Blockbusters all over the place – but how are they doing?
While studios jockey (and sometimes bicker) for position as the box office champs of the weekend or the biggest comedy of the year or whatever, it's important to maintain some perspective. As this New York Times story shows nothing aside from 1997's Titanic comes close to any claim as an all-time box office hit when… Continue reading Blockbusters all over the place – but how are they doing?
Ratings system gets it wrong – again
Eric Zorn at the Chicago Tribune is wondering why Once from Fox Searchlight, which features just a few conversational F-bombs and no other objectionable content, is rated R. Such a rating, of course, limits the audience and creates a stigma around the movie. The answer, of course, is that the MPAA's ratings board thinks bad… Continue reading Ratings system gets it wrong – again

Mine 1.6
I didn't want them to come, those two almost-strangers sitting beside me as I waited for my ultrasound. Lying on my back, I closed my eyes as the technician applied the lubricating gel to my stomach. The touch of the gel shot a shiver down my spine, its cold and slimy fingers reaching out to embrace my swollen belly. I tried to loosen the stiffness of my fingers, uncurling them from the unnatural clench that they were in. It was no use to appear strange and incapable, not after what they suggested over the phone a few nights earlier. I eased my bloodless lips into a smile, trying hard to merge those two strange faces into that of Chris'. The smooth touch of the detector on my stomach shocked me, and I craned my neck up to try and see past those two heads blocking the screen.
She was there, as perfect as ever, her familiar outline dominating the screen. I could see the silhouette of her hands, moving through the void of my womb as though trying to weave a hello. She was much bigger than how she was in my first ultrasound, her body now curled against the curve of my stomach. I followed her tiny movements on the screen, the black and white images completing the presence of her as I felt her foot kicking inside me. She was perfect, from the crown of her head to her smallest toes, and they noticed just as much.
"Isn't she lovely?" crooned that woman, and I felt an absurd surge of hatred towards her for interrupting my moment.
"Look at those tiny hands," said the man, his hands clutching his wife's, "I think she'll have your slender fingers and silk soft palms."
"Together with your nose, of course," she said, pointing to the turning image of my baby, "I hope she has your green eyes."
I bit down hard on my lips as they continued their talk, angry at them for hurting me with their words and annoyed at myself for even caring. She was theirs after all, no matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise. Yes, the original copy of her first ultrasound was still pinned to the door of my fridge, the blurry outline of her body reminding me so much of my own Mika. Yes, I did make up a list of names, romantic names taken from famous novels especially for her. Yes, I was the world to her for that moment, the one who nurtured her life. Yet all this didn't make me her mother, just another of those aptly named "gestational carriers" who had no control. As I looked at the couple in front of me crooning over their unborn child, the baby lying in my belly, I realised what an idiot I was.
"You are feeling well, Ms Conry?" asked the woman, her eyes shining with love for my baby, "Jacinta's not being too much of a burden?"
"Jacinta?" I asked, confused, then realised that they had named my baby, "No, she's a good girl. A perfect girl."
"Great," said the man awkwardly, his hands still wrapped around his wife's, "If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to contact us."
"No, I'm good," I said, sitting up and nodding words of thanks to the ultrasound technician, "The obstetrician said my... your baby's healthy so all seems well."
They seemed to be at a lost as to what they should reply, and I turned away in pretence of fixing up my gown so that I didn't have to watch them. It was as though each second I saw them made me disliked them more, even though they were innocent and I was the one who agreed to get into this mess in the first place. Finally I shuffled towards the door, and the man stepped over to open it for me. I nodded a stiff thank-you to him and marched out, ignoring the eyes of waiting mothers-to-be on the little procession that followed me. I guess not many people would take an ultrasound with the biological parents of their child, being a third wheel that couldn't escape. As I finished talking to the lady at the reception and confirming my address plus theirs so that the films could be mailed to us, the woman stepped forward.
"Thank you," she said simply, her eyes saying it all.
"It's ok," I whispered, then turned around to leave.
It was as though I was afraid she could see right through me, could see that my words held no more truth than Pinocchio's lies. I was afraid that she could see that's it's not ok for me at all.

I found a new book for back to school... The Night Before Preschool by Natasha Wing! How exciting is this a book about all the feelings and emotions a child has the night before the first day of PRESCHOOL. It is on my lesson plans for the first day of school. I am beyond excited to share this book for Book Talk Tuesday!
It begins with a little boy named Billy reading a book in bed with his dad the night before preschool. There are rhyming words in the text too!
The kids dream all about preschool but the boy can't go to sleep. He is worried. What a great feeling to talk about! So many kids (and teachers) have worries about things that are new.
He goes to school and was "feeling shy" hiding behind his mom and he meet his teacher.
The kids sang songs and played dress up. Then Billy watches the other kids play, without joining in just like so many of our kids do the first week of school.
His teacher cheers him up and Billy makes a dinosaur picture. The kids have snack and go outside. Then comes nap...Billy can't sleep because he left his teddy at home. Oh no! His friend shares her bunny with him! That makes him feel better and he falls asleep with a smile on his face. After nap the kids play games. Moms and dads arrive and the school day was over. He walks out the door saying "I'll be back. Preschool is FUN!"
Don't be worry kindergarten teachers and 1st grade teachers there is a book for your grade too! I read this book at the end of the year to my pre-k friends to help ease the transition to kindergarten. This series also has books about the night before various holidays! My favorite holiday book is The Night Before Valentine's Day!

Thanks so much for reading to the end! Here is the GIVEAWAY!

It looks like we were correct in our analysis of Doug Martin. Early into camp Martin is impressing the coaching staff and players. "He made some explosive runs (Sunday) where you really see why they drafted him so high," guard Davin Joseph said. "He reminds you of a Ray Rice or Maurice Jones-Drew. He's very crafty and he really understands the run game."
The difficult part of the NFL is the mental aspect and Martin has already picked up on Schiano's philosophy and offensive game plan. Having been tutored under Boise State Coach Peterson and his pro style offense Martin is well grounded and prepared to handle the terminology of an NFL playbook. Look for Martin to make an immediate impact and play a significant role in the Buc's offense.
Buc's Coach Schiano, who coached Rice at Rutgers, sees a lot of similarities and believes Martin can handle a heavy workload in the NFL. "I think what allows him to have a chance is he is a stout guy," Schiano said. "If he was 5-9, 185, I would say not. He's close to 220 pounds. He's pretty rocked up." Martin is quick to the line of scrimmage and can make sharp cuts. He can power through arm tackles and can also catch the ball. These abilities should lead to a productive rookie season.

Once upon a time, Audiosurf was briefly RPS' favourite game ever (although not in the case of John, who only likes beat-free music featuring men with nasal American accents*. Or Jim, who doesn't like emotions). We put in our songs, we turned them into blissfully surreal racetracks/match-3 puzzles, we fought endlessly for higher scores to prove we knew our most beloved songs better than anyone else did. And then we stopped. Why? Oh, there's probably an essay in that, but the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, basically.
I earnestly hope that newly-announced sequel Audiosurf Air will bring about a new fever for digital synesthesia, though: I have almost a half-year of new music that was never Audiosurfed, all manner of new colour-explosions, rollercoaster drops and giddy undulations potentially awaiting me.

I haven't looked that far into yet. It's got to be either backwards upstairs at the subpanel, or in the basement where they tapped off of the main panel. The first thing that I want to do is to install a switched light in that area so I don't need a flashlight. Later today I'm going to look and see how it's wired in the basement.

Report: VW Hopes Employee Snitching Will Solve Diesel Scandal
Potential whistleblowers have until the end of the month to come forward with any information that might help with the investigation.
Most of the VW diesel emissions scandal coverage has focused on high-profile resignations and the unbelievably tall cost of this fallout. But what about the employees? What's been going on with them?
Well, Bob Lutz is pinning all of this on Ferdinand Piëch. He calls Piëch's management style a "reign of terror and a culture where performance was driven by fear and intimidation." Lutz has no problem imagining Piëch coercing the VW engineering team into passing diesel emissions regulations by any means possible.
But, if this report from Automotive News Europe is true, things could change. Citing and translating from German newspaper, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Automotive News Europe reports that Volkswagen has given staff members until the end of November to come forward and relinquish what inside knowledge they have regarding the scandal to aid investigators.
This whistleblower program is designed to encourage lower-ranking employees to say something without fearing for their job security. As Automotive News Europe reports:
VW is promising staff they will keep their jobs and will be exempt from damage claims if they shed light on the scandal, but board members and levels of management directly below the board are excluded from the scheme.
What better way to find dirt on a company than to start digging around inside, right? If this program goes the way it's supposed to, we'll probably see a lot more names getting dragged out into the light.

More Newtons: Monsters Unleashed
At the time other publishers such as Gredown and Planet were making inroads with their horror magazines in Australia and the Dracula book was also selling fairly well (we know this because it survived the restructure), so it made perfect sense for Newton to get in on the horror trend.
The bulk of this information comes from Peter Ivan, who supplied scans and content information for the first three issues. Thanks Peter - it's people like you, who together with a few others, are invaluable when it comes to completing the information required for the Newton line.
Date: December 1975
Werewolf Tale To End All Werewolf Tales by Hodge(?) (Journey Into Unknown Worlds #29)
Web of Hate by Tony Isabella & Dave Cockrum (Monsters Unleashed #4)
A Monster Reborn by Steve Gerber & Pablo Marcos (Monsters Unleashed #4)
To Love, Honor, Cherish ... 'til Death by Chris Claremont & Don Perlin (Monsters Unleashed #4)
The Monster Maker by Tony Isabella (Monsters Unleashed #4)
Our Martian Heritage by Chris Claremont (Monsters Unleashed #4)
All the Faces of Fear by Tony Isabella & Vincenze Alcazar (Monsters Unleashed #5)
Demon of Slaughter Mansion by Don McGregor & Juan Biox (Monsters Unleashed #5)
Darkflame by Gerry Conway & Carlo Freixas (Monsters Unleashed #6)
Dinosaur Dictionary (Monsters Unleashed #6)
The first issue of Monsters Unleashed used the cover to Monsters Unleashed (USA) #5. There were no freebies or premiums in these comics, they were basic horror magazines.
Date: February 1976
The Monster In The Mist by Al Williamson (Astonishing #60)
Always A Monster by Doug Moench & Val Mayerick (Monsters Unleashed #6)
Bleeding Stones by Doug Moench & Vincenze Alcazar (Monsters Unleashed #7)
Blind Man's Bluff by Gerry Conway & Carlo Freixas (Monsters Unleashed #7)
Madness Under a Mid-summer Moon by Gerry Conway (Monsters Unleashed #7)
The Jewel That Snarled at Slight Greed by Doug Moench & Don Perlin (Monsters Unleashed #9)
The Conscience of the Creature by Doug Moench & Val Mayerick (Monsters Unleashed #9)
Now this issue gets interesting. The cover appears to be a variant on the cover for Monsters Unleashed (USA) #1. I hope that someone out there can clear this up and tell me exactly where this cover appeared in it's original format. Both covers are signed by Gray Morrow, so that might be a decent enough clue.
Date: March 1976
The Serenity Stealers by Tony Isabella, Chris Claremont & Tony DeZuniga (Monsters Unleashed #10)
A Tale Of Two Monsters by Doug Moench & Val Mayerick (Monsters Unleashed #7)
One Hungers by Neal Adams (Monsters Unleashed #8)
A Martian Genesis by Tony Isabella, Doug Moench, George Perez, Duffy Vohland & Rich Buckler (Monsters Unleashed #8)
Swamp Stars of the Silver Screen (Monsters Unleashed #8)
Snowbird In Hell by Chris Claremont & Yong Montano (Monsters Unleashed #9)
With this issue, the last of the numbered issues, the cover again appears to be a variant, this time it appeared on Monsters Unleashed (USA) #2. However the variation on this cover is simply a poor reproduction job with none of the sharpness that defined the original Boris cover. This was the last issue of the magazine in it's original format, it would see one more un-numbered issue later in 1976.
Date: (circa) August 1976
The Invisible Man by Ron Goulart, Val Mayerik & Dan Adkins (Supernatural Thrillers #2)
The Man Who Cried Werewolf by Gerry Conway & Pablo Marcos (Monsters Unleashed! #1)
Monsters From The Sea by Tony Isabella & Ernie Chau (Monsters Unleashed #8)
Dig Me No Grave by Roy Thomas, Gil Kane & Tom Palmer (Journey Into Mystery #1)
Birthright by Roy Thomas, Gil Kane & Crusty Bunkers (Monsters Unleashed! #3)
Terror Toons by Stu Schwartzberg (Masters Of Terror #2)
The Music Of Erich Zann by Roy Thomas & Johnny Craig (Chamber Of Darkness #5)
His Own Kind by Roy Thomas, Val Mayerik & Mike Esposito (Haunt Of Horror #1)
The Last Man by Russ Heath (Haunt Of Horror #1)
Lifeboat by Gerry Conway & Jesus Blasco (Monsters Unleashed! #2)
To Love, Honor, Cherish ... 'til Death by Chris Claremont & Don Perlin (Monsters Unleashed! #4)
Thunderbird by Tony Isabella & Ernie Chau (Monsters Unleashed! #6)
I have no idea where the cover for this book came from and I will get around to replacing the scan very soon with a better one. There's no signature on the cover and it certainly doesn't come from the USA Monsters Unleashed titles, nor did it appear on either of the two Masters Of Terror titles. The bulk of the contents in this issue appear to be from Masters Of Terror #2 and Monsters Unleashed Annual #1, both of which were reprint books in the USA. I'm thinking this because too many stories in appear in both this book and the USA books and it'd stand to reason that they'd have come from those sources, or that the stories prepared for those two books were then sent to Newton who made this issue up. Also the one page gag, Terror Toons, only appeared in Masters Of Terror #2.
This is one of the rarest Newtons there is by all accounts. At the time of writing amongst the hardcore Newton collectors only two copies of this has surfaced. One is presumably in a collection in the USA as it appears on a comic book price guide site (hilarious inaccurate information by the way) and the copy I now have in my collection. I can say with authority that this book is way at the top of any Newton collectors list. Again, there's no posters as such in this issue, but there are full page pin-ups for Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Thor and Deadly Hands Of Kung-Fu. These pin-ups are merely cover images without the logos or blurb, in black and white.
4 comments:
Terrific to finally view all the covers and contents to this series including the ultra-rare special and the variant #2 cover.
I think Marvel sometimes would commission a cover from the artist then reject it or alter it but keep the proofs of the original. These proofs would then be sent overseas by mistake to reprint publishers.
Another variant unique to Australia is Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction #1 by Yaffa.
The Marvel/US edition #1 is the Kelly Freas/John Romita composition which replaced the original Kelly Freas cover. The reasons why the Kelly original was rejected and replaced by the Kelly/Romita composition is explained in UWOSF #3.
It was the rejected Kelly Freas cover which was sent to Yaffa by mistake, making this a unique Aussie variant on UWOSF #1

Unknown Worlds is next up on the list, and should be up sometime tomorrow.
It's a common book, the Unknown #1, but that's because it was handed out at the convention at the time.

This interesting thing about the cover for the Unleashed #2 is the women is completely different to the more scantily clad women in the original Marvel Unleashed that has the same cover in all other respects.

Hi Danny - Just letting you know I was a teenager when Newton was released and bought (and still own) practically the entire line - including the "rare" Monsters Unleashed and Iron Man issues you've discussed - It's been great to read what happened to the company as I never knew at the time of course - If you ever want to see the issues just let me know - BTW have you thought about looking at the Yaffa line that came out??

Before kick-off the announcers tried to encourage the stadium into Mexican waves. This was no kind of game for such fripperies. It was a meeting of the big beasts, the last two nations to win the World Cup. It was Ali v Frazier and at the end both were standing.
A side mired in corruption allegations might have been expected to have felt canvas on their face. The shipyards where Polish communism began to crumble lie a couple of tram stops from the Gdansk Arena, and those Italians who made their way to the stadium would have seen the billboards with their Solidarity slogans that read: "We Will Win Anyway." It was two-fingered and defiant, and probably summed up the mood in Cesare Prandelli's dressing room.
Two of their number had been implicated in a match-fixing scandal. Their form had been erratic, the team patched up to the extent that the Roma midfielder, Daniele De Rossi, was pressed into service as a centre-half against men who can pass it like no other in world football. Their captain, Gianluigi Buffon, had talked of fear mingling with anticipation as the world champions approached.
And yet Italy had carried off two World Cups in the teeth of corruption scandals. They did not win here but, against every expectation, they were the better team.
Compared with his opposite number, Vicente Del Bosque, Prandelli has won almost nothing as a manager but tactically he proved the better judge. However beautifully they had played to win the World and European Championship, Spain had needed a high-class centre-forward. In 2008, it was Fernando Torres, two years later it was David Villa. This time, the miner's son from Asturias was injured, and Torres spent all but the last 15 minutes on the bench.
When he did come on, there were still traces of rust on his lime-green boots. There was one moment when it seemed he might finish off the Italians as he had finished off Barcelona in the European Cup semi-final. Bursting through, he turned his marker and chipped Buffon – and looked up to see the ball drift over the bar. Had he started, his touch might have been different.
With an attacking force of three midfielders, Del Bosque's side were an elegant rapier without a point and until David Silva threaded a wonderfully-timed pass that allowed Cesc Fabregas to pull the game level, Italy, with five in midfield, carried width and far more of a threat.
Mostly it came from Antonio Cassano, who was stricken by heart problems on Milan's flight back from Rome in the autumn and ought logically to have played only a peripheral role in Euro 2012.
In one period of the first half, he drove a ball across the face of goal, had a shot half-spilled by Iker Casillas, who then pushed away a header from Thiago Motta, whose inclusion as a "plastic Italian" – he was born in Brazil – had brought down more ordure on Prandelli's head.
The Italy manager, however, does not suffer foolish decisions. Compared with Cassano, Mario Balotelli had not had much of a game, but now he won the ball and surged forward. There was an obvious square ball to his partner but instead he lingered, and was dispossessed by Sergio Ramos, one of nine members of Del Bosque's starting line-up to play for either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Almost instantly, Balotelli was off, replaced by Antonio Di Natale and within minutes the Italians, deservedly, were ahead. Invariably when asked to name the player they feared most, Del Bosque's squad named Andrea Pirlo. Having been forced out of Milan, he went to Juventus and helped win them the Scudetto without losing a game; a revenge as icily cold as any exacted in the works of Machiavelli.
Now, he pushed through the kind of pass Di Natale would have dreamed of. The Udinese striker measured himself and drove the ball past Casillas, in front of the 6,000 who had come from Italy.
They had been vastly outnumbered by those from Spain. Early on, their singing had the confidence of champions with "Viva España" and then "tiki-taka, tiki-taka, hey hey" as a string of gorgeous passing led into one cul-de-sac after another. When Di Natale put Italy ahead, the big bass drum called El Bombo, which is carried everywhere among the Spanish fans, began its beat, and the chanting became more serious.
Then came Fabregas. Four years before, in Vienna, he had come of age in the Spanish side, putting away the decisive penalty in the shoot-out that sent his country into the semi-finals of Euro 2008 and sealed their first victory over Italy. He had commented then that the goal had seemed very small as he stepped up. In four years, it has grown in size considerably.

Chapter 76: Stand OffMature
Lollie and Amber were huddled around the bomb, wondering what they could actually do.
"Umm." Amber offered, looking from the box to her friend.
"Yeah." Lollie replied. "Know anything about defusing bombs?"
Amber simply shook her head. She looked to her friend, who did exactly the same.
"Seems like all three of us are at a loss then." A gruff voice murmured from behind them.
"Why won't you just die?" Lollie screeched, more out of frustration than anything else.
"Are we in some horror film and you're the baddie that just refuses to stop trying to kill us?" Amber offered unhelpfully.
"You're already dead, my dear." Clive stepped forward, his usual smile faltering a little.
"So what happens next? Do we kill you again and just wait for you to come back? I mean talk about boring and repetitious." Lollie laced her words with sarcasm and annoyance, almost spitting them at Clive.
"No. I kill you both and neither of you come back."
With that, he darted towards Lollie, grabbing her by the neck and staring deep into her eyes. "Like so." He whispered simply in her ear as he moved closer, kissing her.
Amber looked on in horror as Clive's eyes lit with fire that flew through the air into Lollie, making her body spasm in pain. He dropped her, lifeless, to the floor.
"Your turn." he said with a great deal of excitement. "But don't worry, I have no intention of kissing you."
* * * * *
Rosie didn't stop running until she could not physically move any more.
"Keep going!" Bev called from behind her, urging her on. "We need to get you out of here!"
"What are you doing here?" Rosie panted, ready to keel over.
"Helping you get away. Lollie sent me." Bev placed her hand on Rosie's shoulder. "Have a minute to catch your breath then we need to get you out of here."
Rosie put her hands on her head, taking deep breath after deep breath.
"Nobody else is going to die today." Bev whispered under her breath.
* * * * *
Amber stepped away slowly, crying.
"Oh stop it." Clive snarled, screwing up his face.
"But. But. She. She shouldn't have died. Not like that. She was so much. So much better." Amber screamed, wiping away some of her tears. She briefly looked down at the box. Less than a minute left, not that it made much difference to her. Clive was only a metre or so away now.
"Give me a headstart?" she whimpered.
"The joker to the end." he allowed himself a little chuckle, reaching out for her.
"You can't tell me that you weren't expecting that."
Clive turned sharply to see Lollie squirming.
"Oh I'm good." Lollie chuckled, pulling herself up.
"How?" Clive was shocked.
"Little bit of luck. Little bit of skill. Little bit of you failing." Lollie wiped away a tear from her face, her usual smile returning to her face. "I sent some of your power back to you, painlessly of course. That way you didn't notice it. Tell me that wasn't good."
Lollie stood, challenging the man. Amber darted around the room to stand next to Lollie, ready to help her through whatever was about to happen.
"Seconds left." Amber whispered, making Lollie nod.
"On the count of three." Lollie whispered.
Both Lollie and Amber sent all they had at Clive, with him doing just the same at them.
"What do we do now?" Amber shouted. "Neither of us is getting anywhere."
"We wait!" Lollie replied, one eye on the bomb.
Ten seconds left.
* * * * *
Rosie was up and running again, getting further and further away with every passing second.
"Is that far enough?" she murmured, out of breath.
Bev turned to see how far away they were, Rosie joining her. Both of them struggled to judge how far they had gone but they knew the answer when, unexpectedly, the bomb detonated, the blast quickly travelling in their direction.
"Umm." Rosie said.
They watched in horror as it continued to get closer, not showing any signs of stopping.
"We can't outrun that, can we?" Rosie already knew the answer and so didn't need to look to see Bev shaking her head.
"I'm sorry."
* * * * *
Seconds earlier, Lollie and Amber were gaining on Clive, using his own power against him.
"What are we waiting for?" Amber screamed over the noise of their conflict.
"That." Lollie replied, pointing her head in the direction of the bomb.
"What?" Amber didn't have chance to say anything else since Lollie shoved her to the floor, moving to stand next to the bomb.
"I'm sorry Amber!" Lollie shrieked, noticing the numbers reach zero.
The room filled with a blinding light and a deafening sound as the bomb went off.
Amber covered her eyes just in time, scared of what she'd see when she opened them.

Nabarro Nathanson has beaten Clifford Chance and Berwin Leighton in a bid to advise Norwich Union on the management of a £70m Essex County Council property portfolio.
It is the first time that the firm has been retained by the company.
It is believed to be the first time Norwich Union has handled property investments for someone else.
Before being taken over by Norwich Union the council's pension fund direct portfolio was run by another company, which used Clifford Chance for legal advice.
Deborah Lloyd, the commercial property partner at Nabarros who led the tender, says that the contract is a big win.
She says: "For us this is more an issue of the fact that it's Norwich Union rather than the size of the work.
"The value of the portfolio is not particularly high, but Norwich Union doesn't put out an enormous amount of work and this is a new area of business for them.
"This is the first time we have been retained by them, and they will be looking for other portfolios to manage in the future so it is a good opportunity for us to develop a relationship with them."
Commercial property partner Bernadette Horan was also part of the firm's six-strong team bidding for the work.
Nabarros has worked for Norwich Union before on one-off investments, and it advises Quercus Property Partnership and Norwich Union Mill PFI fund – two joint ventures in which the company has a stake.

Well, today was the big day. Lola Diamond decided to be born today instead of Feb. 8th, her due date. I got a call in the afternoon at work from Natalia that she was going into labor, so I called Jeanne and told her to pack our overnight bag, we're going to meet Lola! We drove up and met the rest of the family waiting. We ended up spending a lot of time in the same waiting room we waited in almost 11 years ago for Dominic to be born! Nat was given the same delivery room she delivered Dominic in as well! We got a call from mom in the delivery room shortly after 10pm that Lola had been born. She was 6lb. 5oz. and 18 inches. Dom and Marco talked on the phone and Marco heard Lola's cry over the phone in the background. We all got a chance to see her and it was amazing to see a new life. We'd spend the night and return the next day to visit Lola and Nat in the hospital.

- TC Nathan has minimal impact - but keep safety front of mind says Ergon
Published: 20 Mar 2015 11:19am
Tropical Cyclone Nathan has impacted the Far North Queensland coast nine years to the day after severe Tropical Cyclone Larry hit Innisfail in 2006.
But the "Son of Larry" has had minimal impact on the Far North Queensland electricity network, with 483 customers in Hopevale and areas west of Cooktown without power this morning due to tree impacts on local powerlines. Ergon Energy is still urging customers to take the usual post-storm precautions however and be on the lookout for fallen powerlines or other electricity network impacts.
With most power expected to be restored by tonight, Ergon is also reminding customers currently without power to ensure appliances in their homes and businesses are turned off.
"Ensuring appliances are turned off will help avoid any accidents – particularly with things like stove tops or heating plates," Customer Delivery Manager Tropical North Charlie Casa explained.
Mr Casa said extra Ergon field staff were on their way from the Tablelands and Cairns to support local Cooktown crews this morning in the assessment and restoration of power.
"We will also be mobilising a helicopter as soon as practical this morning for a safety assessment of the district's network," Mr Casa said.
Mr Casa thanked Far North residents for their preparation and patience in the lead up to the TC Nathan event.
"We would ask that people keep this to the relatively benign event that it is – keep yourself and others safe and if you are using a generator, use it safely and don't hook it up to household wiring unless there is a proper, legal connection option for such devices on your switchboard," Mr Casa said.
Ergon is keeping a watching brief on smaller Cape York communities still experiencing the tail end of TC Nathan's path, but is not expecting any significant impacts.

Sentence #182475
@Check translation: eng<>jpn
[eng] Suddenly, it started to look almost nice and warm.
[jpn] 急に、この地下室はすばらしく暖かいところのように思え始めたの。
I don't think the English sentence is about some basement.
I didn't think it was all that wrong. Change 'it' to 'this cellar' and it's perfect.
You'd have to change the Japanese sentence, because it was translated from the English one and not the other way round.
I thought it was taken from a bilingual reader or something. One of the original Tanaka corpus sentences, origins murky. It was just missing context to tell that 'It' didn't refer to the weather.
>You'd have to change the Japanese sentence, because it was translated from the English one and not the other way round.
This is not necessarily true.
With the sentences imported from the Tanaka Corpus, lower-numbered sentences aren't necessarily the originals.
The "I was in" part isn't in the Japanese sentence, by the way.
Note that one of our rules is that you should only adopt sentences that are in your native language.
You should release this sentence, by clicking the black man icon in front of your username on the upper-right of the sentence.

The Sensors
The only life in the universe was on planet earth, the cell made by the spirits was situated several billions of light-years away. This had not always been so, the recluse of the spirits was once again to blame. That one spirit, Lazarus, was Lucifer's brother, if its possible for spirits to have brothers and sisters and families. Both of them spirits were exceptionally powerful even among the spirits and Lazarus had been the spirit that defeated his brother's dark army. He had been forbidden to enter the battle himself with his unconventional thoughts and lack of trust. Lucifer had almost destroyed them all, his army had suffered barely any casualties. Lazarus appeared and was able to defeat his weakened brother. Lucifer's army proved as puny in power and as little a threat as Lazarus colleague's army had to Lucifer. Lazarus had moved the cell far, far away. He had done this to provide people with a chance, for when the spirits entered a body they were shadows of their former selves, unable to reform the fabric of the world at there whim. When a spirit entered a body the limit of their power was however much energy they had in that non-existent form they were forced to leave. With sunlight being their downfall he had forced them to either die by the cell, die trying to get to earth or to transport themselves to earth sacrificing huge amounts of their energy. So weakened by this jump the spirits now on earth were only able to cloak themselves in darkness and perform a few other pitiful demonstrations of their power. The dark spirits as the other spirits knew them did not enjoy this drastical weakening but before the other spirits left they all swore to never return in the most binding of oaths. If they did they would be cursed for all eternity to stay in the world alone which was against they're very nature.
While the other spirits were content that humans would be fine and to leave them to their own devices Lazarus was not so sure, at the time he had decided to leave but he had left certain sensors which would alert him to anything going wrong, you see he felt he owed it the people of earth seeing as they were made by the spirits he felt they owed the humans because of all the pain they extracted upon them in the great battle of the spirits. These sensors sucked everything in around them taking a picture of it and sending it straight through the void of the worlds to the land of the spirits. The consequence of these sensors was they had huge amounts of atoms and cells to redistribute. And this ways why everything, including the boundaries of the universe, grew. These sensors became known as black holes. Therefore that just a few second after the Blood Codex was broken the first black hole picked up the trace of despair that fanned out in a globe from the cell in one single hollow sort of ball. It was comprised of dark matter and was so thin it passed through all but the sensors, which had such strong gravity; they could even draw something moving faster than anything in the history of the universe. Two more sensors were triggered as the ring spread through the universe, with many more to follow. And so it was that Lazarus while sitting in a council of the spirits in the world of the spirits for while he was till considered strange the other spirits held him in higher esteem now he had saved all their lives, suddenly stopped dead and a look of resigned dread appeared on his face.

News : Bank of America Reorganizing Back Office; Move to Add 150 Jobs
Utica, NY, USA, Dec 16, 2015 -- Bank of America is reorganizing its north Utica back office operations that, when complete by the end of next year, will boost the local job count by about 150.
The realignment at the 5701 Horatio St. location has two components:
-- The customer contact center will be expanded to about 750 workers. There are nearly 350 now.
-- Current functions that aren't related to the contact center will be moved elsewhere by around the middle of next year. This change will affect 234 workers.
Workers in areas like legal order processing and research and adjustments in north Utica are not guaranteed one of the 400 new contact center jobs being created here.
Their options include applying for a new job locally or requesting a transfer to another Bank of America location, according to spokesman Dan Frahm.
Assistance will be offered to workers who seek jobs outside of the bank. Layoffs are a possibility too, the spokesman added.
Employees were told of the pending changes last week.
Although job shifts from north Utica are several months away, Frahm said the bank wanted to give employees ample time to plan for their transition. The move of the 234 non-contact center jobs will occur between March 31 and July 31, according to a notice filed with the state Department of Labor.
Bank of America has been working for several years to consolidate functions to the same site, he said. The spokesman said the support centers are part of the bank's commitment to keep service operations for U.S. customers inside the United States.
Frahm praised the work done by local Bank of America employees.
"The Utica team has a great record," the bank spokesman added.

Rangers fans applaud Lundqvist after Game Seven loss
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Madison Square Garden crowd saluted New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist with chants of "Henry, Henry" after the final horn had sounded on Friday despite the Swede's failure to carry the Rangers to another Game Seven victory.
Lundqvist had helped keep the clash against the Lightning scoreless through two periods with his brilliant reflexes and vision, but it was a puck he did not see that sent Tampa Bay on the road to a 2-0 victory and a place in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Lightning center Alex Killorn backhanded the puck through traffic and past the Swedish netminder early in the third period for what proved to be the game winner.
Lundqvist had won six successive Game Sevens for the Rangers, winners of their last 10 playoff games when facing elimination at the Garden, dating back to 2008.
"Unfortunately, I never saw it until it was too late," said Lundqvist. "There were just a lot of people in front of me.
"I felt sharp tonight. I felt like I was tracking pucks well, reading the play well. It was just one of those plays where they threw it in front and through screens."
Tampa Bay's second goal was supplied by Ondrej Palat, who blasted the puck past Lundqvist after a perfect cross-ice pass from Tyler Johnson racing down the right side.
"They played well ... you have to give them credit," Lundqvist said. Continued...

Asha: Fights
It all seemed to happen really fast. One minute things were quiet, I was lying against Jay and there was some movie on, Titanic I think. Next Sylvester was yelling.
I got up, in time to see him lunge at Kyshiro. I saw the sword come down. And the red welling up from Jay's arm. I froze for a minute horrified, then lunged at them myself, driven by the same determination that had driven me as the Shadow. I managed to put myslef between them, at the same time someone else grabbed Kyoshiro
"Stop it!" I yelled, loud enough to freeze everyone for a moment. Someone new had Kyoshiro. I nodded breifly at them before continuing
"Sylvester, Kyshiro, stop." I said firmly. "Now."
I looked directly at Sylvester, meeting his eyes. I saw the anger and pain just under their dark surface.
"Please" I said quietly, to him.
His shoulders slumped.
"Kyoshiro, promise you won't attack again" I spoke quickly, aware that Jay was bleeding a lot.
"I won't promise that but I will only strike again in self-defence."
I decided that was good enough and let him up. I went to Jay, making sure he was okay and helping him to sit down a bit, before I turned to the pair again.
"I think both of you had better explain what is going on. And if either of you thinks about lashing out again, remember who I used to be"
It was a hollow threat since I had no desire to hurt either of them, least of all Sylvester, who I could tell was in a lot of pain. But the result was what I wanted, both of them were listening to me, and took note. I turned to Sylvester again, appealing to him directly
"What's all this about Sylvester?"
