'I'm not saying he wasn't put in a dreadful position. But it's an inescapable fact he did it. He commanded those pilots to dive. To their deaths. Whatever the reasons.'
Opening the Finborough Theatre's Autumn Season, the world premiere of My Eyes Went Dark by Matthew Wilkinson – originally developed with the support of The National Theatre Studio.
Nikolai Koslov, a Russian architect and father, avenges the death of his family in a plane crash - by killing the air traffic controller he holds responsible. Maintaining he can't remember his crime, Koslov serves four years in a Swiss prison before being suddenly released. Back home he is greeted as a national hero and is even given a ministerial position. But guilt and remorse cannot stay buried forever.
Two actors perform a gripping tale of loss, blame and forgiveness, inspired by real events.
'an extremely powerful play about justice, revenge and forgiveness...what matters is less its documentary veracity than Wilkinson's uncanny ability to get inside the skin of a man tormented by grief.' Michael Billington, The Guardian
'Wilkinson tells this story with great pace and fascinating detail. Although based on a true case, My Eyes Went Dark has the feel of an ancient Greek tragedy. In its exploration of the feeling of rage as a form of loyalty to the dead, it shows both the agony of loss and raises a number of issues about grief, mourning and forgiveness.' Aleks Sierz, The Stage
'Matthew Wilkinson's thrilling new play is about a grieving man, suffering a deep, awful trauma. As a visceral, realistic exploration of whether a victim can and should forgive, it's practically Greek on the tragedy scale.' TimeOut
'A thought-provoking and accomplished new play' Everything Theatre
'My Eyes Went Dark is a complex, multi-layered narrative with an awful lot bubbling under the surface' London City Nights
'Played on a bare, black stage, Matthew Wilkinson's stark two-hander stares into the deep void of grief and despair.' What's On Stage ★★★★

(The first book in the Mainline series)
A novel by Deborah Christian
Before birth Reva was exposed to a bizarre alien force that changed her genetic makeup and gave her the unique ability to see different lines of causality spread out before her. When she chooses any one of them, the other possibilities fade into nothingness and the new reality becomes her "Mainline." She uses this special talent as an assassin for hire - slipping in and out of realities, she strikes and then disappears. She is unstoppable and uncatchable. But don't tell that to bodyguard Yavobo, an eight-foot-tall member of a warlike alien species whose hormone-induced rages make them walking machines of destruction. When Reva takes out his boss, he swears a blood oath to track down and kill the assassin. Yavobo has set himself no easy task. Danger is Reva's game, and no one had beaten her at it yet. But when she meets a young smuggler who reminds her too much of herself, a little helpful advice soon turns into much more than that. Suddenly she is faced with the powerful urge to give up her life roaming the lines and stay forever in one "Mainline." But while friendship may dispel the demons that have haunted her since childhood, it may also prove her undoing - she may no longer be able to escape the deadly hunter on her trail.

Gender Mainstreaming in the Health Sector
Improvement in health remains a challenge for all. However, the problem is more acute for women. There is a disparity between women and men in their ability to gain access to health care appropriate to them. Furthermore, the low status of women in less developed countries has been identified as a major obstacle to development. If women are to gain better access to health services they must be given the opportunity to work in partnership with men at all levels of the health sector, including the highest levels of policy-making. Together they must ensure that women's specific needs are identified and addressed appropriately. This book is the result of consensus built up in a series of workshops in different regions of the Commonwealth on what is the most effective way of applying Gender Management System principles and methodology to the health sector. The differing contexts of financial, human and other resources explored in Gender Mainstreaming in the Health Sector will assist other countries in adapting mainstreaming to their own particular circumstances.This manual has been written to provide support and guidance to policy-makers, planners, non-governmental organisations, institutions and staff working in the health sector.

John And Yoko On The Dick Cavett Show, Sept. 1971
In another remembrance of John Lennon 30 years after his death, here's a clip from an interview of John and Yoko on the Dick Cavett Show, September 24, 1971. An audience member asked John how he wrote his songs. John recounted the evolution of his methods and sources of inspiration, providing insight into his musical genius.

Benitez made headlines last week with a series of outspoken remarks about his Old Trafford counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson and he has followed that up with further comments about Gill, who also holds a senior position at the Football Association.
Benitez said: "They were saying we are a threat. Now they know we are. They are playing mind games. But I don't think it's a mind game when you have control over everything and your chief executive is powerful in the FA and things like this. Is there a conflict of interest with David Gill at the FA?"
He added: "That is another fact. It is a fact that one person has a lot of power and control, and is on a lot of committees in the FA. To me that is very strange."
Neither the Football Association nor United have commented.

Pet Sitter in Hackensack
Hi there! My name is Theresa King and I am a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ. I have previously pet sat for my neighbor for about 4-5 years. Checking whenever needed, I provided food, took the dog for walks, watered his many plants, and fed the cats as well. Any pet care needs I am more than capable of handling. I currently work as a barista in a coffee shop, therefore I knew how to handle responsibilities at a young age. I have my own car, love animals, volunteer at animal shelters, and can provide overnight care. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me!

The overall burden of severe asthma on individuals and society is substantial because patients with severe asthma often experience disabling symptoms and account for a disproportionately high amount of asthma-care expenditures.1 Asthma is associated with persistent and progressive decline in lung function2 that is not modified by currently available therapeutic approaches, including inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroids.3 The majority of patients with severe asthma require three to four medications and take long-term oral corticosteroids or frequent bursts.4 Despite these expensive therapies, patients with severe asthma are responsible for a disproportionately high share of asthma-associated morbidity and mortality5 and continue to experience repeated symptoms, including exacerbations that are potentially life threatening. In the Severe Asthma Research Program, we have demonstrated that almost one-half of these patients have sought emergency care in the past 12 months.6 Therefore, a substantial proportion of patients with severe asthma lack effective therapy to control their symptoms and to minimize impairment.

This is a good time to review your company's holiday pay practices. This article answers common questions regarding holiday pay-related issues in the United States.

Must an employer provide employees time off on holidays?

No. There is no Federal law that requires an employer to provide time off, paid or otherwise, to employees on nationally recognized holidays.

Must an employer accommodate an employee's observance of a religious holiday?

An employer is obligated to provide reasonable accommodation for the religious practices of its employees unless it can show that the accommodation would result in undue hardship for its business.

Many employers offer a floating holiday in addition to the regularly scheduled holidays. This allows an employee to take time off for religious observances that are not covered by the employer's established holiday schedule.

Courts addressing the issue of religious accommodation generally agree that unpaid time off can be a reasonable accommodation, as can allowing an employee to use a vacation day to observe a religious holiday.

Generally, employers require that floating holidays be taken in the same year they are granted and do not allow these days to be carried over into the next year. Employees usually are required to give adequate advance notice of their intention to take a floating holiday.

Must holiday time off be paid?

For non-exempt (hourly) employees, no. An employer does not have to pay hourly employees for time off on a holiday. An employer is only required to pay hourly employees for time actually worked.

On the other hand, exempt employees (salaried employees who do not receive overtime), who are given the day off, must be paid their full weekly salary if they work any hours during the week in which the holiday falls. This requirement for exempt employees did not change under the new federal overtime regulations.

Must the paid time off be counted as hours worked in determining whether an employee is entitled to overtime?

No. If an employer provides paid holidays, it does not have to count the paid hours as hours worked for purposes of determining whether an employee is entitled to overtime compensation. An employee must actually work 40 hours in a week before he/she is eligible for overtime.

Paid time off (holidays, vacation, sick leave, etc.) is not considered time worked. Note, however, that many collective bargaining agreements include additional provisions for determining overtime.

More Answers to Common Questions Regarding Holiday Pay Practices.

May an employer attach conditions to the receipt of holiday pay?

Yes. For example, an employer may require that employees work or be on an approved leave status the day before and after a holiday in order to receive holiday pay. An employer may also require an employee to have worked for the company for a specified period of time before being eligible for holiday pay.

In addition, an employer may prorate the amount of holiday pay due to a part-time employee. Whatever conditions apply to the receipt of holiday pay should be in writing.

Are employees who work a holiday entitled to premium pay?

No. While it is common to pay a premium to an employee who works on a holiday, there is no legal requirement to do so.

Must an employer provide the same holiday benefits to all employees?

No, as long as the basis for the different treatment is not discriminatory, i.e., based on a protected classification, such as age, race, etc. For instance, an employer can provide holiday pay only to full time and not part time employees, or to the office employees and not in-the-field employees.

What if a holiday falls on an employee's day off or when the business is closed?

While not required by law, many employers give an employee the option of taking off another day if a holiday falls on the employee's day off. Similarly, many employers observe a holiday on the preceding Friday or the following Monday if a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday and the employer is not open for business on the weekend.

What if an employee works a compressed work week (i.e. four 10-hour days per week)?

As with employees who work a standard work week, there is no requirement that an employer provides an employee on a compressed work week schedule with paid or unpaid time off on a holiday. Employers who utilize a compressed work week have generally taken one of three approaches to eligibility for holiday pay.

Some employers pay only for holidays occurring on the employee's regularly scheduled workday.

On the other hand, some employers allow the employee to take a substitute holiday on a day when he or she would otherwise have been required to work if the holiday falls on a day the employee is not scheduled to work.

Finally, other employers prefer to have employees who work a compressed work week on the job at least four days a week and pay for the holiday even if the employee is not scheduled to work that day, thus giving the employees an extra day of pay.

As long as the employer follows its policy consistently, any approach selected by an employer is acceptable.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake on the top shelf for 15 minutes, until the top is golden. Slide the pizza onto a platter; top with the bonito, shiso and cilantro and serve.

Power Rangers and Masked Rider belong to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots.
The Green Ranger raised his dagger to his lips as the Red, Pink, Blue, and Yellow Rangers called for their Thunderzords. Each zord attacked Repellentor who retaliated with his own assault. From the Command Center, Angela and Richie watched anxiously.
"Be careful you guys," Angela murmured. They winced as the monster fired a blast at the Rangers. Oh, I really hope they can do this, the girl thought to herself. They weren't all together, and two of them were sick. As if sensing her worry, Richie and Alpha both reached over and patted her on the arm reassuringly.
"They can do this. They never lose," Richie confidently reminded her. Then the Griffin Thunderzord took a hard hit and they all winced.
"Zordon, we need a little help over here!" the Green Ranger called into his communicator and Alpha immediately sent in the other zords. The zords were brought together to create the Thundermegazord and the two zords double-teamed Repellentor. He roared and shot them both with waves of energy/
"Alpha, keep trying to reach the other Rangers, using alternate frequencies. The Rangers must be all together if they are to vanquish Rita and Zedd's latest creation," Zordon said and Alpha did as he was told. However, there was still nothing but static and dead air. Despite this, Alpha kept searching.
"Man, I hate just standing here!" Richie stated with a sigh.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Angela wondered.
"Yes. If you could slow tune your communicators to each of the frequencies I try, maybe we can get something," Alpha replied. Richie and Angela looked at each other.
"It's worth a shot," Richie stated.
"Let's do it," Angela agreed and they both started fiddling with the 'talk' button on their communicators. While this was going on, Repellentor continued to fight against the Dragonzord and the Thundermegazord. Inside their zords, the Red and Pink Rangers attempted to focus.
"You guys all right? You sure you can do this?" the Blue Ranger checked.
"I'm fine," the Red and Pink Rangers chorused. They all groaned as the zord was hit again. On the moon, Zedd and Rita watched in delight.
"Oh, what a fight!" Rita raved. "And for once, we're winning!" she continued.
"Yes, and even though they're fighting along with the other Rangers for the time being, I'm sure it'll be just a matter of time before Zordon insists that the Red and Pink Rangers sit the battle out because of their ailments," Zedd responded.
"And then-" Goldar threw his head back and laughed. "And then-" He laughed again. "We'll crush them!" He laughed a third time, Scorpina joining him.

Life is sometimes running smooth for most of us. At least we can't complain. Other times, problems come in like they had a plan to invade you. It is during the tough times that we have to make the tough choices to bring back peace. That's the time you play the victim role. If it happens that your suffering isn't a result of your actions, and someone out there did it intentionally, you will have to approach the situation according to what the law says. Many people suffer out of other people's negligent actions. Even if many come out to report personal injuries, a significant population never bothers. The main reason being fear of the unknown. They think courts and lawyers are expensive. However, everybody wants to get justice. So, taking the following steps will do no harm.
The government always has the upper hand when it comes to legal matters. The police being part of the government are there to help you get compensation for any wrongs done to you. How they do, that is simple. Personal injury rules are there in the constitution. There are qualifying factors as well as clearly outlined consequences for the at-fault parties. To win the case, the evidence must be strong enough to convince the judges that indeed, you did suffer. The police can do the evidence bit, but if only you let them know ASAP. For every accident, a report is written for record purposes. That report and the police citation might be everything you need.
There are both sides of the coin here. You can be the victim or the at-fault party in a personal injury case. In both cases, working with a Moncton legal firm pricing does make sense. To get enough compensation, you will have to put in an undeniable claim. You will need to inform the insurer, especially for the auto accidents. They too will do their investigations, and if found innocent, they will have to compensate. By that, I mean compensation to the last deserved penny.
An injury means a treatment automatically. It is advisable that you go for treatment at a reputable hospital for record purposes. You will be needed to prove that you got injured and paid some hospital bills or such are pending. Your case may be handled after you get healed, and you will not have anything physical to prove then. Just do it right from the start.
If you decide to work it out on your own, you may never get compensation. With that said, having an assurance that you will get something out of your misery works right. And that's a personal injury lawyer Don't panic that the price may be high. One thing to note is that you only pay them after a win. Be sure they will walk away if you lose. The latter being not likely to happen.

This is sackcloth and ashes for the 21st century. Legs covered up, no high heels, no lipstick: surely the ultimate in ascetic self-flagellation? She looks like she is channelling a Benedictine monk. As they say in LA — what the fug?
This is a fashion 0icon's response to the new mood of austerity: puritan chic. Chanel showed chin-to-toe black tweed evening shrouds in this week's autumn/winter collection: Kate has just tweaked the look for day.
In the meantime, she illustrates beautifully that old maxim people love to trot out whenever the economy goes a bit wobbly: that skirt lengths reflect share prices. Perhaps it really is true. Kate's hem is virtually dragging along in the dirt here.
Image-wise, this is a sensible "down with the kids" move. Kate is showing her solidarity with the world's misery. It seems unlikely that she or anyone around her is directly affected by the recession. But no matter. It's good to know she feels our pain. After all, who wants to see gold sequins, bouncing curls and mountains of bling right now? (Actually I do. But that is exactly why Kate Moss is a great style visionary and I am not.)
What this is really about is taste. At the moment it is vulgar to be anything but monastic. Don't be fooled by the veneer of simplicity, however. Up close there is detailing to be noticed. The buttons at the shoulder, the discreet silver cuff at the wrist, the cocktail ring on her right hand, the Victorian workhouse boots. The hair looks nonchalant but in fact it's recently highlighted and expertly glossed.
Kate Moss goes Crucible (just add bonnet!) is not her most inspiring look but it reflects Planet Fashion's recessional conundrum: "How can you be stylish AND tasteful?"
A full-length cover-up with discreet accessories is one answer but Kate will no doubt have other tricks up her long sleeve.
I have obtained intelligence about her imminent spring/summer collection for Topshop and I have a feeling this nun thing may be temporary. The collection features a strapless hotpant playsuit and two pairs of batty-riders which would make J-Lo blush. So don't invest too heavily in habits.

It overall looks like it does here. Warning all of what looks white is actually a very light gray which I was a bit disappointed. Also the black parts on torso area are almost see thru. The fit is true to size. I ordered Lrg.(12-14) and I'm a sz.12 and it fits loosely which worked out because I'll have biking clothes underneath. The hat is shipped flat and you'll need to reshape.

You can use this page to email Viktor Farcic about The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm.
About the Book
The book envelops all aspects of building, testing, deploying, and monitoring services inside Docker Swarm clusters. We'll go through all the tools required for running a cluster. We'll go through the whole process with clusters running locally on a laptop. Once we are confident with the outcome, we'll translate the experience to different hosting providers like AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, and so on.
The book goes deeper into one of the subjects explored in The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit. It is updated to use the latest and greatest features and techniques introduced in Docker 1.12.
We'll go through many practices and even more tools. While there will be a lot of theory, this is a hands-on book. You won't be able to complete it by reading it in a metro on a way to work. You'll have to read this book while in front of the computer and get your hands dirty.

CA tackles compliance, automation and security with new product launches
CA has rounded out its business service management portfolio with tools for software compliance, IT security compliance and IT process automation.
This Article Covers
IT Orchestration
This week, enterprise software company CA of Islandia, N.Y., introduced three new management tools to improve business service management efforts: CA Software Compliance Manager, CA IT Process Manager and CA Security Compliance Manager.
Download: Are you migrating to DevOps?
As DevOps is slowly taking over the IT landscape, its vital that IT pros understand it before jumping right into the movement. In this complimentary guide, discover an expert breakdown of how DevOps impacts day-to-day operations management in modern IT environments.

CA Software Compliance Manager continually monitors software license compliance using a compliance engine that matches discovered instances of software licenses. The tool can also detect the number of unlicensed versions of software automatically and whether organizations pay for software that's not in use. "Most compliance processes are manual, triggered by a person or an event that may occur," said Al Nugent, CA's chief technology officer. "This software follows drift."
By offering a deeper view of idle software, CA Software Compliance Manager may also help companies save on licensing costs. "Many organizations have software that's dormant until they need to use it," Nugent said, and they pay for the privilege. A company, for example, may maintain images of a Web server farm; those images are turned on to alleviate capacity whenever there's a spike. By continually monitoring license compliance, CA Software Compliance Manager, said Nugent "provides a lot more granularity into software licenses." In addition, CA Software Compliance Manager enables IT to maintain and track software license information in a single system that is continuously updated.
Upping the ante in the IT process automation (ITPA) market
The CA IT Process Manager enables customers to build, orchestrate and manage automated workflows.
"This is part of the data center automation family of products that aim to drive costs down for overarching IT processes," Nugent said. CA IT Process Manager integrates with CA and third-party systems management tools, including those from rivals BMC Software Inc.,, Hewlett-Packard Co. and Microsoft.. CA IT Process Manager, for example, could coordinate an IT process as it moves from CA's Spectrum network fault management tool to BMC's Remedy help desk software to VMware Inc.'s VirtualCenter. "The tool can orchestrate processes across whatever platforms an IT shop has in place," Nugent added.
According to Andi Mann, the research director at Boulder, Colo.-based IT advisory firm Enterprise Management Associates, the product is an important addition to CA's data center automation lineup. "With this release -- which leverages CA's OEM relationship with leading ITPA provider, Opalis -- the company brings to market an ITPA solution with extensive out-of-the-box integration, great ease of use and long-term maturity," he said. Both BMC and HP offer ITPA products, Mann added, making this product introduction important for CA. For IT shops, the addition of ITPA has significant ROI. According to EMA, IT shops with ITPA save $500,000 just in labor costs.
CA's third product is the CA Security Compliance Manager, software that integrates with several other tools, including CA Identity Manager, CA GRC Manager and CA Service Desk. The software is designed to automatically enforce IT security controls by automating compliance processes. "If the software detects a violation in regard to legal or compliance policies, it can automatically initiate remediation procedures through a help desk," Nugent said.
In addition to these new products, CA also enhanced existing security, compliance and systems management products. The strategy behind all the activity is the pursuit of what CA calls enterprise IT management or EITM. "EITM is a vision we put in place around three years ago," Nugent said. "It's an integrated way for IT to govern, manage and secure technology assets and relating IT infrastructure to a business process and tie it back to a governance framework."

A grungy horror remake is not an automatic guarantee of technical virtuosity. But husband-and-wife filmmakers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau's Silent House is like no other scary movie you'll see all year. Based on the 2010 Uruguayan film La Casa Muda by Gustavo Hernández, it's part of a small cluster of films that purport to be "single-take" movies.
Begun by Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 film Rope, it's the ultimate challenge for a filmmaker: shoot an entire movie using just one take. No cuts, no edits, just one seamless travelling shot that goes from titles to credits. An entire film perfectly executed and captured in real-time, while it might be a "stunt" as Hitch famously called it, it's also the chance to deliver a bravura piece of filmmaking.
Think of some of the most electric tracking shots ever committed to film – the opening sequence to Orson Welles' Touch of Evil, the trawl through the kitchen of the Copacabana nightclub in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas – and then imagine trying to replicate that over a 90-minute movie. One lighting gaff, one fluffed line, and it all has to be reset.
Changing a few details from the original, Silent House follows a young girl, Sarah (Martha Marcy May Marlene star Elizabeth Olsen) and her father John (Adam Trese), as they enter their boarded-up summer house. Seen entirely from the daughter's point-of-view, it attempts to produce the film with one shot. "In many ways we saw it as an experiment," says Kentis. "We had the benefit of the original film, but we knew we were obligated to take it even further. They set a bar and we had to do that."
Truth be told, the one-take is an illusion, with the film broken down into a series of bite-sized shots, each lasting between 10 and 15 minutes, which are then woven together to look like a single epic take.
Kentis and Lau are merely taking their leave from Rope's sleight-of-hand. Back in 1948, Hitchcock's film – with its murder story set in one apartment – was shot in several 10-minute segments. There was little choice given this was the standard length of a film camera magazine. And the cuts were concealed with cunning pans towards darkness (a character's back, the lid of a chest) before re-emerging from the gloom with the camera freshly loaded.
Of course, this was before the advent of lightweight HD digital cameras – highly portable devices that are able to shoot for hours at a time, even in low light. "It's much easier to pull these kinds of things off today," says Kentis. So why didn't they? "It wasn't the point of the experiment," he replies. "What it was about was not breaking the Guinness record for the longest shot, but making the most effective experience. Certainly, if we'd wanted to, we could've pulled the whole thing off truly in one single shot."
During the US release, however, Silent House has been marketed as a single-take film. Is it being dishonest? Kentis thinks not. "Gollum isn't real in Lord of the Rings," he says, "but he works great. It isn't a matter of how we achieved it."
Indeed, the end result is impressive. Impossible to see where the dots have been joined, the film's intense, claustrophobic atmosphere benefits from its long, uninterrupted takes, sewn together as one.
Admittedly, Silent House and its Uruguayan predecessor have already been beaten to it by some genuine one-take movies. Aleksandr Sokurov's 2002 film Russian Ark is a deft waltz around the corridors of the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg in an attempt to bring to life Russian history. Yet even that cheated – the sound was added later.
Mike Figgis' experimental Timecode (2000), set around a film production office, used the split-screen technique to simultaneously show four continuous 90-minute takes. With a quartet of narratives unfolding in real-time, Figgis shot the film over 15 days, with the actors told never to wear the same outfit on each day they were filming. "This way there could never ever be the possibility of stealing a scene from another day's shoot and cheating it in the edit," says Figgis.
Another real-time effort came a few years later – Spiros Stathoulopoulos' terrorism thriller PVC-1 (2007). Set in rural Colombia, it follows what happens when a gang of thugs invade a home, clamping a pipe bomb around a woman's neck in an effort to extort money from her husband. Shot in one unbroken 81-minute take, as the family head into the jungle to look for help, it's certainly a remarkable technical achievement. Yet, given the life-or-death scenario, the film lacks tension – not least due to long scenes of watching the characters traipse through the jungle.
Perhaps this is why Silent House, even with its sleight-of-hand, is still a remarkable achievement. With Sarah left stranded and terrified after her father suddenly disappears and blood-curdling noises begin to float through the walls, the one-take effect is chilling. That we never cut away only increases the inescapable nature of the horrors around her.
Look at films like Russian Ark, Timecode and PVC-1 and for all their dazzling technical virtuosity, they can feel dramatically inert at times. Not so here, largely thanks to the staying power of Olsen. "We would get through an 11 or 12-minute take and something would go wrong 10 minutes in," admits Olsen, "which would make every single thing you did completely unusable."
'Silent House' opens on 4 May
Movie magic - five classic one-shot sequences
Atonement (2007)
"I do get a kick out of those shots," noted Joe Wright. No wonder: his five-and-a-half minute glide across the Normandy beach among dozens of Allied soldiers awaiting the evacuation of Dunkirk is a tour-de-force.
Touch of Evil (1958)
Orson Welles' film noir opens with this shot (later aped in the intro to Robert Altman's 'The Player') that sees a bomb planted in a car. In a perfect mini-arc, the camera follows the vehicle through town until it blows up.
Goodfellas (1990)
Seminal tracking shot that sees Ray Liotta's mobster Henry Hill guide his future wife through the corridors, kitchen and finally into the belly of the Copacabana nightclub. Power, money and machismo all summed up in one elegant, fluid movement.
Boogie Nights (1997)
Beginning with the title in tacky neon lights, the camera swoops down and into the Hot Traxx nightclub over the road, offering up a dazzling introduction to all the main players in P.T. Anderson's San Fernando Valley porn epic.
Oldboy (2003)
Orchestrating a mass brawl in one take is no mean feat, but Park Chan-wook makes it look easy in his revenge drama, as the camera slides right to left, observing its antihero take on a flurry of fists and weapons.Reuse content

Velvet: Who Would Have Thought?
Velvet is making a comeback. It has always been luxurious, but in recent decades, it has been seen as pretty dated. But, fashion does work in cycles, right? It is also expensive. Pure silk velvet is hundreds of dollars a yard. Things labeled as "Silk Velvet," these days, is usually silk and rayon, which is less expensive. There are many different blends, finally ending with cotton silk at the bottom of the heap. I kind of like it, but we have three cats. I somehow doubt that would work out.

To be honest though, Taj Griffin and his teammates aren't really going to be in for much of a contest.
Cal-Davis is a FCS team from the Big Sky Conference and it should be a cake-walk for Griffin and the Oregon Ducks.
How much Griffin plays on Saturday remains to be seen but likely he'll get at least one quarter of work in and maybe more. One of the problems of having such riches in depth at the running back position, is there are four backs, all capable of scoring everytime they touch the ball, and there is only four quarters to play -- and this is against a very week opponent.
In the interview, eDuck asked Griffin of what he thought of the young offensive line, particularly of the redshirt freshman who have impressed him Without hesitation he said "Jake Hanson."
What will be interesting to see, if Griffin can score on a long run in this game.

I was at the bar with my buddy over the weekend and he started doing shots with three girls and a gay guy. He said he figured he had a 100% chance of getting laid and a 75% chance he'd enjoy it.

Little Johnny's mom decided to give him a lesson about the human anatomy. She took all her clothes off, pointed to her vagina and said "This is where you came from."
At school the next day, Johnny kept smiling and insisted that everyone call him "Lucky Johnny."
"Why?" one of his little buddies asked.
Johnny held his fingers about an inch apart and said "Because I came this close to being a turd!"

A hooded armed robber bursts into the Bank of Italy and forces the
tellers to load a sack full of cash.
On his way out the door with the loot, one brave customer,
grabs the hood and pulls it off revealing the robbers face.
The robber shoots the guy in the head without hesitation!
He then looks around the bank to see if anyone else has seen him.
One of the tellers is looking straight at him. The robber walks over to him
and calmly shoots him in the head.
By now, everyone is very scared and looking down at the floor.
"Dida anyone elsa see a my face?" calls the robber.
There follows a tense silence.
Then an elderly Italian gent, looking down, tentatively raises his hand and says, "I thinka maybe my wifa caughta glimpse."

Goose huntin' in Minnysota
Goose Hunting...Ole, Sven & Lena; gotta love Minnesota humour.
Ole was hunting geese up in the Minnesota woods. He leaned the old 16 gauge against the corner of the blind to take a leak. As luck would have it, his foolish dog knocked the gun over, it went off and Ole took most of an ounce of #4 in the groin.
Several hours later, lying in a Duluth hospital bed, he came to...and there was his doctor, Sven.
"Vell Ole, I got some good news and some bad news. Da good news is dat you are going to be OK. Da damage vas local to your groin, dere was very little internal damage, and I vas able to remove all of da buckshot."
"What's the bad news?", asks Ole
"The bad news is dat dere vas some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your pecker. I'm going to have to refer you to my sister, Lena ."
"Well, I guess that isn't too bad," says Ole. "Is your sister a plastic surgeon?"
"Not exactly," Sven says. "She's a flute player in da Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. She's going to teach you vhere to put your fingers, so you don't pee in your eye."
"Seriously guys..."

True story: Years ago when I was in grade 7, our science teacher was explaining the difference between flourescent and incandescent lights.
At the end of his lesson he pointed to the ceiling and asked, "Now, what are those?"
My buddy and I glanced at each other quickly and answered in unison, "FINGERS!"
At which point the teacher turned around and starting banging his head on the chalkboard.

A Frenchman and an Italian were seated next to an American on an overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing their home lives.
"Last night I made love to my wife four times," the Frenchman bragged, "and this morning she made me delicious crepes and she told me how much she adored me."
"Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the Italian responded, "and this morning she made me a wonderful omelet and told me she could never love another man."
When the American remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked, "And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?"
"Once," he replied.
"Only once?" the Italian arrogantly snorted. "And what did she say to you this morning?"
"Don't stop."

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve.
As the wife walked through the mall she was surprised to look up and see her husband was nowhere around.
She was quite upset because they had a lot to do.So she called him on his mobile phone to ask him where he was.
In a calm voice, the husband said, "Honey, you remember the jewelry store we went into about 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford ----and I told you that I would get it for you one day?"
The wife choked up and started to cry and said, "Yes, I remember that jewelry store."
He said, "Well, I'm in the bar right next to it."

A guy walks in for his interview.
The interviewer asks, "Whats the first thing you notice about me?"
The guy responds, "Why, You don't have any ears."
Interviewer: "Get out! Send in the next guy."
2nd guy walks in for his interview.
The interviewer asks, "Whats the first thing you notice about me?"
The guy responds, "Why, You don't have any ears."
Interviewer: "Get out! Send in the next guy."
This guy on the way out says to to me "What ever you do, don't say anything about his not having any ears - He'll kick you right out."
So I walk in for his interview.
The interviewer asks, "Whats the first thing you notice about me?"
I take a good long starring look at the interviewer intently for a few seconds and respond, "Why, you wear contact lenses don't you."
The interviewer says, "That's impressive that you're so observant. How could you tell I wear contact lenses?"
"Because you don't have any damn ears to hang glasses on."
Moral of the story: Don't do that, I didn't get the job either.

Retiring in Alaska
Bill had been in business for 25 years. Finally sick of the stress,
he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from
humanity as possible. He sees the postman once a week and
gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocks
on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing
"Name's Stan, your neighbor from forty miles up the road. Having
a Christmas party Friday night. Thought you might like to come at
about 5:00.
"Great", says Bill, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some
local folks. Thank you."
As Stan is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you. Be some drinkin!"
"Not a problem" says Bill. "After 25 years in the business,
I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely
gonna be some fighting' too."
"Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right and, if not, I can
handle myself pretty well .....I'll be there. Thanks again."
"More'n likely be some wild sex, too,"
"Now that's really not a problem" says Bill, warming to the idea.
"I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the
way, what should I wear?"
"Don't much matter. Just gonna be the two of us."

His wife was standing there at the bench watching him. After along period of silence she finally speaks.
Honey, I've been thinking, now that we are married I think it's time you quit hunting, shooting, handloading, and fishing. Maybe you should sell your guns and boat.
Tim gets this horrified look on his face.
She says, "Darling, what's wrong?"

Exactly what I was expecting
Sail Date: October 03, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Balcony
I've cruised before. I've been on Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas. That ship is basically the same as Adventure of the Seas.
I always get a balcony stateroom. The room was as expected and I love and highly recommend getting a balcony.
Everything was nice and clean inside and outside of the stateroom. The pools are saltwater and could have used a bit more filtering in my opinion.
You can stay busy on the ship and you can eat all day long. The best food is the dinner food; including the dining room and the specialty restaurant. I would say do at least 1 night in the specialty restaurant.
This itinerary was amazing and there are things to do even if you don't book an excursion.

Question: Our neighbours keep dumping unwanted items in their front garden, including mattresses, televisions, baths and even food.
© Malcolm Willett (www.willett-ink.co.uk)
I asked the council and they said that, as it is private land, they cannot do anything. They suggest that I approach the neighbours directly but I prefer not to (they look scary). Shouldn't the council do something?
Answer: The council cannot take action against home-owners who leave rubbish on their own land unless they are breaching particular legislation that specifies that the local authority is the enforcing body.
You mention that food is dumped and, if the rubbish constitutes a health hazard, the council would be able to take action under the public health regulations. You may be able to take action yourself, alleging that the neighbours' actions constitute a nuisance that reduces your enjoyment of your own land. You would have to show that their actions were either excessive or malicious.
Additionally, in many areas - particularly on modern housing estates - the developers impose obligations on all the properties, by way of covenants (legal promises), which ensure a minimum standard of amenity for all home-owners.
A common covenant that often occurs is "not to cause any nuisance or annoyance to the developer or any of the neighbours". You should contact your solicitor and check whether there are any such provisions in your deeds and, if so, how you could enforce them.
You must always remember that taking legal action can be expensive and coming to an agreement after discussion will always be preferable.

Hi,How about flickering? Is there any? A while ago i wanted to build a pwm dimmer, but there was a "zero crossing detector" needed to synchronize pwm with sin wave to eliminate flickering.How come your design doesnt heve/need one?¨Thanks for answer in advance.View Instructable »
Exactly two day ago i was trying to get it work. Sourceforge was offline. But yesterday i got lucky and it works.I did not use HyperCon for installation. Inserted this into terminal:cd /tmp && wget -nv -N https://raw.github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion/... && chmod +x install_hyperion.sh && sudo sh ./install_hyperion.sh HyperConInstall ; rm install_hyperion.shThen created and uploaded config, now with HyperCon.Reboot, done. Found out that one of my RPi2 has PWM busted...
A little hint. PWM does not work, if HDMI is not pluged in on startup.View Instructable »
Hi, i was bussy, now i'm back on it. I cant get it working since the 10-2015 update. after i upload the config Rpi freezes and i have to reinstal OSMC.Anyway. The voltage seems not right, post a photo of wiring (it helps a lot), posibly with wiring diagram, so we can check it.
I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, i was kinda bussy moving to new home. Since 10-2015 update Hyperion does not work. Don't know why. They changed their wiki and now i'm lost. I try to get this pice of poop to work, with no succes... If you find out how to light this up, let me know.Have a nice day and good luck with this.View Instructable »

I do not Own Harry Potter or any of the words used in J.K. Rowling's work.
IN Little Red Secret:
Oliver Wood: age 20
Ginny Weasley: 5th year. age 15
Harry, Hermione, Ron: 6th year. age 16
Miranda Roy : 6th year. age 16
Jamari, George and Fred Weasley: 7th year. age 17
Harry looked around; there was Ginny running toward him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her. (Rowling 533) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It had been a year since Harry and Ginny had become the talk of the school. Although it was a castle, the word went around quick, even the ghosts and portraits knew.
Each time Ginny thought of the night after the game, when they first shared their first kiss in the Gryffindor common room, Ginny could not help but smile.
They both were oblivious of the people around them, they knew some would disapprove of their relationship, but they didn't care. Only they alone mattered to one another.
"Harry.. Haaaarry.. HARRY!" screamed Miranda to the teams seeker.
"What?" asked Harry in a dazed state.
"Will you two please pay attention!? Now if you could please tune in with the team, I was just about to announce... I have some... big news for you all." Grabbing her stomach Miranda smiled at them. Miranda had been the Gryffindor quidditch team captain, ever since Oliver Wood had left. Becoming the youngest captain in Hogwarts history.
"Oi Miranda, get on with it woman!" Fred Weasley chuckled, when Miranda responded with an obscene hand gesture
Fred blew a kiss at Miranda "I love you too, bloody gorgeous witch! now get on with it!"
Miranda could only smile at them all. "Okay, well you all know how I have sat out in the past two games?" everyone nodded.
"Well, guy's - George please come up here- George and I... are expecting a little one" she finished, as George grabbed Miranda's hand.
If it were not for Fred, choking on his drink. There would have been total silence.
"WHAT? George! why didn't you tell me, I am your brother... your TWIN! git!"
"AND I YOUR SISTER!" said Ginny getting up on her feet.
Standing up together Fred and Ginny both questioned the couple. "Since when have you two been SHAGGING!?" they said in a duet.
The quidditch team burst into laughter.
Miranda and George looked at them questionably.
Harry walked towards the hand holding couple, grabbed Miranda's free hand and kissed it. "We all knew already mate, it was obvious"
"How?" asked Miranda astonished. She had been sure she was hiding it the best she could. And if they knew, then who else knew too?
"Well-" began Fred "-for one, you have been having horrid mood swings, and I mean far worse then usual. The oddest cravings, and George has had little sleep and-" Fred tried to continue, but his twin cut in.
Covering his mouth with his hand George coughed out "Don't forget the heavy gas." Miranda looked at him before punching him playfully.
The team stood up and hugged her before settling back down.
Grabbing Ginny's hand, Harry smiled at Miranda. "Mate, I have a feeling that's not the all you have to tell us".
"Well, actually no, it isn't. I uh.. well actually George, maybe you should sit down for this too, because I have not told you this." Miranda said sadly.
"What is it?" asked George.
"Well my mum and da-" Miranda began in her heavy Scottish accent, looking down she played with her hands "-when I told them I was expecting this little one, they made me choose, to stay at Hogwarts and abort... or have the baby, and kick me out of their home.."
George immediately stood up. "What?, darling why didn't you tell me?" He asked, bringing her into a hug.
Ginny brought her hand to her mouth, and got up to hug Miranda. "Miranda, for Merlin's sake, how could they do that?... OF COURSE YOU CHOOSE to keep the baby right?" Ginny asked Miranda.
George stepped away from his sister and girlfriend. Waiting for the answer. He honestly feared to hear anything negative.
Miranda looked at George, grabbing his face she pulled him to a kiss before turning back to Ginny and the rest of her team mates... her friends, but mostly, her family.
"Of course I am. But one way or the other, I cannot stay at Hogwarts any longer... I have nowhere to go, and a child raise, George has been wonderful, and said he will help raise our baby." Miranda explained.
George pulled away from her, "I will be right back." He said.
Miranda looked at everyone, who in return all shrugged. They knew as much as she did right now.
A few minutes later George came back.
"Miranda.. look you know I love you, and I really wish your mum and dad could have reacted different, but I wish I could have made this more special" Getting on his knee he pulled out a small box, making the whole team gasp, and Miranda to begin and tear up.
Opening the box, it contained a ring, with a very small diamond. "Miranda, I know I am not the most mature wizard there is, and I know you could have picked so many other guys who have money and looks, and I still do not know what the hell brought you to even accept me as your boyfriend, but it would be the greatest honor any woman could ever give me, if you became my other half... er-" George said looking at Fred. Maybe he should have reworded that differently.
Looking back at Miranda, he continued. "- well you know, what I mean. Look Miranda, I promise I will take care of you and our baby. And I know this is our last year here, but I much rather spend it with you and our baby, anywhere else. I will gather the money I have saved and build us a-" he rambled on.
Miranda, still crying covered George's mouth. "George, I do."
Two weeks later
Ginny sat in the Gryffindor common room. Reading a book, she sat on the warm comfy sofa next to the fire place.
"Gin, you never told me how your mum took the news." Putting her book down, Ginny looked at her brother Ron's girlfriend.
"Oh, I'm sorry Hermione, I completely forgot. Well She was not aware that George even had a girlfriend. So she had a big shock when we told her he had left Hogwarts, with his pregnant fiancée. She was really mad at the fact that he did not bother telling her, he was going to leave Hogwarts, but really proud of him for being very mature, and taking on the responsibilities." Ginny said.
"How are George and Miranda anyways?" Hermione asked.
"Actually Harry just went to send a letter for me, that I wrote them." Ginny said.
"Oh, that's good. Well I am going to the library, could you please tell Ron when he wakes up, to meet me at the Great Hall." Hermione asked.
Ginny nodded as she watched Hermione step out the portrait door. And watched an out of breath Harry walk in.
"Gin, you better be happy I love you this much to have walked all that in the snow, to send a letter I was not allowed to even read!" Harry said, still breathing heavily. Harry wasn't sure if it had been the walk to the owl shed. Or walking up all those flight of stairs, that wore him out.
Ginny patted the spot next to her.
"Well when I become Mrs. Ginny Potter, you will be doing more bidding for me." She said smiling.
Harry pretended to play dead as Ginny began laughing. Pushing her hair back behind her ear, Harry kissed her. "Do you really mean it?" he asked.
Laying down on the sofa Harry felt Ginny's weight as she laid on top of him.
"Mean what?" she asked. She could feel his heart still beating fast, and she could smell the cologne he wore, that she loved.
"That one day you will Mrs. Ginny Potter." Ginny met his eyes.
"Harry I loved you before I even met you. I read stories about you, and fell asleep thinking you would some day come back to the wizarding world and ask me to be your girlfriend, you know the typical little girl fantasy dream-" She let out a shy smile "- and when I found out my brother was best mates with Harry Potter, well wow, I thought maybe my dreams were going to come true. But then I met you, and I saw how you looked at me, I was just a little girl in your eyes. And now... look at us. So you actually think I will throw this all away and not want to become Mrs. Potter some day?" she asked.
Harry smiled at her. "I was stupid, I don't know why I did not ask you out earlier, I had to be an idiot and waste my time chasing Cho Chang, before realizing there was this beautiful little red head for me. And It took me 6 years to realize how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Harry said.
They were about to kiss when they heard some one clear out their throat.
Ginny got of Harry. "Oh.. Ron, Hermione asked me to tell you she would meet up with you at the Great Hall." She said rearranging her clothes.
Harry fixed his shirt, "Hey mate, had a good sleep? Got up to eat huh?"
Ron yawned acting like if had not just seen his little sister getting cozy with his best mate, he was happy to see them together. But he still was not used to the idea of seeing them so romantic. "I am starving!" He said yawning. "Hey do you guys know when our next practice will be? I had a terrible dream, that Slytherin had won." He said as he followed behind Harry and Ginny.
All three walked out the Gryffindor common room, and where now making their way for dinner at the Great Hall.
"Well George sent me a letter yesterday, and it said Miranda had asked one of her best mates to come and coach us a bit. For this years last game against Slytherin. So he should be here I would assume this week." Ginny said.
Harry and Ron looked at each other "Wonder who she sent, but who ever it is I am sure they will be great, Miranda was really looking forward to the big game."
Ginny jumped the last step. "Don't know, she said something about him being some professional quidditch player, or something like that." She said walking backwards, as she looked at Harry and Ron.
Harry and Ron shrugged. Walking into the Great Hall they joined their house table with their mates. The smell of fresh baked ham, sweetened to perfection with pineapple, and mashed potatoes, fresh baked breads. Corn on a cob. And chocolates cakes, and fresh cut fruit.
