Who will win the Dance Gold at the GPF. It seems there are only 2 obvious candidates.
Who will win the Dance Gold at the GPF. It seems there are only 2 obvious candidates.
I really hope Virtue & Moir win as this is the one prize that has eluded them. However it looks like Davis & White events to take from the scores thus far, with Virtue & Moir possibly like last year improving and coming back at that after that.
Must have been my subconsious mind; I immediately clicked on V&M and couldn't correct the mistake. If the poll was who I want to win it would be V&M but I think D&W will.
V/M will win, it's obvious
I want VM to win it, but I think DW will.
I voted for V/M but that's more wishful thinking than probability unfortunately.
Addicted to FSU
It would be nice to think it was open & not a two couple race but it will be between D/W & V/M even if there are errors.
I think and hope Meryl/Charlie will win
I think it may come down to the technical panel. If they are harsh and picky, then I think it could benefit V/M but if they are easier I could see it tilting the other way. That being said, I am wishing for V/M cause I'd like to see them win the GPF but I'm really not sure how to vote -- head or heart? Aw shucks, who am I kidding -- I'll go with my heart
Crazy about sports!
I hope Virtue and Moir. But of course, it can be Davis & White, and why not Pechalat & Bourzat !
V&M are not exactly underdogs guys. They have never "owned" this event like D&W, but I think they will win. Head to head, I hope and believe the judges will score the PCS accurately between the two couples to reflect the difficulty and innovation of Carmen and the excellent interpretation displayed by V&M.
V&M have not won the GPF before, but that does not mean they are underdogs here. As the reigning Olympic and world champions, they are going to be the favorites here. So I voted for them. For Davis & White, I would rather see them regain their world title. GPF does not mean that much.
I think untill WCh judges will respect V-M more, but for now i think they want to see D-W on the top, like this alwayse be, but usually V-M didnt give judges a chance to put them under D-W.
Will see what will happened this time. I wish V-M will win GPF, but think this will be D-W. But good luck to all skaters!
D/W will win most likely. They have much higher scores than V/M so far. I wonder if P/B might even be able to beat V/M here..
^If you look at scores over the past year, P/B are creeping up on V/M and D/W. I think P/B's high score this season is actually closer to V/M than C/L and B/S behind them. While I believe both NA teams still have the advantage, it's nice to see someone getting close(r) and making it more interesting. BTW, I don't like P/B's FD music this year.
I'd love for Virtue and Moir to win because they don't have this title yet but I actually hope they will peak at Worlds as per usual.
Wee... incredibly touch choice ... sigh.... I love watching both V&M and D&W. They are both fit and on top of their game. I will just toss the coin.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
I'm like Carmen O. I think D&W will win, and I want V&M to win, but I did vote that way and gave it to D&W.

Every winter, across from Lithia Park, a seemingly simple parking lot turns into one of the hottest attractions in downtown Ashland. The Ashland Rotary Centennial Ice Rink, open until Feb. 26, is popular with everyone from toddlers clinging to their parents' legs to pro skaters, gliding over the ice like fish slipping through water.
The first element you'll notice if you go to the rink is the glassy white ice and a large blue Zamboni machine, waiting at ease for when it will be needed to smooth out the surface. The ice iron doesn't idle for long, considering the hordes of people who huddle in the rink most nights. Music, from Jimi Hendrix to modern pop songs and ballroom dance, fills the air, competing with the sounds of laughter and people talking. Insert yourself into this jumble and it makes for the perfect winter evening or afternoon diversion.
Located at 95 Winburn Way, the rink has a facility that rents skates, from kid-sized up to adult size 13, and sells gloves, hats and hot chocolate. A small cafe is also on the premises. Plus, the playground is right across the street, which is a great escape for apres-skating playtime.
An Ashland Day is a series of photo-driven looks at Ashland outdoor activities. To share your favorite place to go or thing to do, email email@example.com.
The hours vary daily. Check out the Ashland Parks and Rec department or www.ashland.or.us/Files/IceRinkSchedule_NovDec12-13_Online.pdf for more information.

I currently have an old PC that's really to become a NAS to hold all my music and feed a few Squeezeboxes; my goal is to run it headless, but I can use a monitor/mouse/keyboard to set it up if needed. The last PC server I built a year ago used VortexBox, but I didn't like it. It kept having issues, and I kept having issues logging on to it when the unit would have errors, which left me very frustrated. Right now the PC has a fresh version of Windows XP which I may use with the Squeezebox Server and remote log-in if I can find a better option.
Does anyone have an recommendations of a good and low maintenance solution I can use as I only need to store and be able to access the music; like a NAS. I am not using this as an HTPC, and would prefer to just drag and drop files onto it from my main PC after I rip of download them.
Thanks for the help!

Packers Ticket Info
The Green Bay Packers were dominant in some stretches during the course of last season. Its no secret that they have one of the most potent offenses in the league thanks to arguably the most talented quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. The Packers had no difficult putting up points last season, frequently scoring over 30 and once reaching 55 against the Tennessee Titans. The real room for improvement for the team that calls Lambeau Field home is on the defensive side of the ball. In their loss to the 49ers in the NFL Playoffs, the Pack surrendered 45 points and were not able to keep up with Colin Kaepernick and San Fran. The Packers have high expectations again for this season and will look to make it two championships in three years with a title this season. Order your Green Bay Packers tickets today and check them out as the take on the rest of the league this season.
The Green Bay Packers roster has been blessed with some of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, starting of course with Bart Starr and then Brett Favre and now Aaron Rodgers. This is the team to beat in the NFL this season, and they have one of the best offenses the league has ever seen. At GoTickets, you can take your pick of tickets for any game on the 2013 Green Bay Packers schedule, including home games against the Bears, Lions, Vikings, Redskins, Browns, Falcons, and Steelers. No matter what games you want to see this season, you can rely on GoTickets to have a huge selection of Green Bay Packers seats at the best prices.
Even when the Packers went through some lean seasons it was tough to get Lambeau Field tickets and every game was sold out before the season even started. So now that they are a perennial Super Bowl team and have a future Hall of Famer in quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Packers football tickets are almost impossible to find. But at GoTickets, we have great Packers tickets for every game, including GB Packers playoff tickets and Super Bowl tickets.

THE Irish Football Association is delighted to announce that it has extended its' charity partnership with Marie Curie Cancer Care for another year.
Irish FA Head of Marketing and Communications, Geoff Wilson said: "I am very happy to announce Marie Curie as the Association's charity for 2013. Last year there was some great success in building awareness of the charity through collections at games and other fundraising events. We will continue to give the full support of the Irish FA to Marie Curie Cancer Care. I can only hope that local football supporters will continue to support this wonderful charity throughout 2013."
Marie Curie Cancer Care cares for people with terminal cancer and other life limiting illnesses in their own homes across Northern Ireland and in the Marie Curie Cancer Care hospice in Belfast.
Marie Curie nurses provide free care for patients at home, giving people the choice to be nursed in their own homes, with their loved ones.
Corporate Development Manager for Marie Curie, Anne Hannan said: 'It is an absolute delight to be the Irish FA charity again for 2013. We were really hoping to get it again and all the staff are so pleased.
"In 2012 we started to build a relationship with the Irish FA; now we can take this a step further and try and get even more involvement. The Irish FA is huge; it is hard to engage all the clubs and supporters in just one year."
Anne continued: "Being the official charity for 2013 gives Marie Curie many more public opportunities for us to reach out to people and explain how we help people who are ill with cancer. We can collect at matches, these are on Sky Sports and get so much media coverage – it is brilliant for us as we could not do that on our own. We even had some Northern Ireland supporters trek Cambodian to raise money last year and members of the Irish FA ran the Belfast Marathon all for our cause.
"We can assure you that this money will benefit the local Marie Curie Cancer Care nursing service and help our wonderful nurses provide specialist nursing care to people with terminal illnesses and give them the choice of spending their last days in their own home surrounded by the people and things they love. Marie Curie nurses provide care at any time of the day or overnight, looking after patients and their families to accommodate their physical, social, spiritual and psychological needs.
"The Irish FA has said their aim is to sponsor a Marie Curie nurse – this costs £19,000. So far they have raised £11,000 in 2012 and we have high hopes 2013 will get the same results. On behalf of Marie Curie I would like to thank the Irish FA for all the support, and also anyone who donated to Marie Curie in 2012, I cannot thank you enough."

Womens Plus Size Dresses & Fashion Clothing
It feels so exhilarating to know that you have a wonderful event to go to and have the perfect outfit to wear. So often it can be a drama to accept a fantastic invitation only because of the fear of having a major fashion crisis leading up to the night.
I have to say that I no longer decline an invite to any gathering. However, I used to always say no because I am a larger women and finding larger women's clothing has always been a terrible task for me. Not any more! I have now found some fantastic fashions in the larger sizes and have learned some amazing tips to help me highlight my favourite body features and mask those that I don't feel so good about.
Plus size fashion for women has changed in the past few years and designers are now starting to understand the psyche of the larger women. They relate to our need to enjoy the good times and that we too want to wear fun and fashionable clothing.
It has never been so easy to find a perfect plus size outfit. Whether it's for a formal event or just a casual Sunday with my girlfriends, I know I don't have to turn down an offer to go out and have fun.
It's an A plus for those wonderful fashion people who have created such a great range of clothes in the larger sizes. I am enjoying my life and I have to say it's all thanks to my fabulous plus size threads.
Ladies Plus Sizes Dresses & Clothing
Larger women have found that finding evening wear has become an all too difficult exercise. Not only are the items incredibly hard to find and often not very fashionable, but they are often extremely ill fitting meaning they end up in sizes either too small or way too big.
A well made evening dress should always fit any body type nicely and make any woman feel beautiful - even a larger lady. It's important to find evening wear to extenuate your best features and hides those that aren't so great. You can always test this by using a mirror to identify which parts of your body your own eyes are drawn to. For example, if you know that your best feature is your neckline but when looking in the mirror you notice your hips as the most prominent area, you can rest assure that that particular dress is not the one for you. In this case, try something with a v-neck. If your best feature is your shoulders, then a strapless gown may work best. Once you know what to look for, then the process becomes less complicated.
To look and feel your best in any garment, particularly an evening dress you should always choose simple cuts like an A-line or sheath dress and select fabrics that hang well over your curves. Colour choice is also an important factor. Dark colours (such as black or navy), for the plus size woman are a safe choice as they can appear slimming, however don't be afraid to add a splash of colour for additional contrast and a bit of life. Not only can darker colours often be inappropriate for certain occasions but they can also become a bit of a clothing crutch.
Finding a stylish evening dress does not have to be a daunting and painful experience. By using the above tips, it will become an easier task and you can start to feel more confident in your appearance and your overall sense of well being. You can then begin to experiment using accessories - but remember, keep it simple!
Womens Plus Size Clothes
Fuller figured women have been around since time began and it seems that the most often used term to refer to them is "plus size"
Now I suppose that there's not a whole lot wrong with term but it's not unusual to find that some women find the term a little offensive.
While the term is not disastrously offensive and there's no doubt that there are worse options that might have become the most popularly used term (such as bigger girls or fat girls) this label isn't a particularly affirmative one. The reality is that it tends to create a negative feeling and certainly detracts from the sense of fun and pleasure of the shopping experience that we women love so much!
It's perfectly natural for women to enjoy the experience of setting out either on their own or with friends to shop for new and gorgeous things for themselves; there is something uplifting about the whole shopping thing.
Maybe we women should try to separate the way we look in our clothes from our sense of self worth.
It is indisputable that when a woman is wearing clothes that she feels particularly good in for whatever reason, she will radiate confidence and positive energy. This is especially true of "plus sized" women. When you are a fuller figured woman it's not so easy to find clothes that make you feel so good because the choices are so limited, but when she does find that outfit that fits and feels fabulous you will find that she positively glows.
Why then do so many fashion labels take the shine off this feeling by labeling garments on tags and neck labels with those awful "Plus Size" words?
You have to see those words often enough without having them invade your home space as well...i.e. in the laundry when do the ironing and every time you put the clothes on or take them off.
Some manufactures are coming to understand that while it's important for a larger sized female to know that she is shopping with a label that is focused on her body shape she doesn't have to have it thrust in her face. When was the last time you saw a regular size fashion store identify itself with the term "Regular Size" or "Average Size" fashion...I bet the answer is never.
In a world of political correctness surely we can come up with some more imaginative and inspiring terms for this group of women who have come to be identified with the "plus sizes" label.
Women's "Plus Womens Sizes" and Ladies Larger Size Clothing
It used to be that everywhere you would go you'd see shop windows displaying stick, thin mannequins wearing the latest fashion outfits. Well, now days they're not the only ones selling great fashion collections and many shop fronts are now featuring real shaped mannequins and stocking larger sizes for woman.
Larger women's clothing was often difficult to find and not very many outlets stocked large sizes. However those that did, had a very limited range, very few sizes and the styles were very dull, drab and frumpy. No wonder plus size women had something to complain about.
Thankfully these days the stores are now carrying a wider range in plus size women's fashion. There are heaps of pages on the internet dedicated to the larger sizes and more and more recognizable designers are seeing the light and starting to incorporate larger sizes in their collection.
The best part is that smaller manufacturerers are catching on too. Now, when you go shopping at any shopping centre, the chance of being able to locate an outfit in larger sizes has become much greater. How wonderful for the fuller figured woman!
Plus size women's fashion has become so popular that there are stores committed to just stocking plus sized clothes. The best thing about this though is that the choice in styles, colours and fabrics has increased dramatically and the demand for the larger sizes has never been so well received.
Women have never been happier. At last there is some relief for the fuller figured woman who loves fashion and is just as in love with the process of shopping for clothes.

Your Comments
Please tell Gordon that as he
Please tell Gordon that as he looses his hearing he does not have to stop hearing the world around him. The hearing experience becomes less about 'first hand' listening and you learn to use modern tools like hearing aids and headphones.
I was born in 1956 and early in my childhood I contracted an ear infection; many ear infections. There was one infection that my mother could not control and we went back to the doctor (not a specialist, a family practioner in the neighborhood) who looked in my ear to see swollen eardrums. There in the office he 'surgically' punctured my eardrums to allow them to drain.
I don't remember much of anything about that procedure but I remember the following days of pain at the slightest sharp noise. An old spring closed, wooden screen door was explosive.
Move ahead to my 40's. I did not fully recover my hearing due to scarred eardrums. Men and some women in my father's line experience nerve deafness. I finally got a job with insurance benefits. My first hearing aid was primitive by todays' standard, but I felt a sense of childish wonder. I had heard bird song before but never this clearly nor this many. I have known the song of the Eastern Meadow Lark, our state bird, but I had never heard the whole song. Going back to the woods was splendid.
I was also overwhelmed. I felt I had to wear the aids whenever I was awake. There was so much sound. Appliances make so much, so many sounds. For several weeks cars that were several blocks away sounded as if they were going to run over me. And the dogs!
I wanted to hear my wife and my children and not ask them to repeat. Now I could hear them outside and upstairs and the neighbors also. I discovered I am not nearly as stealthy as I fancied.
I learned to turn them off. One day a week on the weekend I do not put them in for several hours. It was hard to return to the normal world of sound after thirty years. Quietness is good for mental and emotional health. Having these experiences helped me rediscover this. Thanks for your work. cam

This strip adorned my refrigerator for many many years. A few too many moves, it's gone. I hope someone can find it. So far Google has not helped. It's worth looking for. HT
This was a lovely way to
This was a lovely way to start a weekend day. I was on the way to a horse show, with lots of artificial sounds, but I found myself listening to the way the distant birdsounds of the early morning gave way to the footfalls of the horses. That other stuff? The trucks, cell phone rings, loudspeaker, shouting? Noisier than usual.
Thanks for an excellent show.
The episode might justly be
The episode might justly be subtitled, "Grace notes." The winter wren, the Hoh's echoing, Krista's questions & Girdon's observations wove a story of homecoming and belonging to silence that moved me to tears . . . . I couldn't help but think of John O'Donnaghue and some of his thoughts on silence and solitude and homecoming. Anyhow, thank you for bringing healing sounds to my day.
Just hearing On Being tonight
Just hearing On Being tonight, July 8. I love this topic; I love the silence, and sounds, of nature. Also, I resonate with the idea of my church being outdoors, not in a building. Fabulous discussion. Thank you, Mr. Hempton and Ms. Tippett!
This interview really
This interview really resonates.
I enjoyed many of the observations. Gordon Hempton is helping us to experience the joys of ephemeral treasures.
On the other hand, I disagree that "focusing (or listening for a specific sound) is a form of controlled impairment..." This sounds odd as he filters with headphones and a focusing-microphone to selectively pick and choose, like a real artist -I might add.
Although it is clever rhetoric, I also disagree with the oversimplified notion that
"Silence is not an absence of sound; it is an absence of noise."
This is convenient in order to romanticize sound, as in the poetics of trains..., etc., but less sound does contribute to the quality of quietude.
Also, do we really hear birdsong as mere "music"? Although music may be the language of sound, language is not necessarily musical; it may be appreciated for other qualities. This could digress into old debates of Form or Function, Substance or Style, Beauty or Truth…CONTENT or CONTEXT…
My focused thoughts are: Silence or Tranquility, Quiet or Tranquility, Nature or Domestic. There is mention of DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, yet the only ones who seem to be actively seeking it are those who are pushed over the edge. They foolishly end up incarcerated from resorting to physical action after some altercation due to fireworks, barking dogs, loud music, loud parties, etc.
I wonder if your Olympic
I wonder if your Olympic Peninsula is really quieter than the Coastal Redwoods? I totally agree with your commitment to silence, but it really is not silence, but rather the absence of man-made noise. I have connected to Bernie Krause (The Great Animal Orchestra) and wonder how your work intersects with his .I invite you to visit our ranch, a place Bernie deems one of the last bastions of unpolluted natural sounds. I think this might be an addition to your list of quiet places.
This was a fascinating
This was a fascinating podcast - I'm really interesting in listening. Though I disagree with Hempton's illusive definition of silence. He tends to define it as it works for him. His definition isn't about silence, but about sounds that work for him - albeit nice sounds! (not man made). A person who for the past several years really has been studying and writing about and performing "listening" and who understands that some spaces that are less noisy than others (none are silent) - is Pauline Oliveros and the Deep Listening Institute that she founded. Fascinating stuff - I recommend her and the institute to any person who is interested in "Deep Listening." I think her take on listening makes more sense, or at least is less biased than Hempton's view. See: http://www.deeplistening.org/site/content/home (I also think Pauline would be an interesting interview for Krista on the show "On Being."
I am in the quiet car on
I am in the quiet car on Milwaukee North Line Metra train to Union Station Chicago ... My favorite time of the day ... I am reading Eckhart Tolle's --Power of Now-- when I listened to this podcast on my Sunday Morning dog walk I was struck by the similarities of the message to find your self in silence and to find your self in the Now. That God is revealed in the one square inch of silence between the past and the future and how difficult it is to find that spot but once found it begins to expand and if you practice being mindful it can fill your entire being with light ... But there I was with earbuds listening it the interview missing the chance to be in the now with the birds and other creatures of the alleys I walk with my dogs ... But I have no other free time to listen to Krista ... Oh the choices we must make ... And I also love trains
This is the second time I
This is the second time I have listened to this show and am equally enthralled by the presenter and his work. Thank you for rebroadcasting this gem of an interview!
Isn't it funny that you hear
Isn't it funny that you hear a wonderful show like this on WNYC.ORG, the NYC public radio station, on how we are STARVED for silence in this country ... and then later you hear (ad naseum) ads by wnyc.org but that say, "WNYC ... NEVER TURN IT OFF" and other ads that trumpet how you can now take WNYC.org ANYWHERE -- with the examples being the High Line (a park on an abandoned elevated railroad track in Manhattan) and some wonderful place of nature (the Grand Canyon?).
I really enjoyed this episode
I really enjoyed this episode. I am eager to seek out the silence. Where I live, in suburbia, there is very little of this (think lawn mowers and water pumps at 7:00AM on a Saturday). :)
Good times!

I've been going on day hikes
I've been going on day hikes on the weekend to get away from the city and debrief from the week. This past weekend I listened to this podcast during the ride up to Northern Michigan. I had goosebumps the whole drive listening to Gordon talk about silence. There's so much noise in my life. Not just aural, but electronic and emotional noise. I need more silence to stay grounded, and escaping into nature fulfills this need.
This conversation was so
This conversation was so uplifting. It was food for my soul. My heart is filled with joy and gratitude that people like Krista and Gordon exist!

In 2009, I led a day camp for teenagers at the Canadian Centre for Architecture called 'Slow Teen.' One of the highlights of a very rich (and fun!) week together was when we turned one of rooms of the museum into a camera obscura. The teenagers entered in silence and (without our having to instruct them) they stayed in that silence for the hour we were there. The peace was palpable, mesmerizing... and nobody wanted to leave that space.

Like-Minded Conversations
Poetry is something many of us seem to be hungry for these days. We're hungry for fresh ways to tell hard truths and redemptive stories, for language that would elevate and embolden rather than demean and alienate. Elizabeth Alexander shares her sense of what poetry works in us — and in our children — and why it may become more relevant, not less so, in hard and complicated times.
Joanna Macy is a philosopher of ecology, a Buddhist scholar, and an exquisite translator of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. We take that poetry as a lens on her wisdom on spiritual life and its relevance for the political and ecological dramas of our time.

At first I thought it was my old reciever. I thought well its a crapy reciever so the stereo setting is just not that good.
Well now the new reciever when I play it in stereo sounds the same, its like unless you put it on Dolby II you never hear that crisp clean sound. Now please someone tell me I'm wrong and that stereo is supposed to sound muffuled. I want to switch to stereo and hear crisp clean sound but only from the two front.
Makes me wonder why amplify the fronts if stereo will just sound louder muffled.
Anyone else with the same problem. Let me know if 7.1 reciever are not meant to play stereo. Thanks.

BUENOS AIRES (AFP) - Martin Palermo's goal two minutes into second-half stoppage time lifted Argentina past doormat Peru 2-1 in World Cup qualifying, rescuing the South Africa dreams of Diego Maradona's side.
After being booed off the field following a goal-less first half and looking undone after Peru equalized in the final seconds of regulation time, Argentina is now the team to beat for the last automatic World Cup spot in South America.
Gonzalo Higuain took a pass from Pablo Aimar and scored from an angle in the 48th minute to give Argentina a 1-0 lead.
But Peru, a side with two wins in 17 final-round qualifying matches, stunned the hosts in the 90th minute when Hernan Rengifo neaded home an equalizer in a driving wind and rain.
Much-crtiticized Diego Maradona, the retired star player whose rocky tenure as coach would be considered an epic failure if Argentina misses the World Cup, found salvation thanks to Palmero, who entered in the second half.
Argentina improved to 7-6 with four drawn in qualifying for 25 points entering a showdown match next Wednesday at Uruguay, which won 2-1 at Ecuador to remain on Argentina's heels at 6-5 with six drawn and 24 points.
Whichever side wins will book the last automatic spot in the World Cup finals, joining Brazil, Paraguay and Chile.
The loser would need help to hold off Ecuador for fifth place, which would book a berth against North America's fourth-place finisher to decide a berth in South Africa.
Should Argentina and Uruguay draw, Argentina would have the edge for the last automatic spot while Ecuador would need to rout Chile to overcome a goal-difference edge for Argentina and nudge them out of fourth.

Svindal almost had that Super G and made a mistake two gates from home, doh. The French guy was actually a substitute for the team due to injury. Unexpected results!
This Swiss men have been poor without Couche and Feuz, but if Austria gets no downhill medal either they will not be happy (Italy seems to have had the most success after Svindal this season though). Of course Hirscher will be a major favorite for the technical events - I really hope his rivalry with Ted Ligety in the giant slalom continues through Sochi.
In other winter sports - biathlon world champs start today with the mixed relay!

Video Codec: AVC@ 34 MBPS

Director: Pierre Morel
Starring Cast: Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen
DIGITAL COPY of the film included
Some marketing materials for this outrageous, edge-of-your-seat Liam Neeson thriller proclaimed "Move Over, Jason Bourne!" and indeed, Neeson kicks mucho ass in this...so much so that some parallel him and can envision him as a 007 down the line...with some British accent lessons, of course.
Theatrically, Taken didn't succeed, and that was a head-scratcher because this was one of the most entertaining films -- let alone action pictures -- of the past few months. Making the theatrical launch very bittersweet for Mr. Neeson was the fact that his wife had died while they were on a ski vacation I believe it was...right before the film had opened in box offices everywhere.
But oh, how Neeson just fit like a glove in this role...the plot tells a rather brief 90-minute run time story about Neeson's character, who is a retired special agent spy with Jason Bourne and James Bond-like training, and who has become overtly paranoid from his time during his missions. He is divorced from the sexy Famke Janssen (House on Haunted Hill) and brings his paranoia and over-protectiveness to his daughter's world; the daughter, played by Maggie Grace, is a teenager now living with her new stepfather, a seemingly wealthy balding putz who owns a mansion and throws birthday parties for Grace that Nicky Hilton would be jealous of...almost. There's a sense of competition between the two fathers; Neeson brings Grace a GPX-brand karaoke machine for her birthday, and the stepfather buys her a horse which she rides around in front of her friends. And the ex-wife? Janssen plays the ultra-bitch she's so good at playing in things like House on Haunted Hill.
At first, you wouldn't think the rather semi-aging Neeson could pull off a role such as this...but as the action heats up, his performance as a martial arts-laden superspy is one you simply have to experience to appreciate. A group of Neeson's also retired spy friends tell him about a job they want to include him on, which involves private protection for a pop diva singer. Neeson agrees, and is assigned direct protection in the girl's dressing room. When the singer is attacked by an armed assailant, we see Neeson's training come into action for the first time -- and he puts this guy down as fast as Steven Seagal. There's a connection between Neeson's daughter wanting to be a pop singer and this girl he's protecting; after Neeson saves her life, she gives up her manager and vocal coach's contact information for his daughter. Those kinds of chances don't come every day.
The plot begins to come alive when Neeson meets Grace at a favorite restaurant, with Janssen in tow, and the daughter tells him she wants to go to Paris with her best friend to experience all the culture and art of the city -- the truth is, the girls are going to supposedly follow U2 on their European tour dates. While Neeson's paranoid, ridiculously overprotective character doesn't know this yet, he refuses at first but then allows her to go to Paris with the condition that she stay in touch with him at all times. The girls go, and the trampy, promiscuous friend ends up falling for a lame Euro-trasher named "Peter" who asks to share a cab with them on the Taxi line outside Charles DeGaulle Airport. Peter asks them to come to a party that night, and gets the address where they're staying, but he ends up being a contact guy for a group of Albanians who have staked a claim in France for the business of kidnapping and selling young girls for high-end prostitution rings.
In an exciting sequence, Neeson finally speaks to the daughter after attempting to contact her countless times, and as she speaks, her friend is abducted by a group of men right across the way from the bathroom she is in. Neeson understands what is going on just from what she is telling him, and in a rather odd part braces her for the fact that she's about to be kidnapped -- I thought Pierre Morel clouded things a bit here, as it's almost as if Neeson knew this was coming based on his reactions on the phone; at any rate, Neeson gets a good listen to their accents as they kidnap the girl. In the film's marketing jargon -- as indicated at the top of my review -- Neeson seethes some heavy-duty threats about what will happen to these men if they don't give him his daughter back...and it's really cool to listen to. Liam Neeson as a bad ass! Well, he proved he could do this already in Batman Begins but this is different; the kidnappers reply with "Good Luck"...and the chase is on.
Neeson informs Janssen what has happened, along with the a-hole stepfather, and the rich stepfather flies him to Paris via private jet, where he breaks down every door to find his daughter. These sequences are the most exciting in Taken, where Neeson first learns who the kid was who spotted his daughter and her friend -- and who is still doing it as more girls fly into Paris -- and beats him to a pulp trying to gain information. With the spotter dead (in a wild scene in which he's struck by a speeding truck) Neeson turns his sights on the underground prostitution ring in the city, which eventually leads him to the Albanians who are in control of the kidnapping ring. All the while, a French investigator who has a history with Neeson's character, is tracking his every move, refusing to give up any information about the group. Neeson's search eventually lands him in a place where ultra-wealthy sheiks and lords from all over the globe actually sit in a circle and "buy" sexy young girls that have been kidnapped by this organization and drugged into coma-like states so they simply cannot resist. The sequence where the girls are "bid on" is a bit disturbing, but what's more disturbing is the visual of the fat bastard beached whale who bid on Neeson's daughter -- the thought of what that fat f***ing pig was going to do to this teen in high heels stoned out of her gourd on G-d knows what will make you barf up your Marie Calendar's Lasagna dinner.
Good thing Neeson arrived just in time, eh?
There's also a clever, satisfying end sequence involving the pop diva from the beginning and Neeson's daughter, which I won't divulge.
What's refreshing about Taken is that for the first time in a long time, a film actually made sense and didn't require a doctorate in mythology to really understand...not only that, it runs at a brisk 90 minutes as I said, so it never really drags on in any one spot. This was a very entertaining, solidly-made action thriller that although I enjoyed more in the theater, will definitely have replay time in your home theaters.
Also of note...this is the "Unrated" 2-Disc Extended Cut of the title, which gives you the option of watching the theatrical version or the "extended" version; after selecting the extended cut, I saw really nothing different nor "longer" to warrant it receiving this moniker as compared to my memory of the theatrical release.
Did I say that already?

I swear this poster is a troll. The posts never make sense and are always about a conspiracy against Kwan and Zhang.

LOL, when Ash runs around turning her old pewters into slightly tarnished platinums, feel free to call her entitled.
'Till then, I'm gonna sit back and enjoy this thread.
So gladded I logged on tonight.
Where's the frickin' icon with tears running down a laughing face ... cuz rofl just doesn't do this thread justice (neither does wuzrobbed) ... Oh well, guess I'm "entitled" to improvise.
Enjoy your turkey, and stop all that feeling so "entitled" U.S. skaters and fans of U.S. skaters.
Well, since S/P were also mentioned in this senseless thread, maybe I should make that North American skaters and fans of North Americans ... oh what the heck. Have a happy, all! (except query5 who obviously needs to catch up on that boring "entitlement" training).
Me too!

Peter is just nothing but trouble. I think we should all negative rep him just for that.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Clearly, both President Obama and McKayla Maroney are not impressed with Ashley's entitlement.
Actually, perhaps she is so entitled that she's already practicing her own Olympic podium expression?
whole thread!!!!
Addicted to FSU
I met Ashley during 4CC at the start of the year at the official hotel and was apart of a conversation where she was talking with some other US skaters about why she got a room to herself when everyone else on the US team were sharing.
"no, I get my own room because I won nationals! duh" This was one of many comments that made me change my feeling about her.
In the few conversations I had with her she was always bringing up her win at nationals and boasting about it. I feel that she definetly is stuck up and her ego is growing more with every win. If Gold, Zawadzki, Gao and a few of the good juniors like Wang, Kieser, Miller or Hicks beat her at US Nationals so she doesnt make Worlds would bring her back to Earth! Wagner would need to put lutz back in her short and have the old meltdown at US nationals for that to work...... if only!

SolaceShe never slept well in the dark,not without the children of the sun and moonto guide her weary lids home.Guided by the aftermath, she was always two steps behind.What did the world look like to the girl who had been through it all?Braved the heaviest of storms,yet skipping over cracks in the pavement.They said her eyes were the wisps of clouds before the storm.To him they were reflections of pages overlooked.She said it was like she lived the life of someone she had never met.Laid out to dry, yesterdays news.He knew her as the girl who was built to never collapse.He wished he was too.He loved her more than words could say, and yet her pain was such,that at times, he feared she wouldn't make it.But on nights like these, even when it threatened to consume her,he became convinced that somehow she would.

Nature's swimming pools are key to beating the summer heat. Fortunately, you'll find them everywhere, from New York to California.
Who says you have to decide between a beach vacation and an urban escape?
Nothing takes the edge off a hot summer day like a dip in the pool, but if you're looking for a little more excitement this summer, we have the perfect suggestion.
What's your favorite outdoor activity? Whether it's swimming, hiking, boating or fishing, don't forget to protect your skin and eyes from the sun when you head outside to enjoy long summer days.
Officials in a California beach town are extending a temporary ban on fishing from the city's pier after a great white shark hooked by a fisherman attacked a passing swimmer.
Beat the beach and lose the lake with a refreshing dip in a freshwater oasis.
Now that summer is here, a trip to the shore should bring familiar smells: seawater, sunscreen and, depending on your beach of choice, sewage.
Jul 25, 2012; 5:00 AM ET If you're headed to the beach, keep an eye out for any of these watches and warnings issued by the NWS.

This inspiring reading will give you fresh insight into your character and personality, help you discover the lessons you have to learn in this lifetime, identify your deepest inner desires and how to fulfill them, as well as your talents and how to make the best use of them.
This report was so accurate that it was almost scary. I appreciate the information and insight; it will help me make the most of this year!
- Mary, United States
It is astounding how closely this report reflects my life. I appreciated the input very much and the direction it is giving me for what I want my life to turn to in the future. Thank you so much!
-- Doris, United States
I was quite skeptical about the numerology chart but once I read the introduction, I felt I needed to read the entire report, because so many things stated were true. I guess this reading has come closer to me than any astrology report, and I am amazed at the acuteness about my character. The direction I have been taking, becoming 41, is certainly very similar to the summary of my report...guess I'm doing something right! Thanks for a nice and positive hint on my journey.

Cork Farm,
Long Hill, Old Wives Lees,
Nr Canterbury,
This romantic old property dating from the 17th century, has been renovated to a very high standard and opened in March 2007. It is flanked on one side of the farmyard by a thatched barn and on the other by a traditional 17th century Kentish farmhouse. Flint Cottage has been awarded a four star rating by the English Tourist Board.
The centrally heated accommodation is open plan and comprises a bedroom with a King size double bed, a lounge with sofa, easy chair, coffee table, TV/DVD player, Radio/CD, fully equipped Kitchenette/Diner with Electric Oven & Gas Hob, Microwave, Dishwasher, Fridge/Freezer, Sink and drainer. There is a separate luxury bathroom with shower area, bath, washbasin and w.c. a washing machine/dryer is also situated in this room.
Outside, between the cottage and the thatched barn, there is a small paved garden area with garden furniture and a barbecue.
Bedlinen and towels are included in the rental as are Electricity and Gas.
Parking for one car is provided on hard standing next to the cottage. We regret that, as this is a working farm with sheep and horses, we cannot accommodate pets or young children.
17th century Cork Farm is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the North Downs Way, half a mile from Chilham with its famous medieval square and castle, and five miles from both Canterbury and Faversham in the charming Kentish hamlet of Old Wives Lees.
The farm has an orchard of about 220 apple trees mainly Bramley and Worcesters. Sheep and horses graze in our extensive paddocks. There are walks through our woods, locally in Perry Wood, and of course we are located right on the North Downs Way, one of the old Pilgrim's routes into Canterbury which is about 7 miles distant. An easy two hour stroll if you have the energy!
Ashford is 10 miles, and Dover port and the Channel Tunnel are both 15 miles away. Central London is a one hour train journey from Faversham with a service peaking at four trains per hour.
There is a public house in the village, two public houses with restaurant facilities in Chilham, two post offices, a general store, and a newsagent within a mile radius.
Two pub/restaurants, post office, foodstore and farmshops within one mile radius. Free access to WiFi. Own extensive woods with walking paths and immediate access to North Downs Way and nearby Perry Wood. Children welcome from age 18.
this is a most perfect place to stay good facilities and spotlessly clean cant praise it enough would recommend it to anyone
Thanks so much for your positive review. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Jan and Andy MacLean
