As with others above and my complaint below seems MANY MANY people have had the same or similar experience. Customer service is crap rather non existent when it comes to getting a resolve on a mistake eDreams have made.
As others have pointed out eDreams is a third party and you cant rely on the advertised price being the price you pay. MORE LIKE eNIGHTMARE! My eDreams nightmare went like this.
I originally booked my tickets through eDreams at over $200 cheaper than other websites. They took my money from my debit card (where there were sufficient funds to pay for both mine and my partners tickets, plus some acccommodation I was booking etc). For reasons unknown (they said they suspected an error on their website) the transaction incurred a problem, so they reversed it however they did not release the funds back to my debit card immediately. When they went to debit my card again, there was not enough funds to cover the airline tickets which in total was over $2,000 so the transaction was declined.
My bank, seeing that there were funds taken twice, considered the transaction suspect and as such, put a stop on my debit card (effectively meaning I could not use my card at all until I spoke with the bank).
That resolved, by the time eDreams had released funds back to my account so that the transaction could be made, the tickets had gone up, but they quoted the increase in EUR dollars (approx $164 EUR) and I did not check the conversion.
When I looked at their website again, to check their current price on the tickets, they were still $50 cheaper (each) than other sites (in AU dollars) thinking that this current advertised price, listed on their website would be what I would be charged (and equivalent to the conversion of the EUR amount they quoted) I said go ahead. EDreams debited my card again however, they debited an amount that was over $200 more for each ticket than I had originally booked the tickets for.
I emailed with a complaint and was told to call their call centre (which is overseas) I called and was told to email a complaint this happened several times before I realised they were not going to do anything about the problem and not interested in providing customer service.
All in all, I paid more through eDreams than I would have through another website, because of their website gliche and the cost (in time and dollars) of all the emails and telephone calls to try to resolve the matter was not worth the time as they kept brushing me off. I would avoid them at all costs in future.

Sir Bruce Forsyth's Biography
Sir Bruce Forsyth has been involved in light entertainment for over sixty years.
Bruce Joseph Forsyth-Johnson (to give 'Brucie' his full name) was born on 22 February 1928 in Edmonton, London.
Bruce had been evacuated at the start of World War II but returned to London after just three days as he was so homesick. He started his stage career as 'Boy Bruce - The Mighty Atom' - as far back as 1942.
Bruce Forsyth's first television performance was Music Hall in 1954.
Forsyth's television highlights over the years include Sunday Night at the London Palladium, Bruce Forsyth's Big Night Out, and Bruce's Price is Right.
His most notable role, however, was as host of The Generation Game which he started in 1971 and completed seven series - with his catchphrases "nice to see you, to see you nice" and "didn't he do well?".
Bruce Forsyth had two stints on The Generation Game - one in the seventies and one in the nineties.
In 2007 it was announced that UKTV Gold were to transmit a new show The Generation Game: Then Again, hosted by Bruce Forsyth, which would combine archive footage from the Generation Game with new challenges.
Penny Forsyth, an ex-wife of Bruce Forsyth, told the BBC about how she was immediately attracted to him:
"I saw this name, Bruce Forsyth, and suddenly there were green flashing lights in front of my eyes and I knew this was the man I was going to marry."
Penny and Bruce became a singing and dancing double act, before Penny fell pregnant with the first of their three daughters.
One side-effect of the Generation Game was one of Bruce's marriages - to Anthea Redfern - although their marriage dissolved in 1982. After their divorce, Bruce married former Miss World, Wilnelia Merced.
Bruce Forsyth reprised his role as host of The Generation Game from 1990 to 1995.
His popularity in Strictly Come Dancing led to Bruce Forsyth winning his first National TV Awards nomination in 2004.
Bruce Forsyth was awarded the OBE in 1998 and the CBE in 2006.
In 2008, Bruce Forsyth received Bafta's highest accolade, the Academy Fellowship.
In 2010 the BBC announced that Bruce Forsyth would not host Strictly Come Dancing's Sunday results show, which would be hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman instead.
In January 2011 Bruce Forsyth was presented with a special recognition award at the National Television Awards.
In 2011, Bruce Forsyth was knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
In 2014, it was announced that after 11 series of Strictly Come Dancing, Sir Bruce Forsyth was stepping down as a presenter of the show, however he would continue to present the Strictly Christmas Special, and the Strictly Children in Need Special.

- How do you stop a polite conversation about politics, even with your nearest and dearest, descending into a slanging match?
The only failsafe answer of course is not to talk about politics at all.
- Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
- Mhairi Black said in her maiden speech in the House of Commons: "Tony Benn once said that in politics there are weathercocks and signposts. Weathercocks will spin in whatever direction the wind of public opinion may blow them, no matter what principle they have to compromise. And then there are signposts, which stand true and tall and principled. They point in one direction and they say, "This is the way to a better society and it is my job to convince you why." Tony Benn was right when he said that the only people worth remembering in politics are those who are signposts."
- I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
- "I am strongly feminist, and I'm interested in current affairs, and on an international level-it's important to realise what's going on in the rest of the world, and the importance of where we're from in how it shapes us and our views."
- In discussing School for Seduction, Kelly Brook told the BBC:
"Regardless of what hair colour you have, what you look like, what accent you have, what you do for a living even, it's all about how you feel, and about being comfortable in your own skin. The women in School For Seduction are not doing it for men, they're doing it for themselves."
- "I was always told by my Russian partners that I had to have a vodka, because it was like an anti-inflammatory so it made the muscles relax and calm."
- "My own experience has shown that you can survive after going through terrible times at home and I give my utmost support to those women and young people living with the threat of domestic abuse... Don't suffer in silence because help is out there."
- Steve Guttenberg told Metro:
"Typecasting is a good thing. It's good to be known for what you do. It's good Xerox is known for its copying machines and it's good Jim Carrey is known for comedy. That's the sign in front of the store. Unless you're lucky enough to be Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama."
- "The only exercise I get these days is walking behind the coffins of my friends who take exercise."
- "Isn't the Ego a wonderful thing?"
- The first rule of survival is learning to control your emotions.
- "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time - never. These allegations are false."
- "The maintenance of the tradition of fashion is in the nature of an act of faith. In a century which attempts to tear the heart out of every mystery, fashion guards its secret well, and is the best possible proof that there is still magic abroad."
- I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."
- "I'm quite urban. I don't like to be too far away from an espresso machine."
- "Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxi-cabs and cutting hair."
- "Power without principle is barren, but principle without power is futile. This is a party of government, and I will lead it as a party of government."
- "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown in to the sea".
- The Rough Guide to Rock has this quote from David Bowie:
"I once asked John Lennon what he thought of what I do. He said 'It's great, but it's just rock 'n' roll with lipstick on."
- "Vote Labour and you build castles in the air. Vote Conservative and you can live in them."
- 'I would much rather someone say that is a George Ezra song than be famous'
- The English like eccentrics. They just don't like them living next door
- "As an actor you have to communicate all the time. So when I get home I'd rather dig the garden or take the dog for a walk than, say, go out to lunch and start communicating again."
- "When I got to drama school there were all these people going 'Oh, my Dad used to watch Ken Loach films' and I would be thinking, who is Ken Loach?"
- From Tony Blair's speech to the TUC, September 1995:
"But what has come home to me more than anything else is the utter futility of Opposition. I did not join the Labour Party to protest. I joined it as a party of government and I will make sure that it is a party of government."
- Upon being given the freedom of Preston, Freddie Flintoff noted:
"That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated - what more could you want?"
- Alda appeared on Inside The Actor's Studio and said, "Listening is being able to be changed by the person."
- "Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't people try to understand the song of a bird? Why do people love the night, the flowers and everything around us without insisting on understanding them? But when it comes to a picture, people think they must "understand" it. If only they would realise that an artist creates because he must create, that he himself is only an insignificant fragment of the world and that no more attention should be paid to him than to many other things in the world which delight us although we cannot explain them.
"When we love a woman, it does not occur to us to take her measurements first. We love with our desire."
- On 20 March 2010, collecting a lifetime achievement award from the Bradford International Film Festival, John Hurt said that he continued to want to act:
"I can't see any other reason to be alive unless you're taking an active interest in your area of life.
"If life was to be just to stop and watch television - I couldn't contemplate that as being worthwhile at all."
- "There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success."
- "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."
- Asked by The Guardian whether The X Factor is having a negative influence on the music business, Steve Brookstein replied: "No, it is more having a negative effect on Christmas. Simon Cowell bought the rights to Christmas. From now on it's called X-mas."
- "I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country."
- Bogart described himself as: "Democrat in politics, Episcopalian by upbringing. dissenter by disposition."
- Without good time management the plan fails and you end up not getting anything done. You have to know what you want to do, how much time you've got to do it and then sit down and work out the best way to do it. It's all about sacrifice. Once you have the routine it's pretty easy to stick to it. As long as you take the time to plan how things are going to work it's all good. Without that planning you'll be in a mess.
- "A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read."
- "Once you get into your stride, the camera becomes like another person in the room. It's like being in a very small theatre where there is no getting away with anything because the audience is centimetres away from you."
- 'if you can soundtrack somebody's memory, that is a beautiful thing'
- There is enough means to feed the planet but two thirds of the world lives below the poverty line
- From an interview with Scott Davidson of Regeneration: "Take a project like Band Aid for instance. Many people worked very hard for Band Aid, and OK, it raised millions of pounds, but then more money was being taken off the Overseas Aid Budget by the Conservatives. Political action is the way of securing change. If you do not engage in political parties you are not actually engaging in political decisions. You may think you are, but you're not.
"It's a very easy line - and the press love it - that politicians are in it for themselves, all the parties are the same, etc. And then, of course, single issue politics appears to be pristine idealism, but a lot of key political decisions that dramatically affect these groups are taken by political parties.
"It is also the danger with some groups like the Green Party - they end up with policies which are just out to lunch and do not help the causes they think they are helping."
- Regrets and mistakes are the touchstone of spiritual growth.
- "I often suffer from the opposite of loneliness, which is; where I am with a bunch of people and I wish I was on my own."
- "I invented World Music. I was the first person to use Plasticine in a video"
- If you nod your head any longer I'm going to put you on the back seat of my bloody car.
- Hiroshima Mon Amour, Les Quatre cent coups, Les Amants were tremendously important events. These days, because of television and the incredible saturation of images, I'm not sure this would happen any more. Cinema has become - I don't want to say obsolete, but somewhat marginal. We live in a culture of the disposable. A film can be an event, be huge at the box office, win all kinds of awards, and then in a couple of years be pretty much forgotten.
- "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration."
- Lenny Bruce said of his own work: "All my humour is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover."
- Alfred Hitchcock once remarked:
"Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like a character, he just tears him up."
- Life's too short to make filo pastry.
- "I make films because if I don't make them then I don't have anything to distract me. My whole life I am constantly fighting all kinds of depression and terror and anxiety and I find that, like a mental patient in an institution, that if they keep the patient busy finger painting then they are more relaxed."
- When you want to be ranked number 1 in the world, when you want to be Olympic gold medallist and you want to make history you're really careful setting your goals along the way. You take small steps instead of having a goal that's so far out that it starts to seem unachievable."
- "My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop benevolence ... in a gentle way you can shake the world."
- "Human beings are brilliantly creative at finding ways to pass time in unconstructive ways."
- Dustin Hoffman told The Sunday Times: "I get up at 4.30 every morning. It's the best time in the world. You see the break of dawn, and you're on your own and I have my bachelorhood back. For those two hours every day, it's just me, coffee and the dogs."
- "Acting is a job like any other. It takes practice to be good at it. After that you learn your lines, concentrate on nothing else, get dressed and go home."
- "You'll like this, not a lot, but you'll like it." was Paul Daniels's catchphrase.
- "If Donald Trump is president of the United States, it will be the end of the world. And he's also the best thing to happen to the Democrats ever."
- "Try not to worry about the small things in life that go wrong. You are only on the planet once. Get the best out of it."
- "Giving young men what they want doesn't generally bring out the best in them. Success is almost guaranteed to mess you up more than failure."
- "If you had been at the Last Supper, you would have asked for ketchup."
- I think greed is very corrupting and one of the sad things is that greed is so unimaginative. Sometimes I see people spend fortunes on preposterous toys or daft experiences and think, "You could do so much more with that money, be more creative and feel so much better."
- I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves.
- On the share collapse (Oct 1987) Blair said:
" the City whizz-kids, with salaries only fractionally less than their greed, now seem not only morally dubious, but incompetent"
- Freud remarked in 1933 when there was a public burning of his books in Berlin: "What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books."
- Frank Zappa described rock journalists as "people, who can't write, interviewing people, who can't talk, for people, who can't read."
- Scammers are getting smarter and the scams are becoming more personal, which make them more believable.
- I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them
- "You learn your lessons from the mistakes you make, not the things you achieve."
- "The Sun once did 20 things you never knew about Angus Deayton – and I didn't know 16 of them ..."
- "The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous."
- In 2005, before the India v Pakistan test series, Zaheer Abbas advised his countrymen:
"Glue yourselves to the Indian pitches to the extent they have to call the police to budge you."
- "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit"
- "If you have the most beautiful castle with nobody you love inside, it is shit. That is why you must spend less money on decoration and more money on finding the person you love. And then, once you've found that, you must have a good bed: for making love. And a good kitchen table – also for making love, and for eating."
- Maurice Greene once said:
"If you want to be number one, you have to train like you're number two"
- Referring to the 'Beat' writers, Truman Capote remarked: "This isn't writing at all - it's typing."
- "It incrementally came to me that when I audition I'm not trying to get a job, but to give them something, my acting. The victory is not 'Did I beat that other guy out?' but 'Did I present that character as believably as I could?' That was the turning point."
- "I like to show that it's possible to be big and be fit. I have a healthy lifestyle. I don't smoke, don't drink and I eat well. You don't have to be skinny to take part in sport."
- "Celebrity is a lot like ice cream, you know, it melts and then you've got to live with yourself."
- Lisa Francesca Nand (Chessy to Talksport listeners) wrote an article for Radiojam, which quoted Tommy Boyd on the future of the talk radio format: "I wonder if we're going to let the boat sail without us. US talk radio is knocking music off FM stations now, and we are still inviting any guy who's written a book to wander on air and drone about it for half an hour."
- "I think the openness that might be necessary to be a good actor can be lethal in your real life."
- "I'm fond of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. They are kind of the John and Paul of the global development stage, in my opinion.
"But the point is, Lennon and McCartney changed my interior world - Blair and Brown can change the real world."
- Clearly, I don't think anybody in this city is shocked about what consenting adults do. As long as you don't involve children, animals or vegetables they leave people to get on and live their own life in their own way.
- Gerald Kaufman has crawled so far up the backside of NATO that only the soles of his feet are visible.
- Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.
- The lesson I've learned are you've always got to be proud of what you've done and enjoy what you're doing rather than fixate on what might be in the future.
- "You spend your life working on your craft - I started acting as a seven-year-old - and then, all of a sudden, you're an 'overnight success'."
- Beacham once said of Joan Collins:
"Joan Collins is like the old children's nursery rhyme: 'When she is good, she is very, very good. And when she is bad, she is horrid.' I can't remember how the whole of it goes, but it defines her perfectly."
- A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.
- In today's world, hospitality and love are our most formidable weapons against hatred and extremism.
- "We find ourselves in a market system which seems to have taken its rules of trade from Alice in Wonderland ... To a bystander like me, those who made £190m deliberately underselling the shares of HBOS, in spite of a very strong capital base, and drove it into the arms of Lloyds TSB, are clearly bank robbers and asset strippers."
- It's sink or swim, and you've most probably picked up by now that I don't do life jackets.
- "It's a small world but you wouldn't want to paint it"
- "I guess that when you get into your fifties you just have to keep reinventing yourself as an actor. They kind of don't know what to do with you. Thankfully, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren have shown the world that there is acting life after 50, although equally there still aren't all that many strong parts for women parts on television today, which is why doing theatre is so important to me."
- From Goodbye to Berlin: "I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking."
- John Banville told Mariella Frostrup on The Book Show:
"If you want to write noir fiction, Dublin in the 1950s is the place to set it ... all that cigarette smoke, all that fog, all that guilt, all that suppressed sexual longing ..."
- "I play my best in finals. That's why I'm Number 1, you know. There's no secret."
- "I like working on stage because there's something very immediate about it, that interaction with an audience where you immediately hear their reaction, or feel them, whether they're with you."
- Roger Federer In an interview with the Sunday Times after his defeat by Marat Safin in the semi-final at the Australian Open in 2005:
"...the more success you have the easier it is to deal with defeat. I didn't think too much about it even the next day. I woke up, the sun was shining. Sure, my foot was hurting, but there was nothing to worry about. I hadn't been robbed or attacked. Everyone I cared for was fine. It was not a question of blocking out the defeat, I just accepted having to live with the fact and, really, that's not too difficult."
- But I could not more write a romance than an epic poem. I could not sit seriously down to write a serious romance under any other motive than to save my life; and if it were indispensible for me to keep it up and never relax into laughing at myself or other people, I am sure I should be hung before I had finished the first chapter. No, I must keep to my own style and go on in my own way; and though I may never succeed again in that, I am convinced that I should totally fail in any other."
- "He would have to stand on a tanner to see over a thruppenny-bit"
- Regarding David Gest's marriage to Liza Minnelli:
"We were taking bets in our pew about how long it would last ... that [wedding] kiss wasn't a kiss, it was like sucking chrome off a Cadillac."

Integral Manifolds and Inertial Manifolds for Dissipative Partial Differential Equations (Applied Mathematical Sciences) (v. 70)
This work, the main results of which were announced in (CFNT), focuses on a new geometric explicit construction of inertial manifolds from integral manifolds generated by some initial dimensional surface. The method covers a large class of dissipative PDEs. The existence of a smooth integral manifold the closure of which in an inertial manifold M (i.E. containing X and uniformly exponentially attracting) requires a more detailed analysis of the geometric properties of the infinite dimensional flow. The method is explicity constructive, integrating forward in time and avoiding any fixed point theorems. The key geometric property upon which we base the construction of our integral inertial manifold M is a Spectral Blocking Property of the flow, which controls the evolution of the position of surface elements relative to the fixed reference frame associated to the linear principal part of the PDE.

Sounds Heard: Noah Creshevsky—The Four Seasons
Noah Creshevsky's expansive 2012 sample-based composition The Four Seasons, which forms the basis of his latest CD release on Tzadik, is hardly without precedent. For starters, there's Vivaldi, but also Haydn, Fanny Mendelssohn, Glazunov, John Cage, Wendy Carlos, Chen Yi, etc. However, it is one of the most meticulously crafted renderings of this much-traversed concept and is arguably the most elaborate of all of his musical creations thus far.

Okay I have a 5 seater car. It is a 2006 Ford Escape. Our son is still in a Evenflo booster seat, with the back, and we just purchased 2 Graco snugride 35 infant seats. My question is what order will you be putting your children in? At first I wanted to put my oldest behind the driver seat. That was until SO brought up 1 - our son helping in the back seat when either child is crying and 2 - if it would be difficult for me to place one infant seat in the middle. I tried the search but all of them seem to be about mini vans.

Distributed Content: The Evolution of the Paper Route
As a PR person, it's really important to keep up with the news of the day. In fact, being in the know is equally as important as all other facets of the role, almost on an as-it-happens basis. The truth is, with the frenetic pace of the day, keeping current with speed of breaking news while also being productive is a constant juggling act. As a news junkie, I was thrilled when news outlets took to Facebook and Twitter and began posting links to stories in the places I visit a few times a day anyhow.
This is the new era of news consumption. Gone are the days of the paper boy delivering the news to our door in the wee hours of the morning; instead, mobile has changed the way we consume news, a cycle that is 24/7 – no breaks. There is no such thing as the morning news or the evening news – news follows us via different mediums all day and all night. Twitter and Facebook have led the charge in recent years – according to recent Pew Research, news hounds are getting their fix on either Twitter or Facebook (63 percent respectively) up significantly from 2013 (52 percent/Twitter; 47 percent/Facebook).
Recently news consumption has evolved so it's delivered to where readers already are, versus having readers come to get the news. It's a huge shift known as "distributed content" that PR people need to understand.
How are social platforms adapting?
Everyone is getting in on the game, figuring out how best to entice publishers and content producers to get their news "into the stream" and in front of the huge mobile audiences. It all started with Facebook Instant Articles. Then came Apple News, an aggregation of the day's top stories designed to bring news stories to you; eliminating the need to have to go to a blog or the New York Times or BuzzFeed to get your news. Twitter has taken it to a new level with its launch of Moments, a new feature that allows users to flip through trending news, all nicely edited and aggregated by humans who provide users with a simple way to engage with current events. It's quick and dirty, not in-depth, and is great for steering readers toward the news they'd like to explore further. Similarly, Facebook's "Trending" feature gives users a look at what's happening now – serving up full-length news stories from major sources (think WSJ, NYT, etc.). The best part about Trending is that it's smart – showing news relative to popularity, geography, and interest. Then came Google AMP, designed to dramatically improve the performance of the mobile Web to deliver rich content instantly regardless of device.
For Millennials who think Facebook and Twitter are for their parents (I beg to differ…), super popular Snapchat has been in on this action for some time now, too. Snapchat's Discover offers Stories, just like our personal Snaps – but sponsored by major news outlets and delivered in brief editorial packages. Short and sweet. Just like our attention spans.
As the "on-demand" generation, this is about as on-demand as it gets.
Publishers get on board
The major shift taking place is that many major media outlets are no longer publishing exclusively to their own properties (which is crazy if you think about it). The Washington Post, Business Insider and The Huffington Post all publish to Facebook Instant Articles. CNN, Vox Media, TIME and Wired were among the first wave of publishers on Apple News, while U.S. News, New York Times and Buzzfeed got on board with Google AMP.
The proverbial paperboy is still delivering to your doorstep – only the doorstep is your computer or mobile device or tablet. And even then, the news is following you, not the other way around. Clearly this means media outlets have had to adapt the way they publish (and monetize) news if they want to remain competitive and relevant.
So what does this mean for PR? Smart PR people understand that securing media coverage with publications who are distributing their content into this new stream is the way to get vast amounts of more eyeballs on their stories. In parallel, there are also clever ways to feed our owned content into the stream via Apple News and LinkedIn Pulse.
Is this the end of conventional media output as we know it? Not quite. Publishers still have to maintain their sites both for readers and advertisers, but the pressure to dive into the evolved media stream is on, and publishers who stay on dry land will definitely be left behind.
And yes, you'll be able to see this blog post in your LinkedIn feed.

OSCARS: Best Actor Nominee Leonardo DiCaprio On Scorsese, 'Wolf Of Wall Street': "I Knew It Would Be Polarizing"
A Best Actor nomination is just one award-season reward this year for Leonardo DiCaprio, who not only stars in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street but produced the passion project alongside his mentor and five-time collaborator. The dark biopic based on ex-Wall Streeter Jordan Belfort's memoirs has sparked debate among audiences — and DiCaprio, speaking with Deadline after Wolf scored four more noms this morning (including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Jonah Hill), says that was his and Scorsese's goal from the start. "I knew that this film was going to be polarizing in some respect," he said. "We knew that Jordan's life was written as a cautionary tale but displayed the hedonistic, flagrant world of Wall Street at that time. We wanted for there to be a dialogue about this attitude — his is a very destructive attitude, and what some people don't get is that is ultimately not a cautionary tale but an indictment of this world."
Related: Martin Scorsese On 'Wolf Of Wall Street'
DiCaprio won the rights to Belfort's story in 2007 and began developing it with Scorsese, with whom he'd by then made Gangs Of New York, The Aviator, and The Departed. "I became obsessed with putting it up on screen, certainly after 2008," he said. "But what Marty does is he doesn't judge his characters. He ultimately puts these people onscreen as authentically as he possibly can and lets the audience extract what they can from it."
Related: 'Wolf Of Wall Street' Had Its Own Consigliere For R-Rating
Even in his fifth go-round with Scorsese, Wolf felt like a different beast for DiCaprio. "As an actor for me this endeavor was like what Marty did with King Of Comedy," DiCaprio said. "There's a certain level to acting that's very precise and there's one where you improvise and then you re-improvise that improvisation and you have to adapt to the surroundings, and this was one of them. Marty said, 'Plot is irrelevant to me — what's relevant is that we portray these people accurately, and that's going to be the story.' The nature of who these people are is going to be the narrative, and that's a wonderful concept. I haven't done much of that. It's not often you get the opportunity to do movies that are that loose and take that many chances."
This is the second time Scorsese has directed DiCaprio to an Oscar nomination following 2004's Aviator. Their first film together was 2002's Gangs Of New York ("He was the one director I just wanted to be able to work with once," DiCaprio recalled) and in the dozen-odd years since their relationship has become increasingly collaborative. By the time Wolf made it out of development after being bounced around at Warner Bros and eventually financed by newcomers Red Granite, DiCaprio and Scorsese's bond made it easier to make the tough creative decisions. "I'm just thankful that he saw that I had similar tastes and over time things have become more unspoken," said DiCaprio. "There were a lot of opportunities where we could have taken a traditional approach to this film. That would be, you know, cutting away to the victims, making a clear-cut enemy, having the characters be punished in a traditional manner… But we had to keep reaffirming in ourselves that this was a film that was going to take risks because wanted to tell the truth about the darker nature of who we all are in this film. That means two people who collaborate with one another need to keep reminding each other of that, and that's what he did with me and vice versa. We had plenty of opportunities to have this character be redemptive and we tried our best to avert from those paths."

After living in Belfort's skin for Wolf Of Wall Street, DiCaprio was keen to step away from the character's dark side. "The truth is that attitude is a very destructive one and I shook it off pretty quick, I've got to say. While you're making that movie you've got to be in that mindset but the second I left there it was like being able to take a bath," he said. "A lot of those sequences that people think are incredible to witness or watch are disgusting. You think about wanting to take a nice cleanse afterward."
Next up for DiCaprio? "I want to do some environmental work this year – I'll hopefully work on a documentary on the environment," he said. "Doing the last three films back to back took a lot out of me. The culmination of that was Wolf of Wall Street, which was an adrenaline rush from beginning to end and you can see the energy that went into it onscreen from everybody. I was so passionate about just making this happen and it took a long time."

Polarizing? How about hateful?
How about tedious, boring and over done? Quite a few walkouts in my showing, pretty sure it wasn't because they were bored, rather they just had a better use of three-hours.
…er, pretty the walk outs weren't because they were offended, rather they were bored.
calling it "hateful" = polarizing.
The film portrayed the Wall Street World exactly as it was and in some cases still is. What it didn't grab is how much of that mentality had already permeated the offices in Hollywood for decades as well.
Wolf of Wall Street is one of the most exciting films of last year and Leonardo dicaprip gives the best performance of the year– that country club scene alone is superb acting. He should win.
This is a PR master class. From 'polarizing' to 'cautionary tale' to 'not a cautionary tale but an indictment of this world.' Tap dance all you like, but this movie isn't that. DiCaprio is a gifted actor, but in this case, he didn't use his power for good. He used it to glorify greedy, misogynistic criminals of the 1% who caused ongoing global tragedy. And that's 'entertainment'?
Doesn't it seem sadly ironic that they'll now spend millions more to promote it and justify it and go for Oscar gold?
When you say "glorify", do you mean that you wanted to be this person after the movie? Is Jordan Belfort your new hero? No? Then I think the movie did its job. It got you to think about the world where this stuff does, in fact, exist. Does that make you angry? Great! Me too! Maybe you should turn your vitriol to that.
Sounds like you're unaware DiCaprio's Belfort has become a cult hero to many bankers and traders in this country and all over Europe, who are renting venues for private screenings and even dressing up like DiCaprio. When DiCaprio researched the role he found that in the same way, many bankers idolize Michael Douglas's character (Gordon Gekko) in the film Wall Street, and it was the reason they got into the business – to be like Gekko. Now the real Jordan Belfort is making big bucks as a motivational speaker and has big name corporate clients. And he's pitching to reality TV.
The moral of this story: crime pays. And a lot of bankers have the self-awareness and morality of a saltine cracker.
But hey, now we know you can cause financial ruin to thousands, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, and a big star will buy your movie rights, make an Oscar-nominated film and fuel your way back to the "top."
Will add that we're talking about the financial corporations renting these venues for their enthused bankers, traders, lawyers, accountants, etc to see the film, with dressing up sometimes being part of the 'fun.' I doubt the countless thousands of people and businesses whose lives were shattered by this man and his ilk consider this entertainment, much less idolize its lead character.
I don't know what movie you saw. In the one I saw Jordan Belfort looks like an ridiculous pompous egocentric criminal. He was not portrayed like a good guy. It seems like you haven't even seen the movie, or don't know what glorifying means.
Sorry but totally disagree with you. Imho this movie was a masterpiece on every level possible. It did not glorify Wall Street greed and avarice. The utter opposite in fact. Did you leave the theatre (if you did watch the movie) and admire and think highly of the main characters? WHOM did you walk out of the theatre and think highly of? WHOM did you admire? WHOM gave you hope???? Yup, it was the principled honorable FBI agent who could not/would not be bought out. That was the last scene the audience were left with and certainly not by accident, and it was masterful. What about the yacht confrontation scene between Di Caprio character and his nemesis, the same FBI agent? This movie was such a hands down masterful tour de force of production that it makes me wonder if there is another, maybe more political reason, for its negative reviews. Is it possible that wall street greed and avarice is actually depicted in such a bone-chillingly raw, natural, brutal, and unvarnished way that it was too much for the powers that be in the industry, and they are doing all they can to undermine and sabotage its influence and impact? It deserves the top prize anywhere, if these hollywood prizes had any untarnished legitimacy left them, which they absolutely don't.
Amazing movie, incredible actor. Hope he gets recognized by the Academy for his efforts- he's long overdue for a statue, IMO.
This film hilariously (and thus successfully) lampoons the outrageous & repulsive greedfest of the past 30 years.
Kudos to Mr. DiCaprio and Mr. Scorsese for their achievement. The truth is not always pretty, but it can be pretty damn funny.
The Emperor's ass-naked, folks. The Great Scorcese hasn't made a great Scorcese film since Good Fellas. Wolf of Wall Street is self-indulgent, 45 minutes too long and boring as hell. To me, it sticks out from the other Best Picture noms because it's the only one worse than American Hustle, which is a convoluted mess. The story keeps going sideways and the over-acting is rampant. David O. Russell hasn't made a truly great film since Flirting With Disaster. Now don't go harping about Silver Linings Playbook, which was a good movie, not great. The third act was more MOW that wow. That Wolf and AH are getting so much love is ridiculous. Great directors make crappy movies, too.
Bottomline, if Leonardo wins the Oscar as well, it will be a clean sweep of the most prestigious movie awards of the year. Heading towards $100 million in box office ticket sales (domestic only), his status as an amazing actor in a sensational film has already been established by moviegoers. Awards season 2014 is vindication and redemption for all the vitriol wrongfully leveled against him over the years. I fully expect we will see him break down in tears when they hand him the Oscar. Remember all the stellar performances over the years where his castmates and films received nods/awards and he got nothing; not even a mention: Shutter Island, Titanic, etc. Yeah, when he gets the Oscar, it will be a watershed moment for him and the audience.
Could not agree more — he has been passed over because they had to give it to Jamie Foxx and forrest whitaker. He is a part of best picture winners Titanic and the departed. But aside from that, it is really the best performance of the year.
DiCaprio is in my opinion the finest actor in Hollywood. His performance as Danny Archer in Blood Diamond was incredable and unrewarded. If he does not win the Oscar for Wolf it will be a travesty….Allan
The Wolf Of Wall Street For Dummies by Dino Hollywood
"The most fundamental mistake you can make with any piece of fiction is to confuse the content with the subject. The content is what is in a movie. The subject is what the movie is about. Word counters are as offended by a Martin Scorsese picture as by a brainless violent action picture, because they see the same elements in both. But the brainless picture is simply a form of exhibitionism, in which the director is showing you disgusting things on the screen. And the Scorsese picture might be an attempt to deal seriously with guilt and sin, with evil and the possibility of redemption. If you cannot tell one from the other, then you owe it to yourself to learn; life is short, and no fun if you spend it disowning your own intelligence." – Roger Ebert
This far into the evolution of the cinematic form, I shouldn't have to step forward to spell things out in this manner but a random sampling of the critical and public reaction to a recent feature film release reveals that yet again, some of us have been flummoxed by a genius that extends too beyond our collective scope to grasp. This concerns the reception of an artfully antagonistic work of allegorical avarice and the once absent chapter in Martin Scorsese's vast, historical, American criminal chronology which begins in the late 1840's with Gangs Of New York, continues through the 1920's with Boardwalk Empire, and up until now had been annotated for expansion from the late 1980's to mid-1990's somewhere between Henry Hill ordering egg noodles and ketchup and Sam "Ace" Rothstein bemoaning the pyramids obstructing his pining view of a paradise lost. The picture in question is entitled The Wolf Of Wall Street and only if you have seen it should you feel free to pass go as I do not wish the ensuing tirade to taint anyone's initial reaction or reading of what I consider a visual masterwork.
The Wolf Of Wall Street is not an indictment of Jordan Belfort or our financial crisis but of us, and this, I contend, is what turns our protective and critical instincts against it. The film does not moralize and due to its refusal to judge its subject, many reviewers have expressed feeling cheated. Now I was not around for the initial critical reception of Raging Bull, but archival notices indicating any such qualms with that masterpiece's resistance to deny Jake LaMotta his humanity are either fewer and father between or have since been shamed into retraction. It is only when Scorsese's fun house mirror reflects our own impotence as the impetus propelling us to flail in the wake of bullshitters who project boatloads of self-confidence that the lap-dogs begin paddling back toward their laptops to type out an "SOS". "How dare a filmmaker be so irresponsible as to give us a front row seat to this capitalistic gang-fuck but fail to execute the proper sentence on its perpetrators so we can leave the theater feeling satisfied or superior?" seems to be the general consensus. Nevertheless, to lash out now is laughable when the film's core conceit is confronting us with the same passive part of our nature that calls us to line up in solidarity for the vicarious thrills of a Hollywood blockbuster but stand down or scoff when it comes to something like the Occupy movement.
Somewhere along the way it has become acceptable for the rabid uninformed to bark without shame, while film criticism sidesteps its responsibility to what has actually made it to screen. The grammar of a given film is seldom if ever contemplated, freeing up space for more plot synopsis, vague conjecture and exclamation points!!! The conversation has devolved to such an extent, that even those with no basic understanding of the criteria with which we process a great film, feel province to pile shame on its creators. The Wolf Of Wall Street's charged and timely subject matter seems to have imbued even its subject's real life victims and their supporters with an indefensible sense that our prospective pity is credential enough for them to comment on art. Thus, a smattering of "scathing" open letters have been written c/o Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio since the opening of perhaps their boldest and most accomplished collaboration to date. To nobody's surprise, not one of these misguided missives makes a single salient point concerning what has been committed to celluloid. This is what occurs when liberal sensibilities are confused for a discipline or a craft and when film is confused with a court of law.
Mr. Scorsese is a master of the moving image whose work speaks in eloquent volumes and entirely for itself but clearly in a language many filmgoers including "critics" no longer comprehend. The language I refer to is cinema and Scorsese's vocabulary sagely draws no distinction between protagonist and antagonist. In his seemingly endless canon of classics there is no traditional "hero" or "villain" to speak of. Outside forces only exist as symbolic extensions of the inner inequities we all fear facing. In this respect, The Wolf Of Wall Street is exemplary of its heritage and Jordan Belfort's very introduction wholly epitomizes it. The distance he so impetuously puts between himself and us "the little people" by making sure we know that he's the film's protagonist and not the Dwarf he's just tossed, says everything. But it is two precision-calibrated freeze frames that do the real heavy lifting. The amount of op-ed real estate devoted to whether literal Dwarf-tossing took place in the Stratton Oakmont office is embarrassing. If visual metaphor is that taxing, Terrence Winter's exactingly crass metonymy allows Jordan to interpret for us as he openly scoffs at an FBI agent's unassuming assertion with his revealing retort, "Me, the little-man!?" If you are indeed visually illiterate, I will hereby address you directly as I further dissect a sampling of the optical allegory implicit in the picture and how it symbolically relates to the protagonist/antagonist dichotomy.
For a film focusing on one man's financial ascent, which uses stairs metaphorically, I wonder if you found it at all curious, that the man is never shown climbing upward; he is only shown descending or having already arrived. In following Jordan Belfort's "climb" to greater financial heights if you didn't intellectually register the number of times he physically moved down a tier or simply manifested in a higher tax bracket, you felt it. Sorry, but you didn't have a choice. It's not a plot point or a line of dialogue it's a visual motif. Your brain connects subliminal dots whether you can articulate it or not. In tracing Jordan's momentum, the single notable exception utilizes a spiral staircase shown from a disorienting, Daliesque perspective-tunnel so that as he moves up his downward trajectory remains in tact. All of this culminates in the coup de grâce of sight gags where in a Quaalude-induced semi-coma, we assume Jordan's POV of the slightest flight of downward steps. To both him and us, the low, curbed angle processes a staircase so abnormally elongated it appears to ascend.
The idea of lowering oneself to new material heights is not only confined to a stairs but to crashing helicopters, planes and eventually boats. You may recall the private copter "landing" on the estate to reveal our drooling "hero", but with the help of a judicious cut, he's dapper and back on top (of a staircase), maintaining the sale of his own myth. But the crucial thing that the odd chronology has spared us witness is the next beat where Jordan actually works to gain control over his faculties and fails miserably, falling in the pool. Not only does this suggest that there is always further to fall but that the character's real struggle is purposely being hidden from our view. Redacted. This is the same approach Mr. Scorsese took in his 1964 student short It's Not Just You, Murray!, another deliriously sad essay of denial that I defy detractors to see as "glorification". In fact, exactly like Jordan, Murray starts out in total control of his picture's direction going so far as to pan the camera upwards with own hand but the more forcefully he sells us, the more he is undermined by his own rapidly unraveling psychology made manifest through loaded imagery.
Have you forgotten that the first image in the film is the icon of a lion and that the last image is of lambs? Neither animal is literal as the first is unleashed on the unnatural office environment via composite by Madison Ave. ad-makers and the last is an audience not unlike us; "sheep" secluded into being sold, jaws agape, looking to the king of a capitalistic jungle-gym for insight into how to steal our classmate's lunch money. And while his roar remains, the king in question has long since (in the eyes of those of us paying attention) been stripped of his power to project anything save for his own superiority complex. Can you call to mind the opening reel and the ease with which our "protagonist" changes the color of the very sports car that our "antagonist" ends up demolishing? At first blush, Mr. Belfort's word is as good as gold, all he need do is say it and it becomes so. Now what about in the aftermath of his rescue, when an airplane explodes mid-air and the wet and shivering "wolf" wonders if we've even seen it. In the end, the onus is on us to confirm or deny this once confident man's version of events; we can embrace, reject or even repress the very existence of his worldview. But at least we now understand the cost of doing so.
The Wolf Of Wall Street follows the struggle of a repressed conscience, a theme Scorsese has connected with water in the past, most rigorously in both Cape Fear and Shutter Island. In each of those films, water holds the power to haunt, refracting a guilt-ridden protagonist's psyche into a karmic monster. In Raging Bull, water is symbolically associated with Jake LaMotta's second wife Vickie, a young blonde who's angelic allure and intangible power to heal is revealed as her husband's shallow objectification, obscuring her true nature as a living, breathing woman. In Jordan Belfort's case, both uses of the water metaphor are married, haunting him by foiling his grandest plans and mocking his inability to have a lasting or realistic relationship with anyone of the opposite sex. This connection extends intrinsically and lives through performance in how comically disproportionate DiCaprio distends Jordan's reaction to a glass of water when wielded as a weapon by his second wife Naomi, another unknowable and archetypically angelic blonde. Much in the same way Jordan handles the women in his life, he continually attempts to master water by throwing money at it (figuratively as well as literally) but only ends up sinking his yacht and by extension its namesake, his wife. And here the link is made inextricable.
I wonder if you thought it accidental that when Jordan and the Swiss banker first meet, they are identically framed from mirrored angles with the banker's back to an office aquarium and Jordan's back to the ocean? Did you figure the fixed aquatic framing of Jordan eyeing the banker's exotic fish adoringly for random b-roll? What about his shit-eating admiration for Donnie's swallowing of the gold fish? What about his exasperation at his colleagues for their lack of familiarity with Moby Dick? What about his crystalline point of view of the cannonball pool splash that drapes Naomi like some kind of mermaid when first they meet or the distance his flat, wakeless pool intimates when he reveals his ankle bracelet to Donnie as his wife paces, dry-docked in the background? Is it by coincidence that the Swiss banker ends up with an interchangeable, objectified blonde who is shown giving herself over to him, not only freely but in bed, the very same setting in which we first met Jordan's wife and last saw her submit to being taken against her will? Does it even need to be mentioned that Naomi's bedroom introduction occurs in a God's eye view, a shot Scorsese practically has a patent on and is almost always associated with retribution?
Disabuse yourselves of any notion of the haphazard. None of this is coincidence. These decisions are not arbitrary. They are the considered associations of a deeper mind and heart than your own, meditating in close collaboration with an unparalleled phalanx of consummate craftsmen. And yes, even the appearance of Steve Urkel in a hot air balloon is no accident. Never mind that the scene in question concerns an average working man's fear of heights. Never mind that Urkel says, "One pull for up. Two for down!" suggesting that when you're full of hot air it takes less effort to rise than fall. All you really need to know is that the show is called "Family Matters".
I suggest that the next time you're in search of an After-School Special with Scorsese-style trimmings but none of the associated psychological heft or symbolic anthropology, watch American Hustle.

here are a few unwanted behaviours or missing features,
I am using google chrome (latest beta) and WP3.0-beta2
1) you are not able to edit the description of a field once it was created.
2) When inserting for the first time values for select boxes, and probably other elements, While it´s nice to have the "click here to add a comma separated list of values... (hit enter to save)" message explaining how it works, I dont think it should be there in the input box when you click on it,.. as I have to select everything and hit delete.
3) This is not a bug: when choosing a "field name" I chose something_like_this, i think it should be clear that this will be converted, or maybe set up a title box. i know it is one more field, but it was not clear to me that field name will becmoe title, and the actual field name will be converted from this field. i thoght Description was the TITLE of the field.
That´s it for now, i will try to contribute with more ideas as i get used to this plugin

Could not say enough how much I liked this Dr.

my daughter had trouble with her eyes forsix mounts she finally made a appt with Dr. Matt and had carrats removed ,i would recomend anyone that would listen to your office.and he is still looking after her for a minor problem.
Just "Love" Dr Gigengack, After many appointments and surgeries, never disappointed with his care. Treats you like family, great interpersonal skills and always professional. Can't imagine a better Doctor and I have seen many.
Dr. Giegengack is very friendly and down-to-earth, compared to some other specialists at Wake Forest. When I was having some problems getting a date set for an operation (the scheduling assistants wouldn't/couldn't commit), I wrote him via MyWakeHealth and he immediately took care of it. I know he is extremely busy and so this really meant a lot. I would recommend him to anyone.

That One Time Nicki Minaj Stole Our Bunny Costume for the BET Awards [PHOTO]

Nicki Minaj performed at the BET Awards this past Sunday with a very familiar looking bunny on stage with her...
Nicki Minaj is being sued by her former wig dude. We know, that rhymes.
Nicki Minaj stars in the upcoming Cameron Diaz chick flick 'The Other Woman,' and while she cycles through a pair of Minajian wig changes in the two-minute trailer, you don't feel like you are watching the rap vixen having a cameo in a movie.
Lorde has already dissed Selena Gomez and David Guetta -- and kind of dissed Taylor Swift -- so next up for some shade? Nicki Minaj and Drake!
Considering Twitter is the easiest medium for which celebs to communicate with fans, the press and one another, it's no surprise that a lot of famous folk are sort of addicted to it. So much so that when they leave, they come right back.
Twerking is the trend of 2013 and while it was popularized by Miley Cyrus in the mainstream, rap vixen Nicki Minaj has been twerking all along. The diva starred in a fake infomercial for the extreme home twerk-out video when she visited Ellen DeGeneres' namesake show. She also denied those pesky Zac Efron romance rumors in a couple of deleted tweets.
You've got to hand it to Nicki Minaj -- she certainly knows how to make an entrance.
For her appearance Wednesday (Sept. 25) on 'Ellen,' the rapper wore tight leather pants and a short black jacket -- oh, did we mention that the jacket was the only thing she was wearing on top...
Bad news for Nicki Minaj. The onetime 'American Idol' judge is being sued for allegedly stealing one of her biggest songs to date -- 'Starships.'
If the sight of female rapper Nicki Minaj accidentally busting out of her top during her various wardrobe malfunctions wasn't enough, now she's purposefully sharing her breasts.
No worries, though. She covers up the parts that need to be censored with her hair, like some sort of hip-hop mermaid.
In a new radio interview, Nicki Minaj finally got around to addressing DJ Khaled, who recently took to MTV -- big honking ring in hand -- to propose to Minaj. And her response to the whole thing didn't include that rumored restraining order.
After DJ Khaled proposed to Nicki Minaj in a somewhat creepy MTV video, the hip-hop world waited with bated breath for the Harajuku Barbie to respond ... and rumor has it that she did, in a big way.
Unfortunately for Khaled, it was reportedly with a big fat no -- and a big fat restraining order. Yikes!
Nicki Minaj may be a lot of things, but shy isn't one of them. The 'I Am Your Leader' MC showed her stuff on her new Instagram account -- and boy, did she show a lot of her stuff.

The End Of National Models In Employment Relations?
The erosion of a number of national systems of employment relations, and the evidence from large scale workplace surveys has brought attention to the considerable diversity of employment systems within major economies. This paper applies the theory of evolutionary games to explain the diffusion of different employment systems within national economies, and how they interact with established sectoral and national level institutions. This also helps to explain potential tipping points in their expansion and retreat. Evidence to support the argument is taken from the British and French workplace employment relations surveys and the European Working Conditions Survey.

I bought two of them. Both cd-rom were not readable. Finally got the driver. Both adapters can work in short range and seemed very sensitive to other wifi devices. I have 5 computers, two phones and a repeater doing wifi in home so I know the difference between them. Over all, if you intend to use it in short range without too many near by devices, it will just be doing fine. For the price, I cannot expect too much.
