10 Movies To Watch After You've Seen 'The World's End'
Features By Christopher Campbell on August 24, 2013 | Comments (1)It's pretty clear that Edgar Wright and his sometime co-writer/star Simon Pegg are movie junkies. Their series Spaced was all about allusions to their TV and film favorites, while the first two installments of the "Cornetto trilogy," Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, were tributes to zombie and action flicks, respectively. With The World's End, the homage and referencing continues. Even though the message of the movie is to move forward not backward, and even though it's apparently a veiled criticism of Hollywood's own nostalgic impulses, it's okay for a movie this clever to have its influences and predecessors as long as the acknowledgment is through nods to the past works rather than a recycling or cloning of them. One key difference between what Wright does and what the remake/reboot machine does is he provides a gateway to older movies and the machine creates a substitution, a replacement. As a true movie lover, Wright is known for hosting programs of beloved classics and cult classics, usually in hopes of introducing his fans to stuff they've never seen. He also likes to name other films that have informed his work and are worth checking out either prior to or after seeing his movies. The following list is not all selections that he has credited nor that he would necessarily endorse. It's a combination of some of his picks (found mentioned elsewhere) and some of my own, some obvious and some not, some great and some just worth a look for […]
Review: 'Jack the Giant Slayer' is a Gigantic Meh
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on February 28, 2013 | Be the First To CommentJack the Giant Slayer is like an expensive remake of The Brothers Grimm, except more pricey and less interesting. Director Bryan Singer has always been a reliable director, but as is sometimes the case with Terry Gilliam the audience for his latest work seems unclear. It's too goofy for most adults, not energetic enough for kids and instead exists as a tonally bizarre, lethargically paced oddity. It does manage the occasional moments of light-hearted entertainment, but they're few and far between resulting in a strange and surprising misfire since on paper Jack's journey sounds like a sure thing of a popcorn movie.
Bilbo Baggins to Journey With Nick Frost and Simon Pegg to 'The World's End'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on September 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWe've been hearing about Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's next film together as co-writers for a while. A mashup between the concepts of the pub crawl and the apocalypse, The World's End has been said to be the third film in an informal trilogy that started with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Other than Wright directing and co-writing the film with Pegg, we've also known from the start that Pegg was set to re-team with Nick Frost as its stars. But, seeing as the film's synopsis says that it's about five friends in their forties trying to recreate an epic pub crawl they completed when they were younger, there's always been a question of who else was going to be joining the cast. Well, a press release put out by Universal today not only confirms a couple names that have been floating around for a while, it also adds two more to the mix.
Review: Overly Idealized 'War Horse' Hits With Heavy, Uninspired Hand
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on December 23, 2011 | Comments (11)War Horse is a sprawling war epic that's so old-fashioned it belongs in a museum. Not only has director Steven Spielberg painstakingly recreated the look and feel of a classical picture of this scope, imbued with a heavy dose of mid-century British formalism, he's essentially made a carbon copy of a David Lean movie. Such a nostalgic enterprise would be welcome if it told a story worth telling, with the strong, determined characters and bold cinematic brushstrokes of a Lean picture. Spielberg's film does nothing of the sort — it's a stodgy, ridiculous movie with a horse that simultaneously serves as an allegory for the bond that unites all mankind and a symbol of profound, idealized purity.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 16, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on December 16, 2011 | Comments (3)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr goes rogue and infiltrates his local IMAX theater. First, he scales the wall of the plus-sized building and slides in undetected through the air vents. He slowly lowers himself into a theater seat to enjoy an early screening of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Unfortunately, he finds himself in the middle of a wild crowd of six-year-old kids for the early screening of the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. To deal with the psychological damage, Kevin then stumbles into the Sherlock Holmes sequel and later finds an extra seat in Young Adult, where he can imagine that his chubby caboose could land a hottie like Charlize Theron.
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum: Trailer for 'Jack the Giant Killer' Sprouts Up
Movie News By Kate Erbland on December 16, 2011 | Comments (1)Did you not already get your fill of the Jack and the Beanstalk myth from this year's Puss in Boots? Good, because Bryan Singer has his own (live-action) take on the tale, and the results look to be similarly cartoonish. Listen, you try to make magic beans look menacing while also crafting a giant goddamn beanstalk that pops up out of the ground without it looking totally bizarre and silly, okay? Oh, you did already? Oh. Oh, that looks nice! While there was a fair bit of buzz around Singer's Jack the Giant Killer before the film blossomed into existence (see what I did there?) mainly regarding Singer talking about the project for over two years, casting rumors as to who would be starring as the titular Jack (Aaron Johnson and Andrew Garfield were both talked about before the role went to another superhero kiddo, X-Men: First Class's Nicholas Hoult), and a delay that pushed the film back almost a year, news on the project has been surprisingly scarce since it started filming earlier this year. So what's the finished result of the classic tale reimagined going to look like? Well, if you believe this trailer, a bit like a cross between Puss and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Check out the first trailer for Jack the Giant Killer, complete with its own big-eyed orange kitty (seriously), after the break.
Review: Bleak 'Tyrannosaur' Uplifted by Powerful Performances
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on November 21, 2011 | Comments (7)The bleak, grey world of Tyrannosaur will be familiar to anyone who's spent time in the cinematic universe of British miserablism, that subgenre of grim movies set on the isles. Protagonist Joseph (Peter Mullan) inhabits a milieu of depressed flats and rundown pubs, living a hopeless existence on the estate in Leeds. Yet, the movie is the feature filmmaking debut of the terrific character actor Paddy Considine, who is not content to simply wallow in the misery. The director transforms what, at first appears to be the straightforward portrait of a violent man, into an affecting love story that chronicles his subtle redemption. In doing as such, the filmmaker has given an exceptional vehicle to Mullan and Olivia Colman, who plays a shopkeeper named Hannah. Considine's characters are not simply defined by first impressions and easy conclusions; instead, they're afforded the opportunity to grow and change, to reveal the reservoirs of experience, the unexpected strengths and profound, hidden weaknesses that collectively define their lives.
Finally, a U.S. Trailer for 'London Boulevard'
Movie News By Jack Giroux on October 18, 2011 | Comments (4)Almost a year ago we got our first glimpse of William Monahan's (the writer behind The Departed and Kingdom of Heaven) directorial debut, London Boulevard, but it's unfortunately taken a while for it to open in the states. Originally the film was going to be released by FilmDistrict, then not too long ago IFC took over distribution. While the British gangster pic wasn't greeted with the best response, I happen to like Monahan's debut a whole lot. This trailer, which is fairly similar to the U.K. one, is well representative. It sells the slickness and cool factor just right, where the film works best. The film isn't as grand or as epic as The Departed, but it's a smooth and clever directorial about a gangster trying not to be a gangster. And, yes, Ray Winstone is as fun as he looks in this trailer.
IFC Films Will Release the Very Cool and Very British 'London Boulevard'
Movie News By Jack Giroux on August 27, 2011 | Comments (2)William Monahan's directorial debut, London Boulevard, has been sitting on the shelf for some time now. The gangster pic got released in the U.K. last November, but we have seen no official press materials stateside. FilmDistrict was originally going to distribute the film for us American folk, but that no longer seems to be the case. IFC Films has swung in and picked up the U.S. distribution rights. With the talent involved, it could very well be their first investment to earn more than ten dollars. Considering they are a company that takes admirable chances, good for them. They will be giving Monahan's film their usual indie treatment. First, it'll premiere on VOD (October 5th), then later on hit limited release (November 14th). One would think a movie starring Colin Farrell would get a wider release than this, but the strategy makes sense. London Boulevard is not the most commercial film, and it's far from a critical darling. The movie was ripped to shreds by critics in the U.K., and it'll probably be received the same way here.
Review: The Disappearance of Alice Creed
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on August 7, 2010 | Comments (1)The opening of The Disappearance Of Alice Creed is a fantastic how-to guide on planning, preparing for, and executing the abduction of a human being. So be sure to pay attention and take detailed notes. Two men walk silently through a store picking out items for the day ahead… a drill, rolls of duct tape, a ball gag… just the essentials. We see them next applying skills they picked up in shop class to secure and soundproof a van and a bedroom. (I'm pretty sure the latter was featured on an episode of the TLC show, Trading Spaces.) Remodeling complete, they dress in identical uniforms, drive out in to the world, and return with a writhing and whimpering woman with a hood over her head. They arrive at the dimly lit bedroom, and without uttering a single word to each other or to their wiggling prize they shackle her to the bedposts, remove all of her clothing, take some pictures, dress her in sweats, and leave her in a dark and locked room. Her name is Alice Creed. And before her ordeal is over secrets will be revealed, relationships will be shattered, and everyone's will to survive will be tested.
Don't Forget The Ball-Gag: First Five Minutes of 'The Disappearance Of Alice Creed'
Movie Marketing By Rob Hunter on June 30, 2010 | Be the First To CommentTrailers are so 2009. Welcome to the future of film marketing as Anchor Bay releases the first five minutes of The Disappearance of Alice Creed onto the interwebs! Yeah, I know it's not the first film to market itself this way (hell, Wolverine upped the ante by releasing the entire film in advance), but it's still an interesting move. Doubly so in this case as the lead actress is nowhere to be seen…

This is Tony's (my BF of nearly 12 years) current favorite tea, so I'm reviewing it in honor of the fact that he is the most wonderful man in the world. One of the nice things about relationships is that you don't have to like all of the same things, & this tea is one place where we agree to disagree.
This tea is dark & bold, which is always a favorable quality in my mind. They created this brew in honor of the diamond anniversary of the Queen. It's a good quality of tea, though a little on the bitter edge, & if you like Earl Grey with a twist of orange, you'll be in love, because there's a hefty dose of bergamot here. Tony loves Earl Grey, especially with a slice of orange brewed in the cup, so when he found this on the menu at the London Tea Room, he fell in love! He's been drinking it every morning since! I'm Happy, because he's Happy!
I, on the other hand, am not a huge lover of Bergamot. I enjoy the smell, but the taste has an acidity to it that I find uncomfortable. Nonetheless, I drank this cup with a little stevia, & pictured his smiling face. To each their own!

Thx I was looking for a used 24mm Panoptic, I might as well buy it brand new instead! Your shipping charges to Canada are very decent too, good stuff.
PS> Too bad it's in backorder though:(and the link for the $245 priced 9mm Nagler has an inactive link in database message) just giving you a heads up.

There is still a lot to celebrate about lone parenting, as JK Rowling discovered on TV this week. But the Harry Potter author isn't its only success story. Check out our feelgood list of the great, good and famous raised by one parent – it includes new X Factor judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland, two US presidents, Lance Armstrong and Jarvis Cocker.
It was great timing from JK Rowling… less than a week before lone-parent families were being blamed for the riots and looting that blew up in English towns and cities, the novelist appeared on TV discovering she descends from a long line of women who raised children on their own.
The Harry Potter author – now thought to be worth half a billion pounds – traced her French roots for BBC ancestry show Who Do You Think You Are?.
JK Rowling comes from a long line of single mothers.
She found her great-grandmother, Lizzie, her great-great-grandmother, Salomé, and her great-great-great-grandmother, Christine, were single parents. Her maternal grandmother, Louisa, was also believed to have been born out of wedlock.
'What I'm very struck by is how many single mothers I'm descended from in this line of the family,' she said on the show. 'Twenty years ago, I was teaching and writing in my spare time and was very skint. And not long after that, I became a single mum, so I feel the connection.'
Prime Minister David Cameron responded to the riots by saying it was about time the country confronted its 'slow-motion moral collapse' adding the stinging rebuke that 'children without fathers' contributed to it.
But single parent charity Gingerbread, which boasts Rowling as its president, disagreed.
Director of policy Caroline Davey said: 'It's depressing to see old stereotypes being trotted out, with some commentators opting to blame single parents and family breakdown for last week's riots. There are 1.9million single parents bringing up around 3million children and the vast majority are doing a great job, which is why single parents tell us they find it so frustrating that they're still being stigmatised in this way.'
Rowling, 46, now a mother of three and married to her second husband, Neil Murray, famously wrote her first book about the young wizard while on benefits caring for her daughter in Edinburgh. She was also battling depression.
She has said: 'Women like me… were, according to popular myth, a prime cause of social breakdown, and in it for all we could get: free money, state-funded accommodation, an easy life. Between 1993 and 1997 I did the job of two parents, qualified and then worked as a secondary school teacher, wrote one and a half novels and did the planning for a further five. For a while, I was clinically depressed. To be told, over and over again, that I was feckless, lazy — even immoral — did not help.'
If, like Rowling, you are fed up with single parents getting the blame, take a look at this lot of talented, inspirational, successful, charismatic and downright beautiful people who have one thing in common – they were all raised by one parent.
Tulisa Contostavlos's musician parents separated when she was nine. The new X Factor judge and N-Dubz singer then became a carer for her mother who was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. Now 23, she has spoken of growing up in Camden Town, north London, and her depression and suicide attempts as a teenager as 'really hard, but I'm not sad about my life'.

Barack Obama's father left his mother when the US president was just three. Obama Sr returned to his native Kenya and visited his son only once, in 1971, before he died in a car crash in 1982. The 50-year-old had an unsettled childhood with his mother's second husband relocating them to Indonesia when Obama was a boy before he went to live with his grandparents in Hawaii. He went on to university and Harvard Law School before becoming US president in 2005.

Bill Clinton's father died in a car crash three months before the former US president was born. He was sent to live with his grandparents while his mother studied nursing in New Orleans. His mother then married a car dealer and they moved to Arkansas in 1950. But Clinton, 65, has said he remembers his stepfather as a gambler and an alcoholic who regularly abused his mother and half brother. Clinton was elected US president in 1993 and left office eight years later with the highest end-of-office approval rating despite being impeached over a scandal with an intern.

Divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie lives with actor Brad Pitt and their three adopted children and three biological children.

"Why is it that all my friends eat more than me, but I'm, like, way bigger than them?"
The best way to tell if youre growing normally and at a healthy weight is to talk to your doctor, who can look at your growth over a long period of time and let you know if you are the right weight for you. Try not to compare yourself to those around you, but strive to be healthy by eating a balanced diet and being active every day.

Hey, that's great! I'm sure some people type things that they wish later they could take back, or it came out wrong and they want to clarify it. Or correct a typo. :) |
where do you see edit? |
but now we'll wonder, why did the person edit their post. And if the person clicked "receive responses", do they get all the posts, edited, etc. The edit feature shows up after you've posted. Upper right hand corner. All the code is gone now. I'm trying to edit an upper one before the lower post. These three sentences are all I've added. |

I thought that was what the preview button was for edited just to see what happens will we lose our preview now?? |

This is a great edition. I typed "edition" instead of "addition" on purpose, so I can edit it. Did you mean we could edit before we hit send or after? We've always been able to edit before we sent. Guess I'll submit and find out. |

That was interesting, and easy! |

Well, let me give this a try! Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious - edited to add "Phew", it worked!!!! |
This post was edited by kayjones on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 12:02
at another forum I go to...we always put why the edit was done...but I doubt many here will do that! I had to look for the edit button...but after I found it...pretty easy! |

Tamara posted about this in the GW announcement post, she added the information at the end. Yes we have been the testers for the editing feature. There are no time limits as to when you can edit, for example if someone has already posted after your post you can still go back and edit it. |
What a shame, R C ... that I can't put words into your mouth! Maybe it should be the other way around: you be the ventriloquist - I be the dummy! o j |

Apparently, it spell checks too.At least mine is underlining misspelled words. So the edit button is under clippings.Took me a while to find. When you edit, it doesn't push the thread back up to the top. A poster can change the post without anyone noticing. |

I still don't see it.??????????????? where??????????? |
- Posted by adellabedella (My Page) on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 18:51
Look to the right next to your post. There is the part that says "clippings". There should be an 'edit' link under that. |
ok, now I see it. I looked at other peoples and it wasn't there. |

It took a second but I found it. Nifty! |

Are you limited to editing your own posts OR can you edit posts made by others? I see problems if you can edit posts made by others. |
Ok, I've answereed my question. The "edit post" only shows up on your own posts. It does not show on posts made by others. Whew, that's good. |

OK I am going to test it out also;) |

I guess it does, but all I saw when I came to edit was a bunch of gibberish in computer language, and I erased it all and posted this. Not sure how it works...because I was not sure what the computer language said and if I had wanted to edit it, I would not know what to edit! O.K. this time I came in to edit my post and it was in the english language so I could see what to edit. Last time I came in to edit it was all in computer language and I did not know what to edit. Must have been a computer glitch or something. I think I like this. Time will tell. |

My concern with an edit button which I've seen on other forums, is when things get heated, or for any reason, when people remove their own posts, the whole thread gets confusing. Pertinent posts are removed and the thread doesn't make sense. |
I don't understand the need to edit your posts. By now I would think everyone would have spell check and pop-up blockers. Reading your Preview gives you the opportunity to notice any errors. If you are posting an "opinion," then there is nothing to edit. Just think before you hit Submit. I do, and still some times see errors in what I have posted, but nothing that is world-shattering. Sue |
Yes, we can, but now it's all formatted oddly! It's indented with extra space before the edited posts and a line inserted in the post. Further I agree with jasdip. Worse, we have to figure out what was changed. I hope people chose judiciously when and what they edit. Or it could turn confusing! |
I agree with Jasdip too! My concern with an edit button which I've seen on other forums, is when things get heated, or for any reason, when people remove their own posts, the whole thread gets confusing. Pertinent posts are removed and the thread doesn't make sense. If we are responding to a particular statement we can always quote the person in our reply... that way the original statement is still in the thread. Now even if Jasdip removes (or edits) her post above we will all know what she said. :) |
HELLO...Hello |

I just re-edited my first post and it took all the weird code and formatting off. kathyg if you try to edit your edited post, it may take out the weird spacing. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 18:15
that weird stuff was a problem but as Tamara said they have that worked out now and most of the other glitches. I too worry about edited posts causing chaos and possible drama and even heated discussions. But when we edit it does state that the post has been edited that can not be hidden it is always there to see and the time stamp is there also. |

In a nine-month investigation by NewsChannel 5 (Nashville, Tenn.), Phil Williams shows that the wiring used on many planes "should not be used for airborne application."
From reading the article I discovered that Williams found test videos revealing issues with these types of wire came from the Federal Aviation Administration's own files. He also used a scientific report from the FAA's own experts calling the wires unfit for use on aircraft. There is also a listing of which aircraft have "Kapton" and PVC/Nylon wiring on the station's website.
Williams would have had to be very familiar with the FAA website and navigating the files. He would have needed to know how to access the databases as well as understand what they said. He also uses several sources to discuss the issues so he is very well connected or knew how to find these people in the databases.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch. | 1 "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. |
2 But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd. | 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. |
3 And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts. | 3 Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty. |
4 Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments. | 4 "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel. |
5 Behold, I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. | 5 "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. |
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers: lest I come, and strike the earth with anathema. | 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse." |

Social Media Marketing
In today's marketing world social media is no longer a nice addition but rather a must. Gone are the days when someone could create a Facebook page and update it weekly then call it a night. There are three major aspects to social media marketing and when done right can lead to great rewards for your brand.
Engaging Your Audience
Today social media is about connecting with your current and potential clients and interacting with them via several social platforms. If your band is not engaging via social media you are well behind the times. Generic posting about your company or brand can get old and causes your audience to get bored. Studies show if you engage your audience they become fans and are more likely to share your content, which will help you reach new customers.
Compelling Content
Engaging is only half the battle when it comes to social. Creating compelling content whether it's articles, videos or graphs can help get your band more attention online. No one will share a video with their friends if the video is bad. In fact they might not even watch the entire video. This is the same for inforgraphs and articles. You have to get their attention and keep it. Social media works best when something goes viral and only compelling content goes viral.
Content Promotion
You can create the most compelling content but if nobody sees it, you will have wasted your time and money. Most content does not get attention useless an influencer gets a hold of it. Someone with relationships on social media platforms. We have a case study on our blog about a video that almost didn't get the attention it deserved. Content promotion is the most time consuming and expensive part of social media marketing.

To help monitor and stay connected with your social media efforts, we've compiled this list of seven great tools that can help you do more with social media in less time. Most of these tools are also a good way to stay organized and will ultimately make you a better friend to your social media buddies.

The Italians Bring the Party to Fashion Week
- Fashion
- New York City
The Italians did the best job kicking off New York Fashion Week, which started last Friday. Uptown at the Roberto Cavalli boutique on Madison Avenue, the designer threw a party honoring Vanity Fair fashion and style director Michael Roberts's latest book, Fighters and Flowers. "Incredible and vibrant" is how Cavalli described the a photographic narrative about an ultimate fighter that Roberts shot in Rio last summer. It exclusively features Cavalli's Spring '09 men's collection.
The Upper East Side shop was filled to the brim with editors and strong Brazilian and Italian delegations sipping caipirinhas, but the imported revelers were sobered by the thought of having few parties to hop to. "But where eez the next one tonight?" Um, Prada?At the label's SoHo "epicenter," Prada had commissioned stylist Alex White to transform the store to her liking using merchandise and jewelry from the Spring '09 collection. The signature crinkled cotton separates from the season clinged to the mannequins arranged sparingly around the store. Zoe Saldana, star of the upcoming Star Trek remake, materialized briefly, but the absence of any other boldface stars confirmed the rumor of a celebrity-lite week to come. Ah, room to breathe and move!
Designers Zac Posen, Thakoon Panichgul, and Jason Wu were spotted mingling in the crowd as well. Wu, who showed his Fall '09 collection earlier that day, was thrilled with the solid notices he had received from his afternoon show. However, the coming week will be the true test of Wu's sartorial sky-rocket as retailers begin to place fall orders with the nation's designer of the moment.

Mooring Studies
The dynamic response of vessels moored at quays, wharves, jetties and terminal heads and the required mooring arrangements is a key factor in the safe and efficient running of a port. Understanding and quantifying the natural environmental forces of tidal flow plus wind speed and direction is one of ABPmer's areas of expertise. Combined with our engineering knowledge and expertise in harbour development, we are able to provide clients with mooring assessments to meet the standards and requirements of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF).
ABPmer have provided a range of bespoke mooring assessments to Harbour Authorities wishing to evaluate their current arrangements, or to assist in the design of new berthing areas and to inform
Key Services:
- Bollard arrangement/design
- Mooring assessment
- Ship mooring line arrangements
Selected Experience:
Immingham Bulk Terminal Mooring Study - Corus Group
ABPmer was commissioned by Corus Group, the owners and operators of Immingham bulk terminal on the Humber Estuary, to examine mooring patterns for vessels berthed at jetty under the largest predicted flow and wind conditions.
Humber International Terminal - ABP Grimsby & Immingham
ABPmer was commissioned by ABP Immingham to review mooring arrangements at the Humber International Terminal (HIT) at Immingham. This investigation had a twofold purpose; firstly to review mooring arrangements currently deployed at HIT1 and secondly, to evaluate proposed moorings arrangements for the planned HIT2 extension.
River Hamble Mooring Plan - River Hamble Harbour Authority
ABPmer was commissioned by River Hamble Harbour Authority to provide a detailed review of the proposed River Hamble berthing and mooring plan. The review presented the potential impacts of the proposed changes on the Estuary processes and morphology.

UFA, RUSSIA - If that was one of Steve Spott's pranks, it wasn't very funny.
No joking, but Canada will have to wait another year to try to end its gold medal dry spell at the world junior championship.
Canada was stuffed by an American juggernaut on Thursday, losing 5-1 to the United States in a semifinal at the 2013 world juniors.
Canada hasn't won gold since 2009 and will have to wait to 2014 in Sweden to try again.
The Canadian players couldn't handle an American team that simply wanted it more before a crowd of 4,791 at Ufa Arena.
Canada will meet the loser of the semifinal between Sweden and Russia in the bronze medal game on Saturday. The Americans will play the winner of that game for gold. The U.S. will be going for its second gold in four years after winning in 2010 in Saskatoon, and just their third at the world junior.
Canada, meanwhile, has no guarantee that it will win a medal for the 15th world junior in a row. Not if the players perform as they did against the Americans.
American captain Jake McCabe, a defenceman, had two goals and an assist. Canadian captain Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, meanwhile, not only didn't put his team on his back but was dragged down with the rest of the group in red and white sweaters. If you're looking for an inspiring performance, you will find it somewhere else.
McCabe, a Buffalo Sabres prospect, scored twice in the first period to give the U.S. a 2-0 lead.
John Gaudreau scored in the second period, and so did Jim Vesey, and that was it for goalie Malcolm Subban. Gaudreau, with seven goals in three games, scored again in the third period.
Subban failed to become the first goalie to play every minute for Canada at the world junior since Carey Price in 2007. Jordan Binnington came on to play in his first game since Dec. 22, when Canada faced Sweden in an exhibition.
But pinning the loss on Subban — or, if you want to be ridiculous, on having a day off while the Americans beat the Czech Republic in a quarterfinal — would be wrong.
What was surprising about the loss was Canada's lack of focus. Jonathan Drouin, suddenly looking like an insecure 18-year-old and not a top prospect for the 2013 NHL entry draft, shot high and wide on a 2-on-1 break in the second period. Defenceman Scott Harrington, one of six returning players from last winter, took a routine pass at the American blue line and stepped out of the zone, causing all four of his teammates to be offside. Boone Jenner took a fly-by on a body-check, one that might have stopped the first American goal had he made it.
And let's not forget the Americans aren't a bunch of stiffs when it comes to hockey. It's not like Canada was upset by Latvia or Germany.
The U.S., coached by former NHL defenceman Phil Housley, was excellent defensively (at least for the first 40 minutes, when the game was decided) and when the Canadians broke through, goalie John Gibson was sharp.
Canada did get credit for a goal in the third period when Ty Rattie put the puck in the net after the whistle. Not sure how that works, but that's the International Ice Hockey Federation for you. The less sense something makes, the better, it seems.
Spott, the head coach, tricked assistant coach Don Nachbaur on Wednesday when put Nachbaur's name on the back of the latter's track jacket for practice. That was funny.
What happened 24 hours later was not.

Electro-acupuncture May Aid in Easing Knee Pain
Posted: January 29, 2010
A modern twist on traditional acupuncture may bring some pain relief to people with knee arthritis, at least in the short term, a small study suggests.
The study, published in the journal Pain, looked at the effects of electro-acupuncture among 40 adults with knee osteoarthritis—the common "wear-and-tear" form of arthritis in which the cartilage cushioning the joints breaks down.
Electro-acupuncture is similar to traditional acupuncture, where fine needles are inserted into specific points in the skin. What's different is that the practitioner fits the needles with clips that are attached to a small device that delivers a continuous electrical impulse to stimulate the acupuncture point.
Among the patients in the current study, those who had a daily electro-acupuncture session for 10 consecutive days reported greater improvement in their pain compared with patients who received a "sham" version of the therapy. Patients in that latter group received acupuncture, but the needles were inserted at random points on the skin rather than traditional acupuncture sites. And while the needles were attached to the electrical device, it was not actually turned on.
The findings suggest that true electro-acupuncture may offer at least short-term pain relief to knee arthritis sufferers, according to the researchers, led by Dr. Sadia Ahsin of the Army Medical College Rawalpindi in Pakistan.

The View From Here
First Look -- Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited
The arrival of a new Wes Anderson film is pretty much always a cause for celebration in the UNCUT office. He's a master of dry, melancholic comedies and a meticulous visual stylist, with a fine ear for music and who's surrounded himself with a peerless roster of actors -- Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and Gene Hackman among them -- who faultlessly bring his peculiar, poignant stories to life.
It's perhaps emblematic of Anderson's universe that, in the production notes handed out at last night's press screening for The Darjeeling Limited, Anjelica Huston describes her character in the film as "something of an action hero nun." I am also warned, half-seriously, by the film's press officer to prepare for the continuous use of Peter Sarstedt's ballad "Where Did You Go To (My Lovely)" over the soundtrack. Oh, and Bill Murray crops up for the opening five minutes in a mute cameo.
Adding an extra level of quirk to the proceedings, The Darjeeling Limited is preceeded by a 10 minute short, Hotel Chevalier, a two-hander between Schwartman and Natalie Portman set in a hotel suite in Paris, one-liners zinging like a Howard Hawks' comedy. It's the first glimpse we get of Schwartzman (who also co-wrote Darjeeling with Anderson and Roman Coppola), as Jack Whitman, the youngest of three brothers, whose fumbled attempts to reconnect with one another forms the narrative arc of Darjeeling.
Anderson's films -- Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou -- occupy themselves with the strength/fragility of relationships, usually within the family unit. I was surprised at how soft (in a good way) Darjeeling is, how sweet the estranged brothers' struggle to bond is. Alongside Schwartman, there's Adrien Brody making his debut for Anderson as middle brother Peter, with the director's long-term collaborator, Owen Wilson, rounding out the family as eldest brother Francis.
We know that all three boys are grieving their father's death, and there are still issues with their mother (Huston) who never attended his funeral and is now the "action hero nun" in a monastery in the Himalayas. Compounding this, Jack is vainly trying to extricate himself from a failing relationship; Peter is unsure how to react to imminent fatherhood; Frances is physically damaged, recovering from a motorbike accident, his face partly obscured by bandages for the duration of the film.
At Frances' request, the three meet on board The Darjeeling Limited, a train travelling across the desert of Rajasthan. There, Frances plans, they'll embark on a more spiritual journey of their own, which will culminate with meeting their mother.
To shoot on the train, Anderson and his crew borrowed 10 coaches from India's Northwestern Railways, gutted them and build their own interiors, a striking palette of traditional Indian colours and Art Deco designs every bit as extraordinary as Steve Zissou's ship, the Belafonte, in The Life Aquatic. There's also wonderful images of bright saris and the parched yellow desert; a flashback to grey, windy New York looks like the colour's been leached out of the world.
I'm struck by how much I fell for the relationship between the three brothers. If I have one recurring complaint against Anderson it's that sometimes his films are too detached for me to fully engage with -- it was certainly the case with The Life Aquatic. But there's something charming about the way the three brothers' squabble (Jack, at one point, having to mace Frances and Peter to stop them from kicking the crap out of him); they seem to regress into a childhood world of scraps and arguments that's quite endearing.
But it's not all funny. There's a pretty grim tragedy down the line, and it's the way the brothers' deal with it that eventually brings them closer -- tho it doesn't necessarily provide the resolution they're after.
It's certainly not on a par with Tenenbaums, I've got to say, which still stands as Anderson's masterpiece in my book. But it's certainly a very charming way to spend 91 minutes.
The Darjeeling Limited plays at the London Film Festival on November 1, and opens in the UK on November 23.

A great game of golf starts with…balance? That's right, if you don't have great balance you will never have the consistency you desire. Balance is the basis for consistent putts, chips and full swings but it's not as simple as it sounds. This is why the Eyeline Golf Balance Rod is such a great golf training aid.
You might think that there isn't much to balance. I mean, you stand up and walk across the golf course and as long as you don't fall, you've got it covered, right? Well mate, balance is actually a complicated principle that covers a lot more than just being upright. This is why it is often overlooked when it comes to improving your golf game.
Your body makes micro-adjustments al of the time to keep you in balance. Most of the time you won't even notice these adjustments, which can be as small as lifting your head or redistributing your weight. In everyday life these small movements don't interfere with everyday life but in golf they become a problem! This is where the Eyeline Golf Balance Rod comes in!
This in turn forces your body to utilize your leg muscles for stabilization instead of your upper body. The benefit of this is that you can generate balance with your legs without altering the upper body mechanics needed for a great swing.
After stepping onto the Eyeline Golf Balance Rod your body will start to make those micro-adjustments. You might feel as though you're on your heels or that you're tipping forward on your toes. Either way your body will automatically make the necessary adjustments. After going through a few swings you'll begin to feel centered!
The good thing about the Eyeline Golf Balance Rod is that you don't really have to think about it. Your body works to achieve balance in all situations all by itself. Standing on the Balance Rod puts you just off balance enough to challenge your body. And since this golf training aid doesn't cost a pretty penny you really have nothing to lose!
Have you used the Eyeline Golf Balance Rod? If you've tried this golf training aid and have an opinion to share please jump in and write your own review!
It can be hard to correct problems that you don't even know you're having, like balance issues! Learning how to keep yourself balanced from set up through follow through is a key element in consistency on the golf course. If you're ready to challenge yourself and achieve better results with each and every shot you might want to give the Eyeline Golf Balance Rod a try!

AMATS announced during its Dec. 8 Policy Committee meeting that the first recipients of its new Connecting Communities Planning Grant Program would be the city of Richfield and the joint applicants of the city of Akron and METRO, the transit authority serving Summit County.
The program provides two $50,000 grants to help applicants develop transportation plans and studies that focus on livability practices identified in the agency's Connecting Communities Initiative – A Guide to Integrating Land Use and Transportation.
Heather Davis Reidl, mobility planner, says that the agency is excited about the program, which incorporates key principles of Connecting Communities.
"We sought proposals that promote economic development while encouraging alternative forms of transportation," Davis Reidl continues, "We want to promote more transportation choices, such as walking and biking, while supporting existing neighborhoods rather than sprawl."
She notes that it was not an easy task for the Connecting Communities Task Force to select the final recipients from among the 17 applications submitted by project sponsors throughout the Greater Akron area. "Response to the program has been enthusiastic and all of the proposals had merit," Davis Reidl observes.
The Richfield and the joint Akron-METRO studies were ultimately selected because they have excellent frameworks for success and will support the livability practices promoted by Connecting Communities, Davis Reidl explains. (To view summaries of these studies, please click here.)
Richfield will use its grant money to craft its Crossroad of Commerce & Community Study, a comprehensive land use plan for the area surrounding the intersection of Interstates 77 and 271. The Richfield study will include the development of bike and pedestrian plans that promote access to public transportation along Brecksville Road and safe connections across the interstates to reconnect its residential and commercial areas to school and recreational facilities. There are also proposals for trail and street improvements to connect Richfield's Historic District, its school campus and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Akron and METRO will use their grant money to develop the Downtown Akron Connectivity Study to improve connectivity, accessibility and mobility between Akron's neighborhoods and districts located in the downtown area. The study's recommendations will be designed to give downtown workers and visitors an array of travel and choices to move effectively and efficiently throughout downtown Akron.
For additional information, please call AMATS at 330-375-2436 or send an e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Investments
The following is an excerpt from the Annual Audit for the year ended June 30, 2011.
During 2010-11, $82,304 was expended by a local hospital and the Butte County Department of Public Health in their efforts to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes for low-income women. These programs assessed and referred high-risk postpartum mothers and conducted an outpatient drug/alcohol treatment program to ensure adequate prenatal care and the birth of tox-free babies. Programs also worked with high-risk parents of newborns by linking families to support, education and community services, and provided breastfeeding support in order to increase the duration of breastfeeding for mothers who wished to do so.
During FY 2010-11, $33,506 was expended on a media campaign designed to educate the general public on the dangers of exposing young children to second hand cigarette smoke, and to provide encouragement and information to those who wish to quit smoking.
An additional $86,254 was spent on other community outreach and family enrichment activities including preschool playground and classroom modifications, an early literacy program, a children's fair, a community baby shower, a "Music and Movement" concert and conference, and a Sun Safety Awareness campaign.
During FY 2010-11, $137,915 was expended on the Commission's Oral Health Initiative in support of the Mobile Dental Clinic (a tri-county partnership with First 5 Glenn, First 5 Tehama, and Northern Valley Indian Health), hospital dentistry, education and outreach to pregnant women, young children and their parents, and an oral health workshop for the Hmong community hosted by the Hmong Cultural Center of Butte County.
During FY 2010-11, $650,772 was expended on primary prevention and early intervention programs such as intensive home visitation services and group activities for target populations of overburdened parents of newborns, teen parents, and families with children at risk for abuse and neglect.
During FY 2010-11, $434,120 was spent on the implementation of comprehensive School Readiness programs in five low-performing school communities in Oroville, Chico and Berry Creek. School Readiness grant recipients include Chico Unified, Thermalito Union and Pioneer School Districts, the Butte County Library, the Butte County Office of Education and Valley Oak Children's Services.
During FY 2010-11, $147,365 was expended on evaluation support and activities including the support and modification of First 5ERS (the Commission's web-based data collection system) and external evaluation of the School Readiness Program and Butte Baby Steps program – two of the Commission's largest investments.

(NEW YORK) -- It might be debatable whether married people are happier than everyone else but Gallup learned one thing is for sure: they outspend other Americans. In a survey of over 135,000 adults, Gallup says married individuals, on average, spend $102 daily. That's compared to couples living together where the average spent per partner is $98 a day.
Meanwhile, the poll says that divorced individuals spend an average of $74 on a daily basis while people who've never tied the knot average about $67 in expenses per day, followed by widowed people at $62.
What's more, married folks in all age groups were still tops in spending compared to all other marital status categories.
Although the marriage rate in the U.S. has fallen over the past several decades, Gallup maintains there's "a pent-up demand for marriage" that could finally reverse the trend.

As we inch closer to the dawn of the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini continues to push out shadowy images of its forthcoming concept car -- a good thing, as it's promised no fewer than six images before the big reveal.
Although the first three images showed portions of the exterior, engine cover, and dashboard, we're a little puzzled by the photo above. Are we looking at the carbon-fiber laden intake runner for a V-10 or V-12, or is this some mysterious bit of interior trim? We're inclined to think this is the former, although we'll know for sure by Thursday, at the very latest. We don't, however, think this car will be a thinly veiled look at the ;Murciélago;'s successor, commonly referred to as Jota. Instead, expect this concept to showcase Lamborghini's newfound fetish for carbon fiber, along with an illustration of how the company's new mantra can translate into a rolling vehicle. Want to see the finished product? Stay with Automobile Magazine all this week for the latest on the secretive Lamborghini, along with other news and debuts from the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
