If you like skating and action games, you might want to take a look at Skater Boy, a game in which you own a skate and your goal is to perform many tricks in the air and land safely.
The instructions are easy to follow: tap on the push button (left arrow) to increase the speed and the Jump button (right arrow) to jump or to change the land grind while you're in the air. You'll get the hang of it quickly and you'll find it really fun and entertaining. In every level, there are several checkpoints to you start from each time you fall so you don't need to start from the very beginning every time you make a mistake. Be sure to jump when the obstacles appear, grab all the trophies you can and land safely.
Earn many points, play the 90 different levels and learn how to do air tricks while having fun. This is an entertaining game with a very basic premise; not all the games need to be visually spectacular to work perfectly well.

CHICAGO — SUNDAY, July 1, 2012 (MedPage Today) — Objective measures of heart failure are not related to subjectively assessed symptom burden, researchers found.
Among patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure from a single clinic, three objective measures — left ventricular ejection fraction, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac index — were not significantly associated with physical symptoms, either individually or in combination with each other, according to Quin Denfeld, BSN, RN, a doctoral student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland.
Thus, the objective measures, which are often used as endpoints in clinical trials or to assess treatment efficacy, cannot be used as surrogates for symptom burden in patients with heart failure, Denfeld reported at the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses meeting here.
Symptom burden should be measured along with the objective variables, she said.
"This is important because it informs quality of life and the ability of patients to monitor symptoms," Denfeld said. "Awareness of symptoms is a key component of heart failure self care. Recognition of heart failure-specific symptoms and then response to these symptoms can improve self-care abilities and thus potentially avert repeated hospital admissions, improve survival, and improve health-related quality of life."
On the whole, previous research has suggested that there is not a strong relationship between objective measures of heart failure pathogenesis and physical symptom burden in patients with heart failure. Even so, management strategies and assessments of treatment efficacy are typically based on objective tests.
To explore the relationship between the objectively assessed factors and symptom burden, Denfeld and colleagues performed a secondary analysis of data collected during a study of symptoms among adults treated at the heart failure clinic at OHSU.
All 167 patients included in the current analysis completed the Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale (HFSPS), which measures nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue and weight gain, and acute symptoms like dyspnea. The scale has been shown to work well in patients with advanced heart failure.
The mean age of the patients was 56. Most were male (61 percent), white (87 percent), and had non-ischemic heart failure (62.3 percent).
The objective measures were obtained during a routine catheterization before or after enrollment in the study. Among all the patients, the average ejection fraction was 27.3 percent; the average pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was 18.4 mm Hg; and the average cardiac index was 2.09 L/min/m2.
The average HFSPS score was 24.6 (out of a possible 90), "indicating that a significant amount of patients had physical symptom burden," Denfeld said.
None of the three objective measures was associated with scores on the HFSPS.
The only variable that was associated with symptom burden was the Duke Activity Status Index, which measures functional capacity. Worse functional capacity was related to increased symptom burden.
Denfeld said that clinical trials in the heart failure population should measure symptom burden along with other clinical endpoints, and that it might be interesting for future studies to look for physiological indices that are related to symptom burden.
In addition, she said, future research might also address sex differences in symptom burden. Women, for example, tend to have higher ejection fractions and might have a different awareness of symptom.

A PENSIONER was hit with a £90 phone bill for calls she did not make after her account was accidentally connected to a different line.
When she received her bill, 78-year-old Maureen Roberts found she had been billed for calls to premium rate numbers and for calls to geographic numbers that she did not recognise.
She had always made sure that her account was in credit, and regularly topped it up with pre-paid cards, so was shocked when she received an invoice saying that her account was in the red.
BT agreed to waive the charges, but Maureen has now cancelled her contract and bought a mobile phone for fear of it happening again.
Maureen, who lives in Dobson Street, Darwen, said: "This is the second time it's happened to me. I'm always in credit with them, and I never owe anything.
"But what they've done is had me hooked up to another line.
"There's calls on there that I haven't made. I write everything down when I use the phone, but there's special service calls on there, and calls to Bolton. I don't know anyone from Bolton.
"I've been hooked up to the wrong number. I've had the same number for thirty years, and kept it when I moved house, but it happened before when I lived in Cavendish Street, and I don't really think it's fair.
"I'm a pensioner, that phone is vital to me, because I'm on my own, but I had to cancel.
"It's the principle that I don't like. I'm glad I got shot of them, but I don't think it's fair.
"And what if it happened to somebody else that wasn't aware?"
BT said: "BT is investigating this case as a matter of urgency."

Sky Tower lights up for $750,000 fundraising milestone
16 May 2014
Sky Tower lights up to celebrate $750,000 fundraising milestone
Auckland's skyline will glow red and white from Friday 16 until Sunday 18 May as Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand reach their third fundraising goal of $750,000.
The Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge is taking place on Saturday 17 May which will see 740 firefighters race up 1,103 steps of the Sky Tower carrying 25kg of equipment.
This is the tenth year firefighters have raced up the Sky Tower, which has been lit up in stages each time a major fundraising target is hit - $250,000, $500,000, $750,000 and $1 million.
More than 180 brigades from New Zealand are competing in this year's event including a few international brigades from USA, Hawaii and Australia.
The Sky Tower is New Zealand's tallest man-made structure and SKYCITY frequently lights the Sky Tower to show support for a number of organisations and special events.
SKYCITY often lights the Tower for charities or community initiatives that we support financially, or to mark national holidays, milestones or other celebrations.

Best Skinn Product EVER!!!
By Zeddra
from Toronto
I splash just a little bit on all over my body while still standing in the bathtub after a shower. Recommend you pat dry your skin - don't rub - afterwards. This product has a subtle, yet dazzling scent and leaves my skin softer than I imagined possible (for my age - am close to 60).Also handy to use for intermittent moisturizing. Not oily at all! Best product by Skinn ever!

Very convincing product!!!
By Marnie
from DARTMOUTH
I have been more of a lotion person and not an oil person because I cannot stand that "oily feel" on the skin after applying the oil!!!!!Well, this Radiance oil puts an end to that because this is an oil like no other!!!!!!!!This is like thick water and when applied it soaks and is absorbed into the skin very quickly without any oily residue left on the skin.I have been using this oil for a month or so now-trying to appreciate the different fruity smells.The scent is not overpowering not perfumey and not spicey but fruity and kinda floral!!Blackberry and raspberry bushes mixed with tea leaves and a kind of pungency which I cannot identify-----ALL GOOD!!!The quality of the oil is pure and softens and smooths the skin, while leaving a wee bit of a sheen to the skin.I don't think you can get a better oil for this price or size or bottle anywhere!!!Hopefully when Dimitri comes again, he will provide us with another supply and kit!Maybe-with the body scrub-hint, hint!!!!!Please do not forget your Canadian girls, Dimitri!
Love, Love, Love this product!
By Karen
Now that I am past 50 the skin on my arms and legs is drying up like yesterday's stale bread. I was skeptical at first because I don't like oily products but WOW when I tried this product I fell in love with it. The oil absorbs quickly and leaves my skin looking amazing. As a side benefit, my finger nails began to get stronger and healthier. Now I rub it on my nails deliberately and am equally thrilled with the results. I also love the fragrance. A big high five for this one.

By Walice

Retired Pale Face - #6 for Darlene's excellent review, Run your fingers thru your hair as you are finishing up.I luv the bottle and it took me a couple of applications to get used to the consistency, its runny and gets away from you (LOL).Seriously, I really like what this is doing for my skin, imagine that, one bottle for body, hands and hair, I just came back for two more bottles.

Just received my order today.1. Its true to its ingredients - ALL OILS in it - you can feel it2. My first initial smell was a combination of floral and fruity (both at the same time) as it dried into the skin it then smelt like scented baby powder (its my best description of the scent). The scent is NOT strong or over-powering. Definitely feminine.3. I applied it after my shower and the oils soaked right in - not very much rubbing involved4. You will appear "oiled up" for a few minutes but then it disappears5. After about 15 minutes or so I didn't feel greasy or oily.With all the natural oils in this product - my skin will continue to be and appear healthy and young. Even if you have any scars on you.I watched the video before buying the product. Everything said in the video is true. This will really 'kick' the dry skin into gear especially during the winter season.Well done on this product. Well done.
Light and Airy Scent

This product does everything and more, just as Dimitri James said it would. I love the feel of my skin after using it. The scent is light and Not overpowering. A very Good thing.

launchpad -- yet another hotkey manager for Kindle
View Single Post

Device: Kindle 3/G
I have a bug report and a couple feature requests. The bug is simply that the status bar does not show in landscape mode. The commands work, of course, but there's no status bar.
As for features, I'd really like it if launchpad would send the key presses to the program straight after they've been pressed, and THEN showing it in the status bar. Currently, it shows the success message and then sends the key presses. With programs like MPlayer, this results in a delay between, say, pressing the pause key combo and it actually pausing, usually around 1-1.5 seconds.
Perhaps it'd be nice to be able to turn off the status bar altogether?
Also, being able to add messages to display in the status bar when key combos are pressed would be awesome. Like MPlayer, pressing Shift M N goes to the next song. It's be nice if the status bar said, "Success! - Next Song" or something like that.

Z-Medica, LLC
Establishes New Office in Boston
Staying up-to-date has never been simpler. Sign up for the

BOSTON – June 19, 2013 – Z-Medica LLC, a leading developer and marketer of hemostatic agents, and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) announced today that the company has opened a new office at 470 Atlantic Avenue in Boston, MA. The new office, which opened on May 1, 2013, enables Z-Medica to bring the company closer to one of the world's most active regions for research to advance new therapies to control bleeding.
Z-Medica manufactures the QuikClot® family of hemostatic products. QuikClot is used to treat bleeding by healthcare professionals, law enforcement, first responders, adventure and outdoor sports enthusiasts, veterinarians, and consumers. QuikClot Combat Gauze® is the only hemostat recommended by the U.S. Department of Defense for all branches of the U.S. military for treatment of severe hemorrhage on the battlefield. This month Z-Medica launched a new line of products specifically designed to meet the unique needs of Emergency Medical Services.
"As our company continues to grow and develop new and more effective products to control bleeding, our presence in Boston will represent a great opportunity for us to join with worldwide leaders in life science and academic research who are developing therapies that require advanced hemostasis products," said Larry Hicks, President and Chief Executive Officer at Z-Medica. "At the same time, our new office in Boston will allow us to meet the needs of all of our customers in the region with the highest possible levels of responsiveness and innovation."
"In Massachusetts we invest in the life sciences because we are choosing to shape our own future," said Governor Deval Patrick. "I welcome Z-Medica to our life sciences supercluster and look forward to the jobs and economic opportunities they will bring."
Through the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, Massachusetts is investing $1 billion over 10 years in the growth of the state's life sciences supercluster. These investments are being made under the Massachusetts Life Sciences Initiative, proposed by Governor Patrick in 2007, and passed by the State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Patrick in 2008.
"On behalf of the team at the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, I am excited to welcome Z-Medica to the Commonwealth," said MLSC President & CEO Dr. Susan Windham-Bannister. "Z-Medica's technology is changing how medical professionals approach wound care management in patients, enabling haemostasis, or the stoppage of bleeding, more quickly and efficiently. We look forward to supporting Z-Medica as its team puts down roots and grows in Massachusetts."
QuikClot products are now in their third generation and are impregnated with a mineral called kaolin that has been clinically shown to accelerate the body's natural coagulation cascade. Kaolin is a naturally-occurring, inert mineral that does not contain any botanicals, biological material, or shellfish products. It does not cause any exothermic reaction or vascular complications and there are no known complications. QuikClot products are credited with helping thousands of people survive traumatic blood loss events every year.
"Massachusetts also has a range of important incentives and support services designed to help innovative medical device and life science companies grow and succeed," Hicks added. "We look forward to partnering with the MLSC and many other organizations in Massachusetts to develop new research and business opportunities for Z-Medica in the years ahead."
"I'm excited to welcome the maker of such an important life-saving technology to Boston," said Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "Z-Medica's choice to come to our city where there is access to world-class hospitals and unparalleled workforce talent, will drive innovation in their field and grow their company."
About Z-Medica® LLC
Z-Medica LLC is a medical device company founded in 2002 developing fast acting, easy to use, hemostasis products that stop bleeding wherever it occurs, making it possible to save lives and improve patient outcomes. The company manufactures and markets a portfolio of QuikClot® hemostasis products for use by healthcare professionals, first responders, law enforcement officers, consumers and the military.
Based on tests conducted by the Naval Medical Research Center and the U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research, the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) recommended QuikClot Combat Gauze® as the hemostatic agent for the Department of Defense and for use by all U.S. Military Forces as the first line treatment of traumatic bleeding. QuikClot® products are developed and manufactured in the United States. Z-Medica LLC is a privately-held company. For more information, visit www.z-medica.com
About the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center
The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) is a quasi-public agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts tasked with implementing the Massachusetts Life Sciences Act, a 10-year, $1-billion initiative that was signed into law in June of 2008. The MLSC's mission is to create jobs in the life sciences and support vital scientific research that will improve the human condition.

Sobre o autor
Trickster figures have a tendency of finding their way into my compositions. I channel pathos and subconscious archetypes/symbols resurrecting scenarios that haunt or rejoice the human spirit through triumph or agony. This book was produced with art compiled roughly over 10 years enduring chronic pain, unrequited love, youthful folly, including other tragic comedies, etc...It is truly a paradox of overly expressive pathos-filled cackling sentiments.

'Celebrity Apprentice' Cast Revealed, Not Confirmed
Reality television seems to be running rampant with Kardashian spawn. Entertainment journalist Khloe Kardashian has been somewhat confirmed by Joe Francis as a contestant on the new season of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice.
Francis dished the news on the red carpet for the two-year anniversary for 944 magazine.
Promises the Girls Gone Wild mogul: "It will make me very happy to beat Khloe."
Khloe's sister Kim Kardashian will also be competing with celebrities, but in the arena of dancing on Dancing With the Stars—and doing so with an injured foot.
Other celebrity contestants rumored to be taking part in the Donald Trump-hosted reality series are Olympic skater Scott Hamilton and red-carpet critics Joan and Melissa Rivers, with the rest of the cast yet to be identified.

Overall a Great Cruies: Carnival Liberty Cruise Review by IslandGrl411
Overall Member Rating
Overall a Great Cruies
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
The food on the Liberty was for the most part delicious. I ate in the main dining room 4 out of More the 7 nights. The dinner buffet on the Lido Deck was hit or miss. Most nights it was a miss. Lunch was much better. Guy's burgers were very good ( a little greasy) but still really good. I really like the Mongolian Wok and obvious everyone else because the lines were very long. Breakfast on the Lido deck in my opinion was always very good.
The entertainment on the Liberty was outstanding thanks to the wonderful cruise director Brittany and her trusty assistant Wally. The Lido parties and games were so much fun. Because I was cruising solo, I pretty much did every activity except for bingo. The dance classes were so much fun. Karaoke was an absolute joy thanks to Kim (Karaoke King). I never really got around to going to the Hot and Cool Disco. It was always very empty and boring. I guess it was too early.
The ports were beautiful. I went to Nassau, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. Getting on and off the ship was smooth. The security on this ship was much nicer and polite than the security on the Valor. I purchased my excursions before I cruised. I'm glad I did. That was just one thing less for me to worry about. All of the excursions were good except for the Coast to Coast in Grand Turk. There just isn't much to see in Grand Turk. I didn't do an excursion in Nassau. I hoped on the ferry for 8 bucks and walked around Paradise Island. I did St. Johns in St. Thomas, Walking Tour in San Juan and an additional excursions in Grand Turk the Gibbs Cay Stingray Encounter (amazing)!
My biggest complaints with Carnival are the smoking when you walk thru the promenade deck and in Karaoke and the millions of kids that are allowed to run amuck. If it weren't for the rude, out of order kids running everywhere this cruise would have a five. Even with the wild kids and smoking overall this was a great cruise!! Less

Cabin review: 8328
This cabin was in a great location. It was midship and close to elevators but not so close that the noise was a bother. It was close to the Lido deck and just an elevator ride down to promenade.
Port and Shore Excursions
Stingray Swim
The Stingray Swim at Gibbs Cay was wonderful. There were many stingrays. The guides helped you with the stingrays. They held them while you touched and took photos. They also took photos for $10 each. You pay at the port ( cash only) and they email them in about 2-3 days. If you think you might want the photos make sure you get off the boat first and get immediately in line. You have to view the photos on a laptop and they only had three. Kelvin the Captain was amaizing.
I didn't purchase an excursion. I took the $8 round trip ferry to Paradise Island. I walked around and rode the ferry back. I got a late start to my day and didn't have much time. If I had more time I could have walked to the free beach in Paradise Island. Just an idea if you would like to save some money.
Walking Tour of Old San Juan
I arrived about 30 minutes early and I was greeted by three very friendly tour guides. She answered all my questions and seemed very excited. The tour went thru San Juan. Pointed out serval buildings. We walked to the fort. Once in the fort the guide was very informative. It's essential that you wear comfortable sturdy shoes. Flip flops and other flimsy shoes/sandals not recommended. If you have joint or knee issues please take an ibruprophen the night before and morning of. It is a lot if walking. If u are afraid of closed dark places beware. The guide was good about warning people and letting people wait in places. Also wear sunscreen and sun hats. The tour gives u a bottle of water but bring ur own if it's going to be a hot day. Also you might want to bring some fruit or pack a snack. The tour is long and many people were complaining about being hungry. There was a lot of stopping and talking. If I wasn't solo cruising I would have went on my own. Everything is very close to the ship ( with in walking distance). The city is very easy to get around. San Juan is very small and you feel very safe because there are many people walking around (during the day). I really wouldn't recommend this tour at all. I think you are better off going on your own.
St. John Snorkel/Sail
This was a nice excursion. The beach at St. John Trunk Bay was absolutely beautiful. The water was so clear that you didn't even need snorkel gear to see the fish. I didn't actually snorkel. A lot of people chose not to snorkel. I hung out at the beach and played in the warm water. We only made two stops where we got out of the bus and took a few photos. Other than that the bus was not much of a tour.

All-new 2011 Volvo S60 Makes North American Debut at New York Auto Show
NEW YORK, March 31 -- Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA) pulled the wraps off the all-new 2011 S60 sport sedan today at the New York Auto Show. The all-new Volvo S60 sport sedan will arrive at dealerships later this fall. The all-new S60 introduces a unique safety technology: Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake.
Pedestrian accidents occur every day in our increasingly intensive traffic environments. In the U.S., 11 percent of all traffic fatalities are pedestrians. This equates to approximately 4,700 deaths annually in the U.S., a number Volvo is trying to reduce.
Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake is a groundbreaking technological solution that actively helps the driver avoid accidents. Volvo's radar- and camera-based system can detect pedestrians in front of the car, warn the driver if anyone walks out into its path - and then automatically activate the S60's full braking power if the driver fails to respond in time.
Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake consists of a newly developed radar unit integrated into the all-new S60's grille, a camera fitted in front of the inside rearview mirror and a central control unit. The radar's task is to detect any object in front of the car and to determine the distance to it while the camera determines what type of object it is.
Half of all pedestrian accidents occur at speeds below 16 mph. Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds up to 22 mph if the driver does not react in time. At higher speeds, the focus is on reducing the car's speed as much as possible prior to the impact.
Statistics reveal that the car's speed has considerable importance for the outcome of the accident. A lower speed of impact means that the risk of serious injury is significantly reduced. For instance, if speed is cut from 31 mph to 16 mph, Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake is expected to reduce the fatality risk by as much as 20 percent and in some certain cases up to 85 percent.
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (www.volvocars.com/us) is a subsidiary of Volvo Car Corporation of Gothenburg, Sweden. VCNA provides marketing, sales, parts, service, technology and training support to Volvo automobile retailers in the United States, and oversees Volvo operations in Canada.Video: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/volvo/42856

The questions have to do with how the transformative theory of conflict deals with the possibility of clients that are so evil, we might not want to consider them human. The bottom line is that, as a mediator, it's always appropriate to assume that your clients have the basic human capacity to act with strength and compassion - but as a party, you should be supported in deciding that you don't want to deal with that seemingly evil person.

((First posted in 2007. I've added a bit to this that is in italics))
It's been a long time since the last time my Christmas stocking
was hung up for Santa.
When I was small we didn't have a fireplace so I'm not sure
where we hung them. Perhaps stuck to a doorframe with
thumbtacks? Although one year we had a cardboard red brick
light-up fireplace that I hadn't thought about in years until just
now. And on Capen St. in Dorchester I think we hung them on
the "windowsill" of the wall mural my Dad made. Mom picked
out some large picture of Cypress Gardens and it was hung on
the wall, framed by a wooden picture window frame so it
looked as if you were looking out at all those flowers! ((Dad
even wired it with a lightbulb inside the frame to light it up
at night. This worked well until the plastic model of a bird
I'd placed on the sill fell in and melted against the lightbulb.))
The house in Abington had a real fireplace (and a real picture
window) so the stockings were hung by the chimney, etc. and a
new one was added for my kid brother. A year or so after that
we hung one for the pets as well. But over the years as we
moved one place or another there would be Christmases where
no stockings were hung at all because we couldn't figure out which
box they'd been packed away in during the last move.
As for what was inside, as I mentioned once before there was
one year I got a lump of coal, but for the most part it would be
candy canes and an orange or apple. One year there was the new
wristwatch my folks bought me.
I'm not sure where those stockings are these days. My best guess
is that they are downstairs in my storage bin packed away with
the few Christmas tree ornaments that have survived!
Update 2010: The Christmas stockings and those few old
Christmas ornaments have gone to the great storage bin in the sky
during my latest move.

Ohhhhh someone needs to do a stocking for you, Bill. It is so much fun to go through a stocking as an adult... an orange, maybe a chocolate or candy, a candy cane, a book or comic to read, a puzzle to do before breakfast, and something surprising as well. Start a new tradition. Cheers.

Mar 3, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterCentral Wyoming College President Jo Anne McFarland was complimentary of Fremont County's state representatives on their work related to the college during the just-complete session of the Wyoming Legislature.
She thanked them in particular for their success in restoring funding for the Health and Science Center being constructed on campus. Before the legislative session began, she said, laws were being interpreted in a way that prohibited state major maintenance funding for the facility.
"The health and science center, inexplicably, was completely removed from receiving any state major maintenance funding," McFarland said during the recent meeting of the CWC trustees. "That has been returned ... with a lot of help from our local legislators."
Major maintenance money was restored for four other projects at colleges statewide, she added.
McFarland said State Sen. Eli Bebout, R-Riverton protected the health insurance pool for state employees.
Bebout, who served as Senate Appropriations Committee chair during this session, said the group decided to put $1.6 million back in the state's budget to cover health insurance for college employees statewide.
"I had a strong feeling about that," Bebout said last week.
Regarding the overall supplemental budget bill, McFarland was pleased that state aid to colleges was cut by only 6 percent rather than the anticipated 8 percent that many state agencies will undergo.
"That makes a different of just a little under $2 million to the seven community colleges for the upcoming year," McFarland said.
She reminded the board that CWC made "significant" cuts to its budgets preemptively during the current fiscal year, so further reductions will not be necessary as a result of the supplemental budget cut.

5 Theories About Tonight's "Mad Men" Season 7 Premiere
At long last, the final season of "Mad Men" is upon us. It's been almost a year since we last saw the ad men (and women) at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (and Cutler, Gleason and Chaough, but that's quite a mouthful), and we hope tonight's premiere provides answers to all of questions left unanswered in the last season's finale.
Like, what will Don Draper do now that he's on forced sabbatical from the agency? Will Sally ever get recover from walking in on her father schtupping Mrs. Rosen? Is Bob Benson really gay? Or a spy? Or both? How far back has Pete Campbell's hairline receded? (Oh, wait. We know the answer to that one.)
So, ignore that last question. Concerning everything else: FANS NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS! AND BEFORE PETE'S WIDOW'S PEAK GETS ANY MORE TERRIFYING!
After watching the first season of "The Writer's Room" on Netflix, I think I'm more than qualified to present the following hypothetical plot points and storylines for the Season 7 finale, airing this Sunday, April 13 at 10/9c on AMC. Some are probably more plausible than others, but I the show is known for its twists; so, really, anything's possible, right?
Beware: Spoilers ahead. Try not to trip.
Theory #1: Lane Pryce comes back to life. Sterling Cooper's token Brit didn't really hang himself after all. Remember that scene in "Heathers" when Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) fakes her own death so Jason Dean (Christian Slater) will think she off'd herself? It's kind of like that. (Okay, it's exactly like that.) Sure, it took some pretty serious shallow breathing to get away with it, but Lane was able to escape the morgue before being shipped back to London. With no obligations to the firm or his family, he starts his life over again — debt-free because Don Draper already paid the $50,000 Lane owed the agency — as a tailor in the Financial District. (He always wore such beautiful suits.) This ruse is only discovered when Joan goes to the same tailor to pick up a custom order for Roger Sterling. Twist!
Theory #2: Roger Sterling and Joan Hathaway get married. Finally! If you aren't (not-so) secretly hoping Roger and Joan will stop messing around and make it official, then we spit in your general direction because this is one of our favorite on-again, off-again "Mad Men" couples. However, instead of suffering through another season of Sam-and-Diane tension, these two need to stop worrying about what everyone at the agency thinks, throw caution to the wind and become a real family. I mean, if you didn't melt when Roger started feeding Kevin — who's actually his real son, even though Joan passes off the father as her ex, Greg — at Thanksgiving, then you are made of stone. No need for a ton of explanation because this is a pair that belongs together. Point blank.
Theory #3: Betty Draper gets fat … again. As far as we're concerned, there doesn't need to be a logical reason why Betty packs on the pounds this time around. Maybe it's the way she copes with daughter Sally being out of the house. Perhaps she embarks on a drug experimentation phase and starts smoking a lot of weed; therefore causing endless bouts of the munchies. (We know how much she loves potato chips, a pothead's best friend.) Honestly, does it really matter? The world can never have too many Fat Betty memes. Plus, it'd give @FatBettyFrancis new fodder, which is a win/win for everyone involved.
Theory #4: Megan Draper leaves Don, moves to Hollywood anyways and becomes a movie star. At the end of Season 6, we saw the second Mrs. Draper furious at her husband for pulling the plug on the couple's dreams of moving to California. After reading some of Gloria Steinem's articles in "Esquire" and attending a few Women's Liberation rallies, maybe Megan grew the balls to leave Don and proceed with the initial plan. If so, we could totally see Hollywood welcoming her with open arms. (Especially if she auditioned for roles by performing "Zou Bisou Bisou.") Perhaps the former soap actress would get cast in movies like "The Graduate" or "Bonnie And Clyde," both of which were released in the late-'60s. Living well is the best revenge and Megan's professional success would definitely drive Don insane — and that's something worth the price of admission.
Theory #5: Peggy tries being a lesbian. After getting tragically dumped by Ted Chaough — who said he was going to leave his wife and kids for the advertising ingénue but then ended up moving to California instead — Peggy swears off men. All men. So much so, that she decides to take a dip in the lady pond. What? She's a modern woman who doesn't need a dude to complete her. She's got ambition, gumption and a closet full of plaid pantsuits! So there, world. Oooh, maybe her photographer friend Joyce Ramsay, who also happens to like women, helps show Peggy the lesbian ropes by introducing her to the scene bubbling up in NYC's Greenwich Village. The decade's end marked an important time for gay rights in the City — the famous Stonewall riots took place in 1969 — and Peggy has always attracted to underground subcultures, so it really wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Xining, China — Tyler Hamilton delivered Rock Racing its most prestigious victory to date Sunday when he captured the overall title at the Tour of Qinghai Lake in China.
Hamilton crossed the finish line with the peloton at the end of a 68-mile (110 km) circuit race through the streets of Xining to secure a 10-second win over Marek Rutkiewicz (Polish National Team). Iranian Hossein Askari (Tabriz Petrochemical Team) finished third, 1:08 behind.
"It's a special win for me," Hamilton told a group of reporters after being congratulated by his Rock Racing teammates. "It's been a long time. I think most people didn't think I'd ever reach the highest level (again)."
This was Hamilton's sixth victory in an international stage race, but his first since the Tour de Romandie in 2004. The 37-year-old Marblehead, Mass., native has won more than 30 races since turning professional in 1995.
Rock Racing Team Owner Michael Ball congratulated Hamilton by phone for earning the team's 26th win of the year.
"Seeing pictures of Tyler on the podium in the yellow jersey is simply spectacular and fulfills one of my original goals for this team," Ball said. "I set out to give guys second chances and Tyler is a perfect example of that. He's been one of our captains on the road this year, giving his all to help his teammates win. Now it's his turn to celebrate."
Hamilton won the eighth stage Friday to move into the lead after trailing Rock Racing teammate Oscar Sevilla in the overall standings since the opening time trial July 11. Sevilla finished the race in fifth place, 1:22 behind.
"The goal coming in was to win the race, whether it was myself, Oscar, Michael Creed or whoever," Hamilton said. "So for me, it's all the same – victory for a teammate is a victory for me. This is nice way to repay them, the staff and especially Michael Ball."
Alex Rasmussen (Danish National Team) won Sunday's race to score his fourth stage win of the 10-day, 841-mile (1,354 km) event.

Comments about PBS The Power of Forgiveness DVD:
This documentary dared to do what few churches actually do, which is explore the complexity and profoundity of the grace and healing of forgiveness, exploring forgiveness and atonement without recourse, mostly, to codified, religious language. However, that language is still important because it allows for the mystery and tension.
The program sidled up to what forgiveness is and what it is not leaving plenty of room of reflection - excellent!

Knights Fall to G-Braves 6-5 on Sunday
By Charlotte Knights | July 1, 2012 4:51 PM ET
(Lawrenceville, GA) - A one-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning off the bat of Felix Pie led the Gwinnett Braves to a 6-5 win over the Charlotte Knights on Sunday in game two of their four-game series from Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, GA. The win snapped a 15-game losing streak for Gwinnett.
The Knights were in line for their second win of the series when they entered the ninth inning on Sunday. With a 5-4 lead, the club handed the ball to reliever Donnie Veal to get the final three outs. The Braves did not let that happen.
Luis Durango started the ninth inning off with a single. After a sacrifice bunt off the bat of Jose Costanza, the G-Braves put the tying run on second base with just one out. Tyler Pastornicky then hit an RBI double off of Veal (3-2, 2.45) to tie the game up at 5-5. Pie then became the hero for the G-Braves with the game-winning RBI single. Pastornicky came around to score the game-winner. Veal was saddled with the loss.
Philip Humber started the game for Charlotte. Humber, 29, was making a Major League rehab appearance from Chicago. He allowed two runs on three hits over 2.1 innings pitched. He threw 52 pitches, 28 for strikes. He walked two and stuck-out three.
Relievers Brandon Kloess and Shane Lindsay each made their 2012 Knights debuts. Kloess allowed two runs on four hits over 3.2 innings pitched. Lindsay did not allow a run over two innings. He gave up one hit and struck-out four batters.
Charlotte (48-37) got on the scoreboard early on Sunday. 2012 International League All-Star Dan Johnson hit a two-run home run in the top of the first inning to give the Knights a 2-0 lead. The home run was Johnson's 20th of the season.
The Knights added two more home runs along the way on Sunday. Kyle Shelton hit a two-run home run in the 4th inning off of Gwinnett starter Todd Redmond. Two innings later, Dallas McPherson added a solo home run off of Redmond. Shelton's home run was his first of the season, while McPherson's was his fourth.
Gwinnett reliever Buddy Carlyle (4-2, 2.25) earned the win after pitching two shutout innings out of the bullpen.
The two teams will play game three from Coolray Field on Monday. RHP Matt Zaleski will take the mound for the Knights, while Gwinnett will send LHP Yohan Flande to the hill. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m.

SULPHUR — After scoring nine runs in each of its first two games at the Louisiana High School Athletic Association State Softball Championships, Denham Springs High wanted to keep its offense rolling.
However, the fifth-seeded Yellow Jackets couldn't keep pace with second-seeded Ouachita Parish High, which pounded out 11 hits while claiming an 8-3 victory in the Class 5A title game that helped close out the two-day tourney at Frasch Park.
Victoria Pederson garnered Outstanding Player honors after going 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, an RBI and four runs scored for the second-seeded Lions (26-3).
Karlee Walker was 3-for-4 with two RBIs for the winners, who won a title in their first title-game appearance. The Lions had never advanced past the quarterfinals previously. Kat Lee allowed seven hits and struck out five.
"I told them before the season that somebody in our district had a chance to win the state title," Ouachita coach Tim Whitman said. "I thought it was wide open. (Top-seeded) St. Amant was probably head-and-shoulders above everybody most the year.
"A lot has to happen. You've got to play well and you've got to be lucky too. I'm just glad they (OPHS players) had a chance to experience this."
DSHS (23-6) has been the 5A runner-up three times in the last decade, including in 2011. Bailey Fuiche was 2-for-3 and Brittany Case finished 2-for-4 with a run scored the Yellow Jackets.
The fact that OPHS chose to intentionally walk freshman catcher Jaden Accardo four times was notable. Accardo had three home runs in the tourney, including two in the Yellow Jackets semifinal win over Pineville. All three of DSHS' tourney foes scored eight runs.
"That's our fault for not getting somebody on base in front of her (Accardo) so they had to pitch to her," DSHS coach David Bourque said. "Our team has been good at protecting her. I look at it this way, we got free passes and didn't get a hit behind her.
"From top to bottom I thought we were balanced real well. In this game we just didn't produce."
Ouachita struck first in the bottom of the first. Pederson worked launching a home run to left that gave the Lions a 1-0 lead.
Denham Springs grabbed the lead in the top of the third. Case led off with an infield single and moved to second on a second by Bailey Hughes.
Accardo was walked to load the bases. Kaitlyn Thompson singled to center to score two runs, giving DSHS a 2-1 lead.
Pederson led off the bottom of the third with a double to left. Walker doubled to right, bringing Pederson home with the tying run. Walker was sacrificed to third and scored on an error to give OPHS a 3-2 advantage.
The Lions extended their lead in the fourth. Mallory Vining doubled, took third on a ground out and came home on a fielder's choice, Pederson singled to left and advanced to second on an error. Walker followed with another single that scored Pederson, giving the Lions a 5-2 lead.
OPHS added three more runs in the sixth. Pederson was at it again with single and Walker reached on a fielder's choice. Nicki Skerlong singled down the right-field to score Pederson. Walker scored on an errant throw on the same play. Skerlong scored on Morgan Adams' sacrifice fly.
DSHS loaded the bases in the top of the seventh. Carli Crow scored on Fuiche's single but got no closer.

LOCAL residents were invited to find out more about proposals to tackle traffic congestion on the M4 at a drop-in exhibition yesterday.
The exhibition, held at Brynglas House, was part of a 13-week public consultation on proposed changes to improve traffic flow on the motorway between Castleton and Magor.
Suggestions include four major highways projects, investment in public transport, junction improvements and the promotion of alternative routes.
The proposed four major highway projects include a new dual carriageway to the south of Newport to relieve traffic on the M4 costing £830 million.
The second option is improvements to the Southern Distributor Road (SDR) with improvements to roundabouts and signal controls at all junctions costing an estimated £45million, while the third option is separated junction improvements on the SDR, costing £300million which could include the development of a flyover.
The final option is to widen the M4 between junctions 24 and 29 to create a four-lane motorway in each direction plus building an additional tunnel at Brynglas which would cost £550 million.
Visitors to the exhibition could view wall displays explaining the proposals and ask questions.
Questionnaires were also handed out for people to express their views.
Other exhibitions have been held across the area over the past month as well as workshops.
Current ward councillors for the Shaftesbury ward, Bob Poole and Paul Cockeram were at the exhibition yesterday.
They said: "Something has got to be done about the M4. We cannot ignore that.
"But we must stress this is the very first stage of consultation. If people have other ideas or views we would urge them to write to the Welsh Government."
The next drop-in exhibition will be held at Newport Centre on Tuesday from 12pm until 7pm.
The public consultation ends on June 6.

|Miss Sharon Stone
| [[File:|250px]]
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone is Cliff Vandercave's girlfriend and henchwoman. She helps him in his plot to frame a quarry worker for embezzling millions of dollars from Slate & Co. while the two of them run off with the real embezzled money. When Fred Flintstone is chosen to be the scapegoat, Cliff has Miss Stone hired as Fred's secretary, knowing that she will be able to seduce him into doing whatever she wants.
After Fred is brought into his new office, Miss Stone soon arrives and catches Fred's attention right away, as he cannot stop staring at her gorgeous body, not even to blink. Miss Stone offers her "personal" services to Fred, and then asks if he is okay with that. Due to his shock at her beauty, he cannot speak. After Cliff leaves the two of them alone, Miss Stone adjusts her legs to make her panties clearly visible to Fred while her right leg lies on his lap. Then after getting off him, she asks him in a businesslike tone if he wants anything, specifically coffee. When he agrees, she bends over (getting close enough to kissing Fred) asks him how he would like it, and he replies "In a cup". Miss Stone smiles and tells him he made a bold choice and that he will go far as executive in the company.
After a few weeks of playfully flirting with each other (which Fred makes sure not to tell his wife about), Miss Stone notices that Fred is beginning to get suspicious, so she slides onto Fred's desk and sexually fools around with him to keep him preoccupied from finding out about Cliff's plan. However, Wilma walks into the office and sees Fred giggling while Miss Stone sexually pleasures him, infuriating her. Fred's dictabird notices Wilma walk in, but Fred is too distracted by Miss Stone's beauty and her sexual advances, so he ignores the bird, but looks up and sees her just as Miss Stone is about to kiss him. Fred is so embarrased by the situation that he introduces Wilma by the wrong name and forgets his daughter's name.
The situation then becomes worse after Wilma catches Fred blushing after Miss Stone makes bedroom eyes with him, and then sees Fred drooling over her swerving butt as she walks away. Wilma said she was very attractive. Fred said really he hadn't noticed. She glared at him and he tried to change the subject by showing her his office.
After Fred goes on the run from the police once Cliff's plan succeeds, Miss Stone begins feeling guilty, possibly because of actually devolping true feelings for Fred while she was seducing him. She later helps Fred stop Cliff and then turns evidence proving Fred's innocence over to the police, but is arrested as Cliff's accomplice. Fred promises her that he'll tell the police that she helped him, possibly getting her a lighter sentence. She responds by telling Fred that she enjoyed being "bad" with him, and then winks at him while he wishfully stares at her gorgeous body as she walks away.

This week for Mommalogues I was asked to share an awkward family photo and I reached for a collage of family photos my Mom gave me for Christmas. It's a collection of Santa photos we took growing up and it perfectly captured nearly every awkward age any of us suffered through:

The fact that I didn't have any current family photos to choose from made me realize I need to get around to scheduling those. We've never really had any done! When is the last time your family had professional photos taken?

NUNO Gomes is being considered as a potential player manager at Blackburn Rovers as the club look set to make coaching appointments today to fill the immediate void.
Former Aston Villa coach Kevin MacDonald was in talks with the club last night (Thursday) to become head coach, with the relatively unknown Judan Ali also expected to join the backroom staff in some capacity.
It is understood Rovers will still be searching for a full-time manager though, after Henning Berg and coaches Eric Black, Iain Brunskill and Bobby Mimms were sacked yesterday morning.
Rovers are hopeful MacDonald will take charge of team affairs for tomorrow's trip to Barnsley but are prepared to take their time before making a final decision on what happens next.
MacDonald had been lined up as an assistant manager at Rovers by former boss Berg before his dismissal, but the club have continued their efforts to land him despite wielding the axe.
If he delivers instant success, Venky's could even be tempted to allow him to continue as the main man with no manager brought in.
Members of the club's hierarchy are understood to be keen on sounding out veteran striker Gomes regarding a player-manager role, although there are a number of other names understood to be in the long-term frame.
Sources close to Mark Hughes have indicated he would be unwilling to take the role under the current set up, with no contact made with the former Rovers boss.
Former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo is also admired by Rovers' owners but they accept the Italian is a long way out of their reach.
Rovers' immediate priority though was to make instant changes to the coaching set-up, with global advisor Shebby Singh understood to believe that was necessary to improve results.
The decision to sack Berg was not unanimous among board members at the club, with some believing he deserved at least the transfer window to put his mark on the club.
Gomes, 36, was briefly considered as an immediate replacement for Steve Kean and is again believed to be in Venky's minds as a potential option.
The former Portuguese international arrived at Rovers on a two-year deal in the summer and could be one of the few willing to take a managerial job with the coaching positions already filled.
Meanwhile Berg has released a statement expressing his disappointment about his departure.
He said: "It goes without saying that I am bitterly disappointed to have been relieved of my managerial duties at Ewood Park after just 57 days since my appointment.
"At this stage I would just like to release a short statement thanking the Blackburn Rovers fans for their incredible support during my time in charge.
"I have always enjoyed a fantastic relationship with them dating back to my playing days where we shared some great memories.
"It was an honour for me to manage a club that is so close to my heart and I now wish all of them every success for the rest of the season and beyond.
"I would also like to thank the players and staff for their support and commitment in this short period.
"They have all done their best and unfortunately the results in these 10 games have not reflected their performances.
"I wish the club all the best in the future, and am sure that with a few additions in the January transfer window they will have a good chance of getting a play-off place."

Ambitious plans for a £1-billion ($1.55-billion) "Chinatown" property development in London's Royal Docks, a launchpad for 19th century imperial trade, are close to being finalized in what would be one of the largest Chinese investments in the U.K.
In a sign that recent political tensions between Whitehall and Beijing have not weakened the two countries' business ties, Advanced Business Park, a Chinese developer, is hoping later this month to commit to building an office complex on a 35-acre (14-hectare) site next to the giant docks. The move would symbolize east London's shift from major port to international commercial centre.
ABP bosses met David Cameron at a global investment conference on Thursday and held talks with Boris Johnson, the London mayor, who said the company had "very interesting proposals" for the land next to City Airport.
Although Mr Johnson said the deal was "not quite there," officials close to the negotiations said they expected ABP – a little-known developer – to announce an investment of more than £1-billion later this month.
"No one here had heard of ABP when they first expressed interest, but people have gone from being skeptical to pretty confident that they will deliver on their claim," said one person involved in the process.
However, property industry insiders questioned the credibility of the proposed project on Friday, particularly in regard to the suggested £1-billion development value.
"To spend that kind of money on a scheme that is always going to be height-restricted [due to its proximity to London City Airport] just doesn't add up," said one property developer. "The rent they would need to achieve to justify that kind of spend would be far higher than has ever been paid in the area."
ABP has already spent several million pounds on putting together a proposal for the site, which it hopes will be transformed into a 24-hour mini-city hosting the European headquarters of Chinese companies.
A deal would support Downing Street's claim that Anglo-Chinese trade is flourishing despite the diplomatic cold-shoulder being shown towards Mr. Cameron by Beijing after the prime minister's meeting with the exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama last year.
One minister said: "It's going gangbusters. Whatever tension there may be at a political level is not being seen in our commercial relationship."
Mr. Cameron hopes to visit Beijing in the autumn at the head of a trade mission. Downing Street said: "Britain has benefited from 1,500 major inward investments – and £6-billion of Chinese investment alone – over the last year."
The prime minister badly needs investment from cash-rich investors in China and the Gulf to pay for new infrastructure and to boost growth, and the Docklands is proving an attractive destination.
Foreign investors have poured billions into property and infrastructure in east London, including the Abu Dhabi government's £320-million acquisition of the ExCel exhibition centre in 2008 and the Qatari government's stake in Canary Wharf.
U.K. Trade and Investment has been working with ABP and Stanhope – its British partner – for months, offering advice on future transport connections to the new Crossrail line and on power supplies for the site. ABP refused to comment.
The company appears to have only one completed project to its name – a large development located on the far outskirts of Beijing in the city's least affluent district – but its chairman Xu Weiping is well-connected with China's ruling Communist party.
The lease on the Royal Docks site is thought to run for about 75 years, with the development program expected by property market experts to take 10 years.Report Typo/Error

A Mesmerizingly Sensual Tango Show
Jackie Steves is guest-hosting her Dad's blog with 17 posts in 17 days. Follow the adventures of Andy and Jackie Steves as they — the first Steves to venture into South America — report on their experience.
Nicole, four British girls, Andy, and I were picked up and transported to a small dance studio for a short lesson. In a dance style with strict gender roles, it was necessary that our teacher instruct both genders once at a time.
The girl takes one step toward the guy, the guy one step back. Both take one to the side. The guy two steps forward, the girl two steps back. Another one to the side. Then the guy leads the girl from side to side as she pivots sensuously on her feet. Then the final pose, with the guy's leg slid out and the female's lifted up and curved around the male's extended leg. We learned this in three sections, practicing after each new addition.
The woman never asks, but is only asked by the males. The instructor shouts "switch partners" frequently so that you're never with the same partner for long. I wished I had a swanky tango dress and glittering stilettos to complete the transformation into a tango dancer.
The lesson only lasted an hour and then we were all shown into the dining room and served dinner. I swear, people from other countries fall more deeply in love with one another then Americans do. As I look around at couples here on a date, it is a sight I'm unaccustomed to because few Americans look into their lover's eyes so intently and speak with such loving animation with one another.
|I wish I got a picture that better captured the spirit of tango, but this is the only one I got.
Enlarge photo
For dessert we were served ice cream, as well as a spellbinding tango performance. It consisted mainly of three dancing couples and a couple of male alto singers. It told the history of tango, which dates back to the late 19th century, through dance. So incredibly sexy! Andy remarked afterward that he was impressed at how all the eyes of the females in the room were absolutely glued to the dancers for the entire show. They moved their legs as fast as a tap dancer, but their movements were instead graceful cursive twirls. The dancers displayed a level of harmony as perfect as a world-renowned choir. I could watch this dance for hours and barely blink an eye, that's how hooked I was. People say tango is mesmerizing. Now I know what they mean.
Tango seemed a bit sexist in that the man always leads and the woman always follows. On the other hand, however, it is a style of dance that truly showcases the woman. All eyes are on her — her glamorous dress, her glimmering visage, her sultry legs, and her elegant movements. The men all look alike in pinstripe suits, merely acting as pointers to the women, who look powerful in their silver heels and steely assurance.
Afterward, we hopped a cab with Nicole to Palermo, the young hot nightlife district. But it was only midnight, far too early to hit up the club. So we snuggled into a fireplace-warmed pub, the most elegant of pubs I've ever been to. Few were the couples. Instead, small groups of friends conversed around small round tables — all so well-dressed! No one seemed to care they were packed in like sardines.
We made friends with a couple who shared our table. "We're just friends," she claimed. "He does my hair." Two minutes later we were left to our own conversation as they French kissed for an extended period of time. "What?" I thought, "They do this in such a graceful bar??" But somehow it seemed to fit. It was totally different from the trashy DFTs ("dance floor makeouts") you witness in college — just two lovers indulging in each others' lips.
Before we knew it, it was time to go to the club, the reason why we trekked to this neighborhood. Club 69! Thursday night was drag show night. We paid what felt like an arm and a leg for the cover and coat check compared to the pennies we were paying for other things (in this very affordable city). I watched with amusement as Andy's eyes grew big at the sight of transvestites strutting their stuff across the stage. We danced, watched, drank, took pics with the drag queens, danced, watched, drank, got tired, and cabbed it home.

MUMBAI: Cult porno movie Deep Throat has been selected as one of 100 landmark films of all time by the Radio Times Guide to Films 2007.
Deep Throat shares space with classics such as Citizen Kane. Radio Times film editor Andrew Collins was quoted in a media report as saying, "Deep Throat is not necessarily recommended for everyone – the film is quite badly made – but to deny its influence would be pure snobbery. This is not a list of the greatest movies ever made, this is a chronological journey through cinema history pinpointing those films that changed the course of the industry."
The new edition of the Radio Times Guide to Films 2007 was published on 5 October 2006 on paperback.
The Guide features an introduction by Collins. He is also known for Collins & Maconie's Movie Club and for presenting Radio 4's weekly film programme Back Row.
New to this year's edition is the inclusion of 100 Landmark Films, not the usual list of the greatest films ever, but rather a list of landmarks, watersheds, marker flags for either an art form or the film industry itself, plus pivotal movies for a star or director, compiled by the Radio Times' film reviewers and staff.
The book is a compilation of over 21,000 in-depth film reviews, including 500 new entries. The new entries include all films released in UK cinemas over the last 12 months, a selection of straight-to-video titles, and movies made for television that have been screened during the year.
The Guide covers a wide range of cinema: as well as mainstream UK and US movies, it includes European films and significant and interesting works of world cinema, and even underground and experimental films.
Reviews include cast, character, writer and director credits, plus family viewing advice and BBFC classification, as well as UK video and DVD availability.

- Scorecard / As it happened
- Waiting for Watto
- Lehmann calls Broad a cheat
- No plan to win in England, says Arthur
LONDON: Floored by a Stuart Broad bouncer, Shane Watson dusted himself off to produce his finest Test innings and break his long drought without a hundred but admits it feels like a "consolation" with the Ashes already lost.
The much-maligned all-rounder was the backbone of Australia's first innings on day one of the fifth Test at the Oval, with his 176 comprising the bulk of the tourists' 4-307 on a benign wicket manufactured for big scores just like his.
It was by far the highest score of Watson's Test career, eclipsing the 126 he made in Mohali in October 2010, which up until Wednesday was also his most recent visit to three figures.
He had the battle scars to show for it too, sporting a bulging red mark behind his left ear after being grounded by a brutal short ball from Broad on 91 that like a heat-seeking missile evaded his helmet and thudded into the side of his head.
Watson, in obvious pain, would have been down for the count in the fight game, but after being attended to by Australian team medical staff, as a concerned captain Michael Clarke hovered over him, took his guard again and completed his ton without complication.
Batting at No.3 the 32-year-old drove and pulled exquisitely all day, savaging England debutant Simon Kerrigan mercilessly, and after careering past 150 for the first time it was appropriate in a way that he was caught spectacularly in the deep by Kevin Pietersen as he took on Broad once again on the verge of stumps.
Relieved to have finally shed the weight of the hundred hoodoo from his not inconsiderable shoulders, Watson conceded, however, that he wished he could have made such a contribution when the Ashes were alive rather than when Australia were 3-0 down.
"I would give anything to have scored runs at the start of the series," he said. "It is only a consolation. The most important time was the first three Test matches and I wasn't able to do that. I've had a lot of soul searching to do because I knew how important it was to set up the series.
"It was important for me to score runs as a senior player and I wasn't able to do it. I have been asking myself a lot of different questions over the past five Tests with my cricket. It is nice I have been able to put it together but not so nice that it took so long to put it together."
Australia resume on Thursday with Steve Smith unbeaten on 66 and nightwatchman Peter Siddle not out on 18, and will be intent on keeping England in the field for most of day two as well.
That task would have been far more difficult had Watson not been dropped by Alastair Cook in the slips when on 104. It would not have been a Watson innings either without a few close lbw scrapes, including one on 166 when he was given out by umpire Kumar Dharmasena only to have the decision overturned on review.
I have been asking myself a lot of different questions over the past five Tests with my cricket.
The blow from Broad was another potential roadblock but he saw the lighter side, saying it took his mind off the approaching milestone. "The bump is OK," Watson said. "I've got a bit of a cork in my neck, more than anything. It certainly got me thinking apart from the nervous nineties and trying to get through that. I was thinking more about trying to get my neck around so my eyes could see the ball. It probably worked out well in the end."
Handed a lifeline or two he set about making England pay all afternoon, spelling out plainly why his supporters regard him as the second best batsmen in the country.
The problem with that argument has been how long had passed since Watson really cashed in. It had been nearly three years, and 48 innings, since his previous Test century, and his average has slumped to 34.51 before Wednesday.
Plenty of water had travelled the under the bridge since his last ton: Watson has won and lost the vice-captaincy, met and fallen out with Mickey Arthur, wrestled with an lbw curse, endured a couple of serious calf strains and the odd hamstring issue, been branded a "cancer" on the team, and become a father. And that doesn't capture the half of it.
Amid all that drama he clung on to a Test place at times because he could bowl but those with long memories will recall that Watson can bat for long periods. There was an unbeaten 203 for Hampshire in 2005 and a double ton for Queensland in the then Pura Cup final nine months later. In Tasmania, they still have not forgotten the 300 he thrashed in a day for club side Lindisfarne during his stint there a decade ago, before coming back to take seven wickets for good measure.
Having not proven it at Test level his reputation as an unfulfilled talent remained, though, and it was interesting timing that as he took a breather at tea the host radio broadcaster aired a pre-recorded interview with sacked coach Arthur, who said Watson had "underachieved in Test cricket without a doubt".
That will not change with a solitary innings but it has eased the pressure on him and provided some long-awaited success at first drop for Australian team that has tried nine batsmen in the position since Shaun Marsh was the last to make a hundred there, in Sri Lanka almost two years ago.
Off to a flyer Watson had 80 from 77 balls by lunch on Wednesday, with 15 fours and a six. He combined in a second 100-plus run stand in consecutive games with opener Chris Rogers (23), who was content to sit back and let him do his thing until edging Graeme Swann to Jonathan Trott in the slips after lunch.
David Warner (6) was the earlier Australian casualty, nicking James Anderson to wicketkeeper Matt Prior, while Clarke (7) never looked convincing and another superb ball from Anderson clipped his pad and thudded into the top of off stump.
So often it is Clarke holding Australia together. For once, Watson, who had been schooled by the captain in Northampton last weekend in an effort to solve his lbw troubles, was able to take the baton and run with it, even if it was too late to challenge for the urn.
"Of course it's a big relief to be able to get a hundred, there's no doubt about that," Watson said. "But for me the most important thing has been being able to bat for a long period of time.
"I've worked very hard, and had some very good people helping me out over the last six weeks to be able to get myself into a place where I can give myself a chance to be able to bat for a long period like that. It was a really good wicket, for us to be able to win the toss on that wicket...if we can put in a really big total in that first innings certainly it's going to give us a good chance to win this Test match. "
