I'll always remember Nick Nolte's character in Rich Man Poor Man coming upon his son after Wesley had damaged his father's boat while trying to impress some girls.
The kid was scared to death he was going to get a whooping. Tom flashed to his dad (Ed Asner) smacking him around.
You saw Tom choose a different path, telling his son it was okay and that he'd show him how to handle the boat. They walked off, Tom's around his son.
It showed me that no matter how fucked up your childhood is you can still make another choice.
The past does not have to repeat.

Where it comes to made-for-TV movies, I had two all-time favorites, both with similar themes: "The Girl Most Likely To ..." with Stockard Channing (written by Joan Rivers) and "The Spell," about a teenage girl who uses her powers to get back at those who torment her (Helen Hunt was her younger sister), finally having to be stopped by her mother (played by Lee Grant) when she goes too far. In the final confrontation when she attempts to take out the mother by using her powers on her, the mother responds with even stronger force, causing the girl to recoil in utter shock:
GIRL: "You can't do this to me! I've got the power!"
MOTHER: "Where do you think you got the power from?"
Fucking LOVED that shit.

R25, I'm not sure about made-for-TV movies but from what I've heard/read, (a) thanks to all the choices offered by cable and the Internet, the networks no longer feel there's an audience for the big, sprawling, multi-night miniseries like there used to be and therefore have no desire to spend the massive amounts of money it would take to produce one; and (b) they are unwilling to preempt popular regular programming now like they were back then (i.e., NBC would've never even considered knocking "Friends" off for a week just to get a lesser rating for an installment of some long, drawn-out miniseries).
Anyway, this is what I've read but someone in the TV business could probably explain it better.

You can't be serious. First, they no longer have long seasons of TV series. They've been reduced to half-seasons but they pretend they're giving you a full season. Futher, the half-season is 1/4 re-runs. They preempt for ballgames, Olympics, holiday programs, fund-raising for earthquakes, fund-raising for tsunamis, fund-raising for hurricanes, and whatever else they can think of that will extend their "season".

"The Vicar of Dibley"??? That was a sitcom that aired from 1994-2007, a new run of episodes churned out every time Dawn French needed a new p[air of shoes.
And "The House of Eliott" was just a serial, written to order as each season was renewed, no more a mini-series than "Upstairs, Downstairs."
There's argument about what exactly makes for a mini-series (see link), but at the least it's a narrative, usually from a literary source, intended to be played out in a fixed number of episodes.
I'd add "Our Friends in the North" and "The Crow Road."

You are very correct. In addition to Finny (who was quite frankly born to play Sir Winston) and Vanessa as Clemmie, there are a number of named British actors playing supporting roles.
Tom Wilkinson play Sir Robbert Vansittart, who was Chamberlain's right-hand man and Undersecretary for State,
Derek Jacobi was Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister who preceded Chamberlain.
Linus Roache was Ralph Wigram, a functionary in the Foreign Office who sneaked intelligence to Churchill, which sadly evenutally drove him to suicide.
Jim Broadbent played Desmont Morton, who, like Wigram, passed intelligence about German rearmament to Churchill. which earned him an knighthood at the end of the war.
There was a sequel a few years ago that HBO did called "Into the Storm" that wasn't nearly as good.
Churchill had some lines that by Finney's delivery alone help you understand immediately why the Allies one:
[Addressing his staff at his country home, Chartwell, he assure them that Mrs. Churchill will make sure they're found good jobs elsewher}:
Now that I'm in charge of the Navy, Mr. Hitler and his Nazi thugs had better watch out, for we'll teach them a lesson they'll never forget!"
[Later, upon his arrival at the Admiralty (eg, Department of the Navy in American Parlance) Churchill: I'm the new first Lord.
MP: We know, sir.
Churchill: How do you know?
MP: A signal was sent to the fleet.
Churchill: What signal?
MP: Winston is back.
Churchill: And so he bloody well is!

Thought of another one.
Mach when USA used to show TV movies instead of L&O repeats they aired "Psycho IV" which apart from Hitchcock's original is one of the most frightening movies I've ever seen. The MaGuffin is that a radio host, played by CCH Pounder is hosting a call-in show about serial killers, during which Normal details in extraordinary detail the abuse suffered at the hands of his mother, played with delicious sadism by Olivia Hussey. The cuts back the Pounder in the present day, not entirely convinced that Normal is lying for attention,and the movie ends with Normal picking up a knife, although it's left vague as to whether or not he's going to kill his wife and daughter or just help the daughter celebrate her birthday.
Pounder, Hussey, and Perkins give great performances, but it's really young Henry "ET" Cavil that steals the show.

I thought Leslie Uggams was ridiculous as Kizzy. When she first appears in Roots she's supposed to be around 16 years old...and she looked at least thirty!
Sandy Duncan was totally miscast. She was simply not plausible as a selfish, spoiled antebellum girl.
The character of "Missy Anne" was embellished to make her seem more awful than she actually was. In the book, she and Kizzy are best friends growing up; she even teaches Kizzy to read. But when she gets old enough to seek the attention of "young massas" she changes. She has a big party and Kizzy is one of the attending servants, which she expected. But she didn't expect to be completely ignored; Anne treats her former childhood playmate as if she were never anything more than an underling and Kizzy is heartbroken. Anne, in effect, has grown up and with her maturity comes the realization that white people do NOT have black friends. But in the book there is no scene where Anne watches from a window and makes a nasty comment as Kizzy is torn away, screaming, from her family and sold off. And there is no scene in the book where Kizzy comes in contact with the ancient Missy Anne, (who doesn't remember her at all) and takes revenge on her by spitting in the cup of water she offers to the feeble old woman.

I like The Stand, and I really, really liked ABC adaptation of The Shining, but as good as The Stand is, it doesn't hold a candle to the book.
King has been collaborating with openly-gay comic writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa on a multipart adaptation of The Stand in comics form, and, for my money, it's about 100X more faithful to the book than the miniseries did. They're released in five-part miniseries, Captain Trips (about the spreading of the plague), American Nightmares (the survivors are faced with a second round of deaths, suicide and murder, which is much more terrible than the plague), Soul Survivors (the survivors head toward Nebraska or Las Vegas, depending on their dispositions), and the newest, which started this week, Hardcases, the first issue which involves Trashcan Man's cross-country trip with the psychotic Kid.

Anyone remember "Celebrity"? That was a miniseries starring Joseph or Timothy Bottoms back in the 80's. I've been trying to get my hands on it to watch it again.

Roots was and is amazing. It ran with a parental advisory for the first few nights so my parents wouldn't let me watch, but I sneaked peaks. By the third episode or so, I was allowed and completely engrossed. For my ninth birthday, I asked for the novel. My grandmother was baffled, but my mother shrugged and said, "It's the only thing he wanted."
A few years later they ran it in the late afternoon on a channel in a nearby town. We had to fiddle with the antenna to get anything resembling a signal, but it was completely worth it.

Richard Loncraine, director of "The Gathering Storm" delights in telling how Sir Winston's surviving child, Lady Mary Soames, visited the set and met Albert Finney, and Loncraine asked her how she felt about seeing an actor representing her father: "Darling," she replied. "I've seen all the imitators."
Then, to show her Finney in character, Loncraine had her view some footage.
"I went back to the screening room," he recalls, "just as they were finishing showing her 15 minutes of reels. As the lights went up, I saw tears in her eyes. She looked at me and said, 'It's my Papa, my Papa'."

I'm glad you liked it. There are plenty of things about Churchill that I dislike (namely, his abject racism about India), but I find the dichotomy of his absolute certainty about his actions in public and then the crippling depression he struggled with in private (as well as the fact that he seemed utterly lost without Clemmie) to be absolutely fascinating, and truth to tell, I actually find his bull-headed determination in the face of ridicule to be admirable.
Finney never attends award shows, but anyone with a brain would have known he was going to win an Emmy that year.

Some of those classic old BBC miniseries should be remade with better production values.

Keep the well-written content, give us better visuals? Just my opinion.

It's fun to remember some of the miniseries (and TV movies) listed here that I previously enjoyed but have forgotten about since they don't get rerun anymore.
There are several named that I was a fan of so I won't list them again.
One that I didn't see mentioned (I might have overlooked it though) and really would like to see again is "The Martian Chronicles" with Rock Hudson, Nicholas Hammond, and Roddy McDowell.
It's probably not good, but to a kid who loved sci-fi, it was the shit - at least until a few years later when "V" came along and replaced it as the best sci-fi miniseries.

"Rich Man, Poor Man" launched the careers of Nick Nolte (who became a major motion picture star) and Peter Strauss (who became a major television movie and miniseries star.) The rest of the cast was quite remarkable and included newcomers and some oldies. It didn't help Susan Blakely, who should have become a bigger star than she did from this work.
Reading the novel after seeing the series was quite confusing because the miniseries combined the three major women's roles into one played by Blakely.
Ed Asner was great as the abusive father and Dorothy Maguire as Mom. I liked bearish Tim McIntire and waifish Kay Lenz.

"Wild Palms"--VERY bleak and WAY ahead of its time and featured standout performances by Dana Delaney, Nick Mancuso, Angie Dickinson and Robert Loggia.

My parents have always talked about Edward and Mrs. Simpson, a late 70s/early 80s BBC/Masterpiece Theatre treatment of the Wallis and Edward affair. Unfortunately, only about half of it seems to be on YouTube last time I checked, but what's there is an enjoyably silly account of their early courtship (with a great theme song that turns "God Save the King" into a 30s jazz band tune - perfect for playboy Eddie). Edward Fox is Edward, Cynthia Harris a (somewhat stiff) Wallis, and Peggy Ashcroft is Queen Mary.
Apparently, the miniseries (and/or the book it was based on) was shocking back in the day for being the first serious expose of how bad Edward's Nazi favoritism would have been for England if he had stayed on the throne, but you won't get that from what's on YouTube. Will have to see if the whole thing is on DVD one of these days.

Stephen King's "The Stand" scared me shitless and made me paranoid everytime I coughed or sneezed.

They could only get away with so much on network television back in the early 90s because of censorship, so the new "Stand" will be a lot more faithful to King's story.

I would define a miniseries as:
-Considerably longer than a standard made for TV film; made with the intention of being shown as a "special event" over more than one night.
-Tells a complete story within a limited number of episodes, usually no more than two or three but definitely shorter than a normal season of a regular TV series.
-Usually there are no sequels, but if there are they will be treated as separate films or miniseries of their own with a complete story to tell that is separate from the original miniseries.

For pure melodrama "Lace", "The Thorn Birds", and "Little Gloria, Happy At Last."
"Lace" is just pure trash. From start to finish it is pure trash. "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" Does Phoebe Cates' character give a shit one way or the other? You don't know because her acting is soo horrible in the t.v. movie that there is just no way to tell.
"The Thorn Birds" is epic melodrama with surprisingly good cinematography and scenery. It has everything. The little girl who has an innocent crush of sorts on her Priest and grows up to have his child. The Priest is in torment (reflects Richard Chamberlain's issues about the era he is from and that affecting his being a gay man, he wrote a book on it) over his love but the Priest and the gal have a child who winds up dying when he is a grown man. And, melodrama for days blah blah blah, rent it now for a goofy evening in.
"Little Gloria, Happy At Last" You have a dead ringer for a child size version of Beverly Sills playing little Gloria amongst all these beautiful women, handsome men, great costuming, and set design. The little girl cannot act at all and yet is in scads of scenes! Her lines readings and reaction shots are epic in their horribleness, most especially in the scene where her nanny is fired and winds up testifying in court.

I am not 100% sure he is on the spectrum, but his speech is delayed (can use 2 to 3 word sentences spontaneously, and expresses his needs very well, but has a hard time with functional language) although he loves the park, swimming, books and colouring, he doesn't play with toys by himself properly. H is very social with his family but not his peers, his eye contact is only so so,, and he is very
he has been so bad lately!
He bangs on stuff hard like he is drumming (sometimes on me!) constantly goes through drawers, unplugs stuff, tries to remove vents, takes doorknobs off closets, climbs stuff, chases the cat, throws crayons down the vents, screams, yells, demands, freaks out and cries whenever he doesn't get his way. He doesnt full on tantrum, just cries and stomps. It passes quickly. Unless I or his dad are fully engaging him in something, like bubbles, or going to the park, or swimming, colouring, he is a reckless crazy hyper kid to the extreme. It's constant. Im looking for advice! He isn't violent or aggressive, jut hyper!
I have no idea if this is due to his delays or he is just a bratty defiant 3 year old and I was wondering if some of the ASD moms could weigh in discipline approaches. Or anyone?
Since I don't personally know your child I can't say this for sure but the behaviors you described seem like an average 3 yo's. His speech does seem delayed though, I agree with you there. Hope you get some insight and understanding with the appointment you have set up!
Me: Sarah, married to: J, mommy to: C (8/10) and E (11/12)
The stuff you describe sounds pretty typical for a 3 year old boy. They are active and yes, they can drive you crazy. :-)
But they are never "defiant and bratty". A child acting that way needs something, has no idea what that is or how to get it, and is acting on autopilot.
If your child was on the spectrum or had sensory issues, for example (and, other than the speech delay, nothing else you described suggests that) it could be, for example, that he needs noise to feel calm (banging on things, knocking things over). He may be sensory seeking. He may have a need to "fidget" to self-soothe. Or he may just need you and hasn't figured out a better way to get your attention.
Tantrums are a normal part of development. Frustration SUCKS. Some adults don't deal well with it, so imagine how hard it is for your son: he can't identify what is going on with his body (think about how your body feels when you get angry or frustrated - now imagine how upsetting that would be if you didn't know what "emotions" were and could not figure out why your body was feeling that way). he doesn't understand the cause of his body feeling this way and he certainly has no idea how to fix it. And of course if he is tired or hungry it makes it worse (ever notice how little things can set us adults off when we are overtired?). Tantrums are when your child needs you the most.
And hugs to you: 3 can be a tough age. :)

PATIENT footballers at South Newton & Wishford FC have been rewarded with first prize in a nationwide competition after losing many home matches to torrential rain.
The under 13s, soon to be under 14s, were unable to play for about four months as their Stoford Recreation Ground was underwater.
But, after entering The Pitch to Win competition, which recognises the worst amateur football pitch in the UK, they scooped first prize.
At a presentation evening on Wednesday night, the winning team received a cheque for £3,000 towards a pitch makeover and a brand new kit which competition organiser Briggs and Stratton will sponsor.
"Everyone in the team was delighted when they found they had won, they were so proud their efforts had gone so far," said assistant coach Paul Russell, whose team were forced to train inside during the wet weather.
"We never thought we could win as hundreds of clubs entered."
Mr Russell's son Harry, who plays for the under 13s, entered his team in the competition after seeing it advertised in a popular football magazine.
They entered and submitted a picture of the team in a flood proof kit – players dressed in diving gear and holding surfboards.
Now, the financial boost will allow them to continue the "big plans" it has for next season.
Mr Russell added: "We made a fantastic start to the season but after missing so many games to the weather, it petered out."
"We want to make the most of this money now and start planning for the 2014/15 season. We've got big plans ahead."
Sales and marketing manager at Briggs and Stratton Ian Small said: "Amateur football can be the heart of a community, and South Newton and Wishford really reminded us of that. They've had such a tough season because of their pitch so it's great to be able to help them out. They really are very deserving and I hope the pitch makeover helps them be victorious in the future."
Two runner-up teams were also chosen, who will each win £500 for the club kitty as well as a season's sponsorship and a brand new kit.
South Newton are looking for more players and anyone interested in playing should visit southnewtonfc.co.uk.

Yahoo recently announced they would fire their CEO four months into his tenure after it was revealed that his resume had some "inconsistencies" with his academic credentials. If you haven't read the stories, his bio at Yahoo lists his undergrad degrees as Accounting and Computer Science, but he only has an Accounting degree.
There are a few varying stories regarding whether or not Scott Thompson submitted a falsified resume to Yahoo. He says he didn't even submit a resume, and his interview and subsequent hiring were based on his body of work and his background (he was the former President of PayPal and has served as director at several other companies, so he has extensive leadership experience). But CNN reported that Yahoo's annual report filed with the SEC falsely listed the Computer Science degree – and this is a problem because the CEO is required to personally sign the document and attest to its truthfulness.
Regardless of whether or not Thompson submitted the false resume, his official bio contained false information – and that lead to his dismissal as CEO. (To be fair – there is a lot going on behind the scenes here, as the investigation was prompted by some minority shareholders who wanted representation on the board). But the fact remains, that Thompson likely would have gotten the job without the false information in his resume or bio, and there probably wouldn't have been any reason to fire him 4 months into his tenure.
Resume Fraud Can Cost You a Job – and More
Scot Thompson lost his job – and his severance (Thompson was, however, able to keep $7 million worth of signing bonuses and stock grants – not bad for 4 months work).
I'm sure Scott Thompson will land on his feet. He has an extensive leadership background and continues to serve in other leadership capacities. In the grand scheme of things, this likely won't prevent him from finding another job. It does however, create some long term problems with credibility. Many corporations and boards place a high value on ethics, and being caught in a fraudulent scandal will automatically cross him off the list at some companies. So he will likely find work, but not as easily as he may have otherwise done it without this hanging over his head.
It's not just high ranking people who falsify their resumes and bios. The same thing can happen to you if you submit a fraudulent resume for a job application. Most companies and hiring managers do some sort of background check when they hire employees. It may be as basic as a criminal background check, or, for higher level positions, it can be as deep as a full background check, including verifying your resume and educational background.
The safe thing – both professionally and morally – is to always be truthful when writing your resume. The last thing you want is to be hired, only to be fired shortly afterward for a fraudulent resume. You would not only lose the job you just got, but potentially lose out on other positions, either those which you declined interviews for after you got hired at your new job, or from other companies which would decline to even interview you if they got wind of your lack of ethics when you applied to your former position. And don't dismiss the last possibility – some industries are very tight and many of them have contacts at other companies. I've worked in some of those industries where news travels very quickly and it is easy to see your professional stock rise or drop very quickly.
Falsifying your resume is just not worth damaging your personal or professional reputation.

I wasn't initially going to do a top ten list this year. It seems like indulgent ego stroking, a lot of work for very little gain, and, to be honest, not only am I super busy, I'm also a lazy sack of crap. Besides, while there may be one or two movies on my countdown that you won't find on 90% of every other critic's list, there aren't many earth-shattering surprises. But I'm bored at work, and I have to arrange my favorite movies into some semblance of order to vote on them later anyway, so what the hell, I might as well write about them, too, while I'm at it.
This has been a tough list to make. 2013 has been a strong year across the board, from big blockbusters to indie fare and niche genre stuff. You might notice one title that has a very good chance of walking away with the best picture Oscar doesn't have a home here. Overall, there was a woeful lack of quality animated movies this year. "Frozen" is easily the best, but it is only good, not great like some have claimed, and I seriously doubt we'll be talking about it much a year or two from now.
Also, as usual, I'm also totally cheating with this list. You may notice that there are multiple number 10s. It isn't that I can't count—I can totally count to ten most days—but I got to the point where if I'd removed any one film, my list wouldn't have been complete. There were movies that came close, but there is significant distance between the films I included and everything else.

The arts community in Columbia doesn't have a base. Artists, musicians and other creatives are disconnected, spread across the city with no leaders to unite them, Columbia Mayor Dean Dickey said.
The arts community in Columbia doesn�t have a base. Artists, musicians and other creatives are disconnected, spread across the city with no leaders to unite them, Columbia Mayor Dean Dickey said.
That�s why the Columbia City Council is considering creating an arts commission, a board that would help artists in the city come together and bring more to the area, Dickey said Thursday following a council meeting.
Council members discussed the commission at their strategic planning session earlier this year and will vote Sept. 12 to appoint a five-member steering committee to form the board.
The steering committee was suggested at a public meeting held in August to discuss the arts commission.
�It�s very evident that Columbia is very blessed with arts-minded people,� council member Mark King said about the August meeting.
On Thursday, council members approved allowing Dickey to nominate the five steering committee members, who will then create a charter providing regulations for the board.
Council members questioned if the five members would then receive seats on the arts commission � which could include 11 to 15 members � but Dickey said he thinks the people he plans to nominate do not want to remain as members.
City officials do not have many details on how the board will work, since the charter has not yet been discussed, but they plan to base the regulations on those of similar commissions in Tullahoma and other nearby cities. Council members will also be able to make suggestions for how the board runs, Dickey said.
However, the mayor said he does not want the council controlling the arts commission or making too many decisions for the board.
�That board and that chairman needs to make those decisions and report back to us,� he said.
Dickey expects the arts commission charter to be finished by the end of the year, after which the new board will likely hold a public meeting to hear responses from the community.

The first nine months of 2013 were profitable for the biggest Kansas banks operating in Wichita.
But for roughly two-thirds of them, the first three quarters weren't as profitable as the year before.
According to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. released Tuesday, seven of the 10 largest banks based in Kansas and operating in the Wichita area saw slimmer profits in the nine-month period ended Sept. 30.
Those seven banks – Emprise, Capitol Federal, Southwest National, Legacy, Rose Hill, First Bank Newton and Midland National – saw profits decline between 3 percent and 42 percent between the first nine months of 2012 and 2013, according to the FDIC.
They wrestled with continued tight net interest margins. Some were also dealing with declines in non-interest income or from interest earned on their investment portfolios. And others were setting aside more money for potentially bad loans.
Nationally, the FDIC said on Tuesday that half of the 6,891 banks and thrifts it insures reported year-over-year growth in earnings, while half reported declines.
At the same time, three area banks – Intrust, Fidelity and Equity – saw an increase in profits over the period, though the reasons for those gains were as varied as it was for their less profitable peers.
Intrust, the largest bank based in Wichita, increased its net income 7.3 percent over the period to $29.7 million, according to the FDIC data. Lyndon Wells, Intrust's division director of public affairs, attributed the increase largely to the bank setting aside less money for what could turn out to be problem loans.
"We are a reflection of the success of our customers," Wells said. "In this case, we've returned to a more stable environment than we had last year."
At Fidelity Bank, the gain in net income from last year was meteoric. But that's because in the first nine months of 2012 it recorded a $1.1 million loss.
"That's all related to the fact that in the first quarter of 2012, we elected to sell $70 million of under-performing securities, and we took a loss associated with that," said Fidelity president John Laisle. "Our earnings (this year) have been running pretty strong."
Laisle said Fidelity's $11.4 million in net income in the first nine months of 2013 reflect a combination of the absence of those under-performing securities as well as year-over-year gains in commercial and consumer loans and mortgage originations.
"Not only has our loan base expanded, but our loan loss provision has been mitigated (in 2013)." he said. Laisle said Fidelity expects to end the year with $14 to $15 million in earnings.
Brad Elliott, chairman and CEO of Equity Bank, said his $1.02 billion bank's 128 percent increase in 2013 earnings were helped by its acquisition last summer of Lee's Summit, Mo.-based First Community Bank.
Since last year, the bank also has improved its efficiency and expenses, and increased loan volume, he said.
"As the economy has gotten better so has the operations of the bank," Elliott said.
Tom Page agrees that the economy has improved. But it hasn't improved enough to convince the Fed to end its bond-buying stimulus and allow the Fed Funds Rate, which is at nearly zero, move higher. Nor has an improved economy convinced enough borrowers to take out loans at a pace seen in past recoveries, he said.
"It's better, certainly than it was," Page, CEO of Emprise Bank, said of the economy and loan demand. But demand for new loans is not at a level that "lets everyone significantly expand the level of their loan portfolio."
Higher loan demand, a higher Fed Funds Rate and the end of bond-buying would take away a lot of that pressure on banks' net interest margin.
"Net interest margins continue to shrink, and people have lowered their costs down as far as you can go," Page said.
Those tight margins and an increase in loan loss provisions pushed Emprise's profitability down nearly 7 percent between 2012 and 2013.
The FDIC said the national average net interest margin – the difference between the average yield banks earn on loans and other investments and the average cost of funding those investments – was 3.26 percent as of Sept. 30, down from 3.42 percent in the same period a year ago.
Roger Kepley, president of Rose Hill Bank, doesn't see any quick relief.
"Margin has become more compressed and will probably stay that way until there's a higher interest rate environment, which is probably a year, two years away," Kepley said.
Rose Hill Bank, which has $249.4 million in assets, saw its net income decline nearly 14 percent between the first nine months of 2012 and the first nine months of 2013, according to the FDIC. It had net income of $1.6 million as of Sept. 30.
"We don't anticipate that earnings will substantially improve until we return to a more normalized interest rate (environment)," Kepley said.

The 'Incredible Egg Man' himself, renowned New York chef Howard Helmer, was in Dublin this week to support the campaign.
New York chef Helmer is the world's fastest omelette maker, holding two Guinness World Records for his spellbinding high-speed cookery.
A lover of all things egg related, Howard can cook up a whopping 427 omelettes in just 30 minutes! In 2006, he became the world's fastest omelette flipper (the omelette staying intact throughout 32 flips in a minute), as well as making the fastest single omelette from eggshell to plate (49 seconds).
Speaking about his first trip to Ireland to promote eggs on behalf of Bord Bia, Howard commented, "Talk about culinary art...an omelette is a blank canvas that can be painted however you like: with all manner of vegetables, protein foods, sweets, savouries, everything nutritious. How versatile is that?"

French president François Hollande on Monday afternoon met Lakhdar Brahimi , the new international mediator for Syria. The French leader declared that "there can be no political solution without the departure of Bashar al-Assad". He also "reiterated the commitment (of France) for a free and democratic Syria who would be respectful of the rights of each of its sects," added France's president.
Meanwhile, the German opposition is horrified about a possible German spy ship off the coast of Syria. The German "Oker" ship has been cruising in the eastern Mediterranean, the Bild am Sonntag newspaper had reported. The intelligence gathered by the ship against Assad's regime is passed on to U.S. and British services. They in turn could make the information available to the Syrian rebels. A spokesman for the German Ministry of Defense confirmed on Monday that the "Oker" is in the eastern Mediterranean.
Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said when asked whether the data collected by the German navy would be passed: "In general I think it is normal that knowledge can be shared with NATO partners." Moreover, according to Seibert, the Federal Government would report in this case only to the Parliamentary Control Committee (PKG).
Member of Parliament Christian Ströbele stated he is now considering the to call for a prompt PKG meeting. Ströbele who represents in the committee the Green Party, told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung: "The Federal Intelligence Service (BND) is to gather information for the federal government and should not intervene in a civil war."
The head of the Left Party, Bernd Riexinger said that Germany should not be drawn into a civil war.

This shot is great man. I like how you used the non-traditional Elite as your subject. Nice job.
This is amazing! The lighting is amazing and the fact that the Elite has no weapon is awesome looking! A definite 10/10!

FORMER flat jockey Claire Bryan from Cradley, near Malvern, has really got the whip hand when it comes to business.
Her alternative leatherwear online company Kinky Monkey has been highly commended in a career development award by the Jockeys Employment and Training Scheme.
The JETS awards reward jockeys for their initiative, effort and forethought in developing a career after race riding.
Miss Bryan reached the shortlist for The Griffins Richard Davis Achievement Award, worth £3,000, which goes to the jockey (or former jockey) judged to have achieved the most in developing a second career over the past year.
Now 33, Miss Bryan rode more than 30 winners as an amateur, then apprentice, flat jockey between 1997 and 2003 and eventually, in the face of fewer opportunities, retired from race riding.
She moved on to take saddler, book keeping and accountancy qualifications, with the help of JETS training grants and advice, and now runs her business.
She said: "I had initially worked on making dog collars and lead reins and making saddler repairs but then a friend asked me to make a pair of wrist cuffs and things went from there.
This year, at Kinky Monkey, we've been focusing on conquering the trade market and have exhibited, with great success, at the ETO adult industry trade show at the NEC and its counterpart in Europe, Venus-Berlin."
Early retirement is inevitable for jockeys and the injury risk is high: National Hunt jockeys are 30 on average when their careers end, and flat jockeys are not far behind at 33.
Statistics show that, on average, jump jockeys experience a fall every 16 rides and, with horses travelling at speeds of more than 30mph, flat falls can be equally serious.
This was the 17th year of The Griffins Richard Davis Awards, the annual career development honours established by The Jockeys Employment and Training Scheme in memory of the late Richard Davis, who had started planning for his future before his fatal race fall in 1996.
