Stout takes on Stephens
Story by Anthony Springer, Jr.
It's not unreasonable to think people are expecting a finish every time you step in the Octagon when your nickname is "Hands of Stone."
With a moniker that screams "knockout artist," Sam Stout (21-5) isn't concerned about the lack of exciting finishes on his UFC resume. Prior to his 2006 debut, Stout, 26, recorded six stoppages in ten fights . . . Click here for more

Provides an overview of the administration and key findings of the Second International Self-Report Survey conducted in Venezuela in 2006. The sample comprised 2,395 secondary school students selected in the cities of Caracas and Mérida and in three small towns.In general, Venezuelan secondary school students appear to have quite low levels of delinquency, especially serious delinquency, or at least a low disposition to report such behaviours in a survey. While bivariate analysis identifies many significant variables, which describe adolescents' interactions with peers, the nature of peer group activity, the perceptions of crime and deviance in the school or neighborhood, and the experience of victimization, multivariate analysis reveals that it is the deviant nature of peer and peer group activity, together with victimization, which (along with gender and socioeconomic level) emerge as the significant predictors of delinquent behaviour.

The sexual depravity of a Hastings man who filmed the abuse of children to distribute to other paedophiles is the worst case a local detective has seen.
Aaron John Ellmers, 41, considered to be at the "absolute highest end" of child sex offending, was yesterday sentenced to preventive detention with a minimum of 20 years for 60 charges related to sexual offending against children andthe possession of child pornography.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Greig, part of the Eastern District Child Protection team, said the extent of the grooming and the steps the offender was prepared to take to secure access to an 18-month-old for sexual gratification set the case apart from others he had seen.
"The number of victims is not that uncommon, neither particularly is the age of the victims - but the overall circumstances set it apart," Mr Greig said.
"The extent of the grooming, the fact he recorded the abuse, the use of drugs to stupefy at least one of the victims and the steps he was prepared to take to engage in sexual activity with an infant.
"And the fact it's all been recorded and shared. That can never be taken back."
Mr Greig said what made it worse for the investigation team was the process of trying to identify the victims.
"We had the footage and we had a recording of him describing many of the details but we had to work to identify the victims. That's what made it very real for the team, we had to view all of those images and recordings.
"And then we had to tell the families. That was probably the worst bit for us. We really feel for them: However hard it was for us, it's nothing compared with what they've endured."
He said the news came as a complete shock to the families of the victims.
"For them there was shock, disbelief, denial. The sentencing was very difficult for them as it's probably the most detail they've had. It's very hard to hear."
The sentence of preventive detention came as a relief to the families, Mr Greig said, noting it was the best possible outcome in the situation.
"We believe it to be one of the longest, if not the longest, minimum parole periods for a sex offender ever. The families are relieved he will likely never be in a position to offend again - that's really important to them"
During his sentencing in High Court at Napier, Justice Edwin Wylie described the offending as "utterly depraved".
Despite the likely length of a finite sentence, Justice Wylie did not believe it would be adequate to protect the community from a man he said had "wormed" his way into a position of trust. Only the High Court could impose a sentence of preventive detention. He would be released only if authorities were satisfied he no longer represented a significant risk to the public.
Among the 60 charges detailing horrific acts of abuse were dozens relating to the possession and trading of child pornography; images and materials which the court heard were said to number in the thousands on Ellmers' computer.
Ellmers bowed his head during sentencing to avoid the media cameras, while a relative of one victim wept in the public gallery.
After reading victim impact statements, Justice Wylie said it was clear his offending had "a very real impact on both families".
"His [victim's] mother explains how her world was blown apart when she became aware of the offending," he said. She had lost her "will to function" and lost her job because she was not prepared to leave her children alone. "The family has become extremely protective and they were devastated when they found out about the abuse.
"There is a very real concern the effects on the children will only become apparent when they get older. It is readily apparent that you are a serial paedophile."
The 60 charges included sexual violation, making an intimate visual recording, dealing in people for sexual exploitation and attempted sexual conduct with a child aged under 12. Many charges were representative, meaning the offences occurred on numerous occasions.
Two other men have appeared in courts across the country facing charges in relation to an alleged paedophile ring Ellmers was a part of. The specialist police team which first identified Ellmers (Oceanz - Online Child Exploitation Across New Zealand) made 35 referrals to overseas jurisdictions, including Australia, the UK, the US and Canada.
Offending against the first victim started when the child was three - after he made significant steps to groom the child. Another victim was aged nine when the offending started. This child was plied with money and given alcohol and cannabis. There was video evidence of the offending on a camera memory card in Ellmers' possession.
A third potential victim was a child aged 18 months. Ellmers had flown across the country and paid $500 to the child's father for "sexual gratification" with the toddler, but was arrested before he had the chance.
The father, a 27-year-old from South Canterbury whose name is suppressed, pleaded guilty to multiple sex offences in March and was due to be sentenced next month.
"Mr Ellmers is very skilled at presenting himself in a manner to suit his own ends and has demonstrated this in his ability to convince parents to have him care for their children without arising any suspicions on their part. However, his actions provide one with the opportunity to evaluate his true character and his benign presentation conceals a callous nature where his focus is on fully satisfying his own deviant sexual needs with no consideration for the rights and feelings of his victims and their families.
"Mr Ellmers also manifests a sense of arrogance with his rapid return to offending following his incarceration in Australia. His skill at obtaining victims and grooming parents likely provides him with a measure of pride and satisfaction."
Aaron John Ellmers was born in New Zealand but moved to Australia in 1999 to take up employment as a truck driver.
In 2005 he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for rape, attempted rape and five counts of indecent treatment of a child under 12. This was for several months of abuse of an 8-year-old boy he had groomed.
He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in late 2005. He was deported back to New Zealand after serving 18 months of his sentence and having undertaken counselling.

Date of Stay: April, 2008
Many sites are too close together. There is an area across the road that provides wider sites but the Wi-Fi at those sites was not working. The owner is working on having that problem resolved. Staff are friendly and helpful. There appears to be about 30 permanent residents who have a number of the better sites.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
The park is well maintained with a helpful staff. Plenty of trees provide shade, but still allow room to maneuver your rig. Road construction makes finding the park a little difficult but worth the effort. The blue heron nests within the park provide entertainment for the guests. We stayed here in a fifth wheel for two nights, and would stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2008
The construction close to the park does make it a bit difficult to find. The park is very clean, staff friendly and helpful, pool area is good, easy access to many activities and events. It was a safe environment for our family. We were disappointed there was no cable television available. We stayed here for a month, and would stay here again.

Men's Tennis Falls To Tech In
Feb. 12, 2011
ATLANTA --- The Georgia men's tennis team won the doubles point but went on to drop a five-hour grinder to Georgia Tech, 4-3, Saturday afternoon at the Bill Moore Tennis Center in Atlanta.
The loss was Georgia's first against Georgia Tech since 1988 and snapped the Bulldogs' 24-match winning streak over the Yellow Jackets. It was head coach Manuel Diaz's first loss to Tech since he took the reigns.
"We played a classic today," Diaz said. "This was a great college match. Both teams had opportunities to win but they made the big plays when it mattered. Give Tech credit. We have to bounce back with the heart of the Bulldog and I know we will."
No. 11 Georgia falls to 5-2 on the season and 0-2 on the road, while 21st-ranked Georgia Tech improves to 6-1.
Georgia started the day hot, winning the doubles points with wins at Nos. 1 and 3. First off was the No. 1 team of 14th-ranked Javier Garrapiz and Hernus Pieters, who defeated the No. 8 team of Kevin King and Juan Spir, 8-4, to improve to 4-2 on the season. That was followed by an 8-6 win at No. 3 for Wil Spencer and Drake Bernstein over Guillermo Gomez and Dean O'Brien to stay perfect at 6-0. The No. 2 team of Sadio Doumbia and Ignacio Taboada trailed Tech's Eliot Potvin and Ryan Smith, 6-4, when the match was suspended and Georgia took an early 1-0 lead heading to singles.
It became knotted at 1-1 as Garrapiz fell to No. 48 Spir, 6-3, 6-4. Georgia then took a 2-1 lead as 47th-ranked Doumbia defeated Potvin in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, securing the junior's team-leading 22nd win of the season.
Next off was court one, where Spencer was bested by 12th-ranked Gomez, 7-5, 6-3, as the score was tied again at 2-2. It would stay there a while, as Bernstein overcame a 6-3 first-set deficit to force three sets and rallied to earn a 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 win over King, pushing Bernstein to 18-5 on the year and giving Georgia a 3-2 lead with two courts still on.
The freshman Pieters went down 5-2 early in the first set at No. 5, but came back to force a tiebreaker vs. Magin Ortiga. Ortiga pulled it out, 7-2, and defeated Pieters 6-3 in the second set to tie the score at 3-3, with the decider set to come at No. 6 between Taboada and O'Brien.
Taboada won the first set 6-4, but O'Brien rallied for a 6-3 win in the second. Taboada took a 4-3 lead in the third set and broke O'Brien to take a 5-3 lead with the chance to serve for the match. But O'Brien broke back to make it 5-4 and fought off two match points to hold and tie it at 5-5. O'Brien then broke the Georgia junior again to take a 6-5 lead and closed it out 7-5 to give Georgia Tech its fourth singles win on the day and the historic win over the Bulldogs.
Georgia is now 57-9 all-time vs. Georgia Tech and 50-2 since 1969.
The Bulldogs are next in action Feb. 18-21 at the ITA National Indoors in Seattle. Georgia is still awaiting its seeding for the tournament. Follow along with the Georgia Tennis Live Chat as long as the Bulldogs are in action on the West Coast.

I bought a K&N air filter for my 87 K75S and tried to install it. After 20 minutes I gave up.
What a pain in the butt! The stock filter slides in easily and fits.. I can't get the air box to snap tight around the K&N filter?? I read the instructions and followed them.. but it appears that the filter is just a little too long.
Any suggestions to get this filter in easier?

We have looked at the hidden dependencies around upgrades (Cloud Dependency: Automated Upgrades) as well as the hidden dependencies around networking (Cloud Dependency: Ubiquitous Networking). Now, we will look at the hidden dependencies on visibility. Or more to the point, the lack of visibility within the cloud. With regard to visibility, the question most often asked is, "Do we know what is happening behind the scenes within our tenancy?"

RSA Conference Roundup
It has now been a few weeks since RSA Conference 2014. A number of very disparate items to consider were announced at the conference. We covered some of them on the Virtualization Security Podcast held at the NSS Labs hospitality suite at the conference. Yet there is still more to consider. The impact of the solutions presented and the conversations held at the conference are still being worked out. While RSA Conference seemed about one-third mobile, one-third analytics, and one-third everything else, the products below were chosen due to their impact on virtual and cloud environments.
Cloud Outages or What I learned at Disney/InfoSec World
At the InfoSec World 2011 conference, in the sessions I attended, there was quite a bit of discussion about moving to the cloud as well as cloud outages. What did I discover:
- Migration to the cloud requires planning and resources
- Migration to the cloud requires a team including legal
- Diversification is very important
- It must be easy to migrate
- Security as a Service is a valid option
- I should not lower my standards just to enter the cloud
Some of this was discussed at InfoSec World 2011, The Virtualization Security Podcast of 4/21, and while at Innovations at Epcot Center.
Security as a Service: Is it Safe?
Last week I spoke with two different Security as a Service vendors, each with their own approaches to security as a service. The first company I spoke to was Cloud Passage who just exited stealth mode in time for RSA Conference, and Zscaler who is a well known company. Both provide Security as a Service with a similar approach by a different design. Both make use of large grids or computers to do all the heavy lifting of security, but from there they differ completely. While there is some overlap in the products, the different designs show us multiple ways to implement Security as a Service.

DNA tests reveal that the two suicide bombers behind the attack on the Iranian embassy in Beirut resided in South Lebanon and were followers of Salafi cleric Ahmad al-Assir.
It was a sluggish weekend in Saida and its environs; the double suicide bombing of the Iranian embassy in Beirut resulted in a series of shocks for the area. On Friday night, November 22, the army command announced DNA test results on the remains of one of the bombers: Mouin Abou Dahr, 21, from Saida. Before the initial shock was absorbed, the army dealt a second blow: DNA from the second bomber belonged to Adnan Mohammed, 21, a Palestinian resident of Bisariyeh in Zahrani.
By Saturday morning, November 23, army intelligence learned more about the photo of the second bombing suspect. He looked similar to a Palestinian called Adnan Mohammed, who they had arrested in August 2012 in an incident of a sectarian nature in Bisariyeh, where he lived with his family. Adnan's father was summoned for interrogation, stating that his son had left his home at the beginning of the month. The report also noted that Adnan spoke to his family through Skype from Syria, without mentioning further details.
Chasing Assir Followers
Army intelligence gave the green light to resume the campaign of arrests against supporters of Salafi Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir. On Saturday, they detained Mohieddine B. after receiving information that he participated in the Abra battles and soon disappeared, fleeing to Jordan. Hilal A., another suspect, was also arrested.
An army unit raided the home of Mahmoud Gh. in Abra, owner of the mechanic shop where suicide bomber Adnan Mohammed worked. He disappeared the moment Adnan was arrested.
A few hours after the Iran embassy bombing, the Internal Security Forces (ISF) removed security checkpoints at the entrance of the commercial market in Saida, prohibiting the entry of all cars. Two days later, the measures were reimposed on the city. After discovering the identity of suicide bomber Abou Dahr, the army was put on alert in the city and began patrolling the streets.
Security measures at army barracks entrances were tightened and cement blocks were placed outside to deter car bombs. At the same time, a security source revealed that new reports began to surface related to threats against some local figures and security officials. Security sources advised sheikh of Imam of al-Quds Mosque, Maher Hammoud, to take security precautions.
Mouin Abou Dahr: Just Like His Sheikh
Until Sunday night, the Abou Dahr family refused to meet any strangers in their home in the Saida neighborhood of al-Bustan al-Kabir. An army patrol calmed the neighborhood's fears of retaliation against the family. The family, known to be politically moderate, issued a statement expressing "the deepest pain that one of our own is accused of the heinous and awful crime in Bir Hassan. We extend our condolences to the families of the victims, pray for the injured to be healed, and take refuge in God from this evil."
Although the family washed its hands of Mouin, it did not take a similar position when he joined the fighting in Abra against the army in June 2013. A relative, Fadi Abou Dahr, also participated in the battle and was detained by the army and taken to Rihaniyya prison.
A few years ago, Mouin began to visit Assir's Bilal bin Rabah mosque. He carried a gun and sometimes stood guard at the entrance along the mosque's security perimeter. As the Abra battle was about to end, he fled to an unknown location. News came out that he had left to Sweden to join his brothers and mother, then to Denmark, and then to Kuwait. However, it was later found out that he went to Syria to fight against the Syrian army.
Some Saida residents do not believe that Mouin's support of Assir could justify his committing this terrorist act. They indicate that this type of death is alien to Saida, which resisted the French and Israeli occupations. "The suicide bomber, or even the martyrdom fighter, is an alien concept to Saida," a resident of the city told Al-Akhbar. A former member of the resistance said that no fighter from Saida, "even at the height of faith in the resistance, never went to meet death on his own."
Tuffahta, the birthplace of Mouin's mother Kawthar Ammouri, also disowned him. The town is full of posters of martyrs from leftist parties, Palestinian factions, Hezbollah, and Amal. Its residents maintained that he hasn't visited since he was little. But didn't his mother's Shiism impact his upbringing? "This does not mean he cannot be sectarian or hateful," a town resident replied. "Sheikh Assir's mother is also Shia."
Abou Dahr family elders asked the security forces about the remains of Mouin. They were told that the military prosecution is keeping the remains of both bombers and has not decided to deliver them to their families yet. The bodies are being kept in a hospital in Beirut. However Adnan Mohammed's family did not request his remains.
Adnan Mohammed: Looking for Nidal
Bisariye gradually began absorbing the shock. Since the 1950s, the town has hosted many Palestinian refugees, who even established their own neighborhood. Adnan's family hails from Akka, Palestine and had lived in Tal al-Zaatar, before fleeing to Bisariye in 1976.
His mother, Fatima Kayed, is also from Akka. Her father left Bisariye during the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and settled in Yarmouk camp near Damascus before the current Syrian crisis forced him to return to the Lebanese town. The mother disowned her son and his uncle refused to collect his remains. The security forces, the municipalities, Hezbollah, and Amal are cooperating to protect the family from any reaction.
Some neighbors said that Adnan was "simple-minded" and doubted he was fully aware of what he was doing. They mentioned that he always skipped work in the mechanic's garage where he worked in the industrial zone in Saida. Most comments skipped over Adnan to mention his brother Ali, 24, who frequented Bilal bin Rabah Mosque to listen to Assir, before his father forced him to stop.
Ali broke off from Assir, but his neighbor and close friend 24-year-old Nidal M., who is also Palestinian, did not. "Look for Nidal, who disappeared last May," an informed source told Al-Akhbar. Nidal's father was also interrogated at army intelligence where he admitted that he had spoken to his son several times after he left to fight in Syria. Security services believe that he was among those whom Assir claimed to have sent to fight with the opposition in Qusayr.
A few months ago, Nidal, accompanied by Adnan, attacked his sister's home. She had eloped with their Shia neighbor and was pregnant. At the time, he said he based his actions on a sermon given by Assir, where the sheikh said he was allowed to slaughter his sister for marrying an infidel.
To manage the repercussions of the incident, a delegation from town visited Assir, who denied issuing such a fatwa. But the reconciliation between the two families did not please Nidal, who decided to leave "this Shia environment to live in Saida."
Preliminary investigations suggest that Nidal could have taken Adnan with him to Syria since they both disappeared around the same time. A security source revealed that another young friend of Adnan and Nidal, Marwan H., also disappeared around the same time. From the town of Yarin on the southern Lebanese border, Marwan lived in Bisariye with his family for years, much like hundreds of southern residents who were displaced by the 1978 Israeli invasion.
Marwan's family has not reported their son's disappearance until now, despite the passing of seven months.
Saida Condemns, but Where Are Hariri and Siniora?
Last Thursday, November 21, Lebanese MP Bahia Hariri held a meeting with the members of the Consultative Gathering in Majdelyoun. The meeting, attended by former Lebanese prime minister Fouad Siniora, began with a moment of silence for "the martyrs of the two suicide bombings targeting the Iranian embassy and the total rejection of such operations, which target Lebanese sovereignty."
As usual, in the meeting's final recommendations, Hariri did not forget to mention the Abra detainees: "The participants were also informed about the steps taken by judicial authorities to transfer them to prisons in Aley, Jezzine, and Roumieh. This file is in the hands of the military court, and we await the preliminary indictment, which should not take long."
The next day, when Mouin's identity was uncovered, few spoke in Saida of those who had condemned the suicide bombings. The city did not hear the comments of its two MPs, Siniora and Hariri, or about the involvement of one of the city's residents.
The leadership of the Future Movement visited the offices of al-Jamaa al-Islamiya where they declared that Mouin "only represents himself. He is an individual who does not represent the temper of his family or the moderate and conservative Saida." They hoped that "reactions to the incident do not spill into Saida."
Head of Saida municipality Mohammed al-Saoudi commented on the involvement of Mouin: "Saida and everyone in it condemn this act. If it turned out that one of the suicide bombers is from the city, it does not mean it represents its position. He committed suicide, not an act of martyrdom. Those who commit suicide will go to hell."
In terms of the city's religious leaders, only the imam of al-Quds Mosque, Sheikh Maher Hammoud, considered what Abou Dahr did "to be a virus infecting the city's residents, and the city urgently needs vaccination." As for Mouin's link to Assir, Hammoud maintained that the sheikh's supporters are still benefitting from political cover.

Where I stayed
Commercial Drive
One of the tasks Donna set us was to do a secret santa-esque prayer for each other, committing to praying for the person we picked out a hat overnight
Every Monday we go to another YWAMer's house for dinner- it's an important part of the YWAM values to practice hospitality, welcoming people into your home etc, which I love. So a couple of others and I went to Crista's house- she doesn't normally cook much, but as we were coming, she'd spent hours slaving over a chicken and pesto lasagna, which was incredible. Then it was my birthday on Tuesday – and courtesy of mummy and daddy Cobbold, we all went out for Thai on the Drive, followed by Italian icecream and then went on to a jazz bar for a cocktail. During the day I had my first Angel Food cake too, made by the lovely Henry (also from England!) on Wednesday evening a group of us went to a Jason Mraz gig which was awesome, and then on Thursday it was Trix's birthday so we went out for icecream again
One of our mini-tasks for the week was to talk to meet 3 new people on Commercial Drive. Before too long I was viewing every person as a potential conversation- which felt a little bit false- but it was fascinating to just realize that each and every person walking around here has a story they (mostly) want to tell. I met Mark in one of the druggy stores (selling bongs, marijuana scented body spray and the like) who spent 6 months in Ghana a couple of years ago and had a funny story about a goat on a bus. The next day I met Marie, a sixty or seventy-something (I would guess) year-old hairdresser, heavily made up, slightly incoherent and shaking, who went to the Reformed church of Jesus Christ and wanted to get out of her apartment because her neighbours were all hooked on crystal meth. I went with Johnny, a homeless guy who was trying to find some dinner for him and his girlfeidn, to the local Subway to get the biggest sandwich they could make for $5. All too often we just walk past every other person, never taking the time to stop and really look or consider what their lives might be like. Skip on by if this is getting a bit too philosophical for you, but I was kind of thinking of the potential in each street, train carriage or room
This weekend has been lovely though- the sun returned (after a torrential day of rain on Wednesday) and I had what can only be describd as a normal day yesterday. Heidi and I went to the local East Vancouver Farmers & Craft Market, and then I wandered up the length of the drive, and sat in the park reading my book for an hour or so. Michelle, who I met in tofino a couple of weeks ago, met me for lunch but was running a bit late, so I had half an hour reading the weekend papers over a latte, before a big brunch/lunch of scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and buttered baguette. All very good and was great to catch up with Michelle again and see a different face! I love the guys on the DTS but we do spend nearly every minute of the day with each other- so talking to someone different was refreshing! If you remember (and have been reading the entire blog), you'll remember that Michelle and I bonded over our love of food- and as a seasoned Vancouverite, she recommended this cookery warehouse. So off we trundled, and it was a veritable treasure trove… every trinket, gadget, foodstuff, decoration, storage and display case you (or perhaps that should read I) could dream of
Anyway I've rambled on for far too long – today has been a little less eventful. I went to church downtown again, then walked down to Stanley park for a picnic lunch and tried to get into a screening of The Insanitarium of Mr Something-or-other. I cant remember all that much about it, but it was super-popular because it was Heath Ledger's last film. They had a system of 'returns only' tickets available- and I happened to be in the area quite early, so I joined the queue about 20 people back, in the hope I could get a ticket. I knew it was fairly unlikely, but it was a sunny day on a pedestrianised street, and I've just bought a new book so other than the fact I was standing, I had a very pleasant 80 minute wait, and wasn't too disappointed when they eventually turned us away as they were full. Pretty exhausting though! Sunday evening I have been writing this and we're just about to watch Gladiator. Need a night off before the next intense week of teaching begins. I'm looking forward to sleep!

Girls Dorm Room Ideas
One of the biggest perks of heading to college is getting to decorate your dorm room to match your personality. This space will act as your home away from home, so you want it to be comfortable. PBteen has multiple girls dorm room ideas to help you do just that. Our Diamond Dream Bedroom features an array of purples, whites and grays and promotes a sense that anything is possible. The fur pillow covers are soft to the touch, while the sunset pillow covers add style to the space. There's no need to leave your walls bare, as we offer two different wall tapestries that match the diamond dream theme.
Another option is to go with the Paloma Paisley Bedroom. Here you will find neutral browns and oranges that give the room a laid back feel. In addition to the patterned duvet cover and matching sham, you can pick up a decorative pillow cover that has tassels dangling off each end. Take advantage of the golden desk accessories, which neatly hold everything from pens, pencils and day planners to makeup and hair supplies. A set of framed pinboards will allow you to display pictures of your family, or important reminders about upcoming events you'd like to attend.
To really enjoy a good night's sleep, the Midnight Geo Bedroom may be the girls room for you. This room features shades of black and white and has a comforter set that comes with sheets, a pillowcase and a sham. Use the chrysanthemum string lights for decoration, or to provide a soft light in the evening that will help you drift off to sleep. Finish off the look with a beautiful shearling rug and an ivory-colored faux fur bean bag.
Have you ever wanted to feel like royalty? The Ikat Medallion Bedroom is fit for a queen. Start off with the 400-thread-count sheets that can be personalized with your name, and then move on to picking out a decorative throw that matches the gray color scheme in the bedroom. Keep a little piece of home with you when you take advantage of our home state pillow cover, or mount your family photographs inside one of the sleek black gallery frames. Don't forget to keep your room nice and tidy by placing sneakers in the hanging closet shoe organizer and scarves and hats in the rotating hanging closet storage device.
Go back in time with the Vintage Daisy Bedroom. The flower-covered bed set is sure to put a smile on your face each morning. Its bright yellow hues help you wake up and get ready for a new day. A golden reading lamp matches the bed set perfectly and it offers just enough light to complete your class readings without disturbing your roommate. Continue with the cheery yellow colors by adding a paper heart wall organizer that will store your paperclips and erasers. Then put up the paper wall beauty organizer for holding nail polish and an assortment of makeup brushes.
For girls who prefer a simple, yet elegant dorm room, there's the Infinity Stripe Bedroom. Peaceful blues, whites and grays make up the color scheme for this space. After pairing an essential sheet set with your choice of infinity stripe duvet cover, you'll want to pick out a kaleidoscope kilim rug. This rug is available in ivory and has three options when it comes to size. Cover a small portion of your dorm floor, a medium section or a large area. Lastly, you'll find our dorm trunks to come in handy for more than just storing your favorite items from home. They also double as seating or a small lounge table.

Keynote Speaker: Paul Gorski
Becoming a Threat to the Existence of Inequity
How can we put our best intentions and strongest commitments to work efficiently and effectively toward the goal of educational equity? The first step is strengthening our Equity Literacy: the knowledge and skills that make us a threat to the existence of inequity in our classrooms, schools, and communities. In this talk I challenge us to reconsider our perceptions of equity and what it will take to get there. I will provide examples relevant to classroom teachers, building and district administrators, and other education workers.

A panel discussion on State-Sanctioned Violence against People of Color
September 7 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm - Free Throughout history, violence has regularly been used by the State to achieve political, economic and cultural dominance over people, including its own. Giving context to recent events and movements, our incredible panel will draw on their vast expertise and intimate experience to discuss the central place of State-sanctioned violence in the story of the modern USA, as well as the often untold stories of those who stand up to resist that violent oppression. From 1492 to the Trail of Tears to the Homestead Strike to the Black Lives Matter Movement, this is our history, and it needs to be told.
Panelists: Chris Mato Nunpa, retired Associate Professor of Indigenous Nations and Dakota Studies Karin Aguilar-San Juan, co-editor, The People Make the Peace: Lessons from the Vietnam Antiwar Movement Mel Reeves, Journalist Ricardo Levins Morales, Artist
A Roundtable Discussion on Solidarity: Meaning and Place in History and Today
September 12 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm - Free
Solidarity is a term that's being tossed around a lot lately, and for good reason. It's a powerful word, one which conjures up images of the Berlin Wall collapsing, the Civil Rights movement and the labor movements of the turn of 20th century. "Solidarity" is even ensconced as one of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union. But what is Solidarity? What does it mean, and what role does it play in organizing, mobilizing and empowering people today?
Citizen Activism and the Fight for Justice in the Workplace.
September 13 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Nick Licata, former Seattle city councilor and author of the new book, Becoming a Citizen Activist: Stories, Strategies and Advice for Changing Our World, joins a panel of local activists from the Fight for $15 and the campaign for earned sick and safe time.

Upcoming YWCA of Minneapolis Racial Justice events
14th Annual It's Time to Talk: Forums on Race
Keynote Speaker: Alan C. Page Date: October 18, 2016 Location: Minneapolis Convention Center
Diverse leaders from business, education, arts and community service will come together to move Minnesota forward through honest conversation and powerful action. The strength of our future depends on our ability to develop new skills around inclusion and equity, understand the realities of racism today and to commit ourselves to action.
What is Advocacy?
We are individuals that live in communities that can influence policies and systems. In this workshop, we'll answer the above questions and then take time to focus inwardly, reflecting on our personal stories which guides our interactions with the community. From here, personal mission statements will be created to ground our advocacy.
Readers Against Racism: Citizen by Claudia Rankine
"Marrying prose, poetry, and the visual image, Citizen investigates the ways in which racism pervades daily American social and cultural life, rendering certain of its citizens politically invisible. Rankine's formally inventive book challenges our notion that citizenship is only a legal designation that the state determines by expanding that definition to include a larger understanding of civic belonging and identity, built out of cross-racial empathy, communal responsibility, and a deeply shared commitment to equality." ―National Book Award Judges' Citation
Confronting Racism: Minnesota Style
El Cruce De La Frontera (Crossing the Frontier)
We will also look at how undocumented workers have been impacted by past and current immigration policies.
Readers Against Racism: Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson
From the flap: "From one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time comes an unforgettable true story about the redeeming potential of mercy. Bryan Stevenson was a gifted young attorney when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending the poor, the wrongly condemned, and those trapped in the furthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillan, a young man sentenced to die for a notorious murder he didn't commit. The case drew Stevenson into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship – and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever."
For over ten years, Discussions that Encounter has facilitated open discussions about race, racism and white privilege. These events are open to all and sponsored free of charge in Minneapolis on the second and fourth Thursday evening of each month. Our vision is to provide an environment where people of all walks-of-life and backgrounds can openly discuss any aspects of racism. We use video or prepared materials to pursue a specific topic with ample time for facilitated conversation. The objectives of these forums are to raise awareness, build relationships, assist all along the journey of overcoming racism, provide education on historical and current topics, and facilitate open conversations that can't usually be approached across the "races." Notices are sent prior to each Discussion Forum with details on topic, location and directions. Contact Bill Keatts at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive information or to be added to the regular distribution. ***Brotherhood Brew offers sales of organic, free-trade coffee, exotic teas, and hot cocoa at our Discussion Forums
Discussions Forums are every 2nd Thursday at Phillips Community Center (2323 - 11th Avenue, South, Minneapolis) and 4th Thursday at St. Olaf Church (215 South 8th Street, Minneapolis) with free supper at 6:30PM and program from 7-8:30PM. All are invited at no charge – no need to register.
Preview of coming topics for Discussions that Encounter:
The next Discussions that Encounter Forum is this coming Thursday, September 8 at Phillips Community Center (2323 - 11thAvenue, South, Minneapolis, MN 55404.) Enter through the 11th Avenue door, check in with security, and take stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor in the cafeteria.
Directions to Phillips Community Center: The center is located at the corner of S 11th Avenue and E 24th Street, about halfway between Cedar and Park Avenues S along E 24th Street.
Parking for the center is available free in their lot entered from 24th Street. A light supper and social begins at 6:30PM with presentation and discussion from 7-8:30PM. All are welcome, free of charge!
This Thursday, we will feature a discussion of public reparations as a potential response to historical and contemporary racial oppression in the USA, drawing upon short films in which two African American professors present the case - one for reparations, one against - as they were interviewed by a family who had learned that their founding generations in Rhode Island were the leading slave-trading family in early America. Rosalind Sampson and Lou Schoen will facilitate discussion. Hope you can join us!

Free online resources: Bridging Activist Class Cultures
There are many reasons progressive groups run into trouble, but class culture differences don't have to be one of them. In fact, understanding diverse class backgrounds makes us more likely to succeed. A few years back, our own Betsy Leondar-Wright studied 25 varied social justice organizations to find class patterns in culture traits and problem solving approaches. Her findings, published in her book Missing Class and taught in Class Action's Bridging Activist Class Cultures workshops, are now available free online in the Activist Class Cultures Kit.
This kit is a comprehensive guide to understanding your own class experience, seeing class culture traits around you, collaborating better with others from class backgrounds different than your own, and implementing the strengths of each class to help your social justice organization succeed. It's full of videos, quizzes, tips and stories about real progressive activist groups facing class culture challenges. It even features a discussion guide for groups reading Missing Class. For all these resources and more, visit www.activistclasscultures.org online.
Brotherhood, Inc. offers a wide variety of coffee, tea and cocoa products for sale or delivery. These products are available at all Discussions that Encounter Forums and directly through the website www.brotherhoodmn.org. Sales assist in achieving their mission to enable African-American youth and young men to envision and achieve successful futures. Brotherhood, Inc. aspires to create a pathway out of poverty, gangs and incarceration by offering comprehensive and culturally-sensitive educational opportunities, social services, legal services and in-house employment all under one roof.

A man widely believed to be interested in becoming Maine's next governor, Democratic Attorney General Steven Rowe, is refusing to defend the state's Freedom of Access Act from a court ruling that would destroy the state's open-government law almost entirely.
The ruling — that a three-man commission appointed by Rowe can keep its records secret because it was not a government body engaged in government business — is being appealed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, with the support of the Maine Civil Liberties Union.
If upheld, the ruling would allow Rowe — and any other government official — to "outsource" official business to a purportedly "independent" group of handpicked appointees, in complete certainty that the group's actions will never become public.
The dust-up centers on the 1989 conviction of then-31-year-old farmer Dennis Dechaine for the 1988 rape and murder of 12-year-old Sarah Cherry, in Bowdoin. Dechaine was sent to prison for life, but a group of citizens who believe he is innocent have subsequently reviewed as much of the evidence in the case as possible — and have taken their efforts to the Legislature and through the courts to overrule repeated refusals from Rowe's office to turn over documents. One member of the group, James Moore, a retired agent of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, has published two books detailing this investigation and the evidence he has found.
Even without access to crucial documents, Moore's research raised enough questions in lawmakers' minds that in 2003 they passed a law specifically forcing Rowe to open his office's files to the public. And, in 2004, when Rowe violated that law by failing to hand over everything, Moore took him to court and won, getting copies of previously withheld state evidence — including information kept from the jury. Moore and others believe these documents prove Dechaine could not have killed Cherry.
Which brings us back to the Freedom of Access Act. After being forced to release his records, Rowe appointed the three-man commission to investigate the allegations, from Moore and others, of police and prosecutorial misconduct in the case. Rowe promised Dechaine's advocates that he would publicize the commission's report, which he did. It's available on the AG's Web site even today. It concludes that there was no "substantive merit" to the allegations of wrongdoing.
But when Moore asked to see the commission's supporting evidence — the documents they reviewed and the notes from interviews they conducted — the commissioners refused, claiming that they are not, in fact, a government agency required to open their files.
In July, a judge agreed with them, but Moore has appealed that decision to the state's highest court, arguing that the principles of open government demand their files be made public.
Rowe could, at this point, throw his weight behind Moore's appeal and argue on behalf of the people of Maine that the Freedom of Access Act is gutted by the July ruling. But the attorney general, who has been selected four consecutive times by the Legislature to be the state's chief law-enforcement officer, and who has once been formally asked by a resolution of the Maine House to support a retrial for Dechaine, appears to be on the side of secrecy. He is refusing to argue — in court or elsewhere — that the commission's records should be made public.

Jonathan Valley Elementary is National Title I finalist
Jonathan Valley Elementary School has been named a national finalist for the 2013 National Title I Distinguished School Award.
The award is given each year in two categories (1) sustained student achievement and (2) closing the gap. Jonathan Valley is in contention for the national award in the category of sustained student achievement.
"We are so proud of Jonathan Valley Elementary School. They are a model school that focuses on every child learning every day," said Superintendent Anne Garrett.
There are 1,250 Title I schools in North Carolina. To be recognized as a "Reward School" the school must have a free and reduced lunch rate over 50 percent and have outstanding student performance for three consecutive years.
Earlier this month Bethel Elementary School, Central Elementary School, Hazelwood Elementary School, Jonathan Valley Elementary School and Meadowbrook Elementary School were recognized as "Reward Schools" representing the top 10 percent of Title I Schools in the state. As a National Distinguished School finalist, Jonathan Valley Elementary School represents the top 1 percent of schools in the state.
The award is based upon three consecutive years of high academic performance in schools with high poverty rates. During the last three years, Jonathan Valley's free and reduce lunch rate has been over 50 percent. During the same time period, the school experienced "high academic growth" and a "performance composite" of students passing state and federally mandated tests at a rate over 90 percent.
"This National Title I Distinguished School recognition proves that all public schools are not broken," said Heather Hollingsworth, school principal, "It is wonderful that the hard work of our students and staff is acknowledged in this way. "
As a 2013 National Title I Distinguished School nominee, Jonathan Valley Elementary School has been invited to attend the North Carolina Association of Compensatory Educators (NCACE) Conference in Greensboro. A ceremony honoring the achievement of the school will be held on Thursday, Oct. 31.

"A month ago my 18-year-old daughter was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis," writes Camilla. "A sudden and inexplicable onset, two weeks in hospital, three (unsuccessful) operations, long-term prognosis still unknown. She has trouble walking more than a few minutes without requiring rest and leg elevation. On Monday, in an effort to regain some independence, she attempted a bus ride after her weekly blood test (10 tubes!) from Pakuranga Plaza to Auckland Hospital for an appointment. The bus was full and it took some effort for my normally shy eldest child to ask if someone would please be willing to give up their seat for her. To the two women who said no: things are not always what they seem. To the older gentleman who actually offered his seat: you are kindness itself, thank you ... by the time she reached Greenlane she could no longer stand the disapproving looks and she disembarked and I took her the remainder of the way in the car. Sometimes things are unfair."
Locking us away from our treats
"I am a big strong man," declares William, "but I have huge problems opening Cadbury's new chocolate block wrappers. I am semi-intelligent, so have been able to read the instructions on the top of the packaging, where it instructs me where to put my left thumb and first finger, and also where to put my right thumb and first finger. I have even mastered the bit where it implies that I should slowly move my two hands apart to enjoy the resealable packaging. But, while I am able to eventually get the bloody stuff open, it takes so much effort that I wonder how on earth anyone of a more 'normal' strength would be able to do it."
Keep degrees on hold until loan payments made
This reader has a radical solution to the problem of student loan defaulters: "Why can't we just revoke the degree or whatever qualification the loan was for? If you HP something and don't pay the loan off they repossess it. Well let's start repossessing the qualifications. Next time a potential employer checks up, the defaulter will learn their degree has been revoked and they can be advised it will be given back when their arrears are paid off."

st: How to do bootstrap of candisc
Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:47:09 -0700
Hello all,
I am working on doing a bootstrap of a candisc analysis with a small sample
size. I am trying to figure out how sensitive the two functions are to the
cases in the study. I am hoping to say that this is relatively stable.
As such, I am trying to figure out what the distributions of significances
are for each of the functions. Does anyone know how to capture this?

It is a favourite (but tedious) catch phrase of every Government minister talking to a journalist in the run-up to the budget.
"Don't ask me what's in it because I can't tell you," they say – often before you've even asked the question.
This year has been little different – expect in one important regard: it's simply not true.
Budget 2012 has been the most comprehensively leaked of any in recent times (perhaps with the exception of 1996 budget which was sent in its entirety to the Daily Mirror - but then they didn't publish it).
But until 12.30 we won't know for sure if the leaks have been accurate or not.
So here is a guide to the key points we're expecting in the budget announcement to check it off against Mr Osborne's actual speech.
1) He will announce that the 50p tax rate for those earning over £150,000 will be abolished. He is likely to cut it to 45p initially with the option of going further and reducing it to 40p by the time of the next election.
2) He will announce a big increase in the personal tax allowance to around £9,000 by next April to meet the Government's commitment that no-one earning less than £10,000 pays any tax is met a year early.
3) He will introduce a cap on tax relief and allowances that the rich can claim as a proportion of their income to ensure that everyone pays a minimum proportion of their earnings to the state. The figure is expected to be set at 20 per cent.
4) He will shut a loophole which allows rich individuals to avoid stamp duty by purchasing properties through companies based overseas.
5) The cut in child benefits for higher rate tax payers will go ahead. But he will introduce transitional arrangements to help families where only one parent works and is only just above the top rate of tax. The cut may not kick in unless total income is over £50,000.
6) He will pledge to send every taxpayer a detailed breakdown of how much tax they pay and where it is spent by 2014.
7) He will offer small businesses up to £20 billion of Government backed loans at a lower rate of interest.
8) Stamp duty will rise to seven per cent for home worth over £2 million. This is likely be dubbed by the Lib Dems the "mansion purchase tax".
9) The Chancellor will also use to the speech to declare the end of national pay bargaining so Government departments will be able to set local rates of pay for the first time.
10) A rise in alcohol duty is expected to add 7p or 8p to a pint of beer. Tobacco will rise by two per cent above inflation.
11) It is just possible that a 3p rise in fuel duty due for this August will be postponed. This is the least certain prediction but the tax is deeply unpopular and all prices are not falling.
12) He will announce that the Office of Budget Responsibility has raised its growth forecast from 0.7 per cent to 0.8 per cent for 2012. This will save the exchequer £10 billion over the next four years.
13) He will pledge to push ahead with the Government's planning reforms – making it easier for developers to build on greenfield sites.
14) There will be an announcement not yet leaked to be a "surprise" on the day.
Now let see if we're right.

From The Onion. Duh.
Microsoft Ad Campaign Crashing Nation's Televisions
WASHINGTON—According to an FCC report released Monday, a new $300 million Microsoft ad campaign is responsible for causing televisions all across the country to unexpectedly crash.
The Microsoft ads, which began airing earlier this week, are being blamed for generating critical system errors in more than 70 million televisions.
In addition, thousands of frustrated Americans said that the ads have caused their TVs to become unresponsive, their screens to turn blue, and a small box with the message "terminal application error" to suddenly appear.
"I was in the middle of watching Monday Night Football when, all of a sudden, that stupid ad comes on and my TV freezes up," said Scottsdale, AZ resident Michael Chaplin, adding that he never wanted to see the commercial in the first place.

HA HA! So the Seinfeld/Gates commercials were behind it all--that explains everything! I hated those commercials--now I know why! :DReplyDelete
The mugshot of the day story today made me laugh. Usually if you are going to dine and dash, it is better to take your pocketbook with your driver's license and your pot stash inside it with you instead of leaving it behind at the table. ha ha ha!

City to get a fleeting glimpse of royal pair
Page Tools
Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and his wife Mary.
Photo: File
Melburnians hoping for a glimpse of Australia's newest royal will have to be on their toes.
Crown Princess Mary and her husband, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, will visit Australia for almost a fortnight next month.
But while they will spend 10 days in Sydney and two nights in Canberra, they are scheduled to spend only one day in Melbourne - Thursday, March 10.
It will be the first official visit for the couple who met in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics and married in May last year.
Prime Minister John Howard announced the visit yesterday.
Details are yet to be finalised, but Mr Howard said the schedule would be designed to allow the royal couple to meet as many Australians as possible in formal and informal settings.
Events already scheduled include a celebration to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, as well as a series of fund-raising events.
Guests will pay $3000 a couple to join the royals for a black-tie dinner in Sydney in aid of the Australian Cancer Research Foundation.
Queensland Premier Peter Beattie said he would send an invitation to the royal couple after learning they had snubbed the Sunshine State.
The tour will finish in Crown Princess Mary's home city, Hobart.

Passenger Attacks Crew on NC-to-Florida Flight
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A passenger aboard a US Airways flight from North Carolina to Florida has been arrested after witnesses say she attacked crew members before being wrestled to the jet's floor.
Lee County Port Authority spokeswoman Victoria Moreland said Wednesday her agency's police arrested a US Airways passenger but would not provide other details. US Airways spokesman Bill McGlashen said he didn't know how early in the flight the passenger became unruly.
WNCN-TV in Raleigh reports a passenger on US Airways flight 1697 from Charlotte to Fort Myers kicked, scratched and spit on crew members. The North Carolina TV station said a reporter spoke to arriving crew members in the terminal.
The incident came hours after passengers restrained the agitated pilot of a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas.

The Crew Parent Review
Movie Review
For four retired crooks, Miami's South Beach district used to be a nice place to live. But when the somewhat rundown residence hotel they call home begins to look attractive to younger beach bums and their landlord doubles the rent, they decide it's time for a neighborhood dis-improvement project.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Calling on their past experiences as moderately successful professional criminals, Bobby Bartellemeo (Richard Dreyfuss), Joey "Bats" Pistella (Burt Reynolds), Tony "The Mouth" Donato (Seymour Cassel) and Mike "The Brick" Donatelli (Dan Hedaya) hatch a seemingly simple plan. With Brick working at a mortuary doing makeup on corpses, Bats (who only gets good ideas when he's unconscious) figures a fake murder in their building will effectively send the yuppies packing. When an unknown body found on the beach arrives at work, Brick figures he has just the man for the job.
Putting a bullet through his head, they leave the corpse in the hotel lobby. Sure enough, media attention sends rents plummeting. But when they discover the unknown body is the father of Raul (Miguel Sandoval), a powerful drug lord, the gang suddenly find themselves not only running for their lives, but also enjoying the revitalizing feeling of being back in the old business.
In an attempt to make the four old guys appear innocent compared to Raul's nasty dealings, The Crew trivializes organized crime with silly hijinks that result in large amounts of property loss and plays depictions of violence for laughs. Meanwhile, Mouth becomes distracted by a stripper that he hires for some off-hours entertainment, and eventually begins a sexual relationship with... her mother.
Mixing their illegal behavior with some good intentions, such as Mouth discovering "love", Bats yearning to find the daughter he left behind when he went to jail thirty years ago, and the foursome's desire to help other elderly people afford to live in their building, the movie endeavors to present a warm and fuzzy message. Yet when you consider what these "reformed" crooks are willing to do to keep their rent down, you gotta wonder what they'd do if you played the stereo too loud.Starring Burt Reynolds Richard Dreyfuss. Running time: 88 minutes. Theatrical release August 25, 2000. Updated February 13, 2012

Why do movies often portray elderly people playing criminals in a comedic way? Can an elderly person be dangerous? Does the end result of The Crew's actions justify their crimes?

Center: Ioan Gruffudd as William Wilberforce in a scene
© 2007 Bristol Bay Productions, LLC.
at this movie and NOT seeing what it actually is
about. Yes, it deals with the issue of slavery --
but it is about the politics of the slave trade
that concerns the filmmakers. Therefore, the
audience is not going to see the actual effects
on the men, women and children who were
kidnapped from their homes in Africa and
transported in horrendous conditions across the
Originally, director Michael Apted wanted to
make a film with a contemporary setting that
dealt in some way with lobbyists and the effects
of special interests, but he was not able to
locate a decent screenplay. When he was
offered the opportunity to direct a biopic of
William Wilberforce, the man who spent years
introducing anti-slavery legislation in
Parliament, Apted agreed. His goal was to make
a film about "the white people who legislated
the slave trade and profited from it, and those
who fought to reform or abolish it." In that
respect, the director has achieved his intentions.
The film's structure is a bit awkward: it opens in
1797 when Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) is ill and
heading for some rest at the country home of
Henry and Marianne Thornton (Nicholas Farrell
and Sylvestra Le Touzel). The Thorntons
seemingly are harboring an ulterior motive as
well -- they intend to introduce the bachelor
Wilberforce to the spirited and equally available
Barbara Spooner (Romola Garai). Needless to
say, the first meeting doesn't go well, but on
the second occasion, the unattached pair find
common ground. Wilberforce spends much of the
night regaling Barbara with the story of his
efforts in Parliament.
So the film goes into flashback mode and
details Wilberforce's efforts alongside the
ambitious William Pitt (Benedict Cumberbatch)
to push legislation that would abolish the slave
trade. Of course, there is staunch opposition led
by the Duke of Clarence (Toby Jones) and Lord
Tarlton (Ciarán Hinds).
Although his efforts have been defeated,
Wilberforce finds renewed strength thanks to
Barbara and he returns to Parliament and
continues to push for passage of the legislation
until 1807 when he wins a moral victory if not
outright abolition.
Apted directs with a firm hand and the film has
been gorgeously shot by Remi Adefarasin. The
large cast is generally good, with Gruffudd
serving as the strong anchor. There's fine work
from Albert Finney as John Newton, the former
slave ship captain who penned the lyrics to the
titular song after a religious conversion, Michael
Gambon as the crafty and sly Fox, and a nearly
unrecognizable Rufus Sewell as an eccentric
abolitionist. Garai registers in her few scenes,
although I wish she had more to do than serve
as a plot function. Jones and Hinds make for
fine villains, even if some of their scenes play
as a bit too over the top.
has been scheduled to be in
theaters in time to mark the actual bicentennial
of Wilberforce's legislation. It's a worthy film
that provides an historical perspective for those
willing to seek it out.
MPAA Rating:
PG for thematic material
including slavery and
some mild language
