The Principles of GossipAuthor Catherine Pulsifer |
Gossip is the greatest abuse and waste of time and energy. Everyone adds on his or her own personal bias, interpretation, and bitterness. A Child's Game We used to play a children's game where we all sat in a circle and one person would whisper a sentence to the next person. By the time it was repeated again to the first person, the sentence was completely different! Gossip is based on the same principle. As Mom Use To Say People who spend their time finding fault or gossiping about others, are certainly not the kind of people you want as friends. Gossip is usually never the truth. And it is only one side, and as we all know there are two sides to every story. Those who gossip to you may also gossip about you. My Mother use to say, "If you can't say anything positive about someone, don't say anything." Nothing productive is ever achieved as a result of spreading, or listening to gossip. Don't waste your time! You can make more productive use of it. More Wisdom There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us.

title("Fraud In Oakland's Garbage Sweatshop")
When 70 workers walked out of a west
Oakland recycling facility August 21, they simply wanted a raise. But the increasingly
bitter East Bay strike uncovered, not just abusive working conditions and poverty wages,
but de facto municipal sanction of a garbage-sorting sweatshop, operated for years in
violation of its own city contract.
the strike ground on, investigation revealed that workers were cheated on wages for years,
while city councilmembers received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. To make
matters worse, David Duong, owner of the struck California Waste Solutions, hired
strikebreakers and attempted to resume operations, while city officials made excuses or
turned away in a city where labor boasts of its political clout.
after five weeks, the strike was resolved when workers were able to embarrass outgoing
Mayor Elihu Harris and other city councilmembers into intervening to put pressure on
Duong. But the conflict left unresolved the question of why, in a city which has just
adopted a living wage ordinance, a similar contract provision could go unenforced and
unmonitored for seven years.
operates from a huge concrete building stretching for a city block along Pine Street in
West Oakland, from 10th to 11th Streets. Fifty-six workers sort recycled trash at the
facility. In addition the company runs a dozen trucks through Oakland picking up discarded
plastic, paper, metal, and glass.
upheaval at California Waste Solutions began this spring, when its workers, almost
entirely immigrants from Mexico, decided to organize a union. "We were very unhappy
about the wages," explains Santos Valladares, a leader among the sorters.
"Almost everyone here makes $6.00 an hour. Just a handful are paid a little
also complained about conditions on the garbage line. There is no adequate eye protection
against dust and grit from the recycled materials, they say, or ventilation to remove the
stink of the refuse. Although the company provides gloves, workers still get cut. On the
picketline, Francisco Hernandez showed a deep gash in one of his fingers. "When a
glass bottle got stuck on the line, it cut right through my glove when I tried to get it
loose," he said. Other workers showed similar cuts, abrasions, and eye inflamations
they said were due to their job.
in 1998, Santos and his coworkers signed union cards with Local 6 of the International
Longshore and Warehouse Union, and petitioned for a representation election. According to
Valladares and other workers, however, Duong promised that the company would raise wages
if they voted against the union. Local 6 organizer Alfredo Flotte adds that rumors of an
immigration raid were spread as well.
Duong refused to be interviewed and calls to the company office were not returned.
the election was held in May, the union lost. Afterwards, says union member Ruben Antonio
Rivas, Duong took workers to lunch at a local restaurant as a reward.
workers wanted more than a free lunch, however. They began to pressure Duong to fulfill
his promises of a wage increase. Then Oakland passed the living wage ordinance this
summer, requiring city contractors to pay their employees $8.00/hour, in addition to
funding health benefits. "We went to him again. He said it didn't apply to us,"
Rivas recalled. In frustration, workers finally walked out on strike on August 21.
workers didn't know at the time, however, was that Duong had signed a contract with the
city in 1992, which obligated him to not only pay $8.00/hour for all work performed for
the city, but to provide medical and other benefits as well.
only that, but the city had basically set Duong up in business, giving him a loan of
$350,000 "for the express purpose of purchasing vehicles ... to be utilized in the
exclusive performance of this agreement." Oakland's curbside recycling program, set
up in 1992 just before he was given his contract, gave Duong a third of Oakland as a
territory for collecting trash and sorting it for recycling.
took the loan, bought the trucks, began collecting recycled trash, and started what became
a thriving and growing concern. But he never implemented the wage and benefit guarantees
for CWS workers. Once the strike
started, it drew immediate attention from city
officials, and City Councilmember Larry
Reid and Mayor Elihu Harris quickly volunteered to mediate a solution. In a meeting in
Reid's City Hall office on August 26, Duong agreed to recognize the union, based on
assurances from Reid and the Mayor that a majority of his employees had signed union
began on a contract and strike settlement. After a couple of days, however, they stalled
over wages and benefits. The union wanted a substantial wage increase for the workers, and
the company offered only a 50¢ increase, to $6.50/hour.
bargaining ground to a standstill, the company began hiring strikebreakers to drive its
trucks. "We were very upset when we saw Duong hiring almost entirely African-American
workers to break the strike. He hardly hired anyone from the African-American community
before that," said Local 6 business agent Roberto Flotte. "To us, that's racial
countered by picketing three huge shipping containers in the Port of Oakland, filled with
plastic trash, as they were about to be loaded on a container-ship bound for Asia. When
dockworkers, who also belong to the ILWU, threatened to walk off the ship, port
authorities told Duong to take his containers elsewhere.
negotiators were floored when they finally received a copy of the CWS contract with the
city, and discovered that it required CWS to "pay each person employed for the
performance of work pursuant to the contract" according to a set schedule of salaries
and benefits. That schedule specifies a wage of $8.00 for sorters, and further mandates
$2.60/hour for medical benefits, from 5 to 41cents/hour for pensions, five holidays, five
sickdays, from two to four weeks of vacation a year, and overtime rates after eight hours
in a day or 40 hours in a week.
July 15, 1997, Duong even signed a second, five-year agreement with the city which
contained the same salary provisions for sorters. "But they've been paying almost all
the sorters $6/hour," said Local 6 organizer Alfredo Flotte. "The company isn't
paying $2.60/hour for its medical plan, and many workers say they've been required to work
overtime at regular hourly rates."
each worker employed under city contract at $6.00/hour, the $2/hour underpayment amounts
to $4,000 per year considering wages alone--a potential backpay liablility of $28,000 per
person since the original 1992 agreement was signed. Underpayment of medical insurance,
overtime and other benefits would raise that bill much higher.
city agency in charge of enforcing the contract, Oakland's Public Works Agency, seemed
inexplicably unconcerned over the flagrant violation. Terry Roberts, the agency's
director, was unable to describe the process used for enforcing it, or explain why no
monitoring took place for seven years. "It didn't happen the way it should," he
commented laconically.
told the city council that he had requested payroll information from Duong, and begun
working with Mark Wald, a city attorney, to determine possible penalties for
non-compliance. But in a council meeting called at the peak of the strike, strikers and
their supporters in the audience sat agape as Roberts put forward a formula, not to
enforce the contract and recover money owed to both the city and the workers, but to
reduce it drastically.
proposed a formula for calculating Duong's backpay liability which would save the company
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Inside the sorting facility, he claimed, trash from
Oakland is mixed together with that collected in other local cities, including Sacramento,
Alameda and Clayton. The workers sort all the trash together. While it might seem that all
of them are therefore working on garbage collected under the city contract, Roberts
suggested that since other trash is included, workers only need to be paid $8/hour for
that proportion of the work done directly on city trash. If only 20 percentof the trash is
from Oakland, he guessed, instead of $2/hour backpay owed to every worker, Duong's
liability might be as little as 40¢.
lackadaisical attitude toward enforcement and the collection of penalties was compounded
by statements by the mayor. Mayor Elihu Harris also tried to minimize Duong's potential
backpay liability. "I understand that it's only the equivalent of about 10
workers" who are working directly under the city contract, he stated in an interview.
addition, both the mayor and councilmember Reid seemed unconcerned by the hiring of
strikebreakers. "He's caught between a rock and a hard place," Harris said.
"If he doesn't pick up the trash, he might lose the contract."
declared that Duong "has a business he has to run." He accused the union of
making unreasonable wage demands. California Waste Solutions, he said, "is just a
small, family-owned business trying to survive in a competitive market."
drivers said Mayor Harris even told them in a private meeting that the union's demands
were unreasonable. "He said that if the company accepted what the union was
proposing, they'd close within six months," recalled one driver, who was afraid to be
publicly identified.
solicitude on behalf of Duong became more understandable when it became public that he had
been a conduit for substantial campaign contributions to the campaigns of city officials.
Since 1994, David Duong and his family contributed over $25,000 to city election
campaigns, with the Mayor (at $6050) and Councilmember Reid (at $5250) the largest
hall connections went beyond contributions. Reid revealed in an interview that he is
godfather to one of Duong's children. Reid, the mayor and Duong all traveled together to
Vietnam on a city trade mission. Furthermore, Greg Kos, an aide to former city
councilmember Sheila Jordan (now newly elected County Superintendent of Schools), works at
the CWS west Oakland site.
before a September 1 city council meeting, ILWU Organizing Director Peter Olney accused
municipal officials of misplaced priorities. "The demands of these workers for a
decent wage which can support their families are completely just," he told
councilmembers. "They're only asking for what the city itself requires. Elected
officials should have enforced the city's own contract years ago, rather than finding
reasons today why the company shouldn't have to live up to its obligations."
mounted as city residents complained that trash wasn't being picked up, despite the
company's effort to continue operations with strikebreakers, and neighbors complained
about noise and pollution from the facility. Public embarassment of the mayor and Reid
eventually made it impossible for them to continue supporting Duong's hard-line effort to
break the strike.
on September 29, the Oakland City Council told Duong he was in danger of losing his city
contract entirely. Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente then brokered a settlement, and
Duong agreed to a contract including wage raises and better protection against the health
and safety dangers involved in sorting through discarded trash.
is a big victory for the strikers," said Roberto Flotte, business agent for Local 6.
He pointed to provisions in the new agreement which will give all CWS workers at least a
$1/hour increase. The entry-level wage will rise immediately from below $6.00 to
$7.00/hour, and then go up 30 cents/hour every year for the next five years.
The strike at CWS marked the latest in a
string of organizing successes for the union. Local 6 has established a community presence
and reputation among immigrant workers in the San Francisco Bay Area, as a result of
militant organizing drives and strikes based in the immigrant Mexican and Central American
community. With the support of the union, workers have battled immigration raids, led
workplace job actions over unsafe and unhealthy conditions, and won union recognition and
contracts covering hundreds of new members.
The CWS strike was the second instance in
which an immigrant workforce subjected to sweatshop conditions voted against union
representation in an election administered by the National Labor Relations Board, and then
spontaneously struck after conditions failed to improve afterwards.
"This strike was just the latest in
a wave of job actions by immigrant workers," said Local 6 organizer Alfredo Flotte.
"People are tired of sweatshop conditions, whether it's sorting garbage or working in

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, and prides itself on having large lakes, volcanic peaks, and lush rainforests.
Most of the Nicaraguan people are of mixed decent (called mestizos), resulting from European immigration beginning in the 1500s when bloodline began crossing between the Europeans and the Native Americans. The minority groups include Africans, Native Americans, and Europeans.
About 40 percent of the population is under the age of 15, largely due to a birth rate that greatly exceeds the death rate.
The majority of the Nicaraguan population identify themselves as Roman Catholic. While the Catholic Church has been present in Nicaragua since 1502, there was no Lutheran representation until 1998. Today there is a growing Lutheran church planting movement in the country started by the Lutheran Church - Canada. Close to 90% of the people in Nicaragua claim Christianity as their faith, yet many are "cultural" Christians who are simply baptized, married and buried in the Roman Catholic Church.
Nicaragua has a long history of religious freedom, which enables national believers and volunteers from other countries to freely express their love for Jesus. This freedom enables CALMS to support the national church and send short-term teams to the country.

Thursday, May 5th.
Cinco de Mayo. My grandmother's birthday. Day one of our spring Disney vacation. All told? A good day.
Unlike our October trip, the first day of our May trip started with me at work. Exciting! Actually, with all the adrenaline I had trying to get everything done by the time CP picked me up at noon, it was a fairly exciting morning. In the end it turned out I walked home from work a bit before noon, as CP was waiting for our new refrigerator to be delivered and needed some help with the last-minute packing. Amazingly we ended up ready to go ahead of schedule, dropped our housekeys off with our cat sitter, and we were on the road by 12:45.
Realizing we were hungry and that our flight wouldn't arrive in Orlando until after 7pm, we stopped off at a Panera for lunch, as the Hartford airport isn't exactly brimming with exciting (or even decent) lunch options. Soon we were back on the road, and within 40 minutes we were arriving at the airport. The thing I love about the Hartford airport is that you can park in long-term parking in a lot right across from the terminal, all for the price of $8 bucks a day – in the end, our parking for this trip cost less than it cost for one of us to take Amtrak one-way to the Newark airport for our October trip. (Thank you, JetBlue, for starting Hartford service!). By this time it was 2:30, our check-in went quickly and painlessly, and we had plenty of time to kill in an airport that offered few diversions. So, we wandered about, found a quiet bathroom in the airport hotel, and played games on our iPhones until we decided it was time to get through security and get to our gate.
We breezed through security painlessly, and I was delighted that we avoided full-body scanners given the uproar around them that had pervaded the news in the previous weeks. Once at our gate, I called to wish my grandmother a happy birthday; checked in with my mother; and generally enjoyed the people-watching you're guaranteed to find at a gate of people about to board a plane for Disney. (I mean, really – you have to figure 80-90% of people on our flight were Disney-bound. Why else do people go to Orlando?
For some reason I was feeling more nervous about this flight than ones on trips past. I had already taken my mother's little helper, but was still feeling it. Boarding the plane, I took a deep breath, and settled into my customary window seat a row or two behind the wing, the same place we sit just about every time we fly JetBlue. I should also mention that JetBlue is a MACHINE – they de-planed the flight before us, cleaned the plane, and boarded us within minutes, and thus we were ready to depart ahead of schedule. Take-off was fairly bumpy and I will certainly admit that I had a white-knuckled grip on the armrests; even CP admitted later that it wasn't one of her favorite take-offs, either, and she loves to fly. After a few minutes, however, things settled down, and I was able to watch tv and doze until we began our descent into Orlando. It turned out to be a lovely flight; even the infant seated across from us slept peacefully the entire trip and didn't make a peep.

Vanessa Lane would have done anything for him… Rich men always turned her on! And she would do anything for a man who had money… She wanted a sugar daddy – and if all she had to do was fuck him twice a week, that would be easy!
But Jason wanted anal sex… She had never been fucked in the ass before, and it hurt like hell!
Having a cock in her ass might hurt, but when she started fingering her pussy at the same time she quickly got off!

Fucking Her In The Ass Not Gently
Her boyfriend caught her fucking around again… And this time she was going to pay for it. He was walking out the door when she said the one thing that might get him to stay – she said "I'll get you fuck me in the ass". Sure enough he didn't leave.
Moments later she was naked and on the couch, spreading her ass cheeks for him so he could slide his huge cock up in her ass!

Cock Up Wife's Ass
The fact that Britney was married didn't bother him at all. All women was to him was a hole to fuck a jizz in… And she was smoking hot!

Vanessa Lane Wants Anal
Vanessa Lane is the kind of whore that is like a light switch – once she gets turned on she's nearly impossible to turn off. And she never says no so long as she's getting something out of it.

She knew he was about to try to slide his cock up in her ass!
She knew what was going to happen next! The last time Vanessa Lane had anal sex it hurt like hell!
Hard Cock In Ass

It hurt like hell, but she wasn't an anal virgin any more!

Pair arrested for illegal medical clinic
HIALEAH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A pair accused of performing a medical procedure without a license have bonded out of jail.
Detectives raided a home on West 70th Street and 31st Avenue and discovered a phony medical clinic. Police found hundreds of needles, large quantities of medicine and vials, blank prescriptions, as well as bags if medical waste. "It looks like they were running a full-fledged operation out of their house, probably with lots of patients; probably been going on for a long time," said Hialeah Police Detective Carl Zogby.
Authorities arrested Samela Hernandez and her husband, Pedro Thursday morning. Witnesses said about 30 to 40 Hialeah Police officers shut down the street and surrounded the couple's home.
Investigators believe the couple performed buttocks injections with a chemical known to cause cancer.
A patient who was unhappy with the procedure she received at the home tipped detectives, and they proceeded to investigate the couple.
Diego Del Rio is shocked by the allegations against his neighbors. However, he said, people were always seen going in and out of the home. "I figured, they're a big family," said Del Rio. "I never would have suspected anything of it."
Samela and Pedro Hernandez face more than 200 charges, including practicing medicine without a license.
Detectives said three people have accused her of performing botched procedures.
If you have received a procedure at this residence, Hialeah Police are encouraging you to notify their department and speak to a detective.

In the video it is mentioned that Loughner had been suspended from college, and asked to take a health evaluation in order to be let back in. He never took the evaluation. Perhaps if he had been examined they would have found the reason why a young man who was considered to be 'normal' by a close friend, started a downward spiral in his junior and senior year that led to the horror we witnessed on Saturday. While people are speculating, let's not forget the specter of undiagnosed or untreated mental illness that is rampant in this country.
2: a.m. on Sat Jared Lee Lougner phoned old friend Bryce Tierney, leaving a message.
"Hey man, it's Jared. Me and you had good times. Peace Out. Later."
Tierney, who's also 22, recalls Loughner complaining about a Giffords event he attended during that period. He's unsure whether it was the same one mentioned in the charges—Loughner "might have gone to some other rallies," he says—but Tierney notes it was a significant moment for Loughner: "He told me that she opened up the floor for questions and he asked a question. The question was, 'What is government if words have no meaning?'"
"He said, 'Can you believe it, they wouldn't answer my question.'
I told him, 'Dude, no one's going to answer that,'" Tierney recalls. "Ever since that he thought she was fake, he had something against her."

QuickBooks on the Mac has been available in Australia since 13 April 2011 via QuickBooks Online Premium Edition. Reckon Online has expanded it's online editions to now include:
- QuickBooks Hosted – Standard (the previous edition of QuickBooks Online – only available to PC users).
- QuickBooks Hosted – Premium (works on both PC and Mac).
- CashBook Online (PC and Mac).
We have recently tested the Mac version of QuickBooks online (ie QuickBooks Hosted Premium edition) and rolled it out to our first client. Now our client can ditch his Windows PC as QuickBooks was his last application he needed on his new Mac.
It is always best practice not to jump in quick with new software until the unforeseen problems (bugs) are ironed out with the reports back from the first users of the product. However, with QuickBooks already being online with its standard version now for at least a year now, the software and hosting is pretty solid.
With Reckon using a Citrix connector on the Premium edition, the online experience is likely to be even better due to the long-standing corporate-grade strength of Citrix software.
Overall, I am impressed with the rollout of redeveloped QuickBooks software in Australia over the last few years. Reckon seems to be heading in the right direction, very quickly and methodically (eg SBR with GovConnect). Many users will take up QuickBooks commencing with the 2011-12 release due to it's availability on the Mac and mobile devices.

Hot Damn, Hot Dog!
For lunch today I ate a couple of hot dogs that, while still delicious, were quite probably past their peak freshness. When you can't remembering purchasing something, it's very old. But hey, a brother's gotta eat, so I shot first and asked questions later, mainly of food poisoning websites which informed me that consuming a spoiled hot dog might result in indigestion, nausea, and fits of diarrhea and vomiting. So basically the same risks you take eating a normal hot dog.
Speaking of hot dogs, I know you remember this old jingle. But do you remember the cartoon brainwashing that accompanied it?
Kids, the dissident boy is right! You don't want to be an Oscar Meyer wiener! It's a terrible fate! You'll get eaten!
It appears Oscar Meyer, The Hot Dog Hitler as I refer to him, was assembling his own paramilitary youth movement. O-Mey wasn't hunting Jews, though…
…He was hunting Mexicans! This racist drawing is awfully suggestive. Drawn to look like a plump, costumed, mustachioed, hot dog, I think we are subtly being told that Oscar Meyer wieners are made from Mexicans. In no uncertain terms, if this turns out to be true, I will boycott that corporation. Unless Ball Park Franks goes through another recall. Then, sorry Mexico, like I said, a brother's gotta eat. No, I'm sticking to this. I'll switch to Hebrew National. It feels good to stand for something.
The last Ball Park Frank recall was due to an error in which cheese dogs were accidentally placed in regular hot dog packages. That mistake would've been the hot-dog-consuming thrill of my lifetime. Had I known this at the time I would've bought up all the recalled hot dogs, then written an antagonistic complaint for every package that didn't contain cheese dogs. But I digress.
Look at the face of that poor cartoon Mexican man. Just minding his business, hanging out with a cactus, when some little kid dressed suspiciously like a Klansman kidnaps him for no reason. Hombre is carrying a pistol, so it's easy to confuse him with a bandito. But you would stay strapped too if there was an army of racist child sous chefs constantly trying to lasso you.
My name is Ben and I blogged this.

Goodbye Columbus
But if I'm cleaning my entire house or taking a long trip, I find one to listen to.
If there's one story or movie that takes me back to my youth, it's this one.
The movie came out when I was twenty and encapsulates my youth.
I wasn't Jewish or rich (like Brenda Potemkin) but I was the same age, from the same geographic area, and part of the same time. And although Ali McGraw and Richard Benjamin were not great actors, they did nail these roles.
Now here was a movie that did credit to the book. You can actually read or listen to it and remember scenes from the movie that played out exactly like the book.
What film most perfectly encapsulates your youth? And please don't say The Wedding Crashers. Pretend you're older than that. Also what films are most faithful to the book?
I am so hoping the forthcoming Revolutionary Road will be one of them. We Don't Live Here Anymore did Andre Dubus proud last year and Little Children was another. But it's rare.
11 comments:
Well, the Wedding Crashers weren't actually youths, either...part of that film's point...
Stanley Kubrick comes to mind as a guy who made films that actually improved on their literary sources, at least a few times, and uaually wouldn't begin to shame them. THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE likewise was an improvement on the novel. I still have to read William McGivern's ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW, since I love the film, and like (or better) what I've read of McGivern, Philly's own.
Though it's no great shakes as a series or a cultural document, certainly THAT '70S SHOW got one thing right in its first season or so, from the experience of my New England youth (though it's set in Wisconsin)...it sure was a lot easier and less noteworthy to get pot than to get laid. At least for those of us who entered puberty in the latter half of the decade. FREAKS AND GEEKS had it more right in most ways. And certainly RELATIVITY felt right, even if the twentysomethings in that series were a lot cuter than I was when watching it, and the even better next series from the producers, ONCE AND AGAIN. - 12:15 AM

I'd forgotten Once and Again. A very good show with great acting from its teens. I was away for the Freaks and Geeks year--and the Felicity year. That amount of time spent in the basement in That Seventies Show was certainly realistic if claustrophobic to watch.
Although I identified with Goodbye Columbus, I think it was more a literary identification than a life one. Or it was more about getting the feel of the times right. Or that it spoke to me. I feel similar kinship with The Heartbreak Kid and The Graduate. - 7:45 AM
Actually, for me the adults in ONCE AND AGAIN were the ones I could identify with most immediately, though the kids were well-drawn as well.
You didn't miss much with FELICITY. - 10:41 AM

Well, for my generation the one movie that dominates our youth is STAR WARS. It was the first movie I remember seeing. I was 3 and my grandparents took me. But it wasn't just the movie or the myth, but the toys. Everyone had the toys and that's what we mainly played with. We bounded our adoleccent friendships over action figures and talking about the movies.
But beyond STAR WARS, I think the movies that resonated were films like STAND BY ME and THE BREAKFAST CLUB. As for my late teens and early twenties it would have to be SINGLES and DAZED AND CONFUSED.
As for great adaptations, definitely LITTLE CHILDREN - what a powerful film; BLADE RUNNER, BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY (a hundred times better than the book); THE SECRET GARDEN (1994?); AMERICAN PSYCHO; SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION; HOWARD'S END; 300; V FOR VENDETTA. There are plenty of good adaptations, but there are many many many more poor ones. - 11:12 AM
- pattinase (abbott) said...
Steve-Those are the movies my children would name. Especially Star Wars. Megan wrote new illustrated scripts for the characters on a daily basis. I have some of them still along with some of the plastic cups.
- Sandra Scoppettone said...
I've never believed that a movie had to, or should, be faithful to a book. For me they are two different art forms.
If you like a book you want the movie to be as good. And it can be, even if it's not exactly the same. The only crime is if I love a book and the movie is awful...not that it's not the same. - 10:30 PM
- pattinase (abbott) said...
You almost don't want to see Hollywood approach good novels because it seem to have so little respect for the original work. Yet many of the best movies were books first. The Raymond Carver stories done by Altman a few years ago was at least faithful to his vision. What the heck was that title? If I wasn't tired, I'd google it.
SHORT CUTS. I think Altman engaged in a little more nastiness, though, than Carver did. (Not to a Peckinpah traducing Jim Thompson level, though...perhaps along the lines of the film version of THE LOVED ONE.)
But among the sterling examples of what faithfulness can achieve, look to the Huston-adapted and -directed THE MALTESE FALCON. The reasonably faithful (if cut down even from their short-novel sources) original PSYCHO and THE HAUNTING also come to mind...and the Leigh Brackett THE BIG SLEEP (while Faulkner was sleeping it off in the next office). - 2:07 PM
- pattinase (abbott) said...
The Loved One. I haven't seen that since it came out. It was so clever then. The Haunting. The Haunting of Hill House-amazingly measured both. I'm gonna think of some to throw back.
THE LOVED ONE the novella was a fair sight more clever than THE LOVED ONE the film (hard to beat Waugh at his own game), but I liked the film...which I haven't seen since the latter 1970s...
I've been meaning to getting around to reading the graphic novel, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, since I like the film so much...but haven't, yet. I'll have to disagree with Steve Allan about the quality of the V FOR VENDETTA adaptation, even if it wasn't as bad a mash of Alan Moore's comics as THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN was...

Middleweight beltholder Peter Quillin could soon defend his WBO title against promotional stablemate Danny Jacobs.
Lem's latest: Montiel returns; Peterson siblings give back
Fernando Montiel will pursue his third straight knockout on Saturday night against Victor Terrazas. Former WBO/WBC beltholder Fernando Montiel will pursue his third-straight knockout in as many wins against Victor Terrazas of Guadalajara, Mex., on Saturday night at Estadio Centenario in Montiel's native Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mex. The 32-year-old Montiel (46-3-2, 36 KOs) suffered his last loss in February when he was stopped in the second round by RING No. 4-rated pound-for-pound Nonito Donaire (27-1, 18 KOs), costing Montiel his titles and ending a 11-0-1 streak that had included nine knockouts. Montiel is among five Mexican fighters to have won world titles over the course of three divisions. Before suffering his first-ever stoppage at the hands of Donaire, he was coming off a sensational fourth-round knockout over Hozumi Hasegawa, who at the time was on a 25-fight winning streak. Montiel's past two fights have been third-round knockouts over Nehomar Cermeno and Alvaro Perez in June and August, respectively. The 28-year-old Terrazas (31-2-1, 18 KOs), meanwhile, has won six straight fights, five of them by knockout, and is after his third straight stoppage victory. He is coming off September's fourth-round knockout of Eduardo Becerril. Terrazas' two losses have come via an April 2010 ninth-round knockout by Rendall Munroe, and a second-round KO in his professional debut against Adrian Tellez in March of 2003. PETERSON BROTHERS REMEMBER WHERE THEY CAME FROM RING No. 6-rated junior welterweight Lamont Peterson (29-1-1, 15 KOs) and his 26-year-old brother, lightweight Anthony Peterson (30-1, 20 KOs), spoke to a group of homeless teenage boys at the DC General Shelter in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening as part of The Children's Playtime Project that serves young men ranging in the ages of 11-18. The 27-year-old Lamont Peterson is training for an HBO-televised, Dec. 10 challenge to WBA/IBF 140-pound titleholder Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) at the Washington, D.C., Convention Center, and Anthony Peterson will face an opponent to be determined on the undercard. The Petersons were 5 and 6 when their father was jailed on drug charges and their mother was left to care for seven children. When they weren't bouncing between foster care and the streets, they protected each other and have persevered under the guidance of manger and trainer Barry Hunter, to whom they were introduced by a close friend and mentor, Patrice Harris. For money, they washed car windows or resorted to stealing from grocery stores, becoming pick-pockets, swiping tips off of the tables at outdoor restaurants, or things such as stealing bicycles and selling them. Until meeting Hunter, the Peterson siblings slept in a station wagon, alternately spending "some days on the streets, some days at the bus stops and the bus stations, and there were some days we spent at the parks," according to Lamont. As a result of their experiences, the Peterson siblings feel the need to never forget where they come from and to use it as a way to be an inspiration for others.

WBO bantamweight female boxing sensation Kaliesha West (14-1-3, 4 KOs), of Moreno Valley, Calif., will be at ringside on Sunday in Las Vegas for a card at the Dallas Events Center at the Texas Station Gambling Hall and Hotel. The main event will feature Ada Velez (19-3-3, 6 KOs) in defense of her IBF junior featherweight belt against Melinda Cooper (21-1, 11 KOs). Photos by Chris Farina, Top Rank Inc.

Author Comments
Hi, this is amalloc of SamBakZa.
This is the last episode of "There She Is!!" series.
I'm very happy for that I can completed this series as I thought.
"There She Is!!" was not a series when I make first one.
I didn't have any plan to make this as a series.
I surprised at all the letters, reviews, cheers, donations, fan arts and the others!!
It make me to draw more "There She Is!!".
So, thank you very much to NG, Tom, and all fans.
Thank you for giving me happy 5 years.

Anyway, Thank you very much NG and all reviewers!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 3, 2009
my favorite!!!
at first i was pretty sure by the name and picture that i wouldn't like the series.
Plus these were never my type of films. I always enjoyed action and explosions.
Now all i can say is that i was wrong on that fact. I would say this was one of my favorite series.
It also opened me up to more types of films and gave me a larger spread in likes/ dislikes. So i thank you and hope you will make more great films... :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 3, 2009
shows off great technical skills
good use of masking/tweens
good story
suitable music
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 3, 2009

Looking at business news and consumer issues from every angle
The Columbus Dispatch - June 10, 2013 05:50 PM
Dads are worth more than this year than they were a year ago.
Insure.com's annual father's day index pegs dad's value at $23,344 this year compared with $20,248 last year. The index calculates dad's value based off Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Wages for drivers, teachers and plumbers drove the increase, according to Insure.
Most fathers say they're worth less than $40,000.
When asked what their favorite jobs are around the house, fathers said barbecuing and cooking, helping with homework and driving.
He found his own exit door.
House Speaker John Boehner rarely invokes his home state - now that he's speaker, he serves a national audience, but he made an exception to this rule by sending out a press release bragging on his high school football team.
Dotting the "I"
The number of taxpayers who still reach for a pen to fill out a tax form continues to shrink.
New Internal Revenue Service numbers show that 91 percent of individual tax returns filed this year by taxpayers doing their own work or using a preparer were filed electronically. That's 122.5 million returns.

Listen live to Atlanta's breaking news, severe weather, & traffic online
Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Will need to monitor thunderstorm intensity Wed., again Friday or Saturday, and again by the 11th give or take a day. One model even suggests accumulating snow in the mountains after the next weekend system March 5th give or take a day. Changeable, volatile, back and forth up and down is the late winter weather pattern and it looks to continue as we end winter and start spring as we march into March. The coming week looks to feature a Black Hills Blizzard with heavy snow extending into the upper Midwest and heavy rain and strong to severe thunderstorms for the corn belt, Mississippi River Valley and parts of the Old South the next 5-15 days. There will be cold spells but the cold is not overwhelming and it can not hold so warmth wins out on average the next 3-weeks. The spring forecast March-April-May is much the same and ...
Here are the new maps for February and March and for the Spring months of March through May. Analog years are best matches to La Nina, ocean temperature patterns, solar cycle, and US winter patterns.
Old Man Winter does not want to go down without a fight. Looks like a swing and a miss by the Georgia groundhog. Polar plunge will bring arctic air as cold or colder than anything seen so far this winter, and after so many days in the 60s to 70 it will feel all the worse. What's more it will threaten plants budding and blooming early as a result of the mild winter. Have to keep an eye on active weather pattern through Feb 24th or so. **Snow flurries tomorrow morning, if any, will not matter for Metro Atlanta**
A new approach to prediction could eventually allow forecasters to identify portions of states facing high risk for tornadoes in an upcoming month. Scientists have developed a fledgling ability to predict monthly tornado activity in the US up to one month in advance.
In many ways the threat of tornadoes in the Mid-South and Southeast is greater than the traditional "tornado alley" of the Great Plains and Midwest. Read on to learn why. See the tornado tracks in Georgia and adjacent states since 1950.
There were roughly 3 dozen tornadoes reported in Georgia last year including at least 4 killer twisters.
This is severe weather awareness week in Georgia. A La Nina spring like this one in the past have been deadly in the nation. The winter headlines in Europe have in the past been a precursor to such cold and snow in the Eastern Third of the US so we have to stay alert that we don't go from mild to wild and from shorts to shivers. Some models suggest this in the Feb. 11-Feb 20 period but others do not.
Groundhog or not the calendar says 6 more weeks of winter. But it has not been much of a winter so far and there are no solid signs of any long lasting big change, but a few mixed signals do exist.

Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Chick-Lit, Contemporary Women, Romance, Contemporary, Contemporary Fiction
J essa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn't a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn't seem to escape wanted her. That wasn't something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn't the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn't want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?
Read "Heart Robber" now and immerse yourself in another beautifully passionate, hot, love story from the Lifestyle by Design series.

W hen faced with the brunt of unexpected change or a life crisis, it is far too easy to fall into the trap of negativity which can quickly prevent us from moving forward and blind us to potential opportunities for growth.
There are very few experiences in life that are completely unique…that someone else hasn't faced before.

Inspirational Words of Wisdom for Challenging Times contains hundreds of carefully selected motivational quotes and life lessons that each in its own way illustrates the value of developing greater resilience.
And the single most important lesson of all is that it is never too late to become the person you are meant to be. You have the power to grow stronger and more resilient … any and all self-limiting beliefs can be overcome.

Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall is carted off the ice on a stretcher after a hit by Colorado Avalanche left wing Cody McLeod along the boards in the first period Thursday. (John Leyba / Denver Post)
Denver � Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall left Thursday�s game against Colorado early in the first period on a stretcher.
Kronwall was skating back to retrieve a puck when Avalanche forward Cody McLeod checked Kronwall into the boards. Kronwall's head hit the area between the glass and the boards.
The Red Wings say Kronwall has a concussion and is being treated for cuts near his ear. He was treated in the locker room.
His entire left side seemed to take the brunt of the hit, his shoulder slamming into the boards.
Kronwall's arms were moving as he was placed on the stretcher.
McLeod received a game misconduct and boarding major on the play and was thrown out of the game. A disciplinary hearing for McLeod with the NHL is a certainty.
