HLA is beginning its seventh year of operation! For many years, I dreamed of starting this school: a school that is rigorous and nurturing; a school that is diverse; a school that incorporates service learning from the earliest grades. Now, the Hebrew Language Academy Charter School is all of those things: we are the most diverse charter school in New York City and more than 95% of our first-year students returned this year to engage in the challenging and supportive curriculum.
At the heart of our school is the teaching of Hebrew. There are many dual language programs in New York City public schools, where throughout the day, in different areas of study, students are immersed in Greek, Latin, Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic, to name but a few languages. HLA now adds Hebrew to that impressive list. Many of the founding fathers of our country knew Hebrew. Hebrew was studied by the greatest enlightenment thinkers. It is yet another language spoken in our great city. It is a classical language, steeped with culture and history throughout the world, it is also a modern, spoken language, as well as a language associated with cutting-edge technology.
While HLA is the first public school in New York City to offer Hebrew in this dual-language setting, it is by no means the first public school in the city to offer Hebrew instruction. In the 1940s and 1950s, Hebrew was taught in approximately 40 high schools in New York City. In the 1970s and 1980s, Hebrew was taught in roughly 20 public schools across the city. More than 150,000 students have studied Hebrew in New York City public schools.
It is important to me that the elementary school graduates of HLA speak Hebrew with a level of proficiency that prepares them for life-long language learning. I still can't understand why so many schools begin language instruction in middle school, when it is increasingly clear that the window for language acquisition is in the elementary, if not nursery years.
For nearly five years, I wrote a weekly column in the New York Sun about the joys of raising children in New York City. I spent a great deal of time considering the myriad of ways being raised in New York City is an education in itself. The mere existence of more than 100 charter schools, located in almost every district of the city, speaks volumes about the city's commitment to offering its parents school choice. I feel so proud to be a part of this system.
As a journalist, as well as a parent of five children, I also spend time thinking about what really matters when it comes to our children's education. Is it the curriculum? The facilities? The friends? The principal? The teachers? The books? The homework? The dress code? The athletics? The answer is probably all of the above, but I am most proud of HLA's administration and teaching staff. They are extraordinary, and I am confident that they will create a rigorous and nurturing environment for all of our students.
I am committed to making sure HLA is a school characterized first and foremost by academic excellence. I look forward to being one of many partners in this process. And I am looking forward to another successful year!

I don't know where it comes from, but if you add one more set of curly braces
to the Prolog option setting to isolate it from the other graphics directives
it will go away. Apparently, Mma joins the Prolog and Epilog settings to
the beginning and end of the main list of primitives, and then maps the

Juventus have made a move for highly rated Udinese defender and Liverpool FC target Pablo Armero, according to talkSPORT.
The Italian press have reported that Juventus have made the first step in claiming Armero, by tabling an €8 million bid. However, it is thought that Udinese will hold firm for their €10 million valuation of the Columbian international.
It was thought that Brendan Rodgers was keen to bring in defensive options in January, after a less than impressive start to the Premier League season. Juventus' swift movements will mean that the new man at Anfield will have to act quickly or risk losing his top transfer target.
Armero started his career with Columbian side Deportivo Cali before moving to Palmeiras in 2009. Impressive performances for the Brazilian side ignited interest from Italy and while a move to Parma collapsed at the last minute, in August 2010, Udinese claimed the defender.
At just 26, Armero already has 30 caps for Columbia. His position for his club tends to be at left wing back as Udinese play with an effective 3-5-2 formation. However, the South American plays left back for his country and started at centre back for Palmeiras so is versatile along the back line.
No comments have been made by the player himself but it is thought that now Italian giants Juventus have made their interest known, that will be Armero's likely destination in January.

The Temptation of the Impossible:
"Part literary criticism, part biography, and part personal essay, The Temptation of the Impossible is the author's perceptive tribute to Hugo's Les Misérables. For Vargas Llosa ... Hugo's marvelous novel is a brilliant portrayal of 'a world blazing with extreme misfortune, love, courage, happiness, and vile deeds.'... Some literary critics may disagree with his provocative claims regarding the role of fiction in readers' lives, but Vargas Llosa argues so passionately that even dissenting critics will admire his zealous and meticulous reasoning.... For any student of world literature who is interested in an important and hugely readable, one-stop critical analysis of Hugo's canonical novel, Vargas Llosa's book is the perfect destination."--Tim Davis, ForeWord
"Vargas Llosa is ideally placed to lead a reconsideration of Victor Hugo.... [He] examines the providential vein in Les Misérables that runs through both individual destinies and the life of nations."--Algis Valiunas, First Things
"Mario Vargas Llosa, acclaimed novelist, critic and one-time conservative politician, has, in Hugo's epic, found the perfect vehicle for a study that is a combination of literary criticism, general essay and philosophical speculation. He dissects Hugo's style, emphasizing not just his larger-than-life characters, but, more importantly, his narrator--the biggest and most dangerous 'character' in the book of dangerous characters. What makes Hugo's book dangerous is that it just might stir the reader to pursue the ideals of a better world. Llosa, with an eloquent ease that has to be admired, relates this danger to the novel form itself, and how societies--especially repressive regimes of military, religious, left or right persuasion--have distrusted the novel."--Steve Carroll, The Age
"When one distinguished author critiques the masterpiece of another, the result is not always exceptional. But in this case, it is. In this expanded version of lectures he delivered at Oxford in 2004, Vargas Llosa offers both probing insights into the characters, themes, and ultimate significance of Les Misérables and powerful lessons on the art of fiction writing."--C.B. Kerr, Choice
"Vargas Llosa's book is a significant addition to the criticism of Les Misérables and of Hugo as a novelist. Vargas Llosa makes Hugo accessible to the reader as an author who was not fettered by the time period in which he wrote. He also presents valuable insights into the genre of fiction and what 'reality' means in a fictional work. Since Vargas Llosa is himself a highly respected novelist, his book has been particularly welcomed by critics in the field."--Shawncey Webb, Magill's Literary Annual
"It is always interesting when a writer of Vargas Llosa's distinction discusses a great novelist, bringing to bear a luminous awareness of the craft of fiction. The Temptation of the Impossible is written with considerable zest, discrimination, and enthusiasm. Raising practical and theoretical points about the art of the novel, Vargas Llosa never loses sight of Hugo's specific achievement. I recommend this book without hesitation."--Victor Brombert, author of Trains of Thought

Kahr PM9 9mm sub-compact: Range Report #1
This is intended to be an ongoing history of working my new Kahr PM9 9mm sub-compact pistol at the range. I will track the number of shots, jams/failures, goal while at the range, general comments on ergonomics and performance, and cleanings ... over the life of the pistol, from new. Each range session, I will come back and post further comments as to performance, what I'm trying to achieve at the range sessions, how the gun's parts are holding up, how recent gunsmithing changes are working, and so on.
Hopefully, someone will find this useful, either when considering purchase of a PM9 or as a reference for reliability.
Gun -- Kahr PM9 9mm sub-compact polymer pistol, with 7rd "extended" magazines and factory tritium night sights.
Purpose -- Evaluating for possible daily concealed carry, at this time.
July 20, 2006 -- First range session, after purchase.
Rounds -- 150 shots, varying between FMJ range rounds, 100 JHP and 100 JHP +P.
- Goal -- Begin the break-in process on this gun, to evaluate for possible use as a go-everywhere concealed carry weapon.
- Initial Field Strip and Cleaning -- Disassembled prior to range session and fully cleaned the gun. With an oiled patch, cleaned the barrel, rails, guide rod, magazine well, all magazines and followers. Wiped down all surfaces with a dry cloth. Re-oiled all friction surfaces with a lightly-oiled patch. Cycled slide 10x.
- Problem During Field Strip -- Interestingly, the slide failed to come off, after I took, out the slide stop, flicked the trigger and attempted to remove it. For about a full minute, nothing I could do would make the slide either come off the frame's rails or cycle back along the rails. It was jammed within about a half-inch range of movement. Finally got it to move. Looking at the rails on the frame, small areas of chewed plastic appeared both at the fore/aft edges of "holes" along the rails, as well as on the "corners" of the rails. The problem isn't in the "well" of the rails, where the slide's rail runs. It's more of the extraneous areas on the plastic, perhaps flashing and not the exact rail surface. Unknown if this is normal, as this is my first polymer pistol. Unknown if this is actually causing any problems. Just noting the symptoms I am finding, both visually and functionally. Tried reinstalling and removing the slide a handful of times, each with the same result: stuck slide for a brief period. Strange. Disheartening, as this is the first pistol in 15yrs of shooting that has ever done this, across dozens of guns I've disassembled.
- Feel -- This is a small gun. A bit wide, similar to a small Glock, but shorter and with a very slim/short grip and frame. Feels far smaller than a Colt Officer's 1911. It's amazingly light in the hand, about the weight of a S&W 442 Airweight revolver. Points very well, though point of aim appears to be a bit high and to the left of where it should be (by a small degree).
- Grip -- Slim and short. Definitely shorter (less height) than a Colt Officer's 1911 frame. I have reasonably wide hands, such that smaller frames are generally a problem. With the right pistol, I'm prepared to give up this, so long as control is still maintained and concealability is served. The slim nature is wonderful, for concealment. It reminds me of the ultra-slim Browning BDM, which is amazingly flat for a double-stack setup. This PM9 is ultra-slim in a single-stack format. Very flat. Very concealable. Short such that only two fingers can get a good purchase with the stock 6rd magazine, though the 7rd "extension" magazine affords plenty of grip area. Checkering/lines on the frame afford good purchase, yet don't bite hard into the hand even across 250 rds.
- Magazine Eject Button -- Very much out of the way, even though I'm shooting left-handed. Easy to manipulate. No sharp edges on this button.
- Ergonomics – Fairly nice. A bit too thin to make it feel natural. A bit too short to be a good plinking gun. But it points naturally and otherwise feels good in the hand. The slide is a good half of the overall weight of the gun, so it definitely feels top heavy. Strange feeling, but easily overcome. To me, Kahrs are typically extremely sharp-edged. This PM9 isn't bad. They've done about a "half-melt" process on the gun, to eliminate the worst of this. Will be fine for concealed carry. The sharpest edges are on the tritium night sights. The slide stop pin/lever seems to have been skipped during any "melt" procedure, though perhaps that's by design, as it is not a problem.
- Shots -- 50rds Remington/UMC FMJ, 100rds Remington JHP, 100rds Federal/Tactical JHP +P. Mostly, I shot 7+1 using the 7rd magazine. That is, cycled one round into the chamber and then topped off the magazine, then I let 'er rip.
- Usage –- 22 magazines of 7+1. A couple of mags done in ~5% low-light conditions.
- Aim -- (Left-handed shooter, BTW.) Did not focus on considering the point-of-aim, as this range session was about the break-in process. The POA appears to be a bit off, sighting a bit high and to the left. Further testing will consider this.
- Ejection – Fairly consistent, sharp ejects. Brass ejected hard and behind me, slightly to the right.
- Slide Action -- Stiff slide, when racking the slide manually. Should loosen up as several hundred rounds are put through it.
- Jams/failures -- Three failures to feed (FTF). No failures to eject (FTE). In each case of FTF, racking the slide resolved the problem and the slide went into battery with a round in the chamber. Likely, these failures are a combination of (a) the stiff springs, (b) a barrel ramp that needs polishing and possibly (c) the slide/rame rail failure to rack/disassemble (though this last element is a guess).
- Holstering -- No holster, at this point. In anticipation of keeping this as my primary backup gun, I have a pocket holster being made by K&D. Will review this at a future time.
- Cleaning at Range -- Given the slide racking/disassembly problems noted above, I did stop a couple of times to do a simple field strip and lube during the range session. Same slide problem. Gouges in the plastic on the frame's rails continued to grow in side and degree of "chewing" that was evident.
Overall, so far this is a mixed bag. It feels reasonably good in the hand, though the ultra-slim nature takes a hundred rounds to get used to. It's a compromise, but one that can be easily handled. It shoots very, very well, with natural pointing and good accuracy. Reliable performance. Three FTF's are normal, given a brand new pistol and being early on in the break-in process. Will monitor this element, though I anticipate this will go away over time. All controls are easily manipulated.

Jewish Congress offers FA, UEFA help to fight anti-Semitism
By Mike Collett
LONDON (Reuters) - The European Jewish Congress (EJC) offered on Tuesday to help European soccer's governing body UEFA and the English FA to fight anti-Semitism in the sport following Nicolas Anelka's "quenelle" salute.
It has also called on the soccer authorities to ban Anelka, 34, who is being investigated by the English FA, for the gesture.
The former France striker celebrated the first of the two goals he scored in West Bromwich Albion's 3-3 draw at West Ham United on Saturday by making the gesture, made famous by the French comedian Dieudonne, which is linked to anti-Semitism.
The 34-year-old Anelka promised his club on Monday he would not repeat it in future.
But EJC president Doctor Moshe Kantor has written to both Michel Platini, the UEFA president, and Greg Dyke, the chairman of the English FA, saying what Anelka did means there can be no let-up in the fight to keep anti-Semitism out of soccer.
"We offer the co-operation of the European Jewish Congress and are ready to discuss practical ideas and suggestions for combating anti-Semitism and racism in football," said Kantor, who called for Anelka to be banned.
"There is an urgent need for action to confront this phenomenon as it relates to football and we stand ready to assist you in combating this intolerable hate.
"At the European Jewish Congress, we regularly receive reports of attacks on Jews, whether verbal or physical, which also include acts of anti-Semitism at matches involving English and European football clubs," he added. Continued...

Sorry if this has been beat to death already. :boese51:
Definitely test one out, but none of the new changes appealed to me. I bought a Glock 19 with RTF2 and am very happy with it.
Matter of fact, no. Maybe I'm not in the loop like I think I am, but just for the sake of conversation.......think of the 4th generation Glocks as the full size versions only for a bit. Personally, if your hot on a new Glock, I'd actually try and find one of the RTF versions. It may be worth something in the near future. There may not be many of them left. Reasons not to wait for a 4th generation G19? Is there going to be a 4th gen G19?Quote:
Glock 19 Gen 4 - any retail sightings?
Thanks. I'll google Glock RTF.
Guns America has one NIB for $425 plus $25 for shipping.
I see the advantage of the RTF, I remember discussing it at one point in a shop now that my memory is jogged. Anything to help with slide dexterity for me would be a bonus.
So $450 plus a FFL fee then add night sights. That seems like a pretty good deal. Please disagree if you think so.
Nothing wrong with the GLOCK 19 3rd generation or 2nd or 1st. RTF might be nice, have not fired one with that grip yet...
the glock "standard" GEN3 is the RTF:
the glock GEN3 RTF2 is this:
the glock GEN4 is the RTF3:
I have handled a Gen 4 G22 but not in the compact versions as it wasn't available. What I handled was an LEO model but it's the same gun. I didn't like the texture much. I can't describe why but it didn't feel good in my hand, I have no issues with the standard Gen 3 grip texture so that's what I prefer. I don't know, maybe it's me but I don't think they should have messed with things on the gun that were fine before.
Yes, thank you from me too.
I went and handled the G3 and G4 in a 40 cal comparable to the Glock 19. The Cabela's guys said that the G4 G19 was probably coming out in about a month.
For me, the new slide release is MUCH more ergonomic due to my smallish thumb length. Quicker and easier than the smaller one on the G3. So, for that reason alone I will go for the Gen4 G19 whenever it comes out.
Now, if they have the RTF2 type of slide patterning with a new G19 Gen 4 that would be perfect. :santaclaus:
you can get the GEN3 RTF2's with the straight slide serrations now, glock's fazing out the curved ones. i like the curved one's better because they're deeper, and easier to grip (i only slingshot the slide)
the new GEN3 RTF2's:

Historic Franklin buildings to get makeover
Buildings in downtown Franklin that were constructed in the 1900s will get a facelift that will help make them look more like they did originally.
Owners of eight buildings are sharing $450,000 from a state grant and city agency to replace awnings, fix cracked bricks and redo storefronts.
Lighthouse Antique Mall co-owner John Emry tells the Daily Journal he hopes the work makes the buildings look more historic.
The antique mall will get new siding as part of the work. The project also includes a renovated marquee at the Artcraft Theatre and a new overhang for an insurance company.
Each business will pay 5 percent of the cost.

6 Ways to Mix it up This March
Written by: Violet Myers
It's seems like only yesterday we were contemplating calling an exorcist for our epic New Year's Eve hangover and making unrealistic plans to become better people. Now, while we weren't even looking, January has turned into March. We're three months into 2016 and you've managed to resist all urges to leave the city, grow out your leg hair and start an organic bakery with a cutesy name like 'Crumbs', 'Tart of Darkness' or something equally sickening. This calls for a celebration! Just for being so good, here's 6 events not to miss in North London this March, keep up the good work.
1) Drive in Cinema, Alexander Palace
10th – 31st March
Pledge your allegiance and go all Americana with an event ripped right out of Graceland, It's drive in night at Alexander Palace. Warm up the Chevy and grab your best gal for a night of junk food, roller skating waiters and a whole host of movie classics including; Grease, Mad Max and The Big Lebowski.
2) Bingo, The Breakfast Club Angel
Every second Tuesday of the month
Unleash your inner gran and play a game of bingo alongside your waffles. It's a fiver to enter and it's happy hour all night so make good use of that pension!
3) Chocolate Festival, Islington Business Design Centre
25-27th of March
Glastonbury became officially irrelevant last month when it chose Coldplay as its 2016 main act for the 4th time. Drown your sorrows at a festival that is in no danger of being disappointing…We hear nougat, caramel and diabetes are headlining *screams hysterically and throws knickers before fainting*.
4) Spank, Proud Camden
Every first Friday of the month
Presenting Proud's most risqué show to date, Spank promises to shock with its newest experimental burlesque dinner show. Not for the faint hearted, Spank includes a three course menu, daring fetish show, entry to Proud's club and err… a state of the art sex swing.
5) London Shell Co. Pop-up Supper Club, docked in Camden
5th & 6th and 18th & 19th of March
North London siblings Leah and Harry present a restaurant pop-up with a difference and probably make their parents very proud. All aboard the 'My Fair Lady' for a moving supper club up Regent's Canal, while scoffing a host of culinary fishy delights inspired by the crab shacks of New England.
6) Ru Paul's Battle of the Seasons, O2 Forum Kentish Town
25th of March
Stop pretending you don't care about celebrity drag queens and get excited for the extravaganza! Featuring fan favourites: Pandora Boxx, Jinx Monsoon, Sharon Needles, Courtney Act, Katya, Violet Chachki, Willam Belli and special guest judge Michelle Visage. Yes Gawd!
Market Road Gallery: Just Add Yourself
Spirited away from the hubbub of the city, sitting on the bustling boundaries of Islington and Camden, a 65 metre wide gallery resides hidden behind the Attic Self Storage building in Kings Cross. Market Road Gallery is a newly opened space for everyone to contribute to. It is London's first bookable open air public gallery. Everyone, from the neighbourhood cat to a fancy pants established artiste, can create artwork for the space.
Top Four Ways to Survive the London Heatwave, Solstice Style
Today Britain will relish (moan) in 16 hours and 38 minutes of daylight, with the sun rising at 4:43am and setting at 9:31pm. It's set to be a record breaking 33 degrees in London. I for one am going to need all the help I can get not to disappear like the wicked witch of the West into a sticky puddle on Stroud Green Road. Here's our Solstice-worshipping, Pagan inspired tips for surviving the hottest and longest day of the year in London.
Celebrate Summer with Drum n Bounce at VeloPark
It's time. Time to bask (complain) in the sun and ask why god why when will it end?? Yes, Summer is officially here for the week, the hottest week in the last 20 years. This Friday, Drum n Bounce are coming all the way down South to help us celebrate this fact, as healthily as possible. Right in the middle section of VeloPark (link) you can take part in uplifting and limbering flow yoga with Tammy's Yoga before 45 minutes of energising drum n bounce aerobics. This is basically getting hot and fit and dancey to your favourite tracks before you head off in to the night (or bed) with a massive sweaty smile on your mug.
"It's Not a Party" Black Books Pub Quiz
Next Friday night, ignore your mounting list of life admin and venture outwards into the ether for a misanthropic wine a plenty. It's the Black Books pub quiz at The Duke of Wellington as part of their couch potato themed quiz series. Entry is a meagre £2 but you can win some cold hard real cash if you're up on your Dylan Moran / Tamsin Greig / Bill Bailey shaped references.
Holy Crap! Who Are The Heather Brothers?
Who are the Heather Brothers? It's a question that's been keeping me up at night. Ever since I was asked to review their latest musical, Holy Crap, I've been trapped in something of a Google wormhole. To begin at the beginning: the Heather Brothers are, depending on who you ask, a musical writing duo/trio/quartet. Born in London, they grew up in Zimbabwe, where they spent their teenage years performing in a fraternal rock band. Again, depending on who you ask, they were variously known as: The Chequers, The Three People or Quiet World.
Film Screenings for World Refugee Day, Crouch End
"Arriving back in the UK, after a long time away, there seemed to have been a swing towards xenophobia and the dehumanizing and vilify of both migrants and refugees was happening at the highest levels. I wanted to create a short that would address this trend." Director Daniel Mulloy
The Emotional Lives of Cucumbers: World Cucumber Day
The gin enthusiasts down at Hendricks have decided to take these cucumber celebrations a slice further with their Cultivate the Unusual campaign. Encouraging gin fans to grow their own cucumbers over the last few months in preparation, Hendricks are asking us to bring said veggies to participating pubs and bars this Thursday 15th June. The Canonbury Tavern for example, will light up if you walk in with a cucumber and will proceed to exchange it for a free gin and tonic. Can you imagine?
The Art of Run DMC at Hang Up Gallery, Stoke Newington
Hang Up Gallery have some pretty hush hush news. And it goes a little something like this: Darryl 'Run' DMC McDaniels will be popping up in the Stoke Newington gallery this month to launch his new collection of works, The Art of DMC. This is the icon's first London exhibition, showing new and unseen collection of 'Darryl Makes Comics (DMC)' Fine Art, a body of signed limited edition prints showcasing his underlying passion for comics.
Summer of Love Local by #ShopStroudGreen

Celebrate artistic expression and support local independent traders and makers with a weekend of live art, workshops and music (with a few special discounts, tasters and freebies for good measure).
Oh Snap! Top Five Free Election Night Covfefe
Oh snap! Another general election looms. Whether you're hopeful for a landslide win or a surprising wild card outcome, wipe the bitter disappointment from your tastebuds with some gins, ales, burgers and strong covfefe. Because let's face, it will be neither of those results will it really? Find the perfect place for you to receive the bad news in good company.
London, A Bigger Picture: Film Screening with Live Music
Get a different perspective on the city you live in this June. Film London are holding a screening of archive footage of London's outer boroughs through the decades, underscored by live music accompaniment. The best of London's Screen Archives hugely successful project, London: A Bigger Picture will be shown, funded by Heritage Lottery three years ago.
Off The Record: Snowy the Harringay Station Cat
We caught up with Snowy the Harringay Station cat to talk Twitter, working life and his unsavoury friendship with Gus the fox. Summer is coming and, in North London, that means it's time to hit the train stations. So we took Snow the Haringey Station Cat and photographer Mike Barry tumbling across one of them: the undergrowth of Haringey Station. Then we sat down with Snowy for a raw conversation about how to move forward after things fall apart.
Choppin' for Chazza at Rocket Barber Shop, Stokey
"You grow it, we mow it" might be their blasé catchphrase, but Rocket's attitude to your haircut is far from casual. These guys are serious about hair and the person that grew it. Rocket Stoke Newington are holding a day of free beer and entertainment with your cut in aid of Men's Mental Health Sunday this 12th June. Also known as "Chopping for Chazza", there'll be talks on mental health, stand up comedy and more from 12 - 5pm.
Find The Perfect Volunteering Vacancy, Islington
Unless you're already working for charity or regularly 'do your bit', that £6 monthly donation to The Dogs Trust might not be doing enough to quash your conscience / save the world. Whether you're doing it for experience, to reset your karmic balance or generally give back and help out, there'll be a role out there for you. On the Volunteer Centre Camden's website for example, there's a handy search page that lets you filter through hundreds of opportunities by location, interest and activity.
Finding Humour in Dark Times: Performance Artist Tom Marshman
Currently showing at Camden People's Theatre, performance artist Tom Marshman's play Kings Cross (Remix) is a glorious celebration of a bygone era. The show is a tightly crafted journey through the stories of some of the people who made up the 1980s Kings Cross LGBTQ scene. Bursting with warmth, charm and affection, the play is a must see for anyone interested in learning more about London's alternative history.
'Strong and Stable My Arse' is all of us
The Londoner behind 'Strong and Stable My Arse'. It's a simple message. A slogan that's straight to the point. 'Strong and Stable My Arse' is a statement everyone can understand with a wry grin as they spot it slathered onto billboards, phone boxes and brick walls around the UK. So who could possibly be behind such a simple, cheeky, dig in the ribs campaign? Someone who knows his audience, who knows the mindset of the British like the back of his left hand.

DVD Brick [DVD] [2006] [1 disc] [Multilingual] [Region 1]
Not Yet Rated
3 stars out of 4 -- "Johnson plunges off the deep end, risking ridicule by shaping this spellbinder with grit and gravitas....Johnson's BRICK is the stuff that dreams are made of."
Rolling Stone
"This high school film noir deserves credit for novelty. Writer-director Rian Johnson also has a rare gift for language."
Movieline's Hollywood Life
"BRICK is all about style and sass....But Johnson also grabs hold a fundamental truth and seduces us with it: the schoolyard can be the noirest burg of all." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
"Johnson pulls his hipster revisionism with cine-savvy brilliance and twitchy laughs....Bursts of action arrive with a wallop..."
Total Film
"BRICK takes two very disparate genres, film noir detective mysteries and high school dramas, and melds them into one intriguing premise, with original dialogue and a distinctive visual style."
USA Today
"What it borrows from noir is not simply a set of style cues, but a sense of obsessiveness, solemnity and encroaching social breakdown, which serves as a satisfying metaphor for the self-enclosed, self-regulating society occupied by teenagers."
Sight and Sound
"While BRICK is chock-full of the characters, language and imager of classic noir, it is in fact set among contemporary teenagers."
Box Office
4 stars out of 4 -- "The most eccentric feature to emerge from the US indie scene in years....One of the pleasures of 2006."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Johnson creates a complex, sophisticated thriller that audaciously fuses two disparate genres....Gordon-Levitt delivers an intense and focused performance."

As if the defending World Series Champs needed any help in their run to return to October action. They are already six games up in the NL East, and their offense is far-and-away the most powerful in all of baseball. Add solid pitching to the menu, you have legitimate contender for a repeat.
On Wednesday, the Phillies made a move for that extra pitching by picking up last years Cy Young award winner, Cliff Lee from the Cleveland Indians. Lee, along with Ben Francisco headed to Philadelphia for prospects Jason Knapp, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald and Lou Marson.
Lee was sad to go, but relished the opportunity to win. "Obviously, I'm going to miss all these guys here," said Lee. "But it's an opportunity for me to help a team that's in first place and is the defending world champion. As far as that goes, I'm excited."
Francisco agreed. "I'm surprised," he said. "I woke up this morning not even thinking about it. I got to the field and obviously heard everything. It's definitely a shock, but I'm excited to go to a team that is the defending champion."
The Phillies are good, and they just got better. Grab some Phillies tickets, and see for yourself.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on its website that Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2008-2011 model year Sprinter vans for a passenger compartment seatbelt issue. The recall, which is only valid for Sprinter vans with a second row bench seat, concerns seat belts that might not lock as required. Additionally, NHTSA adds that "the assembly loop may not perform to minimum force requirements."
Seatbelt recalls are always serious considering that they are typically the first, best line of defense in the event of an accident. In such cases, passengers with defective belts may not be properly fastened, which could lead to increased risk of injury or death.
Since Mercedes-Benz took over responsibility for the sales and service of all Sprinter Vans (including Dodge-branded models) back in 2009, owners of affected vehicles will need to take their vans to the nearest Mercedes retail outlet for repairs. The dealers will inspect and replace any seat belt assemblies that don't meet requirements. Hit the jump to read over the NHTSA press release.
