Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome film, unforgettable performances!
I recommend this film without reservations. I believe it has all the qualifications to be considered a timeless war classic. The script based on a real story will grab you from the beginning and you will get the impression of being there in Amsterdam as the Nazi army approaches. The director did a wonderful job in conveying the feeling of doom that engulfed that city. The performances are all notable, even from bit players, but I take my hat off to Miss Eva Bartok for a most sensitive portrayal which haunts you way after the film ended.
Go for it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superior Unrecognized Historical Thriller
This excellent British historical account of snatching Dutch industrial diamonds out of invading Nazi hands in May 1940 is
based on "Adventure in Diamonds", and I think much better than the book. The decisions and fears of the Dutch and Jewish diamond merchants of Amsterdam are excellently and incisively portrayed,as are the British SAS Major Dillon and his Dutch "assistants",and the "Fifth Columnist" Nazi sympathizers
in the Dutch Army.Eva Bartok is outstanding in her portait of a
Dutch woman helping the small team racing the clock and the Germans to gewt these diamonds, needed for tank, weaponry, and
ammunition production, off to Britain. The black and white film, and the photography, emphasize the mood well, as do the actual
scenery in Ymuiden and Amsterdam. Learn some exciting true history !

I've heard it said by Dave Winer and many many others: if only Dean had reinvested half the money raised into the Internet, then ...

OK, so you're the Dean Campaign Chief Information Officer in August 2003. The money starts to roll in. $20 million over six months, $2-4 million per month.

What would you spend the money on?

  1. What does your monthly budget look like?
  2. What is your application and infrastructure portfolio?
  3. How much will you allocate to maintenance?
  4. You're building from scratch, so what problems do you hope to avoid through wise architecture?
  5. What are your big milestones?
  6. Who are your key vendors?

How do you spend in consonance with the campaign strategy?

  1. How will you use the Internet to bring offline voters into the campaign at the same numbers as radio or television broadcasts?
  2. What is your online strategy for responding to attack ads and opposition pundits in radio, television and print?
  3. Online community takes time to build and is very hard to organize geographically. What will you do to match the state-by-state primary schedule?
  4. What can you do with online services to serve the campaign in caucus states?
  5. You are preparing for Bush to launch in Spring 2004. What are your countermeasures to reach out to moderate Republicans online while the GOP uses its advanced voter email systems to barrage 200 million validated email addresses?
  6. How will you lower the cost-per-vote vs. the GOP?
