Jack Frost (voice of Chris Pine), The Easter Bunny (voice of Hugh Jackman), The Tooth Fairy (voice of Isla Fisher), The Sandman, and Santa Claus (voice of Alec Baldwin) team up to stop the malevolent specter Pitch (voice of Jude Law) from stealing the dreams of children, and using his dark powers to rule supreme. Guillermo del Toro serves as executive producer of this fantasy adventure based on the book by William Joyce (who co-wrote the screenplay with Robots scribe David Lindsay-Abaire).
Editorial Reviews
All Movie Guide - Jason BuchananJack Frost puts a sparkle in the eyes of innocent children and fun-loving moviegoers in Rise of the Guardians, an Avengers for the kiddie set filled with awe-inspiring set pieces, whimsical twists on familiar mythologies, and a complex villain who's just chilling enough to strike fear in the hearts of youngsters without giving them the nightmares that he thrives on. Imaginative and visually dazzling, it's a contemporary classic for all holidays. As North (aka Santa Claus, voice of Alec Baldwin) oversees preparations for the Christmas season from his bustling workshop at the North Pole, a malevolent force that hasn't been seen since the Dark Ages returns with a vengeance. His name is Pitch (voice of Jude Law) and he's the bogeyman incarnate. Determined to ensure that the balance of power remains with the forces of light, North rallies the Easter Bunny (voice of Hugh Jackman), Tooth (aka the Tooth Fairy, voice of Isla Fisher), and Sandy (aka the Sandman) to help drive Pitch back into the shadows. Together, North and his crew are the Guardians, a group of mythological figures sworn to protect the innocence of children everywhere. This time, as the Guardians unite to defeat an old foe, the Man in the Moon reveals that a new warrior has been chosen to join them in battle: Jack Frost (voice of Chris Pine), a wind-riding mischief maker with no memory of his past. When Pitch begins replacing the dreams of children with nightmares in a bid to get them to stop believing in North and company, it's up to the Guardians to defeat him and solve the mystery of Jack's origins. Pitch is a powerful enemy, but just when it seems as if he's gained the upper hand over his fabled counterparts, the Guardians get some much needed assistance from unlikely allies. When it comes to portraying the holiday figures that have become so ingrained in our collective consciousness over the centuries, adding something new into the mix can be a risky endeavor. Many storytellers have tried to reinvent the mythological characters that we've passed down through tradition, though few have succeeded. In adapting the book by author William Joyce, Rise of the Guardians screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire (Inkheart, Rabbit Hole) effectively breathes new life into the legends beloved by generations -- and achieves this formidable feat in a way that feels smart and entirely organic. From an inked-up Russian Santa who remains jolly even when wielding a pair of swords in battle to an Easter Bunny with an attitude and a thick Aussie accent, his twists on the iconic characters who populate Rise of the Guardians take numerous liberties while retaining the core values and traits that endeared us to them in the first place. Meanwhile, once that new groundwork has been laid, Lindsay-Abaire plunges them into a conflict where the stakes are high, the connection between the hero and the villain runs deep, and the only thing that limits the action is the author's imagination. Between Joyce and Lindsay-Abaire the breadth of inspiration is fairly bountiful, and director Peter Ramsey does a wonderful job of realizing it visually. A prolific storyboard artist whose filmography includes work for Francis Ford Coppola (Bram Stoker's Dracula), Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black), David Fincher (Fight Club), and Steven Spielberg (A.I.: Artificial Intelligence), Ramsey has a great eye for detail that's complemented wonderfully by a talented crew of animators, acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (working as a visual consultant), and gorgeous art direction by Max Boas (Kung Fu Panda). From the frayed textures of North's sweater to the sparkling winter landscapes and fluid action direction, Rise of the Guardians is a visual feast that uses 3D in all the right ways. At the same time, the unmistakable fingerprints of executive producer Guillermo del Toro can be sensed in the nightmarish, German Expressionism-inspired lair of Pitch, and with original author Joyce also onboard in the same capacity, we can rest assured that his vision remained faithfully intact. For moviegoers who have been burned a few too many times by films that strive to be new holiday mainstays, it would be easy to overlook Rise of the Guardians. After all, outside of the talented voice cast its greatest assets are modestly buried deep in the credits. Like a treasure hidden in plain sight, this is one film that will no doubt be cherished by children and adults who are fortunate enough to recognize its enchanting glimmer.

Rise of the Guardians based on 0 ratings. 7 reviews.
Great movie for children and the young-at -heart! So far the best family-friendly movie of this decade...
One of the finest films ever made! This was visually stunning, the script was original and amusing. And the point had to do with children protecting their own innocence and that they were the guardians of all the children of the world from the darkness of violence, ugliness, fear and evil that so prevade our society today. When other stories for children these days shove violence and darkness down their throats as entertainment and people continuously strip children of their childhoods in do doing, bravo for a film that defends childrens dreams and the characters that symbolize that. 5 stars for this film on every front!
Review title: Fun in Fantasy-land. Oh, this was great entertainment, a special twist to the good versus evil storyline. Watch the action and daring as Jack Frost, Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth-fairy, and the Sandman go to work. Viewers are sure to be drawn into this fantasy and enjoy this storyline as well as the cast of characters. There are several laugh-out-loud moments as well as some tense and frightening moments. This maybe a good family DVD for families with youth over the age of twelve, and you will understand why as you view the DVD.
A fun, beautiful, heart-warming children's movie.
I heard its good

For someone who has been referred to as a "near deity" of the London restaurant scene, there is surprisingly little public information about Jeremy King. Over the past 30 years King, 58, and his business partner Chris Corbin have built an empire that reads like Harden's best restaurants guide. At Colbert, The Wolseley, and now Brasserie Zedel, they provide some of London's finest food but they have always been reticent about talking to the press. "It's not for any reason other than it's our style," King tells me at his latest venture.
So why is he breaking this dignified silence? The answer lies in a 1930s-style basement bar near Piccadilly Circus. Go through Brasserie Zedel, down the stairs, and you enter Crazy Coqs, London's newest cabaret bar. King says that from the moment he and Corbin saw the site it was clear what to do with this Art Deco room.
Hardly surprising, given the boom in cabaret that's been going on in London for the past few years and which culminated with the visit of the legendary Crazy Horse troupe from Paris, whose residency at a purpose-built venue on the Southbank ends this week.
"It gives the building an extra dimension," says King. "Cabaret is the least lucrative aspect of our business, per square foot, but in many ways it gives inordinate pleasure. Gratification is what's important. For me when this building works well is when you come through the café upstairs to see the brasserie full and then come down here for a show."
Sitting in this film set of a bar, King says restaurants are like theatre anyway. "Approaching opening time everybody gets into costume, does their make-up and then performs. It's showtime."
Corbin and King have a simple ethos: "We try to create places we would like to go and hope other people enjoy it in the same way we would." As he and Corbin have got older, he says, "it's important to balance doing what's profitable with what you want to do".
It was at school that King first got a taste for cabaret. He went to Christ's Hospital in Sussex, a co-educational independent boarding school, and says they used to have some incredibly talented performers doing cabaret-style events. "Like anyone my age, when you say 'cabaret' I think back to when I was 14 or 15 and was transfixed by Liza Minnelli in the film. Now, a lot of people think cabaret is comedy or burlesque, but Ruth Leon [the widow of theatre critic Sheridan Morley and Crazy Coqs' programme director] calls what we do 'classic cabaret'. It's about one-to-one involvement, which makes it a special medium. There's something about the intimacy that enhances the experience — even if the singer isn't as good."
After the interview I stay for the show — and he's right. It is far more enjoyable than sitting at the back of a huge theatre because that's the only seat you can afford. The beauty of Crazy Coqs is that it has almost uniquely good sight lines. It doesn't matter where you sit, you still get a good view.
King is upbeat about London. "Nowadays you can find pretty much everything here. The really fertile area is the East End."
Our city is having a moment, and cabaret is part of that, with cabaret nights at Number One Aldwych hotel, former underground toilet Cellar Door and Soho's The Box. King, keen not to upset anyone, says, "I can't confess I've been to Crazy Horse but I shouldn't be quoted on that because it will look derogatory."
He is not here to talk about the restaurant business but does say its beauty is the wide-ranging experience it offers. He reads his reviews and is always interested to see what people have to say. "The most important thing in this business is patience and believing in what you're doing." Does he get nervous? "Of course. No matter how often you do it you get nervous. The last thing you want to be is complacent."
At the moment, all King's efforts are going into Zedel, The Wolseley, The Delaunay and Colbert, but in spring 2013 he and Corbin will be opening a medium-sized hotel north of Grovesnor Square. "At the moment there's so much to do and enjoy. There's no point in doing any of this unless it's enjoyable. That's what keeps us going." He'll be working over Christmas. It's a busy time.
Later on, sitting at the back of the bar during the show, he is alert to every aspect, from the background music to whether people's glasses are topped up. The show is a roaring success. Afterwards he politely excuses himself to check on his other restaurants, all firm handshakes and gentlemanly charm, a twinkle in his eye.

EXCLUSIVE: AMC is developing The Son, a drama series based on the best-selling 2013 novel by Philipp Meyer. The Son, produced by Sonar Entertainment, is a multi-generational epic telling the story of America's birth as a superpower through the bloody rise and fall of one Texas oil empire. The project, originally intended as an event series, sparked interest from multiple networks. Meyer will executive produce the AMC adaptation with Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy, who developed Netflix/Gaumont's Hemlock Grove based on McGreedy's novel, and Michael Connolly. McGreevy, Shipman and Connolly exec produce Hemlock Grove, whose second season premieres in July. Shipman, McGreevy and Meyer were repped in the deal by CAA and attorney David Matlof.
AMC Adapting Novel 'The Son' As Drama Series With 'Hemlock Grove' Creators
18 Comments
Great novel. Meyer deserves a Pulitzer for it. Why he would let the hacks behind Hemlock Grove get their hands on it is beyond me. Tragic.
Haven't read the book, but don't want to watch anything from the writer of Hemlock Grove…seems like AMC is struggling to find quality shows in the post Breaking Bad/Mad Men era.
Hemlock Grove is effing hilarious. If this show is anywhere near as chest-hurtingly stupid I will be dvr'ing it just for the lolz. If The Son is actually a good book tho then I don't know. Hemlock = silly book –> howlingly funny bad show. The Son = good book –> just boring/bad show once the Hemlock boys put their paws all over it?
Great novel but the most arrogant writer you'll ever lay eyes on. I'll be curious to see how it gets fitted for screen considering it isn't particularly plot driven, the charm mostly lies in its prose.
Guys, I can't speak for Connelly or McGreevey, but I can tell you from personal experience that Lee Shipman is as fine a dramatic writer as anyone in the business. He is also a native Texan, and knows this story from the inside out. Lots of hands go into the making of a series, and the writers just can't be blamed for everything that goes wrong – so give them a chance!
Never had any interaction with Shipman, Meyer, or Connelly. But Brian McGreevy has the worst ratio of arrogance (LOTS) to talent (NONE) of almost anyone I've ever been around. Always obnoxious to everyone around him. People called him Skeevy McGreevy on set. Literally the worst kind of person to have working in a writers room or trying to run things on set.
did they watch Hemlock Grove?
Wow. That novel with those guys behind it? It's already my favorite series.
I can't wait for this! McGreevy and Shipman are amazing as is Meyer. Hemlock Grove is GENIUS! I have every ounce of confidence in this project! With this team behind this project, it can't go wrong!
Funny. I'm in the unique position of having worked directly w/ both AMC and the guys behind Hemlock Grove. AMC creative is great – Owen and Ben and the others are passionate and dedicated to creating good shows. But Business Affairs is actively working against them sometimes, it seemed like. Grim penny-pinchers. It's a miracle that MM and BB stayed good.
Meanwhile Brian McGreevy is one of the most obnoxious people I've ever been around. Rude, creepy, clueless, and so convinced of his own genius. All you have to do is read his book (or watch Hemlock) to see how wrong he is. No one who has worked with McGreevy likes him, except (I assume) his writing partner. Lee Shipman seemed like a nice enough guy.
I'm curious to see how this turns out if it gets made.
Then you must be either Brian McGreevy or a complete idiot! Actually I guess you could easily be both.
Seems kind of redundant after The Spoils of Babyon.
More AMC money down the toilet. McGreevy and Shipman got fired off Hemlock Grove because they turned a decent idea into pretentious garbage and alienated everyone who worked with them. How do these poseurs get work?
A great chance for someone to re-write the terrible ending to an otherwise wonderful novel.
Having worked with Mcgreevy and met Meyer I can only say AMC is in for a hell storm. The amount of ego on each of them is preposterous. You've never seen two men overcompensating for more. It's pretty desperate. Meyer is a distinct talent and voice, he shouldn't try so hard and he should ally himself with a higher caliber showrunner.
It's hard to believe this was runner up for the pulitzer. Meyer seems like a hard up snake oil salesman. If you meet him, or Brian McGreevy, he is so creepy with women your head will spin. I hope they keep both of them out of casting.
We recently had Mr. Meyer in London. His was one of my favorite books of the year. His lecture was incredibly informative but his demeanor afterwards was egotistical and as wonton and sleazy as people claim his counterpart's is. It was an incredible disappointment and he lost many fans that evening.
An excellent book but almost exclusively inner monologue, I fail to see the script in this. Talent aside Meyer is an desperate lech and McGreevy an egomaniac. Hemlock Grove was a terrible experience due to him. Hopefully he's learned from the first failure and discovered either modesty or talent.


text: OXFORD, England, November 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the launch of two new open access journals in its cardiology journals series: International Journal of Cardiology-Heart & Vessels and International Journal of Cardiology-Metabolic & Endocrine . Heart disease is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, with nearly 600,000 deaths in the US alone in 2011, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Both new journals will publish essential research in the field of cardiology open access, enabling the latest research to be freely available worldwide. "With 12.9 million deaths from ischaemic heart disease and stroke in 2010, representing a quarter of total deaths*, considerable research is taking place to diagnose and treat this condition, and others such as hypertension and thrombosis," said Prof. Michael Henein, Umeå Heart Centre, Sweden, Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Cardiology (IJC): Heart & Vessels. "The new journal will be the natural home for this field of research, publishing articles and reviews on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on cardiovascular imaging, disease pathophysiology and management," Prof. Henein continued. "I am honored to be appointed Editor-in-Chief of this journal and would like to invite researchers in these fields to submit their best papers for consideration." Prof. Giuseppe Rosano, of the IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana, Italy, will serve as Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Cardiology (IJC): Metabolic & Endocrine which will be devoted to cardiovascular medicine in general and to the interplay between the cardiovascular system metabolism and hormones in particular. The journal will also publish articles reporting the effect of clinical trials and therapeutic interventions affecting the metabolic and/or hormonal influences on the cardiovascular system. "The journal will have a specific focus on the cardiovascular effects of diseases with mixed metabolic and endocrine pathophysiology, such as arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus. It will serve the interests of both practising clinicians and researchers," specified Prof. Rosano.

Is there a member on this forum know as Duckdoc?:
If so I have a question, I was cleaning a Wigeon Sat. and found two lumps that look very similar to garbonzo beans, one in the left breast near the bone at the surface and the second deeper in the right breast.

Halo There
Don't you want to make sure your kid has that warm feeling that only comes from being well-protected?
Sleep well, little Gavin. For I, your guardian angel, shall guard you and your HALO SleepSack in the night.
Yes, I know that somewhere, your rascal of a sister is planning mischief against you. But you see, in another life, I was such a sister, Yes, Gavin. And when I became a guardian angel, and they asked me what I wanted to do, I said "Oh! Give me an innocent babe, that I might protect him from a sister such as I was!" And they said "Wow, even for an angel, you're pretty dramatic." And they sent me here.
Shh, Gavin, shhh. Do not be disturbed in your blissful sleep. After all, I made that HALO SleepSack fall from the top shelf into your mother's cart, knowing it would allow you to be warm as you slept, yet well ventilated with less risk of overheating. I knew the sack-style design would give you room for kicking- you do so love that kicking, Gavin! -while also making it impossible to kick off in the night. Not even your dear mother is as warm as you are, my tiny charge. And I mean to keep you that way.
For example, the other day, your sister tried to write I AM A TERRIBLE BABY on your chest in cold tomato sauce. It was I that caused the lid of the jar to be stuck! See! Such simple mischief, and yet, impossible to thwart. Like I said, kid, I was once a big sister too. I'm an angel that knows all the angles.
Rest now, dearest Gavin. And know that I shall devote my halo to keeping you safe from your sister, until she's old enough to accept that you're a pretty cool little kid.

Premier Steve Bracks said he was saddened to hear of Mr John's death, and commended his work in representing his community for many years.
"Michael John was an advocate for the disadvantaged and underprivileged in our society," Mr Bracks said.
A state funeral will be held at St Paul's Anglican Cathedral, Bendigo, next Friday at 11.30am.
Mr John is survived by his wife, Belinda, and three daughters, Louise, Catherine and Rebecca.

David Cameron has rejected the latest challenge from Alex Salmond to debate the issue of Scottish independence in the year of the referendum.
Salmond, the Scottish National party leader, threw down the gauntlet in a letter to the prime minister, accusing him of shying away from a public discussion. "I note that you used the centrepiece of your new year address to attack Scottish independence," Salmond said.
"It seems that you want to dictate the terms of the debate about Scotland's future without taking the democratic responsibility to defend your views in open debate. That is simply unacceptable."
However, Cameron rejected the idea of going head to head with Salmond, saying it was right for the Scots to have a debate among themselves. "I don't have a vote. I wish I did … It's for the Scots to decide and that's where this debate should take place," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
Cameron said Salmond was trying to make the debate an issue because he is "losing the current argument and he wants to try and change the argument".
He added: "This is not a debate between me and him. It's not a debate between the prime minister of the United Kingdom and the first minister of Scotland … The debate should be between people in Scotland who want to stay and people in Scotland who want to go.
"Of course ... we debate these things in parliament, we debate them in the media, but the key question – does Scotland stay in the United Kingdom or does Scotland leave the United Kingdom– is for Scots to decide."
Over the weekend, the prime minister said the debate over Scottish independence would now have to move away from economic questions towards arguments of the heart before the referendum in mid September.
"I think the arguments of the head we've been winning very strongly. We now need to win some of the arguments of the heart," he said. "The UK is not something to want to belong to simply for economic reasons, but actually for emotional and historic reasons."
"In a diverse, dangerous world, the security of the UK, the ability to be part of something that could be a great success story, just as it has been in the past – we need to win those arguments."
"Obviously I'm very concerned that we win this referendum. I think the argument has been going the way of the UK, but it will not be won until every last vote is counted. I'll work very hard to play my part."

Laying Hardwood over Old Hardwood...?
Hey! Glad to be a part of DIYChatroom. Look forward to hearing all of your expertise on my many, many questions I will be having in the next few months. My wife and I are a few months in on a 1930's house strip to the studs remodel. One question I have is how to lay the new hardwood floors we want to put in. (we are a ways from that, just finished demolition.) The home has original 3/4 in. wood run at a 45 to floor joists for the subfloor, then 2 1/2 in. wide pine flooring over the top. The floors are beyond refinishing and we want to start fresh. My original plan was to run solid oak over the top of the existing, install with staples. After some reading on forums like this I decided it best to glue and screw 3/8 plywood first, then builder's paper, then staple down the new. Is this a good option? The argument I have heard against it is the headache of cutting doorjambs and even door height, transitions, etc... but since everything will be new, (new prehungs, new tile in bathrooms, etc...) is this a better option. I am installing new throughout the whole house minus two bathrooms. 1600 sq. ft. Don't really want to pull up that much old flooring if this other option will still create a quality floor. However, that will add an additional 1 1/2 inches on exterior doors... any thoughts on what you would do would be appreciated. Thanks and happy to be a part of the forum!
If you want to start fresh, then pull up the old floor. I vote for pulling up the old floor. A few crowbars and a day, you'll have the old floor out. You might even be able to find a salvage company to come pull it out for you.
The best way to do it would be to remove the old flooring, screw down the subfloor really well and then lay the new floor. However, you can easily go over what is there. You would just want to screw the old flooring down really well and try to get screws into the floor joists. This can help avoid a squeaky floor. Hope this helps.
I agree 100%. With a floor built up that high it's going to effect everything else in the house.
Baseboards, other floors heights, door way casing ECT.
This is what I use when pulling out old flooring.
I found it at Northern Tools.
Since it was probably nailed down it should come out pretty easy and another thing if you are careful taking them out you can probably resell then. What is now the bottom should clean up pretty well. And wide pine planks aren't easy to find.
So if I pull up the old, should i lay plywood down over the old sub floor for a more uniform surface? I'm sure the old sub floor has gaps and other minor damage. or should I just patch the bad rotted spots with the same thickness plywood and screw it all down then go over it with the new? I like the idea of a new surface to be the sub floor but this may be unnecessary cost and time spent...?? Any thoughts? Thanks for the input so far.
I think a lot of that will depend on what you find when you get there.

KUALA LUMPUR – Thailand signed its first-ever public agreement with a rebel group in its Muslim-majority south Thursday, pledging to work toward peace talks aimed at ending a festering insurgency.
The potentially historic pledge was signed in Kuala Lumpur by Paradorn Pattanathabutr, secretary general of Thailand's National Security Council, and Hassan Taib, a Malaysian-based senior representative of the militant National Revolution Front (NRF).
The brief signing ceremony was held just hours before a visit by Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to meet her Malaysian counterpart, Najib Razak.
No schedule was immediately given for future meetings, and the two sides did not elaborate about their plans. The text of the agreement, titled the "General Consensus Document to Launch a Dialogue Process for Peace," was also withheld. Malaysian officials said details of the agreement would be made public after the two government leaders meet.
"God willing, we'll do our best to solve the problem. We will tell our people to work together to solve the problem," said Hassan, identified as the "chief of the NRF liaison office in Malaysia."
Yingluck was scheduled to meet later in the day with her host, Razak, for annual talks set to include the nine-year insurgency and the possibility of Malaysia hosting future Thai negotiations with the militants.
Since the insurgency erupted in 2004, Thailand's three southernmost provinces have suffered almost daily gun and bomb attacks by shadowy insurgents seeking greater autonomy, which Bangkok rejects. More than 5,500 people have been killed.
There has been a recent spike in attacks along the Thai border with Muslim-majority Malaysia, with security forces as well as teachers targeted by insurgents because they are seen as representatives of the government of Buddhist-dominated Thailand.
Muslim ethnic Malays in deep southern Thailand, which was an independent Islamic sultanate until it was annexed by Thailand in the early 20th century, have long complained of discrimination by the central government in Bangkok. The militants are thought to be fighting for autonomy, but the insurgency remains murky, with no public pronouncements outlining its goals.
The insurgents are believed to be highly decentralized, with local units having the freedom to choose targets and campaigns. Malaysia is acting as a facilitator to bring some of the militants to peace talks, but it remains unclear who the actual leaders of the insurgency are.
In addition to the NRF, also known as Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu Pattani, another militant group, the Pattani United Liberation Organization, has made public calls for a separate state.
Despite the announced peace dialogue, experts warned against viewing the agreement as a breakthrough, noting the splintered nature of the insurgency, lack of concrete demands and Thailand's difficulty identifying figures with authority to negotiate. On Wednesday, Paradorn of the National Security Council acknowledged that Thailand was still establishing the authority of militant leaders to negotiate.
Crucially, it also remains to be seen whether other groups blamed for the unrest will fall in line with the NRF.
Marc Askew, an expert on southern Thailand at the University of Melbourne, said there was little evidence that "self-appointed" representatives of the various groups exercise any control over hardened militants on the ground.
"The challenge remains the same as always — to connect with the fighting insurgents, not just the talkers," he said.
Duncan McCargo, a researcher at the University of Leeds in England, said the deal was a welcome sign that Thailand recognizes the need for a political solution. But he noted that various back-channel talks have already been held with little coherence or progress.
"Under the circumstances, the latest news needs to be viewed with considerable caution," McCargo said.

A possible new suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been identified by Scotland Yard, it was emerged today.
Detectives are set to release an e-fit image of the man who was seen near the holiday flat the toddler vanished from.
The three-old disappeared from the apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve six years ago as her parents Gerry and Kate McCann dined at a nearby restaurant with friends.
Today, in a potential breakthrough in the case, it emerged an e-fit of a man police want to trace in relation to her disappearance, will soon be issued.
The picture - an artist's impression - is believed to be of a man who was seen near the McCanns' holiday flat around the time Madeleine disappeared. It is the first to be issued by British police in relation to the inquiry.
It is due to be shown on the BBC Crimewatch programme in a major new appeal for information on Monday.
The man is said only to be a potential suspect at the moment but sources say next week's appeal will focus on him in particular.
Madeleine's parents are believed to have seen the image and are said to be pleased at the progress being made by the Metropolitan Police.
A source said: "They are greatly encouraged by the work the Yard are doing and hope the Crimewatch appeal will be a another significant step forward."
The Met Police declined to comment on the image ahead of Monday's programme.
A statement read: "We are not prepared to discuss, comment or speculate on the content of the upcoming appeal in relation to the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. This has been weeks in the planning and each element of the investigation must be set into the overall context of the appeal. We will be asking for help from the public in a number of countries, delivered through a series of public appeals.
We will do nothing to jeopardise the effectiveness of these appeals and we have repeatedly stated that media speculation can be damaging to our efforts."
Last week Met detectives revealed they have asked police in 31 different countries to help them identify the owners of every mobile phone logged in Praia da Luz when Madeleine went missing on 3 May 2007.
Holidaymakers from across the world who stayed in the resort at the time could receive a call from the officers to ask them what they were doing there at the time.

I'm planning to undertake a circumnavigation for a year. What is an appropriate monthly cruising budget?
Tom Wood responds:
Completing a circumnavigation in one year can be accomplished, but you'll do very little other than sail. At an average cruising speed of five knots, a circumnavigation takes between seven and eight months of nonstop sailing. Delays at canals, inclement weather, and mechanical problems will probably eat up some time too. Add to those the time necessary for maintenance and re-provisioning and your leisure hours to visit in port will be severely restricted.
We have seen cruising budgets range from as little as $400 per month for a family of three to over $300,000 per year for a couplethere is no upper limit on what you can spend. But $12,000 per year is a good working goal for two peoplemore crew just adds a little per person for more food and other staples. This amount does not include yearly premiums for boat, health, or life insurance, which might be quite high for such an undertaking. With as much sea time as you'll have, though, there won't be much of a chance to spend money in port.

British alcohol-related deaths falling
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The number of Britons dying of alcohol-related causes has fallen but there are still more than twice as many such deaths than in 1991, official statistics showed on Tuesday.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said there were 8,724 alcohol-related deaths in 2007, with the death rate highest among older men.
The figures, which were lower than in 2006, suggested that the number of deaths was leveling out after a sharp rise during the early 1990s, the ONS said.
"The death toll from alcohol remains unacceptably high, and twice as many people are dying from alcohol as 15 years ago," said Alison Rogers, Chief Executive of the British Liver Trust.
"We welcome the slight dip in deaths from last year's figures, but we are worried that rates of excessive drinking are still on the increase."
In 2007, there were 5,732 alcohol-related deaths in men and 2,992 in women, meaning the male level was almost double that recorded in 1991.
The highest death rate still occurred among Britons aged 55 to 74 while young drinkers, aged 15-34, saw the lowest number of deaths. However, the figures for this group were up slightly compared to the year before.
Last week, a separate study by the ONS found that more than a third of Britons regularly exceeded the government's recommended daily alcohol limit.
The ONS found more men than women exceeded the limit and those living in "managerial or professional" households were likely to drink more than those in "routine and manual" households. Continued...

PL's energy proposals 'well researched and ambitious'
Labour's energy proposals are well researched and ambitious, and include novel recommendations that should be explored in further detail, the Malta Employers' Association said.
It said in a statement that energy prices were a fundamental element in the determination of the country's competitiveness and social well-being and that all avenues should be explored to ensure that consumers and industry benefitted from the lowest, stable and sustainable energy rates possible.
The MEA said that the shift to gas fuelled energy plants was commendable from a cost and environmental perspective, although the option to switch to fuel oil should be retained.
The association expressed its satisfaction that the PL had taken on board the recommendation in its memorandum to political parties to create a parliamentary position responsible for energy.
The MEA said it was also satisfied that four important elements listed in its memorandum had been taken into consideration. These were lower electricity tariffs, greater involvement of the private sector, environmental consideration and health considerations.
The statement by PL leader Joseph Muscat that energy and Enemalta were not a political ball and that it was the intention of the party to ensure that they did not become so, was well received by the association.
"The fact that these energy proposals are part of a more encompassing energy policy is also well received as this is something which the association has been lobbying for years," it said.
On the contents of the PL's recommendations, the MEA said the road map presented was ambitious and courageous and would require all hands on deck to ensure that it became a reality.
The MEA fully supported any efforts to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy to get the plan running if it was approved. The association added that the job guarantee given to Enemalta employees needed to come with a guarantee to government from employees and their representatives that there would be no issues whatsoever when the required flexibility was requested and they would be able to adapt to new exigencies of power generation in Malta, including secondment to private operators in the energy sector.
The MEA also suggested that, if the plan was implemented, the PL should consider reviewing its intentions to reduce the consumer utility bills during the first year of implementation, to be followed by a revision in commercial tariffs.
"The MEA would like to have the opportunity to discuss with the PL, as in its opinion it would be more economically beneficial, if both tariffs are reduced at a staggered rate. This recommendation is being made in view of the fact that commercial tariffs are among the highest in the EU," it said.
The association urged political parties to be open to each other's ideas.
"A constructive and mature debate can only strengthen the country's democratic process and, in the case of energy, all stakeholders need to devote their collective resources to produce the best outcome for the country," it said.

cheaper to drive 2 vehicles or tow 1? O/T
Ive got a trip from san antonio,tx to carlsbad,nm 450 miles. Im taking 2 vehicles 2000 tundra v8 and a 2001 dodge 1/2 ton pickup shortbed single cab, v-6. Im leaving the dodge in carlsbad.
is it cheaper to drive both or pull one (dodge) on a trailer? mpg on both trucks are about 17mpg. Im sure the tundra loaded with the dodge and trailer would be alot lower. any input would help.
My little brother is going with me regardless so i have a driver for the other truck.
Last edited by pi71; 12-07-2006 at 02:22 PM.
is this a trip you are making or are you just taking the van to carlsbad.
reason I ask is have you looked at just sending on a transport? not worry about the trailer or someone else in the other vehicle... just a thought
do the math,
Option 1: 450 miles at 17 MPG will take approx 26.5 gallons @ $2.50 = $66.25 for each vehicle, total cost $132.50
Option 2: Towing using Toyota at say 10 MPG, 45 Gallons @$2.50 = $112.50, then add in the cost of renting a trailer or a tow bar you will undoubtedly go over the $20 difference. Even if it's a pain in the arse, drive them.
There are also some intangibles too, beating on that Toyota should not pose a problem, but, think overheating engine or transmission... could be expensive, extra wear on the brakes, tire blowout, a minor mishap, anything out of the ordinary could really cost you money. Don't forget your time, driving with a vehicle in tow will take you longer counting lower speed, stopping to check rigging, 2 fuel stops instead of 1, a couple hours wouldn't be out of the question.
thanks thats the kind of thinking i was lookin for. i will bringing a 31 3 window chevy coupe back on either a tow bar or dolly/trailer behind the tundra. will i have any problems pulling a 31 chevy with a towbar 450 miles? (no driveshaft in coupe) or should i just opt for a dolly or full on trailer? thanks in advance.
I'll throw my $.02 in.
What is the history on the 31? If you just bought it, not knowing the true condition of its assemblys (axles, bearings, spring mounts, etc) I would not risk pulling it with a tow bar, I would trailer it.
See what the one way rental on a trailer is vs. renting one from home and towing one there and towing one back.
By far the safest thing to do would be to get a uhaul trailer and tow the dodge. Then you have a means of getting the 31 home with minimum hassle. Renting a trailer for a couple of days and returning it to the same place costs a few $$ less.
The uhauls have good ramps, and secure the front right nice. Get a tow chain or strap to hold the rear axle tight when you pull the front in tight.
The trailer will follow you better than any dolly or tow bar arrangement. The benefit is you have one
CO-PILOT/OBSERVER to watch behind and take turns drivng.
In the long run you will be less tired and a lot more safer.
To get your 31 back get a trailer. It is the safest way to go. That way you won't be putting any miles on your new car before you have a chance to check out the whole suspension and drivetrain. Just make sure the 31 is tied down very well and check those ties after a couple of miles and every once in awhile after that to make sure they are tight. Take lots of pics and post them here so we can see your new toy up close and personal.

The u-haul trailer are not that heavy
And are also equipped with brakes.
Something to keep in mind when returning to Bexar county.
Drive em both up----easier on the cars that way
I only get about 7mpg while towing with my 79 454 Chev.
It is easy to ignore the total cost of operating a vehicle. The cost per mile of an empty pickup is one figure, but start loading it down and it grows rapidly. Increased fuel cost is really the tip of the ice berg compared to increased wear rates on brakes, tires, suspension components, and as mentioned transmission/drive train and higher operating temps. I would have Little Bro drive the Dodge (who wants to give up the nice ride of the Tundra). I would do a one way rental on a trailer or tow dolly. The tow dolly will be cheaper and less drain on the Tundra (less weight to pull and very little tongue weight. Make sure one is available for one way and they will rent you one. Many Rental companies don't like to rent you a dolly unless you rent their truck and also do not stock one ways unless they are in a high transient area such as a large town or near a military installation. Read the fine print on local rentals. Some contracts restrict you to distances you can take the rental item.
Think of towing vs driving both, this way.
Drive both: Total MPG = 1 gallon to go 17 miles in each car or 2 gal per 17 miles. Which works out to about 8.5 mpg.
Drive one/Tow one: The front car will use a little more fuel but the rear one uses NONE. After all the back car will be drafting and will cause little or no drag. Getting up to speed and climbing hills is where you will see the most mpg loss. Worst case, 12-15 mpg. (I drive a truck over the road and haul different weight loads all the time and speak from experience here. Empty I get 7 to 7.5 mpg, loaded 5.5 to 6.5 mpg)
A big plus is you guys can visit and keep each other awake if you are in the same vehicle.
[ Commenting on the last post: The added wear on the Tundra on a single trip is nominal. Plus if trailered the Dodge has NO wear, so it is a trade off.]
got her home
well i drove both up took about 7.5 hrs from san antonio to carlsbad.

Glad ya made it home safe.
Never will I ever use a tow bar again.
Tow dolly is okay for the short trips
Anything over 100mi-----gets loaded onto a trailer
Kind of off-topic, but this is a interesting....kind of
I had bought a 40' Ford Pickup about a year-and-a-half ago, spent most of the day cleaning the garage out where it was at, so we could pull it outside. By the time we get it out, its pretty late in the evening, we call our regular Roll-Back guy, and his truck is tore-down, and their working on it. We call a wrecker, 3 miles away, he says its too late. The truck had to be moved that evening, no matter what, so we called a Used Car Dealership, and they were just then closing.
So, we used the trailer tounge welded to the bumper of the truck that it came with.
Interesting ride, the tires were in alright conditon, but the ride was pretty rough. It definetly cleaned the rust out of the truck. We had to stop a few times to let traffic by, but the looks on their faces...
But, like every other vehicle i got out of that deal, i sold it for nothing...i got talked into thinking i had to fix it up "original", which, there is enough Restored cars out there, and the guy i sold it to apparently traded it around and its probably been turned into a rod right now anyway.
there wasnt any uhauls within 100 miles that had a dolly or trailer in carlsbad..hindsight i would have pulled a trailer up there..o well its home...... now the fun..

- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of inhaled doxorubicin in treating patients who have primary lung cancer or lung metastases.
|Lung Cancer Metastatic Cancer
|Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Phase I and Clinical Pharmacologic Study of Inhaled Doxorubicin in Adults With Advanced Solid Tumors Affecting the Lungs
|Study Start Date:
|July 1999
|Study Completion Date:
|February 2004
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and phase II dose of inhaled doxorubicin administered every 3 weeks in patients with primary lung cancer or cancer metastatic to the lung.
- Determine the toxic effects and pharmacokinetic profile of this regimen in this patient population.
- Examine the relationship between pharmacodynamic parameters and toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
- Obtain preliminary evidence of therapeutic activity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive inhaled doxorubicin every 3 weeks. Treatment continues for a maximum of 3 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients may reenter at a higher dose level after a 3-month waiting period.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

iv started letting my cats out under my supervision when is it safe to leave them out there without me being there
my cats have been indoor cats up untill recently iv been going out the let them go round the garden only under my supervision when can i let them out without me being there

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It will only be safe if you build a full cat-proof enclosure with a roof. If they are used to going out under your supervision they may be less likely to stray but if something catches their interest and they chase it or something spooks them and they run away from it they could leave your property and end up going so far they can't find their way back. There is also nothing you can do to protect them from fighting with other (potentially disease-carrying) cats, stray dogs, small wildlife like raccoons, possums, and skunks, and even larger predators like wolves, coyotes, cougars, and even birds of prey like hawks!
On top of that no matter how well you supervise or how good of an enclosure you get you can't protect them from the smallest threats- small rodents infected with parasites and tiny fleas- the parasite that spreads parasites! For all these reasons I don't think any of us Catsters would recommend spoiling content indoor cats with unsupervised time free-roaming outdoors.

The High Cost of Honor and Greatness
Because it is The Pink Flamingo's birthday, I am going to indulge myself. The other night I was watching Tombstone. (Yea, this is yet another "Why I love Wyatt Earp…"). Even having watched the movie so many times, something struck me that I'd not noticed.
The perfect definition of honor:
When a person of honor does something that requires personal strength and character, something difficult that the average person would shrink from doing, that person is usually criticized. Those of lesser character would like nothing better than to swoop in and destroy. The most perfect example of this The Pink Flamingo knows is the life of Wyatt Earp.
Wyatt Earp basically gave up his entire future to do what was right. This 1923 photo is my favorite. It shows a man, brave, courageous, and bold – one unafraid, unflinching, and was willing to face the consequences.

Wyatt Earp and George W. Bush
Today is the 128th Anniversary of the Shootout at the OK Corral. After 30 seconds of shooting, three men – Billy Clanton, Frank & Tom McLaury were either dead or dying. Ike Clanton had fled, and three others – Virgil & Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday were injured. Only Wyatt Earp was uninjured. Thus was born legend and the American character was fully defined.
We are a nation of Wyatt Earps. "It all ends now!" Stand up and fight for what is right no matter what the personal cost. We see it again and again in the history of this country. Fact is, once upon a time a Wyatt Earp clone resided in the Oval Office.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. A President of the United States of America should know the difference and should know how to lead. Actions speak louder than words read from a teleprompter.

"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
Blitz Dorsey (07-28-2013)
Reds with only 3 men to reach base tonight.
The Reds are fortunate the D'Backs lost tonight or they would be only 3 behind us in the loss column. So it stays a 4 game separation for the final wild card.
Only 57 games left.
Votto flies out to left and that's it. Well, here's hoping we can get the series split tomorrow, with the rookie "Cin-granny" on the mound.
you know you've struggled when Votto is getting his 4th AB with 2 down in the 9th
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
If the Cardinals play the Dodgers in the NLCS. I know it would be a great series, but man I am going to focus my attention on the AL Series and football.
15-over = Reds Kryptonite this season
Impossible Heisey's bunt didn't stay fair
i sure hope Walt is looking for a hitter.. hope they are not reverting back to not hitting again..
After three games, Reds RBI in this series:
Bruce - 4
Choo - 1
Paul - 1
Izturis - 1
Only one of those didn't score via HR.

The protracted, £1.1 billion legal battle over three of London's most-exclusive hotels resumes tomorrow as Belfast developer Paddy McKillen prepares to cross swords in the Court of Appeal with the Barclay brothers.
The row over Claridge's, the Berkeley and The Connaught has been raging for two years.
Mr McKillen lost a lengthy trial against the brothers last year but was granted leave to appeal.
He was one of five shareholders in Coroin, the frontman for which was former Irish property poster boy Derek Quinlan who brought the Berkeley, Claridge's and The Connaught under the Maybourne banner.
Meanwhile, several of Mr Quinlan's property investments defaulted in the crash and his debts were taken into Ireland's bad bank, Nama. The Barclays seized the opportunity to do a deal with Nama to buy Mr Quinlan's debts, giving them effective control of his stake.
Mr McKillen claimed in the High Court that the Barclay brothers rode roughshod over his "pre-emption rights" to have first refusal on the stakes of any other investors in the hotels that came up for sale, although Mr Justice David Richards rejected this.
The appeal will be decided within two months.

For example, if you go with the variable-speed iSEER motor it is compatible with an iQ Drive® outdoor unit - no additional kits required for installation. Although iQ Drive systems are higher than 13/14 SEER, it is important that your gas furnace/indoor component is matched with your outdoor system to get the promised efficiency savings and the benefits provided by our exceptional warranty.
Filter your iSEER compatibility search by using the options to the left of your screen. This can help you take one step closer to a more efficient HVAC system that offers premium home comfort features.


text: Okay, so I was ready to have a talk with my husband this evening, thought he was finally ready to at least go to my counselor to work on a few communication skills we're lacking. He told me he was a cocaine addict the first of February, has been going to a 12 step program weekly, working on his addiction and depression/anxiety with his psychiatrist weekly. Day before yesterday he was really depressed, more than he'd been for a long time, but told me he was okay yesterday. He just called (9:30 pm, should have been home hours ago) and told me he was okay, just that he f**ed up and he would be home shortly. Now what????? I had seen my counselor Tuesday and thought the issues with him were that he didn't respect the boundaries that were important to me, now I know he was probably relapsing. I know this is a board for depression/mental health issues, and he has all of those, but the addiction is overwhelming for me. Can I really give him stronger boundaries now? ultimatums? He's not home yet, so don't know what state he's in, probably not good. Thanks for your suggestions, I'm a bit messed in my head now. Thank goodness my kids are living in other states right now, they're doing well in their young adult lives and happy and away from this. I'm not ready to drop this on them now.

Just for Share by enysuryo N5VM6A5ZJ6RE,[Full Pic] Rainbow Valley,
Valley of Death On Mount Everest
Not as beautiful as its name, Rainbow Valley is a place where a mountain climber of Everest climbers will find a wide body with a colorful jacket froze there. These are photographs of some climbers 'eternal' which has for decades remained there.
Death is often caused by a climber who sleep and not wake up for good.
Two climbers hear cries for help from a woman, but was forced to proceed because it could save the lives of women endanger their lives. Feeling guilty, they collect money for 2 years to get back to where the woman and give a decent burial.
Green Boots cave located at an altitude of 8500m became famous because of the corpse of a climber who was still wearing shoes bootsnya a bright green.
Restores the bodies in this place is something that is almost impossible. Helicopters could not reach half the height of the mountain with the highest peak in the world.
This is the body of George Mallory who disappeared on pendaikan 1924. His body was recovered 75 years later in 1999.
Sometimes climbers met the other climbers are dying on the way to the top. Unfortunately they have no way to help them and should let them die. [Justify]
Many climbers who say that the hardest thing in climbing Everest is through these corpses.
It takes a fee of $ 25 - $ 60 to reach the top, but sometimes the mountain is ask for mercy.
Approaching the top climbers can experience frost-bite instantly

UNH Lends a Hand in Annual 700 Family Yard Sale

Courtesy UNHWildcats.com
DURHAM, N.H. – Student-athletes from seven different University of New Hampshire sports volunteered their time in the annual 700 Family Yard Sale on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Teams that participated in the event included men's and women's basketball, gymnastics, men's and women's ice hockey, men's and women's track & field and women's lacrosse.
For more than three decades, the yard sale has attracted UNH students and families from around the Seacoast region. Last year, the yard sale raised more than $37,000, helping local churches replenish food banks and other needs.
The student-athletes were present at St. Thomas More Church and the Community Church in Durham, helping the set-up, organization, sales and clean up of the event. Additionally, student-athletes helped deliver large items such as furniture and pianos to people's homes personally.

Adoptions through BAM
Since our animals all live in foster care we recommend speaking to the foster parent/family of the pet you are interested in. Our foster parents' know the dog or cat best, and are always looking for each pet's best possible forever family. The phone number of a pet's foster is listed on each Petfinder profile.
How to adopt an animal:
Prepare for your visit
If you and the pet's foster parent think there is a potential match, a meeting will be scheduled at each party's convenience. It's recommended that you plan to involve the entire family (human and dog) that your new pet will come in contact with. As many potential adopters choose to try an overnight visit prior to completing the adoption process, we also suggest being prepared with a leash and collar for a dog or a cat carrier for a cat. You should also contact your landlord or homeowners association regarding any pet policy or restrictions.
Visit the pet(s)
For dogs, initial meet and greets often take place at local dog parks in order to introduce current resident dogs to the potential new pet. It's recommended that you allow at least one hour, though many people feel a connection with an animal immediately. If your visit is a positive experience and you want to proceed with the adoption, you will need to complete BAM's Adoption Application. This form is required prior to any overnight trial placements. Should you want to fill out the application prior to a pet visit, the application and contract can be downloaded to your computer. Use Adobe Acrobat or Preview for completion on your computer or print for completion by hand. Once filled in completely print the files for physical/mail delivery or scan the completed application and email it to BAM. Please mail applications to Because Animals Matter, PO Box 213, Hurricane, UT 84737, or email to email@example.com unless otherwise specified by the foster parent you have communicated with.
Completing the adoption!
Your foster contact will review your application and call to check on your continued interest in the animal. A home visit may be scheduled. If your application is approved you will be asked to complete the Adoption Contract, and pay the requested fee(s) for the animal(s). You will be given the animal's medical records and some food to get you started.
Now you have a new furry family member!
What is our adoption donation fee and what does it cover?
Adoption donation fees range from $0 to $200 depending on the animal (cat or dog), its age, its size and/or breed, as well as its medical history while it has been in BAM's care.
The adoption donation fees that we collect help us provide food, shelter and important medical care for the animals. Your new pet will have been spayed or neutered and vaccinated.
Make an appointment with your Vet!
Since some of the animals we take in have unknown histories, we cannot guarantee the health of any animal adopted from BAM. Although our experienced volunteers provide the best possible care, including professional medical attention when required, each animal's stay with us is limited and there is a chance that an existing parasite or virus may not become apparent until after they are in their new home.
