The American Cancer Society is asking Queens residents to participate in a research study on cancer prevention.
The organization kicked off a recruitment drive for the study at Queens College on Friday.
They are hoping to get 500 locals to sign up during enrollment days this May.
Participants will be asked to fill out surveys about their lifestyle and will continue to receive a survey over the next 20 years in hopes of finding clues to the causes of cancer.
"This is a preventive study that I really, personally believe is a wonderful opportunity for all individuals to participate in so we could potentially find what causes certain cancers," Myrna Barginear of the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute said.
"I hear so many times, time after time, day after day, about people saying, I really wish I could do more, what could I do to do more," Cathleen Garry of the American Cancer Society of Queens said. "This is the time that you can do more. Join the study, be part of the fight."
For more information about the study and how to enroll, log on to cps3queens.org.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners

South Florida, home to sobbing judges and Elián González lawsuits, is the nation's capital of ridiculous litigation. So it's only fitting we play host to this doozy: Marion "Suge" Knight versus Kanye West.
In January 2009, the bankrupt former Death Row Records CEO filed a federal lawsuit against West, claiming the rapper should be financially responsible for an unsolved 2005 shooting at a party he hosted at South Beach's posh Shore Club that left Knight capped in the femur.
Among Knight's alleged damages: medical bills, expenses including "the cost of a private plane to transport him from Florida back to Los Angeles," and a supposedly $135,000 diamond earring that Knight claims was stolen in the melee. The Shore Club's owners were also named as defendants in the suit.
Originally filed in California district court, the suit has now been transferred to Miami."People shouldn't underestimate Suge Knight," says his boisterous lawyer Marc Brumer, adopting the tone of a boxing promoter before a title fight. "He's a very adept businessman. He's a mess, but he's sharp. Nobody likes Kanye West anymore. Even though he's still selling millions of records, everybody's sick of him."
It's unfortunate for Knight, then, that court cases aren't decided by American Idol-style mass text votes. The cigar-chomping, Bloods-affiliated ex-NFL linebacker is in serious need of cash. He has already sold his record label and still owes more than $6 million to the IRS.
Knight was scheduled to come to town for a deposition last week, but it appears the big man can't catch a break. "He was in a pretty serious car accident," Brumer explains. "He lost a couple of teeth, he's in pain, and he can't speak."
West might not be losing sleep over Knight's attack, but it's more bad news for the Shore Club, which was hit with a foreclosure suit in March. Lawyers representing the rapper and the hotel either did not return our calls or declined to comment.
This whole scenario woefully disillusions Riptide. What's the world coming to when hip-hop's resident real bad guy — who once reportedly hung Vanilla Ice from a balcony to wrest royalty rights from him — resorts to a lawsuit in shaking down a rapper for cash?

Ewa Kupiec plays Ravel's masterful Piano Concerto in G
Ewa has previously played Beethoven in San Antonio, and performed with maestro Sebastian Lang-Lessing several times, including the work they'll play this weekend.
"I trust him [Lang-Lessing], which is essential these days, when you're breathing together, and making music together, without tension, you know what is coming next, and you enjoy each other!"
"It's harder than it looks. You practice it, and it seems pretty straight forward. But when you add the orchestra, with the scoring and rhythms, it is not as easy as it seems, in fact it is really hard!" said Martina Filjak discussing Nights in the Gardens of Spain by Manuel de Falla.
Martina has played the piece for ten years now, and recently visited the gardens that inspired the work in Sierra de Cordoba.
Originally published on Thu October 25, 2012 8:57 am
After a busy summer that included concerts in Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, and a recording with Renee Fleming, Sebastian Lang-Lessing leads his first concert of the season.
"It's the most exciting concert!" said Lang-Lessing. "Of course, I'm going to say that about every concert."
The varied program includes violinist Baiba Skride in Robert Schumann's Concerto in d minor.
"Baiba and I were to have performed several times, and it has just never worked out, so I am very excited to have her solo in San Antonio, in one of the most dramatic works."
Coming up next week, a solo piano recital by Lang Lang, Tuesday, October 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Majestic Theatre. As he did in his last appearance in San Antonio, the image of his hands will be projected over the piano during the concert, so you'll see his technique from every seat in the historic Majestic.
The San Antonio Symphony was one of many across the country to be in contract negotiations and is now one of the few to finally come to an agreement. Symphony Board Chair Dennert Ware said the collective bargaining agreement will extend the length of the performance season. "We're slowly increasing the weeks from 27 to 29; we think that's a positive step," Ware said. "We made some very modest increases in salary."

Photos by Mary Barone
The 31st annual Swiss art fair includes, for the first time, a special section
devoted to 70 large-scale art projects by contemporary artists.
The opening event included a performance by the artist Cai Guo-Quiang,
who set off a wall of fireworks that left behind shredded paper
and residue in the form of a beautiful swirling dragon.
Needless to say it got the art-collecting ball rolling with excitement.
Some of the more interesting projects include:
D.J. Simpon's Untitled, 2000, a large-scale painting-sculpture on routed out board.
Cornelia Parker's Neither from nor Towards, house bricks retrieved from beneath the white cliffs of Dover, 1992.
Dan Peterman's 4 Ton Vertical Storage-Accessories to an Event, 1996, composed modules made of melted plastic.

Luxury Comfort & Privacy Vacation Rental
Hey, that's how my recent guests described their experience hiking Black Rock Forest Trails and Storm King Trails, all just a five minute drive from The Loft. They got some bang for their buck, hiking two different trails in two days and said they'll be back for more.

Train ride
The train ride was thr highlight of the trip so far for me. And the fact that Horatio Sanz was sleeping in your car was so cool! And he gave you a CD...which was unbeleivably horrible! More French Jazz please. Big game this weekend. Where are you going to watch it? Stalin's sports bar and prison.
Dungeons and Dragons
Loading Map
For some reason, our Macedonian friends hadn't had enough of us after 27 hours on The Balkan Express. We drank coffee at a caf� across from the train station, and then Elena kindly walked us towards our accommodations as I carried a bundle of her paintings she made over summer for class. We made plans to meet later in the week.
Our hotel was a former communist apartment building, and if ever there was a smell I would associate with the word "industrialization", it was in that elevator. It was dank and metallic, like bars of iron that had been rubbed together since the days of Sputnik. As one might expect, the dungeon-esque rooms were small and boxy. As one wouldn't expect in a country formerly behind the Iron Curtain, the television produced the U.S
We dropped our bags and headed out to discover the capital of Slovenia. Ljubljana is as quaint a major city as there is, and I feel like I can say this without even seeing the rest of the world. The Ljubljanica River bisects the old town, with three major bridges holding it together - the Dragon Bridge, the Triple Bridge, and the Cobblers' Bridge. The Dragon Bridge was dedicated to a Hapsburg Emperor and has two dragons, the symbol of Ljubljana, at each end. The Triple Bridge was built by native son and much-beloved Joze Pletcnik to resemble the Rialto Bridge in Venice in recognition of the influence it had in this region. And the Cobblers' Bridge, another Pletcnik project, caps off a riverfront walk that is famous for people watching.
In Preseren Square, which is the main center of the Slovenian capital, we marveled at how small the town really was. It reminded me of a college town mixed with a state capital as we sat amongst the students underneath the statue of national poet France Preseren. I was impressed that a writer, not some guy on a horse, was the namesake of the country's greatest meeting place. With Preseren and Pletcnik as the artistic forefathers, a lively student population, and a nation that is at the precipice of fully joining the European community, Ljubljana really seems like a city ready for an explosion of the arts.
We continued our walk through Congress Square, which was basically � Washington Square, � Plaza of the Americas. The pathways cut through the rectangle of grass toward a circular center, and students were lounging wherever there was shade
The next morning, Alli wanted to try to find the president, but really she just wanted to shop in the endless riverfront stalls selling New York City street fair merchandise. I pulled her away from a silver stand, and we made our way towards the Ljubljana Castle atop the hill. After an incident over the definition of ice coffee, we enjoyed its sweeping vistas of the charming village below with a distant backdrop comprised of the Julian Alps.
By now, most people probably realize that I didn't vote for George W. Bush. As far left of center as I thought I was, though, nothing I had ever learned in the Cobb County Georgia public school system prepared me for what I heard from Elena when we met for drinks on our last night in town. In the heart of red-state America, they just don't teach you that a communist society can have serious benefits.
We met Elena at the statue in Preseren Square and casually walked around town, stopping for burek, for some of Europe's best people watching along the caf�-lined Ljubljanica River, and finally for a few beers in a leafy beer garden where, eventually, the conversation turned to politics
Without getting too specific, Tito was an enigmatic leader who banded together these different regions. He often ruled harshly, but people admired him for what he was able to do in keeping the country united. He was even given aid from the United States because his brand of "soft communism" rarely lined up with the Soviet style, and Tito considered himself as a bridge between the two world powers. Communism is the "evil empire", though, or so we were always taught.
Elena began to tell us about her parents and grandparents. I asked her what they thought about the old days, and to my surprise, she said they missed them. They missed Tito. They missed the affordable housing that the government helped provide. They missed the days when there weren't homeless people begging or stealing money to get by. They missed the days when everyone had a job. They missed the days of a large middle class, as opposed to the great division between today's have and have nots. They missed communism.
Is it possible that my school teachers in Marietta, Georgia only knew one definition of freedom? I mean, what is it really? I know I am free because I can write what I please. I know I am free because I can speak out against the government. But is anyone truly "free" in a world based on the cycle of production and consumption?
Someone once used public bathrooms as an example
I understand that capitalism is the only socioeconomic structure that seems to work - the communist experiment failed - but why is the world's only successful system one that is based on greed and who can "get" more? What's the point in having more when so many of us already have so much? And is it possible that people today have so much because someone else must have so little?
After talking to Elena, I learned that people think of freedom as a chance for everyone to live a decent life, not just the option to choose Coca-Cola over the communist-era Cockta. (I mean the stuff does taste like crap, but in today's Slovenia people are once again enjoying the "taste of their youth.") I began to understand why her family actually misses communism, an era when the government helped their family take vacations twice a year
She said:
After enjoying a much better cup of coffee, Ilan-Dime left to catch another train to Trieste, and Elena accompanied us to help find accommodations. She dragged her suitcase to the first hostel we tried, but it was full. We told her we'd be fine, feeling terrible since she had so much stuff, and insisted she hop in a cab after we swapped phone numbers. We found a hotel quickly thereafter and headed straight for the showers. It felt great to shower after that train ride!
We had some lunch, and then dove right into the first half of Rick Steves' walking tour. Ljubljana is a great little town surrounding a castle up on the mountain. It reminded me of many familiar places as we walked around and explored. It had the essence of a college town, but still maintained an urban atmosphere. There is a town center used for art exhibitions, as a meeting place, for an ice cream or coffee, or merely just as a people watching venue around France Preseren (the city's greatest poet is honored with a large statue at the center of the square)
We decided to try a touristy restaurant listed in our book and treat ourselves a bit. It was a self-described traditional Slovenian restaurant called Sokol, where the servers and bartenders are dressed in traditional Slovenian apparel and polka music is playing in the background. We had a good meal and some local beers and then called it an early night to catch up on some sleep.
We have had many hostels and/or hotels that bragged of free breakfast with the price of the room. More times than not, that means crappy coffee and some bread, butter, and/or marmalade. Sometimes, it means good coffee with bread. This is the first place that meant business when they said "breakfast included", and we took full advantage. There was a buffet, an actual buffet, with cereal and eggs, fruit and toast, juice and coffee. Are you serious? The coffee was crappy, but who cares? We ate like budget travelers with the intention of only having to buy one more meal that day, dinner.
Clearly after the biggest breakfast we've had since Dublin, walking was a must. So, we took the second half of Rick's tour to see more of the city. This walk included an open market, my favorite! In the outside part of the market, there were knick-knacks galore, tons of beautiful hand made ceramics and blown glass, clothing, sunglasses, etc
Coffee Sidebar: We stopped to satisfy my ice coffee urge, the crappy buffet coffee just didn't do the trick this day. The first place we went to didn't have ice coffee. I thought it a bit weird, but we weren't sure the server totally understood the request. Chad began to wonder if Slovenian's don't drink ice coffee, I found this thought ridiculous. If you drink coffee, it's not such a stretch to think you might put it over ice when it's hot out. The second place we entered said, yes, they had ice coffee. We sat down and I ordered ice coffee. The description in the menu included ice cream and whipped cream, I asked the waiter if I could just have the coffee. Alli: "Just coffee, milk, and ice?" Waiter: "Yes, coffee, milk and ice". What did I get? A room temperature Bailey's Irish coffee drink; no ice, no coffee, and a distinct hint of alcohol. Chad refused to believe there was alcohol in it and was now giving me the I-told-you-so lecture about how Slovenians did not drink ice coffee, at least as we know it. Apparently not, but I don't understand what is so difficult about pouring coffee over ice! I called the waiter over and asked him what was in the coffee. Rum was in the coffee; I was not crazy. Defeated, I asked for a simple coffee with milk as I was not interested in drinking rum
The next stop was a visit to Ljubljana's castle. This required a short, steep hike up a hill of mostly residential homes. When we reached the top, we watched a 3-D movie on the history of Ljubljana before climbing to the top for a sweeping view of the city. It was not crowded at all, and much of the time, Chad and I were the only ones up there. I enjoyed the calm atmosphere very much as I scanned the countryside and enjoyed the breeze.
That night we decided to go to a local Mexican restaurant, as we really wanted to switch it up and enjoy a cuisine we missed from home. The place was packed (mostly students), and the food was inexpensive and filling. We left satisfied, although, I wouldn't exactly call the food authentic!
We took it easy the next morning and went back to the room for some leisure time after our breakfast
Before meeting up with Elena, we stopped at one of the squares by the river for some traditional Slovenic folk dancing. We watched as the locals in costume danced to the accordion with pride (see attached file), and then met up with Elena for some drinks. She met us in the square, and upon hearing we hadn't tried the traditional "burak" yet, took us to one of the best places in the city. Then we went down by the river to have some drinks in the more popular part of town. Our last stop was a local bar, hidden in the trees with jazz playing in the background. We enjoyed one more drink with our new friend and had some good, thought-provoking conversation.
She explained about how it used to be before the war, and gave some insight as to how people her elder feel about the how things are now. As Chad teased her brain some more, I listened and tried to imagine what it must have been like for her, as a young child, and her family. We watch "coverage" on T.V., but I don't believe anyone can really get a sense for how war affects the people until you've spoken to someone who has been there. Although Elena was young, she was very well-versed about it. It was a conversation that really made me think about my own ideologies and theories on how a country should be run.

Train ride
Yeah, Tito evokes a lot of conflicting feelings among residents of the former Yugoslavia. Some of the folks we met were glad to be rid of 'soft communism.' They tended to be the folks who were doing quite nicely, thank you. Others longed for the days of job security. They tended to be the ones who were having a tough time adjusting to entrepreneurship and a market economy. In Germany, this is called 'ostalgia' -- nostalgia for East (Ost) Germany.
Part of the difficulty, it seems to me, is that many countries don't get the concept of 'soft capitalism' -- that is, a market economy that also takes care of the less fortunate. Heck, I don't think our country currently gets that concept.
Isn't travel wonderful for unwrapping new ideas and new ways of looking at old ideas?
the government is watching
you need be careful what you say about the upside of anti capitalist government. people are watching. dark suits and glasses in small windowless rooms on the potomac. and you can be targeted for acts of sedition. this is no joking matter. and besides, thanks to the capitalism that these elderly slovenians detest, their young grandkids can now wack off some really hot slove babes, as oppose to their day, when granpa could only choose between the girl in the dark green coat and the other girl in the dark green coat, or her friend, the one in the dark green coat. Touching yourself has never been so fun.
Tito's time
Hi all, I'm a Slovenian guy and I would like to tell you some more facts about period before 90's (communism regim). It seemd to be as Elena told you but there are two geroups of people. One says that it was great, that every one had a job, house,.... and the others, including me, that are more real, have different explanation.
Yes I have a little bit of nostalgia for that time, why? Evrything was so easy, we didn't have to worry almost about anything, the only thing to worry about was not to speak against goverment... I had no problems, because I always want to leave my own way...but there is another fact, it was impossible to continue, because economics of country were catastrophic. Yes, you can get a house, a job, but where you get the money for that? Even a country can not stamp it, day after day.... as it was happening in Yugoslavia. It was an utopia. Tell me, will you have a company and instead of, for example, 100 employees, what is enough for your business, 200 employees, just to say everyone can get a job in my company?
This was the way Yugoslavian politic functioned... and it leaded to economic break.
And now everyone misses that time?

I cannot plant anything here until mid May, so all is going to work out from a time perspective. I am not anticipating any hops I can use, but I will be happy if I get a couple. I am building for the future here and to share some with my local brew mates.
I have already plotted out where I am going to be planting these suckers. Can't wait to watch em grow.
Next up is a bulk grain order.
I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer.- Homer Simpson
How is the growth going on your crop. Right now I have 2 first year cascades about 17 ft tall with massive amounts of large burrs but I am worried none of them will mature before the frost starts to hit here in Edmonton around sept 20-28 (on average).
My second year plants did really well this year. there are some pics in this thread http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/show...ml#post4335121 and here http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/show...ml#post4289104 I ran them up to the upstairs neighbour's deck and let out more line when they hit the top, forming coils that I hung over my railing. This allowed them to grow almost 20ft long with only 8 ft of vertical. Its a great system but there is a lot of tangling. I have a small section of fully formed willamette cones that are almost ready, a small section of cascade that are not close yet and a giant tangled mass of willamette and cascade ...but that isn't the worst blend. It will make a nice old school west coast IPA
Yeah I am looking forward to this year. Last year I got a few oz from each strain I planted but overall it was wayyy too hot here and it sucked for growing. Looking for Citra rhizomes, Or Amarillo but cant find any.
Thanks guys. That answers the question as to why I can't find any... I have Cascade, Mt Hood, and BC Goldings if anyone wants to trade.. Wicked idea on the twig...I worked in a Garden centre for years so if it can be brought back to life I will do just that...Vitamin B1 and kelp soak will help..
standard rooting powder should work well too. only prob is that a pound of fresh hops is like $30, would suck to buy one and not get any (viable) twigs...
Oh my! Another Ottawa guy... How did the first year crop go? Did you get a significant yield? Any trouble with aphids or anything?
I'm picking up some Centennial and Cascade rhizomes, this spring, from Bristol Hops. I'd love to score some Hollertau rhizomes, too, since they smell so so sweet. Doing everything in planters, this year, since I'm planning/hoping to buy a new/bigger home in the fall/winter, and don't want to give up any of my hops

Up All Night
NBC's Up All Night should have been a hit. The show came with a strong comedy pedigree: It starred Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph and was produced by Saturday Night Live don Lorne Michaels. At the center was what seemed to be a relatable premise for the young adults watching the network's upscale comedies: a hip, young couple adjusts to life with a baby.
But two years after creator Emily Spivey shot the pilot (then called Alpha Mom), Up All Night is all but gone, suffering the death of a thousand tinkers. A heavily touted plan to morph the show into a multi-camera sitcom is now mostly abandoned, and some of the outlandish ideas bandied about for the revamp (including one idea involving rock star...

In the last two articles, "Reverse-engineer Source Code into UML Diagrams" and "Visual Documentation of Ant Dependencies in 3 Simple Steps" we saw how easy and valuable it was to automate technical documentation. By using open source tools, we were easily able to provide good technical documentation within a few minutes, and at no cost at all. We were also able to keep this up-to date by adding additional tasks to our Ant build files, and run them from our CI Server(Hudson in our case) on commit and nightly builds, and also publish the results.
In this article, I will be showing you how to use yet another tool called Doxygen for generating technical documentation based on your source code. We all have used Javadoc and have been using it for a long time, right? So, you may ask what's the need to have another tool which produces the same HTML documentation? Doxygen has a slight edge over Javadoc and here are a few reasons why you should consider using the same:
- With Javadoc you have to remember all the HTML tags, you need to embed within your code comments. However, with Doxygen code comments are much more concise and polished, without the need for any HTML.
- Doxygen can also generate a variety of diagrams, we will take a look at some of them later.
- Doxygen also provides a structured view on the source code. As I mentioned in 2 above in the form of various diagrams, cross-referenced and syntax highlighted code.
- You get all the above benefits even if the code does not have any comments at all.
- Last but not the least, Doxygen is a documentation system not for just Java but also for various other languages like C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors), Fortran, VHDL, PHP, C#.
So, without wasting further time, lets see what we need to get started with Doxygen.
Step 1. Download, Install Doxygen.
Download the binary distribution for Doxygen for the operating system you are using. I downloaded the binary distribution for Mac OS X called Doxygen-1.5.6.dmg. Installation is very simple, just drag the doxygen icon from this folder to the Applications folder, or wherever you want to keep it; as shown. I dropped it within my Applications folder. Just be sure to remember where you dragged it. To uninstall, just delete the file. It is completely self-contained.
Step 2: Configure Doxygen.
To generate documentation using Doxygen, you will need a configuration file called the Doxyfile. You can generate this file in two ways; either by using the Doxygen wizard or by using the command line option. Lets see how to use both these options to generate the configuration file:
a. Command line. Open a command window and type the following as shown below:
You should be able to locate the configuration file created within your default user folder. The file looks like this:
# Doxyfile 1.5.6
# This file describes the settings to be used by the documentation system
# doxygen (www.doxygen.org) for a project
# All text after a hash (#) is considered a comment and will be ignored
# The format is:
# TAG = value [value, ...]
# For lists items can also be appended using:
# TAG += value [value, ...]
# Values that contain spaces should be placed between quotes (" ")
# Project related configuration options
# This tag specifies the encoding used for all characters in the config file
# that follow. The default is UTF-8 which is also the encoding used for all
# text before the first occurrence of this tag. Doxygen uses libiconv (or the
# iconv built into libc) for the transcoding. See
# http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv for the list of possible encodings.
# The PROJECT_NAME tag is a single word (or a sequence of words surrounded
# by quotes) that should identify the project.
# The PROJECT_NUMBER tag can be used to enter a project or revision number.
# This could be handy for archiving the generated documentation or
# if some version control system is used.
b. Wizard Option.
Launch the Doxygen application, and you should be able to create the configuration file using the wizard approach as shown below.
The user interface is quite intuitive so I am going to skip explaining this in detail.
The wizard approach was the one I used to get the initial settings for the configuration file. which you can always modify later.
A few options in my Doxygen configuration file are as follows:
# Doxyfile 1.5.6
# Project related configuration options
PROJECT_NAME = PetStore
# Build related configuration options
# configuration options related to the HTML output
HTML_OUTPUT = html
HTML_FILE_EXTENSION = .html

Yum! This stuff smells sweet, flowery, and sexy all at the same time. It's hard to put too much of this stuff on as the scent is subtle and delicate. One of my absolute favorites from Victoria's Secret!

Yes you may use this
If you love the old one & hate the new one then turn & leave right now.
Last chance to turn & leave if you're a fan of the old one & hater of the new one.
Ok to put it simple for you all; only God knows how much I hate this movie.
Or another way of putting it; My hate towards this movie is like the the universe, ever expanding.
Now you can continue on reading this or not if the past two sentences weren't enough for you.
That's it! I'm sick of it! I'm tired of all the fans of the old one waahhing to me on my opinion over the new Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. What? I like it & I say it's better than the old one & stood closer to the book (and it is) & they can't handle it!? If you like the old one, I'm fine with that. But those people that almost wanna murder me because I love the new one are the ones that pissed me off enough to make this stamp!
I don't even know where to begin on how horrible this sad excuse for a book-adaption is! I fucking hate this movie,
!!! You wanna know how much I hate this movie? I wish I could grab a metal bat, go back in time & beat the living shit out of all the people who ruined this movie (including Dahl [but not as hard as I would beat everyone else]) & send them to the hospital. That's hate right there. Or to put it simpler, only God knows how much
this movie. I would so rather watch some darker version of a kids movie/book/art/poem than some cheesy, plain kids story/movie/poem.
I hated this movie since I was a kid! I read the book, loved it, & heard there was a movie to it. My mom rented it, & I watched it with her. I was scared shitless by those Oompa Loompas, & then got pissed off on how far it was from the book. I even told my mom to tell off the people who made this movie. Looking back at it, it was stupid. But hey I was a kid then. I also don't know why Dahl would ruin his own book by making the plot & story so shitty & predictable! And then I decided to look at the movie again now that I was older to see if I could like it. No, I ended up almost coughing out my own lungs on how horrible the movie was (& I'll explain everything on that movie shortly).
No one
in my family, but my little cousin, Carmen, likes this movie. I honestly have no idea where the hell that Golden Egg scene, those horribly written songs & Oompa Loompa designs, & that fizzy soda scene came from (just to name a few unexistant scenes).
I saw the new one, loved it, & it stood so much closer to the book than that shit-fest 70s one. And no, I didn't go see it & liked it because Tim Burton did it. I loved that movie (as well as all of his other previous films) WAAAAYYYYY before I became a Burton fan. In fact, I never even knew at the time the new one came out that it existed. My aunts rented it for the kids, & I decided to watch it with them. And wow, I ended up adoring it (this was way before I ever got into movies). It stays loyal to it's source, & even did a better job with the original ending.
And what really pisses me off about why people like the old one is because they always say the same shit; "OMG I'm a huge Gene Wilder Fan &….." "Johny Depp is no Gene Wilder" "Gene Wilder made the movie so fun, wild, & unpredictable, & funny! Johnny Depp was acting like Michael Jackson he's not supposed to be acting like that!" "Gene Wilder…Gene Wilder….Gene Wilder"…Gene Wilder, Gene Wilder, Gene Wilder, Gene Wilder, Gene shut the fuck up about Gene Wilder! He isn't a comedic God! That's all I hear from you people, in fact, I think that's the only reason you people love the old one, because of Gene Wilder! Like a movie for how it's done, not for the actors!
Now lemme explain how horrible this movie is:
Cast & acting :
I think the only person who wasn't a miscast & bad actor was Gene Wilder, he played the character exactly as the book, but even so, he got boring & sooner started to look like some child molester. As for the rest of the cast & characters….where the hell did they get them from? Acting camp? No one in there seemed to have been taking their roles seriously. They were all taking their acting & characters like a joke. And that's another thing, the characters & their acting. Charlie looked like some kid who already knew he was going to get what he deserved after he got that dollar. His grandfather sounded rude & arrogant. Augustus Gloop looked tall, skinny, & athletic; not the fat, repulsive boy he was described as. Violet looked more like Augustus. And in the scene where she begins to inflate is probably where she acts her worst. She began to say
"I feel funny"
when she was ready to burst & yet before that, she showed no signs of pain throughout any part of that scene, she was smiling as she inflated! Veruca looked like some preppy school girl more than she did a spoiled one. And her father smiled when she fell down the bad egg chute…..what kind of dad smiles after seeing his daughter falling down a chute!? And let's finally get to Mike. He looked more like & acted more like a fan of cowboy movies & more polite. Not rude, & smart-ass like he was described.
As for the Oompa Loompas,
that is not an Oompa Loompa, that is something a constipated alien shitted out it's ass after eating a box of roseart crayons.
That's an OOmpa Loompa, that is what they were described in the book, & that's what an Oompa Loompa should look like.
You have the right to pick whichever you like better, but this here is my opinion on why I hate the characters & the movie.
Willy Wonka - Gene Wilder Wonka
Now, Gene Wilder played his role/character exactly like the book, well somewhat. But sadly, his look was boring, & looked rather like he'd just reached into his basement & grabbed whatever old rags he found to wear. And Wilder's performance became boring & soon started looking like some child molester. He sure was interested in those kids. Another thing, his performance was so bland at a certain point that I would have preferred some other actor like Dustin Hoffman to have played the role.
That being said, Gene Wilder's Wonka character is just unrealistically kind & accepting to the rotten kids (who aren't even rotten to begin with in this movie). I mean, he's way to nice to a spoiled brat, an over-achieving girl, a greedy & gluttonous boy, & an annoying -ass TV addict. At least Johnny Depp managed to be rude to those kids like they deserved to, & for a good reason, which brings me to my next point on Deep's performance nicely.
Johnny Depp Wonka
Johnny Depp's Wonka may have changed, mainly due to the subplot & background on him, but that was the point. Roal Dahl would have wanted that seeing that he also HATED how in the old one it focused so little on Wonka. But the other thing, this Wonka is almost like Michael Jackson in performance, because frankly, in the book he was described as almost insane. He is rude to the kids & to Charlie's grandparents, & for a reason. He has isolated himself from the outer world for so long, that it is hard for him to be nice to people he's never met, & plus, his father was an asshole to him. Another thing, he's rude & realistic, especially to the rotten kids (who actually ARE rotten in this movie), because they deserve it. At least Johnny Depp can act & keep someone entertained rather than the nostalgia fags who only like Gene Wilder's Wonka simply because it's Gene Wilder.
You can say the same to me because this Wonka is played by Johnny Depp, but no, I like this Wonka, because he's insanely funny, & extremely realistic in characterization. And you know what? when I first watched this movie, I didn't even know that was Johnny Depp playing Wonka, I really didn't. When I read in the Wikipedia credits to who plays what character, I was almost left astounded when I saw that Johnny Depp was Wonka, it didn't even look like him.
Charlie Bucket:
This insolent little prick deserves to have his head pounded by a brick. He is not only annoying, but an ungrateful, selfish moron who doesn't deserve to have won in the end.
Now this Charlie right here is a better role model for kids, despite the fact that he could even be the new Jesus
While some kids may disagree with some of the things he says about parents, he gives good morals to others, & actually looks kindhearted & full of spirit.
Grandpa Joe:
Ok, he may be somewhat of a good Grandpa, but this grandfather is rude & arrogant (& he can't sing either).
This grandpa Joe looks older & a little creepier, but he's nice, & funny.
Violet Beauregarde:
This Violet not only looks more like she could have been a better Augustus, but looks nothing athletic, determined, or confident, & is also a horrible actress.
This violet not only looks like everything the old Violet wasn't, but also acts like it too, & not to mention she kicks ass.
Veruca Salt:
I'll give the actress who played the old Violet credit for playing her character right, but the problem with the old Violet was that she looked nothing spoiled, instead, she looked like some preppy school girl.
The new Veruca Salt not only plays the spoiled brat role right, but she looks spoiled right away without a doubt, & not to mention that she pouts her mouth exactly like all spoiled girls do when they say "Want!"
Mike Teavee:
Ok for real, this Mike looks nothing like a rude, smartypants, at all, nor does he look like a fan of video games & television, in fact, he just looks like a better Charlie Bucket for the old one.
DO I have to say more? He's got that rude, smart-ass & tv obsessed look on his face, & even plays the role even better.
Augustus Gloop:
Ok first off, this kid doesn't look fat, at all, even with that plate of spaghetti. Secondly, this kid doesn't look repulsive, instead he looks more like a kid who goes to a very high class school. And third of all, he could have been a better Violet for the old one, because he looks athletic & slim.
The new Augustus looks repulsive & obese just by looking at him. Enough said.
Old Violet's Parent:
Ok this guy doesn't look anything like Violet's father, in fact, he just look like Some Pee-Wee Herman reject. Honestly, who would believe that a girl like Violet would be caught with her dad? Let alone even a dad looking like that?
New Violet's Parent:
She's hot, athletic looking, looks a lot like her own daughter, & you could totally picture her going with her own daughter to the factory.
Old Veruca Salt's parent:
Couldn't find the right picture of Roy Kinnear so that one will have to do. Anyways, that guy right there looks nothing like a rich man, at all. He could be the dad for the old Violet for that matter! He's too big & the fact that he laughed when his own daughter fell down the egg chute just shows how much of a 'good dad' he is.
New Violet's parent:
This Mr. Salt looks fancy, wealthy, & rather comical. He's a well devoted father who panders to his daughter's every fucking needs & doesn't realize that until the end.
Augustus's old parent:
Ok she looks like the right role for Mrs. Gloop, & that's only because her own son doesn't even look like what he was supposed to.
Augustus's new parent:
She's a perfect fit considering that she looks like her son & also is big, but she also plays her role perfectly.
Mike's old Parent:
If anyone actually bought this character/actor as a geography teacher, then I feel sorry for you. She is better off playing the role of some house mother or another character in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. She looks nothing like a mother or a geography teacher.
Mike's new Parent:
Ok now this guy not only looks like the perfect geography teacher, but can also be a geometry teacher. He looks rather nerdy & father-like. You can't go wrong with him.
The majority of them were advanced for their own time, but some of them were at their most laughable points. I think the worst scene was the TV room where they showed the particles/atoms moving above them. Last time I checked you're not supposed to see particles in the air, no matter how fictional something is. The chocolate river was a terrible effect. Anyone that is smart could obviously see the water with a dirty brown food coloring. They could have used something to make it thicker.
WTF is that?! That's not an everlasting gobstopper! That is a bad piece of origami that a rock shitted out after its constipation! And I swear that thing could kill someone if swallowed & choke on or thrown at.
Sadly, as advance as the effects in the movie were for their own time, they are overshadowed by the effects in the new one. And don't come by giving me "The effects in the new one suck" or "The new one was nothing more than a cheap cgi fest!!" no, no, bull fucking shit.
The new one only used a handful of cgi effects, mainly on the glass elevator scenes, a handful on the squirrels, & a few others. The rest of the factory was all enlarged props & scale models, & that chocolate river was made of 192,000 tons of melted candy.
That is what a chocolate factory should look like. Tasty, lickable, mouth watering, & where everything literally looks eatable.
wtf is is that?! That's not a chocolate factory, that's a stupid kids day care & a pedophiles dream lure, & Gene Wilder is the kids' child molester. The whole factory is supposed to be CANDY! The shitty 70s factory had FERNS & BUSHES, BRICK roads, giant inflated BALLOON lollipops, giant PLASTIC gummy bears, BEACH BALLS, & PAPER MACHE trees!
Plot & story:
The movie's plot is predictable & the story is laughable. Now as for those of you complaining how the new one had Wily Wonka was the main character, I'm getting to that. Now, the old one had Charlie as the main character, which is how it was, but it had very little focus on Wonka, & that's one of the reasons Dahl really hated about the movie, the little focus on Willy.
Now the new has Charlie as the main character for the first half of the movie, & then for the next half, it focuses on Willy Wonka as the main character. Burton did that not only because that's usually what he does with a character played by Johnny Depp, but also because Dahl wanted more focus on Wonka. And I myself actually wanted to know more about Wonka as well.
Ok that has nothing close to a chocolate nor factory-like feel to it, at all. It sounds like some over-dramatic shit, & has the sound of a marching band & some cliche drama film. And don't even get me started on those annoying, poorly written Oompa Loompa songs.
As for Danny Elfman's version of the songs & score, they're all well done. Sure some of the score sounds a little dark due to the added chorus, but that's what I like. Elfman captures the feel of any movie with his music.
That has both the factory & chocolate feel to it. Not only that but it has Elfman's signature dark chorus added to it, making it perfect.
Faithfulness to its source:
It doesn't even deserve to say "Based on the book by Rohald Dahl". IDK where they got that Golden Egg scene, those Oompa Loompas, that floating, bubble scene, & those horrible songs.
The ending to the old one stood exactly like the ending in the book, yes I'll admit that, but even then I still don't like it anymore
I didn't even like how it ended in the book; it was too cheesy for me. Burton's one actually gave a lesson to kids, would they give up their family for some Factory & all the candy in the World? I don't think so. Hell I would have, screw my life & family, I would've taken the deal anyways.
And as for those who are just gonna say ¨Oh, well that´s just your opinion & just because a movie doesn't stay close to the book doesn't make it bad, & just because the new one stays closer to the book doesn't make it better!¨ No, you can kiss my ass. I'm tired of you hypocrites saying all of that bullshit, but yet I see you all saying ¨I hate Disney movies because they don't stay close to the books!!¨. FUCK THAT SHIT! The old one sucks major ass, whether you compare it to the book or not. And the new one is far superior, ESPECIALLY compared to the old or not.
And all of you can go ahead & say I have terrible taste in movie or I don't know what a good movie is for hating this shitty movie, I'll not only know further I'm right, but also showing how stupid this movie's fanbase is, & I can clearly use those same terms against you for liking this shitty movie.
But what I am TIRED of hearing form these fans is that the new one sucks compared tot his one. NO IT DOESN'T! The new one is not a terrible movie, compared to the old one or not (even though the only one that DOES suck compared to one another is the old one). If you think one movie sucks because of comparing it to the other , then you, you fail at reviewing something. Watch a remake/readaption for what is is. When I watch a remake or whatever, I watch it & both compare it to the original version & then I see it as a standalone film, because the original source is one thing & this is another. I've seen SHIT films that are terrible whether you compare it to the original source or see it as a standalone movie (A Nightmare on Elm Street). But NOOOOO, you people just HAVE TO COMPARE the new one to the old one all the time don't you?! If the new one is a terrible movie, then Batman & Robin is superior to The Dark Knight.
Shit movies I'd rather watch over this:
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, The Return of Jafar, FernGully 2, Terminator Salvation, The Jungle Book, Chicken Little, Cars, Meet the Robinsons, Ratatouille, most of the shitty Disney straight to DVD sequels, Jaws 4, A Troll in Central Park, Bones, Amusement, & so many, many more!
My Final Score for this movie:
I can't believe they changed the title as well. I really hate that old film & the more people bag on me for hating it, I hate it even more (though I don't know if I's possible to hate more than I already do). Hands down, Burton's version is superior in every way. This movie lands on #2 of the top 3 WORST musicals I have ever seen (the other two being Camp Rock, & Oliver), one of the worst kids movies ever made, tied with Eragon on my list of the worst book adaption movies I have ever seen in my life, & #1 on my list of the most hated movies list. This movie was so bad that Roald Dahl not only hated it, but
to sell the rights for a sequel. Thanks a lot Mel Stuart
Note: Don't bother sending me some critic's review or that Nostalgia Critic's review on this movie because I will NOT AGREE WITH THEM, & you'll just make me hate the old one more. And to all of you fantards of the old one who are gonna come by "Well you're wrong, the old one is still better", no, no I'm not. This movie sucks dick, in every way, even as a stand-alone film.
You have all the right to disagree with me, but if you deny how bad the acting was, then I'm sorry, I can't respect your opinion. You also don't have to change your mind about what you think about the old one after reading this. You can still like the old one if you want to.
Best bottom line review

OT: My article on this amazing player
I rarely ever publicize any articles I do as a sports freelancer but this kid I interviewed for my hometown paper (well not hometown paper but Decatur, Ala. is about 20 miles from my hometown of Huntsville), well his story is truly remarkable.
This kid reminds me of why I love sports, particularly college athletics.
At home in Division III
Ex-East Limestone standout finds family atmosphere, success at Centre College in Kentucky
By Ronak Patel
Sports Writer
Many high school football players dream of playing big-time Division I football, especially for the big-name programs, enjoying the bright lights and acclaim that comes with it.
But somtimes a player instead lands at a smaller place where he finds comfort and, most of all, peace of mind.
For Jonathan Pinque, a former East Limestone High football standout, that place is Danville, Ky.
Pinque, a sophomore running back, finished his second season at Division III Centre College on Saturday, leading the team in rushing yards with 940 yards and 10 touchdowns. His yardage also led the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
"All of us at one at one time think or dream of playing D-I or D-II football and even in the pros," Pinque said. "But I don't really care for that, playing D-I. We have it here. Everything you do there is here. We watch film, have tough practices and play on Saturdays.
"I love my teammates, the coaching staff and I'm not missing out on anything."
Despite a tough 27-17 setback this past Saturday to Trinity University that ended the team's season and its hopes of winning the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, Pinque's contributions to the team and off the field have not gone overlook.
Pinque won the conference player of the week honors two times this season and was named the SCAC Character & Community male student athlete of the week Oct. 11. Pinque works in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and also helped with the clean-up of Danville following last year's winter storm.
"There are middle school kids looking up to athletes. It can be any level, the pros, college or high school — and we're being watched by others," Pinque said. "It's vital to treat others with respect and be respectful because people will remember that."
Family connection
Born in Haiti, Jonathan was adopted at the age of 2 by Audre Pinque and relocated to California. The Pinque family moved Mexico when he was 7 before heading to North Alabama in 2001.
"I don't remember much about Haiti," Pinque said.
When Pinque was 12, Audre died. Thus, the backbone of Pinque's life was now his grandfather, Ralph, and his uncle, Blair, who has autism.
On June 30, Ralph past away. Pinque's teammates gave him support he needed.
"(My team) was really there for me," Pinque said. "I came to Kentucky and trained in the summer, but after his passing, a couple of my teammates flew down right away and (head coach Andrew Frye) came down for three to four days, helping me with funeral arrangements.
"It's amazing the help they gave me, and I don't know what would've happened if I went to another school."
Frye and the staff also assisted in helping Jon's uncle relocate to Danville.
"My uncle lives a block from campus and he comes to all of the home games," Pinque said. "My grandfather used to come to all of my games, and he made be believe I can really conquer anything.
"My uncle loves watching me play, and with him being here, it's also like having my grandfather around."
Life or death
On March 20, 2005, Pinque endured a life-changing event while only 16 and still a student at East Limestone.
He was hanging out at his home in Toney when several of his friends came over. One of them came over in a new car. After visiting outside for a bit, several of them wanted to go take a spin in the new vehicle.
"When they took off, I went back in, was on the phone and heard a loud bang," Pinque said.
The bang was the car hitting the pond across the street from Jon's house. Five of his friends were in the car, but three of them managed to escape before the car began submerging in the water. Two of his friends, Jacob Bobby Green and Ricky Jaramillo, were still stuck inside the car.
"I chased towards the pond and jumped in," Pinque said. "I tried to unlock the doors, and the water was rising. (Jacob's) eyes were really big, and I couldn't pry open the door.
"I began freaking out and I get out of the water to regroup. I was telling myself, 'Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I can't do anything to get them out.' "
Although he was panicked, Pinque realized that his brother had a lot of tools in the garage and he went looking for something that would aid him in prying the car door open. Pinque stumbled across a metal dumbbell he worked out with a lot during his playing days at East Limestone. He picked it up and ran back.
"I run back, jump back in and this time, I'm on top of the car," Pinque said.
By this time, the car was completely submerged in the pond and to Pinque's recollection, his friends had been trapped inside between 10 to 15 minutes. Pinque used the dumbbell to break open the sunroof and grabbed Ricky out first.
Then Pinque reached for Jacob and by the tip of his fingertips, Pinque was able to grab his friend and pull him out of the car.
"I was barely able to grasp onto his fingers," Pinque said. "By the time I got him out, the ambulance was there. (Jacob) had that death look and he wasn't moving.
"But they administered CPR to him and he began coughing, so thankfully, everything turned out OK."
Green and Jaramillo required hospital treatment, and so did Pinque, who sustained cuts.
Pinque's deed didn't go unnoticed. Pinque was nominated for the Carnegie Medal for heroism, which is awarded by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. Time went by, and one day, upon returning home from football practice, Pinque was informed he won the award.
"It was surreal. I didn't know who nominated me for the award and I forgot about it," Pinque said. "Then I had a bad day at football practice, and to see that, I couldn't believe it."
Pinque was rewarded with $4,000 and most importantly, a $10,000 thousand scholarship award for every year he pursues undergraduate and graduate school studies.
The scholarship money allowed Pinque to get an education and play football at Centre College. Although he doesn't have a major declared, his plan is to major in international studies and Spanish.
"It couldn't turn out better for me," Pinque said. "I want to do a lot of traveling and whatever lies down the road, I'm ready for the experiences that will come my way."

The pizza is a must. Also great burgers and such a friendly group of people. Tv...so if you're staying somewhere without one...you can get your fix here.
It's old, small, and local. If you're looking for fancy, this is not it. Order a double bacon cheeseburger and you won't be disappointed. Comes wrapped in paper if you don't order anything else with it.
This is a spot the locals eat at. If you feel like they are "staring" at you because you're not from there I think the issue is mostly on you. I ate their twice. Great pizza and a really good burger plate. As for it being "dusty" as other reviewers commented, I don't agree. It's a bar, there's no pretense....
Mid-morning on a rainy Saturday, only 2 occupied tables should have been a dead giveaway. We ordered standard fare of eggs and sausage, and eggs and bacon, both accompanied by hash browns and toast, with a side of biscuits and gravy to share. Tasteless millimeter-thin sausage patties (in a town of German food, no less!), tasteless over-done bacon, thin boxed...
I guess if you're a true alcoholic and you don't care what kind of roach infested rat hole you drink in, then this place might look good to you. However, if you have an ounce of dignity, stay out of this dump. One of the worst maintained buildings in Hermann. An eyesore for us Hermann residents.
Bar food, plain and simple. When you NEED a greasy burger, this place cannot be beat!
The burgers hit the spot after a day at the wineries. They make of for anything else that the bar is lacking.
Dirty, dusty dining area.
Poor ventilation/smoky smell.
Limited beer selection.
This place may be a little hole in the wall, but dang do they have GREAT food! Their pizza is very similiar to Imo's out of STL and you can't ever go wrong with their burgers. The other nice thing about this place is you don't have the crowd like you do at the other bars. Every time I go...
Leave your attitude at the door, and enjoy the archetypal "greasy spoon" cafe and tavern in lovely Hermann, Mo. There is no pretense here. This is the opposite of the white linen bistro. Sharp Corner is where the local farmers enjoy breakfast, the local workers enjoy lunch, and everyone enjoys pizza and burgers. Back to lunch, this is still a...
This is a small, locally owned bar in town. While I wouldn't recommend it for a nightly hangout, I can't say enough about their burgers. Perhaps it's because they don't clean the grill daily but who cares? Order a burger and fries and a cold one and your in for a lunchtime treat.
This is absolutely the dirtiest bar in Hermann. Dust everywhere cobwebs in the windows. The floor looks like its been there since the building was built. Ladies restroom the PITS!!! Go across the street to BP gas station. All in all just stay away. I live 15 min. away trust me I know!!

Holiday – Homemade Plate {CCC}
Hello, my friends!
My name is Alison, and my blogging home is Oopsey Daisy.
I absolutely adore Jamielyn, so I am thrilled to be a part of her Crazy Christmas Crafters series.
I am definitely a crazy crafter all year round–but even more so at Christmas time! Tis the season!
Recently, I dressed up a homemade plate for the holidays…
I think Santa would be proud!
I added a little spray paint, a little chevron, and a little ho-ho-ho!
{ Chevron Homemade Plate}
I started with an extra plate I had at home. Nothing too fancy.
I cut a chevron stencil out of contact paper. I have tried several stenciling methods, but I always love contact paper the best!
(This time, I used clear contact paper, so it may be a little difficult to see!)
I am infamous for my "oopsey daisies." Just to be sure my spray paint wouldn't bleed, I used masking tape to tape the edges.
Am I the only one who holds their breath when painting over a stencil?
I gave the plate a couple of coats of red spray paint.
This is my favorite part: Peeling away the contact paper!
Red and white chevron is the new candy cane stripe! :)
I found this "ho ho ho" image (ho_ho_ho_C00654_23067 in the Silhouette library) and cut it out of vinyl on my Silhouette machine. I applied it using transfer tape.
You could also stencil your own words or image on top of the chevron.
Dear Santa, this is where you will find your cookies on Christmas Eve!
Just a few more days until I can display this plate with my Christmas decor!
Jamielyn, thank you so much for having me here! I hope you enjoy a holly jolly crafting season!
I hope you will stop by Oopsey Daisy and say hello!

"We ordered our holiday cards late but we found the perfect card to welcome the new year. Might start a new tradition with New Year cards!"
"The design of this card is great because of the shading towards the bottom, so the lettering definitely stands out. The snowflakes give it a nice frame. I ordered late on a Sunday night and the cards were delivered by Wednesday."
"This card design and layout perfectly fit what I wanted to do this year for our Christmas Card. I'm a repeat customer because I love the quality and great service Tiny Prints offers. Highly recommend."
"This is a great design when you have a beautiful photo to showcase...the design is fun and elegant but it doesn't compete with your picture."
"Our family Christmas card turned out beautiful. Our picture was true to color and very clear. The paper quality was great, sturdy and matte. The colors on back (ours was red) were bright. Very very easy to personalize. Simple design so as not to take away from the photo. Friends say they loved it."

Spy Shots: Porsche working on Boxster Speedster?
The mule captured in these photos is wearing an extensive amount of camouflage around the rear deck and roof, but sources suggest that underneath the disguise, this particular Boxster is wearing a more shapely rear hood, with Speedster-style moldings running from a pair of roll hoops aft of the seats down to the rear bumper. A chopped-down windscreen is also part of the package, while power is tipped to come from the 299hp version of the 3.4-liter six found in the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2. Hopefully, the chop-top Boxster could be getting ready for a debut at the automaker's home-market Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
