I was so looking forward to this movie ever since I heard the press
release that it was being made. I liked some of the action scenes and I
am a huge Bruce Willis fan.... and that's about it.
Where to begin? Well, for starters, the story is rather bland. For a Die Hard film, I would rather see the terrorists planning some kind of heist. It makes the story a little bit more interesting. Instead, they are after some file that we don't even know what it is until the third act (apparently its on the bad guy of the film). It reminded me of Home Alone 3 when the bad guys were looking for a computer chip in a toy car. Not only that, but it just looks like they were making it up as they were going along.
The villains were also forgettable. These are the worst villains in the franchise. At least in the previous Die Hard films, they were somewhat dangerous. Hans Gruber was terrifying and made his mark when he shot Tokagi, and that bad guy from the second one crashed planes full of innocent people, and Simon seemingly planted a bomb in a school, and the villain in the fourth film pretty much took control of the world! So what made these villains stand out? Ummmm.... well.... they beat the crap of the McClanes. That's all I can really say. I guess having nukes is bad. Really, they just sucked.
Now this one pains me the worst: John McClane. I know he's this wisecracking hero but he comes off as annoying. For the first half of the movie he just sounded like a spoiled child. He also was the blame why the whole mess happened in the first place. Stopping his son from getting away from the terrorists and then whining the whole way through didn't help much either. To top it off, he really just felt like he was more in the background. I know they wanted to have this father/son story akin to Indiana Jones but like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it just cheapens out lead character who we've been following for four films now.
I really hope they make a Die Hard 6 and give John McClane the film that he deserves. Knowing Hollywood, John will probably be at home barking orders while his kids go out and does all the work. Seriously, I hope the sixth Die Hard is the bow out of the franchise that we need, otherwise I would feel pretty bad for John McClane.
The actions scenes weren't bad, though.
There's never been a sequel to The Christmas Story. You may have seen a
movie you THOUGHT was Christmas Story 2, but there never was a
Christmas Story 2. Daniel Stern never tried to replace Darren McGavin.
There's never been a Christmas Story sequel that shovels every
memorable moment into the sequel just because. There's never been a
Jean Shepard soundalike that would fit right at home with a video game
version of the film.
I know the filmmakers were trying hard but let's be honest, was this film really necessary? I mean, I'm sure there was a love and devotion to the film because they were huge fans of the original but if that's the case, everyone should just make their own spin on Christmas Story 2. That's what it seems like anyway.
The film takes place with Ralphie in his teen years. I will say one good thing that they did pick a decent Ralphie. Heck, I even liked Flick and Schwartz in this. Ralphie wants a car for Christmas as opposed to the Red Rider BB Gun. There's a miss opportunity here where instead of "You'll shoot your eye out" it could be something like, "You can't drive, kid" or something to that effect. Then Ralphie ends up damaging the car and the car owner wants him to pay for it so he and his friends go get demeaning jobs.
The problem with this movie is that it's not nearly as fun as Christmas Story. It tries hard, but it doesn't succeed. Ralphie even has these imagination sequences that seem too juvenile for someone at his age. They refer to Christmas Story like it was last year when it's supposed to be years later. Wouldn't they be talking about a different Christmas by now? It's just not very good. Oh, and Daniel Stern (as good as an actor he is) just comes off as annoying and I can't see The Old Man anywhere in him.
I'll end this review on a good note though. The love interest is insanely hot. I see Ralphie has good tastes. Unfortunately how he talks to her at the end is shoehorned in and-- OK I'm trying to end on a good note here. The girl is gorgeous. That is all.
I have a confession: I liked the two remakes by Platinum Dunes. I
thought they were entertaining, dumb horror films and dare I say it,
actually kinda scary. They weren't masterpieces or anything but I
enjoyed them for the most part so when I found out yet another Texas
Chainsaw movie was coming out, and even though I wasn't impressed with
the trailer, I decided to go see it.
What was I thinking?
I think you are forced to see it in 3D because, well, it says 3D on it but most of the time you forgot you are even watching it in 3D. It adds nothing to this movie. The movie starts off showing clips of the very original Texas Chainsaw Massacre which confused me because it totally obliterates the remakes. Actually it ignores the sequels too as the story picks off from there. It starts off with these hicks burning down the home of Leatherface and his family and one of the hicks takes a baby and kills the mother. Flash-forward to.... how many years later? Is it supposed to be 2012 because the baby should around forty, not in her early twenties as she clearly looks like. Anyway, she finds out she inherited this house and her and her cookie-cutter friends and some hitchhiker who appears nice only turns out to be a thief all go there. Then Leatherface turns out to be in the basement and all hell breaks loose.
This movie is so stupid I don't know where to begin. Well, the actions of the characters are just stupid. Before I get into that, though, there is one good scene in the film when Leatherface is chasing them but it all goes downhill from there. The movie offers up these turn of events that make no sense whatsoever. A cop goes back to the house alone and there is no backup anywhere in sight for one lone cop in a house with a crazed psycho with a chainsaw. Then characters turn bad for stupid reasons and one of them that played an intricate part of the storyline just disappears somewhere, never to be heard from again. Then by the end of the film, I don't even know who to root for the main heroine turns completely idiotic. Oh, and the ending just plain sucked.
This film is bad in so many levels. I kept thinking, "Who wrote this crap?" in so many parts of the movie. There wasn't many people at the theater either and I saw it at a night showing. If that's an indication, there might not be another Texas Chainsaw movie. Oh well.
Prior to seeing this movie, I did hear some good buzz. I was tired and
really wasn't in the mood to see it but I didn't want to let down my
lady friend so I went. I am so glad I did! When a movie draws you in
from frame 1 to the very end, that's great storytelling. This film
proves that you don't need any gimmicks Hollywood shovels at you to
immerse you into a film when good storytelling fares better than any
gimmick you can throw out there.
I don't even know where to start. I guess I can start with the performances. Let's just say the performances were so good, that I got lost in the characters. Jamie Fox, who is a very talented actor, actually got me worried because at first I thought that any actor could play that role. But as time went on, I can't imagine any other actor who can pull that performance off as well as he can. Christoph Waltz proves that you can never say that actors these days are bad. He is incredible, as always! The biggest surprise to me, however, is with Leonard Dicaprio who plays a very mean businessman, and he played it so well that I even forgot that he was Leonardo Dicaprio. I believed his character. And wait until you see Samuel L. Jackson. He was hilarious!
The story was riveting. It follows two bounty hunters (Waltz and Fox) on a mission to rescue Fox's wife from a corrupt businessman. The journey there is pure filmmaking genius as this is what a film is supposed to be. It conveys all kinds of emotions and when its funny, its laugh-out-loud funny, and when its suspenseful, you are at the edge of your seat. Honestly, this is what films should be and definitely a testament to what a great film-going experience is supposed to be.
I honestly can't believe it took me this long to see this movie and glad I got to experience it at the theater. Next time, when I hear good buzz like that, I should listen. I was actually thinking this film was going to be boring. I was so wrong this time and I'm the type of guy who would never admit it. Best film of 2012 and most likely at the top 10 of all time for me!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This was a very weird film. I don't know what else to say other than
its weird. Its about a group of people, one being a kid, in the middle
of a snowy desert who capture Santa Claus who has strange eyes, acts
really weird, and possibly eats children I don't know. It's weird. This
Santa Claus can snap in a minute. Watch out.
Then they take the strange Santa Claus to bargain with one of the elves but then the elf gets offed and a bunch of elves come after them and it turns out they captured an elf who looks like Santa Claus and Santa is encased in some icy home which needs to be destroyed.... you see what I mean? This film is weird! The ending was decent enough but it was still very weird and bizarre and.... yeah definitely an acid trip.
So smoke some weed and watch Rare Exports. I think that was what this film was made for!
I came into this movie for one thing and one thing only: entertain me.
The movie did just that and I'm happy. Tom Cruise has an impressive
resume. I'm not the biggest fan of his or anything but I cannot deny
his incredible list of movies. Jack Reacher is one of those movies.
First, let me start out by saying that, in the near future when this movie reaches cable or TV and someone hasn't heard of Jack Reacher. Well, they will think this movie has no title because the title "Jack Reacher" is in the same lettering and font as the cast. With that being said, the movie starts off well. In fact, it was riveting because we see future son of John McClane (Jai Courtney) shooting down people with a sniper rifle. What makes it riveting is that we are seeing from the eye of a sniper and what exactly we are seeing from their eyes. Its really well done. Of course he shoots people and the police catch the wrong guy.
Enter Jack Reacher. We are given exposition that he is ghost and that you only find him when he finds you, that type of thing. Pretty soon Jack is investigating the framed sniper, and all sorts of people come out to get a piece of him but luckily Jack is one of those people with a "particular set of skills" and goes all Jason Bourne on them. The action scenes are awesome! I particularly love the car chase scene, you know, the one you saw in the commercial all the time when he's just blending in with the onlookers and the cops never think to check the people in the crowd. What disturbs me on that scene was the cops automatically finger point him for a crime. I just didn't get why they were chasing him in the first place. Did I miss something here or was this just an excuse for a cool action sequence?
While I'm on the negatives here, I just felt like Tom Cruise and that other lead girl he was with (the name escapes me) just felt like characters written on a page. True, I like some of the dialogue Cruise gives out, but I just can't help but seeing them as Hollywood stereotypes.
With that being said, the movie was awesome and I was never bored. It's the last movie I'm seeing this year. So looking forward to what they have in store for 2013!
I couldn't wait for this movie. I took my beautiful date Terra and my
beautiful friend Gina and it would be a glorious night. But dang, is
this movie long! I think it covered more than half the book!
In case you don't know, the movie starts with an old Bilbo narrating as that dragon Smaug attacks the dwarfs and steals their gold. Gandalf enlists young Bilbo (played brilliantly by Martin Freeman) invades his home with the dwarfs and the adventure begins. A lot of amazing things happen along the way (I especially like the scene with the trolls and the fight in the Ewok village later in the movie) but I hate to say it, but man I sure miss Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli from Lord of the Rings. I really didn't care for either of the dwarfs. I loved Bilbo and Gandalf, but these dwarfs. Ugh. Especially, Troin, or whatever his name was, he just seems so bitter and one-dimensional. He hates the elves and finds an awful place to sleep. I swear, every time he finds a place to sleep, trouble happens. He always seem to endanger them when he finds shelter. I also don't know much about the other dwarfs other than they act like children and get mad when someone is trying to help them, especially the elves. Then every single time they are in danger, you know Gandalf will be there to save them. It happens every time. Gandalf should be on this quest by himself! Just to get one more negative out of the way, some scenes drag on a little longer than they should and I almost think this could have been made into one movie.
With that being said, I absolutely loved Bilbo. I enjoyed every scene he was in. Martin Freeman's performance really captured what I think of when I think of a hobbit. Also his scenes with Gollum are simply fantastic. The game of riddles was handled so wonderfully, that I almost wished that was the entire film. Ian McKelland's Gandalf was also excellent, as always, and really the two characters of Bilbo and Gandalf are the core of this film.
If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, definitely see this movie. Despite some of my criticisms, I still think it was a really good movie. I'm looking forward to the next one in 2013.
I finally saw this with my mom and my sister and I'm glad I did. To me,
it's a real treat to see a new Steven Spielberg film. It's like a
theatrical Christmas present. With that being said, I enjoyed Lincoln:
a movie that could have been very boring but carried by strong,
outstanding performances.
Daniel Day Lewis obviously invoked the character of Abraham Lincoln, and brings so much warmth and personality to his role that you really feel like you are watching the real Abe Lincoln. It's his story about freeing the slaves, probably the event he's most known for, and every scene is handled beautifully. You can see the passion Spielberg had in this film, and everyone in the cast, including the writers, brought in their A-game.
I can honestly see this film viewed in classrooms in the future. It's a great historic piece. If this film doesn't win a lot of awards come Oscar time, it's been robbed!
Life of Pi is one of those films that you would think about leaving the
theater and would stick with you for a long while. It has a lasting
appeal, and a great ending that is not often seen in films these days
as most film endings suck.
It didn't start out strong though as we follow an older Pi telling his story to a journalist. He covers the younger years of his life, and if anyone has ever seen The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, you will know that his earlier years is fairly boring. We discover why his name is Pi, and its from a swimming pool. Okay. It isn't until he gets older where we finally see him on that boat and that big tidal wave hits, and the imagery is astounding. Pi is thrust into a lifeboat and this is really where our movie begins. Pi is trapped on a boat with animals: a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena, and a fierce tiger. In fact, most of the movie is spent with Pi surviving hunger and not being eaten by this tiger in the middle of the ocean. What a great concept! It's also narrated by Pi, and its fantastic!
If there is one complaint that I think most people would agree on is the use of very heavy CG. You can almost say there is too much CG and what is some beautiful cinematography. The tiger especially as it looks very good, but at times you can tell it was CG. You would notice this on a scene on a beach where the tiger is walking. The movement seems a little off and it ruins some of the realism on what could have been a very emotional scene.
I can't recommend Life of Pi enough though. There's so many things I could say about it and it is a fantastic journey that if I saw it as a kid, it would be one of those movies I look back on and love even just for nostalgia sake. I'm seeing it again with my mom. This is one journey I think everyone should experience!
My mom really wanted to see this and I'm a big fan of Robert Zemeckis
so it was a win-win situation here. By the end of the film, my mom was
in tears so I know we seen a good movie.
The film follows Whip (Denzel Washington), a pilot who we first see in bed with a hot chick, drinking beer, and snorting cocaine. That's our lead, ladies and gentlemen. What's scarier is that he's about to fly a plane full of passengers. However, he just passes out and the plane malfunctions all on its own. His co-pilot just freaks out but Whip keeps it cool, leveling the plane... and then inverts it. Weird. But what's cool is that we get to see from a cockpit perspective. Honestly, never before have I seen a film that really captures the whole flying thing. I never flown before so this was a close experience.
Sure enough, he lands the plane but it crashes. Luckily, most everyone survived except six people. Still, people want blood and because Whip has an alcohol and drug problem, they want to put him away. So instead of, oh I don't know, staying off the booze, he keeps drinking. Everyone who is trying to help him tells him to stop, but he keeps drinking. So throughout the film, he copes with that but he just can't stop and pushing away everyone around him.
The performances were excellent in this movie. Some of the conversations felt very real, and I sense Oscar nods coming their way. It helps when the writing is superb. The only thing about this movie that it doesn't really have the charm as some of the other Zemeckis films. I don't see repeat viewings or anything. Also, product placement galore!

I often wonder, is it just me that doesn't find the simplest version of code possible on the internet (without reading 50x un-necessary content) ? So from today I am starting to write my findings in the most simple way possible for complete beginners (and to refer myself in the future).
So lets quickly get started on Amazon's wonderful AWS S3 + PHP Tutorial !
You Need :
- Basic knowledge of PHP (functions, variables, namespaces, etc.)
- An Amazon AWS Account (you can start with free tier)
- Not afraid to get hands dirty
What is AWS – Amazon Web Services ?
Amazon web services, or in simple language, cloud, is the ongoing revolution in the field of servers and computing. Just like we don't have to generate electricity or pump water in each of our homes (and let Municipal corporation / local government does that) similarly we allow 'plug and play' providers like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc. does that for us.
Just like electricity, we get a monthly bill generated at the end of the month and only pay for what we have used. This differs from traditional Hosting Providers(Shared, VPS, etc) in two ways :
- You only pay for what you use. So if your website isn't that popular (10 / 20 pageviews a day for example), you pay only for those 20 visitors (or more specifically, their bandwidth).
- Your Website / Backend isn't throttled if, say a million visitors, arrive at your site at once. <insert 21 cents article here>
It is interesting to notew that the definition of 'cloud' itself is ambuigious (like 'apps'). Variouds new age VPS Providers like Digital Ocean bill by the hour (instead of month) and are considered to be hybridn of VPS + Cloud. They are pretty good at what they do (SSD servers from, 5 USD per month) – read my review here.
Amazon Web Services : for normal people
It baffles me even topday why would Amazon pick such 'heavyweight' names for their services. EC2, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, SES, Route 53, etc.
What the hell does each of these mean ? (we would bge working on S3 only in this tutorial)

When word began spreading that Jane's Addiction was contributing a cover of the Rolling Stones classic "Sympathy For The Devil," to the upcoming season finale of the hugely successful biker-gang series "Sons of Anarchy" and its Vol. 2 soundtrack album, nobody really thought they'd be recording a new version. After all, the band's first live album from nearl 25 years ago includes a cover of the iconic song.

Hi all,
I'm using my Raspberry Pi with a kernel (3.2.21-ipipe) patched by Adeos and Xenomai (2.6.1) . I would like to use serial port with RTDM (Real Time Driver Model) but i'm facing some difficulties.
I used this tutorial "http://www.acadis.org/pages/captain.at/ ... rt-example" to configure my system.
What have been done :
- I enabled the 16440A UART driver and configured the hardware acces mode on Memory-mapped I/O
- Looking in the kernel log to find the MMIO and the IRQ
dev:f1: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0x20201000 (irq = 83) is a PL011 rev3
- disable the kernel serial port driver :
setserial /dev/ttyAMA0 uart none
- I loaded the xeno_16550A module
modprobe xeno_16550A mem=0x20201000 irq=83 start_index=0 baud_base=115200
The module seem to be well loaded
root@jedPI:~/rtserial# cat /proc/xenomai/rtdm/named_devices
Hash Name Driver /proc
60 rtser0 xeno_16550A rtser0
Finally, i compiled and loaded this software : (http://powet.eu/raspberrypi/cross_link.c)
I have always this error message " Connection timed out"
root@jedPI:~/examples# ./cross_link
main : write-config written
main : read-file opened

I also found that the number of interrupts does not increase, but also I'm sure the Atmega328 is sending data.
root@jedPI:~# cat /proc/xenomai/irq

Garden Bloggers' Muse Day is hosted by Carolyn Gail at Sweet Home and Garden Chicago
Lovely. It sums up perfectly this time of year.ReplyDelete
Thanks VP - so apt for a beautiful May morning. I must seek out some Loreena Mckennit music
forthwith !
A bit 'Wicker Man' for me...ReplyDelete
A beautiful poem, VP! Thank you for sharing it. I'd like to "tie a ribbon" on spring and hold it here awhile longer!
If I lived in the UK, a great way to celebrate the month of May would be to attend some of the events you mentioned in your YAWA post. I'd really like to know how someone "charms" worms:)
That's my favorite Lorena McKennit song too VP, and I'm sure I've misinterpreted the lyrics. Thanks for posting the 'real' chorus! (hard to believe that song is 12 years old.)ReplyDelete
I love Loreena McKennit's haunting music, VP, but I don't think I've heard this one---which album is it on? I must find/buy it! (And, er, I love the original version of "The Wicker Man" as well, I'll confess. I have both the movie and the book... )ReplyDelete
VP - You and Carolyn Gail are full of music on this springtime of the year. Just beautiful. I love Loreena too. My own posting is haiku brief.ReplyDelete
Wonderful - I've heard this on and off over the years, but Lorena McKennit sings it better than anyone else I've heard.ReplyDelete
I don't know Lorena McKennit's music at all. I am so behind the music times! Thanks for the link it has a hauntingly familiar sound...gailReplyDelete
LOL! I passed the link to the music on to the Bedsock who has now added it to his next Amazon order.
I agree Ben, the original 'Wicker Man' was an extraordinarily disturbing and powerful film.
I adore LMcK and this is a perfect song for May 1. :-) It's not my favourite of her songs, but I love the images it produces.ReplyDelete
Hi everyone - glad to see so many Loreena McKennit fans here or those like Arabella and Anna who are ready to be converted!
As for the Wicker Man - such a camp movie, but then that seems to make the ending so much more horrific. A great movie.
This was lovely - thanks for sharing it.
I watched the Greensleeves Morris Group from Wimbledon yesterday, so feel I've 'done' Mayday properly this year!
Great selection for GBMD, VP. Lorena McKennit has such a beautiful voice.
Like Pat at Commonweeder said we are full of music on this springtime.
Scattered Gardener - you did better than we did, but we'll have loads of them to choose from at the end of the Month!
Carolyn - hope you had a good birthday!
I love hearing from you and welcome thoughtful conversations :)
Comments aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites will be composted!

ST. PETERSBURG — Rocco Baldelli found the situation "ironic."
Baldelli played a full nine innings in rightfield Thursday for the first time this season, another step in his comeback from a rare mitochondrial disorder that causes muscle fatigue. The fact that Baldelli went the longest in the "most important game I've played in" wasn't lost on him.
Typically replaced late in games, Baldelli said he felt good during and after, adding, after all, "It is the World Series."
"It also helps to know in a week I'm not going to have to play baseball for a while," Baldelli said, smiling. "So there's no reason to keep anything in reserve."
Baldelli didn't hold back. He was a huge part of some key moments of the Rays' 4-2 win over the Phillies.
There was the second inning, when Baldelli had a controversial walk and nearly scored.
With one out, one on and the Rays ahead 2-0, Baldelli checked his swing on a 3-and-2 pitch from Brett Myers. Home plate umpire Kerwin Danley appeared to put his arm up to call Baldelli out but then signaled to first-base umpire Fieldin Culbreth for assistance.
"I didn't think I went," Baldelli said. "As I was jogging to first, they said, 'No swing.' "
One out later and with the bases loaded, Baldelli tried to score from second on a B.J. Upton single to right. Jayson Werth threw a strike to the plate, and Baldelli put his shoulder into Carlos Ruiz, who held on for the out.
"I was actually going to slide," Baldelli said. "I looked up, and the ball was already in the mitt. Sliding isn't going to get me anything out of that situation."
Then with runners on first and second and no outs in the fourth, Baldelli beat out a potential double-play grounder. That allowed the next batter, Jason Bartlett, to put down a perfect safety squeeze down the first-base line to score Cliff Floyd and give the Rays a 4-0 lead.
Baldelli did it with his glove, too. With one out in the fifth, he made a big play on a Chase Utley liner to right. Catching it on the run, Baldelli caught Werth too far off first base and doubled him off with a strong throw to Carlos Pena.
"Chase might have hit it off the end of the bat. I broke in and peeked up and saw Werth was just off first," Baldelli said. "I just came up throwing. I just took a chance."
As usual, Baldelli was asked by the Rays coaching staff throughout how he felt. Afterward, there was no denying his satisfaction.
"It's fun being out there at the end of the game," Baldelli said. "It's nice to just slap everyone five at the end."

It's a hot day and the forecast is unhelpful. This is not a weekend for new music: It should probably be treated as a time to just play what you have, to listen to what keeps your temperature down, your mind soft, and your body afloat. And yet!

Bottom line on Carle trade? The money
There were a couple of potential threads for the trade that sent defenseman Matt Carle and a 2009 third-round draft choice to the Flyers for defenseman Steve Eminger, right wing Steve Downie, who will go to AHL Norfolk, and a 2009 fourth-round draft choice.
The Lightning got two players for one. Tampa Bay traded Carle, the player it got from the Sharks in the tide-turning Dan Boyle deal. In Eminger, the Lightning got the right-handed shot it has wanted on the blue line, and a guy who can play the power play and penalty kill.
But the bottom line, it seems, is the money. Carle's salary cap hit, thanks to a four-year, $13.75-million deal, is $3.438-million. Eminger's cap hit on his one-year deal is $1.2-million. That's a savings of $2.238-million that lowers Tampa Bay's team cap number to about $52-million. The limit is $56.7-million.
Carle's salary this season is $2.95-million. Eminger makes the same as his cap number, which means Tampa Bay also lowered its cash out for salaries by $1.75-million to about $48-million, just about what owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie said was their goal.
"Cap space is a commodity," general manager Brian Lawton said, "and it definitely gives us quite a bit of breathing room."
Lawton said no other deals are imminent, but, "If we want to do something down the line bigger, that would afford us more flexibility."
Asked if the trade of Dan Boyle, which in great part was done to shed his six-year, $40-million contract, now should be viewed as a failure, Lawton said, "I think it's a continuation of the process in evaluating what we have and being comfortable we have the right chemistry and the right balance and enough youth in the organization. It's one younger player for two younger players. ... When we went through it, we felt t was something that made sense."
The money becomes an issue because even Lawton admitted the main part of the deal (Eminger for Carle) involves two players who are "very comparable in a lot of ways." But let's concentrate on Eminger, 25, a first-round pick (12 overall) of the Capitals in 2002.
At 6 feet 2, 212 pounds, he is bigger than Carle and, seemingly, would have the ability to be more physical. Eminger is plus-5 in his past six games and on Thursday played a season-high 22:08 against the Senators.

Huston Street earned his second save since returning from injury as the Angels earn their second win in the past nine games, beating the Twins 5-4 in Anaheim Tuesday.
In Street's last appearance Saturday, he blew a save against Cleveland at home. The Angels would go on to walk-off in the bottom of the ninth, winning 4-3. He pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning Tuesday.
Street finished the game by getting Angel-killer Joe Mauer to line out to left. Mauer hit a single and an RBI triple Tuesday. He's hitting .364 (8-for-22) against the Halos this year and is .344 (98-for-285) lifetime. That is the second-highest average all-time against the Angels with a minimum of 200 at-bats, trailing only Jose Altuve (.351).
The Angels entered the game a half-game behind Oakland, but leapfrogged them into fourth place today after the A's lost 10-6 to the Rangers. The Angels remain 12 games behind Texas for first place and seven games out of the wild-card race.
Jhoulys Chacin was the winner Tuesday, improving to 3-4. Former Angel Ervin Santana got the loss and is now 1-7. This was Street's seventh save.

MSU vs. Notre Dame Prediction: Saturday's Game Stacked to Be a ClassicSeptember 10, 2012
Last year it was Michigan State 13 and Notre Dame 31, but Notre Dame had dropped its first two contests before manhandling the Spartans. With NFL-worthy talent on both sides of the line, the Irish moved the Spartans with the precision of a bulldozer plowing through compacted dirt. Notre Dame proved inconsistent, ending with an 8-5 season, but State kept on rolling on their way to posting back-to-back 11-win seasons.
There are some obvious differences from the Spartans of 2011 to this year's team. 1) The departure of State's most successful quarterback in history, Kirk Cousins, to graduation and the NFL versus 2012's new starting quarterback, Andrew Maxwell; 2) Loss of established, talented receivers, most notably B.J. Cunningham, and a diversity of offensive weapons at the position; and 3) A defense, that if it lives up to its legacy, could prove to be as good, or better than last year's D.
Coach Dantonio has established a consistent, winning program, something missing from Spartan Stadium for far too long. Today, kids in the program know what's possible if they listen to their coaches, trust in one another, demonstrate a strong work ethic, and learn from one year, one class to the next. Institutional memory and hunger is ingrained in this team. They're hungry and possess high aspirations. Specifically, they want to defeat Notre Dame, post a fifth consecutive win over Michigan, beat the University of Wisconsin (which spoiled their Big 10 Championship plans in 2011), and plow through their schedule all the way to Pasadena to play for the roses. State's coaches and players are still chaffing from U of M being rewarded with a spot they thought they deserved.
When MSU played Boise State University in the first game of the season, this team possessed the capability to make the contest a runaway. Yet, a new quarterback, largely untested receivers, an absence of established diversity in weapons (those capable of exploding from any position and keeping defenders on their heels) and mistakes and penalties collectively kept the Spartans from exploding and making a huge statement in their 2012 opener. It was, however, an essential rite of passage for this team and its young quarterback, as they played a Top 25 team and won.
In last week's game against Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, the Spartans easily handed the Chippewas a crushing 41-7 defeat. This week, the Spartans will find Notre Dame to be a more potent, punishing opponent than their Big 10/MAC scrimmage. The Irish are off to a 2-0 start coming into East Lansing on Saturday. They punished Navy 50-10 in their opener in Dublin, Ireland. Last week they escaped a potential embarrassment at the hands of in-state rival, Purdue, by winning 20-17 on a field goal.
Fortunately for MSU, Spartan Stadium is a more hospitable venue for the team than Notre Dame's home proved last year. Both teams are 2-0. Both teams have good defenses, but State's can be great. Both teams love Green, but I prefer Sparty's shade. Therefore, I'm placing my bets on Michigan State University's Spartans to win in another under-the-lights contest.
Prediction: Michigan State University 21, Notre Dame 17.

Keyport is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. At the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 7,240,[1][2][3] following a decline of 328 (-4.3%) from the 7,568 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 18 (-0.2%) from the 7,586 counted in the 1990 Census. Keyport's nickname is the "Pearl of the Bayshore" or the "Gateway to the Bayshore".
Keyport was originally formed as a Town on March 17, 1870, from portions of Raritan Township (now Hazlet). On April 2, 1908, the Borough of Keyport was formed, replacing Keyport Town.
Keyport is part of the Bayshore Regional Strategic Plan, an effort by nine municipalities in northern Monmouth County to reinvigorate the area's economy by emphasizing the traditional downtowns, dense residential neighborhoods, maritime history, and the natural beauty of the Raritan Bayshore coastline.

THE countdown is on ahead of the unveiling of the new £27m Shirebrook Academy, which is set to open its doors to pupils and staff after Easter.
Developers have taken nearly two years to build the new school which will see the 700-pupil Academy co-locating with Stubbin Wood special school, which is moving there from its own site on Burlington Avenue, Langwith.
The state-of-the-art building is just yards from the school's current site on Common Lane and Shirebrook Academy headteacher Julie Bloor said the new facilities will leave pupils awestruck.
"I hadn't been inside the building for a while, but now that it has all the furniture in and it looks like a school, I have to say that it has exceeded all our expectations," she said.
"It's wonderful and I think the pupils will be awestruck by how great it is. I'm delighted for them.
"They deserve to attend a school that you can tell straight away by its design and its facilities is going to improve their learning."
The move is one of only a handful of examples in the country where a mainstream school is co-locating with a special school and pupils from both sides will share facilities and, if they choose, eat alongside one another, while the teaching staff will share the same staff room.
Otherwise, both schools have separate entrances, classrooms and outdoor areas and anyone who wants to pass from one school into another will have to use a swipe card.
Shirebrook Academy's pupils will move into the new building when they arrive back after the Easter holidays, although they will be taking it in turns, with Year 10 and 11 students starting there on 16th and other year groups joining them gradually throughout the week.
Pupils will find the building divided into two halves separated by an atrium, complete with hotel lobby style seating in break-out zones and a mixture of café-style and traditional refectory dining facilities.
There is WiFi throughout the building, a well-equipped ICT suite, light and roomy classrooms and a dance studio complete with mirrors, a sprung wooden floor and LED lighting, as well as retractable seating, which can be pulled out to turn the room into a cinema – complete with 3D projection facilities – or a theatre space.
"It is a tremendous statement which will help them to understand how important our society thinks education is in their lives," added Miss Bloor.
"The building has a village-like feel to it which encapsulates the community spirit which is what we want at Shirebrook Academy.
"The students are really proud of their school and cannot wait to come here."
Elsewhere, the building has a sports hall with four full-size badminton courts and a 3G surface multi-sport courts outside, all of which can be accessed by a separate entrance and reception to enable members of the public to use the facilities outside school hours.
Stubbin Wood School headteacher Lee Floyd has conducted a series of tours around his school's side of the building to show parents its state-of-the-art facilities, including food technology rooms with sinks and cookers that can rise and fall to suit students in wheelchairs, a therapy suite and a hydrotherapy pool, where lights, misted water and a disco glitter-ball will be used to stimulate pupils' senses.
Stubbin Wood's pupils, all of whom have a wide range of severe and complex learning and physical disabilities, will move into their new home one week after their Academy counterparts.
Their current school, which was built in the 1960s and is badly dated, will be demolished, although the school's nursery unit, which is based in another building, will remain.
The building was designed by Sheffield architects Bond Bryan and was built by Derbyshire-based contractors Bowmer and Kirkland.

I feel so daft that I can't tell you how I feel
When you're around my mood does a 360,
from sad to happy as can be,
but when you're gone and I'm all alone.
All I want is you back with me.
I feel electrified when you walk by,
and your smile is all I can see.
But when you're gone and i'm all alone.
You are the only person I want with me.
I feel so daft that you can't see,
exactly how I feel,
but if we were together and you were with me,
everything would be surreal.
But some day soon,
I hope and pray,
that you'll come and stay with me.
And with you there and my arm wrapped around you,
I'll forever feel happy.

Nikolas Stauskas commits to Michigan
March, 28, 2011
By Adam Finkelstein, ESPN Recruiting
If you ever doubted the impact March Madness has on recruiting, just look at Michigan, which picked up two commitments this weekend -- less than a week after its postseason run came to an end with a near upset over defending national champion Duke. On Friday, senior big man Max Bielfeldt (Peoria, Ill./Notre Dame) picked the Wolverines. A day later Nikolas Stauskas, a six-foot-five junior swingman from St. Mark's School in Mass., followed suit. "When I saw them take it down to the last second against Duke I really saw how coach [John] Beilein works his system and how they like to play offense," he said. "I watched that game with my dad and we were both in agreement that I couldn't find a better system."

Politics of Thursday, 10 January 2013
Source: DAILY SEARCHLIGHT
The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has congratulated President John Dramani Mahama on his assumption onto the highest office in the country with a call on him to employ all inclusive governance to ensure unity among the people of Ghana.
According to NUGS it is an open secret that the country is much more divided on partisanship than national cohesion after the 2012 general elections and therefore admonished the President to concentrate more on uniting the country. A release issued by the Coordinating Secretary of NUGS, Comrade Naziru Iddriss, said the union being the official mouth piece of students in Ghana "will be on high expectation of the government commitment to educational issues such as the removal of schools under trees, ensuring free compulsory universal basic education and improving access to education etc".
The statement noted that the country has gone past the period of partisan politics and this is the time to continue the journey as a nation. "NUGS urge country's legislators to work with sense of common purpose and togetherness in carrying out their constitutional mandate of an over sight responsibility and any other duties without fear or favour for the benefit of their constituents and mother Ghana at large despite their political differences" the statement advised.
It further said it has noticed the concerns of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the legal issues surrounding the outcome of the 2012 election adding "notwithstanding the legal issues we appeal to all political parties and citizens to come together in promoting the interest of mother Ghana."

Carrie Underwood's Dad Cleaned Shotguns in Front of Her First Date
It's a cultural rite of passage for most young men entering the dating scene to have a little fear of their date's father, and most guys have likely experienced the "What are your intentions with my daughter?" encounter when meeting a protective pop for the first time. Carrie Underwood's dad took things to the extreme when her first date showed up.
In a recent chat with WSOC in which she discusses her first date ever, the newly-married Underwood — who is wed to hockey player Mike Fisher — reveals that her dad elected to clean his shotguns when her date arrived.
"I was 16 and I was going out on a date with a guy that was a bit older and he might have been 18," Underwood recounts. "He came in, and my dad actually had gotten out his shotguns earlier to start cleaning them. I don't know why he decided to clean them right before my first date, but he did. Mom made him put them up, though."
The date was all downhill from there – perhaps because Pa Underwood put the fear of God in this young man?
Underwood continues, "He didn't put much thought into it. We just went to the mall and we were going to watch a movie, but I was 16 and couldn't get into rated-R movies. We ended up watching this horrible movie and we left halfway through and he took me home and that was that. It was not a great first dating experience."
Something tells us it was a wee bit worse for her date.

Find your face shape with these tips from BellaSugar!
In the beauty world, your face shape can determine many things, from your next haircut to your makeup tactics. Finding the correct type is a simple equation of proportions. While the most common shape is oval, others include round, square, triangle, diamond, and heart. Want to find out what category you fall into? Grab a mirror and follow these simple steps to find out:
Step 1: What's the widest part of your face?
•All things equal: If the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are equal, then you could have a square, round, or oval face. Skip to step two to get more insight.
• Forehead: When the forehead is widest and the face gently tapers down to the chin, then your face falls into the heart-shape category. This is also known as the inverted-triangle shape.
• Cheekbones: You have a diamond face shape if your cheekbones are the widest area on your face.
• Jaw: The jaw is the widest part on most triangular (aka pear) face shapes.
Step 2: What's the shape of your jaw?
• Round: Round and oval face shapes have a slightly rounded jaw.
• Square: If you have a strong jaw, then you could have a square face shape. Your chin may still come to a point, but the angle will be more gradual or flat. But keep in mind: Diamond and triangle face shapes can also appear to have a square jaw.
• Pointy: When the chin comes to a distinct point, you can file your face shape under the heart category.
Step 3: What's the length of your face?
• Average: Most face shapes are a little bit longer than they are wide. For example, draw an imaginary line just below the eyes (horizontally from ear to ear) and another line vertically (through the nose from the top of your forehead down to your chin). You should discover a cross shape with a ratio of about one (width) to one and a half (length). This length coincides with most face shapes.
• Short: If your cross has a one-to-one ratio, then your face has more of a round shape.
• Long: You have an oblong shape if your face has a longer lower half. Note: All face shapes (except for round, oblong's polar opposite) may fall into the oblong category, depending on your measurements. An oblong square face shape, for instance, is considered a rectangle.

Since the fall of 2003 the city, through Neighborhood Services, has offered its residents biannual Leadership College classes. Leadership College is a free nine-week course for citizens to learn how their city works – who does what and whom to call when something needs fixing. It takes a lot of time and people to keep a city vibrant, clean and safe.
It teaches citizens "how to access city services and become a resource for others within their community circles," said Bob Clement, the Neighborhood Services Coordinator.
Now the city, in partnership with the Virginia Cooperative Extension, is taking it one step further with the Innovative Leadership Program. The $65 program is offered at no charge to Leadership College graduates.
It all started at the 2010 Statewide Neighborhood Conference held in Roanoke. Dr. Martha Walker, Community Viability Specialist with VCE, held a workshop that inspired Steven Niamke of the Melrose-Rugby neighborhood, to lobby for the program in Roanoke.
Clement was already looking for a way to take Leadership College to the next level.
Last Thursday was a "train the trainer" class for seven individuals. "The individuals selected represent a diverse group throughout the community," said Dr. Walker. They will each lead the discussion of one of six modules over six-weeks starting February 9th.
A letter was sent out to all 469 Leadership College graduates on January 3rd and the 25 seats in the class filled up in a week. There are nine more on a waiting list as of Thursday. "I will have enough people waitlisted from this program to fill the next one; this shows how people in Roanoke want to be engaged," said Clement.
The program "teaches the language and process of leadership," explained Dr. Walker. It teaches participants how to network with each other and discover new facts about their community. They then can identify ways to improve or fill the gaps.
"It prepares every community to be well positioned for economic development; it strengthens that community foundation," said Dr. Walker.
From Clement's perspective, the Innovative Leadership Program coupled with the city's Leadership College classes, "prepares an individual to become literally a leader in any endeavor they decide to go into – a neighborhood group, a nonprofit organization, a business or even as an elected official."
"It's more about the nuts and bolts of how a leader leads," said Braxton Naff, a member of Roanoke Neighborhood Advocates.
Dr. Walker said, "There is no one option – there has to be multiple ways to develop individuals."
The program includes a project participants will complete. It will start with a community assessment review that will identify a gap in the community. They will then research ways to fill the gap by analyzing the accumulated data. Dr. Walker gave examples of past projects – one filled the need for a reading program for disadvantaged children; another was a search for retail outlets where none existed before.
Guests from the city will be invited to hear their presentations. "All stakeholders are not going to be for you," Dr. Walker will tell them, "they'll learn how to work with those who oppose them." One stakeholder may be entirely open to new ideas while another may be resistant to change. The latter may require the team to be more assertive. The participants will know how to approach the stakeholder differently on a second try.
Naff added that after completion of the program the teams could then identify on their own who in the community can implement it. The program's methods will give them the knowledge, confidence and patience they will need as they present their ideas to diverse stakeholders.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2013/10/23 - The latest version of Knexus Platform reveals significant improvements & new features designed to help brands make their content work harder online and drive more profitable customer engagement - KnexusGroup.com.
Knexus has released the latest version of its Content Engagement Platform, with significant improvements & new features designed to help brands make their content work harder online and drive more profitable customer engagement.
In addition to its core capabilities of holding content assets in the Cloud & distributing quickly & easily across owned, earned & paid media, Knexus Platform includes a number of plug-in modules. These modules provide a flexible way for companies to add new capabilities & configure the Platform according to their needs. There are four in total, and according to Knexus, the Channels module makes it fast & easy for marketers to launch & manage their own content channels or hubs, without IT input. In the new version theres a focus on greater flexibility, so that marketers can create an unlimited number of pages, up to 10 main navigation tabs & unlimited sub-navigation in their Hubs. The enhanced drag & drop interface is quick to understand & it is impressive to see just how quickly you can build rich content sites without IT or web development skills.
Knexus places great emphasis on helping brands create ongoing conversations with customers online. In this version, theyve extended the ability to create conversations whenever & wherever brands engage customers online, by including ask a question and share an opinion features around any HTML content displayed in a Channel or Hub. Commenting on this improved feature, Knexus Director of Client Experience Sherlyn Lee said By enabling online conversations for customers, our clients are able to increase trust & credibility, leverage advocacy and ultimately increase willingness to purchase.
Knexus Platform now also includes improved integrated data capture that enables event registration & lead generation. Brands can now capture user data on a Channel or Hub, and either hold that data within Knexus, or seamlessly interfacing to an existing event management, CRM or marketing automation system.
A particular strength in earlier version of Knexus Platform has been how it helps brands harness different types of content to drive customer engagement. In this new release, Knexus has optimized the content moderation functionality as well as improved the upload and approval workflow of Brand Content and UGC (user generated content). Brands can now enable their customers or staff to upload content and decide whether or not to moderate the content before publishing. In addition, marketers using the management Console can now have either permission to push content to live directly or await a further approval before doing so. This feature is useful especially for regulated industries like Financial Services & Healthcare, where compliance is integral to any online publishing or engagement process.
One final change worth highlighting. When using the last version, there was a concern about whether the options to review before putting content live were robust enough. Knexus had focused its approach on speed of delivery, perhaps at the expense of perceived risks. In this new version there is a much more robust staging environment for both the Channels & Secure Hub plug in modules. All pages created or changes made to a Channel can now be reviewed in full and approved before going live. This enhanced review process works well and should give marketers additional peace of mind whilst further eliminating any risk of error.

PORT RICHEY — The referendum is off.
Joined by a new council member who campaigned on keeping the city intact, City Council voted 3-2 Tuesday night to repeal the controversial ordinance for a referendum on dissolving the city.
Bill Colombo, who was elected two weeks ago, joined Mayor Richard Rober and council member Steven O'Neil in repealing the ordinance.
Council members Perry Bean and Phil Abts voted in the minority to press forward with the referendum.
After the vote, Abts made a brief statement from the council dais before walking out of City Hall.
"I will exit this council meeting to protest that vote," Abts said to his fellow council members and about a dozen residents. "You are taking the people's vote away. I do not feel that is proper."
Bean also disagreed with the timing: He said the council should have scheduled a special meeting on the ordinance later this week, so there would be time to notify residents and get their input.
"There wouldn't have been any harm in giving the considerable number of citizens who brought the issue to this point the opportunity to speak," Bean said. "By not giving them that opportunity, we are fanning the flames."
Three residents filed a legal challenge earlier this month about the ordinance that set up the referendum.
The writ of certiorari, filed April 9 by former council members Dale Massad, Jim Priest and resident Ed Ostrand, said the ordinance lacked a detailed plan on how to deal with the city's debt and employees if voters decided to dissolve the city. Former Mayor Eloise Taylor prepared the document, which said the city had not met all conditions required by state law.
Circuit Judge Stanley Mills ordered the city on April 17 to show cause as to why he shouldn't consider the referendum invalid. City Attorney Michael Brannigan, who drafted the ordinance, said he was prepared to defend it.
The council held an hour-long executive session on the legal challenge earlier Tuesday evening. But with the ordinance repealed, the court battle has become a moot point.

We love our Macs but Mac Expo doesn't love Green my Apple
After a very small trial run yesterday at the Regent Street's Apple store the Green my Apple team took the message to London's big annual Mac shindig –Mac Expo.
We had our official stall explaining the campaign – our volunteers outside were handing out real organic green apples to spread the word outside and encourage people to stop by the stall and show their support for a better greener Apple.
Most visitors were very interested and showed support for the campaign by signing up online or writing to Steve. But it seems other exhibitors where not so happy.
Behind the scenes key exhibitors were complaining that we were spreading the message for a greener Apple. On request of said mystery exhibitor(s) (any guesses?) we were told to stop handing out leaflets beyond our stall. We did that but again mystery exhibitors and according to security couple of visitors continued to complain about our friendly presence. It seems that the message of a Greener Apple is not welcome by some powerful forces at Mac Expo.
Of course I don't know for sure which exhibitors complained or any of their grounds for complaint. But you do have to ask why the giving away of a free organic apple and politely engaging with Apple users who are interested in improving Apple's environmental performance is grounds to have security close our stand we had paid for in the Expo and force us to leave the premises?
So we were only allowed in Mac Expo for four and a half hours - but just removing us from an Expo doesn't change the fact that many Mac users want a Green Apple. Cupertino, are you listening?
More images of the days events can be found on Flickr.
UPDATE 27/10/2006: Green my Apple returns to Mac Expo »

Look, I agree with what you are trying to do but do you realise the chemicals you guys are having a bitch about is what prevents fire if machines start sparking? And with Sony's big battery hullabaloo EVERY manufacturer's laptops are going up in smoke and the reason there hasn't been one serious injury yet is because the user has had sufficient time created by these flame retardants to get the laptop off the lap or outside where no damage can be done.
Rather than bitching about Apple creating products to INDUSTRY STANDARDS how bout you chuck that research money into finding an ALTERNATIVE to brominated flame retardants, else harpoon the Japanese for the whole whaling issue.

@james: I think it's about getting Apple to do things better than they are doing now. And it seems it could be done better, like HP or Samsung are showing. However, because of the popularity of Apple they are the perferct pray to make the issue more public and get things going.

Look at lovely picture of a bunch of Greenpeace nuts. You guys are nothing but terrorists and what you do does nothing but harm.

Yes, a better alternative to brominated flame retardants is the right kind of solution, but why should Greenpeace be the one cleaning up Apple's toxic production practices? That's Apple's job.
Just because the rest of the industry puts toxic chemicals into their products, and just because the toxic chemicals serve a useful purpose today, doesn't make them acceptable, or less toxic!

It's not just brominated flame retardants that Greenpeace are warning the public about, there are many other chemicals and heavy metals that are found in these laptops and computers that could harm users. Besides, Greenpeace is not a chemical manufacturer, so they could not possibly spend any of their supporters' money in developing safer alternatives to BFRs. Greenpeace exists to educate the public on environmental issues.

I was deeply disappointed by your activities at MacExpo (I have no connection with Apple btw) and feel that your energies would be far better spent jousting at other targets. Here's one -- why not go in hard and get UKGov to mandate solar and other green energy solutions into all property new-builds? It would kick-start a revolution in UK energy usage and bring down unit costs dramatically.

Wow, James, I completely agree. Greenpeace, and all involved-your ideas are great, and your friendly methods are the way to go but it is imperative that you find a solution that will cost the same to produce, or Apple will never consider it.
And unless you come up with a solution, all Apple sees you doing is making a big deal out of something and convincing people not to buy their products.
They don't want that kind of publicity at a pro-Mac expo, that's like having a Zune booth at a Mac expo-it's not going to work, sorry.
And the other completely valid point that our friend James here has is that the laptops will set on fire otherwise. Yet another huge reason why this will not work until you offer Apple a solution that has identical or lower costs and will not require expensive equiptment in the factory, and is easy to replace.
Are you going to go all-out on other computer companies as well? I find it quite offensive actually that you would just pick on Apple when there are other companies out there doing the same thing.
Regardless, I understand this is but a drop in a bucket to you guys, and the probability that you would read and respond to it even lower. If you were to, it may change my opinion, but it seems you need to change your organizational skills a bit-again, while your motives and ideals may be tried and true, your follow-through is desperately lacking in the same thought and logic that your other aspects carry.

Thankyou for doing your bit to raise awareness of the issue.
Please update your protest site to indicate the alternatives to the chemicals being used (or the process that requires them) and indicate what quantities are used in the manufacture of devices from Apple and other manufacturers. This will allow visitors to your protest site to - dare I say it - compare apples with apples.
There's hype and spin, then there's agitative sensationalism. Your protest site provides no facts, and most people buying Macs are intelligent enough to form their own opinions when presented with the facts.
Sorry to hear that your stall got closed.

A couple of points:
1. Wouldn't it better if battery manufacturers fixed the underlying problem?
2. The campaign is not just about BFRs, but includes PVC and the broader issue of the product life-span. Perhaps its relevant here to note the awarding of a "shonky" award to the iPod (http://www.choice.com.au/viewArticle.aspx?id=105458&catId=100285&tid=100008&p=1&title=The+CHOICE+2006+Shonky+Awards)
3. There are alternatives to BFRs
4. It is not too wise to threaten to harpoon an entire society.

A Bradford school hopes to lead the way in improving relations between the city's diverse religious communities when it hosts an exhibition about tragic Jewish teenager Anne Frank.
Grange Technology College will be the first school in Bradford to host the touring exhibition by the Anne Frank Trust next month, and other schools have been invited.
With many children at the school being from a Muslim background, as well as a high immigrant community, staff at the school felt the exhibition would be a good way to increase understanding between different faiths and cultures.
The teenage girl is famous for her diary, which documents her time hiding in rooms in an Amsterdam house to avoid capture by the Nazis.
Her family was eventually found out, and she died aged 15 in Bergen Belsen concentration camp. The diary was published after her death and has become a worldwide best seller.
Coming to the school on Monday, March 3, the exhibition highlights Anne Frank's story and the history of the Holocaust. Students are also taught about themes like prejudice, diversity and human rights – with several being trained as "ambassadors" who can spread the messages learned during the two-week exhibition.
The Anne Frank Trust says the exhibition can show the dangers of when different communities and religions fail to integrate.
Grange religious studies teacher Mohammed Zakir, said: "We have a very diverse community at Grange and we thought we needed to look at ways of celebrating these differences.
"We thought that the story of Anne Frank was a good way to spread that message.
"We have a few primary schools coming in during the exhibition, and it is proving to be very popular. We have already had to turn a few schools away because it is so popular."

Comments about special cleansing gel:
Great for sensitive skin!
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I have been using this product for years, it doesn't strip your skin and is perfect for daily use without over drying your skin. I have sensitive skin and when I use the medibac face wash, often times its too strong. I haven't figured out a great acne solution for that time of the month, but this is still my daily face wash. It also works great with pre cleanse prior.
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I have combination/dry skin, my skin is also sensitive and I use this product about 3 times a week, I use the ultra calming cleanser in between. The special cleansing gel is an excellent cleanser followed by a toner and moisturiser. If you have combination/dry sensitive skin like me then I would say to use this a few times a week and use the ultra calming one in between because it could dry your skin out/become too harsh for every day use.
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I've been using this product everyday after finding out that my previous salicylic acid face wash was drying out my skin and actually making my clogged pores worse - and my skin has mainly cleared up since I've started using it. My face also never feels overstretched after using this - a definite plus!
Comments about special cleansing gel:
So many things come to mind - it is gentle yet effective, a little goes a long way and my face feels amazing when used with my other dermalogica products!
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I use this product twice a day and it works well. It is easy on skin and not harsh. It takes off my make-up really well, too.
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I have very sensitive skin. This is the only product line that makes my skin feel youthful, gives me that pregnant glow, and is sensitive friendly. I look forward to trying this line one by one!
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I usually damp my face. Put few drops on my palms and rub on the face. Little goes a long way. Got introduced to this at the spa in Lagos, Nigeria. The consultant gave me samples to try out and since then I started buying
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I ordered the travel size because I wanted to make sure it worked well with my skin and the full size is also a bit pricey. I am happy with this face wash! It really has no odor and it lathers on very well. I know my skin is very clean after using it and it does not feel stripped and dry after use.
Comments about special cleansing gel:
I love this product. Smell so good! It's not a synthetic fragrance, but lavender is just...! A very small amount is necessary for all over the face. After the cleanse, my sensitive (and reactive) skin is fresh, (not dry). The only negative thing about this product is... parabens.

A:I am fair and freckled and have red undertones in my skin. I found the scent of the ultra calming to be too strong. I think to try the cleansing gel and move on to something else if that does not work. Best wishes.
Q:Which would work best for me? Cleansing or clearing facial wash?: I want a new product to use for washing my face as im sick of my breakouts. They seem sometimes odd whiteheads, and then monthly huge breakouts. obviously my face is red on the affected areas, also my nose and chin are always oily. my face isnt dry as such. But im worried if i get the clearing gel it will take to much out my skin. which should i buy? Does the cleansing one actually work against spots?
3 answers
A:The clearing wash I find too harsh for daily use. When I start a breakout I'll use it once and that will help. You have, from your description, combination skin. I got a sample size and rarely use it, so based on that I think sticking with the cleansing is a good idea.
A:I've been using the cleansing gel for years and never experienced any issues with drying out or ineffective cleaning. After doing a similar comparison between cleansing and clearing facial washes, I found the cleansing gel far superior and have not considered switching once.

I have enjoyed aplets and cotlets for years. I found a 4 oz boxes of Berry Assortment and Orchard Assortment Sparklers and decided to try them. As for the Berry Assortment, the strawberry and raspberry are the better of the four flavors! The Blackberry had almost no blackberry flavor at all! it was just sweet, and the blueberry was the same, but had a slight blueberry hint at the end. The Orchard Assortment the Cherry was a disappointment. It was not very cherry at all I tasted the sweet and that was all. The pear, apple and Peach were awesome! I know there are times that things are hit and miss but, I still love the brand and what it delivers! I would like to see some improvement with the flavors I mentioned, as I enjoy these fruit flavors and would love to have Liberty Orchards make these stand out like the other flavors you produce! Keep up the great flavors and I'll keep buying them! Thank you!

U.S. Economy Expanding
Do you see the economy headed in a positive direction?
Good news on the manufacturing front: The American Chemistry Council's (ACC) recently released Chemical Activity Barometer (CAB)reports that the U.S. economy is slowly expanding. The ACC reported an increase of 0.6% over January on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis. The year-over-year 3MMA showed a 2.9% gain over February 2012.
"The increase in chemical industry activity continues to be a good sign for the overall health of the economy," said Kevin Swift, Ph.D., chief economist at the ACC. "But uncertainty is still present and the impending sequester is likely to stifle growth slightly for the remainder of the year. The bright spots continue to be increasing activity in construction-related coatings, pigments, and plastic resins, all suggesting a continuing recovery in the housing market. Likewise, plastic resins used in consumer and institutional applications are growing faster, hinting at stronger consumer confidence."
Reflecting the findings of the CAB, a recently published survey by the National Association for Business Economists (NABE) found that more than 95% of the forecasters surveyed believe that growth in real GDP in 2013 is likely to be negatively affected by uncertainty surrounding the U.S. fiscal imbalances and issues linked to the continuing resolution, sequestration, and the debt ceiling. Survey participants also reportedly expect that real personal consumption expenditures will continue last year's 1.9% growth rate in 2013 and then accelerate to 2.5% growth in 2014. Panelists also suggested strong growth in residential investment, housing starts, and home prices.

Sacha Baron Cohen has purchased a new family home in Los Angeles' Lauren Canyon district.
The comic actor and his wife Isla Fisher have put their current home on the market because they are tired of tourists, fans and photographers waiting outside their home everyday.
An insider reveals, "You can look out of the bedroom window and see fans waiting there, right on the street. Sacha and Isla decided it was time to move up, particularly as their family is expanding."
The new mansion is worth around $19 million, with seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a guest house, a swimming pool, cinema, spa and gym.
The new place sounds like it will be plenty of room for their two-year-old daughter Olive to run around in. Isla's due date is unknown but it looks like the baby will be arriving very soon.
