2012: Merry Christmas
Everyone who knows me is aware of my fondness for the holiday season. My love affair for all things celebratory starts off with the dark and mysterious Halloween season. After a brief respite filled with turkey and gravy (my brother's a chef so it's always a wonderful meal for Thanksgiving), the season moves to snowmen, elves and Santa Claus. So forgive me for pointing out a few holiday factoids as, for once, I will ignore the game of baseball in one of my posts.
The actual date that Jesus was born is not known. It certainly was not December 25th.
Christmas celebrations likely began in the late 3rd century.
German decedents apparently brought the Christmas tree to north America. At first they were just small trees that often rested on tables. Presently, about 88 percent of families in the U.S. put up a tree. That equates to roughly 25-30 million actual trees with 8-12 million more of the artificial variety.
We can thank the Irish for bringing Christmas lights. Originally trees were lit by burning candles.
Santa Claus has a much richer history than you might think. Was he a real person? Click on the History Channel link for a video discussing the evolution of the bearded one.
There are two cities in the U.S named Santa Claus. One is in Indiana, the other in Georgia.
From Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve the U.S. Postal service delivers roughly 15.8 billion items.
* Facts according to the History Channel.
Finally, here are some Christmas movie favorites for those of you wanting to sit in front of the fire with a cup of coco an a nice holiday tale.
A Christmas Story (1983): It's become part of Christmas for so many as TBS plays it for 24-straight hours starting on Christmas Eve. If you haven't seen it you now have your order for the holiday. No movie has ever captured what it was like to be a kid at Christmas better than this one.
It's a Wonderful Life (1947): The quintessential Christmas movie about family and second chances. James Stewart was never better. If you watch nothing else, make sure you view this one an A Christmas Story in a wonderful double-feature.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947): Don't watch the 1994 version, or for that matter the colored version of the classic. Watch the old black and white version from '47. The story of a man trying to prove to everyone that he is indeed Santa Claus.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993): A perfect mix for those, like myself, who love Halloween and Christmas. A wonderful film stylized by Tim Burton using stop motion figures. The head of Halloweentown is tired of always scaring people, so he kidnaps Santa and tries to take his place.
Elf (2003): If you don't like this one you must be a Grinch. Perfect for the whole family. Will Ferrell has never been funnier. A charming comedy.
Christmas Story (2007): Not to be confused with the comedy above by nearly the same title. There is no CGI or elves or laughter in this one. This is a Finnish flick that tells the story of how a boy becomes Santa Claus. Consider this more of a biopic of how Nikolas becomes St. Nick.
Bad Santa (2003): Filthy, disgusting, lewd — perfect for those of you who like black humor or want a to have some side splitting laughs on the holiday. Rated R for language and Santa Sex so it's not for kids, but it's still the best "worst" Christmas movie ever made.
Happy Holidays to you all, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. I hope at this time of year you are surrounded by family and friends that love you. Cheers everyone.

Reviews for The Gilded Age
An Excerpt from The Gilded Age
First published in 1873, The Gilded Age is both a biting satire and a revealing portrait of post-Civil War America-an age of corruption when crooked land speculators, ruthless bankers, and dishonest politicians voraciously took advantage of the nation's peacetime optimism. With his characteristic wit and perception, Mark Twain and his collaborator, Charles Dudley Warner, attack the greed, lust, and naivete of their own time in a work which endures as a valuable social document and one of America's most important satirical novels.

well, color me a writer
- - - Updated - - -
allow me to stop doing math and return to what I do best. here is the actual bill passed. Searching for relevant highlights now.
- - - Updated - - -
Primary bill altered. This link notes what the 2008 bill changed. New legislation notes coming shortly....
- - - Updated - - -
Well, hard to find this in the bill itself, but Reuters says this, concerning where the reported $39b is being cut:
Trying to find this in the document but it's clunky and hard to search. Assuming this is accurate, kids aren't affected.The Cantor-backed package would limit able-bodied adults without dependents to three months of food stamps in a three-year period unless they worked part-time or were in a workfare or job-training program. It would end a provision, created by the 1996 welfare reform law, that allows states to give food stamps to people whose assets are larger than usually allowed.
Those two steps would save $39 billion over 10 years and reduce enrollment by almost 4 million people in 2014, said the Congressional Budget Office.
- - - Updated - - -
nobody's reading anymore. If you want me to keep going, insist.
Reducing people's access to needs with no real programme set into getting them out of poverty is never a good thing, no matter how you look at it.
Or you could cut money from I dont know, massive military. Just a thought. Its not like your suddenly gonna get over run if you start cutting back at least a few percent more.
But no, fuck poor people, affordable healthcare. Its like they WANT a third world country.
Sorry if I don`t cry for you Brand. The American military literally has so much funding compared to every other branch, it`s just disgusting.

I stopped getting food stamps when I started school.
Apparently, that makes me ineligible. xD

SYRACUSE -- More than seven individuals are charged in connection with a Syracuse based heroine ring.
The arrests stem from a Syracuse Police investigation. Police say the group was engaged in the middle to upper level sales of heroin in the Syracuse area and supplied heroin to lower level dealers throughout Central New York.
The group was reportedly involved in several weapons related incidents on Syracuse's near west side.
The Syracuse Police SWAT team executed search warrants on Wednesday and Thursday of last week that resulted in the seven arrests. Police say additional arrests are expected.
Search warrants were executed at 102 Davis Street, 211-13 Beattie Street apartment C-12, and 135 Stewart Court apartment J.
Police say they recovered about 500 bags of heroin, heroin processing and packaging paraphernalia, a fully loaded scoped rifle, a fully loaded and defaced revolver, a fully loaded "Mac-10" sub-machine gun, and over $6,000 in cash.
During the investigation, police say several other arrests were made in conjunction with the recovery of hundreds of additional bags of heroin before they executed the search warrants.
Police arrested: Jonathan Perez, 25, Seandell King, 25, Carlos Hernandez, 23, Felix Vasquez, 20, Adrian Rivera, 40, Pedro Galdon, 48, and Alton West, 23.
Police say the group is facing a variety of charges that may include (but are not limited to): criminal sale of a controlled substance 3rd degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 3rd, 4th and 7th degrees, criminal possession of a weapon in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th degrees, obstructing governmental administration 2nd degree, and resisting arrest.

EMISSIONS CREEP: Greenhouse gas emissions from most countries that have pledged to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases the global warming pollution are still rising.

The 38 countries that pledged to restrain their emissions of climate change–inducing greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide (CO2), are failing, according to new figures released today. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the body charged with overseeing global emission reduction efforts, says that, overall, greenhouse emissions—measured in terms of the most ubiquitous: carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)—dropped by 894 million metric tons between 1990 and 2006 (the latest year for which figures are available).
But the UNFCCC found that emissions had grown by 2.3 percent—403 million metric tons of CO2e—from 2000 to 2006, and that the 16-year dip was due entirely to the drop in economic activity (factory and power plant shutdowns) in former Eastern bloc countries such as Russia after the 1989 fall of communist governments, which led to a decline of more than two billion metric tons of CO2e emissions. Those countries' economies have recovered since 2000, leading to an increase in CO2e emissions of some 258 million metric tons, according to UNFCCC.
Most industrialized European nations as well as China and the U.S. (which have not agreed to any emissions' reductions) have been spewing more carbon dioxide since 1990—up in total some 403 million metric tons of CO2e from 2000 levels.
The UNFCCC cautions that emissions may be even worse now, noting that the statistics in the study are already nearly three years old. "UNFCCC expert review teams need two years to verify the data, partly by traveling to the countries concerned," says UNFCCC spokesman John Hay. "This makes the UNFCCC data not the freshest, but the most reliable on the market."
The U.K. and the Principality of Monaco are the only two European countries that, after pledging to reduce emissions (by 12.5 percent and 8 percent, respectively) by 2012, appear to be on track. In contrast, Austria, which vowed in 2002 to cut emissions by over the next 10 years 13 percent below 1990 levels, is instead pumping out 15 percent more CO2e than it did in 1990. Likewise, Japan is now emitting over 6 percent more greenhouse gases now than in 1990 despite a promise in 2002 to reduce them by 6 percent by 2012.
Even countries allowed to emit more greenhouse gases under the terms of the Kyoto Protocol (an international treaty to reduce emissions) to allow further economic development have nearly doubled their allowed growth. Ireland, for example, has seen greenhouse gas emissions grow by nearly 26 percent when, under the terms of the treaty, they should only rise by 13 percent.
The treaty signatories have until 2012 to get their acts together. If they continue to exceed their limits by that date, they will be suspended from international carbon trading, which currently allows them to purchase cheaper emission reductions from developing countries in lieu of reducing their own; instead, they would be required to achieve 1.3 times the missed reduction in future years.
World governments are set to gather next month in Poznan, Poland, to continue negotiations on a binding international agreement to cut globe-warming greenhouse gases after 2012—a so-called successor to the Kyoto Protocol currently in force.
Under the Bush administration, the U.S. has participated in such talks without accepting a binding emissions reduction target. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. emitted nearly six billion metric tons of CO2 last year, up from roughly five billion metric tons in 1990. It remains to be seen how the incoming Obama administration will proceed, though on the stump the president-elect pledged to cut U.S. emissions to 80 percent below present levels by 2050.
When releasing today's report, UNFCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer stressed the importance of negotiating a new and binding agreement to cut climate change pollution. "The figures clearly underscore the urgency for the U.N. negotiating process to make good progress in Poznan and move forward quickly in designing a new agreement to respond to the challenge of climate change," he said. He also noted that President-elect Obama would not attend.

Charles Dickens: The Old Curiosity ShopCHAPTER 22 (continued)'I hope plays mayn't be sinful, Kit, but I'm a'most afraid,' said Mrs Nubbles. 'I know who has been putting that in your head,' rejoined her son disconsolately; 'that's Little Bethel again. Now I say, mother, pray don't take to going there regularly, for if I was to see your good-humoured face that has always made home cheerful, turned into a grievous one, and the baby trained to look grievous too, and to call itself a young sinner (bless its heart) and a child of the devil (which is calling its dead father names); if I was to see this, and see little Jacob looking grievous likewise, I should so take it to heart that I'm sure I should go and list for a soldier, and run my head on purpose against the first cannon-ball I saw coming my way.' 'Oh, Kit, don't talk like that.' 'I would, indeed, mother, and unless you want to make me feel very wretched and uncomfortable, you'll keep that bow on your bonnet, which you'd more than half a mind to pull off last week. Can you suppose there's any harm in looking as cheerful and being as cheerful as our poor circumstances will permit? Do I see anything in the way I'm made, which calls upon me to be a snivelling, solemn, whispering chap, sneaking about as if I couldn't help it, and expressing myself in a most unpleasant snuffle? on the contrary, don't I see every reason why I shouldn't? just hear this! Ha ha ha! An't that as nat'ral as walking, and as good for the health? Ha ha ha! An't that as nat'ral as a sheep's bleating, or a pig's grunting, or a horse's neighing, or a bird's singing? Ha ha ha! Isn't it, mother?' There was something contagious in Kit's laugh, for his mother, who had looked grave before, first subsided into a smile, and then fell to joining in it heartily, which occasioned Kit to say that he knew it was natural, and to laugh the more. Kit and his mother, laughing together in a pretty loud key, woke the baby, who, finding that there was something very jovial and agreeable in progress, was no sooner in its mother's arms than it began to kick and laugh, most vigorously. This new illustration of his argument so tickled Kit, that he fell backward in his chair in a state of exhaustion, pointing at the baby and shaking his sides till he rocked again. After recovering twice or thrice, and as often relapsing, he wiped his eyes and said grace; and a very cheerful meal their scanty supper was. This is page 184 of 618.

Intrigued by the recent trend of scientists, journalists, philosophers, and teachers who have been ostracized and discredited for daring to suggest that humankind may be the product of intelligent design rather than a random fluke in the cosmic scheme of things, Ben Stein sets out on a journey to investigate the supposed persecution of the many by the select few. Stein asserts that in recent years, anyone who dares to question the idea that adaptation is responsible for the development of Earth's organisms is held to ridicule, and over the course of the film, he travels the globe to speak with the supporters of both theories, pondering the reasons why believing in a higher power has seemingly become a massive taboo in the eyes of educators and the media. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

America's Most Smartest Model [TV Series]
Seriousness and sobriety were not the strong suits of this slightly satirical reality-competition series, in which several male and female models competed in a rapid procession of "intellectual" challenges to win the honor of America's Most Smartest Model--not to mention a $100,000 cash prize. All told, there were seven "Bimbos" (girls) vs. seven "Himbos" (boys), making a total of, uh, wait, don't tell me, fourteen, right? Judges Ben Stein and Mary Alice Stephenson made little effort to hide their contempt for the contestants, which of course added to the fun. Hosted by Brett Novek and Jeff Pickel, America's Most Smartest Model was unveiled by VH1 on October 7, 2007...you know, the day before Christmas. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Devastated after being fired by director Woody Allen, actress Annabelle Gurwitch sets out on a soul-searching journey to discover whether getting the axe was the best or worst thing ever to happen in her professional career. Anyone who has been in the workforce for an extended amount of time has likely been there -- one minute you've got a good-paying job that you love, and the next minute you're standing in the unemployment line. When Annabelle Gurwitch got fired by the legendary director of such classics as Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo, she thought her career was over. Upon turning to her many showbiz pals for advice, however, Gurwitch quickly discovered that she was not alone. In this documentary, Gurwitch enlists the aid of filmmakers Chris Bradley and Kyle La Brache in traveling the country to interview such celebrities as Tim Allen, David Cross, Sarah Silverman, and Jeff Garlin to find out exactly how they dealt with the heavy hand of rejection. Additional interviews with GM workers in Lansing, MI, who were handed their pink slips offer some tales that are tragically comedic and others that seems to reinforce the old adage about one door closing and another door opening, while a visit to job fairs and "outplacement services" show just what the jobless endure on a day-to-day basis. Conversations with the downsizers as well as the downsized offer viewers a chance to explore the topic from both sides as host Gurwitch reminds viewers that sometimes the greatest success stories are born of failure. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Chappelle's Show writer/producer/director Neal Brennan makes his feature directorial debut with this retro-minded comedy purported to have been produced in the 1980s but never released until 2006. As the Gunderson family sets out on a cross-country road trip to their new home, boyishly handsome Charlie (Mikey Day), blossoming dancer Lori (Dominique Swain), and highly intelligent Max (Trevor Heins) all have their own ideas of what life will be like in their new town. When Charlie is singled out as the least popular senior on the very first day of school, kindly outcast Billie (Nicki Clyne) amiably agrees to show him the ropes and provide him with an illuminating crash course in the clique system. Meanwhile, Lori is shocked to discover that dancing has been banned in her new town and the only place to cut loose is at the clandestine dance sessions held in the garage of current janitor and former dance instructor Gabriel (Chris Kattan). Immediately forbidden from attending the highly secretive shindigs, Lori stealthily sneaks out to be with the kindly Gabriel as her feelings for the dance instructor grow and the pair set into motion a clever plan to usher in a new era of dancing around town. When Charlie vows to win the heart of popular girl Kimberly (Brittany Daniel) by competing against her athletic boyfriend, Kipp (Joey Kern), in the upcoming school decathlon, lovelorn Billie quietly pines for the clueless newcomer from afar as he begins a rigorous training regiment with Japanese gardener Yamagashi (James Hong). As his family struggles to adjust to their new life, reclusive genius Max continues working on a highly advanced home computer that soon draws the attention of the CIA. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The strange mask that gave Jim Carrey remarkable powers in the 1994 hit The Mask makes a mess of a seemingly ordinary family in this special effects-laden comic fantasy. Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) is a cartoonist living quietly in suburbia with his wife Tonya (Traylor Howard), their baby son Alvey (Ryan Falconer), and dog Otis; however, their lives are turned upside down when Otis discovers a strange green mask which channels the spirit of Loki (Alan Cumming), the Norse god of mischief. Both Otis and Alvey get their hands (or paws) on the mask, and soon both are shape shifting and making all manner of trouble while having a great time doing it. Unfortunately, this isn't the end of Tim and Tonya's troubles -- it seems the supreme Norse god Odin (Bob Hoskins) has given Loki the assignment of recovering the mask, and Loki will do whatever he must to get the mask back from Alvey and Otis. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Family Guy: When You Wish Upon a Weinstein
While Chris (voice of Seth Green) has problems with his math homework, an insurance salesman talks Peter (voice of Seth MacFarlane) into using Lois' (voice of Alex Borstein) rainy day money to buy "volcano insurance." When Lois finds out about it, she's very angry, and questions Peter's maturity. "If I'm a child," Peter responds, "you know what that makes you? A pedophile." When Peter finds out that Quagmire (MacFarlane) and Cleveland (voice of Mike Henry) both have Jewish people handling their finances, he decides to find a Jew of his own to help him with his money. He sings a little prayer, "I Need a Jew," to the heavens, and the next day, Max Weinstein (voice of Peter Riegert), an accountant, shows up at his door with car trouble. Peter convinces Max to get his money back from the insurance agent, and balance his checkbook. Peter even goes with Max to temple. Convinced that Judaism is the path to wisdom and financial security, Peter decides that Chris should convert and have a bar mitzvah. When the rabbi (voice of Ben Stein) at Temple Beth Thupporting Actor refuses to perform the ceremony, despite Peter's contention that his son is "bi-curious," Peter drags Chris off to Las Vegas for a quickie bar mitzvah. When Lois finds out where they've gone, she frantically races to stop them. This episode features the voices of Tom Kenny, Mark Hamill, and Ed McMahon. It was never aired on FOX, presumably due to its controversial nature. It eventually debuted on Cartoon Network, with one line from Peter's song changed, and was included in the Family Guy, Vol. 2 DVD set. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, the impish impresarios of gross-out comedy, take their body function-inspired humor to new extremes in this mixture of live action and animation. Bill Murray stars as Frank, a zoo worker suffering from the effects of an unknown malady he contracted after eating an egg contaminated with simian saliva. Unknown to Frank, the inside of his body is actually a city (the City of Frank) teeming with cellular life, where the mysterious illness he's fighting is an invading enemy that must be defeated at all costs. It's up to Osmosis Jones (voice of Chris Rock), a white blood cell cop, and Drix (voice of David Hyde Pierce), a rookie over-the-counter medication, to hunt down and stop a lethal virus (Laurence Fishburne) who's got an inferiority complex. Along the way, the partners visit Frank's runny nostrils (Booger Dam) and a bar called, appropriately enough, the Zit. Osmosis Jones costars Molly Shannon and Chris Elliott, and features the vocal talents of William Shatner, producer Joel Silver, and singer Brandy Norwood. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Murphy Brown: How to Marry a Billionaire
Murphy (Candice Bergen) is stunned when, in the course of a live TV interview, billionaire media mogul Duncan Briggs (Ian Ogilvy) proposes marriage.

Grover Reindorf (Kyle Howard) is a kid with a problem, which is how to keep his parents from divorcing. He hits on a solution that makes sense to him. Why not lock them up in the basement, and keep them there until they reconcile? He and his younger sister Stacey (Amy Sakasitz) agree to do just that, and they successfully lure their parents into the basement and lock them in. When their junior-high-school friends find out what they've done, they decide that their own misbehaving parents need exactly the same treatment. One after another, all are tricked into entering into the Reindorf's basement. Meanwhile, upstairs, the youngsters have a very mild good time, as they can't even bring themselves to swallow the champagne they try. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Based on the popular cartoon character, this family-oriented "ghost story" is about a not-so-scary spirit who bonds with a little girl (Christina Ricci). The eternally irritable Ms. Carrigan (Cathy Moriarty) discovers that the only thing she's been left in her recently departed father's will is a rickety old house in New England. Naturally, the woman is furious about this, until her "close personal friend" and assistant, Dibbs (Eric Idle of Monty Python fame), discovers a secret message that a treasure may be concealed somewhere in the house. The two take off for Maine, only to learn that the house is haunted by Casper "the friendly ghost" and his three ghostly uncles Stinky, Stretch, and Fatso. After futilely recruiting an exorcist (Don Novello, more or less reviving his Father Guido Sarducci character from Saturday Night Live) and a "professional ghost exterminator" (Dan Aykroyd), she brings in a "ghost psychiatrist" (Bill Pullman) and his daughter Kat (Ricci). Innocently attracted to the young girl, Casper befriends Kat as they try to save the ghosts' home from the evil Carrigan. Eye-popping special effects highlight this magical story that touches (albeit lightly) on the theme of what lies at the heart of human desires. Clint Eastwood, Rodney Dangerfield, Mel Gibson and The Crypt Keeper (of Tales from the Crypt) all make cameos as apparitions in the mirror Bill Pullman looks into in the house. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

The discovery of marital troubles in her family causes a young woman to question her own upcoming nuptials in this clever romantic comedy. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Gwyn, a bright, slightly neurotic advertising copywriter who is initially thrilled when her boyfriend Matt (Gil Bellows) finally proposes. Soon afterwards, however, she learns that her mother Nina (Mia Farrow) is indulging in an extra-marital affair with a handsome Latin stud (Antonio Banderas). This is only the first of several shocking revelations, as Gwyn soon learns of infidelity by her father (Paul Mazursky), brother (Kevin Pollack), and even newlywed sister (Carla Gugino). These indiscretions make Gwyn question the validity of the entire institution of marriage and doubt her own future. Director David Frankel, who also penned the screenplay, follows in the footsteps of Woody Allen in using introspective dialogue to detail the romantic troubles of a wealthy, neurotic Jewish family; practiced performances and a colorful use of Miami locations give the film its own personality. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

A purposely outlandish cartoon created in 1953, Harvey Comics hero Richie Rich finally came to the big screen in 1994, when a boy billionaire was not quite as fanciful an idea. Richie Rich (Macaulay Culkin) is the wealthiest boy in the world, but even though he loves his doting parents, Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Regina (Christine Ebersole), he's not happy. Richie wants to play baseball with some neighborhood kids, but his parents instead hire Reggie Jackson to coach him. He wants to go out and play, but instead he gets aerobics training from Claudia Schiffer. When his parents disappear in the Bermuda Triangle, Richie suspects that Laurence Van Dogh (John Larroquette), an employee of Rich Industries, of plotting to take over the company by killing his mom and dad. With trusty butler Cadbury (Jonathan Hyde), eccentric inventor Prof. Keenbean (Michael McShane) and some new friends his own age, Richie puts a plan together to foil Van Dogh's wicked scheme and rescue his parents. Having grown to the point where he was no longer believable in the little kid parts that once made him America's top child star, Culkin took an extended break from acting after the filming of Richie Rich. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A boy divorces his parents in this comic fantasy for the family. North (Elijah Wood) is the sort of kid most parents dream of -- he's bright, well-behaved, a good student, and a great baseball player. But North's Mom and Dad (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander) are so busy with their lives and careers that they barely have time for him. A man dressed as the Easter Bunny (Bruce Willis) who serves as North's conscience and advisor suggests to him that if he's not happy with his parents, maybe he could do better elsewhere. North hires a lawyer, Arthur Belt (Jon Lovitz), who presents his case to Judge Buckle (Alan Arkin); the judge declares North a free agent, and he gives North two months to find new parents, otherwise he'll be sent to the orphans' home. North finds himself travelling the globe auditioning prospective parents, while a boy named Winchell (Matthew McCurley) thinks that North's legal victory could be the first step in kids taking over the world. North's would-be parents include Kathy Bates, Dan Aykroyd, Reba McIntire, and Kelly McGillis. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hyperactive mayhem results when a mild-manned banker discovers an ancient mask that transforms him into a zany prankster with superhuman powers in this special-effects-intensive comedy. The wildly improvisational Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a decent-hearted but socially awkward guy who one night finds a strange mask. Carrey's trademark energy reveals itself after Stanley puts on the mask and the banker transforms into The Mask, a green-skinned, zoot-suited fireball. The rubber-faced Mask possesses the courage to do the wild, fun things that Stanley fears, including romancing Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz). In addition to Carrey's physical talents, the film makes effective use of digital visual effects that bestow the Mask with superhuman speed, insane flexibility, and popping eyes out of a Tex Avery cartoon. The larger narrative, involving the efforts of Tina's gangster boyfriend to destroy Stanley and use the mask's powers for evil, prove less interesting than the anarchic comic set pieces, including a particularly memorable dance number to "Cuban Pete." The film delivered enough laughs to become a surprise hit and, along with the same year's Dumb and Dumber, establish Carrey's status as a comedy superstar. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

John Hughes continues the trend he began with the Home Alone series in Dennis the Menace, the Hughes-scripted film version of Hank Ketcham's long-running comic strip, cartoon show, and television comedy. The film opens as Dennis (Mason Gamble) is seen careening down a sidewalk in a beautiful and idealistic suburban town on his training-wheeled bike -- cans on string clattering behind him, baseball cards flapping in the spokes of the wheel, his red wagon filled to the brim and his dog following him. "Hey! Mister Wilson!" he screams and slams his bike to a halt in front of his much put-upon neighbor, Mr. Wilson (Walter Matthau). Half of the film concerns vignettes of small-town Hank Ketcham life as Dennis' mom Alice (Lea Thompson) starts a new job, Dennis stays over at his friend Margaret's (Amy Sakasitz) house, and Mr. Wilson and his gentle, well-meaning wife, Martha (Joan Plowright), mind Dennis during the night of a big garden party. Through all this, Dennis continually gets into Mr. Wilson's hair. But then the Home Alone plot kicks in -- with an unsubtle dose of O. Henry -- when Switchblade Sam (Christopher Lloyd) makes an appearance. Switchblade Sam is a homeless drifter who combs the neighborhood stealing purses and small home items. But when Switchblade Sam steals Mr. Wilson's collection of gold coins, Dennis comes to the rescue and inflicts Dennis the Menace-type tortures upon the thief in order to reclaim the coins for Mr. Wilson. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The ghost of Frank Capra must have smiled when he saw Dave, an amusing and effective update of one of Capra's favorite themes -- the scrupulously honest little guy who becomes a force for good against a corrupt system. Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) runs an employment agency and seems to genuinely enjoy finding work for people who need it. He also bears a striking resemblance to the president of the United States, Bill Mitchell (also played by Kline) and occasionally gets work as a Bill Mitchell impersonator. One day, Dave gets a call from the Secret Service -- for security purposes, they want to hire him to act as a decoy for an upcoming appearance by the president. All goes well, but later that evening President Mitchell suffers a massive stroke while in bed with his mistress. Wanting to keep the matter a secret, two of the president's top advisors appeal to Dave to stand in as Bill Mitchell until he regains his health. One of the men behind this scheme, Bob Alexander (Frank Langella), hopes to use Mitchell's absence to promote his own right-wing political agenda, but after a few weeks "in office," Dave decides it's time to promote some changes of his own that will help increase employment and keep homeless shelters open. Dave also finds himself growing fond of Ellen Mitchell (Sigourney Weaver), the President's wife, while Ellen sees in Dave the idealism her husband left behind years ago. Dave features numerous cameo appearances by politicians, Washington insiders, and journalists; Oliver Stone also appears to explain a conspiracy theory regarding sudden changes in Bill Mitchell's behavior. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hi, I would like to know if someone has an idea about when the link to Download PDF will return in feature articles? I subscribed three weeks ago especially for this feature cause I have a couple of articles published between 2010 and 2012 that I would like to download, but I still can't and they're not available in the PDF Technical Library forum. Thank you!
Same issue here. I subscribed for PDFs and full text RSS yet I can not access any of them. Oh, and subsciber's support does not answer my e-mail...
Sorry, I'm on jury duty this week, little slower than usual to get to things in this forum.
Short answer: I have the tech team looking at this today. |
Does the tech team know how long it will take to bring back this feature?
Apparently it's basically done, and just needs to be fully activated, I'm looking into it.
Ok! Thank you!
FYI I'm going to stay on top of this issue, it's being worked on more right as I'm typing this update.
I just subscribed and the main purpose was to get access to PDF versions of feature articles. How do I do this? Where is the feature?
I'm using Safari 6.0, and the links to download PDF, etc. keep disappearing. They are replaced by a sort of ad for the main feature story. The attached screenshot illustrates this. How do I get to the links to download an article as PDF? This problem is happening in both Firefox 14.0.1 and Safari 6.0.
I'm using Safari 6 on Mountain Lion and I can see the link to download PDF. Don't know what's happening to you.
That's not an 'ad', it's just the normal feature slot, everyone sees it. Stiggs can you show me a screencap of your whole web browser? I could probably diagnose things better if I could see everything instead of just that crop.
Edit: Oh, PDFs are just for features, that's a news story you're reading, no PDF there. |

It's almost moving day! Yep, I'm moving down to the Bowery, by the East Village, and I am beyond excited to start the new year fresh in a brand spankin' new apartment. I am still not sure how I'm going to decorate it. It may just be a mix of simplicity along with a few killer, vintage pieces thrown into the mix. Definitely a beautiful Persian rug, a place to hang my hats, dainty flowers, and loads of candles. I cannot wait to hang artwork on the walls, and stick up all my polaroids. By the end of the month, my place should feel like home! I've already been buying painted bowls, and kitchen things, but really, I'm just thinking of how I will be arranging my closet....and boot collection. We'll see what I come up with.

The volunteer job that I applied for last December has started. It took this long to set up because of references and police vetting procedures. It is 'Coordinator of the Galway region for Irish Therapy Dogs'. I will be dealing with administration, setting up programmes with care centres and assessing the local teams.
On Saturday Brenda and Brian from Dublin showed me the ropes in the Galway Hospice and we assessed four new teams. The emblem for the Galway Hospice is a sunflower and the atmosphere was light and bright. It is run by efficient volunteers who do the cooking and driving etc. and the good will was palpable.
I met Laura with her therapy dog Freda, a rescued Chihuahua, who are already active in the hospice and do weekly visits. When she got Freda from the sanctuary the tiny dog just ran around in little circles as she had lived in a cage on a puppy farm. She was lucky to find Laura! In her yellow I.T.D uniform with bright blond hair, big almond eyes and the largest perma-smile I have ever seen she looked like the sunflower fairy.
The dogs and the owners are carefully assessed. The owners need to have a strong commitment to weekly visits and a kind, understanding, loving nature. The dogs need to be calm, obedient, well groomed, comfortable around strangers and in strange surroundings, not smell and have their nails clipped. Also the insurance insists they must not have any blood lines from dogs listed as restricted breeds.
The visits become very important for long term residential patients or people that cannot leave the centres but the real therapy takes place with the severe cases; patients with stroke, dementia, mental health problems or social interactive problems like autism. The aim is to make a connection to people locked into loneliness and work to improve their emotional health.
There are many success stories:
One man had been visiting his wife for eighteen months after she had had a stroke, she hadn't spoken since but then one day she said 'that is a lovely dog'.
Another long term resident with intellectual disabilities who no one had ever heard speak started beckoning to his lap after weeks of having the therapy dog put on his knees, saying 'DOG, DOG'
A huge wolfhound called Setanta has had great success in a special needs school. One of the most popular activities is lying down and reading to him.
Brenda the founder of I.T.D. says 'what ever the mental capacity of the person there is always a window to make a connection.' You place the person's hand on the dog and let them stroke it if they are happy to do this. She said 'you know when a connection is made if you look above their eyes and see a light turn on, then maybe a glimmer of a smile.'

they should of had it years ago,heck im healthy but my jack russell,cat and two guinea pigs,give me that extra feel good feeling,i rehomed the dog and the cat,i bought the guinea pigs,they needed a home too. i will never persue the perfect dog i will rehome the ideal dog i find in the pound,my dog is from limerick and my cat is from cork,and i will never go back to being petless.they should extend the service all around ireland,everyone needs a furry or hairy or even scaly friend to make them happy,and you make them happy also.
Well that's cool
Good work for dogs, if they can get it. :-)
"Restricted breeds" The first therapy dog I met was a pit bull. I currently own two pit bulls and a Golden Retriever. The pit bulls have proven themselves to be the best all-around dogs of all the breeds I have had. Several of the Michael Vic dogs (pit bulls) are now certified therapy dogs. Knowing the breed, this doesn't surprise me.
What a heartwarming story. More reason to protect dogs and all animals.

International Services is always available to advise you on these requirements. Don't hesitate to seek our advice on any legal immigration regulatory issue. Please read the following very carefully and follow these rules that are strictly enforced by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):
• You must have a valid I-20 form from The City College of New York.
• All students in F-1 status must register for a full time course load (12 for undergraduates, 9 for graduates) each Fall and Spring semester. If for any reason you are unable to enroll in a full course load, you must see an advisor in the International Students office before classes begin.
• Enroll in classes every Fall and Spring semester.
• Report any changes of your name or address to the International Students office within 10 days of the change.
• Do not work without proper legal authorization. Any work must be approved by the International Students office or USCIS
Reporting Requirements
The government requires that all schools report to SEVIS and USCIS whether a student has fulfilled all requirements necessary for a student to maintain their F-1 status.
Prior to beginning classes at CCNY, every student is required by USCIS to report to the Office of International Student & Scholar Services. When you report you are required to provide a copy of your passport, visa, I-94 card and I-20. You will also be asked to fill out an F-1 Student Data Sheet. This form will provide the information required for SEVIS reporting.

Totally bogus junk science presented as legitimate research. This assumes that the jury after hearing the facts will vote based on sex and body size. So why have a trial if men don´t listen to evidence or any other facts presented? ASNd check fraud isn´t always pure and simple so facts and evidence do matter (except to men according to this study).
Man,talk about having too much time on your hands...
Well... they are supposed to weigh the evidence carefully.This may have something to do with oral arguments.Guys have long memories for that.This gives us something we can sink our teeth into.
Leftists trying to undermine the justice system with bogus junk science studies
If Rosie O´Donnell was one of the fat women I can understand the bias.
What, guilty of over eating?
Article doesn´t say - who on earth sponsored this study? This is what´s coming out of Yale University these days?
Probably they remind us of our ex wives.
#1 is right. Junk and not even close to science.
Uh oh. Another victim group - obese female criminals.
Maybe they just don´t like sweatpants.It could be the way the particular women were dressed.As someone who does research, I´ll tell you: it´s always easier and more glamourous if you can sensationalize your results into something that CBS would pick up and carry on the nightly news.
#2, It´s not too much TIME on their hands that is a concern, it´s too much taxpayer dollars that fund this malarky that bothers me.
Are overweight women more likely to find male´s guilty?
No #13, because overweight women don´t use a penis to think with. I find studies like this of interest and while all may not be useful a good deal of them are. A friend sat on a ´´fake jury´´ sometime ago. The defense was trying to establish whether the plan they had set out would work with the average Joe, and Joan. I don´t remember all the details now, but she found it very interesting, and somewhat disturbing, when the information was shared with them at the end. Unfortunately there were generalisations that could not be ignored.
Well, they do cheat on their diets - every time they start one. If you´ll lie about that, you´ll lie about anything.
Finally a solution to that ole drinking issue. The one where the girls get prettier as the number of drinks increase.
Not this juror. I like to keep warm at night.
AND the BS MSM TV stations are always guilty, so what else is new?
Could it be that more overweight women are guilty? Just as black males are over-represented in the prison population?
Gotta keep women folk looking like victims again... Where are the stats on what women jurors/judges do to the men????

Signs pointing to the real estate market on the rebound.
Fewer homes for sale prices up a little Samantha to be Yankee -- -- -- real estate joins us now from Florida us America.
It was a small gain up about 6% according to one authority here.
And may be up about 5% according to Freddie Mac.
Now I'm saying that's pretty good news is it's a ray of sunshine what are you said that.
It is pretty good news especially here in sunny South Florida.
You know mortgage rates are at an all time low the lowest they've been in sixty years sixty years.
So people are seeing mess and they're jumping on this buying bandwagon.
The only problem that we have right now is the fact that you have to give up your first born in order to get a market -- what did you know it's yeah.
It's it's a good thing -- that they you know and and -- realizing that they need to be tighter.
And that is the way today's this real estate growth and and it at a batter economy.
Over off so it's America aren't gonna jump in for a second because I've said -- -- on this program.
That's the best value.
As an investment the best value today is not -- stock market not the bond markets now gold is not currencies is also that it aids -- single family home in a good neighborhood now look.
I know you're gonna agree with me because you sell -- I know you gotta agree.
But -- -- -- to something what you think.
You are on to something and it's you it's Europeans especially with -- what's happening with the Euro.
It's overseas buyers from everywhere in South America ends and of course.
Locals right here at your next door neighbor exists makes cents -- -- right now especially.
Weighing your paying a few hours and -- rent payment if you catch you if you patents.
-- the Doug -- I'm.
Homeowners in South Florida and in Miami and what I see is the market being fueled.
By Latin American Argentinian particularly current Brazilian buyers who show up all cash no questions asked is that a fair assumption.
Correct that is a fair assumption that is a fair assumption you do have these cash buyers so what I always advise my clients.
It's putting your highest and best you can't be -- in these low Paulson.
People think that oh well these there there are great deals I will -- that there are great deals however.
If you want to get a property.
You can't be -- around anymore you need to look at the list price and think okay.
If this is a great piece of property when he other people think it's a great piece of property is well.
And again it's not kiss you and in your next door neighbor you're dealing with the south Americans that are buying left and right.
-- -- and dog would you agree with this proposition.
This is a small bounce in a very depressed market.
A we will not get any serious rise in home prices and two we've got 4% economic growth.
And we creating 300000 new jobs each and every month -- the first.
I agree with you on that nothing's gonna happening and people.
It it's a slow process and of course if people don't feel secure people don't have a job.
They're not gonna feel secure buying a home and having a mortgage payment -- -- -- say it's it makes more sense for them since Iran at this point it's just.
-- couldn't agree more bottom line what I'm seeing in South Florida is the market was depressed 3040 even 50%.
-- just now coming back to where we work but we're not by any means past where the market what -- -- but I am seeing a -- not just in South Florida with the -- cash bonds from Latin America I'm -- the same kind of modest gains California.
Some positive sunny Phoenix Arizona.
They even million -- will mean I gotta tell you my real estate in Las Vegas is still deeply depressed yes.
It is from serious.
-- Samantha with not happening everywhere and -- thanks very much that they got such short notice today we appreciate it you know I think we'll see you again soon okay thanks a lot thank you have a great --

Things I liked:It's lightweight and pretty quiet. On top of that, it's a pretty accurate gun. I shot quarters at 15 yards, and it's great for plinking cans in the backyard. My 9-year old niece can handle it very well, so it's a great buy for beginners. Things I would have changed:The scope it comes with isn't the greatest, but it's a start. The pump can be a pain for some when you first get the gun, but it gradually gets easier. What others should know:I own a Remington Vantage 1200, a Big Cat 1200, a Gamo Bone Collector, and several others, and the Recruit is by far the best value for the money. Things I liked:this is a great gun. its easy to sight in and i have hit my target every time. this is a great gun if you are looking at it BUY IT!!! Things I would have changed:the bbs are kind of hard to get into the loading chamber. What others should know:defiantly get the gun with a scope. Things I liked:Lightweight, inexpensive, very quiet. Perfect for indoor target practice with variable power and nobody can hear it. It's amazing how many shooters can enjoy it with the collapsible stock. Reliable: I have put 2500+ shots through this thing without a problem. The weight and absence of recoil and noise mean that my 9-year old sister can shoot this for hours without fatigue. It's like clicking a mouse. Things I would have changed:Filling in the stock really would make the Recruit more solid. Also, safety is not ambidextrous. Finally, the rear sight scratches the bottom of the scope. Scope can be a pain at first; windage and elevation adjust is vague. Spend a few minutes and you will be rewarded with unreasonably tight groups. But then again, this thing cost less than a pair of jeans. What others should know:There are certainly more accurate and powerful rifles out there, but few are as easy to live with and ask for so little ($50?!). I own a range of rifles and consider the Recruit a favorite. If you want to introduce someone (or yourself) to airguns, or want to sharpen your shooting inside while the weather sucks, this is could be the best $50 you will ever spend.
