I have always found the guys at CWCS to be on the ball. The value in a service provider such as CWCS is in how they respond to issues. They are first class in this respect. You speak with a human being that can also understand your accent. Strangely this is important when calling from Glasgow, Scotland. I woudl recommend CWCS as a servcie provider of good ethics and great service. … Read Full Review

Not being a computer boffin, I was very pleased with the support I had getting my Website up and running.

I have been an IT professional since 1982, I used to be a third-level support technician (a real backroom boffin) and I am still a developer, so I know my onions so to speak! Having hosted a VERY serious web site since 1993 which does over 2 million page views every month I have used many hosting companies over the years, both in the UK and abroad, shared, virtual and dedicated. I currently have a dedicated Linux server with CWCS which I have been renting for over three years. During that… Read Full Review

As a Microsoft Certified systems engineer running my own company I support customers using other hosting companies some providers are better than others nevertheless CWCS delivers what it says it does on the box every time and quickly. The best part of CWCS service - no nonsense customer support, efficient and polite you really cannot ask for any more. Naturally I use CWCS myself and I recommend my customers do so as well… Read Full Review

I am a developer, and so my dealings with CWCS are on behalf of my clients. So I haven't paid CWCS a penny - but I get the service that any paying customer would be very happy with. The response times for support requests are usually very fast indeed. Most issues are dealt with in just a few minutes, or even less! Unlike other hosting companies that I have dealt with, CWCS don't just sign-post you to a "Knowledgebase" article - they actually provide you with the information you need, or… Read Full Review

We have only recently cut over our services from a US based hosting company providing us service through a 3rd party useless intermediary (aka reseller). The process was professionally handled by CWCS, their staff are actually on call 24/7 as stated and frankly speaking its refreshing to be able to speak with someone who has the proper level of technical know how to assist. One downside since our cut over has been the inundation of spam emails we have been getting, which I'm hoping CWCS will… Read Full Review

I'm just a private individual who likes to have his own web site. Somehow, my website became compromised and was listed by search engines as dangerous. Extra code had somehow found it's way to my home (index) page pointing to a Russian site which wanted to install a root kit exploit. I'm no expert, but very security concious. My email to support was responded to in less than an hour and my issues investigated promptly and as a matter of urgency. My problems were resolved and I am reassured… Read Full Review

We have beena customer of CWCS for over ten years. At the start they were very good, support was helpful and we were happy with the service. Over the past three years this has deteriated greatly. They are hard to reach by phone, any dept billing or support. Support calls are not answered and when you are a reseller this matters as your client is chasing you. I would say if you want hosting to resell then go elsewhere, we are moving ours as this service is now so bad… Read Full Review

Many thanks for posting this review of your experience of CWCS, it is a shame that you have remained anonymous as I would have liked the opportunity to address your dissatisfaction against the services we offer here at CWCS personally. However in response I would like to stipulate that we as a company look to deliver excellent customer service and allow the customer to really appreciate the fantastic personal experience at all times. I find it hard to accept that we are hard to reach by phone, we have a 24/7/365 manned operation based here in the UK and whilst I appreciate that there can be times when the call volumes can be high, we monitor this on a daily basis. We have introduced new methods of contacting our support team which now include free calls via Skype and you only have to read the other reviews which are not anonymous and hopefully give a true reflection of our services. If however the person who wrote the review would be prepared to make themselves known, then please email me directly email@example.com and as stated I will look into and address any issues you have personally.
Kind regards

I think that the knowledge there is someone around 24/7 gives the security and confidence we needed and CWCS have certainly proved they are there whenever we need them. We've had email responses within 10 minutes and problems solved within that time at 3am!

I have used CWCS for web hosting for 5 years, after trying 6 other suppliers over the previous 2 years. I host 16 websites for clients. I have stayed with them because although there have been a few problems, their support system has always been clear about when the problems would be solved, so I have been able to be clear with my clients. This has removed the burden of uncertainty from my relationships and not a single client has left over the period. They have also been very helpful in… Read Full Review

I am very ignorant of how to use website writing expert systems, but CWCS were great. I had inherited two website addresses that required redirection from the free Website builder that I was using to the .org.uk addresses.

About StampCollectingBlog.com
I'm Keijo Kortelainen, the 'ordinary stamp collector' behind all the stories of Stamp Collecting Blog. I'm a 39 years old family man, small business owner (B2B services on web technologies & online marketing), and above all, a stamp collector from central Finland.
I have collected stamps since the mid 1980's – sometimes more, sometimes less passionately. Like most collectors I have started by collecting the world, but then specialized to my own country (Finland)… After few years I switched back to collecting worldwide stamps, as it is simply much more fun. These days I collect all countries and eras – from classics to recent issues. Also my wife's a worldwide collector (but as she's not that much into web, blogging and computers as I, all you get in this blog is me, me, me… :lol:). If interested, You can take a look of our collection here.
If you want to get in touch with me, just leave a comment / message to some blog entry and I will response you in one way or another… You can also get in touch with me trough StampBoards.com, FaceBook, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn and several other online communities.
About Stamp Collecting Blog
I started Stamp Collecting Blog in late January 2009 when I was having hard times with my health (I have Ulcerative Colitis, which can be a nasty bugger at times).
This is my personal blog about a hobby I love, without any time lines or goals… I do updates when (and if) I have the time, or a good story to share.
Over the years the blog has grown into somewhat popular meeting place for stamp collectors around the world. If You are interested of advertising here, please read more about available solutions for advertisers as well advertising rates.

Athlete Profile
Athlete: Kelly Clark
How I Eat
I weigh and measure my food
I eat Paleo, include dairy, and cheat every now and then. I definitely love my milk, especially right after workouts. I also allow myself to cheat the Paleo diet fairly often, but in small amounts, never in full meals. I stay Paleo because I feel better and perform at a higher level when my body gets what it needs, but my sweet tooth likes a few crackers or some coconut milk ice cream every now and then ;) Just started measuring food. It is actually pretty convenient because I waste less food having exact amounts on hand, and I feel great being more balanced with my nutrients.
How I Train
I workout mostly at a CrossFit Affiliate
I write my own programming
I record my workouts
GO LIFEWORX! I pretty much use a mish-mash of programming. We have some great coaches at Lifeworx, and I tend to write my own program by taking things I like from a lot of different people and places. I am constantly picking up new ideas from my fellow coaches and other area specialists. I take my lifting program from Shaun Eagan. Cat Ramirez can always be counted on for a dirty WOD. My gymnastics training comes from Mike Lorenzen, a former Lifeworx member and gymnastics coach. Troy Stinson is usually up for being a workout buddy and coming up with something fun on the fly. I love our Lifeworx family and I feel like I am always learning something from everyone!
My Athletic Background
I played youth or high school level sports
I played college sports
I was a competitive soccer player most of my life. Halfway through high school I switched to water polo and played for a year at the University of Michigan. I have a long history of injuries with sports, and have always felt like I was fighting my own body to compete. As soon as I found CrossFit my body started to change. All the imbalances from sport specific and repetitive movement training were corrected. I am now stronger, faster, and healthier than I've ever been. As a coach, I now use CrossFit methodology in an injury prevention program for high school athletes. If only I new then what I know now...!
My Experience With CrossFit
I began CrossFit with a coach (e.g. at an affiliate)
I have completed the CrossFit Level 1 certificate course
I have had a life changing experience due to CrossFit
I train other people
I came across CrossFit by chance in 2010, looking for something to do to stay fit after college. I loved it right away. The concept, the workouts, the community....it was everything I could ever want in a sport. It wasn't in my plan (I was a political science major!), but CrossFit slowly just took over my life. I am now a full time coach and trainer and I love it! I can't imagine doing anything different with my life, or being anywhere else but here with the people and the community that I love!
My Work/Rest Schedule
I do multiple workouts in a day 2x a week
I strictly schedule my rest days
I typically rest 4 or more days per month
Rest is important to me. My body does not like to over-train. I take my rest days seriously, and listen to my body. About once a month I'll even take an extra day off just to recharge.
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
2-4 years
Just over 3 years now. I've competed the last two years for Team Lifeworx. Now I want to find out what I can do as an individual! I've always been a team sport athlete, so going solo is a whole new game for me. Yikes! :-)

And the winner of the 2011 Oscar for Best Picture is… True Grit. Oh sorry, I was future-writing again. The Coen Brother's True Grit hasn't won any awards yet (nor has it been filmed or finished casting) but Paramount is showing a lot of faith by setting the remake up for a Christmas Day release.Jeff Bridges is set to star as Rooster Cogburn, the drunken U.S. Marshal originally played by John Wayne, as he teams up with a 14-year old girl to avenge her father's murder. Matt Damon and Josh Brolin are also on board as a Texas Ranger and the murderer respectively. There's a lot of talent involved here and it looks like a definite contender even this far out.Bridges has a good shot at finally winning his Oscar this year with Crazy Heart. So who knows? Maybe next year the role will bring him Oscar glory like it did for Wayne. Then he'll become a member of the back-to-back winner's club. A club that hosts Luise Rainer, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Jason Robards, Tom Hanks, and Zac Efron. Sorry. Future-writing again. (Variety)
We all know January movies suck. That's why it's so surprising and notable when a decent one gets through the first month of the year, let alone a downright good one. So maybe this is like rating the top 10 dictators less evil than Hitler, but since we're stuck in January for another two weeks it's at least nice to remember that there's still hope for good movies. And I'm not talking about the Oscar movies that go wide in January or foreign movies that happen to get their U.S. release in January. I'm talking about movies intended to open in January that somehow turned out well.10. Hostel
After creative differences with Sam Raimi ground Spider-Man 4 to a halt, Sony decided to salt the earth and start over with a new story and a new director, one they could push around. (500) Days of Summer's Marc Webb is that guy!Webb is signed on to get bullied by the studio for one film with an option to do more if he's a good little bitch. From Webb:"I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to 'take over' from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I'm here because there's an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man."After releasing this statement, Columbia chairman Amy Pascal said, "Good boy, Marc," before patting him on the head and giving him a juicebox.

All right Screen Junkies, time to put on your 3D glasses and get ready to witness the mayhem of Piranha 3D. In this trailer you'll see the — what's that? You don't have 3D glasses? Well, you're supposed to be ready at all times. These are the post-Avatar days we're living in afterall.For those of you who did come prepared, please enjoy this blurry look at a sh*tty movie that tries to sell you on the combined star power of Elisabeth Shue and Jerry O'Connell. Last week we heard it has had its release date pushed back maybe indefinitely. Moreover, if it does ever come out, word is it won't be in 3D anymore. But hey, BOOBIES!!!And on a sidenote, how are you going to make a movie about piranha where a guy on a jet ski rolls under the water's surface and doesn't emerge as a skeleton? That's just lazy filmmaking. (Pajiba)Check out the trailer with the little scary fishies after the jump…
Your obsession with Jennifer Connelly began back when she starred alongside a creepy (normal) David Bowie in Labyrinth. Since then it has grown with each passing film, and even though the quality of Jennifer's work has gone downhill since she won her Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, you still love her unconditionally. By the way, I project my infatuations. A word from Jennifer: "It's just funny looking back at yourself walking and talking at age 14."Someone's a late bloomer, Jennifer… I was already hearing about this thing people were doing called "sex" by 14. Check out more pics of Jennifer's blooming after the jump.
The "Reverse Na'vi-girl" has already been perfected. Someone over at Hustler had the brilliant idea to turn the second (soon maybe first) most profitable movie of all time into a porno. Give that man a promotion! In addition to Hustler, he must have an endless subscription to DUH!!!!!! Magazine.The nakey, sweaty, blue-smeary version of Avatar will be called This Ain't Avatar XXX, and it's just one of a few forthcoming porn parodies from Hustler. They also plan to "produce" This Ain't Curb Your Enthusiasm XXX, This Ain't Glee XXX, and This Ain't CSI XXX: Chatsworth. Another genius must by scribbling these names down feverishly in the titling department.In fact, the titles are confusing and misleading altogether. Is this NOT Avatar XXX? Does that mean it's just the Avatar without all the moaning and thrusting? If I'm browsing the shelves of my favorite adult bookstore for the latest Avatar porn why would I want to buy the one called This AIN'T Avatar XXX? I want This IS Avatar XXX. I want the IS! All of the blue, long-tailed, pointy-earred filthy IS they can crame into one poorly executed film! Just don't give it to me in 3D. My senses aren't prepared for that onslaught… (Empire)
Today we have a first look at MacGruber, courtesy of this red-band trailer. Will Forte displays a swagger that is as equal parts Richard Dean Anderson as it is David Hasselhoff. Looks like a fun movie. It's filled with danger, intrigue, explosions, and Upper-Deckers. Just like one of Michael Bay's house parties.On a sidenote, did Val Kilmer hire Steven Seagal's stylist and Kirstie Alley's trainer? Rumor is that they needed the jaws of life to get him out of his trailer every morning.Check out the age-restricted red band trailer at here.MacGruber stunt-rolls in to theaters April 23rd, 2010.
Last year's low-budget horror hit Paranormal Activity has been greenlit for a sequel. But how do you make a sequel to such a stripped-down film who's genius was found in it's simplicity? You hire a director known for their heavy-handed and overwrought filmmaking style.Saw VI's Kevin Greutert has been brought on board by Paramount to water down the scares and crank up the third-tier rap rock. Greutert was editor on all of the Saw movies and apprentice editor on Ernest Scared Stupid so we should be in really capable hands. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on October 22nd, 2010, which leaves little time. Somebody get a Godsmack cover-band on the phone!! (THR)

You know it's a slow news day when I've got to break out Whiplash the Monkey Cowboy. The news today is all last night's Golden Globes, Christina Hendricks's globes, and vague tabloid rumors. Here's a round-up of everything that probably isn't going to happen in the world of entertainment.Tobey Maguire is Bilbo Baggins – He's denied the rumor before but now that Spidey 4 is dead, some say that Tobey Maguire will be cast in The Hobbit. But those people are British, therefore liars. (The Sun)Robert Pattinson is Spider-man – Robert Pattinson (or R-Patz as I refuse to call him) is tabloid fodder created merely to give young girls and Adam Shankman something to talk about. The studio-controlled Spider-man reboot will be undoubtedly mishandled but I doubt it's going the Tiger Beat route. (Star Pulse)Wes Craven Might Not Direct 'Scream 4' – Come on, Wes. David Arquette NEEDS you. (MTV)Sigourney Weaver Hints at 'Avatar' Sequel Involvement – After all the crap she's put out there about Ghostbusters 3, you need a PKE-style Bullsh*t Meter to corroborate her stories. (MTV)
The attractiveness of castmembers for Martin Campbell's upcoming Green Lantern is no longer in jeopardy. Reports last week that Jackie Earle Haley was the front-runner for the role of Sinestro have been debunked by the director. MTV asked Campbell about the Haley casting rumor and he responded,"What? No. That ugly old thing?? No way. I'd sooner cast that hulk from Precious."Well, he didn't exactly say that. But he totally wanted to. You can tell. Check it out."No. That's completely wrong. In fact, we're in negotiations with Mark Strong to play Sinestro. He's not only a wonderful actor, but he looks like Sinestro. If you look up old pictures of Sinestro, he's very like him. The Jackie Earle Haley thing, somebody told me about it this morning; I had never heard it before in my life."Mark Strong is on a hot streak. Between Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass, and Green Lantern (and rumored sequels), he'll be Hollywood's official villian (behind Jeff Zucker). Somewhere, Andy Garcia weeps. (MTV)
Leo DiCaprio is on the hunt for Salvador Dali in this new pic from Christopher Nolan's Inception. I don't know if that's what's officially happening, but since Inception and LOST both choose to give us NOTHING before their premieres I only have my ridiculous assumptions to go on. In an interview with the L.A. Times, Christopher Nolan said that Inception was a larger endeavor than The Dark Knight, filming in no less than six countries. I'm guessing the above pic was taken in China, because I've never been there and I like to imagine China looks like a melted oil painting. Christopher Nolan went on to say, "I think we've put a lot of different things into the pot with this one. I grew up watching James Bond films and loving those and watching spy movies with their globe-trotting sensibility." The L.A. Times describes the film's premise as corporate espionage by way of dream invasion. Sweet. It's like John Grisham rewriting The Firm totally baked. Now if only he'd rewrite A Time to Kill while under the influence. Matthew McCaughnehey's character would be TOTALLY the same.
"Maybe swinging by Taco Bell before the show was a mistake on my part."Last night at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, host Ricky Gervais talked about his penis and helped hand out some statues. Avatar won for Best Motion Picture Drama and Best Director. Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow dominated for their work on Dexter. The Hurt Locker walked away empty-handed. Maybe the film will have better luck at The Academy Awards where the winners are based on merit, not studio checkbooks. *almost keeps a straight face*CHECK OUT THE FULL LIST OF WINNERS AFTER THE JUMP…
Somehow streams of daylight make Predators look…less horrifying. Here are a few shots from the Robert Rodriquez written and produced sequel Predators. The film is directed by Nimrod Antal, and stars Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, and Walton Goggins. I hope once the sun slips behind the horizon the Predators above take on a more if-I-ever-came-face-to-face-with-one-of-these-things-I'd-sh*t-my-pants-instantly look.Predators hits theaters July 7th, 2010.

Somebody on the Nobel Committee please rush an award to this picture.While discussing the unnecessary DVD release of Smoking Aces 2, Joe Carnahan hinted to UGO that Mr. T may indeed appear in his upcoming The A-Team. This is, of course, contrary to earlier reports.UGO: Why isn't Mr. T. doing a cameo? Joe Carnahan: I don't know that he's not, brutha, I don't know that he's not! That book is not yet closed. Benedict and Schultz are in it, the thing with T is that he's very vocal that he didn't want to play anyone other than B.A..This leaves us wondering what roles the cast of the television series will play in the film. Will Mr. T play B.A. Baracus's hyperactive, feather-earring wearing father? Or perhaps they'll go the Star Trek route and he'll play the future version of B.A. that Face meets in an ice cave after nearly being eaten by a bizarre, vagina-faced ice monster. Either one makes sense. (UGO)
There's a batch of new photos for The A-Team online. Here's a list of things peculiar/wrong with the picture above:1.) Rampage's eyeline.2.) Green-screen FAIL.3.) Videogame tanks.4.) This was filmed on the set of MacGruber.5.) Rampage's eyeline.This does not bode well for Rampage's acting skills. He can't even look at the same sh*t everyone else is looking at. The craft services guy must be carrying around a tray of mini quiches. (via Coming Soon)CHECK OUT THE REST OF THE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
Katherine Boecher has made a few guest appearances on TV shows, most notably playing Lilith on two episodes of Supernatural. She's one of those hot actresses you see pop up every now and again, and then fade away into a see of day-players.A word from Katherine: "Who wakes up and thinks, 'Next week I'm going to be fighting Jackie Chan.'"I do every day, Katherine. Every. Day.Wake up and think about the pics after the jump instead.
"Don't look like much." Truer words were never spoken.Ah, it wouldn't be winter without a crappy video-game adaptation. From Dwight H. Little, the director who brought you Halloween 4 and Anacondas, and Alan B. McElroy, the writer of Spawn and The Marine, comes TEKKEN! Why'd they hire those guys? Is it supposed to be intentionally bad so that nerds will attend monthly Tekken midnight screenings and throw things at the screen? If so, why are they trying to round up all the nerds?? And who's going to clean up all those chop sticks off the theater floor? (Teaser-Trailer)Witness the opus after the jump…
Can you believe it's already 2010? When we used to think about that number, it seemed like a year far off in the future. So did a lot of other years when sci-fi writers and filmmakers set their stories in the future. Here are some of the best sci-fi years that didn't turn out as planned, and looking ahead some speculation about where we're going.1984 (Set in 1984)
Last week we reported that the Farrelly Brothers would bang out a quick Owen Wilson comedy while waiting for their Three Stooges project to work out its kinks over at MGM. Hall Pass tells the story of a man in a dull marriage who is granted a one-week furlough by his wife to sleep with as many women as he wants. Today comes news that underrated hot chick The Office's Jenna Fischer will play Wilson's wife. Things get complicated in the relationship when Fischer begins to exercise her own "hall pass" priveleges. The movie begins production Feb. 23 in Atlanta, which will substitute for New England. Because if there's one thing that New England is known for, it's their Coca-Cola plant and black people. (THR)
House and Tron Legacy star Olivia Wilde, like many celebrities, has taken to Twitter to drum up support for the earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Olivia has pledged to send a personalized 'thank you' video to anyone generous enough to donate $200 or more to Artists for Peace and Justice's Haiti campaign. Wilde tweets:"Its worse every minute guys, so we are raising the stakes. Those who give $200 or more will get a personal thank you video… THANK YOU for your donation, OF ANY AMOUNT. they are all crucial. "I swear to you that every dollar is going directly to the Haitians who need it most. THANK YOU."Other celebrities such as Wyclef Jean, Tiger Woods, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Ben Stiller, Jessica Alba, and Heroes' Jimmy Jean-Louis and Zachary Quinto, have urged fans to donate via Twitter and their own charity programs.See?! That's how you do it, Sarah McLachlan. You don't need to bum us out with suicidal animals to get your point across. Just be frank and to the point and send us videos of Olivia Wilde.You can donate to the Artists for Peace and Justice here. Or you can pledge $10 to the Red Cross by texting "HAITI" to 90999.
Jennifer Beals is best known for moving her feet really quickly in Flashdance to that Michael Sembello song. She's also the only cast member in Showtime's the The L Word who won't get naked for her lesbian love scenes. Boooo! Do it for the art!A word from Jennifer: "Making sure that when my child went to school people were enlightened enough not to torture them, you know?"They're just enlightened enough to scare your kid into telling you they're not torturing him. Kids these days are a whole new breed of monster.Enlighten yourself with more pics after the jump.
This cast is really shaping up.Earlier this week, Blake Lively was cast as the 22-year old aerospace executive / love interest to Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern. Then Peter Saarsgard was cast as the film's villian. Today comes a report that Jackie Earle Haley will be off-setting the attractiveness of castmembers ratio significantly by signing on as another villian named Sinestro. From HitFix: "Don't expect him to be onscreen for the entire movie. But unless something drastically changes, he is in the film. And I'm hearing that based on the relationship they have with him from "Watchmen" and "A Nightmare On Elm Street," Jackie Earle Haley is the only choice for Sinestro by the studio." Haley is an okay choice for this even though he looks nothing like the character from the books. Both Daniel Day Lewis and Bradley Whitford would fit the mold better. Problem is, Day Lewis would never do it, and Brad Whitford… Brad Whitford just wants it too badly. (HitFix)
Matt Damon has a knack for delivering a convincing death blow to the face, chest, elbow, or balls, and it looks like he's maintained his Bourne skills in the new film Green Zone. In the below featurette, Damon and director Paul Greengrass, BFFs forever, give us some details in to the storyline, and discuss what makes a good thriller thrilling. Clearly it's an abundance of ass-kicking and broken necks, but wouldn't you know it, direction and pacing has a big part to do with it too. Someone get McG on the phone! I need to sit him down and show him something…
Breaking Bad's meth cooking schoolteacher Bryan Cranston has joined the cast of Andrew Stanton's foray into live-action, John Carter of Mars. Taylor Kitsch stars as the Civil War veteran John Carter, who is mysteriously transported to Mars and joins the Martian people in their own war. Cranston will play a Civil War colonel who comes into conflict with Carter. Also on board for the Pixar film are Lynn Collins, Willem Dafoe, Mark Strong, and Thomas Haden Church. All are playing giant, green warrior-like aliens. I know. I know. You already want to compare this to Avatar. But that comparison really doesn't hold up. First of all, this is based off a book series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Cameron stole his story from a novella. Plus, the Na'vi are blue not green. Do your research, guys. (THR)
Come back, Jeff Gowdbwum! I want to pway more!In a recent interview with Boxoffice Magazine, Joe Johnston, director of The Wolfman, confirmed that Jurassic Park IV is definitely happening, and will most likely be the beginning of a new trilogy of Jurassic Park films:Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first three—it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. He went on to say:If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy. If they keep working—and if audiences keep going to them—there's no reason why there wouldn't be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don't want to make sequel after sequel just because there's a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don't want to just sell hamburger.The island dinosaurs are going to terrorize three more groups of people?! You know evolution has failed when humans continue going back to a defunct theme park thats most popular ride is being eaten alive by prehistoric beasts. Nonetheless, if Jurassic Park IV can bring the series back to level of the first film I'll stand in line just like I did in 1993.
Um. The first trailer for Ironclad is online and it… um, yeah. I mean, I don't get it. It has real actors in it like Richard Attenborough, Robert Carlyle, Bob Hoskins, James Purefoy, Brian Cox, and Pete Poselthwaite. At least one of those guys is an actual lord! How is this so bad looking? Is it performance art?? If so, where's James Franco??? It honestly looks like footage from a Ren Faire. Paul Giamatti has reportedly joined the cast since this trailer was filmed. He'll be disappointed to find out it's not an actual Ren Faire. Therefore, no deep-fried Oreos. Have a look for yourself. Just kidding. The actual Ironclad trailer is after the jump but it's no better than what you just saw. (via Cinematical)
Cameras are still set to roll in March for Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.'s prequel to The Thing. Plot details are beginning to surface as the date approaches. Spoiler TV published the casting breakdown which helps fill in some of the gaps on the story.News of note is that the film has a female lead and early rumors about MacReady's brother appearing in the film were wrong. I've posted the casting specs after the jump with the spoilers removed for those who have never seen a movie before and can't guess who will and will not survive. I can say that after reading through the spoilers and character descriptions, it seems that the movie borrows from Aliens, Lethal Weapon, and The Mist. In other words, we've got another Deep Blue Sea on our hands. LL Cool J should be expecting a call any day now. (Spoiler TV)CHECK OUT THE CASTING BREAKDOWN AFTER THE JUMP…

Online Biology Instructor: Career Information and Requirements
Biology instructors teach courses in various areas, including botany and zoology. The educational requirements for online instructors are the same as those for traditional instructors. Online instructors must adapt their coursework to online situations. This can prove to be a potentially lengthy process which takes time away from scientific research and collaboration.
Job Duties
In many cases, online instructors have very similar duties to their counterparts teaching traditional on-site courses. Online biology instructors teach courses in the subject area of biology and do so by using an online learning platform. Salary.com lists biology instruction areas as zoology, genetics, botany, evolutionary science and other relevant topics. These professionals use a number of teaching techniques to help students learn, including lectures, assignments, moderated peer discussions and examinations (swz.salary.com).
Educational Requirements of Online Instructors
An increasingly larger number of colleges and universities offer online courses for their students. The U.S. News & World Report noted in April of 2009 that the world of online learning was plagued by student claims of bad quality and high costs of attendance but that many reputable learning institutions were stepping up to change this (www.usnews.com). In postsecondary schools, the educational requirements for becoming an online instructor are similar to those of traditional faculty. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that nearly all higher-learning institutions require all teachers to hold a minimum of a master's degree in a subject area. Four-year institutions commonly require doctorate-level degrees of their full-time faculty (www.bls.gov).
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
The BLS reports that the employment of university and college biology instructors, which includes online instructors, is expected to increase by 19% between 2012 and 2022. This job growth rate is about the same as the average for all careers within the U.S. The BLS also reports that as of May 2013 the average salary of postsecondary biological science teachers was $87,080 per year (www.bls.gov).
Online Adaptations
According to the BLS, educators must often adapt to the concept of teaching distance-learning courses. Many colleges and universities offer online classes for enhanced flexibility and require faculty to teach some online courses. It can take much additional time to convert an existing course plan into one which will work using the Internet as a teaching medium. Educators must plan for no in-person contact with students and thus prepare to spend time answering e-mails and finding ways to use the online learning platform to benefit students. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's O*Net online occupational database, biology instructors are often responsible for setting up laboratory work to supplement courses (online.onetcenter.org). Adapting this type of work to an online setting can be particularly difficult.
Many postsecondary educators, especially those in the sciences such as biology, conduct research and publish their findings. O*Net lists continuing education in ever-changing scientific areas and collaboration with colleagues to pursue this education as a job task for biology instructors. The BLS states that many of these instructors complain about the additional time requirements of teaching online courses. Instructors say they subtract from the time they have to do research and collaborate, thus stunting their abilities to advance in their careers (www.bls.gov).

Hey, costco mead plans ahead of me. wondering how well this mellowed out in the end.
It's done very well. Fruity but not bitter, the hotness has really disappeared. I only have four bottles left, I'd say that's a good sign. Go for it!
I'll have to give this a try. Do you remember, by chance, how much ingredients cost you overall?
I just brewed another batch, it came to $90 for 6 gallons.
Oh, nice. Totally doable. Thank you Costco...
Have made 3 batches of mead using Costco clover honey. All three were very good. berrys from the same seem to be an ok price as well. Cherry's are in season now and ready to go form my 4th batch using them. Anyone have an idea on how many lb's needed for a strong cherry taste?? Thanks
Check out Ken Schramm's book The Compleat Meadmaker. It has a table in it, and although I don't have it in front of me now, I believe it should say how much fruit to use depending on how strong of a flavor you want.
I have wondered about the honey from costco, thanks for the info.
I've made a few meads with Costco honey that turned out well. Personally, I have nothing against the costco special, however I primarily use it when adding fruit or spices to my mead. I don't think I'd use it for a traditional mead, but I've never actually tried a traditional with it either(who knows, it could be fantastic). So far my attempts with Costco honey have been limited to a metheglin, a Cherry mead, and a few batches of JAOM, all turned out very good.
This looks like a go! Gonna use 71B yeast and staggered nutrient addition Thanks for the recipe!

So I've been on steroids (for poison ivy) for five days now. I've been on plan for the most part, no major deviations, within my caloric range every day. I've gained almost 5 lbs. Obviously this has got to be water weight from the meds. Today is my last day on the meds, and I don't want to be expecting the weight to woosh off overnight and then not see the scale move for a day or two and get frustrated. In your experience, how long does it take to lose the water weight?

Over the course of the last 12 months, our resident "unofficial" Ambassador MovingUpward (affectionately known as Moo) has been working on his payouts for the Pedi Fundraiser. SIers raised the money and Moo went to 5 cities and promptly got beautiful pedicures. I have in my possession, the photos of each location.
So here's how this works. Any donation reaps a reward.
$5 - password and access to 1 city of choice (Which you will specify when you donate) Each additional $5 gives you the password and access to another city $25 - will give you the passwords and access to ALL pedi cities.
If a "city" receives $250+ in donations, the pedi pictures from that city will go public on SI.
Chattanooga - $110 Dallas - $60 Houston - $50 Orlando - $50 St. Louis - $150
Donors that pledge $50 or more get a special surprise. There are blackmail photos of Moo in various "costumes". And they are worth. every. penny.
This site is free for all. However, it is not free to run. It takes approximately $500+ per month to keep SI up and running. I for one, am extremely thankful for the help that SI and its members have given me. I've received invaluable advice, support, and made lifetime friends.
During this holiday season, please seriously consider a donation to help support SI. And of course, reap the fun benefits in the process.

Maybe Moo would enjoy a foot wax?
I'm game...I don't get it but put me in for $50.

Thank you SIers!!!
Good Job Aubrie for getting this all together!

How do I even pick one? One of my BFFs let me stay at her house with Isaiah (who was 18 months old at the time) when our A/C died in the middle of a heat wave and my hubby was out of town. We got it fixed quickly, but I didn't want Isaiah in the house when it was over 80. We had friends (who are actually the parents of some good friends) let us stay at their house (when Isaiah was 13 months old) when we had a bad ice storm and did not have power for 5 days. I think they had about 15 of us in their house between two families. Before my twins were born, I had friends come over and sweep my kitchen, wash some dishes, and help me sort througih junk, Isaiah's toys, and baby clothes in order to get Isaiah moved into a new room and get his room ready for the girls. I have been so blessed with meeting such wonderful people where I live.

Local man denies
threat with a knife
A West Pawlet man has denied using a knife to threaten his brother during an argument.
Mark M. Prevost, 55, pleaded innocent Wednesday in Rutland criminal court to first-degree aggravated domestic assault with a weapon.
Prevost was released on court-ordered conditions, including that he not possess or drink alcohol.
Vermont State Police arrested Prevost after his brother, Keith Prevost, told police Mark hit him with a stick and threatened him with a knife Tuesday night, court documents state.
Police said the brothers, who have been sharing the home on Route 153, had been drinking alcohol when they began to argue over living conditions.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure.

UNESCO adds new Turkish sites to World Heritage list
Turkey has a plethora of intriguing cultural landmarks and buildings that are begging to be explored.
Examples of architecture from the days of the Ottoman Empire are still seen across the country and tourism chiefs are keen for more important places to be officially protected by UNESCO.
In the last few days, the organisation has revealed that 38 Turkish sites will be added to its preliminary World Heritage List.
Achieving such status is crucial, as it guarantees landmarks that carry a great deal of natural, historical and cultural importance will be safeguarded by the international body.
The country already has ten places that are protected and culture minister Ertugrul Gunay is desperate for this to increase.
He met with UNESCO director general Irina Bokova in Istanbul on April 20th, where the pair discussed the possible addition of archaeological sites such as the Hac? Bektash Veli complex and Yesemek Open-air Museum to the World Heritage List.
Many of the places that are under consideration are very popular among people who have booked holidays in Turkey.

text: We Test the "Internet of Things" with 3 Wireless Sensors For years we've heard that someday, all the items in our everyday lives will be wirelessly linked and trackableno more losing your keys. A new wave of wireless sensors that are getting smaller and better make that vision seem closer than ever. Will the Internet of Things soon be upon us? We tried out three different techs to find out. By John Brandon Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 4 of 4 ANT Sensor Technology ANT sensor technology is owned by Garmin, but it's a different beast entirely. For starters, ANT is not intended for finding lost objects like yard rakes and car keys, and is not intended for tracking the movements of objects like packages or delivery vehicles. It's not even a sensor, but a wireless protocol used by sensors. (ANT is the wireless protocol; there's also a standard that determines how ANT-capable devices communicate with one another, which is called ANT-plus.) ANT is more in line with the original Internet of Things concept, because the data is more robust. That's because the ANT protocol can transmit more data about objects. The protocol, which uses the 2.4-GHz wireless band that can form into a wireless sensor network, is often used with fitness equipment such as the Star Trac, Octane trainer and Nike-plus sensor that fits in the sole of a shoe. (Bluetooth uses a similar low-power 2.4-GHz band, but it uses a slightly different frequency.) While both the BiKN and Chirp transmit mostly location data, the ANT protocol can transmit heart-rate information, glucose level for someone with diabetes (using a wireless chip that attaches to your skin), and even the motion of your feet. Today, the protocol is highly protected: For example: You buy an ANT adapter for your iPhone, tie one to a shoelace, and it communicates how many steps you take with your shoes, but only when you use the Garmin Fit app. However, the main advantage to using ANT is that the sensor could communicate richer information than an RFID tag or one that uses ZigBee or GPS. In tests with the Garmin ANT adapter for the iPhone, I tracked my steps on a walk, my heart rate, calories burned, and the exact route of the walk. Then, I shared this data to the Garmin Connect service and posted the walk details to Facebook. That rich information was culled from the sensors in my shoe and a Garmin Heart Rate Monitor. So where will this all lead? Will the Internet of Things become a reality? Much of the discussion about sensor networks revolves around the standards that take hold and how the sensors connect to one another. But the upshot is that we're getting to the ultimate goal: that every physical object will one day transmit data. Each wireless radio becomes part of a network of networks and provides the ultimate benefittracking physical objects, knowing how those objects have been used, and where they are in the world. Overall, I found the sensor data from these tags to be incredibly useful. For example, the heart-rate sensor that fed into my iPhone can be set to warn me when I'm pushing myself too hard and exceed a specific heart rate for my age and weight. It made me realize that, in the Internet of Things, no physical object is out of the scope of what could be tracked and analyzed. And now, the sensors are finally coming out of the concept stage.

I live in a small restricted subdivision (around 10 houses) that has a culdesack at the end of it. I own one of the lot's at the corner of the culdesack. It's a nice peaceful neighborhood. As the road ends at the culdesack, there is a 50' wide U & D easement that extends into a 40 acre hay field. The owner of the field wants to develop the 40 acres. Does the owner of the field have the right to put in a curbed road, which to my knowledge requires a 60' wide "right of way"? Is there anyway it can be stopped? There is a gravel road there now which allows the tractors in to cut the hay, which is great! But I'm frustrated by the fact that construction traffic through there will probably increase 300% or more through a subdivision that is already established. There is really no ties between this new "subdivision" and the one I'm in. Thanks for any advice.
Is there a difference between a right of way and easement? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You have to go back to the original sub-division plans (you will find them at the registry of deeds), and see precisely what rights were passed on from the previous owners to the developers. The 'field' and your subdivision were likely owned by the same person at one time, and so rights of way between the two pieces may well be reciprocal. I rather doubt that the easement has to be 60' wide to be paved. I live in a similar subdivision that was laid out over 100 yrs ago, has developed and undeveloped 'private' roads, public 'rights of way' to bodies of water, a divested developer, etc. It's extremely complicated and gray, nothing is certain unless it has been land-courted - at least in this state. I also have a corner lot abutting an undeveloped and partially undeveloped right-of-way making my lot effectively twice as large as denoted in the plan. How much control I legally have over these areas is highly nebulous. If you are serious, hire a lawyer VERY well-versed in these matters for your state. |

This is my first experience with flowering hoyas. The first wave of flowers came about three months ago. Those came and went and it was exciting. Then buds developed on those same locations again! They are fading now and dropping and once again, lovely show. Can I expect a third showing this summer? Does this go on all year if conditions are right? Also, as long as its been blooming there has been no growth to the vine. No new leaves either. My flowers seem to be on leaf-less cords. Odd looking. Oh, and its a Hoya carnosa. thanks!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well let me first tell you Congratulations! Most of us dont get flowers from Carnosa that quickly and not that frequently. Where do you live? How long have you had it? and a picture would be great. When I first started reading about how fast your Hoya was flowering, I was thinking maybe DS 70 or Lacunosa. But it would be a pretty amazing accomplishment in MHO to have a Carnosa bloom like that. Try to get a picture up. And provide a little more information please. |
I live just north of Seattle. My hoyas are in my kitchen window. Its a south facing window but there are lots of trees out there so direct sun is minimized. I have the carnosa, a purpureo fusca (its also in the photo) a kenejiana that are growing like gangbusters. The purpureo fusca has easily grown 12 inches in the past month and two sets of leaves.. The kenejiana more like three inches and a set of leaves. |
My carnosa blooms all summer, basically until it gets cold. So yes, you can expect more blooms. I think the more sun it gets, the more blooms. Mine was getting direct sun for a couple hours a day. Renee |
I love how you are growing your Hoya...look at all the blooms!! Congrats!! |
Congrats on the blooms! I really like how you have your carnosa trained around the window sill. I wish mine would be more cooperative... My carnosa bloomed all summer last year. I believe at any given time it easily had a dozen umbels blooming. That was the first year it really bloomed. Many of them bloomed four or five times. So hopefully you can enjoy your carnosa blooms for several months yet!! |
Thanks, everyone! I have purchased a trellis for the carnosa since its at the end of the window sill. Just waiting for the flowers to drop and then I'll get it wound around a stand. |
Wow! That picture was worth a 1000 words. It is so pretty to see all the blooms cascading. Ive read alot of times the most blooms come off of a leafless vine, and yours is surely the case. My carnosa also grows in the southern window, never has bloomed but once :( I do grow H. Hindu Rope that bloomed all summer from about 2 year on. And it is a type of carnosa. Enjoy your beauty. And It will look great wrapped around a trellis too! Thanks for sharing the photo, keep them coming. |

@ jkc Yes, most Hoyas keep their peduncles (the place where the buds form), and rebloom from them. (Some, like javanica and lasiantha, drop them after a few blooming cycles, and then grow new ones). Every time the peduncle blooms, it gets a little longer and nubbier, so old peduncles look really cool IMO. Once a Hoya already has a peduncle, it's much more likely it will go ahead and bloom. That's why people get so excited when their cuttings come with peduncles already on them. Sometimes these cuttings will bloom even before they're done rooting, giving their owner an opportunity to see flowers that might otherwise take them years to achieve. Carnosa does have that peculiarity you noted of putting most its peduncles on leafless vines. So, we're always warning new Hoya owners not to prune those long (somewhat ugly) bare vines. Different Hoyas have different blooming seasons and patterns. A lot of them tend to do as carnosa does, bringing new batches of buds to bloom over several months, then taking a break until their season rolls around again. Carnosa and bella start blooming in the spring. Hoya nummularioides blooms in the late summer early fall. Etc. etc. Sometimes the pattern is like clockwork, and other times it's not as obvious. Like, it seems to me that paulshirleyii blooms every couple of months year round. I don't really keep track, but it occurs to me it would be a good habit. |
Thanks Greedyghost. I checked out my bella starts and yes! there are three peduncles on them. Small ones, so perhaps later this season or even next year. I'm sure most of its energy is being put into root production. I'm watering the carnosa twice a week and feeding it once a month. The other plants seem to still be doing well with once a week watering and monthly feedings. They are smaller and seem to be putting out vines and leaves rather than flowers. I'll post more photos as things bloom. |
Hi people: @ jkc1023 Beautiful hoya in the window alfeifar. @ greedyghost I want to show a cutting, which I have set to root a month ago. I have to emphasize that it has a small piece of old stem and a good chunk of a new guide. It has two infant peduncles and you can see how one of them starts to show its umbels and surely we will see to flourish soon. Come the time and if I remember, I will show its blooming umbels. It is impossible to include the photos here but if you want to see the transplant to a pot that I did this morning you can visit this link. pedĂşnculo que florecera Thanks and regards. |
Here is a link that might be useful: pedĂşnculo que florecera
@pepueve How old is your mama carnosa? Your photo looks like the "trunk" is an inch in diameter! |
Hello people. @jkc1023 The mother plant is 24. Yes, the stem of this cutting is 3 mm in diameter Below is the link to see photos when I planted this cutting.
