Ultimate Fantastic Four, Vol. 1: The Fantastic - Adam Kubert, Mark Millar, Brian Michael Bendis
The thing is that I didn't get that much new or original out of this, but it was a fun retelling. It did include the Baxter Building as a think tank, teenage versions of the Fantastic Four, and Victor Van Damme - I know, I know - before he became Doom.
Fun, a quick read, but I'd hoped for so much more.
An origin story for the Fantastic Four. These superheroes were never exactly my cup of tea, but it's interesting to learn where they came from and why they stay together.
A negative zone transportation experiment gone awry seemed like a reasonable update of the 1961 first-to-the-moon story. But I think changing the accident that gave the FF their powers from having stemmed from Reed's hubris to the result of sabotage breaks something fundamental.
Maybe I'd feel differently if it was a great story with great characters, but it wasn't.

The greying of Canada's population is already reducing the economy's capacity to grow without sparking inflation, a senior Bank of Canada official said Wednesday, adding that high debt loads underscore the need for households to alter their spending and saving patterns so they can adapt to longer life spans.
Speaking in Toronto, Jean Boivin – one of Governor Mark Carney's five deputies – said the bank's 2.2 per cent projection for the economy's "potential growth" rate in 2014 would be 0.2 percentage point higher without the effects of people living longer while the share of working people shrinks. The drag from aging will subtract from potential output for the rest of this decade, he said, and in 20 years average incomes could be 20 per cent lower if families, businesses and governments don't adjust.
"We can either accept a lower standard of living or we can be proactive and adjust," Mr. Boivin said in remarks to the Economic Club of Canada. "There are only three options: we either find more work, greater productivity or higher savings."
The economic impact from aging, he said, includes upward pressure on wages as there are fewer working-age people relative to those who are retired, less government revenue and higher public health-care costs and greater stress on individuals' savings as people face longer post-work lives. In addition, Mr. Boivin warned, the less we adjust now, the worse the burden on future generations.
"The most important demographic changes are yet to come and these will bring about sweeping adjustments," he said, pointing to projections that by 2031 a quarter of Canada's population will be 65 or older. "Eventually, the landscape in which monetary policy is operating will be altered."
To blunt the effects somewhat, he said, it is "crucial" for people to save more, and governments might consider policies to encourage people to work longer, as well as ensuring that "educated and skilled immigrants" can contribute "their full potential." Businesses, meanwhile, must invest to boost their productivity, he said, echoing comments by Mr. Carney and other central bank officials.
"Making the best of the aging process is not only a question of fighting labour shortages, it is also a question of finding ways to do more with fewer workers," he said. "As much as two-thirds of the average income loss due to the absence of an adjustment to aging – the 20 per cent figure I mentioned earlier – could be regained if productivity grew at a rate close to its average over the past 50 years, instead of the anemic rate experienced over the past decade."
The comments by Mr. Boivin come less than a week after the Harper government's budget signalled a plan to raise the eligibility age for Old Age Security to 67 from 65, starting in 2023, something Ottawa says is needed to keep public finances from being overwhelmed by the baby-boom generation. The proposal sparked a furor on Parliament Hill – with opposition parties vowing to reverse it – but it is part of a trend in which governments are trying to make pensions more sustainable as low interest rates and aging populations threaten retirement funds.
On Tuesday, for example, it emerged that Ontario's teachers' pension fund is $9.6-billion in the red.
The budget also raised the age of retirement for federal workers to 65 from 60.
Mr. Boivin did not comment directly on any of the budget's measures, but said policy makers "can help foster the needed adjustments," and "this is the objective of some of the measures put forward" in the fiscal plan.Report Typo/Error

Citation: TWORKOSKI, T., PREUSCH, P., TAKEDA, F. N AND P UPTAKE BY STRAWBERRY PLANTS GROWN WITH COMPOSTED POULTRY LITTER. 2003. doi:10.1016/j.scienta.2003.12.005; Scientia Horticulturae 102 (2004) 91-103. Interpretive Summary: The large number of high density chicken farms near the headwaters of the Potomac River in West Virginia and near rivers along the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland have been the focus of attempts to solve water quality problems associated with excess applications of poultry litter to farm land. Animal manure can be a plentiful source of organic soil amendments but proper management is imperative to prevent adverse environmental effects that can result from application of manure to soil. Composting may provide a beneficial alternative method for handling poultry litter due to immobilization of nutrients and a reduction in litter volume. The slow release of nutrients from composted poultry litter (CPL) may lessen adverse environmental effects from leaching of nitrogen in run-off from farmlands. However, applications of CPL to supply nitrogen needs may result in over application of other nutrients. The objective of this experiment was to determine the growth and leaf concentrations of several mineral nutrients in strawberry plants grown in soil amended with CPL to increase soil N. Strawberry plants were grown in three soil types to contrast the effects of CPL amendments. Leaf nitrogen was higher in plants grown with fresh poultry litter than CPL at 6 weeks after planting, but leaf nitrogen was not different by 12 weeks after planting. By 12 weeks after planting, strawberry plants grown in soils amended with CPL had higher leaf phosphorus than those grown in soils amended with FPL. Applying CPL on a plant N-use rate may contribute to over application of phosphorus and higher phosphorus uptake by strawberry plants.
Technical Abstract: Composted poultry litter (CPL) can stabilize N, and composting facilitates waste handling and disposal. Recent studies indicated that P was not stabilized by composting and that excess P could be released into the environment when CPL was applied to land on N-based plant requirements. This experiment determined the effect of CPL and fresh poultry litter (FPL) from two sources on leaf N and P concentrations in strawberry plants grown in three soil types. Leaf N was higher in plants grown with FPL than CPL at 6 weeks after planting (WAP), but leaf N was not different by 12 WAP. By 12 WAP strawberry plants grown in soils amended with CPL had higher leaf P than those grown in soils amended with FPL. Applying CPL on a plant N-use rate may contribute to over application of P and higher P uptake by strawberry plants.

Tottenham 2-0 Norwich
- From the section Football
Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a goal in each half as Tottenham began life after Gareth Bale with a routine victory over Norwich at White Hart Lane.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas handed a debut to new signing Christian Eriksen and the Dane created the first goal, with Sigurdsson slotting home.
The Iceland international converted a Paulinho cross for his second and was then denied a hat-trick by John Ruddy.
Andros Townsend almost scored a third but was also thwarted by Ruddy.
The comfortable nature of the victory was just what Villas-Boas would have wanted after saying the club needed to "move on" from Bale's departure to Real Madrid.
The result gives Spurs nine points from their first four Premier League games, an improvement on their tally of five at the same stage last season, when they went on to finish just one point outside of the Champions League qualification places.
Norwich manager Chris Hughton returned to the club where he spent 13 years as a player and 14 years on the coaching staff having distanced himself from the vacant Republic of Ireland manager's position earlier this week.
Hughton made eight signings during the transfer window, but it was one of his old club's new recruits who had a telling influence in the opening period.
Midfielder Eriksen, signed from Ajax for £11.5m, went straight into the starting line-up, unlike forward Erik Lamela, who was among the substitutes once again.
His impact was almost instant as a weaving run ended in a shot which Ruddy parried and Roberto Soldado back-heeled against the post from close range.
Playing behind the Spanish striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Eriksen continued to find space and on 28 minutes weighted a pass into the path of Sigurdsson, who calmly netted Spurs' first league goal from open play this season.
Norwich responded with their only meaningful attempt of the first half, with Ricky van Wolfswinkel firing wide from 10 yards after a Nathan Redmond cross.
But four minutes into the second half their deficit was doubled.
Eriksen was again prominent, sliding a pass wide to Paulinho, whose cross evaded Ruddy and left Sigurdsson with little to do.
The former Swansea player was denied a hat-trick when Ruddy palmed wide a stinging effort from 30 yards and the goalkeeper then blocked a Townsend strike from inside the box as Norwich offered little threat.
Sigurdsson's hopes of a hat-trick ended when Sandro replaced him, with Eriksen also departing to a standing ovation on 71 minutes.
As the pace of the play dropped, Lamela, signed from Roma, came off the bench to make his home debut.
And when Van Wolfswinkel had a sight of goal blocked in the late stages, Spurs' sixth consecutive home league win was assured.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas:
"Sigurdsson is a big fighter in this squad, always hoping for his opportunity to arrive.
"When it does arrive, he puts on performances like this. It was the same for him last season, in February and March. We saw his best level today.
"Eriksen already has so much experience from Ajax, he really linked the game well for us in the final third today. It's easy for him to find his passes when his quality is so good.
"The second goal early in the second half gave us immense tranquillity. I think we played really well, and created great moments of football."
Norwich City manager Chris Hughton:
"It was a real tough day for us. We came up against a Tottenham side with the quality they've got. Not only on the pitch but the choices they've got off the bench as well.
"We tried to stay in the game and up the energy in the second-half which I think we did but in the first half, it was tough for us with the movement they've got."

My question is what do you do for fun if you live in a small town?
I stay home with my 2 girls (10 months, and just-turned-3-YO) in a very very small town. I don't always do so great at this either, but here are some activities I tend to fill my days with:
Long exploratory walks in the baby carrier and/or stroller or wagon.
Playing, and maybe even reading some books(!), at the library.
Backyard play time. We got a Little Tikes swing/slide thing for extra entertainment.
Playing in the mud.
Kitchen floor + mixing bowls + water + cups = endless entertainment.
Frequent grocery / farm market trips. Seems silly, but I shop often in small amounts, so I can keep food fresh, and explore local options, and it can be a fun task to do.
Feed the birds/ducks.
Road trips to special "new parks" and the like. 45 minutes doesn't seem crazy to me for a weekday. Not OFTEN, but certainly once a week or so, I could see hopping in the car right after naptime, playing in the city, and letting DS sleep on the way home in the car.
Those are my first thoughts... Hope you find things that are fun for you and for DS!
I don't have too many suggestions for a small town, I live in a relatively big city. I did grow up in a small town though...so I can imagine your struggles. My one suggestion that my friend who has 2 boys told me the other day is if you have a bunch of little toy tractors/wagons to fill them with popcorn kernels for him so scoop and pour etc. Or you can fill a big plastic storage bin with dried beans and let him scoop and pour those. Another activity could be to let him sit on the counter and "wash the dishes." Kids around that age are big on sensory experiences.
I mainly just wanted to encourage you that are in one of the most "boring" stages of stay at home momness I would say from personal experience. Having just once child who is awake most of the day and needs entertained/played with yet he can't really play all that well yet...that's rough and I remember the going out of my mind boringness of some of those winter days stuck inside. It will get better as he gets older. And hopefully it will get warm soon where ever you live and you can spend most of the day outside on bikes and having picnics etc.
You should check out some of the Montessori blogs too. There are so many toddler activities you can do together, and it might help you to think you are "homeschooling" your toddler, rather than just playing. This week I am going to make a laminated photo book (I bought a laminator for $18 at Costco), DD will start beading rings on a string, and we will probably cook in her learning tower. She just helped with the laundry too. It takes longer to do chores with her helping, but I have plenty of hours to use up in my day, and then I can use nap-time to chill out.
If your library has a dedicated kids' section, they are definitely used to loud kids. My daughter's not particularly quiet! And there are tons of fun things to do outside apart from swingsets...
Easel, paper, paint
Flower / plant / bug ID
inflatable balls
sidewalk chalk
dance party (boombox or car stereo recommended)
...and so much more! :)
Scotty: We do the sprinkler/toddler pool, sidewalk chalk, playing catch with the dogs, looking at flowers and birds. His most favorite thing right now is the passing airplanes
One suggestions that I've heard. Fill up a tupperware container with little beans and rice. Supply different sized bowls, cups and spoons and let your little one spend time filling up and dumping the cups. It's the same thing you could do with water, but with beans/rice it's not a big wet mess. Just make sure you put something down if you have carpet because it's super hard to get out of the carpet. Here is a good article about keeping toddlers entertained:
I really like Chasing Cheerios. I have a file foder, and I print ideas as I see them, and put then in a sleeve in the folder. When I am lacking inspiration, I go to the file folder during naptime, since the projects sometimes need 5-10 mins prep.
I love all the ideas here. One other things that I'm really learning to do, is to pursue some of my own hobbies even with my toddler (and other kids!) in tow. My toddler will sometimes sit on the couch and "read" her books while I read mine. Or she'll play with the trainset while I do organizing. When I'm working on a craft project it's still a little tricky, but as long as I have enough materials to share she's happy. I haven't yet tried to sew with her around, but intend to give her my button jar and perhaps scraps of fabric. Same with gardening. I'm really early in this process, but am working to reclaim some of my personality outside of mothering. It's definitely helped me with the boredom.
Oh one other thing is that we sometimes just go to a coffee shop. I get her a snack and a bit of water. We sit for a little bit. Then she walks things to the trash (one at a time!), dances to the music for a little while, and will then settle in with a coloring book or lacing toy. We can spend about 40 minutes there just chilling, and more if I'm meeting a friend. It's been a wonderful way for me to get a little bit of grown-up time in in a way that feels good to both of us.
Good luck!

I know as I have gotten bored my cooking ha gotten more elaborate lol. I make a lot of stuff from scratch, but then I love cooking. I make bread, pasta, vegetables from scratch ( I used to use a lot of frozen ones) and generally more elaborate food. When I lived in a small town (up until three months ago) I made a point to do one thing a day outside the house, something small, like go to the local (amazing!) bakery and get a treat, walk around the park or visit the library. I took a lot of walks too. We also used to spend a lot of time in our yard, playing with sticks, gathering acorns to make acorn flour (a pain in the butt but a lot of fun! this would probably be really fun if you had slightly older kids who enjoyed it) or airing out his bum :)
I nanny, and it was a hard adjustment. We have 3 days a week with no car seats for the babies, so we're home. We hang out in the morning. After we do an activity, we play more, and then do another fun activity.
When I see them getting stir crazy, I ask the baby to go get everyone's shoes, and we go for a walk.
We like to do marble painting (roll a marble in paint on a cookie sheet with paper on the bottom of it), we love bubbles and getting all soapy.
They enjoy 'washing' the dishes and playing in the kitchen sink, we bake at least once a week.
Coloring eggs, or really putting food coloring in any food makes for fun times.
Checking out craft books or game books at the library is fun to do.
Maybe go to a thirft store and get your little guy some stuff to play dress up with, that might be way fun.
Build a sand box (you can do that for fairly cheap).
Side walk chalk is super fun. Teach him hop scotch. Trace his body and have him color it in.
Let him play photographer one day (give him a camera or your phones camera to take pictures with on a walk or at the store).
Hope that helps some!
DP to Sara, two crazy kids running around, lil dude born 11-1-11 and the new guy is home !! (5/2/12)

- "A large spider with a lethal bite."
- —Folio Bruti[src]
The whitetail spider is a type of spider known for its fatal bite; it is resistant to the Knockback Jinx, but can be killed with a Fire-Making Spell.
Behind the scenes
- The Whitetail Spider may be based on the White-tailed spider native to Australia and introduced to New Zealand. It is widely believed that the bite of this spider can lead to skin necrosis, however this has not be scientifically proven.

Simple to keep said BG from attempting those actions, a CC'd gun can only stop a BG after he initiates action, perhaps after someone has died, the oc'd gun may (hopefully) prevent any BG action.

The MIAA A Conference Playoffs kickoff Friday afternoon with the No. 4 vs No. 5 and No. 3 vs. No. 6 seed games. The winners will head to Towson University Tuesday to take on Boys' Latin and St. Paul's in the 2014 PNC MIAA Championship semifinals. Click here for more info on the games
No. 6 Calvert Hall (13-5) at No. 3 Gilman (10-6) - 4:15 p.m.
This has always been an enjoyable matchup to spectate, and one that seems to come up frequently in the playoffs. The fact that Calvert Hall head coach Bryan Kelly and Gilman head coach Brooks Matthews were classmates and teammates only adds to the intrigue. However, their respective squads look entirely different. Calvert Hall, though possessing a senior-heavy backline, relies a ton on youth. Meanwhile, seven of ten Gilman starters are in the senior class, and if they don't make something happen in this year's playoffs, it could be a handful of years until they make it back.
Evidenced by their 9-7 victory over archrival McDonogh on Tuesday (which came as a surprise to a lot of people), the Greyhounds are peaking at the right time. They dropped three games in the month of April but have picked it back up to be in prime shape for the playoffs. And with that win earlier in the week, as No. 3 seed they won't have to run into the mighty Lakers of Boys' Latin until the championship, assuming they make it far. Offensively, the attack corps of Chase Wittich (Colgate), Tyler Ruhl (Notre Dame) and Andy Matthews (North Carolina) has been playing outstanding lacrosse down the stretch. Star senior midfielder Will McBride, a Carolina recruit himself, has been hampered by a shoulder injury (he missed last week's game vs. BL), so the attack's prowess and between the lines play of his fellow seniors has been largely important to Gilman's late resurgence. The defense, face-off group and goalie will have to be up to task as they'll go up against an opportunistic Calvert Hall offense.
Dropping four of six between April 11th and last Friday left the Cardinals' playoff hopes in question and put a lot of pressure for the baby birds to get it done on Tuesday against Loyola Blakefield, their archrivals. However, their senior class - guys like Erik Evans, Matty Brashears and Michael Lanahan - showed resolve in keeping No. 1 junior Ryan Conrad off the score sheet on their way to a 6-3 win over the Dons. If they can take advantage of the Greyhounds' downfall, the face-off X, and win like they have late in the year (including 11-of-12 on Tuesday), their chances will increase. Junior scorer Timmy Kelly (North Carolina) has had to do a lot of work himself in 2014, so young guns J.T. Bugliosi, Evan Mintzer, Jack Kinnear and Braden Atkinson stepping up to get at least a goal each would be helpful to the outcome. It's hard to say who holds the upper hand in this matchup - Gilman is difficult to beat twice in a season (Hall won 9-7 on April 25th), so it will come down to whoever wants it more.
No. 5 St. Mary's (11-5) at No. 4 McDonogh (14-4) - 4:15 p.m.
There's more of a likelihood for an 'upset' here, as the Saints have shown that they can run with anybody in the league. Ben Rubeor has done a fantastic job in his second season roaming the Saints' sidelines, even getting his team within one goal of beating the nearly unbeatable Lakers last month. While there's plenty of talent on both sides of the ball, make no mistake about it, junior face-off man Alex Woodall is what makes this team go. He's been virtually automatic, overpowering his matchups with his quick hands and upper body strength to get the Saints extra possession time. On the attack end, Timmy Hardy (Villanova) and breakout senior Jake Ellis (Denison) have played crucial roles this spring and flat out put the ball in the back of the net. Up top, Towson recruit Cole Robertson is an outstanding shooter. I've really been impressed with LSM Kevin Fox, a Penn State verbal, and he'll be tested on Friday against one of the nation's best midfielders. The close defense has shown that they're highly capable in bunches, while sophomore keeper Tim Troutner has been steady.
The Eagles have been up and down in 2014 despite being perhaps the most balanced team top to bottom besides the top seed. When they're on and playing inspired lacrosse, Andy Hilgartner's team has shown that they're skilled enough to beat great teams. At other times, the Eagles are undisciplined and unmotivated. Their seniors should be able to will a team that has been riddled with early playoff departures to the win. Trey McGee (Denver) has had a monster year, stepping up in his fourth and final year on varsity to carry the offense. At midfield, Brinton Valis (Hopkins) has an excellent first step and split dodge - he'll need to be on his A-game for McDonogh to get the win. If Jordy Elardo can get to 50 percent at the face-off X against Woodall, their chances increase greatly. Down low, Alex Hurdle is one of the nation's best shutdown defenseman and is the emotional leader in front of first year starter Jacob Stover, a junior bound for Loyola.

Well im new to the site. Im a a 16 year old from P.A. I'v been hunting for a while in M.D P.A. and W.V. this year i got my 20th deer and dont think i shoot every thing that walks by. my biggest buck was a 130in 8 point. This year i got 5. only one was a buck (5 point). did alot of Q.A.M this year on doe.
hello and welcome to the site. I've hunted PA for 34 seasons in the Duboise/Clearfield area. We don't see many quality bucks but see lots of small bucks. The doe reduction by the state has reduced the herd dramatically so we see fewer deer and during the rut see more bucks than does.
1 Attachment(s)
Hunting Man-Im located bettween Hershey and lancaster. I know what you mean when you see more bucks than does. our trail cams are showing more buck than doe. P.A. is hard place to kill a big buck. My dad got a 9 point on the 1st day of archery this year and my uncle got a nice 10. I hunted hard with my bow this year and passing up smaller bucks early then shot this 5 point before the rifle season.
Thats a nice PA legal buck and looks like it was either raining or he went through a creek at some point. I've shot many of those size bucks simply because our area didn't produce anything better. Now with herd reduction and some small food plots going in we are seeing some much better bucks. Throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's PA simply had too many deer which didn't provide enough brouse thus poor quality bucks. This was especially true in the central/north where I hunt. Things are getting better with less deer.
I shot him late in the evening. we were not sure about the shot so we let him lay over night. And yes it did rain that night.
Welcome aboard heiseyhunter glad to have you here on the forums. Sounds like you are already a quite successful hunter.
Greetings from Vermont,,, Glad to have ya join us..
welcome to the site sounds like your a regular Davy Crockett :biggrin:
Yes sir its good to have you with us.. It seems you have also found a knowledgeable hunter in "Hunting Man" from your own state.. Thats icing on the cake..
Welcome aboard

Come and see the real thing
Triple J's Steve Cannane.
Photo: Supplied
It's your ABC TV. Well, as long as you're middle-aged or older. If you're 18 to 35, you have about as much chance of finding relevant TV on the ABC as you do of getting Pete Doherty out of the pub at closing time. (For older readers: Doherty is like a young Keith Richards, minus the talent.)
And yet, improbably, something wicked this way comes. Called JTV, it's an expensive, expansive attempt to bring Triple J, the ABC's youth radio network, to television. It merely fulfils the ABC charter's exhortation to create "innovative" programming, but even so it's bound to shock older viewers. After all, it's already shocked Triple J staffers.
"When it was announced we were absolutely flabbergasted," Triple J announcer Robbie Buck says. "There had been talk but most people thought it wasn't really going to happen. Then suddenly something clicked. I don't know if it was a change in management, but it was a fundamental realisation that Triple J has this massive demographic, a demographic that's really important for the growth of the ABC."
Over the years, ABC TV has made regular forays into youth-based programming, via shows such as Countdown, Beatbox, Recovery and Fly TV. Lately, however, it's been all quiet on the youth front - apart from Rage in the wee hours.
With music, interviews, currents affairs, comedy and documentaries, JTV aims to do more than just follow on from its predecessors. A joint initiative of ABC TV, Triple J and ABC New Media, JTV will create content for TV, the internet and mobile phones.
"When I first came to Triple J about four years ago, I realised that the way our audience were using media was changing dramatically," Triple J manager Linda Bracken says. "For Triple J to remain relevant to a youth market we had to be more than a radio station.
"We already had a very successful website, so we could see they were embracing that new technology and that was a really strong part of our brand. But we needed to move our brand into all the other areas that young people are using. That's why we started [the magazine] J Mag, which is really working for us, and we've got the mobile phone website, which has been going very well."
Bracken describes JTV as "a multi-platform portal". Unsure what that means, I ask for a more straightforward definition. Bracken thinks for a moment. "JTV is about producing content that resonates with young Australians," she says.
For ABC TV, here's the deal. From Friday, July 28, five or six hours a week will be dedicated to programs produced by the JTV team. Those programs will be scheduled on Friday nights, Saturdays and, occasionally, on weeknights.
On Friday night, before Rage, the half-hour flagship program will be JTV, a hosted magazine show mixing music, music news, animation and current affairs. The program will regularly venture behind-the-scenes at Triple J, allowing viewers to test whether Triple J's presenters really do have good heads for radio.
A crucial component of JTV on Friday nights will be the current affairs stories from the team behind Triple J's Hack. To this end, Steve Cannane is moving from radio to TV.
"I'll be doing one story a week that's four or five minutes," says Cannane, who is cramming to learn everything he can about TV writing, shooting and editing. "I'm working on a story at the moment about young carers looking after their mentally ill parents. Tomorrow, I'm meeting a guy who's 15 and whose mum has six different personalities. He stays up with his mum all night and then has to go to school the next day."
Cannane says Hack's agenda has been driven by Triple J listeners, whose story ideas helped make the weekday radio program a huge success. "For the past 21/2 years it's been consistently the highest rating show on the network. Which shows it's bullshit that young people don't care about current affairs."
An extended, two-hour edition of JTV, called JTV XL, will air on ABC2 on Tuesday nights.
On Saturday mornings, the ARIA top 50 component of Rage (which duplicated Video Hits) will be axed. Premiering at 9am on July 29, the two-hour replacement, JTV Saturday, will be a countdown of songs requested by Triple J listeners, hosted by Rosie Beaton. "It'll also include music that doesn't have a clip, so we don't need to be driven by the marketing arm of record companies," says Courtney Gibson, head of arts and entertainment at ABC TV.
On Saturday night, JTV Live will debut with You Am I, recorded at the Hyde Park Barracks. Buck says JTV Live should prove just as important as Triple J's Live at the Wireless for people under 18 and those from regional areas. "We get letters from people about Live at the Wireless," he says. "They say things like, 'I'm stuck in a wheelchair and I can't get to gigs so I listen to this stuff religiously. It gives me a chance to be involved in a scene all my friends take for granted.' "
There will also be a series of documentaries produced under the JTV umbrella, beginning with a film from Amiel Courtin-Wilson, writer/director of Chasing Buddha.
Gibson says part of the rationale for JTV is to attract young talent to the ABC. "Recently, I was talking to a lecturer who had done an informal survey of his communications students and none of them wanted to work for ABC television," she says. "Fewer young people are watching ABC TV, so if you're not watching it, why would you be inspired to want to work for it? That's very different from our day, when we were trying to break down the walls to get into this place. But JTV has created an opportunity for younger practitioners to learn how to make television and how to make broadcast material for deployment across all the different platforms the ABC can offer."
The ABC received more than 1000 applications from young people eager to work at JTV. "These people know what they're creating is a future media model," Bracken says.
As Bracken, Gibson and I talk at the ABC's Ultimo bunker, JTV is taking shape around us. Cannane is in a training room learning how to use a digital camera; Buck is at Triple J studios preparing for an afternoon shift that will be filmed; and Sydney band I Love Space are recording a live session, with half-a-dozen digital cameras capturing every strum and thump.
Meanwhile, an editor is cutting footage of resurgent Sydney band the Vines, recorded in the building. The song is called Don't Listen to the Radio. A more apt title would be Don't Just Listen to the Radio - Check Out the Multi-Platform Content.
So, will JTV be as long-lasting and influential as Keith Richards or as ephemeral and inconsequential as Pete Doherty?
"Who knows how long JTV is going to last or what it's going to look like, but the fact the ABC management are saying we're going to place this amount of resources and we're going to commit to it for at least a period of time and see what happens is a huge turnaround," Buck says. "I feel pretty confident."
JTV begins on Friday, July 28, at 11.10pm; Rosie Beaton's request program begins on Saturday, July 29, at 9am; and JTV Live begins on Saturday, July 29, at 11.30pm.

"The other team was very good," says competitor and second-year UM law student Matthew Lowy, "but I thought we were better."
So when UM received the score sheets in the mail seven days later, Lowy scrutinized the six categories to find out where, exactly, the UM team had fallen short. He added up the figures.
"I did it in my head maybe 10 times," says Lowy. "Then I used a calculator."
Sure enough, the UM team had actually won—it would have qualified to compete in two more rounds in Salem.
Lowy didn't place the call alerting ILSA to the mathematical error—"I would have yelled." The team's advisor and UM legal counsel—and "much more diplomatic," says Lowy—David Aronofsky called. "Who knows whether we would have won," says Aronofsky. In any case, UM faxed the score sheets to ILSA. Five minutes later, says Lowy, ILSA's Michael Peil called and told them the only equitable resolution would be for the UM team to present arguments in the world competition—to which the team had never advanced.
And so the team will be one of 103 international teams competing in Washington, D.C., at the end of March. If they win, they'll bring home the Jessup Cup—and, says Lowy, a lot of pride.
In D.C., the judges, including internationally renowned lawyers, will rank the students' understanding of law. They will also rate style, poise, courtesy and demeanor. Lowy will dress for the occasion.
"You look like a lawyer," says Lowy. "You wear a suit and tie. You make sure your hair is closely cut. You shave that morning." Then, "It's a stretch for me."
While primping and grooming may not be Lowy's strong points, his math skills, evidently, are right on the money.

Britain's Paula Radcliffe says her chances of running in the Olympic marathon are ''not looking good'' because of a foot injury that flared up during training the past month. The 38-year-old world-record holder in the marathon denied a British newspaper report Sunday that she had withdrawn from the Aug. 5 race. UK Athletics and the British Olympic Association also said they were unaware of any decision by Radcliffe to withdraw. Radcliffe tweeted: ''Not looking good but my heartbreaking news to break!'' She added that she won't make a decision until a final training run. Radcliffe has been slowed by injuries since winning the 2005 world championship. The three-time New York City Marathon winner failed to finish the 2004 Athens marathon and was 23rd in Beijing in 2008.

Description: The Buried Soul is a worldwide exploration of the rites and rituals of death. Timothy Taylor"s search spans all of human history and interweaves the author"s own experience of bewildering deaths. By combining cutting-edge science, personal insight, and scholarship, The Buried Soul offers a radical voyage into sepulchral worlds. "The Buried Soul, by British archeologist Timothy Taylor, is an extraordinary immersion experience . . . I had always supposed that archeology was as dry as the dust and bones it traffics in, as pedestrian as the catalogs it compiles. On the contrary, when expounded by a masterly storyteller like Taylor, it resembles psychoanalysis at its best...I haven"t space to illustrate how ingeniously Taylor assembles his interpretations, patiently working out the barely intelligible motives and beliefs of the creatures who became us . . . Wherever else you travel, you should consider a trip into "deep time" with The Buried Soul." --George Scialabba, Boston Globe "Taylor makes sense of the ghastly and the seemingly insensible--African muti killings, human sacrifice, vampires, and triple-killed bog bodies. Archaeology was never so entertaining, and entertainment never so edifying. Taylor rescues cannibalism from its P.C. detention hall. He hauls ghosts off the Halloween novelty racks and reflects on their ancient status as disembodied souls: dangerous, utterly terrifying entities that had to be trapped, served, tricked, placated. There is not a trite thought or lazy idea in this book. Taylor is blazingly smart and deeply human." --Mary Roach, author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers "Learned and impassioned." --Adam Kirsch, New York Sun

Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation is willing to work with members who may be having a hard time paying their power bill due to the economy to try and avoid disconnection of service.
That was the word from Chris Jones, spokesman for the cooperative. "I would encourage members to call us and talk to us. There are things we can do," Jones said, adding MTE has programs in place to help those who may be struggling financially. "We do our best to work with members."
There is a Member Service Line that members can call to get information about making payments at (877) 777-9020. Although MTE will work with customers who have delinquent bills, Jones said "there are certain situations if delinquency rises to a certain level," then service will be disconnected.

WATERTOWN — Wilson County's longest bi-annual transaction should have early birds on the prowl as the Watertown Spring Mile Long Yard Sale returns Saturday. The mile-long event has stretched to the entire two miles of Watertown's Main Street, while there are also sellers set up along Highway 70 from Interstate 40 to DeKalb County.
What might bargain hunters find along the route? Well, besides this and that, what-nots and nick-knacks, Coordinator Jim Amero said there will be everything from antiques, baby items, T-shirts, woodcrafts and jewelry to folk art, knives, Avon products and sunglasses.
MT. JULIET -- Wilson County Tea Party will host an April 15 Tax Day Tea Party Day Rally at Charlie Daniels Park from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
"Our uncompromising message to all politicians of all stripes is clear: You work for us. You have betrayed our trust," said Sherrie Orange, Wilson County Tea Party chairman.
She added, "The anger is not only about the amount of money spent for unpopular causes but also against the waste and fraud being perpetrated with hard-earned tax payer money. The more educated voters become, the better the likelihood that they will come out and vote thus creating a win for our core values in the upcoming primary and November elections."

That noise you heard Monday afternoon was a collective sigh of relief coming from the Cumberland University baseball complex. Slugging third baseman Matt Greener was diagnosed with a sprained left wrist following a collision at home plate in Sunday's 6-3 win over Lindsey Wilson at Stockton Field.
"We were afraid he had a broken bone in there," Coach Woody Hunt said. "He should be back in the lineup Friday when we play Freed Hardeman. I'm just glad it wasn't worse."
Greener, a senior out of Jupiter, FL, is hitting a red-hot .500 for the season with 74 hits in 148 at bats. He leads the team with 18 homeruns, 61 RBI and 16 doubles.
No. 2-ranked CU celebrated Monday's medical report with a lopsided 15-5 victory over Bryan College under the lights at Veterans Field in Baird Park.
Cumberland improved to 34-8 with the victory as Max Kautz doubled and tripled to drive in four runs.
The Bulldogs scored 10 runs in the fourth inning to win its fifth straight contest and completed a stretch of 10 games in 11 games with an 8-2 mark.
Every Bulldog starter had at least one hit and Troy Frazier, Eric Vetetoe and Kautz each collected two hits. CU also took advantage of eight walks and three hit batters by the Lions (18-25).
Luke Whittaker (2-0) struggled through the first three innings but settled down to get the victory, allowing two earned runs on six hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out three. Derrick Harwood and Peter Taraskevich tossed the final two innings for the Bulldogs, striking out four.
Cumberland hosts Freed-Hardeman this weekend in a three-game series at Ernest L. Stockton Field starting Friday at 2 p.m.
On Sunday, Adam Sprague struck out seven and did not allow an earned run in eight innings and tCU scored four runs in the seventh a 6-3 victory Sunday over Lindsey Wilson.
Lebanon High gets a chance at redemption tonight as the Blue Devil baseball team travels to Gladeville for a 7 p.m. game against Wilson Central.
The Wildcats pounded Lebanon 12-0 in five innings Tuesday night at Veterans Field as righthander Zach Phillips tossed a one-hitter, striking out nine.
Cain Sloan managed Lebanon's only hit, a ringing single in the bottom of the fourth as the Blue Devils fell to 11-8-1 overall and 1-3 in Disrict 9AAA.
Central upped its record to 1-3 in the district thanks in part to Andrew Green, Jacob McEntire and Phillips each had a pair of hits.
Coach Anthony Ford's team broke the game open with a 10-run outburst in the top of the fourth.
MT. JULIET -- The Golden Bears improved to 16-2 overall and 4-0 in District 9AAA Tuesday night with an 11-1 win over visiting Station Camp.
Jake Harper (2-1) went five innings to get the win, striking out seven and scattering four hits.
Ethan Gross popped a two-run homer in the third, leading a 5-run Bear third inning to break open a 1-1 game. Logan Gray added three hits and Harper helped his own cause with two hits.
MJHS plays at Station Camp tonight at 7 p.m.

STR's Vettai Mannan is proceeding at full speed especially with some applauding special effects from talented cinematographer Sakthi. Recently, an action fight sequence was shot at the Binny Mills. According to grapevine, in this scene STR and Jai takes on bad man and display their strength by knocking down the baddies. In the end, those who were present at the shot reported that the scene came out really well and holds some true masala action.
Cinematographer Sakthi stated that he has used some astonishing and pioneering technology for fight scenes. For the first time ever, 2 cameras are used to craft a particular effect that is absolutely mind-blowing. When STR went through the scenes again he was really impressed and happy with the output and heartily congratulated Sakthi for his great efforts.

The Cardinals wouldn't have traded for and then signed 33-year-old Carson Palmer if they believed he could no longer throw the deep ball. So far, head coach Bruce Arians likes what he has seen from Palmer. Most importantly, Arians said Palmer can still launch it.
"He's tough as nails," Arians said about Palmer on Sunday in an ESPN interview. "As good a deep-ball thrower as I've ever seen. I mean really accurate on the deep ball. He still has it. What he did last year with the Raiders, in a crazy situation, I thought was very, very impressive."
Fantasy Analysis:
That deep-throw ability is one of the foci of Arians' offense. He loves to throw the ball down the field, and I am really looking forward to seeing how Palmer operates with Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts around him. Palmer could be a stellar QB2 this year.

Is this the best way to wire a floor?
1 Attachment(s)
Preparing to run my wiring before i have an electrician come verify all is proper. I have attached a screenshot of my amateur mspaint drawing. It can be seen larger here: http://shiftace.ca/electrical.html (99.5% of folks don't read my site name proper the first 4 times)
There is a shower steamer that will have its own breaker, and i believe the same thing with the tub motor. The same also with the smoke/CO detector i believe (not in the pic).
One question is, i have three lights in the bathroom, would it be okay to combine those three lights with the nine outlets on the same 15amp breaker?
And the main question i have... is this the sanest way to wire the floor, or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for reading this and for any input.
It would help if your location was filled out. From your use of ensuite I suspect Canada.
The URL he references is a Canada site.
For the code. Any receptacle installed in a washroom has to be 1m but not less than 500mm from a tub or shower as measured horizontally without running into a wall. The 500mm is for small bathrooms and the inspector may ding you if your not at the 1m. Bedroom receptacles need afci protection and tamperproof receptacles. Smokes need to be on a general lighting circuit. Donrt forget you gfci's in the bathroom.
Personally I would run a seperate circuit for the bathroom receptacles. It will save you a ton of headaches resetting breakers(hairdryer draws 15a). Or run a 20a circuit for them. Remember though you can't have lights on a 20a circuit.
Good luck!
But he's a Jets fan. How sick is that?
I haven't figured out why we don't have an NFL team in Toronto. Makes more sense than having the bills here to play 2 or 3 games a year. They have to be itching to get out of buffalo anyways :laughing:
Winnipeg Jets = hockey
NY Jets = football

Thanks Andrew.
Okay, i have added an outlet on the south wall of the bathroom to be within the 50-100cm distance from the tub w/no obstructions.
Also, i have changed the circuit from all 9 outlets to the now 4 of the bathroom outlets, and put the three lights with the 6 outlets in the bedroom/sitting area.
Does this make a bit more sense now? Or is it unorthodox to have one of the five bathroom receptacles running with another circuit?
And the AFCI, does that have to just include the receptacles, or the lights too? This might change how i run everything up here.
Thanks again!
Bedroom plugs will need to be arc fault protected, put nothing else but the bedroom plugs on this circuit.
Depending on what you are putting in for lights you could use one circuit for all the lights and the plugs in the washroom, your smoke detector will need to go on the lighting cct. If it were me I would try and put the bathroom plugs on there own circuit.
Dedicated circuit for steam shower and tub motor is good idea, they may have to be GFI protected. I would have to look it up to give you an exact answer.
What's the point of the plug next to the toliet and the one next to the tub, all bathroom plugs I have seen are near the sinks?
It's not a requirement its a nono do not put a plug there. I worded it poorly. It's a minimum clearance distance. Sorry bout that.

This Is How People Park In Houston
Really?! Here are a couple of parking fails that I came across last week.
HOW?! How does this driver not realize that they drove OVER the parking block?
And this mini cooper driver has one of the smallest cars ever, and still can't stay in the lines! This car belongs to one of our employees, but I'm not sure who.
Do you have any parking pet peeves?

With the clock ticking towards the big moment (read Deepavali day), director A R Murugadoss is upbeat that audience could have a blast watching 'Thupakki' on big screen.
"Thupakki will be on the lines of a Rajini film of the 1980s and 1990s. It will be a correct mix of everything fans would expect from a Deepavali release," he says.
Directed by A R Murugadoss, the film will hit more than 1,500 screens on November 13. Harris Jayaraj's songs for 'Thupakki' are already making their presence felt.
Murugadoss further says both Vijay and Kajal Agarwal are thorough professionals and they gave their best to the film. "Vijay's comic sense is amazing," he says.

countour plot (in 3D)
I have a set of 720 measurements at locations (x,y,z), each associated
with a value (f).
The y is constant for all locations. So I can generate a ListContourPlot
quite easily and nicely.
Now I want to show the contour in 3D. This means essentially I want to
show a contoured plane in 3D. I want to do this in 3D because I want to
add other sets of measurements which are at different (x,y,z) locations
(other planes), subsequently.
How can this be done?
I tried ListContourPlot3D, however it tells me this (which I don't
ListContourPlot3D::invpts: "\!\(\*
StyleBox[\"\"\", \"MT\"]\)-- Message text not found --
Can anybody tell what this message means (or what I am doing wrong)?
What excatly can I adjust with the option Contours? The help says "how
many or what contour surfaces to show". Does that mean, for my first try
with the one set of 720 measurements I would put Contours->{1}?
Thank you,

Fusion Science and Technology / Volume 45 / Number 2T / March 2004 / Pages 85-94
Technical Paper / Plasma and Fusion Energy Physics - Equilibrium and Instabilities
In this paper we will discuss the theoretical framework of ideal MHD stability. We first show that the Alfvén wave is of central importance for the understanding of macroscopic plasma dynamics and, hence, of MHD stability. In section 2 we introduce the elements of spectral theory needed for our study, and in section 3 we apply these methods to inhomogeneous plasmas in cylinder geometry. Conclusions are drawn in section 4.

The Gregarious Guitars of Don Bikoff
Guitarist/composer Don Bikoff's album "Celestial Explosion" was released in 1968. The album featured acoustic guitar gently altered with studio effects, and an Eastern-influenced take on the bluesy finger-picking of Mississippi John Hurt and American Primitivism of John Fahey. This fine album of solo guitar music was issued somewhat mysteriously on Keyboard Records, and fell into obscurity soon after its release.
Don Bikoff himself has continued to play and compose, and to accumulate experience with a sense of adventure and joy. Now the guitar-centric label Tompkins Square has just reissued "Celestial Explosion," and Don Bikoff joins David Garland in the WNYC Studio to reminisce, laugh, and play us some guitar.

Postage stamps are the most popular and most sought-after way of franking mailings worldwide. The images printed on them constitute an inexhaustible reserve of cultural symbols. Postage stamps allow the sender to demonstrate their creative preferences, and give their mailings a personal touch. They are so important economically that in developing countries postage stamps have become coveted export items and a way of bringing in foreign currencies. Postage stamps are an attractive way of documenting a wide range of interesting subjects, occasions, and interests, acting as a cultural envoy for the wider world. Whole nations use them as a medium for conveying their international image.
Customers worldwide place their trust in the wide-ranging expertise and longstanding experience of G&D when it comes to manufacturing postage stamps. The production of stamps is one of the company's traditional areas of business.
G&D's skills go far beyond the products themselves, however; starting with advice when planning a new series of stamps, G&D offers its customers comprehensive services ranging from design, printing, and perforation through to marketing.
Alongside traditional water-activated postage stamps, the easy-to-use self-adhesive stamps are becoming increasingly popular. This type of stamp can be sold in practical booklets of 10 or 20, and provides a faster and simpler way of sending mail. The reverse side of the booklet can also be used for advertising.
Our postage stamps are produced in the securities printing plant in Leipzig on high-quality materials using a modern, multi-color offset printing process. Up to four spot colors can be added to the standard set to enhance the stamp's appearance with additional colors.
The Leipzig facility has been producing stamps for Deutsche Post AG since 1990. It provides the company with commemorative stamps for special events, such as the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament or the Olympic Games, or in memory of famous people. The commemorative stamps are aimed primarily at stamp-lovers and collectors. Like G&D's customers, these groups are extremely demanding with regard to design and quality.

IN the space of 30 seconds the complexion of the Olympics has changed. The fastest man in the world has been beaten. Twice.
First came the 100 metres and Usain Bolt's loss to countryman - and reigning world champion - Yohan Blake. An explainable aberration.
A day later and he did it again, Blake defeating Bolt to win the 200m.
Once is a quirk; twice is a pattern.
When Blake won the 100m world championships in Daegu last year there was an asterisk to the win as Bolt had false-started and been eliminated from the event.
At the weekend at the Jamaican Olympic trials he went further to erasing that asterisk, defeating Bolt first in the 100m then in the 200m.
The first win came when Bolt missed the start and trailed in after Blake, who recorded a time of 9.75 seconds to Bolt's 9.86s.
Slow starts plagued Bolt through the heats and then the final, perhaps a relic of the blunder in Daegu when he jumped the start and was eliminated.
Blake then beat Bolt again in the 200m, winning in 19.80s to edge the world-record holder by 0.03s.
Bolt was quick to embrace his training partner and hug him tight, but then laid on the ground to have his right hamstring worked on.
''A lot of people gave me encouragement - said, 'Yohan Blake, you can do it,''' Blake said. ''I just wanted to keep performing and keep going.
''I was not surprised by the big win. I know what Bolt has to offer and I know he was not at 100 per cent. I just tried to keep my form.''
The most imperious performer in world sport since the fall of Tiger Woods, Bolt has often declared he is primarily concerned with how history will regard him and he wants to be a viewed as a legend. So he considers titles only as steps on a path.
Now he is as troubled to work out what ails him physically - his tight hammy - and those difficult starts.
''I'll have to figure out what I did wrong and work on it,'' Bolt said. ''I am the Olympic champion and I have to show the world I am the best. I will always make a comeback. It is not like I was blown away. I know what I need to do to get it right.''
Neither Blake nor Bolt have committed to running both sprints in London, saying they will leave the decision up to their Jamaican coach Glen Mills. ''It's all about work and just needing to get my things together and get it right,'' Bolt said. ''I got to get in the work and figure out what I did wrong. I have to work hard to get ready for the Olympics.''
In the women's 200m, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran a personal best of 22.10s to sweep the 100m and 200m. She'll be joined by Sherone Simpson and two-time defending Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown in the 200m at London.

NEW YORK — The birth of Tom Hanks, dramatic actor, happened during a table read on "Splash."
As the smitten lead Allen Bauer in Ron Howard's 1984 film, Hanks began by going for laughs, an instinct from the sitcom "Bosom Buddies."
"And it didn't go well," said Hanks in a recent interview. "Ron said to me, literally, 'Look, I know what you're doing, and you can't do that here. You're not the guy to be funny. These are not jokes. You have to love that girl.'"
Hanks wasn't done with comedy ("The Bachelor Party," for one, was to follow), but his trajectory was altered for good: "I was upbraided right off the bat."
"So off it began," says Hanks, who realizes it could have easily gone another direction. "I wasn't that far away from putting together three minutes at the Improv."
Some will always wonder what might have happened had Hanks, with a rare gift for comic timing, put those three minutes together.
But three decades after that course correction from Howard, Hanks, 57, may well have given the finest dramatic performance of his career.
In the new docudrama "Captain Phillips," Hanks bears none of that youthful, comic energy, but rather the skill of a grizzled veteran. Gray-bearded and in glasses, his Captain Richard Phillips is for Hanks — who has made a career out of playing ordinary guys — the most regular Joe of them all: a working-class, cargo ship captain from Vermont.
The film is based on the 2009 incident where Phillips' ship, the Maersk Alabama, was hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia.
He was kidnapped in a lifeboat, which led to a fraught standoff with the U.S. Navy. For Hanks, who has considered himself something of a "lay historian" since junior high and has a filmography dotted with period tales from "Saving Private Ryan" to producing "John Adams," "Captain Phillips" is a more recent chapter in history for the actor.
It's a simple story, told with Paul Greengrass's visceral, documentary-like naturalism and an empathy that stretches around the globe. With the steady accumulation of details about a small band of desperate, young Somalis (played by a quartet of Somalia-born men from Minnesota) and the responses of the ship's crew, "Captain Phillips" re-creates the hijacking into a tensely realistic thriller.
When the stress of the standoff finally breaks, a wave of relief overtakes Phillips in an exceptionally raw scene unlike any before in Hanks' career. Partly improvised toward the end of a lengthy shoot on ships off the coast of Malta, it's an outpouring that elevates "Captain Phillips" to a higher plane.
"We had been through a lot," says Hanks. "In the course of making a movie, everything that you sort of pretend has happened to you is actually a very tangible thing that's happened to you. So by the time we got there — I don't know how to explain it — there was a place for going there."
"It all happened in a daze as far as I'm concerned."
The role is sure to land Hanks his sixth Oscar nomination (he won for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump"), yet it's been more than a decade since he was last nominated (for "Cast Away" in 2001).
In between, he's had some duds ("The Da Vinci Code," "Angels & Demons," both with Howard), tried farce with the Coen brothers ("The Ladykillers") and attempted some interesting stretches (playing six characters in last year's "Cloud Atlas").
He's directed his second film ("Larry Crown"), made his Broadway debut (Nora Ephron's "Lucky Guy") and expanded his production company, Playtone, into digital media ("Electric City" for Yahoo). But with the exception of the snappy and smart "Charlie Wilson's War" (which, unlike "Captain Phillips," traded on Hanks' charisma) it has been a while since Hanks has been so well suited to a film.
"I'm too old now to have an idea of what I'm going to do," says Hanks, who revealed on "The Late Show" on Monday that he has type 2 diabetes.
"Movies, they're like leaves on a river," says Hanks, who also stars as Walt Disney in the upcoming "Saving Mr. Banks." "You've got to sit by and collect them as they go by." (He immediately repeats the phrase in the mock voice of a wise shaman.)
Though Hanks was initially drawn to the story by Phillips' memoir (the actor twice went to Vermont to meet with the captain) and the script by Billy Ray, working with Greengrass (the director of "United 93" and "Bloody Sunday") meant a very different experience. The British director rehearses at length and then shoots long, unblocked scenes with hand-held cameras.
Raising to the same kind of exasperated inflection as his famous "There's no crying in baseball" line from "A League of Their Own," Hanks recalls his initial puzzlement at how Greengrass crafts such verisimilitude.
"I said, 'I don't know how he does this! How does he get this?'" says Hanks.
"Look, I know how movies are made — the shots and the thing and the storyboards and all that kind of stuff. I know that. But how does he do this?"
Hanks found that he relished the process, allowing him to focus purely on behavior: "We didn't have to worry about lights or marks, particularly. The scene just took us every place that the scene took us."
Greengrass isn't prone to hyperbole, but he plainly states that Hanks is "a great American, a truly great man."
"In a cinematic era where the landscape is dominated by superheroes ... he's an actor who's built that fantastic career playing ordinary men," says Greengrass. "It means that each of those parts, you're giving yourself much less room. You can only aim at people who've got limitations to their powers, limitations to their emotional range."
"Captain Phillips" humanizes its hijackers as young men in a war-torn country, pressured by tyrannical warlords to achieve the highest ransom possible from the ships sailing past Somalia's shores.
Some may see a connection to the al-Qaida terrorists from Somalia that recently attacked a mall in Nairobi, but as Hanks says: "Other than the word 'Somali,' there's no connection to it. ... One is robbing and the other is terrorism."
Greengrass purposefully kept the Somali actors away from Hanks before they shot their first scene together, when the pirates storm the bridge of the ship. For the director, it was the moment of truth for his non-professional actors: "I'm on the monitor thinking: I've sort of bet the movie on this."
Barkhad Abdi, who plays the captain of the pirates, says he realized the importance of the scene, but "at the same time, we were all excited to meet Tom." The 28-year-old marveled at how Hanks would be joking with the guys on set right up until a take started.
"But the second the scene starts, he literally becomes the character," says Abdi. "When I saw that, that helped me make my character better. He became that guy — he became Captain Phillips — so I had to become, too."

A survey published this morning by Ofcom looking at typical broadband speeds proves conclusively the speeds users get are less than half that of the advertised speed.
While the average speed increased from 5.2Mbps to 6.2Mbps between May 2010 and December 2010, it still represented only 45 percent of the average advertised broadband speed, which was 13.8Mbps. Indeed the report goes on to say that the increase was actually due to a change in methodology designed to be more representative of the way in which data is downloaded by consumers rather than an actual increase in speeds.
In its report to the Committee for Advertising Practice (CAP) and Broadcast Committee for Advertising Practice (BCAP), Ofcom is recommending that if speeds are used in broadband advertising they should be based on a Typical Speeds Range (TSR), so consumers have a clearer idea of what speeds to expect. Ofcom also recommends that the TSR must have at least equal prominence to any maximum 'up to' speed, and that a maximum speed must be used only if it is actually achievable in practice by a material number of consumers.
The research looked at 11 packages provided by the seven largest ISPs in the market, representing over 90 per cent of residential broadband subscribers in the UK. Over 18 million separate service performance tests were carried out in over 1,700 homes during November and December 2010. Looking at the different technologies, Ofcom concluded that next-generation superfast broadband services were significantly faster than current generation services. Broadband services delivered by fibre-to-the-cabinet were measured for the first time and, along with cable services, delivered faster average speeds much closer to advertised speeds than was the case for current-generation broadband technologies.
One of the only good points to come out of the survey was the upload speed achieved by BT's Infinity service which averaged at 8Mbps – significantly higher than any other service including Virgin's 'up to' 50Mbps service which averaged uploads of just 2.5Mbps.
Virgin however were quick to get behind the survey's recommendations. Jon James, executive director of broadband at Virgin Media, said: "Ofcom's latest report is yet another damning indictment that consumers continue to be treated like mugs and misled by ISPs that simply cannot deliver on their advertised speed claims. "In a nascent market for next generation broadband, the sub-standard fibre optic services being sold are undermining people's faith in fast broadband. Consumers shouldn't have to suffer from this speed lottery and have a right to get what they pay for."
Ofcom made five main recommendations in its report:
- A TSR representing the range of speeds actually achieved by at least half of customers (around the median) should be used when using speeds in broadband advertising;
- If a maximum 'up to' speed is used in an advert, then the TSR must have at least equal prominence;
- Advertisers should include a qualification alerting consumers that they can confirm the likely speed that they will receive when buying their service;
- Any reference to broadband speed in advertising (for example, words such as "fast", "super-fast" or "lightning") must be accompanied by a TSR, which should have at least equal prominence to these words;
- The word unlimited should only be used when a service has no usage caps implemented through a fair usage policy.
Some ISPs have signed up for a more robust Code of Conduct which comes into force in July and those who have signed up have committed to explain to new customers the access line speed they are likely to achieve at home. While this won't solve the problem, it may help and with Ofcom's recommendations likely to be enforced sooner rather than later, we can hopefully look forward to more realistic advertising in the future.
