Ovopur, Award-Winning Water Cooler Style
Filed under: Gadgets
Water coolers have traditionally been ugly, functional things with disposable plastic tops and ugly plastic bases, but not anymore. Not if Aquaovo has anything to say about it, as their award-winning water cooler design is a functional and beautiful work of art. Ovopur has no right angles but is made up entirely of gentle curves to ease the flow of water naturally and to symbolize abundance, rebirth, purity, and infinity. Handcrafted according to the age-old traditions of Chinese artisans, the Ovopur is also an environmentally friendly option because it needs no energy to work (relying instead on gravity to filter and replenish the water) and is made up almost entirely of recycled or recyclable parts. Even the filter cartridges are reusable -- you can return them for a rebate on new filter purchases.
Available in several different colors and both floor/countertop styles, Ovopur balances urban style with environmental awareness and traditional artisan craftsmanship. Prices vary, get it here for $895.

I don't find a whole lot of genuine fear in horror films. After decades of tuning in to the bleakest cinema one could imagine, I've become quite desensitized, as I would imagine many of you have. You only see so many heads explode, limbs severed, and heads bashed in by numerous blunt objects before it loses its shock value. I suppose that's just a factor in which the true horror buff must deal with. Don't get me wrong, I miss the sensation of cinema induced fear, but I don't anticipate recapturing that unmistakable feeling any time soon.
That said, there are a few films that do indeed lead to disrupted sleep. Many a nights I've woken in throes of sweat and anxiety, amazed at the nightmare that just transpired within the realms of deep sleep. Perhaps that's my subconscious alerting me that, somewhere deep, deep down that film truly did frighten me. Whatever the case, there's nothing quite like an exhilarating nightmare; here are a few flicks that crawled under my skin, once under the sheets.
A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy has a tendency to invade my dreams, which is profoundly creepy considering his modus operandi. Few features have summoned some of the hellish nightmares I've endured after viewing this one. Lord save me from those hideous blades.
The Exorcist: This is an interesting flick due to the fact that pacing is a significant roadblock in the film. However, Regan's outbursts are shocking on so many levels that it does dig into the psyche. The final act of the film is a nail biter that echoes a sentiment of sadness as well. This one definitely has influenced my sleep in the past. Interestingly enough, I wrote a short story based on a nightmare I had after watching this film.
Ils (Them): This feature was not only frightening realistic, it forced viewers to feel completely helpless and acknowledge that you just never know what can happen on any given day. This flick launched many a nightmare upon me; just knowing that being in the wrong place at the wrong time can result in horrific acts of torment is enough to birth a multitude of chilling nightmares for me.
Inside: This film is so unbelievably harrowing and deeply depressing that I'm actually amazed it earned a US release. As a father, I'm sensitive to acts of violence against mothers or children, and this flick took that idea to astonishing heights. The film is actually tough to stomach, and so are the nightmares that follow it.
A Serbian Film: I couldn't sleep well for a week after screening this picture. The concept of the film is so miserable and stomach turning that it actually makes you loathe humanity. It's a well told story, and it's as disturbing as any film you'll see today. The final act however will quite literally induce nausea. A Serbian Film terrified me in ways I cannot even express.

Completely racist to white people.
I have been with Wells Fargo since 1965. All through the changes of my finances they have all ways been extremely helpful and supportive. When I had extra sensitive statements with "their " account numbers on them, they always told me to bring them in to shred for security purposes. Their idea not mine.Today, I was greeted with no one I recognized. I saw no one I knew. I told the teller what I needed done. She gave a funny look, said she never heard of such a thing, got her so called branch manager, (he had no business card with his name printed on it). When she was talking to him, he had to lean over and see who she was talking about. It shouldn't matter how I look. He then came over and basically berated me for even thinking I could ask to have my statements taken care of. As of late I have seen other people being helped in the same way. But they were Asian, as were the teller and the manger. But not me, I'm white. Yes I said it. I am so sick of everyone playing the race card at the drop of a hat. So it has taken a tremendous push from those jerks at the bank for me to call Wells Fargo on the carpet. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would feel discriminated enough to make a formal statement. I have seen this type of behavior time and time again on the news, in the stores, even at my work and I have turned a blind eye to it, but no more. Everyone needs to understand that racism isn't done to everyone else but white people, it's done to white people far more than anyone thinks, and it needs to stop!

Deceptive and Unfair Lending Practices
I was encouraged by the local branch manager in Manchester, CT to apply for a small business loan. No fees for the loan were ever mentioned. After one week, my loan application was approved. I waited for five weeks for the paper work to come through from the main office. On the day of the closing I was informed that I would need to pay a $250 loan origination fee.
I withdrew my loan application and filed a complaint with the Feds for unfair and deceptive trade practices.

When i signed up Cristina Mendoza stated that i would not be charged a monthly fee
I signed up for a savings and a checking account and i specifically asked Cristina if i would get charged a fee and she specifically marked and stated that i would not because i meet the requirements for my fee to be waived. Two months later i got charge a 25 dollar fee. This is a breech of contract. I emailed Bank of America and they said i had the wrong savings account and the fee was correct. So they stated that their sales banker is incompetent and a liar. Whom violated verbal contract. Who knows nothing of any fees or how to waive them. She also ran my credit without my knowledge. And took a paper with my social security number on it out side the room for ten minutes. And she also spelt my name wrong when she had my drivers license right in front of her. WORST BANK EVER.! Incompetent, liars, poor customer service.

They stole my sons diaper money for the week!!
My account had been overdrawn, and if the account is overdrawn for 5 days, B of A charges a $35 a day fee. (Extended overdraft fee)
I overdraw my account every week (money is tight). Each week I recieve an email stating that I'll be charged this fee if money isn't in the account by the fifth day. I always have the money in there on the fifth day due to my husbands direct deposit from work each week. Last week my email stated that if there wasn't money in my account by the 6th, I would be charged this fee. I wasn't worried because, like I said, this is a weekly thing for us, and I knew that our money would be in there at 12 a.m. on the 6th. It was. I woke up with my husband at 4 a.m. and while I was up, I checked the account, everythingwas fine . I paid our phone bill and bought 1 christmas gift. I had just enough money in the account left to buy our 1 yr old his diapers for the week. But when I went to buy them, my card declined. I checked my online banking and realized that B of A had charged a $35 extended overdraft fee. So therefor, my son had no diapers this week. The first time I called I got a really ghetto guy who had no clue how to answer my questions. I asked for his manager and she was even younger and ghettoer! She had NO concern with my needing help. I asked for her boss and she told me no! These two wete obviously toying with me and my sons diapers. So I hang up and call back. I get this other guy who explains what the fee is (duh like I don't know) and that it won't be refunded but I can go into a branch. So by now, I'm in tears. My husband leaves work early and we go to a branch here in sacramento on broadway. The lady looks at our account and says " u already called to remove this and it won't be happening"
THEY CAUSED MY ACCOUNT TO BE OVERDRAWN 7 DAYS BEFORE WE GET PAID AGAIN, IN ORDER TO COLLECT ANOTHER $70 IN FEES NEXT WEEK TOO!! My baby has no diapers thanks to bank of america. They also wouldn't let us close the account!

Customer service is pathetic, they cannot even track their own calls!
I had called them twice regarding an interest accrual and late fee that was caused by a delay in the bank's own payment processing. The agents told me that it was because of a delay in how they had to process my payment so I should not be charged and will be taken care of. Then I get a collection letter in the mail, I call them and they say, payment due and they cannot find any trace of the last 2 calls! Unbelievable.
I cannot trust this bank with my money or my mortgage, getting out.

ZERO customer service!
When B of A sold some branches to washington federal my account automatically transferred so I went into the branch to cancel it. I was told I would either have to wait 30min or make an appointment to come back another time. I was then told I could call and do it over the phone. I called all day and only got a busy signal. I emailed them and got no response.The next day I called again and finally got through. The incredibly rude person on the phone told me she couldn't do anything. I asked for her supervisor and she told me she didn't have one! She said if I wanted a supervisor I would have to go to my local branch. Customer service reps without a supervisor, well that explains a lot. As a call center manager I can tell you right now if my agents didn't have supervisors we would go out of business. And if Washington Federal doesn't pull their head out and realize customers won't put up with that they will go under! There are plenty of banks that will bend over backwards for their customers. Citizens Community, US Bank, Glacier, Mountain West to name a few. Even B of A was a million times more helpful!

Exceptionally poor customer service
A fee charged to my account was generously promised
to be taken off. It is now week three, and the charges
still remain on the account. Have personally visited the
Forum Drive Bank 3 times with the promise that it would
be taken care of. As of this date, that has yet to be accomplished by the incompetent woman who made the promise. Will be visiting this week to talk to the Branch
Manager and then up the ladder I will go. Extremely frustrated and at age 70 have better things to do with my time.

KETTLEMAN CITY, Calif. (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it will investigate a cluster of birth defects in a central California town near the largest toxic-waste dump in the West.
Jared Blumenfeld of the EPA says Kettleman City is vulnerable because of the dump and the pesticides used in nearby farming fields. He says his agency wants to investigate whether the town's birth defects can be linked to those factors.
The Kings County Board of Supervisors recently approved expanding the 1,600-acre waste site in the San Joaquin Valley. The proposal still needs state and federal approval.
Residents filed a lawsuit against the board and say they want an investigation into the birth defects and infant deaths.

The Walking Dead kicks off the second half of its third season Sunday (10/9c, AMC), which marks the beginning of the end for former showrunner Glen Mazzara.
In late December, AMC announced that its megahit series — which drew a whopping 10.5 million viewers for its midseason finale — was renewed for a fourth season, but it would go on without Mazzara, who will be replaced by Dead writer Scott Gimple. This wasn't the first time that this has happened, either. Mazzara had actually replaced original showrunner Frank Darabont.

The latest news on new home sales
Why homeownership rates are falling among America's young adults.
The rate of new home sales continues to boom, though it's still a far cry from the pre-bubble era.
The housing industry is reclaiming its traditional role as an important job creation engine.
Real demand for housing is on the sidelines, particularly among younger Americans.
Real estate newbies make up almost 40 percent of the total buyer pool.
Experts weigh in on what buyers and sellers can expect.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Confidence among U.S. homebuilders rose this month to its highest level in six and a half years, driven by strong demand for newly built homes and growing optimism that the housing recovery will strengthen next year.
The benefits of home equity are frequently overrated by homeownership proponents.
Years of anemic demand and tight credit have given large public builders an upper hand.
A leading measure of home prices showed the second consecutive month of price gains.

I have NO idea how people see the censorship message more than the "television killing the interest in literature" message. The book basically flaunts this message in bright yellow neon signs
WHEN THE PULITZER PRIZES were handed out in May during a luncheon at Columbia University, two special citations were given. One went to John Coltrane (who died in 1967), the fourth time a jazz musician has been honored. The other went to Ray Bradbury, the first time a writer of science fiction and fantasy has been honored.
Bradbury, a longtime Los Angeles resident who leads an active civic life and even drops the Los Angeles Times letters to the editor on his views of what ails his town, did not attend, telling the Pulitzer board his doctor did not want him to travel.
But the real reason, he told the L.A. Weekly, had less to do with the infirmities of age (he turns 87 in August) than with the fact that recipients only shake hands with Lee C. Bollinger, Columbia University's president, and smile for a photograph.
He wanted to give a speech, but no remarks are allowed. "Not even a paragraph," he says with disdain.
In his pastel-yellow house in upscale Cheviot Hills, where he has lived for more than 50 years, Bradbury greeted me in his sitting room. He wore his now-standard outfit of a blue dress shirt with a white collar and a jack-o'-lantern tie (Halloween is his favorite day) and white socks. This ensemble is in keeping with Bradbury's arrested development. George Clayton Johnson, who gave us Logan's Run, says, "Ray has always been 14 going on 15."
Bradbury still has a lot to say, especially about how people do not understand his most literary work, Fahrenheit 451, published in 1953. It is widely taught in junior high and high schools and is for many students the first time they learn the names Aristotle, Dickens and Tolstoy.
Now, Bradbury has decided to make news about the writing of his iconographic work and what he really meant. Fahrenheit 451 is not, he says firmly, a story about government censorship. Nor was it a response to Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose investigations had already instilled fear and stifled the creativity of thousands.
This, despite the fact that reviews, critiques and essays over the decades say that is precisely what it is all about. Even Bradbury's authorized biographer, Sam Weller, in The Bradbury Chronicles, refers to Fahrenheit 451 as a book about censorship.
Bradbury, a man living in the creative and industrial center of reality TV and one-hour dramas, says it is, in fact, a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature.
"Television gives you the dates of Napoleon, but not who he was," Bradbury says, summarizing TV's content with a single word that he spits out as an epithet: "factoids." He says this while sitting in a room dominated by a gigantic flat-panel television broadcasting the Fox News Channel, muted, factoids crawling across the bottom of the screen.
His fear in 1953 that television would kill books has, he says, been partially confirmed by television's effect on substance in the news. The front page of that day's L.A. Times reported on the weekend box-office receipts for the third in the Spider-Man series of movies, seeming to prove his point.
"Useless," Bradbury says. "They stuff you with so much useless information, you feel full." He bristles when others tell him what his stories mean, and once walked out of a class at UCLA where students insisted his book was about government censorship. He's now bucking the widespread conventional wisdom with a video clip on his Web site (http://www.raybradbury.com/at_home_clips.html), titled "Bradbury on censorship/television."
As early as 1951, Bradbury presaged his fears about TV, in a letter about the dangers of radio, written to fantasy and science-fiction writer Richard Matheson. Bradbury wrote that "Radio has contributed to our 'growing lack of attention.' .?.?. This sort of hopscotching existence makes it almost impossible for people, myself included, to sit down and get into a novel again. We have become a short story reading people, or, worse than that, a QUICK reading people."
HE SAYS THE CULPRIT in Fahrenheit 451 is not the state — it is the people. Unlike Orwell's 1984, in which the government uses television screens to indoctrinate citizens, Bradbury envisioned television as an opiate. In the book, Bradbury refers to televisions as "walls" and its actors as "family," a truth evident to anyone who has heard a recap of network shows in which a fan refers to the characters by first name, as if they were relatives or friends.
The book's story centers on Guy Montag, a California fireman who begins to question why he burns books for a living. Montag eventually rejects his authoritarian culture to join a community of individuals who memorize entire books so they will endure until society once again is willing to read.
Bradbury imagined a democratic society whose diverse population turns against books: Whites reject Uncle Tom's Cabin and blacks disapprove of Little Black Sambo. He imagined not just political correctness, but a society so diverse that all groups were "minorities." He wrote that at first they condensed the books, stripping out more and more offending passages until ultimately all that remained were footnotes, which hardly anyone read. Only after people stopped reading did the state employ firemen to burn books.
I have NO idea how people see the censorship message more than the "television killing the interest in literature" message. The book basically flaunts this message in bright yellow neon signs
A critic once told Isaac Asimov, when he said the critic misunderstood his story, "Just because you wrote it, what makes you think you know anything about it?" I have read it several times. The book is what it is, and Radbury failed to get across the message he intended. The censorship message is writ large across it. The TV message is present, but fails to become the primary message.
Never mind that Bradbury (much like Roald Dahl) wrote many adaptations of his own stories for TV shows like Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone...
* Not to mention his own freaking 6 season series.
"Check-up" index sign fixs attention on people is livelihoodSurround "service" everywhere"body plank"Chinese the government performance evaluation in the website is the investigation that pays attention to to government"service ability" in the website first with the previous biggest difference this year.If"check-up" that sets against growth condition in the all levels website the valuation ratio in every year ranks so this year, can even display which website have enough"robust""body plank", load a society, public is need for website function.China tiffany heart earrings electronics information industry develops an institute for research director Lu Shan Fu emphasize in releasing willing, this year is around"service" construct of valuation index sign system.Enhance service function, is not only international trend, also constuct the request of service type government, is more public anxious demand."Guarantee and improvement people is livelihood", "guarantee public and business enterprise legal rights" and"establishing is transparent, the government of democracy" become three important aspects that consider "service".http://www.tiffanymy.com/tiffa...
A character in the book clearly sums up the situation that led to the burning of books - not government censorship, but lack of interest and weak attention spans. The fact that many bozos still think this book is identical in theme to 1984 only proves Bradbury's point - they did not read the book and base their opinion of the novel on (misleading) cliff notes.

Too many people have only seen the movie and not read the book. They watch the fire chief in the black uniform with rank insignia similar to an SS gruppenfuhrer talking about removing books as distractions and immediately make the connection with 1984. The chief reflects the majority's opinion. The majority empowered the fire department to burn books for the same reasons that cities now ban roosters: relics of a previous age, disruptive, and cause more problems than they are worth. Wall screens had the same impact. People see screens and start thinking Ministry of Truth, bombarding citizens with propaganda.
Maybe we've lost our ability to independently evaluate something. Now it's similar to this item or opposite of this item. Since we collectively don't know very much, our comparisons are consequently limited and often wrong.

I am reading Fahrenheit 541 in my literature class right now. We just finished a webquest presentation that centered about censorship and the subject of banned materials. I believe that the subject of banned material is evident in the book. Censorship is as well in that the gov't is going giving you certain things to believe. But, then again, there is that the people were choosing to pull themselves away from literature, and that spurned the decision, to me, to rid the world of knowledge that had fed the generations-Einstein, biblical writers, Jefferson, Washington, etc. It is your point of view that affects how you see the book, but I believe that both censorship and the act of banning materials is in the book.
Bradbury is right..tv does cause a big distraction in our world.! its like why read books when the good ones are gonaa be movys anyways rite..well i say no way because books are books. They illustrate the the whole picture and bring out the writers heart into your mind. They explain the thing while movys are just a joke to catch ur attention..GO RAY..im with you dawg=]]
Well, this is very interesting. This article gave me another perspective of how Television is being watched.And the radio, I completlye agree that it's distracting to try and read when you love listening to your favorite music.
The television theme is an integral part of the book; however, the censorship theme is just as important and integral. Also, when I heard Mr. Bradbury at the UCLA Book Festival several years ago, he highlighted the censorship theme of the book. The Coda of the book also highlights the censorship theme. It seems the book themes--television makes zoombies and censorship--are prevalent and significant in Fahrenheit 451.
My comments to be quite frank. Mr. Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is a great book. Who needs Televison anyway, has anyone been paying attention? Not to glorify Televison what are they the Media doing but supporting the high cost of living, not to mention sometime earlier this year, anyone whom watches Television has to buy an adaptor to get reception for viewing. Oh unless they go out and buy a flat screen Television. Enough, I can't believe I went there, I almost forgot I wanted to thank Mr. Ray Bradbury for his vsit to Long Beach City Collage three years ago. Congrats, Ray on the Pulitzer Prize. Ray is the last of the old school writers. God Bless Ray Bradbury. lloyd Hamilton
Ilove the novel Fahrenheit 451.Basause I love my planet &books. Ray Bradbury is one of my favourite writers.
Its way to confusing of a book. Id much rather be watching reality T.V right now then be trying to find a articl about this book.
... Oh yeah english teachers suck balls.
I totally agree with Bradbury's view of the theme of the novel. I see more of that than censorship and how television ruined Montag's relationship with his wife and makes everyone oblivious to the world. Why don't they teach that view point in schools?
yo need to make it easier to find information on some of the stuff . i needed to getinformation about how he got ideas for his stories,and what is the author's advice to young writers, and i wasnt able to find it
HA! Ray, my man, lied to the Pulitzer Prize board so he didn't have to leave his room because there was no reward for going all the way to the ceremony. No lame handshake for him. This grumpy seclusive old fart has no faith in humanity, and I love it. Many would call him frank and selfish, I call him realistic and witty.
I adore Ray Bradbury. This country is blessed to call him her own, and this world is filled to riches with his incredible work and with his passionate life. What a glorious man he is. What an inspiration he is. What a great American...what a great Human being he is. I have met him a few times at book signings and civic events. Always a gentleman and good natured and so touching and wonderful. He has moved me to tears. He is just a dear man and just thinking about him makes me break down and cry rivers...and then I write or dream or live more deeply than ever before. I guess you might call that inspiration. Ray Bradbury is living inspiration.
I completely agree with the assesement of 451 presented in thisarticle. I am in the basement of Powell Library where Bradburysupposedly wrote this book as we speak. Seeing all of these studentstyping on rented laptops from CLIC (College library InstructionalComputing Commons)I wonder if, glued to the Internet, their verysituatedness in the mass media Bradbury decried means none of them arewriting the next Fahrenheit 451.
Very enlightening and informative comment/ interview. The question whether Fahrenheit 451 is about totalitarian state power or abuse of TV doesn't matter, you can read any good book from different perspectives. So far I've only seen the film, which was very interesting and touching, but I plan to read the book with my English class. The crucial topic is "minorities", I hope it will work out with this book.

Journalists interested in covering the event can contact Aida Shabani at (562) 310-8710 [email@example.com].
Being an active teacher, it's highly interesting to see Ray Bradbury himself confirm an idea I often had reading the book. But on the other hand he wrote Fahrenheit with so many ideas about the state and its citizens in future that this must be just one idea amongst many of how to read the book, not 'the big thing'. It however is a charming one meaning mass media are not without danger.
As a former teacher, I had a crack at Bradbury each fall as students dragged themselves in from the heat and humidity to another 180 days of...books. We talked about reading, its usefulness to them--or lack thereof--and the causes for its decline. Almost all of my students pointed to the impact of television; most of them could not articulate with any great clarity why television overwhelms reading, only that watching is easier than engaging the written word. Bradbury has it right: television blunts awareness, providing a veneer of factoids, rumor, and innuendo that plays at civic and communal involvement. It is not just a matter of kids watching inordinant blocks of tube...it also includes large numbers of adults who knowingly submerge themselves into trivial pursuit. To so many, reading is slow, laborious, and irrelevant in comparison to the superficial swirl in which so many have invested. Bradbury gets it, but so many of us don't...

An entertaining journey
By Welshslider (34 reviews) from Cwmbran , 21 May 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Hook is entertaining. The children will love the film with its over sized and colourful sets and at the same time will keep the adults mildly entertained. There is a great score by the ever reliable John Williams to help the pace and with good acting by Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman to compliment the film. There is a great scene with the kids at meal time which will bring a smile to any child and adult. Overall a good film and is worthy of being one of those Sunday afternoon family get togethers around the TV.- Was this review helpful to you?

(46)One of Spielberg's Worst
By Glynnie (15 reviews) , 16 Nov 2013Spielberg really hit a dud with this one. Coming off the success of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade hopes were high for this adventure but Spielberg opts for juvenile rather than intelligent storytelling. The film is too interested in it's 8 year old audience to make you care about any threat of danger that the film could have had. I didn't care about any of the Lost Boys or Peter Pan himself. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman are watchable but the film is so disappointing considering the talent on board. Not as bad as 1941 or Kingdom of the Crystal Skull but far from Spielberg's best. This would actually prove to be Spielberg's last bad film as he redeemed himself with Jurassic Park 2 years later.- Was this review helpful to you?

It's for the kids!!!
By Padhole (1 review) , 03 Jul 2013As a big Spielberg fan, I have recently been going back to watch the forgotten movies of his career, this being one of them, and have been kinda shocked, as an adult, at how poor the movies actually are... No one can fault the ambition or production of Hook, it's the tone that is the problem. Overly sentimental, incredibly short handed with the supporting cast and has issues with the kiddy violence (it is, after all, adults fighting children)... But, as with all spielbergs films, there is something about this film that makes me feel young, a sense of wonder that can only be achieved in the movies. Couple this with John Williams fantastic score, beautiful set design and dustin Hoffman providing an amusing riff on the old villain actually feeling old as well as chewing the scenery whenever he is on screen... All in all, it is a wonderful movie for the kids but for the adults watching, you'll not be able to get past the sugary coating- Was this review helpful to you?

Bring on Christmas!
By Tedesco (33 reviews) from Epsom , 10 Apr 2013Huge production (had to be Spielberg - nobody else would have got the budget for it on such a lavish scale). Hook (Dustin Hoffmann) is well disguised, whilst Williams' 'acting' is the worst I've seen. Maggie Smith is her usual self and great at it! The film bumbles along until we get to the huge imaginary Pirate set where everything, gags, fights etc. just happens like clockwork... At Christmas the kids will probably enjoy it - but it's too long at 2 hours 16 minutes. Surprisingly the 'special features' are not special at all - just commercials, some silly game and some stills....- Was this review helpful to you?

The Boy Who Grew Up
By Worluck (5 reviews) , 04 Mar 2013It has been 30 years since Peter Pan left Neverland, forgetting everything that made him who he was. With his wife and two children, Peter visits Granny Wendy in London. But on one dark night, a note stuck on the door with a dagger expalins that Captain James Hook has kidnapped Peter's children, demanding a final duel to the death. Wendy and Tinkerbell must help Peter remember his previous life as the Boy Who Never Grew Up if he is to save his children.- Was this review helpful to you?

A memorable childrens film that has dated.
By Unreal1066 (29 reviews) from Northwood , 04 Dec 2012When this was released in 1991 I was just a little nipper. I had really enjoyed the film. I decided I wanted to enjoy a film I haven't seen for many years. This is my current review - well the film is so long, it is about 2 and a half hours long and takes ages to get going. The Sets look like studio sets and don't give you a real feeling of being outside. The story is quite an original take on peter pan though, the pace could pick up quicker for 2012 audiances. It has dated is now disapointing. The best characters are Hook and the lead lost boy the one with red hair. Still i'm glad I watched it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Comments about Mamas and Papas Mamas & Papas Dangly Octopus:
We bought these items on sale for our 6 month old, but they were an instant hit with his older siblings. Lots of cute things for the baby to discover as he plays with this item, but he primarily wants to eat it. A little pricey, less expensive alternatives, but satisfied with the purchase.

Ruth Pogacnik, assistant professor of economics, accounting and business administration, has by far been my favorite professor at Mount Union because she took accounting topics that could easily be boring to people and made them fun and exciting! She is my advisor, so she is doing a wonderful job keeping me on track with all of my classes as well as offering me sound advice. She was also very supportive of my decision to minor in art. She's a fantastic teacher who wants me to excel in my major and life in general.

text: It is the triumph of youth in the 2012 NBA FInals, with the Oklahoma City Thunder representing the West and the Miami Heat carrying the East. It has been a long time since the NBA has seen a marquee matchup of this sort, the reigning league MVP LeBron James going head to head versus scoring champion Kevin Durant. Both teams are young, with the just-about-30 year old Dwayne Wade as the resident geezer in this pack. Wade, the man who won the first NBA championship in franchise history for Miami in 2006, is joined by fellow members of that great draft class of 2003. James of course was the high school phenom out of the great state of Ohio who went straight to the pros. Chris Bosh was in that class as well. All three came together last year in South Beach, in what many said would be a championship team for the ages. Things have not quite worked out as planned. Bosh and James are also pushing 30 but are in their hoops prime. This is a Big 3 looking to go for all the marbles right now and into the near future. Oklahoma City is even younger, with all their key stars at 24 years or younger. This is a team that will likely dominate the NBA landscape for the next decade or so, establishing a new dynasty. That they beat the more experienced Heat 105-94 in Game 1 of the Finals is already a major step toward that. Durant is simply a freak of nature, a 6-foot-11, long-limbed jumping jack who can play all five positions just like Magic Johnson a generation ago. He is joined in their youth core by guard Russel Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Serge Ibaka and newly-crowned NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Harden. Steadying the ship are veterans pointguard Derek Fisher, late of the Los Angeles Lakers, and center Kendrick Perkins. Oklahoma took a relatively easier route to these Finals, losing only three times in the Western Conference Playoffs while bouncing erstwhile champion Dallas, the Lakers and the aging San Antonio Spurs. Miami had to fight through a 2-3 series deficit in their Eastern Conference Finals versus the tough and battle-hardened Boston Celtics, as that series went the full seven games. They reactivated Bosh only in that Game 7 after he suffered through an abdominal muscle injury. Oklahoma is a deeper team with springs for legs. They can easily run right past or jump over any other NBA team, which they showed throughout the playoffs. They certainly made these heat look older than they are with all the running and jumping they did in Game 1. Ibaka and Durant had easily the best dunks done with total impunity in opponents' faces in a Finals series since Shaquille O'Neal was in a Lakers uniform. But the prettiest shot to my mind was when Westbrook made a stop-on-a-dime pull-up jumper in transition that found nothing but the bottom of the net. It was a display of pure athletic prowess that the Heat simply were unable to match. This Game 1 showed not just the best players in the world going at it. It also showed why a team game beats sueprstar isolation plays every time. While Miami insisted on all manner of high post, dribble drive and isolation plays featuring James or Wade, the Thunder barely saw the ball touch the floor in their halfcourt sets. Those end-game dunks by Nick Collison that all but giftwrapped the game for the Thunder came off simple short passes and movement without the ball. It was as if the Heat suddenly forgot what a screen-roll and a pick-roll looked like. They drove and they drove and they drove, and yet consistently ran into fast feet on the Thunder defense, cutting off driving lanes, with equally fast hands disrupting passing lanes. Sefolosha had a heck of a time picking passes that resulted into swooping dunks for his teammates. Durant led all scorers with 36 points. James had 30 for the Heat. Wade was woeful from the field, missing 10 or 11 of his first dozen or so shots. He still wound up with 19 points and eight assists, but was practically invisible in the second half, leaving James to try and fight the Thunder on his own. Wade insisted in the post-game that he'll do better in Game 2. Durant and Westbrook seemed too polite in the wake of probably the biggest win of their young careers. Game 2 will be another raucous night in Oklahoma City. These finalists may be young, but they are far from restless.

What's been your favorite vacation destination?
"As an adult my favorite vacation would have to be the Rockies. Colorado has always had a close place in my heart. But as a child I always went to the northern states and I'd have to say that they had the best family oriented activities, such as the Great Lakes and many a fun time on the Mississippi. If it involved water, we were there."

Ten @ 10: Learning to do without
Posted by Bill Daley
'Tis the season of self-denial for many Christians as Lent triggers the countdown to Easter, which is celebrated April 24 this year by both the Eastern and Western churches. Today, "Clean Monday," is the first day of Lent on the Eastern church calendar while the West's "Ash Wednesday" takes place this week too.
For many of the faithful, the "giving up" of the next few weeks will focus on food or drink. My beloved father-in-law, for example, gave up all forms of booze as that last toot of Mardi Gras faded into history. That's why he faithfully greeted the resurrection on Easter Sunday at 3 or 4 a.m. with a double Manhattan joyfully in-hand.

August is a most eventful month. A few fashion highlights: The weeklong Isle of Wight sailing regatta in Cowes, England, with its superpreppy looks, was contrasted by the funky surfer crew at the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, Calif., where boardshorts, bikinis and boots co-mingled. Then there was England's Nadder Valley Fun Dog Show & Air Display competition to pick the owner who looks most like his or her dog. Here, comfort was key, and easy, ankle-grazing dresses and jeans were the winners.
