In this atmospheric romantic drama, Keanu Reeves plays Paul Sutton, who has just returned home from a stretch in the Army during World War II. Still reeling from the horrors of war, Paul wants to settle down and start a farm, but his wife Betty (Debra Messing), whom he met and impulsively married shortly before shipping out, has arranged for him to take a job as a salesman peddling chocolates. While taking a sales trip to another town, he befriends a beautiful but distraught young woman, Victoria Aragon (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon). While away at college, Victoria met and fell in love with a young man and soon became pregnant; however, when her boyfriend discovered she was expecting, he abandoned her. She returns home full of shame and fearful of her father's reaction. But Paul gets an idea -- he'll pose as her husband and leave after a day or two, so when she's left alone with the child, the disgrace will be on him, not her. Victoria agrees, and Paul joins Victoria as she arrives at her family's estate in the California wine country. Most of the Aragon family take to Paul readily enough, especially Grandfather Don Pedro (Anthony Quinn), but Victoria's father, Alberto (Giancarlo Giannini), senses something amiss between the young couple. A Walk In The Clouds was the first American film from director Alfonso Arau, who previously made the international hit Like Water For Chocolate. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Murder Between Friends
Another "based on an actual event!" TV movie, Murder Between Friends is set in 1980s New Orleans. Two friends become involved in murder when the wife of one of them begins cheating on her spouse. Constructed along the lines of "Rashomon", the script offers two entirely different accounts of the homicide and the events leading up to it. Timothy Busfield heads the cast as the hardworking prosecutor who wants to cut through the bull. When first telecast on January 10, 1994, Murder Between Friends was accompanied by a "viewer discretion" disclaimer; smart move. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A sterling cast headed by Oscar-nominated Susan Sarandon makes this slick thriller one of the better adaptations of a John Grisham bestseller. Mark Sway (Brad Renfro) witnesses the suicide of a Mafia lawyer, who confesses that the Mob was behind the murder of a U.S. senator. Mark's brother is traumatized into a coma by the incident; gangster Barry Muldano (Anthony LaPaglia) is soon on Mark's trail, and in desperation, he arrives at the office of recovering alcoholic lawyer Reggie Love (Sarandon). With the Mob after them, and a ruthless federal attorney (Tommy Lee Jones) trying to force Mark to reveal what he knows, Love battles to guarantee the safety of her client and his family. The relationship between Reggie Love and Mark Sway is the center of the film, adding considerable character development to plot's routine elements. Director Joel Schumacher helmed another Grisham adaptation, A Time To Kill, in 1996. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

It's just not William Foster's (Michael Douglas) day. Laid off from his defense job, Foster gets stuck in the middle of the mother of all traffic jams. Desirous of attending his daughter's birthday party at the home of his ex-wife (Barbara Hershey), Foster abandons his car and begins walking, encountering one urban humiliation after another (the Korean shopkeeper who obstinately refuses to give change is the worst of the batch). He also slowly unravels mentally, finally snapping at a fast-food restaurant that refuses to serve him breakfast because it's "too late." Running amok with an arsenal of weapons at the ready, Foster -- also known as "D-FENS" because of his vanity license plate -- rapidly becomes a source of terror to some, a folk hero to others. It's up to reluctant cop Prendergast (Robert Duvall), on the eve of his retirement, to bring D-FENS down. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Ill Will
The Banks family begins to panic when Geoffrey (Joseph Marcell) announces that he has written his "tell-all" memoirs. At the same time, Will (Will Smith) is terrified at the prospect of having his tonsils removed. The latter plotline eventually segues into a surrealistic nightmare sequence before settling into a zany hospital-room sequence straight out of the Marx Brothers. Veteran funnyman Milton Berle steals the show as Will's elderly roommate Max--and listen for a fleeting "inside" joke involving former General Hospital leading man John Beradino). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A woman learns the value of friendship as she hears the story of two women and how their friendship shaped their lives in this warm comedy-drama. Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) is an emotionally repressed housewife with a habit of drowning her sorrows in candy bars. Her husband Ed (Gailard Sartain) barely acknowledges her existence, and while he visits his aunt at a nursing home every week, Evelyn is not permitted to come into the room because the old women doesn't like her. One week, while waiting out Ed's visit, Evelyn meets Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy), a frail but feisty old woman who lives at the same nursing home and loves to tell stories. Over the span of several weeks, she spins a whopper about one of her relatives, Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson). Back in the 1920s, Idgie was a sweet but fiercely independent woman with her own way of doing things who ran the town diner in Whistle Stop, Alabama. Idgie was very close to her brother Buddy (Chris O'Donnell), and when he died, she wouldn't talk to anyone except Buddy's girl, Ruth Jamison (Mary-Louise Parker). Idgie gave Ruth a job at the cafe after she left her abusive husband, Frank Bennett (Nick Searcy). Between her habit of standing up for herself, standing up to Frank, and serving food to Black people out the back of the diner, Idgie raised the ire of the less tolerant citizens of Whistle Stop, and when Frank mysteriously disappeared, many locals suspected that Idgie, Ruth, and their friends may have been responsible. Evelyn finds herself looking forward to her weekly visits with Ninny, and is inspired by her story to take a new pride in herself and assert her independence from Ed. Fried Green Tomatoes was based on the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by actress-turned-author Fannie Flagg, who makes a cameo appearance as the leader of a self-help group. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Fox) hops in his Porsche and is headed for California, where a lucrative practice in Beverly Hills awaits.

The Deliberate Stranger
Mark Harmon stars as baby-faced serial killer Ted Bundy in this sobering 2-part TV movie. Ostensibly the archetypal All-American boy, Bundy was, from 1974 onward, responsible for the rapes and murders of several young women in the Pacific Northwest. The clues begin to mount when one of Bundy's victims manages to escape; she can only say that her assailant was a fellow named Ted who drives a yellow Volkswagen. Finally arrested after he moves from Seattle to Utah, Bundy is so certain of his superiority over the general run of human beings that he conducts his own defense at his trial; then, when extradited to Colorado, he escapes, triggering a desperate nationwide manhunt. At the time Deliberate Stranger was first telecast on May 5 and 6, 1986, Theodore Bundy was on Death Row, still contesting his sentence and seeking a legal way out. When time came for his execution, Bundy attempted several bizarre last-minute "stays," which would make intriguing subject matter should someone want to make a follow-up film. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Determined to turn her life around, Marie leaves her husband and goes back to school. Against long odds, she completes her college degree and is able to land a job with the Tennessee State Government. Thanks to hard work and being in the right place at the right time, Marie moves up the ladder to become the head of the Tennessee Parole Board. However, the more authority Marie gains, the more corruption she sees, reaching to the highest offices in the state -- Eddie Sisk (Jeff Daniels), special assistant to the governor, has worked out a system by which he can collect bribes on behalf of the governor in exchange for political favors, without the governor himself being directly implicated. An angry Marie decides that it's time she did something about the graft and dirty dealing in the parole department, but she soon discovers that the governor has many powerful friends who can easily discredit her in the press. The supporting cast includes Morgan Freeman and Trey Wilson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

John Schlesinger directed this fact-based drama - adapted from Robert Lindsay's bestseller of the same title -- about two Californians, friends since boyhood, who are caught selling government secrets to the Soviet Union. Christopher Boyce (Timothy Hutton) is an all-American boy, studying for the priesthood in a seminary. But Boyce decides to drop out of school, and with the help of his father (Pat Hingle), a FBI agent, he gets a job working for the CIA in a message-routing center. While reading the messages, Boyce is shocked to learn that the CIA is involved in fixing Australian elections. Watching the Watergate hearings on television, he feels an ever-mounting sense of outrage at the arrogance of the U.S. government and decides to do something about it. Deciding to supply the CIA messages to the Russians, he enlists his childhood friend Daulton Lee (Sean Penn) to help him. Lee is to deliver the CIA secrets to a Russian operative (David Suchet) at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. But Lee is an unreliable drug dealer, and his sloppy spy trail leads the two old friends into more trouble than they bargained for. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The Red Light Sting
Originally and imprudently titled The Whorehouse Sting, this fact-based, made-for-TV melodrama casts Beau Bridges as federal agent Frank Powell, who makes it his mission to bring slick but deadly racketeer Oliver Sully (Harold Gould) to justice. This undertaking requires Powell and his fellow government functionaries to set up a phony San Francisco brothel (total price tag: $450,000), thereby setting the stage for an intricate extortion "sting". Putting her life on the line along with Powell is professional call girl Kathy Dunne (Farrah Fawcett), who agrees to pose as the brothel's madam. Laced with moments of unexpected humor and capped by an unexpected denoument, The Red-Light Sting debuted April 5, 1984, on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Paul Michael Glaser and Linda Kelsey play the Michaels, who labor away at a tiny California daily. Upon hearing of iniquities at the famed Santa Monica drug-rehab center Synanon, the Michaels begin publishing their evidence. Despite legal pressure from Synanon and bizarre anonymously mailed threats, the Mitchells' story results in a major investigation of the revered institution. Completed in 1982, the made-for-TV Attack on Fear was not telecast until October of 1984, and then only after (presumably) being reshaped to satisfy Synanon's battery of attorneys. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Given the off-the-wall premise in this sci-fi western -- that a motorcyclist rides his bike through a time warp right into the Wild West, into the middle of a gang of outlaws, and cannot figure out what happened -- the glitches and gaps in the plot fit right in with the spirit of the adventure. When the outlaw Reese (Peter Coyote) catches sight of the macho bike, he decides that several hundred horsepower are better than his one and is out to rustle the vehicle any way he can. Unfortunately, the bike does not run on high-octane hay -- an issue that bites the dust when pistol-packing Clair (Belinda Bauer) appears on the scene. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Australian Construction Contracts Fastest Pace in 11 Mths
Australia's building industry shrank in August at the fastest pace in 11 months, led by a slump in apartments and weaker engineering construction as resource industry demand wanes, a private gauge showed.
The construction performance index fell to 32.2 last month from 32.6 in July, a survey by the Australian Industry Group and the Housing Industry Association released in Sydney today showed. A reading below 50 represents a contraction.
Australia's housing industry is struggling even after the Reserve Bank lowered its benchmark borrowing cost by a total of 1.25 percentage points from November to June. Prices for iron ore tumbled this quarter as growth slows in China, Australia's largest trading partner, and today's survey showed engineering construction companies cited the impact of weaker demand in the resources industry and project delays.
"The near-term outlook for the construction sector deteriorated with a further fall in new orders," said Peter Burn, the Australian Industry Group's director of public policy, said in a statement. "The drop-off in new orders was particularly sharp for engineering construction and the apartment sub-sector."
Construction of apartments plunged 10.8 points to 22.1 and engineering slid 3.8 points to 35.7, today's report showed. House building rose 3.5 points to 31.5 and commercial construction gained 7.9 points to 34.
New orders dropped 5.8 points to 28.1, while a gauge of employment rose 3 points to 35.4 last month, it showed.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest miner, last month decided to delay approval of an estimated $33 billion expansion of the Olympic Dam copper, uranium and gold mine in South Australia. Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. (FMG), Australia's biggest iron ore producer after Rio Tinto Group and BHP, this week cut its full-year capital spending forecast by 26 percent to $4.6 billion.

Repair of Oromaxillary Fistula
Surgery OverviewAn oromaxillary fistula is an abnormal passageway between one of the sinuses on either side of your nose (maxillary sinuses) and the roof of your mouth. It may develop as a birth defect (linked with a cleft palate), as a complication of removing a tooth, or from infection or trauma. Sometimes the roots of a tooth are so close to the bone under a maxillary sinus that the bone is damaged when the tooth is removed. This can open a passage between the mouth and sinus. Before surgery, you may have an imaging test, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, to help the doctor plan your surgery. A surgeon may choose one of several techniques to close the fistula. One of the most common methods is called flap advancement. It involves cutting a U-shaped flap of skin in the side or roof of the mouth (sometimes both) and stretching the flap over the fistula. Sometimes a surgeon will place a piece of medical-grade foil over the opening and then stitch the skin flap over the foil. You probably will have general anesthesia, which means you will be unconscious during the operation. eMedicineHealth Medical Reference from Healthwise This information does not replace the advice of a doctor.

NYPD investigating detective's home in Queens kidnapping case
The police are still looking into whether a detective was part of a kidnapping that involved his Springfield Gardens home.
As of Sunday evening, Ondre Johnson, who works in the NYPD's Brooklyn gang unit, according to The New York Times, has not been charged by prosecutors but has been suspended without pay, the NYPD said.
On Friday, cops traced a phone call made by an alleged kidnapper to Johnson's home and discovered that a man was being held in the garage, the NYPD said.
Officers arrested two men Hakeem Clark, 30, and Jason Hutson, 27, and they were arraigned Saturday night on several charges including kidnapping, and possession of forgery devices, the Queens district attorney's office said.
Clark is Johnson's cousin and was renting out the garage, according to the Times.
Devices used for making phony credit cards were found inside the garage, according to a source close to the investigation.

Marti Paradisis blasts the Oakley Big Wave Awards 2013 |
Friday, 15 February 2013 09:58 |
Marti Paradisis has conquered the Surfing Life Oakley Big Wave Awards 2013, held in Australia.
"It doesn't matter where they are, they're always like this. They charge hard and they party hard", said Marti of his fellow Tasmanian boys. "It's a huge thrill. I wouldn't get to ride waves like this without a lot of help so this isn't just for me". Pedra Branca is located 30 kilometers off the coast of Tasmania. Marti Paradisis paddled out an hour before dark, waiting for the best conditions, and rode a bumpy wave with a massive lip. "This isn't the XXL Awards. This isn't guys getting paid 100-grand to go around the world, this is a celebration of the guys from your hometown who do it becuase they love it, and we love them for that. It's a bit grittier, and that's what makes it special", expressed Phil Ward, from Oakley. Grant "Twiggy" Baker secured the "Biggest Slab" award for a dangerous cavern at the infamous "The Right", in Southwest Australia. The "Biggest Paddle-In" title went to Jeff "Camel" Goulden, for his 30-footer at Cow Bombie, in Western Australia. |

If you study the history of the ferries when it was a private company, they were undependable and expensive. That is why Washington State Department of Transportation took over the Black Ball Lines. They wanted dependable Puget Sound Transportation. The Puget Sound is a unique environment, Washington State Ferries is a part of that environment and needs to be funded! Tim Eymen shut down the only funding the ferries once had, which is why the rates went up and the ferries are falling into disrepair! Help fund the ferries!!!

I read with interest, and a chuckle or two, the Monday article, "Enthusiasts buying condos in Fort Lauderdale ... for their cars." Why buy a condo when you can own a house?
My father must have been ahead of his time, for in 1986, he purchased a 4,000-square-foot Oakland Park home for his family of automobiles. The home is east of Interstate 95, has one bedroom, one and a half baths, living room, kitchen, washer/dryer, two big screen televisions, two recliners, a 900-square-foot wood shop, security and space for 10 automobiles. The car house has never been breached by flood waters, and had only very minor cosmetic damage in Hurricane Wilma. It doesn't have central air conditioning, but has plenty of ventilation and ceiling fans. Best of all, there are no condo associations!

John C. Doyle: J. Barkley Rosser Memorial Lecture: Universal Laws and Architectures
A reception will follow the talk in the WID Atrium
Abstract: This talk will focus on progress towards a more "unified" theory for complex networks motivated by biology and technology. This unification involves several elements: hard limits on achievable robust performance ("laws"), the organizing principles that succeed or fail in achieving them (architectures and protocols), the resulting high variability data and "robust yet fragile" behavior observed in real systems (behavior, data), and the processes by which systems evolve (variation, selection, design). We will leverage a series of case studies from neuroscience, cell biology, human physiology, and technology to illustrate the implications of recent theoretical developments. Hard limits on measurement, prediction, communication, computation, decision, and control, as well as the underlying physical energy and material conversion mechanism necessary to implement these abstract process are at the heart of modern mathematical theories of systems in engineering and science (often associated with names such as Shannon, Poincare, Turing, Gödel, Bode, Wiener, Heisenberg, Carnot, et cetera). They form the foundation for rich and deep subjects that are nevertheless now introduced at the undergraduate level. Unfortunately, these subjects remain largely fragmented and incompatible, even as the tradeoffs between these limits are essential to understanding human physiology and neuroscience, and are of growing importance in building integrated and sustainable systems. Time permitting, we will give an accessible introduction to these theories, how they do and don't relate to each other, and progress and prospects for a more integrated theory. Particular emphasis will be put on Turing's work in honor of his 100th birthday.
Bio: John C. Doyle is the John G Braun Professor of Control and Dynamical Systems, Electrical Engineering, and BioEngineering at Caltech. He has a BS and MS in EE from MIT (1977), and a PhD in Math from UC Berkeley (1984). Current research interests are the theoretical foundations for complex networks in engineering and biology and for multiscale physics. Early work was in the mathematics of robust control, including extensions to nonlinear and networked systems. Related software projects include the Robust Control Toolbox (muTools), SOSTOOLS, SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language), and FAST (Fast AQM, Scalable TCP). Prize papers include IEEE Baker, IEEE Automatic Control Transactions Axelby (twice), and best conference papers in ACM Sigcomm and AACC American Control Conference. Individual awards include AACC Eckman, and IEEE Control Systems Field and Centennial Outstanding Young Engineer Awards. He has held national and world records and championships in various sports. He is best known for having excellent co-authors, students, friends, and colleagues.

It kind of freaked me out a bit,??? she said. ???It was like he was coming back from the dead.
That's a bit hyperbolic for sentence four, don'tcha think NYT?
Seriously though, detecting an actual "dead" user, vs an inactive user is definitely a difficult thing to model well. "Facebook says it has been grappling with how to handle the ghosts in its machine", wait for it… wait for it… " but acknowledges that it has not found a good solution."
I wouldn't look for a fix soon, even with the NYT's totally click-friendly title, "As Facebook Users Die, Ghosts Reach Out."
As recently as a few months ago, Facebook suggested my ex-wife in the "People you might know" widget.
People I might know?!??Is that some sick digital karmic joke?
Even with all the data Facebook needed – It went something like friends, in a relationship with, engaged to, married, it's complicated, single, unfriend — the system still totally failed to spot the hint.
The Times opines, "These are issues that Facebook no doubt wishes it could avoid entirely. But death, of course, is unavoidable, and so Facebook must find a way to integrate it into the social experience online."
As my boss is fond of saying, "If you're complaining about something without a solution, you're just bitching."
So NYT, what's your master plan for tying Facebook directly into the grid? That could make them not only omniscient, but by extension totally infallible! Of course, then you'd be stuck looking for sensational Sunday headlines — so maybe that's not the best solution.
If you really must make sure Zuck knows you've kicked the bucket, Facebook provides a handy form.
Zuck already knows more about my family than any stranger on earth — save maybe for The Goog.??
At the risk of sounding like a troglodyte, I would much prefer mis-guided widgets encouraging me to reach out and touch someone who died ( or even someone who is just 'dead to me' ) over the alternatives.??I'll keep the lousy suggestion engine,??thank you very much.
It's those visible cracks in the surface which reassure me we're not??already??head-deep in a world where the social web not only has the data to know when major personal events happen, but the 'awareness' to use that data to tailor my experience.

Man gets $1 million bond; accused of assaulting 7-year-old girl
Published: Monday, June 25, 2012 at 11:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 25, 2012 at 11:12 a.m.
A man was in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $1 million bond Monday morning after the Lexington Police Department alleges he sexually assaulted a 7-year-old girl.
Franklin Vasquez, 37, of 611 Ford St., has been charged with felony first-degree sex offense with a child. He has a court date of July 24.
According to the Lexington Police Department, the mother of the girl visited Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center and alleged that her daughter had been sexually assaulted. The mother told police that while holding a get-together June 2 with a few friends at her home, a friend sexually assaulted her daughter. The girl was taken to Lexington Medical Center on June 4, where she was treated and released.
Vasquez, according to court documents, is considered a flight risk and was deported two years ago. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were on their way Monday morning to Lexington to detain him, a spokeswoman with the Davidson County Clerk of Court's Office said.

INVESTORS seized on some unexpected good news Friday from Intel, Oracle and National Semiconductor to drive technology shares higher.
Upside surprises have been few and far between in recent months, so there is a strong incentive among prospective stock buyers to extrapolate a recovery in technology from these three data points. And indeed, some analysts said that so many companies had either warned beforehand of poor results or had come in below estimates in the quarters ending in March and June that a sizable number would now beat Wall Street's diminished expectations for September and December. Whether that kind of performance qualifies as a recovery is still open to discussion.
Look at Intel, which said Friday that its third-quarter sales would be 8 to 10 percent higher than the $5.9 billion reported in the second quarter, rather than flat, as it had suggested earlier. While 10 percent sequential revenue growth is enormous, it is only in comparison to the weak June quarter, which showed no revenue growth over the period a year earlier and a 29 percent drop in earnings.

I chanced upon them on a visit to Toronto in December 2003, catching their breakthrough video Into Your Hideout (comparable to Radiohead's There, There in a visual sense) during a channel-hopping session on Canadian cable TV. I was interested, but not overtly so, and only decided to pick up their debut disc Caught By The Window when I saw it for a mere $9.99 (that being £5 to us Limeys).
What are the best conditions to investigate a new album? Can you achieve a higher state of appreciation by using it as a soundtrack to the chores? Or are you better off putting all things aside and sitting through it intently for an entire afternoon? I had little choice, as it turned out, what with being stuck on a trans-Atlantic flight for 7 hours with only my CD player as company. If memory serves, I managed to fit in a minimum of 5 repeat listens between a miniscule, microwaved "beef stew" and the crack of dawn performance of Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. Needless to say, I was utterly transfixed.
At the time I knew next to nothing about Pilate, other than that they were Canadian and very, very new. I know now that their beating heart is lead singer and lyricist Todd Clark - a New Zealand-born university music student. Viola and violin-trained bassist Ruby Bumrah was drafted in with the use of an internet ad, and was quickly followed by guitarist Chris Greenough, who in turn brought fellow art student and drummer Bill Keeley into the fold.
A homemade. 6-track EP entitled For All That's Given, Wasted started chins wagging in 2002, gradually earning the band increasingly prestigious club slots in the Toronto area. They even supported UK outfit Alfie, thoroughly upstaging them in the process. The EP (subsequently re-released by MapleMusic due to popular demand) was in itself a combination of the two musical staples - melody and melancholy - and provided several songs that proved so strong that they earned slots on the full-length debut. The EP, however, is not my concern here.
Caught By The Window is epic in the same way Parachutes was: Carefully constructed soundscapes; sensitive to a fault; lyrically poignant. It's a remarkable, sadness-tinted journey, from the blind, cave-like reverb on Endgame through to the nurtured confusion Out On My Feet (complete with Pink Floyd-style schoolyard singing).
Following Endgame's approximate sense of loss (bravely experimental for an opening track), Melt Into The Walls takes the reigns with the kind of pretty riffing and soaring vocals you'd imagine Matt Bellamy to exhibit if he were deprived of his gadgets. "Your time has run out", pours Clark, unleashing a torrent of heartbreak that sustains for the entirety of the album. Into Your Hideout follows, its tragic sentiment ("I stole into your hideout / And it's cold there now") entwined with a Doves-esque chord progression and dreamy middle eighth.
Events subsequently turn ever-so-slightly folkish with the banjo-driven Mercy, which, like most other tracks, crescendos slowly but thoroughly, culminating with pedal-down guitar melodies and point-of-breaking vocals that make you shiver with excitement. Fall Down adheres to the principle with minutes of near-silence minimalism, gradually upping the volume and peaking with poetic highlights:
"It's a secret that's unspoken / It was the cause of all your tears / We'd rip the night wide open / It was the morning that we feared / There's glass upon this playground / There's cocaine in your church / Is there water in this desert / Is there water in this desert?"
No song packs the emotional punch of Alright, though. It takes the crescendo formula to an entirely new level, layering with progressive emotion from a beautiful, classic-sounding, top-string melody to crashing overdrive; from "Tonight I lack the strength to even move" to an exhausted, conclusive "You'll make it, somehow" via 5 minutes of almost unbearable intensity. If Caught By The Window has a selling point, this is it.
The remainder of the album remarkably steers clear of the kind of emotional hangover often induced by tracks of Alright's stature. Overrated runs along like an REM track played too quickly, standing out for its defiant tone rather than Pilate's more usual forlorn nature. Travel Song, moreover, sits cautiously optimistic sentiment on top of an inspired acoustic melody, relating a narrative of memory-turned-hope. Out On My Feet enjoys the album's most progressive moment with a children's choir, who, as in days long gone, bring an incredible sense of poignancy to existential lyrics. Reprise, an overdriven interpretation of the echoing opener Endgame, provides the last moments with fist-in-the-air exuberance.
As I said at the beginning, I cannot recommend Caught By The Window highly enough. It is every bit as good as Parachutes, blending elements of Chris Martin's motley crew along with prime cuts of REM, Doves, Radiohead and probably a few more for good measure. Keep an eye out for some plugging in the near future (unless the world decides that justice simply isn't inkeeping with the spirit of the 21st century), but in the meantime treat yourself to an import copy of Caught By The Window, courtesy of our good friends at Amazon. Thank you for reading.

Jack Black has joked he has "retired from acting".
In an interview broadcast by a British radio station today, the Hollywood star claimed to be focusing on his musical career with rock band Tenacious D for now.
Jack bantered that he was born to be a musician and would rather embark on a career as a candle maker than return to acting.
"We're just a rock band. We do what we do. It's in our DNA. What? Is there anything else? If we weren't doing this, what would we be doing? I'd be teaching candle making. I have a passion for the arts of candle making. I've retired from acting," he told BBC Radio 1.
Jack also spoke about Tenacious D's touring lifestyle.
The lead singer insisted that they don't indulge in wild rock star clichés because they want to perform well.
He added that distractions from well wishers aren't welcome before a gig.
"When we're on tour we are pretty focused because we like to be the best," Jack said before joking, "I don't like to see people I don't know when I'm about to go on. Like, when people come in right before and go 'I just wanted to say hi'. Get out of here man! Can't you see we're trying to focus?"

Dear colleagues,
I'm very happy to join your site and be a member of it.My questions are: 1.What is the difference in meaning between "made of" and "made from" eg
This chair is made of wood/ This chair is made from wood
I'm confused
2. In which cases does the past simple in direct speech remain past simple in reported speech ?( i.e instead of using past perfect).Please make it clear.
Thanks for your help

Continuing an early-season trend, the Camden High offense remained in high gear with a 16-hit attack which led the way to a 14-0 thumping of host Crestwood on Tuesday night in Columbia.
Dear Annie: My neighbor "Linda" has been single and lonely for years. A few months ago, she told me that she was communicating with a man she met on a personals website. I was initially happy to hear this, but quickly changed my mind.
I would first like to thank everyone personally that supported the North Central and Lugoff Elgin marching bands as they traveled to Disney World in February to march in Disney parades. Both ensembles had great performances and both were very well complimented by the Disney staff, parents, and visitors to the Disney parks. Thank you again to everyone that financially supported these two ensembles.
The James Leroy Belk Post 17, American Legion, recently responded to two flag-related requests in the community. The Lugoff Fire Department asked the post for a replacement flag to fly at the station and Midway Elementary School requested a new halyard (rope) to replace the worn one on its flagpole.
At the invitation of Walt Disney World of Orlando, Fla., the North Central High School March Knights performed at the EPCOT Center Disney Theme Park Feb. 20. In addition, band drum major Dylan Sims made first chair at the Limestone Band Clinic and won the Limestone Scholarship Contest. Members of the Marching Knights expressed thanks to their supporters this season. Those who would like to financially support the Marching Knights are asked to contact the ...
The Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County will hold its fourth annual Clinic Classic 5K walk/run and 10k run on April 16 at 8:30 a.m.
Funeral services for Mary Ella Gotto, of Camden, age 93, will be held Friday, March 18 at 2:00 p.m. at the Kornegay Funeral Home with Rev. Bruce Hancock officiating. Burial will follow at Quaker Cemetery.
Payback, thy name is Andrew Galuppi. Some two weeks after watching Great Falls storm its pitching mound after winning the May Plant Credit Union Baseball Bash, North Central received a complete game, three-hitter from the Knight junior in a 5-1 win over the Red Devils Tuesday night in Boonetown. Not only did Galuppi (1-1) hold the Red Devils' offense at bay, but he also drove in four runs on two hits to ...
A memorial service for Mary Anne Oden Watson, 87, of Elgin, will be held Saturday June 4th at 2:00 P.M. at Lakeview Baptist Church. Rev. Hugh McKinney will officiate. The family will receive friends immediately following the service at Lakeview Baptist Church. Memorials may be made in Mrs. Watson's memory to Lake View Baptist Church, 1520 Mill Street, Camden, SC 29020.
Ella Mae Holloman Baker, 90, of Bishopville, wife of Lloyd Baker, died Thursday, March 17, 2011 at Palmetto Health Richland in Columbia.
Corrie Pearl Kelley Gantt, 94, of Timrod Road, Bethune, SC, died Saturday, March 12, 2011.
Say what you will about Gov. Nikki Haley, but don't say one thing: that she's bashful.
I've always had a special fondness for community newspapers. The newspaper you hold in your hand helps strengthen your community. Weekly and other non-daily publications boost the local economy -- both through advertising and in news coverage. They showcase local businesses at a time we should be shopping locally, investing in the community and protecting local jobs. Community newspapers bring us "good news" -- news of Cub Scout projects, civic fundraisers, little-league ...
There won't be many people in Kershaw County who'll be neutral about the South Carolina-Clemson game Saturday, as both teams come into the rivalry ranked in the nation's Top 10. It should be a great contest, with the entire nation watching. South Carolina Coach Steve Spurrier and Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney have been unusually complimentary of each other in the days leading up to the game, with both of ...
The Camden High School baseball program, in conjunction with the Kershaw County Recreation Department, will host a one-day baseball camp on Saturday, Dec. 7 from noon until 3 p.m. at American Legion Park in Camden.
WASHINGTON -- For children, Christmastime may be the favorite holiday, even if their families don't celebrate the birth of Christ. The twinkling lights and aura of magic that suddenly transfigure the most plebian edifices are nearly as seductive as a round-trip ticket to Never-Never Land.
When the North Central High School Competitive Cheerleading Team headed to the 2012 AA state championship at Bi-Lo Arena in Greenville, the squad was entering uncharted territory.
William L. Pape's Divine Fortune, who drew clear from an all-star field in Far Hills' Grand National (Gr. 1) was crowned as the National Steeplechase Association's 2013 earnings champion at awards ceremonies on Nov. 23 held at Springdale Hall in Camden.

Fostering a LAP Therapy Dog
A great way to get involved in therapy work and truly understand the process from the ground level is to foster one of our potential Therapy dogs. As a rescue organization, we do not believe in a breeding program in order to acquire dogs with the correct temperament for therapy work. There are so many fabulous dogs in our shelter system that, despite what they've been through, have an incredible disposition and eagerness to provide love. Once we've evaluated one of our rescues as a potential Lend a Paw dog, our next step is to find a foster home.
As a foster parent, you will be directly responsible for the care of the Lend a Paw dog as well as maintaining its training. It is equally important that all of our dogs are well socialized and used to meeting new people and being in new environments. Information about how to continue socializing your foster dog will be given when you decide to foster.
Since it's important for the dog to be in a secure environment, maintain its training and develop a relationship with the foster parent, we do require that all foster parents make a commitment of fostering for at least 6 months.
Foster parents are invited to become part of the Lend a Paw team and visit locations once they have passed a handling test and required training sessions. Occasionally, the foster dog may also be used by other team members should the foster parent be unable to attend a certain event or location. Additionally, the dog is available for adoption as a Therapy dog to the foster parent or an individual wishing to adopt a Therapy dog and continue its invaluable therapy work.
Although it may seem difficult, fostering can be a very rewarding experience! It's amazing to see an animal rescued from the shelter transform into a secure and loving companion and the joy that animal both gives and receives from the individuals it affects.
For more information, contact the LAP Team.

I'm falling seriously behind on my holiday blogging. I'm still on Christmas, and we've already had a whole bunch of New Years: Javanese New Year, Muslim New Year, Chinese New Year, and New Year New Year. More on those later!
Anyway, last month some friends of ours organized a Very Dangdut Christmas party. This involved hiring an dangdut street band that our friend/colleague Ade wrote this lovely story about in the paper.
I didn't have high hopes for the band. Most of the dangdut outfits that come to our neighborhood just wander around blaring out-of-tune music on really terrible sound systems. But these guys were pretty good. Here's a couple of minutes of video; as you can see, it's a big band, with keyboard, drums, guitars, flute and singers:
Questions: 1. Why do I always seem to be videotaping in the dark? And 2. who is that mysterious mustachioed man?

[Douglas Kruger] You're talented, skilled, experienced, savvy... You have it all, except one thing: The skill to put all this over to your client. (video)
[Douglas Kruger] Let's say that team-work doesn't appeal to you, and that you don't actually want a successful organisation... How could you go about creatively dismantling your business? Totally trashing it? It can, in fact, be done quite easily. (video)
[Douglas Kruger] They all suffer from the same basic problem: The successful executive who wonders why his social life is in disarray; the office worker who always produces but never seems to get promoted; and the intellectual with three advanced degrees who wonders why much stupider people are in charge of the operation.
[Douglas Kruger] Talent can be reduced to an equation with four major elements. The first and most important of these elements is 'yearning.' To become talented at something, anything, you have to dearly want to! When we yearn, we find ways around any obstacle; we overcome any hindrance. (video)
[Douglas Kruger] From Amoeba to Icon; where do you currently rank in your industry's natural progression? In this piece, I walk you through the seven stages of development as you strive to position yourself as an industry expert. [video]
[Douglas Kruger] For millennia, we've used ostentatious outward displays of wealth to indicate to the village that 'I am a heap big important cheese'. The S-Class Merc and Gucci shoes of today are really just an extension in trajectory from the feathers and beads of our forebears; a way of saying, 'Behold in awe the very amazingness of me!'
[Douglas Kruger] An interesting thing happened last year. Our economic scale took a tilt in the wrong direction. SA now has more people on social grants than earning incomes. Margaret Thatcher once said that the problem with socialism is that, eventually, you run out of other people's money to spend. (video)
[Douglas Kruger] Why don't people get better at public speaking just by speaking in public? Well, it's the same reason golfers don't get better just by playing golf. But both could make giant strides if they just understood how talent actually works. It is understandable, it is systemised, and it can be replicated. I'd like to show you how...
[Douglas Kruger] Considering which anatomical part we park on them, chairs are one of the most venerable oratory tools in the universe. I'd go so far as to say, of all props and visual aids available to you, the humble chair, and not Bill Gates' little programme, is the ultimate.
[Douglas Kruger] Bad intros ruin speeches. They're like flipping open the leather cover on a Dickensian classic and finding a foreword that reads, "This is a story about two cities. I haven't read it, but I'm sure it will be good. And the author will introduce himself to you."

IFRS/IAS Summary
IAS-23 - Borrowing Costs
Objective of IAS 23
The objective of IAS 23 is to prescribe the accounting treatment for borrowing costs. Borrowing costs include interest on bank overdrafts and borrowings, amortisation of discounts or premiums on borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in the arrangement of borrowings, finance charges on finance leases and exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Key Definitions
Borrowing cost is interest and other costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with the borrowing of funds. [IAS 23.4] Interest includes amortisation of discount/premium on debt. Other costs include amortisation of debt issue costs and certain foreign exchange differences that are regarded as an adjustment of interest cost. [IAS 23.5] Borrowing cost does not include actual or imputed cost of equity capital, including any preferred capital not classified as a liability pursuant to IAS 32. [IAS 23.1]
A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. [IAS 23.5] That could be property, plant, and equipment and investment property during the construction period, intangible assets during the development period, or "made-to-order" inventories. [IAS 23.6]
Accounting Treatment
The benchmark treatment is that all borrowing costs should be expensed in the period in which they are incurred. [IAS 23.7] The allowed alternative treatment is that borrowing costs in relation to the acquisition, construction and production of a qualifying asset should be treated as part of the cost of the relevant asset. [IAS 23.10-11]
Where the allowed alternative is adopted, that treatment should be applied consistently to all borrowing costs incurred for the acquisition, construction and production of qualifying assets. [SIC 2]
Where funds are borrowed specifically, costs eligible for capitalisation are the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings. [IAS 23.15] Where funds are part of a general pool, the eligible amount is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalisation rate will be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the general pool. [IAS 23.17]
Where the alternative treatment is followed, capitalisation should commence when expenditures are being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress (may include some activities prior to commencement of physical production). [IAS 23.20] Capitalisation should be suspended during periods in which active development is interrupted. Capitalisation should cease when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete. [IAS 23.25] If only minor modifications are outstanding, this indicates that substantially all of the activities are complete.
Where construction is completed in stages, which can be used while construction of the other parts continues, capitalisation of attributable borrowing costs should cease when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that part for its intended use or sale are complete. [IAS 23.27]

Description: Today Antonio is feeling lazy, so he lets sexy ebony hooker Bina do all the work. Antonio just lies there in luxury on his bed as the girl goes to work, giving him an erotic massage and then jerking and sucking his cock until it is rock hard and pointing straight towards the ceiling. Then the sexy whore gets on top, spreading her legs and slowly easing the dribbling white cock into her tiny snatch. Despite the fact that she is a professional whore, she's not used to taking cocks of this magnitude and she struggles to get more than half of the penis inside her little hole at first. Soon she's taking the full, erect length inside herself!
