We loved everything about the Alitania apartments, the apt was just like home, bright, extremely clean beautifully furnished. The location is superb. It was our 3rd time in Berlin in 2 years but our first staying in an apartment. Mela the manager had the apt equipped for us and even had a present for my son, she is a lovely lady. We are planning on returning and staying there again next year. - Anonymous
Location - Nabil
Very good location, very friendly hotel staff, little present every day(chocolate, food), spacious rooms, modern design, balcony, very bigbathroom, kitchenette and possibility to prepare tea/coffee for free andtea/coffee was available every day. Pc. Two TV'S. Enough wardrobes. - Fernando
Great Service, Front desk staff and the rest of the crew were great! - Pawel
location - Anonymous
We liked that it wasn't on beachfront Berlin, it was 8 mins walk away from Potsdamer Platz which was perfect to take in all the historical sights nonetheless. The hotel is a typical conference churner and the rooms very business oriented but very comfortable, good size and floor heating in the bathrooms! It was great value for money and we were very comfortable for the 2 night stay. - Anonymous
The location of the hotel is excellent, the rooms are very comfortable, the design is gorgeous and the breakfast delicious. The hotel is very quiet, the design very interesting and the personal is very friendly. - Anonymous
Very clean. Nice room and bathroom. Very helpful staff. - John Thomson
Pretty much everything! The room was a really good size, the bathroomand toilet were lovely and spotlessly clean, and the aircon worked fine.The location was excellent for a first visit, very close to theTopography of Terror which was one of the best things we saw in Berlin(and free!), Checkpoint Charlie and Potsdamer Platz. Go across the roadto Stresemann's Bistro for breakfast!! - Anonymous
The Staff were excellent from the time we checked in with the front
desk staff (forgotten the guys name, he is an asset to your hotel)
nothing was too much trouble for him. From the cleaning staff to the
breakfast staff, it was fantastic, I will be recommending this hotel to
all my friends. - Anonymous
During our stay in Berlin, we found the staff to be most welcoming and very helpful. Your hotel provided an excellent full breakfast to start off your day. We loved our time in Berlin and hope to return next year for a longer period of time. No doubt, we will be staying at the Express By Holiday Inn! - Gale

Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change

I think if Strauss wasn't skipper he'd have taken the gloves, am sure he was our reserve WK for the last WC
Predictions anyone?
Don't think this is actually on Foxtel at all. Don't know why they don't just do what they did yesterday and run the replay straight after the first game. Disappointing.
CricketArchive knows all.
Ironically the bowler was David Nash, who was Middlesex's keeper for the game. It looks like it was petering out to a draw and they were having a bit of fun when he took over.
Shocker from Steyn first up, but second ball bang on target.
England to meekly surrender for about 220. Anything else is a surprise really.

Hmm England's odds on winning are pretty horrific. 3.20 on Cricinfo's flashy updatey one.
Foxtel will probably show a replay tomorrow but they obviously think we prefer to watch our cousins across the water.
Strauss is so good when good and he has been all summer.

Another Earth
I recently stumbled across this little gem sitting on our shelves. It won the Special Jury Prize (World Cinema, Dramatic) at the 2011 Sundance Festival, as well as several other nominations and wins at various other venues. The story is a compelling mix of devastating loss and forgiveness, love and redemption, and if this is making some of you think it is too treacly, don't be put off. It is a very intelligent and provocative movie.
Need something else to convince you to give it a try? 28-year-old Brit Marling, who plays the lead character, wrote the story herself. She set out to start her adult life as an economy major with a job offer at Goldman Sachs, but got bitten by the acting bug. She hung around Hollywod for awhile but got tired of only being offered roles as the cute blonde in horror movies. So she taught herself to write — the idea being if she wanted decent parts she had to write them herself. She got the movie produced, entered it at Sundance and that's that! It's an impressive start.
Twilight and Harry Potter seem to get all the press, but there are some fantastic, yet little seen, films being adapted from young adult fiction. You can browse the Teen titles in our collection by doing a subject search of 'teen films'.
Here are a few suggestions to hold you over until the Hunger Games trilogy makes its way to the theatre.
Paranoid Park (2008) is a haunting portrait of a young skateboarder who accidently kills a security guard. The film was adapted and directed by Gus Van Sant, from the novel of the same name by Blake Nelson. This is a smart and expertly crafted coming-of-age film, that was well reviewed and little seen. It was released the same year as Van Sant's 'Milk' and seemed to get forgotten about. Which is strange because once seen, this film is hard to forget. The film also boasts a strong soundtrack by Elliott Smith and Nino Rota.
One of my favourite YA novels is Skellig by David Almond. The story centres around a young teen who befriends a bird/angel-ish creature hidden in his garage. The books was adapted for British TV in 2009 with Oscar-nominee Tim Roth in the title role. The movie 'Skellig: The Owl Man" was recently added into the CPL catalogue.
For something a little lighter, try Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. The quirky tale of 14 year old Georgia Groome, who only wants a boyfriend and to throw the greatest birthday party ever. A charming film by Gurinder Chada, the director of the equally charming Bend it like Beckham.
2008 was a year when slumdogs, superheroes and sad-eyed robots ruled our imagination. As audiences lined up for grand entertainment, many of the year's best films and performances went largely unnoticed. Here are some of my favourite films from last year. Click on the links to place a request for a film.
Shotgun Stories:The story of a group of half-brothers that become embroiled in a dispute after the passing of their father. This parable like story provides an astute examination of what incites youth to violence and the struggles of the brave few who will stand against it.
Son of Rambow: Please don't let the title scare you off. This is a charming and stylish story of two English schoolboys of vastly different backgrounds attempting to re-create their favourite movie, Rambo: First Blood. The experience of filming their masterpiece helps the boys cope with their troubled family relationships.
Happy Go Lucky: Sally Hawkins gives an incredible performance as Poppy, a seemingly incurable optimist. This slice-of-life feature follows Poppy through driving lessons, dance classes and nightclubs, as she tries to bring joy to those who would bring her down. British director Mike Leigh gives us a funny, thoughtful and very touching story of the struggles of maintaining a positive outlook on life.
Tell No One: "8 Years ago, Alex's wife was murdered... Today she e-mailed him." So says the tag-line from this absorbing thriller. A pediatrician struggles to prove his innocence in the brutal murder of his wife, while trying to outrun those who pursue him. This "Fugitive" like film is a truly international effort: a French Director (Guillaume Cane) filming an American novel (by Harlan Coben), starring French-Canadian and British actresses (Marie-Josée Croze & Kristin Scott Thomas).
The Fall: In a hospital in 1920's California, a bed-ridden stuntman befriends a young girl with a broken arm. He enchants her with a magical tale of heroes and villains. Real-life people and situations are gradually incorporated into his story and the line between story and reality become blurred. Like "Pan's Labyrinth" this film uses a fairytale approach to deal with some heavy subject matter. What begins as an escapist tale for the child ends up a cathartic one for the stuntman. Filmed in 20 countries over the period of four years, the images and scope of this film are awe-inspiring.

What a day! Minnesota voted for love and commitment, and we changed the course of history! May we all find the time today to rest and feel the love and support that has come out of this hard and holy work. This day calls forth the spirit of Life and Love that holds us all—no exceptions.
Spirit of Life, come unto me. Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion. Blow in the wind, rise in the sea; move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice. Roots hold me close; wings set me free; Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.*
Today, our compassionate hearts remain open, lifted by Minnesota voters who believe in justice and have created a welcoming state for GLBT families and individuals. Keep that love pouring out and the conversations going. Give a hug, take a nap and move forward with joy!

Was Maria Shriver plastic surgery to hide stress of suspecting Arnold Schwarzenegger affairs?
The number one question everyone following the Arnold Schwarzenegger paternity scandal is not whether or not he fathered a love child with his mistress. It is whether the former green celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger was telling the truth when he told media sources that Maria Shriver did not know about his affairs. Did he tell the press the truth that Maria Shriver just found out he has a child with his housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena? One that was already thirteen years old when the news broke — and who he fathered when Maria Shriver was pregnant with their own child?
People wonder how Maria Shriver could live in the house and be waited on by the woman who was secretly having a long-term relationship and affair with for all these years and never suspect the Governator was out to terminate the marriage with his d*&%. Was the cheating scandal looming in her mind for years, and if so, did the stress cause Maria Shriver to turn to the plastic surgery to make her face look less stressed and fatigued? Were her worry lines that turned into deep-set wrinkles prematurely caused by rumors and allegations both in the public and behind closed doors that her very famous movie star husband was a cheater — one who is quickly rising to the ranks of infamy like Jesse James (ex-husband of Sandra Bullock, outed for sleeping with Michelle McGee in an Oscars week bombshell), Tiger Woods (ex-husband of the lovely blond wife Elin who got popped for his affair with Rachel Uchitel and a slew of porn star type women in a golf club car crash celebrity home incident), David Boreanaz (the former Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel turned Bones detective who was blackmailed by Rachel Uchitel after a nightclub scandal), and Maria Shriver's own famous family member President John F. Kennedy (noted in history books for cheating on Jackie Kennedy with blonde bombshell movie starlet Marilyn Monroe).
Maria Shriver plastic surgery rumors swirled around the rumor mills on many different occasions in the past. Internet gossip sites have wondered for years why no one in the mainstream media commented on her jaw line having been pulled too tight in what looked to be a botched plastic surgery procedure. They pointed out Maria Shriver may have had plastic surgery on her mouth — and been one of the Hollywood – Washingtonian star celebs to have started early getting Botox injections. Other less polite sites claimed her face actually needed more plastic surgery — not less. They claimed that because she has enough money to afford any cosmetic surgery procedure or series of plastic surgeries she wants that she should have been taking full advantage of it.
While Maria Shriver may or may not have had plastic surgery of a seriously invasive nature over the years, one thing was certain. As time went on, her face grew more gaunt and taut, her eyes sunk in and turned to "snake eyes" slits, and bottom line, the deep emotional pain being caused by her cheating husband, her own jealousy, rage, worry for the lifestyle and family public image the couple created, and woman's instinct that must have caused her suspicion about his honesty set in.
To that end, the news that the day before the paternity scandal set in she spent her time as a spa having a facial, manicure, pedicure, and full body massage was certainly time and money well spent and more than deserved. As for Arnie? We still respect all he has done to advance the use of green cars and green energy in California but he's off our list for being a humanitarian who lives his life doing good deeds.

Dri-Rod Dehumidifier protects guns shotguns and cameras from moisture damage. it can handle the worst kinds of humidity problems to give your gun safe the perfect environment for storing valuable firearms. Your firearms will be continuously protected from rust and mildew
Hi my name is John Dean and I am with DeanSafe.com. I want to show you a product we've been selling for years and we kind of forget about it sometimes, but it's a very important product particularly if you have a gun safe. It's a dehumidifying bar. Also in this case called a Dri-Rod, Dri-Rod
is a brand name, we love 'em because they are made in the United States. They have a lifetime warranty, they are UL rated I mean it's like a no-brainer, and they are reasonable. What it does is, is it helps eliminate dampness, rust and mildew from the contents of your safe. Now you have to plug this into the wall but, every gun safe I know of has a hole in the back, designed for the plug. This comes with the plug detached so all you have to do is stick the cord through there and then it's got a little plug kit that you hook up and you attach the thing and it works very well. It also comes with two little feet that you can either snap them off and it's got little screw detents so you can screw this into your drywall or you can just snap it on and you can just lay it in the bottom on the bottom of your safe. Actually, I just throw it in the bottom of the safe, it has been there twenty years, and I haven't had a problem. No big deal. Anyway Wonderful product. You need to check it out if you have a gun safe particularly if you're in a moist area like if you live in a swamp buy two or buy a big one, they come in different sizes. Thank you very much, this is John Dean,

After coaching opposing teams this season on The Ultimate Fighter, Bisping (21-3) and Miller (24-7) will battle in the cage for the final word. On a three-fight win streak, Bisping (21-3) is looking to stay in the running as a title contender in the UFC's 185-pound division. Miller is returning to the UFC after fighting in numerous promotions the last six years.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: Miller looks to pressure Bisping early, coming straight in and eating a jab before getting tied up in the clinch against the fence. The crowd breaks into a 'USA!' chant, and we're not more than 30 seconds in. They separate and Bisping tags Miller. He's showing damage over his right eye already, but I can't tell if it's a cut. Miller lands a looping overhand right, then gets a takedown moments later. Bisping is trying to wall-walk up the fence, but Miller has his legs trapped. Miller tries to work some short punches, but can't do much without letting Bisping get space. Bisping gets to his feet and Miller jumps in with a right. Good counter right by Bisping. Miller responds with a left. Ten seconds left. Miller forces Bisping back and drops for a takedown, but that's the round. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Miller.
Round 2: Miller goes back to work with those looping punches, but Bisping is tagging him with straight shots. Blood from the nose of Miller now. Miller shoots for a double-leg and then transitions to a single, but Bisping shuts him down. They both step in with punches and Bisping pulls away, touching his eye. Not sure if he thinks he was poked or what, but Miller didn't seem like he was buying it. After the restart, Bisping's striking is looking much crisper than Miller's, and Miller is starting to slow down. Miller misses a takedown and rolls to his back. Bisping pressures him as he tries to stand, then wings a head kick while Miller is on a knee. That would have been totally illegal if it landed, but it went over Miller's head. Miller looking very tired now, and Bisping is taking advantage, peppering him with everything he can think of. Miller puts his hands down and taunts Bisping, even as Bisping tees off on his face. Miller tries for a takedown and ends up on his back, getting hammered with elbows and just barely surviving the round. MMA Fighting scores it 10-8 for Bisping.
Round 3: Miller comes out looking for the takedown and Bisping stuffs him again, then adds a kick to the body while he's down. Miller is running on heart and fumes now, and Bisping is stalking him. Miller is circling away with his back on the fence while Bisping pursues with pinpoint strikes. Bisping stops and complains of another eye poke, but we're not paused for long. Miller tries for another takedown and ends up turtled up while Bisping slams him with punches and digs knees to his body. Miller rolls to his back and eats more punches. Bisping is pouring it on him and Miller is too tired to do much about it. Referee Steve Mazzagatti has seen enough brutality for one night, and he steps in to stop it. Miller rises and curses to himself. He's clearly still in possession of his wits, but just totally worn out. Bisping takes a bow in the center of the Octagon, to a mix of cheers and jeers. Hey, at least there were some cheers. Baby steps.
Michael Bisping def. Jason "Mayhem" Miller via TKO (strikes) at 3:34 of round three
After the official announcement, Bisping extends his hand to Miller, who takes it. Beef squashed? Maybe. For now, anyway.

Life is sweet for Garrett Gomez, and not just because he rides a filly by that name in Saturday's Santa Margarita Handicap. The Eclipse Award winner the last two years as the nation's outstanding jockey, Gomez also rides prohibitive favorite Pioneerof the Nile Saturday in the San Felipe Stakes.
Victories in those races would give Gomez 17 stakes wins at Santa Anita this meet, putting him within two of tying the record shared by Laffit Pincay Jr. (1982-83) and Corey Nakatani (1996-97) for most in a single Santa Anita campaign. Gomez, a 37-year-old native of Tucson, also is seeking his fourth consecutive national title in purse earnings. He currently is on top with more than $3 million. He also leads the standings at Santa Anita through 55 days of the 84-day session with 68 victories, 10 more than runner-up Rafael Bejarano.
If Gomez does break Santa Anita's stakes mark, he would have to do it some two weeks before the meet ends on April 19. Agent Ron Anderson has Gomez scheduled to ride regularly at Keeneland when the Kentucky meet opens on April 3, through April 24, except for a return to California on April 4 to ride in the Santa Anita Derby.
"I feel good about how things are going, definitely," Gomez said. "We've been riding some live horses and some good horses. Things are good.
"I've been working Pioneerof the Nile and he's been excellent," Gomez continued. "He's been doing exactly what Bob (Baffert) wants him to do. He's been finishing and galloping out well in all of his works. He's putting on a little weight and he's maturing as he's growing up."
Gomez is unconcerned about a possible unfavorable pace in the Grade II San Felipe at a mile and a sixteenth. Pioneerof the Nile needed a furious late burst to win the Robert B. Lewis Stakes at the same distance in his last start on Feb. 7, rallying from fifth at the head of the stretch in a nine-horse field.
"He's a versatile horse, as he showed in the CashCall Futurity," Gomez said. "He was close to the pace (third in a field of 11, winning by a nose over I Want Revenge in the mile and one sixteenth race at Hollywood Park last Dec. 20), and chased two horses. In the Lewis, it wasn't a very good trip, and he still got up. He showed me something I didn't know he had, and that was a turn of foot, so that just adds one more weapon in his arsenal."
All six of Pioneerof the Nile's races have been at a mile and a sixteenth.
Gomez is two-for-two on Life Is Sweet since the 4-year-old daughter of Storm Cat came east for owners/breeders Marty and Pam Wygod. Trained by Bill Mott before winning the El Encino Stakes and the La Caňada Stakes at Santa Anita, Life Is Sweet now is trained by John Shirreffs.
"I guess she's enjoying California," Gomez said. "She came back off a little layoff and John's done a tremendous job with her in these last couple races. She's done nothing wrong and she's a beautiful filly."
The 15 stakes victories by Gomez to date are as follows: Sir Beaufort Stakes, Dec. 26, Gio Ponti; California Breeders' Champion Stakes (fillies), Dec. 27, Saucey Evening; Monrovia Handicap, Jibboom, Jan. 3; El Encino Stakes, Jan. 18, Life Is Sweet; San Marcos Stakes, Jan. 19, Artiste Royal; Sunshine Millions Sprint, Jan. 24, Georgie Boy; Palos Verdes Handicap, Jan. 25, Johnny Eves; Santa Monica Handicap, Jan. 31, Ventura; Robert B. Lewis Stakes, Feb. 7, Pioneerof the Nile; La Canada Stakes, Feb. 15, Life Is Sweet; San Vicente Stakes, Feb. 16, Evita Argentina; Buena Vista Handicap, Feb. 16, Jibboom; San Carlos Handicap, Feb. 21, Georgie Boy; Valentine Dancer Handicap, Feb. 21, Bel Air Sizzle (dead heat); and the Crystal Water Handicap, Feb. 28, Medzendeekron.
In other San Felipe news:
Three late scratches could reduce the starting field to four. "I'm probably not running," trainer Mike Machowsky said of Kelly Leak. "The only reason I entered was if something happened to Baffert (Pioneerof the Nile)."
Said Richard Mandella of New Bay, who also is entered in Sunday's Pasadena Stakes at one mile on turf: "We're more intended for Sunday, but I'm going to watch and see what happens."
Darrell Vienna, trainer of the speedy Feisty Suances, said his chances of running were "50-50."
The field for the 72nd San Felipe, which goes as race No. 4 on a 10-race program: He's Really Big, Aaron Gryder; Pioneerof the Nile, Gomez; Feisty Suances, David Flores; Shafted, Joel Rosario; Jeranimo, Brice Blanc; Kelly Leak, Victor Espinoza; and New Bay, Joe Talamo.
Pioneerof the Nile is highweight under 122 pounds. The others are assigned 115.
The field for the 72nd Santa Margarita: Forest Melody, Mike Smith, 113; Life Is Sweet, Gomez, 120; Bel Air Sizzle, Rafael Bejarano, 114; Modification, Tyler Baze, 113; Magical Fantasy, Alex Solis, 117; Santa Teresita, Joe Talamo, 117; and Model, Joel Rosario, 116.
On the heels of a first-ever $1 million winner, Santa Anita will once again offer its popular
$1 million St. Patrick's Horseshoe Pitch contest this Saturday between races.
Saturday also is Dollar Day at Santa Anita. General admission is $1, as are programs, beer, hot dogs, popcorn and soft drinks.
Shown live last year on HRTV, the contest generated national news when John Placzankis, of Ranch Cucamonga, tossed a perfect ringer which set off instant bedlam both trackside and throughout the grandstand. In the immediate aftermath of last year's $1 million score, Placzankis, when interviewed on HRTV, exclaimed, "The drinks are on me!!"
Fans are encouraged to enter the contest, free of charge, when they attend on Saturday. Entries must be submitted by fifth race post time, and a group of 20 prospective contestants will be posted throughout the facility. Further instructions and contest information will be available on designated television monitors.
FINISH LINES: Jorge Periban is enjoying a successful meet with nine wins from 59 starters through Wednesday, but as usual, the 49-year-old trainer is flying beneath the radar as far as widespread recognition is concerned. "I've got 40 horses overall, 23 at Santa Anita," Periban said. "That's the most I've had in Southern California, although I did have 130 when I trained in Mexico City. I'm really happy with how things are going now. It was a little hard in the beginning, but with time and patience, we've come a long way." The likable Periban, who has been training since 1983, is nearing a career milestone. He needs only seven more victories to reach 500 . . . Santa Anita-based Papa Clem, second to Pioneerof the Nile in the Lewis Stakes, drew post position No. 8 in a field of 10 for Saturday's Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds . . . Ernie Zampesi, who has ably assisted several head coaches in the National Football League, including Don Coryell and his famous "Air Coryell" offense with the San Diego Chargers, will be Santa Anita's guest Thursday on the occasion of his 73rd birthday. The first race will be named in his honor. Current San Diego head coach Norv Turner also will be on hand for Zampesi's celebration . . .Darrell Vienna reports that San Antonio Handicap winner Magnum, fifth in the Santa Anita Handicap, beaten 2 ½ lengths, is pointing to the $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap on April 4. Joel Rosario rides . . . Tomorrow marks another 'Free Friday" at Santa Anita. General admission is free. Hot dogs, soda, beer, popcorn and coffee are $1. . .

By Lynne Hendricks
---- — Before he introduced his plan this week for strengthening the nation's gun control laws, President Barack Obama gathered a panel of experts to help guide the administration's new policy.
They made their way to the White House just after the new year, a group of about 15 participants called to lend their voice to a conversation that could possibly influence the president's proposal and reshape the future.
Among them was Suzanne Dubus. The executive director of the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center in Newburyport was summoned by the office of Vice President Joe Biden.
Dubus, who grew up in Haverhill and still has strong ties to the city, had been to the White House twice before to be recognized for her work with domestic violence victims. The call concerning gun control was one she immediately accepted.
"It was such an honor to be included," said Dubus, who lives in Exeter, N.H. "I got the email a few days before the meeting asking if I would like to go. Fresh on the tragedy of Newtown, my initial reaction was, 'How could you not go?'''
Dubus and her team of trained employees at the crisis center have extensive experience dealing with many of the issues that drive gun violence. In recent years, they have begun playing a central role in sharing that training to communities across the country through the center's Domestic Violence High-Risk Team.
Dubus believes the White House sought her perspective because of the organization's front-line connection to families in crisis as a result of gun and other kinds of violence.
While neither the president nor vice president were at the meeting she attended, Dubus said top-level administrators and staff, including the White House adviser on domestic violence issues, were there.
Dubus said it was Biden's intention to get participants talking about guns and gun violence and sharing their experiences. Dubus offered some of the specific lessons she has learned in developing the crisis center's high-risk team.
"We've been so successful in homicide reduction here and really identifying violent offenders and working to keep victims safer," Dubus said. "We make sure everybody has training. We make sure we are paying attention to the right risk factors and that we are the repository for that information.
"If one of the team members hears about a case or a case is brought to the organization, they bring it to the team,'' she said. "Not only do we hold the information, but we are also empowered to provide services to the victim or contain the offender. Those three things are what is lacking in a lot of these mass shootings."
Dubus said in the case of the Virginia Tech shooter, for example, several people disclosed after the tragedy that they were aware the gunman had weapons and were afraid of him, but they had no one to report that information to.
"There was no group taking responsibility to report that," Dubus said. "Had they reported it, they didn't have the tools to do anything about it."
Citing an interview with crime expert James Allen Fox, Dubus said 100 percent of the mass shooters in the last 20 years were themselves victims of bullying or early childhood violence. Dubus was intent on keeping that fact front and center during the two-hour meeting in Washington.
"I wanted to make sure people in that room stayed focused on that," Dubus said. "As domestic violence advocates, we have a role to help (victims) heal in a way so that they truly heal so they can move forward in society with healthy lives rather than the opposite.
"We have a responsibility to put systems in place to help screen in campuses and schools and communities to make sure the most violent offenders come to the attention of those who can do something about it," she said.
In general, Dubus said she felt the overriding tone of the session was that there are good laws in place, but that they're not enforced in a uniform way.
"In one state, they do a really good job of taking firearms away from people with violent restraining orders,'' she said. "Other states don't even touch them. If we could get some uniform enforcement of some really good gun laws, that could help.''
The issue of gun violence is a personal one for Dubus. In participating in events like the conversation on gun control, she feels she's carrying the flame for clients like Dorothy Guinta-Cotter, whose husband shot and killed her and then himself in their Amesbury home in 2002.
But she also thinks about all the individuals the crisis center has helped — and could help — if training could reach more people.
"When you can be quiet, and when you're not thinking about policy issues and fundraising, you really reflect on the impact," Dubus said. "You can never think about this work without thinking about the people you've lost and those you've saved. I always get teary when I'm there — it just feels so important."
Dubus said she feels optimistic seeing the Obama administration making gun violence a priority.
"What a special honor to be able to have some kind of impact,' she said, "some positive change moving forward so that 20 years from now, our culture changes so much that gun violence is part of our history.''

Gingrich versus Biery
By W. Gardner Selby
Published on Monday, February 13th, 2012 at 10:54 a.m.
Savoring his win of the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, Newt Gingrich brought up a Texas judge's comments in a court order as part of his contention that the legislative and executive branches of government should remove judges perceived as abusing their power and acting out of sync with the nation's culture.
Gingrich urged voters to check out a position paper on his campaign website about "the balance of power, putting the judiciary back in its proper role and eliminating dictatorial religious bigots such as U.S. District Judge Fred Biery in San Antonio, who issued a ruling that … not only could the students not pray at their graduation, if they used the word 'benediction,' the word 'invocation,' the word 'God,' asked the audience to stand or asked for a moment of silence, he would put the superintendent in jail."
Did Biery say all that?
Biery's court order said some of what Gingrich described, though significantly, it did not say the superintendent would go to jail if the order was violated. We rated Gingrich's claim Half True. Read our full fact-check here.

Looks a Dark brown and ruby. Moderate head that is a milk chocolate colour.
Smells of sweet vanilla with some light chocolate and coffee aroma.
Taste is subtle chocolate and coffee.
I Was expecting heavy but got quite light. Easy drinking.
My first go at a Norwegian beer. I quite like this drop and could easily drink a few of these.

500ml bottle, allowed to warm a little having come in from the outhouse, poured into a UK handled pint glass.
Pours a rich mid-black colour with a good finger of creamy brown/beige head which thins back to a half finger within a few minutes.
On the nose I got sweet flavours, sugar, roasted malt, milky choclolate and a slightly toasted kind of caramel/butter/toffee aroma.
On the palate caramel, toffee, sweet sugar, roasted malts finished with a bitter dry and slightly sweet aftertaste.
Medium bodied stout with fairly low carbonation which provided a good creamy finish.
Overall a decent stout, not quite as sweet as I was expecting but that's no bad thing!

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of coffee with some dry roasted malt notes. Taste is also dominated by dry coffee notes with some roasted malt. Medium body which is to be expected with some good carbonation. Easily drinkable as per description while still retaining some character.

Half-litre bottle tasted during my 'Drinking around Europe' evening on New Years Eve.
Black bodied beer with a light tan/biege head that stayed the distance as well as leaving some heavy lacing on my UK sleeve glass.
Malty molasses rule the nose and taste: chocolate, coffee and Brazil nuts! All in the aroma and flavours in the mouth.
Nicely put together without setting the world alight: would have prefered a little hop bitterness in the blend to be honest: this was smooth, almost creamy and bordering on rich body wise. Not as Oatmealy as I expected.

Appearance: Black, with visible bits of brown sediment that aren't very pretty (should've poured it carefully and let the sediment remain in the bottle). Pours a nice and creamy one finger head.
Aroma: Milk chocolate and coffee, roasted malt, hint of vanilla.
Taste: Coffee and liquid chocolate, with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite mild and light, but with a solid stout base.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, typical oatmeal stout softness. Medium bodied.
Overall: It's rather good for a light oatmeal stout, although I feel that this type of beer is rarely at it's best with a lowish alcohol content. It could easily get up to 6% and this might give it more robustness. Nøgne Ø rarely disappoints, and this is certainly a tasty stout, if it isn't one of their best.

Nøgne Ø - the uncompromising brewery - claims that this is their only compromise: "Norwegians are dead scared of dark beers. This is an attempt to show that there are gentle dark ales. As such Havre Stout is smooth and drinkable." Was the compromise a mistake? No, and I will give my reasons.
A: I had this one in a Vondel tulip glass, and it truly looks amazing, in a Jennifer Lopez kind of way. It is clear and black with a brown head, and there are small bobbles along the glass edges.
S: There are not very distinct aromas here, but a pleasant sweet maltiness comes through.
T: Roasted malt which gives a burnt, but not aggressive, aftertaste. The flavor is mild from the oat. No taste of alcohol here, which gives me the impression of a Schwarzbier.
M: High carbonation. It has a light dryness. Smooth and fresh.
D: Makes you ask for another one. I had this one a little too cold, which partly excuses the low aroma presence, but it may have added to its smoothness and high drinkability. All in all a very good, but slightly boring beer. I can easily see why the brewer considers this a compromise, but it's a good compromise, and If you want something good that runs down smoothly, this is the choice.

Norwegian micro oatmeal stout. Black (= very dark ruby) colour, some sediment, good head. Nice aroma of roasted malts with some coffee, dark chocolate and cigar box. Mellow, smooth and pleasant flavour, can't detect the oats, some roastedness, hints of coffee. Easy drinking. Aftertaste is OK, but I'd like some more hops.

First had: on tap at Teresa's, Wayne, PA
Great stout! Poured into a pint glass, a dark brown-black with a tan head that receded to a small but firm layer. Rich, roasty aroma of dark malts, chocolate, roasted nuts. Very rich and tasty! Strong chocolate notes up front, dark roasty malts with hints of coffee, cream, and a mild sensation of figs and plums. Silky, full-bodied and very drinkable.

500 ml bottle from Barcelona
Pours almost black with brown and creamy head in one finger thickness and excellent retention. Mild roasted grainy aroma with hints of light sweetness and low fruity esters.
Taste is lightly sweet roasted and earthy malt, hints of nuts with very dry finish and sweetish aftertaste. Mouthfeel is creamy medium-full with lower than average carbonation.
Overall, an impressive Stout, would gladly drink many of them if they would not be so expensive...

I got a huge tan head and audible carbonation off a not particularly aggressive pour. Might have got shaken up a bit in the car on the way home...? Looks great, anyway. A really rich dark brown verging on opaque.
Milk chocolatey nose and just a little coffee and dark chocolate as well. Aroma is very nice but not very forthcoming.
Smooth roasted malt (no burnt notes), bittersweet orange-y twang, nuts, mellow coffee and a bit of dry leaves or tobacco toward the end. Coffee taste comes to the fore as it warms. Creamy moutfeel from the oats, medium body with tons of tiny pinpoints of carbonation.
Very flavourful, but never insists upon itself or overwhelms. Soft and welcoming. If the cats at Nogne Ø set out to make a stout that ANYONE could (and probably should) like, they nailed it.

Pours a pretty decent dark brown, mahogany around the edge, but mostly black. Head is beautiful - medium-thick, dense and creamy foam that sinks slowly, bubbling like soap suds. Lace is thin but clings to the glass like a koala wearing suction cups on its claws. Really superb-looking stout.
Nose is dark and quite rich, with some bitter cocoa notes, slight hints of fresh vanilla and some toasted oats and other grainy characters. Smells a little sweet and I would like it to lean a little more heavily on the roasty side but still, a mild, pleasant stout smell.
Tasty. Tasty beer. Dark throughout with nice toasty flavours, slight espresso notes with some unsweetened dark chocolate and toasted wheat and barley. A sweetness comes through on the mid-palate, slightly milky and a further touch of chocolate with a hint of vanilla. Regains its bitterness for the finish with a bit of woodiness and some fresh espresso grounds, but nothing too ashy. Mouthfeel is a little watery in the mouth and a slight harshness as it goes down, but that's the only rough edge to this beer, it's otherwise a perfectly fine texture.
This is an astoundingly good session stout. Fantastically balanced, tempered and drinkable drop. Once again these naked islanders are hammering into me how well they brew.

On-tap at The Trappist in Oakland, the first time I've seen Havre Stout. On to the beer:
Black like ink with a slightly tanned head that leaves a fair helping of thin lace on the glass. The nose brings to mind smoked meat, like what you would find in an Aecht Schlenkerla brew. Here, it's like A.S. light in a way. In addition to that is a smidge of coffee.
The taste says "rauchbier light". It stays interesting throughout with that same smokey taste and a slight roasted flavor. Light bodied. All told, a solid, easy going stout. Not the most optimal value at $8 for a 33cl pour, but one could easily do worse in that department.
04-03-2011 06:52:47 | More by DoubleJ
3.83/5 rDev -0.5%
Pours black from the bottle and is completely opaque. One finger of light brown head forms and sits on top receding at an average rate and living a small lace trail behind it.
The aroma is nice. Slight coffee notes as well as some nice bitter dark chocolate.
Taste is nice. Some roasted malts, almost burnt. Also flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. Only slightly bitter, but quite nice.
Mouthfeel is thin for a beer of this style, I'm not sure I could even say medium bodied. Carbonation is also a little high for my taste.
Drinkability is moderate. Low alcohol makes for easy consumption. Flavors are fairly bold, but smooth and very enjoyable. Overall a very drinkable beer. I would definitely have a second.

3.7/5 rDev -3.9%
Pours a pleasantly thick deep and rigid black, refusing to give up any hint of its true hue, even when held to the light. Head is initially thick and mountainous, although it dissipates a little to a single finger of foam, leaving behind a trail of sudsy thick lace - indeed, it's almost too solid to call lace. Overall, a very good look for a beer.
Nose is a pleasantly leavened dark roasted character. Indeed, the oatmeal seems to give it a light cereal sweetness, which takes the edge off the heavily charred character which is its basis otherwise. Light whiffs of latex and even a slight bubblegum character leaven it yet again. Although it's fundamentally a very dark beer, it has some interesting notes which bring it out of the depths.
Taste is a little more disappointing. Certainly more of the latex and bubblegum notes, but here the lack of black depths wears a little thin, leaving very little residual bitterness on the back. Coupled with this, there's not a huge degree of body to the palate, so it feels both empty, and lacking in flavour. In some respects, this helps the drinkability, and surprisingly brings the beer into the realms of sessionability.
An interesting beer, and one which is surprisingly light and drinkable when you get down to it. I didn't expect such a readily smooth and light beer behind its black and twisted facade, but that's what I got.

Picked this up at De Bierkoning in Amsterdam.
From a bottle into a pint glass.
APPEARANCE: A gusher. Pours a very large 3+ finger medium-thin fluffy tan head. Head slowly snap, crackles and pops its way down to decent film head. Black with almost no carbonation evident. A wisp remains until the end but leaves no lacing down the glass. The beginning of the experience, what with the gushing and the thin crackly head, left a little to be desired. I don't like hearing my beer.
SMELL: A mild nose of roasted malt with some slight hints of pure chocolate, coffee, and roasted oats as well. Pleasant.
TASTE: This was much better. Some roasted malt up front with hints of chocolate and coffee again. Some sweet caramel malt with a cool twang in there as well. Some nice touches of oats and nuts makes this one stand out. The mild and shorter aftertaste is slightly roasted with some caramel sweetness as well. Not bad at all.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. Oats make this one pretty creamy on the palate, goes down smooth and finishes with a bit of dryness on the palate.
OVERALL: This one turned out pretty good, despite the lousy beginning and slightly off putting look on the pour. Had a good taste profile and was a very drinkable oatmeal stout. This one is not really a ponderer, but would make a great session beer if one came across it in Denmark.

From 04/25/11 notes. Had on tap at Churchkey in Washington, DC.
a - Pours a dark brown, almost black color, with less than one inch of tan head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of roasted malts, coffee, oatmeal, cream, and nuts.
t - Tastes of coffee, roasted malts, oatmeal, cream/vanilla, and dark fruits.
m - Medium body and low to moderate carbonation, smooth and creamy body.
o - Overall this was a very drinkable, very nice oatmeal stout. Great mouthfeel and some definite cream/oatmeal in the nose and taste. Would order it again.

Deep black body from the pour, theres a thick looking tan head that settles pretty quickly. The smell is of dark chocolate and roasted malts. The taste follows through the same as the nose, I expected it to be a little heavier. The mouthfeel was nicely carbonated and fairly easy to drink. This is a pretty good easy going stout.

A - Pours a dark, dark brown with a few centimetres of tan head that sits for a fair while.
S - Not much apart from milk chocolate and a slight nutty hint.
T - Taste comes to the party; milk & bitter sweet dark chocolate, a bit of roastiness & some dark fruit hints as well as a herbal hop character.
M - Medium bodied with a medium to high carbonation. A bit of a charred aftertaste.
D - A pretty good sessionable stout. Something I could drink more of.

Purchased at the UTOBEER stall in the Borough Market, London Bridge. BB date is 01/03/06, served cool in a broad rimmed chalice.
A: pours a ebony hue with some mahogany hints when seen against light; the thin but foamy, tan head slowly dissipates and leaving a very thin sheet on the top.
S: roasted and a bit meaty upfront~~ strong note of tabacco and charred-wood expands freely after swirling, while a firm background note of coffee beans, sweet dates and plums, a flow of aromatic fruity scent lingers at the back... Nice and subtly complex~~
T: a silky-smooth textured dark and roasted-malty palate, backed by mixed and light flavour of dark plums, cold coffee, mild roasted nuts, and balanced with a faintly sour edge of roasted barley and dark fruits; a delicately smokey and tobacco-ish overtone surrounds the mouth, leaving a licorice-like herbal-sweet aftertaste on top of a rather clean, malty finish.
M&D: very very smooth and soft on the mouthfeel and extremely light-bodied, this stout is surprisingly easy to drink. The overall flavour is maybe not so rich for an oatmeal stout or a stout, but I could sense plenty of delicate elements being threaded nicely in this black gem. Yet another very good beer by Nøgne Ø~~

The Alabama State Department of Education is releasing hard numbers on the state's 4-year high school graduation rate.
[DOCUMENT: 2012-13 High School Graduation Rates (.pdf)]
The Dept. of Education says efforts to keep students in school are gaining traction and it points at a rising graduation rate as proof. The rate, at 80 percent, is up considerably from a year prior when it stood at 75 percent and 72 percent just a year before that.
Superintendent Dr. Tommy Bice says for every one percent increase in the graduation rate, about 600 additional students graduate from an Alabama high school. That means in the last two years more than 4,800 more students have graduated from high school, and on time.
"Not only is this increase significant for our students, but it is significant for our state's long-term economic impact as well," Dr. Bice said. More students graduating from high school means more students going to college, starting careers, and becoming productive, tax-paying citizens."
Bice credits the rise in rates to the BOE's PLAN 2020 which had a goal of 80 percent graduation rate by 2016. The goal is 90 percent by the end of the decade.
The plan's success hinges on efforts to address the reasons why students drop out of high school and provide support to keep them enrolled. "We've seen school systems use their people, funding, time, and other resources in creative ways to meet the needs of students contemplating dropping out," Bice said.

|Many fed up with government
By Cal Thomas
A new Associated Press-GfK (AP-GfK) poll reveals some troubling statistics for members of both major political parties, if they can be troubled, given what looks to be their lack of concern for what they are doing to the country.
The poll finds fewer people approve of President Obama's job performance (confirmed by a new Gallup Poll, which shows a 37% approval rating), but that Republicans score even worse at 5% approval. The AP-GfK poll "finds few people approve of the way the president is handling most major issues and most people say he's not decisive, strong, honest, reasonable or inspiring." It looks like hope has vanished. We can't say we weren't warned.The poll also shows many people are fed up

Now that we've made it through Hurricane Sandy and the sun is finally shining, I thought this would be the perfect weekend to cook out one last time before putting the grill away for the winter.
This recipe offers grilled chicken with a savory marinade combining fresh lime juice and chipotle chile.
So pull out the grill one last time and give this Fusion Grilled Chicken a shot!
Start by pounding the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. In a shallow dish, whisk oil, tequila, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, ginger, chile, and salt. Reserve 1/3 cup of this marinade, then put the chicken in dish, turn to coat, and marinate 30 minutes.
Then grill chicken over medium heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above grill level only 4 to 5 seconds), turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, simmer reserved marinade until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream, then remove from heat. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce and garnished with cilantro, if you like. Serve extra sauce and a green salad on the side.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 cup garlic-infused olive oil (see notes)
- 2 tablespoons each tequila and fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle chile
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- Chopped cilantro (optional)

All of a sudden i have a problem with Ovi store on Nokia N8. When i want to open Ovi store it starts with OVI Nokia screen and then after 15 seconds it just shuts down. And also I can't reinstall OVI store. Anyone having same problem?
14-11-2010 13:40
this is one sololution to make Ovi store work,have not tried my self but read about It and It should work..try If you like..let me now If It work..
If ovi store exist unistall go to menu/setting/applicationmanger/installed apps
then download Qt package Qt_4_7_for_Symbian_3_Developer_Version_v1_0_en from wiki.forum.nokia.com
there are 2 zip files in it (qt 4.7 and qt 4.6),select qt 4.6 for symbian 2 files in it qt sis and qt webkit sis install both,
restart phone, after that go to menu/web/ovi when it open ask for download ovi store click the link
then ovi store will be reinstalled,restart your phone and it works fine.
14-11-2010 14:52
The problem is I can't uninstall Ovi store. When I press uninstall, nothing happens.
I've installed qt_4_7_0_opengl.SIS and qtwebkit_2_1.SIS, but it doesn't help. Should I try to install also 4.6 version of qt and webkit? Anyway I don't want to hard reset the phone just now, but if nothing else will help, i will just have to do that.
14-11-2010 16:04
I have remembered something. Maybe the problem is, because i've uninstalled Ovi Store Installer from Installed Application, which was there from the beggining? I uninstalled it because I thought it is just an installer for Ovi store and that the phone has no use from it.
14-11-2010 19:03
Thank you Pranu, that worked for me!
I have no idea what those Qt -files are, but they seemed to do the trick. Kudos for you dear sir!
14-11-2010 19:09
Happy that I could help you...
14-11-2010 22:11 - edited 14-11-2010 22:12
In the instruction it says qt 4.6 " DO NOT INSTALL qt 4.7"
14-11-2010 22:38
there seems to be another thread about It as well
15-11-2010 5:21
I know it says qt 4.6, but I was installing qt4.7 before your answer.
Anyway, the problem is that i can't uninstall ovi store. I also installed 4.6 and it didn't help.
15-11-2010 8:36
I've found several files in C:\resource\apps\:
ovistore_2002D07F.r01 to .r96.

21-11-2010 12:58 - edited 21-11-2010 13:03

Summer Wine - Version 1.0 Announced for June
Wine, the Windows API for Linux is moving towards the first stable version, 1.0, in its history of 15 years of development.
According to the roadmap, this version will probably hit the mirror servers June 6 this year. Before this happens, there will be a release candidate which will merely include a couple of improvements to avoid endangering key applications.
Key applications are four programs which are guaranteed to run stably in version 1.0.0: Photoshop CS 2, Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel and Word Viewer in the 97 and 2003 versions. Version 1.1.0 will be a major bugfix release; minor releases with version numbers starting at 1.0.1 will probably fix minor bugs.
On the website with the roadmap announcement the developers explain the limit of four key applications; every additional application would entail enormous testing overhead, and this is extremely time-consuming. At the same time, the project encourages Wine users to test even known platinum programs with the new 1.0 version and to return feedback to the developer list.
Right now, the list of Platinum programs includes 1229 applications and games that run out-of-the-box on Wine. Less perfectly supported software has either gold, silver or bronze status. Programs that have not run at all on Wine previously are listed as "garbage" by the project. The AppDB on the WineHQ website gives users the ability to check how well Wine supports the Windows applications they need, and how to avoid installation issues.

Paul George scored 25 points to lead all five Indiana starters in double figures and the Pacers won their fourth straight with a 112-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.
Roy Hibbert scored 20, Lance Stephenson 16, George Hill 15 and David West 14 for the Pacers. Indiana's seventh victory in eight games lifted them a half-game ahead of idle New York for second in the Eastern Conference.
Goran Dragic, who sat out the previous two games for rest, had 21 points and nine assists for the Suns before fouling out with 1:10 to play.
Indiana made 34 of 46 free throws, its season high in makes and attempts. The Suns, losers of six in a row, were outscored 10-3 over the final three minutes.

BART on strike!
Original post made on Jul 2, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Sunday, June 30, 2013, 7:10 AM

We paid tax to build the Bart, we paid much higher fare than New York, we paid them very decent package(better than most private companies compare to their competencies). This is what we get and we don't deserve this. They have no right for strike since it is public services provided by the government. Why don't we sell it to private company and let they run in a more efficient way? Fire them all and hire people who don't join the stupid audicious Union.
on Jul 2, 2013 at 10:32 am
Please educate the public about how you feel way inside "FAYE" so that we can all UNDERSTAND your RAGE...tee hee
We live in the United States of America. Unless you've forgotten, the strikers are exercising their rights...did you forget?
on Jul 2, 2013 at 12:25 pm
Isn't BART management and BART workers one in the same? They both feed from the public trough. What is good for the goose is good for the gander in this case. There is no shareholders to be accountable to except the taxpayer, and when was the last time you saw anyone in government actually care what the taxpayer thinks or gives a damn on how taxpayers' money is spent.
If the BART union is so interested in safety, the first thing to do is automate the system and do away with the human element. Automated controls are much more reliable then humans. Plus they do not require raises, medical benefits, or pensions....or go on strike.

Seen at the Movies:
Probably only the powerhouse combination of director Steven Soderbergh, producer James Cameron, and star George Clooney could have gotten a major studio to release a movie like Solaris in the year 2002. A loose remake of Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 film of the same name (both movies are based on a novel by Stanislaw Lem), Solaris also recalls a more cerebral brand of science fiction that was occasionally produced by Hollywood studios in the late 60s and 70s: not only 2001, but something like the 1971 THX-1138, directed by George Lucas in decidedly pre-Star Wars mode.
The story is fairly simple: at an unspecified date in the future, psychologist Dr. Chris Kelvin (Clooney) is dispatched to the remote space station Prometheus, whose commander has committed suicide and whose two remaining crew members are tormented by a mysterious force. Kelvin soon discovers the variety if not the source of the problem when his deceased wife (Natascha McElhone) starts putting in seductive appearances aboard the station.
I'm a big fan of the original Solaris and of Tarkovsky's work in general. But the late director's movies (they also include Andrei Rublev, Stalker, and The Sacrifice), which are typically long, dense, and slow moving, are not to many people's tastes. Though Soderbergh tells the story in a bit more than 90 minutes—as opposed to Tarkovsky's 165—his Solaris doesn't make a lot of other concessions to restless multiplex audiences. Yet the director's impulse to make an art film is at times undercut by a tendency towards conventional explication, and an American-seeming literal-mindedness. Even if the movie doesn't quite reach a transcendent plane, however, it's a beaut in many departments, from the austere cinematography (credited to Peter Andrews, a pseudonym for Soderbergh himself) and production design by Philip Messina to the subtly futuristic costumes by Milena Canonero. The visual effects, supervised by Brooke Breton, are also minimalist, but quite vibrant in the depiction of the title planet. Also worth mentioning are Cliff Martinez's contemplative score, and the fact that Clooney delivers what is possibly his most passionate performance.
Treasure Planet, the newest animated feature from Disney, is a noisier kind of space opera with a somewhat eccentric gimmick: transposing Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island to space, but retaining traditional sailing vessels and nautical equipment from the book's 19th-century setting. While the conceit is a bit strained, it provides for some real visual splendor, especially if the film can be caught on an IMAX® screen (it was formatted for both 35mm and large-format venues). The 3D digital sets and effects are so vivid that one's notions about the separation between cartoon and live action break down. It's the character drawing and animation that periodically bring us back to the old-fashioned Magic Kingdom, and the fairly uninspired storytelling that hold us there. Treasure Planet is directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, with art direction by Andy Gaskill, visual effects by Dave Tidgwell, and computer graphics imagery supervised by Kyle Odermatt.
On a more adult-themed level, don't miss Rebecca Miller's Personal Velocity, one of the year's best movies. The drama's triptych construction provides for portraits of three diverse women (played by Kyra Sedgwick, Parker Posey, and Fairuza Balk) whose fates are separate but momentarily related by chance. DP Ellen Kuras uses the digital video format more sensitively than perhaps anyone else has. (For an article about Kuras' work on the movie, check out the November issue of LD, or read it online.) At times, Personal Velocity looks and feels like an Impressionist painting: its characters' moods are as ephemeral as the weather.--John Calhoun
Seen Off Broadway: It's a shame that The General From America, produced by Theatre for a New Audience, got such chilly reviews; to me, Richard Nelson's historical drama is one of the most original plays of the season. The title character is Benedict Arnold, an infamous but rather shadowy figure in American history. In Nelson's telling Arnold is a leading patriot—he led a decisive victory in the Revolutionary War—and also an egotist and blowhard who, under the stress of war, social upheaval, accusations of financial improprieties, and the proddings of his young wife, defects to the British, with disastrous results. The play's most interesting aspect is its depiction of the American Revolution as a bloody morass of intrigue and betrayals, in which citizens' committees actively suppress dissent and generals are forced to sign loyalty oaths.
At a time when sentimental patriotism is running amuck, this highly unsentimental history lesson has a bracing effect. The production is not an unalloyed triumph, however: most of the dramatic tension is contained in the first act, with the second devoted to the sad unraveling of Arnold's career after a plot to capture George Washington goes disastrously awry. Still, Corin Redgrave is superb as Arnold, making him a complex character buffeted by winds of rage and pride, and there is good work also from Jon DeVries as a heartsick, morally compromised Washington, Nicholas Kepros as a British general who takes more than a casual interest in one of his majors, and Jesse Pennington as a suave Alexander Hamilton. Unfortunately, Yvonne Woods' flat, uninflected line readings do very little for the role of Arnold's callow, conniving wife.
Douglas Stein's setting, a wooden deck and back wall consisting mostly of doors, conveys a strong period feeling; it also provides a flexible environment for a script that shuttles between New York, Philadelphia, and West Point. Susan Hilferty's costumes—military uniforms for the men and period dresses for the ladies--are masterly in their detail; she is especially skilled are creating clothing that is both historically accurate and theatrically appropriate. Scott Lehrer's sound design provides a constant sense of the world outside each scene, including the sounds of crowds and battles, and makes effective of period music to bridge each scene. James F. Ingalls' lighting makes an admirable attempt to recreate the candlelit look of those times, but he could up the wattage a little--at times, the actors' faces are hard to see. One or two scenes, making use entirely of offstage sources spilling through a doorway, don't really work. Overall, though, The General From America is worth your attention.--David Barbour
Seen in Orlando: Walking the aisles of the recent IAAPA trade show in Orlando was the newly slimmed down version of Phil Lindsey, formerly a pyro-maniac at Disneyland in Anaheim. Not only has Lindsey shed 70 pounds, he's also started a pyro company of his own, A Shot In The Dark Productions, based in Ontario, California. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.--Ellen Lampert-Gréaux
Seen in Las Vegas: One of the highlights of LDI2002 in Las Vegas last month was the "Inside Las Vegas" tour of interesting attractions around town. A real standout was a tour of "The Art Of The Motorcycle" (currently on exhibit through January 5) at the Guggenheim Las Vegas at The Venetian Hotel. Lighting designer Traci Klainer, part of the New York City-based Luce Group, led the tour through the two-story exhibit housed in the Guggenheim space designed by architect Rem Koolhaus.
The exhibit itself was designed by architect Frank Gehry, with large, highly reflective polished stainless steel walls, towering chain-link curtains, and glass floors wrapping around an incredible collection of motorcycles. The challenge for Klainer was to effectively light the motorcycles as art in such a reflective environment. She did a great job, proving that lighting design, like the motorcycle, is indeed an art.--ELG
