Frozen River
Frozen River (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: Takes place in the days before Christmas near a little-known border crossing on the Mohawk reservation between New York State and Quebec.

Two women – one white, one Mohawk, both single mothers faced with desperate circumstances – are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River. Ray and Lila… and the New York State Trooper who ultimately brings the two to justice.

Are these rare "medical conditions" common? Do they even have names?
Hi, since I was around 7 I’ve noticed I can do things with my body that didn’t seem normal to me. I’ll explain them to you and maybe you can tell me if these are somethings that everyone can do, or if there are names for these things.

1. I can mentally change my body temperature. I don’t know how to explain this, but like for example: I live in Canada where our winters are very cold. If me and my friends are outside wearing not so warm clothes, they start to shiver. That makes sense, but with me, if I start to feel cold, I go into a weird meditation state and I warm myself up. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like I’ll stand there and close my eyes. Then I focus all my thoughts on an area of my body that is cold (usually my ears or toes). Then I slowly warm up some how. I noticed I could do this since I was very young, and swam in a half frozen river. None of my friends can do this. They just stand there and freeze, but if I focus on part of my body, I can warn it up. Is there a name for this? Is this common in people?

2. I have a weird sense of smell. I’ve noticed this for the longest
time. It kind of has two extraordinary parts to it:
A – I can smell the weather. Ever since I was young (like 4 or 5) at night I could smell and predict the next day’s weather based on the smell. Like now that I’m 14, I realize that not everyone can do this like I thought. Every night if I go outside before bed, and I take a slow but long breath through my nose, I will know the next days forcast. If it’s going to rain, it smells sweet. If the leaves are about to fall (in autumn) it smells strongly like wood. If first snowfall is coming, it smells sweet like the rain, but drier. It is just weird.

B – I can smell death. When I was younger, before my grandpa died, he smelled of a weird stench. It is hard to explain. It’s like a sweet musty smell. I thought nothing of it. My cat got that same
smell a month ago, and it triggered a memory to back before my grandpa died. Sure enough my cat had an infection, and recently passed. My mom has this same death smell, but mine seems stronger. I could smell it on my cat 2 weeks before my mom could. This death smell thing seems more common from the small amount of research I’ve done.

Now, please tell me if there are any names for these "conditions" and how common they are. Do u know anyone who can do these? I’m not trying to sound like a superhero. I honestly know I have these "powers" I guess u could call them. Share your stories!
@ first poster: I’m thinking that too. It seems really far fetched that someone could do the above.


I would call it Psychic. I’ve heard of this before.

Beethoven (1992)

IMDB rating: 5.00

Plot: Barely escaping from nefarious dognappers, an adorable puppy named Beethoven adopts the unsuspecting Newton family — and promptly grows up into 185 pounds of romping, drolling, disaster-prone St. Bernard! Unfortunately, even after proving his canine credentials to mom and the kids, the heroic hound gets nowhere with uptight dad, George (Charles Grodin). But when a beastly veterinarian (Dean Jones) makes Beethoven the target of an unspeakable animal experiment, George becomes the only hope for saving the Newton’s furriest family member.

What is the best HD Camcorder for low light conditions? Specifically I'm trying to video the northern light?


A camcorder with 3CCD sensors. A SD one is around 800$ if you want it in HD its around 5000$

Examples:

Canon XL1
Canon XH-A1
Sony VX2100
TheRavn | Feb 02, 2010


lucky you, i have never been in a position to see them. however i have used cameras a lot, and i think your biggest problem will be with the auto-exposure. AE is designed to make the average exposure equal out to a medium gray, which is not correct for a dark sky. the result will be a lot of distracting grain, either flickers or screen door. With the full open exposure, any celestial lights, included moon and stars will overload the CCD which washes out color (which you are hoping to get) and may even cause vertical smears. A CCD is much more sensitive to light than the human eye, so if the displays are clearly visible, you need to be able to stop down the AE, and most particularly to not use electrical gain. you need a camera with manual or at least defeatable gain (effective ISO) or has an AE program setting for night shooting.

Mandy’s video links are somewhat dissappointing. The only actual video of northerlights was an uncredited ancient VHS shot probably 30 years old. The other were either the rock band "Northern Lights", a couple of computer animations imitating northern lights, and a time lapse movie film with exposure delays so long you can see the stars move. None of these offer a clue on how to video them. Just get out and try it!
lare | Feb 02, 2010


The panasonic AJ-HPX3700 is a very good camera in most situations.
…….Maybe you shoud specify a budget?
Tony | Feb 02, 2010


I added a link to a website that have posts of videos of the Northern lights. After you click on them, check the tags and/or other info about the video shots. Many posters will state which camera, settings, etc., they used. If not, just send them a message and ask. Lots of helpful people there on vimeo.com.

you can consider buying this one

niks | Feb 03, 2010


There’s no danger of overloading a CCD – there’s very little chance of recording anything more than a faint smudge in the sky! Aurora photography needs exposure times of more than about 10 seconds, so you need very specialised equipment to video it. From memory, the old VHS footage that Lare mentioned was recorded with the equivalent of ISO 1,000,000 film!
Iridflare | Feb 03, 2010


Go for Sony DCR sx40 .
Im personally using it and it gives great result in Low light.
I bought it for 250$

I dont know but can my boss do this??
I am just looking for a little advice/reassurance, Let me start from the beginning, I work for a trucking company and when I first started I was on an hourly wage but I was working 10 hours overtime, my boss doesn’t pay overtime so at first the extra 10 hours were put through as a bonus. She then went on to put me on salary so that there were no more bonuses, anyway, I was off for a year on mat leave and when I came back to work she waited till I asked her about my pay and then she told me that I was back on hourly pay and that my hours have been cut.

Can she keep chopping and changing how I get paid to suit her?? I am calling the labour board today before I go in and talk to her but I feel like I am being discriminated against because I have a baby. She has no kids so she doesn’t get the extra costs and also the guy that was doing my job while I was off was being paid the same as I was before I finished up.

Any comments would be appreciated.
Monica….Can she really do that even though I was off on Maternity Leave?? I thought that I had to be reinstated at the same wage and not less, she was paying me salary before I left.


She can do anything she wants within the agreement of your contract. For example, if you signed for a certain amount of hours each week that a regular, she is legally not allowed to change them. Otherwise, it is perfectly legal. Talk to her about this before looking for another job.
