    I can't go without mentioning this.One of The saddest movies and
    ending I have seen in all my film buff years also starred Philip Seymore
    Hoffman.Its ... - Love Liza - { 2002 }
    I think there are 2 ending because one ending is too bizarre for the
    movie public to handle.It's a movie that has been pretty much shelved
    and for good reason.It deals with a grown man { Hoffman } who is so
    distraught over the loss of a loved one he turns to Huffing.
    Like in glue sniffing.However Glue { the kind needed is not easily
    acquired as Model Airplane hobby shops keep a close eye on
    selling } as also with the kind of fuel or gas needed to propel a
    remote control model airplane
    So Hoffman takes up Huffing Gasoline.Much easier to get and
    afford.But there's a problem.Those who huff gas end up smelling like
    a gasoline pump.It's not possible to hide those gasoline fumes
    which collect on ones' person { clothes }.
    So Hoffman as Wilson Joel gets caught one time then another reeking of
    gas fumes and gets canned from a decent job.However it only intensifies
    his new addiction to the point of near obsession.
    I will give away the ending later as I have seen 2 versions.

    i like mel gibson movies like the patriot, we defeated england for freedom because of militias who fought in bushes instead of in formal battle lines like the queens army.

    they learned these tactics when they defeated the injuns for freedom first, here is a clip.

    My younger brother when courting his wife in the 70's
    and they still had Drive-in Movies,went one Saturday night to
    see - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - { 1974 }. They talked
    about the experience for years.Like they should never have done
    seen it.There are such movies.
    Not necessarily about Texas ... but close.

    After two weeks of swimming I was back on the elliptical and weights today. I was able to increase my sustained speed on a 20% grade from 90 to 100 steps per minute on the elliptical. So by changing it up for two weeks I saw a 10% improvement in my maximum performance.

    I've also found that I can swim every day - no off day needed. Do sprints one day, and endurance swimming the next. Thinking back, that's how we trained for competition as well. Same with weights, heavy one day, light the next. But with weights I need more time to heal. If I don't take off days I end up getting injured. And of course I keep injuring myself if I try to lift too heavy. Too many war wounds. But it turns out that medium weight, fast lifts, and high reps, is just as effective.

    Something else that I've been noticing is that swimming sprints is very much like heavy lifting. There is really no limit to how hard you can push except your own strength limits. So each stroke becomes the same as a heavy lift. But you are moving quickly as well. So I guess you are hitting fast twitch and medium twitch muscles as well as maxing out on the effective weight or resistance. Very cool!

    texas is self sufficient as it has its own power grid, if the lights were ever turned off there they would not only survive, but thrive.

    slaves do not be tricked into freedom, for the state holds the whip and is the earthly master.

    god says to serve the earthly master as you would god.

    I get restaurant-size boxes of it at BJs so always have it on hand. Over time I have been finding more and more uses for it.

    I also use Bisquick a lot. When I use that in my cornbread I don't have to add leavening.

    The again I could have asked ... : " Why do you want to
    work in a pickle factory " -- Factotum - { 2005 }
    The Life & Times of inveterate writer Charles Bukowski.
    " There is only one final judge of writing and that is the Writer ".
    When asked in - Factotum " when applying for a job at the
    Gedney's Pickle Factory what he does for a living.He states
    he's a writer ... mostly short stories and he's halfway thru a
    novel.When the Employer inquires as to what the novel is about ...
    Bukowski says ... " Everything ".
