It takes a lot to earn the moniker "World's Worst Criminal" these days, but 18-year-old Keithan Manuel appears to be the new title holder.
According to KTVT-TV, Manuel walked into a Wilmer, Texas police station with a white towel over his hands and told the officer at the dispatch window to "give him all her money."
The dispatcher, Patricia Hughey, just laughed it off. Because, honestly, who would try to rob a police station?
Perhaps sensing that he hadn't thought his plan all the way through, Manuel quickly changed his story and tried to play his demands for money off by saying he was asking about a warrant instead.
"He said he'd like to check on a warrant," said Police Chief Victor Kemp. "He gave a different name and after a few moments of maybe playing it off he said 'you do know I have a gun.' At that point he seemed to be very serious."
Also See: You Won't Believe These Photos
That's when the Hughey realized that Manuel wasn't joking and notified other officers that there was a situation, and they took Manuel down at gunpoint with no shots fired.
When asked about the incident, Manuel tried to play it off like telling someone you have a gun and demanding their money is a hilarious joke.

According to Manuel, "I didn't say nothing like that. I swear to God, I didn't say nothing like that. That's why they didn't find no guns on me. Man, I play like that all the time. I didn't think she would take it seriously."
Police Chief Kemp added, "This young man wasn't using his head for sure," he said. "You hear of those World's Dumbest Criminals every once in a while, but you never think it's going to happen in your city."

Wolters Kluwer Health , a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that it has partnered with Cerner Corporation to develop a dynamic clinical documentation solution. The solution will leverage evidence-based ProVation ® Clinic Note content and clinical decision support which, when embedded with Cerner Millennium ® , will guide physician documentation and capture critical information at the point of care. This new agreement aims to create a state-of-the-art physician documentation solution. Specifically, as physicians review results, place orders and manage the problem list within Millennium, the solution will capture the necessary portions of documentation for the care being provided, with only relevant sections of the document rendering to physicians based on their role, the venue in which they are providing care, and the condition for which they are treating the patient. "As physicians have transitioned from paper to the usage of Electronic Medical Records, the patient's story has been lost. Our agreement with Wolters Kluwer Health will allow us to preserve the narrative while structuring key aspects of the note that then can be leveraged for clinical decision support to record and review more relevant information at the point of care," said Brian Lancaster, Vice President, Physician Strategy, Cerner. "This will allow physicians to improve the quality of care they are providing while maintaining the highest levels of productivity." ProVation Clinic Note provides custom content specifically designed for EMR vendors. When embedded in an EMR system, it allows clinicians to quickly and easily create robust, evidence-based, structured physician documentation for patient encounters. Offering thousands of topics covering more than 30 specialties, ProVation Clinic Note delivers content across multiple patient settings, including ambulatory, inpatient and the emergency department. "Cerner shares our vision of finding the most efficient and clinician-friendly ways to deliver the comprehensive information and intuitive tools physicians need to streamline clinical processes and improve overall quality and compliance," said Mike Haldane, Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Documentation, Wolters Kluwer Health, Clinical Solutions. "This dynamic documentation solution represents a convergence of two health IT industry leaders and the natural progression of our ProVation software from procedure documentation to advanced, intuitive clinical decision support that will drive safer, better and more cost-effective care."

My wife and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in December. Couple that with her 50th birthday 12 days before our anniversary and it calls for something special. We live in South Jersey - 10 minutes outside Philly. We've been just about everywhere we want to go there...nothing even remotely excites me in Atlantic City. So I'm thinking NYC for a dinner and a show possibly.
Problem is...I'm sure there are a million places I don't know about. Also - my wife is not the most adventurous eater. I am initially thinking Le Benardin as she is a big seafood lover and their menu is not intimidating at all.
So fire away - and thanks in advance for suggestions.

The majority of faculty in the United States do not have tenure. They are either part-time adjuncts or non-tenure-track instructors.
And that is a shame, because tenure is vital to provide a core foundation for freedom on our campuses, and it's necessary for Florida's colleges and universities to attract the best faculty in the world.
Last Sunday in Perspective, William McKeen, the journalism department chair at the University of Florida, criticized the principle of tenure, claiming that achieving it has become an all-consuming passion among faculty members and that professors, once they are tenured, are no longer beholden to anyone.
He is wrong, based on my experience at the University of South Florida as president of the United Faculty of Florida chapter there. First, there certainly are limits to tenure protections. Just ask the 21 tenured professors at Florida State University who received layoff notices last year.
Tenure is a mechanism to protect due process, not a job guarantee. But more important, without that due process for a critical mass of faculty, Florida's colleges and universities cannot serve the public interest.
Without a system of tenure, Florida's colleges and universities would not be able to attract the scientists and engineers who make discoveries about the universe and invent new devices, or the criminologists, epidemiologists, and anthropologists who help local governments with tough, real-world problems.
And without tenure's protections, professors are less likely to stand up for what needs to be said. It was a tenured economist at Iowa State University (future Nobel Prize winner Ted Schultz) who fought a dairy industry attempt in 1943 to suppress research on the value of margarine in wartime. With few exceptions, only tenured faculty stood up publicly to criticize my administration the last time there was a substantial academic freedom controversy on campus — the clumsy efforts of new university trustees to direct the firing of Sami Al-Arian long before he was arrested or pleaded guilty to immigration charges.
And it was a grievance by a tenured faculty member that struck down illegal restrictions on student Internet use at USF a few years ago, where a poorly worded procedure would have forbidden all use of USF's networks for organizing any religious or political events, including student organizations of all political and religious persuasions.
I wish the main problem facing Florida's public colleges and universities were an occasional tenured colleague who doesn't pull his or her weight. But that's not the biggest problem at USF or other public colleges and universities. The biggest threat to higher education in Florida is a combination of underfunding and chaos.
It's not just colleges and universities that are underfunded. Funding for elementary and secondary schools has dropped significantly since the housing market began collapsing in Florida. Without revenue to replace federal stimulus dollars, Florida's school districts will lay off thousands of teachers in the next 18 months. Massive teacher layoffs will harm the college readiness of hundreds of thousands of Florida high school students.
Florida's university student leaders agree that the main problem today is funding: Last year, student leaders told legislators that they supported increased tuition, not because they wanted to pay more but because they feared what would happen to Florida's universities without a way to stabilize funding.
And the main problems for students? When I talk with my students at USF, they sometimes complain about teachers, but they usually mention other concerns: the balance between school and work, the last accounting or calculus problem set, their health and the health of their families, the cost of textbooks, the debt they face on graduation, and the availability of required courses.
These are the problems of students today in Florida's colleges and universities. They are not William McKeen's imagined world of a thousand Amy Bishops, the University of Alabama at Huntsville professor who was denied tenure and is accused of opening fire at a faculty meeting. Attacks on tenure don't address the real needs of students and faculty at USF, Hillsborough Community College or the other colleges and universities around the state.
Sherman Dorn is the president of the United Faculty of Florida chapter at the University of South Florida and a historian of education.

Move over SuBo – it's "NuBo's" time to shine.
After Susan Boyle was launched into superstardom in 2009 following her "Britain's Got Talent" audition in Glasgow, Scotland — a new star appears to have been born during this season's stop in the same city.
Janey Cutler, an 81-year-old great-grandmother, wowed the judges and the audience with her performance of Edith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien (No Regrets)" – and has become the latest "Talent" viral video sensation in the process.
"I like singing and my friends said, 'Janey, go for it!' Better late than never," she smiled in a clip from her audition posted online.
The pint-sized powerhouse – who had to be escorted onto the stage by one of the show's hosts — surprised the "Britain's Got Talent" judges with her booming voice, leading to a standing ovation from the thousands in attendance – and the members of the judges' table.
"I did not expect you to have a set of lungs on you like that," judge Amanda Holden beamed. "You're so tiny and you have such a massive voice. It was spectacular."
Simon Cowell asked Janey if her performance was the moment of a lifetime.
"How many years have you waited to do that?" he asked the mother of seven/grandmother of 13/great-grandmother of four.
"I'm just thankful I am here tonight," she humble smiled after a pause.
As for the comparisons to Susan Boyle, and her newfound moniker of "NuBo" – aka, the New Boyle – Janey said she'd rather stand on her own.
"I'm on my own and that's it," she said during an interview on CBS' "The Early Show" on Monday. "I don't compare myself to anyone."

Telematics Update predicted that 2014 would be the year that sees automakers formalize their relationships across the insurance telematics industry.
There has been much debate over the nature that these automaker relationships will take, with many insurance carriers concerned about automakers "forming the first barrier to the data and having the first access to the clients walking into a showroom", stated
To analyze how automakers will form relationships across the US insurance market, including laying out how already existing members of the community can benefit from this move, experts from
Progressive said about the conference: "Great opportunity to see all the major players in the telematics insurance space at one time".

A full-time nurse practitioner is now working at Meeting Street Elementary @Brentwood in North Charleston through a clinic partnership with MUSC Children's Health, according to a news release.
The nurse practitioner will be able to diagnose conditions, order X-rays and lab work, and write prescriptions. There will also be a pediatrician on campus once a week to see patients, the news release said.
"We are so excited to partner with MUSC to bring these resources to our community and know that they will provide top notch medical care for our students," school Principal Sarah Campbell said in the news release. "Having nurses and doctors in our building will help us fulfill our mission of having true wrap-around services for our students."
MUSC President Dr. David Cole said the clinic is designed to keep students in school and their parents at work.
"I'd say there's a critical need for innovation and doing things differently as we move forward, because we have what is often a broken system of health care," Cole said in the news release. "Sometimes it's in the communities that we want to serve the most that we do the poorest job."
This is the first full-time school clinic that MUSC Children's Health has created. However, physicians are already using telehealth in some schools. Using technology such as video cameras and diagnostic equipment, school nurses can communicate with specialists at MUSC Health to help diagnose and treat patients in more than a dozen schools in the Charleston area and 40 across the state, the news release said.

BUENOS AIRES (Jul. 12)
No withdrawals of funds could be made today from most of the credit cooperatives which are a major factor in Jewish commercial life here, as a result of the order issued last weekend by the newly established government of President Ongania empowering the Argentine Central Bank, highest financial authority, to exercise control over all credit cooperatives and, in certain circumstances, even to close them.
The correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency sought to cash personal checks in at least three cooperatives but was told by the cashiers that "until further orders" no payments would be made. Instructions to this effect, they said, were issued by the Central Bank. This will affect many small Jewish business enterprises which depend largely on the Jewish-established credit cooperatives. These cooperatives are also providing financial support for the Jewish school system in Argentina which may suffer if the activities of the cooperatives are paralyzed.
(In Washington, Senator J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said today that the fact that the Argentine Central Bank had taken control of the credit cooperatives was "a major blow to the development of a middle-class in Argentina and eventually to a democratic system." The senator said that "in view of this development" the U.S. Government should "go very slowly in extending financial assistance to this new dictatorship, " He did not mention that many of these cooperatives had originally been established by Jewish farmers in Argentina some 70 years ago and that they constitute the financial basis for Jewish middle class business concerns.)
Patricio Errecalte Pueriedon, secretary of the anti-Semitic nationalist Tacuara movement, which was banned under the prior Illia Government, was received yesterday by the new regime's Interior Minister, Enrique Martinez Paz. After the meeting, the extremist leader declared that "the national revolution has begun founded on the debris of the liberal system" and declared that this organization was firmly supporting the new Government's decision to ban all political parties. The Tacuara group, he said, supports without reserve the patriotic movement presided over by Gen. Ongania."

A.A. Except that Newt wound up hanging himself with his own rope
Nope, like Clinton, Newt wound up hanging himself with his own penis.
A.A. You forget that he had to function in a Republican Congress. The country elected Congress. That's where the mood was.
Politics is the art of the possible.
Leadership (i.e., political genius) is creating the possible.
He worked with what he had. It's why a Democrat was even elected, because he was pretty center.
George H. W. Bush lost to Clinton because of the "vision thing" -- that, but primarily it was the goofy-ass Ross Perot (who did infact have a vision, but of hell) -- who threw the election to Clinton by drawing off 19% of the vote, almost all of it from Bush.
As a moral manClinton has always struck me as very ordinary -- venal, vain, lecherous, ambitious -- like most of us.
A.A. I never cared about his morals. His sex life is his business unless it's illegal, which it wasn't. The country was doing well, that's all I cared about.
A.A. How much courage would it take you to go to work every day with an independent prosecutor investigating you, and every newspaper and every talk radio airwave in the country beating you to death over fabricated charges? He was being accused of everything up to and including drug dealing and murder.
I heard Trent Lott on Larry King Live singing Clinton's praises.
Praise from a racist. Great PR. Like Newt's sweet nothings to Hillary.
Clinton had his eyes on the prize and none of that crap existed for him. Bush is just the opposite. He needs everybody to agree with him.
Clinton did nothing to garner support for health care reform -- he should have moved mountains if necessary.
A.A. He did.
He gave the job to Hillary and she came up with a plan, don't you remember?
It was rejected by the populace. I don't even remember the plan now,
but I'll bet if it was put forth now it would be seen in a different light. Of course, it's impossible now since we can't pay for it anymore.
He would abandon his appointees and supporters at the first hintof opposition, among them: Joycelyn Elders his Surgeon General and Lani Guinier, nominated for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.
A.A. I have no comment on that. I vaguely remember Elders recommending that masturbation be taught as a sexual alternative to kids to keep STD's down. It's not a bad idea, just an idea ahead of its time. We're still working off of the masturbation is evil thing. I don't remember what happened with Guinier. I don't know what you would have wanted him to do.
What Bust does, stand behind his people.
Overall, his administration was effective.
Well, a hell of a lot better than Bush's.
I opposed Clinton's support for NAFTA AND GATT.
A.A. All the former presidents supported it, Carter, Bush, Ford. Maybe you
have a gift for international trade.
I have a gift for not giving away the shop.
I think his dismantling ofthe welfare system in this country was morally bankrupt,
A.A. I don't agree. Welfare is morally bankrupt if it becomes generational.
his failure to actto stop the genocide in Rwanda was criminal.
A.A. I remember the U.S. was being castigated as the world's policeman. Somalia was a disaster. He probably could have done more in Rwanda. The good old days when we acted like a superpower, either defending or being expected to defend those in need.
Good Jesuit thinking there, Andy.
A.A. Your standards are very high. Effectively running the government and transforming a budget deficit into a surplus merits a rotten egg from you.

SANTA CRUZ -- The Westside Safeway celebrated Earth Day on Thursday by showcasing its new eco-friendly equipment, including two "Bloom Boxes," alternative fuel cells using a breakthrough technology.
"We've come a long way to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our sustainability," said Teena Massingill, director of corporate public affairs for Safeway. "This is a day worthwhile to celebrate."
Mayor Mike Rotkin visited the store's new installations and saluted the company's efforts.
"I am very proud to be the mayor of a town that has this store," Rotkin said. "This doesn't happen just because the city mandates it. ... The people at the top of this organization made this commitment."
The 60,000-square-foot market officially opened Nov. 13, with the aim of becoming a grocery store powered by 100 percent renewable energy. Six months after the grand opening, the Mission Street store is the company's only market equipped with solar panels on its roof, nitrogen-refrigerated trailers and two alternative-fuel cells using a new technology recently launched by Sunnyvale-based Bloom Energy.
Seen as an exciting prospect for the future of renewable energy, Bloom Boxes already seduced Google, which purchased one of the cells to supply power on its Mountain View campus in June 2008.
The sand-based fuel cells mix methane, hydrogen or natural gas with the oxygen in the air to produce electricity through an electrochemical process, said Alan Russo, director of sales operations at Bloom Energy. Slightly smaller than cargo containers, each 100-kilowatt unit produces a fraction of the emissions of a typical power plant, Russo said.
"It really took a lot of faith from Safeway to make that vision come true," he said.
In addition to the fuel cells, 896 solar panels will provide renewable energy to the store. George Waidelich, Safeway energy operations vice president, expects the fuel cells to provide 60 to 70 percent of the store's electricity while solar panels should bring 30 to 35 percent of the power needed.
Upgrading its transportation system, the grocery company bought new trailers that are refrigerated through a nitrogen-driven system, instead of diesel. While a diesel-refrigerated trailer emits 25 to 30 tons of carbon each year, the alternative cooling system reduce those emissions to none, said Tom Roller, EcoFridge chief executive officer.
"They are really committed, they go beyond everything I've seen so far," said Roller, who negotiated a deal with Safeway to replace a large part of their trailer fleet.
The building is also the first in Safeway's 272-store Northern California division to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design requirements, said Joe Pettus, Safeway fuel and energy department senior vice president.
"This is the only grocery store in the U.S. that has solar panels, fuel cells and a LEED certified building," Pettus said. "This is unique to Santa Cruz."
Students from environmental-focused Natural Bridges High School were given a tour of the store Thursday, along with tips to shop in a greener way, such as buying recycled tissues, avoiding disposable razor blades or consuming local organic food to reduce transportation-related pollution.
"When you think of places like Safeway, you think of big corporations," said 16-year-old Cady St-Clair. "But the fact that they do that is kind of surprising."

Disclaimer: "Had you known him long?" "Who?"
(An: This is just my own take on Valentine's past (AKA an explanation of why he was so down on himself in my other fic, "With Whom to Dance") and an extrapolation on the co-dreaming touched on in the film... oh, by the way, I realized after the fact that I named Val's girlfriend after the girl from Labyrinth, but that was a coincidence, I assure you.)
He didn't love her, not really. He liked to run his fingers through her hair, yes, he liked kissing her (especially when she did that thing with the tongue), yes, but did she bore him? Very yes. Just like everyone else. And he had honestly thought she knew this as well. Obviously, he couldn't bore her—he was Valentine, after all—but he figured he had made it quite clear that he was not taking this relationship at all seriously.
A jar of face cream smashed on the wall three inches from his head.
Apparently not.
At least Sarah's stage of throwing things appeared to be over. She was kneeling now, and shaking, and crying, and going on about all sorts of things that made him feel horrible.
It was just a kiss! Valentine thought, although he wasn't quite stupid enough to say it out loud. (Valentines had a crazy amount of business sense, but not much when it came to people. But it wasn't a good idea to further enrage Sarah when she still had an arsenal of makeup at her disposal.)
"You're an awful, awful man," said Sarah, wiping her eyes and looking up at him. The pain in her eyes wrenched at his heart, but still not enough to make him feel bad. It was only a kiss, his stubborn mind repeated. Nothing to get so upset over.
Valentine shrugged a little, still backed up against the wall, just in case her fury blazed up again. "I am who I am," he replied. "I'm Valentine."
Her lips twitched. "Yes, and that's exactly the problem, isn't it?" She sniffled, and that wrenched at his heart a little more. He needed to get out of here, or he'd start feeling—ugh—guilty. There was no point in feeling bad about things; one had to accept what was and move on, hopefully forgetting about what had happened as you did.
Sarah hugged herself. She was shaking again. "It wouldn't be so bad," she mumbled, "if you'd just apologize…" She looked up at him again and held his gaze with her own. Oh, dear. He really had to leave. "But you won't, will you?" She affected his lilt, only her voice was far more bitter than he could ever manage: "Valentines never apologize."
Ouch. That was uncalled for, even though it was true. Wounded, he mumbled, "It was just a kiss."
Sarah stared at him for a moment, as though she absolutely couldn't believe he'd said that, and then she laughed. "Just a kiss, was it? Just a kiss, when we've been dating for over a year? Just a kiss, when you hardly ever kiss me?" Her voice cracked a little on that last word.
"Well, when you put it that way…" His voice was light, nervous, and that seemed to offend her.
"Get out," she said, standing up. "Get out. Go back to that damn flat of yours, and don't bother coming back."
"But—my things—"
Sarah put her hands on her hips. "That's the way it'll always be with you, won't it, Valentine? You, you, you. What will you get out of it? What profit's there to be made? You make it seems like there's so much more to you, but there's not." She swiped the back of her hand across her face; she was crying again. "Just go. I'll bring your stuff when I can look you in the eye again." She pointed at the door.
There was no arguing with those tears. He hated when girls cried. It always seemed so low of them. Valentine sighed and walked away.
Usually, sitting on his bed in his tower made him feel like thinking his own thoughts—like writing. But now all he could think about was the encounter with Sarah. This was not normal. Girls were girls, and feelings were feelings, and he'd never gotten the one confused with the other. So he knew he wasn't thinking like this because of… sentimentality.
It wasn't his stuff, either. Stuff was stuff. He probably wasn't going to get it back, so there was nothing to do but wonder how he was going to replace it. It wasn't that big of a deal, anyway. Out of sight, out of mind was always a strategy that worked for him.
So then… what? Was he honestly still feeling bad because of those tears of hers? He'd made girls cry before—admittedly, they hadn't been girls he knew so well, but still. It wasn't anything new.
No, it wasn't the tears. It was what she had said. "You're an awful, awful man." Was that true? Were Valentines awful? They were wonderful, of course, but what was wonderful wasn't always good.
Well. Who said he wanted to be good, anyway? Good was boring, and Valentines were anything but. Valentines were fascinating. Valentines were marvelous. Valentines were… were... were hated by their mothers.
Hadn't his mum said the same thing when he moved out? "You'll never make anything of yourself, you know, lad, dreaming the way you do. Your father would be ashamed of you." She hadn't called him that world—awful—but the disgust in her eyes had certainly implied it. And what right had she, anyway? She hadn't even been his real mum. His birth mother had died years ago.
Valentine rolled over on his stomach and propped his head on his arms. This was not at all like him. Valentines did not brood. Valentines moved on. "Onwards and upwards," said Valentine, nodding. So why was he still thinking about it?
Valentine looked at his dresser, and then he got a grand idea. He would call Bing. Bing always made him feel better.
Bing was certainly a man after Valentine's own heart. "So you broke up with Sarah? Eh, she was a drag anyway."
"It wasn't exactly a breakup. Things were broken, though."
"Not you, I'd hope." There was a loud thump and a curse from the other end of the line as Bing fudged up his juggling. "So what was her problem?"
"I may have kissed another girl, and she may have caught me," Valentine mumbled. "You know, nothing big."
Bing whistled. "That is something most girls frown upon, mate. Why'd you do it?"
Why? Valentine had never stopped to consider a why. Whys required looking back, and that was not something Valentine was fond of doing. The girl—he hadn't bothered to catch her name—had been pretty and interested; it seemed like a fun way to waste a little time. He hadn't meant to hurt anyone. He was just bored, and when he was bored, it got him into trouble. "Because she was there, I guess."
There was a long pause from the other side of the line. Bing was thinking. Oh, dear. When thinking didn't get Bing into a mess, it made him dreadfully uninteresting. "Well… that was mean," said Bing. "Did you at least apologize?"
Valentine had to stare at the phone for a moment. He thought Bing knew better than to ask such a silly question. Bing, after all, knew him better than most people. But, he supposed, Bing was just an ordinary person, not like himself, and therefore he could be just as stupid as everyone else sometimes. "Of course I didn't!"
There was another pause. "I like Sarah," said Bing quietly. "I thought you did too."
Valentine blinked, absolutely flabbergasted. Of course he liked Sarah. He liked Sarah just fine (although maybe not as much anymore now that she had thrown things at him). But liking wasn't enough to keep him interested—very little was, unless it involved money or juggling.
Bing seemed to sense his surprise, and he sighed. "So what are you guys going to do?"
"Well, we've already broken up, so-"
"About the business, you nitwit." Now Bing sounded a bit more normal. Like Valentine, he shared a love of all things commercial. "I thought we were going to run it together, but if Sarah's not speaking to you..."
Valentine, as usual, hadn't thought that far ahead, and, as usual, he didn't let that bother him. "You guys can still take over. I'll find my own work for now, and when Sarah cools off, I'll join you."
"Where will you work?"
Valentine huffed. Why was everyone so concerned with the future and the past? The now was all that mattered; the past couldn't be changed, and, if one were a talented Valentine and knew how to improvise, the future would fall into place, like near the end of a jigsaw. Yes, he had only a Liberal Arts degree to his name, but he would figure something out. The bookshop the three of them had wanted to buy had been a nice idea, but apparently it wasn't the right fit for him now.
"Onwards and upwards, mate," Valentine replied.
Now it was Bing's turn to huff. He recognized Valentine's trademark sendoff and knew nothing would make him extend the conversation. "All right, bye. Take care of yourself."
Valentine hung up, shaking his head at the silliness of that statement. Who else was there to take care of?
When Valentine woke up in the maskworld (as he thought of it), he wasn't the least bit confused by his new attire or dismayed that he couldn't seem to get the mask off. No more constant queries of "What were you thinking, Valentine?"—it was right there, written all over his face, and if the other person was too dim to figure it out, well, that was their problem.
Valentine was very good at adapting to new situations; after a few days in the maskworld, he forgot there was any other life at all. He had even found someone who reminded him very much of Bing—or, at least, the man would have if Valentine had any recollections of Bing.
All in all, a very good life. And he certainly didn't want to do anything to mess it up. He was a very important man here, after all.
And then he saw the girl. He couldn't help but be dreadfully curious about how she had gotten her mask off. He had tried—Valentines were handsome, and he rather missed the sight of his face—but instead he ended up with his hands full of duplicate masks, all babbling at him about the best way to con his neighbors out of their pocket money or new juggling tricks. Much too weird. The world only needed one Valentine, after all.
But when he saw her strut down the street with her nose in the air and her arms crossed, her sneer suggesting she owned the place and her black eyes flashing, his first instinct was to ask her how she'd managed it. Valentines should know everything, after all—or at least where to find out.
As he got closer, he realized she had to be from the Dark Lands. He'd never been, but he'd seen a picture of the Queen of Shadows, and this girl had hair just like hers... although the queen at least had a normal face.
He didn't approach her directly; the Dark Lands were quite dodgy. Best to be cautious, see if she sent shadows first and asked questions later. But she still spotted him while he was several feet away and whirled on him. "Where is the palace?"
Ooh, she was sharpish. Almost a girl after his own heart—except she was too scary. Those black eyes and that shifty face—ooh! Like a scary story. "It's, uh, that way," said Valentine, pointing. He was quite eager to be rid of her company now that he had it. "Giant shiny paperweight. You can't miss it."
"I won't." She linked arms with him. "You'll be taking me there."
Oh, boy. This was definitely a bad deal. Her grip on his arm was iron-tight, and her smile dared him to protest. "Okay, good idea," he said, trying to sound bright. From the way her sneer lengthened, he knew it hadn't worked. He led her down the high street as quickly as possible, avoiding meeting her creepy eyes. They were like proper eyes, only shinier… and somehow emptier. She was making him think too much—wasn't that why he had cheated on Sarah?
…who was Sarah?
Valentine shook himself. "Onwards and upwards," he muttered, trying to dislodge the strange thought. Thank goodness the palace wasn't too far from here.
It wasn't turning out to be such a good dream after all. Here he was with all of the things he could ever want in life: jewels, a hat, fish to bathe in... and all he could think about was Helena and his tower. He wanted his tower even more than usual. What was the point of having all this pretty stuff if he didn't have a tower to put it in? So frivolous. That didn't mean he was going to apologize or anything like that, but he still missed it.
And Helena... damn every thought he had of her. Why did she stick in his mind so? He had no memories of his parents beyond a vague feeling of betrayal, and the only other thing of a girl he could remember was a name—Sarah, or maybe Sandy... something with an S, anyway.
So why did he remember Helena? He remembered her face, and her name, and the way her face was shifty and disgusting and still somehow quite lovely. What was the good of betraying somebody if you couldn't forget them afterward? If you didn't forget, it left you with all those disgusting guilty feelings, and it turned all your pretty things to ash that blew away in the wind.
That girl! Oh, she made him feel so… she made him feel, and wasn't that bad enough? He was not supposed to second-guess his actions because he was not supposed to remember them afterwards. Valentines did not work like that. Valentines charmed and juggled and made money, but they did not feel—at least, not anything that lasted for more than a moment or two. And especially nothing as irritating as guilt.
After all, he had no coping strategies for guilt. When he was lonely, there was always a willing girl. When he was sad, there was always money to be made. But guilt…
Well… maybe he'd go and see her. Just a quick visit. He was a clever boy: surely he'd find a way into the dark palace without anyone noticing!
When he woke up, he was vaguely aware that he'd changed. It was an odd way to feel: he'd only been asleep, after all, and, as he was already perfect, there was nothing that needed changing. But he felt like he'd gone to bed with socks on and woken up with galoshes—something weird like that.
Half-awake, he stumbled over to the mirror and took a good look at himself. He half-expected to see a mask—but that was just in his dream. Even Valentines didn't have dreams that turned out to be true. Letting out a deep breath, he studied himself in the mirror. Nope. Nothing had changed. He was still as perfect as ever—and yet he couldn't shake that feeling of difference.
He remembered, suddenly, that he was no longer welcome at Sarah's house, which meant that he would no longer be welcome at their business establishment. A sudden pang of loss struck him—which made absolutely no sense, as Valentines never regretted. Valentines never had anything to regret!
Shaking his head at his own foolishness, Valentine got dressed and decided to go for a walk. Perhaps an idea would strike him—that was what he had always done during his brief stint in college, when the drudgery of daily exercises and a schedule that had to be kept chipped his inspiration down to nothing.
Someone had taped a poster to his door, a poster for a circus. Valentine looked at it for a moment before tearing it off the door. He didn't want a destination, but it couldn't hurt to stop over, could it…?
(So… ending might be a little abrupt, but there's nowhere I could go that I haven't already.)

Providing a balance of personal interest stories alongside incisive analysis, the archive offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life as it was experienced over the past 145 years.
China: From Empire to Republic: Missionary, Sinology, and Literary Periodicals is a collection of 17 English-language periodicals published in or about China from 1817 until 1949 when the Peoples Republic of China was founded. The collection provides a unique, firsthand account of the cultural interactions and conflicts that gave rise to todays modern China.

It is said that when we die we return back to dust from which we came. This is where the story begins. Sir Jacob Edwards was a King and the most evil man you would ever meet in your life. He loved to hear his prisoners bones snap into as they whaled and screamed in agony in his dungeon of horrors.
As the saying goes what goes around, comes around. That is exactly what happened to Sir Jacob Edwards. After forty years of snapping prisoners' bones into, one of the prisoners broke out of his cell and was hiding in a dark corner anticipating the arrival of Sir Jacob Edwards at his cell.

Ever wanted the opportunity to choose a green car when booking a daily rental? Or wanted to deal with a company offering the same green type of vehicles you have or want to see in your driveway? Los Angeles MPG Rent-a-Car decided to cover this niche market.
MPG Rent-a-Car says it is committed to changing the way that customers rent cars by taking a boutique-oriented, green approach to automotive rentals. The company has also made a serious commitment to environmental issues as the only fully sustainability centered rental car company in Los Angeles.
The vehicles chosen by MPG Car Rental for its fleet have recently been validated by Interbrand in their Best Global Green Brands rankings.
Interbrand recently ranked various large companies on a scale that merges a car brand's image with the brand's actual level of sustainability. Jez Frampton, Interbrand's Global CEO, mentioned that "it's not just what they do, it's how they're perceived to be doing as well."
Some of the best known and most popular imported car manufacturers were graded very high on the list; Toyota was firmly at number 1, with Honda and Volkswagen following closely behind at number 3 and number 4, respectively.
In the Interbrand ranking, Toyota was lauded for its development of the Prius and for having near zero landfill status.
MPG Car Rental, dubbing itself an all-green car rental company, is making sure to offer the eco-friendly brands mentioned in the report. MPG Car Rental also explores various type of green vehicles by constantly updating its fleet. The company offers cars with a broad spectrum of capabilities suitable for any renter's needs; large or small, for city or long trips.
The MPG fleet includes vehicles mentioned in Interbrand's list, from Toyota (Prius, Prius Plug-In, Highlander Hybrid) and Lexus (RX, CT), to Honda (Insight), Volkswagen (Jetta), and many more. All of these brands ranked on the Best Global Green Brand list.
A recently-added electric car rental, the Chevy Volt, is making waves with green-minded renters as well, according to MPG Car Rental.

BOULDER, Colo. -- On the road during Senior Day against a team that has apparently received a spark of positive energy stemming from the midseason firing of its head coach, the deck was stacked against Kansas State before it arrived in Boulder for Saturday's game, but as their 44-36 loss unfolded, the Wildcats failed to help their own cause.
The Buffaloes used their final home game as a member of the Big 12 Conference to take a parting shot by hanging a large number on the scoreboard and filling up the boxscore with plenty of offensive yardage.
There was more still. The recently fired Dan Hawkins appeared on the field prior to kickoff and stood at the side of his son, starting quarterback Cody Hawkins. As Senior Day ceremonies unfolded, each player introduced sprinted over to the former head coach and greeted him with a whisper and a drawn-out embrace.
The trail of intensity carried right on through the final whistle.
"How 'bout them Buffaloes?" CU interim head coach Brian Cabral yelled upon meeting the media after the win. In retrospect, better team on paper or not, K-State stood little chance. It was up against supercharged opponent, after all.
"There are a lot of fans that haven't really been too fond of my family over the past few years," Cody Hawkins said. "Today, it was good to see we have the support of all those fans who came out here and supported us."
The emotion fluttering around Folsom Field on Saturday afternoon began to manifest itself in 27 unanswered points for Colorado. With each score, K-State, which led 14-3 early on, began to look more and more defeated. The spirit-crushing blows started early and we're almost non-stop.
A usually reliable Daniel Thomas coughed the ball up on his own side of the 50-yard line, Colorado routinely gashed the Wildcat defense for chunk plays and the K-State offense struggled to find a rhythm until quarterback Carson Coffman, who came off the bench to rack up 270 passing yards and three total touchdowns, found a groove late in the contest. By then, however, the damage was too much to overcome.
"They got up on us pretty big," Coffman said. "We tried to come back at the end, but we just couldn't do it. I'm going to have to watch the film, but I think there are things we could have done better."
The defensive effort was much less impressive than the one put on display by the dual-quarterback offense. The Buffaloes shredded the K-State for 476 total offensive yards on Saturday, 251 of which came on the ground and Hawkins tossed for three scores. Then, there the fact that CU tailback Rodney Stewart set a career high in rushing yards with 195 rushing yards.
No, Saturday wasn't exactly bullet-point material for defensive coordinator Chris Cosh's resume.
"You have to play well on both sides," said K-State coach Bill Snyder, whose allowed its opponent to convert 9 of 14 third-down conversions. "We certainly didn't do that and we couldn't stop them."
Meanwhile, seemingly everything, including gadget plays, clicked for the home squad. On the second snap following Thomas' second-quarter fumble, Hawkins tossed a lateral to Stewart, who found a wide-open Toney Clemons in the end zone. The junior tailback's first career pass attempt covered 23 yards and staked the Buffaloes to their first lead of the game. It was a position they would never relinquish.
Fans in the Folsom Field stands, which slowly filled up throughout the opening half, seemed reengaged. The emotion combined with a changing of the guard at head coach and every other part of the existing motivation-stew created the perfect storm for the home team.
"We made a bunch of key mistakes that turned into big plays," linebacker Tre Walker," who logged seven tackles said. "It was very frustrating."
With each big play and each sack of Wildcat quarterbacks, of which there were six, the energy inside the confines grew. The snowball effect was culminated late in the second quarter, when a 37-yard pass from Cody Hawkins to wideout Scotty McKnight put Colorado up 23-14 going into halftime.
The Buffaloes pushed their advantage to as many as 16 in the third quarter, but 22 second-half points, including a flurry of late-game passes from Coffman, pulled K-State to within eight on two occasions. Still, with a chance to even the score with a long drive with less than two minutes to play, Snyder's offense stumbled.
"We're very frustrated after every loss, but we were really expecting to win this game. We got an early jump on them, but things went downhill after that."
Playing in front of a hometown crowd, Wildcat wide receiver Aubrey Quarles led the team five catches for 114 yards and a touchdown.
K-State, now 6-5 on the season and 3-5 in Big 12 play, will wrap up its regular season next Saturday with a road game at North Texas, a Sun Belt Conference opponent that has also undergone a midseason coaching change.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration's pay czar has asked American International Group to withhold some of the millions in bonuses promised to its employees.
Kenneth Feinberg, the special master for executive compensation, "has informally advised AIG not to pay the full $198 million" that employees expect to receive, according to a report yesterday from the special inspector general overseeing the $700 billion financial bailout.
Feinberg is locked in negotiations with the seven companies that received the most expensive taxpayer bailouts. AIG's was by far the largest. The government committed more than $180 billion to wind down the New York-based insurance and financial services conglomerate. The Treasury Department now owns about 80 percent of AIG.
The bonuses will go to employees of AIG's financial products division. Their bad bets on complex financial derivatives helped sink the company. To secure its bailouts, AIG argued to the government that its failure would doom the broader financial system.
News about the bonuses in February sparked public and congressional backlash. At the time, Treasury officials said there was no legal way to break the contracts guaranteeing bonus payments, but Feinberg's move appears to undermine those claims.
The report from special inspector general Neil Barofsky also says the Treasury Department did not fully analyze AIG's compensation before bailing it out.
It took officials from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York months to untangle AIG's "staggeringly complex, decentralized" compensation structure, the report says. They eventually discovered 620 bonus programs totaling $455 million and 13 retention plans allocating $1 billion.

Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin has put the bite into plans to allow crocodile hunting safaris in the Northern Territory.
Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information laws by News Ltd newspapers show that in April last year, the government was strongly considering allowing the safaris if it was safe, sustainable and humane.
The documents indicated the federal government had even gone to the extent of drawing up legal documents to make the move official.
But in May last year, Mr Irwin wrote to Environment Minister Ian Campbell opposing the move, and in August took Senator Campbell on a personal tour of Cape York to see crocodiles in the wild.
By October, Senator Campbell had shelved plans to allow 25 of 600 problem crocs to be shot each year by wealthy tourists, News Ltd said.
Mr Irwin's intervention has angered many in the NT.
Territory Environment Minister Marion Scrymgour said the hunting safaris would have been a huge boost for Aboriginal communities and pastoralists.
"Aboriginal economic enterprises and pastoralists are being held to ransom by a Queensland theme park operator," she told the Australian.
Mr Irwin's Australia Zoo did not respond to requests for comment.

Hi, everyone out there in Loop-land! I've been off the radar for a while, due to a combination of events out of my control: my home laptop crashed and I have a new job that doesn't allow me to log on to social media sites. (I'm doing this post from an iPhone!)
So just wanted to post a quick message that I've missed being here and interacting with all you wonderful Loopsters. I'm currently starting training for my 2nd attempt at the Fargo marathon. I'm hoping - at the VERY least - to beat last year's time of 6:08. :-p I've got about 22 weeks to train so I think I can beat that.
I've been trying to keep up with some reading in the Loop, which is great because lately I've needed the motivation from all your stories. Don't know how much I'll be able to post, but it's good to be able to say "hi" anyway.
Thanks for being the friendly, supportive, wonderful runners you all are!

Nice to see you again, Leigh.
22 weeks is plenty of time. Good luck!
You'll do better since it's not gonna be 9873976384 degrees that day (hopefully!)
::waves:: Hi!! 22 weeks sounds like plenty of time to beat last years time. Good luck and check back in with us when you can! I know how it is when you can't get on at work. They blocked it here for a while, and that was the last time I dropped off the Loop radar.
Awesome post best wishes.

If you're feeling like "OMG WTF" when scrolling your comment thread, you may be dealing with a troll. Trolls aren't just readers or customers who are complaining about your product or service; these are creatures, spawned of the Internet, with the sole purpose of being a nuisance or creating a destructive presence on your site. Trolls don't have legitimate grievances and they don't want to talk rationally about their concerns.
They want to cause a commotion and they want attention. But before you take the bait and start responding to comments like "You mad, bro?" consider these tips for dealing with trolls on your blog or social-networking sites:
Don't Feed the Trolls
The most common advice given by fellow bloggers and Internet users in dealing with trolls is "Don't feed the trolls." In other words, don't
give them want they want: Attention. Don't respond to their comments, and don't recognize their presence in any way.
The common wisdom is that no matter how you respond, trolls will find a way to keep flaming you or trying to get a reaction out of you. And even one small outburst or negative comment is enough to keep them going.
Take the High Road
Occasionally, simply ignoring your trolls is not enough to deal with them. If they are not getting the attention they want, trolls may try to up the ante by making even more inflammatory or offensive comments. This will create a negative presence that will either reflect poorly on you or it will draw in other readers or fans to respond, which could escalate the thread.
If you feel that ignoring the troll will not make him go away, respond with neutral or positive comments to try to discourage them. Simple comments like, "Thank you for your feedback," or "We appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion" should be enough to let your troll know that you won't be baited, but not enough to give him more material.
Have a Sense of Humor
If you can't get rid of a troll, you can try beating him at his own game by responding with humor. Don't sink to the level of the troll and insult him or use derogatory humor. Instead, use levity to show that the comments do not have their intended affect and to dismiss the childish antics.
This is a risky strategy, as you must be sure that you can best the troll. Sometimes, humor can backfire, and you will be the one looking more foolish. Be sure you can win before you try to play the troll's game.
Ban or Delete
If all else fails, you can delete your troll's comments or ban him completely. Most Internet users are against censorship of any kind when it comes to comments and posts, so think carefully before you resort to this tactic. If you do decide to delete comments or ban a troll, try to do so before the troll gains notice. It is easier to quietly dismiss a troll without an audience than it is to publicly censor and remove dissenters from your page.
Remember that not all negative commenters are trolls. Some are genuinely disgruntled customers or fans, and you should carefully assess comments before you decide to dismiss them as the work of a troll. If you are dealing with a genuinely aggrieved customer, take the opportunity to publicly resolve the complaint to show your dedication to your customers and win over more fans.

" Genre: War & Western - Western / Parental Guidance / Director: George Stevens / Actors: Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Carroll Baker, Jane Withers ... / DVD released 2003-07-28 at Warner Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I've been to Texas once...and despite spending a week doing a lot of driving I only saw a tiny fraction of the state. What I remember about the place however was how it seemed the same as many other places in the United States but also very different. I guess it's not called the Lonestar State for nothing.
My preconceptions of the state came not just from the TV series "Dallas" but also from a film I saw when I was a teenager called "Giant". Filmed in 1955, "Giant" is perfectly named - it's a long film (nearly three and a half hours) with a big story about a big family in a big state. The film is based on Edna Ferber's equally large novel of the same name and in the hands of legendary director George Stevens became a very special film.
"Giant" is also famous because it marks the final onscreen appearance of James Dean, who died in a car crash just after he completed filming. The genre was a step away from the teenage films Dean had made his name in - instead "Giant" is classic 1950s melodrama with a western twist.
~~The Plot~~
Jordan "Bick" Benedict, a rancher from western Texas, heads to Maryland to purchase a stud horse. When there he meets Leslie Lynnton, a local socialite. The pair fall in love and marry, returning to the family ranch in Texas called Reata. Leslie's arrival causes friction with Bick's sister Luz, who feels her position in the family is undermined.
A ranch hand at Reata, Jett Rink, worships Leslie from afar and dreams of somehow making a fortune and escaping Texas.
The film covers a period of 30 years, and while it remains a family saga at heart it also considers issues such as technological advances and change, as well as racism in Texas at the time.
~~My Thoughts~~
I've seen "Giant" several times over the years and it's hard to get away from the fact that for all the wonderfully framed camera shots which capture the heat, dust and tumbleweed of Texas, the film is overshadowed by an extraordinary performance from James Dean. Dean is quite simply irresistibly photogenic, however his acting style - which I agree is a matter of taste for some - is so clever he can steal a scene even when he has nothing to say. Jett Rink, his character, is at times socially awkward, taciturn and staggeringly arrogant. In the wrong hands Rink wouldn't be sympathetic to an audience at all but Dean's ability to capture the character's vulnerability ensures even when he is behaving at his obnoxious worst, the audience is on side.
Rock Hudson is perfectly cast as Rink's nemesis, Bick Benedict. He looks wonderful but convinces as a man who begins the film with an air of certainty about where he has come from and how his life will proceed, convinced that the fact he took over his father's ranch means his son will want to do the same. As time passes and things don't seem so cut and dried, Hudson captures the confusion and sense of loss his character feels perfectly.
Hudson has marvellous on-screen chemistry with Elizabeth Taylor who plays his wife Leslie. Taylor is a better actor than Hudson however and she is wonderfully feisty in the role but also conveys a compassionate side which is sorely lacking in the Texan characters. Taylor looks absolutely amazing in the film too, with her luminescent beauty quite literally setting the screen alight.
The three main characters have to age 30 years over the course of the film and while Dean rises to the challenge and Hudson looks passingly convincing as a middle aged man, Taylor does not, with the make up department seemingly deciding that making her hair increasingly grey would do the trick. It's a shame because it does detract a little from Taylor's performance and isn't really her fault.
The film has a large ensemble support cast and features a gauche Dennis Hopper as Bick's heir along with Sal Mineo and Carroll Baker in supporting roles. Mineo is criminally underused, but a couple of beautifully photographed close-ups of him stay in the mind long after the film has ended. Baker, in her first major movie role, is effective in her role as Bick and Leslie's youngest daughter Luz II, being both charming and cheeky.
Chill Wills is probably the standout supporting performer, playing Bick's Uncle Bawley. Wills was a Texas native and his accent, demeanour and charm are genuine throughout exuding a warmth that touches the audience. Mercedes McCambridge is fantastic too as Luz, quietly revealing her sense of rage and insecurity over her place at Reata with the arrival of Leslie. Luz is an unsentimental woman and McCambridge conveys this, along with a quiet malevolence brilliantly in an understated performance.
Stevens turns the landscape of Texas into a star performer too. His photography magnificently captures the relentless heat, with an inspired scene which features a car driving into the distance with what seems like a never ending trail of dust following behind it. The vastness of the state is also shown in scenes which are filled with what seems like thousands of bulls locking horns as they are rounded up. Stevens used a three sided mock up for the Reata ranchhouse, which is a vast gothic monument which seemingly sits in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately the mock up isn't very convincing and you can easily tell which scenes were shot on location and those interior Reata shots are obviously done on a soundstage.
"Giant" is a brilliant film in my opinion, but for all its brilliance has some flaws too. For starters it's too long - and while the story is a big one the narrative gets a little bloated in places and with a little judicious editing, director George Stevens could have cut it to under 3 hours for a better flow of the narrative.
Aside from the pacing the social issues addressed are done so in a very clumsy manner with racism amongst white Texans towards Mexican people handled in a simplistic and dare I say it, patronising way. Bick and Leslie's Mexican daughter-in-law barely speaks in the film, being portrayed as a poor, put upon woman with the suggestion being she can only fight back against racism with the help of her white husband and his family. Very few of the Mexican characters are given more than a few lines in the film, so while the anti-racist sentiment is a good one, there's still a sense the Mexicans somehow aren't as important in the film.
~~DVD Presentation & Extras~~
The deluxe edition features 2 DVDs with the film spread out over two sides of the first disc.
The aspect ratio is 1.66:1 which leads to letterboxing on all sides of the screen, which is a bit of a pity as it does cut the screen size considerably when you view, thereby reducing the sense of vastness you get from seeing "Giant" on a big screen. You can also view it as 4x3.
The sound quality is 2.0 Dolby Surround with some extras in 1.0 mono sound. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the sound on the DVD and had to really crank up the volume to hear some of the dialogue in places. There are English subtitles.
The extras are excellent and really give a feel for what filming was like, especially for the people who lived in the Texas town of Marfa which was used for the location shots. Several are interviewed, including some who appeared as extras in the film, along with interviews from several cast members in two documentaries on disc two, "Memories of Giant" and "Return to Giant". My only real gripe is the lack of any comments from Elizabeth Taylor on the shooting process which is a shame as they do feature archive footage of Rock Hudson reminiscing about the film.
There's a positively prehistoric television show recording the New York premiere of the film, hosted by Chill Wills which has dated incredibly badly. It's in black and white and the picture quality sucks but it is worth watching to see actors acting like luvvies with each other on the red carpet and Wills being incredibly patronising to a disabled young boy with muscular dystrophy, referring to him as a "tyke on wheels" - ah the good old days - not.
The Hollywood premiere is featured in more slickly produced newsreel footage and when you compare it with the televised New York premiere you can see why Hollywood viewed TV as the poor relation to cinema for so long.
On the flipside of disc one there is also a documentary called "George Stevens: Filmakers Who Knew Him" which gives some insight into the man behind the camera but it's not as interesting as the documentaries on the film "Giant" itself.
For all the sense of soap opera you get when watching "Giant" - perhaps brought on from watching too many episodes of "Dallas" over the years - the film has stood the test of time very well. Culturally it'll probably never go away due to the fact it was James Dean's final role - and arguably his finest onscreen performance.
It isn't perfect but the criticisms are, I suppose, fairly minor. It's very much a film of the 1950s, with a lush sheen so popular at the time in colour melodramas. It lacks some of the more subtle comments evident in Douglas Sirk's films being made at the same time but you could argue that's because Stevens' direction is more upfront and he didn't feel the need to use strong imagery to get a point - snarky or otherwise - across.
The final scenes are a bit of a let down - especially after devoting over 3 hours of your time to the film - and there's a sense that perhaps Stevens ran out of steam and didn't quite know how to get his point across. This leaves the audience with a final shot which is a bit of a damp squib.
I can forgive Stevens this however because so much of what goes before is so good. Dean steals the show but it has to be said Taylor gives him a run for his money and is the actor least likely to be upstaged by him.
If you have an evening free and fancy a little escapism then I highly recommend "Giant" - heck even if you don't care for melodrama it's worth watching if only for Jimmy Dean.

Here's the set-up:
*WARNING: This book contains descriptions of violence and some graphic language. Parental discretion is advised.
In a world that grows with every woeful mind that crosses over in the darkness, a new legend is about to be born when two young brothers find a strange path hidden in the forest, and experience something that will forever stain them both; one with blood and the other with endless nightmares. Many years later, when a mysterious bestiary is found, it will push a traumatized man to seek-out the one person who may have the answers he needs.
Mr. Ferran Grayling has an unbelievable story to tell, and Atticus Sloane will have to decide if it is pure fantasy, or if he's prepared to bet his own life against what may be an incredible truth. His curiosity will ultimately take him to the Gehenna Towers, where all but time and sanity will leave him. A home for sinners, where a man's only hope and prayer is to die as quickly as possible, the ancient stone spires are known to break the unbreakable. Even in the darkest of places, a light may still shine, but horror awaits with the setting sun, as a fallen warrior believes that he has awakened from his death, and miraculously found redemption at the bottom of a deep ravine.
Rejected by the heavens and sent back on a divine mission? Or, is John the Rabid really just a delusional serial killer?
There are some who believe that those who harbour a deeply troubled soul have shattered their inner-being; that the shamefully broken pieces of their collective sub-conscience have been reborn into another place, where part of them exists until they find resolve on either side, or destroy themselves completely.
Welcome to the Queen's Realm; a place where the creatures of all gods, of all things majestic and monstrous, must walk their path.
Anthology: The first three novellas from the now-popular Ultimate Fantasy Series are woven together into a novel of fluid chapters, summarizing the first three volumes, including extras and a special preview chapter of volume four titled:
Amalie Paquin – St. Laurent, Montreal Quebec
Shivers ran down my spine when John found the cabin in the woods. I loved this dark fantasy and the quick pace to the story as if it is being narrated to you. I imagined Ian McKellen (Gandolf the Grey) reading to me in his soothing accent and it was all good!
– Booksummit.com (via kindle book club)
Kyle R Schmitt – Well, what a wonderful combination of serial writing and epic fantasy without the typical 'info-dumps' that are all too common to fill pages for publishers. I should have noticed the US military's Silver Star on the book cover but I missed it altogether the first time around. I have not enjoyed a series with a twist like this one in a long time. I love the pace as the story strides forward like a long-legged dream.
– Smashwords.com customer feedback
Karen Tomlinson – Amateur writing style, but you can brace yourselves for a fantastic and twisted ride into a world of magic, vengeance, and heroic justice. I especially liked John The Rabid. He is a very cool character.
– Via forum post Fantasy-fan.org
Cheryl Aaronson – I cried at the end (happy tears). This is a must-have for every fantasy/horror loving young adult. Atticus Sloane, John The Rabid, Ferran Grayling, so many great characters who've we've just started to know. It's obvious that this series has only just begun to peel back the layers of J. G. Cuff's imagination and hopefully set the stage for more books to come. Why can't this book be 10,000 pages long? I'd still be reading it!
