GM has announced that is partnering with Hawaii utility The Gas Company to develop hydrogen fueling infrastructure on the island of Oahu.
The utility produces hydrogen along with synthetic natural gas. Through this partnership, it will tap into its pipelines, separate the jaygalbraith.com hydrogen from the natural gas and http://www.hasselaar.nl/buying-generic-levitra deliver it to fueling stations where it can be used by fuel cell cars. GM says that because the hydrogen fuel will be delivered through existing infrastructure, it could be priced equally to or less than gasoline.
GM is essentially using Hawaii as a testing ground for ramping up its production and testing of fuel cell cars. The company is working on canadian cialis and healthcare a fuel cell system that could be ready for commercialization by 2015 and this pilot project will help pave the way for its launch.
This project is great for Hawaii too as the island state is an ideal location for fuel cell cars for a few reasons: it has an abundant source of hydrogen fuel, it has a great need for a clean alternative to petroleum (it currently imports oil for 90 percent of its energy needs) and the state has made commitments to www.accessibleadventuresvt.org reduce petroleum use and to get 70 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.

You know, if the goal is to make cars move, they could just eliminate one or two steps there.
written by jjpro, May 20, 2010
The hydrogen produced is cialis 20 mg canada a by-product of the synthesized natural gas, so why not use it in a non-polluting vehicle? You get an over 60% reduction in CO2, along with an over 90% reduction in criteria pollutants. This makes a lot of sense. The fuel-cell vehicle is 3x as efficient as a gas-burning one, so your cost per mile will be less than a conventional vehicle. This is a win-win-win-win proposition. The customer wins, the environment wins, the suppliers win, and the islands win.
When you really look into hydrogen, it is a true winner; that is why Germany, Japan, South Korea, and others are moving toward hydrogen-energy technologies for transportation and other needs. The automobile manufacturers have done the math. People in this country ought to listen.

Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne is a prequel novel to the Dragon Age: Origins video game. It was written by BioWare developer and writer David Gaider to introduce the reader to the world of Dragon Age. It was released in March 3, 2009.
Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne was followed by another prequel novel, Dragon Age: The Calling, later the same year.
Synopsis Edit
When the beloved rebel queen is murdered, her son Maric sets out on a mission of vengeance against the faithless lords who were responsible for his mother's untimely death. The nation of Ferelden that once prospered under his family's reign now suffers under the cruel hands of the invading Orlesians. His countrymen now live in fear and no one is to be trusted.
Maric soon becomes the leader of a rebel army hell-bent on retaking Ferelden from the control of a foreign tyrant. With only two true allies by his side, the brash outlaw Loghain Mac Tir and the beautiful warrior maiden Rowan, Maric and his trusted band must outwit spies and traitors as they try to reclaim the stolen throne.
Plot Edit
An Orlesian, named King Meghren sits on the Fereldan throne and Moira the Rebel Queen has been killed by traitors led by Bann Ceorlic, but her son Maric escaped. While attempting to flee the assassins who killed his mother, Maric encounters Loghain, who is part of a band of Fereldan outlaws. Having no real alternatives, Maric joins up with them.
Maric is not able to stay at the outlaw camp long, as an Orlesian force looking for him attacks. Though the camp is destroyed, Loghain is able to lead Maric to safety by taking him to the Korcari Wilds, a region avoided by most due to its dangers. They are taken prisoner by a clan of Dalish elves, who turn the pair over to the mysterious Witch of the Wilds, who enables them to pass through the Wilds safely. She provides this help on the condition that Maric makes her a promise. What this promise is remains unknown. She also warns Maric that a Blight will one day happen in Ferelden, and that Loghain will betray Maric if the young king keeps him close, "each time worse than the last".
After escaping the Wilds, Maric and Loghain meet up with Moira's rebel soldiers who are now led by Arl Rendorn Guerrin. Amongst these troops is Rowan, Maric's betrothed and Rendorn's daughter. The next few years see Maric, Loghain and Rowan become close friends as they strengthen the rebel army until it is in a position to take Gwaren, a Fereldan town. The attack is successful and the rebels conquer the town, their first real victory in years.
An elf by the name of Katriel, who claims to be a messenger, warns them of an impending attack on Gwaren and they are able to repel it. After this, Katriel and Maric begin a relationship. However, Katriel is a spy for Meghren, hired by his mage advisor Severan. She provides Maric with false information that convinces him to attack the fortress of West Hill. This attack results in massive loss of life for the rebel army, and Maric, Loghain and Rowan being separated from the remainder of the army.
Regretting her deception and developing real feelings for Maric, Katriel leads Maric, Loghain and Rowan into the Deep Roads, hoping to use the underground passages to return to Gwaren. While travelling through the Deep Roads, they fight Corrupted Spiders and are rescued from a darkspawn attack by a company of the Legion of the Dead, whom Maric convinces to join his cause in exchange for glory and redemption. Once they return to Gwaren, they find the remnants of the rebel army; its morale bolstered by Maric's return, the rebel army, with the help of Gwaren's townsfolk, overcome an Orlesian army sent to destroy them and once again secure the town. With Maric thought to have risen from the dead, and the continuing cruelty of the Orlesians, there is now widespread support for Maric and the rebel cause; riots and rebellion against Orlesian rule erupt across Ferelden. Meghren tries to reinforce his rule with heavy-handed brutality, but this only incites further rebellion by the people, and goads most of his grudging supporters amongst the Fereldan nobility and the Chantry to abandon him and support Maric.
By this time, Loghain and Rowan have formed a romantic bond, but Loghain has also discovered Katriel's betrayal and reveals it to Maric. After confronting and extracting a confession from her, Maric kills Katriel, only to regret his action later. Following her death, Loghain encourages Rowan to become Maric's wife and queen, for Maric's and Ferelden's benefit. She reluctantly agrees and with increased momentum and growing support, victory is all but assured for the rebels. Maric lures the traitor nobles who murdered his mother into an ambush and executes them for their treason, before departing to kill Severan on advice left to him by Katriel before her death. At the same time, Rowan and Loghain lead the Fereldan rebels to victory over the chevaliers at the Battle of River Dane.The novel closes with Mother Ailis, who once lived within the outlaw camp, telling Maric's and Rowan's son Cailan stories of his father; that after three more years of war, Denerim fell to the rebels after a long siege, Meghren was defeated and executed for his crimes against Ferelden's people and Maric crowned King. She concludes by revealing that Maric has become a popular king, Loghain has become a powerful Teyrn, married and had a daughter, and Rowan has died after a long illness. After relating this, Ailis chases after Cailan who has run off into the distance.

The Sony Xperia TL is a fantastic value and Sony's best U.S. smartphone yet.
The addition of Wi-Fi makes the RIM BlackBerry 8820 an even more powerful communication device for business users, taking it beyond just e-mail and phone calls.
The $99.99 Sony Xperia Ion looks like a good Android deal but its weaknesses make it not worth even the budget price.
The Toshiba Excite 10 SE looks like, and is, a generic budget-range 10-inch Android tablet...nothing more, nothing less.
The AT&T Fusion is fine if you're a patient soul who doesn't expect much in a handset but wants to make the jump to Android. For everyone else, I suggest you move on.
The Sharp FX has plenty of multimedia features and additional services to occupy socialites and text-happy users, but mediocre call quality and some usability flaws keep it from fulfilling its complete potential.
For the globe-trotting executive, the RIM BlackBerry 8830 is a powerful voice and messaging tool that offers world roaming and solid performance.
The Toshiba Thrive 7-inch is a decent tablet, but there are simply better options out there for the price.
The Toshiba Thrive is a bulky but aggressively priced Honeycomb tablet that earns its girth with full port support and a removable battery.
Though it has a few design quirks, the AT&T Quickfire's impressive feature set and intuitive controls make it one of the better messaging phones out there.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- BlackBerry Inc. BBRY, -5.93% saw its shares slip more than 3% in pre-market trades on Wednesday morning after the company indicated that the U.S. launch of its Q10 smartphone - which features a physical keyboard - may come later than previously expected. In an interview with the Associated Press, CEO Thorsten Heins said the Q10 would likely come to market eight-to-ten weeks after the launch of the touchscreen Z10. Since the Z10 is currently expected to launch in the U.S. sometime in March, that would imply a launch window of May-June for the Q10. Previous expectations had the smartphone hitting the U.S. market sometime in April. "We're trying to get it as close as we can," Heins told the AP.

The Mule™ 4010 4x4 side x side utility vehicle features a sure-footed four-wheel drive system and is loaded with great features to help you arrive and get things done on the toughest job sites. Besides its convenient selectable four-wheel drive system, it also features a heavy-duty full-sized chassis, reliable digital fuel injection, electric power steering (EPS), fully automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a tilting cargo bed.
Durable 4WD Utility Vehicle Receives Smart Upgrades for 2013
The Mule™ 4010 4x4 side x side utility vehicle features a sure-footed four-wheel drive system and is loaded with great features to help you arrive and get things done on the toughest job sites. Besides its convenient selectable four-wheel drive system, it also features a heavy-duty full-sized chassis, reliable digital fuel injection, electric power steering (EPS), fully automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a tilting cargo bed.
For 2013 the list of Mule 4010 features grows with the addition of a strong new tubular steel front brush guard that improves durability and helps protect the nose. Other new features include a new easy to read digital fuel gauge and hour meter, a new dash-mounted horn button that eliminates unintended honking while turning, a new sport-style steering wheel that's 33% thicker and covered in softer material for enhanced comfort, and a new 2" hitch receiver hitch that enables towing of up to 1,200 lbs.
The Mule 4010 4x4's industrial strength liquid-cooled 617cc V-twin engine is managed by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and is fed by a fuel injection system that compensates for variations in atmospheric pressure, engine and air temperature. This combination results in consistent starts and ultra-precise fuel metering, both of which help reduce fuel consumption and limit emissions. An automatic fast idle speed control activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a manual choke. The ECU also regulates top engine speed, which means the Mule doesn't need a mechanical governor.
This powerful V-twin engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features both high and low range, plus a reverse gear. Power is transmitted through a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive system to a dual-mode rear differential that can be locked to maximize traction, or unlocked to improve handling and minimize ground disturbance when negotiating tight turns. Mule 4010 drivers can also engage four-wheel drive for extra traction in tricky conditions.
The Mule 4010 4x4's rack-and-pinion steering is assisted by an electric power steering (EPS) system that can reduce turning effort by up to 30 percent while offering a significant boost at low speeds in four-wheel drive. The EPS system automatically determines how much assistance is needed using input from vehicle speed and torque sensors.
The forward/reverse, high/low-range and the four-wheel drive selectors are all within easy reach on the dash so drivers can focus more attention on negotiating rough or tricky terrain. The coolant temperature warning light is easy to see, and a push-button control activates the headlights. Other standard features include a digital combo fuel gauge and hour meter, dash-mounted horn and an air restrictor gauge to indicate when the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The fuse box and oil dipstick are located beneath the seat for quick access.
The roomy cab is surrounded by an extremely strong large-diameter steel Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) that meets SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5 requirements for wheeled tractors, and also meets the FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement.
With its rugged and modern bodywork, this four-wheel drive utility is a natural in the tough pickup truck work environment. Its body panels are manufactured from a durable, color-molded plastic that helps hide minor scuffs and scratches. The front hood can be opened with the pull of a dash-mounted knob and allows access to a deep storage space equipped with convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally, two levers make opening and closing the tailgate a secure and easy process.
The convenience factor on the Mule 4010 4x4 extends beyond easy-access latches or controls; the machine also features owner-friendly touches like the winch-ready tabs located under the front grille, which greatly simplify the winch-mounting process.
The Mule 4010 4x4's heavy-duty chassis includes a strong ladder-type frame riding on a DeDion-type rear leaf-spring suspension designed to carry heavy loads yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo bed is empty. MacPherson struts handle front suspension duty and provide an optimum balance of comfort and load capacity. Effective stopping power is provided by four hydraulically operated, self-adjusting, sealed drum brakes designed to resist contamination from water, mud and other debris. Large 23-inch low-pressure tires provide a comfortable ride, superb traction and help minimize impact over a variety of terrain.
The Mule 4010 4x4 can carry 800 pounds in its steel cargo bed and is capable of towing up to 1,200 pounds with its standard 2" receiver hitch and an optional draw bar.
Other popular accessories include an enclosed cab, cab heater, snow plow and soft or hard tops. These and many other Genuine Kawasaki Accessories are available through authorized Kawasaki dealers.

December is a wonderful time of year, filled with holiday cheer, delicate snowflakes, warm nights next to crackling fireplaces and, my favorite, best-of lists. And looking back on 2013, I had my work cut out for me. It has been a truly fantastic year for cinema.
Sure, things started off slow with a certain amount of the typical drivel throughout January, February and March, but even then, Hollywood mixed in some truly interesting and compelling films. You won't see Park Chan-wook's deliciously sinister Stoker, Steven Soderbergh's hair-raising psychological thriller Side Effects or Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl's excellent doc Sound City here, but in a weaker year, all three could have easily made the cut.
As 2013 progressed and summer set in, cinema picked up steam with a sprinkling of surprisingly good blockbusters (The Great Gatsby, Fast & Furious 6) and smart, character-driven indies (The Kings of Summer, Drinking Buddies). Nothing, however, could have prepared me for this fall, throughout which studios dished out countless terrific films in each and every genre, so many that this critic kept waiting anxiously for the other shoe to drop. But, do you know what? It never did. 2013 has been a year packed with a range of high-quality films. I don't envy the Academy this year – whatever they choose, there will be many critics who'll loudly decry their picks and point to various other deserving actors, actresses and filmmakers.
Coming up with a top 10 list this year was tricky, but I'm happy with my picks. I can't claim to have seen every movie that came out this year – Captain Phillips, Rush, American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street all evaded me. That said, my hope in constructing this top 10 list is that readers will uncover some hidden gems, take a closer look at some of the more popular picks and gain a broader picture of what cinema looked like in 2013 as a whole.
Some excellent films that didn't quite make the cut:
20. The Great Gatsby
19. Her
18. Fast & Furious 6
17. Side Effects
16. Only God Forgives
15. Drinking Buddies
14. Sound City
13. Pacific Rim
12. Stoker
11. The Kings of Summer
And now to the list! Happy reading!Next
10) Stuck in Love
Unfairly ignored upon its release, this quiet and unassuming family drama is packed with real feeling. A heartwarming and remarkably assured debut by writer/director Josh Boone, Stuck in Love was one of my most unexpected cinematic pleasures this past year.
Following a dysfunctional family of writers torn apart by divorce, Stuck in Love steers clear of genre tropes to tell a sweet, realistic story about human behavior, familial ties and the nature of creative writing. Boasting a stellar cast led by Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly, Stuck in Love has more truth to it than any other romantic drama this year, and its honest nature is truly refreshing.
That's not say that it aims low; conversely, Stuck in Love works diligently to bring together an ensemble cast in ways both organic and unconventional. With a hugely talented supporting cast including Lily Collins, Logan Lerman, Nat Wolff and Liana Liberato (all the best they've ever been), crafting a narrative that does justice to each character must have been extremely difficult. That it succeeds so completely is a testament to Boone's overwhelming talent. Few directors had stronger debuts this year.
Stuck in Love is a beautiful, heartfelt gift to writers, but it should be seen by just about anyone who enjoys getting swept up in a genuine story.Previous Next
9) The Conjuring
The year's scariest movie is also one of its best. As directed by James Wan, The Conjuring is a brilliant nail-biter, a frightfest masterfully crafted by a true lover of the genre. Strong turns from Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson just add to the film's sense of professionalism. This is a classic haunted-house movie done deliciously right. More than in any other horror film in recent memory, I cared about the characters of The Conjuring, and if that's not a tribute to the power of the film's cast, I don't know what is.
Wan's flare for sound effects and set design makes The Conjuring a treat for all the senses, as well as a genuinely great horror flick. The director creatively utilizes every dark corner and seemingly innocuous prop to construct an almost unbearable atmosphere of dread, without delving into the same blood-and-guts of the Saw franchise he pioneered. It's old-fashioned but in such a way that reminds us what we loved about the horror genre to begin with. You'll never see a childish game of clap hide-and-go-seek the same way again, and that's a very good thing.Previous Next
8) The Hunt
The first of two films on this list featuring a script by Danish writer/director Tobias Lindholm, The Hunt turns a searing spotlight on a small Danish community, envisioning what horrors unfold when a blatant lie about a kindergarten teacher (Mads Mikkelsen) spreads like wildfire. The strength of the movie, as co-written and directed by Thomas Vinterberg, is its willingness to provide brutal, frighteningly plausible answers to the tough questions it asks.
Vinterberg expertly builds an atmosphere of palpable dread in his small-town setting to match The Hunt's dark story. Mikkelsen is electric and awards-worthy in the lead role of Lucas, a teacher wrongly accused of sexual misconduct with a young pupil. He's aided by an excellent supporting cast including Thomas Bo Larson and incredible child actor Annika Wedderkopp.
The Hunt is far from an easy film to watch, but it's also a very important one. In exploring how today's tight-knit communities allow the dark side of human nature to emerge through exercises in mob mentality, it crafts an utterly chilling, ripped-from-the-headlines modern tragedy. You won't be able to tear your eyes away.Previous Next
7) Spring Breakers
Some people will watch Spring Breakers in hopes of witnessing former Disney starlets Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens break bad. And that's just fine, if it means that more people will see Harmony Korine's brilliant, darkly hilarious ode to the hedonistic, candy-colored fantasy of spring break.
Nightmarish, neon-heavy camerawork captures the intensity and opacity of the haze of drugs, sex and alcohol in which the film's young stars find themselves, and it also drives home the sense that Korine is filming a paradise lost. His messages in Spring Breakers are dark ones: materialism has fostered a disconnect between actions and responsibilities so severe that American morals have been irreversibly eroded. The American education system has failed, so much so that the girls at the film's center feel so wound up and infuriated by the pointlessness of it all that their shaking off of responsibilities involves indulging in the same boozy gun fantasies imparted to them through a lifetime of violent video games. Korine films it all with the intrusive, sleazy gaze of a Girls Gone Wild choreographer.
"Bikinis and big booties, y'all, that's what life is about!" howls James Franco's gonzo gangster Alien in one scene. He's that party boy who never went home, completely committed to the booze-soaked wonderland he calls home. And Franco plays him brilliantly – watch him proudly proclaim, "Look at my shit!" to Hudgens' Candy and Ashley Benson's Brit as he displays everything from dark tanning oil to loaded semiautomatics, and you'll understand why Annapurna's Oscar bid for him is deadly serious. Hudgens and Benson are also both terrifically unhinged.
In a word, Spring Breakers is unforgettable. But this is a film that deserves so much more than a one-word consensus. It deserves to be discussed, analyzed and watched countless times. See it and soak it up, because Spring Breakers is Korine's most thought-provoking work since Kids.Previous Next
6) The Spectacular Now
Bringing the teen drama subgenre back down to Earth, James Ponsoldt's smart look at teenagers on the cusp of adulthood is easily one of the most affecting coming-of-age stories of recent years. It walks a fine line, treating its subjects with the utmost respect but never glorifying them. As a result, Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), a fun-loving senior caught up in the fantasy of eternal spontaneity, and Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley), a kind-hearted girl patiently biding her time until college, are two of the most honest and believable on-screen teens I've ever seen.The actors are fantastic, each turning in graceful, sincere performances. The chemistry between Teller and Woodley never feels forced, and their relationship is innately, sometimes painfully, realistic.
It's very rare that a film feels as heartfelt and plainly beautiful as The Spectacular Now. It deals with difficult subject matter, from the inevitable fear that comes with moving on from high school to the passionate, ephemeral nature of first love, but Ponsoldt approaches it with such care and reverence that not once does it feel exploitative, cheesy or calculated. Indeed, it really is spectacular.Previous Next
5) A Hijacking
Every once in a while, a movie comes along that proves innovation is still alive and well in filmmaking. A Hijacking, an extraordinary Danish film written and directed by Tobias Lindholm, is one of those movies. A thriller that at every turn defies the conventions of its genre, A Hijacking is a truly stunning achievement.
Focusing on the hijacking of a Danish cargo ship by Somali pirates, and the ensuing negotiations ostensibly intended to rescue the ship's crew, Lindholm's film thrives on searing silences and tense conversations. He opts never to show the hijacking at all, immediately jumping from before the appearance of the pirates' motorboats to after their successful takeover. The focus here is clearly on complex human interaction over high-budget action, but the film is all the more explosive for that unique perspective.
Two electric performances succeed in making the film's quietest moments its most heart-pounding. Pilou Asbæk, playing the terrified cook on board the hijacked ship, captures the complex emotional journey of a man held at gunpoint for weeks on end, exhibiting terror, anger and, finally, disturbing detachment. Søren Malling is equally good as the CEO of the ship's company, who feels the overwhelming weight of his men's lives and is slowly crushed by the pressure of heading up negotiations.
An unequivocally tense and terrific thriller, A Hijacking captivates with innovative direction, stunning performances and a grittily realistic, utterly engrossing atmosphere.Previous Next
4) Inside Llewyn Davis
Life's hard for Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac), the tragicomic hero of the Coen Brothers' ode to the starving artist. A folk singer determined to make his own kind of music and also find success, Llewyn is stuck in a rut. He's old-fashioned to make it big but too committed to his bit to ever compromise. Isaac makes the character incredibly likable, even in moments of frustrating stubbornness and coldness towards others. The Coen Brothers don't deal in simple protagonists, and Llewyn is certainly complex enough to hold his own film. He's grieving his partner's death, struggling to make his way in the world, failing to build relationships with the people in his life and simply unwilling to confront his own shortcomings.
All of this comes out in the film's music, which truly takes us inside Llewyn Davis in a way better experienced than described. Three of the film's central songs – "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me," "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)," and "The Death of Queen Jane" – are still swirling around in my head and giving me new things to consider about Inside Llewyn Davis.
Jean (Carey Mulligan, wonderfully tart) says at one point, "That's why all the same shit is going to keep happening to you, because you want it to!" She has a point, and the Coen Brothers expertly capture both the cyclic nature of Llewyn's existence and his willingness to keep going round and round. He's hoping for a break but lacks the drive or originality to earn one. Thematically, the film is as rich and layered as anything the Coen Brothers have ever done. Particularly, James Joyce's Ulysses plays a major role in the story, one that becomes more pronounced upon multiple viewings. The writer-directors do right by their 1961 Greenwich Village setting, and they work Llewyn into the time period so seamlessly that every aspect of his character rings true.
Inside Llewyn Davis is one of the Coen Brothers' darkest and most relentlessly melancholy works. It's also one of their finest and most fully formed.

3) Prisoners
Denis Villeneuve's complex and compelling thriller is one of the most unshakable cinematic experiences of the year. Powered by two career-best performances by Jake Gyllenhaal, as the determined cop on the trail of two abducted children, and Hugh Jackman, as a grieving father who decides to take justice into his own hands, Prisoners is not just a thriller. It's also an aggressively intelligent character study, as well as a meticulous dissection of society and justice. The greatest triumph of Prisoners is how it exposes both the savagery of human instinct and the folly of human desire to build order out of a very natural state of chaos.
Villeneuve's devotion to establishing and maintaining a nauseatingly nightmarish atmosphere, coupled with the resounding strength of his cast's performances, turns Prisoners into something exceedingly ambitious and memorable. Moral quagmires abound in Prisoners, and the way Villeneuve approaches them is both innovative and disturbing. Prisoners asks a lot of scary questions and poses even scarier answers, presenting itself as equal parts ethical mind-bender and relentless thriller. It's bold, brutal and unforgettable.
Prisoners is one of the must-see films of 2013. In its refusal to give easy answers, its commitment to developing strong and believable characters and its determination to delve into the darker side of human nature, the film transcends the limitations of its genre to become something much more interesting, not to mention much better. Prisoners captivates, in all the best ways.Previous Next
2) 12 Years A Slave
Steve McQueen's retelling of the ordeal of Solomon Northup, a freed man who was abducted and sold as a slave in the 1840s, is the most difficult film you'll watch this year. It's also an extremely important landmark in cinema, a film about slavery that's quite possibly essential in its determination to face the horrors of the past.
The greatest triumph of 12 Years A Slave is how masterfully McQueen guides our eyes. In one scene, a horrific whipping focuses first on the individual meting out the punishment, and the audience winces just hearing the violent crack of the whip. Then, McQueen slowly pans around, to show us the results, the blood sprays and flying pieces of flesh ripped out of a slave's back. It's a heart-rending, stomach-churning image, one that will be forever seared into the minds of its viewers. And that's exactly the point.
McQueen is gifted with the strongest cast of any film this year. Chiwetel Ejiofor stuns as Northup, communicating abject misery and smoldering fury with a single glance of his deep, emotive eyes. Stooped but never bowed, anguished but never shattered, Ejiofor radiates silent fortitude. Meanwhile, Michael Fassbender grounds his cruel plantation owner Edwin Epps in terrifying madness, turning in a volatile powder-keg of a performance. As Epps' abused slave Patsey, Lupita Nyong'o is all kinds of heartbreaking, exposing slavery's brutal, emotional toll with luminescent grace. The rest of the cast is aces as well, particularly Paul Dano as the sadistic Tibeats and Sarah Paulson as Epps' callous, jealous wife.
One more admirable aspect of 12 Years A Slave is McQueen's refusal to levy the blame at any one character. Despite all of the sickening evil on display, the culprit is a broken but widely accepted system, one in which complacency is the only viable option. Though Northup's ordeal ends after a little more than a decade, 12 Years A Slave brings us closer to the nightmarish reality of slavery than any film before it. For that, it's not only one of the year's best films, but its most crucial.Previous Next
1) Gravity
Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the special effects in Alfonso Cuarón's space-set thriller are out of this world. It's the most technically marvelous accomplishment of the year; no other film even comes close. However, there's much more to Gravity than its mind-blowing presentation. Despite its large scale and effects-heavy premise, Gravity is also the most deeply touching and emotionally draining film of the year.
Placing its dramatic weight squarely on Sandra Bullock's shoulders, Gravity tells a simple but oh-so-powerful story about life, death, courage and perseverance. Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a scientist on her first space walk who is also grieving the death of her child, with stunning openness, capturing an absorbing, compelling range of emotions that never feels less than truthful. George Clooney brings appropriate charisma and depth to a minimal supporting role, but his character acts more as a symbol than anything else.
That's another thing about Gravity. Cuarón packs the film (which we could easily call the director's masterpiece) with religious and cultural metaphors so potent and heartfelt that Gravity adopts an intimate, philosophical bent. The things that Cuarón puts up on the screen are gorgeous and heartbreaking in ways that words cannot do justice, so all I can say is that you should see Gravity. No, scratch that, you need to see Gravity. As soon as possible. It transcends the previously-set limitations of cinema to make the greatest film about space exploration, and perhaps the greatest film about the innate human drive to survive, of all time.Previous

Two new studies show that men and women who have children are less likely to die young.
One study from Denmark looked at men and women with biological children as well as those who adopted. The study, which was written about on WebMD, found that:
"Parenthood apparently decreased the risk of early death. Mothers with a biological child were four times less likely to die an early death than childless women."
"Fathers with a biological child were two times less likely to die an early death than childless men."
"Men who adopted were nearly half as likely to die early as men who had no children."
For women, the effect of adoption on longevity was not significant, Esben Agerbo, PhD, associate professor at Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark, said.
For the methodology and details on the study then please click here.
However the scientist says that it is just a link and does not prove cause and effect.
"He can only speculate as to why parenthood may increase longevity."
"My best guess is health behaviors," he says. "When people have kids, they tend to live healthier."
"They pay more attention, he says, to lifestyle habits. For instance, they may get to bed earlier and get more sleep, knowing they have to get up early to feed children and do other tasks."
However, another study out of Stanford University argues that people with fertility issues are more likely to have health problems that could lead to an earlier death.
"The new findings echo those of Michael Eisenberg, MD, director of male reproductive medicine and surgery at Stanford University."
"In a study published in 2011, he found that childless married men had a higher risk of dying from heart disease acquired after age 50 than did men with two or more children."
"The new study findings, he says, are "certainly consistent with the identified link between childlessness and cardiovascular mortality."
"As for how to explain the link, he says, "our group [of researchers] subscribes to a biologic link."
"He says that fertility problems, common among the childless, may share some of the same origins as other health problems."
I think it's a fascinating issue, and I have several thoughts on it
My husband thinks it's all about a stable environment. He says that people who have kids live in a stable environment and so they are more likely to take care of themselves and live longer.
So what do you think? Which relationship between living longer and having kids makes sense to you?
Do people with kids take better care of themselves because they have to be around to take care of the kids and/or because they have to set examples of healthy living?
Do you think there is a biological link where people who have fertility problems are more likely to have inherent health issues?
Or do you think it's a matter of a more stable life? That you wouldn't have kids if you weren't stable and stability leads to healthier living?

I don't think that is necessarily true. Even parents with young children can be involved in an accident which takes their lives, be the victim of a home robbery, etc. I think that it's great if parents can be good examples to their children, though. However, as I look around me, parents aren't a good example to their children. Good luck with that one! However, I look forward to reading others' thoughts and opinions on the subject!

I don't know yet – I'm still too young to be considered "old," but if I'm dead, then I'll be dead and won't care anyway.

I agree that the stability of the family can be a positive factor to longevity…and NO it doesn't have to be a traditional family unit, just one that loves each other and cares for the well being of each other. What I have a problem with is the difference between biological and adopted children…Why should it matter which you have when either type of children would be a benefit to a parents life?
December 11th, 2012
11:15 pm
After becoming a parent I definitely took less risks than before. I think that certainly weighs into the "average life span" equation. Before I became a parent, so what if I died doing something risky — anything from driving recklessly to climbing Mt Everest. After I became a parent I had to think, what would happen to my child if I die doing something reckless? The choices I see are awful and I will not risk putting my child into any of those situations.

Tiffany, the authors were trying to parse out if it was caused by biology (some change that happens in the body after having a child) or nurture (due to the parental feelings, perhaps.) It was NOT a dump on adoptive families!

@ Catlady…I told someone the other day (we were discussing my promotion), that if it were not for my kids I probably would be under a bed scared to death due to the economy! Now of course that is not the literal truth, but fact is I am better off now than when I divoced because of my kids. I work (darn) hard to give them a house, clothes, food, stabilty, & some "extras" when we can. I went back to school (still going) for a 2nd degree myself to do better for my kids. I can totally believe yours helped you work for that PhD.

Profesionalsim in the workplace HW #5
The mass distribution of photos and other media is always a ethical decision. Not everyone is going to agree with everything that is posted. The Associated Press published a picture of a fatally wounded soldiers prior to his death despite the pleas of the grieving family not to publish the picture. Even tho it was against the will of the soldiers parents to publish the picture i believe that it is important for the public to be educated on what the results of war we are fighting truly is. It may be unethical to go against the parents requests but i also consider it unethical to give inaugurate descriptions of events taking place in our own backyard or overseas at war and pictures like this tell it like it is.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 3, 2013
I watched a few of your videos and they're definatly putting a smile on my face (and that actually... is a big thing). So yeah... take my stars!
Thing is... you can do much better then this and get a better general rating. You can and should improve your artwork, since you seem to know how to draw (you put every asset in the right place but with fast and sloppy lines and taking shortcuts in animation). Maybe your goal shouldn't be pumping out a video as fast as possible but making a good one. Which is also a better marketing strategy, something I -as a nooby game developer- started realizing after releasing my share of easy flash. My suggestion is... try making a video with better art, but simpler animation. So simpler movement and stuff, so you can reuse drawings; by only changing the arm movement or something. I think that wouldn't cost you that much more work but will be more apreciated by a general public. Good luck with your future development, feel free to give me a poke when you need an oppinion on a future animation.
Thank you for all the inspiring words and useful information. :)

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 82 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by JDM13 The Best Workout Shirts on the Planet Always a constant snug, comfortable fit. Feels like a part of your body without the tightness of compression. They need to make more colors, I think I have them all. September 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hondo Cool in summer I can wear these shirts under my short sleeve shirt to keep me cool and not get sunburnt. August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by RedLady Very pleased! My son absolutely loves these. They keep him cool and dry. August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Cool Charactistics The shirt does everything I hoped it would. Keeps me cool even in 90 degree temperatures. My only concern is the shirt has so little body that it might lose its shape (e.g., around the neck). July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by adam Nike Men's Pro Combat 2.0 Fitted Long Sleeve Shirt Great fit. Wicks away sweat as advertised. I purchased the bright yellow and have used it on construction site when hi vis garment is required. July 22, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by kasavana27 Perfect gym and all purpose shirt This shirt is perfection. I workout in these (I now own 6, in different colors) and they are perfect for Crossfit/OLY lifts. Additionally they are great to hike or camp in because they are lightweight, durable, and breathable but will keep you covered. highest recommendations! July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Yack Quality and comfort in one package. Nike Dri-FIT� with mesh panels and wicking fabrication really does help keep me cool. I have been using the regular Dri-FIT� shirts with moderate success, but am thoroughly pleased with this new version. Primarily due to the mesh panels. The price is a little high but comparable to anyone else'. Over all a good quality shirt for a somewhat reasonable price. I would defiantly recommend this shirt to others and will be purchasing more of them for myself. July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bangotti Great Good fit and feels great . Good for workout and base layer June 3, 2014

1. Ashland Solar and Foote Creek II were included on the version of the list above that appeared in Exhibit H of the Regional Dialogue Agreements as of the Effective Date of those Agreements. Ashland Solar has been removed from the current list and will not be included in Tier 1 REC inventory until further notice because it is not metered separately from the host load, is not registered with WREGIS, and therefore does not have WREGIS RECs associated with it.

Fellow Swimmers Share How They Prep for a Meet
With the help of Aqua Sphere and SwimOutlet.com, I was granted the fun opportunity to host a contest that asked fellow swimmers to share their top tips for preparing for big swim meets. This contest was part of a mini-series called "Chasing 5" chronicling my pursuit of my 5th Olympic Games (in the midst of keeping up with my duties as a mom, wife and businesswoman!). I really loved this promotion because I got to interact with so many other talented swimmers and hear what works for them. I even may take a tip or two as I continue on my journey to the Olympic Games (fingers crossed)!
To end the contest, Aqua Sphere and SwimOutlet.com asked me to choose my three favorite tips. Winners won a signed copy of my new memoir, "In The Water They Can't See You Cry," as well as a gift card for awesome Aqua Sphere apparel!
Check out the winning entries I chose:
Winning Entry 1 – Grant: As an older swimmer, I prepare for a meet slightly differently than when in college. From a nutrition standpoint, I drink protein shakes within the hour of my morning training. Iwish I had done that 20+ years ago, but I'm not sure nutrition was really viewed as part of the training toolkit. I also try to eat many times a day and as much as possible. At 6'1", I'm down to 175 pounds, so to keep energy up and help my body recover, the protein and volume of food is a must. After all, you can't run a high horsepower motor with no gas in the tank!
From a mental aspect, knowing that some days I'm not going to be as fast as others in a workout is okay. As a sprinter, it's okay to swim and feel tired during the season, knowing how beneficialthe payoff will be when I taper. Also, I've learned to smile and really enjoy the sport and camaraderie – I used to be way too serious and wouldn't even talk to competitors. Now, I'm like a chatty 12-year-old and make it fun for all, including coaches. Live for the moment as the moments in swimming change.
Physically (and mentally, too), it comes down to a simple adage: "To swim fast, you have to swim fast." There are times when you have to push yourself to the limits. That's when you have to "attack" and think about what your goals are. Then, when you step up to the block, you have the confidence knowing you did all you could in preparation. Leave no doubt to yourself or anyone else. If you can do the "mirror test" (look at yourself in the mirror and honestly answer your own questions),you have no one else to answer to or anything else to prove!
Winning Entry 2 – Hanna: I prepare for every swim meet like it's my last. No matter if it's regionals, nationals, or just a time trial, to me, each meet is just as important. Each meet is a chance to feel the adrienaline rush of great racing.
In practice, I make sure I have the right feeling for the water. There's that feeling of fusion and ease that I long for with every stroke I take. Once I've found that right feeling, I know I am ready for the race.
At home, I make sure I watch even closer what I eat. I make sure to fuel mybody with the best foods, so I get the most out of every meal.
Mental preparation is key in swimming. They say every race is 20% physical and 80% mental, and I strongly believe it. A week prior to the meet, I begin to I visualize my races before bed each night. The dive, every stroke, every turn, the finish, and even what I am doing behind the blocks before the race even starts.
To me, there is nothing more satisfying than the adrienaline rush of racing. That's why I love swimming.
Winning Entry 3 – Amanda: The night before a meet I like to make sure I stretch a lot to loosen up my muscles. For dinner I eat pasta with a little bit of oil and a touch ofsalt and pepper. I like to make sure not to eat too much so I can go to bed early and have a good night sleep. While I lay in bed, I imagine myself swimming the race exactly the way I wish to swim when I am actually on the block.
The morning of a race, I eat a banana for the potassium and eat only healthy snacks throughout the day.
Before the meet, I jump up and down to get myself pumped for the meet. As I step onto the block, I clear my mind of any distractions and focus on my race. Before the referee blows the whistle, I close my eyes and visualize myself swimming the event with the speed and form that I wish to perform. When I hit the water, I swim with it, not against It – at that point, there is no turning back!
Good Luck Amanda Beard! You are my inspiration.
Congrats to Grant, Hanna and Amanda! And thanks to everyone else who participated.

If you didn't get a chance to share your tips on SwimOutlet.com, be sure to leave a comment here letting me know how YOU prepare for a big meet. I love to hear how other adults, especially swimmers, who are doubling up as parents AND athletes keep the competitive drive going!

If you're on Linkedin you've probably noticed that you can no endorse people's skills. What I can't figure out is why? When you look at my profile you'll see my skills listed, but nothing about them being endorsed – no rankings based on my colleagues who have said I know more about one topic over another. Anyone have any ideas?

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review evidence that
inflammatory and immune mechanisms are important in the pathophysiology of
Alzheimer's disease and to suggest new treatment strategies. METHOD: The
authors review the English-language literature of the last 10 years
pertaining to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. RESULTS: There is
ample evidence supporting the hypothesis that inflammatory and immune
mechanisms are involved in tissue destruction in Alzheimer's disease. Acute
phase proteins are elevated in the serum and are deposited in amyloid
plaques, activated microglial cells that stain for inflammatory cytokines
accumulate around senile plaques, and complement components including the
membrane attack complex are present around dystrophic neurites and
neurofibrillary tangles. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical trials of
anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive drugs are necessary to determine
whether alteration of these inflammatory mechanisms can slow the
progression of Alzheimer's disease.
