So here's the deal.
As Muscati suggested, The Washing machine was Delivered by the supplier, in this case Al Gurg LLC also known as Better Life appliances. I spoke to Al Gurg directly and thier handling of everything was superb. They oppologised, they fixed the situation right that minute, and they called back and told me what they had done about it and how they would prevent it in the future.
the explination: Ordinarily, the supplier usues two big trucks to make thier deliveries around Muscat, however the drivers for these trucks had not returned to work since the storm. Because Indians and Pakistnis are not allowed to drive trucks of that size, the trucks were garaged and the company hired a few ittinerrant workers with pickups to assist with deliveries. It was these ittinerrant workers who gave me all the hassle. not Emax employees, not Al Gurg employees
Landmark and Al Gurg say they have never had a complaint of this nature in the history of thier business operations here. I belive that, in part because in my entire life I've only had one other similar experience.
My mother always says that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and that no good deed goes unpunished. This is sort of the case here, where a law abiding couple of companies are trying to find ways to meet customer demand.
There are a couple of learnings here for both companies.
the mistake: One mistake here was to take two random workers and send them off into the homes of customers without any sort of training or knowlege of what kind of people they were
Solution: In the future, Al Gurg and all of Emax's other suppliers will not use untrusted or unproven workers for those sort of tasks. Emax and thier suppliers will try to communicate better regading what is an acheivable timeline for delivery, preventing Emax from making promises that the suppliers can't possibly fulfill.
the Mistake: The second mistake (and the one the pissed me off the most) was the lack of a response from Emax when I made the initial complaint. The complaint apparently stayed with the person I spoke to and maybe her manager. It never worked it's way up the food chain to higher management, and if middle management heard about it, they clearly were not concerned enough to call me back and tell me what they planed to do about it.
Solution: The empolyee who took my call has been coached, and management is developing some better guidelines for employees. Upper management is also looking into why the complaints that Emax receives don't make it up to them. Again, better communication between the employees, management, and the head office. This may entail a shift in the culture of the store so employees are rewarded for solving problems and for bringing them to the attention of management.
the mistake: the employee who sold me the washer got high marks for enthusisam but low marks for product knowlege, almost convincong me to buy a washer that didn't actually have the features I asked about.
solution: the guy had only been with the company 18 days and was still a "trainee". They are looking at thier training procedures, and how to make the issues relevent to a consumer more relevant to the sales staff. like, why it's inportant to know if a washer heats water by itself or if it needs a seperate hot water inlet. if the salesman is a bachelor who ususally washes his clothes in a simple cool-water washer, it's hard to relate to my need for a washer with an internal heater.
the problem: the highest levels of management were genuinely astounded to come here and read so much bad feedback from the public. I don't think they had any idea that customers were so unhappy with the customer service at emax. Because the complaints were never getting up to them.
the solution: If you guys have a problem with Emax customer service in the future, and you first try to solve it through the staff and management in store, then call Vineet or one of his deputies at the head office and let them know about your experience. I publish below an email from the head office to you guys, who shared your feedback in the comments section of the original post.
Vineet is on leave for the next couple of weeks, in the interimn you can contact his deputy M u r t u z a Z a k i-Store ManagerEmax +968 95756078

Choosing the Response Date
Set your response date 2-4 weeks before the wedding date. We recommend closer to 4 weeks to give yourself plenty of time to tally a final guest count for your caterer. Give yourself at least a week between your RSVP date and the date your caterer needs a guest count because you will need to check in with anyone who hasn't responded.
Here are a few other things to consider when choosing a reply date for your response cards.
B-List Strategy
Chances are you're trying to keep wedding costs down, and the best way to do this is to limit your guest list. Of course, you probably have more people you'd like to invite than room on your guest list, hence the B-List strategy. We don't recommend this strategy because it usually requires more effort than it's worth but if you're going to use it, here's how:
Send your wedding invitations 4+ weeks in advance. When you receive a decline (within 1-2 weeks of sending the initial batch of invites), send an invitation to someone on your B List, making sure those guests receive the invite at least one week before the RSVP date. Make sure you order extra invitations to do so, and watch your guest count closely! You don't want to invite more guests than your venue or budget will allow.
Destination and Holiday Weddings
Destination wedding invitations and invitations to weddings over a holiday should be sent 12 weeks before the wedding date. We recommend setting your response date for six weeks before the wedding date. This gives guests six weeks to do some necessary planning, and it gives you plenty of time to prepare.

Youth Summit Inspires Participants for Years
A testimonial from Anish (Far right in both photos):
"When I first participated in the Atlanta Community Food Bank Youth Leadership Summit in 2010, I enjoyed packaging food for families in the Product Rescue Center and beautifying the Community Gardens. Little did I know, however, that the lessons I learned here would shape the way in which I viewed service in my future service endeavors.
One of the most important things I learned is the role education plays in service. During the summit, I was part of a hunger simulation, where all of the participants role-played as community members struggling to support our fictional families. My eyes opened to the social stratification all around us, and I realized one needs to better understand a community to advocate for its needs.
With this in mind, I was excited to be selected as Volunteer UGA's Education Director. In the same Food Bank spirit of promoting advocacy, I organized a weekend leadership retreat for students from 35 student service organizations, bringing in non-profit leaders from the Athens area to speak about how they achieved success in their organizations and promoting thoughtful discussion of how we can best address the needs of the local community. Other initiatives I have been a part of at UGA include leading a spring break service trip as an IMPACT site leader to Bluefield, WV to raise ageism awareness and volunteering in a MEDLIFE mobile clinic in Ecuador to develop local infrastructure and improve healthcare quality.
Returning to the Food Bank Reunion this past June, I was strongly reminded of all the reasons why I love serving others. When I attend medical school at UT Southwestern this fall, I will never forget the lessons about compassion and dedication to service that I learned through the Atlanta Community Food Bank and hope to carry them with me always."
Quotes from some other Youth Summit participants:
"It was a place to be completely out of your comfort zone and a place to make a positive impact in local communities. It was the highlight of my summer, and it will be for anybody who signs up next year." — Demetriyana
"Something that really stuck out to me was the fact that eating healthy is sometimes difficult on a small budget. I am fortunate to have access to healthy options daily, but many people in my community are not." — Sarah
"Seeing how the the Food Bank works was really enlightening and I was so surprised to see that people in my community were in such need." — Neha
Do you know a metro area high school student who's looking for a meaningful experience this summer? Make sure you tell them about the 10th annual Youth Summit, happening July 11-15! All applications are due April 15th. Applications are available online today!

Taiwan financial regulators tighten oversight on forex derivatives
[TAIPEI] Taiwan's central bank said Thursday it will require complex, high-risk forex derivative instruments to go through regulatory approval before allowing banks to sell such products to consumers.
The move comes after local banks earlier this year were hurt by customer defaults on yuan derivatives.
Under draft revisions issued on the website of Taiwan's central bank Thursday, "new types of complex, high-risk forex derivative financial products" will need regulatory approval before they can be sold.
Currently, some financial products can be sold by banks to their customers without much regulatory oversight.
Earlier this year, yuan-related derivatives called target redemption forwards (TRF), which allow investors to bet on the direction of the yuan, fell into the red when China unexpectedly allowed the yuan to depreciate.
TRFs pay the holder a monthly income so long as the yuan remains above a trigger price against the dollar. If the yuan falls, the investor has to pay out.
TRFs had been seen as a sure bet to a steady income as the value of the yuan rose steadily against the dollar. But when it weakened sharply, investors and banks who sold the products were on the hook.
Taiwanese regulators have been tightening oversight on such complex and high-risk financial derivatives after the emergence of TRF losses from 2014, the Financial Supervisory Commission said in a statement on Thursday.
The draft revisions could take effect later this month, after a customary public comment period.

So I decided that I wanted to make a Sudoku creator and solver for fun. My plan is to fill a sudoku board with random, however, compatible answers using brutefruce. I simply check random numbers against the two prerequisite rules for a legitimate Sudoku: a given cell cannot contain the same number as any cell in the same vertical or horizontal axises as itself and a given cell cannot contain the same number as those contained by cells in its respective 3x3.
Later I hope to enumerate the strategies that humans use to solve Sudoku puzzles and apply these hueristics to a solver. Next, I want to remove numbers one by one from the random, bruteforce-created solved sudoku puzzle. I could then verify that the resulting sequence of numbers is solvable using my sudoku puzzle solver. If it is not, a different random number can be removed.
Currently I am curious how to implement the second rule of sudoku above. I currently have a 9x9 multidimensional array, and I want to verify that a given cell in this array is not equal to any of the other cells in its 3x3 square. I was thinking of creating a set of rules for each coordinate using the modulus operator. If I divided by 3, I could use the remainder of each cell in some sort of algorithm. Using modulus would ensure that each number is located in the same place within its respective 3x3 square and thus has the same value. Depending on the value, a certain set of rules would determine which indices to compare a given square to.
I am not too sure how to proceed from here. Any suggestions. My main issue is that I cannot say
if (Board [x%3] != so and so) because each of these indices have values. I would be comparing the values inside the indices with one another, which is not what I want to do. I hope this makes some sense. I'll post my code if this is as confusing as it sounds to me.

In March, 2018, CaseBank Technologies, a Division of ATP, had the opportunity to take part in several initiatives in India, led by the Canada-India Mumbai Business Forum, the Canada India Foundation, and the Canada India Automotive Mission 2018.
During the two-week visit our executives Anand Rao, recently appointed Country Head in India, and Steve Downie, VP International Sales, were excited to identify great interest for SpotLight® diagnostic and troubleshooting solutions, by Indian OEMs, Information Technology companies and System Integrators, in particular, as it supports the government's "Make in India" initiative.
President Modi's "Make in India" initiative encourages collaboration in manufacturing and aftermarket support services, to boost job creation, economic growth, and establish India as a manufacturing force in the Global economy. In that context, Indian OEMs are interested in SpotLight for Service Lifecycle Management solutions (guided diagnostics, reliability and maintenance). System Integrators are interested in CaseBank as it will help them build technical expertise and Centers of Technical Excellence for aftermarket support, and services for complex equipment in aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, and defense industries. Additionally, there was great interest in opportunities for offshore development resources to support CaseBank and ATP product development.
To compete in the global economy, operational availability of equipment is key to success. This understanding is guiding their interest in CaseBank's advanced interactive diagnostic solutions. The success of CaseBank technology in the field is driven by SpotLight's ability to help service technicians, reliability engineers, and call center personnel to quickly isolate the root cause of defects and performance issues. This has an important impact on maintenance speed, quality and cost, improving "first-time-fix" rates and reducing No-Fault-Found parts replacement.
At the Canada-India Business Forum, hosted by the Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce, Steve and Anand had the opportunity to meet with the Honourable Harjit Sajjan, Minister of National Defence, Canada, for a roundtable discussion and working lunch attended by the Indian Heads of Operation for Pratt & Whitney Canada, and Bell Helicopter, as well as representatives of the Government of Canada Trade Commission, on the topic of "Fostering the Canada-India business to business relationship: Exploring ways to promote cooperation in defence procurement". They had an interesting discussion with the Minister on collaborative business and research opportunities for CaseBank at Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), a laboratory of the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), located in Bangalore, as well as meetings with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Tata Motors.
Together, Canada and India have ambitious goals to expand and diversify bilateral commercial ties. The three excellent forums that CaseBank attended and participated in are testimony to this commitment. We are very excited about the success of our mission in India, and about the opportunities of collaboration that these initiatives open to Canadian and Indian corporations.

FIELD:Electrons are both waves and particles? One minute they act like a particle, and the next minute they act like a wave? At the time, no one could really believe any of this was actually true. Something must be wrong, they thought…. So the scientists modified the experiment to "watch" (with a measuring device) a single electron as it went through the double slits to see if it really acted like a wave instead of a particle. However, the moment they observed the electron, an even stranger thing happened. They got a standard "particle" pattern on the screen that looked exactly as if they had fired BB's through the two slits. The simple act of "watching" the electron meant it went back to behaving like a particle instead of a wave, and therefore only went through one slit, not both, and formed a pattern like the BB's. So… the final conclusion is this: In its natural state, an electron is a wave rather than a particle, until it is observed. Then it becomes a particle with a fixed position in space and time. "The electron is very peculiar in the sense that when you're not looking, the electron can be here, can be there, or can be over there…. It can be all over this room, so to speak. But whenever we look – this is the strange thing about this electron – we always find them to be in one particular Geiger counter, although we have a room full of Geiger counters. This is the fundamentally important stuff about the electrons."1 "There is compelling evidence that the only time quanta* ever manifest as particles is when we are looking at them. When an electron isn't being looked at, it is always a wave."2 (*In the early 1900s, scientists had started using the term "quanta" referring to the energy associated with an electron bound to an atom (at rest) which results in the stability of atoms, and of matter in general. FIELD:So the term "quantum mechanics," and now more commonly "quantum physics," has to do with the study of electrons and their energy. "The word "quantum" is also synonymous with "wave/particle," a term that is used to refer to something that possesses both particle and wave qualities."3) Now this was truly radical – an electron is a wave until it is observed, and then it becomes a particle! The ramifications are enormous. It means reality – the physical universe which we have always thought of to be "solid and predictable" – is not "real," not "solid and predictable" at all, because the basic building blocks of that universe are not particles of matter, but waves of possibilities – waves of potential locations where an electron might appear as a particle when it is observed. But who is this "observer?" And how does an observer change the electron from a wave into a particle? The first question is not easy to answer completely at the moment. The "observer" can be a human being looking at something; it can be a machine or a device set up to watch, record, or measure something; it can literally be anything that attempts to "see" something "out there" in the physical universe. But there is another level to the answer which needs more information before it can make sense; so we'll just have to wait. Right now it's worth repeating the inescapable conclusions of the Double Slit experiment: According to quantum physics, the atoms (nucleus and electrons) that make up the physical universe we consider to be so solid and so real only appear to be solid and real when they are being observed. When they are not being observed, they return to a wave state of infinite possible locations. (To watch a short and well-done animated video of how an "observer" affects the Double Slit experiment, from What the Bleep!? – Down the Rabbit Hole, click here.) So now let's talk about how an observer changes an electron from a wave into a particle…. Wait a minute! No one really knows the answer to the question of how – or why – the observer changes an electron from a wave into a particle. The experts can only speculate…. "Particles aren't really what they seem to be. They're momentary manifestations, momentary 'poppings' of this quantum wave function in which there is no particle – there's just this waviness which can spontaneously pop out as particles."4 In other words, when an electron is viewed by an observer, these waves of possibilities "pop" and assume a specific location in space and time, which is what we see as "reality." This is called "collapsing the wave function." "Collapsing the wave function" can be very successfully explained and predicted mathematically, using complex quantum mathematics; but it's very hard to describe in simple English. Basically, it means an electron normally lives in a wave state (a wave function) that includes many possibilities of where it could end up as a particle; and when the electron is observed, those multiple wave states are "collapsed" to one state, the state of being a particle in a specific location. Physicist Nick Herbert says this sometimes causes him to imagine that, behind our back, the world (where we are not looking and cannot observe) is always "a radically ambiguous and ceaselessly flowing quantum soup."5 But whenever we turn around and try to see the soup, our glance instantly freezes it and turns it back into "reality." Herbert believes this makes us all a little like Midas, the legendary king who never knew the feel of silk or the caress of a human hand because everything he touched turned to gold. "Likewise humans can never experience the true texture of quantum reality because everything we touch turns to matter."6 So where are these electrons living as waves of possibilities when no one is observing them and collapsing their wave function into a particle? The answer to that question has gone through a lot of revision over the years, and has been called a lot of things as the research has progressed, including: ~ the "Planck Scale" (by the physicist Max Planck) ~ the "implicate order" (by the physicist David Bohm) ~ the "vacuum state" ~ the "quantum wave function" ~ the "zero point field" ~ the "superstring field" ~ the "M" field ~ the "unified field" Today it is mainly just called "The Field." In her book, The Field, Lynn McTaggert defines it simply as "a field of all possibility."7 Everything you can think of, and everything you can't think of, and everything no one can think of already exists in this Field as waves of possibilities. Dr. John Hagelin explains… "Progress in our understanding of the universe through physics over the past quarter century has been exploring deeper levels of natural law, from the macroscopic to the microscopic, from the molecular to the atomic to the nuclear to the subnuclear levels of nature's functioning…. and what we've discovered at the core basis of the universe, the foundation of the universe, is a single universal field of intelligence…. So all the forces of nature, and all the so-called 'particles' of nature… are now understood to be… just different ripples on a single ocean of existence…. It's called the "unified field," or "superstring field," at the basis of everything – mind and matter…. That field is a non- material field. Planets, trees, people, animals, are all just waves of vibration of this underlying unified superstring field…. It's the fountainhead of all the laws of nature; all the fundamental forces, all the fundamental particles, all the laws governing life at every level of the universe have their unified source in the unified field…. It is pure abstract potential, which rises in waves of vibration to give rise to the particles, to the people, to everything we see in the vast universe…. This isn't the world of electrons; it's the world of potential electrons…. And that's what we're made of."8 …and Dr. Fred Alan Wolf puts it this way… "Physicists give this a name; they call it a 'quantum wave function,' because it seems 'wavy.' However, this wave function isn't just a wave of matter, like an ocean wave or a sound wave, or any kind of wave of matter. It's a wave of possibility; it's a kind of 'thought' wave. And because it is a wave of thought, or possibility, or 'not- matter,' it's invisible to us. But we can't explain what we do see as matter…unless we picture that these matter particles somehow come out from or emerge from these thought-wave patterns."9 (You can watch a video interview about The Field with Drs. Hagelin and Wolf from What the Bleep!? – Down the Rabbit Hole by clicking here.) The problem is no one can prove that The Field exists. You can't see it; you can't photograph it; you can't measure it; you can't hold it in your hand. But when quantum physicists assume The Field is there, they can make incredibly accurate mathematical predictions about the physical universe and how it behaves, which they can't do without
taking The Field into account. As Fred Alan Wolf said, "We can't explain what we do see as matter…unless we picture that these matter particles somehow come out from or emerge from these thought-wave patterns." Think of it as electricity. You can't see electricity itself; you can only see what electricity produces. One American comedian joked that he wouldn't pay his electric bill until the company showed him the electricity he was paying for. But we can see the light electricity makes, and the power, and the other effects we count on every day and now take so much for granted; and when we see those effects, we know electricity must exist. The same thing is true for The Field. FIELD:Even though we can't prove it exists scientifically, nothing makes sense without it in light of the results of the most recent experiments. Another example might help make this clearer…. If you were an Aborigine living in the Outback of Australia with no contact with the outside world, and someone brought you a radio, you might wonder how it works when you hear music coming out of the box. You might even take it apart, looking for an orchestra of very little people inside playing the music you hear. But after a while, you'd realize the only way to explain the music is to assume there are invisible radio waves in the air, and this box simply captures those waves and translates them into sound – even though you couldn't prove it. We have finally reached the point of human understanding – now supported by scientific evidence – that there are waves all around us. But this time they're not radio waves, they're not ocean waves; they're waves of The Field. FIELD: They're waves of potentiality; and when they are "observed," they turn into the physical universe we see. I'll talk a lot more about this concept in later chapters. For now it is enough to know The Field must exist, it is outside of space and time, and it includes an infinite number of possibilities, but only in wave form. This field does not contain particles; it is not matter; it is not part of the physical universe. Instead it is what the entire universe is made from – from these waves of possibilities. But how did this Field come into existence? Who made it? Where did it come from? Science has no answer for these questions. They only know The Field must exist. So I will not speculate about how The Field was created, or who might have created it, or how it already contains all possibilities, because… well, simply because there is absolutely no way a Human Adult can understand or have a direct experience of anything that happens on the other side of The Field. This will also become clearer in later chapters. The next question we can ask, though, is: How is "physical reality" created from this Field?

Damon Albarn treated fans to an acoustic version of his new song, 'Lonely, Press Play' off his forthcoming solo album, Everyday Robots during his BBC 2 interview with Dermot O'Leary on Monday. 'Lonely, Press Play' was debuted at Albarn's intimate acoustic gig at the Sundance Film Festival last month. While that acoustic take was accompanied by a string section, this further stripped-down version has a gentle sadness that is magnificent in its simplicity. Albarn also did a beautifully sparse cover of 'Seasons In The Sun' during the broadcast. The song, made famous by Terry Jacks in 1974, was originally adapted from a song by the Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel. You can listen to both of Albarn's songs below and the full interview here.
Albarn's acoustic performance from Sundance is now online, as well. You can now listen to his new songs 'Lonely, Press Play,' 'Hollow Ponds,' and 'You And Me.' He also did rare solo performances of Gorillaz' 'On Melancholy Hill' and Blur's 'To The End.'

How many ways are there to read? I ask because I desire more.
One of my methods in refuting the ineluctable fuckstorm of reading a book is to love the index. Thou Index, batter mine heart! Skeletons reside within the index; or, at least, the bony, knobby base of the book rests itself on order there. Or there wrests itself to order. Either way, I say "fuckstorm of reading" because—as I've written here elsewhere in the past—my feeble mind cannot cage each bit and tid of a book, never will, and reading has become in these last years a desperate foraging for brain tinsel. The process looking similar to the small magpie-gleaned sundries that will illuminate the going-glimmer nest within.
A fuckstorm isn't wholly negative, by the way. I mean, it's a raging swirl of fuck, which can be quite pleasant AND brow-furrowed, to put it delicately. But overall, I use the word because of the chaos and capaciousness of "fuck" and "storm," and because an index is the clarion call of Order, capital-O. Alphabetization, double columns, italics, numbers, logic, sequence.
And I so need Order, folks. Fashioning one's self an Indexer reins that baggage in with bungee cords. This is my alternate method of reading when the going gets stale. Believe me: staleness creeps like death on tender feline paws.
As a hopeful reader, I'll die ignorant, to be sure. But for some reason I think the index will save me. When I despair too much, I flip to the back-end and see what's choice, what's chosen, what's important enough to be listed. Lists are a habit of mine. I like marking them in inked phalanxes on the endpaper or flyleaf. My admiration for structure and dissection is depthless. I feel like there would be nothing more suitable for me than to index book after book.
The downside of indices is that they often only appear in non-fiction books. Rare is the novel that contains one. Why so? Fiction deserves as much eggheaded attention as anything else in the index department. As I'm apportioning the voluminousness of Moby-Dick, I'd kill for an index. Which I'm kind of surprised Melville didn't think of, all the other bells and whistles considered. Searching under the heading "Whale" would be worth the cost of entry.
What wouldn't work so well with indexing? Haikus, for sure.
On my desk, a copy of Poetic Diction by Owen Barfield. Page 229, the entry "Poetry":
'two sorts of', 12, 111-12
existence of depends on inner experience, 41-2, 49
and on Prosaic principles, 87, 103-4, 105
defined by Coleridge, 58
Great, 166, 170, 178 et seq. ; defined, 181
Modern, 33 et. seq., 148-9, 155-8, 170, 201
as a possession, 52, 55 et seq.
'joint-stock', 51
spoken and read, 98-9
fluid and architectural, 86 et seq.
fashionable contrast with science, 63, 138-40
What we have before us is itself a kind of poetry. As I read down the ladder here, I find myself enthralled with the contents before I devour them. The index, then, is poetic foreplay, if you will. Say I came to the index first and saw this entry. I'm immediately curious about our "two sorts" of poetry. Are they the Great and the Modern labeled below? And why is Great Poetry defined, but Modern Poetry isn't? I'm now wondering what Owen Barfield has against defining the Moderns. Plenty of pages are devoted to both. The answer is within.
Move now to the "existence of depends on inner experience." How metaphysical. But only three pages! Perhaps poetry isn't as inner as I once thought. Barfield must not think it necessitates inner experience. Though he does require Coleridge's thoughts on the matter. And I can say that a small part of my conscience is keen, more anticipatory, to see proper names in indexes. As I mow the lawn of the index, moving systematically up and down the columns, I'm eyeballing names to latch onto, to compute. Easily recognizable names, or known names, creates a sense of knowingness, or familiarity–a feeling that, hey, I can trust this guy. But anyway…
Poetry then transforms into a possession, joint-stock, and a fashionable contrast with science. The index has distilled the book's bulk into a potent liquor. Quaff deeply. Here we can get drunk together on the accidental collision that Order ordains. The index, in my mind's eye, is like having different groups of friends mingle for the first time. Confusing, awkward, serendipitous.
On page 228, Milton elbows Money, Muller, Music, Mystic, and Myth. The index allows this unusual juxtaposition, seeing as none of these subjects share page-space. And while the author can't comment upon these relationships, it's fascinating to see disparate words make even a meager connection.
I would never, of course, strongly recommend that one read a book strictly on this plan. But isn't it sort of delicious to have the curtain pulled back and the author's passions exposed? A book declares itself as a stricture on the Nature of Ideas, organizing words into a set design for the reader, their intentions and needs be damned. Life, whipped.
An index also lays out the complexity of the book into pristine statements, as if a yogi lived in the binding, dreaming up witty apercus. By a small transposition on the page, I come up with these sentences from Barfield's book, under the index heading of Self-consciousness, 204-10.
Self-consciousness depends on abstract thought and vice versa.
Self-consciousness is necessary for metaphor-making.
Self-consciousness produces 'poetry.'
Self-consciousness opposed to inspiration.
Self-consciousness opposed to cognition.
Self-consciousness opposed to thinking.
Self-consciousness creation out of full.
Self-consciousness unrelieved modern.
Self-consciousness and Kant.
But there's mystery in numbers. And page numbers can occlude understanding and Order.
Ryhthm apparently shows up on pages 47, 98 et seq., 146 et seq., and 157-8. Why, in a book on poetic diction, does the subject of rhythm only appear on five pages? Lunacy. But, when I look up what the Latin abbreviation et seq. stands for, I find "et sequens," or, "and that which follows." In fact, now that I nose closer, the abbr. litters every index page like cigarette butts in a park glen.
Supposing I'm speaking out of school on the subject of reading. That my fuckstorms aren't as fuckish as all that. They probably aren't. I'm just trying to ford my way through a minor deluge in the creek. And if I constantly and doggedly read a book in the prescribed way, then I will lose my lust for reading and reading its luster. As an homage, I offer my own hypothetical index entry.
READING (see Education), 193, 193 n, 206-7
defined, i-xi, 2
indexes, 52, 103
by pale fire, 198
with friends, 40-1, 72, 74, 83-6
"accidental," 1-50, 100-164
"purposeful," 51-99

Excerpt from Heaven's Gold: Resurrecting Faith in Today's Youth:
"When scientific discoveries are made which cause the religious tectonic plates to shift from the knowledge of those discoveries, the church must allow its interpretation of Scripture to shift as well, as more of God's power and nature are revealed. Otherwise, the chasm between the two will become so large that young people will be unable to make the leap of faith between what can be explained and what cannot."
Several years ago in a Sunday School class, our teacher referenced a study that had been done regarding young people leaving the church in droves. At the time, that seemed preposterous. However, upon investigation, not only were those claims fairly accurate, but the exodus of young people from the church appears to be growing.
In my research and interviews with church leaders, preachers, priests, and youth ministers as well as people employed in Christian publishing, I heard stories of teenagers whose faith was on fire before they went off to college but then evaporated upon moving into their college dorm rooms. I also interviewed dozens of young people who had grown up in the church but left as soon as they were allowed, many of whom never set foot in a church after their high school graduation. Perhaps not ironically, each of the young ladies I interviewed pretty much gave the same reason for leaving: the church's teachings that women are to be submissive to men.
Although it took six years to complete the research and the writing of the book, this subject continues to evolve. The study guide for "Heaven's Gold", entitled "The Threshold of God" will soon be available to help lead the expedition into the jungle of faith and doubt to find the treasure of God. Once young people see the incredible value that faith in God can have in their lives, they will stream back to the church.

November 3, 2013
Whenever I make these, I'm instantly transported to my mom's house in Washington, nice and chilly, with a fire going and surrounded by evergreen trees. On a good day I have this as a naughty / not nutritious breakfast with coffee, or with some almond milk for dessert. on bad days I'm averaging like 7.
+ 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
+ 1 cup granulated sugar
+ 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (I usually 1 1/2)
+ 1 teaspoon baking soda
+ 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
+ 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
+ 2 large eggs
+ 1 teaspoon vanilla
+ 1 cup plain pumpkin (half of a 1 pound can, although I like mine extra pumpkin-y so I use 2/3 of the can)
+ 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
+ 1 cup chocolate chips (feel free to go rogue here and add as many as you want)
1 preheat oven to 350°.
2 grease muffin cups or use paper baking cups. (I think paper baking cups are way easier)
3 thoroughly mix flour, sugar, pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips
4 in a separate bowl, mix eggs, pumpkin, melted butter, vanilla. whisk until blended.
5 pour over dry ingredients and fold in using a spatula until combined.
6 scoop batter evenly into muffin cups.
7 bake 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and springy to the touch in the center.
8 turn out onto a rack to cool.
A few notes: to make mine extra fall-ish, I add a sprinkle of nutmeg, allspice, cloves and cinnamon. The recipe doesn't call for it but I DO WHAT I WANT. Also, these taste way better if you make them a day in advance. I rarely have the self restraint to wait for these to cool, much less 24 hours, but it's worth it. (they're delicious no matter what, I'm just trying to give you the prime muffin experience)
Makes 12 regular or 48 miniature muffins, I usually double the recipe.

Relationships have their ups and downs, with occasional disagreements or arguments. Most people will feel frustrated, disappointed or angry with a relative or partner at some point. But there's a difference between a healthy level of disagreement and using violence and control. If your partner or relative feels too intimidated, threatened or frightened to have their say, the balance of power in the relationship is no longer equal – regardless of whether or not you intended for that to happen.
"I never thought the kids would pick up on it. I'm always sure not to start things with their mum in front of them, only when they're asleep. But I remember what it was like for me growing up; hearing my parents fight in the other room, seeing mum shaken up in the morning, feeling scared when dad would come home… There was no way I wanted my kids growing up with that, I knew something had to change." – Aaron
Have you ever:
- Made your partner or kids feel scared?
- Shouted or screamed at a family member?
- Called a family member insulting or belittling names?
- Not allowed your partner to spend money for their personal use?
- Slapped, hit, pushed or shoved a family member – or threatened to?
- Thrown something in your partner's or kids' presence, such as a glass, a chair or tv remote?
- Pressured your partner into doing something sexual that they didn't want to?
These are just some examples of the ways men use violent or controlling behaviours in relationships. If you answered yes to any of these questions, it's time you gave us a call.

"Do you want me to call a guide or do you just want to walk around alone?" I was sitting in my guesthouse on Sunday morning, sipping coffee in the central room while Josephine spoke to me from across the table.
Yesterday, I had intended to get lost alone in the souks. Today, I had changed my mind. Last night, no less than three young men had attached themselves to me when I'd walked back from therestaurant. It's only a ten-minute walk. No sooner had I shaken one would-be guide or tout, then another would materialize at my elbow. One had at least made me laugh. "I don't want to be your guide. I want to be your bodyguard from other guides."
"I think I'll need a guide. I can't stand the hassle."
She called a man named Ali, who showed up in a long Jedi cloak. There are both Jedi Knights and Jawa outfits in Morocco. I haven't been to Tunisia, where much of the original Star Wars was filmed, but I suspect the same style of clothing was popular there at the time. And while I haven't seen any motor scooters of this sort on my current trip, the last time I was in Morocco, "Jawa" brand motor scooters were everywhere.
Ali escorted me around the Medina, showing me historic schools and mosques, as well as pointing out cultural differences.
"That is where wedding chairs are rented for ceremonies. No family buys these—they always rent because styles of wedding chairs change with fashion. And these threads here—they are being prepared for sale. Those are political posters."
It was good to have a guide like Ali. He took me into a store to overlook the tanners souk, but he didn't seem to care if I bought anything. I saw a gorgeous sky-blue leather bag... but when I asked the opening price and it was 350 dirham ($46), I decided there was nothing there that I really needed. Even at half the price, I didn't want the bag.
The same thing had happened at the pottery village the night before. Prices had been even higher than the value of the item. I understand I'm supposed to bargain, but I knew there was no way I'd get the prices down to anything I considered acceptable.
Once Ali dropped me off, I walked to a place called Cafe Clock for the most expensive falafel I've had since the first time I went to Egypt and didn't know not to order food in a tourist restaurant in Khan El-Khalili. One problem, besides me frequenting tourist joints here in Morocco, is that the euro is kicking the dollar's butt. Everything in Morocco is priced in euros.
I'm financially doomed this time out.
Maybe it serves me right for all those years of traveling when the dollar was king.

Whenever you have to export a project from a newer minor version Open Text Management Server to an older one you will get
|Project import completed
|Import aborted with errors
|A logfile which contains:
Import: Start Import : 8:00:59 PM
Import: Errors occured: -40 Database version is too high. Import canceled : 8:00:59 PM
First of all, I have to tell dear RedDot CMS: You are a hypocrite – Subject and Content are not really consitent.
However you could do two things:
Assuming here that you or your Open Text Management Server developer has an
export server with RedDot CMS 184.108.40.206 and the import server is RedDot CMS 220.127.116.11.
In your export folder you will find a file called IE.INI. Change the following values to your needs:
You need to change these 2 variables in the IE.INI file:
Name=7.5 - 18.104.22.168
Name=7.5 - 22.214.171.124
"Name" relates to the product version, and the "Version" refers to the database schema version used.
After chaning the IE.INI your project can be imported and it should run as expected.
No related posts.
Cool stuff. Here are the values for another widely used version:
Name=7.5 – 220.127.116.11
Can anyone please provide database version numbers for CMS builds between 184.108.40.206 and 220.127.116.11?
Name=6.5 – 220.127.116.11
Name=9 – 18.104.22.168
If you don't know the database version of YOUR server and therefore don't have any clue what to insert in the ie.ini file of the project you'd like to import then just export one of your projects and have a look in the ie.ini of the export. There you'll find the database version of YOUR server.
Hint: I've done rthis several times and it worked perfectly, but if the steps between the version are to big then it might happen that a feature which was added in the higher version doesn't work in the lower version…

1. Use emotions more frequently. For example, express heartfelt appreciation, get excited about organizational success. Show energy and enthusiasm.
2. Reach out to people. Find more ways to interact with your subordinates. Practice management by walking around. Initiate conversations and be constructive.
3. Set an aggressive target. With the involvement of your team members, set a target that will stretch the group.
4. Practice lavish communication. Take the time to be inclusive by being diligent in passing on information that you collect to your colleagues. Controlling information is not inspiring.
5. Delegate tasks with the development of the other person in mind. Delegation can be elevated to an important discussion and can be wrapped with important messages that inspire and that generate positive motivation. "I see this project as a real opportunity to help you develop your skills in…."
6. Make having a personal development plan a priority and review it at least twice a year. Create positive consequences for having a personal development plan in place and for pursuing it.
7. Schedule regular coaching sessions with each subordinate. Make yourself available. Also, leaders who are strong in self-development are very frequently rated higher on their ability to coach and develop others.
8. Involve more people in decision making on every important issue. Seeking the opinion of others communicates that what they are doing is important and it conveys respect and appreciation and strengthens the bond with the leader.
9. Shower positive attention on new ideas. If you have a "no" approach to new ideas, you will unwittingly close down creativity and innovation. If you don't know, ask those who work for you, they'll know.
10. Be the example. Demonstrate to your colleagues with your actions what is valued by the organization. You may also need to selectively model behaviors that need to be emphasized in the organization. A "do as I do" approach.

Robert Young fakes run across America

To be fair this did follow a double pit stop at McDonald's and Appleby's.
Which may be where he noticed the problem.
Kidney/bladder issues are not uncommon after many miles of running (been there) ... hopefully it is something scary (like urinating blood) but not serious.
Actually, they may have just stopped at Applee's and/or McDonalds for directions. As JWIII pointed out in on the UltraList, they first tries to stop an Irvington Family Medicine (a clinic) at 21:30.
Maybe the RV is chilling while he runs ahead. Assuming he makes it out of Indy alive, I think the hills of PA will finish him if Ohio doesn't first.
Natty Dread wrote:
It would appear that the RV just reversed route and went to Indianapolis Community Hospital East.
I hope he's ok. And that this is the end of this fiasco. It's also a good end for him - going to the hospital will allow him to spin this so he can keep his true believers on board. He can say that he would have made it, but had a bit of an issue after sooooo many days of "running". And, as he didn't finish, he'll never have to release any data to all those wretched trolls who are unfairly trying to malign him.
My hope is next year he can ride with Team Sky in the Tour de France. Except, sadly, he's too good and is guaranteed to win so jealousy will keep them from letting him join the team. He'd be way better than Lance. Way better.

Oops ... they first tried to stop at Irvington Family Medicine ...
How many people:
A) What to see him finish?
B) Would like to see him make a huge resurgence and break the record?
I'll answer: Both A and B.
Do I still have questions about the pre-Laz days?
Yes, but finishing with a record sure would stretch out this delightful thread.

Community Hospital East? I hope he's ok. Don't kill yourself Rob.
Fwiw, if this is the end of the run, then this ends nearly identically to how his 373 mile run ended. Read CoachKev's blog. After 373 miles which broke Dean's continuous run record, RY wanted to go on to 400. But paramedics had to stop him. Fortunately, then it wasn't the end of him. And hopefully now, it isn't either.
Zero point zero....
Do you think the McDonalds, IHOP and Motel 6 vending machine food doesn't agree with him?

So you think it's explosive diarrhea brought on by the constant up and down motion from running?
When Real Laz said he would have pulled him yesterday .... I've been waiting. I hope he is no worse for wear long term... If Laz finds him worthy of respect and is helping w shoes and shirts he must see some talent that is credible. Not enough talent for a record breaking transcon but some.... Laz has seen many runners at their darkest points. He will have a good feel for what is a rough patch one will emerge from and when it is time to try again another race. He's not some RnR RD worried about a lame lawsuit. I respect his judgement on pulling runners as he realizes the miles they have accumulated. Given they have not made it through Indy I assume the RDM is becoming insurmountable for the record - that is all I care about. Fake the run, fake yourself, be lame. Just don cheat a record.

49 Miles for the day.
Once again the main man comes back at you all! You must be pig sick as so many of you predicted his demise for so many days. Crying out about his mental state and health and slating his past once again.
I should point out that Skins is Rob's preferred clothing for this little run and he has mostly white clothing for the day runs to keep off the sun and black clothing which is compression for the evening runs to preserve and help his legs. This is one forgotten reason why he was in black that night at the garage.
I'll give some of you lot one thing..........there are a few of you that have a good sense of humour and the 'banter' is not bad.
Pity it's let down by the judgemental ones who of course have never ever done anything wrong in their entire lives. I wish I could be an amazing as you hallowed ones.
Isn't it interesting to see the dodgy geezer Asher try to back track on his lies in the latest articles. Trouble is he is this deep in his lie he has to try to keep on lying as he knows his evidence is total BS.
As far as Marcus goes he is now posting more on here as he is being villified on Ultralist due to his awful comments about Rob's past and it's only in here that he gets the audience he so desperately craves.
The people on ultra list are at least ultra runners and know a little about this great sport. What a pity so many of you haven't got a clue and stoop to such low levels in your comments.
For those that do know about this sport I don't have an issue with your doubts and understand them fully, the rest are......
I realise many of you think it's just fun and 'banter' but you don't think about how awful it would be if an entire section of people suddenly turned on you for no decent reason and began to discredit your entire life and question everything about you. Just sit back for one moment and ponder that and think before you post vile things about another human.
Remember this is just a little run and not life or death. There are far more important things to be getting upset about than whether Rob can run fast or slow.
As far as "The Kids" go, this really gets my goat and I'm not going to have a rant but i'm going to point a few things out. This is a run to raise awareness and money for three charities. Two of these charities are American.
This limey is coming to your fecking country to raise money for your fecking children, and you complain!
You couldn't write a comedy about that even if you tried.
Can I suggest that for every person who has written a bad comment that you pledge to donate $1.00 if Rob succeeds in this challenge and to double it if he is proven to have done it without cheating.
I'll wager that I won't get a single person to pledge that.
I'll donate $1.00 for every positive comment i've made on here, Ultra Running Community and on FB if Rob is shown to have cheated or if he fails to complete the challenge.
I'm putting my money where the sausage rolls are and it's treble espresso's with ice cream on top for my horse in this race from now on.
The finish line is beckoning and Rob is defying you all......be afraid as the Brits are coming!
If you don't know what fecking is or banter is just ask any knowledgable Irishman or Englishman and ask them in the rub a dub dub over a nice drop of King Lear whilst discussing the next Captain Cook from this Bacardi Breezer
Some valid points but, don't have a cow, man.
You have to keep in mind, a little bit of cheating is ok when you are not trying to set a world record; you would only be cheating yourself. But, around here, if you are going for gold, going for AR, WR - you better back everything up 100% because we are passionate about records and we don't want to be cheated. He's going for a record on our soil. Guess what, I wouldn't care if he cheated on a UK crossing Record.
You, Rob and everyone else with half a brain knows he has cheated in the desert. Now, if he can break the record without being convicted of cheating by Guinness, is another story.
I feel, he will finish in record breaking time. What happens after that, time will tell. Will he be declined a record? Who knows.[/quote]
Perfect timing...

he falls often

altho he never stops moving
he lays there prone & bleeding, often for hours
his arms pumping,
legs turning over
he'll learn that he doesn't always have to move his legs
but that only comes with experience
still his growth is undeniable
yesterday he was a slow runner;
today he is a man who runs slowly
(a subtle but important distinction among ultra runners)
the sun is setting now
sliding its way down the sky
it is what it is

Please post more Sir Laz
I am now pretending this is the real laz, because they are much more entertaining and surprisingly somehow still read like his updates.

Hopefully just on his face or in his pee... He's been running for what... 5 days under Laz's supervision and assistance? Guess RayK's shoe trick didn't solve all his problems ;)
Given 50 per day appears to have put him in the hospital, what's the over/under on actual miles run per day prior? 30 per day? maybe 20 per day?
Ray got Robert on the Karo syrup yet?

Classic Movie Soundtracks
The Importance of Movie Soundtracks
It's been widely acknowledged that the John Williams score for the Steven Spielberg film Jaws was a big contributor to the success of the movie. There are many instances where a composer has been linked not only to the success of a film but also to the movie director. This article looks at the music that made the movies or the movie soundtracks that became classics and household names.Here are my favourites and hopefully your favourites. If you don't agree feel free to make a comment.
Gone With the Wind - 1939
This movie will remain forever as one of the greatest movies ever made. Tara's Theme which is the main soundtrack was written by Max Steiner for the unknown director Victor Fleming. This classic film starred Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh, Leslie Howard and Olivia deHavilland.
The epic story of a woman's life during one of the most tumultuous periods in America's history. From her young, innocent days on a feudalistic plantation, to the war torn streets of Atlanta; from her first love whom she has always desired to three husbands; from the utmost luxury to absolute starvation and poverty; from her innocence to her understanding and comprehension of life and her beloved Tara.
Doctor Zhivago - 1965
Another great move with another fantastic soundtrack. This time the composer is Maurice Jarre and he wrote it for the great director of epic tales David Lean. Doctor Zhivago starred Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin, Rod Steiger, Alec Guinness and Tom Courtney.
Set just before as well as in the years following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the film follows the life of Zhivago as he marries, raises a family, and then has his life totally disrupted by the first World War, and then by the Russian Revolution. Shown against a world turned on its head, his life and freedom are torn from him as the new Russian society makes its demands.
Jaws - 1975
The ultimate scary movie. Many people are still asking themselves whether it is safe to go back in the water. The soundtrack was written by John Williams for the director Steven Spielberg. The film starred Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss.
Martin Brody is the new police chief of Amity, an island resort town somewhere in New England. He has a wife named Ellen, and two sons named Michael and Sean. On a Summer morning, Brody is called to the beach, where the mangled body of Summer vacationer Chrissie Watkins has washed ashore. Shark expert Matt Hooper believes Watkins was killed by a shark. Hooper is proven right a few days later, when Alex Kintner is killed by the shark that killed Watkins. On the 4th of July, Vaughn encourages people to swim at the beach, and Hooper is proven right again when the shark kills a man, biting the man's leg off. Brody asks Vaughn to hire Quint to find the shark. Because his own kids were at that beach too, Vaughn agrees to hire Quint to find the shark. Quint, Hooper, and Brody are sent out to sea in Quint's boat, the Orca, ready to do whatever it takes to find the shark.
Peter O'Tool
Lawrence of Arabia - 1963
Another David Lean classic and another Maurice Jarre haunting melody. The composer captured in music the huge expanse of empty desert that is the backbone of the film. The film starred Peter O'Tool, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quayle and Jack Hawkins.
A complex man who has been labeled everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist, Thomas Edward Lawrence blazed his way to glory in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under an assumed name. The story opens with the death of Lawrence in a motorcycle accident in London at the age of 47, then flashbacks to recount his adventures.
As a young intelligence officer in Cairo in 1916, he investigates the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks during the first World War. He organizes a guerrilla army and for two years leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. Eventually, he leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - 1966
The first of the spaghetti westerns directed by Sergio Leone and starrring Clint Eastwood. The music was composed by Ennio Morricone and has become the signature theme for all westerns since then. The movie starred Clint Eastwood (as the man with no name), Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef.
The Good is Blondie, a wandering gunman with a strong personal sense of honor. The Bad is Angel Eyes, a sadistic hit man who always hits his mark. The Ugly is Tuco, a Mexican bandit who's always only looking out for himself. Against the backdrop of the Civil War, they search for a fortune in gold buried in a graveyard. Each knows only a portion of the gold's exact location, so for the moment they're dependent on each other. However, none are particularly inclined to share.
Yul Brynner
The Magnificent Seven - 1960
No apologies for another western as the music composed by Elmer Bernstein for director John Sturges is magnificently western and makes the movie. The Magnificent Seven starred Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn and Horst Buchholz. A who's who of cinema talent.
A remake of "The Seven Samurai." Seven men are picked to guard a Mexican village from bandits that come every now and then to take whatever the town has grown since their last visit. When they are hired, they go to the town and teach the villagers how to defend themselves. When the leader of the bandits arrives, they see him and his men off. The next time they come the villages fear for their wives and children. They hand over the seven heroes. The leader of the bandits takes their guns and throws them out of town he gives them horses and gives their guns back to them when they are far out of town. The seven decide that they aren't going to run, and head back to the village for a final showdown.
The Pink Panther - 1963
Perhaps the funniest film ever made. Certainly the soundtrack written by Henry Mancini had a lot to do with its staying power. The Director was Blake Edwards and the movie starred the greatest comedian ever Peter Sellers. It also starred David Niven, Robert Wagner and Herbert Lom.
The trademark of The Phantom, a renowned jewel thief, is a glove left
at the scene of the crime. Inspector Clouseau, an expert on The
Phantom's exploits, is certain that he knows where The Phantom will
strike next and leaves Paris for Switzerland, where the famous Lugashi
jewel 'The Pink Panther' is going to be. However, he does not know who
The Phantom really is, or for that matter who anyone else really is. He suspects everyone, even his own wife and as it turns out with good cause, as she is very friendly with Sir Charles Lytton.
The Book of Eli - 2010
I managed to find a modern movie with a soundtrack I liked and one which also enhanced the film. The talented Atticus Rose wrote the soundtrack for the hugely talented twins the Hughes Brothers who directed this movie. The movie stars the amazing Denzil Washington and Gary Oldman. If you ever want to say that a soundtrack is a perfect fit for a movie, then this is the one.
Eli has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland. The barren roads belong to gangs who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or even just for fun. Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with amazing killing skills when he is challenged. After the war Eli was guided by a higher power to a hidden book and given the task of protecting the book and taking it to its final destination. Eli guards the book with his life, because he knows that the book is the only hope that humanity has for its future.
Movie's Poster
Bryan Adams - Everything I Do
Robin Hood = Prince of Thieves
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is directed by Kevin Reynolds and had its worldwide release in 1991. The stars of the film are Kevin Costner as the hero Robin Hood, Morgan Freeman as Azeem, Christian Slater as Will Scarlet, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Maid Marian of Dubois, and Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
The movie was a huge box office hit, grossing over $390 million worldwide, which made it the third highest earning film of 1991. Rickman received the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and the film's theme song, "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", written and sung by Bryan Adams, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song.
Robin of Locksley (Costner), is an English aristocrat who joins King Richard "The Lionheart" in the Third Crusade, is held captive in Jerusalem together with his friend Peter. Robin escapes, saving the life of a Moor called Azeem (Freeman) during the course, but Peter perishes while absconding and makes Robin swear an oath to safeguard his sister, Marian (Mastrantonio).
Robin returns to England with Azeem, who has sworn to escort him until the obligation of saving his life is settled up. In England, with King Richard still abroad, the unpleasant Sheriff of Nottingham (Rickman) rules over the land, assisted by his friend Guy of Gisbourne (Michael Wincott), together with the witch Mortianna (Geraldine McEwan) and the immoral Bishop of Hereford (Harold Innocent). At Locksley Castle, Robin's father (Brian Blessed) is slain by the Sheriff's men after declining to join them.
Once in England, Robin finds his father deceased, his home in remnants, and the Sheriff and his men tyrannizing the people. While escaping the Sheriff's armies, Robin and Azeem happenstance a gang of outlaws hiding in Sherwood Forest, their leader is Little John (Nick Brimble).
At the end after the Sherriff is defeated, Robin and Marian acknowledge their love for each other and marry in the forest. Their wedding is momentarily disturbed by the return of King Richard (Sean Connery), who sanctifies the marriage and recognises Robin for his deeds.
How often do you go to the cinema?
How often do you go to the movies?
I am extremely surprised to not see kevin costners, robind hood on any lists for best sound track. I was merely 10 when the movie first came out and absolutley fell in love with the musical score. I would fall asleep every night for a year listening to it. My opinion, best musical soundtrack score to date!
I can't believe the Jurassic Park theme didn't make this list! Oh well, I guess John Williams can't get all of the kudos. Great hub, by the way. I wish I could think up such unique and specific topics.
Vertigo, and Planet of the Apes are also excellent.
Hey Guys, uhh, what about The Godfather?
Dark Knight?
Star Wars?
Anything with John WIlliams/Hank Zimmer.
Star Wars...they have amazing songs in that...
There's this one song I've been looking for. It's played with violin at about medium speed. It sounds like it's used for action/drama. But I just can't think of the name or where it's from. The violin is played for about 10 seconds in one tone, then 10 seconds in a higher tone, then back down, kind of changing speed in each transition. I wish I could demonstrate the sound. It's pretty well known. I think even family guy referenced it once. It's a great song. Think of Hello Zepp by Charlie Clouser. It's done at about that speed, but has nothing to do whatsoever with Saw. Sometimes, imagining the song, I get both caught in my head at the same time.
Hey, just found this page as I was searching for "Atticus Rose" after watching The Book of Eli. If haven't listened to, check out the soundtracks for Solaris (2002), Traffic, and Narc, all composed by Cliff Martinez (the original Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer!) I think he also did Sex, Lies, and Video tape.
We may not even know that we are listening to these soundtracks as they are played everywhere and so often, especially for commercials.
Back in my day "Moon River" was very popular.
Thanks for this hub!

You are made up of cells! And the food you eat every day is as well!
Today we are going to demonstrate this to you! It is not that difficult, you just need few things and the magic is done!
- A microscope (in our case the 3D Cell Explorer)
- Plastic tube
- PBS or water
- Diluted acid
- Microscopy slides and coverslips
- Toothpick
- Food (onion, banana and/or yogurt)
Procedure for preparing onion root tip squashes:
Even if you don't like onions (we don't) you can still use them in the name of science!
- Cut a thin piece of root tip and put it into a plastic tube with a small amount of acid. (Caution: Work with the HCl carefully, if you are under 18 ask for the help of an adult!)
- Warm the tube in hot water for ten minutes.
- Using forceps, carefully transfer the root tip to a microscopy slide, wash it with PBS or water and cover it with the coverslip.
Now you are ready to see your experiment results. Enjoy your Onion cells 😉
Procedure for preparing banana cells:
- With a toothpick, take a small amount of banana pulp and spread it over the microscopy slide.
- Add some PBS or water drops and cover it with the coverslip.
Your banana cells are ready to be observed!
Procedure for preparing yogurt's bacteria cells:
- With a toothpick, take a small amount of yogurt and spread it over the microscopy slide.
- Add some PBS/water drops and cover it with the coverslip.
Everything is ready now. It is time to explore the hidden life inside your food!
