ALL-TIME 100 Movies - TIME You like us, you really like us. You also hate us. Anyway, you click on us, which is the surest way a website has of measuring interest in its content. The All-TIME 100 Movies feature—compiled by Richard Schickel and me, and handsomely packaged by Josh Macht, Mark Coatney and all the smart folks at TIME.com—attracted a record-busting 7.8 million page views in its first week, including 3.5 million on May 23rd, its opening daym, in time for Father’s Day. Thousands of readers have written in to cheer or challenge our selections, and thousands more have voted for their own favorites. The response simply underscores Richard’s and my long-held belief that everybody has two jobs: his own and movie critic. The idea was to assemble 100 estimable films since TIME began, with the March 3, 1923 issue. Not so simple, in fact, for we faced a couple of complications. Why do the list? LISTOMANIA I feel one of my grand gender generalizations coming on, and I can’t resist it, so here goes. Corliss’s Cuts
Interesting facts and Funny pictures.. - Page 7 Once upon a time, George Lucas used some of his money to form a new division at Lucasarts known as "Graphics Group". The company originally did this and that for a while, most notably the Genesis planet simulation from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and the stained-glass knight from Young Sherlock Holmes. Working there was one John Lasseter, who created a CGI short entitled The Adventures of Andre and Wally B in his downtime, with the assistance of computer genius Ed Catmull. Seeking money for his divorce costs (and also because of the failure known as Howard the Duck), Lucas eventually sold it to Steve Jobs for ten million dollars. At the same time, John Lasseter continued to use CGI to make short films and showed them around at conventions, specifically the computer-graphics convention SIGGRAPH.
UltraViolet – Home Leser-Umfrage: Die 100 besten Filme aller Zeiten - Topfilme 100: Shutter Island (USA 2010) Das "Departed"-Duo Scorsese und DiCaprio brilliert auch in diesem packendem Psychothriller, in dem US-Marshall Teddy Daniels im streng bewachten Ashecliffe Hospital für psychisch kranke Straftäter das rätselhafte Verschwinden einer Kindermörderin aufklären soll. Wer die gleichnamige Romanvorlage von Dennis Lehane nicht kennt, wird vom finalen Twist ebenso überrascht sein wie von der meisterlich inszenierten Atmosphäre dieser sehr akkuraten Adaption. 99: Reservoir Dogs - Wilde Hunde (OT: Reservoir Dogs; USA 1992) Quentin Tarantino zerlegte die Chronik eines brutal missglückten Überfalls in ihre Einzelteile und wurde damit zum Erneuerer des amerikanischen (Gangster-) Kinos.

Top 100 of Each Decade - a list by JohnnyGray Without Dhoni (the Captain), would this Indian LOI team have been as successful? - PakPassion - Pakistan Cricket Forum Some really interesting comments. First of all with the thread, I don't entirely agree that all the success can be attributed to Dhoni, yes he has played a good part but equally important is how the team has evolved, not long ago Dhoni was near to getting sacked after 0-8 losses overseas and then a home series defeat to England, but then the selectors took some brave decisions, Dhoni backed some of his players whom he believed in and the youngsters responded, it's a combination of good management, good captaincy and team work from the players side. a good captain alone won't win you games and a good team sometimes can struggle if they have a very weak captain. some good comments above about Dhoni's temperament and how he leads from the front, those things are very important for a leader.

Indian Railways RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) and Indian Railways WL (Waitlists) Explained, What RAC and WL mean, and how to take advantage of them By happysnapper999 Update: The Advance Reservation Period is currently 60 days instead of the 90 days as mentioned in gthe explanation below. The Tatkal Reservation period is also now just ONE day from the 6 days. Now that waitlisted tickets can be purchased on the internet, it’s time we had an article explaining waitlists, waitlisted tickets and RAC tickets. (I’ll also explain a little about ticket allocation/quotas and how you can use them to your advantage) Every day, Indian Railways sell millions of railway tickets for thousands of trains, considering how vast and complex the Indian Rail network is, I think they have devised an easy to understand system to ensure maximum occupancy in all classes on all bookable trains. Most trains can be booked 91* days in advance, some short distance trains, normally daytime trains, can only be booked 30 days in advance, there are a few trains with even shorter booking periods, but none on the main tourist routes. How do RAC and Waitlists all work?

"Bomber” Wells, a spin bowler and great character, played for Gloucestershire and Nottinghamshire. He used to bat at No.11 since one couldn’t bat any lower. Of him, they used to paraphrase Compton’s famous words describing an equally inept runner. “When he shouts ‘YES’ for a run, it is merely the basis for further negotiations!” Incidentally, Compton was no better. John Warr said, of Compton “He was the only person who would call you for a run and wish you luck at the same time.”
Cat and the monk story - hr professionals.. CiteHR sunil krishnan Started The Discussion: THE CAT & THE MONK’s - STORY Once upon a time, there was a monastery in Tibet. The Monks in the monastery meditated from Dawn to Dusk. One day it so happened that a Cat trespassed into the monastery and disturbed the monks. The tradition continued. One Day the Cat died. A committee was formed to find a solution an it was unanimously decided that a cat be bought from the nearby market and tied to the banyan tree before starting the meditation each day This tradition is still followed in the monastery even today. NOTE: Look at the practices in our life and even practices in our organizations - some of those so called “customary practices” we follow - we never question it, we do not know why it is done that way and why was it started at the first place .
