The bill would give between $300 to $970 in state sales tax refunds to low-income workers and families who qualify.
People can already apply for a credit on federal sales taxes. In about 30 states, but not Washington, there is also a state tax credit available.
Democratic state Rep. Debra Entenman of Kent says offering the refund in Washington could significantly help some families.
This is one of the first bills she has introduced as a new legislator — and it has nearly three dozen sponsors. Entenman is hopeful the bill will pass, but says she's not going to get overly confident.
Entenman's version, HB 1527, would make credits available to households with a maximum income between $40,000 and 54,884, depending on the size of the family.
It would offer the credit to people who do not quality for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), including workers under 25 who don't have children, immigrant workers and workers past retirement age who don't have children.
The average refund would be $350, according to Entenman's office.


The proliferation of older Americans places a big burden right now on all breadwinners in their prime productive years (20 through 65), Lenihan asserts. According to the PRB, by 2030 there will be only 2.8 working-age adults for every person 65 and older, down from 5.0 in 2000.
Because of this, today's working-age citizens, now building our economy and their own economic futures, will be hit by a double-whammy, according to Lenihan.
Additional information is available from Lenihan at jennifer.lenihan@acsiapartners.com, http://www.LTCRider.com or (631) 262-7167.


Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a greased baking tin with baking paper and grease more with non-stick spray.
1. Mix the nuts and oats and divide into two equal portions.
2. Process one portion in a food processor until as fine as flour.
3. Pulse the rest of the nuts and oats until slightly finer.
4. Mix the two portions and add the chia seeds and coconut.
5. Heat the coconut oil, honey and cinnamon together until runny. Pour over the oats and nut mixture and mix well.
6. Spoon into the prepared tin and press down firmly. Bake for 15 minutes or until firm. Allow to cool.
7. Topping Melt the chocolate and spread over the granola. Sprinkle almond, coconut and sea salt flakes over and cool until firm. Cut into bars.


Today, in addition to the usual laundry and cleaning and editing and all that other crap, I decided to record one of my daughter's bedtime stories, complete with "turn the page" sound effects and a lush musical score by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

No less than 2000 E2 meat crates per hour!

Removing the stickers from 2000 E2 crates per hour.
Stickers can be placed on the two short sides at any random spot.
Prevent an increased usage of water.
Prevent failures as a result of sticker residue flying about.
UNIKON solution: A double track machine to spray off the stickers during the pre-wash at a low pressure as a result of the combined functioning of the number of nozzles, quantity of water and setting.
As the sticker remains are discharged via a drum filter, the maintenance of the pumps is relatively low. If we were to remove the stickers in the traditional way, using a high pressure milling cutter, the usage of clean water would be extremely high, as well as the maintenance costs. Cleaning the machine would take a lot of time due to sprayed off sticker residue left behind.

Crystal Bell Talks Twin Peaks
Taxonomy 1: Feature
Posted September 12, 2018 by Paula Hammond - Features Editor
This September, the Twin Peaks Festival comes to London, with two days of Lynch-ian inspired fun… and lashings of damn fine coffee. Ahead of the festival FilmJuice chatted to Chrysta Bell, who played Special Agent Tamara Preston.
Tell us what you're looking forward to about coming to London and attending the official Twin Peaks UK Festival?
Twin Peaks fans are "in it to win it", heart and soul. Twin Peaks UK Festival creates an opportunity for the fans to be ignited together in their excitement and unbridled enthusiasm. There is a bond that is inherent in people who really love and connect to the world of Twin Peaks before they even meet – and this is a pretty rare, special and fascinating thing to explore when we get together. I am one of those die- hard fans myself now, and I am looking forward to celebrating this connection to the fans as someone who is part of the show as well as a fan herself. Also, in my personal experience, where there are Peakies gathered, there are often strange and interesting occurrences; statistically implausible "alignments" that happen. I look forward to seeing what unusual things may transpire on this adventure.
Will it be your first visit to the UK? If not, tell us about your last visit.
"I am primarily a musician (Twin Peaks: The Return is my first TV acting role) and I've had the great fortune of visiting the UK more times than I can count while on tour with my band over the last six years. In my recent tour last April I had the fantastic experience of selling out a show at the 100 Club in London as well as great gigs at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh and Oran Mor in Glasgow. My most special UK experience however was in February of 2016 when I spent several weeks in Bristol recording my full-length studio album, We Dissolve, with the wildly accomplished and Mercury-Prize-winning producer, John Parish.
Describe your character of Special Agent Tamara Preston.
I'll defer to FBI Director Gordon Cole's (played David Lynch) statement about her: "Tammy's got the stuff." I can elaborate by saying she is a dedicated and passionate FBI Agent who takes her position very seriously. She's intensely curious and gives considerable effort to getting to the bottom of the mysteries around her. She's cool under pressure. Looks can be deceiving as her FBI uniform would be well suited for the likes of Jessica Rabbit, however, Tammy Preston is all business.
What was it like performing in Twin Peaks: The Return?
"Knowing that I would become a part of the Twin Peaks Universe was an all encompassing emotional roller coaster. I was thrilled that it was my destiny to be involved in the continuation of a series that was so significantly influential on pop culture on a global scale, but I was also terrified at the prospect of having a big role in something that was passionately beloved by so many people. The pressure was immense. So much could go right, and so much could go wrong! The filming itself was something of an out-of-body affair. It's was so overwhelming emotionally in some moments that I just had to zen out or be eaten up inside with anxiety. Fortunately my nature is to perform well under pressure, but that trait was pushed to its limits. Even so, I enjoyed every millisecond of the experience and wouldn't trade it for the world."
What's next for you Chrysta Bell?"
I am currently finishing writing my new record and will be recording next month in Austin, Texas, with my incredible band. The albums I made with David Lynch, This Train (2011) and Somewhere In The Nowhere (2016), were dreamy, ethereal and cosmic while my record with John Parish, We Dissolve (2017),had more of an edge to it, with elements of jazz, rock and soul. The new record I'd classify more as noir pop, with elements of new wave and post punk. The music is coming along beautifully and it's super fulfilling to be creating art that I am really passionate about. I'm going to have some very special guests on the album as well. Stay tuned and check on my website www.chrystabell.com for details and release dates.
Twin Peaks UK Festival runs from September 29th and 30th at the London Irish Centre and Camden Square Gardens, 50-52 Camden Square, London NW1 9XB

Vinci Airports, the Portuguese airport concession awardee, has entrusted Ikusi with a global security project integrating and interconnecting its different subsystems (CCTV, FAS and ACS) for single-platform management – a solution that increases airport security levels with a minimal impact on its operative processes and, as a result, on passenger satisfaction.
The solution implemented by Ikusi at the Lisbon airport combines its proprietary base technology Armadillo with the reference technology on the market. Thus, under the same umbrella, the platform integrates CCTV (Genetec), FAS (Siemens) and ACS (Ikusi) systems.
This solution is specially designed to provide real-time airport security management support and ensure the optimal operation of the entire set of systems and subsystems under a single supervision and control platform.
To achieve this, the Ikusi solution provides a global view of the airport over a single intuitive graphic interface and, thanks to map browsing, enables interaction with all the devices of the subsystems integrated, triggering measures in various security systems.
The Ikusi security solution eliminates the need to have more than one Control Center, as well as the need to inspect and correlate data manually or compile data from multiple security systems.

Reading from the Torah scroll is a daunting task. Without punctuation, vowels or musical notes ,correct reading requires much practice and/or an excellent memory.
My memory is average and my patience for much repetition is limited. Yet, when asked to read at a Romemu service, I enthusiastically agreed.
Past demands to read were compromised; I made every effort to ensure the accurate pronunciation of the text while being lax about the musical rendition. Somehow congregations didn't mind. This time however, I was determined to read the selection with perfection. I rehearsed it sufficiently and stood by the rabbi as I read.
I felt a hand on my back-it was that of Rabbi David, subtly supporting my effort.His touch was calming and reassuring, making my reading experience one without fear but filled with sacred delight.
I returned to my seat. The service continued. My son stood at my side. I felt an arm around my shoulder. He placed his arm around me and we prayed in that special embrace of father and son.
Receiving those gifts of authentic concern and love by way of an ordinary touch was the singular reason for the sacred gratefulness of that Sabbath day.
Reach out and touch someone- it is a gift beyond words.


How many times in your practice do you wish that you could subpoena a telephone company, a cellular provider, an ISP providing email and Internet service? EBay and PayPal? The list goes on. Finding the right office or person to serve can be pretty frustrating, if not downright impossible.
The ISP List in the toolbox is, therefore, a very valuable tool. You'll find contact information for those who can accept service of subpoenas for cellphone and regular phone service, for Internet service providers, credit card companies, etc.

Roane County, TN Defendant Tells Judge: "I Would Like a Competent Attorney Who is Not Corrupt"
On Wednesday, April 20, 2016 No Comment
FOUR-YEAR-OLD CASE CONTINUES WITH NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY EVIDENCE "EVIDENTLY" TAMPERED WITH
(Apr. 20, 2016) — On Friday, Roane County, TN citizen Roy Cook attended a scheduled hearing in a case arising in April 2013 charging him with extortion which has not yet gone to trial.
Roane County is one of four counties in Tennessee's Ninth Judicial District, located in the eastern part of the state. The Post & Email first reported on the case in June of last year.
Roy Cook was indicted by the Roane County grand jury nearly four years ago. Its foreman, Charles C. Snow, has held the position for more than two decades, a violation of the Fifth Amendment which Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III of neighboring McMinn County has attempted to bring to the public's attention since September 2009. Fitzpatrick is now serving a three-year sentence for "extortion" and "aggravated perjury" for seeking a hearing before the McMinn County grand jury to testify about public corruption, including that alleged on the part of then-foreman Jeffrey L. Cunningham.
Tennessee lawmakers have refused to address the issue of longstanding grand jury foremen throughout the state and judges working outside of the confines of the state constitution, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. In 1919, the Tennessee legislature passed a law condoning the appointment of grand jury foremen by criminal court judges from outside of the jury pool which an 1883 state supreme court ruling did not contemplate.
The result is that every indictment issued by a Tennessee grand jury is questionable because of undue influence from the foreman, who in essence works for the judge.
The state's mainstream media has been hesitant to report on the systemic corruption within the judicial system, perhaps out of fear of retaliation.
Roy Cook's case, now entering its fourth year without resolution, raises a Sixth Amendment question regarding "the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."
While appearing in front of Judge Jeffrey Wicks on Friday, Cook, whose third attorney, Alan Moore, withdrew last week, submitted a Motion to Dismiss, citing a number of alleged violations on the part of the prosecution, which has been conducted by Ninth Judicial District Assistant District Attorney General Robert Edwards under District Attorney General Russell Johnson.
Roy Cook's case was first assigned to public defender Walter C. Johnson, after which Cook accused Walter Johnson of having taken no action to defend him over a 14-month period. Last May, after Johnson withdrew, he declined comment to The Post & Email.
The case was then reassigned to private practitioner Joshua Hedrick of Whitt Cooper Trant & Hedrick in Knoxville at the county's expense.
On August 24, 2015, at his client's urging, Hedrick submitted three respective subpoenas to the Roane County court clerk seeking Yahoo emails exchanged between former Ninth Judicial District investigator Jeff Vittatoe and Cook's accuser, his twin brother Andrew Cook; records from Proximiti Communications and Verizon Wireless. However, according to Roy Cook, Hedrick did not subpoena Vonage phone logs for calls made by Andrew Cook which Roy Cook believes would exonerate him of the extortion charge until Roy Cook "made an issue of it in front of Judge Eblen."
Eblen served as a Tennessee judge for five decades before retiring on December 31.
"He [Hedrick] had originally agreed to do so in May (I have emails to prove it) but at a hearing on June 22 when I discovered he hadn't I asked Judge Eblen to order him to do so and before the judge could respond he claimed he would do that in the next few days," Roy Cook told The Post & Email on Tuesday.
Roy Cook Request for 3 subpoenas Hedrick
Notably, Vittatoe had used a personal email address to communicate with Andrew Cook, as shown in initial discovery documents.
Earlier this month, the case was reassigned to Alan Moore of Lenoir City, Loudon County, who has now also withdrawn.
Roy Cook told The Post & Email that Hedrick failed to subpoena emails received by an FBI agent from Andrew Cook which allegedly show a contradiction between Andrew Cook's story at the time and that which he told Vittatoe in 2013. As to the reason he believes Hedrick withdrew from representing him, Roy Cook said, "He withdrew because I refused to go to trial without the FBI agents' records as well as the other subpoenaed evidence….I can't seem to get an answer from him, or Moore either, as to why they won't help me obtain the FBI's records."
Roy Cook recently found that Yahoo's law enforcement compliance policy states that emails are preserved for a four-month period only.

On April 1, Roy Cook wrote the following to Hedrick:
…there is the issue of multiple pieces of exculpatory evidence being withheld and concealed. Judge Eblen ordered Edwards to turn over the non-redacted emails last year and we still do not have them. I doubt very much Edwards looked too hard like maybe requesting it from the plaintiff. In addition to the emails, the prosecution needs to turn over ALL evidence it has withheld including but not limited to the following.
1. The Vonage phone logs supplied to the prosecution by plaintiff as well as page 2 of the "Vonage phone records from Andrew Cook-victim"
2. The results and dates of the forensic analysis of the computers and other electronic devices that were seized from my home. I believe it was Lt. Dan Schneider that did the analysis.
3. The names of all other law enforcement agencies and their employees that plaintiff made statements to including but not limited to FBI agent Clay Anderson in Knoxville Tn. I only reveal this now, because of the statement Edwards made at the 11/16/15 hearing, I'm sure he already knows about him. I would just like to know if he always knew or if Hedrick violated attorney/client priviledge. I would welcome a response to this query by Mr. Edwards.
4. A legitimate Bill of Particulars that shows specifically each piece of evidence you have to support each allegation. The one that was put together in a rush on 2/15/16 is insufficient. Especially since it was originally requested 9 months earlier.
5. Any records or communications between the prosecution, defense, and plaintiff pertaining to cancelling of a phone number issued from Vonage in an attempt to conceal exculpatory evidence from the defendant.
Hedrick withdrew from the case in February, shortly after a Bill of Particulars, long sought by Roy Cook, was produced by the prosecution. At that time, trial was scheduled for April 15.
More recently, Roy Cook told Moore:
Also, Mr. Moore, you can consider this a formal request for you to follow up on the subpoenas that I requested. If these documents disappear because of your lack of action then I will be filing a complaint with the Board of Professional Responsibility against you as well as Hedrick and Walter Johnson, since none of you can seem to give me a valid reason why you won't or didn't follow up on them. Hedrick and Johnson had months to follow up and Hedrick kept promising he would do so.
Roy Cook then wrote to Edwards and Moore:
In addition to all of the above, Mr. Moore and Mr. Edwards, I need to schedule a time to review the prosecution's file and ALL the evidence in your possession as well as discuss why the prosecution has failed to abide by the rule to supply all exculpatory evidence to the defense.
On Monday, speaking of Edwards, Roy Cook told The Post & Email:
Also, in court Friday he claimed he had never heard of any Vonage Logs before that day. I also attached an email I sent to him and Hedrick both where I state…. "In addition, I am attaching a phone record that references recorded phone calls however, 1 4 6 7 and 8 are missing. Please send the missing pages or an explanation as to why they are missing. Please also send the record these were obtained thru."…… this email is dated 2/22/16 so what he said to the judge was a lie.
…Edwards claims he can't find the non-redacted email. why can't he subpoena it from EarthLink like I am trying to do??? I can't get it now because Demarkis at EarthLink won't discuss it with me but with an attorney only and although I have multiple emails where Hedrick said he would call Demarkis, he never did. they must really not want me to have that email.
After the extortion charge was issued against Roy Cook, his computers were confiscated by Vittatoe and not returned for 20 months. However, when Roy Cook asked for a computer forensics report on Friday, he related that "Edwards the prosecutor actually admits he knows nothing about any forensic analysis or Andrew's Vonage logs."
During the hearing, Roy Cook observed that an individual who pleaded guilty to "tampering with evidence" received two years' probation but that prosecutors who commit the same crime, which is a felony, enjoy "prosecutorial immunity."
"Right before I got up there, here this poor girl is, getting two years' probation, then Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, meaning Bob Edwards, the prosecutor, and Alan Moore, are before the judge…and the judge was not even aware that Alan Moore had filed a motion to be removed on Wednesday. He probably didn't have my Motion to Dismiss, either, because I only served that Tuesday afternoon. That's why Alan Moore decided to resign. So Alan Moore went on, and he said, 'We came to an impasse…' because he didn't want to file the Motion to Dismiss, the FBI agent's statement, or anything. Then the judge looked at me and said, 'What do you have to say?' and I said, 'Your Honor, I know this looks like I'm the bad guy here, but every attorney I've had, from Walter Johnson to Josh Hedrick to Alan Moore, didn't do anything. They have been part of an ongoing campaign to conceal evidence. The reason they're concealing the evidence — they don't care whether or not it proves me innocent, but if it proves me innocent, it would expose the prosecution as being corrupt in concealing evidence, which could affect cases down the road.' There was a big audience behind me, including Hedrick and Walter Johnson. I said, 'Your Honor, I have been told by my last two attorneys that a contradictory statement made by the plaintiff to an FBI agent is irrelevant to my case. Can you please explain to me why that is irrelevant? I don't understand that. My twin brother told one story to an FBI agent and another story to the Ninth District prosecutor, and this is not pertinent information? They didn't find the FBI agent, Your Honor; I did.'"
Roy Cook also said that he told Wicks that Walter Johnson and Hedrick violated attorney-client privilege. "On November 16, we were sitting in the hearing in front of Judge Eblen, and Eblen ordered Edwards to turn over the non-redacted email. Isn't it important to know who whited out the email?" Roy Cook said he asked Wicks. "Your Honor, they haven't turned it over; they claim they can't find it; OK…everything they've used against me is emails and phone records, but I'm not being allowed to submit emails and phone records in my defense."
Roy Cook said he further told Wicks:
Either Edwards knew about the FBI agent before I discovered him, or Josh Hedrick ratted it out and broke privilege. Because Bob Edwards stood up there on November 16 in front of Judge Eblen and then, referencing the redacted email, he said, "Your Honor, it wouldn't matter if the name on that email was an FBI agent or other law enforcement agency." I said, "Where did he get 'FBI' from, Your Honor? The only thing mentioning anything about the FBI was between me and my attorney. So Hedrick ratted me out. I have an email from Hedrick to me that will prove that these guys are pursuing this case because I did an interview. They're saying I forced their hand because they don't want to look bad, so they are going to prosecute a case they know is bogus because I exercised my First Amendment right.
And the judge said, "Do you want to represent yourself?" and I said, "Your Honor, I would like a competent attorney who is not corrupt."
"So are you saying we have corruption?" the judge responded. Then Edwards chimed in with, "So Walter Johnson, Josh Hedrick and myself are all corrupt?" and I said, "Yes," and I looked at Edwards and said, "Explain to me why the emails would be whited out? Where is the forensic analysis of the computers?" and he said, "There was no forensic analysis," although according to the Evidence Log there was.
The case has been continued to July 5.

1. How to indicate location?
Address or map coordinates? How does one find map coordinates? What happens when he moves?
2. How to associate location with products?
If a vendor has all inventory at a single location then the location can be #FIXED in his DTD. If inventory is distributed around the globe, each product or inventory group will have to be marked. The problem is that now it makes no sense to indicate physical location. It will have to be a store code which causes problem with search services since store codes will have to be converted into location format used by the search service.
As far as time constraints go, each product will probably be marked with time. The problem is that some time constraints are relative in nature.
*Ouch* I just thought of another painful problem with prices. What happens when a store wants to put on a sale? His database of products will have to map to different pricing schemes constrained by time, location, or association.

Mental capacity act: - The Mental Capacity Act covers what procedure to follow for health and social care agencies with regard to medication management in relation to the mental capacity of an individual. In relation to prescribing the act says medication can only be prescribed to an individual without that persons consent when the person's lack of capacity is beyond that they can understandingly agree. In regards to administration if the person does not have the mental capability to administer their own medicine, the medication should always be administered by adequately trained, competent staff member.

Due to the lower pitch and the pear-shaped bell the English horn sounds darker and more powerful than the oboe. The timbre remains relatively homogeneous in all registers, so the transition between registers is smooth.
Sounds warm, intense and rather dull. At piano levels the effect is mellow, played forte the rough, shawm-like characteristics are more in evidence. The lowest notes are sometimes compared to stopped horn notes. It is not possible to play pianissimo in this register.
The most frequently used register on the English horn and a downward extension of the oboe. The sound is very versatile; it can express a wide variety of feelings, from melancholy and despair to carefree merriment and mischievous abandon. The sound seems to come from a long way away which makes it ideal for the creation of sentimental and nostalgic moods. This is why it is a favorite of composers for the performance of lyrical, expressive and melancholy airs, though it is also used for pastoral, merry, archaic and exotic motifs.
The high notes sound acerbic and insistent; penetrating when played forte.

Title: On the Empirical Association between Trade Network Complexity and Global Gross Domestic Product
Authors: Mayank Kejriwal, Yuesheng Luo
Abstract: In recent decades, trade between nations has constituted an important component of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with official estimates showing that it likely accounted for a quarter of total global production. While evidence of association already exists in macro-economic data between trade volume and GDP growth, there is considerably less work on whether, at the level of individual granular sectors (such as vehicles or minerals), associations exist between the complexity of trading networks and global GDP. In this paper, we explore this question by using publicly available data from the Atlas of Economic Complexity project to rigorously construct global trade networks between nations across multiple sectors, and studying the correlation between network-theoretic measures computed on these networks (such as average clustering coefficient and density) and global GDP. We find that there is indeed significant association between trade networks' complexity and global GDP across almost every sector, and that network metrics also correlate with business cycle phenomena such as the Great Recession of 2007-2008. Our results show that trade volume alone cannot explain global GDP growth, and that network science may prove to be a valuable empirical avenue for studying complexity in macro-economic phenomena such as trade.

What will be the worst movie of 2009?
By Obi Chris Kenobi, January 15, 2009 in Television & Film
DarKnight 0
Just got back from seeing Knowing. Add it to the pool of contenders. I don't know if I'd rate it worse than Street Fighter, I'll have to give that some thought. No way I watch both of them again anytime soon though, so I'll only be able to judge from the initial viewings. What a pile of crap this film was. I think I'll elaborate later today, I need to go to bed.
Phew what a pile of shit though, and I don't forsee 2012 being able to take the title of 'worst end of the world' movie for the year.
I've been making fun of that movie Knowing ever since I saw the first ad! I was like "well, here's Nic Cage in movie about the end of the world, so what's it called?" Then the words Knowing go across the screen, and I'm thinking "Knowing? That's the best title they can come up with?" I think it's kinda sad that Alex Proyas directed that movie, I thought he actually did good stuff. To show you Roger Ebert's state of mind, he gave Knowing 4 stars.
Is Knowing bad in the unintentionally funny way or bad in the this shit sucks way? I ask because Wicker Man with Cage was hated by critics yet I enjoyed the movie for its unintentional humor.
I read some amazing spoilers for Knowing, including the ending in which
the world actually ends and aliens show up to pick up some kids and bunny rabbits. Not to mention a plane crash where people survive the crash landing long enough to run around on fire while Academy Award Winner Nicholas Cage shouts "Hey! Hey!" at them.

Nope, you pretty much hit in on the nose
. Knowing was the worst movie I have ever seen in theatre. The previous one was Speed 2, and as God as my witness this was one shitty movie.
I saw Miss March. It's awful, but not worst movie of the year

There's got to be a twist.

I await the DVD release of Knowing since there is a 1000% certainty there will be a RiffTrax for it.
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.d...VIEWS/903189991
I know that not everyone usually agrees with his reviews, but Ebert gave Knowing ****. I haven't seen it, and I probably won't until the DVD release, but the spoilers make it sound laughably bad.
Smues 0
an extensive arial offence
Ebert is beyond done as a good critic. I loved the guy, but he's been done for a couple of years now. It does sort of surprise me that he gave it 4 stars, as his usual MO is to give awful movies that he's decided he has to give a thumbs up 3 stars, his threshold for thumbs up. And I'm not even sure why he decided to love this one. My guess is because it's an end of the world movie, but this time it's not man caused so I dunno why he'd love it. Apparently his review website is down, so I'll have to read it later. Remember when he gave The Happening 3 stars, basically because he liked the idea of the Earth fighting back? Yeesh.
Ok, Knowing. For starters the tag line on the posters was "What happens when the numbers run out?" So you know it's going to suck based just off of that. If this movie doesn't get a Rifftrax then there is no justice in this world, but then again they haven't done Ghost Rider yet either.
This movie make no damn sense. The whole plot of the movie is that fifty years ago some kids made a time capsule at their school. Now it is opened and there's a letter in there with a zillion number. The numbers list out dates and the amount of people that die that day in a big tragedy. It basically lists every mass death in the last 50 years, plus three that are yet to come. Ok so that's what the trailers showed up, and that's what got idiots like me to go see it. Well, the whole list is COMPLETELY POINTLESS.
It's aliens. God damned aliens called 'the whisper people' told the numbers to the girl who wrote them down. The three events that haven't happened yet are a plane crash, a subway crash, and the end of the world. There isn't a way to prevent the end of the world, and all the aliens do is take some kids away to a new planet so the human race can survive. So WHAT THE FUCK was the point of the list? It's not like the aliens couldn't take the children anyway. So basically the main hook of this movie is bullshit and just a waste of two hours.
And how in the hell the aliens know all this is never addressed. The end of the Earth thing I get, they could have advanced science and been able to figure out the sun was going to go nuts. But how in the hell do they know about the terrorists going into the twin towers, and hotel fires? If the aliens are that advanced that they can predict the future crystal clearly, you'd think they have a better plan than to put a bunch of numbers in a time capsule and then abduct kids and rabbits. And I'm not sure if the list was specifically meant to be used by Cage or not, but I'd have to guess so, given how smart the aliens are. But again, WHY? Nic can't stop the plane crash, nor the subway crash, nor the end of the world. And let's say the list doesn't exist, so what would happen? The aliens would take the kids and the only difference is Cage doesn't know what happens to his son, and the annoying chick might not die in a car crash. When the truck hit her car I resisted the urge to audibly cheer, but I did pump my fist. Hey if it takes a truck to shut her screaming up I'll take it.
Also, for no reason that was explained, the aliens (who look like the albino from the Davinci Code) keep hanging around Cage's kid. Standing out in the woods and what not. Oh and giving the kid little black rocks. They act like the rocks have some big meaning, but they end up just being all over the ground where the aliens ship is. What the fuck was the point of that?
And then there's the plane crash. For starters, this pretty much confirms the aliens can see the future crystal clear, because despite not knowing that the magic list contains GPS coordinates for all these disasters, Cage finds him self EXACTLY AT THE SPOT of the first predicted event that hasn't happened yet: a plane crash. And let me say the entire sequence may be the worst scene I've seen in a major Hollywood film. Everything about it was just awful. From the crash itself, to the shaky camera as Cage runs directly towards to, to the zillion random explosions that keep happening, oh and don't forget all the flaming bodies! It's hard to explain, you just have to see it. The scene was just beyond awful for every painful second it was on the screen.
Oh and did I mention that Cage's dad is a preacher but the prior year Cage's wife died in a fire so if he had any faith he lost it? And he happens to now believe that everything that happens is completely random? How whacky that a guy with those beliefs would find a pre-determined list of events! And oh ho ho his wife's fire was on the list too! Wow how surprising! Oh wait, did I say surprising? I think I meant lazy screen writing. My bad.
Oh and the aliens, we see way too much of them and for no apparent reason most of the time. They just keep showing up and mentally talking to the kid. Oh and there's the scene where one shows up in the kids bedroom, and just points to the mirror. That was odd. Then the kid watches the end of the world through the mirror? Why waste time with that when you could just grab the kid for your ship now? And back to that god damned list. The last hidden piece of it was a location for the end of the world date. And it leads to the alien spaceship. Again, WHY? The aliens get the kids themselves, all this does is allow Cage to find them and say good bye to his kid. WHY? Why would the aliens make this stupid list.
And so the ending is the Sun is going to rape the Earth and burn everything, so the aliens need to get some kids (and rabbits for some reason) off the planet. Ok whatever. But they tell the kid that it's kids who heard the whispers only and no adults. Why? They give no adequate reason why Cage can't go along. And after they bring the kids to their new planet the aliens INSTANTLY leave, so the kids are left alone to fend for themselves. Wouldn't having an adult or two, especially say an MIT professor like Cage, around to educate and watch out for the kids be a smart movie? I just don't get it.
And the entire end of the movie is pointless. You've long since figured out EXACTLY what's going to happen, but we still have to spend 20 minutes watching it, and it couldn't be more boring. The alien ship takes FOREVER to land and takeoff, and it's just incredibly boring. And that really should have been the end with the ship leaving, complete with the aliens showing their true forms, and ascending with wings, like angels. Yes, wings. GET IT? But no we get Cage on the ground crying, then waking up and driving through mobs of people, getting his sister, and going home to his parents to all die together. And then we watch fire destroy everything. Ok movie over. Nope, now we watch the kids land on their new planet. I'm guessing the last scene with the kids running towards a giant tree is supposed to mean something, but I didn't get whatever they were going for. Is it the mana tree? Is it an Ent? What the hell is going on?
If I watched this a second time I'd have plenty more I'm sure to write about, since I know I'm forgetting a lot. Like how the music and acting try to make every little thing super serious. I want those two hours of my life back. Please?

So basically it's a mash-up of all the very worst ideas that M. Night Shyamalan ever had? Awesome. I like this "Smues dies for our sins by going to watch some shockingly horrible movie, and then resurrects to come back and bitch about it at length" deal. Also, nothing new there about Ebert, the man gave Anaconda three and a half stars, sometimes he just falls in love with some bullshit.
Anaconda is one of the best guilty pleasures though, so I can understand why Ebert loved that. If you want to talk about a movie Ebert liked for a reason I can't figure out, how about Spawn? I think he gave that three and a half as well. And wow, what Smues said about Knowing makes this movie look even worse and unintentionally funny more so than that Wicker Man remake. I was pretty much laughing out loud during those spoilers.

Next week I expect to get dragged to 12 Rounds, so my pain can be other people's gain! Plus I just realized that Dragonball comes out on April 8th. I wasn't thinking it would be out until June or July. I can't wait.
All this weekly bad movie talk (and a previous post I made about my SCENE Card) reminds me of the good ol days before a bunch of people I knew moved on with their lives after graduating University. We saw The Condemned and Kickin' It Old School on the same day!

The Condemned stands out as the creepiest movie audience I've been a part of. Not because of anything they said or anything but solely because of the fact that the audience consisted of me, a friend, and four or five middle aged guys sitting by themselves. It probably looked like a porno movie audience to the usher.
Is it ahead of either Street Fighter or New in Town? And have you decided between those two which is worse yet?

When I went to see Miss March (which isnt completely horrible), there were five people in the theater. It was me, my friend, some creepy old guy who looked like he was about 80 sitting right behind us in an empty theater, and then some lady in the very back who brought some other lady who was probably 100 years old and didn't seem to have a clue where she even was let alone that she was supposed to be watching a movie. It was creepy.
Street Fighter is worse than New In Town. Miss March is better than both.
Miss March was: me, some guy who watched the movie lying down, and two parents who brought their 2-year old child.
No, I'm not making that up. They brought their 2-year old to see Miss March.
The movie's awful, but I laughed at a few scenes and Darryl from The Office is always good for something. The main character looks like dge.
Nearly every R rated movie I've seen in a theatre has has somebody bringing a little kid (sometimes kids) along with them. I'm starting to wonder if it's some kind of rule. There were a lot of parents who brought their youngest children to see "Watchmen" when I saw it.
The only times this hasn't happened is the few limited release movies I've seen (including "Mullberry Street", whose audience was made up of me and two other guys) and "The Rules of Attraction," in which I was the only person in said theatre.

Smues was totally right about Knowing, it was just laughingly bad though, like so bad I still found it perversely entertaining in a total unintentional humor kind of way. Alot of the crowd seemed to, as well, including audible groans followed by laughter when it started to get really REALLY bad into 2/3 of the movie. The acting here was just jaw dropping awful though too (but then again, given the script, do you blame them?), with pretty much nobody in the cast as an exception. The character Cage played was cowboying a bottle of whiskey during most of the movie, and I wonder if he really DID have whiskey the entire time of filming, as he really phoned this in, big time. The female lead was extremely annoying to the point where once something significantly bad happened to her, like Smues stated, you literally wanted to cheer. But the story ultimately made no sense and that ending, oh that ending. I have no fucking idea what a
golden tree that the kids immediately recognize and run madly towards is supposed to mean?
The only really positive from the film was that the effects seemed to be pretty good in terms of the major disasters that occured in the movie. But at the same time, after the disasters happened, how they filmed the aftermath of those disasters, in terms of how they had Nicolas Cage's role in it, was just so beyond absurdly bad you just had to laugh about it all.
I'd actually recommend seeing this, at least when it's out on DVD, just for the sheer "so bad it's good" factor.

Isn't 12 rounds supposed to be quite good? At least, by WWE movie standards. Cena's not a great actor, but from what I've seen he's not embarressingly bad either, mainly because he just sticks to what he's good at. If he had to play a doctor or a lawyer then he'd be terrible. Even the clips I've seen make it look mildly interesting.
Of course I saw one kind of funny clip where the girlfriend is like 'he's totally going to kill you and win!' despite the fact that bad guy could kill her right there and then by taking his finger off a trigger and really she should be too traumatised to make jokes. So, maybe it will veer off into so bad it's good territory.
Considering it was directed by Renny Harlin (who hasn't done an even bearable movie to me since Die Hard 2) I would expect a bunch of unintentional hilarity, like most of his films are.
The long kiss goodnight was quite good. I think he's a fairly competent director, even if he's done a few crap films.

Just saw the first commercial for Dragonball. Apparently the story is now Goku wasn't accepted at school and was bullied. Then one day he discovers he can open lockers with his hand. Now a bunch of old guys expect him to hold up a glowing bouncy ball and make big fireballs. The end.
The children in R-rated movies reminds me of the funniest part of the movie "Pineapple Express" - watching a mom take her two children, who looked to be about ages 4 and 6, if that, out of the theatre, but not until Bill Hader finished pantomiming a blow job. It was all kosher before, I guess.
Everytime I see the title "New in Town" (which I've never heard of), my mind temporarily confuses it with the ICON game "New Kid in Town". I expect maybe 4 people (if that) who post here to understand what that statement means.
Considering it was directed by Renny Harlin (who hasn't done an even bearable movie to me since Die Hard 2)
Hey, don't knock "Deep Blue Sea."
This probably isn't going to be seen by enough people to be considered truly bad on a national level, but it's the trailer for Kurt Angle's new movie.
http://www.northshore-pictures.com/video/E...me_Trailer.html
Dodgy production values? Check.
Ridiculous plot? Check.
Bad acting? Check.
Kurt Angle dressed as a clown? Check.
This is going to make 12 rounds look like All About Eve.
I saw Knowing. It's not the worst movie of the year, but man, Nic Cage is awesome
Smues and I should have a bad movie off, we seem to see real gems.
The sequence at the gas station where Rose Byrne and Nic Cage shout at each other is amazing. I also love, as Smues said, that the list is pointless. And that the list had a hotel fire on it. And the science guy with the lisp.
Nic Cage comforting his kid and telling him to go the aliens was great. There there son, go with the nice aliens.
Also, the minute the credits hit, they should've played I Hear Voices in my Head
EndGame looks like it will be on FX on a random afternoon by the end of the year.
I'm going to rape and kill you. It's true, it's DAMN true!

According to the FIFA rulebook, a player is in an offside position if: He is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent. A violation will occur when he is in an offside position (previous bullet point) at the same time the ball is being passed forward to him.
The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent is usually, but not necessarily, the goalkeeper).
A player is caught offside if he's nearer to the opponent's goal than both the ball and the second-last opponent (including the goalkeeper) when his team-mate plays the ball to him.

1925: from all to 3 to 2, offside comes of age
The offside rule, similar to that used in rugby today, formed part of the original rules in 1863. In early tactical systems, teams would field as many as eight forwards as the only means of advancing the ball was by dribbling or scrummaging.
Wenger, who is called 'The Professor' for his ideas and managerial abilities, proposed a change to the existing offside rule in October last year. According to his theory, a player should be judged offside only if any part of the body with which he can score a goal is past the last defender. Advertisement.
Staying Onside During Breakaways
The easiest way to stay onside during breakaways is to stay as close to the last defender as you can and keep an eye on the player with the ball. At this point, you don't even have to sprint past the defender because they are usually not in a great position to turn and run with you.
A player is in an offside position if: any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents' half (excluding the halfway line) and. any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent.
Player (A) cannot be penalised because he did not touch the ball. A player in an offside position (A) may be penalised before playing or touching the ball if, in the opinion of the referee, no other team-mate in an onside posi- tion has the opportunity to play the ball.
IT IS INTERESTING: Why is soccer played in summer in Australia?
A player is NOT in an offside position if: He is in his own half of the field of play. No part of the attacking player (head, body, or feet) is closer to the opponents goal than the final defender (not including the goalkeeper) .
Yes. If the ball is deflected off a defender or the defender makes a deliberate save, it's offside. Only when a defender deliberately plays the ball is it not considered offside.
Later in the year, the first ever soccer match was played on Barnes common at Mortlake, London on 19th December 1863 between Barnes Football Club and Richmond Football Club. The game ended in a 0-0 draw. The Football Association rules were further amended to exclude any handling of the ball.
If there was no offside, offenses would immediately put a player or two directly in the opposition's box right near the goal and attempt to feed long balls to those players. And to counter, defenses would send someone back there to mark the attackers. … Players would tire more quickly as well.
The man most responsible for the transition from this rugby-like game to the sport of football we know today was Walter Camp, known as the "Father of American Football." As a Yale undergraduate and medical student from 1876 to 1881, he played halfback and served as team captain, equivalent to head coach at the time.

Only a player, substitute or substituted player may be shown the red or yellow card.
If the opponent does a back pass and you are in an offside position, it will not be deemed as an offside as it was not your own teammate that pushed the ball forward. … Offsides cannot be called when the ball is received directly from a corner, goal-kick and throw-in.

Do you provide IT solutions to a specific type of industry? Describe for me the characteristics of your typical clients.
Find out from the IT firm the distinctive characteristics of most of their clients. Are they used to dealing with small and medium-sized businesses or have they provided support to big corporations? This can help you know what to expect with the solutions they are likely to provide your business.
The technology they would need to use when dealing with small business organizations is quite different from the one they would use to provide IT solutions to Fortune 500 companies. If they have only dealt with small companies, they might not have the tools nor the experience needed to handle IT challenges in a working environment with dozens of employees.
If the firm specializes in providing IT solutions to certain industries, you will need to decide if those industries have given them enough insight to handle challenges of the industry you are in. They might also be quite good in delivering results for certain type of industries. If your business is not in those type of industries, they may fail to translate the same success they have had with other businesses they have worked with.
What is the distribution of revenue sources for your business? Do you have a single client contributing most of the revenue your business makes?
You might find yourself in trouble after hiring an IT support firm whose main business comes from a single client who has since fired them. Surviving with a single client as the source of revenue is dangerous to any company. If that company decides to change its IT solutions provider, then that company faces certain collapse. Where possible, go for an IT firm that does not have any of its clients contributing more than 30% of its total revenue.
What has been your client retention rate for the last five years?
On average, how long does each client stay with the firm? If the firm is as good as it claims, the retention rate will be quite high. Most businesses avoid changing their IT service providers time and again. Therefore, if the IT firm has many businesses leaving them after a short period of working with them, it is probably because they consistently fail to deliver on their promise. Therefore, the likelihood that they might fail to deliver the results you seek will be quite high.

Greg Kesich: Like a foraging moose, Portland grows, slows and grows again
A few years ago, critics chided our city as stagnant. Now they lament as growth begins to take root.
By Greg KesichEditorial Page Editor
When I was a young reporter, I was handed a news release from the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife that warned drivers about an unusually high number of fatal vehicle crashes involving roving moose.
I did some research and learned about moose behavior, how in the spring they like to eat salty plants by the roadside, and I got a sufficiently alarming quote from a public safety official. ("Moose are everywhere, and they are practically invisible at night.")
I also did some math, and proclaimed, "If vehicle-moose collisions continue at this rate, this will be Maine's deadliest year on record."
An older, wiser editor took that out. Then the snow melted, new plants sprang up and the moose went back into the woods like they always do.
Now that I'm older, an editor and supposed to be wiser, I see "moose stories" everywhere. It's the mistake we all make when we assume that what's happening right now is going to keep happening forever.
I think of this now as I watch the political season unfold in Portland.
If you were just coming to town right now, you might be excused for thinking that the big problem facing the city is how we manage out-of-control growth.
But just a few years ago, we thought we had the opposite problem, and it was so acute it made us change our entire form of government.
Let's review:
Back in 2007 the city issued a request for proposals from developers interested in putting a hotel and office complex on the Maine State Pier, a valuable piece of city-owned property that had been allowed to decay so much that it reportedly needed $18 million in repairs.
Two entries came in from rival builders, Ocean Properties and The Olympia Cos., and discussion about which one was best got heated.
Jim Cloutier, the city councilor most closely associated with the Ocean Properties plan, was defeated in the 2007 election, and John Anton, who was elected in his place, cast the deciding vote to give the contract to Olympia.
In a few months the world financial system melted down, the winning developer pulled out of the deal and the contract was awarded to Ocean Properties, which eventually also bailed out.
People were furious. It was seen as an example of Portland's inability to get anything done, and it was blamed on our nine city councilors, who were working at cross purposes. Two years later, voters approved a charter change for a full-time, elected-mayor form of government. In 2011 there were 15 candidates for the job and economic development – more economic development – was the top priority for all of them.
Nothing had been built after the Maine State Pier deal fell apart, and there was a sense that nothing would ever get built if we didn't do something.
It was a moose story. At the time of the election, the national recovery started creeping our way.
Here we are, four years later, and we've finally started to see a little growth. There have been some housing projects – both subsidized and market-rate – and a few new hotels open for business. Portland has become a "hot" city, where young people and active retirees are moving in, putting upward pressure on rents and home prices, forcing some people out of the market. Most nights, the line outside the homeless shelter has twice as many people as the shelter can hold. There are not enough places for people to live.
You would think that people would be clamoring for faster growth to meet our needs, but all the recent activism has gone the other way. We saw a lawsuit block a high-rise market-rate housing complex planned for a brownfield in Bayside (the now all-but-dead "midtown" project), a referendum campaign to stop the sale of part of a city-owned park at Congress Square and, this year, another referendum to regulate construction projects that affect views.
The target of that effort is the proposed mixed-use development at the historic Portland Co. site on Fore Street, which could create more jobs, housing, commercial activity and tax revenue than the Maine State Pier complex ever would have – if it can get built.
We hear that if we don't slow down, we'll become another Boston. But that's a moose story, too.
It is a serious mistake to assume that the growth we are seeing will continue in perpetuity. All it will take is a recession or a hike in interest rates and the building boom will turn to bust.
The challenge for everyone in this city is to remember where we've been and try to have a little vision.
A city is growing, living thing that changes all the time. We should be wise enough not to forget that.

Governors, Emefiele To Meet Over Withdrawal Policy, Naira Redesign
Business and Economy, Politics
Spokesperson Bello-Barkindo said the Chairman of the NGF, who is the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, had invited Emefie to meet with the governors on Thursday at 9:00 pm, virtually.
A meeting has been scheduled between governors of the 36 states and the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, on Thursday.
The meeting is over the present withdrawal policy and the redesigned naira notes, according to a report by Punch.
The governors under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors' Forum through its spokesperson, Abdulrazaque Bello-Barkindo, in a statement Tuesday night said the governors would exchange ideas with Emefiele on "the economic and security implications of the current withdrawal policy and naira redesign.
On October 26, 2022, the CBN disclosed its decision to redesign the naira notes and subsequently directed Nigerians to change their naira notes from the banks on or before January 31, 2023.
The spokesperson while referring to the NGF's Director General, Mr. Asishana Okauru, noted that the virtual meeting would focus on the latest apex bank's withdrawal policy and naira redesign.
He said, "For the virtual meeting, the agenda is titled, "The Economic and Security implications of naira redesign and withdrawal policy.
"The discussion promises to foster participation and dialogue between various stakeholders including governments and civil society organisations to come up with a solution to the lingering issue."
The PUNCH reported how the CBN pegged the maximum weekly limit for cash withdrawals across by individuals and corporate organisations to N500,000 and N5 million, respectively.
Initially, the CBN reduced the weekly over-the-counter cash withdrawal limit for individuals to N100,000 and that of corporate organisations to N500,000.
It also reduced withdrawals at Automated Teller Machines and point-of-sale terminals to N20,000 daily.
