Read first 10 pages. Fell asleep. Read another 20. Lost faith in humanity. Quit.
Stylistically, this book might be called a success. It strongly evokes fable and allegory, which was clearly the intent. While such a stylistic choice can quite easily come across as phony, and often does so here, especially considering the means towards which it's employed, I found myself enjoying it anyway. The language is pleasant and it flows well, and I'm a HUGE sucker for this kind of literary affectation. Unfortunately, that's about the only nice thing I can say about it. As many will tell you, the moral of the story is trite and idiotic, and everything serves that lesson that it's trying to teach, which means the characters are lifeless mouthpieces and the plot is the simplest travel from point A to B for treasure quest that you can imagine. I swear to god I wrote a treasure quest story about the Justice League when I was ten-ish that had more going on in it. There was a kidnapping halfway through that diverted them from their goal (Green Lantern, I think), and the Flash liked Wonder Woman but she didn't like him back because she liked Superman instead. Pretty sure I just got all that from the cartoon, ten is a little young to be creating love triangles out of thin air.
So basically what I'm getting at here is that it's a book that either believes itself to be or wants to appear deep and meaningful, when in reality it's not only especially shallow, but completely misguided and naive. I didn't bring up a story I wrote when I was ten just for kicks, this is literally not far off from the kind of story a child would tell. It's essentially [b:The Secret|52529|The Secret (The Secret, #1)|Rhonda Byrne|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1391995828s/52529.jpg|2001660], but in the style of a fantastical fable following the hero's journey structure by a writer who clearly has some talent, but nothing real and substantial to say with it. It's just a lot of psuedo-spiritual fluff. To be perfectly honest it often comes across as more of a self-help book than a novel, which is kinda weird and icky. If you want to write a self-help book, do it. If you want to write a novel, do it. Don't write a self-help novel, that's just absurd.
But hey, it's one of the 100 best selling novels of all time according to some list I just found by googling and didn't bother to fact check at all, so what do I know? More people read self-help books than novels anyway, at least in America, so maybe he's onto something. Maybe I'm going about this writing thing all wrong. Creating compelling characters is hard. Creating an interesting plot that follows the rules of cause and effect is hard. I should just write a 200 page "novel," that preaches the benefits of the paleo diet and gives you a fifteen step process for repairing your damaged relationships; meanwhile some cardboard cutout characters do a lot of traveling and talking to themselves because of heat exhaustion or whatever. I kid, I kid. But seriously, unless you're highly religious, or just way into the pseudo-religion of self-help books and the law of attraction, you will likely scoff your way through this entire thing. It's just kind of dumb and infantile. Like Campbell's classic chicken noodle soup, it may be comforting in the moment, especially if you're sick, or a child, or especially a sick child, but the ugly truth is that it's actually quite unhealthy and you'd be better served by soup that doesn't use dehydrated mechanically separated chicken and 'flavoring.'
You've got to have a dream, as someone once said. I think it was Marx. A dream is the rope that pulls you through the world, and life is what happens to you along the way.
Purpose, it's that special thing that lights a fire under your arse. You can believe it's God-given or predetermined if that helps you cope, but the actual goal is less important than its role as a catalyst for experiences you had never considered.
Time may change you, but you can't trace time – I can't tell you why The Alchemist is one of the best-selling novels of all time, but I'd guess that idea is a part of it; it's easy to buy into but also something I think we all recognise. It's certainly less philosophically problematic than the vague-whiff-of-bollocks stuff about the interconnectedness of all things.
It's not the destination but the journey. And that's been the theme of road stories from The Odyssey to EuroTrip. Not a classic for the ages, but The Alchemist is worth the little time it demands of you.
If you are religious and not anti-Islam, this book is likely impactful. If you are not religious but is somewhat spiritual, this book likely has meaningful nuggets after filtering. If you are an atheist and have a disdain for Allah, God in books, skip this.
The story begins with a shepherd, 'the boy', who is content with his herd of sheep, traveling in the Andalusian plains. But a recurring dream starts him on a new journey – a gypsy woman told him about his treasure at the Pyramids, a king disguised as an old man taught him about his 'Personal Legend', a crystal merchant provided the perspective of 'roads not taken', going into the desert with an Englishman who seeks a 200 years old alchemist, finding the love of his life in the desert oasis, becoming a disciple of the alchemist, and mastering the 'Language of the World'. And yes, he found his treasure too.
Paulo Coelho wrote the introduction where he included a quote by Oscar Wilde, "Each man kills the thing he loves." This is the book's lesson. The boy had decision points throughout his journey to stay, turn back, to do anything else but to find his treasure or to fulfill his personal legend. He faces obstacles and is tested, but it is up to his resolve to continue or not. I must admit there are contrite, artificially deep moments. The references of Allah and God annoyed me at times, too. But still, enough meaningful thoughts made this a worthy short read.
On 'the world's greatest lie':
"That at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate."
On starting fresh – the pleasure of a new beginning is evident:
"Looking around, he sought his sheep, and then realized that he was in a new world. But instead of being saddened, he was happy. He no longer had to seek out food and water for the sheep; he could go in search of his treasure, instead. He had not a cent in his pocket, but he had faith. He had decided, the night before, that he would be as much an adventurer as the ones he had admired in books."
On 'going with the flow':
"Sometimes, there's just no way to hold back the river."
On intuition or hunches:
"…intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there."
On the soul and love - for the world and more, which I interpret as for the environment also:
"Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive… and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us."
"That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too… Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World… When we love, we always strive to become better than we are."
On death – I share this belief; it's likely the reason I'm not afraid of dying:
"To die tomorrow was no worse than dying any other day. Every day was there to be lived or to mark one's departure from this world."
'Maktub' = 'It is written', which I interpret as sometimes in life, it just is.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0061122416, Paperback)Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.
Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --Gail Hudson
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:07:01 -0400)
An Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within.… (more)

Royalist (schooner)
|United Kingdom
|James Brooke
|Built in Cowes
|General characteristics
|Class and type:
|Topsail schooner
|Tons burthen:
|142 tons
|6 pounders
The Royalist was a 142-ton topsail schooner, comparable with HMS Pickle, which had brought the news of the Battle of Trafalgar home. She was probably built in Cowes in 1834 as a gentleman's yacht for Rev T.L. Lane, but purchased by James Brooke in 1836 with money he had inherited from his father. He intended to use it for an expedition to the East Indies in the course of a circumnavigation of the globe,[1] in preparation for which he cruised in the Mediterranean in 1837.[2] As a vessel of the Royal Yacht Squadron[3][4] it was permitted to fly the White Ensign and be accorded the same rights as ships of the Royal Navy. When armed, with "6 six-pounders, a number of swivels, and small arms in abundance," Royalist was effectively a private warship. Royalist played an instrumental role in establishing Brooke's foothold in Sarawak, from his first visit in 1839 until he became the first White Rajah of Sarawak in 1841. The Royalist was last heard of in Brunei in September 1843, and is said to have been sold early in 1844.[5]
In modern Sarawak, there are several references to this well known ship, such as The Royalist Pub in Kuching.

From the September 2014 issue of Wine Advocate:
Boutari 2004 Vinsanto
94 points
The 2004 Vinsanto is a library wine pulled for reevaluation. It has come along brilliantly and serious is in need of an uptick. It may get even better with cellaring. It is a blend of 90% Assyrtiko and 10% Aidani weighing in at 12% alcohol. Bottle aging has greatly helped this wine. It has fleshed out and simply unfolded, becoming more complex along the way and showing layers that it did not initially seem to have. It shows remarkable power and intense grip on the finish, grabbing the entire palate with tension. With some nods to Boutari's 2009 style, it is a bit on the muscular side and emphasizes the power more than the sugar and zest. Whether due to age, vintage or the lower alcohol level (perhaps all three), this 2004 does that style better, though, at least just now. Finally, these wines do age a long while. It is hard to say when they die and they may outlive a lot of people. Tight and still evolving, this 2004 should have a long life. I tend to be conservative in drinking windows (my normal tendency anyway), as the wines can change in character with extreme age and oxidation. Not everyone may like the older incarnations, given that they will substitute complexity for zest. It is perhaps fairer to acknowledge, here and in general, a much longer window (they may go longer still). Just note that as they age, they may not seem quite the same in character. Drink now-2035.

The Worst Ever.
I've been going to Anderson Family Medicine since I was around 11 or 12. When I was 15, Dr. Bailey misdiagnosed my asthma as pneumonia for three months! I was in and out of the ER three days a week, and even missed so much school I had to home school the rest of my high school career due to so many absences. Eventually, after allowing my O2 SAT to drop to a dangerous level in her office, she had me admitted. Recently, I had an abnormal papsmear and she scheduled a biopsy and colposcopy for lowgrade CN1 cells, and recently scheduled a cryo four days after my biopsy. She only caught this mistake four minutes before my appointment, and called to cancel as I was nearing her suite without so much as an apology for my waste of time or gas. Now, I have to wait six weeks for a cryo, that I seriously doubt I need due to personal research... without so much as an explanation of my test results. I cried in front of this woman, scared to death I had cancer due to family history... and she just stabbed my cervix, and walked out with "We'll call you in two weeks." I don't think it's fair, and I certainly don't believe it's right. This woman has absolutely no humanity or empathy left, and I'm seeking care elsewhere.

Favorite Italian Restaurants in Central Florida
There was a time, not too long ago, when a restaurant would throw some pasta onto a plate, slosh some red sauce on top of it, shake some sawdusty substance out of a jar labeled Parmesan, and call it Italian. What's worse is that a lot of people ate it and figured it was authentic.
Times have certainly changed, at least for Central Florida. We now have long list of really terrific Italian restaurants that range from small mamme e pop trattorias to full fine dining ristoranti. Don't misunderstand -- there are still plenty of lousy Italian pretenders out there. But Central Floridians are becoming more sophisticated, and they're learning that there's more to Italian restaurants than garlic breadsticks. You just have to know where to look.
Here then are some of my favorite Italian restaurants:
Rocco's Italian Grille -- Rocco's is one of the area's hidden gems. Although it occupies a space on busy U.S. Highway 17-92, just north of Fairbanks Avenue, it isn't easily noticed from the cars whizzing by. But make a point to find it. The food here is first rate, and the service is, too. If Rocco's bolognese sauce is on the menu, get it. It doesn't matter what you put it on.
Antonio's La Fiamma -- Antonio's is like getting two restaurants in one. Downstairs is a market, wine shop and deli, with tables and chairs set up among the racks and stacks of imported dry goods and bottles of vino. Upstairs, however, is a fine dining restaurant with crisp white linen tablecloths, excellent service, and authentic renderings of Italy's finest dishes. I like the risottos here, expertly prepared. And while the veal Marsala is always delicious, I sometimes ask the chef for his veal Milanese.
Enzo's on the Lake -- Enzo himself is gone, but his legacy lives on in this lakeside restaurant that occupies a former house. Start with the antipasti, which your server will cull from the table of salumi, cheeses and other goodies at the front of the dining room. My favorite dish here is the bucatini alla Enzo, which features fat, hollow noodles with prosciutto, peas, bacon, and mushrooms, all tossed tableside.
Stefano's Trattoria -- This is a true mom and pop operation, with Marie and Stefano Lacomarre the owners and operators. Although Stefano is a native of Marsala, Italy, his cooking style is more closely related to his adopted Brooklyn. Not exactly old country authentic, but pretty darned good nonetheless.
Terramia Winebar e Trattoria -- Owner Rosario Spagnolo has been involved in a number of Italian restaurants in the area (including the original Bravissimo, when it first opened on Howell Branch Road in Winter Park). Terramia also has a wonderful antipasti array -- in fact, I could make a meal of that alone. But I also like the salmone Portofino, a Ligurian style seafood entree.

My uncle is now the fire chief in his town. When he started his career a long time ago, at the Mölndal brandstation, he was also moonlighting as electrician. That wasn't the career he really wanted, but money was tight and since he had the training, he might as well use it.
One day, his boss at the fire station tells him – completely seriuos – "since you're an electrician, why don't you change that broken light bulb?" My uncle got furious!
A few years back, I used to like to tell that story whenever someone I hardly knew would say to me "since you work at Microsoft, why don't you fix <insert random problem here> on my computer?" These days it's hard to be so arrogant. Especially after having spent a good portion of my christmas vacation cleaning spyware-ridden and fixing wonky-acting machines… It's not that this is really hard, but it sure is tedious.
Two things to tell friends & family:
- http://www.microsoft.com/spyware – good end user information about spyware, and links to removal tools.
- http://www.microsoft.com/security – gives information on how you can protect yourself, and how you can get no-charge support for virus and security problems. In North America, the phone number is 1-866-PCSAFETY. Other regions have other numbers.

Surprised by improvement in back pain
A pleasant surprise for me was improvement in back pain. I take it 5 times a day for stress and anxiety (works fairly well for me) and noticed an improvement in chronic muscle pain in my back. What a great surprise because nothing else works except prescription muscle relaxers and those supressed my immune system.

Lemon Balm is a great sleep aid. I add about 20 drops of Lemon Balm to ¾ cup of hot water, to sip before bedtime and sleep comfortably throughout the night. Also helps to relieve muscular pain and discomfort from indigestion. This is a product I will continue to take.
I love!

This works WONDERFULLY for my overall anxiety levels and moodiness. It doesn't necessarily put me to sleep, which is good in my case because I'm using it for generalized anxiety that I experience during the day; but it certainly helps in putting me at ease before I go to sleep if necessary.

Helps immediately regulate your heartbeat if it is unregulate because of detoxing or stess. After taking one dose in your mouth a few minutes later your heartbeat gets relaxed....or it's the placebo effect, for me it works.
Very good!

Lemon balm is best known for it's anti-anxiety and calming effects, but I use it primarily for my heartburn/GERD, I take it with meadowsweet this way its much more effective. If you like, check my other reviews!

You know you're a computer security professional when:
• Although you have no ill intent, you spend no small amount of your downtime in airports thinking of ways to circumvent TSA security — and you've come up with several can't-miss terrorist ideas that even Jack Bauer couldn't stop.
• You lock your screensaver with twice as much insistence when security friends are around than when strangers are, because you're not nearly as worried about a stranger's intentions.
• You secretly hope you don't miss a big virus outbreak while you are out on vacation.
Read the rest… 😉

NJ's Christie keeps low profile as Dems attack
Credit: The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Moving cautiously to repair his image, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is maintaining a low profile this weekend as the nation's governors gather in Washington.
Republican officials have been eager to change the subject as Democrats link Christie's troubles to vulnerable GOP governors in a challenging election season.

If early voting numbers are any indication, more people are voting in this election than the last non-presidential election. Houston Public Radio's Laurie Johnson reports.
Local early voting numbers are ten percent higher than the last governor's race in 2002. Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman says early voting this year represents about 30 percent of the overall turnout. About 171,000 people used early voting in Harris County.
"So that's encouraging that we're going to have a moderately good turnout on election day for a gubernatorial election."
When comparing numbers from the '02 election, the trend looks the same for Brazoria County. County Elections Director Janice Evans says they've seen a significant jump in early voting.
"Brazoria County had 17,986 people vote early. For this election, we had 24,726 people vote early. So that's up by about 7,000 voters."
What's unclear is what's causing the jump in the numbers.
"I don't know if it's because people are finding the convenience of early voting or if, you know, more people are interested in the races that are out there."
The Texas Governor's race, pitting a Republican incumbent against a Democratic and two Independent candidates has generated a lot of election buzz. Additionally, the race for Congressional District 22 may be driving more people to the polls. And once they get there, Kaufman says in Harris County, the ballot could take some time to comb through.
"The size of the ballot and the complexity of the ballot is a big challenge and we'd like to urge voters to carefully review their ballot before punching the cast ballot button for the last time. Voting a straight party might not catch every race that there is to be voted on this time because of other local elections that are on the ballot as well."
Kaufman is projecting a voter turnout of about 35 percent of the population. The State Secretary Roger Williams is projecting an overall state turnout of about 36 percent.

Arriving in Melbourne at the age of sixteen, William Henry Rocke went on to become the proprietor of the city's most important furniture importing and manufacturing business. He participated in the great intercolonial and international exhibitions and the elaborate room settings he presented at the 1880–81 Melbourne International Exhibition, of which this cabinet was a part, caused a sensation. The cabinet is in the 'Old English' style, one of the many revivalist styles of the Aesthetic movement, and combines elegant inlaid decoration with panels painted by the Scottish-born Melbourne-based artist, John Mather.

Adath Israel is a vibrant and welcoming egalitarian, Conservative congregation where Jews by birth or choice, interfaith families, traditional and non-traditional families celebrate our Jewish faith and heritage. We strive to meet the diverse spiritual, religious, educational and social needs of our members and to further the causes of the Jewish people in our community, the surrounding communities and the state of Israel.
As soon as the Jews settled in the Holy Land, they began to count and observe seven-year cycles. Every cycle would culminate in a Sabbatical year, known as ShemittahI, literally: "to release." This is Rabbi Haaz's seventh year and he will begin his sabbatical on December 1.
The Board here at Adath Israel has secured the services of Isaac Yager a graduating senior at the Jewish Theological Seminary H.L. Miller Cantorial School and William Davidson School for Jewish Education. During his year of study in Israel, Isaac had the privilege to sing in the Jerusalem Great Synagogue choir and study hazzanut with Raymond Goldstein and Hazzan Naftali Herstik. Born in NYC, Isaac has also sung professionally with the Boston Lyric Opera chorus and was a young artist in the Castleton Festival, the late Maestro Lorin Maazel's summer music festival, where he studied voice with artists including Neil Shicoff and Denyce Graves. As a High Holiday hazzan, Isaac has served communities on Long Island and upstate New York. Last year, Isaac served as the cantorial intern at NYC's Ansche Chesed synagogue as well as the Jewish educational intern at Park Avenue Synagogue Congregational School where he has also taught for the past four years. Isaac holds a BA in theater from Bard College and a Masters in Music in vocal performance from Boston University.
Isaac will be with us 2-3 weekends a month from December through the middle of May when Rabbi Haaz returns We are so pleased to have Iaasc here with us and sincerely welcome him into our Adath Israel Family.
Raffle Time!

On average, listings lease in the $30's per square foot per year. The Westchester County region is going through a a rise in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate increased $1 per sqft per year. That's a 4% rise in rent.
In the last 90 days, 168 listings have been listed, so you'll want to check back regularly for new listings. About 3% of the office spaces in the Westchester County are subleases, so you will probably have to focus your search on direct office leases. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 3,760 sqft, there are still 0 new availabilities below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this region are close to 3 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 1977 and are Class A.

Can the trivial rhythms of life be fascinating and momentous? The answer is yes in the case of Kevin MacDonald's Life in a Day, which premiered this week at Sundance and quickly set the tone for this year's film festival.
The British Oscar winner (for his 1999 documentary about the 1972 Munich Olympics, One Day in September), best known for Touching the Void and The Last King of Scotland, made a worldwide plea for people to record one day of their life – 24 July 2010 – and submit it via YouTube. Hundreds of cameras were sent out to the developing world and some of the remotest corners of Earth. As a result, MacDonald, and producers Ridley and Tony Scott, were swamped with 5000 hours of footage from 192 countries.
"We had people logging all the clips and rating them before I saw them," the director admits. "I only looked at the ones rated with four and five stars. We had another category which was six stars – that meant it was so bad it was good."
Starting at midnight, MacDonald shows his subjects going about the rituals of their day. The breaking of eggs. The brushing of teeth. The ringing of a school bell. There's comedy and pathos in mundane activities. A little boy shines shoes in South America and snarls at a grown-up for poaching his patch. Another lights a candle in the household shrine for his dead mother and then skips off to watch TV.
Does the first ever feature film made in conjunction with YouTube mean we're all film-makers now? Not necessarily. "I was relieved actually," MacDonald confesses. "People might all be able to film now, but it doesn't mean they could tell a story. It needs some kind of director's skill to do that."
Documentaries continue to dominate Sundance. In Becoming Chaz, one of the most talked-about movies of the festival, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato follow the journey of Cher's daughter, Chastity, as she transforms, through gender reassignment, into Chaz. Perhaps no greater compliment could be paid to Chaz than to call him a thoroughly nice bloke. Though her face is now incapable of showing any kinds of struggle, Cher honestly admits that it's been tough for her to accept his choices. She's not alone. As Chaz emerges from court with his new legal gender status, he's taunted by the paparazzi. "Are you off to get a beer? Are you going to a strip club now you're a man?"
Jennifer Siebel Newsom's Miss Representation, an examination of how the media portrays women, further explored this machismo. Take note Anne Hathaway: in playing Catwoman, you're not an empowered female, you're what's described in the movie as a "fighting fuck toy". The film has been getting standing ovations, although I wonder if most women watching it were primarily thinking how good Jane Fonda looked for her age. Mental attitudes have to be the first to change.
Morgan Spurlock's The Greatest Movie Ever Sold made the point that everything has its price. In it, the maverick director investigates the world of film finance and advertising by seeking out sponsors for his movie. A brand of pomegranate juice, Pom Wonderful, takes the bait, along with 14 other companies. He even tries to get BP on board.
Having sold his film to the highest corporate bidder, Spurlock cheerfully renamed it "Pom Wonderful presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" at the festival and handed out bottles of the juice at the premiere. Festival organisers were reportedly furious, not because of product placement, but because Pom Wonderful isn't an official festival sponsor. It seems there's no such thing as independent cinema, even at its self-proclaimed home.
Indeed, while Sundance continues to operate with a rage-against-the-corporate-machine ethos, the festival is now so well-established on the calendar, and so conveniently close to Hollywood, that for a week it resembles LA on skis. You can easily bump into Demi and Ashton in Park City, Utah, this two-street town, and whenever founder Robert Redford appears, there's a reverential and embarrassing hush – but many of the stars party discreetly in private homes a few miles away. Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent played in tiny venues – or are rumoured to have. Most fans were left outside in the cold, slaves to the tender mercies of specially imported bouncers.
There is plenty of fur, frozen faces that have little to do with the chill, and Harvey Weinstein, too. While there's no official market at Sundance, deals have already been done for worldwide releases of potential mainstream pleasers like Margin Call, a thriller about the 2008 financial crash, starring Kevin Spacey and Demi Moore and written by first-timer J C Chandor, son of a Merrill Lynch banker, as well as the offbeat coming-of-age tale Homework, starring Freddie Highmore. Remake rights have also been acquired for an Anglo-Indian documentary, The Bengali Detective.
The festival is an ideal place to come to find a film distributor, according to British film-maker David Mackenzie. He's reunited with Ewan McGregor, who starred in his 2003 film Young Adam, for Perfect Sense. Two lovers, played by McGregor and Eva Green, move ever closer as the world around them loses its senses.
At the forefront of a strong British presence this year was Project Nim, from Man on Wire director James Marsh. His study of Nim, a chimpanzee who spent the first five years of his life being brought up by humans, is one of the most affecting screenings here.
There's also the strange but beautiful The Nine Muses by Londoner John Akomfrah, which tells the story of post-colonial immigration to Britain in the 1950s entirely in verse. Part visual poetry, part English A Level textbook, he uses the words of Homer, T S Eliot, Milton and Emily Dickinson to document a generation's journey.
The IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade also pleased audiences with Submarine, his directorial debut and a coming-of-age tragi-comedy. It stars Paddy Considine, whose first film, Tyrannosaur, featuring an outstanding performance from Peter Mullan, is also screening. Another talked-about turn comes from Dominic Cooper, playing Saddam Hussein's stand-in in The Devil's Double.
All of them will be hoping for a little of the Sundance sparkle. If your film is a hit here, it could be the toast of Hollywood in exactly a year's time. "Fifteen films nominated for the Oscars this week premiered at Sundance," points out festival spokesperson Brook Addicott. "And three of the four nominations in the Best Documentary category were first shown here, too." Lest we forget, many of this year's British offerings got to the festival thanks to funding from the soon-to-be extinct Film Council. Next year, if Morgan Spurlock's predictions are correct, they could be brought to you courtesy of BP.
Sundance 2011: The ones to watch
Perfect Sense
Ewan McGregor is back on form in David Mackenzie's apocalyptic love story, in which Eva Green also stars. Two people find each other as those around them lose their senses one by one. You'll never complain about the smell of diesel oil again.
Life in a Day
Kevin MacDonald, along with Ridley and Tony Scott, weaves a masterful tapestry depicting humanity on a single day on Earth. From watching women pound maize in a remote African village to a young man enjoying a pint with his dad in the pub, it's life-affirming and uplifting.
Happy Happy
'The Good Life' goes awry in Norwegian director Anne Sewitsky's clever comedy about couples. An apparently perfect married pair move in next door to Kaja, whose husband doesn't seem interested in her anymore. Indiscretion turns into an inevitable and slyly enjoyable debacle.
The Future
Miranda July ('You Me and Everyone We Know') has made a wildly inventive drama about the fears that accompany relationships. 'The Future' sees 30-somethings Sophie (played by July) and Jason (Hamish Linklater) trying to have one last burst of freedom before settling into grown-up responsibilities. By the way, it's narrated by a cat.
Meet Oliver Tate, the most self-important and precocious teen since Adrian Mole started writing his diary. Richard Ayoade ('The IT Crowd') makes an impressive directing debut as Oliver vies for the love of his pyromaniac girlfriend Jordana and tries to save his mother from having an affair with their New Age neighbour.Reuse content

"Is that so?" The young boy quipped cryptically, the grin on his pale freckled face much wider than should have been possible.
Aggravated, Petricia was about to rush him when the boy jumped from his position into a backflip and landed en point.
Sūraja's cat like screech echoed as she fell into the pool with a splash. He then proceeded to tip his hat down in apology.
"I'm sorry, little one, but you'll have to wait a thousand more years before you can catch me."
Sūraja resurfaced, her ears turned down due to be being wet and her clothes entirely soaked. "Askrāps!" She snapped in his direction, causing an explosion to occur just over the rock. Chester seemed to anticipate her next move and had already hopped onto a nearby branch.
"I'm guessing I should come back when you three aren't so hostile then. Alice, dear, I think you should head west and visit the Spider-Teller. I'm sure he can tell you a thing or two about what's happening at home. Farewell for now!" And with that said, he disappeared into the forest without another word.
Sūraja climbed onto the rocky edge, frustration etched onto her face and eyes slit from going into hunter mode. Clearly she was bothered that her sneak attack had been useless. "Oh! Whoever that hooligan is, I cannot wait to meet him again! How dare he look down on me like that! I will show him who the little one his! Amrag Ōk Arīras Ārēt!" A soft glow washed over the fayri as she fumed. Taking a calming breath, her face changed to one of worry. "Are you two alright?"
Alica and Petricia wasted no time putting on the rest of their clothes, both not wanting the boy to return while they weren't properly dressed that they didn't bother putting away their weapons. "How did you know he was here?" The blonde asked as she slid on her stockings.
Sūraja merely wrinkled her nose at the thought.

BeschreibungAround the central story of Nicholas Nickleby and the misfortunes of his family Dickens created some of his most wonderful characters: the muddle-headed Mrs. Nickleby, the gloriously theatrical Crummles, their protegee Miss Petowker, the pretentious Mantalinis, and the mindlessly cruel Squeers and his wife. Nicholas Nickleby's loose, haphazard progress harks back to the picaresque novels of the eighteenth century -- particularly those of Smollett and Fielding -- yet the novel's exuberant atmosphere of romance, adventure, and freedom is overshadowed by Dickens' awareness of social ills and financial and class insecurity. However, as Mark Ford writes in his Introduction to this new Penguin Classics edition, it is precisely these anxieties that "Nicholas Nickleby so often succeeds in transfiguring... into the wildest, most exhilarating forms of comedy."
PortraitCharles Dickens (1812-1870) started his career as a writer with the phenomenally successful Pickwick Papers (1836-7). NICHOLAS NICKLEBY appeared in 1838 and was swiftly followed by 'The Old Curiosity Shop' (1840-41). Dickens is considered as one of the greatest novelists in the English language. Mark Ford is currently lecturer at University College, London and writes regularly for the London Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement and the Guardian.

But when he wrote recently "we're losing," it seemed a surprising admission. He explains why, despite scientific consensus, much of the public remains unswayed. Music Playlist Sleepy Son Artist: by Sleepy Sun Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: George Monbiot is a columnist for the British newspaper The Guardian. He's studied the tactics of oil companies and others who have sought to cast doubt on the scientific consensus that we must reckon with the consequences of manmade climate change, and he's especially disheartened by recent polls, like those by the Pew Research Center and Rasmussen Reports, which finds a serious erosion of belief in global warming. To make matters worse, the polls came out even before the leaked emails emerged to further damage the environmentalists' best PR trump card, scientific consensus. Monbiot lamented in a recent column that the hearts and minds battle is being lost, and he says the only hope lies in brutal honesty. George, welcome back to the show. GEORGE MONBIOT: No, it's my pleasure. BROOKE GLADSTONE: You wrote a few months back, "There's no point in denying it. We're losing. Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease. It exists in a sphere where it cannot be researched by evidence or reasoned argument. Any attempt to draw attention to scientific findings is greeted with furious invective." Can you give me some of the research that backs up the claim that the trend of disbelief is growing? GEORGE MONBIOT: Yes, there've been a number of opinion polls showing a 20 percent fall in the number of people, just within two years, who believe that manmade global warming is taking place. And it's now down to 57 percent in the U.S. and in the U.K. down to about 41 percent. That shift has taken place, just as the evidence for manmade climate change has become so firm that it is as strong now as the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer or HIV causes AIDS. And it strikes me that what's going on is that as people are confronted with really the inescapable evidence for climate change, they go into denial in the same way as we might go into denial when we go to the doctor and he says, I'm sorry to tell you you've got cancer. BROOKE GLADSTONE: But George, you've gone even further. You postulate that this may be, in fact, generational. GEORGE MONBIOT: What these surveys all seem to show is the same thing, that it's among people over 60 who are most inclined to disbelieve that man-made climate change is taking place. Now, I think there could be a number of possible reasons for this but I wondered whether there might not be an element of the sort of denial of climate change being mixed up with the denial of mortality, which does appear to become more extreme as people become older. BROOKE GLADSTONE: You've done a great deal of research into the sorts of public relations campaign to counter the scientific consensus over climate change, in tobacco companies, in oil companies and in other interested parties, and you've seen how it works. Have you seen a way to combat it? GEORGE MONBIOT: Well, first off, that there are some people you're never going to reach. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Right. GEORGE MONBIOT: There are some people who, when the water is rising around their necks, will still say, it's all a scam, it's all an attempt to create a Communist world government - don't listen to what they're saying. For those you can reach, the undecided people stuck in the middle, I think there's a number of approaches, first, of course, to keep emphasizing what the science actually says, but maybe perhaps also to tell a story. It's the storytelling which reaches people most effectively. Perhaps the story that has to be told is one which says you have to decide who you are. You have to decide whether you are one of these people who wants to just stick your fingers in your ears and sing very loudly in order not to hear what's going on. Fine, that's your choice. If that's what you want to do, you go ahead, but you will be kind of left behind by events. Alternatively, you can be the person who wakes up to this before most people do and starts to mobilize the community response that we need, just as countries in the free world mobilized against great threats in the past, for instance, the rise of the Axis powers, and saw them off through sheer determination. We have to do the same today. So you can decide. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So now the Climate Change Conference is underway. We're speaking on Thursday. It has some days to go. How do you think it's going? GEORGE MONBIOT: It's not going to deliver. And, in fact, some people, like Jim Hansen, the senior scientist at NASA, are saying that it would be better if the whole thing collapses than if it goes ahead with a weak agreement. It's not a pretty picture at the moment. There's no point in pretending that it is. And, you know, if only people were pursuing some sort of Communist world government, they might do it rather more efficiently. [LAUGHS] [LAUGHTER] I mean, this is a stupid thing. You know, if they are organizing a vast conspiracy, for God's sake, just get on with it! BROOKE GLADSTONE: [LAUGHS] In one of your recent articles, you noted that, "The response of the greens and most of the scientists I know is profoundly ironic, as we spend much of our time confronting other people's denial. Pretending that this (meaning the emails) aren't a real crisis isn't going to make it go away." GEORGE MONBIOT: Well, they've attempted to minimize the importance of the emails while, of course, the other side, those who deny that climate change is taking place, have attempted to maximize the importance of the emails. And both responses are wrong. You know, the argument I keep making is that it's those of us who have relied and continue to rely on climate science who have the most to lose if that climate science and if the processes behind it aren't completely robust. And I don't approve of this pusillanimous, foot-dragging response by a lot of climate scientists and environmentalists who are saying, oh just forget it, it's no big deal. We have to ensure that the science cannot be criticized. BROOKE GLADSTONE: George Monbiot is a columnist for The Guardian newspaper in the U.K. and author of Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning. George, thank you very much. GEORGE MONBIOT: No, it's my pleasure. Thanks a lot then.

Lovers in the Moonlight
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
She walks in beauty, like the night...
They danced by the light of the moon
And the moon spun round like a top,
Pooling shadows onto the ground.

It wasn't quite the roaring comeback the U.S. Women's National Team wanted after a rough Algarve Cup last month, but the Americans coasted to victory Sunday in Denver using a newer formation over China, 2-0.
In their second time starting in a 4-3-3 under coach Tom Sermanni, the USWNT seemed to be their own worst enemy, failing to finish on a flurry of chances as China threatened very little for a friendly in front of 14,903 fans.
With 23 shots for the Americans – 12 of them on goal – Lauren Holiday and Megan Rapinoe found the breakthroughs as China only had one shot all game.
In the 39th minute, Sydney Leroux touched off a frantic sequence of deflections after charging Chinese goalkeeper Zhang Yue for the ball in a crowded box. The ball bounced to the feet of Holiday, who fired it from the top of the box past an out-of-position Yue for the lead.
Rapinoe scored the insurance goal in the 79th minute on an in-swinging free kick that took a bounce through traffic and slipped far post past a diving Yue.
Since Sermanni took over the USWNT in January 2013, Sunday marked their second time starting with a three-front of Leroux, Christen Press and Heather O'Reilly, usually only switching to the formation late in games for an offensive boost.
It seemed a bit unjust for Leroux to not get on the scoreboard herself after creating the bulk of the Americans' chances. She had a couple good long-range looks on goal inside the first 16 minutes, forcing saves, and she relentlessly kept Chinese defenses busy all game.
In their last three meetings against China, the U.S. had scored at least four goals, but a win in a less familiar formation without injured Alex Morgan should give the USWNT a confidence boost after the Algarve Cup last month. There, the USWNT snapped a 43-game unbeaten streak against Sweden and then conceded a record five goals in a single match against Denmark.
The USWNT will face China again on Thursday in San Diego, Calif.
Watch a replay of the full match below:
What did you think of the match? What did you think of the 4-3-3 formation? How will the USWNT do against China on Thursday?
Share your thoughts below.
Does anyone know if we will see a healthy Alex Morgan this year? MRI coming soon, I think…right?

the latest update is begining of june I think. Lord only knows what she did to herself. The explanation has never been good. She had some sort of "reaction" to sprained ankle. I'm startig to think we're in greg oden micro fracture territory.
Jack Del
Good game by the girls.
Press is a talent.
The Garrincha
Hey Jack Del, I like Press,
However she was a very week finisher this game and she fails to make that final pass for an easy goal, hopefully this should change?.

Um why did USSF just fire the coach?

Capitals Owner: I'm Just Happy We Made The Playoffs
Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis wrote in a blog post today that he was simply happy that the team made the playoffs.
"I will be frank – I was nervous at times that we wouldn't qualify for the playoffs; so I had no favorite in which team we would play – I was just hopeful we would be able to play at all and against any one," Leonsis wrote.
"It is a joy and an honor to be involved in playoff hockey. I respect the Bruins; their organization and they are the clear cut favorites – and they are the defending Stanley Cup champions."
The Capitals finished the season with a 42-32-8 record, good for 92 points which narrowly squeezed them ahead of the Buffalo Sabres to qualify for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. The team had previously finished with the best record in the conference in each of the past two seasons. Washington won a tiebreaker against the Ottawa Senators, who also finished the year with 92 points, to earn the seventh overall seed. The Capitals are just one of two teams in the NHL playoffs to have allowed more goals (230) than they have scored (222) this season.

SESSION TITLE: ICU Infections
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Slide
PRESENTED ON: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
PURPOSE: Pneumonia occurs in up to a third of trauma patients with multisystem injuries. Although risk factors for pneumonia have been explored in motor vehicle accident (MVA) victims, the effect of prolonged extrication is unknown.
METHODS: In this single-center study we retrospectively reviewed the charts of all adult trauma victims who had activation of the emergency department (ED) trauma protocol. Patients who had been treated at another facility prior to arrival in our ED were excluded from the study. Abstracted variables included demographics, comorbid illnesses, trauma-related factors, microbiology data, and outcome measures. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with the development of microbiologically-confirmed pneumonia.
RESULTS: The study cohort included 1,523 consecutive MVA trauma patients of whom 243 (15.9%) developed microbiologically-confirmed pneumonia. There were 457 deaths (30.0%). Although univariate analysis confirmed several previously described pneumonia risk factors (lower Glasgow Coma Score [GCS], higher injury severity score [ISS], administration of blood products, acute alcohol intoxication, field airway), others were not significantly associated with pneumonia (age, obesity, immunosuppression). Multivariate logistic regression modeling identified variables independently associated with pneumonia in MVA victims including: reduced GCS (RR 1.05, p<0.001); acute alcohol intoxication (RR 1.63, p=0.02); prolonged extrication (RR 1.02, p<0.001); placement of an artificial airway in the field (RR 2.11, p=0.008); and comorbid structural lung disease (RR 1.17, p=0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of pneumonia in MVA trauma patients appears to be primarily increased by conditions that predispose to aspiration prior to arrival in the ED. Each minute of extrication time increases the relative risk of developing pneumonia by ~2%.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: In order to improve clinical outcomes, additional studies are needed to delineate the mechanism(s) whereby prolonged extrication predisposes to pneumonia.

I do not own anything except I guess my Imaganiary Island i created!.
I have decided I really love this story! HOLY SHIT I UPDATED I HAVE EXAMS COMING UP AND SCHOOL IS KILLING ME ummmm yeah I"M SORRY LOVE IS TRULY BLIND UP VERY SOON!!!!
Waking up on a deserted Island with 7 celebrities is a change of pace I must say, Considering Emmett took up most of the hut, Edward squished next to me, trying to give me as much personal space as possible. It was like a never ending joke. Rosalie bitched of course, because she had to share. La de da. And Alice was stuck next to Jasper and of course, Jasper for some reason still doesn't like her.
Okay so I've fillled everyone in on my brain waves, here we go DAY 3, AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The sun blazed inside the hut, I went to go adjust the blinds, realizing then, this was not a nightmare, it was reality. It felt early, considering I didn't have a watch I couldn't be sure. I turned slightly, peering over at my survival mates. They were all still out cold. Edward bronze hair was smashed to his forehead. I'm pretty sure mine looked worse. I quietly sat up, rubbing the eye boogers from my eyes. Stretching my back out, my forehead was in pain.
"Urg." I grunted. I touched my forehead. It stung like a mofo! There was movement next to me. I felt bad considering I was the one making all the noise.
"Good morning." Edward whispered next to me. I looked over his emerald green eyes glisten in the sunlight, his bronze hair looked fabulous plastered to his forehead. He had total sex hair. "Fire?"
His question took me a minute after all the oogling I did. "Yes, Fire." I replied quietly and stealthly falling out of the hut onto the sandy beach.
Quiet laughter escaped the tent. "Shut up, Edward." I growled. Standing up storming away.
Sand swooshed behind me. "Bella, I'm sorry. It was just funny." I turned to look at him, his cordoroy suit jacket was covered in sand and his jeans were gross.
"It's fine, We need to change." He replied with the simple head shake.
"We should build a dressing room of sorts, so Rosalie won't complain." Edward rubbed the back of his head, adorabley!
"I agree If I have to hear her complain one more time I'm going to shoot myself." He chuckled quietly.
"You and Me both, now about that fire." We quickly gathered sticks, and dry leaves anything to make a fire possible. I felt like I was back in kindergarten scowering the land for cool fasinating things though that wou;d never happen.
It started the fire making process of course the survival pack had no matches or flint if it did this would have made all this bull shit less difficult.
"Here let me." Edward's hand quietly took over making the fire I put more wet/dry things in there considering the rain we got a couple days ago we had to make a fire it would help signal planes and such. He twisted the stick fast makeing the smoke start I could say it was quite a show to watch the amazing Edward Masen making a fire for our camp. I quietly blew on the smoke ember arose from the tree limp from whch Edward was making the smoke.
"Just a little more." I whispered Edward's pace quickened.
Flames shot frrom the dead wood. I started throwing things in to keep the fire going.
"Amazing job, boy scout." I giggled. Edward's head shook back and forth he looked almost in pain. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He smiled standing up ripping off the courderoy jacket. The gray shirt he was wearing fit him snuggly showing off his very toned body. I swear drool was coming out of my mouth. "Are we going to build the changing room?"
"We need to add more to the fire, before we start building anything." He of course agreed and started adding more wood and dead rubbish from the ground. His arm muscles woulf flex everytime he grabbed at something. He wasn't as big as Emmett but he sure as hell was gorgeus. Sooner than later the fire was blzing and The changing room was built, the rest of the crash victims aka pains in my ass were snoozing. "Would you like to change first?"
"Nope ladies first." He smiled extending a hand into the dressing room. My duffel bag slung over my shoulder I entered. I ripped my nasty pilots uniform, and flung it into the bag. God knows I wouldn't need it for awhile. And threw on the jean shorts, blue tank top and sandals that I had packed I mean I was ready for the 3 weel trip to Austraillia and they say pilots don't have fun. I threw the pilot's cap back onto my head and felt better. The clean and new refreshed me was so much better than Pilot Bella. I exited the waiting area finding Edward rummaging through his suit case, everything in there was Summery and perfect for the beach.
"Hey." He jumped starlted at my presence. Once he realized I was there he stared at me. "Is there something on me?"
I spun around, freaking. Thinking I was going to find a snake or something hanging from somewhere. "No your good, sorry, just didn't hear you." He smiled grabbing his clothes and heading off to the changing room.
Once he came back in his other gray t-shirt and Jean shorts. We figured it was time to wake the others.
"Good Morning, My friends." They all groaned even Carlisle who looks like the one who would wake up early.
"Bella, go away." Alice muttered running her hand through her spikey black hair.
"Nope." They all ending up sitting up and glaring at me. Edward was laughing. "And why is this so funny?"
"The glares." Thats when the glares all turned to him. He still continued his giggling. What a great day this is going to be.
