How long does a Web page last on the Net? All too often we pull a collection of bookmarks together, only to find when doing research that one or more pages have disappeared since we noted them.
Both Evernote ( www.evernote.com) and Clipmarks ( www.clipmarks.com) are in the business of helping you make notes and save information, but you may also want to look at the new iCyte ( www.icyte.com). This is a free service that works as a browser toolbar in either Internet Explorer or Firefox, and it's at home on a PC or a Mac.
Highlight text on a Web page and you can then click the iCyte toolbar icon to save the information. The software saves the text, but it also archives the entire Web page in your iCyte collection.
iCyte's virtue is the power of its search and organizational tools combined with a straightforward user interface. The software also offers a collaborative feature that lets you work with others on research projects, contributing your own articles and seeing what others have come up with. With tools like these, the old browser "bookmark" metaphor is in danger of being rendered obsolete.
The days of Microsoft as the villain in antitrust proceedings may not be over, but competition is evidently emerging.
In fact, Christine Varney, who now heads the Justice Department's antitrust division, has recently been blunt in her assessment of Google as a dominant force that could potentially stifle competition. How? By taking full advantage of its enormous presence in the realm of cloud computing, where programs once solely on the desktop can now be used online. What emerges is an operating environment with an eerie similarity to what Microsoft has built on individual PCs.
Google recently announced that it would be releasing its own operating system this year. Evidently built around the Chrome browser running on top of Linux, the new software raises questions about how extensively Google might be able to track user actions and what kind of options it will offer to turn such tracking off.
But back to the cloud. We all have to weigh the advantages of using software against the danger of sharing information we consider private. On a recent trip to Italy, for example, I found Google's Gmail service to be a huge advantage. Gmail offered an interface I was familiar with and one that let me log in, receive and respond to my mail no matter where I happened to be or what kind of computer I was using at the time.
That's a powerful argument for Gmail, but it takes only a few minutes using the service to feel someone looking over your shoulder. Gmail's contextual advertising means that if I receive a message about astronomy, I'll get ads for telescopes alongside it. Contextual advertising involves going through my content to try to sell me things, and Google is a master at it.
So how comfortable are we with sharing this information with Google? For that matter, how comfortable are we with having our private e-mail stored potentially forever on someone else's machines? My solution is to use Gmail only for nonconfidential traffic, but it's an easy line to cross. And many people use services such as Google Calendar, listing their schedules, and Google Maps, whose related location services can use cell towers and Wi-Fi to tell where users are. See why Google is raising eyebrows?
We'll want to look at the new operating system with interest and, yes, with some caution.

A dozen Libertarian candidates filed to run for state House positions this week, pledging to put their party back on the state map after a few years of invisibility.
A few of the candidates went together to the Capitol on Friday to register their candidacies.
Steven Nielson, an Orting resident running against Republican Rep. J.T. Wilcox of Yelm in the 2nd District — which overlaps the Thurston-Pierce county line — led the charge. He was among the many third-party or alternative candidates who got into the action on the final day of filing.
"Libertarians are going to win. We've got a group of candidates who are here to take this state back," Nielson, a quality engineer in the aerospace industry, told supporters inside the state Capitol. "We want to limit the government role in our wallets and our bedroom. We're here to free Washington's voters."
The 12 Libertarians who filed are mounting challenges around the state, in places such as Spokane, Mead, Vancouver, Longview, Sequim, Redmond, Seattle and Bellingham.
Libertarians won major party status in Washington in 2000 when three of their statewide candidates received at least 5 percent of the vote, permitting them nearly automatic access to the November ballot. But few third-party candidates have gotten that far since the state's top-two primary system took effect in 2008, allowing only two finalists to compete in the final round.
Filing week ended Friday afternoon, although special filing periods will be held in any districts that failed to attract any candidates.
By day's end, Nielson wasn't the only alternative to Wilcox for voters in the 2nd. Rick Payne of Graham filed, identifying himself with the Marijuana Party.
And Democrat Greg Hartman of Orting filed to run in the 2nd District's other House race against first-year Rep. Graham Hunt, a Republican from Orting. Hartman ran for the House in 2012 and lost.
Another incumbent getting a last-minute challenge is Puyallup Republican Rep. Hans Zeiger, who's seeking his third term in the 25th District. He faces Eric Renz, a Puyallup Democrat who leads adult education ministries at First Presbyterian Church of Puyallup.
Several Tacoma challengers filed on the final day, including two against Rep. Laurie Jinkins, a Democrat running for a third term. Republican real-estate agent Rodger Deskins challenged Jinkins in the heavily Democratic 27th District. Also filing was Robert Hill, a perennial candidate and convicted felon sometimes known as the Traveller.
Micah Anderson filed late Thursday to run in the 27th against Rep. Jake Fey, a Democrat seeking a second term. Anderson identified as preferring the Framer Party. He and Fey also face Steven Cook, a Republican. All three men are from Tacoma.
Independent Kevin Heiderich entered a crowded race for an open seat in the mostly suburban 28th District. Heiderich has worked for a software company and for businesses related to medical marijuana, including one making cannabis-infused food.
He joins two Republicans, school board member Paul Wagemann of Lakewood and restaurateur Monique Valenzuela Trudnowski of University Place, and two Democrats, school board president Christine Kilduff of University Place and John Connelly of Lakewood, who has worked as a bricklayer and hospital orderly and now is in sales.
Bonney Lake's Lynda Messner filed as a Democrat against Auburn Republican Sen. Pam Roach, who also faces Enumclaw Republican Rep. Cathy Dahlquist and Enumclaw Democrat Lane Walthers.
Among last-day filers in federal races was Jennifer Gigi Ferguson of Lakewood. She filed as an Independent Party candidate in the 10th Congressional District, which runs from Olympia to Shelton, Puyallup and University Place. Ferguson ran as a socially conservative Democrat in 2012 but lost in the primary.
Already filed were U.S. Rep. Denny Heck, D-Olympia, Pierce County Council member Joyce McDonald, R-Puyallup, and Human Rights Party candidate Sam Wright of Olympia.
In the 6th Congressional District that includes Tacoma and the Olympic Peninsula, Douglas Milholland of Port Townsend filed as a Green Party candidate. Already filed were first-term Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, Republican Marty McClendon of Gig Harbor and W. McPherson of Port Angeles, who listed no party preference.
U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Bellevue, added two new challengers in addition to Seattle Democrat Don Rivers in the left-leaning 9th Congressional District. They are Mark Greene of Bellevue, identifying with the Citizens Party, and a Republican, Doug Basler of Kent.

One of New Orleans' most celebrated parades, Rex reigns each year on Fat Tuesday, the final day of Carnival. Its 139-year history is among the city's most storied, and to learn more about the history of the krewe, we went to its home base on S. Claiborne Avenue where all of the work on the floats is done.
We had Dr. Stephen Hales, Rex's archivist and author of a new book on the krewe, give us a tour of the den to let us see some of the krewe's floats and its relics of the past.
Rex rides March 8 this year. To see the route, head to our special Mardi Gras section.

What we did expect was it to be a fun ship cruise with lots of stuff to do on board. What we did get was 5 comedy shows, and some dance classes.
I will go with the good first.
(1) Cabin steward, dining workers, and the personal shopper Jade were all hard working.
(2) Camp carnival got the kid away so we could have fun, however we made this mistake of letting her sign herself out.
(3) The comedy shows were great
The mediocre
(1) the food, let me say this. The buffet's are great, dining at night in the dining room left a lot to be desired. How anybody gains weight on these ships is beyond me. I ate better food in the mass hall during basic training.
The bad
(1) The elevators I have to rank as the worst part of the ship. Over half the elevators were out of service. The ones that were working had problems, such as getting stuck, and the doors not closing or opening.
(2) The pain job is horrible; on certain parts of the ship you can see where they painted over the railing time and again without removing previous layers of paint, this is shoddy work.
(3) Our cabin air, during the day it did not work, at night it froze us to death.
(4) Communications with the crew and the workers. I don't know how anything gets done that ship, with 30 different languages being spoke. I only found a handful of workers who actually spoke English to where I could get what I wanted.
The intolerable:
Sunday night last day before docking back at New Orleans, we had an incident. We were in the comedy club, the comedian was midway though his show. The entire ship lurched you could hear what sounded like metal on metal. Folks got knocked out of their seats, and even some of the bar runners got knocked over. The comedian stopped his show for a second as folks scrambled about, and then he made the comment "Hey I know its Armageddon but let me finish my show, im sure we got plenty of time to get on the life boats". Well we sat there not moving, and 30 minutes later our the captain of the ship got on the Horne and said "Due to a medical emergency we have entered the Mississippi river early and we will be docking with the Coast Guard to do a medical transfer. This finally calmed folks down. It would have been nice to have hear him say that before almost wrecking the ship, and scaring the devil out of folks.
Monday after we docked. The disembarkation by zone was handled so bad it was not funny. Folks would ride down the atrium elevators and break in line, and cause problems. It took 3.5 hours to disembark. We were sitting on the promenade deck waiting for our zone to be called. Well some idiot worker on the ship decided to test the lifeboat lowering mechanism on 2 of the lifeboats. The descended and one of them hit the window where we were sitting, this scared the devil out of us and my kid and several other folks.
Carnival claims it is a fun ship. Well I don't think so. The only things to do on board are to get drunk, act like a fool, and go to the casino. There sure are not enough activities to go too.
Carnival needs to put the Elation in dry dock and fix the electrical problems. Then the need to teach their chef's how to cook. They need to get more activities.

I hadn't heard of these guys until Alive first hit the radio. While I really like that track, it was Youth Of the Nation which really hooked me, a sensitive, powerful song which will be inspiration to Christians and non-Christians alike, with an honest look at the problems young people face. It was that which tempted me to buy the CD. Although nothing quite matches YOTN, the overall quality is high.The comment I really can't understand is that the album is repetitive. While many tracks are rooted in hard rock with a touch of rap, there are also slower moodier numbers and a touch of reggae, with guest performers on several tracks. Things like Ridiculous and Without Jah, Nothing make a nice change from the normal sound, with Ghetto also especially inspirational, and Thinking About Forever takes a subject which causes some horrible songs (the death of your mother) and still carries it off.That the group are Christian may make a little difference to your perspective on the album. I'm not religious myself but I didn't find it preachy, except for maybe 1 or 2 tracks. It makes a change from much rock and rap endorsing violence, hatred, negativity and mysogeny, which is all very well but doesn't save people (in any sense). Listening to the CD ought to make you feel happier and more positive about the world as a whole, whatever you believe
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I borrowed P.O.D's "Satellite" from a friend and I really did not expect much at all from it. I had thought "Fundamental Elements" was a decent CD but nothing great. Anyway, I was really blown away by this CD the first time that I listented to it. It is full of all different types of music (ie "Ridiculous" and part of "Without Jah, Nothin') so do not expect an album that sounds like something Korn would release. The CD starts out with the catchy "Set It Off", and it does exacly that to this CD. "Alive", the first single, is next. I was not into this particular song the first time I heard it, but I have grown to really like it. "Boom" takes over next, and it is a great track that keeps the CD rolling. It is sort of like "Set it Off" part two in it's message and it's style. The chilling "Youth of the Nation" is next. This song is pretty much just a freestyle rap song, but it's lyrics are really..chilling and the end with the children singing the chorus is really well done. The filler "Celestial" is next. It is better than the fillers off of "Fundamental Elements" but it is still..a filler. "Satellite" is next up, and it could likely be the next single. I am pretty sure this song is inspired by the unfortunate death of Sonny's mother. This particular number is a nu-metal staple. "Ridiculous" is the next song up, and it really slows the tempo of the CD. It is a funky sounding reggae tune, nothing like anything on a Limp Bizkit or RATM album. It's really woth listening to though. "The Messenjah" is a great all out rocker, but it's nothing really special at all. It sounds alot like the title track but it's not quite as good. "Guitarras de Amor" is the second filler, it's just the guitarist playing some Spanish-sounding thing. "Anything Right" is a nice stellar song that really sums up the CD up to that point. It is full of great screaming and angst. "Ghetto" is an ok song, but it's the low point of the album. "Masterpeice Conspiracy" is a fast paced rock song that is really good. The guitars are somewhat like a RATM song. "Without Jah, Nothin'" is one of my favorites. It starts out like an all out punk rock song and turns into a mellow reggae piece. This song was really well thought out and the result is great. "Thinking about Forever" and "Portrait" are both decent song, but they are at the end of the album for a reason. All in all this CD is a great buy, and anyone who is even slightly interested should pick it up.
I had been hearing a lot of System of a Down's "Toxicity" album lately–and loving it. This made me reflect on the new music I had listened to in 2001, and got me thinking on my picks for my favorite album of the past year. I basically narrowed it down to "Toxicity" and "Satellite." For a while it was a toss-up. However, I just got done listening to "Satellite" again, all the way through, and there's no longer any doubt in my mind–P.O.D. has produced THE best album of 2001. The CD is AMAZING. Songs like "Set if Off," "The Messenjah," and especially "Portrait" can rock the hell out of you and still manage to be inspiring on a very sublime level. Track-by-track, the band stays true to its roots, but never becomes predictable. Yes, you'll here that Jesus loves you. But you'll also hear songs about school shootings ("Youth of the Nation"), moments of well-deserved self-promotion ("Boom"), and even an angry rant against judgmental Christians ("Anything Right"). There's considerably less screaming on "Satellite" than on albums past–vocalist Sonny Sandoval spends more time with on-the-money rhyming and several forays into straight-up melody (all of which wind up being successful –and moreso than last albums's "Set Your Eyes to Zion," in my opinion). This maturing of style will inevitably lead some to claim that P.O.D. has "sold out." I pity those people–they cheat themselves out of the best sonic experience of the year!
This cd without a doubt shows that POD's capable of so much more. Yes, all of Sonny's rapping is still in tact, not to mention his trademark scream, but in comparisson to their last album, there's a whole lot more singing. The songs are still as aggressive (if not more) as ever when they're suppose to be and the softer parts hold their ground and make them so much more dynamic through contrast. The beauty behind this cd is that it is a sound that's real. It all comes together quite well. Taking a stand and expressing their feelings and beliefs that doesn't sound like some fake put on angry sound or the other extreme with really panzy flaky music. A problem that many spiritual groups seem to stumble into. To me it takes on a stand that there are things to look forward to in life. That God is constantly watching over us. And it's all done with a confidence that just seems to say to me that POD's out there with their priorities in life. God plays a huge factor in their day and yes, they do go through their problems but because of their faith, they overcome them. POD reveals who they are and don't feel like they need to prove anything to anyone because it's already so real in their hearts. This cd is definitely worth checking out, I was skeptical because I never got into their last cd but this time around they've really gotten a bit of everything in there, rock, metal, rap, hip hop, spanish guitar, tribal and even some strings and a childrens choir. I'm not saying that you'll fall in love with every track because I myself haven't yet, but it looks like this'll be one of those albums that can grow on you the more you listen to it. My personal favorites so far are: Set It Off, Alive, Boom, Satellite, The Messenjah, and Portrait.Set It Off: Kicks off "Satellite" with a driving intro, the song goes back and forth with having quiet verses that sound like they came out of "Tribal" then to a very aggressive chorus that sounds like an order to start a riot.Alive: Great rock guitar work and a very uplifting over all sound, where the solid girth of the overall tone make it sound confident and true in the lyrics.Boom: The intro sounds like one of Rammsteins new songs (track 8, I don't know the german name for it). Lots of palm muting guitar work and I myself get a kick out of the "boom!" yelled during the chorus.Youth of the Nation: This is a deep song as it does summarize the truth concerning many troubled incidents that take place at schools across North America. Dealing with suicide, and the shootings. The instruments sound like something that Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit would've put together. It ends with a childrens choir singing the chorus.Celestial: An instrumental piece. It sounds good but I find myself skipping this track as it repeats itself over and over again.Satellite: I can see Maynard singing this chorus. The verses sound like it is a cross between "Set Your Eyes On Zion" and parts of that Offspring song "The Kids Aren't Alright." This song has great progression as it builds itself into the chorus very well.Ridiculous: This song's got a raggae sound. Not my cup of tea but it works.The Messenjah: This is a great song. It's one of those rally around the cause kind of songs. It's got a very aggressive full sound overall. Once again though, the clean work makes me think of Limp Bizkit.Guitarras de Amor: This instrumental just sounds cool. Without a doubt, it's a spanish guitar piece.Anything Right: This one reminds me off, Metallica. The way the band itself plays, not mention the string arrangement that immediately makes me think of "S&M".Ghetto: It builds up eventually but seems to drag a bit too much. It's got a hint of Alien Ant Farm riffs in it.Masterpiece Conspiracy: A good song when I'm in the right mood.Without Jah, Nothing: Crazy punk song with histerical yelling. I can't figure if the guest vocal's voice is extremely funny or just annoying.Thinking About Forever: A quiet and sobre piece based on reflection. One of those songs that those who have lost a loved one can really relate to. With the whole terrorist thing that just happened, I'm sure that those who lost their mom's would feel this one out.Portrait: Taking a bite out off religion and putting a personal touch on Sonny's interpretation of a Jesus that's a reality in his life. All done in a very no nonsense and aggressive manner. Great Song.
I'll try to keep this short, but it's hard with such an amazing CD. Here's a quick description of the tracks:1. Set it Off: Amazing guitar riffs, and outstanding vocals. Perfect introduction.2. Alive: If you don't already know and love it, come out from under your rock.3. Boom: Equally as good as Set it Off, but with a much different tune.4. Youth of the Nation: Eerie beats and a solemn teenage choir-fits the song perfectly.5. Celestial: A cool, instrumental interlude.6. Satellite: One of the best songs, with great lyrics and a cool alternative background.7. Ridiculous: An odd, fast-paced reggae-rock song featuring Eek-A-Mouse. I personally don't like reggae, but I love this catchy song.8. The Messenjah: Perhaps my favorite, this track features pure words combined with an adrenaline-pumping heavy metal beat.9. Guitarras de Amor: A happy little guitar interlude.10. Anything Right: Though it starts out much like Alive, the melodic violins and swaying vocals make this a unique song. Features Christian Lindskog from Blindside.11. Ghetto: At first I didn't like this slow tune, but I soon realized the powerful lyrics that balanced it out.12. Masterpiece Conspiracy: I'm not saying it's bad, but it's my least favorite song on the album. (Although I do admit I like the odd ending.)13. Considered an interlude, it is really a fast-then-slow-paced punk song including H.R. from Bad Brains.14. Thinking About Forever: A mellow yet incredible song.15. Portrait: A peculiar mixture of different styles of music.If you haven't heard this album yet, get it!!!Got to go.

'General Hospital' tough guy may be moving to Genoa City
"General Hospital" favorite Steve Burton said he was retiring to the outskirts of Nashville for a spell. Only three months later, however, buzz has him heading for "The Young and the Restless." While his arrival in Genoa City is no surprise, be warned: It has not been confirmed.
Bing : More about "The Young and the Restless" | 'General Hospital' | Steve Burton
When Steve Burton wrapped his run at "General Hospita"' after 21 years and hung up Jason "Stone Cold" Morgan's leather jacket, many soap aficionados suspected his former exec producer Jill Farren Phelps would lure him over to her new stomping grounds, "The Young and the Restless." Burton insisted he was looking to move his family out of Los Angeles for a spell, but now TV Guide is reporting the inevitable has happened: Their sources reveal Burton has signed a "major role" that will "start soon," though CBS hasn't confirmed that.
Plus: TV characters we lost in 2012 | Best and worst shows of 2012
Phelps is known for working with a preferred roster of actors, sometimes referred to as "Friends of Jill." Since she signed on to give Genoa City an overhaul (alongside headwriter Josh Griffith), fans have been watching to see which Friend she brings on board next. Thus far, Phelps has brought in three actors from her last gig, "Hollywood Heights." Robert Adamson (Noah) and Hunter Haley King (Summer) went from onscreen romance to playing Newman sibs, while Ignacio Serricchio (Alex), who worked with Phelps at "General Hospital" and "HH," is playing a tough cop with a connection to Noah and his ex-girlfriend, Adriana.
Phelps has also called in old-school soap-hopper Mark Pinter, who is set to go up against Victor and Jack when he shows up in Genoa City as Congressman Marcus Wheeler on Friday, Jan. 11. With eight soaps under his belt already, Pinter is best known from his stint as villainous politician Grant Harrison on "Another World," but he was most recently seen on "General Hospital." When MSN TV caught up with Pinter to get the story on his new gig (stay tuned for that interview!), he was quick to defend his former exec's penchant for working with the same actors.
"I think Jill gets a bad wrap because she uses people, but that's the way a business is anywhere," Pinter said. "You get jobs, generally, because of where you've been and if you're a director or producer, you want to work with people you've worked with before. I'm very appreciative of Jill. She's a woman who has great allegiance to people and I don't know anybody who has worked with Jill who doesn't have great allegiance to her, as well."
Burton is someone who has made his allegiance to Phelps clear. Many fans expected to see him show up in Genoa City, eventually -- just not this soon! There's also been much tittering about movie star-turned-"General Hospital" alumnus James Franco (ex-Franco), who played psychotic nemesis to Burton's Jason and also worked with Phelps on "Hollywood Heights." Could there be a reunion in the works?
At this point, it's all speculation. Burton is still tweeting from outside of Nashville and gigging with Port Chuck, a band he formed with co-stars Scott Reeves, Bradford Anderson and Brandon Barash during his run at "General Hospital."
Assuming Burton actually comes to "The Young and the Restless," the biggest question on everyone's mind is whether the former mob hit man will show up as a good guy, play another a toughie with a heart or go pure villain. It will also be interesting to see whether his legion of fans from Port Charles will follow him to Genoa City. Stay tuned.
"The Young and the Restless" airs weekdays on CBS.

Geek alert: 'Mythbusters' hosts lend their voices in this special episode
MSN TV has this exclusive image of "Mythbusters" hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as members of the Empire:
Creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh expressed their excitement about adding Savage and Hyneman to the cast: "We've been wanting to do something with them for ages, because they are the living adult versions of Phineas and Ferb in the real world. We ran into them at Comic-Con last year and knew that they worked on the original 'Star Wars', so when this opportunity came up we asked if they could come voice a few characters for us. It was really cool for us; we're hoping it was cool for them."
It's definitely cool for us!

On which of the new twists will have the most impact on Houseguest survival week after week:
Julie Chen: "I think "Battle of the Block" will have the most impact on a Houseguest's ability to survive. First, those competing in it will literally be fighting for their lives in the game. Second, it will get one of the HOHs (Head of Households) into BIG trouble. Let's just say that if I were HOH, I would nominate two weak players."

On the rooms and design of this season's tree house theme:
"My favorite room in the urban tree house this year is the honeycomb room. It's cozy and secluded. A perfect spot to 'buzz' with your alliance members about your team's strategy. The room has a door you can close for piracy from others. This is key to have in the house if you want to scheme!"

On her most memorable "Big Brother" interview:
"One of my memorable Big Brother interviews was last year with Aaryn. I had to check my feelings and ego at the door and set aside any personal bad feelings I had for her ugly comments. I had to do my job and be fair and straight despite how personally offended I was. It wasn't easy, but it was memorable."

text: As anglers begin craving newer, stealthier approaches to fishing, Ocean Kayak delivers its Prowler 13 and Prowler 13 Angler editions. Both measure a compact 13 feet (smaller than the previous Prowler 15 models), and while the Prowler 13 includes amenities such as a molded-in tackle-box storage space with bungee and a seat back, the 13 Angler offers flush-mount rod holders, a large tank livewell and its own small tackle box. Coupled with a stable platform (at 28 inches wide) and superb tracking, Ocean says this edition really lives up to its name. "One of the first things I noticed was the legroom amd amount of open space (especially behind the angler) for storing gear; it seems bigger than its 13 feet," says SF editor-in-chief Doug Olander, an avowed kayak angler. "I also really appreciate the factory rudder option, which helps control movement while drifting and when sight-casting or working specific structure." The 54-pound 'yaks can carry weights up to 450 pounds. Order the 13 in yellow, red, blue, lime, aqua, tangerine, sky, sunrise and titanium or the 13 Angler in olive or yellow. Retail cost is $769 to $832. Call 800-8-KAYAKS or visit www.oceankayak.com.

Phil Collin's daughter Joely to attend Southend Film Festival for screening of film
10:58am Thursday 17th April 2014 in News By Paul Nizinskyj
PHIL Collins' daughter is jetting in for Southend's film festival's sixth season.
Joely Collins, who was born in Canada and raised in the UK, has been a film and television actor in Canada for more than 20 years and will be attending for the screening of Becoming Redwood, an award-winning film she produced with her company StoryLab Productions, on May 3.
The film is a humorous and heartfelt story of a young boy who uses his vivid imagination to survive his parents' separation.
Described by the Vancouver Sun newspaper as "reminiscent of everything from Stand By Me to a pint-sized Rocky," the film won the Most Popular Canadian Film award at the Vancouver International Film Festival.
It was also named Best Canadian Feature at the Edmonton International Film Festival and was an official selection at the Beijing, Atlanta and Sonoma Film Festivals.
But, for Joely, the Southend festival's reputation was a big draw.
She said: "I've heard so much about the Southend Film Festival and am delighted that Becoming Redwood has been included in the programme in this vintage year.
"The film has been a labour of love and I'm quite excited to bring it across the pond."
Becoming Redwood also features music by Joely's father, as well as Cat Stevens and an exclusive new song by Tom Cochrane.

Cadillac CTS wins Consumer Reports luxury sedan comparo, still not recommended
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Jan 5th, 2010 at 7:29PM
The Cadillac CTS sedan outscored its competition from Audi, Acura, Mercedes-Benz and Lincoln in a Consumer Reports competition of luxury sedans over $50,000. The CTS was given an "Excellent" overall road test score of 84, four points better than the closest competitor. CR says that the CTS gives up next-to-nothing to its overseas competition, adding "the ride is supple and controlled and handling is agile and sporty." The Cadillac's 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic were also given kudos for punchy acceleration and smooth shifting. The Acura RL came in second with a "Very Good" road... Read More

The Jade was lovely and much like its sister ship Gem...nice layout and a nice spreading out of all the people onboard.
GREAT food and amazing quality at the buffets with a nice international flair.
The specialty restaurants we tried, Papa's and Le Bistro and Cagneys were all quite good with excellent service and a nice ambience, worth the extra cover charges we felt but having said that, the 'free' food is really good at both the two dining rooms and also the buffets.
We've cruised many times with NCL and the whole freestyle thing is why they get our business, so easy to eat when you want and not to have an assigned time or table. Plenty of opportunities abound to meet others if you wish so it works for both social and asocial folk.
ELEMENTS was an excellent show so don't miss it, the last night at sea.
We only did a few other shows and they were all very good so if you don't have the opportunity to see shows you should make the attempt.
Happy hour at the bar was a nice drink price reprieve and you meet other folk there too!
Regarding our balcony room, excellent size and our steward Clark kept it clean and anticipated our needs (glasses for wine/port) and kept us happy.
Completely happy with our cruise and hope NCL adds Egypt back to their itinerary because it was completely safe and they need our tourist money. We found them to be very pro-America and for Cairo, a city of 20 million, there will be some troublemakers but it isn't the way the country feels (every country has its nuts and haters) and we shouldn't be scared to travel there. The Pyramids and Sphinx alone are worth the trip, an amazing and only remaining ancient wonder of the world, not to be missed.

Ease of Setup: once or twice at home and good to go
Weight: 9 lbs 13 oz w/o footprint
First off this tent is roomy but the smaller vestibule is small. You might fit boots in there but that is about it. It fits 2 people with ease and three comfortably.
The window is a nice feature but zips up kind of sticky part way. The tent vented reasonably for 0 degrees and held up to 80 mile an hour gusts with all the tieouts. You will need different stakes for snow and more to use all the tieouts. It is very waterproof and little condensation with the top vent open.
It is a little heavy and hard to split among 2 people because of the top vent design (needed to separate pole from fly otherwise would have gave five stars. All in all a very good tent!

Design: Four-season dome
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Challenging the first, but extremely easy after
Weight: 8 lbs. 13 oz.
Price Paid: $349
My fiance and I bought this tent for two particular hiking trips (but there will be more in the future). The first to Big Bend and the second to Colorado. We just got back from Big Bend and it did fantastic! It takes a bit to set up the first time, but once you figure everything out it's easy. Thought it would be hot for the desert, but it breathed very nicely. We also got hit with wind and rain, no problem. We even set it up in a poor drainage area with water pooling under the tent and not a drop came in. (However, we did move it to a better drainage area once the rain stopped. Why take the chance when you don't have to?)
I personally would not use this for a car-camping tent, but that's because we usually car-camp with two dogs and a queen air-mattress. This tent would fit my need better as a backpacking tent, but it isn't the lightest tent out there so we have to split up the weight a little bit more between two people. Once set up, no worries, sleeps two easily with both backpacks in the tent. I LOVE THIS TENT!
REI also offers an incredible return/exchange program.

COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho - Kootenai County Sheriff's office is fighting to keep nearly a half a million dollars in what's believed to be drug money.
According to newly released federal court documents, $407,676.52 was seized in May of 2012 after a deputy made a traffic stop in Coeur d'Alene of David Anthony Yadon. The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department believes the money is tied to illegal methamphetamine sales connected toYadon.
Yadon was arrested in May after the traffic stop and booked in to the Kootenai County jail, charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. During the traffic stop, according to court documents deputies found Yadon in possession of more than $7,000. They also found nearly $400,000 in a garbage bag stuffed in a suitcase wrapped in heat sealed bags in the trunk of Yadon's vehicle. Deputies also found two glass pipes, which tested, positive for meth according to court documents.
The Kootenai County Sheriff's office is now working with the federal government to try and access to the funds through the legal process. The U.S. Marshall service currently has a hold on the funds as a neutral party until it's determined how much if any will be distributed to the KCSD. From August 2011 to September 2012 the Kootenai County sheriffs office has seized nearly $830,000.00 in believed drug money.

Commuting around Great American Ball Park will be a bit more tricky. Several road, lane, and sidewalk closures are set to take effect on Monday.
Soon a pedestrian bridge and a new parking lot will be the newest addition to a growing downtown Cincinnati, but the construction comes first.
At 9 a.m. Monday morning, Pete Rose Way between Broadway and Johnny Bench Way will be closed for all of next week. The following week just the center lanes and the north sidewalk will be closed until early August.
"It's trying to get people where they need to go, so if they're going to the Reds game or continuing over to the Banks," said Jared McFaddin, a senior engineer with the City of Cincinnati.
A heads up for pedestrians, starting Monday between Third and Pete Rose Way one lane of traffic and the sidewalk leading towards Great American Ball Park will be closed for four weeks.
One event likely to bring thousands of people downtown this month is the Macy's Music Festival. Executive Director Joe Santangelo is confident the construction won't get in the way.
"I think that there really shouldn't be a problem. Like I said, there's tons of parking and fortunately, I love the Cincinnati Reds, don't get me wrong, but they're out of town so that helps," said Santangelo.
McFaddin says all this construction will make commuting downtown more convenient.
"There is tub girder or basically a bridge that connects over the plaza level for US Bank and for Great American Ball Park and with that we'll be putting in, I believe, a 125-space parking lot," he explained.
Santangelo says he's thrilled to see such progress in places like the Banks because it's one reason they're expecting their biggest crowd ever, with more than 60,000 people.
"It's such a great place to come downtown Cincinnati. If you compare ten years ago or so versus now, forget it. It's night and day," said McFaddin.
The city says they strategically planned to do this project in July because the Reds are only in town one weekend in July while the closures are in effect.
The following areas will be affected:
This entire project is expected to be completed by October.

Late breaking news this morning as a gas leak was discovered near Rio Vista Elementary School, on Limberlost and Mountain.
According to Southwest Gas spokesperson Libby Howell the gas line was hit by a contractor conducting work at the school. No other customers are affected by the break, as the leak is on a service line to the school, according to Howell.
The size of the line was small enough that residents in the area did not have to be evacuated, according to Tucson Fire officials.
South West Gas crews are on the scene working to repair the leak.

There is no denying that Twitter has provided a once-impossible glimpse into the minds of sports figures. It has also infinitely increased the ability of those figures to make absolute fools of themselves.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is one such individual, one who has used the social media platform in a way that is simply embarrassing for the proud organization.
Irsay's latest oddball airing of company business on Twitter called out players and coaches for a lack of protection for quarterback Andrew Luck. While deficiencies in shielding The Franchise have been obvious (and amplified by Sunday's loss of lineman Donald Thomas), these are things that should stay in-house, not be broadcast in some goofy grandstanding act.
The Colts are a billion-dollar business. Imagine for a second, your business' owner outside of your workplace entry with a bullhorn quacking about the ineptitude of the employees within to any customers or passers-by. You'd think he or she was a disrespectful loon sabotaging the image of their own business for reasons beyond comprehension.
This is how Irsay is coming off, and I can't figure out his motivation. He is 54 years old, but his online persona resembles an irresponsible teenager starved for attention.
Irsay is not alone. Many hundreds of athletes at all levels have taken their clown shows to Twitter, some while drunk, mostly while stupid.
While Johnny Manziel's Twitter antics might've gotten the greatest attention, the most imbecilic tweet from the college ranks has to go to Ohio State backup quarterback Cardale Jones, who posted the eternally-epic, "Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS."
The pro level has its own moronic offenders, including current Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, whose online complaints about playing time last season led the eventual NFC-champion 49ers to suspend and release the helmet-throwing lummox.

4.8/5 rDev +2.1%
Beaten by JLindros. Been a loooong time for that. Seeing his review I am even more excited to try this beer.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice hazy golden orange juice hue. Really looks like a murky glass of orange juice atop which sat a nice creamy two finger head. It looks outstanding, however, the head fades rather quickly into a thin soapy blanket with ALOT less side lacing that I was expecting from the get go. Still great, but disappointing based off of that initial creamy head impression.
S - Now, I am not going to be as whimsical as JLindros in my review of the nose. I will say he is spot on with that aroma. It bursts out tropical fruits, just oozing out with mango and grapefruit. Some inviting tangerine along with juicy hops. All of this drowns out the malts quite pleasantly.
T - Yeaaah. This is pretty fucking good. Tons of hop oils here, but that takes a back burner to the flavour explosion going on in my mouth. Enormous mango here. Like those delicious Chinese mango gummy candies. Some light resin and faint pith, tangerine and grapefruit rind. There is some light bitterness (grapefruit) but the finish, the finish is a long lingering mango. Supernatural here.
M - I dont fathom how JLindros did not give this a 5. Sometimes his logic is most illogical. Medium bodied, light but faintly crisp carbonation. 8.3%? Yah, you fooled me. I've had cartons of orange juice (from concentrate) that tasted like they had more alcohol in it than this mouthfeel does. Absurd. EDIT: As this beer warms, some of the booze comes out just a tad. Wish I could go 4.75 but unfortunately cannot.
O - Overall this was an incredible beer. Really wish I did not have to work the days when they're brewery is open so I could go there in person and shake Nate's hand for this and Julius. Enjoy this breweries offerings while you can. Soon enough they WILL explode on the scene.

Pours into my Hill farmstead stem tulip with a nice creamy but lighter head that hits about 1/2 finger, with some decent sticky lacing... as you mentioned Nate, the lacing on the glass right off the tap was much nicer, but that doesn't stop the awesomness of the beer itself from shining through. Speaking of shining, the beer is not shiny at all, a murky hazy tangerine slightly coppery colored beer.
Nose is amazing! The transcending aroma wafted out as soon as I popped the swing top, and when I poured it I almost dropped the bottle as I was too busy dreaming of the tropical fruits dancing into my brain. This sucker is beaming with tropical fruit and citrus, loaded with passion fruit, mango, a big waft of exploding grapefruit juice packets, tangerine, light orange rind, resins and lots of fresh hop goodness. Under that a light malty aroma tries it's best to balance the hops, to little avail. As I'm burying my nose in it for minutes at a time (literally), and breathing deep, a light booze touch wafts out like an alcohol infused grapefruit.
Taste comes in... I can feel the weight of the beer and oily hop layer before my taste buds come back down to earth from the tropical fruit explosion. Holy shi*t mango! Memories come flying back of chewing on the pit from a mango trying to get that last bit of great mangoness off of it. There is also again some passion fruit, light resins, tangerine, a bit of citrus, and more fresh grapefruit explosions. I can barely put it down long enough to type a sentence. A nice malty base in there, very little malt flavor, but a nice balancing mild sweetness and fluffy feel, it has some weight to it, but no detectable booze. bitterness comes out nicely but not over explosive, or even really strong, its more of an after thought, like the light grapefruit rind bitterness when you're chewing on a fresh grapefruit. Finish is even more grapefruit as the mango fades a bit, a bit of papaya comes out as well, more tangerine and clementine, fairly dry, light lingering bitterness.
Mouth is med to fuller bodied but fluffy and soft, little oily, and quite nice fluffy carbonation.
Overall gmmrrguguumm.... that's the sound my brain is making trying to put words into how awesome this beer is. Easily top 5 DIPAs I've EVER HAD! So much fresh tropical fruit, literally like mango and grapefruit juice, booze is nowwhere to be seen except the nice weight of the body, light hop oil feel, juicy, delicious, drinkable, well balanced, just so friggen good!

How Green is biomass?
A multi-million pound renewable energy plant could be built in North Blyth. Is it green enough for the people of North Blyth?Read the full story
A multi-million pound renewable energy plant could be built in North Blyth. Is it green enough for the people of North Blyth?Read the full story
Paul Crossland, who is campaigning against the plant claims it's too close to the residential area.
– Paul Crossland, campaigner against Biomass Plant
"It's too close to the residential area. It's too close to the school. It's on a site with loads of toxins on it. And it's all been sold with that magic word in the North East: 'jobs'. The jobs are illusory. As for the local jobs, these plants require a handful of local people."
Plans for a new renewable energy plant in the North East could get the go ahead.
Renewable energy company RES submitted plans to build a Biomass Plant in Northumberland.
If given the go ahead it could convert between up to 900,000 tonnes of biological matter into fuel and electricity each year.
RES say the plant would bring significant benefits to the area; creating jobs in the green sector and opportunities for local contractors as well as generating electricity for the equivalent of 150,000 homes annually.
The company say carbon dioxide emissions would also be reduced, but campaigners against the site claim the plant may worsen the problem of climate change.
The Infrastructure Planning Commission is due to deliver their decision on whether it will be approved next month.

Animals can very easily suffer from heat exhaustion in high temperatures. On Monday, two area dogs died from heat exhaustion after spending extended periods in the sun.
Director of the Peoria County Animal Protection Service, Lauren Malmberg says it's extremely important to make sure your dog has access to a shady area and water when leased outside. She also urges everyone to take action when they witness animal neglect.
"A concerned citizen can make a huge difference. If they see an animal outside that doesn't receive the right kind of care or looks like it's in distress, please call us and we'll get someone out there immediately. A few minutes can make a huge difference, particularly with heat exhaustion," Malmberg.
To report signs of animal neglect, call the shelter directly at 672-2440. If it's after the shelter's hours, call the Emergency Communications Center or the local police.

Advocates for farmworkers in New York are rallying today at the state Capitol.
They're supporting legislation that would extend labor rights and protections for farmworkers in the state. It would grant collective bargaining rights, along with new rights to earn overtime pay.
But some farmers say it would increase costs for them in an already financially unstable business.
