Turbulent priest remains thorn in Beijing's side

By Paul Eckert, Asia Correspondent WASHINGTON - China should suffer a boycott of its cherished Beijing Olympics if it mishandles protests in restive Tibet, Hollywood actor and Tibetan activist Richard Gere said on Friday.

I heard a lot about this movie so my expectations where high. So I went to the movies last saturday and saw The Curse of the Were-Rabbit starring Wallace & Gromit.
They pulled it off in spades! It caught the entire audience immediately.

Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter are stunning. Steve Box's direction was simply fabulous too.
I highly recommend it! A must see.

Just read this article at the Environmental Leader website. Congress stepped up scrutiny of the Environmental Protection Agency, days after regulators unveiled smog rules that were weaker than those recommended by the agency's science advisers.

Today I had to deal with LZV. I was supposed to be at the meeting with our Forward Architect but something came up, so now I have to write a document on LZV. Anyways.

I was supposed to stick to the original plan for EHD. Rumours say that I'll be working on the new LZV. My manager heard that they are in debt in the millions. Why didn't they mention it? Progress is slow, but the EHD people are very cooperative.

Yesterdayafter a little preliminary drinking , we went to a little French restaurant downtown called Café Rouge to celebrate john's birthday. John had been there once before. It was very hot inside. I heard their salt cod gratin with olives is excellent. I had mixed feelings because I don't care much for French food. We asked the waiter for recommendations. We ordered a bottle of wine.

We went for the sirloin steak, which was spicy.
We had lots of fun there. If you ever make it there, their bouillabaisse is to die for.

Jane and I saw Nine Lives last saturday. A lot op people recommended it so I wanted to see what the hype is about.
There are occasional lapses in credibility. I think my expectations were high, as I only found it amusing, but not the big deal that everyone was talking about.

The direction (by Rodrigo García) was reasonably nice, I had reservations about Lisa Gay Hamilton, but it turned out pleasant. Kathy Baker delivered just a gratifying performance too.

Jane and I went to the movies last saturday and saw 'Duma' and it was rather ok.


The plot involved the following: Young Xan (Michaeletos), living a non-traditional life on his parents' ranch in Kenya, takes in an orphaned cheetah cub as a pet. Quickly, Xan and Dooms, as the cub comes to be known, become inseparable friends. Based on Cawthra Hopcraft's picture-book.

The actors and the director did an enjoyable job.
It's not bad, because it does keep you in expectation. I won't say it's a masterpiece.
