Review this movie
Nov 13, 2014"Safety Not Guaranteed" 10 Scale Rating: 7.0 (Good) ...
The Good: Great idea with near perfect execution. The main idea that we sometimes wish that we could go back in time and change something resonates with us all. The film doesn't aim very high and that's a good thing. It sticks with what it is and doesn't try too much.
The Bad: Slows down somewhat and becomes a little monotonous towards the end. A couple of side stories lose their charm halfway through and you'd rather they focus on the main one.… Expand
Sep 1, 2014We are reminded once more of Aubrey Plaza's charm and bright career ahead of her. Safety Not Guaranteed is a young comedy that is uplifting enough to be remembered.
Aug 12, 2014Impossible not to fall in love with this one. It really is a great example of how fun a film can be and how enjoyable watching a film can truly be. The acting from Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson, and Karan Soni, is great and very authentic. These people truly feel like real human beings and because of that, you can really identify with them. This is in large part thanks to the very good acting and the very good writing. The story really strikes a chord with you and the way it is presented is very good. I also like the the combination of comedy, romance, and sci-fi here. All are very well done and provide enough to keep your interest high. Overall, Safety Not Guaranteed is a funny, charming, touching, and exciting, little film that is worthy of the small amount of praise it got, though it may even deserve a bit more. It is not one of the best films ever, but it is a fun little watch that makes the hour and a half fly by like nothing.… Expand
Feb 6, 2014The movie is what one could deem an alt. romantic comedy any other belief going in is only going to lead you into a sad state affairs. The casting is uninspired, but there are not many romantic comedies alt. or regular that can say otherwise. So in terms of enjoyment do you like quirky things? Do have a positive state of being even when the evidence suggests otherwise? Congratulations this film is for you, everyone else exit the room because that ending will surely ruin your day.
Entertainment value if you like quirky films a 7. The Poe Scale is 5.5 that I will bump to a six as this films budget was under a million.

Cinematography: 1/2

Aug 11, 2013I don't know why but I really liked Safety not guaranteed. It has great story and plot and it's really smart. It shows how important friendship is. It had some extremely funny moments and it was humouristic but it also had some sad moments. It had also sci-fi moments and the combination of those three is really good and the result of that film was excellent. The actors were ok and the film had many things going on which made it really interesting. I liked it I didn't know the film but when I read about it I knew that I would like. An indie-low budget-must-watch. I guarantee you that you will like this film!… Expand
Aug 4, 2013"Safety Not Guaranteed" is a fantastic movie that you will never regret seeing. It's a happy movie with fun actors and will leave you smiling at its finish.
Jul 3, 2013Retro cinematic joy. I doubt that there is anyone who will not like this movie. Its witty, funny, well acted, well shot, imaginative, well thought out, well written, beautifully executed and the list just goes on. Its an extremely amazing dramedy which has way too many perks and NO cons. I recommend this movie to all movie goers.
Apr 11, 2013This movie strikes a chord on a multitude of levels, with a few direct statements of truth. It doesn't hold your hand in some Hollywood fashion slowly ramping you up to "get it". It simply tells an all too real fairy tale of life, love and hardship. I cannot find a way to discredit this great flick in anyway, whether its campy nature or amateur window dressing shine through. It honestly deserves nothing less than a 10 for it's honesty.… Expand
Apr 11, 2013Safety Not Guaranteed is a well acted, quirky and original comedy-drama; aside from a few unnecessary subplots and being little slow at times.
Apr 9, 2013A fun premise that gets ground into the dirt by the absolutely leaden acting of the always vacuous Aubrey Plaza and occasionally derailed by a supporting character subplot that goes nowhere and offers nothing to the main storyline. The oh-so hip indie soundtrack got far more thought put into it than the actual movie.
It's a shame as it begins strong/interesting but eventually proves to be a hollow, predictable story that runs down a checklist of emotional buttons to press before reaching the obvious conclusion. Oh well...… Expand
Mar 30, 2013"Safety Not Guaranteed" is a fairly quiet and genuine film about taking chances. That life should be taken advantage to its full potential, whether it be with an idea or loved one. There is also an underlying message about regret and how we should cope with it. We could either live with it, forget it or try to fix it.
Writing in the film is fairly strong as it tries to juggle three different stories…well more like two and a half into one fully realized experience. The lines of dialogue are genuine and usually pretty funny. However, the film has a layer of heart. It makes you feel for the characters as you learn more and more about them. The main story about a girl who meets a wacky guy is sweet, but the most compelling story of the film is about one of the side characters who tries to rekindle a old romance. That story works in so many ways where we see the pain and joy of the characters and it doesn't feel tacked on.
Characters are generally pretty great as they are relateable and the actors do a fine job of bringing them to life. Darius, Aubrey Plaza, is awkward at first, but slowly turns into a more lovable character. Her dead pan humor is hilarious and she says most of the best lines. Plus, Aubrey Plaza manages to bring a lot of emotion to the character. Jeff, Jake Johnson, begins as a sex obsessed jerk, but turns into a very sympathizing character. Jake bring the right amount of and and emotional depth to the character. He even becomes helpful and really helps develop another character in the film. Mark Duplass does a good job as the on edge Kenneth. The rest of the cast is fairly good as well.
Overall, "Safety Not Guaranteed" is a really enjoyable film that is not only entertaining, but brisks by. The characters are compelling and offer up more than what they initially promise. However, it doesn't reach a level of greatness, but it still is one heck of a film. It had me laughing, feeling, and drawn into the story. I give it 4/5, funny, genuine, and filled with great performances and characters.… Expand
Mar 16, 2013This film is all about the relationship between two characters who in the wrong director's hand might not be as believable or as heart felt as what we get here.
Mar 1, 2013Safety Not Gauranteed starts out as a humoristic road-trip-esque adventure with the promise of some deep science-fiction but it ends up as some kind of modern romance movie with horrible music and around the 55 minute mark it really starts to drag as the movie slowly works towards tying up loose ends. Then when it finally ends, it ends with such an anti-climax that it seems like the writers just stopped caring and never finished the story. Science-fiction? Time travel? In the very last minute, just before the credits role. Leaving too many questions unanswered and generally undoing the good feeling you get from it in the first 50 or so minutes makes me wish I could go back in time to stop myself from watching this movie. Aubrey Plaza (Darius) looks great and if it wasn't for her good looks, I wouldn't have rated the movie as high as I did. Karan Soni (Darau) plays a very convincing timid intern and should have gotten more screen-time. The rest of the actors were so-so.… Expand
Feb 23, 2013The message of the movie is uplifting. No matter how weird a person is they are usually better with a companion. The ending of the film was just awkward to me.
Jan 10, 2013Made with relatively unknown actors who however bring something really fresh on the silver screen, with relatively low budget leaving a lot of things through out the film in the viewers imagination, an original script that take you on a journey that you haven't been before and a visionary director who manages to pull all this madness together in a very endearing and enjoyable picture. One of the most welcomed surprises of the year.… Expand
Jan 5, 2013This film is a mildly amusing fanciful romp -- nothing more and nothing less. Keep your expectations low and you should be pleasantly surprised. A fun hour and a half.
Dec 17, 2012Good acting and good writing. I expected it to be really corny at the end but it was actually very satisfying and enjoyable. I really liked this movie. It's the sleeper hit of the year imo.
Dec 13, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I took this movie by chance without knowing anything about the script or who were the producers - and it was a very good surprise.
The film, a mixture of comedy / drama light covers an intern (a introverted and somewhat strange girl) from a magazine who embarks on an investigation with two more colleagues, about a strange newspaper announcement, from a person who wants a companion to travel in time. This person is the eccentric clerk of a chain of stores, and the girl gets involved with him to conduce the investigation.
The story is well written, with its high moments, and very light - I thought the acting solid, and having a relatively low budget ($ 750.000US) and not using special effects or action scenes, being made the traditional way.
From the initial half hour, you end up trapped by the characters and the unfolding story. The overall mood of the film is light, and discusses aspects of the personality and lives of the characters in a good way.
In short: this filme ends up being another example of an independent movie, which shows that not every good movie needs to have high budget, famous actors and edge effects to ensure quality and fun. My score: 8.0 / 10.0.… Expand
Nov 29, 2012This is a low budget movie that would probably bore 95% of the population. That being said, I am not part of that grouping because I loved it. I mainly only watched the movie because I love Aubrey Plaza but I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was absolutely fantastic and the story was incredibly original. The movie was more about life and how we perceive ourselves in it than time travel and I think that's what the writer and director were going for so I think they did a great job. This film reminded me of a quote from the show Boston Legal where the character Alan Shore says, "I think we live our lives so afraid to be seen as weak that we die, perhaps, without ever having been seen at all." If you see the movie I think you'd see why.… Expand
Nov 21, 2012This movie is cute. Honestly, there's no other way to say it. It borders on cheesy at times but it's a very cute film that honestly makes you feel happy when it's over. Not the best movie of 2012 but definitely a good, very cute film. Perfect date movie.
Nov 3, 2012Once in a while you have very little expectations before you start watching a movie and as you watch and the story develops you begin to be more and more interested, you giggle and smile and suddenly you get it, and you must see the conclusion! Safety Not Guaranteed is one of those movies.
Nov 2, 2012Safety Not Guaranteed starts off like a film with promise. Remember how you felt when you first watched Little Miss Sunshine? Yeah, it starts off like that. But it doesn't take much longer than twenty or thirty minutes for Aubrey Plaza's one dimensional, too-cool-to-be-here attitude to completely remove the viewer from any dedication to her character. It's all the "you're stupid" blank stares you've come to love from her character in Parks and Rec...only for way longer. The same goes for Jake Johnson, who makes you think he is going to be hilarious for the whole film until you realize he's really just the cliche alcoholic **** writer with a silly story arc of his own in the film that has literally no payoff or relevance to the overall plot. With that being said, Mark Duplass as the paranoid time traveler is just really fantastic. His character distracted me from Plaza and Johnson's super indie, first world problematics and gave me a reason to stay awake for the entire film. He even performs a beautiful song somewhere near the end. But then there's "the end." I've heard other critics give the ending of this movie a lot of praise. To be frank, I don't know why. It has a good ending the same way The Sopranos had a good ending. It just ends. So if you're looking for the heartfelt, dramatic comedy romp with a wild storyline and goosebumps-inducing ending...you're not going to get it. But I suppose if you have an hour and a half to spare, you can start this film up and enjoy Duplass being a stupidly good actor.… Expand
Nov 1, 2012Safety Not Guaranted is not overly dramatic or funny, but the light tone and depth of the story make it an enjoyable 80 minutes. The two leads are very likeable and the film is also about something, which is rare in our times.
Oct 15, 2012A reasonably watchable movie and Aubrey Plaza is hard not to like. Ultimately however, the film descends into the sort of hipster drivel that we are seeing more of lately and the final product just seems to lack cohesion. It's one of those movies where after seeing the trailer you don't know how they could possibly make a full film based on what you've seen. I should probably start trusting my instincts when I feel that way about a preview, instead of deciding to watch a film based on the reviews and/or out of curiosity after seeing a head-scratching trailer.… Expand
Oct 14, 2012This is a movie about life and how time sucks the life out of you. The 4 main characters are Kenneth (the crazy, socially inept, nice, crazy guy), Darius (the pretty, bitter, sad, antisocial young woman), Jeff (the self centered, egotistical, rude, nostalgic aging man) & Arnau (the nerdy, quiet, awkward, intelligent student).
Kenneth has always been weird. He's never fit in anywhere and he never will. Someone described him as someone who doesn't fit in nicely with her friends. Although Kenneth is painfully aware of how people view him, he pretends that he's a skilled martial arts expert who is capable of traveling back in time. He has created an alternate reality to kill the pain. He survives by remaining delusional.
Darius wasn't always weird. She was a normal, relatively happy kid until tragedy struck. She was never able to get over her loss and never connected with anyone. She thinks that she doesn't know what she wants out of life but deep down she realizes that she doesn't want anything out of life. She's drawn to Kenneth because he's one of the few people she meets who is more broken than her.
Jeff tries to act like a big shot and flaunts his expensive car to compensate for the dread he feels. He's not where he wants to be and is nostalgic. He has become jaded and self destructive and he knows that he will grow old and become a creepy old man and although he seems to embrace this, knowing that he'll be even worse off in the future fills him with dread.
Arnau is very intelligent but he's also paralyzed by his interconnectedness. When he tries to connect to Darius by showering her with compliments it comes off as awkward and creepy. Much like Kenneth, he is painfully aware of his shortcomings and despite his intellectual acumen, he's unable to break out of his shell.
Overall, this is a good movie. Everyone will find their own meaning but I believe it's a simple movie about life. We're born, we stick around for a while and then we die. No one is really happy. We may experience happiness every now and then but we're all generally sad and there's nothing we can do about it. It's human nature.… Expand
Aug 10, 2012Insanely likeable as it is funny and charming with wonderful performances by Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson, and Aubrey Plaza. However, the tonal shift at the conclusion is jarring and feels inorganic to the rest of the story.
Aug 8, 2012http://www.sanctuaryreview.com/2012/08/movie-review-safety-not-guaranteed.html#more This summer has had an overwhelming amount of indie romance flicks. Every other week it seems like there is another dramedy staring a who
Aug 1, 2012I really appreciate the way this film avoids trying to milk drama out the obvious places. Strong acting; comedy from Jake Johnson and depth from Mark Duplass. Just the way I like it, no sensationalism and plenty of understatement.
Jul 29, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a wonderful little quirky film. At no time during the film was I ever bored. Aubrey Plaza (sort of reprising her role from Parks and Recreation) was marvelous and made the film for me. The plot (inspired by a real life ad that appeared in a magazine) unfolds slowly and surprisingly, unlike so many other independent films, actually has an ending!… Expand
Jul 6, 2012Aubrey Plaza has this look about her. She is short with large eyeballs so she has this way of looking up at people and showing them non-verbally that she thinks they are morons and whatever situation she is in at the moment is stupid. If you are a fan of the TV show Parks & Recreation, you have seen this character before in April Ludgate. The filmmakers of Safety Not Guaranteed most likely thought, … Expand
Jun 26, 2012I really enjoyed Safety Not Guaranteed, and it was mostly because Aubrey Plaza is very enjoyable/interesting to watch. My crush on her aside, this movie was very well done, in that it didn't sell out and explain everything going on but gave some tidbits here and there to keep your imagination going. There are laughs throughout, some times where you might feel some tears lingering behind your eyes, and other times where you are confused on what to feel- but that's a good thing. Everything about this movie is interesting and well played by the cast and every one else involved with the film. Definitely recommend anyone in their late teens and older to go check this out.… Expand
Jun 25, 2012didn't like the acting, didn't like the script (alternatively vague and too on the nose and too unfunny), didn't like the cinematography, didn't like the music. liked mark dupass, SPOILER the design of the time machine, and a few lines. Don't believe the hype on this one. I feel ripped off by how lame the movie was. the story had potential and it went in none of the cool directions i hoped it might during the film.… Expand
Jun 24, 2012The writing is extremely tight in this film. The acting - especially Jake Johnson from The New Girl - is uniformly solid. What starts out as a quirky, snarky story truly ends with substance. It's unexpectedly satisfying.
Jun 17, 2012There is not really much to like or dislike in this film as it is not a complete film. Like many in of its type, its lacks any real depth and tries to get by on some teenage or SNL type charm. The result is a movie that has no real story, no resolution, no real characters that you give a damn, and you just leave the theater shaking your head. Why this was a crowd pleaser at Sundance may be because everything else was so lame? I don't know but this is a paper thin attempt at novelty that doesn't work.… Expand
Jun 17, 2012Wow, what a charmer this movie is. Jake Johnson pulls of the Russell Brand trick of making a smarmy, cynical character likable, and Aubrey Plaza is really a revelation. You suspect that her moping around in the first third of this movie would drive you away, but the way she warms up as the story progresses is really irresistible. Oh, and Mark Duplass should be a leading man in every other rom-com from here on out. Supporting roles are also uniformly stellar. I'm going to compare this to Juno because you think it's going to aggravate like nails on a blackboard, but then it completely wins you over. Highly recommended… Collapse
Jun 13, 2012While it does have science fiction elements, Safety Not Guaranteed is much more quirky comedy than anything else. It has the warmth, humor and intelligence that make for a good date movie, appealing to both men and women, but without the gushing sentimentality that is typical of mainstream rom-coms. As a guy, this is the kind of date movie I actually like seeing. Full review on my blog.
Jun 12, 2012I wouldn't understand how anyone could really dislike this movie. Maybe for the fact that Mark Duplass is way older than Aubrey Plaza, but then this movie illustrates that there are no bounds on love. With three people, out to investigate a story about a classified ad in the paper, each finds a separate story that they go out to take part of. Darius goes out to earn the trust of Kenneth to earn a place to go back in time and investigate the story. Jeff goes back to Ocean View to meet up with a lost love. And Arnau doesn't do much until he gets some inspiration on the trip. A very heartfelt kind of story that plays mostly on the acting and great script, "Safety Not Guranteed" is surely a winner and an admiration piece of work in the indie film business.… Expand
Eccentric enough to get mistaken for an uplifting fantasy, but it's Plaza who belongs in the penthouse.
Even if something feels crazy -- whether it's falling in with a self-taught time-traveler, or buying into a charming but faintly flawed movie premise -- if you listen to your gut, wonderful things can happen.
Call me biased, but I'm quick to put out the welcome mat for any movie – good, bad or indifferent – that resists easy categorizing. That's certainly the charm of Safety NotGuaranteed, which flirts with two very different genres yet never goes steady with either.


text: On December 15, 2001, about 1330 eastern standard time, a Cessna 182Q, N759JD, was substantially damaged while landing at the Hampton Roads Executive Airport (PVG), Norfolk, Virginia. The certificated private pilot and passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.The airplane was landing on runway 2, a 3,524-foot long, 70-foot wide, asphalt runway. In a written statement, the pilot said the airplane touched down, began to bounce, and he elected to perform a go-around. During a second landing attempt, the airplane again began to bounce; however, the propeller struck the runway, before the airplane came to rest.Subsequent inspection of the airplane revealed that both propeller tips had separated. Additionally, the nose wheel strut assembly and lower firewall was bent aft.A witness at PVG reported that the airplane "hit hard about five times, and lost a piece of front wheel cover." He then observed the airplane go-around, and bounce "about six times" during the second landing attempt.The pilot stated he did not experience any mechanical problems with the airplane. He reported 150 hours of total flight experience, all in make and model.Winds reported at an airport located about 14 miles east-northeast of PVG, at 1351, were from 020 degrees at 15 knots, with 20 knot gusts. A witness at the airport described the wind conditions as "very strong" with gusts approaching 40 knots.

Recently, members of the Carle Place women's track and field team, the National Junior Honor Society and Girl Scout Troop 3096, as well as other community residents, helped promote Relay for Life by painting Carle Place purple. "Paint the Town Purple" is an initiative to spread the word about Relay for Life and pump up the community's excitement since the event is only weeks away.
Help spread the word and continue painting the town purple. The Relay for Life team offered some suggestions to spread the word and raise money: decorate the outside of your house (change your outdoor light to purple, put purple ribbon on doors and trees, put out purple flowers), wear purple, give out or sell purple cookies, display purple in your windows, host a purple party, decorate your classroom or office, decorate your car, paint something purple or put up signs.

- From the Instructor:
MTH 65 is a second term beginning algebra course that focuses on the symbolic algebra skills needed for further course work in mathematics and science. We will use applications, formulas and reasoning skills to write, simplify, solve and graph linear systems and quadratic equations.
In this telecourse, you will watch lessons on Comcast Cable channel 27 (Portland area only)or on your computer via youtube. Each week you will be expected to watch two lessons. Hopefully, you'll find the lessons thorough and comprehensive. Nonetheless, it will be important that you also read the corresponding sections of your textbook and do the suggested practice problems. You will also need to log in to Desire2Learn several times a week as I send announcements via Desire2Learn. The youtube links will also be available in Desire2Learn.
If you just took Mth 60, you should already have the text. We will finish the text we started in Mth 60.
It is not easy to learn mathematics via pre-recorded lessons. The time you would spend in class will instead be spent watching the lessons, reading and studying mathematics in your textbook. To be successful in this class, you must be an independent learner.
This course, like other math courses, is time-intensive. Classes like this one typically require about five hours each week watching, pausing and reviewing the lessons (just like attending class) and an additional eight to twelve hours reading the textbook, doing homework, and studying.
Please assess your situation, and determine if you will be able to commit this kind of time to the class. Also think about the type of learner you are. Teleweb courses are a terrific option, especially for independent, self-motivated learners. If this does not describe you, consider why it is you are thinking about taking this type of class, and if it really is a medium that will give you the best chance to succeed. DO NOT TAKE MTH 65 via TELEWEB BECAUSE YOU THINK IT WILL BE EASIER THAN AN ON-CAMPUS CLASS. For many students, it is HARDER via teleweb than on-campus. This is not a self-paced course. There are specific due dates and I do not accept late work.
- Course Specific Requirements:
There are three proctored paper-and-pencil, no-notes, no-books, (the first without a calculator, the second with a calculator and the final without a calculator). There will be scheduled times to take those exams at the Sylvania Campus, but if you live out of town, you can make arrangements with me to take the exam at an approved college testing center. If you live in the Portland area, you must take the exam at the Sylvania Campus. I do not offer testing at the other PCC campuses. Otherwise, the entire course can be completed from home. The six graded worksheets can be mailed. MyMathLab is NOT required in this class.
- Telecourse + Web Technical Requirements:
- Please be sure to read the Technical Requirements for this delivery mode.
- Students with Disabilities:
- Students with disabilities should notify their instructor if accommodations are needed to take this class. For information about technologies that help people with disabilities in taking Web based distance learning classes please visit the Office for Students with Disabilities website.
- Registration:
- To register, you need the CRNs (ex. 22398) of your selected classes.
- Fees:
- Please note that for many courses, additional fees may apply.
- Textbooks:
- To find textbooks, you need the CRN, Campus, Term & Course Number (ex. BA101).

The Year in Trade -- Chronicling 60 Years
The USITC last week released its 60th edition of The Year in Trade.
The Year in Trade is a one-stop reference resource for anyone involved in international trade, covering major multilateral, regional, and bilateral developments as well as international trade laws and actions under them during the year covered.
It is one of the government's most comprehensive reports of U.S. trade-related activities, and it has been published by the Commission every year since 1948.
Ten years ago, when the Commission published the 50th Anniversary edition of The Year in Trade, it included a retrospective on the publication and the U.S. trade agreements program it has covered.
Appearing as a "Letter to Readers" at the front of the volume, it surveyed the evolution of U.S. international trade policy. It noted that as the scope and complexity of U.S. international trade relations had expanded over the previous 50 years, so had The Year in Trade by thoroughly chronicling the milestones in U.S. bilateral and multilateral trade developments.
The 50th Anniversary retrospective explained that the origin of The Year in Trade series was Executive Order 9832, issued by President Harry Truman on February 20, 1947, which directed the USITC (then known as the Tariff Commission) to prepare an annual report on the operation of the Trade Agreements Act of 1934. That report (now entitled The Year in Trade) was intended to inform government officials and private sector representatives of changes that occurred in U.S. trade and trade policy as a result of reciprocity activities.
The retrospective further noted that, in passing the Trade Act of 1974, Congress included a provision that the Commission shall at all times keep informed on the operation and effect of provisions of trade agreements entered into that relate to duties and other import restrictions of the United States.
The Commission's chronicling continues. Our current edition -- The Year in Trade 2008 -- contains timely updates on enforcement of trade remedies, on U.S. trade preference programs that benefit developing nations, on U.S. activities within multilateral institutions such as the WTO, OECD, and APEC, on the operation of free trade agreements, and on bilateral relationships with major U.S. trading partners.
Read the full 50th Anniversary Letter to Readers at: http://www.usitc.gov/publications/332/pub3192.pdf

Tonight a winner is crowned. See the results after the jump.
Kevin Skinner
Posted on 16 September 2009.
My day is made. Another nice posting, i love coming back on your site and checking some entertaining content.
Already he's getting celebrity invites! Go Kevin, I'm jealous!
I thought it entirely fitting for Barbara and Kevin to be the last two standing. An unemployed Appalachian chicken catcher and a cancer survivor with a master's degree in music. The contrast and comparison couldn't have been more acute.
I honestly thought all ten finalists deserved to win this time. I was secretly hoping the Texas Tenors could pull it off but they won't be out of sight for long.
Joyce, Kevin diesn't have the best voice. What he does is work his butt off for every performance and deliver it with 100% of the passion he possesses. His audition performance just blew me away completely.
"Don't Want To Miss a Thing" was way outside his comfort zone, too. This is a man who loves what he is doing on that stage.
I don't know if you heard what he was doing for a living before but he was catching chickens at a Polgrim's Pride chicken processing plant and had been laid off work for several months.
So we have a winner who is not the most talented nor the best educated. But he can really own a stage and captivate his audience. Keep an eye on him, he will go far.
I don't like opera very much but Barbara Padilla had me absolutely entranced. :smile:
Ok, you non watchers,,,now go to utube and listen to Barbara Padilla, the 1st runner up…now that is amazing..the Texas Tenors were outstanding, the recycle street drummers were fresh and exciting with unbelievable energy..but give America a country western singer down on his luck and they are hooked…and Susan Boyle was incredible..it was a fab show tonight.
I thought (and this is MY OPINION) that Kevin Skinner was AMAZING!!!!!~~~ Sorry, Joyce, but I did. Then again, I'm also a country fan. Lol Everyone's entitled to their own opinion though. =,P :biggrin:
Who's in the finale?

I have to disagree with "Dueling Columnist" Stephen L. Goldstein, "Not Satan, but..." (March 2), about his point that Florida's problems are caused by low taxes on the "rich." To claim that former Gov. Jeb Bush's policies had no effect on our previously healthy economy is nonsense.
Florida was one of the low tax states and thus attracted investment from businesses and people fleeing high tax states. Many of these "rich" people started businesses and hired people, providing good paying jobs.

►The Washington Times reports that United States diplomatic facilities in Kabul, Afghanistan are being left vulnerable by security weaknesses. The newspaper received a State Department Inspector General's report through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Inspector General report criticized the State Department for not physically inspecting the U.S. Embassy in Kabul before approving the security plans. The embassy was the target of a Taliban attack in 2011. The report also noted that the embassy lacked certain supplies that would be necessary in another attack, and it reported that other facilities in Afghanistan were vulnerable.
►Phishing attacks have been taking advantage of the emotional response users may feel to a recent hack into Apple's Developer Center, which is its Web site for developers. CNet reports that the phishers are asking users to change their passwords, which may dupe the recipient into visiting a Web site where they'll enter their personal information. According to the article, "scammers often use emotional responses to a recent event to induce panic in users -- which may make them less likely to double-check a domain or other details before frantically inputting their log-in details." The Apple Developer Center site was down earlier this month because an intruder tried to steal user data. CNet offers clues as to how to spot the fake e-mails.
►The nominee for deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, yesterday fought off allegations that he misused his influence. The LA Times reports that Mayorkas is defending himself on claims that he helped a company secure a special visa for a foreign visitor. The company in question is run by Anthony Rodham, brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Mayorkas is currently the head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and he testified before a Senate panel yesterday. If confirmed, Mayorkas will temporarily replace DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano until a permanent replacement is named. Rodham's company reportedly secured a visa for an investor after it was denied twice. The investigation, which is also looking into the visa program, is ongoing.
►A new report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies calculates the costs of cybercrime and cyberespionage. The report states that the estimated range of costs of these attacks in the United States would be $24 to $120 billion. These are referred to as "tolerated costs," which the report then compares with other tolerated costs to put the cost into perpsective. For example, $120 billion is only a fraction of 2011's $70 trillion GDP. Drug trafficking costs $600 billion. The report adds that the dollar amount may not fully be able to measure the effect of cybercrime and cyber espionage on innovation, trade, and social costs from job loss.

Rabbi Chaim Zaklos greeted the crowd along with local elected dignitaries, calling the menhora a symbol of "freedom and democracy not only for Jews but for all humans throughout the world."
Supervisor John Vasquez and Vacaville Mayor Steve Hardy also welcomed the crowd and praised the community for coming together in acceptance and diversity.
"To have the freedom to come together like this is what makes America great," the mayor noted.
Rabbi Zaklos agreed.
"We have a diverse crowd here ...
With that, the mayor and rabbi climbed the scaffold holding the 12-foot-tall steel menorah and lit the first lights of the eight-day holiday that began at sundown on Saturday.
The menorah will be mounted at the three-flags monument site to shine throughout the holiday, which commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean revolt of the second century BCE, when the faithful Maccabees found they only had enough oil to light the temple lamps for one day, but instead it miraculously burned for eight days.

An invaluable resource of health information.
Health Encyclopedia
related items
Cholangitis is an infection of the common bile duct, the tube that carries bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines. Bile is a chemical made by the liver that helps digest food.
- Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Cholangitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection, which can occur when the duct is blocked by something, such as a gallstone or tumor. The infection causing this condition may also spread to the liver.
Risk factors include a previous history of gallstones, sclerosing cholangitis, HIV, narrowing of the common bile duct, and, rarely, travel to countries where you might catch a worm or parasite infection.
- Symptoms
The following symptoms may occur:
- Abdominal pain
- In the right upper side or middle of the upper abdomen
- May come and go
- Pain is sharp, crampy, or dull
- Pain may move the back or below the right shoulder blade
- Chills
- Fever
- Clay-colored stools
- Dark urine
- Nausea and vomiting
- Yellowing of the skin ( jaundice) -- may come and go
- Abdominal pain
- Signs and tests
Tests may include:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
- Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
- Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTCA)
The following blood tests may be done:
- Bilirubin level
- Liver enzyme levels
- Liver function tests
- White blood count (WBC)
- Treatment
Quick diagnosis and treatment are very important.
Antibiotics to cure infection are tried first for most patients. ERCP or other surgical procedure is done when the patient is stable.
Patients who are very ill or are quickly getting worse may need surgery right away.
- Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome is usually good with treatment, but poor without it.
- Complications
- Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of cholangitis.
- Prevention
Treatment of gallstones, tumors, and infestations of parasites may reduce the risk for some people. A metal or plastic stents within the bile system may be needed to prevent recurrence.

Halo Refuser (Live)
With six releases since 2009 and a multitude of singles and compilation appearances on labels from Seattle, NYC, and Oakland, Halo Refuser has established an exciting electronica experience, delivering an all-original dance journey through broken-beat styles and cutting-edge music tech explorations.

These become manipulation fodder, re-warped from within Ableton Live (his main performance/production software for 10 years) to deliver a captivatingly danceable DJ-style live set augmented with trippy wireless vocal FX, virtuosic live keyboards and melodica, looping, wireless controller antics, and more.

Block is not avoidance. Ever. Avoidance is your cumulative chance to parry, dodge or be missed. You are not at 130% avoidance, you are at 36.07% avoidance unbuffed on your character sheet. What you have is 97.92% combat table coverage (CTC) which is the total of your avoidance and block chance. Fully stacked that trinket is at most going to provide another 4% dodge ( assuming no diminishing returns on dodge rating) leaving you a full 0.48% shy of full CTC (102.4%), which may very well be made up by buffs. Your healthpool is fine; stacking stamina pre-full CTC is not. you may be able to eek out a little less mastery fully buffed to bring your CTC down to 102.4% but probably not much, so you probably don't need to start switich out mastery for stam just yet.
Pre-Full CTC you want to keep your parry and dodge ratings equal. I know alot of people will say you want more parry was warriors have hold the line, and this is mostly true, however in terms of overall damage reduction and in coming damage stability, it is more important to maximise CTC than it is to maximise HtL uptime. Post Full CTC you want more parry than dodge rating, probably close to 30% more parry rating than dodge rating fully buffed, and including your trinkets full stacked, and windwalk's proc aveeraged over uptime.

Volunteering at Kol Emet
Only by working together do we become a community,
a congregation. There are many ways for you to get involved at Kol
Emet. Below is a list of each of the committees/groups/clubs of
Kol Emet, a description of what they do, how you can get involved,
and who to contact for additional information. Whatever time you
have to spare, you will make a difference.
Rabbi Liaison Committee
In an effort to help facilitate communications between congregants and the rabbi,
the Board has revamped its Rabbi Liaison Committee. All proceedings before the
committee will be CONFIDENTIAL. We will serve in the role of liaison between the
individual congregants and the rabbi. Any concerns as well as positive comments
will be welcomed and noted. The committee members consist of Ellie Fisher, chair;
Carol Kaplan, member, and Neil Baumgarten, member. If you would like to bring
anything to our attention, please email Ellie. She will follow
it up with an email, phone call and, if requested, a meeting with the RLC.
Contact: Ellie firstname.lastname@example.com
Adult Education Committee
The adult education committee provides opportunities for adult members
of Kol Emet to learn about and better appreciate various aspects
of Jewish life, culture and history through a wide range of methods.
These include discussion groups, formal classes, seminars/lectures,
and speakers. We strive to offer mainly complementary programming
to members of Kol Emet. The committee also disseminates information
about and coordinates efforts to attend existing/upcoming programs
in our community that fulfill this mission
How you can get involved: Assistance is always
welcome in offering suggestions and topics for future adult events
and in coordinating events for our members and community at large.
There are multiple opportunities for members to exhibit their special
skills in writing, teaching, and organizing workshops on Jewish
related topics.
Contact: Barb email@example.com
How you can get involved: Our volunteers participate by signing
up for any of the following sub-committees of the caring committee.
And signing up is as easy as sending an e-mail, or making a phone
call. Many volunteers sign up for one or more subcommittee because
the actual time commitment is relatively small.
1) Planning - Overall planning of caring committee projects, operations
and budget.
2) Meals- Providing an occassional meal to a family recovering from
3) Shiva - Attending a shiva as a representative of the synagogue.
This does not require leading a service or being responsible for
food prep or organization.
4) Grief support - Volunteers who have experienced loss of a parent,
child or spouse volunteer to provide one-on-one support for a congregant
experiencing a similar loss.
5) Reading - Volunteers read to those recovering from illness. This
may be recorded on tape, or could be visits.
6) Cancer - We have several congregants who have expressed interest
in providing peer support during cancer treatment. In addition,
we are working with our local Gilda's Club to bring a program to
the synagogue to inform congregants of the many support services
available free to families living with cancer, such as yoga, meditation
and cooking classes.
Meeting schedule: The committee purposely holds as few meetings
as possible so the volunteers spend the majority of their time involved
in the caring activity. Most interaction is done via phone and email.
We do occassionally have planning meetings. New ideas can be shared
at any time via phone or e-mail. We often publicize and send representatives
of the committee to attend meetings or seminars held on caring topics
within our larger community.
Contact: Roberta Sutker firstname.lastname@example.com
Interested people who have some financial experience are welcome
to join our meetings.
Contact: Tom firstname.lastname@example.com

Roger Skull Lamp skateboard deck.
Freak your buns off with Roger Skateboards!
This is the Skull Lamp Deck from Roger Skateboards. Available in a size of 8.0 x 32.25 inches.
Roger decks are built from 7 plys of maple wood for a better pop, great performance and a longer lasting skateboard deck.
Roger Skateboards was founded in the Summer of 2008 and is owned and operated by the unlikely duo, Stacy Lowery and Michael Sieben. Stacy wears fancy leather jackets and has a nice motorcycle and Sieben can barely skateboard and almost always needs a haircut. Nevertheless, the two of them have somehow managed to create a truly unique skateboarding company: Roger Skateboards.
This is the skateboard deck only. To complete a full skateboard assembly, you will also need grip tape, trucks, hardware, bearings and wheels, which can be ordered individually or as a full gear package in a separate listing on ChutingStar-Skate.
Note: Desired skateboard width can vary based on skate style, body size and individual preference. But in general, 7.5"-7.8" widths work great for younger skaters, street skaters or those needing a board that is easier to maneuver for tricks.

Vintage photos of:
October 1913. San Antonio, Texas. "Sixteen-year-old messenger boy making delivery to 'crib' in Red Light." Photo by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size.
I am a big fan of Lewis Hine and his documentary photographs. I really enjoy the snapshot quality he adds to the composition of his images. And the print quality is always great. He always manages to capture such a great moment on the faces of his subjects. Whether he manipulated and directed them or not, I don't think it matters. They still come across as natural and that is the important part.
How do you know what this photo is about? I looks like anywhere 1900 USA.
[How do we know what any of these photos are about? Because the photographers captioned them. - Dave]
You might have expected here, especially from Lewis Hine, a man for whom the camera was usually a weapon in a moral crusade, that the woman would be at least a little ashamed of being photographed like this: in flagrante, as it were. But look at her! She couldn't care less. That's such a wonderfully bold, amused, shameless look.
Love her mobcap -- soooo sexy.

An Employee Manual, used correctly, will accurately communicate your company philosophy, policies and procedures and answer almost every employment related question your employees could possibly ask. The cost is miniscule compared to the cost of dealing with an employee problem. Protect your business and your reputation, and make life easier for your employees. Let them know clearly what you will do for them, and what you expect them to do for you.
If you don't already have an Employee Manual, it is time to get one and formalize your company's policies and procedures. But don't settle for the "one size fits all" manual. Your industry, organizational culture, company objectives, and workforce are unique. Use a manual that represents you and your business.
How to Use
The Employee Manual is saved in RichText format (.rtf). The files can be opened by most word proces
How to customize your construction Employee Manual. Select and edit the appropriate policies and procedures for your construction business.
sing programs.
Changes are done with a few strokes of the keyboard.
Your first step will be to insert your actual Company name. Start with your curser at the very beginning of the document, click "Edit" on the Microsoft tool bar and then choose "Replace". Fill in "Find what" with (exactly as shown) and fill in "Replace with" with your actual company name (for example Stone Construction Services, Inc., ABC Construction, etc.)
Next, print out this manual and read every single policy. This manual contains over 120 recommended policies and you can customize them any way you wish. You can decide to keep them as is, amend a policy or delete any policy. If you choose to delete or change a policy simply edit the document with normal word processing procedures.
There are also 21 policies that state "Insert Here", followed by an Example. The purpose of the example is only to show what could appear here - you need to provide your own language. Simply cut and paste from another document, or type in the language you would like to use.
After making changes, print the manual and read it, again. You are not only looking for errors after you have edited your manual, you are also becoming familiar with your manual. Since you are the Owner, you should know your policies and procedures inside and out.
Lastly, review the page numbers on your table of contents and update them if necessary.
After you have edited your manual to your liking and have printed it, call a trusted attorney to review it.
The final step is the distribution of your manual. It is suggested that you require all employees to attend a general meeting. Read the manual cover to cover and answer any questions that are asked. Have each employee sign the Acknowledgement and Agreement form that is included (this includes an initial on the second page, and a full signature at the end).
Every employee should be given a copy of the manual. For cost savings, you may only print enough to share around the room, but we strongly suggest a manual always be available for review during normal working hours, and your Supervisors always have a copy on hand for immediate access and review.
Although this manual comes with no guarantees, it is a tool for you to use when you need to make impartial and consistent employee related decisions. Teach both your employees and your Managers how to use it and let your manual effectively communicate YOUR Company policies and procedures.

The New York State Council of School Superintendents has announced that Superintendent Hank Grishman of the Jericho Union Free School District has been named the 2012 New York State School Superintendent of the Year.
Dr. Marilyn C. Terranova, President of The Council and Superintendent of Eastchester Schools, said, "Hank's selection recognizes his career of successful school district leadership serving diverse communities across our state, as well as his support for colleagues through wide-ranging contributions to the council's work."
"I am honored and humbled," said Grishman. "This is not something that I achieved on my own – it is with the collaboration and support from the community, parents, students, teachers, staff, administrators and the Board of Education."
Grishman became the Jericho superintendent in 1995. With a student enrollment of 3,200, Jericho was most recently ranked number 40 on the U.S. News & World Report list for Best High Schools for Math and Science, one of the few open enrollment schools listed in the Top 40.
Jericho also ranked number 76 in the latest "High School Challenge" listing published by The Washington Post, again ranking as one of the highest public schools nationally.
Council Executive Director, Dr. Robert Reidy, Jr., said, "Hank is an outstanding person, educator and child advocate. His statewide leadership has positively influenced the children of New York State."
Grishman has had a long and diversified career as a school district leader. He has served as superintendent of five New York districts over a span of 33 years. He began his work as a superintendent in 1978, leading the Sharon Springs Central School District in rural Schoharie County.
He began his career in education as an elementary and middle school mathematics teacher. His first administrative position was as an elementary school principal in Yonkers, where he grew up.
In nominating Grishman, Jericho school board president Joseph Lorintz wrote "During his 17-year tenure as our educational leader, Hank has always far exceeded expectations in all of his responsibilities."
Some accomplishments include:
-Successfully managing the district's surging population – an almost 50 percent increase in student enrollment resulted in opening a new elementary school, and required voter approval of financing for a major expansion project at the middle/high school complex.
-Leading the successful integration of an increasingly diverse student population and their families into the school community: in the last 10 years, Jericho's population has grown dramatically more diverse – from less than 10 percent other than white, to almost 40 percent.
-Under his leadership, special education services were expanded and reorganized in Jericho to better meet the needs of all students including implementing a co-teaching model, which raises the level of effective special educational instruction.
-New electives were added during his tenure including approximately ten new AP courses and a wide variety of electives in all curriculum areas. A representative list includes a four-year engineering sequence, Mandarin Chinese, virtual enterprise, tournament debate, sports medicine, Asian American literature, discrete math, multivariable calculus, facing history, forensics, and philosophy.
-School district relationships with Adelphi, Hofstra, St. Johns, RIT, Syracuse University, SUNY Old Westbury, C.W. Post, and NYIT were facilitated which enable students to garner college credit for high school courses.
-In an effort to keep both the board and community apprised of new courses and curricular enhancements, district administrators, teachers and students conduct academic informational presentations at each board meeting, an effort that he started and was featured as best practices in the New York State School Boards publication.
-A joint council of PTAs was created in the district under his leadership, with representation from the six district PTAs. The council meets on a regular basis with central administration to discuss topics of interest, voice concerns and receive updates on future plans.
-Under his guidance, additional conference days, extended faculty meetings and significant investment in professional development activities have been added each year to keep faculty on top of emerging research and successful practices.
-All district schools are recognized as national blue ribbon schools.
Grishman has received numerous prestigious recognitions that highlight his educational career and community commitment.Among his awards are:
-Nassau BOCES Partners in Education Award
-Educator of the Year from the Korean Parents Association of Long Island
-Distinguished Service from the NYS Athletic Administrators Association
-Distinguished Service from the Council of Administrators
-Jericho Athletic Association Community Service Award
-Friend of Education from NYSUT
He has also served as President and member the Executive Committee of the New York State Council of School Superintendents; President and officer of the Executive Committee for the Leadership for Educational Achievement Foundation, Inc.; Member of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, Inc., Central Committee; NYSPHSAA Section VIII, Chair Superintendent's Board; Governing Board Member of the American Association of School Administrators and President and current member of the Executive Committee of the Nassau County Council of School Superintendents.
As a member of the Executive Committee and an officer of the New York State Council of School Superintendents (The Council), Grishman implemented and participated in a wide array of initiatives including but not limited to the introduction of legal services for all members of The Council, the expansion of professional development opportunities, and the implementation of a successful strategic partnership program.
As the founding president of The Leadership for Educational Achievement Foundation, Inc. (LEAF, Inc.) the professional development arm of The Council, Grishman helped develop a Future Superintendents Academy, a year-long program dedicated to preparing outstanding state educational leaders for the superintendency. He also oversaw collaborative relationships with the LEAF Board to garner both public and private funding for a broad range of professional development initiatives.
Grishman also played a leadership role in The Council's support of state efforts to strengthen school financial accountability.
His service as a superintendent included leadership of these districts: Sharon Springs (Sharon Springs (1978–1982), Port Byron (1982–1987), Mohonasen (1987–1992), Plainview-Old Bethpage (1992–1995), and Jericho (1995 to present).
Grishman and his wife Jill, a retired social studies and English teacher from the Wantagh School District, currently reside in Old Bethpage. They have two married sons; Matthew, his wife Amie and their two sons who live in Rocklin, California, and Daniel and his wife Gillian and their three daughters who reside in Jericho.
As the New York State Superintendent of the Year, he now becomes New York's candidate for national superintendent of the year, to be awarded at AASA's National Conference on Education in Houston, Texas, in February 2012.
The Superintendent of the Year Award was established in 1988 by the American Association of School Administrators and is co-sponsored by the ARAMARK Education and the ING Foundation. The New York State Council of School Superintendents is a professional and advocacy organization with over a century of service to school superintendents and assistant superintendents in New York State. The Council provides more than 750 members with numerous professional development opportunities, publications and personal services while advocating for public education and the superintendency.

Three things that went right
One-to-three MVP: Among the biggest questions about the Marlins' lineup was how Hanley Ramirez would transition from leadoff to No. 3 hitter. Quite well it turns out. Ramirez is the first Marlin to lead the National League in hitting (.349) at the All-Star break. If not for Albert Pujols having a historic offensive season, Ramirez would be the front-runner for NL Most Valuable Player. He is leading the majors with a .456 average with runners in scoring position.

|Dimension Films
Dimension Extreme
Ovation TV (owned with Hubbard Media Group)
Dragon Dynasty (jointly owned by Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment)
Third Rail Releasing
The Miriam Collection
|Starz Distribution (25%) (75% owned by Starz Inc.)
The Weinstein Company (TWC) is an American mini-major film studio founded by Bob and Harvey Weinstein in 2005 after the brothers left the then-Disney-owned Miramax Films, which they had co-founded in 1979. They retained ownership of the Dimension Films label of Miramax. It is one of the largest mini-major film studios in North America.[2]
Their first releases in 2005 included the dramatic thriller Derailed (starring Jennifer Aniston, Vincent Cassel and Clive Owen), the offbeat comedy-drama Transamerica (starring Felicity Huffman) the computer-animated family film Hoodwinked, the World War II–era comedy-drama Mrs Henderson Presents (starring Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins), and the caper comedy The Matador (starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear).
In February 2006, TWC announced a distribution pact with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[3] MGM distributed the product domestically in theatres, while TWC will retain long-term ownership of their product. On July 13, 2006, the Weinsteins and Robert L. Johnson announced the creation of a joint venture studio titled Our Stories Films, which will distribute African-American-oriented films.[4] In late August 2006, it was announced that TWC and co-investors Hubbard Media Group purchased Ovation TV, an arts-focused cable channel.[5] In November 2006, TWC announced a three-year deal with Blockbuster Video to give the video renting company exclusive rights for rentals starting on January 1, 2007.[6] However, under the First Sale Doctrine of United States copyright law, other rental companies are able to rent copies of the company's movies purchased at retail.
The company is the co-producer, along with Miramax, of the Lifetime reality series Project Runway, which for its first five seasons aired on Bravo. The series won a Peabody Award in 2007.[7]
On May 23, 2007, the Weinstein Company announced the launch of three new direct-to-video labels: The Miriam Collection, Kaleidoscope TWC, and Dimension Extreme.[8][9]
On February 8, 2008, TWC launched a distributor called Third Rail Releasing that released films aimed mainly at the home video market.[10] On September 25, 2008, TWC ended its three-year distribution pact with MGM three months before the December 31 end date. This happened in part because TWC had struck a television output deal with Showtime, though not through MGM's output deal with them. During the span of their pact, TWC paid for marketing and prints, while MGM received a distribution fee for booking theatres.[11]
In 2009, TWC might have lost the rights to the movie Sin City 2. The first film cost only 40 million dollars to make and brought in almost 159 million in box office alone.[12] Weinstein Company lawyer Bert Fields quickly denied this report saying "TWC's rights to produce sequels to Sin City remain intact as they always have been. Any suggestion to the contrary is complete hogwash."[13][14] In June 2009, the Weinstein Company announced the hiring of a financial adviser to restructure the finances of the company.[15] Since July, 2009, many layoffs occurred at TWC, and the release dates of some films were pushed back.[16][17] On September 14, 2009, TWC terminated its stake in Genius Products, which served as TWC's home video distributor from 2006 to 2009. Genius however, had announced to exit the home video distribution business and the DVD rights that were distributed by Genius were sold to Vivendi Entertainment. TWC also struck a deal with Vivendi.[18] The same year, it won a Peabody Award for The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency.[19]
In January 2010, TWC announced more layoffs at the company after the box office failure of Nine.[20] On February 21, 2010, The Weinstein Company made a deal with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releasing the DVDs through Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group.[21] Bob and Harvey Weinstein attempted to buy back Miramax from Disney in 2010, but the attempt was unsuccessful.[22]
An ownership interest in TWC's library, consisting of 200 titles, will be sold off to Goldman Sachs and Assured Guaranty. The deal, if successful, will free the Weinsteins from debt.[23]
On January 4, 2011, the Weinstein Company has agreed to acquire a 25% stake in Starz Media. Because of this, Starz Media subsidiary Anchor Bay Entertainment became the home video distributor for all TWC films.[24] On February 3, 2011, the Weinsteins extracted a $75 million consolation prize from their former parent company, Disney, thus improving their filmmaking career. As a result, Disney handed over its 50% stake in Project Runaway, and reduced its share in four jointly owned films, including Scary Movie and Spy Kids, from 50% to 5%.[25] On February 27, 2011, TWC's distributed film The King's Speech brought to the company their first Academy Award for Best Picture at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, after their last Best Picture Oscar winner Chicago won in 2002 when Bob and Harvey Weinstein were at Miramax, controlled by then corporate owner Disney, and their previous Best Picture nominees for TWC were 2008's The Reader and 2009's Inglourious Basterds, the latter film a co-production with Universal Pictures and A Band Apart.[26] In March 2011, the company formed a video game division named TWC Games.[27] TWC Games formed a strategic consultancy with Beefy Media, a video game production company, to foster relationships with publishers and create high-quality games.[27]
On February 26, 2012, after TWC's purchase of the rights to release Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist in the United States, which won the prestigious Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for Jean Dujardin, The Artist won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. This is the second consecutive Oscar for Best Picture awarded to the Weinstein Company. The last independent mini-major to win back-to-back Oscars for Best Picture was Orion Pictures for their films Dances with Wolves in 1990 and The Silence of the Lambs in 1991.
TWC distributes films on multiple formats (including video-on-demand) through its Radius-TWC brand.[28] In September 2013, Bob and Harvey Weinstein launched the TWC-Dimension label to distribute projects that they both share interest in.[29]
On November 4, 2013, TWC announced they have picked up U.S. distribution rights to the British drama series Peaky Blinders from Endemol.[30]
In December 2013, Miramax and TWC entered a 20-year joint-venture agreement to develop and produce films, TV series, and stage shows. The deal will allow the Weinsteins to exploit the 700-film Miramax library. Sequels to Rounders and Shakespeare in Love are among the films being developed under this new deal, and series based on Good Will Hunting and Flirting with Disaster are being planned as well. Other developments include a Stephen Colbert-written film titled The Alibi, and an adaptation of Liz Jensen's novel The Ninth Life of Louis Drax, that late filmmakers Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack intended to make. Miramax will put up the financing and handle international sales while the Weinstein Company will develop the projects and distribute the titles domestically.[31]
In May 2014, the company agreed to a five-year multi-picture financing deal with Worldview Entertainment.[32]
Weinstein books[edit]
Upon leaving Disney, the Weinsteins reached an agreement to bring over Rob Weisbach, the CEO of their publishing imprint, Miramax Books, to the Weinstein Company. Weisbach would continue to manage all of Miramax Books' existing titles until they were published but would acquire all new titles for Weinstein, while Disney would acquire new titles under their Hyperion imprint.[33] Judy Hottensen is currently acting president of Weinstein Books.[34]
Weinstein Books published its first book, Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, on September 4, 2007.[35]
On October 19, 2009, TWC announced a joint venture with Perseus Book Group, whereby Perseus would be responsible for marketing, editing, publishing and distribution of Weinstein Books releases.[36]

Unless you know for a fact that the ice is safe to walk on, stay off it! A general rule of thumb is that you need at the very least four inches of ice to be able to support one person on foot. However, ice experts and winter survivalists will tell you there is NO such thing as safe ice. You are taking a risk anytime you travel on ice.
You must move quickly because your body temperature will drop immediately. Grab for surface ice in the direction from where you came. If need be, use a knife or any sharp object you have to dig into the ice and pull yourself out of the water. Kicking your feet in a swimming motion may help propel you onto the ice. Roll or crawl away from the hole (do not stand up) and move across the ice in the same direction you came from, where the ice presumably is safer.
Once you reach a safe area, you can roll in the snow to blot some of the water off your body. You must be treated for hypothermia as soon as possible. Get into dry clothes immediately. Take shelter if available and stay out of the wind. If you need to and can do it, start a fire to get warm. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic beverages is good, but do not drink alcohol-it will further increase heat loss. Seek professional medical care as soon as possible for follow-up treatment.
If you are snowmobiling when you go through the ice, your snowmobile suit (even a non-buoyant one) and helmet may keep you afloat for several minutes.

Some say the scientific mind can be described as half-scholar, half-explorer. As a Biology major pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, you'll be immersed in many aspects of biology, from biomolecules to biomes. You'll learn in the classroom and outside it. IUP's Biology professors are highly committed to getting students involved in field experiences and hands-on projects.
Among the courses you'll take are Principles of Biology, Botany, General Zoology, Microbiology, Genetics, and Physics. You'll also choose other Biology courses, such as Field Botany, Ornithology, Field Zoology, Ecology, Immunology, Limnology, Animal Behavior, Plant Physiology, and Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. In addition, you'll select classes from related disciplines such as Chemistry, Math, and Geoscience. An internship can be incorporated with planning, although the required course list is extensive, so as to provide a strong background for professional work or graduate study.
IUP's Biology department has the academic size and diversity to give you the opportunities found at larger research institutions while also providing you with the kind of more personal learning community found at smaller colleges.
The Bachelor of Science in Biology will prepare you for a career in science or to continue your education at the graduate level. According to a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 39 percent of all biological scientists were employed by the government at various levels. Most of the federal biological scientists, the report states, worked for the departments of Agriculture, Interior, and Defense and for the National Institutes of Health.
The report, based on an employment study, found that most of the remainder of the biological scientists worked in research and testing laboratories, the pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing industries, or colleges and universities.

Two trophies picked up by team DBR last week at donnington, top weekend.
Dovi has proven his class this season, and it will interesting to see if he can nip Stoner for third before the end of the season. Im of the opinion he will due to Casey not being fully fit yet.
I think Crutchlow would have jammed in a block as for third today though, if it had been anyone but his tea mate. He has the pace to podium regular ,just lacking that bit of experience at this level Dovi has....
Why did Spies keep looking backwards though??? thats an amateur mistake and he cracked under the pressure. Best ride ive seen for a long time by him though.

Unfortunatly for us, and Motogp, Italys number 1 rider is just about to win the WSBK title.

O.1 sec behind his far more experienced 'Alien' team mate. Dovi has started 4 times as many motogp races as Cal and should be beating him by miles.

I know you`re being deliberately daft Rev, of course coming over the line a tenth of a second behind your team mate in 4th doesn`t make any one a "big loser".
Honda don't want him. Yamaha don't want him. Title chance 0. Except it, he has.
Since Honda brought forward next years bike they have won 4 out of 5 ( and if Dani had got away normally at Misano probably 5 out of 5) How Casey performs and how much of a team player he decides to be could well decide the title
