Q: How do you make a functor instance of Matrix and Vector from hmatrix library? Both Matrix and Vector constructor has kind *->*, so they look like value constructors. But when I try something like
instance Functor Vector a where
    fmap g ( Vector a ) = Vector ( g a )

I get this error:
 Not in scope: data constructor `Vector'

which makes sense since I can't make a vector by using let v = Vector [1..3] anyways.
But checking the source I see that both Matrix and Vector constructor are exported from their respective modules:
Vector.hs
module Data.Packed.Vector (
    Vector,
    fromList, (|>), toList, buildVecto..
) where

Matrix.hs

module Data.Packed.Matrix (
    Element,
    Matrix,rows,cols...
) where

Dido for applicative functor, monad, etc.

A: As Conrad Parker said, we need Storable instances.
Using recent ghc extensions we can define a more general Functor':
{-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds, TypeFamilies #-}

import Numeric.LinearAlgebra
import Foreign.Storable(Storable)
import GHC.Exts (Constraint)

class Functor' c where
  type Ok c u v :: Constraint
  type Ok c u v = ()

  fmap' :: Ok c u v => (u -> v) -> c u -> c v

instance Functor' Vector where
  type Ok Vector u v = (Storable u, Storable v)
  fmap' = mapVector

A: module Data.Packed.Vector (
    Vector,
    fromList, (|>), toList, buildVecto..
) where

This exposes the type Vector, but not any of it's constructors.
Your instance declaration corrected:
instance Functor Vector where
    fmap  = V.map

(assuming you import Vector as V, and further assuming you're talking about the Vector from the vector package).

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see you mentioned the package name. For hmatrix Vectors, it would be mapVector instead of V.map.
EDIT_ 2: As mentioned by the others, for hmatrix this won't work because Matrix and Vector require Storeable for their content.

The Auckland Rescue Helicopter had a near-miss with a drone while flying to a serious crash in Northland on the weekend.
Pilot James Taylor said they were flying at a height of 400m over Takapuna on Sunday evening, when they saw the drone flash past.
It was only three or four metres away from the helicopter.
There could have been serious consequences if the drone had hit the chopper, Mr Taylor said.
"Some of them can be reasonably big and heavy and at the sort of speeds we fly at there's a good chance it would smash the windscreen, if it hit our windscreen, or if it hit our rotors or tail rotor, then it could do some fairly significant damage there," he said.
"Absolute worst case, potentially it could actually take the helicopter down or seriously injure somebody in the helicopter."
According to Civil Aviation Authority rules, drone operators must stay 4km away from any airport or helipad and drones must not fly above 120m.
Mr Taylor said drones were frequently mentioned in safety briefings.
"There are more and more of them out there, but this is the first time I've seen one that high up and that close to me.
"The problem is it's an education thing - there are probably a lot of people out there with drones who have got no idea that those rules even exist," he said.
Professional drone operators generally informed the rescue helicopter of their plans and caused few problems, he said.
"It's the ones who don't know what the rules are and don't tell us what they're doing that are the ones that worry us.
"It is something that we are concerned about and we try and keep our eyes open, but they are difficult to see and there's not much we can do to avoid them."
The Civil Aviation Authority has been notified about the incident, but does not have enough information about who was operating the drone to investigate at this stage.
If someone comes forward with further details, an investigation could be launched.

Edge of Tomorrow 8/10
Edge of Tomorrow - 8 out of 10
FREAKING AWESOME MOVIE! Rarely am I excited about a movie. Best of the Summer Hollywood flicks thus far and I can see it holding up until the Summer movie season comes to a close. :)
300 Rise of an empire 6/10
Eva Green... BOOBS... 10/10 :naughty
It's the legs for me. I need to get that statue that GG made of her.
Mad Old Lu
Monuments Men: 5/10
Disappointing. I was looking forward to it since I like the subject matter. But I have to say Clooney did a bad job. The characters were flat, the dialogue was bland, the story was very superficial, the music was kinda bad, the tone was inconsistent and way too lighthearted. The cast is fantastic, but they had a terrible script to work with. Such a shame.
The Purge - 5/10
Didn't like it, I found the family beyond annoying and was wishing for them to all die a horrible death.
Yes, but the daughter in the school girl attire was smokin' hot! :)
Yes, might be the only thing I enjoyed in it TBH.
The Last Day on Mars - 6.5/10
Thinner - 6/10
Grant Morrison: Talking with gods 8.5/10 **** you Alan Moore! How can you hate this guy?
Edge of Tomorrow - 8/10
Finally, one more blockbuster with BALLS!
Solid script, nice directing and great designs.
22 Jump Street - 8.5/10
****ing awesome!!!!! IMO it's better than the first one. I for one had way more laughs! :rock :rock :rock :rock
Awesome:rock
Definitely looking forward to this one!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie - 3/10
Thor: The Dark World 8.5/10
Blast from the past. That film was terrible! :(
Hmm.. a glowing endorsement from one of our harshest critics here.. might have to check it out.
Despite his antics & insane beliefs, I still dig Tom as an actor. The trailers look good for this too anyway from where I'm standing so.. yeah.
Slither - 7/10
The Blair Witch Project - 9/10
I'm halfway through Man of Steel, for the third time. What a truly awful movie. If I could be bothered finishing it one day I'll give it a 5.
I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago. All the hatred for it is beyond merited, none of it was exaggerated at all.
I somehow managed to avoid all the hate for it, I went into it completely naive to its critical reception. I just checked Rotten Tomatoes - 56% :lol
56% seems slightly generous. I'll admit I went into it bias toward the Reeve films, but even removing that out of my mind while watching it... I still thought it was bad.
I love that movie.
Me too:hi5:
2 of us :rock
Thor: The Dark World 9/10- Enjoyed All Hail the King -the Mandarin short movie
Meet the Millers 8/10
Thor: The Dark World - 9/10
Funny thing is, I still haven't seen the first Thor. Or any of the Captain America movies. :lol
I personally enjoy the first one just a little better.
Willow Creek, 4/10. Not a very good bigfoot movie, let alone movie.
Count me in too!
The Winter Soldier especially is a great movie. Very clever and "small" compared to the usual let's save the world from a major threat situation. The threat is there, but the whole movie plays out like a more small scale espionage thriller, only with superheroes.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 8.5/10
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 8/10
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 7/10
Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince - 7/10
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - 7.5/10
One more to go!
The edge of tomorrow 7.5/10 It's a very pragmatically written, solid movie, with great acting, fitting tone, very likable characters, but there's something it lacks for me, I didn't feel a certain je ne sais quoi, but I do need to see it again, maybe I was a little distracted.
Rocky - 10/10

Sidious-66
Friday the 13th (2009) remake.
A really good reimaging or whatever you want to call it, take on Jason and he looked badass and participated in some really good kills in this movie. An enjoyable romp from start to finish.
7.5 from me.
Oh and Trent Sutton was one helluva character. :rock
Not a movie, but a Netflix series...
Orange is the New Black Season 2 - 9 out of 10. Brilliant!
Anyone who knows me, should know that a 9 out of 10 score by yours truly is rare, especially for a whole 13 episode season.
Can't wait for the reboot :)
Edge of Tomorrow. 10/10.
Yesterday I was watching "True Lies" 8/10

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II - 8/10
Master Wayne
One of the creepiest movie monsters I've seen.
Totally agree. A really memorable and effective character design. Most people don't realize that the ghost of Mama was 99% practical makeup, with the flowing hair being the only digital element.

Reservoir dogs - 8/10
Red Dragon - 8/10
I think that the guy who played Mama was also in [REC]. Those last 20ish minutes of that movie were freaking scary! :rock :rock

Great to hear! :yess:
Sweet, the lady wants to watch it tonight so hopefully i can take her :lol
The Perks of Being a Wallflower 9/10
I've passed on this movie about 100 times. I like Emma Watson but I wasn't 100% sold on it and didn't have any drive to see the movie until someone I know highly recommended it to me. I gotta say I really, really enjoyed it. It's really an underrated gem of a movie.
It was a lot of run.I would highly suggest seeing it in theaters.

:hi5:
Been waiting on BS3 forever :gah:
Just saw...
The original Friday the 13th
For the first time - 6/10
It took forever to get going, there's no real plot, and the acting is alright at best, but there was moment I was like "woah that's pretty gnarly."
Being born 10+ years after this movie was made, I can appreciate this movie even though its from another generation. Pretty good, want to see how the 2009 remake was handled.
ZsaszSays
2009 is not a remake, its a "re-imagination" of the original. Their hardly even close to the same movie.
Friday The 13th (Original) - 8/10 based off of pure nostalgia. I watched it with family and friends in my backyard on a big projector and made a party out of it. Good times. :D
White House Down - 7.5/10
It's silly as can be, but I like it.

Bleh, that sounds even worse :lol lets completely take it in the wrong direction instead of what made the original a classic :lol
Robo Cop 2014 - 6.5/10. - based on feedback I expected a stinker. I didn't think it was too bad.
For a Woody Allen movie: 9/10
For a movie: 6/10
22 Jump Street: 7.5/10
How To Train Your Dragon 2 - 9/10
Can't believe how good this movie was, the first one was excellent yet this manages to surpass it.
Father's day weekend, thought of my dad who was a western movie nut. I watched Once Upon a Time in the West. Jason Robards is a badass. Who knew? Fantastic film but not for ADD kiddies.

You guys throw 8's & 9's around like they're candy. LOL
Wouldn't a 5/10 be average? Sounds like you should have given it a 1/10.
Bias toward the Reeve films like Superman 3 and 4? Was there really anything good about Superman 3 & 4?
Richard Pryor was funny.
The blond henchwoman was hot
Clark vs superman
The hot daughter of the new owner of the daily planet
Clark and superman showing up then leaving was good
The hot daughter of the new owner of the daily planet? Yeah that certainly carried the film...LOL Wow...those films were campy, silly, and plain ol' crap.
All true, but she was still hot ;)
Grand Theft Parsons - 7.5/10
LOL, I know! But when it comes to Dragons, a lower rating would be an injustice.
I actually found Superman vs Evil Superman fight to me pretty good.
ArmoredFoe
Her - 7/10
A little slow because there wasn't a lot going on considering the plot, but I have to say I enjoyed it. I like weird quirky movies like that. It was interesting in a different kind of way.
Frozen - Great movie - 10/10
We Are The Millers - 8/10
How To Train A Dragon - Great Movie 10/10
How To Train A Dragon 2 - Fantastic sequel 10/10
22 Jump Street - 9/10
Nah man, haven't you heard? You can't give 9s and 10s anymore, unless previously approved by the high lords.
The concept of perfection being subjective is heresy 'round 'ere.
Would you see a 5/10 movie, even based on your own taste?
It was a rubbish movie imo, but to be fair I've seen plenty worse. Les Patterson Saves The World = 1/10.
Baneofdemon22
I don't see a "10" as perfection, since nothing is perfect. I see it as something that is at the peak of it's genre. I think something flawed that's innovative and moves me emotionally is much better than something flawless that's extremely derivative and safe. I try to look at the overall picture, and even if I hate the movie, I'll give it props. I try to be objective, but that's still subjective.
creature4000
Pacific Rim... 5/10! Not terrible but not worth watching a second time.
The Grand Budapest Hotel, 10/10. I've seen it three times and for my money its the best film of the year so far.
Can't argue with that.
It was hard to watch giant robots, with artillery and energy weapons, resort to punching. LOL! :lol
The Lego Movie - 8.5/10

Love that Fargo sig of yours! :lol

Pleasantly surprised how well thought out the movie was.
And Jax teller was terrible
The Wind Rises, 10/10.
The best scene! :lol :lol
Jurassic Park - 10/10
We're The Millers - 7.5/10
How it's changed since then. :lol
:rock :clap
Its was such a surprise and a very entertaining summer movie and a lot more thought provoking than I was expecting.
The Raid: Redemption, 10/10. Remarkable.
The Raid 2: Berandal, 10/10. One of the best sequels, ever.
Sounds like a Spinal Tap album. :lol
Jodorowsky's DUNE, 8/10. Really sweet doc on probably the biggest scifi film to never be made though its influence runs through countless films to this day.
Lone survivor 7/10
Lego movie....."everything is awesome..." 6 / 10
Mr. Poppers Penguins 7/10
Nice family movie.
Gungrave - 10/10
Still THE BEST adaptation of video game ever.

Still THE MOST UNIQUE anime ever.
I miss 2004 sooo much...
TurdFerguson
I just watched the Lego Movie. Holy ****, it ruled. It was really enjoyable, I'm 25 and I don't think I saw any jokes that I would qualify as really "kiddy" or anything. I throughly enjoyed it. 9.5/10
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - 6.5/10
I absolutely love the LOTR trilogy, but im not loving the Hobbit series so far. It could also be that I like the LOTR story much better than the Hobbit to begin with. And they are adding way too much that isn't in the book, dragging things on, and the fight and battle scenes just dont have much sense of danger. They are always moving, jumping, ducking, too perfectly and easily. Just no sense of chance that something bad could happen. The world seems more CGI to me than in LOTR. In LOTR felt that world was much more real. So havent really loved the Hobbit series so far. But ill continue until its finished.
EXOTICLEX
Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit 7/10 Chris Pine was great. Really enjoy his films. KK has really aged. Wow. Not quite the looker she used to be. Not much action at all but overall not a bad flick.

The Raid 2: Berandal 9/10.
The most brutal and intense action film I've ever seen. Wow.
MOS on blu - 7/10
My first home viewing, third overall. I liked it better at home for some reason.
drjedisith
i too am well..bloood? that means i liked it better at home too lol
The Big Lebowski - 10/10
still brilliant after all these years.
Deliverance - 8/10
Read the book in high school but I wasn't prepared for that infamous scene.
The Lifeguard - 7.5/10
well paced action and clever (Lots of twists and turns), with humour.
Rear Window-10/10
Rear Window is amazing! I'm glad to see you liked it so much!
This was actually the first time I'd seen it. Prior to this, I think I'd only seen Psycho, The Birds, and To Catch A Thief. So, as far as Hitchcock goes, I've got a lot of catching up to do.:lol
X-Men DOFP: 9/10
Took me a while to go see it. Excellent. Built up on what First Class had started and took a quantum leap forward.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 - 10/10
Glad you enjoyed it man!
That's awesome! I highly reccomend Dial M for Murder, Harvey, Vertigo, and Shadow of a Doubt!
I like movies similar to Simone and Angela so I went ahead and bought this Bluray. Watched it once and put it up for sale on Craiglist, and I loathe putting things up for sale on Craiglist. Its entertaining enough to sit through but its one of those movie where I can only watch once.
Grandmas Boy - 10/10
One of the few movies I have watched over 10+ times.
Godzilla: Final Wars - 7/10
So far my favorite Japanese Godzilla movie. We all watch these movies for the monsters, but the human characters and fight scenes were pretty good in this one. Plus their is a nice MILF in this one.
Hey pturtle! :wave Yep! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Never doubted it and I'm glad the tide turned. Kudos to you for fighting the good fight and defending it all the way through to the movie's premiere! :clap
Thanks man! I hope the crowd here goes a bit easier on Apocalypse since this turned out good hahaha.
Robot Chicken DC special 2 7/10
300: Rise of an Empire - 8/10
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before, but to each his own. I did enjoy the monster fight scenes.
Jameson Rook
Dumb and Dumber. 7/10.
A solid, well executed and soundly acted comedy. Though as an adult, I can't stand Jim Carrey's trademark juvenile humor. :lol
Edge of Tomorrow 8.5 /10 loved it great time
I liked the future style this movie has and it is prolly what ours will become in 20 or so years. But the movie became depressing. 6/10 is accurate.
SEXX LUTHOOOOORRRRRR!! :rock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_czH0iA1dDk
I thought some of those Matrix style fight scenes towards the end, were absolute nonsense. :lol
The American Captain guy with the big moustache, looked like he came straight out of an anime cartoon.. which was kinda cool I guess.
Transformers: Age of Extinction 5.5/10. Enough with Michael Bay. The only positive thing it's the transformers! Oh Man!They are Awesome!The rest is crap. I'm really worried about TMNT
The Pervert's Guide to Ideology: 7/10
A pretty thought-provoking film. The part about Brazil and the attraction of bureaucracy was something I hadn't thought much about before.
Art of the Steal: 6/10
Fun heist movie starring Kurt Russell, though nothing extraordinary when you get down to it. It's great seeing him in starring roles. Worth a view.
Me, Myself and Irene.
A decent and perfectly watchable R-rated comedy riddled with tired, repetitive and unfunny jokes. The only saving grace is the 3 black kids and Renée Zellweger.
I love Me Myself and Irene, it's one of my favorite comedies.
If the first was an 8/10, this is a 7.5/10. Very good, but it never really drew me in. The animation was kinda awkward in places, you could see the heavy hand of the animator all over the place.
Having being a HUGE 300 fan and Leonidas fan I thought Themistocles was great. Not on par with Leonidas but very cool. What they tried to do with the plot line was very interesting. I would now like to see a 3rd installment where they hunt down Xerxes(even if that did not happen in real history). Would be fun to watch the god king go down.
I used to love this as a kid, but I think if I'd rewatch it again at my age it would not do so well for me.
You know dirty jokes are funnier when you're a kid.
Transformers: AoE 5~6/10
Tried to shove so much different plot lines in your face that nothing worked.
I really wished they utilized Nicola Peltz more, they just used her for eye candy in the beginning and then just damsel in distress the rest of the way.
The Edge of Tomorrow 6/10 - it was pretty average...
The Grandmaster - 6.5/10
Enjoyed this mostly on an aesthetic level, felt much of the story was not fleshed out enough, and Zhang Zi Yi's role felt unnecessary.
Beautiful to look at though, wish I was as good a cinematographer.
Rudy - 9.5/10
Predator 8/10 a great flick which holds test of time
DarthTrafford
Hot To Train Your Dragon 2
Austenland - 6/10
Didn't know reviews of Porno's were allowed.
Absolutely agree. This movie gets my blood going. :)
I used to own it on VHS many moons ago.. :lol
I only remember bits & pieces now, but one that never leaves me, is the scene where he's suckling on the woman's breast. I just forget what happens before that. :lol
Cold in July 7/10
Pretty decent but not as good as I thought it might be.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park - 8/10
The Truman Show - 10/10
True Lies - 9/10
The Golden Child - 7/10
Taken 2 - 7/10
Knight & Day - 6.5/10
Planet of the Apes (1968) - 8.5/10
[Planet of the Apes (2001) - 4.5/10
Best thing about this was I saw The Lord of the Rings Trilogy trailer before it.
Yeah, the designs and ape-makeup are pretty good, but that's all. An unnecessary remake.
The only good thing about it is the monkey makeup and the ending. I wanted to see that movie........
The Counselor - Van Down By The River/10
I've watched it a couple times recently and had the same thought. This movie ages well.
RJMacReady16
Agreed on all fronts.
I think that's what I gave it. I couldn't believe how bad it was :(
O Brother, Where art thou? - 8/10
Very clever and fun. I thought it was amazing that they "built" everything out of real lego blocks, down to the water, fire and smoke. And I liked how they made it look like stop motion animation and gave the pieces realistic movements, i.e., the pieces didn't bend. I wasn't thrilled with
the live action stuff.
I thought it was too obvious and literal that they went there. I liked it better and thought it was more clever when it was all alluded to and meant as metaphors.
Austenland: 5/10
It was ok. My wife read the book and thought they did a bad job adapting it, but also said the book wasn't much to begin with. I personally was interested because it was directed by Jerusha Hess who did Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre and Gentleman Broncos, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed for their quirkiness. I thought she would add something interesting to the movie, but sadly it was fairly straightforward. I did enjoy seeing Bret from Flight of the Conchords!
Anchorman 2: 6.5/10
I thought the first half was hilarious. Unfortunately I thought the second half didn't sustain the laughs, once Ron went to the lighthouse.
The Harrison Ford
cameo was very cool. And I would have liked to see more Kristen Wiig and Baxter.
Not so obvious to the target audience though :lol
I want to rewatch the classic five as well as the Burton remagining and Rise. The original is hands down a 10/10 for me. Of all the sequels, I think I enjoyed Beneath most still being set in the same world as the original, having a human as the main protagonist, and the awesome addition of General Ursus. I remember thinking they became lesser quality as they went on but still enjoyable flicks. Hated Burton's and haven't seen it since it came out. That movie is the reason I am always skeptical of remakes, reboots, and reimaginings. I didn't even want to see Rise. I thought I'd hate it. I wanted to hate it. But I ended up really enjoying it. Might be second to only the original. Can't wait to see Dawn.
I watched one POTA movie and the ****in' thing didn't even have any apes in it! It was full of people with bad acne in bath robes. :lol
Sounds like you got a bootleg copy of the outtakes reel. :lol
Oblivion - 7.5/10
Riddick - 8/10
300 Rise of an Empire - 8/10
Boat Trip: 7.5/10.
OSCORP
Her 6/10
Godzilla (2014) 5/10
Godzilla (2014) 5/10Ouch! I guess you can't win 'em all. I enjoyed the movie.
Predator - 8.5/10
Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn - 9/10
GodzillaSpawn
Lego movie - 6.5/10
Very visually appealing but overrated as well. I did not find it very funny and wasn't into the characters. Legos weren't my favorite as a kid either, so I think many of the references and easter eggs weren't as cool to me as, say, the ones in Wreck-It Ralph.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 - 10/10
I think the original is a 10/10 as well and im really happy with what the sequel did with the characters and the relationships. The animation was stunning. I love hiccup and toothless' relationship. This film had a ton of heart.
Idiocracy - 7.5/10
Captain Phillips - 9/10
godzilla 2000 - 3/10
The Road 8/10
mikedanger
22 Jump St
Not as funny as 21 but still had some pretty huge LOL moments
Oculus - 6.5/10
Decent enough but it all felt a little teeny to me with no real sense of dread.
Suckerpunch - 6/10
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary - awful/10
Eesh. Godzilla isn't doing too well in this thread lol
Robocop new version: 6.7ish/10
Surprisingly good! Very different from the original in tone and intention. This film doesn't have much of a subversive political statement underlying the film (the one that is there is pretty explicit and in your face), and in that sense, it doesn't have the same artistic value IMO. But as an straightforward action drama it works very well. I thought Murphy/Robocop guy, Oldman, Keaton, Rorschach guy, and of course, Omar from the Wire were all extremely good in their roles. These characters felt fairly believable with logical progressions over the course of the film, apart from Keaton's last scene, when his character became a bit of a caricature for the purpose of allowing us a satisfying resolution.
Transformers AOE 7.5/10
Really liked the Dino bots, but only showed up in the last 20 mins, :gah: also Optimus killing humans intentionally WTF, oh yeah and off screen transformations that's just lazy.:cuckoo:
Dredd 7.5/10 plays it too safe, lacked dark humor, but lots of style and lots of Judge Dredd, I want the sequel damnit! :cuss
Agreed. Huge, huge fan of the original, hated the idea of the remake. I was ready to tear the remake a new one but it was surprisingly good. It's probably due to the movie being it's own different thing rather than trying to outdo the original, kinda like the many iterations of superhero movies.
I gotta watch that someday. Still can't get the Stallone version out of my head. Does the reboot has The LaaaaaaaaaaaaaWww? :lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycmH1tMp_0s
Raising Arizona - 7/10
:lol he never fails to make me lol
Oh it's MILES ahead of the Stallone version, Urban IS Dredd :lecture it's not suuuper rewatchable, cause it's not very layered or anything, in fact, this rating was a bit lower because of that, it was higher the 1st time I saw it, but it's definitely very good and captures the character perfectly.
Also, there is one "law" moment, but way better.
Don't think it's a spoiler, it's just a line that has no consequences and the context isn't really important, but sure is badass,
Mama is not the lo, I am the lo :lol
Stallone was The LOL.
Urban is THE LAW!
Hotel Transylvania - 7.5/10
:lecture :goodpost: :lol
Monsters vs. Aliens - 7/10
True Detective S.1 - 10/10
Son of Batman: 6.5/10
Pretty good. One of the lesser DC animated films though IMO, following the trend of the Nu-52 JL movie. Kind of a weird portrayal of Deathstroke. Doesn't seem like he had his enhanced powers here.
Yeah, it was pretty bland and forgettable. Damian's relationship with Bruce is completely wasted.
Buried - 8/10
Jurassic Park III - 6.5/10
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - 9/10
Silence of the Lambs - 10/10
Boy, does this one ever hold up. One of the best thrillers ever made. I'd forgotten just how chilling Hopkin's performance as Hannibal was in this film compared to his campier turn in Red Dragon.
Indeed. Great movie and always will be.
This is 40 - 6/10
world cup 10/10
John Carter 7.5/10 - rewatched
Pisses me off that this movie was far better than it was given credit for during release. Between critics and purists talking crap about this film it cratered in ticket sales and there will never be a sequel.
MLB: Dodgers vs Rockies.
Breaking Point - 2/10
The Thing 1982 - 10/10
Highlander - 10/10
The Thing prequel: 2/10
Totally agree with you! I love that film and hate the fact that it bombed. Such a shame. I'd love to see multiple sequels to this, but too bad it won't ever happen.
Hesher - 7/10
Mud - 8/10
The marketing for it was virtually non existent too - it was handled poorly overall. :(
An excellent film.. shame on Disney.
Transformers Age of Extinction - 7/10
A lot better than I expected.
I didn't care for it either.
The Lego Movie: 8/10
Deliver Us from Evil - 7/10 - A decent slow turn flick. More along the lines of a dark Law & Order with an exorcism in it. Bana pulled off a Bronx accent well.
The Starving Games - NA/10 - Yea a 'scary movie' spoof of Hunger Games. I did chuckle more than I should have. The ending has a spot on impersonation of The Expendables cast that is worth it.
Same here. Pleasantly surprised by this one. Easy 8/10 and might even rate it higher with repeat viewings.
This movie had so many opportunities to be awesome and it's very generic. I will never forgive the fact that they cgi'd over all the practical effects. Having seen that effect reel of the original stuff, it looked so much better and scarier. The CGI ended up totally flattening everything out and ruined some incredible work.
Universal being afraid of people in the test audiences they did, the movie was ready to ship but then they spent millions on dollars to cgi everything just because some teenagers said the practical effects looked "funny and stupid"
I thought The Thing (2011) was pretty good. I didn't read anything about it before watching. I thought it was simply a reboot/remake of the '82 version, so I was surprised to see it tie-in to the beginning of the '82 movie. Pretty cool.
Yeah, the CG was over the top and hilarious at times, but I was able to overlook that and still enjoyed the story.
Princess and the Frog - 6/10
The animation in this one is great, but for some reason I just can't get into the story.
The Mask - 7/10
What bugs me about it was that the Thing didn't really try to hide itself whatsoever like it did in the original.
Hook - 7.5/10
My friend and I did an audio review for Tansformers 4.
A movie rental at 5/10
http://youtu.be/7y0JoqO1a6o
The Last Exorcism 2. 3/10.
What garbage considering I enjoyed the story and twist of the first.
Superman Returns - 8/10
I am so stoked to watch this film!!
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: 8/10
Enjoyed it. I was very impressed by Stiller's direction. It was visually poetic. Very sweet. Liked the songs as well.
Rescue Dawn. 8/10.

HOW TO AFFORD A DESMOSEDICI…….Get divorced and find the right woman!
It's not everyday that you come across a Ducati Desmosedici, let alone one with the extremely rare and expensive GP7 kit. Vince Hoskin, a keen follower of the BeMoto Facebook Page, got in touch with us asking if we could provide a quote to insure his - how could we refuse!
The Ducati Desmosedici D16 is an ultra rare (only 1,500 examples produced for public purchase) road legal version of the Desmosedici MotoGP bike. At a list price of just over £40k (and pretty much only available to those with a Ducati 999R) it was out of the reach of all but the select few. Like the more recent and even more expensive (£138,000 expensive!) Honda RC213V-S it is very much a MotoGP bike with lights, mirrors, a horn and a number plate.
But……. Vince did manage to acquire one…....... it wasn't without sacrifice - It did however include the purchase and then the sale of a Ferrari along the way!!
Vince took a risk purchasing the Ferrari, at a time when the classic car market and especially the modern classic market was at a bit of a low. He purchased the car to cheer him up realising that he would not lose much money - but actually the Ferrari turned out to be quite a buy, it appreciated in money during his ownership. Things were certainly on the up!
"The bike, registered in 2010 (quite late in the build ) had the held back individual number 21. It also had the GP7 upgrade - with two separate exhausts, one out the tail and the other by the right foot peg…..as well as slightly different bodywork including reshaped lower fairing and different tail unit. As an added bonus, the bike came with the original bodywork and another two exhaust systems - standard and race.
The bike really was the perfect example……. but I still only had a couple of grand saved!….but I was desperate to get the bike. I asked if they would do a deal on my Ferrari - we did a deal! I handed over the Ferrari and about 10 grand….and the Desmo was then mine!!
Vince…..what a wife you have….. her words and advice are so very true!

Gabriella Jóźwiak - Award Winning Journalist
The Independent on Sunday - Ebola virus outbreak: A first-hand Liberian tragedy – 'We begged, take the baby to hospital... They refused'
"Princess Mayers sobs as she describes how Ebola has destroyed her life. The 17-year-old Liberian, whose story The Independent featured in May, had already suffered profoundly before the deadly virus struck the country.
Aged 14 and an orphan, she was forced to work as a prostitute to survive, and bore a child. A British charity called Street Child found her in the streets of West Point, one of the largest slums in the capital, Monrovia. It intervened and set Princess and her daughter on a path towards a brighter future. But because of the impact of Ebola, she is now struggling to go on. And her baby is dead.
The Ebola epidemic has claimed more than 2,600 lives across West Africa, with more than half of those deaths in Liberia. Last week, Barack Obama called the outbreak "a threat to global security", and announced that he would send 3,000 US troops to affected regions.
Princess's child Angie did not die of Ebola..."

Your post is very helpful, thank you. The words "Ebola Virus" are terrifying to those that hear them. The same words are equally terrifying to those who get the disease and just as frightening for the relatives of the infected victim. All the fear is with due cause.

Anna's movement gets widespread support
Dehradun, August 23
Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement has gained momentum across the state. Extending support to him, members of the Akhil Bhartiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest outside the residence of Haridwar MP Harish Rawat in Dehradun today. Students of MKP PG College and the Mahadevi Institute of Technology also held a march and raised slogans against corruption in the country.

CII paper on growth agenda for Uttarakhand released
As part of its public policy work, the CII Uttarakhand State Council released a paper on "Growth Agenda for Uttarakhand". The document suggests specific policy measures, initiatives and projects which will help Uttarakhand sustain the growth momentum that it has achieved over the last one decade of its existence.
Demand for including Laldhang in Kotdwar district
With four new districts coming into existence in Uttarakhand, the residents of the Laldhang area in Haridwar district have started an agitation demanding that Laldhang be included in the newly formed Kotdwar district, which was earlier a tehsil of Pauri Garhwal district.

Pithoragarh, Champawat plunge into darkness
Pithoragarh, August 23
There has been no power in the districts of Pithoragarh and Champawat for the past 48 hours with several poles supporting high tension lines having been uprooted by major landslides caused by the incessant rain near Basuli village on the Almora-Pithoragarh road. The disruption in the power supply has led to a shortage of water in the districts.
Early morning rain floods New Haridwar
Early morning rain today though brought respite to the residents of Haridwar from humidity, it also brought with it problems galore as a major area of the city was almost submerged. Choked drains, nullahs and ill-planned drainage system are to blame. The worst-affected was New Haridwar area.

Dept asks farmers to take preventive measures
Nainital, August 23
The Agriculture Department of Udham Singh Nagar district has issued directives for farmers to protect crops in view of incessant rain that may lead to the spread of crop diseases.
'Present proposals on flood-control steps'
The Udham Singh Nagar administration has ordered that proposals should be presented to the tune of Rs 10 crore each from every block under the MNREGA for carrying out flood-control measures.
Higher Honorarium for Safai Karamcharis
Proposal forwarded to Finance Dept
A proposal to increase the honorarium from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 per month for contractual safai karamcharis and to create 3,377 posts for safai karamchari was passed today at a meeting of the Urban Development Department.
Tribune Reporters
While the BJP has already come out in support of the Lokpal Bill, Left parties, the CPI and the CPM, and the UKD (Panwar) have also joined the anti-corruption movement stating that measures were required to be taken to eradicate graft. These political outfits also organised a procession under the banner of the Uttarakhand Chhetriya Morcha. It started from Parade Ground and after passing through Globe Chowk, Astley Hall and Rajpur Road, it culminated at Clock Tower.
Members of the Pradesh Udyog Vyapar Mandal Samiti and the Doon Auto-Rickshaw Union have also joined the movement in Dehradun.
Meanwhile, Vice-President of the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam Raghunath Singh Negi has extended support to Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement.
However, he said the menace of corruption could not be curbed till the funding of political parties was not checked.
Addressing mediapersons here today, Negi said: "Only the Lokpal Bill cannot check corruption in the country till various funds or financial rights given to gram pradhans, district panchayat heads, MLAs and MPs were stopped."
He said: "According to law, a pradhan cannot spend more than Rs 30,000 and an MLA more than Rs 7 lakh to fight elections. However, despite this, a person has to spend Rs 20-40 lakh to become a block head and Rs 3-5 crore to become the head of the district panchayat."
He further said those who spent a huge money on fighting the elections later on collect the same by indulging in corrupt practices.
MUSSOORIE: More than 1,500 members of the Mussoorie Taxi Owners Association have come out in support of the Lokpal Bill and joined Anna's movement against corruption. They organised a procession in support of the Bill, which started from Picture Palace Taxi Stand and culminated at Library Bazaar today. Wearing Gandhi caps, they raised slogans in Anna's support.
President of the association Hukum Singh Rawat said the menace of corruption required immediate attention.
Meanwhile, more than 20 non-political organisations took out a procession under the banner of the Mussoorie Against Corruption in support of Anna Hazare. The procession started from Landour Bazaar and culminated at Gandhi Chowk.
Vishal Sharma, director of an NGO, which is working on various issues in Uttarakhand, said there was a widespread resentment against corruption in the country that needed to be addressed at the earliest. He said the movement would not end here and they would organise seminars in schools to create awareness among students against corruption. A signature campaign was also organised at Gandhi Chowk in support of the Bill.
Held at the Anandmayi auditorium, the "Unnayan-2011" was inaugurated by Chancellor Dr S D Sharma who termed the occasion as the confluence of senior and junior students.
The welcome song was sung by the Akshat group, which was followed by a humourous skit casting sarcasm on ragging and loopholes that have crept in the education system.
The Priyamwada, group of senior girl students, enchanted the audience with spiritual and patriotic songs.
At the conclusion, all first-year students were introduced to the senior students. The seniors assured them of constant support in academics and extra-curricular activities.
Head of the Gayatri family Shail Jiji in her message urged students to have balance in life and focus both on academics as well as moral-spiritual-religious aspect for their overall development.
But mass clapping was reserved for Dr Pranav Pandya whose clipping of handing out a lighted torch to Gandhian Anna Hazare a few days back at Ramlila Ground was shown.
Slogans related to Anna Hazare's movement reverberated in the auditorium as students took pledge to fight against the menace of corruption and also to support Hazare-led civil society movement.
Elaborating on the recommendations, Dr S Farooq, Chairman, CII Uttarakhand State Council, said the state had achieved a remarkable growth of 12.9 per cent per annum as against the national average of 8.6 per cent.
This growth had been led largely by manufacturing. The sector in the state grew at 27.5 per cent per annum as against the national average of 9.5 per cent. However, going forward, within manufacturing, the focus would have to be on medium and small enterprises and encouraging ancillarisation. This was necessary to be able to achieve a wider geographical spread for manufacturing. Till now most of the new units had come up in districts of Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar and Dehradun.
Hill development was another key focus area for achieving sustainable inclusive growth. The report suggested making tourism the mainstay of hill development. Related activities like the souvenir industry, handlooms and handicrafts also need to be focused upon.
Medium and small enterprises based on the local resources, for example agro-based units or units based on processing of herbs and aromatic plants should be encouraged.
The service sector, specially the education sector, could play a vital role in promoting hill development, the report suggested, by creation of 'Education Hubs', one each in Garhwal and Kumaon.
Good infrastructure, specially connectivity, was essential to support the economic activity in the hills, emphasised Dr Farooq.
The CII suggests the setting up of "skill gurukuls" which are residential skill facilities for school dropouts from BPL families. Another unique characteristic of the "skill gurkul" model is its partnership with the industry which ensures employment to the employable.
The key areas that the report focuses on include zoning plans for districts, improving connectivity, industrial development, special tourism zones, skill gurukuls, apna-ghar, low-cost housing scheme, improving urban infrastructure, hill development and environment conservation.
The report has been presented by the CII to Prakash Pant, Minister, Labour & Planning, Uttarakhand, Harak Singh Rawat, Leader of the Opposition, Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha, Satpal Maharaj, MP, Lok Sabha, as part of its dialogue with various political parties to share and exchange ideas for the development of the state.
Various organisations and regional outfits have joined hands to press the state government to include Laldhang in Kotdwar district citing various reasons, including the proximity to Kotdwar and the lack of development of the Laldhang Assembly segment.The Dagadiya Jan Kalyan Samiti is carrying out various programmes in the area urging the leaders of different parties to raise the issue at all the platforms.
Also the residents are demanding that Laldhang is included in Kotdwar district and made a block to ensure its overall development as Roshanabad-situated district headquarters of Haridwar is almost 40 km away, which makes it quite tough for the residents to pay visits to Roshanabad to get their administrative work done. Kotdwar is just 25 km away from Laldhang and is easily accessible to the residents of Laldhang.
"Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has done a laudable work in creating new districts considering the tough geographical conditions of the state. We urge him to include undeveloped and backward areas like Laldhang in new districts as then only a specific budget will be allocated for development of these areas. Moreover, people will have more representation in the state Assembly and panchayats too," said secretary of the samiti RS Manral.
Naveen Chamoli, treasurer of the samiti, cites another reason to include Laldhang in Kotdwar. He points out that considering the cultural aspect too Laldhang is more similar to the Kotdwar region with a large number of people from hilly regions having settled there.
He added if their demand was not met then the residents would be forced to go on fast unto death. The people of Laldhang have had faced government apathy previously under the Uttar Pradesh government.
Among other organisations which are supporting the demand are the Jai Siddh Baba Taxi Union, Uttarakhand Kranti Manch, Laldhang Poorva Sainik Samiti and the Mahila Mangal Dal.
Landslides hit power supply to two districts, water being distributed through tankers
"The damaged electric poles are being replaced with new ones and the process will take a week's time," said NS Toliya, General Manager, Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL), Pithoragarh.
According to sources in the Jal Sansthan, the sansthan has started distributing water through tankers as the water schemes supplying water to these districts are nonfunctional in the absence of power. "We have pressed into service four tankers to distribute potable water in the town," said GK Mishra, Executive Engineer, Jal Sansthan, Pithoragarh. According to the district administration, 30 internal roads and two highways connecting the districts with the rest of the world have been closed due to the landslides for the past eight days.
"After the Pithoragarh-Tanakpur highway was opened for two hours on Sunday, the trucks carrying cooking gas and oil have reached Pithoragarh town, giving some relief to the beleaguered residents, but the highway was blocked again by fresh landslides," said MC Joshi, District Magistrate, Pithoragarh.
According to the disaster management office of the district, the supplies of essential goods to the town of Jhulaghat and the areas adjoining Nepal have been affected for the past three days as a 50-meter landslide has blocked the Pithoragarh-Jhulaghat road at Jamirpani village, about 20 km from Pithoragarh town.
"The supplies of essential goods to the Sashastra Seema Bal pickets on the Indo-Nepal border have also been affected. The administration has carved out an alternative route to resume the supplies to these pickets as well as to Jhulaghat and the nearby Nepali market," said RS Rana, Disaster Management Officer, Pithoragarh.
According to the officials of the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam, owing to the road blockade, the supply of cooking gas cylinders has been affected. The backlog of booked cylinders has gone up to 15,000 in the past eight days. "Against the demand of 2,500 cylinders per day from our 90,000 customers in and around Pithoragarh, we are able to provide only 800 cylinders per day," said AS Bankoti, in charge of a gas agency owned by the KMVN.
Early morning rain today though brought respite to the residents of Haridwar from humidity, it also brought with it problems galore as a major area of the city was almost submerged. Choked drains, nullahs and ill-planned drainage system are to blame. The worst-affected was New Haridwar area. The busiest commercial hub, the Chandracharya chowk, wore a deserted look as it was almost impossible for people to reach the intersection, which is the gateway to the industrial area of SIDCUL and suburban Jwalapur.
Similarly, the Bhagat Singh chowk was almost submerged where most of the vehicles broke down while crossing the waterlogged roads. Around six police personnel were deployed at the chowk while traffic police was deployed on the roads leading to the Chandracharya chowk to make sure that no person risk his life crossing the submerged roads.
Traffic was diverted at the Chandracharya chowk to Tibdi, BHEL and the Shankar Ashram-Jwalapur road where massive traffic jams were reported.
It was only by late afternoon that water subsided and traffic situation became normal. After the rain had stopped, the Fire Brigade members used pump sets to drain out the water accumulated on the roads, but they were was only pressed when the rain stopped.
Municipal Corporation Executive Officer BL Arya said owing to the rainy season work on the drains had been affected at the Bhagat Singh chowk. A long-term plan needs to be prepared to rid the stretch of waterlogging, for which he is in talks with the corporation.
Adding to the problem is the construction material left on the roadsides by the government agencies executing various works. It led to the blocking of the drains. Several two wheelers skidded due to the material scattered on the road.
Particularly in the Jwalapur and Kankhal areas, the Public Works Department has stocked stones, cement and granite on the road side for laying a road, but it's been almost two weeks neither has the work started nor the raw material has been taken care of.
Residents have taken this issue with the PWD Executive Officer, OP Singh, who has assured them that the raw material would be taken care of.
The major destruction took place at Rudraprayag district today, where rain resulted in the collapse of a number of houses, blockades of several roads and washing away of crops.
Fortunately, no casualty was reported from the incident. In Kumaon division of the state, Almora and Pithorgarh got blocked due to fall of debris at Dhyadi and Makdao areas.
Similarly, the Almora-Haldwani road stood disconnected at Kulagarh whereas the Almora-Panar Ghat road may take some days to be restored.
In Pithoragarh district, the Dharchula-Tawaghat road, the Almor-Serighat Berinag road, Pithoragarh-Jhulaghat and Jhulaghat-Taleshwar roads had been blocked at several places.
In the lake city of Nainital, a 100-mt stretch of the Jyolikot-Bhawali road caved in at Bhumidhar. Further, Raatee ghat-Betlaghat was also blocked due to debris.
In Champawat district, the Devidhura-Champawat road was blocked. The key Rishikesh-Badrinath highway stood blocked at Sironbagad in Chamoli district.
The Rishikesh-Gangotri highway was blocked at number of places with blockades reported from Gangnane, Sungar, Bhatwadi, Sukhitop and Thirang areas.
Meanwhile, Border Roads Organisation and District Administration officials are working round the clock to restore the road communication in the affected areas.
Agriculture Protection Officer BP Maurya said: "Heavy rain coupled with a high amount of moisture has made the crops both disease and pest prone."
He has appealed to the farmers to adopt preventive measures and go in for the use of pesticides to protect their agriculture produce. Maurya has advised the farmers to go in for the use of fiproline or cartop hydrocholire or chlorophriphis to tackle the pests damaging the shoot of the plants (tana chedak keet). They have also been advised to spray cyunalphas for pests attacking the leaves of plants.
Maurya said to control bacterial leaf blight, farmers must drain out water from their farms and spray the plants after dissolving 15 streptocyclin or 500 gm of copper oxychloride in water.
He said to prevent the spread of fungal diseases in paddy, farmers should use emidachloprid or buprofagin after dissolving it in water. The department also advised the use of carbondazim or ediwinphas or tricyclozol to tackle 'jhonka rog'.
To deal with the sheath blight disease, farmers have been asked to go in for the spray of thiophinate methyl or propakonaloz or carbondazim.
Similarly, for the sheath rot disease, they have been asked to spray carbondazim. The districts of Udham Singh Nagar and Haridwar are known as the food baskets of Uttarakhand as they provide the bulk of agricultural produce, particularly wheat, paddy, cereals and other grains like maize. The recent spell of incessant rain has caused a lot of hardship to the farmers residing in the districts. Besides the problem of waterlogging that has led to the threat of diseases in fields, farmers are also facing the problem of cutting away of large chunks of fertile land by various rivers passing through the district after their water levels rose.
At a meeting held at Rudrapur today, The DM, BVRC Purshottam, asked Chief Development Officer YK Pant to seek an explanation from officials responsible for laxity in Management Information System feeding the district.
He claimed that flood-control measures adopted in the district over the last one year have borne good results.
He has asked the Block Development Officers to submit proposals for the coming year within a month so that works can be undertaken.
have also been asked to undertake on-the-spot inspections for analysing the flood situation and cutting away of land by rivers and prepare a work plan which must be cleared at the emergency meetings of panchayats. — TNS
The proposal for creating new posts for safai karamchari and increasing the number of contractual employees from 120 to 180 has been sent to the Finance Department.
Chairing the meeting of the Urban Development Department, Urban Development Minister Madan Kaushik said all proposals had been sent to the Finance Department for approval.
He also held discussion on the vendor policy and also on the long-pending demand of bringing the civic bodies employees under the ambit of the state government.
Chairing the meeting, Urban Development Minister Madan Kaushik held a detailed discussion on the vendor policy that is in the final stages and has to be implemented by the state government.
The issue of pension for civic bodies employees, after they were brought under the ambit of government rules and regulation, has been raised for the last one year.
A government order regarding regularisation of malin bastis through the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Awas Yojana has already been issued.
Madan Kaushik also called upon officials of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to ensure timely completion of work and full utilisation of finances allocated for sewerage and water schemes under way in the state.
Those present at the meeting included Principal Secretary Urban Development Dr Ranveer Singh, Additional Secretary and Director, Urban Development, Nidhi Mani Tripathi and others.

'Boss of bosses' gets 20 years for running massive drug ring
By Travis Andersen Globe Staff,December 14, 2018, 2:56 p.m.
Operation Triple Play has landed a "boss of bosses" in federal prison for 20 years for his role in a sprawling family operation that moved drugs from Mexico to Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, prosecutors said Friday.
Juan Valdez, 51, of Milton was sentenced during a hearing Friday in US District Court in Providence, according to the office of Rhode Island US Attorney Stephen G. Dambruch.
His lawyer couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Valdez pleaded guilty in July to charges of conspiracy to distribute a kilogram or more of heroin, cocaine, cocaine base, and fentanyl, and illegal reentry after deportation, according to prosecutors and legal filings.
In a statement, Dambruch's office said Valdez and his two brothers ran the Valdez Drug Trafficking Organization, which arranged for "numerous" multi-kilogram shipments of heroin and cocaine from Mexico to stash houses in Cranston, R.I., and Woonsocket, R.I.
Once the contraband was cut, it was supplied to mid-level and street-level dealers in the Providence and Boston areas as well as Hartford, Conn., the release said.
And the cash poured in.
The feds seized $180,040 from the floor of a "shrine room" at a stash house on Woodbine Street in Cranston on April 10, 2017, plus another $169,505 from a hidden compartment in the kitchen floor, records show.
The following day, investigators seized another $1,465 from the Cranston address, as well as a separate haul of $8,598 from a Milton residence, according to legal filings.
Valdez was ordered to forfeit the cash to the government following his guilty plea.
Prosecutors also said the ring dealt in opioids in pill form; the crew apparently got tripped up by a cooperating source.
According to the plea agreement, Valdez, his brothers, and a woman named Tanya Croteau "personally delivered cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, heroin containing fentanyl and fentanyl to a cooperating source for which they were paid a total of $43,670."
The drug ring also had a few customers and suppliers with colorful nicknames, including individuals identified as "The Cousin" in Boston, "The Maestro" in the Dominican Republic, and two others dubbed "The Doctor" and "The Mexican," according to court records.
Valdez was "previously deported from the United States on four occasions and has not received permission to reenter the country," the agreement said.
His brothers, Claudio and Hector, both of Woonsocket, haven't fared much better in court.
Claudio Valdez, 46, received a 20-year term on Nov. 28, and Hector Valdez, 45, is slated for sentencing on Jan. 18, the release said. The feds called the probe "Operation Triple Play," in reference to the three brothers.
All three now have immigration detainers lodged against them, meaning they'll be subject to deportation after they serve their time.
"During the course of Operation Triple Play, which the FBI Safe Streets Task Force launched in September 2016, the investigation into the Valdez Drug Trafficking Operation resulted in the purchases or seizures of laboratory tested and confirmed controlled substances totaling approximately 142g of crack cocaine, 1,654g of cocaine, 3,836g of heroin (of which 2,183.3g contained fentanyl), 3,493g of fentanyl, and more than 137 lbs. (62 kilograms) of cutting agents," said the release from Dambruch's office.

High School Hockey
Recruiting: Another Shea for Maine
By Jeff Cox@JeffCoxSports Sep 3, 2015, 8:59am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Recruiting: Another Shea for Maine
University of Maine head coach Red Gendron
Matt Dewkett
Marshfield High School sophomore Neil Shea has joined his brother Pat in committing to play college hockey at the University of Maine. He stood out to Maine assistant coach Ben Guite the past few months at the Chowder Cup Pre-Draft and at the recently completed River Rats Jamboree.
The junior-to-be is a '99 who plays split-season midget hockey for the perennially strong Neponset Valley River Rats 16U. The left-shot forward is a pesky player who isn't afraid to go into the dirty areas to win battles for loose pucks. He's a good skater with a quick release.
While he doesn't possess the same offensive skills as his two older brothers at the same age, there is a lot to like about his game and he might be a more well-rounded player than either Brandon or Pat. The biggest difference in his game recently has been the development in how assertive he is. He appears to be gaining confidence and playing with more purpose, with and without the puck.
Older brother Brandon, a '95, was a former BC commit who will play for the Windsor Spitfires in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) after bouncing around the QMJHL the past few seasons. Fellow Maine recruit Pat, a '97, was selected in the seventh round by the Florida Panthers in this past June's NHL Draft. His father, Neil, Sr., is a scout for the Colorado Avalanche.
Shea is expected to matriculate to the University of Maine for the 2017-18 season, but could potentially be pushed back a year to 2018.

From JonBenét Ramsey's Murder to the Disappearance of Natalee Holloway: How Unsolved Crimes Become the Stuff of Obsession
The only thing more frenzy-inducing than revisiting an infamous crime is revisiting a cold case

Is there anything more obsession-inducing, more worthy of a dive down a 10-episode rabbit hole of evidence and interviews and theories than a real, grisly, tragic, disturbing crime?
And that would be a real, grisly, tragic, disturbing crime that hasn't been solved.
With almost every network awash in true crime dramas or docu-series these days (and if isn't true crime, then it's made-up crime), audiences have continued to be eager consumers of the nitty-grittiest of details when it comes to the most infamous crimes in recent memory—and some, such as the still-unsolved murders committed by the unidentified (or identified-many-times-over) Jack the Ripper in the 19th century or the real-life Hollywood noir that was the 1947 murder of the "Black Dahlia," aspiring actress Elizabeth Short, that aren't so recent.
Even some officially solved cases feel open again thanks to series probing the timeline of events, such as Netflix's Making a Murderer or the podcast Serial—both of which took on the cases of convicted murderers and poked various holes (blatantly in the former's case and more subtly in the latter) in the prosecution's story.
To what end, we'll soon find out.
Biggest Unsolved Murder Mysteries
Rehashing certain crimes never gets old, and in fact it has become most high-concept to come up with a fresh viewpoint and re-tell the tale, especially if new information is beyond our grasp. Quentin Tarantino's next movie is going to be about the Manson Family. Ryan Murphy unspooled American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, a story we thought we all knew, in Emmy-winning fashion last year, and he'll follow that pop culture triumph in 2018 with the already hotly anticipated ACS: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
Dick Wolf won't bother to thinly veil the headlines with Law & Order: True Crime, the first season of which will tackle the 1989 murders of Kitty and Jose Menendez at the hands of their sons, Lyle and Erik. And then of course there's the rapid speed at which Lifetime churns out true crime sagas, including the upcoming Menendez: Blood Brothers, starring Courtney Love as Kitty Menendez, and I Am Elizabeth Smart, starring U.K. actress Alana Boden as the titular 14-year-old who was kidnapped from her bedroom and held captive for nine months not all that far from her Utah home.
And not only are these decade(s)-old crimes, but they're ones that come with answers—not always the most satisfactory ones, when it comes to the ever-haunting "why?" but some justice nonetheless.
So call the world a little bit more obsessed when there are no answers.
ABL Studio/ZUMAPRESS.com
Almost 21 years later, no one has ever been charged with the murder of 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, found in the basement of her family's spacious, suburban Colorado home on the day after Christmas in 1996.
A dozen books have been written. Names have been unearthed as possible suspects over the years, only to go right back into the ground. Just last year a CBS special presented evidence that seemingly pointed the finger at JonBenét's brother, Burke Ramsey—who then sued the lead investigator featured in the special for $150 million. Lifetime did another JonBenét movie. Netflix followed a few months ago with the eerie Casting JonBenét.

The 20-year mark also recently passed for the still-unsolved murder of Notorious B.I.G., who was gunned down after a party in the middle of one of L.A.'s biggest thoroughfares in front of seemingly countless eyewitnesses. His slaying, often taken into account with the equally unsolved murder six months prior of hip-hop nemesis Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, has made for countless conspiracy theories as the evidence has been sifted through the years, the net encompassing an ever-growing cast of characters. Johnny Depp plays one of the lead investigators on Biggie's case in the upcoming film LAbyrinth, while the USA series Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. is slated for early next year.
There is no such thing anymore as a story that only crops up around "anniversaries" or other milestone dates from the case. There's really never a wrong time to seek justice, after all.
And ironically, not knowing the "who" allows people to pay more attention to the victim(s), many of whom tend to get lost in the scramble to understand the mind of a killer.
Holloway Family
Also growing colder every day while the desire for truth still burns is the case of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, a recent high school graduate who vanished while on a class trip to Aruba in 2005. At her father's request, so that he could access money he'd saved for Natalee's college fund to pay for her brother's tuition, she was declared legally dead in absentia by an Alabama judge in 2012.
Joran Van Der Sloot, one of the local boys questioned by police during the investigation and then arrested multiple times in connection with the case, is currently in prison in Peru for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez. Natalee was last seen getting into a car with Van Der Sloot and two of his friends, brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, before failing to show up for her flight home the next morning.
But despite the world having identified a real piece of scum of the earth in Van Der Sloot, Natalee's body was never found nor has there been any real closure for Beth and Dave Holloway, the teen's parents who've tirelessly never given up their quest for justice.
"I have my answer as to what happened to Natalee, and he's sitting in prison in Peru," Beth said on Today last year. She continued, "Justice is being served for Stephany Flores, thank God. And he is in prison in Peru. But justice has not been served for Natalee."
Van Der Sloot at one point promised to tell the Holloways what happened to their daughter in exchange for $250,000, $25,000 of which Beth wired into his account, only to get more lies from him in return. He's been indicted on extortion charges and the Peruvian government says he'll be extradited to the U.S. to face them in 2038, after he's served his 28-year sentence for killing Flores. He's altered his story multiple times over the years, at one point telling Fox News he sold Natalee into slavery for $10,000 before calling back to say he'd made that up.
While We Wait for the JonBenet Ramsey Docu-Series, Here Are 7 More Bizarre Crimes That Also Need a Deep TV Dive
"I guess most people do look at anniversaries, but I still think about it every day,'' Dave told the Alabama Media Group in 2015. "That's something you'll never get out of your mind...The emotional trauma has a way of healing, and a person doesn't realize it until time goes on. When something comes up significant, you fall back down into that emotional state of trauma. I try to avoid those things as much as I can."
"You're always thinking we're going to get an answer quickly and it never comes. I never dreamed it would be 10 years, and we would not have a solid answer."
Dave Holloway's ongoing search for answers is now featured in the new Oxygen docu-series The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, which premieres Aug. 19. (He and Beth were long divorced when Natalee went missing. She and JonBenét's father, John Ramsey, struck up a friendship in 2007 after meeting at a fundraiser.)
On Today this morning, Holloway and investigator T.J. Ward revealed that DNA testing is underway on human remains found during the course of an 18-month investigation, all of which will be addressed on the show.
"When we determined these remains were human, I was shocked,'' Holloway told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. "I know there's a possibility this could be someone else, and I'm just trying to wait and see."
Holloway also revealed that they were put in touch via an informant with a man whom they said had direct knowledge about what happened to his daughter. If the remains do turn out to belong to be Natalee's, "it would finally be the end," he said.
And while only a relative handful of cases have received the sort of attention that the Holloway and Ramsey cases got (and continue to get) as far as regular-people-turned-celebrities-by-way-of-tragedy go, there's no shortage of cold cases deserving of another look.
Netflix proved that in high-profile fashion recently with its critically acclaimed docu-series The Keepers, about the 1969 murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, a nun who had uncovered systemic abuse at the Catholic school where she was teaching in Baltimore. Her body was discovered two months after she disappeared and her killer was never found. The seven-episode series didn't solve the case, but it pointedly indicted a corrupt system as two of her former students sought to uncover the "who" and in turn helped uncover the "why."

Oxygen's Dick Wolf-produced Cold Justice, which returned for a second season on July 22, features former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and her team of veteran investigators who've been everywhere from Oregon to Mississippi to Wisconsin to Flint, Mich., picking up the trails of small-town cases that are so cold the trails were abandoned years ago.
The season premiere found Siegler in Huntsville, Texas, to probe the murder of Mary Jane LeFlore, a young prison sociologist with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice who disappeared after leaving work one night in 1991. LeFlore's badly decomposed body was found in 1993 and her death was ruled a homicide. He husband, Larry LeFlore, who secured a divorce before her body was found and collected insurance money, was a suspect but there was never enough hard evidence for an arrest.
Until the Cold Justice team showed up in November 2016, that is. Their fresh eyes on the case file helped local authorities zero in on LeFlore and he was charged with Mary Jane's murder in June.
13 Crimes That Shocked the World and Changed Our Culture Forever
It really is all about the fresh eyes, whether they're gazing at a 150-year-old serial killer or the biggest scandal of the 1990s.
But the endless fascination with true crime, of which we're pretty much guaranteed an infinite supply so long as humankind persists, isn't just about gory details or people's never-failing tendency to swivel their necks at an accident as they're driving by. We want to know more about the real-life evil in our midst, in hopes that arming ourselves with knowledge will keep the devils at bay.
It's also not in our nature to give up on a mystery, whether it's the "who" or, knowing that already, the "why."
Tarantino wouldn't be taking up the Manson torch if he didn't feel there was more to be said, more to be examined, about the hold that the cult leader and mass murderer had over his followers, who on his orders slaughtered seven people over two nights in 1969. One of the best true crime reads ever, Helter Skelter, has already been written about the case, but there have been more books and a dozen TV specials about it since (including the Helter Skelter TV movie), as well as countless movies, shows and books inspired by the real-life events.
Still other cases are destined to remain cold, as evidence withers and witnesses—or the killers themselves—die, as whoever really was Jack the Ripper or whoever killed Elizabeth Short or whoever the real Zodiac Killler was, did long ago. But the slightest possibility that an answer is out there seems to be enough to keep viewers coming back for more.
If you shake the puzzle hard enough, maybe, just maybe, the pieces will settle into place.
The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway premieres Saturday, Aug. 19, at 7 & 9 p.m.

Embrace your inner Boba Fett with Jetman Dubai's groundbreaking new jetpack
February 18, 2020, 3:56 PM ET
By Jacob Oller
Credit: Jetman Dubai
When film fans think jetpacks, it's either old-school pulpy sci-fi (like the stuff that inspired Boba Fett's iconic piece of flight tech) or slick superhero modifications that the Falcon or Iron Man might show off. But The Winter Soldier might not have to stick with his winged friend for much longer, because the real strides in jetpack technology actually look like they're now combining the best of all these inspirations.
Meeting in that middle ground, with both wings and jets, is the team at Jetman Dubai, which broke ground last week with their latest take on a sci-fi classic.
CNN reports that the company and pilot Vince Reffett launched their new jet-powered wingsuit from the ground and, in just half a minute, zipped a thousand meters into the air. While there have been launches from elevated locations before (like a helicopter), this was the first ground-to-sky flight the company's ever done. This launch, which took place on Feb. 14, showed off all the suit's capabilities during its flight around the Skydive Dubai runway in the United Arab Emirates.
Wingless jet suits have previously set record speeds of 85 mph. Reffett's average speed was clocked in at almost 150 mph. Reffett also did a loop, roll, and performed plenty of controlled, hovering turns over the course of the three-minute flight before opening his parachute.
"We are so happy we achieved this incredible flight," Reffett said, per CNN. "It is another step in a long-term project. One of the next objectives is to land back on the ground after a flight at altitude, without needing to open a parachute. It's being worked on."
So landing, that's the main issue. Those four jet engines surely suck up fuel like crazy as well, regardless of how sleek the wingsuit's carbon-fiber composition may be. The impressive feat — just the jetpack's acceleration as it zooms into the sky looks like the next Marvel movie — is reportedly the result of 50 test flights and 100 practice takeoffs with the suit, leading to one of the most impressive steps forward for the transportation method of the future. As long as fans' commutes are under three minutes, that is.

Suffolk, England -> Suffolk Places Bl - Bu -> Bury St Edmunds
TOPIC: Bury St Edmunds
Abbeygate at Bury St Edmunds was once part of the second largest Abbey in the UK, you can imagine the splendour of this once Benedictine Monastery. The Gate House is not the original this was destroyed by the Townsfolk in 1327 and the one pictured here was built some 100+ years later in the mid - 15c. It was of course here that the details of the Magna Carta were drawn up at the High Altar, imagine this gateway in its full colourful glory, there are 20 niches for coloured idols/images to have been placed. The name of course implies that the Boy King St. Edmund was buried within the grounds after he was slain at the village of Hoxne Within the walls of the Abbey lies the most beautiful gardens imagineable as laid out by the Monks all those hundreds of years ago, sadly the area will be closed off as the Queen will be distributing the Maundy Money on Thursday at the Cathedral next door
