Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire

Danny Boyle (Sunshine) directed this wildly energetic, Dickensian drama about the desultory life and times of an Indian boy whose bleak, formative experiences lead to an appearance on his country’s version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Jamal (played as a young man by Dev Patel) and his brother are orphaned as children, raising themselves in various slums and crime-ridden neighorhoods and falling in, for a while, with a monstrous gang exploiting children as beggars and prostitutes. Driven by his love for Latika (Freida Pinto), Jamal, while a teen, later goes on a journey to rescue her from the gang’s clutches, only to lose her again to another oppressive fate as the lover of a notorious gangster.

It’s fresh and it’s magical and horrific. It’s the hero’s story of a quest. And it’s the story of the city of Mumbai, India, with its vast contrasts of utter poverty in an emerging modern world. It moves with lightning speed and I found myself smiling one minute and grimacing in disgust in another. It’s an emotional roller coaster ride that left me exhilarated and convinced that this breakthrough film is a true global masterpiece.

Liberty and Tyranny

Conservative talk radio’s fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times bestselling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, Men in Black, and the deeply personal dog lover’s memoir Rescuing Sprite, Mark R. Levin now delivers the book that characterizes both his devotion to his more than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers: Liberty and Tyranny is Mark R. Levin’s clarion call to conservative America, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century.

Mark R. Levin logically lays out what has made the United States of America different from all other nations in the history of humanity. He re-introduces us to the founders and framers, and those people who inspired them long ago. At its most basic elements, our country was founded on the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…and that we have these rights conferred on us, not by man or government, but by the laws of nature, which originate with the Creator. Mr. Levin puts us back in touch with our founding doctrines, which are the at the very heart of what conservatism is and has always been.

How to Deal With A Twilight Fanatic

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:37 am

How to Deal With A Twilight Fanatic

Twilight, the first book in a series by Stephanie Meyer, now made into a movie, has become all the rage with people of all age groups. Many people have become obsessed to the point of frenzy. This is an article that helps you deal with your friends, family, and coworkers that may have gone off the Twilight deep end.

Step1 Twilight Movie image provided by http://natasha-hc.livejournal.com No matter what, the first step here is to remind yourself that this is a phase. No matter how much the Twilight crazed person in your life claims to be in love with the novel, movie, or Edward Cullen himself, they will get over it

2Gently remind your friend, coworker, family member or loved one that no matter how much they may love the story, Twilight is fiction. Try injecting gentle phrases such as, “Well, I can see how a movie could…” or “The book is rather…” or “I’m sure many teenagers find it fun” or even “For a fictional story…”. If they’re super obsessed, try “You know it’s fiction right?”

3Do not try to take any Twilight materials away from the obsessed individual. This will result in extreme agitation on their part and may even lead to physical damage to your person. Those obsessed with Twilight will have no problem attacking you for their books, movie tickets, magazine articles, or discarded rubbish they pulled out of Robert Pattinson’s trash.

Try, if you can, to hide any and all shimmer powder, light shades of base, body glitter, or white make-up. The obsessed fan my try to make him or herself look like a vampire. Remember, Twilight vampires glitter in sunshine, hence the need to remove all body glitter and shimmer powder. The world does not need more glittering day-light loving vampires. We’re fine with our night-time-only-sleep-in-a-coffin bloodsuckers thank you very much.

5In keeping with the previous step, it may behoove you to remove any objects that can be used for filing from the obsessed one. These things, such as nail files, over time, can be used to file down the canine teeth to appear more vampire-like.

Also, and this is perhaps the most important, try to keep your Twilight obsessed loved one from attempting to hunt bears like Edward Cullen. It will be difficult. It may be risky, but the life of your loved one depends on it.

Try your hardest to accept the obsession. It is a force beyond our control. We who are not obsessed by Twilight are seen as uncool or incomplete or possibly even nerds. In truth, some of us just prefer to have vampires be horrible monsters that like to kill people for fun, the way Stephen King would’ve intended. So, keep strong, stay diligent, and, if necessary, hide.

Paper Cuts

PAPER CUTS

source: wikipedia

A paper cut occurs when a piece of paper or other thin, sharp material slices a person’s skin.

Paper cuts, though named from paper, can also be caused by other thin, stiff materials, such as aluminium foil, thin blades of grass, etc.

Although a loose paper sheet is usually too soft to cut, it can be very thin (sometimes as thin as a razor edge), being then able to exert high levels of pressure, enough to cut the skin. Paper cuts are most often caused by paper sheets that are strongly fastened together (such as brand new paper out of a ream), because one single paper sheet might be dislocated from the rest. Thus all the other sheets are holding this dislocated sheet in position, and the very small part held away from the rest can be stiff enough to act as a razor.

Paper cuts can cause surprisingly acute pain since they usually stimulate a large number of skin surface pain receptors (nociceptors) in a very small area of the skin. Because the shallow cut does not bleed very much, the pain receptors are left open to the air, ensuring continued pain. This is exacerbated by irritation caused by the fibers in the paper itself, which may be coated in chemicals such as bleach. Additionally, most paper cuts occur in the fingers, which have a greater concentration of sensory receptors than the rest of the body.

The random orientation of collagen fibers in skin provides the ability to withstand pinpoint forces. However, skin does not have the same strength against shearing forces, and is easily cut. The same principle can be applied to performers that stand on blades.

A drop of ‘liquid bandage’ or equivalent onto a papercut can seal the skin to stop pain as well as prevent further opening of the wound (as is common on a location such as a finger).

USS Hartford Damaged In Early-morning Collision

By EDMUND H. MAHONY | The Hartford Courant
1:19 PM EDT, March 20, 2009

The USS Hartford, a nuclear-powered attack submarine named after Connecticut’s capital city, was damaged during an early-morning collision with another U.S. naval vessel in the narrow Strait of Hormuz between Iran and the Arabian peninsula, the Navy reported.

There was no damage to the Hartford’s atomic propulsion system. The Navy said the New Orleans, designed to land U.S. Marine Corps forces, experienced a ruptured fuel tank, resulting in a diesel fuel spill of 25,000 gallons.

The Navy said that after the collision, both ships were operating under their own power and were headed to undisclosed locations for repair and evaluation.

Both ships were heading to port and moving in the same direction when the collision occurred in one of the world’s busiest and most dangerous shipping lanes. The Navy said the Hartford was submerged at the time, but it is withholding further detail pending investigation.

Both ships were involved in regularly scheduled deployments to the region and were conducting security operations, the Navy said. The Navy does not detail ship deployments for security reasons, but in the past submarines transiting the Strait have typically been involved in protecting naval fleet operations, protecting commercial shipping and supporting U.S. troops in Iraq and elsewhere.

The Strait of Hormuz is in a heavily traveled choke point 34 miles across at its narrowest connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. About 40 percent of globally traded oil leaves the Gulf region through the Strait, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. One of U.S. Central Command’s key missions in the Gulf region is to ensure the free flow of oil and energy supplies.

The USS Hartford is an attack submarine of the Los Angeles class whose keel was laid by in Groton in February 1992 by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics. She was launched in 1993 and is berthed at the U.S. Naval Submarine Base in Groton.

In October 2003, the Hartford ran aground near La Maddalena in Sardinia with sufficient force to cause substantial damage to her rudders, sonar and electronics.

The submarine is the second ship to be named after Hartford. The first was a sail and steam-powered sloop of war commissioned in 1859. The first Hartford served initially as flag ship of the U.S. Navy’s East India Squadron.

Upon the outbreak of the Civil War, the original Hartford became Adm. David Farragut’s flagship in the Western Gulf of Mexico Blockading Squadron. It entered history during the Civil War battle of Mobile Bay when Farragut issued the order now remembered as the battle cry “Damn the torpedoes … full speed ahead.”

How To Tie A Tie

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — admin @ 8:20 am

HOW TO TIE A TIE

source: http://www.tie-a-tie.net/windsor.html

Windsor Knot

The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie knot that projects confidence. It would therefore be your knot of choice for presentations, job interviews, courtroom appearances etc. It is best suited for spread collar shirts and it’s actually quite easy to do.

While just about everyone can use this tie knot to tie his tie, it looks especially well on men with longer necks as its wide form shortens the perceived height of the neck a little bit.

To tie the Windsor Knot, select a necktie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps below:

1) Start with the wide end (”W”) of your necktie on the right, extending about 12 inches below the narrow end (”N”) on the left.

2) Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.

3) Bring the wide end up through the loop between the collar and your tie.

4) Then bring the wide end back down.

5) Pull the wide end underneath the narrow end and to the right, back through the loop and to the right again so that the wide end is inside out.

6) Bring the wide end across the front from right to left.

7) Then pull the wide end up through the loop again.

8) Bring the wide end down through the knot in front.

9) And — using both hands — tighten the knot carefully and draw it up to the collar.

DWI Lawyers

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — admin @ 9:19 am

How to find a DWI Lawyer

You were driving under the influence and now you need a DWI lawyer. There are many lawyers out there to help you if you find yourself in this situation. If you were caught drunk driving, understand that it is for the best and that if it hadn’t been for that police officer, you could have seriously hurt someone.

Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence is against the law. However there are lawyers out there whose job it is to help you and defend you should you find yourself in such a situation. Of course there are lawyers for the other side too in case you end up hurting someone. For now, let’s focus on you.

Driving while intoxicated comes with certain penalties, some of which can include jail time. Often a DUI lawyer can help. For those who find themselves in that situation, they can search these online sources for more help: www.legalconnection.com ; www.duiattorneys.com ; www.1800DUILaws.com .

Drinking and driving can applying to driving a car, a boat, a bike, an airplane, or a horse. If you need a DWI attorney, please refer to the sites I’ve mentioned above. Not surprising, a Texas dwi lawyer, or a DWI lawyer Austin are the busiest during the 4th of July. Austin DWI also does not get much rest all year. Second is the work of the Houston DWI lawyer, who takes care of not just teenagers, but grown men and women who can’t let go of the bottle. Getting Houston DWI carries heavier penalties than in most states. Other heavily recruited lawyers are the Dallas DWI lawyer, the NJ DWI lawyer, the Minnesota DWI lawyer, and the DWI lawyer in Austin. Please, don’t drink and drive. And remember, it’s not worth it. Save your life, and the life of others by taking care of this responsibility. Next time, hand over your keys to a friend; or better yet, take a cab.

Car Accident Lawyer

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — admin @ 9:13 am

How to find a car accident lawyer

You were just in a car accident. Or a friend or family member was just in a car accident. And now you need a car accident lawyer because your car is damaged, or because you are injured. How can you go about getting an injury lawyer?

Being in a car accident is upsetting, and sometimes embarrasing. Car accidents occur between 2 vehicles, a car and an animal, or a car and a roadside object. Horrible injuries, vehicle damage, and even death occur from such events. These events are almost always unexpected and life altering. There are many car accident lawyers out there to help you. First, you want to contact a friend who has been in a similar situation to see if they have anyone to recommend. Going with someone’s recommendation is always better than what you can get through any other avenue. However, if you don’t have that option, than going online is the next step.

An injury lawyer will file cases on your behalf if you happen to get an injury during the crash. They would do the same thing a car accident attorney or an accident attorney would do. A personal injury lawyer takes care of other injuries, and all of them have the same qualifications. Top websites you might want to consider as you search for a car accident lawyer are: www.McCormackLawFirm.com (they give you a free evaluation); www.USAAccidentHelpCenter.com (they provide nationwide assistance) ; and www.AutoAccident.com (they also host a forum).

If you do suffer a personal injury consider the websites above. If you do find yourself in a car accident, it might cost you some money to hire an auto accident lawyer, but it’s better to hire a personal injury attorney than to try to maneuver the legal system yourself, especially if the accident was not your fault. Car accident lawyers, although they have the potential to help you, can also benefit from taking your case, so when you call, call with a sense of empowerment. These personal injury lawyers want your business.
