Sensitivity is an important characteristic in your husband or wife. Most people seek out others, who display empathy and sympathy, who feel for you when you're down and want to care for you when you're sick. Many women say they want "sensitive" men. In one way, they're telling the truth. No one wants an abusive or mean husband, after all. But a man who is too sensitive is a turn off to many women, too. It's a fine line men have to walk -- and the line gets finer all the time.
I personally have never seen my husband cry, and we've known each other for six years. He didn't even tear up at our wedding. Part of me wants to see him cry sometime. It seems robotic to be so stoic. I want to know what moves him. I want to know he's sensitive. But then I think about it. Really think about it. Part of me really appreciates it when he's strong and tough and not at all a cry baby. I can be the one who breaks down a bit if he is strong. That can be a relief for a type-A personality.
Then, I think, "Boy, we women are not always fair to men." What do we want? Do we want someone sensitive or do we want someone hard? Are we ever going to be okay with them breaking down? We send our men mixed signals and then they don't know what to do. Some of them cry waterfalls and want to talk about their feelings day and night. They do their hair and have more beauty products than their wife. Others never cry, never show any emotions, and refrain from doing anything that could have them remotely mistaken for a woman.
We women, however, have to be clear about what we want. We have to be open to men who are sensitive without being weak, emotionally intelligent without being a wuss. We need to allow men to be as strong and weak as we are. Frankly, I want my men to be the same as us women -- strong yet sensitive. We all should be able to hold our head up high, shed a tear now and then, but not fall to pieces at the first sign of challenge or difficulty. It's that simple.

So, I realize this is an old post, but what the heck. I married a man who was a shy, quiet type of person at first. As time went by I saw the a*hole side of him. He has an anger problem and is very bad at controlling that emotion. He gets so mad that he cries. Literally. It makes me seem as the bad person in the relationship. When in all my previous relationships I was the one always crying because the guys I used to date were a*holes. Now I let things slide like water on a duck's back and have no idea that I'm now being the a*hole. I am aggressive and I try my hardest to submit to my husband but if I feel he's wrong and I'm right, I can't hold back. I'm far from mean, I'm just blunt. What do I do with a sensitive man?

My guess is that improving communication between the two of you and learning what each of you needs will help you both with this problem you're having. Did you have an pre-marital counseling? That sometimes helps. If you did not, you could go to a counselor or spiritual leader now to discuss. Would you consider that? Thanks for sharing.
- June 17, 2013 at 4:27 pm(3) Jean says:
From reading a bunch of credible articles of insecure men, it looks like your man is insecure with himself, big time. Either that or he has anger issues that will only get worse. Honestly, it could be a number of different things. He could have serious mental issues, that he nor you know anything about. I know this from experience. I dated a guy who was fairly shy and quiet until he started becoming controlling, telling me what I should and shouldn't wear, smothering me, questioning my every move, calling me degrading names, etc. The list goes on and on, I really think that you should get out of this relationship or you two need to talk and see if he can get some serious help (counseling).

Children's Water Festival
2014 Northern Maine Children's Water Festival
Tuesday, October 14, 2914
University of Maine
See Maine Children's Water Festival Website
The Mitchell Center is a proud sponsor of the Northern Maine Children's Water Festival which promotes hands on learning about water issues. This one-day event bring together over 600 students and their teachers. Water resource professionals from Maine and New England provide presentations and activities about water, wetlands, human health and aquatic life; there are water trivia quiz shows hosted by local radio and television personalities, as well as activities using music and art. This experience is provided at no cost to the participants. In fact, the festival provides funding to help schools pay the cost of transportation. The festival goals are to teach students about the value of clean water and healthy habitats, and to provide teachers with materials and lessons that they can use for years to come. Also, many activities are aligned with Maine's Learning Results. Schools are chosen to attend on the basis of their applications, what they currently teach about water, and how they will use the festival experience in their curriculum.
The Northern Maine Children's Water Festival is held every other year. The next festival is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at the University of Maine, Orono.
If you would like additional information on the festival or if you are interested in providing sponsorship for the festival, please contact Ruth Hallsworth at (207) 581-3196.

Canyoneering in SE Utah's Robbers Roost: November 16-22, 2006
to Salt Lake City, drive south, over mountains, past canyons, pause to play frisbee in a sleepy town punctuated by the lights of gas stations: Hanksville, Utah. Last outpost of civilization.
Drive dirt roads, dodging kamikaze jack rabbits, park at trailhead. We have arrived.
Wake to brilliant sunrise, mountains, canyons surround. Load all belongings in backpack, repack, repack once more. Tie boots, check map, set off.
Mesa recedes, slickrock appears. Descend step by careful step with the world spread out before you. Eat, rest, cross river, hike on. Our camp is our home.
Explore archways and quicksand. Feast on pasta, made more delicious by hard work. Move to a new camp, wading through the river over again and again. Cold clear nights freeze our boots and reveal stars upon stars.
Rise early, hike, climb, hurry to reach our goal. A darker canyon, narrow and twisting, opens to us. Enter, wiggle, slide, rappel, use caution, exclaim.
This place is ours, we belong to it.
Utah, According to Sam (senior)
After a long day of travel, I quickly fell asleep, and remember mostly a sense of slowly leaving behind all of civilization as we drove further and further into the desert. Long after the sun had set, we stopped to play a night game of Frisbee, eerily illuminated by the harsh lights of a gas station. Finally, after having gingerly guided the vans over miles of dirt road, we found ourselves at the trailhead.
In the morning I had to massage the tip of my nose for five minutes before it felt warm again. For the first time, we could see the desert surrounding us. An enormous mountain range shot up out of the tableland, while in front of us were the canyons. After dividing up the group equipment among the packs, we set off downhill. As we descended down slickrock formations as round and smooth as gigantic popcorn kernels, I noticed that the canyons were a fascinating study in color combinations-- the cliffs rearing above us ranged from rusty to crayon-pink to a glassy black that looked like scorchmarks from a rocket.
The most surreal moment for me came as we turned a corner and found ourselves facing a ridiculously tall, sheer cliff the color of pepto-bismol. Branching off from the main canyon, we hiked a little ways up the side canyon where we planned to set up base camp, and laid our tents and tarps down under the spindly branches of an old tree. The canyon walls leaned in towards us, creating an odd, stadium-like effect.
Since we were hiking up a creekbed, we experienced the entire spectrum- mud that your foot immediately sunk into like iron weights in water, mud that was mostly slippery clay, mud that looked like solid rock but had the consistency of thick chocolate frosting, and this really bizarre mud with a thin pudding-like membrane which slowly stretched under your weight and then broke like a punctured waterbed (we later found out that this was quicksand).
Angel's Arch was a large circular hole that pierced right through a thin peninsula of canyon wall jutting out like the front of a ship into the canyon. We clambered up through the hole and around what would be the bow of the ship to the top of the rock wall. From here, we could access a strange, globular landscape of tremendous slickrock half-globes.
Once dark had set in we sat down to fix dinner- quesadillas made with three different kinds of cheese. It struck me that almost anything tastes better when you're cold and hungry. After extensive debate about the days ahead, we decided unanimously to pack up and travel to a new campsite further down the canyon, and then go rappeling from the mesa the next day. I harbored some anxiety about the rappeling-I pictured leaping off some sheer precipice of ungodly height, tethered by a wire-thin cord to a small shrub. But I agreed with the decision, albeit hesitantly.
In the morning we packed up the campsite and headed up the river. We had to cross the Dirty Devil river again, and then immediately cut back across. We continued to switch back and forth like that for a good few hours, at one point hugging a cliff wall to inch along a narrow rock shelf. After a nasty tangle with some quicksand, we ate lunch on a sunny sand bank and made sandwiches.
(more below)
(continued from above)
In a search for a drinking water source, Aiyana and I ventured up a ravine made up of pink so dark it was almost magenta. The rock swirled into itself so fluidly it looked more like liquid than stone. The ravine was punctuated by deep holes big enough to fall into, which collapsed down into blackness like whirlpools. We found only a tiny pool of stagnant water and mud, and returned to the group with the bad news.
We set up tarps and sleeping pads as the sun began to disappear behind the mesa. We began to realize at this point that we had brought a slightly excessive amount of food. I got very excited about the prospects of an elaborate spaghetti dinner, and coerced several others into frying, mixing, and otherwise preparing the dinner.
Our plan for the next day was to trek up to the top of the mesa and then rappel down a narrow side canyon. Upon awaking, we found that our boots had frozen overnight and were impossible to get on. We wrestled with them until everyone had some kind of footwear on. One by one we tied in and scrambled up a steep slope of slickrock, until we had all assembled just below the mesatop. Finally, we reached the flatlands. It was the first time since waking up at the cars that we had been this high. The sun was suddenly unavoidable and unbearable, and we began to shed. We saw for the first time in days evidence of civilization- tire tracks and beer cans. We stopped at the top of the cliff we planned to descend, and it was somewhat difficult to eat lunch with such a clear view of the impending danger.
We tied the rope to what Chris assured me was a secure anchor (it looked more like a pile of boulder loosely stacked on a slope). Then we all walked up to the cliff, roped in, and rappelled. I had been apprehensive, but the actual descent was quite manageable and even fun- there's a certain James Bond-like quality to it.
The canyon had become very narrow and twisty, and for the next few minutes we noticed a significant drop in temperature as we made our way down the passage. The clay-colored cliff walls bent and curled like smoke, blocking out the sky and enveloping us in their grasp. I'm not sure if the sinister atmosphere I'm describing was something that I noticed at the time, or what I imagined retroactively, in light of the events that took place afterwards.
We had decided to climb down a short cliff while roped in, with Chris and Aiyana acting as our anchors by bracing themselves against the cliff walls while we climbed down. Michael went first, and then Max, both without incident. The rest of us waited in a loose line, chatting and kicking rocks. Suddenly, everyone around me became very silent. I turned to see what they were looking at. A tiny rattlesnake, as big around as my thumb, was curled up a few feet from Chris. Aiyana whispered to us that we should all calmly and quietly climb down as unobtrusively as possible. Any sudden noises or movements might have endangered Chris.
(more below)
(continued from above)
After ten minutes of very quiet rock-climbing, we had all gotten down to the bottom, and we could discuss the event in incredulous tones. Chris's statement on the event was, in my mind, the most descriptive: "I respected the snake. There was respect, but– also– there was fear of the snake. And the fear was that the snake was going to bite me."
We hadn't gone too much further before we hit another obstacle- an impossibly narrow, steep passage of canyon that we would have to slide down feet first if we wanted to get through. Again we waited in line to rope up and make the descent. This time I actually found myself a bit frightened by the experience—the sensation was fairly claustrophobic. I did eventually hit the ground, and then we actually emerged from the narrow canyon! Wonder of wonders! We could see the sunset, as well as actual vegetation and wildlife. It was a beautiful sight.
As we followed the canyon bottom back to camp, we kept encountering gigantic, foul-smelling cow droppings, and it wasn't long before we encountered their source. A herd of cows was ambling nonchalantly down the trail, and quickly spooked at our approach. After this long day, I was feeling a little under the weather, and was inexplicitly missing my headlamp. As night fell, I resembled a zombie- staggering forward uncertainly with my arms outstretched (to ward off branches) and moaning groggily. When we got to camp, I tore off my boots and immediately fell into bed and went to sleep.
After an intensely pancake-oriented breakfast, we crossed the river one last time and took off up a hill, until we finally reached a dirt road on top of the mesa. We arrived at the cars with hours of daylight left, and enjoyed our first free time in days. Dinner that night was quesadillas and whatever we could dredge up out of our packs. We fell asleep next to the vans secure in the knowledge that the next day would require next to no physical exertion.

I have connected a Samsung SE-208DB External USB 2.0 rewriter to my MSI U130 Notebook. This is a external rewriter that you plug in and it's ready to go strait away,.
First time i connected drive to notebook the drive icon showed in My Computer and started to read the system restore disc i had in it, but the little blue circle appeared, so i turned the notebook off/on.
Since using the off/on method i don't get the drive icon showing in My Computer. The drive still makes the noises like it's trying to install disc and the light flashes on rewriter.
It seems Windows 7 is not recognizing the external dvd drive
Can someone please advise how to fix problem?

Can you see it in device manager? If so then right click and select uninstall. Still in device manager click on Action at the top. You might have to click twice so that you get the option to " Scan for hardware changes ". Try the scan.

Sitting down is common in the age of cubicles and computers, but there's been a growing discussion in recent years about its dangers. A new study that examined the habits of 222,497 Australian adults found that those who sat more than 11 hours a day had a 40 percent higher risk of dying over three years than those who sat less than four hours a day. Additionally, it found that while exercise helped improve the odds, the risk of death still rose as active people sat longer. The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, covered adults aged 45 and older and accounted for factors like age, weight, physical activity, and general health.
To combat the effects, the study suggests that doctors should focus on "reducing sitting time in addition to increasing physical activity levels" — a conclusion reached long ago by parents seeking to rid their living rooms of sedentary youth. For adults, the obvious answer would seem to be a standing desk, but given recent developments in wearable computing, maybe we'll soon ditch furniture altogether.

NEAR WINONA, Minn. (KTTC) -- A drug fueled night ended in the arrest of five people at a motel near Winona.
The arrests happened after a stakeout by deputies and assistance from the Emergency Management Team.
Just off of U.S. 61, Winona County Sheriff's deputies along with the Southeast Minnesota Narcotics Gang and Task Force began surveillance late Wednesday after the sheriff received a tip about suspicious activity at the Sundown Motel.
"It does create a little bit more hazard because we don't know who's in the other rooms," said Winona County Chief Deputy Ron Ganrude. "Of course, if something happens you have to worry about not just the people you're dealing with but the general public that just spending the night there probably."
Authorities watched as people were coming and going frequently, suggesting possible drug activity and eventually they recognized someone with an outstanding warrant get into a vehicle. Just after 11 p.m. Wednesday, the vehicle was pulled over for a traffic stop and three arrests were made. Meanwhile, surveillance at the motel continued and it happened again.
"They saw somebody there they knew had a felony warrant out for him and there was talk that the person may be armed so we decided to do a search warrant so we decided to use the emergency response team to make that arrest," Ganrude said.
Two more people were taken into custody.
"It was a lot of man-hours, it was a lot of time," Ganrude said. "But ultimately it resulted in five arrests and no big incident. Nobody got hurt."
Ganrude said this is a good example of someone being observant and passing along valuable information.
"We really encourage people to call when they think something's up," Ganrude said. "If there's strange vehicles over at the neighbor's house and you know they aren't home don't wonder should I call, just call."
The suspects were charged Thursday with 5th degree controlled substance crimes.

I think the Giants will go 3-5 over the next 8 games.
I'm basing that on my complete 8ull$hit analysis of probable pitching matchups:
ortiz v. duke (likely loss)
- The Pirates owned us last year, and Zuke is their dude. Hopefully Russ surprises.
zito v. armas (likely win)
- Armas isn't all that, and Zito has to start clicking at some point.
cain v. snell (likely tossup)
- I'm worried about this one, because of aforementioned Pirates ownage and Snell's stuff.
morris v. francis (likely tossup)
- Morris has done well enough to earn a tossup in what I would have called a likely loss last year.
lowry v. hirsch (likely tossup)
- Honestly, I think Hirsch will win out, but Lowry's pitched well, so we'll see.
ortiz v. reyes (likely loss)
- Don't know much about Reyes, but he's got to be better, on paper at least, than Ortiz.
zito v. wells (likely tossup)
- Kip Wells is pretty good, right?
cain v. looper (likely win)
- Cain, Cain, he's our man, if he can't do it, we need an offense!
So I got 2 likely wins, 2 likely losses, and 4 tossups. Because the offenses that we'll be facing are better in general than the Padres' and the Dodgers', I'm saying 1-3 on the tossups, 3-5 overall.

Floral Haze Organza Gown

La Jolla's WindanSea beachfront property to be replaced by condo complex
By Ashley Mackin
The property at 6722 Vista Del Mar at WindanSea in La Jolla will be replaced — perhaps as early as this summer — with a new seven-unit condominium complex according to renderings on the Coldwell Banker California Moves site, as well as community planning group minutes. The current residents must be out by the end of March and were told escrow on the property closes at the end of April.
Residents told the La Jolla Light they knew little about the plans and were given 60 days notice to vacate as developers were waiting for city approval and a few final permits before construction begins. The realtor would not name the buyer, who could not be reached for comment.
In August 2010, the Development Permit Review Committee approved "findings for the Coastal Development Permit, Site Development Permit for Environmentally Sensitive Lands and Map Waiver application to waive the requirements of a tentative map to demolish existing buildings (6722 Vista Del Mar) and construct seven residential condominiums on a 0.17 acre site," per the minutes from that meeting.
The following month, the Community Planning Association (CPA) accepted the DPR recommendation for approval and forwarded its recommendation to the City of San Diego. The Coldwell Banker site also states the Coastal Development Permit was approved.

Russian authorities in Moscow broke up a march of Pastafarians on Saturday with some help from anti-gay Russian Orthodox religious activists.
Moscow police told RIA Novosti that eight Pastafarians were detained for "attempting to hold an unsanctioned rally" in the city.
Followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster planned to hold a "pasta procession" in Moscow and St. Petersburg to honor the birthday of Robert De Niro, who once played a character named Noodle in the movie Once Upon A Time in America.
The "pasta procession" in Moscow was disrupted by the Orthodox activist group Bozhaya Volya, or God's Will, who sprayed ketchup on a march participants. The Orthodox group has held demonstrations against homosexuality, the punk rock group Pussy Riot, and the Darwin natural history museum.
Moscow police dispersed the marchers, claiming the procession was not sanctioned by authorities.
"We were detained for simply walking," one Pastafarian wrote on a social networking website. "In particular, I was taken in for a sieve on my head."
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster came into being thanks to a sarcastic letter Bobby Henderson sent to the Kansas Board of Education over the teaching of Intelligent Design in 2005. Pastafarians believe the theory of gravity is a hoax. Things stay on the ground rather than float away because the invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster holds them down with his noodly appendages.
Earlier this month, Russia enacted a law that makes "insulting the religious sensitivities of believers" a crime.

Posts Tagged 'veterans'
There is a reason that I am no longer a registered Republican and have begun working with The American Conservative Party to develop a viable third-party option to those pinheads in Washington – one of those being they consistently vote against our military veterans every step of the way. Imagine my surprise when I read this from our buddy Marc Chamot over at The Examiner.com:
House Cuts 10,000 "2011″ HUD Housing Vouchers for Homeless Veterans
Really, people? We're facing a $3.6 Trillion spending budget with a deficit of $1.6 Trillion – you submit a budget with only $61 Billion in cuts, the OMB publishes a report stating there is over $100 Billion in overlapping departments and programs – and you decide our military Veterans need to get the shaft? I was truly hoping that the new TEA Party candidates would have a bigger impact – apparently, not.
I guarantee you I can find at least $1.6 Trillion to cut out of our government based on the 2010 Budget:
The Department of Education – $46.7 Billion
The Department of Energy – $26.3 Billion
The EPA – $10.5 Billion
Medicare – $453 Billion
Medicaid – $295 Billion
Social Security – $695 Billion
Social Security Administration – $9.7 Billion
National Infrastructure Bank – $5 Billion
Corporation for National and Community Service – $1.1 Billion
Total of All the Above – $1.54 Trillion – okay – I was a little close. My figures are based on if you cut those programs and departments out completely. If you click that link above to see the total 2010 budget – you will see the percentage increases of 2009. I would cut back all of those increases to the 2006 levels of spending. In addition, you will notice what is absent as itemized in the budget – all the Congressional perks such as a subsidized cafeteria, gas, car, insurance, housing allowance, lifetime benefits consisting of a pension and health care. Also absent the itemization are the IRS and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. I would cut out ALL the perks these politicians enjoy, do away with the IRS entirely, and sell of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. I guarantee you I will would produce a surplus.
Those idiots in Congress need to do the right thing and just start slashing everywhere. This country is in serious financial disaster right now. Our dollar is tanking, the stock market is headed downward again, gas prices are going through the roof, food prices are about to spike, and true unemployment is about to hit 20%.
They need to lay off our Veterans.
h/t to Jan – This is a must see video. If you don't pass on the video – please – at least pass on the story. The ACLU is currently in the process of trying to have this WWI Veteran Memorial torn down and removed from the Mojave Desert in California. Why would they do this? To appease one man who lives in Oregon that has never even driven by or seen the memorial. He wants it removed just because he "might" see it one day. This is atrocious and an egregious act not only against our military – but – it is also an attack against Christianity as well. Please take the time out to view this video and let others know. We can't allow them to remove this memorial to our service members. Show your support, go to Don't Tear Me Down and sign their petition. If you're a blogger – add their widget – you can see mine on the side there. You can also follow them on Twitter, and Facebook.
Please use the "share this" button below and share it with everyone you know through whatever services you have. Stumble, Digg, Propeller, etc – this is an important story and needs to get out there. Take the video and put it up on your blogs too.
Other Bloggers who have posted about this issue:
CMBlak6 – What the fuck is wrong with these "people"?
Mike Buffington – ACLU suing to remove WW1 Memorial
First – it looks like over night I hit the 50,000+ mark for visitors! Woo Hoo! Not bad for being under a year old here. In case you guys don't know – I will be celebrating my one year blogiversary here come February 28th!
Now – regarding this post – I promised Larry from Last Refuge of a Scoundrel I would put this up. He's a retired Navy veteran himself. I'm a zoomie – but – I support anything that has to do with our military, active duty & retired, any service. He brought something to light that I was not aware of – as the title states – Navy Veterans and Mesothelioma. Apparently, many of the older Navy ships were built with asbestos in the walls. When they scrap the old ships they have to remove the asbestos which apparently is more harmful than if they had just left it there.
I did a little research of my own and found out some very interesting statistics. There was a 1980 study conducted by Geoffrey Sheers from the Plymouth Hospital and Ruth Coles of the Davenport Naval Base Medical Research Unit in England – They had found that in 1978 alone there were 108 deaths of naval dockyard workers related to mesothelioma. This means that as far back as 30+ years it was known that asbestos exposure was harmful to naval dockyard workers and naval personnel.
According to the Asbestos.com website – up to millions of veterans have been exposed to asbestos containing materials. More than 30% of those in the U.S. that have mesothelioma had prior exposure from the military. In a 2005 report in Military Medicine on planning for Military Occupational Health Care – the Surgeon Commodore, G.H. Grant McMillan specifically stated that departing and retiring military members should be aware of delayed effects of health, and in particular, asbestos exposure.
Apparently, asbestos exposure resulting in mesothelioma is very common in veterans. If you haven't figured it out yet, or haven't heard of it yet, mesothelioma is a pretty nasty disease. Asbestos is made of fibrous material that is inhaled and plants itself in the pleura of the lungs. There are four types of malignant mesothelioma: pleural (lung), pericardial (heart), peritoneal (abdominal), and testicular. Mesothelioma is also called asbestos cancer. The outcome usually is death.
There is support out there for veterans and they can find more information through the Asbestos.com website. If you are a veteran, active duty, friend or family of a veteran or military member, or are just so inclined – let's help get the word out.

My research work focuses on the discovery of new natural product compounds with anticancer or anti-HIV properties. Bioassay-guided chemical fractionation of natural product extracts is employed to isolate and purify individual bioactive compounds. Chemical and spectroscopic analysis are then used to establish the complete molecular structures of the active agents. This involves the acquisition and analysis of data from a variety of contemporary spectroanalytical techniques, with a particular emphasis on NMR and mass spectrometry. Identification and structural characterization of these bioactive compounds provides new structural classes or molecular scaffolds for the development of potential drug leads or biological probes.

Marblehead, MA — Edward F. Hawkes, of Falmouth and Marblehead, died peacefully at his home on March 27, 2013, at the age of 92. He was the beloved husband of Jean (Marsh Eldridge) Hawkes, devoted father of Ted Hawkes of Gloucester, George Bell of Dorchester, Dorset MacRae of Farmington, N.H., and dear stepfather of Marsha Eldridge and her husband, Bruce Merrill of Oak Bluffs, Peggy Stockman and her husband, Alex Bloom of Boston, Louise Eldridge and her husband, Paul Charland of Brookline, N.H., Lorraine Eldridge and her partner, Tim Tsai of W. Tisbury, and Barbara Eldridge of E. Falmouth. He was the much loved grandfather and great grandfather to 16, and devoted uncle to Lee Rand of Falmouth. He was the son of the late Winslow and Elizabeth (Herr) Hawkes.
Ed was born in Marblehead and spent his youth on and near the water. He was a familiar figure around Barnegat, and loved his lobster boat the Lizzie H. He was well known and respected by all in Marblehead's First Harbor.
In 1941, after war broke out in Europe, Ed traveled north to Canada to join the Royal Canadian Air Force, because he was determined to fly. One of many Americans to join the RCAF, Ed served in the 404 Squadron as pilot throughout the war, stationed in England and Scotland.
After the war, Ed returned to Marblehead, where he made his living in and around boats, eventually establishing his own business, Bates & Hawkes, marine surveyors. He married, became a father to his first wife's children and raised a son of his own, but always stayed close to the sea. In 1979, he married Jean Marsh Eldridge and became a central figure in the lives of an ever expanding family for the remaining years of his life. An affectionate, generous, loyal and dedicated family man, a fully engaged mentor who enthusiastically supported the work of his grandchildren, a worldly gentleman who provided a striking example to the next generation - he was a constant presence in all our lives.

(MASHABLE) - What began as an outburst in class is now making the rounds online. Video of a student reprimanding his teacher for her allegedly poor teaching methods has gone viral.
Several versions of the cell-phone video, which each have garnered hundreds of comments and thousands of likes since being uploaded to YouTube Wednesday, identify the school as Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas.
In an impassioned speech, the student criticizes his teacher for "handing them a frickin' packet" instead of providing "face-to-face" lessons.
"I'm telling you what you need to do. You want kids to come into your class, you want them to get excited for this? You gotta come in here, you gotta make them excited. You want a kid to change and start doing better? You gotta touch his frickin' heart. Can't expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell him," he says, as the teacher repeatedly tells him to leave the class.
"You've got to take this job serious. This is the future of this nation. And when you come in here like you did last time and make a statement about, 'Oh this is my paycheck,' indeed it is. But this is my country's future, and my education."
Many online commenters support the student's views, with some condemning the teacher for her "immature" response.
Duncanville High School did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

After an incredible streak of stoppages against some of the best names in the history of the UFC's Light Heavyweight division, UFC 205 pound champion Jon Jones finally saw it come to an end earlier this year in the UFC 145 main event against former friend and current rival Rashad Evans.
While Jones would win the fight pretty convincingly, he rarely had Evans in serious trouble and seemed content to play to his physical advantages and ride out the 25 minutes.
"Bones" admitted as much during yesterday's UFC 152 media conference call, talking about the different perspective he looked at the bout against his former sparring partner Evans:
"With Rashad, I think a part of me saw a guy that I had sparred against, and I don't know - some of those elbows were definitely malicious, but my killer instinct was just not there for some reason. I was more focused - and I hate to say this - on just winning that fight. I'm not going to sit here and say I took it easy, but there was something in my bones that didn't allow me to really, really try to really hurt him and I think that was a small part about why I couldn't finish Rashad."
Of cource, Jones didn't want to say the blame lay fully on his end. Rashad is, after all, a pretty damn good fighter.
"To his credit, Rashad is an awesome warrior. He only lost once in like 20-something fights. Me and Rashad are both gifted. We're both winners. Our styles are different, entertainment factors could be different, but at the end of the day, we're both winners. To go against a winner, and I feel as if I dominated him, that speaks for itself. Finishing, I wish I could have. But I couldn't."
While Jones admits the killer instinct may have been lacking against Evans, he strongly feels that won't be the case when he steps into the Octagon opposite Vitor Belfort next weekend (Sept. 22, 2012). There's no mental block, no reason for him to hold anything back.
"Vitor is someone that I really don't know, and I think I'll have a better time going out there and feeling like I'm at war."
So what do you think about this, Maniacs?
Was Jones mentally holding back against Evans earlier this year? Will he be able to "unleash the beast" on Vitor Belfort next Saturday night in Toronto?
Sound off!

Bob at Theology, Technology, and Anything In Between blogs about using a cellphone PDA in church:
I recently forgot to bring my Bible to church, and then remembered that I could use the NET Bible and ESV, by surfing to their websites. I know people at our church who have Bible software for their Treo, so I thought I should try it.
It's not too bad. I like being able to access a different translation, especially one with translators notes, during a sermon. I helps to bring some perspective if there are different ways in which a word is being translated, or could be used.
Are we heading into a world where churches let you text the pastor your questions during a sermon? (At least a couple of churches already do.) We're not saying it's a good or bad thing, but it presents one possible direction in which the church is heading.
Oh, and we've mentioned the ESV Mobile site, haven't we?

Florida State Defeats Clemson to Claim ACC Atlantic Division
It wasn't the prettiest or sharpest game of the year with a combined 5 errors, 2 hit batsmen and 2 wild pitches but the Noles won 8-6 against the Tigers on Thursday night. Sean Gilmartin overcame a first inning homerun and 2 errors pitching 7+ innings striking out 6 and only walking 1. He was relieved by Brian Busch who gave up a couple hits and was pulled for Daniel Bennett who made things interesting loading the bases but eventually striking out Brad Miller on a 3-2 count. Bennett was much better in the 9th retiring Clemson in order ending the game and earning the crown for the Noles. Offensively Justin Gonzalez and James Ramsey combined for 5 RBI. Credit to the FSU offense as they seemed to counter with a run every time Clemson drew a little bit closer. This win puts Florida State in a very good spot to earn a national seed and 1 more win this weekend would almost guarantee it. I believe with this start tonight and Danny Hultzen having the weekend off Sean Gilmartin earned himself ACC Pitcher of the Year. Congrats to the entire Seminoles team.

Think you've got the inside scoop on the soon-to-be newest member of Britain's royal family? You can put your money where your mouth is.
Royal couple heads off to evening reception
Bride changes into second wedding dress
LONDON - Prince William and his new wife Kate arrived on Friday evening at Buckingham Palace for their evening reception, with the bride changing from her much-talked-about gown into a second Sarah Burton creation, a white strapless evening dress.
After a brief rest at the home of William's father Prince Charles, the newlyweds returned to the palace for a dinner with about 300 family and friends.
St. James's Palace said William's bride had changed into her second outfit of the day, a strapless white satin evening gown with a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist.
The newly titled Duchess of Cambridge was also wearing a white angora bolero cardigan, St James's Palace said.
Prince William was dressed in a dinner jacket with a black bow tie.
The couple were accompanied by Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
The Dukes of Cambridge will spend their first night as a married couple at Buckingham Palace.

What are Energy Drinks?Energy drinks are canned or bottled beverages sold in convenience stores, grocery stores, and bars and nightclubs (in mixed drinks). Most energy drinks are carbonated drinks that contain large amounts of caffeine and sugar with additional ingredients, such as B vitamins, amino acids (e.g. taurine), and herbal stimulants such as guarana.
Energy drinks are marketed primarily to people between the ages of 18 and 30 as a stimulant, which is why energy drinks have names that convey strength, power, and speed, and sexuality, such as:
- Red Bull Energy Drink
- Monster Energy Drink
- Full Throttle Energy Drink
- Amp Energy Drink
- XS Energy Drink
- Redline Energy Drink
- Rock Star Energy Drink
- Spark Energy Drink
History of Energy DrinksAlthough sales of energy drinks in the United States were $3.5 billion in 2005, according to Beverage Digest, the category was only recently created with the launch of the Red Bull Energy Drink.
Red Bull was created by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian who adapted the energy drink from a Thai beverage called Krating Daeng, a popular drink with rickshaw drivers in Thailand. The key ingredient in the Thai energy drink was taurine, an amino acid that was first discovered in bulls (this association is responsible for the Red Bull urban legend that the drink's active ingredient is bull urine or semen). Red Bull was introduced to Europe in 1987 and to the United States in 1997.
Energy Drinks Contain CaffeineRed Bull, one of the most popular energy drinks, contains nearly 80 mg of caffeine per can, about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of brewed coffee and twice the caffeine as a cup of tea. Other energy drinks contain several times this amount. The amount of caffeine in an energy drink isn't always indicated on the label, so it is difficult to gauge how much one is consuming.
Another problem with energy drinks is that unlike hot coffee or tea, which is sipped slowly, it's common for typical energy drink consumers to drink large amounts quickly.
Some people are sensitive to caffeine and experience anxiety, palpitations, irritability, difficulty sleeping, and indigestion with relatively small amounts. People with heart conditions should avoid large amounts of caffeine, because it is a stimulant.
The Combination of Ingredients in Energy Drinks Has Not Been StudiedOne of the biggest concerns is that we just don't know enough about the effect of the combination of ingredients in energy drinks. Many ingredients are believed to work synergistically with caffeine to boost its stimulant power.
For instance, one can of Red Bull contains 1000 mg of taurine. A German double-blind study compared a taurine and caffeine drink, a caffeine-only drink, and a placebo drink. Stroke volume--the volume of blood ejected with each beat of the heart--was increased only in the group taking the taurine-and-caffeine drink. Taurine appears to play an important role in muscle contraction (especially in the heart) and the nervous system.
Red Bull also contains 600 mg of glucuronolactone, a substance that is naturally found in the body. There is a lack of published information on the health effects of glucuronolactone supplementation in humans or on the safety of this combination.
Energy drinks contain sugar (although sugar-free energy drinks are now available), because it is a quick source of energy.
B vitamins are sometimes added to energy drinks in small amounts. It makes energy drinks appear healthy, although they probably contribute little. B vitamins are needed to convert food into energy.
Some energy drinks contain guarana, a South American herb that is an additional source of caffeine.
Energy Drinks Should Not Be Mixed With AlcoholRed Bull and vodka has become a popular mixed drink at bars because it has a reputation for reducing the depressant effects of alcohol (e.g. fatigue) while enhancing the "feel good" buzz. But while people may not feel impaired, their blood alcohol concentration is still high. People may consume larger amounts of alcohol as a result.
A study compared the effects of alcohol alone to an alcohol plus energy drink combination. Researchers found that the alcohol plus energy drink significantly reduced subjective alcohol-related symptoms such as headache, weakness, dry mouth, and impairment of motor coordination, even though breath alcohol concentration and objective tests of motor coordination and reaction time didn't reflect this.
The caffeine in energy drinks is also dehydrating, which may slow the body's ability to metabolize alcohol.
Energy Drinks Should Not Be Consumed During ExerciseEnergy drinks should not be confused with sports drinks such as Gatorade, which are consumed to help people stay hydrated during exercise. Sports drinks also provide carbohydrates in the form of sugar and electrolytes that may be lost through perspiration.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this 33cl bottle.
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of lemons, yeast and some biscuit malt. I also get a little bit of other fruit in the aroma, but I can't quite pick out what it is.
The flavor is more pronounced. I get some lemons and oranges, as well as some grass from the hops. There is a nice yeast flavor going on along with some biscuit malt and a little bit of white pepper and coriander. The alcohol is well hidden.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Another Saturday in the fall means one thing, college football! Baseball playoffs and EPL soccer too, but we'll keep it to college football I guess.
The noon matchups saw some impressive performances around the country......
- Michigan State's defense looked stout in beating rival Michigan 28-14. The Spartans have now won four straight games in the series for the first time since 1959-1962.
- Wisconsin, in beating Indiana 59-7, covered the biggest conference spread since USC v Stanford in 2005.
- Texas A&M broke free in what was a close game for awhile to beat Baylor 55-28. Someone will have to convince me that Robert Griffin III has a future in the NFL, because I don't see it.
- South Carolina won a tough battle in Starkville over Mississippi State 14-12. Marcus Lattimore left the game with an injury and was using a crutch to walk the sidelines.
- Temple notched its second consecutive shutout in beating Buffalo 34-0. Maybe the Big East should throw an invite their way.
- Penn State quietly moved to 6-1 in not very convincing fashion, beating Purdue 23-18.
Arizona State at Oregon, Virginia Tech at Wake Forest, Yale at Lafayette, and Kansas State at Texas Tech headline the late games.

The U.S. Department of Justice has extended a $499,984 grant to University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University to educate and train students, staff and law enforcement about sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking.
The three-year grant will allow Richmond to work alongside VCU to help prevent sexual violence and increase training for officials who deal with cases of sexual misconduct.
Both campuses have allocated part of the grant to hire a new staff member to help coordinate education, awareness and prevention efforts. Richmond's newly hired official will start working March 3.
"Everything that we need to do needs to focus on victims and three crimes: sexual assault, dating or domestic violence and stalking," said Dan Fabian, associate dean of Richmond College and Title IX deputy coordinator. "So [the new official's] time and energy will go to educating about those issues."
Part of the new official's job will be encouraging victims to report cases of sexual misconduct. Underreporting is one of the biggest problems college campuses face in dealing with sexual misconduct, Fabian said.
"We have a good three decades of national statistics when it comes to violence on college campuses," he said. "And they know 1 in 4 women will be a victim of violence, and 1 in 8 to 1 in 10 men will be a victim."
The National Victimization of College Women is a comprehensive study regarding sexual violence on college campuses that university officials refer to for research. Kerry Fankhauser, associate dean of Westhampton College and Title IX deputy coordinator, said the study indicated that Richmond should be seeing more reported instances.
"What it really showed us," Fankhauser said, "is that at a university our size we should anticipate somewhere around 35 to 50 rapes a year and somewhere around 100 to 150 sexual assaults. So we know we need our numbers to increase in every area."
Fabian said that since his role as associate dean undertook the Title IX duties in 2011, the number of reported cases has gradually increased. Fabian works alongside Fankhauser in dealing with reports of sexual misconduct and encouraging and educating students to report cases.
"Ever since [Fankhauser] and I have been put in this role, we've seen the number of reports go way up and that's a great thing because we know that it's always gone on," Fabian said. "So now we're responding to it. We had 64 reports in the first year, 82 in the second year and 37 so far this year."
The grant also aims to unify different offices and groups on campus that have interest in prevention efforts but currently work in isolation.
"We already have a mix of prevention, education and awareness efforts on campus, but they're all so spread out," Fankhauser said. "One of the major focuses of the hired coordinator will be to bring those together."
In drafting the proposal for the grant, Fabian and Fankhauser sought out different community members and officials to take part in the project. They organized a 70-person group that will meet quarterly to discuss efforts in the larger Richmond community.
"We've created a large community group which represents people like the chiefs of police in Henrico County and chief of police in the city of Richmond to see how we can educate the entire community around these issues and not just our campuses," Fabian said.
Within the working group, efforts will be divided between four subgroups to look specifically at law enforcement and sexual assault response teams, education and prevention, student services and an assessment group. The assessment group will work to develop campus climate surveys to gather data regarding sexual violence at both Richmond and VCU.
The University Police Department was enlisted during the proposal drafting to solicit community partners and help garner community support.
"Now largely our job will be managing the grant," said Beth Simonds, assistant chief of campus police, "and making sure that we're doing what we're supposed to with this grant."
Part of the funds will be allocated to train law enforcement officers who interact with victims and investigate sexual assault cases.
Fankhauser and Fabian will be leading the project at Richmond and will work with Tammi Slovinsky, sexual assault prevention coordinator at VCU.

Housing shortage has created 'generational shift' in debate
Nick Clegg will say that the shortage of homes for young people has created a "generational shift" in the debate, with people becoming more receptive to the idea of new developments which in the past would have been strongly resisted.
– Nick Clegg
The babyboomers of the fifties and sixties, people who were largely catered for by the massive housing expansion after the Second World War, are now watching their children struggle.
The plight of the next generation is making what was an abstract housing shortage increasingly tangible and real. And as we, as a society, become more open to development that creates the space for politicians to be bold.

Mechanisms of Longevity Regulation in Yeast
Principal Investigator: Valter Longo
Affiliation: University of Southern California
Country: USA
Abstract: Mutations in the Sch9 and Ras/cAMP signal transduction pathways, which promote reproduction in response to glucose/nutrients, activate multiple stress resistance systems and extend the life span of non-dividing yeast by up to three-fold. Sch9 is homologous to the C. elegans, Drosophila, and mammalian serine/threonine kinases Akt/PKB, which are also activated in response to glucose/nutrients and function in pathways that regulate reproduction and longevity. I propose that the modulation of analogous signal transduction pathways can increase resistance to damage and extend longevity in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals by shifting the investment of energy from growth and reproduction to multiple stress resistance systems. These mechanisms may have arisen early during evolution in order to minimize aging during periods of starvation. To test this hypothesis I propose to: 1) elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the regulation of longevity by the yeast Ras/cAMP and Sch9 pathways, focusing on known stress resistance genes and on yeast homologs of genes that function in the IGF-1/insulin signaling pathway in higher eukaryotes, 2) perform unbiased screens and study uncharacterized stress resistant mutants isolated in previous screens to identify novel genes that mediate longevity-regulation downstream of Ras/cAMP/Msn2/4 and Sch9, 3) characterize further the post-diauxic life span in wild type and long-lived mutants to understand the relationship between aging in yeast and in higher eukaryotes, 4) identify the distinct mechanisms that regulate the "chronological life span" (survival of non-dividing yeast) and "replicative life span" (budding potential). The combination of the short, high-metabolism post-diauxic life span with transposon mutagenesis provides a rapid method to identify the mediators of stress resistance and longevity extension. The identification and characterization of these mutations should contribute to the identification and understanding of putative dormant starvation-response pathways in mammals, which may be activated to protect cells against aging and age-related diseases without affecting normal functions.

Martin Heckelman's goal in publishing the Revised Edition of The New Guide to Skiing (buy direct) is "to help you reach a level of competence that enables you to safely ski every type of snow and slope that you may encounter." To a large extent, Heckelman's sequential photos and exercises do cover the gamut of conditions and terrain most skiers will encounter, and with an increasing level of confidence that he builds in the reader.
As the skier does the progressive exercises – all things could be possible. By "could be possible," I mean that I believe that there are very few people who could go from never having been on skis to steep and deep with only a book. That is to say that Martin Heckelman is, without a doubt, a competent and dedicated ski instructor and a sincere student of skiing dynamics, but new skiers need a live Martin Heckelman, or a good skiing partner to correct their errors as they do his exercises.
I highly recommend The New Guide to Skiing for anyone with a series of basic lessons under their belt, as well as for skiers who have some experience sliding, and can handle blue terrain with confidence in and out of the fall line. In fact, skiers of all abilities can refine their basic techniques, and pick up advanced tips by reviewing the perfectly executed and described exercises, as done by Heckelman himself in the photos.
All the techniques described will find no major argument from most resort PSIA schools. Credit has to be given to Martin Heckleman, who freely admits there is more than one way to successfully and confidently ski various conditions and terrain. For example, his section on bump skiing shows various lines available through a mogul field, and explains the degree of difficulty for each and how to change your style to ski each. He also advises the reader to ski to his/her ability and, although he explains skiing bumps with skis flat, he adds "...it best to leave flat-ski skiing to the bump competitors."
The exercises Heckelman describes and executes in the sequence of pictures are really helpful and if repeated until they become second nature will enhance every skiers ability to tackle all terrains.
Martin Heckelman is a private instructor operating in the French Alps. He has taught skiing for more than 30 years in the U.S., Europe and south America. He is also the producer of the Ski Tips series of instructional videos.

Carpenter on the mend
After bullpen session, righty on pace to start season
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Cardinals right-hander Chris Carpenter said he felt "pretty good" after throwing a bullpen session Friday afternoon at Auto Zone Park. He remains on pace to make his first regular-season start on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Busch Stadium.
Carpenter was scheduled to start Friday night's game against the team's Triple-A affiliate, the Memphis Redbirds, but was scratched earlier in the week after his left calf tightened up on him both during his previous start Sunday against Minnesota and more severely again during a Monday morning run.
"I still feel it a little bit," Carpenter said of the pain. "But I would say that if Monday or Tuesday was a 10 [in terms of pain], then today is a 0.5 compared to what it was."
Carpenter, whose well-documented injury troubles allowed him to make just four starts the past two seasons, was 2-1 with a 1.52 ERA in 23 2/3 innings this spring. He allowed all four of his earned runs in his final start in Fort Myers, Fla., and felt good enough to make the start Friday night, but was held back when the team decided it would be smarter to err on the side of caution.
"If I had to take my turn today, I would have," Carpenter said. "But I don't have to."
Carpenter, who will throw another bullpen session on Monday, is one of the Cardinals' biggest keys heading into the 2009 season. The 2005 National League Cy Young Award winner made just three starts in '08 for a team that won 86 games and missed out on a playoff spot by four games -- making the decision to hold him out of a meaningless exhibition game that much smarter.
"It would be a huge plus for us if he takes the ball regularly from now until Halloween," manager Tony La Russa said. "He's as good as anybody pitching in any starting rotation anywhere."

There is another new diet everyone is talking about. This one is "The Flat Belly Diet" from the editors of Prevention Magazine. The new diet consists of healthy eating with a dose of chocolate early in the day and a little monounsaturated fatty acid at every meal.
Some critics argue that it just isn't realistic to plan on losing pounds in a certain spot. Lisa Richardson, a registered dietitian, says, "What concerns me is the claim that when you lose weight that it will be specific to the abdominal area. I'm a little nervous about making that claim because I think a person's genetics, their hormone profile, sometimes their stress and sleep patterns can be determining their belly fat." Richardson adds that the diet is so strict; you might as well stay at home because it's almost impossible to dine out on this plan.

Every day and every way I get angrier and angrier at how the likes of Barroid Bonds and Sammy Steroids have tainted the game. While legitimate HR records are being approached by Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas, Jim Thome, and A-Rod, we have the daily watch of this cheating piece of human filth in San Francisco. The only thing making it worse is how the fans out there are drinking up the Kool-Aid (the Kool-Aid mascot has a smaller head than Barroid).
"He never failed a test!"
"You guys are chicken for not pitching to him"
"He should be sainted" (ok, I made that one up, but that's how it feels)
Until someone else, who is a legitimate ballplayer, comes along to break Hank Aaron's record, he is the record holder. Barroid not only disgraces himself every day, but Hammerin' Hank as well. Aaron was, and is, one of the classiest individuals to ever grace a uniform. His pursuit of Ruth's record and the racially motivated garbage that he had to put up with along way, truly makes him the all-time home run king.
I've said it before, but again I applaud him for not attending Barroid's games. Why should he taint his reputation by association with such a piece of human garbage. And the Giants fans are part of that garbage too. As well as anyone, and I mean anyone, who has tried to make this a racial issue (for that matter Barroid is a disgrace to the African-American community too).
There's no question that the dog and pony show surrounding Jason Giambi is an effort to somehow try to knock down Barroid. Only time is running out. He's only 6 away from tying Aaron.
Getting back to Sammy Steroids, who last week hit his 600th tainted home run. What was remarkable is how Sammy's ability to speak English came back! Amazing. I wonder if he went to a healer? That could be the only explanation for how he completely forgot how to speak English while in front of Congress. And that poof- it's back. What an amazing story.
Barroid, Sammy Steroids, Big steroid-filled Mac, Rafael Palmliar. The only hall they should go into is the Hall of Shame. You all disgust me- now go rot in baseball hell (Kansas City?).

To your post- who is to say Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas, Jin Thome, and A-Rod are any less guilty then Bonds? I am completely playing devil's advocate here as I utterly resent the man- but as he has never failed a steroids test, who is to say he is more to blame than any of the above. Granted, I dont find it in either Griffey or Thome's charactor, and A-Rod is a freak of Nature with a swing of gold- but you can't asteric what isnt proven...ReplyDelete

Here's an excerpt from the Texas Stars official website:
Three Texas Stars players have been nominated for October's CCM/AHL monthly awards: C Cody Eakin, G Jack Campbell and D Jamie Oleksiak. Eakin, nominated for CCM/AHL Player of the Month, leads the team in points, goals and assists and is tied for the league lead with two short-handed goals through the first month of play. Campbell, who kicked off the first month of his first full professional season with a 2-1 record, is nominated for the CCM/AHL Goaltender of the Month. A rookie defenseman, Oleksiak scored his first goal and recorded two assists in his first seven pro games to earn the nomination for CCM/AHL Rookie of the Month.
You can read more here on the Texas Stars site.
The AHL announced its award winners for the month of October today. The player of the month was Oklahoma City defenseman Justin Schultz. The goaltender of the month was Curtis McElhinney of the Springfield Falcons. The rookie of the month was Mikael Granlund of the Houston Aeros.

About six weeks in, and the report card for Summer 2011 isn't doing too badly: one instant near-classic in Paul Feig's "Bridesmaids," J.J. Abrams' mostly well-received "Super 8," a thoroughly decent animated sequel in "Kung-Fu Panda 2," two superhero entries that landed somewhere between better than expected ("Thor") and much better than expected ("X-Men: First Class") and a beguiling new Terrence Malick picture, plus a pair of excellent indies in the shape of "Beginners" and "Submarine." Sure there have been stinkers, like "The Hangover Part II" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," but overall the success rate is much higher than in the last few summers.
Fingers crossed, there's more good stuff on the way: our hopes are still high for "Horrible Bosses," "Captain America," "Friends With Benefits" and "Cowboys & Aliens" among others. But news has arrived that another film is setting its hat down in the summer, and it's one that we already know is brilliant: Screen Gems have announced that "Attack the Block," the low-budget alien invasion film that took SXSW and the U.K. by storm a few months ago, will begin its roll-out with a limited release on July 29th.
In case you've been living under a rock, the film marks the directorial debut of British comedian-turned-filmmaker Joe Cornish, who is Edgar Wright's writing partner on the upcoming "The Adventures of Tintin" and Marvel's "Ant-Man." The film tracks a group of South London kids from a council estate who, after mugging a neighbor, witness the crash-landing of an alien creature. They swiftly dispatch the invader, but it's only the start of a long long night, once that will see many casualties before it's over.
You can get the full lowdown from our SXSW review, but this writer can personally assure you that the film is exceptional, an immaculately executed homage to John Carpenter and '80s Spielberg, with a cast full of future stars, a killer score by Basement Jaxx, and more thrills-per-minute than films that cost fifty times as much. And it's got a social conscience as well! Watch the trailer again below for good measure.
Anyway, good news all round, and hopefully the marketing muscle of Screen Gems won't falter now that they have, you know, an actual good movie to release. The one open question is whether the film's urban slang, which some festival crowds have found problematic, has been softened with subtitles or dubbing, but we're sure we'll find out sooner rather than later. "Attack the Block" will go into limited release on July 29th and we strongly urge you to check it out then, so that the film can go as wide as possible as soon as possible. [Box Office Mojo]

It didn't do Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz numbers, but no one was expecting it to. It's made about £3 million, which by the 10% rule you usually apply to the UK box office, is roughly equivalent to a $30 million take in the U.S. It did fine.
brit | June 13, 2011 12:26 PM
Ermmm the film didn't really take the UK by storm. It flopped theatrically.

How can your hopes be anything higher than "low" for Friends With Benefits? Sorry, but it looks super lame.


text: (4-25-14) A five-hour standoff on Thursday resulted in three arrests after a passenger of a vehicle used a gun to threaten two people. Two Coloradans in town for job interviews were playing Frisbee in the Save Mart parking lot at 11th and Cornhusker when a 2005 gold Nissan parked in between them. Sgt. Jeri Roeder said the passenger, 19-year-old Anthony Parks, pulled a large, silver handgun out of a tan and plaid Gucci handbag, pointed it at the male victim's chest and said, "What are you looking at? Get back in your car and nobody gets hurt." The suspects in the Nissan drove off and the victims, uninjured, gave police the description and lisence plate number of the car. Police were able to trace the vehicle to a residence on N. 10th Street between Judson and Groveland. A Lancaster County canine team was called to the area as well as the SWAT team. The forces waited for hours to obtain a search warrant and, before they did, the two suspects surrendered and came out of the house. Parks was arrested for making terroristic threats and the driver, 20-year-old Javontae Timothy, was arrested for aiding and abetting terroristic threats. 21-year-old Keesha Hamilton was also arrested at the house for an unrelated warrant. No one was injured.
