Doors Retain Water?
It seems after rain or washing my 2012 Summit and the truck appears dry, when I open the doors, a half cup of water drips out of the bottom door seals. This water can be retained for days until I open the doors! I'm concerned about premature rust issues.
Has anyone else noticed this on their WK2?
Yes. I see it too after I wash the car. I haven't seen it "gush" as much, if at all when it rains.
Re: Doors Retain Water?
I posted this a few days ago. I was surprised at just how much water normally enters the inside of the door:
Re: Doors Retain Water?
amrunner4- Thanks for the insight! Is water inside the doors suppose to drain out the weep holes when the door is closed? Mine don't seem to drain until you open the door. I've also noticed the driver's side passenger door retains the most water. I live in the Chicago area and the roads are heavily salted in the Winter months. Did you notice any rust protection inside of the doors?
Re: Doors Retain Water?
Water certainly should drain out right away. Wouldn't hurt just to stick something into the weep holes and make sure they are open. If you are adventurous, pull the trim panel off your door and remove the speaker. Then you can peer inside the door as well as stick you hand down in the door and feel the very bottom just to see how much water may be accumulating.
Just the inertia effects of accelerating and decelerating while driving should be enough to force water at the bottom of the inside of the door to drain out either the front or back weep hole.
Re: Doors Retain Water?
Just saw your question about rust inside. My vehicle is brand new, so no feedback from me on that question. The comment about salt in the winter is an interesting idea. Conceivably, you could get a plug of dried salt in one or both of your weep holes.
I would suggest starting by testing the drainage by just pouring 8-12oz of water along the outside bottom of the window of the affected door while the door is open. You should see water come out of one or both weep holes right away. If not, try to probe the weep holes with something to see if it dislodges a plg and try the water again. If it still doesn't seem to drain right away, pull the door trim panel and speaker and feel inside for any obvious obstruction. Maybe purposely pour some warmer water in to try to dissolve something that might be plugging. With the door panel off and the speaker out, you can always reach in with a small towel to mop up whatever might be left.
Good luck and report back to help out others here.
Re: Doors Retain Water?
Some of the weep holes have a clear plastic over them, you may want to remove the clear plastic tape so the the water flows more freely.
Re: Doors Retain Water?
Excellent information! I will try water flushing and weep hole clearing when I get home tonight.

Ellerbe, hailing from Wadesboro, N.C., played in all 13 games in 2013 on defense and special teams. The 6-foot, 220-pounder finished the season with 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a blocked kick PAT at Virginia Tech. Ellerbe started two games last fall, but turned in his best performance in the 39-17 Belk Bowl victory over Cincinnati. In that win, the junior tallied five tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Knox, a Concord, N.C. native, enrolled at UNC in January 2012 and red-shirted the following fall. He was listed fourth on the depth chart at tight end in 2013.

Think of the exhaust side of the VGT as a variable pitch fan. When more boost is required, the pitch of the vanes is changed so that the exhaust wheel is pushed harder by the escaping exhaust gas. When little or no boost is required, the vanes close up so the exhaust doesn't push the wheel as hard.

The vains are the key element. The PCM uses a stratagy to caluclate the backpressure (which equates to potential driver pressure) in the Y pipes (pre turbo. It then adjusts the vains to controll that pressure. The more pressure in the "pre turbo" pipes, the faster the exhast side turbine spins....which means more boost. The vaines open up to lower the backpressure (lower boost) and close down to raise the backpressure (more boost)

Middleweight fighter Chael Sonnen wants a political job.
Sonnen, a Republican, officially unveiled his candidacy for Oregon's state legislative District 37. The primary election is scheduled for May. Sonnen said party officials asked him to fill the seat being vacated by incumbent Scott Brunn, a Republican who plans to run for Congress this year.
Matt Lindland, a stablemate of Sonnen's at Team Quest, unsuccessfully ran for state representative in 2008. Campaign ads for Lindland's Democratic opponent, Suzanne VanOrman, dismissed his fighting career as irrelevant compared to her experience raising two children by herself and running an educational program.
Sonnen told MMA Weekly that he won't draw attention to his mixed martial arts experience:
"I don't go out and brag about being a meathead that gets in a cage and beats people up that he has no problem with.
"I hide from the fact. When it comes up I have to address it, but I focus a lot more on running business, college and education, and things like that."
Nate Marquardt is scheduled to fight Sonnen at UFC 109 on Saturday (10 p.m. ET, pay-per-view). Marquardt on Thursday described Sonnen as a skilled talker who will make a good politician.
The winner of Sonnen-Marquardt will get a shot at the 185-pound title, UFC President Dana White said Thursday.

I'm done.
I'm done trying to be perfect. I'm done striving to live up to other people's expectations. I'm done banging my head against the proverbial wall that is my parents inability to love me for who I am. I'm done worrying about what others think. I'm done paying attention to stupid fucking anonymous people who are under the impression that they know me. I'm done being afraid of myself. I'm done being in denial. I'm done hiding. I'm done keeping secrets. I'm done acting like nothing is wrong when everything is wrong. I'm done pretending that I have no feelings.
I'm done being so terrified that I'll disappoint someone that I end up pushing away the one person who makes me feel like I'm actually worth something.
I'm just fucking done.
This means exactly what you think it means, and if you're reading this, I want you to know that I was never ashamed of you. That's what you thought, wasn't it? That I was ashamed? I wasn't. I'm not. I'm just weak, but I'm trying to be stronger, because I know that you need someone stronger. I wanted you to carry me, but asking you to do that was wrong. I was wrong, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of the pain that I've caused you, and I'm sorry for not keeping you safe like I should have, like I wished I could, still wish that I could. I'm sorry I drove you to extremes because I wasn't brave enough to say any of the things that I'm saying right now, and I'm sorry that you thought I didn't want you.
I'm not sorry, however, for feeling like I do about you. Not anymore.
I hope you can forgive me.
That's all.

Shifting insurance company allocations: Implications for high yield
The likely consequences of proposed changes to regulatory capital requirements for U.S. life insurers expected in 2017 as well as U.S. GAAP accounting changes for insurance companies that file U.S. GAAP, starting in fiscal years ending after December 15, 2017 may result in a potential increase in structural demand for high yield bonds affecting our asset allocation views.

Islands of yield, channels of diversification
Since the collapse of interest rates in the aftermath of the financial crisis, investment grade (IG) fixed income supply (taking advantage of low yields) and investment grade demand (eager for any yields at all) have both surged.

NUTRIENT AND FOOD INTAKE IN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI DELTA (LMD): A RURAL POPULATION SURVEY. DIETARY ASSESSMENT METHODS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS. Chiang Rai, Thailand. 2003. Abstract No. E1.7. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Very little research has been directed towards the food and nutrient intake of rural and minority populations, particularly those residing in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) region of AR, LA and MS. FOODS 2000 was a cross sectional telephone survey of the rural LMD population. Food intake data were collected from this culturally diverse population to compare with national survey data and to provide baseline data that could be used to develop nutritional interventions. Subjects were 1751 adults and 485 children. Food intake was obtained from a 24-hr recall administered by computer assisted telephone interview using the multiple pass method. Means and comparisons with the overall US population from the USDA's Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals 1994-96, 98 (CSFII) were generated and the reported food intake of ethnic groups within the LMD compared to CSFII. LMD residents¿ energy intake was not different, but specific nutrients and food groups differed significantly (P<0.005) compared to CSFII. Percent energy from total fat was 2% higher (35% vs 33%), as was discretionary fat intake (62g vs 58g). More cholesterol was consumed (282mg vs 261mg). Meat intake was higher (5.2 oz compared with 4.8 oz). Added sugars were 25% higher for LMD residents than in CSFII. However, lower intakes were noted for LMD residents compared to the national data for fiber (13g vs 16g), vitamin C (83mg vs 100mg), vitamin A (713RE vs 994RE), Mg (236mg vs 269mg), K (2376mg vs 2668mg), Ca (707mg vs 804mg). Delta adults had 20% lower intake of fruits and vegetables and generally poorer adherence to Food Guide Pyramid recommendations. African American adults in the Delta generally consumed poorer diets than Delta Caucasians. Children in the Delta on average had diets similar to the children in the CSFII population, but lower intakes were noted for vitamins A, C, riboflavin, B6, and calcium and iron. Data from FOODS 2000 suggest that there are areas of concern regarding the nutritional intakes of both adults and children of all ethnic groups in the LMD. These data will be helpful in developing sustainable community based nutrition interventions in this region. Supported by USDA, ARS Project #6251-53000-003-00D.

Is it alright to fer a dog?
We have 3 cats and when we got Charlie and Sparky, Josie got all territorial and always seemed to fight with the kittens!
We're probably getting a dog and I don't know if Josie, Charlie or Sparky will be alright with him/her!

in Choosing the Right Pet
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
This a hard question to answer, but I think I have the answer... My two cats and two dogs get along very well. At first they hated each other, but my dog Herschel had to show them who's boss by scaring them, and making the cats realize Herschel protects them, and he deserves respect. So I think if you do get a dog, at first it'll be a little hard, but you just have to keep an eye on the cats and the dog. Maybe put the dog in a crate (or put the cats in a crate or outside) when you can't watch them until you are positive they get along. It might not be the best idea to get a german shepard or something like that though, because if your cat tries to attack it once, trust me, your cat will probably be the german shepard's dinner, so maybe try a beagle, or some kind of dog that is loyal and is good with kids because if it can handle kids it can probably handle cats.
I hope this was helpful!

Whenever I bring a cat or a dog home (I have 3 of each and I used to do animal rescue) I always put a baby gate up in the door of the room that was just for the cats. This room had a window (closed or open just a little), a litter box, food, water and some toys. I cut a cat sized hole in the bottom of the plastic mesh in the gate. The cats could fit through there but not the dogs. They could get way from the dogs that way. If your dog jumps over, you can get another gate and put it on top of the first one. Good luck!

Clean air, water, runways, & new jobs highlighted on public SeaTac Airport tour
SeaTac Airport officials gave the "Airport 101" tour Thursday, Sept. 21, one of four of the Port of Seattle's annual "101" tours. We reported on their Sept. 12 Duwamish 101 tour. Their Cargo Terminals tour is Oct. 3, their Ship Canal tour one week later. The Port 101 Series allows the public to tour the Ship Canal, Airport, Duwamish River and the port's industrial Cargo terminals for a first-hand view.
This year, the Airport 101 tour focused on the Port Commission's "Century Plan", a 25-year reach into its future with such stated goals as becoming increasingly environmentally responsible. Tour officials noted that the ever-expanding airport means more jobs, and estimates that the shipping port and airport, now responsible for 200,000 related jobs, should increase to 300,000 over the next 25 years. To clarify, the term "Century Plan" commemorates the establishment of the Port in 1911.
Mark Reis, SeaTac's Managing Director, emphasized the importance of international, non-stop flights at SeaTac.
"Analysis shows that between 200 million and 500 million dollars a year (enters) a community from adding one daily international flight," he said. "It's not just moving the plane in and out. It results from businesses to expand here because they can fly some of their destinations nonstop (…) We just got the data for growth in August and our international traffic has grown at a rate 10 times our domestic traffic. We've added nine new non-stop international flights in the last five years. This year we've added two. One was ANA, All Nippon Airways a national carrier of Japan, started in July to Tokyo. They will switch to a 787 in October, the first daily 787 (flight) in the United States.
Emirates Airline from Dubai also started non-stop service here (...) Dubai is a gateway to most of the world, in particular to south Asia, India, Pakistan, Africa. Eighty percent of the world's population lives within an 8-hour flight from Dubai."
He added that next year they will finish construction of 44 replacement escalators, and in 2016 the final runway will be resurfaced. In 20 years the airport will be able to increase capacity to 60 million passengers annually, up from 33 million currently.
Airport 101 toured the new, 2.1 million square foot, LEED Silver certified consolidated car rental facility that opened May 17, a $419 million project that includes Washington State's "largest gas station" with 96 fueling pumps, and car washes with over 80-percent recycled water. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) consists of a suite of rating systems for the design and operation of green facilities and homes.
Because the facility, which contracts with 14 rental companies, is off-site, a 7-minute or so commute from the airport terminals on a consolidated compressed natural gas (CNG) bus shuttle cuts emissions on vehicles that would otherwise be on the streets. It cuts traffic, too, considering up to 14,000 cars are rented on a peak day. Also, the "old-school" car rental facilities fill up the tanks and wash the cars sometimes miles from the facility, burning more gas and using non recycled water.
The tour buses rolled along the tarmac, safely skirting the runways and planes taking off and landing, passing gate bound winged giants, the usual suspects, Alaska and Delta, plus an Icelandic jet, a "Condor" owned by Thomas Cook, a Virgin Air craft, several Fed-Ex jets, and an unusual, parked lime green aircraft. It resembles an amusement park ride, but is serious business, a training plane for SeaTac's firefighters.
Robert Duffner, Environmental Compliance Manager at SeaTac, explained that it is what you don't see that is making a huge environmental difference, at least in the case of the underground fuel lines.
"Instead of fuel tankers, we've installed an underground hydrant system in 2006 which reduces the number of diesel powered trucks (on the tarmac) and reduces annual emissions of over 10,000 tons of particulate matter, 300 tons of nitric oxides, and 950 tons of carbon dioxide."
Through federal grants, 600 gas and diesel vehicles servicing the planes like tugs and baggage cars will soon be electric-powered.
The "fuel farm" as they call it, a cluster of enormous tanks south of the terminals, stores approximately 22 million gallons of jet fuel, and connects underground with the Olympic Pipeline in Anacortes. Duffner said during the busiest time of year, July and August, "We flow one to 1.3 million gallons of fuel a day."
This eliminates the need to fuel vehicles to drive back and forth to the fuel farm and he said it is also safer to flow fuel underground.
As part of mitigation for the third runway, 68 acres of wetlands near the airport were created, and another 80 in Auburn. In Miller Creek, which runs along the west side of the airport, salmon spawn, just 200 yards west the center of the third runway.
SeaTac is the leading airport on "avian radar". The airport works with the University of Illinois through the FAA and has three different radars on the airfield, part of a project they hep will track different migratory patterns of birds. They have traps to relocate transient hawks, and have relocated 300 in 10 years. They release them near Bellingham where they have a better food supply.

The Internet Is Monetizing Lies and I Am Mostly Out of Outrage
So that Diane story, about a guy proudly live tweeting his bullying of an upset airline passenger, has turned out to be a fraud.
Likewise, this week's story of a showdown between an out-of-control Twitter account for salsa company Pace Picante and comedian Kyle Kinane is also fake.
I have to say, as a person happily condemned to read the internet all day and follow most of these stories, my feelings are ambivalent.
Two of the sites I read most, Buzzfeed and Gawker, are a strange hybrid of incredibly smart, skeptical reporting paired with very credulous broadcasts of viral stories. Gawker, for instance, pairs John Cook's smart, angry political exposes alongside too-good-to-fact-check heartstring-tuggers by Neetzan Zimmerman. The Zimmerman posts bring in the traffic, and if they periodically turn out to be untrue, well, correct them with an "Update" and trust people to forgive you. After all, we're all adults and we all know viral stories should be taken with a shaker of salt.
And Buzzfeed's similar. They reap monstrous traffic from stories like the Diane Twitter hoax (and, ironically, from their story exposing it as a hoax), but their Bureau of Credulous Viral Reporting underwrites a ton of stellar tech and politics and internet culture reporting.
If you don't mind all this too much, you can make the historical argument: light fare has always supported serious stuff in journalism. You can't have front page investigative reporting without the funny pages. But there's difference between running some Dilbert cartoons and intermixing real, reported stories with fake soap operas cooked up by people who are bored on Twitter.
Or maybe there isn't! Maybe we just need to become comfortable allocating trust in individual writers rather than across entire outlets, which I suspect is what a lot of readers are already doing.
The other facet of this is that, frankly, I have outrage fatigue. I could spend every week being mad about a new viral fiction I've been told and half-believed, or I can just accept that these stories are the modern equivalent of folklore. I can choose to treat these hoaxes as pieces of culture rather than pieces of reporting, as vessels by which we transmit values and fend off boredom.
If that's true, then they're still worth paying attention to, and it's still ok to selectively get mad at them. As with any piece of culture, we're allowed to like some manipulations and dislike others. I can loathe that Diane story, not so much because it's fake, but because it asks us to celebrate a guy who tells a woman to "eat his dick" on an airplane.
All this to say, we're working on a new podcast episode that we hope to have for you tonight or tomorrow. We spoke to one of these perpetrators of a viral hoax that we actually enjoyed being fooled by, that aforementioned Pace Picante story. We talked to him both to get the particulars of what happened, but also to keep picking away at this bigger question: why we like some lies and loathe others.

In this health insurance commercial, Alex Honnold, the king of free-soloing, climbs sculptures on Crissy Field, chimneys up the hundred-year-old Palace of Fine Arts and ends with the ascent of a very tall building while San Francisco watches in utter confusion. This video also gives some insight into the mind of Honnold. Why buildings? Because it's "more exciting."
"I spend so much more time on rock where it's so natural to me, whereas with buildings it's much more of an adventure … I don't have that much experience climbing up buildings, so it's more exciting."

Wood Flooring etc
I just bought a small condo and have a few improvements I'd like to make, specifically, wood flooring for kitchen/entryway, sand sill countertops, new cabinet doors for starters.
-Where should I go to have the flooring done? I've heard Home Depot does shotty work. Is it too difficult to do yourself?
-Any suggestions on specific types of wood?
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Make sure if you have a condo association to check on if they have limits or rules regarding hard surface flooring.
I recommend Flooring America or Carpetone. Either website will help you find a local store. Get bids for those 2 and another store near you.
Make sure the bids are on the same product.
I recommend www.kahrs.com
Floating wood over their thick pad will help with the noise and give you a good value for the buck.
Their are lots of good wood companies out there. This is just my recommendation.

text: Ok about 30 mins ago, I walked outside the front of my house to discover a cop outside near my car. My sister and mother and father were here for the time being to celebrate with my girl and I. My car was the last in the drive way. At least 6 feet from the street. So I'm not in the road. But I got a $50 fine (ticket) for having too many cars in my drive way?????? Are they for reals??? I'm getting really sick and tired of the city to find new ways of making money off people.

This Rebellion: Maine and the Civil War
For Mainers like many other people in both the North and the South, the Civil War, which lasted from 1861-1865, had a profound effect on their lives. Letters, artifacts, relics, and other items saved by participants at home and on the battlefield help illuminate the nature of the Civil War experience for Mainers.
Dressing Up, Standing Out, Fitting In
Adorning oneself to look one's "best" has varied over time, gender, economic class, and by event. Adornments suggest one's sense of identity and one's intent to stand out or fit in.
In the early 1600s, French explorers and colonizers in the New World quickly adopted a Native American mode of transportation to get around during the harsh winter months: the snowshoe. Most Northern societies had some form of snowshoe, but the Native Americans turned it into a highly functional item. French settlers named snowshoes "raquettes" because they resembled the tennis racket then in use.

Prior to Israel's invasion of Gaza, Hamas conducted an ongoing attack on the people of Israel by firing thousands of rockets into that nation. According to Human Rights Watch, these attacks by Hamas violated the rules of war by firing rockets deliberately and indiscriminately into cities including schools and houses of worship. "Hamas rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians are unlawful and unjustifiable and amount to war crimes" claimed the report issued by the group.
Human Rights Watch dismissed Palestinian claims that Hamas had a right to respond to Israel actions by firing rockets at civilian targets. "International law… does not support these asserted justifications." There were no Israel military forces in most areas which received rocket attacks which clearly demonstrates the goal was to kill innocent civilians.
Human Rights Watch had previously accused Israel of war crimes during its invasion of Gaza. As the group notes, Hamas fired rockets from areas in which there were innocent Palestinian civilians and thus placed those people at risk when Israel responded to the rocket attacks.
This blog has condemned Israel's invasion of Gaza for being disproportionate in the response to criminal attacks by Hamas. However, Hamas can not escape blame for its violation of international law.

Don't Panic: A Continuing Series
Posted by Jay Manifold on 16th October 2014 (All posts by Jay Manifold)
[Readers needing background may refer to the first member of this series, Don't Panic: Against the Spirit of the Age, posted last month. This post, unlike that one, was hastily written due to time constraints involving, perhaps ironically, international travel to a Third World country.]
Constructive foreword: suggested case studies in disruption are the Chicago blizzard of 1/13-14/1979 (~3 million commuters immobilized) and the Milwaukee Cryptosporidiosis outbreak of 3/23-4/8/1993 (~400k residents sickened simultaneously).
Thesis: I argue that, at least with Ebola, inept and overwrought responses pose far greater risks to American society than the disease itself. With regard to managing the risks associated with Ebola in the US, it is vital that we identify easily disrupted institutions and design our processes intelligently to avoid creating bottlenecks, mostly by resisting the urge to overreact; likely candidates include …

Picture, if you will, a swaying wagon train following a cattle drive fording the Red River in the mid-1800s as it passes north from Texas into Oklahoma, on its way to the trailhead and stockyards in Kansas City. As the pioneers set up camp, the "cookie" arranges the vittles and brings out the sourdough starter, which is much like this one, to prepare the bread. At around the same time in history, a gnarled and bearded '49er pioneer outfitted in his new fangled Levi jeans prepares for a day panning for gold in northern California by taking a piece of starter from his wooden pail and making up a sourdough loaf. Such is the stuff of culinary legend, but sourdough is rooted in this very real heritage.
San Francisco is often thought of as the sourdough capital of the United States, probably because sourdough bread has remained popular there ever since Gold Rush days. Making the initial starter is a three-day process, so plan ahead if you want to make sourdough for the first time. You may need to visit a natural foods store to find the organic stone ground unbleached white flour
1. To prepare the starter, place the milk in a mixing bowl.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk.
3. Whisk in the honey and 1-1/2 cups of the flour.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature (72 to 76 degrees F.) for 72 hours (3 days).
5. After 72 hours, stir in the 1/4 cup water and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup flour.
6. Cover again with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours; the mixture should be bubbly and have a sour, tangy aroma and taste.
7. Remove the amount of starter the recipe calls for and set aside.
8. Transfer the remaining starter to a sterile' glass jar and replenish it by mixing in 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

When it comes to refilling your ink cartridges, has this thought ever crossed your mind?
"Ink costs a FORTUNE! LIQUID GOLD is cheaper! SERIOUSLY 3 ML of ink for $35?!"
Or…How about that paper?
"An extra sheet of paper for ONE LINE of text!? COME ON!"
Wouldn't it be great if you could save money on ink and paper by seeing what you print before you print it? Maybe only selecting the pages you want, or being able to put multiple pages on one sheet of paper? Or how about printing only in the cheaper black ink instead of color, or saving what you printed as a PDF to send it in e-mail?
GreenCloud lets you do it, and it's available for free at http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/greencloud-printer/
It allows you to do the following:
- Preview printing jobs
- Remove unwanted pages
- Combine 1, 2, 4 pages per sheet of paper
- Print to PDF – fast PDF creator built-in
- Directly print to Dropbox, Google Docs, Minus.com ( will create a pdf doc )
- 2 sided printing , Black & White and more features that turn on / off in 1 click
- Optimized saving ink option
In the screenshot example above, I deselected page 4 (when a page is pink you've selected not to print it) so that only pages 1-3 print. I also elected to turn on gray scale printing only, that way I save that expensive color ink.
But it gets way better.
Let's say I just want to save the information on the page, and I don't necessarily need to print it out. If you click "save as PDF," it creates a PDF document readable by Windows, Mac's, Phones and almost all tablet computers! Click Here for the PDF of the webpage I created above, and you'll see what a great a job GreenCloud does!
It couldn't be easier to use, either! You print just like normal – just select Greencloud from the drop down, and it automatically sets itself as your default printer. Once you click "print," the GreenCloud window comes up and allows you to select what to print, how to print it, and gives you the option to save it, or send/print it. So much easier – so much more economical!
Stop wasting ink, paper… and your time!

"It's about life. It's about love. It's about us."
Film Synopsis:
Based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Color Purple is a richly-textured, powerful film set in America's rural south. Whoopi Goldberg, winner of the Best Actress Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination, makes a triumphant screen debut as the radiant, indomitable Celie, the story's central character. Her impressive portrayal is complimented by a distinguished cast that includes Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Avery, Adolph Caesar, Rae Dawn Chong and Akosua Busia. The Color Purple marks a new, more mature color in Spielberg's artistic palette. It is an exquisitely crafted, landmark film that will be treasured and talked about for years to come.
My Take:
Steven Spielberg's film of The Color Purple became one of the moviemaker's most remarkable successes. It won the National Board of Review's Best Picture Award, garnered 11 Academy Award® nominations (including Best Picture) and earned Spielberg Best Director honors from the Director's Guild of America. The unforgettable characters of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize novel populate this lyrical cinematic adaptation. At the center is Celie, whose search for fulfillment in a world closed to her becomes a triumph of cruelty overcome by love, of pain eclipsed by joy.
I find The Color Purple to be an engrossing and emotionally stirring film. This is an epic style film with a period specific narrative that is senselessly tragic and momentously uplifting. The Color Purple covers lots of territory as it involves elements of rape, incest, emotional and physical abuse (of a brutal nature), racial tension, and sexuality. The subject matter is tough and its depiction in the movie is visceral and heart wrenching. As told from Celie's perspective character development is superb which establishes the connectivity and purposeful foundation from which the story is derived. This is where the strength of the film lies and it is supported by a marvelous ensemble of talent lead by the then predominantly unknown Whoopi Goldberg. I haven't read Alice Walker's novel. I think the reason is because I find the film to be such a rewarding experience that I don't feel compelled to explore it further. The Color Purple is a powerful and sometimes disturbing film that is filled with raw emotion and well drawn characters that are supported by excellent direction and gripping performances by its ensemble cast. It is a marvelous piece of American Cinema that is justly deserving of the accolades bestowed upon it.

The Color Purple comes to Blu-ray Disc from Warner Home Video featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 19 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 4.1 Mbps.
This high definition presentation delivered fair to good overall image quality that appeared faithful to the film's original elements. Its high definition video offered an appreciable level of detail during close ups and select wide angle camera shots. The exterior shots of the southern filming locations looked vivid with naturally rendered colors and estimable but limited depth. The majority of the time the visuals didn't have a high level of image penetration. Sharpness was consistent but the video never attained what I would call lucid clarity. The variety of period colors and earth toned hues were reproduced cleanly and appeared gradationally satisfying. Blacks were punchy and contrast was stable which aided depth perception in low lit sequences. Grain was preserved naturally and is noticeable throughout. While this presentation lacks the polish of today's new movie releases coming to Blu-ray Disc, this encoding appears faithful to the film's original elements and looks decent in high definition.
The lossless soundtrack is almost entirely dialogue driven with the music score being the only other driving element. Quincy Jones' memorable score holds sway over the front soundstage and is presented with excellent imaging and open expression. The sound quality is on point and provides clear and concise voice reproduction and articulated front channel separation. The surrounds are used sparingly to broaden depth during exterior scenes and those that take place in the busy environment of the juke joint and during the choir sequence in the finale. Compared to today's movie soundtracks this presentation sounds a bit dated but I found little to complain about and thought it sounded fine.
Bonus Features:
- Behind the story:
- Conversations with ancestors: The Color Purple from book to screen - 26 minute featurette
- A collaboration of spirits: Casting and acting The Color Purple - 28 minute featurette
- Cultivating a classic: The making of The Color Purple - 23 minute featurette
- The Color Purple: The musical - 7 minute featurette
- Galleries - Behind the scenes/The cast
- Trailers - Teaser 1&2, Theatrical
- Comes packaged in a 40 page Blu-ray book with photos, talent files, production background and more
Final Thoughts:
The Color Purple is an engrossing and emotionally stirring film that is based on the Pulitzer Price winning novel of the same name by Alice Walker. Each time I watch it I find myself riveted by its powerful and sometimes disturbing story that is filled with raw emotion and superbly drawn characters which are supported by excellent direction and gripping performances by its ensemble cast. It makes its debut in high definition on Blu-ray Disc featuring faithful audio/video quality and the same bonus features found on the special edition DVD release. As a fan of the film I am glad to add this collectible Blu-ray release from Warner Home video to my video library. If you have never seen this marvelous piece of American Cinema I can't think of a better introduction than this. Recommended.

Great review Ralph. I bought the DVD version several years ago and at least once a year, I watch this wonderful movie. Ralph, based on your score, do you think I'll gain a lot with the BluRay version compare with regular DVD? I'm tired to double dip every time these movies are available in Blu.
I would recommend that you rent it on Blu-ray and see what you think. That way you can determine whether the upgrade is worth it.

The soundtrack is so integral to this film that it deserves a mention in any review. It's no wonder it is now also a musical, since it is such a natural progression from the fusion created by Spielberg and Jones on film.

Here's what other kids had to say:
Remember how I aske y'all to pray for that sweet little miracle boy earlier? Well,he's been getting headaches...MIRE PRAYER PLEASE! He is soooo sweet and innocent...--ferretlover217lalaland310- I understand the whole anxiety. Sometimes I'll be in the store, and I have to go sit in the car, because I don't want to look retarded and sit out on the floor. I hate that feeling you get in your chest. I have it right now. :(--UndeadSolderI have dyslexia, so it is hard for me to write things.--jdshorseSometimes I don't notice I'm supposed to remember something when time is passing...I also have really good comprehension for quizzes. :-) (only not for when I read aloud–––only for reading independently). Isn't this weird? And my lungs feel like they can take in more air but they are choosing not to. Or it is just that I have MAJOR phlegm issues in my throat that my parents WILL NOT look into it and it's getting more worse and worse everyday. X'O--LizBethGraceI'm diagnosed with anxiety.. Ugh, it's so annoying. I have to take therapy, and it helped me a lot. Also, I'm on medication, so I don't have much anxiety. Although, the anxiety has interfered with my social anxiety (Yeah, horrible I know.) And it's so bad, I'm probably the most shy person in the world. Ugh, it's really, really horrible. My advice for others is to always GET HELP when you feel stressed or have any type of anxiety (Or other illnesses) because it gets worse if you don't (trust me, it does.) ^^ --lalaland310I had a tumor sort of thing above my eye but it wasn't cancerous. It was just a little extra carbon and fat (which is funny because I am really thin and have almost no excess fat). It had to be removed surgically. --ajyos12CowChow-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.--1nancydrew1@Rajdeep07: It's probably just a birthmark, when you're older if it still bothers you you can probably get it removed.--FatimaluvsR@Radjeep: That's perfectly normal. It's just your heritage. If it concerns you, talk to your parents.--purplesparkyI have asthma...basically makes breathing difficult until I take my inhaler.--redwaves9Ohhhhh! Brooklyn1186! I feel horrible for Aly! Next Wedsneday (and every other day) shes in my prayers! Ps: do you believe in Jesus??? I do!!!--tweenaI have this weird line on my nail....LOL...It just showed up one day....it's a beauty mark.--redwaves9RamonaGirl--Wow!!! Come to think of it we are quite alike...(O.o) *walks into wall* OW! No wait I'm fine but I think my nose fell off...Hold on a sec while I duct tape it back on...--ferretlover217Rajdeep, I've seen that on a few Indian boys. I think it looks rather cool! :) Are you in Middle School or anything like that? --RamonaGirlI do not have an "illness" but there are black patches on my right leg. It feels like normal skin but it doesn't look good. Doctors cannot identify the thing, every doctor says that it is a 'new case'. They say it can be removed only by plastic surgery. I have no problems with it whatsoever because I am a soccer player and I mostly use my right leg to shoot the ball. The only problem with it is that it does't look good.
---From India.
Age:12 --Rajdeep07@Brooklyn1186: I prayed for you cousin :) I hope she gets better.--gleesantana1Anna-Marie, Wha?? LUCKY !! My school has Ski Trips, too. Except it's in Snow Valley. In Canada. In Alberta. In Edmonton. Oh, you got it. Okay. So yeah..it happens every Monday, but in the first trip I, um..hmm..I'll do it simple way. Agh-egm. Agh-em. "BOOM!! CRASH! OUCHIE!! Oh, come upstairs. Here's ice. OUCH! NOT CRYING! JUST PAIN! I NOW HAVE A CAST! NO SURGERIES YET! FINE NOW! EXCEPT I CAN'T DANCE!" There. :DD -- ♥ to ya, Anna-Marie ! ☺ --BlueDessertI have hyperhidrosis. Does anyone else? It is awful!!! it effects what i wear, how comfortable I am around people, my self confidence! EVEYTHING! And unless i want botox injections, i don't know what to do. I use Secret and the scent is Sexy Intrigue. I also think there is something else. Because when it is cold, i get this really dry patch at the center of my throat so then i start swallowing a lot and can't stop so then i start gagging and then i start to throw up. I can't help it and i don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions besides go to the doctor?--RomanticgrlFerretlover! READ THIS NOW!! YOU AND I MUST BE LONG LOST SISTERS! Seriously, I just tripped on myself today when I was just one foot away from my sixth period classroom, and everyone was like, 'ARE YOU OKAY?' but I just went straight back up. But then came gym and my legs were behind my head in yoga. --RamonaGirlI have Diabetes and I have a 2 year old cousin who is battling cancer at the moment. please keep her in your prayers (Her name is Aly)--Brooklyn1186 Previous Page Next Page

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Kamui Kobayashi sarcastically hit back at his critics on Monday after an investigation found his Australian Grand Prix crash was due to brake failure.
The Caterham driver was taunted on Twitter after he plowed into the back of Felipe Massa's Williams at the first turn, taking both cars out of the race.
But after a probe found faulty brakes were to blame, Kobayashi tweeted: "Someone criticize me on twitter but I want ask how can I stop the car with out rear brake? I need jump out to push back the car?"
Before the investigation was completed, an angry Massa had called for a one-race ban for Kobayashi, comparing it to a crash caused by Lotu's Romain Grosjean in 2012.
But a stewards' inquiry found Sunday's incident was "caused by a serious technical failure completely outside the control of the driver."

Young Canadian reunites Haitian 'orphans' with parents
By David Adams
MIAMI (Reuters) - Morgan Wienberg, a slight 22-year-old from Canada, was only 18 when she joined the wave of volunteers who flew to Haiti to help out after the catastrophic earthquake in 2010.
Unlike most volunteers she has returned, putting off a medical career to fulfill what she now calls a life mission to rescue abused Haitian children exploited by unscrupulous orphanages.
"I am flabbergasted by her story. It's simply outstanding what she is doing, and nothing fazes her," said Alison Thompson, an Australian nurse and veteran relief worker who ran a camp for earthquake victims in Haiti and now runs rape clinics there.
Wienberg was living in Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon, Canada's westernmost territory, when her plans to study medicine at McGill University took a detour.
She had considered spending the summer working with animals or children in Africa, but quickly signed up as a volunteer to teach English to earthquake victims and help in a prosthetics lab.
"I had never really thought about Haiti. The earthquake drew me to thinking it was the place I could make a difference," she said during an interview in Miami where she was overseeing medical care for one of her charges.

The retrial for a 31-year-old former aide at West Jordan Middle School accused of sexually abusing two teenage students in 2009 is on hold as the state appeals a judge's decision to throw out her conviction.
The outcome may hinge in part on a fact jurors weren't allowed to hear at Andrea Billingsley's trial but outlined in documents filed with the Utah Court of Appeals on Monday. One of Billingsley's alleged 15-year-old victims had made sexual advances toward another teacher who filed a sexual harassment claim against the student, according to documents filed by the Utah Attorney General's Office.
Cara Bailey, an art teacher at West Jordan Middle School, told a school principal that the victim in Billingsley's case, known as M.M. in court documents, sexually propositioned her at school, according to the documents.
Bailey's claims weren't presented to the 3rd District Court jury that convicted Billingsley in November because of Rule 412, a state law that protects victims of sexual abuse from having aspects of their sexual history discussed in court as a way to discredit their allegations against a defendant.
But defense attorneys say Bailey's testimony was important to Billingsley's defense. Billingsley testified at trial that M.M. concocted a rape story as a mode of revenge after she reported him to a school principal for making inappropriate sexual remarks about her breasts during a lunch detention she oversaw. She said the second victim, D.P., played along.
Defense attorneys wanted to call Bailey as a witness to demonstrate that Billingsley did not entice M.M., rather the teenager had "improper sexual desires" and disrespected Bailey and Billingsley, according to court documents.
Bailey filed a report with school officials when the boy propositioned her, and administrators in turn admonished M.M. for his behavior, according to court documents.
Judge Robert Adkins' decision not to allow Bailey on the witness stand played a role in his later decision to lift the jury's verdict against Billingsley in December, just days before she was scheduled for a sentencing that could have given her up to life in prison.
"The court should have permitted the defendant to confront the witnesses against her by allowing at least a limited inquiry into their prior sexual knowledge, experience and behavior," Adkins wrote in his ruling to overturn Billingsley's conviction.
The judge also ruled that a nude photo of Billingsley's breast taken from her cell phone should not have been used as evidence at her trial, because attorneys couldn't prove when or why the photo was taken. Billingsley's attorneys had argued the photo could have unfairly influenced the jury into believing that Billingsley took the image to seduce her alleged victims, when she claimed she took the photo for her husband and the boys stole her phone to set her up.
The Utah Attorney General's Office is appealing Adkins' ruling on behalf of the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office.
At a pre-trial conference in West Jordan's 3rd District Court on Monday, Judge Charlene Barlow set a review hearing for June 13. Billingsley's attorney, Rhome D. Zabriskie, noted in court that it could be months before an actual retrial is put on the calendar.
Billingsley, meanwhile, will remain free as court proceedings continue.
The court documents filed Monday allege the nude photo was relevant at trial, because one of the aide's victims claimed she showed him the nude photo to entice him. The documents also claim Adkins misinterpreted a law that does not allow minors to consent to any sexual situations with adults.
The state also argued the jury's verdict shouldn't be set aside because the jury found sufficient evidence to convict and considered Billingsley a person of special trust since she worked at the school, according to the appeal.
Jurors convicted Billingsley of three counts of first-degree felony sodomy, three counts of first-degree felony forcible sexual abuse and one count of rape.
