text: Hey guys, I have a 2008 Chevorlet silverado, extended cab, silver, and of course 2wd. I want to lift it soon, but I have no idea what would be good. I have been told that a lift on a 2wd is stupid, because it would "Mess it up" "look rediculous" or "waste of money" I have always wanted a jacked up truck, nice tires, and sexy rims. My truck would look amazing, but would be descriminated against because it doesnt have the big "4x4, z71" sticker on its bed. My dad and I worked hard to get this truck and I treat it perfectly. But because of its 2wd everyone thinks it should just be a car, I dont think like that but I want to knock their socks off. I want my truck to look badass, but I need help. I cant decide what size lift would look good on it. I dont want extremely huge, but noticable. I want to turn heads down the road. Also, would a lift mess it up in any way? I plan not to touch any mud with it, thats whats my friend's trucks are for haha. Any tips you guys would be awesome. I just need help! - - - Updated - - - This is my truck

Reviews of this property
For the second time...a really great stay in this very nice studio apartment! Definitely the cosiest place for a visit in Den Haag!
Thank you Judith and Dennis:)
Very kindly host. The apartment was clean and very cusy. Close to central station, City and supermarked, we were just walking around. Quite street so we could enjoy sitting on the balcony. Give our Best recomandesion.
We had a great stay in Den Haag. The apartment is very good and has everything you need (and also a lovely balcony!), a supermarket just around the corner and is just a 10 minute walk away from Den Haag Centraal. We really enjoyed our holiday and would love to come back.
I enjoyed my stay at Judiths wonderful small apartment very much.
Everything was exactly as in the description and the pictures show what you get.
I loved the view from the balcony.
And it is only a few minutes by foot to the city center.
I can recommend it and next time I travel to Den Haag, I would like to stay here again.
We were looking for a room at good location and lovely to live. We found a perfect match. Everything from the booking to leaving the apartment went better than we could ever imagine. We felt very welcome from the beginning.
Judith's place was only 5-10min to the city and the Hague Centraal railwaystation. Also many parks and The Hague Forest were right next to you. Apartment was nice, cozy and fully equipped. Shower and toilet were renovated and clean. Top (4th) floor with a little balcony has a nice view. If you want, you can wash your clothes downstairs.
All and all our stay was perfect and we can recommend it.
We were very satisfied with the apartment and had a very pleasant time there. For the following reasons
The description was clear and honest
b) Everything worked well, as it should, the bed was clean and comfortable, the shower was great, the kitchen was small but adequate.
c) The flat was on the fourth floor but there was a lift across the hallway.
d) A helpful list of house rules and information was available on the table
e) Excellent location for us, very near the centre and train station, with a bus stop directly outside, although we walked most of the time. As you leave the building and turn right and take the first right there were several kinds food of shops and restaurants round the corner.
f) The hosts were very helpful and made us feel at home and were easily available for any enquiries.
We highly recommend this apartment.
"Very nice apartment, clean and complete. Kitchen and bath room basics are available. Everything you need is at hand. Shops, food stores, public transport. Near the city centre and in a very short time you're at the beach. Judith is a very friendly host who is very helpful with any information and advise you might need. Quiet apartment building and lovely view."
Die Unterkunft in der wir waren ,war ein sehr gemütliches Appartement.Von dort aus war alles wie Strand ,Stadt mit dem Auto oder den Öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut zu erreichen. Um die Ecke war auch ein Supermarkt und Reastaurante Das zu Fuß zu erreichen war.Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und würden jeder Zeit wieder hier her kommen.
Gut gelegene Wohnung mit schönem Blick auf die Den Haager Skyline in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Bahnhof, Zentrum und Wald (Haagse Bos etc.). Nur wenige Gehminuten von der Altstadt, vom Königspalast und Friedenspalast entfernt. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Sightseeing. Liebenswürdige aufmerksame Gastgeber.

I tend to be perhaps too scientific in whatever I get involved with so naturally I looked at a days' deposit on a sticky board (actually a piece of 5" wide masking tape) under a stereo microscope. No mites- that was a primary concern. One dead larvae. Two tiny snails 0.050" long. The thing of concern is the high presence of what appear to be light brown rice grains made up of three segments, kind of like three balls stuck together. The three segments total about 0.024" long by 0.008" diameter (0.610mm x .203mm). One of these things was made up of 10 segments. They are not alive and at x450 show nothing but transparency.
Does anyone know what I'm looking at? Bee poop? Poop from something nasty? Or should I just ignore it and put my microscope away?

The Newport Daily News made headlines this summer when it began charging for access to its online edition in a bid to send readers scurrying back to the more profitable paper product.
Here was an old media company flaunting the new media rules in a gallant — or, depending on one's point of view, hopelessly backward — attempt to stay afloat.
But just as the newspaper was launching its counter-offensive, an erstwhile member of the Daily News family was mounting a sort of online rebuke to the paper's bravado.
Lynne Tungett, who founded Newport Life Magazine in 1994, later sold it to the Daily News and stayed on with the new owners for a time, is the force behind Newport Now, a two-month-old web site that offers free news on the latest boat races and development contretemps in the city by the sea.
And Tungett, who was planning the site before the Daily News announced its experiment, insists that free news is not just an inevitability, but a duty. Readers should not have to pay, she says, to keep tabs on the City Council or School Committee.
Newspaper execs who complain that they cannot finance in-depth coverage of local government with the give-it-away-for-free model that prevails these days? Well, Tungett doesn't have much patience for them.
"I think newspapers and the traditional media are just plain whining," she said.
It is time to build a new business model, Tungett said. Time to adapt to the new reality. "The world has changed," she said.
It is a common refrain. And there is, of course, much to recommend the view. Fighting the Internet may be a hopeless endeavor.
But the trouble is that no one has figured out how to deliver anything approaching the level of coverage that traditional newspapers could afford in the glory days. And that's what makes the Daily News' experiment so intriguing.
The paper reports a bump in newsstand purchases, since it began charging for access to its Web site. And Daily News brass, derided as dinosaurs in some corners when they launched the experiment, are now fielding speaking requests.
Newport Now, meanwhile, is still a work in progress.
The site has just three or four regular contributors, Tungett said, all of them freelancers. There are some technical issues to be worked out — compatibility with different browsers, proper capture of video and the like. And Newport Now has not yet started selling advertising.
But readership is building. The site claims about 1000 unique visitors per week, on average. And Tungett, who built Newport Life from scratch, says she has "every confidence" in her ability to get the new venture humming — to build a sizable staff that can provide coverage on par with a traditional newspaper. It will just take a little time, she says.
"In their first couple of months," she said, of the 163-year-old Daily News, "I dare say they were probably a good deal smaller than they are now."
But her chief argument for the eventual success of the site is something bigger — the march of progress. The Internet is king, she says. The news shall be free. And the traditional newspaper, she suggests, is doomed for the scrapheap of history.
The nascent news war in Newport is as good a test as any for her theory.

Lake Sturgeon Reintroduction to the Coosa River Basin
Frequently Asked Questions About Lake Sturgeon Reintroduction into the Upper Coosa River System
What are lake sturgeon?
Sturgeons (about 27 species world-wide) are a very unique, awe-inspiring group of fish that look like they belong more with dinosaurs than with our current day freshwater fish. In fact, they did coexist with dinosaurs and have changed little since that time. They are a cartilaginous (nearly boneless) fish with a shark-like tail, sucker-like mouth, sensitive barbels under its snout and rows of bony scutes (plates) on the side and top of its body. The lake sturgeon is a species that is found primarily in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River drainage area but was also found in the Coosa River basin in northwestern Georgia and northeastern Alabama. Unfortunately, lake sturgeon disappeared from the Coosa River system in the 1960s.
How big and how old do lake sturgeon get?
One lake sturgeon on record lived to be 154 years of age and another tipped the scales at 310 pounds. Both these records were from northern states in the early 20th century and few, if any, such fish exist today. Unfortunately, little was recorded about the Coosa River population of lake sturgeon but they probably did not live as long or get as large as northern fish due to the warmer waters. Biologists have found a few old pictures of Coosa drainage fish in which the fish appear to weigh up to about 40 pounds.
What do lake sturgeon eat?
Sturgeons are primarily bottom feeders that find their food by smell and touch. Food consumption studies indicate lake sturgeon feed on almost anything they can find, which includes invertebrates, insect larvae, crayfish, worms and mollusks. While these studies found that sturgeon eat some fish and fish eggs, they were not a large component of the lake sturgeon diet. Most food consumption studies found that food items were typically eaten in proportion to the items abundance in the environment. However, several researchers reported a preference for soft-bodied invertebrates such as mayflies.
Why does the Georgia Department of Natural Resources want to stock lake sturgeon?
One reason for stocking lake sturgeon is to reestablish a sport fish. Fishermen reported good harvests of lake sturgeon into the early 1960s but the fish suddenly disappeared. Considering the longevity of lake sturgeon and the heavy harvests reported by some fishermen, over-harvest was likely a factor in the disappearance of the Coosa River fish. Biologists believe the species can once again be part of the river ecosystem and provide some harvest if monitored and managed carefully. Lake sturgeon are prized by sportsmen primarily for their meat and eggs.
Another reason to restore the species is that most people are interested in the preservation of rare species. In one recent survey, 72% of Georgians favored more money and time be devoted to the management of imperiled species. Lake sturgeon are certainly one of the more interesting of these species due to their size, unique appearance and longevity. By reintroducing lake sturgeon, Georgians are contributing to the preservation of a fascinating species.
Why are lake sturgeon populations in such bad shape?
When European settlers first started fishing the Great Lakes the lake sturgeon had little value and were considered a nuisance because they would tangle fishermens nets. They were wastefully slaughtered in much the same way as the American buffalo. So invaluable were the fish that they were tossed on the bank to rot, fed to hogs and even dried and burned as firewood. About 1860 their value increased dramatically as the demand for their flesh, eggs, and other products increased. Over-harvest quickly occurred and the population dropped to a fraction of its original abundance. In Lake Erie, for example, harvest was over 5 million pounds in 1895 but by 1905 the total harvest was only 100,000 pounds. Today, harvest of lake sturgeon for commercial purposes has stopped and only a few sport fisheries remain.
Efforts to restore the species are hampered by the lake sturgeons low reproductive capabilities. Females from the Great Lakes area do not reproduce until they are 14-25 years of age and then only reproduce every four to nine years. Although lake sturgeon are expected to mature faster in the warmer waters of the Coosa River system, their reproductive capabilities will still be far below other species.
While over-harvest is likely the main cause of the decline, dams that block spawning movements and water pollution have also been blamed. Today, like most sturgeons in the world, lake sturgeon populations are weak and the species continued existence is a concern for fishery managers. Current population numbers are estimated to be less than 1% of their original abundance. Despite the drastic decline in sturgeon numbers, the demand for sturgeon eggs and flesh remains high today. Because of its value, poaching is a concern that further threatens the species.
Are the original Coosa system lake sturgeon really gone?
GDNR biologists reviewed 40 years of general fish sampling data from the area, consulted with citizens and staff of other agencies, and sampled specifically for sturgeon using a variety of methods. Although there is one claim that two fish were found in an area pond in 1980 (which has since been drained), biologists found no substantiated evidence that the fish remained in the Coosa system after the middle 1960s.
How will lake sturgeon affect other species, particularly crappie in Lake Weiss?
Although sturgeon will eat fish if they can, their blind, ambling feeding behavior limits their ability to prey on fish, especially mobile species such as crappie. Sturgeon are also known to eat fish eggs (as do many other fish species) which potentially could reduce crappie reproduction. On the other hand, sturgeon can also eat the eggs of crappie competitors and predators, thus reducing competition and reducing species that prey on crappie. So, will sturgeon help or hurt other fish populations? The answer is neither. Sturgeon numbers will be too low to significantly impact other fish populations either positively or negatively. Nowhere in its range is overpopulation of lake sturgeon a problem. In fact, most states do not have enough lake sturgeon to keep them off their rare and endangered species lists. The lake sturgeons low reproduction rate makes the chance of them overpopulating virtually impossible. Even if they did reproduce to greater numbers than desired, it would be easy to reduce the population through harvest regulations since demand for the species is high. Remember also that lake sturgeon is a native species, not an exotic species, which has never been tested in the system before. Lake Weiss likely harbored lake sturgeon after it was built. The dam was completed in 1961, which is a few years before the lake sturgeon disappeared from the Coosa River system. Regarding rare species, keep in mind that sturgeons are opportunistic feeders, which, generally feed on the foods that are most abundant. Thus, if a species is rare, sturgeon will rarely encounter it.
Where will you stock the sturgeon?
Sturgeon will be stocked at numerous sites in the Etowah (up-and downstream of Lake Allatoona), Coosawattee and Oostanaula Rivers because these rivers were the last reported locations to contain lake sturgeon. There are no current plans to stock above Carters Reservoirs.
How many sturgeon will GDNR stock and how big will they be?
The initial stocking of sturgeon occurred in December, 2002 when approximately 1,100 six-inch sturgeon were released in the Oostanaula River. Including this first stocking, GDNR has released over 85,000 fingerlings as of December 2008. While this seems like a large number of fish to stock, only a small proportion of these fish are expected to survive. Numerous studies are planned to continue to monitor the success of the reintroduction program. Results of this monitoring will be used to fine tune future stocking rates, time and locations to improve success. Biologists estimate it will take at least 15-20 years of stocking to reestablish the lake sturgeon to the Coosa River system. Based on reports from anglers, previously stocked sturgeon are adapting well and thriving in the river.
When will we be able to harvest lake sturgeon again?
Before harvest can begin, biologists must be sure the lake sturgeon are surviving to reproductive age and reproducing naturally. Biologists will then need to determine the level of recruitment to adult size and carefully determine how much harvest can be allowed. Given the slow maturity of lake sturgeon and their longevity, it may take several decades before harvest will be permitted.
Since it is illegal to harvest lake sturgeon, what do I do if I catch one?
While anglers should not deliberately target lake sturgeon when fishing, some will likely be caught accidentally. These fish should be released unharmed as soon as possible after capture. If a fish is hooked deep, just cut the line as close to the hook as possible and release the fish with the hook. The fish has a better chance of surviving with the hook than it would if it was injured while removing the hook.

POOR DESIGN, do not buy
By Mel lawman
from Sarasota, Fl
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Saris Bones Trunk Rack (2 Bike):
Poor design. You must remove arms to adjust for different cars. Screws are made of cheap plastic which screws into metal nuts. The screws deform and no longer securely hold the arm. Saris has refused to replace, although rack has been used minimally, stating that this is "ordinary wear and tear". Some "lifetime" warranty. I have had two other bike racks which adjust for vehicles with ratchet mechanisms, AND neither had cheap plastic screws which failed. Overpriced for something made of cheap plastic. Buy Thule or another respectable brand. These guys are making a killing with this "different" design.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fast, Easy and Durable
By Gloria
from Houston, Texas
Pulling out this multi-limbed contraption out of the box was intimidating. I assumed it must be a doable task since I've seen this rack on other cars. Once I figured which end was up, everything else just fell into place! This Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack was simple to adjust and fit to my car, a Mercedes Benz C class. Once fitted, it mounts (and dismounts) in one or two minutes. No marring or scratches! Perfect! I love it!

What a deal!
By joseph bumski

I ride 3,000 miles a year and try not to repeat the same ride each time. The Saris Bones rack is easy to use for 1 or 2 cycles so I can take two different frames with me at all time and decide where I want to ride after I am on the road.

Once you get it configured to fit your car, it is very easy to install and remove. I feel very comfortable with my favorite bike on this carrier.
By Lumpy
from Key West, FL.
We're right on the salt water; the majority (except metal clips ) is not metal; that's good. It's on my Prius and guaranteed for life.If I live! I forget to step aside when closing the hatch and have had the rack come down hard on my skull 6 times. Finally attached two threads that remind me of this hazard. I'll learn but have had some great headaches and chiropractic visits....

Works well and is easy to mount on both the trunk of our sedan and on the back of our SUV. Easily and securely carries both road and mountain bikes. Well engineered and built.
Saris Bones Truck Rack (2Bike)
By Dan
from Warner Robins, Ga
I used this to carry 1 relatively tall road bike on my Mazda RX8 and thought it was great. It was easy to install (although I quickly learned the trunk has to be slightly open to attach the hooks, then don't forget to close the trunk before tightening everything down!) Had to take the inside pedal off to ensure it didn't scrape the car. Otherwise the Saris Bones 2 bike truck rack is awesome!

This is a great topic terraforma. So many pros with lots of experience and so many noobs lookin' for help/support. In my gut I know I have what it takes to succeed, the problem is my husband thinks ceramics is a hobby not a profession and fears I will toil away for years with little money to show for it. We have had two buisness' in the past, so I know that a ceramic buisness like any other, takes time to grow. I have no problem with working hard, really hard, and paying my dues, the only problem is I've never been given the time for the seeds/dirt to make the garden. I was wondering if there are any out there who have succeeded when those closest weren't exactly onboard.
P.S. Fortunately God made me incredibly stubborn. I will not quit! I know what I was meant to do on this earth and I have no intentions of wasting that.
Won't ever be an Otto Heino that made 1.5 million a year at throwing excellent pottery with rare glaze colors. Now that I am retired, I make pots for myself, it self sustains, more than enough sell, the others are for me, friends and family. It will never earn me great riches, but makes my life rich.
thanks for the rely Pres. Otto Heino was a bad ass!
To anyone else, I was kinda hoping to hear from someone whose in a similar situaltion.
Hey Spring I hear you! you're telling my story. I will add to it that two years ago i had to de-rail from what I call now "my profession" in order to make my ends meet. I took a job as field interviewer for some kind of study about drugs, mental health, etc... only to realize I would have been better off doing my pottery all along without listening to the wise partner who highly "recommended" me to take a REAL job and do my pottery whenever I had some time left for me. Money-wise it didn't add up and was left penniless after quitting. Keep your stubbornness and resiliency and you will be far more happier.. Not to say I am rich now but happier... you bet!
Thanks Nelaceramics,
Your response really helped me out today, especially since I have to go look for a job and all I really want to do is create in clay!

yea well.. maybe your eyes are broken

true - it isn't like we won a superbowl or two with him there or anything like that. it isn't like our offense got MUCH better when he moved to LT...
[/quote]OK so now if you win a superbowl you're considered a GREAT player!?!?! Tell that to Trent Dilfer, cause he was a MINDBLOWING QB, LOL
We had to run away from the left side when he was in, and Eli was getting mauled from his blindside. Diehl lets up a TON of pressure on Eli when he's at LT but since he was on the OL when we won 2 SB's he's a good player??

Broadcom Falls 4% as Targets Rise: Wireless A Question Mark
Shares of chip maker Broadcom (BRCM) today closed down $1.38, or 4.4%, at $29.76, after the company yesterday afternoon reported Q1 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations, and projected revenue this quarter roughly in line with consensus.
In research from the Street today, the two parts of the business are quite a contrast: the traditional infrastructure business, selling chips to networking equipment makers and telecom suppliers, was quite healthy, analysts pointed out, while the wireless chip business struggled, with sales of so-called connectivity chips for WiFi under pressure, and uncertainty about the "baseband" wireless chip business, where Broadcom is going up against the entrenched supplier, Qualcomm (QCOM).
Estimates were going higher among most analysts, and price targets were increased by some.
There was one ratings change today, that I can see, from Needham & Co.'s Quinn Bolton, who cut his rating to Hold from Buy, writing that "Mobile & Wireless growth is now stalling out."
Bolton is concerned both with what he sees as the breakdown in the connectivity business, and the continued investment in the uncertain payoff of baseband:
A quarter ago, management was confident that its connectivity business would grow in 2014 given adoption of 2x2 MIMO and 5G WiFi. However, due to slowing shipments of premium smartphones where BRCM has predominant share, management is no longer confident in this growth outlook. We believe increasing competition from QCOM in the premium segment and the strong growth of mid- to low-end smartphones, which BRCM has largely failed to penetrate, are also contributing to the reduced connectivity outlook [...] Broadcom took an asset impairment charge related to its Renesas acquisition. Management now acknowledges that its prior goal of achieving $100MM+ in LTE baseband sales in 2014 will be challenging. Management provided greater than typical detail into its baseband roadmap, which includes a family of LTE Advanced thin modems and 64-bit SoCs, but this roadmap signals to us that management is not yet ready to throw in the towel on its baseband business. As we wait for the LTE ramp, the 3G baseband business continues to decline.
Stacy Rasgon, Bernstein Research: Reiterates an Outperform rating on the shares, and raises his price target to $35 from $33. "Broadcom delivered strong Q114 results, with revenue above consensus and close to the high end of guidance, with pro-forma EPS of $0.51 five cents above the Street on revenue and margin upside, and good opex control [...] The good news is that Broadcom's non-wireless businesses appear to be firing on all cylinders, both continuing to show upside into Q2 and making up for wireless shortfalls. However, the wireless business continues to be pressured [...] So what to do with the stock? Wireless actions remain frustrating. However, optionality remains; should LTE play out as the company expects, the stock will work. And, if LTE milestones increasingly come up dry, the prospect for exit should grow. In the meantime, estimates are likely going up a bit, the "good half" of the company is supporting the business while we wait, and the stock remains cheap. This one remains ugly, but we continue to recommend it." Rasgon raised his 2014 estimates to $8.5 billion and $2.53 per share from $8.48 billion, and $2.38.
Srini Pajjuri, CLSA: Reiterates an Outperform rating and a $34 price target. "Broadcom's Q1 results were slightly better while Q2 outlook was slightly weaker. Wireless segment posted an operating loss for the first time in years. Management's commentary suggests that the company is preparing to make a call on the loss-making baseband business in the not too distant future. Barring a flagship design win at Samsung, we think it's highly likely that the company exits by the end of the year. We see ~$2.25 in GAAP EPS power post a potential exit, and believe that the company can still grow in line with the Semi industry. BRCM will also have the option to diversify into more stable markets given its $5bn cash balance. At 9x EV/FCF, we see further upside to the stock whether the company succeeds in its baseband business or exits." Pajjuri cut his 2014 estimates to $8.34 billion and $2.55 per share from a prior $8.68 billion and $2.62 per share.
Romit Shah, Nomura Equity Research: Reiterates a Buy rating, and a $33 price target. "Broadband and networking should continue to grow, but mobile & wireless should decline slightly. Within mobile, connectivity should perform better than baseband given aggressive pricing for 3G basebands. Gross margin improves 75-175bps due to favorable mix, resulting in EPS guidance of $0.61 that is better than our estimate of $0.57 and consensus of $0.56. Broadcom started shipping dual-core LTE SoC and plans to tape out a new family of LTE-A products by summer. That said, management expects baseband revenue to be more back-end loaded this year than previously thought. We are lowering our expectation of baseband revenue (including 3G) this year from $800mn to $600mn. Furthermore, the company believes it will be difficult for the connectivity business to grow this year given the slowing of high-end smartphones. Despite generating an operating loss in the mobile & wireless business for the first time since 2009, management remains committed to this business until it sees how the design wins ramp into production in the second half. We continue to see a win-win scenario in wireless over the next 12 months with the company either gaining significant traction or disposing cellular, which would drive meaningful EPS accretion." Shah raised his EPS estimate for this year to $2.48 from $2.43 "to account for faster growth in broadband and networking."
Doug Freedman, RBC Capital Markets: Reiterates a Sector Perform rating, and raises his price target to $33 from $32. "We continue to view M&W as a 'wait and see' approach where Broadcom must strive to leverage existing relationship and sizable R&D efforts into eventual operating profits, once an LTE SoC becomes available in 2H14. Production ramps in the China market are necessary; however, Marvell appears to be winning early share in the region. The ultimate success for its M&W unit is predicated on LTE platform success, which would alleviate threat of material combo share loss." Freedman raised his 2014 estimates to $8.38 billion in revenue and $2.53 per share in net income from a prior $8.24 billion and $2.32.
David Wong, Wells Fargo: Reiterates a Market Perform rating, and increases his "valuation range" to $27 to $32 from a prior $25 to $30. "June quarter guidance reflected modest growth, improving gross margin and ongoing cost controls. However, we think that some of the details of Broadcom's report point to continuing risk in Broadcom's Mobile & Wireless division - Broadcom took a $5 million impairment charge associated with Renesas transaction, due to a reduction in revenue expectations. Broadcom noted that to achieve year over year growth in connectivity it will need strong sell through in the second half of the year." Wong maintains a 2014 revenue estimate of $8.53 billion while raising his EPS estimate to $1.47 from $1.30.
Hans Mosesmann, Raymond James: Reiterates a Market Perform rating. "Our concerns with Broadcom mainly relate to the Mobile & Wireless segment, which was unprofitable in 1Q14 and declined y/y for the third consecutive quarter. Incrementally for 2014, LTE design wins are now a back-end loaded, Connectivity may not grow, and 3G pricing is under pressure. Management seemed uncertain about its commitment to it LTE roadmap while disclosing a lineup of 64-bit SoC's that wouldn't hit the market until 2015. While a sizable portion of the Street would prefer them to exit the baseband business in short order, last night's commentary suggests that will not happen for at least another year. Thus, even if the company can deliver on its LTE roadmap and stabilize share in connectivity, shares would likely show little to no appreciation and may even move lower." Mosesmann raised his 2014 EPS estimate to $2.38 from $2.35, "reflecting improved trends in Broadband and Infrastructure."
Michael McConnell, Pacific Crest: Reiterates a Sector Perform rating. ". In the baseband market, Broadcom noted fierce price competition in the 3G and low end of the 4G market, as well as a lower sales outlook for the company's acquired Renesas division based on customer visibility. Regarding connectivity, while Broadcom remains upbeat on design win activity for its 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac platforms, it did note that expectations for smartphone unit sales have been lowered for the year; thus, year-over-year revenue growth in connectivity is less certain now versus the beginning of the year [...] Broadcom's high wireless exposure is likely to depress the company's stock multiple going forward. Nevertheless, we believe our Broadcom estimates are now at a trough with growth catalysts on the horizon, which presents a trading opportunity, in our view." McConnell raised his 2014 estimates from $8.465 billion and $2.53 per share to $8.52 billion and $2.58 per share.

In July 2002, NJDOT/OMR finalized negotiations with the USACE to begin work to deepen the channel to -41 feet and to transfer maintenance responsibility to the federal government. The project requires the removal of over 1.4 million cubic yards of material ranging in both quality and material type from clean sand to contaminated silt.
The project is divided into two major areas: the inner channel (between Global and MOTBY) and the outer channel (cutting across the Flats to the Anchorage Channel). Work on the 41 foot channel began in January of 2003 and is currently ongoing, with the outer channel expected to be finished in early 2008. Since the signing of the Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with the USACE, it has become apparent that the current channel alignment will not be adequate to bring in post-Panamax sized vessels.
Because the Harbor Navigation Project (50-foot project) is currently underway, the deepening the Port Jersey Channel to 50-feet will overlap the current 41-foot project. Therefore, it was considered prudent to deepen the 41-foot channel along the proposed 50-foot alignment.
The channel realignment, unfortunately, will require removal of a small portion (approximately 12 acres) of the Jersey Flats, an ecologically sensitive, important shallow water habitat. Flounder are known to utilize this area heavily for spawning. NJDOT/OMR and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) have recommended a mitigation strategy where material removed from the Flats will be used to recreate shallow water habitat in areas previously deepened for MOTBY. After extensive ecological evaluation, it was decided to use the south MOTBY channel for the habitat enhancement project. This channel will be filled in from its current depth of -35 feet to a final depth of -15 to -9 feet with only clean, HARS suitable, sediments. Work on this portion of the project is underway and can be viewed via this video clip.
Another environmental benefit came from the requirement to offset any air pollution (NOx) generated by the construction. Based on the success of the Port Authority of NY/NJ's tugboat repowering program, NJDOT contracted with the Port Authority to repower tugboats for the Port Jersey deepening. The Port Authority has contracted with two local boat operators to replace outdated, polluting engines in three boats with new, lesser polluting engines. The reduction in pollution (171 tons/yr NOx) will be enough to offset the pollution generated during the project. However, these boats are required to operate largely in the NY/NJ Harbor for at least 10 years, making the air we breathe cleaner long after the construction in complete.
Permits from the NJDEP and the USACE were obtained in 2005, but work was delayed due to the determination that the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners' outfall tunnel could be put into jeopardy by the project. The historic structure is a twelve foot diameter tunnel running from Newark, under Newark Bay, through Jersey City and Bayonne and out into New York Bay. It carries an average of 300 million gallons of treated effluent every day. The tunnel, completed early last century, includes a hand poured unreinforced concrete liner. There is no practical way to assess its condition. After almost two years of careful study, NJDOT/OMR and Parsons Brinkerhoff (under contract with NJDOT Design Services) have developed a plan to construct the project and keep the outfall tunnel safe. The material over the tunnel will be excavated in sections, backfilled to grade with crushed stone and capped with 5-inch thick steel plates. These plates will replace the weight that keeps the tunnel from moving. This work is not expected to begin until the late summer of 2009.
On July 11, 2007, the District Enginner executed a revised contract with NJDOT/OMR and the Port Authority of NY and NJ to complete the Port Jersey Channel. The next phase of work, removal of more than 3 million cubic yards from the entire channel length (excepting around the PVSC tunnel) is currently under contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock. This phase is expected to be largely complete by the end of 2009.

Phase II Action Plan Complete
South Jersey Port Inland
Distribution Network (SJ PIDN) Phase II
In SJ PIDN Phase I, five prospective sites were screened for their
appropriateness for PIDN development and one site was identified as
the most suitable for potential at this time. The purpose of Phase
II of this study is to further define the development of a PIDN site
in South Jersey. Phase II will lead to the development of an Action/Business
Plan that will more concretely specify the requirements necessary
for the establishment of a SJ PIDN with the Camden/northern Gloucester
area as the focus of current SJ PIDN service development. Salem will
continue to be reviewed as a possible secondary SJ PIDN service location
in the future.

How have airlines reduced maintenance costs while delivering higher levels of service? Where do the gaps exist in their MRO supply chains? PwC's global MRO supply chain benchmarking study provides insights into these questions and more.
Airline companies are increasing their focus on their supply chains to lower related maintenance costs while delivering higher service levels. In particular, MRO executives are looking to better understand the performance gaps that exist within their supply chains, and the opportunities that may result from improving their effectiveness.
Advancing aviation provides useful insight into global MRO supply chain performance and practices. In addition to comparing aviation participants against their industry peers, the study unveils areas in their operation requiring corrective action.
This study is supported by several large global MRO organizations, airlines, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The original analysis was conducted in 2011, and since then, additional participants have been included to refresh the data and expand upon the findings. We hope the information serves as a useful tool for supporting your organization's MRO supply chain strategy.

5 Steps to Selling Video Verification
Here are five steps to help you sell video verification to your clients.
Scott Duncan January 9, 2014
Your end user is ready to sign the dotted line; they've done their due diligence and believe your company is trustworthy and can provide exactly what they need. They have decided on an intrusion alarm system that provides the peace of mind they want at the price point they require. Now is the moment to capitalize on this trust and offer them one additional component that dramatically enhances their system: video verification. Here are five steps to take:
1. Ask. While it may seem almost too simple, just asking your alarm client if they know of or are interested in video verification can easily open the door to upselling. They may not know enough about it to feel comfortable asking you and they could be waiting for you to bring it up. You won't know unless you ask.
2. Show. There's nothing more powerful that watching a crime in progress to demonstrate the stark difference between video-verified and non-video-verified surveillance. Cue up footage from an existing client that shows a triggering event and include footage showing a false-positive. Let them see first-hand what they are missing with a basic alarm system.
3. Understand. It's important to understand the motivators driving your clients' interest in security. Are they motivated by fear? Are they motivated by price? Are they motivated by an everyone-else-is-doing-it mentality? Clients are often looking for the shortest police response time and the most security they can afford; video verification is a natural upsell to meet both needs.
4. Inform. There may come a day when law enforcement won't respond to alarm calls unless they are verified by video. As of now, the response time for verified and unverified video is significantly different with verified alarms receiving a Priority 1 response and traditional alarms marked as Priority 3. Explain this difference to your client and lay out what that time difference can mean in terms of property damage, theft, etc.
5. Encourage. Technology has changed rapidly and it's easier than ever to have a robust security system that utilizes the latest technology while fitting into budget constraints. The challenges facing new technology have changed with significant improvements in the cellular network resulting in improved resolution and color images. Encourage your clients to stay away from old technology that doesn't meet their needs efficiently.

text: In May the Hubam Clover I planted started growing like crazy, it started blooming two or three weeks ago, and now most of it is tall enough to almost reach my shoulders, and I'm 6'4". After worrying that it wasn't growing like it should, everything looks great, except for the fact that the bees aren't working it. At most I've seen two or three honey bees on it. I've seen other bugs on it at different times, but not the honey bees. It has been very dry here this year and it is only getting worse. Has anyone else every had this experience? I thought sweet clover was pretty much a sure bet.

Little Company of Mary Hospital hosted an orthopedic community conference entitled "Achy Breaky Parts" on Monday, June 10, 2013. This one-day orthopedic conference was led by a team of Little Company of Mary's orthopedic specialists and included a vitamin D screening.
Drs. Basel Al-Aswad, Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics, Chaudri Salman, D.O., Sujal Desai, D.O., William Earman, D.O., and Lynn Cahill, R.N., M.S, provided the most current information about arthritis, osteoporosis, joint replacement, knee replacement prosthetics, anterior approach hip replacement, back health, and fracture prevention.
The latest evidence based treatments; skilled physicians and surgeons, specialized nursing care and progressive orthopedic technology can be found at Little Company of Mary Hospital. Little Company of Mary's Orthopedic Department has provided interdisciplinary collaborative care from admission through discharge for more than 40 years.
At the conference Little Company of Mary proudly announced the launch of the Geriatric Fracture Program (GFP)- the only one of its kind in the Chicagoland area. The multidisciplinary GFP, is designed to optimally diagnose and treat hip fractures in geriatric patients. The goal of the Geriatric Fracture Program is to quickly identify geriatric hip fracture patients and then transition them into surgery to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications. It is documented that the longer a patients waits for a hip fracture surgery, their chances of increased complications increases exponentially.
Dr. Basel Al-Aswad ,Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics, has been a champion of the GFP. According to Dr. Al-Aswad, "We have been very encouraged by the program's initial results. Time from admission to surgery has been cut in half, thus reducing the risks of complications. The GFP enhances and streamlines the care we already provide. It can be used as a model for the care of other types of diagnoses."
The national statistics for geriatric bone fractures are compelling:

Over 130 dogs seized in animal cruelty investigation
The Cass County Sheriff's Office, in cooperation with the Pine River Police Department, the Animal Humane Society and Heartland Animal Rescue Team in Baxter, seized 102 dogs and 29 puppies from a Pine River business July 16 following a three- to four-month long county investigation that results from complaints.
"We had received complaints, and after an ongoing investigation we had enough probable cause to obtain a search warrant and that's what got us where we were the other day," said Cass County Sheriff Tom Burch.
A story by Paul Walsh with The Star Tribune alleges that the animals were seized from kennels owned by Deborah and Richard Rowell. In that story, Animal Humane Society investigator Wade Hanson said the dogs were living in wet conditions and one of the animals was found dead.
The Rowells' attorney, Stephen Grigsby, said the animal was dead of natural causes related to old age, not mistreatment, according to the Star Tribune story. In the story, Grigsby said conditions at the kennel were constantly changing, and "Taking a snapshot out of this woman's life ... gives a false impression of the woman that she is."
The story also documents neighborhood complaints of wandering dogs, hazardous living conditions and suspicious noises at night.
There have already been people interested in adopting or checking the condition of the seized animals.
"We have gotten a lot of calls that people think they may be here at the shelter. We did not bring any back to our shelter," said Donna Wambeke, HART executive director.
All of the animals were sent to the metro area where they will be held until the investigation into the case can progress. Until such a time, the animals will be kept safe but cannot be adopted. According to the Animal Humane Society, the dogs have been put into quarantine and cannot be approached or photographed at this time.
"The criminal aspect could dictate what happens there, so they'll be held until we know where the investigation goes," Burch said. "There's still some leads to follow up and the investigation is still being conducted."
Further details were unavailable pending further investigation. The Rowells are not making any comments at this time, according to a worker at the riding stables owned by the Rowells.
Anyone with information to share for this investigation is encouraged to contact the Cass County Sheriff's Office at 218-547-1424.

Bewertungen für diese Unterkunft
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Paris. Die Wohnung ist perfekt für einen Städtetrip. Ich würde sie auf jeden Fall wieder in Anspruch nehmen! Jean war sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Sehr zu empfehlen :)
We had a wonderful stay in Paris. The location was very close to the subway and to champs elysee. Jean-Michel was extraordinary friendly and spoke very well English. In the studio was extra information for all available tools also for checkout. It was clean and tidy and nicely equipped. We already endorsed the studio to one of our friends who's planning a trip to Paris too. We were greatly satisfied and happy to have such a nice place to stay.
The apartment was very clean, cozy and lovely!
Near to all important places like Eiffel tower, Champs Elysée, many restaurants and bars!
If you want to be at the heart of action, this apartment is great for your stay!
The host was very kind and helpful. You can always message him and he's involved to answer soon!
We'll definitely recommend this apartment and we're hoping to return soon!
My wife and I stayed in the studio for three weeks and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The studio is small but big enough to live in. The location could not be better. It is very close to two Metro stations, many shops and restros. The studio is very secure indeed. Our hosts were fantastic in every way, never hesitating to assist us when required. We go to Paris very often and will not hesitate to use the studio again.
I had a great time in the place . The room wad bigger than my expect and wifi was quite well. :) I recommend this place.
It was a lovely stay in Paris. A room is perfect for two. Location is absolutely convenient to reach Metro, Supermarket, Resturants or even Tour Eiffel. Also host is very nice, easy and helpful on information.
Very nice small apartment with all necessary amenities, in a good localization in the city. Lots of shops, restos & a market in a proximity. No problem with check-in and -out. We recommend!

I hope Chris Brown and Rihanna make it this time around. They were both very young before. Its been 4 years, its time to move on. Deal with your own abuse issues in your live and stop projecting it onto the lives of others. Both Rihanna and Chris are well grown now,althouth still young, they know what they want. Its their lives. Chris Brown has done alot to turn his life around with his organization that helps youth deal with domestic violence and all and he's living his life. Get over it already. You people don't know how to let someone move on. Why the freak are you so concerned with reminding people what happened. We are all aware of what happened well over 4 yrs ago as well as many of us are aware of th strides Chris Brown has taken to made a change in the things he's done. He is still young, give him some credit for trying and stop condemning this man. Deal with your own insecurites and problems in your own life and stop projecting your issues onto their lives. Rihanna more than anyone knows what Chris Brown is like, she has chosen to forgive him, they both seem to love each other and they seem happy together and thats whats important. Whatever happens with their lives in the future its their business. They are going to do WTF they want irregardless of your negative opinion or others. Deal wth it! Live with it! or better yet, Get a life of your own and stopy worrying about these people's lives and what they do or how they live it. Get a life of your own, do yourself that favor! Find a man of your own to worry about

Rihanna is "RICH", smart, beautiful, sexy, and someone I would call a real model (5'8″) tall. What about those beautiful long legs and beautiful hazel green eyes………..She is very articulate and expresses herself extremely well. When it comes to generational wealth and being equally yolked she is someone I would want to have in my corner. She has money and fame and she loves Chris Brown unconditionally and is not after his money. On the other hand, you have Karrueche Tran. She is the typical vietnamese that really hates black people but love back people money. She is poor and uneducated, and she will do anything for Chris Brown's money. I predict that she will get pregnant very soon in order for him to take care of her for the rest of her life (alimony and child support). Chris Brown is only 23 years old and I hope that someone gives him the proper guidance so that he will not be trapped and have baby mamas everywhere because his success will not last forever. Rihanna has worked extremely hard for her success and she deserves to have the best!!!!!!! I love you RiRi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, lets hope not! Chris is not that stupid to get Karrueche pregnant please. That women is dangerous, a women that is 23 years age and don't work in a pie shop, I just wonder whats in HER mine now, her and those hood-rat friends of her's. I wonder whats next with WONDER WOMEN! MAYBE SHE WORKING NEW YEAR'S! HUH! MONEY MAKE YOU SOME CRAZY THINGS!

The laid-back greater Newfoundland and Labrador region is a natural backdrop for Canada's most popular sports. Even right in the heart of St. John's, you won't have any trouble finding any sports-related club or activities within the city.
Although you're always more likely to find ice hockey, rugby and association soccer events in the area, the sport of tennis still has an incredible following within the province. Newfoundland and Labrador are home to several clubs and associations dedicated to tennis. All of them naturally aim to spread awareness about the greatness of tennis as a sport and a hobby.
On tennis
Tennis, as a sport, possesses nuances unfounded among people that don't play. Not to say that people who aren't into tennis can't learn how to play—because they can. There are, however, some aspects that you won't understand until you're actually out on the court and playing.
That's what we're here for—to teach readers like you what it means to play tennis and how to become much better at playing tennis. Part of the journey, when it comes to learning about playing tennis, involves becoming a well-rounded or complete tennis player.
Becoming a complete anything takes a lot of work, but it's the journey there that makes all of us much more fulfilled than if we didn't take the trip.
So, can you become a complete tennis player?
Complete tennis players can apply themselves to any situation when in play, whether playing offensively or defensively, since they know how to approach hitting a wide variety of shots. These players pretty much know several different techniques – like aggressive baselining, defensive slicing, serve and volley – and subsequently chose a technique for the play that best suits it.
When you're playing tennis, much like any other sport, there will be a wide variety of situations where you have to choose what works best, otherwise whatever you pick might not work at all. Players who manage to become versatile in play, hide their weaknesses and challenge their opponents end up becoming well-rounded players.
So, can you become a well rounded tennis player, too? What does it even mean to become well-rounded?
Becoming well-rounded in tennis
The element that separates most players from becoming 'mechanically well-rounded' and well-rounded is a term that's known as application. If you can mentally apply what you know to how you physically interpret that knowledge, you can become more well-rounded through your hard work. It might sound complicated, but it's a lot more simple than you think.
To give you a head start, here's our take on the four qualities of becoming a well-rounded and complete tennis player. If you already seen some of these qualities in your style of play, think about them and about how you can improve what you already know.
Learn to serve better.
The best tennis players can hit any serve that comes right at them and hit different types of serves—flat, slice, topspin, you name it. Better players mix it up with serves that are unpredictable for opponents, preventing them from figuring out when the bounce comes back at them.
Hit a high return rate.
Even though you can serve, you have to bounce it back, too. If you stay aggressive on serve returns, you can potentially drive your opponent out of their comfort zone, hold your own and threaten a service break.
Use everything you know to get ahead.
The best players manage to keep their weaknesses to themselves and off the court. Part of this involves using every aspect of your game to, well, keep you in the game. Hit both forehands and backhands, locate and exploit your opponent's weaknesses, keep your footwork up—and don't let them see through your play. Use everything you know to get ahead in the game.
Work on your footwork.
Playing tennis isn't just about working on your swings, it's also about keeping up your footwork. The best swings come from the foundation that comprises your own feet. Practice getting into the right position through your footwork to produce a good swing and keep up with your opponent.
Although the tennis season is wrapping up until the next rolls around, there's still plenty of time left to practice. As long as you remember what it takes to be a well-rounded player, there's nothing stopping you from actually becoming one.

Take a course in person from a reputable trainer, they can be found at any shooting range or ask and you will get refered. online is worst then the ten minute classes they give here in florida at gunshows,
carrying concealed is tricky business, take a basic NRA pistol class offered in every state , this will cover you for Va, Az, Fl right instructor maybe Utah, they are all very easy to get on your own once you have the basic pistol class, get your fingerprints at the local sheriff or police dept and you are good to go with a check to cover the processing fee's
I have been trained by the best, I would not want you in the same room during a shooting with a person who only had a on-line training course as your only level of training, we would both go to jail. even without me being there, when you get arrested and you will, and you tell them this is your training you will not make bail
heck florida only requires a basic hunter safety course or military discharge and/or NRA pistol class
do this right

Let's be honest here, smartphone innovation has become a bit stale in recent months. Granted, we've seen lots of new devices with new ideas in recent months, including Windows 8 phones, larger displays, edge-to-edge screens, LTE, bla bla bla… but aside from these new features, they all look and feel pretty much the same.
So it's good to know we can always look to Russia for something truly novel – in this case, a new handset from Yota Devices that offers a totally mad and unique new feature; not one, but two displays!
The new dual-screen smartphone device will feature a traditional LCD touchscreen on the front, with all the functionality typical of Android phones, plus an E-Ink display on the back – just like the kind you get on Kindle's e-Reader.
Yota Devices says that the main benefit of its revolutionary dual-screen design will be to save power, giving users as much as 50% more battery life, they claim, by rerouting static information from the LCD screen to the second, less power-hungry E-ink display.
"This will be the first time that people will be able to personalize the information they want to receive on their phones in an effortless way," says Vlad Martynov, CEO of Yota Devices, in a statement.
"You tell YotaPhone what information you want and when you want it. It becomes your personal assistant reminding you of what's important to you."
Surprisingly, despite its far-out design, the YotaPhone doesn't look to shabby. The LCD display measures 4.3 inches across and boasts a resolution of 720×1280. The device is backed by the power of a Snapdragon 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM, while it contains a not-to-be sneered at 32GB of storage space. It also comes with an onboard LTE connection, and a decent looking 12MP camera to boot. And for those who worry themselves about the whole 'chunkiness' thing, even with two screens the device manages to keep itself in trim, measuring just 10mm thick. Compare that to the alternative – a Galaxy SIII glued to the back of a Kindle, and you'll agree that's a pretty decent achievement.
Naturally, there will be plenty of doubters. Yota Devices isn't exactly the most trusted brand around, what with the whole Russian thing and everything, and of course, many will question why the hell you would need two screens anyway.
But even so, sometimes crazy ideas like this just catch on for no reason other than the fact that, well, they're crazy.
As Alexander Malis, President of Euroset, put it to The Moscow News:
"The second black-and-while screen is a funky thing, but useless. But, sometimes funky stuff sells well."
And he forgets to mention that we've all been guilty of buying plenty of 'useless' stuff in the past.

Poor documentation threw doubt on any logical explanation
for a double drowning that involved electricity
After returning from a trip around a lake in the eastern U.S. and docking the twin-hull pontoon boat they were riding in, three boys decided to jump in for a swim. The afternoon dip turned tragic, though, when two of the boys seized up as soon as they entered the water, reportedly paralyzed by electric current in the water. Unable to move, they drowned. The third boy was pulled to safety by a friend.

Texas-San Antonio quarterback Eric Soza. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 5:50 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
Perhaps it is unfair to say that Texas-San Antonio football goes as quarterback Eric Soza goes, but that's certainly the way things have played out on paper.
The second-year program, in its first season in the Football Bowl Subdivision, zoomed out to a 5-0 start.
Then Soza got hurt early in a game against Rice on Oct. 13, the first of what has become four consecutive losses for the Roadrunners.
"It's a tale of two seasons for them, really," said McNeese head coach Matt Viator. "When they've had their quarterback, and when they haven't."
Granted, the schedule has also ramped up considerably now that the Roadrunners are in the heart of Western Athletic Conference play. Two wins came against Division II opponents and two were against fellow start-ups Georgia State and South Alabama.
"The first five were nice wins, but not the same caliber we've played last few weeks," said Roadrunners coach Larry Coker.
Soza returned in last week's 51-27 loss to No. 22 Louisiana Tech, but threw for 314 yards and four touchdowns in a game that was competitive until the final 7 minutes.
"It was really surprising he was a sharp as he was," Coker said. "He just had an outstanding game. He brings leadership and experience. It's just one of those things where your quarterback can make the rest of the guys better and he made the rest of our guys better."
Soza rarely gives opponents the opportunity to hurt him. He's thrown 15 touchdowns against one interception, and the Roadrunners have allowed a league-low six sacks.
"His ability to get ball into hands of playmakers, his ability to avoid sacks (make him special)," Coker said. "Guys play well around him because they know he can do his job."
Coker, who won a national championship at Miami (2001), said the UTSA program is making big strides since last season's 24-21 loss to McNeese in Lake Charles.
"I think we've grown a great deal," he said. "There's a lot of things we don't have. We don't have our facilities complete. But we've got a very fine stadium in the Alamodome. Last year the players said 'We're not strong enough' and have dedicated themselves to the weight room. … Are we there yet, no? But we're going in the right direction."

You can see it on his college tape.... just insane.
Nobody in the current draft crop comes close to this dude's destructive energy.
So much for the idea that "today's athlete" could blow away the all-time greats......LT would still come in and completely dominate anything the NFL threw at him....because he had the same attitude that Jim Brown had when he was running the ball, or Ty Cobb had when he was at the plate.

Movie Review: Closed Circuit

Everyone's watching everyone in courtroom thriller Closed Circuit, starring Eric Bana.

Director: John Crowley
Rating: R
Studio: Working Title Films
Stars: Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Ciarán Hinds
Surveillance cameras lurking on every street corner and in every building to snoop on our every move. Digital data of our every word and utterance not-so-secretly captured for others to sift and parse. Our emails, searches, reading material and viewing preferences monitored and evaluated. It's the new world order of high alert, constant conflict, incessant peeping and trials behind closed doors, and there's no turning back. In the war between survival and national security, a police state reigns and personal privacy is dead and buried. Everyone's watching everyone in Closed Circuit, a new courtroom thriller meant to seem timely and terrifying but feeling like very old news, especially after the secret hearings of the Chelsea Manning trial and conviction and the ongoing NSA controversy. What a shame, too, considering the movie's pedigree that includes a screenplay by Steven Knight (Eastern Promises), the directorial eye of John Crowley (Boy A) and a cast that includes Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Jim Broadbent, Ciarán Hinds, Julia Stiles and the like. But, in the end, Closed Circuit is a predictable, painfully serious and clumsily written meant-to-be throwback to the golden era of paranoid political thrillers like Three Days of the Condor and The Parallax View, let alone more recent ones like the smart, knowing BBC series Edge of Darkness. At least Bana is less sullen and chilly than usual playing a Brit attorney charged with defending an immigrant (Denis Moschitto) who has been accused of planning the shocking terrorist bombing of a busy Borough Market in London—a jangling, excellent sequence that opens the film. Appointed to the same case by Attorney General Broadbent (hamming it up) is Hall, who just happens to be the woman with whom the depressed, disillusioned Bana wrecked his own marriage. You'd certainly never know it from Bana and Hall's scenes together, in which they generate zero romantic or erotic heat. Every plot twist and turn, every dialogue-heavy scene, every camera setup and music cue merely ticks off a series of standard genre boxes that find our hero and heroine discovering that they and fellow cast members are merely chess pieces in a game that is not only thoroughly corrupt but also goes straight to the top echelons of MI5. With its implicit cynicism about the mess in which we find ourselves, Closed Circuit is full of justified rage and noble intentions. But it's also so talky, meandering, polite and flatly directed that it's a clunker. The only eyes that may be on this one are those of the closed-circuit cameras in the theater.
