This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
I'm probably going to hack a few people off but...
I grew up with this movie; both the theatrical release and the "Special Edition" Laserdisc. (God, I'm old) This is ALMOST my favorite movie. Having watched this movie so much and having studied all the character development in it, some might say this makes me bias. If you don't mind having dialog removed; scenes switched around; and generally questionable editing for the sake of time and new special effects, then you'll love this version. I was VERY disappointed in the "Director's Edition". Don't get me wrong. The new special effects; WONDERFUL; like the new San Francisco scene. Cleaning up the visuals; EXCELLENT. I even overlooked what he was trying to do with the music. I am, however disappointed because the director took a perfectly fine movie, (the Original "Special Edition") and BUTCHERED it. Granted, it's his movie. He can do what he wants. I just wish he'd have asked folks like me before he took a blade to it. Scenes, which gave this film such character development, were cut out. Background noise showing what might be "real life" on a Starship, edited out. The noise level in the new version is almost like a morgue. The energy and tension you feel, while the crew is preparing the Enterprise against an impossible deadline, is non-existent. The computer translation, of the Klingon language transmission at Epsilon 9, was edited out. Little shots that gave this movie feeling were edited out. Such as, the shot of Uhura, staring in disbelief at the view screen, and Kirk having to REPEAT HIMSELF to turn the, "Viewer off!" to shake her from the horror she had just witnessed, was edited out. The snip of Kirk blowing off McCoy saying, "Get out of here, Bones" was edited out. Kirk was ignoring what he'd done to get this new position. He wanted to ignore what he should face. A scene showing the absolute power Ilea, as a Deltan, has over the human male, with Sulu stumbling all over himself, was cut out. A shot of Ilea, staring longingly toward the turbo-lift door, as Sulu is trying to get her attention, was cut out. This scene showed how she was dealing with seeing Decker again, without having to utter a word. GONE. While Kirk and Bones are talking to Spock in the lounge, the Director STUCK a CGI warp engine in the background. It looks amateur. The editing on the Enterprise fly-over was poor. The editing on the V-Ger fly-over was poor. I could go on. And with ALL the stuff done to this version and the big deal made over this thing, the director still, STILL didn't fix the arm bands on Spock's and McCoy's jackets, in the last scene on the bridge. Apparently during a break in shooting, Nimoy and Kelly got their jackets mixed up. I know a FEW people who like this, but not many. Thanks.

A DVD Resurrection,
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
If ever a film benefited from being released on DVD, this is it. The movie itself is problematic. Ten years after the original series' ignominious end (let's face it, that third season left much to be desired), the cast was reunited for another romp through the cosmos. And the end result was an intellectual journey, long on special effects wizardry (at the time, the most expensive movie ever made) and short on action. Over the subsequent years, ST: The Motion Picture was denigrated as a colossal waste of time, where VHS quality diminished the awesomeness of the effects, and highlighted the dearth of story. However, with its rebirth on DVD, I have to revise my opinion. The plot and dialogue problems remain, but this is a gorgeous motion picture. Rightly revered by special effects practitioners, we can now too marvel at the technological wonders on display. Yes, CGI has produced some impressive visual films, but that perhaps is why this continues to look so good. In a day and age where CGI and fast cut editing overwhelm the senses, ST:TMP takes you, as well as Kirk and co., on a methodical symphonic journey. You simply will never see anything like this again. We are treated to some wonderful extras here as well, including footage from the abandoned Star Trek television series.
When all is said and done, this is a film worth another look, whether you're a Trek fan or not. It is moviemaking hubris on a scale that would have pleased Orson Welles or Howard Hughes. In the end, yes, it is a flawed epic, but an epic all the same.

Not Much of An Improvement Story-Wise,
By Stephen Kaczmarek "Educator, Writer, Consultant" (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
When "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" premiered in 1979, many fans of the original series were elated--and many more disappointed. The problem wasn't that the film was cheap or puny in scale, nor that it hadn't finally reunited the primary "Star Trek" cast members, some of whom hadn't been before cameras in years. Thanks mostly to "Star Wars," sci-fi fans by then had developed a ravenous taste for big-budget space opera and because the series had become more cartoonish as the 1960s wore on anyway, they now expected something that would outdo the George Lucas shoot-em-up.
What they got instead was a bold, if flawed, attempt to return things to the more serious and understated tones of "Star Trek"'s first season while simultaneously pushing the special effects envelope. And though "Star Trek" always was space opera with harder sci-fi leanings, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" mistakenly abandoned most of the space opera standards altogether--interstellar battles, "ray gun" fights, scantily-clad "moon maidens," strange and menacing aliens--in favor of an approach that was more in keeping with "2001: A Space Odyssey." The story of the revamped Enterprise's rush to stop a cloud-like entity's march toward earth became, in the end, mostly a platform for technical, not cinematic, achievement. In the years following the film's release, Director Robert Wise did not conceal his disappointment with both the movie's final cut and its critical reception, but thanks to the advent of sophisticated computer graphics, he finally got his chance to complete the film as intended two decades later. The result is a mixed bag. Certainly, the director's cut is more streamlined than its predecessor--several edits speed up the action, and even some of Jerry Goldsmith's excellent orchestrations seem faster. The reimagined special effects are, for the most part, an improvement (watch carefully, for instance, to see a shuttlecraft from the series depart the San Francisco port), though anyone expecting images on the order of "The Matrix" or the later "Star Wars" films will be disappointed. (I'm guessing the technicians had to match image quality to that of the 1979 release.) The credits definitely look better. But the major flaws of the film, including a second half that just seems to drag compared to the first, are intact. Worse, because at least one version of the film with additional footage already shows us what is possible, some of the choices of what to cut and what to keep are questionable. Gone are some great character moments like Kirk telling Bones to get out of his quarters and the computerized translation of the doomed Klingon captain (though some make it as deleted scenes on the bonus disk). Perfectly adequate sound effects, too, have been replaced by others that seem tinny, and many of these effects compete rudely with Goldsmith's score. All in all, the Director's Edition seems a tradeoff, worth viewing mostly by the diehard fan, who will also likely find the second DVD more interesting than the usual chatter and mugshots tossed into the mix.

We've Witnessed A Birth!,
This review is from: Star Trek The Motion Picture: Special Longer Version (VHS Tape)
"Star Trek The Motion Picture" is always harshly criticised for being bland and lacking in action,but that's not what
Star Trek is all about.The first Star Trek movie is a STORY- it's about an Earth space probe that merges with a machine lifeform and itself comes to life.But still it wishes to return to Earth to join with it's creator.Even if along the way 'V'Ger' destroys a few spaceships and "absorbes" two Enterprise crew members it's inttentions are good.Most of the movie revolves around the Enterprise's journey through the emmence V'ger vessel and the problems it encounters.So it's the only Trek movie that's rated G-it comes off as more dialog then action but for those with an open mind and an interest in great stories this will be for you.

Wise "completes" his film 20 plus years later,
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
To be fair, this is not a horrible film. In fact, while the original theatrical edition did have it's flaws -it was cold, and emotionaless, this DVD "director's cut" helps establish why the film only worked part of the time. Robert Wise, with 20 plus years behind him, can now look back and see his film in a different light. But, no matter what tweaking you do, you still cannot change the story, which was bland and done before. The script is weak in many area's, but that weakness could've been overlooked had the producers tried to keep the chemistry between Shatner, Nimoy and Kelly going, just like the TV series. Trek has proven that when your charatcers are more 3-dimensional, the silly story works. In The Motion Picture though, the characters are treated like estranged relatives. Had they taken the essance of the roles, as was done in Trek II, and made them what they were -friends -this movie would've worked better. The new version is slightly better, as Wise has had a chance to "finish" his film. Caught between the success of Star Wars and Paramount's aborted 4th network attempt, The Motion Picture was fast tracked to get it ready for Christmas 1979. The thing was, the script was mess, the director had not worked on such a heavy effects ladden film before and the visual effects themselves were untested. Mix these altogether, and you got what you got. The new DVD offers us some "enhanced", CGI effects. Wise gives us a detailed reason in the commentary track, on how and why these effects were added. He also goes into great detail on the point of the story, which he admits was one of the films flaws. It's brave when a director can go back and see and tell where his film went off the tracks. The film is still a snoozer, but I've always had a soft spot for this film. I don't mind the endless scenes of V'jer and the great amounts of no dialogue that goes with those scenes. Wise has almost saved his own film. And for that, I recommend this film.

Warning: Not for the weak of mind,
By Robert T. (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
This is a great Trek film, despite what most critics say. The movie does a wonderful job of linking the original show to the movie franchise that we all know and love. The special effects are outstanding, the cast performs brilliantly, and the plot is deep and interesting. Not for an audience craving hardcore action, phaser shootouts, and great battle scenes. This film takes a more intellectual position and does Star Trek a great justice. Granted, there are several scenes that invite you to just sit back and enjoy a graphically-charged sensefest, and these could have been made shorter. They don't, however, detract from the effect of this film, and I truly believe that TMP belongs in the list of greater Trek movies.

This is the edition to watch,
By Michael Rice "Michael Rice Photography" (Toronto ON CA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
Director's Edition is the one to watch for the newer special effects sequences and restored scenes and cut of the film. While certainly not as action packed as other Star Trek's, especially the newer JJ Abrams versions, this first movie of the original cast is a thinking person's Trek and makes you contemplate what it is to be human, and the value of emotion, wonder and curiosity as both Spcok and V'Ger discover.

3 Star Movie, 5 Star DVD,
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture was rushed into theaters without time to edit it, and as such, the picture CRAWLS at times. This Director's Edition completes/adds some things that were storyboarded but unable to be accomplished at the time, and is also edited by director Robert Wise. I admire the decision by the effects people to make the new effects look like they could have been accomplished in the late 70's (as opposed to modern CGI), and for the most part they succeeded. As for the editing, this is also an improvement, but the initial V'Ger flyover sequence is still approximately 10 minutes long -- that's just way too long to have to sit and watch effects shots without dialog (there may be SOME dialog, but not much). At any rate, I really enjoy the first half hour, but after that it's hit-and-miss.
As for the DVD itself, they did an excellent job. There are lots of documentaries, trailers, and TV spots, as well as all of the footage that was deleted/trimmed from the film. Well done.

Keep On Trekkin',
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
"Welcome aboard." - Admiral James T. Kirk welcomes an old, pointed eared, friend aboard The Enterprise in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"
The first of ten films in the "Trek" saga gets off to a whimper instead of a bang. An alien known as V'ger with immense energy and power is on a course for Earth, destroying and absorbing anything in its path. The only Federation ship in the vicinity is, of course, the U.S.S. Enterprise. Kirk and crew are sent to destroy the being before it reaches Earth. But, when Kirk & co. find out that V'ger is more of a sentient being with human origins than alien, the crew tries to find out what V'ger wants and why, before time runs out & Earth becomes part of V'ger. Overall the film is o.k. Most fans were excited to see Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the crew with The Enterprise up on the big screen for the first time in film history, no matter what they did (personally, I never saw the film when it was in theaters). With the cult status that the T.V. show gathered in reruns over the years since its cancellation, it was inevitable that "Star Trek" would be revived again in some form another. Originally, Paramount saw "Star Trek" as a way to start its own television network that could rival NBC, ABC, & CBS, with the new incarnation of "Trek" being its headlining show. But, with the monsterous success of "Star Wars", studios were scrambling for any script they had with a sci-fi element. 20th Century Fox immediatelly greenlighted "Alien" with Paramount taking "Star Trek" & turning into a big screen feature instead of a headlining television show. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was released for the Xmas season of 1979 with mixed reviews. The film isn't really that bad. It falls along one of the more medium, likable episodes from the series (say not as bad as the episode "Catspaw" but no where near as good as "Space Seed"). Its great to the see cast on the big screen, but, the problem is they've aged since the series, but, don't seem to act it. In other words there is no backstory to what has happened to the crew since the end of there original five year mission ("Star Trek II" handles this perfectly). The disco style uniforms with the Dick Tracy style communicators don't help either. The new 2 disc DVD edition is definitely worth looking at, for all of the new CGI work done to the film (henceforth, my four star rating to an otherwise three star film). Also, included are all of the deleted scenes that have info containing whether or not the scene was included in the original ABC broadcast, or if it was on the extended VHS edition, or if it was just plain deleted from the film itself. The trailers are a blast from the past with, known other than, Orson Welles giving the narrative to all trailers and t.v. ads. The featurettes on the making of the film and the restoration are great. If you've seen all of the other "Trek" films (and stomached "Star Trek V") then "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is worth watching.

The Human Adventure is Just Beginning,
By James S. Pratt (America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Edition) (DVD)
Let me say this... "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was what got me into Star Trek. It was the first Star Trek anything that I had ever sat down and watched. And I loved it, every minute of it. Now I have this DVD, I've watched it again, and it's elevated itself to it's position as my number one favorite movie of all time.
This film has great special effects, it's true. In fact several of them are especially impressive, especially in this day and age where movies are over-run with fakish-looking CGI crap. However it's not a "Special Effects" fest as some have claimed. Indeed, there are long moments in the film that go without showing anything extraordinary, and there's just as much, if not more, time devoted to character development and fleshing out the plot as there is Special Effects. Speaking of which, I personally found little or nothing wrong with the interaction between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. After having seen the original series, I thought their interaction was pretty spot-on. After all, Spock and McCoy don't have to bicker in EVERY scene. Finally, there is the plot and it's progression, which is the perfect audio-visual experience. I wouldn't describe the scenes as being "Dragged-out" but in some cases, suspenseful. In others, relaxing. The long instances work perfectly to convey the emotions and general tone and feeling of each individual scene. Many say these scenes are too long, but those people are just impatient. The plot advances at a rather steady pace and rewards the patient. However, the winning grace of this film is it's themes and message. It has one quality that many films, including other Trek films, totally lack: It actually makes you think with it's messages about humanity and existence, and makes us realize that there's always going to be something out there we do not know or understand. Captain Kirk and co. live in a world which is virtually perfect in every way, where mankind seems to have pretty much reached it's peak, yet in this movie they find out there's still many things they haven't seen, heard, felt, been, and probably will never be able to experience, and that humanity and all living things have just scratched the surface of their full potential. The human adventure, quite literally, is just beginning. All in all, Star Trek: The Motion Picture is aimed at those with an open and thoughtful mind. There's other Trek films for those who prefer action, but because of their different direction (which is not necessarily worse), they can't be judged by the same standards. But if you want something that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, this DVD is for you. |

Rafael Nadal's Australian Open dream lay in tatters Tuesday with the third seed crushed by Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals, but Maria Sharapova showed who's boss by slapping down Eugenie Bouchard. The out-of-sorts Spaniard, a 14-time Grand Slam champion, was never in contention against a player he had beaten the last 17 times they met stretching back to 2006. His upset win means he will face either Andy Murray or Nick Krygios for a place in the final. In contrast to his lacklustre performance, the experienced Sharapova dominated young Canadian pretender Bouchard to set up an all-Russian semi-final with dark horse Ekaterina Makarova.
WASHINGTON (AP) — An appeals court is deciding whether deputy U.S. marshals who shot and wounded a teenage driver eight years ago may be sued in federal court, a case that's unfolding amid a national debate about police use of force and the legal protections afforded to law enforcement.

In the first in a series of five Billings City Council work sessions Monday, council members heard presentations from the Parks, Recreation and Public Lands and Planning divisions as they begin to determine the 2014-15 budget.
The $277.4 million budget is about 3 percent higher than the 2013-14 budget.
City Administrator Tina Volek began the evening with an overview of the city's budget to the council.
Changing costs
Major changes to the 2014-15 budget are a result of the changing costs of personnel and other provisions for employees. More than $34 million in capital improvements is needed, she said. The fire department, police department and sanitation department also will get new vehicles.
Two new positions in streets and two in solid waste will be added, and a half-time position will be added in community development, she said.
She recommended that the council approve the 2015 budget and suggested the council bring a public safety levy to the voters so they can continue adding additional police and fire personnel and equipment as the city continues to expand. Billings' population has expanded 18 percent since 2010, according to census data.
Michael Whitaker, director of Parks, Recreation and Public Lands, requested a 6.6 percent increase to the department's budget for the fiscal 2014-15 year, bringing total expenses up to $4.6 million.
The majority of the increase will go to personnel, especially to a wage increase for seasonal employees. The increase in wages has improved the ranks of grounds crews, but he said getting enough aquatic employees will be a struggle.
Planning Division Director Candi Millar presented supplemental budget requests for the new year, including replacing a copier and printer. She also said the half-time position was to monitor more than $9 million in assets they have in their home programs.
Council member Shaun Brown expressed concern about the slim staff at code enforcement and asked Millar if the department was stressed.
Slumping revenues
In 2009, seven people were laid off from the planning department because of slumping revenues and only two have been hired back, she said.
"I have an individual on leave right now because of stress," she said. "Right now we're hanging in there."
After the Planning Division finished its presentation, councilman Ken Crouch suggested adding an item to the next council meeting agenda to discuss whether the council should buy a full-page ad for the Not in Our Town national gathering being hosted in Billings on June 20.
There was brief discussion, and several members expressed support for the initiative, but it was determined that no action could be taken Monday because it was a work session. The issue was tabled until it could be discussed at a full council meeting.
The City Council will take up the next presentations on May 13, 19 and 28. The current schedule calls for a public hearing on June 9 with possible budget adoption that same evening. In addition to that opportunity for comment, the public may comment to the City Council at the end of each work session.
Members of the public interested in the presentations given to the council can visit www.ci.billings.mt.us/finance and follow the links to each department's presentation.

Apoplexy is bleeding into an organ or loss of blood flow to an organ. For example, adrenal apoplexy is bleeding into the adrenal glands, pituitary apoplexy is bleeding into the pituitary gland, and so on.
When the word apoplexy (with no organ specified) is used alone, it often refers to stroke symptoms that occur suddenly. Such symptoms can be caused by bleeding into the brain or by a blood clot in a brain blood vessel. Conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or stroke are sometimes called apoplexy.
Functional apoplexy is when a person appears to be having stroke-like symptoms but there is no brain abnormality.

This is my newest song "Just Breathe"
I mostly create happy hardcore but I was feeling like a slow song this week. I don't usually do songs slower than 160 BPM lol. It took about 3 days.
Anyways... Not much else to write
Am I wasting my time on you?
Are you even trying to make things right?
Am I lying to myself,
To hide whats inside of me?
Just breathe...

I actually don't hate the vocals there pretty decent it does slightly take away from the song but there still pretty decent over all a decent piece of work .
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I like it except the vocals.
As "ViceOfFire" said before me, i can just agree with him. Without the vocals the song is very good.
At first the song had no vox
But it just seemed so empty. And I couldnt find anything but vocals to fix it. Sorry ):
Thanks for the review though (: And the nice juicy 9 :D
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good music, but the voocals..
I liked it all except the vocals, they really offset the experience for me.
They sound so.. Boring tbh, makes me not care about the song.
Also the hihats are a touch high for my liking.
Anyway the song is made really, really well, I just had those couple of gripes.
Good work.
Thanks for the review (:
And yes. I've been sick lately but I have to be working on music all the time and I really didnt want to wait it out to put lyrics in so I kinda made them simple and slowed the song down from 160 to 130 so I could sing to them better with my sore throat and all ):
I like that though, good or bad, its constructive criticism. Something you don't get much of on NG :/

Five Questions: Eva Baggili, 33, works in adult services at the Chicago Ridge Public Library
March 12, 2014 7:38PM
Eva Baggili, 33, works in adult services at the Chicago Ridge Public Library
What are your hobbies?
"Reading. I read mysteries, murders, thrillers. I do read a lot of fantasy sci-fi. I read everything. I read every genre. I read three to four books a week."
What do you like about Chicago Ridge?
"I love the people. I like helping them out. You get to know people working at the library. You know their lives, their children, their stories. It's nice to see how they progress in life and accomplish their goals."
Who do you follow on Twitter?
"I do follow some authors and some authors follow me. One of them is Meg Cabot. She is the author of 'The Princess Diaries' and the 'Size 12' mystery series. She started following me first. It's kind of cool."
What's the last movie you saw?
"It was 'Last Vegas.' It was hilarious. Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas and a fourth guy who's in a lot of movies (Kevin Kline). It's really funny. I could see a bunch of old guys going to Vegas, although some of the parties they threw, I don't think anybody spends that much money."
Which person from history do you want to meet?
"Actually, I'd love to meet (President) Obama to ask him what the hell is going on in Congress. I want to know why he thinks flying a drone to kill American citizens is suddenly legal. It's too late for the economy, but he's almost out of office."

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela's daughter says the South African leader has made a "dramatic" progress on the eve of his 95th birthday.
Zindzi Mandela said in an interview with Sky TV that her father may be going home soon. Mandela turns 95 on Thursday.
She said her father is watching television with headphones in his bed in a Pretoria hospital and that he smiles at family members and raises his hand.
The latest description by Zindzi — who is one of Mandela's daughters by his second wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela — is a significant improvement from court documents from the family that said he was on life support and near death.
Mandela has been in a Pretoria hospital since June 8 and officials say his condition is critical but stable.

Country missing? Please select your nearest region...
Three companies' staff were able to catch a break around noon EDT on Wednesday from carrying buckets with diesel fuel to the 17th floor of the Manhattan building that houses a Peer 1 data center.
The Lower Manhattan neighborhood of New York City has been without power since Monday evening, when Con Edison (the local utility) shut off electrical services to protect its infrastructure and customers' equipment from damage by Hurricane Sandy.
ConEd said today it expected to power Manhattan back up within three days. Peer 1's data center at 75 Broad St., however, may not have that much time.
"As we've said before, this situation is untenable," a status update posted around noon by Squarespace, one of Peer 1's tenants involved in fuel delivery to the backup generator, read. "We can't keep manpower going 24/7 for days."
The "fuel brigades", as the Squarespace blogger called them, were running fuel upstairs manually because flooding had submerged reserve fuel tanks in the basement and damaged pumps that would normally deliver fuel to the backup generator.
The brigades consisted of Peer 1 and Squarespace employees, as well as the software company Fog Creek, also a tenant at the facility. Squarespace's core product is a web publishing platform.
Around 5pm, Peer 1 was hard at work installing a pump system to the 17th floor, according to a status update from Fog Creek. By this time, several hundred gallons of spare fuel had been delivered to the 17th floor in addition to a full tank.
Squarespace said they were "cautiously optimistic" that the pumping system being installed would start pumping fuel upstairs by the end of Thursday or Friday morning.
"Water is being successfully pumped from the basement at a rate of one foot per hour," read a 5pm update from Squarespace. "Fifteen feet of water remain.
"We have increasing confidence that we may avoid downtime."
Enough people have signed up to form a big bucket brigade expected to start running up and down the stairs at midnight.
Another data center services provider at this location is Internap, which has been working together with Peer 1 to ensure trucks deliver enough fuel. Unlike Peer 1, Internap data center in the building did not manage to ride through the Monday-evening flood.
"As a result of the flooding, both our redundant fuel pumps and our generator fuel tank were compromised and shut down," senior VP of development and operations at Internap, wrote in a blog post. "The system continued to run until all fuel within the secondary feeder tanks [was] exhausted, and our facility lost power."
In an update posted Wednesday, Orchard said the data center was back up but did not mention how long of a downtime window it had gone through.
Internap's other New York City data center, located in a massive Google-owned building that houses data centers, network infrastructure and office space at 111 8th Ave. went down Tuesday night. Orchard said this outage was also caused by a malfunctioning fuel system.
"When the issue occurred, the fuel pumps could not provide diesel to the rooftop generators, causing them to stop supplying power to our UPS system," he wrote. This data center was also back online on Wednesday.

You can test questionable vintage bakelite pieces with ease, the pad is simply rubbed onto the piece and if a nicotine colored stain appears the test is positive. The only true test for red and black bakelite naturally is the hot water test. These great little bakelite testing pads can be used over and over, this 2 inch square pad can last a very long time.

Although there was a slight fall in the number of lawyers and fee earners employed by Channel Islands-headquartered Ogier last year, with the firm reporting four fewer lawyers in 2013 than in 2012, it added three partners, including one in its equity. This led to a reduction in the firm's leverage from 4.8 lawyers per equity partner to 4.5.
Strategically, Ogier sent the two lawyers it had based in London back to Jersey, including global corporate head Simon Dinning. Lawyers are now flying in and out of London as needed. Ogier argued that London is close enough to its HQ in Jersey, where almost half of its lawyers are based, that it does not need anyone there permanently.
The decision was followed in early 2014 by a much bigger strategic move, when the firm divested its fiduciary business in a management buyout by Ogier Fiduciary Services' (OFS's) partners, with an enterprise value of £180m. The sale saw private equity company Electra Partners invest £83m into OFS. While the law firm and OFS will share premises and, for a period, branding, effectively the move means Ogier, like Walkers before it, is now focusing wholly on law.
The divestment has naturally taken up much of the firm's time in recent months, but the scene is now set for future investment. Group chief executive officer (CEO) Nick Kershaw is taking the role of global managing partner and regional managing partner for Europe, while legal CEO James Bergstrom becomes regional managing partner for Asia and the Caribbean. The rest of the management structure is now focused more on sector than practice area lines.
The coming year will see Ogier focus on service delivery, with plans to create a new IT system, effectively starting from scratch, according to Kershaw. In the future, Ogier is likely to add to its partner count, to bring that high leverage and partner-to-associate ratio closer to the sector average.

noun \ˈmis-əl-ˌtō, chiefly British ˈmiz-\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of MISTLETOE
: any of various parasitic or semiparasitic plants (family Loranthaceae, the mistletoe family) that have thick leathery mostly opposite and sometimes scaly leaves and include some formerly used in preparations with oxytocic, antispasmodic, or heart-stimulating properties: as a : a European semiparasitic green shrub (Viscum album) having somewhat poisonous leaves, stems, and waxy-white glutinous berries that have been used in folk medicine b : any of various American plants (genus Phoradendron and especially P. serotinum synonym P. flavescens) resembling the true mistletoe of Europe

V. album, the traditional mistletoe of literature and Christmas celebrations, is found throughout Eurasia. This yellowish evergreen bush (2–3 ft, or 0.6–0.9 m, long) droops on the branch of a host tree. The thickly crowded, forking branches bear small leathery leaves and yellowish flowers, which produce waxy-white berries containing poisonous pulp. A modified root penetrates the bark of the host tree and forms tubes through which water and nutrients pass from the host to the slow-growing but persistent parasite. The North American counterpart is P. serotinum. Mistletoe was formerly believed to have magical and medicinal powers, and kissing under hanging mistletoe was said to lead inevitably to marriage.

Midwest Living Review
Revolution Brewing has carved out its home in Chicago's less-than-hoity Logan Square neighborhood, and it's a fitting location for a brewpub that's taken on the theme of power to the working people. It's on Milwaukee Avenue, one of a handful of diagonal streets that crosses the city, just north of Fullerton Avenue. Easy to get to from downtown or off the Kennedy Expressway, the neighborhood has more than its share of crime. If you arrive early-ish, say before 7:30 or so, you should be able to find nearby street parking, but it gets dicey after that. Then again, part of what's cool about this area is that it feels like the real Chicago -- taco places, plumbing businesses, secondhand stores. Mixed in are newer places, including a lot of condos. The neighborhood is going to change, just like Wicker Park and Bucktown did, but it's going to take time. You won't be paying workingman prices here, but the bar/restaurant's original and well-prepared food and homemade beer justify the $5 pint and $12 sandwich prices. We like that they offer such stick-to-your-ribs fare as stew and lentils and put a new twist on old favorites by adding honey-jalapeno slaw to their smoked pulled-pork sandwich and cremini mushrooms and shallots to their burgers. There's lots of vegetarian fare, too, including a really original veggie burger with baby spinach, roasted beets, horseradish cream, organic egg.They brew 25 beers over the course of the year and have as many as eight or nine on tap at any given time. We can highly recommend the Bottom Up Belgian Wit, a extremely smooth ale with a nice touch of orange.

Man Utd V Chelsea at Old Trafford : Match Preview
Carrick: City are not the only threatMichael Carrick has dismissed the notion that the Premier League is already a two-horse race.With the two Manchester clubs both recording 100% starts from their opening four games, scoring 33 goals between them in the process, some pundits have already written off the chasing pack.Ahead of Sunday's Old Trafford showdown with Chelsea, Carrick does not believe that is the smartest move.Under new coach Andre Villas-Boas, the Blues are only two points behind, recording three straight wins since drawing their opening match at Stoke.And Carrick feels it would be folly to dismiss the Stamford Bridge outfit."I don't think it is a two-horse race by any means," the 30-year-old said."We can't get carried away with it just being us and City."If you remember the start Chelsea had last season, everyone said they were going to win it. Obviously that didn't happen."We are playing well and we are top of the league. But we still respect the other teams for the threat they pose to us."Chelsea are not lacking in motivation.They had tended to have the better of their meetings with United, including scoring a controversial victory over their old rivals at Stamford Bridge in March after which Sir Alex Ferguson ended up with a five-match touchline ban for criticising the performance of referee Martin Atkinson.With none of his injured stars ready to return other than Rio Ferdinand, who was rested for the midweek draw with Benfica, Ferguson will give careful consideration to his starting line-up.With Chris Smalling seemingly certain to start at right-back, Jonny Evans and Phil Jones are scrapping it out for the right to partner Ferdinand.Anderson will return in central midfield, where he will be paired with either Carrick, Darren Fletcher or this week's goalscoring hero Ryan Giggs, who tends not to play two games in a row but was instrumental in those previous Chelsea triumphs.Park Ji-sung is another big-game player, although it is hard to see how Nani or Ashley Young could be excluded and Ferguson revealed yesterday that Javier Hernandez will be named in attack alongside Wayne Rooney.Andre Villas-Boas has insisted Chelsea are as determined to blood youngsters as Manchester United but admitted his Blues Babes would have to wait to take on the latest batch of Fergie Fledglings.Villas-Boas takes his side to Old Trafford tomorrow to face a United team that has made a record-breaking start to the Barclays Premier League.Their achievement is all the more remarkable considering most of their starting XI are in their early 20s, with manager Sir Alex Ferguson once again putting his faith in the next generation.Last year saw Chelsea attempt to do the same but their decision to jettison a raft of experienced players ultimately backfired when injuries struck.The summer departure of several youngsters suggested that experiment might have been abandoned but most of the signings made by new boss Villas-Boas have been teenagers, even if they have been used sparingly."They will come eventually," said the Portuguese, who has given minutes to Romelu Lukaku and Oriol Romeu this season but not yet Josh McEachran."Josh will find a place in a competitive midfield eventually, and Josh understands that."Oriol played well for 10 minutes against Sunderland, Lukaku against Norwich."I don't think it's harder for them. It's just the way our squad is built at the moment."Villas-Boas, who has repeatedly been forced to defend players at the opposite end of the age spectrum, added: "I have no problem, and I cannot have problems, with age. Because it's just competence that I'm looking for."The one Chelsea youngster who really has made the breakthrough this season is Daniel Sturridge.After missing the Blues' first three games through suspension, the 22-year-old has been hugely impressive in back-to-back starts and looks certain to keep his place tomorrow.Villas-Boas said: "He's been doing tremendously well, scoring and assisting people."He's a player who is able to express himself freely in the game, and exploit the full potential that he has."If you asked him, he'd feel more comfortable as a striker, but I think he has potential playing in a wide position."That's what we're trying to find in him the freedom to play in the channels."Juan Mata, who is only 23, has been just as impressive on the opposite flank.Villas-Boas said of the #23million signing from Valencia: "When you find a player who comes from such a different league as Spain to this one - this one is more frenetic and faster - and see him express his talent, as well as he did in the Spanish league, it's something surprising."
