Baltimore, 1849. Murders inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe baffle the authorities, so police detective Emmett Fields (Evans) consults Poe (Cusack) himself. Emily Hamilton (Eve), Poe's girlfriend, is abducted and buried alive, and the killer challenges Poe to solve clues left on corpses to find her before the air runs out.
Browse more images »
A thin, bearded John Cusack makes a reasonable Poe, suitably febrile and mercurial – given to outbursts of verbal and physical aggression, though the low-flown dialogue seldom sounds in period and never sounds like even a cracked genius. The low-wattage supporting cast, though, suggest a project that was downgraded during development: busy Luke Evans (The Three Musketeers, Immortals) doesn't hold up the cop/sidekick role, pretty Alice Eve is just a token (fictional) pretty woman to be emperilled and Brendan Gleeson just shows up as the girl's blustering father (the sort of dolt who won't cancel his masked ball just because of a few murders). From the first crashing chords of the disastrously inappropriate rock score to the frankly dumb punchline, this consistently misses the mark – mostly thanks to haphazard scriptwriting which suggests a wikipedia level of Poe scholarship and a failure to grasp the concept of the whodunit.
Thunderingly directed by James McTeigue (V For Vendetta), with swooping camera and period art direction but no flair at all for the Gothic, The Raven keeps evoking other, better essays in the metafictional detective genre, from Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow through From Hell to the Conan Doyle-as-sleuth TV series Murder Rooms but never finds its own identity.
Besides being an author, Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most vicious, merciless critics of his age. He would not have let this get past him without skewering its shortcomings with a barbed quill.

Carafe problem
Best Uses
The carafe would spill easily. Coffee spills. Water spills when putting into the maker. Had to use old carafe from old coffee maker that was not a Kalorik and now we can have no spills. Sad. It seems the spout hangs too low.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Broke the very first time
Cheap Defective Design
Best Uses
We ran water through this coffee maker to clean it out right after opening the box and upon removing the carafe the handle came apart. We put it back together and then ran only 1/2 of a pot of water through the machine again and again, upon removing the carafe, the handle came off and the carafe fell onto the counter and shattered. We called the customer service number and were told that the carafe wasn't covered by the warranty and that they didn't know what happened and that we could have dropped the carafe for all they know. Terrible product and just as bad customer service.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Fast brew, poor heating plate build
Brews Quickly
Easy To Clean
Easy To Use
Best Uses
Daily user. Owned for over 4 years -- perhaps newer iterations received improvements, but here's the lowdown: 1. Brews quick, 2. Hot out of the pot early, 3. With the pot on the heat plate for awhile, coffee is not kept piping hot (evident when adding cream or flavored cream, coffee temperature drops so low you want to microwave it to get it hot again; 4. Does not add any flavor to the coffee! Cleaning takes multiple runs as the water holder is the back of the unit. My burner plate is completely rusted out so now it really doesn't heat the coffee. Great for first 2 years.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Thank you, Canada: Remembering 9/11
Ten years ago, nearly 3,000 innocent people -- citizens from 77 countries around the world -- lost their lives in the worst terrorist attack in American history. As we look back on the events that took place in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, it is important to remember the people we lost and the families they left behind, and to honor the heroic men and women who rushed to the scene as first responders and saved countless lives, even when it meant giving their own.
It is also important, however, to recognize the small mercies and acts of compassion that took place in the days, months and years following the attacks. Even as the world struggled to come to grips with the senseless terror that had manifested itself, Canadians responded with an outpouring of compassion and solidarity -- from the flowers and messages of support left outside the United States Embassy and its Consulates, to airports taking in over 200 planes that were diverted from the U.S. in the wake of the attacks, to the way ordinary Canadians opened their homes to thousands of stranded passengers and flight crews.
Ten years after those horrific events, we remember these acts of compassion with gratitude. The events of 9/11 were designed to spread a message of hatred; by responding with caring and generosity, Canadians showed that such destructive messages will never win out over kindness and compassion.
Thank you, Canada.

The 10 best drag racing movies feature various drag racing scenes. Some are exclusively about the sport, while others merely incorporate racing into their plots.
Consider posting a comment.
You missed the best drag racing movie ever made, "American Nitro".
I believe the movie stated as 'Death Racer' was supposed to be 'Drag Racer' from 1971, filmed at various SoCal drag strips, with Mark Slade, Jeremy Slate, and Deborah Walley. If you like front motored top fuel cars, this one is tops; best scene is a push start at Irwindale filmed head on when the driver hits the start switch and the magneto fires that Hemi up…

Completion of recurrent tasks
If you create a recurrent task with, for instance, every day frequency and you complete it next day after its due date, next time it doesn't appear today but appear tomorrow. That looks wrong and most of check list apps work differently.
For example, I have an every day recurrent task. It's current instance is due 11th. Giving I have missed the deadline (probably just forgot to complete the task in Todoist on 11th) and I close the task on 12th the next instance will appear on 13th not on 12th as expected.
Is that something fixable?
All responses
Hello Roman,
That's the correct behavior, each task will be rescheduled to its next occurrence based on the date you check it off. That said, if you miss a task for one day, please complete it only after you complete today's instance.
Alternatively, you could also right-click on it and choose "today", then check it off for today.

He's done that the last few years.

So if you win, closed practices are good, but if you are 7-5, then closed practices are bad.
I agree with this statement. Just don't necessarily agree that JT having closed practices has the impact some may feel it does in leading to that 7-5 record. FAr more important factors are at play.
If you keep winning the league and going to the Rose Bowl and/or BCS bowls then a lot of what you do is good. Seems pretty simple to me.[/QUOTE]
Yup, cheating works.

"If we zip up and close these suits, no one will know that we're really bears!"
I wholeheartedly disagree friend Poops. I believe what 82BigDaddy posits is a valid intangible one becomes aware of with experience of observing those things that you believe flow from visible causation and see correlation by holding up to the light. I believeTedford's recent downward lack of success, in small part, (as we apparently share definition of) is directly reflective of the closed practices and the lack of hoped for success. His coach drills are repetitive and too general.....without specific purpose.....

Look for both "down the line screen" and halfback dive plays in the upcoming season.
Did he get Uncle Phil's okay on this? Because if he didn't...could be trouble.
Well Harbaugh began closing practices at Stanford, I believe Kiffin has closed / limited access to practices, and now Kelly.
Doesn't seem like any of those 3 coaches have lost control of their team or distanced themselves from their fan bases in a negative way as a result of changing practice access policies.
I think its good JT has closed practices.
I wouldnt want the secret to our eventual fake field goal to get out. He's been waitin 10 years for just the right time to unleash it...

How to Change Tumblr Post Background Color
Every single Tumblr theme has a different inner html structure, so there's no single way to change your post background colors. However, if you leave your theme in the comments, we will be able to help you out with this. You must take into account the follwoing guidelines when changing your Tumblr posts html background colors;
Change Tumblr Post Background Color.
- You must find out what div tags are wrapping your posts, doesnt matter what type they are. The ID is the key to changing the color
- Many times, the posts have corners, footers and headers that are shaped with images, so changing the color might not be enough though
- Most tumblr themes have a separate .css file where it labels all these parameters, also defining the posts background color
Just leave your comment if you want us to help you with your theme.

Git, a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, is now at version 126.96.36.199.
According to the developer, Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It's considered similar to the SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.
As releases go, Git 126.96.36.199 is quite a large one, with a huge list of changes and improvements.
Highlights of Git 184.108.40.206:
• The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the exclude mechanism does;
• When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, the application gave a wrong error message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does not exist there" and moving on;
• After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms;
• A child process that was killed by a signal (e.g. SIGINT) was reported in an inconsistent way depending on how the process was spawned by us, with or without a shell in between;
• When "git clone --separate-git-dir=$over_there" is interrupted, it failed to remove the real location of the $GIT_DIR it created. This was most visible when interrupting a submodule update;
• When a line to be wrapped has a solid run of non-space characters whose length exactly is the wrap width, "git shortlog -w" failed to add a newline after such a line.
The following public repositories all have a copy of the v18.104.22.168 tag and the main branch that the tag points at:
url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
