MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #145 - Lamont
It has been a while since our last MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire feature, so we figured it was about time to release the next one. Peep the interview below, and don't forget to download Lamont's mix!
Easy man, you good?
All good! Can't complain.
For those that don't know you, who is Lamont?
I'm a bass type music producer from Bristol, UK.
You'll be widely known as the producer Calski - but less so as Lamont. What's the logic behind the name switch?
Couple reasons really but the main one being I just felt like it was time for a fresh start. There's a long list of tunes I made under 'Calski' that I'm not really into anymore and I've got a few releases coming this year that I'm excited about so it seemed like the perfect time to make the switch!
How would you describe your sound?
I try to make a variation of sounds to be honest, when I sit down at my computer I never know what sort of vibe is going to come out of it – which makes it more exciting for me personally. But typically if it's not something melodic and spacey; it's going to be something dark, sinister and upbeat. Tempos usually range between 120-140bpm.
When did you decide you wanted to produce bass music – and have you ever produced non-bass music?
When I first started making beats it was on a free demo of Fruity Loops. I just made super bait cheap grime tracks that you couldn't even save! It was a while between then and the time I actually got my home studio but I was probably about 20 when I decided I wanted to do it properly. So I went to college to study music tech for a couple years - then after that just kept practising production; I'm still practising now!
How do you go about building your tunes? What's your production setup like?
I've got a pretty modest setup really. I use an iMac and Logic Pro 9, I've got a couple of KRK rockit 8s, a Focusrite Saffire 6 soundcard and an M-Audio midi keyboard. Nothing too fancy but it works for me.
Your EP on Overcooked Records last year was met with many positive reviews, what's your release schedule looking like for 2013? Anything physical?
Nothing on wax as of yet unfortunately, but I have got a steady flow of releases ready to go for this year… A couple more EPs with Overcooked Records and a release with ICU Audio – which I'm happy about because I've been a fan of the ICU gang for a long time so shouts to them!
Another standard question you're probably bored to death of. Do you prefer turntables or CDJs for playing out? Does it matter?
I'd say in an ideal world vinyl is always better, but unfortunately most of the tunes I play aren't out on vinyl yet and getting every tune you like cut to dubplate is pretty costly, so at the moment I'm using CDs.
How long have you been playing out? If you could pick any of your recent bookings, what would be your favourite – and why?
I've been playing out and about for a couple years now. I did the whole playing for free thing for about a year to get my name about at the beginning but there is only so far you can go doing that. I had some really good gigs last year, probably the highlight for me was going to play at a festival in Venice, Italy. I also did the F.A.O nights in Cardiff twice last year and they are live so big up to those guys for having me down!
Going back to the above production question, do you think producers need to make more than one genre of music these days? Where do you see the dubstep 'sound' moving to over the next year or so?
I think people should just make whatever makes them happy rather then trying to conform to a genre or sound. I think people get too hung up on genres/ bpm etc these days, don't worry about what people are going to call it just make sure you enjoy the music. There are so many sick producers at the moment it's nice to see so many people doing their thing!
In terms of advice, what are your top points for new producers and DJs looking to get heard or signed?
Practice makes perfect, just keep going with it. Stick to your guns and make the music you want to make. But most importantly, enjoy yourself when you're doing it!
Tell us about your MIG x FKOF mix…
I tried to get a mix of tunes in there, it starts off more melodic, goes in to darker stuff in the middle and then gets a bit more housey towards the end. Big up to everyone that took a listen I hope you enjoyed it!
Any shoutouts?
Yeah big shout to Overcooked records, the ICU Audio gang and all the Bristol boys - Boofy, Hi5Ghost, OH91, Lemzly Dale, My Nu Leng, Kahn, Prime, Peaman, Sly-One and most of all you guys.
3 producers we should be following are…?
Boofy, Hi5Ghost and OH91.
Best bass music track ever produced is…?
What a question! There has been so many huge tracks but I'd say my personal favourite would be…. Pinch's 'Punisher'.
Best label in bass music is…?
Deep Medi.
After hearing this one for the first time, Lamont's MIG x FKOF mix went into one of our favourites from the series - a definite must grab!

PBS is airing a new four-hour documentary on Bill Clinton (part one was Monday, part two tonight), and while I didn't see a lot that was new, I was struck by its description of Clinton's first months in Washington. As with almost all presidents, there was a learning curve (a point emphasized by presidential historians on Charlie Rose last night). Clinton came to Washington expecting it to be like Little Rock, where he could sway the state legislature through personal persuasion. He wasn't ready for the long knives, the inside games, voracious media the and the determination of the opposition to stop anything he wanted to do.
Sound familiar?
Anyway, it reminded me of something Bill Clinton said to Charles Pierce in a recent Esquire interview:
I had a fascinating meeting with Bob Inglis the other day. Bob Inglis was an extremely conservative Republican congressman from South Carolina. He was a three-term-pledge guy in the nineties…. So he came to me and he said, "I just want you to know, when you got elected, I hated you. And I asked to be on the Judiciary Committee in 1993, because a bunch of us had already made up our minds that no matter what you did or didn't do, we were going to find some way to impeach you. We hated you. You had no right to be president."
I don't recall impeachment coming up until the Lewinsky scandal broke, and suddenly a national conversation erupted about the most appropriate official response to a president lying under oath in the Paula Jones deposition. I wasn't the only one who hadn't seen the wheels turning before the curtain opened on the impeachment show.
"I followed this whole thing pretty closely in 1997 and 1998 and I don't recall any of our prominent pundits, or many of the people covering the events, mentioning at the time that the Republicans were preparing to impeach Clinton for something just about from the moment his hand left the Bible, which is pretty much what Inglis copped to when he spoke to the former president more recently," Pierce writes.
Rob and others have raised the notion of impeaching Obama here before, trumpeting some presidential act or other that requires the Constitution's ultimate punishment. Grover Norquist has been making the same noises — this time in public — about impeaching Obama if he lets the Bush tax cuts expire. That wouldn't be a high crime or misdemeanor in anyone's book, but it's not about the crime; it's about the votes: "Obama can sit there and let all the tax [cuts] lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach," he told the National Journal.
They did it to Clinton, and in addition to royally distracting the country from far more important issues (like al Qaida and the mortgage bubble), it blew up in Newt Gingrich's face. But Grover Norquist and the like don't learn from the past. And they seem determined to repeat it.

5- Tom had left about half an hour before Jane arrived.
Is there anything wrong in this sentence, please?
No, but the simple past 'Tom left' is also acceptable.
IMO, it should be
- Tom had left for about half an hour before Jane arrived.
Is it wrong?
It's not very natural. If you want to use 'for', then 'Tom had been gone for half an hour when Jane arrived' is more natural.

Gwyneth Paltrow Movies
Although she initially gained fame for her real-life role as
Brad Pitt
's girlfriend,
Gwyneth Paltrow
went on to build a solid reputation as one of the leading actresses of her generation. Repeatedly summoning comparisons to such classic presences as
Grace Kelly
, the blonde, blue-eyed
has won acclaim for her parts in a number of films, most notably
Shakespeare in Love
, for which she won a Best Actress Oscar in 1999.
The daughter of actress
Blythe Danner
and producer/director
Bruce Paltrow
was born in Los Angeles on September 28, 1972. When she was 11, her family moved to Massachusetts so that her father could direct summer stock productions -- it was there that the actress began to receive theatrical training under her parents' tutelage. Schooled at Manhattan's exclusive Spence School,
went on to study anthropology at the University of California before deciding to drop out to pursue her acting career. She got her first screen role in the 1991 movie
and in the same year she played the young Wendy in
Steven Spielberg
Two years later,
made her first significant impression with a chilling turn as a young con artist in
Flesh and Bone
. She went on to minor but memorable roles in
Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
(1994) and
Jefferson in Paris
(1995) before earning her first true taste of fame with her part as
Brad Pitt
's wife in
(1995). Unfortunately, she got more attention for her status as the actor's girlfriend than for her work in the film, becoming one of the world's most photographed arm ornaments.
However, the actress was able to come into her own the following year with the title role in
Douglas McGrath
's adaptation of
. She won acclaim for her work and her flawless British accent, and the same year she could be seen in two more films:
The Pallbearer
, with
David Schwimmer
, and
Paul Thomas Anderson
Hard Eight
. However, it was not until 1998 -- having broken off her engagement with
the previous year -- that
became better-known for her acting than for her ability to look good in designer evening gowns. That year, she had starring roles in no less than five films. Although both
A Perfect Murder
proved disappointments, and
Great Expectations
received mixed reviews,
's two English excursions, the comedy
Sliding Doors
John Madden
Shakespeare in Love
, netted positive receptions. The latter film drew particular acclaim, eventually winning seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for
The following year, she had the lead in another high-profile project,
Anthony Minghella
The Talented Mr. Ripley
. Starring opposite
Matt Damon
Jude Law
, and
Cate Blanchett
took part in a film that boasted one of the most photogenic collections of young stars that audiences had seen that year and it further enhanced her reputation as one of the most celebrated members of her generation to step in front of a camera. As photogenic as she may be, however,
's healthy sense of humor would give the delicate actress the gusto she needed to take on the role of a 300-pound object of funnyman
Jack Black
's affection in the
brothers' cheerfully offensive
Shallow Hal
in 2001. With roles in
The Anniversary Party
, and
Wes Anderson
The Royal Tenenbaums
that same year,
's versatility and popularity showed no signs of waning - even if the subsequent flight attendant comedy View From the Top didn't even climb high enough at the box office to take a nosedive.
Of course the failure of View From the Top could not be placed squarely on the shoulders of
, and given the film's troubled production history it's a small wonder that the film was released at all. If that film had simply been a glazed-over comedy that gave its starlet little chance to shine,
would close out the year with a commendable and notably heavier performance in Sylvia. A film based on the life of literary legend Sylvia Plath, Sylvia couldn't have been more different than A View From the Top and provided
with a role she could truly sink her teeth into. Both her performance as well as the film itself fared fairly well through the duration of its limited art-house run, despite the fact that Plath's real life daughter Frieda Hughes publicly denounced the endeavor. The film also provided
with the opportunity to appear onscreen opposite her real-life mother Danner, who also played her ill-fated character's mother in the film.
In the wake of her accolades from Sylvia,
closed out 2003 by wedding Coldplay singer Chris Martin. The new family would soon expand five months later with the birth of their first child, a girl they bestowed with the unique moniker Apple Martin. But family life didn't slow
's film career too much. By Autumn she could be seen opposite
Jude Law
in the sci-fi actioner Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and before the close of the year, audiences could catch her in director
John Madden
's Proof. Paltrow played a supporting role in the drama Infamous in (2006), and co-starred with Joaquin Phoenix in the 2008 romantic drama Two Lovers. Paltrow appeared in Iron Man (2008) and Iron Man 2 (2011) as the loyal assistant of zillionaire and hero du jour Tony Stark. The actress played a brief but vital role in Steven Soderbergh's Contagion in 2011, and reprised her role in Iron Man for the summer blockbuster The Avengers in 2012. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Marvel Studios delivers the ultimate comic-book film, which ties together such characters as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) for a big-screen franchise team-up like no other. Taking center stage this time is Nick Fury (played once again by the note-perfect Samuel L. Jackson), leader of the peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury, along with former Russian spy Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), recruits a super team to combat Thor's ever-deceptive brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) after he brainwashes ace archer Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) while stealing a cosmic cube from an underground base. Thus the heroes must learn to work together alongside outlaw scientist Bruce Banner (Ruffalo), who can track down the artifact's gamma signals when he's not hulking out into a giant green monster. Show runner Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) adapted and helmed the script by Zak Penn. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

As Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) owns up to being Iron Man before the world press, Anton Vanko lies dying in Russia. Years ago, Anton worked with Tony's father to create a new source of energy. But greed got the best of Anton, and now as he slips away, his son, Ivan (Mickey Rourke), vows to make Tony pay for the sins of his father. Meanwhile, Tony fends off efforts from smarmy Senator Stern (Garry Shandling) and military weapons expert Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) to get him to divulge the secrets of his powerful Iron Man suit. The powers that be are concerned that Tony's technology may fall into the wrong hands -- fears that are soon confirmed when the cocky billionaire entrepreneur is confronted in front of the entire world by Ivan, who has built his own weapon using stolen Stark blueprints. Later, as Lt. Rhodes (Don Cheadle) wrestles with the decision to personally deliver Tony's suit to the military, Ivan finds an unlikely ally in the quest to destroy Iron Man; Stark Industries legal consultant Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson) reveals her connection to Nick Fury (Samuel L.

It thus tells roughly the same story as Bennett Miller's earlier Capote, recounting the events that belied the writer's six-year authorship of the seminal "nonfiction novel" In Cold Blood. The story opens with Capote (Toby Jones) visiting the site of the 1959 Clutter family homicide, on a Kansas research trip, accompanied by his close friend and colleague, author Harper Lee (Sandra Bullock). As Capote settles into the community, McGrath uses the preponderance of screen time to explore the emotional tapestry of Capote's increasingly risky emotional attachment to one of the two murderers, Perry Edward Smith (Daniel Craig), with whom he senses more than a few common bonds. McGrath weaves a decidedly bittersweet tale, contrasting the optimism and devil-may-care, "conquer all" attitude of Capote in his early years with a seemingly endless string of poor choices in the writer's later years, from addictions to drink and pills, to a failure to maintain healthy output as a writer, to poorly chosen romantic and sexual entanglements. Most significantly, however, McGrath reveals how the relationship with Smith virtually destroyed Capote as an artist and a human being, by inducing him to sell out on all levels to satisfy his lust for accomplishment and notoriety. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Screen newcomer Joseph Cross portrays Augusten Burroughs in director Ryan Murphy's film adaptation of author Burroughs' best-selling personal memoir of the same name. A child of the 1970s whose alcoholic father, Norman (Alec Baldwin), and delusional, unpublished poet mother, Deirdre (Annette Bening), serve as the dictionary definition of the word "dysfunctional," Augusten is sent by his mother to live with her eccentric psychiatrist, Dr. Finch (Brian Cox), when his disagreeable parents ultimately decide to terminate their turbulent marriage. Suddenly thrust into an environment that is as unfamiliar as it is unpredictable, young Augusten forms a curious relationship with the doctor's two whimsical daughters while learning to adapt and survive under even the most unusual of circumstances. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A hyperactive and high-fashion American transplant living in London and working for Vogue magazine does her best to enhance the lives of those around her while remaining blissfully unaware of the man who longs to profess his true love to her in an ultra-modern romantic comedy produced by Luc Besson and David Fincher and directed by Alek Keshishian. Emily Jackson (Brittany Murphy) lives a charmed life. Always on the go in her Mini Cooper and able to talk until the sun comes up and then some, her fast-paced lifestyle belies a sensitive soul who takes great joy in playing matchmaker for her many friends. It's Emily's gay roommate and constant companion, Peter (Matthew Rhys), who usually becomes the subject of the quirky Cupid's frequent pairings, and when handsome new photographer's assistant Paolo (Santiago Cabrera) arrives at the Vogue offices, Emily makes it her mission to bring the two men together. Unfortunately for the contemporary Holly Golightly, Emily is so busy arranging a love connection between Peter and Paolo that she remains completely blind to the obvious torch carried for her by the one suitor who longs to provide her the with the loving companionship that she so cheerfully arranges for others. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A woman struggles to come to terms with the potentially dangerous legacy of her late father in this drama based on the award-winning stage play by David Auburn. Catherine (Gwyneth Paltrow) is a woman in her late twenties who is strongly devoted to her father, Robert (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant and well-known mathematician. While Robert's skill in the world of numbers still appears to be strong, his grip on reality begins to slip away, and as Robert descends into madness, Catherine begins to wonder if she may have inherited her father's mental illness along with his mathematical genius. After Robert's passing, Catherine is confronted by Hal (Jake Gyllenhaal), a gifted but zealous student of Robert's who wants to look through the late man's notes in hopes of finding his last great work. While Catherine is hesitant to look too deeply into her father's work for fear of what it might suggest about her own future, she allows Hal to do so, and when one notebook reveals a mathematical proof of potentially historic proportions, it sets off shock waves in more ways than one. Proof also stars Hope Davis as Catherine's well-meaning but shallow sister, who doubts Catherine's ability to take care of herself. Paltrow had previously played Catherine to stellar reviews during the original play's run in London's West End. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Directed by Kerry Conran, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow revolves around the mysterious disappearance of some of the world's most revered scientists. When an investigation is launched, Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), reporter for the prestigious Chronicle, and Sky Captain (Jude Law), resident flying ace, are at the forefront of the case. Though the mission's perks include traveling around the world, the stout-hearted duo are nonetheless risking their lives with each passing moment, as the culprit is none other than the nefarious Dr. Totenkopf, and his goal, from what they can gather, is to destroying the earth in its entirety. Luckily, Sky Captain and Polly are not alone -- Franky Cook (Angelina Jolie), the commander of an all-female amphibious squadron, and Dex (Giovanni Ribisi), an unparalleled technical genius, have joined them in hopes of saving the planet before it's too late. Laurence Olivier appears posthumously as Dr. Totenkopf, via old film-clips "recycled" (or CG-altered) to fit the dialogue and scenes at hand. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

The life of poet and novelist Sylvia Plath -- one of the most celebrated literary figures of her generation -- is brought to the screen in this controversial screen adaptation. Born in Boston, MA, in 1932, Plath (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) developed a precocious talent as a writer and published her first poem when she was only eight years old. That same year, tragedy introduced itself into her life as Plath was forced to confront the unexpected death of her father. In 1950, she began studying at Smith College on a literary scholarship, and while she was an outstanding student, she also began suffering from bouts of extreme depression; following her junior year, she attempted suicide for the first time. Plath survived, and, in 1955, she was granted a Fulbright Scholarship to study in England at Cambridge. While in Great Britain, Plath met Ted Hughes (Daniel Craig), a respected author who would later become the British Poet Laureate; the two fell in love, and married in 1958. However, marriage, family, and a growing reputation as an important poet failed to bring Plath happiness, and as she became increasingly fascinated with death in her later poetry and her sole novel, The Bell Jar, and after Hughes left her for another woman, her depression went into a tailspin from which she would never fully recover. Sylvia was adapted in part from Birthday Letters, a collection of poems Ted Hughes published in 1998, in which he dealt with his marriage to Plath in print for the first time. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Brazilian filmmaker Bruno Barreto directs this comic look at the world of flight attendants starring Gwyneth Paltrow as Donna, a small town Nevada woman who dreams of seeing the world by becoming a first class international stewardess. Lacking the requisite poise and class, Donna finds a mentor in retired trade veteran Sally (Candice Bergen), a wealthy, best-selling author who assists with advice and her considerable influence. Despite Sally's help, Donna finds the process of fulfilling her career ambitions more difficult than she imagined when she's betrayed by a trusted friend (Christina Applegate) during flight training, a daunting course taught by the bitter John Whitney (Mike Myers), a once-aspiring steward whose eye condition kept him forever out of the friendly skies. Donna also faces a romantic crisis when she falls for a handsome law student (Mark Ruffalo) whose education consigns him to Ohio, far away from the major urban hubs Donna dreams of working.

Directed by actress Rosanna Arquette, this candid documentary is not only about the iconoclastic and somewhat reclusive film star Debra Winger (who does not even appear onscreen until an hour into the film), but also about the trials and tribulations of actresses in Hollywood who have reached "that certain age." In the course of her "search," Arquette interviews several of her colleagues, among them Whoopi Goldberg, Diane Lane, Teri Garr, Holly Hunter, Vanessa Redgrave, Charlotte Rampling, Meg Ryan, and Sharon Stone, all of whom have their own personal horror stories about insensitive producers and casting directors who tend to think of over-40 (and sometimes over-30) actresses as being suitable only for mother, "other woman," and "hero's girlfriend" roles -- when they bother to cast these actresses at all. The women also discuss the difficulties in balancing a successful career and a private life. Test-marketed on the film festival circuit throughout 2002, Searching for Debra Winger received its largest audience when it aired over the Showtime cable channel on August 18, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Mike Myers' phenomenally successful spy spoof gains a few more characters, a slew of celebrity cameos, and even more free-associative laughs in this third installment of the popular franchise. Austin Powers in Goldmember continues the exploits of the swinging-'60s leftover, who, as the film opens, is busy critiquing a big-budget Hollywood production of his life story, replete with a 20-million-dollar star in the lead role and a slew of John Woo-style action scenes. But not far from the soundstage lurks arch nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers), who has opened up a talent agency representing some of the industry's biggest stars -- all the while channeling their profits into a diabolical world-destruction plan with the unfortunate code name Preparation H. Dr. Evil presents a distraction to Austin by kidnapping his similarly swingin' father, Nigel Powers, and transporting him back in time to 1975. Travelling there to save his father -- and in turn win back his dad's sometimes-errant affection -- Austin comes across the alluring superspy Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles). The three of them travel back to the present day, where they join forces to battle Dr. Evil and his posse of nefarious evil-doers, including the trusty clone Mini-Me (Verne Troyer); his snotty son, Scott (Seth Green); the inimitable Fat Bastard (Myers); and the eponymous new addition to the fold: the epidermis-obsessed, precious-metal-fortified Dutchman called Goldmember (Myers). ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

In Neil LaBute's film adaptation of A.S. Byatt's Booker Prize-winning 1990 novel, Aaron Eckhart (who has starred in all of LaBute's films) plays Roland Michell, an American academic researcher, working in London, who discovers some important letters written by a famous Victorian poet, Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam [Gosford Park]). Ash was presumed to have been totally devoted to his wife, but Roland finds letters written to another unnamed woman, and soon determines that the intended recipient was another, less well-known poet, Christabel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle of Sunshine). Roland contacts Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), an expert on LaMotte's life and work, who tells him that LaMotte couldn't have had an affair with Ash because she lived most of her life with a female companion, Blanche Glover (Lena Headey), in what was apparently a romantic relationship. Despite Maud's skepticism, the two begin to investigate, and uncover a wealth of information about the affair between the two poets. Period scenes of the illicit relationship between Ash and LaMotte are intercut with the contemporary investigation of the two academics. Roland and Maud initially fight their attraction to each other, but as the pair find more evidence of the historical and tragic romance, they find themselves overcoming their own resistance to romantic entanglement. Possession was kicked around as a film project for a long time before LaBute became interested. Director Sydney Pollack originally was slated to film a screenplay by David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), who receives a credit on the finished film. When LaBute took over the project years later, he reworked the screenplay with Laura Jones (The Portrait of a Lady). ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Jack Black continues his march to stardom with this typical Farrelly brothers blend of broad comedy and a heartfelt message. Black is Hal Larsen, a shallow man rapidly approaching middle age whose superficiality can be attributed to his father's deathbed admonition to only date young, beautiful women. Hal and his best friend, Mauricio (Jason Alexander), have taken the advice to heart, but Hal finds all of his physically impressive girlfriends consistently lacking in other qualities that would make them ideal mates. When he bumps into self-help guru Tony Robbins (playing himself), the motivational entrepreneur is intrigued by Hal's predicament and hypnotizes him so that he'll only see the inner beauty of women. Hal is quickly smitten with Rosemary Shanahan (Gwyneth Paltrow), a blonde Peace Corps volunteer who's tenderhearted, funny, and intelligent. She is also gorgeous and meets Hal's basic criteria of outer perfection, but what he doesn't realize is that Robbins' spell is working and he cannot see that Rosemary actually weights 300 pounds. When Mauricio is finally able to snap Hal out of his charmed state, Hal's in love with the inwardly perfect woman and must overcome his obsession with beauty. The script for Shallow Hal (2001) was developed when Peter Farrelly enjoyed the humorous letters written to a mutual friend by Sean Moynihan, a computer software executive who followed the filmmaker's advice to take up screenwriting. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Director Wes Anderson and his longtime friend and writing partner Owen Wilson follow up Bottle Rocket (1996) and Rushmore (1998) with this similarly offbeat comedy about a dysfunctional family reunion. Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was a successful attorney who had three children with his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston), an archaeologist. Each of the Tenenbaum kids was a precocious genius: Chas (Ben Stiller) made a killing as a child investor. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior tennis champ and three-time U.S. Nationals winner. The adopted Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright who won a 50,000-dollar Braverman Grant in the ninth grade. When Royal abruptly left his family, however, it was the beginning of two decades of betrayal and failure that would scar the Tenenbaums for life. Their past resentments are bitterly held against Royal when he suddenly reappears, claiming to have six weeks to live and a desire to reconnect with his family. Typically, Royal's story is a sham, but his presence and sincere desire for absolution soon have a profound effect on the Tenenbaums, who are each dealing with thwarted desires and relationships. Among them are Richie's lifelong love for Margot, who's unhappily married to Raleigh St.Clair (Bill Murray) and Etheline's eccentric engagement to Henry Sherman (Danny Glover), who wishes to marry her. The Royal Tenenbaums also co-stars Owen Wilson and features narration provided by Alec Baldwin. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Director Bruce Paltrow teams with his Oscar-winning daughter Gwyneth Paltrow for this road comedy with music. Paltrow plays Liv, a struggling professional singer whose meets her father, Ricky Dean (Huey Lewis), for the first time at the funeral of her mother. As it turns out, both Liv and Ricky supplement the income from few-and-far-between gigs by singing in karaoke contests, and soon father and daughter are competing on the same circuit. Meanwhile, Todd Woods (Paul Giamatti), a salesman who has grown disenchanted with his job, his family, and his life, picks up a hitch-hiker named Reggie Kane (Andre Braugher), and during a stop at a tavern, they discover they make a good duet team while belting out a version of "Try A Little Tenderness." And waitress Suzi Loomis (Maria Bello) sweet talks Billy (Scott Speedman), a cabbie, into driving her to Omaha, where the national karaoke finals will determine who does the best job of singing along with the records, as the lives of these six characters begin to intersect. Duets also features Angie Dickinson as Blair, Liv's grandmother who was once a showgirl in Frank Sinatra's Las Vegas floorshow; Brad Pitt was originally cast in Speedman's role but withdrew after he and Paltrow announced the end of their off-camera relationship. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Getting Started
Remember those days of counting calories to make sure you could fit into your favorite jeans? Well now that you're breastfeeding, you can give that calorie counter a break. That's because breastfeeding requires some additional calories—up to 500 more per day than you ate before you were pregnant. Just make sure those extra calories come from nutritious foods.
But before you dig into that slice of chocolate cheesecake, keep in mind that 500 calories really isn't that much. In fact, it's about the amount of calories in a small fast-food shake. You can get more food—and a lot more nutrition—for your extra calories by skipping those shakes and other high-calorie, low-nutrient foods and choosing basic whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, lean meats and poultry, low-fat milk or yogurt and whole grains.
Moms who are breastfeeding exclusively have a greater need for key nutrients, but you can meet most of your needs just by eating a well-balanced diet. For the average breastfeeding mom, that means a daily diet that includes the following food groups and amounts*:
* These amounts are for an average breastfeeding woman. You may need more or less than the average. Check with your health care provider to make sure you are losing the weight you gained during pregnancy.
There are also certain nutrients you should pay extra attention to, especially if you are vegetarian or restrict one or more food groups.
The nutrients, and examples of foods that they can be found in, include:
Calcium: milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products Zinc: beef, pork, dark meat chicken, peanuts, peanut butter, and legumes B6: chicken, fish, pork, whole grains and legumes B12: meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products Folate: leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits and juices and fortified cereals and breads Vitamin D: milk and other vitamin D fortified products
If you think that you aren't meeting your nutrient needs, or have any questions talk to your health care provider, who may have you continue taking the prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement you took while pregnant.
Instead of eating all those extra calories at once, spread them out throughout the day. For instance, add one or two small snacks between meals to help keep your energy level up. If you need a portable snack to take to work or while running errands, try some whole-wheat crackers, a granola bar, or fruit that's easy to eat on the go, such as a banana.
While it may be tempting to cut calories to quickly take off those pregnancy pounds, it's best not to follow strict weight loss diets while breastfeeding. Cutting your calories too low can affect your milk supply and deprive your body of the nutrients it needs. Talk to your health care provider or a Registered Dietitian before starting any diet or exercise program.
Learn more about nutritious choices for breastfeeding moms.

"I had a wonderful host family experience. They treated me so well and really made my experience in Chile wonderful."
—Program alum
Students on this program have two homestay experiences: an eight-week homestay in Santiago, and a shorter rural homestay with an indigenous Mapuche family in Valle de Elicura. In addition to practicing their Spanish language skills, students will gain insight into the rich cultural dynamics of each family and experience the contrasts between urban and rural lifestyles.
Santiago Homestay
During their time in Santiago, students stay with host families and experience urban life in Chile's fast-paced modern capital city. Host families offer valuable insight into the impact globalization is having on professional urban lives and on their cultural identity. Most homestay families live in residential neighborhoods outside of downtown Santiago, approximately 30 minutes from the SIT office site.
Mapuche Homestay
While visiting the Mapuche territory in southern Chile, students spend a few days living with rural indigenous families in Valle de Elicura. In contrast to the urban lifestyle found in Santiago, students will experience the slower pace of rural life in a community with only a few hundred families. They will observe the strong social and cultural bonds within a Mapuche community that is dependent on agriculture and on the collective hard work of its residents. During this period, students will explore Mapuche culture, including cultural preservation and history, as well as the impact of megaprojects, such as hydroelectric dams.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels and small hotels.

Whether you've been to Venice two or 20 times, there's always something new to discover. Indeed, even the most seasoned visitors get lost in the city's labyrinthine network of islands, bridges, pedestrian alleys, and canals. And therein lies the beauty of the destination: afternoons spent wandering from palace to piazza, exploring the small art museums, shopping the stalls that line the streets, and encountering a fresh side of Venice, a fascinating amalgamation of influences—Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Italian—every time you round a corner.

text: Marburg Fever: Epidemic Still Not Under ControlMay 2, 2005It has been six weeks since the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed an outbreak of Marburg fever in Angola. Today, the epidemic is still not under control, and as of April 30 there have been 271 deaths out of 301 confirmed cases. The disease has also taken a heavy toll on medical staff, claiming the lives of at least 19 Angolan health professionals. The situation is still quite alarming. More dead are collected every day for burial in the city of Uige, the epicenter of the epidemic. Since the alert was given, a new focal point has emerged in the hospital of Songo, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Uige. Many problems remain unsolved and new difficulties arise every day. Last week, three patients with Marburg fever died in separate wards of the Uige Hospital, indicating how the infection control system established there has not been sufficiently effective. Following a request from health authorities, Doctors Without Borders/Mèdecins Sans Frontiéres (MSF) will take on more responsibility for infection control in order to better protect patients and medical staff. All wards will be disinfected and a stringent triage will be introduced in order to temporarily restrict new hospital admissions to life-saving emergencies only. As a consequence of these new measures, neighboring health centers will need to accommodate the overflow of patients and treat those with illnesses other than Marburg fever. Local health authorities and the WHO also need to improve their system of identifying suspected cases, and follow up with those who have been in contact with infected patients. Educating people in these communities about the disease and its prevention is vital in controlling the epidemic. Families and patients must therefore receive a great deal of support from local authorities, medical teams, and all other relevant organizations working in their communities. Aggressive actions and threats to families will only lead to more fear and stigmatization, and only intensify the situation. MSF has 55 international volunteers working in Angola to address the outbreak, including treatment wards for people infected with Marburg in Uige, Songo, Negage, and Luanda. These centers allow MSF teams to isolate patients and properly tend to them. MSF teams have been instrumental in transporting patients to hospitals and carrying out burials following the strictest bio-protection measures. Sensitivity training is also being stepped up so these public health measures may be better communicated to people in the affected areas. Tags: Angola, Vaccination Campaign, Marburg |

I can't believe I've been away from my blog for so long. Especially since I started this blog in January 2011 after learning my family and I were going overseas to live for 3 years. Since then I've shared posts about military life, creating a home, my world as a mother and various moments in my life. However, when it came down to the actual move and our transition to life in Madrid, I found myself unable to write about my experience. Not knowing where to start, I probably would have just set aside this blog if it wasn't for my dear friend, Katie of NNY Life, a fellow writer and very missed friend from New York. Through her help, I realized how much I miss writing and how this blog is more necessary then ever.
In the beginning, the Army was sending us to Portugal and I was incredibly excited by the opportunity. Tom and I had been trying to get an overseas assignment for over 10 years and it seemed the Army Gods finally decided to smile upon us. However, in a few months the Army changed it's mind and we learned our orders were on hold and we were going to Madrid.
This wasn't welcome news. My family and I love coastal living and we had spent hours combing through information and photographs about Lisbon. We found schools, neighborhoods, a playgroup and even made a list of places we must visit in those early months. While Madrid is certainly a unique European city and a popular tourist destination, it just didn't feel right to me. I was disappointed and for the first time in my husband's career, I asked him to seek a different assignment. Others thought I was insane and part of me thought I was too. I started spouting off all the incredible opportunities my family would have in Madrid and I always nodded encouragingly when others commented on how excited I must be to move to such an exotic city.
But I was right. Madrid has been a hard transition, one difficult to share since so much of my experience is still fresh and even ongoing. When we arrived we had a car service take us to an apartment we rented in the city of Madrid. On paper it seemed ideally situated: minutes from the metro, within walking distance to amazing sites in the city, and in what was described as a vibrant part of the city, Chueca. The apartment was modern and beautiful, with two bedrooms and a kitchen that possibly prevented the starvation of my little family. Unfortunately, I also arrived three months pregnant and incredibly sick. Nausea followed me everywhere and a month of living with family and traveling back and forth across the United States had not helped. I was grouchy, exhausted, and frustrated, but I kept on pushing through everything, determined to make Madrid wonderful.
Our street in Madrid.
Only this time my methods weren't working. Even though we lived within walking distance of some of the most loved parts of the city, I could not find anything to connect with, something vital when constantly moving. To start with, Chueca, while a great neighborhood to visit, is not the best to place for a young family used to their beautiful Northern New York home with a sprawling backyard. Restaurants and bars were everywhere and drunken shouts and laughter drifted through our windows until nearly 4:00 am. I was sick from the moment I woke until the moment I fell asleep and found myself constantly up and down with Regan who was restless and waking more than ever. Seeking relief, I would throw open my windows to the smell of pee, garbage, and stale cooking. I dreaded leaving the apartment, but I couldn't hunker down. I had two girls and a husband wanting to get out and a family to feed. We wandered the city, visiting some of the more beautiful sites and walking the streets, but so much was forced for me. Our long metro rides to and from Tom's work were exhausting and almost impossible with my nausea and two little girls. But I did it. Looking back, I probably should have just sat down and cried (and I did a couple of times, after sending Tom and the girls out to find something for dinner). It may not have helped, but I would have felt much better.
Meals became one of the biggest obstacles our family faced. I was sick and cooking made me gag, so I hoped to use the extra money we received for food to eat out as much as possible. Before moving to Spain, I read about restaurants closing at 4:30 pm and not opening again until 8 or 9 at night, but I thought it was a few select restaurants. I was mistaken, as we discovered our first evening in Spain. We explored the streets, searching for somewhere to eat, but found nothing available except bars and I wasn't taking my girls and my pregnant belly into a bar. So we ended up with sandwiches from Starbucks. Only they weren't that delicious…hmm, I thought. That's odd. Everything in Spain is supposed to be delicious, right? Even Starbuck's food. Except that it wasn't. After several expensive meals of wasted food and even tears from my little girls, we realized it was best to feed everyone at home, shopping from the little grocery and market (Mercado) around the corner. So pushing down the vomit in the back of my throat, I cooked everyday and thanked the idea fairy that had me throw that jar of peanut butter into my suitcase the day before flying.
(In all fairness, we did find a little cafe/deli/take away next door to our apartment that offered tasty sandwiches, salads, and desserts. The owner had lived in Boston for 26 years…so maybe that explains the appeal of his food. Many times Tom would go over and get food for the two of us while I put the girls to bed then crashed in a nauseous heap on our own bed.The owner loved seeing Tom walk through the door and often sent him home with free, fresh, icy lemonade for me and custard for the girls. We will happily visit Diurno cafe for some sandwiches and fresh smoothies every time we're in the area.)
The truth is that I have yet to become comfortable in Spain. We have seen some beautiful places, walked down amazing streets, and splashed on a pristine beach. And while I've captured those moments on camera and tried to write about them, it all felt fake without the truth about how I'm feeling about Spain right now. I have met some interesting, caring people to include the Kenyan man selling papers outside our grocery in Chueca, our apartment building manager who absolutely adored the girls, and the many established American's who've made this transition a little easier. E and R both love their schools and Tom is getting settled at work and taking to Spain far better than I am. Still, I don't feel comfortable. This is not common for me. I have moved 17 times in my adult life and this is my 14th with Tom. I know what to do to make a new home. I have a method, a way of throwing myself into a community, but it is really difficult here; I cannot manage to overcome this slump. Maybe it is because I miss the little life we made for ourselves in Northern New York so much, maybe it is because I made that fateful decision to study German in high school and French in college (both of which I speak very, very poorly), or maybe I just have the wrong attitude about the whole experience, but I'm trying. I swear.
And I'll continue to try to make a little home here…maybe blogging about our adventures and some of the more hilarious moments will make me feel better about our experience. So check back next week as I share our last days in the United States and our first two months in Spain. I obviously failed at this, but hope to make it up soon! I hope that some of my readers can learn something from my experience and maybe make some better decisions (like yes, take advantage of the free version of Rosetta Stone offered by the military and learn some of your host country's native language), but I also hope that I find some assurance that I simply did the best I could.

About this departmental guidance
This is non-statutory guidance from the Department for Education relating to best practice on developing school uniform policy. There is no legislation in place that deals specifically with school uniform or other aspects of appearance, but we do expect schools to take full account of this guidance.
References within this advice to the role of the governing body should be taken to include the academy trust (or the local governing body of the academy where the academy trust delegates these responsibilities), in the case of academies.
Expiry or review date
This guidance updates the department's previous guidance on school uniform, published in May 2012 but now with greater emphasis on securing best value for money in the supply of school uniforms. It will be reviewed again in the summer of 2015.
Who is this guidance for?
This advice is for:
- School leaders, school staff and governing bodies in all maintained schools and academies
- Local authorities
Key points
- This guidance sets out those aspects that school leaders and governing bodies will need to consider when developing and implementing their school uniform policy.
- Greater emphasis is placed on considering the cost and availability of the uniform when making contracting decisions.
- Governing bodies are expected to demonstrate transparency and best value for money when appointing suppliers.

Current & Upcoming Films
FRAMELINE 37: Soongava—Dance of the Orchids
DIRECTOR: Subarna Tharpe
Last year Frameline presented the first Thai film to deal with a lesbian love affair. This year we show the first film from Nepal to do so, a film featuring a lush but dangerous romance. Kiran and Diya, female college students in Kathmandu, are best friends on the verge of becoming lovers. The graceful Diya aspires to be a traditional Nepali dancer. She goes along with an arranged engagement to a same-caste man to please her old-fashioned parents. But Kiran loves to watch Diya dance and isn't shy about her desire for her.
In their middle-class society, they have to be alone to express their true feelings, and a gushing waterfall is the perfect place for their trysts and quarrels. But as their romance blossoms and family pressures build, even the law becomes involved, wreaking havoc on Diya's new job and the lovers' living situation. Meanwhile, a new complication forces Diya and Kiran's hand. As in traditional dance, the taboo lover expresses passion in a tightly controlled regime. Filmmaker Subarna Thapa boldly crafts a sensuous and tension-filled film, reminding us that it doesn't always get better when a community feels disgraced by a passionate love affair.
This film contains graphic depictions of homophobic and sexual violence.

DHAKA: Taking fish oil capsules may help improve outcomes for kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis by reducing cardiovascular complications, says a scientist at Lawson Health Research Institute.Hemodialysis can be delivered through arteriovenous (AV) grafts, artificial vessels created to join an artery to a vein. Unfortunately, AV grafts are prone to congestion and clotting, causing disruptions to treatment and a need for surgical correction.Research suggests fish oil could prevent AV grafts from clotting and reduce related cardiovascular events. In a new multi-centre, randomized clinical trial, Dr. Louise Moist of Lawson Health Research Institute and her colleagues followed patients undergoing hemodialysis using new AV grafts for 12 months after creation.Patients were assigned to daily doses of either four fish oil capsules, or four placebo capsules. They found that those patients taking fish oil experienced a lower rate of graft failure, with half as many grafts lost to clotting.The amount of time until clotting occurred increased, and fewer corrective interventions were required. In addition, those taking fish oil had lower blood pressure, and lower rates of heart attacks, heart failure and other cardiac-related events. "This study provides very exciting results," said Dr. Moist."Fish oil did not fix all the problems with grafts but it reduced the number of costly, time consuming procedures for patients already receiving a very burdensome treatment with dialysis. It is not often we have such encouraging results that benefit patients` quality of life and reduce health care costs," she noted.Dr. Moist and her colleagues are now planning a second study focusing more intensely on blood pressure and cardiovascular events as related to fish oil.She is hopeful these results could provide a safer way to avoid cardiovascular complications and extend the patency of the graft during hemodialysis.The trial was led by Dr. Charmaine Lok at Toronto General Hospital, and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Physicians Services Incorporated (PSI) Foundation. Detail of the study will be released in the Journal of the American Medical Association.BDST: 1116 HRS, JULY 02, 2012Edited by: Quamrun Nahar Shumi, Newsroom Editor/Tania Afrin, Newsroom Editor

Comments about Sea to Summit Hook Release 3/4 inch Accessory Straps - Pair:
The first set was an impulse buy thinking they'd be easier to deal with than bungie in keeping some extra poles and the "garage" for my Hobitat lashed to the Hobitat bag. The hook type closure works well and I don't think it would break as easy as a plastic side release buckle. Since then I've added another set to my pack as additional compression and to lash stuff I don't want in it to the outside. There's really not a lot else to say other than they work well for their intended purpose.

Proceeds benefit "The Keys to Degrees Program"
The Keys to Degrees program is a true gem at Endicott College. Not only am I given an opportunity to grow as a successful student, but I am able to grow as a parent. I have been able to remain an active participant in school activities such as chorus and theater, been inducted into the Kappa Delta Pi honors society, and have used everything I've learned in my Education courses at home with my sweet and caring daughter. I feel so blessed to be able to live on such a beautiful and supportive campus. This program contributes to this school in more ways than one!

BELLINGHAM - A small water utility in northeast Bellingham has already improved its accounting after receiving a warning letter from the State Auditor's Office.
Two issues of concern raised by the state for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 weren't considered more serious "findings," in part because Whatcom County Water District No. 7 was making progress toward compliance after the two-year accountability audit, said Kelly Collins, deputy director of state and local audits.
"There's a lot of upgrades and changes being made there, and it sounds like they're slowly making progress toward getting better from an accounting standpoint, as well as operations," Collins said.
Both concerns were a consequence of the water district's small size, Collins said. The three-member board of commissioners hired an outside company, Water System Services, to manage the district's system. The board gave the company's owner, Dave Olson, the title of district manager.
The board did not review Olson's work sufficiently to ensure that district funds were not misspent, according to an Auditor's Office management letter dated Dec. 6, 2012. Olson reviewed all invoices, including those written for his business, the letter said. There was no evidence of mishandling of funds.
The Auditor's Office was especially strict during 2010-11 because the water district was making major improvements to its system, replacing water mains, adding a tank and rebuilding water pumps, Olson said.
"I was overseeing more work than is usually the case," he said.
Olson's company did none of the construction work, which was all awarded through competitive bidding, he said.
Secondly, the Auditor's Office asked the district to change its practice of having one part-time employee read meters, do the billing, receive payments, make deposits and adjust accounts - all without adequate oversight. The district was unable to detect missing money quickly enough, the letter said.
"Every district that has one person gets the same standard response," Olson said. The board of commissioners enacted a policy just this month requiring a third party to verify the district's revenue reports, he said.
The water district has not had a finding in an accountability audit over the past 10 years, the Auditor's Office said. The district serves customers east of Britton Road and had revenues of $443,000 in 2010 and $459,000 in 2011.
