Young women and teenage girls often face efforts by male partners to sabotage birth control or coerce pregnancy - including damaging condoms and destroying contraceptives - and these efforts, defined as "reproductive coercion," frequently are associated with physical or sexual violence, a study by a team of researchers led by UC Davis has found.
Published online today in the January issue of the journal Contraception, the study, "Pregnancy Coercion, Intimate Partner Violence and Unintended Pregnancy," also found that among women who experienced both reproductive coercion and partner violence, the risk of unintended pregnancy doubled. The study is the first quantitative examination of the relationship between intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancy, the authors say.
"This study highlights an under-recognized phenomenon where male partners actively attempt to promote pregnancy against the will of their female partners," said lead study author Elizabeth Miller, an assistant professor of pediatrics in the UC Davis School of Medicine and a practitioner at UC Davis Children's Hospital. "Not only is reproductive coercion associated with violence from male partners, but when women report experiencing both reproductive coercion and partner violence, the risk for unintended pregnancy increases significantly."
Conducted between August 2008 and March 2009 at five reproductive health clinics in Northern California, the study involved approximately 1,300 English- and Spanish-speaking 16- to 29-year-old women who agreed to respond to a computerized survey about their experiences with relationships and pregnancy.
Study participants were asked questions about birth-control sabotage, pregnancy coercion and intimate partner violence to assess their experience of pregnancy coercion and birth control sabotage. Questions included:
- "Has someone you were dating or going out with ever told you not to use any birth control" or "- said he would leave you if you would not get pregnant?"
- "Has someone you were dating or going out with ever taken off the condom while you were having sex so that you would get pregnant?"
Approximately one in five young women said they experienced pregnancy coercion and 15 percent said they experienced birth control sabotage. Over half the respondents - 53 percent - said they had experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner. More than a third of the women who reported partner violence - 35 percent - also reported either pregnancy coercion or birth control sabotage.

THOMAS H. CARSON,
HAROLD B. BOMPAS,
The title-page of the present Edition of the Real Property Statutes has, it will be seen, been altered. The Table of Editions printed at the foot of this Preface shows that the last Edition prepared by the late Mr. Shelford was published in 1863, after which date he took no further part in the work. The alterations made since that date have been such that it has been thought right to alter the title of the book.
As regards the Statutes included in the book, the legislation during the ten years which have elapsed since the publication of the Ninth Edition has necessitated considerable alterations and additions. Thus the sections contained in Part I. of the Land Transfer Act, 1897 (see pp. 417 to 428), have supplemented the previous Statutes dealing with the payment of the debts of a deceased person out of his real estate, and the machinery by which that payment was to be effected (the Debts Recovery Acts, 1830, 1839 and 1848; the Administration of Estates Act, 1833; the Law of Property Amendment Act, 1859, ss. 14 to 18). These important sections have now been inserted, together with references to the few reported cases in which the Courts have been called upon to interpret them.

I feel like being a digital painter I won't really get me the opportunity to become a snobby "fine artist" and just sit around doing whatever the fuck I want and throw it in a gallery and get fuckloads of money. Cause it's just that easy right? yeah. Must be.

Research clearly shows that restorative justice interventions are more effective at reducing repeat crime and reducing recidivism than our current mainstream justice systems (Sherman & Strang 2007, http://www.smith-institute.org.uk/pdfs/RJ_full_report.pdf). This is not to say we don’t need a strong criminal justice system. We do need courts and to protect the community from people with dangerous behavior, but prison without rehabilitation only creates more crime.
Hawai‘i’s prison recidivism rates are consistent with the U.S. national average with about 50% of all the people being released from prison coming back within only two years of their release.
Aotearoa (New Zealand), which provides more rehabilitation in its prisons than most states, has a significantly lower recidivism rate with about 37% of their incarcerated people returning to prison within two years, and the people of Aotearoa would like to see even less recidivism (http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA0807/S00086.htm).
In the 1970s there were less than 20 women incarcerated in Hawai‘i. Today the number of incarcerated women is around 700 and includes a disproportionate share of Native Hawaiians. African Americans and Latinos are also disproportionately represented in prisons across the United States. Something is wrong. Injustice is occurring, and recidivism is terribly high. The system has not worked for years, and needs to change.
It seems obvious that implicit biases are driving this injustice of disproportionate numbers of people of color being held in American prisons. In the book Blink Malcolm Gladwell provided the link to a great implicit bias test that anyone can take on line from Harvard University to measure their personal biases. Check it out: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/ and see what you are biased about–it is a surprising test that we should all take to learn more about our perceptions and beliefs.
“Getting tough with crime” might help politicians get votes, but “getting smart with crime” is what will benefit our communities in the long run.
Restorative processes are wise interventions for helping people harmed by crime to have an opportunity to address what they might need to heal, and for increasing the possibility for rehabilitation of those who committed the crimes. Restorative justice is an example of positive criminology.
In Hawai‘i we have developed many restorative interventions that positively address crime and imprisonment including Reentry & Transition Planning Circles, a process for incarcerated people and their loved ones (http://www.amazon.com/Reentry-Transition-Planning-Circles-Incarcerated/dp/0615529429/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318274616&sr=8-2).
The circles are a good way to address our implicit biases, promote healing, and help generate rehabilitation.

The best foods to relieve constipation
There’s no precise number of times you should go, but if you’re going less than three times a week, you might be constipated. Fortunately, there are plenty of foods to help keep your digestive system on track.
Foods that can help you go
Some dietary factors contribute to regularity, like the amount of dietary fiber, legumes, whole grains, and water you consume. When you get a proper amount, bowel movements are easier and more regular.
If you’re wondering what you should eat to avoid occasional constipation or what foods are high in fiber, check out this list of good foods and drinks to help relieve constipation:
An apple a day adds much-needed fiber to your diet.
Many believe beans cause excessive gas, but in reality, the more you eat the more frequent you’ll be.
Grab a cup of coffee and you’ll probably end up in the bathroom shortly after — its bitterness stimulates your need to go.
Just one cup of boiled lentils contains 9 grams of fiber.
High in fiber, sorbitol, and phenolic compounds, add prunes to the top of your grocery list.
Rich in fiber, pumpkin seeds also contain magnesium levels that are helpful in aiding constipation.
Fiber and tartaric acid make raisins the perfect food to sprinkle on cereal or snack on throughout the day.
Eating high-fiber vegetables like sweet potatoes, corn, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower is one of the easiest ways to add fiber to your diet.
Remain hydrated throughout the day, especially when eating fibers for smoother bowel movements.
Looking for relief? Just let us know what’s wrong, and we’ll point you to the right place.
More help with constipation
If you’ve made daily adjustments and incorporated foods to help you go, but sometimes find you’re still backed up, it might be time to explore a medication solution.

Until now, we’ve seen Samsung and Huawei make foldable phones and both phones are far from perfect. TCL has now chipped in a new foldable design that has not one but two hinges and folds into three portions.
The Chinese company has taken inspiration from both Samsung’s Fold that folds inwards and Huawei Mate X that folds outwards and has devised a phone that folds both ways. This is because the large 10-inch screen prototype folds once inwards and once outwards with two hinges to support the action.
The TCL foldable phone prototype that CNET got their hands on was a non-operational model with a demo display but it shows what to expect from the hardware. There are four cameras at the back, a first in terms of foldable phones and all four reside on a back panel clear of any display component, like the one of the Galaxy Fold. The four cameras are aligned horizontally at the top portion which is also inscribed by the TCL logo.
The part where this differs from Samsung’s Fold is on the front which houses a larger display While a front camera isn’t noticeable in the prototype, CNET says that there will be a single selfie camera on the front.
Since this isn’t a working prototype, it’s unclear whether users will be able to use the smartphone with two screens. It, however, makes sense for the phone to be used with a single screen (for mobility) and three screens (as a tablet). When folded, only one of three display portions will be left exposed with a regular-looking back panel.
Apart from the details provided above, there isn’t any more information available about TCL’s foldable phone. TCL will be launching the foldable phone in 2020 but the pricing of the device is yet to be known.
Huawei is shipping its Mate X foldable phone on November 15 in China for 16,999 yuan (approx. Rs 1,70,000). Samsung has already started selling theGalaxy Fold in India for Rs 1,64,999and is already developing its second generation Galaxy Fold with a clamshell design and ultra-thin glass for launch in April 2020. Motorola is also expected to launch its RAZR foldable smartphone next month in Los Angeles.

In July 2015, JR Hokkaido announced that it would be closing the station along with three others on the line (Shimo-Shirataki Station, Kami-Shirataki Station, and Kanehana Station) in March 2016, due to low passenger usage. According to a news report, as of January 2016, there was only one passenger using the station regularly; later reports suggest that there were in fact over 10 additional passengers.

Two former tenants of a building owned in part by controversial real estate developer Ben Shaoul are suing the owners and managers of the walkup for failing to snuff out bedbugs.
The complaint, filed last month, alleges that the landlords of 508 East 12th Street were “willfully, wantonly, deliberate and grossly negligent” in dealing with the infestation, causing “pain, shock, mental anguish.”
Lauren Wilms, 24, and Alexandra Sanchez, 25, told The Local that they moved into the building in June 2011; within six weeks, bedbugs had infiltrated their home. During the three-month infestation, they woke up with bites on their bodies and faces, and had to evacuate repeatedly for exterminators, the plaintiffs said.
P.V.E. Associates proved difficult to deal with throughout the process, according to the roommates. “We were traumatized and broken down ourselves from dealing with this situation, but we were being yelled at by the management company,” Ms. Sanchez said.
The two friends also allege that P.V.E. Associates knew about the bedbug problem before they moved in, but didn’t bother notifying them. Ms. Wilms and Ms. Sanchez said they learned that the tenants in the rent-stabilized unit above theirs had already been dealing with a bedbug infestation for several months. If the case goes to trial, their lawyer, Jared Cooper, plans to have the upstairs neighbors testify that they notified P.V.E. Associates about the problem before Ms. Wilms and Ms. Sanchez signed their lease, but received no response.
The roommates left the apartment when their lease expired in July of this year.
Mr. Cooper puts his clients’ financial losses – including money spent on hotel stays, dry cleaning and new clothes and furniture – at $75,000, but said they are suing for an unspecified amount well above that figure.
P.V.E. Associates declined to comment on the suit. Last week, the company, along with three others listed in the complaint as owners of the building, filed a response denying the bulk of its allegations and asserting that the plaintiffs were responsible for any injuries or damages they may have incurred. The complaint also cited “operation of nature” as a cause, and went on to say that if the plaintiffs did indeed sustained the alleged damage, it was due to the negligence of a terminator and of Prexus Holdings, listed in the complaint as one of the building’s owners.
Mr. Shaoul was not mentioned by name in the suit, but is listed on a Department of Buildings filing as a member of 508 East 12th Street Realty LLC, a partner in the building at the time Ms. Wilms and Ms. Sanchez were tenants. He too declined to comment.
Ms. Wilms said she wanted the management company to take responsibility. “They lied to us the whole time. We were treated completely unfairly,” she said. “We needed legitimate help and they are supposed to be the people that were there to help us.”

Assignment 2: Collecting: Legs
Create a series of between six and ten photographs on Crowds, Views, Heads or your own choosing. Use variety focal lengths, viewpoints and apertures.
Sample of Collection Photos
To start with I tried looking at views. However, despite trying several locations I still felt they were not telling much of a story. Looking at all the shots although some had interesting lighting I felt it better to try another subject. Whilst looking at the alternatives thinking heads and the opposite tails I then thought legs. About two years ago I had seen a Guy Bourdin Exhibition in London where the main subject was legs and I remember some works from Helmut Newton. Although they were in a glamour setting I thought I would attempt to see if I could make it work in everyday life.
The final ten shots I chose all ended up coming from the same shoot. I had hoped to have a variety but they just did not seem to gel. On the technical side the lenses range from 55mm to 300mm. Due to low light levels the ISOs tend to be quite high – 400 to 3600 and f numbers wide – f4.5 to f8. Shutter speeds are relatively low for the zoom lens from 1/60 to 1/125.
Whilst taking views wasn’t too difficult I was not happy that there was any story being told by them. I thought a collection of legs would actually be quite easy to put together but it was harder than I expected. Although having many ideas in my head, actually capturing them was a different matter.
Low light was a primary reason for using wide apertures, but it also suited the subject well reducing depth of field and highlighting the subject. Even wider apertures would have helped even more to achieve this. The shutter speeds were consistent and not really relevant for this project. The focal lengths used I felt were appropriate to each subject. I was surprised how difficult it was to get long distance suitably framed shots. I feel I could have perhaps done more with viewpoints although some of the shots like the swing and climbing frame I think offer something that could be worked upon.
I feel the series worked quite well as a whole and I think that by not doing views I have pushed myself to try to get the viewer to question more and question what is going on. Whilst there is a link between the park shots and the street shots it is perhaps harder to see how the two lots fit together. Perhaps developing the movement theme might have helped with an overall theme. The bright orange overalls add a bit of warmth but stand out from the other shots. My favourite shot is the reflection in the window with the manikin legs behind the glass.
On reflection I think the subject idea was quite strong but I needed more of a linking theme to tie them together better. As well as movement, suitable other themes could include age, colour, reflection, leisure or in particular locations. This exercise has taught me I need to be giving considerably more time to planning and what I am aiming to get out as an end result. I also felt it helped me to understand what magazines such as British Journal of Photography are trying to portray rather than everyday technique magazines.
Technical and visual – I think these photos worked quite well to fulfil the theme. On reflection I think there are many things I could do to improve quality of the individual photos such as better framing and better use of depth of field. Exploring more of the movement of each subject could have added an extra layer to the composition.
Quality of Outcome- I am pleased that I pushed myself further to try and put more of a story together. I think with better planning and more thought in taking shots I can increase this.
Demonstration of Creativity- I think that I achieved a level of creativity with a coherent theme and wanting the viewer to question what is going on.
Context- Reflection is something new to me but hopefully this is something that I am starting to develop.

Health and safety law has undergone huge changes at the turn of several decades, but fatal accidents still occur in the workplace, and often at plants that care about the safety of their staff. In addition to employee training, routine inspection of equipment, including hoists, cranes, overhead cranes and other machinery that carries multi-ton loads, is important here. Why is this so important?
Legal requirements and realities in workplaces
Health and safety regulations are becoming stricter each day and production hall managers are forced to pay attention to new guidelines. Legal regulations require that hoists should be inspected at least once every three months, and in the case of more advanced machines it should be done even once a month. Although at first glance the window may seem overzealous, it must be remembered that sometimes during one unloading the equipment must bear a load that exceeds several hundred tons. In addition to the machine itself, you also need to check the condition of the steel ropes, hooks and handles that are involved in the product transport process.
For hoists or cranes that work in a more demanding environment, such as a chemical plant or wet room, experts recommend checking equipment by a qualified authority as often as possible. Visual inspection by the equipment operator should take place before each use of the hoist.
What do regular checks give?
Preventive maintenance not only reduces the risk of downtime and costly repair bills, but also ensures that the team of employees is not exposed to danger. This is important because even a relatively harmless accident can end tragically if the hoists handle heavy loads. The consequences that would rest in this case on the company are not limited to financial penalties, but also result in a decrease in customer confidence.
How do you find a company that will assess the condition of the machines?
When looking for the perfect contractor to develop a maintenance plan, it’s best to be guided by the opinions of other customers. Often, entrepreneurs believe that the inspection carried out by their insurance company is sufficient in terms of compliance with the law, however, visual inspection of the crane and the load rope will not help to detect more serious problems. Hoists should therefore undergo a detailed inspection of all components that make up the machine

The ACLU of New Jersey joined with occupy protesters to sue the state police for the return of personal belongings confiscated by the police during raids on the occupy encampment in Trenton. The judge agreed. NBC reports:
Jacobson on Monday granted a temporary restraining order against the state, saying troopers couldn't confiscate signs or personal property. "The state cannot arbitrarily create restrictive policies just because it does not like how people are using a public space," said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Ed Barocas.
Remember when the Boston Police Department trashed hundreds of people's tents and belongings in a late night raid, ending with over 140 arrests? We do, too.

Gold: Will Redditers Show This Commodity Some Love Too?
Will the Redditers on WallStreetBets move on to next?
As the world watches with mouths agape as once-meek retail investors play whack-a-mole with powerful stock-shorting hedge funds, I wonder if the democratization of investing would (and should) extend to the commodity markets too.
In fact, , the so-called poorer cousin of gold, has already gained almost $3 an ounce, or 12%, since Thursday’s close of nearly $25.40 on New York’s Comex, on talk of Redditers going long on a metal said to be shorted below fair value by commodity funds.
I’m of the opinion that gold—like silver—has barely justified its trade levels over the past six months since being forced off August’s record highs of above $2,000 an ounce.
I have equally strong views against the dollar and U.S. bonds yields being held on a higher ground than gold, and we’ll come to that in a moment.
Gold Prices Barely Reflect Logic, Common Sense And Fundamentals
As the disclaimer on my columns read, I do not invest in the commodities or securities I write about, so I have a zero sum gain in advocating for higher gold prices.
My currency is invested instead in logic, common sense and fundamentals.
That last one is critically important because much of the mocking of the buy-till-we-die mania of penny stocks by the Reddit community now has been put down to a poor understanding of share valuations.
Citron Research, one of Wall Street’s most famous short sellers and now one of those forced to buy back at astronomical prices the same GameStop (NYSE:) shares it was trying to drive down, bemoans that it’s lost upon the Reddit community that the stock the hedge fund was targeting belonged to a “failing mall-based retailer.”
Citron’s Chief Investment Officer Andrew Left, a storied short-seller forced to eat humble pie over the Reddit sting—so much so that he will only advise on stocks worth going long on from here—tries explaining in a Youtube video the irrationality of the fate that befell his fund:
“The amount of people who are so passionate about putting GameStop higher (is) not based on any fundamentals—it just shows the natural state of the market right now.”
Let’s stop right there and apply that same logic to the dollar and bond yields via the standing of the U.S. fiscal deficit, debt and money supply.
At a 1.1% yield on the 10-year note, the annual servicing payment would amount to roughly $370 billion. Right now, U.S. national debt is approaching $28 trillion, and total debt-to-GDP sits at a stunning 146%.
The U.S. federal budget deficit itself is already at $4.5 trillion or so, after adding the Trump administration’s $3 trillion plus COVID-19 stimulus for last year.
If the 10-year note’s yield rate stands at 2%, coupled with a $30 trillion national debt, annual servicing payments alone would amount to $660 billion roughly.
Annual deficits will continue to make the national debt stack ever higher.
And while the United States appears to be in the relatively early stages of a monetary expansion cycle, money supply could still increase substantially and set the country up for a return to the 2008/2009 financial crisis days.
With the dilution of the fiat monetary system, higher inflation is most certainly on the way. Historically, gold prices have a very strong correlation on a long-term basis with monetary base expansion.
Bizzare: Dollar, Yields On A Pedestal, Gold Downtrodden
Yet, the front-month gold futures contract on New York’s Comex lost 12% between its Aug. 7 record high of $2,089 and the $1,832 low of last week.
The , which pits the greenback against six major currencies, lost just 5% between its relative high of 94.795 on Sept. 25 and the bottom of 90.090 seen last week.
Even more mind-boggling was the Aug. 7 high of 0.569 on the was 75% lower than last week’s bottom of 0.996. In fact, the yield reached a pre-pandemic high of 1.187 around mid-January.
So, on fundamentals alone, what’s the justification for placing the dollar and yields on a pedestal, while trodding upon gold? Don’t give me the technical charts argument, which to me is secondary to fundamentals.
Also, let’s stop regurgitating the fertilizer about the Fed “taper.” Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell has done everything in his power—short of climbing the Everest, diving to the depths of the Atlantic and slaying dragons—to make it clear that the central bank isn’t going to taper stimulus efforts or raise interest rates anytime soon to give dollar bulls the benefit of doubt in the so-called taper game.
In fact, if there’s any benefit of doubt to be given, it should be for the hurdles of bipartisanship sought by President Joe Biden for his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus. Yet, with work-arounds like “reconciliation” available to Senate Democrats, the stimulus is likely to pass; maybe in a couple or more installments, but it SHOULD pass. And the $1.9 trillion won’t be the only fiscal relief he’s only looking at, Biden has promised.
Of course, the commodity funds and the banks involved in the bullion trade know all this.
Gold: Naturally Depressed Or Manipulated?
Yet, gold prices remain depressed, even manipulated, should I say, to benefit the shorting funds and bullion-banks. Low gold prices also help central banks hoard the metal cheaply for reserve-building. I know I’m not alone in feeling this, based on the comments I get on my gold analyses, and the feedback on Investing.com’s gold forum each time the metal’s prices nears new lows for the year.
But my hopes for a Reddit shakeup of gold will probably not go far because of the entry level that determines these things. One reason the rally in penny stocks championed by retail investors over the past two weeks was so successful was because these assets were cheap to get into. GameStop was under $18 a share before its buying frenzy began. Gold is currently trading at well above $1,800 an ounce. It’s quite clear that we are comparing apples to oranges here.
Also, let’s be clear that I’m not advocating for lawless intervention in the markets, which would then defeat the very purpose of my post—that everyone plays on a field that’s level. The jury is still out on whether the WallStreetBets action on GameStop is tantamount to collusion, which would then be “unlawful.”
But while the lawyers who charge hundreds of dollars or more an hour chew over the legalese of this, let’s not forget how we got here in the first place: the hedge funds that shorted GameStop borrowed 140% of all the available shares in the company—more than what was LEGALLY available—to apparently reach their so-called “fair value” for the stock. There’s another word for this: greed. It accompanies two other interchangeable words: Arrogance and Stupidity. That’s what these hedge funds are paying for.
All said and done, it’s empowering—and fun—to break down the walls that protect the elite—especially the undeserving elite, who wouldn’t be where they are if the rules that applied to others applied to them too. It’s also heartwarming to read that a 10-year-old boy whose mother innocently bought him 10 GameStop shares at just over $6 each two years ago is at least $3,200 richer now.
Let me know your thoughts on gold.

Japanese Internment Camps
The Truth Will Always Prevail
In the months after Pearl Harbor on May 15th, 1942 the United States Government started a relocation process of the Japanese Americans living in the U.S. at the time.
Here is a picture of what looks to be a clean internment camp somewhere in Texas.
Up close and personal however these camps were very dirty and instead of nig nice barracks, the people of the camps lived in small dingy shacks.
Here is a picture of the girl scout club in one of the camps which seems to be a fun activity.
However just outside of this small gathering room there is most likely armed guards outside ready to fire at all times.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is the last part of the little trilogy of movies that takes place in this franchise. This was released at the peak of Feddy mania! His movies were making a ton of money, there was a lot of merch and we even had the Freddy’s Nightmares TV show. Plus, work was being done on a video game that would be released the following year.
How to Download A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child was released on August 11, 1989. You can download or stream the film from a digital platform. Click on the Download button at the end of this review and make your choice.
The Movie Review
Introduction to the Film
For me, parts 3 and 4 are the best that this series has to offer and while part 5 is a fun continuation, it never quite hits the same heights. Returning from the last movie we have Alice who has a boyfriend called Dan and they are very happy together. A year has passed since Alice killed Freddy, but some strange things are starting to happen.
Exploring the Plot
One of the best things about A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is the scene where we find out how Freddy was born. The next movie would also dive into Freddy’s past, but seeing his mother give birth to him and him being this grotesque evil baby was really cool, actually one of the highlights of the movie now that I think about it.
Unraveling the Mystery
Alice has suspicions that there is something wrong as Amanda Krueger has been appearing to her, almost as if she is warning her about something. Of course, Freddy never stays dead long and he has quite a clever way of getting his power back! Alice is pregnant and he has been using the dreams of her baby to attack her friends.
In typical Nightmare on Elm Street fashion, Alice has a group of friends that start to come around and believe in Freddy as they start to see him too. In many ways, it is a typical Nightmare on Elm Street movie, but I think the stuff with Freddy trying to possess the baby and his backstory being more important were good decisions. They would dive into the “Freddy lore” even more in the next movie, Freddy is Dead, but in that one, they may have gone a tad too far.
We have full on wise cracking and crazy Freddy here with some even more over the top kills. I get why this is not for everyone, but I always get such a huge kick out of these. There is a scene where one of Alice’s friends, Mark is pulled into a comic book world as he loves comic books and he has to fight Freddy who has taken on the role of a supervillain! While this and a couple of other scenes are fun, like Mecha Dan, for example, I do think 3 and 4 have way more creative and fun kills.
While A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is not one of the most popular movies in the franchise, I still really enjoy it. I liked the stuff with Amanda Krueger and while other movies have better kills, we still get to see a lot of Freddy, being Freddy! I enjoy this one and think it is a good way to bring the story of Alice to a close.
- Freddy has some great one liners in this movie
- The comic book scene is great
- I liked how they closed Alice’s story
- The stuff with Freddy’s mother was good
- It never hits the heights of 3 and 4
- Some of the wisecracks may be a bit far for some people


1 million need food handouts
Almost a million people took food from food banks in the past year—up 163 percent on the year before. Food bank provider the Trussell Trust says rising living costs, low pay and benefit issues are pushing people to “breaking point”.
Arms dealers sponsor games
A new addition to the 2014 Commonwealth Games’ “sponsor family” is defence firm Selex. It will provide surveillance, security and communications services. Its parent company Finmeccanica sells arms to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. They also supply radar for Israeli drones.
Blair holds up Iraq report
The Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war will now not report until next year at the earliest, apparently thanks to delays caused by Tony Blair. The inquiry was first ordered six years ago.
Charges for death cops
Two cops could face charges over evidence given at the 2012 inquest into the death of Sean Rigg. Sean died in police custody in Brixton in 2008. CCTV footage at the inquest called cops’ evidence into question. A sergeant and a constable were arrested last year on suspicion of perjury and perverting the course of justice.

Like I said in my last blog post I am allowing some frozen/processed foods in my diet. It has been interesting so far. Not all of these products are created equal. Let's start with the bad.
I was extremely hopeful that I would like the Healthy Choice Lobster Cheese Ravioli. It certainly sounded good. However, I am convinced now that Lobster has to be fresh. It just tasted too fishy. I didn't even finish it. Instead, I immediately put it down the disposal and nuked the Healthy Choice Pumpkin Squash Ravioli. I ate it all, but it was strange. I thought it was going to be a combination of sweet and savory. It was heavy on the sweet and too easy on the savory. The addition of the granny smith apples seemed entirely out of place. Today I tried the Healthy Choice Portabella Marsala Pasta. It was much better than the raviolis. It is highly rated on the Healthy Choice website. I will definitely be reading more of the reviews on the website before purchasing anymore Healthy Choice frozen entrees. Some of their soups are okay, but soup tends to already be fairly low in calories if you pick the right ones. With that in mind, I prefer brands like Amy's Kitchen and Wolfgang Puck. Both brands are organic and packed with flavor.
The Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli is much better than the Healthy Choice Ravioli. Overall I haven't tried very many Lean Cuisine meals. It seems like they have often disappointed me in the past. One of my client's said that the Three Meat Pizza is quite good and satisfying. It's 390 calories. If you have tried a few of the Lean Cuisine products that you really enjoyed, then please post them in the comments.
As far as pizza goes I found some frozen pizzas that I really like that don't break the calorie bank. For a supreme pizza I like DiGiorno 200 Calorie portions. I also really like the California Pizza Kitchen small pizzas. I particularly like the BBQ Chicken (around 500 calories) and Margherita (430 calories) pizzas. Sometime over the next week I'm going to try the Hawaiian pizza (380 calories). I was also quite pleased with Freschetta Chicken, Spinach, and Mushroom pizza by the slice. I can't remember how many calories it was, but I believe it was under 400. It was delicious and full of flavor.
As far as food from the freezer aisle, I have also tried several of the Smart Ones. My favorite so far is the Pasta with Spinach and Ricotta.(300 calories, 8 points). Since the Smart Ones entrees were on sale today at the grocery store I stocked up on a variety of different ones to try. I will blog my reviews over the next two weeks. Let me know if you have a favorite Smart Ones, and I'll be sure to put it on my grocery list.
Now I am off to get ready. My husband is taking me out to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. It's actually tomorrow, but who says we can't celebrate early? It's definitely going to be a cheat meal.
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
I must admit that my holiday detox did get a bit derailed, but I am decidedly unapologetic. I learned that it was too extreme for me, and that I really don't want to give up my Starbucks Espresso & Cream Doubleshot. I do intend to keep the rules of detox in mind for moderation. For example, I am going to cut back on sugar and fat intake simply because it makes low-calorie eating more comfortable. It is easier to eat low-calorie when you fill up on low-cal fruits and vegetables that are packed with nutrition and fiber. I am also cutting back on meat. I'm going to try to stick with mostly fish, chicken, and vegetarian meals. I hope to limit my intake of beef and pork to 2-3 meals per week.
Also to set myself up for success I'm going to stop eating with my husband, Carl, during the work week. Carl tends to eat later in the evening, and he cooks the most amazing food. However, I tend to overeat his delicious cuisine. I also don't need to eat that late, because I go to bed relatively early. He can eat that late because he has an awesome metabolism. Plus he's 6' 7" so if he gains a pound or two he wears it well. I'm not so lucky.
In an attempt to get ready for pool season (it's just around the corner!), I am determined to watch my calories during the week. I will allow myself a couple "cheat days" on the weekends so I can still enjoy my husband's delicious cooking from time to time.
To plan ahead I brainstormed several different lunch and dinner options to have at home or on the go. I put the list in the notes on my iPhone so that it's with me everywhere I go. For the purposes of ease, calorie control, and portion control I am including processed and frozen foods in my diet. However, I hope to balance them out with fresh produce. I am also allowing some fast food, but I don't plan on eating it all the time.
Within this post I will list lunch and dinner options together since they are mostly interchangeable. Most of the items on the list reflect my personal taste so it is not an all-inclusive list by any means. If you have other favorites in mind, then please add them in the comments.
My Easy Low-cal Lunches and Dinners
English Muffin Pizzas (Make with your own favorite toppings, pizza sauce, and 2% cheese.)
California Pizza Kitchen Personal Size Pizza (Margherita or BBQ Chicken, each 430 calories)
DiGiorno 200-calorie Portion Pizza paired with a salad

Veggie Gluten-free Quesadilla*

Wolfgang Puck Organic Creamy Butternut Squash Soup (140 calories per cup) and a salad
Wolfgang Puck Organic Tomato Basil Bisque (150 calories per cup) and a grilled cheese sandwich
Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli (260 calories) and 3 oz. grilled chicken or salmon
Smart Ones Lasagna Florentine (310 calories) and a small salad or cup of soup
Smart Ones Pasta with Ricotta and Spinach (280 calories) with a Tbsp.of grated parmesan and 3 oz. Rotisserie chicken breast (no skin)

California Sushi Rolls (small roll from the supermarket)
Wendy's Half Salads*
Fish Tacos and Black Beans*
Curry Chicken Lettuce Wraps*
*See previous blog post in the archives for recipe or a more extensive list of options.
For breakfast I am sticking with my Espresso & Cream Doubleshot. I will get the Light version when I can. If I wake up hungry I will have some oatmeal. Otherwise, I will have my oatmeal as an afternoon snack. For more variety of snacks I will choose from my previous post, "Bunches of Low-Calorie Snack Options."
Please feel free to post your favorite, easy low-calorie meals in the comments.

October’s Annual Stock Market Scare Fest
“If you’re after above average results over time, then you have to stop thinking and/or reacting like everyone else. Turn off the news, ignore the TV financial pundits, and focus instead on thinking differently than the crowd…”
Well, in case you missed it the first week of the new quarter sucked.
Hallows Eve can't come too soon, right?
Fear is rising, rates are rising, political unrest is rising and tensions in general are ratcheting upwards.
And if you look to the media rest assured they’ll tell you that something even worse is just around the corner.
Did You Know?
Since 1900, the median “up day” for the Dow Jones is +0.51%, and the median “down day” for the Index is -0.50%.
More importantly, the Dow is up 39,500% over since that time.
Now, if you can think of anything more black and white that clearly identifies why patience is still your very best friend in the wealth-building pathway ahead, please send it along to me so that I can share it with everyone else.
Investing Rule #612
“Every single thing that caused a setback in the markets and struck fear in your heart or concern in your mind - prior to this very moment - was an opportunity, not a threat.”
Time and patience was the only price that you were required to pay.
Ain't No Sunshine...
In general, people are still so terrified of stocks after the Great Recession of 2008-2009 that "if you show me a few weeks of red ink, I will show you a crowd who is as afraid today as they were back then; when the Dow Jones as below 7,000."
Today the Index is at about 26,000, give or take.
And yet after just a few ugly days of bad internals and red ink the place has been fire-hosed with fear.
The first graphic (above) shows sentiment falling to 33% as of last Friday's close (it was twice that high a month ago).
What’s even more interesting are the blue arrows on the second graphic above. In simplest terms there are not a lot of instances when the readings have been lower. And that includes the 16% correction at the beginning of 2016, which at the time was called "the worst start for the markets in 85 years."
Of course the not-so-terrible reason for last week's actions, other than anything Trump did, was rising in interest rates.
That shouldn’t be a surprise, folks. But as is always the case with investor "panic attacks" the front-runners get crushed; they get hurt the worst on setbacks but and run the highest on new rallies.
The snapshot below shows you that we are barely off the highs, and maybe more will unfold, but the good news is that we are seeing a very quick move by investors towards the sidelines.
And the press?
Well, they are eating this up!
The highlight stats in yellow (above) show the pullback percentages from what was then the most recent highs - all perfectly normal I might add - but this goes all the way back to the March 2009 Armageddon era lows.
I added two red dots. Those dots correlate to the blue arrowed line on the Fear and Greed Index chart just above it, showing just how close current readings are compared to previous lows!
And yet, we are between just 2.00% and 2.50% off the most recent highs, and little more than one good day upwards erases all of that.
So I’ll repeat the quote above: “If you want above average returns, then stop thinking like everyone else. Turn off the news, financial pundits, and focus on thinking different and better.”
The “Hiker’s” Guide to the Financial Galaxy
Last week CNBC showed commentary from the reliably bearish Peter Boockvar.
I have been side-by-side with him many a time over the years in interviews and he has never been positive…ever.
So what was his big attention grabber last week?
"The Fed Could Be Hiking Us Right Into a Recession!"
Sure Peter, and lightening could also strike me dead on Tuesday but I’m not going to sweat it. And the real purpose of this kind of hyped-up coverage was an “unscientific” poll at the end of the CNBC post asking if you thought there would be a recession next year.
A staggering 61% answered “yes.”
Tune out the noise, folks. Wealth doesn’t like crowds.

Have you ever wondered What Is A Frenchton? In this blog article, we will delve into the origins and characteristics of this unique breed. Get ready to explore the fascinating world of Frenchtons and discover what makes them so special!
What is a Frenchton?
A Frenchton is a designer dog breed that is a cross between a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. This hybrid breed combines the best traits of both parent breeds, resulting in a charming and lovable companion.
The Frenchton breed originated in the United States and has gained popularity in recent years. Breeders wanted to create a dog that possessed the playful and friendly nature of the Boston Terrier, along with the distinctive appearance of the French Bulldog. Through careful breeding, the Frenchton was born.
Frenchtons are small to medium-sized dogs with a sturdy and muscular build. They have a short, smooth coat that can come in a variety of colors, including brindle, fawn, black, and white. With their adorable smushed faces and expressive eyes, Frenchtons are undeniably charming.
One of the most endearing qualities of Frenchtons is their friendly and affectionate nature. They are known for their love of human companionship and make excellent family pets. Frenchtons are also intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train.
Frenchtons have a moderate energy level and enjoy both playtime and relaxation. They are adaptable to various living situations, whether it’s in a small apartment or a larger home with a yard. Regular exercise, such as walks and interactive play, is important to keep them happy and healthy.
As with any dog breed, Frenchtons can be prone to certain health issues. Some common health concerns include respiratory problems, allergies, and joint issues. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet can help mitigate these risks and ensure the overall well-being of your Frenchton.
Now that you know what a Frenchton is, you can appreciate the unique blend of traits that make this breed so special. From their adorable appearance to their friendly temperament, Frenchtons are truly one-of-a-kind companions. If you’re considering adding a Frenchton to your family, make sure to do your research and find a reputable breeder. With proper care and love, your Frenchton will bring joy and happiness to your life for years to come.

Just 48 hours after criticising Celtic’s response to the Nimmo Smith enquiry Charles Green is back to lumping Celtic in with his get-rich-quick schemes for Sevco.
Having been snubbed by adidas for a kit deal and agreeing a 12 month shirt sponsorship deal for an undisclosed sum with Blackthorn Cider the Yorkshireman is poised to save Scottish football by taking his club AND Celtic to England.
After unaudited accounts revealed that debt free Sevco are losing £1m a month Green turned to his pet broadcaster to predict yet another exit from Scottish football.
“I’m convinced that Rangers and Celtic will not be playing in Scotland in five years because I think Rangers and Celtic are too big to remain there,” Green told unquestioning STV. “I think there will be cross-border leagues.
“I think if you’ve seen the press today there are a number of comments from the [IFAB] meeting in Edinburgh where they are already looking at sanctioning a Ukraine and Russia cross-border league.
“This concept that you can’t have cross border leagues is now a myth. There will be cross-border leagues within the next two or three years and I think Scottish football, forget what’s best for Celtic and Rangers, I think Scottish football will be better off without them.”
While there is broad agreement between clubs in Holland and Belgium and also in Russia and Ukraine there is no natural partner for Scottish clubs.
Earlier this season Green claimed that his club were wanted by The Conference but the subject has never been raised among clubs in the fifth tier of English football.
STV are also reporting that the naming rights for Ibrox have been sold to Sports Direct.

The outer lamp is often coated with phosphor which helps to counteract the bluish-green tint which is often created from mercury vapor as it can emit an unflattering ambient tint for the public eye. Phosphor coatings assist with emitting white light that is much more pleasing to the eye in overhead lighting structures.
Mercury lamps are proven to be more energy efficient that incandescent and fluorescent lighting, with long lasting high-performing lamp life. LightSources and our European Partner, LightTech, have developed proprietary technology for low-pressure mercury lamps (LP Hg lamp), providing powerful ultraviolet (UV) technology in a short efficient wavelength.
Our low-pressure mercury lamps convert 40% of electrical energy into effective UVC radiation used in several germicidal applications.

The CIA confirmed that Russia had tried to influence the result of the presidential election by hacking and leaking sensitive Democratic e-mails. The allegations were rubbished by Donald Trump’s team. America’s spooks are sure that Russia did try to intervene in the election; some are less certain than the CIA about the intent behind its actions. See article.
Mr Trump nominated Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, a surprise choice given that the chief executive of ExxonMobil has no experience of formal diplomacy, though he does have friendly ties with Russia. Rick Perry, a former governor of oil-rich Texas, is to head the Department of Energy, which he once forgot he wanted to abolish.

Going into the weekend series against the New York Mets, the Arizona Diamondbacks found themselves with a one-game lead over the San Francisco Giants. The Mets were coming off a series against the San Diego Padres where they lost two of three. This seemed to be a series the D-backs needed. If they could somehow win this series they should be able to hold serve against the Giants or possibly pad their lead in the National League Western Division.

SOUTH LOOP — A $312,000, yearlong restoration of a 115-year-old stained glass window at an historic South Loop church is complete, returning it to its previous glory.
The 16-foot-high by 8.5-foot-wide “Peace” window at the Second Presbyterian Church, 1936 S. Michigan, was designed by Tiffany Studios in 1903.
The window contains more than 7,500 individual pieces of glass, and each had to be separately restored.
“The restoration of this window was a labor-intensive project. There was one hundred years of dirt to clean off thousands of pieces of glass,” said Tom Venturella of Venturella Studio of New York, which did the restoration.
“Pieces of glass were cracked and missing. Each piece of glass had to be delicately cleaned by hand.”
The window came down in June 2017. It was disassembled into 15 sections and driven to New York.
The “Peace” window was donated to the church in honor of Silas B. Cobb, a Chicago pioneer, according to Friends of Historic Second Church, which raised the money for the work from 177 donors over five years.
The window is based on a 13th Century European design, and includes a depiction of an angel holding a banner banner that reads “Peace,” the group said.
Here are some photos of the restoration:

Trump has dismissed past presidents' policy toward North Korea as weak, but these documents show they weren'tBreaking News
tags: North Korea, South Korea
The George H.W. Bush administration understood North Korea might be negotiating in bad faith in the early 1990s, yet concluded that negotiations were the best way to resolve the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, according to documents posted today by The George Washington University-based National Security Archive.
The documents provide valuable historical context for U.S. policymakers as President Donald J. Trump travels to Asia to engage with allies over the North Korean nuclear threat. Many of the issues being confronted today echo those U.S. strategists faced two decades ago.
For example, one of the questions the Bush I administration debated was the advisability of military force. But even Defense Secretary Dick Cheney rejected the option, telling South Korean and Japanese leaders they should not consider "military measures" since "such discussion could jeopardize our initial diplomatic strategy," according to a high-level internal briefing book.
On the matter of China's motives, American policymakers were candid enough to acknowledge their uncertainty but did conclude that Beijing was unlikely to do anything that might threaten the regime in Pyongyang.
U.S. negotiating strategy included developing “nooses” to tighten around North Korea if it continued to delay, while understanding the importance of preparing the ground for multilateral coercive measures even as talks went ahead.
The documents in today's posting were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

Northern elephant seal born at Deception Pass
State Parks closes parts of Bowman Bay to protect the new pup
OLYMPIA – Feb. 4, 2022 – Washington State Parks announces the birth of a new northern elephant seal at Deception Pass State Park.
The birth took place on Jan. 31 at Bowman Bay in the park. The pup's mother is one of a small family of elephant seals that visits Whidbey and Fidalgo islands frequently and is well known to residents. This is her first pup.
Staff at Deception Pass have closed the Bowman Bay boat launch to all visitors. They have closed the day-use area at Bowman Bay to pets. Visitors hiking the Rosario Head/Lighthouse loop will find temporary detours around the area. These measures will give the pup room to nurse, lower its chances of imprinting on humans and preserve its habitat until it is weaned.
Northern elephant seals spend most of their time at sea feeding on squid, dogfish, or sharks. They make two migrations each year and come ashore to birth, breed or molt.
Elephant seal pups nurse for 24 to 28 days. They weigh 30 to 80 lb at birth and quadruple their weight in a month. For each pound the pup gains, the mother loses two. The mother leaves once the pup is weaned, though the pup may take another two weeks to swim or dive.
Parks Stewardship Program Manager Lisa Lantz emphasizes that a pup found alone on the beach is not necessarily in distress.
“The mother may be coming back, or the pup may have become independent,” said Lantz. “The key is not to ascribe human qualities to a wild animal.”
If a seal pup looks sick, she advises visitors to tell park staff or call the West Coast Marine Stranding Network at 1-866-767-6114.
Lantz reminds visitors that it is illegal to disturb marine mammals, which means staying at least 50 yards away. Northern elephant seals are a federally protected species.
Even from 50 yards away with closures in effect, park staff predict enthusiasm for the pup.
“It's going to be hard to reduce the excitement,” said Parks Interpreter Joy Kacoroski. “We're expecting crowds this weekend.”

Speaking exclusively to GiveMeSport, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bring Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland to Old Trafford this summer.
As a result, the 20-year-old is now being linked with a big-money move in the upcoming transfer window, with a host of European giants all said to be interested in his services. And, according to Romano, Manchester United could be one club firmly in the running.
Do you think Manchester United will sign Haaland?
No, we won't get him
Yes, we could
In an exclusive interview, the journalist told GMS:
“Let’s see what happens with Manchester United. For sure, Solskjaer wants him, but it’s not easy to sign him this summer because the release clause is valid from the next one, so you have to deal with Borussia Dortmund and to negotiate with Borussia Dortmund won’t be easy.”
Haaland’s release clause, set at €75m (£64m), becomes active in the summer of 2022 and could spark a real transfer scramble if the Norway international does not leave Dortmund before then.
Next up for Haaland and Dortmund is Eintracht Frankfurt before they take on Manchester United’s rivals Manchester City in the Champions League.

Thursday was hotter than yesterday, and Friday could be hotter still. By the end of Thursdaym we should see a number of records or near-record-breaking temperatures around the county as coastal highs rise into the 80s and valley temps top 100 for the second day in a row.
El Cajon, Ramona, Alpine and the Wild Animal Park all hit 100-plus on Wednesday. They were hotter than that Thursday, with a number of other spots hitting triple digits before noon, including Rancho Penequitos, Otay Mesa's Brown Field, Miramar MCAS, Rancho Bernardo and La Mesa. There are others that are in the high 90s and will unquestionably finish the day above the century mark.
Yes, of course the deserts are also in the 100s -- that goes without saying. In fact, Borrego Springs climbed to 109 Wednesday and is expected to top out around 115 on Friday.
The heat wave is unwelcome by just about anyone not sitting on the sand at the beach or in the water nearby. Until now it has been a relatively mild August, but now the heat is on and firefighters are on alert, gearing up, increasing staffing just in case. Wildfires are already burning north of Los Angeles, and, while we're not getting the winds we do during a bad Santa Ana event, the high heat, low humidity and abundant, dry fuel all combine to give us a high potential for the same happening here.
If you’re in the North County or driving down Interstate-5 today, you might smell some residual smoke from fires burning on Camp Pendleton.
Some of our firefighting resources are heading north to help out with fires. Two crews left Wednesday night for a new fire burning in Monterey, and five additional engines left Thursday morning for a fire burning in the Angeles National Forest.
Thanks to low pressure moving down the coast, we should see at least a little relief over the weekend, with temperatures dropping a couple of degrees on both Saturday and Sunday. Even so high temperatures will still be above normal for the last weekend of August.

Garr M. “Mike” King JD ’63
Garr M. “Mike” King JD ’63, February 5, 2019, age 83.
Mike was born January 28, 1936, in Pocatello, Idaho, to Warren and Geraldine (Hanlon) King. His family moved to Salt Lake City when he was an infant. Following high school, he served in the Marine Corps from 1954 to 1957, attaining the rank of sergeant. Mike married Mary Jo after he completed his service, and they moved to Portland, Mary Jo’s hometown, in 1959.
Following law school, Mike was recruited by George Van Hoomissen, a newly elected Multnomah County district attorney, to be one of roughly 15 lawyers in that office. Among his colleagues were Jacob Tanzer and George Joseph. Van Hoomissen and Tanzer would go on to sit on the Oregon Supreme Court, and Joseph would become the chief judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals.
Mike became an associate at the Portland firm of Morrison and Bailey in 1966, focused on legal defense of insurance companies. He and Jack L. Kennedy, another Lewis & Clark Law School alumnus, then formed a law partnership in 1973. Among Mike’s clients was Owen Panner, one of several lawyers who were sued when the Washington Public Power Supply System defaulted on its bonds in 1983. It was the largest such default up to that time; bondholders eventually recovered about 40 percent of their money, but none of the lawyers ended up paying personally. Panner would go on to become a U.S. District Court judge.
Following service on the judicial conference for the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Mike was nominated in 1998 by President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the Senate as a U.S. District Court judge in Oregon. He replaced Judge Helen Frye.
Among the famous cases Mike presided over were Capital Consultants in 2000, involving massive losses that eventually forced a takeover by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; a 2002 lawsuit alleging that retail giant WalMart had failed to properly compensate Oregon employees forced to work overtime; and the 2008 lawsuit filed by Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation of Oregon against the U.S. Treasury Department for freezing its assets after listing the charity as a “specially designated global terrorist organization” in 2004. He also served as a senior judge for the trial of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a Somali-American student arrested by the FBI in a 2010 sting, after he tried to set off what he thought was a bomb at a tree-lighting ceremony at Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Mike took senior status in January 2009. He was succeeded by Marco Hernandez, formerly a Washington County circuit judge. In a 2010 interview recorded by the U.S. District Court of Oregon Historical Society, Mike had this to say about his colleagues: “My experience has been that judges don’t really vote on the basis of whether they’re Republicans or Democrats or liberal or conservative. I think they do a very good job of trying to do what is legally correct…be looking for people who are good lawyers who know the law, have an appropriate judicial disposition and then put them on the bench and let them decide cases.”
Mike is survived his wife; children Mary Beth Powell, Meg Conant, Mike King, Matt King, Jim King, and John King; siblings Patrick King, Kathleen McPolin, Shannon Myrin, Timothy King, Calleen Letaconnoux, and Terry King; and 13 grandchildren. A son, David, preceded him in death.

I just returned from seeing this film at a preview/test screening.
This film was much better than I had expected. The story brings to mind movies such as Mad Hot Ballroom or Dangerous Minds, but is different enough that it is able to stand on its own.
Overall I thought the acting was well done. The dancing was great (both the hip hop dancing and the ballroom). And while I am not a huge Antonio Banderas fan, I thought he was excellent, and I really liked him. He was able to be the star of the movie, but not the center of attention at all times. He looked good and seemed to provide a different element to what could have been the same old "help the inner city kids find hope" story.
The script and dialogue had nothing too cheesy or corny, which is usually found in "feel good" films, or movies about highschool students. There are plenty of funny parts, as well as enough drama and interesting character conflicts to keep everything interesting.
My only complaint was that the ending didn't seem to wrap up everything
there were some back story lines and issues that weren't resolved.
But a few unanswered questions can sometimes be better than a cheesy, unbelievable ending where suddenly all is right in the world. I'll be curious to see if they make any changes before it is released in theatres.
I give it an 8 out of 10, because I was genuinely entertained.
