshops at the North Pole – a tradition that can be traced to the 1820s, the same time New England missionaries and their message of Christianity first arrived in the islands. Christmas followed almost immediately, needing only the arrival of a few more haole to become a community affair, smack in the middle of makahiki. The Hawaiians' four-month-long celebration of the new year was a time of sports, religious observances and maluhia. Peace reigned because warfare was forbidden.
Where torches might have lit the night for royal parties, islanders have elected to create elaborate fantasies on and around their houses. Electric icicles drip from roofs that have never known a freeze. Snowmen, Santas, elves and reindeer coexist with nativity scenes depicting wise men, a stable, Joseph, Mary and a baby Jesus.
It's possible to guess the age of the fantasy-land creators. Old-timers cut characters out of wood and lit them with blue, green and red bulbs. For years, St. Joseph's Church in Makawao was overgrown with extension cords and old-fashioned lights. The 1974 oil embargo, subsequent higher electricity costs and concerns about safety ended the display. Today, Makawao's major contribution to seasonal festivity is a giant star in the top of the town's tallest tree, plus the ubiquitous icicles on stores.
There was a time when ornaments and lights were not that easy to come by. In the 1960s, local ag officials were excited when they learned of a Christmas tree decorated entirely with the painted shells of snails. Not so today. Maui retailers have all manner of decorations, including complete, plastic and metal trees that require only a nearby outlet.
In recent years, yard decorations have become dominated by wire armature figures and inflatable characters that take on any kind of life only when lit. There's been one household on Makawao Avenue that included a big sport-fishing boat with a Santa on board under a canopy of white lights.
Slide along any residential street on any night, and it's possible to enjoy the creativity and Christmas exuberance of many householders. Some displays grow from year to year with the addition of new characters. Pick a few favorites to revisit and when the lights are no more, mourn the passing of a dedicated Elf.
Many equate darkness on our sunny island with a kind of emptiness. At this time of year, that emptiness is filled with lights celebrating a season of hope. The displays can be elaborate or simple.
Two favorites, not far from home in Waiakoa: The relatively new house sits on a rise overlooking an intersection. The house itself is unadorned. West-facing windows frame a tall, well-shaped tree holding what appears to be a galaxy of tiny stars. Not far away is a house hidden by trees. High above the roof shines a simple three-dimensional star that is more than enough to light the night.
Travel the island after sunset and you will see.

Maui Nei
History is usually written from facts, but it often ignores vital details of individual life. Jill Engledow's new novel, "The Island Decides," offers a look into an unheralded segment of Maui's social history – the "hippie invasion" in the late 1960s.
Young, rootless malihini came, following the promise of a pastoral, live-off-the-land paradise pictured by a series of surf films. Nonsurfer members of the so-called counterculture took note. For the most part, The Maui News and city papers ignored all but the most sensational events surrounding the young who distinguished themselves with long hair, weird clothing, weirder lifestyles and a devotion to rock 'n' roll and freewheeling sex, both amplified by the use of drugs.
There were two major encampments. One was in the kiawe scrub behind Oneloa Beach at Makena. The other was "Banana Patch" in Haiku, where a kindhearted landowner allowed the construction of a shanty town. Both were closed down by a series of legal actions.
Some of the surfers and hippies were intent on inventing a new culture. Others were simply escaping from Mainland restrictions during and after "the summer of love." Engledow, a longtime journalist and writer of two notable nonfiction books about Maui, explores the counterculture from the viewpoint of a woman.
As did many of the young women of her time, Carrie Ann follows a man from Oklahoma to San Francisco. He's a rock 'n' roller. She's a product of a society that casts women in the role of helpmeet, someone who nurtures whatever life is picked by "her man." The irresponsible man – really a boy – abandons her and his unwanted daughter.
Through a series of believable, if bizarre, events, the daughter ends up with strangers on Maui. The novel revolves around Carrie Ann's search for the child. She finds her daughter is a foster child in a local family ready to hanai the little girl. Getting and keeping her in the face of official skepticism is the backbone of the story.
With no money and the help of a public attorney, Carrie Ann ends up with one of the more stable hippie families. But . . . Carrie Ann is smitten with another man who is a motorcycle-riding Adonis. Is it love or lust? There are torrid, but tasteful, scenes between her and a man who is obviously not good for her and her daughter.
Any reader of modern fiction will recognize the sexual escapades, but will be surprised and educated by the fact they are told strictly from Carrie Ann's viewpoint. She's an enthusiastic participant, all the while hoping his attraction to her goes beyond the physical.
The conflict between carnal desire and love of her daughter is a central theme of the novel. The female viewpoint might make this a "woman's book," but it is light-years away from what is known as "romances."
Maui readers will be fascinated by what was happening on the island during that time now 40 years in the past. There is also interaction with Hawaiians, including one lovable, unassuming kane who typifies island compassion and love of children.
In the end, the more sensational aspects of the book play a background role to one of the eternal dilemmas faced by modern women, particularly those fighting the fight before feminism was established as a cultural fact. At first blush, the main character seems doomed. It takes careful reading of the ending to imagine a brighter future for Carrie Ann and her daughter.
The 295-page novel is an easy read. There's a page-turner quality to the structure and writing. The characters – both those the reader likes and those the reader despises – become enduringly real in the movie created by the prose. It's one of those books which stick in the mind with all the vivid color of a Kodachrome snapshot.
"The Island Decides" is available at the Maui Friends of the Library bookstores, Collections in Makawao, Kula Marketplace, Hui No'eau and Ulupalakua Ranch Store. Amazon.com has both paperback and e-book versions.
Art has been defined as the distortion of fact to arrive at truth. That's always been the strength of fiction. Jill Engledow's book is fiction set in fact. The hippie invasion of Maui did happen. Jill, a longtime friend, colleague and honest woman, knew the invaders well. Ask any of the survivors who are around today.

Barring a collapse down the stretch, Missouri isn't going to miss the NCAA tournament. Losing 73-71 at Arkansas doesn't change that. They've beaten Illinois, VCU and Ole Miss and they have just one truly horrible loss — at LSU. Given the rest of the teams that are currently sitting on the bubble, the Tigers are in really good shape. Arkansas beats everyone at home. Losing is never a good thing, but a loss at Arkansas is far from reason to sound the alarm.
Missouri Loses at Arkansas, but Don't Complain About the Refs

Suitable for lessons given in schools, as well as in private lessons with younger pupils. It can also be taken as a precursor to Gitarren AG. This book is in German only.
Jens Kienbaum has worked as a music teacher ever since completing his studies in Instrumental Education under Hubert Käppel at the University for Music in Cologne. He wrote a comprehensive (248-page) guitar course with his first book, Abenteuer Gitarre (AMA No. 610309), which can be used in private, group or class lessons. The winning formula for this course is that pupils get to grips with the full sound of the guitar as a harmony instrument from the very beginning which takes them on a journey of discovery through the guitars world of sound.
With Kienbaums Gitarrengruppe we now have an introductory course which can be used for a whole school year from primary school onwards, in group lessons, in lessons during school hours or in very classic, private lessons.
Due to music teachers collaborating with schools and integrating lessons into the school day, the working environment for teachers has undergone stark changes. Teachers are confronted with the problem that children often lose their concentration in the afternoon after a full day of lessons and they are therefore faced with the challenge of keeping them focussed. However, you could take advantage of the fact that these afternoon classes lead those towards music who otherwise wouldnt go to a music school. Therefore, one aim should always be laying down technical and musical foundations which will also allow pupils to continue instrumental lessons at a music school.
This course aims to introduce musical notation (part 1) and playing from music in the range E to e. The chords learned (Am, Em, G, D7, C) will be practiced with the help of vocals (part 2). Part 3 (pieces and songs) and part 4 (power chords) provide a lot of material which can be performed in concerts.
Through practical tips for the teacher, like how to win pupils attention (e.g. through rhythmical games), numerous pictures (which give information about position and fingering) and many tasks for the pupil, this course fills a gap between being forced to practice and taking part in an interesting and exciting lesson.
For teachers who plan to implement their lessons in the coming school year, Gitarren AG (AMA No. 610370) by Jens Kienbaum can be used as additional lesson material, which focuses on playing with the right hand.

My Second One
I had the first one for 10yrs and finally died last week. This one fits my hand nicely. I gave it 4 stars because it has an auto shut-off feature which my first iron did not have.....I had to turn it on again in the middle of ironing my hair! Otherwise, this is a great flat iron!

Not What I Expected
I have few picks to pick at this HAI straightener. It is my first HAI, before I use to own a CHI really good straightener until it got stolen, I had my CHI for about 7 years! So I had to purchase a new straightener and I really didn't want to spend much on one so I went based on the price and reviews for this HAI. The HAI straightens my hair really fast it controls the frizziness and it gives my hair a nice shine and leaves it really smooth. My hair is long wavy, somewhat curly and thick. However, I dont like that I have to set up the temperature that I want to use for my hair, with the CHI it only had an off and on button and it will heat up fast I would like the same for this one. The HAI is not good for curling your hair it would do just mediocre curls and the top of this straightener gets really really Hot! So I feel like I have to hurry, I use the temp. at 340.

Simply The Best!
This is the first review I've ever written, so it takes a lot to impress me! I have shoulder length, fine, naturally curly and a bit frizzy hair. I blow dry and flat iron after every shampoo. In the past 15 years, I've tried just about every high-end flat iron, from Sedu, to Solia, to Chi, and many others, but I really think the HAI is the best. It grips my hair firmly, doesn't snag, doesn't fry, and produces super-smooth results! I'd been using the Sedu Revolution Diamond iron, and while I think that one is OK, the HAI is definitely better. So try it, you won't be disappointed!

The Best Flat Iron Ever!
I have had this flat iron for over 10 years, and I think it finally died today. It is by far the best flat iron I have ever used so I immediately came onto Folica to purchase a brand new one. I used this iron almost every day, set to about 340, and it worked wonders. The ceramic plates are great and I never felt that they were damaging my hair. No review will really do this flat iron justice; just buy it and you'll understand.

Best Flat Iron Ever
I've had this flat iron for 8 years, and it still works like new. I have wavy/curly thick hair. This flat iron can straighten my whole head in 15-20 minutes. I have layered hair, so doing things like curling take longer. Because of how good this straightener is, I'm out the door faster than ever. Love this one. HIGHLY recommend.

Not Bad...
I bought the HAI convertible ceramic flat iron 1 1/4" because it has pretty good reviews and it was't very expensive. It is just ok. After one use, the flat iron has gotten a little loose so the arms slide side to side when using. Also-it takes multiple passes to straighten hair on hottest setting. I have slightly wavy, healthy hair which should be a piece of cake to straighten. I have gotten similar results from cheaper models from my local big box store. I am probably sending back.

Lasts A Long Time!!
I have had this one probably about 9 yrs! its still going strong and works fantastic! I have very long thick wavy hair and this is amazing, has changed my manageability of my hair for sure. Got this by recommendation of my long time hair dresser.May order a new since the price is great and I have had mine a while and like new :)

Sydney's central business district from Martin Place down to Circular Quay changed dramatically after World War 11. We examine many of the buildings in the cbd and trace the development of modernism and the high rise tower. From Harry Seidler's iconic Australia Square tower that dominated the Sydney skyline when it was completed in 1970 the tour explores the most exciting free-standing buildings of the late twentieth century, including the British architect, Sir Norman Foster's Deutsche Bank Place a recent addition to Sydney's skyline.
We also look at buildings that have had to adapt to heritage items, such as the cantilevered Governor Phillip Tower by DCM that protects 19th century terrace houses, or the ingenious excavation beneath the Botanic Gardens, by architects Jackson Dyke, to provide more classrooms for the Conservatorium of Music.
Please arrive at the start point 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.

It's, ahem, interesting to see Hero Harry Markopolos's take on Murdoch as the Journal takeover was proceeding. This in an email to reporter John Wilke (warning: big PDF):
Murdoch would be poison for the paper. As far as editorial freedom, the WSJ's editorials are so bad right now I actually think Murdoch could only improve them. It's the WSJ's unsurpassed content outside of those whack-job editorials that I worry about. WSJ reporters are the world's best business reporters bar none. If the WSJ falls prey to Murdoch, that'll leave only the FT and the Economist as world-class repositories for serious, insightful financial journalism. You guys really need to start slamming Murdoch on the front pages.
And as a reporter there at the time, I can tell you nine out of ten news staffers agreed with every word of that.Ryan Chittum is a former Wall Street Journal reporter, and deputy editor of The Audit, CJR's business section.

when you remove the vacuum hose whats the idle speed?
when it wont stay running is it after you start it and then idle settles down or starts then shuts off immediately?
when you removed the throttle body did you remove the iac valve and clean it also.

I had a similar problem with my Buick. Ran like crap and no check engine light. I plugged my GM OBD1 in and it pulled a stored coil pack fault code, even though the light was not on the computer will store old codes, so go to a Auto Part Store and they will check it for free. Hope that helps?

it starts then shuts off immediately
try to disconnect the est wire(set timing wire) if it starts and runs ok replace pick up coil.
if it still immediately dies turn ignition on engine off jumper pin A and B of diagnostic port listen for iac moving.(not 100 percent sure this test will work)

I can't try till Monday because its locked in a garage for the weekend but I will try that out.
when you disconnected the vacuum hose did you leave it open or plug it? if open im thinking iac valve stuck shut. engine needs air to run at idle with throttle closed.(ecm controls idle speed with iac valve cold(high idle) to warm

Open I think. I'm not 100% sure i'm not the only one working on it.
IAC valve good, vac. line was plugged when off of map sensor. Now checking pick up coil and injectors more to follow. Any other ideas? This thing has been kicking my butt!
also there is another test for the pick up coil.(oh
check with multimeter.

my toyota did the same thing come to find out the vaccum hose came disconnected from the valve cover.. check too see if its tight.. worth a try worked for me
To LA'GIT to QUIT!!!
Pick up coil good. IAC valve good r&r'd it anyway. Injectors good. Brand new plugs fouled because it's running so rich when off the map but when I hook up map it dies? Do you think it might be the ECM playing games or is it a ghost in the machine?
Hey thanks for the tip but all vaccum lines are slap new and have been checked and rechecked. I'm starting to think this is something supernatural!
This sounds very similar to what i was going thought last summer with my 88, basiccaly replaced everything you have gone thought trying to figure it out, it would start and run really really rough or would just shut off right away and it wouldnt give me any engine codes and it ended up being a bad ground on the thermostat housing so i would deffinatly check your grounds. Mine did not even look damaged but that was the problem the whole time.
Good luck man

my buddies plow truck (older 454)was having some problems at idle and wouldn't stay running. We gave up and took it to dealer and it was a fuel pressure regulator?? I don't know about your situation, but it sounds like you've checked most everything. Also I was reading a thread the other day and a guy had a bad O2 sensor that was causing the truck to run rich and it had actually plugged a cat and the truck was slowly losing power and not wanting to run. Sorry I'm not much help just trying to throw some more ideas at you. GOOD LUCK!!

When it dies, do you lose spark? Does it die like someone shut off the key?
Get one wire off and put on a spark plug and ground it to the engine. Have someone start it up and watch when it dies, does the spark go away or does the spark keep sparking?
Is the fuel pump priming? When you turn key of, does fuel pump come on for up to 2 seconds? Then when you start, does it stay on? (you'll need to be back under the tank to hear it). Best to use a fuel pressure gauge. Make sure you are getting full pressure and it must stay on.
These 2 will give you direction....Fuel or spark.... It sounds to me like one injector might be locked on and dumping fuel and not spark related. Or FPR leaking fuel in the engine.
Try this. Unplug the injectors (this is a safety issue!!!) and crank it and spray carb cleaner in the throttle body, can you make it run on it? If you leave injectors plugged in you have a high risk of fire, so PLEASE DO NOT DO!

When the film opens you learn that the footage you are about to see is the property of the United States Department of Defense and the name assigned to the event is "Cloverfield".
The first eighteen minutes of the film is set at a going-away party for one of the characters who's about to leave for Japan to start a new job. Things progress in typical party fashion, with the typical party drama, when suddenly their building shakes and the power flickers off and on for a few seconds. From that point on the film becomes something else entirely! From news footage and then through their own eyes, they learn that New York City is being attacked by a colossal (over 30 stories tall) creature of unknown origins. Then you follow a small group of characters as they try to escape the city alive.
The entire film is shot from the vantage point of a hand-held camcorder. I know most people don't like that style of film making, but I personally think it's a great way to tell this story. You see exactly what the characters see and have to deal with, like the parasitic creatures that fall of the main creature.
The extras on the DVD are definitely worth the time. In fact, you learn that the creature is actually a frightened newborn! That adds a whole new twist to the story if you ask me.
I think the movie is smart and definitely worth a viewing or two. I would caution people that easily get motion sickness to be prepared because the footage is quick and jerky through most of the film.
I highly recommend this film!
This is not your common Monster attacking a city movie. This is viewed through a first person, handheld video camera fright fest. IF YOU CANNOT STAND CAMERA MOVEMENT OR SHAKING DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. This movie is a mix of Godzilla/Blair Witch Project. I won't HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie, because this is the type of movie you either like it very much or you'll be dissapointed in. It leaves you with alot of questions. But you journey with a group of people in this intense situation that would be something terrible to go through. VERY SAD ENDING.
When I saw this movie I figured that I was going to be somewhat like Godzilla but with a different monster and the first night I owned this film I didn't even watch it all. I had just got off of work and was looking foward to watching it but I didn't know the whole movie was first person filmed. I just got a headache from the bad filming and turned the movie off. My wife liked this movie but I wasn't a big fan.
Having enjoyed "The Blair Witch Project", with its "first person" point of view from hand-held camera, I also enjoyed this technique in "Cloverfield". This is fun, thrill ride (once you get past the first 15 minutes whick looks like a watered down 90210 episode). The "first person" point of view may not be for everyone, but it gave the Cloverfield monster its "larger-than-life" persona. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys monster movies.
Extras in the DVD are worth the purchase, and Walmart offered a great price on this (less than $20). Also movie is shipped really quickly, so you only have to wait a few days to get your purchase sent to you.
I waited for this movie to hit dvd since i never got the chance to go to the theater to see this and i watched it on surround sound with dolby pro logic and it was amazing. By far one of the best monster movies ever made. Although it was only 74 minutes it kept me feeling like i was in the movie. Great special f/x and sound. Deffinatley some good acting for new actors. I really enjoyed the vision of bothe jj abrams and mike reeves with the home movie style and camera shooting, some really great stuff. overall this movie is one of the best and will be for quite some time. see it asap!
Just like Blair Witch, this is an AMERICAN ICONIC monster movie...& just like Blair Witch this was filmed from a amature point of view & it seems unscripted, & a good job at that...it also leaves a lot of questions unanswered, that should be answered in the sequal! To which I can't wait to see the sequal...
On a side note, the first 17 mins of the movie you can skip, the rest of the film though is CAN'T MISS!
This has to be the worst movie I have ever seen!! I would not recommend this movie to anyone and If I could get my money back for this DVD, I would. It was advertised much differently than what was actually shown. DONOT BUY THIS MOVIE unless you like watching someone running around with a video camera and seeing the movie through the camera.
This movie is the best monster movie that has come out in a long time. I recommend this for any fan of monster movies. THE CAMERA DOES SHAKE SOME SO IF YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS MOVIE! My friend said he didn't like it because of that but it didn't bother me.
this movie was one of the best movies i've ever seen it puts you right there in the middle of it all and it's very suspenseful and thrilling i loved it it may not be the best if you get mtion sickness though the camera moves alot but this film is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! thats all you can say!
its one of those keepers for the whole family. Most people hated it for the fact of the shake cam, but it makes the suspense of the story creep up on you.
i liked it. its buy far the best movie of the year. so go out a buy this movie. you'll regret not watching it.
This movie is very intense, fast, and amazing. It's constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The effects are amazing. Best if watched on a big screen. CAUTION: MAY FRIGHTEN LITTLE KIDS. SOME LANGUAGE. PERVASIVE VIOLENCE
I really liked this movie. You might get dizzy from watchin the camera but other than that it was cool.
ps. play close attention to the end (When they're in the ferris wheel)
This film tackles the monster genre from a whole new angle. It's only 1 hour and 25 mins - short and sweet.
I picked the movie up at the store, it did not say on the box that THE WHOLE MOVIE, was filmed from someones shoulder. I personally find this very distracting, and could not even watch the whole thing. My Husband watched it, and said it was ok, but made him dizzy a lot when the person filming was doing all the climbing and running with the camera. If you liked the way Blair Witch was filmed, then I guess you will like this one.
Well if you watched the previews on this movie it looks so interesting to watch but if you see the movie it was just horrendous. The entire movie was just a shaky camera by one of the characters which will give you a vertigo and the storyline was so poorly done and and not to mention the ending.
Matt reeves probably created this movie on a very tight budget because it was just horrible.
Save your money it's not worth it.
This was the worse movie I have seen in a long time. The story line was interesting enough but the way it was filmed was a big disapointment. This is the first time I have watched a movie that left me with a headache. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.
this had to be the worst movie i have ever seen. it was a toss up between cloverfield and open water......lol. don't buy this movie....you will regret it!!!! it has no begining and no ending.....it just didn't make sense!!!!
I was very disappointed in the movie. The way the movie was filmed was very annoying and hard to watch and relax. The story was boring. I would not recommend this movie and would never watch it again.
I bought this DVD, not knowing that it was a Used Disc, probably from Netflix or a Box DVD machine.
This Movie is Great!

text: Gail Griffin 'A Detroit Anthology' Allows Writers to Control The Narrative About Their City By Erin Williams • May 27, 2014 John Vachon / Library of Congress Listen Listening... / 4:15 Author and professor Gail Griffin can remember her tenth birthday- spent catching a baseball game on a summer night - like it was yesterday: "A rectangle of night sky opens ahead. Brilliant banks of lights against the black. The low crowd hum, rising, like a sea sound. Then acres of green seats and then, below it all, the blazing diamond, emerald they should call it, nothing has ever been so green. Left field, Maxwell. Right, Colavito, the outrageous Cleveland trade, who points his bat at pitchers like a gun. Humidity haloes the lights. Men yelp HOTdogs, HOTdogs, PROgram. I am transfixed, dizzied by the vastness. My stomach lurches like on the Ferris wheel at the State Fair when it surges up and I can almost see Canada. How can an entire world fit inside a building? It's a gleaming secret, a hidden kingdom, an alternate planet shining at the core. Secret garden, emerald city, wonderland. The night breeze licks my skin. I might be dreaming." - From "Night, Briggs Stadium, 1960."

Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) owns all things Internet, and after falling from $750 a share down to $650, I couldn't resist and happily snapped up some for myself. Even after rebounding a bit, Google still only trades for 21 times earnings, which is a pretty conservative multiple for a $200 billion company that managed to grow revenue at a compound annual growth rate of 20% over the last three years.
Not only has Google controlled much of the online experience up until now, but I believe they'll continue to do so for some time as its Android operating system continues to grow like gangbusters. The ideal price -- free -- for manufacturers has quickly catapulted Android to the No.1 spot in the smartphone market share wars, and that sort of position isn't eroded easily.
All in all, Google seems to be a buy at these prices, but the war with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is heating up, and Apple's $100-billion-plus war chest isn't something to be trifled with.
If you're like most investors, you're probably wondering whether Apple remains a buy at these prices. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple, and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward. To get instant access to his latest thinking on Apple, simply click here now.

This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-HD2 FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Good budget board for use as an HTPC. Seems to be stable - so far no issues.
Cons: None so far
Other Thoughts: One thing I would point out is that this board requires a 12v 4+4 connector (8 pins). My old power supply only had a 4 pin connector. I had to buy a newer power supply to use with this motherboard. That's not a deal breaker in my opinion, but it's good info to know if you're considering this board.READ FULL REVIEW

The Rosamond
Gifford Zoo
announced the birth of two male snow leopard cubs that were born in mid-June.
"It has been 14 years since the last snow leopard cubs were born at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo," said Ted Fox, Rosamond Gifford Zoo director. "We are especially thrilled, as only four other zoos have successfully bred snow leopards this year."
The cubs were born to parents Zena and Senge and the zoo says they have not been named yet.
The zoo is hosting a naming contest and is inviting the public to join in.
Name suggestions
must be received by 4:00p.m. on August 22. Names that originate from langauges of the snow leopards' native countries will be given preference. The zoo will post the top names on their website from August 27 to August 30 for the public to vote on. (
Submit a name suggestion
"We know how much the community enjoys participating in the naming of our animals and look forward to their involvement," said Fox.
The zoo plans for the cubs to be on exhibit from 11 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. daily.
The zoo says the cubs will likely be relocated to other zoos in the spring.
Snow leopards are part of a
Species Survival Plan
, an effort between the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and zoos around the world to help ensure their survival, says the zoo. It is estimated that there are between 4,000 and 6,500 snow leopards left in the wild.
Snow leopards are typically found in the mountains of Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and possibly also Myanmar (Burma).

Second, NSAIDs can directly cause opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which allows rapid influx of protons into the matrix. Finally, there is evidence that the hydrophobic NSAIDs accumulate nonspecifically in the mitochondrial membranes and cause membrane disordering, which also could contribute to the uncoupling effects (65).
The protonophoric activity of acidic NSAIDs shuttles the protons back into the matrix, first. Evidence indicates that the diphenylamine structure may also contribute to this effect.

Most of the patients with asymptomatic rise in transaminases do not develop overt hepatitis and do not usually require liquid viagra sachets any alteration in their drug treatment. This study underscores the point that clinically significant hepatotoxicity due to INH is very uncommon and a mere rise in transaminases does not warrant any alteration in ATT. The usual clinical course is gradual resolution of hepatitis within 1–6 weeks after INH is discontinued.
The incidence of INHinduced "clinical hepatitis" was 0.1% in those starting treatment and 0.13% in those completing the treatment , in a 6-year survey from a public health tuberculosis clinic in the United States. The reason for such a low incidence was that the patients were not routinely screened for a rise in transaminases and only patients with symptomatic hepatitis were included. However, if the drug is continued, patients may develop severe hepatitis, including fulminant hepatic failure.
