Breast pain can be due to many possible causes. Most likely breast pain is from hormonal fluctuations from menstruation, pregnancy, puberty, menopause, and breastfeeding. Breast pain can also be associated with fibrocystic breast disease, but it is a very unusual symptom of breast cancer.

How to Grill Anything: 16 Surefire Recipes
This basic handbook to grilling guides you through cooking some of your favorite foods — from steaks and chicken to fruits and veggies — and highlights great, easy-to-implement tips as well as superb recipes to make sure you end up with perfectly grilled foods every time.
If you're looking for more ways to improve your grilling experience at home, check out our guide to great grills for every budget.
By Lauren Haslett
How to Grill Lamb
Lamb can be treated much like beef on the grill, but lamb is most often cooked to medium-rare. Aim to get your meat's internal temperature to about 130 to 135 degrees F. If cooking a larger cut, like a full rack of lamb or a butterflied, boneless leg, cook uncovered for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, then cover the lamb and continue grilling until cooked through about another 10 to 15 minutes for a 1- to 1 1/2-pound rack, or another 20 to 30 minutes for a 3- to 3 1/2-pound leg.

Troopers: Driver suffered medical condition prior to Greyhound bus crash
Updated On: Sep 23 2013 07:48:12 PM EDT
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said some sort of medical condition led to the crash of a Greyhound bus in Liberty Township.
Lt. Ed Mejia said that the driver, Dwayne Garrett, was drinking coffee when he suddenly began coughing violently and passed out.
Mejia said investigators still aren't certain why Garrett passed out.
As many as 35 of the 52 people on the bus were injured when it overturned on Interstate 75 and slid into a cornfield on Sept. 14.
Investigators have issued court orders to obtain Garrett's medical records to get more information.

School Admission Appeal Process
You have the right of appeal under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 against the refusal of a place at any of the schools which you listed on your application form.
An independent panel will hear your appeal and their decision is binding for both the Admission Authority and the school(s). The panel will be made up of people who have experience in education and lay members (people without personal experience of school management or the provision of education).
Timetable for Appeals for Starting Reception 2014
- 16 April 2014 - Notification letters sent
- 23 May 2014 - Deadline for appeal forms to be submitted
- Appeal hearings to be held in the summer term (April - June 2014)
Timetable for Appeals for Secondary Transfer 2014
- 3 March 2014 - Notification letters sent
- 4 April 2014 - Deadline for appeal forms to be submitted
- Appeal hearings to be held in the summer term (April - June 2014)
This timetable will continue to be updated as appeal dates are confirmed.
How to appeal
For community schools in Haringey or Alexandra Park/Heartlands High, please contact the School Admissions Team on 020 8489 1000 or download the relevant appeal pack from the attached files section below.
The form should be returned by post to:
- Admissions Service
48 Station Road
- or by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com
If you wish to appeal
- for Fortismere School, Woodside High, St Thomas More or Greig City Academy, please contact the schools direct
- for schools outside Haringey - please contact the local authority where the school is located
We strongly recommend that you accept the place you have been offered, as this will ensure that your child has a school place in September. Accepting the place will not influence the outcome of your appeal or your child's position on a waiting list.|Back to top
Key Stage 1 Infant Size Legislation
You should be aware that by law infant classes (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) with a single school teacher, where the majority of children will reach the age of 5, 6 or 7 during the school year, must not contain more than 30 pupils.
Where a child has been refused admission to a school on "Infant Class Size Prejudice" grounds, an appeal panel can only offer a place to a child where it is satisfied that either:
- the child would have been offered a place if the admission arrangements had been properly implemented; and/or
- the child would have been offered a place if the arrangements had not been contrary to mandatory provisions in the School Admissions Code and the School Standards and Framework Act (SSFA) 1998; and/or
- the decision to refuse admission was not one which a reasonable admission authority would have made in the circumstances of the case
The outcome of your appeal will not be influenced by the acceptance of a place at an alternative school.|back to top

NokyART : a few lines
You've obviously noticed that the smartphones are assuming an increasingly importance around us.
The forecasts are likely to predict that the Internet prefered acces way, will be the smartphone and not any more our
old fashion computer, as early as 2011 ...
However, as far as they are pretty heavily present on the web, painters and artists are strictly away from the smartphone world. NokyArt is there to fill this gap and turn the trend!
how ?
you have necessarily heard the slogan "there is an application for that" (advertising Apple) Well, NokyArt offers you an application on NOKIA and Android smartphones. And this application will offer you a top visibility on these smartphones.
How it works ?
The artists concerned with this concept, who want to be visible on smartphones, register on the NokyArt website, they provide a biography and a list of their works they want to exhibit (25 max) (everything is done online here)
The art lovers , and more generally all those who love beautiful things (and fans of Nokia and Android smartphones do!) will download the application on their smartphone and enjoy the artworks. They will put them as background images on their handset screen, talk around about them, have access to the artist's website ... (direct link to the application there )
Further explanations !
From the smartphone side, NokyArt is an application that allows the end user to:
-create and manage a "preferred artist" list, and for each of them
-browse a gallery and comment the artwork to the artist profit
-access a biography of the artist and his news flow
-access the official artist's website !
The most innovative aspect of the nokyArt application is its ability to scroll continuously on the handset homescreen, galleries of your prefered artists.
Another great feature is that no update is required when new artists join NokyArt or when new features are added, you just get them and enjoy.

In response to its employees' evaluations, trustees in the Coast Community College district have set goals and plans for to be completed by September 2015.
Goal #1: The Board will establish better communications with employees.
Goal #2: The Board will provide for discussion to address future needs and direction of the District.
Goal #3: The Board will work to improve communications and trust among Board members and with the Chancellor.
Goal #4: The Board will determine what can be done at the Board level to improve student success.
Goal #5: The Board will comply with ACCJC recommendations with regard to the review of Board policies and procedures.
Goal #6: The Board will review General Counsel Policy in order to find ways to save money on legal expenses.
Goal #7: The Board will request the Chancellor to lead a discussion of potential external funding sources during an upcoming study session.
Source: Coast Community College District
Trustees for the area's community colleges have decided on an action plan for improvement after a self-review revealed internal strife and differences between the board and its chancellor.
The Coast Community College District board voted 4-0-1, with Trustee Jim Moreno abstaining, on Wednesday night to adopt seven goals pertaining to the self-evaluation, which was made public last month. The self-review accompanied a scathing evaluation from employees in the district, with hundreds of critical comments attacking the board's management.
The board discussed these comments at a study session last month and developed the seven goals to address the issues raised in the self-evaluation. Along with the goals, the trustees set action plans to meet those goals by September of next year.
The self-review highlighted the sometimes hostile relationships between board members, which is often evident during board meetings and in interviews with trustees separately.
"The lack of trust and mutual respect among members creates problems for working as a team. When there is distrust and hostility coming from the board, it permeates the entire district," trustees wrote in the anonymous comment section of the self-evaluation.
Trustees decided the best way to improve communications and trust among board members and the Chancellor is by scheduling a retreat with a facilitator to focus on communications and trust among board members, according to the goals.
The self-evaluation and employee survey are part of an ongoing effort to restore the district's credibility in the eyes of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, which gave the district a warning in July after finding inefficiencies on the board and other issues at the college system's three campuses.
The warning could lead to a loss of the district's accreditation. The commission gave the district until March 2014 to make changes, such as reviewing its policies and bylaws on a more regular basis. At a special meeting last week, board president Lorraine Prinsky said the board is on schedule to complete its review of policies by December.
Another issue raised in the self-evaluation was the costs associated with the district's lawyer, Jack Lipton. Trustees have repeatedly said that although they believe he is "the best," there are probably some cost-cutting measures they could make associated with litigation. The board's solution to this concern is for an ad hoc committee to meet and report back to the Board with recommendations on revisions to the policy dealing with legal procedures. The board also vowed to work with the Chancellor to find ways to avoid litigation and reduce legal costs.
This goal was the subject of most of Wednesday's discussion, with Moreno stating that more needed to be done to evaluate and monitor the legal expenses. He was the only trustee to not approve the goals and plans.

Krissy Callahan's Tiny Dwellings…
I couldn't love this challenge more! Tiny dwellings are a small obsession of mine. They are my go-to doodle; my note books are full of tiny, boxy houses. I even have a tiny house design I screenprint in my studio, which was one of my inspirations for this submission. I've always wanted to finesse the look and make these houses into a row structure inspired by summer, city living with a bright palate on a tiny scale. Using my hand illustrations and Adobe Illustrator, I created my Block Party design. (And with the weather being such a champ these last few days here in Chicago, I feel a tiny block party coming on any minute!)
Inspired by this lovely weather (I am talking sunburns, people!) I created my other submission, Shoeville. When I thought, tiny dwelling, I wanted to go small, like super small, like Honey I Shrunk the Kids small. So I created this sibling team, Elliot and Elizabeth, who live in their humble, high-top abode and befriend their neighbors the ant, bee, ladybug and snail. When E & E aren't busy entertaining critters outside, they keep themselves occupied remodeling the kitchen (it's a little outdated) and with their booming shadow puppet business.
I hope you enjoy Block Party and Shoeville! And thanks, TPB! This was such a fun challenge.

Cyprus: 12 New Golf Courses
As part of its policy to upgrade the tourism industry and in its effort to make Cyprus a golf destination, the island's government is planning the development, via private investors who will layout heavy financial investments, of about 12 new golf courses. This coupled with the new Marina in Limassol as well as the two new airports in Larnaca and Paphos will provide much needed boost in this direction.
The golf courses are most likely to be constructed at Aphrodite Hills, Secret Valley (there are already two golf courses at Aphrodite Hills and Secret Valley), two at Limni in the Polis area, Phasouri area in Limassol and Tersephanou in the Larnaca area.

The young inventor created a device that could predict the future within one tenth of a percent of accuracy.
"Device," he said. "Tell me the winner of this Saturday's football game with Tech."
"State wins," the device said. "A man will pour beer onto his jeans."
He thought of his girlfriend. "Tell me, will I marry Anne?"
"No," the device said. "Anne will move to Missouri. You will find a similarly adequate mate. The colors
associated with your wedding will be sea green and ivory."
The young inventor had been with his girlfriend for ten years. He felt the surprise with the composure of a scientist and knew that there was no use in arguing. He adjusted a knob on the device.
"Sea green and ivory," the device said. The voice modulation sounded flat and bored, and the scientist made a note to swap out the vocalization for something a little more upbeat, perhaps accompanied by music.
"What will my eventual mate be like?" he asked, while making an adjustment to the machine's color wheel.
"Skin, hair." The device buzzed slightly. "Fingernails."
"Not too much specificity there."
The device stopped buzzing. "Grass and milk."
"Will she be interested in science?"
Some process caused a turning-over in the internal works of the device.
The inventor tapped the panel. "Will we be happy?" he asked. He could hear the whirring material. "Device, will we be happy?"
The device was silent. After a while, the young inventor packed his things, took his lunch bag from the refrigerator and left.
The empty room had its own energy. "Algae and bone," said the device.

The Woman in Black May 31, 2012Posted by oldboy in : Cinema, Horror , 1 comment so far
It's nice to see 'Hammer' films back again. It's a strong comeback here with Daniel Radcliffe leading the picture.
Gone are the dramatic scores and long reveals of Ghosts. The tone of this Hammer feature has changed to keep up with today's Horror films, taking ques from the most recent offerings of America and Asia. But unlike the silent terror lurking the shadows that may or may not be real in those country's offerings here we have an out and out ghost film. There is less left to the imagination as to the authenticity of the Ghost as we are shown it fairly early on in the picture even at times unknown to Radcliffe's character, Mr. Kipps.
The woman in black herself IS quite creepy and she's not a chick i'd be interested in messing around with. I found it almost unbelievable how calm Mr. Kipps could be around this pissed off Ghost who likes to get in people's faces or how he can so nonchalance dig around in the mud with his hands for dead bodies in the dark of the night. I think part of the audience's fear comes from what the character if experiencing onscreen.
The somewhat unfortunate thing is that the most frequent scares in the film are from sudden happenings throughout, such as a slammed door, or bird flying out of the fireplace. These scenes take the emphasis away from the scare factor of the Woman in black and puts it on shock horror moments that try to make you scream in fright rather than feel prolonged fear. I'm more of a prolonged fear type of guy.
As for Mr. Kipps resolution to he Woman in Back, I can say, "nice try". It seems to be the most likely solution to the problem with most Ghosts in these movies. Find out what pissed them off and then fix it. Why not try grabbing a priest and doing some sacraments too.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles Forever May 30, 2012Posted by oldboy in : Animation, DVD/Video/T.V., Comic Book , add a comment
If you are any sort of Turtles fan then you gotta see this. I got into the original show "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" back in the late 80s after watching it at a Cousins house. Of course it became a massive hit and was the next big thing after "The Real Ghostbusters" for me. Trying to get all the Hero (Ninja) Turtles action figures for christmas was difficult as it was that years big toy seller. Who doesn't remember people going around shouting Cowabunga! This was the age of dumb teenage slang and we were getting a healthy feed of it from this and the likes of 'Bill & Ted', 'Waynes World' etc. Hero Turtles introduced young kids to skateboards, pizza and Ninjas with the educational side of the show teaching us about great Italian painters. Their names at least…. As usual some parents groups complained the show was too violent and a bad influence on kids. I didn't think so even though I did get in serious trouble for giving a karate kick to someones eye.
I started to eat more pizzas although I wasn't big on Pizzas at the time. My Aunt used to always make a massive Pizza for me which was almost half a meter long. I always appreciated that but there was always still some of it left over in the freezer by the time she made the next one and you know what, she'd still do it today if I were closer to Home.
I was thinking today how the show had an influence on me even now. I was not wholly conscious till now that I actually possess most of the weapons the turtles had, all except for Raphael's sais.
The animation itself was based on a comic book series and the popularity of the animation spawned three live action movies, a CGI movie and numerous other animated and live action series from America and Japan.
'Turtles Forever' is quite fun to watch as it brings together the universe of the original animated Turtles with the newer darker animated series of recent years showing the contrasts between both. It is big on adventure and fun but does take the micky out of the earlier animated series, there is a fantastic homage to the original comics and nods to every single interpretation of the franchise to date.
If you have or had any interest in Turtles throughout your life this would be worth seeing at least once.

Men in Black III May 25, 2012Posted by oldboy in : Cinema, Science Fiction, Time Travel , add a comment
Why did I see this… Maybe a hope for a better film than II was which was a mess. Maybe because Josh Brolin is in it and might bring something new to this movie. Maybe because of the time travel aspects since I'm a sucker for Time Travel stories. It is better than II, not as original as the first. Mildly entertaining and passes the time. It's an ok film, the production values and Will Smith make it better. I was never really eager to see a sequel made the first time round and it's one of those movie series where I just wonder who did want a sequel to this?
Agent K is erased from the present day time by an evil Alien named Boris who goes back in time to kill him. Agent J is the only one to notice the fracture in the timeline and starts drinking chocolate milk (don't get it). So in order to save the world he must travel back in time to save K and the world from Boris who is just another two dimensional villain along with all the other Men in Black Villains.
There are a few laughs but nothing that's laugh out loud. The Aliens in New York joke has been done in the previous movies so they go back to the 1960s to milk that era. There's a bit of set up where Agent J is warned about the racial prejudices in the 60s, fortunately they only do one gag on this. It's something that has been done to death in other movies but I didn't see the reason to point it out before agent J time jumps back to the 60s. Why not just show the gag by itself without the history lesson?
I liked the Alien's style of the 1960's New York looking more like cheap looking "man in a suit" Alien costumes from Sci-Fi shows of that era instead of the usual CGI creations. Nice touch.
Josh Brolin is very good as a young Agent K sounding very much like Tommy Lee Jones and at times like George Bush. I wonder if there is a future sequel will they try to work the younger K into it as it seemed to me that Tommy Lee Jones's character was being replaced by the younger self. Jones is getting visibly older and might not be so interested in running around chasing Aliens anymore. Just starring as one in coffee commercials….
There's an Alien Character in this movie that helps J and K. This Alien can see the many possible outcomes of future events, which sounds like a pretty interesting concept for a stand alone movie. I found it unnecessary though to add a character that could predict future events when we already have J who traveled from the future with foreknowledge of the past and the two possible futures. The ones with and without K. Which made the precognitive Alien rather pointless here.
The ending is predictable to say the very least and there is a point where you pretty much know what will happen to a certain character. The big finale at the Apollo 11 launch site reminded me of 'Star Trek Generations' finale with Kirk, Soran and Picard. Seriously. The Rocket is there. There's the object that they are fighting over that is key to the Rocket launch, there's the countdown. Very similar.
This is also the 3rd time I have seen Apollo 11 be used as a plot point. It was used in 'Transformers 3′ it was used in 'Doctor Who Series 6′ and it's used here again.
And sorry but I can't look at those one wheeled bikes without thinking of that South Park episode that features them….

Star Trek Enterprise Season 3 May 23, 2012Posted by oldboy in : DVD/Video/T.V., Science Fiction, Time Travel , add a comment
Earth is attacked by an unknown Alien race. Earth's best Starship 'Enterprise' is sent on a mission to find who did it and stop a second attack from destroying their entire planet.
We've seen this before. 'Space Battleship Yamato' and also 'Crusade'. Having watched all 3 sci-fi shows doing the same kind of storyline it's interesting to compare each. While 'Crusade' never got the chance to complete it's storyline before being cancelled it did show a ship called "Excalibur" with a giant beam canon like the Yamato on a mission to find a cure to a virus that would kill everyone on Earth in five years. The Yamato had a year to save Earth too from Asteroids and Radiation. Both Enterprise and Yamato faced similar difficulties towards the end of their missions with each ship getting the snot beat out of them.
Season 3 starts off with a rather crappy episode demonstrating the weirdness of the Expanse as a Bermuda triangle type of place. Scott Bakula hams it up by making Archer a complete dick who walks around impatient and angry which seems too sudden and early a transformation. The Macos are, well, a bunch of background actors who display some stunts and military action which looks awfully staged which I find became a problem with later Star Trek series such as Voyager and Enterprise. A fight no longer looks like a fight but a demonstration.
This is the season where the Nick Name 'Airlock Archer' cropped up when the once good natured Captain Archer almost kills someone to get information. Again I feel it's the character going over the top and changing too quickly. We've seen Captain Painway do something like this in Voyager which I equally didn't like. It might be because the writers only know how to write one type of character "angry male". Janeway is a bit of a lost argument, when female producer Jeri Taylor left Voyager so did the female aspect of Janeway.
In a later episode of Season 3 'Choosen Realm' which is about Suicide bombers taking over the Enterprise, the leader of the group calls Archer out on him almost Airlocking someone. Archer replies that the man wasn't hurt. Wasn't Hurt? He almost suffocated a man. Is water boarding ok also because it "doesn't hurt"? How about the psychological damage done?
There's a line in the Vulcan Zombie episode 'Impulse' that I really like and it's said by Archer. ""I can't try to save Humanity without holding on to what makes me Human.". It's a nice line and I think one that Star Trek in general tries to uphold, however in Season 3 it's just words. I don't believe Archer's actions match his beliefs anymore. Either he is lying to others or to himself. I'm not arguing that he isn't in the most difficult position in the world but I feel in a way the Morals of Star Trek lost this time.
T'pol reminds Archer of what he said in the episode 'Damage', an episode where I feel Star Trek had the biggest failing in morals. Archer attacks a non hostile vessel to steal Warp Coils. It's a great episode actually but it didn't sit with me well.
In May 2004 Scott Bakula did a live online chat with fans on Startrek.com and by luck my question to him on this very issue got through.
What did you think of Archer's actions in "Damage"? Do you think the ends justify the means? What would you have done in his situation?
SB: I think that it was a challenging, complicated episode and I think any episode of television that can stir a response that's emotional and controversial is good television. I can't answer really what I would have done if it were me, because I don't think you can answer those questions hypothetically. You have to be in the moment and living with that reality and only then are you able to look into your own heart and make those kinds of choices. But I don't think Archer had any choice.
I couldn't agree more. I think it's one of those situations where you can't really say what you will do until you are face to face with the reality of it. It is a bit of a Kobayashi Maru. If he didn't attack that ship there was a strong possibility Earth would be destroyed.
While I have problems with the episode in regards to Star Trek's philosophy overall I still like that it raised a very good and debatable question and it's probably one of my favorite episodes of the series.
The last 7 episodes of the Season 3 Arc are of movie like quality in terms of story, acting and special effects. It's a roller coaster ride to the end and I liked how it all finally came together. I liked seeing the relationship between Archer and Degra grow to one of mutual respect. I liked that the Xindi council was no longer a cliche. I liked that the Spheres added a deeper mystery to the overall story and that they tied the Sphere Builders into the Temporal Cold War. It might have all come a bit too late though.
What I didn't like was T'pol becoming a crack whore. Taking drugs and sleeping with Trip to explore sexuality. I remember reading once that J. Michael Straczynski
was asked to include a character of a similar nature in his short lived series 'Crusade' but he refused to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the audience. I think that's where many Star Trek fans feel pissed off with this series, it had more obvious low brow scenes to attract a younger male audience by showing women in a degrading light.
The most useless changes to season 3 was renaming the series 'Star Trek: Enterprise' and give the opening theme tune a faster tempo making it sound like a corny karaoke song. Minor details like this would not attract more fans.
As for the time travel well nothing seems to get resolved this season either. Scott Bakula had mentioned that he had heard that they might deal with this after season 3 but that never happened. The Sphere Builders seem to exist outside of time and are able to monitor different timelines which seems to mean the alterations of one timeline. The Sphere's themselves might be something that exist outside of time, a bit like Gallifrey. The Xindi have said the Spheres were around for thousands of years but it that were the case why are they so slow to transform the expanse. It seems they have been there a long time and also not there so long. Daniels the useless time traveller tells Archer that effects of the Xindi attack haven't yet reached his time in the 31st century. Usually changes in the timeline are instant. Take 'Shockwave' for example.
Ignoring these nitpicks Season 3 aint so bad. Having a long season Arc on Star Trek was never done before. They had previously wanted to do a Year of Hell Arc on Voyager but the network put the kibosh on that. But when Enterprise was on the air shows like '24′ were extremely popular so a lot of season 3 has that format. This was Enterprise's year of Hell. While I dislike having the new kewl alien race Xindi the overall Arc has a large scale story that is rare to see in this franchise. It makes each episode necessary to see.

Enterprise Season 2 May 16, 2012Posted by oldboy in : DVD/Video/T.V., Science Fiction, Time Travel , add a comment
Season 2 starts with a rather lazy and unimaginative way of concluding part 1 of Shockwave and Enterprise continuing it's mission of the week episodes just as Voyager and The Next Gen did. The unhealthy trend of rehashing old stories. In previous interviews with writers and producers of 'Star Trek the Next Generation' it seems that they were trigger happy on shooting down ideas pitched if they were already done on Star Trek and one of the reasons for ending on season 7 of TNG was partly because of running out of good stories for that particular format. Yet in Enterprise all this seems irrelevant. Rehashed stories include (Vanishing Point, Precious Cargo, Dawn and Judgement. Lets not forget the Borg (face palm). Deary me. Did the producers really expect people would keep watching the same thing over and over again?
We did get some really good Star Trek episodes with Stigma, Future Tense, The Breach and Cogenitor showing that the series can be good when it was allowed to be.
We finally get to see 22nd Century Romulans, with cloaks (face double palm). Everyone was pretty excited about the Romulans and what it could mean for the series. Even the producers had hinted at more episodes later in the season 2. Instead we got Borg and Xindi. The Romulan's introduction was clearly a way to capitalize on the Movie Nemesis which feature Romulans also and was released in 2002.
Speaking of the Romulan episode 'Minefield' Reed has become a bit of a tight arse complaining about the captain fraternizing with the crew because he invited Reed to breakfast, yet in season 1 Reed had no problems having some beer and Cake with Trip and Archer.
As for the Borg, it's continuity error free. But if Archer can check past instances of Cybernetic Zombies then why can't Picard have done so too? Perhaps finding a log by Captain Archer about this race invading his ship. Or maybe Picard would have brushed it off as ole drunkard Johnny and his stories.
Season 2 ended with an Attack on Earth. Yes, Romulans! I thought. But no, instead it was another new kewl alien species we never heard of in the previous 600 episodes of Star Trek that take place after 'Enterprise'. The ratings of Season 2 weren't great and nearing the end of the season the Enterprise had to turn around towards Earth a few times to get her closer to home. The producers were obviously planning this mid way through season 2. The Xindi attack on Earth itself left me with a bad feeling. The impression a lot of people had was that the producers were trying to do the 9/11 attacks in Star Trek. 7 million people get killed in the Xindi attack and the episode poorly attempts to show the shock of the crew towards this event. Coming a little over 2 years after 9/11, this episode didn't sit right with me. I felt it didn't belong in Star Trek. The whole terrorist/shocking event angle was done in DS9. But here they decide to show an attack on Earth and have the crew go gun ho after the people who did it. This really was the George Bush of Star Treks. The show was in trouble and this was the producers solution, to radically change the mission of 'Enterprise' from one of peaceful exploration to one of revenge. You can argue that the plot is to stop a second attack on Earth but the general attitude of the characters was how big a hole they could blow in the Xindi. Unfortunately this means that Archer would start to become a bit of a dick starting here where he shouts "Go to hell!" to the klingons as if he were a grumpy old drunk man.
As problematic as season 1 and 2 was season 3 was to be the decisive season of the franchise that would radically change Star Trek and the future of the franchise.

The Avengers May 6, 2012Posted by oldboy in : Cinema, Comic Book , add a comment
Starting back in 2008 with 'Iron Man', 'The Avengers' have finally assembled. 'Iron Man', 'Hulk', 'Thor' and 'Captain America' get to bounce off each other to comedic and dramatic effect which is a heck of a lot of fun to see and what we have all waited long for.
It takes a while to get going as each hero is introduced and rounded up before the proverbial poop hits the fan and they all head to New York to fight off invading Aliens while leveling the city in the process. I feel it's missing something though. A bit of heart and soul, it's some yummy action but I felt like the meal was better than the conversation if you catch my spliff. With some of these Marvel movies you kinda feel the whole thing is a process to get to this point and when we get to this film it sort of feels like a process also of one thing leading to another to bring us to the goods at the end. The characters get familiar with each other a bit too quickly. Visually the movie looks very pretty, the heroes fighting side by side is some nice eye candy and fortunately for once the action is clear and visible unlike Bay's Transformers which was too fast and close to the screen.
I really enjoyed Hulk Vs Thor which brought back memories of Hulk Vs Thor in the incredible Hulk TV series. I think one of the reasons Hulk became the favorite Character of the movie is that he is shown in a more heroic light for once rather than the monster alter ego of a mild manner scientist. In his previous movies he has been shown as a villain to that Banner has tried to rid himself off. It's a shame we don't see Edward Norton return to the role and play of Robert Downey Jr. but Mark Ruffalo does a nice job and I think for a movie like this where Hulk is the hero he doesn't need to enlarge his character.
I was disappointed that Loki is the main Villain here as I find the character to be weak and not villainous enough. The generic alien invasion force weren't all too profound either and it seems like future sequels might deal with more invading aliens which I think was already well covered in this movie.
DC comics. Where is your Justice League Movie?!? While I really enjoy Nolan's Batman movies the one good thing about his trilogy ending is that it opens up the possibility of doing a DC movie with Multiple Heroes. It would be great if we had a Batman and Superman movie first followed by a Justice League movie. But they need to get their asses into gear and work on bringing character's such as 'The Flash' to the Big Screen.
It is pretty amazing that Marvel were able to pull this movie off and get these characters and actors together in one film. Hats off to them. I don't know where they could go for the sequel as it will have to be on a larger scale. I find it hard to even imagine these characters going back to their own series of films. I'd love to see more Marvel Characters feature in a sequel. Spider-man is out so far, maybe Daredevil? I'd like to see more well know characters added. Scarlett Johansson is nice as black widow (don't like the shorter hair) but she isn't a superhero that can match the rest of the cast.

The Cabin in the Woods May 4, 2012Posted by oldboy in : Cinema, Horror, J-Horror , add a comment
While at the cinema one night to watch a movie the trailer for this came on. It looked terrible. Another teenage horror movie. It looked so bad I couldn't even be bothered to look at the screen. "Oh &$%* off" I whispered as I waited for it to end. I wouldn't waste my life on this trash.
Then I start hearing reviews that it might not be so bad after all and that there are some nice twists in the film that anyone who enjoys Horror movies would like. Horror is not my favorite Genre, in particular American Teenage Horror. So I went to see it with an open mind and from the opening scenes I was enjoying it. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not that scary and thankfully it's not a parody. What it does is give it's own explanation for all those Horror movies we've seen before and pays a homage to them. If you like Old School Horror Movies then this might be for you. In fact I had an urge to watch some 'Halloween' and 'Friday the 13th' movies after seeing this.
Some people in the cinema seemed baffled at all that was going on and didn't quite get it, but for myself it was one of those movies that put a smile on my face and I really laughed when at one stage they talk about what's happening in Japan and show that Japan is having it's own horror problems. I love J-Horror so that was a scene I totally loved. I wouldn't mind seeing a Prequel doing a story from Japan's side.

text: Throughout May, take a tour focused on Manitoba's home-grown flying heritage at the Western Canada Aviation Museum. The myriad rivers of the north and the vast frozen plains of the south challenged early explorers and settlers of Manitoba. Bush planes – which first appeared in Manitoba skies in 1920 – provided a gateway to the vast northern resources of our province and today form the backbone of the modern industry. The challenge of adapting the fair-weather bush planes of the 1920s and '30s to our extreme climate launched many Manitobans to hero status, among them Punch Dickins and Wop May. Manitoba inventors and engineers made countless breakthroughs, from cold weather flying technology to Canada's first helicopter, and advances in satellites and rocketry. Tours are free with paid admission. Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday at 2:00 p.m. For more information, visit Western Canada Aviation Museum.

Natural Skin Care For Your Hair
Why should you use an organic shampoo? The same reasons you use other natural skin care products. I think it's even more critical to choose a natural shampoo because the soap runs down your face and into your eyes.
Dry Brushing For Natural Skin Health
Have you ever heard of dry brushing? It's a centuries old practice of massaging and exfoliating the skin to improve its health and appearance. Your largest organ regenerates itself by eliminating toxic and dead skin cells. Your skin can eliminate as much as two pounds of this waste material each day.
Hydrosols: Flower Power
Aromatherapy is a tree with many branches — hydrosols being one of them. The term hydrosol is a combination of hydro (water) and sol (solution) — a natural water solution. When essential oils are distilled from plants, hydrosols are the byproduct of the process. Hydrosols cannot be manufactured synthetically.
Hydrosol and Natural Skin Care
So I'm still investigating hydrosols. I've always known about the power of herbs, but I never knew flowers had healing properties as well. I'm really amazed at the practical and medicinal uses for flowers. They're not just ornamental.

9th May, 1929
(Due to arrive Canberra 8.6.29)
My dear P.M.,
I have been submerged this week by Mawson's impending departure today. [1] He is handing over a great mass of unfinished jobs to me, which will take a big proportion of my time for the next month at least. I have to get the aeroplane, negotiate the Charter Party, British and European press rights, fix the insurance and arrange for the installation of the wireless and echosounding gear. J. K. Davis [2] is to be fully occupied on other jobs and will not touch the above. So if my mails to you are light, it will not mean that I have been immersed in the fleshpots of the Season.
I gave a lunch yesterday for Wiikins [3], at which I had representatives of all departments, as well as the press and a number of prominent Australians in London. I hope it will result in his getting reasonably good contributions from some of the old gentlemen present. I had Stefansson [4] there, who was able to give Wilkins a much better and more disinterested 'boost' than I was in a position to do. He and Wilkins (having mutually saved each other's lives on various unpleasant occasions) are the only two polar workers that I have met who have remained friends.
Mawson still leaves no stone unturned to deprecate and decry Wilkins in the most unpleasant and childish way. He started it with me until I told him that, whatever his deficiencies, Wilkins was a friend of mine and that, as regards his work, it appeared to me that he deserved great consideration in view of his Arctic flight and his Graham Land effort-leaving out his previous record.
I enclose copy of a book of speeches of Lord Birkenhead's [5], which it may interest you to look through. They are selected from his serious efforts and would have been lightened by a few of his after dinner performances. But they are all delightful to read, which makes them an exception to Disraeli's dictum that 'if a speech reads well, it is unlikely to have been a good speech'.
I send in another letter a most secret C.I.D. document on the Defence of India, which I have been allowed to send you personally (and presumably at your discretion to be seen by the Defence Minister [6] and C.G.S. [7]), but which is not going to other Dominions.
I enclose letter from Amery [8] to the 'Times' (8th May), urging a more extended use of Empire timbers. In a house that I am just about to build in Westminster, I am having jarrah parquet floors and panelling and doors of Australian woods.
My wife insists that I send you an unsolicited testimonial in the form of a letter to her from Allen Leeper's [9] wife.
I am, Yours sincerely, R.G. CASEY
