DVD review: Arrival
December 3, 2016 August 22, 2019 Garry ArnotLeave a comment
The sci-fi genre is synonymous with alien invasions, and battles to save the human race from an almighty threat. Tackling this theme from a different angle with Arrival is critically acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve, adapting Story of your Life, a short story written by Ted Chiang. The plot follows linguistics professor Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) who is approached by US military officer Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker) when twelve extraterrestrial spacecrafts land on Earth sparking worldwide panic. Tasked with communicating with the alien life form alongside theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), she must translate their language in order to decipher how and more importantly why they are here.

DVD review: Nocturnal Animals
November 19, 2016 March 12, 2017 Garry ArnotLeave a comment
Fashion icon Tom Ford enjoyed his first foray into filmmaking back in 2009 with A Single Man which was met with critical acclaim and awards glory. He's back for his second feature with neo-noir thriller Nocturnal Animals, based on Austin Wright's 1993 novel Tony and Susan. The plot centres around luxuriously successful LA art dealer Susan (Amy Adams) who, despite her extreme wealth, is unhappy with what and who she has become. When she receives a manuscript from her ex-husband Edward (Jake Gyllenhaal), she is led to reflect upon her life. Her ex's bloody tale of violent revenge, which gives the movie its title, plays out as a film within a film, haunting her memories and dredging up her dark past.

DVD review: Her
June 21, 2014 October 27, 2022 Garry ArnotLeave a comment
Set in the not so distant future, 'Her' blends science fiction with romantic-comedy and holds a mirror up to the possibilities of mobile technology. Screwball director Spike Jonze explores themes of love, friendship and artificial intelligence in utopian Los Angeles. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Theodore Twombly, a thirty-something divorcee who makes a living penning love letters for those with an inability to express their feelings, despite lacking confidence with women face-to-face himself. Lonely and raw from his separation from soul mate Catherine (Rooney Mara), he invests in an advanced operating system, who calls herself Samantha (Scarlett Johansson) for companionship and to compartmentalise his working and social calendar. As the OS expands its capabilities, Theodore's relationship with Samantha develops, asking questions of modern-day romance and its requirements, be it technical or otherwise.
Despite being full of ideas and imagination, I struggled to connect with the central character, and felt slightly patronised and preached upon by the heavy topics raised. The 'looks or personality' quandary comes into play in an unorthodox manner as although Samantha has no physical presence, essentially 'living in a computer' as she puts it, she does have a personality and later has the mood swings and emotions that come with the ups and downs of a relationship. Without giving too much away, there's a section where Samantha does arrange for a body to take on her persona and this presents an oddly intriguing threesome dynamic. It reminded me a lot of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror series which also predicted where technological enhancements would take us, but his effort was more effective and thought provoking due to its darker satirical approach.
I admired the ambition, and the film definitely looks the part, the idyllic location serving as a pleasant and interesting backdrop to Theodore's story. However nice the aesthetics are, the problem lies in the unnatural conversations with Samantha which were cringe worthy at times, the attempts at humour, for me, missing the mark. This could be down to the fact that Johansson was brought into the project late on. Her voiceover was added in place of the unknown original which had been recorded in sync with Phoenix's lines. In fairness, the recasting in some respects of Scarlett Johansson was a shrewd move. Because of her iconic good looks, her voice is easy to recognise and identify with, and this helps but I didn't buy into the bond at all. It all still felt very naff and manufactured.
Joaquin Phoenix is no stranger to a complex lead role, so seemed an inspired choice to take on the introvert, Twombly. Unfortunately, he is outshone by his co-stars, even his computerised girlfriend. Rooney Mara is very impressive once again, in a similar role to her Social Network turn, but this time more assured. I could've done with seeing more of her character who represents the grounding reality in a world of dreamy ideals, though she steals the moments she appears in. The stand-out performance is Amy Adams as Theodore's best friend, Amy. They relate through their desire to express themselves creatively, Theodore through his writing and Amy through documentary filmmaking. They are there for each other through their troubles, and the natural friendship plays out very fluidly.
'Her' has no shortage of invention but the outcome has mixed results. The slick cinematography works well with the subject matter, as does the soundtrack but it is let down by its feeble cracks at rom-com humour and sentiment. This creates an incoherent narrative and the film doesn't appear to know quite what it wants to be, though it has no doubt of its own intelligence. If it had focussed on being an investigative sci-fi flick, I think there's room for a more in-depth study and more challenging material for the experienced cast to tackle, thus giving itself the opportunity to fulfil its potential.
DVD review: American Hustle
May 6, 2014 May 7, 2014 Garry Arnot1 Comment
Award hungry director David O. Russell is back with a bang with well timed comedy-drama 'American Hustle', boasting an all-star cast and a stunning soundtrack. The plot is loosely based upon the ABSCAM operation that took place in the late 1970s…so loosely in fact that the opening title card reads 'Some of this actually happened', but the ins and outs of this take a backseat behind bold performances, loud characters and even louder haircuts. Christian Bale stars as cunning con-artist Irving Rosenfeld alongside his partner in crime Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams). When a wrong turn leads them into trouble, they are forced to work alongside FBI agent Richie Di Maso (Bradley Cooper), joining forces to pull off an elaborate swindle involving casinos, politicians and a fake sheikh. It mixes sharp dialogue, devilish humour and inspired production values to create a flamboyant cocktail of style, served with an ever twisting narrative. This could be the most fun you'll have watching a film all year.
The influences behind the look and feel of the film are unquestionable, and some have been critical of the heavy usage of Scorseseisms such as slow-mo, voiceover and pop culture flavourings. There is also a strong heady whiff of Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, set around the same time, and also featuring powerful feisty female parts – Adams' Prosser is a dead ringer for Julianne Moore's Amber Waves. Personally, I don't have a problem with the similarities as it helps captures the era effectively and to be honest, if you're going to borrow aspects of filmmaking skills, you can't go far wrong looking at the works of Marty and PTA. Everyone needs inspiration for a project, and Russell rejuvenates snippets of what has been done previously to produce a fresh take on the scene. Aside from the appearance, which is incredibly key to the success of this picture, Russell brings us deeply interesting characters albeit derived from real life figures of that time. They interact naturally between one another and he leaves us, the audience, not quite knowing who is going to double cross who, which provides masterful entertainment. Portraying them are the names from the top drawer of Hollywood talent, and Russell always manages to stir up big performances from his leads – this time is no different.
He has taken the stars from his recent hits and combined them to form a very impressive poster cast list. Bale and Adams both appeared in his boxing flick The Fighter whereas Cooper and woman-of-the-moment Jennifer Lawrence starred alongside each other in romantic smash Silver Linings Playbook. I can only assume Mark Wahlberg, who has also collaborated with Russell previously and took a large part in the aforementioned Boogie Nights, was thought of for the part of corrupt mayor Carmine Polito but perhaps the shooting schedule didn't suit? He already has sequels to Ted and Transformers in production. That being said, Jeremy Renner is very good alternative, adding his own flair to the flashy family man.
Christian Bale is as good as I've ever seen him as the physically failing Rosenfeld. In his trademark method approach, he has put on a bulging beer gut for the part and he is fascinating to watch as he takes time in front of the mirror to adjust his hairpiece. Equally vain but a far cry from his preening pristine Pat Bateman. His character is given a developed back-story and he is a joy to behold as he fights with his morals whilst keeping up a cool exterior and as well as bouncing off those around him brilliantly. He and Cooper share a highly watchable on screen rivalry and for a change Bradley Cooper dodges the straight role and is at times hilarious, particularly during moments with his boss Stoddard Thorsen, played by acclaimed comedian Louis C.K.
The men in the male dominant cast, including supporting actors such as Boardwalk Empire hard men Shea Whigham and Jack Huston, are all great but the female leads are equally good, if not more immense. Amy Adams in effect plays a double part expertly as her smart trickster uses British alter ego to disguise her efforts, posing as Lady Edith Greensley – her accent is convincing to the point that it would be easy to get lured into her entirely fake persona forgetting it is. Clashing with Irving Rosenfeld's love interest is his live wire missus Rosalyn, depicted by the in demand J-Law who surprisingly takes the 'and…' part of the credits behind the others yet she is scene stealing at every turn furthering her growing reputation after last years' win at the Academy Awards. She gives off a sexy screen presence like never before, presents Amy Adams with some late competition in the side boob count contest, and performs a memorable rendition of Live & Let Die in her marigolds. This fantastic scene intercuts with the results of her recklessness, a slip of the tongue leaving her hubby in grave danger with the mafia led by the notorious Meyer Lansky.
'American Hustle' is a sophisticated epic which wears its influences proudly on its chic velvet sleeves, and is arguably the director's best work to date. It finds a sweetly judged balance between the gloriously outlandish aesthetics and the complex scam at the centre of the script, representing a whacky adaptation of partly true events with an exciting final act. Bale is outstanding and a stand out amongst one of the best casts I've seen in a while with no weak link in sight, and David O. Russell continues his run of form.

"JERRY MAGUIRE"
THE STORY - When slick sports agent Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) has a crisis of conscience, he pens a heartfelt company-wide memo that promptly gets him fired. Desperate to hang on to the athletes that he represents, Jerry starts his own management firm, with only single mother Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger) joining him in his new venture. Banking on their sole client, football player Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jerry and Dorothy begin to fall in love as they struggle to make their business work.

THE TEAM - Cameron Crowe (Director/Writer)
THE RUNNING TIME - 139 Minutes
THE GOOD - A trio of good performances with memorable writing by Cameron Crowe.
THE BAD - Romantic plot remains clunky and the film does run a tad bit too long.

THE FINAL SCORE - 7/10
By Matt N.
There is no way you have not heard at least one line from "Jerry Maguire" uttered in your normal everyday life. From lines such as "You complete me" to "You had me at hello," there is a reason that audiences have always kept on coming back to Cameron Crowe's film. The easy answer is that it is a light crowd pleaser that managed to appeal towards both males with its insight into the world of sports management (In this case, within the sport of football) and women with its romantic story of a down on his luck guy and the woman who could be the answer to all of his problems. The film may not succeed in hoping to cover all of those areas (And it certainly tries to with a nearly two and a half hour running time) but it has remained popular all of these years regardless of its flaws.
Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is on top of the world. He is a sports agent for SMI (Sports Management International) with over 70 clients who he works for around the clock every day. His world is one of smiling, smooth-talking, hand shaking and lots of motivational speeches. After realizing that his true purpose for becoming a sports agent (Personal relationships with his clients) is in danger of becoming lost, he writes a mission statement that calls for change within SMI. "Fewer clients, less money" is the statement that sticks out the most. After distributing it to everyone at work, his life slowly begins to fall apart. He is fired from his job, loses his fiance, loses most of his money and loses most of his clients. However, one client, a wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals named Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.) decides to stick with him. They are joined by Dorothy (Renee Zellweger), a single mom who works in accounting at SMI. She decides to drop everything and follow Jerry Maguire out of SMI with their one client because she believes in his mission statement, and may possibly even have a crush on him.
"Jerry Maguire" is a film all about belief. However, not belief in the religious sense. It's about belief in one's self, one's ability, and belief in the power of love. Jerry Maguire needs to believe that he can bounce back from this tremendous roadblock that has been put in front of him in his life. Rod Tidwell needs to believe in his love for the game of football in order to inspire his team to renegotiate his contract towards a better deal (He has quite a few personality issues). And Dorothy needs to believe that Jerry Maguire can overcome his own insecurities, and his own troubles so that he can be there to provide a good life for her and her son. It's this stance on 'belief' that "Jerry Maguire" finds its charm and continues to entertain viewers till this day. It's an uplifting message that makes the audience feel good knowing that if they too can believe in something as strongly as these characters do and how they all help each other to get there, that we too can achieve happiness.
The film would simply not work without the performances of its cast. Sure, the writing is inspiring, smooth and a good deal of fun. But it's the committed performances from the three leads that help to sell it. Tom Cruise does his best Tom Cruise here. He's perfect for this role as he's somewhat playing a version of himself dialed up to 11. He conveys the highs and the lows of this character with an unmatched charisma that is easy to grab onto. Renee Zellweger plays Dorothy with a vulnerability and charm that instantly makes her likable. She's not perfect in any way, but she takes hold of the situation she has been dealt and at times emerges as a stronger character than Jerry Maguire. Cuba Gooding Jr. won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance of the hot-shot football star with an attitude problem. His performance is ironically the weakest of the three but you can't help but be won over by his exuberance in his scenes with Tom Cruise.
The romantic subplot may not be as captivating as the glimpse into the world of sports management but it's Cameron Crowe's genuine script that has helped "Jerry Maguire" to live on all these years later. How can you not be won over by its memorable dialogue such as, "You had me at hello" and its trio of terrific performances? While the film may feel a little rushed towards the end, it manages to stick the landing and ends on a high note, all the while providing Tom Cruise with one of the best roles of his career. Some actors may have coin, but Cruise certainly has the "quan."

The George Jazz Group is committed to playing the music of the 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond; music more commonly know as – "Jazz Standards." This is the music that is truly an American art form which conjures up composers with titles such as Duke and Count; musicians such as Dizzie, Ella, Buddy and Sinatra. Songs with poetic lyrics found in titles such as Autumn Leaves, Our Love Is Here To Stay, I Bought You Violets For Your Furs and I've Got You Under My Skin.
This is the musical culture that helped form the American landscape from New York to LA, with points between such as Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans. This is the music of our parents and grand parents as well as members of America's youth before the word "Teenager" was coined.

Justice is a love card. Justice selected you today because you need to know that you can advance dreams when you balance your needs with another's. Both people need to feel loved, because feeling loved is what it is all about. Today, promise to be there for each other and deliver on that promise. If single, do you need to return a favor with a favor? Does someone owe you an apology, or you owe one?
No, this is not the Wheel of Misfortune, but it reminds you that even good happens in a difficult situation. Loss is not a bad thing. It can be an opportunity to find out, for example, why you chose the person you did. In addition, it brings home messages about whether we do too much mistaking of dysfunctional relationships for love. Thank the Wheel for today's advice.

One can consider the acoustic soundscape as consisting of two parts the direct acoustic soundscape and the diffuse acoustic soundscape. This fact has important consequences when attempting to change the acoustic soundscapes. The traditional approach to control traffic noise by means of noise barriers or change of traffic distribution is only valid for the areas directly exposed from sources (direct acoustic soundscape). These areas will experience a certain decrease of sound pressure levels when applying these noise control measures. However there will be a lower limit for reduction due to the presence of a diffuse acoustic soundscape. To control/modify such a diffuse acoustic soundscape has been shown very difficult by traditional means of noise control. Main characteristic of diffuse acoustic soundscapes is the presence of a multitude of sources, distributed over a wide area contributing evenly to the acoustic soundscape in a certain areas. Screening will only lead to a redistribution of sound, however consequences of such a redistribution will not be recognised in a diffuse sound field. Absorption has been identified as a main parameter to control diffuse acoustic soundscapes. Reducing sound pressure levels in shielded areas such as inner-yards can only be achieved by adding acoustically absorbing areas along the transfer path between source and receiver, but especially inside the inner-yard. Redistribution of traffic flow has been shown to have a tremendous effect on the directly exposed side, but only a small effect in shielded areas.

With about an hour to go before I leave for vacation, I can't resist making one last parry in my ongoing debate with Matt Yglesias about standardized tests and teacher merit pay.
First, though Matt is a dear friend, I bristle at his suggestion that my positions uncritically echo a pro-union line. Those who read my work regularly will know that I believe there is little evidence for the claim that teachers' unions are the primary barrier preventing the United States from closing the achievement gap or beating Finland and Canada's butts on international assessments. There are simply too many other deep-seated differeces between those societies' educational systems and our own; what they all share in common is that the teachers within them are unionized. What's more, American states without teacher collective barganing perform worse educationally than those with strong unions. That doesn't mean the unions are responsible for strong academic performance, just that it is doubtful that they are signficantly hindering it.
That said, I carry no water at all for those progressives (and there are not that many of them, by the way) who say there's no use in focusing on school reform until we beat poverty and fix health care, child care, and the like. If I thought that were true, I wouldn't spend so much time reporting on and writing about interesting, innovative educational programs like the Children's Literacy Initiative in Newark or Tech Valley High School in Albany. I believe there are schools, classrooms, and teachers changing children's lives each day, and even fighting inequality.
So I do support efforts to identify and reward successful teachers while simultaenously identifying, remediating, and eventually firing those who are unsuccessful. The question at hand is simply whether standardized test scores are the best means for doing so. I don't think they are, because of Campbell's Law. The education team at the Center for American Progress, where Matt works, has investigated a number of possible ways to evaluate teachers, even publishing a paper by Linda Darling-Hammond that describes a more holistic, comprehensive system, one that relies on evaluators observing and interviewing teachers and looking at examples of their students' work–both tests and other sorts of assignments.
Though such systems are labor-intensive, I'm more hopeful about them than I am about test-score based evaluation and pay. For one thing, from Nashville to New York City , such merit pay schemes have often disappointed researchers, for they seem to have little effect on student achievement.
And we know from the work of sociologists like Dan Lortie and social psychologists like Edward Deci that the kind of people who choose teaching as a career are unlikely to be people whose performance is swayed heavily by relatively small financial incentives.
I have to run or I'll miss my train to Connecticut! But there you have it.
This entry was posted in Business & Economics on July 1, 2011 by Dana Goldstein.
Also, Finland is all unionized.
I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for posting this provocative essay.
I always cringe when I see the progressive stance characterized as "there's no use in focusing on school reform until we beat poverty and fix health care, child care, and the like." (By saying there are few, you may agree, but I am not sure). I think it is true that purely top-down solutions ignore those issues at their peril (and will simply not be effective w/o taking those into account). But the reforms that progressives seek are largley NOT top-down reforms. Current top-down approaches are preventing the sort of classroom/community-based (and research-backed) reforms that progressives would LOVE to see the focus turn to. Lets get cracking on real reform, but the obstacles (NCLB) need to be cleared for us to do so.
Thanks for the great write-up of the basic drawbacks of test-based reform, Dana. I've struggled to find a succinct summary.
Namely, is this a dynamic more common with charter schools than others? Do charter CEOs tend to have less oversight & accountability? If so, does that represent a quantitatively greater danger to true progress in education than the alleged lack of accountability of teachers that is dominating the discussion right now?

MONTGOMERY — Mark Ingram enters the NFL draft armed with a Heisman Trophy, a national title and the cover of a popular video game.
The former Alabama running back and 2009 Heisman winner says he'll also bring two healthy knees.
Ingram said Tuesday reports that NFL teams are concerned about his surgically repaired left knee are based on "false information" with the draft looming April 28-30.
Ingram had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Aug. 31, but missed only the first two games. He is generally projected as a late first-round pick, though that's a drop from his initial mid-first round status.
Ingram said he has worked out for the Miami Dolphins, who pick 15th. He has also visited the St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins and New Orleans Saints — with picks ranging from 10th to 24th.
He ran for 875 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. As a sophomore, he had 1,658 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns to lead the Crimson Tide to the national title.
Talk about his knee hasn't been the only thing Ingram has had to contend with leading up to the draft.
He also fired agent Rocky Arceneaux and hired Joel Segal.
Neither of those things marred his day Tuesday.
He was chosen for the EA Sports game cover over Washington quarterback Jake Locker, Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley and Oklahoma running back DeMarco Murray in fan voting.
A skilled bowler and golfer, Ingram said he's pretty good at NCAA Football too. "I'm taking all challengers," he joked.
Ingram will have his picture in numerous game-playing households once that edition is released July 12, but he's getting some exposure before then, too. He spent much of Tuesday appearing on SportsCenter and other ESPN shows.
As for draft day, Ingram said he has no feel whatsoever for where he'll wind up.
Ingram said he'll have to wait until next week's draft to see how teams — or at least one team — feel about him, just like everybody else.

For Rent in The Hamptons
What $700K rents you in Southampton's estate section for the summer
Curbed Comparisons explores these Southampton rentals

Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can buy or rent for a certain price in the Hamptons.
In the past, we've shown you what you can buy for a certain price in Southampton's estate section—but now, we're going to show you a rental comparison.
With rental season in full swing, we're going to be looking at a lot of rental price comparisons over the next few months. Today, we're exploring what a $700,000 budget will get you from Memorial Day to Labor Day in south-of-the-highway Southampton.
56 Barnhart Street: $675K

In 9,000 square feet, there are eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in this Southampton estate, sited on more than two acres of land. Located off Captains Neck Lane, this home sits south of the highway and features seven fireplaces (including one in the master bathroom), walnut floors throughout, and a finished lower level with a recreation room and laundry. Outside, one will find a sunken tennis court, a heated gunite infinity pool, a large stone terrace, and a two-car garage.
If you only want to rent the space out for part of the season, it'll cost you $325,000 for just July, $350,000 for just August to Labor Day, and $625,000 from July to Labor Day.
269 Great Plains Road: $675K

Though this home is asking the same $675,000 for the summer season, it has substantially more square footage and it's a bit closer to the ocean. The largest house we're featuring, this estate stands 16,000 square feet in size with eight bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms. Outside, there's a sunken tennis court and a pool—and the property is just a mile from the ocean at Cooper's Beach.
For the whole season, the rental is available for $675,000, but if you just need it for July, it'll cost $300,000. A July to Labor Day rental period is asking $600,000.
420 Ox Pasture Road: $650K

Our least expensive home is $650,000 for a seasonal rental, and it's also the smallest at 6,700 square feet. Inside the estate, there are seven bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms among two stories, sited on over three acres of land. The home—built in 1897—has been restored with interiors done by Steven Gambrel. Inside, there's an 800-square-foot drawing room and master suite with a private terrace, while outside the gated property features a formal garden, pool, and modern pool house.
For just a July rental, this home will cost $250,000, and $500,000 for July to Labor Day. If someone wants to just do the month of August to Labor Day, the home is available for $350,000.

You walk up a winding road in the Haunted Woods, sad and tired from your travels. It would seem that the trees that you pass are slowly whispering laughs and howls. They have red eyes, and watch you're every move. One deformed hut ahead of you has an alluring magic around it, and you want to continue forward.
"That's perfect, Synthi dear! Were soon to beat Kauvara and make millions selling our Super potions! Keep it up!" You hear a cackling wizard call. You dart up to the window of the hut and peek in... curious to see what was up. A foul scent wafts out, obviously from the large cauldron in the middle. A cheeky looking spyder is there, drinking from a bottle, mainly a tester of the brew. "Ehehehehheheeheh!!!" The spyder coughs. Suddenly, he grew two cybunny ears, asparagus teeth, and sparkly diamond eyes. "Perfect! I call it, the Glitterasparaguscybunny of utter doom! Muahaha!"
After that concoction, the phone rings on a brown table, hiding in the corner of the room, behind that giant cauldron. "Keep it down over there, you dazed elephante! Some of us here are trying to trick naive young neopians using anagrams! Shhhh! *Hangs up*" Your eyes get larger, staring at the wizard. The elephantes eyes grow to disproportioned sizes and start to pop. He turns a red color and bangs his feet against the ground viciously. He's MAD! "Eliv Thade. . . . . CURSE YOU! You keep meddling in my operations!" Suddenly, its silent. The cackling Wizard eyes grow to disproportioned sizes AGAIN. He whispers," Shhhh! Do you smell that Synthi, dear?" As he stealth-like shifts around the room, as you get nervous and scared as he heads in your direction. The spyder spits web by the window you were by and climbs it to your direction.
"FOOL!" The disturbed elephante seethes. He picks you up and shakes you by the hood of your sweatshirt you were wearing. "Ummm... Sir no! I was just.... but.... and.... " you screech. He slowly drops you to the ground of his hut. Its musky and damp, and the whole air smells of wizards brew. He turns his back to you, mumbling something strange. Obviously planning something. The cheeky and creepy spyder spits web in your direction and climbs to your lap. Making a small, "eheheheh... " noise, he attempts to crawl onto your face, but cant make it.
Your big brown eyes scan the room after throwing the bug, looking for any way out of this place. You spot a window, and run to look out to it while the elephante still cackles and mumbles, writing down something. Sure enough, there loomed the eerie castle of the great Eliv Thade, and next to that was the looming and frightening Witch's tower. Simolth, Eliv, and Edna were Haunted Woods neighbors! Obviously, this wizard didn't like the publicity he could have been getting.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. The menace sighs like your old uncle Rudy the shoyru and trudges over. ".... *Mumble*... *mumble*... soliciting.... Kauvara... *growls*" is all you hear. "Cant you get it!? I don't want any Bori Scout Cookies!... Oh! You aren't those youngins are you... " He shouts as he opens the creaky door.
"Sir, were here to confirm your entry to pet spotlight. Name: Sir Simolth... *blah blah*" The miniature ixi sighs. Simolth turns reddish, and screams at the ixi. "For the last time, I do not call it a PET spotlight, but yet a EVIL DOER OF THE WORLD SOON TO BE THE BEST WIZARD EVER AND WIN AGAINST KAUVARA IN POTION MAKING spotlight! MUAHAH!" You laugh, then glance around the room, seeing pictures of himself in glamour poses everywhere. Looks like he was a softie, just looking for recognition. "Ill let you go if you spread the word! Give me credit for what I have done! Now go! Skit Skit!" He pushes you out of his hut. You walk away laughing, and hear yet another explosion. "Fantastickupo! A Donnablondiesuperpoptart sub species of neopet! Yes!"
Maybe... Maybe... Maybe its best if you just go off to Eliv's castle and solve some anagrams before Simolth starts to make even more of a scene!


As interest rates continue to rise people will start to look for alternative mortgage programs. Interest-Only loans have come to the forefront of almost every lenders marketing campaign so many consumers now face the challenge of considering whether or not an interest-only loan is right for them. With lower payments than traditional fixed rate loans it's easy to understand how one can find these very attractive programs from the surface. However many people have the wrong idea about these loans. Below are answers to some of the most common "myths" of interest only loans.
You never have to pay principal on an interest only loan?
All interest only home loan programs have an "Interest Only Payment Feature". This payment feature is only for a limited period of your loan term and not for the entire term. Sooner or later your "Interest-Only" loan will turn into a fully amortized loan with Principal & Interest payments.
Interest only loans are for anyone who needs a lower monthly payment?
Wrong. Dead Wrong. Interest only loans are for a select group of consumers who usually have short term ownership needs, a high amount of savings and a much greater risk level.
Interest only loans have interest rates equal to the LIBOR Index.
Wrong. Most interest-only loans have interest rates that are based on the LIBOR index PLUS a predetermined margin (margin varies by lender). Your fully adjusted rate will never be simply equal to the LIBOR index.


Bourbonnais, IL – The Village of Bourbonnais launched four new videos in their online series: Economic Development, Real Estate, Education and Quality of Life.

Bowling, Superintendent of Bradley- Bourbonnais Community High School, Dr. Scott E. Wakeley, Executive Director of Bourbonnais Township Park District, Hollice Clark and more.
The unique video project welcomed the opportunity for local business owners to also feature their businesses alongside the village videos and present offerings available within the Village of Bourbonnais.


Phone Booths stories at Techdirt.
stories filed under: "phone booths"
It's been nearly a decade or so since the rise of mobile phones began to impact the payphone industry -- and we've seen all sorts of creative attempts to save payphone booths in one form or another -- from turning them into music download stations or WiFi hotspots. Then, there's the idea of simply changing phone booths into places for mobile phone callers to go, so they're not quite so annoying, talking on the phone where everyone can hear them. Over in the UK, things are even worse, as the distinctive red iconic telephone booths has a much stronger cultural connection that has many upset at the demise of the phone booth.
So, what BT has come up with a different sort of strategy for rescuing the red phone booths: getting local gov'ts to pay out of sympathy. Yes, BT is telling local councils that they can "adopt" a red phone booth and keep it alive for just £500 per year (about $1,000). I'm almost surprised they didn't open up the offering to individuals as well. I'm sure there are some folks who would pay to keep the phone booths alive.


I have been in the insurance industry for over 54 years attaining numerous company and professional awards. As a CLU, LUTCF and Million Dollar Round Table member, I follow the principles of professionalism and integrity.
"Service Above Self" is the professional approach that I extend to my clients. I believe that my policy holders should receive the latest financial and economic information to keep abreast of today's market. By consistent communication and personal interaction. I can provide the products and services that help assure my clients' financial security.


Certainly, for the experienced staffs, the ' writing' could be done quick and easy. However, for rookies and newcomers, it would be a time-consuming duty.
However, considering well, the opportunity to write a sentence in business is surprisingly often. Description Templates related to company own is not an exaggeration to say that "Business foundation".
Being an adult doesn't mean capable of writing 'precise sentences like a journalist'. There might be cases that ambiguous or incorrect expressions slip into the sentences.
The important thing, is to concentrate on 'the facts to tell'.
For instance, if the sentence was for an apology, the part of explanation will be required to be accurate. In addition, rapidness will be required, as well. Suppose if the templates have been maintenance as the business foundation, the writer will be able to concentrate on the main body. (Speaking from the viewpoint of productivity), "shift from writing to borrowing" is not a matter to feel negative.

American classical plants who Is the first American to win the gold medal at The Tenth Ventricular International Plano Competition In Fort Worth, Texas. That was the reason why I went to California Theater in San Jose on October 20, 2013 for his piano concert. This theatre is located on 345 South First Street, San Jose. It didn't look big from the outside but when I walked in, I was surprised. It is a classy, clean and fancy looking and there are different levels of seating.
Furthermore, the seats are very comfortable and the crowd is very repressions. I Just felt like I was walking in cathedral in Europe. In my opinion, this is one of the best theatres in San Jose. Jon Namesake's program included: 2 Impromptus (Franz Schubert), Sonata no. 3 in B Minor (FRRdrich Chopin) and Carnival, opus 9(Robert Schumann). He began his performance with 2 Impromptus. He seemed to understand every single notes and this was a magic with such sweet melodies. He had a unique Interpretation. Special attention was paid to the alternating notes on the left hand while maintaining melodic lines on the right.
HIS playing spoke of so such with Just notes and no words and It really touched my heart deeply. After I listened to this songs, I think this is a truly song written in the moment between desperation and acceptance. Jon seemed to tell me what Schubert said: "Whenever I write of love, it turns to pain, and whenever I write of pain, it turns to love. " Impromptus are closest to the heart and soul of Schubert of all pieces of his music. The second song that Jon Mainmasts performed was Sonata no. 3 in B Minor. It was one of the best performances of this beautiful sonata and Jon is an incredible pianist.
The third movement was superb and I could hear Son's spirit in the music. I believe he was largely self-taught, which is astonishing. In his music, he never substituted pianist bravado for beauty, and that Is why never a note was wasted. Everything you could want In his performance Is sensitively, Imagination, passion and delicacy. The last song he performed was Carnival, opus 9. This piece was so long but It was a wonderful characterization, transparent textures and dynamics. He showed me the pure connection between the human soul and the sounds. The Carnival made me like Schumann music even more.
Jon Mainmasts had breathed new life into his After finish enjoying Jon Namesake's piano concert, I was deeply masterpiece. Inspired and moved to tears. Thanks to him, I've been introduced these beautiful pieces which I hadn't known for long time. Jon gave me the big inspiration and motivation so that I can persuade my dream to become such a great pianist like him.

Salaita Calls Off Planned Speech at University of Illinois-Chicago
by Christine Des Garennes
The News-Gazette
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/21805/salaita-calls-off-planned-speech-at-university
Professor Steven Salaita has canceled his talk today at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The American Indian studies scholar was to deliver a speech at the UIC student center, but he informed the organizers he had to postpone it, per advice from his lawyers.
Salaita's other public appearances are still on. He visited Northwestern University on Monday and will speak tonight at the University of Chicago. Other events are scheduled at Loyola University, Columbia College and DePaul University.
Andy Thayer, co-founder of the Gay Liberation Network in Chicago, which has been organizing the events, posted the news and Salaita's announcement on Facebook.
"I deeply regret that, on advice of counsel, it may be most prudent to postpone my on-campus talk," Salaita wrote. "This is to say nothing about how much I would like to convene with you and how much I am buoyed by your friendship and solidarity. I hope this period will soon pass and that I can give a talk (there) in the not-too-distant future."
Salaita and his lawyers have indicated that they will take legal action against the University of Illinois soon.
A university search committee offered Salaita a tenure-track faculty job back in October 2013. He accepted and planned to teach this fall. After his tweets critical of Israel's invasion of Gaza received scrutiny, Chancellor Phyllis Wise notified him in August that she would not forward his appointment to the board for approval. Trustees rejected the appointment last month.
After taking a break from tweeting and speaking publicly, Salaita in recent weeks has been returning to social media, thanking supporters online and launching a speaking tour. Organizers have asked groups and departments to pay Salaita an honorarium and will also be asking for donations at the events.


Not too long after the rain stopped the yelling started. Not yelling out of danger, but the kind of yelling you hear when people are having an unexpected good time. With Hurricane Sandy's winds briefly at a lull a game of touch football broke out in the streets of Astoria.
A handful of neighbors played, while a few more watched, either from the sidelines or from their porches. A couple others called out from their windows as the two teams marched up and down the street.
Off in the distance a siren blared, the ground was oddly dry after the day's rain had been blown away and an ambulance or two dove by. Despite these reminders of Sandy the two teams played on, providing the block with a welcome distraction from the storm.


Many of us underestimate the benefits and importance of sleep. Having a full and uninterrupted night's sleep plays a major role in your overall health, moods, functionality, and well-being. The position in which you sleep is just as important to monitor, as it can be a main factor in a good or bad sleep. Below we will compare some of the best and worst sleeping positions for your health.
Sleeping flat on your back is one of the best positions for you to get a good night's sleep in. If your head is facing straight up, and the weight of your body is evenly distributed along your spine, this becomes one of the most orthopedically sound positions to be in. The pull of gravity on your face and chest helps prevent wrinkles, and is beneficial for those suffering from acid reflux. But beware if you do suffer from heavy snoring and sleep apnea, as the tissues at the back of your throat fall loosely and heavily against you, causing more restricted airways.
The next best position for sleep is on your left side. Your heart can easily pump blood throughout your body when sleeping on your left side, as there is less pressure on that area. For good alignment, putting a pillow in between your knees is a great practice, and it helps even out any extra pressure on hips and joints.
As opposed to the left side, sleeping on your right isn't an ideal sleep position. As the entire cardiovascular system is on the right side of your body, sleeping on that side puts pressure on the area, constricting your rib cage and straining your lungs. Overall, you're not in danger by sleeping on your right side, but if you are pregnant, suffer from sleep disorders, have acid reflux or heartburn, or have heart problems, you're better off sticking to the left.
Even less ideal is the classic and comfortable position of sleeping with one leg closer to your chest, and the other straight out. One leg up can put pressure on the pelvic region and cause or aggravate low back pain. The uneven distribution of pressure causes strain on your muscles, causing more harm than good. While this position is a favourite for many of us, it tends to fall closer to the worst side of the best and worst sleeping positions.
Many of us do know this, and many of us also think this is a super comfortable sleeping position. However, stomach sleepers take note – this is the worst sleeping position for your health. While the position feels great after a long day, this is one of the best ways to wake up with pain and discomfort. The pull of gravity forces the stomach down, putting immense strain on your spine. Additionally, your neck becomes strained with the 90 degree angle your head remains in. If stomach sleeping is the only way for you, try sleeping with a pillow or two under your pelvic region to evenly distribute pressure, and reduce the downward curvature of your spine.
Determining the best position for yourself and for your health will help you get that much closer to a better night's sleep. Contact us for more information on sleep disorders or to book a consultation.

Is it me?
I am in something of a quandary and maybe you can help. The government seems to be at odds with what I would call 'sensible options' and spending our money in a profligate way that beggars belief.
Take for instance the hundreds of millions of pounds of our taxes being spent on special precision guided bombs. Essentially the money is being spent upon rearranging the rubble, left over from previous bombing campaigns. I'm in a quandary because, on the 23rd of October, our UK newspapers reported that Russian and US planes had completely destroyed the Omar oil field in Syria which is under the control of Daesh.
Quote: 'The terrorists' oil field in eastern Syria was obliterated in a day of bombing conducted by both Russia and the US-led coalition. US operations officer Major Michael Filanowski told reporters in Baghdad the Omar oil field was blitzed, heavily damaging the lucrative funding source for ISIS."
However the very same Newspaper is now reporting, that the very same "destroyed" oil field has been destroyed all over again by UK air strikes. You know and I know that there is no possibility of any oilfield being repaired to the point where it could be back in production in a war zone. the manpower, tools and spare parts would not be there.
Quote: 'Four Tornados took off from RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus after MPs voted in favour of launching airstrikes in the war-torn country. The jets struck targets in the Omar oil field in Eastern Syria, dealing a "real blow" to Daesh."
Yet at the very same time, the government has cut the spending on flood defences in our own country. A very serious and profound cut in a different kind of defence spending. A cut which is making many of our citizens feel vulnerable to the increase threat of flooding as a result of climate change.
Throughout the last few years of boat ownership. I have been taking a number of photographs around the canals and rivers system. Obviously the subject would vary depending on where we were and what we were doing. The photographic images are taken using a Canon 550d DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) which is my camera of choice. I use Coral Paintshop Pro X8 photo editing software for adding the logo and creating a smaller thumbnail image.
There is no particular theme, other than most of my photography is waterways inspired. It's whatever that caught my attention at the time. So I thought I might include a few of my photographs into the blog.
The berds are often refered to as waders they are often found on the sea shore and patrolling the edges of inland lakes. Their name comes from their habit and method of searching for food.
Do you recognise these birds?
Answer: Turnstone. They are closely related to Sandpipers.
I take photographs for my own personal pleasure. Whilst I reserve copyright ownership of the photographic image. You are free to use the image for your own purposes as long as the logo is not removed and you give credit to where the photograph came from. The image provided on the blog is a thumbnail of the original photographic image.
In Orléans, the Grande Loire to the north, is no longer navigable. However, the Petite Loire to the south remains navigable to this point. The Loire was formerly an important navigation and trading route. With the general increase in size of ocean-going ships, large vessels can now navigate the estuary to Nantes.
Boats on the river were traditionally flat-bottomed boats, with large but foldable masts so the sails could gather wind from above the river banks, but the masts could be lowered in order to allow the boats to pass under bridges. These vessels are known as gabarre or futreau.
Its only petite - but its home!
Every two years, the Festival de Loire recalls the role played by the river in the commune's history. On the river's north bank, near the town centre, is the Canal d'Orléans, which is connected to the Canal du Loing and the Canal de Briare at Montargis. The canal is no longer used along its whole length. Its route within Orléans runs parallel to the river, separated from it by a wall or muret, with a promenade along the top. Its last pound was transformed into an outdoor swimming pool in the 1960s, then subsequently filled in. It was restored to a canal pound in 2007, there are plans to revive use of the canal for recreation and install a pleasure-boat marina on the Canal d'Orléans.
The Millau Viaduct.
The roads in France are generally in a much better state than in the UK. The motorways are always busy round major cities or filled with light traffic depending on whether there is a toll to pay or not. As far as possible, we try to avoid using the motorways as it gives us a chance to see a bit more of the country. Motor homing in the mountains, can be both exciting and very picturesque.
The town of Millau and the river Tarn in the Pyrenees.
You can see the road snaking down the mountain side, before entering into the town of Millau. Which nestles in the middle of the Pyrenees. In the far distance partly covered by trees, is the old stone built Millau Bridge. There is one wonder of the French roads that we wanted to 'do' and that's to cross over the New Millau Viaduct. However, we were forced by high winds and being in a high sided vehicle to avoid crossing the new viaduct this time.
The New Millau Bridge.
The Millau Viaduct carries the A75 motorway across the Tarn valley. Designed by Norman Foster the magnificent viaduct has established itself as one of the must see and must experience road trips in France. The viaduct is the world's highest multi-span bridge (The road deck is 900 ft above the valley floor at its deepest) and the longest suspended bridge in the world and well worth a visit. At the northern end of the viaduct, there is a large motorway 'aires' area, offering spectacular views of the viaduct, as well as a visitor centre with information on the bridge and its building.
To give an impression of scale. The six central spans are each 342 metres (1,122 feet) in length. This is almost twice as high as the second-highest road bridge in Europe, the Europabrücke on Austria's Brenner pass motorway. The roadway over the Millau bridge is 2.46 kilometres (1.52 miles) long, and weighs about 36,000 tonnes. It is the longest cable supported bridge deck in the world.
Many of the locks on the French canals are automated, though there are quite a few manual ones. Some of the older locks are still awaiting retoration provide an intresting comparison with some of our british counterparts.
Looking almost like a clockwork mechanism.
The above mechanisim was used to open a central gate paddle. The long lever arm (which resembles a points lever in a signal box) is used to open a gate paddle. The mechanisim has not been maintained for many years and yet was still light in operation. You can reverse the process and lower the paddle to adjust the flow . In an emergency the bar with a loop (above the wheel) can be lifted to release the mechanism and allow the paddle to fall.
Rivited Steel Construction.
The construction of the gate is essentially a box created from U channel and constructed of steel sections (rivited together) Faced with heavy guage planking which can easily be changed. The gate construction plate is dated 1932 and was last used in 1954. Note no ballence beam - as the gates are mechanically wound open and shut, though the mechanisim could not be seen as it is hidden behind the gate.
History: The Canal d'Orléans connects the Loire River at Orléans with the Canal du Loing and the Canal de Briare. The canal was begun in 1676. This was completed in 1692 with a length of 74 km and with 27 locks. In 1921, it was extended 5 km from Combleux to Orléans. The canal service was terminated in 1954. The canal would accomodate boats up to 100 feet (30 Mtr)in length and 16 feet (5 Mtr) beam.
Though the canal is disused today, it is still kept in a good state of repair with its tow path being used as a cycle trail. There is a limited amount of restoration taking place. Along the towpath, you will see some of the original locks and gates. Lock 1 in Orléans has been restored. As have locks 4 (Pont-aux-Moines) and 5 (Donnery). Locks No. 24 through 28 have also been restored and are in currently in use.
Butterfly Trip
Well our something of a 'butterfly trip' to various canal locations around France has been somewhat inspiring. It has been possible to draw some easy comparisons with the UK inland waterways. We stopped for the night at a canal side 'Aire'. Now, here is a complete turn up for the books. France is full of these 'aires' there are over 3,000 of them. Which are in the main intended as overnight parking spots, for what the French call 'Camping Cars' and we call Motorhomes.
It was here that I came across the French equivalent to a lengthsman and he was patrolling a disused for boating section of canal. Yes, that's right a he was patrolling a disused section of canal! My broken schoolboy French however, was no match for his excellent command of English. I remarked that I found it surprising that the 'towpath' was in such good order and that the trees seemed to be well kept. Some were even pollarded to provide shade in picnic areas. He pointed out that the towpath was used by many local people for fishing, including special ramps for fishermen in wheelchairs, walkers, joggers and cyclists. Though the canal is disused for boating it is being used for other leisure activities such as kayaking. As for the trees along the French road and canal system was something the French valued. He said that rather than being 'disused canals' many are actually used for drainage or moving water into agricultural areas. This particular canal was earmarked for the restoration of access by boats and seven locks had recently been restored. There were he said about 20 more locks to go.
A disused canal in France.
In the above picture you can see the pollarded trees in front of the white building. The 'aire' was a little further to the right. This has room for about ten mobile homes and provides elsan and fresh water provision free of charge. The french encourage visitors to use the local shops by way of payment.
The next day we were at the 'Canal Port' in Montauban and the weather was cool in the day and cold at night. It was partly overcast with little in the way of sunshine with the occasional spot of rain in the air. What we might describe as a typical English summer day. However, the boaters were all tucked up on moorings. This is their winter season and there is not a great deal of boating activity. The marina facilities were shared between the aires users and the marina boaters, for a total fee of five euro or about four pounds thirty a day. This also included provision of mains electricity and access to fresh water, elsan, showers, toilets and rubbish disposal. The typical cost of such a campsite in the UK is about £15/20 a night. Now, just imagine what could happen if such facilities were provided by CaRT and available to tourists from abroad.
Disused lock awaiting restoration on the Orleans Canal.
England is not alone in having some canal sections waiting restoration This is the current limit of navigation on the Canal d'Orléans. The canal is connected to the river Loire. The Loire is the longest river in France. Connecting to the sea near St Nazaire. With a length of 1,012 kilometres, it drains more than a fifth of France's land area and is the 171st longest river in the world. You can just see our motorhome in the background to the left of the lock chamber weir.

Its Good to be Back.
As some of you will have realised, if only from the lack of activity that we have been away. We have been touring round Europe - well France and Spain for the winter. Yesterday we crossed back to 'blighty' by the Calais - Dover sea route. It has been a liesurly return where we have stopped over in a few palaces on the return leg of our journey.
Last year we purchased a mobile home to do some winter season touring in. So far it has proved to be a fairly successful venture. While at the same time it has been a steep learning curve. Where we had anticipated many parallels with cruising the canals of the UK. The reality has proved to be quite a different one.
Its good to be back - though the Iberian sunshine has been missed already. Over the next few weeks I will be regaling a few tales of our latest off water adventures.
There is little in the way of canal infrastructure in Spain. Just a few short canals from the sea to inland port infrastructure. - France however is well covered by canals. So part of our trip was set asside to go and take a look at some of the French canals - but the view has been taken from the canal side rather than the deck of a boat.
So today has been spent getting a fire lit on board Rosie to air everything, before we start dewinterising the boat ready for the next cruising season. While we have been away, we have not totally ignored the boat as we had the failing tiller bearing replaced.

Interesting. I've loaded my website with content. Now you're suggesting I take some of that information public.
Here's a validation of Paul's perspective on content. I was recently a sub-contract supplier on a B2B RFP for a project in Hawaii. During a conference call with the client team they asked if my approach would align with the unique cultural aspects of their community. Mostly, they wanted to know if I wasn't a typical North American 'mainlander'. During the call the team went on-line and started playing several of my YouTube videos. They got immediate validation of my claim to bring an international perspective. Content marketing works.
Alan's example makes an interesting point. I usually promote content marketing as a "farming strategy" that pays off over the long term by helping keep you top-of-mind with prospects so you're there when they have a need for your offering.
But Alan correctly notes that having solid content is equally valuable when you're on the hunt for a new client. In general, it's evidence that you're thoughtful and innovative — and, as in this case, can be used to drive home a specific point of differentiation.

After the explosive end of former band Oasis, the chief songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher has returned with his new band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. With a couple of albums under his belt and a third due later in 2017, he's established himself as a continued force to be reckoned with, continuing where he left off with a slightly less aggressive sound than Oasis.
While his estranged brother Liam continues to try to pick fights, Noel has settled into a more relaxed public persona, a little further from the spotlight than he could manage in Oasis.
Having maintained a huge following after the demise of the band with whom he shot to fame, he's now enjoying a stable and successful career as a solo artist (with an ever changing backing band).
His tours are popular as ever, and while not selling out quite as fast as he might be used to in days gone by, few acts in the music business have the ability to consistently tour the UK, Europe and the world in venues of the same size as Gallagher.
2018 will see Noel and his band returning to the biggest stages once more across the UK, and you can catch them at the following venues if you're lucky enough to get tickets.
