I had never heard of this movie before two days ago. I recorded it blind on a whim.
This has to be one of the craziest and funniest movies that I have ever seen, and believe me, in my 77 years I have seen a lot of funny movies.
Waiting... is about a typical day [24 long hours] in the lives of a group of young restaurant workers on shifts at Shenanigan's, a typical diner in Everytown, USA.
We witness the personal crises in the lives of these young people outside of work as well as the SHIT they have to put up with as service people taking care of an indifferent and selfish public. I believe that once in my life, 1958 in San Franciso, I worked as a busboy for a week but the details are now dim in my mind. It has taken me a long time to learn to treat service people, especially in restaurants, with dignity and respect, and even to outwardly epathize with them. Their jobs are nothing but financially and emotionally unrewarding and often, as one of the characters in the film, Dean, notes late in the movie, traps from which there is no easy escape.
In one scene, with which any real waiter/waitress will identify, Dean, who has been offered the position of assistant manager, waits on a table of foreigners who tip him very poorly. He angrily accosts the customers, returning the tip, telling them that they must need it more than he. Later in the film, Karma asserts itself when one of his ex-school buddies shows up with his wife or girl-friend and leaves him a $100 tip. When he confronts the friend, telling him that he has made a mistake by leaving him so large a tip, the friend responds with "I figured you need it more than I do."
Reviewer leilapostgrad from Austin, Texas, says: "All the characters in Waiting are based on the real people who work in every restaurant. There's the hot/slutty/underage hostess, the fat and ugly cook who somehow dates a really hot waitress, the stoner/punk bust boy, and the manager with the chip on his shoulder. All the customers in this film, the cheap red necks who don't know how to tip, the bitchy women, the drunk and horny men, are all customers I've waited on. And no filmmaker has ever so accurately portrayed the complex and irreconcilable tension between the wait staff and kitchen staff", and she is so right.
Amidst all the regular day-to-day restaurant mayhem is the mayhem that the employees create for themselves to relieve themselves of the work tedium. The anal and genital games that they play with each other are outrageous and really funny and those games start almost as the film begins and last until the bitter-funny end.
And then there is the ordinary sex stuff that you'd expect from a film about poeple in their 20s. The verbal battle between Monty and Serena where they out each other's sexual ineptitude, the sexual advances on the part of Dan the manager towards a barely age legal employee, the problem of the penis shy Mitch who finds it difficult to urinate in public in the presence of other men, and much more.
As you will notice from reading the soundtrack music listed below, the music has been carefully and cleverly selected by the movie makers. Pay special attention to the end credits where the wigger busboys T-Dog and Nick do a rap which is also playing behind this review. It's a great funny ending to a really funny movie.
In one sequence of the film, they actually say to one of the black characters, "Fuck you, Whitey!"
No matter what you get out of this film, one thing is sure. You'll never look at reataurant service people the same way you have in the past. AND you will be very circumspect about sending food back with complaints unless you do it in a very respectful way. Plus - you will laugh your ass off if your sense of humor is as sick as mine!
Kudos to:
Anna Faris whom we have seen in the Scary Movie series.
Justin Long from Drag Me to Hell, He's Just Not That Into You, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Live Free Or Die Hard, Jeepers Creepers, and Idiocracy.
Luis Guzmán, our favorite Puerto Rican actor who has been in far too many films for me to even begin to mention.
Max Kasch [T-Dog] and Andy Milonakis [Nick], our favorite wiggers! Max is remembered from his appearences in Red Eye and Holes. Andy is known for The Andy Milonakis Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Andy suffers from a growth-hormone condition that gives him the appearance and voice of an adolescent when, in fact, he is a grown man.
Andy says: "I've been into it [hip-hop] my whole life, but it's different from the white kids who dress the part, and their slang is obviously fake and all that. When these kids pose, it sounds so fake when every other word is like, 'Yo, yo yo!' and 'knowhutimsayin'?' I might say some s**t when I'm around my boys and stuff, but I hate the ones who give white kids who listen to [hip-hop] a bad name."
In an original incarnation of the script Calvin was the character who couldn't piss, and Brian was a character who couldn't get the girl. The parts were combined at the last minute.
Goofs:
When everyone is discussing their total earnings for the night, Naomi lights her cigarette twice.
After Dean receives the business card and crumples it up, he throws it to the ground. In the next shot it is still in his hand.
Before Naomi pulls up her skirt, you see a for a second that she really has underwear on.
When everyone is discussing their total earnings for the night Naomi lights her cigarette twice.
When Dean looks at Chet's bill, the time on the bill says 6:38. However, minutes earlier, the cooks showed the time was 11:57.
When Raddimus is in the bathroom stall having sex with his girlfriend, she covers his mouth with her hand. In the close up, his mouth is not covered.
During the first party sequence Monty walks in and greets Serena, who is in the black chair. The camera cuts and pans over and Serena is sitting on the end of the couch farthest away from the black chair.
During the first shot of the end party sequence, Monty walks out and offers Calvin a beer, walks over to the bar and begins talking to Serena, You can see the High School girls in the background. Cut to close-up of high school girls, enter Serena from the right, follow her left and there is Monty standing at the end of the line.
Towards the beginning of the movie Monty comes through the main entrance of the restaurant he is wearing Converse All Stars, a few minutes later he is wearing black dress shoes then later Converse again.
When Dean is bringing cocktails to the Jack's Steakhouse owner's table, he serves cocktails to the two people on Jack's right. The camera instantly cuts to Jack, who raises his hand with a full cocktail in it.
When Monty says, "It's cherry-poppin' time", Calvin stands up. Then in the next scene he is sitting down again and then stands back up.
When Dean gets to work with Serrena and his girlfriend, the camera is reflected in the window of his door when he opens it.
When Mitch is watching the training video, the side of the TV is visible and it is obvious that the VCR is not connected to the TV.
Dean: "Hey, Floyd, make sure there's no bacon on the chef salad. It's against their religion."
Floyd: "Yes Masta. Right away, Masta. Ain't gon' be no, no bacon on the salad Masta." [while getting whipped with a towel]
Floyd: "NO! AH! NO!"
Floyd: "[singing] Mm-hmm-hmm, no bacon on the salad!"

My daughter sent me the following comment:
I saw this film when it came out and laughed my ass off. The best part is at the end when the new guy gives them "the goat" and becomes "the man". I make sure that every time I got out to eat (which is often), I tip well and ask the waiter / waitress their name so that I can talk to them like a human being and not a servant. And if I didn't have a phobia already, the scene in which the lady customer was a total bitch and sent her food back taught me NEVER to complain about the food or else the kitchen staff will completely use it as a toilet before returning it to me. Love the movie and love that you are making more opinionated reviews, Abba.


I continue to see stories of really young entrepreneurs, with kids as young as 9 years old who have successful businesses. This makes me wonder what sets that entrepreneurial drive in kids, and how early parents and schools should start teaching the basics.
There are already a couple of good books out there for youth entrepreneurs, such as a new one from my friends Adam and Matthew Toren, "Kidpreneurs: Young Entrepreneurs with Big Ideas". They assert, "It's never too early! Even children can be introduced to basic business principles and the rewards of entrepreneurship". Another one is The Little Entrepreneur by Michael H. and Jay Arrington.
Learn to make money. Even young children (ages 5-10) can and need to understand the concept of income – expense = profit. They need to understand that having money is not an entitlement, and not related to the volume of their demands.
Start a summer business. The best way to learn is a "hands-on" approach like creating a simple business to sell lemonade or deliver newspapers. In this context, parents can explain how their own business works, and where the family income comes from.
Bring the family together. All parents need to do things with their kids. A family that grows together, builds character and achieves financial success. The entire family can be active in the business venture.
Understand how business works. A place to start may be a reality game like ThriveTime for Teens Board Game, where they will be faced with money and life decisions like buying cars, managing expenses, paying for college, using credit cards, buying stocks and starting businesses.
Able to invest money wisely. Several companies, like Charles Swaab, offer programs like Money Matters: Make it Count, which teaches the financial basics to teens through Boys & Girls Clubs across the country.
If your child is old enough to get on the Internet, he or she is old enough to start learning business skills. Sites like MySpace already allow teens to customize their home base with graphics, blogs, and music to make it more attractive to their peers – that's marketing. It's not a big jump to e-commerce and the costs and decisions of running a business.
We all know that technology comes naturally and early to this generation. Gen-Y is already showing us new ways to use it to grow and profit in business. I can't even imagine what the next generation will bring. You better start your business now and have fun while you can before we all branded as ancient relics.

HORROR YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED: BACKCOUNTRY (2014)

BACKCOUNTRY (2014)
Tense wilderness thriller finds young couple Alex (Jeff Roop) and Jenn (Missy Peregrym) going deep into the woods for a romantic camping trip. Alex arrogantly takes a trail a ranger (Nicholas Campbell) warns him is closed and does so without a map, confident he knows the way to a lake he'd visited years ago. His attempts to impress Jenn gets the two of them lost in the wilderness, but that is the least of their worries…as a massive black bear has staked out that area as it's hunting ground and Jenn and Alex are now it's prey.
Canadian thriller is written and tensely directed by Adam MacDonald (Pyewacket) and is an impressive debut. MacDonald gets the foreboding atmosphere started early using the red herring of a strange man (Eric Balfour) the couple meet in the woods who leaves both them and the audience, with an uncomfortable feeling. It also causes a bit of tension between the couple, so we are already on edge when he starts to hint to his audience that something far more dangerous is stalking the two. The tension builds as the two quarrel over being totally lost and MacDonald let's us stew in it till almost an hour in when our predator makes it's deadly and surprisingly gruesome appearance. Then it's a suspenseful last act as our lone survivor tries to escape with the massive creature hot on their trail. For a first time director, MacDonald manages it all quite well, building the tension slowly then giving us a pulse pounding fight for life finale. It's not perfect. Alex does some stupid and cliché things to move the plot forward, like arrogantly not bringing a map and secretly removing Jenn's cellphone from her bag and leaving it behind, but in the context of the story and character, they are not unbelievable actions. As MacDonald takes time to let us get to know the couple, we can believe that certain actions or reactions are fitting, even if we have seen them before in other movies. The only other slight disappointment is that the last act seems to be over a little too quickly when compared to the slow build-up that leads us to it. We are just getting really involved, when suddenly it's over. A little more of the chase and hunt would have made this a bit more satisfying, though, it still certainly entertains.
As for his small cast, the first-time director gets good work. Jeff Roop's Alex is a likable guy, but his need to constantly impress his girlfriend gets a bit annoying and is supposed to. He's a little bothered that she is a lawyer and his is a landscaper and his insecurity fuels his behavior at having to be the 'macho' one. Roop conveys this masculine insecurity well, especially when in the presence of Brad, whom he sees as a threat. Missy Peregrym shines as Jenn. She is a sweet but smart girl…though, maybe a little too trusting as in the case of Brad (Balfour). She isn't very wilderness savvy, but when faced with the looming danger, she becomes quite the survivor. We like her and we are drawn in when she becomes hunted prey in an unfamiliar environment. Eric Balfour is unsettling and a bit creepy as Brad. The character is designed to ignite tension in the audience and between the couple, and the actor gives life to a role that is basically a plot device…and one that works. The only other cast member is Nicholas Campbell who has a brief role as the park ranger who sets the couple on their way and warns Alex, unheeded, to stay off the Blackwood trail.
Overall, this is a good flick with some nice tension and some surprisingly gruesome moments. It is well written and well directed by Adam MacDonald, who makes an impressive debut feature. It's not perfect, in that there are some dumb decisions made by characters to set the plot in motion, though that is countered by the fact that they don't seem far-fetched coming from the characters in question. The climactic chase/pursuit between bear and survivor also felt a little short when compared to the slow burn build-up, but does provide some good chills and suspense. Definitely a recommended flick for those who like wilderness-set thrillers and nature run amok movies.
3 hungry bears (I know the one in the movie is a black bear. Just being lazy).

Do you have your list of books to be read in 2012? I have some from last year waiting for me to read. It's good to have books around. It's a bad thing (for me) when I finish a book and don't have another one ready to read. I feel lost without a book in progress.
I wonder which books I will read more of—paper books or eBooks. Getting eBooks is easier than going to the bookstore. And our local library is now loaning eBooks and getting new titles all along. Borrowing time is two weeks like paper books and on that due date the library will cause the book to vanish from your Kindle, Nook, or whatever your e-reader may be.
The statistics about eBooks growth is astounding. I read that in December 2011 one million Kindles were sold each week. And those folks who received a gift are busy buying eBooks for their new machine. I'm not an economist but I know what supply and demand means. There must be a good supply of eBooks to meet the demand of buyers. There probably will be for more and more authors are turning to self publishing both eBooks and paper readers.
Traditional and large publishers take so long to contract books and then sometimes an equal length of time to produce the finished book. Without an agent and a well-known name many new authors are passed by. It's these authors who will be putting their work out as eBooks as well as paper books.
You're lucky if you've received an e-reader because—and this is just a guess of mine—you will have a vast number of eBooks to choose from to put on that e-reader. I think it's an exciting time for both readers and writers. Writers can cut through a publishers loooong wait time and publish their own books as eBooks and paper books. I predict that some of these books won't be well edited and you may find mistakes in them but most of these books will have had a good edit and we'll enjoy reading them.
Do you make note of the books you read? It's interesting to do that and be able to look back and see what you've read and how many books you've read. Here's wishing you good and happy reading for 2012!

All right, so i've been struggling to get my copy of SA2B to read that it's connected to TCG for a while now, with little to no avail. But i had an idea and used the GBA bios file and transferred the chao over to the tiny chao garden. It worked as far as i got the silver, amethyst, emerald and saphhire chao i wanted, but then spent the next 3 days reseting the shop for aquamarine, garnet, onyx and topaz eggs, but with no luck. But of course, as soon as i open an actual rom of sonic pinball party/sonic advance 1, within 5 minutes of resetting the shop, i get the onyx and aquamarine to show up, and another 5 minutes, the topaz shows up.
Any version of dolphin i use along with any version of VBA-M doesn't work. No matter what i try, it refuses to connect to the actual rom properly. The game picks up there is SOME GBA connected, but that's as far as it gets. so this is where i have 2 questions.
1) Is it possible that the GBA bios file version of TCG only has up to emerald chao eggs and won't go higher than that?
2) Is there ANY combo that can get the ACTUAL rom with TCG to properly connect to SA2B so i can actually get the rarest jewel chao eggs?

Eye For Film >> Features >> As she sees it
As she sees it
Ashley Connor on Madeline's Madeline and her career as a cinematographer
by Jennie Kermode
Madeline's Madeline, written and directed by Josephine Decker, is the story of a young woman with mental health problems who finds herself pushed to the edge after becoming involved with a theatre group. The powerful way that it uses imagery to get inside its heroine's mind earned cinematographer Ashley Connor an Independent Spirit nomination. She discussed the film with me alongside other recent projects she's been involved with, her approach to atmosphere and storytelling, and her efforts to help get more women active behind the camera.
"It was really about building up the interior world of Madeline and finding images that speak more to her emotional state than her physical one," she says of her work on Decker's film. "I created that sort of melted image and I've been developing that since college but I had never been able to work with it in a narrative film. It makes sense narratively for the story, not just like a visual trick."
The world rushes by in Madeline's Madeline
It helped, she adds, that she and Decker understood each other's working methods well.
"We've been collaborating for a long time... but a lot of the movie was improvised. it's really about making the audience feel something and challenging them to feel differently about how images can affect you."
Does it change the way she works when there are other people improvising on set?
"Yeah. At least from a lighting perspective, we have to make our lighting work to give the actors as much freedom as possible for movement. So either we would have one unit on the floor in the space and that was kind of the no-go zone, or we would set up outside and it was really just about being open to whatever the actors were wanting to do."
She's done a lot of work in short films and music videos. Does she feel she has more room to experiment in that situation.
"For music video work, definitely. it's much lower stakes and it really is about creating the most out there experience that you can, so I love to do videos. I've always loved them... With films, though, what I appreciate about Josephine so much is that she really commits to going as crazy as we possibly can, and a lot of directors won't go there because it's scary. It's scary to not see an actor constantly, it's scary to do in-camera effects, but you know, there's a lot of trust involved in that process.
A lot of cinemagoers judge cinematography first and foremost by its prettiness. Does she feel that there's tension between the desire to appeal to them in that way and the desire to focus on creating atmosphere?
Under the spotlight in Madeline's Madeline
"I don't like a lot of contemporary cinematography because I think it relies heavily on just creating a good looking image, and the reality is it's very easy to create a beautiful image," she says. "It's much more difficult to make people feel differently."
What's the process through which she approaches that?
"Usually when I meet with new collaborators I immediately ask them 'How do you visualise yourself?' and 'What does that mean to you?' And then what we do next is look at the emotional context of the characters and what we're trying to say... if I did the same thing over and over again I would be bored. Some movies and very different from others but usually it's mainly about what the director wants."
Have recent advancements in technology changed the way she works?
"Not really. I mean, I'm not somebody who's into the newest tech." She laughs. "Call me old fashioned. I'm not somebody who wants to talk with a bunch of camera dudes about some new piece of gear that everybody wants to use. But yes, I think that there have been some major developments, especially around LEDs, which have just made things so much easier for lower budget productions to get more bang for their buck. I think that there is a line that a lot of cinematographers cross now because LEDs give you such quick access to the rainbow of colours. People tend to just throw in more colours at all moments and for me I think I really have to answer questions as to why I'm doing something, not so that it looks good but why is it important to the film?"
We go on to talk about another of her recent films, The Miseducation Of Cameron Post.
"Cameron Post is a very different movie but I think it's interesting that they kind of play off of each other because they're two movies about teenage girls experiencing the world and how they approach that. And of course Cameron Post is very subjective film... They're very different films but it's really about getting to the heart of who Cameron is and what makes her who she is."
The Miseducation Of Cameron Post
She also worked on The Death Of Dick Long, which screened at Sundance.
"The Death of Dick Long is very different!" She laughs. "I don't want to call it a boy movie because it's not but it's far more masculine than a lot of the work... We're down south in Alabama... It was fun for me to kind of visually inhabit a different world with Daniel [Scheinert], the director, who has done some of the most popular music videos of all time. He's very much committed to" – she hesitates – "We call it like a fun image. It was great fun to work on... People are either going to love it or hate it but it's not a middle of the road movie."
Only 3% of the top 100 grossing films last year had female cinematographers. Ashley has been part of a project called The Female Gaze, aimed at increasing their visibility. There was a point, she says, when people in the industry thought that it wasn't cool to be a woman. She's still hesitant to be "put on an island" as a female cinematographer, but says "The reality is, I still get emails constantly from young women who just don't know any female cinematographers, or they don't see them working, and so representation really matters."
She's been taking on young female camera interns to help turn things around.
"They would come to the set and ask questions but it's really about giving them the chance to se how it works and saying 'Ask me anything and I will help you as much as I can.' I think young women need strong female role models to envision themselves in different positions. For me, when I finally found female DPs it was a revelation and I could finally see myself on the set. So I think it's deeply important to still celebrate that and whilst I don't want to be on an island I think that if there's going to be more equality it is important to talk about the numbers and talk about how rare it is."
Madeline's Madeline is in UK cinemas now.


Although it was a Taoist Temple it had a lot of Buddhism character. Go around to visit and explore this different one.
For hundreds of years, the Taoist Temple was located on the side of West Lake. It was easy to realize from the gate with the four tall pillars which the travelers can meet in another Temple in Hanoi. On the pillar wall, you can see a beautiful dragon and tiger pattern. It's so fantastic.
Look into the three-passage gate, that is one of the formal tradition architecture in Vietnam, there is a lot of Buddhism symbol such as Ly dragon in the roof, an 8 parts circle... Go inside, we meet two elephant statues in the left and right, a stele, and many ancient trees.
In the main area, the Temple has different rooms for the worshiping purposes. They have an impress of red color, this color didn't change through hundreds of years.
The most special in this temple is the Huyen Thien Tran Vu statue. This statue was made from a very good kind of copper in 1677. It had a snake on the sword in the back of a turtle, a symbol of the Taoist.
When you visit this temple, you can see that a lot of local people come and touch with the feet of the statue, they think that it would bring healthy for them.
Have you realized another characters of Buddhism in this area?
The famous Taoist Temple is in the crossroad of Quan Thanh and Thanh Nien street, near the West Lake and Truc Bach lake. It 15 minutes far from Hanoi Old Quarter via taxi or 10 minutes from Ba Dinh square by walk. Most of the tourists come here on a tour with Tran Quoc pagoda, that more than 5 minutes toward the north.
It opens daily from 7:30 AM to 17:00 PM. In the 1st and 15th day of the Lunar calendar, it opens from 7:00 AM to 19:00 PM for the worshiping demand of the local people.
Hope this basic information about Taoist Temple will be helpful for your time in Hanoi tours. If you want to feedback or have more questions, contact hanoitours@impresstravel.com.
In 1677, the Ngu Xa village's artisans created a big statue in black bronze to worshipping the Tran Vu God. It becomes one of the Vietnam national treasures.
The Taoist Temple is the main temple of Taoism in Hanoi. It has an ancient name is Tran Vu Temple which is located at the corner of Quan Thanh and Thanh Nien street. Nowadays, Tran Vu Temple is one of the most visited destinations in Hanoi.
In Tran Vu Temple, there are a lot of handmade bronze products. All of them were made of copper-smiths from Ngu Xa village.
Visit Taoist Temple to explore about the brilliant wooden art of ancient Hanoians. This is a small world of wooden products which was made for hundreds of years.


The commission will supply an extensive agenda through the job of interdisciplinary working groups focusing on the whole food system from production to consumption with the aim of identifying the essential breakthroughs required in both domestic and worldwide production and non-production issues to realize future food security around throughout the planet. It will be tasked with making recommendations on actions that can be taken in the next decade that will enhance cyber security protections. The bipartisan commission was produced by executive order to come up with policy alternatives for handling the impending financial crisis of the recent Social Security system. Another reason underlying unemployment compensation is the fact that it has a counter-cyclical financial effect. Workers Compensation is intended to help workers that are injured manage their health issues whereas Unemployment Insurance is intended to assist healthful workers reconnect to do the job.
Employees that are fired for serious misconduct aren't eligible. Many employees write resignation letters because they've found a different job that either delivers the sort of environment they're interested in or pays a greater salary. Initially the typical associate chiropractic employee may be below the assumption this will cost him more because they'll be responsible at the close of the year for withholding all their own taxes. Consequently a firm might not even bother with you if you're causing them unwanted hassle since they have plenty more to pick from. In this method, they try to identify the deficiencies in each of the processes that are a part of the functioning of the organization. In order to comply with the same, they have come up with financial performance measurement techniques. Just because an organization offers syndicated investment doesn't mean you need to not vet them thoroughly beforehand.
Congress held hearings to recognize the problems and hunt for solutions. The very first method is to hold meetings. The Board is charged with the duty of making recommendations about the growth of this extensive system. The Commission's recommendations should address actions which can be taken during the next decade to do these goals.
To prevent insolvency and restore long-term balance, the plans third component comprises the transfer of extremely massive sums from the remainder of the budget to compensate for the losses that Social Security would bear on account of the personal accounts.

The procedure for ensuring state security is directed at pre-empting crisis.

Broadly speaking, an investment adviser is someone who engages in the company of advising others connected to securities and does so for damages. Senior Chinese leaders don't always receive accurate or timely info, and faithful implementation doesn't necessarily occur. Perhaps what's more, it outlines the use of Chinas National Security Commission. The Workforce Investment Act also mandates the growth of a thorough workforce system which includes a number of other workforce-related programs. There's also a larger feeling of security for benefactors involved. During CNSC meetings, the idea of overall security was stressed, with all Chinese diplomacy meant to serve this objective.

Harrison Odjegba Okene survives three days at bottom of Atlantic, rescued after finding air pocket in tugboat
Posted on 4th December 2013 4th December 2013 by sonistics
AP Photo/DCN DivingIn this image made available Tuesday Dec. 3, 2013, Harrison Odjegba Okene looks in awe as a rescue diver surfaces into the air pocket which has kept Okene alive for nearly three days, recorded by the diver's headcam video the full impact of the miraculous encounter becomes plain the see.
LAGOS, Nigeria — Entombed at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in an upended tugboat for three days, Harrison Odjegba Okene begged God for a miracle.
The Nigerian cook survived by breathing an ever-dwindling supply of oxygen in an air pocket. A video of Okene's rescue in May that was posted on the Internet more than six months later has gone viral this week.
As the temperature dropped to freezing, Okene, dressed only in boxer shorts, recited the last psalm his wife had sent by text message, sometimes called the Prayer for Deliverance: "Oh God, by your name, save me. … The Lord sustains my life."
To this day, Okene believes his rescue after 72 hours underwater at a depth of 30 metres (about 100 feet) is a sign of divine deliverance. The other 11 seaman aboard the Jascon 4 died.
Divers sent to the scene were looking only for bodies, according to Tony Walker, project manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving, who were called to the scene because they were working on a neighbouring oil field 120 kilometres (75 miles) away.
The divers had already pulled up four bodies.
So when a hand appeared on the TV screen Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat, showing what the diver in the Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was another corpse.
"The diver acknowledged that he had seen the hand and then, when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!" Walker said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
"It was frightening for everybody," he said. "For the guy that was trapped because he didn't know what was happening. It was a shock for the diver while he was down there looking for bodies, and we (in the control room) shot back when the hand grabbed him on the screen."
On the video, there's an exclamation of fear and shock from Okene's rescuer, and then joy as the realization sets in. Okene recalls hearing: "There's a survivor! He's alive." http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/12/03/harrison-odjegba-okene-survives-three-days-at-bottom-of-atlantic-rescued-after-finding-air-pocket-in-tugboat/?google_editors_picks=true
Walker said Okene couldn't have lasted much longer.
"He was incredibly lucky he was in an air pocket but he would have had a limited time (before) … he wouldn't be able to breath anymore."
AP Photo/DCN DivingIn this image made available Tuesday Dec. 3, 2013, The hand of Harrison Odjegba Okene stretches through the murky waters to reach a rescue diver as the diver's headcam video records the moment he becomes aware that Okene is still alive after nearly three days underwater. Okene was working as a cook aboard a tugboat in the Atlantic Ocean off the Nigerian coast in June 2013, when a heavy swell caused the vessel to capsize and his boat sank to the sea bed, where his 11 colleagues drowned, but Harrison Okene was able to find an air pocket inside the sunken ship where he survived for nearly three days before being found by a group of South African rescue divers.
The full video of the rescue captured by divers was released by DCN Diving after a request from The Associated Press.
Initially, a shorter version of the rescue emerged on the Internet. The authenticity of the video was confirmed through conversations with DCN employees in the Netherlands. The video showing Okene was also consistent with additional photos of him on the rescue ship. The AP also contacted Okene on Tuesday who confirmed the events.
Okene's ordeal began around 4:30 a.m. on May 26. Always an early riser, he was in the toilet when the tug, one of three towing an oil tanker in Nigeria's oil-rich Delta waters, gave a sudden lurch and then keeled over.
"I was dazed and everywhere was dark as I was thrown from one end of the small cubicle to another," Okene said in an exclusive interview after his rescue with Nigeria's Nation newspaper.
He groped his way out of the toilet and tried to find a vent, propping doors open as he moved on. He discovered some tools and a life vest with two flashlights, which he stuffed into his shorts.
When he found a cabin of the sunken vessel that felt safe, he began the long wait, getting colder and colder as he played back a mental tape of his life — remembering his mother, friends, mostly the woman he'd married five years before with whom he hadn't yet fathered a child.
He worried about his colleagues — 10 Nigerians and the Ukrainian captain including four young cadets from Nigeria's Maritime Academy. They would have locked themselves into their cabins, standard procedure in an area stalked by pirates.
He got really worried when he heard the sound of fish, shark or barracudas he supposed, eating and fighting over something big.

Okene was working as a cook aboard a tugboat in the Atlantic Ocean off the Nigerian coast in June 2013, when a heavy swell caused the vessel to capsize and his boat sank to the sea bed, where his 11 colleagues drowned, but Okene was able to find an air pocket inside the sunken ship where he survived for nearly three days before being found by a group of South African rescue divers.
As the waters rose, he made a rack on top of a platform and piled two mattresses on top.
According to his interview with the Nation: "I started calling on the name of God. … I started reminiscing on the verses I read before I slept. I read the Bible from Psalm 54 to 92. My wife had sent me the verses to read that night when she called me before I went to bed."
He survived off just one bottle of Coke, all he had to sustain him during the trauma.
Okene really thought he was going to die, he told the Nation, when he heard the sound of a boat engine and anchor dropping, but failed to get the attention of rescuers. He figured, given the size of the boat, that it would take a miracle for a diver to locate him. So he waded across the cabin, stripped the wall down to its steel body, then knocked on it with a hammer.
But "I heard them moving away. They were far away from where I was."
By the time he was saved, relatives already had been told the sailors were dead.
Okene kept faith with the psalm he recited, that promises to "give thanks in your name, Lord," at a service at his Redeemed Christian Church of God.
He was rescued by a diver who first used hot water to warm him up, then attached him to an oxygen mask. Once free of the sunken boat, he was put into a decompression chamber and then safely returned to the surface.

The Marcelli Family Series
Marcell, Book No. 2
A risky experiment leads psychology student Francesca Marcelli straight into the arms of a playboy CEO.
Francesca Marcelli married at eighteen--right on schedule, according to her warm, colorful family, who have always said a beauty like Francesca need never worry about finding love. But a few years later, finding herself on her own with a wide open future ahead of her, she pursues her educational passions--with a risky experiment that takes her straight into the arms of playboy CEO Sam Reese. Delighted by Francesca's interest in a no-strings relationship, Sam suddenly finds himself needing her outside the bedroom when a secret from his past lands on his doorstep. But Francesca soon has a secret of her own to tell--a bombshell that will force the diehard bachelor to show his true colors. Are there I do's in Sam and Francesca's future? Only if she can persuade him that home truly is where the heart finds happiness.
4.5 stars! "Life is not going smoothly for the complex Marcelli family in Book 2 of this heartwarming trilogy, which hits the emotional bull's-eye. Sam and Francesca have a lot to deal with in a very short time, and Mallery gives a poignant resonance to their romantic and familial issues."
Francesca Marcelli had only been pregnant for twenty minutes and already her back hurt.
"Talk about realistic," she muttered adjusting the straps that held her fake eight months pregnant belly in place. The size was daunting enough-she couldn't see her feet or find a comfortable sitting position-but the weight was the real killer. Someone with a twisted sense of humor had decided to simulate what felt like the pressure of a baby elephant. The small of her back screamed out in protest, while unexpected pressure on her bladder made her want to duck into the nearest ladies room.
"All for a good cause," she reminded herself.
Francesca shifted to ease the throbbing in her back and leaned against the heavy cart she'd maneuvered into the service elevator of the six story bank building. When the doors opened, she shoved her over-loaded cart into the main hallway. Stacks of boxes wobbled precariously and threatened to tumble onto the carpeted floor.
It was just after five on a Friday afternoon. All around her dozens of business people headed for the main elevators to start their weekend. Francesca pushed up her glasses and paused to smooth down the front of the ugliest maternity dress she'd been able to find. The oversized collar dwarfed her shoulders and made her head look too small. The pinks and roses of the busy floral print sucked all the color from her pale olive skin. She'd brushed powder into her hair to lighten it to a mousy brown. The little make-up she'd put on had been applied to make her look tired, drawn and unattractive.
She glanced at her watch, then squared her shoulders as she prepared to begin work.
"Show time," she said softly, not that anyone was listening.
Three men from the insurance office at the end of the hall walked past her without even giving her a nod. Francesca continued to push her pile of packages slowly against the flow of foot traffic. Two women in suits gave her a quick, sympathetic smile. A man and a woman, both carrying expensive looking briefcases, followed. The woman looked, the man didn't.
Another corridor branched to the left. Francesca shifted her cart to make the turn. Several boxes went tumbling. A single man walked by without breaking his stride. A college age girl stopped long enough to help Francesca pick up the boxes, then hurried toward the elevator with a call to, "Wait for me!"
Five minutes later, Francesca reached her destination-an office she'd scouted out the previous week, chosen because the company had recently shut down. There she was, pregnant, lost, over-loaded with more than a dozen boxes to be delivered and no one to accept them. Had she been any sort of an actress, she might have been able to force out a tear or two.
The rules stipulated she was not allowed to directly ask for help. It had to be offered. She would wait for the required thirty minutes, mentally tallying who ignored her, who smiled and who, if anyone, stopped to actually offer assistance.
This was a high powered crowd with expensive tastes and busy lives. She didn't hold out much hope for rescue. In her experience-
"You look lost."
Francesca whirled around to see who a tall man standing beside her cart. A tall, good-looking man in a dark blue power suit.
"Hi," she said before preparing to launch into her canned speech about needing to deliver packages to a non-existent firm. Except she couldn't remember anything she was supposed to say.
The man waited patiently. He had dark blond hair and sort of tawny colored eyes. There was an intensity to his expression that reminded her of predators watching prey. A shiver rippled through her as she thought of gazelles being brought down for the kill. Unfortunately in her current condition she was more water buffalo than gazelle.
He looked confident, important and powerful. Not the sort of person who should be stopping to help an unattractive pregnant woman in trouble. Men like him sent assistants to take care of life's unpleasant details.
"Do you speak English?" he asked, enunciating each word clearly.
"What? Oh. Of course." She sucked in a breath, not sure what could be wrong with her. She would blame her sudden mental hiccup on food poisoning, only she hadn't eaten anything that day. "I'm ah-" Francesca cleared her throat. Brain function returned and she launched into her spiel.
"Hi. I'm Francesca. I'm supposed to be delivering these packages here-" She motioned to the closed and locked office door. "But there seems to be a problem."
The man glanced first at the boxes, all carefully addressed to the defunct company, then to the door where a hand-lettered sign said that Malcolm and White Data Tech was no more.
"Bringing these here was the last thing my boss told me to do before he left town," she went on. "If I don't get them delivered, he's going to kill me."
In an effort to look terrified, Francesca thought about how little she had in her checking account and how that pesky electric bill was going to come due soon. Eventually she would reap the rewards of her post graduate education but until she could actually slap the letters "Ph.D." after her name, she seemed destined to a life of poverty.
"You'll have to risk his fury," the man said calmly. "These boxes aren't going anywhere today. That company closed the door about ten days ago. From what I've heard, the main players skipped town with the last few dollars left, leaving several employees with lots of angry customers and no paychecks. What's your name again? "
"Francesca Marcelli."
He smiled at her. A genuine, happy-to-meet-you smile that made the corners of his eyes crinkle and caused her palms to suddenly start to sweat. This was the most fun she'd had in days.
Her rescuer introduced himself as Sam Reese.
"Let's get you out of this hallway and we'll figure out what we're going to do next."
We? They were a we?
Sam took charge of the cart, wheeling it down the hallway with an ease that made her envious. Of course he didn't have to worry about a pregnant belly getting in the way of his actions. She trailed after him, wondering what the next step would be. How far was Sam willing to take things? In situations like this-a non-emergency-people generally stopped at the point of inconvenience.
"Just through there," he said, pointing to a set of double glass doors.
Before Francesca could read the name of the company, one of the doors opened and a huge man stepped into the hallway. She involuntarily came to a stop to stare.
The man had to be at least six foot seven. He was built like a mountain with a massive neck and shoulders broad enough to support a couple of trailer homes. Dark skinned, with penetrating eyes and a firm, unsmiling mouth he looked both dangerous and more than a little scary.
"Sam," the man said, glancing between her rescuer and herself. "Is there a problem?"
"I think there might be." Sam looked back at her. "Ms. Marcelli was trying to make a delivery to Malcolm and White."
"They split last week."
"As I explained to Ms. Marcelli." He motioned to the cart. "Take this inside, Jason. Store it in one of the conference rooms." He turned his attention back to her. "If your employer's expecting payment for a delivery, that isn't going to happen. At least not right now. Come on inside and we'll get this situation straightened out."
Francesca found herself being ushered into a plush office with a gray and burgundy waiting area. An attractive woman in her early forties manned the front desk. She spoke over a headset as they walked by, pausing only to nod at Sam.
"I can search out Malcolm and White," Sam said as they moved down a long corridor decorated with elegant prints and the occasional slim table pushed up against a wall. "I've been looking for an excuse to track them down."
He sounded fierce as he spoke, as if he had a personal beef with the missing businessmen. Francesca trailed after him, torn between wondering why Sam Reese would care if a company in his building closed and trying to figure out what she'd gotten herself into. They passed several large conference rooms, what looked like classrooms and a few offices containing large desks, computers and file cabinets. All generic stuff that didn't hint at the kind of business done here.
At the end of the hall, they made a left, then a quick right before stopping in front of an open foyer containing a large desk and computer set-up manned by a well dressed young man wearing a sports coat.
"Jack, this is Ms. Marcelli."
The young man, probably around twenty-five and built like a football player, rose to his feet. "Nice to meet you, ma'am."
Francesca walked to the desk to shake hands. As she did so, her purse slipped down her arm and plopped onto the ground before she could catch it.
"Oops," she said, bending down to pick it up.
As she straightened, all the blood rushed from her head, causing the room to spin and her body to sway. For a split second, she thought she was going down.
Less than a heartbeat later, a strong arm encircled her, holding her in place. "Ms. Marcelli? Are you all right? Is it the baby?"
Baby? What...oh, the baby.
Francesca shook her head slightly. Her sense of equilibrium returned enough to her to realize she was standing amazingly close to Sam. Close enough to see the surprisingly dark lashes framing his eyes. Speaking of which-she stared more intently-seen from such a close range, his eyes were the most unusual color. Light brown, shot with gold. Otherworldly eyes. Cat eyes.
Cat eyes on a powerful man. She felt both the heat of him and the strength. Somehow she'd always assumed that executives in expensive suits were sort of wimpy under all that designer wool. She had been seriously wrong.
"Ms. Marcelli?"
Tension filled his voice. She shook her head again and tried to shrug free of his hold. When he didn't release her, she gave him a quick smile.
"I'm fine."
"You nearly fainted."
"I know. I haven't eaten today. I do that sometimes. Work distracts me. Then I get low blood sugar."
"That can't be good for the child."
As there was no child, his concern made her feel a little guilty.
"I'm fine," she repeated. "Really."
He slowly removed his arm from around her waist. "Jack, bring Ms. Marcelli some herb tea. There's a selection in the coffee room. Nothing with caffeine. Also, check to see if there are any sandwiches left from the lunch meeting."
Francesca thought about protesting again, but before she could figure out what to say without blowing her cover, she found herself being ushered into an office the size of Utah.
Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of Santa Barbara and mountains from one wall and Santa Barbara and a hint of ocean from the other. Tasteful paintings decorated the remaining walls. Two large leather sofas formed a conversational area in a corner. Between them and the desk was enough room to hold a kickboxing class.
Sam settled her on the sofa, then sat next to her. Before she knew what was going on, he had her hand resting in his and his fingers on the inside of her wrist.
"Your pulse is rapid. Would you like me to call your doctor?"
She generally went to student health services whenever she needed a check-up. Somehow she didn't think her friendly chit chat with the nurse practitioner qualified as having a doctor of her own.
Although she would have to admit that having her hand cradled by a handsome man held a certain thrill. He was warm, solid and plenty sexy. Had she looked slightly more appealing than something gacked up by a stray cat, she might have tried smiling, flirting and witty conversation. Not that she could think of anything witty right at the moment.
"No doctor calling," she insisted, reluctantly drawing her hand free of his. "There's nothing wrong with me. Although I have been taking up too much of your time."
She started to rise. Sam kept her in her seat with nothing more than a steady gaze.
"Have some tea," he said. "You'll feel better."
Both were an order.
Before she could protest, Jack appeared carrying a tray. There was a steaming mug of tea, along with a wrapped deli sandwich.
"We only have turkey left," the young man said apologetically as he set the tray on the glass coffee table.
The small amount of guilt she'd felt before doubled in size. "Look. You're being really nice- both of you. But there's no need to fuss."
The men ignored her. "Get on the computer," Sam told his assistant. "See if you can track down either Malcolm or White. You'll find a file in the usual place." He turned his considerable attention back to her. "You said your boss had left for the day. How do you get in touch with him? I want to let him know that the boxes can't be delivered. I'll also make arrangements for them to be returned to him." His fierce expression softened slightly. "He should never have left you to take care of them yourself."
"I didn't mind," she said weakly, feeling the floor beneath her crumbling into quicksand. In a matter of seconds she was going to sink so deep, no one would ever find her. "And you can't get in touch with him. He's, um, heading for the airport. To, ah, get on a plane."
She mentally winced. Lying had never come easily to her. Heading to the airport to get on a plane? Why else did people go to the airport?
Francesca sighed. Somehow this experiment had gotten out of hand. According to her research, Sam shouldn't have stopped to help her and he should never have taken things this far. The man was messing with her data.
"What airline? What flight?" He pulled a small leather covered notebook from his jacket pocket.
Francesca didn't know what to say. "You won't be able to track him down."
"Try me."
Uh oh. She was in way over her head. She gave Jack a frantic "rescue me" look which he either didn't get or chose to ignore. Jason, the big and strong, poked his head in the office to inform them that he'd put the boxes in conference room two. Jack disappeared with Jason, closing the door behind them. Leaving her very much alone with a man obviously capable of ruling the universe.
"So, Ms. Marcelli, your boss's flight? His name would help, as well."
"Please call me Francesca," she said and reached for the tea. Her stomach growled, but she refused to touch the sandwich. Not while she was here under false pretenses. "Can you really get in contact with someone on a plane?"
"If I have to. It would be easier to reach him before he left. Is he driving down to Los Angeles, or taking a corporate flight out of Santa Barbara."
Francesca thought of all the times she'd created situations to find out if strangers would take the trouble to stop and help her. She'd had nice old ladies offer her rides, friendly couples give her directions, even the odd school kid help her find a lost dog. But never had anyone taken things as far as Sam Reese.
She drew in a deep breath. "You've been great," she said. "Really terrific. I don't know how to thank you."
His tawny gaze settled on her face. She regretted her dull colored hair and over-sized glasses, not to mention the deliberately unflattering make-up. Successful, gorgeous men like him didn't much inhabit her grad school world. Why couldn't she have put on her sexy biker girl disguise today instead of ugly-pregnant-woman?
Sam waited patiently. As if he had all the time in the world. As if he was used to people being reluctant to give up information.
"If you don't want me to track down your boss, that's your decision," he said. "At least eat something. For the baby, if not for yourself."
She really wished he would stop mentioning the pregnancy. Okay, so in all the years she'd been doing this sort of thing, she'd never once been put in a position of coming clean, but hey, this wasn't her fault. She was being overwhelmed by guilt. Well, guilt and a more-than-mild attraction to a handsome guy.
"I'm not pregnant," she said.
His gaze never left her face. One point for his side. She pulled off her glasses and tossed them on the table. It was a small gesture of vanity, but under the circumstance-wearing the world's ugliest dress, sensible shoes and an unflattering hair style, it was the best she could do.
"I'm a grad student studying social psychology. I observe how people react under different circumstances. In my work I'm trying to see if social standing, appearance or gender influence behavior."
Sam tucked his notepad back into his jacket pocket. One eyebrow rose slightly. "Will busy people eager to get home on a Friday afternoon stop and help a pregnant woman?"
"Exactly."
His eyes narrowed as he studied her face. She wanted to say something stupid, like she cleaned up real well, but held back.
"What's in the boxes?"
She cleared her throat. "Mixed paper recycling."
"You deliberately chose to address them to a company that had recently closed?"
This time his gaze dropped to her protruding stomach. "And that?"
"A medical condition."
His eyes widened.
She laughed softly. "Just kidding. It's a device to simulate pregnancy. I borrowed it from a maternity store. Women use it to see how clothes will look as the baby gets bigger."
He picked up the glasses and glanced through the lenses. "Clear."
He smiled. A slow, sexy smile that made her long to trade in her black sensible shoes for a pair of red strappy sandals.
"I'm not an easy man to fool, Francesca," he told her. "In fact I can't think of the last time someone did. You're impressive. The fainting was a nice touch."
She shrugged. "Actually that part was real. I haven't eaten all day and that messes with my blood sugar."
He motioned to her protruding belly. "You spend your day like this in the name of scientific research?"
"I don't always dress up with a pregnancy belly. Sometimes I go out in a wheelchair, or tattoos and black leather."
He leaned back against the sofa. "That would stop traffic."
She smiled. "That depends on where I am." She reached for the tea. "There have been dozens of studies done about the affect of appearance on behavior. Do you know that more people will stop to help an attractive person than an unattractive one?"
"Men are visual creatures."
"But it's not just men. Women do it, too. I'm studying-" She stopped and put down her tea. "Sorry. I get on a roll. My studies fascinate me."
"I can see why. Who are you going to be tomorrow? If your costume involves black leather, feel free to stop by."
She laughed. "Actually I'm supposed to be done with the research phase. My project for the summer is to write my dissertation. But the thought of spending all that time at the computer makes my skin crawl so I've been putting it off."
"What do you want me to do with the boxes? "
"Oh. I can take them with me. I need to return the cart, too. I borrowed it from the building maintenance guy."
"So he gets full points for helping out the pregnant lady?"
"Absolutely."
"What about me?"
Sam had a great voice, Francesca thought as a shiver rippled through her. Deep, rich, seductive.
"You get bonus points," she told him.
"Good to know." He angled toward her. "How about I let you keep the points and in return you join me for dinner tonight?"
Under normal circumstances, Francesca never would have accepted the invitation. She didn't know Sam Reese from a rock. Yes, he was plenty appealing, but in the scheme of things, did that really matter?
"Dumb question," she murmured as she maneuvered her truck through the early evening Santa Barbara traffic. It was early June, with the tourist season in full swing. Sidewalks were crowded, restaurants full and traffic moved at a crawl down State Street.
"Appeal matters."
So did those cat eyes, the tempting smile and easy conversation. But the real reason she'd said yes was she needed to have sex. After all, a promise was a promise.
Francesca grinned as she thought of Sam's reaction if she'd told him that particular truth. Would he have bolted for safety or started unbuttoning his shirt? She liked to think it would be the latter, but she'd taken a good look at herself when she'd gone home to change and her out-loud shriek hadn't been from pleasure. Nope, the man would have run for his life.
One shower with three shampoos to get the powder out of her hair, a quick change of clothes and a light dusting of make-up later, she was ready to if not dazzle, then at least intrigue. She figured with as bad she'd looked before, anything would be an improvement.
So she was off to dazzle Sam Reese and see what she could do about keeping her promise...the one she'd made to have sex with the next attractive, single man to cross her path.

HomeArchiveWas Another Aurora Mass Murder Prevented, and where was the Mainstream Media?
Was Another Aurora Mass Murder Prevented, and where was the Mainstream Media?
August 7, 2012 AFP Archive 0
By Pat Shannan
Who really deserves the most publicity in Aurora? The man who single-handedly prevented a mass execution or the mentally unstable individual who has been blamed for a movie theater massacre?
After weeks of front-page headlines and lead TV news stories, the controlled news propagandists could find no new words with which to further demonize James Holmes, having worn out the gun-grabbing card. But with contrary witness testimony, yet-to-be-seen surveillance tapes from both inside and outside the Aurora, Colorado movie theater and exculpatory evidence strewn around the rear parking lot, the question is no longer whether Holmes acted alone, but rather did he act at all—except as a setup patsy for the real killers.
Yet amidst all the hysteria, one pertinent news story has been omitted—one that might have been the forerunner to all this, except for one decisive act by a law-abiding, gun-toting citizen.
Aurora has a law that prevents people, even those with a permit for concealed weapons, from carrying guns in public places like a movie theater or a restaurant.
However, the setting on a Sunday afternoon only three months earlier had been much the same when the sitting congregation of the New Destiny Church heard a car crash outside just as services were ending. Josephine Echols, 67, mother of the pastor, ran outside to be of assistance, in case anyone was hurt. Instead, she was shot five times and killed by Kiarron Parker, 29, who was recently released from prison after serving time for drug charges and assault on two police officers. This, too, happened in the quiet town of Aurora.
The different hitch in this earlier case was that one of the church members, the murdered woman's nephew, was an off-duty Denver policeman who happened to be armed that day. As Parker turned to enter the church, presumably to take hostages and shoot more people, Antonio Milow was stepping outside and saw his aunt being shot. He drew his service revolver, leveled a quick bead and dropped Parker with one shot.
Neither of these cases offers anything to support the ridiculous liberal cause of disarming the citizenry and actually should be all that the voting citizens of Aurora need to repeal those city statutes that prevent one from protecting himself in a public place.
Milow was not in the church on police duty. He was there as a private citizen. Fortunately, he had a weapon and knew how to use it.
FOX-TV News reported that Holmes has been asking his jailer, "Why am I here?" This is straight from the mind-control textbook. After 44 years, Sirhan Sirhan still remembers nothing from the RFK murder night, leading many to believe, including this author, that he too was mind-controlled.
