Singing, poetry are gospel of 'Trombones'
Musical adaptation of praise poems is imperfect but stirring
Put trombones and musical theater together and what might first come to mind is "The Music Man."
But "God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse" doesn't feature even one of those jaunty brass instruments (much less 76 of them).
What it does have, in the Ira Aldridge Repertory Players' sprawling and stirring musical adaptation of James Weldon Johnson's "song sermons," is seven preachers, 11 dancers, dozens of singers and a whole lot of soul.
"God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse"
Ira Aldridge Repertory Players
When: 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays; 3 p.m. Sundays. Through March 11.
Where: Educational Cultural Complex, 4343
Tickets: $25 (discounts available)
Phone: (619) 283-4574

Although IARP founder and artistic director Calvin Manson's performance troupe might be best-known for its stage meditations on the lives of such artists as Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Ruth Brown, "God's Trombones" is less a play than a loosely connected collection of biblical storytelling, poetry and praise music.
Manson, who adapted and directed the piece, incorporates eight works from the influential scholar, artist and activist Johnson's 1927 book of poems. (The "trombones" in the title refers to Johnson's likening of folk preachers' rhetorical style to the wide-ranging sound of the instrument.)
But Manson also salts in some numbers of his own, such as the blues-infused "Welcome to Babylon," a cautionary tale about the temptation of a Prodigal Son (played by the silky-voiced Benjamin Roy). The show, produced in partnership with the Educational Cultural Complex, is filled out with some familiar gospel tunes and spirituals — "Amazing Grace" and "Were You There They Crucified My Lord?" among them.
It's a huge undertaking (hard to imagine that Manson rehearsed much of the show in his own cozy living room), and while some of it could be tightened and made more cohesive, it still serves as a rich sampling of songs and stories from the African-American tradition.
Much of the show's vocal power comes from the San Diego County Gospel Music of America Choir, which delivers "We Come to Praise the Lord," "The Fire Next Time" and others in vivid, revival-meeting style. (The latter incorporates a catchy refrain from Ohio Players' "Fire" as well as a bass line that evokes LTD's '77 R&B hit "Back in Love.")
The Bayview Baptist Church Gospel Dance Troupe and CAC Dance Theatre contribute some gracefully choreographed visual accompaniment, and the vocal quintet Redeemed weighs in with a taste of doo-wop.
One drawback of the show's venue: The gospel singers are set so far back from the edge of the stage (at least in the first act) that it takes some doing for them to connect with the audience, and get them where this music is best enjoyed — out of the seats and on the feet.

text: At just over 45 minutes, 2005's "Human After All" was Daft Punk's shortest album. It's also the only one not to have gone gold. Perhaps in response, the 75-minute "Random Access Memories" is the French electronic act's longest yet. There's definitely an epic heft to it, aided by a deep, varied bench of guest talent, from Pharrell Williams (on the rubbery snap-funk of "Get Lucky," burning up pop radio as you read this) and the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, to disco kingpins Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder, to Muppets songsmith and '70s curio Paul Williams, whose soft croak imparts a frail sincerity to "Touch." Me Decade touches abound — Steely Dan electric piano here, Motown strings there, smooth bedroom pop several places — but they're given a substantial update. In "Giorgio by Moroder," the famed producer narrates his tale to a beat, chanking guitar and staccato keyboard line recalling his work before blossoming into a more advanced form of clubby synth-pop closer to Ladytron — who are, after all, Moroder's musical descendants. And in the closing "Contact," an Apollo 17 transmission sets up a mathematical keyboard line playing against a full-chord organ while live drums crash and roll in a hyperspace rush that sends "Random Access Memories," and Daft Punk, back to the future.

Services » Responsive WebsitesSince the middle of 2014, the use of mobile devices to access websites has exceed that of desktop and laptop use. The growth of the Internet via mobile devices is massive and keeps growing year on year.
Still only about 40% of websites have been optimised to work well on mobile devices despite the huge use. This means that businesses who still run what we call a PC style website are potentially missing out on lots of business.
Why? Try looking at a website that has not been optimised for mobile use using a mobile phone. What you see is a compressed version of what you would see if you were looking at the site on a PC. In order to find what you are looking for, you need to expand the page and scroll around. Annoying isn't it? That's why most people that visit sites that aren't mobile friendly quickly leave the site and look elsewhere, meaning the site owner loses out on potential business.
The modern way of building websites is to make them "Responsive". Responsive websites detect the type of browser you are using and adjusts the style of the website to fit it perfectly. The style may be slightly different to the PC version, with the navigation menu in particular being set up differently but it will be simple to use, images and text will be displayed in the correct resolution so they are clear and it will mean no need to expand the page to see what you want.
Every site that we build nowadays is responsive, there is no point in building them so they are only suitable on certain devices.
Take a look at some of the sites we have built recently. It's worth viewing them on a mobile and on a PC to see the difference.

The community came together Veterans Day weekend to treat a group of wounded warriors and their significant others to a few days of relaxation.
The 501c3 organization, Wounded Warrior Anglers, Inc., treated 14 wounded warriors, two of which were boat captains, to a day out on the water fishing Nov. 12. Some of their caregivers were also treated to a day of relaxation at Spa 33 in Matlacha.
The group stayed at Anglers Inn while they were in town Sunday and Monday night. Eddie Barnhill Jr. provided a meal for the wounded warriors at The Seafood Spot in Matlacha Sunday night and Olde Fish House Marina Operating Manager Lisa Dence provided them breakfast before they went out fishing Monday morning as well as before they left Tuesday morning.

Caregiver Whitney Lyle had her nails done by Spa 33 Nail Technician Carrie Barnhill Nov. 12 during the Wounded Warrior Anglers, Inc. outing.
A fish fry was held Monday afternoon at the Olde Fish House Marina of what the guys caught while they were out fishing.
Spa 33 closed its doors Monday to treat six caregivers to a day of pampering. The girls traveled from one station to the next to receive manicures, facials, make-up and their hair done, as well as a massage. The girls were also treated to lunch, which was delivered from the Olde Fish House Marina.
Linda Downes, a Pine Island resident, was among the caregivers treated last week.
"I feel amazing," she said after she received the various different services.
Downes has been with her husband, Travis, for 15 years. She said they got together before Travis joined the Army and remained together during and after.
"I wouldn't trade it for the world," Downes said, adding that they made it through thick and thin together.
Her favorite part about the spa day was the massage because the knots went away that she was feeling and was replaced with pure relaxation.
The day at the spa showed her that she should treat herself as well, which she plans to do.
Sherrieann Torres traveled to Matlacha for the weekend with her husband, Frankie, from Land O'Lakes, Fla. The couple has been together for 22 years.
Her husband was in the Army for 19 1/2 years before he medically retired. Frankie was injured in 2004 and retired from the military in 2006, due to brain, neck, back and left leg injuries.
The injuries occurred when he was leaving from Jordan into Iraq and got hit with an IED.
While Frankie was deployed, Sherrieann said she would keep herself busy by volunteering at the school and getting involved in the PTO.
"It kept me busy," she said.
Sherrieann is Frankie's main caregiver, which she said can be stressful at times, but they find ways to work through it. She said since he got involved in the VA, Frankie has been doing better due to the daily recreational therapy.
She, too, said she would not trade anything for the world. She said since her husband's retirement she has missed her military family because they are a real family.
Monday was a true treat for Sherrieann because she had never received a massage before.
"It was very good," she said, smiling.
The day of relaxation at the spa while her husband went fishing touched Sherrieann.
"This has been excellent," she said. "I so appreciate it."
Delayna Harris traveled to the island from Gainesville with her husband, Gary, a Navy veteran, who she has been with for 12 years. When asked about her husband, she replied, "he is my hero."
While Delayna's husband saved a pilot's life, he was injured when fell off the plane and underwent nine months of rehab, which gave him the ability to walk.
Through it all, Delayna has been the caregiver, which has been hard and frustrating at times.
"All that he has sacrificed for my freedom, it's worth it," she said.
Delayna said her husband was excited about the outing for the simple fact that it included her this time.
"This is awesome," she said of Spa 33 treating her to a day of relaxation. "I have never been to a spa, it's really nice and relaxing."
The day was even more special because she had the opportunity to leave the kids at home.
Lisa Scott, who is from Sarasota, also joined the women at the spa. Her husband, Chris, a Navy veteran, was stationed with the Marines. While in the Navy he was hit with a roadside bomb that injured his neck and back on Jan. 8, 2008, in Iraq.
Lisa said now that Chris is medically retired from the Navy, he stays home with their soon-to-be 3-year-old daughter while she goes to Iberia Bank where she is a universal banker.
"I'm glad I got a taste of the military and the lifestyle," she said, because she met a lot of great people while they were stationed in North Carolina.
Lisa thought the day at the spa was awesome because it provided time for her.
"I used to do this all the time, but between work and being a mom" she said she does not have time to fit it in anymore.
Tampa resident Whitney Lyle participated in the weekend of relaxation with her boyfriend, Tito Williams ,who was in the Marines Corps for 10 years and did two tours in Iraq.
She said while he was in the Marines, he was diagnosed with cancer and ended up having reconstruction on both of his feet.
"It's a big responsibility," Lyle said of being his caregiver. "Especially the emotional side."
Although the responsibility is large, she said it is very rewarding.
"When you love someone you are willing to do whatever," Lyle said.
She also works at the VA facility in Tampa because she grew up around the VA when she was younger due to many of her family members being in the military.
"I feel like all my patients are like my grandparents," she said because of the stories that she hears.
The guys fishing meant a lot more to Lyle because it is rewarding to see her boyfriend happy.
"I am happy for him," she said. "It's more rewarding to watch him."
Once the guys returned from their fishing trip, a special ceremony was held for them at the Olde Fish House Marina. A flag from each branch of the service, along with the American flag and the POW/MIA flag, was brought in by motorcycle for each of the wounded warriors to put in its stand.
Cape Coral Mayor John Sullivan also spoke at the intimate ceremony.
"I always love to spend time with the veterans,' he told the crowd. "We would not have our lifestyle, if you will, if it wasn't for our veterans. Everything you have done is appreciated, oversees as well."
Judy and Dave Souders, founders of Wounded Warrior Anglers Inc., also spoke.
"We are so blessed by all of you and our veterans," Judy said. "Once something is blessed you can't stop it."
David said it's nice to see your vision come to fruition.
Christopher Martin said he had a blast while out on the water, especially since he was the first to catch a fish on the boat, which was a shark.
"When you fish it takes your mind off of everything else," the Tampa resident said.
He said the trip was very therapeutic and he would do it again.
Martin was in the Marines for six years before he got out in 2004.
"I made new friends, it was really worthwhile," he said. "I'm glad I was invited."
Chris said it meant a lot to be able to get out on the water with other warriors.
"I feel great," he said. "It kind of takes the pain away a little bit, takes your mind away."
Chris said it meant a lot that a town was so supportive of them.
Frankie agreed that although he was in pain on Monday, going out on the boat was a good distraction.
"This is the best time I have had fishing," he said. "I had a good day, everyone has been kind and generous.'
Frankie said he was thankful for the weekend he had, adding that it was nice to have a community that was so supportive of them.

Oooooh, a fresh new private label at Ooh la la Boutiques
As superstorm Sandy bore down on three of her five stores, Ooh la la Boutiques owner Jenny Montiglio had a choice to make. Go forward with a private label that she had in the works, or forget about it, and take care of the issues .?.?. many .?.?. at hand.
Montiglio, 35, a Babylon resident, opted in for the private label despite significant economic strain caused by physical damage to her boutiques in Babylon and Long Beach, and on Fire Island. This month, she proudly introduced her own Ooh la la label, adding it to the chain's sassy fashion mix of brands that include Blank, Tano, Seychelles, Indah and BB Dakota.
So why a private label? Montiglio, who opened the first of her stores seven years ago, said, "Before I had the stores, I spent seven years in the garment industry in production, and a private label allows us to keep it structured and offer the customer easy, affordable prices."
The new Ooh la la collection is comprised of more than 50 products including dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, shirts and sweaters with prices that range from $18 - $100, many with a flirty-meets-trendy vibe.
Montiglio thought long and hard about the store's customers during the design process. Who are they? "They are from ages 20 to 60 -- young professionals to moms to grandmas," she said. Based on a sampling of "celeb" shoppers this seems to be true. Notables include Jill Zarin, formerly of Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York City," Lohan mother-daughter team Dina and Aliana, and Jenni Farley, aka JWoww. Montiglio believes the store's tagline sums it up, "sexy, hip, funky, feminine and gorgeous."
Definitely worth checking out, there are Ooh la la locations in Long Beach, Babylon, Sayville and Huntington. Ocean Beach on Fire Island will be opening up sometime in May. For more information and addresses go to oohlalaboutiques.com.

I chose Ian Kinsler today. He was the best choice for my streak to continue. Reasons for this are what I like to see when he is at home. He just seems like a much better player in Arlington than if this was at Oakland, no matter what the stats say.
Imagine people who took Ellsbury. Red Sox get one hit and it's your guy…I went with Man-Ram today who is lookin real nice for me in two plate appearances

This web site contains the material covered in the Math 100 course. In addition to the current syllabus and the homework and groupwork assignments, there is reference material. There is a collection of definitions theorems and constructions which may be used in proofs of theorems which will be covered in class. A rigorous development of these basic theorems may be found in the Analytic Foundations of Geometry. There is also a set of projects from which you may choose the project assigned in the syllabus.
The illustrations on the homepage for the course are two constructions which were proved to be impossible using compass and straightedge. The top one is Archimedes' trisection of the angle, and the one on the side is the doubling of the cube. The doubling of the cube does not use a compass. It uses a T-square and drafting triangles.

Aerator, holidays, Hostess Gift, perfect pour, Red wine, Stocking Stuffer, Thanksgiving, Tribella, wine
The weather here in Seattle this fall has been just gorgeous.
Aside from the sun setting earlier, sunny days and temperatures in the 70's tricked my brain into thinking that it was still summer.
Then the rain came and I snapped out of it.
Though I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Halloween is next week (followed closely on its heels by Thanksgiving and the holidays!), for me the loss of summer has led to a preoccupation with one thing – holiday entertaining will soon be upon us!
And with that, red wine drinking season will also be in full swing – As the colder weather settles in many shed their Roses and Chardonnays for the warmth and more full-bodied flavor of various red options.
Whether you are entertaining this holiday season and want to delight your guests with the perfect pour, or you are attending a soiree and need an elegant gift for the wine lover in your life, the TRIbella™ wine aerator will put the festive in your festivities. Presented with a bottle of red, this would make for a much appreciated hostess gift. Alone, it is a terrific stocking stuffer.

SANDY, Utah — RSL are a team that is used to having the lion's share of possession, especially at home. They are also used to being the aggressors and taking the game to their opponent.
Though Dallas did a good job of disrupting that, at least in the first half, the hosts ultimately came out on top, defeating Dallas 2-0. The win ensures RSL finish the regular season unbeaten home.
WATCH: Full match highlights
"In the first half I think they had a really aggressive mindset," RSL head coach RSL said. "I think they wanted to defend in our half. I think they caused us some problems that I don't think any team has this year — at least in our stadium."
"Once we had a chance to settle down and talk to the guys at halftime, credit to them," he added. "They did a great job. [They] made some adjustments and played much, much better in the second half."
WATCH: Jason Kreis talks to MLSsoccer.com postgame
Ned Grabavoy would take that halftime discussion to heart as the opening goal of the match came as a direct result of him staying higher on the pitch.
"We talked at halftime about trying to stay higher – at least one guy stay higher – or at least stay more spread out, so we could interchange."
Grabavoy made an enterprising run through the middle and got ahead of defender Ugo Ihemelu inside the box. Meeting Robbie Russell's chip forward, Grabavoy was able to leap and toss a header over goalkeeper Dario Sala, who had come off his line to try to meet the play.
Grabavoy, who was one of the smallest players on the field at 5-foot-11-inches tall, admitted that the goal off of a header was a rarity for him. But what is it his first?
"First — and it's probably gonna be the last," Grabavoy said.
WATCH: Grabavoy discusses win with MLSsoccer.com
Goalkeeper Nick Rimando also made an important play in the game, stopping an unmarked Jeff Cunningham in the second half to keep the Dallas striker from taking full possession of the MLS career goal total. Cunningham has 132 MLS goals, which ties the all-time scoring record with D.C. United's Jaime Moreno.
"Obviously that's in the back of your head that Jeff's going to make some records," Rimando said, "but you just live in the moment right there, and he's just another striker trying to take a shot, and I'm just trying to save the ball. And it went on my side this time."
The result was another RSL clean sheet, their 15th of the season — one short of the league record of 16 set by Kansas City.
The win, combined with the LA Galaxy's 3-1 loss to the Colorado Rapids, pulls Real Salt Lake to within a point of LA and takes the race for the Supporters' Shield to the final game of the season.

Absolutely agree with both the point of the thread and your interpretation.ronP wrote:.
The point of this "dumb" thread, to me, is that in the opening question the underlying impression was Arturia had a one year jump on mini MS-20 and Sub Phatty and blew a big volume sale because of production and distribution issues.
Yeah, Arturia did miss a windfall there.
This isn't a dumb thread at all IMO: it's finally one that tackles headon a synthy related subject without degrading into pointless versus battles. (A nearby watering hole has gone beyond the usual analog/digital fisticuffs and is now arguing 'surface mount' versus 'through hole' discrete analogue componentry. Soon we'll be anonymously arguing over electrolytic versus ceramic capacitors or something equally minutiae, like tantalum versus aluminium film...)
Arturia could have had my money a year ago, but I got a refund off the preorder list. Again 4-5 months ago, I rang with credit card in hand, but the limited stock had run dry well before my phone call. Korg, however, will likely ship these in by the relative bucketload - maybe not quite so good for resale (synth investors take note) but fantastic for scratching an analogue itch at short notice. And, like the microKorg, once these start showing up on many stages then success will breed success: all the cool kids will want one.
Anyway, silver mica capacitors are teh best, obviously.

HAMPTON — It's still an open question what will become of the nine vehicles purchased using nearly $400,000 from Hampton's Blue Water Tobacco cigarette sting.
But the mystery surrounding their location is no more: The unmarked vehicles — six SUVs, a van, a sedan and an SUV/pick-up truck hybrid — are lined up behind a locked chain link fence at Fort Monroe.
The late-model vehicles include two Chevrolet Suburban LTZs; two Chevrolet Tahoe LTZs; a Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ; a Ford Escape; a one-ton Chevrolet G-30 Express van; a Honda Pilot; and a Honda Accord.
The vehicles — most of them black with tinted windows — sit in a parking lot at the deactivated Army post, near some construction trucks and lighting equipment. Chevrolet's "LTZ" marking indicates a fully loaded, top-of-the-line version of a vehicle.
When and whether the vehicles will be used again by the police or another city department remains to be seen.
The city had once treated the vehicles as being akin to seized assets, to be resolved by the courts through an asset forfeiture process. But Hampton Commonwealth's Attorney Anton Bell has notified the city that the vehicles — as well as about $715,000 still left in the undercover firm's bank account — are "not matters of asset forfeiture."
That's because, Bell said, the assets were not seized from suspects during criminal investigations, but instead purchased with the cash raised by a police "churning" investigation. That's an operation in which money raised by the case is pumped back into the operation to keep it going.
But before simply putting the cars and cash to city use, City Attorney Cynthia Hudson and City Manager Mary Bunting said the city is awaiting an opinion from the Virginia Attorney General's Office regarding the legal status of the assets.
The Hampton cigarette investigation, which operated under the name Blue Water Tobacco, was designed to catch people in the act of buying cigarettes in low-tax Virginia and trucking them to higher tax states, such as in the Northeast, for resale.
In the sting, which initially began in partnership with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the company would get cigarettes from tobacco makers such as Philip Morris, advertise tax-free cigarettes online, and sell them out of a warehouse off Aberdeen Road.
Though no arrests were made during the 19-month operation, more than $3 million flowed through the company's books. Cash generated by the business was used not only to buy more cigarette product, but also to purchase nine cars and SUVs, fund out-of-town trips, and buy electronics, among other expenses.
Former Police Chief Charles R. Jordan Jr. shut the operation down in January following misconduct allegations pertaining to officer travel and "per diem" allowances.
Aside from the continual purchase of more cigarettes, the vehicles appear to be the largest set of expenditures in the undercover investigation.
According to city records, Blue Water Tobacco spent $392,352 for the nine new vehicles, including purchase price, sales taxes and services such as extended warranties, maintenance programs and road hazard protections. With an average price tag of $43,594, the costs of the cars ranged from a high of $57,427 for two vehicles, to a low of $17,930.
Six of the vehicles were purchased on New Year's Eve 2010, while two were purchased on Jan. 6, 2011, and another was purchased on Feb. 13, 2011.
Citing the undercover nature of the cigarette operation, the city would not say which officers drove those cars, or why they were necessary to the investigation. The city provided heavily redacted purchase receipts, showing the pricing but blacking out the dealership, purchaser and salesman, as well as the year, make and model of the vehicles.
Hudson said Friday that one of the nine vehicles parked at Fort Monroe, the Ford Escape, was acquired during the investigation, but not purchased with company proceeds. That statement couldn't immediately be squared with sales receipts provided to the Daily Press that show nine separate vehicle purchases.
It has so far been unclear whether only officers directly involved in the cigarette operation drove the vehicles, or if other officers drove them, too.
Hampton City Council member W.H. "Billy" Hobbs Jr. said he recalls that nine vehicles were purchased from First Team Automotive Group. He recalls that six of the vehicles were purchased at the company's Hampton Chevrolet dealership, while three were purchased at an affiliated dealership, First Team Honda in Chesapeake.
Hobbs worked with First Team for 15 years. At the time of the purchases in December 2010 and January 2011, Hobbs was working as general manager of First Team Honda and a vice president of First Team Automotive Group.
Hobbs, who now works for Hutchens Chevrolet in Newport News, wasn't on the council at the time of the purchases. He did not get elected to the City Council until May of this year, well after the purchases were made.
Hobbs said he remembers Hampton officers coming into the First Team Honda dealership in December 2010, asking whether he wanted to bid on some Hondas. "I said, 'Sure, I'd love to,'" Hobbs said. "We never pass on a bid." He said he put his proposed prices in a sealed envelope, which officers picked up later.
He said he asked why the officers were interested in Hondas, and they replied that they wanted vehicles that would "blend in." Several of the SUVs were purchased fully loaded, which Hobbs interpreted as resulting from a need to "impress the bad guys." The robust maintenance programs the vehicles came with, Hobbs said, "tells me they weren't planning on taking these vehicles to the city garage for anything."
Though Hobbs said he didn't ask what the vehicles would be used for, he figured they were for an undercover operation. He remembers them being purchased in the name "Blue Water Tobacco." Because police vehicles are typically purchased in a city's name, he said, he called Jordan to make sure everything was legitimate. "He said, 'That's all on the up and up,'" Hobbs said.
Hobbs said that the vehicles were sold at what he termed "invoice" pricing. "We don't make a lot of money on those units," he said. "But at the same time, you move the vehicles."
Hudson, the City Attorney, said the Hampton Police Division did not put the vehicle purchases out to a formal bid process. Under the city's normal purchasing provisions, purchases of that size would entail soliciting competitive sealed bids.
In this case, Hudson said, officers sought out three "price quotes" for each of the vehicles. The city didn't provide documents for those quotes as of press time Friday.
Friday morning, Bunting and Hudson initially said they could "neither confirm nor deny" that the fleet of vehicles at Fort Monroe are the ones from Blue Water Tobacco. They argued that the Daily Press should not publish photos of the vehicles for public safety reasons — given that they had been driven by undercover officers.
But Acting Police Chief Tommy Townsend told Hudson Friday afternoon he didn't have a problem with the picture being published, because the Blue Water Tobacco investigation had been over some time and the unmarked vehicles were not altogether distinctive. "It's not like they're pink Cadillacs," he said, in a statement relayed by Hudson.

PARIS — North America was the top market for European films outside Europe in 2010, according to a report published Tuesday by research org the European Audiovisual Observatory.
Some 128 films were released in the U.S. and Canada, taking $300 million at the box office. That amounts to 62% of the $487 million earned outside Europe by local films, on sales of 39 million tickets, 55% of all ducats sold outside Europe.
The report looked at Euro films' performance in 10 foreign markets, including North America, parts of Latin America, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Germany's "Resident Evil: Afterlife" was the best performing film, selling 14.7 million tix outside Europe, pushing the country into second place overall with a total 17.3 million tix.
Although France was the most active country in exporting films, accounting for 55% of releases, the U.K. ranked first in ticket sales, with 100 films selling almost 25 million tickets outside Europe, a 36% market share of admissions.
Of the top five films by ticket sales, three came from Blighty: "The King's Speech" "Green Zone" and "Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang."
The study also revealed the U.K. biz was the most dependent on non-Euro markets, since 42% of admissions to British films were generated outside Europe.
Sweden also fared well in 2010, bolstered by the first two instalments of the "Millennium" trilogy.
Thanks to higher ticket prices, Australia was the second largest market for European films in terms of B.O. with $60 million generated by Euro films.
An estimated 1,281 Euro films preemed in theaters worldwide, grossing $3 billion in 2010.

Navy, Army and Air Force have converged on various
locations this
week as part of Exercise Pae Tata. Auckland
The exercise which aims to develop the Defence Force's integrated amphibious capability, involves maritime, land, and air assets working together to secure a point of entry, executing a beach landing.
HMNZS MANAWANUI, HMNZS TAUPO, a headquarters element and Enhanced Infantry Company (EIC) from 1 RNZIR, a Special Forces Task Element, a RNZN Operational Diving Team Detachment, and a RNZAF P3K and C130 detachment are taking part in the exercise, from 5-16 November.
HMAS TOBRUK, a Royal Australian Navy Landing Ship Heavy, is also playing a role in the exercise, further developing ANZAC interoperability.
Exercise Pae Tata 2012 is an opportunity to develop the Defence Force's emerging Joint Amphibious Task Force capability, building on from our experiences earlier this year on Exercise Alam Halfa and RIMPAC, says Commander Joint Forces New Zealand, Major General Dave Gawn.
"The Joint Amphibious Task Force will allow the NZ Defence Force to effectively respond to any contingencies in the South Pacific, working alongside our Pacific neighbours.
"Interoperability is a crucial part of the Joint Amphibious Task Force capability, where the Defence Force will be able to integrate with and operate alongside our partners in the South Pacific or further a-field."
As part of Exercise Pae Tata 2012, amphibious trainers from the
will also deliver an amphibious warfare training package. UK
Exercise Pae Tata is a precursor to Exercise Southern Katipo 2013, a major amphibious exercise which will be based in
and involve a range of
international participants. New Zealand

As a part of my ongoing training and overview for volunteering at Brookgreen gardens I got to visit the Whispering Wings Butterfly exhibit. This is one of the areas I want to be trained to work in (along with the sculpture conservation department and horticulture). There are literally hundreds of butterflies in the exhibit and some I'd never seen. A few are native to coastal SC but most of these species are not and they have strict procedures for making sure there are no escape artists!
Monarch, Zebra Longwing, Polydamas Swallowtails, Pipevine Swallowtails, Spicebush Swallowtails, Julias, Buckeyes, Queens, Painted Lady, and American Lady are among other species you will see there if you visit.
This Tiger striped butterfly was among my favorite and was my husband's favorite (of my photos, he didn't join me this time).
But my favorite had to be the malachite, I just love anything green! This exhibit runs all spring and summer, check it out if you are in the area!
PS. Did you know that this week was/is National Volunteer week? Do you volunteer?

What's it going to be in the final 25-lap dash for the Indianapolis 500 wreath? Four cars in the mix? Six … maybe eight? Try 20, according to Team Barracuda – BHA driver Alex Tagliani.
The 2011 Indy 500 pole sitter bases his estimate on fuel mileage difference of the engines supplied by Chevrolet, Honda and Lotus through the initial four races and characteristics of the Dallara chassis on its maiden oval voyage. That number might be conservative, he added, if attrition doesn't impact the 33-car field.
"The difference in qualifying last year between first (227.472 mph four-lap average) and 33rd was 3 miles per hour," Tagliani said. "When you started the race there was a discrepancy between the top eight and the rest … they couldn't follow. You could see that there was a discrepancy between the speed of the cars.
"With this new car, it's going to be a half a mile an hour between the cars. The new car has not evolved like the other car with knowledge and trials, plus the series has closed up some of the things you can develop.
"Last year, you're running the same engines so if you pitted on Lap 31 and he pitted on Lap 31, there's not going to be a three-lap difference the rest of the race. That's out of the window. Without doing anything, that's going to induce a different strategy. You can't predict what's going to happen in the race."
Of course, Tagliani and race engineer Todd Malloy hope they'll be in position to predict the outcome. He was 11th on the practice time sheet May 15 with a best lap of 40.7788 seconds (220.703 mph) as 30 drivers recorded a month-high 1,602 laps. Marco Andretti, driving the No. 26 Team RC Cola car for Andretti Autosport, led the way with a lap of 40.2367 seconds (223.676 mph) – a high through four days of practice.
"I don't think anybody is going to be able to lead for more than a couple of laps," Andretti predicted. "It's going to be a great show for the fans."
The top 25 cars were separated by 1 second as teams continued working on race set-ups and simulations on the 2.5-mile oval. They'll turn their attention May 18 to set-ups for qualifications as they'll be afforded an extra 40-50 horsepower via turning up the boost of the turbochargers.
"With this new car we have a couple things we still need to sort out in terms in how the car feels in race trim and how it's going to last over a stint," said Hildebrand, the 2011 race runner-up and driver of the No. 4 National Guard Panther Racing car. "What we've seen here is that you're going to have a helluva time pulling away from anybody, so chances are pretty good that you're going to be in traffic for long stints during the race."
Helio Castroneves, driving the No. 3 Shell V-Power/Pennzoil Ultra Team Penske car, was second with a lap of 222.025 mph and James Hinchcliffe (221.864) was third in the No. 27 GoDaddy.com car.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Last year, 1-in-5 U.S. adults age 18 and older, or 46 million people, had a mental illness, U.S. health officials said.
Pamela S. Hyde, administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said mental illness among adults was defined as having had a diagnosable mental, behavioral or emotional disorder -- excluding developmental and substance use disorders -- based on criteria specified in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
"Although mental illness remains a serious public health issue, increasingly we know that people who experience it can be successfully treated and can live full, productive lives," Hyde said in a statement. "Like other medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, the key to recovery is identifying the problem and taking active measures to treat it as soon as possible."
The report said among adults with mental illness in the past year, about 4-in-10 received mental health services. However, among those who had serious mental illness in the past year the rate of treatment was notably higher at 6-in-10 adults.
The report also noted that an estimated 8.5 million U.S. adults had serious thoughts of suicide in the past year -- among them 2.4 million made suicide plans and 1.1 million attempted suicide.
Those in crisis or knowing someone they believe may be at immediate risk of attempting suicide are urged to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or go to http:/www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org. The Suicide Prevention Lifeline network, funded by SAMHSA, provides immediate free and confidential crisis round-the-clock counseling to anyone in need throughout the country, every day of the year.

Haversham D3018 (13018, 08011)
Originally Numbered 13018 and delivered from the Derby Works to Willesden shed (1A) in February 1953. In July 1958 it was renumbered D3018. In 1971 after a spell at Cricklewood it moved to Bletchley where it was used mainly at the Wolverton Works and frequently on Royal Train Duties. In June 1974 the shunter was renumbered into the TOPS numbering system, becoming 08011. It became the oldest working diesel on British Rail and was repainted near its original green livery and named HAVERSHAM by the staff of Bletchley.
HAVERSHAM was used in conjunction with the resignalling of the Chiltern Line and during March 1991 helped our Association to recover redundant signalling equipment and actually worked down the Watlington Branch. Due to the engine being vacuum braked only, Haversham was withdrawn from traffic on 16 December 1991, remaining at Aylesbury until being purchased by the Railway Association and handed over by John Nelson, Director of Network Southeast, at a special ceremony at Princes Risborough, as part of the Aylesbury Turbo Open Day, on Saturday 25 April 1992. On 24 August 1994 the engine hauled the first public train to Wainhill Crossing...
Historical Note:
This mammoth fleet of 350 hp diesel electric shunting locomotives, the largest fleet of diesel locomotives ever built in this country numbering 1193 in total when construction ceased; now well under 500 locomotives survive in service, but many more are used in private industry or on preserved railways. The design was a direct descendant of the LMS 12033 series of 1945 with the body design being almost identical. During the construction of the fleet several detail differences were made, mainly with different power units and traction equipment.

With their 5 day training camp at Salve Regina over, the Celtics are back at home in their practice facility in Waltham. A few notes from today's practice|:
|Photo courtesy of Chris Forsberg/ESPN
Two and a half hours in, they were still going strong. This team means business.
Jermaine O'Neal missed his second straight practice with a sore hamstring. JO blamed the sore hamstring on having to hold Shaq up everyday. Delonte West left practice with back spasms. This allowed Semih Erden and Von Wafer to get some practice in with the 2nd unit. Both JO and Delonte have been nagged with injuries through their careers and so I hope this doesn't carry over into the season.
Kyle Draper is reporting that JO will likely miss Wednesday's preseason opener against the Sixers with the hamstring injury. JO said that he is day to day but Doc suggested that he would be out all week. According to both, it is a precautionary measure. We may get to see what Semih can do (or can't do) sooner than we expected.
Shaq was once again out on the floor with the starting unit. This could be where Doc plans to play him, or it could just be a result of JO's sore hammy. I guess we won't know for sure until they actually play the games. After the jump, you'll see that getting back to Waltham hasn't dampened the mood whatsoever. Even KG gets in on the fun.

Nutrition Intervention for the Promotion of Healthy Weight Gain During Pregnancy
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01056406

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine if twice monthly interaction with a registered dietitian from 6-16 weeks gestation through 6 months postpartum will help women who are overweight or obese gain weight during pregnancy closer to the Institute of Medicine (IOM)guidelines and lose weight more effectively within the 6 month postpartum period than those who do not receive twice monthly interaction with a registered dietitian during this period.
Overweight/obesity can lead to a number of adverse pregnancy, delivery and birth outcomes, including increased risk of hypertension, eclampsia, and diabetes during pregnancy, miscarriage, premature delivery, birth injuries, neural tube defects, and prenatal death. More than half of women of childbearing age are overweight or are obese. Women of color and low-income women are affected disproportionately.
Unfortunately, women know little, if anything, about the impact of overweight and obesity on pregnancy and health care providers are unsure how to effectively address the problem with their patients.
A limited number of programs have tested ways to effectively address weight gain management during pregnancy. None have been successful in addressing weight gain in women who are obese or overweight at the start of pregnancy. The 2-year Revere Health Center Pregnancy Weight Management Study will test the feasibility and efficacy of providing pregnant women who are overweight or obese with regular access to a registered dietitian during and after pregnancy to help achieve total weight gain closer to recommended guidelines and to ensure the best outcomes for the mother and her newborn.
|Condition or disease
|Pregnancy Overweight Obesity
|Behavioral: Nutrition Education
|Not Applicable
The Revere Pregnancy and Weight Management Study has been designed to test the hypothesis that women with a BMI > 25 and < 40 who receive information about the risks of excessive weight gain during pregnancy and bimonthly interventions from a registered dietitian from the beginning of their pregnancy (6-16 weeks gestation) through 6 months postpartum, will achieve total weight gain closer to IOM (Institute of Medicine) guidelines and will have fewer complications as compared to women who only receive information about the risks of excessive weight gain (i.e. Current standard of optimal care). In addition, we hope to find that women who participate in the program will increase physical activity and show improvement in overall nutritious food choices as will be measured by the results of a nutrition and physical activity questionnaire completed by all participants at 3 points during the study.
This study will be managed completely by a registered dietitian who has experience working with pregnant women. The dietitian will have direct access to the participants' primary clinicians for consultation throughout the course of the study.
All patients, regardless of whether in the control or intervention group, will receive the optimal standard of prenatal and postpartum care and any additional care needed to ensure the best outcomes for the mother and newborn.
Everyone in the study will meet with the dietitian who works at the Revere Health Center at least one time. During the initial visit, participants will receive information about healthy eating and exercise during pregnancy. Women will also receive information about risks to mother and baby related to excessive weight gain during pregnancy for overweight and obese women.
Women in the control group will have no further interaction with the study dietitian.
Women in the intervention group will meet with the dietitian at least twice per month. The contact with the dietitian may include face-to-face individual counseling, telephone or e-mail follow-up, group classes or group activities.
Data that will be collected and analyzed will include:
- Demographic information
- Medical and Pregnancy History
- Pregnancy, labor, and delivery complications to mother and baby
- Birth record
- Weight change during pregnancy and after delivery
- Changes in physical activity and food choices
Through bimonthly contact with the dietitian, women will learn about healthier eating habits and exercise while monitoring weight gain to help adhere to IOM guidelines. We hope to see improved pregnancy, labor, and delivery outcomes for mothers and babies and help women achieve postpartum weight loss. We intend to foster an increased interest and knowledge about nutrition that will carry over to healthier food choices to share with their families and with other women.

WASHINGTON – The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) recently co-sponsored a briefing on Capitol Hill that is intended to educate members of congress and their staff about the challenges facing high-performance buildings after construction is complete.
High-performance buildings require significant money and time spent on conception, design, construction, commissioning and even certification. At the conclusion of the project a high-performance building runs like a precession instrument. At that point expert design teams and contractors move onto their next project.
However, the next phase of a high-performance building is just as important as the construction. Cutting-edge systems must be delicately balanced. Day-to-day operation requires trained individuals, while occupants and maintenance personnel can derail a high-performance system without intending to. Without proper maintenance a high-performance building may consume more energy and resources than a similar conventional building.
These challenges and potential solutions were discussed at the briefing in order to ensure that high-performance buildings and sustainable design are able to deliver on their promise.
"Interior designers hold a unique position in the design and function of a high-performance building," notes Don Davis, director of government and public affairs for ASID. "Our members are passionate about sustainable design and want to ensure that the benefits of their professional contributions to these projects are realized."
About ASID
The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is a community of people—designers, industry representatives, educators and students—committed to interior design. Through education, knowledge sharing, advocacy, community building and outreach, the Society strives to advance the interior design profession and, in the process, to demonstrate and celebrate the power of design to positively change people's lives. Its more than 36,000 members engage in a variety of professional programs and activities through a network of 48 Chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Visit www.asid.org to learn more.

Cross country reinvented
After the profound renovation experienced last year in the enduro range, the prestigious dirt-bike brand takes another step forward in the evolution of its great icon in this discipline with the launch of the new 2019 GasGas EC and XC. More than two decades after Paul Edmonson made history conquering the first of the nine World Enduro Championships for the factory from Salt, the latest in the line to inherit those mythical EnduroCross initials takes up the challenge of that World Champion bike and together with GasGas's vast experience to make a new qualitative leap with the presentation of the new EC and XC enduro range.
Maximum reliability
The natural evolution of a model that has managed to adapt as none other has to the demands of the toughest of discipline, to keep growing until it has become the best version of itself, a true dirt-bike symbol. A versatile, powerful, resistant all-terrain machine designed to meet the needs of today's enduro rider, whatever their level, Thanks to the quality and versatility of a bike that, in 2019, renews its image with a special graphic design where the red is kept as the emblematic color of the brand, although this time introducing black and white strokes also.
Made for versatility
With a dry weight just over 100 kilograms positioning it as one of the lightest bikes on the market, the new GasGas EC and XC models show off improvementsin its engine and frame and suspension, in addition to its electrical system with a new starter and greater capacity battery system- and the novelty of the double switch map, to get the most out of dry or wet terrain.
Quality Components
As with its revolutionary predecessor, GasGas has made a firm commitment with its new models for the maximum quality of their components and details to highlight the fact it is a benchmark in the world of two-stroke enduro bikes. A complete list of components, often surprising to see on a production bike, endow the entire GasGas Enduro range with an exclusive character, equipped in its entirety with suspension from the prestigious firm Kayaba, a Magura clutch pump, FMF exhaust, Kehin carburettor, Neken handlebar, and Excel wheel rims are among the most outstanding features of this 2019 edition.

Was there a change to the feed, or do I need to do something on my end? I have "metric" checked on the configuration tab for my location.
I think this happened a while back but the problem corrected itself eventually?

What happens when a pair of doppelgangers with a tempestuous past comes face-to-face? Things get heated.
Elena is in search of Katherine on this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries and with the help of her new sidekick Rebekah, it won't be long before she finds her.
Returning spring shows: Where we left off
"The meeting of the two of them is interesting because you have the young and old, the hungry and the bitter, and they're both extremely divisive and powerful," Ian Somerhalder says. "That's a big problem because Katherine's inclination is to kill Elena — that would be the best thing to do — because the boys want Elena to take the cure, but Katherine wants it because it's her only leverage."
Which shows are returning and which aren't?
Watch this week's Vampire Diaries Bite for more on the Katherine-Elena encounter. Plus: Somerhalder explains why the remaining episodes this season will focus largely around Silas.
