It all began in Singapore while May was on vacation. She was out walking when Eric saw her from across the road. It was love at first sight. From the moment they met they had an instant connection. After a few dates, learning about each other, laughing together and a taste of Eric's sweet n' sour pork, he won her heart.
May, though as tough as a cookie, had a soft spot for Eric. All the promises Eric made was met. She felt the sincerity in Eric and, she felt safe, secured and truly loved for the first time. He was consistent even when she flew back to the Philippines. Long distance relationship was tough but they survived it. He proposed to her with a promise of courting her every single day of their lives. They believe that they were just two people who met at the right place, at the right time, and with God's approval... a perfect match they say.
It was another fun Sunday in Sept 8, 2013 as Erik and May said their vows to each other. Caleruega Chapel is a beautiful location for the couple's nuptials. Truly a wonderful place to get married! The celebration was witnessed by their closest friends, and family.
The planning process was the biggest challenge the couple have faced together so far, but it seemed that the wedding was planned to perfection. It was such a joy to capture every glorious moments and to see how easy going, simple and sweet the day was.
See all of the details in this video! :) Took place at Caleruega Chapel, Nasugbu Batangas and Rosemont Garden, Alfonso Cavite. By Team Freshminds

Tedisco Applauds Governor Cuomo's Support For Closing "Penn State Loophole"
Statement from Assemblyman Jim Tedisco (R,C,I-Schenectady-Saratoga), Former Assembly Minority Leader and Current Assistant Minority Whip
December 14, 2011
"Today, Governor Cuomo announced that he is introducing legislation similar to the 'College Coaches and Professionals Reporting Act' that I, Assemblyman George Amedore, Senator Hugh Farley, Senator George Maziarz, along with colleagues from both sides of the aisle, have introduced to require college coaches to become mandated reporters of child abuse."
"College professionals, many of whom interact with children through youth programs, are currently not defined as mandatory reporters under New York State law. It only makes sense to create another set of eyes and ears on college campuses where so many programs for children exist."
"It's clear from the bi-partisan support shown from my colleagues in both houses of the legislature, and now from the Governor, that there is real recognition that New York has an opportunity to be progressive and close the Penn State Loophole. I welcome the Governor's support and look forward to working with him to help protect children."

Glidden paint recently launched an improved formula that maintains a high quality but also keeps Glidden at a more affordable price point. A gallon of Glidden costs $16-$24 dollars and they feel it's comparable to $50 gallon paint. They are so confident that they sent us a full press kit with everything we need to compare Glidden with other paints.
We'll report back on our findings in a comparison test but we immediately liked the larger color chips that make it much easier to compare colors and visually gain a sense of how it will reflect light as well as feel to the touch. Their new lineup is a bit scaled back at 282 colors but that seems like a large enough palette for most people.
You can find Glidden paint at Home Depot and they have ready-to-go testers with built-in brushes for $2.97 which isn't much of an investment to take home and try out for yourself.
They've also included a helpful fact-sheet of five-key characteristics of a quality interior paint.

Mike Holmgren talks owner change
BEREA, Ohio -- Mike Holmgren was hired to bring stability to the Cleveland Browns.
Three years into his tenure as Cleveland's president, things couldn't be shakier for the franchise.
With the team on the verge of an ownership change, Holmgren said Monday he's hoping to finish out his contract.
"I've never quit anything in my life," he said.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
Hired by owner Randy Lerner at the end of the 2009 season, Holmgren said he hopes to fulfill his five-year deal, which expires after the 2014 season.
"That's what my plan is," he said.
Things rarely go according to form in Cleveland, and during a 40-minute news conference Holmgren left open the possibility he may not be around too much longer. Lerner's sale of the Browns for $1 billion to truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam III is expected to be approved at the NFL's owner's meeting in mid-October -- a session Holmgren plans to attend.
Once Haslam assumes control, the Browns could undergo a dramatic makeover at the top of the organization. Haslam has refused to discuss possible changes to Cleveland's front office, and Holmgren said he has not inquired about his immediate future.
Holmgren wouldn't comment when asked if he would stay if his role changes under Haslam.
"Let's just see how it goes," the 64-year-old former coach said. "I can't answer that right now. ... Let's slow down a little bit on that stuff and see where it takes us."
Holmgren said he has had positive discussions with Haslam, whom he referred to as a "good man." While the timing of Lerner's sale surprised him, Holmgren said he doesn't think the uncertainty has affected the Browns as they prepared for the season, which opens Sunday against Philadelphia.
"I think the players and coaches have handled the whole thing beautifully," he said. "Who knows what's in the deepest thoughts of people's minds if they don't tell you, but on the surface and how we're preparing and how we put the team together, I like what I see, so I think they've gone about business pretty well."
Holmgren acknowledged the current working environment under the backdrop of potential change has been unusual.
"All you can do is what you can do and I believe in the people we have here," he said. "They are going about business as usual. I talked to the whole building a while ago, not only the coaches and the football people, but everyone else in the building, and said, 'OK, you're good. We see light at the end of the tunnel and keep doing what you've been doing and we'll see what happens.' "
If the Browns, who went 4-12 last season, show improvement, Haslam might decide to stay the course and keep the front office intact. However, if the Browns start poorly, and with a young roster -- 15 rookies, including the starting quarterback -- and brutal schedule, chances are they will, Haslam could make swift, significant changes.
Holmgren, though, senses Haslam understands the team's shortcomings and is realistic about the upcoming season.
"He knows we're young," he said "He's asked a lot of questions, a lot of football questions, and he is well aware of our situation. But I'll stick with what I said all along, even prior to this happening, that my expectations are that we're better this year.
"I've said that before and I'll say that again and you know, that's how we're all judged ultimately."
Holmgren expects Haslam to have a much higher public profile than Lerner, who inherited the Browns after his father, Al, died in 2002. Holmgren said he continues to speak on a weekly basis with Lerner, but acknowledged the sale has altered their relationship.
"It's a time period now that's a little different for everybody involved," he said.
Holmgren said his agent, Bob LaMonte, who also represents Browns coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert, has not had any conversations with Haslam about the future.
"No, in fact, I try to keep LaMonte away from Jimmy," Holmgren joked.
Holmgren addressed several other topics during his news conference, among the highlights:
• He was initially worried backup quarterback Colt McCoy's popularity among Cleveland fans would distract rookie starter Brandon Weeden. However, Holmgren praised McCoy for the way he's handled his demotion and doesn't think him being on the roster will be an issue.
• He's confident Weeden can handle starting, but cautioned several times that there will be growing pains.
"He is a rookie and he's going to be as good as any rookie starting," he said. "Coming into the league he will function as a quarterback as well as anyone in my opinion, but he's still a rookie and it's difficult. But where he is hasn't been a surprise to me, he's right on target."
• Shurmur has developed in his second year as a head coach, and Holmgren senses a confidence he didn't see last season.
"He feels much better about knowing who he has, he's told me that, and that seems to me pretty obvious," Holmgren said. "He's very involved in practice. He's more involved with everybody than he was a year ago. I'm still learning his coaching style, to be honest. Everybody does it their own way. I like when he calls the guys together, they listen to him. He has their attention."

Barbara Stanwyck (born Ruby Catherine Stevens; July 16, 1907 – January 20, 1990) was an American actress. She was a film and television star, known during her 60-year career as a consummate and versatile professional with a strong, realistic screen presence, and a favorite of directors including Cecil B. DeMille, Fritz Lang and Frank Capra. After a short but notable career as a stage actress in the late 1920s, she made 85 films in 38 years in Hollywood, before turning to television.
Orphaned at the age of four and partially raised in foster homes, by 1944 Stanwyck had become the highest-paid woman in the United States. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress four times, for Stella Dallas (1937), Ball of Fire (1941), Double Indemnity (1944) and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). For her television work, she won three Emmy Awards, for The Barbara Stanwyck Show (1961), The Big Valley (1966) and The Thorn Birds (1983). The Thorn Birds also won her a Golden Globe. She received an Honorary Oscar at the 1982 Academy Award ceremony and the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1986. She was also the recipient of honorary lifetime awards from the American Film Institute (1987), the Film Society of Lincoln Center (1986), the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (1981) and the Screen Actors Guild (1967). Stanwyck received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1941 and was ranked as the 11th greatest female star of all time in 1999, by the American Film Institute.[1]
Barbara Stanwyck was born Ruby Catherine Stevens in Brooklyn, New York, on July 16, 1907.[2] She was the fifth and youngest child of Catherine Ann (née McPhee) and Byron E. Stevens. The couple was working class, her father a native of Massachusetts and her mother an immigrant from Nova Scotia.[3][4] Ruby was of English and Scottish ancestry, by her father and mother, respectively.[2] When she was four, her mother died of complications from a miscarriage after a drunken stranger accidentally knocked her off a moving streetcar.[5] Two weeks after the funeral, Byron Stevens joined a work crew digging the Panama Canal and was never seen again.[6] Ruby and her brother, Byron, were raised by their older sister Mildred, who was only five years older than Ruby.[6] When Mildred got a job as a John Cort showgirl, Ruby and Byron were placed in a series of foster homes (as many as four different homes in a year), from which Ruby often ran away.[7][N 1]
"I knew that after fourteen I'd have to earn my own living, but I was willing to do that ... I've always been a little sorry for pampered people, and of course, they're 'very' sorry for me." |
Barbara Stanwyck, 1937[9] |
During the summers of 1916 and 1917, Ruby toured with Mildred, and practiced her sister's routines backstage.[8] Watching the movies of Pearl White, whom Ruby idolized, also influenced her drive to be a performer.[10] At age 14, she dropped out of school to take a job wrapping packages at a department store in Brooklyn.[11] Ruby never attended high school, "although early biographical thumbnail sketches had her attending Brooklyn's famous Erasmus Hall High School."[12] Soon after, she took a job filing cards at the Brooklyn telephone office for a salary of $14 a week, a salary that allowed her to become financially independent.[13] She disliked both jobs; her real interest was to enter show business even as her sister Mildred discouraged the idea. She then took a job cutting dress patterns for Vogue magazine, but because customers complained about her work, she was fired.[9] Her next job was as a typist for the Jerome H. Remick Music Company, a job she reportedly enjoyed. However, her continuing ambition was to work in show business and her sister finally gave up trying to dissuade her.[14]
In 1923, a few months before her 16th birthday, Ruby auditioned for a place in the chorus at the Strand Roof, a night club over the Strand Theatre in Times Square.[15] A few months later, she obtained a job as a dancer in the 1922 and 1923 seasons of the Ziegfeld Follies, dancing at the New Amsterdam Theater. "I just wanted to survive and eat and have a nice coat," Stanwyck said.[16][17] For the next several years, she worked as a chorus girl, performing from midnight to seven a.m. at nightclubs owned by Texas Guinan. She also occasionally served as a dance instructor at a speakeasy for gays and lesbians owned by Guinan.[18] One of her good friends during those years was pianist Oscar Levant, who described her as being "wary of sophisticates and phonies."[16]
In 1926, Billy LaHiff, who owned a popular pub frequented by showpeople, introduced Ruby to impresario Willard Mack.[19] Mack was casting his play The Noose and LaHiff suggested that the part of the chorus girl be played by a real chorus girl. Mack agreed and after a successful audition, gave the part to Ruby.[20] She co-starred with actors Rex Cherryman and Wilfred Lucas.[21] As initially staged, the play was not a success.[22] In an effort to improve it, Mack decided to expand Ruby's part to include more pathos.[23] The Noose re-opened on October 20, 1926, and became one of the most successful plays of the season, running on Broadway for nine months and 197 performances.[17] At the suggestion of either Mack or David Belasco, Ruby changed her name to Barbara Stanwyck by combining the first name of her character, Barbara Frietchie, with Stanwyck, after the name of another actress in the play, Jane Stanwyck.[22]
Stanwyck became a Broadway star soon after when she was cast in her first leading role in Burlesque (1927). She received rave reviews and it was a huge hit.[24] Film actor Pat O'Brien would later say on a talk show in the 1960s: "The greatest Broadway show I ever saw was a play in the 1920s called 'Burlesque'." In Arthur Hopkins' autobiography, To a Lonely Boy, he describes how he came about casting Stanwyck, saying: "After some search for the girl, I interviewed a nightclub dancer who had just scored in a small emotional part in a play that did not run (The Noose). She seemed to have the quality I wanted, a sort of rough poignancy. She at once displayed more sensitive, easily expressed emotion than I had encountered since Pauline Lord. She and (Hal) Skelly were the perfect team, and they made the play a great success. I had great plans for her, but the Hollywood offers kept coming. There was no competing with them. She became a picture star. She is Barbara Stanwyck." He also describes Stanwyck as "The greatest natural actress of our time," noting with sadness, "One of the theater's great potential actresses was embalmed in celluloid."[25]
Around this time, Stanwyck was summoned by film producer Bob Kane to make a screen test for his upcoming 1927 silent film Broadway Nights. She lost the lead role because she could not cry in the screen test but was given a minor part as a fan dancer. This was Stanwyck's first film appearance.[26]
While playing in Burlesque, Stanwyck had been introduced to her future husband, actor Frank Fay, by Oscar Levant.[27] Stanwyck and Fay were married on August 26, 1928, and soon moved to Hollywood.[7]
Stanwyck's first sound film was The Locked Door (1929), followed by Mexicali Rose, released in the same year. Neither film was successful; nonetheless, Frank Capra chose Stanwyck for his Ladies of Leisure (1930).[17] Numerous prominent roles followed, among them the children's nurse who saves two little girls from being gradually starved to death by Clark Gable's vicious character in Night Nurse (1931); So Big!, as a valiant midwest farm woman (1932); Shopworn 1932; the ambitious woman from "the wrong side of the tracks" in Baby Face (1933); the self-sacrificing title character in Stella Dallas (1937); Molly Monahan in Union Pacific (1939) with Joel McCrea; the con artist who falls for her intended victim (played by Henry Fonda) in The Lady Eve (1941); the extremely successful, independent doctor Helen Hunt in You Belong to Me (1941) also with Fonda; a nightclub performer who gives a professor (played by Gary Cooper) a better understanding of "modern English" in the comedy Ball of Fire (1941); the woman who talks an infatuated insurance salesman (Fred MacMurray) into killing her husband in Double Indemnity (1944); the columnist caught up in white lies and a holiday romance in Christmas in Connecticut (1945); and the doomed wife in Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). She also played a doomed concert pianist in The Other Love (1947); the piano music was played by Ania Dorfmann, who drilled Stanwyck for three hours a day until she was able to move her arms and hands to match the music.[28] Stanwyck was reportedly one of the many actresses considered for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939), although she did not receive a screen test. In 1944, Stanwyck was the highest-paid woman in the United States.[17]
"That is the kind of woman that makes whole civilizations topple." |
Kathleen Howard of Stanwyck's character in Ball of Fire[29] |
Pauline Kael described Stanwyck's acting, "[she] seems to have an intuitive understanding of the fluid physical movements that work best on camera" and in reference to her early 1930s film work, "early talkies sentimentality ... only emphasizes Stanwyck's remarkable modernism".[30]
Many of her roles involved strong characters. In Double Indemnity, Stanwyck brought out the cruel nature of the "grim, unflinching murderess," marking her as the "most notorious femme" in the film noir genre.[31] Yet, Stanwyck was known for her accessibility and kindness to the backstage crew on any film set. She knew the names of their wives and children. Frank Capra said of Stanwyck: "She was destined to be beloved by all directors, actors, crews and extras. In a Hollywood popularity contest she would win first prize hands down."[32]
William Holden and Stanwyck were friends of long standing. When Stanwyck and Holden were presenting the Best Sound Oscar, Holden paused to pay a special tribute to her for saving his career when Holden was cast in the lead for Golden Boy (1939). After a series of unsteady daily performances, he was about to be fired, but Stanwyck staunchly defended him, successfully standing up to the film producers. Shortly after Holden's death, Stanwyck recalled the moment when receiving her honorary Oscar: "A few years ago I stood on this stage with William Holden as a presenter. I loved him very much, and I miss him. He always wished that I would get an Oscar. And so tonight, my golden boy, you got your wish".[33]
When Stanwyck's film career declined in 1957, she moved to television. Her 1961–1962 series The Barbara Stanwyck Show was not a ratings success but earned her an Emmy Award.[17] The 1965–1969 Western series The Big Valley on ABC made her one of the most popular actresses on television, winning her another Emmy.[17] She was billed as "Miss Barbara Stanwyck". She also appeared in the television series, The Untouchables with Robert Stack. She appeared in 1963 episode of Wagon Train, the "Molly Kincaid Story", and alongside Elvis Presley in the movie Roustabout in 1964.
Years later, Stanwyck earned her third Emmy for The Thorn Birds.[17] In 1985, she made three guest appearances in the primetime soap opera Dynasty prior to the launch of its short-lived spin-off series The Colbys in which she starred alongside Charlton Heston, Stephanie Beacham and Katharine Ross. Unhappy with the experience, Stanwyck remained with the series for only one season (it lasted for two), and her role as Constance Colby Patterson would prove to be her last.[17] Earl Hamner Jr. (producer of The Waltons) had initially wanted Stanwyck for the lead role of Angela Channing on the 1980s soap opera Falcon Crest, but she turned it down and the role went to her best friend, Jane Wyman.
While playing in The Noose, Stanwyck fell in love with her married co-star, Rex Cherryman, who became her fiancé in 1928.[7] Cherryman had become ill early in 1928 and his doctor advised him to take a sea voyage to Paris where he and Stanwyck had arranged to meet. While still at sea, he died of septic poisoning, at the age of 31.[34]
On August 26, 1928, Stanwyck married her Burlesque co-star, Frank Fay. She and Fay later claimed that they disliked each other at first, but became close after the sudden death of Cherryman.[7] A botched abortion at age fifteen had resulted in complications which left Stanwyck unable to have children.[35] After moving to Hollywood, the couple adopted a son, Dion Anthony "Tony" Fay, on December 5, 1932. The marriage was a troubled one. Fay's successful career on Broadway did not translate to the big screen, whereas Stanwyck achieved Hollywood stardom. Fay engaged in physical confrontations with his young wife, especially when he was inebriated.[36][37] Some claim that this union was the basis for A Star Is Born.[38] The couple divorced on December 30, 1935. Stanwyck won custody of their troubled adoptive son whom she had raised with a strict authoritarian hand and demanding expectations.[39] Stanwyck and her son were estranged after his childhood, meeting only a few times after he became an adult. The child whom she had adopted in infancy, "resembled her in just one respect: both were, effectively orphans." [40]
In 1936, while making the film His Brother's Wife (1936), Stanwyck became involved with her co-star, Robert Taylor. Rather than a torrid romance, their relationship was more one of mentor and pupil. Stanwyck served as support and adviser to the younger Taylor, a transplant from a small Nebraska town, guiding his career and acclimating him to the sophisticated Hollywood culture. The couple began living together, sparking newspaper reports about the two. Stanwyck was hesitant to remarry after the failure of her first marriage. However, their 1939 marriage was arranged with the help of Taylor's studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, a common practice in Hollywood's golden age. Louis B. Mayer had insisted on the two stars marrying and went as far as presiding over arrangements at the wedding.[41][42] She and Taylor enjoyed time together outdoors during the early years of their marriage, and owned acres of prime West Los Angeles property. Their large ranch and home in the Mandeville Canyon section of Brentwood, Los Angeles, is still referred to by the locals as the old "Robert Taylor ranch."[43]
In 1950, Stanwyck and Taylor mutually decided to divorce, and after his insistence, she proceeded with the official filing of the papers.[44] There have been many rumors regarding the cause of their divorce, but after World War II, Taylor had attempted to create a life away from Hollywood, a goal that Stanwyck did not share.[45] Taylor had romantic affairs, and there were unsubstantiated rumors about Stanwyck having had affairs as well. After the divorce, they acted together in Stanwyck's last feature film, The Night Walker (1964). Stanwyck never remarried and cited Taylor as the love of her life, according to her friend and Big Valley co-star, Linda Evans. She took his death in 1969 very hard and took a long break from film and television work.[46]
Stanwyck was one of the most well-liked actors in Hollywood and was friends with many of her fellow actors (as well as crew members of her films and TV shows), including Joel McCrea and his wife Frances Dee, George Brent, Robert Preston, Henry Fonda (who had a lifelong crush on her and a rumored affair), James Stewart, Linda Evans, Joan Crawford, Jack Benny and his wife Mary Livingstone, William Holden, Gary Cooper, Fred McMurray, and many others.[47]
Stanwyck had a romantic affair with actor Robert Wagner, whom she met on the set of Titanic (1953). Wagner, who was 22, and Stanwyck, who was 45 at the beginning of the relationship, had a four-year romance, which is described in Wagner's memoir, Pieces of My Heart (2008).[48] Stanwyck ended the relationship.[49] In the 1950s, Stanwyck also, reportedly, had a one-night-stand with the much younger Farley Granger, which he wrote about in his autobiography Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway (2007).[50][51][52]
Stanwyck opposed the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She felt that if someone from her disadvantaged background had risen to success, others should be able to do the same without government intervention or assistance.[53] For Stanwyck, indisputably, "hard work with the prospect of rich reward was the American way." Stanwyck became an early member of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals (MPA) with its founding in 1944. The mission of this special interest group, a coalition to monitor the content of Hollywood films, was to "... combat ... subversive methods [used in the industry] to undermine and change the American way of life." [54][55] She went on to publicly support the investigations of HUAC, House Committee on Un-American Activities, both she and her husband Robert Taylor appearing to testify as what was termed friendly witnesses.[56] Stanwyck shared conservative Republican affiliation along with such contemporaries as Walt Disney, Hedda Hopper, Ward Bond, William Holden, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Stewart, George Murphy, Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, John Wayne, Walter Brennan, Shirley Temple, Bob Hope, Adolphe Menjou, director Frank Capra, and her Double Indemnity co-star, Fred McMurray.[57][58][59] She was a fan of Ayn Rand, having persuaded Jack Warner at Warner Bros. to buy the rights to The Fountainhead before it was a best seller and writing to the author of her admiration of Atlas Shrugged.[53][60]
Stanwyck's retirement years were active, with charity work outside the limelight. She was robbed and assaulted inside her Beverly Hills home in 1981. The following year, while filming The Thorn Birds, the inhalation of special-effects smoke on the set may have caused her to contract bronchitis. The illness was compounded by her cigarette habit; she had been a smoker from age nine until four years before her death.[61]
Stanwyck died on January 20, 1990 of congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at age 82 at Saint John's Health Center. She had indicated that she wished for no funeral service.[62] In accordance with her wishes, her remains were cremated and the ashes scattered from a helicopter over Lone Pine, California, where she had made some of her western films.[63]

5 Ignore the bad reviews!!!Posted: 30/12/2012This is a great Hitman! People are saying its not hitman anymore because you can choose to not be stealthy. But if your not stealthy you don't get get any points. Your rewarded for taking your time with each kill but if you cba you can do what you want.
3 Good but didn't live up to the hypePosted: 23/05/2010the graphics were very impressive, the story is engaging and the cinematic are great, however the game-play is very repatative and lacks variety and can get boring after a while. The main character also isn't very likeable as i cared more about his friend barry than i did about him. The end also sort of just stopped and didn't really answer much which annoyed me a bit after 15 + hours of gameplay!. However i did enjoy it and it had a sizeable campaign, beating splinter cell by miles. If your a horror fan and love narrative based games, BUY IT!, but to be totally honest i'd rent it!! save it for a weekend in and you won't be complaining.
5 Dont no what the others are on about!!Posted: 21/01/2010the performances from ben barnes and Rebecca hall is great but colin firth however is fantastic!, the story is very interesting but sometimes feels like there is something missing, overall really enjoyable and defiantly recommendP.S really great picture and the audio just as gd
5 CAPCOM DONE IT AGAIN!!! FANTASTICPosted: 05/07/2009this is a great game, good story, great ending, feels so much like a movie experience, graphics as good as assassins creed, get used to the controls quickly, really good trust me!!
3 Entertaining but the acting let it down for me!!Posted: 27/06/2009Without doubt Clint Eastwood is a great director this film is good and the subject matter is strong, nice use of humor throughout, interesting to see how his character changes throughout but!!! whenever he gets angry which is most of the time he just doesnt carry it off well, with his lip trembling and that weird smile it just looks bit over the top in certain parts but over all OK and also the kid he mentors 'Thao', his acting is terrible really laughable in parts especially when he gets angry as-well,This film is good but it is defiantly not up there with unforgivon or million dollar baby, this film is so overrated and has had to much hype all because its his last lead role.
5 VERY GOOD!! wrong advertisingPosted: 26/06/2009when most people see this film advertised or think of it they assume its a pure action film it isn't, its an intelligent thriller with bits of action and a great shot out near the end, beautifully shot, nice locations and great acting and the idiot bellow saying naomi watts was awful is wrong, she's a great actress. Clive owen is near to his best in this as usually he is very wooden in my opinion , but he was also great in closer and duplicity. To enjoy this film you will need patience and may need to see it twice to understand the story. But i liked it and understood it first time around
5 Really, good very well shotPosted: 20/04/2009The camera angles are very stylish the acting in it is fantastic, in my opinion is superb, chris pine is great and ryan reynolds is amazing at the end, the soundtrack (clint mansell) is great, yes the story is confusing but watch it twice and u will get it, i loved itP.s its not the same director as love actually and its not british lol
5 OMG its so funnyPosted: 08/04/2009when i found out this was seth rogens lowest grossing film he had been in i was amazed as it is so good way better than 'Pineapple Express' which was pretty bad to be honest yeah it had a few laughs in over 2 hours and it made 3 times as much money ( what are the public doing) unbelievable anyway it is so good, great performance from all the cast very well done and lots of innuendo's hahaha and plus really good blu ray picture is top notch
5 AMAZINGPosted: 11/03/2009The graphics are not good there amazing really wow, the story is wicked and a cool cliffhanger at the end. Yes its repetitive but its so fun, defiantly with in my top 3 games i have ever played, i love it!!!!!!!
1 Its not Bond anymore its Jason Bourne!!!!! WhyPosted: 03/11/2008This isn't a bond film its a bourne film.1 there is hardly any classic bond music2 at least 2 scene are so like the bourne ultimatum the motor bike 1 at the start and the close fighting scene in the hotel room at the start3 there are no classic bond lines like the names bond james bond4 the actions scenes are good but they are so shortIm so annoyed to right this Bad review as i love daniel craig and i love marc forster. he is a truly talented director doing films like (monsters ball, the kite runner, finding neverland) etc. There was no bond charm or humor.The story lacked in depth and it was also was a bit confusingNot good get Martin Campbell back the casino royale director

iSuppli: Apple bucks decline in smartphone market, edges closer to Nokia
Apple is edging closer to Nokia and poised to assume the leadership position in the smartphone market, according to IHS iSuppli. In the first three months of 2011, Apple shipped 18.6 million iPhones globally, a 14.9 percent jump from the previous quarter. While Apple showed impressive gains, Nokia posted a significant decline. Q1 2011 shipments from the Finnish handset maker declined 14.5 percent from the 28.3 million handsets shipped in Q4 2010 to 24.2 million in Q1 of this year.
At the end of last quarter, a mere 5.6 million handsets separated the two companies. This gap could be narrowed in the current quarter by continued strong sales of the black iPhone 4 and the launch of the white iPhone 4. The long-awaited white handset sold out quickly in Asia and is expected to give iPhone sales a moderate boost. Nokia, on the other hand, is in a holding pattern while it sunsets its Symbian OS and preps for the debut of Windows Phone later this year.

DEFINITION of 'New Zealand Superannuation Fund'
A New Zealand government fund established in response to the projected increase in the cost of funding the New Zealand Superannuation (NZS) - the retirement benefit paid to all eligible citizens aged 65 and over - due to the country's aging population.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'New Zealand Superannuation Fund'
The fund was established in 2001 and is governed by a separate Crown entity called the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, which is overseen by a board selected by New Zealand's Ministry of Finance. It is a funded on a "pay as you go" basis, which means that the cost of paying NZS in any given year is paid from the taxes levied on incomes of the working population in that year. The fund's assets totaled $15.8 billion by May 2010, and its size is not projected to peak until 2056.

Boris Nemtsov, a former Russian deputy prime minister turned prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, was shot dead today on a street in central Moscow, the Interior Ministry told the Interfax news agency.
The Russian-language news website Meduza reported that Nemtsov was walking with a woman near the Kremlin at the time of the attack. A spokesman told Interfax that at least seven shots were fired at Nemtsov from a passing car.
Police are investigating, Interfax said.
Nemstov, 55, was the head of the opposition Republican Party of Russia-People's Freedom Party. He served as governor of the Novgorod region and as deputy prime minister in the 1990s. As NPR reported in 2007, in the 1990s Nemtsov "was an icon of democratic reform, a crusading minister anointed by former President Boris Yeltsin to be his political heir."
He became an opposition leader and sharp critic of Putin in the early part of the last decade.

We opted for a few main selections which we will expand when we see how well it does. For the time being it's just the ones that are most popular, male toilets, accessibility, baby changing etc.,
I should mention here that this is a DOM-compliant page utilising object literal notation JavaScript code. I wanted to test it out to see if there were any problems, or advantages over traditional JavaScript. And so now, the tactile and braille ordering page is now a functioning ecommerce page using such modern coding techniques.

Craneware's Patient Charge Estimator(TM) Gives Patients Visibility into Treatment Costs before Receiving Services
ATLANTA, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's economy, with the high number of uninsured and underinsured Americans, increasingly high deductibles and co-payments, plus growth in consumer-driven health plans, such as Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) -- more patients are responsible for their own healthcare costs. As a result, hospitals seek better ways to provide visibility into treatment costs prior to service. Setting patients' expectations in advance on procedures and costs helps hospitals improve patient satisfaction, increase upfront collections, and reduce bad debt, which enables them to better serve their communities.
Families USA, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans, estimates that 86.7 million Americans were uninsured for some period of time between 2007 and 2008. And, according to America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), another 8 million Americans are now covered by HSA-eligible insurance plans. These sources indicate a dramatic increase in the number of consumers responsible for their own healthcare service selection and payment.
Both federal and state governments are broadly recognizing the issue. On May 5, 2009, the U.S. Congress introduced the Health Care Transparency Promotion Act of 2009, a bipartisan bill that directs states to establish laws requiring disclosure of information on hospital charges. It also would require hospitals and health plans to make information on hospital charges available to the public, and to provide individuals with information about estimated out-of-pocket costs for healthcare services. Currently, 37 state le

'X Factor' Sees Significant Social Media Strides
The Simon Cowell-led contest is the most social broadcast show and has quadrupled its social TV activity in season two.
With the X Factor finale mere hours away, it's an appropriate time for reflection on a second season that, at first, struggled to find its footing.
It wasn't entirely Simon Cowell's fault -- the fall TV season can be a tricky one to navigate, with Major League Baseball featured on Fox and a presidential election to boot, not to mention Idol rival The Voice airing on Mondays and Tuesdays. Yet even as The X Factor was settling on its rhythm, the show's digital imprint was growing in leaps and bounds.
According to data released by Fox and citing Bluefin Labs, X Factor is the most social broadcast show and has quadrupled its social TV activity with its second season. What kind of numbers are we talking about? Some 522,000 social media comments per episode; In 2011, the show was averaging 132,000. (Fox scored top three status for Glee and American Idol as well, the latter of which logged 1 million comments during a single season 11 episode).
PHOTOS: 'X Factor' Season 2: Meet the Contestants
Other impressive X Factor factoids: the Dec. 5 performance episode spurred 112 trending topics and its social comments generated an estimated 858 million impressions, according to Bluefin. What were people talking about? Finalist CeCe Frey, for one. Her Twitter handle was mentioned over 89,000 times and her name another 73,000. The following night, her elimination generated 9,207 comments per minute. Similarly, Frey's mentor Demi Lovato won the social war, receiving over 103,000 Twitter mentions after the performance episode.
Ann-Marie Thomson, global head of media for Syco Entertainment, who works in tandem with Fox president of digital David Wertheimer, David Luner, evp of interactive and consumer Products at FremantleMedia Enterprises North America, and Jill Johnson, head of digital and interactive for Syco, among others, credits a "constant dialogue with fans." And yes, X Factor listens. "Their feedback influences so many aspects of the show," she says. "They tell us what they like and what they don't."
Adds Johnson: "We're in an interesting time when digital audiences are growing exponentially and we have the challenge of getting our arms around as much of that growth as possible. With progressive partners like Pepsi we've been able to dominate this expanding ecosystem, controlling more than 25 percent of the social conversation every time our show is on the air, and often double digits when it's off. We're able to extend the broadcast story lines and chatter through the entire week and most importantly, we're seeing all of this activity result in a very tangible 30 million views on our YouTube channel every week."
PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Season 12: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj Search for a Winner
Indeed, sponsors such as Pepsi, which hosts the pre-show and seasonal Pepsi Challenge song, and Verizon, which developed The Xtra Factor dual-screen app, have seen real-time results. "The Pepsi Challenge set the gold standard in consumer engagement by utilizing social media to enable fans to influence the actual in show performance elements of contestants including song choice, wardrobe and choreography," Luner explains.
Of course, the real winners here are the finalists, who can see their fanbases growing at a steady clip throughout the season. Says Thomson: "It's very important for the contestants to have that direct relationship with their fans from the outset, during the show and as they continue their music careers."
So who's on the Twitter leader board going into tonight's final? Tate Stevens, a 38 year-old father of two, boasts more than 147,000 followers, putting him in third place; girl group Fifth Harmony come in second with 221,000; while Carly Rose Sonenclar has double that number -- the 13-year-old wunderkind just passed the 500,000 mark.
The X Factor finale airs Wednesday and Thursday on Fox.

I have taken the last 8 or so days to slowly go through every page of your sketchbook and coming from a lowly photographer, I have to say that its not just your work that truly inspires the people that flock to keep track of your professional life; its your work ethic and truly incredible ability to excite all of these artists! You motivate people from all over the world to pursue their dreams, get off the xbox and draw! I have never seen a thread that posts as much as you do and its been a real honor to look into your creative genious and almost, it seems like, look into your life over the last few years.
All the things you have gone through. moving around, your relationship, your heart, your family. It goes to show that there is no excuse when you get off work and think that its ok to sit in front of the TV. If you want to be the best you'll get off your ass and make it happen every day, night, or any time in between. I see that you are one of the few who really truly want it. I wish I owned a company to give you an art directors job! I spend most of my time aside from following your story; on PhotographyMob trying to get it alive again. I hope that from your inspiration I may be even a 100th as successful as you in getting artists alive again.
Good luck in your endeavours, your new home, and getting a full time position. You have and will always accomplish your dreams. I dont see you ever saying, 'im good enough' or 'ive gone far enough'. Ill keep tabs on you

Thanks for sharing the submerged duct data sheet. I always wondered what the parameters were. Usually did TLAR on these. Not sure if its that finicky at this scale. Ken |

Thanks Joe, I love these things too BTW! Quote:
Thank you too Ken. I'm not sure how fussy one should be, but I figure if the US Government can spend millions giving aero science a grant to develope these things and they perfect it to absolute scientific tested data I will use it as close as possible "just because". Got to love good data that is so easy to copy anyway! Fred |

I don't try to add un-necessary wood to my foamy builds, but in the case of battery and gear I always put in some wood to mount the velcro and such to. I also am aware that a 2100mah 2 cell lipo is a bit long and might cause much rash down in the compartment when inserting and removing. So a balsa support for the main former was fashoned and glued into place also. Fred |

Hood Scoop DRAG
HaY Fred speaking of cooling holes/scoops.I put a small thin clear plastic scoop on my jet on the bottom right at the battery cover the cover has holes in it.I put the opening of the scoop facing to the front/nose and I made bigger exhaust hole in the rear for air to escape.the opening of the scoop is about 1/4" by 1" do you think its creating too much DRAG.I never really thought about drag when I put it on.
Thanks Ken |

Don't be too concerned as we all have used the plastic spoon type of scoop and sometimes I still do. Anything sticking out in the air stream causes drag, but to what degree is able to be calculated but beyond our needs. What I would do is try this NACA type next time because it sure doesn't stick out in the air stream and should give a small boost of speed and reserved power consumption. Fred |

My Winter building will be all kinds of things. Wifey brought home some old picture frames with oil paintings that her parents owned. Dad would be 105 years old, and traveled the World as a Dentist in the US Army. Guessing some are from Italy, and Germany too. They had the fancy moulded frame work which was damaged and missing in areas. So I had to try my model building skills to re-build and repair them for her. Look at the samples of this effort so far. She wanted them to still look old, but not beat to heck! Wasting time? Not if someone likes to own what you build or make for them! Fred ImagesView all Images in thread
