Paris - Humans may be evolving a third as slowly as commonly thought, according to an investigation into genetic changes in two generations of families.The genetic code comprises six billion nucleotides, or building blocks of DNA, half of which come from each parent.Until now, the conventional theory among scientists was that parents each contribute between 100 and 200 changes in these nucleotides.But the new study says that far fewer changes occur. Each parent hands on 30 on average."In principle, evolution is happening a third as slowly as previous thought," said Philip Awadalla of the University of Montreal, who led the study by the CARTaGENE group.New groundThe discovery came from a painstaking look at the genomes of two families, each comprising a mother, a father and their child.The study breaks new ground although its sample size is very small.If confirmed on a wider scale, it will have a bearing on the chronology of evolution. It would change the way we calculate the number of generations that separate Homo sapiens from a primate forebear who is also the ancestor of the apes.The study also challenged thinking about whether DNA changes are more likely to be handed on by the father or by the mother.The mainstream notion is that DNA changes - known in scientific terms as mutations - are likelier to be transmitted by the man.This is because mutations occur during cell division and DNA replication, and thus are much likelier to happen in sperm, for which many millions are made, than in eggs.In one of the families, 92% of the changes were derived from the father.But in the other family, only 36% of the mutations came from the paternal side."The mutation rate is extremely variable from individual to individual or... some people have mechanisms that reduce the likelihood of mutations," concluded Awadalla.This variability could prompt a rethink on predicting the risk of inherited disease, caused by flawed genes bequeathed by one or both parents.Some individuals might be at risk of misdiagnosis of a genetic disease if they have a higher natural mutation rate than the benchmark rate, he suggested.
And in South Africa...?
Here evolution hasn't started yet.
@Dave : ha ha ha ha. made my morning.
Name me one thing that's not slower in South Afrca.
If you consider how we treat each other and the planet - one could hardly say we're evolving!
True, if we go by the comments in the 'Slut-Walk' thread, we definitely have a long way to go.
And even more so, based on the 'mob murder' thread.
Ha Ha! Jokes on everyone! Evolution does not exist!
if it doesn't exist then why would you click on a story about it - haha jokes on you!!!
That's right Gazelle, we were all made from magic pixie dust by the Grand Oompah-Loompah 6347 years ago
If evolution did not exists, we all would be as primitive as Juju, the headboy of the ANC's kiddie klub.
You will never get a straight forward answer to any straight forward question from a Creationist. The fairy tale they punt is based 100% on lies and deceit. The belief they espouse is pathetic and patently false superstition which supersedes the evidence and the informed evaluation of virtually all the scientists in the world
It is crazier to believe that everything needs a creator except the creator himself.
Evolution-biggest lie ever told! It does noy exist
Try reading beyond the creationist websites and you might be in for a surprise.
I am with you Frederick777 - Propaganda and lies started with Darwin and continued into our learning systems. People are just so enthralled by this fantasy that they can not even consider that there is even the slightest possibility that this is not true! I know it is not true!
@Gazelle - please tell us how you know evolution is not true.
@ Gazelle and Frederick777 - But let me guess, you see perfect truth in a myth which tells how a talking snake told a naked lady to eat an apple, prompting god to evict her and her hubby from his garden, forcing god to impregnate his own mother and come down to earth as his own son to vicariously redeem us for a sin he himself seemingly entrapped Eve into committing in the first place.
Bulls&*t baffles Common Sense. You just have to sound very clever to get people to believe in an unproven theory. Yes the keyword is believe. Evolutionists require much more faith than creationistm.
Im sure frederick, scientist have been using all their free time for the last 150 years to make up lies. ag please!! Are these not the same people that supply you with meds when you get sick and fix you when you get injured?? The process of evolution was revealed by carefully following the scientific method. A disbelief in evolution implies disbelief in the scientific method. The scientific method works, whether you believe it or not!!! Look around, you are surrounded by products of science 24/7; yet you go to church and thank god for everything. It's easy to denounce science when you know nothing about it.
@barkers - so tell us why it's a lie
@Johan - here we go again. Scientific theories are never "proven".
OK barkers, can you please provide me with an alternate theory? Remember now, you have to provide EVIDENCE. Obviously you can show me the evidence in the comments section, a link to a peer reviewed journal would suffice.
@ barkers - Your 'Trust me I'm a doctor' speech might work on the candy-stripers (or porters, if you swing that way) at your hospital when you are enticing them into the broom closet, but you'll have to try a little harder here.
Enlighten us, barkers. Was it god or the shape-shifting reptilian slave mongers that planted us here on earth in our present form?
@Barker... WhoopeeDoo... so you are a Doctor... very impressive... You hold a doctorate in what exactly???? If you are a practising Medical Doctor, I am pretty damn glad that you are not my GP!
@ barkers - I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but I'm calling you out on this - I personally do not believe a medical professional, at least one who takes their role seriously, would go around using the mere fact (or lie) of their job-title as leverage in an argument, where the presentation of solid evidence is the obvious, and only, alternative.
Your post lacks the maturity to convince me (and probably a few others on this forum) that it's coming from a true doctor - medical or scientific.
genetic data on hemoglobin (red blood cells).
Hemoglobin has two chains, called alpha and beta. A minimum of 120 mutations would be required to convert alpha to beta. At least 34 of those changes require changeovers in 2 or 3 nucleotides. Yet, if a single nucleotide change occurs through mutation, the result ruins the blood and kills the organism!... The only thing Darwinism proves is that plants and animals can procreate!
computer generated genetic algorithms, have just proved evolution wrong.. good for industrial applications... ends there. Do you people even know how complex a structure such as a protein is ??
@ barkers - that's a little more like it, a little. But please point us to peer-reviewed research on this concept.
Nobody denies that proteins and heamoglobin are immensely compex but there is no reason to believe they could not have evolved rather than being created as is. Maybe it has not been fully understood yet, but what about the rest of the evidence regarding DNA similarities and even similarities in body structures / fossil evidence which indicate a clear heirarchy / phylogenetic tree.
@barkers - The idea of a single mutation in hemoglobin being fatal is outright false. Many non-deleterious mutations in hemoglobin and even observed several beneficial mutations (such as increasing oxygen affinity) have been observed.
Barkers, IF you were a real medical doctor and didn't just cut and paste that from a creationist website, you would have spelt the word Haemoglobin and not the Americanised, Hemoglobin... I am call you a fake!
Barkers, also, you did a nice cut and paste job from this website (http://www.charlesdarwin.me/the-late-1960s)... verbatim...
Medical doctor my arse...
Barkers... and this one http://www.pathlights.com/ce_encyclopedia/Encyclopedia/20hist12.htm
@barkers, that sounds quite interesting. Can you please provide me with a link or the title of the journal article; I would very much like to read it. I do not know an enormous amount about hemoglobin, but enough to query the above mentioned study. In what organism did they attempt to convert the alpha unit to a beta unit? I they attempted to do this with any higher organism then I would object to the study. The ancestor of the alpha and beta unit must have arisen in a very primitive vertebrate, so if the study was done in a higher vertebrate then study is inaccurate. Furthermore, the alpha and beta unit as we know it in humans must be different in sequence to that of the ancestral alpha subunit. So, mutating the present beta subunit to the present alpha unit is also inaccurate. Do you c how easily it is to critique a study that isn't constructed very well? Im not saying that is the case in this study as I haven't read the original journal article. Im simply trying to show that there is a lot to consider when constructing a study that is scientifically sound. If you can give a link or a title then I can determine if that applies to this article.
I can c ur disbelief in evolution has been reached by your own inquiry. I respect u for that :) For most people I cant say that.
@Mbossenger, you talk crap... regarding haemoglobin, what is your argument exactly. facts... and I don't want to hear about sickle cell anaemia.
@NuttyZA... Yes a good cut and paste indeed. The difference is I understand what I'm reading and pasting... you don't! as you have no scientific background. Also some of us work!
@Gazelle: Propaganda!? What? What exactly does who gain from this so-called propaganda.
@Epicurius...Try this..The cornerstone of Darwinism is the idea that major (complex) improvements can be built up through many minor improvements; that the new organs and new systems of organs which gave rise to new orders, classes and phyla developed gradually, through many very minor improvements. We should first note that the fossil record does not support this idea, for example, Harvard paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson
"It is a feature of the known fossil record that most taxa appear abruptly. They are not, as a rule, led up to by a sequence of almost imperceptibly changing forerunners such as Darwin believed should be usual in evolution...This phenomenon becomes more universal and more intense as the hierarchy of categories is ascended. Gaps among known species are sporadic and often small. Gaps among known orders, classes and phyla are systematic and almost always large. These peculiarities of the record pose one of the most important theoretical problems in the whole history of life: Is the sudden appearance of higher categories a phenomenon of evolution or of the record only, due to sampling bias and other inadequacies?" .... Please tell us Epicurius??
@barkers - Modiano et al., Nature, 414, 305-308 (2001)
Barker, How do you know what background I do or Do Not Have???
I also work... seems you have as much free time on your hands as myself??
Not too many patients to see????
@MBossenger... nice try, But I knew you were going the sickle cell anaemia / maleria route before you even started.....
Sickle crisis occurs when red cells sickle and clog the arteries to parts of organs. Organs then undergo infarction (death from lack of blood supply). Without medical support the homozygotes are likely to die in young to middle age.
But there is one positive. Heterozygotes in Africa, where malaria is endemic, are more resistant to malaria than people with normal hemoglobin, and the heterozygote genotype may have a survival advantage, but only in those areas. Could this be a limited example of evolutionary progress? Not really. When the mutant sickle gene is latent (i.e., sickling isn't occurring), there is a survival advantage in areas with malaria. But whenever sickling occurs, in the heterozygote or the homozygote, it obstructs blood vessels and causes pain and death to organs.... Evolutionary indeed!! Ha! Ha!
@ barkers - You're talking about the same George Gaylord Simpson who was quoted as saying -
'Man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind.'
'I don't think that evolution is supremely important because it is my specialty; it is my specialty because I think it is supremely important'
Yes, I copy/pasted this from Wikipedia. Don't tell me he also supposedly had a deathbed recantation of his entire life's work - just as creationists claim Darwin did.
What Simpson was pointing out was things he found peculiar about 'Most' taxa. Not all taxa.
How about you explain the recurrent laryngeal nerve to us.
//Bulls&*t baffles Common Sense.//
No its called scientific evidence, and often goes contrary to common sense.
//You just have to sound very clever to get people to believe in an unproven theory.//
Yes creationism fools many people by sounding scientific, except of course its not and has no evidence whatsoever.
//Yes the keyword is believe. Evolutionists require much more faith than creationistm. //
Sorry evolution has evidence, 150 of scientific evidence. You have nothing, whatsoever.
Of course I could be wrong, mind posting some links to scientific journals?
//Yet, if a single nucleotide change occurs through mutation, the result ruins the blood and kills the organism!... //
Except for the serval variants of human alpha hemoglobin found in living humans, plus the difference between human and ape hemoglobin by anywhere from two to eight amino acids which renders your argument completely fail.
How you think this disproves 150 years of evidence is beyond me. Fortunately its not up to me or you, its up to science which has hard evidence. Your conjecture is interesting but the only place the conflict is, is in your head.
Of course science could be completely wrong, you are welcome to link us to credible sources showing evidence for the alternative to evolution.
//@ barkers - You're talking about the same George Gaylord Simpson who was quoted as saying -
'Man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind.' //
Barkers creationist quote mining FAIL!!!
Barkers: most of your Dr Dino posts have been dealt with/answered in previous article forums. And yet you (and TrueBlue&Real)still persist with the same dribble and lame arguments (culled from Hovind's sorry excuse of a website). By misquoting George Gaylord Simpson, you clearly show your misaligned agenda and ignorance. Simpson was talking about the evolutionary theory of "Punctuated Equilibrium". Please stay away from these forums if you are not going to engage honestly. There is a term for people like you: "TROLL".
In the wise words of the movie "Evolution"...ka kaaaaaa..ka kaaaaa!
People have been trying to discredit the Bible and God. Darwin was an atheist and he obviously tried his very best to come up with a story that would make the Biblical Creation a lie. The Devil had his work cut out for him but achieved making this lie believable to the world. When something is being hated THAT much and if an idea is being shot down that much without even looking at the alternative real scientific evidence - then you should ask yourself, why is this being done? Who will it hurt if the Creation is being taught alongside the Evolution theory? Ask yourself - have you got the chance to hear the evidence brought forward by Creationist Scientists? Do yourself a favour, because how can you make an educated decision when you have not heard both sides of the story?
Darwin followed the evidence. If there was evidence of your god's existence, you wouldn't need faith to believe it. You'd just need common sense.
You mention both sides of the story. One side is the truth. The other is an elaborate lie, crafted by generations of power-mongers to enslave the gullible.
And there's no such thing as Creation Scientists. Just liars trying to twist science into supporting their own personal beliefs. Nothing to do with real science.
There are scientific evidence for Creation - you have just not had the opportunity to hear/see it. Because the power-mongers that you talk about have kept it away from us. -Watch on this documentary on youtube - Expelled: No intellegence allowed - and you will see how society works to keep real evidence from the massas! And yes there are Creation Scientists! There are quite a few!
Your first comment does not make any sense - how much better if you have both evidence AND faith!
@Gazelle - oh dear - Expelled, really? You mean the movie where every one of the so-called expelled people lied?
Sternberg - not employed by the Smithsonian, actually a research associate. Followed incorrect procedures in geeting a paper published.
Crocker - employed on a course by course basis, not fired.
Egnor - publisehd an essay on a blog and was subsequently criticised by members of the medical profession.
Marks - set up a website that made it seem the university he was associated to supported intelligent design. Used university servers to support the web site.
Read more here: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=ben-steins-expelled-review-john-rennie
//and he obviously tried his very best to come up with a story that would make the Biblical Creation a lie//
thats a nice guess, care to address the last 150 years of evidence in favour of evolution, including genetics?
//Ask yourself - have you got the chance to hear the evidence brought forward by Creationist Scientists? Do yourself a favour, because how can you make an educated decision when you have not heard both sides of the story?//
Because an educated guess would revolve around research, peer review, credibility and evidence. Of which creationists have none. Whatsoever. A yes, I have looked.
Really?... REALLY?... How long do you think it takes a creationist to evolve into a realist?
//Because the power-mongers that you talk about have kept it away from us//
So every single scientist working in paleobiology, paleontology, geology, zooology, organic chemistry, ecology, genetics, and molecular biology (to begin with) have been keeping a global conspiracy which in every single scientific paper (millions) reaching the high standards for peer review, providing not only solid justifications from proven concepts within the respective qualifications but also critial evidence, over the last 150 years in across multiple establed respected scientific journals, has deliberately been edited to omit the work of a handful of people who write opinions in which they have no qualification about a predetermined conclusion?
And you wonder why we don't take you seriously!
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"
Hope my re-post makes more sense!
Is it possible that human evolution is only slowing down now as we are at a fairly stable time in our history (stable in terms of living environments, that is)? For the most part humans live a fairly comfortable existence and don't need major genetic adaptations to survive. Could this slow down evolution?
Answers anyone?
That wouldn't necessarily change the number of mutations from one generation to the next.
rantoftheday: "Is it possible that human evolution is slowing down...?"
Who knows? It's not like evolution is a directed process, aiming at a specific goal. Besides, evolution doesn't happen in big leaps from one generation to the next. It takes many generations for evolutionary trends to become apparent. That's many hundreds of years, at very least. Evolutionary change is most easily observable when there's a short time between generation n and generation n+1. Since we only live for 3 or 4 generations each, and the tools we have to measure evolutionary change are relatively new, humans aren't the best guinea pigs for measuring evolutionary change.
So the answer is... maybe. But human evolution is not going to happen in a way that's noticeable, measurable or tangible within our own lifetimes.
Actually, that is an interesting thought ... aren't mutations often a response to changes in the environment? If things do stay fairly stable, and mutations are stimulus-driven it makes sense.
Also, mate selection is no longer as much about physical prowess and hunting/gathering abilities as it used to be.
Evolution is not driven by the environment, but the chance products of evolution that are best suited to the environment will survive and therefore become more common.
Two words for you, rantoftheday:
Genetic drift.
Flamewulf, don't you mean "Punctuated Equilibrium"? Genetic drift can either increase or slow down the mutation rate, depending on the variety within the isolated gene pool and the percentage of dominant and recessive genes.
Loving these evolution vs religion battles
This article is hogwash! Humans evolve much quicker. Especially the last 3 generation are dramaticly stronger and smarter than the previous since humans are forced to adapt and survive in a completely new environment. PS: If you would like to find out more about exponential modern evolution google "The singualrity".
No theUgly, we are mutating faster because with no natural enemies left, there is no way for natural selection to filter out the mutations which doesn't kill us before puberty. If anything, we are devolving. Just look at the comments posted above if you have any doubt...
Nope TheUgly: what you are seeing (compared to previous human generations) are better expressed phenotypes due to a modern lifestyle (medication, nutrition, etc.). An example: the genotype for height can only be properly expressed if there is the correct diet and stimulus (sunlight, exercise, no hormonal diseases, etc.).

Shroud of the Avatar - D&D #1 Contest
Richard Garriott is holding a new contest for Shroud of the Avatar.
D&D #1 represents one of the earliest known computer role playing games. Originally created and refined between the years 1975 – 1977, this game is one of the few true founding efforts of the entire computer gaming genre. Interestingly the ascii based "tile graphics" are a clear forerunner of what followed in Ultima and many other computer role playing games, and thus remains relevant to the genre's history.
Richard has been eager to see this simple BASIC program, resurrected in a modern usable form, but remaining true to the original in as many ways as possible.
To achieve this end, Richard is offering a bounty of Shroud of the Avatar pledge rewards for the best reincarnations of D&D #1!
Starting April 15th 2014, just past one year into the development of Shroud of the Avatar, and running for 1 month through May 15th, Richard via Portalarium will be accepting submissions of D&D1 Resurrections in each of two versions. Submissions may be a Unity Version, and or a no-plug-in Browser Version. Winners will be announced shortly after the submission deadline.
Information aboutShroud of the Avatar
SP/MP: Single + MP
Setting: Fantasy
Genre: MMORPG
Platform: PC
Release: In development

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'DVD' started by Louis Letizia, Jul 6, 2012.
Funny how the tv remake with Katherine Hepburn made it first.
Ain't that the truth! And as much as I admire Katharine Hepburn and George Cukor, I do think the Davis version is superior even if it's a bit stagy.
Some others:
Meet the Applegates (1989)
Multiple Maniacs (1970)
Mondo Trash (1969) - Though I understand there are copyright issues with the soundtrack. John Waters' never bothered to get the rights.
Bad (1977) - I know there is a R1 & R2 copies but these appear to be cut video masters.
The Unholly Rollers (1972)
The Crowd (1928) - No doubt will make it's way to through the Archive program sooner or later.
Greed (1924) - See The Crowd
The Wind (1928) - See The Crowd
The Scarlet Letter (1926) - See The Crowd
When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder? (1979)
Surprised that no one has mentioned DeMille's Samson And Delilah yet.
That's a perennial in these discussions. It's understood to be missed.
Over a year ago, a friend who's at Paramount told me that they were working of SAMSON AND DELILAH and that a release was imminent. I'm hopeful we will see it in the fall or in time for the holidays and in a BD version, as well.
So sad..... Where are these??????
Looking For Mr. Goodbar (1977)
Ode to Billy Joe (1976)
Only When I laugh (1981)
Night of the Juggler (1980)
Last Summer (1969)
Norman....Is That You? (1976)
The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1977)
Staircase (1969)
Terrorvision (1986)
The House by the Lake (1976)
The People Next Door (1970)
Ruby in Paradise (1993)
Rapa Nui (1994)
Kafka (1991)
I would love to see these released!!!!!
LAST SUMMER id probably coming via WA..although I wish this Allied Artist treasure would have gotten a pressed disc release like they are doing for END OF THE ROAD.
ODE TO BILLY JOE was announced....and even had cover art on Amazon...but never materialized. Amazon Instant has this for download.
I'm surprised ONLY WHRN I LAUGH wasn't apart of Columbia's last wave which included
CHAPTER TWO...but I'm sure its destined soon enough.
GOODBARS wait may be a good omen
NIGHT OF THD JUGGLER who has rights....loved this
THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR is with
Lionsgate....that ends that!
I'm sure MGM will get around to SUNDOWN and HOUSE BY THE LAKE for mod
NORMAN? Resides with WB....one of the few of the 70s films left to release.
Not certain...but isn't RAPA NUI on WA?
Will probably wait and see if the director's cut of Until the End of the World (1991) gets a Blu-ray release. Thanks for replying back to my question.
The Earthling (1980) could use a nice DVD.
TCM has aired a letterboxed version of THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN and is scheduled to do so again at 2:15 a.m. ET on Sept. 22.
In the good old days MGMidnite Movie line would have put out a double feature of THE EVICTORS and THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN..2 period pieces. WITHOUT WARNING and INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN as well. THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE with WINDOWS.JENNIFER with THE RAGE
I would love that line to return...in Bluray
Here is a few off the top of my head:
92 in the Shade
Come Back to the Five and Dime
Diary of a Mad Housewife
End of the Road
It Conquered the World
Last Summer
Love Streams
Nothing But the Best
Play it as it Lays
Sammy & Rosie Get Laid
Seven Women
That Cold Day in the Park
Tiger Makes Out, The
Trap, the
Unearthly Stranger
Unman, Wittering & Zigo
View From a Bridge
Where Were You When the Lights Went Out
Good list! Always thought it strange that WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT? Never made thecut Ibm Days boxed sets.
UNMAN is on Amazon Instant.
Lets hope LAST SUMMER makes it to the archives.
END OF THE ROAD is coming in September as a pressed disc release!
Is it a certainty that COME BACK TO 5.....resides with Paramount?
1492 has been released on DVD all over the world but the USA, on Blu-ray in France and in September Germany. In the USA it's only release was VHS and Laserdisc back in 1994, a DVD of the film was never released in the USA. In 2004 Paramount announced a DVD release of the film and preorders were taken but it was cancelled and the preorder I had was cancelled, the UPC# issued was 097363274247 but it was never pressed, so none obviously exist.
So yes it is a very strange case of MIA, especially after it was announced for a DVD release and cancelled back in 2004. It's the only Ridley Scott film in the USA that doesn't have a DVD release.
The good news is the film can be imported on DVD and the France Blu-ray looks solid, but it deserves a proper Region 1/Region A release in the USA sometime in the future but I wouldn't count on it. Whoever wants to own the movie will probably have to settle for the hassle of importing the DVD or Blu-ray versions and more than likely you will need a region-free DVD or Blu-ray player. It has been mentioned the German Blu-ray being released in September will be region-free.
Show Boat (1929 and 1936 versions)
Ah part of the 80th Anniversary George Feltenstein box set in Blu Ray & also DVD version celebrating the landmark Broadway show opening of this pleasant night's entertainment. Never did see that one but I do have hidden away in the vaults George telling all who were listening that is was imminent at the time.
It would be nice to get an update on this project and where it is at. I do know that more discs for the 1929 Universal original have been found but not all, I guess and know the nitrate of reel one of the 1951 version was lost in the George Eastman fire which was dubbed from a "safety" for previously releases on disc of that one including the prized Laserdisc box set I have.
I suppose you could say popular in their day. There's a whole slew of British 40's films (most of them!) that were never released on DVD, we really needed a BFI series, I'll just pick one for now:
Hatter's Castle '42 Robert Newton going insane as only he can!
Three 50's British war movies, first two POW movies:
Albert R.N. '53
Danger Within '59 - This is my favorite POW escape film, it shows up every now & again on the telly, but no DVD. I haven't seen Albert R.N. since the 60's, it may be a lost film.
Steel Bayonet - A 50's Hammer war movie, we've had the other two, Camp On Blood Island & Yesterdays Enemy, but this one is a hold out
The Jokers - A Michael Winner comedy with Olly Reed & Michael Crawford, & thinking about it another one, You Must Be Joking. A very good comedy as I remember, that did the rounds supporting Cat Ballou
The Honkers '72 - A really good rodeo film staring James Coburn.
I'm sure I could put a ton of titles if I thought about it. A DVD of these would be fine, but I'm not really interested in a $30-$35 Blu-ray, which I can't afford right now.
I agree that the absence of "Only When I Laugh" is a mystery. A decent critical and commercial success back in 1981, with three Oscar-nominated performances. The film is available on iTunes and VUDU (standard def only).
"Looking for Mr. Goodbar" was available for streaming on Netflix about a year ago; I don't know if it's still available. Ditto "At Long Last Love" --- not exactly "popular" but well-remembered by some and never available on home video in any format, at least in the US.
I would add to the list the television film "Love Among the Ruins." The only teaming of Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier; directed by George Cukor. Highly acclaimed when it aired on ABC in the mid-1970s and the winner of multiple Emmys.
YOU MUST BE JOKING! is available from the MGM Limited Edition Collection.
And, as I always mention in these types of threads:
SPLIT IMAGE (1982) -- Starring Michael O'Keefe, Karen Allen, Peter Fonda, James Woods, Elizabeth Ashley, Brian Dennehy. Still trapped in rights hell, I believe.

text: ne Something just came to mind as I reread your comments. Are you sure that the ok button was executed. When I did my first test conversion this morning, I sat around for a minute or so with no results. Then, using Window Eyes, I used my mouse keys and noticed that it was still seeking an ok for the conversion though I had previously hit the space bar on it. Once I clicked the button with the mouse key, the conversion was finished in a matter of seconds. So look around on your screen and make absolutely certain that it is not looking for a confirmation or something. Petro, however, raises another valid point here, Joanne. If these are going to a data disk, there may be no reason to do the converting unless the recipient is intending to play the files on a stand alone mp3 player. Getting the file to play automatically should be acomplished by making certain that the .ogg file type is assigned to a player that can handle it. in checking my current desktop machine, it has been assigned by the system to Winamp. I was able to play the .ogg file in both WMP10 and Winamp 5.35 without a problem though RP10 didn't like it.

A stochastic collocation method for the second order wave equation with a discontinuous random speed
In this paper we propose and analyze a stochastic collocation method for solving the second order wave equation with a random wave speed and subjected to deterministic boundary and initial conditions. The speed is piecewise smooth in the physical space and depends on a finite number of random variables. The numerical scheme consists of a finite difference or finite element method in the physical space and a collocation in the zeros of suitable tensor product orthogonal polynomials (Gauss points) in the probability space. This approach leads to the solution of uncoupled deterministic problems as in the Monte Carlo method. We consider both full and sparse tensor product spaces of orthogonal polynomials. We provide a rigorous convergence analysis and demonstrate different types of onvergence of the probability error with respect to the number of collocation points for full and sparse tensor product spaces and under some regularity assumptions on the data. In particular, we show that, unlike in elliptic and parabolic problems, the solution to hyperbolic problems is not in general analytic with respect to the random variables. Therefore, the rate of convergence may only be algebraic. An exponential/fast rate of convergence is still possible for some quantities of interest and for the wave solution with particular types of data. We present numerical examples, which confirm the analysis and show that the collocation method is a valid alternative to the more traditional Monte Carlo method for this class of problems.

Jamie Barton – 2015 Richard Tucker Award Winner
Richard Tucker Music Foundation Names American Mezzo-Soprano Jamie Barton as Winner of 2015 Richard Tucker Award
The Richard Tucker Music Foundation is delighted to announce that mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton—whom the New Yorker has praised as "a fresh wonder of the opera world, possessing a voice of preternatural beauty and power"—is the winner of the 2015 Richard Tucker Award. Often referred to as the "Heisman Trophy of Opera," this prestigious honor carries the foundation's most generous cash prize, $50,000, and is conferred annually by a panel of opera industry professionals on an American singer at the threshold of a major international career. Previous winners of the award include such luminaries as Renée Fleming, Lawrence Brownlee, Stephanie Blythe, David Daniels, Angela Meade and Joyce DiDonato.
"I don't think I've ever been as speechless as I was when Barry Tucker called me to give me the news that I'd won the Richard Tucker Award," said Barton on the phone from Houston, where she is currently singing Fricka in Die Walküre with the Houston Grand Opera. "I'm overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude. The Tucker Foundation has been a musical family for me for years now, and to be given its top prize is an absolute honor."
"I first heard Jamie Barton at the 2012 Tucker auditions when she sang 'O mio Fernando' from Donizetti's La Favorita – she gave me goose-bumps," recalled Barry Tucker, president of the Richard Tucker Music Foundation and son of the Brooklyn-born tenor. "When I heard her, I thought to myself: 'This is a once-in-a-generation voice.' We are absolutely elated that she is our 2015 Richard Tucker Award winner."

Real great service
First I had my car hitch installed and they did a great and quick job on short notice. I drove in before the long weekend and needed something done instantly. They bend over backwards to get the parts I needed and did all of that within a short time. Got me in and out real easy and were priced well. Then I had my car under sprayed and will be going back there each time. They told me what I needed to know about the undercoat as it is something I am not used to dealing with. It does drip and you have to be careful but other guys may not have told you that. It does that for only like a day and then hardens. Its kind of cool. So after that experience I recommended them to my friend and she had the same experience. So I am recommending them to you too. Good luck.

Soraka Build Guide by SamuelRyanLilly
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Soraka Build
Ability Sequence
This guide obviously is more for fun since you'll be playing on the Proving Grounds. I round that it works quite well, actually. Unlike on most other maps, Soraka doesn't fall out of the competition on the Proving Grounds. Her ability to sustain, keep allies alive, and harass the enemy team bit by bit is crucial in a map wothout the luxury of healing at the base. You will mold Soraka into the ultimate source of life on your team, and a decent source of pain for your enemies. But beware, though Soraka is powerful and helpful, she cannot escape her fatal squishiness. Don't let the enmeies catch you without a fight, and don't let them kill you without a loss on their side as well. This is how you prove that Soraka is the best damn support you could ask for.
Runes and masteries are your own business to deal with. Build whatever you think is necessary . Honestly, they won't make a world of differece in this case. Since you all start at level three and are constantly teamfighting, you won't get much downtime for regeneration to do a lot of good, and the flat enhancement buffs will quickly fall off or immediately be countered by opposing items since the starting gold and passive gold gain is increased on the Proving Grounds. Also, it's only available for custom matches, so I wouldn't recommend trying to construct a rune or mastery page simply for it unless you plan to play it exclusively. However, if I had to suggest what types of runes and masteries you should get, I'd say go primarily for mana regeneration and health regeneration, secondarily for cooldown reduction, and lastly for a bit of health, armor, and magic resist to stay a little sturdier if you really think you'll need it. However, most of your stats will come from your build, so if anything, try building all of your runes and masteries towards one specific thing, such as ability power, health regen, mana regen, armor, magic resist, health, etc. Doing this will essentially play the role of standing in for one item. That way, it's like you get one free item from the start, plus whatever you can buy. This also helps you ignore that stat for the time being. That's just how I would do it, but like I said, you should just use whatever pre-existing rune and mastery pages you already have.
Skill Sequence
Pretty standard stuff as far as skill sequence goes. Get 1 point in your three main abilities at the start since you get all three poitns immediately. This is so you can feed health to allies, feed mana to allies, silence enemies, and harass enemies as well. Remember that you can hit enemies from a greater distance with infuse than you can with starcall, so don't be a hero under the turret with starcall, but don't waste all of your infuses on the enemy because your team canalways use the mana to spam more.
After that, put a point in your ult every chance you get, max out your heal, then mak out infuse, and lastly max starcall. Remember, your main job is to keep your allies full on health and mana. Reducing enemy magic resist and doing small bits of damage with starcall is secondary to that, although the increasing stacks on starcall's debuff will help your ap carries out quite a bit in fights, even in the early stages of the game.
Summoner Spells
You're all about sustsin, which means you want to give your team all of the health and mana you can possibly give them. So, naturally you'll want to get HEAL and CLARITY. You will most likely find yourself low on mana a time or two, as well as many of your teammates at once sometimes. This is where clarity comes in great handy. Instead of trying to wait for a bunch of infuses for you team, and trying to wait out the mana regen on yourself, simply use clarity for a quick boost. Normally it's not a great spell, but it works wonders on the Proving Grounds. Also, heal is very common for this map anyway. Both of these spells enhance your main goal as well, keep allied health and mana up.
Your build is desinged to do what both your skills and summoner spells already do, keep allied health and mana up. Get BOOTS OF LUCIDITY right off the bat to keep you from getting haraased too much early game as well as to get some nice cooldown right away. Also, you should be able to complete a kindlegem along with it for even more cooldown and a little bit of health. Finish up your SOUL SHROUD to reduce everyone's cooldowns and up their mana regen while giving yourself a nice load of health in the mix. This will aid the mana issues easily and give your team more time to attack since they will be able to spam faster. Then build ZEKE'S HERALD so that every time your team auto attacks they get some health back with that lifesteal, prolonging sustain. Then get WILL OF THE ANCIENTS so that every spell your team casts heals them as well, further prolonging sustain. Next is LOCKET OF THE IRON SOLARI which passively gives an aura of health regen for your entire team, which furthers sustain even more. Also, its active places a weak but useful shield on everyone within range, giving your team an edge in teamfights by redicing a decent amount of damage. Lastly, if you end up getting this far without a victory, finish it up with AEGIS OF THE LEGION to buff your teams armor and magic resist to make them even harder to kill. Also, the little attack damage bonus will couple nicely with Zeke's.
No wards.
No pots.
No gold per 10.
No AP focus.
Build for your whole team, play safe, play smart, and you will easily steamroll your enemies by wearing them down bit by bit while you stay alive.
Pros / Cons
-Great sustain for all
-Wears down enemy team over time
-Mostly eliminates the problem of not having spawn pad healing and relieves need for retreating to pick up health on the sidelines behind your team
-Does not do immense damage alone or fast, needs to wear down enemies over time
-Not very durable, needs to stay in the back when injured or focussed, must play safe
-Relies on team to pick up most of the kills and take most of the damage
This build will create an immense amount of sustain for your team. Lifesteal, spellvamp, health regen, heal summoner spell, and your two healing spells all kep your team's health bars up. Infuse, clarity, and soul shroud buff your team's mana pools. The locket's shield plus the armor and magic resist of aegis make your allies ery durable. Plus, all of these items include other stats to help boost your teammates' capabilities as well as your own. If you want to sustain all day on the PRoving Grounds, this is the way to go. No one else gives you that much power over your enemies. Now go out there and prove to the world that you're the best damn support there ever was.

Math Teacher Institute.
Identity and branding developed for Math Teacher Institute. We were approached by the team of Math Teacher Institute, a digital platform that will provide exceptional online math resources for high school math teachers, to work on their identity.
With the task of creating a visual identity that is appealing for different users and reflects the platform's vast resources, ideas and information we came up with a solution that has the right balance of simplicity and boldness, we played up with some basic geometry to build our mark and vivid and bright color palettes and matched them with a very neatly arranged customized typography that gives it a professional and friendly look.
Thank You!

Make a Donation
The Humane Society of Wayne County is funded only through memberships, fees, donations and fundraisers. The important services that we provide are made possible because of the support that we receive from our members and contributors.
Online Donations
The HSWC is pleased to be able to accept donations through PayPal. Each of the items below links to an account specifically for that fund.
Off-line Donations
We at HSWC recognize that not everyone is interested in making donations from a computer. We now provide access to the same donation structure through a paper form that you may download and mail along with your check. Please use this donation form (pdf) for that purpose.
General Fund
Donations to the general fund are used to offset day-to-day expenses at the shelter. Materials, supplies, utilities, postage. You name it, it's paid for by our general operating budget.
Targeted donations
We have a number of programs whose funds are restricted. Donations to these programs are used exclusively for the program.
Adult Companion Program
To provide pet companionship to older adults, the HSWC matches cats and dogs age 3 and older with county individuals 50 or older. the program pays the adoption fee associated with obtaining a Shelter companion animal. Not only are older adults given the chance to have the companionship of a pet, but a loving home is provided to an older Shelter animal.
Charlie's Fund
In May of 1998, the of Board of Directors approved the creation of Charlie's Fund to help sick and injured animals that are turned over to the shelter. The staff and the board of the Humane Society are very pleased to have this fund to help some of the poor animals brought to our shelter. It is good feeling for everyone to see and animal returned to health and adopted into a loving home.
Charlie's Fund continues, when funds are available, to cover the cost of medical care for many needy animals, and is still funded exclusively by direct donations from generous supporters.
Memorial Contributions
We also get support through memorial contributions. Honoring a loved one in this way. Before proceeding to PayPal, please submit this form. It helps us with our record keeping.
Penny Express
Let's build a gazebo!
Our current Penny Express project is to build a gazebo in the side yard..
There are several ways to donate.
If you'd prefer to donate a portion of the materials price, then you may use PayPal (button below) to donate cash to the fund.
If you're not comfortable with online payments, you may
download the donation form (pdf) and send a
check. Be sure to check
"Penny Express" as the type of donation.
For the young and young at heart, we maintain a railroad crossing bank at the shelter...complete with lights and train whistles. It's actually kind of fun!
Spay/Neuter Incentive Fund (SNIF)
The HSWC assists qualified individuals who cannot afford the full cost of altering their pets. The pet owner, participating veterinarian, and the HSWC each pay one-third of the cost.
Snip & Cut
Each year, the Humane Society of Wayne County (HSWC) receives approximately 1200 animals surrendered by the public. To help reduce the pet overpopulation problem, HSWC is attempting to spay/neuter all age-appropriate animals prior to adoption. As anyone who has had an animal altered realizes, this is a costly endeavor for HSWC. Area vet hospitals generously donate free spays/neuters to HSWC (Lyons Veterinary Clinic-12/year, Newark Veterinary Hospital-12/year, Palmyra Animal Hospital-80/year, and Walworth Animal Hospital-24/year), but this leaves many animals unaltered. HSWC is very fortunate to have two area veterinarians that come to the shelter and alter shelter animals at a reduced rate. Even so, this costs HSWC about $6,000/year, money that comes directly from the shelter's operating budget. Please consider helping HSWC continue to alter shelter animals by making a contribution to our Snip & Cut Fund. All donations to this fund will be used exclusively to spay and neuter shelter animals.
Mutt Strut
We hold our annual walkathon, Mutt Strut in September. While
we encourage people to come out and support us in person, and have
shelter dogs available to walk (for those who don't have a dog or whose
dog isn't properly social). In order to accomodate those who
want to help but cannot join us, please use the PayPal option below.
Proceeds go to the shelter's general operating fund.

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Tri Pointe Homes LLC raised the size of its initial public offering by 17 percent, a day before the homebuilder's IPO is scheduled to price, hoping that a recovering U.S. housing market would generate interest for its shares.
Tri Pointe will now sell 13.7 million shares in the IPO, more than the 11 million shares it was initially planning to offer, the company said in a regulatory filing.
The company still expects to price the shares at between $14 and $16 each, a price range it set earlier this month.
All the additional shares are being sold by the company's majority shareholder and chairman Barry Sternlicht. Following the offering, Sternlicht will retain a 45.4 percent ownership in Tri Pointe, according to the filing.
Sternlicht is also chief executive of private equity firm Starwood Capital Group, a fund that invested $150 million in Tri Pointe in 2010.
The company will be renamed Tri Pointe Homes Inc on completion of the offering, and is scheduled to start trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday under the symbol "TPH".
Citigroup, Deutsche Bank Securities and FBR are the lead underwriters for the offering.

The new model of the PS Vita is being exposed to public scrutiny for the first time at the Sofmap shop in Akihabara, and since a lot of Japanese gamers don't go anywhere without a camera, pictures are starting to surface on the internet.
We need a comparison between the OLED and the LED screen to see how much difference there is. If both are comparable then there's no problem, but if the OLED is markedly better I'm hoping Sony leave both on the market and advertise the 2000 as an entry level handheld. Maybe $150 V $200 would suffice to reflect the difference in quality.
nintendoo look the 2013 -2014 designs and hide your ugly 2ds ho look like part oh mufin or cake
Im kinda tired of re releases of consoles, feels like a waste of your money and never truely want to get them day 1.. Thats how i feel bout my vita ):
I will save money for that model later. First I want my PS4, then I gonna wait for VITA TV and after that I gonna get this as a replacement and keep my current VITA as backup device... and after all that I might consider the X1 or even WiiU XD

The Ukrainian news website, PSB-NEWS, reports on the scandal involving the pro-Russian radio station, Love FM, that has erupted in Finland. Below, an edited translation of the story, which was originally published in Russian on 30 July 2016:
Kremlin Propaganda in Finland Produced in Donetsk
A big scandal has erupted in Finland: A radio station has begun transmitting pro-Kremlin propaganda produced by Finns in Russian-occupied Donetsk and working for the terrorist organisation, "Donetsk People's Republic" (DNR). The radio station has murky ownership, and its source of funding and management structure are opaque.
The Ukrainian website, Mirotvorets (Peacemaker), has dossiers on at least three DNR supporters from Finland: Johan Bäckman, Jaana-Maria Kurtti, and Janus Putkonen. In June 2016, material obtained from an email dump of Yelena Nikitina, so-called "minister of information" of DNR, revealed that a number of Finnish citizens were cooperating with the terrorist group.
One of them is Janus Putkonen, a Finnish "journalist." We learned about him from Ms Nikitina's correspondence with Alla Pierce, a journalist working for the US publication, Veterans Today. You can read more about Ms Pierce here, here, and here, [and more about the antisemitism of Veterans Today here.]
From: firstname.lastname@example.com

Let me warn Janus and give you his email address. If you are interested, do contact him. He will tell about the sources of funding himself if he can. I can only guess. It is not us, for sure. :)))
Janus is director of the DNR-affiliated propaganda agencies, DONi News and DONi Press, which publish regular stories on DNR, help foreign journalists organise trips to occupied Donbass, obtain accreditation, and conduct interviews with local leaders. Janus feels quite at home in occupied Donetsk and is doing everything, as he says, to "bring the voice of the people of Donbass" to the world.
Quoting from an interview with him:
There is a certain selection of media instruments that allow us to correct this situation at least to some extent. I have to say that objectivity or neutraility is not one of them. When you are confronting fascist forces, you cannot remain as impartial as a judge during a court process or a journalist in his comfortable office.
I wanted to become the voice of Donbass and do everything to make sure that a constant stream of news from there was available not only in Russian, but in English as well. When I left Donetsk, I immediately began to look for sponsors and plan how we could fill this enormous information vacuum.
Today, we have a news factory that produces news from Donbass in English seven days a week. Our staff consists nearly equally of local and international journalists. We cooperate closely with the local administration and head of DNR, Alexander Zakharchenko. We have an international press centre, which helps foreign journalists visit Donetsk, obtain accreditation, and see everything that is happening with their own eyes.
We are now establishing our own network of connections and independent journalists throughout Europe.
Janus has online profiles on Facebook and on "Russian Facebook" VK.com. He even has his own personal email on the server of the so-called "ministry of information" of the DNR terrorist organisation: firstname.lastname@example.com. Janus takes part in propaganda actions, for instance on the International Children's Day. (The cult of victims is one of the methods by which the terrorists wage their information war.)
A story by a Finnish journalist, [Iltalehti's Nina Leinonen,] recounted how she was deported from Donetsk in August 2015 because her reports from the area were objective. The same has happened with almost all Western journalists. A Ukrainian article on the case describes Janus thus: "The foreign legionnaire and pro-Russian propagandist from Finland, Janus Putkonen, manages the Donbass International News Agency and helps "DNR" filter Western journalists."
This is what [Finnish traitor] Johan Bäckman, adjunct professor at the University of Helsinki, who was trained as a military propagandist and acts as the official (!) representative of DNR's terrorists in Finland, said about Janus at a roundtable discussion, "Struggle for Independence in Donbass," held in occupied Donetsk on 12 May 2016:
We sent our information experts to Donbass, and one of them, Janus Putkonen, is head of the international press centre, DONi. Also, we assisted Finnish volunteers who were now fighting in the ranks of the armies of the Donetsk and Lugansk "People's Republics."
Janus has an assistant in Donetsk, one Jaana-Marika Kurtti (aka "Jaana Koo"). It would be very interesting to know who sponsors this movement of information terrorists. Surely, it would not be very difficult to find out? In her message to Alla Pierce, Yelena Nikitina says that "it is not us," referring to the so-called "ministry of information" of DNR. Who, then?
We now have new information, [published by FINROSFORUM,] about the activities of the Finnish information terrorists, which reveals that the pro-Kremlin propaganda that they produce is being spread in Finland as well. A radio station called Love FM began broadcasting in Finland in July 2016. The station carries mostly harmless pop music, intermixed with short "News from Russia" that repeat the common tropes of Kremlin propaganda: Crimea is part of Russia, Ukraine violates human rights, and Russia is fighting "terrorists" in Syria.
At closer look, however, it seems obvious that Love FM has very much to do with Russia indeed. Apparently, its propaganda "news" are being read by Jaana-Marika Kurtti, who works for the pro-Moscow information war outlet, DONi News, which is based in Russian-occupied Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. The manager of DONi News, long-term anti-Western campaigner Janus Putkonen, promotes the radio station on his Facebook page. Love FM's latest edition of "News from Russia" mentioned a week-long illegal trip of a group of Finnish "tourists" organised by Mr Putkonen and Ms Kurtti to the occupied territories.
Our sources reported that the emergence of the propaganda station led to a major scandal in Finland, rocking the local media establishment. Many journalists began investigating and reporting on the case.
The fact that authorities in an EU member state have issued a license to a radio station that carries Moscow's war propaganda is a scandal. The situation puts a whole new slant on "soft power": Legislation in Finland is too soft to protect our society from Russia's insidious influence operations. Latvia and Lithuania have legislation that prohibits the broadcasting of war propaganda, and regulatory authorities there have often suspended the transmission of Russia's propaganda channels for repeated violations and lies. Maybe it is time we rethink our concept of mental defence and elect decision makers who would act accordingly?
In summary, first the authorities in Finland failed to take decisive measures against its citizens involved in terrorism against Ukraine, and now the threat has spread to their own country. Which was to be expected.

Bradford Corporation – Leyland Panther – NAK 512H – 512
Bradford Corporation Transport
Leyland Panther PSUR1A/1
Marshall B45D
For 1969, Bradford Corporation ordered ten chassis of the rear horizontal engine variety, its first new single deckers since a couple of AEC Reliances in 1958. The ten new chassis were split between AEC's Swift and Leyland's Panther, but, since the chassis design of the two types was virtually identical apart from the engine manufacture and the radiator position – at the rear on the AEC and at the front on the Leyland – the exercise was probably intended to ascertain which power unit was best suited to the challenging Bradford terrain. All ten were equipped with Marshall B45D bodies. Seen above in April 1970 is the last of the batch, No. 512, NAK 512H which was delivered in December 1969. In the event, no further single deckers were to be bought by Bradford before the infliction upon all the West Yorkshire municipalities from 1st April 1974 of the all embracing WYPTE. In this new conglomeration, the five Bradford Panthers were the only examples of their type, and the PTE Director of Engineering, a certain Geoffrey Hilditch, soon sold them all to Chesterfield. A picture of one in service in that town may be seen here (a very long page, but about halfway down – search for Chesterfield in the browser :- www.mikesbuspages.com/municipalbuses.htm
In his book Steel Wheels and Rubber Tyres, GGH says that pictures of the Bradford Panthers in original livery are hard to come by – he should have asked me.

Nice pic!
Stuart Emmet Another story on these 10 was they were bought to start OMO; however double decker OMO was approved legally soon after they were ordered, so they were redundant as far as that went. They spent their time inventing conversions to single decker routes and seemed to settle on the 61 as shown – about a 25-minute journey across town from Undercliffe to St. Enochs that went for around 5 mins over roads in the Canterbury Ave area that were not used by other routes.Effectively a peak hour route every 10 min from 0700 to 0900 and 1600 to 1800 with a few journeys between 1200 & 1400 hours that required 6 buses for the 10-minute headway. The rest of time they seemed to rest/in-filled as spares.

From 1969, BCT participated in White Rose Express service X33, Bradford – Sheffield, which entered its area at Birkenshaw. The other joint operators reluctantly agreed, even though Bradford's entitlement was no more than one journey per week! In practice, as explained to me by the late Stanley King, Bradford saved up their mileage until they were able to operate a bus for a whole week, replacing a Yorkshire Woollen duty.
BCT had few single deckers and I believe these Panthers and the contemporary Swifts were used. Does anyone recall seeing a photo of a Bradford bus on X33, as I've never seen one.

Just about everyone was caught with the change of legislation which allowed DD OMO. Sheffield certainly was – initially with purchase of the Swifts and subsequently with the change of Bristol order from REs to VRs.

In the lovely book Colours of West Yorkshire the author states that these were ordered because agreement could not be reached with the Unions to operate OMO double deckers. I.e. The legislation already permitted it but not the Unions until agreement was reached later on.

The Bradford manager at the time was not in favour of one man buses These and the Swifts were also used on the express X72 which ran between Bradford and Leeds at peak hours.

I recall someone (who I believe was very knowledgeable) telling me that as late as 1981/2 that Bradford area buses of West Yorkshire PTE were around 80% crew operated.

The change in legislation to permit double deck OPO was in 1966, and I doubt that an order for vehicles to be delivered in 1969 had been placed before that date – i.e. the fact that D/D OPO was possible would have been known.
I like to see a clear and readable destination display, but in this case I suspect that a slightly smaller window would have fitted the lines of the vehicle rather better!

Another story was that the unions rejected the DD legislation but SD would be OK It was also said on delivery of these SD's unions OKed the use of DD OMO How far this any of this is fact or fiction seems lost in time.

I started working at Bradford City Transport in the Traffic Office in October 1973. The story of OMO at BCT is intriguing. I cannot comment on the position of General Manager Edward Deakin in relation to OMO, although I could find out as Bob Tidswell his PA is still heal and hearty. I can say that Traffic Superintendent John Hill was not very enthusiastic about OMO, and from all accounts the T&GWU branch was not very keen, either. Around 1971 or 1972 the position of Asst. Traffic Superintendent became vacant and Brian Eastwood, who was Traffic Superintendent at Maidstone Corporation, was appointed to the post. Maidstone had undertaken extensive conversion to OMO and BCT felt that Brian's experience in this regard would be extremely useful. Many years later Brian told me that when he arrived at Forster Square – BCT Head Office – there was little enthusiasm for OMO. Earlier this year I had lunch with Brian and he said that many of the new ideas that he tried to bring to Bradford fell on stony ground. Maidstone had a very large circle OMO sign on the front of their Atlanteans and Brian arranged for one of the signs to be sent to Bradford for evaluation. John Hill rejected the idea. Bob Tidswell once told me that Edward Deakin had a policy of splitting chassis orders between manufacturers – and thus having small batches – on the basis that if one chassis type developed a serious fault then the impact on the operational fleet would be minimised. Some of the single-deckers were allocated to Ludlam Steet and were used on the 272 service to Leeds, the 61 and sometimes other routes operated from the depot, such as Eccleshill, Fagley and Haworth Road. They were used on the White Rose service and at weekends for private hire work at weddings etc. When the PTE was formed John Hill became Metro Bradford District Manager and the position of District Traffic Officer was given to Bert Henry from Leeds City Transport who was very keen to expand OMO across the Bradford route network.

Still trying to get "facts" and the best come across so far, is from the JS King book. The following is a timeline summary:
BCT ordered the Swifts and Panthers (503-512 ) to start OMO and had the unions OK 8 and 10/1969. The Swifts and Panthers arrived but went to work with conductors on 61, 83 and 27-29/32. Cannot find a reason why they were not used for OMO. These buses were also available for breakdown cover for the other operators on the joint with 7 other operators "White Rose" express to Sheffield; BCT having only one journey a week which they "banked" so they could then a bus operate all week.
Mr King notes the SD were already "white elephants", as by now DD OMO was acceptable, so seventy 33 foot DD were ordered, with union acceptance of OMO for these 2 door 33 foot vehicles.
The DD start to arrive (401-470) but unions said no as are too long and the drivers' view of exit door was insufficient. So OMO introduction postponed once again.
SD work on the peak time only Leeds express (272) joint with Leeds CT who operated SD OMO, but BCT used conductors
31 Dec 1972
OMO finally starts using 30 foot DD (315 to 355) on routes 36-38 and 40-42 20 May 1973
OMO starts on joint working with Leeds on the 72 route
This appears is a strange story, that however, shows the management/union environment at the time.

Re Kevin Heys comments. There was a regular evening trip on service 46 to Buttershaw.
OMP operation commenced in Bradford with the conversion of the 72/78 services between Bradford and Leeds which were jointly operated with Leeds City Transport. This started in late May 1973. I cannot recall them being used on White Rose services during my time in Bradford in 1973.

I suspect that when BCT ordered dual doorway buses the 'agreement' with the T&GWU was merely one of outline or agreement in principle to discuss the matter. It would appear that a detailed agreement with signatories was not secured until 1972. The initial conversions at the end of 1972 used single door Fleetlines, but evidently the T&GWU was prepared to allow two-door buses to be used on services to Leeds when these were converted in May 1973. The feeling I detected at Bradford was that neither management nor the T&GWU were keen to pursue OMO. Management believed that OMO made the service worse for passengers, while the T&GWU was against a reduction in potential members and staff – members – losing overtime.

Just a reminder that the 5 Panthers transferred to Calderdale in early PTE days. There was a serious blind spot problem with the blank front corners and all were modified with small corner windows. Memory fails me but I wonder if a serious/fatal accident blamed on lack of visibility occurred. I recall that these weren't bad buses, hadn't done a lot of mileage with Bradford.The biggest problem was (the lack of) pit length and accessibility with 36′ long buses in the Dock Shop at Skircoat Road. They were also a bit limited on allocation because of road/junction/camber problems on many routes. Someone out there will remind me how long they ran in Halifax prior to sale to Chesterfield where they put in a good number of years service.

The first of the Bradford Panthers to arrive in Halifax was 2511 in October 1974, followed by 2508/10/12 in November and 2509 in December – all still in BCT blue and cream livery. They were allocated solely to the 5/6 West End Circular route, which required four vehicles during the daytime just going endlessly round and round, so presumably the fifth one was usually either parked up or 'day in' for maintenance. I don't think the trade union would allow them to be used on any other route – I certainly don't remember seeing them anywhere else.
Unfortunately one of them was involved in a fatal accident when operating a 6 (clockwise) journey and turning right from Heath Road into Free School Lane – just a couple of hundred yards from Skircoat Garage. They had very thick front corner pillars which caused a terrible blind spot for the driver. The bus had begun to take the right turn and was not cutting the corner when a young chap on a moped approached from the right and appeared to stop at the junction with the intention of going straight ahead after the bus had turned. However he must have decided to chance it and accelerated across the front of the bus, but due to the blind spot the driver couldn't see him and a terrible accident ensued in which the lad was killed. The bus driver was shown to have been blameless.
The five were immediately taken off the road and, as Ian says, small (very small) windows were let into the pillars. My records only show that they were withdrawn during 1975, but that they passed to Chesterfield Corporation in the September. They ran them quite successfully until 1985/86 after which they saw even further service with CityBus in Manchester.

Eversheds partner Geoffrey Mead has commented on statistics published by the UK Ministry of Justice, which confirm a sustained reduction in the number of employment tribunal claims lodged since the fees regime was introduced last year.
Mead noted that the figures show a 59 per cent reduction in 'single' claims (those made by a sole employee/worker rather than a group) for January to March 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, and said that from this it is clear the fees regime is having a significant impact on the level of claims.
He said: 'No doubt UNISON, which is pursuing judicial review proceedings against the government, will be hoping to rely on the latest statistics to shore up its case for the fees regime to be quashed.
'UNISON alleges that the fees regime breaches the EU principle of effectiveness [by making it excessively difficult to enforce employment rights] and is indirectly discriminatory. Although the High Court rejected UNISON's arguments following a hearing last year, the union is appealing that decision. Their case failed at first instance largely because the High Court considered it too soon to assess the impact of fees, given that the hearing took place back in early autumn and only a matter of weeks after fees were introduced. Now that further data is available, UNISON is likely to seek permission to rely on it as additional evidence to support its claims.'
Mead added that the judicial review proceedings, while increasing pressure of the government to act, are not the only proceedings the government will be concerned about. Separate proceedings for judicial review are pending in the Scottish court system, but are currently stayed pending the outcome of UNISON's case.
He continued: 'The government has committed to keeping the fees and remission schemes under review. We do not expect any formal appraisal to start in earnest until much later this year. However, the sustained and significant drop in claim numbers will increase the pressure on the government to reconsider the levels at which fees have been set and/or the way the remission scheme operates.
'If, ultimately, there is a change, whether as a result of UNISON's claim or the government's review, it seems most likely that the outcome will be a reduction in the fees payable, or an adjustment of the remission scheme, rather than a wholesale repeal. Eventually, therefore, we may see an increase in the number of claims, although it is unlikely they will reach the levels we have seen in the past.'

Question: Pain Behind Right Collar Bone
|Electrician - Sun Jan 04, 2009 10:28 am
I noticed a pain toward the lower right side of my lower neck after dinking sour lemonade, (each time I drank it). I have stopped drinking it and the pain is getting more severe , even when I sleep at night. The pain was coming and going, but now seems to be more frequent. We checked my B.P. and it has been normal during each time of pain.
|John Kenyon, CNA - Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:50 pm
Hi there -
Either the pain was precipitated by the lemonade (acid reflux can sometimes be felt in this area by referral), or the pain was coincident with the lemonade and that's confusing the issue.
Some important facts would be helpful: Could you please describe the character of this pain? Also, is it possible to cause or worsen the pain by manual pressure on the area or by turning your head or moving the arm on the affected side? Is the pain worsened by taking a deep breath? A "yes" answer to any of these rules out cardiac problems.
Is the pain worsened during exertion? Does it respond to antacid or GERD medications? Knowing these things would also help.
Do you feel any nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath or radiation of the pain down your arm? Sweating? If the answer to any of these is yes, get yourself to an ER at once and don't take any chances. Preferably, if in the US, just dial 9-1-1 and let them do all the work. If none of these things are happening, please get back to us with the other information as soon as you can. This may well be GI in origin, but it can be difficult to tell without knowing the answers to the above questions.
Hope this is helpful and that you're feeling better. Please stay in touch here.
|Electrician - Mon Jan 05, 2009 8:37 am
At night I can fill the pain every time my heart beats, which the last couple of nights have been alittle more intense. Yes, if I breath in deep at night the pain intensifies. During the day it is just a little umcomfortable with a slight headache.
It does seem like a bad case od heartburn or indegestion but at night it is painful.
I have had heartburn from time to time and have been treating it successfully with OTC medication. Just not used to this new pain and the OTC has no affect.
Could of maybe irritated something?
|Electrician - Thu Jan 08, 2009 2:48 pm
Update! I went to the my Primary Doctor, he suspected heartburn and suscribed Nexium. I have taken it for three days now and no more discomfort or pain.
