DALY: Where has this been all season?
If the Washington Redskins played every game with the emotion they displayed Sunday against the New England Patriots, their season might have turned out differently. Not differently enough to put them in the playoffs, perhaps, but differently enough to cut down on the cries of despair from their fans as one defeat was piled atop another.
Jabar Gaffney was so excited to catch a touchdown pass against his former club that he did the FedEx Leap into the stands behind the end zone. Granted, he got a little too much lift and landed in the seats instead of on the ledge, but these things can happen when you're going toe to toe with one of the NFL's elite.
As the day went on, other Redskins released their Inner Child — showed, as Rex Grossman put it, that "it's fun to go out there and play football." Whether it was hurling themselves into the crowd after scores, twirling the ball on the ground after first downs or otherwise celebrating big plays, the Redskins didn't hold anything back.
"We were pumped up," Gaffney said. "Had a good team coming in here, a chance to show we could play with the best."
For 60 minutes, the last-place Redskins did play with the best, too. Indeed, with 1:09 left, they thought they had tied New England 34-34 on a 5-yard TD throw from Grossman to Santana Moss. Alas, Moss was called for pushing off, and Grossman's next pass went off Moss' hands and into those of Jerod Mayo, the Patriots' Pro Bowl linebacker. Thus did one of the most entertaining Sundays in many moons at FedEx Field end in a 34-27 loss.
But back to our original "if." Where has this fight, this feistiness been all season? The Redskins, after all, had no business being in this game in the fourth quarter. They were already without Fred Davis and Trent Williams because of suspensions and assorted others (e.g. LaRon Landry) because of injuries; then Jammal Brown, one of their few semihealthy offensive linemen, further complicated matters when he tweaked his groin in warm-ups and couldn't play.
It figured to be a long day, especially after New England took a quick 7-0 lead on a defensive touchdown (set up by old friend Andre Carter's sack/forced fumble). There just didn't seem to be any way the offense-challenged Redskins could keep up with the high-scoring Pats, who put up 30 points against just about everybody.
But no one likes to be embarrassed, and surely that was in the back of the Redskins' minds as they geared up for New England. The Patriots, during their near-perfect 2007 season, had whomped them 52-7, and they were quite capable of whomping them just as badly this season. Tom Brady, last I checked, is still Tom Brady, Wes Welker is still Wes Welker … and Rob Gronkowski is like no tight end you've ever seen.
So the Redskins brought their A game — or what's left of their A game, after all these casualties — and, miraculously, matched New England score for score. The biggest shock was seeing Grossman and Co. gain chunks of yardage, something they haven't done all year. In their second series, Grossman lobbed a 51-yard bomb to Donte Stallworth to set up a Graham Gano field goal. Not long afterward, Brandon Banks connected with Moss on an end-around pass for a 49-yard TD that put the home team ahead 17-14.
A trick play. Imagine that. It was the first pass, in fact, since Mike Shanahan took over as coach that wasn't thrown by a quarterback. Yup, the Redskins came at the Patriots with everything they had, spiritually and strategically. And lo and behold, it enabled them to hang with a club that's in the running for the first seed in the AFC.
It helped, of course, that they caught Brady on one of those rare afternoons when he actually looks mortal — at times. Brady's numbers were still terrific (22 of 37 for 357 yards and three touchdowns), but he was off target more than usual and was intercepted in the end zone by Josh Wilson in the late going when he had a chance to put the game away. (Though, in his defense, the pass was well within the reach of receiver Tiquan Underwood, who was outbattled for the ball).
Then there's the New England secondary — nothing special to begin with — which, because of injuries, has been forced to use wideouts (Matthew Slater and Julian Edelman) to cover opposing receivers. Gaffney, Stallworth and Moss were running free all day, as Washington (293) just missed becoming the ninth team this season to throw for 300 yards against the Patriots.
Incredibly, it was there for the taking for the Redskins. Shanahan said he was even considering going for the two-point conversion — and the win — if Moss' touchdown hadn't been called back. The coach and his players were leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory.
Hallelujah. But why couldn't the first 12 games have been like that? Why did it take utter desperation — and a visit from Bill Belichick's wrecking crew — for the Redskins to play the way they should have been playing all along?

Fake council email scam conning people into paying parking tickets
12:58pm Friday 19th October 2012 in News By Hermione Wright
An email scam has been set up to con people into paying a fake parking ticket to Haringey Borough Council.
An email, which looks like a genuine council email, is being sent to people in the borough asking for money to pay a parking Penalty Charge Notice.
However, the website contained in the email has nothing to do with the council and may also contain a virus.
The council, which does not send out emails asking for parking ticket payments, is urgently working to have the website closed down.

Obama's 'Green Jobs' Mirage

In recent weeks, President Obama has cranked up his commitment to federal subsidies for "green" energy in the face of accumulating defaults by the politically connected companies. "I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy," he recently declared.
The President can make grand pronouncements, but the results of his green energy efforts have been paltry in terms of jobs and industry growth--and fiscal irresponsibility.
And now his campaign team has distorted the green energy truth. A new 30-second TV spot released by the campaign credits Obama for "2.7 million workers" employed in clean energy.
This statistic is jerry-built. Its mendacity is all the more ironic given that the spot begins by accusing clean-energy critics of making claims that are "not tethered to the facts."
That 2.7-million figure comes from a Brookings Institute study that broadly defines a clean energy job as one "that produces goods or services with an environmental benefit."
That encompasses a lot of jobs unrelated to windmills or solar panels, including sanitation workers, bus drivers, and those in "waste management." In reality, just 29,000 Americans work in solar energy.
Further, the figure represents the total number of green tech jobs in this country -- most created before Obama took office. He can't take credit for them.
Obama's ad also neglects to mention that green jobs expanded annually at just 3.4 percent between 2003 and 2010, significantly below the overall economy's 4.2 percent growth.
The real figure could be the Council of Economic Advisers' estimate that the 2009 stimulus package generated 224,500 new green-tech jobs. And at a cost to jobs elsewhere in the economy, leaving taxpayers-qua-consumers with a hole in their pocket.
Still, even a corrected-for figure is paltry compared to, say, the 13 million unemployed, or the 9.2 million jobs supported by domestic oil and natural gas.
Despite the President's grand promises and slick ads, green energy won't revive the economy. Wind, solar, and batteries have little to show for massive taxpayer support. In some cases, taxpayers just get a huge bill after the firm goes bankrupt (e.g. Solyndra, Ener1, Range Fuels, Beacon Power Corp., etc.).
It's the oil and natural gas industry that can launch a resurgent American jobs market. Oddly but encouragingly, Obama has started to acknowledge this inconvenient truth. During the State of the Union, he promised to "open more than 75 percent of our potential offshore oil and gas resources" for development.
That's a good start. But these promises have to be backed with hard-and-fast reforms.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, under current policy Gulf offshore production will drop one-third by next year. Permitting of western federal lands declined 13 percent. And the Obama administration just rejected the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have transported oil from Canada to Texas with an estimated 20,000 new jobs.
Such blockage creates upside, though A study from consulting firm Wood Mackenzie found just simple reforms -- including improving regulations, expanding development access and raising permit rates -- could create a million or more new jobs by 2030 and generate $800 billion in economic activity.
Tapping into this potential requires the President to make good on his State of the Union promise. But he can't stop there.
The House is considering new legislation -- the "American Energy Infrastructure Act" -- that would tie domestic energy to high priority infrastructure projects. Importantly, the bill opens up tracts of Alaska and offshore territories to exploration. And speeds the development of shale resources.
The President should get behind the Act, as well as opening and streamlining the process for leasing and permitting areas for development.
Grand "green" energy promises might make for good headlines. But there's scant evidence the industry will live up. The true path to sustainable growth is right here at home when it comes to oil and natural gas.

Yes, and remember that Cuellar also voted for Obamacare...that right there disqualifies in my mind anything that he has to say or do. You are right, we don't have to depend on the combustion engine. I hear that there has been great advances in inline roller skates. Also, there are some nifty bicycles now. And, any well fed horse/donkey/mule and wagon will get you almost anywhere you want to go as long as you have water and grain/hay for them. And, how about walking? That works well. There are billions and billions (estimated to be over 1 trillion in the USA) of barrels of petroleum that provide plastics, gas, and a multidude of marvelous products that are the results of billions of Research and development dollars and efforts. And, there is also eythanol/diesel/natural gas that work well with the combustion engine.
So, I believe that we should do the damned most stupid idiotic thing we can think of and stop using the combustion engine and forget about all the other procucts it makes. We can use foot power to get places (along with the other modes mentioned above), we can go back to building log cabins (that is if the tree huggers will let us) cause tents contain petroleum by products, and try to grow our own veggies with that mule and a one row plow. And, please do not try to kill wild animals for protein or PETA will be down on you big time. And, when you are growing those veggies remember that there will not be any pesticides to eradicate bugs so you'll have to find organic disinfectants or grow a whole lot more veggies figuring that much of the crop will be lost to bugs. And, get out the old 'Home Cures for Dummies' cause the parmaceutical industry are really bad guys and we don't need all those drugs anyway.
"Daniel", do you even realize how idiotic your statement is? it's people like you, Cuellar, and all those other Socialist/Communist in
Washington that call themselves Progressive Democrats that have caused a lot of problems and will create a lot more before we can clean you.
Why does there seem to be so many fools out there that think they know what is best for other people? I'll bet Daniel would not like it if I came to his home and started running his home, his life, arrange his schedule and tell him how he will spend his money (that's what Cuellar and Buddies want to do).
I'm fed up with Stupidity!

When you are asking readers to consider the entire material demands of a combustion engine, you automatically assume our only option of transportation is just that, a combustion engine first invented in the 13th century - and widely used as a transportation means since before 1900. We are not limited by the use of oil, nor are we obligated to use every bit of every byproduct of drilling either. And I would also like to point out that Henry Cuellar has shown time after time his support for an all of the above energy approach, by voting twice to allow oil drilling in ANWR, voting countless times in favor of offshore production, and fighting the EPA every step of the way on expensive needless regulations. We must certainly use the resources available to us, as doing so will keep costs down for all Americans, and Mr. Cuellar has a long history of doing just that.

With my "miracle" run, this hit me, in the center of my heart!! "I am beginning to understand that faith is not the way around pain, it is the way through pain. Faith doesn't get rid of the opposition, it invites it over for dinner. Faith doesn't give you the winning point at the last second, it ties the game and sends you into overtime. Faith doesn't give you the solution, it forces you to find it." - Mike Yaconelli (Susan Lehman/Team Alpha, from Hosanna, sent this to me) Our God is faithful, and He loves us! I know He saw each one of us, as we ran or walked! He answered every prayer, we prayed! As I took that first step, standing next to my training partners, and sister; my faith locked, knowing, believing, trusting that God was going to see me through every mile! He flooded my heart with promise after promise, to stand on! Like; Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." AND 20 "God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me." (Eph. 3:20) AND Philippians 4:13 "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." I had injured my knee running. I would ice it, cut way back on training...I had many praying for me, and some prayed with me. Some of my closest friends, would come up to me, and say things, like, "I know you are going to run", or "God is going to heal you, when you take your first step". I tucked these words away in my heart. I struggled with where to position my faith...you know, like, how do I apply, 'lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him.' Or, do I just say, "it's ok, I won't run, I will be there for the Team." Or, " God is going to miraculously heal me, and I am going to run (O how I wanted this with every fiber of my being). Do I go to the Doctor, Chiropractor, cry,?, etc...I knew I needed to make a decision. I decided, through prayer, and the Word, that I was going to ask and believe for a miracle. I wanted to finish! The desire to run this race, would not leave me, and the more I read the Word, and prayed, the stronger my Faith for God to do something extraordinary, would be. My faith needed to be bigger than what I was seeing and feeling in the natural. I wanted to walk (run) by faith and not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we live by faith, not by sight". I went to bed the night before; my spirit wrestling with my flesh! At 7:43 AM, I stood in line with 720 other runners, waiting to run 13.1 miles, my knee felt good, and my faith in our BIG GOD, was huge! My running buddy, led our team, right then, and there in prayer. At 7:45 AM, I took my first step, and God brought me all the way to the Finish!
All praise and glory to HIM who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think!!
How do I get involved in Team Alpha? >>

Rebel Wilson
Page Tools
Rebel Wilson, Melbourne Town Hall, $13-$18, until April 17
Sydney comedian Rebel Wilson, better known as Toula from SBS's Fat Pizza, is continuing her tradition of ethnically risque humour.
Rebel describes her school days, when she was teased mercilessly by socialite Erica, and her only friend was a schizophrenic lunch lady.
Determined to go to a country where she could fit in better, she goes on exchange to post-apartheid South Africa.
As a representative of Australia, Rebel describes having to be so patriotic she was "defending Kylie Minogue's acting career".
Her moves to work at a rape crisis centre end in disaster, and life with a racist host family leaves her in some unusual situations.
The show is a mixture of spoken comedy, song-and-dance routines and home videos.
It was always going to be a tough gig for a white Sydneysider to poke fun at Africans and a host of other ethnic groups, and Rebel had mixed success on stage.
While at times she had the room chuckling, the routine ultimately failed to win over the small crowd.

INTRODUCTIONMy dear Sisters and Brothers,
Today we come humbly into the presence of our God to encounter the wonders of his mercy and to recognise the studies undertaken by some Pastoral Associates to fit them better for the mission that they undertake in building up the kingdom of God, together with the priests and people of our parishes.
So that we may humbly allow the power of Christ to shine through us, let us call to mind our sins that we will be transformed by the grace of Christ.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Today we are united in God's church acknowledging one Lord, one faith, and our common baptism. Along with those whom he calls by ordination other lay people are called to co-operate in the Church's mission and to bring their gifts as lay people to build up the Church of God.
Back in 1975 Pope Paul VI asked the question of how the people of today are to be brought to encounter the Gospel. I am deeply aware of the many ways in which Pastoral Associates exercise the mission of presenting the attractiveness of the Gospel to so many other people; by leadership of parish groups, teaching and organising, personal counselling, ministering to people in suffering and distress and bereavement, and in the myriad of ways in which they build up the life of the parish.
Pastoral Associates bear witness to the great truth proclaimed by Paul VI and John Paul II that the top priority of the Church is presenting the attractiveness of the Gospel to the people of our time. John Paul II even described it as the most important part of the Church's mission in our time and went on to remind us of six things.
1. The New Evangelisation comes from a deep personal encounter with Christ.
2. It is the responsibility of the entire people of God.
3. It is not just for the foreign missions.
4. It is directed to individuals and whole cultures.
5. It is not limited to the presentation of the basic Gospel message.
6. It calls for a missionary spirituality.
Fundamental to all this is a personal encounter with Christ. Evangelisation is a clear proclamation that in Jesus Christ salvation is offered to all people as a gift of God's grace and mercy. It is not merely a matter of passing on doctrine, but rather of a personal and profound meeting with the Saviour.
He stresses the value of what Pastoral Associates are doing when he says: "The mission to the nations is carried out in a variety of ways and is the task of all the Christian faithful."
Many of us would know that it is not merely teaching Christ to those who have never known him, or building up communities which are already strong, but it involves re-engaging those who have walked away from the Church, whether as adolescents or adults, and seeking to present the Gospel to them in a way which is relevant to their lives.
All of this would only be possible if each of us has a personal encounter with Christ and allows him to touch and transform us, to fill us with enthusiasm from knowing that the Gospel is Good News for us, so our desire to share it is so strong that we would invite other Christians to respond with generosity and holiness.
What I would encourage from the generosity of Pastoral Associates is a regular faithfulness to prayer and an enthusiasm and hope in the Gospel. I have deep gratitude for the multitude of tasks which you perform to support our priests and people. In many ways you are the lynchpin engaging all in our parishes to work together to know and love Jesus Christ, to witness to him and to present in ever new and attractive ways the call that he gives.
Thank you for your constant generosity and for all that you are doing to build up the Church. Your living of the baptismal vocation and of the missionary challenge of the Gospel is something for which I admire and thank you.
+ Denis J. HartARCHBISHOP OF MELBOURNE.

Marvel Producer to Produce Movie Based on Metal Gear VG Series
Avi Arad, known for producing such super-hero blockbusters as Iron Man, Spider-Man (Original Trilogy AND "Amazing" Reboot), and X-Men, announced that he will be producing a movie based on the Metal Gear video game franchise.
Some long-time fans of the games are anxious upon hearing the news, as video games don't always translate well to the silver screen, but Metal Gear series creator, Hideo Kojima, believes Arad is the man help make a film that will satisfy long-time fans of the video games.
To allay any fears and speculation, it has been reported that Arad said through Twitter, "We will take our time and tell the story with all the nuances, ideology, and cautionary tales needed." This may be exactly the reassurance fans need as those familiar with the video game franchise know the rich depth of the narrative each game possesses.

This shrimp dish has just propelled itself into first place as our favorite appetizer small plate recipe. Butterflied, breaded and fried, and with a zesty Remoulade Sauce for dipping, it's a winner.
Carne Asada and Ruby
CSA, Monroe Organic Farms and Recipe to Use Summer Vegetables
I can't believe I'm writing a blog post about using up vegetables this early in our Colorado growing season. Hot temperatures arrived early this year bringing with it produce we don't normally see until July. So, vegetable preparation and consumption is officially in full swing in our kitchen. You see, we joined a CSA this year.
Cilantro Halibut
Flaky sweet Halibut is a perfect platform for this toasted cilantro and lime bread crumb topping. It's an elegant, easy and incredibly tasty dinner.
Beef Kabobs
Marinated and flavored with peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon juice, garlic and curry, this is our favorite Beef Kabob recipe.
I'm always confused on whether I kabob, kebob or k-bob. Most of the time I safely skewer as to not commit a culinary faux pas. Consulting dictionary.com, kabob seems to be the norm and I found we can use all "a's" and kabab or throw in a c and cabob. However we spell it, I'm very fond of "small pieces of meat or seafood seasoned or marinated and broiled, often with tomatoes, green peppers, onions, or other vegetables, usually on a skewer".
When I first started my blog, the reason for the project was to share recipes with friends and family, and to cook through my database and compile a final collection of bests and favorites. For example, I wanted to take the time to compare the five different beef kabob recipes that I had saved over the years, come up with a favorite and delete the impostors.
I've had this recipe for a long time, and it's a combination of a couple of different marinade ideas put into use when I didn't have ingredients to complete a recipe. Ad-libbed versions sometime turn into wonderful creations. I love the end flavor result and also the visual side of these skewers. Bright orange peppers, dark glossy cubes of beef separated by fresh green sticks of fragrant onions.
With curry as an ingredient, this is a natural served over rice, but for this meal we chose sauteed asparagus and black beans seasoned with cumin and jalapeno.
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 whole peppercorns
- ½ pound Top Sirloin Steak, cubed
- 1 orange bell pepper, cubed
- 6 green onions, green ends cut
- In a large plastic bag, place beef and marinate overnight. Reserve ¼ cup marinade to baste while cooking.
- Skewer beef, peppers and onion and grill 4 – 5 minutes until beef is done.
Beef Kabobs…It's What's for Dinner.
The CZAR'S Pinot Szechuan Sauce, Grilled Chicken Wings
Complex and loaded with exciting flavor, I used the CZAR's Gourmet Oregon Pinot Szechuan Sauce to glaze grilled party wings.
Spring Trip to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Estes Park, Colorado, Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. On our visit last Fall, I wrote a lengthy post about awe-inspiring scenery, the male elk that lined the roadsides and the food that I packed along for the stay in the cabin. Let's see what Springtime in the Rockies holds for this trip.
Green Rice
Shrimp and Mahi Mahi Kabobs with Jalapeno Butter
Man there's a lot going on in that photo. I may have used the wrong plate for this shot, ya think?
This is hands down my favorite recipe for grilling seafood. Shrimp and Mahi Mahi kabobs are marinated, skewered and grilled. In the center, you'll find my Green Rice, which will be my next recipe post.

Per capita income
Posted by The Mysterious H.C. on November 05, 1997 at 17:03:26:
In response to I'm game, written by Rachel on November 03, 1997 at 16:37:52
] ] Incidentally, Braudel gives the per capita income at this time as between 15 and 17 pounds. If anyone is interested, I'll try to copy out some of his discussion. It's from his 3 volume set on the rise of capitalism.
] Yes, do good Snarkhunter. I would like to hear more about this, because I don't know if it's just me, but this sounds like an awfully small number.
Actually, it's not really that low, because the cottagers, unskilled labourers, and humble workmen often made about £40 per year per family, or even slightly less (depending on exact location, situation, occupation, etc.), and they were the majority of the population. And of course the average calculated on a per capita basis will be less than on a per-family basis.
I have a detailed table of estimated incomes and population for 1801-1803 that I keep putting off inputing and converting to HTML, but you can see a simplified and less detailed version of this table near the end of http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/pre-faq.txt .

text: Synopsis The Remote Sensing Data Book provides a unique resource of all aspects of remote sensing for the expert and non-expert alike. Organised as a dictionary, it contains over 700 alphabetically-arranged and cross-referenced entries on how remote sensing works, what kinds of data are available, and the large number of satellites and instruments from which the information is obtained. As well as short technical definitions, it also includes longer essays and reviews to give an overview of the subject. Although not a textbook in itself, the data book will serve as a valuable addition to existing textbooks for undergraduates and graduate students on geography, environmental and earth science courses that include an element of remote sensing. It will also be an essential reference for researchers and research managers at all levels using spaceborne remote sensing methods to obtain information about the earth's land, sea, ice and atmosphere.

NASA Plans to Teach Online
NASA is considering creating a multiplayer online game which would simulate some of their missions. They are hoping that it might attract the next generation of astronauts and are seeking volunteer companies to invest in their idea by February 15. As they put it, "Virtual worlds with scientifically accurate simulations could permit learners to tinker with chemical reactions in living cells, practice operating and repairing expensive equipment, and experience microgravity."
NASA already has an island on Second Life called Co-Lab that may someday invite avatars to come along on future space missions. Perhaps willing organizations' avatars can meet their avatars for virtual lunch.

deeply touching
By stevethehalibut (6 reviews) from London , 14 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This is a really touching film about the true innocence of youth and the clash of values/ideals between a young lad trying to make his way in a tough New York suburb and his sweet loving grandmother who was born in the dominican republic in the 1930s. Brilliantly acted with great warmth, humour and a wonderful sense of naivety in a world where it seems that appearances are everything. The scene with Gran getting her saucepan stuck on the kitchen tap had me in stitches. And Juicy Judy is a complete babe.- Was this review helpful to you?

By gingerspike (432 reviews) from Grimsby , 05 Aug 2012Due to a morning of cycling & an afternoon of ale drinking, I am unable to review this film, as I fell asleep after five minutes. This is not a reflection of the film! My partner said it was quite a good, quirky film (my kind of film actually!). However, this was after I'd posted the DVD back!- Was this review helpful to you?

Good Quirky
By Ell1981 (169 reviews) from London , 10 Jan 2011Good film-liked the lack of over dramtisation. Gritty usually means shocking but not in this case. Had moments of humour but an overwhelming feeling of ackwardness and struggles with human relationships.- Was this review helpful to you?

Raising Victor Vargas
By emmylove (1 review) from Nottingham , 02 Jun 2009The first time I watched the film was when I was about 11 years old;
It has stuck in my mind ever since and i previously watched it another time at age 17.
I love the whole culture of this film, shows the unusual beauty of Harlem, New York.
It's a story of family, friendship and romance, and is quite an unusual flowing film.
I wouldn't say it's a film I'd watch over and over, but it's deffinately worth seeing once or twice, it's beautifully shot !
I personally love the whole meaning of the film and generally think the film is so sick, but i can imagine others to think it was okay. So i'm being realistic :).
It is deffinately worth seeing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well observed
By a customer from London , 07 Aug 2008I loved this movie. I empathised with all the characters in this simple, meandering, beautifully-told story. The ample use of hand held camera is always appropriate, all the acting is convincing, all the actors well cast, and the script is a delight. There are many funny moments which the director deftly draws out from the everyday situations portrayed. A real 'feel good', 'rites of passage' movie, dealing with universal life truths. Would appeal on many levels to a range of age groups.- Was this review helpful to you?

Sweet and natural and pleasing
By Savage (632 reviews) from London, England , 13 Jul 2007Sollett's attempt to show New York City youth in a naturalistic light is an almost complete delight, as we follow Victor's only slightly too-pat transition from swaggering Latino macho wannabe to genuine and sensitive boyfriend. The performances are fantastic, but it's the director's eye for background and his naturalistic mise-en-scene which make the picture so effective. I suspect that anyone who can remember what it was like to be sixteen and surrounded by family members who weren't always welcome will find this picture one to cherish.- Was this review helpful to you?

Confronted with the unblinking eyes of surveillance cameras, Michael Naimark believes he can hide in plain sight with the aid of a $1 laser pointer.
Mr. Naimark, a Silicon Valley artist and technologist, decided to try turning the tables on what he saw as the potential for Big Brother surveillance after the Sept. 11 attacks.
His is a Little Brother response: using inexpensive laser pointers to temporarily blind those omnipresent electronic eyes. He plans to post his 13-page, single-spaced treatise on the subject this week on his Web site, www.naimark.net.
''The question 'if a camera's aimed at me can I not be in the image?' became a haunting obsession,'' he said. ''The answer is yes.''
But in these security-conscious times, one person's civil liberties can be another's shortsighted anarchy.
''It's possible that Harry Potter's invisibility cloak may not be viewed as a good thing for the community,'' said Kevin Kelly, an editor at Wired magazine. ''We have laws prohibiting jamming police radar. It will be interesting to see if camera-jamming becomes illegal.''
