The boat rocked. A scraping sound echoed through the night.
Screams. Everyone, everywhere was screaming. Running. People running. The tears. The confusion.
"What happened?" Jane Allick asked the terrified people as they passed.
No one stopped to answer. The confusion.
A member of the crew brushed past her. She grabbed his arm. "What's happening?"
"We hit an iceberg! Get up on top!" he shouted and continued on his way.
The confusion melted into dark black fear. The fear did not grip her all at once, it swelled in her, slowly spreading at first then it shot through her, so she could hardly contain herself. The fear.
The children!
She ran back into her lower-class room on the HMS Titanic.
"What's going on out there?" her husband asked sleepily.
"We've hit an iceberg, Paul, we have to get out on deck."
The fear. His eyes widened. "The children!" he shouted.
She nodded.
His shouting awakened the children. Two wide-eyed little girls, one four, the other two, climbed out of bed. The fear.
"What's going on?" the eldest child asked.
"Well," their father began. "We have to put on our life jackets and get out on deck."
"Why?" the younger one asked.
"Don't ask questions," Jane said evenly.
The children stared at their parents, not knowing what to expect. The fear.
The small family put on their life jackets and walked out into the hallway. A grief-stricken crew member was wandering past them. He frowned when he saw Jane and Paul. When he looked down and saw the two little girls, his eyes filled and his face contorted. The fear.
The crew member regained his composure, pulled Paul across the hall, and whispered something to him. Paul' eyes were filling. He wiped them, and walked back to his family. As the crew member walked away, Paul thanked him and blessed him and wished him luck.
Paul pulled his wife close. "There are no more lifeboats."
Jane tried to pull away, but Paul held her tight.
"Go back to bed," he said to the children.
Slowly, the older girl climbed into bed.
"I thought we were leaving," the younger girl asked.
Paul lifted her up and kissed her on the forehead. He carried her over and set her in bed. He then kissed the older girl gently on the forehead.
"What's happening, Mommy?" the older girl asked.
Jane walked over and knelt next to the bed. "Well," she said. "You know all those stories about God and heaven and the Bible? If you go right to sleep, when you wake up--" Jane could not continue. If she kept talking, the sob in her throat threatened to make her cry.
"What will happen when we wake up?" the youngest asked.
Paul walked over and put a comforting arm around his wife. "Go to sleep and find out," he said with a sad smile.
The two little girls curled up in the sheets and drifted off to sleep.
The fear melted away into a cold gray acceptance. Paul and Jane climbed into bed.
Jane slipped her hand into Paul's. "Good night, Paul."
Paul squeezed her hand. "Good night, my love."
With that, Jane shut her eyes. There was nothing they could do; nothing anyone could do anymore. Both her hopes and fears slowly drifted away on the waves in the sea around them.
Then she heard something strange: violins. Above the sounds of people running and screaming, above the sounds of people arguing with their last breaths, above the crashing waves, the calm music floated through the cool air and filled her mind.
Jane slowly drifted off to sleep.

Wings To Soar
Horses are galloping wind.
On swift feet they carry us,
Mere mortals on their backs.
They are the rushing rivers,
The babbling brooks.
Silly creatures wise beyond their time.
Agless beauty knows no bounds,
Racing over the track,
Jumping over hurtles,
Dancing to the beat of many hearts,
Drumming out a rythem for us to make our own.
Someone to believe in us,
Someone to hold us steady,
Giving us courage we never dreamt we had.
They make the impossible possible.
Man and beast joined as one.
Mind and soul work together,
Linked together ...

Liverpool fuelled the growing belief that the English championship is on its way back to Anfield after 24 years by thrashing Tottenham 4-0 on Sunday, lifting the team to the top of the Premier League above Chelsea.
On a successful day for the Merseyside clubs, Everton won 3-1 at last-place Fulham to close to within four points of fourth-place Arsenal ahead of their meeting at Goodison Park next weekend.
Liverpool - the league's top scorers - produced another masterful attacking display against a porous Spurs defence, with Younes Kaboul's second-minute own-goal added to by strikes from Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson to seal an eighth straight win for the Reds.
They made the most of Chelsea's 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Saturday and are two points clear of Jose Mourinho's side with six games left.
Manchester City, who drew 1-1 at fourth-place Arsenal, are two points further back in third and crucially have two games in hand.
The destiny of the Premier League is in Liverpool's hands, though, and the momentum is with them.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" - the club's anthem - is being sung with renewed gusto before every game while scarves and flags are out in force in the stands, recalling the period in the late-1970s and early 1980s when Liverpool was the dominant team not just in England but in Europe.
"Outstanding team performance and I thought the supporters were brilliant - that's as good as I've heard at Anfield since I've been manager here," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said. "It's been a tough period over 20-odd years, and they can see something building here."
"For us, the mantra has always been to focus on the next game, we never get too carried away," Rodgers said.
"It is very difficult, there's lots of people dreaming about Liverpool winning the title."
Six straight wins now separate Liverpool from its first English league title since 1990 - and two of its remaining three home games come against Chelsea and City. One way or the other, the destiny of the trophy is likely to be settled on Merseyside.
"There is no doubt they understand this is going to be a real tough place to come," said Rodgers, whose team have picked up 43 points from a possible 48 at Anfield.
"We love playing here.
"The support today was incredible and that is only going to intensify as the season goes on. It works for us rather than against us."
The Reds are unlikely to find a defence as compliant as Tottenham's, however.
Chelsea and City must come to Anfield next month and they will not relish the task one bit. Certainly Spurs didn't look up for the fight - they conceded after 97 seconds and were all over the place in defence in another dire performance against a leading club.
Sitting up in the stands, Spurs coach Tim Sherwood put his hands to his face as one mistake after another by his backline gave Liverpool a flying start.
This defeat left Tottenham eight points behind fourth-place Arsenal in the race for the final Champions League qualification spot and again exposed its shortcomings in the big matches this season.
Kaboul, who endured a miserable match, turned a deflected cross into his own net to set Liverpool on their way and substitute centreback Michael Dawson inadvertently set Suarez clear in the 25th for the Uruguayan to put away his 29th league goal of the season - a Liverpool record in the Premier League era, surpassing Robbie Fowler (from 1995-96).
The second half was just as one-sided, with Coutinho finishing off a wonderful team goal in the 55th with a low drive from 25 metres before Henderson's inswinging free kick missed everyone in the area and landed in the bottom corner.
The way Everton is playing, there could yet be two Merseyside clubs in the Champions League next season.
Roberto Martinez's side secured a fifth consecutive league win thanks to an improved second-half performance at Craven Cottage, where they took the lead in the 50th when Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale turned a deflected shot by Steven Naismith into his own net.
Ashjan Dejagah drew Fulham level in the 71st with a stunning 25-metre drive that beat Tim Howard at his near post, but well-taken goals by Kevin Mirallas and Naismith in the final 11 minutes saw Everton home.

I'm always overwhelmed at this time of year by how fast and furious the Jewish holidays seem to descend upon us. Tonight is the beginning of Succot, a week-long holiday with some other holidays thrown in at the end that make for a very celebratory and somewhat confusing time.
I confess to being largely unprepared and having nothing succinct to say at the moment. So, notwithstanding the holiday, if I can get my act together I may pop back in over the next few days with a comment or two. Anyway,
Chag sameach.
Update: It's not going to be a happy holiday in Sderot, where two small children were murdered today and several others were wounded in Kassam rocket attacks launched from the Gaza Strip.
OTOH, this Sderot resident believes in Succot miracles.

A COTSWOLD billionaire is one of 30 people who have been given a seat in the House of Lords after being granted a peerage.
JCB boss Sir Anthony Bamford, who lives with his family in the village of Daylesford, has been made a Conservative peer after years of making generous donations to the party.
Sir Anthony, who is chairman and managing director of family firm JCB, was recently commissioned by the government to prepare a report on UK manufacturing and has been described by a Tory source as a "leading industrialist who has made a massive contribution to British business".
However, many members of the opposition parties have criticised Mr Bamford's appointment claiming that his peerage comes as a thank you for reportedly donating £5million to the Conservatives.
Labour MP Steve McCabe said: "It's another example of the Prime Minister standing up for his wealthy donor friends while families see their living standards fall."
Justice Campaigner Doreen Lawrence and James Palumbo, the head of the Ministry of Sound, were also included on the list of working peers.
A spokesman for JCB said: "Sir Anthony is looking forward to making a positive contribution on key business and industry issues, particularly in relation to manufacturing, engineering and exporting."

HBO has released the first teaser for its upcoming film Game Change, which follows John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign from his selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate to their ultimate defeat in the general election. The trailer showcases Julianne Moore as Palin, Ed Harris as McCain and Woody Harrelson as McCain adviser Steve Schmidt as they search for a vice presidential candidate that would help thwart Barack Obama's momentum — and culminates with the big coming-out party for Palin at the Republican National Convention. Game Change, produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman's Playtone, directed by Jay Roach and written by Danny Strong, premieres in March. The movie will not be as controversial as it would've been had Palin decided to run for president next year.
TV TEASER: Julianne Moore As Sarah Palin In HBO Film 'Game Change'
36 Comments
Does anyone know if the screenplay rakes Elizabeth Edwards over the coals the same way the book does? (I'm not advocating for this by the way. I think the film would be wise to let the woman rest in peace – just curious.)
McCain/Palin. Those are the only two featured. No one else.
I'm hugely disappointed that the movie is going to focus — so much on the McCain/Palin campaign.
The best part of the book was the Edwards affair and Elizabeth Edwards.
There was so much material to work with and HBO gets such a high caliber of actors for these projects that they should have done it as a 4-part mini-series.
Who is playing Barack Obama? Axelrod? Etc?
From the trailer, and the cast list on IMDB, it looks like this version of Game Change is focused on a portion of the book — the McCain/Palin campaign.
From what I hear, the book mainly focuses on the McCain/Palin campaign, so the movie just sticks to that. Barack is apparently just shown in news clips.
The book was based on the entire election. McCain/Palin was only a small portion at the end. The big part was Hillary vs Obama vs Edwards. Which is the more backstabbing story that should have been made.
Can Woody say "game changer" one more time in the trailer?
Looks like the equivalent of acting karaoke.
one of the best comments ever…
so right.
Tina Fey would've made this a great comedy!
Woah, props to casting / makeup
While I think Fey's Palin is spot on Julianne and Harris look amazing in there roles here.
The real insult is that Moore is to old for the part…..and not as pretty. The few people who watch this drek may think to themselves, DAM! I should have voted for McCain! Obama is a failure!! Palin would be a better VP then Biden, who has hairplugs bleached teeth and a fake tan….and is nutz.
Moore is just four years older than Palin.
Makeup, possible plastic surgery & just taking care of yourself easily covers up that minor age difference.
Hit job against conservatives. Blow job for liberals.
I will say this: it would be cheaper just to get a "rent boy" like all those family values guys do.
Who is really the audience for this film at this point? The books out and done. Is it really going to illuminate anything that is really relevant or hasn't been explored or exploited every single night on either Cable TV editorial programs or comedy-news shows? I'd say a rare surprise miss for HBO who is usually more out front on these kind of things… This makes them seem as behind the curve as the theatrical movie makers when it comes to political films.
They got this entirely wrong. They made it look like a gimmick, a freak show, a "serious" SNL skit rather than show Julianne Moore, an extraordinary actor, doing something more than a so-so impression of Palin. They communicated the lack of depth to the project, rather than making us think there might be something more to it.
Listen to the soundtrack.
It's not like "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is playing underneath!
Maybe the real reason this looks lousy is that Julianne Moore is not an "extraordinary actor." She's fair and sometimes downright awful ("The Kids Are All Right" anyone? Hey, look, I'm acting like a lesbian! All rough and slangy and all!) I liked her work in the beginning, that 'Who IS that?' reaction to the Uncle Vanya thing, but she's become almost unbearably self-conscious. And Tina Fey's perfect mimicry of Palin is going to make this even worse.
Julianne Moore has four Academy Award nominations, 3 BAFTA nominations and countless other critic and festival nominations and awards. If she's fair to awful, then every actress should strive to be that bad.
If you haven't seen Moore in Magnolia, Boogie Nights, and End of the Affair, you clearly can't conceptualize her artistry. A brilliant actress, and deserving of every accolade.
You've made my point. Every film you've cited is an older one, not recent. She hasn't shown much depth for years. She was forced and ridiculous in "A Single Man", embarrassing in "The Kids Are All Right." The "conceptualize her artistry" thing made me laugh out loud, by the way, so thanks for that.
Excuse me but she did NOT act "all rough and slangy" in the least. Hate all you want but maybe you aught to look at the film again to get your facts straight.
That thing looks like it would do Monster BO.
People would pay money to both love it and hate it!
Movies about politics almost never make money at the box office.
ugh. please shes had way too much time in the public eye. can't we let her die somewhere
A little too late for HBO on this one. Palin is beyond irrelevant.
Is this movie following the book completely? Half the book was based on Edwards vs Obama vs Hillary. Which was more important then the Palin/Cain aspect which came at the end. I hope they bring up the Edwards affair, and what about me. Joe the Plumber.
Sarah Palin is no longer really relevant. She sits from the sidelines, doing pretty much nothing (unless you count bitching about everyone else while giving no solutions of her own). She's not a public servant, and from her failed "documentary" to Todd's rejected reality show, it's pretty evident the public has had enough. I love most HBO programming but I'll be passing on this one. And Alex, you may want to get out of your fox news bubble or wherever it is you've been spending time lately to be so out of touch with your fellow Americans. No matter how disappointed one may be with President Obama, the prospect of Sarah Palin being anywhere near the White House is far, far more unappealing.
What is the point of this exercise? To dredge up all the bullshit antipathy we all went through four years ago? Who needs it? We're going through it in real life right now.
I read the book. I love the book. It would have made a great miniseries. The main characters are Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, David Axelrod, John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards, THEN John McCain, and then Sarah Palin. The McCain/Palin storyline is at most one third of the book. This movie's sole purpose seems to have hinged on Palin running for president, so they could use this movie to take her down. If they'd done the whole book, it would have been fascinating. But no, they turned into a partisan hit piece by only telling the GOP thread, the boring thread from 2008.
What? Partisan? HBO? "from the writer-director of 'Recount?'" You don't say.
HBO, I look forward to your Fast and the Furious scandal pic. JIC, tho, I'm not holding my breath.
Ed Harris always looks like he chews worms for breakfast and Woody Harrelson may actually do that on the marijuana farm. Do the Golden Raspberries give awards for TV movies?
The whole story could make a good movie. McCain the vainglorious scold who can't give a decent speech picks Palin as a way to energize his half-baked, "I'm a great war hero" campaign. She steals the spotlight because she's pretty, poised on camera, and gives a great speech. McCain fumes and is jealous. Steve Schultz, McCain's minion, undermines her at every turn. The media slanders and trashes her, turning her into a martyr figure. McCain loses, then sticks Palin with the enormous bill for her original vetting, which then drives Palin to resign the governorship so she can go make some money in the hopes of paying it off. She ends up a bigger force (and wealthier) than she ever would have been as governor of Alaska. It reminds me of A Star Is Born.

When police discover that a mob hitman has moved in next door to the Robbersons, they want to find out what he is up to. So they set up a stakeout in the Robberson's home. Hard-nosed, tough-as-nails Jake Stone is assigned to the stakeout. But now it's a question of whether Jake can last long enough to capture the bad guys. The Robbersons want to help so they are driving him crazy.
A normal suburban husband (Chevy Chase) with a fixation for cop shows, becomes well and truly bitten by the NYPD bug after his home becomes the venue for a stakeout led by rugged policeman Jack Palance. Despite a promising opening and a smattering of rib-tickling moments, this good-natured comedy quickly dips into familiar territory, substituting mawkish sentimentality and the moral responsibility of crime-fighting for its earlier amiability.
Not funny.

Quote from Room Decor Style Meets Beautiful Imagination and Passion :
These are the pictures of the rooms. If you love stripe accent, you can applied it into the carpet or the wall. See, there is grey striped carpet on the black oak flooring. Above the carpet is the black chair. The next picture is white orange striped. It is the carpet design. But, if you like it, this idea can be exercised into the wall. After that, you can see the striped carpet which is designed with grey sofa in skirt, wooden table with good carving and other furniture designs. It is natural room style ideas.

When James Blake debuted on the independent music scene in 2011 with his self-titled first LP, his appeal lay not only in his musicianship and songwriting abilities, but in his unique, genre-defying sound. Fusing dubstep with serious classical piano chops, jazz chords, and soulful vocals, Blake's music is strikingly unique, yet surprisingly cohesive. Pair all of this with charming interpersonal awkwardness and a British accent, and you have an instant commercial success. While it isn't … [Read more...]

NEW YORK - Brooklyn's Brook Lopez scored 26 points and the Nets had several key stops down the stretch, but Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said his own team was more at fault for Friday's 86-76 loss.
They simply didn't take care of the basketball, he said.
"The turnovers really hurt us tonight. We have to do a better job of controlling that. We had 20 turnovers tonight," Del Negro said. "Every time we got a stop, we turned it over on the break or stepping out of bounds or just not executing the way we need to.
"We didn't shoot the basketball. We missed a lot of easy shots, but it was really more we'd get a stop or two and then we could never get any rhythm. We didn't do a good job moving the basketball.
"I thought the game in the second half kind of slowed down to their pace."
The Nets allowed just 10 baskets in the second half and held Chris Paul and Blake Griffin scoreless in the fourth quarter. Griffin didn't even attempt a field goal.
"It was impressive," Lopez said. "I was talking to MarShon (Brooks) on the bench, I was like, `Man, we're just getting stop after stop.' And you know we started converting on the other end, and that was huge for us."
Brooklyn outscored the Clippers 23-13 during a final quarter in which Paul had no points, one assist, two turnovers and six fouls.
Joe Johnson added 19 points for the Nets, who limited the Clippers to 29 points in the second half and got back on track after losing the final two games of a six-game trip.
Griffin and Paul each had 14 points for the Clippers, who have dropped two in a row following a six-game winning streak. DeAndre Jordan had 12 points and 13 rebounds, and Jamal Crawford finished with 13 points.
The Nets particularly got to Paul, who has trying to bounce back after going 2 of 14 and finishing with nine points and nine assists in a 117-111 loss at Oklahoma City, the first time he had been held to single digits in each statistic in the same game since last April 12.
"You've got to be able to do it on the road. Good teams can. Good teams execute on the road down the stretch," Paul said. "Everybody knows what their role is and we got to do better. That starts with me."
The Nets got a boost from Reggie Evans, who came off the bench to finish with six points and 12 rebounds in 22 minutes against his former team. He said the ease with which the Clippers scored early gave him motivation.
"I know when they get frustrated, I know when players may want the ball and they're not getting it and stuff like that, so it's kind of good I played with them, kind of used that to my advantage," Evans said.
Each team scored just 38 points in the middle two quarters, but the Nets finally got some offense in the fourth.
Keith Bogans made a 3-pointer to snap a 63-all tie entering the period, and the Nets had the lead until the Clippers scored five consecutive points to tie it at 74 on Crawford's layup with 4:15 to play.
Gerald Wallace made one free throw with 3:58 remaining and Lopez had consecutive baskets to make it 79-74 with 3:03 to go. The Clippers turned it over and the ball came to Johnson in the corner after a scramble for an offensive rebound, his 3-pointer making it 82-74. Deron Williams followed with a pair of free throws as the lead hit double digits.
Caron Butler had seven points on 3-of-9 shooting in his return to the Clippers' lineup after missing a game with a right shoulder strain.
Williams didn't have a great game for the Nets, but he improved to 14-4 in the longtime rivalry between him and Paul, two of the NBA's top point guards.
"We just tried to make things as hard as possible for him," Williams said. "He was getting in the lane and able to dish in the first half to a lot of guys and we were kind of switching a little bit at the end and putting our big guys on him and just trying to make him finish.
"And he ended up turning the ball over a couple of times down the stretch, which was good for us because he does a great job taking care of the ball."
Williams had 11 points and eight assists but continued a shooting slump by going 3 of 10.

Speaking five years after the publication of his report, Don Cruickshank said this merited the setting up of a separate regulator.
He feels the government has reneged on its promise of industry reform.
We asked if you felt there was enough competition in the industry, if there is anything wrong with banks making large profits, and also asked for your thoughts on the current clearing system.
A selection of your comments are posted below.
This debate has now closed.
Yes, I do think there should be a separate regulator for banks.
I have been with my bank for over 25 years, and somewhere in the past few years it has changed its policy from not allowing a retail transaction if the account you are using is overdrawn, to paying every single transaction and charging you for the privilege.
I think this is deplorable.
It seems the only way around this is to keep £1000 in your current account at all times to avoid charges. However, I do not want to do this because I would rather keep it in a savings account and earn interest.
I am seriously considering changing my bank after many, many years as I feel I am being used to keep it out of financial trouble while I am being put into financial trouble. Jayne Cooper
I think the banking industry in the UK is archaic and often unfair. I have been banking in Norway for many years. No-one uses cheques, clearing happens overnight, and swift transfers cost half of what they do here.
Also I am disappointed by the huge fees levied by banks when you go overdrawn. This can send you into a spiral of debt, and will hit the poorest hardest. I really do think this is totally unfair. Per Hansen
The bank clearing system needs to be overhauled.
When I lived in South Africa, I could deposit a cheque via the ATM and funds were immediately available. If I deposited a cheque over the counter, funds were available the next day.
If a country like South Africa can have overnight cheque clearance, why can't England be the same?Roy Douglas
With internet banking I never pay any bank charges. There is no need to pay any charges if you're careful.
However I do object to the time it takes to transfer money. This is basically a rip-off. There is no need for it. Technologically it can happen instantly. The banks are resistant to it because it makes them money.Andrew Barber
I think that at their current level of profitability, the UK clearing banks should speed up the payment cycle so that payments initiated by say noon on any business day are cleared that day.
Having to wait three or more business days for clearing is a scandal!James Ward
Banks get an unfair share of bad press.
Contrary to what Mr Cruickshank says, I think the high street banks have improved over the last few years.
Money transmission is the one area where there is no competition. Pressure should be put on the banks to do something, otherwise some form of competition or regulation should be introduced.
Effort should not be wasted on updating the costly and out-of-date cheque clearing system. Instead, it should be directed to getting a fast and efficient electronic funds transfer system.
It might be worth paying a modest charge, and so be more in the interest of the banks to provide such a service.
Perhaps banks should make a modest charge for each cheque written.
Sometimes I see people writing cheques instead of using their debit card.
The individual is not charged, and may not even realise that it is more expensive to process.
Unfortunately, everybody else is indirectly picking up this cost.
It is important we have a profitable banking sector. The returns help fund our pensions and endowment policies.
The damage to the economy would be high if banks went bust due to not being profitable.
Peter Watkinson
I could not believe that Don Cruickshanks's ideas, many of them such obvious common sense, have been stifled by the government.
Does it - and the banks - really believe the banking public are naive?
The retail banking sector has been taking customers for a ride for far too long and the government turns a blind eye.Philip Sarell
I am pleased when my bank makes a profit because it provides me with what are in effect free services, as long as I do not go overdrawn: a cheque book, direct debit, and a debit card.
I look around the market for the cheapest loans or credit cards. If the bank does not make a profit it has no money to lend to industry to create investment and jobs.
The bigger the profit earned the more tax it pays and the more money the government has coming in. I am not a shareholder.
Nigel Gastall
When I transfer money between my bank accounts and credit cards in Australia using internet banking, it happens instantly, in front of my eyes.
In England, again using internet banking, I have had to wait three days for my transfer from bank account to credit card to go through.
In that time I have no access to my money because it is debited immediately and credited three days later. Why do the British put up with this? Stephen Vermont
Well done Paul Lewis!
Don Cruikshank's observations were a breath of fresh air, and Paul Smee's were predictably hypocritical.
Please keep up the pressure on the banks and the government. Somebody has to put an end to all this.Ian H Thain
With all the news relating to this obscene level of profits in the banking sector, how can we morally justify that so many people these days are obliged to pay for accessing their own money?
Is a charge justified when banks and building societies save so much money by using such machines instead having to employ people to do the same task?
Joao Amaral
Bank profits are obscene and the treatment of customers arrogant.
When it comes to cheque clearing, this country is a joke.
This is the 21st Century and other countries have had same-day clearance for so long that they have no conception of waiting for cheques to clear. It is the same incomprehension the French have about British medical waiting lists.
The banks thought they would be forced to offer same-day clearance years ago, and they invested in all the equipment to achieve this.
They have had everything in place for at least two years but they are not going to change anything until they are forced to do it.
They will then market same-day clearance as a fantastic "new" service with added value to valued customers.
It is about time Apacs and the banks were pushed, as they are not about to jump first. Mr M Parker
My husband's salary comes into his account the penultimate day of the month and a sizable transfer to me leaves his account almost immediately.
Someone is making a fortune by these amounts left in limbo, as well as making it difficult for us to access our money at the beginning of the month.Sue Zatland

Each of the four engines on a DC-8 airplane develops 7500 horse power (hp), when thecruising speed is 240 m/s. How much thrust does each engine produce under thesecircumstances?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
By definition the mechanical work done by a force `F` that moves a mass along a distance `d` is
`W =F**d`
where`**` is the scalar product of the vectors representing force `F` and distance `d` . ` `` `Now we consider the vectors parallel and divide the work to the time interval in which it was done to find the power
`P = (F*d)/t = F*d/t =F*v`
where `v` is the speed of the mass on which is applied the force.
Thus for one engine the thrust is (1HP =745.7 W)
`F = P/v =(7500*745.7)/240 =23303.13 N`
The thrust of one engine is 23303.13 N

Peek a Chic
If New York Fashion Week was slyly playing peak a boob then Milan has practically gone for the full on trench coat flasher with the way sheer is making a statement. We can only hope this mammary mania (sorry we just can't help ourselves with the puns) is the first inklings that fashion's banishment of the bosom is finally over. This isn't to say we saw a lot of large tits, but at least we were being presented with the idea of a nipple.
Ennio Capasa at C'N'C Costume National made hay with an entire collection of nearly transparent numbers from sheer dresses to lacey see-through leggings. He really wasn't kidding when he referenced x-ray specs in his run of show notes though to his credit he did unclude under garments. Not the case with Enrico Coveri showed white shirts that might just work for the office that is if your coworkers were amenable to areolas. Ermannno Scervino showed a one shouldered black sweater that might not be ideal for anything but lounge wear. Though we suppose we do know a few very understanding cocktail lounges.
And if they weren't directly giving us the slip, there were other suggestions of impropriety elsewhere. Byblos gave us bras on the outside!
May we posit that hinting and suggesting have replaced the outlandish in Milan's dual culture of flash versus frump? We don't know what it means and we can't think of how to tie it into the recession but we suppose this counts for toned down for Milan somehow. Just wait till the Italians become like the London lads at at Man and start showing us men's nipples!

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a 1998 British crime comedy film written and directed by Guy Ritchie, produced by Matthew Vaughn and starring an ensemble cast featuring Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nick Moran, Jason Statham, Steven Mackintosh, Vinnie Jones, and Sting.
The story is a heist film involving a self-confident young card sharp who loses £500,000 to a powerful crime lord in a rigged game of three card brag. To pay off his debts, he and his friends decide to rob a small-time gang who happen to be operating out of the flat next door.
The film brought Ritchie international acclaim and introduced actors Jones, a former Wales international footballer, and Statham, a former diver, to worldwide audiences. Based on a $1.35 million budget, the film had a box office gross of over $28 million, making it a commercial success.
A television series, Lock, Stock..., followed in 2000, running for seven episodes including the pilot.
Long-time friends and small-time criminals Eddy, Tom, Soap, and Bacon put together £100,000 so that Eddy, a genius card shark, can buy into one of "Hatchet" Harry Lonsdale's weekly high-stakes three card brag games. The game is rigged however, and the friends end up massively indebted to Harry, who fully expects them not to be able to come up with the money before the deadline he gives them. He has his sights set on Eddy's father's bar as repayment, and sets his debt collector Big Chris (who is often accompanied by his beloved son, Little Chris) to work in order to ensure that some form of payment is coming up.
Harry also has his sights set on a couple of antique shotguns up for auction, and gets his enforcer Barry "the Baptist" to hire a couple of thieves, Gary and Dean, to steal them from a private home. The two turn out to be highly incompetent and unwittingly sell the shotguns to Nick "the Greek", a local fence. After learning this, an enraged Barry threatens the two into getting the guns back.
Eddy returns home and overhears his neighbours, a gang of robbers led by a brutal man called Dog, planning a heist on some cannabis growers supposedly loaded with cash and drugs. Eddy relays this information to the group, intending for them to rob the neighbours as they come back from their heist. In preparation for the robbery, Tom buys the antique shotguns from Nick the Greek.
The neighbours' heist gets under way; despite a gang member being killed by his own Bren Gun, and an incriminating encounter with a traffic warden, the job is a success and they return home with a duffle bag filled with money and a van filled with bags of marijuana. The success is short-lived however, as they get robbed by Eddy and friends before they've even unloaded their cargo. Eddy's group decide to keep the money and, with the help of Nick the Greek, sell the drugs to Rory Breaker, a drug dealer with a reputation for violence. Rory agrees to the deal, but later learns that the drugs were stolen from people in his employ and were in fact his all along. Thinking that Eddy and his friends knowingly concocted a scheme to rob him and sell his own drugs back to him, an enraged Rory threatens Nick the Greek into giving him Eddy's address.
Eddy and his friends go out to celebrate their successful heist, and spend the night at Eddy's father's bar. Meanwhile, Dog's crew accidentally learns that their neighbors are the ones that robbed them, and set up an ambush at Eddy's flat. When Rory and his gang also arrive to exact vengeance they have a shootout with Dog's crew, resulting in the deaths of all but Dog and Winston, one of the robbed drug manufacturers. Winston leaves with the drugs; Dog leaves with the two shotguns and the money, but is waylaid by Big Chris who knocks him out and takes everything. Meanwhile, Gary and Dean, having learned who bought the shotguns and not knowing that Chris works for Harry, follow him to Harry's place. Chris delivers the money and guns to Harry, but discovers when he returns to his car that Dog is hiding inside, holding a knife to Little Chris's throat and demanding Chris recover the money. Chris calmly agrees and starts the car. Meanwhile, Gary and Dean burst into Harry's office, starting a confrontation that ends up killing both of them, and Harry and Barry as well.
Having seen the carnage at their flat, Eddy and friends arrive at Harry's to offer their apologies, but when they discover Harry's corpse they decide to take the money for themselves. Before they are able to flee the scene, Chris crashes into their car to disable Dog, and brutally bludgeons Dog to death with his car door in retaliation for threatening his son (who is shown to be unharmed). He then takes the debt money back from the unconscious friends, but allows Tom to leave with the antique shotguns, after a brief standoff in Harry's office.
The friends are arrested, but declared innocent after the traffic warden identifies Dog's dead crew as the prime suspects. Back at the bar, they send Tom out to get rid of the last piece of evidence connecting them to the case: the antique shotguns. Meanwhile, Chris arrives to give the friends back the duffel bag. He has taken all the money for himself and his son, and the bag is empty except for a catalogue of antique weapons. After leafing through the catalogue, the friends learn that the shotguns are actually quite valuable, and quickly call Tom. The film ends with Tom's mobile phone, situated in his mouth, ringing as he hangs over the side of a bridge, preparing to drop the shotguns into the River Thames, ending on a cliffhanger.

The production of the film followed Guy Ritchie's single short film which preceded Lock, Stock. As stated in filmscouts.com:
Although it was Ritchie's first feature, his previous short film The Hard Case, was sufficiently impressive to secure interest not only from financial backers but also persuaded Sting to take the role of JD. "I'd seen Guy's short film and was excited by the pace and energy in it. The way in which he handles violence and action appealed to me. I don't like gratuitous violence. I think it's much more chilling when it's suggested rather than graphic." For Ritchie, getting exactly the right actor for each role was essential. "The casting took forever and we auditioned hundreds of people, but I was determined to hold out until we got the real McCoy." This led to employing several genuine ex-cons, who certainly invest the film with its menacing undertones. Ritchie also looked to the celebrity arena to secure the right cast such as Vinne Jones. "I didn't hesitate in casting Vinnie as I have the most incredible respect for his acting capabilities."[3]
A one-hour documentary of the production of the film was released featuring much of the cast along with Ritchie.[4]
Box office[edit]
The film was released on 28 August 1998 in the United Kingdom, and on 5 March 1999 in the United States. Its total gross in the US was $3,753,929.[5]
Critical reception[edit]
John Ferguson, writing for the Radio Times, called the film "the best British crime movie since The Long Good Friday".[6] The film has ratings of 76% on Rotten Tomatoes[7] and 66 on Metacritic.[8]
The film was nominated for a British Academy Film Award in 1998 for the outstanding British Film of the Year. In 2000, Ritchie won an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. In 2004, Total Film named it the 38th greatest British film of all time.
Director's cut[edit]
Focus Features released the Locked n' Loaded Director's Cut in 2006. This version of the film contains more of each of the characters' backstories, and runs at a total time of 120 minutes.

No. 11 seed N.C. State bests Georgetown for Sweet 16 berth
COLUMBUS, Ohio – This season could be better than a rebuilding one, North Carolina State junior Scott Wood insisted when he met coach Mark Gottfried.
"We have the talent and the pieces," Wood told Gottfried, who became N.C. State's 19th men's basketball coach last April.
All those talented pieces Wood talked about nearly a year ago have come together at an opportune time. Sunday, No. 11 seed N.C. State ousted No. 3 seed Georgetown from the NCAA tournament with a 66-63 win at Nationwide Arena in the round of 32.

"How sweet it is," said senior C.J. Williams, one of four N.C. State players in double-figures with 14 points.
N.C. State will head to St. Louis for a date Friday with No. 2 seed Kansas or No. 10 Purdue in the Midwest regional semifinals. The school last went to a regional semifinal in 2005. It had not been to the NCAA tournament since 2006. The Wolfpack knocked off sixth-seeded San Diego State 79-65 on Friday.
N.C. State players had to collectively hold their breath when Georgetown's Jason Clark attempted a game-tying three-pointer, but it was an air ball. That attempt was set by up Wood's missed free throw, a rare miss for the native of Marion, Ind., who came in shooting 92% on free throws. He is also the ACC record holder for consecutive free throws with 66 made in a streak that started late last season and carried over into this one.
"I missed it for CBS's ratings," Wood cracked.
Cue the laughter and good times for N.C. State fans who long for the glory days of the 1974 and 1983 NCAA championship teams. Current players are too young to understand those sentiments, though they know a lot about taking a back seat to Duke and North Carolina.
"We always talk about how we have such a great history at N.C. State," Gottfried said, "but … it's also time to build some things in the present rather than going all the way back to '83 or '74. Our players know that."
In his first season Gottfried has raised the bar significantly for the Raleigh-based school. The Wolfpack recovered from a four-game skid last month and have since won six of seven games. "It was our backs completely against the wall," Gottfried said. "The window is closing and we need to respond. And to their credit, they did."
Gottfried came in to replace former Wolfpack player Sidney Lowe, whose five-year tenure ended last spring with a 15-16 finish. Gottfried coached at Alabama, his alma mater, from 1998 to 2009 and has since worked as ESPN analyst. He resigned in the middle of the 2008-2009 seasons amid criticism of his team's play and the departure of player Ronald Steele. Gottfried led the Crimson Tide to the Elite Eight in 2008.
"When I went to Alabama, I was much younger, 33," he said. "John Wooden told me, 'Don't give (fans) too much too fast. They might start expecting that every year.' "
Too late now.

Thoughts on Civic Pride, German Journalists, and Serendipity in Detroit
(Page 2 of 2)
percent were African American, and 23 percent were Latino—a nice balance that Gordon wasn't necessarily expecting to see.
Gordon said he was particularly impressed by how innovatively the younger players were thinking about Detroit's future. The enthusiasm of the participants also revealed something Gordon hadn't expected: That when we discuss the digital divide in Detroit, we might want to include some basic Internet etiquette tips, such as don't type things in all caps or you'll sound like you're shouting, and don't leave the same comment on every message board or you'll appear to be spamming the system.
Detroit 24/7 Game Finale Video from Community PlanIt on Vimeo.
Part of last night's event involved splitting into small groups to further map the city's future. In looking around the table at my group, I couldn't have scripted a better cross-section of the city: an older African-American gentleman from the west side, two Latino activists from Southwest Detroit, a young white woman from Ferndale who works in downtown Detroit, a visiting architecture student from Germany (Detroit must be big in Germany right now), a young white man from Northwest Detroit, and a facilitator from Detroit Works.
There were a few ideas that came up repeatedly: That neighborhoods need better access to the planning process, because they do care deeply about how the city looks in the future; that city government needs to make an effort to recruit the young entrepreneurs flocking to Detroit so they participate in the planning process, and the mayor needs to pick their brains for innovative solutions to problems like public safety, infrastructure improvement, and job creation. Above all, the people in my group seemed to be saying stop talking and start doing something.
Priya Iyer, the director of digital engagement for Detroit Works' office of long-term planning, says that city officials will incorporate the data and ideas generated by Detroit 24-7 into the "roadmap" currently under development. She points out that the meeting was meant to be the beginning of engagement, not a one-off event. (The next event to solicit community feedback will be a telephone town hall on June 19.) Rishi Jaitly, who oversees the Knight Foundation's efforts in Detroit, says Knight plans to take the platform to other cities so see if the game will spark similar levels of engagement.
"It's not about creating a new Detroit, because that's already here," Dan Pietra, co-leader of civic engagement for Detroit Works' office of long-term planning, told the crowd at last night's event. "We just need to blend our expertise with that of community members. Engagement is really all about establishing relationships, whether digitally or physically."
Lu Yen Roloff swung by last night's Detroit 24-7 meeting on her way to the airport. Her 11-day trip to Detroit had come to an end. As we hugged goodbye, I asked her to keep in touch, though I suspect—especially with all those offers of free event tickets—that she'll be back sooner than she thinks.
After all, that's how it happens. Something about the city's promise draws those of us who are receptive like moths to a flame. And then the next thing you know, you're sitting on the 3rd floor of the Detroit Public Library's main branch, mapping out the city's future with a table full of your peers.

ARE we pushing Russia into a retaliation?
What if the propaganda from the Ukraine is wrong and the US is believing the worst because of its long hatred of everything Russian and Communist? Will fear start something none of us wants?
It is too easy to say Russia is causing the unrest in Ukraine without any substantial proof. Ukrainian troops have been massing near the border with Russia for months, so the new agreement made in Geneva has already been broken by Ukraine.
Not long ago the Ukrainian people ousted their leader after much bloodshed; Ukrainians, not Ukrainian Russian speakers, and the same government is still in power.
If the Russian speakers in East Ukraine feel their concerns are being ignored in Kiev, they must be allowed to express the feelings of the majority who give support to the uprising; their demand for more autonomy is not outrageous.
The Russian speakers in Slavyansk do not wish to join Russia (like they did in Crimea). Their only wish is to be given more autonomy.
Let's stand back a bit and put pressure on a discredited government in Kiev.

Two new ETFs let investors delve into the complicated world of credit default swaps. Finally, right? Though anyone can buy in, they're mostly for institutions.
In the latest scandal to rock the world of finance, British investment bank Barclays has admitted to manipulating a major index.
On Wednesday, the Securities Exchange Commission adopted a new rule defining who needs to be regulated in the over-the-counter swaps market.
This week the debt crisis in Europe increasingly featured Italy in addition to the already-fraught economies of Greece, Ireland and Portugal. The increased possibility of Italy as a potential debt defaulter alarmed many as the Italian economy is the third largest in Europe.

Winnie Cooper's Baby Is Memorizing The Quadratic Formula
"We're working on some things. He knows his colors and his shapes. He still gets seven when he counts the toes on one foot — he really likes seven right now! He likes it when I recite Pi. And I'm trying to teach him the quadratic formula. He hasn't quite gotten it yet. It's sung to the tune of 'Pop Goes the Weasel.'"
–Danica McKellar aka Winnie Cooper from "The Wonder Years," has successfully transitioned from sitcom star to math missionary and author of best-selling books such as Math Doesn't Suck, and now she's teaching her 23-month-old son Draco (god, best name ever) some algebraic basics. Is it wrong that I'm a bit relieved to find out that a two-year-old hasn't quiiiiite gotten a grasp on the quadratic formula yet? It took me a while to memorize it when I was in high school, even when my math teacher brought in a guitar and taught us the song, which is now stuck in my head ("The opposite of B / plus or minus the / square root of B squaaaaared…"). Thanks a lot, Draco. [People]
