The Saudi cabinet approved the new general budget for the year 2002 on Saturday, December 8. The budget carries a 45-billion riyal ($12 billion) deficit, composed of revenues set at SR 157 billion, offset by SR 202 billion in expenditures.
The Saudi government, which derives over 75 percent of its revenues from oil sales, estimated that for the current year of 2001, the budget will eventually reach a $6.7 billion deficit, having been previously forecasted to level out at zero.
As the world's largest oil exporter, the kingdom has been adversely affected by low oil prices this year. Having experienced nearly two decades of consecutive deficits, Saudi Arabia recorded a 22.7-billion riyal budget surplus in the year 2000, due to stronger oil price. — (menareport.com)

The city of Cupertino has signed off on a new 10 year contract with the Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff.
The contract will run from fiscal year 2014-15 through 2024-25 and will continue the city's relationship with the law enforcement agency that has been in effect since Cupertino was incorporated in 1955, Sheriff Laurie Smith told the five-member city council on July 1.
"We're really, really proud of the relationship that we have established with you," Smith told the council. "We value our relationship, and we're proud to keep the community in Cupertino one of the safest cities in California."
Smith told the council that Cupertino is 13th safest city in California with a population greater than 20,000 and the third safest city with a population greater than 50,0000 people.
The contract allows the city the option to renew for an additional five years.
Rather than extending the existing contract for an additional five years, the sheriff's office requested a new contract to correspond with the new lease agreement for the westside substation, according to a city of Cupertino staff report.
The contract for fiscal year 2014-15 is for $9,840,602, a 4 percent increase over last year. The contract calls for annual increases based on the percentage increase in total compensation provided to patrol deputies or an average December to December consumer price index for urban wage earners plus 2 percent, whichever is less. The increase over the life of the agreement will not exceed the annual cumulative average of plus 2 percent, according to the staff report.
Other contract changes include the cost sharing for the westside substation lease, which will range from 2.5 percent to 5 percent. This contract was approved by the cities of Los Altos Hills and Saratoga in June and ratified by the county on June 24.
On July 1, Smith told the council that in 2013, the sheriff's office took 2,600 crime reports in Cupertino, investigated 600 accidents and issued nearly 12,000 citations. Smith also told the council that the contract calls for response times of five minutes or faster to priority one calls for service.
In addition to law enforcement, the Office of the Sheriff provides school resource officers, DUI checkpoints, participation in National Night Out, distracted driver meetings, Neighborhood Watch support, code red training at schools and pedestrian safety presentations to senior citizens, and works with the city public safety commission.

Along with its usual retail-focused promotions, Florida's sweet corn growers and packers plan to use new media to help show consumers that Florida fresh sweet corn is available during other times of the year.
Through the Maitland-based Florida Sweet Corn Exchange, the industry plans to continue to spread the word that Florida fresh sweet corn is available throughout the fall, winter and spring, not just during the summer, which many shoppers associate with corn.
Prolonged freezing weather which struck Palm Beach County and Homestead, Fla., growing regions in January didn't affect spring plantings and Jason Stemm, associate vice president of the New York-based Lewis & Neale Inc., the exchange's marketing and public relations firm, said the freeze hasn't prompted the industry to adjust any of its promotional programs.
Changes in technology and digital connectivity have forced everyone to reconsider how they are reaching consumers, Stemm said.
Social media focus
The industry plans to construct a fan page on Facebook to build a community of corn lovers to share recipes and ideas to enjoy Florida supersweet corn and to support the growing presence of retail chains.
"Florida corn growers are looking to utilize the opportunities that the social Web offers by conversing directly with consumers," he said. "The expansion of high-speed connectivity and growth of smart phones have helped the social web develop quickly. Engagement with consumers is an opportunity and challenge in this new space as we all try to evolve from the traditional paradigm of pushing out information to the masses via print and broadcast outlets to a conversation directly with the end user."
To support this change in communication, Stemm said Florida's corn industry is retooling its Web site to better serve the needs of consumers and retailers. One page will be dedicated to point of sale and training support.
The industry plans to work with newspaper and magazine food writers and editors and television personalities such as Mr. Food as well as others in the social media, such as bloggers, to help build awareness that fresh corn is available in the market in April and May, Stemm said.
Florida typically produces its biggest promotable corn volume during April and May.
The industry has developed relationships with leading food publications to get them to start thinking about corn availability earlier in the year.
Those investments have seen them featuring more corn-based recipes throughout the year, particularly in the spring, Stemm said.
Retail support
A team of retail merchandisers remains in close contact with retail buyers and category mangers and updates them on what consumers think about buying corn.
As part of its retail promotions, the exchange plans retail sales and display contests. While the exchange has funded such efforts in the past, Stemm said the industry is looking into tying such promotions into other larger promotions conducted by chains throughout their retail stores.
Category management research the exchange funded a couple of years ago provided some good tips and best practices advice to retailers and helped prompt them to start thinking about featuring corn in events and other holidays such as Easter, Cinco de Mayo, when consumers think about buying food.
"We are trying to give consumers some other ways to be thinking about preparing and enjoying corn outside of their traditional summer thoughts," Stemm said. "That's why education is a key component and challenge. We are trying to get retailers to market and display corn outside of summer months not as a loss-leader but something that can help bring consumers to the stores and help them make more profits."
Using funds from a $100,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture farm bill specialty crop grant, the exchange in 2009 photographed growers for advertisements and for visuals to be used in retail point-of-sale material designed to increase awareness of Florida corn availability.
Growers John Scott Hundley of Loxahatchee, Fla.-based Hundley Farms Inc. and Tommy Holt, a co-owner of S. M. Jones & Co. Inc., Belle Glade, Fla., along with their wives and children were filmed in corn fields. The growers were used to help show consumers how Florida corn is brought to them by real growers.
The exchange this season plans to use remaining funds from the grant for a series of radio advertisements scheduled to run on stations in Florida and in select northeastern U.S. markets, such as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston as well as Chicago.
The growers' photos will be used in a series of retail promotional materials such as price cards that fit into produce display wire racks, recipe and information leaflets and three- by five-inch tear pads that focus on different ways consumers can prepare corn.
Consumer focus
The material shows how consumers can roast corn. Stemm said roasting is important because many consumers early in the season may think it's too cold to begin grilling. Other information shows how consumers can grill and microwave ears of corn.
A sudden interest in skillet steaming prompted the exchange to produce material showing how consumers can put ears of corn in a skillet with two inches of water and steam the corn in 4-5 minutes versus the 20 minutes it might take to boil the corn.
The exchange this spring also plans to apply for another USDA specialty crop grant to fund consumer and category research through the University of Florida, Gainesville.
Survey results would not only help with corn merchandising but could also be applied to other Florida-grown commodities, something Stemm said USDA grant writers like to see.
In another retail promotion, growers plan to continue a retail-based charitable program they started last season.
Last season, exchange growers contributed more than $25,000 to charitable programs by donating five cents per crate the stores bought to the retailer-chosen charities.
Calling the program successful, Stemm said the exchange is slightly reworking the program, which runs for two weeks mid-April to mid-May, to allow more retailer flexibility.
Along with its usual retail-focused promotions, Florida's sweet corn growers and packers plan to use new media to help show consumers that Florida fresh sweet corn is available during other times of the year.

What is BMI
BMI is short for body mass index. BMI is a way of comparing your weight to the healthy weight for your height. BMI is a standard metric defined by the World Health Organization.
A healthy BMI is from 18.5 to 25. Anything lower suggests that you are underweight and anything higher suggests that you are overweight. BMI is correlated with how much body fat you have. If you are severely underweight or overweight, you should consult a doctor for a more accurate body fat test.
BMI is used because it's very easy to calculate, you simply enter your height and weight into your BMI calculator. However, BMI isn't as accurate as the body fat tests done by your doctor. Your BMI may not accurately reflect your level of health. For example, women tend to have a higher BMI than men because women have more body fat on average. This means that women can have a higher-than-average BMI and still be healthy. Athletes also have higher than average BMI, but that's because of muscles, not fat. Nevertheless, BMI is a good starting point to figure out how healthy you are.
Our BMI calculator uses the standard BMI formula: mass divided by height squared. There are specialized calculators for men and women. There are also other BMI calculators that use your body surface area or waist circumference, but most people don't know these metrics.

At the celebration, three alumni were awarded 2010 Alumni Achievement Awards -- Alexander W. Kuo '61, James L. Hallock '69, and Keith E. Maskus '76. Matthew L. Berg '00 was the sixth recipient of the Young Alumni Achievement Award.
Writer, photographer, and professor Alexander W. Kuo has published more than 350 poems, short stories, photographs, and essays in magazines, newspapers, and anthologies around the world and is the author of eight highly-acclaimed books. In 1971, his collection The Window Tree became the first volume of poetry published by an Asian American in the United States, and in 2002, he won the American Book Award for Lipstick and Other Stories. Kuo began his distinguished career after receiving his bachelor's degree from Knox in 1961 and his master's of fine arts from the Iowa Writers Workshop, one of the nation's premiere writing programs, in 1963. He has worked as an administrator and a teacher of writing, literature, and ethnic studies at several colleges and universities and is the recipient of three National Endowment for the Arts awards, a Lingnan Foundation Fellowship, a Senior Fulbright Fellowship, and a Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Residency, among others.

With more than 39 years of experience in the construction industry, James L. Hallock, a Galesburg native, has dedicated the last 15 years to promoting earthen construction as a solution to environmental and global housing concerns. Beginning with the 1995 founding of Earth Block, Inc., in Colorado, he has served as general contractor on dozens of homes, many of which have been featured in national magazines. In recent years, Hallock has expanded his efforts on an international scale, consulting both on high-end developments and affordable housing projects around the world, including his service as consultant to the United States Department of Agriculture in the reconstruction of Honduras following Hurricane Mitch. As founder and president of a Mexican-based company, Tierra y Cal, Proyectos Sustentables, he continues to focus on bringing healthy, high-quality housing to those in need and is in the process of establishing an institute for training in methods of sustainable construction and living.
Keith E. Maskus, professor of economics and associate dean for social sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is a renowned expert on international trade, including foreign direct investment, intellectual property rights, and the link between trade and technology transfer.

Maskus also serves as a consultant for the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the World Intellectual Property Organization. He is the author of Intellectual Property Rights in the Global Economy and co-editor of International Public Goods and the Transfer of Technology under a Globalized Intellectual Property Regime.
After graduating from Knox with a double major in computer science and integrated international studies, Matthew L. Berg received his MBA in international management from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. After working several years for Web startups, Berg served as a volunteer for Geekcorps, a non-profit organization working to expand Internet use in emerging nations. He then became Geekcorps' Mali country director and helped create the Last Mile Initiative, a USAID pilot program to bring basic information and communication technologies services to rural African villages. For his work, Berg earned a Tech Museum Laureate Award in 2006, and was featured in CNN's Business 2.0, Make magazine, and in the book WorldChanging. He currently serves as the information and communications technologies coordinator for the Millennium Villages Project at Columbia University, where he oversees the use of technology to help achieve the United Nations Millennium Development goals within Millennium Villages in Sub-Saharan Africa. An emerging leader in the field of mobile health, Berg is helping to pioneer the use of text messages to improve the delivery and monitoring of health services in resource poor settings.

The Invisible Woman (12A)
The Invisible Woman (12A)
Dir: Ralph Fiennes
Loading article content
With: Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones
Runtime: 111 minutes
FOR his second outing as an actor-director after Coriolanus, Ralph Fiennes chooses the story of Dickens and his relationship with the actress Ellen Ternan. Told in flashback with a screenplay by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady), as adapted from Claire Tomalin's biography, the story is told very much from the viewpoint of the women, in particular Ternan (Felicity Jones) and Dickens's wife Catherine (played with much majesty by Joanna Scanlan of Getting On fame). Fiennes, meanwhile, harrumphs and charms his way through the picture as the man of letters torn between convention and his heart. The pace is period drama sedate, but what the picture lacks in fizz it makes up for in nuance, and Jones is on fine form as Ternan.
Mr Peabody & Sherman (3D) (U)

IF a boy can adopt a dog, why can't a dog adopt a boy? That's the winning idea behind this animated charmer from DreamWorks (Shrek, Madagascar). The characters are drawn from an American television series from the 1960s, but they translate perfectly to the Noughties. Young Sherman has been home-schooled in New York by his adopted dad, the Niles Crane-like Mr Peabody (voiced by Ty Burrell). Mr Peabody is not just the smartest dog on the block; he also has access to a time machine that can travel through history, bringing lessons to life. But now it is time for Sherman to go out into the big wide world of real school. Chaos, laughs and cuteness ensue. A picture that is lots of fun, gorgeous to look at, and, courtesy of the time travel to revolutionary France, Renaissance Italy and the Trojan War, educational too. But don't tell youngsters that last part, obviously.
The Rocket (12A)
Dir: Kim Mourdaunt
With: Loungnam Kaosainam, Sittiphon Disamoe
Runtime: 96 minutes
THE Glasgow Youth Film Festival hits its stride with this moving, beautifully shot drama set in Laos. Since Ahlo (Sittiphon Disamoe) was born, his grandmother has feared that he brings bad luck wherever he goes. With their home being taken away to build a dam, the impoverished family do not need any more ill fortune. So when further misfortune happens, it is up to Ahlo to try to fix things by entering a competition to build a rocket. A terrific performance from young Disamoe caps a moving tale.
GYFF at GFT, February 11, 8.30pm
The General (U)
Dirs: Clyde Bruckman, Buster Keaton
With: Buster Keaton, Marion Mack
Runtime: 90 minutes
THE sublime Buster Keaton silent comedy from 1926 is given a spruce up by Glasgow's Park Circus. With Keaton as co-director and star, the tale of a humble train driver, Johnnie Grey, who becomes entangled in the Civil War and in love, has been made to look magnificent again. The comedy is just as fresh, and the beautifully choreographed scenes have rightly become much echoed classics.

Rosemary's Baby
Along with the original versions of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Night Of The Living Dead, Rosemary's Baby was one of the most frightening film-watching experiences of my life. And what really makes Rosemary's Baby an even more special film is that if you took the "horror" elements out of it and you just had a film about a young couple in New York City in the late '60s it would still be completely entertaining. It's a great lesson in storytelling: interesting characters first will make the "horror" more powerful.
The perfectly taut screenplay credited to director Roman Polanski follows Ira Levin's novel almost scene for scene, line for line. There is not a loose shred in the script, which may sound simple enough on paper - newlyweds Guy (John Cassavetes) and Rosemary (Mia Farrow) move into an old Manhattan building where they become friends with the elderly couple next door (Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer). Slowly the pregnant Rosemary begins to suspect that they and their creaky posse are part of a witch's covenant of devil worshippers who are hungry for her unborn baby.Continue Reading
Punishment Park
The ability to suspend disbelief is easiest to do when you're watching films about global conspiracies, justice systems, and especially politics. Having movies like this be shot in a documentary style only aids this experience. After seeing this movie, I can honestly say that I haven't been this motivated to discuss politics and justice in a long time, and I'm glad that a film could have the power to stir the pot. Punishment Park is set in 1970, a year before the film's release. Nixon is president and we are currently occupying Vietnam. Due to the war, America is going through a brutish and frightening phase where even a handful of politicians are resigning from office over their disgust with the nation's actions towards its outspoken citizens and the overall progress of mankind. With new laws and the proposed threat of Russia, there has been a complete re-working of the justice system in which American citizens have lost basic freedoms that were once seen as the staple of American life. These new laws include the "cancellation of immunity," stop and frisk laws, activation of detention camps, the ability to overrule basic amendments of the Constitution during trial, and the McCarran Act—a real law developed in the '50s that called for the ability to investigate Americans who posed a threat to national security, and was later dismissed and "revised."
Individuals seen as a threat to national security include those who start riots or do any sort of activism that carries a violent message; those evading or refusing the draft; those charged with Communism; and even a privileged 19-year old whose pop music is accused of having harmful messages and promoting violence. As a particular group of people are being given a ludicrous trial by a bonkers committee of trustees, a batch of people who have already received their own trials are being transported to Punishment Park—the alternative option to a prison sentence after being found guilty.Continue Reading
Paradise Now
The marriage between religion and politics has no known date. To explore this link with films is to visually investigate the times and reasons for which people intertwine the two in order to make sense of their disrupted lives and societies. Hany Abu-Assad's Paradise Now is the story of two friends whose lives have been torn apart by institutional violence and injustice. At first glance, they appear to be unaffected by their environment until a commitment made years before manifests the horrific day when they are called upon to become martyrs for a cause that they don't fully understand.
The story takes place in modern times with the Muslim dominated Palestine being in a constant state of war with the Zionist/Jewish society of Israel. Said (Kais Nashif) and Khaled (Ali Suliman) are two childhood friends who agreed as teenagers to carry out a suicide bombing together for an organization which has been plotting its next attack for over two years. Each man, now in their early twenties, is visited separately by their messenger Jamal (Amer Hlehel) and told that the bombing will happen in less than 24 hours. The two begin saying goodbye to their families in order to prepare for their brief training.Continue Reading
The Bad News Bears
I have not seen the remakes of the original The Bad News Bears and its bawdy, sports film cousin, The Longest Yard. And though it stars Billy Bob Thornton, one of my favorite actors of his generation, I just have no interest in it. Knowing what they can and cannot get away with today, I assume the remake pales in comparison. One film, the remake, is a scheme to make money off a brand name, while the original version was created by one of the more underrated, personal filmmakers of the 1970s, Michael Ritchie.
Coming off of the charming teen beauty-pageant comedy Smile (a kinda "Altmany" gem, almost Nashville-light, in need of being rediscovered) and the biting political satire The Candidate, director Ritchie made one of the greatest sports comedies of all time and frankly one of my favorite movies of all time. Though the two horrid sequels, The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training and the even worse, much worse The Bad News Bears Go To Japan may have helped to bring down its reputation, it's actually much better than you may remember or may have heard. If you're not a prude about the language it's a perfect film to introduce to a teenager who's into baseball or just admires adolescent rebellion and mayhem.Continue Reading
Back in '77 the film Sorcerer was considered a mega-bomb, both artistically and financially. Coming off the mammoth success of both The French Connection and The Exorcist, it would mark the beginning of an enormous career decline for director William Friedkin. However in retrospect, Sorcerer is one badass action thriller and one of the most underrated films of the '70s.
By the end of the decade many of Friedkin's peers, that great class of '70s film directors who set a new benchmark with their important and revolutionary films earlier in the decade, seemed to get bitten with the overindulgent bug. After years of hitting it out of the park, a number of these "geniuses" created what were considered duds with would-be epics. Spielberg had the loud 1941, Scorsese made the boring musical New York, New York, Coppola put forth the unwatchable One From The Heart, and Bogdanovich had a string of disasters. And of course Michael Cimino, after the success of The Deer Hunter, would help to sink a whole studio with his artsy Western Heaven's Gate (which was derided for years, but more recently has found a new wave of critical support). Then it was Friedkin's turn to swing for his home run. For his epic he would do a remake of French director Henri-Georges Clouzot's adventure movie, Le Salaire de la Peur (The Wages Of Fear). Clouzot had of course also done the greatest French mystery thriller of all time, the more Hitchcockian than Hitchcock Les Diaboliques (Diabolique). Friedkin developed the remake for superstar Steve McQueen to head the international cast. Sorcerer was green-lighted with a budget that in its day made it a big, big event movie. But unfortunately McQueen got sick and then died and the film never made back its bucks. But what ended up on the screen is wildly spectacular filmmaking.Continue Reading
Ludwig Wittgenstein is perhaps one of the more neurotic and bizarre philosophers that I've read thus far. Seeing any kind of interpretation of his life and measures of reason would be an oddly enjoyable migraine. Thankfully, our good friend Derek Jarman made a sort of homoerotic comedy that attempts to interpret his life and philosophical debates. I took the risk and gave it a try simply because Jarman himself seems to be a bit of a philosopher (perhaps if he had a favorite, it might be Wittgenstein). In what films I have seen of his, all of them tend to be laden with personal unease from his psyche. In that sense, his films are very exclusive and cater to his beliefs and sexuality. Watching Wittgenstein was sort of like sitting in a room with the director debating various issues and it just so happens that his side of the argument is better served through tangible images, rather than words.
To make a long story short, you might not enjoy Wittgenstein if you don't care for his philosophy (or philosophy in general), much less a farce of it. Aside from the content, the film's style might also be off-putting. It's sort of like a stageless play where everything is set against black, similar to Lars von Trier's Dogville, but even more minimal in terms of props and stage design.Continue Reading
To be considered the "second coming" of anything is a huge weight to carry upon one's shoulders. Caravaggio is the story of Michelangelo Caravaggio (Nigel Terry), a painter who is seen as the new Michelangelo amongst his supporters, and a priest who discovered him while he was a teenage prostitute. The film shifts between three stages of Caravaggio's life: his adolescence, his middle-aged years, and finally, his last few days on his deathbed where he dies slowly, in agony and in exile. The entire film is set in a timeless Vienna, part regal and part modern, which seems to be the norm in Jarman's films.
In his adolescence, Caravaggio (Dexter Fletcher) is a hustler, using his paintings to make extra money on the streets or taking direction from his "guardian" to return home with the male buyers when their interest is not in his paintings. His work is mainly mimetic and consists of still-lifes of fruit or people, and eventually falls into the hands of a priest whose church looks after Caravaggio once he becomes gravely ill for the first time. He then begins a sort of commission for the church in exchange for money and support, ironically or purposefully similar to the late Michelangelo in reality. This sponsorship continues into his adulthood, but his work changes from the simply mimicry of objects and people into the bold representations of them. With each painting, he uses live models to recreate sorrowful, if not gruesome details of the human condition.Continue Reading
The Day of the Locust
Adaptations of quintessentially L.A. novels tend to either work marvelously, as with L.A. Confidential, or don't quite measure up to their source material (a category I'd lump Ask the Dust into). John Schlesinger's adaptation of The Day of the Locust was a costly misfire for Paramount Studios which spent something like 6 months on the film and a whole lot of dough. It could have been as influential as Chinatown, but it was a flop upon release, though ultimately it had some enduring appeal as a cult film in later years. Nathaniel West's novel is generally considered to be the very best novel on Hollywood, its more grotesque inhabitants, and its tragic allure as a festering dump where dreams go to die. That makes the novel sound sobering and self-serious but this is a story about fame whores, violently degenerate midgets, sociopathic child actors, cockfights, stag films, and a movie premiere that culminates in the apocalypse. It's brutally dark and really, really entertaining.
The movie is essentially a literal adaptation of West's novel and it came under criticism from some quarters for being too literal. Director John Schlesinger was taken to task for supposedly ignoring the arch satire of West's depiction of Hollywood as the epicenter of greed, desperation, and idiocy, and instead ratcheting up the cartoon nihilism to a fever pitch. But when you do a story about America's pop cultural border town that ends with a murderous orgy of celebrity blood lust I'm not exactly sure "holding back" is the way to go. The Day of the Locust is about a particular kind of American tragedy that West found on Hollywood Boulevard during the 1930s. In the dive bars and diners that lined the boulevard were hundreds of desperate people without a nickel to their name, all drawn to Hollywood in the hopes of making it big. Most, West found, couldn't even get work as extras. He saw them as a mass of human wreckage under the movie premiere kleig lights. The dark joke beneath the glittering dream that Hollywood came to embody was exquisitely rendered by West as it was happening. The film does justice to the novel with its horror show theatrics under the palm trees and sunny skies of Southern California and ultimately it's more creepy than campy.Continue Reading
A Place In The Sun
The "American dream." Many of the WWII GIs and their wives thought they were living it. It was the goal. A place of respect in society. Materialism. Love. It was all promised…Or so they thought. The flaws in the dream were gradually exposed throughout the '50s and especially into the '60s. One of the first to do so was the great filmmaker, George Stevens, a WWII vet himself (he shot some of the most important war footage ever recorded, the liberation of Paris and the Nazi camp in Dachau). Using Theodore Dreiser's 1925 novel, An American Tragedy, as a springboard, Stevens showed the horror of the ambitious dreamer (it was also made into a rarely mentioned film by Josef von Sternberg in 1931).
What is now considered Stevens' so-called American Trilogy begins with A Place In The Sun and then goes on to include his greatest masterpiece, Shane, and then James Dean's final film, the overlong Giant. He would follow up the cycle with the touching, but stagy, The Diary Of Anne Frank, in '59. Unfortunately his disastrous biblical epic, The Greatest Story Ever Told, in '65 would more or less send him into early retirement as a director (he would pop out once more, five years later, for the Warren Beatty snoozer, The Only Game In Town). A Place In The Sun, in retrospect, is the perfect peek into the dark side of America in 1951. George Eastman (Montgomery Clift), a modest, steady young man, accepts a job from his rich uncle at a factory. He gets involved with a mousy co-worker, Alice (Shelley Winters), eventually knocking her up, a major inconvenience when he meets and falls for the boss's wealthy, fast lane daughter Angela (Elizabeth Taylor at her most stunning). The two have an intense chemistry for each other. George gets a taste of the lifestyles of the rich and famous, but he is stuck with his whiny pregnant girlfriend who is basically blackmailing him into marriage. George will do whatever it takes to get rid of Alice so he can get his share of what he thinks the world owes him.Continue Reading
Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974
Ever wish you could meet a strong-willed Japanese feminist from the '70s? Now's your chance. Director Kazuo Hara introduces us to a woman named Miyuki Takeda—his former lover, and one of the most impressive subjects to ever be captured on film. After leaving him and taking their child to travel from mainland Japan to Okinawa, Hara decides that the only way to stay connected with her and understand what happened in their relationship is to document her and those who enter her life after their time together. So from 1972 to 1974, Hara frequents Okinawa to film her, doing so with grace and capturing some amazing footage of locals as well.
In 1972, Miyuki begins a new relationship with a woman named Sugako. His presence throughout this segment caused tension and unease with the couple as their disoriented and sometimes abusive relationship unfolds onscreen. In this section of the documentary we are able to see an enormous transformation with Miyuki. Not only has she decided to abandon all aspects of her personality that would classify her as a "good wife," but also everything and anything that could prevent her or her son from becoming anything short of radical.Continue Reading

Reds left in a no-win situation
At least one footballer has emerged from a sorry saga with his reputation enhanced. Branislav Ivanovic seems a forgiving sort, if Luis Suarez is to be believed. Chelsea's Serbian defender ignored the bitemarks on his arm and accepted the apology offered by Anfield's answer to Hannibal Lector. He also apparently told the police that he did not wish to press charges against his attacker.
If nothing else, the speed with which Suarez said sorry suggested Liverpool are getting better at damage limitation. They appear to have learnt lessons from the damaging, drawn-out affair last season when Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra.
And yet, in the immediate aftermath of an unprovoked, senseless assault, Suarez scarcely looked contrite. When Brendan Rodgers and Ian Ayre studied the video evidence, as they did on Sunday evening, they would have seen Liverpool's top scorer giving a thumbs-up sign to referee Kevin Friend, ignoring Ivanovic – who was trying to inform the official of the unlikely, unacceptable events – and carrying on impervious, as though nothing had happened. If he felt pangs of guilt, they were cleverly camouflaged. More likely, Suarez simply thought he had got away with it.
Perhaps, too, he has been encouraged to think he can. While Rodgers rebuked Suarez – though not at the time – for his admission that he dived in an attempt to win a penalty against Stoke, Kenny Dalglish effectively gave his star striker carte blanche to act as he wanted. His interpretation of 'the Liverpool Way', meaning outsiders could not comment on, let alone criticise, anyone at Anfield, was invoked whenever Suarez was the accused. Liverpool's best player has also brought out the worst in the extremists among the fanbase and a reappraisal of their idol is required. He is not whiter than white. None of us are.
But the broader issue, above and beyond the question of what prompts a human being to bite another, is what Liverpool do now. Suarez has received paeans of praise from Rodgers for the unyielding determination he brings to every training session, let alone every match. Liverpool's has been an undistinguished season but without his goals, particularly early in the season, it would have been far worse and Rodgers' could have proved a brief and ignominious reign. Perhaps the Northern Irishman felt he owed a debt of gratitude to the Uruguayan. He does not any longer.
He cannot control the uncontrollable and Suarez appears lawless. While there is a precedent of Eric Cantona kung-fu kicking a spectator and returning to be crowned Footballer of the Year and earn the Manchester United captaincy, that would require Suarez to effect a swift transition and become a reformed character. It would be like Mike Tyson, his new follower on Twitter, suddenly joining the Peace Corps.
So at the very least, and despite their public statement to the contrary, Liverpool must contemplate a future without Suarez. It is complicated because talent is not democratic and the 26-year-old has more of it than many of his team-mates combined. Steven Gerrard, rarely one to get carried away, has described him as the best player he has played with and, after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the third-finest footballer on the planet.
Even if Suarez's actions are indefensible, he is also irreplaceable. Despite their storied past, the reality is that Liverpool have not played a Champions League game since December 2009. They are unlikely to be in Europe next season, and a title tilt still seems seasons away. No matter how much money they banked for him, they would struggle to attract a replacement of a similar calibre.
Those who belong among the world's top ten strikers, such as Radamel Falcao, Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, are not beating down the door of Liverpool's Melwood training ground, begging to be allowed in. Playing alongside Stewart Downing is not enough of a carrot to lure them to Merseyside.
Factor in Rodgers' mixed record in the transfer market and it gets still tougher. If it appeared cowardly when, after the game and when everyone else knew what had happened, he insisted he had not seen the pictures, it was also understandable. This could be the defining decision of his time at Anfield.
Defending Suarez and defending against him are equally awkward tasks. But for the bite, his achievement in reaching the 30-goal landmark for the season would have been celebrated. The last Liverpool player to get there was Fernando Torres. Before him, it was Robbie Fowler, then Ian Rush and Dalglish. In short, he is in the company of legends.
Most of their goals came for better teams, too, which is why Suarez may still call the shots in his relationship with Liverpool. Yet when an offer arrives, as it surely will, Rodgers, Ayre and owners Fenway Sports Group will be placed in an unenviable position. It is certain the team will be damaged if he goes. It is probable the club's reputation will be damaged again at some point if he stays. It is a no-win situation.

The Isanti County Board on April 17 learned just how busy county staff has been with processing gun permits, while gun control continues to be a hot topic of debate among both elected leaders and the public around the nation.
After some discussion with Chief Deputy Bill Guenther, the board approved a part-time administrative assistant in records to help with the permits, thus cutting down on the amount of overtime that is squeezing the department's budget. Proceeds from the permits are expected to cover the new position.
Guenther said there are about 60 permit-to-carry permits pending at this time, while the clerical staff continues to work long hours to keep up with the demand. Processing gun permits could keep county staff busy over the next few years, he noted
In another matter, the sheriff's chief deputy received board approval for the 2013 Boat/Water Safety Grant in the amount of $6,343.
The board also accepted the resignation of part-time jailer Diane Wiss, who will fill the Isanti County Public Health administrative assistant position.
Prescribed burn
County commissioners agreed to coordinate a prescribed burn in maintaining the 1 acre of native vegetation on the south side of the government center.
In 2007, the Master Gardener program was approved to restore the single acre of turf grass into native prairie vegetation. In addition to its natural beauty, the benefits of having this acre of native prairie include helping control storm water runoff from the government center building and parking lot, along with the low cost of maintenance because it does not require weekly mowing, watering, fertilizer or use of pesticides, Isanti County Parks Director Barry Wendorf presented.
The burn will take place after regular business hours between the months of April and May. Wind direction, humidity and precipitation will determine the exact timing of the burn.
In park news, commissioners agreed to purchase two fishing blocks for $900 to be installed at Becklin Homestead County Park. A $1,000 donation has been given by the Isanti County Sportsman's Club for the purchase and installation of the blocks, Wendorf said.

Dubai, UAE, United Arab Emirates, 2008/12/04 - Emirates is to double its services between two of the fastest growing cities on earth - Dubai and Lagos.
The airline will increase its seven-times-a-week Lagos service to twice daily from February 1st next year, further supporting trade in Nigeria and expanding channels of investment between the west African nation, the UAE and beyond.
The new flight, EK 781, will depart Dubai at 1415hrs and arrive in Lagos at 1955hrs. The return flight, EK 782 will depart Lagos at 2135hrs and arrive in Dubai at 0735hrs the following day.
Under the revised schedule, the existing flight, EK783, will be brought forward slightly to depart Dubai at 0735hrs and arrive in Lagos at the earlier time of 1315hrs, providing additional scope for afternoon business appointments. The return flight, EK784, will depart at 1500hrs and arrive in Dubai at 0100hrs the following day.
Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' Senior Vice President, Africa, West Asia & Indian Ocean, said: "This is an exciting new development for Emirates in Africa, just four years after we started services to Lagos. Africa is one of the world's trading powerhouses and Emirates is supporting that commercial activity. We are seeing clear demand for more flights and that is what we are delivering. At the same time, we are improving two-way connectivity between a host of places, particularly Bahrain, Doha, Muscat, the Indian Subcontinent, East Asia and Australasia.
The Lagos route is currently served by a Boeing 777-300ER, offering 12 seats in First Class, 42 in Business and 304 in Economy. The aircraft carries the extremely popular in-flight entertainment system, ice - designed to enthral passengers across all cabin classes and make the world seem smaller as time flies by. The new service will also be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, offering a slightly enhanced capacity of 12 First, 42 Business and 310 Economy Class seats.
Mr Obaidalla said: "With the start of this double daily flight to one of Africas major freight destinations, we also expect a further increase in cargo trade. Emirates SkyCargo currently serves 15 destinations in Africa and recently strengthened its African footprint with the introduction of freighter services to Lagos. As of February 1st, our cargo capacity will jump from 280 tonnes to 440 tonnes a week."
Household goods, electronics, mobile phones, computer spare parts and clothing items are among the top commodities carried by SkyCargo into Nigeria, much of which come from India and the Far East. Main exports include Kola Nuts, tropical fish, spare parts and courier traffic, bound for Middle East and Far East markets.
"With the opening of our world leading Emirates Terminal 3, passengers from Africa and elsewhere on the airline's network, have even more reasons to fly in and out of Dubai. The new facility is exceptionally well geared to passengers, especially business travellers, who can be forgiven for thinking that Terminal 3 is a destination in itself," Mr Obaidalla added.
Flights from Dubai to Lagos as of February 1st, 2009
EK 781 departs Dubai 1415hrs - arrives Lagos 1955hrs.
EK783 departs Dubai 0735Hrs - arrives Lagos 1315hrs
Flights from Lagos to Dubai as of February 1st, 2009
EK 782 departs Lagos at 2135hrs - arrives Dubai at 0735hrs the following day.
EK784 departs Lagos 1500hrs - arrives Dubai 0100hrs the following day.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello bigwill132374, Before we go anyfurther, check the dimmer switch on the headlight switch for the dash lights. Turn it all the way one direction then the other. See if the lights come on. If not, the headlight switch is at fault. Check the dimmer first.
The the lights do not come on or flicker with the dimmer switch, check for power on the light blue/red wire from the headlight switch and see if you have power 12volts there. If not, the headlight switch may be at fault. It has a pulse with dimmer module built into it and if no power at the light blue/red wire, your headlight switch is at fault and needs to be replaced.
The dash lights are controlled by the headlight switch. The other lights can work and your dash lights can be out. The headlight light switch sends power to each circuit turning them on. The switch can be bad and your other lights can work but no dash lights.
Remove the headlight switch and check for power on the lightblue/red stripped wire. There should be 12 volts.
Also check for power winth the key on at the connectors with the listing of "POWER" in the 2 diagrams. Then with the connectors back on the switch and the lights turned on, check for power at the other pins.
This is the diagram for the dash lights to the AC controls.

This might sound crazy, but I was pretty excited when I first got my job as a woman's housing support worker in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
The neighbourhood has been pegged "Canada's poorest postal code" because of its high density of heroin addicts and homeless people. I got a job with ATIRA Women's Resource Society, the largest feminist housing agency in the area, which managed housing projects that other organizations wouldn't touch, and used the profits to fund the women's housing they operated. They made a point to hire women from all backgrounds who could bring expertise from life experience, placing value on experiential knowledge, rather than formal certifications. Even though I was getting my master's degree, I wanted to have a career in that kind of environment.
I believed I had gotten a progressive job that I could grow in, learn from, contribute to and, most importantly, use to actually make a difference in someone's life. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
Within the first few weeks on the job, I discovered that any difference I made was probably going to be made through cleaning. I thought i'd be counseling the women, but it was like being a glorified janitor. But I'd never worked in a job like this though, so at first, I thought, who knows? Maybe cleaning up the women's rooms would help them with their self-esteem and give them a clean place to sleep.
Even though I didn't interact with the clients as much as I'd thought, I eventually got to know a few of them quite well. When I met Rita, we hit it off immediately. Despite being one of the most hardcore addicts in the neighbourhood, Rita remained quick-witted and charming. I was happy to have her to talk to on my shifts because I figured I would learn something from her about addiction, or at least about how she'd ended up down there. She made me feel reassured that there was more to the job than just cleaning, and that I would learn more as I went along.
I soon discovered that the other main part the job was to break up fights and suppress acts of violence between residents. ATIRA made a big deal of talking about how we were keeping the women safe from outsiders, but a lot of the time, I was keeping the peace between the tenants, and keeping myself and the other staff members safe from them as well.
Once, a client cornered another staff member in the kitchen with a knife. I heard my colleague cry for help and I ran over and distracted the resident so the other staff member and I could run back to our office.
I slammed the door to our office as tight as I could, while the resident started to throw all of her weight into it to get at us with her knife. We yelled at her to calm down, which she eventually did. We kept the door locked until she forgot what she was doing and we heard her sit down on the stool outside our door. When we finally opened the door, she had passed out, and we just left her there for the remainder of our shift because we were too tired to deal with it.
Nobody liked to talk about how we were actually in danger on the job, but the truth is we were totally helpless in the face the ferocity of some of the women. We wouldn't call the police because we were instructed to handle emergencies ourselves — the police were considered untrustworthy because of their historically oppressive attitude toward our clients. It was a fair enough point, but the unfortunate result was that staff members sometimes ended up acting like wardens of a jail — but without the ability to properly protect ourselves, or the residents. Even if we had called the police, there wouldn't have been much they could do. They wouldn't have put the residents in jail, and we wouldn't have kicked them out — we were their home. We were the only place left for these women.
What most of the women in the house really needed were full-time doctors, nurses and psychiatrists. The area mental institution was dismantled in the late 1970s, but all that's been allowed to replace it is a transient and flexible work force. Instead of a hospital or healthcare facility for the neighbourhood, you get us — part-time musicians, artists, single moms, former addicts and a lot of social-work students who work here for slightly better money than what Starbucks has to offer.
Of course, harm-reduction work is fairly new, but there just didn't seem to be much knowledge about addiction or mental health to support us on our mission. For example, there was no training except a tour of the building and a handout on crisis management and privacy policies. So we were kind, made referrals and always listened, but that was it. When I spoke to friends who worked at other agencies, it seemed to be the same story.
Our only guideline for working day to day was to be non-judgmental and respectful of the women's right to do what they wanted. They said being hands off would empower the women by honouring their own knowledge. It was a convenient philosophy, however, because we really didn't have any authority to intervene anyway. Sometimes, there were very messy consequences. Like when Rita got a hold of some extra cash, and blew it all on a big load of drugs.
The thing was, it was our organization that gave her the opportunity. They went back in the books and realized they owed Rita some money. All the staff were reluctant to let her know about it, but in the end, the manager decided it was none of our business what she did with her own cash. It was her right to have this money, my manager said, and we couldn't dispense it to her like a child. So she was given it all in one big go, and she proceeded to spend it all in one big go, buying a huge amount of drugs in one day. She got very sick.
We all spent weeks of shifts taking care of Rita, carrying her into her room, helping her to go to the bathroom, making sure she didn't light herself on fire with her cigarette butts. Finally, someone spoke up at a staff meeting about the situation. A senior manager had come in and we told her we were concerned.
"She's a big girl," the manager said, laughing. Then she reminded us we had a lot of other things we had to deal with and that it wasn't our place to judge her choices.
She insinuated if we couldn't handle it, we should think about finding new jobs. So we handled it, but I was beginning to realize that handling it was different from making any difference in these women's lives. Cleaning rooms, stopping people from jumping out of windows and kicking drug dealers out of the place could all seem like it was helping, but it wasn't, because it wasn't really addressing the problem at all. We could kick the johns out at curfew, we could call the cops if someone set a fire, but in the end, we were totally powerless to do anything that could have lasting positive impact.
When I spoke to other workers about it, we all agreed that we could be doing more harm than good with our approach, but there weren't many other options. It was very strange to find myself swimming neck-deep in addiction and mental health issues and discover that no one was paying attention. Perhaps, somewhere, in the silos of academia, someone was reading books and theorizing about approaches to curing addiction. But while I was in the trenches, I never encountered one person, one practice or one strategy from research to help us.
Of course, you always heard about the next big project for the Downtown Eastside, announced by the directors of the community non-profits, the edgy new art galleries in the neighbourhood or even some academics, all trying to outdo each other for funding and attention. But those projects were so removed and distant from the reality of my day-to-day work — it seemed no one involved in them talked to anyone who actually worked or lived in the neighbourhood.
Once, I suggested to one of these project co-ordinators that she actually spend time in our building to better understand what it was like. She was from an outside agency, and hadn't spent any time in the neighbourhood, let alone the housing. Her eyes widened as if I'd said something downright frightening.
"I really see myself as an ideas person, you know," she replied defensively. "I'm not so into the practical side of work, like you." She said this carefully, trying not to sound above me, but failing miserably.
At the end of the day ATIRA is still doing what very few are willing to do: work with poor, drug addicted women who are hard to house and extremely vulnerable. So these new projects kept getting funded, while no one from the government, other NGOs or the university were willing to check if they were actually working, or what alternative approaches there might be.
One day, when Rita nearly stopped breathing, we called the paramedics for her. While we were waiting for them to arrive, I reached out to touch her hand for the first time ever. I had never touched a client before, but she just seemed so small, and frightened.
"Everything is going to be OK," I whispered to her as we waited for the ambulance to arrive.
I tucked my hand into hers, but as I touched her, she flinched sharply, and then her hand went limp. A deep sadness engulfed me in a surprising way. She was just so cold and unfeeling. I thought I meant something to her, but she was too far gone for that now. Maybe she always had been.
I don't know if I ever made a difference in Rita's life, but I knew that without any training or support, it was unlikely I ever would in anyone else's. There were a lot of reasons to quit the job, but when Rita finally passed away, it was like something switched off in me and I no longer felt there was a point in continuing. Of all the challenges I faced down there, the thing I couldn't handle anymore was the dishonesty of carrying on working, when I knew what I was doing wasn't working at all.

Having worked in Penang before for close to 5 years, seafood was always an abundance. There were plenty of restaurants in Penang serving fresh and reasonably priced seafood, and most of them even came with a sea view! But after moving to the bustling metropolitan that is KL, having fresh seafood with a sea view has been a rare occasion, unless we drive all the way to Kuala Selangor. Thanks to my dear friends Eric and Caroline, we were brought to this place about 30 minutes drive away with fresh seafood and an amazing river view. Cape 9 is probably only known to the older generation foodies who seem to remember obscure restaurants by heart instead of relying on the GPS. We were there just before the sun set, and were treated to a calming and serene view of the colourful sky.
View of the sunset by the river
We also spotted a boat docking just in front of the restaurant, wondering if that's the fishing boat they used to get their fresh seafood supply.
The sight of a fishing boat?
Without further ado, we ordered away, starting with some carb-laden dishes to accompany our seafood dinner. To be honest, the Fried Vermicelli (Meehoon) did not look very appealing when it was served on the table. Thankfully, what it lacked in presentation was more than made up for in its taste. What I loved the most about this plate of noodles was how it could be so tasty and yet not oily. It was fried with good skill, each strand evenly coated and no clumpy sight of noodles to be found. Of course, I wouldn't discount the fact that being the first dish on a table in front of a group of famished people, food usually would taste just a little better. 🙂
Fried Meehoon (RM10)
Another variety of the noodles was Fried Vermicelli with Clams (Lala). This plate appeared to have a darker hue, and had the additional seafood fragrance that was absent from the first dish. Don't expect to find large sizable clams though, for I could barely spot them myself. But you could tell that they're there from the taste, with the distinctive aroma of clams infused into the noodles. Well done!
Fried Meehoon with Clams / Lala (RM10)
Instead of ordering the typical deep fried squid rings, we had the Nyonya Squid. This was cooked with such a flavourful gravy that would have been perfect with rice. It was a combination of sour and spicy that mixed with the natural sweetness from the fresh squid that made the whole ensemble work. It helped too, that the squid was so chewy and bouncy!
Nyonya Squid (RM18)
The Salted Egg Prawns came with huge pieces of prawns, generously coated with salted egg. Now, many people dislike to de-shell prawns, finding it to be a messy chore. But to me, that's where the best flavour is – the shell! I love sucking the salted egg from the shell and inhaling the absolutely glorious aroma at the same time. What I usually do is to lick the shells clean first before peeling them off, and then enjoy the succulent flesh within. Really, half the fun of eating prawns lies in sucking the shells – trust me! 🙂
Salted Egg Prawns (RM35)
For something a little mild in flavour, we had Steamed Clams, which came complete with fire underneath. The clams were cooked in a gingery broth which was naturally flavoured by the sweetness of the seafood itself. Topped with some fried garlic, this simple dish served to be sort of a neutralizer in the midst of all our heavily flavoured courses.
Steamed Clams (RM20)
Clams topped with ginger and garlic
Last but not least, how could we miss out on ordering crabs? We chose the Kam Heong Crabs which were cooked with dried shrimps, curry leaves, shallots, garlic and curry powder, giving them an almost unmistakable aroma that would make even the fullest person salivate. Oh yes, it tasted as good as it smelled. Again, if you want to savour the best of the crabs, suck and lick the shells clean before de-shelling them. Half of the goodness of the crabs lie on the shell. 🙂 You'll also be glad to know that the flesh within was succulent and sweet, just how fresh seafood is meant to be.
Kam Heong Crabs (RM51)
The bill came to RM148 for the 6 of us, which was pretty reasonable considering we were all stuffed with delicious and fresh seafood.
The bill for 6 of us
Clean dining environment
If you plan to visit this place, I'd suggest you to start driving by 6pm so that you can reach there in time to watch the sun setting beyond the river. It's indeed a calming sight to behold, one especially rare if you live in the city like me.
Say goodbye to the sun

Beit El-Raseef (House of The Pavement) will host several small opening events over the next weeks, starting Wednesday, 21 February with a concert by comedic musicians Like Jelly. The space in Maadi [2] was built and renovated through the efforts of several volunteers and is currently open to the public.
According to their event information, the crew is planning to host a new activity each week to correspond with their publication El-Raseef Magazine's six sections.
The events will start with a music concert [3] to reflect their section 'Khorougat' (Outings), which is a calendar of cultural activities. The next events, yet to be announced, corresponds with the sections: 'Maharat' (Skills) to pick up new skills and hobbies, and 'Shabaket Wasl' (Network Connection), which include organisations and people in civil society and community development initiatives.
The other sections 'Gomhouryet El-Tahrir [4]' (Tahrir Republic) contains profile and opinion pieces on Egypt's current political situation, 'Hawadeet' (Stories), which feature anecdotes from Egyptian tradition and folklore, and finally 'Wasf Masr' (Description of Egypt) features travel stories from seldom visited areas in the country.
The space consists of a small handmade stage, screening rooms and a co-working community space for workshops and co-working by artists, artisans and members of civil society, along with a cafe.
Like Jelly will be playing their selection of satirical music pieces taking a critical, yet humorous look at Egypt [5]'s current political, and social situation.

Nessman's Favorite Nightmares #1: "The Evil Dead" Series [VIDEO]
I've got ongoing blogs about "Must See Comedies" and "The Ultimate Album Collection" . It then occurred to me that I'm not writing about my favorite topic of all, horror films. I've reviewed a couple of horror films, but I'd like to give you a heads up on my favorite ones of all time. In this particular case, it makes more sense to write about the entire series of films then it does to write about just one.
In this particular series, I think it's important to rate the movie as well. I always rate my horror movies on a scale of one to five "Nightmare's". In this particular case, I'm going this entire series, including the new remake "Five Nightmares". There may have been a dip here and there, but where you might see a dip in quality in one area, you'll see a strong comeback in another.
The first Evil Dead movie was a revelation. There were actually people who thought that some people might lose their minds if they saw it. A group of friends head to a secluded cabin in the woods. When one reads the words of the book of the dead aloud, invisible demons descend upon the house. This movie introduced the iconic character of "Ash".
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn featured Ash revisiting the house even though it really came off as a better made, more mass appeal version of the first movie. This version also started to include some dark humor.
Evil Dead 3, which is really known as Army Of Darkness really amps up the slapstick comedy with some moments that wouldn't be out of place in a Three Stooges skit. Some wouldn't qualify this as a "horror" movie, but since it's a continuation of the series, I don't have a real problem labeling it as such.
The new Evil Dead movie is a great re imagining. It basically uses the set up of "What if a new group of people made the same mistake as the people in the first movie did". It included many familiar elements as the original movie, but it stands on it's own and it's a violent, bloody, modern day classic.
One thing I realized from writing this, you literally could "jump in" anywhere in the Evil Dead series and you'd be fine. You don't have to have seen the previous film ina the series to enjoy the one after it and watching one of the later ones wouldn't really keep you from enjoying on of the early ones.
Some people are a little hesitant to check out old or older movies. I'm telling you as a horror fan, you wouldn't be disappointed with time spent watching ANY of these flicks.
Here's some trailers, and do keep in mind the earlier trailers are MUCH cheesier than the actual movies.

Cole joins Stoke, Modric reopens the Chelsea saga and Villa are hutting down Hutton!
It wasn't a very busy day in the transfer world, the main headline would be about Modric looking for himself and Tottenham to go their separate ways. In my opinion, the "Modric to Chelsea" story could go on for a couple of years. As Fabregas is finally set to join Barcelona, "Modric to Chelsea" will be the story for many a summer to come. Either that or the Croatian will get his wish before the new season starts with Chelsea forking out a sum in the region of £30million.
Would it be a good deal for either Chelsea or Tottenham? Well for Chelsea yes it would as they have a top replacement if Lampard gets injured again. As for Tottenham, it would be a profit of over £10million but they would be loosing one of their best players and if Bale is to join Barca next year, there may be two new selling clubs in North London, very close to each-other.
Carlton Cole leaving West Ham isn't a surprise at all. Him going to Stoke isn't a surprise either. It's a very good bit of business for the recently relegated club as £6million could help bring in a couple of players, even better then Cole might I add, that have Championship experience and could get the Hammers promoted in their first season.
Another plus for West Ham is, that's one less player on massive wages on their books. And another that could move on soon is Rob Green to West Brom. Although the Baggies are also interested in Ben Foster.
Aston Villa will have a new player by the end of the week, he goes by the name of Alan Hutton. The Scot is expected to sign a 4 year deal and join up with his former manager, Alex McLeish. Harry Redknapp doesn't seem to mind loosing a player he's had at the club for the past four years, as he wants to try and make youngster Kyle Walker his first choice Right-Back.
Some inside information for you now,
Neymar to Real Madrid either in January or next summer.
Tevez will leave to Real this summer, and the Spanish giants will end up sending over Benzema with a lot of money to the Mancunian Club.
Nasri to Manchester City.
Fabregas will go this summer to Barcelona.
Sanchez has gone to Barcelona from Udinese, but won't be confirmed until after the Copa America.

Towards the end of January, most office conversations move from New Year wishes to claiming all allowances, including leave travel allowance (LTA), before the fiscal year ends. While everyone would have heard about LTA, they may not know about finer details. Questions such as will you get an income-tax exemption for travel made by your twins, would your foreign travel be covered may bother you.
Here's a quick guide on LTA.
What is LTA?
"LTA is an allowance or amount you get from your employer to travel. You get it when you are on leave from work and actually travel. A businessman or self-employed person cannot pay himself LTA," says Amit Dani, chartered accountant and certified financial planner, Think Consultants, a financial planning firm.
Shyamal Banerjee/Mint
Some companies give LTA even to ex-employees post-retirement or after their services are terminated.
LTA is exempt from tax under certain conditions. As the name suggests, it covers only travel expenses and not other expenses such as boarding and food.
Who can be included?
In order to claim LTA, you can travel alone or with your family. Says Anil Rego, chartered accountant and CEO of Right Horizons, an investment advisory and wealth management firm, "Family means your spouse, children, dependent parents as well as brothers and sisters who are your dependants. Exemption is allowed for up to two children, if the children are born after 1 October 1998." However, if your children were born before October 1998 then, you can claim an exemption for any number of children; even multiple births (twins, triplets) after the first child are accepted.
Says Rego, "Children can be adult children as well since the law does not specify the age of the children." So if you have an 18-year-old, who is a college student and is not a tax assessee, you can include him as well.
Says Parizad Sirwalla, tax partner, KPMG, an audit and consulting firm, "If your family travels without you, it may be advisable not to claim an LTA for that journey because the tax law says the employee should proceed on leave to any place in India. If you travel alone, you can claim an LTA. If you are claiming for the family, you should travel with them."
Where can you travel?
To avail the scheme, you have to be on leave and travel to any place in India. The Income-tax Act does not specify the minimum number of leaves to avail the LTA exemption. However, your company may have a set number of leaves you need to avail to claim an exemption. So check with your employer. LTA is not given for foreign trips. The exemption is available for any journey made by air, road or rail anywhere in India.
Air travel: Economy class fare of a national carrier via the shortest route is allowed.
Rail travel: Air-conditioned (AC) first class rail fare via the shortest route is allowed.
Other modes: If a recognized public transport exists on the route you travel, then up to first class deluxe fare is allowed. Else, an amount equivalent to the AC first class rail fare is paid. Other modes of travel includes, bus and rented vehicles.
You must take the shortest route to get the LTA benefit.
If you've travelled to multiple destinations, the place that is farthest from your residence will be considered for calculating the exemption amount.
When can you claim?
There are predetermined blocks of four calendar years; the first block began in 1986 to 1989, the next block was 1990 to 1993 and so on. You can claim exemption for up to two journeys in a block of four calendar years.
Sirwalla says, "You can claim exemption for up to two journeys in a block of four calendar years. The current block is 2010 to 2013." Simply put, if you have claimed an LTA exemption in 2010, then you can claim one more till 2013.
If you are not able to make a claim in a block, there is a carry forward facility available. Sirwalla says, "You can carry forward one journey, that too only in the first calendar year in the next block of four years." So in such a case, in the next block, you can claim three LTA exemptions in total.
How to make a claim?
Give a written declaration to your employer with travel details and the amount spent. As per the Supreme Court, if you submit a declaration stating the amount you spent, you don't need to give the actual bills. We recommend you do keep the tickets handy in case your employer or the tax authorities need to see it later.
If both spouses are eligible for LTA: Both the spouses can claim LTA individually. Dani says, "But both can't claim LTA for the same journey."
What happens if you don't travel at all?
Rego says, "If you do not travel, you will still get the LTA amount, but you will have to pay tax on the same based on your tax bracket."
You can get exemption only for the amount you are eligible for and the actual amount spent on travelling. So, if your LTA amount is Rs 15,000 but you've spent Rs 20,000, you will get an exemption only for Rs 15,000. Alternately, in case you spent only Rs 10,000, you will get an exemption for Rs 10,000 only. You will have to pay tax on the remaining Rs 5,000.
Now that you know about LTA and finer details about exemptions, make sure you put this information to use. And may be even show off around your office coffee machine discussions on tax related topics.
