The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie: Everything We Know
Everything we know about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, including a look at the original script!
The latest attempt to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the screen has been somewhat more rocky than expected. After an early draft leaked, some controversial comments about the film's direction, and a constantly shifting release date, the Turtles reboot has dealt with a surge of conflicting information and fan rage. Whether it was something as seemingly innocuous as shortening the film's title to Ninja Turtles (but as it turns out, we are indeed getting the full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title) or the more drastic issue of giving the Turtles extraterrestrial origins (something which also appears to have been ditched), the latest Michael Bay produced, Jonathan Liebesman directed TMNT movie hasn't left us with any shortage of things to talk about.
The Story:
We don't know much about the current story, but an early draft of the screenplay (dated January 30, 2012) by Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec (the gents who wrote Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) with the rather secret sounding title of "The Blue Door" leaked and sparked an internet firestorm when details were revealed. Having read this draft, I can tell you that it isn't nearly as bad as folks would have you believe. The controversy stemmed from the revelation that the Turtles' origins were extradimensional in nature (from Dimension X, as a matter of fact), although they BELIEVED that their origins were the familiar "turtles wading in mutagenic ooze" story from the comics, cartoons, and previous films.
"The Blue Door" was certainly no worse than Turtle films like Secret of the Ooze or Turtles in Time. If nothing else, we would have been treated to proper live-action versions of Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang (including his giant robot power suit), and the Technodrome. Unfortunately, the rest of the script is unremarkable in virtually every way other than a really perplexing final act, and some story choices that, even if you aren't a Ninja Turtle purist (we exist!), simply don't sit right.
Among those who voiced their displeasure with "The Blue Door" was TMNT co-creator Peter Laird, who offered his thoughts on the script saying that it "should be tossed out, deliberately forgotten, and...started again." However, Michael Bay was quick to point out that this draft "was written well before I, or anyone else at Platinum Dunes, was involved with the project. That script saw the shredder a long time ago." In a more recent interview, Bay was emphatic on the subject of whether the Turtles are aliens, saying "It's the ooze! It's from the original source material...I do listen to the fans and I do want this to be authentic." Even the Turtles' Raphael (Alan Ritchson) got in on the act when he said, "The assumptions, everything you read online is wrong."
So what, if anything, CAN we learn from "The Blue Door?" I think it's safe to say that the Turtles attitudes and personalities will remain intact...which isn't saying much, because they all behaved exactly as you would expect them to in the first place. It also seems likely, since the Turtles will be motion-capture/CGI creations, that their look (and their individual physical quirks) may survive. Note this description from page 15 of "The Blue Door":
"Three enormous creatures, each standing near six-and-a-half feet. Turtles by the looks of the shells surrounding their cores. With arms and legs distinctly more humanoid. And rippled with muscles...you'll recognize them as our boys. But not in a way you've ever seen them."
There are individual physical and personality traits which distinguish them. Leonardo is described as "muscled like a middle-linebacker, he is the oldest of the turtles." Raphael is "the most yolked of the group. and boy does he need those massive shoulders to carry around that giant chip." Donatello is "the brainiest and most zen." While, unsurprisingly, Michelangelo is "the youngest and most free-wheelin'." Throughout the script, the Turtles use their shells offensively and defensively, even retracting their extremities completely within them in order to barrel through walls or bowl over foes. Based on the trailer (which you can watch right here) it appears that some of those descriptions DO indeed hold true to what was in that draft.
The Cast:
A look at the cast seems to confirm Bay's statement about The Blue Door having seen "the shredder" (we can only presume the pun was intentional). There is no mention of Bebop, Rocksteady, or Krang...not to mention Casey Jones, who was THE central human character in "The Blue Door" draft. On the other hand, the film has added a number of other characters who might be especially familiar to fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series (if not the comics) K. Todd Freeman plays Baxter Stockman, Whoopi Goldberg is Bernadette Thompson (April's boss), Will Arnett is April's cameraman, Vernon Fenwick, and Minae Noji plays Karai (who first made an appearance in the comics in 1992). None of these characters were present in "The Blue Door" draft, and it all seems to confirm Bay's statement (and Laird's wishes) that a page one re-write was done on the project, almost certainly with the involvement of Evan Daugherty (Snow White and The Huntsman) who isn't credited on "The Blue Door."
As for the Turtles themselves, they'll be voiced by the same actors who wear the motion-capture suits. Alan Ritchson is Raphael, Noel Fisher is Michelangelo, Jeremy Howard is Donatello, and Pete Ploszek is Leonardo. Seinfeld alum, Danny Woodburn is Master Splinter. And, of course, one character who will not require motion capture is Megan Fox as April O'Neil. In a recent development, Johnny Knoxville will voice Leonardo and Tony Shalhoub will provide the voice for Master Splinter.
William Fichtner (recently seen in villainous roles in The Lone Ranger and Elysium) is Turtle arch-enemy, The Shredder. It's worth noting that in "The Blue Door" draft, Shredder was also not of Japanese origin, and that hasn't changed with this bit of casting. Then again, the actor told Screenrant that "I actually play a guy named Eric Sachs" in the movie, and that does sound like an anglicized version of Shredder's more familiar name, Oroku Saki. Might this be a plot point? If nothing else, it's better than the "Colonel Schrader" name from the first draft! It's also worth noting that Mr. Fichtner apparently signed a three-picture deal, meaning that Paramount envisions Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a trilogy of films!
The Rest:
It was recently announced that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was getting bumped from its June 6, 2014 release date to August 8, 2014. Paramount apparently didn't want to compete with its other toy-centric franchise film of the summer, Transformers 4. This allows additional time for post-production, since filming on the TMNT movie only wrapped on August 3rd. Given the intricate fight scenes that will likely be involved, combined with the amount of CGI that the main characters will require, we can only assume this is a good thing. We'll keep updating this as more information becomes available. Despite all of the controversy (or perhaps because of it) Paramount has been extraordinarily secretive about this film.
And if you haven't watched the trailer yet, now is a good time to do it!

Wall noise or sound transmission control: this article explains how to make sound-reducing or "soundproof" walls and partitions in buildings as a key component in noise control and sound privacy improvements. Sound transmission reduction wall designs are given for both single stud and staggered double stud structural and partition walls. We include soundproofing suggestions for high noise level areas such as music rooms as well as areas where privacy is a concern such as in counseling and psychotherapy offices. This article discusses methods for controlling sound transmission through building walls. Building noise control - flanking pathways: this article series explains how sound flanking paths, sound leaks around and through building components, defeats incomplete attempts to reduce building sound transmission and noise levels. We include design details for sound reducing details in buildings including soundproof offices, conference rooms or similar spaces.

Sound Control Design & Materials for Sound Transmission Through Building WallsThis article series discusses noise and sound control in buildings, and includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons. How effectively a wall or floor reduces airborne sound is measured by STC ratings (SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS RATINGS). Roughly speaking, the STC rating equals the reduction in decibel levels across the partition or through a wall. Table 5-15 at left gives STC ratings for different partition wall designs. Table of STC Ratings for Typical Wall AssembliesSound transmission reduction In single-stud walls, the most cost-effective sound control upgrade is to double the drywall on one side and add insulation to the cavity, increasing the sound transmission class (STC) from 33 to 40 (See Table of STC ratings of typical wall assemblies at left - click to enlarge the table). The joints on the second layer of drywall should not line up with the first layer. Double-framed soundproof wall construction details: To achieve substantially higher STC ratings requires adding a resilient channel to one side of the wall or decoupling the two sides of a wall with double framing. With no rigid connection bridging the two sides of the wall, sound transmission is significantly reduced. Decoupling and also increasing mass, such as doubling the drywall layers, will help cut transmission of low-frequency sounds as well. For party walls between adjacent living units, STC ratings should be a minimum of 50. Recommended STC levels between bedrooms and adjacent rooms in single family homes and apartments are shown in our Table of Recommended Sound Control for Bedroom Partitions in Single-Family Dwellings. Where privacy and quiet are of concern to clients, a minimum STC rating of 45 is a reasonable target for bedroom and bathroom partitions. For higher STC wall sound transmission values required for special situations, such as a music room or home office, additional upgrades include increasing the mass on either side of the cavity, enlarging the cavity, or adding fiberglass batts or other sound-absorbing materials. Filling the gap more than three quarters of its width with insulation provides little additional benefit. In fact, stuffing the cavity too tightly could reduce the benefit of the fibrous insulation by creating a solid bridge. In general, polystyrene and other closed-cell insulations are poor sound absorbers and provide little benefit. Closets along a wall can help buffer sounds as long as doors are solid, not louvered. In general, doors should be within 10 STC points of the surrounding wall. Solid-core doors are recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. Where higher-level sound isolation is required, you will need to add high-quality gasket-type weather-stripping and a sealed threshold. Also the gap between the door jamb and studs should be caulked or grouted to avoid sound leaks around the door. Table of STC Ratings for Typical Wall Assemblies (continued)

For your summer enjoyment, we would like to recommend a fantastic seasonal six-pack from Uinta Brewing in Salt Lake City, Utah – a blonde ale appropriately named Sum'r. It's a "session beer" by definition which means it's low in alcohol, very clean – essentially, a brew designed for a "drinking session," in which the modern idea is to try an array of beers. (more…)

Ahh, rosé season… Every March, I wait expectantly for the release of the year's rosés like a puppy waits for a treat. I feel a special giddiness the moment we fill our wine shelves with pretty pink and peach-hued bottles that beautifully catch and reflect the sunlight. Rosés are the much-anticipated first release of the spring season, they are a litmus test of a vintage, and a tease of what their more robust, red brothers will deliver later in the year. (more…)

Small Estate Port: Quinta do Infantado Tawny Porto

Porto, or "port" as it is known in English, is made in the Douro Valley of northern Portugal. There are many grapes port-makers are allowed to use, but the most common are Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo), Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Touriga Francesca and Touriga Nacional.
Port was a byproduct of the ongoing wars between France and England. Without wines from France, the English were forced to look elsewhere to satisfy demand. Portugal provided a good alternative, but the long boat trip from Portugal often resulted in spoiled wine. To combat spoilage, winemakers began adding high-alcohol aguardente to their wines to stop fermentation, leaving a more sturdy, higher alcohol wine with some residual sugar. These new fortified wines could make the trip no problem! (more…)
A Favorite Sherry: El Maestro Sierra Amontillado – 12 Años
Posted in Beverages, Food History, Food Science, Pairings, Spain, Wine, tagged amontillado, El Maestro Sierra, fino, flor, Jose Antonio Sierra, oloroso, Pilar Pla Pechovierto, Sherry, Spain, Wine on April 22, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
Sherry ("Xerez" in Spanish) is made in the region of the same name on the southern tip of Spain near Gibraltar. There, Palomino grapes are grown on chalky soils called albariza. The grapes are fermented into dry wines, then fortified and placed into large, 500L oak barrels. Some of these barrels develop a thick layer of yeast called flor (literally "flower").
Flor is naturally occurring, unpredictable, and can't be induced or controlled once it occurs! When it does form, the wine ages underneath without oxidizing, resulting in what is known as a fino Sherry. If the flor forms, but then dies off or doesn't develop, the wine, if deemed rich and robust enough, is fortified a bit more and then allowed to slowly oxidize and become an amontillado. If a flor does not form at all, the wine will be fortified further and will be aged in wooden barrels to become a richer and darker oloroso Sherry. In the case of amontillado and oloroso styles of Sherry, exposure to oxygen turns the wine a coppery color, and encourages the development of toasty, nutty aromas. Yum. (more…)
Nikolaihof Elderflower Syrup: A Taste of Austria

Just in time for the steamy weather – our shipment of Nikolaihof elderflower syrup has arrived from Austria. Many of you have seen this syrup on our shelves before and, I hope, have had a chance to try it. Nikolaihof makes stunning Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings but now is the time for a taste of their heavenly hollerblüten or elderflower syrup.
Nikolaihof, in the beautiful Wachau region along the Danube, is the oldest wine estate in Austria and is now run by the Saahs family. The earliest known reference to winemaking on the estate dates back to 470 AD, and the Saahs still use a wine cellar built by the Romans. The entire estate is run according to biodynamic principles. As a result, the Saahs plant and harvest according to the moon calendar and use only homeopathic treatments for the grapevines and other plants. (more…)

All the Nokia Lumia 920 specs and features plus details on the UK release date and pricing for the Windows Phone 8-packing handset
Nokia Lumia 920 Specs: 8 Things you need to know
After the Samsung ATIV S was outed as the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone at IFA last week, Nokia has joined in on the action by unveiling the Nokia Lumia 920, its latest flagship smartphone that it hopes will continue the fight against the soon to be announced iPhone 5 and the current slew of great Android phones. Set to be Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 8 handset alongside its more budget-friendly Nokia Lumia 800, we take a snapshot look at the features that might tempt the money out of your pocket for the Nokia Lumia 920 Build and designIncorporating the same polycarbonate materials used on the Lumia 900 and 800 Windows Phone 7 handsets, the Lumia 920 will be available in a variety of bright shades which include yellow, lipstick red and slate grey. The physical buttons are now made from ceramic which Nokia claims are impossible to scratch, while there's now a new curved glass screen which we will move onto next. ScreenMeasuring in at 4.5-inches, the Lumia 920 features a PureMotion HD+ display which Nokia boldly claims is the brightest display on the planet but no doubt the likes of Samsung will probably contest that. Using ClearBright technology, the display detects sunlight and will adjust colour and brightness accordingly to deliver optimum viewing whatever conditions you find yourself in. CameraNokia's amazing PureView camera technology was somewhat wasted on the Symbian-packing 808 handset, so thankfully the Finnish mobile-maker is bringing the high end snapping tech to the Lumia 920. The 8.7-megapixel rear-facing camera with Nokia PureView and Carl Zeiss optics will be able to deliver clear, bright images using floating lens technology and an F2.0 aperture that lets in five times more light than its smartphone compatriots, all without the need for a flash. It's also worth mentioning that advanced optical image stabilization will also help reduce those blurry pics On the video shooting front, you will be able to capture full HD 1080p content at 30fps, while the 1.2 Megapixel front-facing camera will be able to shoot 720p HD video. Nokia Maps and City LensOne thing that Nokia has seemingly been quite good at of late is its navigation software and now it has announced that Nokia Maps, Drive and Transport will be available on the Lumia 920 with a few new features. Nokia Maps now has access to offline mapping content while Nokia Drive now features a voice guided satnav. New Nokia Transport will help you get to work whether indoor or outdoor in a similar way that Google Now does, while the Layar-style City Lens augmented browser will display real-time information overlaid onto shops and restaurants as you walk past them on the high street. Battery and processorThere's a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 dualcore processor and a 2,000maH battery on board which will make the Lumia 920 30% more efficient than quadcore alternatives, but the biggest news in terms of juicing up the Lumia 920 is the introduction of wireless charging. This means you will be able to sit the handset on a type of recharge pillow (leaked prior to the phone's official announcement) to give your handset a power nap. The good news is that companies like Virgin Atlantic will introduce wireless recharge plates while a range of charging accessories, stands will be available including the new JBL Powerup that charges and also plays music from the Lumia 920 via NFC. Windows Phone 8Of course the Lumia 920 will become Nokia's flagship Window Phone 8 handset and amongst some of the features to expect, you will be able to use Live Tiles on the home screen which will display information such as missed calls and text messages, customization of Internet Explorer and the ability to take screen shots. Closely aligned with Windows 8, the tile-styled operating system will also have SkyDrive integration to make sharing files and photos a lot easier. More: Windows Phone 8 features StorageTo compensate for all the music, pictures and video you are likely to accumulate, there is 32GB of integrated memory with MicroSD card support on board as well. If that's not enough, you can head into the clouds and use 7GB of free SkyDrive storage. UK Price and release dateSo when can you buy the Nokia Lumia 920 in the UK? Well, the Finnish mobile maker has yet to reveal details about a release date or how much it will cost to buy outright, but we will let you know as soon as we know more.

Love is a curious thing. And on Community, it just gets curiouser and curiouser. So curious, in fact, that this Valentine's day, the Greendale gang is actually celebrating Halloween (the perils of having one's season pushed back a few months, we suppose). While it feels rather counterintuitive to watch tales of ghosts and goblins and Pierce on a day about celebrating love, it's actually pretty normal in the realm of Community, where love gets a little... frightening at times.
Consider this list one for the single people out there. You may be alone today, but at least you're not in one of these scary relationships:

Everything I Dean, I Dean It For Jeff
The Dean may have stopped off in Dalmatian town, but his heart truly beats (yeah, we'll go with that PG version) for Jeff Winger. Just a single look from Jeff in his devilishly stylish aviators sends the Dean over the edge, (nudge, nudge) if you know what we mean. Yeah, we're a little scared by this too.

Re: 5"5" draft too much for mid & upper Chessie?
We went and looked at the Bene today, what a lovely boat, it's VERY well kept and attended to. It's in the best condition of any of the boats we have looked at. The owner is a real knowledgeable, nice and easy going person who is only selling the boat due to his wifes a transfer out of state. My Admiral gave the nod but mentioned she liked the Catalina 320 too (a few times). I had to ask her (a few times) what she liked best, she finally admitted the 320. I see advantages and disadvantages in either choice and would be happy with either. The owners presentation and care of the Beneteau 331 does give it the edge in my view BUT I want something the wife can't wait to get down to the marina for. So it looks like the Catalina 320 for us.
BTW here is the link to the Beneteau (Really cool spinnaker).

In Baghdad today, Vice President Joe Biden seemed to downplay the threat of an Iranian missile hitting the U.S.
"I think we are fully capable and secure dealing with any present or future potential Iranian threat," Biden told CNN.
"The whole purpose of this exercise we are undertaking is to diminish the prospect of the Iranians destabilizing that region in the world," Biden said. "I am less concerned — much less concerned — about the Iranian potential. They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America."
Asked about the Vice President's statement, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said, "don't think anybody has sugarcoated the notion that we believe that their illicit nuclear program poses great security concerns for us and for many…in the international community. I think what Vice President Biden was talking about was exactly the renewed and updated intelligence assessment that led the very same people in 2006 to recommend, one, architecture and configuration, two, based on that updated intelligence, recommend to the president something different in 2009, again, partly based on capability and technology."

Who'd have thought waste management could be this much fun?
The classic block-dropping puzzle genre is transformed with a liberal sprinkling of trash.
Filled with explosive, cartoony style, Trash Panic is a colourful, frenetic and utterly addictive challenge.
A conveyor belt carries an unstoppable stream of rubbish towards your dustbin – and your job is to make sure all of the junk fits in. As everyday objects – from pencils and teddy bears to barrels, bikes and bags of potatoes – arrive for disposal, you must think quickly, and tactically drop each item to efficiently compact the bin's contents and score points.
Use heavy items to smash the trash, set fire to waste that will burn; some litter even rots away when it comes into contact with the right substances.
Will you dispose of your garbage using Eco or Ego play? Ecologically-minded Trash Panickers get rid of their garbage by breaking it down or helping it decompose. If you're more interested in burning everything in sight and detonating exploding items, it's definitely the Ego route for you.
Either way, just keep your eyes peeled for valuable items that have been thrown away by mistake – let one slip through and you'll be showered with a punishing rain of penalty trash!
- A new twist on the classic block-dropping puzzle genre
- Save the planet one piece of rubbish at a time
- Choose the right strategy based on the items available

Hospitals really bother us a lot. We are exposed to them at many levels in our own lives and through media and entertainment. Whether you are the patient or the visitor, no one wants to be there. Yet to dream of a hospital is not uncommon.
As often as not, hospital dreams have little to do with sickness. However, in many hospital dreams, we have good reason to be there. They break down into dreams involving the emergency room, general care, intensive care, being unable to leave, and receiving nonsensical treatment in them.
Emergency room dreams have more to do with the well-being of significant persons and relationships than the emergency room itself. Many times, people involved in emergency room dreams are worried (excessively) about the people coming to see them or the person they are going to see in the hospital.
General care dreams reflect our sense of needing or being needed by others. Differentiated from the above dream, general care dreams do not reflect a crisis-level anxiety, but more of a dependent lifestyle. The relationship in a hospital is a one-way flow from care-giver to patient. This is a picture of dependence.
Intensive care is a place of danger and, at times, release. We all understand that the really sick people are there. It may be that you are needing to let a person go, especially the chronically ill. It may also be a place that reminds you of someone who has already passed.
Being unwilling to leave the hospital may show that you are ambivalent about facing the world independently. For the nuisance that the hospital is, it is also a place of intense care and support. The nature of your illness may be a metaphor for the aspect of your life where extra care and support are needed.
Receiving nonsensical care in the hospital is often a way of working out or illuminating unbalanced needs or demands in life.
Everybody is paying attention to something you feel is unworthy of notice. Or, conversely, nobody will treat you for what you perceive to be the true problem. This can be truly funny if, for example, you acquire a large growth that strikes you as perfectly normal, but concerns others. It may become an object of obsession for numerous doctors, some of whom you may recognize as a boss from work, a romantic partner, a peer from some sort of leisure pursuit, etc. The darker version of this is feeling genuinely ill and being unable to receive treatment for it.

Keeping up with the Jones: Sunderland striker Kenwyne eyes Liverpool move
Liverpool will revive their interest in Kenwyne Jones this summer after the Sunderland striker declared he has not ruled out a dream move to Anfield. Jones, 25, emerged as Rafa Benitez' top transfer target during the January transfer window but the Spaniard failed in his attempts to land the Trinidad and Tobago star. Furious Black Cats boss Steve Bruce foiled Liverpool's loan move by slapping a £15million price tag on the towering forward. But Jones has not given up hope of securing a big-money switch to Merseyside. Red alert: Kenwyne Jones has not ruled out a summer switch to Liverpool 'If one of the world's big clubs comes in for you, it's understandable a player might have the desire to go to that next level,' he said.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Medical reporting is failing
The bewildering facts of the case of Brian Sinclair, a double amputee who was ignored to death waiting in futility for 34 hours in the HSC emergency room in 2008, could make Manitobans conclude this was an extreme example of medical error in city hospitals. Perhaps. But we can't know that, because Manitobans aren't permitted to know the details of those who die, unnecessarily, due to medical mistakes in hospitals, nursing homes or other facilities here.
That's just one criticism -- lack of transparency -- with a system of reporting critical incidents, the preventable errors in medical facilities that result in real harm, such as death, disability or a prolonged hospital stay to a patient.
The mandatory reporting system, established by provincial law in 2006, resulted from a lengthy, explosive inquest into the deaths of children who underwent heart surgery in 1994 at HSC. It allows staff to disclose in confidence mistakes, prompting a health authority investigation. The report's findings are not released publicly or available to legal proceedings.
The idea was that protecting staff from shame and blame would result in robust reporting of mistakes so they can be fixed and future injury prevented.
However, data compiled by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority show it isn't working.
Reported critical incidents peaked at 283 in 2009, and have since fallen off. The numbers indicate medical staff are not anxious to comply with the compulsion to report. Further, the hope that such a system would foster a "culture shift" -- from an environment of coverup to one of open disclosure for the sake of prevention -- has not happened.
Estimates of the number of medical errors made every year are still evolving, but based on national and international studies, the WRHA expects as many as 1,800 critical incidents happen annually based on admissions to health centres. In 2011/12, the WRHA reported only 212 critical incidents, for a rate of 2.57 per 1,000 admissions -- a far cry from what's happening inside hospitals.
The HSC is the province's biggest hospital and its ER takes in victims with multiple trauma and those with earaches alike. Yet, at 34 reports in 2011, it has the lowest rate of reported medical errors. It can only mean people on the front lines are loath to admit or to disclose when they see something's gone wrong.
The details of the critical incident review -- leaked to the CBC earlier -- into Mr. Sinclair's death from a simple, but unattended urinary infection found some startling facts. Nurses and security staff were repeatedly alerted by people waiting for care that he didn't look good, that he had vomited and some asked if he had been attended to, but all were largely ignored. Security cameras showed that at points during his 34 hours, the ER was actually quite quiet, with few others waiting, and one nurse actually engaged in banter with the man. It was an ER visitor who noticed the man had died and told a security guard.
By law, critical incident investigations are not made public and an inquest underway into Mr. Sinclair's death will not see the report on him. It will not be released in a redacted form to protect the identities of those interviewed. In this way, the public cannot scrutinize the work, reflect on the quality of the investigation nor the weaknesses in Manitoba's ERs, hospitals or other centres. It must accept that the health authorities, hospitals and administrators are making the right fixes to what's broken.
That is asking a lot, especially in light of the abhorrent lack of attention paid to a man with a simple health problem that was allowed to turn deadly during 34 hours of gross neglect.
At the very least, as Liberal MLA Jon Gerrard demanded in 2007, investigations ought to be done by an external agency or actor. Health authorities are in an apparent conflict of interest conducting investigations of their own facilities and staff. Health Minister Theresa Oswald must move immediately to rectify this conflict to give Manitobans some comfort investigations are meaningful and trustworthy.

People come to individual and group therapy to talk about different aspects of their lives and difficulties they may be having in solving some of their problems. Many people experience therapy as a safe place to share their deepest thoughts and feelings without judgment. Individual and group therapy offer two powerful settings for the disclosure of secrets, emotions and experiences that may be difficult to discuss. As the relationship between the client and therapist naturally develops, therapy can provide a framework where one can create the life they desire. The weaving of past stories, events, feelings and traumas, with current emotions, patterns, stressors and events enables us to integrate the past with the present. There is something truly very healing that occurs when someone can feel understood in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance both in the individual and group settings
Significant or Chronic Emotional Distress
Individuals contacting us at Harley Street Psychology essentially seek the therapy we offer to relieve pain or distress. Experiencing emotional pain is part of being human, but sometimes this distress is severe or long-standing and it can impair your daily life and the relationships therein. This emotional pain is often a deterrent in seeking appropriate and effective therapy. We feel that therapy would be appropriate in cases where you feel emotional distress — sadness, anxiety, grief and guilt — that is persistent and troubling both personally and in relation to others.
Relationship Problems
It is often the case that, emotional distress comes from difficulty in relationships. Troubled relationships may involve a spouse, parent, child, co-worker or significant other. Marriage therapy or relationship therapy can help you understand the root of the problem and provide you with the tools you need to correct it. We encounter the full spectrum of relationship difficulties at HSP and provide effective and long lasting treatments you can rely on.
Family Concerns
Families should be a primary source of love, joy, warmth and togetherness in our lives. And yet, family life is also full of many challenging problems and conflicts. If your family is facing a difficult time, family therapy would be an empowering medium to overcome such difficulties. It is essential to ensure that your family life is in a state of harmony or at least working towards a state of balance. A balanced family life can be a major key in your success in this world through providing emotional and mental support when most needed. However, without this balance, at times the people we love can create a greater level of toxicity which can be detrimental to our health.
Coping Mechanisms
Emotional distress or relationship problems are often associated with the coping mechanisms we have learned, such as excessive shyness, weak communication, lack of assertiveness, or poor anger management. The therapy we offer can enable you to acquire or strengthen the skills that can benefit many of the most important areas of your life to ultimately assist you in achieving your full potential. We like to look at therapy as life enhancing, where any deficit in your life can be attended to in a manner which is contructive and lucrative in assisting you achieve your higher purpose in life
Sexual Problems
Sexual dissatisfaction and dysfunction are a growing problem in our society and these common problems can be embarrassing to talk about. We need to understand that sex and sexuality are two areas in life which are not essentially taught to us, in the same way we learn to drive a car. Regardless of where this is in the world there may be a potential stigma attached to its discussion. We at Harley Street psychology ensure that individuals and couples will make substantial progress in obtaining the most enjoyable experience from their sexual functioning and future experiences.
Recent Loss
Powerful attachment to others is a unique human experience. Enduring breaks in these attachments — through death or separation — can result in great emotional pain. We feel unbalanced when this process occurs and we often have various emotions that arise which can cause us to be in great emotional turmoil. It is only once we have allowed ourselves the appropriate amount of time to digest these emotions and their meanings that we can regulate ourselves back to a place of harmony and balance. By learning how to cope with loss and endings, you will find a new perspective on life and understand how to embrace life and be more in the moment.
Victim of Trauma or Abuse
Being the victim of physical or sexual abuse, or another form of violence, such as being in an motorcar accident, can overwhelm your capacity to cope and leave emotional scars that impair your ability to live a normal life. No one should have to endure any of these emotionally scaring experiences, however they do occur. Safety is often at the forefront of our minds when needing a place to digest the emotions attached to what has happened to us. Harley Street Psychology provides a confidential and safe arena to discuss these issues with care and empathic support. We will focus on healing the wound caused by the trauma and assist you in being able to take charge of your life. This experience will empower you to move forward in your life.
A Clinical Disorder or Conditions
Persons with certain mental disorders or conditions can always be ameliorated through therapy. Such disorders may become central to your existence and embed themselves into feeling as though they have meaning and purpose in your life. In many instances they actually become a crutch in dealing with the world which contributes to the difficulty in getting rid of them. These disorders and conditions may disable your potential and capacity to grow. Our broad range of knowledge in various disorders and conditions will aid in your journey of understanding, moving you to a place where you WILL gain a greater sense of control and become empowered to face life in a different manner.
Personal Growth
Establishing a greater sense of meaning and purpose in your life, will always make you feel exhilarated and passionate about facing life on a daily basis. Obstacles and the givens in life often provide us with stumbling blocks and difficulties we at times have no idea how to navigate. Psychological therapy with us can help you overcome these snags, traps and dilemmas that have kept you from reaching your goals and becoming the person you want to be. If you believe that life should be more than what you are experiencing, then it is clear that more work needs to be done on a level of personal growth. Be mindful in considering therapy as an option in aiding you to achieve this feeling of momentum, as it is an investment in your well-being in achieving a life filled with deeper personal satisfaction.
Career Growth
The average time spent on one's career is over 80% of our available time, which often takes a greater hold on our personal time with family and friends and loved ones, creating resentment and misunderstanding. Previous studies have shown that the most beneficial work/life balance is 70% work and 30% leisure. However, with the "success movement" and a world wind of entrepreneurs and success moguls we are aiming at a 50/50 life balance. Most of us believe that this is near impossible and instead of seeking guidance in pushing us to a greater level of mastery we choose to remain in "safe" jobs and continue with what we know. Career issues can essentially affect all parts of your life – family, friends, and even your sense of who you are. By taking ownership of your own career growth and applying our flawless principles and mindsets, we guarantee that your career path will take you to unimaginable heights.

It's the Coney Island with a beer. Wild
From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world. -- Saint Arnoldus
Here in town we actually have a butcher. Fresh quality meats not the supermarket stuff. This place makes their own dogs and they are better than anything I have ever had. Don't know what they make them from may be better not to know.
As a child I was fed hot dogs with peanut butter. It wasnt bad

Spring has sprung here in Vancouver and, with most of us (finally) digging out from winter, I know you must be eager for an update on Jet.
In my last note to you, I announced that hardware design for Jet was complete and that we were ready to start production planning. Now, I'd like to go one step further and provide you with real detail around the advancements we've made on that front as well as outline the remaining milestones and dates to get Jet out the door and into your hands.
As a gesture of my appreciation for your loyalty and continued support, Recon is including a spare clear lens in every Jet pre-order, an accessory worth $60 to $90. I hope you enjoy the free upgrade. Also, this summer, we will be raising the retail price on Jet from $599 to $699 USD (€699 in Europe). This price increase will not affect pre-order customers with orders already in place.
Why the change in delivery timeline? Our own product testing, combined with late-breaking innovations by our suppliers, uncovered a number of opportunities for major improvements to the Jet user experience in high intensity environments. Specifically, we found a way to make the module-to-lens attachment mechanism more robust, improve the durability of the plastics and sealing elements, and achieve considerably better GPS antenna performance. Each of these improvements have been completed and each will have a big impact on overall Jet performance
The interval between the last update and today's news has been too long. Going forward, and in the spirit of transparency, I am committing myself and the company to Jet updates for you on no less than a monthly basis. The dates we have fixed in the calendar for these updates, as a minimum, are the following:
- June 5
- July 17
- August 7
- September 4
- September 25 – Jet begins shipping
Jet is truly coming into the home stretch and the product is looking and feeling great. We really appreciate your contribution to making this product a reality. We couldn't pull it off without you.
As always, I welcome your comments, ideas and feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll do my best to respond to your email as promptly as possible.
Best regards,

Why Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold (FCX) Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold (FCX - Get Report) fell 2.12% to $30.72, down 66 cents from its previous close of $31.38, at the close of the trading day on Tuesday amid news that the company's Indonesian copper and gold mine had cut ore production by approximately 60%.
The news comes two months after the miner ceased exports due to a dispute with the government on a new tax introduced on Jan. 12 that is part of a collection of new mining rules designed to force miners to build smelters and process raw materials within Indonesia.
Freeport has also stated that the milling rate has been half its normal rate at its Indonesian mine since mid-January, according to Reuters. Freeport also believes the tax breaches its contract. The company continues its talks with the government.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates FREEPORT-MCMORAN COP&GOLD as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate FREEPORT-MCMORAN COP&GOLD (FCX) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 8.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 30.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 89.40% to $2,396.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, FREEPORT-MCMORAN COP&GOLD has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -50.21%.
- The gross profit margin for FREEPORT-MCMORAN COP&GOLD is rather high; currently it is at 50.50%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 12.01% trails the industry average.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Metals & Mining industry and the overall market, FREEPORT-MCMORAN COP&GOLD's return on equity has significantly outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income has decreased by 4.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $743.00 million to $707.00 million.
