John G. Avildsen, director of Rocky and The Karate Kid, adapts Bryce Courtenay's compassionate novel about the coming of age of a white anti-apartheid activist during the years of World War II in South Africa. Avildsen cumbersomely grafts Courtenay's tale of fighting apartheid onto a Hollywood-style fight-for-the-championship bout. Seven-year-old P.K. (Guy Witcher) is a white South African raised on his family's farm by his Zulu nanny. When his mother takes ill, he is sent away to an Afrikaner boarding school, where he is picked on and nearly killed by the school bully during a pep rally for Hitler. P.K. survives and is sent to live with his grandfather. He befriends Doc (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a jailed German musician, and a black inmate (Morgan Freeman), who teaches P.K. how to use his fists for some quick boxing moves. At 12, P.K. (now played by Simon Fenton), witnesses black inmates being cruelly humiliated by their racist white jailers. Taking note of P.K.'s fluidity for languages, his black mentor spreads the word that P.K. is the incarnation of the mythic Rain Maker, a messianic liberator who is destined to unite all the African tribes. By the time he's 18 years old, P.K. (now played by Stephen Dorff) is becoming the Great White Hope for the black Africans, boxing his way into their hearts and minds. He joins up with an old boxing foe (Alois Moyo), who is now a township activist, and takes up the apartheid struggle. But things get confusing when P.K. falls in love with the daughter (Fay Masterson) of an apartheid leader. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Economics and music are the twin focal points of this comedy/drama about a community in crisis. The small British town of Grimley has long been dominated by the coal mine where most of the men work, and the town's greatest source of pride is the Grimley Colliery Band, a brass ensemble that's won a number of nationwide competitions. Danny (Pete Postlewaite) is a retired miner in poor health who directs the band; a national championship is coming up, and Danny is determined that Grimley will walk away with a trophy. But many of his musicians have other things on their minds: word has it that the mine may soon close down, and, in a city already suffering an economic downturn, this is just short of a death sentence. Adding to the intrigue is the return of Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald), who used to live in Grimley and is back in town for a while on an assignment. While the band has traditionally been all-male, Danny considers bending the rules to allow Gloria in the band, as she's a fine fluglehorn player, but her presence is bad news for the town: she works for the government and is investigating the feasibility of closing down the mine. Ace trumpeter Andy (Ewan McGregor) also has mixed feelings about Gloria; they were once a couple, and he still has feelings for her, but he's not sure he wants to set himself up for another breakup. The real-life Grimethorpe Colliery Band performs on the soundtrack. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Snatch to top of Queue
Guy Ritchie's sophomore follow-up to his 1998 sleeper hit Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch revisits the previous film's territory of London's crime-ridden underbelly, and does so with the same brand of humor and stylish direction that made Ritchie's first effort a surprise success. With a labyrinthine plot that is ostensibly oriented around a missing diamond, Snatch introduces viewers to three groups of characters intent on retrieving the elusive stone, which has been stolen from an Antwerp jeweler. In the first group are friends and business partners Turkish (Jason Statham, who also supplies the film's voice-over narration) and Tommy (Stephen Graham), who join up with Mickey (Brad Pitt), an Irish gypsy and boxer. Turkish and Tommy make arrangements with Mickey to take a fall in a match engineered by lunatic gang leader Brick Top (Alan Ford). In another corner resides equally loony Russian gangster Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia), who has asked Jewish gangster Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) to place a bet on the match for him. Boris is also scheming to have Sol (Lennie James), the owner of a pawn shop, rob the place with a couple of dim associates. Meanwhile, Avi (Dennis Farina), freshly arrived in London from New York, hires Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) to find Franky when he goes missing; it seems that it was none other than Franky who was supposed to be transporting the purloined diamond to New York. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Add Greenfingers to top of Queue
A fish-out-of-water comedy in the vein of 1997's oft-imitated The Full Monty, Greenfingers takes as its inspiration the true story of a group of British criminals who bettered themselves through the delicate art of gardening. Croupier's Clive Owen plays Colin Briggs, a taciturn inmate doing time for murder. When it's suggested he transfer to a minimum-security prison, Colin is reluctant; at the idyllic Edgefield compound, he's slow to warm to his gregarious, botanically inclined roomie Fergus (Waking Ned Devine's David Kelly). When the warden forces Colin and his prison mates to cultivate the prison's grounds, however, the men decide it's a fate better than mopping the lavatory, and begin to take pride in their work. Their stellar efforts attract the attention of haughty celebrity gardener Georgina Woodhouse (Helen Mirren), who arranges furlough work for the men. Colin becomes particularly fervent with his bulbs and seeds, not to mention his affection for Georgina's daughter Primrose (Natasha Little). When he's offered the chance to go straight, Colin is torn between the freedom of the outside world and the comforts of his lockup flowerbed. Greenfingers made its North American premiere at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival before making the U.S. festival rounds. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

A charmingly naïve boy from the English village of Wall travels to a magical, mythical world in search of the falling star that will help him win the heart of his true love in this fantasy adventure starring Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ricky Gervais, and Sienna Miller. For hundreds of years the massive cobblestone barrier that surrounds the sleepy English hamlet of Wall has kept the citizens of the village safe and secure from the malevolent supernatural forces that stir just outside its perimeter. When dashing Tristan Thorne (Cox) promises the fairest girl in the village, Victoria (Miller), that he will prove his love by bestowing her with a genuine falling star, his daring mission sends him on an adventure far outside the comfortable confines of Wall. In order to find the fallen star, Tristan will have to ascend the wall and venture deep into the forbidden heart of the fantastical realm known as Stormhold. Upon discovering that the meteorite he sought was in fact a beautiful girl named Yvaine (Danes), who has stumbled though space and is now being pursued by the King of Stormhold's (Peter O'Toole) sons (who long to use her cosmic powers to lay claim to the throne), Tristan vows to protect the otherworldly visitor at all costs. But the king's sons aren't the only ones in search of the luminous Yvaine; fearsome witch Lamia (Pfeiffer) has become convinced that the young girl's power can help her to achieve eternal youth and beauty. As Tristan makes his way through Stormhold on a mission to bring the star back to Wall, he will encounter a series of spectacular characters and creatures that will lead him to a fate he never imagined. Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn serves as director and co-screenwriter for this tale of witches and pirates adapted from the novel by fantasy icon Neil Gaiman, who also produces. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Seventh Sonata is a work of thrilling sonorities: the fanfares and hieratic gestures of the opening are complemented by repeated chords which flicker like lightning, and solemnly chiming bells lead into the second theme associated with it, a powerful motive of invocation. Bells have been potent symbols for Russian composers from Mussorgskys Boris Godunov, through Rimsky-Korsakovs Sadko to Rachmaninovs choral setting of Poe. The contrasting second subject symbolizes an unworldly peace; it is associated with arpeggio figures which drift languidly like clouds of incense. The development is concerned mainly with alternations of the two principal themes but also introduces a new, sparkling motive like a glimpse of distant light. At the lead-back to the recapitulation, where the first theme appears in the Thalberg scoring with astonishing effect, bell-chimes and lightning flashes combine in a veritable storm of sonority. After the recapitulation, a second development, increasingly dominated by the new theme from the main development section, becomes a vertiginous dance, the ultimate dance before the moment of dematerialisation according to the composer. The bells peal wildly, culminating in a huge chord extending over five octaves to the top note of the keyboard. The effect of this climactic multiple crossing of hands is like a rippling flash of blinding light. That Scriabins dances had their own symbolism is shown by his interpretation of the final dissolving trills as images of enervation, non-existence after the act of love.

WEBSTER COUNTY, Ky. (5/8/13) - I want to take a moment to say that the Webster County School Board took a stand Monday night that all of you should be proud of. In the past I've stepped on a few toes of board members, as I am sure those who came before me in this job have. But just taking them at their word, I can tell you that the men of the current school board have decided to put their foot down and do what is right for Webster County's children.
I graduated from Providence in 1998. Somewhere in the years between now and then, in my opinion, the entire educational system went off the rails. You can't blame the local educators or the school board, the problem is state and perhaps even nationwide.
When most of us were in school, you went to class, listened to your teacher talk and then did work. You had tests. If you studied and did well, you moved on to the next grade again and again until you graduated.
At the meeting Monday night, one of our district's principal stated, "Right now report cards are based on effort, not the master of the standards."
Seriously? That right there sums up the entire problem with the educational system.
My nephew is fifteen now, but when he was about five years old I went to watch him play t-ball at the park here in Providence. The coach of the opposing team wasn't running the score up, but he wasn't letting up either. The parents were mad. They didn't want their kids to feel bad because they lost (in a game where they didn't officially keep score anyway).
That mentality moved on to take over all of the kids sports at first. Then it got into education. Now that the kids who were raised on this are entering the work force, employers will tell you that they are not equipped for the work place.
Let's compare a third grader from today to one from thirty years ago. Today's child is taught with the latest fancy teaching techniques. Yesterday's child is taught the old fashioned way, with a book and a blackboard.
Today's child didn't do his homework, did poorly on a test, but he sure did try in class so he passes. Yesterday's child did the same, except his teacher held him back.
The first child learned the lesson that it really didn't matter if he tried, so he went to fourth grade and didn't try there either. He moved on and on until he got to high school. If it wasn't for Facebook and the internet he probably wouldn't be able to read.
The second child came back to the third grade for the second time, determined that he wasn't going to fail again. He tried hard. He made good grades, and when he passed to the fourth grade he was prepared. The initial blow of failing hurt, but he turned it into motivation.
It feels bad to fail, but reality is that if you protect your kids from failure for the first 18 years of their life, they have much higher odds of failing in the real world. I mean, if you go to your job and don't try, how long are you going to keep your job? Not very long.
Somewhere the Feds or KDE or someone has forgotten that, not only are the schools supposed to educate children, they are also supposed to prepare them for life. Learning that trying is not that important isn't motivation, it's neglect. The system has failed a generation of children because it didn't want to hurt their feelings.
The idea is for the school, or the parents, to do what is best for the child. Sometimes what is best for them isn't to worry about hurting their feelings. You can go to Wal-Mart and tell which children have parents that don't want to hurt their feelings. (No this is not an exact science, and yes sometimes my child does act up!) I find myself struggling with this when my daughter acts bad, but the truth is, she has to learn right from wrong. She has to learn that every decision has a consequence, and in the real world sometimes those are bad.
Now one school board has had the nerve to say "no more!" Bless you guys.

text: Season three of the British "dramedy" Cold Feet was originally telecast between November 12 and December 31, 2000. In this season's eight episodes, married couple David (Robert Bathurst) and Karen (Hermione Norris) discover that becoming parents again (this time it's twins) has not done much to improve their relationship; young marrieds Pete (John Thomson) and Jenny (Fay Ripley) wonder if their love is strong enough to survive Peter's adultery; and the romance of live-in couple Adam (James Nesbitt) and Rachel (Helen Baxendale) is rapidly deteriorating as well. A major bone of contention during the third season is the presence of Karen's alcoholic mother (Mel Martin), who has insisted upon moving in to help with the babies. This is the final season in which co-star Fay Ripley appears on a regular basis. ~ Rovi

A chick flick with attitude and pink, very pink...
By a customer from East Anglia, England , 24 May 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
There is just enough of a plot in this to keep everybody interested, though the basic premise (that an interest in girly things can be advantageous in a man's world) is rather laboured. And the way that our hero wins her first big court case is laughable. But maybe that's the point. Rent this DVD and you're not getting Scorcese or even Jane Campion, but just some amusing eye-candy to go with the pizza. And there's nothing wrong with that. Oh, and Reece Witherspoon is realy rather good, and has excelent comic timing.- Was this review helpful to you?

All a bit too cute
By Gray2 (221 reviews) from London, England , 25 Jun 2011Blonde girl gets ditched by boyfriend for being too 'blonde', and hence just not smart enough to be his future wife. So she teaches him a lesson by going to Harvard Law (get the pun in the title - 'Legally'?) School, excelling and doing even better than him. The trouble is it's all too unbelievable: she gets in by passing just one exam (is it really that easy?) and she wins her law cases because there's always some 'fashion' element in them which is the one subject she knows something about. By the fairly predictable end of the film you're still thinking she's just been lucky rather than actually proving a point. Still at least I did get through it. Getting through the early scenes that were dominated by a gaggle of silly giggly young girly-girls was a bit of an endurance test! Watch this just once, and see if you agree with me.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Though nobody would discount an eight-game winning streak, there's a not-so-little secret about the one Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are currently enjoying.
Quite simply, they haven't played anyone who's all that good since the streak started.
No team the Broncos have beaten over their winning streak would be in the playoffs if they started today. Only one -- Cincinnati at 7-6 -- currently has a winning record.
All of which adds yet another layer of intrigue to Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Not only will the game against the Ravens (9-4) go a long way toward determining where the Broncos (10-3) land in the hunt for a first-round bye in the playoffs, it will give them a litmus test on what kind of team they are heading into January.

So I am about to finish my bottle of Compound 20 I received with the Test Powder IC release. I was honestly expecting this to be some garbage supplement. I wanted to lose a few pounds so I said what the hell and tried it out. First of all, I did not notice a whole lot in terms of fat loss beyond what I usually get with a slight caloric reduction. Maybe a bit more lean than I usually would get but hard to tell.
On the other hand, my lifts have shot up. I have put 20-30 pounds for the same amount of reps on bent rows, squats, and deads. My aux lifts have climbed up as well. I purposely didn't read up on what this compound was supposed to do (other than I heard it was for fat loss) so that I could better assess the results I was achieving. Also, I have been getting much more pumped in the gym.
Curious to see if anyone else noticed this or if it was just a coincidence. Its not often I get gains in numbers like that in such a short amount of time. Especially after 11 years of training.
I think it would be much better used towards maintaining strength during a cut as opposed to using it for fat loss.

- If the mobo beeps when you fire it up, then the mobo is alive. Somethign else is awry. You are suppose dto be able to tell what from how many subsequent beeps you hear, but I found no such info in my mobo manual
- If you use old 66MHz RAM the chance of getting it to work at 100MHz is minimal. I have 10ns "PC-100" cheap RAM that I suspect cause the errors I get in 4x100, so I run it in 5.5x66 instead.
There are some jumpers that supposedly will allow you to use Non-PC-100 RAM in 100MHz mode, but I don't see it helping. With them set to "PC-100" in 100MHz mode my rig crashes like hell, with them set to "Non-PC-100" in 100MHz mode my rig still crashes, but not as much. Wit some borrowed high-quality 8ns RAM it works just fine. An indication to the importance of good RAM.
- You can run at 6x66=400MHz by setting the multiplier to 2x. Since few people would run their new K6-2 in 133-200MHz, AMD rewired the CPU to read that setting as 6x instead.
- Many times people put jumpers wrong since they look at the picture in the manual, where the jumpers might be drawn in a 1-2-3 order while on the mobo they are set in 3-2-1 order instead. Don't look at the pictures and think "Oh, first to the left, second to the right, and third to the left again" because you might get it mirrored. I have done this many times and learned to distrust manuals and look very carefully at the numbers instead. Use a flashlight instead of guessing if you have trouble seeing the numbers on the mobo.
- You might get problem with the harddrive if it is a ATA-66 one (I did). Download the latest BIOS upgrade and flash!

Greetings, my lovelies!
It's been a while since last I've RPed, but I am finally back and better than ever. To start off, I'll go into a little about myself - I'm a college kid. I have a full time job. I devote as much time as I can spare to my stories, but I'd rather not have a partner who is constantly breathing down my neck for a reply everyday. I'll let you know upfront that it's probably not going to happen. I do apologize, but I will reply every couple of days or so.
I've role played for... Goodness, for twelve years. I started with a close group of friends doing Lord of the Rings. That time is very near and dear to my heart. We had some amazing stories. I love books. I love the escape they offer, the want to be in their world. I enjoy getting caught up in their stories, their lessons. They can teach you so many wonderful things. But anywho!
I do have some set terms and conditions, however. Please see below:
1.) The title is Advanced. I expect detailed descriptions, character development, and at least several paragraphs. I'm not a huge fickler about grammar, but it's important too. I'll return the favor.
2.) I don't have too many limitations when it comes to graphic content, though it's always nice to check with your partner just to make sure. No hard feelings meant, but if I have an issue with something, I'll let you know. I would expect the same in return.
3.) I understand the plot, at times, can start to get a little stale. I'm all for sorting through ideas and coming up with new directions for which way the story can go, but please be willing to help out. Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.
4.) I'm seeking a long-term partner. Please, if you don't wish to continue, don't bail on me. Just let me know. You won't hurt my feelings. I know everyone doesn't enjoy the same cup of tea.
5.) I don't normally do character sheets. If you'd like to do them, it will have minimal info on it because I like learning the characters through the story.
6.) Be open for playing multiple characters. I'm more than willing to double if you are.
And I think that's about it. And now, lovelies, onto the good stuff.
Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
Interview with the Vampire
Queen of the Damned
King Arthur
Vampire Diaries
The Originals
Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead
Devil May Cry
*Indicates a crave factor*
There are also many pairings and original story ideas I'm willing to create as well, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask and come to me with any ideas you might have as well. If something here strikes your fancy, do let me know ;D

Two are charged

BURLINGTON Two Vermont men have been charged in separate cases with illegally collecting thousands of dollars in Social Security benefits by covering up deaths.
Michael Rivard, 69, plans to plead guilty to fraud. Hes accused of taking about $112,500 from 2005 to 2012.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Driver pleaded guilty March 27 to stealing more than $151,000 from 1999 to 2012.
Driver had power of attorney for the bank account of Margaret Flint, who died in 1998. Benefits continued to be wired into her account.
Driver lives with Flints grandson, Dalton Flint II. Records showed regular withdrawals from her account in the form of checks made out to and endorsed by Driver for about the same amount as the deposits.

Bwahaha......Your defense of democrats failed Nelly. 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerPure; liberals are 'followers' not leaders. Therefore they will 'follow' their socialist dictator anywhere he takes them. The communists call these folks, appropriately, "useful idiots." Fits! 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » PuremagixYes, I know all about the Patriot Act and who put it into place, but Obama has far overstepped his limitations towards snooping on law-abiding citizens. Now, are you aware that Obama opened a central agency at the University of Arizona, where all Internet traffic goes through so his snoops can intercept emails, IM's and other forms of communications over the net? Have you ever heard of a program called "Carnivor?" Carnivore, later renamed DCS1000, was a system implemented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that was designed to monitor email and electronic communications. It used a customizable packet sniffer that can monitor all of a target user's Internet traffic. 1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » PuremagixCarnivore was implemented in October 1997. By 2005 it had been replaced with improved commercial software such as NarusInsight. (Note the introduction date and who was president then.) The software has improved in capabilities over the years and is now a monster than can monitor digital cell phone traffic and wade through even the most complicated encryption. This was going on long before Bush took office, and it's getting worse by the minute under Obama. Remember what happened to the Jewish people during WWII. In the very near future it will call come full circle right here in the USA. I suggest you search out "Concentration Camps In America." There's no one in them yet, but they are guarded. Why?

The title of the act is a ten-letter acronym (USA PATRIOT) that stands for Uniting (and) Strengthening America (by) Providing Appropriate Tools Required (to) Intercept (and) Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001. It is commonly referred to as the Patriot Act. 3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » PuremagixPeople have been living with these sorts of intrusions for a long time. Take OnStar for example. GM, or what is now known as Government Motors, has had the capability to monitor your travels, and private conversations for years. I wonder how many OnStar workers got their jollies listening in on teenagers and their dates when the conversation got hot, or the bump and grinding going on in dad's car? Got a cell phone? If so, you can be tracked no matter when you go, and you can suffer intrusions in your home when Big Brother decides to turn on the mic, while listening to what's said in your home. The only way to prevent this is to take the better out of your phone when not in use? The government even has a lazer that can be focused on a wall or window and your conversations travel up the lazer beam to a satellite and to the NSA's monitoring station.

Michigan's big cities boast of financial recovery, UM survey showsGovernment officials in municipalities across Michigan are still struggling with budget issues but are much more upbeat than they were at their low point in 2010, according to a survey by the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Overall, 29 percent of jurisdictions say they are better off this year, while 29 percent say the opposite, according to the poll, which is a significant improvement from the low point in 2010, when just 9 percent were better off and 61 percent were worse off. "We do see gradual improvement, but it is a slow process and it is going to take time for improvements across the state," said Tom Ivacko, the center's program manager, in a news release. The findings show that bigger cities are recovering faster than smaller areas. In cities with more than 30,000 residents, the percentage saying they are better able to meet their needs rose to 44 percent, compared with 36 percent in 2012. "It looks like these large jurisdictions are bellwethers for the local government fiscal health," Ivacko said. "They led the way into the crisis in 2009, but since 2011 they have been leading the way out." Forty-eight percent of all jurisdictions say their property tax revenues continue to decline, and 30 percent expect their fiscal health to be worse a year from now. "The lack of optimism is tied to their views on the economy and state revenue sharing," Ivacko said. "Local leaders have told us that the system of funding local government is basically broken and won't provide the revenue needed to maintain the services provided today." The study was conducted from April 8 through June 1 through surveys sent by hard copy and the Internet to top elected and appointed officials in all counties, cities, villages and townships in Michigan. A total of 1,350 jurisdictions returned valid surveys, resulting in a 73 percent response rate. The survey had a margin of error of 1.4 percentage points either way. Find the complete survey here.

I guess the big story right now is the State of the City address. I will not be able to attend, but I'm sure the Herald will give a full accounting. I'll wait until I see what the mayor has to say before I try to write anything meaningful about it.
But here's some unmeaningful stuff.
I suppose Mayor Flanagan will talk about the schools. I don't pay too much attention to that stuff, because I believe that in the end, the state runs the schools and we're just playing a bit of a chess game with them. And we're definitely playing the black pieces.
Secretly, I wish he'd tell the state off, and tell us all that the egghead staties that run our schools are scamming us. That Fall River needs its own IEP (and if you don't know what that is, you don't know much about education today – 'cause Individual Education Plans are the huge money-funnel of contemporary public school education).
I also wish he'd do something that no politician is his right mind would do – give us a plan to reduce drug use in the city (read: drug users who live in the city), and the attendant crime rate attributable to drug use and users - and also give us the price tag. It's that last part – the price tag. That's the part no one wants to hear.
We want the crime reduced, but we don't want to pay for that. So the mayor will probably talk about the new graduates from the police academy, the walking beats that there still might be money left for, and leave the costs involved out. And I do not blame him for this.
And he'll talk about jobs. Walmart, Sam's Club, Rhode Island Novelty – I dunno. What he won't do, what I secretly wish he'd do (and don't tell anyone) is to ask Fall Riverites to get some job training, to learn English and to help their kids with their homework. I wish he'd tell us that the unemployment rate that counts doesn't measure how many people are trying to find work, but how many people are trying to become qualified for work.
You see, I got this bone to pick, and I just keep picking it. Fall River taxpayers don't want taxes raised – because there are too many poor people here who can't afford higher taxes. Fall River taxpayers would rather move out to the suburbs, only to pay twice the taxes, than pay them here. And so they do – which leaves a higher percentage of poor people in the city, which is yet another reason people who aren't poor want to move out.
Except that some of this is garbage – it's just talk. Mayor Flanagan says he wants to inspire people – if he can inspire people to realize that the state of the city should be one of community, then he'll have done more than any mayor since maybe Carlton. That was a long time ago.
I hope he can do it – I hope he tries. I hope he can come up with an IEP for the entire city. I hope he can convince people to learn English, to get off drugs, to stop the robberies and the B&E's. I hope he can inspire pride in a city that has largely forgotten what pride in community is.
But that's a lot to ask of any one person.
I think Mayor Flanagan has led us ploddingly towards a better city than the one he took the helm of three years ago. Despite that his mistakes have been monumental. But speeches like this are always campaign pieces. Still, I secretly hope that Mayor Flanagan comes out swinging. I hope his speech inspires – just as he hopes it does. I hope it inspires by challenging the city and its residents. By picking a fight with us.
But he won't. Because he wants to still be the mayor next year. That's the way it works. The real state of the city is apathy (with some notable exceptions) and that's a tough crowd to make a speech to.
I wish him luck. If he seeks to inspire this town, he'll need it.

DONETSK: Furious Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin offered to "step outside" with a journalist in an extraordinary post-match bust-up following his team's defeat to England on Tuesday.
The football legend lost his cool with a Ukrainian journalist after a refereeing blunder cost his team a goal as England eliminated the co-hosts with a 1-0 win at the Donbass Arena.
When questioned by the journalist about the physical condition of the Ukrainian team the burly former Ballon d'Or winning international striker snapped: "Respect my job. Lets' go this one-on-one. You want to go with me? Let's have a 'man conversation'."
When the journalist involved in the exchange stood up a UEFA moderator stepped in to defuse the spat but Blokhin was undeterred. "You should respect that I played football? Did you play football? Respect my job and me. I won't allow anyone to criticise my team. If you're a man, go with me. One on one."
Blokhin, meanwhile, was scathing of the second half goal-mouth controversy which denied his team an equaliser, questioning how the referees assistant stationed behind the goal could have failed to spot Marko Devic's effort cross the line.
"There are five referees on the pitch and the ball is 50 centimetres behind the goal-line. Why do we need five officials?" Blokhin said.
He also claimed England defender John Terry and substitute Andy Carroll had both been guilty of fouls that should have been received yellow cards.
"They don't spot Carroll's elbow, either? Or that Terry fouls one of my players in the back? (Referees chief Pierluigi) Collina told us that every movement with an elbow is a card, and every foul from behind is a yellow card.
"And yet where was that today? You write what you want -- you've seen it. I don't want to criticise the referee." AFP

slfisher - Good question. But credit card companies absorb the risk, correct?
Whereever there's a possibily of getting something for nothing, bad folks will dream up a scheme, technical or otherwise to line their pockets with other people's money. Keeping ahead of those folks must be an ongoing task for retailers and the equipment manufacturers. I wonder if laws need to be updated perhaps for stiffer penalties for technical frauds?
any clues for how we as consumers can protect ourselves? anything we should be looking for?
That's really terrible news. Businesses just can't be too careful these days. I'm hoping credit card companies put pressure on the businesses they deal with to ramp up security.
Speaking of which, credit card companies seem to have a pretty good handle on their security these days, using Big Data to detect fraud early. I wonder if they're the reason why Dexter was caught when it was, or am I just being naive about Big Data and credit card companies?
