Shaun of the Dead: Island Getaway
Alright, first and foremost, two things to clear up. Since in some of the stories I have read, Diane is dead, know she's alive here, since, according to the DVD plot holes special, she's still alive. Second, this has a small, minute crossover with Coupling, but only because Jeff is one of my favorite characters, and he fits in with the setting. Anyway, please enjoy reading. Also, I know there's not much humor in the first chapter, but, oh well.
Private Journal of Maxwell Hope
December 14, 2004
Today is quiet an exciting day. It has been about six months since the events of Z Day, and though it may seem like a long time, it was relatively quicker than we thought it would be. Tomorrow will mark the first day of testing on the zombies, to try and find a way to alter them, make them more human like, the way they were before. Smaller tests will be done, but the main subject is one Jason Wallace, his name before death, this is the zombie that the bulk of the tests are to be experimented on. I can't wait to begin.
December 15, 2004
Our first day was quiet a success. No, we didn't discover a cure of any kind, but in the main subject I mentioned earlier, we were able to spark a little brain activity. Thankfully, his brain didn't rot much, so it seems Jason may be able to be changed. It's an incredible breakthrough. Very incredible for the first day.
December 25, 2004
It's been ten days since my last entry and- hey! It's Christmas, isn't it? Well, did we ever get a present, and Jason played the part of Santa. He spoke. Actual words. It was amazing! The words were 'kill me or…' and you can imagine how creepy that was, but it was still another great breakthrough. I went out and celebrated with Jeff. We had drinks, and I told him some of the aspects of the project. He seems to think we're playing god, that what we're doing is wrong. I pointed out that those were pretty deep words from the guy who came to this island cause he thought that its name, the Isle of Lesbos, meant it was filled with lesbians. Still, he was pretty creepy tonight, too.
March 22, 2005
Things have taken a turn for the worse in Project Z-Mod. It's been almost four months, and Jason still bumbles around his cage idiotically. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get another breakthrough. Our sponsors, the ZombAid organization, say we'll be shut down soon, if we don't provide new progress. We have a month.
April 18, 2005
Finally, only days before we were to get shut down, Alex found a new formula, and Jason has advanced even further. With the formula, Jason can now move normally, his joints loosened up. What's strange, everything seems fine, as if the rot and mold were never there, I'll have to ask Alex about that.
May 9, 2005
Something awful has happened today. Jason, in a loss of the control most zombies have been taught, bit Alex Collier, one of my colleagues. He died shortly afterward, but the strange thing is, he never became a zombie. He just stayed dead. We plan on doing scans tomorrow, and his body is being sealed away for the night.
May 10, 2005
Alex had something in him, something similar to the zombie disease, but different. It didn't change him. And we need to find out why.
June 11, 2005
Things are very bad now. I don't even know when it happened, but Jason evolved. He became something different. He still is. For as long as it can, the lab's lockdown procedures are in place, and they'll hold Jason in. I'm locked in my room right now. This is the last thing I will write, and I'm scared. We couldn't kill him. We shot him in the head, chopped it off even, but it grew back. He said one thing over and over as we tried, smiling as we did it. 'I told you to do it while you could.' I don't know what to call Jason, but he is no ordinary zombie. He I…

Chapter 01: A Vacation
June 1, 2005 11:30 AM
Shaun yawned as he slid out of his bed, looking around to see his room the same as it had been for the past year. A complete mess. He smiled, remembering Liz's last words before she left him. 'You're such a pig.'
He smiled because she had said that as a joke before heading off to Belgium on a business trip, the long two week kind that would leave him as the self proclaimed 'King of the Flat.' He could live in his room over the course of the next to weeks if he wanted, but he had plans. Good, kind ones, one with Liz in mind.
It had been one year since Z-Day, and after the initial shock had worn off, and thereafter the grieving of lost loved ones, Shaun and Liz found themselves more or less back were they had started right before then. So, Shaun had made a pledge. He had promised that he would do the things she had asked of him before Z-Day, and it would be done by the first anniversary of Z-Day. First had been giving up smoking, which was easy compared to going to the gym. He still got exhausted after a little workout, so he knew it would be a long road. Since he had started, though, it was one more thing off the list. Now, there was only one thing left
As he started out of his room, he grabbed a nicotine patch, slapping it onto his arm. He walked down the stairs, sliding down the railing in the last stretch, and entered the living room. Upon entry, he was greeted by the same sly face he'd seen for almost a year. "Good morning, Shaun. How are you today?"
"I am fine, for once, Duncan. So don't tell me what's bad in the world, how's that sound?"
"Alright, but only if you pop into the kitchen and get me a bowl of cereal."
"Sure, but then, I'm going out for the day." Shaun turned on his heels, heading out of the room. It had been a while since Liz's brother had moved in, since his college had gone on indefinite break. Aside from Crouch End, Duncan's school had been one of the places most heavily attacked on Z-Day, and even some of the next day. Duncan, and a few of his friends, had survived by hiding in the cellar, where a paranoid janitor's guns had done them more good than the old man himself. The break was caused by the fact that pretty much all the faculty and students had been zombified.
And for a now twenty year old who'd gone through that, Shaun thought he looked pretty together. He was lanky, hair the same color as his sister's, which was a mess on his head, and his eyes were a creepily dark brown. The one thing Shaun disliked about Duncan, other than his need to report about the bad things in the world, was that he was taller than him. True, only by an inch but he just didn't like looking up to someone younger than him.
Shaun smiled as he poured the Fruit Loops into two bowls. One good thing about Z-Day had been that more than one of the pricks at Foree Electric, where he worked, had been killed. He wasn't saying their deaths made him happy… well, a little bit. Mainly, it had left him as the only employee qualified to manage the district. It was a lot more money and, as he soon found, a lot less work. He did most of it from home on his lab top, which the company had given him. It was, in a word Duncan used much too often, sweet.
Shaun returned to the living room, dropping down on the couch next to his new flat mate. Not really new, just newest. He handed Duncan the cereal, then started on his own.
"So, what are your big plans for today, Shaun? Go down to the Winchester?"
"Nope. You going back to school?"
"Nah. I'm sick of learning for a while." The two had said the same statement, a little varied every day, for quiet a while. Shaun could never go back to the place that had been the cause of his worst nightmares, and Duncan would probably exchange schools. Still they loved to pick at each other. "Then what are you doing today?"
"Well, since the Z-Day anniversary's almost here, I figured I have a surprise for Liz."
"You're going to surprise my sister on the day our parents died." Duncan chuckled. "Classic romance."
"Not on Z-Day. But, when she gets back from Belgium, the airport will inform her that she has another flight."
"I'm finally going to take Liz on vacation."
"You do realize that she will kill you for making you get back on a plane. You do remember that she flies around the lobe just to knock a couple thousand off the ticket price."
"I really don't want to think about that Duncan. It's a nice gesture, and I'm sure Liz will be happy."
Duncan stared at him a moment before saying, "She's going to kill you at the airport."
"Oh, sod off. Either shut up or I'll forget about taking you."
"Say what now?" Duncan asked, smiling again. "You would take humble, old me?"
"Don't get flattered. Diane and Ed are coming too. I feel that I deserve to give them that much, since her boyfriend died and, well… he died."
"Subjecting Ed to the Zombie Airways? You're mad, then?"
"Oh, come now, the horror stories can't be true. I'm sue the zombies are treated with respect."
"They plastic wrap them and lock them in with the luggage. And I hear Zombie Claim is killer slow."
"Whatever. Anyway, get packing." Shaun said, as he slipped off the couch, going to get dressed.
"Why?" Duncan questioned, following the thirty year old. "Liz doesn't get back for a few weeks, right?"
"Yeah, but we're leaving in two days."
"Well that's sudden."
"You can always stay here then."
"No, no, I've always wanted to go to… um… where?"
"The Island of Lesbos."
To be continued…
Yeah, so, here's the first chapter, which I hope you enjoyed. Wow, this is probably my longest chapter ever. I really got into this, eh? Well read and review. Actually, you already did the first part if your down here. Uh, yeah. So I guess review. Peace.

Lives of Others
|Neel Mukherjee
|Neel Mukherjee
An epic saga telling the story of a Bengali family in Calcutta - exploring a family that is decaying as the society around it fractures, and one young man who tries to reimagine his place in the world.
Shortlisted for Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2014.
"Neel Mukherjee has written an outstanding novel: compelling, compassionate and complex, vivid, musical and fierce." Rose Tremain "A devastating portrayal of a decadent society and the inevitably violent uprising against it, in the tradition of such politically charged Indian literature as the work of Prem Chand, Manto and Mulk Raj Anand. It is ferocious, unsparing and brutally honest." Anita Desai "The Lives of Others is searing, savage and deeply moving: an unforgettably vivid picture of a time of turmoil." Amitav Ghosh (www.amitavghosh.com/blog) "Very ambitious and very successful. ... One of Mukherjee's great gifts is precisely his capacity to imagine the lives of others. ... Neel Mukherjee terrifies and delights us simultaneously" -- A S Byatt Guardian "Masterful ... His fierce intelligence and sophisticated storytelling combine to produce an unforgettable portrait of one family riven by the forces of history and their own desires." -- Patrick Flanery Daily Telegraph
Neel Mukherjee was born in Calcutta. His first novel, A Life Apart (2010), won the Vodafone-Crossword Award in India, the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award for best fiction, and was shortlisted for the inaugural DSC Prize for South Asian Literature. This is his second novel. He lives in London.

14:08 30th April 2011
Tale of two pens at DW as Latics are left frustrated by ToffeesWIGAN ATHLETIC 1
N'Zogbia, 21
Baines 77 (pen)Arteta missed pen, 35
Report by Paul Chialton
A valuable point collected at the DW Stadium, but a game that should have rewarded Latics with three instead.
Having taken a heroic lead into the break, former Latics Leighton Baines scored a second-half equaliser from the penalty spot to pull back an Everton side who struggled to break through the home defence all afternoon.
Earlier Mikel Arteta had been thwarted from the spot by a stunning Ali Al Habsi save: the Omani international at full stretch to deny the Everton midfielder after Charles N'Zogbia had tripped Leon Osman inside the area.
The save protected N'Zogbia's opening goal midway through the half: latching onto James McCarthy's beautifully weighted chipped ball and steadying himself before finding the top-left corner.
The Frenchman came close to doubling the lead on the stroke of the break, firing through Tony Hibbert's legs only for Tim Howard to block his effort.
Gradually Roberto Martinez's men worked their way back into the game after the break and looked dangerous around the Everton area. Victor Moses replaced N'Zogbia and had two efforts in the space of as many minutes saved smartly by Howard.
The game opened up and after a succession of Everton corners, one resulted in the opportunity Everton had been hoping for: Hugo Rodallega penalised for hand-balling inside the six-yard-box and referee pointing to the spot for the second time during the afternoon.
Al Habsi could do nothing to stop the full-back's rocket into the top-corner, but the response was fierce.
Ben Watson, James McArthur and McCarthy battled to win possession in the middle and had the away side on the back-foot going into the final ten minutes.
Franco Di Santo chested and volleyed sublimely but couldn't get enough power on his effort to beat the 'keeper, before Watson drove an effort from distance which was kept out yet again.
Then came the big chance in the dying moments: a goalmouth scramble led to the ball dropping to Rodallega ten yards out, but the Colombian got under his shot and blasted over for the game's final chance.
A big opportunity for three points missed today, but a solid result the team must build on ahead of next weekend's clash at Aston Villa.
Latics: Al Habsi; Boyce, G. Caldwell, Alcaraz, Figueroa; Watson, McCarthy, Diame (McArthur, 44); N'Zogbia (Moses, 54), Cleverley (Di Santo, 79), Rodallega
Subs: Kirkland, Gohouri, Gomez, Sammon
Everton: Howard; Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines; Neville, Arteta (Beckford, 66), Rodwell, Osman; Cahill (Coleman, 66), Anichebe (Gueye, 82)
Subs: Mucha, Bilyaletdinov, Vellios, Duffy

Black Code Re-mapping can simply and quickly optimize the settings to make this a reality.
So if you want to unlock the true potential of your vehicle, call now on 01442 862651 or 07771 922822
First of all it may be a good idea to make clear that we don't have any kind of problem with skepticism towards our factual statements that detail the enormous difference we can make to the performance and fuel efficiency of your vehicle.
In this world, it's smart to be skeptical and when you see claims that on the surface may seem optimistic at best, skepticism is a sensible initial reaction.
However, our hope is that you're also smart enough to put your skepticism to the test because our cast iron, 100% money back guarantee is particularly aimed at you.
We know that "ECU ReMapping" probably sounds unbelievably complicated and whilst it is an extremely advanced technology, the principal is actually incredibly simple.
All vehicle's manufactured since 1999 are controlled by an onboard computer, which is known as the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The ECU controls a multitude of different engine functions such as ignition timing, fueling and boost pressure.
Within this computer a file stores the manufacturers settings that have been fixed to allow for build tolerances into their engines and to comply with emission targets, cope with sub-standard fuels found in some countries, operate in areas with extreme environments and allow for some owners irregular service standards and intervals.
The process is actually as simple as 1, 2, 3…
Our mobile technician comes to your location at a convenient time and downloads a copy of the unique existing file on your car's ECU.
This file is then immediately uploaded to the Black Code Head Office where a personalised upgrade is developed for your individual vehicle.
Within the hour, the re-mapped file is sent back to the Technician and uploaded back onto your vehicles ECU.
Call: 01442 862651 or 07771 922822
We work in and around the following areas, Bovingdon, Tring, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Hatfield, Dunstable, Kings Langley, Watford, Berkhamsted, Barnet, Rickmansworth, Pitstone, Chesham, Milton Keynes, Luton, Harpenden, Chipperfield, Apsley Garston, Chorleywood, Borehamwood, London Colney, and Leighton Buzzard. If your area is not listed please call us to see if we cover your town. All text Copyright of black-code.co.uk
It's actually a decision about how long you want to continue to waste money unnecessarily on sky high fuel prices before you take some action.
Of course you can choose to continue needlessly wasting your hard earned money… it's your right to make that decision, no matter how illogical it may be.
Yes, you can elect to do nothing whatsoever about the financial battering you have taken from every stealth tax our government has forced on us in the last decade.
And without doubt you can opt to just ignore the impact of the 30% increase to fuel costs over the last 6 months.
But doesn't it just make plain simple, good financial sense to embrace a risk free opportunity to dramatically reduce the money you currently spend on fuel by up to 15%.
So, How Does It Work ?
The key to understanding how Economy Tuning works is to appreciate that your car's manufacturer has confined your car to run at less than its optimum efficiency and power.
And the first question most people ask is "why the heck would they do that ?"
Unfortunately for you, all manufacturers choose to limit the power and efficiency to the lowest common denominator of the markets they sell in. This includes making allowances for things such as poor fuel quality, meeting local emission targets and even allowing for extreme operating environments.
So your car has literally been built to under perform both for power and for fuel efficiency.
Black Code Re-mapping simply upgrade your car, in line with parameters specific to this country.
You'll immediately see a massive improvement in both the feel and drive-ability of your car along with significant gains in fuel consumption.
Your engine will feel more flexible, with a sharper throttle response and smoother, more progressive, power delivery.
And we haven't even discussed the incredible satisfaction you'll feel knowing that the steps you have taken have lowered your emissions, reduced your carbon footprint and helped to save the environment in equal measure.
So, why choose to have the manufacturer restrict your driving experience and pay more for fuel with less power… when you can trust Europe's leading economy tuning company to provide a tailor made upgrade and bespoke service that delivers the results you want.
Black Code Re-mapping's proprietary Mechanical Breakdown Warranty is industry unique. Specifically design to give you total peace of mind, we are able to upgrade the software on your new vehicle without the concern manufacturers warranty.

A python that strangled two brothers had escaped from its pet shop enclosure, slithered through a ventilation system and fell through the ceiling into the room where they were sleeping, according to the shop's owner.
Noah Barth, seven, and his brother Connor, five, had been visiting a friend – the pet shop owner's son – in a flat above the shop in Campbellton, New Brunswick, eastern Canada. The friend was sleeping in another room and was unharmed.
The shop owner, Jean-Claude Savoie, told the Global News television station he had heard nothing during the night and discovered the "horrific scene" on Monday morning. "I can't believe this is real," said Savoie, who has owned the python for 10 years.
The 4.3-metre (14ft) python, which weighs 45kg (100lbs), had been kept alone in its enclosure and was not handled by anyone but Savoie.
"It's a criminal investigation," Royal Canadian mounted police sergeant Alain Tremblay told reporters. "We're going to look at all avenues."
John Kendrick, a manager at the Reptile Store in Hamilton, Ontario, said the python may not have been enclosed properly and could have been "spooked".
He called the strangling deaths unusual but said African rock pythons tend to be highly strung. "It's very odd that one would go out and seek out a person. They don't recognise us as food," he said.
If startled, pythons will grab a warm object to stabilise themselves, Kendrick said. "A snake that size was just trying to hold on securely enough to make sure he felt like he wasn't falling or going anywhere," he said.
"Once they are in constricting mode, any part of their body that is touching something that moves, they'll wrap it."

Motorcycle Madness
We all are familiar with motorcyclists lane splitting….zipping between you and the car next to you on the freeway.
And it's often not easy to see these motorcycles as they slip in and out of your blind spot.
Make a last minute decision to make a lane change, even with your turn signal, and you worry about hitting one of these guys.
Lane splitting has always been legal in California but when the CHP announced new guidelines this year, it was supposed to make it safer out there.
The CHP says the new guidelines now say motorcyclists should only lane split at no faster than 10 miles over the speed of traffic and they now recommend that motorcyclists not split lanes at all if traffic is going faster than 30-miles an hour.
Seems as if a lot of motorcyclists haven't heard about the new guidelines. Others say they like them and they are abiding by the new lane splitting guidelines.
So for now, guess we have to keep our eyes open…and our ears too…because with lots of motorcyclists not obeying California's noise emission laws, at least you hear them coming.

Following on from the Technology Expo awards ceremony last night, the Engine Creative team were recognised for their 'innovation, commercial feasibility, market perception and ROI' in developing Reality Engine, an augmented reality platform already used by clients including Tesco, heat magazine, Grazia and Cummins
Reality Engine features a robust AR browser, publishing CMS and content solution for brands that can add an interactive layer to print, turn physical products into engaging digital experiences and connect with mobile customers in the retail space.

Combining Engine Creative's strategic consultancy service with the Reality Engine AR platform, brands can not only tap into existing functionality but also unlock new opportunities to use AR to bring their brand to life.
Comments from the TTE judges, which included CEOs and CTOs from emerging tech companies, reflect the commercial potential for brands looking to adopt AR as a way of building greater engagement with their audience:
"The commercialisation of their product was leading against other entries and their solution through Tesco showed their ability to scale and deliver something truly imaginative."
Paul Heybourne, Global Innovation, Research & Demonstration Lab Manager, Aviva
"Very clear proposition and ROI for clients."
Jonny Voon, Lead Technologist, Innovate UK
"Strong B2B solution which powers some of the most innovative consumer products."

Unique Bird Baths & Accessories
What's the best bird bath to get?
It's the one you will maintain!
Beyond good looks, consider what's entailed to keep the bath clean and filled with water fresh. Whether a hanging bird bath, pedestal or deck-mounted style, you can bet birds will flock to the oasis. Find quality bird baths with unique and bird-friendly designs to enhance the garden via feathered friends!
Consistent fresh water is the single most important element to entice wild birds, and moving water acts as a visual magnet for them. Use fresh water to attract more beaked buddies, even those who may not visit your feeders. Our unique baths are available in pedestal and hanging styles, with deck-mounted and large ground designs too. Most are hand crafted in the USA, with quality to last for many seasons of use.
Add moving water to your garden and create an ultimate spa! Bird bath accessories like drippers, leaf misters and water wigglers not only increase the number of bird species seen, but their volume too. These also keep water from becoming stagnant, thus mosquitoes can't lay eggs. Try a deck-mounted birdbath to catch close up activity, even a hanging birdbath on the patio or porch is ideal for small spaces. Fresh water is key to creating a wildlife friendly-habitat, it helps birds thrive while ensuring a better bird-watching experience for you!
Please Note: Free Shipping does not apply to most Pedestal and Staked Bird Baths.
CA, WA, OR, WY, ID, NV, AZ, UT, MT incur $20 fee as actual shipping costs are considerably higher on these multiple-box, large items.

This is the story of Sudan who I was lucky enough to come face-to-face with in May this year at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. I travelled to Kenya to specifically visit a number of rhino conservation projects which Real Africa is proud to be supporting this year through our #RealRhinos fundraising and awareness campaign for conservation charity Save the Rhino International (registered charity number 1035072.). Ol Pejeta Conservancy is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and a haven for the last remaining Northern White Rhinos in the world. It seems fitting on World Rhino Day (22 September) to share my experience of meeting both Sudan and baby orphan rhino, Ringo.
- Meeting Sudan #LASTMALESSTANDING
Sudan is a formidable figure. At around 3 tonnes he looms large on the landscape. He is the last surviving male Northern White Rhino – northern whites are known to be the most sociable of the five rhino species, and it was easy to see he had a special bond with his rangers who affectionately tickled him behind the ear and on his mud-caked belly. Also in this special 700 acre enclosure, patrolled by 24 hour armed guard and only accessible by 4WD are two female Northen White Rhino, Fatu and Najin, making up the last three of their species in the entire world. In an effort to protect Sudan and his family, his horn has been filed down to make him less of a target to poachers.
- A tribute to Ringo the Rhino Calf on World Rhino Day
Ringo was adorable. Full of charm and incredibly expressive. I was able to stay in his enclosure, with my husband Mark, chatting to the rangers and interacting with Ringo for a good half hour or so before his full belly and the Kenyan sunshine had the predictable effect and made him rather sleepy! His ranger led him through the gate to a stable like set-up for him to sleep at which point on the other side of the fence, a far larger rhino cast a huge slice of shade over sleepy little Ringo.
- Southern White meets Northern White
- Rhino Population figures
Ol Pejeta was purchased in 2004 by Flora and Fauna International, with financial support from a private philanthropic organisation, Arcus Foundation. 90,000 acres of savannah grassland was converted from cattle ranch to national land trust. As well as being a sanctuary for rhino, Ol Pejeta has one of the highest densities of predators in Kenya and a chimp sanctuary, opened by Jane Goodall, to rehabilitate rescued animals.
The conservancy is very beautiful. Our game drives were undoubtedly enhanced by the May rain which made the elephants of Ol Pejeta incredibly playful as they trumpeted at each other and chased the poor crowned cranes from one puddle to another. May is also a great time for seeing baby animals – there were new-born elephants, impala, zebra and giraffe all in abundance.
There are several places to stay – Sweetwaters Tented Camp, Kicheche Laikipia and Porini Rhino Camp among the choices.

The Last Temptation of ChristDirector: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey
Willem Dafoe plays Jesus Christ in this extraordinarily controversial adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis's novel. The film depicts a sometimes reluctant, self-doubting Jesus, gradually coming to accept His divinity and the inexorability of His ultimate fate. The much-maligned sex scene with Mary Magdalene (Barbara Hershey) occurs as an hallucination experienced by Jesus as he suffers on the cross. This particular sequence was what infuriated the film's most rabid critics, but in fact it is just one of many iconoclastic musings to be found in the film and its source novel. Equally volatile are the intimations that, as a carpenter, Jesus indifferently shaped the crucifixes for other condemned prisoners long before his own fate was sealed, and that Judas (Harvey Keitel) was literally manipulated into betrayal by a Christ whose preoccuption with his own destiny compelled him to "use" others. None of these departures from the normal interpretation of the scriptures are offered as any more than theory; as such, it was accepted as food for thought by the more open-minded clerics and Biblical scholars who recommended the film.

Only the simple-minded could condemn this film without seeing it in its entirety. The film posits as its central thesis Christ's realization that, had he rejected God, a life of possibility awaited him. Christ on the cross, in his great suffering, called out to God, "Why hast thou forsaken me?" The film is, in its essence, profoundly Christian, as Christ rejects the lures of the Devil, as in the Gospel according to Matthew, and embraces his Messianic purpose. The film, then, is in the end profoundly and conventionally religious. I suggest those who condemn it see it, think, and judge it according to what it really says.
This film is simply the most perfect portrayal of the human spiritual journey I have ever enjoyed. It is wonderful to take Jesus out of his divine wrapping and have him walk in this imperfect world. This story inspired me, while the original/mainstream story of Christ never did. When he is no longer guarunteed salvation (at least in his own mind), Jesus becomes truly brave, with everything to lose. Only in this way does his sacrifice become meaningful.
I must comment that the previous reviewer apparently missed the word 'Novel' in the introduction to the movie. I would bet he/she did not even see the movie. This is my favorite movie and one that I felt was profoundly spiritual. The 'dream' sequence, which is the most controversial, was exactly that, a DREAM...not fact. This is a movie that needs to be seen several times to get all the nuances and references to archaeological historical fact. To view a movie like this requires an OPEN mind, not one set on comparing a 'novel' to a sacred text. As for 'Passion?' That was GIBSON's 'passionate' lust for gratuitous violence. At least Kazanzakis names his book what it really is: a novel. One of the best performances by Willem Defoe. David Bowie was the perfect choice for Pontius Pilot. Scorsese's amazing ability to use a minimal number of actors in crowd scenes, has one imagining a cast of thousands! Very moving, made all the more so by Gabriel's wonderful sound track utilizing authentic middle eastern instruments. Blood, yes, but not gratutious violence.
First of all, remember that being tempted is not the same as giving into temptation. We are all tempted on a daily basis, but our "good" is how we say "no" to the temptation. I feel this is what the author was conveying when he wrote the book. Who does satan tempt? Those who are trying to live good lives. He may not need to tempt people who don't care to do good or believe in God because they are already going in the wrong direction, the way satan wants them to. So he picks on, with God's permission, those that are trying not to fall. Who do you think satan throws the most obstacles at and in the most cunning way? Those trying to lead a perfect life. Who is the best candidate for this? Jesus our Lord, who, out of love came to earth to live as a human to show us how to live. Yes he was still God the Son, but as the Spirit tells us through scripture, he lived just like us, eating, sleeping, and dealing with the fears and hopes that we all do. He was scared in Gethsemene. He was thirsty while carrying the cross. This is not to say he was weak, but that he showed us how to rely on our trust in God's love to see us through. How can you say Jesus loves us so much if was simple and easy for Him to die for us. I agree that it was a struggle for Him to be the perfect lamb, yet he made all the right choices to become just that. He was tempted in the desert but the temptations must have continued and gotten harder. This makes sense since the last thing satan wants to see is Christ dying for our sins! So why not think that maybe some of the theme of this book/ movie could not have truth to it? When I heard this movie got condemned by the christian community I didn't give it a chance either. But years later a watched the ENTIRE movie to get the FULL theme and I cry thinking of how Jesus may have been offered other things to make him happy, but he gave all that up for all of us, to die for us. Now THAT'S what I call love, sacrificing for others. I also agree with others who remind the viewer that the book/ movie is not trying to change the story of Christ's passion, but just to look at it from another POSSIBLE perspective to see deeper into Jesus' true mission. I know this takes an open mind to accept, but maybe we should pray for a more open mind when we look at a lot of things. The movie was GREAT and is in my collection of Jesus movies which I loan out to people to learn more. PEACE
This powerful movie tells the story of Christ like never before. I have read and heard the stories of Jesus my entire life but they always seemed so distant and unreal until i saw this movie. This movie gives Jesus a human aspect that inspires.
I only saw this movie because there were certain elements of the religous community that said it was bad and 'dangerous.' I am glad I did see it. I was breathtaken at this film. It is obviously about the stuggle that the 'writer' has between good and evil. To choose rightousness or not to choose rightousness. It was beautiful and powerfull. NOT AT ALL anti-Christian, nor is there that much of a departure from scripture. In my opinion the person who said it was is not very in tune with The One True God. Lastly this was a much better film thatn 'The Passion' by Mel Gibson, sorry Mel, but two hours of a man being torchured is not my idea of good entertainment, I hope you worked out your personal problem by making your movie. God, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, YHWH, JHVH Bless all.
I am addressing this to the writter who gave this movie one star. The book by the same name is a NOVEL, in other words, FICTION, "loosely based on the gospels." The author did NOT pretend it to be historical FACT! Did Jesus make crosses for the Romans? I doubt it. The dream sequence while on the cross was a DREAM and therefore also FICTIONAL. Why get so upset about a work of fiction? Mel Gibson's fiasco of violence is ridiculous! The Roman's would NEVER have spent that much time with a little known common criminal roughing him up! They didn't care! A Jew was a Jew was a Jew was a Jew. A few lashes with a whip and punches in the gut, shed some blood and nail 'em up! They hated being in Judea. The gospels were written to justify the execution of the leader of a small movement that would have died out because he was executed as a mere criminal. How better to convince your followers with your OWN set of novels?
This movie impacted me initially because I had to see what Jesus Christ really gave up. Sure it's earthly concerns but, if you haven't made up your mind on Him this is a step in understanding. Now I watch this movie from the perspective of an original disciple. Ones who may have heard of a messiah coming but, wasn't quite sure if this Jesus was the one. From that perspective the movie is powerful and explains a lot of the confusion with the true Biblical story. The disciples lived it, then told it or wrote it down. The New Testament had not obviously been written yet and if you can watch this movie with that big grain of salt you can have a feel for what you might have felt had you initially walked beside Him. The scene with John the Baptist in my book is one of the best scenes ever.
This movie is a great departure from what the Holy Scripture really says about Jesus Christ. This is the 'what if' movie of Jesus Christ. It is very much Anti-Christian; a blatant mockery of Christ's love for humanity, if you will. However, if you're quite an open-minded person yourself, well, at least you'd learn to appreciate this Scorsese junk. We all love Martin Scorsese, but this one movie that he made could make your head scrtach. Hate it, love it- it's up to you. The way it was made was undoubtedly great. Splendid. Artsy. Nevertheless, we all know that everything that is in this movie is a lie - a very big lie.
The Last Temptation, is horrible. Not only is it false, but it was directed by a guy who does crime and gangsta movies. Jesus Christ is sacred, and although he was tempted, he was not tempted by the flesh of women and he never said 'God loves me, I want him to stop.' That is TRASH! Go watch 'The Passion of the Christ.' That is accurately accurate. This is trash and Christian-Catholic dissing.

Forex trading plan for August 19
Kira Iukhtenko
Wednesday is going to be an important day for the US dollar. We will be watching the inflation data and the FOMC meeting minutes. The US currency could get fundamental support from the Chinese economic developments and the commodity rout extension.
GBP/USD has finally tested the levels above 1.5700 after the upbeat UK inflation releases. CPI added 0.1%, while the core CPI surged to 1.2% (5-months high). Price growth raised hopes for the BOE rate hike in the near future. Fix above 1.5700 would open the way to our next target of 1.5790.
There are no important releases to watch in the euro area until Friday. Meanwhile, EUR/USD is testing the 1.1050 support as we write (100-day MA). Fix below would trigger a move to 1.0820. Fed's expectations will play the biggest part in the coming days.
RBA meeting minutes released on Tuesday showed the central bank is satisfied with the AUD depreciation. We see space for more downside in the coming sessions. China's risks will influence the Aussie, so the pair AUD/USD targets 0.7315.

Gods And Monsters Chapter 2: BetrayalMature
They had made it out of the forest and saw dark smoke coming from the distance. "Where is that coming from?" The blonde had tears filling in her eyes as she ran in the direction of the smoke. The brunette put two and two together and took her sword out while following her in suit. The Palace was in view and there was an all out attack.
Hundreds of soldiers were charging into the gate. Brittania could hear the screams of the people inside. She had taken out her bow and started shooting arrows at the men outside of the gates as she was running. Each one more precise than the first. Valdis noticed the girls eyes becoming an icy blue and knew she needed to get into the gates as soon as possible. It had started to hail. Brittania spun around and used her bow to to whip a man in the face. It broke on contact and he went down. She ran into the gates after Valdis as a huge wave came from the ground and turned to ice acting as a wall to keep anyone else from coming.
The blonde was shocked as she had not known of that ability. "We must move quickly. It will not stand a chance once Crispus arrives." Valdis nodded and started taking out the people on the outside of the large palace as Brittania ran inside.
Valdis noticed that the hail was sharp long knife shapes that were coming from the sky. Not a single one hit her, she guessed she had Brittania to thank for that. A man that was charging at her suffered from one of the pieces impaling his skull. She came to where a large cage was and there was a tall, lean man fighting off some soldiers next to it. He was greatly outnumbered so she rushed over to help.
The inside of the palace looked worse than the outside, it was being over run and her men were dwindling down to nothing. She saw a man holding a young girl to the ground, Brittania took out one of her knives and threw it at the mans temple. She motioned for the girl to follow as they made their way up the stairs to her mothers thrown.
Valdis and the man stood there, surrounded by dead soldiers. The man looked at her. "Who are you?"
"I am Marcus." They looked at each other in mutual respect when they heard more footsteps coming their way. The turned to see a small army coming at them. Archers took there positions at a long distance. The hail had stopped which had the brunette worried that something might have happened to Brittania. Marcus and Valdis held their swords with a tight grip. She heard a cracking sound. As she turned to look behind her, she saw that the lock on the cage door was starting to freeze as it broke and hit the wet dirt with a splash. It opened and a large lion came walking out slowly and looked at the brunette. She was about to attack the animal, but it focused its attention on the army ahead and charged at them. She looked at Marcus and he just smiled as they charged after the large animal.
Brittania was fighting her way to where Julius and her mother were battling. With every swing, came another death. The room was covered with blood. She made it to where the steps were as Julius pushed Caelius to the ground, she looked at Brittania and held her hand out. She was stopped in her tracks. She was forced in the air and the sword came crashing to the ground. Brittania knew that her abilities would not effect this girl. She was an Bachi. She could bring pain just by speaking. "Tiktiktiktiktik. Wouldn't want little old mommy getting hurt would we." She said with an evil smirk.
"Why are you doing this Julius! We are family!" She said, trying to get out of the forced grip.
"Do you not realize? There is a new power coming to this weak place. Saytana will have complete control. We will be unstoppable." She said while studying the girl. "You will join us one day my old friend."
"I will never become one of you!" She screamed out, the force on her throat growing tighter. "You pathetic little swine!" She spit out with the little bit of air she had.
"You are a feisty one. Always have been. I just might want you all to myself." She said. Caelius came running at her but was stopped in her tracks by a sword being pushed into her mid section.
"Mother!" Brittania tried screaming, but it was choppy.
Julius smiled and looked at the younger girl. "Pain." She muttered and it felt as if she could feel a sharp pain in her side. Like a knife was being twisted every time she tried to breathe, yet nothing was there. She saw as her mother crumbled to the ground. Blood slowly soaking her long white dress.
Valdis ran through the doors and saw Brittania hovering in the air. She started running towards her, but was stopped by enemies. Julius saw both Marcus and Valdis. "I will hunt you down when this is over." She said as she walked away. When she was out of sight, Brittania fell to the ground and immedietley crawled to her mother. The lion came running at her and stood there as her protector.
"Brittania, I am truly sorry. You must leave." She was interrupted by a fit of coughs as drops of blood shot out of her mouth. "Start an army, take down Saytana. For our land, for our family."
"I will."
She handed the blonde a rolled up piece of paper. "I... I lo..." The women s eyes fluttered shut as she let out her last breath. Marcus and Valdis ran to the blondes side.
Marcus put his hand on the girls shoulder. She gently put her down and got up to face the two. "We must go." She said.
"No. We must take out every man invading. We swore to protect this place. It is our home." Marcus said disappointed.
"It is not home anymore. We must leave now." She walked to the back wall and pushed it as it opened. With a whistle, the lion charged into the tunnel. "Valdis, you will take the lead."
"I am not going in there. I am going to stand and fight."
"We stay, we die! We are greatly outnumbered and stand no chance against our enemy. She is to powerful. If we die now, there is no hope for this place." She looked at the door and heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Valdis noticed Brittania's eyes turning icy blue.
"Shit." As soon as the word escaped her lips she was knocked down by a wave and was being carried through the tunnel. She could hear Marcus shouting. As mad as she was, she had to admit, this was kind of fun. That is, until she saw a light at the end and heard something that sounded like a waterfall. "Brittania!" was all she could shout as she free fell out of the tunnel and into a large lake.
Briitania took one last look at her mother, then at the men entering the room. She saw Saytana come in behind them, followed by who were once friends. Their eyes met, and Saytana gave an evil smirk. Brittania grabbed the little girl she saved earlier and made her way into the tunnel as it shut. Ice covered the closed wall. They ran until they got to the end. She wrapped the girl in her arms and jumped after telling her to hold her breathe.
She came emerging out of the water, still with the girl in a tight grip and handed her to Marcus. "What made you think it would be a good idea to do that?" Valdis said getting in the blondes personal space. She was silent for a moment. "Brittania!" Still silent. The blonde walked past her to a distance and put her hands on her hips.
"We must keep moving. There is an empty plot of land next to a river just East of here. That will have to do. There is a small village I know that we can trust. They have weapons."
Valdis cracked her neck and bit the inside of her cheek to keep from saying something and just followed her.
They got to the village and it was empty. "Where are the people?" Valdis asked.
"There aren't any, that is why I can trust it." Brittania said while pushing a wooden door open to reveal a variety of weapons.
"Why can we not stay here?" Marcus asked.
"It is out in the open and not safe. The river is not far from here." Brittania armed herself with a metal bow and extra arrows.
They made it to the river and started making camp. Marcus started making barriers as Valdis checked the perimeter. She had made it back to the camp and noticed Brittania taking off her shirt in her tent through the crack. She could see the curve of her breast. She had scars that went down her back and her left hip. The blonde had made eye contact and rolled her eyes. Valdis tried to move but her feet wouldn't move. Than before she knew it, she's soaked to the bone by a wave and the blonde has a big grin on her face as she zipped the tent closed. Valdis spit some water out and went to start her tent as she cursed inwardly.
Brittania was standing by the river as Marcus joined her. "Is the fire lite?" She asked.
"Yes. Brittania, what are we going to do? We have no army. This place will not be safe for long."
"I know Marcus, but it is safe for now, and that is the best that I can do." She looked around. "It will be night soon, I need you to go to our old alliances and anyone you know that we can trust. We must build a community here. I give Saytana a few days before she sends people after us. Do you think you can do this simple task?"
"Yes." They stood in silence and starred out to the sunset. "It's beautiful." He said.
"Truly magnificent."
"I'm sorry."
"What for?"
"Your mother, our people."
"It is fine, it will just fuel the fire for us to be victorious. Now go get your gear. It will be a long night." He nodded and walked back to the camp. "A very, very long night."
Valdis had trouble looking away from the blonde sitting by the fire. She was desperate to make conversation to break the awkwardness. "So, how long do you think Marcus will be gone?"
"Can't say. That is for him to decide who he goes too and how far they are located."
"You are acting very proper. Why?"
"You act as if there is tension. Why?" The taller woman retorted with a slight smirk.
"What for?"
"You know what Brittania."
"No. I" sorry, I do not."
Valdis rolled her eyes. " I know you know, but can you blame me? You are a Goddess after all."
The blonde smirked at this while taking her cooked fish away from the fire and cut it in half with her knife and handed it to the brunette. "You need to eat."
"I'm fine."
"I need you at your best, now eat." The brunette sighed in defeat after remembering the unexpected shower she had earlier when she annoyed the blonde and took the fish. It was silent. Brittania finally stood up and stretched. She looked at the lion. Valdis watched in awe as she could tell that whatever the blonde was thinking, the beast could understand. It got up on all fours and started circling our small camp. "Time to get some sleep." She said before walking to her tent.
"Fine. But the kid is with you." She said finishing her fish.
"The blondes shoulders slumped forward. She couldn't say it, but she looked in the little girls green eyes and thought 'But I hate children.' She sighed and motioned for the little girl to go in first.

Sequential development of pathogens in the maize tarspot disease complex

The tarspot complex is caused by the interaction of Phyllachora maydis and Monographella maydis. Coniothyrium phyllachorae, possibly a mycoparasite, is found in older ascostromata of P. maydis, which always appears first causing tarspot. M. maydis follows and is responsible for the damaging "fisheye" symptom. The fisheye symptom is always associated with a tarspot in the center of the lesion, whereas 12 to 20% of the Phyllachora ascostromata remained free of M. maydis. Inoculations of maize leaves with the Microdochium anamorph of the Monographella (usually produced in lesions) failed to produce infections. Some infections with M. maydis were, however, obtained under unusual conditions in the field. Inoculations onto tarspots in the laboratory were unsuccessful, but in field experiments inoculations with conidia of M. maydis enhanced severity of the tarspot complex. Fisheye symptoms of the complex naturally appear 2 to 7 days after the manifestation of P. maydis. This is followed a week later by the appearance of M. maydis which became predominant in the lesions and is associated with empty perithecia of P. maydis. In the early stages of the tarspots pycnidia of the anamorph of P. maydis, Linochora sp., could occasionally be observed. Ascomata of M. maydis were rare in the field. Of the 36 genetic materials of CIMMYT tested, 30 developed the fisheye symptom, 4 tarspots only and 2 remained free of symptoms

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) When asked about the performance of teammate Danny Cepero, New York Red Bulls captain Juan Pablo Angel didn't mince words.
"That could very well be the best debut in soccer history," Angel said after Cepero became the first goalkeeper to score in a Major League Soccer game, leading the Red Bulls to a 3-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night.
While Angel scored two goals, the night belonged to Cepero, who has been with New York (10-10-9) for two seasons but never played a regular-season minute before Saturday night. He got the start because regular goalie Jon Conway was suspended 10 league games for using a banned substance.
Cepero's goal came when he took a direct kick from his own 25-yard line in the 83rd minute. The ball bounced high about 20 yards in front of the goal and went in over the head of Columbus goalie Andy Gruenebaum.
"I just wanted to put it in the general area of the goal, I had no intent of scoring," Cepero said. "I didn't even know it went in. I had to ask someone, 'Do I get credit for that?' It was kind of crazy. It's incredible to think that you can look at random stats many years from now and there I'll be."
Cepero also made two saves, including a spectacular diving stop in the final minute of the first half that kept the game scoreless.
"It was a huge sigh of relief to get that first save," Cepero said. "Considering the situation that happened, I was glad to get the support of my teammates. I was nervous before hand - it was difficult for me to get to bed last night and I couldn't take a nap today. I'm just happy to contribute."
Angel gave New York a 1-0 lead in the 48th minute, when he made a brilliant sliding maneuver between two Crew defenders to get to the ball and beat Gruenebaum.
The Crew (16-7-6) tied it in the 62nd minute, when Steven Lenhart headed home a direct free kick attempt from Guillermo Barros Schelotto, but Angel put the Red Bulls ahead for good in the 75th, when he secured a pass from Seth Stammler with his chest, then put the ball to his right foot and beat Gruenebaum for his 13th goal.
"It was just a matter of getting the job done, Angel said. "It was a night to enjoy. Needless to say, it was a difficult week, but I think everyone played a part in this one and I was just lucky enough to get two goals. It was a team effort."
Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio was pleased with his team's performance.
"Considering the circumstances, this team showed great spirit and desire. They showed a willingness to overcome adversity," he said.
Osorio said he was also pleased with Cepero's performance.
"He made that tremendous save to keep us in the game at the end of the first half and showed he was ready when we needed him," Osorio said. "As for the goal, well, we got a little help from the man upstairs."
Cepero's teammates also showed their appreciation for his efforts.
While he was being interviewed by reporters after the game, teammate Andrew Boyens hit Cepero across the side of the head and face with a shaving cream pie.
"I wish it was whipped cream," Cepero said. "At least it would be something edible."

"This is bullshit!" I roared, loud enough that the people on the other side of the cardboard walls of the tenement I was in probably heard. "Why do I have to join some dinky team now? I've been doing perfectly well so far."
"It's just the ways things go. We just had problems finding someone to lead to operation before now." Hermes answered.
Contrarily to what people though gods looked like, Hermes was rather boyish and whenever he visited the world, he didn't wear the old toga or anything. Instead he was dressed as a bicycle messenger, his bike waiting beyond the door.
I drew a long puff of my cigarette in annoyance and blew the smoke in his face.
"You know smoking is bad, right?" He asked.
"It's not like it's going to kill me is it now?" I chuckled dryly.
"Excuse me...?" A third person asked tentatively. "What are you doing here?"
I turned around, showing my back to Hermes who sighed in annoyance, and faced the man, behind him his body lightly swung from one side to the next, hanging from the ceiling fan by an extension cord.
"Aren't you the cable man?"
"Took you look enough to wake up." I muttered before wrapping an arm around his shoulder. "I my dear fellow, am the guy who's job is to help you pass. As for the cable thing, that was just to mark you. This nice little fellow here is Hermes, yes, that Hermes, god of messengers and all that stuff. Judging by the numbers of crucifix in your house that must probably come as a rather big shock but you'll get used to it."
"But... But... I..." The man babbled. "Where am I going?" He then sheepishly asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.
"I'd love to tell you it's full of fluffy clouds or heck, even tell you it's all fire and brimstone so you could prepare, but hell if I know, I'm not allowed there. Turns out, Mr. Hermes here is outsourcing his job to mortal souls. Which is nice I guess if you like being around dead people all day and work as an indentured servant for an eternity."
"Frederick..." The god said, not amused.
"Anyway, this is pretty much where we are. You dangling there and me working as a reaper. You'll see a light and want to go toward it and then you'll be in what's next. Soon enough I hope, because I have to be at a cafe in about an hour."
"What about my family?" The man asked.
"They'll be alright, you have insurance right or is your note lying about that?"
He paced around a bit, more by human habit than anything, ghosts don't need to stretch their legs, before going in front of a picture of his daughters. He tried to touch it, but his hand went trough."
"I think I'm ready..." He whined.
His eyes fixated on something I couldn't see and he walked toward it, my attention going back to Hermes.
"You could show more sympathy, you know." He reproached me.
"Not in my contract, not in my nature either." I said, walking toward the body and lifting the wallet away from his pants, pocketing it.
"See? That's the kind of things that made you end up here."
"Yeah, yeah."
He sighed once more before leaving. I followed but he and his bike were already gone when I passed the door.
"Heartland Café." I muttered, reading the folded up note in my jacket as I closed the apartment door behind myself.
