Bette Davis was a silver screen icon who made many memorable movies. Two of them in particular left a lasting impression with many people. They are both classics.
In the 1960s, she starred in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with Joan Crawford. It was so successful that the producer and director, Robert Aldrich, wanted to make another film in the same genre and with the same two leading ladies.
Davis returned to the screen to play Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. This movie was made without Crawford. It was no secret that the two women did not get along, and Crawford refused to ever work with Davis again. Instead, Olivia de Havilland was cast on the suggestion of Davis.
These two films were made close together. They also were one of the first to feature an aging, mentally deteriorating woman as the main character of the story.
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
The movie begins in the early 1900s, when Jane was a young vaudeville sensation. She's a very difficult child who manipulates her father to get whatever she wants, much to the chagrin of her mother and older sister, Blanche. Jane is so popular that she's the inspiration for a Baby Jane doll.
Twenty years later, the fortunes of the two sisters have completely reversed. Jane's fame turned out to be fleeting. She's a has been even though she is still relatively young. Blanche, however, has made many successful films. Jane takes to drinking out of despair and depression. She is insanely jealous of Blanche, and makes no effort to hide her feelings.
One night after heavy drinking a car smashes into the gate of the sister's home. It's obvious there was an attempt to kill, but who caused the accident remains a mystery until late in the movie.
Years later, Blanche is confined to a wheelchair due to a spinal injury from the crash. She's totally dependent on Jane. Her sister has aged considerably and looks old and haggard. Jane wears excessive make up in an effort to try to look younger.
The only friend Blanche now has is the housekeeper Elvira. She knows Jane is descending into madness and finds her behavior alarming, but Blanche makes excuses for her sister.
Jane has delusions of restarting her career, and hires Edwin to help her with this. He is a piano accompanist. She has Edwin play while she sings one of the songs that made her a star as a young girl. It's grotesque and outlandish. Edwin manages to hide his disgust.
Meanwhile, Jane's emotional abuse towards Blanche continues. It escalates into physical beatings. All her pent-up anger, jealousy and bitterness has come to the surface. Jane's behavior towards Blanche gets even worse. By the time Blanche realizes her life is in danger, there isn't much she can do. This is because she has been cut off from the whole world. Blanche does not even have a phone she can use.
As Jane becomes even more mentally ill, innocent people are affected. It's a very suspenseful thriller that kept me guessing about what the outcome would be.
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is certainly a dark story, with suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat/ It is reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock films. Bette Davis got an Academy Award nomination for playing the repulsive, deranged Jane. It was well deserved, and Crawford did an excellent job playing the victim Blanche.
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Bette Davis once again plays a character who goes insane. In this case, however, you can't help but feel sorry for poor Charlotte.
Young Charlotte was having an affair with a married man. The two of them planned to run off together, much to the anger of Charlotte's father. He pressures John to break off the affair. John attends a party at the father's mansion, where he tells Charlotte it is over between them, even though he still has strong feelings for her.
Hours later Charlotte, who has gone back to the room where she last saw John to plead with him to take her back, finds he has been brutally murdered. She returns to the party, very traumatized and stunned by what she saw. Her gown is covered with John's blood. Naturally her father and the guests assume Charlotte has killed him.
Years later, Charlotte is living alone in the mansion. Her only companion is a very eccentric housekeeper. Velma really does care about Charlotte's well being. Other than Velma, Charlotte has no contact with others. She has lived a recluse all through the years. Everyone in town believes she killed John, and Charlotte has never gotten over his death.
The mansion is in a terrible state of disrepair, and the state wants to demolish it. They have plans to build a new highway which will go right through the area where the property stands. Charlotte refuses to leave under any circumstances. She decides to call her cousin Miriam to help her fight against the local government.
Charlotte trusts her cousin, but Velma is immediately suspicious. She believes Miriam has ulterior motives for coming to stay with the wealthy Charlotte. Velma's fears are well founded. Not long after Miriam arrives, Charlotte mental state begins to deteriorate.
Miriam and her boyfriend Drew stage various scenes making Charlotte think John is still alive. Unbeknownst to Charlotte, they also were drugging her so she would have hallucinations. Miriam and Drew plot to drive Charlotte completely insane so they can gain possession of all her money.
Charlotte's father had died believing his daughter had killed John. Charlotte herself thought her father was responsible for the crime. Miriam was the one person who knew who the guilty person was, but she hid that from Charlotte all through the years.
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte was over the top in many ways, but I found it very entertaining to watch. It certainly has suspense and great performances by all the principal cast members.
Things These Two Movies Had in Common
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte had a few things in common, besides Bette Davis having the starring role in both.
Both films were produced and directed by Robert Aldrich, and they were major box office successes.
The two stories featured housekeepers who were sympathetic to the victims. They soon learned what was really going on, and were killed to keep them from revealing the abuse that was happening.
Victor Buono appeared in both films. He played Edwin in Baby Jane, and was Charlotte's father in the second movie.
These are two gothic horror movies that have become classics. They revived Bette Davis' career, as roles for older women were quite scarce. In fact to this day, there aren't many movies made where the leading actor is an older woman.
I've watched both of these movies several times over the years. Even with knowing the plot and outcome, they remain interesting to watch, if for no other reason than the performance of Bette Davis and great supporting casts.

Hello to the Mudlark team,
Congratulations to all for your efforts in Round 1 of the Superules competition. 3 great wins for the day was not expected, so therefore it was a very nice surprise. It was also a great reward for the efforts of the committee and coaches during the off season. If we can continue to recruit a few more players, I am sure we will get the opportunity to play some finals football in 2015 but as they say in footy, one week at a time.
Before I move onto the VERY IMPORTANT fixture news, I would like to mention a few unfortunate injuries on the weekend. Apart from a few sprains, a couple of banged up fingers and plenty of sore bodies there were two more serious injuries that I know of. Merrick dislocated his shoulder in the 45's and will most likely miss the rest of the season. Magoo who has trained the house down and was very excited to be playing his first game with the club tore his calf and will miss the first half of the season. Both of these injuries reinforces the need for all players to make sure they have the appropriate medical cover that us old footballers need. Please check out what you have and if it is not appropriate, please re visit your policy. Hope to see Magoo back soon and wish Merrick a speedy recovery. After 3 shoulder ops Merrick, I know what you are going through.
So IMPORTANT stuff. Round 2 is on April 26th and then Round 3 is the following week on May 3rd to allow for Mothers Day on May 10th. Not only do we only have the one week recovery but we also have our first away games with the club at 3 different venues. Old Scotch In Camberwell for the 35's, Laurimar way up north for Masters and across the bay for me at Mornington for the 45's. Can all players please check their schedules and let your coach or coaches know if you can make your game, if you have to play in a different side or if you can't make it (barring any injuries from Round 2). This is really important as we will need to best try and spread our available players across the 3 teams.
Good luck in Round 2.

FOXSports.com NHL power rankings
There are less than two weeks of hockey left, and the Blackhawks inch closer to the Presidents' Trophy and home ice throughout the playoffs that comes with it. And with a six-game winning streak, Chicago doesn't seem content to back off heading into the playoffs.
1 Blackhawks 33-5-4
Ray Emery, who was out of the league just a couple years ago, is 16-1-0 after the Hawks' 5-2 win over the Stars on Monday. Good enough to be a starter ahead of Corey Crawford for the playoffs? Probably not, but Emery isn't a bad fallback.
2 Penguins 32-10-0
Sidney Crosby (broken jaw) was back practicing with a full shield on Monday. A great sign even if his timetable to return is still uncertain. With the Pens already securing a playoff spot (and the division), there's no rush.
3 Ducks 27-10-5
Anaheim is in the playoffs, although a two-game skid won't inspire confidence. Neither will a listless offense that has scored only two goals combined in those two games.
4 Canadiens 26-11-5
Carey Price might want to find the receipt for his new pads. (Or maybe CCM needs to refit the Habs' star goalie.) He allowed three goals on four shots against the Leafs on Saturday and gave up six goals on 29 shots in Monday's loss to the Flyers.
5 Bruins 26-11-4
The Bruins could get deeper at center shortly, not that it was much of a concern after Monday's tragic bombing at the Boston Marathon. Patrice Bergeron (concussion) may have made his return in Monday's game against the Sens before it was canceled.
6 Canucks 24-12-6
Vancouver, through Monday's action, has lost just twice this month (5-2-0), and those setbacks were by a one-goal margin. Ryan Kessler is back from a broken foot that kept him on the shelf for 19 games. Things are trending in the right direction in BC.
7 Kings 24-14-4
Throw out one game this month — a 5-1 loss to Dallas on April 8 — and Kings goalie Jonathan Quick has allowed two or more goals just twice. That's good enough for a 3-2 record, but more importantly it shows a cog in last year's Stanley Cup run could be back to form.
8 Sharks 22-13-7
San Jose is on a 7-2-1 streak, the latest win coming with a 4-0 thumping of the Coyotes on Monday. The task gets tougher Tuesday (Kings) and Thursday (Wild), but both are at HP Pavilion, where the Sharks are 14-1-5.
9 Maple Leafs 24-13-5 +2
The Leafs could clinch their first playoff berth Tuesday night in eight seasons. A victory over the Caps (and a Jets loss) would seal it, although they might want to put more than five shots on net through the first two periods like in Monday's 2-0 win over the Devils.
10 Wild 23-16-3 -1
Minnesota has yet to win back-to-back games this month, although the Wild can change that against the sputtering Oilers on Tuesday.
11 Senators 21-14-6 +1
Just about every team in the East has beaten the Devils lately, but goalie Craig Anderson's shutout of New Jersey on Friday is worth noting, as it was his first since he returned from an ankle injury.
12 Capitals 23-17-2 +1
The Caps enter Tuesday's game against the Leafs owning the longest current winning streak (seven games) in the league. This has happened minus forward Brooks Laich (groin), but at least deadline acquisition Martin Erat is back from a leg injury.
13 Blues 23-16-2 -3
St. Louis' streaky play in recent weeks is worrisome. The Blues chased a six-game winning streak with consecutive losses where they scored one goal in decisions against the Blue Jackets and Blackhawks.
14 Blue Jackets 20-16-7 +7
A four-game winning streak has Columbus even in points with the Red Wings for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. (The Red Wings have a game in hand.) Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has keyed this most recent surge, including a 29-save performance in Monday's 4-3 OT win over the Avs.
15 Red Wings 20-15-7
Detroit is cutting it close in its bid to make it into the postseason for a 22nd consecutive season. Working in the Wings' favor is the fact only two of their final six opponents (Vancouver and Los Angeles) are currently playoff teams.
16 Islanders 21-16-5 +1
Not that defense has been an issue of late, but the Isles have defensemen Brian Strait and Joe Finley back from injury. The Islanders are 7-2-1 over their last 10, the most recent game a 1-0 loss to the Rangers in OT on Saturday.
17 Rangers 21-16-4 -3
Goalie Henrik Lundqvist waited until the Rangers' 41st game for his first shutout of the season, although it was a timely one. The Rangers are 5-1-1 over their last seven games, and their remaining schedule isn't too daunting.
18 Jets 21-19-2 +2
Winnipeg's current three-game streak is helping erase the five-game skid that preceded it.
19 Stars 21-18-3 -1
The severity of rookie forward Alex Chiasson's shoulder injury — suffered in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks — could determine whether Dallas can make a late playoff push.
20 Sabres 18-19-6 +4
Could a season of tumult that led to longtime coach Lindy Ruff's dismissal end with a playoff berth? Not likely, but the Sabres are playing some of their best hockey of late.
21 Devils 15-17-10 -2
The Devils' slide reached 10 games in a 2-0 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday. The skid equals the longest in franchise history and has significantly dimmed last season's Stanley Cup finalist's chances for a return trip to the playoffs.
22 Coyotes 18-17-7 -6
Goalie Mike Smith was scratched from Monday's game with a lower-body injury. You might as well do the same with the Coyotes' playoff hopes after a 4-0 loss to the Sharks.
23 Flyers 18-21-3
The Flyers aren't mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, although for one game the numbers looked good. Scott Hartnell netted a hat trick in a 7-3 victory over the Habs on Monday.
24 Oilers 16-18-7 -2
A five-game skid apparently was finally enough for the underperforming Oilers to fire GM Steve Tambellini. In comes former Oilers coach (and player) Craig MacTavish to what he said hopes won't be "a wake."
25 Predators 15-21-8
A 5-2 loss to the Canucks extended the Preds' losing streak to seven games, equaling a franchise record. No surprise Nashville, the lowest-scoring team in the league, netted more than two goals just once during this stretch.
26 Lightning 17-22-3
Steven Stamkos could very well end up as the league's top scorer. Too bad he can't play goalie.
27 Hurricanes 17-22-2
A seven-game losing streak ended with 4-2 victory over Boston on Saturday. The questions about how a team that picked up Alex Semin and Jordan Staal last offseason could stumble this hard continue.
28 Avalanche 14-22-7 +1
The Avs are 2-0-2 since goalie J.S. Giguere's outburst last week where he said his teammates "are more worried about their Vegas trip at the end of the season than playing the games." Maybe he should have spoken up sooner.
29 Flames 16-22-4 +1
The talk in Alberta is about which team is better off: Calgary or Edmonton. There's no right answer.
30 Panthers 13-22-6 -2
The Panthers not only have the worst goal differential (minus 43), but it's not even close. (Colorado is the next worst at minus 32.) Hardly a recipe for success.

Infant day care centers are offering a very valuable service to the mankind for a long time now. With both parents working, these day care centers offer a very valuable service by taking care of their children. Day care services got formal recognition in 1869 when the French government recognized them. They first came into existence in France at about 1840 Gradually these services spread all over Europe and reached United states in the 1850's. Today these services have significantly evolved along with time and due to their formal, structured environment they are preferred by a lot of working parents.
Putting you child in the day care, has a lot of positive effects on his growth and development, here are some of them.
Day Care Centers provide a structured schedule time table that properly balances their daily activities.
Hiring a nanny can be expensive, plus many mothers are not comfortable in leaving their kids with the nanny. Day care services are reliable, they make sure that the child is being taken care. Often with a nanny there might be issues like absenteeism ,a Creche will provide regular uninterrupted service. They are well staffed and make sure that even if, their employees are on leave your child does not suffer and he gets all the attention he requires.
These services can be a great help for new parents. A new mom or dad can acquire valuable suggestions, tips and tricks from the experts about proper care. Expert advice and support can be real stress reviler in today's fast times.
Physical, social, moral and emotional development is another plus point of play houses and creches. Engaging the kids in healthy games and other physical activities like exercise help in healthy physical development from an early age, it also develops healthy habits. The interactions with other kids help in developing social skill. These interaction's help in developing communication and companionship skills in the child. They learn self control, learn to share and get along with others.
Creches and playhouses prepare the child for school, the child gets an idea of how the structure of school works and the prep-school knowledge helps them is grasping the lessons with comfort. It also helps in adjusting with the school timetable and routine.
A good quality day care service ensure peace of mind to the parents.
It is important that the montessori preschool or the playhouses is located in a proximity to your residence or work, they should be licensed and accredited. The staff should be qualified, trained and experienced. Check the schedule and programs conducted and the security and safety aspects. Most importantly, the parents should get a good vibe about the place.
Child and infant care services have and will continue to nurture the proper growth of the children.

Out of 115 million voters in 05 Indian State assemblies, in four States – Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Kerala and Puducherry – the voters voted against corruption. In Assam they had the opportunity, but did not. They voted "Congress".
In India, assemblies do have their own politics and their own provincial power clans. But the voters do reflect national sentiments as well. This 2011 May assembly elections in particular, after almost 07 years of a Congress controlled centre, showed a sense of middle class chastity. The hugely growing Indian middle class was guilty of voting a corrupt Congress led government for the second time and did not want that at least in assembly elections.
IF the Indian voter was after a "clean" alternative, they had none to choose from. In Tamil Nadu, Jayalalitha and her AIADMK is not clean at all. She too carries a bag load of corruption accusations. But the 2G Scam the biggest in Indian history to date unless another is unearthed, larger than 2G, former Telecom minister Raja, son of Karunanidhi in remand for that scam, daughter Kanimozhi questioned and taken to Courts on related charges of corruption and their DMK handing out 16 million TV sets free to the people, but 39,600 million rupees paid by State coffers after the 2006 elections, Jayalalitha looked too small.
The TN people went against the DMK with its Karunanidhi family with the Congress(I) tagged to them, in a single clear voice. That allowed Jayalalitha to walk in comfortably with a promise she would side with the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, giving her a political flavour among the Tamil vote.
Mamata Bannerjee's fate with her "Trinamool" was no different. She had the good fortune of pitching herself against a long entrenched Left mafia in the State that had developed not only a corrupt system but also a very lumpen bureaucracy, controlled by the Left for over 03 decades. That was definitely too long to bear and the alternative did not matter in getting rid of this old and feeble "Left". So Mamata walks in with her Trinamool, where the Centre had a lesser appearance.
In Kerala again, it wasn't the Congress(I) that won the elections. They would, as the UDF form the State government, with only 38 seats in a 140 seat assembly. The Congress(I) ally brought the required balance of 34 seats. Again there were issues of rice and corruption, but the Left veterans were not that bad to be thrown out. So they lost with a possibility of raking in a few seats to be in power, if they wanted to.
Except in Assam, where the possibility of the BJP formed alliance lost on the Muslim vote, to give Congress(I) the State assembly, the overall trend across the assembly elections is seen as "anti corruption" plus local issues.
This in a democracy, accepted as the largest in the world and where the voters still accept criminals as their elected representatives. The present Lok Sabha has around 30% elected representatives carrying criminal charges for crimes ranging from murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and extortions. Obviously, they are followed by others to State assemblies, where 02 contested from jail at this assembly elections and over a 100 more had charges for serious crimes.
This middle class anti corruption crusade would therefore have little depth in a democracy, that more and more becomes procedural and not functional. It would thus be interesting to see how the opinionated social activists would respond to social issues, from tomorrow.

My son's middle school class takes field trips occassionally to the public library to do research. The teachers like to take the kids to ethnic restaurants on these trips so that they try something different. Parents get to volunteer to take groups of kids to different places. Today, I went to my favorite Greek place, The Parthenon (right out of My Big Fat Greek Wedding). The kids just wanted to watch the waitress light the cheese and sausages on fire – it was a big thrill.
Afterwards, we went to Afterwords (I crack myself up). It's a remainder book shop, so everything is cheap. I haven't been in a while and I used to work right up the street, so I was a regular. I scored these:
for $5.98 – I've been looking for this for a while. I don't have any idea why I didn't buy it when it first came out. But I'm sure glad I found it – it was the only one on the shelf.
for $7.98
I found a fabulous sweater in Irresistible Knits that I must have. It's the Gatineau on page 40. I'll scan it tomorrow. It's a simple sweater with a basket weave pattern and some cables. One of those, just throw it on and go sweaters. Now if I could just find some yarn on the Elann site…

Torn Curtain (1966)
d. Alfred Hitchcock / USA / 128 mins.
The following review discusses significant plot points.
Torn Curtain has its origins in the James Bond series, which Alfred Hitchcock believed had been stealing liberally from his work in North by Northwest. There's a relative amount of truth in that, particularly the first few (and the best) installments. He became infatuated with the idea of making a "real" spy movie, something that erased the glamour and instead showed the darker side of espionage. The story of an American scientist posing as a turncoat (and fooling his own fiancée) to slip into the Soviet Union to collect intelligence seemed like it might just be twisted enough to show a spy get his hands dirty. Hitchcock had reason to believe a film like this would be a breeze — The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps, Notorious, North By Northwest are all espionage jewels. But this project would prove to be a mistake for Hitchcock; his remaining cinematic collaborations fell to pieces, and the resulting film is among his worst.
In fact, everything that's wrong with this milquetoast political thriller has been passed down through film lore: the on-set squabbling between the director and his method-actor leading man, Paul Newman; squabbling between the director and master composer Bernard Herrmann; squabbling between the director and the studio, between the director and ... well, you get it. One after another, the pieces fell apart on Torn Curtain. If the rationale behind the film was purely dubious (why couldn't he have been satisfied with the glossy and decidedly unrealistic spy flick he had perfected in North by Northwest?), then the final product was doomed from its launch.
One of the most disappointing aspects of Torn Curtain is that it features Paul Newman in his '60s heyday, and neither he nor Hitchcock seem capable of raising the viewer's pulse. Much of that can be attributed to the anemic script, adapted first by Irish novelist Brian Moore and polished by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall. (It should be noted Hitchcock tried to lure Vladimir Nabokov on board, to no success.) The script simply provides little by way of genuine suspense; the cinematographer, John F. Warren, and the editor, Bud Hoffman, lack the rhythmic rapport of Robert Burks and George Tomasini, so the sequences that should show the dirty side of spy life are too stagy. (The most famous sequence in the film is called "the farmhouse murder" in Hitchcock-devotee circles; the idea, as Hitchcock imagined it, was that the audience should observe how difficult it actually is to kill another person. Enticing, yes, but it falls flat, too.)
In theory, the typically wonderful Newman would be great as the next generation of Hitchcockian leading man, a slot most frequently filled by Cary Grant and James Stewart, but his performance as Michael Armstrong, an American physicist/spy, comes off as too apathetic and bland. But what worked for Hitchcock in the 1940s and 1950s was changing in the younger guard. Newman became frustrated because Hitchcock consistently rebuffed his attempts to understand the character to a greater degree (your motivation, Hitchcock is to have told him, is your salary). Newman's resignation is palpable in the character of Armstrong, and it doesn't help matters much that Julie Andrews is utterly miscast as Sarah, Michael's nitwit assistant/fiancée.
Accounts vary as to how excited Hitchcock was about the two leads. Hitchcock's agent, Lew Wasserman, lobbied for them, but apparently they weren't high on Hitchcock's radar. Still, he was familiar with both and he relished the chance to undercut their images, specifically Andrews's, by placing the two as an unmarried couple in bed together in the sexually charged first scene. It's slightly humorous in that deft Hitchcock way, but there isn't much joyous in Andrews's performance. The role seems to call for a firm but skeptical woman who believes she has lost her husband to the global enemy. (He can't tell her of his spy work, after all.) Deciding she'd rather have him than her home country, she sneaks overseas with him, but the film portrays her from this point on as confused, muddied, blank, and ineffectual. First drafts of the script call for Sarah to be the viewpoint character; between the two in this incarnation, Newman is certainly more engaging, and I wouldn't have wanted to see how Andrews would have fared as the lead. But the film is ultimately weaker on a narrative level for switching its point-of-view because the possibilities of Sarah's psychological dislocation prove more intriguing than Michael's scientist-as-spy persona. And once you set weak performances and a weak script against a set with a color palette dominated by shades of gray, it's not difficult to experience the sluggish.
The general lethargy can also be traced back to the score. Torn Curtain was the first Hitchcock film since 1955's The Trouble with Harry that did not have its music written or overseen by Bernard Herrmann. (He advised the aural elements of The Birds, but there was no formal score.) Hitchcock might have begun the film in denial, but by its end he knew what he had on his hands and wanted Herrmann to save the film outright — "If you cannot do this then I am the loser," the director wired to the composer ahead of Herrmann's work. However, Hitchcock had also come to believe the composer was recycling too much of his work and the director and the studio both wanted Herrmann to produce a pop score to fit with the height of pop rock in the mid-1960s. (Horrifically, Universal even wanted a possible musical number for Andrews.) Herrmann agreed, but turned in a traditional score anyway. Fighting ensued; in Hitchcock's version, he fired Herrmann, and in Herrmann's version, he quit. The absence of such a score — pins-and-needles mixed with heavy and sonorous brass — affects the film in exactly the way Hitchcock imagined it would. What was sluggish and needed emergency resuscitation received no such thing.
Devotees, particularly myself, are always curious as to why Hitchcock's later films are perplexingly bad. After all, he is one of cinema's giants, with so many masterpieces under his belt that he's secured his place in the pantheon of twentieth century art. Keith Waterhouse, who co-scripted the polishing of the film's first draft, has as sound of a theory as I've ever heard on why Hitchcock's later work suffers. It has to do with numerous miscalculations on the director's part: a strong sense of caution and trepidation previously unfelt in the 1950s; an incapability to new crews and actors; a preoccupation with seemingly irrelevant details; and, finally, a move downward toward satisfying the expectations of a younger audience instead of challenging them as he had done for the previous two decades. A Herrmann score (for example) wouldn't have saved Torn Curtain, but it's indicative the situation Hitchcock was in: he wanted something more contemporary, but was unaware how to pull it off. His reign as the Master was coming to an unfortunate close, and this sort of spy film, which might have worked in a different incarnation thirty years prior, became one of the most mediocre offering from the director, as tense as a limp balloon.

2013 – Dirt Crew (DE)
2004 Dirt Crew aka James Flavour and Break 3000 launched Dirt Crew Recordings after releasing their first EP's "Cleaning up the Ghetto Part 1+2" on MBF. The track "Rok Da House" became one of the key records of 2004, the beginning of the Electro House hype and a big hit that gave the guys worldwide recognition on the dancefloors. Also Moodmusic released two 12's with the brilliant "808 Lazerbeam" and "Darkside" in 2004 and the "Domino" E.P. in 2005, but things really got wild when they remixed Sasse's "Soul Sounds" which again went straight in the charts and was voted one of the best remixes of 2005 in the german "Groove" magazine and has been dropped by all major DJ's. They also remixed the first single of the ?Who made Who? album on Gomma in 2005 and made classic remixes for artists and labels like Jennifer Cardini, Silicone Soul, 2020 Vision, Crosstownrebels, Freerange and Breastfed.

Cooling parts
Cooling means the removal of heat. In HVAC, a cooling process is usually identified as one which lowers the temperature or humidity (or both) of the ambient air. The effective temperature includes not only the temperature and humidity of the ambient air but also radiant effects and air movement. Some adiabatic cooling processes, i.e., evaporative cooling, do not actually remove any heat, but create a sensation of cooling by lowering the sensible temperature of the air.

Spirax Sarco recirculating feedwater spray systems type RFS are designed to provide additional flash steam condensing capacity on boiler feedtank applications. When the condensate return flowrate is high and the cold make-up flowrate is intermittent it is likely that valuable flash steam will be lost through the vent. To ensure that this flash steam is condensed it is often worthwhile to take feedwater from a relatively cool part of the feedtank and pump it to a spray nozzle.

All solutions to engineering problems start with a calculation or estimation of the duty which must be met (i.e., quantifying the problem). The purpose of heating and cooling load calculations, then, is to quantify the heating and/or cooling loads in the space(s) to be conditioned. Rough estimates of load may be made during the concept design phase.

All air-handling units (AHUs) and many terminal units, if they are not self-contained, require a source of heating and/or cooling energy. This source is called a central plant, and the means by which thermal energy is transferred between the central plant and the AHU is usually a fluid conveyed through a piping system. The fluids used in HVAC practice are steam, hot or cold water, brine, refrigerant, or a combination of these. The equipment used to generate the thermal energy is described in Chap. 7. In this chapter we discuss the transport systems. ...

By definition, air conditioning involves control of the air temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and distribution. It follows that an air-handling unit (AHU) of some kind is an essential part of an air conditioning system, though not necessarily of a heating-only system. The function of the AHU is to provide air at a quantity, temperature, and humidity to offset the sensible and latent heat gains to the space (in the cooling mode) and the heat losses (in the heating mode), while maintaining the required temperature and humidity in the space....

Cannot boot to Windows installation disc
I have a Win 7 installation disc that I burned from the downloaded iso, I've used it several times on other computers. But this HP laptop will not boot from it, after the boot selection screen I just get a blank screen.
I burned another copy from the iso, but same result.
I know the laptop can boot from an optical disc because I just today booted to a linux boot disc.
It is regular BIOS, not UEFI.
Any ideas?
|My System Specs
|13 Feb 2015
Are you just hitting the F12 or F10 when trying to boot the disc?
How about making the Optical Device as the priority Boot in the BIOS Setup
|My System Specs
|14 Feb 2015
Windows 7 Pro x64 Windows 10 Pro x64
No "Press any key to boot from DVD" ????
|My System Specs
|14 Feb 2015
What is the ISO source? Link? Check the HASH to make sure it completed download and is a clean copy, from Step 1 of Clean Reinstall Windows 7
What tool did you use to burn to DVD?
Try writing to flash stick using UltaISO also provided in tutorial.
|My System Specs
|14 Feb 2015
I don't think it is a problem with the disc, I've used it several times before on other machines. I can't remember for sure where i got it, it is legitimate, i think from Digital River maybe. Not sure what I burned the disc with, but I did make a new disk yesterday using Nero.
To boot the computer, I am hitting Esc to get to the boot menu, then choosing the optical drive. I know this is the correct process for this machine since I just booted to a Linux disk.
I can try checking the hash and also try a boot flash drive, I did not think of that.
And no, I am never seeing "press any key to boot from DVD", just a blank screen after selecting the optical drive in the boot menu.
|My System Specs
|14 Feb 2015
I would never expect a Win7 DVD to boot if burned with Nero. You need an image burner. Use ImgBurn at 4x speed. Or write to flash stick using UltraISO Software To Create Bootable USB Flash Drive
Confirm the ISO HASH as anything could be possible if you're using Nero to burn image disks.
|My System Specs
|15 Feb 2015
You really need to put the optical drive as the priority boot, configure it on the BIOS set-up.

On 21 April 2015, the European Council adopted its position at first reading on the 2nd Information Accompanying Transfers of Funds Regulation (see our earlier blog, here).
On 22 April 2015, it republished the text of the Regulation, in exactly the same form as before, save that it's now dated 21 April 2015, and carries an additional reference ("PARLNAT 30").
On 23 April 2015, a draft Parliamentary Committee Report was due for publication, but it's yet to appear.
The Parliament's Legislative Observatory is still to be updated to show when the Parliament will vote to adopt the Regulation.
Whilst these things can be difficult to predict – the Committee Report and the updating of the Legislative Observatory seem imminent.

Apparently the four most terrifying words in a relationship. Except that our relationship is ALL about me talking. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to continue that trend in our fantastically one-sided conversations.
First of all it's more like: WE NEED to talk. The collective, infinitely plural we. People. Humans. We need to talk. Sometimes just getting together and shooting the shit (figuratively speaking) is a good thing. It's a good thing, because it lets us know that we have people that we can talk to. But we also need to be talking to our kids, and it can't be a one sided interrogation. This is important for me right now, Bug is having a hard time at school, and it's not bullying. He doesn't feel as though he is being seen for who he is. At 8, this is fairly normal. They have finally got a real grasp on this school thing we force them to go to, and they are starting to realise that they can change how they behave socially, and that it will cause ripples on the surface of the pond, which interact with someone else's ripples. Popularity, and being cool are now important.
It is important that he knows I understand. So I tell him true stories about when I was his age. About the bullying I suffered, about the bullying I'm responsible for. It's insanely important in this endeavor not to lie. And not to explain things too long term, sure I had to put up with the same crap. But he can't understand that none of it will matter in ten years.
He thinks that Alvin the Chipmunk is the height of cool, and we had a talk about how Alvin treats his friends. Which is not great, I asked Bug if he would want to be friends with Alvin. He said no. Then we decided that we need to remake cool. We need to make it something we can be proud to be real friends with.
Our current thing is RAK. Random Acts of Kindness. Just little things, to make people smile. Saying something nice about someone's style, or paying for someone on the bus. Smiling at a stranger on the bus. All of this in addition to simple manners.
It is interesting that we come to this point as I watch 13 Reasons Why. It reminded me that people under 25 feel everything amplified, always and forever… and that's just in the moment. I'm in no way minimising the bad things that happened to the characters, nor am I defending any of their behaviour. I'm saying that it reminded me how they feel things. Because we adults do forget. It also reminded me that we need to talk. There's that collective, infinitely plural again.
But we also need to listen.

Via XXL.com – The Atlanta rapper drops the official music video for "Bottles Up," his collaboration with Puff Daddy.
The two indulge in one epic night of partying together. The new visuals start off with the two veteran hip-hop moguls riding in the backseat of a white Rolls-Royce. Both Jeezy and Diddy flaunt their stacks of cash in the lavish vehicle before they arrive at a nightclub to perform for a cluster of fans in attendance, throwing out money into the crowd like confetti. Being that Jeezy is the multicultural advisor of Avion Tequila, and Diddy owns Ciroc and Deleon, they make sure to incorporate some heavy product placement throughout the clip.
Eventually, the rap stars end up in a liquor store, where they purchase some junk food before heading over to a yacht to finish off the night with a bang.
Last week, Jeezy had social media and fans buzzing after he unveiled the tracklist for his forthcoming album, dropping Friday (Dec. 15). The project features a record with Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole called "American Dream."
Watch the official music video for Jeezy and Puff Daddy's "Bottles Up" below to see their incredible night play out.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124

Anyways, its long overdue for a tech IPO.. I long for the days of "irrational exuberance."
And yet revenue and profits keep going up........ Sure, they are a "one trick pony", but that darn pony looks like Secretariat.
Except that Secretariat is in court and facing the real possibility of losing to Over's thoroughbred.
I would definetly stay away at 300 P/E. You'd have to be nuts, or have a very short memory.
OTOH, maybe they'll pump up the Nasdaq some, before the shorts violate them.

They have all of these little fun projects like GMail and Google News
While IMHO the stock will be wildly overpriced, I wouldn't call Gmail "little fun project" unless, of course, you consider Yahoo! mail and hotmail just fun little projects too. G has made clear how they are going to make revenue from this.
<<irrational exuberance>>
those were times!
The dutch auction thing is fine and all the different things Google is doing to be Google, I just find it rather limited or off-putting for one of the real international search engines to limit the IPO, or basic IPO info, to the US only...
We have not undertaken any efforts to qualify this offering for offers to individual investors in any jurisdiction outside of the United States..
I guess you can probably bid from outside the US by going through Morgan Stanley or CSFB but the above is not exactly inviting for the non US..
Cheap? Expensive? Just right?

As an SEO with a past being bonded with Ag Edwards & Sons Securities and a top 5 main SEO keyword term ranking 1st page I say 36 billion is way to rich.
I suspect a more realistic price to be 1/2 of what Yahoo! can do as a whole so I say if anything 18 Billion is realistic.
This tells me that after the open if the savvy agree with me the stock could see-saw 50% below the open price if it does open at $108.00 +/- /share.
So my target is $70.00 or less.

Business Week News: Google This: Investor Beware
The Web search outfit's business is terrific, but its long-term outlook is cloudy.
Graph: [images.businessweek.com...]
In the early days using an old fashioned style keyboard you would ask Googlebot to find a list of places you could eat that evening, instead of offering you a full list of exotic food sources along with a selection of fine wine it would return pictures of people's feet.
Although at the time it was not good for finding a list of restuarants, it did help people diet more effectively.
People would blame Google's algo, Google would blame Spammers, Spammers had the most advanced techology for finding peoples email addresses. Speculation on who had the better technology even made it's way into the betting shops. Back in the year 2004 the question everyone asked was who's technology was more advanced, the one that could search the internet and find email addresses of people wanting breast implants or the one that crawld the internet searching for information people did not want.
Thankfully by the time Google did their IPO the algos started to behave themselfs, this ultimately lead to a period where webmasters actually made money working to build a better Internet.
Google thanked these lovely people with a statement that they would never forsake them again and all would live in harmony with each other. Googles stock value rose to new levels, Fat Cats, Employers, Investors and the webmaster community enjoyed the fruits of a new playing field.
The Google PHD's went from trying to prevent reverse engineering to investigating Quantum Physics. By doing so they found a mathimatical formular that allowed Googlebot to crawl inside the minds of people and cache a list of things people did, with this new found information they were able to produce Googlebot Version V6 and identify people with good honest minds.
This number was 48, the funny thing is this:
If you bought $48 of Google shares in the year 2004 they would be worth $666,666,666 in todays electronic money.
If is for this reason I actually think Google shares are very cheap in deed ;)
Interesting story..
I'll buy with the intention of selling short and making money.
So given this ridiculous P/E ratio I'm definitely considering shorting Google as well. I was wondering if you had a good stock broker for doing this? And yes I realize this is an unusual post in a webmasterworld thread.
PE ratio does not mean a thing. neither do research reports from investment banks. These things are useless.
What matters for trading is investor psychology. If everybody is thinking of shorting the stock, go long. Always buy a stock when everybody hates it.
Shorting is not for everybody. Potential risks are limitless unlike going long where the poterntial risk is the price of the stock.
If you want to go long Google, wait till 200 million more shares are released in about 6 months and buy just after that.

NOW who else thinks selling short is a good idea. This IPO is a train wreck.
I am not sure if buying is a good idea, but I am certain that selling short is not.
If the market catches some "irrational exuberance", you could easily see yourself having to buy stock at $100 above the price that you sold short. Also don't you have to borrow the stock to sell it short? i doubt your broker will have any inventory to do that. I sleep more comfortably knowing my downside.
/has not sold short and limits himself to buying the stock or buying/selling options.

The Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) program is grounded in the Air Force core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do.
The objectives of Air Force JROTC are to:
- Educate and train high school cadets in citizenship
- Promote community service
- Instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline
- Provide instruction in air and space fundamentals
The curriculum emphasizes:
- The heritage of flight
- Development of air power
- The aerospace environment
- Human requirements of flight
- Aerospace vehicles
- Principles of aircraft flight and navigation
- The space environment, space programs, space technology, rocketry, propulsion and the aerospace industry
Cadets learn:
- Military customs and courtesies
- Flag etiquette
- Citizenship in the United States
- The elements of survival, first aid, health, wellness, and fitness
- Basic drill and ceremonies
- Effective communication, management, human relations, and life skills
To reinforce what is learned in the classroom, cadets participate in several outside activities such as field trips to military bases, aerospace facilities and industries, and museums. Cadets also participate in parades, leadership schools, drill competitions, military balls, honorary academic groups and community activities. Each academic course consists of Aerospace Science (AS), Leadership Education (LE) and Wellness components.
Curriculum opportunities include:
- Academic studies
- Character education
- Life skills education
- Leadership opportunities
- Team-building experiences
- Intramural competition
- Field trips / training opportunities
"As teenagers, we all strive to achieve our own individual identities. Being in the [Air Force JROTC program] forced me to take the more challenging path toward knowing and creating the person I am today. Instead of "acting out" through clothing and appearances, I learned to set myself apart by my actions and interests. The uniforms were the same, but my fellow classmates and I were as different as individuals could be. As I went through high school, I watched my friends at home change in appearance, but they behaved the same way. On the other hand, I knew I had changed through how I conducted myself, the people I enjoyed being around, and the things or activities I valued."
--Charles Swaim, Class of 1977
