What is the longest prison sentence that has been served and completed?
One of my favorite movies is The Shawshank Redemption. The character "Brooks" served 50+ years and was released after completing his sentence. I’m wondering if there have ever been records of people outliving/completing 60, 70 or 80+ year sentences and released?


Here’s 2:

Jouanna Thiec
Imprisoned at the age of 16, in 1685. Released at 89, in 1758.
Her crime: being a Calvinist in France after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes.
Her entire imprisonment was spent in a single stone cell, 18′x40′, originally shared with over 30 other women, all of whom died there.

Richard Honeck Sent to prison at 19 in Illinois for murder in 1899 and paroled at 85.

On December 20, 1963, at 1:11 P.M., Richard Honeck, an 84 year old inmate of the Menard Branch of the Illinois State Penitentiary, after 64 consecutive years of immurement, walked through the big double gates to his first breath of freedom in the 20th century.

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: In this update of Disney’s masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen’s Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930’s New York City, scored with “Rhapsody in Blue.” Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” set to Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of “Carnival of the Animals.” This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Mickey Mouse and followed by “Pomp and Circumstance” starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, “The Firebird.”

Fire Down Below (1997)

IMDB rating: 4.30

Plot: EPA agent Jack Taggart is Stunned to hear from his boss Phil Pratt that his best friend and fellow agent Frank Elkins has been found dead in Kentucky after Frank’s truck plunged into a river. The Kentucky State Police believes that it was an accident, but the EPA believes it was no accident. It all began with an anonymous letter from the small town of Jackson, Kentucky. Frank was sent to Jackson to investigate what the letter described as some kind of pollution that is causing fish to die and causing people to get sick enough to die. Frank sent back water and soil samples that all tested off the charts for toxic substances. After Frank discovered that the Hanner Coal Company, owned by Orin Hanner Sr., is being paid to dump toxic waste into an abandoned coal mine shaft, Frank ended up dead. Jack is assigned to go to Jackson, where his contact will be Reverend Bob Goodall, who runs a church in Jackson. After arriving in Jackson, Jack finds out that he’ll be staying in a room in the church’s basement, and as Jack’s contact, of course Bob knows that Jack will be going undercover as a carpenter. Jack begins by repairing the roof at a house where he meets Henry Carr, his wife, and his kids Edie, Alberta, Christine, and Walter. Walter is sick because of the pollution. That night, Hanner’s son Orin Hanner Jr., also known as Junior, spies on the church along with corrupt Sheriff Lloyd, who is on Hanner’s payroll. On the next day, when Jack goes into downtown Jackson, he meets Betsy Hamill and her twin sister Patsy Hamill. Jack then walks down the street and introduces himself to Cotton Harry. Then Jack takes some water samples. At church on Sunday, Bob introduces Jack to everyone, and tells everyone that Jack is a carpenter. During lunchtime at the church, Jack introduces himself to Sarah Kellogg, a local outcast who is a beekeeper. Sarah has a brother named Earl. Jack goes to Sarah’s house and offers to repair the steps on her front porch. Over time, Jack comes to believe that something is bothering Sarah, and it’s something dark. Jack wants to save her from whatever it is, while trying to bring Hanner and his crew down.

Wall Marked After Removing Dado Rail?
Hi Guys.
Im doing a bit of DIY in the lounge.
When I moved in to the house there was a dado rail around the middle of the room and the fire place wasn’t centre.
Ive taken down all of the dado rail and brought a beautiful new fire suite.
Only problem is, after removing the dado rail the wall is left with marks where the wall above and below was painted to the dado rail.
The dado was only glued on so it came off easily enough, no screw holes or missing plaster.
I sampled painting a spot, and as expected, the marks can be seen.
So, I tried sanding the "dado area" with an electric sander, then put on a coat of paint, it still seems to be visible.
Will it be hidden if I use lots of coats of paint?
Before I sanded the area, rubbing my hand across the wall, the gap could clearly be feels. But after sanding it, it felt very smooth, so I am surprised that the marks are still showing.

Help with this would be very much appreciated, I want my walls to look as good as possible.

Thanks.


Sanding the walls was a good idea that will help immensely but the marks you are seeing is the glue that soaked into the wall from the dado board, get some primer sealer and paint that on first let dry then paint with your color you might have to use a couple extra coats of paint too.
clean queen | Feb 09, 2010


Paint will not cover it. Buy some ‘lightweight filler’ from any major DIY store. It is very easy to use and requires very little rubbing down. Scrape off any high spots with a sharp scraper. Then lose the remaining imperfections with the filler. Lightly sand with 180 grade production paper. Use matt emulsion if you can as this hides imperfections.
BARRY | Feb 09, 2010


Had a similar prob with glued on pic frames…you need to fine fill it with filler then sand all as one to blend it in, you may need to put 2/3 coats of paint on to finally erase any sign of the rail??

I’ll be back in 10 with the name of a good filler that sands down easily and easy to work with…
Polyfilla one fill )Polycell( What the tradesmen use (thats if your in the U.K.??

Lookout, The (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: An admired high school hockey player (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with a bright future foolishly takes a drive in the night with his girl friend and two other friends with his headlights off with devastating results. The former athlete is left with a brain injury that prevents him from remembering many things for extended periods of time. To compensate, he keeps notes in a small notebook to aid him in remembering what he is to do. He also lives with a blind friend (Jeff Daniels) who aids him. Obviously, with the mental incapacitation, he is unable to have meaningful work. Thus he works as a night cleaning man in a bank. It is there he comes under the scrutiny of a gang planning to rob the bank. The leader (Matthew Goode) befriends him and gets him involved with a young woman (Isla Fisher) who further reels him in. After they get close and after reeling him in with his own failures, the bank plan unfolds. Confused but wanting to escape his current existence, he initially goes along with the scheme. After realizing he is being used, he attempts to stop the robbery, which of course immediately goes awry. Bruce McGill and Alberta Watson also co-star as the young man’s parents, who still search for the person that was there before the tragic crash.

How to handle a job interview?
I am currently on the lookout for a job as I have just completed my diploma studies. I will be 27 years old this year, and basically I have about 4 years of work experience.

I have had difficulties securing jobs since I left my last job in October 2008, which was one of the main reasons why I went on to take up a diploma. Currently, having just started looking for jobs again, I am beginning to worry if my being too quiet/introverted plays a part in my failure to impress my interviewers.

I suppose I could say I’ve been rather passive during interviews, as I seldom seem to take the initiative to be more interactive (eg. show enthusiasm in the job, company, position, etc). Sometimes when the interviewer asks me if I have any questions for them, I usually end up feeling a little stumped as to what to ask and I feel like I want to ask something (to show my interest) but my mind just to have gone blank. Would this mean that I was purely unprepared for the interview?

My character has always been a rather passive, shy, quiet type and socially, I am one who seldom initiates especially when it comes to new people. I am also starting to wonder if I have a lack of confidence. And I feel that all these are causing me to lose out and end up not getting further shortlisted or selected.

What are the typical questions I should/can ask during an interview in order to show the interviewer that I am genuinely interested in the position?

How can I boost my confidence and be more interactive and enthusiastic without thinking to myself "this isn’t me"? Or do I really have to "put on an act" just for the sake of impressing the interviewer by being who I’m not (in a sense)?
