Billy on behalf of all fans in the UK please please come back and put on an even better tour than the last. I went twice in the last 2 weeks of the tour and it wasn't enough! So come on put a smile back on peoples faces over here and announce a tour!!
come on billy you have to come back to the UK
last time you were here you went to glasgow and my mam and dad didn't take me so i want to go by myself and get my own back and see the best live performer around today. Sing us some songs piano man.
In echoing these sentiments, I would just like to add that Liverpool (ahem, home of The Beatles) has a new Arena and Conference Centre (ACC Liverpool aka Echo Arena) which can accommodate 11,000.
So, if Mr Joel ever wanted to play in the home city of The Beatles to a big audience, he can now do so.
Unsubtly yours,
The new Billy Joel Elton John 2010 Face to Face tour dates are being posted on the Elton John fan website. 14 July Pittsburg 21 and 24 July Boston see www.eltonfan.net
I agree - wholeheartedly! there are so few artists out there with the ability to inspire passion and love for music like Billy Joel. I have loved your music for over 20 years, since I was a teenager and saw you for the first time at your last UK Tour. Your command of the audience was jaw-dropping. You had us in the palm of your hand - what a lovely place to be!! please please tour the UK & Ireland again, you are very much missed.
A UK tour would be great, make sure if you do come, stop by Scotland.
Thanks to Jools from April for ticketmaster advice, I'll check that out --
Come on Billy, you need to come back to the UK. I've seen you several times and had tickets for your last tour with Elton when you got sick and had to cancel. Please come back to London so that we can see what we mised.
yes you should really come back to the uk because we all want to see you because you are amazing its not like there isnt enough people to buy tickets and elton goes over to america and you are much better than him so please please please please please please come back
yes i would really love it if billy came to the uk becuase i am a 14 year old boy who has loved him for two years now and has all most all of his albums and special editions and have wanted to see him live more than anything
I'm a huge fan Billy, have been since i was a small child
Grew up listening to Piano Man and New York State of Mind...gotta thank my parents for getting me into your music.
Saw your gig last time you played in Glasgow in Scotland and on The River Of Dreams tour.
Please please please please please please!! Come back to Scotland and play again....
"Sing us a song you're the piano man sing us a song tonight, cause we're all in the mood for a melody and you've got us feelin alright"
I think that says it best
I've seen Billy in the UK every tour since 1988 and each time he gets better so, come on back Billy, Elton goes over to the USA regularly, so how about a bit of reciprocation?
If you click on the Ticketmaster icon on this page it will take you to the Ticketmaster site where you can find a button that you can use to request an artist to come to a city near you. A couple of us have requested BJ in London. I don't know if it will do any good, but it's worth a try.
"It's about joy that comes out of sorrow"
Hi Billy, on reading the other messages, I see it's not just me...most of the UK is desperate for you to come back. I've grown up on the stranger album but I've not seen you live, I know there are many other ordinary fans like me who'd love that chance too. I hope you'll come to the UK and to Glasgow. Thank you. (Mama Leoni, left a note on the door, saying...'Billy, come out, to our country!')
Uk tour is a must. I went to Sheffield and it was the best experience ever.
I agree please come back to the UK. The last tour was totally brilliant!

The Spice Girls prepare for the Olympic closing ceremony! Scream!
It's the reunion of the year! Yes, we're talking about the Spice Girls doing a one-off performance for the London 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. Since Friday, we've been teased with pictures of them rehearsing on top of black London cabs.
The pics also showed the girls walking down the stage with Posh in her usual skyscraper heels - which only heightened our anticipation. What would the evening be with out her in her trademark heels? We're also hoping Geri Halliwell is going to be patriotic and wear that sequined dress emblazoned with the Union Jack.
Before it all kicks off though (at 9pm UK time on BBC1), here's what the girls themselves have been saying on Twitter.
Victoria Beckham Twitter
Victoria Beckham Tweeted a picture early this morning with the message: "Good morning London! X vb". Just a few hours ago she again Tweeted saying: "Behind every success is effort, behind every effort is passion, behind every passion is someone with the courage to try x vb". Oh, we're welling up already and they aren't even on stage yet!
Mel B (aka Scary Spice), has us guessing our socks off as she posted a pic (below) showing a glimpse of two shoes, saying: "Ummmm hanging with my home girl." Who is she talking about? Geri Halliwell? Emma Bunton? Come on Mel B, we're dying over here!
Mel B Twitter
Geri Halliwell Tweeted her two cents worth saying: "Are you ready?.....#spicegirls." Yes, Geri, we are!
Now, all we're left wondering is just what they'll be singing. Until we find out though, join us as we croon: "Yo! I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. So tell me what you want, what you really, really want...".
Feast your eyes Posh's other half, aka David Beckham taking in the Games alongside Boris Johnson.
What can we expect from the closing ceremony?
Why dont they spoil the whole olympic feel good factor our superb atheletes have given this country, by putting the Spice hags on and fcuk the whole thing up.
They were no good in the nineties, how are they going to be any good nearly twenty years on.
If we are really lucky they will not be able to stop themselves falling out between themselves and just not show up. The same as their reunion gigs,tours and one off performances.
If they are the best the UK has to offer best we all emigrate - jeeezus - what rubbish - Victoria mimes as usual - incredible - her miming takes less time than her make-up - stupid. Perhaps they could perform with Macca ha ha ha!
Hope Kate Bush does appear and does the re-worked 'Running up that Hill' - so appropriate and no fecking miming from her...
And no-one has mentioned Phil Collins - he should be there....
bloody hell fancy having the finishing ceremony with the spice girls, my god they could of got better than them has beens.. lets just hope we get remembered for the great & fantastic show we opened with & not the 1 we close with,, should of just invited the sporty spice she was the only 1 that could sing anyway...

Shout Factory / 1966 / 100 min. / NR
In the world of kaiju (Japanese giant monster) movies, Gamera burst onto the scene in 1965's GAMERA, the first kaiju produced by Daiei Studios. Daiei created Gamera - the monster and the film series - in a bid to rival the popular GODZILLA series, begun in the 1950's by Toho Studios. The second film in the series, GAMERA VS. BARUGON, marked the giant, flying turtle's first appearance in color and was graced with a much more generous budget than the initial adventure. It's also the second Gamera DVD release from Shout Factory, which obtained the home video rights to the series.
Aside from childhood TV viewings of Godzilla movies, as well as Toho's MOTHRA (loved those tiny, singing twin girls), I never paid a great deal of attention to the genre. Endlessly parodied for their guy-in-a-suit monsters destroying detailed, miniature Japanese cities while the films' actors react in disconnected shots, kaiju movies were difficult to invest in, even as a kid. While appreciating the artistry that went into the miniatures and enjoying the various permutations of destruction, the monsters in these movies were always so cheesy and fake, that after a quick laugh, it was hard to stay too engaged. Even after realizing the movies are a metaphor for the horrific devastation the Japanese endured in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb attacks (the monsters' generation almost always involves some kind of radiation exposure), the silliness factor prevailed. While GAMERA VS. BARUGON lands right in that same wheelhouse, there is also something more interesting going on in this film.
After a relatively cool opening in which Gamera escapes from the Z Plan space capsule that's encased him (her?) since the end of the first film, destroying a dam to ingest life-giving energy, the first part of the movie is actually a fun, 60's-era, boys adventure flick. Using set pieces and plot devices that have been movie staples from TARZAN to INDIANA JONES, the story involves three guys who venture to a South Seas island to retrieve a valuable opal, hidden in a cave by the older brother of the young "hero" when he was taken prisoner at the end of World War II. Winding up in a native village (populated by Japanese "natives," including a beautiful girl named love this Karen) the guys ignore the chief's warnings and take off into the jungle, headed for the dreaded "Valley of Rainbows" to retrieve the rare jewel. Facing quicksand, bats, deadly scorpions and a double-crossing member of the team, they recover the opal. But as the greedy bad guy makes off with it, we eventually discover it's not really an opal, but an egg holding the malevolent, giant frost-shooting lizard, Barugon. Back in civilization, a little infrared radiation is all it takes to set the gargantuan, reptilian Mr. Freeze on its inevitable path of destruction.
Watching the first half of GAMERA VS. BARUGON was like a nostalgic trip back to the days when adventure movies were crafted from matte paintings, "exotic" studio locales and practical effects, and CGI was an unknown acronym. Once Barugon is set loose on Kyoto and the orgy of damage begins, the movie delivers diminishing returns. The monster is so goofy looking, with its 30-foot-long, ice-shooting tongue, and the destruction so repetitive (including the increasingly annoying "shriek" sound effect) , that even Gamera's re-appearance to take care of the monstrous rival doesn't generate much interest.
Now, I know there are aficionados who love these kaiju movies and appreciate the subtleties of the form. For me, I was having a lot more fun before the marauding monsters took over.
The HD anamorphic widescreen transfer is impressive with color and contrast preserving its mid-60's cinematic aesthetic. Sound appears to be mono, but it's all fine.
Audio commentary with August Ragone and Jason Varney lacks spontaneity and seems to pretty much be read. Apparently, these guys are stone-cold experts in Japanese monster movies. While their commentary does contain interesting tidbits, too much of it involves listing previous credits of actors and crew.
Publicity Galleries of the movie's posters and artwork.
The original movie program.
If you're a fan of Japanese monster movies, GAMERA VS. BARUGON is highly recommended. If you're a fan of Saturday afternoon adventure fare, then check out the first half and see how long you last for the monster clash. In any case, Shout Factory deserves a big shout out for its sterling presentation of this genre material.

This was a tremendous disappointment. The first 3rd was sooooo promising. But this book reminded me so much of MAD MAX:BEYOND THUNDERDOME. The story shifted too much and the bulk of the book was spent on a group of really mediocre indistinguishable characters. I hold out hope that the proposed 2nd and 3rd books in the trilogy can capitalize on the potential of the beginning of this story. Heartbreaking.
This is so much better. Mayberry is quickly becoming my go-to author. These books are wierd...very military meets zombies...but scientifically sound as far as explaining the zombification as a genetic mutation/plague. Overall, it makes you wonder how far governments will go as far as genetic warfare.
And apparently the Joe Ledger books have been optioned for a tv show.
So it is summer so it is time to read some entertaining, if not far fetched stuff. So I just finished while on my fishing trip in Alaska no less:

BOISE -- Idaho's population may be getting back on track after a strange year in 2012 when more people left the state than in previous decades.
KTVB analyzed driver's license data from the Idaho Department of Transportation to look for trends in population in early 2012. That's when the dip was noticed. New data showing all numbers from 2013 was made available Friday, so KTVB looked at the new numbers.
In 2013, driver's license data shows Idaho's numbers began to normalize again, in terms of overall in and outmigration. Below, you can see the totals of people coming in (moving to Idaho) and people going out (moving from Idaho), as well as the net result.
2001 33,109 27,649 5,460
2002 34,757 28,915 5,842
2003 37,344 23,637 13,707
2004 41,535 23,592 17,943
2005 45,820 21,633 24,187
2006 47,217 20,713 26,504
2007 43,623 24,313 19,310
2008 39,846 21,917 17,929
2009 35,164 21,588 13,576
2010 36,287 21,215 15,072
2011 33,886 15,843 18,043
2012 36,930 29,290 7,640
2013 39,804 22,284 17,520
Source: Idaho Department of Transportation, compiled by KTVB in April 2013 and January 2014
As we looked at numbers last year, the Idaho Department of Labor reported 2012 was the first time there had been an outmigration since the 80s and was worried about keeping a labor force to help man an economic recovery.
In addition to looking at the overall numbers, KTVB looked at where people are moving to and from. Over the past ten years, including 2013, most people have left Idaho for other western states. In 2013, the top five states people came from were California, Washington, Oregon, Utah and Arizona.
The graphic below shows the states where people are moving to Idaho from, with the darker the shade indicating more people (mobile viewers can view the graphic in the photo gallery attached to the story).
People who leave Idaho for another state also tend to stay out west. As with all of the last decade, the most overwhelming out-migration in 2013 was to Washington. Utah came in second for 2013. The graphic below shows the trend over the last decade for where people leave Idaho to live (mobile viewers can view the graphic in the photo gallery attached to the story).
More than just the total in and out migration numbers, last year, the Idaho Department of Labor explained officials really look hard at the age of people coming and going.
For example, the 2012 pattern showed a huge decline in people in their 20s and a rise in those over 60. It was dubbed the "silver tsunami," a concern for them because of a decrease in working- aged people and rise in retirement-aged people.
The Idaho Department of Labor told KTVB it is still crunching the 2013 numbers to get its take on the latest population trends. KTVB was able to look at data of the ages of current drivers in Idaho and was able to see there was likely another increase in people over 60, and the number of younger people (from 20s-30s) decreased.

Columbia County Tax Commissioner Kay Allen and her husband County Commissioner Charles Allen have both resigned.In a statement, Allen Cites her husband's prostate cancer and her recent legal battle with the Columbia County Commission as reasons why they are stepping down. In recent weeks, commissioners have accused Kay Allen of wrongfully withholding money from the cities of Harlem and Grovetown but Allen remains it was a misinterpreting of the law and she did nothing wrong.Allen's full statement:
COLUMBIA COUNTY TAX COMMISSIONERMarch 4, 2014My husband Charles and I have had the privilege of calling Columbia County home for all our lives. The people of Columbia County are our friends and neighbors. We are profoundly grateful to them for allowing us to serve in public office for a total of more than forty years.As some of you are aware, Charles was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. We arehopeful about his prognosis, and we intend to fight this disease with everything we have. But in light of his medical condition, we had each intended to make this our last terms in office. Neither of us was planning on running for re-election.We had hoped to complete our terms and our public service to Columbia County and thenstep down into retirement. In recent months, however, a disagreement has arisen about theproper interpretation of a law that, for many years, has allowed the Tax Commissioner to becompensated for collecting municipal taxes for cities in Columbia County. Unfortunately, thatdispute has erupted into a full-scale political and legal battle. It has become clear that continuing to fight that battle would result in significant costs for the citizens of Columbia County, and would be a major distraction from the business of governing for everyone involved.Throughout our terms in public service, we have always tried to give the highest priorityto the needs of our constituents. With that in mind, it is clear to Charles and me that it is not inthe interests of the citizens of Columbia County - or for our family - for this to continue.With that in mind, we have decided to jointly retire from public office. In doing so, wehope to allow the healing process to begin for Columbia County. We hope that our resignationswill allow all of our elected officials to turn their full attention back to serving the County'scitizens. We will be happy to assist in any way we can with the transition to our successors.Throughout these many years in public service, we have had the great pleasure ofworking with some of the finest people and most dedicated public servants in Georgia. We have great respect for all of you, and we thank each of you for being a part of our team and our lives.
To our many supporters who have stood by us through this recent difficult time in our politicalcareers, we will be forever grateful.Thank you again to the people of Columbia County for allowing us to serve them inpublic office for all these many years.CONTACT: Doug Chalmers, Political Law Group, a Chalmers LLC, 770-630-5927,email@example.com.

Electronic discovery has become a massive legal expense and challenge for corporations. Companies are spending billions of dollars on processing and reviewing electronically stored information and in many cases they are doing so reactively and inefficiently. Falcon Discovery is a specialist in e-discovery, providing innovative solutions as a managed in-house service, so its customers can own the technology if they choose. This provides tremendous advantages in enabling customers to reduce costs and maintain control of their data, but it means Falcon Discovery must deliver a robust, high-performance infrastructure that delivers documents when and where the client needs them without any snags or delays. When limitations in previous storage systems were preventing Falcon Discovery from adding a critical new application for a major customer, the company turned to a BlueArc Mercury network storage solution. The result: A positive return on investment in 180 days.

Falcon Discovery is a groundbreaking provider of electronic discovery solutions. Its primary customer base comprises corporate legal departments, but it works with forward-thinking law firms as well. The company was founded in 2006 with the idea that it would create a unique legal discovery and technology management process to tackle the challenge of e-discovery. "We handle virtually every aspect of e-discovery from identification and preservation through collection, review and production and we do that through an onsite or near-site model," says Falcon Discovery founder, President and CEO Don McLaughlin. "The distinction is that we manage e-discovery by integrating our propriety InsideOut™ model with the infrastructure and processes that exist within a company. Another distinction is that we often implement and manage technology that the client owns. The overarching goal is to give the client much better control of the entire e-discovery process, and thereby substantially reduce the costs and risks around e-discovery."
The Challenge
Electronic discovery has become a major expense and headache for businesses. Some industry estimates peg e-discovery as costing up to 80 percent of overall litigation costs. McLaughlin says one of the metrics he's seen is a cost of between $75,000 and $100,000 per witness in a case. "We're seeing billions of dollars spent just on processing and reviewing electronically stored information." The challenge for Falcon Discovery was to come up with a solution that was far less expensive for its clients. "Our model delivers improved results at a fraction of those cost figures," McLaughlin says. McLaughlin is a lawyer by background and had worked in-house at Qwest Communications when he realized that the money Qwest was spending on e-discovery was not sustainable. That's when he came up with the idea for Falcon Discovery's InsideOut™ model and several large clients signed on immediately. "Our clients realize very quickly that they can realize a tremendous return on investment and better results with our InsideOut™ model," McLaughlin says.
But rising costs were just one of the myriad challenges in e-discovery that Falcon Discovery needed to address. In addition, e-discovery puts tremendous pressure on both the capacity and performance capabilities of an organization's storage infrastructure. For one of its largest clients, Falcon Discovery is hosting and managing approximately 35 terabytes of data. And performance is critically important. "When we have a case coming up, there are a lot of deadlines out of our control," says Drew Wright, Systems Administrator at Falcon Discovery. "If a judge needs information by a certain time because a case is going to trial, we have deadlines that are given to us. We can't be delayed—seconds and minutes matter—we have to get that information to attorneys or outside counsel. If we run across technical or performance issues those problems go up the chain. Having a storage solution that is reliable and fast is really key for us."
The Solution
Falcon Discovery turned to a BlueArc networked storage solution to solve specific challenges in performance and flexibility for one of its largest clients. Prior to installing the BlueArc solution the client had been using two disk arrays. "We were having problems with disk I/O and network I/O," Wright recalls. "They were not performance oriented. We were basically using them for file storage. We needed higher performance. Plus, we wanted to lay an application on top of this for a third-party document review platform and we needed a lot of raw storage for that application to run."
Falcon Discovery installed a Mercury 50 with 10 terabytes of storage last year. "It's been all about performance and flexibility," Wright says. "We went with the NAS instead of a SAN because, when you need storage it's available easily. Say user X needs 500 gigabytes—on the Mercury, I can literally, in just a handful of clicks, have 500 gigabytes of storage without having to manage a single server. It gives me flexibility and I have my application running at the same time. Overall speed is another performance plus. We don't have to worry about network or disk I/O issues as we did with the older array."
For this client, Falcon Discovery installed four servers and used the BlueArc for back-end data storage. In addition to improved performance across the board, the BlueArc enabled Falcon Discovery to deploy the document review platform, called Relativity, which has saved the client hundreds of thousands of dollars, Wright says. Relativity is an e-discovery software program by kCura and Falcon Discovery is not only managing the hardware infrastructure, it is managing the entire solution, including all of the software. Falcon Discovery is a pioneer in this endeavor, as it is the first and only known company to have architected, implemented and managed these servers and applications for an in-house legal department.
"My main points with the BlueArc were performance for the dollar plus flexibility," Wright says. "We looked at other products and the BlueArc wasn't lacking in any one piece. Even when it came down to physical space—the others would have taken twice the rack space—and that impacts energy and costs. The BlueArc gives us everything we need—functionality, reliability, flexibility and performance for the price."
The Results
In 2008 one of Falcon Discovery's larger corporate clients spent an average of $42,000 a month on hosting document review and production databases with third-party application service providers (ASPs). In 2009, at Falcon's suggestion, the client invested in a combined document review platform, which included the BlueArc Mercury 50 as the back-end storage device. Even including the cost of servers, applications licensing and administration, the client saw a positive ROI within 180 days of implementation. The client is now able to host its own data easily, as well as process documents for legal review in-house, saving tens of thousands of dollars monthly.
For a managed services firm such as Falcon Discovery, the beauty of delivering that kind of staggering ROI for one client means that the process is replicable for other clients as well. That is the thinking behind the company's innovative InsideOut™ model, which was designed to give legal departments a streamlined in-house e-discovery capability that can be repeated across virtually all legal matters. "There is an increasing awareness in legal departments that engaging different third parties and law firms to manage e-discovery for every case is just not cost effective," McLaughlin says. "There are risks and inefficiencies in moving electronic documents around to different law firms and service providers for each matter. What we've done is built a model premised on keeping the data within the company's control. By doing that, we reduce costs in orders of magnitude and reduce unnecessary risks as well. The company licenses or buys the technology and we manage it for them." Having the BlueArc as part of the solution has enabled Falcon Discovery to roll out InsideOut™ with the confidence that it can deliver a robust solution for clients of any size.
The Conclusion
Falcon Discovery is a pioneer in providing managed e-discovery solutions for clients. Because of McLaughlin's background as a lawyer and businessman, the company has put together an impressive team of attorneys and technologists who truly understand the challenges of e-discovery. Being a leader means staying ahead of the curve in solving problems for customers and having the right technology infrastructure and process is often a key differentiator. "Our charter is to find the most cost-efficient solutions for our clients and BlueArc fits right in there in the biggest way," McLaughlin says. "We looked across the industry for storage for the needs of legal. These can be quite unique because high availability is critical, speed is critical and cost-effectiveness is critical. BlueArc fit the bill. We're all about finding solutions for clients and really canvassing the industry and constantly benchmarking products. The ROI picture is what we're looking for and BlueArc has delivered."

Smooth pebbles clicked and slid under Cale's careful footsteps. Every fibre of his body sung with excited energy and he would be running had he not twisted his ankle earlier doing just that. He grinned in the torchlight watching the shadows glide effortlessly across the polished stone walls. They seemed to be carved right out of the mountain itself and were struck through with veins of pale blue and brilliant sparkling white. The floor on the other hand was not local stone: onyx black pebbles worn perfectly smooth like tumbled river rocks that even beyond the reach of the torch glistened like tiny stars.
Cale twisted around and winked at his companion, "Still think this is just some old cave?"
Fergus sighed and shook his head, "Then it will be people rather than bears that live down here, and they still won't be happy. It's rude to –"
"Think of the treasures we'll find!" the hazel eyed adventurer clearly wasn't paying any attention, "you'll be thanking me that I made you come!"

Nestling in central Japan, Kanazawa is a beautiful city to visit, since it faces mountains on the one side and the wondrous Sea of Japan on the other. It also has some fantastic sights to see, with the Kenrokuen Gardens being one of the best in Japan, certainly amongst the top three. The Kanawaza Castle Park is a real testament to Japanese splendor and tranquillity. The shopping is also fabulous here and if you can, invest in some handicrafts. Or just take a trip around some of the historic houses in the city and enjoy the wonderful ambience of this very cultured and refined destination.
But because this is such a busy city, make sure that you book your hotel room in Kanawaza before you visit, by using EasyToBook.com, where all your needs are catered for: great if you are looking for a cheap hotel so that all your money can be spent shopping!
Please provide this reference number to our customer service center representative on request, so we can help you better

True Grit... new version.
Temple Grandin. This is the story of an autistic child that was encouraged to be all that she could be. Clair Danes transformation as Temple is extraordinary. An excellent film all the way around.

Up in the Air. Interesting story about firing and getting fired in the new age.

[QUOTE=26667;646703]"The King's Speech" Brilliant in every way.[/QUOTE]
I agree it was excellent.
We've seen several recent movies (crap television down here) on our winter trip. Totally agree with "True Grit" and King's Speech", but a couple of others we enjoyed were, "Company Men" (Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones), and "Barney's Version" (Paul Giamatti, Dustin Hoffman).
Now showing on my TV is "Shogun". I'm watching it for the fourth time. It is a four disc set and was a gift from my daughters. I love this mini series... On the to do list ASAP is "The King's Speech" as well as "True Grit". My health is keeping me at home right now but soon I hope.....
watched 'the verdict' last night with paul newman.
newman was in the film, he didn't watch it with me, as if...
good movie
Since "Shogun" was mentioned, I'll add that the book is excellent - it's long, but a very good read. There is abundant history and culture packed into a fast-moving, fast-reading story.
I recently saw The Eagle. My initial intent was to see where it was filmed since I traveled in Scotland.
At first, I thought it would be another mindless Gladiator film but it was far from it. It was about honor and friendship, and the two young actors did an incredible performance with Donald Sutherland doing a supporting role. Many dark and gloomy scenes, and senseless violence one would expect from that sort of movie. But honor was always in the light.
What freaked me out the most was that evening I was watching the History Channel and they were telling about the Roman problems against the Caledonians.....the painted people. With that information the movie became real.
I want to give a :thumb to the movie "Red" starring Bruce Willis. I went with my 15 y.o. son and not a lot of expectations. It was entertaining, funny, and not at all what I expected. We both thought John Malkovich's character Marvin stole the show. Suspend some disbelief and have a good time.
My wife and I just saw [B][I]Unknown[/I][/B] with Liam Neeson. We were both very disappointed. The plot is very clever, but there are holes you can ride an LT through and surprisingly, the acting isn't very good, especially towards the end. Movies are personal. I have a friend who liked it, but we sure didn't.
two motorcycle movies are
Wild Hogs
One Week
just entertaining, not academy award winners by any means
An Irish movie, I personally really liked, is called Once, great music, great character development, a lovely story really.
Just watched The Seven Samurai. Japanese and excellent!

Been testing out these products amongst others on and off since before NYFW. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised! Here are my thoughts:
- Olay Fresheffects BB Cream - $14.99 - I have learned by now not to expect too much from Western BB Creams, so I went into it thinking it would be a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen or a tinted sunscreen and I wasn't surprised. It's a little bit of both, and doesn't provide any coverage. I was a lil concerned it'd be too dark for me (I'm super pale) but since it provides zero coverage that's not a problem. I mean, it's not really a BB cream. It also looks a bit glowy in pictures even after powder. However, I got a lot of compliments on my skin while wearing this and concealer alone so maybe that is a good thing? I am not quite sold.
- Olay Fresheffects Makeup Removal Clothes - $4.99 - I really really like these. I stopped using makeup removing clothes awhile ago because they add up especially if you wear makeup frequently like I do. However these are super moisturizing and remove everything well with minimal effort. You still need to use a qtip for eye makeup but it's pretty sweet. I still prefer using cleansing oils instead but when I'm too tired I am so happy to have these around.
- Olay Fresheffects Moisturizing Lotion - $14.99 - Hands down my favorite product out of the bunch, it was instantly love. SO smooth, it felt practically like a primer. It is my favorite moisturizer I have tried in awhile.

According to recent star news, SEAN KINGSTON is being sued for $5 million over an alleged gang rape incident back in 2010.
Just a few months after getting sued for allegedly beating a woman and for trashing his rented Hollywood mansion, Sean Kingston is facing yet another lawsuit—which concerns a crime that dates back to 2010.
According to the lawsuit, Kingston, his bodyguard, and a member of his band gang raped a female fan named Carissa Capeloto, who was then underage, in the singer's hotel room in Seattle in July, 2010.
Capeloto is claiming that she was forced to have sex with the three men while under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.
TMZ reports:
"Capeloto — who has sued all 3 men — alleges she'd been invited to Kingston's hotel room for a meet-and-greet following a Bieber concert — where Kingston had also performed — but when she showed up … Kingston was waiting naked on his bed… [She] claims the bodyguard picked her up and placed her on top of Kingston, and all three of the men proceeded to gang rape her while she was "obviously intoxicated, incapable of consent.""
The site continues:
"Capeloto says her friend later entered the room and rescued her. The police were called and Capeloto was taken to the hospital where she says she was treated for physical injuries consistent with rape."
Though criminal charges were filed right after the alleged rape took place, they were dropped because the police decided that the victim was not credible enough to launch a case against Kingston.
Three years later, Capeloto is again pursuing the case—but this time, instead of criminal charges, she is simply suing the "Beautiful Girls" singer for no less than $5 million because, as she claims, her "life has been ruined" by the rape.
Kingston, meanwhile, has filed legal documents claiming that his sexual encounter with Capeloto in 2010 was completely consensual.
Stay tuned.

Westridge Vacation Rentals with Air Conditioning(65)

Recent Westridge Reviews
Perfect Vacation Rental
We stayed at this home for 9 days and it was truly a great experience. As a mother of 5, I was very skeptical but it actually worked out perfectly. My older kids slept in the 2 bedrooms in the back and my baby slept in a pack n play in the front bedroom which was close to the master bedroom. The pool was absolutely amazing and the highlight of the entire trip. The spa was also really nice and I loved the soaker tub in the master bathroom. The area was quiet and peaceful and there was a full grocery store a few minutes away. Any issues we had were taken care of immediately and professionally. We would definitely consider coming back again next year.
Great Rental Property!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this rental. It is well maintained and close enough to all the local attractions. My kids enjoyed the pool and the community tennis courts. The home is well maintained and updated. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. He was quick to repair a minor problem, the pool light, so my kids could enjoy night swimming. We have stayed at other rental properties within the area in the past, but we loved this home so much that it will be our pick for all future vacations in the area.
Best Family Vacation Ever!
We have rented several times via VRBO and the Kylemore Villa has been our best vacation rental ever! The property has all the comforts of home and more...ie GPS for guests use. We utilized both the pool and jaccuzzi every day/night of our vacation stay. John and Caroline are wonderful property owners and even emailed to check in on us during our stay. The property management company responded immediately when I called to let them know the pool light was burned out, and it was replaced early the next day. The game room was a blast...almost every morning I awoke to find my husband and son already playing either pool or ping pong. The kitchen was very well supplied. All of the bedrooms were well decorated, spacious and comfortable. We also appreciated the use of the sand buckets at Sanibel Island for shelling. Prior to our departure flight, we were already planning a return holiday at the Kylemore Villa. The memories of our vacation will be treasured for a lifetime.

The oldest, most valuable whisky ever produced in Glengoyne's 175-year history, this 40yo was distilled in November 1968 and has spent over four decades in a sherry butt before bottling into a beautiful Glencairn crystal decanter. A smash hit at The Whisky Show 2009.
Aged in sherry butts, which is a departure from some of the older Glengoyne vintage samples I currently have which show more American Oak (ex-bourbon) characteristics. This is a very fruity, spicy, textural dram, with spiced apple, red raspberry, strawberry, plum, golden raisin, fried plantain, and crème brulee. Good grip on the finish, with grape stems and warming spice (cinnamon, cracked peppercorn, and clove). I love the balance on this whisky. It has aged very gracefully. (Limited to 250 bottles worldwide.)
Advanced Malt Advocate magazine rating: 94 points
Nose: what strikes first here is the big freshness and the rather magnificent whirls of notes of sultanas, figs, dates and dried bananas. It's rather less 'polished and smooth' than expected, and more nervous and fruity at first nosing. Develops more classically, though, on whiffs of cigar box, dried mushrooms (ceps), wax polish, mint flavoured tea, also earl grey, marzipan and a mildly invading sherry. Hints of crème brûlée topped with fresh ripe strawberries. It's all superbly balanced but as often with very old whiskies, the verdict should lie on the palate, not on the nose.
Mouth: nervous but less so than on the nose, starting more on heather honey and bananas flambéed as well as a little coconut liqueur. Less sherried than on the nose for sure. Develops on many fresh and dried fruits, figs first, with the oak starting to talk after a few seconds. Liquorice sticks and cinnamon. Finally apple pie (with cinnamon!), plum pudding and just a little apricot and strawberry jam. Extremely lively and fresh after all these years, not an old whisky that you 'must' like just because it's old and 'decanterised'.
Finish: drier, rather long, with more tannins and cocoa now but nothing drying. Always that fresh fruitiness in the background.
Comments: superb old Glengoyne, very complex and magnificently balanced. SGP:640 - 91 points.
For the first time in its 175 year history, Glengoyne Distillery is releasing its oldest, most valuable and finest Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky: the Glengoyne 40 Years Old. This remarkable whisky has been a huge favourite with connoisseurs and won the top prize for 'Dram of the Festival' at The Whisky Show 2010.
The quintessential expression of Glengoyne's famously unpeated single malt, this natural strength limited edition 40 year-old is displayed in an elegant Glencairn crystal decanter, housed in a solid oak presentation box and accompanied by a traditionally bound book, signed by the Distillery Manager.
Individually numbered, the elegant hand blown decanter is produced by the independent Scottish family business Glencairn Crystal and features an engraving of the award-winning distillery.

My hand is a dolphin is a phrase that refers to a movement of the hand in an up and down waving fashion, akin to the swimming of a dolphin. Usually seen in on Youtube comments, this is inferring that the move is awkward or lame, like "white people can't dance".
The phrase came from Brock's Dub[1], a parody of Rebecca Black's Friday. As one of Rebecca's friends was waving her hand up and down, Brock dubbed it with the phrase "MY HAND IS A DOLPHIN!"
As the video's popularity grew, Brock Baker, the original creator of the video, went on the sell T-shirts bearing the phrase[2], as well as "Get the F*ck Over Here" and "Everybody's Russian," two other catchphrases from the video.
A little more than a month after his original video, Brock dubbed a video of babies talking to each other, and included "my hand is a dolphin" calling it an internet meme. It can be heard at 0:45 seconds in.
Notable Examples
Search Interest
Overall interest peaked at the end of March and the beginning of April, a few weeks after Brock first uploaded the video.
Google search trends show that "My Hand is a Dolphin" shockingly eclipsed the search values for "Rage Guy" for a short period of time when Brock's Dub was at the height of its popularity.

Does God Send Natural Disasters as Judgment?
- Tuesday, February 18, 2014
Editor's Note: Pastor Roger Barrier's "Ask Roger" column regularly appears at Preach It, Teach It. Every week at Crosswalk, Dr. Barrier puts nearly 40 years of experience in the pastorate to work answering questions of doctrine or practice for laypeople, or giving advice on church leadership issues. Email him your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Roger,
The Bible has a lot to say about natural disasters linked to God's judgment. Insurance claims even use the term, "Acts of God" to describe natural disasters as if He was to blame. Is He? Is it possible to know whether or not God is using a certain natural disaster to judge someone? Please enlighten me.
Sincerely, Christy
Dear Christy,
A huge hurricane was bearing down on Virginia Beach, Virginia. Destruction was predicted to be in the billion dollar range. On the airwaves, Pat Robertson was pleading for God to perform a miracle and turn the hurricane away from his home and his international 700 Club headquarters. He encouraged 700 Club members to join him in his prayer for deliverance from the approaching bad weather.
Several days later, the hurricane changed course more to the north. I watched as Pat gave praise and glory to God for answering their prayers and diverting the disaster! The hurricane continued to move up the Eastern Coast of the United States finally slaughtering Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine with torrential rains, floods, destruction and overall mayhem.
I was confused. Was this God's judgment on New England for turning so dramatically away from its spiritual roots of Christianity over the past several centuries?
Did God really answer the Club's prayers and redirect the storm or was it just the normal cycles of hurricane patterns that occur naturally over time? Pat was so excited.
I wondered if the problem was that New England didn't have as many people to pray as did the international 700 Club.
I wondered about the ethics and personal spiritually that could be glad that the hurricane missed the Beach but then brought such pain and suffering to others.
Can natural disasters be God's judgment for a nation's sin (or an individual person's sin)? The answer to that is simple: yes, God does sometimes uses nature to punish sin. In 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 God proclaims how He sometimes deals with sin.
13 "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Let's think for a moment about the United States. Does the U.S. stand under God's hand of judgment? No doubt. America is no longer a God-fearing nation. It is trending toward a secular country. Sin is everywhere. Think about lying. Lying starts at the top and flows to the bottom. The president lies; Congress lies, the common people lie.
Mrs. Billy Graham said: "If God doesn't bring judgment upon America He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah."
So, we hear about global warming, about PAX storms which blow frigid arctic weather, paralyzing the entire eastern half of our nation with snow and ice. Tornadoes are roaring though Tornado Alley at an increasingly prodigious rate. The western half of the United States is experiencing a decade-long drought. California is out of water. Many say, "These are God's judgments on a sinful society."
