With a handle on the SG&A meaning, let’s dig into how you can use this information for your business.
![]() Damon seems dyspeptic and impatient his Jason Bourne is no longer the wide-eyed youngster trying to recover his soul, just another immortal action hero mowing down bad guys. The ugly truth is there’s just no juice left in the Bourne shtick. His action scenes have no weight or impact watching this movie is like looking into a shattered mirror that somebody reassembled without much care as to what goes where. Paul Greengrass, who co-wrote the script with Christopher Rouse, directs another adrenaline-fueled expedition into the land of Shaky Cam and Hyper Edit. He’s, like, the greatest spy ever, but he can’t even don a fake beard or something? Oh, he’ll put on a hat or take one off, but that’s about it. I also find it weird that Bourne never even makes a passing attempt at disguise. Of course, during the course of the film we witness the CIA cut off the power to a remote hackers’ den in Iceland, activate street cameras as spy cams in Berlin, and tap into a landline phone to use it to wipe a laptop computer sitting a dozen feet away. How scary! He’s even teamed up with a Facebook-like mogul, Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed), to do it without the public’s knowledge. Turns out Dewey’s cooked up a plan for a new program, Iron Hand, which will allow the spooks to monitor everyone, everywhere. ![]() “And Mark’s Secret Santa was Jason, who’s given him… an artificial knee joint to replace the one he crushed in ’03. It’s suggested that Bourne is truly tempted by this but hasn’t he spent the last 15 years killing or crippling CIA agents chasing him? I can only imagine what the office Christmas party would be like. Anyway, in her Bourne finds an unexpected sympathetic ear she wants to bring him back into the CIA fold rather than just take him out. ![]() The Swedish actress speaks in a weird glottal voice that I think is supposed to be Generic American but comes across as Irish with the flu. There’s an inordinate number of car chases in this Bourne outing, most notably a SWAT truck driven by Asset mowing through vehicles on the Las Vegas Strip, with Jason piloting some sleek black Product Placementmobile.Īlicia Vikander is the newbie, Heather Lee, a computer expert who acts as Dewey’s protégé but really sees him as a dinosaur. No, I mean literally, people call him on the phone or one of those spy ear piece thingees and say things like, “Asset, are you in London yet?” We know it’s going to come down to a faceoff between these two, since they’re setting up Asset as Jason’s supposed equal (ha!). There’s also another super-spy on the hunt who’s only referred to as “Asset,” played by Vincent Cassel. Like that his dad was involved in the creation of Treadstone, and the current CIA Director, the reptilian Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), had something to do with his death. He’s already recovered most of his lost memory, but there are a few more tantalizing pieces floating out there. The plot, such as it is, involves Bourne again trying to ferret out the truth of his background as an assassin in the Treadstone Program. Jason appears, the local CIA team… you get the idea. Jason (Matt Damon, grayer and thicker since his last outing nearly a decade ago) appears in Berlin, the local CIA team is sent after him, he leads them on a merry chase on foot and by vehicle, he takes a few out with his super awesome spy skills, and gives the rest the dodge. “Jason Bourne” isn’t so much a single story as a series of chase set pieces played out against international backdrops. (Five, if you count the Bourneless Jason Bourne movie starring Jeremy Renner, and nobody does.) It must be at least 25 percent, based on what we see in the movies, now in their fourth go-round with this self-titled and completely redundant film. ![]() I wonder if the CIA has ever run an analysis of what percentage of their resources are spent just chasing Jason Bourne. ![]() Sometimes he’s seen holding a tomahawk He’s frequently sighted in, around, or on top of the old tunnel at dusk or on overcast days. When exploring the area surrounding Chickies Rock, people report seeing a ghostly Indian figure silently moving through the night on a revengeful mission. Wanunga too has remained forever cursed to haunt the area. Regardless of the version, persistent tales circulate of a Colonial-era dressed white man standing at the summit of Chickies Rock or near the water’s edge below.Įven more frightening are the phantom screams of Wanhuita often heard still today late at night. When she reached the edge of the cliff, rather than be captured, she jumped to her death. In yet another variation of the story, a nameless Indian maiden is being pursued by a group of Indians. ![]() Wanunga killed the man and threw his body from the cliff and then grabbed Wanhuita by the arm and dragged her over the edge. The white man who had been watching from the shadows ran to the aid of his love. Flying into a rage, Wanunga attacked Wahuita. Much to his surprise, Wanhuita rejects him confessing her love for a white man from the nearby village. In this telling, Wanunga takes Wanhuita-who he secretly loves-to the top of Chickies Rock to profess his love after a string of recent victories in battle. In another telling of the story, it’s not an affair but unrequited love that brings on the tragic ending. As they plummeted to their deaths on the jagged rocks 200 feet below, Wanhuita’s screams filled the cold night. He grabbed Wanhuita attempting to throw her over the cliff too but in the struggle, they both tumbled off. After slitting the man’s throat, Wanunga cast the rival’s lifeless body off the cliff’s edge.Īs Wanhuita watched her lover tumble into the dark oblivion, she screamed a heartbreaking, “No!” Furious over this final betrayal, Wanunga lunged at his wife. Wanunga flew into a rage, pulled his tomahawk, and ran at the man, catching the white man off guard, Wanunga repeatedly hacked at him. Adding insult to injury, it was a white man. There in the moonlight, Wanuge’s worse fear was realized as he saw his wife in the arms of another man. Staying in the shadows, he followed Wanhuita up the hill to Chickies Rock. One night he observed Wanhuita sneaking out of the longhouse and decided to follow her. He immediately noticed the lack of interest from Wanhuita and became suspicious. Īfter several weeks, Wanuge returned home. The two would sneak off under the cover of darkness to Chickies Rock for secret rendezvouses. One autumn, several men including Wanunga left on an extended trading expedition with far-off tribes. While he was away, Wanunga’s wife became friendly and eventually fell in love with a nearby white settler. In one version of the story, a young Susquehannock Indian named Wanunga lived there with his beautiful wife named Wanhuita. Lover’s LeapĪrguably the most popular myth involving Chickie Rock is the story of Lover’s Leap. Looking up from the bottom of Chickies Rock. The earliest legends involve the Susquehannocks that once lived in the area. The area is filled with century-plus old stories of ghosts, monsters, and even a curse. Today, the park attracts dog walkers, hikers, and picnickers. The name changed from Chickies Creek in 2002. Technically, it is now called Chiques Creek. In fact, the name Chickies Rock comes from the Lenape word Chiquesalunga meaning “place of the crayfish.” There is a nearby stream with the same name. ![]() Hundreds of years ago, it attracted Native Americans. The rock and surrounding land seem to possess a certain magnetism. Remnants of furnaces, canal walls, and trolley-line grades are still visible today. The area once boasted seven iron furnaces and rolling mills, a canal, and a trolley line. The vista offers impressive views of York County, the borough of Marietta, and farmlands of northwestern Lancaster County. Its most notable feature is the massive outcropping of quartzite rock towering 200 feet above the river. ![]() Located between the boroughs of Columbia and Marietta is Chickies Rock. At over 422 acres, it is the county’s second-largest regional park. ![]() You have to decide how big you want to take the picture to. ![]() The preview image is found under Original image and the rest of the section simply tells you details of the picture, such as image size, file size, printable size in inches and a ppi (pixels per inch) value.Īrguably, the coolest part comes next. There are three sections: Original image, New size and Resize method. Below the large icons, the options are split into cascade tabs. Load an image in and it pops up in the main window as well as a smaller preview image to the left. You can still access them via the traditional means at the top. The main options are listed in big icons, so they're easy to find. In all seriousness, it's important to know how easy a program is to use straight out of the box without reading any guides or tutorials. Being male, though, we got stuck straight in and opened an image. An example image is pre-loaded in to let you play with and get the hang of it. All options are set to the left with a large display pane to the right. Launching PhotoZoom Pro 5 opens the main page. ![]() You can use it as a plug-in if you wish, though. PhotoZoom Pro 5 is a stand-alone program, so you don't have to open any pictures in Photoshop or PSP (Paint Shop Pro) if you use it this way. We were already registered, so missed that out, but if you need to do it, you'll be prompted at the end of installation. Still, installation takes around 5 minutes in total. It's annoying enough when freeware does this, but we didn't expect it from a paid program. Our only gripe is that Avanquest seem to want to put a toolbar and browser on your computer as well as change the default page. We installed PhotoZoom Pro 5 from a CD which is an easy affair. We'll also compare it against the Bicubic Smoother in Adobe Photoshop CS4. In this review, we're going to test PhotoZoom Pro 5, a program that enlarges pictures. Cropping usually means getting rid of a lot of pixels, which then makes the pictures smaller and therefore, more difficult to enlarge. The amount of times we've come home from a day shooting and found that we didn't quite get close enough to the subject, or we didn't frame it precisely enough. Priced at £144.99, PhotoZoom Pro 5 is available as a download from the Avanquest website or as a hard CD. New to the fifth generation model is revised GPU acceleration, profile creation, precision colour previewing and speedy cropping of pictures. PhotoZoom Pro 5 is an image enlargement software program for use with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop Pro. Push desired files without ever connecting the device with a USB cable.
