One day after Tom Clancy's death, Paramount has released the first trailer for the new film based on his most famous character. Chris Pine takes over as the hero of such Cold War-era novels-turned-films as The Hunt For Red October and Patriot Games and brings him to the modern day. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit follows Ryan from 9/11 through Afghanistan and into the CIA, where he uncovers a Russian plot to undermine the U.S. economy. Directed by Kenneth Branagh and written by Adam Cozad and David Koepp, it co-stars Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner and Branagh. The action thriller opens Christmas Day:
Hot Trailer: 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit'
59 Comments
Do the people who made this movie realize that Casino Royale came out in 2006 so it's a bit soon to be ripping off the bathroom hit man scene, visual aesthetic and almost everything else in this trailer? Obviously even seven years later Casino Royale looks better than this mess but the similarities are jarring.
Well, that would be one old fart sort of complaint, relevant if this were a Bond film, which it is not.
More common, I think, will be mine, as an actual Jack Ryan fan.
That's a different Jack Ryan.
He's been rebooted! Er, just like James T. Kirk.
And they're both played by the same guy!
I love it.
Actually, I think Chris Pine can pull this off. Need to see more, of course.
"where he uncovers a Russian plot to undermine the U.S. economy."
Isn't that a typo?
Shouldn't it say a 'Repulican plot'???
Yeah, that's the kind of spelling one would expect from a Democrat.
And yours is the kind of reply one would expect from, as Jon Stewart put it, "A Republican Zebra Queef."
And yours it the kind of reply one would expect from someone who can't think for himself, but instead accepts spoonfed propaganda and name-calling.
Learn to think for yourself, for God's sake.
As Michael Hauge puts it "Hollywood is a clone factory".
Everybody in the business clings to successful elements of the past films until they are not profitable anymore.
Best bathroom hitman scene was in "True Lies".
jeez, Clancy's body isn't even cold yet
You're right. The minute he died, they decided to quickly make a movie and get a trailer out to take advantage of the publicity. They must have been working on this all night.
It's a conspiracy!
Funny! And I've had wine!!
I think you just won the internet for today.
An evil Russian bad guy who can't speak proper English… never gets old. That aside, looks fun.
But…it's KEN B!! He opened the Olympics doncha know!
looks like the best of the jack ryan movies with a fresh spin. i'm in!
I guess you haven't watched THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER recently!
When did this pretty decent script become bad? Poor Tom Clancy, I wish they just left the series alone at Patriot Games.
I like it. That surprises me, but I like it!
Cough Bourne Cough
^ What he said
Well, it's a good thing Clancy died before he could see this. He was never a fan of the previous movie versions of Jack Ryan, and this one looks even worse. Ryan was never intended to be a Jason Bourne/James Bond/Ethan Hunt type of super hero. Clancy created Clark for those kind of things. Next thing you know, they will make a Jack Reacher movie with a effete metrosexual who is only 5'6.
Um, Clancy may have not like the Baldwin or Ford films, but he was 100% behind the Affleck one even though that strayed farther away from the source material than the other two.
This is pretty much unrecognizable as a Jack Ryan story. Looks more like they mashed together a couple of Brad Thor-plots and knew that Scot Harvath wasn't a big enough brand. The appeal of Ryan – at least in the books – was that he wasn't trained at all. To compete with the Bournes and Bonds, he had to out-think the bad guys, get three or four steps ahead. In the first seconds of the trailer, this Ryan bests what appears to be some kind of trained assassin. This is just another Bourne clone
Except. Except that Branagh looks awesome as a crazy Russian baddie.
Hey, it's Captain Kirk….
That's the only way anyone will ever know Chris Pine… Sucks…
This looks really cool and I will totally go see it!!!
Unfortunately this looks more like THE SUM OF ALL FEARS and less like PATRIOT GAMES :/
Will be interesting to see if Pine can pull off Jack Ryan….but he looks too "young" to me…barely out of highschool.
A Russian plot to undermine the U.S. economy. Wouldn't a U.S government plot to undermine the U.S. economy be more realistic and timely?
Totally disagree about Chris Pine. He's a lot more than just Kirk and Jack Ryan. Never seen him in anything in which he isn't like-able, charming, and an excellent actor.
he was terrible in that film that came out last year with reese witherspoon and tom hardy. it was a big flop too btw. he is not a good actor. he is a one note actor. and one day he may find a director or genre that works for his limited range. one would think that would be star trek. but he's not been able to master the humor part. i think kevin costner will steel (no pun intended) this film.
How on earth is this still holding a Christmas release date. Until yesterday's poster there has been ZERO publicity for the film, and this hardly looks like Christmas time fare.
Hey Paramount, just move this back to the first weekend of August 2014 (aka, the Bourne slot) already and be done with it.
It's only the beginning of October. Plenty of time to put on a media blitz.
Well, it's about time paramount put up a trailer. I was beginning wonder.
Come on! This is pure crap. I can't stand the direction and lack of story… the only thing good in this is Costner. This just plain old sucks.
Did you see it?
If you did, contribute a cohesive review, please.
If not, enjoy that extra large cup of STFU.
Something has to give. Every variation of these movies, and there have been SO MANY come off stiff and derivative now. Like the Stallone / Schwarzenegger films of the 80's. It's. Been. Done. So give it something new – or let it rest. I'd put good money on this limping into cinemas and out. Which is sad, because I like all the parties involved.
Pine is great but how on earth does Keira Knightley keep working? She is terrible and has zero chemistry with every leading man, including this one.
Chris Pine may look good (if bland as hell) but he can't act a damn and has zero star quality. Say what you will about Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts but back when in their respective heydays, they had that special something called "it" that made the camera and audiences fall in love with them. Chris Pine and 9 out of 10 of these pretty boys and pretty girls of today don't.
… and starring Kevin Costner as Scott Glenn.
Next thing you know they'll be remaking BACKDRAFT with Kevin Costner as the bad guy (oops spoiler if you haven't seen that classic).
cozad's dubai was a really solid script and keopp is just awesome every day of the week, and because of those factors i have nothing but high hopes for the finished product
that being said this trailer aint working.
it feels familiar and not in a great way. but i just dont get the feeling through this trailer that this is jack ryan. does he even say his own name in the trailer? i dont care to rewatch to find out.
with alec baldwin and harrison ford it FELT like jack ryan and i could believe they were phd analysts at cia.
for chris pine (and i really like the guy) its just not telegraphing here in this trailer. feels too much like his character in that awful spy vs spy movie that fox did with reese witherspoon.
Why has Chris Pine adopted Chris Bale's low, gutteral tone in his speaking voice? Is he trying to butch it up for Jack Ryan? Odd vocal choice.
Did they literally hold a contest for most boring film title and select the utmost boring and unoriginal title for this flick? Sad, considering the titles Clancy came up with for his stories.
I'm well aware that this isn't based directly on any novel, but still, this title is awful.
Side note, why do we even need a story/reboot for Jack Ryan, anyways? Just go with one of the novels, sheesh.
Remove the Clancy characters and you literally end up with a generic shakey cam action movie where the bad guys are from Russia. How original.
No but they did hold a contest for worst most boring reboot and this just beat out THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
Surprisedly amazing! Now I want to see this film!
When did Chris Pine take over the Bourne franchise? I love the title – it's so brandspeak. Shadow to symbolize he's a spy, recruit to let people know he's young and fresh.
It's a bad sign when the 80s start to look like a period of fresh, innovative movie making. Studios are just encouraging people to stay at home and watch TV with their utter lack of original stories. Most 'new' releases are cribbed from other films. And for that we can thank the exec-driven development process where notes are derived from the last three successful movies the exec saw.
Television kicks movies ass for original storytelling, and guess what? The writers are in charge.

Weird and Confusing Cousin Story
I have a cousin named Jennifer (actually a second-cousin, but we just say "cousin" because we're lazy). Anyway, Cousin Jennifer is 26 and taller than me. In fact, she's been taller than me ever since she was about, oh, 14. So, as you would expect, she refers to me as "Cousin Lanky" and I call her "Cousin Shorty." (Ha ha, we're the family cards!) It's just a silly thing we do, a silly thing that we've done for years and years, along with taking silly pictures at Christmas with our respective silly sisters. I am very lucky to have been adopted into a very silly (in a good way) family, on both sides.
Oh, I guess we can be non-silly sometimes. OK, so here's a non-silly picture of Cousin Shorty at the wedding.
Cute girl, isn't she? With glasses and a fake lightning scar on her forehead, she's the spitting image of Harry Potter. In fact, she was Harry for Halloween last year.
Anyway, after meeting my biological mother several years ago, I learned that I have a second cousin (as in an additional cousin) named Jennifer. We'll call her New Cousin Jennifer for now. She is also taller than me. Now, since I am an adopted child, Cousin Shorty (we'll call her Old Cousin Jennifer for now) is not my biological cousin (though she is very much my "real" cousin). Since we don't share the same genes, and since she has the genes of my 6'1" dad's and tall aunt's side of the family, it makes sense for her to be taller than me.
But you would expect New Cousin Jennifer, who is biologically related to me, to at least be somewhat SHORT, if not shorter than my towering five feet, two inches. But New Cousin Jennifer is quite a bit taller than me. Though I do not know how she compares with Old Cousin Jennifer, height-wise. I also don't know how her silliness factor compares to Old Cousin Jennifer's, but I'm sure it holds its own.
And to make things even more confusing, Old Cousin Jennifer is younger than New Cousin Jennifer. Which is why I do not refer to New Cousin Jennifer as Young Cousin Jennifer. I can't call her Second Cousin Jennifer, either, since Old Cousin Jennifer is technically my second cousin, even though she's the first cousin Jennifer that I met, back in 1978 when she was, oh, about two days old.
Are you with me so far?
As you can see, it's very confusing to have two Cousin Jennifers. So, I had a brilliant idea. Since I call Old Cousin Jennifer "Cousin Shorty," and since New Cousin Jennifer is taller than me, why not call New Cousin Jennifer "Cousin Tall-y"? So, I decided to ask New Cousin Jennifer if that was OK with her.
I hadn't asked her yet, though, because I knew she was in the midst of wedding plans. I'd wait till after she got married. Besides, I've only met her once and hardly know her. Hardly know if her silliness factor would see the humor in calling her Cousin Tall-y, when she's never even met Cousin Shorty and has no context for it.
Now, although I met New Cousin Jennifer's fiance once (at the same time I met New Cousin Jennifer), I didn't know his last name until recently, when I read Cousin Veronica's miraculously updated blog.
New Cousin Jennifer's new last name is going to be--get this--TAULLI. As in, sounds like the opposite of SHORTY.
How cool is that? It was meant to be! So now I have a Cousin Shorty and a Cousin Tall-y! Or would that be Cousin Taulli?
2 comments:
Dang, that chick is hot! Oh wait, I know her from the mirror...why not prove the silliness my talented LANKY cousin speaks of?
That's crazy that you now have another Cousin Jennifer, whose last name will be TALL-Y...that's how I'll spell it, anyway.
The picture is pretty funny, since I NEVER look like that...but I was honored to be a part of y'all's day, and so that makes me feel beautiful.
I do believe a silly cousin Christmas picture is totally in order,though. The literary public demands it!

If you are struggling through the Perth heatwave, spare a thought for Richard Malone, who has one of the hottest jobs in Perth - literally.
Mr Malone, a gold pourer at the Perth Mint dons thick Kevlar-coated clothing and handles gold that is heated to 1300 degrees.
He said on an average day, the room where the gold pours takes place would be anywhere between 30 and 40 degrees and that it was even hotter when the weather heated up like the past couple of days.
Mr Malone said he usually did not sweat while doing his job - or at least it felt like he did not.
"You find you don't sweat because it evaporates straight away," he said.
On days when the weather reaches 40 degrees - as is forecast fore the next few days - he said he tried to do his demonstration slightly faster than usual.
Mr Malone said he drinks about five or six litres of water to deal with the heat.
Perth's hot weather is expected to well and truly reach "official" heatwave status in the next few days.
A heatwave, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, happens when there are more than three days in a row with temperatures above 35 degrees.
The city experienced a peak of 38.9 degrees on Christmas Day and 37.5 degrees on Boxing Day.
The temperature reached 37.2 degrees on Thursday and is expected to exceed 40 on Friday and into the weekend, before a top forecast temperature of 38 degrees on Monday.
An ice-skating rink just might be the coolest place to work in a heatwave.
Maddison Mallis, a receptionist at the Xtreme Ice Arena in Mirrabooka said her manager probably had the best job for this weather, spending much of the time near ice chilled to minus 6 degrees.
Ms Mallis said the ice skating arena was usually busy during the school holidays but the hot weather had brought even bigger crowds than usual.
Perth's heatwave:
Friday 25-40 chance of a storm developing
Saturday 24-42 partly cloudy
Sunday 23-41 mostly sunny
Monday 21-38 mostly sunny

Raffi Torres, NHLPA to appeal 25-game suspension for hit on Marian Hossa
Raffi Torres was suspended longer for his hit on Marian Hossa in the first round of this year's playoffs longer than all but Chris Simon's 30-game suspension in 2007. Now Torres and the NHLPA are going to appeal the 25-game suspension that will almost assuredly carry over into next season.
Raffi Torres was suspended longer for his hit on Marian Hossa in the first round of this year's playoffs longer than all but Chris Simon's 30-game suspension in 2007. Now Torres and the NHLPA are going to appeal the 25-game suspension that will almost assuredly carry over into next season.
Like any appeal of a ruling from Brendan Shanahan, the ruling will be made by none other than Gary Bettman, the man who employs Shanahan and defends his decisions at almost every turn. But you suppose the glimmer of hope rests in the details, on what grounds he's appealing.
Elliotte Friedman of CBC explains the thinking of Torres.
Apparently, is not arguing the fact he was disciplined, but saying 25 games was "excessive"...CBA says discipline needs to be enforced in...— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) May 3, 2012
a "consistent" manner and question will be was his suspension consistent with others? (More)— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) May 3, 2012
Well if that is the ground then I suppose it's worth a shot. But this touches on something I've mentioned before: It's hard to find consistency with the three-pronged criteria Shanahan uses in his suspensions. It's so incredibly rare that one case is the same as the next.
You end up comparing apples to apricots. In Shanahan's time there has been no player who has come before him in a hearing that had the kind of rap sheet as Torres did. It was also one of the more injurious hits Shanahan has ruled on. Even though we haven't heard much as to what happened to Hossa, it's safe to say that if the Blackhawks had advanced instead of the Coyotes he wouldn't be playing.
Consistency is chucked out the window like a cigarette butt on the highway. It's useless.
Plus, don't forget the added dynamic of the NHL owning the Coyotes. By that I mean the other 29 owners in the NHL each own a part of that franchise right now. Bettman responds to these owners. There was already a stink when Phoenix GM Don Maloney was allowed to add a little payroll at the trade deadline, imagine if a suspension for a player on that team was shortened while the team is still alive in the playoffs?
So to sum it all up for Torres: Good luck, you're going to need it.
If nothing else, though, this will hopefully be the impetus to raise the appeals process in the CBA negotiations this summer. It's pretty absurd and the players are given no chance when the appeal is going to the boss of the man of who made the suspension in the first place. Talk about a loaded deck.

Comments about PBS NOVA: Why Sharks Attack DVD:
I am a diehard NOVA (and Nature) fan, but have not seen either cover anything new in the field of shark research in quite a few years. (This contrasts with the highly sensationalized shark programs on other TV stations that shall remain nameless). So I was quite interested in viewing this program. I found it to be a balance of scientific research and human interest that is suitable for a range of ages. Not too many talking heads, and not so much jargon that it would discourage the viewer with a casual interest in sharks. It may not include your favorite species, or your pet hypothesis as to why sharks attack, but it updates us on the types of research being conducted, and some conclusions that have been reached.

Hung Kings on a pedestal
Ha Noi sculptor Ha Tri Dung has used steel and concrete to make the 3.25m high statues.
The veteran said they are his homage to the 18 kings.
They cost the Gia Lai Culture and Tourism Company more than VND600 million (US$33,000) to make.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Glenn Beck and cable channel Fox News are ending his daily TV show after falling ratings, a loss of advertisers and months of controversy over inflammatory remarks by the conservative U.S. host.
Beck, 47, "intends to transition off of his daily program," called "Glenn Beck," later this year, Fox News and Beck's production company, Mercury Radio Arts, said in a joint statement on Wednesday.
Fox said Beck will "develop and produce a variety of television projects" for Fox News and other platforms in the future, but did not give details.
Beck's nightly show currently draws about 1.9 million viewers, dwarfing the ratings for other cable news shows in the time slot. But audiences are down 30 percent from a year ago.
Some reports estimate about 300 companies have either pulled their ads or declined to run commercials on his show in the past 18 months after campaigns by black and Jewish groups.
Both Beck and Fox had hinted a split might be coming as some of his opinions have proved particularly controversial, such as when he claimed that U.S. President Barack Obama had "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
In January, several hundred rabbis called on Fox News to sanction Beck for repeated use of Nazi and Holocaust imagery and for airing attacks on World War Two survivor and financier George Soros.
The group Jewish Funds for Justice said it delivered 10,000 petitions to Fox News late last year demanding the cancellation of Beck's show.
"Fox News is dumping Glenn Beck because he has been rejected by Jews, by Christians and people of conscience from across the political spectrum," Simon Greer, president of Jewish Funds for Justice, said on Wednesday.
Beck, a favorite of the Tea Party political movement, has been one of the most popular voices on Fox News, culminating in a public rally in Washington last year attended by tens of thousands of Americans in a conservative show of strength.
But he has also made scathing comments on topics ranging from Islam to global warming.
David Brock, a spokesman for Media Matters for America, which often criticizes Fox News, said in a statement the "only surprise is that it took Fox News months to reach this decision" after he lost the support of advertisers.
Some commentators have speculated Beck may want to start his own cable channel. An author of several bestselling books, he launched his own news website last year, "The Blaze," saying it was time to "do something" on his own. Forbes magazine estimated Mercury Radio Arts made $32 million in 2009 to March 1. 2010.
But a possible run for political office did not seem likely, experts said.
"He has an extraordinarily successful career and has for many decades, primarily in radio and now in TV most recently, and that's a good function for him," Karen Hanretty, who has worked for the campaigns of Republican actors-turned-politicians Arnold Schwarzenegger and Fred Thompson, told Reuters.
Beck also has a syndicated radio show that reaches 10 million weekly listeners and is heard on more than 400 radio stations across the country.
Beck said in a statement on Wednesday that he is looking forward "to starting this new phase of our partnership" with Fox News.

65 cars, 3 big rigs pile up in Massachusetts
WORCESTER, Mass. — Freezing rain was blamed for highway pileups that sent dozens of people to the hospital on Sunday morning in central and northern Massachusetts.
Massachusetts State Police say a crash involving 65 cars and three tractor-trailers closed Interstate 290 in Worcester about 7 a.m.
About 35 to 40 people were taken to hospitals. Two were seriously injured.
Both directions of the highway were reopened by 11:45 a.m., authorities said.
Sergeant Stephen Marsh compared the road to a sheet of ice.
"It was like if you went skating with your kids. It was that bad," he said.
A state police car was rear-ended, and the trooper was forced to hurriedly return to her cruiser to avoid cars sliding toward her.
The National Weather Service issued a freezing rain advisory through 11 a.m. Sunday for much of western and central Massachusetts, northeast Connecticut and northwest Rhode Island.
Police advised motorists returning home from the Thanksgiving holiday to wait until state highway crews treated the roads.
Michael Verseckes, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said crews treated roads earlier, but conditions deteriorated quickly.
"It came up suddenly and quickly, and the number of crews we had just wasn't enough," he said.
Temperatures are forecast to rise into the 40s on Monday, keeping roads free of ice.

After a decade, it looks like Australia is finally ready for Hilltop Hoods. Tim Colman catches up.
It has taken a while for the land of pub rock to catch on to hip-hop. Just ask MC Suffa from South Australia's Hilltop Hoods.
"There's a much broader audience these days," says Suffa. "It's not just your straight-up b-boy crowd.
"Five years ago, hip-hop shows used to be stag nights, where you got 200 blokes and five birds there. Now it's about 50-50. I reckon the female audience feels more comfortable at shows now than five years ago, when there was more violence and a lot of attitude."
Hilltop Hoods have been dropping rhymes and beats for more than 10 years. During that period, they've witnessed the impressive emergence of Australian hip-hop.
"When we started, it was an underground movement," says Suffa. "Now it's quite big, and getting interest from the media."
Hilltop Hoods formed in Adelaide in the early '90s when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at school.
"We started rhyming at high school," says Suffa. "Writing rhymes about our German teacher. She was a big girl, to put it politely."
They were later joined by DJ Debris, who completed the trio. The group have since released an EP and three albums, the latest being The Calling.
"The album took 18 months to complete because we were building tracks; then we'd scrap them, then we'd build another one and scrap that," says Suffa. "The process took a fair while. We went through probably 150 beats when selecting what we were going to keep.
"Our style has changed a bit. We used to do more melancholy tracks, with slower beats, but this album is a bit more of an up-tempo, battle-styled, party record.
"We take the piss out of ourselves on this album. It's probably more casual. We're a bit more laid-back about [the recording process] then we used to be. Before, we were a bit too serious."
The hip-hop industry is often guilty of taking itself too seriously. Suffa believes some of hip-hop's players need to lighten up, but he acknowledges that such behaviour is not for everyone.
"Some people make records completely defaming themselves the whole record and that's their thing," he says.
"I guess it depends on who it is. With someone like Chuck D from Public Enemy, you wouldn't want him taking the piss out of himself. You want Chuck taking matters seriously.
"It depends on the person. But I think we all take ourselves too seriously."
The new approach has been successful, with national broadcaster Triple J naming The Calling album of the week.
"Album of the week is a good thing because it gets your music to a whole lot of people who never would have heard it and bothered with it otherwise," says Suffa.
Such exposure should help in promoting your upcoming national tour, then?
"Well, we'll soon find out," says Suffa. "If there's only 20 people there, it didn't help."

Subaru Slaps In-Car Wi-Fi into its 2011 Outback
Subaru has announced that purchasers of its 2011 Outback will be able to pick up an in-car Wi-Fi system as an $499 add-on (plus $35 activation fee) to the car's $23,000 asking price.
The 802.11 a/b/g hotspot runs on 2.5G and 3G cellular networks, powered by Autonet Mobile, giving drivers and passengers a Wi-Fi bubble throughout a fairly significant chunk of the United States.
Like most other wireless Internets services, however, Subaru's Mobile Internet isn't going to come freenor unlimited. The company offers two standard access plans: $29 per month for one gigabyte of data or $59 per month for five gigabytes.
There are no overage charges, however; Autonet Mobile merely throttles your bandwidth down at an increasing rate for every bit of data transferred beyond the limits of a given plan.
The one-year service contract for Subaru's 2011 Outback comes with the first free months free-of-charge before the service switches over to Autonet Mobile's standard rates.
Average download speeds, as indicated by the company, range from 400 to 800 kbps downloads and 128 to 300 kbps uploads when hitting up a 3G connection to a lesser 120 to 200 kbps download rate and 50 to 100 kbps upload rate over 2.5G service.
The Kicking Tires blog over at cars.com remains unconvinced.
"We've said it before, and we'll say it again: It doesn't make sense to pay for most in-car Wi-Fi solutions from automakers," writes editor David Thomas.
Sharon Silke Carty over at USA Today's Drive On blog crunched the numbers, however, and found that in-car Wi-Fi through Subaru's Mobile Internet plan actually runs cheaper than comparable smartphone plans.
"For 24 months, the Subaru plan will cost you $1,164," she writes, referencing Billshrink's Total Cost of Ownership infographic. "The average iPhone user is paying $2,838 for that same timeframe."
For what it's worth, smartphone-based Internet is also truly "mobile." While one is free to uninstall and reinstall Autonet Mobile's Wi-Fi device into supported vehicles, you can't exactly carry it with you.
That kind of functionality is built into the company's newer product, the CarFi, which allows you to slap docking stations into your fleet of vehicles and transfer the wireless "bubble," as it were, at a whim.Editor's Note: The original version of this story misspelled "Subaru".

Testing continues at this circuit tomorrow, when Fernando Alonso will be on track for the final day of the test.
The sun was still shining on Scuderia Ferrari as it tackled the penultimate day of testing at the Sakhir Circuit. It marked Kimi Raikkonen's final test appearance prior to the Finn getting back behind the wheel of the F14 T at the Australian GP in twelve days' time.
In the afternoon, Kimi did some short runs as well as a race simulation, including some live practice pit stops.
"I'd hoped to do more laps, but this wasn't an easy day," said Kimi to www.ferrari.com. "We lost some time this morning when we had to fix something on the car, but then we managed to make up for some of it in the afternoon. Running a race distance, we continued to get more data relating to fuel consumption strategies and tyre degradation, even though the strong wind upset the driving a lot. I'd like to be able to say we did better, but there's still one more day with Fernando to continue our preparation for Melbourne."
Testing continues at this circuit tomorrow, when Fernando Alonso will be on track for the final day of the test.
Fast Facts:
Circuit: Sakhir circuit – 5.412 km
Driver: Kimi Raikkonen
Car: Ferrari F14 T
Weather: air temperature 24/29°C, track temperature 27/37 °C. Sunny.

AT&T-AT&T+ Windows-Windows+ HTC-HTC+
It was not too long ago that we were introduced to the massive 4.7" display on the HTC Titan and we came away overall impressed, though not blown away by the device. HTC and AT&T obviously read our review and were heartbroken, so they rushed an upgraded product to market in hopes of pleasing us. Just over four months after the release of the Titan, we now have the Titan II. The Titan II should probably be named the Titan 4G, because the only real difference between the two is the inclusion of LTE and the impressive bump from an 8MP camera to 16MP. Are these changes enough to appease us? Read on to find out…

The Norton Panthers wrapped up their third Portage Trail Conference Metro Championship in only four years Friday night in the Panther Den at Norton High School. The Panthers used a 14-0 run at the end of the first half to take a double-digit lead and held on in the second half to claim a 56-46 victory over visiting Streetsboro.
The Norton win gives the Panthers (18-3, 12-1 PTC Metro) a two-game advantage with only one division game remaining next Friday at Kent Roosevelt. The Rockets (11-9, 10-3 PTC Metro) had won eight straight division games before falling to the Panthers.
Norton head coach Rod Swartz was excited about the victory as he watched his players cut down the nets following the game.
"We have played pretty much eight or nine guys all year and tonight we had a couple lulls in the game that looked like they would make a run, but then guys stepped up and it all worked out," said Swartz. "I'm really proud of this team. It is something special because we have had to deal with a lot of adversity this year both on the court and off the court and these kids have really come through nice."
Jeff Schulte led the Panther offensive attack by firing up five 3-pointers and finishing the night with 18 points. Tyler Sherman closed with 14 points, eight coming at the foul line, while also pulled down a team-high nine rebounds. Javonte Smith finished the night with eight points.
The final four minutes of the first half sewed up a lead that the Rockets would not be able to overcome. Streetsboro took a two-point lead in the final seconds of the first quarter on a 3-pointer by Brandon Gency for a 9-7 advantage after one.
With the Rockets leading 18-15 with 4:28 remaining the half, the Panthers went on their run and Streetsboro could not find the basket for the final four minutes of the half. The Panthers had five 3s in the first half, with Schulte hitting three long-range bombs. The Panthers took a 29-18 advantage into the locker room at intermission.
Gency led the Streetsboro scoring with 15 points while Paul Jenkins scored 10. Rocket leading scorer Jordan Matusik was held to only eight points, something Swartz said his team really worked hard to accomplish.
"Everyone knows that he is their scorer and we threw about four different guys at him tonight in an effort to shut him down, and our guys responded," said Swartz.
Schulte opened the second half by hitting another 3, then Matt McGlone scored inside and Norton maintained its advantage with a 43-29 lead after three quarters.
Streetsboro managed to cut the deficit to only nine points with 3:26 on the game clock, but the Panthers came back with five straight points at the free-throw line and went back up by 54-40 with two minutes to play.
"We are going to enjoy this now and get back to work on Monday and prepare for Kent," said Swartz. "We want to have an exciting season and this is just part of it. We want to have an extended run in the tournaments and you never know what can happen."

Tomorrow we're leaving to go to Switzerland for a conference, and it's going to be a long trip from San Francisco to Geneva - 14 hours! Airplane food is not known for being particularly tasty, and we'd like to pack our own meal. But with security regulations, we wondered: what can we carry on the plane?Rules of the Road Trip
If you're planning your own end-of-summer getaway, I've gleaned some ideas from my own experience on how you can vacation without gaining 20 pounds, not to mention throwing your eco-conscious intentions to the wind.What are your Favorite Airplane Snacks? (for kids)
It's no secret that airline food isn't particularly kid friendly, and lately most flights don't include any food at all, leaving parents to bring along their own snacks and meals for their hungry kids. [...] There is an art-form to packing snacks to bring along on an plane ride. They need need to last un-refrigerated for hours, cannot contain liquid, and preferably they take no space at all, are filling, and not sugar laden.So, what are your favorite travel snacks and how do you stay healthy while on the road or in the air?

The singer, who looks okay during the performance of 'Can't Be Tamed', stops singing and begins crying after a giant inflatable Floyd came out on stage.
Miley Cyrus, who lost her favorite dog Floyd earlier this week, broke down in tears onstage when she was performing at TD Garden in Boston on Wednesday night, April 2. The 21-year-old singer looked fine until a giant inflatable Floyd came out on stage.
The star, who was in the middle of performing "Can't Be Tamed", stopped singing and started crying while hugging the giant dog's paw. Her younger sister Noah Cyrus eventually came to the stage to console her.
Similar thing happened earlier that day. During soundcheck before the concert, Cyrus shed tears as she was covering Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" as a tribute to Floyd.
"I'm sure you guys already know, but the reason that I'm so upset is my dog, I shouldn't say he was my favorite but he was my favorite, he passed away. We used to always listen to Fleetwood Mac together, it's his favorite song...so I wanna do this song for Floyd," she told the crowd before the performance.
Mid-song, the former "Hannah Montana" actress cried and her sister Noah rushed to the stage to give her a hug.

A wooded hillside north of Grafton, New Hampshire, USA
After a couple of failures it looked like this one had a decent shot, and it was only about 10 miles away. Thomas agreed to come along and try out geohashing, though the rest of the usual crowd opted out. Thankfully we encountered no Private Road or No Trespassing signs; the worst we saw was No Hunting, and we were planning to obey that directive anyway.
The hashpoint was in woods on the side of a hill, about 2000 feet from the nearest road. That road turned out to be gravel but wide and well-maintained, and while quite a few people lived along it there was also a bunch of woods frontage. We chose a promising-looking woods road as our entry point. After about a half hour in the woods, on a combination of old woods roads and light bushwhacking, we found the hashpoint next to a big white pine. Failure string broken!

St. Michael the Archangel High School instructor Kevin "Doc" Andry was named the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge Distinguished Secondary Educator of the Year.
The Distinguished Secondary Educator of the Year Award is annually given to a Catholic secondary educator who reflects the richness and diversity of American Catholic education, a news release said.
Andry is a musician, educator and a strong Catholic role model for students and teachers, the release said.
He has spent more than 26 years as a teacher in Catholic high schools, while also teaching part time in Catholic elementary schools.
Andry received a Bachelor of Music degree from Loyola University in New Orleans in 1982, a master's degree in music performance from LSU in 1984 and a doctorate from LSU in 1988.
"I am overwhelmed and humbled by the recognition of being named the recipient of the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge Educational Excellence Award," Andry said. "I am truly blessed to be able to pursue my vocation of teaching music and be able to share my faith among my students and colleagues on a daily basis. I am fortunate and blessed to get up every morning and work with the students at St. Michael High School."
Over the past six years, Andry has volunteered his time at St. Jean Vianney School, a local kindergarten-through-eighth-grade Catholic school, to help boost the school's band program and prepare the students to attend St. Michael High School.
Andry teaches students that they should use their gifts and talents for God, the release said.
Andry gives after-school music lessons to his students who are eager to learn difficult pieces of music or perfect their techniques.
"Dr. Kevin Andry's professionalism, abundant energy and generosity of spirit distinguishes him as an outstanding educator," said Melanie Verges, superintendent of Catholic schools for the Diocese of Baton Rouge. "He shines a light on the talents of his students and helps them all develop a deep appreciation for the arts."
With teaching part-time at a local elementary school, teaching full-time at St. Michael High School and playing for St. Jude Masses on Sunday, Andry has a full schedule, the release said.
He plays in the Baton Rouge Symphony.


text: Hiya, Hello one and all. I have just purchased an Audi A4 Saloon TDI 130ps (2001) in Denim metallic blue and am looking to do the odd thing to it. I am hoping to get it re-mapped by angel tuning as they are local to me. Has anyone had experience of these people in remapping their Audi's? Also the skirts, bumpers and trim of my car is a charcoal/black colour and not colour coded which is a real shame. I'd like to get some kit, have it coloured coded and fitted to my car. The only problem is I have no experience of this and have no idea where to go. I am looking for perhaps Votex or SLine kit but don't wish to travel to far for fitters. I am in the SE, between Portsmouth and Guildford. Does anyone know of decent body styling fitters and kitters in this area? Kind Regards Slapbladder

"Is it a gathering, a shindig, or a hootenanny?"
So I was all excited about the beginning of Season 3 and my new built-in Buffy reviewing time slot before work, when my beloved laptop Bronco's hard drive died. It was a trying time.
But to be honest, I had no desire to watch this episode again anyway, as my recollection of it is Xander throwing a big temper tantrum. I'm actually posting this entry a week after watching the episode because I couldn't be bothered adding pictures or, you know, commentary. Instead I listened to two Taylor Swift albums. Took many naps. I watched Once More, With Feeling. Twice.
Alas. I can't go on, I'll go on. You may recall that when we last saw Buffy, she had run away from home for the summer, returning to Sunnydale just in time for the fall season. This episode deals with The Aftermath--nobody seems to know how to react to Buffy's return, least of all Buffy. She makes a lot of faces like this:
Ensue a series of painfully awkward scenes between Buffy and Joyce/the Scoobies. When Buffy asks for permission to go out, Joyce tactfully asks, "Will you be slaying?"
Buffy finds Xander prowling the streets, but for once not for defenseless ladies! He has a cross and a stake, and a walkie talkie, on which Cordelia addresses him as "Nighthawk."
It seems that in Buffy's absence, Xander, Willow, Cordelia and Oz did some slaying of their own.
So all seems well, no? Buffy may still be expelled--when Joyce goes to Principal Snyder to argue that Buffy was cleared of all murder charges (Kendra, remember her?), he says that he tingles with pleasure at the thought of keeping a troublemaker out of school.
But besides Principal Snyder, everyone's happy to see Buffy. Especially Pat.
Pat is Joyce's busybody friend from book club who supported Joyce in the aftermath of her daughter's delinquency. She likes to make empanadas in her Spanish class. And she thinks it's time for Buffy and Joyce to re-bond. She's the mom and apple pie, PTA-friendly stalwart to Joyce's terror at what essentially amounts to having a gay child.
Buffy goes to the basement to prepare for her welcome back dinner party, and a dead cat falls on her head. I don't know about your basement, but this seems a bit unlikely.
They bury the cat in their yard, but come nightfall, the scary mask in Joyce's room glows red and the cat digs out of its grave. It runs into the Summers kitchen right as Joyce Struggles With Buffy's Coming Out, saying, "I think the police would be happy to have a...superhero? I mean, is that the right term? Is that offensive?"
For some reason, the Scoobies put their analysis of the zombie cat on hold to decide to co-opt Joyce's stuffy welcome home gathering, invite all of Sunnydale High, and hire Dingoes Ate My Baby to play the one song they have over and over while Oz holds his big boy bass.
Buffy feels that Xander and Willow are trying to avoid having to spend any real time with her. Then she overhears Joyce talking about Buffy's homecoming with Pat and gets the wrong end of the stick. She heads up to her room and starts packing up to leave--again. But I thought she found herself last episode!!
Never fear, for Willow and Buffy tearfully talk about how they have boys now and dating and witchcraft and they missed each other and let's never fight again ok?? :') :') :')
The downside--Joyce's new decorative mask is reanimating corpses all over Sunnydale, and they're headed for the Summers home. Bad timing, as Joyce picks this exact moment to have a big confrontation with Buffy in the middle of the party. She's still trying to deal with having a Slayer child, and yells, "You just dumped this thing on me and expected me to handle it! Well Mom's not perfect!" Then Xander decides to butt in and tell Buffy what scum she is and STFU XANDER. Then Willow starts to say something and Xander butts in to tell Buffy how Willow thinks she's scum because STFU Xander.
Then some zombies break through the windows in the middle of his sanctimonious blabber. Thanks zombies.
Pat bites it, but really, we saw that coming. She zombifies and puts on the evil exotic Nigerian mask, making her the incarnation of evil. Or something.
Buffy saves the day as usual. And for one reason or another, the bonding experience of cowering in closets in terror makes everything A-OK with the Scoobies. They may still have no idea that Buffy had to kill Angel and that Xander is a gigantic douche, but everything is more or less okay, right? Somehow?
Well, almost! Giles turns up at Snyder's office to tell him in no uncertain terms that Buffy WILL be returning to Sunnydale High. There may be some violence.
And that's that. I vow next time to pick up the energy and not spend a week dreading having to review a perfectly fine episode in a perfunctory fashion.
Favorite moment: Buffy is nervous about seeing Giles for the first time, and almost turns away from his door. But he's pretty much the only one who doesn't throw a temper tantrum, and instead goes into the kitchen to have a little private moment and choke back tears of joy.
Awwwww Giles, running the gamut of emotions this episode!

Jude Law and Sienna Miller Split Up Again
Wondering why you haven't seen Jude Law and Sienna Miller together lately? There's a good reason.
A rep for Law tells People magazine that the Alfie co-stars and on-again, off-again couple have once again severed their romantic ties:
"I can confirm that Jude Law and Sienna Miller are no longer in a relationship."
So what happened? According to a friend of Law's, who says that the split occurred several weeks ago, their relationship just ran out of steam:
"It was an entirely and end-of-the relationship decision. It had run its course."
Law and Miller initially began seeing each other in late 2003, becoming engaged on Christmas 2004, but split up in 2006. The pair had reignited their relationship in 2009.
Do you think they'll stay broken up this time? Hit us up with your predictions in the comments section.

Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says he is offering the people of western Sydney a plan for the future, not just a visit.
Mr Abbott was in the area on Sunday for Clean Up Australia Day, making his presence felt before Prime Minister Julia Gillard starts her week-long bid to capture hearts and minds in the key election battleground.
Mr Abbott said the coalition had a "simple" plan for western Sydney, including cutting the cost of living by abolishing the carbon tax and taking the pressure off police through the use of CCTV in crime hotspots.
The coalition would also sort out transport problems and address environmental issues with its Green Army proposal.
"I think it's really important that the people of Sydney and Australia - and of western Sydney in particular this week - know that there are people in our public life who have a plan for them," Mr Abbott told reporters at Auburn.
"This is a plan, not just a visit.
"I think that's what the people of western Sydney want, the people of Australia can see what our positive plans, what our real solutions are, for this country."
A poll published this weekend shows federal Labor faces a wipe-out in western Sydney and is likely to lose several seats previously considered safe, unless the party switches back to Kevin Rudd.
The Fairfax Media/ReachTEL automated poll of 664 voters, taken in four safe Labor electorates in Sydney's west, found much of Labor's collapse could be linked to negative perceptions of Ms Gillard.
Cabinet minister Chris Bowen, whose electorate of McMahon is one of the four deemed under threat, said Labor would fight hard on the issues that counted for western Sydney.
Locals were well represented by "dedicated, talented" federal Labor members, while the coalition was running its campaign from the Liberal heartland of Sydney's north shore.
"We're more than happy to have western Sydney as a battleground because we have a very good story to tell," Mr Bowen told Sky News on Sunday.

East Ridge boys basketball: Raptors blow out Park, fall to Stillwater and STMA
The East Ridge boys basketball team had an up-and-down week, falling to Suburban East Conference foe Stillwater 56-54 and non-conference opponent St. Michael-Albertville 74-71, but blowing out rival Park 75-41 in between.
To start the week, East Ridge (7-10; 4-5 SEC) traveled to Stillwater and played to a 24-23 deficit at the half. Stillwater (6-10; 4-5 SEC) then outpaced the Raptors 32-31 in the second half to escape its home gym with a victory.
"We felt we let one slip away," East Ridge head coach Paul Virgin said. "We got our turnover number down but still gave up 12 offensive rebounds to Stillwater."
East Ridge senior Justin Pahl led the way in the loss with a team-high 19 points. Senior Jared Morris and sophomore Brian Ishola each chipped in nine points apiece, while freshman point guard Sid Tomes netted eight points.
The Raptors bounced back from the loss by thumping intra-district rival Park by 34 points on Friday, Jan. 27, at East Ridge.
East Ridge led 48-24 at the half then held on, outscoring Park 27-17 in the second half.
"I liked what we did offensively and our defensive pressure was much better," Virgin said. "Giving up 15 offensive rebounds is unacceptable if we want to continue to improve though."
Pahl led all scorers with 18 points against the Wolfpack (2-15; 0-9 SEC). However, sophomore guard Jake Knupp netted 12 points and juniors Nate Roese and Conrad Sexe each added 10 points to give the Raptors four players in double figures. Sexe also had seven blocks in the game.
In the week's finale at St. Michael-Albertville (12-5), East Ridge fell behind 39-26 in the first half. The Raptors responded to outscore STMA 45-35 in the second half, but couldn't get over the hump.
Pahl led the way with a season-high 38 points. Ishola had 10 points and Sexe netted nine points and hauled down nine rebounds.
"We came out a little flat and you can't do that against a team like STMA," Virgin said. "We fought back hard in the second half and Justin was fabulous offensively, but again our Achilles heel has been giving up offensive rebounds and that is what stopped us from getting over the top on them."
East Ridge took on White Bear Lake on Tuesday, Jan. 31, after the Bulletin went to print.
Next, East Ridge plays host to rival Woodbury, which is ranked ninth in the state and is undefeated (9-0) in conference play thus far and 14-2 overall.
"We start the second half of the conference season and are looking for improvement," Virgin said. "If we can fix the rebounding problem I like our chances."

Ina Garten's Fruitcake Cookies — 12 Days of Cookiesby Maria Russo in Holidays, Recipes, December 8th, 2012
It's time for 12 Days of Cookies, Food Network's annual virtual cookie swap. Each day, visit us here on FN Dish for a peek at new holiday cookies, party-planning tips and top techniques for rolling, spooning, slicing, baking and decorating delicious sweet treats to give — or keep — from your favorite Food Network chefs.
Forget about everything you know – and perhaps dislike – about traditional holiday fruitcakes because this recipe is nothing like those dense, dry loaves. Ina's cookies, merely inspired by fruitcake, are light and moist, made with four different kinds of dried fruit, chopped pecans, golden honey and a pinch of ground cloves for subtle spice. Perhaps the best part about these cookies is that they can be shaped into logs and kept in the refrigerator for a last-minute party dessert or sweet-tooth-satisfying treat – just slice as many cookies as you need and save the remaining dough for later.
Get Ina's Fruitcake Cookies recipe and check out 12 Days of Cookies for dozens more recipes and holiday baking inspiration. Then, join the conversation: Tell us what you're baking this season and what your all-time favorite cookie is.

PARIS — Hairstylist Luigi Murenu wove rows of braids around models' heads for the Viktor & Rolf show.
He said the look was about "youth, innocence and purity — almost from a David Hamilton kind of inspiration."
Murenu used John Frieda Luxurious Volume spray on the coifs, which involved some loose strands left flowing.
Makeup artist Pat McGrath applied blush to models' cheeks and lips and added some concealer for contoured eyes.
She put mascara only on the top lashes of models' peepers and described their brows as groomed "to perfection."

The PNB Poker Buzz for November 2, 2013
Every Saturday PokerNewsBoy.com brings you the latest gossip, debates, and disputes from the world of Poker Blogs, Forums, Editorials, and Social Media in what we are calling The Poker Buzz. So get your weekend started with the PokerNewsBoy.com Buzz.
Howard Lederer turns 50, has his cake and eats it too
Judging by this post over at PokerFraudAlert.com It appears that poker's least favorite WSOP bracelet winner (I'd say Russ Hamilton is the most-hated) really likes cake, as at least five cakes were on display at Howard Lederer's 50th birthday party.
Of course, the comments on the poker forums (PFA and 2+2) were nothing but positive, with former Full Tilt Poker players wishing Howard a happy birthday; complete with positive, uplifting messages like:
"F*cking scumbag. I should of punched him when I saw him in the parking lot at Commerce some years ago. He wouldn't be 50 today. Would of saved a lot of people some $$$."
"Howard looks really rough for 50… I would have guessed that he was 10 years older."
Other posters on 2+2 were a little more forgiving; one in particular called Lederer a scumbag, but is of the mind that even scumbags should be allowed to celebrate birthdays:
"He's obv a scumbag but he can't just keep apologizing all of his life and not celebrate a birthday, move on,"
Isildur1 is back in black… but for how long?
It's an all too common cycle for Viktor "Isildur1" Blom at the online poker tables: Win a few million, lose it all back and few million of your own, and then win it back and then some. Earlier this year Blom was the biggest winner in online poker, with some $5 million in winnings, but during September and early October all of that money was lost, and Blom found himself in the hole $2 million.
But after a four-week, $5 million, heater, capped off with a $1.2 million win over Doug "WCGrider" Polk, Blom is once again the biggest winner at the online poker tables for 2013 –no word yet on how many years he's shaved off his life with these multi-million dollar swings.
Moneymaker sports-betting drama not going away quietly
Last week we brought you the story of Chris Moneymaker and Jason Young, who are locked in a he-said she-said war of words over $20,000 in sports bets. It looked as if we had some closure to the fiasco when the two apparently came to an agreement with both Jason Young (post below) and Chris Moneymaker telling 2+2 they had hashed things out:
"Alright guys…we have reached an agreement- I had a long post to try and answer some of the ridiculous questions in here. Some of you guys just choose not to read, or it will never be enough- even more of the reason im glad this is all over with.
" And it will be mentioned that like I said all along, I was never scamming anyone, I wasn't this "boss" person, my timeline was correct that in between the 2 instances let me remind you guys that I opened a substantial business- which again is why my liquid cash wasn't available to handle 2nd situation. I got screwed just as much as anyone, and ive been simply trying to make things right with all parties to move forward…and I believe that is happening now.
" as for chris- I was always a fan as well as many of you are. But even outside of that I believe him to be a good genuine guy, him and I have had many conversations about everything ranging from poker, and sports to my business, our families and our mutual hatred of being taken advantage of. I don't feel like he had bad intentions ever, and he is incredibly jaded by that world and people in general, as am I…
" there are no hard feelings, and we will probably have a beer out in vegas next time I see him…"
But then this post by Chris Moneymaker happened, and it seems that we are back to square 1:
"Given new information and most importantly how it was handled by jason I am not paying him at all. He would of found 2+2 if he won and dodged that guy. I was fooled again talking to him and how he was a good guy just trying to pay everyone off. In reality he is talking to them and making promises while playing 5k events. End of discussion for me."

The Day of Your Surgery
Where Is the Surgery Performed?
The University of Chicago Medicine provides a private and discreet environment for those seeking surgery to enhance their body image. Surgery is performed on-site by faculty plastic surgeons to assure that you have access to safe and comprehensive care. Because we are an academic medical center, your surgeon may be assisted by plastic surgery residents undergoing training during the surgical procedure.
How Long Will I Stay in the Hospital?
The total time spent at the University of Chicago hospital will depend on the type of surgery and anesthesia you have. With some procedures, you will be able to return home on the same day of surgery. Other aesthetic surgery procedures require hospitalization for one or two days. You may also elect to remain in the hospital for a short time to recover from surgery. These options will be discussed during your pre-operative visit. Your surgeon will estimate the total operative and recovery times so that you may make arrangements for transportation following surgery. Regardless of the time spent in the hospital, you should arrange for an adult to take you home following your discharge and plan to have someone with you at home for at least the first 48 hours for your own safety and assistance.
If your surgery is performed as "outpatient" or "day surgery," and you are slow to recover from the anesthesia or do not have anyone to take you home following surgery, it may be safer and more convenient to stay in the hospital overnight to allow a full recovery. Remember, you will not be discharged home unless it is medically safe to do so.
What Type of Anesthesia Is Used?
General anesthesia and local anesthesia with sedation represent the two most common types of anesthesia used for aesthetic surgery procedures. General anesthesia involves the administration of an anesthetic gas by an anesthesiologist that puts you totally asleep during the surgical procedure. Local anesthesia with sedation involves the local injection of a numbing solution at the operative site while you are awake but sedated with tranquilizing medications. Many aesthetic surgery procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation to allow your surgeon additional latitude in adjusting skin tension and evaluating the effects of graft or suture placement. To many people who have not experienced local anesthesia with sedation, the thought of undergoing surgery while awake is somewhat disconcerting. In reality, this type of anesthesia is quite effective and relaxing, and results in shorter recovery times and less post-operative side effects from the anesthesia. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of anesthesia and these will be discussed with you prior to surgery.

Season 5: Episode 86: The OppositeAs Elaine proudly announces her new promotion, George concludes that all of his instincts in life have been wrong. Deciding to try something different, he changes his regular lunch order and, upon catching her eye, ends up making a date with a beautiful customer named Victoria. Then, on their date George impresses Victoria with an uncharacteristic display of bravery, while Kramer's coffee table book lands him on "Live With Regis and Kathie Lee" and a sudden cancellation followed by another last minute booking keeps Jerry's busy schedule in balance.
While waiting at the movies, Elaine learns that her date had an accident and is in the hospital. But, after finding she stopped to buy a box of candy before going to see him, Jake accuses her of being insensitive and asks to be left alone. Then, after Jerry claims that his life always seem to be able to even itself out, Elaine tests his theory by throwing $20 out the window. Arriving with Jerry's twenty in hand, George notes that Victoria's uncle has set him up with a job interview with the New York Yankees, while Kramer's appearance on television is marred when he spits coffee on Kathie Lee.
As Kramer is told by Lippman not to do anymore TV shows, George's honesty with Yankee owner George Steinbrenner lands him the job. Then, after Elaine is evicted from the apartment she has been subletting for the last four years, Jerry is dumped by his girlfriend, only to meet someone new. To make matters worse, Elaine knocks Lippman's handkerchief into a wastebasket, setting off a chain of events which prove embarrassing to the head of a Japanese conglomerate slated to buy the publishing company. So, when the misunderstanding caused by her mistake ends up bringing down Pendant Publishing and jeopardizes the future of Kramer's book, Elaine realizes that she has become George

For a while I've held the belief that identifying oneself as an architect is a kind of drag, a mannered persona donned for effect. How else to describe the clichéd sartorial signifiers: extreme eyewear, black daywear and designer footwear? As the education of an architect is so historically weighted to a canon of male practitioners, theorists and educators, a woman entering the field often operates as a kind of architectural androgyne...

"...we are trained to see world of design through black-framed, male-coloured glasses. Gender differentiation, then, comes with a thorny rhetorical question: 'What's the difference?' If the goal is to recognise talent, experimentation and innovation, there seems no reason to create a binary in the field."

Being a woman practicing in the fields of architecture, engineering, construction and the like is already a triumph in itself — let alone leading the design and construction of a built project. To honor this, the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation just launched Built By Women NYC, a project that highlights 100 outstanding buildings or built environments — historic or contemporary — located in New York City that were built/designed/constructed by women.

Until October 31, BxW NYC is accepting nominations of women who were directly responsible for leading the design (architecture, engineering, or landscape) or led the construction (either from the development or construction management team) for the structure or built environment. Projects must be completed or have broken ground and located in New York City.

Anyone of any gender is welcome to make a nomination! Women can also nominate themselves.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Forgive my ignorance but what is a module and where is it located on the vehicle. I have been qouted £90 for a diognostic check and then £90 per hour labour plus parts to rectify the problem . I have had no previous problems with the liftgate and it occurred after the wife closed the lid after loading shopping . As you stated its not easy to get to the interior but there is what appears to be an inspection plug at the location of the lock prehaps some dw40 might help its just so darn difficult to get to .
Thank you for your swift reply They say that trouble comes in threes well i'm also experiencing trouble with the drivers window which lowers very slowly ( if at all ) and the passenger electric mirror which when operated from the mirror switch doesent lock halfway but goes to its full extent .do.you think the problems are related ?.
These problems would be separate from the liftgate issue. the window problem is most likely a weak window motor, the mirror problem is going to be the mirror or the switch itself.

FLOOD defences in the Vale of Clwyd should continue to be a top priority according to local politicians.
Speaking following a visit to the constituency by Welsh MEP Derek Vaughan, Chris Ruane MP and Ann Jones AM re-ititerated their resolve to get flood defences in the area up to scratch as soon as possible.
Mr Vaughan was invited to visit the area following flooding in Rhyl in December and St Asaph and Rhuddlan in November 2012.
"It is important that the issue of flood defences is kept on the agenda and Ann Jones and I are both doing our bit in Westminster and at the Welsh Assembly to ensure this remains the case," said Mr Ruane.
"Derek was invited so that he could look from a European perspective over what help might be available to improve flood defences in the area."
Ann Jones AM added: "I am continuing to keep the pressure up at the Assembly for local flood defences to be improved as soon as possible.
"But this needs input from all agencies and representatives including the EU and Denbighshire County Council which is why Chris and I were keen for Derek to see the damage which had taken place locally.
"The Minister's full review into what needs to happen has just begun and I look forward to seeing how this recommends improving protection for the whole of the Vale of Clwyd."
Current estimates for immediate emergency repairs to flood defence infrastructure from local authorities across Wales have reached £2 million.
The minister, Alun Davies, is awaiting more comprehensive reports from Natural Resources Wales to inform further funding needs including medium to long term funding requirements.
Support packages are available for businesses affected by the recent floods and storms. Advice and support is available through the Business Wales website and helpline.
