During a longwinded, occasionally entertaining rant about how studios can't seem to formulate new intellectual properties, Deadline's Mike Fleming, Jr. let some biggish news slip: Denzel Washington, who can be seen in this weekend's oddly satisfying shoot 'em up "2 Guns," turned down a "small role" in the next 'Fast and Furious' movie (currently titled "Fast & Furious 7"), to be directed by James Wan ("The Conjuring," "Insidious: Chapter 2"). No details on who Denzel would have played or why he turned down the role, but Fleming is still hopeful that a major star can fill the void before Wan starts shooting. Considering Universal has already set a July 6th, 2014 date for "Fast & Furious 7," they'd better hurry up and find someone.
There are a lot of question marks surrounding "Fast & Furious 7," which doesn't even have a definitive lockdown of the cast (although series mainstay Vin Diesel has been tweeting about it since the spring). Dwayne Johnson, who has become a highlight since joining the series from "Fast Five" on, says that he won't be back due to scheduling conflicts with his forthcoming "Hercules: The Thracian Wars" (are they really going to call it that?), but we wouldn't rule him out just yet. These movies seem to exist in their own pocket universe, where scheduling conflicts don't exist and airport runways stretch on for miles. Jason Statham will be around as the villain, teased in a mid-credits cookie during "Fast & Furious 6" and we assume most of the principles will be back because, well, what else do Michelle Rodriguez or Paul Walker really have going on?
We look forward to hearing about what character Washington would have played (and who they woo to replace him). If anything, the critical and commercial success of "The Conjuring" showed what a world-class filmmaker Wan has become, and whatever he chooses to do next is an incredibly exciting proposition. He's hoping he brings a decidedly old school flavor back to the franchise.
"Fast & Furious 7," without Denzel Washington, hits theaters on July 6th, 2014. "2 Guns," with Denzel Washington, hits theaters this week.
ASFan | August 3, 2013 6:37 PM
Dwayne Johnson started filming Herc at the beginning of June. Fast 7 starts filming mid-September. It's safe to assume he'll be about done in time to do Fast 7. Also, I think Michelle Rodriguez stated in an interview that the Fast films adjust their schedules to accommodate their actors.
Anyway, I think Laurence Fishburne should be the one to take the role Denzel was asked to take.
Adam Scott Thompson | August 1, 2013 11:40 AM
He probably needed to see a script. And that script needed to have "I guarantee" in it.

Finally, I've found my HG facial sunscreen. I am a very fair person and it was really important to me to find a good sunscreen for my face. I had tried ThinkSport, Neutrogena, and countless others. They either irritated or my skin or were way too greasy for everyday use.
This one is perfect. It rubs in very easily and doesn't leave a whitecast (although I'm so pale that it really wouldn't be a problem, lol). There's a slight typical sunscreen-y smell but it quickly fades away. My face is a little shiny after I put this on but it's nowhere near as bad as other sunscreens, and I find that the shininess eventually fades away. It also makes my face feel so nice and smooth which I love. I haven't experienced any breakouts from this product.
It's a little pricey for how much you're getting. The tube isn't that big, but I bought it for around $9 on Amazon so it's definitely affordable at least.
Anyways, this is definitely my HG. I will definitely keep on repurchasing.

This is for the product in the updated packaging, an orange tube. I bought this at Whole Foods. First of all, I really like the ingredients of this: a good amount of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, along with Vitamin C + E, Green Tea extract, Aloe Vera, Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid, which are top quality ingredients and at a fair price. This SS doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, which is a huge plus for me, since I've noticed if my skin doesn't like something it will get red, blotchy, pores will get bigger, etc. This leaves it looking good.
The main con with this is that, like many physical SS that are actually doing anything at all, it is whitening. I find that I have to use less in order to make my face less white because I can't be going around with a geisha face. On the other hand, I do feel protected because it is so white; I've tried SS with ZincClear and I got more pigmentation so I don't feel those work as well.
I have to make sure to blend it well but it dries down quickly and isn't greasy or sticky. It actually has a good amount of slip and is easy to apply. I find it more usable than most other physical SS I've tried, Neutrogena Sensitive/Pure & Free SPF 60, Burnout (too drying), Coppertone Waterbabies, many others. I'm still figuring out what MU to wear over this, so far a slightly darker foundation has worked well. If you're expecting something completely cosmetically elegant you might be disappointed, however I like this for the quality ingredients, protection, and ease of application. Price -pretty good value, $17 for 3 oz. If it were any higher I wouldn't be as inclined to repurchase.

I love this stuff. I have combination skin that is VERY acne prone so there is a fine line between clear skin and zits galore. This moisturizer does leave my face dewy but it is very moisturizing and I love the way it makes my skin look and feel. I call this my liquid gold. Paula's choice put this as 'best of the best' for 2014; it is loaded with antioxidants (think wrinkle prevention) and provides plenty of SPF protection for my fair skin. There is NO scent and NO white cast like usual sunscreens cause. This would probably be too much for people with oily skin, but combination skin would benefit from this. I definitely recommend this to those that are struggling with finding a good moisturizer with SPF protection.

A wonderful face sunscreen. I alternate between this and Paula's Choice RESIST Super Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30. The Kiss My Face sunscreen is about half the price of Paula's, but they definitely both have their merits. The KMF sunscreen is unscented, non-irritating, smooth, creamy, and does not leave a white cast or greasy finish. It isn't as matte or as drying as the PC one, nor does it have the tint so this is good for days when I want a more dewy look. I wish this came in a tinted version, but it's still awesome!

I have very sensitive dry skin and this is just perfect. It has quite a thick texture which is moisturising without looking greasy, and instead of irritating my skin (as almost all sunscreens do), this one seems to calm it. I have read online that it has a lot of natural skin caring ingredients and it is also free of all nasties, colour and fragrance. Just a shame this isn't available in store in the UK and I can only purchase it online, but it is well worth this small inconvenience.

this stuff almost hit the mark. it claims to offer broad spectrum coverage. it has a nice texture. it does not feel too greasy or leave a too noticeable white cast on my pale-ish skin (it's very slight). it doesn't irritate my eyes, despite containing chemical sunscreen ingredients. the scent is mild and inoffensive (no "artificial fragrance" is added, though it does contain several plant oils and extracts).
the problem i had with this is that breaks me out-- not horribly, but enough to stop using it on my face. though i have combo/oily skin, i don't normally get acne. i started noticing tiny hard red pimples on my face after use.
i might try again but in the meantime am searching eleswhere.
note: this stuff is pretty pricey if you factor in the small amount you get ($14 for 2 oz)

I tried this under the scorching sun in Greece during summer. As far as sun protection goes, it does a great job. I did wear a hat most of the time but I stayed a couple of hours at a time under strong sunlight. I didn't tan or burn so in terms of protection it did work.
A huge plus also is that the texture is great and does not look oily on the skin. Skin as a matter of fact felt smooth and moisturized.
However - and this is why I took off 2 stars - I did break out only after 4 days and I rarely break out unless something is either irritating my skin or blocking my pores. I do have exceptionally sensitive skin though, so in might not affect other people.
Edit - the breakout was worse than I thought and in places I never thought I could break out but in the places I did apply the sunscreen :neck, on earlobe and of course cheeks and forehead.

I was looking for a face sunscreen that wouldn't be super shiny and greasy. I read the reviews on this and decided to give it a try. I found it in my local Sprouts (whole foods type grocery store) on sale for $10. I think the normal price is $13. As soon as I tried it -- I went back to buy another bottle! It is not greasy at all. It doesn't make me shiny or smell like typical sunscreen. I can wear it under makeup as a moisturizer. I can also put it all over my face just before going to the pool/beach. Love this!

I discovered this product through Beautypedia.com, and it received high ratings at an "affordable" price. Well, it was affordable compared to many others. I prefer moisturizers that provide at least SPF 30 because anything more than that won't make a difference. It wasn't difficult to blend, but it wasn't particularly watery. I did not repurchase this because it is expensive ($12.95 for 2 oz.) and because I prefer more emolient moisturizers. I replaced it with Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 30 Moisturizing Face Lotion.

When firefighters arrived, a little before 11:00 o'clock Saturday night, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the back of the home. Four occupants were able to escape. The fire started in the living room, but damage extended into the kitchen and attic.

More than 600 graduates will cross the stage Friday night at Piedmont Virginia Community College's 40th annual commencement ceremony.
This year's spring class is the largest in the history of the school, which was chartered in 1972. Two members of the class will receive their associate degrees even before they graduate from high school.
"With that associate degree under their belt, they're ready to transfer into a four year school as a third year student," said Anita Showers, PVCC's marketing and media relations manager.

Greengates residents angry at no post for two weeks
Updated 2:50pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in News By Jessica Nightingale, T&A Reporter
Royal Mail has come under fire from residents who say they have had no post for two weeks.
A clutch of residents living in Flower Garth, in Greengates, have spoken of their frustration at the lengthy disruption to their postal delivery.
Husband and wife, Irene, 70, and Brian Metcalf, 77, are concerned they have missed important letters, including one with details of a hospital appointment for Mr Metcalf.
Mrs Metcalf said: "I rang up last Thursday and they said the delay was down to the adverse weather conditions and because of health and safety issues.
"We've had groceries delivered no problem and people have been going in and out to work so I can't understand it.
"We were waiting for a letter with details of a hospital appointment for my husband and after it didn't arrive we had to ring the hospital to find out when it was.
"So we have missed an important letter and we are still waiting for post to come. I rang again on Monday and have had no response. It is health and safety gone mad."
Neighbouring couple Robert and Barbara Burns said they had experienced the same problems and echoed the concerns of Mr and Mrs Metcalf.
Royal Mail said the delays were caused as a result of the heavy snowfall which hit the country over the past two weeks. This made it difficult to carry out the regular deliveries in areas of Bradford, including Flower Garth.
Felicity MacFarlane, a Royal Mail spokesman, said: "Full postal deliveries resumed yesterday at some addresses in Bradford's BD10 postcode area, including Flower Garth Gardens, Greengates, and all outstanding mail has been delivered.
"Royal Mail apologises to customers in that area as we had been unable to deliver to some addresses over the last week due to adverse weather conditions."

In these times of austerity, surely being austere with the truth isn't part of it? The truth is that the Royal Mail are lazy jobsworths who do the minimum possible to keep their jobs and 'Elf 'n safety is a wonderful cop out to do naff all and still get paid. Maybe the Royal Mail should employ H&S officers who actually understand both the law and the PRINCIPLE of the law, then they might actually get somewhere...

Health and safety has gone beyond a joke

Is it still a serious offence to wantonly delay Her Majesty's mail - it certainly used to be?

MADISON, Wisconsin (WXOW) - A rematch is shaping up at the Wisconsin Legislature over proposed streamlining of Wisconsin's mine permitting laws this winter.
Leaders from northern Wisconsin communities pleaded for environmental protections at a hearing of a special legislative committee Thursday.
Officials with the Wisconsin Mining Association also testified before the state Senate Select Committee on Mining. They presented a consultant's report critical of current permitting laws.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports Republicans on the committee say the GOP will test its new majorities by trying to again pass the mining bill that failed last session..
Gov. Scott Walker said this week that Gogebic Taconite, the company that wanted to build a mine near Lake Superior but pulled out after the bill failed, is interested in returning if the legislation eases its way.
MADISON (WKOW) -- One day after Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) urged state legislators to approve a new mining bill in 2013, the bi-partisan Senate Select Committee on Mining met to hear testimony from the head of the Wisconsin Mining Association.
WMA Chairman Tim Sullivan is expected to speak to the committee this afternoon.
On Wednesday, Gov. Walker emphasized his hope that a new mining bill could get done soon to lure Gogebic Taconite back to establish an iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin, near Mellen.
A mining bill that would have streamlined the permitting process for G-Tac died in the State Senate in March over environmental concerns.

William Dare Holland
One of the leading merchants of Dunn, William Dare Holland is serving his community as postmaster, is handling real estate, and is interested in a number of the local enterprises, for he is a man of great enterprise and sterling character and his fellow citizens have confidence in him and are willing to support him in anything he undertakes. His polity in his business is prompt service and good goods, and he not only buys the best quality the market affords, but he marks them to his customers at the lowest possible price consistent with their real value. As a consequence of his above-board policies and modern methods Mr. Holland enjoys a wide patronage and is very successful.
William Dare Holland was born at Raleigh, North Carolina, April 29, 1887, a son of John B. and Carrie M (Adams) Holland, the latter of whom was born and reared at Raleigh but the former was born in Johnston County, North Carolina. The paternal grandfather, George Holland, served in the War Between the States, and died of smallpox during the war period. John B. Holland is a very active man, operating two mills and 600 acres of land in Cumberland County. He has served as United States Commissioner, United States deputy marshal, and United States deputy collector of the Eastern District of North Carolina, and was the first public cotton weigher ever appointed from Dunn, where he and his wife reside.
Reared at Dunn, William Dare Holland attended its public schools, and later took a business course. While his parents resided at Dunn from the time he was three years old, the farm was near enough to the town for him to gain a first-hand knowledge of farming, and he also worked in the store owned by his father. Married at eighteen, he felt it incumbent upon him as head of a household to go into business for himself, and when nineteen he embarked in a general mercantile business, his cash capital being forty dollars. From the start he was successful, and he kept on increasing his stock as his funds justified, and today he is conducting a very large and constantly augmenting business.
In 1911 Mr. Holland enlisted as a private of Company M of the local National Guard, being one of the charger members, and when the Guard were ordered mobilized for service on the Mexican border in 1916 he went with his command and participated in that campaign. He was one of the three charter members of Company M that was in the World war, and was captain of "L" Company assigned to the One Hundred and Nineteenth Infantry, Thirteenth Division, Old Hickory, and went overseas with this unit. Stricken with influenza while in the trenches in the Ypres sector, he was confined in hospital until he was honorably discharged in 1919.
With his return to civilian life he resumed his mercantile activities. On June 21, 1921, he was appointed postmaster of Dunn by President Harding, and reappointed June 28, 1926, by President Coolidge, and is the present incumbent of the office. Under his administration the affairs of the office have been brought into fine condition, and the service is eminently satisfactory.
On June 30, 1904, Mr. Holland married Leola F. Lewis, a daughter of B. and Jane (Parker) Lewis, natives of Sampson County, North Carolina. For years a merchant of Dunn, Mr. Lewis is now retired. Mr. And Mrs. Holland have three children: Kathleen Dare, who was born March 15, 1905; Bert Melton, who was born August 22, 1906; and Herbert Clifford, who was born February 4, 1908.
In December 1925, Mr. Holland was elected commander of Dunn-Erwin Post No. 59, American Legion, for the year 1926. This post is a prosperous unit of 120 members. Fraternally r. Holland holds membership with the Knights of Pythias, the Junior Order United American Mechanics and the Loyal Order of Moose, and he is a past chancellor commander and present deputy of the Knights of Pythias. He is president of the Merchants Association of Dunn, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and is on its directorate. Not only does he own considerable residential and business property at Dunn, but he deals in real estate, is a stockholder in the Dunn Hotel Company, operating the fine Cotton Dale Hotel erected in 1926, which hostelry compares favorably to any similar house in the South, and is chairman of a special committee of the company. In politics he is a republican, and he is one of the effective party workers. The Baptist Church has in him one of its most earnest workers, and he is a deacon of the church. The family residence is at 310 South Magnolia Avenue, and here is a comfortable home that is maintained. Mrs. Holland is a member of the auxiliary which Mr. Holland has organized since he became commander of the post, and she is deeply interested in the work.

Cemetery worker backed by judge over tribunal
12:30pm Monday 17th December 2012 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
A FORMER cemetery gatekeeper who won his case against Worcester City Council when they unfairly sacked him is celebrating after an appeal was thrown out.
David Allen, who worked for the authority for 30 years, took his employers to an employment tribunal in July 2011.
The 49-year-old, who was also employed by the council as a gravedigger, was dismissed on ill-health grounds after developing the condition vibration whitefinger, caused by using machinery.
An in-house investigation then found his son Mark had used a council strimmer without permission, and he was fired – a decision upheld by a councillors' appeal panel at the time.
Last year Mr Allen won his case at Birmingham Emplyment Tribunal, only for council chiefs to take the matter to an Employment Appeal Tribunal in London.
But last week Judge William Birtles, sitting on the appeal, refused it and said the original court must now decide what compensation Mr Allen is due.
Mr Allen believes he may have a claim for up to £20,000 – which would come from taxpayers – but this has yet to be confirmed.
As of today the authority has 14 days remaining to consider an appeal over the rejection.
Mr Allen, who lives in Canterbury Road, Ronkswood, said: "I'm delighted by the decision because it's been a long time to get to this stage.
"It has now been sent back to the original judge for compensation to be awarded, so I'll have to wait and see how it goes.
"Because I haven't had any money to get a solicitor I've had to defend myself, so it's been tough."
Mr Allen was evicted from his on-site house last year and has got a job two days a week at Bishop Perowne CE College, doing general work such as gardening.
He was so cash-strapped last year that he put banners outside his home pleading for help from a solicitor, but after nothing came from it he defended himself.
A city council spokeswoman said: "Although there are two sides to this story, we do accept the tribunal's decision.
"We have not yet received the tribunal's written judgement and we are unable to comment further for reasons of confidentiality."

The thing that struck me was how hard it is for this presumably relatively low-paid worker to get a fairly small reward, compared to the large amounts freely handed out for no apparent reason to people who seem to be massively overpaid in the first place, in the public sector.

You only have to cast your minds back to Entwhistle of the BBC and Fred Goodwin of RBS to see that failure is handsomely rewarded.

I can easily imagine that there are two sides to this story, but I hope the outcome is satisfactory to all concerned.

The Bureau decided to end the employment casework service at the end of September 2010 and I was made redundant.
Since then I have been seeking to provide an informal service providing free of charge assistance for people with employment claims. I am committed to doing this full time and hope to establish the work properly as a charitable company limited by guarantee and registered with AdviceUK.

But people like David Allen should not be left having battles like this on their own. I am delighted that David has succeeded but for I fear that for every one success like this there are many cases of people who have been unable to pursue claims because of lack of support and assistance.
Most of my volunteers are people who have had their own experience of pursuing a Tribunal claim and in turn want to help others.

Mr Da Silva worked at Senoble's Broadheath premises near Worcester.

Harassment claim upheld due to manager's lack of credibility
In Da Silva v Senoble UK Ltd, a tribunal upheld a racial harassment claim made by an employee after he had been repeatedly humiliated by his manager calling him a "Brazilian ****". The tribunal rejected the manager's denial, as his credibility was undermined by evidence that he had called two Polish women "Fanny".
Da Silva is Brazilian. He lodged a claim of racial harassment alleging that his manager, Rai, had repeatedly humiliated him in front of his colleagues by calling him a "Brazilian ****" and "Brazilian c**t". Rai denied the allegation, pointing out that he himself is of Pakistani origin. But evidence from work colleagues showed that Rai had been picking on Da Silva for over two years and he had admitted making sexist comments to two Polish female workers by calling them "Fanny".
The tribunal decided on the balance of probabilities, that Rai, despite his denial, was capable of using inappropriate language to colleagues and had repeatedly made derogatory comments to Da Silva related to his Brazilan nationality for over a period of two years, given the evidence given by Da Silva and his colleagues, and by drawing an inference from what Rai accepted he had said to the Polish women. The discriminatory comments had violated Da Silva's dignity and constituted harassment contrary to S.26 of the Equality Act 2010.
