Dear Hollywood: About those high movie prices...
I'm a big fan and happy to be writing you, but I wish I was for a happier reason. You see, I was thinking of taking my family to the movies this weekend, and then I remembered that box office prices have gone up.
Way up.
Numerous media outlets reported that last Friday, according to the investment firm BTIG, prices for adult admission to 3-D movies increased by 8.3% at box offices nationwide. Regular two-dimensional movie prices rose 4%, on average, and ticket prices for IMAX jumped 10%.
And then what do you know, at the end of last weekend, The New York Times ran a story about the disappointing haul of cash that How to Train Your Dragonhad brought in. It was "only" $43.3 million. That sounds like a lot, and it is, but the studio had been expecting northward of $60 mil.
Why didn't more money come in? "A variety of factors may have dented How to Train Your Dragon," speculated the Times'writer Brooks Barnes, "from a sudden glut of 3-D pictures to the decision last week by many theater chains to raise ticket prices."
I'm with Barnes. I think the movie industry is making a big mistake.
Nobody asked me for my opinion, Hollywood, but I can't help but notice the comparisons here between movie prices and banks and credit cards. For years, banks kept lifting their overdraft and non-sufficient fund fees and credit cards kept adding fees and upping their interest, until finally the economy cracked, and the government stepped in and began enforcing new rules. Now, I realize film prices could be $76,000 a ticket, and the government presumably won't step in. Capitalism and all, and as wonderful as the movies are, I don't think our economic security is at stake if your prices are high.
Still, I think you're shooting yourselves in the foot. Granted, I'm just one guy, but I know that I'm going to fewer and fewer movies every year. I used to be a great customer, too. In my teens and 20, when I had much more disposable income, I was probably at the movies once or twice a month. In my 30s, I became a husband and father and didn't have as much time and extra money, but my wife and I would still leave the kids with the grandparents and go see a movie every couple months, and the minute I felt my children were old enough to sit through an entire movie, I dragged them to the theater. I had many fond memories of my own parents taking me to see films like The Rescuers and The Cat From Outer Space(don't laugh; when it came out in 1978, I was 8 and from my perspective, it was as good as Lawrence of Arabia), and you know, I wanted my own kids to feel the same way about the movies.
Maybe it's inevitable, now that I'm 40, that I'm cranky and not feeling the love from the movie theaters. Maybe my father, when he took my younger brother and I to see that 1978 Don Knotts' caper Hot Lead and Cold Feet, grumbled about the $2 movie tickets and reminisced about how movies were so much cheaper in the 1950s when his parents were shelling out 50 cents. And maybe my grandfather was grumbling that prices were so much cheaper during the Depression when movie tickets were about a quarter.
Still, this is what I know. To take my family (me, the wife and two kids) to see the 3-D movie Alice in Wonderland this weekend, which is what I've been contemplating doing, will probably cost around $35, maybe slightly less if we see it in the afternoon, and I'm not including whatever we outlay at the concession stand.
We're in the Midwest. It's even worse, I understand, if you're living on the coast, especially in a big city. And, sure, if you're a big movie executive reading this, you're probably thinking, "Heh, heh, well, griping aside, he's still planning on taking his family to see Alice in Wonderland."
True enough, but I know that I'm seeing a lot fewer movies than I might have in the past. I didn't go see The Bounty Hunter (probably just as well, given the reviews) nor The Ghost Writer (which has been wonderfully reviewed, but you know, that's why we have Netflix; we can catch it later). I missed Shutter Island and doubt I'll be heading to the theater to see Hot Tub Time Machine, which seems to be aimed at my age (all about the good ol' 1980s) and looks like a fun film.
Meanwhile, my kids haven't been clamoring to see How to Train Your Dragon, so you can bet I won't be pushing that movie on them. We'll go to a playground instead, which, of course, is probably a better decision for all of us, anyway. Fresh air and exercise, you know.
So you do your thing, Hollywood, if you want, and I'll do mine. But just as the banks and credit cards used to think they could wring every little cent out of their customers, only to have their tactics eventually boomerang back on them, I don't think your latest price hike is a good, sustainable business practice.
Your friend,
Geoff Williams

text: Michael Kors Celebrated NYFW With Models and Duran Duran 11:23 AM PDT 9/14/2015 by Carson Griffith FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME We expect nothing less. If there's one thing Michael Kors knows how to do, it's put on a show — and not just on the runway. On Sunday night, the fashion designer celebrated twofold: another New York Fashion Week under his belt as well at the launch of The Michael Kors Gold Fragrance Collection at the Boom Boom Room, the Top of the Standard. The event turned out a number of Kors' most devoted ladies, all decked in his deigns: Kate Upton, Camilla Belle, Naomi Campbell, Alexandra Richards, Hailee Steinfeld, Jaime King and Nina Agdal. "He's a Leo and he loves me because I'm a Leo, so we have this special bond," said Richards. See more New York Fashion Week's Front Row The promise of a surprise performer kept the evening buzzing. "Oh you didn't hear?" Upton joked, "It's me! I am so sorry." Although we're sure the statuesque blond was happy with the actual entertainment for the evening — Duran Duran — she mentioned that her all- time favorite musician she's caught live is Britney Spears. "I really want to go to her Vegas show!" Kors had a special reason for selecting the famed '80s and '90s rock band to perform. "Oh my God, for me, I couldn't truly name how many fashion show I've done over the years that had a Duran Duran moment in the show. Yasmin Le Bon was modeling in a Michael Kors show and her daughter I think, she and Simon got married very shortly thereafter. I've known the family a really long time. It's glamorous, it's energetic, it's optimistic, its sexy," Kors, clad in a classic dark suit and sunglasses, declared. "It's everything Michael Kors is about. It's a good match." Read more 7 Things We Learned From Jenna Lyons at NYFW As for his favorite song? " 'Girls on Film.' I think I've used it in two fashion shows." It's fitting then that the band ended their six-song set, a combination of classics and new music from their album Paper Gods, released Friday, with Kors' favorite. A number of the people in the packed room — which was so tight to the front of the stage that guests couldn't exit once the band started — headed out after Duran Duran's performance to China Chalet, where Opening Ceremony held its afterparty with Svedka Vodka, and Jessica Alba hopped around gleefully snapping photos (and sipping nonalcoholic beverages), surrounded by downtown club kids.

It's Election Day — meaning the long-running primary campaign season is at an end.
By the end of the evening, voters will have selected Republican and Democratic nominees for a bevy of statewide posts, including governor and attorney general. And they will have made selections for nominees for local county positions as well.
When can I vote?
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Do I have to choose a party?
No, but you can. Most of the contested races are on the Republican or Democratic ballots. But some local races will also appear on a nonpartisan ballot that you can select. Those include any local referendums.
In Tazewell County that includes a countywide tax referendum as well as a local one for Washington District 51 voters. And city of Washington residents will also decide on all ballots — Republican, Democrat and nonpartisan — whether to have future city races be nonpartisan.
In Peoria County, voters will decide whether to make the county auditor's position appointed, and Bartonville voters will consider a school tax referendum.
And in Woodford County voters will consider a school facilities sales tax.
Major races
Most of the decisive action will be on the east side of the river Tuesday.
Tazewell County Republicans will select nominees for sheriff (between Mike Eeten and Jeff Lower) and for a two-year unexpired coroner term (between Scott Price, Charlie Hanley and Steve Bresnahan). No Democrats have filed to run for either seat in the fall.
They'll also pick a nominee for county clerk between John Ackerman, Brett Grimm and Shelly Hranka. The winner will face Democrat Brittany Miller in the fall in a contest to replace retiring longtime clerk Christie Webb. And they'll narrow the field in a County Board contest in District 2.
Peoria County Democratic voters will select between Jessica Thomas and Emily Rotherham for their nominee for auditor, if the position isn't made appointive. And a contested board nomination will be decided in the western part of the county.
Woodford County Republican voters will narrow the field — tantamount to election in the GOP-leaning county — by selecting nominees for County Board in all three districts.
A single exception
One city of Peoria contest will also be completely decided. Martha Ross is seeking another five-year term on the Peoria Public Schools board, and faces a write-in campaign by Angela Sierra. The winner will be inaugurated later this year.
What's turnout like?
Typically, primary elections see fewer voters come out than a general election. But this year the difference between the two may be less.
In Peoria County, early voting turnout was up last Friday more than 35 percent over 2014 when 1,275 citizens cast such ballots. It had cleared 2,000 by Monday, with more Democrats than Republicans using such ballots by about a two-to-one ratio, Tom Bride, the county election commission executive director said.
Four years ago for the gubernatorial primary, turnout didn't clear 20 percent in the county, but this year with heavier interest Bride said it could top 25 percent. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is being challenged by state Rep. Jeanne Ives in a divisive contest. And there's a six-person field for Democrats selecting a nominee for governor, including JB Pritzker, Chris Kennedy, Daniel Biss, Bob Daiber, Tio Hardiman and Bob Marshall.
Where's your polling place?
You can find lists at peoriaelections.org, tazewell.com/countyclerk or through the clerk's page at woodford-county.org
What if I have questions?
You can call your local election authority. In Peoria County, call 494-8683; in Tazewell County, 477-2267; in Woodford County, 467-2822.
And if you have complaints about any perceived malfeasance or other concerns, you can call the Illinois State Board of Elections hotline in Springfield, (217) 782-4141. Calls there will be fielded from 5:30 a.m. until midnight.
Chris Kaergard can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 686-3255. Follow him on Twitter @ChrisKaergard.

Walter Langley
- For the New York politician, see Walter B. Langley.
Walter Langley (8 June 1852 – 21 March 1922) was an English painter and founder of the Newlyn School of plein air artists.
He was born in Birmingham and his father was a journeyman tailor.[1] At 15 he was apprenticed to a lithographer. At 21 he won a scholarship to South Kensington and he studied designing there for two years. The sometimes highly ornate work is mainly in gold and silver and in a Renaissance style. He returned to Birmingham but took up painting full-time, and in 1881 was elected an Associate of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. In the same year he was offered £500 for a year's work by a Mr Thrupp (a Birmingham photographer). With this money he and his family moved to Newlyn where he was one of the first artists to settle and began recording the life of the fishing community.[2]
Politically left wing for his era, he was noted for his social realist portrayals of working class figures, particularly fishermen and their families. He was a supporter of Charles Bradlaugh, a radical socialist politician. His own working-class background enabled him to identify with the villagers and the hardships they endured, many of his paintings reflect this sympathy with the working-class fisher-folk amongst whom he lived.[2] One of the best known works is the watercolour For Men Must Work and Women Must Weep (1883; Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) based on Charles Kingsley's poem The Three Fishers (1851). Another is Between The Tides (1901; Warrington Museum & Art Gallery).
Although one of the first to settle in the Newlyn artists' colony Newlyn School, Langley initially benefited little from its growing fame, partly because of his working-class origins and partly because until 1892 he painted largely in watercolour rather than the more prestigious medium of oils.[3] His early training in lithography gives his paintings a detail and texture that show his technical skills.
In 1884, Langley was elected a member of the RBSA and continued to exhibit widely throughout the UK and abroad.[2] Later in his career his reputation grew. One of Langley's paintings was singled out as "a beautiful and true work of art" by Leo Tolstoy in his book What is Art?,[4] while in 1895 Langley was invited by the Uffizi to contribute a self-portrait to hang alongside those of Raphael, Rubens and Rembrandt in their collection of portraits of great artists. Today his work is considered "vital to the image of the Newlyn School" and "alongside Stanhope Forbes ... the most consistent in style and substantial in output".[3]

1. India does not allow patenting an algorithm. Imagine doing business in a country that does not allow you to patent your intellectual property. You cannot patent an algorithm that is a proprietary code that makes things happen in a unique way. On the contrary, in the US and European countries, you can patent user experience and design. For technology start-ups, that is crucial because intellectual property, or IP, has a very strong role to play in a start-up's valuation when it is raising funds from investors. Venture funds will show little respect to such ventures that can't protect their software. The government should revisit that stance. Besides, the Indian patent office is not that well respected globally.
FULL COVERAGE:Union Budget 2015
2. It would be great if the government can set up a fund for start-ups to fight patent infringement cases abroad.
3. Technology start-ups like those in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry need to hire talent from abroad. Marketing talent in, say, the US is much more evolved than in India. The government should make it more affordable for such start-ups to hire talent from abroad with schemes such as paying a part of the salary of such recruits. Schemes like these already run well in countries like Singapore.
4. The Credit Guarantee Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises, or CGTMSE, has been around for several years and the mandate of the scheme is to give collateral-free loans to small businesses. Start-ups find it easier to deal with private banks than nationalised banks. CGTMSE, which runs with only half a dozen nationalised banks, should be extended to private banks as well.
5. Right now the regulatory regime is such that only large companies can provide services like VoIP and IP messaging services. The government should make it easier for small players to become Internet service providers. That will facilitate Internet penetration in areas where large companies are not able to reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
First five are statements released by The Society of Permanent Makeup Professionals.
Is it Tattooing?
With the sudden popularity and media attention to the term microblading, many are led to believe microblading is not a tattoo process. Permanent cosmetics, micropigmentation, dermal implantation, microblading/microstroking, eyebrow embroidery, and long-time/long-lasting makeup, are all different names for the same procedure – cosmetic tattooing.
Any time color is placed into the skin with any device, it is a tattoo process as defined by many well- informed regulators, the medical community, and dictionary sources. Denying this process is a tattoo can be problematic for those who would, for religious or other personal reasons, normally refuse to have a tattoo.
Is a blade being used to perform the microblading tattoo procedure?
Microblading is performed with a grouping or configuration of needles affixed to a handle to manually create lines that resemble eyebrow hairs. Manual methods of tattooing have been used through the ages, and the tools have gone through changes over time from pre-historic sharpened stones to the hand tool devices currently being used.
An actual scalpel or cutting-type blade should not be used under any circumstances as these are considered medical devices and cannot legitimately be used for this process. Any hand tool device (i.e, both handle and attached needles) used for microblading should be pre-sterilized and fully disposable.
Is it semi-permanent?
The reason microblading is often promoted as Semi-Permanent is because by nature less pigment is placed into the skin in the form of very fine lines which with skin reguvenation and fade out will disappear faster than other forms of Tattooing. However strictly speaking if the pigment is placed correctly into the upper Dermal layer of the skin it is impossible to predict how long it takes to fade out.
If pigment particles do not reach the dermis, they will disappear during the healing phase of the skin, during normal regeneration of cells at the epidermal level. Pigments do fade in the skin over time. It is impossible to predict how much pigment will fade away and how long it will take to do so with any measure of consistency or reliability.
Why does microblading not last as long as other eyebrow tattooing techniques?
Is there less training needed to learn microblading as compared to learning permanent cosmetics?
No; if someone is new to the industry and does not already have a minimum of 100 hours of training in permanent cosmetics, they need to have a similar amount of training in microblading, even if it is for just that one type of procedure. There are many areas of study when learning these techniques, which include facial morphology and bone structure, brow shaping and design, color analysis, color theory, proper handling of equipment, prevention of cross-contamination, as well as practice work and the opportunity to observe procedures before actually performing them under supervision.
Anyone interested in pursuing training in cosmetic tattooing, including microblading, should first check the verifying qualifications of the trainer.
How can I get more information?
You can also contact the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP) at email@example.com. Visit their website at www.spcp.org
So what is it that we actually do?
We do the Softap method of permanent makeup (no machines). This is the most natural look you will ever see in Permanent Makeup. It is the most gentle and least invasive form of cosmetic tattoo. Once the skin is numb colour pigment is gently tapped into the skin. This process rarely draws blood and causes little or no visible trauma to the skin. It is faster healing and less painful. Offering fine lines with Microblading or soft powdery effects for those who like fuller brows or colour placed behind eyebrow hair.
Will it hurt?
Topical anaesthetics are used to minimize any discomfort that you may feel.
We actually have clients fall asleep while getting their Brows done using our Softap technique of applying colour. Many clients say that it's similar to have their Eyebrows plucked.
The microblading technique is the latest technique for creating very fine hair strokes on the eyebrows. This method can cause more sensitivity and it's not appropriate for all skins types. Softap is definitely the more gentle form of cosmetic tattooing.
Please read our Client Testimonials.
How long does it last?
Permanent Makeup, like Permanent Hair Dye can and will fade.
You will need a minimum of two applications in the establishment stage.
You should expect to do colour refresh yearly. In some cases 6 monthly. Alopecia clients and clients with little or no hair generally require the six monthly touch ups.
Colour Touch ups will vary from client to client depending on the skins ability to hold and retain pigment and the amount colour applied to their skin. (the finer the line the faster it will appear to fade)
The darker the colour used and the more colour you put into the skin the longer it will appear to last.
The lighter the shade the faster it fades.
Medical Considerations?
The following medical conditions require special consideration, and need to be discussed before scheduling a micropigmentation procedure. Anything that affects the bodies ability heal.
- We do not recommend this procedure for any person who is currently being treated or medicated for an illness that compromises the immune system or body healing process.
- Diabetes. Healing could be compromised, higher risk of infection.
- Glaucoma. Increased intraocular pressure combined with pressure placed on the eye to apply eyeliner could be damaging.
- Bleeding disorders. Blood disorders that affect clotting such as haemophilia, sickle cell anaemia, platelet disorders.
- Mitral Valve Prolapse. Artificial heart Valves, Artificial Joints. Any condition that requires prophylactic antibiotics before dental or other procedures will need to take them before Micropigmentation also.
- Herpes Simplex. People who get fever blisters / cold sores may experience an outbreak after lip procedures. Antiviral prescription should be taken.
- Pregnancy or Breast Feeding, then the procedure should be postponed.
- Keloid or Hypertrophic Scaring. Persons with tendencies for this type of scaring have that risk with tattooing also.
- Use of certain Medications. Accutane / Retin-A, topical steroids can make the skin fragile. Anticoagulants (blood thinners), long-term use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and some herbs reduce clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising.
- Heart conditions. High blood pressure. Poor general health.
The above list of conditions serves as a guideline only and each client must be assessed individually prior to treatment.
What are the healing times?
Many clients return to work the same day
The hand tool method of applying colour to the skin is very gentle and you shouldn't expect any significant swelling or bruising. Eyes will feel a little puffy like you've been crying for the first 24 hours, but surprisingly they don't appear noticeably puffy. The skin will feel a little itchy over the next few days as the skin heals back to normal over the next 3-5 days.
Permanent makeup will appear more intense immediately after the procedure. The excess pigment is shed off over the next couple of days and colours will continue to soften over the next couple of months. It is possible for you to have Eyeline and Browline treatments and return to work the next day. Lips take longer to settle down initially.
You should not have a procedure immediately prior to departing for a holiday in consideration of the following:
- You will not look your best in the first few days following treatment.
- You may not be able to avoid sun, salt water, chlorine, hot spas, saunas or strenuous activity.
- If you have a question or problem it would be best to be near your micropigmentation technician and local doctor.
What pre-care is needed?
No Alcohol or caffeinated products 24 hours before treatment and no aspirin or blood thinning medications five days prior.
Pre Lashline procedures
- Eyelash perming or tinting should be done at least 48 hours prior to the procedure and not resumed until 2 weeks after. Before scheduling a Lash Line Enhancement with Micropigmentation. I encourage clients to have an eyelash tint, as the use of Mascara should be avoided after treatment to keep the skin clear of possible infection.
- Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following the eyeliner procedure. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to their pre-procedure condition.
- Driving a motor vehicle immediately after having eyeliner is not desirable as your eyes will have antiseptic ointment around them that may potentially come in contact with your eye and blur your vision.
- Delicate or sensitive areas may redden or swell slightly to the extent that you have been crying, therefore it is advised not to make social plans for the same day.
- Clients who have used Lash Growth Serums in the past may not be good candidates for Eyeline Pigmentation.
Pre Browline procedures
Tweezing or waxing in this area should be done 48 hours prior to treatment. Removing hair around the area of pigmentation can leave the skin more sensitive. If you require specialist shaping please advise at the time of booking as we need to allow time for this in addition to the Micropigmentation.
Pre Lipline
Things you will need to consider before proceeding:
If you get fever blisters / cold sores you may experience an outbreak after procedures. Antiviral prescription should be taken. Prepare by using Zovirax ointment 3 or four days prior to procedure.
Lips that have been injected with fillers may not hold colour well. Restylane injected superficially near the lip edge has caused migration or feathering to occur along the lip line. Lips that have been injected with liquid silicone risk disruption of the capsular formation holding the micro droplets in place due to stretching and pressure applied for the permanent lip colour procedure. Loss of liquid injectable silicone may occur, and all risks associated with free silicon applied if this happens. Lip implants may become infected if the lips acquire an infection. The mouth is full of germs and saliva will contact all the open holes made by the tattooing.
Lips swell quite a bit for 3 or 4 days and take about a week to go down completely. Lips may ooze the first couple of days, peel for a week and chapped for two weeks. During the peeling process it may seem like there is not much colour in the lips. The lip colour starts showing more after a couple of weeks when the healing and sloughing off process has finished.
Always with any Micropigmentation procedure, the colour chosen plus your underlying skin tone is what will determine the final colour. Colour can be added to at a later date with warmer or cooler shades to balance according to your desired look.
What is required for after-care?
A little pinking of the skin around the treated area can be expected immediately after treatment. This usually subsides within the hour. The time this takes to settle will depend on the sensitivity of the skin. Brows will look more obvious in the first few days until the skin has repaired over the pigment.
On the second or third days after treatment the skin begins to slough off some light fragments of the pigment as it repairs, and it may feel a bit itchy. Don't scratch it.
You'll need to apply the aftercare gel to keep the skin moist and protected while healing . Do this for 7-10 days.
Do not touch your eyebrows with your hands immediately after treatment.
Do not swim for 7 days or do vigorous exercise for at least 3 days.
Do not wear makeup on the treated area until completely healed.
Take care when cleansing your face for the first day. Do not ever use Retin-A or Alpha Hydroxy Acid cosmetics, as these products will remove the pigment colour from your eyebrows.
Do not expose to the sun, wear a sunscreen to protect your face.
Minor swelling and pinking of the skin on the lids immediately after treatment. The length of time this takes to settle varies from person to person. They usually settle down within 24 hours.
You can minimise puffiness on the eyelids when you get home by may placing cool damp cotton pads over your eyes. Take a few ice cubes from the freezer and place in a small bowl of water. Place a about 4 cotton rounds onto the ice soaking in the water. Then remove and squeeze off the excess water. Place the damp cotton pads onto the closed eyelids and lay down to rest for several minutes.
As the skin repairs you can expect some flaking off of the pigment during the healing process this will start the second to third day after treatment and be completed after five to six days. A small number of clients may experience crusting on the eyelids. Any skin abrasion may weep a little as it heals. Just gently wipe it with a damp cotton pad and reapply the aftercare gel. Brolene ointment may be used twice daily for the first couple of days.
Do not touch your eyelids with your hands immediately after treatment.
Do not swim for 7 days or do vigorous exercise for at least 3 days.
Do not use makeup near the eye area for 2 to 3 days. Take care when cleansing your face.
Pigment fading depends on the following:
- The skins ability to hold and retain pigment.
- The degree of flaking experienced during the healing process
- The natural fading rate of the particular pigments used
- The treated area will appear darker in colour when first treated, but approximately thirty to forty percent of the intensity will be lost during the healing process.
Do I need a patch test?
Patch testing is optional prior to treatment. If you are considering Lip micropigmentation then I always advise a patch testing.
The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals and the American Academy of Micropigmentation both set industry standards and neither body recommends patch testing as a way of clearly determining allergic reactions or colour changes in the skin. This is because although in the short term changes can take place, they may also take place much further down the track. Allergic reactions are extremely rare and none have been reported so far from the pigment manufacturers that I personally import from the USA.
Clients must bear in mind that there isn't a pigment made yet, that the sun can't fade. Colours will fade out over time and this gives you the option of adding to or changing the colour to suit your current needs.
The pigment should ideally be placed into the brow line area when considering a Brow treatment. Also a little spot in the hairline at the back of the head (like a freckle).
If the client has any sort of reaction immediately after patch testing a doctor can take a biopsy of the test patch in the hairline away from the face to determine if it is related to the pigment.

It's a well known fact that most people hate the "Men in Black" series after the second outing. Myself? I still enjoy it. Sure, Will Smith has become an overpriced action movie cliche but he fills the roll of J quite well. Tommy Lee Jones is great in the roll of K and I always look for to seeing more of it.
The second movie was a stretch but for me, I was able to over look this for how much I loved the first installment. As origin stories go, the introduction of J into the ranks of the Men in Black was great. In the second movie, we were given a nice chunk of back story to make K more of a full fledged and fleshed out character which was okay.
I wasn't aware iof a third MIB movie until almost last week, which came as a surprise. Even though I didn't mind it so much, I figured after the public outcry from "MIB 2", there was no chance of a third flick. Now, we even have a teaser trailer!
What do we learn from this tease? Not much. Agent J is still sassy. Agent K is still grumpy. The idea of Agent K going missing is worrisome as we already did 'Agent K goes on vacation' in the second movie and it didn't turn out so well. Mix in there a time travel plot and well...I'm officially putting my hopes on a guarded status. Time travel plots rarely work out well and with all the talk of script and budget problems, I don't have a lot of faith in them working out something clever here.
That little Josh Brolin stinger at the end will make you spout an expletive in the form of, "Oh sh!t" though!

Attention On The Double
- Brand: Spectrum Awakening
- Availability: In Stock
Is your child distracted or impulsive? Perhaps your child is sensory-seeking? Give them some Attention… On the Double!
Need help with focus, concentration, or ADHD? Attention On The Double is a natural amino acid supplement that supports normal production of dopamine. This brain chemical acts as a brain stimulant and helps a child focus, concentrate, and feel motivated. Healthy dopamine levels are associated with good focus, concentration, and our reward system. Without dopamine feeding the brain, people tend to feel anxious and seek input from other sources.
Some children are constantly seeking input. Our 'sensory-seekers', those who jump around from couch to couch, kids who love video games and electronics, are attempting to stimulate themselves when they lack their own chemical stimulus of dopamine.
Dopamine plays a vital role in helping us keep an appropriate focus on tasks, whether it be in a classroom, during homework, or at our house or job. The major ingredient of this product is tyrosine, which supports healthy levels of dopamine.
The other amino acid in this product is N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). This is a major component of glutathione, a potent antioxidant, necessary for repair of the brain and other body parts. (NAC is ONLY IN CAPSULES, POWDER CONTAINS IRON AND VITAMIN C, WITHOUT NAC)
Get healthy Attention and Focus quickly, with Attention On The Double.
Here are some research studies on dopamine and children
Recommended Dosing:
Try 2 caps in the morning, and 1 cap after school.
As with all of our products, Attention On the Double is Gluten/Dairy-Free.
Attention On the Double is approved by Generation Rescue and Autism Hope Alliance.

The Fiesta ST has been one of the better selling hatchbacks on the market thanks to its superb driving characteristics and great price. However, now that a new generation is one its way, Ford decided to offer something special for the ongoing model. The 2017 Ford Fiesta ST200 has been showcased a while back and it has been available for sale for a few months. It comes with quite a few improvements over the base model and Ford made less than 1,000 of them. This means that it is nearly as special as a Focus RS500 which was one of their more successful cars.
2017 Ford Fiesta ST200 In detail
The main reason Ford decided to offer a special edition for the car was to mark the end of this generation. The ST200 is, at its core, the same as the usual version.
However, with a few added parts the car is better to drive, faster and more powerful. The current Fiesta ST costs, in the US, $22,000. The ST200 on the other hand is not available here which is a shame.
There is a very good reason for that though. In the UK, the ST200 is more than £5,000 more than the regular ST which would translate to more than $7,000.
This would make the Fiesta ST200 more expensive than the Focus ST and it would not allow it to sell at all in the US.
In Europe people still bought the car mostly thanks to the fact it is a very limited edition model and its value is definitely going to hold better than that of the regular model.
The changes
For starters, even though the 2017 Ford Fiesta ST200 is based on the same platform as the regular ST, it does come with a few changes.
It uses stiffer shocks and lower springs which allowed Ford to drop the center of gravity by 15mm. This is quite substantial and it means that the ST200 drives more aggressively than before.
The side effect is the less than ideal ride quality but this is not as important in a car like this. The final drive ration has been shortened to 4.06 from 3.82 which means better in-gear acceleration but a lower top speed.
However, thanks to the changed made to the car's engine and gearbox, the ST200 is actually slightly faster than the older model. Larger disc brakes have also been installed, both in the front and at the back.
Under the hood
The engine is the same 1.6 liter turbocharged inline 4 as before. However, Ford tweaked it even further to provide 197 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque.
Also, for up to 15 seconds the engine will provide 212 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque which is a lot of power for a car this light.
Despite the added oomph, the Fiesta offers less torque steer and a more controllable power curve. This is mostly thanks to its suspension which also comes with thicker anti-roll bars and better bushings.
The exterior and interior – the same as before?
Luckily though, the 2017 Ford Fiesta ST200 also gets a few unique touches, inside and out. The exterior is only available in a Storm Grey color which is unique to this edition.
The wheels, while the same as on the regular model, come with black accents which further improve the look of the car. The interior is the same as before with an exception, the seats.
These are unique Recaro seats wrapped in leather with contrasting red and white stitching. The end result is something special for sure.
Also, the dashboard gets a small aluminum plaque with the ST200 badge and a number which numbers the particular car in the series. This will be the badge that will make the ST200 a future classic.

Science drinks – 22nd October
A rather low-key science drinks on this occasion, as the mid-semester break meant a number of people are away (including our Fearless Leader, who is swanning about in Finland right now). Stu and I were joined by Claudia, Gregor and Toby to discuss a diverse set of topics, ranging from where best to set up camp on Mull to why I have just ordered a pint of maggots through the internet. We also managed to talk some science, including a general discussion on the peer review process and how it works, as well as why it sometimes doesn't. Gregor outlined his plans for his project for the statistics module he's taking, in which he's hoping to do some work on random forests – a machine learning technique involving 'forests' of decision trees that is useful for 'small n large p' problems (that is, problems that are high-dimensional but have a low sample size). This means that Gregor will – like the best of us – get to spend the vast majority of his time glued to RStudio. Luckily for him, there is a wealth of information out there to help him get started. Even more luckily, it turns out that R users of random forest techniques also like to party.

Milk Supply Agreements (MSA) – Context and Comparison
Over the last few months, many dairy farmers have been asked, for the first time ever, to sign up to Milk Supply Agreements (MSA) committing them to supply milk to their co-op, and their co-op to purchase milk from them, with varying terms and conditions.
Many legitimately wonder "why do I need to do that now?". This is a question every co-op putting forward an MSA must answer to every farmer, and it is crucial that farmers would understand what they involve in great detail.
In December 2011, IFA issued a policy paper titled "Recommendations on the relationship between active shareholders and co-ops in the context of the post 2015 dairy expansion" which highlighted the need for clarity between farmers and processors on supply volumes. In early 2013, IFA produced a further policy paper: "Guiding principles for Milk Supply Agreements".
Since then, the National Dairy Committee has been involved in a co-op by co-op process of detailed briefing on and analysis of proposed MSAs, followed by feeding our recommendations to the co-ops concerned, in parallel to the normal democratic consultation process within the co-op itself.
IFA is in principle supportive of MSAs, provided they are developed after extensive consultation through the co-op democratic structure, they are fair and equitable, and very well understood by farmers.
The presentation below sets out the context for MSAs, and compares those currently in place or mooted under each of their main headings.
This is an update dated 5th February 2015 on an original document produced in July 2014. As MSAs are still evolving in some co-ops, we will continue to update this section from time to time.

I have these dreams….
Where I'm running..running and running…Away from something…someone. I don't know who or what.
All I know is I'm running for my life. To save myself.
I've had these same dreams since my childhood, since I can remember I've had it. Me running from someone, someone following me but the interesting part is I never get caught. Never.
Same dream over and over again just the scenarios are different now. It's around the same area. I'm running either around my childhood home, the area surrounding it where I grew up climbing walls, trees and what not.
Or the area where I'm residing now. Or the area between my old and new home.The area never changes. It's never the unknown. I always know where to run where to go.
When I was little, they were plain and simple, someone trying to catch me and me running for my life in a simple street around my old house. Now they have become much more complicated, The area where I'm running has expanded. Maybe now my subconscious knows of more area so it's between my old and new house. They are not very far. 10 minutes drive tops. Sometimes it's not just me there are some random people running with me too.
These are not nightmares. I won't call them as nightmares. It doesn't mean I don't wake up scared, my heart beating fast, disoriented but aren't nightmares suppose to be……I don't know much worse? Where you wake up screaming?
After spending 14 years in my childhood house, we shifted to this new house. In my 14 years in that house since I can remember I've had those dreams. Same thing over and over. When we shifted to the new house they kind of stopped…or I think they did. We've been here for 5 years now. The dreams started again last year
Now the dreams are much more…grand I would say. As I said now the area has expanded, between the area of my old and new house. I'm running… I can't get the running out of my head. The fear. The anticipation.
I'll have to admit the dreams are sometimes exhilarating ! I wake up and adrenaline is pumping through my veins but it is frustrating. Sometimes I feel physically and mentally exhausted. Why I was compelled to write about it after all these years was because I've had these dreams in succession since 3 days. Today was exceptionally different as when my eyes opened suddenly, my heart was beating so fast I thought it would explode out of my chest. It was as if I'd run a mile or two in reality. .My heart was literally hurting from beating so fast.
I've never mentioned my dreams to anyone except just once to my best friend. She took it to more spiritual side and said maybe it's some evil following you but the fact that you never get caught is it means that evil can't get to you. You are safe.
I don't understand why do I have these dreams? Do other people have it too? The running thing? Or is it just me? I think it is somehow connected to my childhood. I don't fully understand or understand it at all but I would like to know….I really want to know why I have these dreams. Is this even normal? Or am I going fucking crazy?
