100% 56 Up

Apted, himself now in his early 70s, says he hopes to continue the series further. Long may it live.

Watching "56 Up" gives you the wonderful feeling of seeing a sociological experiment blossom into something novelistically rich and humane.

Time has been neither kind nor cruel to the 13 men and women profiled in "56 UP." It has just been time, which is what this groundbreaking series is about.

We are all older now, and this series proves it in a most deeply moving way.

Inevitably, one looks in the mirror afterward and thinks, What have I lost? What have I gained? And at what cost?

To see "56 Up" is to be reunited with an old friend.

Perhaps the boldest and probably longest running sociological experiment on film.

I think the best thing about this movie (and the entire series) is that it forces the viewer to think about their own lives. It's kind of an awakening experience.

Once again, Apted assembles a captivating documentary that's profoundly educational, essential viewing to aid the understanding of the human experience.

"56 Up" is well worth seeing.

56 Up is still moving and philosophic, though not as exciting as earlier episodes, which had more drama.

The running time is over two hours, but the lives here are richly revealed and vastly rewarding.

Apted possesses the unsettling ability to shape perceptions of their lives and personalities from inside an editing suite, a fact that the members of his flock begin to recognize at varying points throughout their adult years.

...can be seen and appreciated by both those who have followed series and those to whom it is all new.

It's like the startling time lapse photography of "Chasing Ice" had been applied to the human race.

See you again in 7 years, friends.

In the eighth installment of Michael Apted's epochal documentary series, his aging participants (one of cinema's greatest assemblage of living characters) provide not just a telescope into the past but also a kind of primer for how to live.

The granddaddy of longitudinal documentaries impressively reaches grandparenthood. . . continuing to reveal as much about the heard (but not seen) Apted as his interviewees.

Continuing Michael Apted's insightful commentary on how life can be full of surprises.

2013 NFL Mock Draft: Colts Eying D.J. Fluker At No. 24

For this week, Dan and the Mocking the Draft crew have the Colts eying an offensive lineman with the No. 24 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Welcome to Mock Draft Monday, where my old buddy Dan Kadar will dazzle your soul with his pre-draft mocks. For this week, Dan and the Mocking the Draft crew have the Colts eying an offensive lineman with the No. 24 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft:

24. Indianapolis Colts	D.J. Fluker, Alabama	OT	6-5	355	Sr.
Winston Justice is an unrestricted free agent and Ben Ijalana has been a bust of a draft pick. Fluker has been a fast-rising prospect with impressive size and power in the run blocking game. There has been speculation that Fluker may not fall out of the top 20 picks, but if he does, the Colts should take him and look for help on defense later in the draft.

My thoughts:

Well, I can't say I disagree with Dan's logic, especially when he calls Ben Ijalana a bust. Personally, I think Justice should be and will be re-signed. He a solid right tackle, when healthy. However, he isn't a long-term solution, and the "when healthy" part was not that often in 2012 for Justice.

Going forward, you need another bookend. For the present, at 6'5, 355 lbs, Fluker would easily be the biggest lineman on the block in Indianapolis. He could take a turn at guard in Pep Hamilton's new system, kicking out to tackle if Justice struggles or gets hurt.

Plus, a year after drafting a guy named Fugger, I think it only appropriate the Colts get a Fluker on the roster.

Note: Dan passed up on DTs Johnathan Hankins of Ohio State and John Jenkins of Georgia.

Your thoughts?

Nike Pulled The Plug On Its FuelBand Android Companion App In Favor Of iOS And The Web

Of all activity tracking devices that have been churned out in the past year and half, Nike?s FuelBand has been strapped to my person the longest. Sadly, the wrist-worn gadget has never been able to sync wirelessly with an Android device the way it could with an iDevice, and it looks like that?s going to be the case indefinitely ? according to a Nike tweet spotted by Droid-Life, the company is no longer working on an Android version of its Bluetooth-syncing FuelBand app.

Why hello there! I almost didn't see you... Well anyway My name is Moonlight~ though feel free to call me Liz or Zelda or Pickles, I'm really not picky. I started really forum based role playing (I had attempted it before, but never really got in to it I just stuck with my RPG's such as Final Fantasy, Dragon's Age etc,) on a site that goes by the name of Chicken Smoothie as odd as it sound I enjoy it their.

When it comes to role playing I prefer Human Fantasy/Utopian/Unrealistic. I do not role play animals (Just not my style)
I will do a realistic though if I like the plot line a ton. I try to be as literate as I can but I only started a month or two ago so I'm still not amazing. I am also currently teaching myself Japanese, I'm not sure what else to put, I already bored you enough so please have some Pocky for your troubles. ^^

Moonlight~

The benefits of a healthy sex life are numerous. Sex strengthens the immune system. Orgasms release hormones beneficial to immunity. DHEA is one of them. It fights against colds and flu. Greater sexual activity in older men helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer while regular sex encourages longevity in both men and women. It?s a great natural stress reliever, and heaven knows we can?t have too many of those in our modern lives!

ground cardamom, to taste
splash of rose water

New whooping cough strain in US raises questions

NEW YORK (AP) ? Researchers have discovered the first U.S. cases of whooping cough caused by a germ that may be resistant to the vaccine.

Health officials are looking into whether cases like the dozen found in Philadelphia might be one reason the nation just had its worst year for whooping cough in six decades. The new bug was previously reported in Japan, France and Finland.

"It's quite intriguing. It's the first time we've seen this here," said Dr. Tom Clark of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The U.S. cases are detailed in a brief report from the CDC and other researchers in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

Whooping cough is a highly contagious disease that can strike people of any age but is most dangerous to children. It was once common, but cases in the U.S. dropped after a vaccine was introduced in the 1940s.

An increase in illnesses in recent years has been partially blamed on a version of the vaccine used since the 1990s, which doesn't last as long. Last year, the CDC received reports of 41,880 cases, according to a preliminary count. That included 18 deaths.

The new study suggests that the new whooping cough strain may be why more people have been getting sick. Experts don't think it's more deadly, but the shots may not work as well against it.

In a small, soon-to-be published study, French researchers found the vaccine seemed to lower the risk of severe disease from the new strain in infants. But it didn't prevent illness completely, said Nicole Guiso of the Pasteur Institute, one of the researchers.

The new germ was first identified in France, where more extensive testing is routinely done for whooping cough. The strain now accounts for 14 percent of cases there, Guiso said.

In the United States, doctors usually rely on a rapid test to help make a diagnosis. The extra lab work isn't done often enough to give health officials a good idea how common the new type is here, experts said.

"We definitely need some more information about this before we can draw any conclusions," the CDC's Clark said.

The U.S. cases were found in the past two years in patients at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. One of the study's researchers works for a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which makes a version of the old whooping cough vaccine that is sold in other countries.
