Here is a list of Spanish movies that will also qualify for your Spanish 1L or 2L Lab requirement, if you watch them at home or at a movie theater. Most of these may be found at video rental stores (such as Blockbuster or NetFlix). This is not a definitive list; if you find another film that you want to use, please clear it with your instructor. Even though some of these films have English titles, to qualify for the requirement, the spoken dialogue for all films MUST be in the Spanish language, unless approved by your instructor. It is OK if they have subtitles in English (or your native language other than Spanish).
Keep in mind also that these are foreign films. Content of a violent or sexual nature may be different from American films with which you are familiar.

"His stage times [on the final day] were very, very nice," said Stohl. "We still have to work on the small mistakes and the concentration but it is improving. For sure the economic situation is not so easy [in Brazil] also but I am hoping we can continue somehow. Even if it's not a top, top programme, the most important thing is for him to continue, otherwise everything he has done so far will be a waste."
Oliveira, whose Ford Fiesta RS WRC is co-driven by Carlos Magalhaes, said: "We made a great progress this year and we will work hard for a comeback next year."

Oil is the source of so much pain in the world. Around the globe, wherever oil is extracted, people suffer a constellation of injuries, from coups and dictatorship to pollution, displacement and death.

LISA SHAY is the kind of person who deserves to be happy in life but probably never will be. At least not while she's in high school... or college... or her twenties. So she spends her days doing all she can to fly under the radar, lest the people she encounters – her mother, Dalia, the postman – compound the pain. And who can blame her? Her parents shower all their love and devotion on her brother Ryan; Chatswin High glitterati respect only the Nordic and faux-Nordic; and the postman has a chip on his shoulder because he was supposed to be a doctor. Best to let these years slip by and come out of her shell after 2030 or a nuclear winter, whichever comes last.
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Allie Grant has wanted to be an actress for as long as she can remember. At the age of 10 she was cast in the role of Isabella Hodes on the Showtime hit Weeds, and shares 2007 and 2009 Screen Actors Guild nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Grant played Elizabeth Perkins' daughter on the show for five seasons.
In 2009, Grant had her stage debut in How I Learned to Drive at The Chandler Theatre Studio, North Hollywood. She played the role of 11 Year Old Lil'Bit. She has also guest starred on Private Practice.
Grant is valedictorian of her high school graduating class of 2011. She will attend Harvard's Summer Program before shooting Suburgatory for ABC, in which she plays a socially awkward teen who befriends the series' lead.
Grant is 17 years old and resides in Los Angeles.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
November 1, 2010 From Daigle To Datsyuk NCAA Season Kicks Off
by Corey Pronman
Displaying pretext
This week I will be sharing some notes on Division-I College games I have observed over the last few weeks. How could you not love college hockey and from an entertainment standpoint, it�s an area of hockey that is underrated in the mainstream. There�s always hype for the Under-20 tournament as well as the Memorial Cup, but those of you who don�t watch the Frozen Four are doing yourselves a disservice. There are some very talented players in the NCAA, who exhibit higher physical maturity than you see from players in Junior, which results in everyone getting to watch a quality product on the ice.
Chris Kreider, Left Wing, New York Rangers (Boston College)
When you take a kid out of a U.S. high school, you typically expect to see a fair amount of rawness in their game because of the poor competition they�re up against on a daily basis, the small number of games played and an overall bad hockey environment for a pro prospect. As long as the tools are there, if the prospect learns the game correctly, one can be optimistic about said prospect. In Kreider�s case the tools are there, and his skating and shot tools are both definite plusses. On more than one occasion I saw him breaking away into open ice to get off a shooting opportunity. Chris has also gotten stronger, one time after he let a shot go near the dot from the left circle, a defender about his size tried to check him but Kreider followed through with his shoulder and planted the guy on his rear-end. Kreider�s hockey sense though is still very off. His positioning at times was horrid, especially on the power play where he hung his teammates out to dry on missed cycles and he made some questionable decisions with the puck. As stated previously, rawness is typical with high school guys. He�s only 1.5 years removed and there have been subtle improvements, but the longer this goes without correction, the more I get concerned that this isn�t just a high school thing.

Is Costco above its customers?The rule of thumb in marketing is if you want to succeed in business, you should listen to your customers, reflect their opinions in your products and services, and make your business as customer-friendly as possible. It is more true in the business-to-consumer (B2C) sector. We do not even have to go to a business school to learn this as it is common sense. But there is one U.S. firm that seemingly thinks it is an exception to this simple business principle. Costco Wholesale Korea, the Korean unit of the U.S. outfit, has turned a deaf ear to growing consumer complaints about its ``customer-unfriendly'' payment policy that requires members to pay for purchases with either cash or credit cards issued only by Samsung Card. This is in contrast with other membership warehouse clubs and retail outlets. This exclusive business partnership with the card unit of the country's largest conglomerate has angered many customers who do not hold Samsung cards. But Costco has no intention of abandoning its payment policy due to benefits from lower transaction fees. The warehouse membership club pays Samsung only 0.7 percent commission while its competitors pay card issuers about 1.5 percent. This is at the expense of shoppers because they cannot use other credit cards that offer more cashback schemes and other benefits. It seems that regardless of Costco's customer policies, members will spend big bucks there anyway. Customers are willing to wait in long lines to park their car, to maneuver their cart among the crowds and stand in line again to pay for their items at any of Costco's seven outlets across the country. This is because Costco offers a variety of merchandise which E-Mart and other retailers do not sell and at lower prices. But how long will this last? It took years for Costco to gradually earn such a presence in the local market but consumers could easily flock to the next venture that offers similar types of foreign products at discount prices. This reporter would like to also point out some problems in Costco Wholesale Korea's dealings with media inquiries. The public relations department is actually unable to relate to the public. Despite repeated calls for comments on its Samsung-only card policy, the company refused to explain why it maintains the exclusive partnership with Samsung and only said it did not want to discuss the subject. A company spokesman whom this reporter will only call by his surname, Park, even hung upon after shouting ``no comment.'' It seems Costco hopes the controversy over its payment policy will soon die down. But members want to know the reasons behind why only Samsung and whether it will ever be more customer-friendly regarding payment policy. Remember, the customer is king. |

Influential, Frivolous, Sinuous, Brilliant, Posh and Prim. It's a list of pleasant feeling words to help you develop your emotional literacy! So now, if you are having difficulty describing your feelings you can turn to your Antoinette collection for help. Yay! "Believe in the power of play."
I don't think I've ever felt pure. Pure anger, yes. Pure lust, yes. But just pure, no.
Here's a part definition from Merriam-Webster's OnLine Dictionary:
3 a (1) : free from what vitiates, weakens, or pollutes (2) : containing nothing that does not properly belong b : free from moral fault or guilt c : marked by chastity : continent d (1) : of pure blood and unmixed ancestry (2) : homozygous in and breeding true for one or more characters e : ritually clean...
The best part of Pure besides her wonderful Antoinette body and pretty face are the boots. But these are not worth $166.
The handbag is stiff and looks awkward on her arm. The shawl is just an edged piece of fabric without a lining or anything. She came with no jewelry.
What was I thinking when I ordered her? I wanted a raven-haired Antoinette.
It's depressing.
It's depressing.

"Relação qualidade/preço imbatível"Avaliado por um cliente do Hoteis.com em 11 Dez 2012
Adorei a preocupação em satisfazer o menor pedido do cliente, a cultura de serviço ao cliente é espantosa, mesmo se o hotel não apresenta instalações fantásticas.
"Bom hotel para quem quer simplesmente dormir...."Avaliado por um cliente do Hoteis.com em 5 Nov 2012
O hotel é bom. nada a reclamar.. simples, limpo e o estacionamento nao tive problemas..... o preço é muito bom considerando ter estacionamento e ainda café da manha (simples) mas nos EUA é uma maravilha poder antes de sair tomar um suco de laranja, comer um pao assado, um sucrilhos e etc.....se voce quer aproveitar a cidade e seus arredores... recomendo muito

Excelente relação preço qualidade do tipo Hotel Ibis. Localização muito próxima do aeroporto. Longe dos principais pontos de interesse, no entanto, uma visita a LA de curta duração obriga sempre a usar carro para os visitar, pelo que não foi um problema.

Dear Ritz Carlton hotel, My four-night stay with my father was amazing!

Plus, the member's lounge on 11th floor, with breakfast, lunch, hors d'oeuvres and dessert, all made this trip to Los Angeles the most magnificent stay at the most beautiful hotel we have ever experienced. We were on cloud 11! Thus, the complimentary yoga on Saturday morning was just what I needed and it completely fulfilled my trip to Los Angeles. Everything was excellent!

Marina view is lovely, but the hotel does sit on a busy road so when you are at the pool area, there is a constant buzz of traffic.
