Why study at Warwick?
A view from our academics
What will I learn?
A great strength of German courses at Warwick is the intensive engagement with all aspects of German society. This degree is distinctive because of the leading national and international reputations of both departments, the strong roots of classical sociology in German social thought and existing intellectual overlaps in research and teaching between staff in the two departments, especially in the fields of cultural studies and cultural theory, social history, critical social theory, construction of gender, nation and race. You will spend equal time studying the two subjects.
Germany has always been at the heart of the European intellectual tradition and is now the driving force of its economy and the EU. Our modules reflect the range and diversity of Germany's culture, history and society. Intensive language work from advanced or beginner level opens up the richness of German language and cultural life, enabling you to graduate as a highly qualified linguist with intercultural skills and a deep understanding of key issues and developments in Germany's past and present.
Core modules that focus on aspects of German culture, society, literature, film and history in your first year feed into a range of themed options in the following year. Your third year is spent abroad, either as a language assistant, or working or studying at one of our partner universities (including Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Dresden and many more). We hold a residential course in Germany, open to all of our students on their year abroad. In the final year, we offer research-led modules taught by experts in their field and supported by the wealth of material in our Transnational Resources Centre.
For detailed information please visit the course page.
How will I be taught?
You will have around 12 hours of contact time per week. We employ a variety of teaching styles, including: lectures, often to the whole year group; seminars of about 15 students, in which the emphasis is on student participation; and written, spoken and lab-based language classes in small groups. You will spend the rest of your time studying independently, preparing for classes, reading the primary texts, writing essays and working on your language skills.
How will I be assessed?
We will track your progress through language assignments, essays, presentations, portfolio submissions and
examinations (written and oral). Throughout your course you will receive detailed, personalised feedback to help you to improve your skills.
What opportunities are there to study abroad?
You will spend the third year of your course abroad. We offer placements at carefully chosen partner institutions through the University's study abroad scheme or through independent partnerships. It is also possible to work for the British Council as an English language assistant, or to set up an independent work placement.

I'm a real geek when it comes to my hobbies and interests. I like Dungeons and Dragons (along with many other roleplaying games), Video Games, Comic Books, Board Games (I've got a really nice collection), cartoons, I love a little bit of everything. I even run a popular podcast based around a video game I'm currently into called League of Legends. They're the things I'm passionate about in life, and a large part of my identity is based around it. I also enjoy going to see new places, and seeing new sights. Days out around the town, visiting museums, going bowling, or a night at the movies with friends also are fun outings. It doesn't matter what you're doing, everything is always more fun with friends.
Movies: (In no particular order) Lord of the Rings, The Incredibles (as well as anything else pixar has done), Star Wars (the first ones), Indiana Jones (not the new one), Catch Me if You Can, Pirates of the Carribean (the first one), Stranger than Fiction, The Mummy, Sideways, Sin City, Twelve Angry Men, The Blues Brothers, The Iron Giant, The Dark Knight, the Matrix, Princess Mononoke (along with most Miyazaki films), The Avengers, Rent (guilty pleasure), Ghostbusters, The Thing, Kung Fu Hustle, Sandlot, Dark City, Memento, Diehard, Coraline, Beetlejuice, American Splendor, and Little Shop of Horrors, just to name a few. I consider myself a growing movie lover/fan/critic, and I tend to like anything that's of good quality, or can at the very least appreciate it. I also like really BAD movies too, as I think they can be hilarious to watch and great to make fun of, MST3K style.
Music: My musical tastes are a tad weird. I have no favorite artists, I just like certain songs, I can't say why. I hate rap, and have a slight dislike for hiphop and country. If I had to pick, my Ipod seems to indicate that love Disney music and showtunes, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Food: Oh don't make me pick, lots of things taste good. If I had to choose some favorites though, I'd go with Watermelon, Lasanga, cheesecake, baby-back ribs, and bananas. One thing thing I absolutely won't touch though is chocolate (yeah, I know, I'm a freak for this.)

Israel's Air Force to Increases its Operational Capabilities by 400%
The Israeli Air Force chief stated last week that the IDF's offensive capabilities will quadruple by the end of 2014. In a single day, Israeli planes will be able to strike thousands of terror targets and expand the IDF's achievements during extended operations.
Major General Amir Eshel, Commander of the Israel Air Force, spoke last week at the Tenth Annual Conference for National Security on the contribution of air power to Israel's strategic capabilities. Maj. Gen. Eshel discussed the air force's attack and defensive capabilities during times of war and routine operations.
"I believe our capabilities are only second to the United States, from both an offensive and defensive standpoint," the IAF commander said, referring to a significant leap in capabilities over the past two years. He based his assessment on an evaluation of IDF abilities and conversations with officials from foreign militaries.
"We have an unprecedented offensive capability, which allows us to accurately strike thousands of targets in one day. We have doubled our abilities twice in the past two years. By the end of 2014, we will see an improvement of 400% to our offensive capabilities relative to the recent past, as a result of a long improvement process."
To illustrate Israel's advancements, the IAF Commander compared the air force's new efficacy to other achievements in recent years. "The air force at the end of 2014, in less than 24 hours, can do what it did in three days during the Second Lebanon War, and can do in 12 hours what it did in a week during Operation Pillar of Defense."
Maj. Gen. Eshel stated that "Israel can not afford lengthy attacks. We need to win quickly. A short time, in my opinion, is a few days. I do not believe in conducting long wars."
The air force chief argued that accurate and quality firepower is the main variable in achieving victory. To do so, he said, "It's not enough to have just technical ability – we need to adopt an approach. We're talking about an operation with full power; all of the air force, all encompassing, from the opening of the offensive effort in order to strike as powerfully as possible and shorten the war."
"We can destroy the military capabilities and infrastructure that support the activities of Hezbollah on a scale that would require decades to rebuild. We could achieve a direct hit on the terror organization and all that supports it on an unimaginable scale," the IAF commander said.
"Unfortunately Hezbollah took its assets and moved them into the cities," he added. Hezbollah terrorists position themselves deep within civilian urban areas, where they use homes and civilians as shields against Israeli counterattacks. In recent years, they have also mastered the technique of disappearing underground.
"This is a very significant challenge because we do not want to hurt innocent bystanders."
In the face of these challenges, the IDF uses precision strikes to eliminate terror targets, a method which also prevents operations from spiraling into wars. "What characterizes our air power is our ability to control its impact, and this is very important during incidents of combat between wars," Maj. Gen. Eshel explained. "Everything is flexible and subject to change. This is the advantage of the air force: the ability to take the hammer that was made for wars and use it in a more limited capacity."Aryeh Savir, Tazpit News Agency

North Africa Theater
Africa Command: ISIS in Libya
Gen. David Rodriguez, head of US Africa Command, said Dec. 3 that ISIS has set up training camps in eastern Libya, and that the Pentagon is closely monitoring the situation. He described the ISIS activity as "very small and nascent," with "around a couple hundred" militants were present at the camps. When asked if the Libyan camps are a potential target for US forces, Rodriguez said: "No, not right now." (AFP, Dec. 4) In October, Libya's militant group Ansar al-Sharia declared an "Islamic emirate" in the eastern city of Derna and pledged allegiance to ISIS. A video posted showed a parade in Derna with militants holding ISIS flags and shouting pro-ISIS slogans. (Al Arabiya, Oct. 6) This now makes three international entities that have joined the ISIS franchise.
Benghazi: investigation finds no White House fault
The US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Nov. 21 released a report (PDF) stating that the Obama administration properly responded to the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The committee, which is led by Republicans, concluded that there was no failure of intelligence and no delay in sending a rescue team. In a statement by committee chairman Mike Rogers, he announced:
Libya: high court dissolves UN-backed parliament
Libya's Supreme Court on Nov. 6 declared the UN-backed elected parliament unconstitutional. The ongoing crisis in Libya has created two rival parliaments, one based in the nation's capital Tripoli, and the other, which was declared illegitimate by the high court, based in the northeastern city of Tobruk. The court, in a televised ruling, found that the June 25 election of the House of Representatives and the subsequent appointment of Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni illegal under the country's provisional constitution. The internationally recognized Tobruk-based government fled to the northeast of the country after rival militias forced the government out of Libya's three major cities: Tripoli, Benghazi and Misrata. Tripoli, home of Libya's Supreme Court, has been under the control of the militia group Operation Dawn since August. They have reinstated the previous parliament, the General National Congress (GNC), who brought the challenge before the high court.
Tunisia boots jihadi 'godfather' Bernard Henry Levy
French philosopher Bernard Henri Levy was expelled from Tunisia Nov. 1—just 24 hours after his arrival in the country. His visit sparked widespread protests, with the UGTT trade union federation accusing him of "inciting anarchy and encouraging civil wars and terrorism in the Arab world." Met with angry demonstrators at the airport, Levy was reported to have spent most of his one day in Tunis sequestered in a hotel under close police protection, while the judiciary launched an investigation into his visit as a "threat to public order." Middle East Online cited "informed sources" as saying that "BHL" was in Tunis to meet with Libyan factions, adding: "Levy is known for maintaining close ties to Libyan Jihadist formations." Al Chourouq newspaper called Levy "the godfather of civil wars," charging: "His visit to Tunis aims at provoking sedition and causing the failure of next presidential elections."
Amnesty: Libya militias committing war crimes
Rival militias in Libya are committing serious human rights abuses, including war crimes, according to an Amnesty International (AI) report released Oct. 30. According to AI, since July 2013, "militias and armed groups have launched indiscriminate attacks in urban areas of the capital, Warshafana (southwest of Tripoli) and Zawiya with complete disregard for civilians and civilian objects, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to seek protection in safer parts of Libya or across its international borders." The report cites UN High Commission for Refuges data showing that since October of this year 287,000 people have been displaced in the cities of Tripoli and Benghazi and surrounding areas. According to AI,100,000 people are estimated to have fled Libya to neighboring countries. In addition to allegations of indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations, the AI report also contains allegations of widespread civilian kidnappings carried out by all parties to the conflict. Civilians and captured militia members have provided AI with detailed accounts of torture and ill-treatment in captivity including, "prolonged beatings...electric shock, [and being] suspended in contorted positions for hours." The AI report also provides detailed accounts of alleged summary killings and attacks targeting human rights workers and journalists.
UK court says Libyan can sue over rendition
A British court ruled (PDF) Oct. 30 that a former Libyan rebel commander can sue the British government for its alleged role in his detention and rendition. In 2004, Abdel Hakim Belhaj and his wife were arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, and returned to Muammar Qaddafi's Libya, where he spent years in prison. Belhaj first filed the lawsuit in 2012. Last year the British High Court threw out the claim, saying it was not a matter for the British courts and barred by the Acts of State doctrine. However, the Court of Appeal has now found that the claim is not barred because "it falls within a limitation on grounds of public policy in cases of violations of international law and fundamental human rights." The court went on to state that "[u]nless the English courts were able to exercise jurisdiction in this case, these very grave allegations would go uninvestigated and the appellants would be left without any legal recourse or remedy." Along with the British government, Belhaj is attempting to sue former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and the former head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), known as M16, for alleged complicity with US intelligence over his treatment.
Egypt bombs Libya —again?
Amid fierece fighting in Benghazi, AP cites unnamed "officials" as saying Egyptian warplanes have bombed Islamist positions in the eastern Libyan city. In the ongoing "Operation Dignity," led by renegade Gen. Khalifa Haftar, a tank assault is currently underway against an area of the city controlled by the 17 February Brigade, according to Libya Herald. Meanwhile in Tripoli, the Fajr Libya (Libyan Dawn) coalition, led by Islamist militia from Misrata, has seized government ministry buildings and now controls their websites. The website of Prime Minister Abdullah Thinni—who now sits with his cabinet in the eastern city of Bayda—shows the picture of the man the Misrata rebels have declared as prime minister, Omar al-Hasi. Libyan Dawn, now calling itself the National Salvation government, has also taken over the website of the National Oil Corp. (Reuters)
Libya: Sufis under attack —again
With Islamist-led militia in nearly complete control of the Libyan capital, the historic Othman Pasha Madrassa in Tripoli's Old City was vandalized Oct. 11 by a crowd of gunmen. The door to the madrassa was smashed, books and Korans stolen, and the tree in the center of the courtyard chopped down, in "an act of apparent sheer vindictiveness." The madrassa was apparently targeted because it has for many years been a Sufi institution. It had been similarly attacked two years ago, with graves from its cemetery dug up and the remains removed. Also Oct. 11, gunmen attempted to invade the Darghouth Mosque across a narrow street from the madrassa, but were prevented by armed locals. (Libya Herald, Oct. 12)

The present invention relates to an apparatus for use for training an operator in the use of an endoscope system comprising a dummy endoscope having an insertion tube; a fixture defining a duct receiving, in use, the insertion tube; sensor means responsive to manipulation of the dummy endoscope to provide signals representative of longitudinal and rotational movement of the insertion tube relative to the fixture; and simulation means responsive to the signals to generate an operator viewable image simulating the image which would be viewable using the endoscope when manipulated in like manner during an endoscopic procedure, wherein the simulation means further comprises tactile means independent of the sensor means and operable between the fixture and the insertion tube so as to provide a corresponding tactile feedback to the operator. Such an apparatus will subsequently be referred to as "of the kind described".
An example of an apparatus of the kind described is disclosed in GB-A-2252656. This document also discloses a frictional brake which is brought into engagement with the tube so as to provide a resistive force proportional to the degree of force feedback required.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,375,471 discloses a surgical simulation system with a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotational forces to a dummy instrument. In this device, a pair of pinch rollers not only transmit both the linear and rotary force feedback to the device, but also serve as the linear and rotary sensing mechanisms. Whilst such a system may work in simulations which require low levels of force feedback, they will not be suitable for an endoscopy simulation system in which a simulation such as a colonoscopy simulation require a high degree of force feedback. By using the same mechanism for force feedback and sensing, there is a real danger that the instrument will slip within the force feedback mechanism, whereupon the sensed position within the simulation is lost.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,582 also discloses a medical simulator. The document discloses sensors for sensing the linear and rotational position of a dummy instrument. It is stated that these sensors could be output devices to impart a force upon the dummy instrument. However, as the illustrated embodiments relate only to sensors, the interfaces between the dummy instrument and the transducers are designed for sensing purposes and are unsuitable for applying the levels of force feedback required in an endoscope system. Also, it appears that, as with U.S. Pat. No. 6,375,471, the input and output functions are carried out by the same devices and the same problems of slippage will occur. U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,582 does a disclose any practical mechanism by which the force feedback can be applied to the instrument.
Therefore, in the prior art, no-one has yet addressed the problem of how to provide a practical working device which is capable of providing independent linear and rotational force feedback to a dummy medical instrument, and particularly to instruments which require a relatively high level of force feedback.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, an apparatus of the kind described is characterised in that the tactile means comprises means to impart linear and rotational force feedback independently of one another, including a set of rollers spaced circumferentially around the duct such that the periphery of each roller engages, in use, the insertion tube and each roller is rotatable upon longitudinal movement of the tube; the rollers being arranged to grip the tube and being mounted on a disc which is rotatable upon rotational movement of the tube, a first force feedback mechanism for generating proportional resistance to rotation of at least one roller so as to provide force feedback against the longitudinal motion of tube, and a second force feedback mechanism for generating proportional resistance to rotation of the disc so as to provide force feedback against the rotational movement of the tube, wherein the rollers are configured to grip the tube so as to substantially eliminate slippage between the tube and the disc as the tube is rotated.
By providing the tactile means independent of the sensing means, the problems with the prior art are avoided. Even if the dummy instruments slips with respect to the tactile means when a high level of force feedback is applied, as the sensor means is independent, it will continue to monitor the position of the instrument. In other words, by being independent, the sensor means operates at a constant force and can be designed accordingly, while, in the prior art, the sensing means has to engage with the instrument through an ever changing degree of force.
Also, the arrangement of the rollers on the disc provides a practical solution to the problem of providing independent linear and rotational force feedback. The rollers not only fulfill the function of providing the linear force feedback to the endoscope, but also serves to transmit the rotational movement of the endoscope to the disc and also allow force feedback to be transmitted in the opposite direction.
Preferably, at least one of the rollers is spring loaded by a spring which tends to urge it into engagement with the tube. At least one roller, preferably the spring loaded one, is provided with circumferential ridges to grip the tube when transmitting rotational force feedback. The rollers preferably have a concave profile, such that the rollers engage with the majority of the circumference of the tube.
Preferably the ridges have sharp edges which deform the surface of the tube increasing the grip on the tube. The peripheral of the ridged roller is preferably rigid, while the remaining rollers are preferably rubber coated.
For optimum grip, there are preferably between five and fifteen, and ideally seven circumferential ridges. This spreads the load across the rollers so that they will not cut into the surface of the insertion tube.
Preferably the apparatus further comprises a second set of three rollers spaced circumferentially around the duct and such that the periphery of each roller engages, in use, the insertion tube, and each roller is rotatable upon longitudinal movement of the tube; the second set of rollers being arranged to grip the tube and being mounted on a second disc which is rotatable upon rotational movement of the tube; wherein one roller on each disc is connected to a motor which is arranged to generate force feedback to the roller to provide resistance to longitudinal movement of the tube, the two motors being mounted at diametrically opposed locations with respect to the axis of the tube.
With this arrangement, the linear force feedback load is spread between two motors, thereby reducing the requirement from each motor and hence reducing the likelihood of longitudinal slippage between the tube and the rollers. Further, as the motors are mounted at diametrically opposed locations, the overall mass which is required to rotate upon rotation of the tube is balanced without the need for any counterbalancing masses.
Preferably the sensor means comprises a set of sensor rollers spaced circumferentially around the duct such that the periphery of each, roller engages, in use, the insertion tube and each roller is rotatable upon longitudinal movement of the tube; the rollers being arranged to grip the tube and being mounted on a disc which is rotatable upon rotational movement of the tube.
An example of an apparatus constructed in accordance with the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The apparatus is broadly as described in our earlier application GB-A-2252656. This description is therefore limited to the mechanism for detecting the longitudinal and rotational movement of the flexible insertion tube relative to the fixture, and the mechanism for applying force feedback against the longitudinal motion of the insertion tube.
The force feedback mechanism is shown in
The fixture comprises a housing 1 in which a disk 2 is rotatably mounted. A duct 3 for receiving an insertion tube extends through the entire assembly along axis 4 as best shown in FIG. 4.
The disk 2 and everything attached thereon are rotatable together about axis 4. A toothed belt 5A is provided around a pulley 5 and also around a motor 5B (
A first set of three rollers 6 is mounted to the disk 2 on a first side of a housing 1, and a second set of rollers 7 are similarly attached to the disk 2 on the opposite side of the housing 1. The sets of rollers are similar in construction and operation, and only the first set of rollers 6 is described below.
The first set of rollers 6 comprises a first 6A, a second 6B and third 6C rollers equally spaced about the axis 4. Each roller is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the axis 4. The rollers have a concave profile 8 and are arranged such that they will substantially surround the insertion tube extending along the axis 4 as best shown in FIG. 3.
The first roller 6A comprises a number of sharp edged circumferentially extending ridges 9. The first roller 6A is also spring-loaded by a spring 10 which urges it towards the axis 4. The arrangement shown in
The insertion tube engaging surface 11 of the second roller 6B is rubber coated. The second roller 6B is attached to a first force feedback motor 12 which can provide a torque to the second roller 6B to resist rotary motion of the second roller, and hence provide resistance to linear insertion of the insertion tube.
The third roller 6C is similar to the second roller 6B in that it is similarly rubber coated. However, the third roller is simply an idler roller which is not connected to a feedback motor.
The second set of rollers 7 comprises first 7A, second 7B and third 7C rollers all of which are as described above with regard to the first set of rollers. The second roller 7B is attached to a second force feedback motor 13. However, the second set of rollers is angularly offset about the axis 4 by 180�. This has the effect of offsetting the first force feedback motor 12 from the second force feedback motor 13 by 180� about the axis 4. Thus, the disk 2 is balanced for rotational movement without having to employ separate counterbalance weights.
A number of annular contacts 14 which rotate with the assembly mounted on the disk 2 are provided. These are in sliding contact with a number of electrical pick-ups 15 (
In use, when the insertion tube is inserted into the duct 3 along axis 4, it passes through the two sets 6, 7 of rollers. Longitudinal motion of the insertion member causes rotation of all six rollers. When the simulation software detects that feedback to the longitudinal movement is required, the torque provided by the motors 12, 13 is increased.
When the insertion tube is rotated, all of the above described apparatus mounted on the disk 2 is rotated with the tube. Force feedback against this rotation may be provided through the pulley 5. At this time, any slippage of the insertion tube across the face of the two sets of wheels 6, 7 is prevented firstly by the fact that the load is spread between the two sets of wheels, and secondly by the fact that the ridges 9 grip the insertion tube as it is rotated.
The sensing mechanism is mounted on a second fixture 20 and has a similar three roller configuration to one of the sets of rollers on the force feedback mechanism. In particular, the sensor comprises three rollers 21A, 21B, 21C mounted on a disc 22 which is rotatable about axis 4. A pulley 23 is rotatable with the disc 22 and a belt 24 couples pulley 23 a second pulley 25 of an optical encoder 26. Thus, as the insertion tube is rotated the rotation is transmitted by the wheels 21A-C to disc 22 and hence by the belt 25 to the optical encoder 26 allowing the rotary position of the tube to be detected.
As mentioned above, the three rollers 21A-C have a similar configuration to the rollers 6, 7 on the force feedback assembly. In particular, the first sensor roller 21A is provided with circumferential grooves 27 similar to the grooves 9 on rollers 6A and 7A. This roller is also spring loaded into engagement with the insertion tube by a spring assembly 28. The second 21B and third 21C sensor rollers are of the same construction as the second and third rollers of the feedback mechanism. In particular, they do not have grooves, but are rubber coated. In this case, no motor is present. Instead, an optical encoder 28 is provided to detect the rotation of the third sensor roller 21C and hence to provide an indication of the linear position of the insertion tube. A number of annular contacts 29 and associated pick-ups 30 allow the transfer of this sensed information from the rotating assembly.
The insertion tube is first inserted from the right hand side as shown in

everyday I check the price of this stock. I lose $1,000 a day.
I believe in complete disclosure. I currently have 10,000 shares @3.89, I've averaged down twice but I'm done throwing money down a rat hole.
Bobby Booshay
This stock is a trip to the casino. 10,000 is too big of a bet, unless you're really loaded. I put some away and will hope for a hit and some bragging rights, but I will not be surprised if it's a write off.
Did I not warn you people yesterday?? It's going to hit $3 soon and more than likely drop below that mark. how much more money are you willing to lose?
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Butterbuns, maybe you need to say you're shorting the stock.
My cost is around $4.50. The rest of my portfolio counterbalances these loses. This has to turn around soon.
It sounds to me that you are looking for instant gratification.. your not losing unless you sell.. the time to buy is when everyone else is in fear and the time sell is when everyone else is buying.. This a long term hold and it looks like you are well positioned. They are looking to upgrade sometime this year. They spoke of it yesterday and they have wrote about it. If anything I would be buying more and I did yesterday. I am down @ an average of $4.03. I putting a buy in for another 500 shares for $3.15. Stay strong. The only losers are day traders..
U are wise...and a very smart person...instant Gratification couldn't have said it better
Staying long ...and strong...i understand that after the re file of 10k and add a few more board members...it will take this Stock to NASDAQ and we can be done with these stupid trades of 100 and 200 shares and see big boys and girls lay down some big money for long term gain..
Sentiment: Hold
"You are not losing unless you sell"..huh? Try telling that to your wife that wants you to withdraw some money from your trading account for a vacation but you can't because it's not there anymore since ONVO lost half its value. Or, try explaining to the bank that your net worth is now a lot less than it was but you still want that loan from them you discussed last week based on your financial statement. Where do you think margin calls come from? The loss is there wether you sell or not. If you hold long enough, you may recover your loss...then again it may go to 0. Good luck.

Mexican singer/actress BEATRIZ ADRIANA is recovering at home after undergoing colon surgery. An ambulance rushed the 56-year-old from her house in Corona, California to hospital on 11 August (06), after she started suffering abdominal pain. Doctors diagnosed Adriana with volvulus, a condition in which the colon becomes twisted. Following surgery, she was discharged from hospital last Friday (18AUG06), but will need two months to fully recover. Speaking earlier this week (begs21AUG06), Adriana said, "I'm here alive and that's what's most important."
There's already an Oscars buzz surrounding this movie.

Back Pain when shooting at home
When and after i done shooting, i get back pain on my left or right side of my back. I think its my posture when shooting because i dont get into a "shooting posture" and stand straight up and lean onto one side. But i recently have been fixing that and getting low into a shooting posture, but my back still hurts. Any ideas?
What's your athletic build? Shooting works your core a lot. If you don't have a strong back it'll be sore (if that's the pain you're talking about).
maybe you need a longer stick?
Are you hunching over by bending at the back or are your sticking your butt out back while you bend at the knees to keep your back straight? The former will cause back pain and the latter is the proper way, although your back will still probably be a little sore at first as the muscles get stronger.
I had a sore back when I first started playing. Def agree with Jarick, a good lumbar curve will save you years of back pain. Shooting is a motion that uses a core twist, which can cause the abdominal muscles to weaken. Once those are weak, your back muscles take on additional loads they are not used to and get sore. The solution is core workouts for sure. Dead lifts, squats and some ab routines will make you feel better.
Kettlebell swings with tight abs + front plank + an hour of shoveling = sore abs today
Or a shorter one if you are wearing shoes. If you are using a stick the same length as your stick on the ice it will be too long and put you in a strange position that your body isn't used to.
I always find I stand up straighter at home than when I have my knees bent and shooting so the stick is more or less the same. Shots are harder on the ice though because you're moving an extra 10+ mph and can transfer your weight easier.
ab routines, such as crunches, are actually horrible for treating low-back pain. they tend to round the lumbar and place it under muscular load, which not only hurts the discs, but also worsens already present muscular imbalances. if you want to strengthen your abs, doing planks and/or supermans with perfect form is enough for most people, but if you want harder stimulus, paloff presses.
deadlifts and squats should be a staple obviously, but i would once again caution about perfect form.
for those interested, here is eric cressey on neutral spine
When you do your strength and conditioning you should really focus on your core, abs, back. Many people confuse core with abs and back because they are very alike. Core is a certain area underneath your abs and your back. Core exercises have a lot to do with balancing, though abs and back strengthening can very well help your core as well.
Anyway... when you do it, be sure to focus on these. Go ahead and have your days where you work on your biceps, of course your legs, your neck. All of this will also strengthen your overall build but remember to rely mostly on training of the core, abs and back and legs. Most important of all.
You said you get most of your pain in your garage. I assume that you are not on skates and therefor on a differ height than your use to. Your stick is probably too long and your form is all off causing stress to differ areas of your body including your back.
Bad form can really do damage in both the short and long run
Remember to properly stretch and warm up when doing physical activity
Ahaaaa, my stick is too long. Wow, probably shoulda payed attention to that. Guess im gonna cut it down, and what do you guys use to remove a plug?

Published: August 4, 2013 - 10:59 PM | Updated: August 5, 2013 - 06:22 AM
Stacy Lewis felt such a spiritual connection with St. Andrews that even when she was 3 shots behind with three to play, she never lost hope she could win the Women's British Open.
No way could she have scripted a finish like this.
Facing the scariest shot and the hardest hole on the Old Course — the approach to the 17th, the famous Road Hole — Lewis pictured a low 5-iron that a right-to-left wind would knock down and allow to bounce up the slope toward the flag without going over the back of the green.
"It's one of those shots you see in your head, but you don't really ever pull it off," Lewis said. "And just off the club face, it was perfect."
The ball settled 3 feet away for birdie, the best shot of the tournament, maybe the best of her career.
Then, she wisely used putter from 40 yards short of the 18th green, through the Valley of Sin to 25 feet.
Lewis bent over and placed both hands on her knees after making the putt, a birdie-birdie finish that gave another special moment at the home of golf — her second major title.
Lewis saved her best for the final two holes of a marathon finish Sunday and closed with an even-par 72 for a 2-shot victory over Na Yeon Choi and Hee Young Park in St. Andrews, Scotland. It ended a record drought for the Americans in the majors — 10 straight, all won by Asian players.
"It's unbelievable," Lewis said. "It all happened so fast at the end. You're afraid for every shot, and all of a sudden you make a couple of birdies and it's over."
It was over early for Inbee Park and her bid to become the first pro golfer to win four straight majors in a single season. Returning to the Old Course in the morning in calm conditions to complete 14 holes of her third round, she couldn't make a putt and lost ground. Park had a 74-78 finish and wound up 14 shots behind.
PGA Tour
Gary Woodland holed a 58-foot chip from the rough for one of his four birdies and got up-and-down to save par five times to win the Reno-Tahoe Open in Reno, Nev., for his second PGA Tour victory.
Woodland finished with 44 points in the modified Stableford format that awards eight points for double eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double bogey or worse.
Jonathan Byrd and Andres Romero tied for second with 35 points, and Brendon Steele had 33 at Montreux Golf Club on the edge of the Sierra.
Woodland, also the 2011 Transitions Championship winner as a tour rookie, earned $540,000 for the victory and got a spot next week in the PGA Championship.
Champions Tour
Tom Pernice Jr. birdied the final two holes for a 1-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman and Corey Pavin in the 3M Championship in Blaine, Minn.
Pernice finished with a 4-under 68 and had a 17-under 199 total at the TPC Twin Cities for his second career Champions Tour victory. He also has two PGA Tour victories.
Sluman closed with a 62, and Pavin had a 66.
Trailing Sluman by 1 shot at the par-3 17th, Pernice made a 40-foot birdie putt to pull even. At the par-5 18th, he hit his second shot from 200 yards to 8 feet and two-putted for the winning birdie.
It was his first win in 51 starts dating to the 2009 SAS Championship, his first event as a Champions Tour player.
Reminding himself to be patient throughout the round, Pernice had birdies on Nos. 3 and 4, and after a bogey on No. 9, made a birdie at No. 12 to get to 15 under.
Sluman, who began the day 7 shots behind Pernice, birdied his first seven holes to get to 13 under. After a par at the par-3 eighth hole, Sluman birdied the par-4 ninth hole to establish a nine-hole tournament record of 28. However, he had only two birdies on the back nine.
Sluman, who won the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf earlier this year, parred three straight holes before a birdie on the par-4 14th put him alone in front at 16 under. He then failed to break par over the final four holes — missing a birdie try from inside 10 feet on No. 18.

Revenge is a cornerstone of dramatic potential, yet sometimes the payoff seems so far away. "Sin" introduced a new element to Emily's quest: regret. Our heroine's judgment is called into question, along with a couple of incomplete story developments. Still, through the muck a small star shines. Perhaps it's finally time for both Clarke girls to avenge their father?
The Players:
- Director: John Scott
- Writer: Joe Fazzio
- Cast: Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Henry Czerny, Josh Bowman, Christa B. Allen, Barry Sloane, James LeGros, Justin Hartley, Karine Vanasse, Richard Johnson, David Moses
Episode Title: "Sin"
Victoria pushes Patrick forward while Emily sets her sights on a target that's on a very interesting path.
The Good:
- Daughter Rising: As we hoped, Charlotte is already showing real promise this season. She was quick enough to put together Emily's broken confidence and bold enough to confront her in an appropriately miffed manner. Her attitude towards Patrick seems unnecessary, but at least she's become wary of new family members. That paled in comparison to her rebuke of adopted father Conrad when Jack let it slip that he knew about the bomb that killed Declan and caused her miscarriage. All of a sudden Emily isn't the only Clarke girl with a chip on her shoulder and retribution in
her eyes. If the writers validate Charlotte's character they'll be headed in the right direction.
- Sharpie Stumble: What Emily's arbitrary decision has made obvious is the blinders the lead revenger's developed. By all accounts, Father Paul Whitley's path since David Clarke's death appears to be a righteous one. Like many of Emily's previous enemies, he could have a terrible secret hidden below the surface. But is our heroine wrong not to wait to find it? The decision to finally harden Emily for good could have intriguing consequences. However, it looks like waffling between Emily with a moral compass and Emily with heartless drive appears to be more important to the writing staff. Still, the tension her crisis of conscience creates has potential. Waiting to see which of her judgments of Father Whitley was appropriate could be entertaining.
- The Muffin Man: For a man who can find more than one way to brazenly wear orange, nothing's a real challenge. Nolan's first few minutes on screen peppered viewers with his quick wit. First, offering his one night stand a chauffeured, "drive of shame or fame," because of his self-proclaimed PTSD: Padma Tyler sexual damage. The man's title of fan favorite certainly isn't in danger. The baking he was so proud of became an inside joke when the muffins he gave Emily were immediately pawned off on the Graysons. Then Victoria presented them to Nolan as a welcome to the neighborhood when she came snooping. Her decision to set her sights on Emily's confidant dangles a delicious carat of dialogue. The two characters with the best lines in constant conflict will make for more than a few notable conversations.
The So-So:
- Manufactured Conscience: If anyone is keeping track, two out of two times that Conrad's had an attack, Emily handed him a drink immediately before. These sorts of deductions aren't normally possible after one of her maneuvers. If her poisoning provokes the emergence of a repentant Conrad then no more will be said. Nevertheless, if someone figures out the pattern it certainly won't be a shock.
- An Affair to Forget: Margaux's open flirtation and thinly veiled insults towards Emily were a heralding trumpet for her celebratory strip-down for Daniel. On one hand, the confident pose Daniel struck before handing Margaux her dress and refusing her advances was another in a line of strong moments he should be used to. On the other, a mere affair is barely worthy of our attention. Some added intrigue needs to manifest in order for this plot to matter.
- The Silent Partner: It seems irresponsible for Victoria to join forces with someone who hasn't clearly outlined the reasons he turned against his ex-girlfriend. Knowing Aiden had a hand in raiding her family of their fortune has to be unsettling yet Victoria hasn't made her true intentions known.
The Quotable:
- "You're welcome to take a run at him but he's always viewed God as a competitor."—Victoria
- "Tell me, when exactly did punishing the guilty become more important than helping the innocent."—Jack
- "You deserve to die miserable and alone."—Charlotte
"Sin" put the transgressions of several characters on display. Unfortunately, in true Revenge fashion the good was nearly outshined by the slow and boring. There always seems to be potential just over the horizon, but that point in the faraway future is starting to feel like a destination we'll never reach.
Rating: 7/10
Revenge airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on ABC.

It seems odd to be in the middle of a July heatwave and to be writing about a novel called Winter Roses (plus its companion Songs of Spring) which have just been relaunched by Allison & Busby in paperback and ebook. They are the third and fourth novels in my Great War quartet about the Lilley family who live in a Sussex village rectory. Its predecessors, Summer's End and Dark Harvest, were published last year.
This is an appropriate time for Winter Roses to appear as it opens in June 1916, and July, one hundred years ago, was the first month of the Battle of the Somme. The battle continued until November with all its tragedies and hard fought conflicts. During my earlier career as a publishing editor I met many who had fought at the Somme or elsewhere during the four years of war and the Great War quartet was born out of my memories of their differing reflections. The war changed the lives of the Lilley family as it did for millions of families all over the world. It's fitting that the cover of Songs of Spring shows a field of poppies, which have come to be the symbol of remembrance of the suffering and the sacrifice.

Public Service Board orders halt to natural gas pipeline diggingJuly 29,2014MONTPELIER — The state Public Service Board has ordered Vermont Gas Systems to stop digging for its pipeline near power lines owned by the Vermont Electric Cooperative because of nearby pesticide concerns.
Vermont Public Radio reports the state Agency of Natural Resources alerted the company to the possibility that soil contaminated with Pentachlorophenol, or PCP, could be disturbed by pipeline construction. The cooperative's poles have been treated with PCP, also used as a wood preservative. The EPA has found it to be toxic.
Last week, Vermont Gas said in a letter to the board "it would be prudent" for the company to develop a soil management plan for the project. In response, the board required the company to stop digging until a plan has been reviewed and approved by the board.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...

Direct Feedback
"Hits the Nail on the Head"
This is the most accurate portrait of business in China I have read. This is a must read if your going to China, or you just started. The Chinese are hard to get, this book helps.
"Amazing insights!"
I am listening to this a second time to pick up anything I might have missed. Paul Midler has done an amazing job of explaining the "Chinese perspective" in manufacturing as it relates to doing business with the West. As I am preparing to do business in China, I can't believe the wealth of information I have learned! This is not a "slam" piece on China but, rather, an insightful explanation of the way business is done. This should be required listening for anyone thinking of doing business in China.
Addicted to audiobooks & podcasts. 5 Stars=I Loved It, 4 Stars=Enjoyed it Thoroughly, 3=Kinda Good, 2=Bad/Boring, 1=Complete Waste of Credit
Unless you're looking to do business in China or you are super interested in manufacturing this book probably won't interest you. I will say that it rates #1 as the best book to fall asleep to because the narration is very calming and pleasant. I wasn't expecting much and this book delivered that and much less.
"Fantastic insight"
Fantastic stories and gives you a good heads up if you plan to manufacture in China. Even if you're not, its a great read on the different cultures from a business perspective. highly recommended
"Great book"
Definitely gives you an insight to what goes on in China. Being new to the Chinese manufacturing sector it helps to know the tactics that go on. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in manufacturing whether you deal with China or not.
"Great Information on Chinese business tactics!"
A must read for anyone looking to enter business deals with Chinese manufacturers! Well written with great stories!
"Nasal Narrator"
I have two young kids so audio books during my commute are my only option.
I like the opening story and what it foreshadows for the rest of the text.
I rarely enjoy author's reading thier own work. The author often sounded like he had a cold as he was reading, and it took away from the overall enjoyment.
Probably not quite, but it was enjoyable.
"A great story of culture clash and capitalism"
The anecdotes in Poorly Made In China are stories that have stuck with me months after listening to this book. The insight given into how things are made, the cultural differences, and how China has completely changed the face of manufacturing is easy to see in purchases I make every day. Even for someone like me who's worked with overseas contractors for years, this insight was illuminating.
"A Must Read"
One of the top 5 non-fiction books in the past 3 years
Game Change
No - but he did a great job - I thought it was Dennis Boutsikaris who read Game Change
Made in China
I will look for addl books and articles by this author
"Very insightful book; well read"
I really enjoyed and learned quite a bit that I hadn't fully appreciated about outsourcing production from China. The book is very insightful about the different thought process and mindset that Chinese have in comparison to what is generally thought to be the norm in American or Western European business settings. Even if you don't work in China (I'm an American working in Russia, for example) -- you may find this an interesting book.
Paul does an excellent job reading the book. I suppose this was pragmatic given the occasional words in Chinese... however there is something genuine and authentic about hearing a person tell their story in their own voice. Paul speaks in an unpretentious and down to earth manner that is easy to follow.
