I'm not saying that fitness freaks are the perfect humans (ok maybe just perfect on the outside) but the amount of time, sweat, blisters and calouses it takes to be THAT fit and look THAT fit, surely they must have some admirable qualities that all of us should adopt. Plus I'm writing this post to address something that I'm really passionate about and hopefully I'm able to inspire some of you to start training and take your health and fitness to the next level 🙂
1. Dedication and commitment
Dedicating your time and committing to something this hard is never a smooth and easy ride. Now if you're comparing dedicating your time and committing to practising piano or taking your pet to the dog spa regularly, that is like breathing, which should be second nature to you and that's how easy it is. Committing to training and exercising regularly is extremely difficult because your body aches and your muscles are sore the next day and plus sweating a mini waterfall down your face is really not attractive. If you're able to dedicate your time and commit to regular training and exercises, you're strong enough to do anything.
2. Patience
Personally, I'm not a patient person, I'm the type of person who expects to see results from my efforts almost immediately. At one stage, I was so obsessed with my transformation from the gym, I would literally stare at my body every single day after gym and complain constantly when I didn't see a difference. Now I've finally learnt to concentrate on the training rather than the transformation. It takes minimum 3 months and sometimes years for fitness freaks to look the way they do so if you're able to still dedicate yourself to exercising without seeing immediate results then you've mastered "patience".
3. Discipline
Whether you're into savoury or sweet, we all have guilty pleasures that we indulge in once in a while or once too often. I'm a savoury person, I love restaurant food, fast food, crisps, french fries, basically all oily fried, heart attack in a bite type of foods. I'm not really into cake or chocolates but honestly, I'm not sure what's worse. With health and fitness, there's also the nutrition element to it, you can't just exercise and still eat a load of junk. Those who are super fit MUST control what they eat as part of their lifestyle and not a diet (diet is temporary and lifestyle is permanent) which means someone offering you cake and chocolates or french fries and you saying no like you really mean it, that takes discipline.
4. Time managemet
In this day and age, you often hear people use the excuse that they "don't have time" to do certain things but the truth is, you will always have time to do something that is important to you. It's all about time management and priorities, which links back to 1 and 2 above. Exercise is probably one of the "to do's" that people use the "I don't have time" excuse the most. I've noticed that since I've included training and exercise into my lifestyle, I've managed my time much better than before because I would spend less time sitting around doing nothing. Instead I would plan my time around my training and try fill it up doing other things such as making green juice and cooking up something healthy.
5. Keeps you grounded
If you've pushed yourself hard enough physically, you will sweat, you will ache and you will feel as if the air you're breathing is so thin that you may want to pass out. We're human after all and no matter how much you earn, what position you take at work, who you are in society at large, you will get tired and feel depleted. A good sweaty workout will bring whoever you are down to the ground no matter how invincible you feel. Some of us may need it more than others 🙂
With love…xxx

HAMPTON — A Hampton man who allegedly stole multiple guns from a residence in town has been indicted on four charges of theft by unauthorized taking.
HAMPTON — A Hampton man who allegedly stole multiple guns from a residence in town has been indicted on four charges of theft by unauthorized taking.
James L. Merrill, 24, of 19 High St., No. 8, is accused of taking a Thompson Center Arms .54 caliber rifle and a Connecticut Valley Arms .50 caliber rifle from Peter Frechette, as well as a Baker 20-gauge shotgun and a .308 Remington rifle from Gordon Player. His arraignment is set for 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 3, at Rockingham Superior Court.
Merrill turned himself in to Hampton police on Sept. 25, after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Police said Merrill's arrest came after an investigation that began when police were called to a home Sept. 3 for a report of six stolen firearms taken from a bedroom and attic.
The guns were a .308 Remington rifle, a Baker shotgun, a Connecticut Valley Arms .50 caliber rifle, a Connecticut Valley Arms Hawken rifle, a Connecticut Valley Arms Kentucky pistol and a Thompson/Center Arms .54 caliber muzzleloader.
Police said the owners identified Merrill as the prime suspect because he stayed at their home for two to three weeks and had knowledge of where the guns were located.
According to an affidavit filed by Hampton police officer Alex Reno, police received a tip Sept. 18 that Merrill was the one who stole the guns and that he sold them to a Seabrook man.
Reno said that on Sept. 19, police interviewed a man who purchased four of the six guns from Merrill, who claimed the guns belonged to his grandfather.

[TALK] Computational Creativity and Evolution of Our Lives
17.10.2019 11:30 - Cristoforo Colombo Hall, Mind Hotel Slovenija
We, as human beings, all feel the pace of technology along with the change it brings in engineering applications, business world and our daily lives. One of the pioneering areas appears also in artificial intelligence (AI). So, what do we think about AI entering into art and creativity which we think are distant to technology and which we relate more to being human?
Until now, art has only been related to human. However, there are several works of art in different fields where art is combined with technology. We will see this trend in music, painting, literature, culinary, fashion, cinema, video games, visualization.
Behind any creative idea there are pieces of culture, experience and learnings. Since computer technologies can mimic & enhance human creativity, a new field of study called computational creativity has commenced.
Creativity not being only a human property anymore, new questions emerge - what kind of life should we expect in AI era? How will our lives evolve with AI?

20.2 Evolution of Exothermic WondersOctober 2, 2011
Ugg. I love / hate the design process.
Here's a short version of a story I'd like to tell more elongatedly.
I made a weaving, rectangular, quilt design in February that matches current decor perfectly.
"Eh it's boring". That quilt is still in pieces, ready to be put into rows, ready for me to decide a clever weaving border for it.
… Then there's been my recent smaller square quilts that I've been doing … in addition to the hurricane quilt that hasn't been touched since I've been trying to baste it to remove the oil stain on it (might not remove it all the way, it's starting to add more character to the hurricane story I'm building around this quilt).
and more … "eh, squares are really just not my thing", "I'm not digging that color", "can't you put in some more exciting blocks" ….
hmm …. okaaayyyy ….
So I was working on the alternate blocks on electric quilt for my latest quilt, Exothermic Wonders, current version that you've seen below.
This is what I started with. the variation I liked the most of what people also liked the most.
But I ran out of black & so did the store. So I got some lower contrast, darker orange /red-orange fabrics for alternate blocks, and I finally put the fabrics into EQ7 this weekend, thinking as long as the blocks are fairly low contrast, there is still the main design.
Here's one version:
But here's the version I liked even better that that one:
I was working out how much fabric would I need for the alternate blocks as I was designing them, so I removed the outer borders from the electric quilt design, which, I have had completed for at least a month or two.
And finally, from over my shoulder:
"Hey, I like that!" "I could see that quilt if you take out the pink ones because they're too distracting, but I like that."
And this was said without the borders, so I quick put the picture above on the screen and say, you mean this one?
"No. I don't like the borders." "Do it without the borders." "Well, it's your quilt, and you can do it how you want, but I like it without the borders – too distracting." "This new design is simple – more symmetrical." "The borders look too much like the quilt on the inside, same style".
So if I listen to this request, I get a quilt that is ACTUALLY wanted, but then … not large enough.
So I need to make more of the middle blocks (that are done & have been sewn together since July, & cut since April), and then, what the heck do I do with all the borders that are also already done? I suppose I could do the back with them, or have a bonus quilt from it?
That, and to do the alternate blocks the way they are, I require more fabric anyway. But I DO like the stability of the alternate blocks as they are. (Actually slightly lower contrast than what's shown here also)
So here's my new design, assuming I don't revert back to the border one.
Which I do admit, I like (right now). But this means a lot of paper piecing for the alternate blocks. Hopefully I'll like the end result.
Tried putting the borders as alternate blocks, and I almost liked it too, less work, but more scrappy, and I do like how non-scrappy these alternate blocks are.
(sorry about the poor quality, it looks better before I post the design, don't know what's going on with that).

Pilger awarded Sydney Peace Prize:
Pilger noted that in an essay in The Monthly magazine published not long before Mr Rudd became prime minister, he lauded the moral principles of the Good Samaritan and left no doubt that he believed refugees should not be treated the way Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were - that is, prevented from entering western countries, including Australia.
"But now Rudd says the diametric opposite: that his government would be `tough' on `illegal immigrants'. The term itself is a lie," he said.
"Refugees are not illegal - international law is clear on that. When are Australians going to speak out against this outrage being perpetrated in our name?"
Mr Pilger will deliver his Sydney Prize Lecture, titled Breaking the Australian Silence, at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday.

Itshokeng Funerals – the name of a funeral parlour in SA.
A personal blog about running, parenting and life by Pamela Jane
Itshokeng Funerals – the name of a funeral parlour in SA.
and I did not even get flowers, but I did get a good giggle.
My sister sent me this number 0861 300 600 and told me to phone it for a laugh.
I did, thinking it was one of those joke lines. It's not, it's actually NetFlorist customer call line, but the greeting is hysterical. (I checked there website to confirm it is their number).
I wonder how many calls they get of people just calling the number. And how many will actually order flowers because of it. I am tempted, just so that I can legitimally phone again.
I had to take a picture.
Last night, my husband and I were sitting in the living room, and I said to him, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'
He got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.
I received this via email this morning and could not help but laugh!
Here is the joke that I received in mail the other day. I thought it very funny – and to me it makes a lot more sense that that other story that has been going around for years…….
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. "So, how is everything going?" inquired God.
"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem.
It's these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain."
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. She felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more "symmetrically balanced".
"That's a fair point," replied God, "But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away."
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
" Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?"
"Just fantastic," she replied, "But for one oversight. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone."
God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Let's see….where did I put that useless tit?"
Now doesn't THAT make more sense than all that crap about the rib?
I got this on email today and it made me smile.
Words for Women to Live By :
1. Aspire to be Barbie – the bitch has everything.
2. If the shoe fits – buy them in every color.
3. Take life with a pinch of salt… A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.
4. In need of a support group? – Have a daily Cocktail hour with the girls!
5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).
6. When life gets you down – just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS/Menopause and this is just your personality.
8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.
9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
10. Don't get your knickers in a twist; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
11. When life gives you lemons – turn them into lemonade then mix with vodka.
12. Remember wherever there is a good looking; sweet man there is some woman tired of his bullshit!
13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.
14. If it has Tyres or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.
15. By the time a woman realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.
Ok, so I can't even attempt to deny it any more. I am a serious fan!!
This time it is an advert so probably has more to do with the Vodacom advertising agency but I think it is brilliant! I enjoyed the first Player 23 advert, but find this one more entertaining.
Probably only appeals to your South African audience, but hey, they have their target market pegged. Well, kind off. I am not (much of) a rugby supporter but at the moment Robbie can do no wrong!
So enjoy – the latest Vodacom Player 23 advert with Robbie Wessels
I don't normally post jokes on my blog but when I got this on email I burst out laughing!
I thought I had better write another post today, so that the first thing people saw was not me moaning!
Last night it was very hot, I don't have a problem with that, Mr OL on the other had does. He can't sleep when it is hot so last night he was tossing and turning. He just had a sheet over him and with all the rolling over his feet must have been wriggling underneath. The cat in all his innocence (uhmm right) must have thought this was a game because the next thing I hear is a loud screech (Mr OL) and then a thump followed another loud screech (the cat Bacardi) followed by loud meouwing and running down the passage (also the cat).
Bacardi had pounced on Mr OL's foot, claws out. Mr OL screeched and threw a shoe at the cat, just missing. The cat then started back chatting! He he! I was trying to stifle the laughter. Luckily through all the swearing I don't' think it was heard.
Mr OL was still muttering about the damn cat this morning when we got up.
Although who could stay mad at a face like this for very long???

I have.
A number of summers ago when all the children were still home, and every day was marked by swim team practice, and every week was marked by Wednesday nights gathered with a small band of friends who wanted only to sit at the feet of Jesus, we got a call that changed the way I thought about prayer.
A two-year old little boy had wandered to the backyard of his grandparents' home and fallen into the pool. He had been rescued, but was on life support.
We gathered the children together and we prayed. And for the next days we didn't stop praying. We joined with others in the waiting room and prayed. We gathered with our friends and prayed. We set our clocks to get up in the middle of the night and prayed. We joined the precious mom and dad at the bedside of their son, attached to monitors and kept alive by machines that whirred and beeped, and prayed.
We prayed boldly.
We prayed hopefully.
We prayed expectantly.
And then we received word , that Friday at 5pm, they would turn off the machines and see if this little boy would get a Lazarus story.
I was home at the time getting ready to speak. Mid-afternoon it began to sprinkle. Our home was located in a beautiful corner of the world where it was common to see a rainbow or two when afternoon showers rolled in. As the rain loosened the Virginia clay, I ran outside to look for a rainbow. I believed God would give us a rainbow as a sign that this child would have a Lazarus story. There was no rainbow.
But I didn't give up hoping, praying. God doesn't always give the sign we want, even when he's going to do a Lazarus.
I had to leave the house just they were turning off life support. As I drove, the afternoon shower gave way to a torrential downpour like I hadn't seen all summer. The sky darkened, the clouds roiled, the thunder cracked, and lighting split the sky. And I knew. He was gone.
And he was.
After the funeral, I stood with his mother by the tiny casket as we gazed at this beautiful boy, so full of life only days before. And she said, "Cindy, I believe that if God wanted to, he could still raise him from the dead." And I did too. But this wasn't a Lazarus story. As much as we prayed it would be.
And I wondered about prayer. Were we wrong to pray with such faith? Such belief? Perhaps if we had prayed longer, or harder, or on our knees …
But then as I read of the night Jesus spent in the Garden, sweating blood and praying,
Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. "Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." Mark 14:35-36
Jesus prayed boldly, hopefully, expectantly. And this is what we do too.
If you're hoping for a Lazarus story, let me tell you what I learned that summer.
The Father delights in our bold prayers. He is our Abba Father, our Daddy. He wants us to come to him and pour out our hearts. Praying for healing and life is good. We don't need to shy back from praying boldly.
The Father sees beyond our spoken prayers. He knows the inclination of our heart. He knows if we desire his will above all else. We don't need to say it all the time. We just need to live it.
The Father isn't impressed by formulaic prayers. He's not going to be moved to give us what we ask for if we pray in a certain position, or with a certain phrase, or in a certain place. We don't need to worry that we didn't pray in the "right" way. We just need to pray.
The Father is not looking to us to save his reputation. We prayed for this sweet child to live, and God said, "No." He doesn't need for us to make excuses for him, or change the way we tell the story so that God looks better. His ways are sometimes (often?) simply beyond our understanding.
The Father shapes our heart as we pray. When our prayers are honest and real and raw, and we look like children climbing into our Daddy's lap, then we find that we learn to trust the Father, even when he says, "No."
The Father welcomes our mess as we pray. He's not overwhelmed by our emotions. He's not displeased with our confusion, or grief, or anger even. We are never too much for him. You are never too much for him.
And I'm wondering about you today. Has God's "No" left you disillusioned? Wondering if prayer makes a difference? If God really is good? Powerful? Real? Has his "No" made you run away, or at least hold him at arm's length. Perhaps you still believe in some vague way, but you just don't believe you can trust him. You think he's real, but you doubt he loves you. If your hope for a Lazarus story has hardened into a tight knot of bitterness, I'd like to ask you to turn back to God. Climb into his arms. He loves you. And he's waiting for you. Maybe the Lazarus story is actually your own.

Tip of the Week: Fly fit, land refreshed.
You may be a frequent flyer or only take to the skies once in a blue moon. Either way, you should know that by heeding a few healthy tips you can feel better when you're in the air and once you're back on the ground.
You've surely heard it before, but staying hydrated is crucial when flying. The air inside plane cabins is notoriously dry. How dry? Somewhere between 10 percent and 20 percent humidity. Consider that a comfortable humidity level is considered between 30 percent and 65 percent, and you begin to realize just how arid the atmosphere inside a plane can be.
To combat the effects of a flying desert, make sure to drink water throughout a flight. Also, moisturizing prior to flying helps your skin from drying out.
In addition to drinking and moisturizing, make it a point on flights lasting more than an hour to stand up at least once to stretch and tense your muscles. Circulation can be severely restricted in a plane seat. For people with heart or circulatory problems, such periods of cramped inactivity can trigger health issues.
Follow these simple tips, and your travel experience is sure to be a more pleasant one.
Q: What are your thoughts on cleansing? I have a friend who swears by it. She says she loses up to 5 pounds from a cleanse and has more energy afterward. Is there merit to it?
Joe: I know that cleansing has become more popular than ever in recent years and that there are a number of different cleansing systems on the market. There are cleanses that you drink and then there are those that are provided at a clinic. These involve the use of an enema.
From what I hear from those who do it, cleanses do leave you feeling energetic, and yes, you will lose weight from a cleanse, if only temporarily. Do I personally recommend cleansing? No. Do I have anything against the idea? No.
I think cleansing can be a good idea for many people whose diets may not be exemplary. With all the chemicals in processed foods these days, coupled with a paucity of fiber, our digestive systems often aren't up to snuff and can use a helping hand. In this case cleansing, which is essentially the use of laxatives to fully eliminate the bowels, can be beneficial.
For those of us who stick with a whole-food-based diet that includes a good amount of roughage, cleansing may not be necessary. I make sure to get more than the 25-30 grams of fiber recommended per day, and as a result I don't have the digestive issues of those whose diets consist primarily of processed foods.
You would know better than I whether your diet warrants intervention. Let's put it this way, though — whether you actually need it or not, a cleanse won't hurt.
Q: What are your thoughts on machines vs. free-weight training? The gym I go to is probably 80 percent machines, including cables. I have heard that barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells give you a better workout, but I'm pretty limited right now.
Joe: I tend to agree that, given the choice, you'd be better served working with free weights than with machines. What I like about free weights is that they require stabilization to lift, while machines are set in fixed tracks. Thus, smaller stabilizer muscles that come into play when lifting weights are not enacted via machine work.
Machines do have their place in a fitness regimen, though. For one thing, they allow you to isolate specific muscles effectively. If you have a weakness in your shoulders, you can target the shoulders specifically with minimal interaction from other muscle groups. Also, if you are suffering an injury you can better work around the problem with a machine.
I consider cables to be a nice hybrid between the two. There's definitely some play in the range of motion, but they are more control than with weights. I think ultimately the best solution is to incorporate all three into your training routine, taking advantage of the best that each has to offer.

The global financial crisis and the technological revolution have transformed the job market in a very short time. The world's most important companies and top selection agencies find themselves searching for professions that did not even exist two years ago.
There is no magic formula for becoming one of those elusive sought-after professionals. The only way is to study. Some of these degrees, post-graduate studies and masters will be present from 14 to 18 March at the Education Show and Future Salon, as part of the Training and Work Week that Fira de Barcelona is organizing again this year.
Randstad Professional has carried out a survey of the most sought-after professionals in 2018. Find out who they are:
5. Customer Experience
The digitalization of the economy has led to modifications of our consumption habits, with an increase in the demand for products and services based on experiences. This is why professionals who are able to analyse and take decisions that enable customers to have an optimal purchasing experience are very popular this year.
4. Retail workers
Like all the other sectors, the digital revolution has had a profound effect on the retail sector and its workers. There is strong demand now for sales personnel for both physical stores and more digital entities, specialising in Big Data, Business Intelligence or SAP.
3. Sales profiles
The economy is slowly emerging from a serious recession, and consumption is growing steadily with it. This increase is driving companies to search for workers with a vocation for sales, specialising in customer service and sales management, especially for the international arena. The rise of e-commerce means that this field is dominated by profiles specialised in social media.
2. IT Specialists
The increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence is affecting sectors as diverse as health, transport, education, manufacturing and finance, among many others. This situation has forced many companies to recruit specialists in this field as a matter of urgency.
1. Automation and Control System Engineers
The digitization of processes is radically changing industry and the result is that there is enormous demand for professionals capable of designing, programming and implementing these transformations that are changing production lines.
El salón de las ofertas de empleo
As part of the Training and Work Week, Barcelona Activa and Barcelona City Council will organize the Salon for Youth Employment. The event will include 25 companies from different sectors that offer work to young unemployed people aged between 16 and 35. There will also be discussions and workshops on training and entrepreneurship. The salon will be held from 14 to 16 March in Palau 2 of the Montjuïc site of Fira de Barcelona.

New Zealand thrashes Australia 36-0 to retain Bledisloe Cup
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — An All Blacks team chastened by a record-breaking defeat a week ago rallied superbly to beat Australia 36-0 in the return test Saturday and extended its 17-year hold on the Bledisloe Cup and a 33-year winning streak at Eden Park.
The Wallabies won the first test of the two-match series 47-26 in Perth last weekend, posting their highest-ever score against New Zealand in Australia and exposing a range of weaknesses in an All Blacks team which will defend the World Cup in Japan from next month.
New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen responded with six changes to his starting lineup, dropping two of his most experienced players, and the All Blacks re-discovered the physical aspect of their game which was missing last week and has been for most of the last two years.
Tries to flyhalf Richie Mo'unga and scrumhalf Aaron Smith within three minutes in the first half set New Zealand on course to a 17-0 lead at halftime, though it ended the half with hooker Dane Coles in the sin-bin.
A try to center Sonny Bill Williams within five minutes of the re-start made the lead 24-0 and all but stamped out the possibility of a Wallabies resurgence.
Wingers Sevu Reece and George Bridge, with only six tests between them, both finished the match with tries. Reece, in only his second test, reclaimed his own fly kick to score in the 67th minute and Bridge capped a five tries to nil win.
"It just goes to show what a bit of attitude mixed up with a bit of talent does," said Hansen, who was coaching in his 100th test. "Seven days is a long time sometimes in sport."
The reasons for the rapid improvement in the All Blacks' performance were easily identified.
A torrential rain shower just before kickoff made the ground slippery in the first half and the All Blacks used an accurate kicking game to good effect. The Wallabies had more possession but in conditions in which it was often better not to have ball in hand.
The first real omen of the All Blacks' resurgence came at the first scrum in the third minute. The Wallabies pack warped, twisted and thrust back the New Zealand scrum a week ago but on Saturday a reorganized All Blacks pack bulldozed the Australian scrum at that first contest and throughout the match.
New Zealand won a penalty from that scrum from which Mo'unga kicked for the first points of the match. Nepo Laulala took over from 108-test veteran Owen Franks at tighthead prop and brought renewed vigor to the front row.
The All Blacks lineout was shaky at times but, with a better set piece platform, they were able to achieve the go-forward they lacked a week ago and which gave the Wallabies the basis of their victory.
Australia scrum half Nic White, whose sniping runs from a solid forward base tormented the All Blacks in Perth, was nullified Saturday and replaced after only 50 minutes.
Coles was shown a yellow card for a "judo throw" on White in the 38th minute.
The All Blacks, forward and backs, carried the ball with real purpose, breaching the gain line and putting sustained pressure on the Australia defense. Back rower Ardea Savea was especially effective in carrying through tackles.
That meant the Wallabies weren't able to rush up in defense as they had done a week earlier, to pick off the New Zealand ball carriers and keep the All Blacks on the back foot.
New Zealand was able to get the ball wide and new wingers Reece and Bridge brought new energy to the All Blacks' attacking game.
The defense of the All Blacks forwards also eclipsed the performance in Perth and captain Kieran Read and lock Patrick Tuipulotu especially made punishing tackles.
The All Blacks set out with determination not to be bullied, as they have been in recent games. They expressed that determination with a fiery pre-match haka and by the end had given their fans more confidence in the state of their World Cup defense.
"The turnaround in seven days ... they dominated all bar a few minutes of that game in all areas," Wallabies captain Michael Hooper said. "They were really good in the scrum, lineout so hats off to them.
"We threw everything we had at them but probably let them get too far ahead."

Life Coaching Overview
Life Coaching helps you become a happier, more confident and content person.
By supporting you as you discover new ways to approach your life, Life Coaching enables you to move forward in a direction that feels right to you.
Life Coaching is a positive acknowledgment that you want to achieve more from yourself and your life, and a Life Coach helps you to first recognise and then utilise your own inner knowledge. (Yes, your knowledge. After all you know you better than anyone else.) Working with a Life Coach enables you to become aware of what had previously gone unnoticed, and often the smallest change can have the biggest impact on how you think and feel, freeing you from limitations that had previously held you back.
Life Coaching is a positive confirmation that you want to utilise your talents and abilities to succeed in all you do. Life Coaching unlocks your potential, dispels feelings of negativity, discontentment and insecurity, and enabling you to:
- Enjoy your life
- Achieve things that matter to you
- Make decisions and choices with ease
- Feel confident to be just who you are meant to be; "Perfectly uniquely you"
- Understand and express your emotions effectively
- Overcome negative thinking
- Become a stronger and more confident person
- Move through times of challenge swiftly
- Learn and grow from your experiences
- Feel happier and more contented
What does Life Coaching do?
The truth is a Life Coach cannot do anything "for" you; they can only work "with" you. Life Coaching is a collaborative relationship and, if you go into it with an open mind and a determination to move your life from where it is now to where you want it to be, a very effective one.
If you are committed to change and willing to try new things then I can help you to:
- Recognise what is actually going on; see the wood from the trees
- Work out the small changes that will have a big impact on how you think and feel
- Set realistic and achievable targets
- Create new life strategies that work for you
Coaches are used in many professions, most commonly in sport helping athletes to become more conscious of what works and helping them become aware of, and avoid, behaviour that is not productive. A Life Coach works in the same way, enabling you to develop the positives and eliminate the negatives, becoming the very best you can.
A Life Coach is someone who you can speak with who is not connected to you or your situation and therefore can offer a perspective that a friend or colleague cannot. A coach client relationship is a collaborative, confidential relationship with the shared goal of helping you get from where you are now to where you want to be faster and more easily than you would alone. The coach supports you on your journey, completely believing in you and your ability to achieve.
A Life Coach's role is to listen to you intently and be 100% present. There is great power in this alone, how often do we feel truly listened to in life? Often this in itself has the effect of giving you a new awareness of your situation, but the coach is also trained to use questioning techniques that encourage you to look at your life from a new perspective, revealing things that had previously gone unnoticed. It will help you to become aware of small changes that can have a big impact on how you think and feel.
Coaching is not a directive process. In other words, a Life Coach will not offer solutions to your problem, but they will empower you to find solutions/options that are right for you. A Life Coach may offer you support by way of certain methodologies or interventions to move you through unhelpful thinking/emotions, freeing you up to act in ways that are empowering and helpful to you.

I just wanted to say thank you for helping me a few months ago I know I didn't see you for long but you really helped me move to a better place for me .. I'm doing really well now I am now single and have a new house and have a whole new out look on life and I am much happier for me and feel like I have my life back and my friendships are stronger than ever so thank you for helping me get there.
Thank you for all your help. You have had such a profound effect on my recovery and am very grateful.
I found it interesting to learn a bit more about how our subconscious mind works and it was just reassuring to hear that I do have the ability to change my thought patterns and push out any negativity.

(CBS News) LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Golden State is striking it rich in job creation.
Jim Nguyen is an executive vice president at Truecar.com. Their website helps consumers know fair prices when buying or selling a vehicle. They currently have two buildings.
""We're still looking for more. We are growing fast," he said.
Two years ago, Truecar.com had just over 100 employees. Today they have over 300 and are planning to add more.
"Just this morning I was out looking for more office space," Nguyen said.
Truecar.com is one of the dozens of star-ups that have earned Santa Monica, Calif. a new nickname: "Silicon Beach."
December jobs: 1.8 million jobs created in 2012
Dow kicks off new year with best weekly gain in months
U.S. service firms grow by most in 10 months
In the past year, California has added 26,000 new information technology jobs. The construction industry is also booming with 26,400 new jobs, and tourism and hospitality has added 62,900.
New companies create most of the new jobs, and a recent study shows Los Angeles has the most entrepreneurs of any area in the country. That job growth is fueling consumer spending. Auto sales were up 14 percent last year. That's why true car is planning to add up to 100 more employees in 2013.
"We want to make sure we are prepared essentially to ride that tide as it's coming through," Nguyen said.
During the recession California was losing jobs to states with lower corporate and income taxes such as Texas. Since February California has created almost 234,000 jobs, more than Texas, Oregon and West Virginia combined.

The trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is only two days old, yet the presiding judge has already made several rulings that could have important implications for Mr. Tsarnaev's defense and, ultimately, whether he lives or dies.
Before testimony began on Thursday, Tsarnaev's lawyers complained to Judge George O'Toole that survivors' testimony from Wednesday was too gruesome and should be limited. Defense attorney David Bruck argued that under federal death penalty law, victim-impact testimony is supposed to be presented during the sentencing phase of the trial.
Prosecutors countered that the survivors were not giving victim-impact testimony, instead merely describing what they saw on the day. Judge O'Toole ultimately agreed with prosecutors and refused to limit survivors' testimony.
That decision, coupled with an earlier ruling from O'Toole may have hampered the defense's strategy of portraying Tsarnaev as a peer-pressured accomplice to his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed during a manhunt following the bombing in April 2013. Ideally, the defense team would like to establish this argument through both the guilt and sentencing phases of the trial.
However, prior to opening statements on Wednesday, O'Toole ruled that in the guilt phase he would limit discussions on whether Tsarnaev was "more or less culpable" than his older brother. The judge added that such arguments were generally not relevant before the sentencing phase of the trial, when the jury would decide whether Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death or to life in prison.
Daniel Medwed, a law professor at Northeastern University in Boston, says that he was surprised by O'Toole's first decision — to restrict the defense team's ability to make the argument that Tamerlan was primarily responsible for the bombings.
"I will be curious to see the extent to which this decision restricts the [defense] team's ability to make this argument going forward," Professor Medwed said in an e-mail to the Monitor. "If the defense is denied the chance to develop this argument [in the guilt phase], then it might greatly affect the defense strategy."
O'Toole's decision to not limit survivor testimony during the guilt phase of the trial was less surprising, Medwed said.
"The prosecution needs to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt and presenting eyewitness testimony can be a compelling way of trying to do so, even if much of that testimony is particularly well-suited for the sentencing phase," Medwed wrote.
Medwed added that the defense might renew its objection if the prosecution presents so many survivors during the guilt phase that testimony becomes cumulative or redundant, "at least in terms of establishing the elements of the crimes."
The trial began Wednesday morning with opening statements from both legal teams, and the jury has spent the past day and a half listening to testimony from a series of prosecution witnesses who attended the Boston Marathon on the day of the bombing.
The first phase of the trial will deal expressly with Tsarnaev's guilt or innocence regarding the 30 federal charges against him. If he is found guilty, the same jury will then hear the second phase of the trial, determining whether Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death or life in prison without possibility of release.
Tsarnaev's lead attorney, Judy Clarke, left little ambiguity in her opening statement as to how her team views their client's guilt.
"It was him," Ms. Clarke told the jury on Wednesday morning.
"We do not and will not at any point in this case sidestep or attempt to sidestep Dzhokhar's responsibility for his actions," Clarke added.

Summaries for Dyslexia
NINDS : 53 Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read. These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics among people with dyslexia are difficulty with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds), spelling, and/or rapid visual-verbal responding. In individuals with adult onset of dyslexia, it usually occurs as a result of brain injury or in the context of dementia; this contrasts with individuals with dyslexia who simply were never identified as children or adolescents. Dyslexia can be inherited in some families, and recent studies have identified a number of genes that may predispose an individual to developing dyslexia.
MalaCards based summary : Dyslexia is related to dyslexia 1 and dyslexia 2, and has symptoms including aprosodia An important gene associated with Dyslexia is DYX3 (Dyslexia Susceptibility 3). The drugs Levodopa and Dopamine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, testes and eye.
Disease Ontology : 12 A reading disorder resulting from a developmental reading disability involving the inability to process graphic symbols resulting in impairment of reading ability.
KEGG : 36 Dyslexia is defined by severe difficulties in reading acquisition, often accompanied by spelling difficulties and affects a large number of people (5-10%). It is caused by multiple genetic and environmental risk factors as well as their interplay. Several candidate genes have been identified in the past decade. However, effects of individual genetic variations on dyslexia-associated deficits are only moderate. At the brain level, dyslexia is associated with aberrant structure and function, particularly in left hemisphere reading-language networks.

Quins clinch Premiership final place
Harlequins reached their first Aviva Premiership final with a nail-biting 25-23 victory over Northampton, sealed four minutes from time when Joe Marler was driven over for a converted try.
Just 10 minutes earlier, Northampton appeared to have the game in the bag after Lee Dickson had finished off a 50-metre attack to put the Saints 23-15 ahead.
But Ryan Lamb, who kicked everything else all day, missed with his conversion attempt and that left the door ajar for Harlequins - and it was their pack who barged it open.
Nick Evans' sixth penalty took them within striking distance and then, with 76 minutes on the clock, Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw instructed his fly-half to kick the next penalty to touch.
And from the edge of the Northampton 22, the Harlequins pack launched a ferocious lineout drive with Marler touching down in a forest of legs.
Quins had not only driven Saints over their own line but also infield, leaving the victory conversion a formality for Evans.
It was heartbreaking on the day for Northampton, but over the course of the season Harlequins deserve a place in the final having led the Premiership since September 17.
Conor O'Shea's men will face Leicester across the A316 at Twickenham on May 26.

O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day! Most lamentable day, most woeful day, that ever, ever, I did yet behold! O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! Never was seen so black a day as this: O woeful day, O woeful day! Alack the day, fashion's dead, fashion's dead, fashion's dead! O me, O me! Help, help! Call help.
Today I committed the most fabulous of all fashion flops, the most furious of all fashion faux pas – it was truly calamitous. The dreaded VPL accosted my buxom bottom with careless caress. The Panty Line was Visible to all and sundry. So utterly Visible. It dug into my raunchy rear end with ravenous relish; a site so horribly tragic that sporadic squirms of distressed discomfort permeated my person as I imagined the horror that accosted the unfortunate vision of passers-by who, of course, were all staring at my disastrous derrière.
O woeful day!
The great thing about days is that they end.

Medicated lip balm is a tool which we use to prevent our lips from drying especially during a very hot weather. Medicated lip balm contains ingredients which would protect our lips from the harmful UV rays from the sun. There are also instances that our lips get easily peeled off when we eat very acidic and salty foods. This happens because our lips lack the proper vitamins and minerals to keep it healthy enough not to be affected by the chemical reaction that occurs in the lips when these types of foods come in direct contact with our lips. Medicate lip balm is very important because you cannot be fully assured that your body is safe for all those times when you went outdoors for any reasons.
There is nothing wrong with staying under the heat of the sun for a long time however there are certain precautions that you have to follow in order to keep yourself protected from its harmful rays. Rest assured that there are consequences that you must suffer when you go outdoors for 2 hours or so. One of which is the drying of the lips. To prevent things like this form happening, you have to secure a lip protector with you. A good one is the medicated lip balm
Medicated lip balm contains SPF 15
Medicated lip balm contains a sun protection factor which guarantees you that your lips will be safe from drying. SPF 15 is really important because if the substance that each lip balm need in order to cater its maximum benefits to the user. The lips are very sensitive and it easily responds to the changes of the temperature because of this feature. Notice that when it is very cold the lips become pale and numb. In contrast, the lips will dry and could even crack when the weather is too hot. The point is that the lips normally get affected when there are sudden changes in the temperature. This is just one of the many reasons why a medicated lip balm becomes a necessity. Medicated lip balm could be very helpful. There are times when we get too excited to go out of our comfortable homes and just enjoy the heat of the sun touching our bodies. Be very cautious however that the skin is one of the parts of our body that have very minimal amount of melanin which is our skin's protecting agent against the harmful UV rays of the sun. Putting this into consideration, the melanin that is contained in the lips is not enough to protect the lips when it is exposed at a very long time under the heat of the sun. Medicated lip balm is very useful when you do field work. There are certain careers that require a person to go out of the field for long hours in a day. People having these careers just need to be very careful with what they put on their body to guarantee them that they are still safe at the end of the time. Get a medicated lip balm with you to make sure that you have a protecting agent everywhere you go.
Medicated lip balm is ideal for chapped lips
Chapped lips are sometimes caused by the genes. Having chapped lips could sometimes be a common trait to the family and you cannot just do away with it. There are however causes of having chapped lips that are not related to hereditary factors. Chapped lips are gotten by a person when he is very exposed to the heat of the sun especially at consecutive days. There are even instances that the chapped lips could result to cold sores which are very painful and irritating at times. Cold sore is also caused by the direct heat of the sun touching the lips in a long period of time. Stress could also be a determinant which results to these lip problems. Medicated lip balms are very helpful in order for you to be 100% protected from these problems.
Medicated lip balm could be found at any drug store
There is no need for you to panic because medicate lip balms could be found at the nearest drug store you know. Medicated lip balm is even readily available in some convenience store. The price of medicate lip balm differs in terms of the brand. Medicated lip balm usually costs at around 2$.

A challenge from Grant Hanley on Gareth Bale saw the Tottenham star fail to return for the second half while Robert Snodgrass was dismissed for picking up a second yellow card following a lunging challenge on Welsh defender Chris Gunter.
Coleman said: "We knew it was going to be a tough game, it was quite physical, there were one or two brutal challenges but within the rules. I think they were clever, nothing nasty, they weren't trying to break anybody's legs but (it was) get the ball and get the man, in the laws of the game. There is nothing wrong with that, Scotland are entitled to do that."
He added: "I like that, football is a contact sport, I don't want to see non-contact but there were one or two heavy challenges and we guessed there would be but we didn't want to get sucked into that because that is not our game.
"If we had tried to fight Scotland I would have been sitting there with a frown because we would have lost, we had to try and play our game which we did."
Hanley gave the hosts the lead the against the run of play with a header from a Charlie Mulgrew corner in first-half stoppage time but Wales fought back and in the 70th minute Aaron Ramsey levelled from the spot after Snodgrass' dismissal.
Hal Robson-Kanu headed in the winner just over a minute later, with Ramsey ending the game on a sour note when he was shown a straight red card for denying James McArthur a goalscoring opportunity.
Coleman claimed it was a deserved win for his side who now have taken six points from five games with Scotland still sitting bottom of Group A with two.
The Wales boss said: "I thought we dominated the game for 30 minutes and almost became too comfortable, we started having too many touches and invited Scotland back in and they scored just before half-time. I didn't think that was a true reflection of the first half.
"They hit the post in the second half so we rode our luck a bit there but after that it was all us, we dominated possession and created chances and I think we thoroughly deserved to win the game."

Being a Student Buddy
Posted by Katie in History of Art on January 22, 2016
I finally finished my exams a couple days ago and now I'm in Italy for a few days before semester two begins! I'm the most chilled out I've been in a while and I'm very happy to be away from the library for a bit. It was starting to seem like my second home. The […]

Posted by Katie in History of Art on September 16, 2015

I would really recommend every Leicester student to get involved with some extracurricular activities while they're […]

The X-Files
Reviewed by Galen Strickland
I'm not sure why I didn't start watching this series from the beginning. A few years earlier it would have been because of my job as a movie projectionist, which had me working most Friday nights. I'm sure I did see a few episodes from time to time during the first three seasons, but I did watch regularly after it moved to Sundays. I continued into the eighth season at least, but lost interest due to the departure of Duchovny for most of the last two years, plus I wasn't fond of Scully's "magic baby" storyline. I'm not sure why, since Gillian Anderson was, and still is, my favorite actor on the show. Even though Duchovny did get top billing for the episodes in which he appeared, I've followed IMDb's lead in placing Anderson at the top of the cast list, both because of my appreciation for her work, and the fact that she was in every episode but one (due to her giving birth in real life). I recently finished rewatching the entire series, plus both movies, in anticipation of the new mini-series. I'm not sure I would have bothered if not for Gillian. She is not only a beautiful woman, she's a great actress, and it upset me to read she had problems in negotiating a salary equal to Duchovny's for the new episodes. She deserves the same, if not more.
If these Wikipedia pages are correct, it seems I wasn't watching much of anything on Fridays then. I know I did not watch the lead-in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. in 1993/94 (I have since), nor Mantis in '94, or Strange Luck in the fall of '95, nor any of the other network shows listed there. I did watch Sliders in spring '96, so I probably started watching The X-Files more regularly at that time too.
If and when I rewatch the series again I will likely skip a lot of the episodes, and they won't all be the stand-alone, non-alien conspiracy ones either. I grew tired of the inconsistencies in the alien arc stories, plus how they created even another conspiracy (or two) after the original ran its course. It seemed evident that a lot of Mulder's theories were correct, even though there were many times others tried to convince him that human agents were involved in creating the alien invasion conspiracy as a means of misdirecting his attention away from their real agenda. If they had concentrated on the alien invasion they might have had more success in keeping it consistent, although that would likely have led to a shorter series overall. One element I'm still not clear about is which of the abductions depicted were alien related (Cassandra Spender?) as opposed to those perpetrated by the secret conspiracy committee (Scully?). On the other hand, if they had gone with the stand-alone weird mystery of the week formula, it would probably have been even shorter, although maybe not as short as series creator Chris Carter's admitted inspiration, The Night Stalker. As with a lot of other SF or fantasy shows, the audience needs a surrogate viewpoint character, someone who is an outsider to the other-worldliness of the premise, in order to connect it to the real world. In this case, it would be Dr. Dana Scully, assigned to debunk FBI Agent Fox Mulder's wild speculations concerning the X-Files, but who eventually comes to a different assessment due to various phenomena she can't explain without resorting to paranormal theories.
The cast list in the Overview column is just the bare minimum. There are scores of others whose appearances were crucial to the various story arcs, even if those appearances were few and far between. Mitch Pileggi played FBI Assitant Director Walter Skinner, Mulder and Scully's direct supervisor. He vacillated between being a supporter of their work to a weak sycophant to his superiors, and I'm sure there were times even he didn't know on which side his loyalties lie. For the majority of the series, William B. Davis was referred to as either the "Cigarette Smoking Man" or "Cancer Man," although we eventually learned his real(?) name was CGB Spender. He didn't seem to have an official designation as a member of the FBI, and yet he wielded a tremendous amount of power there, as well as with the conspiracy committee. He was perhaps with the NSA or other intelligence group, and he had a history with Mulder's father, who had been with the State Department. The last three on the list, Harwood, Haglund and Braidwood, were characters created by writing partners Glen Morgan and James Wong. It is possible they were originally intended as minor, non-recurring characters, but they proved popular with both the writers and fans, returning for about thirty-five episodes, as well as being spun-off to their own short-lived (thirteen episodes) series, The Lone Gunmen. The concluding cliffhanger episode of that series was finally resolved in the original show's last season.
To get into other actors who played a major part in various arcs, you'd have to start with Jerry Hardin, introduced as Mulder's informant in the second episode, and thereafter only known by that episode's title, Deep Throat, a reference to Bob Woodward's confidential informant in the Watergate investigation. His function was later assumed by Steven Williams, credited only as Mr. X. Chris Owens appeared in thirteen episodes, originally as "Young Cigarette Smoking Man" in Season Four, later as FBI Agent Jeffrey Spender. We learn he is the son of CGB Spender, and a little later it is revealed he is also [REDACTED]. The series also featured early appearances from actors ranging from Bryan Cranston, Bradley Whitford, Seth Green, Jack Black, Ryan Reynolds and Mark Sheppard. The high profile of the show also attracted quite a few established stars, including John Neville (also in the first movie), Darren McGavin, Bruce Campbell, Lily Tomlin, Ed Asner, Adam Baldwin and Lucy Lawless. Since the first five seasons were filmed in Canada, many of the guest stars would be quite familiar to anyone who's watched much TV the past couple of decades, even if you don't know them by name. That would include Teryl Rothery, Callum Keith Rennie, John Pyper-Ferguson, Mark Pelligrino and Titus Welliver, among many more. Perhaps my two favorite episodes were stand-alones; "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" featured a terrific and poignant performance by the late Peter Boyle, and Lili Taylor was a blind woman with a special gift in "Mind's Eye". In a case of what could be considered a reverse spin-off, Lance Henricksen reprised his role of Frank Black from Carter's Millennium after that show had ended.
Not as successful (in my opinion) were the too frequent comical episodes, which bordered on self-parody. IMDb features viewer ratings on individual episodes, and it surprises me that some I felt were completely ridiculous are highly rated by others. The worst of these (again, just my opinion), was "The Post-Modern Prometheus" from Season Five. It was in black and white, and featured John O'Hurley (Seinfeld's J. Peterman) as a Dr. Frankenstein-like character. It didn't even have the excuse of being a Halloween episode; it was broadcast on Nov. 30. Another that didn't work for me was "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'", with Charles Nelson Reilly as an author who twists Mulder and Scully's story into a preposterous fantasy. Not quite as bad, but still pointless, was "Hollywood A.D.", with Téa Leoni (Duchovny's wife at the time) as an actress (herself) portraying Scully in a movie, with Garry Shandling as Mulder. There are quite a few others, but luckily I've blanked them from my mind already. Michael McKean recurred four times (and once on The Lone Gunmen) as Morris Fletcher, an Area 51 "Man in Black"/con man, and while each of those episodes had their share of comedy, his performance lifted them above others.
The success of the show through its first five seasons led 20th Century Fox to order a feature film, which premiered on June 19, 1998. I think it was well received by most fans, although if figures available at IMDb are correct, it just barely made back its considerable budget. If it was successful in the long run, by both the creator and the studio's estimation, the main reason was because it wisely stuck to the alien conspiracy arc, filling in some of the blanks left from storylines established in the series. All the main actors from the series are featured, along with a few that had barely been established, most notably three from Spender's conspiracy group. John Neville was only ever credited as "Well-Manicured Man", and this film was his final appearance. George Murdock and Don S. Williams were also part of the group, and they continued for a few more series episodes later. Other highlights are Blythe Danner, Armin Mueller-Stahl, and one of my all-time favorites, Martin Landau. Chris Carter must really like Terry O'Quinn, even though his role here is brief. He had already appeared as a different character in a Season Two episode, then came back for another in Season Nine. He also appeared in two other Carter creations, Millennium and Harsh Realm.
As happens with a lot of shows, fans had been wondering whether or not Mulder and Scully would ever become a romantic couple. Thankfully, that was not finalized in the movie, which was best in my opinion. Only those already fans would have cared or felt the necessity, and the movie had to appeal to those who had never watched the series. I think the script and performances were good for the most part, both for fans familiar with the mythology as well as those who weren't. One exception would probably be the inclusion of the Lone Gunmen, obviously only a fan service. Carter is on record as wanting the series to end after Season Five, with the story continuing in theatrical features, but FOX felt it was too lucrative a TV property to abandon that route. Carter was probably right.
Almost all of Season Six were stand-alone episodes, with an alien storyline only coming back in the finale. Then the original conspiracy arc was completed early in Season Seven, and another had to be created to replace it. By that time, Duchovny had already been expressing interest in leaving the show. Everything from Six to the first few episodes of Seven could have been compressed into another movie, but Fox wanted them to continue churning out episodes instead, so stories had to be developed which would allow Duchovny some time off. He continued through Seven, which ended with him being abducted by aliens (or so we're led to believe). It was hard to tell with this show sometimes, with scenes of Mulder on an alien craft possibly only in his head. I don't have anything against either Robert Patrick or Annabeth Gish, in fact I liked them in almost all their episodes in the final two seasons. And it's not like any of those episodes were any weaker than many that came before, but it was easy to see that even Anderson wasn't having a lot of fun, only fulfilling her contractual obligations. It also didn't help that when Duchovny did return for the series finale, the script was weak and the production seemed to suffer from a very limited budget. I'm actually surprised any of them wanted to do another movie after that.
Yet the careers of Carter, Anderson and Duchovny were all slow in the years between the end of the series and the second film in 2008, which was subtitled "I Want To Believe", which had long been Mulder's mantra. The only credits Carter had were for four "mythology" documentaries on The X-Files. Anderson was in one well-reviewed BBC mini-series (Bleak House) and one marginally successful film (The Last King of Scotland), along with a few other minor roles. Duchovny had a few minor movies and TV guest appearances, and had just begun the Showtime series Californication. Even though that eventually ran seven seasons, at the time it wasn't clear if it was going to be a hit. I'm sure Carter had been working on a script for a long time, but since almost all of the main story arcs had completed, it was inevitable that this movie was going to be a stand-alone story. It took many illogical plot twists to justify Mulder being asked back into an FBI investigation, but I can't say anything about that or else I'd spoil the end of the series for those who haven't seen it. Suffice it to say that I don't think they should have bothered with this film.
The story revolves around a defrocked priest (Billy Connolly) who claims to have psychic visions. He has led the FBI to a location where they uncover partial remains, a severed arm, which they link to the disappearance of another agent. Mulder is convinced of Father Joe's ability, Scully is once again the skeptic. She has returned to medical practice although it seems she and Mulder are still a couple (or maybe a couple again). At least for a while. It's the kind of story that would have made a fairly decent forty-two minute episode, but it fails to be compelling as a feature film. The weakest part for me was Scully thinking that Mulder was believing the priest as a way of still seeking his abducted sister, which makes no sense at all unless what we learned in the series was wrong. It also didn't help that Mulder and Scully were at odds through most of the film, whereas in the series, and the first film, they were steadfastly loyal to each other. The budget was only about half as much as the first film, plus they were back to shooting in Canada, although it was supposed to be set in West Virginia. Too many night scenes, too much bleak wind and snow, and a depressing story on top of that. [Spoiler]Plus the death of a favored actress. No, not Gillian.[/Spoiler] I'll likely never want to watch it again. I had not seen it until a couple of days ago, so if anything that occurred in it carries over to the new mini-series at least it will be fresh in my mind.
In spite of some comments above that may seem negative, I still like the series overall and recommend it. If you haven't seen the series yet there are several ways you can watch it. It is streaming on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, and has been on all three for quite a while, although there's no guarantee that will last forever. Neither of the movies are streaming free, but you can rent them from Amazon Video. You can either search for listings of all the main alien episodes and watch just those, or all the stand-alones for a different marathon. Or start from the beginning and watch all of them, or at least until you decide the show isn't satisfying you. As I said previously, if I do another rewatch I'll know which ones I'll want to skip. Most of the original and reissued DVD sets seem to be out-of-production, although some are available through Amazon. The originals had bulky fold-out disc cases, the reissues were in 'slim-line' cases. During my search today I found very high prices on some seasons, with lower ones apparently from Canada. They say they are Region 1, but there is French text on the covers. The entire series is now available on Blu-Ray, either for individual seasons (Season One) or the Complete Series. The two movies are available on Blu-Ray in a Combo Pack. If you haven't upgraded to Blu-Ray yet, or just want to save a bit of money, you can get all nine seasons and both movies in a Combo Deal from Amazon. I have no idea how long current prices will hold, they could easily go up soon. I want to stress that just because we'll get a small commission if you purchase through either of those links, you shouldn't buy this series unless you already like it and haven't bought it yet. Otherwise, a subscription to either Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime would be much more reasonable, and they all offer a free trial period.
I'll return to this page after at least a few of the new episodes air, or maybe I'll wait until all six have been broadcast. I will give my impression of them, whether it's positive or negative.

These things automate the update/release cycle. For now, a user has to manually do "google search" for update and install the package.
This is an annoying thing to do.
It's very disappointing. Apache other products like Netbeans is available in all from Snapstore to Flathub repository, but not this.
Probably why people depend on LibreOffice so much.
Do something about this. (Else, clear my doubts if I said something wrong.)
