TUALATIN, Ore. — As the NBA Draft draws closer, the group workouts labor on. However, the participants and those paid to watch them are pleading "uncle!"
On Monday morning, the Portland Trail Blazers hosted their ninth workout, but called it a day earlier than some players expected.
"They saw our skill and what we could bring to the table, but at the same time, they realized it's kind of late in the month and everybody's on their ninth and 10th workout," said James Southerland, a four-year forward from Syracuse. "Everyone's bodies are basically deteriorating at this point. We just got to make sure we stay in good shape and bring what we can."
Southerland participated as one of six new invitees who may or may not hear their names called during the NBA Draft on June 27. However, the routine — that hasn't changed since the team's first workout session on May 30 — played out just as predictable as a plot of a Jason Statham movie.
As usual, players gathered at the Blazers' practice facility, found a reversible jersey top, competed against one another, heeded instruction from the coaching staff and each individual finished the session by shooting 3-point shots around the arc.
However, Kenny Boynton, a four-year point guard out of Florida, did reveal one slight change to the process. Boynton said that during a 2-on-2 drill, "one of the guys went out, he got tired."
Although Boynton could not recall the name of the player, Oregon center Tony Woods was not on the floor in the closing moments. Team officials would not say what caused Woods to miss the end of the session.
Boynton has completed six workouts, a relatively small number compared to other players. Although he feels refreshed, Boynton can understand why the Blazers would cut the workout short.
"I have energy," Boynton declared, "but I think (it was) for the other guys because they've been doing back-to-back workouts."
As Southerland explained, the actual work on the court does not factor as much into the fatigue, but the travel from city to city can be a taxing experience.
"I'm not really tired, just a little banged up and plane rides. Those plane rides are killer!" Southerland said. "I'm 6-8 and cramped on a little plane seat … so it's the worst."
The tiny jet seat sure did not make 7-footer Colton Iverson's recent trip from Chicago to Los Angeles a pleasant journey. Iverson, who finished his redshirt senior season at Colorado State with averages of 14.2 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, said that he has participated in 14-15 workouts. Consider that they are 30 teams in the league, and it becomes clear just how many window seats Iverson has folded into this summer.
"It's good that it's winding down here this week," said Iverson, whose final workout will be Sunday, "but the (Blazers) workout was good, it was very competitive today."
The Blazers announced that the 10th pre-draft workout will be held on Wednesday morning — same place, same time, the routine rolls on.

Tips from 35,000 Feet: Barbados
Known the world over for being the birthplace of rum, our visits to Barbados would not be complete without a trip to the Mount Gay Rum Centre, the oldest rum distillery on the island and in the world, dating back to 1703. Everyone can taste before they buy and get some valuable insight into the secret ingredients and historic influences. Needless to say that they set the standards for this spirit – it is "the rum that invented rum" after all!
With free drinks on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and themed shindigs the rest of the week, Harbour Lights has been one of the best places we've experienced the Caribbean nightlife and one of the most popular open-air beachfront clubs in Barbados since opening in the mid-80s. We love feeling the soft sand between our toes as we dance to pumping calypso, live reggae and soca rhythms with the crowd of expats, tourists and local party animals.
When we're in the mood for a decadent splurge on dinner, we always opt for the 7-course tasting menu at The Cliff. The celebrated chef Paul Owen is renowned for his dish of Cajun salmon served with a light drizzle of pesto cream sauce with buttery grilled courgettes – it's served pink and we can definitely recommend it! We always try to book a table on the lower level to dine with the sound of waves in the background. Dress to impress and just remember to bring your hardiest credit card.
If, like us, you're looking for accommodation in Barbados that has views of the ocean, tropical landscaping, and is decorated in an effortlessly elegant style, you'll probably want to spend your nights, and probably some of your days, at Sandy Lane Hotel. It's one of the most iconic landmark hotels on the island and has been attracting the world's wealthy to its idyllic resort setting for over half a century. There are a dozen restaurants and bars on site, including a cigar lounge and a beach bar that we love. Those of us travelling with children can also relax here with the fabulous Treehouse Club to keep them amused and out of trouble.
Have you experienced the beauty of Barbados? What was your favourite moment?

Newbery Honor Award—winning author Mavis Jukes is back with a lovable new character named Carson. His father moves him to a new town in Northern California, where he'll be the new kid in class—friendless and alone, except for his beloved stuffed moose (named Moose, of course). As Carson settles into his new surroundings, a series of delightful mishaps start to occur: the class pet, a rat named Mr. Nibblenose, gets lost to surprising results; the culprit of a mysterious lunch theft might actually be something that's not human at all; and when his beloved Moose goes missing, Carson makes his first new non-stuffed animal friend. Told with childlike charm and wit, The New Kid is perfect for newly independent readers.
About the Author
I grew up in New City, New York, and Princeton, New Jersey. I loved everything to do with the West: especially saddles, old horseshoes, and boots with inlaid roses on the sides. I have been a cowboy ever since I was a little kid and I'm not talking fringy skirt. I'm talking woolly chaps and huge palomino horse that rears up on its hind legs, snorts, whinnies, and gallops across the plains in a thunderstorm when I'm out there chasing bad guys. However, in my actual real life, I moved out West when I was eighteen but didn't buy a horse. I have to admit it: I've never had the cattle, only the hat. Total livestock count: one sheep. I studied sculpture, education, and law. I've been an elementary school teacher and thanks to Frances Foster a children's writer. Frances started me off writing children's books, and I will be forever in her debt for that.
I have lived on a small ranch in northern California for 32 years. I have two great stepsons and two great daughters. For the past two years, I have been writing lyrics for country songs, fulfilling the not-so-secret dream I've had ever since my book "No One is Going to Nashville "was published in 1983. Now that my kids are grown, I spend all of my spare time out on the high desert plains under the big skies with my husband, Bob, where we drive out on lonesome, two-rut roads to hunt for rocks, twisted wire, and rusty, shot-up buckets and cans. And to rustle up ideas and images: for books, songs, and artwork. Bob is a sculptor who incorporates found objects in his work. I am his biggest fan, lifelong companion, and partner in the hunt. He's an art cowboy who wears J.B. Hill boots with stars on the tops and a Stetson with a bent brim. I've been getting a lot of ideas and inspiration from Bob, beginning with "No One is Going to Nashville "and "Like Jake and Me "and continuing right on up through "Smoke". So, thanks, Bob!

Calif. Grocery Workers' Contract to Expire
Calif. Grocery Workers' Contract to Expire
Three years after a bitter strike and lockout, supermarket employees in Southern California are once again looking for a new contract. They hope to get rid of the two-tiered wage and benefit system adopted in 2004 after a four-and-a-half-month walkout.
The current contract expires Monday and both sides are anxious to avoid another work stoppage.

The sys admin's daily grind: Miniflux
Sys admin Charly Kühnast typically follows 40 to 50 RSS feeds using Tiny Tiny RSS on his own server. Now, the good times spent with the faithful Tiny are coming to an end. Read on to discover the whole story.
I read about the demise of RSS about twice a week, or at least it feels that way; I cannot actually confirm that for my part. However, 200 to 300 new entries reach me every day in Tiny Tiny RSS. Of course, I mostly just skim over the headlines; I don't check the website of my online daily newspaper for the content that I want to read, I only subscribe to the feeds that are interesting to me.
From time to time, I try out alternatives to my loyal Tiny purely out of curiosity. This is how Miniflux recently landed on my server. The small Flux tool has been on my "must try" list since my esteemed colleague Dmitri Popov blogged about it last year [1]. My hesitation bothers me a bit because this RSS reader is really good.
Even the installation takes less than two minutes: Download the ZIP file [2]; unzip on the server, and customize the write privileges – all done, and ready to log in. The tool does not require any Apache or SQL wizardry. SQLite is the back end, which I do not have to touch outside of the installation.
More or Less Colorful
Then, there is the design (Figure 1). Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the architect to whom the saying "less is more" [3] is attributed, would be totally thrilled. However, if Friedensreich Hundertwasser is more to your taste, you can resort to colorful themes, including one aptly named Nostyle.

- From: The Courier-Mail
- February 18, 2014
A FINANCIAL adviser has faced court over the murder of Gold Coast spiritual counsellor Hugo Bonham.
Trung Ma, 35, has been remanded in custody until March 31.
Ma's lawyer Michael Bosscher did not make an application for bail for his client, who has been charged with murder and misconduct of a corpse by interfering.
Police discovered the body of Mr Bonham, 63, in an Indooroopilly storage shed on Monday night.
Dressed in prison-issued clothes and with his back to the public gallery, Ma sat shaking in the dock during the brief mention in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
Magistrate John McGrath granted police a forensic procedure order.
Outside court, Mr Bosscher said his client was "very distressed".
"He finds himself facing a very serious charge," he said.
"It comes as a surprise to him and he's very concerned about his future."
Mr Bosscher told reporters Ma, a father-of-one, voluntarily attended Indooroopilly police station, where he was arrested over Mr Bonham's death.
He said his client had been in communication with police "for a period of time".Originally published as Man 'surprised' by Guru death charge

my financial diversity. Is certification a good direction to go and if so, which certification would be wise to get a good foot in the IT door?
Certification is a great way to get a foot in the door; however, remember that employers prefer hands-on experience to certification if they must choose one over the other. Even if you can't claim "on the job" experience, once you're certified, you should go into any job interview prepared to sell your learning and hands-on experience (Even if you only have a two-node network at home that you've practiced on).
I would strongly recommend pursuing a small sequence of CompTIA certifications to start with. Begin with the A+, then go for the Network+, then get the i-Net+ (all of these are documented at www.comptia.org). After that, you?ll not only have a ?pretty good general computing and networking background, you'll probaly have a much better idea of what kind of certification you wish to pursue going forward from there. One more thing, you can read a general online book I've written about certification programs at my parent company's Web site at www.leapit.com (You must sign up as a member to gain access to this book. It is called "Certification Essentials" and appears within the LearnIt area on the site). Depending on what kind of work you want to do, I'd recommend pursuing an MCSE for network administration work, or the Cisco CCNA/CCNP if you'd be happier working on network infrastructure. If this sounds like so much gibberish to you right now, it won't after you complete the initial series of CompTIA exams (which is, of course, why I recommended them as your starting point).

Hi biker folk.
My dad turned me on to this site -- he is a 65 yr old avid biker -- and I quickly concluded that there probably wasn't a better group of people to start chatting with on the WEB.
I am a post 40 male who quit smoking on 4/20; live within a stones throw (1/2 mile) of an incredible paved trail system; barring snow cover, ride year round; and recently began to commute the 25 miles to work a minimum of three days per week. I also ride several 50's on top of the commutes and hope to increase both: the frequency of the commutes and the distances of the other rides.
I own three bikes: road, hybrid and mountain. The road bike gets the most attention; it's the commuter. The hybrid is my shopper, whereas the mountain is my all terrain animal.
Goals: more centuries, faster commuting, clear lungs, fun...

Ultimate Bet Algorithm
Question:First, I want to thank you for your site. It's very imformative and from an old-time poker player, it's taught an old dog a few new tricks. I've been playing poker on and off for about 35 years. Never in hi limit pots and for many years, I didn't shuffle a deck of cards. Recently, I've started playing texas holdem online, generally in the freerolls at Ultimatebet.com. Most of the freerolls have 800 or more players and I've come in in the top 10 many times and won a couple. I think I'm ready to move on to the $ tables although, I've never really had a trusting feeling playing against computer generated cards. Here's an observation I've made while playing at UB. I've recently been tracking this and it's scary to think I may have found something out about their algorithm. If I have an open end straight on the flop the turn is either one card AWAY from completing my straight OR it pairs a card of the flop. Example, I have 9/10 and the flop is 8/J/3 the turn will be 6, K or pair the 8, J or 3. When tracking these open ends straights, this happened 81 of 100 hands!! The river sometimes follows this trend if the turn paired a flopped card and will be one from completing my straight. I've talked to a mathematician who plays at UB and he is now watching for the same thing. This is quite a strange phenomenon and I'd like your input on the subject. Can one feel safe playing at the online poker sites? I know there are several blacklists of online casinos available but as of yet, haven't read much on them.
Again, thanks for your site and your time.
Top 3 Beginner Rooms
Answer: To bet honest I haven't played at Ultimate Bet that much so it wouldn't be right for me to comment on their fairness. My general advice for this is that if you don't feel comfortable playing at a site because things seem off, then don't play there. Take your money out and go some where else where you feel like you can trust the operation. There are crooks in all businesses so it wouldn't surprise me if some online poker sites had something weird going on. That doesn't mean they are all bad though. Try a few before you settle down.

Last year, investors were concerned about dividend cuts. This year? If a company doesn't announce a dividend increase within 30 seconds of releasing its quarterly reports, there's panic.
After Johnson & Johnson reported on Tuesday an increase in its first quarter earnings, trimmed its full-year forecast because of foreign exchange concerns and omitted any reference to its dividend (full disclosure: I own shares in Johnson & Johnson), Think Dividends posted this blog item:
"It appears as if Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) 47 year streak of consecutive dividend increases has come to an end. For the past five years, JNJ has raised their dividend in April. Today, in all of the earnings releases and articles that I have read, there was no mention of the word increase, let alone dividend," the blogger wrote.
That's because Johnson & Johnson releases information about dividend hikes about a week or so after it reports its first quarter results. In 2009, the company reported on April 14, but announced a 6.5 per cent dividend boost nine days later, on April 23. In 2008, it reported on April 15 and announced a 10.8 per cent dividend boost on April 24 - also nine days later.
If Johnson & Johnson keeps its dividend-hiking record intact this year, Think Dividends (and others) can expect an announcement next Thursday. According to Bloomberg, analysts estimate the quarterly payout will be raised to 53 cents (U.S.) from 49 cents, which is an 8.2 per cent increase.Report Typo/Error

- Nicky Miles
- Mark Willemite
- Lee Williams
- Jonathan Reed
- Rory and Katherine Costain
- Rafal Pilot
- Patrick Helm
- Kerry Simmons
- Alex Sindila
Nicky Miles has danced from an early age, and is now co-principal of the Star Dance Club. Along with his business partner, Mark Willemite, they run a very successful school in Kent and South London. Training pupils from beginner level up to professional level in all styles, they continue to spread the word of dance.
A member of the ISTD, he soon became involved in the running of competitions throughout the country, and many weekends are still spent on the road. The Ballroom Teachers Committee of the ISTD, which works to promote the work of the Society, was the first Committee onto which he was invited.
Nicky is Chairman of the ISTD Club Dance Faculty, Chairman of the ISTD Awards Committee, a member of the ISTD Competition Committee and is now chairman of the ISTD Ballroom Teachers Committee.
Nicky also sits on the British Dance Council and The Everyone is Born to Dance Committee - a group of dedicated people all with one aim - to bring dancing into the life of everyone. The Ballroom Teachers Committee of the British Dance Council is another aspect of his busy life.
In 2002 he received the Imperial Award for services to the Society. Back in 1999 he, along with Richard Hunt, introduced the Grand Finals weekend at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool; an event that now attracts over 4,000 competitors. Recently he received the Carl Alan Award for services to dance, which is an honour to say the least.
The Ballroom Blitz, a regular showpiece of the London social dance calendar held every year, keeps him more than busy for one day every year. Thousands of people come to the South Bank to be entertained with social dancing and shows. Working alongside Peggy Spencer MBE, they merge all aspects of dancing - something he will try to do for many years to come.
Mark Willemite
Innovation, creativity and inspiration are the qualities Mark believes are essential in an ever-changing dance world. Mark started dancing at the age of nine, an event that unknowingly was to set the course of his life
His parents agreed he would join the then Eden School of Dancing at the invitation of Edna Cattermoul, for a trial three weeks only; if he didn't enjoy it, he would leave. I think it is fair to say Mark's involvement in dance has extended beyond those initial three weeks. Loving the music and the freedom of expression that dance gives, Mark has danced from that time on.
Mark has trained many young competitive dancers to British and International level. Over the years, he has produced several British juvenile champions and many junior and youth finalists. His involvement is inexhaustible. He clearly has an eye for detail and an understanding of people's needs on an emotional and practical level .Working alongside Nicky Miles, together they run the very successful Star Dance Club in Kent, where they teach all ages from Beginner to Professional level.
As well as teaching, Mark has lectured twice for the World Congress and has choreographed children for numerous shows for the Royal Variety Club, Palladium and Sadler's Wells. In the past he appeared on the original series of Come Dancing and more recently worked on Strictly Come Dancing and the exciting Olympic Torch Parade at the Festival Hall celebrating the torch's journey through the capital. The Star Dance Club gets involved in anything that is a vehicle to promote dancing.
Lee Williams
Lee Williams has danced since the age of 6. He was a successful competitor both as an amateur and professional.
Competing at home and abroad, demonstrating and performing in exhibitions,he turned professional at the early age of 19.
Turning professional, he studied under Gordon Little, where he achieved three fellowships in Ballroom, Latin American and Old Time, all affiliated to the 'Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing', ISTD. Recognised as possibly the most prestigious society in the dance world, Lee was soon made a faculty member for the Sequence Branch.
In recent years, due to many work commitments, Lee no longer sits on the Sequence faculty but is a regular lecturer for the ISTD.
He is also in great demand with Oxford University where he coaches on a regular basis and has done for many years. His influence has led the Oxford team to the title of National Champions.
Lee is a valued and vibrant member of the Star Dance team, adding his unique qualities to the school, and has done so for over 20 years.
Jonathan Reed
Jonathan began dancing at the age of 8 when he took his first 'Popular Dance Test' with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. To this day he remains a very active member of this society. He took part in the many medallist and open competitions held throughout South East England during the late 70s and 80s, of which one of his proudest achievements was reaching the final of the International Juvenile Ballroom Championships in 1979. He has gained experience and knowledge in other dance styles including modern and tap, and took part in many amateur productions at local theatres.
He has a strong passion for introducing other people, young and old, to the world of dance, and he embarked on his profession with the ISTD.
Since taking his Ballroom Student Teacher examination in February 1992, he has achieved Fellowship status in Modern Ballroom, as well as Licentiate qualifications in Latin American, Disco Freestyle and Rock 'n' Roll, and he is continuing to study to achieve his Fellowship in these dance genres, as well as assisting other teachers in the development of their technical understanding. He also holds a BTEC National Diploma in Business Studies and worked for many years in the retail sector.
Jonathan has a particular interest in Disco, Freestyle and Rock 'n' Roll and has been responsible for developing this to competition standard within the Star Dance Club, having had finalists and winners at National Grand Finals. As such, he is an area organiser for the ISTD DFR Faculty, regularly judging at their area competitions, and on several occasions he has submitted dances for consideration as set dances in their annual selection process.
Jonathan particularly enjoys the challenges of teaching children from their fun first steps to performance success, and has the patience and understanding to assist all ages with their introduction into the exciting world of dance.
Rory and Katherine Costain
Rory and Katherine have danced all their lives. Rory began ballroom & latin at the age of 10 and Katherine started with ballet at the age of 3 and moved onto ballroom, latin & sequence at the age of 7.
Both Rory & Katherine completed their ISTD examinations through the medal test system and also regularly competed in open competitions for a combined total of 44 years (!) before retiring to concentrate on their teaching careers.
Since teaming up in 1999, they have had a successful competitive partnership with the highlight being representing England at the European and World Championships for Classic Showdance in 2004, 2005 & 2006 with their highest ranking being 8th in the world. They are also former UK Closed professional ballroom finalists and British National professional ballroom semi finalists.
While competing, Rory was also a director of the British Dance Council.
In 2007 they hung up their competitive shoes to concentrate on their teaching careers which have grown from strength to strength and currently hold Licentiate level qualifications with the ISTD.
They have also been the Ballroom Dancesport coaches for Cambridge University. While coaching at the University, their team became National & Varsity Champions and retained these titles throughout the years they worked with them.
Rory & Katherine have also been cast as 'dancing extras' in numerous Films & TV programmes including Poirot, Bleak House, Iris, Cambridge Spies, Cazalet Cronicles and Cambridge Spies.
Katherine also holds the role of ISTD Sequence Faculty secretary regularly working with professionals and individuals throughout the country on Sequence matters.
Rory and Katherine find coaching very rewarding and enjoy sharing the knowledge they have gained from inspirational teachers with pupils of all ages and levels.
Rafal Pilot
Raf has been dancing since the age of 14. From the age of 19, he studied at the University of Technology in Wroclaw, and simultaneously the Dance University studying Ballroom, Latin, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Folk and Ballet.
He trained with Arkadiusz Pawlovic, the Polish Champion and competed for fourteen years in Ballroom and Latin American competitions, representing Poland.
In 2005, he created 'Let's dance', a school where people could be taught to dance at all levels. Wanting to advance his career potential and develop his dance skills, Raf moved to the UK in 2008.
Patrick Helm
Born in Berlin, Germany, Patrick grew up within a dancing family and started dancing from the age of 5. From early beginnings, Patrick had a passion and desire for dance, which was to be his life.
From learning as a child, his interests followed Ballroom and Latin American, a genre that was to lead him to an international career.
His success as a competitor won him, the East German 10 dance Championship, The Berlin Championship and even the Welsh Open Championship, as eventually he came to live in the UK. Patrick was also ranked in the top 24 in the 'Open British Championships', a world ranking and a considerable achievement.
Eventually, having competed for many years, Patrick decided to turn his dance skills towards theatre performance. He appeared all over the world and his theatre credits are as follows:
Star Dance Tour, Germany 1999
Strictly Ballroom UK 2005
Simply Ballroom UK 2006
Burn the Floor. Last Dance Tour, Asia. 2006
Floorplay, World Tour 2007-2009
Burn the Floor, Broadway USA/West End, UK 2009-2010
Working with Jason Gilkinson and Peta Roby, was inspirational, they have influenced Patrick's dance life, working alongside Jason on shows like 'So You Think You Can Dance', Australia and Holland. Also, he has been involved with, 'Street Dance 3D', the movie.
Patrick has worked with many amazing teachers over the years both in the UK and internationally.
His personal favourite highlight so far was performing in 'Broadway on Broadway', in front of millions!
Kerry Simmons
As a child Kerry attended classes within the school, took her medal examinations, worked her way up the grades and eventually started to take part in medalist competitions. As a natural progression, Kerry then took her dancing a stage further and entered 'open' competitions. This is where the level and abilities of a dancer are matched against the best in the world.
Kerry competed in Ballroom and Latin American, competing at the famous Blackpool, British 'Open' Championships where she achieved a ranking in the top 64, out of over 400 entries with her dance partner Katsutoshi. As a partnership, they won several titles across the UK and abroad.
Due to family commitments, Kerry then decided to concentrate on studying for her professional examinations to become a qualified teacher. Kerry has come full circle from learning as a child to now teaching within the school, where her own children now participate.
In her words: "My life has been so close to the Star Dance Club over the last 21 years. I have made some fantastic friends, some I now consider family, who also share the fun and excitement of dance offered at the Star dance Club. I wish my dancing journey to be a success, to employ what my teachers have taught me and continue the success of the Star Dance Club."
Alex Sindila
Alex and Katie have danced together since 2003. Alex is Russian and Katie is English. They represent England in international competitions. Some of their results include winning the British National Under 21 championships, finalists of the British Open Under 21 championships, finalist of the International Professional Rising Star championships and runners up at the UK Open Professional Rising Star championships. They have both achieved Licentiate qualifications in Ballroom with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing

Movie Review: 'Jack the Giant Slayer'
Bryan Singer's "Jack the Giant Slayer" takes a centuries-old fairy tale and makes it fresh, energetic and wide-eyed in a way that stays faithful to the spirit of magical storybooks but resizes the story in all the right ways.
First and foremost, "Jack the Giant Slayer" is not in league with the spate of "dark reimaginings" of fairy tales that the major studios saw as a potential post-"Twilight" gold mine, movies such as "Red Riding Hood," "Snow White and the Huntsman" and the ridiculous "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," which served up the Brothers Grimm with ironic distance and creative deficits. "Jack the Giant Slayer" is a deft combination of two separate-but-related stories, incorporating the sky-high fantasy of "Jack and the Beanstalk" and sweeping Arthurian adventure of "Jack the Giant Killer," and the solid, earnest script by Christopher McQuarrie never winks at the audience as it climbs onward and upward.
Jack (Nicholas Hoult of "X-Men: First Class" and "Warm Bodies") is a young farmhand who has a chance encounter with the adventurous Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) on a visit to the Kingdom of Cloister to sell his poor family's horse in a bad deal for a handful of magic beans. As Isabelle rebels against the protective nature of her father, King Brahmwell (Ian McShane), her misadventures ultimately result in one of those beans taking root, sending the princess and the farm boy skyward on a towering, miles-high beanstalk.
What Jack encounters at the top of the stalk is an entire army of lumbering grotesque oafs led by General Fallon (voiced by Bill Nighy), a colossus with a smaller secondary head growing out of his collarbone. The arrival of mortal men in their realm stirs up the giants, and Isabelle is captured. The crisis gives the king's shifty courtier Roderick (Stanley Tucci) a chance to make a power grab, forcing Isabelle's faithful knight Elmont (Ewan McGregor) and Jack to make another ascent to wage war with the giants.
Hoult approaches Jack with refreshing innocence and earnestness, characteristics that Singer does his best to evoke throughout the entire film. The effects are better than most of the marketing for "Jack the Giant Slayer" might suggest — the motion-capture technology on the giants is impressive, and the computer animation on the beanstalk strongly conveys the idea of a massive, sky-high plant towering over the kingdom. With a committed cast and a story that does justice to the folk tale, "Jack the Giant Slayer" offers big surprises.
— George Lang

Europe Discovers Shaw
JUST ONE YEAR BEFORE THE EXPRESSION OF POPULAR INTEREST IN Shaw'S PLAYS made itself strongly felt in the United States, began the Shavian invasion of Europe. In November, 1900, the thirty-year-old journalist, Siegfried Trebitsch, visited London to write letters to Vienna regarding the English stage. At the National Liberal Club, where they met by appointment, William Archer pointed out to Trebitsch the brilliant and original works of Shaw, as comparing favorably with the best dramatic work of the Continent. After reading Shaw's published plays, Trebitsch felt that he had discovered a genius.1
With unbreakable resolution, Trebitsch called at 10 Adelphi Terrace, and finally succeeded in inducing Shaw to accept him as translator. "I did what I could," says Shaw, "to dissuade him from what seemed a desperate undertaking; but his faith in my destiny was invincible." At this time, Shaw unblushingly confesses, "I was rated in the theatrical world of London as an absurd pamphleteer, who had been allowed to display his ignorance of the rudiments of stage technique, and his hopeless incapacity for representing human nature dramatically or otherwise, in a few performances at coterie theatres quite outside recognized theatrical commerce."2
It was at the very close of 1902 that Shaw first came to European notice through Trebitsch's translation of three plays.3 Immediately before the publication of Trebitsch's translations, the great Danish critic, Georg Brandes, urged that these plays be produced in Denmark. And in his foreword, speaking of Shaw, Trebitsch writes:____________________

Section 236 Rental Housing:
An Evaluation with Lessons for the Future
PAD-78-13: Published: Jan 10, 1978. Publicly Released: Jan 10, 1978.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
The Section 236 Rental Assistance Program provided new and rehabilitated rental housing to low and moderate income tenants. This program, along with other housing initiatives, was created in 1968 to boost the nation's existing housing supply. It joined Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance with a direct mortgage interest subsidy, the usual tax incentives for residential development, and special tax incentives for low and moderate income housing. This combination of subsidies and a 40-year mortgage term resulted in lower rents than would have been possible in conventionally financed projects.
Section 236 has been effective in providing housing for moderate income families during a period when the supply of moderately-priced rentals has been shrinking. However, section 236 construction is complete, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) refused to make new commitments under the program. At the same time, current public policy provides housing assistance to low income households, and middle and upper income household benefit from tax expenditures for mortgage interest deductions and tax incentives for rental housing. Housing subsidy costs have been analyzed unsatisfactorily because little consideration has been given to indirect subsidies or long-term costs. Alternatives to construction continue to be stressed primarily because of short-term cost savings.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Recommendation: The Secretary, HUD, should design positive measures to ensure that moderate income households receive some equitable share of future housing assistance. HUD should revive section 236 to provide moderate income housing until workable alternatives are developed. Congress should provide additional funding for section 236 to allow HUD to enter into new commitments under the program and amend present housing law to require some percentage of housing assistance funds to be used to subsidize moderate income households.

Deputies: Palm Coast man chased, threatened grandson with knife
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:27 a.m.
PALM COAST — When a Palm Coast grandfather had a disagreement with his grandson over "rent and bills," he threw a table at the 18-year-old and then chased him down the street with a knife threatening to "chop him up," according to Flagler County sheriff's Deputy Darrell Butler.
John Robert Stacy, 56, was charged Monday with domestic violence battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The grandson told the deputy that Stacy first threw a table at him, which caused him to "retreat into his bedroom," the report states.
Stacy then grabbed the teen by the shirt and punched him in the face.
The teen struck back, according to the report, "to create distance and escape."
Stacy then grabbed a 16-inch knife and chased his grandson down the street threatening to "chop him up," and "kill him." He also told him he was going to "run his (expletive deleted) over" and went into the house to get his keys.
Three others who live in the home on Plainview Drive told Butler they saw Stacy chase his grandson while wielding the knife, which was collected as evidence.
Stacy was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility after being medically cleared for a complaint of pain in his right eye. He was being held Tuesday on $6,000 bail.

Do you believe in luck? Most people do but many still believe that in order for you to become rich or successful you should be industrious and patient. But still many successful entrepreneurs believe that they also have luck on their side that is why they become successful. Like for instance the woman behind EHJE'S peanut butter, Jennilyn Antonio. Today her company is producing eight tons of peanut butter a month and targeting eighteen tons a month. Supplying 50 branches of large stores and targeting 500 branches nationwide of a famous bakeshop in the Philippines.
So you may ask, how did she become successful? Before this blessing she is now enjoying, like most of us who just making ends meet, they had many financial problems: Paying tuition fees, debts and everyday expenses. Jennilyn was a factory worker and her husband Vicente was a driver. She has a side line of selling viand, kakanin and many kinds of foodstuffs to her co workers and friends.
One day when she was in a market buying ingredients for her cooking, she saw ground peanut paste being sold (used for making kare-kare). She has no idea why she focused her attention to those peanuts and she immediately taught of making peanut butter. She doesn't know how to make peanut butter but she insists of making one herself and experimented. With a stroke of luck she got the right formula with only a single trial. Until now, it is the same recipe she using for manufacturing tons of peanut butter.
I think in the story, it's not just luck, patience and being industrious are the reasons to become successful. This is the secret "You don't have to make it right; you just have to get it going." If she procrastinates or think negatively or say to herself "I don't know it", someone else instead of her will enjoy that blessing.

Two weeks after the release of the long expected N.E.R.D. new album "Nothing", our producer Koolade created an awesome '80s-like remix of their first single "Hypnotize u". There is a possibility that Universal will release this as an official remix on iTunes and we strongly keep our fingers crossed. :)

The National Went InterNational
The famous indie rock band The National is back in Zagreb this Sunday, November the 14th. This will be their third time in Zagreb and since their first Croatian concert in the club KSET six years ago, that they consider one of the most special concerts in their career, The National grew into one of the biggest indie rock bands in the world. This time, they will swap the charming, but rather small stage of the KSET, with the much bigger one, at the large hall of the "Bocarski dom Zrinjevac".
The National is currently on an international tour, having sold the concerts in London, Paris and Berlin. The album, which was released in May, won them a prestigious Q Award for the best album of the year and "High Violet" soon became one of the highest selling albums in the States. Considering their take-off, next time we'll be listening to them at the stadium! :)
IDM Music represents their both publishing and master rights for the region.

IDM Music once again in Hollywood
Few days ago in the theaters across Europe a new Hollywood hit "The American" started airing, for which soundtrack IDM Music licensed the composition "Timmy" by the famous Italian composer Ennio Morricone.
The film, in which George Clooney plays the main role, is directed by photographer Anton Corbijn, known for directing the music videos for Nirvana, Metallica and Depeche Mode, as well as for directing the film "Control" about life of Ian Curtis, frontman of the band Joy Division.
The composition "Timmy" is originally part of the soundtrack composed for the cult western from 1968, "Once Upon a Time in the West", by Sergio Leone.
After "Kill Bill", "Inglorious Basterds" "Godfather III" and other important titles of the world of film, with this deal IDM Music confirmed once again an important role it has in creating the sound coulisses of the seventh art.
