Review this movie
Nov 10, 2014With terrible songs, an extremely derivative and overused plot & setting (stranded on a beach) and poor dialogue, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked might entertain younger audiences but no one older.
Dec 17, 2013With terrible songs, an extremely derivative and overused plot & setting (stranded on a beach) and poor dialogue, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked might entertain younger audiences but no one older.
Sep 26, 2013This is just some 10 year old made movie who was high on cocaine! The chipmunks were crazy as hell! I wish this movie never existed. EVER. Also overall I think the 10 year old who made this should go back to school!
Jul 23, 2013These singing, old, used chimpunks are at it again, but in a tropical location. The film is utterly predictable and has the same shipwrecked-like film ever produced. It has some moments of quirkiness but overall the film suffers entirely from its childish humor, weak script, and boring characters. For kids, it may be an average film to enjoy, but to adults, it will be the one film you'd probably fall asleep in.… Expand
Jul 18, 2013Las cosas se fueron a lo ridiculo dejando a alvin a las ardillas en la ridicules y desastre total cada vez se quiebra mas esta pobre pelicula de donde se saco tanto lo bueno de la trilogia como lo malo
Jul 5, 2013Stupid unrealistic pile of dirt. Jason Lee clearly wants money cause i personally would never sign up to put on a show like this. Very dumb. My ears started hurting by the end of it.
Feb 7, 2013I rate this movie with a 3 for their excellent music, because if not for the music would have rated it a 1.
Dec 31, 2012I do not see any ratings by the target audience.
I cannot pry my 7 yr old away from the DVD. She simply loves the movie and is hoping for a 4th!!!
Dec 17, 2012This 'film' is absolutely terrible. All I really need to say.
Oct 28, 2012"Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" is a cute, funny, and unique moive. Like the movies before it was good and I think it'd be cool if there was a television series or another sequel.
Aug 28, 2012best film of 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jul 30, 2012This Film was Pretty decent despite what others say, but I can see where they are coming from. But The kids loved and as adults it does not really matter what we think because at the end of the day it was aimed at the kids. But in fairness I think they tried to appeal to low teens as well this time. Which Ultimately let the film down. There is nothing that unique so it would not be my first choice film or the Kids's, sadly! Bye Bye Chipmunks… Expand
Jun 30, 2012This bye far is the WORST Alvin and the chipmunks and the worst movie i have ever seen in my entire life. If you have a 6 year old and lower child they would like this movie..... maybe.
Jun 21, 2012Terrible worst movie of 2011 and one of the worst movies in history just stupid horrible nothing special worst sequel and worst chipmunk movie very bad movie don't watch it
Apr 9, 2012I dont understand what is with all these bad reviews. I mean the chipmunks are like ten THEY ARE GOING TO BE CHILDISH ! Sure I will admit it is not the best alvin and the chipmunks movie but who cares? I just want to watch a film that will at least make me smile afterwards and this does that and more !
Apr 3, 2012First off, I would give this a 5, and that's being very nice. Movie is descent. The acting is descent. The music is music. Not bad, but not amazing. Story can be stupid. You can these people are running out of ideas to continue. Overall, this a descent movie to take your 4 year old to see. You'll hate it, but the kids Will love it.
Mar 7, 2012This movie is in short: terrible. The humor is so childish that not even a 9 year-old would laugh at it and plus they have already made two bad enough movies before this why can't they just quit while they are ahead. The singing is lame, the movie is super short, and there is no humor whatsoever. If you are two years old this movie might be up your alley. Save your $15 and don't watch it.
Jan 17, 2012Hmmmmm what can i possibly say... this movie is not good BUT i actually survived watching it so i didn't hesitate.
It definitely wont keep any memories and isn't a recommended movie.
Jan 16, 2012At some point in my life, I'm sure I've seen a movie just as bad as "Alvin & the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked," but for the life of me, I can't think of one. Oh, wait! "The Iron Lady."
My 10-year old gave it a 3. I say zero, so we compromised.
Jan 16, 2012Out of all the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movies, this is probably and obviously the worst. The whole film is forgettable, dull and boring. The scenes are also predictable in my opinion. It did not meet up with my expectations. This is just a total mess!
Jan 11, 2012There is no creativity in this movie whatsoever. The acting was bad, the pop culture references were cheap, and the writing was horrible. I knew I wasn't going to like this when I went to see it but I hoped that it would at least be cute. But no. They had to try really hard to make this bad. And they have succeeded. Bravo.
Jan 9, 2012After watching even 10 minutes of this, I was certain that the chances of developing eye-cancer increased by a manifold not to mention total stupidity. Do yourself a favour, don't watch this junk.
Jan 9, 2012Ugh. what a piece of s***. I went to the cinema with my little brother, and i almost killed myself. It's not funny, i can't imagine why children think this is funny, it's an abomination in cinema history, in humanity history, it's a damn bad movie!
Jan 2, 2012Watching it right now. It's ok nothing special. Xstuftvgtxcfcc
Jan 2, 2012The 1st One Was S H.I.T.T. Y And So It This One..
Flush Alvin & The Chipmunks Down The Freakin Toilet Please! :)
Dec 29, 2011Un plaisir plus que coupable de voir Alvin et les Chipmunks. Un plaisir qui s'explique par une sorte de coup de coeur de ce trio de chanteurs à poils causé notamment par ces voix dignes de Tic et Tac. Si j'ai suivi la saga, c'est bien pour les voir et les entendre. Parce que, si je devais réellement prendre en compte le film, je le critiquerais comme pour les deux premiers opus : aucune histoire abordable, mauvais jeu d'acteur, une raffale de gags qui tombent à plat, trop de reprises d'autres films (ici Seul au Monde et Toy Story 3, avec une citation célèbre du Seigneur des Anneaux), totalement immature... Bref, un véritable nanar pour enfants. Il n'empêche que ce troisième opus se laisse regarder comme les autres "grâce" à ces petites boules de poils attendrissantes qui reprennent de manière entraînante certaines chansons récentes (de Lady Gaga, LMFAO...). A voir, à condition d'aimer les Chipmunks. Dans le cas contraire, ne gâcher pas votre argent avec une place ou bien le dvd.… Expand
Dec 29, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i think this film is very interesting,,alot of singing and entertaiment,,its suitable for every age group.. i really enjoy this movie very much cause its kinda comedy too.… Expand
Dec 28, 2011These films are my guilty pleasure. Sure, they're ridiculous, overblown and immature, but that's where their appeal lies. Still, I think they should stop making these films now. The first film was already the best movie that could be made with these characters, so the series can only get worse.
Honestly, the movie was only made to appeal to the younger folks, and it fulfills that purpose just fine.… Expand
Dec 28, 2011Yet another waste of time that is Alvin and the Chipmunks. The annoying squeal of these pests make the actors seem fools. It seems the songs are just re-pitched in Audacity or another free program. How people find it even the slightest amount amusing baffles me. It gives me a headache. Here's a tip to the actors/directors and others: give up on the stupid game while you're still ahead with your cash.… Expand
Dec 26, 2011A 5 maybe, for little kids, but a -10 for anyone who knows true film. Oscar or Not? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 25, 2011This movie was awful, the annoying sound of those chipmunks singing and speaking is enough for you to just walk out out, the movie is long, boring, and extremley childish. Not even kids will find this amusing my little cousins hated it. This movie is no good as its characters are at singing and they suck at singing!
Dec 23, 2011The only reason I gave this a 1 and not a 0 is because it would be a fun movie for toddlers. But to us who understand what "real" movies are, this movie is just an annoying and noisy piece of junk.
Dec 23, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This disgraceful impudence of these furry rodents must come to a full hearted end! Any nostalgia factor towards the titular, Alvin and his cohorts has already been exposed of, and the fallout of this most gruesome of alterations is appalling to the point I dare not even gaze towards it much longer! Every nickel spent towards this waste of human thought and money brings me closer to not just a brutal display of projectile vomit, but closer to my head implanted on the pavement 3 feet deep in. Within this movie, once lovable shenanigans of our nostalgic protagonist, the ruffian but loveable Alvin, reaches a factor in which it is annoying. Due to his tomfoolery, his need to go about and shove his tuffs of fur in and about everyone's business has reached the point it insults everyone's intelligence. Their cruise, that brings us eventually to our punful shipwrecking, is annoying to the point their capers fail to bring a smile to my once gleeful face. This movie's humor consists of not just hurtful, if not racist humor situations, in which everyone acts as expected according to skin color, or, for lack of better term, fatness. Case and point, the over weight boy surrendering his kite for a plate of donuts, Alvin taking on the mannerisms expecting of a rapper type persona, and the actions of the females around the dance scene within the midst of the middle act. What kind of child friendly movie allows for such harmful ideas to be laughed along with. This is only comparable to North Korea's actions of including hurtful and spiteful lyrics within children's nurseries. This is what we're getting at America, North Korea. And Communism. As the movie goes on, we eventually leave hurtful towards out race and outward appearance, and just enter hurtful to out minds and self respect. As the film reaches it's second half, the cast of this long-derailed train finally, and I put emphasis on FINALLY, reach the promised island. The first thing we're greeted to after out journey about stereotypes, hurtful comedy, and just foolish antics that look down upon our children like a principal to a common hoodlum? Simple, a parody of LOST. Among other things, the second act of this movie proves to be almost as spiteful as the very introduction to our cast and crew. The movie continues on it's merry way of talking down to your children and you, by treating us like we're the fools, who'll laugh at any pop cultural thing brought up! My words have been hateful so far, and let me assure you, it shall continue down this slope to insanity! It shall! I shall rain down with my rage and hatred! HOW DARE CGI CHIMPMUNKS, TAKE A SMALL CHUNK OF MY WALLET, AND SWALLOW IT DOWN THEIR ANIMATED GULLETS! HOW DARE THEY DIGEST MY CURRENCY, RENDER MY VIEWING EXPERIENCE RUINED FOREVER! GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *thanks for reading :3… Expand
Dec 17, 2011My husband & I saw the Chipwrecked movie this AM. We really enjoyed the movie! It was cute. I think it deserves a great rating. It is sweet, cute, and a fine plot. We need family friendly, feel good movies today. It starts well and ends well. If you like the chipmunks, you will like this movie as well.
As for parents: Are you cool with feeling like you're having artificial sweetener sandblasted into your eyeballs for 87 minutes?
To get serious about Alvin for a moment, there are worse things for your kid to be into.
It really couldn't have been easy for Jason Lee ("Almost Famous") to keep a straight face while saying, "I'm not in this for the money.''

Tag: cyberthreats
At a hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee today, National Intelligence Director James clapper said cyberthreats are the biggest problem facing the U.S. today. His prepared remarks are here.
Clapper explained that cyber threats are broken into two terms: cyberattacks and cyberespionage. Cyberattacks aim at creating physical effects or to manipulate, disrupt or delete data. "It might range from a denial-of-service operation that temporarily prevents access to a website to an attack on a power turbine that causes physical damage and an outage lasting for days," he said. Cyber espionage refers to stealing data from a variety of sources.
"We judge that there is a remote chance of a major cyberattack against U.S. critical infrastructure systems during the next two years that would result in long-term, wide-scale disruption of services, such as a regional power outage," Clapper said.

Police decline to reopen mobile phone hacking case
The UK Police have said no further investigation is needed into the News of the World phone tapping scandal. The paper's former royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, and a private detective accomplice Glen Mulcaire, were jailed over the illegal wiretapping of the mobile phones of royal aides in 2007. The scandal was re-opened on …
There's never a policeman when you want one
I'm hoping that the DPP will order the police to take another look.
However, whilst we're waiting for the gears of politics and law to grind into action, I would like to point you at an excellent article on channel4.com/news which explained just how you might go about eavesdropping on a phone.
When this story first broke I was of the opinion "But I thought GSM was secure!". Then I thought "Ah, they've been hacking by means of default pins". Well, it seems the NotW peeps have been doing just that - but the article on the aforementioned site explains about that and several other methods besides.
Very illuminating.
Puppet on a String
Yates of the Yard is a Yes Ma'am? He is certainly no Gene Hunt.
Bad precedent - No cookie!
Oh my! Did anyone else see what they did there?
By classing listening to someone else's stored voicemail *after the fact* as "interception", they raised the stakes for any type of access for voicemail or other stored communication, like email, web pages, etc. - even accidental access. Several times I have been in the presence of people that can't understand why other people's voicemail is in there system... and its because they entered the wrong phone number with the default password.
This access could now be prosecuted as illegal access even though it might be unintentional. What about that poor bloke from Blighty that's being extradited to the US for "hacking"? Could this now mean that he might now be classified as breaking UK law?
'Course the cops don't want a light shone on these practices
Would I be one to suggest that police forces up and down the country have yet to come to terms with the fact that transgression of RIPA is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE!?
Oh no sir, none of this "we'll have a listen even though we know we can't use it in evidence" of days gone by.
The cops don't want criminal prosecutions for what reason?!
Oh - isn't the EU already investigating the UK for inadequate protection of electronic communications???
So what the police are saying is...
"... we know they did it, but there's sod all way to prove it, and that hasn't changed since last week"
As pointed out by the guardian..
The police where doing the politician thing of answering a different question to what was asked.
The question asked was:
Was the wholesale 'hacking' of phones being done by many journalists at NOTW affecting 1000's of people.
The answer from the Met went out of its way to only mention the two people charged. Even then we have the strange situation of the NOTW royal correspondent on one hand being tagged as 'the only bad penny' while the police admit that the PI hacked celebs, politicians and sports people. Now unless he was moonlighting on the side in other parts of NOTW why did he request those hacks and if he did not who did?
Like I said on the original article...
...told ya so.
Let's just hope the victims get to sue the butt off the paper.
Knee jerk
My immediate reaction was one of anger - typical of the police to drop a case when there is politics involved.
However, it has to be said that it would be a major technical challenge to obtain any evidence that would stand up in court this far after the event. The cost of the process would be very high indeed and I think that the police personnel involved might be better utilised elsewhere.
I regret to say that I think on this occasion, I think they have made the right choice - it sucks that Murdoch's minions get away with a major breach of the law. Unfortunately, whilst people continue to buy the garbage that passes for news print, they will continue to justify their actions.
What do we do now?
Do we petition Downing Street?
Do we assemble peacefully in London?
Do we assemble peacefully outside Scotland Yard?
Phone tapping?
"...had the ability to illegally intercept mobile phone voice mails, commonly known as phone tapping."
I thought phone tapping was where calls are intercepted in real time, either by inserting a tap on a line or by using call redirection.
Dialling up an operator's voicemail gateway and using someone else's credentials to listen to their voicemail is something different - still illegal but not phone tapping. Surely "The Yard" would know the difference becuase they get to do it legally (and probably illegally as well).
"Our inquiries found that these two men had the ability to illegally intercept mobile phone voice mails, commonly known as phone tapping."
Note, as per other reports, it says VOICEMAILS not CALLS. This is not wiretapping.
It is the actually the most basic form of hacking - guessing the password to someones account.
This does not involve the victims handset at all - you can dial up any networks voicemail facility from any phone, input the target phone number to select the appropriate mailbox and then with a simple 4 digit pin, you're in. As a security consultant said on BBC news the other day - account holders often mailbox passwords are left as the default.
Just like the police said - nothing to see here, move along. It is in fact quite lame. The media are trying to inflate the importance of the story by *implying* that actual calls were eavesdropped. Meh.
Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
Face it, with mobile phone you have no expectation of privacy. To consider otherwise is to dream.
However, once the powers that be have ingrained in us "NtH-NtF" ID Cards & the NIR become easy meat.
It just is not acceptable that, firstly, those in power consider it is their right to, regardless of the law or civil practice, their desire to make money over rides privacy and, secondly, the British public continue to stand by while they are made to look like complete jerks by those in power.
I want change and I want it NOW!
OK, I'll put the straight jacket back on and take my medicine, sorry Nursey.....
Hack this, tap that
I cringed every time the media call this unauthorized access phone hacking or tapping, stop this nonsense forthwith.
Logging in to someone's account with their password is not hacking. It's not breaking and entering if you have a key, it's trespass.
Listening to someone's messages is not phone tapping. Watching your home made porno isn't the same as secretly taping you having sex.
makes you wonder
if Murdoch has got some goodies on Police higher ups and they don't want it coming out into the open
@Gaz Davidson
"Logging in to someone's account with their password is not hacking. It's not breaking and entering if you have a key, it's trespass."
Oddly enough I cringe every time I see somebody try to draw a direct parallel between the world of electronic information storage and the world of physical property. They are not the same. For example if I were to steal you car you would no longer be in possession of your car. If I were to access your computer and take copies of all your files you would still be in possession of those files. You can't draw a direct parallel between the two.
You have created your own definition of hacking which equates to breaking and entering. Sorry, but I don't think that even comes close to what most people understand hacking to be. Most people would, I think, consider hacking to be accessing a computer system without authorization. A definition which unarguably includes accessing a voicemail box without the owner's consent. By your definition using a password obtained by a trojan or indeed a sneaky little sniffer on the keyboard cable to access a computer would not be hacking.
You are assuming that all the mailboxes concerned were accessed using the default PIN. As has already been pointed out most voicemail systems are inherently insecure because they don't lock out the account after a number of failed attempts. So it's simple (if potentially costly) to access a voicemail box by trying every PIN starting with all zeroes and working your way up. There's little effort involved in this method since it could be done with software, all you would need is the mailbox number, a PC and a modem. Feed it the number and leave it a while, come back later and you've got what you wanted. Does that still not meet with your personal description of hacking?
Even the freaking Grauniad had to admit that they had no new evidence of (more) "phone hacking" - or even new evidence concerning the cases already reported, analysed and the miscreants punished. Basically this was all intended to stir sh-i-t up for the Tories and take the heat off Gordo and his cronies for a short time.
And guess what - it worked!
I may be mistaken, but if there is a statement from the paper that "broke" the story saying that the 'criminals' have not been caught doing it again - as against just rehashing the old news about the stuff they got done for already - then surely expecting the Boys and Girls in Blue to come up with new evidence is a little daft?
Move along, you don't need to hear what we want to sneak out but I understand Joe Bloggs down the road once pinched a girl's bum when he was at school fifty years ago...
Two for the price of one
Don't underestimate the seriousness of accessing someone else's voicemail without their consent. Not only would it appear to be unlawful interception, in breach of RIPA, but also unauthorised access/modification of computer material under sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Mental Health of Obese Children a Primary Concern
The mental health of obese children should be a primary focus of researchers studying childhood obesity, according to Christine Calamaro, PhD, CRNP, assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing.
Calamaro, a leading research scientist in pediatric nursing, says, "My interest in this is not just about the weight of our kids anymore. It is about all the problems associated with obesity. When you start talking about adolescents [emerging] into adulthood, you have to consider co-morbidities, such as depression and diabetes."
In the past 40 years, the number of obese children has increased four-fold, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), now reaching 17 percent of children and adolescents ages 2-19 years.
Much recent research on obsese children has focused on a link between lack of sleep duration or quality of sleep. Calamaro says, "We know there is a link, but what are the things causing it?" Her biggest worry is that children and adolescents who stay awake more and sleep less have impaired physical and mental health.
"It only makes sense to me that if they are not sleeping well, or have fragmented sleep, then their endocrine balance is screwed up, all their hormones are screwed up, their cortisone levels are higher because they are tired and stressed, they are hungry, they eat more, they get carbohydrate-rich foods to get the instant glucose increase, they can get insulin resistance because of weight gain, then eat more carbs to stay awake. It's a vicious cycle."
Yet lack of sleep is not the lone culprit. Calamaro led a recent study of 13,568 adolescents from 12 to 18 years old. Those sleeping six or fewer hours a day were no more obese than adolescents sleeping longer. The finding, part of the a study published in the Journal of Sleep Research, runs counter to a hypothesis common in adolescent health research, according to Calamaro.
The researchers at first were disappointed. They had expected "a slam dunk" relationship between lack of sleep and obesity, she says. But the study also revealed that other negative factors were at work. "In light of other recent analyses that demonstrated a consistent increase in obesity among short sleepers in children and adults, the results of this study raise more questions about the causal pathways that may lead to increased adiposity [obesity]in adolescents."
The study showed an association between sleep duration and depression. Depressed adolescents tended to sleep less than non-depressed adolescents, both in a 12-to-14 age group and in a 15-to-18 age group. Depressed adolescents were almost twice as likely to be obese whereas adolescents who watched television excessively were 37 percent more likely to be obese.
Calamaro and co-authors also found that early adolescents who had watched more than two hours of TV were 36 percent fatter in later adolescence than those watching less TV. "Television viewing may lead to increased risk of obesity because watching television has been associated with increased dietary intake, leading to an imbalance in energy expenditure," the authors wrote. Television watching for about two hours per day at the younger age of 12 to 14 was predictive of obesity when they were 15 to 18.
"Childhood obesity is a very complex problem we must address," says Jay A. Perman, MD, pediatrician and president of the University of Maryland in Baltimore. "It is going to take more than health care providers to fix. Physicians, nurses, social workers, attorneys, pharmacists and others need to solve the problem together."
Last year, NIH launched a major effort of $72.5 million in new research funding to examine ways to curtail the nation's growing childhood obesity epidemic. According to the NIH website: "Factors behind this increase are believed to include increased consumption of high-calorie food and drinks and less physical activity during and after school. Overweight and obese children are at higher risk of chronic diseases during childhood and adulthood, including heart disease, stroke, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and several cancers."
Despite more funding, experts are not catching up with the problem, says Calamaro. "Preventative care is just not reimbursable [from insurance providers] as much as it should be. In health care we need to focus more on children. By 2043, half the adult population will be obese in the United States" if trends continue and changes are not made, she says.
"Today, with the current generation of children, by the time the parents capture it, it is too late," says Calamaro. "It is difficult. So what we do know is start in infancy. A chubby baby is not a healthy baby. To try to get parents to see that is difficult.
"We in the primary care setting need to be reinforcing this message about healthy eating/healthy sleep every time parents and children come into the doctor's office. The hardest thing with obesity is to start the minute that baby first comes into your office and to talk about what healthy eating is for that child: Are you feeding that baby properly with that bottle? When does it look like they are finished drinking from the bottle? Are they warm? Are they dry? Are they crying because they are hungry, or are they crying because babies cry? Basic baby knowledge reinforced over and over again."

If i was to spend silly money like this on a sports bike, I would at least buy one with race heritage, like the blade etc, sorry bmw, i did try and google your race heritage but the page was blank.

They are seriously expensive. For how much more the carbon version costs I'd be expecting full carbon fairing, seat unit and mudguards. Not on my shopping list that's a fact.

would dominate the 1199... read the MCN review, this bike has masses more power and more advanced tech than anything out there and it will make mere mortals ride like heros. an early R1 would have about 140 rwhp and weigh about 20kg more than an HP4 aswell as fairly basic suspension, it wouldnt even get close on the road let alone on the track with the same rider in the same conditions.
i will admit the bike is out of my price range by a fair amount, but this is no reason to claim it is no better than bikes that i can afford.

Well go buy your boring old blades and shit, some of u guys sound like pure and utter wankers. Oh I'm going to buy a fucking rusty old Nissan micra because mr ferraris cars are way too expensive and have far too many toys on them. It annoys the utter fuck out me when people go on about the point of all this technology and price tags. Well guess what dick heads it's called progress and it's always going to happen, all these Suzuki/Honda/Kawasaki bum boys like there little digs at BMW because it's wiped the floor with them all. 19k for the ultimate super bike or 1.5 million for the ultimate super car???? Not so expensive after all is it you bunch of wank stains
And get the fook of these boards and leave the sexy bikes for us eh?
Reckon it's "someones time of the month". yawn.
Not really snev but why do people come on here and depress us with there views on new technology etc. if its old bikes they like then great, I love all bikes, from classics to class leading 1199's hp4's etc. I have an s1000rr and in my opinion it's the best thing since sliced bread. But I wouldn't come on here and say how unsafe and unusable all the other bikes are. Respect man

Session: 2012/2013
Date: Tuesday, 12 February 2013
Reference: AGR 04/12/13
The Assembly Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development today launched an Investigation into Tree Disease.
The investigation will examine a number of issues such as: DARD's roles and responsibilities for monitoring and preventing tree disease; plans for tackling plant and tree disease outbreak in Northern Ireland; and biosecurity at ports and airports.
Committee Chairperson, Paul Frew MLA said: "Tree diseases pose real threats to our forests and woodlands and are becoming a more frequent problem throughout the UK and RoI. This is only too apparent in the recent outbreak of ash dieback.
"Although the Committee welcomed the emergency legislation that was put into place in response to ash dieback being found in both the UK and RoI, we want to look at measures to prevent and handle other plant and tree diseases. We do not want to see another fire-fighting exercise if another plant or tree disease outbreak occurs – the Department needs to be ready. This investigation is a way for the Committee to proactively take matters into its own hands."
Deputy Chairperson, Joe Byrne MLA said: "The Committee has been quizzing the Minister and her officials on her Department's response to the ash dieback outbreak for a number of months now – both in Committee meetings and in the Chamber. It is obvious from that outbreak that more work needs to be done in the area of tree disease.
"This investigation is proof that the Committee takes this issue very seriously – I look forward to exploring this issue in-depth and making some useful recommendations to the Department. It would be a crime to have an outbreak of a different plant or tree disease in the future and to not be ready for it."
During the investigation, the Committee will take evidence from the Department of Agriculture and from other key stakeholders. Following the investigation, the Committee will discuss its thoughts, recommendations and suggestions with the Minister for Agriculture and her Department.

Craig Gilroy scored a hat-trick as an Ireland XV beat Fiji 53-0

Craig Gilroy helped himself to a hat-trick as an Ireland XV scored eight tries in a 53-0 romp over Fiji at Thomond Park.
Gilroy capped an excellent outing with an 80-metre breakaway try to secure his treble, while Fergus McFadden also crossed twice.
Ireland took an early lead when referee Leighton Hodges penalised the Fijians for going offside, Paddy Jackson slotting the sixth-minute penalty over.
Three minutes later and the home crowd were celebrating the first try of the night as Luke Marshall did well to draw in two covering defenders before slipping Ulster team-mate Gilroy in for a try in the right-hand corner.
Marshall and Darren Cave were involved in the build-up for a McFadden try that was confirmed by the video referee. Sean Cronin was the next to power over after he was teed up for a charge by Conor Murray.
Cave feigned a pass to Gilroy and jinked inside Leone Nakarawa before riding a challenge and stretching to score a fine try and leave the score at 29-0 at the break.
The points continued to flow early in the second half as Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip took a reverse pass from Jackson and drove forward. He held off Malakai Ravulo before flicking a pass out to McFadden, who did enough to touch down for his second try.
Timoci Matanavou was sent to the sin bin for a dangerous tip-tackle on Murray and Chris Henry followed him after 64 minutes as Hodges penalised the flanker for illegally entering a ruck. The flurry of yellows continued three minutes later when Talemaitoga Tuapati was binned for a late hit on Gilroy.
A game of rugby once again broke out after the disruptions and Jackson did well to ride a tackle and find the charging Simon Zebo. The replacement full-back found Gilroy who dived over in the left corner to make it 41-0.
Gilroy claimed his hat-trick with a stunning break from deep inside his own 22 as he evaded Niki Goneva and Matanavou before sprinting free and diving under the posts. Marshall rounded out the scoring on 79 minutes after fine play from Henderson.

We like to confine our House Mix feature to the music we hear in dining rooms, but this week we visited PDT. Not such a digression, actually the place does serve food, and the thing we really love about it is that it doesnt match its speakeasy gimmick with throwback jazz. Nothing against those Milk and Honey imitators, but its refreshing to sip a Sidecar (and wolf down a Chang Dog, for that matter) while indulging in everything from Snoop Dogg to Momofuku Ssm favorite Zero, by the Smashing Pumpkins.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Scientists are presenting the strongest evidence yet U.N. Peacekeepers imported the cholera strain that's killed more than 5,500 people in Haiti.
The study is published in the July issue of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Its findings "strongly suggest" the U.N. contingent from Nepal contaminated a Haitian river because of poor sanitation at a base.
Lead Author Renaud Piarroux previously blamed peacekeepers. This study is more complete and its methodology was reviewed by other scientists.
It also argues for the importance of accurate field investigations. The U.N., CDC and World Health Organization initially refused to investigate the outbreak's origin.

Seconds after taking off, the pilot experienced a total loss of pitch control 30 to 50 feet above ground level. The airplane pitched uncontrollably upward, and the pilot aborted the climb. During the forced landing, the airplane impacted hard on the remaining available runway. An examination of the airplane's elevator control system revealed its push-pull control rod was broken in the empennage, with the fracture features indicative of fatigue. The control rod's adjacent end bearing was found seized; it would not pivot/rotate at its attachment location in the bell crank assembly. The bearing was corroded and devoid of lubrication. When the bearing seized, the attached control rod was bent and flexed repeatedly until failing in fatigue. In 1973 the FAA issued Airworthiness Directive number 73-21-01, which required recurring lubrication of all flight control systems at yearly intervals and 100 hours time in service to prevent corrosion in the flight control systems that might result in binding or seizure of the joints and loss of flight control. The accident airplane was manufactured in 1965, and its total time was 5,638 hours. Its last annual inspection had been performed 8 1/2 months and about 148 hours prior to the accident. Maintenance records indicated that the airplane had been operated 48 hours beyond the 100-hour limit without evidence of the requisite lubrication.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

A brewing health care battle
This is regarding money,money, money ---- but really as a BCBST subscriber I really do not like the last letter I rec'd from Memorial stating, "BlueCross doesn't have to make you pay a higher deductible or a higher co-pay. They can join Memorial in honoring in-network requirements. In the example above (i.e. shows in-net & out-of-net samples), BlueCross may make you pay nearly $3,200 more before ever paying a dime for your health care. They don't have to do that, but they may." REALLY !!! ??? I have a contract with BCBST stating they if I chose to use a non-network carrier I am responsible to pay as such. Let's face it both companies are in the money making business but I don't like the scare tactic that Memorial is using to the uninformed insured by BCBST. I have worked in medical billing for years and I know that many insurance subscribers do not truly understand how their own insurance works and Memorial knows this as they deal with it daily. Go BCBST - they stopped using Memorial because an agreement could not be met . Get your act together Memorial be honest both of you want to make money no need to scare people. I have used Memorial for years I will not at this time because they are now non-network and I don't wish to pay out of network. If Memorial states they will write off the difference then why not sign the contract?

University of Minnesota goalie Adam Wilcox tells The Tampa Bay Times he can solve a Rubik's Cube puzzle in "about a minute."
"It's just kind of learning patterns," he said. You have to take it step by step."
And that is exactly how Wilcox has turned himself into one of the nation's top freshman goalies and one of the Lightning's most interesting and promising prospects.
Drafted 178th overall in 2011, the South St. Paul, Minn., native decided to play for Minnesota rather than stay in juniors, a stepping-stone approach to his career he believes is the best way to prepare for subsequent levels.
"I like to take each step of the process to make sure I'm ready to play," Wilcox said. "Get a good base, good experience, get the confidence at each level and keep building."
So far the plan is paying off.
"Tremendous athletic ability," Johnson said. "Even when he misreads a play, he's able to react back to the puck."
"And he makes big saves, timely saves," Lightning goaltenders coach Frantz Jean said. "That's the X factor everybody is looking for."
Wilcox said there is an argument that learning to solve Rubik's Cube helps him on the ice.
"With doing that, you see ahead to the next move you have to make," he said. "I can kind of see what's going to happen ahead. I can see a guy coming in, if it's going to be to the back door. I can make the move before it happens."
"The same with school and stuff," Wilcox added about majoring in sports management. "I like looking ahead and planning."

SAVANNAH, Ga. — The local City Council voted 7-2 to uphold the ban on double-decker tour buses in Savannah's downtown historic district, according to a Savannah Morning News report.
Many residents argued the one-square-mile historic district is becoming too congested with tour vehicles. The double-decker buses, they contend, would add scores of tourists per bus per day. The city last year issued 1,455 motorcoach permits and permitted 96 motorized tour vehicles. For the full story, click here.

An Oregon sheriff has written Vice President Joe Biden to say his department won't enforce any new gun laws it considers unconstitutional.
In his letter, Sheriff Tim Mueller of Linn County said politicians are "attempting to exploit the deaths of innocent victims" by supporting laws that would harm law-abiding Americans.
Mueller says he took an oath to support the Constitution, and laws preventing citizens from owning certain semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines would violate their rights.
Though the letter might add fuel to an already hot topic, Mueller told The Associated Press he wishes people could have a civilized discussion about the issue, rather than resort to threats and name-calling.

Rana Hasan has always dreamed about completing her graduate studies at a US university.
She said a diploma from a US university "would help me develop my country in the future".
Last month, Rana's dream came true.
She passed the Fulbright test and her application for a scholarship for the 2010-2011 academic year was approved.
"This scholarship will further boost my maturity and my capabilities so that I may contribute to the development of Iraq in the future through my specialization in business administration," she said.
Last year, the program doubled the number of Iraqi students receiving scholarships from 35 to 70 after the Iraqi government committed $2.5 million to the program.
"The goal behind the expansion of the academic program is that we want the US academic elite to meet with their Iraqi counterparts and build knowledge bridges that will open the door for the exchange of knowledge and culture," said Rafiq Mansur, cultural and educational adviser at the US Embassy in Baghdad.
"We are happy for this academic and cultural cooperation which will, of course, enhance the capabilities and experiences of students and different universities and institutions in Iraq -- something that will contribute to the building and development of the country," Mansur told Mawtani.
According to Mansur, 245 male and female Iraqi students have participated in the Fulbright program since 2003.
The Fulbright scholarship is one of the most prestigious academic scholarship programs in the world. Late US Senator William Fulbright launched the program in 1946 for distinguished students from all over the world.
For years, the program, which is now sponsored by the US Department of State, has been working to enable Iraqi students to obtain a master's or doctorate in humanities and social sciences, to build leadership skills, and to enrich cultural awareness with Americans.
Applicants to the Fulbright program must have bachelor's degree and score at least 550 on the TOEFL English exam.
"We have a strong desire to consolidate relations with our US partners by signing more bilateral agreements on academic and scientific partnership," said Hafiz Mohammed, head of psychology studies at the University of Kufa.
"The cultural cooperation between Baghdad and Washington does not only include scholarships, but there are also different activities and events that come within the framework of the twinning program between US and Iraqi universities," he said.
The twinning program links five Iraqi universities with five US universities to review curricula, provide on-line courses and scientific dialogue, build career development centers at Iraqi universities, and exchange students and teaching staff.
"Iraq is in dire need of communication with the world through scholarship, mission, and fellowship programs, and by signing protocols and memorandums of understanding aimed at supporting the higher education sector in the country," said Ali Luqman, a teacher at the University of Baghdad.
"We want to get acquainted with the latest studies and research work, apply new and advanced educational tools, and acquire practical and scientific experiences like our counterparts in the developed countries," he said.
Recent recipients of the scholarship are looking forward to their experience in the United States.
"I feel extremely happy because I have the opportunity to study in the United States," said Saif Ammar. "I will return here after two academic years to dedicate the experience that I will acquire in the field of economics for the service of Iraq."
With regard to scholarships, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research needs to revise its policies to ensure that students are chosen according to their educational level and excellence, rather than through favoritism, which affects the interests of the state and its education. This issue has undermined confidence in the work of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. All students should be treated and approved fairly, according to clear conditions and criteria, without favoritism.
شاكر الصديق
The issue of the official scholarships is suspicious, and it angered many excellent students who failed to obtain any of these scholarships to acquire more knowledge and improve their skills. In fact, these suspicions are caused by the way the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research handles the process of choosing the eligible students to be sent with scholarships to study at the European or American universities. This process is unfair to many of the applicants, and they do not know the mechanism by which the students are chosen and approved. They feel that they have all the necessary qualifications and meet all the conditions, but eventually other applicants are chosen, despite the fact that they hold inferior educational qualifications, because they have powerful relatives or friends. On the other hand, those who do not have powerful relatives or friends are treated unfairly in regards to obtaining the scholarships.
حسين الكعبي
It is with science and knowledge that people progress, countries thrive and civilizations develop. It is nice that students can complete their education at a non-stop pace. I also hope that sharing of scientific research will be adopted between the Iraqi universities and the European and Western universities, since it is not in favor of science to remain closed in on itself, but it should be open to all countries of the world that are benefiting from the scientific progress in the world. Also, they should prepare scholarships, delegations and scientific cooperation at all levels. Iraq and the Iraqi universities should not live in a closed circle. I have a Bachelor of Business Management. I hope to get an opportunity to complete my education in the USA, but I have to pass the TOEFL exam first. May God support us all. May peace and God's mercy and blessings be upon you. Your brother, Hussein Al-Kaabi.
ahmad abd al salam
I would like to learn the English language properly.
محمد ابن الموصل
Iraq, in the current new phase in which it seeks earnestly to develop and move forward, seriously needs to send missions of Iraqi students to study in various developed countries in America and Europe, so they will receive knowledge by modern methods; it needs to support them in all available ways, especially intelligent students, because they will greatly benefit the country. Sending missions of excellent students continuously to study abroad and graduate from the best universities in the world means that these students will change the reality of Iraq quickly, and will achieve the desired progress. But it is important not only for them to graduate from such universities, but more importantly, for them to be provided with support when they return to the country, by opening sophisticated projects and bringing the latest equipment for them in all the centers of Iraq, so that they can work with them.
علي ثامر
The important thing is to return and serve the homeland.

In short, this article motivates every person with ambition, every well-educated person who has reached a certain level of education. Frankly, I hope to get an opportunity to complete my studies to specialize more and more in my field of work in the banking industry. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Administration and Economy, Financial and Banking Sciences, but I believe that I will serve my country better if I complete the second level of my study. Honestly, this is the dream of every ambitious young man and woman, especially given the development of the cultural level in Iraq. Iraq is now witnessing a significant development in the class of employees who languish in their work during the daytime and study in the evening. Frankly, IMHO I consider this as a form of jihad. Thank you very much and accept my appreciation. Your brother, Athir Al-Khafaji.
محمد الفلاحي
Security and development will prevail in Iraq, God willing. We have gotten bored. We want to live and enjoy our life. I swear, we have been exhausted and lost our patience. We have despaired of our life. O Allah, help Iraq enjoy peace and security.

Yaling Wu is senior scientist in purification sciences department at Human Genome Sciences, Inc.
In the pharmaceutical industry, ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are used extensively in the downstream purification of recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies. However, the fouling of membranes after a unit operation?especially when recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies are highly concentrated?is a common problem. Typically, normalized water permeability (NWP) of a membrane can be reduced to about 20 percent of its original permeability at the end of an ultrafiltration-diafiltration (UF-DF) operation.

Last week, Grazia Daily admitted to being sliiightly disappointed that the Middleton in Wimbledon's royal box was little sister Pippa rather than Princess Catherine. Boo! But today, we have the Actual Real Duchess of Cambridge in our midsts.
On this fine Wednesday, Kate Middleton is watching the Centre Court action alongside hubby Prince William for Andy Murray's quarter final against David Ferrer — but forget the tennis, what's Kate wearing? Well — shock! horror! — the renowned royal recycler is re-wearing one of her many iconic frocks and — quelle surprise! — it's by Alexander McQueen. Yep, we've said it before and we'll say it again: this is one frugal Princess who makes the most of her wardrobe.
You'll recognise the cable knit sweater dress from Kate's visit to Canada last year when she wore it to Prince Edward Island, the setting for Anne of Green Gables (reportedly K-Middy's favourite book). And with that sailor collar and cricket style trim by the designer of her wedding dress, Sarah Burton, it's certainly perfect Wimbledon wear. As for that lush hair, the DoC is wearing it loose and bouncy - a reminder to Kim Sears that she's the hair queen, perhaps?
As avid tennis fans, Kate and Wills did the very same this time last year, watching Murray during his fourth round tie with Richard Gasquet.
