Diversey Care presents Award for Best Initiative in Social Responsibility to IHG at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards
STURTEVANT, WI — Sealed Air's Diversey Care Division presented an award for the "Best Corporate Initiative in Social Responsibility" to Intercontinental Hotels Group for their programme "Shelter in a storm", at the 14th annual Worldwide Hospitality Awards organized by MKG Group.
The programme helps IHG hotels support guests, colleagues and local communities in times of disaster with financial support, vital supplies and accommodation. A core part of the programme is the IHG® Shelter Fund made up of hotel and corporate employee fundraising. It means they have the resources to help those impacted right away. The programme also provides the hotels with guidance on when and how best to respond when disasters occur.
Helping with food and beverage, providing meeting rooms and gathering space for people and responding organisations, and setting appropriate room rates are some of the actions the programme fosters. Hotels can download the guidance which sits as part of the Crisis Management Toolkit from the IHG Shelter in a Storm Programme website.
The Worldwide Hospitality Awards celebrate innovation in nine categories for hotels and three categories for hospitality schools. The "Best Initiative in Sustainable Development" honors a hotel brand or group that demonstrates sustainability best practices within its operations and/or social responsibility towards the local population, staff and tourist sites. Sealed Air's Diversey Care division is a sponsor of that category.
"Social Responsibility is in our DNA as a company, and we are committed to supporting the communities everywhere we do business" said Dr Ilham Kadri, President of Sealed Air Diversey Care.
The Worldwide Hospitality Awards program promotes initiatives from around the world and is representative of the international hospitality industry. The awards committee receives nearly 150 applications from leading hotel brands and groups each year.
Other finalists include NH Hotels for their programme "Up! For Opportunities – Sprint Programme" and Best Western, for their programme "Implementation of environmental label"
Best Western approach of sustainable development presented for these awards combines an environmental management system, providing a frame for any establishment's actions, and the innovative environmental labeling system for a night stay, communicating transparently the hotels' impacts and results.
NH Hotels' Sprint Programme is an innovative initiative in the Tourism Sector that promotes direct employment of young people at risk of exclusion in their hotels from the Central Europe Business Unit.
Diversey Care is a business of Sealed Air Corp., a leader in food safety and security, facility hygiene and product protection. For more information about Diversey, please visit www.diversey.com or follow us on Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter.

Interesting, I usually wear a 12 and a 12 in these floats around my foot. I have not tried them in a 11.5 though so it could just be the way it was meant to fit.

As a traditional prelude to the opening of the Iowa State Fair, the new Iowa Dairy Princess will be crowned on Wednesday night, Aug. 8, at 8 p.m. at the Multi-Media Center of the Cattle Barn at the state fairgrounds in Des Moines. Nine young women involved with the dairy community across the state are competing for the 59th title. The princess and her alternate are charged with helping consumers learn more about dairy products and the farm families who tend the farms and cows that provide them.
The contestants are:
- Nicole Engelken, 17, daughter of Tom and Cherrie Engelken of Earlville, representing Delaware County;
- Nichole Fagle, 18, daughter of Dan and Melissa Fagle, and the late Sally Fagle, representing Fayette County;
- Caitlin Geise, 20, daughter of Brad and Lisa Geise of DeWitt, representing Jackson and Clinton Counties;
- Karla Hageman, 17, daughter of Alan and Ruth Hageman of Decorah, representing the Iowa Guernsey Association;
- Kaley Heffern, 18, daughter of Jack and Cindy Heffern of Harpers Ferry, representing Allamakee County;
- Megan Lien, 18, daughter of Gary and Patty Lien of Calmar, representing Winneshiek County;
- Emilie Neumueller, 19, daughter of Tom and Gail Kruse, representing Dubuque County;
- Brandi Oostra, 18, daughter of Nelson and Wanda Oostra of Hull, representing Sioux County; and
- Logan Worden, 19, daughter of Dennis and Joan Worden of Oelwein, representing the Iowa Brown Swiss Association.
The winners are chosen on the basis of their knowledge and enthusiasm about dairy, personality and communication ability. Both the Princess and Alternate will receive scholarships sponsored by Midwest Dairy Association, which sponsor the contest and princess program on behalf of Iowa's dairy farmers.
The outgoing Iowa Dairy Princess is Jessica Hammerand of Epworth, daughter of Jeff and Tammy Hammerand, and the Alternate Princess is Heidi Hain, daughter of Douglas and Jo Hain of Nora Springs. Their reigns will be completed at the end of the Iowa State Fair, and the new Princess and Alternate will begin their duties on September 1.

Topic: Gas
Not the best topic to discuss but my dad has been really struggling with a lot of gas. This symptom typically happens 3 days after his chemo session. He takes GasX and Ducolax (sp) but still is constipated and full of gas. He did have an Xray in order to rule out a blockage and everything came back fine. He has also tried wheat grass to get things moving but that just gave him more gas... :-((. Any suggestions? Thanks. Have a great Tuesday!

Hey, ladies! We've got even more tips, picks, and recipes for a night in with your gal pals!
These items will save you time in the kitchen when you're whipping up treats for you and your guests... Athens Mini Fillo Shells - Pick up a box of these crunchy little cups in the freezer aisle, and get ready for delicious, easy, DIY bite-sized treats! Add a dollop of pudding (Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding Snacks are perfect) with some fresh fruit. Try baking the shells with some chopped-up candy inside (left over from Halloween, perhaps?). Or go the savory route with creamy tuna or cheesed-up beans! Baja Bob's Sugar Free Cocktail Mixes - If you're not in the mood to create your own mixers, Bob's got your back. These couldn't be easier to use, and there are tons of flavors. Piña colada? Please. Cosmo? Clearly. Hurricane? Heck, yes! Order online or find 'em at a store near you. Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet - This stuff was made for easy party foods. And since we're all about the guilt-free goodies, here are some HG recipes for you to whip up. For a savory starter, serve up some Buttery Parm Breadsticks. For a fruity fix, make these Crazy-Delicious Apple Dumplings. And for something sweet and super-decadent, crank out some Caramel Swirl Cream Puffs!
Here are some tips to modify a few simple HG sippers so you can satisfy your thirsty friends... My Oh Mai Tai: Multiply the ingredients by however many drinks you want to make. Then mix up everything except the dark rum in a pitcher. To serve, pour 5 ounces (about 2/3 cup) of the mix over ice, and top with a tablespoon of the dark rum! Fizzy Fruity Pineapple Punch: It's WAY easy to make a pitcher of this non-alcoholic punch ahead of time -- 3 packets of the Crystal Light, 6 cups of soda water, and 1 1/2 cups of pineapple chunks will make 6 servings! Then your friends (ahem, who are of the legal drinking age) can decide whether they want to add a shot of vodka or rum. A shot of either liquor has about 100 calories. Magical Low-Calorie Margarita: Just multiply this single-serving recipe by the number of guests, and then mix up everything but the ice. Serve over ice and sip! Want more tips on items to stock your HG-friendly bar? Click here!
A few of our favorite fun-sized party foods -- WE LOVE THEM ALL!
New & Improved Super-Skinny Skins - Our potato skins are better than ever -- your friends will agree!
Rockin' Roasted Corn Guac 'n Chips - "Oh yeah, I made the guacamole AND the chips." Bragging rights are just a recipe away...
Tiny Taco Salads, Petite Wonton-Bottomed Shepherd's Pies, and Mini Coconut Cream Pies - Three recipes for adorable and tasty treats, ready to party!
Mini Ice Cream Cakes - More incredibly cute, crazy-delicious eats for your girls' night in!
We love theme parties. So if finding a food or drink that corresponds to your film of choice appeals to you, take notes! Steel Magnolias - Something red velvet. It doesn't have to be a cake in the shape of an armadillo though -- stick with our lightened-up recipes instead! When Harry Met Sally - Apple pie a la mode... (light) ice cream on the side. For savory snacks, serve everyone something different (guilt-free, of course). Then you can all say, "I'll have what she's having..." Dirty Dancing - Watermelon. Cubed and skewered with other fruits, or blended into cocktails. Serve it, enjoy it, and then go on about carrying it. Fried Green Tomatoes - Uh... Would it be too obvious to suggest our Faux-Fried Green Tomatoes? Didn't think so. My Big Fat Greek Wedding - Serve up Spanako-pieces and The Great Greek Pizza (make a few of the personal pies, and then serve mini slices). Open up and say, "Opa!"
Consider this email an informal invitation -- click "Send to a Friend," pass it along, and start planning your soiree!
Might we mention that today is National Sundae Day? And that, in our experience, girls love sundaes? Here are three yummy ice cream treats... one even tastes like pumpkin pie!

Judge Wright, 48, has served on the Minnesota Court of Appeals since 2002 and has authored over 700 opinions in that time. Prior to that, she served as a Trial Judge in the District Court of Ramsey County and as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota, where she represented the United States in complex economic fraud cases and violent crime cases in the United States District Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. She was awarded the United States Department of Justice Special Achievement Award in 1997 and the United States Department of Justice Director's Award for Public Service in 2000. Before joining the U.S. Attorney's office in 1995, Judge Wright practiced with the Washington, DC law firm of Hogan & Hartson, LLP. In the education and litigation practice groups, she primarily represented school districts across the nation seeking to enhance educational opportunities for public school students.
Judge Wright earned her Bachelor of Arts degree with honors from Yale College and her Juris Doctorate from Harvard Law School, where she was the Executive Editor of the Harvard Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Law Review.
"I am proud to announce my first appointment to the Minnesota Supreme Court, Appellate Court Judge Wilhelmina Wright. It was a very difficult decision, as there were four superb candidates recommended by the Judicial Selection Commission. Any one of them would be an outstanding Supreme Court Justice," said Governor Dayton.
"Judge Wright has proven her exceptional judiciary skills by authoring over 700 opinions during her decade serving on the Minnesota Court of Appeals. I read several of her opinions before making my decision. I was greatly impressed by her exceptional intellect, her written communication skills and, most importantly, her excellent judgment. I believe that she will serve the people of Minnesota with great distinction on our Supreme Court."
About her appointment Judge Wright said, "I am honored to serve the people of Minnesota as an Associate Justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court. I will work hard to ensure that Minnesotans continue to have a judiciary that is committed to fairness and justice for all who entrust us with their most important affairs. It is my good fortune to devote my life's work to preserving and to promoting the values of freedom and equal justice --values that I believe in so deeply."
Judge Wright serves on the Committee for Equality and Justice. She has served on the Minnesota Judicial Council, the Family Law Appellate Mediation Rules Committee, and the Minnesota State Bar Association Task Force on the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
Judge Wright also is active in her community, serving on the Minnesota Women Lawyers Advisory Committee, Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs Advisory Council, the Minnesota Lawyer Advisory Board and the Mardag Foundation Board of Directors. She has previously served on the William Mitchell College of Law Board of Trustees, the Ramsey County Community Corrections Advisory Committee, the Federal Bar Association of Minnesota Board of Directors, Saint Paul Academy Board of Trustees, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Board of Directors, the Girl Scout Council of Saint Croix Valley Board of Directors, the Hamline University Women in Leadership Advisory Council, the Yale Alumni Schools Committee, and the Saint Paul Public Schools Graduate Standards Advisory Committee. Judge Wright is a member of the American Bar Association, Minnesota State Bar Association, Ramsey County Bar Association, Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers, National Association of Women Judges and National Bar Association.
Judge Wright was elected to the American Law Institute in 2008. She received the Myra Bradwell Award in 2006 from the Minnesota Women Lawyers, the Lena O. Smith Achievement Award from the Black Women Lawyers Network in 2004, the B. Warren Hart Award for Public Service from the Saint Paul Jaycees in 2001, and the Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans Award in 2000. In 2011, Judge Wright also received the Girls Scouts River Valleys Women of Distinction Award.
Judge Wright lives in St. Paul with her husband Dan Schmechel and their daughter Kathryn.

At the fall 2012 board meeting of the American Butter Institute (ABI) held last week in Las Vegas, David Riemersma of Butterball Farms, Inc. was elected President of ABI, and two new officers were seated.
Irv Holmes of Challenge Dairy Products, Inc. was elected to serve as First Vice President, and Dean Van Tuinen of Darigold, Inc. was elected Second Vice President. Each officer will serve a two-year term. The ABI board also welcomed new member High Desert Milk, which officially joined the organization at the fall meeting. In addition, the board elected Randy Robinson of High Desert Milk, Josh White of Hoogwegt, U.S. and William Schreiber of O-AT-KA Milk Products Cooperative, Inc. as new board representatives.
President Riemersma thanked outgoing President Mark Korsmeyer for his service, and the ABI membership for their support. Riemersma stated, "I am pleased to serve the industry in this capacity. The institute represents a real, fresh and natural product that consumers prefer. Recent trends show that there is strong momentum in the category, and it is one that consumers are very interested in." Riemersma acknowledged Korsymeyer's excellent leadership over the last two years. He indicated he would continue to move ABI further down the positive path set by his predecessor by setting up a strategic planning commission to refresh the long term goals of the organization.
In addition to the officer elections, Alan Reed of Dairy Management, Inc. provided an eye-opening report on butter and the changing consumer mindset. Robert Chesler of INTL FCStone's Foods Division presented a report on current events and their influence on consumer demand for U.S. dairy products. ABI's board reviewed and approved their budget for 2013 and received an update on the National Butter Promotion Program's new focus on using social media to promote usage of butter. The ABI board also got an update on the economic and market outlook, reviewed regulatory issues, received a Cooperatives Working Together program update and heard the latest news from Washington, DC.
One of the highlights was a recap of the "Go Bold with Butter" promotion program, which is building momentum and helping increase butter consumption by increasing awareness through use of social media.
ABI's next meeting will be held in conjunction with the American Dairy Products Institute April 28-30, 2013 at Chicago Marriott Downtown in Chicago, IL.
The American Butter Institute (ABI), headquartered in Arlington, VA., represents the marketing, policy, and regulatory interests of the nation's butter manufacturers. ABI's member companies market approximately 95 percent of all the butter manufactured in the United States. Visit www.butterinstitute.org for more information.

If there were a clear dropoff in benefit between playing ( A ) Dunleavy and Murphy whatever minutes that they should play while giving 10-15 minutes a game to Luther and Solo and ( B ) simply giving far more minutes to Dunleavy and Murphy that they can really handle......then I can agree with the notion that we should go with Option "B" over Option "A".
I'd much rather use whatever depth we have and risk losing a game then ( possibly ) over-exerting Dunleavy or Hansbrough and risk losing either of them to some injury. I can see "gambling" with Dunleavy/Hansbrough minutes if it were later in the season and we have a clearer picture of where we stand in the Playoff Picture ( hence it's worth the risk )...but since the season is young and we still have a large # of games to play ( and frankly, I'm not too confident in our Team now )....I don't see the need to risk over-exerting Dunleavy/Hansbrough if we have the option to give more minutes to Players like Luther and Solo.

At the same time you can enjoy the atmosphere of the hostel and hang out and meet nice people there. We have a luggage room so after check out, there is possibility to leave your luggage there before you leave. There is WiFi in the room and sheets are provided.
Its only 5 minutes to the main and big street of Istanbul, central and easy access to everywhere in the city.just 2 minutes to the Metro station and 5 minutes to Tramway.20 minutes by walk to taksim square and sultamahmet area. Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and it is the country's economic, cultural, and historical capital. The city's biggest attraction remains its historic center, partially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but its cultural and entertainment hub can be found across the city's natural harbor, the Golden Horn, in the Beyoğlu district.
Formally called Constantinople, Istanbul was the capital of the Roman Empire and Europe's wealthiest metropolis, and is now the largest city in Turkey. Here you will find a fabulous city that spans Asia and Europe. In Istanbul you will see how old meets new when you visit the "must-see" historic sites such as the Blue Mosque , one of the most famous monuments in both the Turkish and Islamic worlds.

Very nice and cosy room with a wonderful view!
Wir waren eine Woche über Silvester 2016 da. Die Lage ist sehr gut, so dass man das Zentrum und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen kann. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Früstück ganz lecker, also nichts auszusetzen, außer nur das Wasser in der Dusche war manchmal lauwarm, aber erträglich.
Das Zimmer kann man nur weiter empfehlen.
Danke, Ercan!
Great service and very friendly staff!
We stayed for our one week holliday in this room. And we whould do it again.
The included breakfast in the hostel (3 min walk) gives you a good basement for the day. Ercan was realy friendly and the comunication (in english) was great.
Like the descriptions of other users are telling, the view is breathtaking. The room it self is realy charming and the rest of the flat has a simple standard in comparision to german standard. The stareway up to the fifth floor is realy special. It feels a bit like Havana 20 Years ago. After a couple of days it feels like home.
We visited Istanbul in the middle of October 2015. I can imagine that in summertime the room can be very hot.
A nice room with a wonderful view in a big apartment.
I recommend it. Thanks Ercan.
Definitive ein traumhafter und einzigartiger Ausblick auf den Bosporus und die Hagia Sophia. Man hat vom Bett aus morgens einen grandiosen Sonnenaufgang und Abends einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang. Die Unterkunft liegt super Zentral direkt am Galata Tower im Beyoğlu Bezirk.
The location is perfect and the place is lovely.
Although we've had unpleasant moment with staff. We were promised early breakfast (we had early flight). When we came there was nothing that looked like breakfast... It would be easier if we they just didn't promise.
The view from the window is stunning enough that I can recommend this stay. Also the location is great and the hostel staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and even though you shouldn't expect luxury, everything is in good enough shape. More equipment for the shared kitchen would be a good idea. The stairway doesn't look good as others have stated, but it's not a real problem. Although choice for breakfast is not abundant, it's tasty (served in the hostel, which is a short distance away).
Several different rooms from this apartment can be found on wimdu. I got the 15m² one instead of the 25m² I booked, which wasn't a problem for me (in fact I didn't even realize it when I was there, so didn't ask about the reason), but confirming beforehand might be a good idea if you need the space.
Make sure you remember the entry of the house if you plan to come back late, because after the shutters are in front of the closed shops, the street looks quite different.
On the pro-side: The apartment has an amazing view on the Bosporus. It is a pleasure to wake up and go to sleep to this sight. The wooden floors, high ceilings and brick walls are lovely. Martin and the World hostel staff are friendly hosts and always available for quesions. Breakfast in the hostel is alright and a good start into the day.
On the con-side: The staircase of the apartment is rather dodgy and makes you feel relieved when you can close the door behind you. The bathrooms, toilets and towles are just fine but rather suitable for young travelers who don't expect much. Since Istanbul is a noisy city and the walls are paper thin - bring earplugs if you want a good night's sleep.
All in all: Excellent for a short trip to Istanbul on a budget.

Measure Exactly 6 GallonsLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Using a tap, a nine-gallon container and a four-gallon container, can you measure exactly 6 gallons?
AnswerHere are the contents of the two containers after each stage (A=nine-gallon container, B=four-gallon container) :
9 0 fill A
5 4 fill B from A
5 0 empty B
1 4 fill B from A
1 0 empty B
0 1 fill B from A
9 1 fill A
6 4 fill B from A
6 0 empty B
This leaves 6 gallons in container A.

Imagination Tech. Acquires MIPS, Aims to Battle ARM in Mobile Market
Jason Mick
November 7, 2012 1:02 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
As ARM Holdings pumps up its GPU product, Imagination Tech. strikes back with bold move
Imagination Technologies Group plc (
) has long waited on the sidelines of the smartphone industry, playing a pivotal role as wingman to
the likes of Intel
Corp. (
and domestic peer ARM Holdings
plc (
). But after years of success
making GPU cores
to accompany various mobile/lightweight CPUs, Imagination Technologies is eyeing a shift into the leading role.
I. GPU Giant Goes CPU
The company on Tuesday
that it would be acquiring U.S. chipmaker MIPS Technologies Inc.'s (MIPS) business operations unit, plus part of its patent portfolio for $60M USD (£37.6M).
The patent pickup isn't of particular concern to ARM Holdings, which just signed a cross-licensing deal with MIPS. Under the
relatively complex plan
, the soon-to-be-acquired MIPS unit will retain 82 core patents on its architecture, but will
sell its remaining 498 more ubiquitous patents
to "Bridge Crossing", an ARM Holdings subsidiary, for $350M USD. The MIPS unit will retain permanent royalty-free licensing rights to these patents, so it doesn't have to worry about getting sued with its former IP anytime in the future.

The concern part of the detail for ARM Holdings is the pickup of the chipmaking unit. Imagination Technologies has expressed the desire to be an "industry-leading force" in the mobile CPU market, challenging its current partner ARM Holdings.
David Harold, Imagination Technologies spokesman, to the
, "We think that it strengthens our line-up and offers more choice. ARM are obviously very strong in the CPU space and we have been niche. But by bringing MIPS into our business we think it will become a strong alternative in the CPU market."
II. A Tough Road Ahead
ARM Holdings main advantage -- and the key challenge facing Imagination Technologies -- is the lack of MIPS products in the mobile market. While Android (Linux-based) tablets
can run on MIPS processors
dev info
], there are only a handful of products (an e-reader or two) that use the alternative reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture.
A few Android tablets run MIPS, but not many.
MIPS chips do have substantial market share in networking applications, and a growing stake in the
digital television business
. But translating those successes into a legitimate challenge of the RISC king of mobility, ARM Holdings, will be challenging, to say the least.
James Goodman, an analyst with Investec plc (
), a London-based banking an asset management group, asserts, "MIPS has good standing, we understand, in areas such as networking and digital TVs. Imagination expects to broaden the strategy towards the mobile segment, whilst at the same time we are seeing ARM aggressively target the networking and DTV segments."
"We therefore believe the competitive pressure has increased significantly, whilst the risk to the strategy is also considerably greater. The cash cost is $60m and we assume there will be further exceptional costs in combining the businesses."
III. Move Has a Survivalist Aspect to it
So why would Imagination adopt such a risky ploy?
First, there is great reward if it pays off -- even with a small stake of the exploding mobile market. ARM Holdings has been
posting wildfire profits
and booming growth; Imagination Technologies is likely surely salivating at the prospect of similar performance if its new effort sees success.
ARM has made a killing off smartphone CPUs. [Image Source: ARM/Facebook]
Secondly, ARM Holdings struck first,
stepping up its GPU efforts
with its
product line. While Imagination Technologies' PowerVR GPU cores are still heavily used by certain OEMs (such as Intel), ARM Holdings has scored some key design wins, such as the
Nexus 10 tablet
from Google Inc. (
) and Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
Imagination Technologies likely weighed the risk of marginalization in the GPU market carefully against the risk of entering a new and hostile market (CPUs). Analysts may not predict Imagination Technologies to see success in this new market, but most analysts do agree that there are design advantages to getting your CPU and GPU intellectual property cores from a single source. Thus if Imagination Technologies didn't act it may have been slotted for a slow demise; as is, it has positioned itself in the role of the feisty underdog.

Add character and texture to a room with carpet.
Leaf shapes made of wool form an unusual, plush shag rug. The layers of leaves are an indoor-friendly version of the forest floor, or, as the name says, a "Little Field of Flowers."
Nature takes centre stage on these dishes.
Forest life, from flowers and butterflies to deers and squirrels, are all featured on this graphic Table Stories tableware by Tord Boontje. Each dish size features four different drawings, allowing for variation at the dinner table. The classic red and white or blue and white porcelain can easily be coordinated with others. The hurricane lanterns also include fairy tale–style drawings.
See more of Boontje's modern designs in our photo gallery.
When lit, these lanterns create dramatic, forest-like shadows.
Boontje's 2010 Free Flowing line features lanterns, a clock and a tray, all with a branch motif. The Free Flowing set was originally featured in the Botanist 2010 collection, a site that sells eco-friendly, modern products.
Raised florals and vines add charm.
Curvaceous lines on the O-Nest chair layer an organic note into any indoor or outdoor room. Available in a wide range of vibrant hues, the waterproof chair coordinates with a number of colour schemes.
A glass dome encases a shiny metal garland.
The versatile Tangle Globe, designed by Tord Boontje and released this year, can change to suit your style. Leave the globe empty to enjoy its simple, clear glass design, or fill it with the etched metal Tangle garland. Alternatively, remove the globe and let the floral garland hang from the light.
See more of Boontje's modern designs in our photo gallery.
Use bottles to form a creative display or centrepiece.
The award-winning tranSglass line of products designed by Emma Woffenden and Tord Boontje give used glass a new purpose. From slicing a champagne bottle in half to create a unique dish, to cutting off the top to form a candleholder, vase or jug, each piece is a work of art.

A new take on classic wrought iron furniture.
Perforated metal reveals a bird motif on the chair back and a floral design on the seat. The lightweight Rain chair can be used indoors, too. Curvy, arched chair legs complement the delicate look.
Modern colour combos update a 1920s design.
Shadowy chairs and Sunny loungers feature a curled chair back and colourful prints. Colour patterns are woven with plastic threads by craftspeople in Senegal. Place one indoors to create a beachy vibe.

Do you guys think he would be a good fit for the Colts?Running back Shaun Alexander was released by the Seattle Seahawks Tuesday, according to multiple sources.
Running On Empty?
Before his release, Alexander had to take a procedural physical in order to facilitate the termination of his contract. He took that physical Tuesday afternoon. He's recovering from wrist surgery and has been waiting for his left wrist to heal before he can start visiting teams that might be interested in signing him.
Alexander's agent, Jim Steiner, told The Associated Press Tuesday that "an announcement is pending" about Alexander's future with the Seahawks.
Alexander is expected to issue a statement early Tuesday evening, and Seahawks management is expected to be available for comment after 7 p.m. ET. Alexander leaves Seattle on good terms after being the team's all-time leading rusher. Two years of injuries plus the fact he's 30 years old led to his exit.
General manager Tim Ruskell, a big supporter of Alexander, signed Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett to replace him. The only holdup in Alexander's release was his wrist, which plagued him most of the 2007 season.
Alexander, who is signed through 2010, is scheduled to make $4.475 million this season. The Seahawks have two possible ways of releasing him. They could simply terminate his contract. If they do that, they would have a cap loss of $125,000.
Or, Seattle could release him under a June 2 designation in which they would put the $4.475 million salary on the 2008 cap and then be responsible for $4.6 million on their 2009 cap. With more than $12 million of cap room remaining, the Seahawks may simply give him his outright release and take the cap hits this season.
A former first-round choice of the Seahawks, Alexander rushed for 9,429 yards and scored 100 touchdowns in eight seasons.
He's told teammates there might be interest from teams such as the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, although he's just beginning his first venture into free agency.
John Clayton is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.
I'm wondering how much money he is looking for.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
How is it that one of your kids is happy to sit quietly and play in a focused way while your other one will chew the furniture if she spends more than an hour inside? One rarely throws a tantrum while the other regularly prostrates herself on the floor screaming.
It's not rocket science to realise that children from the same parents not only can be, but often are, completely different in personality. And while this may be a challenge when it comes to parenting at times, and can mean we need to adopt multiple parenting styles, there are many factors which contribute to these differences – and it can be worth understanding these.
When it comes to personality, the jury's out on how much of a role genes play, but the figure often bandied around is that 70 percent is genetic – leaving the other 30 percent to be nurture and environment.
For example, the inheritability of shyness and other anxiety-related behaviours is estimated to be somewhere between 40 and 60 percent, according to many studies. Intelligence, which can bring with it its own personality issues, is also believed to be highly inheritable.
Conditions that can affect your child's temperament, such as anything along the Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and even dyslexia, are also believed to be highly inheritable, so it can be worth knowing you and your partner's family history when trying to make sense of the littlies.
Where your child is born within the family can play a huge role in their temperament. On this many psychologists and academics agree – and a pile of books and papers have been written on the topic. In fact, Australian psychologist Michael Grose wrote a book which sums up some of the thinking called Why First-borns Rule the World and Last-borns Want to Change it.
Much of the advice to parents around birth order is to recognise the role it can play in your child's temperament.
Psychologist Sally-Anne McCormack says that research has shown that eldest children tend to grow up mirroring their parents stronger values, which means that second children will often tend to adopt very different interests, passions and values.
"For example if the family has strong academic values, the eldest child is more likely to follow a similar path and aim to achieve academically. When the second child comes along, they can often sense they may need to be different to get attention, so they may be sporty," she says.
"Parents who aren't interested in sport may find, then, this child more difficult to understand and interact with.
"Even if you don't 'get' your child or understand their passion, learn to. You may not share their passion or interests but you can show an interest in them. Involve yourself in all your children's lives."
The debate about whether gender differences are innate or created by our environment rages on. While the physiological differences are obvious, many of the people involved in gender studies still firmly point a finger at the gender-specific culture we are raised in.
So what that can mean is that mums and dads respond to and parent their kids according to their own innate thoughts on gender – and that can be a hard idea to break.
Recent UK research into 10 and 11 year-olds has confirmed that girls and boys play differently. Girls tend to spend time in smaller groups and engage in verbal games, conversation and socialising. Most boys play in larger groups, which lend themselves more to physically active games, such as football.
Other studies have suggested that boys are predisposed to higher activity levels as a result of androgens (male hormones) in utero. What research has revealed is that boys in all cultures around the world wrestle more, mock fight more and are attracted to themes of power and domination.
Whatever the reason for the huge personality differences between the kids we have, the "blood is thicker than water" rule often comes into play. The constant in parenting advice from the experts is to be consistent in how we parent and understand that each of our wonderful kids is different and unique and to celebrate that rather than criticise or condemn.

One of four men charged with raping women at parties in May says his $1 million bond is unfair.
Nunnenkamp, 28, of North Platte, as scheduled for arraignment, but his case was continued until a later date. Defense attorney Ryan Wilcox told the court that he was assigned yesterday and needs more time to study the case.
Nunnenkamp was arrested Monday in connection with the alleged rapes, six months after the crimes were reported. Nunnenkamps DNA was found on swabs taken from one of the victims, police said.
Nunnenkamps bond is set at $100,000.
All four of the Apodacas, who were first charged in May, remain in jail on individual bonds of $1 million, and their court hearings were again continued. Wellan said prosecutors are still awaiting the results of more lab tests.
Defense attorney Patrick Heng argued that Anthony Apodacas $1 million bond was unfair, compared to the $100,000 bond for Nunnenkamp.
Heng said that Nunnenkamp has a longer record of prior crimes, many of which are violence related.
He said his client is no angel by any stretch, but his prior crimes are not violent in nature. And, he noted that Anthony Apodaca is only charged with aiding and abetting, not committing, the assaults.
Heng said, Mr. Nunnenkamp has run a reign of terror all across the state, with a record of violence across several counties.
Heng asked that Apodacas bond be reduced to $50,000.
Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Jennifer Wellan objected to any bond reduction.
Lincoln County Judge Michael Piccolo denied Hengs request. He said he did not preside in the court when the bond was set for Nunnenkamp, and he added that he could not adjust Apodacas bond because that case has not progressed.
I cant consider any change in bond until at least a preliminary hearing has been held, Piccolo said.

24/7 Duct Repair and Duct Replacement Niddrie Services
Lotus Duct Repair Niddrie offers professional duct repair services, also expert for Duct Installation, Duct Sealing & Duct Replacement Niddrie to optimize duct performance.
Duct Repair Specialist Niddrie, Our Duct Repair technicians in Niddrie are well trained and certified to work on all duct brands. We work for both residential and commercial propety all across Niddrie.
Ductwork system is how your home moves hot and cold air throughout the house or Offices. Supply ducts bring the conditioned (heated or cooled) air to rooms, while return ducts bring air back to the furnance or air conditioner.
Your air ducts do not have moving or mechanized parts. However, like any other component of your heating and air conditioning system, your ductwork can eventually develop a number of different problems. Whether you aren't getting enough heating or cooling in certain parts of your home or you've noticed an increase in your energy usage, call us 0425 029 990 and one of our specialists can answer any questions that you have.
We will inspect your home to identify problem areas and recommend solutions such as duct sealing, duct repair, and duct insulation.
Problems associated with Duct Repair Niddrie
Duct leakage : Duct leakage causes conditioned air to escape before it reaches certain rooms, meaning your heating or cooling system will need to run longer to get rooms to the desired temperature.
Poor Duct Installation : By far the most common cause of air duct problems is bad installation work. It may be that your ducts weren't secured properly to your ceiling joists, that there are extra bends or turns in them, or that they've collapsed. All of these things can reduce the efficiency of your home and your comfort.
Wrong Size Duct : If whoever built your home or installed your ducts didn't take the time to perform the required Manual D calculations for your home, it might mean that your ducts are the wrong size. This could mean that the joints and seals that connect your ducts together and to your heating and air conditioning equipment could be suffering extra stress. Eventually, they'll likely crack and cause air to leak out.
Old age Duct : Time marches on and it can really take a toll on your ductwork. Your ducts could be dried out or cracking, which can simply happen over time.
Insects and rodents in Duct : Rodents and insects can wreak havoc on your ductwork by gnawing holes in it or slowly eating away at the inside of it.
Professional Duct Repair Niddrie ServicesOur technicians will perform an inspection of your air duct system using sophisticated equipment designed to spot leaks and abnormalities in your air flow.
Changes to your attic space, natural shifting, and certain maintenance work (when done without regard to your air ducts), as well as contaminant, build up from dirty air ducts can lead to air duct damage.
One of the most common types of damage (and one of the most costly) is when an air duct has become partially detached from the rest of the system. This problem is particularly difficult if the source of the leak is close to the unit itself, as most heating and cooling systems are located in an uninsulated area.
After our expert has determined the source and area that is problematic they will give you an estimate for air duct repair to correct the issue.
Our technicians will make sure that your supply ducts and return ducts are in good working order, as well as the interior lines in your attic and other spaces.
While not necessarily damage, this lack of insulation on the air ducting leads to less efficient performance that results in the system working harder and for longer. This problem not only raises your energy costs but can have a dramatic effect on shortening the life span of your heating and cooling systems!
We can help to insulate at risk air ducts and improve better overall performance. Call on 0425 029 990 for Same Day Duct Repair Niddrie

Duct Carbon Monoxide Testing Niddrie
How do carbon monoxide detectors work?
Carbon monoxide detectors sound an alarm when they sense a certain amount of carbon monoxide in the air over time. Different types of alarms are triggered by different types of sensors.
- Biomimetic sensor: A gel changes color when it absorbs carbon monoxide, and this color change triggers the alarm.
- Metal oxide semiconductor: When the silica chip's circuitry detects carbon monoxide, it lowers the electrical resistance, and this change triggers the alarm.
- Electrochemical sensor: Electrodes immersed in a chemical solution sense changes in electrical currents when they come into contact with carbon dioxide, and this change triggers the alarm.
Once the alarm sounds, the carbon monoxide detector must be in a carbon monoxide-free environment to reset itself.
We Offer Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation and Replacement in Niddrie
Clearly carbon monoxide is not something to fool around with. Neither is your carbon monoxide detector. You need to know that this piece of equipment is going to operate properly, without fail, if you hope to sleep soundly at night. When you schedule your carbon monoxide detector installation with us, you will have no doubt about it. Our certified technicians use only the finest products, and they will ensure that your carbon monoxide detector is installed properly and functioning effectively.

Your comfort is important, but your safety must be protected at all costs. Carbon monoxide is one of the biggest threats in the household, but it is simple to prevent exposure to this deadly gas. Call Lotus Cleaning in Niddrie today to learn more about the carbon monoxide detectors. When we handle the installation of your Carbon Monoxide detector, you can
trust in the quality of the product and that of the workmanship we offer

Twins select Vavra's son in 33rd round of Draft
Minnesota may now have three Vavra men in its organization.
Trey Vavra, the son of hitting coach Joe and the brother of Cedar Rapids Kernels second baseman Tanner, was picked by the Twins in the 33rd round of the First-Year Player Draft on Saturday.
Joe was worried that -- thanks to the Twins' game on Saturday afternoon -- he might miss his son getting selected. But the timing ended up being perfect.
"As the game's going on, you're not watching the Draft," Joe said. "But you are. Unbeknownst to me, all of our staff is watching the Draft, too, not saying [anything]. When he got announced by the Twins, it was all knuckles and high-fives."
The pick was made right after Minnesota's 8-0 victory over Houston concluded.
"We were really excited about that with Joe back there," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He was a proud papa. It was a neat moment back there. He's a good player. He can hit the ball. [His dad] had him out here hitting the other day, and he was really pounding it."
Trey, an infielder, hit .330 as a senior this season at Florida Southern College, where he transferred last year after a three-year stint at Eastern Illinois.
"He did it kind of the hard way," Joe said. "But that's good. He knows what he wants. He wants to do it. He wants to play pro ball."

Tvheadend is a lightweight TV tuning backend that supports DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-S2, ATSC, IPTV and PAL analog TV. It has an integrated web frontend that can be used to configure the backend, view the EPG and start and view live TV or recordings.
If you're running Ubuntu, you'll only have to execute 3 commands to install Tvheadend and XBMC-PVR. Open a terminal window (Applications -> Terminal) and copy + paste the following commands into it and press enter:
sudo apt-get -y install curl && \
curl -Ls --output /tmp/install-xbmc.sh http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/install-xbmc.sh && \
bash /tmp/install-xbmc.sh
If you are using XBMCbuntu, install the following too:
sudo apt-get -y install xbmc-standalone
Configuring TVheadend
Go to the TVheadend GUI by visiting http://yourserver:9981/
Go to configuration -> tv adapters and select a tv adapter.
Set the "NIT-o Network ID". You can find that in your provider's manual.
Enable "Autodetect muxes" and "Idle scanning"
Then select "Add DVB Network by location"
Click "save"
Tvheadend will now start to detect multiplexes and services. Wait for "Muxes awaiting initial scan" to become 0.
Then click "Map DVB Services to channels". TVheadend will now try to open each channel and will add each channel that can be opened.
Repeat this process for every DVB adapter.
Configuring XBMC
After installing, you can head to http://yourserver:9981/ to access the web interface and configure the backend.
After you configured the backend, start up XBMC and go to System -> Addons -> Installed -> PVR clients -> Tvheadend HTSP Client. Choose "configure" and fill in the requested information. Then choose "enable" to enable the PVR client. The only thing you should have to change is the server address. Fill in your server ip or host name there.
Go back to System and choose TV -> General -> Activate.
Now you can start using Tvheadend from within XBMC by accessing the LiveTV in the main menu.

BUSINESS chiefs took to the dance floor this weekend for Winchester's answer to Strictly Come Dancing.
In a jam-packed competition run by Winchester City Council, dance troops from across the district were challenged with teaching some of the city's VIPs how to sashay like the stars.
The Step Up! initiative came to a climax on Sunday (May 11) with a glitzy grand finale at the Guildhall, which was packed to the rafters with over 250 audience members.
Special guest performer Falah Hassan kept the audience entertained – known as Poppin' Ron, he was a semi-finalist on Britain's Got Talent and even gave Winchester Mayor Ernie Jeffs an impromptu street dance lesson.
University of Winchester's Vice Chancellor, Professor Joy Carter, braved the big stage opting for a rock 'n' roll number with Platform School of Dance.
Chief executive of Marwell Zoo, James Cretney, danced the Argentine Tango with NuTango, David Gibbons from Denplan went for West Coast Swing with Silvia from Salsa y Sol, and Jane Fish, managing director of the Ministry of Fish, paired up with Integr8 for a street dance performance.
Winchester City Council apprentices Jade Moses and Chandler Divers showcased an Irish dance with Roynon Dance.
But it was Eloisa Broadbent and Kat Goodchild from the Carroll Centre in Stanmore who dazzled the crowd with their up-beat hip-hop routine with The Firefly Theatre School and were crowned the winners.
Eloisa and Kat said: "We are still buzzing and extremely happy to bring the trophy to the Carroll Centre. We hope that our effort and enthusiasm will inspire children, youth and adults in the community to take up dance as a healthy and fun lifestyle."
Director of Firefly Theatre School, Jessica Waters-Leavins, said she was thrilled with their win. "It was just fantastic to be involved and it was such a beautiful evening where everyone showcased their work. Winning was a bonus for us."
The competitors were judged by Katie Francis from Blue Apple Theatre, Mayor Ernie Jeffs, Poppin' Ron, Sally Stanyard, a local dance school owner and Cathy Seago, a dance lecturer at the University.
The competition has seen flash mobs in the city centre, and was designed to encourage people of all ages to get off the sofa and into their dancing shoes to get fit.
Assistant director of economy and communities at Winchester City Council, Eloise Appleby, said: "Our glitzy evening at the Guildhall put dance in the spotlight in Winchester by delivering a fun and fabulous version of a popular TV dance contest. Now the Step Up! Winchester challenge is for local people of all ages to take up dance and become healthier in the process."
Students from the University and Sally Stanyard's Dance School also showcased different levels of dance, from beginner classes to degree-level choreography, and Poppin' Ron alongside Intergr8's Josh Hoffman left jaws dropping with a display of spinning and floor work.

Best Cheating Songs: No. 20
If Will Rogers had been a country fan, he'd probably have amended one of his most famous quips to say that nothing is certain but death, taxes and cheating songs. Just like trains and booze, songs about sleeping around have long been a staple of country music. The Boot counts down infidelity's best.
'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under' —Shania Twain (1995)
Wandering Words: "Don't act so blue/I know I'm not the only girl you run to"
She presses her paramour for details about his multiple trysts, but the affairs don't seem to bother her as much as his flaunting them. A coquettish Twain, whose real-life husband was recently accused of cheating, seems to relish telling this guy off, as if to prove he never meant that much to her, either.

Missing tot leads to man's arrest
A missing 2-year-old led to a father's arrest Sunday on a charge of violating a restraining order, Salinas police said.
Police also said officers asked prosecutors to look at filing possible charges of child neglect against the toddler's 21-year-old mother.
The case started when officers went to Rainier Drive about 2:40 p.m. Sunday on a report of an unattended toddler walking around.
Officers determined that Michael Renteria, 24, had dropped off his 4-year-old son after a visitation at the home of his former girlfriend. He found her in the back yard looking for their 2-year-old daughter, police said.
Renteria drove around the neighborhood, found the youngster and brought her home. When police checked the Plumas Way home, they found Renteria allegedly hiding in a closet.
Police said there was a restraining order against him that prohibited him from being at the home or contacting his former girlfriend.
Officers said the 2-year-old showed signs of neglect and was taken into protective custody. The 4-year-old was in good health and wasn't taken, but child welfare workers will make a follow-up, police said.
Renteria was arrested for allegedly violating a restraining order, police said.
Man stabbed while getting out of shower
A man was stabbed in the back with a butcher knife as he got out of his apartment shower, Salinas police said.
The Sunday attack on the 51-year-old man occurred about 5:15 a.m. in the 400 block of Regency Circle, police said.
The man said he had a female friend visiting, and she called for a ride. The victim took a shower while she waited for her ride, police said.
When the victim got out, a man about 25 to 30 years old was waiting and stabbed him once in the back, police said. The attacker took the man's wallet. The attacker and female left, but police said it wasn't clear if they left together.
The victim's wounds were not life-threatening, police said.
Shots fired at underage drinking party
A party ended about 1 a.m. Sunday at a Salinas home when shots were fired and police found alcohol was being served to minors.
Officers responded to a call of shots fired in the 300 block of Andina Drive, where a party was going on.
Police said the host, Carla Landino, 20, was celebrating a birthday with about 70 guests. A group of four or five uninvited people tried to get in and were refused, police said.
After words were exchanged, a man from the uninvited group pulled a gun and fired twice into the ceiling. No one was hurt.
Landino was cited for allegedly hosting an underage party, police said.
Man arrested in baseball bat assault
Salinas police arrested a man suspected of trying to attack people twice with a baseball bat.
A 22-year-old man reported Monday that he was walking past Hartnell Park shortly before 10 a.m. near West Alisal Street when a man got out of a truck and began swinging a baseball bat at him for no reason.
Police said there had been a similar incident earlier. Officers found a man and vehicle matching the victim's description near West Acacia and Camden Way.
Jimmy Cooper, 55, was booked into the Monterey County Jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Residents put out garage fire
A garage fire on Los Palos Drive in Salinas was out before fire departments arrived, according to Captain Frankie Rodriquez.
The Monday night blaze was put out by residents of the home with a garden hose, he said. No one was injured.
Four fire engines and one latter truck — 17 firefighters total — were sent to assist. He said early reports just said the home's detached garage was on fire.
Rodriquez said the first firefighters were on scene at 7:43 p.m. — two minutes after the call came in.
He declined to give the exact address of the home. He said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Gun fired in attempt to rob market
Two men attempted to rob the Amigo Market in Chualar Monday night, the Monterey County Sheriff's Department reported.
The two men, dressed in ski masks and carrying small handguns, are still at large after the failed attempt at the market on 24415 Grant Street at 6:15 p.m. , Sgt. Randy Ragsac said.
He said a cashier refused to hand over money so they left. One of the men fired his weapon into the store as they fled.
No one was injured, he said.
Ragsac said anyone with more information can call the sheriff's department at 755-3722.

Pittacus Lore's novel takes to the big screen in this sci-fi teen romance...

The latest teen book series to receive the big screen treatment is none other than Pittacus Lore's I Am Number Four. The first story in a proposed six book series, the young adult novel introduces readers to an intriging, exciting and romantic sci-fi yarn which is at once both cliche in its character's relationships and original in its design and story.
While I have not personally read the book, I do know one thing: Piccacus Lore is actually the pen name for a pair of writers: first-timer Jobie Hughes and veteran, best-selling author James Frey, who many consider a fraud after it was discovered a number of major plot points in his supposed autobiography A Million Little Pieces were untrue. No matter, A Million Little Pieces is a work of writing brilliance and James Frey can spin a tale well worth reading, true or not. This may be at least one of the reasons why the book I Am Number Four spent six weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list, had its movie rights sold almost immediately and even had the film into production before the book was published.
Now, thanks to an adaptation from writing partners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville and Spiderman 2) and direction from D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye and Disturbia), Dreamworks has brought the book to life on the big screen. Telling the tale of teenage alien John Smith (Alex Pettyfer), who is anything but normal and everything but ready for what he's about to experiance. One of the last of his kind, he is stranded on earth and essentially forced to defend earth from the same evil which devistated his home planet. His protector, Henri (Timothy Olyphant) has helped raise John, ensuring the pair stay off the grid and invisible to the prying eyes of the evil Morgadorian warriors who stalk John, seeking his death and the death of those like him. After an incident forces them to relocate (yet again), the pair find themselves in Paradise, Ohio where John falls in love with hometown sweetheart Sarah Hart (Dianna Agron), who captivates him with her simple ways, charm, and beauty. However, when the Morgs find John in Paradise, it's only a matter of time before trouble ensues...
While I really wanted to dislike the film for its seemingly contrived characters and unoriginal character develoment, I have to say I'm more intrigued by the possibilities of this story growing into something truly amazing. The acting is as expected with Petyfer and Agron having plenty of on-screen chemistry. So what if it was like watching Glee? Glee is a fan-favorite TV show and is attracting plenty of viewers...
Personally I think some of the film's best acting is done by Olyphant, who does his best to be portray Henri, John's guardian, in a serious, soft-spoken way. As a well-meaning warrior guardian tasked with protecting one of the most valuable treasures in the universe, John, Henri has a daunting job that means death is potentially waiting around every corner; and yet, he's somewhat lighthearted when the worst is presented. Likewise, Teresa Palmer, who plays Number 6, is brilliant. Her carefree, kick-butt attitude hides a scared young woman who'll throw herself into danger in order to rid the earth of the Morg's evil. If a sequel is made (and I'd personally love to see the story develop more on-screen), Palmer would hopefully be featured as the second book in the series is entitled The Power of Six.
As an entertaining, teen sci-fi romance, I Am Number Four delivers on all accounts. It's got pretty faces, a teenage alien boy with amazing powers falling for a sweet, innocent teenage girl, intriguing monsters (it's almost worth the price of admission to watch John's alien dog/chimera battle it out with the Morg's monster pets), and plenty of eye-candy action. The only major disappointments are the cliche character relationships (John and Henri) which seem torn right out of Star Wars. While this isn't enough to avoid the film, it's enough to bother.
No doubt aimed at teens and fans of the book series, I Am Number Four is a decent action film with an intriging story that deserves a look. Were I sure the film's sequel would be made, I'd highly recommend I Am Number Four to all sci-fi film fans; unfortunately, I don't think it'll perform well enough at the box office to warrent the sequel, which means fans who actually enjoy the movie will be forced to pick up the sequel book to find out what happens next.
I Am Number Four stars Alex Pettyfer, Dianna Agron, Timothy Olyphant, and Teresa Palmer, was produced by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, directed by D.J. Caruso from a script by Al Gough and Miles Millar and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for language.

HOCKEY: Swindon hit for six
6:00am Thursday 31st January 2013
By Ned Payne
6:00am Thursday 31st January 2013
By Ned Payne
SWINDON suffered a 6-0 defeat at Premiership leaders Isca but it could have been so different for the Isambard side.
Isca took a 2-0 lead early on courtesy of an open-play strike and a penalty stroke after Richie Edwards saved on the line with his body.
The visitors' reaction was a resilient one and they ended up having the lion's share of possession in the first period, but the forwards were unable to tuck their chances away.
Had they been more clinical, Swindon could quite conceivably have been 4-2 up at the break, but instead they found themselves 2-0 down.
After the break, the Wiltshire side conceded a third and then buckled under sever pressure late on, Isca netting three times inside the final 10 minutes.
Swindon will be without influential skipper Chris Parsons when they face Team Bath Buccs at Isambard on Saturday (11am).
In Central 2, struggling Wootton Bassett picked up a valuable 5-2 win at local rivals Swindon A.
The visitors had a couple of early short corner opportunities before Patrick Law scored on the counter-attack.
Four minutes before the break, a cross from Jake Nunns resulted in a Swindon player knocking into their own net.
The hosts pulled one back shortly after the restart, but Bassett replied strongly forcing a string of short corners before Law grabbed his second.
Soon after, a breakaway resulted in Matt Daniell making it 4-1 before Swindon got their second.
In the closing stages, Mark Turner converted a penalty flick to ensure a comfortable victory.
In East Central 1, table-toppers North Wilts had no game but remain well clear at the summit.
In women's hockey, Swindon snatched a 4-3 victory following a topsy-turvy encounter with visitors Hereford in Premier Division 2A.
Both sides had chances early on but it was Hereford that hit the front with a tap-in.
The away side then failed to clear and Clare Tyas coolly directed the ball home for her first goal of the season.
More end-to-end hockey followed before Julie Lewis, Fran Bennett and Lindsey Wall combined to allow Vicki Stokes to smash into the net on the run.
Hereford capitalised on a defensive error to level at 2-2, but Swindon worked their way in behind the defence from a free hit and Lindsey Wall converted.
The away side levelled again after the break in controversial fashion and further chances followed for both teams from short corners, with Sarah Anstey distinguishing herself in the Swindon goal.
The game-winning goal came when Linda Brouwers blasted home from the top of the D following a short corner.
Tyas and Stokes were both named player of the match.
In North Division, a brace from Tegan Buchanan inspired Wootton Bassett to a 4-1 victory over basement side Yate 2nds. Suzanne Lello and Suzanne Coles were also on the scoresheet.
North Wilts had no game in Wessex Division 1.
Swindon 2nds won 5-2 against Chippenham 3rds in Wessex Division 2, the goals coming from Sue Roberts (2), Beth George, Ellie Symonds and Ella Caldwell. Keeper Aly Greetham was named player of the match.

text: First road test, WVU hoops and more beer By Mitch Vingle October 4, 2012 Story Share AND SO it begins.The real test, that is, for West Virginia's football program.WVU will visit Texas Saturday night in one of the nation's premier games. The No. 8 Mountaineers versus the No. 11 Longhorns.Great stuff. Should be fun to watch. But label the game a quiz. The final grade will surface after WVU hits the road and completes the season against what's unquestionably the Mountaineers' toughest schedule ever.Believe not? Check the latest Sagarin computer rankings. The Big 12 is ranked No. 1, ahead of the Southeastern Conference, ahead of the Pac-12 and ahead of the Big Ten.It's easy to understand why. Nine of the 10 Big 12 teams are either ranked or received Top 25 votes in either the Associated Press or USA Today coaches poll. Within those Sagarin computer rankings, eight of the 10 teams are ranked among the top 23 teams.Interestingly, Texas is ranked No. 2 to Alabama by the computer and WVU No. 19. But look down the road for the Mountaineers. After Texas, West Virginia plays at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders aren't ranked in the Associated Press poll, but are No. 24 in the coaches poll and received 39 votes in the AP poll - including one from me for the 25th spot. In that computer ranking, Tech is ranked No. 11, or eight spots above WVU.Of course, Kansas State and West Virginia are a voter's choice, falling at No. 7 or 8 in the polls. TCU is ranked No. 15 in the AP and 13 in the coaches polls. Oklahoma State, which apparently was robbed in its loss to Texas, received a few votes from coaches. Oklahoma is No. 17 in the AP and No. 14 in the coaches polls. Even Iowa State received a few votes by the writers. The only Big 12 school not to receive a vote was Kansas.Remind Mountaineer fans of anything?Yep, the Big East basketball schedules. If anyone at WVU understands what it's like to routinely send teams against ranked opponents, it's hoops coach Bob Huggins. He did that within the Big East. He'll do it again in the Big 12."It's hard," Huggins said. "I mean, it's different because they have a week to prepare and we might have from Saturday to Monday. "But the hardest thing to do is try to get your players to play at the highest level and not have a bad day. You saw what happened last year to Oklahoma State [in football]. It had a sub-par game against Iowa State and there was no national championship game."Indeed, OSU was No. 2 and the upstart Cyclones upset the Cowboys 37-31 in the last regular-season game. Oklahoma State went into Ames with a BCS title game ticket in hand and walked out with it in shreds."You have to play on an even keel," Huggins said. "You can't have sub-par games. We struggled with that a bunch last year."Huggins is obviously handling it well. His Mountaineer teams have reached the NCAA tournament five straight seasons. And it is different, perhaps more difficult, in basketball with multiple games per week. But Huggins knows the overall challenge."You're not going to be as sharp one day as another," he said. "It's inevitable." We'll see how well football coach Dana Holgorsen and company handle the road challenge beginning Saturday.nnWhile the college football season is in full bloom, Huggins' basketball team will quietly begin practice Oct. 13.It should prove to be another successful season for Huggins. He returns Jabari Hinds, Deniz Kilicli and will now have the services of transfers Aaric Murray (La Salle), Juwan Staten (Dayton) and Matt Humphrey (Boston College).According to Huggins, however, a couple of those have been hampered by injury. "Staten had minor knee surgery and is out for a while," said the coach. "Humphrey had shoulder surgery a while back."Huggins said he wasn't sure when Staten would be ready to go. When pressed on whether that could be for the start of practice, the coach said, "probably not."nnAnd finally . . .WVU announced on Thursday that the Statler Club Lounge area in the Coliseum will include beer sales at the men's basketball games this season. There won't, however, be beer sales in the general concession/seating area of the Coliseum.My guess is the folks at the school forgot to finish the release. The one that should say there won't be beer sales in the general concession/seating area until next year, after the general patrons in the Coliseum see those in the Statler Lounge enjoying a cold one and demand their own.It's just step one, folks. Step two cannot be far behind.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.
