sharp - eyed readers will notice they' re getting two reviews for the price of this one. that' s because the rather bizarrely - titled i died a thousand times is a remake of high sierra. though high sierra is more famous and features noir icon humphrey bogart, i died a thousand times, with jack palance and shelley winters and directed by the less well - known stuart heisler, is the better film .

though it' s less well - known than high sierra, i died a thousand times is tighter, darker and more tragic. it omits high sierra' s leisurely opening sequence tracing bogart' s release from prison and his cross - country drive to the sierra nevadas. instead, director stuart heisler establishes a circularity in the film by opening with jack palance' s roy staring at the mountains and briefly repeating that scene near the end of the film .

what i learned: you know, i' m in a position where i get to help my screenwriter friends with their pitches. if they' re pitching to me, and i get confused following all the character connections, then chances are the plot and backstories might be a little too complicated for a screenplay. this isn' t always the case, but as i was trying to explain the plot of
i died a thousand times
out loud to one of my friends, they got confused. i thought, do i suck at describing things? or are the plot and character connections too byzantine? i decided that the connections in the script were complicated, perhaps to a fault. more specifically, i didn' t understand the emotions between sal and helen. sal longs for the wife he helped euthanize, but when he finally gets a second chance with her, he sort of wants nothing to do with her. i didn' t get that. if i said at my euthanized wife' s grave ,
i' m lost without you ,
and i suddenly got a second chance with her, i wouldn' t spend a lot of time running away from her. it didn' t feel consistent. for clarity' s sake, make sure that your character' s emotions are consistent, and logical in a narrative sense .

with all due respect to the lost of a son, i agree with this statement .
when i was a kid, i begged my babysitter to let me in on the supposed twist ending of the sixth sense, the scary movie that all the cool kids had already seen in my third - grade class. you might have thought that this would have ruined the movie for me, but somehow i carried on, and the sixth sense became one of my absolute favorite movies. i may have known the ending from the start (totally my fault, by the way — i think my babysitter would have said anything for me to go to sleep at that point) but maybe that was a good thing. i' ve rewatched the sixth sense approximately a thousand times in the past 15 years (wednesday marks the film' s 15th anniversary), and i' ve realized that there were a lot of clues that revealed the truth before that final scene. i guess the late' 90s were a simpler time... and hindsight is 20 / 20 .
a month ago, half way through my angel funds raised from family members, i decided to review the progress i’ve made and figure out what still needs to happen to make this a viable business. i was also actively pursuing raising vc funds with the help of a very talented and well connected friend. at the end, i asked myself what are the most critical resources i need to be successful and the answer was partners and developers. i’ve been looking for both for about a year and was unable to find the right people. i realized that money was not the issue .
the mountains are a holy grail for palance, symbolising cleanliness and purity on one hand and deadliness on the other (roy tells marie the mountains are
so cold they could kill a man .
) the strange combination of purity and deadliness rematerializes in, of all things, pard the dog, the first and possibly only chien fatale in film history. it' s not really pard who' s the fatale force in i died a thousand times - - that might be too perverse, even for a film noir. it' s roy' s desire for a clean and pure domestic life with a wife and a dog. it' s the american dream that can really take it out of you, director heisler subversively says .
i felt sad when i read this, my heart goes to the mother i can’t imagine what she’s going through she’s been grieving and been treated like this is just too much. i surmise that slmc is a non - sectarian, non - stock, non - profit organization, but why did this happened? . the 25% interest is really appalling, i understand business is business but really it’s a stab to the core of the social responsibility to the community that they should be exercising as the country’s premier medical institution. haay i love the hospital, i was born there, it was my school’s namesake, and i did my clinical rotations there…just disappointing .

your comment was one of the insensitive i’ve read in a while. i just hope other’s won’t be saying the same to you when you are the one who’s unable to pay .
i once was diagnosed with a disease that needed all kinds of tests that was beyond my capacity to pay. i had emplyment but i did not have insurance. my husbamd’s insurance did not kick in until months later so the lab people at hte hospital just let me sign an agreement where i would pay them an amount that would be easy on my pocket. i’m still paying them, but it’s not oppressive. if i miss payment, they just wait. i will fully pay what i owe because they were good to me in my hardship. how could st. luke’s do this to people? it’s like it’s run by bankers not health providers .
and this worked really well for foursquare thanks to the mayorship. if i tell someone i’m the mayor of a spot, i’m in an instant conversation: “what makes you the mayor? ” “that’s lame, i’m there way more than you” “what do you get for being mayor? ”. compare that to talking about gowalla: “i just swapped this sticker of a bike for a sticker of a six pack of beer! what? yes, i am still a virgin”. see the difference? make some aspect of your product easy and fun to talk about, and make it unique .
while i know there might be a possibility i could hustle incredibly hard and try to set up partnerships, the time investment required far outweighed the already incredibly slim chances of generating revenue .

the money elrod used to abscond was provided by sinclair: the banker wired a couple thousand dollars to elrod’s ex - husband, who fedexed a cashier’s check to bluefield. elrod then caught a ride to the charlotte area, where she rented a room in the town of matthews .

too much out of the topic typing here but i hope you guys get it .
“sometimes, ” he says, “i long to list my impieties in detail. to bellow that i don’t pray, i don’t do my ablutions, i don’t fast, i will never go on any pilgrimage, and i drink wine — and what’s more, the air that makes it better. to cry out that i’m free, and that god is a question, not an answer, and that i want to meet him alone, at my death as at my birth. ” it is in this simple, direct language, ably translated from the french by john cullen, that daoud writes his letter of love, rebellion and despair for algeria. it is a letter filled with doubles — a speaker and a listener, a narrator and a narrated, a murderer and a victim, an author and an icon, fanatics of the gun and fanatics of god .
when i was 15, a shy and bookish sophomore at a high school in morocco, my french class was assigned albert camus’s “the stranger. ” i remember being intrigued by the fact that the story was set in neighboring algeria. i remember the novel’s indelible first line: “mother died today. ” i remember what an odd hero meursault seemed to me, unabashed and remorseless, a man who shows no emotion at his mother’s funeral. and i still remember how distressing it was to come upon the crucial scene in which meursault, walking on a beach under the midday sun, shoots a nameless arab. our class discussed meursault, his mother, his fight with the priest, existentialism and the absurd. all the while, i had to quiet the voice inside me that kept asking, “but what about the arab? ”
billing dep lack customer service that’s true. if you ask me, i think they need better social skills. it’s like they do not know how to deal with grieving people. i know this because a friend of mine died last 2011 and they refused to release the body and med certs. we were ready to slap this law in their faces but then again; patients who stayed in private rooms shall not be covered by this act. they only released her until (i think, if i remembr it correctly) 75% of her bill was settled and a promisory note signed .
a good product idea and a strong technical team are not a guarantee of a sustainable business .
hmm, this week is going to be a little crazy. i' ll be contrasting today' s huge fanboy review with something tomorrow that' s so independent, i' m not even sure
isabelle, the us healthcare system is far from perfect but you will get care even without insurance. i should know, i was the recipient of that when i lost my job and had no insurance. i had multiple er visits and surgery. i am not proud that other people had to carry the burden of saving my life. the quality of care was not the best, but i am alive and able to pay back the society that i burdened. yes obamacare will require everyone to carry insurance, but that’s between you and the irs. the hospitals and clinics are bound by the patient bill of rights .
i respect your story. please respect my statement also, slmc is still the best .
i suppose our failure can be summed up quite easily: an inability to show traction .
despite tough guy bogart' s presence, high sierra is neither a good noir nor a good film. director raoul walsh' s skillful when it comes to handling sequences with cars, including one suspenseful near - accident and a spectacular car chase scene near the end. but the overall atmosphere of joviality he creates in high sierra fits badly with the dark qualities of the script. yes, the script has elements of comic relief involving pard the dog and the cabin caretaker (african - american in high sierra, mexican - american in i died a thousand times; a demeaning stereotype in both), but its main characters are criminals. and a more cheerful and dignified pack of hard - bitten criminals you' ll never meet, especially high sierra' s leads roy and marie, as well as supporting characters big mac and mob doctor banton .
cloud atlas is powerful and elegant because of mitchell' s understanding of the way we respond to those fundamental and primitive stories we tell about good and evil, love and destruction, beginnings and ends. he isn' t afraid to jerk tears or ratchet up suspense - he understands that' s what we make stories for. cavendish, considering
the first luisa rey mystery
, imagines a critic saying :
but it' s been done a thousand times before
, and snarls to himself ,
as if there could be anything not done a hundred thousand times between aristophanes and andrew void - webber! as if art is the what, not the how !
this is a half - truth - cavendish has the limitations of his place in culture, history and this novel - but it does associate works of art, and novels, with the eternal recurrences of culture and human nature .
make an environment where you will be productive. working from home can be convenient, but often times will be much less productive than a separate space. also its a good idea to have separate spaces so you’ll have some work / life balance .
but you know, i think it' s something that could be fixed. i think people would eat this up if it was ever made into a movie, particularly fans of dark fantasy and crime stories .
at the time, i approached everything i did as an engineer. rather than change direction, i tasked the team with expanding geographically and dreaming up innovative features and growth tactics to further penetrate the consumer market… but, growth at all costs is a dangerous trap that many startups fall into, mine included .
i also agree for hospitals to show compassion but at the end of the day, they are still running a business .
but, the argument i think of the management will be… hospital is still a business. not unless it is a type of serbisyong totoo institution .
] it' s like the doc says... if i don' t lay off this stuff, it' s gonna knock me off, but i' m gonna die anyway .
you know, i did. but not as much as i wanted to. it was certainly better than end of days, if anyone remembers that schwarzenegger vehicle. i enjoyed the supernatural crime world, and i liked how it set out to be original, consciously trying to avoid the same ground as something like rosemary' s baby, which is what most prophetic horror movies mine from .
i wish i’d known how litigious hulk hogan was … i’m kind of glad i didn’t [ hold back from publishing the tape ] because if every publisher and every editor made editorial decisions based on who is scary and well funded and litigious and uses the court system to exercise power, to edit what is out there about them, then the news would look very very different than it does .
i vehemently refused to sign the document, telling gonzales that the terms and conditions were highly onerous, confiscatory and patently illegal and beyond the scope of ra 9439. my grandson and i then walked away in a huff .
if only running a business were straightforward enough to boil down to one thing i would change to effect a different outcome! hindsight is 20 / 20 (no glasses needed), so there are a lot of things i would do differently. here are a few at the top of my list :
there was no doubt about it: i had discovered the next big thing. like edison and the lightbulb, like gates and the pc operating system, i would launch a revolution that would transform society while bringing me wealth and fame. i was about to become the first person in america to sell condom key chains .
my aunt was confined at st. luke’s. qc a few years back. the morning she was discharged, i was there to setle everyrhing. i couldn’t find one pf the doctors, thus, could not settle his pf, and this caused a lot of delay. in effect, we didn’t make it to the cut off time–12 nn if i remember correctly–and was charged another half - day of confinement. the amount wasn’t much, maybe a thousand pesos or so, but what irks me is that it wasn’t our damn fault, and we got penalized for it. there is something wrong somewhere .
i felt sorry for all this things happening right now. i was even planning to go to the philippines for a medical check up but from what i have read i think i change my mind of going back home to the philippines. st luke’s was even recommended by my brother to me. my brother - in - law was also hospitalized for a stroke and for four days he has to pay p480, 000. i could not imagine this happening to someone who is in need of medical care. all i can say is there is always a word karma whatever you do to your neighbour it will come back to you ten times more. it may not happen to the drs themselves but surely it will happen to one of their love ones. god have mercy on them and give them some enlightenment. i hope that since we are moving to a progressive medical procedures we should not forget that everyone has it’s own time to live or die don’t be like someone putting everyone’s life in your hand drs. you are not urltoken what the lord has said “whatever you do to the lest of my brethren you do it to me. ”
given its hostile behavior, i believed that the hospital couldn’t care less to let my son’s body rot in its freezer unless i succumbed to its oppressive terms relative to the settlement of a net bill amounting to p1. 9 million .
secretary of state madeleine albright: i think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it .
that subversiveness comes across in i died a thousand times because of palance' s subtle acting. when bogart hugs pard the dog in high sierra, he' s simply happy. when palance hugs pard the dog, his happiness is laced with a desperate desire to reinvent himself as a family man - - even in a family of strays. pivotal also to the remake' s subversiveness is the character of velma. she and bogart share a romantic moment in high sierra, but when palance tries to get romantic, his velma rejects him. palance is perfectly matched with shelley winters' pathetic taxi dancer marie, who' s deluded into thinking she' s able to use her sexuality to control men when in reality, men are taking advantage of her sexually. likewise, palance is deluded into thinking he has a chance with velma. heisler is far less sentimental a director than walsh, and so palance' s overwhelming, overreaching desire to realise the american dream becomes
so cold [ it ] could kill a man .
nobody is interested in cloud storage anymore. it’s been pretty challenging. google photos and amazon—they took a huge chunk of [ the cloud photo storage market ]. and i think it’s going to increase over time … is there a business for a small player? i don’t think so any more .
i hope your problems will be addressed as soon as possible by the stakeholders. god bless your family .
alexander grothendieck, whose gift for deep abstraction excavated new ground in the field known as algebraic geometry and supplied a theoretical foundation for the solving of some of the most vexing conundrums of modern mathematics, died on thursday in ariège, in the french pyrenees. he was 86 .
my presentation was ok. the mandatory q & a afterwards was horrible. the only two people in the room that we hadn’t gotten prior support from were skeptical to say the least. as i left the room i was shattered. and as my contact didn’t call me later on that day i knew where it was going. my chairman didn’t either. not a good sign .
it is. i really enjoyed the first fifteen pages. it was grim, mysterious, darkly humorous, and i liked the never - say - die attitude. it reminded me of both dark city and se7en .
i feel sorry for the loss of your son. i dont think the st. lukes violated ra 9439. section 2 of the ra states that patients who stayed in private rooms are not covered by the act .
for anyone faced with winding down a company, i’d highly recommend taking a while off before making any big decisions, and not just the two and a half weeks that i’d initially tried. you’re not thinking straight when your startup dies – your perspective may be a bit different in a few months, as might your preferences for what you want to do next .
two days after that, elrod’s spirits were raised by a gushy email from mcgregor, who referred to her by the pet name silly girl: “honey my love. with you every minute spent is so amazing. showing so much affection, clinging at each other. having each moment as the best times of our lives with your love i could not ask for anything. ”
contributing editor brendan i. koerner (@ brendankoerner) wrote about skateboarder rodney mullen in issue 23. 02 .
i urge the public to be aware of their surroundings when out in these areas ,
he said .
i am not generalizing, this is my experience as a doctor in this prestigious hospital. people who get out from the hospital with a promisory note, do not get back to pay bills. the hospital is a private institution that also need to pay its overhead. doctors have families too and promisory notes cannot support our families. but rest assured that we do our best to help our patients even at times when they lack money .
no balance billing is only applicable to public hospitals only. i am a nurse for 2 years now at a private hospital. i have witnessed many patients who cannot afford to pay. an example if i may cite is we have a patient with a bill of only p 12, 000, they were not allowed to go home since they cannot pay and stayed in the hospital for long until their bill went up as high as 100k + + + .
but as the weeks went by and mcgregor failed to finalize his travel plans, elrod turned desperate. “just come here and i’ll turn myself in, ” she told him. “i don’t care what happens to me then. ”
for one, we stuck with the wrong strategy for too long. i think this was partly because it was hard to admit the idea wasn’t as good as i originally thought or that we couldn’t make it work. if we had been honest with ourselves earlier on we may have been able to pivot sooner and have enough capital left to properly execute the new strategy. i believe the biggest mistake i made as ceo of imercive was failing to pivot sooner .
i am very much happy to know that there are still hospitals with humane considerations on situations such as the topic .
the only thing that i concur in your statement is how you agreed about st. luke’s mismanagement of the situation .
the past few months have been incredibly tough, especially on the team of hello. for that i’m incredibly sorry .
yes, byrd was a member of the klan. even worse, as he wrote in his 2005 book, he formed a chapter of the domestic terrorist organization in the 1940s. then, byrd went into politics. several times during his 57 years in congress, byrd’s klan connection threatened to upend his career .
if a person has an attack or a stroke, the normal response would be the nearest hospital. . in the case, i suppose was st luke’s… now you response was insensitive an callous…saying this, i’ll be callous like you, i do hope you get a heart attack or a stroke and you are brought to san lazaro or pgh instead of makati medical or st luke’s or asian hospital…. or better yet, dr carlos dod & cat hospital! !! : )
“any time i questioned anything, he had a comeback, ” elrod says. “he could make you feel like the dumbest person in the world. ”
i think you’re correct! the better treatment for a cancer patient is proper diet. just starve the cancer cells so that they will not live anymore .
but how come the veteran’s doctor didn’t care? i later learned that pharma sales agents are not allowed in veteran’s hospitals .
i define startups as companies that don’t have control of their own destiny because they rely on investor cash infusions to operate .
this is just really disappointing… i used to revere st. luke’s so much. true maybe, but it’s really hard to stomach that hospitals are nothing short of greedy money - making enterprises. patients’ health is not their primary concern. applause to their so - called patient - centric service. all crap. i do hope that they strive to do better. i hope medical city is more efficient…more so a hospital with a heart .
elrod was skeptical upon hearing mention of nigeria, a place she vaguely knew as a font of email scams involving bogus princes. but she decided to go ahead with the plan for kevin’s sake: “i thought of kevin as my child; it was a mothering instinct. whatever it takes to take care of kevin, i’m going to do. ”
sal follows the trail to dr. neumeyer, where we learn that emily had an abortion. not only that, but she has developed a rapidly spreading cancer caused by unremoved fetal tissue in the uterus. the last time neumeyer saw emily he was prescribing her painkillers, and he believes that she died from the cancer .
when there' s already so much darkness, it' s a little too much. i feel that it not only muddles the tone, but it alienates the audience and keeps us from empathizing with sal. my heart wanted to be involved, but instead i was just confused .
not caring about the cost and relying on noblesse oblige seems irresponsible. again, i don’t think your situation qualifies for this .
“the initial 7 years were all about having negative working capital, positive cash flow and a sustained ability to fund our own growth. those were the only metrics we tracked. in the last 3–4 years, though, i can honestly state that somewhere i lost my path. i started treasuring gmv, room - nights and other ‘vanity’ metrics instead of the fundamentals of cash flow and working capital, ” he explained .
with hunger and discontent spreading among the civilian and military populations of the austro - hungarian empire, a crisis mounts within its government, as hungarian prime minister istvan tisza resigns at the request of the austrian emperor, karl i, on may 22, 1917. a great power in decline when world war i broke ...
'' yes, virginia'' has, of course, outlived its two principals (mr. church died in 1906, virginia in 1971). come christmastime, however, the century club in manhattan, of which mr. church was a member, and the gannett newseum in rosslyn, va. , will offer retrospective displays .
while we certainly made more than seven mistakes during the nearly four - year life of monitor110, i think these top the list .
i agree with you. nobody forced them to choose st. luke’s in the first place, and i assume that they are well aware of the hospital’s rates and standards. it would have helped to pay the bills on a regular basis, say, weekly, so that it won’t pile up .
whereas “the kite runner” focused on fathers and sons, and friendships between men, his latest novel, “a thousand splendid suns, ” focuses on mothers and daughters, and friendships between women. whereas “kite runner” got off to a gripping start and stumbled into contrivance and sentimentality in its second half, “splendid suns” starts off programmatically and gains speed and emotional power as it slowly unfurls .
i learned that a cheap is good, but too cheap is bad. it does little good to avoid burning too fast only to starve yourself of what you need .
focus and simplicity are often more difficult to achieve than building features on top of features on top of features. as a result, too many startups are unfocused. the time required to trim back an idea is not insignificant — said best by mark twain: “if i had more time, i would have written a shorter letter. ”
thanks for the posting this list. i wrote up a very detailed post mortem on my startup, treehouse logic, add it to the list if you like. urltoken
my family is now a third generation client of slmc and i still patronize the them. please give a little of sympathy to the victim and be sensitive enough to send their message to right authority. |
to jomjomjom… i certainly disagree with you. . iam an md of a private hosp in the northern luzon which is at par with st lukes in terms of doctors and facilities and we release the body of our patients who died even though they cant pay their bills yet, not only because we abide by the law but for humanitarian reason that at that situation, who would be ready to pay such amount when what u can only think at that time is the loss you had. i bet you would also agree and fight / argue with the hosp admin if you are in the shoes of mr. rosario .
in addition to a lag in sales, new product challenges arose and pretty soon i began to question myself. with each pitch following that period of doubt—whether it was to a girl at a party or an interested investor—my enthusiasm and perceived confidence dwindled .
when asked, “how’s business? ”, i always replied “i don’t have a business yet, we’re still a startup. ” startups are vulnerable to market financing conditions and events such as what we experienced. this year, 2017, was a particularly harsh year for hardware startups. additionally each day carried the potential of a new existential threat, from product to supplier to market to financing to people to regulatory to competitive .

kevin scheduled a trip to charlotte for his summer break, and elrod sent him several hundred dollars to buy the plane ticket. but mcgregor informed her that the sum ended up being too little because she hadn’t accounted for the dollars - to - pounds exchange rate. “a few days after, i could tell there was concern in duke’s messages, there was a distance there, ” elrod says. “it would take him a couple of minutes to reply. i could tell there was something wrong. and then he told me, ‘i haven’t heard from kevin. ’”
viewed critically, mr. church' s magnum opus is a sentimental mix of tautology, syllogism and fantasy.'' if i saw it cold,'' said the author' s cousin, richard church thompson of gaithersburg, md. ,'' my temptation would be to shorten it up. every time i read it, i get hung up on the word' supernal.'''

i’m sure the ‘victim’ didn’t expect their bill would amount to the millions the very first day he brought his son to st. luke’s. as a parent we only want what’s ‘best’ for our children, even the best healthcare. i understand the hospital needs to be paid but they could have shown some compassion and understanding especially since the family ‘lost’ their son anyway and still have to pay for all the medical expenses. i think charging such a high interest is foul when they are already making a huge profit from what they billed the family .
hospitals here in the us treat uninsured patients, perform needed procedures, and don’t hold their discharge even if they have not paid a dime upfront. the hospital where i work even issue vouchers for their transportation (like taxi) if they don’t have any. i know because i am a nurse working in the icu and we have uninsured patients. it is just sad that in our country, the hospitals still resort to holding the discharge of patients or in the case above, even the remains of the deceased patient to pressure the family to settle the cost of hospitalization. i understand that healthcare is business, but this is just so insensitive .
, albright made no attempt to deny the figure given by stahl–a rough rendering of the preliminary estimate in a 1995 u. n. food and agriculture organization (fao) report that 567, 000 iraqi children under the age of five had died as a result of the sanctions. in general, the response from government officials about the sanctions’ toll has been rather different: a barrage of equivocations, denigration of u. n. sources and implications that questioners have some ideological axe to grind (
), a spec that purportedly sold for a million bucks back in 1997 .
elrod spoke candidly, albeit anxiously, about her relationships with mcgregor and sinclair. she made rambling statements about kevin’s stay in the english hospital, her initial hesitation to send money to nigeria, and her reluctance to keep more than a trifling amount for herself. “say i got $ 2, 000 and i’m sending out $ 1, 900, and after the fee and stuff say there is like $ 30 left, ” she told the cops. “i’d keep the $ 30. ”

that’s just the tip of the iceberg! ! i was a registered nurse to be employed in their facility but i refused because of their bullying attitude, exploitative pay and work conditions, working 12 - 14 hours + + or more with pay as low as p7000 after taxes. and we could almost never take a break! and they threaten for us to pay a huge amount if we get sick or don’t get to work! ! !

i am an rn myself but have not practiced my profession in hospitals since i have witnessed all of these money making schemes. if you don’t know the doctor, they usually suggest you to get so many diagnostic tests and medicines that are not really necessary. they just advise you to get them, so they can make a quick buck. etc etc etc.
