The TARDIS jerked and shook as it flew through the time vortex. Lilith, as always, was having the time of her life despite the shaky issue with the ship.
"Hold that one down!" the Doctor yelled at Rose.
"I'm holding this one down!" she protested.
"Well, hold them both down!" Lilith shouted.
Rose tried to stretch across half the console. "It's not going to work!"
"Oi! I promised you a time machine and that's what you're getting!" the Doctor snapped. "Now, you've seen the future, let's have a look at the past. 1860. How does 1860 sound?"
"What happened in 1860?" Rose asked.
"Beats me," Lilith beamed. "Let's find out. Hold on, here we go!" She yanked down a lever and the Doctor set the coordinates. The ship whipped through the vortex towards their destination. As the TARDIS materialized, it gave one last jolt, throwing the Doctor, Rose, and Lilith to the floor.
They broke into laughter. "Blimey!" Rose choked out, getting up.
"Seriously, no kidding." Lilith chuckled. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah. I think so. Nothing broken. Did we make it? Where are we?"
The Doctor checked the monitor. "I did it. Give the man a medal," he said happily. "Earth, Naples, December 24th, 1860."
"That's so weird." Rose said, and then smiled. "It's Christmas."
"All yours." The Doctor gestured towards the door.
Rose turned back to look at the Doctor. "But, it's like, think about it, though. Christmas. 1860. Happens once, just once and it's gone, it's finished, it'll never happen again. Except for you two." (The Doctor looked extraordinarily smug.) "You can go back and see days that are dead and gone a hundred thousand sunsets ago. No wonder you never stay still."
"Not a bad life, we have," the Doctor said softly.
Rose grinned. "Better with three. Come on, then." She dashed towards the door.
"Oi, oi, oi," he called after her. "Where do you think you're going?"
"1860." Rose said.
Lilith shook her head. "Not like that, you're not. Go out there dressed in a sweatshirt, you'll start a riot. Where'd she move the wardrobe room?" She directed the last question to her uncle.
"Through there," the Doctor said, pointing towards the corridor. "First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins, fifth door on your left. Hurry up!"
Lilith grabbed Rose's wrist and dashed in that direction.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked as they ran under the stairs.
"Rose Tyler," Lilith said when they arrived at the fifth door, "welcome to the Wardrobe." She dramatically pushed open the door.
Rose stepped into the room in awe. It was as vast as the console room, if not bigger, with the same organic design, but it was filled with racks upon racks of clothes from every era Rose could think of, and then some. "Blimey!" she breathed.
Lilith grinned. "Better than your average closet, huh, Tyler?"
"You're telling me." Rose said, still looking around.
"The TARDIS probably already chose something for you. Ah, here we are." Lilith came out from the maze of outfits and handed Rose a pile of clothes.
"What about you?"
"A dress is a dress, no matter what planet or time you're in." Lilith motioned to her outfit. It was exactly the same that she had been wearing on Platform One, just violet instead of a bright orange. Looking down at herself, she grabbed a brown-checkered cloak and tied it around her shoulders with a green bow. "There. Now I'm dressed for the weather." She looked back over at Rose and grinned. "Someone looks amazing."
Rose smiled. "Love the cloak. Very Sherlock Holmes."
Lilith pretended to tip her hat at her friend. "Much thanks, Watson." The two girls laughed all the way back to the console room.
The Doctor looked up from where he was tinkering with the console and his jaw dropped when his eyes landed on Rose. "Blimey!" he gasped.
"Don't laugh." Rose giggled.
"You look beautiful," he said. Rose grinned at him shyly and Lilith beamed behind her hand before he continued, "Considering."
"Considering what?"
"That you're human."
Lilith face palmed. 'Wimp. She looks gorgeous and you know it.'
'Doesn't change the fact she's human.'
'Doesn't change the fact you're a coward.'
"I think that's a compliment." Rose frowned. "Aren't you going to change?"
"I've changed my jumper. Come on." The Doctor pulled himself up.
Rose poked him with her umbrella. "You stay there," she said and swung it to point at Lilith. "You've done this before. This is mine." She opened the door and steped gingerly out into the fallen snow.
The Doctor followed and Lilith closed the door to the TARDIS behind them. "Ready for this?" he asked, offering Rose his arm, which she accepted. Lilith threaded her arm through Rose's other one. "Here we go. History."
The Doctor, Rose, and Lilith walked down a street while a choir sang 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'. They moved on across the street where the Doctor bought a newspaper. "We got the flight a bit wrong."
"I don't care." Rose said.
"It's not 1860, it's 1869."
"I don't care."
"And it's not Naples."
"She doesn't care."
"It's Cardiff."
There we go. That stopped Rose in her tracks. "Right."
"Hey, don't diss it." Lilith said, trying to lighten the mood. "Great things will happen one day in Cardiff. You'll see."
"Well, that's one way of looking at it." Rose shrugged.
A scream pierced the air.
The Doctor grinned at his two companions. "Now that's more like it!" He tossed the paper behind them and the three took off running.
The scream had come from a theater. They pushed their way through the fleeing crowd, fighting back the scared audience, and into the auditorium. A blue gas entity was swirling around an old lady and flying around the room. "Fantastic!" The Doctor and Lilith continued to push themselves towards the stage as the lady collapsed.
"Did you see where it came from?" the Doctor asked the man on the stage.
"Ah, the wag reveals himself, does he?" the man snapped. "I trust you're satisfied, sir!"
"What, you think we did this?" Lilith demanded.
Back in the audience, a man and a young woman picked up the body of the old lady.
"Oi! Leave her alone! Lil, I'll get them!" Rose shouted.
"Be careful!" Lilith shouted back as the Doctor continued to interrogate the man in from of them.
"Did it say anything? Can it speak? I'm the Doctor, by the way, this is Lilith Smith."
"Doctor? You look more like a navy."
"What's wrong with this jumper?" the Doctor demanded.
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Do you have to ask?"
The blue entity did one last circle around the auditorium and disappeared into one of the lanterns. "Gas!" the Doctor exclaimed. "It's made of gas."
'HELP!' Lilith thought she heard someone scream.
The Doctor turned to Lilith. "Where did Rose go?"
"Out to follow the man and girl who took the host."
He dashed out of the auditorium. Lilith gave the stranger an apologetic look before following the Doctor, with the man on her heels. "Rose!" the Doctor shouted.
"What's wrong?" Lilith asked.
"She's been kidnapped."
"You're not escaping me, sir!" the man insisted. "What do you know about that hobgoblin, hmm? Projection on glass, I suppose. Who put you up to it?"
"Yeah, mate. Not now, thanks. Oi, you! Follow that hearse!" The Doctor ducked into a nearby carriage.
"I can't do that, sir," said the driver.
"Why not?"
The man stormed up to the carriage. "I'll tell you why not. I'll give you a very good reason why not. Because this is my coach."
"Well, get in, then. Move!"
The man got into the carriage and Lilith climbed up behind him. The driver cracked the whip and the carriage moved down the street.
"Come on, you're losing them."
"Everything in order, Mister Dickens?" asked the driver.
Lilith's eyes widened. "Dickens?"
"Let me say this first. I'm not without a sense of humor—"
"Charles Dickens?" the Doctor gaped.
"Yes," said the man.
"The Charles Dickens?"
The driver glanced back. "Should I remove the gentleman, sir?"
"You're brilliant, you are!" the Doctor said with a wide grin. "Completely one hundred percent brilliant. I've read them all. Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and what's the other one, the one with the ghost?"
"A Christmas Carol?" Lilith offered.
"No, no, no, the one with the trains. The Signal Man, that's it. Terrifying! The best short story ever written. You're a genius."
"You want me to get rid of him, sir?" the driver asked again.
"Er, no, I think he can stay." Dickens said.
The Doctor continued on, mad grin locked on his face. "Honestly, Charles. Can I call you Charles? I'm such a big fan."
"A what? A big what?"
"Fan." the Doctor repeated. "Number one fan, that's me."
"How exactly are you a fan?" Charles Dickens frowned. "In what way do you resemble a means of keeping oneself cool?"
"It means fanatic, devoted to," Lilith explained. "I've got to say, though, that American bit in Martin Chuzzlewit. What's that about? Was that just padding or what? I mean, did you have to put in that bit?"
"I thought you said you were my fan."
"Ah, well, if you can't take criticism." Lilith shrugged. "Forget about that. Come on, faster!" she yelled at the driver.
"Who exactly is in that hearse?" Dickens asked.
"Our friend," the Doctor answered. "She's only nineteen. It's my fault. She's in my care, and now she's in danger."
"Why are we wasting my time talking about dry old books? This is much more important. Driver, be swift! The chase is on!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Doctor knocked on the door to the funeral parlor. Lilith could hear two people having a hushed conversation on the other side before the door opened to reveal a young maid. "I'm sorry, sir. We're closed."
"Nonsense." Dickens said. "Since when did an Undertaker keep office hours? The dead don't die on schedule. I demand to see your master."
"He's not in, sir." The maid started to close the door.
Dickens slammed it open. "Don't lie to me, child! Summon him at once."
"I'm awfully sorry, Mister Dickens, but the master's indisposed."
A gas lamp behind her flared.
"Having trouble with your gas?" the Doctor noticed.
"What the Shakespeare is going on?" Dickens said quietly.
The Doctor pushed past the girl to the flaring gas lamp.
"You're not allowed inside, sir," the maid tried to protest.
"There's something inside the walls," the Doctor said. "The gas pipes. Something's living inside the gas."
"Open the door!" shouted a voice.
"That's her!" Lilith exclaimed.
"Please, please, let me out!"
The group ran down the corridor and the Doctor bumped into the man who had taken the old lady's body.
"How dare you, sir!" the man said, admonished. The Doctor and Lilith just pushed past him. "This is my house!"
"Shut up." Lilith heard Dickens say.
"Let me out! Somebody open the door! Open the door!" Rose's voice came from the other side of the door to the chapel. The Doctor kicked the door in.
"I think this is my dance," he said and pulled Rose away from a deathly pale young man.
"It's a prank. It must be. We're under some mesmeric influence." Dickens said from behind Lilith.
"No, we're not. The dead are walking. Hi."
"Hi." Rose was breathing heavily. "Who's your friend?"
"Charles Dickens." Lilith told her, happily.
Rose raised her eyebrows. "Okay. Less weird than the zombies here."
"My name's the Doctor." The Doctor addressed the zombies. "Who are you, then? What do you want?"
The male zombie replied with several voices, "Failing. Open the rift. We're dying. Trapped in this form. Cannot sustain. Help us. Argh!"
The blue gas left the mouths of the two people and the corpses collapsed.
Lilith stared to the two dead people and dimly registered that her uncle had suggested everyone go upstairs for tea. She followed; a bit numbly, desperately trying to remember anything she may possibly know about the gas creatures and why they had just tried to kill Rose.
Gwyneth was pouring everyone tea. Lilith had to do her best not to think about how much the servant girl looked like Gwen Cooper.
"First of all you drug me, then you kidnap me, and don't think I didn't feel your hands having a quick wander, you dirty old man." Rose hissed. Lilith saw the Doctor stiffen.
"I won't be spoken to like this!" the old man, Sneed, Lilith now knew, said gruffly.
"Then you stuck me in a room full of zombies! And if that ain't enough, you swan off and leave me to die!" Rose yelled. "So come on, talk!"
"It's not my fault. It's this house." Sneed insisted. "It always had a reputation. Haunted. But I never had much bother until a few months back, and then the stiffs, the er, dear departed," he corrected, seeing Dickens and Lilith's glares at him, "started getting restless."
"Tommyrot." Dickens dismissed.
"You witnessed it! Can't keep the beggars down, sir. They walk. And it's the queerest thing, but they hang on to scraps."
Gwyneth placed the Doctor's cup on the mantelpiece beside him. "Two sugars, sir, just how you like it."
Lilith frowned. 'Is she… a telepath?' she mentally asked the Doctor.
'She's human, Lilith. Humans aren't telepathic.' Was it her imagination, or did the Doctor's eyes flick towards Rose?
"…Almost walked into his own memorial service." Sneed was saying. "Just like the old lady going to your performance, sir, just as she planned."
"Morbid fancy," scoffed the author.
"Oh, Charles, you were there," the Doctor said.
"I saw nothing but an illusion."
"If you're going to deny it, don't waste my time. Just shut up," the Doctor told a taken back Dickens. "What about the gas?" he asked Sneed.
"That's new, sir," the old man said. "Never seen anything like that."
"That means it's getting stronger," Lilith said thoughtfully. "The rift's getting wider and something's sneaking through."
"What's the rift?" Rose asked.
"A weak point in time and space," the Doctor explained. "A connection between this place and another. That's the cause of ghost stories, most of the time."
Sneed nodded in understanding. "That's how I got the house so cheap. Stories going back generations." Dickens rolled his eyes and closes the door behind him as he left. "Echoes in the dark, queer songs in the air, and this feeling like a shadow passing over your soul. Mind you, truth be told, it's been good for business. Just what people expect from a gloomy old trade like mine."
Lilith, curious to his thoughts, followed the famous author.
Dickens took the lid off one of the coffins, and waved his hand in front of the dead man's face. Lilith watched from the doorway as Dickens searched the coffin.
"Checking for strings?" she asked.
"Wires, perhaps. There must be some mechanism behind this fraud," he said.
She pushed herself off the doorway. "My uncle shouldn't have told you to shut up. I'm sorry about him. But you've got one of the best minds in the world. You saw those gas creatures."
"I cannot accept that."
"Think about it. What does the human body do when it decomposes? It breaks down and produces gas. It's the perfect home for these gas things. They can slip inside and use it as a vehicle, like your driver and his coach."
"Stop it." Dickens pleaded. "Can it be that I have the world entirely wrong?"
"Not wrong," Lilith said gently, "there's just more to learn."
"I've always railed against the fantasists. Oh, I loved an illusion as much as the next man, reveled in them, but that's exactly what they were, illusions. The real world is something else. I dedicated myself to that. Injustices, the great social causes. I hoped that I was a force for good. Now you tell me that the real world is a realm of specters and jack-o'-lanterns. In which case, have I wasted my brief span here, young lady? Has it all been for nothing?"
Lilith smiled at him. "Never believe that you have wasted your life. Just take what you know and use it to live what life you have left to the fullest. My father taught me that," she said. She turned around and returned to the parlor just in time to hear the last thing she expected come out of the Doctor's mouth.
"We're going to have a séance."

Any one with an interest in anti-aging, or red wine, has heard of resveratrol. It's been touted as the premium anti-aging nutrient, and it appears to be living up to its promise.
You might think people who are into "anti-aging" want to live forever, but the reality is anti-aging is really just about living a healthy lifestyle, reducing your risk of disease, and ensuring good health for as long as you can.
Resveratrol, a phytonutrient from red wine, has been tipped as the key nutrient to take if you want to prevent disease and it appears there is truth to this idea. Recently an analysis of half a dozen clinical studies was able to show that daily resveratrol supplement has a positive effect on risk factors for chronic age related illness, such as blood pressure and blood sugar. These can set you up for heart disease and diabetes.
So, anti-aging enthusiasts who have been popping resveratrol each day might have been ahead of the curve. It seems it does indeed have important effects, and may reduce your risk of illness so you can live a healthier life after all.

Exploring Your Choices for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is a condition that affects many men in the United States and beyond. For many years now, the prescription drug Viagra has appeared to be a momentary cure for this condition. It works by allowing a man to achieve an erection during sex when he otherwise wouldn't have been able to. Viagra has become incredibly popular, and many men are trying the drug, even many of those who truly don't need it and who truly don't have erectile dysfunction.
There are alternatives to Viagra that can allow men to achieve the erections they need without having to take prescription medication. Oddly enough, the main alternative to Viagra is the cure for many other conditions: diet and exercise. Studies have shown those men who eat right and healthily, as well as those who exercise regularly, are better able to achieve an erection when they need to with their partners.
Men who eat diets high in fats not only put themselves at a greater risk of obesity, they also have a greater chance of having erectile dysfunction. Those who eat the good fats in the world like the omega-3 fatty acids that are found in many types of fish don't have the erectile dysfunction problem in as wide of numbers. Men who tend not to have erectile dysfunction also have diets rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. An alternative to Viagra is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables regularly and eat whole grains as part of your regular diet. Other good things for men to eat are foods high in zinc like tofu and pumpkin seeds. These are all good items for you to include in your diet to avoid erectile dysfunction.
Men can also work on improving their exercise routines to avoid erectile dysfunction. Men who exercise regularly with a cardiovascular fitness regimen are less likely to have erectile dysfunction. Cardio workouts help get your blood flowing and pumping and enable the blood to continue moving at a good pace throughout your day. This is true especially if you have regular, high-quality cardio workouts. Good cardio workouts to aid in the elimination of erectile dysfunction include jogging, walking, running and cycling.
Another way you can eliminate the need for Viagra is to take St. John's Wort. This is a natural herb that is sold in health food stores in tablet form. St. John's Wort is frequently used to enhance a person's mental health, but it works by increasing the blood and oxygen flow to the brain. This is a good way to improve your erectile dysfunction condition. The active ingredient in St. John's Wort is Ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo biloba will increase the blood flow in the most miniscule parts of your body within the most miniscule parts of your blood vessels. This can aid with many body functions and circulation, including erectile dysfunction.
Improved circulation is an important way to put an end to erectile dysfunction. Anything you can do to increase the flow of your blood throughout the body will help with your erectile dysfunction. Massages, for example, have long been known to improve circulation in parts of your body that are tense. Your back, knees, and shoulders are traditional places on the body at which blood flow can be reduced. With a regular massage, you can increase the blood flow not only to these locations on the body but to everywhere blood flows. You can use these choices for your erectile dysfunction, so you don't have to take Viagra. There is nothing wrong with taking Viagra with the approval of your physician. But if you are looking for choices to improve your erectile dysfunction during sex, there are plenty of avenues you can take.

St. Michael's School is situated on a three-acre campus in east-central Tucson. A true marriage of old and new, the school encompasses 21 classrooms built around four traditional Spanish courtyards ornamented with fountains and native plantings.
Famed Swiss-born architect Josias T. Joesler designed the original church and rectory in a Pueblo Revival style, relying entirely on mud-adobe and timber construction. Over the years, a number of improvements and expansions—carefully adapted to Joesler's original vision—have been made to the physical plant to accommodate the School's growing enrollment. The additions of dedicated spaces for fine arts, music, science, and technology, are just some of the recent facility improvements. Other features of our remarkable campus include:
- a high-tech computer lab with 19 work stations, color printing, and Web access
- wireless and/or desktop Internet access in every classroom
- a multi-purpose student center/gymnasium, anchored by four giant cisterns which harvest 54,400 gallons of water annually for the campus's beautiful xeriscape landscaping
- energy generating solar panels over much of the roofs and parking areas, contributing to more efficient use of resources, and financial savings
- a wetlands area for scientific observation, artistic inspiration, and quiet reflection
- state of the art SmartBoard technology in all classrooms that allows teachers to integrate web/media based learning for an enhanced curriculum
- 1:1 iPads in 4th – 8th grade and iPads in all K-3 classrooms which are used daily as developmentally appropriate tools for teaching and learning.
For many, however, the heart and soul of the school is still our beautiful chapel, where light filtering through majestic stained-glass windows and grandiose tones echoing from our Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ bestow peace and wonderment on young worshippers.

A growth is expected.
Assumingly, a correction of the senior level within wave B of (2) in the shape of an irregular flat with a diagonal in wave c of B has finished forming. Locally, a starting wave i of (i) of the junior level seemed to have formed. If the assumption is correct, the pair will grow within wave C of (2).
Trading tips
Buy the pair above the level of 1.5100 with targets at 1.5600, 1.5800.
Alternative scenario
The breakdown and consolidation below the level of 1.5100 would allow the pair to fall to 1.4900, 1.4800.

Axel Witsel insists snubbing Juventus for Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian was "a lifestyle choice".
The Belgian midfielder had agreed a move to the Bianconeri last summer, but Zenit St Petersburg pulled the plug on transfer deadline day.
General manager Giuseppe Marotta believed that the Scudetto holders would complete the deal either this month or in the summer, but Witsel has now moved to China for a €20m fee and wages of €18m per year.
"There was the same controversy when I chose Zenit," Witsel shrugged, speaking to HLN.
"People can write or say what they want, I'm used to being under the spotlight. This was also a lifestyle choice, I'm sure this will be an enriching experience for both me and my family.
"One day my children will be able to say that they've lived in both China and Russia."

Project to highlight threats, conservation opportunities at the Philippines Danajon Bank
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — Online crowdfunding will be a big part of a new international effort to draw attention to a rare double-barrier reef in the Philippines, where an international team of scientists and nature photographers will team up to advocate for legal protection for the Danajon Bank.
"Not many people have heard of Danajon Bank. We plan to change that," said Prof. Amanda Vincent, director of Project Seahorse, a University of British Columbia Zoological Society of London initiative. "Crowdfunding is a fantastic way to raise funds and inspire the public to take ownership of issues such as marine conservation, so we thought: why not start there?" she said.

Review: 'The Hunger Games' is Fine Sci-Fi That Could've Been Better
by Jeremy Kirk
March 23, 2012
The "it could have been better" argument works for and against the film begin discussed. On one hand, the film, the case here being The Hunger Games, works to a certain point, but, on the other hand, you can't help but wonder what more could have been pulled from the material. We're not asking for a three-hour adaptation of Suzanne Collins' first of three novels. However, the two-and-a-half-hour version we do get doesn't use the time it has to the best of its potential. Once the titular Game kicks in, the possibilities of its first act slip into routine, survival action. It's never boring or tedious, but something important is missing.
As with Collins' novel - the author co-wrote the screenplay here along with Billy Ray and director Gary Ross - The Hunger Games is set in a futuristic society where civil war has led to a dictatorship ruling over 12 districts. Every year, the people of these districts send one boy and one girl, aged between 12 and 18, to partake in The Hunger Games. Acting as tribute for the districts' uprising that resulted in the war, these 12 boys and 12 girls fight in a vast arena, weapons strewn throughout the field for their use, until one remains alive. The Games are televised to the nation, public executions acted on descendants of age-old treason that serve as control over another possible rebellion.
At the center of this story is Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, the girl from District 12 who volunteers herself after her beloved 12-year-old sister Prim is selected. Katniss and Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutcherson, travel from their home to the arena in hopes of fame, status, and, most importantly, their own survival.
Ross' film does a fine job building the characters - those outside of the competition, anyway - the setting, and the Games themselves in the first half. The 24 teenagers don't enter the arena until somewhere on the outside of the halfway mark. The training, pageantry, and social appearance provide a focus to what really goes on behind the scenes here, and all of it is endlessly fascinating. So, too, are the cast of characters the kids come in contact with before they're forced to fight for their lives. Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, a past winner of the Games, mentor to the new kids from District 12, and fan of the drink; Elizabeth Banks as the Kabuki, ball gown-wearing escort, Effie Trinket; and Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, the host to the TV audience who's all capped teeth and hyperbole. All colorful characters backed by glowing performances.
But, as interesting as those characters are, there isn't enough time given to the other 22 "Tributes" Katniss and Peeta will be fighting against. In the time we spend leading up to the Games, we learn the names of only a few of these other kids. Faces become familiar here and there, and it becomes easier to define someone by what District they represent, but fully fleshed out characters aren't of interest. Collins, Ray, and Ross, instead, seem more interested in the film's leads and the authoritarian faces behind the competition and the Capitol's control over its people. That's enough for a time. The timeliness with which this level of 1-versus-99 comes up couldn't be more palpable, and, for roughly 90 minutes, Hunger Games transcends its B-movie, sci-fi premise.
Then the Games begin. Much appreciation has to go Ross' way for the way he handles the violence in The Hunger Games, that of kids killing kids in brutal manners. It's something that could have easily been in-your-face graphic, an R-rated actioner that pushes the boundaries of that, particular rating. But The Hunger Games, based on a very successful novel, is being looked at as a franchise starter, something that requires a PG-13 these days. Ross handles that superbly, as well. His camera never noticeably shies away from violence. We see blood spurting and the sound design is spot-on discomforting, but it rides a nice balance of accessibility without compromising the reality of it all.
As harsh as the violence is in The Hunger Games, it would have been more meaningful, more deeply felt beyond the shock of seeing teenagers murdered for sport, if we knew any of these characters. The faults of the movie's first half come into play in the back end. Without a context to who these children are and with Ross' shaky camera skills working overtime, the actual Games part of The Hunger Games quickly dilutes to a blase product. Much of it is dark. Some of it is filled with poorly executed, CG creatures. The film gets messy as a whole, and, though beats of a rebellion rise up now and again, nothing ever feels complete.
Nothing, that is, save for Jennifer Lawrence. You don't care that she's playing another downtrodden teenager who is caring for her family in a violent and rustic world. That's only a small part to Katniss' story, anyway. Lawrence was a powerhouse in Winter's Bone, and she remains equally as steadfast, stoic, and stalwart in this role. Her expressions generate a pleasantness even when she's hunting, evading attacks, and outright fighting hand-to-hand, her moods always reflecting even she isn't saying anything. Lawrence is quickly filling a spot among the greatest, up-and-coming actors, and her performance in Hunger Games simply refreshes that opinion.
But outside of its fine, lead actress, The Hunger Games never quite hits the peaks it sets out to hit. It's on the right path for much of the running time, and, for that first half, you'll even wonder if its an adaptation that couldn't have been done better. You'd be right about that first half. Unfortunately, the real meat of the film comes late in the game, and, by then, you just want to experience more of this world. The Hunger Games is fine sci-fi with very discernible connections between their world and ours. Having said that, the story could act as a warning for where we might be headed. If that's the case, at least we'll be more familiarized by the participants once the real Hunger Games come around.

When I bought this car in 1977 it was a mere 20 years old, not very rusty with 150,000 miles. It had been pranged and pulled out and bondoed and repainted a couple of times, and was pretty well clapped out and used up. At the time I may have been a little short-sited when I proudly determined that I would restore it well enough to last another 20 to 30 years. Well, that was 30 years ago. A full restoration spanned nine years (with lots of delays), finished and back on the road in late 1986. This included stripping to bare metal, a couple coats of brush applied epoxy paint on the entire underbody, and Waxoil inside the box sections.
Eleven years and 124,000 miles later it was laid up for a few months in early spring 1998 to bang out a few dents, R & R outer panels and repaint, getting a new top, tonneau cover and carpet in the process. That was only a skin deep cosmetic make over.
Now another 10 years and 90,000 miles on it is time for a little body restoration work. The frame and floor are in excellent condition needing nothing. The outer body is in reasonable condition, perhaps needing just a little touch up in the lower fender areas. The outer rocker panels appear to be spotless, having been epoxy painted inside many years ago (but appearances can be deceiving). The inner sills have finally turned largely to rust dust and good old Illinois air, having rusted from inside out. Apparently Waxoil is not forever. It is rather hard to complain, figuring the original body has carried it through 50 years and 364,000 miles with very little welding work. But now it is time for some serious cut and weld to replace the inner sills before they get any worse.
These pictures and pages will follow the work as it progresses. I expect to work on it almost daily doing disassembly, cutting and welding with body in situ. When the inner sills have new sheet metal installed, then the body will come off for complete underbody painting and perhaps a little paint touch up on the frame. The plan is to have it back together with fresh paint and back on the road by April 15, 2008. That's only 4-1/2 months, but I have been here before, have a fair idea how much work is involved, and I will allocate as much time and effort as is necessary. I'm pretty sure it will finish on time, because I'm stubborn and persistent, and I don't intend to make a career out of this "little" body sills project.
So here are the first pictures, just to wet the appetite. Disassembly is well under way with removal of rag top, seats, all interior panels, doors, and most of the cockpit trim rails. Most of the screws came out easy due to generous application of anti-seize on a prior pass. I expect to post more pictures on a weekly basis to follow the work. If all goes well this experience should spawn some more tech pages and tips on body restoration. Stay tuned for the progress reports. (25 Nov 07)

The Hunger Games And Children: Who Should See This Movie?Tuesday, March 27th, 2012
The Hunger Games premise is not for the faint of heart: children are offered up as sacrifices to appease the central government gods who control 13 districts. [See more about an explanation of the movie in Part I of my Hunger Games Series.]
Here are the tributes:
You'll note that some are babies. And, in fact, in a wrenching scene one of the youngest of them dies a brutal death. And the protagonist Katniss Everdine gives the child funeral rites even though she is a competitor.
The kindness in the midst of the brutality causes a riot in the dead girl's district.
It is a lot to take in for an adult. For a child? Well.
Not all children should see this movie. In fact, children under 10 – 12 shouldn't see the movie no matter their constitutions. There is some good reasoning here as to why.
One of my older children (14) is especially sensitive and won't be seeing the movie either until it's on a small screen, the movie can be stopped, and the issues explained. Also, the books must be read first.
My twelve year old daughter did see the movie. She'd read all the books and didn't seem to grasp the horror of forcing children to fight each other to the death.
She sat curled into my arms at a couple points during the movie. Seeing is believing, evidently.
While the filmmakers did their best to minimize the blood and gore, the graphic nature of kids breaking necks, stabbing and slashing, poisoning, etc. disturbs all but the most detached.
The books are actually more graphic and distressing. As I shared in my previous post, I was so sickened by the premise that I put the book down.
Many books deal with children as protagonists in life and death situations — Lord of the Rings (in the books the Hobbits were coming of age), Ender's Game (6 year old protagonist), Black Beauty, Lord of the Flies, etc.
Children read these books, evaluate them, and process them on a different level. Their lack of life experience is a help here. In books, one imagines what one has experienced and apply it to the reading.
The movie gives no such room. The violence is there to see.
There is great risk watching the movie Hunger Games of becoming the voyeur watching the reality game. The American audience, especially, weaned on Survivor, the Bachelor, etc., can be immune to the human difficulty and suffering.
Children are used as pawns and killed while, as a friend stated, trying to hold on to their humanity. This is a subject only the more mature can process. Beware of robbing your child's innocence with this movie.
If you doubt your child's ability to handle it, wait.

School Choice And Education Reform: It's PersonalMonday, January 30th, 2012
Like health care, education affects everyone. Like the new Obamacare, education sets central recommendations, controls choices and creates a bureaucracy.
The government way is one-size fits all.
The problem is that just as every patient is different, so is every student. Patients and students need MORE choices not less.
In education, teachers unions and state and federal bureaucrats have powerful incentives to keep things the same.
Unfortunately, same harms the powerless–our future generation.
Education reform is an easy issue to get worked up over and then do nothing. There are multiple reasons for this:
1. Education reform can take a long time — by the time motivated parents take on a certain issue, it is likely their children won't benefit and once the child is done with school, the parents are simply relieved.
2. Parents have kids in the system — Yell at he warden, beat up the prison guard, and see how comfortable your stay at the clink is. Parents worry about their children being at the mercy of angry educators. They have good reason to be concerned. Teacher retaliation is not theoretical. It's happened.
3. All ed reform seems to be trimming around the edges and not overhauling central issues.
4. Teachers unions actively fight against any meaningful change. Kids are caught in the middle.
The solution to this problem is to create more flexibility. One proposal in Texas is to have the education dollars follow the child.
I like this solution. Here's why:
1. Education is still industrial-revolution ready, but less useful for the technological age. Money could be shifted to education focused on modern economic needs.
2. Children are diverse and learn differently. I have an Asperger's/Autism student, a GT student and a kid who I'm still trying to pin down. The education system is perfectly suited to the middle of the bell curve. What about all the kids who are outside the middle? What about the kid who needs far more structure verses the kid who is so self-motivated he or she could be a college grad by age 17?
3. It's market-based. Success breeds success. Money will go towards the best solutions.
I wonder why teachers unions are so insecure about their ability to keep and serve students? Why don't they believe they'd be as competitive as private schools if they're loosed from all their educational shackles?
Bad teachers would likely have a tougher time. Isn't that a desirable outcome? Don't we WANT good and great teachers? Don't we want to eliminate the bad eggs?
My uncle who has been a Superintendent of Schools in Michigan and has been a part of nearly every ed reform change over the years says that people just want to talk about it but not really effect real change.
That's probably true. It is patently unfair, though, that wealthy folks (like the Obamas) can put their kids in private schools that succeed while forcing the poor people to stay in failing schools. It is patently unfair that tax paying parents get no benefits while home schooling their own children.
People vote with their feet while resources are being thrown down the gluttonous public maw of educational failure.
It is time to become more innovative, not less, with education.

A Politician's Quick And Dirty Guide To Social MediaFriday, July 22nd, 2011
Google added it's new social network to the interwebs two weeks ago and I considered writing a post that addresses only Google Plus. Then, I reconsidered. Google + needs to be talked about in the context of everything else out there.
First, a couple overarching principles for every social network:
1. Don't be a jerk. It should go without saying, and yet…
2. Pretend you're talking to a person face to face.
3. Nothing can ever be taken back ever. It's the internet.
One big mistake politicians make is ignoring social media entirely.
A good politician will recognize that most public relations now is done through social media. That is, communication from the pol to his constituents happens on a much greater scale and more quickly and directly via social media. Yes, phone calls, hand shakes and kissing babies still matters and it matters a lot. But the fact is, politics is a lot like church: most folks hear the pastor give the sermon and never interact with him. There are a few true believers in the Amen Pew and they talk to everyone. Social media reaches the Amen Pew. Why wouldn't a politician have a communications strategy for these true believers (and skeptics)? It's really short-sighted and yet, many politicians still regulate their social media staff to an after-thought.
Here's the perspective you should have on Social Media from Gary Vaynerchuk:
My suggestion? Integrate social media with communications. In fact, a comms director who is social media ignorant shouldn't be a communications director. In the political space, a comms director who doesn't know the major new media players like bloggers (at whatever level the politician is at) shouldn't be employed, either.
Social media and new media relations isn't magical, but it requires work just like it requires work to form relationships with journalists. The lines are blurring and journalism has become more democratic and diverse. A blog can be far more influential to the type of people a politician wants to reach to influence who will then influence the people he wants influenced.
Now, to the social networks.
I'm starting with Facebook because right now, it's the juggernaut. Here's a couple of rules.
1. Only follow close personal friends and family on your Facebook account.
This is yours. If you're not into social media, don't sweat it. Just don't do it. There is no harm to not having a personal Facebook account. (This will cause some social media folks to howl, by the way, but my rationale is this: there are so many other social networks with which to engage people. A politician needs to have his real life too. Keep your FB account that life.)
2. Set up a public page aka Fan Page.
If you want this to grow, you have to feed it. Facebook pages are not magical wonderlands where followers just sprout out of nothing. Even the biggest named person has to give something to get something. The Fan Page is a good place to put ALL press releases. It is a good place to get feedback on certain pieces of legislation. It's a good place to explain your rationale for a decision you've made.
3. Interact there.
Facebook has some nice tools for social engagement. You can create events there and schedule them that will invite your fans. You can do nice targeted advertising. You can have more inclusive and cohesive conversations then say Twitter.
All this said, Facebook is my least favorite social media application. Why? They don't let you easily export your data. It's clunky. But everyone is there.
Good example on Facebook: Sarah Palin.
1. Be honest about your account.
That is, if you have your own Twitter account, fine, but run it yourself. Don't know about Twitter and don't care? That's okay. A Twitter account can be run by your comms director or whomever you trust, but make clear that the account is being run by that person … or a person other than you. You can also name the account @JoePoliticsNews or some such. That way, people know it's about you but not necessary from you.
Governor Rick Perry of Texas, for example, has a bunch of accounts. His staff runs one. He has his personal account (puppies!). And there's an election news one, etc. If you don't know about Twitter, or are a communications person, follow his accounts to get a feel for how a major politician can use Twitter to interact.
Another example is Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, New Jersey. He interacts. So does Representative Thad McCotter of Michigan. These guys use Twitter and talk to their constituents and anyone else who will listen. There are quite a few pols who do this well.
2. Either follow everyone or follow no one.
Either follow the world (highly recommended) or follow no one. I strongly advise against following porn stars, hookers and underage girls. (You'd think some things don't need to be spelled out and yet they do.) Twitter clients allow for lists so a politician or his staff can follow journalists and influencers without offending their constituents by not following them. So, my ultimate recommendation is to follow everyone. Just because you follow them all doesn't mean you have to pay attention to them all. It's just polite to be friendly.
3. There's no wrong way to tweet. Oh wait, yes there is..
Here's some guidelines: Be friendly and helpful but not overly personal. Boundary issues? Twitter is not for you. Be honest and engaging. Every once in a while get into conversations with folks. I've asked Representatives and Senators questions and Twitter gives them a good forum to give unspun answers. Sick of the media twisting your words or meaning? Well, judiciously use twitter to tell people what's up. If you are inauthentic, Twitter will reveal you. It is a social medium. It is also a really good way to provide information and to be a news stream. Use it!
Bad example: Anthony Weiner. Don't be that guy. Please. Spare us all.
Google +
Intro: You're asking, What the heck is Google + and why should I care? Google + is a brand new social network created by Google (duh). It is a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook in some ways and a completely new thing in others. Like Twitter as many people as want to can follow you — millions even. Like Facebook, you're limited about who you can follow to 5,000 people. In addition, of those 5K people, you can organize these folks into circles. Just like real life, Google + allows you put people into categories and interact with them (and only them, if desired) in those circles.
Why do I love Google + for Politicians?
1. Google + lets you tailor messages to the people you want to reach.
Want to tell the whole world about your new legislation? Make that a "Public" message. Want to share a message with key activists, donors, etc? Create circles for them and communicate with them. Want to send out a press release? Create a circle for the press (I have one of about 500 people right now, myself and include bloggers in that circle, fyi) and send the press release that way. And guess what? Those people can communicate back with you easily.
2. Google + allows for this new thing called "Hangouts".
Hangouts are like a Skype conversation but for up to (for now) 9 people. I say for now, because a business version of Google + is coming out and I'll bet that they allow dozens if not hundreds of people on a Hangout. We'll see. But for now, Hangouts would be a wonderful way for a politician to meet with his constituents without leaving the comfort of his office or home. You know those key activists you meet with weekly? How about having a Hangout? You know those donors in five different counties (states)? Meet in a Hangout. You know those key reporters who you want to talk to and don't want to repeat yourself ten times? Have a Hangout and talk to them. Have a constituent group who is hopping mad about fill-in-the-blank and so much so you worry about your personal safety? Have a hangout and talk about it with people and be safe.
Details about a hangout. Google makes it so that whomever is talking has the camera on them. Anyone can share a YouTube. So, if you're on the road and your campaign manager wants to show you the latest ad, he can. Links can be shared. The possibility for this tech and politicians is endless.
Here is Michael Dell in a Hangout. He plans to use them for customer service:
3. Google + allows for a great way to share extended thoughts.
More extensive than Twitter. Less static than Facebook. More privacy controls than all of the above. Google + has less limits and yet more controls. This is essential. Newt Gingrich has already had a hangout on Google +. Other politicians are jumping on and trying it out. Early adoption celebrities (who face many of the same security and need-to-connect-with-the-public issues) are really enjoying the medium.
All in all, though it's early, I feel that Google + has the most to offer politicians. The short coming? While Facebook has 750 million people on it (600 million check it monthly anyway) and Twitter has around 60 million active users, Google + has probably around 15 million … after two weeks. It took Facebook and Twitter years to get that many folks. I predict serious growth right now. Google has 193 million users monthly (as of last November). That's a lot of people. And even more use Google to search.
Google + integrates with other shared services as well. Unfortunately most government folks cannot use many of these tools, but for real life users they're valuable and make Google products sticky.
There are other social media too.
Foursquare: Foursquare and Gowalla are location-based social media and useful for politicians who want to tell people where they are.
LinkedIn: Businesses and job seekers use LinkedIn. It's the mature social network for business types. I haven't seen a lot of political uses for it other than networking and following people important in the business world.
Are shaking hands, knocking on doors, kissing babies and taking pictures important? Yes. Absolutely. They're essential especially for lesser known politicians.
Can social media make a huge different in a politician's scope of influence, connection to constituents, and control of the message? Yes. A million times yes.
Whereas social media was a catch phrase a couple years ago, it's real life, now. Companies are very effectively using Twitter, for example, to do consumer outreach and conduct customer service. Celebrities are very effectively using Fan groups on Facebook to give followers special deals.
There are so many innovative ways to use social media and yet, at its fundamental level, social media is all about a politician's stock in trade: influence and talking to people.
Educate yourself. Need some help and training? Worried that the "social media expert" is hosing you? Email me at melissa.clouthier at gmail.com or call me at 713-306-8867.
Social media is a really fun, direct way to communicate from the comfort of your home and jammies. Why more politicians don't embrace it, I don't know. But it is a natural fit for the politics business and the innovations that are coming along will make it even easier to be more efficient with your politicking.

When Campaign Ads Go Too Far
By Timothy Dalrymple, October 22, 2010 12:12 am
A recent transplant from Boston to Atlanta, I have not lived in Georgia long enough to feel invested in the local politics. I should care more than I do, since the local elections will influence the life I lead, but I tend to focus on national political issues. Several recent ads, however, have truly disgusted me. They raise again this issue: What are the ethical principles that govern political rhetoric? When is it rhetoric as usual that we simply accept and shake our head at, and when is it so dishonest or unfair that it should not be tolerated?

Howard Zinn, "Outed" as a Communist and a Liar
By: Trevor Loudon
New Zeal
Howard Zinn, the prominent "progressive" historian who died early this year, has been "outed" as both a communist and a liar.
The prominent "progressive" historian Howard Zinn, whose books are force-fed to young people on many college campuses, was not only a member of the Moscow-controlled and Soviet-funded Communist Party USA (CPUSA) but lied about it, according to an FBI file released on Friday
Zinn taught in the political science department of Boston University for 24 years, from 1964 to 1988, and has been a major influence on the modern-day "progressive" movement that backed Barack Obama for president.
Although Zinn denied being a member of the CPUSA, the FBI file discloses that several reliable informants in the party identified Zinn as a member who attended party meetings as many as five times a week.

But the retribution is not what you think. Go read the whole thing:
GM – Chrysler Dealer Closings Was Politically Motivated Retribution; Obama Does Not Care About Jobs
Who, with a straight face, can say that President Obama cares about creating jobs? The man has shut down the oil industry in the gulf. He has passed a health care law that increases business costs thus limiting job creation. And now, his administration is exposed as needlessly shutting down dealerships costing "tens of thousands of jobs".
The fact is, in order to get the reordered society that Barack Obama seeks, some of the little people have to be lost in the shuffle for the greater good.

Can a dual boot be created for 2 installs of Win7??? Experts only...
I have a client that wants to setup an office laptop that will also be used in the field. Due to confidentiality reasons I cannot get into specifics, but when in the office the machine needs a specific network setup (Machine name/workgroup/etc) and specific software installed... when functioning in the field this laptop needs an entirely different setup for the network and different software installed.
Is there anyway I can dual boot between 2 unique seperate installs and setups of Win7? I have never tried this... what do you all think?
I know I could do this with XP and 7... but we just started phasing out all XP machines.
Your thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated!
|My System Specs
|29 Sep 2011
You can easy install a second windows 7 on a free partition. The dual boot will be created automatically during install. Later rename boot menu entries say "office" and "field".
You can later even hide one of the boot entries (the confidential) and create a keyboard shortcut for loading the "hidden" office installation so even if computer gets in foreign hands it would be hard to get into the confidential installation.
See this - Custom Bootstrap Actions - create shortcut to loaders.

2008 Nissan Versa Hatchback - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Great Little Car!!
By Dave on
Vehicle2008 Nissan Versa 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewI've driven the Fit, Scions, Focus, Corolla, Yaris and Civic and I have to say that I like the Versa the best. The Corolla, Yaris and Civic all are well made cars, but for me the Versa had the smoothest ride/acceleration (CVT) and best interior. The layout of the controls was top notch. Also you sit up higher in the seat so you have a better view of what's up ahead. The keyless feature seemed like no big deal at first, but when your hands are full, you don't need to fumble in your pockets for the key. It's a pretty neat feature. However, what people like is so personal to them that I think you need to drive all the aforementioned cars to decide what is right for you. Good luck!!
Best FeaturesCVT, no-key entry and locking, good seats, 6 disc CD, interior layout and better stock radio than others.
Worst FeaturesTilt-telescopic steering (best to test the wheel before buying; was OK for me), daytime running lights, disc brakes on top line model.

Swift Talk
A weekly video series on Swift programming.
#69 Reactive Data Structures: Arrays 30:55
We build a reactive array type on top of the reactive list from episode #67 and implement a filter method.
#67 Reactive Data Structures: Linked Lists 25:58
We build a reactive linked list on top of reactive programming primitives. We implement a reduce method on this type, which does the minimum amount of work when the underlying data changes.
#64 Driving Table View Animations 30:24
We build a component similar to NSFetchedResultsController, but without the reliance on Core Data. This component can be reused whenever we need to drive table view animations.
#55 Sorted Arrays with Binary Search 26:51
Károly joins us to improve our sorted array implementation from episode #35 using binary search. We benchmark both implementations to learn about their real-world performance.
#41 Custom Collections: IndexSet as Collection (Collections #6) 16:51
In this final episode of our collection series, we make our custom IndexSet collection type conform to the Collection protocol, implementing a custom index type along the way.
#38 Custom Collections: IndexSet as Sequence 14:08
In this episode, we make a custom collection conform to Sequence. This allows us to efficiently iterate over the elements, and we gain all the useful functionality of Sequence.
#37 Custom Collections: Building IndexSet 18:52
We take a look at how to implement a custom collection type. As an example, we build a simple IndexSet implementation. In upcoming episodes we'll make this type conform to collection protocols.
#35 Sorted Arrays (Collections #3) 16:42
We look at extracting a sorted array type in order to increase code clarity. We'll also make it conform to Collection.
#33 Sequence & Iterator (Collections #2) 16:54
We continue to make the collection extension from the last episode more generic: we implement it on the Sequence protocol and discuss infinite sequences in the process.
#32 Array, ArraySlice & Collection (Collections #1) 15:16
We show how to make an extension on array available to other collections: first, we implement it for array slices, then we implement it as a protocol extension for all collections.

Up until December 2016, I lived in the most liveable city in the world, and yes it's true it really is THAT liveable called Melbourne. My family and I now live in the United Kingdom where I now serve as Executive Leader at Community Church Derby.
I'm a husband to one amazing woman. Dad to three life changing children.
I'm passionate about sharing with the world what I know about branding, communications, marketing and all things digital.
I want to help you communicate clearly and simply. So that you are able to tell your story in a way that connects with your audience whether you are a small, church, business or non-profit. I'm not trying to sell you anything – just trying to help where I can.
