With a DVD review of Riccardo Freda's The Ghost coming up shortly on the site, I thought it'd be a good time to point out the special Images Journal issue on the Golden Age of Italian horror. Lots of material there for the old hand and the uninitiated alike.Live anywhere near the American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theater? Then don't miss the 5th Annual Festival of Fantasy, Horror & Science-Fiction in August--just a portion of the schedule is up, and it looks just great. The real plum thus far is The Stone Tape. Im Kwon-Taek's latest film has been selected to compete at the Venice Film Festival, continuing a great recent run for the Korean film industry. And speaking of the Korean scene, it's time for Windstruck (with the same actress/director combo as the wonderful My Sassy Girl) to open its run. Plus, it's almost time for the Daejong Film Awards. Brit sci-fi magazine SFX has a Special Horror Issue, and they've conducted a poll to pick the Top 20 Horror Films of All Time. The list skews a little young, but it could be worse.
Today's birthday tribute from the world of classic porn is a sad and cautionary one: today would have been the 41st birthday of starlet Shauna Grant (born Colleen Applegate), but her life trip into sex films and cocaine addiction led her to commit suicide at the young age of 20. Her story has been covered by PBS and a TV movie, and the LA calendar devoted a whole tribute section to the woman who was Suzie Superstar--at least up until that self inflicted gunshot wound ended her existence on this mortal coil. (Sidenote: links should be work safe, but given the prurient subject matter caution is advised if this is a surfing consideration for you).
Henshin Online has a huge update on Ryuhei Kitamura's Godzilla: Final Wars, the upcoming flick for the giant lizard set.
For once, I'll post a link to an interview with the glorious Maggie Cheung, and I won't even use it as an excuse for a cheesecake jpeg. Just to show some restraint. Czech filmmaker Jiri Weiss passed away last month, but the Guardian has a recent obit on the late director. Via things magazine, one of the coolest blogs of all time, comes word of a great website devoted to the art of Ken Adam, the production designer for some of the most classic James Bond films.Valuable online rag Indiewire wraps Cannes, hitting some highlights. I'd love to see that Kiarostiami doc, and the Hong Sangsoo and David Gordon Green pics seem pretty intriguing as well. As if the release slate for the digital disc couldn't get any more loaded, the inimitable Don May Jr shows up at MHVF to detail a slew of Swedish sex films from the Seventies that his company will be releasing. Looks like a good selection of Euro-prurience, from the Harry Reems Guy de Maupassant piece Bel Ami to the Christina Lindberg/Stellan Skarsgaard(!) vehicle Anita aka Swedish Nymphet.
Wired magazine has a lengthy cover story on the phenomenally successful Pixar Animation Studios. If there's one segment of the world of cinema that remains as good as its ever been it's in animation (though I'll tell you, watching my Chronological Donald DVD, the quality of the late thirties Disney work is hard to surpass, though you do have to allow for the annoying wholesomeness factor) and there's no one better at the CGI animation scene than the people working for Steve Jobs' cartoon factory. A couple of new tidbits are out for the pending followup(s) for The Eye by the Pang Brothers. The Eye2 official site is live, and though Shu Qi is no Angelica Lee when it comes to acting talent, there's no arguing that she has her own attributes.
VCI Entertainment has given their site a bit of a pastel makeover (at least since the last time I visited, which I'll admit was some time ago) and they've got some interesting upcoming disks. There's a Popeye Collector's Edition with some of the great cartoons from the Max Fleischer Studio; they've just released Lady Ice, a Donald Sutherland heist pic I know next to nothing about; and then there's the real gem: in August the company will release Luis Bunuel's The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. Good stuff. Today's non-film horse racing note: congrats to Skip Away (as well as Shug, Kent and Flawlessly) for being elected to The Racing Hall of Fame.
Once again swiping a pointer from the boards at MHVF (thanks to Chas Lindsay), the news comes that the film Worst Case Scenario has a trailer up. (click the "Promo Reel" link). It's really revenge and zombie fever out there in horror filmland--so let's all take a minute now and ponder what that means for the cultural zeitgeist of the globe....Y'know, just the other day--as I was suffering through the interminable League of Extraordinary Gentlemen--I was thinking how it's probably time that someone dust off The Picture of Dorian Gray for a remake. And then, lo and behold, there it was. But they'll never find a cad like George Sanders, who was, if nothing else, a guy who really knew how to leave a suicide note.
Variety reports that Taka Ichise, the producer behind many of Japan's most notable recent fright films, is launching a six-movie package called J-HORROR THEATER, with Lions Gate handling distribution for all worldwide territories except Japan. The movies (titles and storylines to be announced) will be directed by a Who's Who of the country's top terror talent, including Hideo (RINGU) Nakata, Takashi (JU-ON) Shimizu, Kiyoshi (PULSE) Kurosawa and, making his debut at the helm, RINGU series scripter Hiroshi Takahashi.
Midnight Eye has a couple recent entries: reviews of Kamikaze Girls and The Taste of Tea, as well as an interview with Ryuhei Kitamura and a tribute to Tomio Aoki.A Cannes note or two: Sud Pralad aka Tropical Malady by Apichatpong Weerasethakul becomes the first Thai film to win a Special Jury Prize. Korea's Old Boy cops an award as well. Not to mention that Japanese teenager Yuya Yagira took home the Best Actor prize. In fact, Asian films overall fared quite well this year. And I would also be quite remiss if I didn't point out that the world's greatest living actress won the Best Actress award.
Want the complete rundown on what's coming up in Korean cinema, complete with links to trailers and all sorts of other fun stuff? Well, then go here. Some films with potential there, for sure.
Well, whaddya know. 2046 actually got screened at Cannes, and appears to be odds-on for the Palme d' Or. Wong Kar-wai is either a great perfectionist, or a great marketer. Nothing like making your audience die of anticipation for four years....and it'll probably still be some time before we see it Stateside. Here's hoping his next film shows up a little quicker'n this one. This is a few weeks old at this point, but I just noticed that Don May, Jr. has updated the Synapse news page with a whole bunch of street dates for their upcoming DVD's. I'll admit that I had been curious as to what was happening with some of these titles (and I still think that it's too bad that Thriller--aka They Call Her One Eye--was unable to capitalize on its Kill Bill association), so I'm glad to hear they've got a cool distributor now. I'm so happy I won't even wonder why Singapore Sling seems to be missing. Nope, I won't.
John Harkness updates things from Cannes--and I especially like this bit about Miramax:
They got a few of us out of our regularly scheduled screenings to see Hero, which they are finally releasing. They promised a 109-minute cut of the film. The print screened was the same 98-minute cut of the film that I've had on a Chinese DVD for about six months
Via the valuable Masters of Cinema comes a couple of quality screenshots from the upcoming New Yorker DVD release of my favorite Robert Bresson film, Lancelot du Lac.By way of the Creature Corner comes word that the werewolf flick Romasanta has a trailer up on its official web page. Aroooooooooo.China Daily interviews Tony Leung, and there's this chestnut there:
Nevertheless, Leung has no Hollywood ambitions himself, he says. Offers come his way from the US, Europe and Australia, but nothing has felt quite right. "If Scorsese called me up, though, I would say yes - no matter what."
There's another remake coming down the pike, this time of The Crazies. It's too bad that George Romero has such a hard time getting money to make his own new films, while all the time Hollywood is tossing cash at people to reimangle the films he created thirty years ago.
Tarantino and Madsen to team up for a low budget biker movie? Interesting...(hat tip to Marty McKee!)Darcy Paquet, Korean film guy par excellence (and writer for film mag Screen International, whose formerly free website arm Screen Daily I miss dearly ), is filing reports directly from Cannes this year. There's some sort of prudish squawking going on at Cannes over the debut of Michael Winterbottom's Nine Songs, since it reportedly has some (gasp!) graphic sex in it. The way people are waving their arms around, you'd think that Lasse Braun's Sensations hadn't already covered this ground nearly thirty years ago. Lots o' stuff about Azumi 2 over at the Shusuke Kaneko Information Website. Check it out.Good ol' Hong Kong Entertainment News....they gave me the scoop on Flying Daggers, the new Zhang Yimou film that's playing at Cannes. Not only are there some pictures to look at from the flick, there's also the soul-saving news that Sony Classics will distribute it, thus likely saving us from the endless Miramax runaround and ensuring that we'll probably get to see it in its proper form in a reasonable time. The woo. And the hoo.
Went by the DVD Drive-In this weekend, and along with the other tidbits there (like the cover art for the Freaks and Night Stalker DVD's), they had a link to the new Poker Industries DVD production arm, Subversive Cinema. Now I know I badmouthed these guys customer service last week (and was most happy buying the My Young Auntie DVD at YesAsia instead of their online store), but this looks pretty promising.I was so damned busy this weekend that I didn't even get my BOP column done, nor did I really even keep up with the news from Cannes or the final day of e3. Catching up: Ebert in France! A.O. Scott and the protesters! e3 drowns in sequels! Paper Mario 2 walkthrough! Doom III! (No, I don't have an Xbox--but given the id penchant for taking forever to release games, I'm hoping they'll be 99$ by the time it hits the shelves....) Zelda roundtable!Let's make no mistake: for an inveterate horse racing fan like myself, this weekend was all about Smarty Jones in the Preakness. There's been five other horses who've gone for the Triple Crown in recent years, but of all those only War Emblem oozed greatness, and he went and nearly face planted at the start of the Belmont so we'll never be sure if he could have done it without the stumble. Smarty has seemingly gotten better every time out; he's got tactical speed and the ability to make more than one run during the course of a race; and he's undefeated for his career. Anyway you slice it, he's a very special horse. Here's hoping.
I'm not sure if they're throwing around useless buzzwords like "synergy" about this one yet, but Universal and NBC are merging. With any luck, they'll have a better time of it than AOL-Time Warner. But don't count on it. Today's e3 raves from yesterday: Sly Cooper 2! Tiny amounts of plot detail from GTA: San Andreas! Ratchet and Clank 3! Pikmin 2! Viewtiful Joe II! (Tired of sequels yet? I sure am. I miss the days of announcements about groundbreakers like Jet Grind Radio or Seaman or Animal Crossing. Sigh). And now if only I could get a domestic release of the best selling Japanese game, Derby Stallion 04, my life would be complete. For now, I guess I'll just settle for watching Smarty Jones in the Preakness on Saturday.Y'know, I'm quite sure that there's some interesting films and such being shown over at Cannes...but the red carpet is really where you want to be, not stuck in some decrepit theatre with a bunch of hoi polloi and snooty critics. A case in point:
A quick trip around the world at the Cannes opening: the media in Korea, China, Canada, Germany, Japan, Spain and the United States weigh in on the affair.Tilda Swinton will be playing the White Witch in the Disney version of The Chronicles of Narnia. And speaking of the mouse house, they had good earnings last quarter, even though they sort of choked at the box office. Thank god for DVD's, eh Mikey? Initial e3 returns aren't all that that exciting as yet, but a Paper Mario 2 release date and some Zelda screenshots will have to suffice for now.
Programs.....getcher programs here.....can't tell the players without a program. The Guardian's Steve Rose outlines some of the big players at Cannes. The Globe and Mail weighs in on the fest as well.Guillermo del Toro's next film sounds very promising, especially to those of us who prefer his smaller films.Today's e3 opening should rain all sorts of news down on hapless videogamers...in that spirit, have a go at the preview for the Ubisoft followup to their excellent Prince of Persia update. There should be much more to come on the console front in the next couple of days.A tip of the hat to the always excellent Hong Kong Entertainment News in Review that hipped me to this page of pics from 2046 and Clean (and a couple other films, as well).
Here's an e3 post that crosses over into the film world: check out Gamespy's preview of the new Peter Molyneaux game The Movies.
What could be better than a kernel32 dll error that wipes out the blog entry you took 45 minutes getting together? (And yes, that'll teach me to use the "save as draft" thingie at blogger). Here's the highlights from the lost post:
The Grey Lady profiles former XXX star Sharon Mitchell and details her role today as porn industry health watchdog. Via the excellent noir film bulletin board The Blackboard comes a link to an interview with crime film maven Eddie Mueller, whose books are certainly aces.Check out this website for a new Vietnamese ghost movie.The Telegraph chats with the always interesting Guy Maddin.
I don't usually post on the weekends, but this story about a Canadian parliament argument over how to pronounce Gina Lollobrigida's name is just too cherce to pass up.
The apparent mispronunciation prompted Human Resources Minister Joe Volpe to yell: "It's Gina Lollobrigida, idiot!" Opposition MP Jason Kenney hit back, saying he was sorry for "offending the ageing sex-kitten community". Mr Volpe later told reporters he too had some regrets over the row. "I'm sorry I called him an idiot. I should have referred to him as an imbecile," he said.
In the past, I've always had good things to say about Poker Industries....but given a nightmare transaction with them in attempting to purchase a recent Shaw Brothers disk (coupled with an amazing lack of response by their "customer service" to my inquiries about said order), I'm seriously thinking of switching my Asian DVD buying to HK Flix or Layoyo exclusively. You would've though that buying hundreds of dollars of stuff from a vendor would be enough to at least get an answer for your questions....but in the case of Poker, you'd be wrong. The website of Erica Gavin (she of Caged Heat and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) appears to be getting an overhaul. (Hat tip to Robert L. Watson for pointing this out).Rest in peace, Gilbert Lani Kauhi aka Zulu. The man best known as Kono from Hawaii Five-0 has passed away. This seems like an opportune time to pay tribute to our fallen hero and get season one of this great 70's cop show out to DVD, methinks.
Mike Mariano breaks out some cool old shots from Hammer's The Vampire Lovers.Since there's no Celestial releases of Shaw Brothers flicks this month, why don't you just take a deep breath and catch up with an updated release list of the year's planned disks? Though me, I'm still waiting for Poker Industries to get it together so I can watch My Young Auntie. Grrrrr.Some nice new additions to the Criterion Coming Soon page. Especially of note is Renoir's The Golden Coach (I'm still working my way through the Rules of the Game SE, and lemme tell ya--it's aces) and Marcel Carne's Port of Shadows.Thanks to Tom Mes at MHVF for pointing out this great French site on Meiko Kaji. It's even got some of her songs--though I wish my grasp of the Gallic was a bit better.
In today's entertainment is politics segment, we find that Disney is blocking Miramax from distributing Fahrenheit 911, a film critical of Bush's relationship with the Saudi royal family. Poor Harvey!Cool pointer at Mondo Digital to a Bardot/Gainsbourg 60's release that I had never even previously heard of.Filmfreak wraps up Hotdocs, a Canadian festival of nonnarrative film that just wrapped this past weekend.The new Sight and Sound has a nice piece on demonlover, as David Thompson reassesses his initial impressions of the movie. There's also a brief interview with filmmaker Assayas as well. (Not to mention that the initial item references a film that could really stand to get a US DVD release: Lodge Kerrigan's Claire Dolan.
The bedroom scenes in Bae Yong-joon's Scandal are firing up some controversy in Japan. Meanwhile, the Korea Film Archive is sponsoring a show of thirteen erotic films from the 60's through the 80's.With Cannes on the horizon, writers have begun to pore over the program pointing out some of the potential highlights. While I'm sure excited about 2046, at this point I believe that the Maggie Cheung vehicle Clean (directed by Frenchman Olivier Assayas) is at the top of my hitlist. (not that I'll be seeing it for a year or so....)
Creature Corner points out the new trailer for the film Open Water. Sharky.Godzilla to die in Shanghai? Say it ain't so!A crazed Japanese fan of actress Ryoko Hirosue has been arrested for a threatening email wherein he said that the "iron hammers of god" would rain down on the star's husband. Ouch.

The last 5 weeks have been the worst I can remember in my 54 years. I wouldn't wish this emotional roller coaster on my worst enemy, if I had one. No one should ever have to go through this. Sadly though, it is part of the price we pay for living and loving.
For years he had dealt with fairly severe short term memory loss, which was extremely frustrating for him. He had been a well known and highly respected businessman. Not having a reliable memory made it virtually impossible for him to work any longer. That was unacceptable to him, so he'd find ways to mentor others. When he spoke to someone he was correct in the information he was giving. It was just that a few minutes later, he likely would not remember what had been said and he'd have the same conversation again. This weighed heavily on him.
We had always thought that it was his memory that would end his life as he was quite emphatic that he did not want to keep living if he didn't have his mind.
Heart problems appear to run in the family as two of his siblings had heart attacks. One passed over 20 years ago and the other had had two bypass surgeries.
Dad was active and rarely ate red meat. He loved salads of all kinds. He took cholesterol-lowering meds and saw a cardiologist regularly. It's probably why he lived to be 82 without any previous serious heart issues. So news that he needed bypass surgery came as a surprise.
His scorecard rating for risk of dying in the bypass surgery was as low as a much younger person. His percentage for co-morbidities, including severe complications or death from those, was a low 10%. I was there in the room when the doctor went over it with him. He understood the risks but there were no other options.
Stenting was not possible as one blockage of the 4 he had was in a spot that if something went wrong placing it, would kill him then and there.
Doing nothing was not an option because he could have had a massive stroke or heart attack at any time. Ones that may not have killed him but rather left him in a vegetative state.
So after reviewing the odds and options he chose surgery. I'm quite sure if he had known the end result of these last 5 weeks he might have made a different choice.
He had so many complications that I'm not sure I even remember them all. Many of you have followed my Twitter updates on the subject. If you did read them, you know it was quite a ride. Going forward one day and then next going several steps backward.
Ultimately, we decided that he, as we knew him, wasn't coming back and that his physical body had enough and was giving out and giving up.
Mercifully, it didn't take long after they removed everything for him to pass.
So now we rely on our memories of him. His DNA lives on in my sister and me, along with our children.
Bye daddy…see you someday on the other side.

Stop Smoking Resources Online – How They Could Help You To Stop
A big percentage of the global population may be considered as lifelong smokers, as well as their habit is something which has to be managed at the earliest time. Smoking holds a lot of health hazards and also impacts the people in your life. If you are a cigarette smoker, chances are you have tried out everything to quit smoking and neglected. You could understand your goal to become a non-smoker in the event that you use cease smoking instruments on the internet. This informative article talks about the reasons why you must quit using tobacco straight away and the stop smoking online device you could use to achieve your target.
A good deal was said concerning the health threats that you'll be up against should you go on dragging on cigarettes, but you need to also keep in mind that second-hand smoke is a cause of death among non smokers. Many scientific studies have shown that secondhand smoke (regardless of whether you use cigarettes inside or outside) is hazardous and actuates diseases like lung cancer. It's one thing to put your self in risk, and another to hurt the folks that you adore and care about. This can be among the answers for why smoking today has an negative reputation; it has alienated individuals from several social organizations and developed new national laws with regard to cigarette smoking in public spaces.
In the event that you're a parent, your kids and daughters need to serve as the most effective determination for you to quit smoking. Whenever they observe you using tobacco, they'll suppose that it is fine to allow them to smoke cigarettes, too. Being conscious of the risks that have smoking, you need to lead by example and counsel your youngsters to steer clear of smoke stays, subsequently persuade them that you're with the capacity of quitting smoking. That is the greatest factor that one could do for the kids.
Not Economical
Additionally, smoking is an expensive vice. You can buy a cigarette pack for an inexpensive cost, but looking in the accrued cost every year may show you that you're actually shelling out an excessive amount of cash on smokes and that you can spend that money on additional other activities. What is more, it will not really help the selling price of cigarette cartons keeps rising; this may have an effect in your yearly expenditures. Here's an excellent illustration: maintaining your smoking habit is similar to producing home loan repayments. You also should think about the disagreeable odor that's associated with smoking. Not merely does it stick to your own hair and garments and trigger foul breath, it also smells up your home, car and all of the other areas you like to smoke cigarettes in. The terrible scent is going to result in additional expenditures for air fresheners, perfumes, breath mints and stuff like that.
Just speaking, you'll find nothing positive about cigarette smoking. So much as the ethnic facet has switched unfavorable; smoking might have been regarded as a great task in earlier times, but maybe not anymore.
So many people have previously stopped smoking cigarette, and you also can do it also.Today, you have several options that might help you prevail over the habit and one of it is electronic cigarette. You can buy it from electronic cigarette store in melbourne city. Once you've taken the very first step and decided to stop tobacco use for good, e-cigarette can help you achieve your goal and remain cigarette-free.

As the next millennium approaches, global economic institutions increasingly resemble those that characterized the laissez-faire era of a century ago. Most representative of this transformation is the return to a self-regulating market system, as countries open their borders to unfettered trade while slashing social welfare programs to become more competitive.
Perhaps the most controversial response to increasing globalization is the European initiative to create a more comprehensive economic and political union. The culmination of this effort is the European Monetary Union (EMU), which will replace national currencies with the euro by January 2002. Advocates of this program argue that the use of a single currency will stimulate trade and capital flows by eliminating exchange rate risk among EMU members and by lowering transactions costs, enabling Europe to become an economic power that will rival the United States and Japan.
Until recently, much of the discussion on European monetary unification focused on whether enough countries would meet the budgetary and financial requirements to proceed with the first stage of implementation in 1999.(1) By October 1997, however, significant progress by several nations in meeting the convergence criteria and a promise by officials to be flexible when selecting the "first wave" participants by mid-1998 almost guarantees the transformation will take place as scheduled.(2)
Because of these developments, policymakers must now consider whether the agreement should be modified to increase the likelihood of the regime's success. By considering monetary unification in a social and political context suggested by Karl Polanyi [1957], this paper recommends that a federal fiscal authority be established to address labor and social welfare issues. The reason for this proposal is an anticipated shift of uncertainty from capital to labor that may accompany currency unification. Although firms possess the means to manage exchange rate uncertainty, the requirements for membership in the EMU will leave policymakers with few options to address labor s insecurity.(3) Consequently, the current strategy for monetary union is misguided since it will lead to what Polanyi [1957, 132] described as the double movement, in which voters will pressure policymakers to adopt protective mechanisms in response to a further expansion of the self-regulated market. Unless European leaders can effectively respond to this uncertainty and obtain labor's support for the euro, increasing agitation for political solutions will undermine the credibility of the regime and eventually lead to its collapse.(4)
Monetary Unification, Efficiency, and Growth
Despite their inability to coordinate economic policies as required by the European Monetary System, members of the European Union (EU) committed themselves to monetary integration by signing the Maastricht Treaty in December 1991. The provisions of this agreement call for fixing exchange rates and delegating the responsibility for monetary policy to the European Central Bank (ECB) by January 1, 1999, and replacing national currencies with the euro by January 2002. To be eligible for membership, countries must achieve convergence on government budget deficits, inflation, and exchange rates.(5) Currently, only Luxembourg meets the criteria spelled out in the Agreement.(6)
EMU supporters argue for monetary unification on both practical and theoretical grounds. European business leaders predict that the use of a single currency will enable them to increase their exports to other EU countries by lowering transactions costs and eliminating exchange rate risk. Politicians expect the euro will help further economic and political integration, which will prevent economic domination by other nations. Moreover, classical economic theory contends that inappropriate currency values distort prices and limit the realization of gains from specialization and exchange. Finally, advocates argue that currency unification will help promote global economic growth by further integrating capital markets.

BMC polls: NCP and Congress will not forge a pre-poll alliance, will go solo
The Congress says it will go by the popular opinion of party workers who wanted to contest separately
Sanjay Nirupam, Mumbai Congress president said they had decided on going solo much earlier (right) Mumbai NCP president Sachin Ahir said his party did not want to wait for other parties to join them
The NCP and Congress will not forge a pre-poll alliance for the BMC polls. The NCP on Thursday announced its first list of 45 candidates saying that it will not wait for any other party, but will consider a non-Congress third front to be floated by some parties.
Congress said it would go by a popular opinion of party workers who wanted to go solo in the polls and give a strong fight to corrupt parties.
"It was decided much earlier because ground level workers want it. We are a democratic party and we go by majority decision," said Sanjay Nirupam, Mumbai Congress President.
Mumbai NCP president Sachin Ahir said his party did not want to wait for other parties to join hands with them. "We hear that the Peasants and Workers Party's Jayant Patil is trying to float a non-Congress third front for the BMC polls. We may think of joining the front if we get a suitable deal," he said.
NCP's candidates are from all categories and some of them are relatives of established leaders as well. It's a combination of qualified men and women including professionals. The subsequent list of NCP candidates will be declared later.
The Congress is still working on modalities as it is infested by groupism and it may take long for the leadership to decide names for 227 wards.
The BJP and Sena are working separately and are unlikely to go into a pre-poll pact. Sources said the high-level talks between the BMC partners may start soon officially. The unofficial talks have borne no fruits as the BJP wants at least equal share in total seats.
The code of conduct for the BMC polls is expected to come in force between January 7 and 10. The voting will be held in the second week of February.

Northern Ireland leads nations and regions in full fibre race
The broadband picture in Northern Ireland is changing and now seems to be at the forefront of the full fibre race. The nation has a combined FTTP coverage of 11.67% which is a mixture of Openreach GEA-FTTP and Virgin Media Project Lightning.
Northern Ireland has jumped ahead due to finding both more rural FTTP which is helping to boost the superfast coverage levels but also a lot more commercial roll-out with VDSL2 areas seeing widespread overlay of FTTP. The Openreach GEA-FTTP coverage currently stands at 8.45% of premises.
We believe there is more FTTP to be found as there are plenty of areas in Northern Ireland we have not checked yet.
This increase in coverage has also had an impact on the UK wide picture, since as of this morning we have 683,990 premises of Openreach FTTP in our statistics which when combined with the G.fast footprint of 1,364,376 premises is an Openreach ultrafast footprint of 2,048,366 premises. The FTTP footprint has grown from 654,357 on 7th January which is a rate of 15,000 per week.
Are these countryside fibre connections all FTTPoD?
These are all GEA-FTTP/WBC-FTTP and not FoD connections
Talk Virgin may come out to where I live later this year. I have tried with BT but they won't budge even though they lay FTTP behind me (although a different exchange)
Fingers crossed better news this year. FTTPOD was a 39K quote so didn't bother with a survey.
Great to see the rate of rollout increasing, in line to over double FTTP number this year, if it keeps going up we may even treble numbers to hit 2m.
NuttyMucker if you're in Craigavon or Lurgan you're right.
I have been privvy to the VM expansion map and all the main areas of both will be covered.

DiLucia back at helm of Aspen's Hotel Jerome
ASPEN – The man long considered the heart and soul of the Hotel Jerome's modern era has been rehired as the general manager.
Tony DiLucia will take the helm of Aspen's iconic hotel Nov. 1. He was hired by Auberge Resorts, which takes over management of the Hotel Jerome the same date.
Eric Calderon, chief operating officer of Auberge, said he knew whom he wanted as general manager as soon as Auberge inked a deal in September to take over the management contract.
"I chased him from the get-go," Calderon said. The men are friends and were friendly competitors for years while Calderon was general manager of The Little Nell hotel in Aspen.
Calderon said there were several well-qualified candidates for the position, but DiLucia was the favorite because of his past success at the hotel and his keen awareness of the Hotel Jerome's important role in the town.
"He was by far my top choice," Calderon said.
DiLucia, 49, worked at the Hotel Jerome as an apprentice in 1986, then started there full time in April 1988. He advanced from director of catering to assistant food and beverage director to director of sales and marketing.
In February 1992 he was promoted to general manager. He held the position until RockResorts, a subsidiary of Vail Resorts, decided not to retain him when it took over the management contract in May 2007. Many of the staff in place at the time departed once DiLucia wasn't retained.
"It was very easy to say 'yes,' and at the same time it was a difficult decision," DiLucia said of his return.
It was easy to say "yes," he said, because of the chance to work with Auberge and, specifically, Calderon and Auberge principal and CEO Mark Harmon. He said he probably wouldn't have accepted the position with another management company. He is confident that his vision aligns with Auberge's vision.
It was also easy to take the position because of his affection for the Hotel Jerome and appreciation of the hotel's place in Aspen history. It has been a centerpiece of town since it was completed in 1889.
"It's so hard to put into words what the place means to me," DiLucia said.
The difficult part in accepting the position was the effect on his current position. After leaving the Hotel Jerome, DiLucia pursued a career in real estate sales. That was about six months before the recession hit, but DiLucia said he has thrived in the new job despite the economic slowdown, and he enjoys it. He is a partner in Aspen Associates Realty Group.
Nevertheless, he said he had to take the position with the hotel: "Sometimes in life, events choose you instead of vice versa," he said.
DiLucia will stay involved with his real estate firm and in sales after he rejoins the Hotel Jerome.
DiLucia said it is too soon for him to talk about any specific changes he will make at the Jerome. In general, he intends to rekindle the relationship with the community. DiLucia didn't want to comment on management at the Jerome in the 4 1/2 years since he was let go. Many observers feel the hotel management lost touch with Aspenites during a period of turnover in ownership and under RockResorts' tenure.
"There has to be a connection to the locals," DiLucia said. "You have to embrace the locals at all levels."
One goal is to get locals comfortable with the J-Bar again as a favorite watering hole. Tourists like to go where the locals like to go, DiLucia noted. In his earlier tenure as general manager, he was proud that his staff treated locals and visitors alike. All were welcome.
Another goal is to resurrect the ballroom's stature as a hub of community activity. One way of doing that is to create the best banquet food and service possible, and make it consistent, DiLucia said.
He also said he looks forward to nurturing a tight-knit staff. "I ran the hotel like a big family. The staff was everything," DiLucia said.
In summarizing his expectations, DiLucia said, "I would love it to be what it was when I left 4 1/2 years ago."
Calderon said DiLucia's skills are unique: "He has a passion for business and the Jerome in particular," Calderon said. "He's seen the hotel rise and fall. He's hung in there through thick and thin."
Calderon expects DiLucia's appointment to be popular with people knowledgeable about the Jerome. "Hopefully Tony will attract some of his loyal supporters," Calderon said.
One of DiLucia's duties will likely be overseeing a renovation. Calderon said all 94 rooms will be renovated and some public places will be "refreshed." That could happen as soon as the end of next summer, he said, and will require a brief closure.

Booking Day!
Unfortunately we were a little too late in booking this trip and missed out on our first choice B&B in Iceland, Minna-Mosfell Guesthouse. I'm SUPER bummed about that because I was really looking forward to staying at this place and letting Stink meet some Icelandic horses. So I'm back to the drawing board on finding accommodations in Iceland and this time I think I'll stick with what's on Expedia because I have a $25 reward certificate that I need to use. That means having to increase my budget a bit since Minna-Mosfell was ridiculously cheap but I was under budget on our flights so it all balances out.
So the next few days will be spent re-researching hotels near Reykjavik, booking a rental car and getting ready for our trip to D.C. in less than 2 weeks. I'm so excited to start traveling again!

Shot Week, Day 3, The Diablita
As anyone knows, a week on this blog equals, usually, three posts (sue me if that seems wrong—my lawyers are at the bar). Which means, sadly, Shot Week is already coming to an end. Be sure you read Shot Week Day 1 and Shot Week Day 2 to get the full story. But the basics are thus: cocktail genius and genuinely nice fella Andrew Bohrer has a delicious new book out, called The Best Shots You've Never Tried. It's bringing the idea of the shot, a shorter drink, to a higher plateau. Instead of shots thrown down the throat rapidly so-as to avoid tasting them, the shots in his book are ones to savor and share. So, quit pussyfooting around—buy the book. If Shot Week so far wasn't enough to sway you, check out the below recipe for the diabolical Diablita, which you should consume rapidly to ensure the devil doesn't enter your mouth.
1 ounce reposado tequila
.25 ounce crème de cassis
.25 ounce lime juice
2 ounces ginger beer
1. Pour ingredients into a shot glass and slam.

Today, there's a book that's been building a team of successful people around the world. The team of successful people is a network of readers whose feedback have remained frankly remarkable. They have transformed themselves into an epitome of success by studying and practicing the principles outlined in the book. The book titled Personal Development with Success Ingredients written by Mo Abraham is a step-by-step guide for success, wealth, and happiness and the formula are by far tried and proven.
The 12-in-1 book covering over fifty topics on Health & Mental Development, Personal & Social Development, and Financial Development was written with the sole aim of illuminating the minds of those who are disappointed at so-called 'success books' as many of them are only theoretical and somewhat not applicable in a different localized setting and hence, not workable. But Personal Development with Success Ingredients is a book embracing principles which are very much universal and can be found in virtually everyone. It's also like a whole library of knowledge, wisdom, key secrets and more packed into one book. For those wondering where the real secret of success can be found, it can be surely found in this book.
The book was written by Mo Abraham, an experienced entrepreneur who has gained success by applying these same principles in his own life and business. He was a former merchant navy officer who also worked in big telecommunication companies occupying very high positions until he set up his own business in 2003. Like everyone else, Mo Abraham was also faced with the same struggle everyone faced but overcame those using strategic universal laws which he has hidden in the pages of this great book.
The principles are affluently assuring and guarantee a life-changing experience. The book was initially sold for $77 and the good-news is that the author has chosen to make a special offer of $47 so that anyone can have the alluring experience this book has to offer. The massive book contains over 900 pages of LIFE-TRANSFORMING information that have been proven to work for thousands and thousands of successful people around the world today.

If someone says, hey, you know, this long weekend let's go skydiving, I would say, are you nuts? I'd just as soon sit down and have a cup of tea. -- Rick MercerHow come the word "weekend" has the word "end" in it? For me, weekends are just the beginning... a time to relax and enjoy doing the things I don't get time to do during the work week. And this being a long weekend (it's Thanksgiving here in Canada) is even better: more time to do more stuff... or to focus seriously on doing nothing.
Heh, like that ever happens with my non-stop brain.
It seems that my yarn hobby is still mostly a weekend hobby. It's not that I haven't tried to knit during the week. I carry my knitting with me in a bag to and from work in the hopes that I'll find the time and the space to knit a few stitches, but all I've done is clock a bunch of extra miles on the knitting bag. By the time I get home in the evening and do all my chores before bedtime, I'm just too dull and sleepy to risk knitting.
As my friend, dkzack, says, "Friends don't like tired friends knit."
So, weekend knitting continues. Currently, the project looks like this:
When I looked at this photo, I was startled by how much it reminded me of a photo I took during a little lunch time jaunt to a nearby park. I guess it really must be an autumn sweater:
But weekend knitting is being seriously compromised by the great weather we've been having. If the forecast is for sunshine (or for a mostly dry day), that triggers the lets-get-outta-here response in us. Today, we decided to go out and explore Cowichan Bay, which is only a few minutes' drive from us. We've been there before on a beautifully foggy day, but we decided to see what it is like in the sunshine.
So we arrived, had some lunch (fish and chips for the hubby, and Thai chicken salad for me), and then we explored. We poked around in the local bakery and the local cheese shop next door. Since we had Rascal with us, we took turns going in. I didn't even mind waiting outside with such a pretty display to admire:
I am totally going to try making this "flower bread" sometime.
We walked along to water and drank in the sunshine:
Rascal loves the sun, but being the fluffiest of us, he got a tad overheated and needed a break in the shade:
So, that was Saturday. I've decided that I'm going to try and get at least two more stripes onto that sweater before the weekend is over. It's totally possible... unless I try making that bread. And I've got a roast to cook. And some laundry to do. Hmm... I best get to it...

Does Ipswich deserve to be named the region's greenest town?
PUBLISHED: 16:30 07 August 2019
Ipswich Borough Council has been named the greenest authority in the east of England, according to government statistics.
By measuring the carbon dioxide emissions of domestic, commercial and industrial properties across the borough, research shows the authority produces 3.02 tonnes of the greenhouse gas per capita every year.
That sees the county town ranked as the 23rd lowest producer of CO2 per capita in the UK - ranking 53 places higher than Norwich and a staggering 126 places higher than Colchester.
The news comes as Ipswich Borough Council became one of many local authorities in the country to declare a climate emergency, with Suffolk County Council having made the move in March this year.
A contributor to the "greenhouse effect", the gas increases the amount of thermal energy trapped in the earth's atmosphere - leading to a rise in temperature, known as global warming.
The council has committed to reduce emissions to zero by 2030, while nationally, the government has set a deadline of 2050.
They aim to do so by continuing advances made in the last 10 years, including the installation of solar panels and LED lighting at multiple sites, as well as introducing an electric fleet of staff cars.
You may also want to watch:
MORE: What is the council doing to tackle the climate emergency?
A spokesman for Ipswich Borough Council said: "We are pleased to see the result of the work we have, and are, doing to reduce our carbon emissions.
"The effort we have put in over the last ten years has had an impact but there is still lots to do and we will continue to do what we can."
Although campaigning for the reduction in carbon emissions, the Ipswich branch of Extinction Rebellion said the council should be doing more.
A spokesman for the group said: "There is nothing special that Ipswich is doing in calling a climate emergency.
"There is a lot more that councils need to do - and in Ipswich a big problem is nitrous oxide emissions from traffic.
"The council needs to reduce traffic in the town, although I think they won't make changes as they wouldn't be 'popular' with people.
"But still - rather than focusing on the problems, we should look forward to a brighter, greener future where we can have happier and healthier lives."

Part 1: The REAL Threats Local Businesses Will Face in 2015
This five part blog series takes a deep look into highly competitive industry landscapes and tips to successfully compete with the "Big Guys" and the "Little Guys."
Part one of this series provides a deep look into the struggles local businesses face in highly concentrated markets. Logic would point to highly concentrated markets as being safe investments. Why else would so many people be in the business?
What does this mean for the business owners?
Although there are so many successful businesses in the Bay Area, you MUST appreciate and understand what these businesses have in common and what makes them unique. Determining what parts of each business ultimately leads them to success, or failure, is the key to swimming through local competition.
Many people might assume that the "Big Guy," or corporate chains, pose the greatest threat to the smaller "mom-and-pop" locally-owned businesses. Whether you sell specialty cupcakes or professionally designed fruit baskets, your local competition is the most challenging when it comes to your bottom line.
Local businesses are faced with some of the most difficult circumstances when it comes to attracting potential clients and maintaining current loyal customers. For example, a locally-owned smog station or auto repair shop competes with as many as ten businesses at any given time. These rival businesses may offer the exact same services, advertising comparable prices, and are just a few blocks away. This is what we call a HIGHLY competitive industry and something locally-owned businesses face everyday. They lose customers everyday as they struggle to meet and exceed discounts, entertainment, and customer service.
So how do local businesses in highly competitive fields survive and maintain a steady income flow?
It's imperative to create and implement a system that ensures financial stability – this requires much more than simply making sure employee benefits and vendors get paid on time. You must have enough financial flexibility that will allow you to keep your employees happy and your customers satisfied while continuing to fund the research and development needed to offer better services and advertising domination over the competition.
Top 2 rules to surviving the REAL threat:
Employees, honesty, & customer service are the foundation of your reputation: Your customers' point of contact or sales representative is one of the strongest assets you have when it comes to direct interaction and company reputation. The success or failure of your team in this area will make or break the success of your company. This goes for every industry – auto, food, construction, childcare. The person your customer interacts with the most eventually becomes the face of your company on Yelp, customer referrals, social media, and all other reputation management, consumer review sites, and word of mouth. You learn the hard way when an employee simply doesn't understand your service offerings, but still manages to sell them. That's a scary thing. Grow, expand, and develop innovative service offerings, but do not let customers purchase these packages until you've had time to perform acid tests and work through any bumps to ensure the production team is working like a well-oiled machine.
Long lines & waiting can lose customers… forever: You aren't Disneyland. People will wait in line at Disneyland for two hours to ride Magic Mountain because it's the only place in the world they can. If there are 20 other people in line to buy a sandwich, they will simply walk out the door and go to the deli around the corner. Time is precious and when they can get the exact same thing for the exact same amount of money, don't make them wait 20 minutes for a sandwich.

A great splash page and a new costume for Storm.
This issue starts with a nice moment: Storm getting a chance to revel in the fact that she's gotten her powers back. There's a brief sequence where she uses the team's new portal to check on how the New Mutants are doing without them seeing her. She doesn't check on Kitty Pryde, though, which is odd because the two of them were always close.
The team is cleaning out The Reavers' old base to make it their own, still hiding out in Australia. This includes returning property stolen by the Reavers to its rightful owners, on Christmas Eve.
Also, we finally get to the storyline where The Marauders broke into a hospital and stole Madelyne Pryor's baby.
That seems like that happened a long time ago. We see Madelyne is hunting them down—on her own. No connection to the rest of the book. (Why isn't she asking her husband Cyclops for help? I mean, I get that she's proud, but she doesn't have any powers and this is her baby we're talking about.)

Partners for cybersecurity startups 2020
Getting the first partners for Cybersecurity Startups, it is one of the hardest processes on the early steps. Cybersecurity startups and especially Cyber Security vendors spend a big part of their budget trying to develop their channel partner market. You have to know the factors from your Ideal Business Partner in order to be successfull.
I will help you and I will guide you in order to create your ideal partner, on the first step. This process will save you time and money, so your chance to survive will be boosted.
Partners for cybersecurity startups
The Ideal Partners for cybersecurity startups, they are innovator or early adopters with new brands.
It means, they work with other startups brands and you can check this very fast in their vendor portfolio.
For example, ImagenTI is a local Mexican Cyber Security Distributor. All the solutions they distribute are tech startups from Europe. If you would check the ImagenTI vendor portfolio of solutions, you will realize very fast they work only with tech startups.
The same concept is applied for VARs (Value Added Resellers).
The partner's vendor portfolio has between 30% to 60% of startup brands.
You may wonder why this percent? Let me explain to you the reasons:
- The business partners with a high percent of startups won't have enough confidence from the group of buyers of "the early majority" of adopters ("The diffusion of Innovation at your tech startup"). It means they are not enough mature in the local market.
- Another reason is the branding. Working with well known brands and startups is giving a message to the customers on how this brand is "Trustable". This is the same effect when you see a guru, famous person or Influencer, that he/she support a specific brand product.
- The business partners with a small percent of startups, don't pay enough attention to tech vendor startups or they don't invest time and money on you. They usually ask you money in advance in order to work with them.
What about if they are under or over this percent?
I have worked with VADs and VARs over or under this percent. This cooperation was also working. However, being at the early step of market development, you would need these features on your ideal business partners.
The cybersecurity partner works with complementary or alliance vendors.
Working with complementary solutions or they integrate technically with your solutions. In this way, they can do cross-selling much easier than in stand-alone.
Another example is Seclore, they are an EDRM (Enterprise Digital Right Management) Solution. A DLP (Data Leak Prevention) vendor solution such as Forcepoint integrates with them. So, Forcepoint partners active on the DLP side has a high percent to match for EDRM solutions.
Global distributors won't be interested in your solution.
Global distributors such as Ingram Micro, G-Data, Exclusive Networks, Arrow, Westcom. They are not early adopters or innovative and they won't be interested in you (tech startup vendor).
Once again, there is nothing personal against you or your startup, neither for your solution. They are corporate, they need to make sure to "make numbers" and they are on the right side of the curve of "The diffusion of Innovation at your tech startup"
Is there any exception for them?
Yes, there are some exceptions to have a global partnership agreement or have a big budget marketing budget plan.
In such a case, it is not worthy to focus on them or you should invest your budget in a different way.
Another exception is by "The Power of Personal Relationships".
In such a case, they don't ask you to have a huge investment. I know regional VADs that also invested a few times in new cybersecurity vendor startup. It was successful and they didn't expect to have a huge investment from the vendor side.
However, these few cases are exceptions and not the standards.
Business partners who work with the same model solution.
This means if they are working only with SaaS or with only hardware.
I have identified how some customers are working with the same model of solutions. I mean, a customer working with SaaS yearly solutions, they are always working with vendors offering SaaS yearly solutions.
The same example comes with a customer having SaaS monthly solutions. It will be their preferred vendors or business partners following the same model.
The last example is with hardware solutions. I have also known customers against cloud solutions. They still feel better-having everything on-site by hardware. Now, coming back to the business partner, if they are offering only hardware solutions and you are a hardware vendor. Then the probability to be successful with this business partner and their customers is very high.
The VAD or VAR is focused only in one region or country.
Local VADs or local VARs are focused only in a region within a country or maximum in one country. This is exactly the opposite of point 4 of this chapter: Global distributors won't be interested in your solution.
The best VADs that I have the pleasure to cooperate with, they are focused only in one country or even one specific region within the country. They know the "Power of Personal Relationships", they know the importance to focus on a niche market and they are very aware of how the best marketing is having good references in a local area.
They have a good ratio of salespeople/vendors.
For example, 6 sales and 2 pre-sales for only 6 vendors, it is very good. In this way, they will really focus on you and it is the same concept with Regional VADs or VARs, they focus by geography area.
The same amount of sales and pre-sales, so 6 sales and 2 pre-sales for 20 vendors. Then the focus is much worse.
Or I even have experienced myself, 2 sales and 1 pre-sales for 20 vendors. You can imagine how much is the effort and time spent on each vendor.
The partners for cybersecurity startups, they targets similar vertical customers or size customers.
Here it comes again about the importance to have a niche market. As I mentioned in the chapter 2: Not having a niche market from the Top 10 reasons why startups fail and how to avoid it. A niche market is a small or specialized market for a type of product or service: Sector, location, size of the company and finance sources.
For example, a network performance monitoring solution is very critical for Telco customers. Then, if you find a reseller working with Telco customers, your probability to be successful on the sales side will be very high.
Now, let's imagine the opposite case, your reseller doesn't have any niche market. He has customers in all the sectors, they are not related to each other. Then, it will be hard to develop the sales with this partner and in the case of success, it will be an isolated case.

When it comes to property prices in London, and London house prices, the amount of money that you have to pay to get on to the property ladder is enough to make your eyes water. There are many areas of London, and not all areas command the prices you see in Kensington and Chelsea or in Camden, but compared to the rest of the UK, even the "affordable" areas of London seem expensive.
Of course, there isn't a level playing field between London and other parts of the country. The cost of living and average income figures are very different, so you can't just look at the sales price and instantly make a comparison. It would be more sensible to consider the affordability of property in certain areas and to be honest; this doesn't make pleasant reading for people looking to buy property in the English capital.
London house prices are moving away from average income
According to figures provided by Hometrack, property prices in London are 14.5 times the average earnings of a Londoner. Despite a lot of focus on the growth of London house prices slowing down, and in some areas London house prices falling, this figure has actually increased on last year. In 2016, London house prices were "only" 14 times the average level of income, but the gap has increased over the year.
It would be wrong to say that London was the only area experiencing this situation. In Cambridge, house prices are 14.3 times the price of average earnings and in Oxford, the ratio stands at 12.6%. Even in Bournemouth the average price of property is 10.1% times the average income. This is perhaps an indicator that London isn't the only expensive place to stay in the United Kingdom but there is no denying that many people will wonder if they can afford to buy and live in property.
The London property market isn't a single entity
Of course, it is wrong to look at the London property market as a single entity. Even in Inner London, there is a prime central market which is more expensive than the rest of the Inner London area. Add in Outer London and you have parts of the capital that are much more affordable than the headline figures would suggest. In recent times, the North East of the capital has been worth keeping an eye on, with some of these areas bucking the trend for falling prices in the capital.
In fact, the growth in prices in Outer London has ensured that the overall property prices in London are on the up, with Hometrack citing an increase of 3% over the year. The heart of the capital has seen property prices fall or remain flat but in areas like Clapton, prices have risen by 5%. This should remind buyers that there are many different areas and options in London, and it is worth speaking to an expert to find out more.
Anyone looking to buy in the London property market should arrange an appointment with Regent Property and we will be more than happy to offer guidance and advice.
