Fate sometimes acts in mysterious ways, especially for Andrew ('62CBA) and Ellen Murphy '62G, '72GEd. Both alumni of St. John's University, Andrew received his undergraduate degree on the same day that Ellen received her first graduate degree, a reality that would only become apparent nearly 20 years later after the couple had met and were planning to marry. "Although we both went to St. John's and got our degrees on the very same day, we were definitely not your typical college couple," said Ellen.
Andrew and Ellen have fond memories of their days at St. John's, and the bond to alma mater has grown even stronger since the couple has retired, he from accounting and she from teaching. Their membership in The McCallen Society and The Loughlin Society allows them to take part in many events and share good times with other alumni and friends of the University.
"I have always been very happy with the education I received at St. John's," noted Andrew fondly. "It gave me the education I needed to get the job I wanted." Besides being an alumnus, he strengthened his ties to St. John's even further by spending a few years in the classroom as a member of the University's adjunct faculty.
Andrew and Ellen have no children, so when they decided to make plans for their estate they both agreed that they wanted to remember the University that means so much to them. "I was a teacher and always felt that although I didn't have children of my own the children in my classroom were really like mine," remarked Ellen. "I always felt that I would do everything that I could to leave them with an impression that would stay with them forever. I feel the same way about the students at St. John's."
Andrew agreed that sharing their estate with the University was a meaningful way to do something for the young men and women who were just like he and Ellen were during their own student days. It creates a legacy of which they can both be proud.
"When you do something for young people you have a chance to make a lasting difference in our world," he said thoughtfully. "A gift to St. John's really gives us 20,000 children, and makes an impact that will last for generations."

Philly Beer Trip #7: Brewed on Premises
Due to archaic laws and governmental fear of change, America's Best Beer Drinking City only has a handful of breweries and brewpubs in the city limits. This is one of the few areas, beer-wise, where Portland has us beat, but it does have its upside: you can easily visit all of them in a single, beer-soaked day. This particular trip is best done on a Saturday, as it's the only day you can usually get tours and the only day Philadelphia Brewing Company is open. Start there and wind your way west through the city and all the locally-produced beer you can drink.
A. Philadelphia Brewing Company
2439 Amber Street
PBC's tasting room is open from noon to 3pm on Saturdays, so get there when it opens to be sure you're not languishing there all day. This will be the best place to take a brewery tour, as you will get it out of the way, and also have the brewing knowledge in your head for the rest of your trip. Even if you don't take the tour, though, you can hang out in the beautifully refurbished tasting room and get free samples of PBC's year-round beers, their current seasonal, and sometimes their cider. While the next stop is a manageable 1.6 miles walking, save yourself some time by walking to Frankfort and Hagert and catching the 5 bus to 2nd and Fairmount—from there it's a quick jaunt under 95 and across Delaware Ave.
B. Yards Brewing Company
901 N. Delaware Avenue
If you want another—or a first—tour, Yards offers them from 12:30-4pm on Saturdays. If you don't, their tasting room is open from noon to 7pm so you can linger here a little longer at one of the city's greatest beer assets. Be sure to check out some of the specials that you'll generally only find at the brewery, like their bourbon barrel aged beers. Once you're done, the next stop is another manageable walk of 1.2 miles, but if you re-cross Delaware Ave and hop on the Market-Frankford Line at the Spring Garden station, you can take it one stop to 2nd Street and walk a meager two blocks to your next destination.
C. Triumph Brewing Company
117 Chestnut Street
Ready yourself for some more beer, but this time be sure to pair it with food. Triumph has a solid bar selection of a variety of different foods for lunch or dinner, so be sure to start to soak up some of your tastings from PBC and Yards. But, as you do that, be sure to also sample what Triumph has. They usually offer eight or so beers, some of which differ from their other two locations, so be sure to try them all. Once you've had your fill of both food and drink, you can walk the 1.3 miles to Center City or hop on the 21 bus, which will take you all the way down Walnut Street. Hop off at 15th and Walnut and walk the few steps to your next location. If you prefer the train, though, take the Market-Frankford Line down to City Hall.
D. Nodding Head Brewery & Restaurant | On tap now
1516 Sansom Street
You've now come upon the shining jewel of Philadelphia's small brewpub scene. Nodding Head has great beer, great events, and if you go in the summer you'll find one of the country's best Berliner Weisses. If you're only stopping here on a random Saturday, though, be sure to check out some of their standards like the Grog or BPA, and then move on to something more adventurous. Since the next stop is a little outside walking distance at 3.1 miles, go to Market Street and grab the 34 trolley all the way down to 49th and Baltimore, a mere block from our final stop.
E. Dock Street Brewery
701 N. 50th Street
Dock Street's beers are getting better every time they're brewed, so be sure to check out the full spectrum while you're here—the OMG Pale Ale is a standard, and the Man Full of Trouble Porter is one of the best of the style produced in Philadelphia. This would also make a great place to get dinner, as they are well known for their pizza and have a wide variety of other foods on offer as well. Sit back, enjoy the food and enjoy the beer in what will be a great end to a full day.

In regards to your article about brew pubs, what no love for Earth, Bread, and Brew. They got good brews and love there pizza.

I've said many times in many places to many people—if you've been told boys will be boys, you've been lied to. Truth is, boys will be men. And girls, of course, will be women. Parenting with the end in mind is one of Joel's and my favorite topics to address together. We raised our three sons with "the end" in mind and we are very glad we did. If our experiences can be of help to you as you try to build strong Christian adults out of the young people God has put in your life, we would love that.
To that end, Joel and I are excited about addressing the principle of "parenting with the end in mind" with whomever can come this Saturday night, July 21, for a session of "Building Strong Families."
Hosted by Northland's Student Ministries team, and geared toward parents of middle- and high-school students, this 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. gathering includes a light dinner, a game time, our teaching and then break-out discussions by age group. Childcare will be provided during break-out time. As you might imagine, in order to be adequately prepared to host you, registration is required if you plan to attend the gathering, so please sign up at https://northlandchurch.wufoo.com/forms/family-summer-program/
Joel and I are looking forward to the time with everyone!
And FYI, the following Saturday night, Dr. Jim Coffield, an associate professor of counseling and the clinical director of the M.A. in Counseling degree program at Reformed Theological Seminary will address the gathering. Dr. Coffield is a brilliant godly man whom Joel and I dearly love. If you can't make it this Saturday evening, for heaven's sake don't miss the following one! It will be awesome!
See you Saturday night!

Two cars were involved in a crash which caused delays on the B1150 at Beeston St Andrew, near Norwich, just past the rugby club.
It happened at about 3.45pm today, and a Norfolk police spokesman said the accident involved a Skoda Fabia and a Renault Megane.
There are no reported injuries.

I get emails every day from people who are changing their lives for the better by following the guidelines I outline on this site. But many are looking for more of what the Primal Blueprint has to offer. That is to say, they want a comprehensive break down of the elements that make up the Blueprint; a Primal primer if you will. In coming weeks I will be going into detail – anthropological evidence, modern research, etc. – regarding this health philosophy, but I first want to offer up this summary of the Blueprint. I think it is a good starting point for what is to come.
In this extended article you will find the basic building blocks needed to discover the Primal side of your life. What does this mean? It means learning and understanding what it means to be human. It means using this knowledge to help you make important lifestyle choices. It means modeling your life after your ancestors in order to promote optimal health and wellness. And, most importantly, it means taking control of your body and mind.
If this article intrigues you be on the look out for a much more thorough explanation of how we can learn from our past to shape and mold our future.
My basic premise is this: The Primal Blueprint is a set of simple instructions (the blueprint) that allows you to control how your genes express themselves in order to build the strongest, leanest, healthiest body possible, taking clues from evolutionary biology (that's the primal part).
What can we say? We love our vices: those delightful, scrumptious, indulgent little morsels of gratifying transgression. O.K., this isn't really how we look at it, but it's kind of fun (and relatively harmless) to linger for a moment in imagined decadence.
In reality, our vices are simply healthy pleasures, satisfying and rather sensible indulgences. More Tom Hanks than Steve McQueen. More Jane Austen than Candace Bushnell. (Whatever floats your boat – you get our meaning.) The point is, these are vices that come without the guilt. What a deal! 100% satisfaction with no self-imposed penitence. Sign us up!
If you've ever taken an intercontinental flight – or heck, jetted from coast to coast – chances are you're probably no stranger to jet lag. Now, new research from Harvard University suggests that simply changing your meal times can help speed your adjustment to a new time zone.
When we discuss jet lag, what we're really discussing is an interruption in the body's circadian rhythm, that is, the internal master clock that governs our sleeping patterns as well as the precise timing of certain hormone secretions, brain wave patterns, and cellular repair and regeneration. Disruptions to this critical clock – either through frequent travel or shift work – can result in sleep disturbances and reductions in mental acuity in its mildest form, but is also thought to contribute to depression, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
We just can't help it. This epigenetics stuff really floats our boat. The last few weeks we've brought you a Dear Mark primer on gene expression as well as news on recent studies examining the role of lifestyle/environment on genetic expression. Diabetes, heart disease, even lung function are impacted by external factors like nutrition, exercise, and pollution exposure. But mental health is part of the epigenetic picture as well: chronic stress and even early emotional experiences, it turns out, may be significant enough to alter our genes' expression.
Much like was discussed in Fat Loss 101, building muscle is basically a hormonal event. Hormones such as testosterone, insulin, growth hormone and cortisol are giving the body signals on whether to build muscle, or break it down. While exercise is necessary to create a stimulus for certain hormones to be activated, it is also just a small part of the equation. This is why you will see so many people putting in hard effort at the gym day after day, and never really getting any results. So throw away all those books, stop spending $400/month on supplements, cancel your magazine subscription to Muscle Weekly (or one of the other 75+ fitness magazines out there), and master the basics. This is where you get 90%+ of your results from.

It's easy to get distracted during the workday with thoughts of summer activities and excitement that loom outside our office window. We all get caught up in summer's grip and lose sight of responsibilities and customer needs that wait for us at the office.
Here are a few tips to increase employee moral and boost productivity through summers' distraction filled days:
- Offer Summer Hours: Offer employees flex hours or the option to come in early a couple days a week and as a result, leave early. This gives employees a few more hours in the day for whatever summer activities await them.
- Hire An Answering Service: It's tempting to leave the office early or take a long weekend during the summer months. Hiring a 24/7 answering service can bring peace of mind when you are out of the office and relieve employees of basic call taking duties. A good answering service should be able to take messages, transfer live calls, book appointments, and basically act just as your receptionist. Rest assured that when you or your employees are out of the office, customers will still be greeted by a live, friendly professional.
- Summer Competition: A healthy competition to encourage your employees to reach a specific goal or simply infuse fun into the office can make the summer months more interesting and create some diversions from summer distractions. Prizes such as an extra day of PTO or tickets to a summer concert or game will certainly spice up the competition.
- Mix Work and Play: Organize a social outing with co-workers during the summer months. This doesn't have to be elaborate or time consuming. Something as simple as taking your employees out to lunch, organizing an after-work happy hour, or offering late afternoon snacks to beat the afternoon hump can do the trick.
Beating summer's distractions isn't as hard as it sounds. And when it comes down to it, summer IS a time for a little fun. Just remember, summer fun doesn't have to affect productivity in your workplace. With a little flexibility and some outside help, you can fight summer distractions and stay productive.

Scheme cracks down on metal thieves
8:00am Monday 15th October 2012 in News
A KIDDERMINSTER scrap dealers is backing a new scheme aimed at cracking down on metal thefts.
Kidderminster Metals, in Lisle Avenue, is taking seller' thumbprints and registering their details in ab bid to reduce thefts.
Dealers who sign up to the West Mercia scheme will only accept items accompanied with photo ID and a utility bill, which will be logged along with the registration number of their vehicles, and details of metal sold.
Checks on North Worcestershire scrap yards took place last Thursday along with roadside checks on vans and lorries, as part of a national day of action tackling metal theft.
PC Phil Green of the Aggborough, Spennells and Rural East Safer Neighbourhood Team said the sheme would enable police to trace thieves if metal was later found to be stolen.
He added: "Dealers such as Kidderminster Metals have regular dealers that they know and trust, but the thumbprint and registration scheme will help us identify metal thieves who may be just trying their luck.
"Reputable companies like Kidderminster Metals can be of enormous help to us by helping prevent and detect offences, and we are building good working relationships with them.
"The scheme puts a stop to the practice of unscrupulous dealers buying metal on a no questions asked basis, and we hope that by taking away the market for stolen metal, the number of offences will fall."
The crackdown across West Mercia, codenamed Operation Tornado, was funded by British Transport Police.
As part of efforts to tighten up on the scrap industry nationally, changes to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders (LASPO) Act will outlaw all cash transactions at metal recycling yards across England and Wales and there will be a significant increase in fines for those dealers who fail to abide by the rules.

Performing the Walk & Turn on an Imaginary Line
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has standardized three field sobriety tests for use in the investigation of suspected DUI cases, one of them being the "walk & turn" test. The subject of this test is expected to walk 9 paces along a straight line, turn, and return to the point they began.
While field sobriety tests are a useful tool to help officers identify intoxicated drivers, they are by no means infallible. When appropriately administered, the walk and turn test only correctly identifies an intoxicated person 70% of the time, and this number decreases in the shockingly common cases in which the officer requires the subject to walk an "imaginary" line, in direct conflict with NHTSA guidelines.
The Myth of the Imaginary Line
Many officers incorrectly believe that the walk and turn test does not require an actual line in order to be properly administered, and will incorrectly identify suspects as intoxicated based on their poor performance in a non-standard version of the NHTSA approved test. According to the handbook provided to all officers, the walk and turn test requires the following:
- A straight line designated for the test
- A surface which is dry, hard, level, and non-slippery
If the officer fails to administer the test correctly, it will be up to your attorney to set the record straight and effectively demonstrate to a jury the error. Depending upon other issues in your case, this may be sufficient to significantly deflate the prosecution's case.

Brownies Give Back
Many residents of the Inland Empire are feeling the challenges brought on by our current economic state. However, what most of us don't realize is that one in four children residing in the Inland Empire are living in poverty. Over half of our students depend on free lunch programs through the public schools they attend. These programs are crucial to these kids because for many of them, it's the only dependable meal they can expect from day to day.
That's where the Kids Pack program steps up to provide food for homeless and low-income students throughout the Inland Empire. The nutritious foods are discretely distributed to students inside of backpacks so that they can eat over the weekend when they are not in school. Most of these kids don't have regular access to dietary staples, including fresh fruits and vegetables. The effect that this has on the work and attendance of the recipients is clear and far reaching.
In 2011 – 30,000 backpacks of food were given to needy kids, which means that approximately 90,000 meals were provided to 1,011 children. Five area districts and 63 schools participated in the program during the school year from 2010 – 2011. The school districts working with the Kids Pack program in 2012 include:
Chino Valley Unified School District
Fontana Unified School District
Ontario-Montclair School District
Pomona Unified School District
Redlands Unified School District
Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District

What started out as playground insults in primarily urban and inner city neighborhoods has evolved into an entire humor category known as yo mama jokes. Yo mama jokes are targeted at a challenger's mother because family insults are widely considered to be the most offensive in urban culture. While the confrontation may start out with personal insults and slurs, it may devolve quickly into a series of crude insults against each other's mothers: "Yo mama's so fat, she needs a map to find her butt." "Well, yo mama's so ugly, she put the boogie man out of business."
Yo mama jokes are urban variants on a tradition of verbal taunts and insults offered in the form of biting or sarcastic humor. The term "Yo mama" itself is short for "your mama," and is considered to be an example of urban slang known as Ebonics or Black English. Although the deliberate use of black slang may seem racist, many humor collections refer specifically to Yo mama jokes as a recognized category. Part of the humor behind yo mama jokes is the delivery of the punchline in an urban or Ebonic dialect.
Some other yo mama jokes target weight, intelligence or age: "Yo mama's so old, she sat in front of Jesus in the first grade!" "Oh yeah, yo mama's so stupid she took the Pepsi challenge and chose Jif!" "Yo mama's so fat she could be the eighth continent!" Few subjects are considered off-limits when crafting and hurling yo mama jokes, from poverty to personal hygiene. Other relatives may also become the target of insults and slurs, but crude or obscene remarks about one's mother tend to trigger the most emotional responses.
Yo mama jokes are not limited to urban or inner city areas of the United States. Many other cultures have their own form of insult humor, most of which is targeted at a rival's family members or community. "Yo mama" could easily be replaced by "Yo boyfriend" or "Yo family" or "Yo wife." The point of the exercise is to come up with a new insult that is so clever or cutting that the rival can no longer respond in kind.
Post 1 |
At first, I was really offended by "yo mama" jokes. I thought they were cruel and insensitive. Then, the show came out about "yo mama" jokes and I saw that they were really harmless and I learned to accept them. I am going to post a few that I've heard and I hope that no one is offended by them. Yo mama is so fat, people jog around her for exercise. Yo mama is so stupid that she puts lipstick on her heard so that she can make-up her mind. Yo mama is so stupid that when she hears that it's chilly outside, she goes and gets a bowl. Again, I had to learn to accept these "jokes" as just that; jokes. |

Sierra Leone is one of deadliest places in the world for a mother to give birth and it's also the worst place for a child under the age of five to survive. ABC7 traveled more than 8,000 miles to the West African country of Sierra Leone to see firsthand the challenges they're facing and the progress being made.
For children in Sierra Leone, the prick of a needle causes an unpleasant sting, but that prick could also prove life saving.
"Malaria is one of the illnesses I'm struggling with for my kids," mother of three Jenaba Lamay said through a translator.
And she's worried her 22-month-old has it.
With a few drops of blood, clinicians know in a matter of minutes whether the children are in fact fighting malaria -- the leading killer in Sierra Leone. ABC7 watched as seven of eight children tested positive. They'll be sent home with medication.
"We are happy that anytime we're here, they treat our kids, they provide drugs for them, they examine them," mother of two Mosu Jalloh said through a translator.
Health care for children under five and pregnant mothers is now free. It's an investment that's expected to save lives in a country where 20 percent of young children don't survive to their fifth birthday.
Clinics like one in Koribondo show what can be accomplished when different relief organizations collaborate, and partner with the government. World Vision helps with staffing, medications and training for new mothers. Physicians from the group Doctors Without Borders direct everything from vaccinations to deliveries for women who once gave birth at home.
Midwife Lucy Vincent has seen a major change in the last two years, ever since the government issued a mandate for mothers to deliver in clinics. Traditional birth attendants from villages now accompany women in labor and work side by side with midwives.
If there are complications, Doctors Without Borders arranges transfer to the hospital by ambulance.
Dirt roads are typically what run between villages and travel on them can be difficult. It can be hard to imagine being pregnant and having to take such a route to a clinic.
And in fact, many women don't. The latest report by the United Nations Population Fund finds more than 80 percent of women in rural Sierra Leone still give birth at home.
"So in this country, it's really one in eight of women who die in their child bearing years," midwife Jude Holden said.
Holden runs the Aberdeen Women's Clinic in the capitol city of Freetown.
"We have 100 deliveries every month here, and we've had 1,300 since we've opened and we've had two maternal deaths," Holden said.
Replicating that success rate across the country is a long way off, but it starts with training midwifes and best practices.
"We know if you put a baby actually straight onto a mother, the heat from the mothers body, the heart rate and the breathing by the mother settles the baby down and we know and have evidenced from working here that that actually, the chances of the baby surviving are increased if we do good kangaroo nursing," Holden said.
Training new mothers is also critical. Back at the clinic in Koribondo, World Vision teaches moms about the importance of breast milk only for six months -- no food, and especially no water.
Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children, but there is hope, the clinics are crowded with concerned mothers seeking treatment and Lucy Vincent is watching children she delivered eight years ago grow up.

If Farveez Maharoof's back injury during Friday's shocking loss against India in Hobart wasn't concerning enough, two other all-rounders - Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera - broke down during the win against Australia. Mathews suffered a calf injury and Perera hurt his back. It was confirmed on Saturday that Perera has been ruled out for Sunday while Mathews is likely to play as a batsman.
Team balanceAlthough Chamara Kapugedera, a specialist batsman, is due to join the squad just in time for the first final, the balance of the team has certainly gone for a toss. It remains to be seen if skipper Jayawardene, who has been impressive in making optimum use of his resources, can get the best out of the players and pull off another upset at The Gabba.
But it's going to be an uphill task for him. Sri Lanka have already been pushed on the backfoot on a seamer-friendly track where they will be forced to include both their specialist spinners in the eleven. And Michael Clarke's return from injury also tilts the balance in the hosts' favour. With showers forecast during the game, it could turn out to be a shortened game as well.
Raring to goWhile their opponents struggle to get 11 fit players on the park, Australia have a problem of plenty. With Clarke, who missed his third game of the series — available, Australia may have to drop either David Warner or rookie Peter Forrest from the eleven to make sure the combination is not disturbed. Warner has had a topsy-turvy run so far while Forrest has been impressive in his debut series. If Australia decide to retain both the batsmen, then either Dan Christian, who took a hat-trick on Friday, or Clint McKay, the death-overs specialist, will have to carry drinks.
Irrespective of the teams, one things is clear. With three of the four matches between these two inconsistent teams going to the wire, one can be assured the first final will be as entertaining as their league games.

Re: Discussion - February 2011 - 75 Word Challenge
– She didn't! Really this is just turning the noble and respected 75 word challenge into smut, and I'm having nun of it, nun of it you hear! Why this kind of thing is habit forming, it'll grow and I mean biblical proportions. It's just going to make me cross! Soon it'll be all kinds of fallen clergy, coming at us from all angels. A lot of fun, certainly eyebrow raising, and an excellent story too.
– This is one of those where I think I know what's going on, but am prepared to be wrong! In this instance the set up is perfect. You get the impression of an old married couple that have been together forever and the moment has come when one of them must pass on, but... the twist comes when we discover that the main character is not a husband, but rather a guardian... wonderful.
– Something a little different but no less wonderful for it. There are so many ways that this one can tie into the theme that it's quite miraculous. Darla's devotion to her diet, or to her weakness for food, to Linzi's becoming a lifetime on the hips. Really quite simple, but the more you look at it the more clever it becomes.
– Once again a really clever story that starts out misleading you. There was no doubt in my mind as I read through it for the first time that this was another story turning into a smutty piece, but of course I should have known better. There are all kinds of devotion and in this instance it is not to another human, but to a drink, a fluid, for want of another word a drug. I nearly missed the connection to Professor T., but got it in the last moment!
– Yet another great story that could well be seen as tale of twisted devotion. Love of course can be both a wonderful and terrible thing, and we get to see it in this clever little tale. The main character falling in love with someone who he just cannot be with, is nothing new, the absolute devotion he has to the fairy is simply twisted into a devotion of hatred that takes on a truly horrific twist.

Fighting the Effects of Intestinal Worms
Children Without Worms
At least 600 million school-age children around the world are at risk of infection from intestinal worms. They infect nearly one in five around the world and are linked to as many as 135,000 deaths a year. These parasites rob young children of the energy they need to grow and learn and render them susceptible to other, more serious infections. Founded by pharma Johnson & Johnson in 2008, Children Without Worms (CWW) has provided 5 million doses of mebendazole each year in Cambodia - improving the lives of more than 2.5 million children. CWW also partnered with Helen Keller International (HKI)/Cambodia to implement hygiene education and deworming. This combined approach helps prevent re-infection while promoting demand for treatment programs.

The U.K. Industry 2003: Year in Review
While the U.K. visual effects industry has evolved at an astonishing rate over the last five years, few expected 2003 to be such a successful year. Though many had seen 2002s merger between Framestore and CFC as a healthy consolidation, none took any comfort from the closure of The Mills film division. If a facility with credits for such blockbusters as Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, Tomb Raider and Gladiator couldnt make the numbers add up, what chance for the other studios? In fact, the last 12 months has seen the U.K. in ruder health than ever. In both the domestic and international markets, particularly in film, the industry is thriving.
As director of Techimage, the company that supplies high-end software such as RenderMan, 3D Equalizer and Houdini to U.K. studios and was responsible for the successful Pipeline 2003 event, Seamus Morley is ideally placed to view the state of play. It really does feel like these are the good times, he concurs. Both Moving Picture Co. and Framestore CFC have clearly won the confidence of big time producers with the work theyve done so far. And though I think maybe The Mill took its eye off the ball in the commercial arena when it was still doing movies, its certainly come back with a vengeance.
Having laid the groundwork over the last couple of years, Cinesites London division also enjoyed a successful 2003. As well as providing effects for Ella Enchanted, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (LXG) and the upcoming King Arthur and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the facility also expanded by some 40% in a restructuring that saw the addition of a models team and several ex-Mill Film creatives.
This is a very buoyant time for the U.K. film industry, and the large slate of films, U.K. co-produced and U.S. funded, shooting and post producing in the U.K. is indicative of the key position that U.K. visual effects suppliers have earned globally, reckons Colin Brown, chairman of Cinesite Europe.
The aforementioned Moving Picture Co. also stepped up a gear in 2003. Projects completed there in the last few months include Big Fish, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and Ella Enchanted. And having proven its worth, steadily taking on larger chunks of Harry Potter effects work, 2003 saw MPC further strengthen its position with the latest chapter. Work is due to continue into 2004, as is Troy, Wimbledon and Around the World in 80 Days.
Framestore CFC is another studio thats been hard at work on both Troy and Potter (in fact, Industrial Light & Magic is the only non-U.K. studio involved in this project), while also contributing to Cold Mountain, and scoring with some typically accomplished CG creature work for surprise hit Underworld. 2003 also saw Double Negative continue its inexorable rise. In addition, contributions to Cold Mountain, Ella Enchanted and LXG, it has also re-teamed with David Twohy and Peter Chiang, taking on the principal effects work for the hotly tipped Chronicles of Riddick.
So what went right? The general consensus is that the U.K.s time has come. Having courted the U.S. movie industry for the last few years, carefully invested in talent, high-end software solutions (witness the ubiquity of RenderMan) and infrastructure, and taken on ever more demanding projects, the studios are now being awarded major film and broadcast contracts based largely on merit. No longer chosen simply for cost and associated tax breaks, the majors are winning bids that would once have been the preserve of ILM, Digital Domain, Rhythm & Hues, et al.
Two years ago the quality still wasnt there, but 2003 has seen the U.K. producing what can be defined as world class CG, says Morley. And early indications are that, with work on projects like the new Harry Potter and Troy, the U.K. studios are continuing to rise to the challenge.

Heart valve repair is a surgical procedure used to correct a malfunctioning heart valve. Repair usually involves separating the valve leaflets (the one-way "doors" of the heart valve which open and close to pump blood through the heart) or forcing them open with a balloon catheter, a technique known as balloon valvuloplasty.
To correct damage to the mitral, aortic, pulmonary, or tricuspid heart valves caused by a systemic infection, endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, a congenital heart defect, or mitral and/or aortic valve disease. Damaged valves may not open properly (stenosis) or they may not close adequately (valve regurgitation, insufficiency, or incompetence).
Patients who have a diseased heart valve that is badly scarred or calcified may be better candidates for valve replacement surgery.
Heart valve repair is performed in a hospital setting by a cardiac surgeon. During valve repair surgery, the patient's heart is stopped, and his/her blood is circulated outside of the body through an extracorporeal bypass circuit, also called heart-lung machine or just "the pump." The extracorporeal circuit consists of tubing and medical devices that take over the function of the patient's heart and lungs during the procedure. As blood passes through the circuit, carbon dioxide is removed from the bloodstream and replaced with oxygen. The oxygenated blood is then returned to the body. Other components may also be added to the circuit to filter fluids from the blood or concentrate red blood cells.
In cases of valve disease where the leaflets have become fused together, a procedure known as a valvulotomy is performed. In valvulotomy, the leaflets of the valves are surgically separated, or partially resected, with an incision to increase the size of the valve opening. The surgeon may also make adjustments to the chordae, the cord-like tissue that connects the valve leaflets to the ventricle muscles, to improve valve function.
Another valve repair technique, balloon valvuloplasty, is used in patients with pulmonary, aortic, and mitral valve stenosis to force open the valve. Valvuloplasty is similar to a cardiac angioplasty procedure in that it involves the placement of a balloon-tipped catheter into the heart. Once inserted into the valve, the balloon is inflated and the valve dilates, or opens. Valvuloplasty does not require a bypass circuit.

Project - *conversations with Kyle*<br>(CBX WTW book) by drjoes posted 02/17/05 at 08:27 PM Galleries: Scrapbooking I made this a year ago, but it is still one of my favorite things ever. Someone asked me to post it so they could see the rest of the book (you only see one spread in the CBX book). I hope you can read it, because my son is a riot. I recorded all of our conversations over a one week period and then compiled them into this mini album that I made out of chipboard. All products are Chatterbox. All conversations took place with my son at the age of 2 1/2. TFL! |

Polk's PSW111 powered subwoofer delivers huge sound from a small box. The compact enclosure is made from non-resonant MDF with 0.75" internal baffling and bracing for rock solid performance with superlative detail and accuracy. The combination of side-firing driver and down-firing port surrounds the room in sound.
The voice coil of the 8" driver is perfectly centered in its magnetic field for deep bass with no distortion. The built in amplifier has a 100W continuous output with 200W of peak power. An overall 38Hz to 250Hz frequency response is attenuated by an adjustable 80Hz to 200Hz crossover so you can tune the output to match the rest of your speakers.
The back panel has both line level and speaker level inputs so you can use the PSW10 with virtually any amplifier. An LFE input allows the subwoofer to receive a precisely tailored signal. There is also a phase switch for additional fine tuning of the sound. The "auto" selection on the power switch lets the subwoofer turn itself off after 15 minutes of no signal and turn itself back an almost instantaneously, leaving you free to enjoy the music and not worry about turning things on and off.

meh an echo messPros: it's only 8"??? :-/ Cons: It plain out sucks. It's very echoey on hardwood floors. Bought a BIC f12 from a site that starts with an A to replace it and of course for a 12" sub it destroys this tiny thing. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Perfect sub for living roomsPros: Compact size, Very good performance for its size, Powerful 150W amplifier, and connections to support all configurations. Cons: Speaker level terminals could have used binding posts. Other Thoughts: This subwoofer served well for the last 10 months in the living room corner when matched with a pair of Polk RM30 as mains in a stereo setup. Since my amplifier had no bass management, I used the crossover setting on the sub, which worked really well. Its performance for both movies and music is excellent. Its compact size allowed me to place it in many locations and it actually looks nice. Currently, its matched to Def. Tech Mythos Four as mains, and is doing a wonderful job. It provides connections for all types subwoofer configurations. Due to its size, it doesn't go extremely low, and hence may not be the best solution in a dedicated home theater setting. But in a living room, where I listen to both movies and music, and want a decent looking unit, this is the best product I have come across in this price range. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great sound.Pros: Bought this to replace a failed Martin Logan 12" 450W sub. Cons: none Other Thoughts: I bought this based on a recommendation from a colleague. Part of the difference is that the port is down-firing, and makes much better sound echoing off a hard floor that my rear-firing sub did facing painted drywall. Did you find this review helpful? |
DOAPros: DOA Cons: DOA. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Newbie likes it.Pros: So far I like it a lot. It's boosted my living room setup adequately and put some bang into my setup. I'm a newbie when it comes to sound but it performs great and was priced excellently. Cons: So far none. I'm told speakers do not come with wires to connect them into systems, but that would be my only complaint. Other Thoughts: MY 5 egg review should be taken with a grain of salt since this is my first foray into the world of sound outside of a nice headset. However, it's been exactly what I wanted. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent SoundPros: Great sound quality. Cons: No 3.5mm hookup Other Thoughts: This sub has performed well in the short time I've owned it. It sounds wonderful in my 2.1 setup on my PC. Has a surprising amount of power, and hits every note with great precision. I'm not an audiophile but I love this sub so far! Did you find this review helpful? |
Plenty of boom for your buck!Pros: I purchased this sub to supplement my vintage Technics system. Cons: I should have ordered more of these... Other Thoughts: I bought this sub on sale here for $169, and am very pleased with it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent, Compact and PowerfulPros: This Sub is compact, yet delivers a good punch. The construction is very solid, and it has adjustments for output power and frequency cutoff so it can be tuned to fit the other speakers in your system. Wonderful little sub at a very reasonable price. Cons: I struggle to think of any cons; Possibly the small diameter of the legs (tends to leave deep marks in carpet), but this can be worked around fairly easily. Other Thoughts: I love this Sub. I have owned it for three years now and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I paid about $225 for mine, which is still a good deal in my opinion. Recently Newegg had it on sale for $170 shipped; I found myself trying to think up reasons why I needed to buy another one. Did you find this review helpful? |
Amazing Subwoofer!Pros: This sub is super musical. I play up to 80% music and television and then some movies but not too much. I have the polk monitor 50's and this sub blends so well with the speakers you almost cannot tell the bass is coming from the corner like a lot of subs. This sub is distortion free, deep and clean bass it is amazing. The looks are fantastic too with its minimalistic design of the grill and the rounded edges on everything and the bottom firing port as well as the inset woofer are really fantastic. This sub looks like much more expensive subwoofers and sounds like much more expensive subwoofers but at a fraction of the price. Cons: This subwoofer has almost zero cons at all I cannot find anything I do not like about it. This is my favorite sub I have ever had and I have had my share as big as the polk psw505 some klipsches, yamahas etc. The one thing others may find as a con is the low end extension wont go below about 35 hz some might be turned off by this to me I don't mind if in a move it rolls off a bit on the low end, seems to make tv commercials not too boomy either when they get louder. Other Thoughts: Use a good subwoofer cable with this unit. I would not recommend this for floor speakers bigger than the monitor 50s because I think the monitor 60s or 70s with the additional woofers and using a good receiver or amp will be able to play louder and lower than this sub on its own although I did not turn the gain all the way up to see just how loud it gets it will get overwhelmed by the loudness of bigger speakers at high volumes. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pounds the GroundPros: I bought this sub from a different electronics store for a really good deal. I bought a 12" Polk PSW505 from New Egg. This PSW111 sub is really powerful and shakes the ground. Very impressive for an 8". Technology has come a long ways. The bass is definitely tight. I gotta tell you the PSW505 is a lot more powerful and clean but it's bigger and a little more of an eye soar. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I only used this sub for 2 days so I didn't break it in. It may be a monster after a couple weeks. Not sure. Did you find this review helpful? |

More leaders need to use Human Resources as a strategic plant, says Rajeev Pershawaria, author of "Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders." The first step is to choose the right HR leader, someone who can help, as well as challenge. Instead of choosing a comfortable confidante, leaders should look for someone who understands both business and human capital trends, and is able to contribute intelligently to C-suite discussions about business strategy.

John Leonard, who writes or I guess wrote about books as well as anyone I've ever read, the editor of the Times Book Review in the early 70s and a book reviewer for the paper in the late 70s, formerly the literary co-editor of The Nation and still a contributor there and to the New York Review of Books, a commentator on CBS's Sunday Morning, long the TV critic for New York and the book critic for Harper's, died yesterday, and I didn't even know he was sick.
(Though I probably should have, I guess, from the last paragraph of his NYRB review of The Year of Magical Thinking — later reshaped as the introduction to Joan Didion's collected nonfiction.)
John Leonard's "New Books" column in Harper's was a wonder...
He wouldn't so much pass judgement on a book as he would bring it to you, the reader, like it was an overflowing bucket of water sloshing around in his arms. Just lists, lists, lists of all the things that were in the book, like this, from this month's review of A Mercy, by his longtime favorite Toni Morrison:
Mother love: always an absolute in Morrison's fiction, a terrible swift sword. Ancestors: a religion of owls and the African slave trade. The Middle Passage: commodities trading and shark bait. The world of work: caulking and tanneries, milking and manure, squash and chickens. Tables of food: wild plums, pecans, suet pudding, baskets of strawberries, haunches of venison, roast swan. Out-of-doors: "trees taller than a cathedral," "birds bigger than cows," "a sky vulgar with stars," "boneless bears in the valley," blood on the snow. The whiplash lyricism: widows and raisins, mugwort and periwinkle, pine sap and cornhusk dolls, "the horror of color, the roar of soundlessness and the menace of familiar objects lying still."And then, only once he and you were completely soaked with the overwhelming stuff of the book, would he dash of a sentence or two, compressing the book's meaning and success into an incontestable epigram.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Ontario and one of the reasons we were excited to stay at this hotel(besides their nice bathroom!) was that they had a heated pool and a hot tub. Or supposedly, until Ana just jumped in the pool without any fear, only to start crying and freaking out in the water because of how cold it was. So Jay jumped in to get her and I could tell just by his face that the water was COLD. Well, that was enough proof for me so I just dipped my feet in the hot tub(which was not heated bytheway, but slightly warmer than the pool-turns out their heating system was broken), while I watched them swim.
13 weeks- I'm now in my second trimster!

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: Papelbon should be a Sox priority
It's come time to send Jonathan Papelbon shipping up to Boston.
It would come at a cost, of course, with the Phillies still on the fringe of contention in the National League and not yet halfway through the significant commitment they made to the reliever as a free agent.
As Bailey and Hanrahan have begun to prove, closing in Boston is different than closing in other places. As countless examples across baseball have proven over time, results tend to be fickle for all but the elite relievers. And as rosters around the game can attest, durability is a commodity as valuable as dependability.
