Why Attend?
These days, an effective whistleblower hotline represents a crucial element of any public or private organisation's Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) programme. Indeed, it is often one of the first compliance initiatives that organisations put in place, and for good reason. As part of their hotline programme, most organisations implement a 'no retaliation' policy – but what are the realities of retaliation, and what can organisations really do to monitor, manage and minimise retaliation?
In this interactive Compliance Tech Talk hosted by Convercent, we are bringing together a group of compliance directors and General Counsels for a roundtable event to discuss such key issues as:
- How hotlines help identify, prioritise and enable a response to emerging risks
- What are the best practices for creating and maintaining effective hotlines
- How contributing factors, multiple allegations and enhanced reporting capabilities provide meaningful insight into employee behaviour
- What are the realities of retaliation?

Chief Product Officer
With an extensive technology background, experience in GRC product development, and an entrepreneurial mind, Philip Winterburn understands what it takes to create innovative software solutions. In partnership with Patrick Quinlan, Barclay Friesen and Chuck Boyle, Philip launched Convercent with the vision of developing a modern GRC solution for the business community.

Early Days Spent On My Knees At Glory Holes
It seems that the largest cities only have a few adult bookstores and the city Fathers, in all of there wisdom, had the stores take the doors off the booths, cover the gloryholes, and install video surveillance. Bummer. We have to go to L. A. or S. F. We would come to my house after school, before my parents came home and suck each other for what seemed like hours at a time.
Day At The Y For 18yo Gay Guy
A 18 year old boy was going to go to the "Y" on a Sunday to hang out with his friends, do some swimming, play some pool. you know what I mean. Sure, Eric was gay, but no one knew. He couldn't tell anyone, for fear of being the laughing stock of the neighborhood, so he just went along with what the "straight" guys did. but that was as far as it would ever go.
Roadwork Cock Driver
It flew past me, then stopped and backed up to me. A humpy looking guy sat behind the wheel, his eyes took in my tall muscular, brown haired, blue eyed body. From what I could see of him, he had blond hair, deep blue eyes and a well built body too. "Sure. I know a place we can go and get it on," he said.
Gay Motorcyclist Sex
The sleek black machine sped along the macadam, hugging the tight curves and cruising over the long straight-a-ways. My destination? Nowhere. Everywhere! I was on my own; free. No questions to answer; no explanations to make up; no strings attached. There were no regrets. A few happy moments to remember.
My Anal Sex Lunch Date
I was nervous, but excited, and I hoped that someone would open the door. Maybe I'd better start from the beginning. My name is Bobby, and for the past several months, I've been developing a side to my sexuality that I didn't know existed. Sure there had been signs, but I guess I must have overlooked them. I'm talking about sex with other men. And I need sex! I've always known that.
Well Hunked Neighbor And His Brother
As i was about to go to the mall, I saw them arrived and parked their car at the garage. I didn't mind them when suddenly two guys went out from the car. I've never seen them before. Maybe they are the relatives of the one who lived there. And so i watched them unload their things from the trunk. I was about to enter the car, when this guy approached me.
I quickly wrapped my towel around my waist, hoping that the only thing he saw was my naked ass. It was no use to run, even though it was the sensible thing to do, given a choice between fight or flight. The football game ended at least 2 hours earlier and I had just finished drying the last batch of towels before deciding to take a shower myself. I was certain that it would hurt. Kiss his balls.
Health Club Hookups
One evening, I went to swim about 10PM. Very few people were around so I had the place to myself. When I was done, I went to the locker room and then to the showers. A few minutes later, an Asian guy came in and stood at the shower across from mine. He was very thin and smooth, but had a thick black bush and a large hard cock. He noticed me looking and kept on showering. I said I wouldn't min.
I am a masturbator and an exhibitionist, and often take digital pictures of myself masturbating in different places and post them in various internet groups. One day I was driving out in the countryside and I passed an old barn that seemed to be abandoned. There was no-one around, and the field around it was all overgrown.

another fancy twist to the friendship bracelet.
these are cute, easy, and they fit right in with the valentine's day frenzy. they would be perfect for a little gift for some friends.
|scotch tape, 2 colors of embroidery floss, a pair of scissors
AlRiGhT, here we go.
|cut 4 strands of each color. each strand should be at least 2 feet long (probably longer)
|tie a knot at the top of the 8 strings and arrange them in a mirror image of each other. the color of the heart should be on the outside.
The Forward Knot
|so do the first "v" of a friendship bracelet
|then a blue v
|this part is weird. take the blue string (that was the 2nd string) and do a backward not on the left side and a forward knot on the right so that the blue is on the outside.
|then leave the blue on the outside and take the red and finish the v.
|now take the red and move IT to the outside. ^same as before with the blue^
|finish the v with the blue
|then do a normal red v. it's a heart! :)
and there you have it. go ahead - wear it with pride! ;)

I have been trying to build trunk from "trunk" versions of apr and apr-util. buildconf complains about not being able to find APR-util (or apr-UTIL). In any case, caps are involved. Windows might not complain, but UNIX does. To test what you are testing - should I use apr and apr-util trunks, or is it better "in all thinks" - i.e. including httpd-trunk builds to use the released versions of apr, or their trunk versions. Reading the lists I see many of you are involved in both projects. I just want to be in sync with the ways you test for new releases.

Italiana Hotel Cosenza
Lee from Sheffield UK, Sheffield
A fantastic modern hotel, with great staff and very friendly. I had a twin room for 3 nights while i visited Cosenza to see friends, very modern and clean much much more than a normal 4 star, should be 5 star. Breakfast excellent and the bar prices were very good. I will stop here on my next visit to Cosenza 100 per cent.
The best thing about my stay was...Luxury at an affordable price, great rooms, bar and breakfast! All of it!

Many people say David Davis has made a terrible mistake in resigning his seat to take on the Government over extending pre-charge detention to 42 days. However noble the cause, they declare, he has put himself before the interests of the party, and engaged in an unnecessary battle that could damage the Tories and revive a stricken Gordon Brown.
Maybe they are right. We will see. But it is possible that some other people are about to make a mistake that could surpass Mr Davis's. I am thinking of Rupert Murdoch, owner of The Sun, Rebekah Wade, its editor, and Kelvin MacKenzie, a columnist for the paper as well as a former editor, who is thinking of opposing Mr Davis in the by-election at Haltemprice and Howden.
Mr MacKenzie may still have second thoughts, and has said he will not stand if Labour puts up a candidate. But he claims that he has the support of Mr Murdoch and Ms Wade, and that they are jointly raising the banner of democracy. If they have any sense they will promptly lower it, and go back to what they are best at doing, and have spent their time on this earth doing – producing newspapers.
In democracies, governments do not own newspapers, though they try to manipulate them, and sometimes succeed. For their part, newspapers and their proprietors do not own governments, though they may also try, and Mr Murdoch has got closer than most to succeeding. It is no idle convention that the executive should keep out of the media, and the media out of the executive, but the essence of our democratic system. In one-party states, by contrast, government and press are one and the same.
If Labour does not stand, Mr Murdoch will, through the auspices of Mr MacKenzie, be acting as its substitute. And this will rightly open the press tycoon to the charge that he has crossed the normally well-observed line between trying to influence political events, which is the proper role of the press, and actually shaping them. If Mr MacKenzie should win – admittedly, a highly unlikely prospect, but obviously theoretically possible – he would become not so much the representative of the people of Haltemprice and Howden as of a billionaire media mogul living in America.
Of course, he would be most unlikely to win. The Sun claims 10 million readers – about one-quarter of the electorate. In fact, many Sun readers would probably vote against Mr MacKenzie, for the same reason that I would vote against an Independent newspaper candidate if one stood in my constituency: the Fourth Estate should not involve itself in politics. Other readers, and the many who don't take newspapers, would probably gang up against Mr MacKenzie for the same reason, or out of sheer dislike of The Sun and its values. Though it is not my first concern, the paper's reputation is bound to suffer should Mr MacKenzie enter the ring.
If Mr Davis's decision to resign and stand again in his own constituency on a single issue is without precedent, Mr MacKenzie's possible involvement does have historical parallels. In February 1930, Lord Beaverbrook, owner of the Daily Express, formed the United Empire Party to promote his policy of free trade within the British Empire. He was supported by his close friend Lord Rothermere, proprietor of the Daily Mail. Both men despised the Tory leader, Stanley Baldwin. In the event, Beaverbrook's candidate went down to a heavy defeat in a by-election. This was the occasion of Baldwin's famous speech, written by his cousin Rudyard Kipling, about proprietors "aiming at power without responsibility – the prerogative of the harlot down the ages".
The times are different, and Mr Murdoch's aims are more modest than Beaverbrook's, but he, too, may be about to end up with egg all over his face.Reuse content

The Gilded Age 1877-1896
The term Gilded Age comes from the title of a novel written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner The novel was about political corruption and greed – traits that were very common during the post-war years It was a period remembered for the growth of big business and the inability and/or unwillingness of political parties to address major issues
Blacks The end of slavery did not mean complete freedom for the blacks Advances came slow and unevenly across the South Many set out to relocate their families and to look for jobs The greatest achievement of the Freedman's Bureau was in education Southerners passed legislation (Black Codes) limiting the freedom of blacks to ensure a stable and subservient workforce
National Labor Union As early as the 1830s there had been attempts to organize labor, but most of the ideas were too idealistic By the 1850s there were some unions that protected skilled trades The Civil War created a need for manual labor and consequently increased the power of unions In 1866 the National Labor Union met in Baltimore to seek an eight-hour workday, worker's cooperatives, and equal rights for women and blacks
Knights of Labor In 1869 it organized a General Assembly which petitioned for equal wages and emphasized the need for reform In 1872 the NLU disbanded but the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor was already being formed Founded by Uriah Stephens in 1869 it started slowly It was one union that accepted most people who had ever worked for a wage
In 1879 Terence Powderly succeeded Stephens During the 1880s membership exceeded 700,000 The problem that the unions faced was one of perception – business and government portrayed unions as socialist organizations bent on anarchy and overthrowing the government This perception was not helped by the increase in anarchism in Europe and the rapid growth of organizations promoting revolution As people emigrated to the United States many brought more radical ideas about the role of unions and socialism
Democrats tended to be southern whites, immigrants, Catholics and Jews Between Grant and Taft the Republican Party controlled the White House (except for Cleveland's two terms) – but few presidents won a majority of the popular votes For most of the time Democrats controlled the House while Republicans controlled the Senate Most attempts to regulate big business were overturned in the courts Big business and politicians formed a close alliance they benefited both – accepting bribes and kick-backs was seen by many as acceptable
Rutherford B. Hayes Hayes was the political antithesis of Grant, but he was plagued by the Compromise of 1877 In office he was often referred to "His Fraudulence" he had been nominated only because he offended no one The Republican Party split into two factions: Stalwarts – led by Senator Roscoe Conkling Half-Breeds – led by Senator James Blaine The Stalwarts supported Radical southern policy and the spoils system The Half-Breeds supported civil service reform Hayes allied himself to the reformers
James A. Garfield In 1880 the Stalwarts suggested Grant for a third term A political dark-horse James A. Garfield ended up with the nomination, Chester Arthur as his running mate The Democrats nominated Winfield Scott Hancock the winner at Gettysburg The election was marred by allegations of bribery before Garfield won with less than 50% of the votes In 1881, while walking through the train station at Washington D.C., Garfield was assassinated by Charles Guiteau a deranged office seeker
Chester A. Arthur Arthur was a supporter of the Stalwarts, but proved remarkably capable as president Surprisingly, Arthur distanced himself from the Stalwarts and worked to create civil service reform
Pendleton Act (1883) The Pendleton Civil Service Act established an independent three-member Civil Service Commission that would fill government jobs on the basis of an entrance exam and not favoritism Also during his tenure high protective tariffs created a surplus in the treasury Many wanted to reduce the tariffs to lower the cost of living The result was the "Mongrel Tariff" (1883) with lower rates on some commodities, but higher on others
Election of 1884 The Republican Party dropped Arthur, despite his record, and nominated Senator Blaine of Maine – leader of the Half-Breeds His campaign was based on appealing to core Republican virtues, waving the bloody shirt, and trying to attract the Irish vote by criticizing British foreign policy During the campaign the Democrats revealed that Blaine had received kick-backs from the railroads – a disclosure which upset the reform minded Republicans
Mugwumps Republican leaders withdrew their support and earned the nickname "goo-goos" (the good government crowd) The New York Sun referred to them as Mugwumps (people who sit on the fence) The rise of the Mugwumps encouraged the democrats to nominate Grover Cleveland on the platform of reform (Grover the good) As governor of New York he had taken on Tammany Hall and vetoed special interest legislation
Cleveland was a bachelor but it was revealed he had had a relationship with a widow and the women had given birth to a child "Ma ma where's my pa?" Cleveland accepted responsibility and made payments for the child
When a group of Protestant ministers visited the Republican headquarters in New York they referred to the Democratic party as a party of "rum, Romanism, and rebellion" Blaine, who was present said nothing to defend the Catholics and as a result he lost the Irish vote
Grover Cleveland Once in office Cleveland varied little from his predecessors except to oppose government favors to business However he was surrounded by office seekers who wanted political appointments Before the election he supported the Pendleton Act, but as president he changed it to allow himself to remove party appointments During his tenure he almost doubled the number of federal positions available – and alienated both the Mugwumps and the office seekers
Railroads During the Civil War railroads grew enormously In 1862 the Union Pacific Railroad started westward from Omaha using Irish laborers In California the Central Pacific Railroad, backed by Leland Stanford, with Chinese laborers moved eastward In 1869 the transcontinental railroad was completed in Utah
With the development of steel rails, Westinghouse brakes, and luxurious Pullman cars, rail travel became safer and far more comfortable – although accidents were still common Railroads: connected markets generated jobs increased industrialization helped people settle the West In 1883 four time zones were established But the railroad companies often broke the laws such as the Crédit Mobilier, accepting bribes, and creating "pools"
Wabash Railroad v. Illinois (1886) Since the end of the war the federal government had examined the idea of regulating railroads In the Wabash Railroad v. Illinois case the Supreme Court prohibited the states from regulating rates on interstate traffic Cleveland determined to act and to control the railroads Congress gave away millions of acres of land to railroad companies to encourage development until it was stopped by Cleveland in 1887 By 1900 there were four other transcontinental lines
Interstate Commerce Act (1887) All freight charges on railroads had to be "reasonable and just" Railroads were prohibited from granting special rates or favors, from manipulating the prices by forming pools, and from discriminating against individuals The ICC was created by Cleveland as an independent regulatory commission The ICC had five members who could investigate railroads and prosecute violators Ultimately the commission had little power when forced to prosecute the big companies in court
Big Business By the end of the century the United States was the largest manufacturer in the world: a) abundant resources b) favorable government policies c) free capital to invest d) entrepreneurial spirit and inventions 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone Thomas Edison invented many inventions such as the electric light bulb and the phonograph The Bessemer process allowed steel to be produced that was stronger and cheaper. The "king of steel" was Andrew Carnegie
Carnegie used vertical integration to control all aspects of his industry including the mining John D. Rockefeller used horizontal integration (allied with competitors to create a monopoly) to eliminate other competitors. His big achievement was with Standard Oil Men like Rockefeller and Carnegie created trusts to make themselves more powerful Rockefeller also used interlocking directorates – put his people on the board of other companies J. Pierpont Morgan made a fortune in banking. Morgan bought Carnegie's empire for $400 million – Carnegie spent the rest of his life giving it away
Gospel of Wealth Capitalists used Social Darwinism to justify their success Social Darwinism also coincided with the ideas of Adam Smith, especially concerning the laws of supply and demand Carnegie wrote The Gospel of Wealth (1901) which claimed wealthy people have power but also an obligation to society Baptist preacher Russell H. Conwell preached about "Acres of Diamonds" – everyone who wanted to be rich had the opportunity Horatio Alger "luck and pluck"
Election of 1888 As the election approached the Democrats supported the president The Republicans nominated Benjamin Harrison, grandson of William Henry Harrison Harrison was their choice because he had done little to upset people and make enemies The main issues were protective tariffs and pensions for veterans Big business supported the Republicans hoping to maintain protective tariffs Cleveland called the tariffs un-American and called for free trade
Benjamin Harrison Cleveland won the popular vote but lost in the electoral college in an election noted for paid votes Harrison had seemed to support some type of reform, but many of his appointments were questionable He did appoint Theodore Roosevelt to the Civil Service Commission In 1890 to repay the veterans for their support Congress passed the Dependent Pension Act which almost doubled the pension rolls Republicans controlled Congress allowing Harrison even greater freedom
Billion Dollar Congress
Granger Movement In 1866 the Dept. of Agriculture sent Oliver H. Kelley on a tour of postbellum southern farms Kelley decided to do something to help the isolated farmers In 1867 he founded the Patrons of Husbandry (The Grange) By 1874 membership was almost at 1.5 million Initially to help with the isolation of the farmers the movement soon changed to become cooperatives for buying and selling crops The Grangers then became involved in politics
Their main concern was the regulation of railroad rates and warehouse rates Five states passed Granger Laws which challenged the power of the railroad and warehouse owners In Munn v. Illinois (1877) the Supreme Court ruled that states had the right to regulate property in the interest of public good Eventually the Granger movement lost its momentum and was replaced in 1875 by the Independent National party (Greenback party) – which emphasized the use of paper money But in the 1880 the party declined and disappeared after 1884
Farmer's Alliance The first alliance was formed in 1873 Like the Grange it was aimed at improving the social and recreational conditions of the farmers They too, soon became involved in politics The movement was especially popular in the South and Midwest as farmers sought help to fight increasing debt and declining prices In 1886 the Colored Alliance was formed to represent black farmers Also in 1886, Texas suffered a severe drought. President Cleveland vetoed a bill that would have helped the farmers
In response the farmers challenged the Democrats in the polls In 1887 a blizzard swept through the West and devastated many farms. Without government aid many farmers became supportive of the idea of a third-party Although many parties appeared the most successful was the Populist party
Populist Party Involved in the elections between 1892-1908 the won control of many state legislatures and Kansas even elected a Populist candidate to the Senate In 1892 the Populist party met in Omaha to decide on a national platform and nominated James Weaver as their candidate The platform was finance, transportation, land, a one-term presidency, and limiting immigration
Haymarket Affair (1886) The Knights of Labor set a deadline of May 1, 1886 for the implementation of an eight-hour day On May 3 a strike at the International Harvester plant in Chicago resulted in the death of one of the strikers A small group of anarchists called for a protest to be held at Haymarket Square the following night The crowd listened to speakers and then started to disperse – just as policemen arrived and ordered the crowd to go home
A bomb was thrown at the police, killing one and injuring others The police opened fire on the crowd The police arrested seven anarchists and put them on trial Despite a lack of hard evidence all seven were convicted and sentenced to death Two were reprieved, one committed suicide, and four were hanged Six were German-speaking and one was a member of the Knights of Labor Reaction was swift and decisive – the Knights collapsed
American Federation of Labor Craft workers often refused to join unions with non-craft workers, fearing a loss of their prestige In 1886 several craft unions formed the American Federation of Labor (AFL) It was not like the Knights because each union retained some autonomy Samuel Gompers was president from the start until his death in 1924 (except for one year) Gompers wanted concrete gains for his workers not just promises of social reform By 1914 it had over 2 million members
McKinley Tariff Act (1890) Once in office Harrison started to spend the money Cleveland had saved. Congress authorized money for lighthouse, coastal defenses, pensions, and other projects Congress passed the McKinley Tariff Act (1890), which made high protective duties even higher and increased prices for many household commodities. In 1890 Congress also passed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, and agreed to buy 4,500,000 oz of silver every month and to issue paper money equaling the full amount purchased
Sherman Antitrust Act (1890) The Sherman Antitrust Act was the first legislation to limit trusts It was based on the constitutional power to regulate interstate trade Stockholders transferred their shares to one person or trustees who then controlled the company and eliminated competition The Sherman Act authorized the government to dismember trusts and to prevent monopolies In 1895 the Supreme Court abolished the Sherman Act in the United States v. E. C. Knight Company
The Homestead Strike (1892) Increasing violence continued to hinder union progress At the Homestead Works in Pittsburgh the union and management (controlled by Andrew Carnegie) enjoyed a working relationship In 1889 H. C. Frick became president and he was determined to suppress the union By 1891 the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers was probably the largest craft union In 1892 union contracts were to be renewed
Carnegie had conveniently gone to Scotland and left the matter to Frick Frick wanted to reduce the number of workers and to limit the power of the union – a fact Carnegie knew On June 29 the works closed as unionist were locked-out Frick built a 12 ft fence around the works and hired 300 Pinkerton detectives As the detectives approached the works on barges the meet unionists Someone fired and six unionists and three Pinkerton s were killed
After several days the state militia arrived to protect the detectives The strike continued but when a deranged Lithuanian immigrant shot and stabbed Frick, sympathy for the union ended
Election of 1892 The Republicans nominated Benjamin Harrison. The Democrats nominated Grover Cleveland. The Populists nominated James Weaver Cleveland won both the popular vote and the electoral college – Weaver collected over 1 million votes, won several states, and collected 22 electoral votes
The Panic of 1893 One of the most severe economic crises Caused by: a) agricultural depression b) a decline in gold reserves c) unsound railroad financing The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad declared for bankruptcy and started a panic on Wall Street Over 600 banks closed and millions lost their jobs
Coxey's Army (1894) Led by the Populist Jacob Coxey a large number of unemployed protestors marched on Washington D.C. They demanded federal help Coxey and his family rode in a carriage but in the capital he was arrested for walking on the grass The marchers dispersed without trouble. But the march did scare people who saw it as the start of anarchy The Populists were quickly labeled socialists
Pullman Strike (1894) The Pullman Strike was one of the most significant work-stoppages in American history The town of Pullman Illinois housed workers from the Pullman Palace Car Company Workers had to pay high rent, utilities, and purchase goods from the company store During the Depression of 1893 the company laid off 3,000 workers and cut wages while maintaining rent and other charges When 3 members of the negotiating committee were fired the union called a strike
Pullman workers were members of the American Railway Union, founded by Eugene V. Debs In June the company refused to arbitrate so union workers stopped handling Pullman cars In a few weeks the country was almost brought to a halt Railroad executives brought strikebreakers from Canada and ordered them to connect the mail cars to the Pullman cars so that the strikers were now affecting the mail The U.S. attorney-general deputized over 3,000 men to keep the mail running
In July President Cleveland sent federal troops to Chicago – despite the fact the Illinois governor did not want them Cleveland claimed he had a responsibility to protect the mail The attorney-general won an injunction claiming the strike violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act The union called off the strike and on the same day a court sentenced Debs to six months in jail In the case of In re Debs (1895) the Supreme Court upheld the decision on the grounds of national sovereignty
Silver v. Gold In the early 1890s a major British bank failed and many investors sold off their stocks in American companies for gold The gold reserve fell below $100 million and the president had to repeal the Sherman Silver Purchase Act With new interest in silver the western states gained significant political power The issue of gold v. silver would be a main point of contention in the upcoming election
Election of 1896 The Republicans nominated William McKinley from Ohio (good war record, congressional track record, well-liked) At the democratic convention in Chicago the party was in disarray and could not find a good candidate William Jennings Bryan took the stage and delivered his "Cross of Gold" speech and immediately gained the nomination He was a silverite from Nebraska The democrats demanded unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16-1
The "Gold Bugs" spread rumors about Bryan and how much money people would lose if the Democrats won the election - "In God we Trust, with Bryan we Bust" Mark Hanna, Chairman of the Republican National Committee collected millions from big business Republican businessmen placed contingency contract with factories which would be voided if the Democrats won In the end McKinley won easily
Plessy vs Ferguson In 1896 segregation was validated by the Supreme Court The Court ruled that "separate but equal" was in accordance to the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment In reality what it created were two world - one white and one black

Before I continue with this review, please note that I have not read
the book, but am going to in the very near future :) Please note that
Im also a (straight) guy... not that it matters :P
Wow what can I say about this movie. From the moment the title sequence starts, I was hooked straight away. Scene to scene this movie just manages to suck me into this beautiful world of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. The chemistry between Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elsort is astounding and the performances were astonishing. Honestly, this is the best movie I have seen all year, even better than Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Godzilla which was a massive surprise. I just thought this was going to be another teenie love story and boy was I wrong. I loved this movie and recommend it to everyone across all ages. I'm rambling on and praising the movie now so I should probably get on with the review.
The direction and cinematography was fantastic. Not a single shot felt odd or out of place. Every shot matched the scene and felt real. The editing was also great as shot after shot matched with the characters faces and where they were (typical good movie editing stuff).
The acting perhaps was one of the best aspects of this movie. Seriously it makes the two characters feel real and alive, and at times I forgot this was fiction and not based on a true story. Their performances were so heartfelt and definitely Oscar worthy in my opinion. But knowing the academy this is just another teenie love story that will not be acknowledged at all. Hopefully I'm wrong, but thats the way it normally is.
This is the first movie this year that I have given a 10. I don't give out 10's easily, but there was seriously nothing wrong with this film. The pacing was perfect, the acting was phenomenal, the direction, editing and cinematography was exceptional and overall, this movie is one of the best romantic comedies that have ever touched the face of the earth. I encourage EVERYONE to go see this movie no matter what age you are and bring a packet of tissues as well. You'll need it.

There is an island in the sky.
He called it; the floating island.
A harmless village boy living in the rural lands, Iolani Tori is afraid of heights and loud noises. He is also afraid of something simple. Something that we are all afraid of. Taken by surprise when he receives a mysterious letter addressed to him, Io finds out that the floating island wasn't a figment of his imagination after all.
A talking sparrow;
An eagle's eye;
A waiting vulture,
And a silent night.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the exercise undertaken by it for framing guidelines for reporting court proceedings was aimed at making the press know its "lakshman rekha" and not intended for taking punitive action against scribes.
The remarks came when advocate Ashok Arora, former secretary of Supreme Court Bar Association, was making submission against the endeavour to frame any guidelines for media.
"Whatever efforts we are making, please don't understand that it is for punishing or taking punitive action. We only want that press should know what is the 'lakshman rekha' for them. We want to make them know what are the points that has to be kept in mind," a five-judge Constitution bench headed by chief Justice SH Kapadia said.
The bench said media should understand that the guidelines will have nothing to do with the punishment part. An exercise has been undertaken to make them know that they cannot go beyond a "particular limit".
"This is the area we are exploring and this court has to lay down the contours of Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. Please help us," the bench, also comprising justices DK Jain, SS Nijjar, Ranjana Prakash Desai and JS Khehar said.
Arora, who was appearing for a lawyers association, suggested that "knowledge of law alone is not sufficient for administration of justice."
He stretched his submission by saying that spiritual training and training of mind will help the judges even if spin is given by media about court proceedings.

Biography(Masterpieces of American Literature)
Mavis Gallant was born Mavis Young in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on August 11, 1922. Her father, who died when she was ten years old, was Anglo-Scottish; her mother, who soon remarried, was American. At age four, Gallant was sent to a French convent school and subsequently attended a number of boarding schools, completing her education at a New York high school, where she had been sent to live with a guardian.
After returning to Canada, she married John Gallant in 1943 and got a job as a feature reporter with the Montreal Standard, where she worked for six years. She began writing and publishing short stories in Canadian journals during this period, which she has called her apprenticeship. Although she has said she liked the life of a reporter, her goal was to move to Paris before she was thirty and write nothing but fiction. In 1948, she and her husband were divorced; she moved to Europe in 1950.
Gallant began her lifelong association with The New Yorker in 1950, rather insecurely. As she tells the story, she procured the services of an agent in the United States, because she knew she was going to be traveling around in Europe. She sent the agent several stories, all of which he said he was unable to place. It was only when she was destitute in Madrid in 1952 that she happened to see a copy of The New Yorker with one of her stories in it. She contacted the magazine and found out that her agent did sell the stories to The New Yorker and other magazines, giving a fictitious address for her in Europe and keeping the money. Gallant has said that the feeling of dismay she experienced when she believed every...

Biography(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
Born in Montreal in 1922, Mavis Gallant (née Mavis de Trafford Young), an only child, was placed in a Catholic convent school at the age of four. She attended seventeen schools: Catholic schools in Montreal, Protestant ones in Ontario, as well as various boarding schools in the United States. After the death of her father, Gallant lived with her legal guardians in New York, a psychiatrist and his wife. At the age of eighteen, Gallant returned to Montreal. After a short time working for the National Film Board of Canada in Ottawa during the winter of 1943-1944, Gallant accepted a position as reporter with the Montreal Standard, which she left in 1950. In 1951, Gallant began contributing short-fiction stories to The New Yorker. In the early 1950's, she moved to Europe, living in London, Rome, and Madrid, before settling in Paris in the early 1960's. It was through her travels and experiences in France, Italy, Austria, and Spain that she observed the fabric of diverse societies. During the initial years of her life in Europe, Gallant lived precariously from her writings, ultimately becoming an accomplished author, depicting loners, expatriates, and crumbling social structures. Gallant settled in Paris, working on a history of the renowned Dreyfus affair in addition to her work in fiction. Gallant settled in Paris, occasionally traveling to Canada, the United States, and England.
Biography(Survey of Novels and Novellas)
Mavis Gallant was born Mavis de Trafford Young in Montreal, Quebec, in 1922, to Canadian Scottish Protestant parents. Her early life in a city of diverse languages, religions, and cultures gave her a sense of pluralism that permeates all her fiction. Sent away to a French boarding school at the age of four, she attended a succession of seventeen different schools in both the United States and Canada. The constant change in school venues gave her a keen sensitivity to the sense of displacement and exile that is explored in so much of her fiction.
Gallant chose not to attend college but instead returned to Montreal, intent on a writing career. She took a job with the National Film Board of Canada in 1943, editing documentary films, but soon resumed her search for a writing job. She was hired by the Montreal Standard newspaper in 1944 as a feature writer and worked there until 1950. Her story "With a Capital T," collected in Home Truths, is a good account of what it was like to be an intelligent, imaginative young woman grudgingly allowed by old newspapermen to fill in while the younger men were away at war. During her time at the Standard her five-year marriage to John Gallant, a musician from Winnipeg, ended in divorce in 1948.
Gallant had set herself the goal of being independent by the age of thirty, and, in 1950, despite a chorus of dire warnings from her peers, she resigned her position with the...

Samantha Jones, midlife icon
With her penchant for one night stands, saying exactly what she thinks, and flaunting convention at every turn, the character of Samantha Jones from Sex and the City would probably laugh to hear that she's a role model for anyone.
Yet, of the four characters from the famed sitcom-turned-movie franchise, Samantha is not only the last single woman standing, she has gone from being a character who is, arguably, the least representative of single womankind to the one who most embodies what it means to be a smart, savvy, fully realized unmarried woman in the 21st century.
In the second film, Samantha, like so many women her age, battles hot flashes — practically bursting into flames when she begins to lose her life-defining (or, at least, dignity-preserving) natural hormones. But mostly, Samantha has become a role model for women looking for an example of how to age gracefully — and without a husband.
And Samantha is getting more company all the time: In 1970, only 28% of the U.S. population listed themselves as divorced, widowed or as having never been married. By 2008, it was a whopping 45% — with single women 45 and older numbering 27 million strong. And according to a 2009 U.S. census report, 11.5% of women between the ages of 45 and 49 have never been married (up from 10.7% in 2005). That's a hefty percent of the population — and characters like Samantha have done a great deal to shift the way we look at single women who choose to remain unmarried. Where so-called "spinsters" were once viewed with pity (or even scorn), now, they're often envied.
Over the course of Sex and the City's progression from hit TV series to films, Samantha is portrayed as being sexual and successful. She refuses to bow her head to men in business, often using her looks to her advantage. She is someone who does what she wants, when she wants. She puts her girlfriends first, makes a good living and — at least, so far — has not gone under the knife in a significant way.
Samantha isn't perfect and has made her share of questionable decisions; surely we can all identify with that, at least! In the first movie, she let go of the fantastic Smith (OK, maybe that was only a mistake in the eyes of most single ladies) because she felt her own fabulousness being eclipsed by her ongoing relationship with a movie star. (She should have known her own fabulousness could not be eclipsed by anyone!) And in the sequel, Samantha showed a lack of sensitivity to foreign cultures that cost her both her vacation and her dignity.
Samantha's character has changed over the years from a two-dimensional sexpot to a highly evolved woman who knows exactly what she wants. At first, she seemed to be living her life on the run — as if true emotions were so terrifying that the only way to avoid them entailed keeping every relationship superficial. (Shades of my 40s!) But meeting Smith changed that (remember the famous episode where he wanted to hold her hand while they walked together?) and opened up Samantha's heart to real romance. Still, despite her obvious love for Smith, she made it clear that she was with him because she wanted to be, not because she had to have someone in her life to feel complete. And when she chafed with restlessness and decided to break things off, her reason was revolutionary. Samantha said: "I love you… but I love me more. I've been in a relationship with myself for 49 years and that's the one I need to work on."
Samantha is credited by some for being the original "cougar," because she was historically nonchalant about the ages of her many lovers. But as her strengths developed, she became a great example of someone who's not a cougar, but rather, a perennial; that is, someone who'll be hot until she's in a retirement home (maybe longer!) and simply loves men, no matter their age.
Kim Cattrall, the 53-year-old actress who plays Samantha, has historically claimed that she is very different from her siren-like alter ego — despite the fact that her most recent boyfriend, Alan Wyse, was 20 years her junior. But based on interviews Cattrall gave while promoting the release of the second Sex and the City film, she's becoming more like her character over time. She was offered the cover of a "major women's magazine" — IF she would pose with a real cougar. "No thanks," she said. And Cattrall told Extra: "I think 'cougar' has a negative connotation and I don't see anything negative about Samantha and her sexuality, sensuality and choices. I think that's something that people who are uncomfortable with strong women have labeled [Samantha]."
You go, girl!
Cattrall lost the magazine cover, but retained her dignity — and her balanced perspective reverberated throughout the media. As the activist website change.org opined: "If only more celebrities would dismiss the cougar fad as eloquently as Cattrall, maybe we'd be one step closer to a less ageist society — and women over 40 wouldn't have to constantly reiterate that they don't have to be either sexless matrons or sexed-up cougars."
Again, Cattrall spoke for many when she suggested retiring the word "cougar." I know many women who date younger men, but hate that word. They date younger men, they say, because men their age are also choosing younger dates — and because younger men can be absolutely lovely. As one friend put it, "they were raised by strong women to respect women, and they think we're goddesses." Is there anything wrong with that?
Like Samantha Jones, Kim Cattrall is driven to succeed. Not content to be just another pretty actress, she has published two books: Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm (coauthored with Mark Levinson) and the more recent Sexual Intelligence. And, like Samantha, Cattrall announced recently that she is satisfied with her husband-free life: "I'll never marry again," she told a British newspaper. "I am self-sufficient… I really don't feel it's necessary."
Cattrall is echoed by Halle Berry, who recently made a similar announcement, adding: "I have a good, healthy love for myself and love in my life. I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife and I don't need the validation of a marriage certificate."
Just a little over 10 years ago — when Sex and the City was brand new — Samantha Jones was a revolutionary character: child-free, ambivalent about marriage, sexually liberated and with an appetite for younger men. Single midlife women have come a long way; Samantha no longer seems like such an anomaly but, rather, more like someone we all know — and perhaps would like to be ourselves.

Love the band, adore Petrucci's God-given talent and musically I think the current self-titled album is an absolute treat BUT LaBrie would have to be the single worst vocalist I've heard out front of a big name prog rock band. I'm assured that this vocals will grow on me - that was 5 years ago and it hasnt happened yet. I claimed a while back that DT need a Geddy Lee out front and was howled down by fans of both bands, but clearly I'm a slow learner :D
Edit: my question is whether you've grown accustomed to his vocals and - if so - how long did it take ?
So, who would I replace him with ? My first choice would be Clint Boge, an Aussie formerly of The Butterfly Effect:
Of course, there's more to fronting a band than vocal range or delivery - LaBrie clearly meshes with the band if he's been there since 91. Most marriages dont last that long ;)
(Apologies to any longtime DT fans I may have offended with the above rant - just one persons opinion - happy to hear yours)
