Two Christmas Card Recitation Programs for Children!
A Greeting for You
By Merle Glasgow.
(A child carries a large greeting card. On the front are the words, "Merry Christmas," and on the inside is the word, "Welcome." The lettering should be large enough to be read by the audience.) Wouldn't this be cute at a Christmas stamping party?
(with card closed)
I brought you a greeting card.
It says, "Merry Christmas," you see.
Something else is written inside.
It will now be opened by me.
(opens card for audience to see)
The word written here is, "Welcome."
So you know it is really true
That we are glad indeed
To see each one of you.
The Christmas Card
Author Unknown.
(This was in a scrapbook of clippings, poetry, etc. my Grandmother left me. She was a Sunday School teacher for many years.)
1st child = (carrying easel and flannelgraph which she sets up)
We're going to build a Christmas card,
So every one may know
About the first blest Christmas Eve
In Bethlehem, long ago.
2nd child = (placing dark flannel on board)
The world was dark, for it was night,
And through the sleeping land
No one knew it was the time
That God before had planned.
3rd child = (Place star in center of board)
When, LO, a glorious star appeared,
It's radiance bright as day;
And over the darkly sleeping earth
It cast a shining ray.
4th Child = (place the Wise Men in lower left corner)
And Wise Men, by its wondrous light,
Came from the land afar;
Came their richest gifts to bring
Guided by the star.
5th Child = (placing shepherds and sheep at the lower right)
It shone upon a shepherd band
Who safe their flocks did keep;
It shone upon the little lambs;
It shone upon the sheep.
6th Child = (place Angel host in upper left)
When suddenly the sky grew bright.
Grew brighter than the day,
And Angel host in glistening robes
Came down the starry way.
7th Child = (place large angel in upper right corner)
And one spoke to the frightened men;
"Good News, good News this morn,
For unto you and all mankind
Christ, the Lord, is born."
8th Child = (remove figures from board)
Then swiftly they too hastened
To Bethlehem away,
To find the stable dark and drear --
A manger filled with hay.
9th Child = (place stable and Joseph and Mary)
Joseph was there, and Mary
But all their eyes could see
Was the Babe that God had given,
His Son, their Savior to be.
10th Child = (Place shepherds and Wise Men kneeling before manger)
In reverence they worshiped,
Worshiped the new born King;
With grateful hearts they offered
Their choicest gifts to Him.
1st Child = (Place words "CHRIST IS BORN", which has been glued on wide satin ribbon, over the manger).
Oh, let us at this Christmas time
Reverence and adore
The one that came that holy night,
Our Lord forever more.
ALL: sing "Silent Night".

Miniature Tigers, The Modern Art Tour with The Chain Gang of 1974, Geographer, Pretty & Nice Tickets available at door
The Chain Gang of 1974, Geographer, Pretty & Nice
The Social
54 North Orange Ave
Orlando, FL, 32801
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
The sound is important but nothing is more important than the feeling of the sound. When Charlie Brand (vocals, guitar) was writing the newest Miniature Tigers record, he looked to the sum of his musical influences for inspiration. "I wanted to make something like Weezer's Blue Album—not exactly the album, but the feeling of listening to that album at age whatever. Something with that feeling that could connect with people." That's how the band had started, after all: When he and founding member Rick Schaier (keys) connected over Myspace in the mid-'00s through their love of the same bands. After a few albums, they brought on Algernon Quashie (guitar) and Brandon Lee (bass) to complete the band.
The resulting record, Cruel Runnings, is something halfway between nostalgia and the ecstatic now, an album that yearns for the recent past while staring open-hearted at what the present dares to bring. Songs about swimming pools remembered on sticky summer nights, lovers meeting at discotheques, streets where you used to live. Let's just try to be as much of us as possible, Brand decided during the recording process. In that, Miniature Tigers have written a record that's eminently relatable, passionate but not without a healthy sense of perspective. Recorded in Jamaica with producer Chris Zane (The Walkmen, Passion Pit) the album sounds as freeing as the process felt. "There was just a different energy there, a different energy in such a relaxing environment," he says. "Everything came very naturally." That's fitting of a record where Brand wanted to capture the way a relationship—and through that, life—really felt. "Not necessarily something that was good and got bad," he says, "but the ups and downs of it."
"My brothers and I were surrounded by music growing up," explains Kamtin Mohager, the genre-jumping singer/multi-instrumentalist behind The Chain Gang of 1974. "Not Beatles albums or anything like that; more like the Persian records our parents played all the time. And when we got older, it was up to us to discover everything."
Born in San Jose and raised in Hawaii, Mohager spent his first 13 years playing inline hockey and dreaming of being drafted by the NHL. His thoughts shifted to music soon after a move to Colorado, however. All thanks to the sinking feeling he felt after seeing the final scene in Real Genius. That'd be the part where "Everybody Wants To Rule the World" kicks in, tugging at the audience's collective heartstrings like only the finest Reagan era records can.
"That's definitely been the goal with my music all along," says Mohager. "The emotion isn't just in the vocals or the lyrics. It's in the songwriting itself."
That's abundantly clear on Wayward Fire, a record that's nearly as restless as The Chain Gang of 1974's last two self-released LPs, White Guts and a collection of early cuts called Fantastic Nostalgic. The way Mohager sees it, his debut was "all over the place, from a piano ballad to songs that sound like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Primal Scream or Justice." And while White Guts funneled three years of instrument-swapping, sample-splicing experience into a lean, focused listen, Wayward Fire melds the standout moments from that release onto Mohager's most fully-realized vision yet.
"From Phil Collins to Fleetwood Mac to the Stills, all of my favorite artists have put out albums," explains Mohager. "I wanted to do the same thing, not just release a record you kinda skip through."
No wonder why the laser-guided synth lines of "Undercover" and the rather epic "Hold On"—crowd pleasers that hint at everything from LCD Soundsystem to Talking Heads—make perfect sense alongside such shifting soundscapes as the shimmering keys of "Don't Walk Away," the hands-in-the-air hooks of "Taste of Heaven," and the choruses that cut through the rain clouds in "Matter of Time." Of course, it doesn't hurt that Mohager balances his minor-key melodies with bold, bloodletting lyrics.
"Lyrically, it's a dark record—all about fear, jealously and love," he says. "Even the parts with hints of happiness have some doubt thrown in."
Some closure came with the final cut, though, as Mohager moved to L.A., severed the ties of the two-year relationship that fueled Wayward Fire, and raised the curtain on what's next, proving that this particular film has just begun.
In the summer of 2005, after a series of deaths in the family, Michael Deni left his hometown in New Jersey for San Francisco. He spent the next several months with his guitar and a synthesizer, turning that tragedy into the songs that would soon become the foundation for Geographer. With the additions of cellist Nathan Blaz and drummer Brian Ostreicher, Geographer spent the next year cutting their teeth in the Bay Area, winning over crowds with the heart-pounding epics that make up their debut record, 'Innocent Ghosts'. After being selected one of three 'Undiscovered Bands You Need To Hear Now' by SPIN Magazine and garnering considerable word-of-mouth praise from their energetic live shows, the band signed to San Francisco-based label Tricycle Records, releasing a 7" single for the song 'Kites' in October 2009. 'Animal Shapes' follows up 'Kites', building on the synth-driven aesthetic of the single, while
Tucked away in a basement somewhere on the outskirts of Boston, there is a secret lair filled with motley recording equipment, and a neatly organized cache of guitars, synths and other flashing electronics. The stockpile of gadgetry is owned and operated by three young gentlemen who call themselves Pretty & Nice. Hardly art (Sub Pop)

I have some orders listed in my LinkShare reports that have RR-REPEAT at the end of the SKU. Does anyone know what this means? They're sizable orders so I'm curious what they mean.

Intriguing...Did you email them to ask about it? I don't think it's a "Linkshare" thing. It seems like merchants report their own sku-level detail to Linkshare, b/c in my individual item reports across all merchants, there's never any consistency in sku formatting. Some merchants have numbers, some have names, some have random alphanumerics, some have all caps, etc.
Maybe Mr/Ms Handspring program manager will see this post...
June 10th, 2003, 01:58 PM #5
No, I didn't email them yet. I first saw this yesterday and wondered if anyone saw this too. I had someone place a large order for 12 units. Two days later, another order for 12 units showed up but a different color-same order total though but this one had the REPEAT in the SKU. So, I thought the customer changed their mind about the color and expected one order to drop or show as a return. Today I see an order for 20 units with the REPEAT in the SKU. All 3 orders are still in the reports as sales so I'm confused now wondering if there's a corporate customer that can't make up their mind, or keeps ordering more, or if it's just dumb luck to have 3 large orders in one month.

Hi, we are planning a trip to Grand Canyon in August. I have been to North Rim, but in late fall when trails were already closed. None of us (husband and son) have been to South or west Rim. We are interested in hiking but I am NOT interested in camping.
We have heard great things about Havasu falls. If we do the Havasu hike, would we be missing out if we do not hike down into the Canyon from the South or north rims? I am thinking we could drive to scenic overlooks and maybe hike down a mile or so on Bright Angel or Kaibab. With the time left over, we could go to Zion and/or Bryce.
The initial thought was to spend a week just at Grand Canyon, but after reading all the dire warnings about the heat, I am thinking maybe our hikes down into the canyon should be limited.
We are experienced hikers and have time to prepare including hiking with packs to carry our GALLONS of water! (although not quite for the heat I guess).
I guess as another option, we could hike down to Phantom Ranch and do the helicopters to Havasu. I am an animal lover and anticipate the mules or pack horses would just make me sad, although I have not seen anything indicating they are mistreated.
Also, any recent experience with staying at the lodge/dorm in Havasu Canyon, or at phantom ranch if we went that route?
Lots of questions here but any advice appreciated. I have seen a couple of great trip reports on Kaibab and Bright Angel but nothing recent on Havasu.

I have only been to Havasu one Easter when it was freezing cold on the rim and warm enough to go swimming at the bottom. I'm sure August is very hot so be sure to watch your water. I went years before the flood altered the falls so I don't really know what it looks like now.
When exiting the Grand Canyon, I like to go out the east exit and stop for fry bread at the Cameron trading post, then continue through Wupatki and Sunset Crater National Monument, If you do that, be sure to go all the way down to the ball court and blow hole at the main Wupatki ruin, A nice short (but steep) hike at Sunset is the Lenox trail - http://www.nps.gov/sucr/planyourvisit/lenox-trail.htm

"we could hike down to Phantom Ranch and do the helicopters to Havasu".
No you can't. No helicopters are allowed below the rim in the National Park (south rim) (medical rescues & NPS only). And no helicopters from south rim to Havasu either.
Do you know that the South Rim is over 200 miles from Havasu?
Phantom Ranch reservations for August 2014 were most likely sold out in August 2013. You could try & call Xanterra for cancellations (unlikely).
Your best bet would be to spend a 1 or 2 days at the south rim, hike the rim trails, or plan to go a short way down either South Kaibab or Bright Angel trail. August will be hot, hot, hot so bring plenty of water & salty snacks. And hike early before the sun gets too hot.
Do you have reservations at the south rim yet? Good chance that everything will already be sold out. Call Xanterra to check for cancellations.
Report Abuse
Thank you both for your replies. I think my listed options were not clear - I did not mean to take a helicopter from south rim to Havasu - I meant do the hiking at South Rim trails (to get my hike in) and then, if we wanted to visit Havasu, drive there and take the helicopters down. I think this is an option(?)
Regarding lodging, there is space at El Tovar in August. We are speculating that it is a combination of it being REALLY hot, and kids being back in school. But for some reason I did not check Phantom Ranch - good point. Perhaps that makes the decision easier!
Report Abuse
Suggest you check the Havasupai tribal web site. The helicopters give priority to tribal members, so you are unable to make a reservation for a particular day or time.

I don't want to discourage you from going to Supai, but visiting there is an involved process. Helicopter flights occur only four days a week, for limited hours; flights may be cancelled due to weather or local holidays. As noted above, reservations are not available, and tribe members are given priority. Wait times are generally not too bad, but I've read reports from three different groups that waited in line 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5 hours respectively. You'll probably be able to get a flight, but be prepared to hike if necessary. The record high is 116 degrees.
You may not visit Supai without a confirmed reservation -- either at the campground (which won't work for you) or the 24 room lodge. It's quite possible that no rooms will be available; prime dates at the lodge sell out as much as a year in advance. Note: it just MIGHT be possible to stay at the campground without a reservation, but the price doubles, and it's unclear if this always works.
Also, have a backup plan. August is monsoon season, and Supai is subject to flash floods, which can close the village to visitors for anywhere from a few days to the better part of a year. There have been closures every year for the past six years.

2017 Toyota 86 : Review
Toyota has dropped the Scion brand and with that has absorbed some of the youth brand's models into its lineup, including the former Scion FR-S, now known as the Toyota 86. Since the FR-S had "86" badges and harkened back to the manufacturer's halcion race days with the 1980s AE86 model, the change seems fitting. The Toyota 86 is part of the Toyobaru collaboration with Subaru, which sells the car as the BRZ.
Not much has changed from the FR-S to the 86 outside of the badging. The Scion oval is now a Toyota swirl, but it's otherwise still the driver's car it has always been. And honestly, there wasn't much that needed changing. This is a great car.
The 2017 Toyota 86 basically holds the best that Toyota and Subaru have to offer in an entry-level coupe that has only one trim level and no factory frills. It's comfortable and usable enough for everyday driving and exciting enough for weekend fun. Mostly, though, the 86 is a sport coupe with potential that allows an entry-level driver to grow the car alongside their skills and wallet.
On the outside, the 2017 Toyota 86 is a great-looking sport coupe. Simple bodywork screams competence as a fast machine, with humps and lines in all the right places. In the tradition of sports coupes, the 86 has a long hood, fast roofline, and clipped rear deck. The onlooker immediately notes the wide, long wheelbase and the low, fast build of the car.
The Toyota 86 has a large intake below the hood badge that allows the hoodline to dip down low and roll up towards the windscreen. Peering, meteor-shaped headlamps fly outwards towards the fenders which are humped as a promise of handling excellence.
Simple bodywork along the sides remains smooth and nearly unadorned, drawing attention to the fat rear haunches and defining roofline that make the car. The 2017 Toyota 86 is beautiful to look at and has a look that belies its low price point and entry-level status.
The 2017 86 is nicely accoutered for the price tag. Seating is comfortable and the layout is good considering the compact nature of the cockpit. The rear seats are mostly for a bag of groceries or a small dog, but a determined person could squeeze a child safety seat or two back there if required. Anyone requiring legroom should not have any plans for the back of the 86, though.
Most everything now considered standard in entry-level cars is present in the Toyota 86. Some upgrades are available, including keyless ignition, dual-zone climate, heated seating, and an upholstery upgrade. Anything else you require will likely be a dealership option instead, such as a better infotainment system. The standard 7-inch touchscreen is nice to look at, but largely non-functional in terms of apps or capability.
What we do like is the driver-centric build of the Toyota 86's interior. The shifter that comes with the manual transmission is placed just right for most drivers and the seats can be tilted back or ramrodded upright so that every style can be met. There are few other things most drivers interested in an 86 would really want, honestly.
The 2017 Toyota 86 is powered by a Subaru-made 2.0-liter opposed piston (boxer) engine that outputs 200 horsepower with the automatic transmission and 205 horses with the six-speed manual that we'd recommend. 151 pound-feet and 156 lb-ft are the torque outputs for these transmissions, respectively. There is a fuel economy gain of 3 mpg (24 to 27) when the automatic is added, though, so that might entice some to give up the fun factor of a manual shift. Of course achieving 27 mpg combined in EPA ratings in the real world in this car is not very realistic. The car is perfectly capable of those numbers, we believe, but only those with superhuman amounts of self-control would ever be able to drive the 86 with a light enough foot to achieve them. Lead footing this car is instinctual.
These numbers might sound pretty tame, but for an entry-level, rear-wheel drive sports car with an honest engine (no turbos, no tricks), they're very good. Most anyone can quite readily achieve 0-60 mph sprints of 6 seconds or less in the Toyota 86.
What's really nice to know, though, is that as the entry-level buyer improves in skill, the 86 can be improved to push that skill further. Forums for the 86, FR-S, and BRZ are full of explanations about how to bolt on turbo kits and superchargers from the Subaru STi line for the WRX models. These modifications are largely out of the box too, with little change to the apparently overbuilt transmission and brakes being required to go along with them. Obviously, these would renege any factory warranty and are taken at your own risk..
Our overall assessment is that the 2017 Toyota 86 carries on where the Scion FR-S leaves off. It's a solid little sports coupe that offers everything an entry-level buyer with about $200 a month to spend on payments could want. With a price tag of roughly $20,000, delivered, the 86 brings fun times, good performance, and a lot of style. It's economical enough to drive everyday and fun enough to keep an owner entertained for years.

Mordekaiser Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I put different kinds of runes because Hp/per5 MAY help you early game but I don't think they will because they start to get noticeable around level 8-9 but you should have your revolver by then. But I recommend you should get Armor seals, 18+ Ap at level 18 isn't really that good. Or you can get health per level too.
You can go 21/0/9 if you want picking all of the Mpen and Ap beneficial masteries but 9/21/0 gives him the early game strength he needs to last till late game where he really shines.
Don't get Wota early game. The CC from gunblade will help you snag a lot more kills and since you auto attack while your skills are on CD you'll get some lifesteal, but the lifesteal doesn't matter much. instead of getting lich bane early at the risk of blowing up you could get rylais instead as your second item. then after rabadons get lich bane then Wota. And ask someone on your team if THEY could get wota. you'll have 60% total spell vamp if they do.
Skill Sequence
Since W is weak until late game max it last, you can choose to put points in E whenever possible but if you power up your E and Q then you'll have a lot more damage.
Summoner Spells
If you are going mid get flash. If you're going SOLO top get ghost. And if they say you have to get bot. Queue dodge :/. Morde needs a solo lane for lots of farm, it's not worth sharing CS and getting behind in gold. Ignite is obligatory.
Pros / Cons
Excellent farmer.
Heavy damage dealer.
"Tanky" with more damage you dish out.
Unstoppable late game if he gets 3-5 kills early.
Very prone to ganks as he needs to push in order to keep his shield generated.
No escape move.
Team fights.
What you want to do is obviously keep throwing out E and Q as much as possible and W on your tank to make him/her more tanky because of the resist it gives. Ult the Ranged AD carry preferably, ranged and make sure they die. Tell your team who you're ulting so they can help you target them. Of course you can use your gunblade to catch up to enemy champs on the run.
You should be able to spam E early game because you're pendant will regen the health you used by time it comes off of CD. You should be able to spam and not lose too much health. I don't prefer you spam though. And if you start with an Tome then DO NOT spam E, you'll kill yourself and be forced to B even more.
I've told you everything you need to know to play morde pretty much. Get out there on the fields of justice and bring great suffering and torment to your opponents.
A fun thing to do when playing morde is to have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ3emd3phLY that running on youtuberepeat while playing him. Or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0fAhicsJns

Reed Smith is dropping its Midlands-based debt recovery and local property practices as part of a shake-up designed to bring the local outpost in line with the firm's international focus.
The US firm has announced to staff in its Coventry office that the nine-strong debt recovery team, led by litigation partner Larry Coltman, will split from the firm by the end of the year.
At the same time, property partners David Hayes and Mary Anderson will move to Clarke Willmott's Birmingham office in November to head its local commercial property development practice.
Reed Smith UK managing partner Tim Foster said the losses followed the firm's strategy to bring the local outpost in line with its focus on international and high-end matters.
The US firm acquired its London and Coventry offices as part of its merger with UK firm Warner Cranston in January 2001. However, it has struggled to blend the strongly Midlands-focused practices with the firm's international flavour.
The debt recovery team is expected to set up as a boutique, although it will retain close ties with Reed Smith. Coltman will take on a dual role, remaining a partner in the firm's litigation team in addition to running the debt recovery firm.
Foster said that, while Hayes' and Anderson's departures were not planned, they were consistent with the firm's strategy, as both had strong practices within the Midlands-based development market.
Reed Smith is understood to be in consultation with several associates in its remaining Coventry-based real estate team concerning their future with the firm.

On 2 July 2015, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) published a press release announcing the launch of a peer review on the implementation of its policy framework for financial stability risks posed by non-bank financial entities other than money market funds. Transforming shadow banking into resilient market-based finance is one of the core elements of the FSB's regulatory reform agenda. The framework was developed by the FSB in August 2013 and focuses on the underlying economic functions of non-bank financial entities. The objective of the review is to evaluate the progress made by FSB jurisdictions in implementing the overarching principles set out in the framework, i.e. that FSB jurisdictions should assess shadow banking entities based on economic functions; adopt policy tools to mitigate identified financial stability risks caused by shadow banking entities; and participate in information sharing through the FSB.
The peer review will consider:
- arrangements needed to update the regulatory framework in order to capture new forms of shadow banking;
- types of information necessary to assess shadow banking risks for entities that have the potential to pose risks to the financial system;
- how to enhance public disclosure of shadow banking entities' risks; and
- the design of policy tools to mitigate identified financial stability risks.
The FSB initially invited feedback from financial institutions, industry, consumer associations and other stakeholders on the areas covered by the review (the consultation period has now closed). The FSB will analyse and discuss the responses later in 2015 and the peer review will be published in early 2016.

The following information pertains to Fairways Driving Range, Inc.:
The company is considering operating a new driving range facility in Sanford, FL. In order to do so, they will need to purchase a ball dispensing machine, a ball pick-up vehicle and a tractor and accessories for a total cost of $70,000. All of this depreciable equipment will be 7-year MACRS property. The project is expected to operate for 6 years, at the end of which the equipment will be sold for 40% of its original cost. Fairways expects to have $40,000 of fixed costs each year other than depreciation. These fixed costs include the cost of leasing the land for the driving range.
Fairways expects to have sales for the first year of $80,000 based on renting 20,000 buckets of balls @ $4 per bucket. For years 2-6, they expect the number of buckets rented to steadily increase by 750 buckets per year, while the price will remain constant @ $4. Expenditures needed for buckets and balls each year are expected to be 15% of the gross revenues for the year.
The project would have an initial working capital requirement of $5,000 and this requirement will be 10% of all revenues after that. Fairways will be in the 15% tax bracket for all years in question. The company's required rate of return for this project is 20%.
Please complete the following tables to determine the NPV for Fairways Driving Range, Inc.'s proposed Sanford venture. PLEASE ROUND ALL FIGURES TO THE NEAREST WHOLE DOLLAR!
- print Print
- list Cite
From the information provided, Fairways has a plan to operate a driving range facility for 6 years. The initial investment is machinery worth $70000. The depreciation of the machinery is tax deductible and the final value is 40% of the original value or $28000. The sales are estimated to be 20000 buckets of balls which at $4 per bucket is $80000 for the first year; the sales increase by 750 buckets every year for years 2 - 6. The price is constant at $4.
In year 1, the sales are $80000. The expenditure is 0.15*80000 + 5000 + 40000= 57000. The gross income is 23000. The tax-deductible depreciation is 7000. The gross income is 16000. With a rate of taxation of 15%, the net income is 13600
In year 2, sales are $83000. The expenditure is 83000*(0.15+0.1) + 40000 = 60750. The gross income is 22250. The taxes are applicable to 15250. The net income is 12962.5
In year 3, sales are 86000. The expenditure is 86000*(0.15+0.1) + 40000 = 61500. The gross income is 24500. The taxes are applicable to 17500. The net income is 14875
In year 4, sales are 89000. The expenditure is 89000*(0.15+0.1) + 40000 = 62250. The gross income is 26750. The taxes are applicable to 19750. The net income is 16787.5
In year 5, sales are 92000. The expenditure is 92000*(0.15+0.1) + 40000 = 63000. The gross income is 29000. The taxes are applicable to 22000. The net income is 18700
In year 6, sales are 95000. In addition the initial investment's resale value is $28000. The expenditure is 95000*(0.15+0.1) + 40000 = 63750. The gross income is 59250. The net income is 50362.5
As the required rate of return is 20%, the NPV of the project is 13600/1.2 + 12962.5/1.2^2 + 14875/1.2^3 + 16787.5/1.2^4 + 50362.5/1.2^5 - 70000 = 57278.66 - 70000 = -12721
The NPV of the project is a negative value of -$12721.

|6 reviews in total
I do love a good drama/murder mystery/thriller, and Case Sensitive was exactly that. The whole drama is stylishly filmed, with the photography excellent and the location shooting beguiling. The story is very gripping and interesting, while the writing is wry, intelligent and sometimes tense too and the direction is solid. The acting is as good as can be, Olivia Williams and Darren Boyd are both outstanding and their subdued chemistry shines through loud and clear. And when it comes to the support acting, Rupert Graves in very strung-up mode especially stands out, and the lady who plays Sally is very believable. The drama goes along at a good pace with each explanation unfolding nicely, but here come my only complaints of Case Sensitive. Pacing wise, the first half is better and more compelling than the second, whereas the first half goes quite quickly during the last thirty or so minutes the drama slows down and I will admit my interest wavered slightly. My other complaint is the ending, I understood most of the explanations leading up to that point and the revelation of the culprit was well done and clever, but it did feel slightly rushed through and some of it did come across as far-fetched making me reach towards the rewind button. Overall though, Case Sensitive was excellent. 8/10 Bethany Cox
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
When Mrs Bretherick and her daughter are found dead in the bath the
police think it is a clear case of murder/suicide; when they find what
appears to be the woman's dairy on her computer and a suicide note they
are even more certain despite Mr Bretherick's protestations that she
would never do such a thing. The plot thickens when Sally Thorne hears
what has happened on television and goes to see Mr Bretherick as the
two of them had had a brief fling while away at a conference
only when
she meets him it is clear that the two of them have never met before.
She flees and he goes to report her to the police although this leads
them to suspect he might be up to no good. As the case progresses the
police come to believe that Mrs Bretherick might have been murdered
after all and Sally's life becomes endangered.
Olivia Williams and Darran Boyd did well as DS Charlie Zailer, the policewoman in charge of the case and her sidekick DC Simon Waterhouse; other notable performances were provided by Rupert Graves as Mr Bretherick and Amy Beth Hayes as Sally. The story was taut and for much of the first episode; I was unsure whether is would turn out to be a suicide after all. When we learnt who was responsible it came as quite a surprise to me which is always good in a murder mystery although it did seem a little far fetched for reasons I won't spell out here to avoid spoiling it.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
English police drama attracts me like a fly to left over cake - I see
the trailers and immediately organise to watch or record them,
sometimes they are less like cake and more like old vegetable peelings.
This is one. An example of the latter that is.
I have seen much much worse so if you are having a quiet day and just want something that is well acted with a bit of a tale - then go for it. Just don't expect anything even close to the calibre of early Prime Suspects or the early Cracker series. I realise that even the best police dramas have their 'plot holes' - I mean, take 'Waking the Dead,' another one of my addictions, even this has episodes where too close a look at the story line afterwards leaves you scratching your head as to just how the script writer got away with it.
So, if you are a similarly obsessive viewer of this genre, you know these 'plot holes' are an occupational hazard in your viewing don't you.
Okay, this could have been really good. Why? Well, apparently it is based on a successful book, which usually means the story will be strong. Secondly, there is absolutely nothing to fault with the acting. Olivia Williams is excellent, although......although.....
Is anyone else getting a bit tired of seeing a female detective / police officer character who is just soooo miserable and terrified of 'relationships'? Well, I am.
It is far from the only cliché here, the entire viewing experience was made much more entertaining by actually ticking them off. You will recognise moments from every UK police drama you have seen over the past ten to fifteen years. The idiot cop who is always stuffing his face when he isn't making some sexist 'jokes' (yep, there he is.....), the 'big boss' who is always on his way to a posh dinner (yep, there he is too.....), the loony psychologist ('hello again!'), the useless blond who 'can't go to the police' but who will traipse about getting into a pickle. A 'foreigner' who is also (surprise surprise) a 'bad mother'! Police who seem very very slow at picking up on stuff / leads. The outcome should surprise us as much as the police, instead this is one of those programmes where you sit there shouting: 'How is this, that and the other not obvious to you??' Not a good sign at all.
Oh......and did I mention the weird kid? Of course there is a weird kid.......who screams very very loudly at the camera at one point.
Just feel I should warn you, because after watching the trailer felt disappointed with this. Even found myself pressing the Fast Forward button a few times, never a good sign is it. There is something 'unfinished' about it somehow, which is a shame, because it could have been so much more.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In "Case Sensitive" the performances are paramount.The actual storyline is intriguing enough but the actors take this production by the scruff of the neck and run off with it. Miss Olivia Williams is outstanding as D.S.Zailer,bruised and vulnerable,treated with patronising tolerance by her superior officer and ill - concealed disdain by some of her peers,she - like every other female detective has to be twice as good as her male colleagues just to keep her job. Rxcently transferred from the Met - hardly a by - word for sexual equality in the C.I.D. - she is still trying to deal with the after effects of a drunken sexual encounter with her new partner the wonderful Mr Darren Boyd,a performance of quiet subtlety cleverly showing his character's basic decency and modesty combined with a determination and detective ability that should have earned him a Commendation from the Chief Constable. When a woman and her daughter are found dead in the bath it soon becomes clear after a peremptory investigation that the police have decided that her husband(Mr Rupert Graves impressively strung out) is the murderer and put all their efforts towards finding evidence against him rather than keeping a more open minded approach.This kind of tunnel vision of course has accounted for several miscarriages of justice,a fact not lost on Mr Boyd who delves more deeply into the case than D.S. Zailer and her boss deem necessary. It is he rather than Zailer who opens the enquiry out,albeit her gentle humanity coaxes the final vital bit of information from a reluctant child witness. Miss Williams and Mr Boyd have a wry,subdued chemistry that could develop into something interesting and involving should ITV try to turn "Case Sensitive" into a series.They are definitely a class act. With high production values and careful casting it is clearly not done on the cheap.If the makers can hold their nerve,something very substantial could be on their hands.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I've only seen one story so far (series 2, first two episodes), and it
seems moderately good, if lacking in originality. It's the
common-or-garden English type of police series, featuring a pair of
cops, of which there have been hundreds over the years. This one adds a
watered-down Scandinavian touch. Darren Boyd's character is somewhat
akin to the female leads in The Killing and The Bridge - but not as
good. His version of slight autism/Asperger's is to act like a plank of
wood. It may not be all his fault (he has been good in other things).
However, he, the director and whoever else need to watch those
Scandinavian thrillers and weep.
The relationship between him and the female detective is weird and implausible to say the least (I won't say more, so as not to give spoilers), and her jealousy is presented in a ridiculously crass fashion.
It's worth watching, but don't expect anything memorable.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Case Sensitive seemed OK at first until right at the end. I am normally not one to watch these kind of series, but this one kept me with it somehow; The acting wasn't too bad, and the story seemed alright too. But then a huge mistake is made! Maybe I missed something but if I didn't it is pretty shocking that such a large error was missed by so many people. That no one noticed it while making these series. The breaking of the case is partially based on the secret of a little girl that she never could have told. Apparently this girl Amy told her friend how her mother died and the friend repeats it to the police officer. A very important fact in the plot. Shortly after this we are told Amy actually died together with her mum! How could she tell her secret? Very annoying to discover after watching the thing for over an hour...

Polishing Aluminium by hand
Aluminium polishing is very theraupetic as once you acheived wonderfull results you can sit back and admire your work.
For Aluminium surfaces that are in good order our Aluminium and Stainless steel polish will certainlly do the trick for you. If the Aluminium you are looking to restore is badly oxidized then you will need to use the Metal restorer first followed by the Aluminium polish.
Stage 1: Briliant Metal Restorer ( only need if aluminium has been neglected / oxidized )
Stage 2: Briliant Aluminium & Stainless Steel Polish
Stage 3: Briliant Premium Metal Polish & Micro Fibre Polishing Cloth
Liquid polishes like ours tend to perform better than pastes because they allow you to use the oxidisation that you remove as an abrasive. This means not rolling or turning your applicator cloth as the residue appears, but rubbing it in and making the residue work for you.
The oxidisation you release will be no coarser than the abrasive. Hand polishing should be smooth and directionally consistent. If places are hard to get into by all means employ a tooth brush, but wrap the bristles with cloth or they'll scratch your finish. Another trick for getting into tight areas is to trim down an iced lollipop stick and wrap that with soft cloth. Make sure you tear the labels off of your cloths (if using old teeshirts) as they can scratch like you wouldn't believe. It is easiest to do about a quarter of the wheel at a time, and this normally gets the best results. So don't go crazy and do it all in one hit (you'll probably get hazy bits if you do).
When you are happy with the results and have an even shine over the whole wheel, stage 2 is to continue polishing with our Aluminium & Stainless polish metal polish which will quickly increase the intensity of the shine on the wheel, again use soft cotton cloth to apply and finish buffing with a micro fiber cloth.
Stage 3 finishes the process by using our Premium Metal Polish to acheive the deepest possible shine. Then finish polishing with a micro fibre polishing cloth or micro fiber mop this will leave you with gleaming mirror finish alloy wheels..... polishing aluminium & alloy wheels has never been easier, nor has the shine ever lasted so long.

Alex Green Hamilton & Inches Christmas Display
Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to get into the festive spirit than Alex Green's large scale illustration for Edinburgh based, high end family owned jewellers, Hamilton & Inches.
Commissioned by Art Director Anais Dimech at Illustrated London News, the brief was to create a wintery Christmas scene of the city, comprising many famous landmarks in the same image.
As it was impossible to accurately show these landmarks in the same image, Green set about making a drawing that completely remodelled the layout of Edinburgh, whilst trying to capture the spirit and tone of the place. Alex used photographic reference of the city and distant memories of his last visit, some 28 years ago to build the illustration.
Once he had arranged the locations, creating false roads and spaces, he let his imagination do the rest. It was very important to include the company's purple in the final image and after going through several colour schemes including a warm pink version of the image, which detracted somewhat from the purple, he arrived at a fairly atonal image. p>
The image was then printed and spliced in several places to set a backdrop for the company's stunning Christmas display. Very festive!

TV reporter fired and arrested for POOING on lawn during news story
THIS television news reporter was obviously desperate for a scoop when he decided do a poo in public.
It was Jonathan Lowe who became the story after he took a dump on a criminal suspect's front lawn.
Lowe, 33, relieved himself outside the home of former footie star Patrick Zane Thompson, 58, accused of sacrificing his pet poodle by putting the poor animal in a smoker.
Horrified neighbours called the cops after spotting Lowe, a journalist for KPHO news in Phoenix, Arizona, pull his pants down and defecating on the grass.
He was arrested at the scene and has since been given the boot by furious network bosses.
Goodyear Police Department spokeswoman Lisa Kutis told the Phoenix New Times: "Lowe chose to use the front yard of a residence to relieve himself.
"Lowe chose to use the front yard of a residence to relieve himself"Goodyear Police Department spokesperson
"An onlooker from across the street called it in to officers. They approached him, he said he'd had to relieve himself, and they arrested him."
Urinating or defecating in Phoenix can result in a $2500 fine or six months in prison.
Lowe has deleted all of his social media accounts following his bizarre behaviour.
Thompson, a former Arizona State University player, allegedly broke his poodle's neck before throwing it into the "lake of fire" to atone for his teenage daughter's "devil-inspired" t-shirt.
Cops reportedly found the barbecue restaurant boss lying on the pavement claiming "the devil made him do it".
Thompson, thought to have had a mental breakdown due to stress, now faces charges of animal cruelty and assault.

Expect a salary increase this year
The first quarter of the year is almost over, and if you haven't heard about your annual bonus or job promotion, don't feel let down just yet because there may be something else to look forward to this year.
According to a recruitment platform, many companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are actually planning to give out across-the-board pay increases of between five and 15 per cent this year.
Those planning the increments are in various industries including oil and gas, construction and engineering, automotive and business process outsourcing.
The latest Hiring Outlook Survey by Naukrigulf.com, which surveyed the human resources heads of 60 companies in the Gulf, showed that nearly half (49 per cent) of the employers will grant five to ten per cent salary adjustments in 2012.
About 20 per cent confirmed plans to grant increments ranging between ten and 15 per cent. A small portion, 13 per cent, said they will increase their staff wages by less than five per cent.
A little over half of the companies surveyed are from the UAE, while the rest of the respondents are from Saudi Arabia (21.43 per cent) and other GCC states (23.21 per cent).
According to Naukrigulf, the planned wage adjustments are a strong indication of the general positive sentiment among employers in the region.
Boost in sentiment
"The overall economy is witnessing some boost in the sentiment primarily because of the rise in oil prices and government increasing their spends in the economy.
Also, local consumer demand is on a continuous increase," Tarun Aggarwal, business head of Naukrigulf.com, told Gulf News.
Given the positive mood among employers, it appears that there are more companies who have decided to be more generous this year. In 2011, only 38 per cent of the recruiters announced plans to grant pay increments within the range of five and ten per cent, while 15 per cent said the salary hikes would be less than five per cent.
Hiring scenario appears to be good
The hiring scenario in the first half of 2012 also looks positive, with 77 per cent of the recruiters across the GCC planning to offer new jobs over the next few months.
Tarun Aggarwal of Naukrigulf.com said they expect increased hiring from oil and gas, construction and engineering, IT and telecom and retail sectors.
Most of the companies (53 per cent) expect hiring increase in the four to eight-year experience bracket, while only a few (16 per cent) will be looking for applicants with more than 15 years experience.
Although seven per cent of the recruiters anticipated some layoffs and seven per cent said there will be no hiring, Aggarwal said the overall recruitment scene looks promising.
"The region is witnessing a positive hiring environment, especially in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This may not be the best time for hiring activity, but the sentiment is optimistic and most companies will be increasing their headcount over the next six months," he said.

Yes so very right .my mother is a teacher and is working since last 7 years and still gets gets 3900Aed and my college fees is approx 3000Aed. and my younger brother has to pay 15oo as his school fees.Its a strain for my parents to meet ends at times.Salary for teachers should increase as that will improve the standard of living and help us to save- the main reason why we have left our homeland.Teachers are our guide and facilitators and we are what we are because of them.
SanaMar 10, 2012 2:07
The salary should be increase for school teachers. And it is a must when they raised the school fee. A teacher will be giving their best when they are paid well. 4000dh is nothing to afford a family here. A teacher is building a generation. If he is in pathetic condition what can you expect? My husband is a teacher and he is on a part time job after school because its not possible to just depend on the salary.
HaiderMar 10, 2012 1:55
With Schools fees increased by upto 30% and commodities rising every week .. even a 25% rise is salaries (if any) is not enough. Standard of living in many countries are improving and has detoriated in the UAE. You may still enjoy an amazing life-style only at the expense of reduced savings.
Mathew LittyMar 10, 2012 1:38
I have read these highlights even before and this is not some thing new. Thanks for the motivation though , lets see how things work . The Situation right now in some of the company's is worse and some sectors are a bit tight. when i was in my previous company that used to give me a headache i was having a feeling whether i would be asked to leave one fine day as there is no job security. Companys still don't have the salary to pay for their employees so where is the salary hike going to come up? You need to be lucky enough to work in a company that supports you , takes care of you and motivates you. Ask any one out here who is happy with their job? Ask any one whether there is a job security and whether they get a salary hike. I worked in my previous company for 4 years and all what i got was an increment of AED 100 every year. that's it??????? Taking the cost of living and the standard of living into consideration all of us are desperate for money and with out money you cant survive. If company's dont have good business and don't meet customer demands and expectations, where will the money come from? The reason why employees shift from one company to another is due to lack of rewards , bonus, benefits and poor salary package that hardly increase which is why i decided to make a move to a new company that is far better than my previous company. Employees will look for better prospects if the company does not pay them well but will force them to stay back putting in those extra hours to do their donkeys job just to finish the job. I for sure, would not like to work for a company that pays you "peanuts" in spite of all the hard work and efforts. For those who are working in huge multi national company's and govt company's are lucky enough. You work or else leave is the tendency in most of the organizations. In order to pay your employees more, do hire staff that have the mentality and the interest to work so that they are loyal to the customer and go that extra mile of getting in business rather than paying staff who don't work but instead simply come to the office, walk around drinking tea and coffee, smoking every hour, taking part in "office politics".

Stratford Shakespeare Festival, CUSO-VSO, and the town of Suchitoto, El Salvador (right) have launched the "Sharing a Dream" project. It is a multi-year project that will see the development of an arts centre in Suchitoto; it will be a performance venue that will draw patrons from nearby San Salvador and from abroad, but also as an educational institution that will provide youth from war-torn El Salvador – and eventually other countries in the Americas – with hope and opportunity for a better life.
It is a cultural and economic revitailzation in the same vein that Tom Patterson and Tyrone Guthrie engineered for Stratford 58 years ago.

text: I am really torn now, I have trawled the web, read bucket loads of hype, baskets of criticism, and even lots of positive reviews but I am now torn and undecided just what to buy, except that I am not prepared to pay the premium to be locked into Apple or any other, I have read the posts here and a bunch of other Android locations but opinions seem inconclusive. These are the criteria for me because I travel extensively and pretty much continuously around Europe 1) Good Battery life / easy rapid charging (I generally carrying a spare battery and solar charger though). 2) Good conference call capabilities. 3) Navigation. 4) Bluetooth sync with car (Kenwood system primarily). 5) Skype / E-Mail access. 6) Pocket sized, preferably shirt pocket. 7) Absolutely no sim locks and no branding. 8) Decent camera (don't need SLR standards but got to be better than the POS on the iPhone / Blackberry's). I don't care about music or video streaming. I am not asking which is the best for me to buy because handsets like many things are a personal thing, what one likes another won't. Instead is it possible for owners of Android based phones (particularly those running OS 2.1) could post their positives and negatives.

My wife and I are coming to SF (from Toronto) for our 20th. Thanks to other CH threads, I've discovered: Tadich (2pm late lunch of cioppino at the bar), House of Nanking (spicy chicken), Incanto (almost everything), Bar Crudo (raw fish), Sotto Mar (sandabs / cioppino) and Nick's Crispy Tacos (fish tacos). Haven't even looked into street food yet.
Budget isn't an issue, but there is nothing worse than paying big bucks for mediocre food. We have a car but love to walk and explore, so anywhere within 3 miles of South Beach is fine.
Any suggestions for authentic or unique or special SF fare ?

The Foo Fighters have been forced to cancel their headline slot at Glastonbury Festival.
The rock group have announced that they will no longer be able to perform at the British festival as well as dates in Belgium, Edinburgh and London's iconic Wembley Stadium after frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg on stage last week.
In a post on their official website, the 46-year-old musician wrote: "It kills me to say it.....the doctors have told us to cancel shows. I'm really so sorry, guys. You know I hate to do it, but I'm afraid it's just not physically possible for me at the moment.
"We're doing our best right now to work out a plan, so bear with us. You know we're good for our word. But for now, I need to make sure we have YEARS of gigs ahead of us.... (sic)"
During his open letter to fans, Dave also recalled the accident which left him with six metal screws in his leg.
He wrote: "I definitely shredded something (ZING!) Wound up feet first over the Edge (pun intended), dropping about 12 feet, dislocating my ankle and snapping my fibula like an old pair of take out chopsticks. Whoopsie daisy. Not good ...
"As I lay there on my back, I just thought, "Are you kidding me? We haven't even gotten to the screamy bit of the song and the gig is f***ing OVER?" So, I asked for a microphone and told the audience I'd get fixed up and come right back to finish the show ASAP. Shock? Probably. But, I couldn't stand the thought of such a perfect night going to waste! (sic)"
In a statement, organisers at Glastonbury Festival have sent Dave their well-wishes.
They said: "We wish Dave Grohl all the best for a full and speedy recovery."

Run! It's a STAMPEDE! Taking on a classic as widely adored as Jumanji is a bold move, but with The Rock on board, it's likely to cause a stampede at the box office. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has had experience getting wild in movies such as Welcome to the Jungle, although my favorite incident of The Rock's jungle-tastic fun and games was probably his spoof spot on SNL.
From the ridiculous to the sublime, we segue from The Rock making us laugh to making us think. The sensitive strongman recently shared this impassioned post about something very special he and the new Jumanji cast went through. The cast were blessed by a Kahu (a Hawaiian priest), and The Rock's words speak volumes about how deeply touched he was by the experience:
"Before we embark our 'JUMANJI' journey here in Hawaii, we gathered our entire cast (here with me are Jack Black, Kevin Hart, our director Jake Kasdan and Karen Gillian) and crew together as our Hawaiian Kahu (priest) Cordell Keka blesses our film with powerful aloha spirit of laughter, enjoyment and love.I often talk about mana (spirit) with you guys and the mana in this room/in this moment was extremely powerful - it can take your breath away and give you goosebumps like crazy. (I was low key ready to run thru a wall in this moment;). Our Kahu eloquently spoke and reminded us that even though our faces are the ones on screen, it takes an AMAZING CREW OF EVERYONE to make this movie work. And when we get tired from long work hours to always remember the joy, laughter and fun our movie will bring to families around the world. So simple, but such a great reminder to keep that perspective of bringing joy and fun to families. Very cool. Thank you Kahu Cordell Keka for this powerful blessing, thank you Hawaii - proud to be back home and THANK YOU in advance to our hard working crew."
