The name Allen is a Celtic baby name. In Celtic the meaning of the name Allen is: Harmony, stone, or noble. Also fair, handsome. Originally a saint's name, it was reintroduced to Britain during the Norman Conquest, remained popular throughout the Middle Ages, and was revived in the 19th century. American Meaning:
In software development, a straw man is a crude plan or document that serves as a starting point in the evolution of a project. A straw man is not expected to be the last word; it is refined until a final model or document is created that resolves all issues concerning the scope and nature of the project.
Straw Dogs is a unique feat in the cinematic medium. This is a highly engaging picture with a talented cast and immaculate directing. Straw Dogs is a relentless violent picture that tells the story of a couple who move out to the countryside and they get terrorized by the locals of a nearby village. The plot is very well layered and structured and for me is one of the standout performances of actor Dustin Hoffman along with his role in Rainman.
