A provocative science fiction drama, District 9 boasts an original story that gets a little lost in blow-'em-up mayhem. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa, District 9 begins as a mock documentary about the imminent eviction of extraterrestrials from a pathetic shantytown (called District 9). The creatures, it turns out, have been on Earth for years, having arrived sickly and starving. Initially received by humans with compassion and care, the aliens are now mired in blighted conditions typical of long-term refugee camps unwanted by a hostile, host society. With the creatures' care contracted out to a for-profit corporation, the shantytown has become a violent slum. The aliens sift through massive piles of junk while their minders secretly research weapons technology that arrived on the visitors' spacecraft.

Against this backdrop is a more personal story about a bureaucrat named Wikus (Sharlto Copley) who is accidentally exposed to a DNA-altering substance. As he begins metamorphosing into one of the creatures, Wikus goes on the run from scientists who want to harvest his evolving, new parts and aliens who see him as a threat. When he pairs up with an extraterrestrial secretly planning an escape from Earth, however, what should be a fascinating relationship story becomes a series of firefights and explosions. Nuance is lost to numbing violence, and the more interesting potential of the film is obscured. Yet, for a while District 9 is a powerful movie with a unique tale to tell. Seamless special effects alone are worth seeing: the (often brutal) exchanges between alien and human are breathtaking. --Tom Keogh

If I had the time I could probably hunt down all these candies and package them in a basket for 33% of the price, but who wants to go through all that trouble. This was nicely packaged and the 28-year-old friend I gave this to loved it! It was all the candy he wasn't allowed to buy as a pre-teen kid! Some memories from the snack bar at my little league games were also in there.

My son turned 18 this year, and what do you get an 18 year old?? This candy box was a lot of fun for him. He reminisced with his brothers about their childhood and the memories the different candy brought back. I recommend this for a fun gift idea. And for a trip back in time!!

Seeing the Benefits of Fiber Food

Fiber foods (dietary fiber) is a component in plants that are not digested enzymatically into parts that can diserat in the digestive tract. Barbara Rolls, Phd, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan, says the consumption of high-fiber diet is very good for lowering cholesterol, but also prevent constipation because fiber absorbs water when passing through the digestive tract so that the feces become soft tekstus. To be free from constipation, fiber consumption should be balanced with adequate water intake, because if not drinking, it will exacerbate fiber constipation or bowel disorders.

"Fiber not only reduces the density of food (the number of calories we / create), but also shorten the time lapse when the rest of the digestive tract through the system," said Rolls. This will reduce exposure to carcinogens intestinal wall. In addition, according to Joanne Slavin, PhD, an expert in the field of obesity from the University of Minnesota, fibers not only make your stomach feel more full, but also reduces digestive problems, including colon cancer.

Some studies even show that large amounts of fiber can help regulate blood sugar and insulin. This is why, people who often eat more fiber tend to be slimmer. Fiber is also known to show other benefits to health. High fiber intake (especially from cereals and products serelia) proved to slow the emergence of cholesterol plaque in women who suffer from heart disease. Adequate fiber consumption will also protect your heart by lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) without reducing good cholesterol (HDL). This is because high-fiber foods usually contain saturated fats and cholesterol low. The best sources of fiber are vegetables and fruits, and grains. The experts do not recommend the consumption of fiber supplements because of inappropriate consumption can cause intestinal obstruction and diarrhea.

The Panasonic Viera C12 series, 32 inch tv is my first lcd tv. I have had a flat screen crt tv from sharp for about 4-5 years. the Sharp tv was great for what it was and have only good things to say about it, but it was getting old, occupied too much space and wanted a slick LCD. My girlfriend has an 37 inch LCD from Samsung and i have to say i was never too impressed with it so i wanted a different brand. I got the Panasonic for under $500 which was absolutely great and i am extremely satisfied. Firstly i have to say that the picture quality is better than the Samsumg and it has great features. I have only basic cable but i do get some hd channels which look fantastic.

Also i love the fact that you can easily turn the tv screen to a giant computer screen by hooking one cable up to your computer. I tend to watch some european soccer online and being able to see it on the tv screen was one thing i was looking for in a LCD. THe TV also has this cool feature where you can put in a digital camera memory stick and it will show all the pics on the tv. While this is not a reason in itself to buy it, it is a nice add-on when you want to check out how pictures look without having to download them on the computer first. Also i find the menu of the tv quite easy, simple and very user friendly.

I am very happy with the purchase from a quality & price perspective and would recommend this .
