While away on a trip he told his Italian driver, Giuseppe, to tell his friend Norman to keep an eye on her, or take care of her.

Claude tells him that it’s ok but the man Norman hired gives him his report and it says something happened while he was away. Claude, of course, tells him to throw it away but after Norman leaves, Claude tries to retrieve it and tries to read it but Daniella’s there, when Giuseppe destoys it, he goes to the man Norman hired to get a copy. He tells Claude that a man went into his apartment while he was away and left at an unusual hour, and that he also has a video. Claude tells him to destroy it but shortly after leaving returns so that he can watch it. Now the video’s a little fuzzy but clearly he can see that the man wears a particular type of clothing. Claude goes around checking every man he knows to see if they wear that clothing. He discovers that Max, his protege and a ladies man wears it. After confronting Daniella, she is harboring a secret but not what Claude thinks it is, so when she tells Claude that it’s no big thing, Claude freaks out, and is planning to kill her and frame Max but an unforeseen circumstance disrupts the perfect plan he dreamed up.

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: John Marion Stryker is the ultimate Marine, a tough rifle squad leader who in 1943 is assigned a squad of new recruits saddled with three veterans and an old enemy of Stryker’s from previous duties in the Far East. One recruit in particlar is a source of friction with Stryker, Peter Conway, whose father was Stryker’s CO at Guadalcanal and who felt his son was too soft and cowardly to be a Marine. The squad grows more and more resentful at Stryker’s increasingly brutal training regimen and his lack of sympathy for the varied personal problems of the recruits, but his determination to mold them into fighting men helps save their lives when the squad is landed at Tarawa in November 1943 and Stryker risks his life to blow up a Japanese bunker that has slaughtered Marines trapped at a log wall. The now battle-tested squad becomes more closely-knit and Stryker’s relationship with the men warms as the squad eventually finds itself in the bloodiest island battle of the war, at Iwo Jima.

As much as I love John Wayne, I’m shocked I haven’t seen any more of his movies than I have.

Yeah, he played the same role over and over (with a few notable exceptions, primarily The Searchers). But, his movies were still very enjoyable. Not deep, but fun.

i had a dream about kissing synyster gates….?
So i had this crazy vivid dream last night, i was wondering if you couold help me with it?

I dreamed i was riding along on a horse with this guy Mark – i was on a tour with a big group of people group and he was on it. We didnt really talk much but when we did he was always nice to me (oh hes like 15 years older than me), i was sitting behind and we werew going along kinda fast. Next thing you know i see all these people standing around cheering and i see synyster gates cheering me on. So i reach over and he gives me a high five and i yell i love you. Then i continue hanging out with Mark for the rest of the night and we arwent out drinking after that. We are both tipsy and i say ‘mark’ and hes like ‘i love it when you call me that sexy’. From there my dream seems to flash to a church where i am sitting inbetween his legs and everyone is one the ground watching a movie. We start making out for a bit then stop, cause Synyster comes over. We start talking and get along really well, then we start making out (while mark is still there and watching), the thing is he was a realy bad kisser – i was expecting it to be amazing haha. After a litle while Mark and i leave together.

The thing is i love Zacky Vengeance – hes my favourite so i dont understand why Synyster.

Any thoughts? I know its a super crazy dream but i never remember them so for me to remember this on in the first place is amazing!!

Thanks :)
Oh for those of you who dont know they are 2 people from the band Avenged Sevenfold

Is it okay to buy an eight year old grand theft auto?
My son is turning eight in about three weeks. He’s been BEGGING me for the Grand Theft Auto video game, and I am not sure if I should buy it for him. I’ve heard from other parents that the game contains quite a bit of sexual content, which is just completely inappropriate for children and it’s just astounding that other kid’s parents are letting them play games that sexual. However, I have heard that the San Andreas version of Grand Theft Auto has very little sexual content. Would this game be appropriate for an eight year old?
Some other games that he plays are Resident Evil 4, God of War, NARC, Killer 7, The Warriors, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, Crime Life: Gang Wars, Condemned: Criminal Originals, True Crime: New York City, Death Squad, The Punisher, Hitman: Blood Money, and Murder Rampage 4: San Diego Thrill.


I’m hoping this is a troll.. sexual content is off limits but graphic violence is ok? Please be a troll, please. Eight year olds shouldn’t even know what those games are.

| Jan 07, 2010


yes
obvious troll | Jan 07, 2010


i am 22, i have 14 brothers and sisters, my opinion is NO. I have played all of them as have most of my siblings, in my personal opinion it is not a wise decision to buy it quite yet.
omega | Jan 07, 2010


yes its an 18 but buy it him anyway
ThE ANgRy NoOb >=D | Jan 07, 2010


HAHAHAHA Id buy it for him :D GTA OWNS!
Andy | Jan 07, 2010


I would normally say no, but seeing the list of stuff he’s already played I’d say go for it..
robotkirby | Jan 07, 2010


It is fine. Other appropriate gifts would be the "Faces of Death" movie series, the complete musical collection of N.W.A., and a Rottweiler.

I would also give him the business card of the best parole officer in the area. He will need it in the future.
fitchburg posse 2 | Jan 07, 2010


the san andreas version does not have much sexual content at all and certainly nothing so explicit it would be so innapporiate for an 8 year old. It is more violent than sexual and looking at the games he already plays it is no more violent than them. I would say its absolutely fine. Good luck x
Daisy S | Jan 07, 2010


Hell yeah. My brother is 7 and we play it. Also i have a younger cousin that plays Mature games. If you do buy it don’t have him go to the store with you. My firend went with his grandma to get it and and the guy said you can’t buy this for him. He is under 17.
willdude | Jan 07, 2010


All of the games you just listed are bad for a child. The main character of GTA4 does alot of cussing. He pretty much says the F word every 10 minutes. And actually GTA San Andreas is probably more violent because the game for the PC had a secret mini game where you could visibly see yourself having sex with your girlfriend.

In both games: Alchohol, Drugs, Prostitution, Stealing, Guns, Cussing, Partial Nudity (Full Nudity in the expansion Ballad of Gay Tony for GTA4)

So in conclusion. No, don’t buy him Grand Theft Auto. The only M rated game that children should play is Halo 3 probably
Michael G | Jan 07, 2010


well i was going to say that yeah it highly inappropriate but since you let you son play those games then its okay. god of war has a lot of nudity and so does True Crime: New York City,Hitman: Blood Money,50 Cent: Bulletproof. gta4 is bad and so is san andreas.

halo 3 is okay most of the time unless you dont like voilence at all beacuse you can turn off blood and gore and even cussing. no nudity at in it.
a_pratte | Jan 07, 2010


Considering that he played all those other games, the sexual content is nothing, so buy it. And the sexual content of GTA San Andreas is almost 0(exept a hard to find part)

Edit: It isan’t okay to buy an eight year old grand theft auto but it is okay to buy your kid that game since he played all the others which if you ask me are worse then GTA.
ROCKY | Jan 07, 2010


if you’vee let him play ALL those other games that are rated FAR above his age it seemsyou’veve already made your mind up
littlesammop | Jan 07, 2010


I think it’s fine to get him a GTA game. Some of those games already contain sexual content. GTA San Andreas has little sexual content, no more than the other games. GTA 4 has more sexual content than San Andreas but it doesn’t really have nudity. God of War probably has more nudity than GTA 4. There is a lot of cussing in both GTA games but most of the games he already plays has a lot of cussing. Considering your son already plays games similar to GTA I say it is okay to buy it for him.
alex138 | Jan 07, 2010


first of all i suggest for you to keep those games away for him and not buy gta since it already has lots of violence for an eight year old and can effect him by going crazy and saying vulgar language when he’s mad at you or somebody else

i have a mummy sleeping bag which seems to be much bigger than the bag it came in and am going on my year 8 camp on the 14th of july so i need answers as soon as possible


Ooooh, i know how it goes… you just squeeze the air out of it and tighten it as much as you can, might take a couple shots. I had a backpack cover that was small and I finally managed to squeeze it in there.! jus tkeep trying, look at the instructions. if it came w/ it.

Light, very stable bag with valve and seal Lipp closure. Ideally, if the available storage space must be fully exploited, such as on boats, on a motorbike or bicycle. Ideal for soft equipment such as clothes and sleeping bag. The valve can be opened at the Curl Packsacks excess air out of the bag herausgepresst. So there is no wasted space or volume of waste transported. To empty the bag first sealing lip and valve open, then, for example, sleeping bag easily pull out.

Is it possible to be a Buddhist and also a hardcore skeptic/scientist? If so, are they a tiny minority?
When I say "hardcore skeptic/scientist", I mean that the person believes in nothing paranormal whatsoever; only what can be learned through science and logic. Therefore, such a person would not be able to believe in such fundamental Buddhist principles as reincarnation, and would have no "spiritual" inclinations at all.

Are some Buddhists like this? If so, are they a very tiny minority of all Buddhists, or are they common?

Thanks!


Yes, absolutely – it’s how I’d describe myself, too. In fact, I was at an earlier stage quite into some of the weird & wonderful stuff I came in contact with at university (crystals, healing, etc etc) but the more I’ve practiced Zen the more I’ve grown out of that. I now describe myself – when I have to – as a ‘transcendent materialist’ – the materialist aspect of that is quite literal!

Also, check out Sue Blackmore’s stuff – she’s an ex-paranormal researcher who’s into Zen practice (but not ‘Buddhism’ – see her site for more) who decided after some years doing paranormal research that nothing of the sort actually really existed. Quite a brave volte face I’ve always thought.

As to how common Buddhists like this are… certainly more common in the West than in the traditional Buddhist countries! And as another answer suggests, more common in Zen than other forms of Buddhism, some of which require a literal belief in rebirth.

Ultimately, though, as my teacher said in an unrelated matter the other day, pinning yourself down as a firm believer or disbeliever is something that creates an attachment to a certain identity, and as the Buddha used to say, "Attachment causes suffering and that’s sort of what we’re here to end". Perhaps not a word-for-word quote. So while I’m not saying you should change your mind about what’s real, perhaps part of what you’ve got to do is change your mind about what that means for how you perceive yourself.

Or maybe I’m just projecting 100% :-)

Taisen | May 26, 2009


You are a Zen Buddhist. Yes, they are a tiny minority.
Vampires are not real | May 23, 2009


I was wondering the other day about whether there are any Buddhist cognitive scientists. I’m gonna star your question.
Stevie G: anomia | May 23, 2009


No, that’s just silly. Why would you want to be a part of Buddhism when the whole goal of it is spiritual enlightenment, and you’re rejecting anything spiritual? That’s like an atheist saying they want to be a Christian.

I don’t think there’s any Buddhists like that.
Jack | May 23, 2009


I believe so. The teachings of the Buddha were meant as a way of life, and had no creator gods. Some people could view the whole "tempted by demons" part as a metaphor crafted by the Buddha for his time period. I think that it’s a guide to a better life that is independent of your beliefs. I followed Buddha’s teachings for a while without having to change my own personal beliefs. It’s no biggie.

I wouldn’t say it’s such a small minority. Think of the major cultural diffusion between the East and West and all those parallel principles society runs on and you’ll see people of all backgrounds integrating Buddhist ideas into every day life.

pornsakorn | May 23, 2009


To be a true Buddhist you would have to believe in the supernatural aspects, Karma, Enlightenment, liberation from Samsara. That doesn’t mean you can’t pattern your life after the 4 noble truths and live according to Buddhist ethics. That would be along the lines of believing Christ was a great man and following his example but not acknowledging his divinity. In either case you would live a ‘good’ life but you could not conscientiously call yourself Buddhist or Christian.
GGG | May 23, 2009


Greetings,

I am both a Buddhist practitioner and a physics teacher (and a former research scientist at NASA), so yes, it is possible for a person to be both Buddhist and a scientist.

However, I disagree with your statement that someone who is a scientist would not believe in principles such as rebirth. If you ask me, that’s a totally natural process, as when the body breaks down into parts, the things that made up your body go into other systems. There is no doctrine in Buddhism that says that rebirth is confined to one body after death (i.e., transfer of some "one" soul to "one" other body – that would be quite against the teachings).

It’s important to understand that science and religion are two separate things, and do not aim to prove or disprove the other. Quite the contrary, it is my firm belief that both are extremely beneficial. For instance, religion provides us with fantastic groundwork of what it is to be human. These frameworks should help us decide how we proceed with development. As Kurt Vonnegut tells in many of his books, he used to believe science would be the savior for mankind, up until he was 21 and Hiroshima was destroyed with scientific achievement.

Being a Buddhist, in my opinion, is about being a skeptic – a constructive skeptic, not a pessimist skeptic. We should understand things for ourselves, because that striving for understanding is what makes us a more rounded, compassionate, and relate-able human being.

I hope this helped. Take care.
jed s | May 23, 2009


I think you should be a hardcore scientist.

Suspend belief until you know.

Be willing to experiment, though. : )

Directors: Daves Delmer

Actors: Fonda Henry,MacArthur James,Crisp Donald,Cox Wally,Bissell Whit,Rorke Hayden,Taylor Dub,Mayer Ken,Comedy,Drama,

There was a show called Waltons Mountains back in the 70's. Who owns the mountain today?
It was based on Earl Hamners life. He created a book called Spencers Mountain. I was wondering who owned the montain today and is that house still there?


There is the Hamner Museum now. Check http://www.virginiawind.com/virginia_tra vel/waltons_mountain.asp

Apparently the original "Walton" house was to be auctioned off by the last of the family to live there in 2003, and it is a private residence (across the street from the museum). http://www.readthehook.com/Stories/2003/ 11/13/newsGoingGoingHamnerHomePl.html

There is the Walton’s Mountain Historical Society http://users.galesburg.net/atkins/wplace s.html if you want to check for more information.

This doesn’t actually tell you who owns the mountain, but apparently a part is owned privately (the last bit of acreage owned by a member of the Hamner family), a part is owned by the historical society and the museum, and then there are things like a lodge, etc. I would assume that means that little by little pieces were sold off by the family until, finally, the last piece went.

BTW: The house you saw in the series, was not the real house. However, from what I’ve read, it was a relatively good facsimile of the original. The house was still there when the last of the family lived there. Whether any new owner has kept the house or not, I’m not sure. http://www.the-waltons.com/home.html

| Dec 20, 2007


The show was "The Waltons" and the location was only a filming location, not the mountain Hamner wrote about.
