Highlander (1986)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: Connor Macleod was born in 1518 in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1536, after facing a mysterious, evil opponent, he survives a fatal stab wound and is banished from his village, for they believe his survival is the work of the Devil. Five years later, Macleod is met by Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, a Spanish swordsman who teaches Macleod the awful truth; he is immortal, one of a race of many who can only die when the head is cut from the body. When one immortal takes the head of another, the loser’s power is absorbed into the winner. Ramirez teaches Macleod the ways of the sword, until Ramirez is tragically killed by Connor’s ultimate opponent, the evil Kurgan, a murderous immortal brute who lusts for the ultimate power of the immortals, “The Prize”; enough power to rule the earth forever. Connor fights his way through the centuries, until the time of the Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the endless battles come together to fight until only one remains, and that winner will receive The Prize. The time: 1985. The place: New York City. The final fight is about to begin, and in the end, there can be only one.

which care should I get? 2010 base Highlander or CR-V ex-l?
both get 20/27 miles per gallon

base 2010 highlander front wheel drive or cr-v ex-l with all wheel drive?

I expect to spend around 25,000, i can get a nicely equip CRV or a base Highlander.

My main concern is safety (i am moving to north) winter and something that is easy for my 5′0 grandma can get in and out of.


You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here - carinsurance.yoll.net

Neither because they both have safety issues with a sticking gas pedal plus all dealers were told not to sell them to the public…………..

who would win in a fight? Huo Yuan Jia or Wong Fei Hung?
yeah who do you guys think would win in a fight between Huo Yuan Jia and Wong Fei Hung… ive read about both of them and seen movies on both of them and they are just both fantastic… i dont think there would be a winner most likely a draw… and for people who dont know who these two are, their kung fu legends.. huo yuan jia was played by jet li in his last wushu movie "Fearless" and Wong Fei Hung was played by alot of different people but most memorable by Jet Li in "Once Upon A Time In China I, II, III," and "Last Hero In China"


who ever has mastered their art the best!

joey | Nov 29, 2008


oooo that’s a tough one. They’re both legendary. I guess Wong Fei Hung.
Jake Lo | Nov 28, 2008


Huo Yaunjia would be my guess. Thier seems to be no documented proof that Wong ever competed in any matches. He was just a practitioner of the art. Now on the other hand, their are proven documents that Huo not only competed, but many of his foes left town or simply chose not to fight the guy. This is all speculation as i’m not really familiar to much with either. just my two cents

I need help! Self esteem issues may be destroying relationship?
So, I have this problem with feeling ugly all the time. My boyfriend is so prefect that it scares me he’ll find someone else because I’m not beautiful enough… We’ve been together for nine months now and we’ve been planning out our future, which is coming at us so quickly. We’ve planned out our careers, where we’re going to college, ect… I’m afraid I’ll lose it all just for the simple fact I’m ugly. We’re so in love, well he says he’s in love w/ me, but I’m in love w/ him. It’ll be hard if I lose him. He tells me I’m beautiful all the time and how I’m the most gorgeous girl alive, how no ones more perfect, how I should be a model… How I have a beautiful personality, how I have a huge heart, how I’m so nice to everyone which makes me even more beautiful… blah blah blah… That stuff is so sweet and nice! & I appreciate it so much and it does cheer me up, however at the end of the day I’m back to being scared.

I have this HUGE hatred for his ex’s Ashley and Kathryn… They text him all the time! They keep in touch with him! Supposedly he doesn’t reply/answer to them though. Hm… I’m getting fed up. I feel as if he still wants them b/c I’m not pretty enough.

I had a conversation w/ his ex Kathryn a couple months ago b/c she send him nudes. I told her a whole bunch of stuff and she said this,

"It’s not my fault you’re boyfriend comes to me ’cause he says he’s lonely & plus he asked for the pictures. You can have your cheating boyfriend! You say he’s faithful but obviously he’s not. It makes me mad when girls being cheated on don’t realize it or in denial. I want to beat your a ss right now. He doesn’t love you, or even like you, he never even mentions you. I actually just found out he had a g/f."

That hurt and I didn’t know what to believe, I thought she was jealous of our relationship, then I thought it was true, I have so many mixed feelings.

Anyways I need help! Am I overreacting? Do I have anything to worry about? How can I get over this?… I’ve put up w/ this for too long now…

If you’re curious, here’s me:

Here’s him:
http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af32 9/mexicana_022/123.jpg

Honestly it doesn’t matter if you think I’m pretty, or even if I think it. Right now, it’s about what he thinks, which is why I’m worried.

YES I AM DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.


ok both of you are fine if you think your that ugly do something about..like get a new outfit or hairstyle watever
and tell him how you feel about the ex situation and if he can;t repect that dont waste your time

Why so many cover songs by Filipina singers?
There are many very talented singers in the Philippines but it seems like they mostly perform songs already famous by western artists, such as Beyonce and Christina Aguilera. Do you believe performers, such as Toni Gonzaga and Sarah Geronimo, would have greater success and international appeal if they sang more original songs instead of covers of popular songs?


i think the main reason is Money. Composing new songs is a huge risk with music producers. With the Philippine’s obvious colonial mentality, we would rather listen to songs we are most familiar with– that’s american music. It’s a proven recipe, but if you ask me, i hate it. Another factor is music piracy, that’s why most "performers" (i would rather call them performers because they don’t compose their own music, they’re not artists by my opinion) earn more with live performances than CD sales. They can sing more songs by covering other artists, and people still flock to their mini-concerts.

Just an opinion

What do you think of Lil Waynes "Rebirth"?
If you have gotten it, that is. Honestly, I was expecting something totally different. I was expecting it to sound like Tha Carter III a little bit. Not totally of course, but it kinda threw me off guard. I’m a pretty big Lil Wayne fan and I’m a bit disappointed.

What do you think of it? Did you like it? And if you don’t like Lil Wayne, then theres no need to be rudee.

Thoughts on this poem of mine? It's a continuation of a previous poem?
With glittering entourage, all those holy mouths at once
lifted up in unending praise, this angel held me by the hem
of my threads, yet lifted me as though I were the clouds
he so mightily leapt upon. His face shone with the power
of He on high mount, enthroned and encircled by a vast host,
ageless throats ever raised in adulation. Masculine was this angel’s
smile, and with ease he held gilded horn while with me he flew,
and braced all winged terrestrials armed, with his song,
that indeed this fleet-footed general of innumerable horde
sprang hence, past their assembled watch.
His face did shine as gold, with self-assurance
only the servants under Sovereign throne can claim.
And the planets bowed in their celestial routes,
demurring to a star that flew more swiftly and burned more mightily
than they.

And they called out with sole voice, saying:
"Whence, O fleet messenger of our creator’s chosen fleet,
swift admiral of ethereal oceans, lieutenant of bristling host,
marked for slightest dissent, that we so lowly must defer
to your sire’s vast court, high up where not the slightest
offense goes without swift reprimand. Once we rose in formation,
and demanded piously for our hand in Man’s unenviable position;
so that we may celebrate in their many chapters,
and reap the benefits of their labors. With haughty swiftness,
fair Lord’s tongue lashed us hence, to languish in our present image
and steady course. Now we center our path on His mortal ball,
never to intervene or indulge in mischief; such was our pleasure.
Banished are we, great helm. What word do you bring from
yonder kingdoms? How fares Man?"

And as they finished their report, I felt the weight of these late gods
imprisoned, and their wrath I bore the brunt of; I grew disheartened,
that I prayed for death. And before my eyes black stars began to erupt,
cascading thickly through my mouth and eyes, and I grew frightened,
and began to lash out blindly at my aggressors. Their eternal patience
reigned, ’til at last I slumped wearily against my protector’s chest.
At last, I heard his lilting speech ring:
"What spell have you cast? Unbind him, at once!
Him I hold as my charge, and his mortality knows bounds.
Relinquish your dastardly hand, or I shall cleave you lot
from the arching paths you lead, and let you fade into the abysmal
Dark that blankets this vastness, never to find your way."
And I felt their malice diminished, and clung to my angel
as a babe would newborn, wailing and gasping for first breath.

So spake the Eight:
"Why, gentle ox, do you bear a son of Adam?
Why do you cradle him, do you not know
that he is sole inheritor to his sin?
His downfall is marked, and we observe it now;
drop him, unless more tortorous acts our Father hath bestowed?
Perhaps to celestial islet where naught but the stony remnants
of rebellious men and angels divine lie stricken
at Gorgon’s door? To toil ceaselessly under sisyphean decree?
What, dear seraph, is to be this sinner’s punishment,
that he drew the wrath of God? Part with your words,
O Michael, He have no ear here."
Eagerly these celestial titans gathered, anchored as they were
by their given orbit, for my guardian’s telling.

Instead, fair Michael returned with lawful restraint:
"Such lewdness! Heaven just, to deem you all unfit
for compassion toward mankind. No word from me,
but if continued you resist my onward path,
pious rage adorned with empirical flame shall rain
from lofty sentinels perched along enforced battlement
in Heaven’s distant tower, beyond your sight.
And same fate as He who rose up with envy,
cast down in brutal shackles down tortorous shaft
you shall bear, if you do not allow fair passenger and I
to wing through rightful passage, which you now serve as barriers to,
mere naysayers and knaves to the greater vision of our Lord’s.
No punishable crime has this mortal done,
save to be born as Adam’s son."

And with reluctance in their empyreal limbs,
and envy burning in their hearts,
these great celestial bodies did submit to archangel’s charge,
and yielded that starry pass.
And onward I was flown.


hello again! wow you are busy writing poetry! i think this is a continuation of a poem i read in resolved questions. anywho! this is a very long poem, and it tends to be a bit difficult to stay interested to put it bluntly. i’m not very good at euphemisms! i think the poem is good but it sort of reads more like a story that you have put into poetry format. good luck with your future writing. sorry that it was kinda ambiguously critical.

Word Problems need assistance?
These word problems were on my last test and I know I didn’t get them right, but it’s bothering me that I don’t know the answers. Can you please show me how you came to your conclusions. (I don’t recall the exact wording but what I do remember is close)

1. Paul and Art work for a manufacturing company. Together they worked a total of 70 hours. Paul worked 6 hours less than 3 times what Art worked. How many hours did each of them work?

2. Cecilia and her sister rake Mrs. Simon’s yard. It takes Cecilia 5 hours to rake the yard by herself. It takes her sister 8 hours. How many hours would it take them to rake Mrs. Simon’s yard if they did it together.

3. The difference between two numbers is 14. The larger number is 3 times the smaller one. What are the two numbers. (I’m not completely sure this is right)

4. Bob was 25 years old when his daughter was born. He is now 5 years older than twice his daughters age. How old is Bob and his daughter.


1. A + (3A-6) = 70
4A -6 = 70
A= 19

2. 1/T = 1/C + 1/S
= 1/5 + 1/8
= 13/40

T= 40/13 = 3 1/13

3. 3S- S = 14
2S= 14
s=7
B= 3S = 3×7= 21

4. B= 25 + D
B= 5 + 2D
25 + D = 5 + 2D
20=D
B=25 + 20 = 45
Goddess of Grammar | Jan 29, 2010


1.
P=Paul’s hours
A=Art’s hours

Together, they worked 70 hours, so:
P + A = 70

Paul worked 6 hours less than 3xArt, so:
3A = P - 6
P = 3A-6

Putting those equations together:
(3A-6) + A = 70
4A+6 = 70
4A = 76
A = 19

We now know Art worked 19 hours, so:
P+19 = 70
P = 51

2.
Cecilia rakes at a rate of 1/5 yard per hour
Her sister rakes at a rate of 1/8 yard per hour
The yard is 1 unit

Cecilia’s rate + her sister’s rate would take how many hours to complete one yard unit?
(1/5 + 1/8)yard/hour x (X Hours) = 1 yard
(8/40 + 5/40)yard/hour x X hours = 1 yard
13/40 yard/hour x X hours = 1 yard
X hours = (1) / 13/40
X hours = 40/13
X = 3.08

3.
X = 1st number (larger)
Y = 2nd number (smaller)

given: X - Y = 14

given: X = 3Y

so:
3Y - Y = 14
2Y = 14
Y = 7

because X - Y = 14, and Y = 7…
X - 7 = 14
X = 21

4.
B = Bob’s age
D = Daughter’s age

We know Bob is 25 years older than his daughter, because he was 25 when she was born, so:
B = D + 25

He is now 5 years older than twice his daughter’s age, so:
B = 2D + 5

Putting the 2 equations together,
2D + 5 = D + 25
D = 20

B = 2D + 5
B = 2 (20) + 5
B = 40 + 5
B = 45
