The lack of blockbuster movies over the Christmas 2010 period and the first four months of this year squeezed revenue and earnings at cinema company Hoyts during 2010-11.
Accounts lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission show revenue at Hoyts' Australian and New Zealand cinema exhibition business slipped 0.2 per cent to $329.7 million in the 2011 financial year.
A 1 per cent rise in costs, to $279 million, and a $291,964 foreign exchange loss, cut the company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 7.1 per cent to $50.4 million.
An increase in finance costs and a higher tax bill caused the company's net profit slide of 51.7 per cent to $4.1 million.
The accounts cover Hoyts' Australasian cinemas and its movie distribution and Val Morgan cinema advertising companies in New Zealand.
But executive chairman
Mr Kirk said that when those businesses were included, the Hoyts group's total EBITDA increased about 10 per cent during 2010-11.
"Revenue in the cinema exhibition division was flat because the Australian and New Zealand cinema markets were flat," said Mr Kirk, who along with other senior executives owns 10 per cent of Hoyts. Private equity firm Pacific Equity Partners owns the other 90 per cent.
Like its listed rivals
"The product we had over Christmas and up to Easter this year was pretty ordinary," Mr Kirk said.
"There were good films such as The King's Speech, but they weren't blockbusters.
"The line-up of movies has improved since April-May and we're feeling good about Christmas this year."
The Australian cinema market has grown about 5 per cent since June 30, thanks to hits such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 – which has generated $52.4 million in ticket sales and is the third highest-grossing movie ever in Australia (behind Avatar and Titanic) – Transformers: Dark of the Moon, The Hangover Part 2 and Bridesmaids.
"Harry Potter was a big hit for everyone and we've also seen unexpected hits such as Red Dog [an Australian movie that has grossed $21 million since its release on August 4]," Mr Kirk said.
He added that the rest of 2011 was "looking good" thanks to upcoming releases such as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, Puss in Boots, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Adventures of Tintin and Happy Feet 2.
Hoyts' debt grew 8.7 per cent to $296.9 million during 2010-11.
Mr Kirk attributed the increase in the company's debt to the "ongoing rollout of digital technology" in Hoyts cinemas and to the purchase of Queensland company Australian Multiplex Cinemas for $22.8 million in November last year.
Mr Kirk said there was no update on the plan by Pacific Equity Partners, which bought Hoyts from James Packer's Publishing & Broadcasting and West Australian Newspapers in late 2007 for $440 million (it also took on Hoyts' $140 million debt), to float or sell the company.
The soft conditions in the cinema market during late 2010 and early 2011, coupled with the weak state of equity markets, prompted Pacific Equity Partners to put a sale or float on hold earlier this year.

A Steady Rain
Action megastars Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman patrol the mean Street.
Mon Oct 5 2009
THEY FOUGHT THE LAW Craig, left, and Jackman hunt for bad guys; Photographs:...
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>2/5
In Keith Huff's police melodrama A Steady Rain, Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman play hard-boiled Chicago cops whose morals and loyalty are pushed to the breaking point. But wait: Is this casting even remotely plausible? If the famously handsome, charismatic stars were to serve and protect Chicago's dicier precincts, they'd slash crime rates in a week. The two are so physically commanding, so glowing, they wouldn't need guns or handcuffs; men, women—perhaps even feral dogs—would meekly submit to their authority and, pupils deliquescing into heart shapes, gratefully slide into the backseat. It's hard to buy them as morally troubled law enforcers whose lives spiral into a ridiculous, TV-level miasma of revenge, addiction and male rivalry.
However, this epitome of "event theater"—which in terms of writing is no event at all—raises a bigger question: Can producers not exploit brute celebritude for greater good? A Steady Rain is pulling down more than $1 million a week because starstruck hordes want nothing more than to be in the presence of the hunky duo; I wish they wanted more. Still, if the masses will swarm to anything, why not give them art? Why not put Craig and Jackman in a decent play, perhaps a double bill of The Dumb Waiter and The Zoo Story? Hell, I'd rather watch them enact the screenplay of Lethal Weapon than Huff's clich-filled pile of good-cops-gone-bad tropes.
To be honest, the first hour of the script isn't too bad, a briskly written he-said-he-said of dueling monologues (with occasional stretches of dialogue) in which we get to know the pair: Joey (Craig), a lonely, borderline-alcoholic beta male to alpha partner Denny (Jackman). Denny's been skimming money from prostitutes on his beat and justifying the extracurricular cash as his way of protecting them from predatory pimps. It's very logical to Denny (and he invokes logic quite a bit), but he can't see the craven hypocrisy of his actions. Joey, meanwhile, covets Denny's wife without even knowing it, and seems to be waiting for his erratic, self-destructive partner (who at some point starts shooting morphine) to exit the picture. A question hangs over the evening: Which of these guys do we believe?
Huff's writing is often muscular (if steroidal in its testosterone-soaked excess), and the monologue-heavy format is ideal for two actors who spend most of their time in front of cameras making the most of crappy screenwriting. Not that our stars just stand and deliver in close-up: Craig has meticulously crafted a rich character, making himself schlubby and timid and showing off an excellent Chicago accent. Jackman, who couldn't be unattractive if you dressed him in a garbage bag stuffed with tapioca pudding, at least exploits his good looks and robustness as the extroverted, aggressive Denny. But his accent is weak, and frankly, he's not convincing as an Italian-American flatfoot who would screw a hooker on the side, use dope and ignore a gangrenous leg from a stab wound delivered by an enraged pimp. (It's a long story.)
In the last half hour of this lurid morality tale—when the partners cross paths with a Jeffrey Dahmer type and one of his soon-to-be victims—the character study lurches from one contrivance to another as it bloodily beats its way to a ham-fisted conclusion, leaving a high body count. The narrative nadir involves a perp and a puppy. Spoiler alert: One of them gets shot.
Neither John Crowley's direction nor the minimal but effective sets by Scott Pask can be faulted here. The show's weekly overhead is probably one of the lowest on Broadway (minus the stars' fees, which, face it, are insulting by Hollywood standards), but A Steady Rain looks gorgeous. So do the boys. But then, that's why you're here, right? It can't be any other reason.

Sticks are ubiquitous. We see hundreds of them every day. We step on them. We pick them up. We throw them out . We accept them as a constant part of nature's cycle of death and renewal. But we don't often give them much thought. Our eyes pass over them in search of things less insignificant and more beautiful. So this week I decided to celebrate sticks. I'll admit my definition of "stick" may be a little loose but I do hope you enjoy these images.

Stairway, 2010, installation
Monika Sosnowska's works are in continuous dialogue with modernism: with its utopian ideology as well as with the social and political ambitions it became a sign for. Her particular focus is Constructivism, which turned its gaze to architecture as the field that pioneered technological progress. Her works relate to the Socialist construction that was prevalent in Communist states, a building style that produced the environment she herself grew up in, and was shaped by politically-influenced regulations. Over the decades, this style of construction turned into an expression of stagnation, but by the time the resulting harm was evident, it was no longer possible to destroy the mega-structures that housed as many as a thousand families with no options for relocation.
When traveling out of Poland, Sosnowska is equally sensitive to architectural details that expose societal weaknesses, to neglected corners, to the telling hidden spots that normally receive no attention.
Sosnowska arrived in Israel in 2008 through a residency at the Jerusalem Center for Visual Arts (JCVA). As she is engaged in an original and fruitful dialogue with architecture, she was taken on a professional architectural tour of Tel Aviv and its environs. Here, in the White City, no less than in her own Warsaw, Sosnowska found Brutalism and other forms of architecture that thoroughly reflect political choices and social statements. From the wide array of sights she captured in her camera on that tour, the artist selected a photograph she took on Bialik St. as inspiration for the work on view here: a unique hidden spiral staircase attached to the rear of what used to be Tel Aviv's "City Home." This staircase, unusual in the eclectic architectural environment, was built in bare-concrete style; its former status was visible through its current wretched state. The stairs had in fact functioned as the emergency staircase of the Museum of Tel Aviv's History. They were a late, prefabricated attachment to the building in 1971, when it ceased to function as the municipality and became a museum. In 2008, Sosnowska's photograph unwittingly immortalized the stairs a moment before they were removed when architect Meira Kowalsky restored the original building as part of the White City restorations.
Sosnowska's first move was to change the directionality of the stairs. Effecting something like a shift in scales from a minor to a major key, she dictates a spiraling upward gaze, which recalls Derrida's idea of the Tower of Babel "The tower on earth is meant to stretch on high and bridge the gap between the material and the ideal."
After changing our perspective, the artist applied pressure and compacted the object, giving the sculpture its final shape and autonomy. "The deconstructive search assumes... that every tower must... remain hanging in the air, verging on collapse, so that we may have a history, so that we can breathe, or continue building." The focus on the stairs' structure, on the necessary scaffolding, is the basis here, but it is this very structure that in its collapsed state calls out against the ideologies that once glorified totalitarian regimes and of which only ruined monuments remain.
Though it is made of one object alone, with no pedestal, stage or other mediation -- its base and its top equally nude -- Sosnowska's piece fills the museum hall for which it was made, and permeates it entirely. The sculpture is homeless and site-less, and penetrates non-space, the "Negative Condition" described by Rosalind Krauss.
On the vertical axis, a perpendicular sculptural object touches and marks the center between floor and ceiling. On the one hand it is crushed and lowered to the hall's (cube-shaped) proportions, but on the other it seems like a column that holds the space together, prevents collapse and helps the museum "survive."
The circular motion, which is integral both to the initial, inspirational object and to the action of squashing, creates what Adam Budak called Sosnowska's "performative installations." The objects in these installations are characterized by an inherent dynamic force which engenders the sculpture's unique individuality. The immensity and power of the installation is in the folded condition of this large object, in the chaos created out of order, in the unplanned upheaval that has impacted perfect engineering calculations. Derrida says that "Towers of Babel, swirls of Babel, are philosophical necessities, the necessity of the philosophy that exists in the space between the tower and its collapse." Sosnowska's stairway freezes that space and acts as a sign for the way blind ambitions for greatness contain their own potential collapse.

Best tradesman I have ever used. High quality work, wonderful finishes - after the first job we continued to hire him for more work in the house and also around our estate. There is nothing that he cannot do - superb! Would strongly recommend
Turned up on time, finished quickly and left everything tidy.Would recommend.
Great customer service, competitive price and an amazing standard. Would not hesitate to use again and would recommend to others without a doubt. Happy to provide pictures of the great job completed if anyone would like them. Many thanks Jamie and team!
An excellent job, very impressed with the finish and would definitely recommend them.
Wow, this guy was fantastic. Reliable, punctual, polite and really knows his stuff. Def. have him back again. I posted the job on Rated people at 14.00 Wed, he priced the job 18.00 when I got home from work, started at 9.00 Thur and finished exactly as he said. Plus had some plaster left so gave it 3 coats instead of the usual 2. A totally welcome stressfree experience.
We hired Hassan to do a tidy up job in a spare room. We have now found our 'go-to' guy for all things DIY related! He is reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very trustworthy. We felt comfortable leaving him with a spare key after knowing him just couple of days. I would have no problems recommending Hassan for all kinds of structural or decorative work. In fact he is currently quoting for a job next door! He has got a great knowledge of interior design and is a bit of a perfectionist!

|This route had been done before...or a least parts of it had (hence the name). There was an old bolt aid ladder near the top of the second pitch. These were all 1/4 inchers with aluminum home made hangers. Rummor has it that Yvon and Royal did some climbing here when they got colded out elsewhere.

I wasn't going to post this because I'm pretty sure it's bullshit, but everybody else is putting it up and I want to be one of the cool kids. Anyways, The National Enquirer reported a couple of weeks ago that 18-year-old Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical took some nude pictures of herself for her boyfriend Zac Efron. And this, my friends, is one of the alleged pictures. It doesn't really look like her but, hey, it's the internet so who cares? I'm all about ruining lives with absolutely no proof or evidence. And in my spare time I kick babies and give kittens the finger. My job is awesome!
UPDATE: Ignore everything I just said because Vanessa Hudgens has (against all common sense) confirmed that the picture is real. Her rep released this statement to TMZ: "This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public."
UPDATE 2: Had to take down the picture because, well, lawyers are like that.

BURY Croquet Club's Caesars beat their Fylde visitors 6-1 in the North West Handicap League as Tony Philips and Bob Whittle came out on top in their doubles game.
Andy Brandwood won both his singles matches as did Philips and Whittle.
The Advanced team lost narrowly 5-4 at Bowden after Paul Rigge got them off to a fine start with 14-point win before David Barrett and Matt Holmes were whitewashed.
Rigge won again by 17 points and Barrett bounced back with a 12-point victory, although Holmes suffered a 24-point reverse.
The see-saw nature of the clash continued as Barrett went down by 20 points and Holmes was beaten by 24 points before Rigge lost the match decider by just two points.
In the first midweek match, Bury were beaten 4-3 by Pendle and in the Short Croquet League, they went down 14-2 at home to a strong Southport team.

The glamour tie with Stade sparks fond memories for Hill who was coach of Bristol when they stunned the French side 17-0 in November 2007 - the first occasion Stade Francais had been denied a point in 62 Heineken Cup ties.
"Playing Stade Francais will be a special moment for the club and obviously I remember that game at the Memorial Stadium when we defeated them in difficult conditions," said Hill.
"They are a formidable team and playing them home and away will be a real test for the Warriors and one we will really relish and meet head-on.
"I always seem to draw Bucharest in Europe. Whichever club I have coached at we always seem to draw them so I actually had a sneaky feeling we would get Bucharest and Stade.
"The standard of the Amlin Challenge Cup has gone up year upon year and that is shown by the likes of Stade Francais, Toulon and Perpignan all taking part," he added.
"European rugby gives a different type of motivation to the players and they all get excited about testing themselves against new opposition. With the draw we have been given we feel we can go well in this competition.
"The Amlin Challenge Cup is all part of the excitement of getting back into the Aviva Premiership. It all adds a bit of spice to our return to the top-flight."

I was wondering if I paraphrased correctly.
The original article is:(my work is at the end )
Known as the "Napoleon of the women's rights movement," Susan B. Anthony was the co-founder (with Elizabeth Cady Stanton) of the National Woman Suffrage Association. When she was arrested and fined $100 for casting an illegal vote in the 1872 presidential election, Anthony refused to pay, defending her actions in the speech that follows. Note her reliance on parallelism and antithetical structures to convey her forceful message.
On Women's Right to Vote
by Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)
Friends and fellow citizens, I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.
The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:
"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people--women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government--the ballot.
For any state to make sex a qualification that must ever result in the disfranchisement of one entire half of the people, is to pass a bill of attainder, or, an ex post facto law, and is therefore a violation of the supreme law of the land. By it the blessings of liberty are forever withheld from women and their female posterity. To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed. To them this government is not a democracy. It is not a republic. It is an odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever established on the face of the globe; an oligarchy of wealth, where the rich govern the poor. An oligarchy of learning, where the educated govern the ignorant, or even an oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters, of every household--which ordains all men sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every home of the nation.
Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office.
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void, precisely as is every one against Negroes.
my paraphrased work is :
Susan B. Anthony was arrested ,and fined for voting in the 1872 presidential election which was illegal for woman to participate in. she refused to pay the fine she defended ,and explained her act in a speech saying to the people , and citizens of the united states That she did not do anything wrong or illegal. She was supporting her country by precipitating in voting. That right was guaranteed to her and every American citizen to practice and nobody has the right to deny that our federal constitution says:
"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Our constitution said we the people it didn't say we the men, white or black.
Our constitution said we the people all of us all the United States citizens none shall be left out, we are the people who formed the union to secure it. We equally formed it we need to all enjoy our rights equally. It is ridicules, to deprive, and deny woman to vote.
To us this government is ruled by a few elite citizens. To us woman this government isn't a democracy or a republican it is a aristocracy government. Poor govern the rich, white govern black, and men govern woman. Shouldn't we vote aren't we people?

Ive got a table with many fields and rows. One field has a name of who will be working a file. Usually 1 of 10 different names will be in this field. I need to find which name appears the most and how many times it does.
SELECT name
, COUNT(*) AS times
FROM daTable
BY name
BY times DESC
and then, depending on which database sytem you're using (oracle? sybase? db2? postgresql?) you would alter that query slightly to return only the first row
Im having trouble with my order by.... heres what i have...
SELECT Count(Table1.assigned) AS Expr1
FROM Table1
group by assigned
order by Expr1 DESC;
I actually dont need the value of who has the most occurances, just the amount of the most occurances. Im using access and its prompting me to specify the value of exp1?
Tried this as well form within my vba script:
SELECT count (assigned) as CountOfassigned FROM table1 GROUP BY assigned ORDER BY CountOfassigned DESC //gives me error in sql syntax
SELECT count (assigned) as CountOfassigned FROM table1 ORDER BY CountOfassigned DESC GROUP BY assigned // gives me too many too few paramters error
SELECT MAX(humpty) AS most_occurrences
FROM ( SELECT assigned
, COUNT(*) AS humpty
FROM Table1
by assigned ) AS dumpty
