Leona Lewis's new album: Why you should be very excited for it
When Leona Lewis announced that she had left Simon Cowell's Syco record label back in 2014 it came as a welcome surprise. The fans had been calling for her to leave the X Factor label for sometime after the messy release of third album Glassheart, which saw her sell a tiny fraction of what she is clearly capable of.
But not many – this writer included – thought she would ever jump ship. Leona was the original X Factor superstar. Before 'Bleeding Love', winners were seen as second-rate popstars with a two-album shelf life at best. 'The Voice of an Angel' crushed that perception, and helped Cowell sell the X Factor brand across the world, as well as opening the pathway for later international breakouts such as One Direction, Little Mix and Olly Murs.
So you'd be forgiven for thinking Syco would a) make sure Leona had the freedom, confidence and resources to continue to make the best possible albums, and b) make sure their prime diva was content with the direction of her career so she doesn't become desperate to leave. Obviously, judging by Leona's subsequent departure to Island Records, it got to a stage where neither of these things were happening. And while this was all brewing behind the scenes, Leona's meek and mild demeanour meant she kept a high level of class and didn't shout off to the press or vent frustration on social media.
However, with that in mind, album number five is very much a case of let the music do the talking. There's no escaping the break-up lyrics that lead the new tracks. This isn't the breakdown of a personal relationship, though, but rather a professional one. Leona opened her showcase in London last night (April 14) with new track 'I Am'; an empowering mid-tempo ballad that has a razor sharp defiance. It has jolts of breakbeats on the chorus, and isn't wildly different sonically from what we've heard from her before, but the biggest change comes in the tone of the narrative, proving that behind that sweet Hackney smile there is plenty of bite with plenty to say.
The toughest challenge Leona has always faced is mastering an uptempo number that she can feel comfortable with. It's one she has finally cracked with 'I Got You'; a bouncy groove with a funk-driven undercurrent. It's positive, it's infectious, and it has a real chance of becoming a hit. But most importantly it's a pacier track that agrees with Leona's natural style and rhythm, rather than cornering her into a full-blown techno blowout that feels forced.
What's more, following track 'Ladders' also flits between mid-tempo and uptempo territory, building into a gospel-like crescendo towards the end. Leona explained that the song deals with appreciating the lows as much as the highs, hinting that she needed to experience the bad times at her former label to get to where she is now. We suspect it won't prove easy listening for Mr Cowell.
Leona Lewis plays showcase at the Hospital Club in London.
Essentially, it wouldn't be a Leona album without a soaring ballad, and 'Thank You' was dedicated to her parents who have helped her through some teary nights in recent years. It's a classic slow number that allows Leona's insane vocal range full space to reach its peak, reminding us of those intricate ad-libs and powerhouse belting notes that made 'Bleeding Love' a worldwide smash. As one person rightly whispered in the crowd: "They don't make X Factor winners like this anymore."
It ended on new single 'Fire'; a jaunty, soulful number, with a foot-stomping beat and Leona on the piano. It's hard to ignore the whiff of Adele's 'Rolling In The Deep', but it almost ramps it up even higher with an electrifying guitar solo in the middle and Leona belting "fire" over sassy claps. It's an extremely solid lead for the album and easily has the potential to put Leona back at the top of the chart.
This is clearly going to be Leona's statement album. From what we've heard so far it's full of passion, heartache and struggle, but it's lined with hope and a general sense that this is the happiest she has ever been with what she is performing. Every man and his dog knows that Leona has an incredibly strong vocal, but now she finally has an equally strong voice to go with it.

Hello everyone, We're really sorry for the lack of updates on the site, We've been so busy with our personal life that We've abandon the site just a bit, but We're back to bring you amazing news. Last night Leona visited Portugal, where she offered an exclusive concert at the Sheraton Pine Cliffs hotel for the 18th edition of the Algarve Summer Festival, in the city of Algarve of this beautiful country.

They recorded some amazing videos that you can watch bellow (more will be added to the playlist as soon as they come out). We also added a set of HQ pictures of the concert to the gallery thanks to click time photo and a short interview that local channel TVI 24 from Portugal made to Leona after the concert (you can watch a little bit Favourite Scar's performance which sounds really good live!) click here to watch the interview

Internet Explorer Security Flaw Puts Users at Risk, Feds Say Switch BrowsersBy: Erika Watts - April 28, 2014
If, for some reason, you still use Internet Explorer to browse the web, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security advises that you switch to a different browser for the time being. A major security flaw was exposed in Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11 that could allow hackers to take over your computer.
The security flaw was discovered over the weekend and reportedly "has the potential to give hackers the same user rights as the current user." According to Microsoft, "The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer."
Not only does the bug potentially allow users to control your computer, it could also give them access to your financial information. "They could start to maybe drop a keylogger on your system and watch when you go to do online banking, get access to your bank accounts, credit card info; that's generally what these folks are looking for," said Michael Gregg, COO of Superior Solutions, a Houston cybersecurity firm.
What Can You Do?
The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), part of the Department of Homeland Security, released a statement today advising Internet Explorer users to switch to a different browser. "US-CERT recommends that users and administrators enable Microsoft EMET where possible and consider employing an alternative web browser until an official update is available," the statement reads.
If you've never used another browser, the two most popular Internet browsers are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. If you're hesitant about installing a new browser, PC World suggests using Internet Explorer in a more secure mode by adjusting your security settings under Internet options.
A Fix is Coming, But Windows XP Users Are Screwed
Microsoft is working to issue a fix, unless you own a Windows XP–in which case, you're out of luck. According to Forbes, approximately 25 percent of people still use Windows XP, and Microsoft ended tech support for XP earlier this month.
Microsoft issued the following warning to XP users less than three weeks ago: "If you continue to use Windows XP after support ends, your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses." No surprise there, but the timing of this bug has some people wondering whether Microsoft ignored the problem to force people into upgrading from XP.
Huge security threat aside, the people who haven't used Internet Explorer as their main browser since the early part of the millennium aren't hesitating to pile on:

Pinflux sketches, or 'that guy with the goggles'. APRIL UPDATE!
Wow, I just had an amazing week in Wellington at the Marama workshop. I've only (barely) lurked on the boards until now, keeping tabs on a few threads. Now that I've met so many awesome people I feel I have to jump in here a bit more seriously.
Highlights from the workshop -
- The Massive Black guys. All totally down to earth people, more than willing to chat about art and anything else, and with mindblowing skillz to boot. I have to be honest and say I hadn't even heard of most of these guys before I arrived, but now am a giant fan of them all.
- Life drawing! I haven't been able to go to any in about a year so it was wonderful getting back into it again, even if I had to use A4 paper. The models were amazing, and diligently held their poses.
- Jason Manley's colour theory talk. It totally blew my mind - I learned far more than should be possible in that small period of time. Now to look for it in the art (and life) around me...
- Poring through Wes Burt's sketchbooks. The tonal strength in his sketchbooks makes grown men weep (I've seen it)!
- Watching Whit paint digitally from life. Nuff said... Was great talking to him as well.
- Winning Thunderdome! The comp rules were to draw a self portrait, and I somehow managed to pull a first! The other entries were simply fantastic, so I was surprised and ecstatic to win. The loot was a painting easel signed by the guys, a brilliant portrait done by Carl Dobsky at the workshop, a few t-shirts and a couple of Massive Black DVD's. Cheers guys!
Pics of my entry and the prizes -
A bit about me - I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I graduated animation school two years ago, and have since started a small animation studio called Rhubarb Zoo with my good friend Dane Jacobs. You can check out our stuff here - www.rhubarbzoo.com, our basic goal is to produce our own creative work, and maybe convince a few people that animation isn't just for kids along the way. At the moment we're cooking up the story for a serialised web series that we'll be releasing once a month once preproduction is finished, but that's a good two years away.
I love to draw/paint and really badly want to improve my work. So far I've only really done colours digitally, and am about to jump into learning to use acrylics. I have miles to go with everything, but especially colour, tone subtlety and backgrounds at this moment. Please crit away on what you guys think I should be working on, and I'll start adding my two cents to the other threads. You should also jump in if I met you at the workshop to let me know who you are (I'm in the unusual situation of having to put an alias to a face rather than the other way around)
Here's a random assortment of stuff I've done from the last year to start the thread off (starting with a few pages from my portfolio), but you can find a bunch more on my blog http://pinfluxsketches.blogspot.com/ -
I actually won my ticket to the workshop with this piece on the NZCGI forum in New Zealand, interpreting the concept of 'time' with this illustration - I wouldn't have been able to come otherwise!
And finally some stuff from reference -
That's all for now... see you guys around!

Hey Jeremy!
It's hilarious how you won the ticket, then won the grand prize for the Thunderdome!

Study Buddy! Download the template here.
Study Buddy - Speedpainting from reference
Something I've been doing for the last month is a wonderful speedpaint scheme someone (I can't remember who I'm afraid) named 'Study Buddy' - I've uploaded a Photoshop template here that you should all download.
Here's an example, the last one I filled out (with reference pics compiled by Flaskpost) -
How to use the study buddy -
1) Pair up with someone who has the time and will be committed to doing the studies on a timeframe. You'll need a total of a little over two hours a week to finish one buddy.
2) Fill the template with cool reference pictures for your buddy to speedpaint. Art, photography, movie stills - anything interesting. Paste all of the reference pictures into the 'references' section of the photoshop file and resize appropriately. Feel free to crop the images as you see fit. Of course, this stuff will be someone else's work, so don't try to take any ownership or treat the results as anything other than simple studies.
3) Shift the circles under the 'circles' folder to the appropriate letter. Hold down the shift button and slide up or down on each. The four options are Mass, Palette, Detail and Composition.
Mass - concentrate on the form of the subject - whether it be through linework or light.
Palette - Attempt to replicate the colour scheme of the subject.
Detail - Focus on a single part of the subject and paint it in detail. For example you may try to render only the hair of your subject.
Composition - Using block colours, try to match the exact composition of your subject.
4) Fill out the names and set the date for a week from now. Flatten into a jpeg and send it to your buddy, then get them to send you theirs.
5) Get painting! You have a 10 minute time limit per image, so think big when you are painting and don't get too close. I like to mask off the area around where I am painting to make it easier. Get em done all at once or break it down and do a couple per day. I also like to drag the finished image over the top of the original at the end to help figure out what I did right and wrong.
6) Once the week is over send the result back to your friend as a jpeg and start the process again!
At the risk of oversaturating this post with lists, here are some reasons why this method works -
- You're accountable to someone else. It's a lot harder to let laziness kick in and ignore your studies when you owe them to someone else within a timeframe!
- You'll never know what you'll have to draw! Not only is the element of mystery exciting, but you'll improve in areas you wouldn't have otherwise as your buddy will choose reference shots you may not have.
- It's fun! The 10 minute limit might seem daunting at first, but once you settle in you'll discover it's very refreshing flitting from subject to subject, trying to get across different things in the timeframe. Putting together your buddy's template and seeing the results is also really fun and rewarding.
Well, I hope some of you decide to start this thing up. I've only done four of them and I can already see a decent improvement in my speedpainting abilities! Enjoy!

New for this week - one coloured piece (painted onto the lines in one of the sketches above) and tonnes of sketches from the MB workshop...
I started a sketchbook at the same time as Vodka and Jeff Lai in a sort of competition, which never really came to anything as we completely forgot to compare how far we got before I left Wellington. It probably made me draw a bit more than I would have otherwise, at the least. A bunch of the stuff in these pages are observational drawings.
Went to Welly Zoo one glorious day before the workshop had started. I put sunblock everywhere but the two tiny gaps of skin in the recesses of my receding hairline right above my goggles. Looked a bit weird up there for the rest of the week.
I had a blast looking through Vodka's sketches one night after the workshop and had to rip a bunch of stuff out, modifying slightly to my own style.
I managed to do a fair bit of life drawing at the workshop itself. It's all quickish stuff, I've never done life drawing with A4 paper before so it all felt a bit small.
Lastly some 1 minute gesture drawings.
More sketches post-Wellington -
The boy the the hat and the two girls on the right are from reference in the first sketch, and the three girls in the second page are too.
I tasked myself with the lofty goal of redesigning 40k's Space Marines, until my drawings veered wildly from the source material and then I got bored and drew something else - namely studies in form! I read a bit of Michael D. Mattesi's book on Force, and decided to follow his lead and draw from reference, not sketching in the shadows in but instead following the models form with the pencil. Mixed results, but it was certainly fun and I wanna do some more.
And finally a girls face, again from reference.
Holy cow, was that too much? I hope some of you have started using the study buddy, I wanna see some of your results and improvements!

Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty
Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

- ditherings
2009 March 20, Jim Coyle, "Resurrection of Harrisites boggles mind", Toronto Star:add
- To revisit some of the highlights ??or more properly lowlights ??of the Harris era is to be struck by the suspicion that this unholy renaissance of an ideology and its cast of adherents might well keep the Liberal government of Premier Dalton McGuinty in power for perpetuity, irrespective of his dreamy ditherings or the havoc global economic chaos inflicts on Ontario.
- gallumph
2009 March 20, Rosie DiManno, "A defendant both venomous and vulgar", Toronto Star:add
- It's for the jury to decide whether M.T. coerced her gallumph of a boyfriend into killing Stefanie, over perceived jealousies and relationship insecurities and purported rumour-mongering ??though the jury did not hear any evidence that Stefanie had, in fact, passed on any tittle-tattle about M.T. giving oral sex to boys, as alleged somewhere in that mountain of infantile cyber discourse.

- turtled
2009 March 20, Dave Feschuk, "Raps show some fight but it's all just in jest", Toronto Star:add
- And it's interesting, too, that now that Mensah-Bonsu has arrived to demonstrate the way an off-the-bench energy player is supposed to perform, Graham has turtled while Mensah-Bonsu, too late an aberration, has been the rare Raptor to do more than pretend to fight.

Discussion in 'Other Equipment' started by darklore009, Aug 7, 2013.
Kimony punched overgrip. Would love to hear your thoughts; it's one of my favorites right now.
Darklore, I would like you to try out the new Pro's pro Kudeta overgrip.
They look very similar to a old Tyger overgrip I have, which I love, but can't seem to buy anymore.
Have you tried Klipper's overgrip (white)? If so what overgrip(s) come closest to it?
I've been trying for years to find an overgrip that compares to it, it has a very unique feel. I would use it but it's too wide, so it's very difficult to put it on Head's rectangular handle.
Hi Darklore009, just want to get your opinion on what characteristic of an OG contributes to blistering?
coming from tecnifibre contacts when I switched to yonex supergrap I started to have blisters. The first 2 outings with the yonex were great but on the 3rd and onwards it started giving me blisters.
This is with the same amount of court time and intensity in hitting sessions and match plays.
Separate names with a comma.

Jewellery & Watch Insurance
Make sure these high value items are included in your high net worth home insurance policy
Over time, many of us acquire expensive items of jewellery or watches. Yet few standard 'off-the-shelf' home insurance policies offer sufficient cover with low single item limits and modest overall cover – £5,000 for all items being typical.
The best solution to this common problem is a high net worth home insurance policy that includes your contents and jewellery together with your buildings. Such policies are competitively priced yet offer the levels of cover needed by wealthier individuals, tailored to their individual needs.
Why you should consider it
- Provides specialist cover from top name insurers
- Delivers total flexibility with cover for automatic and unrestricted worldwide use and 'mysterious disappearance'
- Competitively priced when compared to a stand alone valuable items policy
- Offers various settlement options in the event of a loss
To discuss how our jewellery and watches insurance could improve the protection of your valuables, or to arrange a quote, call us now on 0118 9165480 or email us.

Hard Flash Diffuser for Soft Light
100 photo product profiles in 100 days: Day 23Read More
The Flashpoint Flash Diffuser easily mounts on your flash and produces a Diffused Bare Bulb Effect to soften the shadows and the harsh effect from directflash. Compact and easy to use. 41mm X 70mm
Most Liked Positive Review
It works fine for me
I have only used two different diffusers and they were similar -- but it fits perfectly and does what I need -- diffuse the light.
Most Liked Negative Review
Great, but might accidentally slide off
A diffusor works *great* indoor, and this Flashpoint (Adorama-brand) works as good the other ones. However, mine seems to slide a bit off. If you spend $2 more, you can get the similar diffusor by Sto-Fen. I bought both, but feel the Sto-Fen keeps better in place. Still - very useful product, and definitely usable!
Reviewed by 25 customers
It barely stays on a SB600, comparing to a set of 3 color diffusers I bought on the other "A" site, this one is just awful, stay away from it if you plan to use it on an SB600
The hardest part is not to lose it since is so small. I admit I got one, lost it before I got to use it.... lol Had to get a second one. Is very convenient and it works like a charm !
I owned a similar diffuser (I don't remember the brand) that worked perfectly well with my Nikon SB-600 flash, which I lost on a road trip. I bought this one as a replacement because it looked like the one I owned before. I was very disappointed by the product. The material is fine and it works well if you don't move much. But because it fits very loosely the moment you move it falls down.
it is easy to use, use fir night photography,full flash
Less expensive that the commercial model
Warps easily and falls off flash constantly. If you tape it on with gaffer tape or similar works fine but could do the same with tissue paper over flash
Good for reducing redeye, making the light from the flash softer and not as brash. Good for fill light softening the shadows.
make the SB 600 a better tool....
The fit isn't the greatest and doesn't take much to fall off or get knocked off. But it does the job and what can you expect for what you pay. Would be nice if it would sit better on the flash head.
This Diffuser is a Must have Item for all around flash use! (My SB-800 came with one, so when I purchased, my Backup flash unit : a SB-600: I purchased the Diffuser- since I didn't want to be without one.)

Simplicity is often the best way to go. The Flashpoint Flash Diffuser, which is virtually the same as the Sto-Fen Omni Boucne (but costs a bit less), is a simple plastic box that fits over specific flash units.Read More

One person dies, another injured in Big Beaver home fire
The person killed in a Big Beaver fire on Thursday likely won't be identified for a few days, authorities said.
Two residents who escaped identified the victim as Patricia Parisi, said Big Beaver fire Chief Adam Crepp.
Parisi shared the home with David Dunn, authorities said.
Positive identification could not be made because the body was badly burned, Beaver County Coroner Teri Tatalovich-Rossi said.
Roger Bilyou, who lived in the basement of the home in the 1300 block of Shenango Road, said Dunn, who is his brother, ran into the basement shortly before 2 a.m. to say that the house was on fire, according to Crepp.
Crepp said he believes that Bilyou escaped unharmed through a basement window, while Dunn tried to rescue Parisi.
"After he warned Bilyou, he didn't make it very far," Crepp said.
The fire singed Dunn's beard and moustache. He went to UPMC Mercy, Uptown, for treatment; his injuries are not life-threatening, Crepp said.
When firefighters arrived, flames were tearing through the living room in the front of the house, Crepp said.
Firefighters doused the flames from the outside. When they got inside, firefighters found the burned body in the living room.
One of the two residents said that Parisi had used an oxygen tank.
The house received heavy damage from flames, smoke and water, Crepp said.
State police fire Marshal David Jungling said the cause of the blaze remains under investigation, but it does not appear that foul play was involved.

Aligators and miles
... for the aligators. A splendid visit!
The rest of the day is spent chewing up the miles - not a bad day actually with a few stops. Very hot though and we eventually got to the Days Inn hotel at Perry about 7pm.
A lovely shower with a chance to also wash some smelly clothes left us somewhat refreshed. Straight down into the local Mexican restaurant where the food was good but the beer ever better.
To bed at 10pm to catch an early start tomorrow!
Alligator Alley
... the waiters didn't seem have more than a smattering of English.
Suitably fortified we retired to bed with the prospect of another long day ahead - a 442 mile journey to New Orleans.
Apologies for the lack of photos,but I just haven't had the time to upload any as I've been spending eight or nine hours on the bike each day. Will rectify the situation as soon as possible.

Great location and quiet safe property. The staff is always helpful and friendly. if i have an issue it is addressed quickly.
As my year lease comes to a close I wish I could renew but I am moving for another job. Everything was great, staff and administration were very professional. Also, the price is probably the best bang for your buck near lodo and cap hill. Would renew again.

Lived here for 1 year. It's cheap and down town - close to EVERYTHING. Parking is absolutely the worst part about living here.

Seriously, I think this place is great. We have a ton of **huge** windows in our place, high ceilings, views of beautiful old buildings, and you can walk to tons of stuff. Plus we pay just slightly more than I was paying in Wheat Ridge. This is NOT a fake review. I love it here. The only bad part is parking.

CRM For Complex Manufacturers Revolves Around Configuration Software

In addition, Oracle , SAP , Cincom Systems and Intentia , to name only some, have painstakingly gradually introduced their own CRM application suites, which have been increasingly attaining the full-fledged CRM product statuses.

"Revanche" involves a rare coming together of a male's criminal nature and a female's deep needs, entwined with a first-rate thriller. It is also perceptive in observing characters, including a proud old man. Rare is the thriller that is more about the reasons of people instead of the needs of the plot.
Alex and Tamara are a sad couple. In a trashy Vienna brothel, she is a prostitute from the Ukraine, he is an ex-con who works as a bouncer for the reprehensible pimp Konecny. They are having a secret affair. Neither has the nerve to cross the pimp, the ruler of their world. Konecny has his eye on Tamara, and at one point, visits her for sexual purposes while Alex hides humiliatingly under her bed.
Both Alex (Johannes Krisch) and Tamara (Irina Potapenko) are pitiful. They steal moments of love in their grubby rooms, and Alex plots a bank robbery. He brings her along in the getaway car. It will be easy, he says. Nobody will get hurt. Look — his gun isn't even loaded. But it does go wrong, and a cop turns up just as they're driving away.
Alex takes refuge at the only place he can think of, his grandfather's humble farm. And it is here that the story transcends crooks and hookers and bank jobs and becomes so surprisingly human. The catalyst, I think, is the character of the grandfather, played by Hannes Thanheiser.
He's a proud old man, living alone, mourning his wife, feeding his friends the cows, resisting well-meaning attempts to move him into a "home." When he dies, he wants to be carried out of his farmhouse. He has seen little of his grandson. Alex goes to work, chopping a mountain of firewood for the winter. They eat simple meals of sausage, cheese and bread. I liked the old man and wanted to give him some mustard.
Susanne (Ursula Strauss), a neighbor's wife, visits Alex with offers of assistance. He appreciates her friendliness but not her help. Alex is distant and unfriendly. She takes good notice of him, and out of the blue, asks him to visit her that night, when her husband is away. He does. No formalities. They have sex on her kitchen table.
Of course she is the wife of the cop who happened upon the bank robbery, but none of them can know this. We do. We also know that the cop cannot give her a child, and she wants to become pregnant. In this limited world, the old man's son is the only eligible father; she loves the old man and sees the son working hard for him. The suspense at first involves whether the cop will happen upon them having sex.
Then "Revanche," nominated this year for the best foreign film Oscar, begins to involve a great deal more. It's here that the film's power resides. It seamlessly brings together the possibility of violence, of Alex's exposure, of threats to Susanne's marriage, of harm to the old man's well-being, in a way that doesn't seem to manipulate these things for advantage. Instead, it simply tells a good story, very well. Susanne becomes the protagonist. She is taking dangerous risks. All three of the men are unhappy and touchy. In a way, she represents their only hope.
As I watched "Revanche," I became grateful that I didn't know the actors. American films often involve actors well known to me, which is fine — but also sometimes stars chosen primarily because they're "bankable." Few bankable stars could work in this material. The Austrian actors look ... normal. Unglamorous. Plausible. Ursula Strauss, as Susanne, looks sweet and pleasant but is care-worn and not a great beauty. As Alex, Johannes Krisch looks like a loser marginalized by crime and prison. As the prostitute Tamara, Irina Potapenko retails what beauty she has in a buyer's market.
All of these actors create characters who are above all people, not performances. That's why the film is peculiarly effective; it's about their lives, not their dilemmas. And the bedrock is old Hannes Thanheiser, born in 1925, as a strong, stubborn, weathered old man who doesn't live through his grandson, his neighbors or anyone else, but on his own terms, in daily mourning of the wife who shared his long life. That harm or loss could come to him would be a great misfortune.
How often, after seeing a thriller, do you continue to think about the lives of its characters? If you open up most of them, it's like looking inside a wristwatch. Opening this one is like heart surgery.

- I have cut and pasted the following message (with my husband's
help! - there, you men, don't say we don't appreciate you), from
yahoo allthemadmen group, where I made my internet participation
debut [8 January 2004].
... whose neurons are dazed ...
Shakespeare's *Tempest*, Act III Scene ii.
Stephano and Trinculo are drunk. The former urges Caliban to drink
deep also, whilst the latter mocks him. Ariel enters invisibly, is
witness to Stephano's manipulation of the other two, buffeting
Trinculo to the amusement of Caliban, who readily supplies
information for a plot to kill his master, Prospero. Stephano
starts to sing, whilst Caliban objects it is not the right tune for
the ditty. So Ariel plays the tune on a tabor and pipe. This
unseen phenomenon draws forth the varying reactions of the three
characters, taking us nearly to the end of the scene.
This is the tune of our catch, played by the picture of Nobody.
If thou beest a man, show thyself in thy likeness: if thou beest a
devil, take't as thou list.
O, forgive me my sins!
He that dies pays all debts: I defy thee.
--Mercy upon us!
Art thou afeard?
No, monster, not I.
Be not afeard:the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,
That, if I then had wak'd after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again:and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I wak'd
I cried to dream again.

NCAA Football – Week 2
It's a battle in the Beehive State, and it should be a heck of a night for college football betting fanatics, as the Utah State Aggies look to pull off the upset of the Utah Utes.
Utah has taken a lot of steps in the right direction over the course of the last few years, and though it isn't as dominating of a team now in the Pac-12 as it was in the Mountain West, it is clear that it is a program that is going to have the chance to win the Rose Bowl here in the next several years. QB Jordan Wynn has been around the team now for quite some time with varying degrees of success, but this is the year in which he really should shine. He got off to a good start last week, throwing for 200 yards and two TDs, albeit against an FCS team. Wynn has a great back in the backfield in RB John White IV, whom some think could be a longshot Heisman Trophy candidate this year as well. The questions are with this defense. Yes, the unit looked great last week, but in the end, it is a side that is going to give up some points, especially against the brass of the Pac-12. This is going to be a very interesting litmus test against a hungry Utah State team with a heck of a lot of talent.
The Aggies have been dying to become a lot more like their brethren from up the road in Salt Lake City, but alas, they haven't been able to put much of anything together. Their poster child from last year's team, RB Robert Turbin is now in the NFL, and that leaves a massive hole at running back. The good news is that QB Chuckie Keeton now has a year under his belt, and he really looks like he is going to be the man that guides this team in the right direction for the next three years. Keeton threw for 304 yards and averaged over 11 yards per pass attempt in USU's win over Southern Utah last week. Again, we know that we have to be tempered because that came against an FCS team, but any time that you can complete 22-of-26 passing, you have truly done something special.
The Utes have absolutely dominated this series, and they always have. Many are calling for the upset on Friday night, as Utah State figures to be able to step it up and become a bowl team either this year or next. We just don't know, though. There's a reason that Utah is favored, and the point spread has gone up over the course of the last few days. Experience is still on the side of the Utes, and with such a dominating history between these two, we have no choice but to go with the visitors even though times might have changed just a bit since the last time these clubs met in 2009. Utah 41 – Utah State 28
