Plot
In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley visits astrophysicist Satnam Tsurutani in India and learns that neutrinos from a huge solar flare are heating Earth's core. Helmsley presents his information to White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser, who brings him to meet the president.
The following year, U.S. President Thomas Wilson and other world leaders begin a secret project to ensure the survival of humanity. China and the G8 nations begin building nine arks, each capable of carrying 100,000 people, in the Himalayas near Cho Ming, Tibet. Nima, a Buddhist monk, is evacuated and his brother Tenzin joins the ark project. Funding is raised by selling tickets at €1 billion per person. By 2011, articles of value are moved to the arks with the help of art expert and First Daughter Laura Wilson.
In 2012, struggling Los Angeles science-fiction writer Jackson Curtis is a chauffeur for Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson's former wife Kate and their children Noah and Lilly live with Kate's boyfriend, plastic surgeon and pilot Gordon Silberman. Jackson takes Noah and Lilly camping in Yellowstone National Park. When they find an area fenced off by the Army, Jackson and his children climb over the fence. They are caught and brought to Adrian, who has read Jackson's books. After they are released they meet conspiracy theorist Charlie Frost, who hosts a radio show from the park.
That night, after the military evacuates Yellowstone, Jackson watches Charlie's video of Charles Hapgood's theory that polar shifts and the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar predict a 2012 phenomenon and the end of the world as we know it. According to Charlie, anyone who attempted to inform the public was killed. Soon after Jackson and his children return home, earthquakes begin in California; Jackson heeds Charlie's warning, and rents a private plane. He rescues his family as the Earth-crust displacement begins, causing a 10.9 magnitude earthquake, and Jackson and his family escape from Los Angeles by air as the city collapses and sinks into the Pacific Ocean, killing millions of residents.
They fly to Yellowstone to retrieve a map from Charlie with the arks' location. As they leave, the Yellowstone Caldera erupts; Charlie is killed when he stays behind to cover the eruption. The group lands in Las Vegas to find a larger plane and meet Yuri, his twin sons Alec and Oleg, his girlfriend Tamara and their pilot Sasha. Sasha and Gordon fly them out in an Antonov An-500 as the Yellowstone ash cloud envelops Las Vegas. An attempted refueling stop in Hawaii is abandoned after seeing the islands consumed by flows of lava as a result of the erupting volcanos.
Adrian, Carl, and Laura fly to the arks on Air Force One. Knowing that his daughter will survive, President Wilson remains in Washington, D.C. to address the nation for the last time while millions of people die in earthquakes and megatsunamis worldwide, including himself. With the presidential line of succession gone, Carl assumes the position of acting commander-in-chief.
When Jackson's group reaches China, their plane runs out of fuel. Sasha continues flying the plane as the others escape on a Bentley Continental Flying Spur stored in the cargo hold. Sasha is killed when the plane crashes, and the others are spotted by Chinese Air Force helicopters. Yuri and his sons (who have tickets) are brought to the arks and the Curtis family, Tamara and Gordon are left behind as Sasha and Tamara were having an affair. The remaining group is picked up by Nima and brought to the arks with his grandparents. With Tenzin's help, they stow away on Ark 4, where the U.S. contingent is located. As a megatsunami breaches the Himalayas and approaches the site, an impact driver lodges in the ark-door gears. This keeps a boarding gate open, which prevents the ship's engines from starting. In the ensuing chaos, Yuri, Tamara, and Gordon are killed. Tenzin is injured, the ark begins filling with water and is set adrift. Jackson and Noah dislodge the tool and the crew regains control of the Ark before it strikes Mount Everest. Jackson is reunited with his family and reconciles with Kate.
Twenty-seven days later, the waters are receding. The arks approach the Cape of Good Hope, where the Drakensberg (now the tallest mountain range on Earth) is emerging. Adrian and Laura begin a relationship, and Jackson and Kate rekindle their romance.

Miniature temple that consists of a large three tier granite base surmounted by ten Tuscan columns of Portland stone. The columns support an entablature and a covering slab that houses a marble sarcophagus. It is one of the most prominent monuments in Mount Jerome Cemetery.
I am familiar with Mount Jerome Cemetery as I lived beside its outer wall for two years (1981/82) and two of my grandparents are buried in there.
I cannot understand why my grandparents chose to be buried in Mount Jerome as it was, at the time, a depressing place relative to other locations that they could have chosen. In fact, as my grandfather was involved in the 1916 rising it is surprising that he was not buried in Glasnevin.
After my grandmother's funeral a very old uncle of mine described the graveyard as "an excellent advertisement for cremation" (back then Irish Catholics did not consider cremation an option). It is therefore somewhat ironic that as the result of the opening of a Crematorium in 2000 revenues have recovered and the Cemetery has undergone a complete reversal of fortune.
When I lived in the area the graves were often vandalised and at night a group of children would steal flowers from the graves in order to re-sell them the next day.
As Mount Jerome was established during the Victorian era, the monuments featured in some of my photographs are a materialistic expression of the success of the Victorian middle classes from that period.
Without doubt, Mount Jerome Cemetery the finest collections of Victorian memorials, tombs, vaults and crypts in Ireland.
Due to the declining burial numbers in the 1970's, the condition of the Cemetery began to deteriorate as revenues fell. In 1984 it was put into voluntary liquidation. By the late 1990's, it had fallen into a serious state of neglect with large swaths of the cemetery covered in overgrowth.

Town businessman John Cusack was behind the plan for the Cockermouth History Wall in Old Kings Arms Lane, off Main Street.
It is made up of eight-feet panels covered with script and images depicting 15 events, places or figures in Cockermouth’s history.
It includes facts about Papcastle’s Roman fort, poet William Wordsworth, Jennings Brewery, M-Sport and the 2009 floods.
Mr Cusack was inspired to create the wall after reading the late Bernard Bradbury’s book The History of Cockermouth. He has had help from Cockermouth History Group.
Lord Melvyn Bragg and his wife Cate Haste officially unveiled the wall at the weekend.
Mr Cusack said: “We have had some very positive feedback.
“We don’t have a great number of tourist attractions in the town apart from Wordsworth House and the brewery so I think this will attract more people.
“It is the icing on the cake as far as Cockermouth is concerned after the rebuilding of the town because it is a free tourist attraction.
“But it is also educational and I hope many townspeople as well as schools will use the wall to learn important historical facts.”
Lord Bragg, novelist and broadcaster is a local lad, born in Wigton a handful of miles away, he is also President of Keswick's wonderful Literary Festival: Words By the Water, temporarily abandoned for this visit to Cockermouth.

So. I'm in Safeway today, and I overhear some kid in the snack aisle (where I'm headed for -- oddly enough -- snacks) dissing some treat on the basis of its ingredients.
"... lard, and salt!" I hear. "That's, like... the most American snack you could possibly have!"
I headed up to listen in a little more closely, and when I come around the corner I'm confronted by an Amish kid -- I swear to god! Hat, black suit and all! Okay, so he's not actually Amish, but he looks it. At this point, I start to curse myself for not having my camera handy: the kid looks like a serious joker. He's about six-one, bean-pole thin, and practically hopping from foot to foot as he goes on excitedly with this tirade against snack food (he's clutching Bugles now as he rants to his friend), and of course he's in this Amish get-up, and I really want to take his picture for one of the 52's I wanted to do in my 365÷52 Photo Project -- the now-abandoned idea of "52 Strangers."
But as I'm approaching, I realise he might not entirely qualify as "a stranger" since the chick he's talking to is a friend and former student, Nina. So I come over and chat, and Nina introduces me to her Amish friend Matt (who's not actually Amish), and I ask what snack he was going on about.
Matt reaches to the shelf and lifts up a bag of Old Dutch Bac'n Puffs. "Look at this! Read the ingredients --"
"Pork rinds, lard --"
"-- lard and salt!"
"Well, junk food doesn't really deserve the bad rap it gets," I start, remembering one of my favourite films...
_______
Yeah, I know, you all would rather have a picture of Matt the Amish Kid. Well so would I. I'm sorry the "52 Strangers" idea just isn't panning out. I will still take part in the "100 Strangers" group, just not as a part of my 365 this year.
_______
By the way, if you've never seen The Sure Thing, you really ought to. It features a young Tim Robbins in one of his first movie roles -- in the pork rinds scene, oddly enough!
He plays Gary Cooper -- but not the Gary Cooper who's dead.

McKeag became involved in 'C' Company of the lower Shankill - the most active unit of the UDA - around 1989, heading his own section of the company which was a hit squad (other sections concentrating on drug-dealing, money laundering and similar activities). According to Henry McDonald and Jim Cusack, the UDA gave an annual "Volunteer of the Year" award to the organisation's top hitman. The award, presented on the Shankill Road and usually consisting of a trophy in the form of a model gun and plaque made by loyalists prisoners, was dominated by McKeag from 1990 onwards and helped to ensure that he became known as "Top Gun" both to his UDA comrades and his republican opponents. In all, the RUC estimated that McKeag was responsible for at least 12 killings, although the figure was placed higher by a number of his former paramilitary associates.
One of McKeag's earliest attacks occurred on 11 March 1990 when he shot and killed Eamon Quinn outside his Kashmir Road home in the Clonard district of the Falls Road, beginning a long campaign of sectarian killings by the UDA. On 31 July he was behind a similar attack on the Springfield Road, where Catholic John Judge was killed after being shot five times by McKeag and his unit. This was followed on 16 October by the killing of Dermot McGuinness in Rosapena Street in north Belfast. Another victim was Seamus Sullivan, the son of former Belfast City Council member Jim Sullivan of the Workers' Party, killed on 4 September 1991 at the council depot on Springfield Avenue where he worked. Lawrence Murchan, a shopkeeper who was killed by McKeag and his unit on St James's Road on 28 September was the 2000th person to be killed during The Troubles. This was followed on 14 November by an attack on the Devenish Arms in Finaghy, resulting in the death of civil servant Aidan Wallace and wounding an 8 year old boy who lost an eye. Following his killing of Catholic shop worker Philomena Hanna at a chemists near the Springfield Road on 28 April 1992, eyewitnesses reported that as McKeag and his driver sped back to the Shankill via Lanark Way they shouted and sang his favourite song, 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' from The Wizard of Oz. Other UDA members later confirmed that the Yellow Brick Road was McKeag's nickname for Lanark Way, a street linking the Shankill and Springfield roads and favoured by loyalist hitmen as an escape route from republican west Belfast. An attack on 14 November 1992, launched by McKeag, under the orders of Johnny Adair, on a branch of Sean Graham's bookmakers on the Oldpark Road left three Catholics dead and a number of others, including some Protestants who also frequented the betting shop, injured.

Now I know how Howard Carter felt when he walked into King Tut's tomb and discovered one of the greatest archeological finds ever.
Here, in Galesburg,IL, this recently uncovered ghost signs for Henry George/Bull Durham cigars/tobacco shows magnificent detail, brilliant colors, and a peek into advertising not seen in probably 100 years. This sign was painted by a company based out of Chicago,IL (Thomas Cusack Signs) and their logo is partially visible in the lower left corner below the bearded gentleman.
Let's hope whoever owns the property will do what they can to preserve this classic sign.

My apologies for the delay, but I have been very busy writing a new Constitution for the United Arab Emirates that I had been commissioned to do by George Carlin. Anyway, that’s another story for another day, let’s get down to business.
Ivan Cusack is the father of the actors John and Joan Cusack. He was never the best father, and he would be the first to admit as such, but he did try his best, given his rather unorthodox upbringing. He was raised on a farm by a deranged 80 year old gentleman who had escaped a mental institution and kidnapped Ivan from a local orphanage. He forced Ivan to eat spiders while doing jumping jacks every day for breakfast. He put him on a rocking horse and pushed him down a ski slope in Colorado. He forced Ivan to brush his teeth using molten metal. He made Ivan serve roast beef to a tornado. After Ivan turned 17, he decided to strangle his father with a piano wire, and that was that.
Today, Ivan lives in a house that was bought for him by his son John. Ivan however is never quite satisfied. He calls John every day and screams at him about the cold water in the bath tub. At least once a week he convinces John to come down to his house to “fix” his bath tub by turning on the hot water, a procedure that Ivan has yet to understand.
Right now Ivan is locked in a complicated legal proceeding with his daughter Joan, who he thinks should exit show business due to her failure to match up to the success of her brother. He insists that she become a professional synchronized swimming instructor so that she may one day perform with a team of unicorns in front of the President of Nicaragua.
