Ace nails it! No Obamacare? Guess who is still keeping his 'sham' insurance
So let me get this straight. Obamacare, nee Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), is suppose to be his signature legislation, and he's not signed up? If this is such a wonderful project and suppose to be the be all and end all for the American people and their health care, why haven't you, Mr. President, signed up for it?
What is in the forefront of my mind, do as I say and not as I do. This Obamacare is for the little people and not for those in Washington. What ever happened to equality and fairness? Can any statist minion defend this type of behavior?
Ace nails it! No Obamacare? Guess who is still keeping his 'sham' insurance: "

He's putting out the word: Sign up for Obamacare, exactly like I didn't.
Apparently he's staying on his 'old, crappy fake-sham Bad Apple insurance' as long as the law permits him to.
And maybe even after that — he can always suspend that part of the law, should it become inconvenient.

All Obamacare All the Time.
Ok, not really and yet we have a few story links to some things you might have missed and need to know about this ongoing train wreck.
Your ObamaCare Fail of the Day. Stephen Green has some questions about the inappropriately named "Affordable Care Act."
Just as elections have consequences, there are consequences of Obamacare. And of course it's not a consequence you knew about or saw coming unless you read the fine print. That of course means that you were able to get on line and were able to enroll.
And while we're on the subject of reading, the 217 page Obamacare training manual for the "Navigators" of the Affordable Care Act, has been released for us all to read and digest.
These are simply three of the ongoing issues, problems and piss poor planning of the Affordable Care Act. It is long past time to repeal, defund and put it behind us and return us to our rightful representative democracy.
Chaos: HHS "asks" insurers to extend multiple ObamaCare deadlines
So now HHS is asking to extend insurance policies that they previously required the insurance companies to cancel as they didn't meet the requirements? WTF?! It appears that the HSS has become a branch of the Keystone Cops.
Chaos: HHS "asks" insurers to extend multiple ObamaCare deadlines: "
Panic time.
The December 23rd enrollment deadline? Time to move that to next month. The deadline to pay your first month of premiums? Let's go ahead and move that back too.

Colorado and Obamacare.
But wait, I thought six days ago it was all fixed and people would be flocking to sign up and be healed from all their ailments?
P-P-PRETTY BAD NUMBERS: Even Liberal Pollster PPP Can't Shine The Obamacare Turd: "
Obamacare is so loathed in Colorado, even liberal pollster Public Policy Polling (PPP) can't shine that turd. In a poll released today, continued and widespread dissatisfaction was found with President Obama's signature legislative accomplishment.
When asked about the implementation of Obamacare, 70% of voters thought it was somewhat or very unsuccessful. As for the 4% who said it was 'very successful' – we'd sure love to get our hands on whatever they're smoking.
Where PPP's numbers differ is on Obamacare approval itself. According to PPP's survey, Obamacare has a 49% disapproval rating to 41% approval. Like everyone else polling the state they find the law is highly unpopular, but perhaps unsurprisingly they show it loathed less than every other recent poll.
Maybe that's why they decided to actually release their poll this time — after all PPP has a history of hiding polling results in Colorado it doesn't like.
In September, prior to the disastrous roll out of the law, USA Today found that Coloradans disapproved of Obamacare 52%-33%.
In late November, Quinnipiac found that Coloradans disapproved 56%-40%, with independents disapproving 59%-35%.
No matter how much you spin it, the bill that has come to define Barack Obama's legacy and the future political careers of Democrats in 2014 has become a serious political liability.

Sebelius Scandal.
And the scandal's just keep on coming.
And the continued flagrant violations by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Back in the fall of 2012, Sebelius got in hot water for a violation of federal law restricting political activity by sitting government officials.
The violation of the Hatch Act, occurred as the Secretary addressed a group in North Carolina. The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using their official authority to influence an election. However it does allow partisan remarks made in a personal capacity.
The US Office of Special Counsel and the ethics office found that Sebelius made the speech in North Carolina in her official capacity as the nation's top health official.
While this scandal isn't as flashy and full of intrigue as the others, this is one scandal that refuses to go away.
GOP Widens Probe of Sebelius Fundraising for Enroll America: "
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who obviously wields enormous power of the nation's health care industry, has been aggressively seeking donations from the industry to fund a private non-profit, Enroll America. The non-profit is led by veterans of the Obama White House and campaigns and has appointed itself a leading role in implementing ObamaCare. In response, House GOP members have launched a wide probe into the questionable solicitations.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (R-MI) suggested Friday that Sebelius's solicitation of donations from the health care industry raised a conflict of interest. He wrote 'HHS regulation of the health insurance industry will only grow under [healthcare reform], including by approving health insurers to participate in the exchanges.'
Under ObamaCare, the federal government will have even greater regulatory control over health insurers and health care providers. The rules promulgated by HHS will have very real consequences on their business. A request from Sebelius to donate to a private non-profit does not exist in a vacuum. Some unknown amount of consideration would have to be paid to the ramifications of not donating.
Enroll America has promised a 'campaign-like' approach to promoting ObamaCare. Administration officials have said the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a leading funder of left-wing causes, has committed $10 million to the effort. Tax preparer H&R Block has pledged $500,000, according to Obama officials.
Upton and some of his colleagues sent letters to a host of leading insurers, asking for all communications regarding the fundraising by Sebelius. Most have been asked to provide a response by Monday.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
I'm from Romania, I have an english-language website. Someone posted a link to my site a few minutes ago on a very popular Romanian forum that is related to the subject of my site.
I'm expecting a huge increase in click numbers, what should I do? Inform Google, ban Romania's class of Ip's?
Could this be a problem for my account, due to many clicks coming from my country?
Please someone answer, ASA it would be great if you had any advice.
I would be more concerned about having a "squeeky clean" adsense integration on the site. A really huge jump in impressions and clicks may trigger a manual peak at your site by an official adsense employee.
malasorte: Don't panic and enjoy the traffic and revenue, work on getting those new visitors to enjoy and bookmark your pages.
Would you really want to take the chance? Hopefully Google would try to determine if there is any link between the poster and the site targeted. All I can say is that I hope no such post happens with regards to my domains.
Look at it the other way. If it WAS safe to post on another domain to go to site X (your site) and click the heck out of the ads wouldn't everyone looking for easy money be doing it?
Generally such posts would be placed by one of two parties- someone looking to defraud Adsense or someone looking to get someone kicked out of Adsense.
My guess is that Google would kick first and ask questions later.
If I post in a forum an invitation to click on my competitors Google ads I can get them into trouble?
I thought your responsibility starts and ends at your own domain(s)
First, this could be considered fraud. Second, I would imagine that if Google found out that this was done by one competitor against another, they would immediately terminate the poster's AdSense account.
I would avoid this at all costs.

Amazon, Netflix and Streaming Svcs Could See an Influx in New Users if SOPA Passes 0 comments
December 20 2011
The day of decision is a big deal for those interested in the outcome of the latest proposal to combat online piracy. In the days leading up to a vote in the Senate for SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act, or HR 3261), which is scheduled for December 21 2011, there has been much heated debate. The bill's aim is to prevent the illegal use of copyrighted materials such as movies, music, and the sale of bootleg versions of prescription medicines, military gear and more; by paving a way for such materials to be blocked from internet access through strict domain server screening, the freezing of convenient profitability, and by stiffening the penalties for those streaming and receiving the items.
Each side of the issue has weighed in heavily with their concerns for, or against the measure. On the one hand it's argued that it equates to censorship and loss of protected freedoms, which would all but mean "the end of the internet as we know it." In another view it was claimed to be very dangerous for the safety of the internet from an overall security standpoint in that it "will break the assurances from this security tool (DNSSEC.)"
On the other hand content providers and copyright holders say they require more than the measures already on the books to protect them from further losses which they say the piracy costs them.
Industry giants could find their business directly affected should the bill pass. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO), and Ebay (NASDAQ:EBAY) through their association with NetCoalition Group expressed fears and criticism that the law would prove an overburden task for them to uphold. Paypal and Visa (NYSE:V) would also be directly involved by the sought changes in the law.
Other businesses such as proper streaming content providers like Netflix (NFLX,) Amazon (AMZN,) Hulu, HBO Go and other streaming content providers, could stand to experience an influx of users to their services if the law passes.

text: Energy Less Than Zero: Why Texas Power Generators Sell at a Loss By Mose Buchele • Apr 8, 2016 Filipa Rodriguez for KUT Last month, power plants and wind farms in Texas did something you wouldn't expect them to do. They offered electricity at a negative price. That's right. They basically offered to pay for someone to use the electricity they generate. Sounds crazy, but it's something that analysts expect will happen more and more often. Listen Listening... / 2:53 How US Power Grids are Susceptible to Foreign Hackers By Rhonda Fanning • Dec 21, 2015 Image via Flickr/Rachel Johnson (CC BY-ND 2.0) From Texas Standard: The next military conflict might not start with a bomb, but with a blackout. National security experts have long warned that the United States' infrastructure was vulnerable to hackers abroad. A few high profile cases have made headlines in recent years. In 2012 and 2013, Russian hackers were able to get into the U.S. public utilities and power generators to send and receive encrypted messages. Listen Listening... / 6:31 What Obama's Clean Power Plan Means For Texas By David Brown • Aug 4, 2015 Flickr/Beth Cortez-Neavel (CC BY-NC 4.0) From Texas Standard: The Obama administration announced what it calls the Clean Power Plan — an ambitious plan to dramatically reduce carbon emissions. From an international perspective, the plan could give the United States more weight in future discussions on curbing so-called greenhouse gases. But there's some politics here as well: The move is seen by many analysts as legacy-building, and there's no doubt Texas is in the crosshairs. Travis Bubenik of Marfa Public Radio has been following this for Inside Energy. Bubenik sat down with The Texas Standard to discuss President Obama's new Clean Power Plan. Up Close And Personal With A 40-Story Oil Rig In The Gulf By Jeff Brady • Aug 6, 2014 The U.S. is in the middle of an oil drilling boom that few people saw coming. After decades of decline, crude oil production is rising again. Technologies such as hydraulic fracturing in places such as North Dakota are getting a lot of attention. But the Gulf of Mexico still accounts for more than one-fifth of domestic oil production. EPA's Proposed Emissions Limits Drawing Debate By Neena Satija, Texas Tribune • Aug 6, 2014 Louis Vest via Texas Tribune GALENA PARK — In this city east of Houston, petrochemical facilities are a common part of the landscape and a major engine for the local economy. But they can also be heavy emitters of what the Environmental Protection Agency labels "toxic air pollutants," such as benzene, which have been linked to health problems like cancer, reproductive problems and birth defects. And at times, the facilities can emit huge amounts of pollution that normally wouldn't be allowed, but are exempt from rules because they happen only when facilities are starting up, shutting down or malfunctioning. 4 Ways Texas Could Win Big Under New Climate Change Rules By Terrence Henry • Jul 29, 2014 Jonathan Warner/Flickr Earlier this year, the earth hit a frightening milestone: carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached its highest level since humans have inhabited the earth. The last time there was this much carbon on the planet was nearly a million years ago. As the heat-trapping gas proliferates, the world warms, and the climate effects domino: droughts intensify, floods increase, ice melts and seas rise. The question now isn't whether human activity is changing the global climate; the question is what to do about it. Denton Council Punts Fracking Ban Proposal To Voters By Jim Malewitz, Texas Tribune • Jul 16, 2014 World Resources Institute via Texas Tribune From The Texas Tribune: DENTON – Voters will decide whether this North Texas college town will become the state's first city to ban hydraulic fracturing. After a public hearing Tuesday night that stretched into Wednesday morning, the Denton City Council rejected a proposal to ban the method of oil and gas extraction inside the city, which sits on the edge of the gas-rich Barnett Shale. The 5-2 vote kicked the question to the city's November ballot, the next step in a high-profile property rights clash that will likely be resolved outside of Denton. How One Austin Home Produces More Energy Than It Uses By Terrence Henry • Jul 14, 2014 Mengwen Cao for KUT News From StateImpact Texas: As the mercury rises in Texas, so does our energy use. Air conditioners will work overtime to keep your house cool. And when that happens, the Texas grid can become stretched thin. One solution is to build more power plants to meet growing demand. Another is to simply get Texans to use less energy. As Renewables Grow in Texas, Battles Over Fees and Subsidies Emerge By Mose Buchele • Jun 25, 2014 Mose Buchele/StateImpact Texas From StateImpact Texas: In the coming years, the federal government wants Texas to reduce its carbon emissions by about 40 percent. With a goal like that, you might expect to see more programs aimed at promoting renewable energy in Texas. But something like the opposite appears to be happening. Donna Nelson, chair of Texas' Public Utility Commission, asked last month if wind power generators, not Texas utility customers, should pay for upgrades to transmission lines. The Commission regulates the state's electric grid, among other things. Texas Oil Industry Keeps Wary Eye On ISIS By David Brown, Emily Donahue & Alain Stephens • Jun 20, 2014 https://www.flickr.com/photos/chesil/ While the crisis in Iraq is half a world away, it's impact can be felt here in the U.S. The rapidly destabilizing region is a base for major Texas oil companies, some of whom have had to evacuate the increasingly hostile environment. New Carbon Rules Could Have Big Impact on Texas By Terrence Henry • Jun 2, 2014 Andy Uhler/KUT News Big changes could be coming for Texas power plants. The Obama administration is announcing new rules today aimed at cutting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants – the chief culprit behind global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel power plants in the U.S. by 30 percent (from their 2005 levels) by 2030. That "is equal to the emissions from powering more than half the homes in the United States for one year," according to the EPA. In Texas, that drop will need to be even higher: the state's carbon emissions from the power sector will need to fall 39 percent by 2030 under the proposal. Oil and Gas Companies Are Now Poaching Employees From Each Other By Nathan Bernier • May 6, 2014 https://flic.kr/p/xzPDU The global boom in energy production driven by fracking and horizontal drilling is leading to a shortage of skilled workers. A new report by the human resources firm Mercer says two-thirds of oil and gas companies are now poaching employees from their competitors. "The industry seems inclined when an individual is trained and developed by a competitor to, especially in the first five years of employment, go after that key talent, as opposed to training and developing their own," says Philip Tenenbaum, a senior partner at Mercer. He says in some cases, the practice has become quite overt. Texas' Biggest Power Company Files For Bankruptcy By Eyder Peralta • Apr 29, 2014 As they say: Everything is bigger in Texas. Today, the state's biggest power company filed for one of the biggest Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings in corporate history. You Can Buy Your Way Into Texas' Oil Boom. But Is It Worth It? By Emily Donahue & David Brown • Mar 31, 2014 Larissa Liska In the history of Texas, few figures are as colorful as the wildcatters: oil prospectors who gambled big on the lure of black gold and striking it rich, or went broke trying. But what if you could be a wildcatter with a click of the mouse? According to a company selling stakes in rigs right now, you too can own an oil well – or at least part of it – right here in the states. Cleanup Continues After Oil Spill Near Houston Ship Channel This post was updated at 4:47 p.m. ET. The cleanup of an oil spill near the Houston Ship Channel is continuing today, and authorities say they have opened one of the country's biggest ports in a limited capacity this afternoon. Seeking Energy Independence, Europe Faces Heated Fracking Debate While watching the turmoil in Ukraine unfold, you may feel as though it has little to do with the United States, but the conflict is stirring a contentious debate in Europe over a topic familiar to many Americans: fracking. Much of the continent depends on Russian natural gas that flows through pipelines in Ukraine. European countries are asking themselves whether to follow the U.S. example and drill for shale gas. Why You Should Pay Attention to the Race for Railroad Commission By Mose Buchele • Feb 25, 2014 Mose Buchele From StateImpact Texas: In an often-quoted scene from the 2007 movie "There Will Be Blood," sociopathic oilman Daniel Plainview meets his rival for the last time. If oil fields are like milkshakes, he says, it pays to have a straw that reaches all the way across the room "and starts to drink your milkshake." "I. Drink. Your. Milkshake," Plainview screams maniacally, "I DRINK IT UP!!!!" This year, Texans will have the chance to vote for a seat on the Railroad Commission of Texas. But the commission has a lot more to do with milkshakes than railroads. It regulates oil and gas in Texas. KUT's StateImpact Texas Talks Keystone XL Pipeline on 'The Takeaway' By KUT Staff • Feb 5, 2014 flickr.com/shannonpatrick17 The controversial Keystone XL Pipeline is taking over national headlines again. Last week, the State Department released an environmental review of the pipeline, finding tar sands extraction would have little impact on greenhouse gas emissions. As KUT's StateImpact Texas reports, "tar sands oil will be extracted regardless of whether or not the pipeline is built." KUT's Mose Buchele talked with The Takeaway this morning about the impact that the largest oil producer in the world is having in Texas. U.S. Issues Keystone XL Pipeline Environmental Review By Scott Neuman • Jan 31, 2014 The State Department says that production of Canadian tar-sand crude, which has a bigger greenhouse gas footprint than other types of oil, is unlikely to be increased if the Keystone XL pipeline goes ahead — and therefore would do little to contribute to climate change. Meet the Answer to Texas' Air Conditioning Issues By Terrence Henry • Jan 30, 2014 flickr.com/dan_h From StateImpact Texas: For years, Texas has struggled with how to solve its energy crunch: forecasts said not enough power plants were being built to meet the demands of a growing population and a booming state. But it turns out the state's supplies are likely adequate. Despite all the growth in Texas, peak power demand hasn't increased as fast as expected. To understand why, it helps to start with those long, hot Texas summer afternoons just six months ago. Pages1 2 3 4 next › last »

A fine, old-fashioned 2 1/4 hours at the Bijou.
Stephen Hunter - Washington Post
The year's first serious contender for big prizes.
Desson Thomson - Washington Post
A patient, suspenseful exercise in genre craftsmanship.
Wesley Morris - Boston Globe
Charley's crusty assessment of events -- 'Nothing that's been happening in this town is much of a surprise' -- is all too knowingly accurate.
Mark Holcomb - Village Voice
A flawed but highly entertaining B Western blown up to John Ford scale.
Jack Mathews - New York Daily News
A great and beautiful Western in the classic vein.
Eric Harrison - Houston Chronicle
Open Range resembles a graduation ceremonies address. It's long, a tad pompous and sprinkled with occasional kernels of truth.
Philip Wuntch - Dallas Morning News
The first two hours of Open Range are a great pleasure, and the final minutes come as a vague indigestion.
Michael Booth - Denver Post
Peter Rainer - New York Magazine
An imperfect but deeply involving and beautifully made Western.
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
A strange mix of the grand and the hackneyed that it never really gets its bearings -- even though, at its best, it reminds us how grand, impure and potentially alive the Western genre can be.
Michael Wilmington - Chicago Tribune
An awesome compendium of cowboy-movie cliches. It borders on parody, and often crosses the border, rustling up a drove of oater aphorisms.
Steven Rea - Philadelphia Inquirer
Costner is not the most exuberant actor, but, for the most part, that's an asset here.
Jeff Strickler - Minneapolis Star Tribune
A harmless but singularly unremarkable oater that takes a long time to reach the Big Shootout.
Bill Muller - Arizona Republic
A juicy, character-driven western with a real plot that spins a hypnotic narrative.
Rex Reed - New York Observer
Todd McCarthy - Variety
A solidly crafted and entertaining old-school western.
Lou Lumenick - New York Post
Open Range is too talky, too corny and too long. Yet it gets so much right, from its simple affection for the sight of horses at full gallop to a climactic gunfight that sets a new standard for wit and excitement and right- eous revenge.
Roger Moore - Orlando Sentinel
A movie that seeks no higher calling than to entertain us the way Hollywood used to.
Peter Howell - Toronto Star
If the climax of Open Range is disappointing, the ending is almost intolerable, as the plot descends into a twinkling love story, and Costner reverts to filmmaking aimed at 12-year-olds.
Liam Lacey - Globe and Mail
This is a great two-hour motion picture. Unfortunately, it runs 20 minutes longer than that.
James Berardinelli - ReelViews
Too many lengthy silences and butt-scratching pauses.
Kirk Honeycutt - Hollywood Reporter
Purty but shallow.
Peter Travers - Rolling Stone
Some killing, but most violence is PG-13.
Nell Minow - Common Sense Media
The thunderous climax -one of the muddiest, bloodiest and most chaotic gunfights of the 2000s -makes it clear that Kevin Costner's plaintive, patient, slightly overlong Western was only sitting for a spell to race toward the finish.
Nick Rogers - Suite101.com
Range is handed a stunning period scope by Costner's directorial eye, while forming an unexpectedly tender core to help endear these character past their grizzled exterior.
Brian Orndorf - Modamag.com
Felix Vasquez Jr. - Cinema Crazed
Urban Cinefile Critics - Urban Cinefile
Something like...It's a Wonderful Life, only rich in slaughter.
Thomas Peyser - Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)
Joe Lozito - Big Picture Big Sound
Costner finds in the Western something grand, familiar and new within a genre that clearly has some life in it yet.
Christopher Smith - Bangor Daily News (Maine)
While equally paying homage to directors Peckinpah, Eastwood, and Kurosawa, what makes Open Range special is that it's a love story, too. And one peopled by endearing characters we're inclined to care about when the bloodletting has finally ended.
Kam Williams - Princeton Town Topics
Dean Essner - Empire Magazine
Dean Essner - Time Out
Dean Essner - Film Threat
Dean Essner - Independent
Open Range est tout simplement un bon vieux western qui fait plaisir a voir.
Louis-Jerome Cloutier - Panorama
... even though Costner's sense of a satisfying ending is a bit too ordinary and unimaginative, I found Open Range refreshing.
Jeffrey Overstreet - Looking Closer
Tony Medley - tonymedley.com
... needs a better story, better characters, better source material; and fewer aphorisms, fewer long glances and sweeping scores, fewer chunks of cheese.
Mark Collette - Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)
It's a considerable improvement over his last directing effort, the post-apocalyptic disaster The Postman.
Judith Egerton - Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
This one is for the Western fans who have been clamoring for classic tales of guns, revenge and a little hokey romance without an ensemble cast or gimmick to keep it afloat.
Matt Kelemen - Las Vegas CityLife
Christopher Tookey - Daily Mail [UK]
Matthew Turner - ViewLondon
Dean Essner - Apollo Guide
Nev Pierce - BBC
Does Costner think that none of us have ever seen a Western before?The film does have one hell of a good shootout at the end, But Lord, does he make you wait for it.
Brian Mckay - eFilmCritic.com
El film, hermosamente fotografiado por James Muro, es como un ejemplar perdido de una especie en extincion. Tambien lo es, en cierta manera, su coprotagonista Robert Duvall.
Enrique Buchichio - Uruguay Total
James Verniere - Boston Herald
...a cordial and welcome film with likable heroes, dastardly villains, and a rousing climax. It does nothing innovative, but it doesn't need to.
John J. Puccio - DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio - Movie Metropolis
Intriguing and clever enough to keep us gripped, even though nothing very surprising happens.
Rich Cline - Shadows on the Wall
Um faroeste habitado por personagens interessantes e que conta com um dos tiroteios mais realistas do genero.
Pablo Villaca - Cinema em Cena
[I]n Open Range, Costner sets out to boost the genre... with a... story that draws from the best traditions of the western without sinking into cliche.
Daniel M. Kimmel - Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Garth Franklin - Dark Horizons
The latest Kevin Costner vehicle is his best in years... and if you can get past the slow pace of the flick, it's a welcome change from this summer's other offerings.
David Foucher - EDGE Boston
Costner's epic, as director, is one to behold, not for its 24th hour sentimental about-face, but for the existential knack it has for the pacific, the stately and the quiet.
Jon Lap - Apollo Guide
Dean Essner - Boston Phoenix
It takes forever to get to where we've been before -- way out West, where the sun set on the western a long, long time ago.
Robert Wilonsky - Dallas Observer
Stephen Himes - Flak Magazine
An engrossing moral viewpoint combined with three solid star performances is more than enough to make Open Range one of the best of the modern day Westerns.
Mike McGranaghan - Aisle Seat
A terrific cast... and laudable ambitions more than make up for its meanderings.
MaryAnn Johanson - Flick Filosopher
Open Range is a bad case of a much too open-minded director in terrible need of a good lasso
Mike Sage - Peterborough This Week
'Open Range' is simply a grand cinematic experience.
Frank Wilkins - ReelTalk Movie Reviews
James Kendrick - Q Network Film Desk
Dean Essner - Orlando Weekly
Kevin Costner's return to the western genre is a classicist revenge drama that takes its time in becoming one and is richer as a result.
Jeremy Heilman - MovieMartyr.com
None of it is exactly new, but in his thorough understanding Western movie conventions Costner displays real faith in the things he's recycling.
Mark Palermo - Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
The ride is worth taking and it's Costner's best work in many a year.
Eric Lurio - Greenwich Village Gazette
A welcome return to the Western and more specifically to the romantic West.
Mark Dujsik - Mark Reviews Movies
... Open Range ambles into view, offering a timeless reminder of the power and pleasures a gosh-durn, honest-to-goodness Western provides.
Carol Cling - Las Vegas Review-Journal
The clumsy dialogue shows no respect for the audience and essentially derails what could've been a very good film.
John Venable - Supercala.com
It may not have the Duke's boots to walk in, but Open Range covers a lot of ground just fine with its own.
David Keyes - Cinemaphile.org
If you have two hours to live, see this movie ? it will make those two hours seem like two weeks.
Blake French - Filmcritic.com
Costner has not only salvaged his own career with Open Range, but just may have done for the Western what Moulin Rouge! and Chicago did for the musical.
Ken Hanke - Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
There's not enough - well, hardly anything - new here to call Open Range a great Western. But it's probably as good as we're going to get and as good as it needs to be.
Paul Povse - State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL)
Mark Halverson - Sacramento News & Review
The casting of this film may be its greatest asset: Duvall and Costner have the easy familiarity of longtime partners.
Terry Lawson - Detroit Free Press
Thankfully the director who made Dances With Wolves shines through here, mostly overshadowing that guy who gave us Waterworld and The Postman.
Rachel Deahl - Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA)
Just when the Hollywood western genre seemed long ago ridden off into the sunset, here thunders back Open Range with double barrels ablaze.
Steve Crum - Kansas City Kansan
This ain't no Kevin Costner pitcher. This here belongs to Robert Duvall.
Linda Cook - Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
...one of the best films of the year.
David Nusair - Reel Film Reviews
Somewhere beneath the syrupy melodrama and the scenes that should have expired long ago, there is an intelligent, thoughtful western in waiting.
Addison MacDonald - Premiere Magazine
An old-fashioned cowboy movie that sticks to the genre's roots with a little jigging and tweaking to remain relevant for current audiences.
Ryan Cracknell - Movie Views
This is probably one of the best westerns made since Kevin Costner first hopped on a horse in Silverado.
Kevin Carr - Film Threat
It's a grand old western the way they used to make 'em, simple and elegant and cool and dusty and marvelous... the best western made since Unforgiven.
David Cornelius - eFilmCritic.com
An exhilarating fusion of new and old Hollywood that proves there's still life left in one of film's oldest forms.
Rick Kisonak - Film Threat
The presence Duvall and Costner bring to the screen is only matched by Costner's ability as a director to take the dark material of Open Rangeand make it feel classic.
Jimmy O - Film Snobs
Open Range, in spite of being a greatly entertaining film, isn't Oscar quality. But Duvall's performance is.
Audrey Rock-Richardson - Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)
Marred by an unearned solemnity and an ill-advised romance, the film is still the best western in years.
Daniel Eagan - Film Journal International
Mark R. Leeper - rec.arts.movies.reviews
Susan Granger - www.susangranger.com
Costner's film is steeped in the tradition of John Ford and the great westerns of the 40's and 50's
Robin Clifford - Reeling Reviews
I started a thinkin how cum Kevin Costner couldn't a made a better movie. I shor nuff liked his Dances with Wolves but he jes moseyed round a lot more in this piture. Why there twern't a lot o action.
Leonard Klady - Movie City News
Kevin Costner brings us another epic Western, but Robert Duvall steals the show.
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone - TheMovieChicks.com
Costner tends towards humorless earnestness for his romantic American hero, but he has the good sense to pair himself with the gruffer, glinting irreverence of old pro Duvall.
Laura Clifford - Reeling Reviews
Costner aside, it is a very nice film, eminently watchable and praiseworthy.
Eric D. Snider - EricDSnider.com
Leonard Maltin - Leonard Maltin's Picks
Not without its charms.
Marjorie Baumgarten - Austin Chronicle
Open Range is far from the worst film of the year, but it does test one's endurance like no other.
Dustin Putman - DustinPutman.com
Not up to the level of the best of the genre, but it is a solid, well-crafted movie.
Robert Roten - Laramie Movie Scope
Kevin Costner's new Western is a showdown movie in the mold of High Noon, but because it's Costner, nothing really happens until, like, 3:15.
Gary Thompson - Philadelphia Daily News
Open Range is actually pretty good.
Glenn Whipp - Los Angeles Daily News
A pretty decent little movie.
Jeff Vice - Deseret News, Salt Lake City
As comfortable as a well-worn saddle, Open Range is something you might have caught one Sunday afternoon on Turner Classic Movies.
Jeffrey Westhoff - Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
There's a fine little western lurking inside Open Range: Too bad it gets drowned out by director Kevin Costner's pretentiousness.
Rene Rodriguez - Miami Herald
Despite some lapses in taste at the end, Open Range is competently directed, though rarely inspired. No one is going to mistake Kevin Costner for John Ford.
Bruce Kirkland - Jam! Movies
one of the best black comedies ever made
Jim Chastain - Norman Transcript
Kevin Costner's Open Range only proves it's time for this cowboy to hang up his spurs.
Kit Bowen - Hollywood.com
Once you are drawn into the nuances of the story, you'll find you're pretty much at home on the 'Range'.
Staci Layne Wilson - Fantastica Daily
...a movie my 79-year-old grandfather will love. And I can't think of a better compliment.
Josh Larsen - Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)
Robert Duvall brings an authenticity to his performances that puts any movie he appears in ahead of the game from the start.
Brian Webster - Apollo Guide
With actors less sure than Duvall and Bening alongside him, Costner's old-fashioned Western would collapse. With them in the saddles, it rides into the sunset in high style.
Lawrence Toppman - Charlotte Observer
Costner delivers a methodical paean to the old west and to old westerns.
Boo Allen - Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
If you grew up on Westerns, which are now an old-time religion, Open Range is a ride you want to share.
David Elliott - San Diego Union-Tribune
Costner saves his best work for the finale, an electrifying gun battle that steers clear of Western cliches to re-create the chaos and brutality of a place thick with flying bullets.
Sean Means - Salt Lake Tribune
Kevin Costner is back in the saddle again, and people are going to start using "Oscar" and "Costner" in the same sentence again.
Michael Szymanski - Zap2it.com
[A] relaxed, beautifully photographed Western.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) - St. Paul Pioneer Press
A pure Western through and through-when the heroes have to strap on their six-guns, they do so without a moment's hesitation and kill without regret-and demonstrates that the old ways still have a bit of life to them.
Peter Sobczynski - Critic Doctor
Although Open Range is far from perfect, it offers some of the rudimentary pleasures of the Western.
Robert Denerstein - Denver Rocky Mountain News
A great big western.
Dean Essner - E! Online
The final shootout belongs in the Western pantheon with the poetic, anti-heroic shootouts in Anthony Mann's The Far Country and Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller.
Jeffrey M. Anderson - San Francisco Examiner
Open Range is not in the same league with Dances, but this compelling drama stands on its own as one of the best films of the summer.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com) - CNN.com
A leisurely elegy for the American West with Kevin Costner's Unforgiven written all over it.
Maitland McDonagh - TV Guide's Movie Guide
Filled with cliches.
Dennis Schwartz - Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Costner doesn't seek to reinvent the classic Westerns as much as simply honor them. On those modest terms, he succeeds.
Dave Tianen - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
One of 2003's best films.
Wade Major - Boxoffice Magazine
Open Range is a Western in which the carts pull the horses.
Mick LaSalle - San Francisco Chronicle
Open Range is not the Western's last hurrah, but it may be Costner's.
Todd Gilchrist - FilmStew.com
Proves the new-fashioned western can deliver good old-fashioned entertainment.
Jeffrey Chen - Window to the Movies
Easily qualifies as the best Western since Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven.
Jack Garner - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Dean Essner - St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Has a pace as laconic as its director's screen persona.
Moira MacDonald - Seattle Times
Western's sincerity and Robert Duvall's warm, fascinating lead performance can't make up for a rough ride with an uneven tone.
James Rocchi - Netflix
Open Range is a bit like Charley himself: competent, flawed, unglamorous, grim but not unhopeful, it gets the job done
a simple, uncluttered tale of honor, loyalty, freedom, and frontier justice.
Steven D. Greydanus - Decent Films Guide
Cynthia Fuchs - PopMatters
Ultimately it was the characters that drew me in, specifically Duvall and Costner's.
JoBlo - JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Dean Essner - Baltimore Sun
(CNN.com) Paul Clinton - CNN.com
[A] very special and singular film
Joe Baltake - Sacramento Bee
A film that recycles familiar elements from a variety of cowboy classics but still establishes and maintains its own unique sensibility.
Robert W. Butler - Kansas City Star
A rousing addition to that most American of film genres, the western.
Timothy Knight - Reel.com
This is by far the best film Costner has made in the past six years. As always, his direction misses no details, instilling considerably more sensitivity in the movie than you might expect to find in a Western.
James Sanford - Kalamazoo Gazette
(Costner) musters quiet moments of humbling tenderness and knee-buckling violence, and also knows when one should outweigh the other.
Sean O'Connell - Eclipse Magazine
A good film struggling to free itself from directorial excess. . . . Open Range strives for the heft of [director Kevin] Costner's signature work, Dances With Wolves," but this tale is too simple for the royal treatment.
Forrest Hartman - Reno Gazette-Journal
The best duster since Clint Eastwood's 1992 triumph Unforgiven.
Louis B. Hobson - Jam! Movies
A Western without irony or innovation, without any of the overt efforts toward 'revisionism' we've come to expect even from Eastwood.
Scott Foundas - L.A. Weekly
Roaming the Old West with old hands like Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner is always worthwhile.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Costner delivers black-and-white simplifications -- the unequivocally right, justified in doing whatever they want against the demonized wrong. It's a film for the George W. Bush era.
Arthur Lazere - culturevulture.net
Open Range does not reach the heights of such classic Westerns as Red River or Unforgiven. It strives to be classy, which is one of its faults.
Bob Bloom - Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Dean Essner - AV Club
From its gorgeous photography...to its brutal, wide-ranging, Peckinpah-worthy climactic shootout, this is some of Costner's best work.
Rob Blackwelder - SPLICEDWire
It may be time for some cowboy heroes again.
Nell Minow - Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Somewhere in there is a pretty good western. If only we could see more of it amid the ballast.
Rob Vaux - Flipside Movie Emporium
After a long string of bombs, Costner delivers a real winner that will remind people why he won an Oscar for Dances with Wolves.
Bill Pearis - Citysearch
The actors are so good that you could almost live with the man's- gotta -do-what -a-man's -gotta-do excesses of Craig Storper's script.
Gene Seymour - Newsday
Costner seems to fashion himself as a modern-day Frank Capra, pitting his flawed but morally centered heroes against a system waiting to tear them to shreds.
Phil Villarreal - Arizona Daily Star
A striking, if flawed, achievement.
David Sterritt - Christian Science Monitor
A sincere, big-hearted attempt to revive the classic westerns of John Ford and Howard Hawks, Open Range is more good than bad.
Bruce Newman - San Jose Mercury News
Open Range puts Kevin Costner at the reins of a terrific movie.
Gerry Shamray - Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
Kevin Knows Westerns.
Kenneth Turan - NPR's Morning Edition
A gorgeously atmospheric, perfectly cast, beautifully crafted oater of the old school, made with heaps of integrity, no gimmicks and few concessions to the box office.
William Arnold - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Costner might not be able to act, but boy can he direct.
Danny Minton - KBTV-NBC (Beaumont, TX)
...bold, compelling and brilliant...
Tony Toscano - Talking Pictures (U.S.)
There's a good movie in here, but it's beat into submission by Costner execution.
Eugene Novikov - Film Blather
Costner approaches the project with an earnest nobility that's quite impressive, mainly because Earnest Nobility often becomes Unintentional Hilarity when coaxed too adamantly
Scott Weinberg - eFilmCritic.com
A flashback to both the great American western and a form of storytelling where gunshots were not an immediate reaction but a methodical inevitability.
Erik Childress - eFilmCritic.com
A long, slow-moving Western. But the killing is good!
Victoria Alexander - Movie Reviews in Croatian
Good old fashioned Western scenery. Great performance by Duvall. Slow at outset, weak accents, some holes, some implausibles.
Ross Anthony - Hollywood Report Card
If you like old-fashioned westerns filled with grandiose landscapes and even more extraordinary acts of heroism, this movie's for you.
Frank Swietek - One Guy's Opinion
Fits Costner's on screen sensibilities like a glove, making him seem as if he were born to play a craggy faced cowboy and nothing else.
Joshua Tyler - CinemaBlend.com
It won't be long before Kevin Costner films are viewed by prescription only._ No drug could come close to curing insomnia in the way that Kevin's latest movie does.
Alex Sandell - Juicy Cerebellum
Costner fans, fans of Westerns, and adults looking for entertainment free of special effects should find something to cheer about in this ode to a bygone era.
Rebecca Murray - About.com
In a summer where the Rocky-on-a-horse rip-off Seabiscuit is winning acclaim just for simply not being a sequel, here is a story that actually says something.
Fred Topel - About.com
Kevin Costner rises up from the carcass of his career to produce, direct and star in a flaccid ode to the classic Western.
Jeanne Aufmuth - Palo Alto Weekly
It also helps that Costner doesn't allow the hurt inflicted against his oppressed free grazers to approach the wearisome political correctness of his Dances With Wolves.
Ed Gonzalez - Slant Magazine
Affords the viewer a strong picture of the life of a 19th century cowpoke.
Harvey S. Karten - Compuserve
Not only one of the best of the few Westerns made recently, it's also one of the finest Westerns, period.
Steve Rhodes - Internet Reviews
The saga length of the story might have had more impact with less bloat and mythic gravity, a tendency that seems to pursue Costner like an underfed bronco.
Jules Brenner - Cinema Signals
This is one of the finest Westerns since Unforgiven.
Richard Roeper - Ebert & Roeper
A western that wrestles briefly with Unforgiven introspection before contenting itself with fiddling around with a gun/dog fetish.
Walter Chaw - Film Freak Central
Open Range is a romantic, beautiful, and delightfully authentic Western.
Emily Blunt - Blunt Review
Kevin keeps all the actors on screen at an energy level that wavers between laconic and stoic and stoic may be overstating the case just a smidge
Andrea Chase - Killer Movie Reviews

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- A plan to move high school principals around drew ire from community and board members at the Birmingham Board of Education's meeting Tuesday night.
Some parents, teachers and others connected to Carver High School aren't happy that the school's principal, Darrell Hudson, is moving to A.H. Parker High School. Supporters of Parker High aren't happy that their principal, Cedric Tatum, is moving to Hayes K-8 School.
The plan was approved despite concerns from board members who said they did not have enough time to review the changes. Board President April Williams said she was unwilling to vote to approve Hudson's contract because a proposed pay raise in the contract wasn't fully explained to the board, and she said she did not have enough time to consider the details.
Ed Richardson, the appointed chief financial officer leading a state financial takeover of the district, urged the board to approve the appointments because of timing.
"It is now late to be appointing principals to be getting ready for school, so we can't wait any longer," he said.
Richardson also accused the board of micromanaging, saying the board's responsibility is to address serious concerns with the superintendent's recommendations on personnel matters, not to evaluate every single detail.
Williams said the board was not micromanaging and said the issue was that Superintendent Craig Witherspoon had not given the information to the board early enough.
"If our educational leader did not present it to the board, you can't hold us hostage to make a decision tonight," she said.
Witherspoon amended his recommendation to give Hudson the standard pay according to the pay schedule after board members said his pay raise could have unintended consequences for the expectations of other employees.
"I'm afraid we're asking for a lot of trouble and it pains me because I do think this person has done well," board member Virginia Volker said.
Public outcry
In a public comment session at the end of Tuesday night's meeting, several people faced the board and voiced their concerns. Public comment sessions are typically reserved for the board's monthly work sessions, but Williams allowed a session at the end of Tuesday's meeting because of requests from the audience.
State Rep. Mary Moore, D-Birmingham, spoke to the board about the decision to move Hudson, the Carver High principal, to Parker High.
"There's a reason Mr. Hudson was successful at Carver," she said, noting that Hudson had been in the area long enough to get to know the community, the parents and the students. "And there is no documented evidence that he will be successful at Parker."
Moore, a former school board member, was also upset about the lack of a public comment session before the personnel items were approved.
"We don't need superintendents, we don't need school board members, if the public's opinion doesn't matter," she said.
A Parker High School supporter, Roderick Rox, said the moves will bring instability to the schools and will impair the progress that is happening. He said the people close to Parker don't want yet another new principal.
"All you've got to do is listen to the people and they'll give you the answer," he said. "I was rooting for the guy that moved."
Teach for America
Another hot topic among personnel issues Tuesday night was the growing number of Teach for America teachers entering the system. Many board members are concerned about the costs and qualifications of those teachers compared to traditional teachers.
Board President Williams was concerned that Teach for America teachers were being chosen at the expense of traditional teachers. She said she had heard of a few qualified and well-loved teachers whose contracts were not renewed while the number of Teach for America teachers increased.
"I'm not taking anything away from Teach for America teachers," she said. "I'm saying if I had the option of a certified teacher in front of my child that would be what I would choose."
Board member Tyrone Belcher said the district should prioritize teachers from Alabama, particularly graduates of local colleges, and that Teach for America teachers come from all over.
"We need to keep some of our teachers here," he said. "Our kids go and they work hard at these universities, they need the opportunity to come back home to teach here."
Superintendent Witherspoon said the district's 38 Teach for America teachers are about 3 percent of the overall teaching force.
"The vast majority of our teachers come from traditional teaching programs," he said, including Miles College, Auburn University and the University of Alabama.
Updated at 10:16 a.m. to clarify that public comment sessions are allowed at the board's monthly work sessions and are only rare at meetings where official business is being done.

The Olympic qualifiers in the FIBA Americas and Eurobasket tournaments seemed pre-ordained. Even the squads left to scrap for London bids sometime next summer appeared pre-determined. A few surprises have altered the field, but the favorites remain the likeliest nations to advance.
The contests conclude this weekend in Argentina and Lithuania, and U.S. hoops fanatics may starve when those arenas go dark. The nail-biters have been stirring and captivating enough to put clippers on every corner of the globe to shame. The routs have been comatose and hideous enough to rival Victor Frankenstein's monster after a Nyquil overdose.
As with most extended sporting events, a middle ground has emerged. The same rating system applies to players. Some have been extraordinary, many have been disappointing or caustic and some are mired in mediocrity. This column will highlight 10 competitors who have distinguished themselves in these FIBA tourneys. This piece features the athletes performing at their breathtaking best.
Readers will note the high concentration of current NBA players, but a few others cracked the list. I considered several items when constructing this: field-goal percentage, shot attempt averages, personal growth, fourth quarter and overall impact. I selected five contributors from the Argentina field and five from the Lithuania field.
A few Eurobasket aficionados may lambaste me for not including players from Lithuania, Serbia, Macedonia, unbeaten Russia or Turkey. Many more will decry my decision to pick just one Gasol brother. Sue me. There are plenty of numbers to call if you wish to do so.
I decided to add some honorable mentions (players I considered): Milos Teodosic, Marcelo Huertas, Andrei Kirilenko, Gary Forbes and Bo McCalebb.

A Rarefied Spiritual Struggle
One of the last instances of New Left terror occurred in 1978 when Red Brigade extremists abducted Italian politician Aldo Moro. The five-time prime minister was held for two months, tried by a "people's court," and executed. Marco Bellocchio's Good Morning, Night dramatizes this captivity as a rarefied spiritual struggle. The movie begins with a couple renting a flat; it's soon apparent they're preparing the apartment for something other than family life. One morning, Chiara (Maya Sansa) hears helicopters; she flips on the TV and all but levitates to learn Moro's been kidnapped. Bellocchio doesn't stage the abduction. Typical of his understated magic realism, he has a frantic neighbor hand her baby to Chiara at precisely the wrong momentinfant precariously parked on the couch as Chiara's comrades rush in with the crate containing Moro. A childlike creature captivated more by fireworks than ideology, Chiara provides the front of respectability; she's the only one with a job, a messenger between the worlds. Events are filtered through her consciousness, and the fatherly captive figures in her dreams. Irrationality is everywhere. Moro's family holds a séance, Moro pleads for an impossible "life sentence," and even his killers cross themselves before the deedwhich Bellocchio again declines to show. Good Morning, Night is sober yet filled with fancy. Chiara's last dream is a jaw-dropperas though Bellocchio imagined this cruel story through the wrong end of a telescope and staged it in a snow globe.

The hybrid bike is an innovation that blends together the features of the more customary road and mountain bicycles. The improvements in their robustness, handling and speed have made them a popular acquisition with bike enthusiasts for recreational use and also the daily commute. They are a multi-use bike in the respect they are suitable for tarmac as well as on rougher surfaces. With the market full of many different kinds of hybrid bicycle, eBay provides the best way to scour the different models available and acquire them at a more affordable rate than on the high street.
Features of a Hybrid Bike
Some of the recognisable features of a hybrid bike are listed below:
- They have a quite thin tire width and a bigger wheel circumference, so the bike will travel faster without as much effort.
- Hybrids are usually fitted with the same gear systems as mountain bikes, with between 21 and 27 gear options.
- They're built with a more upright frame that allows for a more proficient and comfortable riding position.
- Flat and straight bars on hybrids also help with maintaining this more comfortable seating position.
- The suspension is strong enough to absorb constant vibrations.
- They usually use the 700c tyre (a measurement of the outside diameter of a tire in millimetres) which is good for accelerating on tarmac and climbing.
- These tyres have a smooth centre line for faster and easier rolling on tarmac but also have the vigour to deal with off-road conditions.
- Accessories such as mud-guards, luggage racks and child seats can be added with ease onto a hybrid bike.
To get a further idea of hybrid bikes then below is some of the characteristics they have derived from more conventional bicycles. For example, from mountain bikes they have taken:
- A stronger frame that can handle increased weight.
- A frame that is useful for handling rougher terrain.
- A more comfortable riding position.
This is combined with some of the features of road bikes which are:
- Their increased speed due to lighter components.
- Their suitability for use on roads and pavements, such as the thinner tyre.
Why Choose a Hybrid Bicycle?
Bicycles are a brilliant way of travelling and keeping fit at the same time. They can be used for recreational use and also as part of a healthy workout regime. Their environmental advantages are favourable as well, reducing the carbon footprint of the user. Quite obviously, the financial savings over buying and maintaining a vehicle can be highly beneficial. Other reasons to choose a hybrid bike are highlighted below:
- If youare on the lookout for a bike, then the hybrid model is the safest way to go to guarantee an efficient purchase due to its multi-purpose nature. One of the most common uses of bikes is for commuting and whilst the hybrid is more than capable for this, it is also valuable for any lightweight off-road activities the user may participate in during holidays.
- The hybrid bike is also generally more comfortable than the road bike due to its more relaxed seating position. In addition, it takes the powerful braking system and hill-climbing gears from mountain bikes to provide the perfect bicycle for most general cyclists.
- They usually have a good selection of gears which can maintain control on different surfaces. Lightweight frames and the slimmer tyres can allow for a freer and smoother ride.
There a few limitations to hybrid bicycles that must also be considered. Although they are suited to more subtle off-road terrain, riding on extremely uneven or rocky surfaces are possibly not within its capabilities. Keep in mind though that the tyres can be changed to suit these conditions.
Advice on Buying a Hybrid Bike
There are a few basics to consider when purchasing a new hybrid bicycle. Before parting with money then take into account the following and spend accordingly.
- How often will the bike be used?
- What sort of journey will it be used for on a regular and occasional basis?
- What kind of surface will the bike be used on?
- Are there any concerns over where to store the bike, either at home or work? Is a folding hybrid bike necessary?
- Will any accessories be needed for the bike, i.e. a child seat?
- Will there be other people who may use the bike? What are their requirements?
- Will the bike be suitable for the riders' body physique?
- Would a road, touring or mountain bike be more suitable anyway?
- Is there a budget set in place?
- Is customisation of the bike a consideration? For example, the wheel size can be adjusted from the traditional 700c size suitable for road riding to thicker wheels better appropriate for mountain biking.
- Is the bike for a male or female rider? Women's hybrid bikes may have a more feminine appearance in their appearance and thinner frames, but there isn't much difference between the two. Look out for women's bikes from companies such as Ridgeback, Trek, Marin and Cannondale which all make models suited for the female market. Saddles with added padding can also be bought as an extra.
The frame size is also something to consider. Typical adult bikes have frames of between 12" and 26" which converts to between 31 and 65cm. (You can find out the frame size by measuring the top of the seat fame to the centre of the bottom bracket.) Different bike frames will be required depending on the size of the user. As an example, an adult with a 32 inch leg will require a frame between 17 and 19 inches. Adjust accordingly to meet smaller or taller riders. Certain websites can inform of which size frame to purchase.
After all of these aspects have been taken into consideration, it's crucial to think about the price you are willing to pay for a hybrid bike. As is usually the case with buying any item, the higher the price of the bike will mean better the quality of it. Evaluate how much it will be used and plan accordingly – a bike that may only be used sporadically will not need an investment of up to £1000 as some hybrid models at the top end will cost.
Where to Buy a Hybrid Bike From?
Check out specialist cycling shops that can offer first-hand advice on what sort of bicycle is most appropriate within a certain price range. It also allows for the shopper to try out the bike there and then, giving a first-hand account of such aspects as the size and seat position.
If looking online then eBay has a wide-range of hybrid bikes to cater the UK market. All the different top brands are on offer such as Boardman, Carrera, Trek and Sirrus– usually at more affordable prices than would be found from other cycling outlets. eBay allows for the user to browse through the options and check out any second-hand deals that are on offer from the comfort of home surroundings and at the buyers own pace.
Advice for Buying Hybrid Bikes on eBay
If deciding to make a purchase online, then eBay is the best option to find a decent hybrid bike at an affordable rate. Below are some common tips to help with finding the right bike and secure a transaction safely.
- First of all, use the search menu and type in "Hybrid Bike" or "Hybrid Bicycles." This will bring up all the listings available and should all be within the Cycling subsection of the Sporting Goods section on the left-hand side.
- By clicking on Cycling from the preference menu, more options will come up as to narrow the search even further. There are a few options such as 'Bike Parts' and 'Cycling Accessories' but to find the listings of hybrid bicycles then just click on 'Bikes.'
- Again look at the options on the left hand side of the page. Narrow the search down by selecting a brand, such as Ridgeback, Raleigh and Viking, or choose a model by what size frame is needed. Other preferences are frame colour, wheel size, condition and price.
Click through the bikes that are most suitable and read their description. Some listings will be listed as 'Buy It Now,' which means the bike can be bought immediately for the asking price. Many of these items may have been listed by actual cycling companies who are using eBay as a platform to sell their bikes. These can be very useful for buyers as expert advice about the bike will be on hand if choosing to 'Ask the Seller a Question.'
Make sure the item's description is carefully read and the sellers' history checked out. This can guarantee a safe transaction.
Hybrid bikes are popular with commuters and recreational cyclists alike as they are easy to ride and are comfortable – perhaps the two main considerations the general rider will look for. Mountain bikes tend to be quite heavy and can be a pain for daily road use. Road bikes may not be suitable for the daily commute as high speeds aren't necessarily required. Check out hybrid bikes on eBay to find the best deals make sure the purchase is the right one for you and your budget.

Multi-platinum pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen will step into the glass slippers of the title character in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. She takes over the part from Tony winner Laura Osnes on Feb. 4 and will be in the show for a 12-week limited engagement. Also joining the cast on the same date will be TV star Fran Drescher (The Nanny) who will be playing Cinderella's wicked stepmother, Madame. Both actresses are making their Broadway debut.
Canadian singer-songwriter Jepsen first achieved fame in the U.S. with her hit single "Call Me Maybe," which remained on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine consecutive weeks. For her debut album Kiss, released in 2012, she won the American Music Award for Best New Artist and was nominated for two Grammys for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. She appeared with Justin Bieber on his U.S. and European tours, headlined her own tour and is now working on her new album for release in 2014.
"Broadway has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and I look forward to working with this incredibly talented cast to tell this classic tale," Jepsen said in a statement. "These last few years have been a real fairy tale come to life for me, so I feel especially blessed to play this part and be reminded that you must never stop dreaming!"
Cinderella opened on Broadway on March 3, 2013. It was originally a TV special featuring songs by legendary team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, written especially for Julie Andrews and broadcast in 1957. It was remade for TV in 1965 with Leslie Ann Warren and in 1997 with teen singing idol Brandy. This new stage version has a revised book by Douglas Carter Beane (The Nance, Lysistrata Jones) and is directed by Mark Brokaw.

Grandma Moses FairUse ← → The Thunderstorm Grandma Moses Date: 1948 Style: Naïve Art (Primitivism) Genre: genre painting The Thunderstorm poignantly illustrates how Grandma Moses managed to combine intensely evocative renditions of natural phenomena with dramatic anecdotal detail. There are several levels of action in The Thunderstorm. Fierce storm clouds arc rapidly approaching over the mountains, and in the distance the trees have already begun to whip wildly in the wind. The artist's deployment of color to represent these events is extraordinarily acute: The parched yellows of a late summer meadow, the varied greens of the trees, and the shifting colors of the sky before the advancing torrent are all keenly observed. In the foreground, Moses presents the human reaction to the oncoming threat. There is a mad rush to get the hay into the barn and, at middle distance, a black horse bolts in terror. The girl in the yellow dress is frozen in mid-run, while strangely, behind her to the left, two other children seem oblivious to the commotion. The abstract forms used to render all the human and animal activity stand in sharp contrast to the impressionistic interplay of colors in the landscape elements of the composition. This juxtaposition of abstraction and realism was one of the principal cornerstones of the "Grandma Moses style."
