XLrator Media Acquires U.S. Rights to Supernatural Thriller THALE
XLrator Media has acquired all U.S. rights to the Norwegian supernatural thriller THALE which screens tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival's Vanguard section. The deal was announced today by the filmmakers and Barry Gordon, CEO of XLrator Media, which will release the film in early 2013.
Written and directed by Aleksander L. Nordaas, THALE is produced by Bendik Heggen Strønstad under his Yesbox Productions banner, co-produced by Lars L. Marøy at Film Found FUZZ and executive produced by Gudrun Giddings, Tore Fredrik Dreyer and Lars Andreas Hellebust. XYZ Films is representing the U.S. rights while Epic Pictures is handling international sales.
"THALE is a haunting and atmospheric thriller that grips you from the opening scene to the chilling finale," said Gordon. "It once again shows Scandinavia to be a rich wellspring for today's most compelling and stylish thrillers, from Let the Right One In to Troll Hunter to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels."
Producer Bendik Heggen Strønstad said: "We are looking forward to working with XLrator on the US distribution as we have the same understanding of the film and how it should be presented. We anticipate unveiling THALE to audiences this evening in Toronto and around the world next year."
THALE is the story of a mythical "huldra," a beautiful, tailed female forest creature, who is discovered in a concealed cellar by two crime scene cleaners. The creature is unable to speak so she can't explain how she came to be there, but the pieces of the puzzle soon come together. She has been kept down there for decades, for reasons which will soon emerge. Someone is approaching from the outside. They want her back. The film stars Silje Reinåmo, Jon Sigve Skard, Erlend Nervold, Morten Andresen, Sunniva Lien, Roland Åstrand.
The deal was negotiated by Gordon, Nate Bolotin of XYZ Films, and Gudrun Giddings and Kim H. Swartz at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP.

I don't.
I like that we have a tag for "polyamorous wood."6. boteman asks Where's My Ring? Posted: August 26, 2014 at 11:12 AM (#4779248)
Apparently Harper hit very well with Puig's bat the other day in that 14 run rout of the Giants, so he should stock up on those.
Or it could have been some reason other than the bat.

Wellington NBA prospect Steve Adams has settled into life at the University of Pittsburgh, who are 19-5 in America's college competition. Sam Worthington checks on Adams' progress with his mentor, Kenny McFadden.
Looking at stats, Steve seems to be steadily improving? (averaging 6.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2 blocks)
He's getting more comfortable in the system. Against Seton Hall on Tuesday he had 15 rebounds which is a career high. The best thing is he was four from five from the free throw line.
That is one area letting him down (averaging 37.5 per cent). Is that a confidence or technique issue?
Neither. He damaged his thumb five weeks ago. It's heavily strapped and giving him restriction. He has to make some adjustments because he's been shooting them pretty poor.
What about his development in other areas?
Overall, he's making tremendous progress. As a freshman you can feel like you're doing nothing right because the coach tries to tear you down and build you back up.
But he's third in the Big East in field goal percentage (58.3 per cent) and fourth in blocks. And he's getting better each game.
How is he enjoying life in general?
He's loving it and he got a 3.8 grade point average in the first semester which was extremely surprising. He's finding college life, team-mates and the environment good but at the same time challenging.
He said he doesn't "give a crap" about the NBA at this point?
That's right and I think that question started getting to him earlier in the season because everybody continued to ask.
But the last thing you want to do is talk about what's happening next season when he's only just learning the NCAA system. That's challenging enough, let alone what's going on in the NBA.
Will he stay another season before declaring for the draft?
It's hard to tell. What happens in the NCAA tournament next month can make or break a player and will probably dictate his future. Even Michael Jordan, he didn't really come on until that NCAA game when he hit the last shot, as a freshman.
Does he not quite realise how good he can be?
No. They want him to be more of a leader and more aggressive. But he's still playing good basketball. The door is open for him to move to the NBA. I'm quite sure he'll take advantage of that but it's a decision he's got to make when the season ends.

On Capitol Hill, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence met in secret Tuesday and approved expanding the Patriot Act to make it easier for the government to secretly gather records on individuals without a court order or grand jury subpoena.

William Corr, director of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. said "It feels like a political decision to take into consideration the tobacco companies' financial interest rather than health interests of forty-five million addicted smokers."

It's a cultural practice to shun anyone who decides to walk away from the church and the Amish community. You have to say good bye to your existing personal relationships with family & friends. It's pretty fucked up when you consider the enormous pressure of conformity within those communities and what young adults have to endure if they desire to explore life outside of their community.

Original Message
I recently have gone through a break up. I have been so focused on doom that it made me make irrational choices. I few nights ago I was drinking heavily and my girlfriend called me and I said evil things that I never knew my soul could spit out. She broke up with me and I know that we are destined to be in my heart and I know she her heart feels that way too. She wanted time alone and I understand completely from how the way I've been treating her. There are many other details that I am beginning to understand what I came here to learn from but I'll spare you guys the vent and get to my point.
I was depressed and started doing what I had to do to become the person I used to be. I started thinking more and God and how I feel that he is helping me throughout all this. I will be watching a video and think of God and think of a few words in my head and they would say h exact same 3 words Max. That I was thinking of. I would sit and stare outside thinking and a few times when I thought of God a rabbit would appear. Another example is that I would think of him and then the heater would turn on, this happened multiple times.
What do you guys think? Is my mind just trying to comfort me and making up these coincidences or.. is God trying to guide me towards something, an understanding perhaps.
Really sorry for the vent but I am distant from friends since its hard to find things to relate with them and I know there are GPLers who have compassion. I do believe that we are in strange times and anything happening to an individual, they should really try and understand a deeper meaning of why something is happening.
Thank you very much.
love to all.

October 22, 2014 - I love, love, love my new shirt! Two things you should note when ordering this product: you may need to wear an undershirt with it and order it in a larger size than you are normally used to. I normally wear a XL, but had someone measure me and matched the measurements up to the sizing chart listed, and it turns out that I needed to order an 3XL. It fits perfectly! The arrival time was fast and perfect!
August 1, 2014 - I bought this for my Autistic grown daughter. She struggles with her disorder daily and I thought this was a nice and unique way to help her see that she is not alone. I can not wait to give it to her on her birthday in a month or two I just know she will love it as much as I do.
June 17, 2014 - This shirt fits very well and has soft material that feels good. I love the bright colors and unique design on this shirt. I highly recommend buying this.
November 4, 2013 - I like this Rhinestone tee. I'm glad that I ordered one size up from the size that I normally am. I usually wear a size large. But, for this shirt I ordered an extra large and it fits well. I don't think these shirts are very true to size. But they do stretch. If you are ordering this shirt I would suggest one size up.
July 13, 2013 - LOVE my shirt! Great brand name and detailing on shirt. Long and fitted!

Time is passing by so quickly, it's already half way through my internship. These past two weeks have been filled with various activities and work. My favorite part was visiting two of the social ventures that are in IVN's investment portfolio.
On last Tuesday I went to Jisr az-Zarqa, the poorest Arab village in Israel. A Jewish woman by the name of Neta Hanien visited the village a few years ago when her mother was shooting a documentary about the village. Neta was inspired by the hidden gem and decided to do something to change the economic situation of this beautiful village by the beach. She found herself a local partner, a man named Ahmad Juha, and co-created the Juha's Guesthouse. Juha's Guesthouse is built on the idea of bring tourists into the once-abandoned village. Indeed, Juha's Guesthouse has been very successful in attracting backpackers who wish to have an authentic Arabic experience. The biggest perks that came out of this Jewish-Arab partnership is that as more people are visiting the village, they are also spending money at local businesses. Furthermore Neta and Ahmad are creating a new business plan that will employ the youths-at-risk in the village. Youths-at-risk are being trained to give tours in English and to up-cycle old materials into furniture and jewelry. All this is not possible without the help of Genevieve, a graduate student. I was fortunate enough to have had the chance to meet everyone at Juha's Guesthouse including a former youth-at-risk. It was eye opening to see all the positive changes they are making in the village.
On last Thursday, my supervisor at IVN invited to me a meeting with a professor from Brown University who is very passionate about social businesses. During the meeting, they talked a lot about the different social businesses in Israel and the U.S. I learned a lot just from listening to them. After the meeting, the professor and I visited the Susan's House, a community center where at-risk teens are employed to make glass and ceramic art. We also had a short meeting with the director of Susan's House and learned that the purpose of Susan's house is to integrate at-risk teens into society though art and work. The jewelry pieces and ceramic arts were all very beautiful, I couldn't help but buy something for myself to take back home.
During the weekend, Madhyama and I went to the Old Jaffa and experienced a different side of Tel Aviv. Old Jaffa is the oldest part of Tel Aviv, hence the name. Unlike the modern and westernized part of Tel Aviv where we live in, Old Jaffa is a nice little area by the port filled with rich history, with an almost European vibe. Plus, great food and shopping is all over as you walk through the Old Jaffa Flea Market.
On Wednesday, Professor Ayelet Gneezy, who also teaches at Rady, gave the Milken fellows (global and Israeli) a talk on overhead aversion. A study on nonprofit overhead spending was conducted between her, her husband Uri Gneezy, and her fomer student. We learned that donor behavior is largely affected by overhead. That is, the higher the overhead, the less likely people will donate to the organization. Professor Ayelet was also kind enough to give all the interns tips on our individual projects. After the discussion, all the fellows mingled and enjoyed a reception put together by Orly, our lovely Fellowship Programs Manager.

The Garden Route gets its name from the area of South Africa in and along this exquisite region of the south coast of South Africa that spans the section between Mossel Bay in the Western Cape and the Storms River in the Eastern Cape. The Garden Route encompasses the towns of Mossel Bay, George, Oudshoorn and Plettenberg Bay among many other smaller towns and interesting locations in between. This picturesque drive through the rich and varied countryside is the ideal setting for a slow and leisurely road trip, during which one can stop and see all the curiosities the coastline, the towns and the other places of interest have to offer. For those with an adventurous spirit a trip through the Garden Route shouldnt exclude a bungee jump off either the Gourits River bridge or the Bloukrans River Bridge the Bloukrans River jump being the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Oudshoorn hosts the Cango Caves which is a vast underground network of Caverns through which tourists can take guided tours; Oudshoorn also offers a crocodile farm an ostrich farm and a snake farm where visitors can experience and learn about these animals up close.
George is the largest town in the area and plays an administrative role in the surrounding towns and is also the main commercial centre. The small coastal village of Knysna is surrounded by dense forests, a vast lagoon and the Knysna Heads looking over the ocean. The town and surrounding areas of Wilderness and Sedgefield offer an excellent place to enjoy the outdoors whether one enjoys sports and hiking or just relaxing and indulging in the ambiances. The entire Garden Route is steeped in history and culture, and almost every place one can stop has a story to go with it.
The many small towns along the Garden Route all have unique and interesting histories and features worth looking into. Many festivals and sporting events occur along this stretch throughout the year such as the Klein Karoo Arts Festival in Oudshoorn or Knysnas annual Oyster Festival which is always a well-attended attraction which brings in large amounts of local and foreign visitors.
The Garden Route is well worth taking a slow and studied tour through. One is advised to allow of plenty of time to take advantage of all that the area and its communities has to offer.

Stephen Harper's war on transparency: Editorial
The Conservative government seems to think that stonewalling, foot-dragging and contempt of Parliament pay.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Stonewalling, foot-dragging and contempt for Parliament pay. At least that's what the federal government appears to have concluded in the wake of the 2011 election. Toppled two years ago after being found in contempt of Parliament for failing to disclose fiscal information, the Conservatives were nonetheless rewarded in the polls with a majority government — a victory that has served as positive reinforcement for their modus operandi of obfuscation.
Things have only gotten worse. As Kevin Page, Canada's first parliamentary budget officer, prepares to leave his post later this month, he remains locked in a legal battle with the government — the culmination of a year-long struggle to access details on the specific nature of the deep cuts contained in the last federal budget.
Evidently, the Conservatives are tired of fighting with the PBO. The job description for Page's replacement, released last Thursday, seems to be a direct rebuke to the outgoing watchdog. The suitable candidate will be "tactful and discreet," it says, and capable of "achieving consensus." (Though why an economic analyst whose job is to crunch numbers would ever need to "achieve consensus" is a mystery to us.)
While the government may very well be able to defang the PBO, doing the same to Parliament is a taller task. Not that it's not trying.
The Canadian Press revealed last week that 11 federal departments are refusing to provide Parliament with plans to address concerns raised by the auditor general, despite being mandated to do so. Departments are required to submit these action plans to the public accounts committee within six months of the release of any auditor general's report in which they are inspected. Some are now more than a year late.
Why so tardy? According to spokespeople from several departments, the plans need only be submitted if the department is called to testify before Parliament. But that's simply not the case. And the notion that multiple departments would independently misread a short, clearly worded motion in the exact same way stretches credulity.
"This demonstrates that the public accounts committee, a once-respected, even feared body of Parliament, is now fluffed off by our government as irrelevant," said Liberal MP Gerry Byrne, the committee's vice-chair.
The same could be said for scrutiny more generally. Until the government starts to show some respect for Parliament and the transparency necessary for good government, we can only wonder what it has to hide.

2008 Acura RL AWD w/ Tech Pkg Review
|by mrjmc72
"Smooth ride with nice power!"
Love the SH-AWD, car is fun to drive and very reliable - it's time for a newer model RL! The new RLX only offers 4 wheel steering, but I understand they will be making the AWD version. So maybe stay with a newer 09 or 10 model.

Product description
The sequel to Hilary Mantel's 2009 Man Booker Prize winner and `New York Times` bestseller, `Wolf Hall` delves into the heart of Tudor history with the downfall of Anne Boleyn Though he battled for seven years to marry her, Henry is disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed to give him a son and her sharp intelligence and audacious will alienate his old friends and the noble families of England. When the discarded Katherine dies in exile from the court, Anne stands starkly exposed, the focus of gossip and malice. At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over three terrifying weeks, Anne is ensnared in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour stands waiting her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle. Hilary Mantel's `Bring Up the Bodies` follows the dramatic trial of the queen and her suitors for adultery and treason. To defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must ally with his natural enemies, the papist aristocracy. What price will he pay for Anne's head?

Review quote
`Mantel knows what to select, how to make her scenes vivid, how to kindle her characters. She seems almost incapable of abstraction or fraudulence; she instinctively grabs for the reachably real...In short, this novelist has the maddeningly unteachable gift of being interesting.`--`The New Yorker``[`Bring Up the Bodies`] is astringent and purifying, stripping away the cobwebs and varnish of history, the antique formulations and brocaded sentimentality of costume drama novels, so that the English past comes to seem like something vivid, strange and brand new.`--`The New York Times Book Review``Two years ago something astonishingly fair happened in the world of prestigious prizes: the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction for 2009 both went to the right winner. The book was Hilary Mantel's `Wolf Hall,` and it would have dwarfed the competition any year...It was a hard act to follow. But the follow-up is equally sublime...That ironic ending will be no cliffhanger for anyone even remotely familiar with Henry VIII's trail of carnage. But in `Bring Up the Bodies `it works as one. The wonder of Ms. Mantel's retelling is that she makes these events fresh and terrifying all over again.`--`The New York Times```Bring Up the Bodies` isn't just her boldest book; it's also her best -- and it reaffirms Mantel's reputation as one of England's greatest living novelists.`--`NPR ``Hilary Mantel made waves in 2009 with her Man Booker Prize-winning page-turner, `Wolf Hall.`..The second in her planned trilogy, `Bring Up the Bodies` stalks Anne Boleyn and the soap-opera worthy machinations of Cromwell and his evil allies to bring down the powerful wife of the king. Who knew history could be so sexy?`--`Vanity Fair``What's being called the Wolf Hall Trilogy is a remarkable work in progress, a series that makes the past feel immediate and--this is the best part--unpredictable. Even if you know the history, you'll find yourself racing throu

The second annual Reality Check for Foster Children will take place on Saturday, April 5, at 9 a.m. at Chambliss Center for Children Gymnasium.
The Reality Check exposes teens in foster care to what options will be available to them when they live independently. During the exercise, each student is assigned a family, a job and an income. Then they must make purchases – food, clothing, housing and so on, based on their family demands and wages.
"Asked to make life like decisions concerning the allocation of financial resources between housing, transportation, education and childcare, the students come face to face with the relationship between level of education and income," Jack Parks, Partnership's director of Youth Services said. "Many of the kids think they'll have plenty of money to have it all - rent an apartment, drive a nice car, have designer clothes and have spending money - until they experience the Reality Check. Then they find out that it's tough out there to pay all your bills on a low income."
Lunch and Door Prizes will be provided. This event is sponsored by Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce, Citizen's Review Panel, Community Advisory Board, Tennessee Alliance for Children and Families – Southeast Region, and Tennessee Department of Children's Services.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the Reality Check will start at 10 a.m. One may also register by calling 423 697-6300, Ext. 136 or 129. The Chambliss Center is at 315 Gillespie Rd, Chattanooga, Tn. 37411.

Counterpoint for Genius - The Digital Bach Series
Created by Stephen Gislason
My Counterpoint for Genius series is a collection of four albums that has evolved over several years though experimentation with a number of transcriptions of Bach pieces, many from the religious Cantatas, mixed with different voicing and, different tempos and transpositions. Mozart has received the most attention as the composer of smart music. Bach excels. I realized that many of the Bach pieces I recorded were among the best examples of contrapuntal composition and that counterpoint was the perfect brain exercise
Bach, Baroque and Counterpoint
The great composers of Europe were full time professionals, employed by wealthy aristocrats or church leaders who tended to be wealthy aristocrats. They were often immersed in music from their early childhood. They followed forms that were fashionable and influenced each other. JS Bach, the great master, was influenced by Handel and Vivaldi. Mozart expressed musical ideas from Bach, Handel, Haydn and many other composers at work in Europe. Beethoven studied with Haydn and was inspired by Mozart. Händel was born in 1685, the same year as JS Bach and Domenico Scarlatti. Bach eventually complimented Handel and his music saying that Handel was "the only person I would wish to be, were I not Bach." Mozart admired Bach's genius. Beethoven said that JS Bach was "the master of us all".
Instruments evolved during the Baroque. Equal tempered tuning solved the problem of intervals and chords in different keys sounding wrong. The violin family emerged from older string instruments. Three keyboard instruments, the clavichord, organ, and harpsichord were popular. The violin sound became the dominant timbre in late Baroque ensemble music. The wind instruments were the bassoon, flute, and oboe. Brass instruments such as horns, trumpets, and trombones were used in large ensembles. The timpani was the only drum used sparingly.
Counterpoint was the skilled composer's main strategy. Fugues were the show pieces of counterpoint. A fugue opens with a theme which usually moves through four voices. The interaction of the voices is developed through episodes and variations with key changes. An obvious movement is from a subject stated in the tonic key to a response in another voice stated in the dominant key (V).
A well constructed fugue can be approached as a puzzle that may be easily resolved into obvious parts or one that becomes too complex, even confusing, so that detailed study maybe required before the composer's strategy becomes clear. Ratz suggested a "fugal technique significantly burdens the shaping of musical ideas, and it was given only to the greatest geniuses, such as Bach and Beethoven, to breathe life into such an unwieldy form and make it the bearer of the highest thoughts."
Intelligent Music = Delightful Brain Exercise
My Bach project shifted toward brain exercises for Geniuses (Counterpoint for Genius). I now believe that the textured complexity of counterpoint can be a delight for a receptive listener and also a useful way to exercise some of the more complex computational centers in the brain. My strategy is to keep the individual voices clear so the layered, interwoven texture of the music is as distinct as possible. I also pay much attention to leaving silent spaces in the interstices since I discovered many years ago that increased sound density was harmful rather than helpful.
I am often amazed by how many notes in interweaving layers my brain is willing to decipher. If the notes form interesting patterns and move in space, then they remain fresh and invigorating. I the early days of my experimentation with synthesizers, I encountered patterns of sound that produce meditative experiences, acoustic illusions, mind clearing, and some very annoying experiences. At the same time I was experimenting with brain biofeedback using sound to reveal brain waves. The basic idea was that amplified brain waves could be evaluated by frequency and amplitude, desirable goals established and a sound signal would inform the subject when his or her brain waves were in the desired range. The most common goal was to achieve slow, symmetrical sine waves from each cerebral hemisphere; the frequency range of about 8 to 12 hertz was called alpha.
While repetition is good, too much can become annoying. Small variations in a repeating pattern will avoid habituation and annoyance. The occasional, surprising sound will awaken new interest. Complex staccato passages with precise but low amplitude sounds are followed closely by the temporal cortex.

Traditionally in this area when Halloween falls on a Sunday, it is celebrated on the Saturday preceding.
I never really know though for sure if it will work this way.
Does anyone know who makes this decision? Joyce Hague
* * *
When Halloween falls on a Wednesday do we celebrate it on Saturday? No. Just because something falls on a Sunday doesn't mean we should go messing around with when a holiday is set. These things are given dates for a reason, and that reason is when they are to be celebrated.
Are we going to celebrate Christmas on a different day if it falls on Sunday? I highly doubt it. Celebrate Halloween when we are supposed to - the 31st.
Paul SmithChattanooga
In the true spirit of Halloween, let's not bicker over when to celebrate the hallowed holiday. Doesn't the spirit of Halloween live within us year 'round? I asked my children, and they decisively resounded that they will fetch candy both nights. Taking advantage of the community's confusion, my children will double up on their candy haul. This is probably something our local commissioners and council people should weign in on. I mean, what if children come to my door both nights? In this time of recession, how can I afford to buy twice the candy? Or maybe if the children split up fairly evenly, it won't actually cost me any more. If there's an actuary out there who can help me know how to prepare my candy distribution, I would appreciate it. Rob email@example.com
n response to Mr. Smith's statement that we do not change Christmas when it falls on a Sunday, may I point out that they change Columbus Day to a Monday, Memorial Day is changed to a Monday, Washington and Lincoln's birthdays were actually combined and changed to a Monday, so the argument that we shouldn't change a holiday is not really valid.
I think what irritates me is that the city council wouldn't make a decision one way or the other. In the past, a Sunday Halloween was celebrated on Saturday by recommendation of the council. That helps people to plan which night to expect trick-or-treaters instead of leaving it up to everyone to choose, which causes confusion for everyone.
Most people can't afford to give out candy two nights, but they don't want to appear stingy by only giving candy on one night. I really wouldn't care which night was designated as trick-or-treat night, but I think the city council should have made a decision, as many of our nearby cities did. Just to make things a little more organized.
