Henrico's Top Teachers – Catherine "Kitti" Huber
Skipwith E.S., second grade
You might say that Skipwith Elementary is home to Catherine "Kitti" Huber, and not just because she attended the school as a child or because she's taught there for 12 years – or even because her daughter, Tara, also has taught there for the past four years. In reality, Skipwith is home because of the students she's taught and the community she's watched grow up. "I've been in [teaching] long enough now that many of my students have become adults," says Huber, who teaches second grade at the school and whose career spans nearly three decades, including 28 years in Henrico County (at Ratcliffe and Fair Oaks in addition to Skipwith). "One of my first-graders is a professor in college now. I've watched little people become big people. It's really amazing sometimes how similar the adults who come back to you are as the children you taught." One of the great joys of teaching young students, Huber says, is witnessing their reactions when they realize they've learned something. Reading, in particular, often draws the most noteworthy reactions. "They normally realize that they can read when they're not in school," Huber says. "I've had so many kids come in one day and say, 'Guess what happened to me this weekend!'" When Huber's own children attended Skipwith, she worried that its lack of diversity might create a world view for them that was too narrow. "And now we're one of the most diverse elementary schools in the whole county," she says. Huber recalls a snack break in her classroom several years ago, during which a half-dozen students – each a different ethnicity – sat down together and passed a small chalkboard around, taking turns writing "Hello" in their native languages. "I watched those kids and I thought, They're taking turns, they're sharing, they're relating to each other. If we could do this everywhere all over the world, all the issues that we have could be resolved." To parents and colleagues alike, Huber's ability to motivate students is second to none. "She challenges her students to think and solve problems instead of just memorizing facts," one parent wrote in a nomination letter. "The skills they are learning from her will last a lifetime." Huber challenges her students to make any situation a learning situation. She intentionally makes spelling and grammatical mistakes on letters home and asks students to identify the mistakes, correct them and write both pieces of information on an index card. Once they've turned in 10 cards, they earn 10 minutes of free time. Students who complete reading comprehension tests as part of an ongoing accelerated reading program earn a free t-shirt after they've completed a specified number. Those who earn their shirts before Huber herself does receive a break from homework. Three already have done so, and one student didn't stop there. "He's been lugging around this 412-page book," Huber says. Huber also has played an integral role in the school's Destination Imagination program (formerly Odyssey of the Mind), a program that encourages teamwork, problem solving and creativity by presenting challenges for teams of students to complete during a period of several months. She coached the school's team in the 1980s as a parent, then started a team at Ratcliffe as a teacher and re-started the Skipwith program when she returned to the school. Today she serves on the Destination Imagination regional board. Huber meets a group of friends once a month for lunch. Most are retired teachers and former coworkers of hers, and they often wonder why she hasn't joined their ranks yet. "Everybody is saying, Isn't it time yet?" Huber says. "And I don't think it is." |

Q & A with Spring 2011 Commencement Speaker Emily Donahue
May 3, 2010 -- Western State College of Colorado (WSC) will confer bachelor's degrees to 293 students at its spring 2011 commencement on Saturday, May 7. Emily Donahue, of Idaho Springs, Colo., will present the student address.
Spring 2011 commencement student speaker Emily Donahue demonstrates her chemistry expertise by igniting lycopodium, a highly flammable powder.
When she was not playing with fire in the chemistry lab, Donahue kept busy with intramural sports, student clubs and community projects. A chemistry major, Donahue will attend pharmacy school at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville in the fall. In the meantime, she plans to spend her summer in Gunnison working as a summer camp coordinator with Parks and Recreation.
In addition to graduating summa cum laude, Donahue has been honored with an Alumni Award for Excellence, Achievement in Organic Chemistry Award and Freshman Achievement in General Chemistry Award, in addition to receiving several scholarships. She has served as president of the Chemistry Club and vice president of the ALPS student leadership organization.
As the commencement speaker, Donahue wants her peers to reflect back on their time at Western and how their college experiences have shaped them. In the following Q&A, she looks back on her own memories from Western and the Gunnison Valley.
Q: What have you been involved with at Western?
A: I was the vice president of ALPS for two years. I have been the president of the Chemistry Club for the last two years. I play intramural sports including volleyball and softball. As a member of ALPS I have involved myself with community service projects like Relay for Life, Community Clean-Up and English as a Second Language.
Q: How did you find out about Western?
A: My senior year of high school, I received a letter inviting me to tour Western State College of Colorado. I was already pretty set on going to the University of Colorado Boulder, but, when I read about the school and found out that they had a science program, I decided to come for a Preview Day. I was instantly hooked and I haven't regretted attending Western.
Q: What do you love about Western and the Gunnison Valley community?
A: I love that Western provides students with so many ways to get out into the community and become involved. Gunnison supports the college so much and it's wonderful to have the opportunity to go to town events and to be involved in community service projects. I also love our beautiful surroundings! From fishing, to climbing, to snowboarding, there is always something fun to do outdoors. Gunnison is also a place enriched with culture. Events put on by the Gunnison Arts Center or by various groups at the college allow students with a variety of interests to find a way to become involved.
Q: Have there been professors that have really influenced your growth as a student?
A: There are too many to name just one. Gary Pierson (vice president for student affairs), although he is not a professor, had a huge impact on me my freshman year. The events that he organized as our ALPS coordinator helped me break out of my shell and explore all that Gunnison has to offer. Dale Orth (professor of chemistry), who acted as my advisor for the majority of my college career, taught me the joy of being challenged. When Dale told me that I had succeeded, I knew I had truly done something special. Jason Mullins (assistant professor of chemistry), who has been my advisor for this past year while Dale has been away on sabbatical, has done everything in his power to help me succeed. From writing letters of recommendation for me to sitting with me for hours talking about my future, he has always shown a desire to see me excel. Anne Ryter (professor of chemistry) has acted almost like a substitute mom! She listens to my struggles and cheers when I succeed. Last, but not least, Jarral Ryter (lecturer in chemistry) has done everything he can to ensure that science is fun. His child-like approach toward chemistry reminds us all to enjoy life. The beauty of Western is that I am surrounded by a community of professors who care about my success.
Q: Name a memorable WSC experience that will stay with you through time.
A: One of the first nights I came to Western, practically every kid in Ute Hall, including myself, went to college hill to go ice blocking. I had never even heard of ice blocking let alone seen it in action. As I skidded down that steep hill with nothing but ice and a towel between me and the ground, I realized that college was going to be an adventure!
Q: Why did you want to be the student commencement speaker?
A: I applied to be commencement speaker because I wanted the opportunity to reflect with my fellow students on all that we have accomplished. Before we move on to whatever life has in store, I think it's important to remember all of the milestones we've experienced while we've been at Western.
Q: What can we expect to hear in your address on Saturday?
A: Well, I don't want to give too much away, but students can expect my speech to be a general reflection on some events that I think almost every Western student experiences. I could tell you more, but to be honest I don't know too much more about it myself yet. I still have some writing to do!
Q: What do you hope your fellow graduates will take away from your speech?
A: I hope that my address on Saturday helps students reflect on all that they've accomplished and all the wonderful memories that they've built. Western has helped mold us all into the people we have become and we will use the experiences we've had here to help us face the challenges ahead. Hopefully, students will feel encouraged to face the challenges that await without fear.
Q: What are your future plans?
A: I will be staying in Gunnison for the summer and then I plan to move to Illinois in the fall to attend pharmacy school at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.

Temuera Morrison Movies
Boasting brooding good looks which have allowed him to play both edgy heroes and fearsome villains,
Temuera Morrison
is one of New Zealand's best-recognized actors, and perhaps the most visible Maori performer in the world.
was born in the tourist community of Rotorua; his instincts as a performer came naturally, given his father's career as a musician and the fact his uncle, Sir Howard Morrison, was one of the nation's best-loved entertainers. After completing high school,
briefly worked with his uncle, but before long he decided to go into acting, and studied drama through New Zealand's Special Performing Arts Training Scheme.
's SPATS training led to his first film role, in the drama
Other Halves
, and in 1988 he got to show some comic flair in the James Bond parody
Never Say Die
. In 1993,
was hired as the Maori dialogue advisor on the international hit
The Piano
, but his big break came a year later, when
was cast as Jake Heke, an alcoholic and abusive Maori husband and father, in the acclaimed drama
Once Were Warriors
's vivid performance won him the Best Actor trophy at the 1994 New Zealand Film and TV Awards, and the attention brought
to Hollywood. However,
's initial American roles were in a handful of would-be blockbusters which died on the vine commercially speaking, including
Barb Wire
The Island of Dr. Moreau
, and
Speed 2: Cruise Control
. However,
fared better at the box office with 2000's
Vertical Limit
, and the year before he made a triumphant return to New Zealand to star in the sequel to
Once Were Warriors
What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?
The film did not receive the same degree of international attention as the original, but it was popular and well-reviewed in New Zealand, and
's second turn as Jake won him another Best Actor prize from the New Zealand Film and TV Awards.

A test pilot embraces his destiny as a cosmic superhero in Casino Royale director Martin Campbell's adaptation of the popular DC Comics series. Ever since he saw his fearless father perish in a tragic aviation mishap, all Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) could think about was flying -- it was the only thing the brash, cocky, and irresponsible test pilot ever truly excelled at. Little did he realize he was destined for something much bigger. Somewhere out in space, a powerful force of evil known as Parallax is spreading fear and destruction; the only hope for defeating Parallax is the Green Lantern Corps, a group of intergalactic warriors powered by the force of will. When legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) is sent hurtling toward planet Earth after a deadly encounter with Parallax, his ring chooses Hal to continue the fight. The ring spirits our hero away to the Green Lantern's home planet of Oa for training. The first human ever to receive the honor of becoming a Green Lantern, Hal is viewed with scorn by the league's leader, Sinestro (Mark Strong), who trains him alongside the hulking Kilowog (voice of Michael Clarke Duncan). Later, on planet Earth, frail scientist Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) becomes infected with Parallax's evil while performing an autopsy on Abin Sur, and uses his newfound powers to stake claim on Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hal's lifelong friend and fellow test pilot. When Hal learns that Parallax plans to consume all life on Earth to gain the energy needed to conquer Oa, he begins looking inward for the courage to defeat the malevolent force and embrace his destiny as a super-powered peacekeeper. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

George Lucas draws the Star Wars film series to a close with this dark sci-fi adventure which sets the stage for the events of the first film and brings the saga full circle. After a fierce battle in which Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin (Hayden Christensen) join Republic forces to help free Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from the evil Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) and his minions, Anakin is drawn into Palpatine's confidence. Palpatine has designs on expanding his rule, and with this in mind he plants seeds of doubt in Anakin's mind about the strength and wisdom of the Jedis. Anakin is already in a quandary about how to reveal to others the news of his secret marriage to Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) now that she is pregnant, and visions which foretell her death in childbirth weigh heavy on his mind. As Anakin finds himself used by both the Jedis and the Republic for their own purposes -- particularly after Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) expresses his distrust of the young Jedi -- he turns more and more to the Force for help, but begins to succumb to the temptations of its dark side. Many of the Star Wars series regulars returned for Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, including Frank Oz as the voice of Yoda, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Kenny Baker as R2-D2, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A woman who has come to a strange land is torn between the life she knows and the new life around her in this epic-scale historical drama. In 1854, New Zealand's indigenous Maori tribes were engaged in an ongoing battle to drive away European settlers eager to establish colonies in the nation's wilderness, which the Maori saw as a threat to their way of life. However, some outsiders had made a home in New Zealand with the cooperation of the Maori, and an Irish settlement had been established, with Francis (Stephen Rea), the colony's doctor, bringing his daughter Sarah (Samantha Morton) with him to this new land. Sarah becomes acquainted with the son of one of the Maori leaders, and in time their friendship grows into something deeper. When Sarah discovers she's pregnant with the chief's son's child, the father has been called off to fight against the Europeans, and by the time her son is born, his father is dead. Sarah raises her child, whom she simply calls "Boy," but when Boy reaches the age of six, he's abducted by his father's family, who believes he should grow up among the Maori. Fearing further reprisals, Francis returns to Ireland, but Sarah stays behind to care for the sick and look for her son. Years later, while in search of Boy, Sarah encounters Wiremu (Cliff Curtis), a Maori warrior whose father Te Kai Po (Temuera Morrison) is ill. When Wiremu learns that Sarah is well versed in medicine, he makes an offer -- if she will treat Te Kai Po and return him to health, he will find Boy. Sarah is able to cure Te Kai Po's ailment, and Wiremu returns the now-teenaged Boy (David Rawiri Pene) to his mother. Boy is not eager to leave behind the Maori people who have become his family, and he and Sarah stay with Te Kai Po's tribe for a while, but in time she is drawn back to the Irish colony, where she finds herself torn between Doyle (Kiefer Sutherland), the soldier who loves her and wishes to protect her, and Wiremu, who she has grown to love. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A Vietnamese man looking for a better life embarks on a dangerous and eye-opening voyage to America in this powerful drama set during the early '90s. In 1990, Binh (Damien Nguyen) is a man in his early twenties who has never known his parents, though he is clearly of mixed-race parentage, which makes him an outcast in his community. Weary of being treated like an animal, Binh sets out to find his mother, Mai (Thi Kim Xuan Chau), only to discover she works as a servant for a wealthy family who subject her to constant abuse, and that she has a baby son. When a household accident leads to the death of the matriarch, Mai, her infant, and Binh go on the run. Mai then confesses to Binh that she's dying, gives him all the money she has, and implores him to leave Vietnam for America, with his half-brother in tow. Unable to travel to America legally, Binh attempts to smuggle his way into the States aboard a ship; he's found out, and is sent to a prison camp in Malaysia, where he meets Ling (Bai Ling), a beautiful woman who has been forced into prostitution to support herself. Befriending Ling, Binh eventually arranges for passage to America aboard a refugee ship, though the harrowing voyage claims the life of Binh's half-brother. Binh and Ling arrive in New York City as illegal aliens, and soon learn that life in America can be just as harrowing as what they left behind; eventually, Binh runs away, hoping to make his way to Texas where he's learned that his father is living. Produced by Terrence Malick, The Beautiful Country also features supporting performances from Nick Nolte and Tim Roth. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The second prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy takes place ten years after the events depicted in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace. Now 20, young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is an apprentice to respected Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Unusually powerful in the Force, Anakin is also impatient, arrogant, and headstrong -- causing his mentor a great deal of concern. The pair are ordered to protect Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), the former queen of the planet Naboo, now representing her world in the Galactic Senate. Someone is trying to assassinate her on the eve of a vote enabling Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) to build a military force that will safeguard against a growing separatist movement led by mysterious former Jedi Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). After another attempt on Padme's life, Obi-Wan and Anakin separate. The young Jedi and Padme fall in love as he escorts her first to the security of Naboo and then to his home world of Tatooine, where the fate of his mother leads him to commit an ominous atrocity. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan travels to the secretive planet Kamino and the asteroid-ringed world of Geonosis, following bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) and his son, Boba (Daniel Logan), who are involved in an operation to create a massive army of clones. A vicious battle ensues between the clones and Jedi on one side and Dooku's droids on the other, but who is really pulling the strings in this galactic conflict? In late 2002, the movie was released in IMAX theaters as Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones: The IMAX Experience, with a pared-down running time of 120 minutes in order to meet the technical requirements of the large-screen format. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Family differences and personal grudges add drama to an already tense situation as the lives of a team of mountain climbers hang in the balance in this action drama. Peter Garrett (Chris O'Donnell) and his sister Annie (Robin Tunney) are the children of Royce Garrett (Stuart Wilson), an avid outdoorsman and climbing enthusiast who died when an accident left all three hanging from a single rope; Royce ordered Peter to cut him loose to save the lives of his kids, even though he knew it would mean his death. Years later, Peter has given up climbing and become a respected nature photographer, while Annie, who holds Peter responsible for her father's death, is a famous world-class mountain climber who is hired by Elliot Vaughn (Bill Paxton), a self-made billionaire, to help him scale K2, a mountain in the Himalayas that's the second-highest peak in the world. In the midst of the climb, dangerous weather strikes, and Elliot, Annie, and their crew find themselves trapped in a cavern that's been sealed tight by an avalanche. Peter, who is near K2 working on an assignment, quickly organizes a crew of expert climbers to save Annie and the other mountaineers, who must work under a tight deadline before the trapped climbers run out of air. Peter's partners in the rescue include beautiful medic Monique (Izabella Scorupco), radical climbers Cyril (Steve Le Marquand) and Malcolm (Ben Mendelsohn), disciplined Pakistani crewman Kareem (Alexander Siddig), and Montgomery (Scott Glenn), an eccentric outdoorsman who has a score to settle with Elliot. While backgrounds were shot on location in Pakistan, most of the climbing sequences in Vertical Limit were actually filmed on mountain ranges in New Zealand. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?
The 1994 drama Once Were Warriors told a sad but compelling tale of violence and alcoholism in New Zealand's Maori community, and What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? picks up the story several years later, though the focus is less on an individual family than the spread of gang warfare among the modern-day Maori. Jake and Beth Heke (Temuera Morrison and Rena Owen), the combative couple in the first film, have now split up, Beth having lost her patience with Jake's alcoholism and violent temper. Beth has moved on and lives with her new boyfriend, and while Jake also has a new relationship, his binge drinking and violence have continued unabated. Jake's eldest son, Nig (Julian Arahanga) has fared little better in life, and dies in a fight with a member of a rival gang. At Nig's funeral, Jake is confronted by Beth and his younger son, Sonny (Clint Eruera), who feels Jake abandoned his family and doesn't mind telling him so. Sonny decides he must avenge Nig's death and joins forces with Nig's girlfriend Tania (Nancy Brunning) and his pal Mookie (Tammy Davis) to exact their own kind of justice. However, an unpleasant run-in with the Black Snakes gang only earns them more enemies. Jake, meanwhile, is dropped by his girlfriend and sinks even deeper into the abyss of his demons. What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? was directed by Ian Mune, continuing the story begun by filmmaker Lee Tamahori. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Ivan Reitman directed this romantic comedy-adventure that opens in New York where fast-paced magazine associate editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) and her boyfriend, Frank (David Schwimmer), leave for a week's vacation on a remote island. They've already been together for three years, so when Frank asks her to marry him, she says yes. For a one-day Tahiti photo shoot, Robin engages the services of South Pacific cargo pilot Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford). Robin and Quinn head off to do the shoot, but a squall forces Quinn to land his DeHavilland Beaver on the beach of a remote, unknown island. With broken landing gear, they're trapped there. Search parties set forth. Robin and Quinn cope with each other. Survival skills surface. Sexual tensions escalate. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Frank and Quinn's girlfriend, Angelica (Jacqueline Obradors), compare concerns at the hotel bar. Several days later, the search is called off. Quinn and Robin are left to their own devices, including removing pontoons from a convenient Japanese war plane and attempting a take off. Filmed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Indications were that this action sequel was in trouble before production began, when the male lead from the first film, Keanu Reeves, declined a role in the follow-up. Sandra Bullock returns as Annie Porter, an accident-prone ditz who is thrilled when her boyfriend Alex (Jason Patric) presents her with two tickets for a cruise ship vacation to the Bahamas. The trip is a peace offering presented because Annie has just learned that Alex is a police officer who's been lying to her about his choice of profession. Little does the happy couple know that the disgruntled John Geiger (Willem Dafoe), designer of the ship's computer system, has plotted a violent takeover of the vessel and a diamond hijacking that puts everyone on board in mortal danger. Being the dashing police officer he is, Alex leaps into action and tries to stop Geiger, but not before the ship crashes at top velocity into a Caribbean port town. Sandra Bullock agreed to star in this flop of a sequel in order to get financial backing for a pet project, Hope Floats (1998), a low-budget drama that turned a healthy profit. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Broken English
Along with Once Were Warriors, Broken English effectively captures contemporary New Zealand as a society in transition. Broken English dramatizes how the effect of immigration to the cities of New Zealand by both its native peoples, the Maoris, and Europeans seeking refuge from political persecution has not produced a harmonious melting pot. Ivan (Rade Serbedzija) is an embittered Croatian who fled to his wife's native Aukland when war broke out in Bosnia. Brooding over TV news reports on what is happening to his homeland (and displaying more than a little guilt over his flight from there), Ivan lashes out at anyone outside of his insulated Croatian community, including his gentle Maori neighbors. His drug-running business allows him a comfortable lifestyle, but he's still irritated that his young adult daughters won't mind him. The eldest, Nina (Aleksandra Vujcic), is a waitress who takes up with a colleague, a Maori cook named Eddie (Julian "Sonny" Arahanga, who also appeared in Once Were Warriors), in part because he's attractive but also to tweak her father. Complicating matters is an arranged marriage Nina has agreed to with a Chinese immigrant colleague at the restaurant; he's willing to pay her 16,000 dollars just to make his residency legal, so he can be with his girlfriend, Clara. Originally rated NC-17 for an energetic but hardly explicit sex scene between Nina and Eddie, the film was later edited to earn an "R" rating. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

Add The Island of Dr. Moreau to top of Queue
On a remote tropical island, Dr. Moreau has appointed himself ruler over a menagerie of genetic mutants fashioned in his gene-splicing chamber of horrors. The products of his misguided attempt to create a more "pure" human species, the man-beasts worship Moreau as their god and "father" and live by his code of law -- a code rigidly enforced by radio-operated implants in their bodies capable of inflicting pain and death. Into this surreal nightmare arrives UN negotiator Edward Douglas (David Thewlis), the sole survivor of an airplane crash. Douglas is brought ashore on Moreau's island -- against his better judgment -- by the doctor's insane, drug-addled assistant, Montgomery (Val Kilmer), and eventually becomes a prisoner. Horrified by the doctor's monstrous experiments and afraid for his own life, Douglas seeks the aid of Moreau's lovely daughter, Aissa (Fairuza Balk), in escaping the island, but is foiled at every turn by Montgomery and his armed man-beast lackeys. Eventually, the creatures discover the existence of their electronic implants and remove them, providing the opportunity for an armed rebellion -- but eventual regression into their original animal state causes their revolt to collapse into anarchy. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Set in the year 2017, Barb Wire takes place after democracy has fallen and a fascist military junta has taken over the U.S. government, plotting to wipe out the country with Red Ribbon, a laboratory-manufactured disease derived from the AIDS virus. The entire test city of Topeka has been annihilated, and only the small bastion of Steel Harbor remains the last free zone in the country, conveniently the home of the title heroine Pamela Lee. Barb, a leather-clad, silicon-stretched motorcycle mama, happens to carry antibodies for Red Ribbon in her DNA, thus making her an enemy of the state. She sets out to defend freedom and take down the evil government by posing as a stripper and seducing foolish male adversaries with her well-displayed assets. The plot thickens as she happens upon her freedom-fighter ex-lover and his wife (much in the vein of Casablanca). ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Once Were Warriors

Add Once Were Warriors to top of Queue
This powerful drama was a major hit in its native New Zealand, outgrossing Jurassic Park in Kiwi cinemas. Jake and Beth Heke (Temurea Morrison and Rena Owen) are a couple of Maori descent who are living in a slum in Aukland. While it's obvious that they still love each other, Jake's alcoholism has driven a wedge into their relationship and has left their children emotionally scarred. Jake is charming while sober, but when drunk, he's a violent psychopath given to blink-of-an-eye mood changes and terrible cruelty against his loved ones. Liquor has also made it difficult for Jake to hold onto a job, leaving him dependent on the dole to feed his family. Nig (Julian Arahanga), Jake's oldest son, has turned his back on his father and joined a gang of Maori youths whose initiation rituals include tattooing and torture. Jake's 13-year-old daughter Grace (Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell) prefers to spend her time with her drug-addicted boyfriend -- rather than stay home and fight off the advances of her father's friends. And Boogie (Taungaroa Emile) ends up in juvenile hall when Jake's drinking prevents him from going to court to speak on Boogie's behalf. Once Were Warriors was based on an acclaimed novel by Alan Duff. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The moderate success of 1987's Ngati (see entry 120359) enabled other filmmakers from New Zealand's Maori population to get their projects off the ground. Mauri deserves mention as the first film ever produced, written and directed by a Maori woman (Merate Mita). The film stars Anzac Wallace, a Maori who has run into nothing but trouble in white society. Picking up a hitchhiker, Wallace inadvertently kills the man in a car accident, then assumes the dead man's identity in order to escape a bank-robbery charge. He confesses his crimes to his dying surrogate mother, but will not explain his guilty behavior to his girlfriend (Susan D. Ramari Paul), who ultimately gives up on him. In the end, Wallace not only loses out on his chance to "assimilate" with the whites, but also loses the love and friendship of his fellow Maoris. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on a novel by Sue McCauley, this story of a socially forbidden affair between Liz (Lisa Harrow) a 32-year-old, middle-class woman and Tug (Mark Pilisi) a 16-year-old street kid develops as an intriguing study in breaking through the restrictions that put the brakes on human development. Liz is restive in her role as wife and mother in a socially elite circle of modern Auckland, and Tug -- who lives on the opposite side of the tracks -- is a smart, humorous, impoverished teen beginning to be aware that life has much more to offer than evading the police. Liz leaves her home and family and strikes out to start her own life when she meets Tug. She seems to have everything Tug admires, and he has all the independence she prizes most -- but their race, their age difference, and their economic backgrounds are three factors that work against a growing mutual attraction. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Thanks for your comments. I've seen that OpenMP is much easier to develop with than MPI, which in my experience takes a lot of time to program with due to its low-level nature and complicated side-effects. I would in fact prefer to use implicit parallelism in a high-level language (functional) to program complicated memory architectures. Which doesn't exist in the way I imagine it due to the short-sightedness of programming language people. I don't think that the programmer should be too involved with the exact details of caches, etc. It doesn't make too much sense to me. Back in the day, I learned how to write assembly code that fits in some 256 byte code cache. But how do you do that kind of optimization in a large scale NUMA architecture, what if you move the code to a slightly different architecture? The OpenMP model is superior to old ways of programming shared memory systems (like the awful pthreads), but as the architectures get more complicated I doubt that it will allow the programmers to extract sufficient performance from those systems. BTW, is OpenMP usable with the Cell processor on the Playstation 3? I wondered. Best, -- Eray Ozkural, PhD candidate. Comp. Sci.

Lunch might be over when the distant orange-pink mountains change their hue. But that doesn't mean you have to leave.
Take a seat overlooking the Rickety Bridge vineyards. Sip a glassful of crisp estate wine and enjoy a delicious lunch while drinking in the splendour of the magnificent surroundings. Every creation from our team of talented chefs is given extra zest by the striking beauty of the setting and stunning views of the Franschhoek mountains.
Rickety Bridge is an enchanting Franschhoek wine estate that earns its place in the Cape's cuisine capital. Franschhoek is home to some of the best restaurants in South Africa.
The Restaurant in the Vines has made way for Paulina's, named in honour of the original owner of the property in 1797, Paulina de Villiers.
In keeping with current culinary trends, the restaurant features a variety of half and full portions of its exciting bistro style menu, allowing diners the opportunity to sample and share dishes.
Executive chef Melissa Bruyns (previously at Haute Cabriere and Westin Grand) explains: "the half portions are larger than a conventional tapas serving, so ideal for sharing, or having as a starter. I believe in using fresh seasonal ingredients, and letting them speak for themselves, beautifully prepared and presented, but without over-elaboration. We have planted a herb and vegetable garden on Rickety Bridge to ensure that I have plenty to work with"
"Favourites include the seafood risotto (served with braised fennel and topped with Café de Paris butter and pecorino), crisp pork belly (with fried greens, wasabi mash and sweet chilli and ginger sauce), chicken and tiger prawn coconut curry (served with fragrant Jasmine rice) and salmon trout fish cakes (served on a beetroot roll and topped with a lime aioli).
Vegetarians are well catered for, and the leek and asparagus flan (drizzled with chive oil and greens) and vegetable tempura (with 3 dipping sauces) are especially popular."
Some of the dishes are served as main portions only, for example the Rib Eye Steak, line fish, gourmet burger and vegetarian linguini.
Paulina's is open for lunch seven days a week, and will open for dinner on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from mid November to February. The dinner menu is smaller and will change regularly, depending on seasonal local produce.
The restaurant spills out from a cozy thatched area onto decks with views over the vineyards and mountains. Umbrellas and a Bedouin tent provide cover and shade.
Contact Paulina's: Call 021 876 2129 or email@example.com.
Opening Times:
Monday – Sunday 11:00 – 16:00

It's bye week time. What's your top coaching priority if you're Urban Meyer?
I agree, particularly the short/timing routes. Intermediate and longer passing was okay today. D seems to be what it is this year... servicable, occasionally stout, but not able to win games by themselves in Camp Randall or against TTUN. This offense has been impressive when everyone knows they are running. With a pass threat we could easily outscore anyone outside of the top 5, and noone we will face the rest of this year is anywhere near top 5.

It was a chance to learn about the state of Texas' economy from the woman in charge of handling the state's public accounts.
The State of Texas Comptroller Susan Combs came to B/CS Wednesday morning to talk to members of the community about the future of the Texas economy.
Combs says the biggest thing that will affect Texans will be the growth in medicaid enrollment and the negative effect she says it will have on business owners.
According to Combs, the funds spent on Medicaid will take away from public education funds.
With the federal healthcare mandate, Medicaid spending in the state of Texas is expected to double from 20 percent of its total budget in 2011 to 37 percent of its total budget in 2023. The same amount that is spent on education.
"If you've got Medicaid squeezing out public education, if Medicaid squeezes out higher education, if Medicaid squeezes out everything else, that's actually a great concern for local communities," said Combs.
Combs says the growth in Medicaid will force employers to reduce employees or reduce health coverage.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
The highest wind velocities in Poland are found along the Baltic coastal region (5-6 m/s annual average wind speed at 30 m above ground level) and in northern and central areas (4.0-5.5 m/s): it is therefore these areas that are the most favoured for development. Wind turbines have been installed in various parts of the country but they are all less than 1 MW capacity. To date it has only been in the north that wind farms of between 1.2 MW and 50 MW have been installed.
Prior to 2001 Polish wind energy capacity stood at a very low level, but the start of operations at the Barzowice (5 MW) and Cisowo (18 MW) plants brought end-2003 capacity to 57 MW. Further development brought the installed capacity to 123.5 MW at end-2005 and to 175 MW at end-2006.
The Polish Wind Energy Association has reported that many wind projects are either planned, under construction or nearing completion (some with participation by Danish, Dutch, Japanese and Spanish companies). The Polish Government plans that by 2010 wind energy capacity will total 2 000 MW and wind power will contribute 2.3% of energy consumption.

Darnell Dockett: I've got no issues with Kerry (Rhodes)
December 5, 2012: Dockett apologizes for incident at end of game Sunday
Darnell Dockett is sorry.
He is sorry for what happened between him and teammate Kerry Rhodes.
"Me and Kerry had a very heated argument at a very heatful time in the game," he said following practice Wednesday. "Some things (happened) between me and him. I apologized to Kerry. Kerry forgave me; and that's it. I look at Kerry as one of my brothers. I respect him. I've got no issues with Kerry."
Dockett though did have an issue with what was being asked of him at the time, which led to the argument.
"It was a situation that we totally didn't agree on," he said.
Dockett would not go into specifics but it's clear from listening to the nine-year veteran, he did not agree with the strategy to let the Jets score on purpose in order for the Cardinals to get the ball back.
"It was something I don't believe in, something I didn't understand. It was frustrating at the time," he said. "At the end of the day I am never, never going to lay down and quit. I've been playing football for over 20 years. I've given this organization, I've given Florida State, I've given my high school everything I've got. I love the game. I play with passion. I will never quit. I love what I do."
The question now is whether Dockett faces any discipline.
"I don't know," he said. "I can't control that. Any time I get on the field I'm going to play my ass off. Whatever decision is whatever. It's out of my hands."
"That's an in-house matter," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We've handled it in-house and we're going to move forward."

Large Roman Micromosaic Up For Auction
Auction Central News drew my attention to a stunning micromosaic that is being auctioned off by Myers Auction Gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida as part of their January 30 European & Asian Antiques auction.
The massive piece is 32 by 59 inches and weighs more than 100 pounds. The piece is attributed to master mosaicist Cesare Roccheggiani, who was active at the Vatican workshops from 1856 to 1864. These micro mosaics were just part of the massive industry of selling art to tourists embarking on their Grand Tour of Europe but most were far smaller than this one. The piece depicts the ancient Roman Forum and since the 1920s this piece has been in the home of a Tampa businessman. When the home was sold in the 1980s, the new owners purchased the piece but now the estate artwork is up for sale.
This piece is unsigned but bears a striking resemblance to a signed work of very similar size and subject that sold at Christie's London in December for £337,250 ($533,192) against an estimate of £100,000 - £200,000. The Auction Central News article quotes Michael Myers, founder and co-owner of Myers Auction Gallery who says that his firm believes that although unsigned it is "almost certainly the work of Roccheggiani."
It is being offered with a $100,000-$200,000 estimate. Internet live bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com. Check out detailed images of this extraordinary piece here.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 292
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brian Good Room/ Better Location
Our room was what I come to expect from Sheraton. Everything was great, including the mini-fridge available for us to use in-room, with one exception: the room thermostat. It was very cold for most of our stay, and every 3-4 hours or so the thermostat would reset itself to 62 degrees when we had it set at 70. Very annoying. You can't beat the location, however, for proximity to outlet shopping in Maine and all the restaurants and nightlife spots in historic Portsmouth. We could walk to everything! It was great to have so many local spots right there for us to go eat and shop that weren't the chain stores or restaurants. Only a one hour drive to Boston Logan airport also made it very convenient.

The hotel location was great. Walking distance to Portsmouth center. The hotel itself was wonderful and the club level was worth it. The only negative comment we have is the room despite us turning the heat down always was a minimum of 71 degrees. It was very hot and hard to sleep with the temperature so high! We even turned the ac on and it still did not lower the temp in the room

Rated 3 out of 5 by nanmim not happy
Because I have stayed in this hotel in the past and had a different experience i would recommend staying. This visit I was placed in a small room which I excepted because I wanted a king bed. As I walked to my room I noticed the carpet in the hall was lifted and looked to be dirty. Entering my room I found the bed cover had spots on it, so I removed it. However the next morning my husband commented that the bed sheets looked dirty. It was the holiday maybe there had been problems with cleaning. I had asked for a room with a view but was told nothing was available because of my dog, at departure I was told sometimes the rooms on the fourth floor are permitted dogs but only when the second is full. I guess because I arrived after six I was given the left overs.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rose1225 Very nice, but a few suggestions
Everything at this hotel was very nice and the staff was excellent. A couple of suggestions, though. Please leave out the morning coffee in the lobby for a longer period of time. It was taken away at 9am. Being a facility that caters to business functions, coffee is needed at least til noon. Also I was very surprised that the parking fee was not included in the stay. I understand that it is an outside company that owns the space but I believe the cost should be absorbed by the hotel. This isn't NYC.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sonia41 The staff was amazing
I would recommend this hotel for it's staff, but would not recommend it for the room quality. The room that I had certainly needs to be updated. But again the staff was wonderful. John, the concerge was such a pleasure to deal with and totally accommodating. He drove the shuttle to our meetings every day and made our stay very enjoyable.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MHNH Gold Member has terrible experience
I recently stayed at this hotel on a weekend get away with my wife. At 11:45pm I called the front desk to let them know my room was vibrating from the music several floors below. The repsosne was that the music should be lower soon. In the morning when i spoke to the front desk the only response was they were sorry to hear our stay was unenjoyable. Awful customer service and so poorly handled.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Czelda Two level two bedroom townhouse
We thought we were going to need a second bedroom for my mother so we went with this room choice. We had to sign a lease agreement because of another owner affiliation with this type of accommodation, not sure that I quite understood that. The cleanliness was below average, I found hair in all different areas of the townhouse, even a black one inside the shelf of the refrigerator! The décor, cabinets, wallpaper, and some of the furniture really is in dire need of updating. The location is perfect, the layout was a little odd (very narrow staircases) and I saw a tray that was left out on the sidewalk from room service all day and long into the night (kind of gross). The price was very good. I will say that others stayed in the hotel and said it was great. We had a function and was only dissatisfied with 1 employee. Every piece of food and table service was perfect. The Function Coordinator can not be found elsewhere I am convinced, he was perfect!

Benoît Jacquot Movies
Despite being a somewhat elliptical figure who has remained a relative unknown outside of his native France, film director
Benoît Jacquot
has still managed to garner a devoted following.
's visually stylized films often explore the innermost impulses of his fellow man (and woman), and his gift for storytelling came close to earning the filmmaker a global audience with the release of his intimate 1996 drama
A Single Girl
A Paris native,
first found work in the film industry at 18 as an assistant director to such noted filmmakers as
Marguerite Duras
Jacques Rivette
. His work with the seasoned veterans provided the up-and-coming director with invaluable experience. An extended collaboration with the Institut National d'Audiovisual that began in 1970 found
helming documentaries on
J.D. Salinger
and mentor
, among other notable figures in film and literature, and in 1975, he made his feature debut with
L'Assassin Musicien
frequently alternated between film and television work in the following years, and the release of such features as the absorbing 1990 adolescent drama
The Disenchanted
's skills as a dramatist developing strongly. On the small screen, the director made a name for himself by adapting novels by such literary giants as
Henry James
Franz Kafka
. By the time 1996 rolled around, few could doubt
's skills as a filmmaker, but his voice had yet to make an impact outside of France. All of that would change with the release of his seventh film,
A Single Girl
(1996). A voyeuristic, real-time drama concerning a recently pregnant girl faced with a dead-end job and an aloof boyfriend, the film proved a powerhouse showcase for young star
Virginie Ledoyen
and offered
his breakthrough feature.
With the subsequent releases of
The School of Flesh
(1998) and
Keep It Quiet
(1999, both starring French screen legend
Isabelle Huppert
) in the following years,
drew praise from audiences at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. He once again teamed with
in 2000 for the drama
La Fausse Suivante
. That same year, his take on the life of the Marquis de Sade,
, was unfairly overshadowed by the art-house hit
(which featured a scene-stealing performance by Australian actor
Geoffrey Rush
as the Marquis).
masterfully adapted the opera Tosca for the screen in 2001, and directed seldom-seen screen beauty
Isabelle Adjani
in 2002's
. The following year, he took on the story of the friendship between Sigmund Freud and a female French psycho-analyst, played by
Catherine Deneuve
, in the television production Marie Bonaparte. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Director Benoît Jacquot adapted Chantal Thomas' bestselling novel examining the genesis of the French Revolution as witnessed from the perspective of the servants closest to Marie Antoinette. July 1789: Versailles. As the people of France rise up against King Louie XVI (Xavier Beauvois), the frightened sovereigns begin plotting their escape. Sidonie Laborde (Léa Seydoux) is the Queen's reader, and as such enjoys the many lavish privileges of being in the monarch's entourage. She sees herself as an extended member of the royal family, so when Marie Antoinette (Diane Kruger) requests that Sidonie don the Queen's clothing and flee in her carriage, the naïve servant views it as a tremendous honor. Meanwhile, the Queen herself plots to escape the palace under the cover of darkness, leaving her most loyal servant at the mercy of the raging mob. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Au fond des bois
Benoit Jacquot directed this offbeat tale of an unscrupulous man's hold over a lovely young women, set in France in the 1860s. Josephine (Isild Le Besco) is the beautiful but reckless daughter of the wealthy and well respected Doctor Hughes (Bernard Rouquette). One day, a ragged hermit named Timothee (Nahuel Perez Biscayart) arrives in their village, and Timothee is immediately taken with Josephine, while she seems similarly fascinated with him. Doctor Hughes is intrigued with the strange but charismatic drifter, and invited him into his home, where he managed to impress everyone, even Josephine's beau Paul (Mathieu Simonet), with his talent for magic and hypnosis. Doctor Hughes and Paul change their opinion of Timothee when he subjects Josephine to a brutal rape, but when he leaves the village, Josephine opts to leave with him, and the Doctor wonders if she's going of her own free will or if he's mesmerized her into doing his bidding. Au Fond Des Bois (aka Deep In The Woods) was an official selection at the 2010 BFI London Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Villa Amalia
Legendary French screen actress Isabelle Huppert headlines this sumptuous, passionate tale, adapted from a novel by belletrist Pascal Quignard (All the Mornings of the World). Huppert stars as Ann, a gifted and brilliant, middle-aged musician whose sense of security falls to pieces when she stumbles onto her husband, Thomas (Xavier Beauvois), kissing another woman. Without hesitation, she abandons him and takes a headlong rush into the arms of a new life. Guided by her musical intuition and the emotional support of a male friend, Georges (Jean-Hugues Anglade), Ann suddenly realizes how necessary it is for her to latch onto a new identity. She thus embarks on a transnational journey that ultimately takes her to the island of Ischia, Italy, and a palatial house called the Villa Amalia that will change her life. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

À Tout de Suite
Four nameless people are brought together by crime and circumstances in this visually striking drama. A naïve young woman (Isild Le Besco) who studies art and lives with her wealthy family goes to a nightclub one evening and meets a mysterious young man of Moroccan heritage (Ouassini Embarek). The two are immediately attracted to one another, and spend the night together. Not long afterward, the woman gets a phone call from her new lover, who has disturbing news -- he's in the midst of a bank robbery that's gone wrong, and several of his accomplices have been shot by the police. The woman offers to hide the man from the authorities, and he soon arrives with the only member of his crew to made it out alive (Nicolas Duvauchelle).

However, the thieves and their women don't take well to exile; personality clashes arise, and they discover that the stolen money is more readily identifiable than they imagined.

La Fausse Suivante
This droll comedy from France was based on a popular stage play by the 18th century author Marivaux. As a lark, an attractive young heiress (Sandrine Kiberlain) disguises herself as a man as she travels with a servant for a weekend getaway to the estate of her close friend the Countess (Isabelle Huppert). En route, the heiress, introducing herself as "The Chevalier," encounters Lelio (Mathieu Amalric), the Countess' fiancée. Talking "man to man," Lelio confides that he isn't really in love with the Countess, but he is eager to get his hands on her dowry. He'd prefer to marry another woman he's met, who has an even greater fortune -- the heiress. However, he has already agreed to pay the Countess a considerable fortune if he breaks off the engagement; he's hoping that someone else will take her off his hands so that he can woo the heiress and come out ahead. The heiress, now aware just how much of a louse Lelio is, agrees as the Chevalier to romance the Countess, knowing that if "he" can win her away from Lelio, he'll be out of an income on both sides. Director Benoit Jacquot filmed La Fausse Suivante in a theater, using vintage costumes and minimal props to help retain the flavor of the stage production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Daniel Auteuil stars as the infamous Marquis de Sade, who at the beginning of Sade, is serving a sentence in Paris' grim Saint Lazarde prison. The year is 1794, and Sade is being persecuted for his steadfast atheism, which runs counter to the beliefs of Robespierre, France's terrifying revolutionary leader. The Marquis is granted something of a reprieve when he is transferred -- courtesy of his mistress Sensible (Marianne Denicourt) -- to Picpus, a former convent that now serves as the equivalent of a luxury prison. Although Picpus is not without its own guillotine and mass grave, Sade is more concerned with the blossoming Emilie (Isild Le Besco). Meanwhile, Sensible, who has a son who calls Sade "Papa," is forced to share the bed of her own protector, Fournier (Gregoire Colin), a moody lout who hates Sade and works for none other than Robespierre. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Pas de scandale
An older man and a younger woman find love, with his time in jail the unlikely catalyst, in this witty drama from France. Gregoire (Fabrice Luchini) is a formerly prominent French industrialist whose financial misdealings resulted in a term behind bars, which was especially embarrassing for his brother Louis (Vincent Lindon), a talk show host specializing in hard-hitting investigative interviews. When Gregoire is released from prison, he returns home to the apartment he shared with his wife Agnes (Isabelle Huppert) and their children. But everyone keeps telling Gregoire that he doesn't seem the same; he seems confused, he has a hard time making himself understood, and he freezes up during a television interview conducted after his release. A puzzled Gregoire stops by the beauty parlor where his wife gets her hair done and, to his surprise, he discovers someone he can talk to: Stephanie (Vahina Giocante), one of the hair stylists. Stephanie's boyfriend was in the same jail as Gregoire, and was released the same day, so they have some common conversational ground; Stephanie finds that she likes talking with Gregoire, and in time she finds herself falling for him. Pas de Scandale was shown in competition at the 1999 Venice Film Festival and also at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Parisienne mother Mathilde (Sandrine Kiberlain), who shares a large apartment with her surgeon husband Nico (Vincent Lindon), sometimes works at the legal business run by her mother (Francine Berge). With a stagnant sex life, the bored Mathilde prowls department stores to steal toys for her son. At a party with Nico, she realizes she's being watched by a doctor (Francois Berleand), and she spots him on the metro the following day. He tells her he's a psychiatrist, and they have their first session in a deserted restaurant. While the doctor's cure does appear to work for Mathilde, there's a trade-off: Nico's behavior becomes increasingly abnormal. This film has no connection to the earlier (1927, 1937) Hollywood films with the same title. Shown at the Venice and Toronto film festivals. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

As Valerie, 19-year-old Virginie Ledoyen is not just the titular Single Girl, but for all practical purposes, the entire movie. As the film opens, she meets her sullen, unemployed boyfriend Remi (Benoît Magimel) at a cafe, and reveals that she is pregnant with his child. She is not only unsure about whether she should keep the child, but whether Remi would make a decent father if she did. She is also starting a new job as room service in an expensive hotel and promises to return to the cafe in an hour and tell Remi her decision. The bulk of the film consists of a real-time study of that critical hour. Valerie takes trays from room to room, and the camera follows every stair step, every elevator trip. There are interactions with peculiar guests, but none of them are particularly important characters. The focus is always on Valerie. ~ John Voorhees, Rovi

Remember me
quote http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107252 Released from Cooling Product Manager:"Corsair has now tracked down and fixed a rare and hard to reproduce issue on some of our Hydro series coolers, specifically the H60, H80, and H100 when used in combination with certain power supplies in certain circumstances. The failure will present itself as a buzz or hum, similar to a hard drive seek noise, and may disappear and reappear at random times. This issue affects a very small number of units, and typically is more prevalent on power supplies that provide higher than +12.2V on the +12V rail, which explains why some users have experienced multiple units with the same issue – they're plugging them into the same power supply.Regardless, this has since been corrected and we are now shipping units that do not experience the issue. If you've got a noisy H100, H80, or H60 unit, and the noise is coming from the pump (not the fans), we'd like to offer you a RMA. Please Contact us by using the link on the left and request an RMA to start a replacement with a known good unit.Thank you, and we appreciate your patience as we corrected this issue."
