While this may affect top-line growth in the current market, in the end it best serves the long-term interests of our shareholders and policyholders. We are producing strong results through the disciplined execution of a long-term strategy that allows us to succeed in a historically volatile line of business. We combine a strict focus on profitable underwriting with a dedication to efficient, effective delivery of new products and unparalleled service to our policyholders and agents, allowing us to enhance the strength of our balance sheet while delivering meaningful value for our shareholders," said W. Stancil Starnes, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ProAssurance. He added, "We are confident in our ability to deliver on the promise of Treated Fairly, now and in the future, because of our unique combination of operational discipline, financial strength and wide experience in a broad range of healthcare delivery settings."Business DetailThird quarter 2012 Gross Premiums Written were $157 million, a 10% decrease compared to the year-ago quarter; third quarter Net Premiums Earned were $127 million, a 6% decline over the year-ago quarter. The competitive marketplace, the effect of prior years' improved loss trends and the normal renewal pattern of our two-year policies reduced our top line, but we are committed to writing only that business that meets our pricing objectives. For the first nine months of 2012, Gross Premiums Written were $429 million, a year-over-year decrease of 5%. Net Premiums Earned for the first nine months of 2012 were $395 million, down 2% over the prior year's nine-month period. Premium retention for our standard physician business was 89% in 2012's third quarter, unchanged from the same period a year ago. Through the first nine months of 2012, premium retention in our standard physician business was 90%, a one point improvement year-over-year. Average renewal pricing on our physician medical professional liability book was 2% higher than expiring premium, comparing the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter a year ago. This is partially due to higher rates in our podiatric line of business, where renewals are concentrated in the third quarter. Comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2011, average renewal pricing on our physician medical professional liability book was higher by 1%. We recognized $50 million in net favorable loss reserve development in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $52 million in the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net favorable loss reserve development was $158 million, compared to $142 million in 2011. This net favorable development continues to come primarily from accident years 2004 to 2010 and is significantly attributable to loss severity that has proven to be lower than previously expected. The decline in claims frequency we, and the industry, experienced from 2004 to 2010 has generally not resulted in higher average loss payments (i.e., increasing severity), despite expectations to the contrary. Management is now assuming the moderate severity trend to be more sustainable and thus is giving it more credibility in the more recent accident years even though these accident years are not as fully developed. However, given the long-tailed nature of our claims, we continue to be mindful of the potential for severity to increase when recognizing favorable development in accident years that are not mature.Investment CommentaryIn the third quarter of 2012, our Net Investment Result (Net Investment Income plus Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries) was $34 million, a 7% increase from the same period a year ago. In the third quarter, average yields on fixed income investment balances were marginally higher than in 2011. Additionally, we did see higher earnings from our interests in certain limited partnerships and lower amortization of our tax credit partnership investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our Net Investment Result was $98 million, down 3% compared to the same period in 2011. Net Investment Income was $34 million in the third quarter of 2012, essentially unchanged from a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Net Investment Income was $102 million, a 4% decline from the same period in the prior year. Our average tax equivalent income yield for both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 4.5%, compared with 4.4% in third quarter 2011 and 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The CUSIP-level disclosure of our investment holdings as of September 30, 2012 is available under Supplemental Investor Information in the Investor Relations section of our website, www.ProAssurance.com.

The debt retirement used $53 million of funds previously authorized by our Board for the repurchase of stock and retirement of debt. This leaves us with $135 million available in that Board authorization. As part of the debt retirement, we recognized a loss of $2.2 million in the third quarter. Our Board approved quarterly cash dividends of $0.25 per common share, paid in April, July and October of 2012. Please see the Investor Relations section of our website, www.ProAssurance.com, for a comprehensive history of our dividend payments.Transaction UpdatesDocuments have been mailed to Medmarc policyholders to provide details on the announced transaction that would demutualize Medmarc and bring it into ProAssurance.

changes to the ratings assigned by rating agencies to our insurance subsidiaries, individually or as a group; provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and state insurance law may impede attempts to replace or remove management or attempts to initiate a takeover; state insurance restrictions may prohibit assets held by our insurance subsidiaries, including cash and investment securities, from being used for general corporate purposes; taxing authorities can take exception to our tax positions and cause us to incur significant amounts of defense costs and, if our defense is not successful, additional tax costs, including interest and penalties; and insurance market conditions may alter the effectiveness of our current business strategy and affect our revenues.Additional risk factors that may cause outcomes that differ from our expectations or projections are described in various documents filed by ProAssurance Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as current reports on Form 8K, and regular reports on Forms 10Q and 10K, particularly in "Item 1A, Risk Factors."SOURCE ProAssurance CorporationFor further information: Frank B.

Not at all a barber-shop perfume...I don't get that - at all!It has this smooth, dark and cool stringent woodiness, peppered with a note that, for a long time, I found hard to determine, let alone describe...As for now, I can describe this note as dense, sweet and bitter at the same time...a blend of clove, pepper and anise, with the anise dominating.I have to say, most fragrances that feature a dominant licorice or anise note, give me a rotten headache...but not this. Its there, and its in your face, but it doesn't give you a migraine. I also usually find that that type of note gives my nose an unpleasant tingling feeling - yet again - it doesn't do that in this perfume - but it is there, and if I use too much, it perturbsme in a way that I can't say I like.All in all, the patchouli, cedar, guaiac and oakmoss keep the balance there, and are all notably present throughout. The rosemary gives it a nice herbal coolness, coupled with the bergamot. However, as with all anise/licorice scents, this could do with a little less of that note, and more of the woody/herbaceous notes it otherwise features very nicely!

AboutDisplacement Theory is a sculpture by Neil Molloy. It provokes questions and symbolises the journeys made during the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. Sacks, bundles and suitcases, hurriedly packed with precious possessions makes every one unique. Each piece provides a glimpse into the identities of the owners. Their isolation and fear can only be imagined as they each head towards unknown destinations. The suitcase bears a name, that of Zdenka Fantl, or properly Zdenka Fantlova. A Holocaust survivor, liberated from Bergen Belsen in May 1945, Zdenka's suitcase is on display amongst hundreds of others at Auschwitz where she was also a prisoner. A play on words, the title 'Displacement Theory' is a reminder of how easy it is for such grave events to be removed from our memory. And in particular long term memory, where the information has not been consolidated. It also suggests the displacement of survivors who after a conflict may not have a home to which to return, or of goods discarded when they become too heavy to carry. These pieces form the core of the exhibit. In 2015, Displacement Theory will grow to include further elements and be set in a permanent outdoor location. It will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen Belsen in April 1945, in which troops from the Durham Light Infantry were involved.

Odd and unusual but nevertheless highly imaginative British supernatural horror/thriller story, once more pairing the two legendary genre veterans Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, this time under the skillful direction of Peter Sasdy. "Nothing but the Night" somewhat plays in a league of its own, as you definitely can't compare it to the extremely popular contemporary Hammer productions. I even daresay this is quite a unique piece of Brit-horror, which is probably why it required the constitution of a brand new production company, named Charlemagne, that didn't last very long afterwards. "Nothing but the Night" may be overly convoluted and full of irregularities, but it's really not a bad film and it definitely doesn't deserve the embarrassingly low current IMDb rating of 3.2 out of 10! Adapted from a novel by John Blackburn, the screenplay offers up a very ambitious and compelling mixture of mystery, medical horror, creepy country sides and typically British police work. The film is incredibly fast paced (I can't fathom that some of my fellow reviewers call this movie boring) and the plot is literally a non-stop series of red herrings and vague clues, desperately attempting to avoid that any viewer would figure out the climax too fast. Let me tell you straight away: you won't guess the full denouement no matter how clairvoyant you are, as multiple story aspects and twists in "Nothing but the Night" are simply too absurd and implausible for normal human beings to even consider. Once again, though, this doesn't mean it's not fascinating and entertaining to look at. The film opens with an immediate attention-grabber, as we're right away treated to grisly images of three murders looking like suicide. Police Colonel Bingham (Christoper Lee) later explains to his friend Dr. Mark Ashley (Peter Cushing) that all victims were trustees of a prominent but highly secluded orphanage on a small Scottish island. When one of the orphanage's children is hospitalized after a mysterious bus accident, the young doctor Haynes wants to investigate the girl's bizarre nightmares, but the influential Van Traylen Fund trustees prevent this. The girl's flamboyant and aggressive birth mother also wants to reclaim her, but the orphanage lies isolated and well protected a small island only reachable by ferry boats. Some abrupt plot twists work very efficient, whereas other red herrings are blatantly obvious. For example, we're supposed to believe that Anna Harb the girl's real mother is a complete psychopath, but that would just be too easy. Peter Sasdy maintains a sinister atmosphere throughout and the Scottish isle and countryside filming locations are stupendous. There aren't many bloody moments, but there's a fair portion of suspense and a couple of shocking insinuations. Other people claim that both Lee and Cushing are underused in the film, which may perhaps be a little true, but their characters are terrific and I swear I've seen films where their names were more shamelessly exploited for even smaller roles (like "Scream and Scream Again", for instance). Not a masterpiece of Brit-horror, but a worthwhile movie in case you're looking for something creepy yet different.
With an overall rating of just a bit over 3, I sure didn't expect much
from this Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing collaboration. However, I
was surprised to find this film was a lot better than I'd come to
believe. Perhaps some of the reason the film has a lower score than the
usual fare from these actors is that although the film has the usual
supernatural angle, you don't learn about this until the end. Up until
then, it just seems like a detective film about some nasty ex-con who
is being sought be Scotland Yard. I could say more, but it would spoil
the suspense.
Strengths of the film include a very novel script, generally good acting (though the ex-con is about as unsubtle a character as you can find), and nice location shooting. The biggest minus is that the thing just takes a long time to get going, though by the end of the film the whole thing is steaming full speed ahead.
I don't think this film is as bad as it's been suggested. If you go in
viewing it more as a mystery than expecting faced paced horror from the
start, I think it's enjoyable...it just requires some patience. The
ending rewards you if you allow yourself to stick with it.
Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing do their best with a less than great script, but it's important to keep in mind that most novel-to-screen adaptations do suffer badly, and I think this is more the case here. Gwyneth Strong does an amazing job as Mary Valley, and it makes me curious to see what other work she's done.
If you find a bargain DVD of this one, or see it on late night cable, give it a shot. And if you're a fan of British horror like I am, it is always great to have a visit with Lee and Cushing once again!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I had totally forgotten about this movie. Some people will say that's a
good thing. However, I didn't remember it at all while watching until
the very last scene. Then, I was instantly transported back to the mid
1980's, watching Saturday afternoon television on a local station.
I may be in a great minority with loving this film, which I don't even rank as a true horror film, but it's pretty close. It has shades of The Wicker Man to be sure. Lee and Cushing give some of their best performances and thankfully have a great many scenes together. All of the other actors do fine as well. The countryside near the old fishing village is so succulent you can taste the mouldering old stone walls and outcroppings and imagine the wee folk running about playing tricks at twilight.
This film is pretty slow going, mainly talky--which is a grand thing when you've got Lee and Cushing. There is minimal bloodshed, almost G rated, although there is a scene where Cushing examines the remains of some dead people, but it's obviously just some leftovers from the butcher shop and not even worth fussing over.
The plot involves a worn out old "hoor" trying to get her daughter back after the old mom was in the clink for a time on murder and prostitution charges. The daughter has been living in an orphanage run by some trustees to some dead lady's fortune on a small but enchanting isle. There are some G-rated murders, one huge red herring with red hair and a red coat, no less, and a long-limbed girl at the center of it who's all elbows and knees and is a damn pretty version of Anna Paquin. This movie seems to want to be a detective thriller until the last ten minutes when it switches gears unevenly into a strange amalgam of cultists/witchery/science gone wild. But don't let the poor ratings others have given this flick put you off. Even if you aren't huge fans of Cushing or Lee, you'll find some tastiness in this old, forgotten relic. I'm glad I unearthed it and blew the dust off after so many years. Now it sits firmly in my guilty pleasure stack.
In spite of having some exciting (and daring) sequences, NBTN just
never gets going. There are exploding boats, hat pin murders, mass
suicides, pathologists with body parts, and all sorts of classic
mystery/horror scenes, but they're interspersed with extended periods
of pure exposition. Everybody in the movie looks bored. This is a shame
because many of the sequences would be considered daring at the time
this was filmed.
Add to this the "too-proper" Brit characters and you feel like you've drifted into a Sherlock Holmes movie.
Finally, the cinematography is very ordinary. There are lots of opportunities for beautiful shots of of the countryside, or complex shots of someone being pulled into a huge bonfire, but the whole thing is unimaginative and dull.
Definitely only for Lee and Cushing fans.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I found this movie to very dry for the most part, with a few surprising shocks along the way. Most of the story is from the point of view the Lee and Cushing characters. Their conversations make up the majority of the exposition, so even though there isn't a lot of action, at least you're listening to two excellent speakers. The mystery is about the deaths of several trustees who are all connected to the same fortune. A young girl becomes an important character, as it is believed she holds the key to finding out who is behind the killings. Then we are lead to believe the girl's mother is behind it, and for a time, the movie seems to have one of the kookiest villains of any film. Watching this British housewife trying to rough it and survive off the land as she is being pursued through the wild by search parties is one of the best bits of unintentional comedy not to end up on MST3K. Finally, there is the ending. One of the most amazing climaxes of any horror movie, it delivers like few movies have. Some viewers were troubled by the plausibility of the group transferring their minds into the bodies of children to be able to extend their lives. I thought it was horrifying enough to make the slow parts worth sitting through. It was a bit over the top, but very memorable.
Three trustees of the Van Travlen have died within the last couple of
months, their deaths looking less than natural. When a bus accident
occurs involving the Van Traylen Trust, the only survivor is the young
girl Mary Valley. The behaviour of Mary has Dr Haynes worried, so he
tries his best to dig up information on her and this leads to her
original mother/convicted murderer. She wants Mary back, but the Trust
manages to bring her back to their orphanage on the Scottish isle of
Bala. Police Colonel Bingham believes there's more to these deaths, and
soon his trying to protect the Trust from Mary's mother who believes
that they turned her daughter against her. Also pathologist Sir Mark
Ashley and reporter Joan Foster start digging up some vital dirt, which
could answer many questions.
"Nothing But the Night" seems to fall more in the interesting bracket, than the successful one. Peter Sasdy's minor mystery chiller is a moderate attempt made more accessible due to the presence of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. It was actually produced under Lee's Charlemagne production company, and would be the last one too. These two icons of the genre can make anything watchable and even though they might not be as prominent here. They still have the ability to leave their mark when they aren't on screen. Brain Hayles' cryptic screenplay (taken off John Blackburn's novel) works up a smart, if overly padded script and captivating dying half, but the knotty plot doesn't seem to click, as it moves all over the place making it hard to get comfortable and come to terms with the haunting pay-off. You might find the twist kinda obvious, but the true revelation throws you off. It does take quite awhile to hit its straps. Which could turn people off from its talkative and slow progression. However the timidly restraint and uncertain nature only makes the final 10 minutes even more unnerving, as that's when the murder mystery makes way for some creepy horror strokes. Both Sasdy and Hayles do a good enough job in keeping the viewer interested. Sasdy uses the open locations to great effect, and ably stages the set pieces with efficient slickness and ominously dark shades. Malcolm Williamson's lightly smooth jazzy score stays on the back-burner and Ken Talbot's sturdy photography keeps it stark and upfront. The performances are considerably tailor-made. Lee (more uptight than usual) and Cushing are at their assured best, even if they only have lesser parts. The spruce Diana Dors makes for a good fiery, eccentric turn and Georgia Brown's is equally impressive as the down-to-earth reporter. Gwyneth Strong wonderfully draws up her part as Mary.
A middling hot (impeccably acted) and cold (unfocused story) mystery thriller.
Christopher Lee's own production company Charlemagne Productions survived
for just one film - this one - it is no wonder why.
Stifled by a convoluted plot and a haphazardly written script, the viewer is continually left confused by various events which are put together in an alarmingly thoughtless fashion.
Even Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing look unsettled by what is going on around them. It is far from easy viewing and the end doesn't come quick enough.
This could easily be voted as the worst of the horror duo's collaborations!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
"Nothing But the Night" of 1973 is a film with a bad reputation. The
films bad reputation (and a rating of only 3.2/10 on this site) is not
necessarily due to the films awfulness, however, but merely because it
disappoints for what it is. "Nothing But the Night" was directed by
Peter Sasdy, who had also directed three very good Horror films for the
Hammer Studios, "Taste The Blood of Dracula", "Countess Dracula" and
"Hands of The Ripper", and stars the great Horror icons Peter Cushing
and Christopher Lee. The film was produced by Christopher Lee's own
production company Charlemagne productions, and obviously picked up on
the recent Horror trend of supernatural/occult themes. This film is
considerably weaker compared to Sasdy's aforementioned films, and
especially considering the many brilliant other Cushing/Lee
collaborations. Yet the film is not as terrible as the rating might
After a mysterious bus accident, the investigating Scotland Yard Col. Charles Bingham (Lee), suspects a relation to previous murders. The mystery about the accident is how the bus-driver could have burned, when there was no fire in the accident... The film is way too slow, and the explanations are sometimes silly or illogical, but, as far as I am concerned, the storyline, which continues as a supernatural Horror mystery, is not all that bad. The film bears some similarities to several other British Horror productions. The idea of occultists using children for resurrection had been used on several occasions before, such as in the Hammer Studios' "The Witches" of 1966 (which is also only mediocre). The Scottish island setting reminds of an absolute masterpiece from the same year, Robin Hardy's "The Wicker Man", which is arguably the most brilliant film Christopher Lee was ever involved in. This resemblance can not be seen as a lack of originality, though, as this film was actually released earlier in 1973 than "The Wicker Man". Christopher Lee (as the police detective) and Peter Cushing (as the forensic doctor) are a great enrichment as always, and without their presence the low rating would probably be justified. Still, this brilliant twosome always make a film worth watching, in my opinion. Sadly, their screen time could be longer. The other two leading characters, a female journalist (Georgia Brown) and a doctor (Keith Barron), and especially the lady played by Diana Dors are quite annoying. Then 14-year-old Gwyneth Strong is OK in her role. Overall, "Nothing But The Night" has some creepy moments, and, as mentioned above, I do not find the storyline to be THAT bad. The film is also quite nicely shot, and Cushing/Lee are always great. It is certainly not a highly memorable example of British Horror cinema, however, and can easily be skipped.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Peter Cushing is pathologist, Mark Ashley. Christopher Lee an investigator, Colonel Bingham. Both are working to figure out the mystery behind the sudden deaths of trustees of an island castle orphanage. Diana Dors is a crazed mother, Anna Harb, just out of prison for three murders, trying to retrieve her daughter, Mary(Gwyneth Strong). The case intensifies when Keith Barron's Dr. Haynes, a physician at Cushing's hospital, interested in solving a puzzling recurring nightmare to a child in his care concerning a fire which caused harm to someone named Vincent and, it seems, herself, is murdered. It's conceived that Anna committed the crime. Anna flees in pursuit of her daughter, making her way to the island castle orphanage. Georgia Brown is a reporter, Joan Foster, for a dirt-mag who had fallen in love with Haynes, hoping to convince Ashley that this nightmare is of the utmost importance to the current situation. Begging to no avail by local police and the desperate urgings of Bingham for the remaining trustees to have guards inside the walls of their fortress, it seems Anna might just accomplish her goal as her daughter has returned to her orphanage home, supposedly safe and secure. But, something much more sinister and unbelievable lies ahead for Bingham, Ashley & company who have no idea what really has occurred to the little girl, and the other children for that matter, and it will all come to a head when a great birthday celebration for Mary, bonfire, fireworks and the like is prepared. Twist regarding transplanting knowledge into other brains resulting in possible immortality has drawn hostile criticisms, but you can't say it's not unoriginal. It didn't quite work for me, but Lee and Cushing make anything bearable. The twist, I must admit, was pretty wacky and hard to swallow. Sadsy's direction does ratchet up the suspense with the plot seemingly pointing a finger at Anna for a certain period of time but there are some very weird scenes containing Mary which throws the whole plot into question regarding who's really committing the murders and one does wonder why the remaining trustees would be so resistant towards police protection. Despite such a talented cast and an ideal overall setting, and solid pace, something just doesn't quite work, maybe it's the far-fetched discovery of the true answer to the mystery of the plot. It's a testament to Cushing and Lee to keep a straight face at such nonsense.

On screen cars- the car's the star in an exhibition of TV and film favourites.
Ford Anglia 105E 'Flying Car'
This is the actual Ford Anglia that was once owned by Arthur Weasley. It used to be a standard Ford Anglia until Mr Weasley enchanted it making it able to fly, become invisible to Muggles and to carry his entire family despite its modest size.
This Anglia was used during the filming of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was stolen in 2005 but was later recovered after being dumped by the thieves probably due to the media interest surrounding the car.
Mr Bean's Mini
This car once belonged to the hapless Mr Bean, played by Rowan Atkinson, and featured in the character's third series. It made its first television appearance on 1 January 1991. In this episode, Mr Bean discovers he does not have enough change for the multi-storey car park ticket machine and tries to outwit the exit barrier!
'Die Another Day' Jaguar XKR
Driven by the villain Zao in the Bond film Die Another Day, this Jaguar XKR is equipped with a rear-mounted Gatling gun, front and side missile launchers and a trunk full of mortar bombs.
One of eight Jaguars used to represent just one vehicle in the Ice Palace car chase scenes, keep an eye out for the dents made by the camera mountings during filming.
Del Boy's Reliant Regal
Possibly the nation's most famous three-wheel vehicle, this Regal van (mistakenly referred to as a Robin) featured in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses. It was the sole transport for the Trotter family of Del, Rodney, Grandad and Uncle Albert until Del Boy later went upmarket and purchased a Capri Ghia. What a plonker!
Wallace and Gromit's Anti-Pesto Van
A life-size version of the plasticine model created for Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, this Austin A35 van was used by Wallace and Gromit for their pest control business, Anti-Pesto.
Nick Park, who created the titular characters, used to drive an A35 and chose the model for its combination of speed and size – attributes that come in useful as Wallace and Gromit race after the giant Were-Rabbit to stop it ruining the local vegetable competition!
Heartbeat's BMW Isetta
This 1962 right-hand drive red BMW Isetta 300, commonly referred to as a bubble car because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, was the original car used in the Heartbeat series. Driven by barmaid Gina Ward this charmingly quirky car has only one rear wheel.

Two-barred cross
A two-barred cross is like a Latin cross with an extra bar added. The lengths and placement of the bars (or "arms") vary, and most of the variations are interchangeably called either of cross of Lorraine, the patriarchal cross or the archiepiscopal cross.[1]
The two bars[edit]
The two bars can be placed tight together (condensed) or far apart. They can be symmetrically spaced either around the middle, or above or below the middle. One asymmetrical variation has one bar near the top and the other just below the middle. Finally the bars can be of equal length, or with one shorter than the other.
The ends of the arms can be decorated according to different styles. A style with round or rounded ends is called treflée or botonée (from French bouton) in heraldic use. The same style is called budded, apostles' or cathedral cross in religious use.[2] A straight and pointy style called pattée also includes maltese cross variations,[3] and finally a pointed style called aiguisé.[4]
Heraldic use[edit]
The crosses appear in heraldic use in the second century A.D.[5] A balanced cross is used in the Coat of arms of Hungary as well as in several small shields within shields of Vytis. An outlined balanced cross (equal length outlined bars on equal distances) is used on coat of arms shields and order medals [6]
In Slovakia both the flag, their coat or arms and several municipal symbols include a double cross, where graded bars are more common than equally long bars, and balanced distances along the vertical line are more common.[7]
In print[edit]
In typography the double cross is called double dagger, double obelisk and diesis.[8]
In medicine and botany[edit]
The International Union Against TB and Lung Diseases is since 1902[9] using a red cross variation in its logotype. The two equally long bars are on the upper half of the cross and all six ends are aiguisé.[10]
In botany a balanced cross (equal length bars on equal distances) is used to mark very poisonous plants [11]
In chess[edit]
Used to symbolize checkmate [12]

That's what she said.
So, I guess the whole bar scene didn't so much work out. I'm tired of the awful pickup lines, but if you really want to you can try your best one on me. I'm just looking for someone that's down to earth, easy-going, and someone I can feel comfortable with in any situation. Also, someone who has a sense of humor, and understands what sarcasm is and how to use it properly. Sure you can dish it out, but can you take it? If you haven't figured out already, sarcasm is a big part of my personality; I believe it is a quality only certain special people in this world possess. I am that disturbed person who laughs when people fall down (as long as they are okay) and just love to laugh in general. It is one of the best feelings in the world. I am not too serious about myself and don't like people who are. Life happens, get over it. I just started in a new position as an Early Head Start Home Visitor, this came after I worked in a preschool classroom that was closed due to the sequestration funding issues. I like this job much more than the last, and see some very interesting people to say the least. Sporting events are probably my favorite events to attend. Football, baseball, basketball and tennis are my absolute favorites to watch in person, as well as on TV. I love to go to concerts too...I did see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in concert a few years ago and it was pretty much the most amazing moment of my life thus far. Classic rock has been and always will be my favorite..Tom Petty, Journey, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Jimi Hendrix, etc, are all my first choice in music. Anything but country. I am a huge language/grammar freak and can't stand it when people don't spell words or use grammar correctly. I think it shows a sign of intelligence. We all learned it throughout life, there is no excuse. Guess it's just part of the nerdy teacher in me. I love to read and spend all the time I can outside, especially when I am not responsible for small children running into parking lots, traffic, or inducing harm on one another. Reading is a great way to get lost in another world and forget about the problems of your own life. Also, I am a huge history nerd and love to read about it or watch the History channel! (insert laugh here) I have 2 old man cats, Harry and Clyde. They're basically small dogs, but scientifically they are cats. They may be small, but they're awesome in action. Overall, I am just a simple, down-to-earth girl who loves to laugh (sometimes at people) and wants someone who can appreciate that fact and enjoy it along side me.

I have two cats, Harry, a tuxedo, and Clyde, a buff tabby. I consider them to pretty much be small dogs, but anatomically they are felines. I would love to have a dog, probably a labrador or other large breed someday.
Basically anywhere with a beach and a bar. Favorite spots include Ocean Isle, NC, Charleston, SC, Boston, Chicago, and anywhere in Colorado.
Ohio Northern University, Ada, OH
The Office, Parks & Rec, It's Always Sunny, The League, and True Blood top the list. Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, pretty much any classic rock is good with me. I love to try new beers and wines, also like to try new recipes.
I love to watch the Indians, Browns, and men's tennis (anyone but Roger Federer.) I love to play tennis, read, knit, and do pretty much anything I can outside.

Painting - 'Black Saturday 2009' by Glenn Morgan Reg. No: HT 23801
- Summary:
- The 'Black Saturday' painting by Glenn Morgan was created after the devastation of Marysville on Black Saturday, 7 February 2009. He had visited Marysville just three weeks prior to 7 February 2009, and had remarked "Jeez, I'd hate to be here if a fire came through".
This is a powerful response to the Black Saturday bushfires. It is a strong and dynamic document of the immediate aftermath of the bushfires. The artwork also draws on his own experience of loss from the Ash Wednesday fires, and the memory of his feelings of 'survival, guilt and why was it us'.
While the work is based on Marysville, Morgan's portrayal of Black Saturday stretches across place and time, and presents the realities of bushfire that have and will continue to shape Victoria's collective memory. This narrative documents a slice of time; it actively depicts the intensity of emotions and the chaos and tragedy of the immediate aftermath of the Black Saturday fires. The artwork is overflowing with stories and the torn fragments of people's lives. It is also a graphic map of the landscape that became the crucible for these catastrophic fires.
The artwork is immensely personal, not just because of its links to Morgan's own experience of trauma and loss, but because each person represented in the work is offering a story of their own lives and trauma. Some of the dialogue depicted includes: "They're all gone", "At least I've got you", "Where's mum?!"
Glenn Morgan wanted the work to 'just tell the story of that time'. Glenn Morgan is a Victorian artist, based in Warrnambool. He has been practicing since 1975 and has been represented in many solo and group exhibitions; his work is represented in regional and national collections. Morgan works with issues and subjects that touch the everyday life of Australians. He uses humour and miniature personal vignettes to 'weave a patchwork of stories'. He is well known for his sculptural installations and models, and also works in oils, acrylic and prints.

I have a lot of good things going on in my life, I'm just hoping to find someone to share it all with.
World's greatest kindergarten teacher. World's most average surfer. Not good at origami (probably). I get freckly in the sun and I think salt makes everything taste better. Simple things really make my day, like when you open a bag of chips and find they're all the kind that are folded over and have a good crunch. I've been a kindergarten teacher for 8 years now and I totally love it. I used to work with teenagers, but they're crazy. I prefer to teach kids who still think nothing could be more entertaining than playing tag. Predicting what's gonna happen in movies. I would describe myself as a movie-clairvoyant. Luke's father. Keyser Söze. Pieces of cake, all of them. And btw, Stella gets her groove back. It's a gift...and a curse.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Cycling, Football, Other types of exercise, Soccer, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Fish, Horses
I love trying new places and bars enjoy a pub over a loud crazy bar with a dance floor. Wine bars are always a hit with me. I love traveling and exploring new places, Scandinavia is among my favorites. I am happiest on a beach.
So many things, but mainly I always want to stay active. I love to surf, I play Zog football, I even still do gymnastics (waiting for Olympics Team USA to call. Should be any day now)
I'm a big people watcher. I'll totally pause a conversation whenever any sort of semi-odd or interesting person is in the vicinity. I love social psychology and watching how differently people do things.
My two big book obsessions are Malcolm Gladwell and trashy chic lit. So weird that they're not next to each other in the book store.

Noir is a "challenge to dominant values," according to critic Peter Labuza in this concise visual essay on one of cinephiles' favorite "modes." Bridging The Classical Hollywood Cinema with the writings of Linda Williams, Labuza considers film noir as a method of subverting the building blocks of melodrama, thus imbuing its viewers with a "feeling of displacement." Perhaps most disorienting is that in everything from Mildred Pierce to My Name is Julia Ross, there is no weepy sense of satisfaction for the taking. »

Looking back over the year at what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2013—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2013 to create a unique double feature.
All the contributors were given the option to write some text explaining their 2013 fantasy double feature. What's more, each writer was given the option to list more pairings, with or without explanation, as further imaginative film programming we'd be lucky to catch in that perfect world we know doesn't exist but can keep dreaming of every time we go to the movies.

I am originally from the Philadelphia area. I lived in Colorado for a while, but moved back to the area a few years ago. Colorado was amazing, but Philly will always be home to me. I am very close with my family. I have two sisters, who are married with children, and a large extended family. When I'm not with my family, I spend most of my free time hanging out with friends. I enjoy going out to dinner. Philly has some really amazing restaurants and I love trying new places. I also really like live music. I'm generally a very happy, laid back person. I like to stay active. I love to ski and run. I ran my first marathon two years ago. It was tough, but I would definitely like to do another one. I am an ICU nurse at a hospital in Philly. My job is very challenging at times but also very rewarding. I am currently in graduate school to become a nurse practitioner. I am at a point in my life where I know who I am and what I want.
