Gangster Squad
Mickey Cohen (Penn) has LA by the balls. With the crime boss controlling police and judges, who can stop him? Answer: a team of fearless cops who go by the name of the Gangster Squad.

Sean Penn's not been this fun since Jeff Spicoli and there's plenty of rip-roaring action, but Gangster Squad proves a minor entry in the annals of LA noir.

Warning: do not go to this movie expecting godfather styled storytelling or road to Pedition subtlety, you will only leave disappointed. What younwill get though is a fantastic over the top stylish piece of Friday night entertainment with wonderful performances and sizzling chemistry. Some of the action set pieces will blow you away. True, it bringsbnothing new to the mobster genre, but franks itnupnto a new level. Highly recommended. ... More

In 1948, post-World War 2 Los Angeles, gangster Mickey Cohen has become the most powerful figure in the California criminal underworld, and intends to continue to expand his criminal enterprise to Chicago and New York. The police have not been able to stop Cohen's ruthless rise, as Cohen has eliminated witnesses and bribed both the court and the police, controlling both illegal and legal sides of L.A.

Well...Im not sure what I think about this really. First off - it is quite a forgetable film with for me, no real stand out scenes. Secondly, I thought the script was a little dodgy "here comes saaaannndddaaaa cllaaauuusss" BUT it was entertaining in parts but actually felt like a poor mans untouchables as others have said. Probably just the 2 to 3 stars for me. Shame. ... More

I probably agree with the Empire review all round here, after watching this Film yesterday, although it probably uses just about every cliche from most Gangster movies ever made, which I suppose was to be expected, its not a bad Film overall, and is indeed a very good storyline, which is based on actual events, I thought some of the acting was WAY over the top, and the Gunfights just went on forever( hence my title above ) I came out of the Cinema feeling quite entertained overall....... ...

|Typical January fare
I can see why it was pushed back to the month of the film rosters where no-one expects much at all. Gangster Squad really is a piece of pulpy, superfluous gaff. There isn't a single moment when it doesn't feel utterly superficial and wholly unrelatable to anything representing real life. There was a point 45 mins when I was actually predicting every plot point that would follow and depressingly, everyone came true. Ugh. This is lazy screenwriting 101, its an outdated Untouchables wannabe that h... More

Despite featuring some of the most clichéd dialogue I've ever heard, I had enormous fun. Engaging characters and sporadic bursts of gleeful violence compensate for the tropes nicely. Gangster Squad revels in its body-count. ... More

An all action, zero filler gangster romp. Scenes rarely last more than a couple of minutes and every line of dialogue is the bare minimum of what needs to be said, but as long as you're not going in expecting a Scorsese picture you should have plenty of fun. The 32% RT rating is harsh. ... More

|RE: Gangster Squad
Quite disappointing considering the heavyweight cast and subject matter. Unfortunately, it's pretty much a straight rip off of 'The Untouchables' without an ounce of the style or fun. Every cliche is covered and all the characters are totally underwritten. In fact, the whole thing felt underwritten like the makers were just ticking all the boxes as they went without really taking the time to flesh things out. Penn has some fun chewing the scenery but the rest of the cast are badly served by... More

As my first 'proper' video, I wanted "Poohsticks" to be an introduction to the Golden Rabbit world, to show my roots and what was at the core of my creation.
I was born in Loughborough (371 Park Road to be precise), Leicestershire and spent most of my life there before chasing dreams down to London eight years ago.
The Great Central Railway was a favourite haunt as a child and we went there often to watch the steam trains.
This is me and my brother (2nd and 3rd from the right) with his friends…..
and messing about on the trains……
This and my fathers love of antiques has left a fond spot in my heart for the by-gone era and, seeing as "Poohsticks" was originally written on a train up to Manchester (when I lived in Nottingham), I started to conjure up a concept for the video.
It would be a tale of two halves, the light and the dark shades of two plains colliding. The residue of a love lossed, hanging around for eternity, like a sticky web to be caught in.
The other location I had in mind was Swithland reservoir. With it's vast waters, gothic towers and viaduct arches where the steam trains pass over (this would link the two worlds together), it was a stark contrast to the quaint station with it's brightly coloured decoration. I had cycled a round this place so many times, spent lazy summer days picnicking and pretending to be in Europe somewhere (such was the essence of the place), I knew it well.
I wanted to find a director from back home because I thought they would have a better connection with what I was trying to do. I put out the feelers with some old contacts and the first person to respond was Timo Chesney from Nottingham (adding another connection to the story). We emailed a few times and spoke on the phone but instantly, I felt he was on my wave-length and understood what I was trying to convey. He actually did an amazing job of deciphering my loose 2D vision and turned it into a living entity of it's own.
Two weeks later, we shot the video.

Part Two coming soon……..x
…….Seeing as this was England and shot on location, the weather could have been a lot worse, but we could have done with a bit more sun.
Luckily, when we had finished our train scenes and drove up to the Kinchley Lane Bridge, she made a brief appearance. Just in time for the "rabbit ears" transformation!
We only had one shot at most of the train scenes because of the timetable, so, once the train had passed under the bridge, we jumped back in the car to get to the other side of the reservoir in time for the last train of the day.
I was disappointed to see how low the water line was at first. It is a vast amount of water when it's full, which looks impressive but it was also sad to see it in a such sorry state of affairs.
However, once I realised what the shrinking shoreline meant in practical terms for us, our filming took on a whole new adventure……
For a start, it meant we could get closer to the viaduct where the train crosses for the shots with the lace 'sunbrella' (as I like to call it)……….
Some of the shoots accessories.
It was about an eight minute trek over the soft mud, sand and stones around the reservoir's edge. Timo and Pete headed off first to find the best spot whilst I scrambled around in the back of the car, changing into the black vintage dress and altering hair and make-up.
The last train had already left Birstall station and was on it's way back to us, so time was pressing. If we missed this one, we had missed the only chance to get a very important shot, the one tying the two halves of the story together.
Being a bit of an adventurer (tomboy tendencies?), I had no trouble getting over the 5.5ft high railings and stone wall, even in a delicate dress (good job I'd packed some flat ballet pumps though!) I told Alison I'd see her there and then pegged it through the scrubs and nettles, out onto the open damp plains to find the boys.
I was so thrilled on my way to meet them, as I saw some quite surreal piles of rocks, huge clam shells washed up onto shore and beautiful red rushes en route. All unexpected treasures for us to play with later.
We actually made it in good time and had to wait for a few minutes for the train to come. As this was the last train shot, it was good to have a few moments to rehearse the angles and to also release some of the pressure the trains schedules had held upon us all day.
After the sunbrella scene, we got a call from Alison (baring in mind around half an hour had passed and there was no sign of her) saying that she had got stuck and was going to wait with the car.
The power of three was creating magic though, so we continued on our quest.

Final part coming soon……..x
…..The origami rabbits fitted perfectly in the clam shells we found on the shore's edge. As if they were tailor -made. As I paddled into the water to release them, I was a little bit freaked out by the black tar like mud that had me sinking deeper than I liked! Probably a good thing as it stopped my urges to go in too deep.
We then moved back to where the wilds had grown up in the new, uncovered soil. It was like a gorgeous English meadow. The light of the late afternoon was amazing as we shot through the red rushes. We found out afterwards that it may have been wild Japanese knot weed, not a good thing apparently as it spreads quickly and causes damage. Bad things have a habit of looking good on the outside though, don't they?:0/
The day was drawing in on us so we found our way back to the car. We made sure Alison was ok before saying our goodbyes to her, as she had a prior engagement, then we headed off to our final location at the other end of the water.
Once again, we couldn't believe our luck as we stumbled across the dried up overflow under the bridge. And how fortuitous that someone else had found it before us and had kindly spray painted gold hearts on to the walls and also sprayed some empty glass bottles for me to take home as a momento. I'm a sucker for those. Momentos AND bottles in fact.
It was another fine example of how going with the flow (or, overflow in this case) brought us so much luck and added so much more to the story than we could have ever imagined.
The acoustics were amazing so we filmed a little a cappella between the takes…..
It was next to the Gothic water tower, a.k.a: my mysterious-man's-mysterious-dwelling, where we shot the final scenes. I loved the padlock and ancient cobwebs in the doorway - which perfectly sealed the confusion of where he had disappeared to.
The whole day, I had felt like Zelda finding the hidden treasure chests and lifting the prize up in the air - whoop!!!
It was 8pm by the time we rapped up and headed of into the sunset….. to the nearby Old Bulls Head pub in Woodhouse Eaves - one of my family's regular haunts and a benefit to shooting in a place you know well :0)
As we ate dinner, we were exhausted, but there was some sort of resonating energy we had unleashed that day that filled us with awe. A rather jam packed and hectic shoot was turned into an absolute pleasure and fun adventure! Everything had fallen into place and maybe as a reward for our thorough forward planning, for being on the same wave length or just for letting the magic guide us, gifts were laid out before us to make our story easier to tell.
I truly didn't want to leave the wonderland behind. I eventually caught a late, modern day train back to Landan town, buzzing on our natural high and reminiscing all the way. "Poohsticks" was written on a train all those years ago, and it's story finally ended on that train home.

The Men in Christ's Life: Blind Bartimaeus
- Wednesday, January 16, 2008
— Mark 10:46-52
What have I learned from blind Bartimaeus:
1. You must acknowledge you need healing.
Bartimaeus knew he needed healing. He had been on the side of this road many times, begging for money, for food. I can't believe that anyone would want this type of life. To sit day after day, praying someone would give you something to eat. Perhaps this day you might have only gotten scraps. Scraps not even fit for a dog. Or maybe it's a day you get an apple, a fig or something cold to drink. Maybe, just maybe, you get really blessed and someone throws you a coin. I pray Bartimaeus catches it before someone else sees it. Can you see Bartimaeus scrambling to find the coin in the dirt as if his life depends on it? But wait, his life does depend on it.
So what about your life? Would you rather stay where you are? Trying day by day to get by? Just enough money to pay the bills, or just enough of serving God to make him happy or just enough kindness to strangers so you have done your "part"?
Bartimaeus taught me that it isn't enough. At some point in time you need to stop this madness. At some point in time you need to acknowledge that you don't want to stay where you are, that you are ready for change. Bartimaeus was ready to change.
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
— Mark 10:47
2. You must know where to get the healing.
Bartimaeus knew who the Great Physician was. He knew that Jesus could heal him, even instantly. He didn't demand Christ to heal him, but instead in humility asked him for mercy.
Sometimes we talk to God likes he's Santa Claus. OK, God, here is what I want. Now give it to me. In fact, I think we are even teaching our kids, nieces, nephews, etc. the same principle. No one seems to know the value of work, of waiting and being patient, of being obedient. Bartimaeus had obviously heard of Jesus and who he was. He knew he could heal him. But at the same time, based on how he asked him, he also knew it might not be God's will to heal him.
Is there something in your life that you have ask God to heal you from? Something you have ask for? Maybe a spouse, a better job, better home, etc.? How are you asking for it? Bartimaeus taught me that God is the only one who can give me what I need. The only one who can cure me of anything. But all things must be asked in his will … with patience and humility
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
— Mark 10:47
3. Don't ever let anyone stop you from speaking the truth, especially when God has revealed it to you already.
I get so tired of people telling me what I should do or should say. Most people speak things to me because of their own fears, of their own experiences. People, understand that God had told Bartimaeus of who He was. Bartimaeus had every right to shout out to Jesus. He wasn't shouting to be rude, but realized they were outside and there was a crowd. He had to shout to get Jesus' attention. Now did Jesus know what Bartimaeus was thinking before he shouted? Sure. I mean Bartimaeus could have whispered or touched his cloak like others, and Jesus would have known. However, this wasn't about Jesus knowing Bartimaeus needed healing, but it was about teaching us today of where we need to go for the healing. It was about letting others know of our faith. It's about letting others see our worship, our submission, our humility.
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
— Mark 10:48
4. It's OK to be sad when we aren't where we want to be, however, happiness is based on circumstances and joy is based on our relationship with Christ.
Based on the men who told Bartimaeus to rise to his feet and cheer up, Bartimaeus must have been sad. I mean, wouldn't you be, too? When you spin (stay in the same place in life and never change), it can bring sadness in your life, even depression. I am sure Bartimaeus must have felt both.

This Virginia Medicare Buyers guide was written to help those who are eligible for Original Medicare and are considering purchasing a Medicare Supplement or "Medigap" policy. A Virginia Medicare Supplement or Medigap policy is health insurance sold by private insurance companies to fill gaps in the Original Medicare Plan coverage.
Virginia Medigap policies can help pay your share of your medical expenses such as coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles of Medicare-covered services. Some Medigap policies cover certain costs not covered by the Original Medicare Plan.
Quick Review of the Virginia Medicare Program
Medicare is health insurance for people 65 or older, those under 65 with certain disabilities, and those of any age with End-Stage Renal Disease. Medicare will cover many health care services and supplies, but there are many costs or "gaps" that it wont cover.
Basic Parts of Virginia Medicare
Types of coverage that are NOT Virginia Medigap policies
What do I need to know if I want to buy a Virginia Medigap policy?
When you buy a Virginia Medigap policy, in most cases you will need to already be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B. Therefore, you will have to continue to pay the monthly Medicare Part B premium. You will also have to pay a premium to the Medigap insurance company. You can buy a Medigap policy from any insurance company that is licensed in Virginia to help you enroll.
All new Virginia Medigap policies are guaranteed renewable. This means the insurance company cannot cancel your Medigap policy as long as you pay your premiums. Although some Medigap policies sold in the past covered prescription drugs, no new Medigap policies are allowed to include prescription drug coverage. If you want prescription drug coverage, you may want to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan known as Part D, which is offered by private companies approved by Medicare.
When is the best time to buy a Virginia Medigap policy?
The best time to buy a Virginia Medigap policy is during your Medigap open enrollment period. This period lasts for 6 months and begins on the first day of the month in which you are both age 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this period, an insurance company cant use medical underwriting. This means it cant refuse to sell you any Medigap policy it sells, make you wait for coverage to start, or charge you more for a Medigap policy because of your health problems.
While the insurance company cant make you wait for your coverage to start, it may be able to make you wait for coverage of a pre-existing condition. A pre-existing condition is a health problem you have before the date a new insurance policy starts. In some cases, the Medigap insurance company can refuse to cover your out-of-pocket costs for health problems for up to 6 months. This is called a "pre-existing condition waiting period."
If you have a pre-existing condition, and you buy a Virginia Medigap policy during your Medigap open enrollment period and if you recently had creditable health coverage, the insurance company must shorten or eliminate this waiting period.
There are many types of Virginia health care coverage that may count as creditable coverage for Medigap policies, but they will only count if you didnt have a break in coverage. A break in coverage means you are without any creditable health coverage for more than 63 days in a row.
Why is it important to buy a Medigap policy when I am first eligible?
It is important to understand your Medigap open enrollment period. During your Medigap open enrollment period you can buy any Medigap policy the company sells. If you apply for coverage outside of your Medigap open enrollment period, there is no guarantee that an insurance company will sell you a Medigap policy unless you are eligible for other reasons, and even then your choices will most likely be limited. Also, after your Medigap open enrollment period ends, Medigap insurance companies are allowed to use medical underwriting to decide whether to accept your application and how much to charge you for the Medigap policy.

A word from Oasis
Oasis is a beautiful oceanfront location that showcases the best of what Kauai has to offer in cuisine, service and ocean views. We strongly believe that residents and guests of Hawaii want to experience Hawaii. We use local sources for almost 90% of our ingredients, and work closely with Kauai"s farmers and fishermen to provide you with the best and freshest possible ingredients. We work to highlight the quality and freshness of our ingredients in a style that captures the diversity of local cultures and influences without burying the delicious flavors that our local ingredients offer.Continued

- Full and Half PortionsPTWithyVIPDined on 10/18/2014The food was fabulous, being able to get half portions let us sample several dishes in on sitting. Farmer's curry with local fish of the day was the tops! Service was very attentive, too. We were dining on the open air lanai as Hurricane Ana approached and the staff was careful to adjust the glass partitions to block the wind from sweeping across our table, but at the same time allow a breeze through to keep us cool.Special Features:
- Always fresh and newUbcool2Dined on 10/17/2014I love the location- one of the few ocean view restaurants. The food is all harvested fresh from what's currently available on Kauai so the menu always had fun specials - plus you can order full or half servings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local to the core.BakingInHawaiiDined on 10/14/2014This restaurant is doing the right thing on the little island of Kauai, sourcing their menu primarily from local food sources. They visit the farmers' markets just like we do to buying seasonal produce to feature in their tasty dishes. Fish is locally caught and they occasionally have very interesting choices of local, but less known, catches. The bar makes many of its drink materials from scratch and has an excellent Mai Tai that is made with fresh Lilikoi (passionfruit) juice and is worthy of a try. The view is unbeatable and right on the beach and East side trade winds will keep you comfortable through your meal.Special Features:

- Another great dinnerRickAZVIPDined on 9/18/2014We start our vacation width dinner here last week. We enjoyed our final diner of our trip there last night.

I had the catch of the day, ono, grilled over sweet potatoes and it was melt in your mouth good. My hubby had the burger and is still talking about it. Who keeps talking about a burger? You would if you had that one. It was really good. Even the dessert was unique and delicious. The wine list is short but I had the pinot gris and it was perfect. It appeared that all of the wines were of excellent quality. We really enjoyed our dinner here and highly recommend it.Special Features:

- Oasis is an ocean view gem!DragonflyDined on 9/6/2014Celebrating my hubby's 60 in Kauai, I read deep into reviews and blogs. Oasis aimed to please. The food, service and ambience was most memorable on this special occasion. The stroll by the koi pond and around the lazy river pool to get to the restaurant is lovely. Make your reservation early to get the unobstructed view. We were greeted with champagne and a mini appetizer. The menu is small in size but makes up in excellence. Seared ahi was my choice on a bed of Hawaiian sweet potato/bok choi. Dessert was delicious as we both had the apple\banana spring roll and the dark chocolate mousse with biscotti. Steven, sous chef, came out to congratulate my DH. We made reservations for the next night and had a repeat experience!Special Features:
- Great grass fed burgerGreatfoodDined on 9/2/2014The waitress was amazing and really knew her menu! The grass fed burgers were surprisingly tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friendly ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/2/2014Our ocean-side lunch at Oasis was very nice. The manager sat us at our table, acknowledged my nut allergy, and even offered us complimentary champagne for the final lunch of our honeymoon. The service was great--not too much, check backs when appropriate. The decor of the restaurant was lovely, and I must say the bathroom looked great! We are definitely glad we came and would have liked to have had the chance to come by for dinner. If you are looking for great ocean-side dining with a romantic atmosphere, come here!Special Features:
- Great food and locationluvsteakVIPDined on 9/1/2014This is one of the neatest restaurants on Kauai. Located right next to the beach in back of a resort. Run like a small boutique restaurant with an innovative menu. All fresh local ingredients. Very unique drink menu. One of the best features is they have half plates on entree items so you can keep the portions small if you so desire. They take reservations except for Wednesday evening, 5 to 7, when they have a local ukulele player who is fantastic. Every year this is one of our favorite spots. I believe Happy Hour is 4 to 6 and has special food and drink items. Don't miss this if you are on Kauai.Special Features:
- Great Attention to ServiceMarkDVIPDined on 8/25/2014While we really enjoyed our meal, the staff is five star. From the moment we walked up to the host stand to leaving the attention to good service never wavered. Our waitress was friendly without being intrusive, pleasantly suggestive with both entrees and wine. The support staff was never absent, filling water and seeing if we needed anything. The cozy atmosphere reflected the crowd that as happy with the experience as we were. This is not to short the food which was inventive without being overly complex. Everything was fresh, high quality, prepared perfectly and full of flavor. You have to try the desert spring roll.Special Features:
- Great Food, Service, Alohahapihonu54Dined on 8/19/2014on an island where great food and service and ambience are sometimes very difficult to find, OASIS is a gem! truly great food and service with authentic heartfelt aloha.

- Can only describe Oasis as GreatDonhDined on 8/16/2014We used Open Table to find good restaurants on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Oasis in Kapaa is a wonderful find! We had previously had a wonderful lunch with cool ocean breezes blowing adding to the ambience and even that experience was surpassed by having dinner at Oasis. We had one of their best tables, under the stars and within feet of the ocean waves. Though their menu only has a small selection of dishes, they really put their best efforts into those preparations. I had the curry with a piece of Ono and the fish tasted so fresh it seemed as if they went out and caugth the fish just for my dish. My wife had a burger from local beef and the combination of sauces, goat cheese and bacon jam really made this much more. Recommended!Special Features:

- Great dinner at OasisJajkmelvinDined on 7/31/2014Our party of four, two adults and two young adults, enjoyed our dinner at Oasis. We all had the half portions so could enjoy an appetizer and desert. I appreciate a restaurant where a half option is on the menu. Our server explained all the choices and ingredients to us, we each had something different and it was all good! We try not to eat at the same restaurant on our vacations, but Oasis has us considering a second visit so we can sample more of the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AmazingMissWendeeDined on 7/24/2014Oasis is an amazing restaurant if you are looking for ocean front dining and delicious food! We found it by googling Ocean front dining in Kauai and couldn't have been more pleased. We were seated on the patio with breathtaking views of the north shore! The food was outstanding - grilled catch of the day was Ono cooked to perfection on a bed of Japanese mashed pumpkin with a side of Arugula! Healthy and tasty! My husband had their burger and it was also quite tasty! The Oasis offers gluten free and vegetarian dishes as well as selections for patrons with severe food allergies. We couldn't have been more pleased with our meal or location! We also met a nice couple from Washington and we are from California. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Ocean front diningUbcool2Dined on 7/12/2014Oasis truly is an oasis in the heart of Kapaa. It's one of the few open air restaurants where you can sit outside under an umbrella enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. Not only that, but the food was excellent. Loved it all. We met our mainland friends there, and had a very leisurely dinner, not once being made to feel like we needed to hurry. Service was well paced with no pressure. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- First and lastHlssDined on 7/5/2014This was the very first and last place we had dinner. I rarely have the same thing twice, opting to sample menus, but the curry with local catch was so good I had it twice--amazing. The view is wonderful, good service, and friendly for our 8 month old. No doubt we'll be back next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 355 reviews are from the Oasis reviews archive.
- Elegant ocean front restaurant.marketranDined on 7/5/2014I went there with my wife for dinner. We arrived there when it was not dark yet until it is completely dark. They gave us ocean front but under the roof table. Some table are really outside. Since it rains several times a day without any pattern, I think it is better to have a roof over you. They have menu that you can chose size, like "full" or "half". We chose fish dishes of halves. They were proper size for small eater like us, the taste was great, and the fish were fresh. The waiter were very kind and friendly. What else? The sound of surf is soothing, the room and the tables are spacious, we had very relaxing dinner.Special Features:
- Oceanside DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/29/2014Overall good experience... very slow paced (not ideal for kids) but views and food were good. Limited menu. We would go back again without our teens to enjoy the ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Definitely an oasis to return toAlaskanAstlesDined on 6/28/2014We loved it so much we returned the next night for appetizers and drinks before returning to the airport back to Oahu. Our Wailua River Guide Chris recommended the Oasis for dinner and we're so glad he did. Absolutely wonderful scenery on the beach, terrific bartender & servers, and the calamari, mahi mahi, and swordfish were wonderful. While not a huge Mai Tai fan, these were the best we've found on the islands so much that they brought us back. We didn't get the name of our bartender but she not only made us wonderful drinks but was also fun to talk to when she had a chance. The Oasis was so good, we are sure when we return to Kauai next we'll be staying at the Outrigger instead of the hotel we stayed at this trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChristytooDined on 6/28/2014Good food. Staff we're very friendly. I appreciated the ability to order half portions on most menu items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced the signing of Kasperi Kapanen, their 2014 first round draft pick, to a three-year entry-level contract on Friday morning. The agreement will begin when Kapanen turns professional.
Kapanen, who will turn 18 on July 23, was the Penguins' 22nd overall selection in the first round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
The Kuopio, Finland native was the No. 1-rated European skater by NHL Central Scouting after finishing with seven goals, seven assists and 14 points in 47 games for KalPa Kuopio (SM-liiga) in the Finnish Elite League (FEL).
Some scouts have described Kapanen as an efficient scorer who takes high-percentage shots and doesn't force the puck on net if he has an open teammate.
The 6-foot, 181-pound right wing made his Finnish League debut with KalPa at just 16 years old in 2012-13, when he put up four goals in 13 contests.
Kapanen is the son of veteran National Hockey League player Sami Kapanen, who had 458 career points in 831 NHL regular-season games. The father-son duo were teammates this year with KalPa.
Back in 2012, the Penguins found Finnish defenseman Olli Maatta with the 22nd overall pick. Time will tell if Kapanen can make the same jump to the NHL.

moreIn all workplaces the health and safety of employees is closely linked with the company's profitability. Human resource strategies for improving the health and safety of people in the workplace do not necessarily cost money - in fact they usually save money.
A practical book based on the authors' combined consultancy experience, Increasing Productivity and Profit Through Health and Safety shows readers how they can use ergonomics to make money for their organizations. Richly illustrated with a range of case studies drawn from heavy industry, retail sales, hospitals, hotels, and call centers, the book outlines universal concepts that can be used in any workplace. Included with the book is a CD-ROM that contains a simple but sophisticated working cost-benefit analysis model. This model enables readers to input their own data, which will help them make the case for implementing workplace health, safety, and ergonomics programs. For the non-expert there is a chapter that explains economics concepts and models using 'non-economics' language.
Human resource personnel, physicians, safety and risk management specialists, trainers, and ergonomists as well as business managers and engineers will find this book to be a powerful support tool for developing and implementing workplace improvements. less

Scottish Baptist chosen as new Rector of IBTS
The Revd Dr Stuart Blythe is the new Rector of the International Baptist Theological Study Centre (IBTS Centre) in Amsterdam, it has been announced.
Dr Blythe was the 'unanimous' choice of the Board of Trustees of the International Baptist Theological Seminary (IBTS), which met in Prague on 1 November. He is at present Interim Principal of the Scottish Baptist College, where he has been on the staff for the past eight years. He will take up his new post in the summer of 2014.
Dr Blythe is the first head of the institution to be an IBTS graduate alumnus, obtaining his BD degree magna cum laude at Rüschlikon in 1989. Before that he had graduated MA from the University of Glasgow in modern and medieval history. He then had ministries in the Scottish Baptist Churches at Springburn and Kirkintilloch, latterly as Senior Pastor of a large suburban church. He completed an MTh degree through Spurgeon's College in 2003, and followed this with a PhD in Homiletics from the University of Edinburgh in 2009.
His primary areas of teaching and research are in the areas of practical theology with a concern for Baptist and anabaptist identity and the contribution which this particular perspective can bring to church ministry and mission. Over the years he has been involved in various ways with the Baptist Union of Scotland and has encouraged thinking and practice in line with what it means to live under the rule of Christ.
The Scottish Baptist College is based in the University of the West of Scotland and Dr Blythe has continued to develop his learning through this University with a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and teaching in Higher Education. He is committed to the idea of life-long learning and that education can be informative, formative, and transformative. He has several published articles in his specialist area of homiletics. Recently he has participated in the annual Doctoral Colloquium at IBTS Prague.
Dr Blythe describes himself as a 'convictional Baptist' with a passionate concern for God's mission. With respect to his new position he says he feels honoured to be invited to take up this post and excited by the challenges ahead.
'Our churches in Europe and beyond face a challenging and changing missionary situation,' he said. 'IBTS has an established reputation of high academic quality not least with attention to the Baptist tradition. My hope is that the tough thinking, research interests, and students of IBTS will be able to support our churches as they seek courageously to bear faithful witness to Jesus Christ in their various contexts. The relocation of IBTS to Amsterdam seems somewhat symbolic and the close partnerships this offer, full of potential.'
He has been married to his wife Susanne for 29 years and they have two grown up children, a son Stephen (25) and a daughter Kim Michal (21). He was converted and baptised as a teenager in his home town of Uddingston near Glasgow.
His appointment was warmly welcomed by the outgoing Chair of the IBTS Board of Trustees, the Revd Dr Ruth Gouldbourne, who also chaired the Search Group: 'Appointing somebody to the kind of key position as Rector of IBTS is always a crucial task - and at this time of change, even more so. We believe that Stuart brings to the position energy, vision and skills that will be significant in helping us develop the new patterns and relationships that will mark the life of IBTS in the next years.'
Speaking on behalf of the current IBTS community Acting Rector Dr Parush Parushev warmly welcomed the decision of the BoT to appoint Dr Blythe. 'We feel he is already well known to us from his participation in the academic life of IBTS and from our personal contacts with him over recent years. We have full confidence in his academic expertise and in him fitting into the communal sprit of IBTS. We hope he will feel that IBTS is his natural academic home.'
The Revd Dr Jim Purves, friend, colleague, and Mission and Ministry Adviser to the Baptist Union of Scotland, described Stuart Blythe's appointment as marking 'an exciting, new stage in our service of the church throughout the European Baptist Federation and beyond. Stuart's skills as pastor, theologian and educationalist are well suited to and will be ably exercised in leading both faculty and students in pursuing our IBTS mission of developing baptist values for effective mission into the 21st century.'
'Stuart Blythe impressed us first of all as a person of strong Christian faith and Baptist conviction' commented the Revd Tony Peck, a member of the Search Group and the General Secretary of the European Baptist Federation which owns IBTS.
'Add to this his impressive academic background, his considerable experience in theological education, and his passion for the Gospel and the mission of God, and I believe we have someone who will build on the past achievements of IBTS whilst also being open to new and exciting possibilities for IBTS when it moves to Amsterdam. I also discern that he is someone who can gain the trust and confidence of Baptists in all parts of the EBF.'

Press for Imprivata
Imprivata, the leader in secure access and collaboration for healthcare, today announced the results of its fifth annual survey examining IT trends in healthcare. According to this year's findings, 45 percent of respondents indicate that more than half of their physicians are placing orders using Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). Yet, 38 percent report that still less than 25 percent of their physicians are using CPOE, which poses a challenge for meeting Stage 2 Meaningful Use. Sixty-three percent of respondents reported Resistance to Workflow Changes as the leading obstacle to CPOE adoption, with Single Sign-on (SSO) (74%), Virtualized Desktops (48%) and Remote/Mobile Access (46%) reported as the top three technologies for engaging physicians to use CPOE.

January 21st, 1964: a date that will live in infamy. Well, not exactly, but it was the date in which the Beatles first brought their wonderfully-melodic selves to the United States. In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of them treading on our soil, a Beatles box set will be released next month.
The box set is very appropriately going to be entitled The U.S. Albums. The set will reissue all 13 of their American albums, and will include 5 albums that have never before been available on CD. The reason that the American version is specified is simply because the American versions tend to have different track listings as well as different album art from the U.K. counterpart. The U.S. Albums will include their first album from 1964, Meet the Beatles, and go all the way up to Hey Jude from 1970. The greats that we all cherish such as Revolver, Abbey Road, A Hard Day's Night, Help! and many more will soon be all in one place.
Personally, I am a vinyl person all the way, for many reasons, but due in large part to the incredible album art that is included. In this box set, I am very happy to say that all of the CDs will be packaged like the original vinyls, with the same art and inner sleeves. It will also include a 64 page booklet, and all of the albums except for two will come in both mono and stereo. Not to mention all of the CDs except for one will be available for individual purchase for a limited time.
Bring the British Invasion back into your home next month, just in time for a belated Christmas gift!

Sorry we've been a little MIA as of late – I got sick and spent a weekend in Virginia, leaving my blogging capabilities seriously handicapped. However, we're back and fully functional, and here's a rundown of what we missed (call it the revival of our old usual morning links):
- Via TestudoTimes, here's a little Justin Anderson shimmy to brighten your day:
- Desmond Hubert committed to North Carolina. With Tyler Zeller, John Henson, and now Harrison Barnes returning, this was somewhat surprising, but the Tar Heels have to be considered title favorites. Not because of Hubert, mind you – the guy's going to ride the pine all year – but Roy Williams has a dynamite squad returning to Chapel Hill.
- Wally Judge made his first visit to a school since being granted his release from Kansas State, and it was to Rutgers. He seemed to like it somewhat, but wasn't gushing over it. Also – "He added he likely would visit Washington, and Memphis and Maryland were also in the equation."
- Kenny Tate was named to the Lott Impact Trophy Watch List, because of course he was.
- From TT – Maryland is recruiting Shaquille Cleare hard, and is currently competing with Arizona, Florida and Texas for 2012 big man Mitch McGary. McGary is a four-star 6'9″ power forward/center from Chesterton, Indiana, and will be an interesting prospect to watch.
Thanks for stopping by.

Wouldn't that just make a copy of the protected PDF file, sorta like you can do in the Finder anyway? (I don't actually have a good encrypted PDF file to test on, but my intuition says that it shouldn't be stripping the protection from it when it sends it to mail).

"My favourite is the sinfully rich hump moistened by its own fat, and best eaten with a slice of grilled pineapple to cleanse the palate. It's a delectable parade as different kinds of meat are brought to your table and sliced according to your requirement." -So Shiok
