I took him to a game preserve last weekend just to see what he would do on birds. Once I got him going in the right direction and into the field, he began hunting very enthusiastically. He was following his nose all over the place. He wasn't following anything near a quartering pattern, but he was hunting fast and furious. The only problem was that he was hunting nose-down all the time. Several times he seemed to scent something in heavy cover and just went after it. I suspect that he had smelled a rabbit or field mouse.
After that I read that pointers shouldn't be hunting nose down. Is that really a problem? If so, is there any way to break the dog of that? How? Also, will I make matters worse if I take him rabbit hunting with me? By the way, my Brittany eventually found a pheasant which he quickly flushed. I'm not too worried about that, because I think I'll be able to bring him around when I get him on training birds regularly. Or should I be worried?
Thanks for writing verstailedogs.com and thanks for the questions.
Everything you are describing points to formal yard work. Yard work is the foundation that is laid to produce an obedient, stylish bird dog. It involves teaching the dog to heel, whoa, quarter, and come to it's name. It also involves developing the natural retrieve as well as honoring (backing another dog on point).
How can this keep my dogs nose up? When we teach heel we are also teaching the dog to heel with its head up. We discourage 'ground scenting' as it is unattractive and inefficient for finding game.
We'll take that young dog that has learned to heel with it's head up and take it into good cover with planted birds. After a few lessons and several birds, the dog learns that he is finding birds with his head up. With more yard/field work the young dog gains confidence that it can find birds better with it's head up. A smart dog will put 2 and 2 together and realize that ground scenting is only good for trailing wounded game.
A dog that ground scents for it's birds will often want to point with its head low to the ground which is not good. For instance, if you hunt in tall CRP fields and your dog goes on point you would have a hard time finding the dog unless you have a beeper or bell to track your dog.
A great example of dogs hunting head up and pointing head up was revealed with a couple of my new gun dog hunting buddies this year hunting wild quail here in Texas.
I have an old pointer that will not budge off point even if you call her, shoot the gun, whistle or whatever. She was trained by someone else and points low to the ground. It took us a long time several times this year to find her even though she was within 100 yards in the tall CRP.
We crossed a nearby creek and started walking the edge of the adjacent CRP field. I glanced west into the CRP and saw the top of Chief's head and the tip of his tail glistening in the soon to be setting sun, just barely visible above the tall Alamo switch grass...standing on point. I told Scott "There he is standing point" Scotts' reply was "Where?!" and then "Oh man, that's awesome!" A huge covey was flushed by us and it was fun for all. Chief had it all at that moment...Style, Steadiness, and devotion that his master would eventually find him! I remember telling Scott that it would be o.k. if Chief and I died right then and right there for that was what it was all about. We had a good laugh and then chased some of the singles with equally good dog work.
Hope that bit of info helps and good luck.

What is a "podcast" and can it help your personal injury firm?
One of the digital media world's newest offspring is the "podcast". The word, attributed to Ben Hammersley in a 2004 Guardian newspaper article, came about as follows: the "pod" is borrowed from Apple's "iPod" and the "cast" taken from radio's broadcast term.
I think the best way to think of podcast media is as Internet radio. A great feature is that it is on-demand because, like TV's DVRs, you can listen to it on your digital devices whenever you please. You can listen to it live or you can listen to it recorded. If you want to schedule your listening time, you can usually go to the person's or business' website where you can download it.
What makes this form of digital media unique in the marketing world is its ability to immediately deliver its message to multiple podcast distribution points (such as iTunes and Sticher Radio).
You can also usually subscribe to an RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feed or a subscription button, oftentimes for free. When a podcaster releases a new episode, you are automatically notified. You can also choose, through podcasting software, to have the episode automatically downloaded. In this way, podcasting is much like having a magazine subscription delivered every month in your mail. You don't have to lift a finger to receive it.
Because you can usually leave a comment or suggestion after listening to a podcast, podcasting serves its listeners as a social media platform as well.
Can a podcast help your personal injury firm grow?
The beauty of podcasting lies in the fact that it is not only for mainstream or big-name media people. Anyone can create a podcast (more on this in a future blog). It can be a solo podcast or you can interview someone(s).
Here are a few ways that podcasting can help your personal injury firm grow.
Traffic generation: Podcasting can help you reach new audiences who may need your personal injury law services now and in the future.
Build real relationships with your potential and current clients: Podcasts can create a relationship with a listener without ever actually interacting. Even though it is a one-sided medium, listeners come to feel they know you better. If you pair this with TV advertising, you will probably gain fans that stop you in the street to just chat. It can really help bring your target audience closer to you.
Increase conversions: Because people will come to your site to listen to your podcast episodes, not only will your website traffic increase, but your conversions from leads to clients will increase as well. People would much rather turn to someone they know when they need a personal injury lawyer, than to a stranger. This additional targeting and new website content will also help you rank better on search engine results pages (SERPs).
Podcasts are educational and engaging: Not only will your listeners learn about your personal injury law firm and personal injury law, but they will experience receiving the information audibly, which for some is a much preferred way than reading written material.
Many believe that podcasting will compete with regular AM/FM radio stations. Its continued growth and popularity over the past few years seem to bear this out. Automakers and smartphone makers are finding better ways to work together to broadcast podcasts, and I would imagine that they will succeed in delivering very soon.

Illustrations can be attention-grabbing in any online content. Anyone can create and customise a vector image.
Anyone can think creatively by simply connecting customers with content. The online world is very visual. Apps like Instagram encourage storytelling through imagery.
Visual understanding is one of the three types of learning – the others being hearing and doing. Why not appeal to the visual segments of your audience!
Images can also convey information very quickly. People can get impressions of ideas with just a glance. The old cliche is true – a picture tells a thousand words.
The above graphic is an example of a simple message told through an illustration. Drawings, like this one, are easily found on the iStock web site and other stock image providers.
Encapsulated Postscript Vector graphics (eps) sound very technical. Yet these crisp drawings can be achieved with a few simple steps.
First, download an image which you have licence and rights to. Get up to speed on licensing lingo like Creative Commons with a web site like Creative Commons Australia. Find a similar guide which is specific to your country's own laws.
Secondly, open the file in Adobe Illustrator or a similar vector editing software program. Make a few tiny changes. This one had the book mark duplicated. Then the heading was changed for greater relevance. You can change the colours, shapes and anything you desire. Try to choose changes that will best represent your brand's personality.
Thirdly, export the customised vector file as an image that can be uploaded onto your web site. Popular formats are PNG or JPEG. Then just click the upload button in your site's media manager and include it in a page. Easy!
Stock vector graphics are very user friendly. They require minimal customisation, if at all. A strong illustration can be attention grabbing, entertaining and informative.


You need potassium. Do you know where it is?
The FDA confirmed what previous studies had proven: Potassium-rich foods help stop strokes, which hit half a million Americans every year! This mineral also promotes heart health by fighting high blood pressure, something 50 million of us suffer from. And now, foods with at least 350 mg of potassium per serving (10% of the recommended Daily Value) can remind you of this on their labels.
Caution: If you have kidney disease or take a diuretic medication, you may need to avoid high-potassium foods; check with your doctor.

Greece: Russians expelled over cash-for-protests allegation
Posted on July 13, 2018, 11:27 am
Greece has moved to expel two Russian diplomats accused of supplying funds to protest groups opposing a deal that would end Greece's longstanding name dispute with neighboring FYR Macedonia, a Greek official said Thursday.
The expulsions were confirmed the day after NATO formally invited FYR Macedonia to join the western military alliance pending the agreement's successful completion. Moscow opposes any expansion of NATO, particularly if it involves nations Russia sees as within its natural sphere of influence.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told Greek reporters in Brussels after a NATO summit ended Thursday that he was obliged "to defend the national sovereignty" of Greece, but did not refer to Russia or the expulsions directly.
"We seek good relations with most countries — not only the ones in our neighborhood," Tsipras said. "But we do demand that all countries respect our international legitimacy and national sovereignty."
Deadline Friday
Russian authorities have been given until Friday to get the two diplomats out of Greece, the Greek official told The Associated Press. He asked not to be identified, citing the sensitivity of the issue.
The government was compelled to act after receiving evidence of "specific actions," the official said. Greece also blocked other Russian officials from entering the country, he said.
It was not clear if the Russian diplomats have departed or are preparing to leave.
The United States welcomed the Greek action. In a message posted on Twitter, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said: "We support Greece defending its sovereignty. Russia must end its destabilizing behavior."
The deal to end the name dispute foresees FYR Macedonia renamed as North Macedonia in exchange for Greece dropping objections to its northern neighbor joining NATO and the European Union.
Allegations called 'nonsense'
A Russian diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly dismissed as "nonsense" allegations that Russian diplomats were involved in undermining Greek public support for the Macedonia deal.
In Moscow, the Foreign Ministry took a careful stance.
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that diplomatic expulsions typically bring a tit-for-tat response, but underlined the importance of Russia-Greece ties.
The agreement between Greece and its small northern neighbor still faces several hurdles — including constitutional changes and a referendum in FYR Macedonia — before it becomes final.
Protests held in both countries
Protests against the agreement have been held in both countries, backed by the political opposition.
Igor Pshenichnikov, an expert at the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, a government-funded think-tank, alleged the Greek authorities acted "under the pressure of their advisers from Brussels and Washington."
In remarks carried by the Tass news agency, he described the move as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' "gift for the NATO summit."
Russia has tried to prevent some countries from joining NATO, including historic Slavic ally Montenegro. The Balkan country became NATO's 29th member a year ago.

Iran is reportedly considering a top-secret plan to deliberately cause a massive oil tanker spill at the entrance to the Persian Gulf as a response to crippling sanctions that have been leveled against the country by several world powers.
The plan is codenamed "Dirty Water," and was first announced in the German news magazine Der Spiegel, reports The Independent.
The reported plan has been leaked to Western intelligence agencies and is said to have been throught up by the leader of Iran's hardline Revolutionary Guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari.
The plan would involve wrecking of sabotaging an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, which is the narrow seaway between Iran and Oman, which is used by over one-third of the world's oil tankers that enter the Persian Gulf.
An oil spill from a large vessel like an oil tanker would cause an environmental disaster in one of the world's busiest waterways. It would also force the temporary closure of the Persian Gulf to shipping — a move that would prove incredibly costly.
Western intelligence sources have said that the proposal was targeted at punishing hostile governments for placing sanctions on the regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, believing that Tehran, Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.
The Jerusalem Post notes that, in addition to driving up oil prices, the resulting environmental disaster of an oil spill in the Strait of Hormuz would require Western countries to start a large-scale cleanup operation with Iran, which could potentially reduce the sanctions currently leveled against the country.
The decision on whether to implement the plan reportedly lies in the hands of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, although considering the plan is now known to Western intelligence, it is not clear on whether the country will actually implement it or not.
Do you think Iran will implement a plan to create an oil spill in the Persian Gulf as a retaliation to the sanctions leveled against them?

Q: Missing object or bucket in path when running on Dataflow When trying to run a pipeline on the Dataflow service, I specify the staging and temp buckets (in GCS) on the command line. When the program executes, I get a RuntimeException before my pipeline runs, where the root cause is that I'm missing something in the path.
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to construct instance from factory method DataflowRunner#fromOptions(interface org.apache.beam.sdk.options.PipelineOptions)
...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing object or bucket in path: 'gs://df-staging-bucket-57763/', did you mean: 'gs://some-bucket/df-staging-bucket-57763'?
gs://df-staging-bucket-57763/ already exists in my project, and I have access to it. What do I need to add to make this work?

A: The DataflowRunner requires that the staging location and temp locations be a location within a bucket rather than the top-level of a bucket. Adding a directory (such as --stagingLocation=gs://df-staging-bucket-57763/staging or --tempLocation=gs://df-staging-bucket-57763/temp) to your arguments (for each of the stagingLocation and gcpTempLocation arguments) will be sufficient to run the pipeline.

A: Update run configuration as below:

*

*uncheck flag "Use Default Dataflow options" under the Pipeline Arguments tab. Select pipeline arguments manually.

*Keep blank value for "Cloud Storage staging location".

Q: Поиск максимального значения при условиях Делаю в Excel протокол для соревнований, там присутствую такие поля:

1 подход| 2 подход| 3 подход

Под каждым подходом 2 ячейки: в первой указывается вес, во второй ставится X в случае неудачного подхода.
В ячейку Результат нужно выводить наибольший вес, правее которого не присутствует X
пока удалось только сделать так
=ЕСЛИ(J13="";I13;ЕСЛИ(L13="";K13;ЕСЛИ(N13="";M13;)))

Работает, но не так, как нужно.
Прошу помощи

A: Добрый вечер!
Попробуйте следующую формулу:
=МАКС(ЕСЛИ(J13<>"X";I13;0);ЕСЛИ(L13<>"X";K13;0);ЕСЛИ(N13<>"X";M13;0))

Только учтите, что русское "Х" и английское "X" - это разные буквы, и результат будет разный в зависимости от того, что вы введёте. Чтобы избежать ошибки можно расширить формулу до:
=МАКС(ЕСЛИ(И(J13<>"Х";J13<>"X");I13;0);ЕСЛИ(И(L13<>"Х";L13<>"X");K13;0);ЕСЛИ(И(N13<>"Х";N13<>"X");M13;0))

A: Если неудачный подход, то и значение не пишется, только "Х"?
В этом случае достаточно:
=МАКС(I13:M13)

Если же при наличии буквы может быть вписано и значение:
=МАКС(ЕСЛИ(J13="";I13);ЕСЛИ(L13="";K13);ЕСЛИ(N13="";M13))

То же (короче, но вычислений больше):
=МАКС(I13*(J13="");K13*(L13="");M13*(N13=""))

Для разнообразия - формула массива:
=МАКС(ЕСЛИ(J13:N13="";I13:M13))

Ввод формулы завершается нажаием трех клавиш (Ctrl+Shift+Enter), должна обрамиться фигурными скобками. Эта формула, кроме ввода как формулы массива,  имеет еще один недостаток - выполняет больше вычислений по сравнению с формулами, показанноыми выше.

My Favourite Twenty-Five Movies Because Ten Would Be Stupid And Thirty Would Be Fucking Annoying Part Five Of Five

"Last One Out Of Liberty City", 'Hello Rockview'; Less Than Jake (1998)
"A list poem is one of the easiest kinds of poems to write because it doesn't require either rhythm or rhyme. But that doesn't mean you should write down anything helter skelter. Here's a list of elements that makes a list poem a poem instead of just a list:
1) The writer is telling you something–pointing something out–saying, "Look at this" or, "Think about this."
2) There's a beginning and an end to it, like in a story.
3) Each item in the list is written the same way."
"How to Write a "What Bugs Me" List Poem", by Bruce Lansky (1996)
"My advice, to anyone willing to listen, is to find a notebook that fits into your pants pocket. Use a pen with a cap so it doesn't explode in your pocket, and start writing down whatever you can remember. Even if it's a favourite colour. Then, later, write down why it's your favourite colour…. and pretty soon you've got a list."
The Fifth Five: My Ultimate Twenty Five Movies
This is the fifth, and last, part of a list of my favourite movies. A year after I started treatment for manic depression in November, 2002, I started keeping a journal. A few months after starting I began to make lists of my memories. After nearly eighteen-years surviving untreated my memories had become jumbled and confused. Making lists about movies, embarrassing moments, meals, places I've lived among many others proved to be invaluable to my recovery. Each list took a little more power away from the disease and gave me more confidence in myself. After this post there is the second part to the "52 Places I've Lived" post and the last list I'm going to share.
The First Five: Bladerunner (Directors Cut) (1992) (Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer); Tora, Tora, Tora (1970); All The Presidents Men (1974) (Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman); Our Lady of The Assassins (2002); Se7en (1995) (Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt).
The Second Five: The Americanization of Emily (1964) b/w (James Garner, Julie Andrews); Giant (1956) (Rock Hudson, James Dean, Liz Taylor); The Prophecy (1995) (Christopher Walkin, Eric Stoltz); The Filth And The Fury (2002) (Sex Pistols — doc.); Network (1976) (Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, Robert Duvall)
The Third Five: Pi (π) (1998) b/w (Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis); Apocalypse Now (Redux) (1979) (Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall); The Killing Fields (1984) (Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor, Spalding Gray); Cool Hand Luke (1967) (Paul Newman, George Kennedy); Lawrence of Arabia (1962) (Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif).
The Fourth Five: Run Lola Run (1998) (Franka Potente, Moritz Bleibtreu); Three Days of The Condor (1975) (Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway); City Of Ghosts (2002) (Matt Dillon, James Cahn); Touching The Void (2003) (Joe Simpson, Simon Yates); The Third Man (1949) b/w (Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton).
The Almost Six: Spartan (2004) (Val Kilmer, Derek Luke); The Station Agent (2003) (Peter Dinklage, Bobby Cannavale); The Empire Strikes Back (1980) (Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher); Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (2002) (George Clooney, Sam Rockwell); Clerks (1994) b/w (Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson); Mississippi Burning (1988) (Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe).
Once Were Warriors (1994) (Rena Owen, Temuera Morrison) Based on a 1990 bestselling novel by New Zealand author Alan Duff this movie is about as close filmmaking has gotten to portraying the kind of abuse and degradation indigenous people have been put through and have put each other through. When an entire people have no hope, no recourse, no defence against the crushing poverty left to them by their colonizers they almost always turn the abuse onto themselves and the people around them. Once Were Warriors deals specifically with New Zealand's urbanized Māori people and the family abuse, rape, alcoholism, drug abuse and violence which has become almost inherent to their sub-culture. But the movie could have been set in Australia, India or Canada without changing a scene. It is very rare — very rare — to find a well made movie about poverty, this one is at the top of the list in terms of quality and honesty.
The two main characters are "Beth", a traditional Māori who left home when she was a teenager to marry "Jake", basically an alcoholic angry young man. They move to a city slum where, over eighteen years, they have five children. The movie is mostly about the relationship between the Māori who have succumbed to the crushing poverty, and those returning to their traditional beliefs and traditions. The acting is spectacular and raw, and very few punches are pulled. Literally. This is a fantastic film, and easily one of my favourites.
Quote One:
Jake Heke: "I'll kill you first!"
Beth Heke: "Well go on, do it! You're still a slave Jake. To your fists. To the drink. To yourself. Well go on – kill the bloody lot of us!"
Quote Two:
Beth Heke: "Our people once were warriors. But unlike you, Jake, they were people with mana, pride; people with spirit. If my spirit can survive living with you for eighteen years, then I can survive anything."
The Great Dictator (1940) (Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard) Charlie Chaplin was a brilliant filmmaker. "The Great Dictator", released two months before Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and the subsequent entry of America into the Second World War, is possibly the greatest piece of satirical filmmaking ever put on a screen. But it's target wasn't Germany's NAZI politics, the target was the American public who wanted nothing to do with stopping the spread of those ideologies. This is Chaplin's masterpiece. It's also his first "Talkie", and holy Christ does he talk. Weirdly enough, considering how closely related the philosophies of 1950's Soviet Union were to 1940's Germany, Chaplin was a fan of communism at the same time he was anti-NAZI. After making this movie, and a few other overtly political movies, Chaplin was labeled as a communist-lite in America. Chaplin was basically chased out of America during the McCarthy witch-hunt, basically because in 1947 Chaplin released a dark satire in the same vein of "The Great Dictator" called "Monsieur Verdoux", only his target was capitalism. But, if you listen to the speeches in "Dictator" he wasn't really a communist, he may never have made a film directly attacking the Soviet Union, and he may have wanted America to get into WW2 to fight alongside the Soviet Union and not necessarily to protect the people being put into the ovens — but "Dictator" was about showing political theories, a political theory, in practice. His support of the Soviet Union at the same time seems to me to be about protecting the world from NAZIism, not about promoting Soviet Communism. Besides, "The Great Dictator" trancends any single dictator. The movie could have been about Stalin, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Hussein, Idi Amin…
Garbitsch: "Corona veniat electus." Victory shall come to the worthy. Today, democracy, liberty, and equality are words to fool the people. No nation can progress with such ideas. They stand in the way of action. Therefore, we frankly abolish them. In the future, each man will serve the interest of the State with absolute obedience. Let him who refuses beware! The rights of citizenship will be taken away from all Jews and other non-Aryans. They are inferior and therefore enemies of the state. It is the duty of all true Aryans to hate and despise them. Henceforth this nation is annexed to the Tomanian Empire, and the people of this nation will obey the laws bestowed upon us by our great leader, the Dictator of Tomania, the conqueror of Osterlich, the future Emperor of the World!"
The Devil's Rejects (2005) (Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon) I do believe Rob Zombie, the writer and director of Devil's Rejects, could be in the top one percent coolest people on the planet. The… lets call it a "prequel" to this movie was "House Of 1000 Corpses" and, mostly, it sucked hard wood. So Rob, thinking of his characters as his children, put together some bucks and a script and — like any good father — came up with The Devil's Rejects as a way to kill off the main characters from Corpses properly. Ebert & Roeper gave this movie two thumbs up, called it Oscar worthy, then told people not to go see it because — holy fuck — it was that disturbing. This is not "horror porn". Movies like "Saw" and "Hostel" have no plot and exist only to create new and interesting methods of using a power drill. Those movies have their place, but "The Devil's Rejects" has a plot, it has excellent acting and it has a back-story. The movie will actually make you feel… something approaching regret, even remorse, when The Firefly Family finally get beat down. Zombie, apparently a huge Marx Brothers fan, has named the family of psychopaths who do most of the killing, after characters from their movies. Zombie — who was also one of the most influential musicians of the 1990's — has taken over the "Halloween" franchise from John Carpenter and used most of the cast from "The Devil's Rejects" for the upcoming release. See? He's so freaking cool he lets us see his wife's ass and he's loyal to his friends. The soundtrack was pretty righteous as well.
Captain J.T. Spaulding: What's the matter, kid? Don't ya like clowns?
Jamie: [shakes head crying]
Spaulding: "Why? Don't we make ya laugh? Aren't we fuckin' funny? You best come up with an answer, cos I'm gonna come back here and check on you and your momma and if you ain't got a reason why you hate clowns, I'm gonna kill your whole fucking family.
The Thing (1982) (Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley) More than any other movie I can remember from my childhood, this one fucked me up the most. John Carpenter isn't the godfather of horror, he's the God of Horror. His brand of horror may be on the sidelines for now, at least until Rob Zombie gets it back in the game, but from 1978 until 1983 Carpenter released Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), The Thing (1982), and Christine (1983) plus there was the classic They Live (1988). I can remember being twelve and walking home in the middle of the night, in a fog, after watching The Fog at a friends place… that was fucking nuts. But "The Thing", that was something else. When the severed head grew those spider legs and scuttled off… obviously I was a little young to be watching the movie, and obviously it didn't fuck me up that badly as I'm still here, but I've never been frightened walking out of another movie since watching The Fog and The Thing. Startled while in a movie, yes. Walking out frightened, no.
MacReady: "I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Wo hu cang long) (2000) (Yun-Fat Chow, Michelle Yeoh) The first movie since Star Wars to make me think I was watching something actually magical. I saw it the first night it played in Toronto. I had seen the preview and read a review but otherwise had no clue what I was about to see. The first few minutes really pissed me off, not because of the movie, but because people were laughing at the movie. No one in the theatre knew how to react to the special effects, and there was nervous laughter coming from everywhere. Until "Crouching" every movie from China actually came from Hong Kong and either had bad dubbing or Bruce Lee, and the ones which were really made in China all had smiling tweens and teens wearing red scarves gleefully denouncing the landlords. China has been going through an identity crisis since about the time of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. The country is moving, albeit slowly, away from Communism and is rediscovering its own history as it does so. The fact this movie is set in China and inside Chinese mythology and partially paid for by the Republic is remarkable — "Crouching" was filmed in China, but financed by American, Taiwanese, Hong Kong and Chinese companies, which is equally remarkable considering the relationship between Taiwan and China. When it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, the Oscar actually went to Taiwan. Of course "Crouching" was directed by Ang Lee, who was born in Taiwan and only one of the four stars — Ziyi Zhang — was borne inside the continental borders of China. "Crouching" was, and probably still is, the most beautiful film I've ever watched.
Jade Fox: "Your master underestimated women! He'd sleep with me, but he would never teach me. He deserved to die by a woman's hand."

14 Responses to My Favourite Twenty-Five Movies Because Ten Would Be Stupid And Thirty Would Be Fucking Annoying Part Five Of Five
thordora says:
Spartan is awesome. LOVE IT. Love 'The Salton Sea" with Kilmer in it as well. Lovely movie.
WhoreChurch says:
Thanks for stopping by the church. I appreciate it.
I love the talkies too. It surprised me as I read your list how few of my favorites are on your list. I don't know why I should have been surprised, but I was.
My list would have included these that you also like:
Se7en, A N (redux), Spartan (I like though I don't know if I would place it in the top 25 on my list), The Thing (Both the original and the remake.)
Thanks again for the comment.
WhoreChurch: It's something I plan on doing more of, thanks for coming back this way.
Spartan seemed to be as much an experiment in filmmaking as it was an excellent film. The repetitive dialogue, the simple sets and the implied locations all seemed to be influenced by TV programs like NCIS and 24. I was actually surprised by the US$20M budget of Spartan, there really only seemed to be three sets… the office at the football field, the house on the ocean and the Middle Eastern airport. Spartan didn't make a lot of cash but I'm still surprised there was never a sequel.
Spartan had a few more sets than that; the whorehouse, the white slave house, and a couple other places.
The dialogue struck me as strange. I think I need to give it another watch.
The "white slave house" was the place on the ocean. There were three main sets, with a couple of implied locations… although the initial "running through the brush" could be a fourth. Watch it again and ask yourself where the action is really taking place. There are "establishing shots", like the helicopter flying over the football field, but then the "action" takes place in a couple of low-end offices which could be anywhere. All the stuff in the Middle East feels like Saudi Arabia (or wherever), but really it's just a cargo crate, a room and a dark alleyway with the marketplace and a couple of women in a burqua as the establishing shot. The only location Kilmer's "Man-With-No-Name" character is ever really in is at the end as he walks though London…
Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure they use those kinds of cargo crates on planes…
benji1974 says:
The Thing was a great flick. I remembering enjoying it as a child almost as much as the 1978 remake of Invasion of the body snatchers, which I think is still a better version of the story than the new movie The Invasion.
For a movie that had a $3.5 million budget and the cast that it had it ranks up there pretty high in my book.
Donald Sutherland was freaking awesome in that movie… from what I've heard and seen the latest Invasion was a disaster, but the premise sounded decent. I thought the television program from a few years ago was excellent but it got cancelled because hardly anyone else agreed with me. Shaun Cassidy can't catch a break. His "American Gothic" rocked as well, but it couldn't get an audiance.
Dead Robot says:
Stop rummaging around my movies drawer!
We're pretty much in sync when it comes to fave movies. Some on there I dont know and will check out.
Sutherland is good in just about everything. My favorite sci-fi with him is The Puppet Masters.
I don't know… I'm not going to doubt the brilliance of Mr. Sutherland when he's "on", but I find his roles really hit and miss. I didn't see Puppet Masters, it seemed to be a remake of Invasion only with more slime, but "Six Degrees of Separation" is totally underrated and if you can find "Human Trafficking" — it was a mostly Canadian made for TV mini-series — he was great in it, and I loved his little piece of "JFK".
Dead Robot: If you want me out of your movie drawer you're totally going to have to change the porn in the other drawer.
Gabriel,
You may be right, but I had just come from imdb looking at his films and realized I liked just about every movie he was in. It was surprising to me how many movies he is in fit my particular tastes.
But surely not "Beerfest"? I loved Broken Lizard's "Super Troopers" but even I couldn't get through Beerfest… although The Donald's participation was pretty limited. "Eye of the Needle" is one of my favourite Donald movies, but Sgt. Oddball in "Kelly's Heroes" was probably my favourite Donald character.

ErisBellona
Bellona is the daughter of Hera and Zeus, she was often referred to as Eris or Discord, Goddess of strife and discord by the ancient Romans. Bellona was the usual accomplice of her brother Ares in his schemes to sow dissension among the Olympians. These schemes usually led to violent confrontations, including the Trojan War. At some point Bellona and Ares became husband and wife.
Bellona eventually settled for an event-less existence on Mount Olympus for an undetermined length of time, before she began to train a champion Centaurion to battle on her behalf. Seeking a challenge worthy of her attention she, she sought out the prophetess Sibylla, who told her that she would find the challenge she sought by battling Kyllian, host of the power of a trio of Celtic Gods. Believing that this accomplishment would put her on par with Ares, who had recently met several defeats at the hands of the Asgardian, Thor, Bellona sent her champion to Earth to kill Kyllian. Her plan was foiled when Kyllian evoked the powers of the Celtic gods proving to be too powerful for the Centaurion. Upon arriving on Earth Bellona found her champion defeated, and began to see the error of her plan was to pit a demi-god against one who wields the powers of the gods. Bellona later set aside her scheme to kill Kyllian, believing the he would prove to be more beneficial as a pawn.
Bellona was recently seen using the name Eris, as she fought alongside Hera and her legion of Olympians against the Avengers, at the Olympus Group Towers. As Eris, she soared through the sky on large bird-like wings as she battled the mortal known as the USAgent. Eris used her powers to sow doubt and disbelief into his mind, allowing her to easily take the upper hand in their battle. As Eris prepared to deliver the deciding blow, her sword and the agents' shield vanished into the Continuum, which was matter being transformed into a New Earth. The USAgent was rescued from the battle by his teammate Wasp (Henry Pym). Eris current whereabouts are unknown.

The aim over the next 5 weekends is for the young people to plan a series of family activities for visitors, which will be delivered during the final week of the summer holidays (29th August-2nd September). The theme for the activities, as with the rest of the holiday workshops, is tied in with the Museum's temporary exhibition Sense in the City: smart, connected and on the move. Their work will bring them into further contact with members of the Museum's learning team, particularly our Family Learning Officer, Steve Moorhouse. Preparations are under way and we will keep posting things up as events unfold!


Fourth place side, AS Roma traveled to Milano to take on Inter, at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in round 24 of the 2010-11 Serie A campaign. The second half of the season was in full-swing and Inter had recovered from early struggles under Rafael Benitez, after club and manager agreed to part ways in November.
Under the guidance of Leonardo, the Nerazzurri had climbed up the table and were in a tight Scudetto race against city rivals AC Milan. With the off-season addition of former Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimović, the Rossoneri were sitting top of the league table with a four-point gap ahead of Inter in second place. Only two points separating the Nerazzurri and the Giallorosii, the clash at the San Siro was going to be a high stakes affair.
After Leonardo took over as manager on Christmas Eve, Inter had switched to a 4-3-1-2 formation and went on a five game winning streak. Going into the match against Roma, they had only lost once in their previous eight matches.
After a comfortable 0-3 victory away at Bari over the weekend, Leo rotated the squad players for the Roma match, starting with the center-back pair of Ranocchia and Ivan Cordoba with Zanetti at left-back and Maicon at right-back. A Midfield trio of Cambiasso, Thiago Motta and Houssine Kharja behind the attacking partnership of Giampaolo Pazzini and Samuel Eto'o with Wesley Sneijder as the trequartista.
Under the guidance of Claudio Ranieri, AS Roma had an up and down season thus far. After a horrible start to the season where they managed to win only once through first six rounds, the Romans had gone on a sixteen game stretch where they only lost twice and found themselves only two points behind q second placed Nerazzurri side.
To counter Leonardo's starting line-up, Ranieri went with a traditional his 4-4-2 formation with Julio Sergio in goal and a defense of Cassetti, Burdisso, Juan and Riise. Midfield four of De Rossi, Perrotta, Simplicio and attacking duo of Vucinic and Borriello.
Inter jumped out to an early lead after Maicon set-up Sneijder at the edge of the box, who shot a long-range strike with his "weaker" foot into the top left corner of the goal leaving no chance for defense and the goal-keeper. The visitors bounced right back and immediately went right back at Inter defenses looking for the equalizer. Roma retained possession and created a lot of problems early for Julio Cesar and Inter defenses, as he had to make number of acrobatic saves to keep the score in Inter's favor at 1-0.
However, at the thirteen minute mark, Roma drew level after executing a perfect counter-attack leading to the tying goal by Fabio Simplicio.
Roma didn't back down, taking shot after shot on target and forcing one world-class save after another from Julio Cesar. The score remained on level terms as the momentum shifted back in favor of the Nerazzurri and before half-time, Inter went ahead on a Samuel Eto'o goal resulting from a counter-attack. The Cameroonian legend cut-inside on his left-foot beating Riise and curling the ball underneath the reach of Julio Sergio giving the home-side a 2-1 lead. As the second half continued, the game carried on with the home crowd enjoying the end-to-end action.
However the match took a drastic turn as Burdisso was shown a red card after he brought down Pazzini inside the box, who was through on-goal resulting in an Inter penalty. Eto'o comfortably converted the chance and gave Inter an important two-goal cushion and a 3-1 lead sixty-three minutes into the match. With the visitors down a man, Inter piled on the pressure with Wesley Sneijder dictating the flow of the game and creating a number of chances for the Nerazzurri, however Julio Sergio was in top form and managed to keep the score at 3-1.
Keeping the flying Dutchman at bay was no easy task for the Giallorossi. Sneijder played a beautiful cross from left-wing to the far-right post where Eto'o headed it back towards the center for a wide-open Thiago Motta who headed in Inter's fourth goal of the match.
The game seemed to be headed to be a lopsided win for the home side, however Roma fought back. Four minutes after Motta's goal, Riise's powerful free-kick from distance found an unmarked Mirko Vucinic inside the penalty box who struck home Roma's second goal of the match.
Ranieri's men weren't finished just yet. Just minutes after the Vucinic goal, following a corner kick and Inter's failure to clear the ball away gave the substitute center-back Simone Loria a chance to put away a rebound completely unmarked, bringing the visitors within one goal despite being a man down at San Siro.
With nine minutes plus stoppage remaining of the match, Inter were ahead by one goal, and the match was headed towards a nail-biting finish and kept the Nerazzurri faithful at San Siro at the edge of their seats. What seemed like a comfortable win after getting a three-goal advantage, was slowly turning into a disastrous result for the home side.
However, Esteban Cambiasso was having none of it. Organizing the defense, he led the charge against a 10-man Roma side, scored Inter's fifth goal of the match, as the clock reached the ninety-minute mark, ensuring his side goes out winners in a eight goal thriller with a 5-3 score line.
Inter remained in second place and gain two points against AC Milan, reducing the gap to only 2 points after the Rossoneri had drawn their round twenty-four match against Genoa at the Marassi.

Who Gets to Be an Artist in America? Meet the Gatecrashers Who Bucked Convention.
Without formal training, these artists "crashed the gates" of major museums in the United States, diversifying the art world across lines of race, ethnicity, class, ability, and gender.
By Katherine Jentleson, Merrie and Dan Boone Curator of Folk and Self-Taught Art, High Museum of Art
The newly published book offers a valuable corrective to twentieth-century art history by expanding narratives of interwar American modernism and providing an origin story for contemporary fascination with self-taught artists.
In 1994, the High Museum of Art went out on a limb and became the first general-interest museum in the country to establish a department dedicated to the work of folk and self-taught artists — artists who never went to art school.
Thornton Dial, Sr., Looking Out the Windows, 2002, Metal grating, fabric, plastic toys, stuffed animals, rope carpet, wire fencing, carpet scraps, metal, corrugated metal, metal screening, wire, nails, paint cans, Splash Zone compound, enamel, and spray paint on carpet on wood.
We're talking artists such as Thornton Dial, who grew up in the Jim Crow South and did not have access to a formal art education.
He was even concerned that by making art, he might have been breaking the law, putting himself and his family in danger. So, for decades, he hid or destroyed the incredible art he made from found materials in postindustrial Alabama.
Now Dial's work hangs in museums coast to coast, from the de Young Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. One of his dramatic, truth-telling works, History Refused to Die, even served as the title for a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And here at the High, where we have the leading collection of Dial's work, we are conducting a groundbreaking conservation study of major painted constructions that will explore his artistic and material choices — such as his use of Splash Zone compound to adhere objects to canvases — and how museums can best care for such nontraditional artistic methods as they safeguard his works for posterity.
Thornton Dial, Sr., Crossing Waters, 2006–2011, Wire fencing, clothing, cloth, wood, metal, corrugated tin, shoe, ceramic figurines, and paint on canvas on wood.
But years, decades, nearly a century before contemporary artists like Dial "crashed the gates" of mainstream museums, there was John Kane, a Scottish American immigrant who came to the United States in 1879 to work in the Allegheny region's booming steel industry and wound up becoming the first living self-taught artist to have his work shown in a major contemporary art exhibition.

Next, there was Horace Pippin, one of the many African Americans who served his country in the segregated US Army regiments of World War I and incurred a wartime injury, which he rehabilitated while painting, later becoming one of the first Black artists to be shown by major US museums.

And — last but certainly not least — there was Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses, whose soothing paintings of rural New England life ultimately led her to become the most popular American artist at midcentury, both at home and abroad, the latter thanks to a United States government–backed tour of her painting that debuted in Vienna in 1950.

When Kane, Pippin, and Moses gained acceptance in major museums despite their humble, untutored backgrounds — and all in the last decades of their lives, no less — they forever altered the criteria for who could be celebrated as a great artist in this country. Their achievements, and the way those successes were intertwined with major trends in American art at that time, are the subject of my new book, Gatecrashers: The Rise of the Self-Taught Artist in America.
While I was in graduate school, I began researching these artists in archives of the museums and galleries that first supported them in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Barnes Foundation, and Galerie St. Etienne.
I put all of that research into my dissertation, and over the past couple of years I have had the privilege of working with the editors and designers at the University of California Press to turn that project into Gatecrashers, which is out this month.
I hope the book will be a resource for people who are interested in learning more about Kane, Pippin, and Moses, and serve as proof of how self-taught artists might be considered not as marginalized "outsiders," as they have so often been called, but rather central figures in the history of American art. These days, I'm working on adapting the book into an exhibition that will provide visitors the chance to appreciate the paintings of this first generation of gatecrashing artists in person, so stay tuned!

I'd like to point out a few details that may be obvious, but it's imperative that we are well aware of them. I hope this will inspire and jump-start your personal evolution to help you flow to the best of your ability.
Heraclitus said it in many ways: nothing endures but change; Everything flows, nothing stands still; the only constant is change.The same way the universe is constantly changing, constantly transforming chaos into order, our living cells are always trying to maintain equilibrium and if they cannot, they die and are broken apart, recycled and flushed. Our bodies are refreshing, replacing and regenerating themselves in many ways, all the time. I've always applied this constantly-changing motif to our biological processes since there are millions of things happening simultaneously in our bodies all the time. However, it's even more important that we apply this concept to our personal development and self-education to reach our goals and dreams.
Like a plant, you're either growing or dying.
The statement that we're all either growing or dying is very dramatic and while cellular processes are more complicated than that, it is very true in the long-term. Our mind, body and spirit are constantly adjusting to everything we're experiencing. Every time we reach a new level of skill in something, that automatically becomes the new norm. Conversely, when we stop learning, exercising or practicing, given enough time, we simply fall behind.
There is no such thing as maintaining in the long-term.
In a universe of change, you have no choice but to succumb to it. Since change is the only thing that's happening all the time, if you don't try to ramp yourself up to a new level, you're going to regress. If you're not going forward, you're going backwards. Something must be changing one way or another. If you're just trying to maintain, then you're going backwards. Maintaining is a passive form of regression.
As far as your physical health goes, your body is literally a sculpture in constant progress. If you are exercising regularly but do not vary your workout routine, your body will adapt and go on cruise control. Bodybuilders and athletes are very aware of this exercise plateau. They have to constantly switch up their routines and attack their muscles in different ways to surprise the body and force it to adapt to new levels. If you don't exercise at all, then your muscles and bones will invariably get weaker. If you don't give them any reason to grow, then they will waste away.
However, atrophy is not limited to body parts. The same goes for your mind and spirit. If you have a job and you've learned everything there is to learn in that position, then eventually you're just maintaining that current position. How long will it take before you become a zombie to the routine? If you get sick and tired of a job, you're probably sick and tired of maintaining that position. You need to find a way to grow otherwise it becomes a waste of time and your spirit will want nothing more than to break up the monotony.
Stand at the edge of your comfort zone.
For example, starting this blog is very challenging to me in a lot of fresh ways. When I create a weather video, it's generally kind of exciting because I'm not used to being videotaped and talking to an audience. Pushing myself to new boundaries helps me grow and it makes me feel alive. I can feel the excitement in my heart. I could feel my brain working in new ways. Creating new content, such as this article, is pushing my comfort zone because I'm literally putting my name and image out there directly in front of everyone.
Even if the status quo you're surrounded with is very prestigious, like say, you're a professor at an Ivy league school for decades and you're credited with many discoveries, that is the norm for you and you can easily branch out and push yourself in new ways from that position.
Embrace change with baby steps.
Embrace the fact that you can instantly turn things around for your benefit. All it takes are baby steps. With baby steps you can get anywhere and do anything. It just takes the smallest effort to create a long-term, progressively oriented action. Strive for development and cultivate who you really are and who you want to be. When you get those moments of inspiration, write them down (or type them in your phone) immediately. You never know when those fleeting moments of brilliance will come back.
You will never be the age you are now ever again, so you might as well take advantage of your limited time here on Earth. Don't just wait around for something to happen because waiting will kill your precious time. There is a grand version of you that is so great the universe doesn't even know what to expect. You know that deep inside. Every once in a while, maybe in your dreams or while you're daydreaming, you'll see a glimpse of your dreams turned real; an image of yourself so grand and exquisite that you wonder how you'll ever get there (read: baby steps).
You can have unparalleled control of your health, education, career and relationships if you embrace change. Allow your life to have a healthy theme of progression built-in to it and everything will flow effortlessly. Don't be stagnant! Stagnation leads to missed opportunities, a waste of time, and unrealized dreams. Meet your own expectations and attack your goals with great passion to continually build yourself anew.
I'm really glad I have finally shared this info and I hope this provides some inspiration to truly be who you want to be and achieve those long-term oriented goals. I would love to hear what you have to say and add to this. Please leave your comments below and thank you for reading!


I work as a Security Guard at a Halifax campus and one of my duties is to patrol around the outer perimeter of the campus. It only takes about ten minutes or so to do and very rarely is there very much to report about. So, to make my patrol kind of interesting, I use my imagination to give myself a chuckle once in a while.
There are three big garbage bins from the company Re-Group. The Re stands for Recycle, Reduce and Reuse. Part of my patrol is to walk around them to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is around them. Never was told exactly what was meant by "out of the ordinary". As long as there are no small dead animals or being over run by rats or ants, then, I don't mind covering the territory as required. It is very boring and the garbage cans have become the basis of my imagination.
The garbage bins are square with two flapping lids on the top. Sometimes the lids are open and sometimes they are closed. The words Re Group are written on the front of the bin.
My imagination portrays the bins in an animated form, and I am human, not animated. Similar to the pairing of cartoon and human done on the movie of Roger Rabbit or also, compare it to the movie "The Night at the Museum" with Ben Stiller and all the statues in the museum come to life after the museum closes.
I am walking along on my patrol, minding my business and as I get closer to the area where the bins are, I can hear voices, as if they are in a heated discussion. I turn the corner to walk closer to the where the garbage bins are and they catch a glimpse of me approaching and then I hear, "Shhhh!!!! Sh!!!! Stop talking you two!!! She will hear us!!! Shut your Lid. Come on guys , we need to "ReGroup!!!!" Shh!!!
As I get closer, I walk around the bins, thinking to myself, "I am SURE I heard some voices!!!" Even if I did hear voices, uh, from garbage cans, ha ha, I think All I would hear would be "trash talk".
They are just 'Has-Bins'. I am a lover of using Puns or play on words even when thinking to myself. As sure as I was that i heard voices, I think I was trying to coax a response out of these bins, even though that sounds crazy as the birds.
As I finish my patrol, I walk away. It was either a breeze that flapped the lid on the bin, or was my imagination making me think I heard one of them give me a raspberry as I am walking away.
I turn around and give them a raspberry and continue on my patrol.

Cape Bretonese! The article below has been recovered from an old copy circa 2002 of The Chronicle-Herald, the renowned daily newspaper that has delivered news of the world, Canada and Nova Scotia to the people of the province since 1875. I am proud to say that I worked there as an advertising copywriter from 1994 to 2003.
It is now several years since I left the Herald – as I moved to the Kingdom of Bahrain – but I still feel that I belong to that great community known affectionately as the Herald Family. In addition, as any Bluenose Nova Scotian will tell you, once you become a Nova Scotian you'll always be a Nova Scotian no matter where you go… or as they like to say "you can take the Nova Scotian out of Nova Scotia, but you can't … (take Nova Scotia out of the Nova Scotian)".
I dedicate this section of the blog to the memory of that most beautiful part of the world where the friendly warmth of the people can dispel even the coldest winter day.
To stop and share their little joke with me.
Unmindful of the weather and the sudden chilling breeze.

Happy National Cheese Lover's Day! Cheesy childhood memories often feature Velveeta (melted with Rotel and taco seasoning for the best cheese dip ever) or American cheese (grilled cheese just isn't the same without it). Whenever you pick it up at the grocery store on a wave of nostalgia, you might find the "pasteurized cheese product" label off-putting. However, that's not quite as scary as it seems. Cheese products have added emulsifiers, which binds the cheese's components when it melts. Those of us who've made a grilled cheese from an aged cheddar know the cheese separates into solids, fats, and liquids while melting. We're not saying that cheese products are better than cheese, but we will admit there's just something about a grilled cheese with Kraft singles.
While most American cheeses descended from European recipes, three cheesemakers are collaborating to make a cheese that is entirely American.
