Most of the election so far has proven to be a referendum on whether we could endure having John Howard back. Not a referendum, as such, on his achievements, such as they are, because we take them mostly for granted. Nor on his malfeasances. Aside from some general innuendo about his being a liar, no-one seems to care ... |
It’s not that anyone much, even most Liberals, could summon great enthusiasm for Howard. He has again allowed himself, reluctantly, to be painted into a corner, promising to stay forever, knowing that Peter Costello seems hardly capable of attracting a single vote. Or that many believe that Labor equals fiscal instabil... |
Howard could hardly be accused of campaigning on his principles, or on his convictions. He has both, but not much of an agenda with either. Everything he is campaigning with is focused at holding the line. Spend whatever seems necessary to neutralise Medicare as an issue. Do whatever seems necessary to prop up pesky se... |
That’s not to say that Howard will win. Despite what the bookmakers seem to think, the odds still favour Labor, if only because the Howard Government seems to have run its course. Mark Latham has, in technical terms, performed fairly well, maintaining discipline and focus, and dealing reasonably professionally with mos... |
Some of this is deliberate, of course. Whatever Latham promised about being himself, on being elected leader of the Opposition, he has been persuaded that he cannot appear to be the lightning rod or the withering tongue. He is perpetually closeted with advisers and people helping him prepare lines: the same people who ... |
If there are major differences with the Coalition over what were once core Labor values—looking after the disadvantaged, the poor, the helpless, and the people who are never given a chance—no-one would know it from anything that Mark Latham says. We hear next to nothing about from Labor about Aborigines, migrants, refu... |
The stripped-down third-way Labor ‘movement’ may lack some working parts. To many (Mark Latham in particular), it sounds awfully priggish and selfish. This stance enables Labor to compete only for the accolade of being better technical managers of the economy. Or of having somewhat better insights into what will promot... |
They are homes to things that go bump in the night, dark corners and usually a ghost or two. |
October is haunted house season, with many of the fright sites dotting the Northern Michigan landscape. |
Here's a look into what they are, where they are, and how they are haunted. |
There are three areas to this all-ages haunt in Boyne Falls. |
"It's a little more intense in the upstairs this year," noted Challenge Mountain executive director Sue Moody. |
This is in part because of added animation, a different setup from last year and the addition of a Salem witch trial display, she said. There is also a large play area for children. |
There are two other areas, one of which is outside and the other which is downstairs; the downstairs haunt is not recommended for children under 7 years old. |
The outdoor area features the Grimm Forest and Grateful Dead Graveyard, and there is a drain maze. |
The Nightmare is 7-10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays in October at Challenge Mountain Lodge, 2205 Springbrook Road, Boyne Falls. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 per two children ($5 for one or two children). Each ticket is a season pass, which allows visitors to come back as many times as they would like during the season. |
For more information, call 535-2141. |
This will be the second year that the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Charlevoix goes haunted. |
"When the big cutter (Acacia) used to be here in Charlevoix, they used to have the haunted ship and it was a big thing for Charlevoix," said Petty Officer Frank Webber. "And since the ship's not here we decided to put it on." |
While last year's theme was more like a hospital, he noted this year's will be set up more as a prison, including a psycho ward and execution room. |
The haunt will be 7-11 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 28-29, at the U.S. Coast Guard station, 101 Coast Guard Drive, Charlevoix. It is recommended for middle school age and older. Cost is one canned good to be donated to the Charlevoix Community Food Pantry. |
For more information, call Seth Thorson at 547-2565. |
The Charlevoix Performing Arts is putting on a haunted prison the weekend before Halloween. |
"What's going to happen is we're going to assume that everyone who's coming to the haunted prison is, that they are a visitor that's coming to visit someone who's in the prison," said performing arts teacher Danielle Wager. |
However, soon after they arrive, the visitors will find something's gone horribly wrong, she added. |
The haunt is 7-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, and 7-10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at Charlevoix High School, Charlevoix. Ages for the haunt are by parent discretion. Cost is $4 per person or $3 per person with donation of canned good for the community food pantry. |
In conjunction with the haunt, there will be all-ages family games and activities in the commons area of the high school. There will be Halloween coloring pages, haunted tattoos and haunted stickers, along with other games and activities for modest prices. Pumpkin painting will be available with the purchase of a pumpk... |
For more information, call Wager at Charlevoix High School, 547-3222. |
There are two haunts at the Scream in Wolverine - Kurt and Burt's House of Horror and The Swamp of Terror. |
According to the Web site, Kurt and Burt's House of Horror was owned by a brilliant doctor and his wife. Soon after marriage, the wife died. The doctor, upset at not being able to heal his wife, tried to find a way to bring her back to life, but went mad instead and continues to wander the halls. |
The Swamp of Terror is the former location of Haakwood, a lumbering town of days past. One day, the postmaster came to deliver the mail, and everyone was gone, disappeared - but the swamp remains until today. |
Kurt Zimmerle of the Scream in Wolverine said the house has been redesigned from last year, and includes some new rooms. The swamp is back this year, and three new ghost buildings and a bridge have been discovered. |
The Scream in Wolverine is 7-11 p.m. today, Thursday, through Saturday, Oct. 16-18, and Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 23-Nov.1, two miles north of Wolverine on Old 27. It is recommended for ages 12 and older. Cost is $8.50 per haunt or $15 for both. |
For more information, call 525-9365 before haunt hours or visit www.screaminwolverine.com. |

Los Angeles (AFP) - Regarded as two of the most innovative directors in the world, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen have been pushing back the boundaries of movie-making for nearly three decades. |
The nearly inseparable American duo, who will chair the Cannes film festival jury in May, write, direct and produce their films jointly. They have also edited movies, under the alias Roderick Jaynes. |
They know Cannes well, having won the Palme d'Or in 1991 for Barton Fink, and the best director prize for Fargo in 1996 and The Man Who Wasn't There in 2001. Their Inside Llewyn Davis won them the jury's grand prize in 2013. |
Since exploding onto the scene in 1984 with their offbeat thriller Blood Simple, the two have reeled off a dozen films, each notable for their distinctive quirky humour or macabre themes. |
Favoured by critics and film festivals, they have won more than 100 prizes together. They have been jointly nominated for 12 Academy Awards and one individual Oscar each. |
The siblings are known as the "two-headed director" within the movie world for their seamless ability to work alongside each other. |
Joel, 60, and Ethan, 57, grew up in St Louis Park, Minnesota as the children of college professors. They had an interest in film from an early age, remaking movies seen on television with a Super-8 camera they bought using money saved from mowing lawns. |
After graduating from Simon's Rock College of Bard in Massachusetts, Joel spent four years studying film at New York University, while Ethan attended Princeton, where he graduated in philosophy in 1979. |
Joel's early experience involved working as an assistant editor on Sam Raimi's 1981 film The Evil Dead and it was another three years before the two brothers arrived with Blood Simple, which they wrote and directed. |
The film is notable for the appearance of Frances McDormand, who would later marry Joel before appearing in several of the brothers' films. |
The Coens followed up with their screwball 1987 comedy Raising Arizona starring Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter as a married couple who steal a baby to raise as their own. |
The start of the next decade saw the Coens pay homage to gangster films with the 1990 flick Miller's Crossing, featuring a youthful Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney and John Turturro. |
Two memorable comedies - Barton Fink (1991) and The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) - came next, before arguably the Coens' best-known film, Fargo, in 1996. |
The movie, about a bungling car salesman (William Macy) who sets up a bogus kidnap plot involving his wife with disastrous consequences, earned two Oscars: best actress for McDormand and original screenplay for the Coens. |
It has since been made into a television series that began in 2014, with the Coen brothers serving as executive producers. |
A dramatic change of tone was to follow with 1998's The Big Lebowski, a surreal comedy about an aging Californian slacker (Jeff Bridges) who is mistaken for a millionaire, and hilarity ensues. |
Another comedy, O Brother, Where Art Thou? starring George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson as three convicts on the run in 1930s Mississippi came in 2000. The film, a loose interpretation of Homer's The Odyssey, was nominated for two Oscars. |
The Coens returned to neo-noir in their next film, The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), while a second collaboration with Clooney came in the 2003 offbeat comedy Intolerable Cruelty. A remake of the classic comedy The Ladykillers, starring Tom Hanks, came in 2004 before the bleak No Country For Old Men, which won four Osca... |
Later that year, they teamed up with Clooney and McDormand again in Burn After Reading, a comedy about a hapless pair of gym employees trying to make money from a disc containing the memoirs of a CIA agent. |
In 2009 came A Serious Man, a typically black comedy about a Midwest professor who watches his life unravel through a series of incidents, seemingly unable to stop the downward spiral. |
True Grit, (2010) a remake of the classic John Wayne western, took the Coens into unexplored territory. |
The mostly urban, New York-based pair had never worked with animals, for example, let alone horses thundering across plains in bloody shootouts. |
But some of their trademark touches are there to see - unexpected graphic violence, odd verbal mannerisms - if not as obvious as in many of their award-winning films. |
They followed up with Inside Llewyn Davis, a nostalgic film full of humor that follows a young singer's forays into the Greenwich Village folk music art scene of the 1960s. |
BitDefender, provider of data security programs and anti-virus software, declared its list of top ten malware threats for August 2007. E-mail threats like the Storm worm or Peed Trojan and the traditional Netsky.P virus topped the charts. They accounted for 24.7% of all threats detected. |
According to BitDefender's analysis, the Trojan downloader occupied the third place accounting for 19.06% of total threats while Netsky was on the fourth place with 5.89%. The Pandex Trojan was among the top five rankings as it was responsible for 2.54% of malware detected. |
The most prevalent malware in 2007, so far, is Trojans. Of these, the class of behavior-based Trojan malware was second on the top ten chart. Behavior-based trojans refer to those items of malware that have Trojan characteristics. These are proactively spotted and detected before assigning names and signatures to them. |
BitDefender Labs detected another notable malware, the Win32.Sality.M virus, in the first six months of 2007. This is the single true virus to be part of the list. While the mass mailer Bagle virus is an important vector for the dissemination of the extremely dangerous polymorphic virus, it did not make to the August l... |
The widely used Windows metafile rendering malicious code that emerged in December 2005 and which was fixed in early January 2006 reappeared to hold the second rank in the top ten-malware list accounting for 21.5% of the entire detections. The presence of computers that are still lying around un-patched is a matter to ... |
A rootkit named Trojan.Kobcka.A, that is a very sophisticated and most recent malware, is the only new threat in the August list of top ten, according to BitDefender Labs' August 2007 report. It is assumed that the rootkit conceals a mass-mailer virus. |
The Trojan.Kobcka.A, which was responsible for 1.24% of total detections in August 2007 and which had managed to find a place in the top ten, indicates that there would be new variants of the malware ready to infect systems in the approaching months, said Viorel Canja, Head of BitDefender Labs, as published by darkRead... |
In order to do that, Seattle will need to win on the road Sunday against the Galaxy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Los Angeles took a one-goal advantage in the aggregate-score series with a 1-0 win Sunday at Qwest Field. |
In addition to Ricketts, other Galaxy players up for awards are Omar Gonzalez for defender of the year and Edson Buddle for MVP. |
In their expansion season, Sounders were nominated in four categories, and Fredy Montero won as newcomer of the year. |
For much of this season, Montero was considered a candidate for league MVP. Just last week, L.A. coach Bruce Arena said a case could be made for that. |
However, Schmid believes timing may have worked against Montero, who was Seattle’s co-leader with 10 goals and outright leader in assists, shots, shots on goal and fouls suffered. |
Schmid also said that after Seattle earned all those nominations in 2009, league voters might have moved on to fresher faces such as San Jose striker Chris Wondolowski, who is an MVP candidate after winning this season’s Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer. |
PARAMOUNT – Robert Chism had the outcome of Thursday’s San Gabriel Valley League wrestling meet between Downey High and Paramount resting squarely on his shoulders. |
And that’s exactly the position he wanted to be in. |
With his team trailing by two points, and with one match remaining, the Downey senior heavyweight came through for the defending CIF Southern Section Division V champions. Chism earned a first-period pin over Paramount’s Christopher Barrayo and led the Vikings to a hard-fought, 37-33 victory. |
Paramount held a 33-31 lead after Antonio Lopez’s pin of Louis Gonzales at 215 pounds. Chism needed just to win on points to give Downey the victory, but stuck Barrayo to the mat at the 1:51 mark of the first period to bring his teammates and coaches leaping off the bench when the referee’s hand slapped the floor. |
Downey improved to 2-0 in the SGVL while Paramount fell to 1-1. Jabine Negas (103 pounds), David Andrade (112), Jacob Barberena (135), Steven Johnson (145), David King (171) and James Serna (189) also earned victories for the Vikings, including pins from Andrade, Barberena, Johnson and King, who usually wrestles at a l... |
Edgar Vasquez (119), Javier Perez (125), Luis Chavez (130), Hector Salgado (140), Jose Sandoval (152), Edgar Chacon and Lopez came through with victories for the Pirates (1-1 SGVL). Paramount coach Don Wakefield was impressed with the efforts of Vasquez, Sandoval and Lopez. |
Next week, Downey hosts Dominguez while Paramount hosts Warren. |
