Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Critic Consensus: Snakes on a Plane lives up to its title, featuring snakes on a plane. It isn't perfect, but then again, it doesn't need to be.

Critic Reviews for Snakes on a Plane
All Critics (180) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (117) | Rotten (54) | DVD (25)
Intentional low camp always seems wrong unless it's very funny; in trash, one wants clumsiness, even a certain tackiness, and this movie has the production values and the high-tech fluency of a much bigger movie.
A movie about snakes on a plane does not need to be straightforward; it only has a shot if it is either genuinely scary or so incredibly over the top it's funny. Snakes on a Plane is neither, but maybe Snakes on a Boat will be better.
Few studio-supported films match its B-movie nirvana of stupid-goodness. It's exactly what its title suggests and more ? the proof in the primal levels ranging from basic exploited fears to the crowd?s roaring reactions and howls of humor or horror.
A snarky genre exercise and its own late-night sketch parody, it parades nothing so much as the force of the public's lowered expectations
Although the film's production company New Line retooled the movie from a PG-13 to an R rating with ideas and dialogue from web fans, "Snakes On A Plane" is a boring ride.
Audience Reviews for Snakes on a Plane
Sure, hate me for saying this, but "Snakes on a Plane" is a good film in my opinion. No, not great, but there is this certain dumb charm the film has down to it's core that really made me enjoy watching it. Samuel L. Jackson is awesome in his role and the supporting cast could have been so much worse. You go in expecting snakes on a plane, and that is literally what you get, with a few human elements thrown in before and after which helped the films backbone a bit. It will never stand the test of time, and I will eventually grow out of enjoying it most likely, but it is a fun movie that I can watch over and over again. But yes, if you do not know what you are in for, just know, it is very very dumb and the effects are barely acceptable by 90's Hollywood standards. Overall, it's an enjoyably dumb movie.
Super Reviewer
I love this film. It's a modern 'B-Film'. if films were still presented in double features this would be lower film but I have a strong belief that most B-Movies are way better than their feature. This film came in at the right time, it helped to bring Samuel L. Jackson back into the fame he diserved by giving an amazing performance and another actor who really shined was Kenan Thompson. Before this film, to me, he was just the Good Burger employee in Kenan & Kel and a minor player in SNL. This film really put him on the map. There are other really good performances but let me just say, 'dont take this film too seriously'. This film, or at lease I feel, gives a sence of owning to it's cheesy title but not too cheesy to be a parody film. Far from a perfect film, but a pretty fun way to spend 106 minutes.
Super Reviewer
I cannot stress to anyone reading this review how hard it is for me to see why people didn't like this movie. Everyone I know loathes it! It's good ok. Simply because you get what you went to the cinema or popped the disc into your dvd player for. Snakes on a Plane. It makes good use of its budget and large cast of characters. My ONLY! criticism is that there isn't much development for the characters and that might have made this film a critically acclaimed success rather than a (less than deserved!) mixed to favourable review. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that would have ever happened. Because the show would always be taken by the snakes. The reason watch the film in the first place.

Harris may be released from prison before he dies, but I would suggest his rehabilitation has much further to go if he doesn't recognise that the public sees him as a child abuser first and foremost. He was never much of an artist anyway and nobody wants to listen to a sex attacker smearing his victims.
David Cameron yesterday had the enviable task of culling ministers, apparently to make way for fresh faces. Right-wing media predictably concentrated on the outrage of loyal long-standing Tories being driven out, rather than examining the toxicity that drove Cameron to take dramatic action at this stage of a parliament.

Research Topics
When you are starting your research with a broad topic (for example, diabetes) it is important to
focus your research in some way. Here are several ideas:
- Focus on a particular aspect of a condition/disease (Drug therapies for diabetes)
- Focus on a particular population (Diabetes in African-American males)
- Focus on a particular location (Prevalence and treatment of diabetes in Asia)
- Focus on a particular time period (Treatment of diabetes during the 19th century)
If you don't narrow down your search in some way, you will retrieve way too many results.

Oxford College, in conjunction with Emory University's WorkLife Resource Center, has established a new support group for those who care for aging or sick family members.

The Newton County School System faced a tough year in 2009. From issues with transportation to teacher furloughs and budget cuts, the NCSS had to tighten their purse strings and may very well have to continue to do so into the New Year. One bright spot was the recent notification that the system had received grant money for the career academy which should get under way in 2010.
The cost of college is formidable, preventing many deserving students from attending at all and leaving many others to graduate with an overwhelming amount of debt. Last year, the average tuition at a private four-year institution rose 5.9 percent, reaching $25,143, and the average cost of attending a public four-year university increased 6.4 percent. The Elks National Foundation's Most Valuable Student Scholarship contest, which launched on Sept. 1, aims to alleviate this financial burden for 500 ambitious students.

A Midwest chemical company was making significant changes to their retirement program for financial and industry reasons. The changes included:
Employees were going to have to make a one-time choice whether to: 1) continue participating in the pension plan, or 2) freeze their existing pension plan benefit and begin receiving enhanced retirement contributions in the 401(k) plan.
The company recognized the sensitivity of the issue and knew that employee communications were crucial to the process. It was important that the communications:

It's kind of sticky. The essence is more of a gel than a liquid. There isn't a noticeable scent to it, but it did make my face tingle. I have sensitive skin, but I didn't break out in a rash or anything. I only gave it a three star, because of the ingredients. First off, the list above is not the full of ingredients. Second, this contains paraben, something I try to stay away from, so I will not be purchasing again.

Springfield treasurer Jim Langfelder says there's been some misinformation about what's going on with the city's police and fire pension funds. He says there are ways to fix that. For starters, why not keep aldermen apprised of pension fund activities more regularly?
"Reporting protocol regarding boards and commissions could be created so actions could be established so aldermen are informed on a quarterly basis," said Langfelder.
He also suggests having police and fire pension board meetings in well publicized open sessions in city council chambers.
Mayor Mike Houston largely dismissed the ideas, reminding reporters that police and fire pension boards operate independently of the city.
"They are set up to operate independently," said Houston. "The only function of city government dealing with either the fire or police pension fund is to make the contribution. State statutes are very clear in terms of the management of the fund, [it's] entrusted to the trustees."
At issue is whether the city council should have been notified about Department of Insurance findings that both pension boards were using improper methodology to award benefits.

National Survey Finds 10.6 Million People Helped By Navigators and Assisters During the Affordable Care Act's First Open Enrollment Period
An estimated 10.6 million people nationally received personal help from navigators and assisters during the Affordable Care Act's first open enrollment period, finds a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey of navigators and assister programs nationally. The survey estimates that the 4,400 assister programs operating nationally had an estimated 28,000 full-time staff and volunteers, suggesting each assister would have helped more than 370 people on average during the six-month open enrollment period that ran from October 1 through March 31.News Release Read More

"Five stars!"
Very happy to have stayed here!
Mainly because of:
*The apartment itself is modern, clean, and very well furnished
*It is in a friendly, quiet, residential neighbourhood with character
*There are Bixi bikes literally on your doorstep
*Two Metro stations that are no more than 10 minutes walk away
*Off street car parking
*Outdoor table and chairs in the backard
a big plus, of course, is that Joanna is simply a delightful lady to deal with - thank you!

"A Delightful Stay!"
My husband and I just returned from a delightful 3 night stay at the Bruxelles. We arrived to a tidy and well equipped apartment that allowed us to cook a full meal with what we had picked up at the nearby atwater Market. The Bixi station was located right outside and was convenient enough for us to ride around town without needing to drive or use any public transit (take note that the station may be empty during morning work hours, but the next station was close enough to walk to). Joanna was not in town, but responded to my emails promptly and made sure we were taken care of (by the upstairs tenant? He brought us cooking oil and paper towels when we mentioned we were missing these). There was one morning that the power went out, but I was not worried as we received a long distance call from Joanna reassuring us that she was checking in with other tenants and would resolve the situation. We returned home to everything working just fine. A great experience overall and will bring us back again!

"Ooh La La!"
My husband, teenage son, and I just returned from a fabulous trip to Montreal where we made this apartment our home for the week. We loved the clean, modern furniture, hardwood floors, bamboo sink in the bathroom, and stainless steel appliances. We loved having the private patio out back which included a place to park our car for the week without extra charges. The apartment was in a safe neighborhood and was within walking distance of convenient stores, restaurants and shops in Verdun. Due to the great location of the apartment, we were able to spend the week on bicycles. It was a very short ride by bike to the atwater Market and a Supermarket, which are right beyond the Lachine Canal. The Lachine canal had extensive bicycle trails which we took to Old Montreal and the St. Helen's and Notre Dame Islands. We also rode from the apartment to the famous St. Catherine Street, the Underground, Chinatown, Mount Royal, etc. I searched extensively for a place for us to stay and compared hotels, apartments, and house rentals, and am so glad this one won hands up. Joanna was very easy to communicate with through email and sent very detailed, helpful links to us for our reference while in Montreal. I highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again!

"Real Neighborhood Experience in a cute apartment!"
My family of four, including two teens, came to Montreal for a few days on vacation, driving up from Minneapolis. After the long drive it sure was nice to get to a place we felt "at home" in right away. Joanna was the most responsive owner I talked with, replying immediately to my questions via email with lots of great info - like where I can find special foods to meet my diet needs. Check in was so easy - just get the key from the lockbox and we were in! It was beautiful from the moment we walked in. Although a 1 bedroom, it is much bigger than a hotel room and our teens had plenty of sleeping room in the "salon." It had all the right amenities - including little things like maps and guidebooks, a "guest book" describing the best places to go in the neighborhood and in Montreal, how to do things, like recycling, etc. It made us feel closer to the city than we would feel staying in a touristy hotel. It was a safe, bustling, fun, youngish, ethnic area of town. Loved the fruit shop in easy walking distance! Everything was tastefully designed, including the dishes and appliances. We made some great real food meals instead of eating fast food all the time. The metro was so handy to get around on our tours of the city. Wished we could have stayed longer!

We stayed at "Le New York" which is the same as this one only located on the third floor of the same building. The apartment is very clean, furnished in a simple and elegant way, has a washer/drier, a dishwasher and aC. The only cons I can name were two sets of stairs(again, the advertised apt is on the ground floor so you won't have this issue) and a tiny bathroom, but it all worked out alright anyway.
We found the location to be fairly convenient(public transport to downtown is nearby; stores, supermarkets and restaurants within a short walk) and liked that it is out of the tourist way.
Joanna is a very responsive and caring host, she did everything to make our stay enjoyable.

"Montreal apartment"
Le Bruxelles worked out well for our family as an alternative to very expensive downtown hotels. We loved the convenience of the metro (very easy walking distance) and having a washer and dryer in the apartment. Joanna was extremely helpful and easy to work with; we would not hesitate to rent one of her properties in the future.

"wonderful stay! great location. kids loved the tv"
this was our first trip to Montreal and I stayed with my 3 children ages 14, 12 and 8. When we arrived, the neighborhood and outside were questionable however once we entered the apt it was lovely and matched the pictures we saw online. Once we had our bearings, the location was ideal - within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the Metro station. The owner stopped by to visit and provided helpful information along with coffee and chocolate! If you are arriving from the states, be sure to have an aTM pin code that is 4 characters in length so you can use the local aTM and/or have enough Canadian dollars to get downtown.

"A comfortable 5 months!"
I love staying in this apartment! He responded very well to all my needs! There is enough storage space for two people, the bed is super comfortable and there are plenty of items in stock to make life easier, iron, bedding, dishes, etc.! In addition, the backyard has allowed me to enjoy the morning sun! It's cool to be as close to downtown, the Atwater Market and a multitude of services! Be prepared to pay the price, but it's worth it, considering its location! We have undergone some renovations at the beginning and the end of our stay ... But it was during the day ... Finally, there missing things in the apartment at the base, the owner brought us quickly when we gave him the list! Thank you again :)

"Le Rio"
We spent a month at the Le Rio appartment, which is on top of this one in the picture, and is the same size and has the same good taste. We loved it! We enjoyed the appartment convenince and also the Verdun area where it's located. It's a walking distance from Wellington Street where you can find restaurants, drugstores, supermakets (IGa and Metro). What I loved the most is the area arounnd the river. To go jogging, skating, biking. It's a beautiful area. The metro station is just a 5 mins walk from the building. I certainly recommend it!

"Excellent place to stay"
Hello, I stayed in an apt on the first floor for 7 months. The apartment is really nice, renovated in summer 2011. Everything is clean and new. Among typical machines, the apartment is equipped with new huge TV, amazing huge washing machine and dryer. The landlords are young and very nice people and they react very quickly to all the requests. They are very helpful. In proximity of 30 seconds there is a bus stop of 107 that takes you directly to the main street St Catherine. You also have at least 4 Deppaneurs (corner stores) next to the place, and by 15 mins walk you have a petrol station, the cheapest and biggest grocerys - Maxi (really nice), 2 Metro grocery's stores, Canadian Tire. What is more - to get to the atwater Market and get some fresh fruit you walk 20 mins. And if you need to wath a nice DVD in the evening (we had a dvd in the apartment) there is a really well equipped game Zone studio at Wellington just 5 mins away. I really liked that pleace. It was calm, nice and very safe.
I definitively reccomend!

The apartment is very very nice, spacious and everything is new. The washing and dryer machine, the fridge, stove etc...they are all beautiful, new and good apparels! The location is very good, close to metro on a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. There are some awesome food markets around, you can easily go walking to the beautiful Wellington street to buy your things or just for relaxing. There's bus stop is exactly in front of the apartment and also the Bixi, the "public bike" service, just around the corner, meters away from the apartment's front door.
The owner is an awesome person and she explained me a lot about the region, places to go etc. Everything I need she helped me with.

Unlike AMD's Catalyst drivers, we haven't seen a major overhaul of Nvidia's user interface within the past year. Performance, on the other hand, has definitely changed.
Over the course of almost 14 months, AMD's Catalyst drivers delivered 5% to 10% better performance. For Nvidia, the results are similar but the scale is larger. There are situations where we see little to no change in performance, but those scenarios are few in number. On average, we see a roughly 10% performance increase in as little as nine months.
Some of our results are amazing. In Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and F1 2010, the minimum improvement is 30 percent. In one rare case, the GeForce GTX 480 experienced a 75% performance jump. The only oddball is World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm, where older drivers seem to deliver better performance. Practically speaking, the performance loss may not matter much. If you are already gaming at 90+ FPS in a MMORPG, losing nine FPS is probably inconsequential. But if you are spending hard-earned dough on a graphics card, it's in bad taste to lose performance in subsequent driver updates.
Nvidia proudly advertises how much performance you can gain with each driver release. This isn't without some fine print (literally). The company specifically cites the settings it uses to test, and smartly employs "up to" verbiage to indicate that your mileage may vary. As an example, for the GeForce GTX 480, only a few games in our suite are specifically expected to show improvement.
|Game (Setting)
|Maximum Performance Gain from 197.41 to 266.58 (Per Nvidia)
|Aliens vs. Predator (1920x1200, No AA/AF, Tessellation on)
|Just Cause 2 (2560x1600, No AA/AF, Concrete Jungle)
|Metro 2033 (1920x1200, No AA/16xAF, Tessellation on)
|Aliens vs. Predator (1920x1200, 4xAA/16xAF, Tessellation on)
|Metro 2033 (1920x1200, 4xAA/16xAF, Tessellation on)
|Metro 2033 (1680x1050, No AA/16xAF, Tessellation on)
|Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (1920x1200, 4xAA/16xAF)
|Just Cause 2 (1920x1200, 4xAA/16xAF Dark Tower)
Based upon these games and their settings, we can only say that Nvidia's claims of up to 25% improvement in Just Cause 2 at 2560x1600 seem a bit high, considering we only saw a 9% gain. And we assume the company made a typo, because the game's lowest AF setting is 2x.
Beyond performance gains, the conclusions from our earlier AMD driver article are still valid. We usually assume the largest performance jump occurs when we max out all settings, but this isn't true every time. The reverse actually occurred with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and F1 2010. There are scenarios where new drivers bring better performance at lower resolutions and lower quality settings.
When it comes to the GeForce GTX 480 specifically, drivers seem to matter much more. This makes reasonable sense, given the newness of its Fermi architecture and the expected evolution that happens over time as driver developers and ISVs get more experience from the new hardware. You can look at this one of two ways. Either Nvidia is progressively optimizing its drivers or it did a poor job of delivering good performance when its card launched.
The same can be said for AMD. It is either making fewer optimizations over time, or it is delivering more of its potential performance when a product launches. However, this only applies to the last generation of cards. It's possible that the scenario will change in the future when we look at the GTX 580 and the Radeon HD 6970.

0wild9 , 8 April 2011 00:50Are the driver improvements solely aimed at games or do we also see some gains with CUDA? Many Thanks.
1acku , 8 April 2011 16:01Quote:Are the driver improvements solely aimed at games or do we also see some gains with CUDA? Many Thanks.
That's a really good question. In a few words, graphic driver improvements are aimed solely at games (stability and performance.) There is a reason for this. When a CUDA application performs a calculation, it uses programming calls from the CUDA library. This is separate from the graphics driver, and it's something that NVIDIA updates less often. (The same goes for AMD's APP). It is the CUDA library and CUDA application that ultimately determines the efficiency of GPGPU performance.
Say you wanted to obtain the sum of all integers from 1 to N:
int i, sum = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= N; i++)
sum += i;
printf ("sum: %d\n", sum);
this can be rewritten as
int sum = (N * (N+1)) / 2;
printf ("sum: %d\n", sum);
If N were sufficiently small and hardware performed addition and looping faster than it did multiplication and bit-shifting, this wouldn't be an improvement. But this is an example of making code within a program more efficient and perhaps more performance oriented. When NVIDIA updates its CUDA library, generally we are dealing with either a complier optimization (developer side) or a run-time optimization (user side).

0mi1ez , 8 April 2011 16:47Wow. Pity about the WoW stats. Dropped the ball there!
0asteldian , 8 April 2011 17:04A little careless letting slip with WoW. Not that it matters, 480 is plenty power regardless, but given how popular that game is (for whatever reason) you would have thought making sure the update at least kept things the same with tat game would have been smart
0Anonymous , 14 April 2011 18:45Humm, you should activate directx 11 on WOW. It really gives a good boost on fps and might shift results with the most recent drivers.

Poking Around the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve
I love tidepooling at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve near Moss Beach, but it is no easy feat to get my beloved out there to explore these unusual aquatic habitats with me. Not because he isn't just as amazed as I am to observe live starfish, hermit crabs and sea urchins in the rocky reefs, but because, as a staunch champion for the cause of helpless creatures great and small, it pains him to watch me poke the otherworldly sunburst anemones with a stick. I, too, strive to be a defender of helpless creatures great and small, but the prodding—it's like an involuntary reaction. Spot anemone with tentacles wide open, vulnerable; proceed to jab with stick. Needless to say, don't follow my abhorrent example.
More Capoeira! Shoebox Studios Expands
It looks like the popular Shoebox Studio—a dance, fitness and performing arts venue in the Mission—has outgrown its namesake and its digs. This weekend, the body-positive community center moves into a new location on Folsom with more square-footage for classes, rehearsal space and a new artistic residency for emerging choreographers. The payoff: More opportunities to practice your Afro-Brazilian martial arts at a capoeira class or perfect your hip swivel during a belly dancing session. To celebrate your impending smooth moves, join local band Rhubarb Whiskey and a collection of worldly performers for a silent auction and gala on Apr. 3.

The Frisco Kid: Parenthood by Zip Code
The result of sex in the city? Urban parenthood—an opinionated world often divided into two Type-A tribes: The uptowners ($750 strollers, night nurses, feeder preschools) and downtowners (doulas, slings, ironic onesies). Wherever you fall, though, we've got you covered.

The Recessionist's Guide to the Golden Gate Headlands Marathon, Half Marathon and 7-Mile
This Saturday's official Golden Gate Headlands Marathon, Half Marathon and 7-Mile (yes, that is a trademarked title) has been sold out for awhile now, but these days the debts are high and the funds are low, so no one can blame your for putting that $40 that you might have spent on entry fees toward oh, you know, rent and groceries. Still, this doesn't mean you can't run the route on your own time. Sure, you'll miss that infectious runners' camaraderie, the free-drink stations, the souvenir t-shirt, the race number to proudly display on your refrigerator. But, picking your own sunshiney day to run on near-empty trails is priceless, both literally and figuratively.
Behold Wine Country Wildflowers
If you're anything like me, you're no stranger to missing out on Spring wildflowers in their full glory simply because you've taken their brief lifespan for granted. Stop the senseless cycle of botanical procrastination. Sign up for the wildflower walk at the Bouverie Preserve in Glen Ellen this Saturday, March 27. A guided hike over a few of miles of moderate terrain gets you up close and personal with the park's flora (more than 350 species of flowering plants) and fauna (130 species of birds, plus a healthy population of bobcats, foxes and coyotes). Don't forget to bring a bag lunch, plenty of water, a dose of a non-drowsy antihistamine and, as if you need a reminder, your camera.
Go Chasing Waterfalls: Our Favorite Cascades in Northern California
Who doesn't love waterfalls? There are a bunch of places within driving distance where you can get your feet wet. Here are our favorites.
Berry Creek Falls, Big Basin State Park
Beached Art
What do star-crossed lovers (thanks, Shakespeare), a black fly in your chardonnay (merci, Alanis) and Santa Cruz artist Jim Denevan's elaborate sand drawings have in common? They're all prime examples of beautiful irony. Denevan's doomed artistry—which can be found, on any fair-weather day, on SF's Ocean Beach or Santa Cruz's Cowell Beach—is front-and-center in this month's Sunset magazine.
SF's Alite Brings Delight to Camping Gear
With so many great natural spots within an hour or two of driving, the Bay Area is a camper's paradise. But even as we pack our organic local edibles, throw on our Timbuk2 backpacks, and cover up with a locally-designed raincoat, the gear we take with us is pretty much the same as the rest of the country's: blandly designed, more functional than fun. That's why we were excited to see the new spring product line from Alite, a Mission-based manufacturer of outdoor gear. Founded by three Stanford grads, the company's manufacturing life began with colorful butterfly chairs, which roll up to the size of a burrito (SF-style, of course) and fit easily into a bag.
Find a Climbing Partner (And a Date) at Planet Granite
Imagine, if you will, a world where shortly after being introduced to your future sweetheart, you are forced to view their bottoms. I'm proud to say that my local rock gym, Planet Granite San Francisco, has invented a version of speed-dating (whereby belay-certified lovelorn singles are randomly assigned to climb with other belay-certified lovelorn singles) that makes this normally covert act of tush-peeping not only possible, but necessary.
Get Blissed Out at Yoga Mandala's Workday-Friendly Urban Yoga Retreat
Let's be clear: I'm not dedicating my first official post as the new travel/outdoors/any-pursuits-of-the-active-kind blogger to yoga because I'm some kind of self-proclaimed guru who finds enlightenment through sun salutations. Oh, no. I trudge to class three days a week and subject my body to all manner of torturous twists, bends and inversions only because I'm chasing the flexibility I attained in the summer of 1985 when I took gymnastics classes in a misguided attempt to become Mary Lou Retton. This is not to say that I am not open to finding enlightenment in my practice, which is why I'm contemplating the five-day Urban Yoga Retreat at Yoga Mandala in Berkeley (which starts today!

Stampley returns to Milwaukee in Skylight Music Theatre's 'Porgy & Bess'
It's the terrifying call that every actor nevertheless longs to get.
Cast in the recent Broadway revival of "Porgy and Best" as Robbins - who is murdered and disappears in the opera's first scene - Milwaukee native and Whitefish Bay High School grad Nathaniel Stampley learned at the last minute one night that he would be going on stage as Porgy, one of two roles he was understudying. »Read Full Article
Bieber reminds us that he still makes music
Justin Bieber, 19, has had a problematic PR year, to say the least, with damning headlines practically on a weekly basis. Bieber abandoned his monkey in Germany! Bieber allegedly visited a brothel in Brazil! Bieber urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cussed out a picture of Bill Clinton!
But he's trying to end his year reminding people he's actually a musician with an iTunes exclusive album, "Journals." Released Monday and reportedly only available as a bundle of songs for two weeks, "Journals" features 10 songs that were previously released on a weekly basis starting in October as part of his recent Music Monday series, plus five brand new tunes. »Read Full Article(11)

Although Belgium is known to have many beautiful provinces, perhaps Vlaams Brabant is one of the most exceptional in terms of unique features and cultural value. This region contains many unique historical artifacts and sites of interest, and a lot of them can be found in the city of Leuven. There you can explore streets of the city and come around structures such as the Town Hall or even the Church of Saint Michael. Towards the center of the town is the famous statue of Fonske, and the Beguinage is a relic from centuries past and still stands strong and noble today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stoke City will need to avoid a repeat of their indiscipline at St James' Park in December when they face Newcastle United on Saturday.
Mark Hughes' men were subjected to a 5-1 Premier League hammering on Boxing Day, with a Loic Remy double and goals from Yoan Gouffran, Yohan Cabaye and Papiss Cisse doing the damage.
That encounter was marred by two red cards in the space of three first-half minutes for Stoke, with Glenn Whelan and Marc Wilson given their marching orders before Hughes was later sent to the stands.
Stoke now attempt to avenge that disappointment when they host an out-of-sorts Newcastle side that have suffered three straight defeats, conceding 11 goals in the process.
Alan Pardew's side have lost seven of their last 10 matches in the top flight and had it not been for a strong start to the campaign, Pardew may well have been casting nervous glances at the relegation zone.
Despite their indifferent form, Newcastle appear on course for a top-10 finish with nine points separating them from 11th-placed West Ham.
Stoke – who currently sit in 10th place – can move just three points behind their opponents by consigning them to another defeat this weekend.
Hughes' side will, however, have to improve their recent record against Newcastle, as Pardew's men have triumphed in four of the last five Premier League encounters between the two sides.
Cisse has scored only two Premier League goals this season, but the Senegal striker has found the back of the net in each of Newcastle's last four encounters with the Staffordshire outfit.
In contrast to Newcastle's recent woes, Stoke had been one of the form sides in the division prior to a 3-0 setback at Chelsea last weekend.
Hughes' charges had not been beaten in the five matches previous to that loss, with four of those ending in a victory.
Key to that success has been the form of forward Peter Odemwingie, who was on target against West Ham, Aston Villa and Hull City, and - with four goals in five appearances against Newcastle – the Nigerian will fancy his chances of adding to his tally.
Stoke's on-loan winger Oussama Assaidi is still absent with a knee injury, an issue that has prompted him to visit a specialist in the Netherlands this week, but Stephen Ireland will be hoping to return after missing the Chelsea game with illness.
Newcastle are still without full-back Mathieu Debuchy (groin) and midfielder Moussa Sissoko (hamstring), though Pardew is hopeful striker Remy (calf) and goalkeeper Tim Krul (knee) may be fit enough to return.

Thomas, You're the Leader
this wiki
|Thomas, You're the Leader
|Air date
September 9th,
Thomas, You're the Leader, sometimes called Roll Call Rap, is the first Thomas & Friends song to be performed by a real band. The song was written and arranged by Pete Woodroffe and Charlie Grant and performed by Chris Madin. The song was featured at the end of The Great Discovery.
The song is based on Engine Rollcall, but with additional verses about the Skarloey Railway engines, the Pack, and the remainder of the vehicles. In 2010, the song was remade using CGI footage. The Skarloey Railway, the Pack, Stanley, and various other characters were cut out though, as they were not modelled in CGI at the time.
- It's Thomas (Thomas),
- You're the leader (leader).
- They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight,
- Shunting trucks and hauling freight.
- Red and green and brown and blue,
- They're the useful crew (that's who).
- All with different roles to play
- 'Round Tidmouth Sheds and far away.
- Now Stanley's joined this friendly pack,
- But who's this coming down the track?
- Thomas, he's my number one,
- Shining in the morning sun,
- Working hard but having fun,
- Thomas, you're the leader.
- Thomas, you're the leader.
- Thomas has so many friends,
- The list is long, it never ends.
- James and Percy huff and puff,
- And Emily, she knows her stuff,
- Henry, Edward, what a pair,
- Toby, like I say he's square.
- Gordon thunders down the line.
- Everyone's a friend of mine.
- (That's right)
- Let's not forget the narrow gauge,
- Where small and strong is all the rage.
- Sir Handel, Rusty, Mighty Mac (whoa),
- Fearless Freddie at the back.
- Rheneas, and then Peter Sam,
- Skarloey, Duncan, he's my man.
- With Mr. Percival in charge,
- No work's too hard, no job's too large.
- Jeremy and Harold, Rocky, Harvey too,
- Salty, Mavis, Bertie, the Really Useful crew.
- It's not just engines full of steam,
- There's Jack and all his building team.
- Tipping stones and digging roads,
- Filling trucks and loading loads.
- Sir Topham Hatt, he keeps an eye
- On every engine passing by.
- Everything is tickety boo,
- 'Coz out in front is you-know-who.
