Colin Farrell steals every scene in Horrible Bosses as a coked up tool named Bobby Pellit who's running his father's company into the ground. Near unrecognizable with his dodgy comb-over and permanently drugged up leer, it's an opportunity for the Irish screen hunk to take a well-earned vacation from his broodingly handsome bad boy image.
Horrible Bosses starts off really well. First we meet Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), the middle management working stiff who has been logging 12-hour days and handling every curve ball his insanely bullying supervisor Dale Harken (Kevin Spacey) throws at him.
"My mother came here from the old country, she took no s*** from anyone," Hendricks tells us, "and she died with $2,000 in her bank account -- that sucks."
Well, yes it does. And when it's good Horrible Bosses expertly underlines the widening gulf between the American dream and the American reality. When it stops doing that -- and it stops quickly -- is when the trouble starts.
Playing victimized employees with awful bosses, Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis have real chemistry together as Nick, Dale and Kurt, three hardworking saps who daily get suckered. What, Horrible Bosses asks, do good men do when your boss is a hateful psycho, a rapist or a total tool?
If quitting is not an option then perhaps hatching a convoluted plan to permanently rid the world of these parasites is the only way?
Soon the three lads are bickering with each other about the shape their murder plans should take. If bumping off their three tormentors sounds a little harsh at first, it becomes clear they're completely trapped and without other options.
As Bobby Pellit, a coked-up egomaniac who wants to squeeze every last cent from his father's company to bankroll his epic benders, Irish screen hunk Colin Farrell is a revelation. Fans will already know he's a gifted comic actor, but this in this role, as a middle aged man-child with a dodgy comb over and a permanent leer, he's virtually unrecognizable.
"It was just fun on the page," Farrell explained to the press this week, outlining why he took the role.
"One thing that stands out after 12 years of reading scripts -- on this one I really did laugh out loud on the couch at home, which doesn't happen very often when reading comedies I've found.
"Through the years I just haven't found many of them that funny. Yeah, it was kind of crass and it was without apologies, and at the same time there was some really well observed behavioral stuff."
Farrell plays the failure-to-launch son of Sudeikis' kindly boss, who unfortunately for Sudeikis dies in the first scene. When Farrell's character takes over the reins with his dad out of the picture, it's one of those classic son will destroy in a minute what his father took decades to build set-ups.
"I had complete license with Bobby to just be as pathologically f***ed up as I possibly could be. Bobby believes he has complete autonomy over the world he lives in. He's the boss's son, nobody's going to f*** with him, he can do what he wants and he thinks he's God's gift to women.
"And he's really not -- he's really tragic and miserable and lonely, but he has no idea. There was a plethora of stuff to play with, and it didn't feel like you could do it wrong."
Unfortunately for Horrible Bosses, Farrell's scenes get the biggest laughs but he's criminally underused in the final cut. Each time he does appear it's a blazing reminder of the kind inspiration and smarts Horrible Bosses aspires to and continually falls short of.
Starting off with a literally killer premise, the film brilliantly captures some of the universal realities of working life for the first 20 minutes, and then it gives it all up to become a cookie-cutter caper flick where women and minorities are just handy foils for the real story -- what will happen to the three put-upon guys?
Searching for a hit man to do their dirty work for them, our three clueless pals use their On-Star navigator to direct them to the most crime-ridden part of town. Soon they're standing outside a bar filled with African Americans. Oh boy.

Inside they meet a tough guy named Mother F***ker Jones (played by -- and I can hardly believe I'm writing this -- Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx). At this point in the film, if you don't want to hurl your popcorn at the screen in total howling derision, you may well be as dumb as the screenwriters seem to think you are.

San Giovanni a Carbonara: An Ancient Beauty

by Antonella Bianco A little known wonder. The name of this church refers to the fact that in this place, Via Carbonara, until the end of the Middle Ages, they burned the garbage of Naples, letting the water from the hills to the north (Sanità-Capodimonte) drag the sediments to the sea.

I'm reading the recently released Capri: The Island Revisited at the moment. It is the revival of a book originally entitled Capri that was written by an American, one John Clay MacKowen in 1884. It was publisher John Churchill's chance encounter with the book in the library in Capri that brought about its resurrection, which I'll write more about that at later date.

by Sudonihm
a very nice, but lightweight Chambray shirt that looks great. Great workmanship and style.
by Fadi
First Ledbury shirt and wont be the last. The lower second button really gives this shirt less of a stuffy feel and is noticeably better looking than its more classical counterparts. The collar holds up great under a casual blazer with no tie (just like advertised in their promo video). The texture of the shirt is true to its photo on this site so what you see is really what you will get. The slim fit is nice, I am 5'11" 160lbs and the size 15 was about perfect. Very, very, cool.
by Frank deSerio
This shirt looks rich because of its textured coloring and feel.The buttons are the best of any shirt I own -- beautiful feel, lustrous and great ease of use.It appears that Ledbury uses this button on its other shirts too.Shortened sleeve is impeccably done.Will need a perfect tie.Note there are NO collar stays!Light weight -- it will be cool to wear.Would like this in 6 colors! Enjoy!
by Gregory Redfearn
I love this shirt for more casual situations. I wear it untucked with shorts and top siders, and both tucked and untucked with chinos (sockless of course!). The collar helps it be a little "forward." Great addition.
by justin
The McDaniel Chambray has turned out to be a fantastic addition to my Ledbury collection. A versatile piece- I've worn it with navy chinos for a casual look, and a light grey suit and no tie for a slightly dressier look. Once again the team at Ledbury has made a great product.

Fight Night Champion Isn't a Knockout
It's 2011, and we live in a world of 3-D and motion controllers. That's what makes Fight Night Champion a disappointing game. The fifth Fight Night title for EA Sports Canada, it adds a shiny new exoskeleton to the previous version and marries brute-force gaming with a movie-like storyline. The rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches tale of fighter Andre Bishop is somewhat engaging and adds a much-needed twist to what has become a somewhat tired franchise. But it's still very much a 2-D, button-mashing game, stuck in the gaming world of 2009.
Punching controls are easier, the AI is smarter, fighters look, feel and fight more like their real-world counterparts and the graphics are simply stunning on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But what could be a more-intuitive way to punch than to, well, just punch? Yes, I know games like this are developed on two-year cycles, but how do you not see the Kinect and PS Move coming and bind yourself closely to those developers to bring the most-realistic fighting game to the market ahead of everyone else? The lack of support for any motion at all on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is a stunning omission. As lame as Sony's The Fight: Lights Out for the PS3 was in terms of realism, at least ColdWood Interactive gave motion controls the old college try. I'm left wondering why EA didn't even take a stab at it. While there will be no shortage of male buyers in the 18-34 range who are already hardcore gamers and Fight Night aficionados, this game has nothing for newbies and is unlikely to attract peripheral gamers or broaden the genre's demographic.
OK. Enough about what the game is not. Looking at what it is, it's a decent update to 2009's Fight Night Round 4. No longer do you have to memorize complex stick motions, only to find that the uppercut you wanted to throw was actually a hook. A single directional flick is all you need to throw a punch. Combinations don't give you calluses and scars. And good news for the boxing purists: The stupid haymakers are gone, supplanted by a power button, that when held down, amplifies the power of your regular punches. I will, however, grudgingly admit I already miss Muhammad Ali's insouciant shuffle, which featured in previous Fight Night titles. But to be completely honest, Ali actually fights more like Ali, and here, I give the developers credit. They've captured the boxers in more than just likeness, though the likenesses are stunning, down to being able to clearly read every tattoo on Manny Pacquaio's body. In these digital versions of professional pugilists, you truly start to see the mannerisms and fighting styles emerge.
As far as strategy goes, gone are the complicated damage bars and confusing options to fix damage between rounds. The graphics are so good that you no longer have to guess how bad the cut on your opponent's face is. You can see it growing, round by round, as you pick him apart. And, apart from lots of salty language and F-bombs, this game gets is mature rating for the great gouts of blood that spatter your shorts and rain around the ring as you or your opponent sustain damage. It felt realistic at first, but then conjured up images of Eric Idle's, cartoon-like bleeding biker character in "National Lampoon's European Vacation." (Here's the clip, it's not for the squeamish.)
Fight Night Champion's stable of 50-plus licensed boxers is a bit tired. There are also some shocking absences, the biggest of which is pound-for-pound great, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. If we're being asked to spend $56 on a game that's going to make jillions of dollars for EA Sports, we deserve a bigger collection of pro boxers, guys! Where the heck did Rocky Marciano go? The only heavyweight champion to retire undefeated, he's not in this version, but the two Klitschko brothers are. Eric "Butterbean" Esch is there, along with Tommy Morrison, but there's no sign of David Tua and his amazing hair. Some of the fighters included in the game are a bit surprising, not falling into what I'd call the "all-time great" category. Erislandy Lara, Tim Bradley and Victor Ortiz. Really?
Two words about the games legacy mode: Don't bother. It remains atrocious. You still fight a limited bunch of virtually nameless tomato cans on your way to title shots. It was ho-hum in Round 4 and is no better this time around. If the developers weren't going to spice it up, they should have simply left it out.
Also, is anyone else sick of Joe Tessitore and Teddy Atlas? Al Bernstein, Max Kellerman, John Sculley, Lennox Lewis, Sugar Ray Leonard, even Robert Duran jabbering away in staccato Panamanian Spanish would be better than these two. The patter is old, unoriginal and makes you feel as if you're playing the same version of the game as you did two years ago. EA Sports needs to mix things up.
EA is touting the Andre Bishop backstory as the game-changer this time around, and to some degree, it is. When you slide the disc into your console and load the game, you go right into the champion mode, with a choice of four skill levels. I loved the interactive story the first time through. You get movie-clip-like segments interspersed with real fights that you have to win in interesting ways (like fighting completely lefthanded after you bust your hand) and cuts to the ESPN studio for commentary on your career. The game-as-movie phenomenon has been cropping up increasingly over the past couple of years, and it's interesting to see it ported over to a fighting game. Boxing is full of corrupt promoters and salty language and blood and guts. Some boxers have gone to jail and come out to fight again and rebuild their careers. It's a bit clichéd, but highly plausible. The fusion of the tortured backstory and bloody boxing game actually makes Fight Night Champion feel less-sterile or clinical than previous versions and other boxing games. I'm just not sure how many more hours of fun or enjoyment it will add to the gaming experience and whether I'll want to go rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches again after I've done it a first time.
Fight Night Champion is now the best, most up-to-date fighting game on the market. But it faces few real challengers in this space. If you want to step into the ring for the first time and buy a boxing game, this is the one. And if you're already in love with the franchise, you won't pass this up. But it's underpowered and overpriced, more of a sparring partner than a real belt-wearing, title-holding game. I had to buy a retail version of the game here in Hong Kong. If I hadn't had to review it, I wouldn't have bought it for myself or a friend, though, and I don't recommend it as a value-for-money purchase or worthy upgrade. I know I'll play the game over the next two or three weeks until I become the Greatest of All Time and my fingers turn blue. But then, the case will go in the back of my old game drawer or go to charity, as I rapidly lose interest.
Nobody is better-funded and in a better position to exploit the potential of motion controllers than EA Sports, and no sport would be more fun to play with motion controllers than fighting. Here's hoping that after another two-year wait, in the next Fight Night title, that we get the motion-controlled or 3-D title we probably should have gotten this time.

Europe's Stocks to Watch: Fiat, Sacyr, Debenhams
Shares in Fiat have soared more than 15% Thursday after the Italian car maker announced late Wednesday that it would get full control of Chrysler Group in a $4.35 billion deal, ending a standoff that had clouded the future of both companies.
The deal, which helps clear the way for consolidation of the two auto makers, assumes a value for Chrysler at just over $10 billion, within the $9 billion to $12 billion valuation that banks underwriting a proposed initial public offering had been considering, but is now unlikely to proceed.
Analysts said the agreement is largely a win for Sergio Marchionne, the chief executive of both companies. The total price being paid for the 41.5% in Chrysler that Fiat didn't already own is lower than some analysts had predicted. And averting an IPO gives Mr. Marchionne the freedom he needs to further consolidate the companies' engineering and manufacturing operations.
The agreement also will allow him to spend more time on reworking Fiat's operations in Europe, where it has suffered from a long slump in sales.
As well as the total price paid being below market expectations, the deal will also end the uncertainty as to the end-game relationship between Fiat and Chrysler, Citigroup noted. However, probably the area that is likely to be taken most positively, the U.S. bank added, is Fiat's comment that it does not envisage the need for new equity capital, as this has been a key concern of the market.
Fiat is now "not cheap," said Bernstein, "but its future now looks more secure."
Spain's construction company Sacyr is also in the news Thursday after announcing that the massive project to expand the capacity of the Panama Canal will be halted unless the Panama government authorizes an extra payment of $1.6 billion to address cost overruns.
In a regulatory filing, Madrid-based Sacyr said the Grupo Unidos por el Canal consortium, of which Sacyr is the leading contractor, has officially notified Panama's authorities of its demand. This follows a year of conflict after GUPC was reportedly forced to use more expensive, higher-quality concrete in the works.
The GUPC consortium also includes Impregilo of Italy, Belgium's Jan De Nul and Panama's Constructora Urbana.
Shares in Sacyr have slumped 18% early Thursday. The project has been seen as a key addition to Sacyr's construction order book at a time when the company is being squeezed in Spain by a sharp contraction in the real-estate and construction sectors.
Elsewhere, shares in Debenhams climbed over 3.5% in early trade Thursday after the U.K.-based department store group announced the resignation of its chief financial officer.
Still, this represents a small rebound after the hefty 12% fall in its share price Tuesday when the profit warning was announced.
Simon Herrick is resigning from his role as chief financial officer with immediate effect and will leave the company on Feb. 7, Debenhams said, adding that a search for a replacement is underway. Director of Finance Neil Kennedy will assume the role of acting chief financial officer on an interim basis.
This comes two days after the group issued a profit warning following a poor Christmas trading period.
The company, which operates 240 stores in the U.K. and 28 other countries, said Tuesday that pretax profit for the first half of fiscal 2014 would be around £85 million ($140 million), compared with £114.7 million a year earlier.
And U.K.-based brokerage Numis Securities remains negative on the group, amid concerns that 2014 will mark the fourth year of consecutive earnings decline in Debenhams' U.K. business.
"Unsurprisingly, Debenhams noted the 'highly promotional run up to Christmas' and the 'extremely difficult environment'," said Numis. "While there is undoubtedly some truth in this, we believe that Debenhams' major issues are more company-specific."

Though the arrival of spring has been a highly-anticipated event for most in the Mid-Ohio Valley, Marietta City Schools Superintendent Harry Fleming has even more reason to celebrate after returning to his post in March after an accident last year led to a long recovery and absence.
It was the last days of October 2013 when Fleming was injured from a severe fall, in which time the district appointed Marietta Middle School Principal Will Hampton as acting superintendent.
Fleming, who has now served in the Marietta district for more than 30 total years, said he was happy to get back to work and pick up where he left off.
Article Photos
JACKIE RUNION The Marietta Times
From left, Marietta City Schools Superintendent Harry Fleming, Phillips Elementary Principal Joe Finley and Harmar Elementary School Principal Cheryl Cook discuss plans for the new school year. Fleming returned to work in March after an accident had him working from home for several months.
Staff say they are glad to have Fleming back, and administrators have said they are happy that his return followed a smooth period of operating the district in his absence.
"I'm glad to get back in and out of the house," said Fleming, who has been working from home since December, rotating time back in the office off and on before finally returning full-time in early March.
Fleming worked in the district for 28 years beginning in 1976, then spent seven years as superintendent of Belpre City Schools, eventually returning post-retirement to work as the superintendent in Marietta. He is now in his third consecutive year.
Fact Box
Superintendent Harry Fleming returns to work:
Early March: Fleming returned full-time as superintendent
October 2013-spring 2014: Marietta Middle School Principal Will Hampton served as acting superintendent.
Fleming has worked 31 total years for Marietta.
Fleming now in his third consecutive year as superintendent.
"Right now I'm just trying to work on next year, as it is coming up soon," he said. "We know of the retirees in the district and we've been working on securing replacements; all the usual things for the end of the year."
Fleming also came straight back to work on the days-to-hours transition, where Ohio schools will transition into a schedule based on a minimum requirement of hours.
"I've spent a lot of time since December on the telephone, emailing and trying to solve the problems of the district while at home recovering," Fleming said.
Still using a neck brace and unable to drive, Fleming said he has been relying on other administrators and family to make sure he gets everywhere he needs to be. He hopes to be fully recovered sometime in May.
Hampton served for about four months as acting superintendent until Fleming returned full-time, an appointment that administrators agreed was highly effective.
"(Hampton) kept stability in the system when we needed it most, and was good at communicating and always willing to take advice," said Don Atkins, a member of the board of education. "It made the transition much easier."
Hampton, who holds a license that allows him to serve as a superintendent, said he was grateful to have the experience.
"I'm glad he is back on his feet and but I'm also glad to be back in my building," he said. "One full-time job is enough."
Fleming and Hampton have been collaborating extensively throughout Fleming's absence and continue to work on business as a team.
"He has really allowed me to continue in projects and some of the things that were already rolling so that I can stay connected to what I started, rather than just walking away," Hampton said. "It's been an incredible opportunity to learn another level of education."
Hampton said though it was an immense responsibility, he thinks that the experience has given him a new perspective on how decisions are made, and knows it will make him a better administrator and would definitely make him a better teacher if he returned to the classroom.
"During his tenure, Harry has been a proponent of a strong administrative team," said Bill Lee, principal of Marietta High School. "It was the camaraderie that kept us together and keep us solidified throughout his absence."
The district, like many in the area, has been undergoing plenty of changes in regards to calamity days, new state testing, the Race to the Top initiative and new career-based programs, all that Fleming said he is just continuing to work on.
"We've got an outstanding team, many who were instrumental in keeping it all running," Fleming said. "Now I'm just getting back to business."

Swollen Thumbs, Big Bills and "Sexting": The Downside of Text Messaging
Text-messaging, it seems, has become the communication mode of choice among teenagers. That has opened the door to growing abuses.
This months' Consumer Reports magazine says carriers are charging way too much for text-messaging service. Consumers Union, which publishes the monthly magazine, has asked federal officials to investigate text-messaging rates, the article says.
There are other problems, too. Medical professionals have long warned about the dangers of swollen thumbs and repetitive strain injuries among teens who text too much. Too much texting is one of the main reasons schools are restricting cellphone use.
Also, many teens are using text-messaging to send inappropriate images of themselves or others, such as nude photos or videos, the Washington Post reported this week. School officials and police in Seattle, Scranton, Pa., and New York have intervened, disciplining students or confiscating cell phones, for what has been labelled "sexting" – using text messaging for sexual material.
All of this news led me to pause and consider how text messaging is used in our family. It has become the customary way my kids, ages 18 and 20, and I communicate when we're apart. After receiving some heart-stopping cell-phone bills, I tried to limit my teenage son's use of texting. But it has become so fundamental to teens' social lives that I soon threw up the white flag and bought the "unlimited texting" plan from our carrier. My son uses texting appropriately, but almost incessantly – so much so that my daughter and I kid him that he, like many teens, has forgotten how to actually talk on his cell phone.
Readers, how does your family use texting? Do you limit or oversee your children's use of text messaging?

Sunday Morning is the second of Four Sea Interludes, a suite from Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten. The visual interpretation of the piece takes off from a very simple composition - the edge of a building (looking upwards) and the seam it shares with the sky. Like a clock beginning to tick, the piece starts to develop rhythmically into a celebration of waves, boat masts and birds, increasingly interspersed with spikier and more aggressive shapes which progressively slow the pace down, forcing the various elements to conform.
Format: HD Animation, approx. 4 min.
Music by Benjamin Britten.
Commissioned for live performance by Miami's New World Symphony Orchestra, USA 2009.

What are working buttons/Functioning buttons?
This refers to the buttons on the sleeves of a jacket, coat or suit being constructed in such a way as to allow for the sleeve cuffs to open up and the sleeves to be folded up.
When a suit jacket or blazer has working sleeve buttons (functioning or actuating buttons on the sleeve), the wearer is able to undo the buttons and let the sleeve cuffs drape loosely or is able to fold the sleeves away from the hand.
This is a great functionality to have, especially on snug fit jackets and suits or when working in a wet environment and not wanting to wit the coat sleeves.
Actuating sleeve buttons were introduced by the medical profession back during the crimean wars when medical work was very messy and good suits were getting spoiled by the blood and gore that doctors had to work with.
Working or functioning buttons are created by hand, by embroidering or crocheting tight stitches (usually with linen or silk thread) over a knob or ring called a form.

Now that summer is here, you are probably deciding whether you're going to do summer school, where you're going to go on vacation, or what concerts you'll go to. Making summer plans then makes you think about where the money is going to come from. Whether you have a job already, or you have some free time and would like to make some cash on the side, I'm going to share with you a few ways I've made some quick, extra, easy money!
1. Pet & Baby Sitting
You're probably more comfortable with one over the other, but I personally enjoy doing both. Lately I have been doing a lot more pet sitting because it's a lot less time consuming. If you know a lot of people in your area, just start spreading the word of your interest to get started! If you don't know a lot of people nearby, you can join the free site, www.care.com. This allows you to set up a profile for both pet and baby sitting, and have people find you!
2. Sell Your Stuff
Several times a year, I do a major cleaning of my entire house. When I do this, I always find a lot of stuff that we just don't use or wear anymore. I've sold things like old iPods, broken iPhones, jewelry, and clothing. You won't get what you paid for it, but you'll get more out of it than it just sitting in your closet! Selling your stuff is easy. You can turn to a pawn shop, eBay, consignment shops, and craigslist! Just always make sure you're being safe with whatever outlet you choose.
3. Odd Jobs
Okay, so this one definitely isn't going to be for everyone, but just hear me out. I am not a person that is a huge fan of cleaning. However, I have a little more incentive when I'm being paid to do so. I started by cleaning up one day for the family I pet sit for, and then she asked if she could pay me to do so once a week! I made even more cash for a place I was already going to! Care.com also has job listings for cleaning and odd jobs, which could mean something as easy as going to get groceries for someone!
There are so many ways to make some extra cash so that you can enjoy your summer without have a 40+ hour a week job! Just be creative, and dedicated to what you do, and you'll be at your favorite music festival in no time! Who knows, you might even find out you have an interest for doing something you never knew about before.

Welcome to the perfect place to find your grim reaper costume, you're probably going to a fancy dress Halloween party or a fancy dress do at anytime of the Year and what better way to look scary that dressing as death himself?
Although Death has been personified in many different forms since the Angel of Death first visited Eve in The Garden of Eden (including as a woman with a poisonous tongue!), the Grim Reaper only became a universally recognised character when being used in animated propaganda films during the Second World War.
Since then, "he" has been personified as the Ghost of Christmas Future in remakes of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", as a character in Marvel Comic books, as an opponent in a dramatic chess game in the film "The Seventh Seal" and even made an appearance in "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows" (the story of Ignotus Peverell in case you were wondering).
Baby Don't Fear the Reaper
Anybody who has listened to the 1976 Blue Oyster Cult smash hit will also know that the song is actually about eternal love and not Death. The lyrics relate to love transcending the actual physical existence of the partners – a theme borrowed from many non-Western cultures, where the concept of death is viewed as a celebratory event as opposed to one to be dreaded.
Inasmuch as your personal beliefs may or may not lead you to welcome a visit from the Grim Reaper, there is no doubt that when somebody dressed in a Grim Reaper costume comes knocking on your door at Halloween, you automatically know what he's there for – and relieved it is just sweets. Likewise, Grim Reaper costumes go down really well at fancy dress parties throughout the year.
The Grim Reaper and Halloween
Both Harry Potter and the Grim Reaper are two of the most popular fancy dress costumes worn at Halloween. Both characters are instantly recognisable, but it is people who dress up in Grim Reaper costumes who look far scarier, and usually end up with more sweets when trick or treating – maybe as an insurance policy from nervous householders!
Although Grim Reaper costumes can be hired from your local fancy dress shop or bought online from Amazon, Grimreapercostume.co.uk shows you how to make a Grim Reaper costume economically and simply, and also the best way to accessorise it. We believe that the best Grim Reaper costumes are those which you personalise yourself. After all, you wouldn't want to get confused with the real thing!
The costumes of the grim reaper come in many shapes, sizes and of various quality, we have reviewed the best and make it easy for you to buy a grim reaper fancy dress outfit online which is a low cost yet excellent costume to be seen in.
The grim reaper has been around for years, not as a real person as far as we know but as a mythical character, in Celtic folklore he was known as Father Of Time or L'ankou, and the Romans called him Saturn meaning god of agriculture & the harvest.
The name "the grim reaper" was first used in the 15th century and is the name most of us are familiar with. The grim reaper is a skeleton dressed in a black mourning robe and carries a Scythe. The grim reaper goes by three names "Death", "The Grim Reaper" & some call him "The angel of Death".
The grim reaper makes a great Halloween costume because everyone knows who death is, and would be shocked to see a figure at the door in the dark that looks like the Grim reaper meaning their time has come!!
Buy a Grim Reaper Costume for your party today and you can rest assured no one will say "who have you come as?"

Clean Energy Program Suffers New Blow
A Massachusetts energy company that received a $43 million U.S. loan guarantee has filed for bankruptcy protection, in a new black eye for the Obama administration"s clean-energy program following the collapse of solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC two months ago.
Beacon Power Corp. used the U.S. backing to build a plant outside Albany, N.Y., designed to store power and help electric companies manage minute-by-minute movements in supply and demand. But the firm said it was operating at a loss and couldn"t raise more funds amid the political furor over Solyndra, whose bankruptcy filing could cost taxpayers more than $500 million.

The Lovely Bones
by Alice Sebold
The Broken Heart Necklace
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Days after Susie's murder, Samuel Heckler enters Lindsey's life in earnest. He gives her half a golden heart, and wears the other half on a cord around his neck. This seems like a nod to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, another story of murder in a 'perfect' neighborhood, by an insider. Fans will remember that James gives Laura Palmer just such a broken heart necklace, which really is a symbol of broken love.
In The Lovely Bones it's a symbol that Lindsey and Samuel are joined at the heart, but also of the hearts are broken by Susie's death. Samuel's gift shows Lindsey that while he wants her love, he knows her heart is broken, and he wants to help heal it. And, it's true, he proves utterly devoted to Lindsey, and their romance is a sweet balm against the many gruesome aspects of the novel.

NICE Lakefront Getaway.
August 31, 2011
This is a nice , quiet , Lake Onalaska Lakefront getaway. ! It is a Clean , Well Maintained Cabin with a narrow but great Lakefront facing screened in front porch. Bring your Mosquito Repellant for sure , as they come at you by the Hundreds after dark. The Lake Weeds and Algae there are very thick and ruin the 200 feet Closest to the Shore.... Swimming is not possible there... IMO. ... The Lakefront Property Owners all along there should join together to pay a Weed Harvester to clean it out at least Once per Summer. !! Gary , The Properties Owner explains things well , is a very helpful , friendly GREAT GUY. An Older Property , from the 1940's or the 1950.'s , and NICE and well maintained with UPdates like Low-E Insulated glass energy-efficient windows and front entrance door. VERY Nice Hiking ; Biking ; Snowmobile State Trail is 1.5 miles from this Cabin location. VERY Nice Red Pines Restaurant / Bar and Grill with a beautiful outside deck and a campfire ring is located 1 mile away. ! --- Had a GREAT Fish Fry there on Friday PM. Relaxed and now Refreshed , Dave H.

Musically speaking, Amy Winehouse's addictions did her in long ago.
We all waited around for a follow-up to her 2006 album, Back to Black. But as the years went by with no new records and a lot of cancelled concerts, I think we all knew where this story was going. Maybe two albums was all she had in her. I mean, what kind of songs would a well-adjusted clean-and-sober Amy Winehouse write anyway? I'd rather not speculate.
This is not to say that an artist needs to be drug-addled mess to make good music. I'm just saying that an artist like her — who knows how express genuine human emotion — is a rare and fleeting thing. Rare, but thankfully, not non-existent.
Enter the Shakes. An ocean of gratitude to Aquarium Drunkard for bringing my attention to this as-yet unsigned band from Athens, Alabama.
I know it's a little odd to draw comparisons between a solo artist and a band, but I first heard the Shakes right around the time I found out Amy Winehouse died and was struck by the similarities. They're both authentically soulful and they both sound like they've been around the block. The Shakes, however, are much more bluesy and hopefully a lot less self-destructive. Vocally, lead singer Brittany Howard bears a little more resemblance to Janis Joplin — another member of the infamous 27 Club. Let's just hope she's around longer than that.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Panama Lightweight & functional I chose this golf bag because it was inexpensive and lightweight - plus, I like the color (yes, a bit bright, but...). I decided I'd try a cart bag, because I seldom carry anymore. This is a great bag - it meets my needs. I don't know how durable it is, since I have only used it once so far. May 31, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hate3putts Great product Great product at a great price! It easily fills a big need in my golf equipment. May 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Betts0 Love the fact that's the bag is light weight! Bag is everything the ad said! I'm a no frills gal & it has plenty of pockets and am thrilled with it. Love the pink! Love the price! Now if I could only break 90! May 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Red This is a quality light weight bag! I have been looking for a nice light weight bag for several years. Most of the ones I have seen in the stores were either not good quality, too heavy, or just too expensive for my budget. This bag hit 5 stars in all those areas. It is very light weight, it is solid and well put together, and, with the sale I got at Dick's, it was the right price. I love the color, especially after years of carrying a black bag and with the fold-in side pockets, it will fit nicely in my car for vacation trips. It also has a nice little soft pocket for my phone, glasses, and any other smallish item that might scratch. Overall, I would highly recommend this product for lady golfers who are looking for a nice and stylish bag. April 11, 2016

Vandals desecrate Youghal statue – by Denise FitzGerald
1/8/2013 – One of Youghal's most famous landmarks, a statue dedicated to local cleric and 1798 martyr, Fr Peter O'Neill has been desecrated.Vandals recently painted the entire statue in a garish shade of purple and placed a yellow parking cone on its head.
Graffiti depicting the word 'Catsley' was also smeared at the base of the statue across the actual names of the martyrs as listed on the landmark. The incident apparently occurred between 1.30am and 7.30am, and the degradation was first discovered by a council worker who reported the incident to the Garda station in Youghal.
Responding immediately to the report, local Gardaí told The East Cork Journal that they found rubber gloves with traces of paint at the scene but nothing else that could give an indication of the perpetrators. An intensive search of the scene took place and the investigation is still ongoing. Gardaí in Youghal are very anxious to solve this crime and would be glad to hear from anyone who may have seen anything. Contact 024 92200 or the Garda Confidential Line.
Fr Peter O'Neill was the parish priest of Ballymacoda, County Cork who, at the age of 50 years, was transported to Australia having been accused of involvement in the death of an informer. He was ordered to be flogged with a cat o nine tails which had scraps of tin knotted into it.
The cleric was stripped and put on a triangle in the handball alley at Youghal. Six soldiers, two at a time, left and right handed men, flogged him until he had been given 275 lashes. Showing him the other bloody bodies hanging on the gallows, the officials threatened that they would hang him, cut off his head, and throw his body in the river if he did not reveal the names of the United Irishmen which he knew solely from the confessional. Fr O'Neill's failure to tell caused his transportation to Australia. Permission came from Ireland in November, 1802 for Fr O'Neill to return home to Ballymacoda, where he remained until he died at the age of 86 in 1835. The local GAA park is called after Fr O'Neill.
A statue was subsequently erected in his memory at Greenpark, Youghal. Made from limestone, and inscribed with the names of other martyrs of that time, it stands in the green area which is visited by families and day trippers to the seaside resort.
Advice sought on repair of vandalised statue – by Denise FitzGerald
15/8/2013 – Reports from Youghal this week indicate that it could take quite some time before the recently vandalised Fr. Peter O'Neill statue is returned to its former glory.
The Mayor of Youghal Sammy Revins told The East Cork Journal that "due to the nature of the stonework on the statue and its age, advice is being sought from experts on the best course of action.
"We intend to have the statue of Fr O'Neill repaired properly, and are willing to wait until we get expect advice" the Mayor added.
However, as the Town Council is not sitting for the month of August, it will certainly be September, or even October, before work can commence in Greenpark.
Councillor Michelle Hennessy also spoke with The East Cork Journal and slammed the vandals who carried out the desecration.
"The painting of the statue had to be done by three of more people, due to the height of the monument. The vandals also took their time, as the statue was not just splashed but every part of it was painted with great care, even the areas under the cuff of the coat" she said.
Cllr Hennessy went on to say that the Gardaí are actively involved in this investigation, and asked anyone with any information to contact the Youghal station on 024 92200.

When a movie isn't just a movie
Enter Owen: the kid who never seemed to like cartoons at all. It's only within the last year that he started really getting into Curious George and now The Cat in the Hat on PBS. So a cartoon movie just seemed out of the question because they can be a bit too long to hold his attention. Add the noise that a movie theater brings and I knew that we weren't going to be visiting one any time soon.
One Sunday we were flipping through the channels to find something to watch and "The Incredibles" movie was playing and I tuned in. Owen fell in love! The action of the characters was great--running around, chasing things, lots of crashes and several explosions and we had a boy that was laughing and cheering. Then at a friends' house, he discovered a book about "The Incredibles" that he wouldn't put down. I asked my friend about the book and she explained that it was a set of books about several Disney/Pixar movies. I hunted the set down online, knowing that Owen would probably like several of the books since another one in the set was "Cars" and we all know how much the boy loves his cars. :)
It turns out he loved all the books in the set--"Tangled", "Up", "Monsters, Inc", "Toy Story 3", "Wall-E". He has figured out that several of the books even have a movie and we've watched a couple of them with great success. He really likes "Toy Story 3" and I can't blame him--it's probably my favorite too. What's even more interesting is that he identifies the characters on other media too. We were at Target, looking through the book section and he kept trying to tell me something. He was frantically pointing and signing book and airplane. Of course I grabbed a book about a plane and he vehemently shook his head NO! I looked again and there was a book with Buzz Lightyear on it. So I asked if that was the one he wanted and got a resounding YES.
It took a little longer, but it's been great sharing the experience of watching a movie together. This definitely wasn't something he could do when he was 2 or 3 years old--his attention span just wasn't there. But now, especially when he's making all these connections to other things, he really enjoys sitting on the big comfy couch and sharing a bowl of popcorn with us. And I think we'll break out that old VHS tape of 101 Dalmatians this weekend......let the Disney takeover of our lives begin!

We're getting ready to break out Lion King. It came out when Angela was little. It was the first movie she saw in a theater. I think my others will finally enjoy it!ReplyDelete
This is SO exciting!!! Bear won't sit through a movie either and I have been holding onto all my Disney movies for the day when she can sit through them. She sat through 15 minutes of Frozen the other day. I cried tears of happiness. Isn't it great to see the progress our kids are making? :)ReplyDeleteReplies
It's good to see them doing at their own pace. When I first started hearing friends talk about taking their 2 or 3 year old to a movie, I was a bit panicked. Should I be doing that too?? But then I realized, who cares? If my kid doesn't like movie theaters or doesn't want to watch the current "it" movie, no big deal!Delete
Russell won't sit through a cartoon movie...But he will sit through The Man from Snowy River! hahaReplyDelete
That's awesome Owen is learning to enjoy so many different movies...The Toy Story movies are by far my favorite!
That's so exciting when they make connections with other things! Beth was the same way with her 'big books' as we called them. She still has many of the large, Disney books and they are basically identical to the movie. She would love to turn the pages and follow along. I'm smiling just thinking of all the fun you're going to have with Disney!ReplyDelete
Love! Ben is still not big enough to do a regular movie - although he could watch Signing Time or the Laurie Berkner Band for hours. It's very cool that Owen's making those connections! But I would be a wreck if we had to watch any of the Toy Story movies multiple times - they (especially the 3rd) make me all teary.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree about the Toy Story movies.......every time I say "I'm not going to cry" while watching TS 3, I always do at the end. There's something about Andy growing up that gets to me.Delete
There is definitely something special about being able to share YOUR love for something with your children... and something so disappointing when they don't love that something like you do. Hope you enjoy the Disney movie fun!ReplyDelete
This is great! I know it must be a very special moment for you both to share. I see many more movies in your future with that sweet little guy!ReplyDelete
The Little Mermaid was my favorite. Ben's up to about 30 - 45 minutes for sitting still in front of the TV. Unfortunately for him, he has to watch a lot of Colin's stuff.ReplyDelete
