"By Jove!" exclaimed the prisoner to himself, as his eyes gradually took in his dreadful surroundings, "I'm sadly afraid that all this means the end of Murray Frobisher, and a mighty unpleasant end it promises to be. No escape possible either," he went on, carefully making a tour of the apartment, and at intervals tapping on the walls with an iron tool which he had picked up, in an endeavour to obtain some idea of their thickness, and so to judge as to the possibility of digging himself out, if he were left alone long enough. But the results were disheartening, to say the least of it. Every spot where he tapped gave back a dull, solid sound, indicating that the walls were quite unusually thick, and that escape by means of excavation or anything of that kind was absolutely out of the question. The room was somewhat peculiarly shaped, being evidently situated in one of the angles of the fort. The wall containing the thick, oaken, iron-studded door through which he had been thrust was evidently enormously thick, while the chamber itself was some fifteen feet wide by about thirty-five feet long, the end wall opposite the door being curved somewhat in the form of an ellipse, meeting in a blunt angle exactly opposite the door. And high up in this angle, about eight feet above the floor, was a small, iron-barred window, which might, but for the bars, have been large enough to permit of the egress of a man of ordinary size.
The total height of the chamber was about ten feet, and the walls were almost entirely covered with weird and terrible-looking instruments. Some of these Frobisher recognised through having read about them in books, but of others he could not possibly guess the use. Their shapes and forms were, however, so dreadfully suggestive that he felt it to be a mercy that he was ignorant of the more subtle and refined forms of Oriental torture, otherwise he would soon lose his reason in contemplation of the frightful uses to which those instruments could be put.
Also, strewn about the floor, in such profusion as to leave little room for anything else, were larger implements, whose use Frobisher was fortunately unable to guess at; while in the two corners of the room there were piles of variously-shaped knives and swords which he guessed the torturers were wont to employ in the discharge of their ghastly business, among which he recognised the long, razor-edged weapon used for administering the terrible "death of the thousand cuts", also a sword with a saw, instead of smooth edge, and a big, broad-bladed, keen knife or short, heavy sword, used upon those victims who were lucky enough to be sentenced to a quick death by beheading. To Frobisher it seemed that merely to immure a prisoner in such a ghastly museum was in itself an act of torture which might easily drive a less well-balanced man than himself mad within a very few hours.
One thing that rather astonished him was the fact of those swords being left lying loose in the cell. Surely, rather than submit to the tender mercies of a Korean torturer, any prisoner, however weak or timid, would arm himself with one of them and die fighting, or even put an end to his own existence, rather than have his life wrung from him inch by inch and minute by minute in agony indescribable! At any rate it did not take Frobisher a moment to determine that when the end should come he would take the long weapon used for the "thousand cuts" and, standing in the middle of the chamber where he could have a clear sweep for the sword, fight his enemies to the death.
He strode over to the corner and drew the weapon he had selected out of its scabbard. It had a long handle, permitting two hands to be employed, and the blade was made of very highly-tempered steel, as stiff and springless as an English razor, and as keen. It was about four feet in length and quite two inches wide, and the steel at the back was fully a quarter of an inch thick. There was a very slight curve in the blade, and the point was sharply curved round, similar to the points found on the old Japanese swords; and in the hands of a powerful man like himself it would undoubtedly prove a very terrible weapon. Indeed, it was so heavy that Frobisher wondered how it could be possible with so ponderous a blade to carry out the particular form of execution for which it was designed. But it would serve his purpose admirably, the sailor told himself; and he sheathed the weapon and placed it at the far end of the chamber, where it might be ready to his hand if necessity arose for him to use it.
The next step in the examination of the cell was to get a glimpse, if possible, out of the little window, high up in the wall, to learn something concerning the whereabouts of his prison and how it was situated. Then, in the somewhat improbable event of an opportunity offering for escape, he would not be handicapped by ignorance with regard to his surroundings.
To this end he hunted about for something wherewith to construct a platform, and presently managed to collect together a pile of instruments, pieces of ancient furniture, and odds and ends of lumber which, piled together, enabled him, assisted by his great height, to bring his eyes to the level of the bottom of the window; and having climbed up, using great care not to upset the pile in so doing, Frobisher seized the iron grating protecting the window and, thus supporting himself in position, looked out.
Narrow as was the window on the inside, the view which the young Englishman was able to obtain from it was quite extensive, for the embrasure which formed the opening was splayed widely outward on both sides, in a manner frequently seen in old English castles in the construction of the "arrow slits" in the walls; and the first thing he noticed was that he had been correct in his estimation of the thickness of the walls. They were at least six feet thick, and there was therefore no hope whatever of being able to break out through them.
The fort itself was situated on the right bank of the river; and, judging from the open country in its neighbourhood, must be at some little distance from the town of Asan itself. Indeed, as Frobisher afterwards ascertained, the building was situated on a small peninsula of land jutting out into Prince Jerome gulf, and was therefore nearly four miles distant from the town. The window embraced a view of part of the gulf, including the entrance, and a strip of jungle-clad country running right down to the water's edge; while beyond these two points the outlook was restricted by the outer edges of the splay in which the window was built. From the same cause, also, Frobisher was unable to see the ground close enough to the wall to judge whether the fort was surrounded by a moat or a dry ditch of any description, although from the general appearance of things he surmised that it was.
By estimating the angle at which his line of sight was cut off by the outer edge of the sill, he calculated that he must be confined in a room situated on the second story of the fort, and that there would consequently be a considerable drop from the bottom of the window to the ground, without taking into consideration the probable existence of a ditch of fifteen or twenty feet deep running round the base of the walls.
In any case, even if the iron bars could by some means be removed, it did not appear as though it would be possible for him to squeeze his big body through the opening, so the question of the depth of the drop outside was hardly worth worrying about. His one and only means of egress seemed to be the door by which he had entered, and to that he now turned his attention, with the view of ascertaining whether any hope lay in that direction.
As has been mentioned, the door was constructed of timber very much resembling oak, and its inner surface was reinforced by stout iron straps some three or four inches wide, at least half an inch thick, and extending across the whole width of the door. The round heads of bolts studded at intervals along the whole length of the straps indicated that similar iron bands existed on the other side of the door, and that the straps, inside and outside--of which there were no less than seven pairs--were connected together, thus clearly indicating the immense strength of the door. It was thus hopeless to think of cutting a way out through it; the only manner in which it could be passed was by opening it in the usual manner.
Frobisher therefore set to work to examine the lock, to discover whether there existed any possibility of picking it. It was an old-fashioned piece of mechanism, and, luckily, the iron case was on the inside of the door, the great keyhole being placed near the centre. Now for a piece of stout wire, the stouter the better! The young Englishman proceeded at once to hunt about among the various machines and instruments in the dim corners of the chamber in search of what he required. For some time he was unsuccessful, and he had reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that the search must end in failure, when his eyes happened to fall upon the very thing he needed.
Standing at the far end of the apartment, in that part of it enclosed by the circular portion of wall, was a sinister-looking machine, and to the gearing of one of its handles was attached a short piece of iron rod which he thought he might disengage without much difficulty. Forthwith he applied himself to the task, with such success that, half an hour later, he found himself in possession of what he required. True, it was somewhat stouter than it should have been for his purpose, but this was one of those occasions upon which he found his exceptional strength very useful, and after a few experiments he succeeded in bending it to the shape he wanted.
He was experimenting with the bent rod in the lock when, fortunately, his quick ear caught the sound of footsteps hurrying down the stone-flagged corridor toward his cell.
Snatching the wire out of the lock, he hastily dropped it into the nearest available place of concealment, and sauntered toward the opposite side of the chamber. There would be no time, he knew, to take down and redistribute the pile of articles he had used to enable him to look out of the window, so he was compelled to leave them as they were, trusting that, in the dim light, the visitor, whoever he might be, would not particularly notice the arrangement. A moment later there was a sound of keys rattling outside, the lock clicked loudly, and the door opened and closed behind a man carrying a lamp, which he set down on the floor just inside the room, after carefully locking the door again.
The thought instantly flashed through Frobisher's mind that perhaps after all there would be no need for him to go on with the manufacture of his skeleton key; for was not the actual key of the door in the room at that very moment? True, it was in the possession of another man; but unless he happened to possess fire-arms, it would be queer indeed if a desperate prisoner could not overpower him, tie him up somehow, and secure the key to obtain his liberty. Frobisher's eyes glistened at the thought, and his muscles braced themselves for a spring. But at the critical moment the idea occurred to him that the other was in his power anyhow, and that he could secure the key later on, just as well as now; and that, meanwhile, before he acted hastily, it might be well to hear whether the fellow had anything to say. Perhaps this was an official come to set him at liberty, or perhaps--Well, he would wait a little, at all events, and see what developments ensued.
Having locked the door and pocketed the key, the visitor picked up the lantern and advanced into the room, holding the light high and glancing keenly round until his eyes fell upon Frobisher, whereupon he gave a short grunt of satisfaction and hung the lantern on a convenient peg.
By the additional light thus afforded, the Englishman was able to examine his visitor more closely, and to estimate his chances of success if things came to a rough-and-tumble fight for possession of the key.
The stranger was tall, almost as tall as Frobisher himself, but not nearly so heavily built, and appeared to be about fifty-five to sixty years of age, so that the young Englishman did not anticipate any serious difficulty in mastering him. He was very richly dressed in garments of fine silk, elaborately decorated with embroidery, and wore round his neck a heavy gold chain, the centre of which was studded with a single enormous ruby. As a head-covering he wore a round Chinese cap, which was ornamented by a single magnificent peacock's feather, fastened to the cap by a brooch of solid gold set with another huge ruby.
The man's whole appearance was indeed imposing and magnificent in the extreme, and Frobisher instantly guessed that he was in the presence of a very important official indeed. This man, he told himself, could surely not be a Korean. No Korean ever attained to such a commanding stature, no Korean had ever been known to display so haughty a bearing, so dominant a personality; and as his eyes slowly travelled from the details of the man's costume to his face, the prisoner recognised that his visitor was indeed not a Korean, but a Chinaman, and a Chinaman of the highest grade, too--without doubt, a mandarin. There was no mistaking the thin, ascetic, high-bred face, the prominent cheek-bones, the almond-shaped eyes; and the long but scanty moustache scarcely concealed a strong, resolute-looking mouth, the lips of which were, however, rather too thin, lending an expression of cruelty and relentlessness of purpose which was anything but reassuring to the prisoner.
For a few moments the two men stood gazing at one another, each taking the other's measure. Then the Chinaman spoke, using excellent English.
"I am the Governor of this fortress of Asan," he began coldly, "and have just been informed of your presence here. You would have been brought before me on your arrival, but it chanced to be the hour of my afternoon rest. Who and what are you?"
"My name is Murray Frobisher," answered the Englishman, "and I was formerly a lieutenant in the British Navy."
"Ha!" exclaimed the Governor. "You say `formerly'. I take it, then, that you are no longer in your country's service, and that it is not known to your Government that you have turned gun-runner in order to supply arms to rebels against their lawful sovereign?"
"You are correct in both suppositions," answered Frobisher. "You tax me with gun-running; and I plead guilty to the charge. I certainly was bringing arms to the rebels, as you term them; but my conscience is quite clear upon that point. It is well known that the Korean Government has been treating its subjects in a most outrageous manner; and if some of them with more pluck than the rest have made up their minds to put an end to such tyranny, more power to them, say I, and may somebody else be more fortunate than myself in providing them with weapons wherewith to uphold their liberties and rid themselves of the rulers who are oppressing them."
The Chinaman looked at Frobisher for a moment, and then gave vent to a harsh, sneering laugh.
"Well spoken, my young friend!" he mocked. "You have told me something that I wanted to know; and now perhaps you will answer a few more questions. I would very strongly advise you to do so, since it may save you a good deal of--inconvenience, shall I say?"
"You may ask what you please," retorted Frobisher, "but I do not promise to answer."
"I shall ask the questions, nevertheless," said the Governor; "and if you will not speak now, other means of obtaining replies can doubtless be found. First of all, what ship brought those arms; who was her captain; what quantity of arms and ammunition did the consignment consist of--some have been lost in transit, I understand--and, finally, how many more shiploads are being sent out here from your country?"
Frobisher laughed, but made no reply.
"Did you hear me?" demanded the Governor, and there was deadly menace in his voice.
"Quite distinctly," answered Frobisher coolly. "But surely you cannot have already forgotten that I gave you to understand clearly, scarcely a minute ago, that I will tell you nothing whatever. And when I say a thing, I mean it."
"Soh!" remarked the Chinaman. "Well, you shall have to-night to think matters over; but if you have not altered that stubborn mind of yours by morning, you shall make the acquaintance of some of these little playthings"--indicating the various machines and instruments with a delicate, long-taloned finger. "There are some here which are probably new to you, but we, in this place, understand their use well. I will leave you this lantern, so that you may study them carefully during the night, and decide what you prefer to do."
With an ironical bow, the Governor then turned toward the door, his fingers seeking the pocket where he had placed the key.
This was the moment for which Frobisher had been waiting; and with a spring he hurled himself at the retreating figure of the Governor. But that individual was not to be caught so easily. He must have glimpsed the prisoner's face out of the corner of his eye as he turned, for he was round again in a moment, and, dodging the Englishman's furious leap, thrust a hand inside his jacket, and before Frobisher could get to grips with him, he found himself confronted with the muzzle of a heavy revolver, pointing straight at him, the Governor's forefinger already crooked round and pressing the trigger.
"Not this time, my friend," smiled the Governor sardonically. "One step farther, and I shoot to wound--painfully. Do you want an immediate taste of what is in store for you to-morrow, or--" And, leaving the sentence unfinished, the Chinaman slowly backed to the door, leaving Frobisher glowering helplessly in the middle of the room.
With his back against the door and the pistol still levelled, the Governor felt behind him, inserted the key, and turned the lock. Then, with one swift movement he was outside; the door slammed, the key grated, and the prisoner was alone once more.
"Well," he murmured, half-amused, despite his anger and disappointment, "the rascal was too smart for me that time. But,"--here he lifted the executioner's sword from its place in the corner--"things will be a little different to-morrow, if that man is foolish enough to trust himself here again alone."
Frobisher waited until the sound of his visitor's footsteps had died away along the corridor, and then, congratulating himself upon the fact that that worthy had left the light behind him, re-possessed himself of his piece of iron rod, and with the assistance of the lantern set to work upon the lock again, in the hope that he might be able to complete his skeleton key and let himself out before the Governor returned to carry out his threat. But this was a more difficult matter than he had anticipated; and after about two hours of ineffective tinkering he was compelled to acknowledge himself defeated.
With a bitter objurgation he flung the useless and twisted rod into a corner, and, not being able to find anything else that would serve his purpose, made up his mind that he would have to await developments, and rely upon his own strength of arm to get himself out whenever the Governor or somebody else should visit the cell. Meanwhile, if he were to be in good form for a possibly strenuous morrow, it was necessary that he should sleep, seeing that nobody had thought it worth while to provide him with any food; so, unsheathing the sword, with the help of which he proposed to effect his deliverance, he flung himself down at the far end of the chamber, laying the weapon beside him, and had scarcely touched the floor before he was fast asleep. He had been more worn out and weary than he had at all suspected.
It seemed as though he had just closed his eyes, when he was awakened by a thundering crash of sound, apparently close at hand. The chamber in which he was confined quivered perceptibly with the shock; while, right upon the heels of the concussion, came the noise of a distant explosion.
"A heavy gun, by Jingo!" ejaculated Frobisher, springing to his feet; "and whoever fired it is using this place as a target! That shot must have struck close outside here. What is in the wind now, I wonder? Anyway, if they are attacking this fort, they must, in a certain way, be friends of mine, for they are certainly the enemies of my enemies within the walls. Pound away, boys!" he exclaimed cheerfully, apostrophising the unseen gunners; "pound away! If you don't kill me first, you may perhaps make an exit for me through that wall."
At that moment he heard the sound of voices raised in alarm, the shouting of orders, and all the indications of a suddenly-awakened and thoroughly-alarmed garrison. Men were rushing about here and there, the rattle of arms sounded distantly through the iron-bound door; and presently, from the battlements, apparently directly over his head, there boomed forth the crash of the Korean garrison's answering gun, followed almost immediately afterwards by still another tremendous shock, accompanied by the rumble and rattle of falling masonry as another shot from the attacking force struck full upon the fortress wall, this time seemingly just above him. The foemen gunners seemed to have waited for the flash of the gun on the battlements, and aimed for that, and they appeared to be making pretty good practice.
The young Englishman looked at his watch--which had somehow escaped the fingers of his captors, and which he had kept wound regularly--and found to his astonishment that it was close on half-past four o'clock in the morning, and that therefore daylight could not be very far distant. It would not be long before he could climb up to his perch at the window, and see who the attackers were. Meanwhile the explosions had increased from the exchange of single shots to a general cannonade on both sides; and now the very atmosphere was vibrating with the deafening concussions, as the guns on the battlements roared and the heavy conical shot from the attacking party plunged against the thick masonry of the walls, toppling down great masses of stone, mortar, and debris at every hit.
The gunners were evidently directing their fire mostly on that portion of the building wherein Frobisher was confined, and he told himself that it would require but little more of their attention before the walls became so shattered that the shot would come plunging right into the cell. He began to speculate on what would then happen first--whether he would be blown to pieces or smashed into shapelessness, or whether an opening would be made by which he might be enabled to escape. If only a shot would strike directly upon the iron bars of the window, perhaps it would enlarge the aperture sufficiently to allow him to crawl through.
Looking up at the window, as the idea entered his mind, he saw that the sky was already flushed pink, and knew that there would therefore be light enough outside to enable him to see what was going on; and he at once climbed up on the pile which he had collected, and, hauling himself up to the opening, looked out.
At the edge of the jungle he observed half a dozen big field-pieces drawn up in line, and he could see the gunners busily loading and reloading from the piles of ammunition placed beside each gun; while behind, on the slightly-rising ground, and partly concealed by the jungle, it was possible to make out a large body of riflemen who, now that the light was increasing, were preparing to take their part in the attack. There was no doubt as to the identity of the attackers, for Frobisher could now distinguish several flags similar to those flown on the boats of the rebel squadron a few days previously, during the fight on the river. That particular force had evidently been joined by another contingent, and the two combined had decided to make another attempt to recapture the all-important cargo which now reposed within the walls of the fortress of Asan.
But suddenly, as the interested Englishman watched, he heard a loud, shrieking, whirring sound, somewhat resembling the very rapid exhaust from a locomotive, and a flash of flame leaped out close alongside one of the guns, followed by a loud explosion and a great cloud of smoke and dust. And when this cloud had cleared away, he saw that one of the besiegers' guns had been temporarily put clean out of action, for the right wheel was blown completely away, and the gun itself was lying on its side, half-buried in the sand; while, as for the crew who had been working it, so far as he could ascertain they had been blown completely out of existence, for there was no visible sign of them.
That high explosive shell had obviously not come from the fort; where, then, had it come from? And what new surprise had fate in store?

West Brom striker Saido Berahino rejects new four-year contract
Tottenham appear to have dropped out of the running after having four bids worth up to £23m rejected last summer.
And Newcastle, who offered more than £20m in January, are out of the race after being relegated from the Premier League.
Berahino is currently at the club's pre-season camp in Austria after relations with team-mates thawed in the second half of last season.

The Drake game was a turning point in our season last year and I feel this will be a turning point in this season.

British rocker CARL BARAT has sparked new hopes for a The Libertines reunion after insisting he and former pal Pete Doherty have "unfinished business" in a U.K. newspaper interview.
The Dirty Pretty Things star and Doherty famously fell out over the latter's spiralling drug problems and his penchant for allegedly stealing from Barat.
The pair performed together during a Hackney Empire show in London in April, 2007, sparking hopes of a reunion - but it wasn't to be.
However, responding to Doherty's tribute to his former songwriting partner at the recent Glastonbury Festival, where the singer dedicated a song to his pal, Barat tells the Sunday Mail he's no longer ruling a reunion with The Libertines, the cult, short-lived band the pair formed.
He says, "As to whether The Libertines could reform, it's a big 'Maybe'. It's a question that follows me around constantly. Some school kid will ask, 'When are you getting The Libertines back together?'
"I'm thinking, 'Do you really think this is something I haven't given a lot of thought to?'
"I miss the purity of what me and Pete had together when we started out. It would be great to have that back. Pete always used to say, 'Imagine the songs we still have to write.' That thought is always with me."

See my message in dev ML about upgrading to Tomcat 8... http://markmail.org/message/tgdzfcpjhkcmig7d ...
Actually working with "OWASP Dependency Check" on OFBiz to identify and possibly fix dependencies vulnerabilities is very tedious (you need to check issues one by one and put the possible suppress information in the suppression file and run again the check, etc.). It appears, I guess because it's disputed by the Tomcat team[1], CVE-2013-2185 is also not fixed in Tomcat to 7.0.65, and I guess will not be either in Tomcat 8 or 9.

PHOTO: Canadian hockey team will be sleeping in tight quarters at the Olympics
Ian McLaren
With a massive media contingent gathering in Sochi in advance of the Winter Olympics, scenes of what the athletes can expect when they arrive have begun to emerge.
Here's what the Canadian men's hockey team can look forward to when they check in to the village.
And here's another view from a wider angle.
As Ian Mendes of TSN1200 said, "Great way to build chemistry for a forward line," or perhaps a room more for Bert and Ernie.

Aston Villa are tracking Hajduk Split midfielder Tino-Sven Susic – who Nigel Pearson once tried to sign for Leicester City.
Villa sent scouts to watch the 24-year-old Bosnian in action on Sunday when Hajduk were beaten at home by Inter Zapresic.
Susic is a creative midfielder who has been on the radar of Engish clubs in the past with Stoke and Leicester linked last year, while West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is also understood to be a fan.
Villa's sudden interest is being reported as another clue that Pearson, who has been out of work since being sacked by Leicester last summer, will be the next permanent manager at Villa Park.

Fantasy Basketball News: Injury Update 1/1/15
The Latest Fantasy Updates on Injured NBA Players
January 1, 2015
See the Latest Odds
The calendar has officially switched over to 2015, but for fantasy basketball owners it's just another day in the middle of the season. The NBA action is pretty thin today, so that makes it a good time to check out some of the injury situations around the league. Here's a closer look.
Marcus Thornton of the Celtics was out of action last night against the Kings. He's been practicing this week but hasn't quite made the jump to being game-ready. His calf injury has him day-to-day.
Thornton's not much of a consideration for those outside of deep leagues, however, so he doesn't hold much value for most owners.
USA TODAY Sports
The Nuggets' Randy Foye appears to be ready to get back on the court--or at least he's close, anyway. Foye is reportedly near a return to action after missing out on a lengthy stretch of games due to a quad injury.
The Denver coaching staff anticipates Foye will be back "shortly after the new year," which should mean a matter of days or maybe a week or two at worst.
Once Foye is back to 100 percent, he'll be a big contributor in fantasy terms, so keep an eye on him.
Over in Milwaukee, the Bucks' Ersan Ilyasova and Larry Sanders were both out of last night's road game against Cleveland. There had been some initial hope on both players (they were questionable), but it appears it's too early for a return.
Ilyasova has a concussion and Sanders is dealing with an illness. It shouldn't be too much longer for either player, though.
Ramon Sessions was out for the Celtics game last night. He'd previously been labeled as doubtful, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. Sessions has a back injury he's dealing with.
Jerryd Bayless was out last night against the Cavaliers due to a sore knee. From most indications, this seems like a simple maintenance/rest issue, so it doesn't seem like he'll miss much more time if any.
Speaking of the Cavs, they were without LeBron James, Kevin Love and Shawn Marion last night. All things considered, that wasn't much of a surprise.
Marion has an ankle injury and has been out for two games. Love, meanwhile, seems to be getting close to a return from his back spasms.
As for James, the knee injury is starting to become a concern in fantasy terms. Obviously, owners will want to monitor his status and plug him back into their lineups as soon as he's available.
Let's finish up by checking out a couple of Spurs players. The team expects veteran Tony Parker to be back out on the court before Kawhi Leonard is available, according to sources in San Antonio.
Neither player seems all that close to full health, however. Parker has no official timetable for a recovery, and Leonard looks like he'll need some additional recuperation before he's all set.

Meet Your Master Mechanic - Alan Graves
If you're old enough to remember vehicles with crank windows, power windows are the best thing out there. That is, until they don't work. One of VIP master tech Alan Graves' most vivid repair stories includes a limo with power windows (or rather, lack thereof). After several failed repairs, a limo with no working power windows rolled into Alan's repair bay.
After a few minutes of investigation, Alan not only found the problem but was also able to figure out why none of the previous repairs had worked. Some incorrect wiring within the power window electrical system was creating a short, causing the windows to lose power and eventually burn out the motor. Once Alan completed the repair, the limo was able to quickly resume its chauffeuring duties, power windows to boot.
With the arrival of 2017, Alan will be celebrating seven years as an ASE-certified Master Tech at the Lewiston, Maine VIP Tires & Service location. He's always loved auto mechanics and over the years has watched the industry evolve. "Everything is electronically controlled now," says Alan, which turns out to be a blessing and a curse. "Vehicle issues are easier to find and diagnose nowadays but the wrong person can make one heck of a mess in there!"
If there's one piece of advice that Alan wished all vehicle owners would heed – whether or not they are his customers – it's to keep up with routine vehicle maintenance. "I know we're all busy and might forget a service here and there, but routine maintenance is the key to a better and longer lifespan of your car or truck," says Alan. "Plus, it means you get to see me less and under better circumstances!"
When Alan isn't busy being a VIP Master Tech, he's wicked busy being Dad and also Coach. Father to four very active boys, ranging from five-months to 12 years, sports are a huge part of his family life. Alan also coaches his kids' teams in the Lewiston area. And, if that weren't enough to make you want to take a nap, Alan is a huge fitness enthusiast and enjoys body building as well.
Why you can trust Alan Graves to be your local auto mechanic:
Alan has always enjoyed working in auto mechanics and holds that passion every day and with every vehicle he works on. He wants to earn the trust of his customers and he feels the best way to do that is to empower the vehicle owners. Education is an important piece of that, so if you don't understand what's going on with your vehicle or why a repair is needed, Alan is more than happy to get you out into the bay to explain what's going on.
When and where can you find Alan Graves?

Published: Thursday 4th December 2014 by The News Editor
Police investigating the disappearance of a new mother and her four-day-old baby from hospital have found a woman's body in a gorge.
The family of Charlotte Bevan, 30, who vanished from Bristol Maternity Hospital on Tuesday with her daughter, Zaani Tiana, have been informed of the find in the nearby Avon Gorge, Avon and Somerset Police said.
CCTV footage showed Ms Bevan leaving the hospital coatless and carrying Zaani wrapped in just a blanket.
Avon and Somerset Police said the body was found in the Avon Gorge in Bristol yesterday evening.
The force said Ms Bevan's family had been informed but formal identification will not take place until today.
The police statement added: "The police helicopter remains in the area to assist the continuing searches by police officers on the ground."
Pascal Malbrouck, Ms Bevan's boyfriend and Zaani's father, had earlier issued a heartfelt plea for her to "please come back".
Speaking at a press conference he said: "Charlotte, please come back, you're welcome any time. The last two days as a family was amazing and I really want to do that for much longer. I'm waiting for you."
Her mother, Rachel Fortune, also appealed for her daughter to get in touch, telling her: "We all really enjoyed seeing you be such a good mother. Let's go forward with that. Please get in touch. We all love you. Just get in touch, please get in touch."
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Crisp said Ms Bevan had been making "great progress" and was due to be discharged from hospital in a day or two.
But she shocked staff by walking out and not telling anyone where she was going.
She left hospital without a coat or shoes, wearing just a pair of hospital slippers, a long black top and black trousers.
Friends described Ms Bevan as part of a "happy couple" and said her disappearance was totally "out of character".
Just hours before she went missing, Ms Bevan posted a self-help video on her Facebook page called Get Through Positive And Negative Thinking Rough Patches.
But earlier this month she had posted happy pictures of herself with her baby bump on the social networking site, where she also described herself as a "free spirit".
Describing herself, she wrote: "I am free open-minded individual I love music, art, dancing and making clothes.
"I'm a free spirit open minded and individual I appreciate people for who they are kind or nasty they all need love."
Isaac McCardle, a friend of the couple, told of the fraught hunt to find Ms Bevan and Zaani Tiana.
Writing on Avon and Somerset Police's Facebook page, he said: "This is out of character.
"I was out on the streets with a friend for over three hours and searched almost every road, park, alleyway etc in the area as well as high streets and found nothing."
He described Ms Bevan and Mr Malbrouck as "a happy couple".

Jessica Biel seemingly has it all -- stunning looks, a solid career, and a famous rock star boyfriend. The only downside is she's too pretty to work and Hollywood is apparently discriminating against the sexy actress.
Jessica revealed to Allure magazine that her looks can be an impediment in gaining the types of roles she wishes to play. She no longer wants to appear in movies such as I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and Summer Catch. She tells the magazine that she covets the types of roles Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson are receiving.
Jessica believes "that being too good-looking can be a problem for an actress":
It really is a problem, I have to be blunt. I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, then don't hire me. But if you don't want to see me, that's hurtful.
What do you think? Is Jessica Biel too hot for Hollywood?

I decided on Friday night I wanted DARK nails, I haven't really worn dark nails for ages [With the exception of My Private Jet of course]. I felt like painting my nails black, I decided to pick up this colour from work. It's by Rococo and the colour is called 'City Slick'. I love this black, because it has dimension to it, there is a slight almost non existent sparkle [Charcoal grey I'd say] which really makes this colour stand out. I love the collection of Rococo nail polishes.. there are some amazing summer colours I can't wait to get my hands on.
I wasn't impressed to how long my rococo nail polish lasted last time, so I will put it to the test again! What colour are you guys wearing this week?

Some days in this line of work, the fish just take a dump on you. Anyone who has fished enough tournaments knows exactly what I am talking about. Just when you think you have a little something figured out wham! They go and change the questions.
Here I am on what is considered the best bass fishing lake in the country, just dying to catch a 6 or 7 pounder. I know each of the first two days of competition that one fish in the 6- to 8-pound class will be the difference between making a check or going to Rayburn on an empty stomach.
I never caught a big number of 4- to 5-pound fish in practice, but I could catch a ton of threes and did catch several in the 6- to 8-pound class. I didn't start the derby with the mindset to try and win it because I never felt that I was fishing for the correct fish to win. Defeated from the gun? Maybe.
After missing the Top 50 cut on Friday, I spent Saturday morning with my wife, Kerry, catching up on email and packing some things up to move on to Jasper. We decide to head out to the lake and look around a few hours before the weigh-in. Might be nice to jerk on a few more Amistad bass before we move on down the road.
We drop the 'Cat in the water and putt around the corner to a small cove to try and stay out of any competitor's way. Last thing I want to do is pull up on someone's spot they have been working for the previous two days.
We start down the cove, throwing Bass Pro Stik- O's, and we catch a few small bass. Kerry finds one around 3 pounds that is roaming around a bed and it grabs her Stik-O. Moving out onto a small flat, I spot a pair on a bed in about 12 feet of water. "That looks like a 6-7 pounder", I tell Kerry. "Drop this tube down there and see what she does."
Kerry drops the Tender Tube over a bush and right into the bed. After a few minutes, the male grabs it and swims off. She jerks on him and up comes a nice 2.5 pounder. I drop him in the livewell for a brief rest and I start thinking "If he is 2.5 pounds, how big is "
After a few minutes, the female moves up onto the bed. Kerry drops the tube over the bush again and right into the bed. Several drops and some agitation gets the female pissed and she picks up the tube to move it from her domain. That's when all hell breaks loose.
I thought the fish was going to take my wife right off the front deck of the Puma. As the bass shot up to the surface, I quickly realized that this was no 6 pounder. More like 9. Maybe 10. As it shot into the next bush, maybe 11. It looks like a whale as it tries to pull my wife down into the bush with it. Ohmygoditsamonster!
I do get credit for a little assist with some rod leverage and a fine lipping job as I heaved a monster over the side of the boat. My Cul M Rite scale read 10.55 pounds. Biggest bass I have ever had my hands on. A few pics, some quick measurements of length and girth, and we drop the pair back on top of the bed. After a few minutes, we see the male back on guard.
I am thrilled to death for my wife that she caught such a huge fish. She has always wanted to catch a really big bass and now she has done that, topping my biggest (10.22) in the process. However happy I am, I realize that had I caught that fish or one even a few pounds lighter on either of the two previous days, I would have been fishing on Saturday and getting at least a $10,000 check. Ouch!
But I would not have been fishing with my wife on a gorgeous day on beautiful Lake Amistad with ten pounders swimming at our feet. What more could a guy ask for?

Kuwaiti authorities raid four companies dealing in pirated software
The Kuwaiti authorities have intensified their campaign against companies and people trading or using illegal software. The Ministry of Information recently carried out a raid on four companies and seized several PCs and CDs loaded with pirated software.
These raids were a part of joint efforts exerted by Kuwait in association with IT companies that produce software and Business Software Alliance (BSA), aimed at combating software piracy in Kuwait.
According to the results of the eighth global study done by BSA, software piracy in Kuwait came down to 73 percent in 2002 from 91 percent in 1994. The study has urged Kuwait to adopt more stringent strategies and intensify its investigations against law breakers by implement the copyright and intellectual property laws more forcefully.
According to the study, the implementation of the copyright laws was still weak in Kuwait, because violators were not being given stiffer penalties like jail terms, as means of deterring others from indulging in anti piracy practices, the study adds.
BSA is an international organization representing leading software and e-commerce developers in 65 countries around the world. Established in 1988, BSA has offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. As the voice of the software industry, BSA helps governments and consumers understand how software strengthens the economy, worker productivity and global development and how its further expansion hinges on the successful
fight against software piracy and Internet theft.
BSA's efforts include educating computer users about software copyrights; advocating public policy that fosters innovation and expands trade opportunities; and fighting software piracy. — (menareport.com)

Fantasy's Most Wanted: Drug Use in the Sci-Fi Fantasy Universe
Made-up substances that spark worlds of action and adventure
Generally speaking, you don't want a drug addict for a friend. But one look at the sci-fi and fantasy shelves will show you plenty of heroes who are just that. Take a look at these made-up substances that spark worlds of action and adventure.
The Drug Addicts
It's never easy being a drug addict, but it's especially hard to be Jake Cardigan in the TekWar series by William Shatner. Jake, a former cop busted for his use of the drug called Tek (a computerized brain chip that lets you live out your wildest fantasies), is sentenced to 15 years of suspended animation. But Jake turns his life around and becomes involved in an action-packed, complex fight against Tek.
Bob Arctor of Philip K. Dicks's A Scanner Darkly is not so lucky. Bob is an undercover agent working to stop the dealing of Substance D, but he slowly becomes increasingly addicted to the drug himself.
Shady Business
Of course, these struggling addicts didn't get those drugs by themselves, so what about the drug-dealing underworld? Perhaps the most famous drug network in science fiction history comes from Dune by Frank Herbert. In this book, the drug Melange is the source of all intergalactic commerce. This highly addictive drug causes people who take it to live longer and, sometimes, even foretell the future.
In Paul Di Filippo's Cosmocopia, the artist Frank Lazorg is sold a scarab-beetle wonder drug. At first, this drug revives Lazorg's art career, but eventually it takes him out of this world—quite literally, in fact.
Worldly Problems
Now, what if addicts and cartels weren't the whole story? What if the entire world was using drugs? In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, for instance, everyone pops the government-sponsored happy-pill called soma.
The Giver by Lois Lowry takes this one step further by creating a world where drugs no longer just distort reality, but replace it all together. A whole society is founded on taking pills every day to suppress biological urges.
One thing that is clear both in fantasy and in real life is that it's certainly best to stay away from drugs—but if you're merely a reading junkie, feel free to get your book fix with these great sci-fi fantasy stories!

This is one of those movies that shows the lives of its characters intersecting in the most brief and coincidental ways, à la Short Cuts. We have Matthew McConaughey as a hotshot lawyer, Clea DuVall as a housecleaner, John Turturro as a physics teacher, etc., and all of them employ different philosophies on life and fate. (Most of them are existentialists, however, because their lives suck shit.) For the first half of the film, everyone runs around contemplating the hands they've been dealt, and the script verges on sophomoric, but very endearing. Then, Alan Arkin shows up in the middle of the movie and kicks ass all over it. He plays a divorced middle manager for an insurance company, whose son is a junkie, and his view on of fate is accordingly grim. But Alan Arkin is a great actor; he saves the film from its fate as yet another "arty," low-budge, postmodern interpretation of existentialism. Instead, 13 Conversations is charming and even sweet in its cynicism. (Julianne Shepherd)
* Austin Powers: Goldmember
Austin is ready for the jelly when he gets to shag Beyonce Knowles from Destiny's motherfucking Child. See review this issue.
The Believer
A Jewish student in New York City struggles to understand Judiasm.
The Country Bears
Disney's flawless live-action legacy continues, in this moving adaptation of everyone's favorite former Disneyland animatronic attraction. (I'm still holding out for a theatrical release of Captain EO). Featuring Christopher Walken, Toby Huss, and the voice of "I see dead people."
The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course
Steve Irwin has somehow managed to volley his agonizing nature show into what promises to be an equally excruciating action-adventure film. The premise goes something like this: Steve wrestles a croc ("crikey!"), Steve involves himself in a wacky mix-up ("crikey!"), Steve is bitten by things ("crikey!"), Steve creates hilarity ("crikey!"), Steve gets a pink slip ("crikey!"), Steve receives and eviction notice ("crikey!").
* Doggie Film Day
Alright doggie dorks, put your doggie sweaters and doggie booties on your doggies and throw on your "I love my retriever" T-Shirt and go watch doggie movies while you simultaneously pet your doggie and pull on that little doggie in your pants with excitement for how much you love doggies.
* Dogtown and Z Boys
A documentary on surfers turned skateboarders who started the boarding craze and meanwhile got famous. A tad self-referential, but still worth seeing for the life threatening guerilla surfing and skating and the boys divergent reactions to fame. (Katie Shimer)
Eight Legged Freaks
A messy mish-mash of '50s paranoid propaganda films, but instead of the Commies, it's the Iraqi menace, get it? Spiders, Arachnids, Arac Attack. Ug!! The film rips off all the good elements of classic scare films such as Dawn of the Dead, Gremlins and Them, and pieces them together with boring computer animation and insipid dialogue I wouldn't let my grandma write. So save your hard-earned unemployment check and wait until this one is on the UPN Saturday Matinee, that way you can fall asleep in the comfort of your own home. (Brian Brait)
The Emperor's New Clothes
It's 1828 and Napoleon's in trouble! He's got to get off the island of St. Helena! He escapes by trading places with a lookalike deckhand on a ship bound for France. But the ship may not make it. What's worse, everyone thinks the lookalike is the real emperor, and the lookalike digs it! Our hero is forced to carry on with the knowledge that an imposter is lying in his bed and wearing his little costumes.
Halloween: Resurrection
Hang on a second... this is ANOTHER Halloween film? That makes eight. Jamie Lee Curtis is in it, too, along with Busta Rhymes. The last one (Halloween H20 was garbage, as were the rest. So, the fact that this one deals with reality TV bodes what? Ill!
The Happiness of the Katakuris
With spoofs of The Sound of Music and tons of naked sumo wrestlers, director Takashi Miike establishes himself as the John Waters of Japan. A story about an odd family that opens a B&B, only to have bad, horrible, mangling luck befall their guests. But, the story is beside the point. The tastelessness is the centerpiece.
Happy Times
Hey, it's the ever-pervasive "situation comedy." Among the pleasures this Chinese incarnation of the form promises you, beloved viewer, are: an abandoned and refurbished bus, lovestruck couples, and frustrated desires.
Hey Arnold
A cartoon movie about a cartoon TV show. It's about time, too! I'm guessing Arnold is a nerd who outsmarts some greedy capitalists.
* Insomnia
Al Pacino plays Will Dormer, a hotshot homicide cop from L.A., who travels to a small town in Alaska to help solve the brutal murder of a 17-year-old girl. However, as it turns out, the real reason for his arrival is to escape a murky internal investigation back in Los Angeles. When Dormer's partner is accidentally killed while chasing after the murderer, Dormer is then drawn into an unholy alliance with the suspect (Robin Williams), who has developed a convincing scheme that will make both of their problems go away. (Wm. Steven Humphrey)
K-19: The Widowmaker
This workable Cold War intrigue plot--a Soviet nuke-sub commander is forced to risk the lives of his men rather than seek help from Americans--is long to begin with, but the moral tensions of the story might have been enough to carry it through... if the film weren't completely submarined by the casting of Harrison Ford in the lead role. I mean, Liam Neeson as a Russian is bad enough. We've all seen Schindler's List. We all know Neeson can't do accents. He's a known quantity. But Ford's pitiful patois makes Neeson look like Meryl Streep. It's embarrassing on a Kevin Costner scale; on a Sofia Coppola in Godfather III scale. I mean, what the fuck? Did he think we wouldn't notice? Jesus, what a botch. (Sean Nelson)
Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India
It's 1893 and the people of Champagne are destitute because the rains never came and thus, they have no crops. They are praying that the evil Brits will excuse them from the land tax (lagaan) because they have no money. Instead, however, British commander, Capt. Russell, doubles the tax because the local Raja--a strict vegetarian--will not eat meat with him. Later, the short-whimed Russell agrees to waive the tax for three years if the villagers can beat his officers at cricket--but will triple it if they can't. A comical adventure ensues.
Late Marriage
Zaza is a 31-year-old man, getting his doctorate in philosophy. His parents keep hounding him to get married and set up multiple meetings with young virgins--keeping with their tradition. Zaza, however, is in love with a Moroccan woman with a daughter, and keeping his parents at bay is a continual struggle.
Like Mike
The good news: Crispin Glover is in the film, playing the Fagin-like head of a "group home" for racially diverse orphans; this means the filmmakers aren't completely callous morons. The bad news: the movie, which concerns a kid who climbs up on power lines to retrieve some magic Nikes that make him a pro basketball star, is every bit as mediocre and irresponsible as the trailer suggests.
lilo & stitch
An animated film about a Hawaiian girl, who adopts a dog, who falls to earth near her island home (and who is really an alien genetic experiment). She embraces her new pet and teaches him "ohana"-the "Hawaiian concept of family." Good thing the dog wasn't a white tourist...
* Lovely and Amazing
This follow-up to the similarly graceful Walking and Talking is a shrewdly respectful character study of a fractured family of women trying to ride herd on their raging neuroses. Fantastic acting and sensitive writing underscore the simple DV directorial approach. (Sean Nelson)
* The Magnificent Welles
A dramatization of Orson Welles attempt to get control of his second film project The Magnificent Ambersons and how his battle with the studio led to his ruin.
* Master of the Flying Guillotine
In Master of the Flying Guillotine (1974), the One Armed Boxer (OAB) returns to battle an opponent who refuses to have his beans refried. While Flying Guillotine may look like just another old blind coot, in actuality, he's a high-kickin' get-up-and-go grampa who has a flying hat he uses to chop off his enemy's heads! So after receiving news that two of his disciples have been done in by OAB, he gets madder than a poodle in a pigpen and storms off to get revenge.
Minority Report
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise team up for this well-made futuristic thriller, based on a story by Phillip K. Dick, and featuring several special effects that are identical to ones used in Attack of the Clones. Complex in good ways, simple in others, the film marks Spielberg's second attempt at allegorical Kubrick paean.
Mr. Deeds
Adam Sandler is always cute, and his gross physical humor is funny, but Mr. Deeds is bad. A cliche plot and a crappy remake to boot, Sandler seems to be doing it for the dough. John Turturro, however, is awesome and sort of makes up for the overall crappiness of the film, but then Winona goes and fucks it up by being the worst actress ever. (Katie Shimer)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
A frumpy diamond in the rough (Nia Vardalos) goes against the wishes of her lovingly oppressive family and falls for a hunky WASP (John Corbett, coasting on his Sex & The City vibe) in this intermittently amusing Grecian yarn.
One of the most seminal dance choreographers (you're not nicknamed "God of the Dance" for nothing!) but crazy as a jaybird, Vaslav Nijinski molds modern ballet with his passion. With performers and images from the Russian and Australian ballets, the film is a beautiful and haunting biography.
* Poona the Fuckdog
Described as bedtime stories for grown-ups, Poona the Fuckdog and Other Plays for Children is that and so much more. It is an X-rated morality play that touches upon every evil of American society: sexuality reduced to commodity, rampant consumerism, slavery to mass media, the desensitization of children through animated violence, consequence-free murder, nuclear holocaust, racism, classism, and all that other fun junk. And it does this without ever reducing itself to wagging its finger in your face. Poona reinvents every social cliché as if it were a naughty and very funny joke told by an intelligent kindergartner. It is smart, bold, and insightful, poignant without being preachy, and meaningful without being sappy. Not to mention shit-yourself hysterical. (Adrian Ryan)
The Powerpuff Girls
This movie sets out to explain the suspicious circumstances by which Professor X (the Puff Daddy) came to give room and board to three female preschoolers for whom he carries not so much as a birth certificate or a even a receipt--somewhat unsettling in these times of high-profile kidnapped white girls.
* Pumpkin
At first, I thought this Christina Ricci vehicle about the consequences that occur when an uptight sorority girl falls in love with a "challenged athlete" was a savage parody of those "Something About a Half-Wit" films that grind the butts of the mentally retarded for cheap laughs from audiences who should know better. By the time I was in the ladies room, I'd revised my opinion to include the possibility that this was actually sophisticated spoof of those ubiquitous Channel for Weeping Women films that seek to beatify retarded people simply for being born. It wasn't until I was sitting in my car that the possibility occurred to me that it was neither. What if it was just a bunch of retard jokes hiding behind a cloaking device of intellectualized irony? Does that mean I'm going to hell for laughing my head off? (Tamara Paris)
* Red Rock West
The ultimate shaggy-dog story: Just released from prison, Nicolas Cage tries to jump start his life. But he is quickly hoodwinked into a plan to murder a beautiful woman's overbearing (but stinking rich) husband. Dennis Hopper weighs in with a foaming-at-the-mouth, over-the-top performance as a freewheeling hitman. The film was originally released straight to video, but after a San Francisco movie house screened the film to sold-out crowds, it was picked up by a major distributor and given a second life. A nearly lost gem!
Reign of Fire
This is one useless movie. It's the year 2020, and instead of picking flowers and falling on their butts, a brood of flying dragons have burnt most of the human population to a bunch of crispy bits. Christian Bale (American Psycho) stars as a limey wuss who hides out in a castle along with a bunch of other limey wusses, until an AMERICAN comes along (McConaughey) and teaches them how to FIGHT. And hat's pretty much it. The good points: The cinematography is okay, there are a couple of laughs, and McConaughey is built like a brick shithouse. The bad points: EVERYTHING ELSE. (Wm. Steven Humphrey)
Rendam: Quartet for Two
Part of NW Film Center's love affair this summer with Japanese films, Rendam proves that, yes, Japanese nuclear families can meltdown just as easily as American ones. If John Hughes were to have directed a Japanese double feature: A comic, musical, and heart-tugging story all hand-rolled into one big cinematic sashami. With her husband distracted too much by his work, a stunning wife gets busy with a co-worker. As mom and dad's marriage falls apart, the kids worry about custody of their beloved pianos!
* Road to Perdition
Starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jude Law--a ridiculously stellar ensemble--Road to Perdition tells a rather simple tale, and it tells it nearly perfectly. A hit man (Tom Hanks) sees his family slaughtered, save for his oldest son. Father and son hit the road to exact revenge. Perdition transcends every revenge film currently documented within my brain. Mendes, working once again with Conrad Hall has fashioned a heartfelt, exquisite, and above all, patient revenge epic. (Bradley Steinbacher)
* Sharkskin Man and Peach Hip Girl
If you like Tarantino films, you'll like this Japanese fashion and color action explosion. Girl meets boy, guns are fired, fucked up sex stuff ensues, people kill other people and laugh, there's a heist, chases, escapes, lust, hotties galore, and of course, as I may have mentioned, smoking Japanese fashion. The film is quite humorous in a grim Hemingway sense and supercool to watch. (Katie Shimer)
* Some Body
A relationship movie where men act like the whiney dicks they really are. Yep, that was supposed to be sexist. See review this issue.
* Spellbound
Behind the scenes at the national junior high spelling bee... the laughter, the tears, and if their lucky, the hopes and dreams of young kids dashed at an early age, thus protecting them from a life of false hope. See review this issue.
* Straight
The taped version of David Schmader's one man play that attacks homo-conversion therapy and makes you laugh like a little girl.
Stuart Little 2
Stuart Little is a cute little cartoon mouse with Parkinson's... wait, didn't we use that joke already? Anyway, cats and CGI mice channel the voices of Nathan Lane, Michael J. Fox, and Steve Zahn.
The Sum of all Fears
Despite all appearances, there are two good things about the new Tom Clancy movie with Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan. One is a bold plot twist that comes so suddenly that it reconfigures the whole experience in an instant and almost tricks you into thinking the film is better than it is. The other good thing, almost a great thing, is the casting of Liev Scrheiber in the role of John Clark, CIA spook, and all-around spy genius.
* Sunshine State
This cinematic soap opera of familial and neighborly drama centers around a small stretch of Florida coastline. Employing writer/director Sayles' benchmark standards for dialogue and acting, the film uses a tug of war over prime resort real estate to showcase prime human flaws and insecurities.
Like most 15-year-old boys who acquire Sigourney Weaver as their stepmom, Oscar wants to doink his new mom. But for the sake of efficacy and realism, he's willing to consider her friend Bebe Neuwirth as a fall-back.
* Video Slam
Show your own, and watch four minute amateur videos made after May 15 of this year. Call 242-1047 to pre-register and ask questions.
Vinyl is one notch above awful. Although the idea of spotlighting vinyl obsessives is a great idea, the film never really stays on task, with director Alan Zwieg more concerned with his own painfully boring, unfunny neuroses (he spends most of the extremely long film talking to himself in a mirror) than with the ins and outs of collectors. (Julianne Shepherd)

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Intellectual property law firm Brinks Gilson & Lione's Washington, D.C. office has again this year received high recognition in IAM Patent 1000—The World's Leading Patent Practitioners, placing in the Bronze Band in the Washington, D.C. metro area for patent litigation.
The IAM Patent 1000, now in its third edition, shines a spotlight on the best-in-class patent prosecution, licensing and litigation practitioners and firms. Firms qualify for a listing on the basis of their depth of expertise, market presence and the level of work on which they are typically engaged.
IAM noted in its rankings that Brinks does a great job maintaining the utmost standards in both prosecution and litigation services, and that with its skill mix, the firm is ideally suited to post-grant work and finds itself in high demand in the post-America Invents Act environment. The publication cites the firm's mastery of the electrical arts and its recruitment of marquee names from the International Trade Commission (ITC) as foundations of its 'muscular Section 337 practice,' and notes that medical device and biopharmaceutical litigation are also strongholds for the contentious division.
The IAM Patent 1000 also singled out Brinks attorney Carl C. Charneski, who joined Brinks' Washington office in 2011 and was identified by market sources for his exceptional skill sets and profound insights into patent matters. The publication notes that Charneski's experience as a former ITC administrative law judge has been a boon to clients embroiled in ITC actions. "Transitioning from government service into the private sector can be a hard thing to do, but Charneski has made a real triumph of it."
The IAM Patent 1000 seeks to produce the definitive list of the world's leading patent experts on the basis of feedback received from over 1,500 telephone interviews with attorneys and in-house counsel. It is published by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM), a magazine that seeks to address the need for organizations to maximize the value of their IP and other intangibles, and to examine the strategies they can put in place to do this. The publication targets in-house counsel, senior executives, law firms, patent and trademark agents, academics, investors, and others who work with intellectual property.

Autograph collection additions: Gene Clines & Jamey Carroll
Last month, I asked you to help me organize my baseball cards by making trades that let me clear out some of my unneeded ones. Gary sent me a pair of autographed cards in exchange for a stack of Oakland Athletics.
Gene Clines spent 10 years in the major leagues, but his playing career was before my time. He is probably best remembered for his time in Pittsburgh, where he won a World Series ring in 1971. Clines also played for the Cubs and Texas Rangers in addition to the Mets. In 1979, Clines retired as a player and immediately became the Cubs' first base coach. He's remained in baseball since then, taking coaching jobs and front office positions with the Astros, Mariners, Brewers, Giants and Dodgers.
Jamey Carroll spent parts of 14 seasons in the major leagues despite not making his major league debut until the age of 28. Carroll started at second base in the Montreal Expos' last game in 2004 and was part of the original Washington Nationals team in 2005. He also played for the Colorado Rockies, Cleveland, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City Royals. Carroll went to spring training with the Nationals this year, but did not make the team.
