The Return of the CEGB - Britain's central buyer model
26th June 2014
Though no part of any grand plan, and certainly not by intention, the British energy market has morphed from a liberalized quasi-competitive market into one that is driven by the state. It has happened largely by accident rather than design, but it also has a remorseless political economy logic behind it. It is the unintended consequence of a long series of well-intended interventions. The result is closer to the old nationalized industry command-and-control structures, which had the Central...
Ukraine, Europe and Energy
1st June 2014
After a short pause, the borders of east and southeast Europe are again in flux, as they have been on and off since the early Russian people established Kiev as their capital. Crimea was annexed by Catherine the Great. The British and others fought the Crimean War in the nineteenth century and Russia's imperial expansion towards the Balkans helped to trigger the First World War. Stalin created the greatest Russian empire – the Soviet Union – which Gorbachev lost. Putin regards...

The current situation and mid-term prospects for European electricity markets
28th January 2014
It is fashionable to state that there are three objectives of European energy policy: security of supply, low carbon and affordability. Yet this "trilemma"—how to achieve all of these three simultaneously—is far from straightforward. None of the three objectives is well defined. What does security mean? Some suggest this means self-sufficiency, yet a moment's reflection tells us that if in the last century Europe had pursued this, then not much economic development...

All change: the Unfolding Geopolitics of Oil and Gas in the US and the Middle East
12th December 2013
The geopolitics of oil has remained remarkably static for the last 40 years since the Iranian Revolution at the end of the 1970s. The stylized facts have been that the US would have to import ever more oil to meet its ever growing demand, and that the Middle East would increase its dominance. To meet this demand, the US remained committed to keeping the Gulf open, and to support Saudi Arabia as its key ally against the pariah state of Iran. The established order relied on three related...
How long can interest rates remain low?
22nd November 2013
We live in extraordinary times. Real interests are negative, have been negative for several years and the forward guidance from central bankers suggests that they believe they are going to stay that way for several years to come. Yet this is a very unnatural state of affairs: the long run interest rate should roughly approximate the growth rate. Assuming that this is about two per cent then that too is roughly what the long run interest rate should be.
British Infrastructure and the Gradual Return of the State
14th November 2013
The state of British infrastructure is the source of almost continuous study and criticism. There is now a host of new demands in water, energy, transport and communications which require a step change in investment. The Coalition government has made a series of reforms—to planning, finance, and the setting of priorities—which have been drawn together in National Infrastructure Plan statements. A number of high-profile and large-scale projects have been advanced...
Labour's Energy Policies
22nd October 2013
The leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband, announced in his autumn party conference speech a series of proposals for electricity prices and electricity market reform. These include: A price freeze for 20 months from the date of the General Election in May 2015. A Pool for the wholesale electricity market. The break up of the Big Six energy companies. The abolition of OFGEM and its replacement by a new regulatory body. An Energy Security Board. The decarbonisation of the electricity system...

WICOMICO CO., Md. - Government officials kicked off Red Cross Month.Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt said the county "would be devastated without an organization like the Red Cross."A flag has been raised for the organization outside of the Government Building in Salisbury as a way to recognize community efforts.
Locally, the Red Cross is having a bit of trouble due to a spike in fires this winter. Lower Shore Red Cross executive director John Culp says that this season there has been twice as many calls for help were received this season and they assisted twice as many people than in an average year.
On top of that, he says they're already over budget this year.
"Every one of those responses when you put people up for a short period of time, take care of their lodging and food, that's expensive," said Culp.

He knows how to ride anything with wheels, from Motorcycles and Dirtbikes to Skateboards and Skates. When he was at the age of 8 his parents were killed in a boat accident, Josh was adopted by his father's best friend/business partner Jefferson Smith. Jeff Smith is the owner of a extreme sports equipment company, however it is actually a secret agent group called N-Tek. N-Tek stops the bad guys before anyone knows, they take out whoever they need to. Birth Of Max SteelWhile Josh was visiting his adopted fathers company, they were attacked by the evil secret agent named Psycho. Josh faced Psycho in battle, but was badly hurt by the villain. He was then exposed to tiny nanomachines called "Nano Tech Max." These nanites got into Josh's body, however began to die because it did not have enough energy. So Josh began to die also. As a last resort Jeff Smith gave Josh a high dose of T-juice. This not only saves Josh's life, but it also gives him super powers. As a result, Josh takes on the identity of Max Steel. A super-hero agent that fights not only man, but monsters.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - Authorities believe a shove in a deli led to a shooting that left a man dead in Jersey City.
The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office says Darren Talington, 25, intervened after a male customer pushed a female customer inside the A1Deli on Grove Street early Saturday.
The prosecutor's office says an argument erupted between Talington and the male customer leading to a fight outside. Authorities say another male approached Talington and began to fire a gun.
Talington was shot multiple times in his torso and lower extremities. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
No arrests have been made.

An Israeli understudy for the role of Carmen, in the opera being performed at the foot of Masada, was thrust on stage opening night after the star last her voice in the dry desert air.
Na'ama Goldman, 27, who served as the cover, or understudy, who stands in for the lead international soloists in rehearsals until they arrive from overseas for the dress rehearsals and performances, took over for international opera soloist Nancy Fabiola Herrera for the second act of opening night on June 8. The second Carmen, Italian Anna Malavesi, who was scheduled to perform in rotation with Herrera, had been injured during an earlier rehearsal and was not ready to go on stage.
Two days earlier, Goldman had been called on at the last minute to take over for Malavesi during the dress rehearsal, the first time she had ever performed on the stage itself.
This is the third year that the Israel Opera has staged a performance at Masada.

Towns and cities

Narbonne (25 km) : Stroll around the old town, the quartier de la Cité and Narbonne's pretty pedestrian street. Don't miss the old Archbishops' palace with its medieval halls, the Gilles-Aycellin donjon and Narbonne's archeological and art museums.

Châteaux and abbeys
Castles :
Lastours : The four castles are on a rocky spur above the village of Lastours, isolated by the deep valleys of the Orbeil and Grésilhou rivers. They were built at an altitude of 300 m along a rock wall just 1300 feet (~400 m) long by 165 feet (~50 m) wide. Cabaret, Surdespine and la Tour Régine stand in line, while Quertinheux is built on a separate pinnacle close by.
Villerouge Termenes : Totally restored, this castle is a remarkable example of military architecture, essentially from the 13th century. A tower occupies each comer of this rectangular fortified building. Twentyfive metres over the stream called Le Lou, the massive south-east tower was probably the keep. At the top of the curtain walls there is a guards' walk, part of which is covered. Access to the monument is from the northern side over a ramp preceded by a fortified gate decorated with the coat-ofarms of the archbishop Bernard de Farges. The castle, which has three construction periods, dates mainly from the 13th century.
Arques : The castle rises on an isolated hillock, a few hundred metres from the western side of the village. The castle was mentioned for the first time in 1011, but the original lords of Arques were dispossessed in the 12th century in favour of the powerful family of Termes. During the Crusade against the Albigensians, Béranger d'Arques, descendant of the despoiled family, was one of the comrades of Guillaume de Peyrepertuse.
Cucugnan Queribus The castle of Quéribus is situated on the commune of Cucugnan which is renowned in French literature for being the site of the 'Priest's Sermon' by Alphonse Daudet. Perched on a narrow rocky outcrop, the castle stands proudly at 728 metres altitude. Mentioned in 1020, the castle of Quéribus was part of the County of Besalù, then of Barcelona and was finally held as a royal fortress by the house of Aragon in 1162.
Duilhac Peyrepertuse : The castle lies on a 730 meter high rock and when the weather is clear you can see the Mediterranean Sea from it. People have been living on the site of castle Peyrepertuse since roman times. The castle is first mentioned in 1050. During its existence it has had its share of warfare. It was involved in the Crusades and the Inquisition because of its occupancy by cathars. Also its position on the border of medieval France and the kingdom of Aragon (present day Spain) contributed to a lot of bloodshed. It's a large castle spread out over a rocky ridge at the feet of the Pyrenees.
Abbeys :
Abbaye de Fontfroide : a superb Cistercian abbey. In 1093, a Benedictine monastery is founded in Fontfroide. When Saint Bernard comes to the Languedoc in 1145, it joins the order of the Cistercians. The same year the construction of the church begins. With its pointed barrel vault rising to a height of 20 m, it represents in impressive manner the simplicity of Cistercian architecture.

MIAMI, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Getaroom.com, a leading online discount hotel stay company, released today a list of 13 expert travel tips for vacationers who waited until after the busy holiday season to plan their winter travel.
- New York is an absolute steal in January. Enjoy the Hotel Pennsylvania for as low as $79 a night.
- Finding the warm weather does not need to break the bank. The deluxe Avalon hotel in South Beach has studio suites from $119 a night.
- Plan your flight routing wisely, and try to avoid connecting cities such as Denver, Chicago, Detroit and Minneapolis which are frequently affected by winter snow and ice.
- Don't pay extra hotel fees for your children. Many hotels allow kids to stay for free (even up to age 19)
- The weather in San Francisco stays fairly constant, so book during the winter to enjoy off-season prices. The Cova hotel features free breakfast and a shuttle, all for less than $70.
- Flight canceled? Put that smartphone to use by quickly calling the airline instead of waiting in line in order to secure your place on the next available flight.
- Airport lounges offer a pleasant respite from hectic air travel. You can often gain club access through many credit cards, so be sure to check your card for this fantastic perk.
- Avoid paying bag fees which can approach the cost of your actual ticket. Southwest does not charge bag fees, even for oversized items.
- If winter travel means you hit the slopes, then consider Beaver Creek and the two-bedroom condos at the Avon Lodge from $179 a night.
- Visit the Big Easy on a budget. New Orleans events including Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest are coming up. Grab a room at the Bourbon Orleans in the French Quarter for only $129 a night.
- Las Vegas is very slow during January (except during big conventions) and ideal travelers that don't expect to lounge at the pool. Book four-star hotels for $70 or less.
- Alternate airports can help you avoid the crowds and perhaps save money on your ticket. Some to consider: Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach instead of Miami; Midway in Chicago instead of O'Hare; Long Beach instead of LAX and Oakland instead of San Francisco.
- Be prepared for canceled flights by always carrying-on a change of clothes, keep your cell phone charger with you, and sign up for text alerts from the airlines.
Traveling in the winter months after the holidays can be a great way to start a new year without blowing the entire 2013 travel budget. "Savvy travelers can find some substantial discounts on their hotel stays during the months of January and February and can also avoid the overwhelming holiday's crowds," said Bob Diener, President and Co-Founder of Getaroom.com. "Whether the destination involves snowboarding or lounging on a beach, Getaroom offers thousands of hotels at the lowest available price. Our unpublished rates give our customers discounts of typically 10-20% and up to 50 percent off other sites, so travelers have more money available for a nice night out on the town."

Dance school in jeopardy if community centre closes (From Borehamwood Times)
Get involved: send your pictures, video & news by texting BOREHAMWOOD to 80360, or upload here
K's School of Dance joins the fight to keep Maxwell Park Community Centre open
Updated 5:11pm Tuesday 18th March 2014 in News By Ruth Halkon, Reporter
A dance school that won a huge haul of trophies at a national competition is worried about its future.
K's School of Dance, which is based in Maxwell Park Community Centre in Borehamwood, returned from a competition in Romney in Kent last weekend with 159 trophies between 27 dancers.
Run by JJ Promotions, the competition involved children from across the country who competed in rock 'n' roll, freestyle, street dance and contemporary, both singly and in groups.
Karen Carloni, who has run the dance school from the community centre in Maxwell Road for the past 14 years, said she was "delighted" with the children's success.
She said: "They did fantastically well, gaining trophies in a wide range of disciplines. We have some very talented young dancers and they did us proud."
The dance teacher said the school was heavily involved in the life of the town, raising money for charities such as Clic Sargent and taking an active part in the Borehamwood Carnival and Family Day.
However, with Maxwell Park Community Centre earmarked by Hertfordshire County Council as a possible site for a school, she fears for her organisation's future, and for the 70 children who dance with her every week.
Ms Carloni said: "If they bulldoze Maxwell Park Community Centre we'll have nowhere else to go.
"Because the hall is so affordable I've managed to keep prices low, meaning we can take people of all backgrounds – which will change if we're forced to move somewhere else.
"We've been keeping kids off the street for 14 years by giving them something to aim for.
"There are many other groups like us that use Maxwell Park, and I fear for them as well if it is knocked down.
"We should fight to make sure the council finds another site to build the school."

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
excruciating pain to her arms and wrists, which she said were pulled too forcefully and too far up, and to her wrists which she said were handcuffed too tightly causing her circulation to be cut off. The 15 year old girl also stated that during the violent and painful arrest, her head was repeatedly pounded into the hood of the parked car outside her sister's house, then they wrestled her to the ground with additional officers who arrived on the scene, (4 participating in the arrest and 13 officers in total), hog tied her and put her in the back seat of a squad car.
At the center of the issue is a complaint about intimidation stemming from Perry's threat to veto of $7.5 million in state funding to the Public Integrity Unit run by Lehmberg's office. The threat came after she pleaded guilty to drunk driving and served a 45-day sentence; Perry called on her to step down but she refused to resign her position. Perry then vetoed the funding for the PIU.According to the New York Times, when Perry vetoed the unit in 2013, the PIU was investigating accusations of mismanagement and corruption related to one of Perry's landmark initiatives, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas

Linfield College has so many study abroad opportunities. What is wonderful about study abroad here at Linfield, is the college will pay for your first round-trip, airfare ticket to where ever you decide to study abroad! This is why over 50% of Linfield students study abroad within their four years here at Linfield.
If students major in a foreign language, they are required to study abroad for a year. If students minor in a foreign language, they are required to study abroad for a semester. However, there are so many opportunities to study abroad outside of the language departments.
Here at Linfield we run on a 4-1-4 schedule. We have a four month fall semester, a four month spring semester, and a one month (optional) January term. Students can do one of three things during that January term. They can either: Stay on campus and take 3-5 credits (~ one class), stay home and have an extra long winter break, or study abroad.
There are many different study abroad opportunities that come available every Jan term. This year, I applied to study abroad for Jan term 2015. I applied to study abroad with the Mass Communication Dept. to the UK and Belgium. And I GOT IT
Where ever you decide to go to school, definitely look into studying abroad. It is an INCREDIBLE opportunity that schools offer to their students.
I hope to see you soon!

Jacoby and Karina were live Monday on ABC2's Good Morning Maryland
Before Jacoby Jones and his partner, Karina Smirnoff, hit the stage next week, they brightened up Good Morning Maryland's newsroom.
SLIDESHOW of Jacoby Jones' visit to ABC2
Even early in the morning Jones and Smirnoff were full of energy and humor
The two talked about everything from discipline to how the competition will put him in the shape of his life.
Jones even danced a little tribute to Ray Lewis. Maybe we'll see it again in DWTS.
There's no doubt that this Super Bowl winning Ravens team member has the athletic ability for DWTS. And Smirnoff has the moves, but will they win this competition?

LA Times: once heard, a Mansurian piece is not forgotten
January 11, 2014 - 12:21 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Tigran Mansurian, Armenia's celebrated composer, will turn 75 this month and the Dilijan Chamber Music series will celebrate Sunday, Jan 12 afternoon at the Zipper Concert Hall of the Colburn School with a survey of the Mansurian's chamber music over the past half century, Los Angeles Times says in an article honoring the composer.
"It will be, no doubt, a joyous occasion, what with the composer present and Dilijan, which is devoted to Armenian music, being among Mansurian's most important of champions in America. That is joyous, not joyful, and of the deep-down variety. Joy can certainly be found in Mansurian's intensely spiritual music, but the surface is not where to look. There, in a haunting eloquence, is where the suffering, never overstated or exaggerated but always throbbing like a chronic pain, lies. It is a beautiful pain, the exquisite anguish of a grave wound not healed but rather transcended," LA Times says.
"That transcendence is the nature of Mansurian's most mature music. And through stunning recordings on ECM it has made him a cult figure like such other spiritually inclined Eastern European composers as the Estonian Arvo Pärt. Also in common with composers who came out of the former Soviet bloc, Mansurian's hard-won spirituality is all the more illuminating for having grown out of an aggressive musical rebellion against Soviet musical populism," it says.
"Through it all, Mansurian's inspiration has been the plight of the Armenian people in the 20th century and their sustaining culture. He is a formal composer who never wastes a note. His sound world is mystical. He knows wherein lies an instrument's most hauntingly beautiful sounds, particularly when it comes to strings, the voice and percussion. Once heard, a Mansurian piece is not forgotten."

Currently training for the LA Marathon on 3/9/14.
Can I first start out by saying how flattered I am that people have actually taken the time to ask me where I have been? I honestly didn't know I had followers who read my page like that! That's definitely a self esteem booster, and I strongly appreciate it.
So here's an update on where I've been the last couple months. I don't think I've been active since…May? June maybe? But I'm definitely going to try and get into the swing of things. I'm much more accountable when I'm posting.
I'm going to start with the elephant in the room…literally. I have gone from a happy weight of 148 to a slightly larger weight of 180. Sigh. Ever since I got back from Seattle nearly a year ago, it's been hard to keep my weight and eating in check. But these last 2 weeks I've been doing mostly good (minus the frozen yogurt I'm addicted to and must wean myself off of!) and running, as I have a half marathon in 2 months. I'll get back to a happier weight though, and hopefully get it all off!
I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 which came preloaded with a calorie counter and pedometer. I've been trying hard to get my 10,000 steps a day!
I got a new job last month. My commute has gone from 3 hours a day to a half hour a day. My salary has gone up as well, but due to my sister's bridal shower and paying off debt, I haven't seen too much of that. It's a step in the direction of what I see myself doing long term. It's still working with people with disabilities though, and it's a pleasure to walk into work every day and know I'm making a difference.
Things are going great with my wife. I love her more than anything and I feel like we grow so much more in love every day. I'm excited to (eventually!) start our family, when we're more financially and physically stable. I got an awesome new ring that I hate to take off!
I have an annual pass to Disneyland, so we go there quite a bit! Pros: Lots of walking. Cons: Lots of delicious, unhealthy foods. I gotta get used to taking my own snacks.
My sister's wedding is in 2 months and I'm the maid of honor. Stress City, Population me and her.
I'm going to work hard on buckling down on money and saving up. We want to buy our own house someday, so I really need to figure out how to budget better and pay off all our debt.
I think that's it for now. I'm working late tonight, but hopefully I'll be able to get in my 3 mile training run tonight!
This is HUGE for me, as I love to stay in bed and press snooze.
Let's hope I can do more days like this!
2.0 miles, 22 minutes. Baby steps.

In Feudal Luxury

The efflorescent shower, marigold garland and crimson tilak—de rigueur of a star-studded Indian hospitality welcome—is a welcome cliche at Fort Auwa, after the jeep has picked you up from Marwar Junction. A Buick is parked at the far end of the bailey, where Thakur Kushal Singh used to formulate strategies to attack hostile Mughals and the Marathas, the French and the British. Today, it is a neatly manicured garden and the alfresco dining area of the heritage hotel. Where marching sentries once kept vigil are now vantage points to watch glorious sunsets and the desert villages below.
Most of the original fort was razed by the vengeful British after Kushal Singh's troops swelled the ranks of the 1857 Mutiny, leaving some bullet-pocked walls still standing; Mason, a British Army captain, was shot dead and his head displayed publicly in the village square at the entrance to the fort. Devi Singh, Kushal Singh's son, rebuilt 'Devi Bhawan' in 1869, a modest twin-storeyed residence with a plain wooden roof. Successive thakurs over the centuries added new buildings and wings according to their personal tastes and prevailing architectural styles. Fort Auwa is a synthesis of Indo-Saracenic architectural styles; Rajput with Mughal influences. Freestone was quarried from Kadu, a village three kilometres away, for most of the construction. Though orillons, oilettes and other typical defence features found in forts are missing at Auwa, the thakurs splurged on art. Hundreds of artisans worked on the elaborate niches carved into scappled ashlars where deities were venerated. Moline cornices with floral designs and intricately carved elephants in full battle-livery adorn the flanking walls leading to the barbican that opens towards to the garden. The only Kadamba tree in Auwa and beyond is here—locals say Lord Krishna slept under it when he halted for a night on his way to Nathdwara.
While the zenana has been converted into the thakurs' private residence, the mardana is the hotel building. The property has 18 rooms, each one opening to a common veranda facing the garden below. A recent wing extends from a crumbling bastion with independent private balconies. The Historic Square, with the column erected in the memory of those who died in 1857, which stands right by the fort entrance, is also the geographical centre from which the village radiates in all directions. Captain Mason's cenotaph is a few kilometres away, by the banks of an artificial lake. Of probably less dramatic significance, but definitely more historic and architectural merit are the ruins of an ancient temple closeby. Built over a raised plinth with elaborate relief work, exquisitely carved pillars and ornate arches, the villagers of Auwa are seriously mulling over how to restore its former glory. Further ahead is the Mahadev Temple with an adjoining open ground where the charans, a Rajasthani tribal community known for its artistic and literary talent, hold annual meets.The region is a contradiction of concepts—a green Rajasthan. The best way to see this face of the 'desert state' teeming with palms and wadis, rock pools and stone houses is on the train safari—the metre gauge train from Khamblighat Station 30 kilometres from Auwa before turning around from Phulad junction 22 kilometres away. It chugs along the Aravali ranges, passing through tunnels and over the picturesque Kamla Nala and Phulad Dam; a slight detour on the way back to Auwa will take you to Phulad Dam. Plans are afoot to bring more action to the emerald-green waters with boating and angling. The indolent traveller may be content with feeling the cooled breeze while relaxing on the catchment as elderly Rawats saunter by.
The bucolic experience and the train safari occupies two days of your time. Linger on for a third day—or at least part of it—chances are you would get admittance into the inner circle of the Thakurs. The hathai—local-speak for informal village gatherings—is held in the courtyard of Fort Auwa's residential wing. It has no fixed frequency, though the agenda invariably is the same—land encroachment, estranged couples and elopement scandals. An indispensible aspect of these hathais is Auwa's indigenous opium ceremony.
Auwa brings you a slice of Rajasthan you no longer get in Jodhpur or Jaipur—a land where valiant tales of swashbuckling heroes abound in every corner, where progress plods through in no haste and people accord your every request with a deferential 'hukum'.

Alien brothers from the planet Baab embark on an expedition to Earth, where one sibling (the brave one) gets captured and the other, more cautious one has to save him -- and maybe even the universe. Sound like something your kids would be interested in? Read our review from Common Sense Media to see if Escape from Planet Earth is right for them to see.
Rating: Ages 7+
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Escape from Planet Earth is an animated alien adventure that features more violence, consumerism, and even references to romance than other similar films aimed at kids. There are some deaths in the movie: A father is killed when a spaceship lands on him, a man plummets to his doom from the air, and a freed alien is eaten by a much larger, scary-looking alien. A general is sadistic and likes to torture/exploit aliens. Unlike many other animated movies, this one doesn't shy away from sexuality, either: Alien couples kiss several times, a female admires her boyfriend's body, several characters comment on a "nerdy" character's beautiful wife, and online dating is even referenced. Lastly, families sensitive to consumerism should know that there are parts of the movie that seem practically like a commercial for 7-Eleven.
What's the story?
Two alien brothers -- nerdy mission control specialist Gary (voiced by Rob Corddry) and his brave, brash astronaut brother Scorch (Brendan Fraser) -- lead all of the space expeditions on the distant, technologically advanced planet of Baab. Scorch is the creature of action, while Gary is a creature of thought; even Gary's own son prefers his courageous uncle to his cautious dad. After one too many brotherly fights, Gary quits just as Scorch decides to embark on a mysteriously assigned mission to the "Dark Planet" -- Earth. Upon arrival on Earth, Area 51 military commander General Shanker (William Shatner) takes Scorch into custody. Gary summons his courage to rescue Scorch and discovers that there's a secret plot that could destroy not only Baab, but every planet.
Is it any good?
Movies like this are infuriating, because they prove that some studios believe families will respond favorably to any release aimed at kids. Are families that desperate for an afternoon matinee that they should put up with poorly executed movies with ridiculous stereotypes and over-the-top product placements, just because they're animated? Is it necessary to put down scientists as "nerds" and mothers as "little Miss Housewife" to get laughs? Why in the world does a movie need to partner with 7-Eleven for a running (and unfunny after the first time) gag?
Yes, there are a few sweet messages about family and brotherhood and how one person can make a difference, but those themes are overshadowed by the movie's violence -- Shatner's vengeful general is quite the sadistic torturer at times -- the off-putting romantic references (there are several kisses and allusions to online dating and even a va-va-voom alien voiced by Sofia Vergara). Skip this forgettable flop and rent/buy/stream/re-watch E.T., Monsters vs. Aliens, Close Encounters, or almost any other alien-themed film instead.
Explore, discuss, enjoy
--Families can talk about the popularity of alien movies. Why is it so compelling to depict extra-terrestrials and their relationship to humans? How are the humans in Escape from Planet Earth represented? What about the aliens?
--Except for their features, the Baab-based aliens are pretty much just like humans in the way they live and even the names of their organizations and consumer products. Is it necessary for friendly aliens to resemble humans this way?
--Do you think the content in this movie matches with the intended target audience? Why or why not?
--What purpose do all of the references to brands -- particularly to 7-Eleven -- serve? Do they add anything to the story?

For 18 1/2 years, I was privileged to work with an amazing group of women — the labor and delivery nurses at Barton Memorial Hospital. Smart, compassionate, and dedicated, they made my job as an obstetrician easier. They knew their stuff and I could sleep (albeit briefly) at night easier knowing they would recognize a problem and call me immediately. In addition to being good nurses, they were fun to work with; several had quite the wicked sense of humor. Respectful of the doctors, they still knew how to put me in my place if I got a bit too big for my britches, especially the O.B.s, at the end of the week — you know who you are!I love and respect you all and know the patients are in good hands with you. I will miss working with you.Kelly Shanahan, M.D.South Lake Tahoe

Restraining order was denied days before Nashua kidnapping
That petition was denied the same day and the case was dismissed by Judge Lucinda Sadler, who stated in her ruling that the request "does not rise to level required by statute as to imminent threat," according to court documents.
Solano said that earlier this month, Osherov called her about 120 times in a three-day period and sent more than 70 texts, according to the court petition. Osherov is the father of Solano's 15-month-old son. She was granted emergency custody of the baby last October after Osherov allegedly took the child without Solano's permission.
On Friday, Osherov was allegedly stalking Solano when he parked his vehicle outside of her residence and later showed up at the baby's day care center in Derry, Solano said.
Fearing that Osherov might hurt her, Solano had a day care worker approach Osherov in the parking lot and ask him to leave, she said.
Solano said she contacted the Derry Police Department about the situation, telling them she feared that Solano might shoot her. The police, according to Solano, referred her to the Derry courthouse, where Solano attempted to seek a restraining order later that afternoon.
"I knew kids would be getting out of class and I didn't want him to hurt anyone else," she said. After forcing Solano into a car, Osherov allegedly duct taped her hands together and made her overdraw her bank account by $200 at a Bedford cash machine.
"He told me not to do anything suspicious or he would kill everyone," said Solano.
They eventually ended up at Motel 6 on Progress Avenue in Nashua, where the couple checked into a room.
"I tried to eye down the guy at the desk, but he just didn't see it, obviously," she said. "I knew that it wasn't going to be good at that point. He tied my hands and legs together with phone cords and duct tape, and he told me that he wanted me to watch him die. He wanted me to suffer by seeing him kill himself."
Police allege that Osherov sexually assaulted Solano during a lengthy standoff that lasted from about 10 p.m. on Monday to 7 a.m. on Tuesday, when he surrendered.
Restraining orders
Capt. Vernon Thomas of the Derry Police Department said Wednesday that he could not immediately locate any communication records his department may have had with Solano last week.
Speaking in general terms, he said that if an individual contacts Derry police and claims they feel uncomfortable or threatened by another person, they are immediately referred to the court system if a crime has not occurred. Thomas said officers will highly recommend that a restraining order is sought at the courthouse.
Still, Thomas stressed that there has to be a substantial threat mentioned — in most cases — for a restraining order to be granted.
"I just want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else," she said. "But I am not going to let him ruin my future."

Comments about Womens Inov-8 FastLift 335 Cross Training Shoe:
I do Crossfit and these are the first lifting shoes that I have bought. They really help me feel more stable when doing squats, cleans and especially overhead lifts. I had to buy a half size larger, since the angle pushes your feet forward a bit. I put the moldable insole in and they feel awesome. I have received lots of comments on these shoes given that they are a good brand and they look awesome. Who doesn't like pink and purple?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Womens Brooks PureCadence 2 Running Shoe:
I've been an Asics Gel Kayano girl forever until I found these shoes and thought there was nothing better, until I found the Pure Cadence. The fit felt like a glove and I was doubtful the cushion would be enough on my bad knees. Boy was I surprised. Not only did the shoes provide ample cushion, but the design of the shoe improved my stride, lessening the pressure on my knees and foot. Mine our worn out now and I just bought another pair. I tried the Kayano on again and was shocked to find how stiff they felt (I always thought they felt like running on "supported" marshmallows (good)). I had/have a broken, now healed, sesamoid bone (ball of foot) and was surprised that the only shoe that lessened the pressure on the ball of my foot was the Pure Cadence.

It is so wonderful that there are all types of helpful math apps out there for students of all ages. Many people have a distaste for math so maybe kids from this tech savvy generation will enjoy this new, fun way to learn. I also know that students can download a graphing calculator for free on their Smartphones as well, something I would've loved to be able to do when I had to buy a $100 calculator when I was in school.
I think you forgot a great one there:
I stumbled upon it looking for a way to help my three kids as a single father who can't afford a private tutor:
It's called MATH 42 (https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/math-42/id664457128?mt=8) , and helps them (and me ;)) to understand and solve a math problem step-by-step, by giving suggestions on how to solve it and defining unknown notions.
It also enables me to check up on them and their progress thanks to the integrated test mode.
Hope i helped,
As a maths graduate I do love math apps (wolfram is a life saver!). Found a neat new idea for a game last week and it's kept me busy all week. Check out Ruboku.
useful tips
Will the mathlab graphing calculator run on my samsung tablet s3?

Hodor ! by Angel Gonzalez
This book has it all and when you least expect it turns the world upside down by Jim Hunder review
I don't know whether I get my paperback on time, I have already read for about 30 per cents of the book using my phone.
If you are hesitating whether it is worth it or not - IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!
My English level is Intermediate, but I've got a challenge to read the book in the original language. It is incredibly hard, because of tremendous diversity of new words I have never seen. I am even happy stretching time for my pleasure of reading the book, because of a lack of the language. :P
Hopefully, I am going to finish the book in a fortnight!
p.s. I have already bought the second book! :) by Dmitry Rotenberg
Prepare to be hooked
If you're considering to start reading this series, be prepared to get hooked & continue to purchase the rest of the books. A saga full of intrigue, you're guided along through the person battles & experiences of all sides of those in the realm. Easily addictive & very entertaining. Highly recommended to all, including those who don't usually read fantasy but are always looking for an engaging read. by Natalieunder review
Borrowed this from library 3 years ago and just HAD to have my own copy! Characters are realistic, the action is raw, the plot - complex. I'm already waiting for Book 6! Own it in book form, not e-reader, it's just not the same on e-format. by Gail Chanunder review
A Game of Thrones
One of the best works of modern fantasy I have ever had the pleasure to read. From the very beginning, Martin's very specific style of writing - raw, dark, cynical - makes you devour page after page, always wondering what is going to happen on the next page. Some characters you'll love, some you'll hate, some you'd wish they die - but you'll going to want to read more about each and every one of them. Not only does every character have very specific nature, but the story very well connects the enire "crew" so that even though you don't like one of the characters, you want to know what's happening around him. by Martin Hasakunder review
A Game of Thrones
I am down to the last few chapters of the 1st Book The Game of Thrones and am planning to finish it today. It is an excellent book that leads you into a fantasy world. I have been moved by the plight of the characters and enjoyed the many twists and turns in the story line. As others have quoted I have lost sleep, meals and time with friends to finish reading this book but its all been worth it. Now I just need the rest of the series to arrive !! by Lisa McDonaldunder review
I am really enthused after reading this book. It is the best fantasy I've ever read. My only objection to this series is that at this time, on Jan 20th 2011, the series hasn't been completed! Bear that in mind, in case you want to start reading and you find yourself having finished the fourth book and will be waiting for a long time for the next! by Thanassis Roumpiesunder review

Lionsgate Locks Peter Cornwell in The Panopticon
From the brief summary provided by Lionsgate, the studio's upcoming sci-fi thriller The Panopticon doesn't seem to have a lot in common with an actual Panopticon, a type of prison designed by philosopher Jeremy Bentham in the late 1700's wherein all the cells are visible from the center of the building, but with The Haunting in Connecticut director Peter Cornwell at the helm, it's sure to be a fun ride anyway.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words "German" and "snuff"? Oh. No, not any of those websites. So. Ok, what's the second thing? That's right: The 18th Snuff World Championships, held in Germany! "The competition's aim," writes HyperVocal, "is to snuff as much as possible from a five grams snuff package. But there's an art to it." Naturally. Of course, if watching people cram carcinogenic brown substances into their orifices isn't your bag, there are plenty of other competitions that might better suit your sensibilites.
