The Aussies got themselves a strange idea of suspense-horror movie.
In fact, "Reason 2 Kill" is going to be one of the most baffling you'll see in quite some time. Let's take a look at why.
Quito Washington, the guy who did pretty much everything involved in "Reason 2 Kill" except make the cast lunch, sums up his mission for the film with this verbose paragraph:
"I wanted to make a film that was something I could only make once—a film that had all the things in it that I liked in films: Random events repeated, people talking about events not yet seen. I wanted nature to be felt so that the audience could be immersed in the experience of the film. I wanted to allow you to feel as if you were right there in the rain watching…listening…yet unable to do anything."
Okay, first off…Quito. Buddy. "…people talking about events not yet seen" is called FORESHADOWING. Sixth graders' short stories do that.
Second: random events repeated. So you actually PREFER it when large segments of film not only not make sense, but also bore hell out of everybody by forcing them to relive the nonsense all over again.
Third: "I wanted to allow you to feel as if you were right there in the rain watching…listening…yet unable to do anything." Congratulations. You have discovered the technical definition of a movie. EVERYONE will feel that they can't do anything because this is a WORK OF FICTION. You know, with fictional characters? Fic-shun-al care-ack-ters, as they got Ben Affleck to say in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?"
Okay, Quito's daffy little mission statement aside, there's an even bigger problem with this movie. The problem is that there's not so much a plot in here as there is a discussion group. A good sixty-plus percent of the movie revolves around five half-drunk Aussies sitting around a table and discussing morality. And frankly, if I wanted to go get liquored up and talk morality for seventy minutes I'd go to a college bar. At least then I might get laid.
But when a movie is so desperate for depth of thought that it's willing to rip off "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (the joke is, I'm not kidding. One hour, seven seconds. They quote "No fate but what you make."), you KNOW that this is going to be a really, really bad movie.
And indeed, it is. The surprise twist ending, frankly, isn't all that twisty or surprising, even. And just to sum things up, "Reason 2 Kill" gives me no real reason 2 watch.

About Dukes
Great Pulteney Street was commissioned by Sir William Pulteney and completed in 1789. No 53 and No 54 have served as domestic homes, long term lodgings and as a school. In 1919 the two properties were first combined into a private hotel, St Monica's. In 1985 the name was changed to Dukes Hotel, in honour of His Grace the Duke of Clevedon.
Dukes operated as a full service hotel through until 2012 when the current owners purchased the property and repositioned these magnificent townhouses as an informal + boutique guest house. Now known more simply as 'Dukes' or 'Dukes of Bath' the reputation and emphasis on service and unforced hospitality, towards all guests, will continue to rest at the heart of this wonderful property.
Our rooms
We offer an assortment of four rooms on a bed and breakfast basis.
Standard double rooms
These are the smaller, more functional guest rooms often located up beneath the mansard roof of the townhouse. We feel that these are typically suitable for an overnight business stay, rugby match stop over or shopping trip with a partner.
Superior double rooms
hese more generously proportioned rooms offer greater comfort with the addition of arm chairs and writing desks. Whether it be for Valentines or a mid week treat these rooms rarely disappoint.
Deluxe double rooms
In a by gone era these would be considered to be a classic suite with a separate 'sitting room' accessed via a internal door way. A rather special birthday celebration or an important anniversary may be a fitting prompt.
Four poster rooms
These rooms, at over 300 square feet are truly generous in their proportion. Each contains a four poster bed and exudes a classical Georgian elegance. These rooms offer up a unique patina charting the past eras of history.
Please note - whilst our floorboards may creak and our sash windows may rattle we guarantee you a very hospitable welcome. We will tend you with natural, unforced service and encourage a memorable stay in possibly one of the most elegant and historically pleasing private guest houses in Bath. We offer a no quibble guarantee, we treasure your visit and our dedicated and professional team welcome guests back year after year.
Our room rates include a full English breakfast, parking and complimentary access to newspapers and other internet media from reception. Our rooms are en-suite and include:
- Daily room service
- Vi-sprung beds
- Premium brushed cotton white sheets
- Flat screen TV
- Hospitality tray with a variety of teas, coffee, milk and sugar
- Direct-dial telephone
- Complimentary vintage Penhaligon toiletries
- Complimentary bath robes
- Free wi-fi – signal permitting
Georgian Town house - Luggage and Wireless Internet
For many years the benefit of introducing a lift has been discussed and considered, unfortunately our Grade 1 listing is now rather restrictive. We will not hesitate to help carry your luggage, however we welcome your patience and consideration.
Wireless Internet - Guaranteed in the spacious airy, guest drawing room. Available after considerable investment in most of the bedrooms - however massively thick Bath stone walls and Grade 1 listing restrictions preclude perfect reception in all of the rooms. Please make sure your needs are known at the time of booking.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: | 1 Then the word of the LORD came to me: |
2 Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and daughters in this place. | 2 "You must not marry and have sons or daughters in this place." |
3 For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers -- those bearing them, And of their fathers -- those begetting them in this land: | 3 For this is what the LORD says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers: |
4 Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth. | 4 "They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried but will be like refuse lying on the ground. They will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth." |
5 For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies. | 5 For this is what the LORD says: "Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity from this people," declares the LORD. |
6 And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them. | 6 "Both high and low will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, and no one will cut himself or shave his head for them. |
7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother. | 7 No one will offer food to comfort those who mourn for the dead--not even for a father or a mother--nor will anyone give them a drink to console them. |
8 A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to drink, | 8 "And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink. |
9 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride. | 9 For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place. |
10 And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, `For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?' | 10 "When you tell these people all this and they ask you, 'Why has the LORD decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the LORD our God?' |
11 Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept, | 11 then say to them, 'It is because your fathers forsook me,' declares the LORD, 'and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law. |
12 Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me. | 12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your fathers. See how each of you is following the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying me. |
13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace. | 13 So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.' |
14 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: `Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' | 14 "However, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when men will no longer say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' |
15 But, `Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers. | 15 but they will say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers. |
16 Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks. | 16 "But now I will send for many fishermen," declares the LORD, "and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks. |
17 For Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes. | 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes. |
18 And I have recompensed a first -- A second time -- their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance. | 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols." |
19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable. | 19 O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. |
20 Doth man make for himself gods, And they -- no gods? | 20 Do men make their own gods? Yes, but they are not gods!" |
21 Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name [is] Jehovah! | 21 "Therefore I will teach them-- this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD. |

Hong Kong Cosco Hotel Guest Reviews (34)
Nice, clean relatively spacious rooms (by Hong Kong standards). Good hotel to stay if you just need a place to return to at night to sleep. Being in the Western district of Hong Kong island the location is not the most convenient as there is no MTR stop nearby. But just opposite the hotel is a bus stop where bus 5B takes you to the western end of the island line MTR station (Sheung Wan) within about 10 minutes, and the tram also stops close to the hotel, if you like to take a slower ride along Hong Kong island.

The hotel is not situated near a Metro station but travelling by tram and bus is cheap and convenient. Internet is free and accessible. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially for Chinese speaking guests. I had to find a doctor at night and received timely advice, which helped. The room is spacious for a single person, complete with a bath. I could comfortably eat in my room , while watching tv in a chair and table. The only trouble I have is in finding a double adaptor for my camera. They wanted a $100 deposit for loaning it. I was able to buy one for $8 at the street market later.

Cosco Hotel Hong Kong provides friendly services. However, native speakers of English or customers who use English to convey their messages may find it difficult to communicate with the receptionists/informationists of the hotel. Regarding the location of the hotel, it is very convenient to walk to the U. of Hong Kong. Moreover, it is very easy to go to the town centre by using tram/bus/taxi services around that area. Bus no. A 10 to the airport passes the hotel every 30 minutes, and the price is reasonable, $HKD 48 for a single ticket. The hotel also provides the Internet access on the ground floor. There are two PC available for the hotel guests only. In sum, it is suitable for visitors who want to save some money for shopping, as the booking rate of the rooms are reasonable. People/tourists who do not care so much about a number of stars for their overnight stays may consider trying the Cosco Hotel for their next trip to Hong Kong.

A little out of the way, but a decent price for what it was. The tram stop is perhaps 50 feet from the hotel entrance, and the nearest McDonald's is about 100 yards away. Excellent air conditioning and very quiet surroundings. I would stay here again. The one negative is that the water closet is a little slow in recharging, and the promised free internet access in the lobby was compromised by a virus problem. My advice is not to check your e-mail or do any online banking or purchases from there. Casual surfing is fine. Review by: AnonymousDate stayed May 5, 2007 |

A bit far from Central and not accessible by the MTR system. As an alternative, you can get to the hotel using the slow but reliable tram that runs through the northern part of HK island. As a bonus, the tram stop is only a stone's throw from the hotel. Review by: Lim Choon KiatDate stayed October 20, 2006 |

Airplane Fuel Tanks
Name: Fred Status: other Grade: other Location: NJ Country: N/A Date: 9/16/2005
How does a fuel tank in an air plane work in all directions? i.e if the tank is upside down, right side up, or tilted any which way the fuel is supposed to come out to the last drop? How does this work?
Fred -
There are a number of techniques to accomplish this. Here are two -
1. The fuel uptake in the tank is a "flop tube" and it falls to the bottom of the tank in whatever position the plane finds itself.
2. The use of a "header tank" that is fed by the main tanks and designed to feed the engine any attitude. This tank holds enough to provide the fuel to the engine - for a period of time - even when the fuel from the tank is not flowing.
Many small aircraft use a gravity feed system that will not work upside down even with one of these accommodations. Either an engine driven or electrical fuel pump is required in some attitudes. Also, aircraft fuel tanks have an unusable quantity of fuel. In level flight, a typical light plane with 20 gallons in a tank will have a gallon or two unusable. The primary reason for this is to trap water and contaminants. A pilot drains a sample of fuel from the bottom of the tank to check for such before flight.
Larry Krengel
What you describe not true for all airplanes. Part of being "fully aerobatic" is having the right kind of gas-tank.
One way to do it is a flexible bladder, a bag full of gasoline, inside the rigid tank. as the bag slowly empties of fuel liquid, air enters into a vent-hole in the rigid tank to replace the volume. Another way is using surface tension and a well-sculpted mesh-filled tank. The liquid will stick hardest to the densest parts of the mesh or sponge. But this force is weak and the thick mesh slows down fuel flow, so it's more likely for low-G spacecraft or something else. Maybe one can afford to have multiple fuel-lines and actively switch to whichever one has liquid. If you are clever you might think of a passive mechanism open only the one tap with the right g-force or liquid coverage. Filling the tank with some ordinary mesh helps in this situation to minimize dynamic sloshing around, which could otherwise put lots of air-bubbles into the fuel lines.
Large tanks can be difficult to fix up right. Small reservoirs fed by pumps can give immunity for short periods of emergency maneuvering. Perhaps passenger planes have this. Sometimes these reservoirs are called "phase separators" because, given mixed liquid and gas-bubbles, they steer the liquid one way and the gas another.
I do not know which technologies are actually used. Seems to me there are a variety of options.
Jim Swenson
The most common method is a weighted pick-up. Imagine a flexible hose inside the tank, with a weight at one end. The end of the hose would be pulled to the 'bottom' of the tank, as determined by whichever direction the latest movements of the airplane are pushing the fuel. It is not a perfect system, but pilots and aircraft designers understand they will not be able to get every last bit of fuel out of a tank. In designing the aircraft, allowances are made for the unusable fuel, and in flying the aircraft, pilots keep enough extra fuel in the tanks to ensure they will not suddenly go dry when the pick-up cannot reach the last bit of fuel.
Another method involves pressurized fuel tanks, like a water balloon that has not been tied off.

For some reason, the trailers for Lightning Returns aren't catching my interest. They somehow feel flat, as if there isn't going to be much depth there. Maybe I'm just getting tired of the forced melodrama.
I'd be surprised if the player is going to be able to affect the game significantly by choosing who to save or sacrifice. In 13-2, you're given the choice to kill Caius or not, but it makes absolutely no difference what you select; it plays out exactly the same way. Yep, I'm still angry.
*sigh*. Maybe I'm just projecting my dislike for 13-2. (But by contrast, the FF15 trailers have definitely piqued my interest; I think there's potential there.)
Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy if 13-3 was good, but... this puts me even more firmly in the "wait for the review" camp.

The timeless debate about the existence of God was carried out at Kamloops Convention Centre on Friday night with a respectfully heated back-and-forth befitting a political dustup in the House of Commons.
At one point during the rebuttal period, activist and free thought humanist Christopher DiCarlo, a proponent for atheism, even referred to non-believers as the official opposition to those who do.
"Atheism is basically the opposition party. You make the claims; we can demonstrate why your claims are not to be accepted. We don't necessarily have to prove our point," said DiCario.
About 300 people turned out to hear the opposition party, which was comprised of DiCario and former fundamentalist Christian Matt Dillahunty, verbally duke it out with University of Toronto philosopher Michael Horner and Paul Chamberlain, the director of the Institute for Christian Apologetics.
Daily News editor Mel Rothenburger moderated the debate, giving each side 20 minutes to state its case before moving into rebuttals and cross-examinations.
Going in, the believers and non-believers admitted the debate would not be won on this night. And they covered traditional arguments on the creation of the universe and burden of proof, or lack thereof, about such an entity's existence.
Chamberlain said the universe is proof enough that God exists, adding there's no way gravity could have developed in such a way to allow life without the guidance of a sentient, all-powerful being's hand.
"If left to chance, the universe would be life prohibitive," he said.
DiCario disagreed. He said science has found evidence of multiple universes, suggesting that several might exist side by side or fate tried several times to get it right.
Dillahunty said the human mind clings to concepts like God in order to explain things that haven't been explained. He believes this is a huge problem because it allows people to overestimate their intellect.
"Magicians and con artists, like psychics, make a living on this," he said, likening them to God.
Horner countered, saying evidence of God is everywhere as long as people have an open heart and open mind.

This year's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, beginning September 3rd, will be the gayest ever. The sheer number of LGBT delegates is at its highest yet, according to Stonewall Democrats in the Washington Blade:
The upcoming Democratic National Convention is set to have a record number of openly LGBT delegates, although goals for some states aren't being met, according to new data from the National Stonewall Democrats.
The organization as of Wednesday evening identified at least 470 openly LGBT delegates that are set to attend the convention, but more data is expected to become public at a later time. A total of 5,963 delegates are set to come to Charlotte, N.C.., for the event during the week of Sept. 3.
Having 470 delegates exceeds the goal of 418 delegates at the convention and is already higher than numbers from 2008, when 277 delegates participated.
(For those comprehension-challenged readers who question any discussions of historic LGBT representation, please note no one is being outed here. These are "openly gay" Democrats.)
The DNC itself has not issued exact counts yet, although these are expected sometime before the convention is gaveled to order. In the meantime, we have the numbers crunched by Stonewall Democrats:
Jerame Davis, executive director of the National Stonewall Democrats, said the numbers "for sure" mean Democrats are on track to have the highest number of openly LGBT delegates ever at the convention.
"We're finally getting to the point where we get closer to appropriate measure of representation as compared to the population at large, although we're not quite to that point," Davis said.
It'a also important to note that official delegates are not the only attendees in Charlotte.
Additionally, Davis has identified a total of 518 official LGBT participants at the convention. In addition to the 470 identified LGBT delegates, these participants include 23 alternate delegates, 20 standing committee members and five pages. That's also higher than the 365 LGBT participants who went to the 2008 convention in Denver and the 282 LGBT participants who went to the 2004 convention in Boston.
For exact counts, including lists of states which exceeded their goals (Yay!) and those which did not meet their own targets (Try harder!) and those states for which exact data is not yet available, please see here.

It's not my house ... just an unusual style for the area. Am I right in thinking "Tudor-meets-Art-Deco"? The dining room built-ins look very Craftsman to me, but there is all the twee leaded glass in the living room built-ins, and the stained glass. No interior exposed beams to speak of. http://www.redfin.com/WA/Tacoma/531-S-55th-St-98408/home/2827589#main |

I think it's '10s-'20s Tudor Revival. It has some elements in common with Art Deco, but mostly because of the time it was built. It's a real pity the windows on the front were replaced during the picture-window craze of the mid-century. A cute house, even so! |

The use of a jerkinhead (clipped/ hipped/ truncated/ Dutch/ German) front facing gable is a rare variant of the the American Tudor style which was based primarily on late Medieval English manor houses and cottages and prominently featured steep full-faced gables. This Continental variant was sometimes called a "Germanic Cottage". It is essentially an American Tudor house without it's most characteristic and charming feature. Cute? To me the style is heavy handed to the point of looking sinister but how could they have anticipated the Master of the Dark Side? I would skip this house on Halloween. |
Oooh, "jerkinhead". See, that's the kind of word I never would have discovered without this forum. Thanks, I love it :) |

LOL Renovator! It is indeed a Darth Vader house, but I rather dig it just for that alone. The layout and preservation of the kitchen & built-in elements is charming. My 1910 Shingle Craftsman also has the jerkinhead roof, albeit on the sides. |

Modmarket is Boulder's newest green restaurant
Categories: Cafe Society, Open and Shut Cases
Lori Midson |
I stopped in yesterday during a test run and found a minimalist space sprouting wheat grass along the back wall, a full house of servers, salad tossers and flatbread assemblers, and Boulder's greenest patrons ogling over the heaps of weeds that comprise a small salad. Chef and managing partner Anthony Pigliacampo explained that Troy Guard, owner and exec chef of TAG, consulted on the menu. "All of the really great stuff on the menu is Troy's doing; the rest is mine," he joked.
Like the space, it's an unfussy menu devoted to salads with names like "Cobbish," "Mongolian" and "Fajita" and flatbreads, all of which are made on whole grain dough and cooked in a stone hearth oven. But my favorite thing about Modmarket isn't the salads or flatbreads, but the sodas, all of which are Boylan's or the market's own sparkling waters. I'll drink to that.

I planted a young Japanese Maple in April. I'm not completely happy with where I put it and would like to move it. I'm thinking this would be the worst possible time to move it with the summer heating up. Would it be better to move it in the fall before it goes dormant, or wait until spring before it breaks dormancy? |

Fall would be best just after the leaves drop off. Late winter before it buds would be second best. |

I thought he made an heroic effort to achieve this challenge as he found it harder than he had expected. He confessed later that he hadn't actually ever achieved 100 press-ups during his training and had only ever managed 70 before (which he then revised down to 60). Teenagers!!
However, he didn't want to let anyone down on the night and was determined to complete the challenge by hook or by crook. He cracked out the first 50 without too much problem but the second 50 became as much a mental challenge as a physical one. But he didn't give up and finally reached the target of 100. In fact watching him struggle on the 100th press-up still brings a tear to my eye.
Here's the video.....
Well, he's my hero anyway. Well done Matt. x

Hi, all--I've got my heart set on a pedestal/clawfoot tub for our bathroom remodel for aesthetic and comfort reasons (those slopey sides are just too divine). However, we don't have a ton of space and the shower-curtain options are all pretty icky if the tub is free-standing all the way around. Does anyone know of a tub that can be built-in just along one of its long sides? The only one I can find is the City Bath from Urban Archaeology: http://urbanarchaeology.com/cutsheets/bathroom/tubs/CityBathtubs.pdf but no way am I spending $18k on a custom made marble bath... Would something like the Kohler Reve work with a little caulking? I think part of my problem is I don't know how to search.
Follow-Up Postings:
What about a drop-in or undermount tub with a fairly small surround? You can get a similar look for a lot less money, and have more space for curtains. Really, any tub without a 'skirt' would work... |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Fri, May 18, 12 at 21:51
If you actually want a waterproof shower, then you either want the clawfoot/pedestal with the circle shower curtain, or you want an alcove tub with an integral tile flange. Nothing else will really keep the water out from behind the walls and of the floor if you use the tub as a shower also. |

Liverpool have reportedly come in with an offer of €25m to trigger Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa's release clause.
The Reds, who are fighting to keep hold of Luis Suarez, are reported in England today as having made an offer for Atleti's Brazilian-capped forward.
Believed to be at €25m, the bid has apparently triggered the player's buyout clause and has the Premier League side awaiting a response from Vicente Calderon officials.
Liverpool are believed confident that the 24-year-old would be open to the switch, with fellow Brazilians Lucas Leiva and Philippe Coutinho on their books.
Atleti have lost Radamel Falcao this summer to Monaco and brought in David Villa. The capital club are seen as currently only prepared to dip back into the market for a midfielder.

There are plenty of news organizations that make social media options immediately available, of course, such as BBC News, GlobalPost, The Times of India, Univision, Politico, Le Monde, and The Moscow Times. And some information providers are, lo, adopting new ways to be both informative and social. The Guardian, which itself has a sturdy sharing platform, recently reported on a new MTV app that will live stream programs and allow users to chat with other viewers during the experience. An app with limited content will be free, and a paid application will offer premium content, both of which will initially launch in seven European countries.
Bob Garfield, co-host of NPR's On the Media, wrote in his book The Chaos Scenario that we are in "The Listenomics Age If you do not listen [to audiences] carefully, you are a fool. Not because the crowd is a threat (although, of course, it is) but because it is your greatest resource." Garfield goes on to extol the importance for digital content providers to learn "the art and science of cultivating relationships with individuals in a connected, increasingly open-source environment."
"The mindful use of digital media doesn't happen automatically," wrote Howard Rheingold in his book Net Smart, to be published this month. "[T]hose who understand the fundamentals of digital participation will be able to exert more control over their own fates than those who lack this lore."

Beauty, Grace and Diabetes
Zippora Karz Controls BGs and Danced With the NYC Ballet
Many little girls dream of someday becoming professional ballerinas, dancing with the grace of a swan, in the spotlight before thousands. Ballerina Zippora Karz, 35, is proof that diabetes doesn't stop dreams and goals from being reached.
"If you have a love for something, diabetes will not stop you," she said. "You need to put the care, effort and attention into it to take care of yourself-_and then you can do it."
The recently retired ballerina looked back on her 16-year world-class career and recalled how she overcame the difficulties of managing both type 1 diabetes and a demanding career that kept her busy around the clock.
An Extraordinary Talent
Zippora started studying dance when she was 7, in her hometown of Northridge, California. By the time she was 15, the teachers noticed her extraordinary talent and helped Zippora make it to the New York City Ballet School of American Ballet. At 18, she was invited to join the New York City Ballet-one of the most prestigious ballet companies in the world.
Before Zippora even knew she had type 1 diabetes, she was dancing in demanding lead roles, including "The Nutcracker," "Swan Lake," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Apollo," "Agon" and "Symphony in C." Her career as a professional ballerina progressed from apprentice to becoming a member of corps de ballet. Zippora reached the ultimate goal when she was promoted to soloist with the New York City Ballet, touring the United States, Europe and Japan.
Along Comes Diabetes
It was during this busy period that Zippora started noticing symptoms of frequent urination and excessive thirst. She continued her daily routine: taking classes in the morning, rehearsing for six hours, going upstairs to put on make up and doing about three ballets.
At 21, however, Zippora was diagnosed with diabetes. She now had to fit the two extremes together in a carefully choreographed life routine.
"Life was so busy," she said. "I really denied it at first. I was being pushed into a lot of solo and leading roles after just two years with the company. I had a lot of core roles, and at the same time a ballet was being choreographed by a director that would feature me."
The difficult reality of taking daily insulin injections and blood sugar tests presented a stark contrast to her childhood ballerina dreams. But she soon realized that if she continued caring for her body she could do anything _ even live the fast-paced life of a famous ballerina.
"You do that every day," said Zippora, who recently retired but has just as much passion now for teaching ballet. "It's like a marathon runner, but it doesn't just stop after one ballet."
Zippora was willing to do whatever it took to help her body deal with its new situation so it would not affect her career.
"There was no way that anything was going to stop me from where I was headed in my career," she recalls. "Everything in my life was focused on dancing."
Testing Nine Times Per Day
Zippora's daily routine changed to include blood sugar testing every hour or two:
9 a.m.-Wake up. Test. Take insulin, eat and get ready for morning dance class at 10:30.
10:30 a.m.-Another blood sugar test before class.
Noon to 6 p.m.-Rehearsal. Test every two hours, eat lunch and take insulin as needed.
6:30 p.m.-Test prior to applying make-up for the evening performance. Then off to warm-up for the performance at 7:30 p.m.
8 p.m.-Test 10 minutes before curtain.
11 p.m.-Performance is over. Test immediately after performance and take insulin.
1 a.m.-Test blood sugar and go to bed.
The key for Zippora was "not to have so many ups and downs" with blood sugar levels. In New York she lived with her grandmother, who had also been a professional dancer and loved health foods. Together they worked on meal planning.
To prevent hypoglycemia, Zippora learned to always carry dates, figs and bananas in her ballet bag. She always tested her blood sugar before performing to eliminate hypoglycemia while the curtains were open.
Success in Ballet and Diabetes Management
The key to being successful in ballet and diabetes management was testing blood sugars often, Zippora says. Keeping good control equaled feeling better for better dancing.
"The art of ballet is the delicacy of the way you use your toes, your hands and fingers," she explains, "With every nuance you have to feel your whole body. If my blood sugars were off, it would interfere with that key to have that vital connection with my body."
Diabetes didn't slow Zippora down, even as she became a famous ballerina and was seen on the television show "Dance in America's" broadcast of Balanchine's "Western Symphony". People came from all over the world to see her dance.
Nobody's Perfect
Zippora's blood sugars were not always perfect, but she tried not to blame herself. Her message to other people with diabetes is clear:
"You are only human and diabetes is very difficult. People shouldn't feel like a failure if they can't do it. The world is a difficult place, and there are high demands on people."
For kids with diabetes, she offers this advice:
"Have compassion for yourself. Try not to get upset at your body for having this disease. That was my problem. I was mad at my body for trying to stop me from where I was headed in life. It's a very difficult thing to be dealing with."
Family support also helped her manage diabetes and dancing. Because her mother, grandmother and sister all danced, they were there to help.
"My father really was amazing," Zippora said. "He's a doctor. He helped me learn more about it. My mother was also incredibly supportive."
Hanging up Her Ballet Shoes
Because of the rigorous workouts involved in dancing, Zippora decided to leave the New York City Ballet when she got injuries unrelated to diabetes.
"I wanted to leave while I was on top and absolutely loving it," she said. "I've had such an amazing experience with this. Now I love teaching as much as I loved dancing."
Zippora lead a "marathon schedule" doing what she loves for over 16 years. She now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and teaches ballet for the George Balanchine Trust, staging works for major ballet companies.
"Looking back, I see I went down the road that was right for me. I'd never have taken that road if it were not for diabetes. In some ways, a limitation is a blessing in disguise."

UK arts organisations must programme further in advance if they want to attract more private sector funding, former Royal Opera House chief executive Michael Kaiser has claimed.
Kaiser, who is now president of the Kennedy Centre in Washington, was brought over to the UK earlier this month by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to give a series of free fundraising seminars for arts organisations across the country.
Speaking to The Stage following his tour, which saw him visit Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol, Kaiser said the UK arts sector needs to plan further ahead if it wants to increase the amount of money it can generate from individuals and corporations.
He explained: "Many arts organisations are planning their art six, eight or 12 months in advance. I plan my art – the bigger projects – three, four or five years in advance, which gives me the time to find and cultivate new donors and bring them into the picture, but also to make bigger, more exciting, more surprising projects.
"One of the challenges in this country is that organisations – even some large ones – have typically gone to the same suspects [for donations] all the time. That also comes from doing your programme planning on too short a time frame.
"I just did a big festival of India. I had five years to study who was out there and cultivate new donors for that project. If I only had a year, I would go back to my same donors. I think that's a big challenge that we have to overcome."
He also stressed that while it might be harder for smaller arts organisations to attract corporate funding, it was "simply not true" that fundraising from individuals was harder for small, non-national arts organisations based outside London.
"Even for a theatre company that might have a turnover of £1.5 million a year, one can raise substantial sums. The mistake people make about fundraising is that people think it is about the rich. A vast majority of funding comes from the middle class, and a large number of donors are not going to give you £1 million or £50,000 or even £5,000. But they'll give you £50 or £100 a year. It adds up.
"The notion that you have to rely on the super-rich and you therefore have to be in London is simply not true and not true anywhere in the world."
Meanwhile, Kaiser also stressed the challenges being faced by arts organisations in the UK were the same as those being faced elsewhere – in Europe, Asia and the US – as most arts sectors shift towards a greater emphasis on private support. The Kennedy Center, he said, needs to raise $75 million from private sources.
Kaiser advised against the UK arts sector complaining too vociferously in public about funding cuts. He said: "There's an awful lot of whingeing in public by arts organisations [in the UK] and while I can sympathise with the fear – everyone who runs an arts organisation is scared in every country including my own, including me – I don't believe it's helpful for attracting funds.
"People give funds to organisations they think are healthy, the organisations they think are doing exciting work, to organisations they think are going to manage their money well. Also people come to the arts for entertainment and inspiration. Sometimes I think we forget that – it's a tendency we have to fight."
