The same, but different
If you're not familiar with Clash of the Titans story, you should be thanks to the remake from Warner Brothers coming in April of this year. The story follows a half-God named Perseus. His mother slept with Zeus and he was produced and bound for greatness. Perseus finds his way into a strange, struggling land where a princess is trapped against her will. Andromeda was going to marry a man named Calibos, but thanks to Calibos' misdeeds he was horribly disfigured by the Gods. Not accepting this disfigurement and shunned by Andromeda, he cast a curse on her that each suitor she meets must answer a riddle made by him. If they don't guess the riddle then the punishment is death. Perseus, with the help from the Gods, finds a way to guess Calibos' riddle and defeat the abomination forever. Regretfully, Calibos is the son of goddess Thetis and the city ends up paying for Perseus' actions. Thetis unleashes the Kraken on the city and promises to avoid destroying the entire city if Andromeda is given up to the Kraken for sacrifice. Perseus must find a way to defeat the Kraken and save the city and save Andromeda.
The film really does put together some of the best group of actors in recent history. I doubt it cost Warner Brothers millions of dollars to do this. You've got the powerful, and wonderful, Laurence Olivier playing Zeus. Olivier's Zeus is one of the more commanding roles that is pulled off with ease from the seasoned actor. Harry Hamlin, who went on to a very successful career on L.A. Law (80s show) and several movies, plays Perseus the protagonist. Against him there is the beautiful, yet sassy, Maggie Smith as Thetis (mother to Calibos). Helping Perseus fight against Thetis and Calibos is the very missed Burgess Meredith as Ammon. Finally, the beautiful Judi Bowker as Andromeda, Perseus' main squeeze. This cast might have been young or up and coming in 1981, but they commanded the screen perfectly. Hamlin, who was young and barely broken into filmmaking, pulled off a spectacular role as hero. At the time, no one in their right mind would think that anyone could beat him during his adventures through the movie.
The cast was second to none and the carried the film beautifully.
Another great part about the film, and something that was certainly toted pretty well during the marketing of the movie, was the variety of monsters that Perseus came across. From giant scorpions to deranged devils and ultimately to the Kraken at the end; there wasn't a shortage of monsters in the film to keep you on the edge of your seat. The most memorable and fierce, outside of the gigantic Kraken, was Medusa. I can't remember a more intense battle between monster and man, in almost any film, then the one between Perseus and Medusa. I know that might sound extaggerated, but I still get chills after 29 years from this battle. I knew that she was stop motion, but the lighting mixed with the sound effects simply made this battle more intense. Plus, she's (bleep) ugly. Ugly, plus mean, plus snake hair, plus turning people to stone with an eery gaze made the long battle between Perseus and her one for the ages.
Shifting gears a bit, let's talk about flaws.
The movie wasn't without flaws. The story itself is a bit flawed as it's roughly put together without regards to smooth transitions in plots or in character development. I think most critics would agree it simply went too fast. In 1981, there were already stories in place that were perfect examples of how character development and slowly developing plots could mean a successful film. Here we've got a story that introduces our hero, puts him in danger, finds him true love and doesn't stick around too much to develop any of it. The film was solely depending on action and monsters and not too much on developing properly. Ultimately, especially when it was released in the theaters, this is probably where it met its downfall. Hopefully this flaw isn't carried over to the remake. Thankfully, many early indicators are pointing towards positive outcomes. Anyway, this is the one flaw that fatally wounded what could have been an epic adventure.
Let's talk about the blu-ray for a bit.
As beautiful as the movie was in 1981, it certainly has shown some age in 2010. The magic of Clash of the Titans was that Ray Harryhausen contributed his cinema magic one last time. He shaped the magical creatures in the movie and the menacing monsters to help keep the intensity going with the action scenes and the mythological feel to the Greek story. If you're not familiar with his line of work, you need only look back about 50 or so years to see he's fascinating and frightening creations that he did by hand. His monsters in Sinbad certainly scared the bejesus out of moviegoers during the time period it was released. Regretfully, the early 80s were truly the birthplace of special effects and a guy named George Lucas drowned out stop-motion for good. Harryhausen's characters look a bit aged in comparison to today's special effects and look even more so on Blu-ray. This shouldn't stop you from admiring his work or from appreciating Clash of the Titans.
The HD upgrade for the classic adventure was a good one, despite the aging effects. The amount of detail that comes out in the picture in 1080p is quite amazing. You'll be swatting marsh flies from your television during the market place scene. You might grow hungry seeing the red blood of Medusa pour from her neck in stunning high definition. There are some spots that do have some graininess to them, but for a film that is nearly 30 years old you can't really complain much with the results. The biggest upgrade thanks to Blu-ray is the audio. While I certainly didn't care too much for the goofy soundtrack (I know, I know. Many people love the soundtrack), I loved how well the sound effects were translated over. It's truly one of the brighter spots in the movie and it helps bring out some of the best moments of the film. For example, the creaking of Medusa's bow as she cocks the arrows back to kill Perseus and his men is nothing short of exquisite. Need another example? Listen to the movement of the giant scorpions and enjoy. All of the sounds in this film simply shimmer ever so gently and beautifully into your ears.
As for the special features, here's what you're looking at:
-Interviews: A Conversation with Ray Harryhausen
– Myths and Monsters
The interview with Harryhausen is nothing short of cool and insightful. Folks that is film history living and breathing (and talking) on your Blu-ray. That feature is really strong. The Myths and Monsters is interesting. I wish there were more features attached to this release. You'll basically have a nice feature in the booklet that makes up the Blu-ray, but having more recent interviews of the stars or a nice documentary of the film would have been fantastic; doubly so thanks to the upcoming remake.

When Beck was last in town, performing as a key feature at Harvest Festival 2012, he casually told triple j's The Doctor that he was working on a new album, like it ain't no thang. Understandably fans have been keen for more information on the release and it appears that time has come.
It was recently revealed that the album, which started to take shape all the way back in 2008, will see Beck strip down any electronic devices and strap on the old timber and steel, with the release said to be that of an acoustic nature not unlike fan favourites Sea Change and Mutations. The album will also come hand in hand with a run of acoustic shows across the US.
Word is, the tunes will be premiered on the tour so the album will most likely drop after that, hopefully with a couple of cheeky live performance extra tracks or something along those lines.
Technically speaking the last release to come from Beck was 2012's Song Reader, which was strictly sheet music to be interpreted by musicians as they saw fit. The last audio release proper from the dude was 2009's Modern Guilt so it's definitely time for fresh material.

Until mankind first stepped outside in 1934, nature was thought to be a fanciful myth, like yogurt or the clutch hitter. Spend a few hours soaring through the fresh air of truth with today's Groupon: for $44, you get a 2.5-hour Coach Class Tour with Kersey Valley Zipline in High Point (an $89 value). The AACT-certified instructors at Kersey Valley Zipline guide groups of up to seven participants through an aviation-themed zipline course that winds through lush woods. During the 2.5-hour Coach Class Tour, air navigators clad in harnesses, helmets, and Tarzan suits cover 1.5 miles of engineer-designed cable while swinging 40100 feet above ground between 10 sky decks, each named after an airport city code. Zipliners are encouraged to bring their own cameras; venue-snapped, for-purchase photos of flights and free low-res downloads will be available after tours. After scheduling a reservation, Groupon-holders can call Kersey Valley Zipline to upgrade to the longer First Class tour for an additional $24.

This was a one night stay with the kids. VERY convient location to Mall of Georgia and the surrounding attractions-----right off of I-985 and I-85 connector.
The hotel looks new, but has a stair case (or elevator) that you can take to the 2nd floor-----I don't see that much in newer construction.
You can also tell that real estate is at a premium on this side of Atlanta because parking is tight. If you drive around the hotel to the end of the parking lot (horseshoe) you will have to back your way back to the front just to be able to turn around if you can't find a spot. Fun Fun Fun.
The ceilings on the 2nd floor are low (which you don't ever see in new construction). I'd say the ceilings are in the 7 foot range (whereas 8 feet would be a minimum in my book).
The rooms are appropriately appointed with marble bathroom sinks and little fridges/wet bar areas in the room which was convient.
Breakfast is standard: Hard boiled eggs, biscuits, sausage, pastries, bagles/muffins, juices and coffee. They also have one of those vile automated pancake makers. If you've never had the joy of experiencing this novelty, then just hit the button, and after placing your plate at one end 45 seconds later a "fresh" pancake pops out of the end of the convayor. These pancakes aren't worth eating in my opinion. Don't bother.

The SF Masonic Auditorium (originally the Grand Masonic Auditorium and formerly known as the Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium) is an auditorium located atop Nob Hill in San Francisco, California. Opening in 1958, it is the main meeting venue within the California Masonic Memorial Temple, it has several large sculptures representing the four branches of the Armed Services on its outside wall. There is a frieze representing a gigantic tug of war between good and evil forces. Inside, it has a unique mosaic window designed by artist Emile Norman, the mosaic depicts a variety of natural themes as well as the professions. It contains gravel and soil from each of the 58 counties in California.[2]
Freemasonry came to California in the wake of the Gold Rush of 1849. The first meeting of California Lodge No. 13 took place November 17, 1849, on Montgomery Street. The Montgomery Street location was replaced by a new Masonic Hall on Kearny and Pine Streets June 6, 1850, and renamed the California Masonic Lodge No. 1.[3] The current location opened in 1958.

Discussion in 'Streetwear and Denim' started by blackplatano, Oct 21, 2006.
Those are pretty sweet, how far up the shoe do your toes go, up to the cap toe line?
yep, my big toe just passes the cap toe line
I want my girl to bring me back some longer, pointier ones for christmas, that would be sweet.
Those are great, I'd like to see them w/ a more tapered jean personally.
Ratty those look real dope with those jeans
what jeans are you wearing ratboycom?
Here are some more pics of the shoes, This time wearing some slimmer leg Uniqlo "dress Up Denim"
Also there is a pic of me comparing my real foot size to the size of the shoe
And as for the question of what kind of denim I was wearing in the first pictures... You guys are going to hate me, They are Express Slim M11 Raw Denim, Which around in my parts people think I am some kind of "Rich Guy" because I spend "So much Money for one pair of jeans." Basically around here I dont have to wear anything really fancy and people are impressed. Although given the oportunity I would buy some nicer stuff (I tried 45RPM Jeans when I was in Tokyo but the sales girl was kinda clueless and couldnt find anything slim enough for me, I also tried some other Raw Unwashed Denim at some little boutique in OIOI City in Shibuya. Unfotunately they didnt have my size, in waist, on hand). Right now I cant really afford a pair of $200 Premium/Japanese Denim. Im a College student...
damn rat those are fucking awesome, what brand is that????
here are a couple i bought a few months ago.
umm.. no comment
umm.. no comment
I was starting to wonder if I were the only one.
I was starting to wonder if I were the only one.
I was thinking that the greenish ones would go nicely with a feather hat.
The brand is "Grosso" but there are many different brands that do the style of shoe, they were all over the place in Tokyo in the fashionable areas.
Damn, those square toed things are... Damn... Im gonna have to agree with above those things are total Pimp shoes (as in only a pimp would get away with wearing them), only way they could be more is if they were gator skin
Those look like bannisters.
Oh hells no on the square shoes. My party shoes are cuban heel winklepickers.

This is one of those occasional posts I write which are just because I want to, and this is my blog, and I can. So, no writing, reading or book stuff here. Feel free to skip it if you want to.
It's about the story in today's Ottawa Citizen titled New elementary schools top Ottawa-Carleton school board list of capital priorities. This is an accurate story. This is a factual story. This is a pretty bland story.
But this is not the whole story.
This is a story of a broken system and broken promises. This is a story of 900 kids told they were a priority, and it was important that they be housed in a school without asbestos, and with enough facilities (computer lab, gym space and even basic bathroom space) to accommodate them. That when they broke or sprained a leg, or if they lived in the neighbourhood and were disabled, they could still go to their neighbourhood school.
You see, finally, after a long struggle, and after years (YEARS – since 1998) of almost no investment being put into our strained schools in the active core of Ottawa, we were FINALLY going to get a new school for students at Broadview Avenue Public School. Not right away, but soon enough that we were told "don't worry about taking the $1.5 million you were promised to prepare for all-day kindergarten – there's no point in spending it – you're getting a new school." So ADK has come to Broadview with some of the smallest kindergarten classrooms in the board, pushing multiple classes into portables in the yard, and without bathrooms in the kindergarten classes. When we asked if we could please, maybe, possibly at least get mixer taps in the common bathrooms slated to be used by the smallest students, we were told "Hmmm … that could be complicated and expensive."
This might be a good opportunity to dispel some myths. We are not rich people living in big houses who want a gold-plated school.
My house is less than 1,500 sq.ft. I don't have a main floor family room, or even a main floor powder room. I don't have a speck of granite in my house. We don't have an ensuite. And you should see our property tax bill. We live comfortably, happily, but not richly.
We don't want a gold plated school. We want a comfortable, happy, but not rich school. We want a school without dangerous substances in the walls (and floors, and ceilings, and pipes). We want a school that allows children to get upstairs, even if they're injured or disabled. We'd like to be able to use technology upstairs (where our intermediate classes are housed) but the stairs are a barrier to media carts, etc. We'd like there to be enough space for our kids to have computer and gym time (no kindergarten students get ANY gym time this year – their phys. ed. has to be done outside, when weather allows). We'd like screens on our windows and we'd like mixer taps in our bathrooms. MIXER TAPS. Not gold-plated ones – just ones that mix hot and cold water – it's not a new technology and I don't think it's too much to ask for.
We want the new school we were promised. Our kids are disillusioned, disappointed and baffled. We thought we were in line for a new school. We were told 2015. Our children were excited. Our children felt supported.
And now? Well, now in the middle of fixing a process that is so broken the board admits it needs to have a framework built to define it, the board has randomly changed the list. Thrown new projects in front of Broadview.
I have a few questions:
(1) Since Broadview was deemed "prohibitive to repair" and determined to be worthy of a rebuild, and since that rebuild hasn't happened, how has our priority lessened? How is it possible for a priority to become not a priority WHEN NOTHING IS DONE TO ADDRESS IT?
(2) Since our rebuild is no longer imminent, do we get the approx. $1.4 million back that was not spent on Broadview to help accommodate ADK? Where is that money? I'd like to know.
(3) How is it that "growth" areas are identified as priorities when our neighbourhood is bursting at the seams with new condos and our schools are over-capacity and growing each year, and why can't we make use of the development charges paid by developers building on our streets?
And, finally, if we're going to be stuck in this re-build limbo forever, and none of our children are ever going to get to go to the magically rebuilt Broadview, CAN WE AT LEAST GET MIXER TAPS?

Question: Pineal Gland MRI Question
|thammond - Mon Aug 13, 2007 7:43 pm
Share |
My daughter is 15 and while looking for the cause of her headaches that are frequent and debilitating, senorineural hearing loss and ENG report that said dizziness came from CNS they did an MRI no contrast and found venous angioma left pariteial lobe (nothing to worry about) and with CT large vestibular aqueduct. We were told to keep her out of cheerleading which did help slow the hearing loss however they said the angioma was not the cause for her headaches and dizziness with nausea, we moved out of state and found a new Neurologist who ordered another MRI with contraast this time. It shows a 5x6mm pineal lesion with peripheral enhancement and says we should do follow up MRI's to check stability. My question is what is peripheral enhancement and what is it's signifigance with a pineal lesion. Also is it possible that she doesn't really have large vestibular aqueduct and possibly the lesion is causing pressure in that area? I don't know if they are near each other or not but curious to know.
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Fri Aug 31, 2007 3:53 pm

Hi Thammond,
Peripheral enhancement means that when the contrast was given, the outside edge of the mass lights up during the MRI pictures while the inside does not light up as much giving a ring look to it. This is common of a pineal cyst.
Pineal cysts are quite common and slightly more common in women than men. Typically they are incidental findings noted on MRI's when the study is done for some other reason. However, they can get big enough to cause symptoms of increased pressure in the brain. Your daughter's sounds like it is on the smaller side. It may or may not be large enough to cause symptoms.
I would recommend you talk with a neurosurgeon to get a specialist opinion about whether this could be causing problems or not.
The pineal gland is close to the aquaduct but I'm not sure that the size of her cyst is large enough to cause problems. I'm not knowledgeable enough about this to say for sure.
Another thing that should be considered for her headaches given that she has a dilated aquaduct is a condition called pseudotumor cerebri, which is an elevation of the pressure of the spinal fluid without an underlying obvious obstruction. It's called pseudotumor because it can have the effects of a tumor blocking spinal fluid flow but without the tumor.
Best wishes.

Geneva hotels booking).
I liked that the staff were very professional and personal. The location was excellent just on the lake. they gave us free transportation card for all of our stay. (ask for it!). They upgraded our room. Staff were very helpful and polite. Food although a bit expensive, but excellent kitchen. wifi was good.
I was there for my 10th anniversary, which they made it excellent.. they upgraded my room and give me a really quit room..it was the perfect room.. the perfect hotel..
D'Angleterre enjoys a beautiful lake-side location, in the heart of the city and with stunning views of the lake and the mountains. Given its small size (just 38 rooms and suites) the hotel is able to provide personalized service with staff excelling in name recognition of guests, attention to details and fast acting and intuition. With the exception of an old manual system air-conditioning, technology is of top quality – with a large flat led Tv, high-speed wi-fi (commplimentary) throughout the entire hotel.
The hotel staff was so friendly and attentive. I felt like royalty. We stayed in a premier room with lake view. The room was immaculate. I also appreciated the soundproof walls and windows considering how close we were to the street. Loved the bar/lounge.
Location was good, and the room was tastefully furnished – opulent is a good word. Lovely bathroom and very comfortable bed. Had a balcony, which was essential, as we are smokers. Wifi was fine in the room and the Hotel. Breakfast was excellent.

The hotel location is obviously great but the service is simply flawless. We went with our 9 month old baby girl for the first time on a trip. The hotel staff went out of its way to ensure a pampered stay for us and our baby. All the staff new our baby's name and made sure that she got a special treatment in terms of food and comfort. The breakfast is excellent and the rooms lush! out of the five hotels we stayed at in different countries during our european trip. This was the best staff and hotel. The rooms were refreshed twice which was unique. Keep up the great work! We loved our stay at the hotel Mysha and her parents!
Exquisite! Luxury interior design, exceptional comfort and impeccable service. The Leopard Bar is a must with its intimate atmosphere and pleasurable live music performances. Magnificent experience.

This staff were terrific- friendly, helpful- could not have been better! Your optional ratings of good and poor don't really address the superlatives we would use .
The hotel was absolutely perfect in every way–a beautiful boutique hotel with a wonderful restaurant (Windows). Expensive, but not by Switzerland standards. We highly recommend this hotel.
The receptionists were amazing – the Concierge are the most helpful I have ever seen in my life – the details in the room are outstanding – the treatment of astonished me – I recommend this hotel for uniqueness seekers

Very warm atmosphere. Location but yet there are many hotels around less expensive The bed is extremely comfortable. Old charm
Excellent location on the lake front within easy walk of main town areas. High standard and comfortable lake view room although a little expensive but that is expected in Geneva. In particular staff were very friendly helpful and efficient – with one exception.

In Repertoire:
OSLO (play)
Runs 3 hours approximately.
Ends 23rd September 2017.
Audio-Described performances: 22nd September 2017 at 7.30pm; 23rd September
2017 at 2pm (touch tour available).
Oslo: How a pair of Norwegian diplomats brokered a handshake between
Israel and Palestine in Washington in 1993. Bartlett Sher directs this Broadway
transfer of a play by J.T. Rogers.
Jane Eyre: Poverty, injustice and betrayal.
Bronte's classic heroine triumphs in a new version devised by the company. A
return of the 2015 hit production.
Network: TV newscaster Howard is a failure, until his on-screen meltdown
revives his career. Lee Hall adapts the Paddy Chayefsky film for Ivo van Hoe to
Pinocchio: Yep, a new version of the Disney movie about the inflammable
boy who skips off to Pleasure Island with an insect in tow. Give a little
whistle... Martin Lowe adapts, John Tiffany directs.
Oslo: (seen at the afternoon preview performance on 7th September 2017)
Recent history recedes in the mind more quickly than anyone notices. The action
in this play happened a mere 25 or so years ago... yet it is amazing how little
detail the monkey remembers. Fortunately, J.T. Rogers has written what could be
a definitive history – and must surely be a modern classic too.
The opening scenes are deceptively simplistic. Mona Juul (Lydia Leonard)
gives a peach of a performance as a Foreign Minister, breaking the fourth wall
as required to keep us updated on proceedings. Husband Terje (Toby Stephens) is
an Institute director who brings together the PLO and two Israeli Economists, in
secret and against the wishes of his bosses.
The result is the start of a road to peace in a troubled region, and three
hours of utterly gripping drama, leavened with humour (and the oldest Jewish
joke known, plus a couple of good newer ones).
PLO negotiator Ahmed Qurie (Peter Polycarpou) should be duking it out for
Oliviers come the season, his opponents Yair Hirschfeld (Paul Herzberg) and
particularly Uri Savir (Philip Arditti) looking at supporting honours.
Negotiations twist and turn, Toril Grandal's (Geraldine Alexander) cooking
often the only point of agreement. Right to the last moment, nothing and
everything could happen. And continues to do so.
The monkey doesn't mind admitting that it was in tears twice, over two simple
handshakes, such is the tension and cunning of the play's construction. These
gestures, the inellectual chess and comedy fooling, matter equally; always
disconcerting and chewing on the nerves even as the mind spins.
The play never pulls punches – the atrocities on both sides are given equal
airing and video footage, the achievements celebrated equally.
For an insight into politics, history and simple humanity in the face of all
odds, this is compelling enough to be unmissable for anyone in power, with an
interest in global affairs or simply seeking the realist of real life drama.elling enough to be unmissable for anyone in power, with an
interest in global affairs or simply seeking the most real of real life drama.
Jane Eyre: (From the 2015 run). Not available. Planks and ladders and
ensemble playing make this 3 and a quarter hours fly, according to professional
reviewers. Multiple voices deliver internal monologues for Madeleine Worrall's
deeply studied Jane, Felix Hayes is equally praised for his emotional range as
Rochester, and Laura Elphinstone for hers as Helen, Adèle and St John Rivers.
Director Cookson gets plaudits for the constant physical movement and also
keeping the story moving in the adaptation - now a single evening rather than
the original two parts of the previous outside London production. One certainly
for Bronte fans, but should also pick up a lot more theatre goers as well, for
simply being an effective evening of story-telling meeting theatricality.
5 Star, Standing Ovation recommendation.
Network: Not yet available.
Pinocchio: Not yet available.

Times are hard and the Union hopes to rectify this plight by establishing a unified government with the rest of the infinite's races. However, not everyone is interested in the proposal. Now, the plans for a unified government are on the brink of collapse as politicians are assassinated and terrorist attacks commence. Fenix, an Ellite who has watched her people suffer and her father murdered, begins a dangerous game of revenge as she hunts down all those responsible. When her exploits land her in the thick of the terrorist attacks, Adam is forced to hunt her down in order to protect someone from his past. Battle lines are soon drawn, allegiances are called into question, and Adam's former masters are converging…

The word 'slog' has become more popular recently with the introduction of 50 overs and twenty overs cricket, I mean shorter versions of the game.It actually refers to the slog overs played in both shorter formats of the game.In the case of 50 overs format, the last ten overs are referred to as slog overs, whereas in the Twenty twenty cricket, the last five overs are referred to as slog overs.
However, the slog overs are the most testing time for a bowler, but the most opportune time for a batsman.In fact,a slog over bowled to a top ranking and attacking player like Virat Kohli is a nightmare for any bowler, since he is not sure where his ball will go, whether it will be hit for a four or a whopping six.Again a slog over being smacked away all along the ground, it will bound to affect the bowling analysis and ultimately the bowling economy rate of a bowler.For example, in a fifty overs game of cricket, a bowler is allotted a maximum of ten overs to bowl, say in two or three spells, if he is a strike bowler.After bowling four and three overs in his first and second spells, a bowler has conceded only 28 runs and the bowler's economy rate until then is only 4 runs per over.In the remaining three, that he bowls during the slog overs, the bowler is hit for a volley of fours and sixes by the batsmen thereby milking as many as 36 runs, at an average of 12 runs per over.Due to the smacking that he received in the slog overs, the bowlers economy rate will now turn into 64/10 i.e 6.4.Thus a bowler's economy rate increased through his bowling in slog overs may even create an impact on his selection for the next match.
On the other hand, if a bowler holds his nerve and really bowls well in the slog overs, taking wickets and restricting the scoring rate of the batsman that helps to win the match for his team, may even be hailed as the hero qualifying him to win the man of the match award and he becomes an automatic choice for the selection in the next match.
Thus slog overs in cricket, in shorter versions of the game, changes the course of the cricket match and in turn it affects the prospects of a bowler or a batsman, not only for that particular match but also for the succeeding cricket matches.Therefore, slog overs may even be called as dangerous overs.
The word slog also refers to a long tiring walk and also a laborious work.

In general the master station of WAMS system in China is only connected with the PMU with the dispatching of jurisdiction and its monitoring range is only restricted to the directly acquired data, so it is hard to acquaint with dynamic characteristics of power grid in global scope. Meanwhile, there are such troubles as inconsistent data models, insufficient interconnected master stations and less data exchange in traditional interconnection scheme of WAMS. To effectively cope with these troubles, based on the basic platform of technical support system for smart grid dispatching a requester-oriented dynamic data interconnected service architecture is designed, and a neotype interconnection scheme for WAMS dynamic data of trans-dispatching center is researched. Based on existing unique identification method for grid equipments and unified naming method for grid equipments, a modeling approach suitable for WAMS data model is proposed. Besides, the API access interface for real-time data and historical data is expanded to make it supporting the exchange visiting. In the meantime, the technique and protocol for dynamic data compression and transmission are discussed. Finally, the engineering application and performance evaluation test are performed to validate the designed scheme, and the results show that the proposed scheme is feasible.

The current situation and problems of network modeling of power control and dispatching centers are analyzed. According to the characteristics and reality of Central China Power Grid, a distributed network modeling and real-time data sharing scheme is designed. In this scheme the principle of implementing distributed network modeling and data acquisition in accordance with the dispatching scope is put forward. On the basis of the standardization of the naming of various power equipments, the model merging is done first and then the total network model. The scheme also gives a detailed description of the model merging process, optimization of CIM and real-time data sharing method. © 2011 State Grid Electric Power Research Institute Press.

Offline power system model management technologies is increasingly matured and widely applied in intelligent dispatching systems, however due to following reasons: what the model merging depends too much on the topology of equipment leads to amplify the errors in source model files and the version management technique is imperfect, some of key technologies still need to be improved. The features in maintenance and management of offline power system model for intelligent dispatching are analyzed and a better model merging strategy is proposed. According to boundary characteristics of substations in the model, model splitting and merging are analyzed and handled with by two kinds of granularities: the boundary substations is handled with based on the granularity of equipment topology and other substations based on the granularity of the substation granularity. Such a model splitting/merging strategy simplifies the operation process and improves the quality of the merged model. Based on IEC 61970, the version management of multidimensional model is researched and basic functional modules are defined and the implementation of modules is given. The version management of multidimensional model can meet the demands on management of common information model (CIM) and applied privacy models.

On New Year's Eve we spent the evening with the family at my daughter's house, but we actually slept at my in-law's home. Our son Jon and his family stayed there with us as well. They of course had their children with them – Corban, 4 (on December 26) and Marissa 2. When we left my daughter's house the kids were sleeping and slept the whole ride home and did not even wake up when we got to the house. Jon and Rachel put the kids to bed in the guest room that was set up for them. A couple hours later in the dark of the night we heard Corban calling out to his dad (a few times), "Daddy, Daddy, where are you? I'm here in the room." The kids had never spent the night there and so were not familiar with their surroundings – I was so pleased that he did not cry because it told me that he was secure - he knew that his dad was within the sound of his voice. I am sure he must have been at least a little afraid; it was dark, he didn't know where he was, and he couldn't see where his parents were. As I thought of my precious little grandson, the Lord gave me the following thoughts.
I started thinking about the times we find ourselves in places we've never been before. Maybe you've found yourself in a situation that you never thought you would experience – a place where all you can see is darkness with no idea how you got there or where you'll end up. I recall a few times like that in my life – like when I was at the hospital listening to the doctor telling me there was a "mass" that had overtaken my daughter's kidney; or the time our family was in the waiting room after my brother's surgery and the doctor came out and told us that my brother's cancer was inoperable – times like that are numbing, frightening, and lonely; and if you've ever been "there" you know how helpless that feels.
I am reminded of the song "Lean on Me" that says, "when you get to the place that I'm all you have, then you'll find I'm all you need;" not only a great song, but a tremendous truth. It is during those times that we realize we really are children, and truly what a wonderful realization that becomes. We all have times that we wish we could return to the simplicity of childhood – and I am here to remind you that we can live that simply every day!
Here are a few thoughts to consider...
"But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them." Mark 9:14-16 God wants us to come to Him as children, calling out KNOWING that He will hear, and will come and help – just like my grandson called his dad.
"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:4
So the next time you feel lost and alone, in the dark and frightened – call unto your Heavenly Father- He will come to you, He will help you, and He will comfort you! "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3
Remember you are not alone! "…lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." –Jesus (Matthew 28:20).
You don't have to be in the dark. "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12
Don't be afraid. "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32
It is my prayer that this simple reminder will help you to remember it's okay to be a child, in fact it's a good thing. Have a wonderful day!

AT&T's Seth Not Real. So What?
So, it appears that Seth, AT&T's blogger guy, works for its PR agency Fleishman Hillard (sorry, but I think he comes off like a douche in the video). The question was posed on Twitter by Todd Defren about whether AT&T should have disclosed that Seth works for FH.
From a consumer's point of view, that's not really the point. For all intents and purposes Seth works for AT&T. By putting him out there as the mouth piece of AT&T, he is AT&T, so to speak. Sure, he's a 'blogger' but do we expect anything impartial from he if he works for AT&T or its PR agency? I think Todd's question in some ways has more to do with the flaws (and insecurities) of the PR industry more than what matters to customers
The more important point to me is that AT&T is still missing the real opportunity. All they've done is more of the same, just a different wrapper. A different channel for the same old message and business practices.

This hotel looks fab. Beautifully built. Our room was spacious, clean and had direct access to the pool. Breakfast was nice. The best thing however is the bar which serves amazing cocktails on the terrace and the tapas restaurant, which served some of the best tapas and wine I have ever experienced. We stayed one night, 2 would have been good to enjoy the pool and the grounds. I would not stay any longer however as its far from SJ central. This is a good location when flying in/out of CR.

On Thursday at the centre, the chaplain rang a bell at 9 pm for evening prayers even though only one of the seafarers present was a Christian. All the rest were Hindus. Our family joined in the chapel so we could experience this devotional time and to show the young man that he was not alone in his faith.
Here is part of the liturgy that was used:
"O God, I ask you to take me into your care and protection, along with all those who sail in ships. make me alert and wise in my duties. Make me faithful in the time of routine, and prompt to decide, and courageous to act in any time of crisis. Protect me from the dangers and perils of the sea. And even in the storm, grant that there may be peace and calm within my heart. When I am far from home, and far from loved ones, and far from the country which I know, help me to be quite sure that wherever I am, I can never be beyond your love and care. Keep me true to my loved ones and help them to be true to me. And every time we have to part, bring us together in safety and happiness again at the end of my contract. This I ask for your love's sake. Amen"
So often we take for granted that there will be products on the shelves at all our favourite stores. While many of these goods are produced locally, a good deal are imported and come by the cheapest transportation method possible, cargo ships. Really, this is nothing new, as I learned from an exhibit at a Montreal museum about the trade in tea from the 1600's onward. We do well to remember the individuals who leave their families for extended periods of time to make things possible in our global economy.
