Oh Yeah on Longmire on Netflix.. truly, vistas of the West. I got a bit off when they had the inside the prison series of episodes. There is easy engagement there.. Anything else I might have missed?
I did find a library copy of Akira Kurosawa's film The Dream... to re view for its relationship to Scorsese 's making of Silence. This edition came with a booklet that helped to 'decode' the film just a bit. Subtitles don't distract much but those can be dropped out too.
Many years ago, I used to sit on a library tub stool and pull book after book off the shelf and just do visual feasts down in the basement of the art library. Sigh... So much now seems to be transfers of graphic novels/comics or video games to film. | 4 | More and more television - especially cable, satellite and streaming, has cinematic qualities.

Maybe someone in first class who paid full fare as opposed to someone who was upgraded. But then again, first class paying customers won't be bumped no matter what the situation.

As for research, bring it on. My experience is there is too little value-added research available in the market at a price point that works for individual investors.

We must not be subordinate to the decision of the woman at the heart of the abortion matter. We have to be submissive to God's Will and not man's will (desires). At the end of the day, we go to bed, close our eyes and with the help of our Lord God and not the help of man, we are grateful to wake up and face the next day. At the end of our temporary lives here on earth, we have to face God and not man. It is God's mercy we seek when we leave this world and not man's. Remember the devil refused to be submissive to God. For this he lost eternal life. Let us seek that what is good and pleases our Father in Heaven and not that what pleases mankind, especially when mankind, like the devil refuses to serve God but chooses rather to serve his own desires. Don't forget why Jesus was born and why He died. To save us from our sins and free us from the chains that keep us imprisoned to our sinful natures. We need humble and contrite hearts and to repent from sin. | 4 | Hi, Neko. My take, which I've stated here before, is that abortion is an extremely personal issue that, by it's nature, can never be settled by either legislation or litigation. And it certainly hasn't been settled by 43 years of single-issue voting.
But those same 43 years have driven a bigger wedge between people of goodwill who disagree about the issue, destroyed the credibility of the Catholic Church as honest political brokers, and laid the groundwork for the further polarization of the body politic. No progress made but plenty of damage done.
At the end of the day, what any one of us believes about when life begins or when it deserves legal protection must be subordinate to the decision of the woman at the heart of the matter. I can see no other conclusion. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45571747, 45438070, 45449332, 45278775, 45394200] |

The one lawsuit that resulted in the courts stopping construction which was filed by paulette kaleikini, wasn't done to stop rail. It was filed because the city didn't follow the law. All delays we're fault of the city and HART. Awarding contracts early and not following state law. So I ask again, how did the "antis" delay anything connected to rail? | 4 | That is not accurate. It was always said 3.7 billion in today dollars (back in 2005), and was clarified that with projected year of expenditure adjustment it was 5.3 billion. yes it has gone hideously over budget in large part due to the delays that it encountered thanks to the antis. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45505902, 45536973, 45485526, 45397010, 45505732] |

As will my predictions on the long term damage it will do. A person who smokes dope has no problem using coke and other drugs as well. People try to compare all the damage alcohol has done and claim pot won't do that--as though people will pick one or the other. Go to any party and people are using both at the same time, in addition to coke and other drugs.

5,203,316 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | A "anti-drone" machine or "electric type gun" has been developed and is now in use by our military and our "allies" in the Middle East. It is being used to combat the drones used by ISIS and Al Quida to drop grenades and small IED type devices on U.S. troops and on civilians in certain areas. It does something that jams the drone's motors and causes them to either crash or be returned to the "sender". I guess in many parts of Alaska if a drone was invading someone's privacy, a "Alaskan Ray gun, aka shotgun, would be employed to take out the drone.
I do see and think of the many good things that drones can be used for.
Dangerous search and rescue areas, situations where law enforcement and the public might be at risk due to a dangerous person/s with weapons (such as hostage situations, robberies, kidnappings).
It most certainly can be used as a cost cutting measure for a number of things. | 4 | We do need extremely tight rules to protect privacy on private property. A friend was telling me that she was in her bedroom folding clothes when a recreational drone with camera paused right outside her second story window up in the hills outside of Fairbanks. By the time she got downstairs and outside, she couldn't figure out where it went, but that sort of nonsense should result in some stiff penalties. Unfortunately, it's so incredibly easy to do and as my friend is discovering, it's impossible to track who just (possibly) viewed you naked in your bedroom on a second story on a wooded lot where neighbors' homes have no sight line ... the very place you should have an expectation of privacy. It just gets worse from there and soon privacy will be this vaguely remembered old-fashioned concept.
And, yeah, it could be used as a fascist tool. The government has already shown itself to have no respect for our private communications, so why wouldn't they use drones to spy on us? | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0] | [45536973, 45498710, 45465124, 45445022, 45588938] |

The 9th Circuit's understanding of Alaska issues dwarfs that of certain commenters on this site, maybe because those judges pay attention to the notion of "the greater good" and concern for the future. Learn from history. Remember when millions of buffalo roamed our Great Plains only to be hunted to near extinction. Wise and forward looking humans took the requisite steps to keep that from happening. Polar bears are Alaska's buffalo. | 4 | yNT: Agree. It is time for some changes in the ninth circuit US court of Appeals.

5,203,472 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | As we discussed, Natalie, the two statements are not at odds in any way. The project is expected to cost $8.2 billion, with financing costs uncertain but likely to bring the total to $9.5-$10 billion. HART has only $6.8 billion from the GET and the feds. The only difference between the two statements is that I broke the sentence into two and added the $6.8 billion figure. | 4 | Current – “GET and federal funding adds up to only $6.8 billion, leaving a gap of some $3 billion.”
Prior – “The project is now expected to cost $8.2 billion, but with financing costs that could go as high as $10 billion, leaving a gap approaching $3 billion.”

Um, hello?
The politician in question later said "“I wish to retract that description and apologize for it" and he said it was a "mistake" to say what he said in the first place.
So, um, Dunny, h-e-l-l-o?
Look, if his term of "architect" was oh-so fitting, why then did he run away from it and retract it and apologize for it and say it was mistake?
Your post makes ZERO sense. None. | 4 | "Architect" is a pretty vague term in this context; the remarks by brigadier Fraser make it clear that he played a vital role in the planning and execution of the operation, and did so at significant personal risk. Until I read those remarks, I was prepared to roundly denounce Sajjan as yet another liar, but perhaps the descriptor "architect" is not altogether inappropriate. What bothers me more is the sense of his boasting about his role -- as in, smart people don't run around announcing they're smart, kind people don't run around announcing their kind, and heroic people don't run around announcing their heroism.
