TIFF 2021: The Guilty Review
by Courtney Small | September 12, 2021, 8:50 pm
As a wildfire rages in California, the temperature rises within a 911 dispatched inundated with calls. Fielding emergency calls that range from a married man being robbed by a prostitute to people in need of the fire department, it has been a hectic shift for demoted police officer Joe Bayler (Jake Gyllenhaal). His shift is only about to get longer when he receives a call from a woman, Emily (Riley Keough), who is cryptically announcing that she has been abducted. It is here where Antoine Fuqua's high-concept thriller The Guilty kicks into high gear.
Placing viewers within the pressure cooker environment of the call centre, where swift responses can be the difference between life and death, Fuqua's camera remains tight on Joe as he scrambles to locate the missing woman. Going solely off the information he is given; Joe must use his skills and contacts to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle.
The further down the rabbit hole Joe goes, the more he becomes personally invested in ensuring Emily makes it home safely. Realizing that his colleagues are not displaying the same sense of urgency, a frantic and sweaty Joe decides to break protocol and take matters into his own hands. Clutching his asthma inhaler like a stress ball, Joe's psychological state begins to falter as the gravity of the situation forces him to reflect on his own demons.
Considering the bulk of The Guilty takes place in the call centre, a large portion of which features Joe in a room by himself, Fuqua's film relies heavily on Gyllenhaal's performance to keep the audience invested in Joe's plight. The actor holds up his end of the bargain as he skillfully navigates a wave of emotions to make Joe a complex individual. His facial expression and bulging veins convey every stress point and the rage brewing within.
Despite providing a thrilling performance, Gyllenhaal's heavy lifting cannot raise the film out of the cement its uneven script is trapped in. While I have not watched Gustav Möller's original 2018 film that Fuqua is remaking, one gets the sense that this version is never quite willing to wade in the complicated darkness that it flirts with. This goes for both the harrowing situation that Emily is emersed in and Joe's questionable past as well.
As Joe's mental state slowly descends, the script (by True Detective's Nic Pizzolatto) raises several interesting questions about the nature of policing; including the impact of split-second decisions officers often make without fully taking all the facts into account. However, the film rarely reflects on them with any real depth. At one point, Joe has the audacity to chastises one person for withholding key information, while remaining oblivious to the fact that his own rash judgment never affords the person the opportunity to explain themselves. The scene is quickly defused by Joe justifying his outburst as simply caring about Emily's well-being.
This speaks to one of the central problems with The Guilty, it wants to both be a meditation on policing and mental health while simultaneously still wanting to portray officers as flawed heroes. As one of Joe's colleagues' notes "broken people save broken people." Joe is clearly broken, but the extent of which Fuqua is not willing to fully explore. This makes the disgraced officer's action at the end feel hollow rather than honorable and heroic as the film intends it to. It also does not help matters that Joe's arrogance and deteriorating mental state leads him to repeatedly make bad decision every step of the way.
His missteps are even more glaring since the film's single location and tight close-ups force one to study Joe's every action with greater scrutiny. While Fuqua finds ways to incorporate brief glimpses of the outside of the van Joe envisions that Emily is trapped in, the director primarily relies on quick cuts and reports of the wildfire to visually heighten the tension. Sadly, even this is not enough to save the film from its shortcomings.
Though Gyllenhaal is outstanding in the film, The Guilty lacks the depth to make its daring concept thrilling.
The Guilty screens as a part of TIFF 2021, which runs from September 9 to 18.

Oscar night tonight, and while the event isn't always spectacular, there are plenty of movies worth reviewing.
I've gone through the list of nominees, and I will provide my favorites, based on movies that I personally watched.
The world of movie preferences varies, in the same way that some like this or the other domain, or TLD.
In the end, you don't *have* to watch a chick flick, unless you're on a hot date. Then, you will not only watch it, but you will learn to love it. Guaranteed.
Brilliantly executed, not overly futuristic representation of a sense-rich future. Great acting and cinematography.
Even if you hate DiCaprio, his performance was outstanding. Captured the essence of decadence.
Her role was decisive in the success of this movie. Can she beat Meryl Streep?
He was better than DiCaprio in this great example of corporate debauchery.
Great acting for a role so painfully real.
Let the Oscar night unfold. Enjoy!

The arrival of a second child in the family might be a joyous occasion for you as a parent, but the same cannot be said about the firstborn. Children, no matter what their age may be, do not take the arrival of the second child too heartily. Far from it, they are hit by a new sense of insecurity and tension. As a result, you will find the attitude of your first born changing overnight. This can pose a serious challenge for the parents. As it is, they have a whole new list of duties to attend, with the arrival of the new baby. On top of that, the rowdy behaviour of their firstborn creates a world of problems. In such a scenario it is easy to lose temper on the elder child and start scolding, but that is not the ideal solution. It is more important to seek permanent solutions rather than temporary relief. If the sibling rivalry is not cut short at this early stage, it can grow into a huge future problem that you might have to contend with every day.
As a parent, you want solutions rather than general counselling at this stage. In your mind, you still hold your first born as precious as he was before the arrival of the second child. So, why not show love and reiterate this point across to the child. You will be amazed how your one to one interactions and love can work wonders on the psyche of the child. With your constant counselling, the child would forget all about the rivalry (may be read as insecurity too) and start loving his little brother or sister. So, here are some ways in which the firstborn might show his displeasure and accordingly have a plan of action to counter the scenario.
Scenario #1: Why is the baby sleeping on my bed?
As ever your child is very protective of his belongings. So, long he has had to share the bed with only the parents, and he has done so lovingly. But with the arrival of the new baby, he sees a threat to his kingdom. So, violent demonstrations prior to the sleeping time are general. Do not make the scenario worse, by banishing the kid to a separate room. Child Psychologists believe that the same routine should be followed till at least three months after the new baby's birth. Counsel the kid, as to why sharing the bed with the new brother or sister only makes sleeping time more fun. Also, allow him a space beside the baby, so that he feels cared for.
Scenario #2: Why do I have to bathe myself?
This is a classic case of regression. Parents take great pains in teaching new skills to their first born, but once the new baby arrives he will show babyish signs of going back to the old ways. He will whine about bathing, eating or even studying himself. He will want the parents to be beside him all the while. Again, this behaviour arises from a sense of insecurity. He feels that by forcing the mother or father to give him a bath he would have a better chance of gaining their love. It is a type of competition. In such a scenario, it would be a disastrous idea to bring up the "grown-up boy" talk. For one or two days, you might have to follow his request. But while you are giving a bath do reiterate that all boys in his class are independent enough to bathe themselves!
Scenario #3: You do not love me anymore!
This is a common complain that you will hear from the firstborn. There is a mistake on your part too. Most parents get very busy after the arrival of their second baby (and very logically so). This means they cannot dedicate the same amount of time to their first born. A child, who so long was the centre of all attraction, has now been cast away to a side. The resentment that brews in the mind of your first born is very logical, then. You can counsel the kid all you want, but complaints will keep on coming. What you really need to do is spend some one-to-one time with the firstborn every day. We understand that this can be a tall claim, given your present schedule. But for the betterment of the relationship between the siblings you need to vacate some time and just sit with the firstborn. You will find that much resentment will vanish as you talk to him.
Again, this is an expression that you might hear from the elder sibling many times in a day. Do not expect this hatred to turn into love overnight. Scolding the kid for expressing his displeasure is again not the right way to approach the scenario. It will take time, counselling and supervision to turn the tides in this case. Just because the firstborn hates the baby, does not mean he wants to hurt it. So, the first step would be to allow the elder one hold the baby in his arms and even give some of the new baby's responsibilities upon him. When the mother and the elder kid work together to care for the baby, a sense of attachment quickly forms between the three. With time you can leave the elder one alone with the baby while spying on him from the sides. Slowly, you will find that the elder one accepts the newcomer to be his brother or sister and tempers tame down.
Scenario #5: I wish my mother would hug only me!
This is not jealousy, it is rather the wailing of a kid who wants to stay close to his mother (and do not go by the tone of the kid, here). He wants to be loved, hugged and kissed in the same way as you always used to before the baby arrived. And even you would accept that you have not hugged him even half of the times as before, after the arrival of the baby. So, when he claims this, leave aside all the other tasks and give him a tight hug with some kisses and cuddles. In the next step, pick up the baby and hug both the siblings together. Without speaking a word, you have communicated to the elder kid how much you love both. This will also improve the sibling's camaraderie.
There might be many other scenarios that arise during a day in your life as a parent, but these are some of the most common ones. As a parent, you have to make an endeavour to understand the psychology of the elder kid and try to console him whenever there is a crisis. We hope that the suggestions we have provided above would help you manage both the siblings better and improve the relationship between them.

Dead Sea Scrolls Deciphered
This week the BBC news released an article on the last remaining fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls. There were six fragments written in code, which were finally deciphered by Dr Eshbal Ratson and Prof Jonathan Ben-Dov of Haifa University.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were originally found between 1947 and 1956 in caves in Qumran on the western shore of the Dead Sea. A young Bedouin shepherd stumbled across the caves when looking for lost sheep. He found jars which contained fragments of 900 scrolls; some of them were complete scrolls. It is believed an ancient Jewish sect called the Essenes were responsible for the scrolls.
The newly deciphered code reveals the names of Jewish festivals observed that recognized the seasonal transitions, which include Shavuot (Pentecost). The festivals related to Pentecost include New Wheat, New Wine, and New Oil. Researches believe this new decipher helps them understand how the scrolls were arranged originally.
The Dead Sea Scrolls have affirmed the reliability of scripture and is relevant to your faith in the written Word of God. If you would like to learn more about the Scrolls, the Leon Leavy Digital Library has a variety of information to help you understand the scrolls. They have the following subjects: Historical Background, Timelines, Discovery and Publication, Discovery Sites, Content of the Scrolls, Languages and Scripts, and Conversation.

Department of Economic Development: Latest CDBG Planning Recipients Focus on Disaster Recovery, Prevention
Published on aaron.mack at July 31, 2019
The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) has announced the latest round of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recipients under the program's Planning category.
The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) has announced the latest round of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recipients under the program's Planning category. This time, each of the grantees — the communities of Schuyler, Greeley and co-applicant Fremont-Inglewood — all have something in common: they will use their funding to address the impacts of the March, 2019 floods, while becoming better-equipped to withstand future events.
"The CDBG Planning category is a flexible, forward-thinking resource that is now supporting Nebraska communities' efforts not only to rebuild in the wake of a disaster, but to become stronger and more resilient than ever," said DED Director Dave Rippe.
In early April, DED released a notification reminding communities that not only was the application cycle for the CDBG Planning category still open, but planning funds could be used to support disaster response. In all $125,125 was available for award, with individual communities eligible for up to $40,000 and multijurisdictional applicants eligible for $60,000. Per the CDBG program's national objectives, projects needed to benefit a service area comprised of at least 51% low-to-moderate income individuals and families.
DED notified recipients of their awards earlier this month.
In Fremont-Inglewood, a $60,000 award and $15,000 local match will support a study of the local levy, which was breached during the March floods. In Fremont, over 356 residential and commercial properties were damaged by the water, while around 90 percent of homes in Inglewood had some level of damage. The planning study will evaluate the levy's existing condition and determine the feasibility and costs of improving its integrity to prevent future catastrophes.
With a $25,125 award and $7,375 in matching funds, Greeley will evaluate severe damage that occurred to its wastewater treatment facility. At the peak of the flooding, the plant was submerged in two to five feet of water, resulting in its complete shutdown and a severe impact on residents. The evaluation will give Village leaders guidance on how to move forward with repairs and/or replacement or relocation of the facility, as well as potential groundwater remediation measures.
Finally, Schuyler's $40,000 award and $12,500 in local match will help the City assess the performance of its interior drainage system. At one point during the floods, all eight of the city's sewer outlet points were completely submerged; this caused sewers to back up and spill out onto the streets in the city's southeast corridor, which contains the downtown district. The planning study will determine potential actions to reduce the deficiency of the drainage system and decrease the risk of backwater flooding from nearby streams.
Applications for the next round of CDBG Planning funds are being accepted until October 30. Earlier this month, the agency also announced an open cycle for non-specific disaster-related funding under CDBG's Emergent Threat category. For more information on that funding source, visit https://opportunity.nebraska.gov/CDBG/applications, or read the corresponding press release at https://opportunity.nebraska.gov/ded-announces-open-cycle-for-new-cdbg-category/.

Small business owners often have difficulty accessing traditional bank loans. Regularly, small business owners receive solicitations from risky, unregulated online lenders with extortionist rates and terms. The CFPB data collection under Section 1071 of Dodd-Frank is critical to making sure small business owners like me have a fair shot at succeeding.
Since the financial crisis, small business bank loans have decreased by 20 percent, while loans to larger businesses have increased over the same period. Nearly half of all small business owners experience problems accessing credit.
The situation is worse for women- and minority-owned businesses.
Businesses located in minority neighborhoods are less than half as likely to receive loans compared to businesses in white neighborhoods.
Only 28 percent of minority borrowers are approved for loans, compared to 67 percent of non-minority borrowers.
30 percent of Black business owners report receiving less in loans than requested, compared to 12 percent of White business owners.
Small business owners are forced to turn to predatory lenders for needed financial capital. Predatory lenders provide loans with high interest rates, onerous terms, and poor customer service.
Fintech loans (loans given out through non-bank financial technology, i.e. mobile payments, money transfers, loan fundraising, etc.) have effective interest rates that range from 100 percent to 367 percent, and include "junk" fees averaging $795 per loan.
The average fintech borrower pays an APR of 94 percent, with rates reaching as high as 358 percent. Hispanic borrowers face an average monthly payment of more than 400 percent of take home pay.
In order to ensure equity in capital access, no lending institution should be exempt from the data collection requirement, including commercial banks, community banks, credit unions, online banks, and non-bank lenders like fintech companies and merchant cash advances.
Robust data collection by banks and other lending institutions is critical to understanding the prevalence and extent of redlining. Financial institutions that are not complying with fair lending laws must be held accountable to the fullest extent of law.
I urge decisive and prompt implementation of Section 1071, so that small business owners have a fair shot at securing the capital we need to succeed.

In the right time she was dating the band's drummer Steven Adler .
However when he took another woman out Adriana exacted swift revenge by bedding Rose – just for Adler to go back and get them at it, having an unwitting Slash additionally into the sleep.

In late 1986 she travelled to ny to invest time utilizing the musical organization while they completed blending their debut album Appetite For Destruction, which may carry on to market 30 million copies and showcased Rocket Queen as well as other classics like Sweet Child O' Mine.
Adriana stated Slash urged her never to again flirt with Axl because it would disturb Steve.

"I happened to be certain that wasn't likely to be advantageous to the main cause. It had been type of in my own head that We had made this big blunder."
Adriana came clean to Steven after Axl insisted her credit showed up from the album as Adriana "Sex Machine" Smith.
It inevitably resulted in tensions involving the bandmates. Adriana said: "Steven is the exact opposite of Axl.

But Axl and Slash ?have placed their long-running feud in it to headline ?the Not In This life time trip, with hopes of the Wembley date when you look at the belated summer.?
Adriana claims their return is fuelled by cash in the place of an aspire to commemorate three decades because the band's development.
She nevertheless harks back once again to the times whenever she fraternised because of the musical organization and their co-writer Aaron West Arkeen, who passed away from the medications overdose aged simply 36.
She reminisced: "Rocket Queen had been the things I had been most well-known for, but we see myself as a pal for them most likely those crazy times. I will be still buddies with Slash. Despite the fact that every thing got all messed up using the musical organization we remained in contact.
"But that ended up being a time that is different I could never see myself with any of the band now – it was an instant in time if the movie movie stars aligned like this. ?I have tr?ied to reach ?out to ?Axl? through individuals, but have actually never really had an answer.
"I nevertheless care about him?. We valued our friendship?, nevertheless do."
She wish to see a lot more of the band's old faces mixed up in tour, including: "From a fan's viewpoint a reunion that is true be great.
"It might be best for everybody should they could place apart old hurts, old aches and carry on phase together because this might be their final time. They are able to do with a– that is therapist exorcise their demons."
While GN'R fans lap up the band's latest reincarnation, Adriana unveiled her other hit using the musical organization.
She recalled: "from the an ongoing celebration in LA. Slash kept daring me personally to punch a woman he, Steven and Axl had slept with. Therefore I went up and punched her square into the face. This giant battle broke out. It had been crazy. The cops arrived, Slash got arrested and his top hat got lost."
However the rocker had not been without their trademark titfer for very long. Adriana added: "All the stripper girls compensated their bail and got him away from prison. and purchased him another hat."


Preeclampsia is one of the most common and serious complications of pregnancy and it 2-7% of pregnancies in the western world. In developing countries such as Colombia, preeclampsia accounts for the 42% of maternal deaths and is the major reason for premature delivery. The exact etiology is unknown but it seems to be related to abnormal development of placenta.
If it remains untreated leads to a convulsive state called eclampsia.
First signs of preeclampsia appear after 20 weeks of gestation and consist of high blood pressure (systolic more than 140 and diastolic more than 90) and presence of protein in urine. It may persist as late as 4-6 weeks after delivery.
Disorders of blood clotting (Thrombophilias, Protein C deficiency, Protein S deficiency).
If you have two or more of these together, then your chances of preeclampsia are higher.
What are the Symptoms and Signs of Preeclampsia?
It is possible to have preeclampsia without any symptoms at all! Consult regularly your doctor to track your blood pressure.
Keep in mind that the core feature that differentiates preeclampsia from other causes that increase blood pressure during pregnancy is the presence of protein in urine.
The complications of preeclampsia may affect both the mother and embryo.
Delivering the embryo through cesarean section remains the most important part of treatment in over 60 years.
Mild preeclampsia usually is managed with bed rest (in order to lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the placenta). Additionally, close monitoring of kidney and liver function is needed as well as medications to prevent seizures (like magnesium and anticonvulsants).
Severe preeclampsia requires hospitalization and close monitoring and medications to prevent convulsions and pulmonary edema (i.e. fluid in lungs).
In certain cases the doctor may consider urgent delivery of the fetus, so corticosteroids are given in order to speed up maturation of the baby's lungs.
Preeclampsia will persist for 6 weeks after delivery.
Eclampsia happens when preeclampsia is complicated by seizures. It is an absolute emergency and requires immediate hospitalization, emergency delivery of the fetus and medications to treat high blood pressure and seizures.
HELLP syndrome is a severe type of preeclampsia that puts in risk of death both the mother and the fetus. In this situation, usually two options of treatments are considered: Immediate delivery of the fetus and medications (corticosteroids, anticonvulsants and lowering blood pressure agents).
How I Can Prevent Preeclampsia?
If you suffer from eating disorders like bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa consult frequently your psychologist.
Do not use over the counter drugs without doctor's advice.
Hypertension affects 6-10% of pregnancies, but there are few studies about incidence of high blood pressure after delivery. The most common cause of postpartum hypertension is high blood pressure during pregnancy or pre-eclampsia that persists after delivery. Women with pre-eclampsia have a 3.7-fold increased risk to develop high blood pressure in the future. Besides it is not uncommon for pre-eclampsia to appear for the first time after delivery. If your blood pressure readings remain high for more than 6 weeks after delivery, you should consult a specialist.
Hypertension is not itself a contraindication to breastfeeding, but certain medications for high blood pressure may be an issue. You should not breastfeed if have been prescribed any type of diuretics (i.e water pills).

This week, we are going to talk about being sure that your non special needs child gets some normal childhood memories. This can be difficult when you are up to your gills with therapy appts and all the other things that accompany autism.
One thing that I try to do with Madison is to foster relationships with other children her age. Children who don't know what a Pecs schedule is or what ot/pt stands for. Who don't know what toys are appropriate for the Dr's waiting room vs. the therapist. Who are interested in Barbies and iCarly.
This Saturday, we are going to a birthday party for one of her Sunday School friends at Backyard Adventure. This is an indoor place where there are lots of bounce house and other fun things to play on. This would be sensory overload for Logan. He would get so disregulated because he really doesn't feel competent when it comes to gross motor stuff. This would keep Madison from having fun. Simply put, that's not fair.
So, Logan will spend the morning taking care of Nana. We will go over and feed her breakfast and put the dog up. Logan will get what she needs and let the nurse and physical therapist into the house. Madison will get to run and play and not think about autism for a couple of hours. This will recharge her batteries and make her a better sister for Logan. Everyone wins in the end.


I had to make sure that our friend didn't get lost and missed Betty's Tea Room in Ilkley as she departed for York.
We also managed to try out a bit of road that I had seen, but wasn't sure if it was connected to where we needed to go. Good news is that this cuts out a big roundabout and makes life easier to cross a A road.
Do come back soon Nikki!

I had the opportunity to become involved with Liberty Trust when it first started back in 1989. At that time I was single and thought that this was a great opportunity for me to get ahead later on. I got married to Leanne in 1991 and we started the hard slog of saving for a house. Eighteen months later we had purchased our home and we were eagerly waiting for our first baby to arrive. Our finances were tight at the time and we often wondered how we were going to survive with paying a mortgage and paying our contribution towards LT. We knew that God's timing was perfect but it didn't make it any easier! There were quite a few times where we wanted to give up but thank God we kept going. Finally, in early 2000, came the offer to refinance our mortgage interest free.
In 2003 the opportunity arose to work full time for Livingwell Church in Rotorua. With our family having grown to 3 kids we had been looking for some time for a bigger house. With the drop in salary it seemed impossible that we could afford a larger mortgage but God is a bigger God than we think! One day we happened on a house that was perfect in size and location. Our interest free loan was not enough to cover the purchase of this house so we faced going back to a bank to get the finance. While waiting for our offer to be accepted we received a phone call from Kathleen to say that someone who didn't need their loan anymore had gifted their balance to us. This gave us enough money to have our entire mortgage interest free.
While it hasn't always been easy we have been incredibly blessed to have our mortgage with LT. We look forward to being able to pass that blessing on to others in the future.

2021 Genesis G80 3.5 AWD Prestige: A DriveWays Review…
There's a new boss luxury car in town. It's called the 2021 Genesis G80, an all-new full-size four-door that behaves more like a capable compact or a scrappy midsize sports sedan.
Depending on which of nine versions you select, you can drive off in a relatively inexpensive near-luxury rear-wheel drive family car well suited to long-distance motoring. Or if you have more bucks to slap on the table, a dazzling twin-turbo performer with all-wheel drive and the bones to challenge luxury/high-performance European marques.
In automotive terms, Genesis is still in kindergarten, just five years old. It started as the top model in the Hyundai lineup from South Korea. In 2015, the company established it as Genesis Motor LLC, a separate luxury brand, not unlike Acura issued from Honda and Lexus begat from Toyota.
Now it has moved from a company with a few sedans to rudely intruding with its GV lineup into the luxury crossover sport utility territory, threatening competitors from Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, Acura and Lexus. The GVs likely have the potential to follow in the tire tracks of the G70, G80 and G90 sedans, as well as the acclaimed new Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride midsize crossover sport utility vehicles.
The 2021 Genesis G80 was one of 10 semifinalists for North American Car of the Year. They were selected by a panel, or jury, of 50 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada, of which this reviewer is one. Competitors come from Acura, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Nissan and even Hyundai, the Genesis parent company.
Two of the nine Genesis models — called trim levels in the industry — were evaluated. One was the G80 all-wheel-drive Advanced, a step-and-a-half up from the base Standard. It's a classy near-luxury car with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque via an eight-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode. The EPA city/highway/combined fuel consumption rating is 22/30/25 mpg.
The Advance comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated faux leather seats, three-zone automatic climate control, a power trunk-lid, and a 21-speaker audio system. All G80s come with rear-wheel drive standard but all-wheel drive is available for $3,150.
The other Genesis was the top-line 3.5 AWD Prestige model, with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque, also with an eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and a manual-shift mode. Its EPA fuel economy is 18/26/21 mpg.
Starting prices range from $56,475, including the destination charge, for the 2.5 Advanced to $68,675 for the 3.5 Prestige. As tested, the 2.5 had a bottom-line sticker of $56,475 and the 3.5's came to $69,075.
Either way, the G80 is a lot of a car. With 122 cubic feet of interior space — divided into 107 cubic feet for passengers and 15 cubic feet in the trunk – it is classified as large by the EPA. It can carry five comfortably with four commodious seats and a fifth center-rear seat that is less accommodating but not as onerous as those in many other cars.
Both models give you a sumptuous interior, including perforated Nappa leather upholstery on the 3.5, beautiful Matte finish interior wood trim that would not look out of place on a Bentley or the stock of a bespoke Holland and Holland shotgun, and a host of state-of-the-art safety features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, evasive steering torque assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, lane-keeping assist and rear cross-traffic braking.
On the performance side, both G80s have much to recommend them. The all-wheel drive Prestige delivers rocket acceleration, estimated here in the five-second range for zero to 60 mph. The 2.5 is not as quick but won't be embarrassed anywhere, more in the seven-second range. Both are quiet cruisers with straight-line stability and capable handling on twisting mountain roads.
In this era, infotainment simplicity is becoming increasingly important. It seems that luxury manufacturers make their systems needlessly puzzling — perhaps thinking that customers equate complexity with the pricey drain on their pocketbooks. Yet infotainment systems on inexpensive cars are often more intuitive than those on luxury cars. The Genesis G80 mostly falls into the ease-of-use category, though a few functions can be frustrating.
But, hey, we said at the outset that the Genesis G80 is the new boss in town. Get over it.
Model: 2021 Genesis G80 3.5 AWD Prestige four-door sedan.

Decision 2018
Kansas voters receive strange texts, purportedly from Trump
Democrats worried the messages were part of efforts to "steal" a close governor's race featuring Republican Kris Kobach, who the president has endorsed.

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas election officials are reviewing text messages claiming to be from President Donald Trump and telling residents that their early votes hadn't been recorded, as Democratic leaders worried Thursday that they were part of efforts to "steal" a close governor's race.
State Elections Director Bryan Caskey said the Kansas secretary of state's office received 50 or 60 calls about the texts Wednesday, mostly from the northeastern part of the state. Caskey said the office is trying to determine whether the texts broke a law before determining what to do next.
One text says "Your absentee ballot is ready. Remember to vote for Pres. Trump's allies." A follow-up text says, "This is President Trump. Your early vote has NOT been RECORDED on Kansas's roster." It urges the voter to confirm his or her polling place.
Democrats are on edge because Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the state's top elections official, is a Trump ally and the Republican nominee for governor. He's in a dead heat with Democratic state Sen. Laura Kelly after defeating GOP Gov. Jeff Colyer in the August primary by only 343 votes out of more than 317,000 cast.
Kansas Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, and Kansas House Minority Leader Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, said during a Statehouse news conference that they worry the texts are confusing voters because at least a few Democrats received them. Ward said some new voters may conclude that the voting process is too complicated and give up.
"The whole purpose of sending it out is to sow confusion," Ward said. "Remember, we're talking about an election that can be determined by 300 or 400 votes. So, 50 here, 50 there, 50 there, pretty soon, you've stolen an election."
They called on Kobach and his chief deputy, Eric Rucker, to step aside from administering elections so that final decisions in the secretary of state's office are left to Caskey.
Kobach spokeswoman Danedri Herbert said he does not plan to step aside because he has a responsibility under the state constitution to oversee elections. She noted that most states, including Kansas, give the job to an elected official.
As for the top Democrats, she said, "Their claims are ridiculous."
County election officials handle the actual counting of votes. The job is overseen by an elected clerk in 101 of 105 counties. Election commissioners appointed by Kobach are in charge in the state's four most populous counties, which are home to almost half of the state's more than 1.8 million registered voters.
Ward and Hensley sent an open records request Thursday to Kobach demanding copies of all written and electronic communications between him, his employees and his county election officials since the Aug. 7 primary.
"We're not trying to cause chaos. We're trying to make sure they know we're watching and we're not going to let them steal an election, OK?" Ward said. "This is an incredibly close election and any mistake or any action that diminishes or suppresses the vote could swing an election."
The texts to voters link to a website for the Republican National Committee, and Kansas Republican Party Chairman Kelly Arnold said he suspects that's who sent the messages. He said the texts didn't come from state party officials.
The RNC didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
But Arnold said the texts appeared to be part of a get-out-the-vote effort. He said party officials pay for regular updates on who has requested and returned advance ballots or voted early in person, though that information can sometimes be slightly outdated.
"We are trying to get out as much information to our voters as possible," Arnold said.
Caskey said voters should only trust voting information that comes from state or local election officials. He added that this is the first time the state has received a complaint about the content of a text, which campaigns have increasingly used this election cycle.
Lyon County Clerk Tammy Vopat, a Republican, said she spoke to one man who received one of the texts after voting early and assured him that his vote would be tabulated on election night. She said the texts, which she described as "bogus" were discussed Wednesday during a routine weekly phone call with state and county election officials.
"It worries me that information like this is being sent out that puts doubt in our voters' minds," Vopat said.

Standardized surveillance syndromes do not exist but would facilitate sharing data among surveillance systems and comparing the accuracy of existing systems. The objective of this study was to create reference syndrome definitions from a consensus of investigators who currently have or are building syndromic surveillance systems.
Clinical condition-syndrome pairs were catalogued for 10 surveillance systems across the United States and the representatives of these systems were brought together for a workshop to discuss consensus syndrome definitions.
Consensus syndrome definitions were generated for the four syndromes monitored by the majority of the 10 participating surveillance systems: Respiratory, gastrointestinal, constitutional, and influenza-like illness (ILI). An important element in coming to consensus quickly was the development of a sensitive and specific definition for respiratory and gastrointestinal syndromes. After the workshop, the definitions were refined and supplemented with keywords and regular expressions, the keywords were mapped to standard vocabularies, and a web ontology language (OWL) ontology was created.
The consensus definitions have not yet been validated through implementation.
The consensus definitions provide an explicit description of the current state-of-the-art syndromes used in automated surveillance, which can subsequently be systematically evaluated against real data to improve the definitions. The method for creating consensus definitions could be applied to other domains that have diverse existing definitions.

"Great service , very professional and knowledgeable . He repaired my car within hours . I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone !"
"This is my 3rd service done to my Mercedes. Each visit felt customer service and integrity of timeliness was lacking. My vehicle was fine and stalled after a quick trip to store, then started and again few miles later stalled and restarted again with engine light on only after being unable to start and continuing to rev with a new battery. Spoke to Rob 0800 Mon am who said get car there and he would get to by Tues. I had to call before closing Tues to determine my vehicle was next on list to get looked at. Weds.. I called them again and was reassured my engine malfunction was an old code and nothing wrong with my vehicle but brakes done wrong. I had googled my issue and it said my crankshaft position sensor was going and told Rob that Mon. He said he didnt agree with google but would see. This is what read on my new battery as a code. He cleared it said it was an old code and had me picked up to come get car. The car died 3x on 4 miles home and is now stuck off the road again. Charged me $60 for keeping my car 3 days and not fixing. Then when I was on phone because I complained he didnt listen to me or google or the computer and that I was willing to pay whatever and instead I was in same position. Then He said 'you know what I wont even work on your car again'..?? Seriously the last time I had my car in for oil it took an extra day cause they ordered the wrong oil for my mercedes on a $130 oil change took 3 days..I almost didn't go to him because of his history, but he is nearest to me and I trusted his work. Be forewarned this business doesn't know how to give estimates..or say they are too busy and turn away business or hire more on to get job done. You have to ask if you're done cause they have a very rude receptionist that gets on other calls and ignores you..lets you wait ten minutes for nothing while she talks on the phone. You have to call to see if you're car is ready..have never got a call from them in 3 visits..I seriously am about fair..I am 100% Ebay customer since 2002 and I give honest reviews..Th"
"Rob takes care of our fleet of vehicles. He is always fair on pricing and absolutely stands behind his work. Only one glitch ever, and he took care of it professionally. I recommend his shop to everybody that asks if I know of a good shop. He will continue to take care of our vehicles."
"You won't find a better place, treats you right good pricing and dose the job right the 1st time you want the best go to ROB auto he works on all my car and my R.V.'s. My kids and sister in law take there vehicle to him that a lot of trust when I send my kid car to a mechanics place to have work done on there vehicle. Thanks Rob keep up the go work."
"This shop can fix the old and the new. Priced reasonably with good explanation of your problem. Will be back, highly recommended"
"When I have taken my Camry to Rob's Auto Repair I am always exceptionally pleased with the outstanding service I receive. The high standards and superior quality of workmanship is so rare nowadays. I have been impressed with the consistency, dependable and honesty when I have taken my vehicle in for maintenance or repaired. It feels like old fashioned standards are upheld here and I am always pleased with the timeliness and reasonable cost for the work that has been done. I look forward to many more years of working with your team."
"I use to think this shop was great and i would recommend others but not any more. Poor customer service the last time i was there. I asked to have certain items fixed but they were not...the owner rob seems to focus more on his u-haul and Breathalyzer sercustomers then car repairs.the waiting room is tiny with one small couch to sit on. no meet and greet customers. I would NOT go to this shop again."

Piano Odyssey is a solo album by Rick Wakeman, former keyboardist with Yes and pianist on some of David Bowie's greatest songs. Wakeman pays homage to The Six Wives of Henry VIII, his solo release from 1973, with a thrilling new arrangement of the Bach-inspired "Jane Seymour," and covers considerable musical ground throughout with his orchestra and choir. It's a showcase not just for his technical talents, but also for his arranging skills, with Wakeman tackling Handel, Dvořák, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"—with a guest appearance from the band's Brian May—The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever," Liszt, and a couple of Yes songs. It's all delivered with imagination and style.

^ that would make collecting easier as I think from memory there's only about 9 sets that actually say it on the box.
Any SW set that has 1,927 pieces and 17 minifigs is an ultimate one in my book.
Geez. I was confounded there for a minute.
Although I don't see too many spots where a NISB UCS Naboo Fighter is available for lessthan $500...
I could have sworn the VW would be gone last year when they threw in a mini-VW poly with the purchase of a big one. The lesson learned for me from this is that if TLG ever throws in mini-death star polybag with the purchase of a large scaled one, I won't take the bait. That's just one in a list of about 50 reasons I wouldn't consider purchasing a DS. That and it's not a true UCS set... :wink:
^ Double thumbs up. :)
This set is a thorn in my side. Very, very difficult to piece together. I'm one decorated chrome silver wedge short. The darn things are never available on BL.
^Which wedge? The large one? Right or left? I may have one.
That would be swell. The right one.
^How far to Paradisa from your place?
10 minutes by ferry. Fabuland is a haul - too many tolls. ;)
^I got a Naboo Starfighter in a lot I bought not too long ago. There were pieces, but apparently not the whole thing. If it turns up, I will let you know. Sorry :(

I dunno, if the DS poly was as cool as the mini VW bus, I'd bite!
Tell you what, make a special mini DS as an ornament for the next SW Advent Calendar "Day 25", and you'd get me to bite.
Not me, I am not going to bite. The DS is long in the tooth and I was ready to move on a while ago. Looking forward to seeing "The Force Awakens" sets.
^I meant a mini DS. As for the regular one, oh, I'm done with that. Frankly, even if they updated it, I wouldn't touch a new one either.
A flag? Really? Seriously, it is a crap shoot trying to figure out what sets will EOL/Retire. All you can do is make an educated guess based on previous data.

Today I bought my first set that has the potential to be an investment.
I got the tower of ortanc for 195 euro in a lego stor (a tembo, best lego store in the Netherlands) while it is already retired at lego.
This set has potential I think for 2 reasons,1:it is a rare set. More rare then many of the other expensive sets so the first criteria for investment is met (the set being rare). 2:It is a popular theme, lord of the rings is based on a book that will be read 100 years from now and I think the theme of the book will always be appealing, and with that the set should be appealing and desireable as well so my 2nd criterium for investing is also met (the set has to be desirable,look good/have an appealing theme). I think the popularity of lotr will last longer then the popularity of recent movies that are not realy based on anything and that also have several lego sets.
Also there is this thing of over saturation,that is now happening with starwars lego. There are so many different sets from so many different vehicles and ships that a new set is like a drop in the ocean, it somehow doesn't feel special anymore,its just another ship/vehicle where we already have 100+. All the truly iconic ones have already been made and starwars as a theme is not as popular as it was like in the 80,s. There are many popular and alternative themes now like the hobit/lotr or the marvel super heros (never understood why people like that btw,but I do see its popular in the states)
Will still make the tower and not use it as an investment but I do think it can reach ~500 in 2 years.

Rip the seals and enjoy! I have only 10 as I am a bit nervous on this one.
Not feeling 10237 either. It has the Diagon Alley vibe all over it. SW is where the big money will be made the next 5 years.
^^^Apparently, someone is monkeying around with a post I made a few days ago ;)
Personally, I would buy The Tumbler before I would buy The Tower of Orthanc with my investment dollars.
Tough to say how many Orthancs were produced, much like the DS.
Now I want a mini-Orthanc and mini-DS!
How many people are really hoarding Diagon Alley expecting disproportionate growth?
I hoarded a bunch of UCS Batmobiles from Toys 'r' Us because nobody was buying them. Happy coincidence they've shot up dramatically in price recently.
I think this is where we are these days. I changed strategy some time ago and 'only' have 5 of each exclusive that's more than likely to retire in the next 12 months. I no longer have that confidence to go in big on one set so I'm just spread betting. I have a reasonable stash of retired exclusives that are doing well but I refuse to sell them to finance new sets due to the lack of confidence I'm experiencing. I genuinely believe that for myself this year the best plan is to sit tight and do relatively little. Loads will disagree but the set I've most confidence in performing post eol is #10214
^I only have 3 DA's left. I have been selling them gradually.
@Pmh , you don't understand why people like Marvel Superheroes? The Age of Ultron has grossed over $1.18 Billion. It is already the 8th highest grossing film of All-Time. Star Wars not as popular as a theme? There is a reason why there are a ton of Star Wars sets. Disney wouldn't be making more Star Wars movies if it wasn't popular.
Hmm, no I do understand. I just mean that to me its not appealing. Movies bring in more money every year and every decade. Sometimes I think its due to inflation,lol.And Disney will keep making movies off course,its what Disney does. I do see that marvel super heroes is very popular in the usa and maybe also in asia. Here in Europe its not such a huge hype i think,though I am also a bit to old to judge that to be honest. Still I wonder how popular it will be in say one decade from now.
I didn't follow anything lego when the diagon alley set came out but I do think there are a few differences with the tower.First,while de diagon aley definitely does not look bad it does not have that wow factor,at least for me. The tower has that wow factor,it looks stunning (from the pictures,havent finished building yet) and its just absolutely bad ass. Who here didn't try to build the highest lego tower at least once as a kid? Then second I think the theme of lord of the rings has a bit more "staying power" then harry potter, even though I personally like them equally. Also important is that there are not to many lotr sets,its not impossible to collect them all,and the theme is nicely continued with the hobbit line that also only has a few sets. Some of those sets seem to do pretty well already.
Yeah...this is a tough call for me because I really like both sets. But if I absolutely had to choose one set over the other, I would go with the UCS Tumbler too. Toss in a Bat-Pod and it's game over.
Interestingly enough on the topic of the UCS Tumbler, I noticed that it's now being sold on Amazon for RRP; not some outrageous inflated price that these types of sets usually go for. I was a bit surprised as I hadn't seen that before for this set.
The more I think of Orthanc long term, the less I like the set. I have it still new and sealed, but can't find the desire to actually build it. Looking at the up close pics, it appears to be a very basic build experience that is compensated by the tall size of the finished piece.
While the Tumbler on the other hand, was a Day 1 build situation where I couldn't wait to break the seals. Yesterday I disassembled it after 8 months on display and had a great time breaking it down, now eagerly awaiting to rebuild it again one day. It's a very technical build where one can admire the amount of thought it took to get the design just right and the panels all correct.
If Orthanc and Tumbler both went EOL today, Tumbler would smash the pace of Orthanc hands down.
BrickDancer said:
I agree. However, you have *more time to acquire the tumbler. I have my target of ToO, I have yet to buy a tumbler. I will start acquiring tumblers early in 2016.
* This could also be interpreted as less.
^I agree on timing tho, Orthanc is on deck for EOL. Hard to see it making into 2016. Tumbler we still have time on for at least a year.
If Orthanc and Tumbler both went EOL today, Tumbler would smash the pace of Orthanc.
This entire statement is not helpful. Of course the Tumbler would outpace orthanc. It's a relatively new set. All things equal (time on the market) you may still be correct But that is part of the gamble. Just buy a few of both :)
Yeah, that UCS Batmobile has really taken off and just after the Tumbler came out. I still have some DAs left. Worth holding for a few years - as once that supply gets thin, it'll shoot up (or it makes for a great part-out set still).
^Timing won't matter to the new hobby reseller as much as the fixed return in dollars at the end. But for most other sellers dealing in multiples or volume then you're right, as ROI in time is a stronger driver. Or if you're investing using leverage.
I am weary of the sheer volume of Star Wars sets. I don't see much positive investing potential in the Rebels, Clone Wars or sub-theme sets.
The recently retired Sopwith Camel is another curious set for investment potential.
I don't see much potential in Sopwith Camel. I'm even surprised it lasted so long for it to retire. Sure it will slowly increase, but it's going to be hard to sell.
Agree about CW and Rebels, aside from some selected sets and figs there's not much there. Still I rate Rebels waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of CW, especially the figs which are no longer looking like freakshow material next to the other figures
In general, the tired rehashes of SW bore me. And the Rebels/Clones, etc. are at a level below those.
As a set, I really like the Sopwith Camel. If TLG ever re-releases the Red Baron, then I would expect the SC to go up overnight accordingly. Once can only hope.
Hmm the London tower bridge is an interesting situation. It seems to have good value already with 4k parts for 200 (even though that includes 500+1x1 sloped tiles) and it has been out for so long now. It should have potential but there are a few things I don't like.
I don't like the set itself,it does not look bad but the scaling is of with everything else and it would purely be a display model on its own without any accompanying models. But for a display model the seize is rather large,its not so easy to display in your living room as for example a tower of ortanc. Also the subject of the set limits its potential for me,it is a landmark but its not a landmark like the statue of liberty,the eifel tower,or the gizeh pyramid. I think it is something that will appeal mostly and almost only to people from England. Then its also been out for 5 years, everyone who wanted the set has had the time to buy it. Think its still a relativly safe investment due to the value it has for parts but I would not expect this set to do above average after retirement.
Sopwith camel I love, I would buy the set in the store right now if it was possible.Its still cheap from resellers,about 80-120 I have seen them for offer. Would be so much better if lego made a series of a classic airplane every year,now its a bit of a stand alone. Will probably buy one for 100 soon because it looks awesome.
Why would Tower Bridge only appeal to someone from England (or the wider UK), yet other landmarks appeal to a wider audience? Surely it would appeal to anyone that likes London.
I have no interest in or connection to New York, and thus the Statue of Liberty has little interest to me as a display model.
The fact that they have been able to sell them since 2010 says a lot about if it is popular or not. Everyone likes bridges. Bridges are cool. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Golden Gate Bridge once Tower Bridge finally expires.
SuperTramp City 17Member Posts: 1,021
lol, what's are bridge ever done to foreigners?
No one likes it.
Its true that its a bridge,the only big bridge there is atm from lego and that for me slightly increases its potential as there are no alternatives if you want to have a big lego bridge.
That it took 5 years+ to sell the initial run is not a good sign,but on the other hand that means that the set might be relatively rare. (unless they made like 10k+ in the first run,i have no idea about that to be honest)
Golden gate from lego would be awesome,would probably buy that if they made it look good. Tower bridge will appeal to foreigners but I think it will appeal less then sets like the eifel tower. Its not a bad set and I still might buy eventually. I know I will regret it if I don't before it retires. Don't think lego will make any other bridge soon,as this was not a big success.
Who says TLG are still selling their initial run?
How do you know it's not a big success?
Milne44 Member Posts: 112
It must be a success as it's still selling well 5yrs plus! If it was not it would of been retired years ago.
I agree! I hope they do re-release that set. The original Red Baron was a rickety mess, but I looks great on a shelf. Although my shelf would get a bit crowded...

The highly regarded Lab School faces uncertainty again.
The unintended release of a memo from the chancellor of the University of Hawai'i-Manoa to the Board of Regents indicates that UH is reassessing its relationship with the school and might extend its research agreement for just one more year.
The news came as a blow for a school that has achieved some measure of financial stability since 2001 after struggling for several years because of state fiscal woes.
Ending the relationship with UH "would pretty much spell the end of the Lab School," said Charles Khim, who chairs the school's board.
For its 51-year history the Lab School has been just that — a research laboratory for the UH College of Education for the development of innovative curriculum. The school has also been hailed for its academics, with its students achieving some of the highest scores in the state on standardized tests. The school has 361 students in grades K-12.
The school's attainment of charter school status two years ago was hailed as an advantage that would cement its ties with the state and strengthen its precarious financial situation. But now that status appears to be creating new issues centered on land and money.
The school contracts with UH for its operation.
Action on the lease agreement between UH and the Lab School — now known as The Education Laboratory — was deferred by the UH Board of Regents yesterday, giving the Manoa campus a month to work out a new agreement before the contract expires June 30.
"It was placed on the public agenda in error," said Manoa campus spokesman Jim Manke. "The regents asked the chancellor to prepare a discussion paper. The intent was to send it to the Regents for discussion prior to reaching some decisions."
Manke said Manoa Chancellor Peter Englert and those involved with the Lab School, including College of Education Dean Randy Hitz, will take up the issue. The Board of Regents is trying to work out what the proper relationship is with a charter school, Hitz said.
"The charter school doesn't really have employees," Hitz said. "The employees are all university employees, so that's an issue. And the other issue is space. Can the charter school continue to use the space without any charge?
"It's all about property," Hitz said. "Can the university afford to give up that much space without being compensated for it?"
For years, university officials have discussed moving the school off the Manoa campus, where land is at a premium.
Hitz said the proposal was "mostly just to keep the Lab School in place for another year and then work out the details of the relationship."
"This gives us an opportunity to meet with the chancellor and find out what his concerns are and gives us an opportunity to work something out," said Donald Young, director of the Curriculum Research and Development Group in the College of Education that operates the Lab School.
In the memo, Englert proposed that the agreement with the Lab School be extended just one more year and recommended the administration of the school be returned to the charter school board.
"The local school board can negotiate its own agreement with the University of Hawai'i if it desires to occupy the space it currently occupies," the memo said. "And it can enter into an agreement with UH-Manoa to continue to work with the College of Education for research and curriculum development."
However, Englert said he cannot recommend that the College of Education continue to run the Lab School "in the face of all the uncertain fiscal and legal commitments that it entails."
Englert's memo said the Lab School created a deficit of $421,898 for the university — a figure that Young disputes. Khim said it would be a "travesty" to lose the Lab School as it's configured and that UH makes money from the school.
"They're going to lose $10 million a year if they cancel this agreement," Khim said. "It's a little less than $9 million in research grants and about $1.4 million a year in direct payments to the College of Education from the Lab School (with money from the Department of Education and donations.)"
Hitz, too, said the school is an "essential component" of the College of Education.
"It's not just the funding, but also the services and products produced because of the Lab School facilities," said Hitz. "It's a contribution to the knowledge base we make, like any other laboratory — just doing different research. We've had external studies to see if there are ways to do the same kind of research in public schools, and the answer is no. It would be much more complicated and much more expensive."
