Desperate for a key to unlock her past, she filters through photos, art, music, and stories, hoping that something will jog her memory, and soon, in tiny bits and pieces, Nell starts remembering. . . .
From the New York Times bestselling author of Time of My Life comes a novel that asks: Who are we without our memories? How much of our future is defined by our past?
I've been a big fan of Allison's since I read TIME OF MY LIFE a few years back and fell in love with her beautiful writing. Her latest, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME, is her best yet! This story is about Nell, one of two survivors of a terrible plane crash who wakes up without any memories of her life. As Nell tries to piece together what was really going with her family and her husband when she stepped on that plane, she finds herself questioning not only who she was, but who she wants to be in the future.
Scotch does a great job of building suspense and investing us in Nell's journey-I literally could not out the book down until I read the last page! I highly recommend this book-pick up a copy TODAY!

This was a contemporary novel that delved deep into the psyche of Nell, only one of 2 survivors of a plane crash where 152 others died. Nell's family and friends along with the other survivor, an actor, and her therapist try to help Nell get her memories back since she suffered amnesia as a result of the crash. Nothing about her life seemed right as they fed her tidbits or tried to immerse her in her old life. Even the home she shared with her husband didn't feel like hers. She was determined to become a new, better Nell, as she slowly got her memories back and not be so structured and stiff in her beliefs and actions and it takes the entire book to get her there with her making small strides periodically. Along the way more and more truths come out about her life the way she wanted it to be and the memories that began to surface as she tried to leave the past behind showing how different it really was. The anger and angst that each of the characters held inside as well as unleashed on each other was cathartic in its own way. Small memories created larger ones and Nell learned that she could only trust herself and that her life would be what she made of it and not necessarily what her mom or husband wanted for her. It was a feel good story at the end – although not really a happily ever after and it could have continued on for a few more chapters. There were a lot of emotions throughout the book and you rode the highs and lows with Nell and the others although there were a lot more lows than anything. There were vivid descriptions of the house in Virginia and the surrounding property to make you feel you were there. This book was reminiscent to me of Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan, who actually was quoted on the cover. I have not read books before by this author but will definitely give her first book, Time Of My Life, a try.
Favorite Quote: "Your dreams are your dreams," she says. "Sometimes you compromise yourself to get there." She drops her chin just a touch, then gazes out across the landscape. "Show me someone who isn't guilty of that, and I'll show you someone who never dreamed in the first place."

Nell gets to reflect on the question of who we are without our memories. Does it give us a chance to start over and fix parts of ourselves that were not working right? Well maybe if you are surrounded by family who care about you more than themselves. I felt her frustration that she couldn't get a straight answer out of anyone around her. And I was supper annoyed with her sister and husband...you'll have to read the story to find out why.
The characters were very complex, and the story was so well written that hours disappeared as I read this. I liked Nell and her ability to roll with complete amnesia. The lady chose to change how she behaved based on what her sister and mother told her about who she was before. Then there was the actor she survived the plane crash with. He remembered the crash and had another fight on his hands - getting over the mental trauma. He said that Nell saved his life and forged an everlasting friendship with her. He stood up for her more than anyone else did.
The only thing I had a hard time with was her creepy husband. I didn't like him from the beginning, and neither did she but she gave into pressure even after learning they had been separated. I mean, if you knew you were heading for divorce would you allow someone in who you couldn't remember and disliked on sight? But I gave her the benefit of the doubt, because I've never been in the situation.

Nell Slattery's life is about to be changed forever in a split second. When she awakens in a hospital room, one of only two survivors of a plane crash, she finds herself without any memories of just who she is, what her life has been up to this point and what has happened to her.
Her first moments in the hospital have revealed to her that she is married to a man in the room she doesn't remember and her mother is there, again someone she doesn't recognize. After meeting with Anderson Carroll, a big name celebrity, she learns that she was his hero while the plane was going down. Apparently while he had too much to drink and was beginning to panic, they discussed their favorite bands and music in hopes it might take their minds off of what was going on around them.
Aside from this conversation, she finds both herself and Anderson on the front cover of People magazine and sees a picture of herself that she can't remember, but mostly doesn't show her as someone she would like to know more about. While Nell learns that her husband has been having an affair with a co-worker writing music jingles, she works with Jaime Reardon, an up and coming news reporter to help her investigate her own life and hopefully begin to make some positive changes into the person she would like to become.
In the novel The Song Remains the Same by Allison Winn Scotch, Nell's life is choreographed to some familiar music that ties in with chapters of her previous life throughout the book. As Nell begins to unravel her past and begins to rebuild a better future for herself, as a reader we begin to wonder what would we do if faced with similar circumstances in our own life. Would you reinvent yourself or pursue digging into a self discovery and hope you find something you like? This is just what the character of Nell does when given a second chance so to speak. Whether she gets her memory back or not, will have to wait until you, yourself, get an opportunity to read this novel.
I received this book compliments of TLC Book Tours for my honest review. I like the character of Nell because even though she can't remember much she takes on a new role in her moving forward with a sense of courage and also one of forgiveness and she tries to find out more about her past she wasn't really interested in much before. I rate this one a 4 out of 5 stars

This was the first book of hers that I've read, but I will look at her others now. This was a really compelling read and unique! The characters are believable, especially the heroine. There is a lot of depth to the story. The underlying mystery is intriguing. The author describes feelings, thoughts, scenery, dialogue with equal attention to detail.

REVIEWED BY: AprilR, My Book Addiction and More/My Book Addiction Reviews
The beginning of this book has a rather startling suggestion – Nell is one of two survivors of devastating airplane crash with multiple fatalities. When she finally comes out of a coma, she sees two people around her bed and hasn't a clue as to who they are or why they are there. The minor shocker has do with the fact she has amnesia, not remembering a single iota of her past life. The first few pages are obviously about how she reacts to family and friends who all are out to help her by telling her all about the past. But before that really gets into full swing, Nell somehow intuits that she has a phenomenal chance here, not one most other people get in a lifetime, the chance to completely shape her own future?
So what truly moves Nell? Although she was said to be a superb art dealer who has a fine eye for paintings and other artistic works that are hot sellers, what she does remain are pop, folk, and rock songs from the 60's through the 80's and each title is the name of a chapter which cannily parallels the memories of real life Nell is recalling. It's truly reflective of all the ups and downs of life, along with the thoughtful and emotional reactions and responses arising with each slice of life, a Candid Camera that misses nothing.
The remainder of the story continues in both veins as memories very, very slowly begin coming back to Nell. No, her loving husband wasn't always so nice, her sister wasn't always so close and caring – at least without her own motives, and Her father was a very talented artist who loved the ideal in life and supposedly could never cope with the harshness of reality, or could he but not in the way Nell would find acceptable; all she remembers eventually is that she worshipped the ground he walked on. Nell's mother, however, has a bevy of secrets explaining Nell's father's disappearance. That latter mystery coupled with the shocker toward the end of the story is totally unpredictable and rife with tension that is almost explosive.
The Song Remains the Same is a finely written work of contemporary fiction, with a slowly evolving plot with twists and turns in all the right places. It's a story that is very emotional in nature but feistily engaging at the same time. Our destiny does indeed lie in the shape we create and sometimes that means undoing some faulty hardwiring built in from the past! Superb, Allison Winn Scotch!
From the moment I read the summary of The Song Remains the Same, I hoped that it would live up to my expectations. It did...and then some.
I was captivated the moment I picked up this story. I was drawn in right alongside Nell, and felt for her as every new relationship was introduced, torn down and rebuilt...Just as she was rebuilding her own life and memories. One can't help but root for her...because she could be any one of us.
All of the characters that Allison Winn Scotch portrays are so wonderfully fleshed out that you can't help but feel that you know them. Unfortunately...what we know of them is completely based upon what they tell us as our protagonist Nell can remember nothing of her life prior to a horrid plane crash. She has to depend upon her mother, sister Rory, and husband Peter, among others, to fill her in not only on who they are and what the nature of her relationships with them are but also more importantly...she is counting upon them to remind her of who she is.
We come to realize that this isn't as simple a proposition as it may seem. A missing memory makes it all too easy for people to pick and choose what they want you to know...what they want you to remember...and this makes finding her way in a world with no memories all the more difficult for Nell.
She also struggles with her desire to take this opportunity, take this fresh start, to remake herself. Though without a clear line on who she was...she finds herself falling back into the same patterns that she followed before the crash.
I loved the issues that this novel explored. The questions raised about how forgiveness and kindness can re-shape our relationships. And about how we can possibly let go of our histories and strive to be different and hopefully better people-or at the least, people who live for ourselves and not for the ghosts of our pasts.
Can we eventually break free? Or is it true that The Song Remains the Same??

Make a Camera Stabilizer Rig for Under $5
The latest episode of TFF features a gizmo I use all the time--a PVC two-handed stabilizer rig. It functions on the same principle as the FigRig, which only requires a pair of hands to operate. I've totally thrown out the "steering wheel" look, added feet so I can set it on the ground and created a simple spring-loaded camera platform. It all works well.
This video covers some history of this rig, which shows the original version I came up with over a year ago for the web series Midnyte, and the evolved version which allows camera control without letting go of one of the handles. I also got rid of the $12 camera mount featured on the table dolly, which serves no purpose, since the rig can be positioned to adjust the angle on the fly.
There's a lot of stuff crammed in this episode, so I hope it was worth the 4 weeks it took to produce it. On a humorous note, it took me about 30 TAKES to nail that intro. Yeesh.
Enjoy, comment, build!
4x 1/2" PVC pipe 6" in length
4x 1/2" PVC pipe 4" in length
1x 1/2" PVC pipe 3 3/4" in length
1x 1/2" PVC pipe 1 1/2" in length
5x 1/2" PVC T-joints
4x 1/2" PVC 90 degree elbow joints
1x 1/2" PVC plug
1x 1/4"-20 machine screw 2 1/2" in length
2x 1/4" nuts

I built one of these yesterday. My first PVC project. It is very cool. I did have some issue with the 2.5" bolt being too long (and perverting the camera from coming flush with the top plug). I fixed this by adding another nut on the outside of the t-joint. I also changed the rear lower elbow to a t-bar so the whole unit can rest on a table. After playing with it a bit with my GH1 I realized I needed to do something so I could get at the focus ring, so I changed the left hand side to be two 6" pieces giving me enough room to squeeze my hand in to the focus ring. Really nice thing about this is how easy it is to tweak it for what you need. Thanks for publishing this, I doubt I'd have made it without the push.

I just made a stabilizer for my Gopro camera. It works great. I made a few design changes for strength and versatility. I used a Manfrotto 143BKT to mount the camera its sweet.

hey scott, what audio adapter rig do you have attached to the camera? Powered? XLR/balanced inputs as well?
I'm making myself one of these. Thanks! :)
-Panfro Y'know, I just had that spring laying around, so I don't know what to tell you. Try taking the screw to different hardware stores to see if you can find one that fits.
I've since abandoned the screw mount idea altogether:

Nice rig. just reassembling same parts you could use it to hold your camera upside down and have fun with your presenter upside down. Yes, i know you could turn your camera upside down in post but you might not notice things like needing to light from below.
|PSI live in UK where it seems to be much harder to be as frugal as you!! Scott, your rig concept is alive and developing. I've made one with a few improvements. I used 16mm (just over 1/2inch) aluminium tube, with pvc joints. Only T-joints: on top 3 bolts for accessories. On one of the top front tubes I put a small spirit level. And I've put on a sun shade: black plastic card, attached with parts from a 'helping hand' soldering thing. Costs: a few euro's extra. Watch it at http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Album=JGY7VCTK
SwierHi, I am in the middle of making this rig and wondering if you would make it for me, how much would that cost? I'm having problems getting the hole drilled properly or with the spring thingy. I have all the parts except the plugs I'm finding are a little bit different than yours, which may be a problem. Basically I need help getting the holes drilled properly. They are very close to center but the angles are off or something else is wrong and the spring thingy doesn't have the spring yours does. Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thank you, love your site!
ReplyDeletecheck this device i found on amazon. it is the mount piece for an iphone 4 to be used in the new steadycam smoothie. it is under $30 and added to your camera stabilizer rig, could be just like the steadycam device, only a lot cheaper...

Just made one of these using gray pvc pipe, as it's cheaper. In Oklahoma, the tees and els are the same price, but the plug is the most expensive item! I used a hex-headed screw that i can make a slot in for a coin. I hope you come up with a plan for an articulated arm stabilizer, as I have a drum vest, and no idea on how to make the arm! The $5 Stabilizer is a great rig!
ReplyDelete Hey Scott,
Love your posts and I made the dolly and rig which are great! I do have a question though. You added bicycle grips to the rig and I wanted to do the same. How did you put them on? When I try they only go on about two inches then stop and it seems the friction between the rubber and PVC is too high. Any suggestions?
Great piece, and nice addon with the quick release. I built it like you laid out, but took a 1/4 x 2 inch bolt, drilled a hole through the "t" and mounted the quick release base plate to the top of the "t". It carries my D5100 just fine, with plenty of room on the left side to swing the lcd screen out. Thanks again!Hi Scott,
First, I gotta say thank you, you showed me kinda the best way of building a camera stabilizer rig with PVC. I really like your idea that I built one myself today. I have done some improvements and adjustments of your design thru. 1, In order to have better weight balance between front and rear, I added four 90 degree elbow joints on the front frame to move those two handle bars backward a bit. It works wonderful and move like a charm. 2, I moved the "Multi functions joint" to the left side so that my 7D can fit in it.
After all pipe works have done, i got a question thru. What kind of black tape were you using to cover this rig?
Thank you again for sharing this with us.
Boris- AnonymousAugust 26, 2013 at 4:53:00 PM PDT
I just built this. I was only able to try it out for a moment, but love it so far.
I did end up spending about 50 dollars not 5. Just to make sure I had plenty of PVC, spray paint, nuts and bolts and I bought some lights.
Luckily there is a Harbor Frieght here in Spokane,so I got the PVC cutter for under 5 bucks, rather than the over 15 that Lowes was charging.
I got rhino liner spray paint type stuff.
I think I will make a video of my reassembling it post it to youtube. I'll give you props.
Thanks for the inspiration. You are good.
Nick - AnonymousSeptember 21, 2013 at 8:58:00 PM PDT
Hello! Excellent post!!! I built the rig it is AWESOME!!! I pimped mine out a bit as I use my rig for Ghost Hunting...... I modified the two front bottom 4" sections with two T bars and mounted two more screws to hold my Infrared lights.....PERFECT! I also covered the unit with Hockey tape and installed bicycle hand grips...Thanks for the idea. You can tune into our Facebook page ghostriderstv Our first episode airs on Halloween night 2013!!
ReplyDelete In days of old I used to make some videos. Having this kind of contraption back then would have greatly enhanced the experience as well as the end product. Great design, easy to build and use and does exactly what probably 99% of people shooting video could benefit from - better raw footage.
I do have a Harbor Freight type of flashlight but mine has a 1/4" female hole in the base of the flashlight. Thinking about your light idea and perhaps adding another PVC T joint along with another 2" long 1/'4 screw to hold it.
Thanks for the inspiriation Scott!

Director Antonio Campos Talks About Finding 'The Right Amount of Perfect & Sloppy'
Ever wondered what was going through the director's head as they set up on a shot? Antonio Campos, a filmmaker on the forefront of American independent film, sits down with Filmmaker Magazine to discuss his process and aesthetic method. Here they look at some scenes from Campos's latest film Simon Killer, and break down the filmmaking in terms of composition, intent, and performance. Hit the jump to watch the full interview:
Props to Zachary Wigon for creating this, it's great to see a filmmaker able to break down their approach, and it makes me want to see more interviews made this way. The interview itself even gets a little avant-garde during the last 3 minutes.
I'm always interested in the way directors control their camera, and here, Campos discusses the "conscious camera" and the difference between the camera being one step behind or one step ahead of the action. His approach is marked with rigorous composition, yet free-flowing performances.
That's what I'm interested in, even during Afterschool, I didn't give marks. You set up a really nice frame and then you just let the actors give it some life and mess it up. You just set up enough of the pieces so that the things that are by chance or spontaneous can still play out and be interesting. You're designing something but you're also allowing the actor to live something out.
Campos also produced Martha Marcy May Marlene, and is part of a collective of filmmakers known as Borderline Films with Sean Durkin and Josh Mond. Their approach to filmmaking employs the philosophy of the revolving director chair: when one directs a film the other two produce.
A director's job is not to have all the answers, but to be the best prepared for the possibilities and to bring out the best in people.
For more about their process, check out this video from 2011′s Sundance alumni spotlight:
Simon Killer was released in select theaters yesterday, April 5th.

I enjoyed this thoroughly, and learned a lot. Well put together and interesting for the eye.
That said, it's difficult to call it an "interview" when the host answers most of the questions for the subject while asking them. You can tell that Zachary is a fan, though, and his breakdown of Campos' film was thorough and thought provoking.

Anne Hathaway's Many Opinions
Famous for her Oscar-winning performances, porcelain skin, big doe-eyes, full lips, wonderful singing voice, and unique sense of style, Anne Hathaway is truly a celebrity and a fashion icon in every sense. Her red carpet moments never fail to get the attention of photographers, reporters, designers, and fans alike.
With several film awards under her belt, she is unquestionably in the spotlight. Reading about Anne Hathaway everywhere gathers mixed reactions from both the media and practically anyone who feels entitled to his or her own opinion. In the midst of the good and bad reactions, Anne speaks up with confidence about her ways and her perspectives in life, both in and out of showbiz.
On ambition and work:
"What I find is that I can push through anything… I have an enormous amount of drive. But on the inside I'm a bunch of pulpy wet leaves; I'm so defenseless, probably pathologically so."
On confidence:
"Confidence is not something that blooms overnight. It takes time to develop, at least it has for me."
On her self doubt:
"I could have traveled the world with a backpack and would have gotten nothing from it, I was just this lost, timid person."
On looking good and feeling her best:
"I look my best after an entire hair and makeup team has spent hours perfecting me. When do I feel my best? When I haven't looked in a mirror for days, and I'm doing things that make me happy."
On nudity:
"I don't get hung up on nudity."
On the power of being a celebrity:
"I take very seriously the idea that I can make an impact in the world, I hold back my voice so I can make more of an impact when I do use it. "
On loneliness:
"Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me. That horrible feeling of isolation is something that I hope I never have to deal with again. "
On world problems:
"The strange thing is that we assume that we've come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news, yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It's easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day. And that for me is the one that I just can't get my head around. I understand wars; conflict has existed throughout history, and there's a history to these current conflicts. I understand that. But poverty and hunger are things that everybody could be involved in fighting."
On college education:
"College is such a unique time because you're learning a little bit how to be an adult. You're learning how to take care of yourself without parental influence, and you're exposed to so many great minds. I feel like I didn't even know how to think until I got to college."
On fashion:
"I think that fashion can be a lot of fun. I love clothes, but I recognize that it should only be a hobby. Some clothes that are more design-based look better on women with figures like wire hangers, because that's the nature of the design. I won't wear those clothes."
On her fears:
"There are a few things. One is not taking full advantage of every opportunity—missing out on something for whatever reason, being distracted, and not making the most of every opportunity that you're given… Not living up to the expectations of the director is pretty terrifying. Being exposed as a fraud—that's pretty terrifying. Then I think there's a vanity aspect of it. All of a sudden, you walk on the camera, and your ass looks horrible… The last one I can live with, but the other two are way more important."
On her interests:
"I've been exploring some things I'm interested in—you know, a little bit of writing, a little bit of shooting, a little bit of drawing, a little bit of this, a little bit of that. I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like, 'Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I'm, so far, not gifted in that way. But I'm a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows?"
"It's easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day…I understand wars; conflict has existed throughout history… But poverty and hunger are things that everybody could be involved in fighting."
On journalists and media:
"You know what, you entertainment news journalists are dangerous. You take a little tiny thing and you blow it up into a new career!"
On being obnoxious:
"I'm so bad, I interrupt everybody. I'm so obnoxious. I just get really excited when I talk, and especially when I talk to people who are fun to talk to, and I jump in at the end of every sentence and nobody ever gets to finish a thought."

Unions slam push to arm teachers with guns
The debate continues over whether teachers and other school personnel should have access to guns in an emergency, but the nation's two biggest teachers unions warned Thursday that would be a disastrous idea that sends the wrong message to children.
"Some are actually proposing bringing more guns in, turning our educators into objects of fear and increasing the danger in our schools. Guns have no place in our schools. Period," reads a rare joint statement from the presidents of the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers.
In their letter, Dennis Van Roekel of the NEA and Randi Weingarten of the AFT called the idea of arming teachers "astounding and disturbing," saying it runs counter to educators' vow to provide safe and secure public schools.
In the days following the tragic massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., several high-profile political figures — including Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Rep. Louie Gohmert, Texas Republican — have suggested that instructors or principals be given firearms. They would kept in secure locations and available only to school leaders, who would use them in the event a gunman enters the building or in the case of some other extreme threat to students.
Former Education Secretary Bill Bennett has also voiced support for the idea.
"Suppose the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary who was killed lunging at the gunman was instead holding a firearm and was well trained to use it. Would the result have been different? Or suppose you had been in that school when the killer entered, would you have preferred to be armed?" Mr. Bennett wrote in a recent column for CNN.com. "Evidence and common sense suggest yes."
While the notion has gained some traction, the majority of focus in the wake of Sandy Hook remains on gun control and wider availability of mental health care for those who need it, such as Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza.
"Greater access to mental health services, bullying prevention and meaningful action on gun control — this is where we need to focus our efforts, not on staggeringly misguided ideas about filling our schools with firearms," Mr. Van Roekel and Ms. Weingarten said. "Lawmakers at every level of government should dismiss this dangerous idea."

Bye Bye Johnny
She drew out all her money out of the southern trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving louisiana for the golden west
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son name 'o johnny b. goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny
Good bye johnny b. goode
She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny
Good bye johnny b. goode
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a' standin', a' wavin' by the kitchen door
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny
Good bye johnny b. goode

Sham marriage scam : couple punished
08 September 2011
A would-be bride and groom whose plans for a sham marriage were foiled by a UK Border Agency investigation were jailed on 7 September at Bristol Crown Court.
Shahzad Anwar, a 33-year-old Pakistani man and Cristina Dinu, a 45-year-old Romanian woman of Wedmore Vale, Bristol, had previously admitted charges of conspiracy to commit immigration offences.
Judge Mark Horton jailed Anwar for 27 months and Dinu for 7 months.
The pair were arrested in September 2010 after we learned they were planning to marry at a Bristol register office despite neither of the pair being able to speak the other's language and only limited English.
Anwar had arrived in the UK and tried to claim asylum under the name Shahzad Malik in 2009.
This claim was rejected and an appeal was turned down by the courts. Steps were being taken to remove Anwar to his home country when he hatched the sham marriage plan in an attempt to be allowed to stay in the UK.
Investigators learned that Dinu, who was living in Germany, arrived in the UK on 14 April 2010 and within a week had submitted a joint application with Anwar to marry.
But before any ceremony could take place, our investigators received information about the pair's marriage plans and arrested them.
Despite Dinu initially claiming that the pair were in a genuine relationship, both later admitted the offences.
A sham marriage typically occurs when a non-European national marries someone from the European Economic Area as a means of attempting to gain long-term residency and the right to work and claim benefits in the UK.
Zaira Munsif, immigration crime team, UK Border Agency, said:
'Today's sentencing sends out a strong message to those thinking of taking part in sham marriages.
We take this kind of abuse of the system very seriously and we are working closely with churches and registrars to identify suspect weddings.
'Where there is evidence to suggest a wedding is not genuine we will investigate, stop it happening and prosecute those involved.
'We have specialist teams investigating cases just like this to ensure people are not able to benefit from breaking UK immigration laws.'
During sentencing, Judge Horton recommended that Anwar be deported to Pakistan once he has served at least half his sentence, adding that the case represented a well organised conspiracy to abuse the UK's immigration rules.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Oklahoma pharmacy agrees not to provide drug to Missouri for execution later this month
OKLAHOMA CITY - An Oklahoma pharmacy has agreed not to provide Missouri with a made-to-order drug for an inmate's execution scheduled for later this month, according to court documents filed Monday.
According to the documents, The Apothecary Shoppe, of Tulsa, will not prepare or provide pentobarbital or any other drug for use in Michael Taylor's execution. The documents ask a judge to dismiss the case that Taylor's lawyers had filed against the pharmacy seeking to stop it from providing the execution drug. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
Taylor's attorney, Matt Hellman, said that as part of the deal, the pharmacy acknowledged it has not already provided any drug to the Missouri Department of Corrections for the execution, which is scheduled for Feb. 26.
The Missouri Department of Corrections and the attorney general's office did not immediately return calls Monday night seeking comment about the agreement or the status of Taylor's execution.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon indicated last week that the state has drugs to carry out Taylor's execution. Nixon, speaking at a news conference Thursday, did not directly answer "yes" or "no" when asked about availability of the execution drug but said, "In order to complete that ultimate responsibility, that's necessary. The Department of Corrections is prepared to carry out that execution."
Taylor pleaded guilty to abducting, raping and stabbing to death a 15-year-old Kansas City girl in 1989.
The Apothecary Shoppe has not acknowledged that it supplies a compounded version of pentobarbital to Missouri for use in lethal injections, as Taylor says, and says it can't because of a Missouri law requiring the identities of those on the state's execution team to be kept confidential.
In his lawsuit, Taylor alleged that Missouri turned to The Apothecary Shoppe to supply compounded pentobarbital because the only licensed manufacturer of the drug refuses to provide it for lethal injections. That company, Illinois-based Akorn Inc., agreed to that condition when it bought the exclusive rights to the drug in January 2012 from a Danish company that had produced it under the trade name Nembutal.
Taylor contends that several recent executions in which compounded pentobarbital was used showed it would likely cause him "severe, unnecessary, lingering and ultimately inhumane pain."
Within 20 seconds of receiving his lethal injection on Jan. 9 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, 38-year-old Michael Lee Wilson said: "I feel my whole body burning." This statement describes "a sensation consistent with receipt of contaminated pentobarbital," Taylor alleges.
The lawsuit also cites the Oct. 15, 2012, execution in South Dakota of Eric Robert. Robert, 50 cleared his throat, gasped for air and then snored after receiving the lethal injection, which included compounded pentobarbital. His skin turned a purplish hue and his heart continued to beat for 10 minutes after he stopped breathing, the lawsuit contends. It took 20 minutes for authorities to finally declare Robert dead.
"These events are consistent with receipt of a contaminated or sub-potent compounded drug," the lawsuit says.
Taylor's lawsuit questions whether the Tulsa pharmacy can legally produce and deliver compounded pentobarbital. It says the pharmacy is not registered as a drug manufacturer with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and alleges that it violates federal law each time it delivers the drug across state lines to Missouri corrections officials.

He needed a wake-up call and a kick in the pants. And he got both from the head man in American football.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and two–time Super Bowl winner, Ben Roethlisberger, was slapped with a six–game suspension by the NFL this week for not complying with the league's "personal conduct policy".
It stems from a second incident in two years involving allegations of sexual misconduct by the 28-year-old Roethlisberger.
"Roethlisberger is a great player, and a great leader on the field, but the guy is a mess away from the game"
Brendan Connor
Given the reports of his antics, everyone knew this suspension was coming, but nobody knew how severe it would be. Six games is a lot.
It's one-third of the NFL season, and the Steelers, who won the Super Bowl in 2009, are pretty much lost without "Big Ben" at the helm. That was clear last season, when he was injured and they missed the playoffs entirely.
But this move was necessary.
Roethlisberger is a great player, and a great leader on the field, but the guy is a mess away from the game. He repeatedly shows bad judgement, puts himself in places and predicaments he shouldn't, and frankly needs to stop being a "frat boy" and grow up.Assault claims
Accordingly, the NFL's commissioner, Roger Goodell, handed down the six-game punishment even though prosecutors in the state of Georgia last week decided not to charge Roethlisberger in a case involving a 20-year-old college student who accused him of sexually assaulting her in the bathroom of a local bar.
As part of the suspension, Roethlisberger also must undergo a comprehensive behavioural evaluation, and there's a chance he could have his six-game ban reduced to four games if he shows proper contrition and behaves well in the view of evaluators and of Goodell.
This is a bit of an odd case because Roethlisberger is the first player ever to be suspended under the NFL's "conduct policy" who was not arrested nor charged with a crime.
However, there are suggestions of an ongoing behavioural issue.
He was also accused of sexual impropriety by a woman in Lake Tahoe, Nevada two years ago, but she later dropped her complaint.
Roethlisberger's actions have angered the team ownership and the fans in Pittsburgh, and he has lost sponsors because of the scandal.
There is also now some suggestion that the Steelers are willing to listen to offers to trade Roethlisberger away from Pittsburgh if another team is interested and if the offer is right.
He will also lose money. A lot of it. His salary $471,000 a game, so if he does have to miss six games, then "Big Ben" will be out some $2.8 million.Brand and image
The consensus on radio call-in shows and among columnists seems to be: "Just throw touchdowns Ben, stop trying to throw away your career. If we want trashy stories, we'll look in the tabloids or watch the TV reality shows."
As the most popular and successful of American sports, the NFL is very protective of its brand and image, and since Goodell began running things, he has been quick to banish or dispatch transgressors who run afoul of the law, or generally misbehave.
To date, none of the players who have had to be punished has been as famous or high-profile as Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers, but his sentence is a cautionary tale for others in American football who contemplate bad behavior.
Maybe they should just play, and perform their magic on the field and then try to carry themselves with dignity off the field, because it's clear with Roethlisberger's suspension that no player is bigger than the game, and all will feel the wrath of the commissioner if they stray and if they embarrass the mighty NFL.

Charting a Better Future through IDA
Available in Español, Français, عربي
Speaking ahead of the upcoming World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings, Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim called on the international community to seize the historic opportunity presented by favorable economic conditions in developing countries and end extreme poverty by 2030. This is an exciting goal, and success in achieving it has become possible. Kim pointed to the International Development Association, or IDA, the Bank's fund for the poorest, as central to the tremendous effort needed to make this happen.
Every three years, development funders and borrowing country representatives meet to deliberate and agree on IDA's strategic direction, financing, and allocation rules, and we just kicked off this process for the 17th "replenishment" of IDA (which provides development financing for the period July 1, 2014-June 30, 2017).
Two days of open discussion in Paris on March 20-21 with both investors and borrowers covered the complex development agenda faced by IDA countries, as well as the fund's strategic approach to dealing with these issues. We worked to chart a way forward for IDA to most effectively improve the lives of the roughly 1 billion people in IDA countries still living on less than $1.25 a day.

A Chance to Make History: Achieving a World Free of Poverty
In two weeks, economic policymakers from around the world will gather in Washington, D.C., for the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings. As has been the case for the past five years, there will be much talk of economic crisis and of strategies to restore confidence, kick start growth, and create jobs. There is growing evidence that we are on the right track, but this agenda still requires much more work.
The meetings, though, also offer an occasion to look beyond the short term crisis-fighting measures. It is a chance for leaders to adopt a long-term perspective and assess where we stand and where we are headed.
If they do, they will see that today we are at a moment of historic opportunity. For the end of absolute poverty, a dream which has enticed and driven humanity for centuries, is now within our grasp.

Given the fact that written science fiction encourages the greatest possible free play of ideas, why is it that filmed science fiction almost always seems required to be dumb, dumb, dumb? You can count on one hand the recent s-f films that have contained truly challenging ideas: "2001," of course, and then "Silent Running," "Zardoz" (for its story but not its ending), "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and, for certain of its scenes, "Alien." Certain other s-f movies have redeemed themselves by sheer visual energy and high spirits; "Star Wars" is the obvious example.
But how, this late in the game, can we still get movies like "Saturn 3"? Who paid for it? The credits name Lord Lew Grade and Elliott Kastner. They've got a tidy little partnership over in England that's well enough financed to chum out about a dozen international releases a year, some of them as good as "The Muppet Movie," most of them as bad as "Saturn 3."
The level of intelligence of the screenplay of "Saturn 3" is shockingly low - the story is so dumb it would be laughed out of any junior high school class in the country - and yet the movie was financed. Why? Why couldn't Lord Grade and Kastner for once decide that since they'd committed themselves to spend this money anyway, they had nothing to lose in financing a creative and intelligent screenplay? Why do they feel compelled to support the lowest common denominator, of filmmaking?
And, all right, then: How dumb is "Saturn 3"? 1 will give you an example. The movie's about Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett, who are the only two crew members on Saturn 3, a space research station near Saturn. They have a visitor, who is supposed to be a Captain James, but is really the evil Benson (Harvey Keitel) who has killed James and replaced him for reasons of his own. Benson has brought along a robot named Hector. And, toward the end of the movie, Hector is chasing Kirk and Farrah.
So what do they do? They remove the floor panels of the space station and cover the hole with a flimsy material, so that when Hector steps on it, it'll collapse, and Hector will fall through to the bitterly cold cauldron beneath.
Amazing! We haven't seen this brilliant idea since Tarzan was putting stakes in the bottoms of holes to catch elephants. And Tarzan, at least, would have been bright enough to realize that if you make a hole in the floor of a space station, your atmosphere will rush out explosively. How can they still get away with disregarding all the elementary laws of physics in science fiction movies?
But this movie's dumb in other ways, too. The love triangle between Douglas, Fawcett and Keitel is so awkwardly and unbelievably handled that we are left in stunned indifference. The purpose of Keitel's visit is left so unclear we can't believe Douglas would accept it. The hostility of the robot is unexplained.
And then there are dubious details like (a) the spaceship whizzes through the rocks in the rings of Saturn without hitting any of them; (b) the space station is rambling and spacious despite the fact that every square inch of construction would be at an incredible premium millions of miles from Earth; (c) gravity is the same as on Earth; (d) ... but never mind.
This movie is awesomely stupid, totally implausible from a scientific viewpoint, and a shameful waste of money. If Grade and Kastner intend to continue producing films with standards this low, I think they ought instead, in simple fairness, to simply give their money to filmmakers at random. The results couldn't be worse.

Buddy Tosses Knockout Punch
Posted by ninjarluke on Oct. 17, 2008
Posted by ninjarluke on Oct. 17, 2008
the greatest thing about being gay is when you hit your life partner its not domestic violence.
 WOW! Did you see that "knockout punch?!" Unbelievable, I didn't know you could still move when you just got "knocked out." When the dude's unconscious, THEN I'll consider him knocked out. I wonder when the Break description writers will ever get this crap right.
 "oooohh, duuuuude... you just cracked him in the dooome." - insert statement about how dumb that sounded -
i love the new construction that puts big ass windows in the basement. true american tradition
and what hte fkuc is up with these censors on break now where u cant post if u have any semi unacceptable language rofl
that was a fu cking slap break, i understand that maybe you va ginas might consider that a wicked punch, and anything open hand is a slap you fu cking wart fondleing as sholes
 The only thing that should really be considered in this video is that one dude is wearing a wide white belt around his waist. Wow.
Does the break dude that titles this stuff even know what a "knock out" is. I have seen so many of these titled as someone being knocked out and they simply fell down. "knocked out" refers to being "knocked out" of consciousness. unlike this guy.
Crap, I think that I came up with Jeff Spicoli on my own(i did) and then I read 2 down from me and Dave thought of it first. I lose, Dave wins. Go Dave.
Right in the temple. What an a-hole. I would give him a "Septic Swirly of Doom" as punishment. Then I would stuff his head up his own poop chute, light him on fire, leave him on a doorstep, ring the doorbell and run away giggling like a schoolgirl. Then kick him in the nutsack until he passes out.
oarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr duuuuuuuuuude u justtttt craccccccccked him in the dooooooooooooooooome duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
i think break has some indian workers to do the comments on the video that make it on the front page
its break thats responsible for posting the videos with descriptions... its about their only job. And btw, most of the desc. are edited by them
dude, relax. i think you need to let off a little steam, go fight someone or knock off some knuckle children
I see this so much. People ACTUALLY think break writes EVERY description. Look below the video on the main pages. It say WHO submitted them, therefore uploaded the video. If it says "From Break staff" then they wrote the description. Break did not write the description of this particular video.

siri dictation?
is there any hope of at least siri dictation becoming a feature in ML?
i've noticed a few websites like vimeo and newegg have implemented voice search, and in my testing they work quite well, so it doesn't seem like computer microphones should be a limitation. i know my parents who are slow hunt and peck typists would love having this system wide without having to spring for a copy of dragon naturally speaking.

Not to sound like some of the ass**** on the forum but no one but Apple knows. Personally I would say maybe, leaning more towards, NO. Because its one of the biggest features of the iPhone 4S which wasn't to big of an upgrade. Probably (maybe) get siri dication. We already have some (crap) text to speech software in OS X so it may be updated, if not now then later.

A healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, treatment for high blood pressure, and other measures can prevent atrial fibrillation by protecting you from heart disease. Manage your stress, exercise regularly, control your blood pressure, and do not smoke.
For tips on starting a walking program, see:
Eat a heart-healthy diet. This includes eating at least two servings of fish each week, particularly oily fish such as salmon, trout, and tuna. For more information, see Heart Disease: Eating a Heart-Healthy Diet.
Avoid medicines, alcohol, and stimulants-such as caffeine or nicotine-that may contribute to the development of atrial fibrillation.
Take antibiotics when directed to do so by your doctor to lower your chance of getting a heart infection (endocarditis). Infection in the heart may lead to atrial fibrillation. For more information, see the topic Endocarditis.
Check your heartbeat regularly. To learn how to check your pulse, see taking your pulse . If you notice that your heartbeat does not have a regular rhythm, talk to your doctor. Checking your heartbeat is important, because many people do not have symptoms of atrial fibrillation. Ask your doctor how often you should check your heartbeat. Once a month might be right for you.

--Comex April gold up 0.1% at $1,592.30/troy oz
--U.S. inflation rates inch higher, luring buyers to gold
--Weaker dollar also props up dollar-denominated gold prices
--But stronger U.S. industrial production offsets some of the support, reignites Fed worries
By Tatyana Shumsky
NEW YORK--Gold futures edged higher Friday as higher U.S. inflation data drew some investors to the safety of the yellow metal, though gains were muted by a report showing U.S. industrial production improved last month.
The most-actively traded contract, for April delivery, was recently trading up $1.60, or 0.1%, at $1,592.30 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold prices drew strength from a report showing U.S. consumer prices, a measure of inflation, rose 0.7% in February, posting their biggest increase since June 2009. The so-called core prices, which don't include volatile food and energy sectors, rose 0.2%.
Gold traders closely follow inflation data as investors tends to stock up on the hard asset during times of rising inflation, as gold tends to keep its value better than other assets.
A weaker dollar also offered gold futures some support. The dollar slipped against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, with the ICE Dollar Index falling to 82.150 from 82.613 earlier.
Dollar-denominated gold futures appear cheaper to buyers using foreign currencies when the dollar weakens.
However, some of gold's gains were offset after a report showed U.S. industrial production rose 0.7% in February, beating forecasts of a 0.4% increase.
Gold prices have struggled in recent months, as investors fear that improving U.S. economic data would prompt the Federal Reserve to roll back some its loose monetary policies that had benefited gold.

Porter Backtracks
I'm no Porter fan by asny means, but I can see why players find it impossible to let down in front of media, why they always give canned generic statements. When they joke, the media makes a big deal as though they were serious (ESPN read the clip a zillion times on the air and never once mentioned that Porter was joking around when he said it).
THe media are so two-faced it's disgusting. Now they get all holy about it, ((God forbid) repeating his words verbatim). They goad players into going over the line, encourage them, fling soundbites all over the airwaves, then say, "Hey, what did you expect?" then get upset when players don't alk to then. For years the press here blasted BB for never offereing up anything. THen post-draft, he mentioned calling Dillon about drafting Maroney, and the press went nuts at the conference. No matter how many times he said it wasn't a big deal, they kept after him, one reporter (I can picture Felger) asking sarcastically, "Did you call Hochstein and Neal before drafting Mankins?" Joey is getting stuff thrown back in his face, and he certainly could use a little of that, mouth that he is. But boy, the media annoys me. |
3rd Grade Education + Access to Microphone = Situations Like This
Now that's funny
However dumb he is or isn't, Porter shouldn't have backed down. He's right, and he's got about 70% of the country with him. But enough politics.
I could say alot of additional negative, but true comments...but then this thread would have to be moved to the "politricks" section. |

- 'Gender Styling' was a project set in Semester Two at Uni this year. The aim was to create a hypothetical enhancement tonic/potion to design labelling for. The labels had to be distinctively male and female, by colour and content.
I chose to create labels for a 'Dream Enhancement Tonic' that has two main effects, depending on when it is taken. When taken at night dreams are enhanced to become much move vivid and action packed (movie like), whereas when taken during the day an individual's imagination is unlocked to reveal their subconscious creativity.
We were advised to steer away from the typical blue for boys and pink for girls in the colour schemes for this project which is why I have set up the red/orange/brown and yellow/purple. The keyhole shape design makes reference to the 'unlocking' of imagination that occurs when this tonic is consumed.

Customer Asda George Zebra Print Wellies Reviews (2)
by - written on 29/12/12 (Very useful, 42 readings)
About three years ago I desperately needed a pair of wellies to go to the park etc. with my daughter. It was always raining and everywhere was muddy but I could not get a pair of wellies anywhere, despite it being winter time. After months of looking everywhere, and only seeing super expensive ones at around £60 I was starting to think I would never get a pair, and then one day, by chance we went into a local Asda and there were some wellies, on sale! These are actually children's wellies, they seemed to go up to adult size 6, which is perfect for me. Infact, the size 6 even comes up a little large so I need to wear an extra thick pair of socks with them. ... Read the complete review

Living in Cornwall, we are never far away from the countryside and beaches and spend a lot of time just walking and exploring. That being said, wellington boots are an essential piece of footwear to stop soggy feet and wet trousers. The most recent wellies I've purchased are these from Asda. I purchased my zebra print wellies from my local Asda store but they can be purchased online too but a delivery charge may apply. The wellies cost me just £9. Zebra print is definitely my favourite animal print so it was inevitable that I would buy these once I had seen them hanging up on display. The wellies definitely don't lack in the print department with it ... Read the complete review
