Obsessed
Obsessed (2009)

IMDB rating: 3.80

Plot: A successful asset manager, who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage. But a temp worker starts stalking him, all the things he’s worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy.

Directors: Steve Shill

Actors: Elba Idris,McGill Bruce,Rogge Ron,Humphreys Matthew,Johnson Derek,Joyner Paul,Ketsios George,Munoz Antonio,O’Connell Jerry,Rowland Jon,Ruccolo Richard,Drama,Thriller,

Is this person mad, eccentic, or do they have a disorder; they are obsessed with animals, not in a practical?
caring way so they may help them, like a vet, but they follow them guessing what they’re saying to each other, talking about them frantically and excitedly, pointing and reporting on their movement, even walking out into a busy road to follow them, oblivious to their surroundings. When the person watches an animal rescue programme they wave and say hello to the animals on tv. Basically they are way over the top. They also have a very overactive imagination, they believe in fairies and have their 11 year old child still believing in Santa, leaving him open to teasing at school.
Could this be a form of Autism?


Hmm…Tis certainly eccentric and they are taking it a bit far. I don’t think it’s a sign of Autism though, I think that would have been picked up on a long time ago.

I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it yourself, I think in their state you can’t do anything to make it change.

It could be, but it could also be gangaism. Does the person smoke pot? Sounds like it! Maybe they are just wildly imaginative and prefer to view the world this way. It’s no less realistic than someone who is constantly morose and obsessed with death and destruction.

Different strokes for different folks, but hell, if they’re walking out into a busy road they are probably off!

Animals deserve attention a lot more than humans.
This thought came to me when i tried to classify your species and i realized your not actually mammals, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you move to an area and you multiply and multiple until every natural resource is consumed, the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism that follows the same pattern, do you know what it is?
A virus, human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.

People with Autism do empathize with animals, case in point Temple Brandon. However they can also express themselves in ways garnered from their childhood books or memories i.e. fairies. There are common presenting symptoms between Autism and schizophrenia. Interacting with objects or people that are not there as an adult with no learning disabilities would seem to be an hallucination and delusion and would seem to indicate schizophrenia.

Kingdom, The
Kingdom, The (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.30

Plot: When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing. Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol-and with the clock ticking on their five days-the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts, who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms. Fleury’s crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Colonel Al-Ghazi, who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist cell bent on further destruction. With these unlikely allies sharing a propulsive commitment to crack the case, the team is led to the killer’s front door in a blistering do-or-die confrontation. Now in a fight for their own lives, strangers united by one mission won’t stop until justice is found in The Kingdom.

I have great news to all Saudis?
I’m so proud to be a Saudi , Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was recorded to be the country with the "least" rape rates in the world, out of 65 countries, we are #65 … and it’s only 65 because 90% of Africa is not on the list among other troubled countries…

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_ra p_percap-crime-rapes-per-capita

So, anyone who asks how safe KSA is, just give him or her this link :P

God I love this country :D
LOOOL @Gamar, Maybe because your country is among the troubled countries with extreme high rates, Just kidding :P
Thanks ya Gamar


My country of origin is not even on the list ,yeeey we are better then you looool

Im just joking, Im glad to hear that, if is relevant info. Thanx for sharing
gamar_xx | Feb 01, 2010


I am glad for you. But - to be fair you have to admit that many rape cases in Islamic countries don’t get reported. How many women maybe don’t report being raped because she might get punished for adultery? Do you think that a raped maid has the possibility to file a case against a Saudi citizen?
Almost the same here in the UAE (that’s maybe why we are even not on the list:))

You also may not forget that some of the mentioned countries consider also forced sex in a marriage as rape. This isn’t the case in Saudi either.

As much as you love your country, you still should be aware of non reported incidents instead of turning a blind eye on them.

Take care.

Chicago
Chicago (2002)

IMDB rating: 7.30

Plot: Fame hungry Roxie Hart dreams of a life on the Vaudville stage, and spends her nights jazzing it up in the bright lights of Chicago, continually hoping that she’ll find her lucky break, and be shot into 1920’s stardom, so able to flee her boring husband Amos. In awe of seductive club singer Velma Kelly (who is subsequantly arrested for the murder of her husband and sister - after discovering their affair), Roxie meets Fred Cassely a man who convinces her he can ‘make her showbiz career take off’. However after Roxie has undergone the ‘casting couch’ treatment, and Fred has had his wicked way with her, he reveals that he has no more connections in showbusiness than she does. This is the final straw for Roxie, and her constant anger at rejection explodes. She shoots Fred Cassely and kills him. Upon discovering her infidelity, Roxie’s husband Amos refuses to take the blame for the murder and Roxie is sent to jail, pending hanging. In jail she finally meets tabloid darling Velma Kelly, currently receiving huge media attention for the double murder she committed earlier in the tale. Sharing the clink with Velma, are a collection of other sly females, all awaiting trial for the murders of their own partners. Velma is aloof to Roxie, however the prison Warden Mrs Morton offers Roxie the opportunity of representation by slick Chicago lawyer Billy Flynn. Billy is more a showbiz P. R agent than a legal lawyer and minipulates the tabloids into thinking Roxie is no more than an innocent ‘good time girl’ who took the wrong path, than a scheming murderess. The tabloids go crazy for the new girl on the cell block, and Roxie finally becomes a star. However due to Roxie’s new found fame, Velma is forgotten about. She is forced to approach Roxie with an offer of a part in her Vaudville act (filling the gap left by her murdered sister), but Roxie turns down her offer flat, thinking she needs no support in topping the bill. However, just as Velma’s star fell, so does Roxie’s, when Go-to-hell Kitty arrives at the jail on a multiple murder charge, the press forget Roxie and now she and Velma are in the same boat. With one more trick up her sleave Roxie manages to bring the media attention back onto her, and her day in court arrives. Billy is now ready to play the ultimate showman!

How long does an item stay at a postal "unit"?
Hello,

I sent international mail to a small town by Chicago, IL. It?s nothing more than a book in a slightly bigger envelope (like for unfolded sheets of paper). Tracking on the USPS website tells me "Arrival at unit" last thursday, 28 January, in the very same town the recipient lives in. Now said recipient hasn?t received it yet. Is it usual for USPS to keep a simple letter/package in a PO for 4 days without delivering it? Has anybody made similar experiences?

Thank you.

How to Make an American Quilt (1995)

IMDB rating: 5.70

How do I finish my quilt?
I’m making my aunt a quilt this christmas. It looks lovely so far; I’ve used Cath Kidston fabrics as well as some red and light blue gingham and dark purple stuff! I’ve sewn all of the squares now and it’s really starting to come together! Yay!
I sort of know how to add the wadding (or batting if you’re american). But how do you get the wadding to stay in place inside the quilt? The wadding I bought looks as though you can iron it on, but I’m not taking chances! What do I do?


Are you talking about getting it to stay there permanently, or just while you do the quilting? (Quilting, by the way, isn’t the part where you sew all the squares together. That part is called patchwork. Quilting is the part where you sew through all the layers–patchwork, batting, and bottom layer–to make them stay together.)

If you need to hold it in place temporarily, there are several different ways. You can use a spray-on adhesive designed for quilting. Or you can pin the batting in place. (If you pin it, look in the quilting notions department for special curved safety pins that will let all the layers lie flat together after they’re pinned.) You can also baste the layers together with a needle and thread.

Of course, to keep it in place permanently, you need to quilt it either by hand or machine. You can also tie it in place with bits of yarn every four inches apart or so.

A good quilting book will explain this better than I can, as well as provide lots of pictures and specific details. Check your local quilting shop, bookstore, or library.

All of the quilt battings I know have information on them of how far apart rows of quilting stitches can be. I’m going to guess you’ve got an unfaced cotton batt (which probably needs to be preshrunk — check!) and needs to be quilted or tied every 3" or so.

Here are some other battings: http://quilting.suite101.com/article.cfm /guide_to_quilt_batting
http://www.quilt.com/FAQS/BattingFAQ.htm l

There are a couple of ways to put a quilt together… for quickie quilts, especially small ones, "birthing" is the fast way: http://www.hgtv.com/crafting/ask-alex-bi rthing-a-quilt/index.html — once you get the quilt turned right side out and the opening sewn up, then you can quilt or tie the whole quilt.

The other method is more traditional and better for big quilts… you lay out the backing, put the batting over that, and the quilt top on top of that. Then you baste (with thread, safety pins or spray glue) the three layers together, quilt or tie, then even up the edges and bind.

If you go to this site you will be talked through the finishing stage

The quilt top isn’t really a quilt until it’s sandwiched with batting and backing, quilted or tied, and bound around the edges. Use these quiltmaking tutorials to finish the quilt.

So is anyone a fan of Highlander?
So basically the only movie I really liked was the original. But it was so finite that none of the sequels make sense. How is it that in Endgame, all of those immortals were able to be beheaded on holy ground? Isn’t that against the rules?


I havent seen that yet but there is an recent animated movie out there that was pretty good.
cant find it though :( josephine | Dec 13, 2009


The first movie was good, the rest sucked. It’s probably better to pretend the sequels don’t exist. Highlander the series was good too if you need a little Highlander fix.

I just saw it and no, it’s not really good. As a matter of fact I stopped paying attention when they revealed who the murderer was. I just didn’t care. Love the main character though. She’s a good actress.

Plot: This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem as Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss “by which all others will be measured”. Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the “lowmen”, who were seeking him. The two share a summer’s adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully (Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone.

How do I keep my desk chair from squeaking when rocking?
I got a really nice leather office chair for my house, but within a few weeks, it started squeaking when rocking. This has happened to me with all my other desk chairs with the rocking function. The squeak seems to be coming from the spring that allows the chair to rock (the one you tighten or loosen, depending on how you like it), but the spring is entirely covered by the plastic knob used to tighten it. Since it’s covered, I can’t really get to it with WD40, even when using that straw thing it comes with. I’m not overloading the chair, since I only weigh 170 lbs, so I’m not quite sure what to do about the squeak. Any suggestions?


if you back the plastic knob out all the way to the point it comes off you can use the straw and give it a couple squirts

or you can remove the four bolts in the base of the chair and seat frame remove the seat and back as one unit the spring will be completely open to viewing and you can squirt it then

If you’ve already tried WD40, then I’d suggest giving graphite a try. It’s very good when you’re dealing with metal-on-metal.

Need help, math question?
Veronica attends a prestigious university and is enrolled in a four-year program. She is expected to pay $20,000 in tuition fees per year, which will be paid off in 8 years. In addition, she has to pay a 2% interest rate for the 8 years. What will be the total amount for her education?


At year 8 she will owe, where 1+i=1.02 is the interest rate per year:

20000(1+i)^8 + 20000(1+i)^7 + 20000(1+i)^6 + 20000(1+i)^5 = 91,011.76
