Has anyone seen zodiac? (spoiler-free)
I went to watch this last night. I thought it was good. I won't put any spoilers in incase people want to see it.
One gripe though, the film spans at least 18 years, yet Jake Gyllenhall doesn't age a day. Thats a bit annoying.
All in all, 8/10.
Another thing, how fucking expensive is the cinema? I had to pay £9.10 for my ticket!!! Outrageous.
And I had to pay for the missus!!
she is a student so it was 'only' £6.10 for her ticket!!
It was really nice
but still, crazy prices.
it's £6 here and i feel ripped off.
I might go and see this
at the weekend. Our cinema is approx £7 a ticket. I keep meaning to get those unlimited passes as I do go fairly often, you 'make your money back' if you go twice a month.
he is also ageless in Brokeback Mountain
you'd think they'd at least put some effort in with the make-up.
Oh and get a Cineworld unlimited pass: definitely worthwhile.
spoilers like....
it's a true story?

text: You can probably tell from the image above that the Wheego Whip isn't the fastest automobile to ever hit the streets, but it'll still be getting Americans from point A to point B before most of those other "concepts" will. The company is currently looking to score dealers that will sell its "electric LSVs (Low Speed Vehicles)," the first of which is obviously the Whip. If all goes to plan, it'll have 50 dealers across America by May, and given that this is "the best affordable electric car in the world" (that's the words of RTEV CEO Mike McQuary), we'd say all 50 should be brimming with customers. Unfortunately, we're not told just how

Here we go again by peter1 7 May 2018 Ah yes...The Dromderaloughs...in cloud and rain...'climb me once, shame on me, climb me twice, shame on thee'. I had climbed Dromderalough some years ago in Autumn, in cloud and rain, using Paddy Dillon's guide to the 2000 footers. It was before I found the MV website and realised there was another top, NE top, which is higher, so I knew that I would have to return some day. Then an MV member (?) showed that there was a third top, the NW top, exceeding the 600m mark. So, on the May Bank Holiday monday, following two days of heat and sunshine I set off again from Limerick and completed the route from the South...in cloud and rain...again. I used an approach from the South, from Kilgarvan, and although there is a 'No Trespassing' sign near the start, if you keep to the East bank of the stream coming down from the plateau, there are no signs on this side. I suspect that when the Gods was making the mountains around here, they used the Dromderaloughs as the 'Works Yard'...all the bits of rocks, tussocks, hillocks, ponds and lakes that were not used in the Reeks and Mangerton, were just left behind, randomly...I understand that the views from here are very fine.

The Collectors Summary
Dr. Burjor Mody, his wife, and son Pesi move into C Block in Firozsha Baag. Their neighbors are the Bulsaras, including brooding son Jehangir. Big-boned Pesi becomes leader of the rowdy boys. He invents a new game: stone-the-cats. Felines gather regularly after to eat the garbage thrown by upper-floor residents. In the afternoons, the boys take stones to Pesi's apartment to hurl at the cats. Parents are shocked a veterinarian's son could harm animals. This follows the usual pattern of Pesi causing his parents to despair.
Dr. Mody earns respect by ending the cat stonings. Pesi is named for the hero of the Persian epic, Shah-Nameh, in hopes he will enjoy great cultures and, one day, stamp collecting. Fate intervenes, and Mody surrenders his son to destiny. Seeing his abusive, lewd son brings him to despair. Gradually, Jehangir fills the empty...

I made a name for myself in video games by savaging Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on DS. It was the most awful, most painful, most broken game I've ever endured and it's my tendency to sneer at most movie-based video games anyway.
So what did I expect from Half-Blood Prince on the Wii? Certainly not all the fun I had.
The events demoed at EA's Showcase were Potions class, Quidditch and Duelling. Before we got to try the game ourselves, we got to watch two cute EA kids go at it in Duelling. They shook the Remotes and mashed the A buttons and bobbed and weaved their heads in time with the motions on screen. Harry dodges Malfoy's Stupify, Malfoy gets off a freezing spell that knocks Harry off his feet. Back and forth went the magic spells until Malfoy ran out of health icons and the Duel ended with Harry winning best two out of three.
I got spanked at it when I tried it myself, but I was pleased that the controls handled pretty well. Dodging was what I did most, mashing A while moving the control stick in the direction I wanted to go. I was really getting killed until Executive Producer Jonathan Bunney finally bailed me out by showing me how to block, which also reflects spells. I redeemed myself in Potions - but that's easy to do with such simple controls. The cauldron already has a potion in it and your job is to follow the instructions icons that hover to the right of it. Fan the mixture by moving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk up and down until it turns the right colour. The control vibrates in your hand when you've nailed the right shade. Point at an ingredient and hold A to pick it up and hold it over the cauldron; tilt your wrist to pour it in.
"The controls are very smooth," said Mr. Bunney. "We don't want to break anybody's wrists."
I completed the potion and got an A ranking, stepping back to let someone else go at it in Quidditch. Playing as Harry means you've got to play as the Seeker and find the Snitch - but there was a hint that you could unlock other characters to play (probably just for the Duelling, though). To win at Quidditch, you've got to fly after the Snitch, going through star-shaped hoops to gain speed bonuses as you hurtle along. Like the Potion and Duelling controls, Quidditch looked pretty smooth - with no frantic flailing or extreme flicking to get the on-screen action to occur.
While that was going on, Bunney informed me that this Harry Potter game was built around the Wii instead of the PS2 (like the last one). The Wii Remote looks like a wand, so it was a logical choice; and now that they've got the technology of the Wii down, things are looking a lot better for the Potter series.
Let's hope it works out well for the other consoles.

Rivers have broken their banks, the lakes are at 1-in-200-year flood levels, and let's not forget the many mudslides and landslides that are blocking highways and threatening property.
|Young apple orchard in bloom. Enderby Cliffs in the far background.
Cro might remember a photo of this orchard that I
posted a few years ago, when it was newly-planted.
Torrential rainstorms have been hard on the little hummers, so when it does abate, they swarm to the feeders in astounding numbers, all species working together to satisfy their voracious appetites. Even the aggressive Rufous males have to let up on their dive-bombing tactics, as the Anna's, Calliope, Broad-back and Black-chins all outnumber them.
Twilight with rainbows and hummingbirds. A lovely gift bestowed in dismal times.

Main body - Marvel Crossover Hulk Head - Spare Sunny with faceplate mod via pla-plate. Paint - Bog standard Gunze Sangyo paint. Duration of mod and paint - 4 hours. Still some kinks need to be ironed out, but I'm all good for now. Sorry, no turrets. With arms that big, who needs one? No Alt mode pic at the moment, paint needs to dry, will post later.

Nails - Jewel Decals
I'm in love with these jewel nail decals by Jolly Good Studio. I'm big on supporting other crafters, so when I saw these (and obviously fell in love with them) I couldn't resist.
I only used three on each hand (I want to make them last!). They are very easy to apply. Just cut out a gem, apply a little water with a paintbrush, slide the gem off the backing paper and apply to the nail. A good top coat will seal it. I applied the decals over Topshop Tidal which is such a pretty grey-blue colour. I love it.

Hello guys, this video I will show you, how much money I have won with my various YouTube channels. Currently, I have about 20 channels on YouTube, but I'll just show here 4 that has the most significant figures on earnings. Come on?
. . .
The first is the Sonáje Channel: 2 million views and a total of $ 1,308 of earnings. . .
The second is the Celebrikast: 4 million and 250 thousand views to $ 570. . .
The third is the WebGrana, which you are watching this video. I would say that if this information is useful for you and help you in anything, subscribe to the channel to give us strength. Here you will find tips, tutorials on how to make money on the internet. This channel is focused on online money. If you are thinking of working from home and have an extra income, come with us.
The WebGrana channel has so far 450,000 views and generated an income of $ 257. Note that huge difference with Celebricast channel that has 4 million views to generate $ 570, and this with only 450,000 views made half earnings that Celebricast channel did. This opens another discussion but that is for another video. . .
The fourth channel is TopDicas with 293,000 views, generating an income of $ 160.
The other channels I have, they all add up to about $ 100 in total, they are usually open channels to test or try to post something different or some content that I was wanting to create but did not work out and so on.
The sum of all gives a total of $ 2,395. Considering the 3 real dollar value I would have a total value of actual 7185.
Recalling that this value is estimated. There may be some variation in the calculation more or less.

Spinach Puffs
Save time and use puff pastry for these delightfully warming spinach puffs. Then pour yourself a drink.
Keep it savory. Keep it classy.
Save time and use puff pastry for these delightfully warming spinach puffs. Then pour yourself a drink.
Dig that bag of frozen peas out for this simple appetizer. Pile on torn mint and Parmesan for a classic combination.
Healthy and bursting with flavor, this spicy edmame snack is best with a squeeze of lime.
It may look fancy, but this bite is literally just pork and crackers. Opt for grissini—the thin, crsip Italian cracker—for optimal effect.
This is one of those cleaning-the-snack-pantry snack mixes. But even though it's packing a lot of flavors, the combination—popcorn, corn nuts, and tortilla chips—surprisingly works.
The two-ingredient appetizer of your dreams stars bacon. The sweet prunes are a great match for salty bacon.
This snack features pumpkin seeds and cashews spiced with garam masala. If you have leftovers from cocktail hour, sprinkle the rest on cereal, soups, and fall vegetables.
Two keys to crispness: Keep the frying temperature low and soaking the chips in vinegar beforehand.
Olives are the Cary Grant of cocktail snacks. Refined and classic.
Get ready for the greatest garlic bread bite. What makes this different? Cooking the garlic in wine infuses it with some extra flavor and lightens the harsh bite of the allium. Fold the cooked garlic into butter and pat yourself on the back.
Impromptu cocktail party? Make a good impression without breaking a sweat. This chile pumpkin seed and peanut snack will get plenty of return visitors.
This briny and sweet snack takes less than 30 minutes to put together. Combine the shrimp with aromatic fennel and spicy peppers and serve over toast.
Take crunchy toast slices, rub them with garlic and anchovy for a funky flavor base, then lather on the tomato purée.
Chickpeas, no overnight soaking required. Roast canned chickpeas with curry for a crunchy and warmly spiced snack.
Soy sauce, hoisin, and toasted sesame oil all add to this flavorful (and really addictive) Asian snack mix.

1. 3.1 Phillip Lim:
The colors are really great and I am loving the contrast between the suede jacket and the metallic(?) ruffled skirt.
2. Balenciaga:
This is incredibly rock n' roll and bohemian at the same time. Absolutely marvelous, the boots are to die for.
Although the fabric of the dress reminds me a little of the Gucci Flora print, but I found this look incredibly young and fresh. The shoes don't quite match, but they look really great with the rest of the look.
3. Behnaz Sarafpour:
I love the beautiful pattern made of feathers (i think?). From far away it looks so simple and up close it becomes so baroque!
4. Chloe:
The most perfect girly-rock n roll dresses. I would definitely wear these ALL THE TIME!
5. Marc Jacobs:
So amazingly effortlessly sexy. It's kind of ethereal but also a little awkward. I love everything about it.

Internet development in Zambia: a triple helix of government-university-partners
The ability of nations to generate and use advanced knowledge for industrial competitiveness is partly determined by the relationship between government, industry and research institutions as well as policies and regulations that govern the generation, transfer and commercialisation of new knowledge. African innovation systems do not seem to fit such a relation. This paper uses the development of the internet in Zambia, through commercialisation of a university based academic e-mail system into the country's first Internet Service Provider (ISP), to identify the relationship between government-university- (development) partners and to outline some important policy lessons where African universities could play a role as technology transfer agents. Finally, the paper proposes that a Triple Helix relation of Universities-Government-Partners may be important in transferring, adapting and mastering knowledge based technologies in Africa.

Hire an actress and make a movie about how having an abortion is fun! Will the Pro-Abortion crowd stop at anything to push their industry of death?
It just may be so, friends.
No, Hollywood won't participate in anyway bringing the story of Kermit Gosnell – who may be this country's most profligate serial-killer – to the small or big-screen because he was in the abortion biz. But Doug Giles at Clash Daily feels pretty strongly that they'll fake the feel-good video of 2014 – a happy-time abortion!
Get a young, good-looking girl with some acting skills and videotape her supposedly killing her unborn child in pursuit of encouraging women that not using birth control, having casual, out-of-wedlock sex, getting pregnant, ignoring the father (if you bother to know who that might be), and skipping off to the wonderful world of the baby-killing factory can be a positive experience.
Hat tip Clash Daily:
Now, I could be wrong about this. I am not saying that I am 100% certain that Emily Letts did not film a surgical abortion being done on herself – but there are just too many things that don't seem to make sense about her video and her follow-up story published on Cosmopolitan.
This is purely my own speculation and opinion, but I really cannot convince myself that the video is real, and I have watched it several times. Here are some of my reasons:
I do not believe that Emily Letts was pregnant to begin with. She shows no proof in the video of a positive pregnancy test or even gives a date that confirms her last menstrual period. She does not even show an ultrasound picture, which she claims that she will forever hold onto. She tells Cosmo that she was "only two to three weeks" pregnant. What does that mean? Two to three weeks from conception or two to three weeks from her last menstrual period?
Also, it is very unrealistic that someone who is sexually active and NOT on birth control is not monitoring their period to know if they skip one. She even said that she didn't want to use birth control pills, so she would keep track of her ovulation to know when not to have sex. Someone who monitors their ovulation would know if they skipped a period and purposefully take a pregnancy test, not on a whim. Yes, I understand that some people have a period while they are pregnant, but it is not likely. Emily said that she happened to take a pregnancy test at the clinic just for the heck of it, and then schedules her abortion then next day after telling her manager.
Emily finds out that she is "pregnant" at work, has an abortion the next day, and decides within those 24 hours that she thinks it would be a great idea to film it to show her "positive abortion experience". What a coincidence that all of this happens while there is a video contest out by the Abortion Care Network, for women to make video under 3 minutes to show their positive abortion experience, in order to remove the stigma about abortion that they claim society has made.
The contest had a cash prize for the winners and a $100 donation to an abortion charity of the winner's choice. And, yes – she was one of the winners.
Emily tells Cosmo that she has been a "professional actress for years", and…
Read the rest HERE:
Believe it or not – having an abortion when you're not even pregnant is an alternative now. Hey – why not?

A standing-room-only crowd welcomed new FAA Administrator Marion Blakey to the opening general session of AOPA Expo 2002 in Palm Springs, California, on Thursday.
Blakey was interrupted by applause numerous times as she delivered an address that was by turns humorous, complimentary to general aviation, informative, and frank.
"General aviation (GA) personifies the basic American freedom to fly," said Blakey. "The freedom to fly is the freedom to explore."
But, she said, the FAA is caught between two imperatives: advocating for the aviation system and national security. "The FAA never overlooks the opportunity to remind the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) about the need for the freedom to fly," said Blakey. "But make no mistake, national security cannot and will not be compromised."
In her speech, Blakey announced the adoption of an AOPA-proposed rule to enhance security by making it easier to identify pilots. The amendment to FAR 61.3 requires pilots to carry a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, as well as their certificate when flying. Blakey signed the final rule on Wednesday before departing for AOPA Expo. It takes effect on Monday, October 28, 2002.
She also addressed the developing relationship between TSA and the FAA. "The nation is at war, and there is a wartime sense of responsibility." Blakey said the FAA remains the primary manager of the National Airspace System and retains authority for some areas of security. But she told her audience that the FAA is not able to evaluate national security threats.
The administrator noted CIA Director George Tenet's recent statement that terrorist activity seems to be increasing again. She said many of the security restrictions will have to stay in place as long as the threats remain. But she related comments made by Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta during a meeting, at which he said the government was not going to expand temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) on a widespread basis without a specific threat.
Blakey told the crowd that pilots have every reason to expect current, consistent information from flight service stations (FSSs), and that the FAA is working closely with managers at the FSSs to improve service. She also announced that a joint FAA/Jeppesen project to provide graphical depictions of TFRs that are "down to the inch accurate" will be available to preflight briefers by early next year, and to pilots directly sometime after that. "You need a good picture," she said, "You're going to get it."
Noting that both of her first two trips out of Washington as administrator were to GA meetings (she was in Wichita recently to meet with GA manufacturers), Blakey said she considers a healthy general aviation sector vital to the United States. "Air travel is a blessing," she said in conclusion, "and will ultimately extend the greatness of our country."
The 387,000-member Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has been representing the interests of general aviation pilots since 1939. General aviation includes all flying except the scheduled airlines and the military. More than two thirds of the nation's pilots, and three quarters of the aircraft owners, are AOPA members.

Anabel Roque Rodríguez
Curator | Writer | Art Historian
Winterthur (CH) & Munich (D)
This little place has become my online home where I share thoughts, opinions and projects. Enjoy the look around and say hello, if you feel that we could make something exciting happen in real life - we all agree that that's the place for long-term impact. Have a look here to get some ideas on what we could work together.
My focus includes political art, art as labor, feminism, and the art market. I am always interested in collaborations, ideas around curatorial work, writing, public speaking or art education. This Homepage might be in English, but I am also fluent in German and Spanish.
Curatorial Practice
Curating is situated in a whole ecosystem of conception, education, artist liaison and public relation. I am experienced in site-specific, low-budget and long-term exhibitions as well as the development of new display formats, always in the realm of contemporary art with a historic contextualization. I am deeply connected to social practice and feminism, with a strong academic background in art history and theory, and therefore, able to develop exhibitions on different topics.
Writing is a tool to understand the world, allowing to ask all kinds of questions. I write for different publishers in the position of feature writer, correspondent, and reviewer. I am also frequently contributor to catalogues and introductions.
If you are interested in more private thoughts subscribe to my monthly Newsletter, which I use as a safe space to share thoughts, projects and recommendations or have a look at my blog. Find the latest updates of it below.
Art Education
I believe that art and the formats in which it is included need different forms of mediation. Depending on its specific necessities I am available for guided tours, themetic lectures, introductions, artist talks and other forms of public speaking. There are also further possibilities for art education apart from the regular formats, get in touch to discuss more ideas.


text: Hi, I have a problem with my HTC Wildfire in that it won't play any tone when I get a text message? It plays the notification tone for other notifications just not for text messages and it plays the ringtone when I have a call, but it never makes any noise or even vibrates when I receive a text. So I always miss them, it's very annoying. When I first got it it played the tone but at some point, quite a while ago now, it stopped and I'm not sure exactly when that was, but it doesn't play when I get a text anymore. Does anyone know why this is/how to change it?

A few years ago the Center for Creative Leadership, among others, began to examine whether the field of leadership development is still meeting the needs of leaders given the rapidly changing landscape in which they now lead. As organizational boundaries slip away, systems and networks continue to become more complex and interconnected, and information remains ambiguous and non-linear, it seems a given that leaders need to continue to learn and develop - but perhaps they need to do so differently and with a different starting mindset for how they operate as leaders (and as cultivators of other leaders). Educators like Tony Wagner, Expert in Residence at Harvard University's Innovation Lab, began to reconceptualize how and what students learn given the changes described above. Looking at the distinct (but connected) fields of education and leadership development, these researchers identified a similar set of skills that contribute to effective leadership:
- Critical thinking and problem-solving
- Collaboration across networks and leading by influence
- Agility and adaptability
- Initiative and entrepreneurialism
- Effective oral and written communication
- Accessing and analyzing information
- Curiosity and imagination
What they discovered is that leaders and students need to develop more complex and adaptive thinking abilities – they need to be able to make sense of the changing world around them. It is no longer sufficient only to know the "what" of one's job – skills and competencies – but it's become essential to advance one's thinking simultaneously.
Horizontal vs. Vertical Development
As a result, the way we develop leaders needs to shift, too. In his 2013 paper Vertical Leadership Development: Developing Leaders for a Complex World – Part I, CCL Senior Faculty member Nick Petrie describes the two ways in which we develop leaders:
Horizontal Development refers to the adding of more knowledge, skills, and competencies. It is about what you know, which we can measure through 360-degree feedback.
Vertical Development refers to advancement in a person's thinking capability. The outcome of vertical stage development is the ability to think in more complex, systemic, strategic, and interdependent ways. It is about how you think, which we can measure through stage development interviews and surveys.
As described by Petrie, "If horizontal development is about transferring information to the leader, vertical development is about transformation of the leader." And while we need leaders who have the skills and competencies to get the work done, we also need them to be able to think wisely and adaptively about the work.
Coaching as a Vertical Development Tool
So, how do we introduce new and adaptive ways of thinking? How might we help a leader develop a long-term view or see many shades of gray? How might we support a leader to see patterns and or accept uncertainty as the norm? One tool for developing a leader's thinking capability is through coaching. At CompassPoint, we define coaching as
[. . .] a set of specific skills, a mindset and a facilitative process that helps others think forward. Coaching supports individuals to make more conscious decisions and take new action. [ . . .]
We believe that the ultimate goal of coaching is to help someone move to a new action or behavior while learning, growing and developing – not only skills but new ways of thinking as well. Coaching can help a leader see the connections between seemingly disparate decisions or events, make sense of behavioral patterns (their own and others') and try on diverse perspectives of a vexing problem. Because coaching is about helping leaders learn, rather than teaching them, it can unlock a leader's potential for adaptive behavior and new ways of thinking.
Are you ready to try it out?

When the truth is... I miss you...
by disillusioned
(Person, 2059 views) - 10/8/03
(recorded 10/8/03 @ 3:04:44 AM)
Missing someone is an awfully weird feeling, when you step outside and examine it. It's the manifestation of the longing created by that void left when they're gone... It's the feeling you get deep inside of you, when you remember all the greatest memories you've had with that person, and when you close your eyes and for an instant, you're there with them. Smiling, laughing, and enjoying whatever it is that's there between you.
That's the great thing about the kind of person you *really* miss- you don't even have to know what it is that's there between you- it's something you just feel, you *both* feel, that you *know* is there. It's this magnetism that allows your mind to wander back to thoughts of them when it isn't otherwise preoccupied. It's when you're driving in your car, and *that song* comes on (you know the one), and you look over at the empty passenger seat next to you, and you could *swear* for a moment you saw a glimmer out of the corner of your eye. And even though you miss that person, you still smile.
It's a feeling that drives you, and fills you with the desire to see them again, even though that may not be a possibility. It's allowing all those other minute details, small triggers such as they are, bring back those warm feelings you'd get when you were around that person.
We've all experienced missing someone... And loneliness. And we've all been forced to use our memories, our remnants of the past to recall... or maybe even reinforce that feeling of longing, until you'll next get to see them- even if that may be never.
The truth is, I miss you.
Previous musing: So I'll check the weather, wherever you are...
Next musing: "Three Claps"

LANCASTER NEW CITY's initial phase of development is set to plant it roots in the community and eventually grow into a full-fledged "new town", similar to the ones we currently see in prime locations around Asia. Shopping is just around the corner with LANCASTER SQUARE. Quality education is just a few blocks away at the ST. EDWARD INTEGRATED SCHOOL. Family fun and celebrations are right next door at the LEIGHTON HALL clubhouse, with a pool and function rooms for special events. The CHURCH OF THE HOLY FAMILY is just within walking distance, and work can be just a few minutes away at the SUNTECH IT PARK. Being just 15 minutes away from Manila via Cavitex, LANCASTER NEW CITY is set to become the most accessible new town from Manila, and first of its kind of development in Cavite.
Imagine waking up in a spacious home, while having enough time to have breakfast with your family and bring your kids to school before going to work.
Imagine being able to relax and pamper yourself at a salon, while still having enough time to do the groceries and head home to prepare dinner.

If you're not accustomed to being given the middle finger, you will once you get your hands on one of these Andrea Maestri lamps. The funky illuminator is already noteworthy because of its x-ray lampshade, but the most attention-grabbing aspect of the light is its silhouette of a hand flipping someone off. Yes, it's crude, but it makes up for that by being doubly creative. The shade even rests on a studded stand resembling a punk rock arm brace to complete the rebellious look.
Andrea Maestri named this furniture piece 'Fuck you!' It's made from aluminum, leather, studs, polycarbonate and plexiglass. One has to wonder if this eccentric illuminator is too distracting to be a viable light source in a household. Still, there's no denying its sheer badassery.

text: [Placing the Campaign on Obsidian in media res] The party ventured to the northwesernmost corner of the Dells in response to a message from Sir Robanar, a paladin from Whitedell Abbey. After meeting with the mage Aldadius, counselor to the Lord of Botkinburg, the ventured across an old stone bridge made during the Emerald Empire. After a skirmish with goblins the party found the ruins of a stone tower and a hidden path. After lurking about they follow an ogre along the hidden path – but the ogre vanishes. After scouting they find a hidden entrance to an old underground watchpost overlooking the river. After a fierce fight, they slay the ogre and recover a map of various goblin camps. After recovering the party was able to slip into another underground fortress, this time full of goblins. With good scouting on the part of Stardust and the use of a Least Fireball by Ember they party was able to slay many goblins without alerting the rest of the complex. Doomsman and the rest struggled with a gnoll and a flind who were in the process of unloading dwarven spirits from a wagon, but prevailed. After finding a barracks compound with a large force of goblins – too many for the party to face. In an inspired bit, the party placed the spirit-laden wagon near the opening and set it afire. The resulting explosion was quite impressive, but the smoke drove the adventurers away. After retreating to camp in a hidden gully the part saw a lot of movement. While attempting to attack one group of goblins they were ambushed by another and surrounded by the surviving goblins (including the chieftain and three shamen). The resulting fight was very tough, but the party was able to wipe out the goblins.

HAha, this funny video is just so freaking hilarious, I can never watch this video without laughing my white ass off.. :D Jim Carrey is a comedian genius! I think all his movies are out of this world funny. Its sad that his personal life is not so happy though, I heard he actually is a lot of depressed and stuff. I can relate to that though, but its great to see him this way as a professional comedy guy though. Have fun watching this, I know you will just love this funny clip.

...and I am finished Christmas shopping!
(this is my tree from 2006, when I had my own home and loved to deck the whole place out for Christmas - I really miss that house this time of year. The kids loved coming home to it.)
It's been a long time since I have been done this early. Back before I was married, I used to pride myself on being all done and all the gifts wrapped by mid November. But in recent years that hasn't been the case. And in the past two years, I was too poor to buy much, thanks to hardly any work in my field.
But all that has changed this year and I am very grateful for it. It's wonderful to be working steady again. And though I am trying to be very careful with my money, I have to say it's been fun to be able to go shopping for the perfect Christmas gifts for those I love.
Two things got me to an early start. In September I was working on a movie called On Strike for Christmas. The house we used was decked out for Christmas as well as a mall which production filled with decorations, happy Christmas shoppers and a tree stand out in the parking lot. Three weeks of being immersed in that really got me not only in the Christmas mood, but feeling like it wasn't long until Christmas got here for real. Then, on my lunch break while shooting that movie, I went to a shop near where we were filming and happened upon the perfect gift for my married daughter. I wasn't going to buy it right then until the shop owner informed me that they only had three in stock and once they were gone, they'd never be found again as the manufacturer was no longer making them because the price point to make a profit would have to be too high. So I bought it. That got the ball rolling.
It's a good thing though because we are celebrating Christmas two weeks early this year. My daughter in Kelowna used all of her holidays this summer coming down here for her friend's wedding events and for the week before the wedding to help the bride out as much as she could. So she can't come for Christmas as that is when everyone wants time off. So she's taken a couple of personal days and will come down the weekend of the 10th. My other daughter and her hubby are leaving on the 15th for England as he is to be best man for his best man, and then they will spend Christmas with his parents. So we are getting together to have our Christmas Day on December 12th.
And me.... I am going back to Palm Springs!!!!!! I can't wait. I had such a great time there last year that just had to go back and do it again. I wrote to Eric back in October and asked him if his parents would be willing to let me stay with them again. He wrote back that the 'red room' was booked for me as long as I wanted it. I was very thankful and happy to hear it as I loved staying with them last year. So I have my flight booked, my room reserved, and a Christmas dress bought. And this time the neckline won't cause a minor scandal.
I wanted to shake up my life and go sailing (or learn on the job, so-to-speak) so headed to Florida to crew on a catamaran. This is about how it went or, rather, didn't - and my life since. Hopefully it will lead to a catamaran on the clear aqua blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, watching the sunset, a coconut rum and coke in hand. You must START AT THE BEGINNING of the blog, April 2009, to get the whole story...

Police have found a body believed to be that of a missing cyclist in Brisbane's Toohey State Forest, and also found the man's pet dog waiting nearby.
Initial investigations suggest the 42-year-old cyclist had a cycling accident in the Salisbury park, the Queensland Police Service said in a statement.
Police and SES teams searched the forest today, and found the body of a man as well as the cyclist's missing dog waiting nearby.
"The man's dog stayed with him and was not injured," police said in a statement.
The cyclist, Peter Jacobson, was reported missing after he and his brindle Staffordshire terrier left for the forest but failed to return about 11pm.

Maxim Magazine releases their 2011 feature of the 13 hottest women in country music.
Maxim magazine has passed out their list of the thirteen hottest women in country music, and I have to agree that it's a good list… with one exception. What in the heck is Gwyneth Paltrow doing on it?!?! She's as much a woman of country music as Will Farrell is a real anchorman! Just because you play a role in a movie does not mean you are then entitled to all the "celebrations" of the industry that role fell in! Granted, Maxim's "Hottest Women" lists are hardly career milestones, it's just the country title that gets to me.
Anyhow, on with the list, and in no particular order:
We've got more photos of Shania Twain in her photo gallery »

"Hotel Transylvania," an animated comedy about Dracula running a high-end resort for monsters, had already sucked the lifeblood out of five directors when Genndy Tartakovsky came aboard as director No. 6 in February 2011.
Tartakovsky, the Moscow-born creator of the Cartoon Network shows "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Samurai Jack," is an accomplished figure in the cozy world of TV animation. The cartooning equivalent of a live-action TV auteur like "Mad Men" creator Matt Weiner, Tartakovsky has been nominated for 13 Emmys and won three, and his kids shows have attracted a following among adults for their wit, action and style. Especially, he's known for his distinctive, hand-drawn, cartoonish technique, at a time when so much computer-driven animation seeks to be hyper-realistic.
But though he has supervised hundreds of episodes in his 20 years of working in TV animation, Tartakovsky, 42, was unprepared in one key way for his first feature film — he had never experienced the enervating atmosphere of a project that has passed through many, many creators' hands.
"I was the sixth man in, and it was like being dropped into combat," Tartakovsky said recently at his office on Sony Pictures Animation's Culver City lot. "This movie's been worked for six years already and everybody's kind of bitter.... I've never had so much resistance from everywhere — the studio, the artists. It took me a while to get my feet on the ground and win everybody over."
