Nothing surprised me enough, while watching 90210, to blurt out, "Oh my God!" but hey, I'm not as easily surprised as a 15-year-old from Kansas.New York Post Full Review
It's not a great show but it's not a terrible teen drama, not by a long shot.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
The truth is it really isn't so horrible after all.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
Neither trainwreck nor masterpiece, the new "90210" was exactly what nobody expected it would be: remarkably faithful in tone and spirit to the original adventures of Brandon, Brenda, Scott Scanlon and company.Newark Star-Ledger Full Review
The show juggled a lot of storylines last night, maybe too many, but the vibe feels right. "90210" is not a disaster, and the CW can now officially let out a deep ... sigh ... of relief.Newsday Full Review

Well, it wasn't "Masterpiece Theatre," and it wasn't outright terrible.Chicago Tribune Full Review
For the most part, 90210 seems unsure what to do with the Gen-X demographic, fitting in an awkward assortment of teachers, guidance counselors, and big sisters alongside the kid stars.PopMatters Full Review
Sticking absurdly close to the same formula as the original, down to the opening theme and the filming style, the new version lacks that same sense of wonder and awe that Beverly Hills decadence and excesses once held over viewers.Variety Full Review

'Pixar in a Box' exemplifies the rise of DIY filmmaking
Khan Academy recently announced it will be offering a new class entitled "Pixar in a Box," where users can learn the tricks of the trade Pixar uses to make films that are now considered all-time classics, such as "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo." While at first this seems to be just a fun activity one can do online, it actually represents an interesting shift in the entertainment industry as the barriers for creation continue to fall.
While hypothetically anyone could have picked up a camera and made a movie, acquiring of capital has always been an obstacle that kept people out of filmmaking. In recent years, however, the proliferation of high quality cameras on smartphones and accessible editing software has made film production relatively accessible. We live in a world where if someone wants to make a movie the only thing stopping them is their own hesitation.
Animation, on the other hand, is a different ball game. The physical equipment needed to create an animated film is mostly in software and the high-end ones are difficult to acquire. While shooting and editing can often be learned on the fly, animation software takes actual sit-down lessons and instruction to master — though the same certainly helps for shooting and editing. This is where these lessons from Pixar can really come in handy, as it will give people the technical skills necessary to go out and make films that could eventually rival Pixar's own.
Looking at it from all sides of the equation, it's pretty clear how a class like this benefits the consumer, especially since the class is free. The question is then, how does this benefit Pixar, and by extension, Khan Academy? The answer, I think, is a lesson in brand building for both companies.
When people think of Pixar, they of course think of animated films, but they also think "quality" and "emotion." When you watch a Pixar movie, you know you're going to see a movie that is not only visually stunning, but also well thought out and extremely clever. Pixar has spent now over 20 years building up this brand quality, and by offering a class of some of their secrets, it sends a message that they not only care about the quality of their films, but the quality of the art of animation. When we see one of their movies, we think Pixar cares about us, and a class like this is their way of indicating, "Yes! We do care about you!" Next time Pixar comes out with a film, people will not only feel more included, but will also have learned some tricks that could enhance the viewing experience. And if you want to tell your friends, that's more power to Pixar.
For Khan Academy, this is an amazing get, as the big name brings people to their service. The hope is that this course will energize current users of the service, and raise awareness for those who don't. Best-case scenario, people try out the Pixar class, really enjoy it, and stay for more courses. It appears to be working, considering they are getting an article here.
This is the very rare instance in the entertainment industry where everyone wins, as Khan Academy and Pixar can beef up their brands while providing an actual tool to consumers who want to be educated. While do-it-yourself animation has not quite taken off like live action, and as software becomes more affordable and more classes pop up I expect to see a whole new generation of self-taught animators appear.
Now the question is, how long until one of Pixar's students becomes Pixar's teacher?

A Queensland beekeeper found himself in a sticky situation when he crashed while towing a trailer of hives.
The man hit a tree at Ravenshoe southwest of Cairns on Sunday night, causing the trailer to overturn.
Thousands of agitated bees were set free, creating a challenging situation for authorities called to the scene.
A firefighter was stung while helping the driver remove the hives, but no-one was seriously injured, the Department of Community Safety said.

THE five coachloads of Wanderers fans going to Yeovil muster at 7:30am on a freezing cold Reebok car park.
Disaster struck for coach number four when we had a tyre blowout near Taunton and we were stranded outside the Blackbrook Tavern.
Our brief joy turned to disbelief as we discovered the pub was closed for renovations.
We were rescued an hour later when one of the other coaches came back for us.
On arrival at the quaint Huish Park, we were told that they did not serve beer in the seated area. It was enough to make grown men cry.
However, we were saved when kindly stewards took pity on us and let us into the standing area for a couple of pints of much needed Thatcher's cider.
Bolton started the match well and Mason missed a couple of chances early on.
Yeovil got on top and thoroughly deserved their half-time lead. We were being overrun in midfield and down the wings.
The brave fans in the standing area were singing: "We're Bolton Wanderers, we'll sing in the rain," as the hail belted down.
Things were not going well.
In the second half, Dougie threw caution to the wind. The Duke (Lukas Jutkiewicz)pulled one back and then disaster struck as Baptiste gave away a penalty, given by the linesman, and got a red card for his efforts.
Now it was a time for heroes. Bogdan stepped up to the mark and saved the penalty then at the other end a rejuvenated Knight headed us level.
The Duke, Neil Danns and Medo Kamara all fluffed chances to bury Yeovil in the last 10 minutes. The fightback led by Spearing was terrific – there's a bit of character emerging in this team.
On other matters, congratulations should go to Ruth Crawshaw on receiving the George Warburton Outstanding Service award. Nobody deserves it more.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Giraldes, Jose Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-0407103-115838 Title Design and Synthesis of Handles for Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis and Convergent Peptide Synthesis Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Chemistry Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Mark McLaughlin Committee Chair Robert Strongin Committee Member Steven Watkins Committee Member William Crowe Committee Member Ding Shih Dean's Representative Keywords
- ferrocenylamine
- ferrocene
- ferrocenyl
- ligation
- peptide
Date of Defense 2003-04-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe recent popularity of methods for solid-phase peptide synthesis that use the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group for Nα-amino protection has created a need for compatible anchoring linkages and handles. In an effort to develop mild new methods for use in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), a new ferrocene containing linker or "handle", the 1'1-ferrocenyl carboxaldehyde handle was designed, synthesized, characterized and tested. This linker is analogous to those commercially available and developed by Barany. The ferrocenyl amine linker(FAL) releases C-terminal peptide amides upon acidolysis. Since the FAL handle is acid labile it is compatible with Fmoc and Nα-dithiasuccinoyl (Dts) based chemistries, but not Nα-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) based chemistries. The solid-phase linkage was investigated based on the stability of the ferrocenium ion. The stability of this ion is greater than that of the benzyl cations that are used in the handles developed previously. Files

In a 180 degree turn of events it seems likely that Helston WILL now have a new community centre purpose built.
Only last month the town council agreed to free up money previously set aside for the building of a centre, in order to support 'community projects'.
While this did not preclude the money still being spent on a building, the intention was to broaden the scope of projects it might benefit.
Although not technically a reversal of last month's decision, a new allocation of the money effectively takes the council back to where it started.
The full £158,000 left from the sale of the Passmore Edwards Institute (after fees were deducted) is now in a dedicated budget, meaning it cannot be spend on anything other than a community centre.
Two thirds of the sale proceeds must be spent on an "institute of technical instruction" to comply with a covenant put on the 3 Penrose Road building, which carries over with the sale, and this will have to be taken into careful consideration in any building plan.
The decision came after town clerk Chris Dawson sought clarification over whether to begin the previously agreed search for land on which to build.
This was time-consuming work that could potentially be wasted if further down line money had already been given out in grants.
Mr Dawson said: "I'm very keen this council leaves a legacy; I would like to leave a legacy before I go. I would be very enthused to find a piece of land and design a building."
Earlier, councillors had heard from David Harris, a member of the public, who said he had "left in a huff" after the decision at the previous meeting to un-earmark the funds.
He claimed there were never discussions in meetings about matters affecting the north of the town, such as Trenethick Avenue and Bosnoweth.
"Nothing is done for these people. Why can't they have a community centre? There's plenty of land up there," he said.
Councillor Sue Swift agreed that there were an "awful lot" of elderly people who said they felt "isolated" at the top of town.
She added: "They are complaining they can't go down the town all the time to get to things."
Councillor Niall Devenish said he had people "bending his ear" after the last meeting, with Mr Harris not the only person who was upset.
However, councillor Mike Thomas said, conversely, he had been spoken to by people who said it was the centres that already existed that needed improvement.
Councillor Mark Upton questioned whether any research had been carried out to find whether people wanted a community centre, for example by looking at the town plan questionnaires. However, Mr Dawson said the council was not at that stage yet.
Despite these concerns the majority agreement was to ask the council's asset working party and town clerk to start looking at a purpose built community centre for Helston and allocate funds to a community centre budget.
Councillors Mark Upton, Mike Thomas, John Boase and Nicola Boase asked for their names to be recorded as voting against this.

I just got back from the dentist. I'm having some work done to straighten my bottom teeth into better alignment. Yes, yes, I should have worn the retainer I was given by my orthodontist...but the importance of wearing your retainer somehow loses itself in the mind of a 12-year old. Now I've realized that I need to take better care of my teeth, or they are going to start moving around again, and I desperately want to avoid being in my 30s with braces.
I digress. At my appointment today, my dentist kindly suggested I pay more attention to flossing as my anterior gum line is starting to develop some reddened areas, and even some plaque formation between some of my teeth! Gross.
So, I admit it - I don't floss often. My morning bathroom ritual is overwhelming even without the flossing. Showering, shaving, conditioning, drying, hair maintenance, make-up, deodorant, contacts, etc. You get the idea. I just can't force myself to add another single thing to my daily list. Flossing gets sacrificed. I know the benefits of flossing, I know I should do it. I know there are probably millions of pro-floss people who could list the number of ways flossing has improved their lives. I just cannot do it. I don't like the way flossing feels. I feel like my slimy hands are flipping all over the place. It seems like such a silly waste of time to slide that thin piece of waxed string in between every single tooth. My brain starts talking, "Why are we doing this? Can we just brush and be done?" I rush on to my next morning task and before I know it a few weeks have gone by since the last time I flossed.
How does this compare to my job? Let me tell you. I tell most of my patients to exercise, stretch and walk at least three times per day. I explain to them the home exercise program and why it is so important. I list the risks of inactivity and the benefits of progressing mobility. I talk until I am blue in the face.
Not many of my patients actually follow through. I'm sure they have good intentions. I know they want to improve their function, get stronger and return to their normal lives. But, like my own flossing habits (or lack thereof), I'm sure other priorities get in the way, which makes exercising more difficult. It's hard to juggle it all.
I like when I have realizations like this one, because it wakes me up to see the bigger picture. Maybe we can all take a minute to remember that our "super-important PT plans" have to be realistic for our patients to successfully implement them.
Good application, Lisa.
My mom was a hygienist, so flossing was never an option. It never occurred to me how vital flossing was to my dental health until last year. I got a call from a friend who was having to have her cleaning done over two visits and with numbing shots! OUCH!
There was nothing unusual about her cleaning. Just a routine cleaning - the one I do every six months in one 20-minute visit. And I pay $0 out of pocket. My friend will have to sit for a few hours over two visits and pay hundreds of dollars. All because she didn't floss, and she missed two regular visits...life got busy and the routine cleanings didn't fit into her schedule.
That's enough to keep me on track!!
It's the same with rehab patients. In addition to making exercise plans realistic, we have to be able to make them relevant. Whether it is flossing or rehab home programs, there is that one motivator that will cause us to move compliance to the top of our "to-do" list. As therapists, it's our job to help our patients find their motivator.

CanadaComputes.com: ICQ: It's not just for Windows anymoreApr 19, 2000, 18:49 (5 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Steve Coe)
"One great Internet innovation has been instant messaging. Both America Online Inc. (AOL) and Microsoft Corp. have dabbled in the instant messaging field, leading to a rather bitter dispute when Microsoft made its client compatible with AOL and AOL responded by promptly "breaking" the Microsoft client, slightly changing the way AOL's system worked. "
"The most popular of the instant messaging systems is known as ICQ, short for I Seek You. Curiously, AOL actually owns ICQ, but still uses its own instant messaging system."
"Most of my friends and I have been using ICQ for some time and the prospect of having to give up this great service when using Linux was somewhat depressing. As an alternative, there's always "Talk," which sets up a direct connection between users and can be a horribly painful experience with a slow Internet connection."

Philly BRT's website lacks property assessment information
Want an application to formally appeal your new property assessment from the city of Philadelphia?
You won't find it on the website for the Board of Revision of Taxes.
And that's not the only thing that seems to be missing from the site, even as new, mostly higher assessments are being mailed to nervous property owners.
No hearings have been listed on the appeals calendar in recent months. The last update on the BRT's "News and Press Release" page is from 2010. Former board member Barbara Capozzi, a 2011 City Council candidate, is listed as a member.
Carla Pagan, BRT's executive director, said the appeal application form will be online by April 1. She said the board is waiting because it wants residents to request an informal review with the city's Office of Property Assessment first if they think their assessment is inaccurate.
Residents will have until March 31 to request a review from the city evaluator who assessed their property. A form to do this will be included in new assessment notices.
However, details about the city's new review process could not be easily found on the BRT website, either. Pagan recommends visiting the Office of Property Assessment's website.
BRT chairman Judge Alan Silberstein said that the appeal application should be online.
"I'll look into it right away," he said, adding, "We'll send it to anybody who calls."
Silberstein pointed out that the BRT's application isn't due until Oct. 7. He said that this issue is tiny compared to a bigger problem: the massive number of appeals he's predicting will be filed.
He plans to ask City Council for more funding and employees for next budget year.

"My fiance and myself are doing a non traditional wedding. We didn't exactly want a save the date or an invitation. But we did want a cute and crafty announcement. This fit us so well. The colors in the images I provided really popped and I used a purple backdrop on it. It came before it was suppose to, and I'm so pleased with my purchase. The quality of the magnet is also noticeable. I highly recommend this product and company. I will be back for future purchases for sure."
"I had to add an additional line for the location of my venue and it was done and looked perfect. The quality of the image and product itself was great! This was a very beautiful save the date and cant wait to send them out!"
"Very beautiful & sophisticated. Timeless & classic design. Beautiful colours that match similar real flowers. The font is great & easy to read. Highly recommend."
"I loved everything but the size. I was expecting a little bigger. Maybe I didn't pay attention to that, but that is the only thing that disappointed me. Otherwise, beautifully done, the picture was perfect and the text was clear."
"Simple and adorable! Magnet quality is amazing, design and lettering is flawless. Just ordered the matching invites too!"

That's all. Do I miss something?
I installed Calibre on my Mac but now what?
Add all your books from your different sources to it and use as a catalog... Instead of the Sony or Kobo store. Amongst other things, I use it to decide what I'm going to put on my readers next: it has cover art, the summary of the book, tags, can be searched and can be sorted in multiple ways. It is my "backup" copy of each book as well, directly on my computer. If you only have a few hundred books, I guess you could live without it, but when you have thousands it's definitely a "must". It has saved me from buying duplicates several times as I buy from multiple stores.
And that's apart from all the modifications you can make to your books. Also,with certain "tools" from "Apprentice Alf" you can remove the DRM which allows you to read books across several devices regardless of format (ie books purchased from Amazon on your Sony). I could go on much longer but these are the things I personally use it most for...

Beruwela Harbour
The location right at the beach was great. The concept of all rooms having a view was also great and the Temptations restaurant was impressive. Nice pool. Had a room next to the kitchen, not to be recommended, strong smell of frying oil. House keeping didn't make up the rooms until late afternoon. Beds were extremely hard. Only one bedside table and one lamp to read by in bed. Read that there would be free internet in public areas, which turned out not to be the case, very disappointing for our teenage sons.
the hotel had nice rooms, all looking in a fantastic garden with a lot of trees and a pool. the service was very good. i think the owner should consider renovate the bathrooms to make the rooms exceptional. for example the bathroom door needed painting and the toilet flush was not working properly.

Star AFL midfielder Ryan Griffen has taken over from Matthew Boyd as captain at the Western Bulldogs.
Apart from making this year's All-Australian team, Griffen also won his second club best-and-fairest award.
Boyd had led the Bulldogs for the past three seasons, but missed nine games this year because of injury.
Griffen, 27, has played 183 games for the 'Dogs since they took him with the No.3 pick in the 2004 national draft.
"Its a huge honour to lead this club, a club I love dearly," he told the club website.
"I'm extremely humbled, that the coaches, staff and my teammates nominated me as the person to captain the club."
Griffen filled in as captain this season when Boyd was injured.
Boyd then encouraged him to take the job full-time.
"Matthew has been a great leader of this club, particularly through some challenging times over the past three years where he shouldered some enormous responsibility both on and off the field," coach Brendan McCartney said on the AFL website.
"We see Ryan as the right person to help take this club forward and we look forward to seeing him continue to grow as a leader, player and person."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Jersey, a Forked River Belgian Malinois dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Belgian Malinois for sale in Forked River, or seeking a Belgian Malinois dog from a breeder in Forked River.

Sign up for our weekly email * A photographer was last night said to be "considering his options" over whether to make a formal complaint to police after a friend of Pippa Middleton appeared to point a gun at him. Middleton was pictured with three male friends in an Audi convertible in Paris yesterday when one of the men pointed what appeared to be a semi-automatic gun down his lens. A report in the Sun said it was not known whether the gun was real but claimed Middleton could face a "grilling" from French police following a series of gun massacres across the country. The paper has obtained several photos of the man pointing the gun at the photographer credited to Xposure Photos. A source told the paper: "If the evidence points to her involvement, she will be prosecuted. Anybody involved in the illegal use of a handgun in public is liable to arrest and interrogation." It reported that the French photographer was "considering his options" over making a formal police complaint. According to reports, if the gun turns out to be real all those involved in the incident face up to seven years in prison and even if the weapon is fake they could be sentenced to two years.

Euromonitor Examines Eastern Europe's C&T Markets
By: Jeff Falk
Posted: July 19, 2007
Of the heavyweight markets in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Ukraine are the standout performers in terms of forecast growth, with Poland and the Czech Republic lagging behind—according to market intelligence firm Euromonitor International. The Czech Republic is the most developed Eastern Europe market, with signs of maturation in some beauty sectors. However, the country does have a blossoming premium segment, 10% growth in 2006, and is experiencing increased spending in emerging sectors—particularly sun care and men's grooming products and luxury goods such as fragrances.
Price pressure is the reason for Poland's less than standout growth forecasts, further exacerbated by a growing private label category. The mass segment dominates, even in fragrances, and local brands have a strong following, as consumers remain price conscious. In the longer term, however, consumers' attitudes to spending on beauty products will change. Not only will this mean the blossoming of the premium segment but increased spending on emerging categories such as baby care and men's grooming products and beauty non-essentials, including fragrances.
Of the remaining markets, Romania shows the most promise. Accession to the EU in 2007 has helped spur the economy (real GDP growth was 8% in 2006), and is exposing consumers to Western beauty norms. Romania is also one of the more populous Eastern Europe countries, and has become a focus for new product development and high-level advertising, making beauty brands more visible and accessible.

Career Reset: How to Go After the Career You Really Want
Stand Out
There are a lot of unemployed people out here and plenty more 9-to-5ers with side hustles. Competition is stiff, and you need to figure out a way to stand out amongst it. Bring a portfolio to interviews that includes examples of your work, former work reviews, letters of recommendation, even ideas about what you would do in your new job. Employers need to know that you'll go above and beyond, and the interview process—from the first phone screening down to the last interview—is the best time to do that.
Hustle. Hard.
Breaking into something new is hard, and if you're currently employed full-time while trying to find a new job, you have to be committed to searching and applying on a consistent basis. Finding a job really is like having a full-time job, so you may have to skip out on a few happy hours, set aside money for interviews out of the state, or cut off your phone for certain periods of time so that you can concentrate. Cutting out those minor luxuries temporarily doesn't compare to the idea of attaining your dream job.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
How long does the flame stay lit before shutting off?
There are 2 common issues that can cause this problem.
The first is simply the exhaust vent in the wall being clogged or restricted.
Pop the vent off the back of the unit and try again and see if it behaves itself.
Maybe 10-15 seconds
The other common cause is faulty gas coils, but try removing the exhaust vent from the machine first and see what happens.
I have done that and it still does not stay lit
Ok then the unit has faulty gas coils.
I can light the pilot light with or without the vent pipe on there and it still only stays lit for a short time
Can you replace the gas coils or is it better to replace the unit?
This unit does not have a pilot light.
You need to replace the 2 parts labled #11 in this picture-
Since i've only had it about a week, should I send it back and get a new one, instead of spending more money to replace those parts
Yes, if it is only a week old then it is under warranty and you should 100% call Whirlpool to get it fixed!
Ok awesome then, thank you.. if I was to replace the coils, approximately how much do they cost
Not much, depends on where you buy them from.. but warranty is warranty.. call them!
On this type of dryer, should the burner stay lit all the time?
As long as there are wet clothes to absorb some of the heat and the vent is not blocked, crushed, or restricted, then yes the flame should definitely stay on for more than 15 seconds!
Ok then, thank you for all your help. .you are very helpful
If there is anything else I can assist you with, just let me know. If you are happy with my service, please rate me well.
Have a good day.
Thank you have a great day yourself

Very, very pretty; great packaging. So pretty.
morningstar56 on Jun 13, 2017
Beautiful colors and very creative design. I love it! Thank you.
keyword: individuality
I admire and really like all things that are non-traditional, abstract, artistic, contemporary, different and special.
Most of my jewelry is created especially for women, who value originality and like to be different from the crowd, I want it to make every outfit remarkable and unique. The products of my imagination have a natural flow and their own quirks. My style is distinctive compared to most commercialized accessory lines but also I try to satisfy the different kinds of women taste, keeping my tube style of work.
I admire, love and get inspired by all irregular and asymmetrical shapes created by nature.
I see the tube as a geometric line that can be curved into many shapes. In my jewelry shop I decided to present the tube line in crochet way. I don't use patterns, just a simple crochet technique and put my mind in the sculpting. I always follow my inner sense in my work. The points are: shape, accent, combination of colors. Each item takes a lot of time to be made but I like what I do and give it a lot of love and attention.
I graduated from Law University but my whole life is dedicated to art and handmade. So, I'm independent and self-taught in everything I do. I spent several years abroad and foreign people couldn't pronounce my name, called me Vanessa – that's how was born the name of my shop.
I believe that handmade products have their own soul embodied by their creator. People who own or wear them get a feeling of something special.

Owen Gildersleeve: Paper Cut
Owen Gildersleeve has just released his first book, an exploration of the contemporary world of papercraft art and illustration called Paper Cut. The 192 pages come to life with the works and words of pioneering papercraft artists from around the world.
From Owen: "Through in-depth interviews and rarely published behind-the-scenes imagery, Paper Cut delves into the working lives of twenty-five of the world's leading papercraft artists, giving a unique perspective into this burgeoning field of illustration. For this book I was lucky enough to have control over all the aspects, including the artist selection, interviews and cover artwork. The design was created in collaboration with Chris Clarke, and the text was proof-read and edited by Nick Redgrove. I also created a bespoke hand-cut typeface which was used for all of the artist's titles."

Cruise oozes masculinity in a black suit, while Patton glams up in an orange tube gown at the 'Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol' special screening which is held at the Madinat Jumeriah Complex.
"Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol" has been premiered in Dubai, UAE on Thursday, December 7 as a part of the 2011 Dubai International Film Festival. Lead actor Tom Cruise and his pretty co-star Paula Patton became the center of attention as they hit the red carpet of the special screening event taking place at the Madinat Jumeriah Complex.
Cruise oozed his masculinity in a sleek two-piece black suit paired with a tieless white shirt. The husband of actress Katie Holmes was all smiles as he posed for the swarming photographers and signed autographs for his screaming fans.
Earlier before the premiere took place, Cruise attended a press conference in the city where he explained about doing the Burj Khalifa stunt for the action film. "The moment on the Burj, when I saw the rope, I remember just thinking this is the moment of truth," he admitted. "There's one thing seeing it and another thing trying to accomplish that. I remember that I didn't quite make it the first time and came slamming into the building."
Back on the red carpet, Cruise's female co-star Patton became the belle of the ball on the evening. The brunette beauty glammed up in an orange maxi tube dress with details on the waist. The 36-year-old actress, who plays Jane Carter in the film, finished off her gorgeous look with a pair of long earrings.
Cruise and Patton were joined by English actor Simon Pegg and Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor. Both male co-stars looked dapper in their black suits completed with bowties. Director Brad Bird was also spotted attending the gala event.
The Dubai premiere of "Mission: Impossible 4" was a part of the promotional tour for the action movie. After holding a special screening in Arab, Cruise and co. are expected to premiere the film in several other countries, including Russia, Mexico, Brazil and the U.S.
To open wide in theaters across the nation on December 21, the fourth "Mission Impossible" movie follows Cruise's Ethan Hunt and his "Ghost Protocol" team who must go off the grid to clear their organization's name after they were accused of being involved in a global terrorist bombing plot. This time, they have to do the important mission with no help and no contact.
Also supporting the high-octane action film are Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Josh Holloway, Lea Seydoux, Tom Wilkinson, Vladimir Mashkov and Samuli Edelmann.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 3
Adjacent Routes
10m. Essentially an alternative start to Dangerous Crocodile Snogging. Start in Camelian Crack and break out right, making a few technical moves to gain the large hold in the middle of the wall. Finish direct. Better protected than the original line but a fall would still lead to a nasty clatter. Very height-dependent.
Almost impossible to grade. I found it alright with my reach, others couldn't touch it. The grade is pretty much a guess, although a fall would clatter!

This Hat was inspired by Molly Ringwald as Andie in Pretty in Pink, with her quirky and individual style of dressing and her love of the colour pink! This Hat is knitted sideways on straight needles using short rows for shaping. The Hat is then joined together invisibly using kitchener stitch (grafting). The Hat is available in three sizes to ensure the perfect fit.
The lace panel and frilled brim hark back to the seventies and before that to mop caps of the Victorian era. It is also a fabulous stash buster using only 100 grams of yarn.

TAMPA — Cassiday Gerweck wanted a wedding dress that showed off her breasts. Cancer-free for six months, she felt lucky to have them. The single mother from Hudson didn't have much money to spend on her big day. She had worked two jobs for most of her adulthood, until her disease forced her onto disability. She was surfing the Web for a used gown when a popup ad on her computer screen told her to make a wish. On a whim, she wished for a dress.
Thursday evening, she found herself surrounded by 2,000 of them, racks and racks of ivory and white beauties beckoning the woman with black locks and pink fingernails. Her wish had been granted by the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, a national organization that supports women with advanced breast cancer.
The group wanted Gerweck, 38, to help kick off its three-day Brides Against Breast Cancer gown sale by picking out the dress of her dreams.
The search didn't take long.
"Oh, my God, this is beautiful," she said.
She gazed into a full-length mirror, admiring how a white chiffon dress draped her curves, its sequined halter neckline showing a classy amount of cleavage. It was only the second dress she tried on.
"I think I'm in love with this one," she said.
Her eyes lingered on her reflection.
"It makes me look thinner," she giggled.
Gerweck had no health insurance when she discovered a golf ball-sized lump on her right breast in June 2007. During the next year, she underwent three surgeries, a dozen rounds of chemotherapy and 38 radiation treatments.
She credits the doctors at Moffitt Cancer Center for saving her life, and her daughter, Hillary Quick, 24, for giving her the will to live.
On Thursday, Quick received a magenta strapless chiffon gown of her own for the wedding day.
Outside the fitting room, Doug Spurlock remembered how his fiancee cried when she found out she would be getting a free wedding dress.
The couple met at Wal-Mart about three years ago. She worked in customer service in the garden center. They flirted, and he asked her for a piece of gum. She said she'd give him one if he promised to return the next day with a pack of licorice.
He did.
"We're good for each other," said Spurlock, 45, a painter. "She keeps me out of trouble."
He watched quietly as a hive of women whisked his future wife from the fitting room to another corner for a professional hair and makeup session.
"She deserves it," he said. "She's been through a hard life."
The Brides Against Breast Cancer organizers thought she deserved even more. Gerweck learned she would receive a free wedding photographer, videographer, florist, DJ, tux rental, alterations and officiant.
They will all converge later this month at the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, which will host the ceremony and the couple for an overnight stay.
Gerweck gasped.
She had been fighting back tears the entire night. Now, a fresh flood came.

Industrial & Organisational : Introduction : Personnel : Organizational psychology : Occupations: Work environment: Index : Outline
In organizational development (OD), the concept of requisite organization was developed by Elliott Jaques, PhD, MD.
Requisite organization is a unified whole system model for effective managerial leadership. Jaques advocated that it is the only systematically scientific approach to the effective management of work systems.
Somewhat controversial since some of his conclusions about organizations run counter to the predominant values of OD, Jaques was interested in what makes some organizations highly effective, while others fail to function and produce.
The concepts and practices embedded in Requisite Organization result from over 50 years of systematic, multicultural application of numerous scientific discoveries about the nature of work and the nature of people's varying capacity for work.
Some of the key elements in his theory of organizations Edit
- Nearly all organizational dysfunction can be traced to poor structure and systems, not deficient employees.
- OD interventions should focus upon fixing the system rather than fixing employees. Fixing the structure frees employees to work at the their full potential creating increased efficiency, effectiveness, and job satisfaction.
- Examples of fixing the system and structure include science-based methodologies for:
- matching employee capabilty to job complexity,
- appropriately spacing employees capabilty with that of their managers to improve leadership and communication,
- ensuring the right number of organizational layers,
- explicitly defining managerial authority and accountabiity,
- explicitly defining managerial leadership processes,
- explicitly defining cross functional working relationships,
- gauging compensation to job complexity (felt fair compensation).

College notes: Hempfield grad on NCAA baseball watch list
Seton Hill University lefthander Alex Haines is among eight NCAA Division II baseball players listed by NCAA.com as players to watch.
The junior from Hempfield was voted the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference pitcher of the year in 2012 while leading Division II in strikeouts per nine innings (12).
Haines, who was 7-2 with a 4.24 ERA in 2012, previously was rated by Baseball America as the top small-college draft prospect in the nation entering the 2013 season.
He is joined by two Seton Hill players named to the initial watch list for the fourth annual Tino Martinez DII Player of the Year Award. The others are junior shortstop Brendan Costantino and sophomore third baseman Nick Sell.
The award is presented to the most outstanding player in Division II and is named after the former University of Tampa star who serves as batting coach for the Miami Marlins after playing 15 seasons in the majors.
Sell led Seton Hill in 2012 in average (.380), home runs (11) and RBI (55). Costantino was second in batting (.370). He had four home runs, 43 RBI and a team-leading 35 stolen bases.

When we think of cool sneakers, these are the words that come to mind: fresh, street and Nike. When we wear something, we aren't simply choosing a piece of clothing, but rather an ideology. An outfit or an accessory says something about how we feel, or whom we chose to be that specific day.
Like Finola Hughes said on the TV series "How Do I Look," you don't have to be the same person every day. This morning you may feel like being a rock star and decide to wear studded heels and a leather jacket, and the next day you might lean towards a preppy look with a chic outfit from a store like Juicy Couture. Designers do the same thing all the time, except they change looks every collection and we do this every day.
Choosing to wear sneakers like this Fashionista is simply saying, "today I feel like getting in touch with my street side" and that's great. "Dope" sneakers like those look best with skinny jeans so that they pop out and act as the focal point. Still, you can throw on some other statement accessories such as neon bracelets, earrings or sunglasses to really master the vibe. Nonetheles, if it seems like too much, follow this Fashionista's advice and simply stick to sneakers for just a taste of an R&B lifestyle.
Haven't found your swag sneakers just yet? Here are some options: a cheetah sneaker from Nike, a hot pink one from Urban Outfitters, or a black and gold one from ASOS (search "ASOS DENY Wedge High Top Trainers With Suede Detail"). Use one of these powerful sneakers to add some flavor to your look!

Downtown Restaurants Suffer Following Frigid Weather, Pipe Problems
Some downtown Columbus businesses are struggling to get back to normal after the arctic blast and a massive water main break.
Some restaurant owners say they were already saddled with a slow holiday season and were hoping to bounce back this month.
It's been a couple of difficult days for restaurant owner Guillermo Perez.
He says on Monday he closed his doors to his shop, Si Senor, because of bitter weather. Then, there was a large water main burst in downtown Columbus. It happened just a block from his shop.
"I was really concerned if that wasn't going to be fixed on time, you know, what would happen today to all the businesses around here," said Perez.
As soon as that one was fixed, he was faced with pipe problems of his own. He says his own pipes burst.
On Tuesday, the sign saying they were closed went back on the front door and the maintenance man was hard at work.
As of Tuesday, Perez still didn't have water, but was hopeful it would soon return.
"Everything gets affected. You know, we have to be very careful with food costs. You have to be very careful with staff, sometimes you have to send people home," said Perez.
While Si Senor closed because its pipes froze, a restaurant down the street closed early because it was simply too cold outside for people to come in.
"Same bills that we have to pay every day, every month and the employees are wanting to work, but our revenue is down 60% yesterday and another 50% today," said Lexi's On Third owner, Dan Georges.
The business is usually bustling with people, but Tuesday evening it was empty.
"It kind of gets scary because you have your, the normal food cost already is high," said Georges.
Georges says he's trying to stay afloat and hopes better weather will bring better business.
"I guess that's why they say you have to save some for a rainy day, or a snowy, or icy, or cold day," said Georges.
On top of the bitter cold, there's still a layer of ice in the part of downtown Columbus where a water main broke.

Horse Disease Response Levy Bill 2008

(Circulated by Authority of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry,
The Hon Tony Burke MP)
The purpose of this Bill is to impose a levy on the initial registration of horses, so that the horse industry can repay any amount paid by the Commonwealth on behalf of the horse industry in the event of an outbreak of an emergency horse disease. The Australian Horse Industry Council, the Australian Harness Racing Council and the Australian Racing Board support the imposition of a horse disease response levy.
The Bill will assist the horse industry fund its obligations under the provisions of the Emergency Animal Disease Response Agreement ( EADRA). The EADRA commenced in March 2002 and provides for the Commonwealth initially meeting the industry's obligations under the EADRA, with the industry repaying any amounts paid on its behalf through a statutory levy.
Under the terms of the EADRA, the Australian Animal Health Council (AAHC) co-ordinates, collates and maintains financial information in respect of any animal disease emergency. Livestock industries agreed that the AAHC will receive and disburse levy funds to be used to repay the Commonwealth for the costs underwritten by the Commonwealth on behalf of industry. Several payments of the levy may be made to the AAHC in any period.
Once the size of the industry's debt to the Commonwealth is known, the horse industry will be advised of total debt by the AAHC and repayment arrangements will be implemented. The horse disease response levy will be activated, with all levy funds initially flowing to the Consolidated Revenue Fund and subsequently disbursed to the AAHC. The AAHC will manage the horse disease response levy funds on behalf of the industry in order to repay debt to the Commonwealth.
To allow the repayment arrangements via a levy to come into law, it is also necessary to provide for legislation to collect and administer the levy imposed under this new legislation, including amendment of the Australian Animal Health Council (Live-stock Industries) Funding Act 1996 .
These arrangements are similar to those applying to other industries party to the EADRA.
There are no direct financial implications for the Commonwealth as the intention of the Bill is to facilitate the imposition of a horse disease response levy on the registration of horses payable by owners. However, indirectly the arrangements will allow the repayment of monies to the Commonwealth expended on behalf of the horse industry under cost sharing arrangements for responses to emergency horse diseases.
Item 1 Short Title
This clause provides for the Act to be called the Horse Disease Response Levy Act 2008.
Item 2 Commencement
This clause provides for the Act to come into effect on the day after it receives Royal Assent.
Item 3 Definitions
This clause defines the meaning of a horse, horse industry body; horse registration body and owner of a horse for the purposes of this Act.
Item 4 Imposition of levy
This clause provides for the horse disease response levy to be applied to only the initial registration of a horse with a recognised horse registration body. The horse disease response levy does not apply to any other registrations that may occur even with other horse registration bodies.
Item 5 Rate of levy
This clause provides for regulations to determine the levy rate.
Item 6 Who pays the levy
This clause determines that the horse disease response levy is paid by the owner of a horse.
Item 7 Declaration of horse industry body
This clause allows the Minister to declare in writing that a body represents the horse industry nationally. However, this provision is included to assist the reader, as the instrument is not a legislative instrument within the meaning of section 5 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 .
Item 8 Act does not impose levy on property of a State
This clause provides that the Act does not allow the Commonwealth to impose a tax on any property belonging to a State or Territory.
Item 9 Regulations
This clause contains provisions authorising the Governor-General to allow regulations that will prescribe details that are necessary for the administration of horse disease response levies imposed by this legislation, including the authority to determine the horse disease response levy rate as per clause 5 of the Act.

Aircraft repair firm Aveos Fleet Performance Inc. has filed for bankruptcy protection, laid off more than 2,600 workers and shut plants in Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver as it faces a cost squeeze from Air Canada.
Aveos, formerly called Air Canada Technical Services, has struggled since being spun off from the airline in 2004. Nearly 1,800 of the Canadian workers who lost their jobs were those assigned to airframe heavy maintenance projects, which involve labour-intensive checks.
Joseph Kolshak, chief executive officer at Montreal-based Aveos, blamed Air Canada for triggering the shutdown because the airline deferred and cancelled maintenance work over the past two months. "This has been a devastating blow to Aveos," he said in a statement Monday.
A sluggish global economy and high labour costs also hurt Aveos, Mr. Kolshak said.
The widespread layoffs underscore the challenges faced by unionized service companies in Canada as they strive to compete against lower-cost rivals.
In 2010, Canadian employees at Aveos earned between $1,700 and $5,500 a month, depending on their skills and experience, compared with $350 to $1,200 a month at a plant in El Salvador named Aeroman, which is 80-per-cent owned by Aveos. Aeroman does not service Air Canada planes, though the airline is now looking at lower-cost repair service options.
Air Canada said it's disappointed by the financial troubles at Aveos, but emphasized that it has contingency plans to hire Canadian and U.S. companies to perform the heavy maintenance checks and inspections, ranging from hull repairs and window replacements to corrosion treatment and wing modifications.
The Winnipeg plant is scheduled to shut down and lose 412 jobs, the Vancouver operation would close and shed 356 jobs while the Montreal site is likely to have at least 1,000 positions axed.
If the aircraft repair firm is able to restructure, about 800 jobs might be preserved in Montreal for engine overhaul and component repairs, but union officials are fearing a shutdown of the Quebec plant, too.
The country's largest airline offered to extend $15-million in emergency financing to Aveos late Monday through court-appointed monitor FTI Consulting Canada. Air Canada is hoping the "debtor-in-possession" financing will help stabilize Aveos and allow it to conduct an orderly restructuring and pave the way for recalling some of the employees in Montreal for engine overhaul and component repairs.
Aveos derives most of its revenue from Air Canada.
Some workers in Montreal said a dozen SUVs and trucks drove onto their plant site on Sunday before they learned from an Aveos manager that they had been locked out.
Aveos terminated all employees on airframe heavy maintenance projects on Sunday and "notified all other of its employees to not report for work as of Monday," Aveos said in its 41-page petition for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, Aveos lost $48.9-million and its liabilities recently exceeded the book value of assets by $219.8-million, according to the filing in Quebec Superior Court. The company had a pension solvency deficit of $26-million at the end of 2011.
"We no longer have the capital resources we need to continue to do business," Mr. Kolshak in a memo to employees. An American, he returned to the United States after authorizing the filing for bankruptcy protection in Montreal.
The filing alleged that Air Canada has been soliciting "undercutting bids" from rival aircraft repair companies.
Hundreds of workers protested the planned shutdown by demonstrating at Montreal's Trudeau Airport on Monday, including at a hangar and building used by Aveos, as well as in front of Air Canada's head office.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, representing 2,300 of the workers at Aveos, called on Ottawa to intervene because the union argues that the Air Canada Public Participation Act protects some of the jobs, notably those in Montreal and Winnipeg.
Dave Ritchie, the IAMAW's Canadian general vice-president, said it's important for the federal government to recognize the value of highly skilled jobs in Canada.
The IAMAW represents workers at Aveos facilities across the country. Besides the plants, there are also a total of 67 Aveos employees in Edmonton, Calgary, Trenton, Ont., Toronto and Ottawa.
"These events at Aveos, while disappointing, have no impact on Air Canada's day-to-day aircraft maintenance and repair activities, referred to as 'line maintenance.' The airline's line maintenance has always been performed directly by Air Canada, at the airline's own facilities by Air Canada's 2,300 maintenance employees," Air Canada said.
In 2010, a group of lenders took majority control of Aveos.Report Typo/Error

Prevention is better than cure
This page is about the saying "Prevention is better than cure"
Possible interpretation:
It's better to take care that a problem does not happen than to have to solve the problem afterwards. It's easier to stop something bad from happening in the first place than to fix the damage after it has happened.
prevention (noun) = the act of stopping something from happening | cure (noun) = something that solves an illness or problem | This proverb is often used in relation to health and disease. A variation is: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
