Grey Day
Madness Lyrics
When I get home it's late at night,
I'm black and bloody from my life,
I haven't time to clean my hands,
Cuts will only sting me through my dreams.
It's well past midnight as I lie
In a semi-conscious state.
I dream of people fighting me
Without any reason I can see.
In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day.
After eating I go out,
People passing by me shout.
I can't stand this agony
Why don't they talk to me?
In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best,
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace.
The sky outside is wet and grey,

1) Madness is a British pop and ska band from Camden Town, London, England that was formed in 1976. As of 2012, the group has continued to perform with their most recognised lineup of seven members, although that has varied slightly over the years. Known for their cheeky humour and musical eclecticism, the band members called a "dysfunctional family", the group was one of most prominent artists in the late-70s 2 Tone ska movement. As their career progressed, Madness moved closer toward conventional pop music and has become one of the most successful British bands of all time.
The guys achieved most of their success in the 80s, often picking up new wave fans who enjoyed the band's eclectic sound. Madness, in fact, spent exactly 214 weeks on the U.K. singles charts from 1980-89, thereby sharing the record for most weeks spent by a group in said charts with UB40. Examples of some of their most popular songs include 1979's "One Step Beyond", 1982's "Our House", and 1984's "Keep Moving".
The core of the band formed as "The North London Invaders" in 1976. This outfit included Mike Barson (Monsieur Barso) on keyboards and vocals, Chris Foreman (Chrissy Boy) on guitar and Lee Thompson (Kix) on saxophone and vocals. They later recruited John Hasler on drums and Cathal Smyth (better known as Chas Smash) on bass guitar. Later in the year, they were joined by lead vocalist "Dikron". This six-piece lineup lasted until part way through 1977, when Graham McPherson (better known as Suggs) took over the lead vocals after seeing the band perform in a friend's garden. Smyth, who was poor on bass guitar, was replaced by Gavin Rogers, an acquaintance of Barson. McPherson was kicked out of the band for too often choosing to watch football instead of rehearsing. As well, Thompson left the band after Barson criticised his saxophone playing.
By 1978, the band had allowed McPherson to return, after filling in temporarily for Hasler (who had taken over vocals when McPherson was removed). Thompson returned after patching things up with Barson, and Daniel Woodgate (Woody) and Mark Bedford (Bedders) also joined the band, on drums and bass guitar respectively. After briefly changing their name to Morris and the Minors, the band renamed itself as Madness; paying homage to one of their favourite songs by ska/reggae artist Prince Buster. The band remained a sextet until late 1979, when Chas Smash rejoined and officially became the seventh member of Madness as a backing vocalist and trumpet player.
Early success
In 1979, the band recorded the Lee Thompson composition "The Prince". The song, like the band's name, paid homage to their idol, Prince Buster. The song was released through 2 Tone Records, the label of The Specials founder Jerry Dammers. The song was a surprise hit, peaking in the UK music charts at #16. A performance of "The Prince" on popular UK music show Top of the Pops helped Madness gain public recognition. Madness then toured with fellow 2 Tone bands The Specials and The Selecter, before recording their debut album, One Step Beyond..., which was released by Stiff Records. The album included a re-recording of "The Prince" and the band's second and third singles: "One Step Beyond" and "My Girl". The title song was a cover of the B-side of the 1960s Prince Buster hit "Al Capone". One Step Beyond... stayed in the British charts for over a year, peaking at #2. After the release of "My Girl", the band felt that they had exhausted the material from One Step Beyond..., and did not want to release any more singles from the album. However, Dave Robinson, head of Stiff Records, disagreed. Eventually, a compromise was made, and the band decided to release an EP featuring one album track and three new tracks. The result was the Work Rest and Play EP, which was headlined by the song "Night Boat to Cairo", from the One Step Beyond album. The EP reached #6 in the UK singles chart.
The following year, the band's second album, Absolutely reached #2 in the UK album charts. Absolutely spawned some of the band's biggest hits, most notably "Baggy Trousers"; which peaked at #3 in the UK singles chart. "Embarrassment" reached #4 in the charts, and the instrumental song "Return of the Los Palmas 7" climbed to #7.
Change of direction
In 1981, the band's third studio album, 7 reached #5 in the UK album charts and contained three hit singles. In an article in 1979, Chris Foreman explained that the band's music would move with the times, and change styles as time goes on. This was shown to be the case, as unlike the two ska-filled, fast-paced albums that preceded it, 7 was somewhat of a change in direction. Suggs' vocal performance changed significantly, and his strong Cockney accent from the previous albums had been watered down. The album strayed from the ska-influenced sound of One Step Beyond... and Absolutely, and moved towards a more conventional and mature pop sound; a trend that continued with subsequent albums. Near the end of 1981, Madness released one of their most recognised songs; a remake of Labi Siffre's 1971 hit "It Must Be Love". The song climbed to #4 in the UK and entered the US charts at #33. In 1982, Madness released their only #1 hit to date, "House of Fun"; as well as their fourth studio album The Rise & Fall. The album contained their most internationally successful single to date, "Our House", which reached #5 in the UK music charts and # 7 in the US charts. In 1983, their single "Wings of a Dove" peaked at #2 in the UK charts. Their following album, Keep Moving, peaked at #6 in the UK album charts, and several singles from that album reached the top 20 in the UK music charts.
Decline and breakup
In October 1983, the band's founder, keyboardist and prominent songwriter Mike Barson decided to leave the band, partly because he had relocated to Amsterdam, Netherlands. He officially left the band in June 1984, following the release of "One Better Day". The six remaining members left Stiff Records and formed their own label, Zarjazz Records, which was sub-label of Virgin Records. In 1985, the label released the band's sixth album, Mad Not Mad. Barson's keyboard parts were filled by synthesisers, and in later years, frontman Suggs described the production as "polished turd". The album reached #16 in the UK charts, which was the band's lowest position on the album charts to date. Despite the poor chart showing, the album was listed as #55 in NME's All Time 100 Albums. The singles for the album fared even worse, with "Yesterday's Men" peaking at #18 in the UK charts. The subsequent singles, "Uncle Sam" and "Sweetest Girl", failed to make the top 20, which was a first for Madness singles.
The band then attempted to record a new album, and 11 demo tracks were recorded. However, musical differences arose between band members, and in September 1986, the band announced that they were to split. Barson rejoined the band for a farewell single, "(Waiting For) The Ghost Train", but did not appear in the music video. The band officially split following the release of the single, which reached a high of #18 in the UK. In 1988, four members of the band — Suggs, Chas Smash, Lee Thompson and Chris Foreman — created a new band, using the name The Madness. After one self-titled album and two singles that failed to make the the top 40, the band split.
Reunions and The Dangermen
In early 1992, "It Must Be Love" was re-released and reached #6 in the UK singles chart. Following that, the singles compilation Divine Madness was released and peaked at #1 in the album charts. Madness then announced plans for a reunion concert, Madstock!, which was held at Finsbury Park, London on August 8 and 9 of that year. The original lineup reunited, performing together for the first time since Mike Barson left the band in 1984. Over 75,000 fans attended the weekend festival, and during "One Step Beyond", the crowd danced so much they caused an earth tremor which measured over 4 on the richter scale. A subsequent live album was released, and the associated single, "The Harder They Come" (a cover of Jimmy Cliff's 1973 song) reached #44 in the UK.
The band continued to reunite for annual UK Christmas season tours and held three more Madstock! festivals; in 1994, 1996 and 1998. In 1999, Madness released their first studio album since 1986, entitled Wonderful. The album reached #17 in the UK album charts, and the lead single, "Lovestruck", gave the band their first new top 10 hit in the UK since 1983. Neither of the two subsequent singles from the album, "Johnny The Horse" and "Drip Fed Fred", entered the top 40 of the UK charts.
From October 28, 2002 to August 16, 2003, a musical based on Madness songs, Our House, ran at the Cambridge Theatre in west London. Madness played a role in the executive production of the show, and Suggs played a role in the production for a period of time, playing the central character's father. It won an Olivier Award for best new musical of 2003, and the performance was released on DVD on November 1, 2004. There was also a previous musical based on Madness songs, One Step Beyond!, written by Alan Gilbey. The musical had a brief run at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in 1993.
In 2004, the band played a series of low-key concerts as The Dangermen, performing covers of classic reggae and ska songs. A lot of the songs were those played by the band when they were first forming, and the band performed the songs as a celebration of their 25 year anniversary. This led to the release of the album The Dangermen Sessions Vol. 1 in August 2005. However, during the sessions which produced the album, the band's guitarist Chris Foreman announced his departure. Foreman left the band in mid 2005, citing "the petty, time consuming bollocks that goes on in the band" in a statement announcing his decision to leave. The band completed the album without him, and on release, it peaked at #11 in the UK album charts, which was the band's highest studio album chart position in 21 years. Although two singles were released, neither was a major success in the UK. The more successful of the two, "Shame & Scandal", reached #38. Despite the poor chart showing, the single reached #12 in France.
In late 2006, this six remaining members of Madness began working on their first original album in seven years. However, for Madness' 2006 Christmas season tour, Foreman rejoined the band. In March 2007, the single "Sorry" was released from the band's upcoming album, peaking in the UK charts at #23. The single included a version featuring UK hip hop artists Sway DaSafo and Baby Blue. Both artists were included on the music video which accompanied the hip-hop version of the song, but not on the original music video. Both music videos were also without Chris Foreman, despite the fact that he was a band member at the time of release.
The new Madness song "NW5 (I Would Give You Everything)" and a re-recorded version of "It Must Be Love" were featured in the German film Neues vom Wixxer. The two songs were released in Germany as a double A-Side, and both of them were turned into music videos. While promoting "Sorry", Sway DaSafo confirmed in an interview with NME that he will perform in the recording of Madness' updated version of their song "Baggy Trousers", entitled "Baggy Jeans". The updated song will be featured on Madness' upcoming studio album, and also released as a single. DaSafo predicted the song will be a "huge smash gaurenteed", although the date of release is not yet known.
Lyrical themes
Although Madness were seen by many as somewhat of a humorous band with catchy, bouncy songs, they sometimes tackled, what were at the time, controversial issues in their lyrics. "Embarrassment" (from the "Absolutely" album) was written by Lee Thompson, and reflected the unfolding turmoil following the news that his teenage sister had become pregnant and was carrying a black man's child. The band discussed animal testing in the song "Tomorrow's Dream". The band criticized the National Health Service in "Mrs. Hutchinson"; which told the story of a woman who, after several misdiagnoses and mistreatment, became terminally ill. The story was based on the experiences of Mike Barson's mother. Madness' final single prior to disbanding, "(Waiting For) The Ghost Train", commented on apartheid in South Africa.
Skinhead controversy
Early in their career, Madness were linked to skinheads; members of a British working class subculture that the media often stereotyped as racist (although the clear majority of skinheads were anti-racist). Not only were Madness, along with other 2 Tone bands, popular with skinheads, but it was said that the band members themselves were associated with the subculture. The band's relationship with the skinheads varied at times. Mike Barson was particularly displeased with the band's skinhead following, often finding it disappointing that so many were present at performances. Prior to becoming a full member of the band, Chas Smash had been involved in fights with skinheads at performances. In one particular incident on November 18, 1979, Madness were supported by "Red Beans and Rice", who featured a black lead singer, and the band were prevented from completing the performance due to the racist chants from certain members of the skinhead filled audience. Suggs later came on stage to show his displeasure at their behaviour, but this didn't stop much of the audience from Nazi saluting at the end of the show.
In a 1979 NME interview, Madness member Chas Smash was quoted as saying "We don't care if people are in the NF as long as they're having a good time." This added to speculation that Madness was a racist band supporting the fascist group National Front, although the band members denied those allegations. Numerous fans felt upset that Chas Smash's views were mispresented by the media, with yellow journalists just looking for a story in their eyes. Smash responded to the NME article in the song "Don't Quote Me On That". Eventually, band members denied their skinhead roots, which disappointed much of their skinhead fan base. The issue faded as the years went by and the far-right skinhead groups failed completely in winning converts, their particular fringe shrinking massively while in the meantime Madness' international popularity grew.
The band's first notable musical award came in 1983 when they won an "Ivor Novello Award" for Best Song for the international hit "Our House". They received another "Ivor Novello Award" 17 years later for an "Outstanding Song Collection". In 2005, they were awarded the Mojo Magazine "Hall Of Fame" award, notably for being 'an artist's artist'. As of 2007, a campaign is taking place by fans of Madness for the band to be awarded a Brit award. Many fans and critics feel they have been overlooked over their past 30 years in the music industry.

I went to see Madness last month and they are still doing all their popular songs and are absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend going to see them. I got into them aged about 14 and Im 51 now and still love them.
These guys deserve a lifetime achievement award, so much better than the crap about today.

Seen them as part of two tone tour in the late seventies with the selector and the specials some gig brill live gig

Very talented songwriters and performers who spoke to a generation. We didn't realise how lucky we were in the late 70's and early 80's to have so many great bands around at the same time..... the specials, the beat and the jam, to mention just three. Nutty boys forever!
If you love the band, you'll never tire of them
Always...
Steve Lomas
STFU squarhead...Kraftwerk like many synth type bands were utter shite.these boys played real instruments.
Elmo Bolan
We were an American family stationed in England between 1977-1981, (I was 10-14 yrs old) so glad I got to experience this amazing music!!
Kevin Mottram
You are so right. Just look at the vast array of talent that populated the charts in those days, and compare that with the general shiteness of modern 'music'.
Solar Science
I'm a Reggae fan first of all but my favourite period in popular music is 1977-1982 which was called "New Wave" by the media. So many great bands starting with the Sex pistols: Clash, Jam, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Police, Specials , Selector, Bad Manners, The Beat, Buzzcocks, Squeeze, Stranglers, UB40, XTC, Talking Heads, Ian Dury, The Cure, Men at Work, The Pretenders I could go on.

Probably one of their best songs, but doesn't get any airplay these days, unlike other Madness songs.
Zelda Fitzgerald
They only ever play Our house, it must be love & House of fun. Such a shame as they have over 20 hits from 1979-84, very few of them ever get played.
Marley - ite
@alsie1 : Just like you never hear the best Bob Marley's tunes in the radio: Always the same one's ie One Love, Three Little Birds and No Woman no cry.
alsie1
My favourite Madness without a doubt! Top tune, you never hear it, they always play Our House etc. such a shame
Harry Hopkins
Yeah Micheal,obscure but right at the forefront at the same time.
I ask local Radio station to play it and they said they didn't have it on their playlist but all the other shit had on fuckin crap so I changed to another radio station One less Lesnar
DoctorCaptain.
Genius. No other band like Madness.

Absolutely, madness were unique in that they didn't take it too seriously in fact I bet they had a right laugh most of their time, but still producing fantastic tunes at the same time. Videos were unique too

We were blessed then,bands did their own thing,so many styles and talent

What makes/made Madness so great is the fact that they sang and showed how miserable and determined we British people can be and yet they showed, like the great artists they are, how wonderful that is about British people!
Idiosyncratic, but yeah, I'll take that

Love this band. I like all sorts of music from rock, indie etc, but these guys are unique. Good humour, Good music, Good lyrics

these guys made the best music videos in the history of music videos

They were very Pythonesque in their videos. The scene of them walking down the street and going into front doors next to each other is borrowed from the Beatles' film Help where they go into front doors next to each other and then entering the same house as the internal walls had been removed.

It's just called Embarrassment.

Yep very true.. It's weird I never took much notice back in the day, even though I loved madness.. Now at the age of 59 iv done a fair bit of research on the nutty boys 😁👍🎶

Just keep coming back...it's been 41yrs since a young Comrade Joe bought his first LP, Madness!
I actually cried at their Coogee concert in 1986. I was a Midshipman back then. We don't cry.
I waited 4hrs to get sitting legs over on the top balcony. Front row looking down!
One of the best times of my life. No question.

Tight as a drum, bass, rhythm all on point, brilliant band with brilliant talent and enduring sounds. The absolute soundtrack of my childhood and youth and I still can't name a band who can match them today. Haunting track which is very relevant today.
Love the dark element to this! great songwriters,played all their instruments,went their own way basically after Ska! top band period

It's brilliant. A song about the depths of depression and they followed it up with Our House and House of Fun :)

Doona Michelle
Soooo many years ago and still one of their best...
Sauro Galli
One of best songs of the band, in my opinion.
kerplunk001
Well said! Irrespective of what your personal musical tastes are, the one thing that makes "Proper" musicians, proper musicians, is their ability to sound as good live ( if not better) as the original record.This only comes from starting at the bottom and working your way up, honing their talent. Not like these production-line "Wannabee's" that can't write, play or perform live.Most of them should have been kept in the hairy sack!!
The most underrated band ever ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Remember listening to the top 40 in my parents back garden, sunday evening, must have been 8 or 9, this song resonates so strong! I Rate Madness above the Clash and the Specials and the Jam combined!!! They were soooo special to me and my mates.

So begins another weary day...

jasonrouke
Dunno if anyone has been lucky enough to see the lads in concert lately, its a testament to their talent that what you hear on CD is what you hear live, the interaction with the crowd and each other was phenomenal, 36 odd years and still doing SKA proud...keeping it real before the modern keeping it real were but a gathering in a hairy sack !!!

coulterdx7
great work by bedders
Paul Downey
So much memorable music from the late 70's and early 1980's. I was in my teens then so it made a big impression. Possibly a sign of middle age but is any memorable popular music made now?
Kurt Springer
No not really from South dakota USA
great in the 80s and still great
Pure pop classicism, and a great piece of skank. I recently had this song in my head all-day-long; and it looks like another sleepless night for me. Bears a melodic resemblance to Fad Gadget's Plain Clothes.
Mark supeotmail.co.ukrbrain
The moment I realised that Madness were an important band. Superb
I remember the singles coming out one after another and thinking, They've done it again - another great record. They were pretty much in another league to everyone else and I was genuinely sad when they broke up - like, Don't go!!!
thetiddlemonster
One of my favourite bands when I was young. Must have been about 8 (years and years after they were big) and they made me realise that music was about more than the bollocks in the top 40.
BuddyWaste
Maybe this is obvious...but just had to point out what these guys do at the start...they are going to sing an incredibly downer of a song all about how hard and depressing life is, yet they are laughing all the way to the bank...damn those bastards, they fooled us again! awesome!
reddwarfer999
@Owen Tomos Where there was always something happening and it was usually quite loud....

Three superb bands never really cracked it here in the States: the Move, the Jam, and especially these guys.
Ratel.H Badger
The Madness working class malaise they often sing about doesn't really translate well to the States. I think because it's a very "British" thing to do, to just carry on trudging and not complain. Out if some weird "mustn't complain about my lot" thing. In the States you just buck up your ideas and work harder or something.
The more upbeat songs Our House or It Must Be Love probably translated as they are more universal.
Dunno, just a thought anyway.

Chas is brilliant on the chrous of this song

Amazing isn't it?

Loved 'Grey Day' as it dispelled the myth that Madness were just a Ska band, which they never really were. They just made some Ska influenced records in their very early days. Grey Day sounds like their greatest influence, Roxy Music.
Stephen Allcroft
@Zelda Fitzgerald I would not say Roxy were the greatest influence on the boys, but certainly one.
Darren Hoggett I couldn't agree more. Madness have never been a ska band. Ska was just 1 small influence on them. More Roxy music I'd say with Lees sax. They are now classified under ska in Wikipedia,something I find very odd as they had moved away from that genre in early 1980.
stuart mcclung
This is pretty much a dub/reggae tune though... albiet with that madness touch added ;)

I've watched this video dozens of times, and this is one of my favourite Madness tunes, but I've got one question - what the eff does he say in the beginning after the alarm clock goes off?
Great bass line too

'I always knew she wasn't coming back': Demi Lovato IS leaving The X Factor USA after two seasons to go on tour, Simon Cowell confirms
By Iona Kirby
She has appeared as a judge on The X Factor USA for the past two seasons.
But Simon Cowell confirmed on Wednesday on the eve of the show's finale that Demi Lovato will not return, hours after reports emerged that she was leaving.
The music mogul, who has enjoyed lots of banter with his young co-star, said he was well aware that Demi was going to leave the programme due to scheduling conflicts.
Final countdown: Demi Lovato will be leaving The X Factor USA, Simon Cowell confirmed on Wednesday
'I always knew she wasn't coming back because she's touring, so I knew that,' Simon told The Hollywood Reporter.
After the 54-year-old broke the news, former Disney star Demi spoke about her departure to reporters.
'I started the show being a singer and a musician, and so I'm going to go back to that,' the 21-year-old pop star said.
Putting her music first: The pop star cannot stay on the panel because of scheduling conflicts, as she is going on tour
'It's been really great, but I'm so excited for 2014. I'm going to dedicate it completely and entirely to music – touring and making a new album. Possibly releasing one.'
There are, however, some things she will miss about the singing competition reality show, which will see her last appearance as a judge on Thursday.
'Being able to sit next to Kelly and Paulina and see them twice a week, and also helping mentor the contestants,' Demi said, when asked what she will miss most.
It's true: Simon confirmed Demi's departure after two seasons as a judge on the eve of the season three finale
Gal pals: The 21-year-old said she will most miss sitting next to Kelly Rowland (L) and Paulina Rubio, and mentoring the contestants
Meanwhile, Simon was vague when talking about the future of the show, but said during a press conference that he thinks it 'will be coming back next year'.
However amid rumours he will be returning to his spot on the judging panel of the UK version of the show, Mr Nasty added: 'I might have a different kind of role - we haven't discussed that yet.'
Aside from Simon, Demi was the only member of the panel from the second season to continue on to the third, with Britney Spears and LA Reid being replaced by Paulina Rubio and Kelly Rowland.
The first season had a judging panel that comprised Simon, LA, Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, with the latter replacing Cheryl Cole midway through the auditions.
Moving on up: Demi, pictured last week, hopes to make and maybe release a new album in 2014

My tastes are not perfectly in line with the...uh... Well, okay, that should be obvious. Tastes are inherently idiosyncratic. Even if some are more offbeat than others, we none of us march to the exact same beat.
I'm used to this most prominently with black humor. Not African American comedy but stuff like Very Bad Things, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Wicker Man and Psycho. (Yeah, lots of people like Psycho but Hitch viewed it as a comedy, as do I.) So it's a little strange to have a Romantic-Drama in the field of MILTEEH. Especially one with Robin Williams, who is not particularly to my taste.
Summary: After a series of tragic events taking the lives of his children, Robin Williams dies and goes to heaven, only to find his wife isn't there, because she took her own life after he died. He then embarks on a journey to save her.
So, why do I like this movie? Probably, in part, because of an unrepentant Romantic strain. And probably, in part, because I think there's a lot of philosophical truth behind it. The afterlife, in this movie, is pretty much what you make of it--not unlike life itself, but with a lot more freedom, since you're not dealing so much with this recalcitrant stuff called "matter".
Further, the "Hell" that Annie (Annabella Sciorra) goes to isn't a place she's assigned to by some bureaucratic angels, it's a place she herself has created through her grief. In other words, Heaven and Hell are made of the same stuff, just not by the same people. It also seems to be far, far away from Heaven, which reminds me of St. Augustine's notion that "Evil is distance from God".
So, why didn't people like this movie? The CGI is hot-and-heavy, showing a fluid, shifting afterlife (that reminds of Annie's painting), so that may have been part of it. I'd hate to think that people just didn't like the message, preferring instead the dull, steam-cleaned angels-and-harps of a more traditional Heaven.
One thing I have learned (from such movies as Chances Are and several others) is that movie audiences are very uncomfortable with multiple people playing the same character in a film. In What Dreams May Come, Annie and Chris's children are played by children in life, but in death but relatively famous adults. This is done with one of Chris's teachers, as well, though I can't recall if we see him in life.
I've found, though, when a movie says, "Surprise! I'm that other character you knew from before now played by a new actor," it seems to piss people off. (And it can be a cheap stunt.) Two out of the three times it's done in this film, it's necessary to the plot.
Then again, maybe it's the whole premise people reject. I don't know, but I rank it among my favorite films.
The reason why people hate this movie can be spelled out in two words: Robin Williams. I have some rules in life:" Never play cards with any man named "Doc." Never eat at any place called "Mom's." And never, never, no matter what else you do in your whole life, never go to see a movie starring Robin Williams.
Really? I thought he was popular!
Though, now that I think of it, I don't have any evidence of that, except they keep puttin' him in movies.
Robin Williams is the Anti-Christ. And going by your theory, Kevin Bacon in the most popular actor in the history of the world because he is in every other movie that comes out. But I guess that is OK because if he wasn't we would end up playing the "Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon" and that is just too freaking hard.
...Kevin Bacon has read one of them.
It looks like you're right about the Robin Williams animosity. I really soured on him in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
I still love WDMC, tho'.
I'm so dense that the first time I saw Bunuel's "Obscure object of desire" I didn't realize the female lead was being played by two different actresses.
It's highly, highly, HIGHLY Romantic--and therefore Williams' earnestness is prominent. You may want to avoid based on that.
But, as I say, it's like Orpheus in reverse. I love Orpheus.
There's a Renaissance version of the story (proto-opera) which has Eurydice being a total nag, and dogging Orpheus all the way from Hell. Which I also love.

MILLION DOLLAR ARM REVIEW
September 7, 2014 by pmbayobale, posted in Best and worst films, Biopic, Cinema, Drama, Film essay, Hollywood, Movie review, Sports movies, Uncategorized
Disney + Don Draper = one easygoing sports movie.
Jon Hamm takes the helm as J.B. Bernstein, a sports agent who stages an unconventional recruitment strategy to get talented Indian cricket players to play Major League Baseball. From the opening speech with JB attempting to sign a major player to his firm, the pitch and delivery just reminded me of Mad Men and how much I will miss it after next year. It felt like a what if scenario. What if Don Draper left advertising and became a sports agent? Hamm has proven yet again that he can take the lead and deliver a charismatic performance.
I fear that this could be the beginning of Hamm being typecast to play more Draper-esque roles. But it's early days and for some people, certain actors will always be certain TV or film characters. For now, it works. He carries the film where the story may drag or dip into familiar cliched territory. I mean at least this story was worth telling. I didn't realise that this had only happened recently. The fact that JB channel flicks to Susan Boyle's Britain's Got Talent audition. A perfect metaphor for judging a book by its cover. The very lesson this film aspires to teach.
Alan Arkin is . . . pretty much playing Alan Arkin. Sleeping, moaning and whining about the curry he ate the night before. Some of his quips were funny but he has played this character before and so much better in Little Miss Sunshine. He definitely has been typecast. He grumbles and has the odd liner but disappears all too quickly to make a good impression. He inevitably reappears and justifies his character's relevance. Only just. Bill Paxton played his part well and to be honest, there wasn't enough of him but this isn't his story. But my God, he has aged. The years have suddenly caught up with him. I know he was probably made up to be a little older for the role but yikes. Anyway, the main story is on our three Indian protagonists.
Pitobash as the eccentric Amit was brilliant. Scene stealing at every moment. From taking every little phrase literally;
Arkin: "He's got juice"
Pitobash: "You want juice. I get you juice"
To his documentary film making catching all the things JB wouldn't want in a PR video, he always brings a smile. Shuraj Sharma as Rinku with a unique stance for pitching baseballs and Madhur Mittal (Slumdog Millionaire) as Dinesh play the parts brilliantly. At first, Lake Bell's (What Happens In Vegas) character of the hot doctor lodger that rents JB's outhouse bungalow was a little annoying and so predictable. However, Bell and Hamm manage to convey enough chemistry to stop it from spoiling too much of the fun, even if the outcome is so obvious. Aasif Mandvi (The Internship) was wasted in his role, bar one good joke about recruiting the only three Indians who can't stand cricket. This did make it all the more interesting that the very pitchers they are looking for are field hockey and track athletes.
To be honest, the length didn't really bother me. I normally complain about the wavering length and at over two hours, I thought there may have been more moments in which I would be glancing at my watch. Not so! The opening may have been slow burning but there was enough easy going humour, charm and story to get away with it. Director Craig Gillespie catches the hustle and bustle of Bombay perfectly and has a cheeky poke at their politics. "We don't bribe. We simply bypass the busy system by offering a little money", offers Darshan Jariwala's incompetent but loveable aide Vivek.
The first hour allowed time to be spent on the character's backgrounds and upbringings which gave them a more rounded dimension. It also allows for a compelling contrast when the lads are put up in a hotel and are lost in translation with an elevator and escalator. I expected a little more tension with Dinesh's family with his strict father but an unexpected heart to heart surprised me. I also feared that the film would baffle me with baseball statistics and terms as I'm not a baseball (or sports in general) fan but they use only a few slang words which are easily explained.
However, it's funny, easy going with a nice uplifting, if slightly abrupt, ending. A somewhat mish mesh of Jerry Maguire and Slumdog Millionaire. The cast work brilliantly together as their fractious relationship and unexpected union are tested as they work against the odds to prove everybody, and themselves, wrong that nothing is impossible. Awww. Nice stuff.
3.5/5 Certainly one of the better ones. Not without its imperfections but worth a watch.

Lake City Truck Accident Lawyer
Home | Lake City Truck Accident Lawyer
Semi-trucks, big rigs, and other commercial trucks are massive vehicles. An accident involving one of them can have catastrophic consequences.
Whether you're driving up I-75 or heading down 441, you'll frequently encounter a lot of truck traffic in the Lake City area. If the unthinkable happens and you get into an accident with a big rig, you may suffer severe injuries that threaten to change your life forever.
Victims of Lake City truck accidents can turn to the law firm of Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A., for help. We fight to make sure individuals who suffer injuries in truck accidents receive the financial compensation they need to regain their health and rebuild their lives. Contact us right away for a free case consultation.
We Get Results for Truck Accident Victims
The experienced team of lawyers and legal professionals at Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A., has been fighting on behalf of injured Floridians for over 35 years. Our mission is to help our clients get the compensation owed to them under Florida law when someone else's wrongful actions cause them harm.
We have an especially strong track record of results in truck accident cases, including:
$2,500,000 for a client whose vehicle got trapped under a semi-truck after a collision;
$1,000,000 for a client who suffered injuries when a semi-truck carrying cement suddenly pulled out in front of him;
$305,000 for a client injured when a semi-truck caused a collision while changed lanes on the highway;
$300,000 for a client who sustained neck injuries when a semi-truck rear-ended her vehicle.
Our team cannot guarantee results, but case outcomes like the ones above demonstrate that our team has the skill, resources, and know-how to win for clients who have suffered severe injuries in Lake City-area truck accidents.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Florida suffers more than 3,000 traffic fatalities every year, a large percentage of them in accidents involving large trucks. Because trucks vastly outweigh passenger vehicles, the force of the impact routinely causes catastrophic and fatal injuries.
Frequently, truck accidents occur in and around Lake City because of mistakes and misconduct on the part of truck drivers. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), leading trucker-related causes of truck accidents include:
Under federal law, commercial truck drivers must not drive more than a fixed number of hours per day and week. They must also take regular breaks to ensure they stay alert and focused behind the wheel.
Unfortunately, even when truck drivers follow these rules (and many do not), the pace and stress of their jobs can wear them down. Many truckers take to the road without getting enough quality rest. The resulting fatigue that they feel impairs their driving abilities in many of the same ways as consuming alcohol would—it slows their reaction times, clouds their decision-making, and interferes with their ability to judge speed and distance.
Any of those impairments, much less a combination of them, can result in a deadly truck accident, made all the worse by the fact that it could have been prevented if only the trucker had gotten a good night's rest.
At Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A., we hold truckers and trucking companies accountable when drowsy truck drivers cause harm to Lake City-area motorists.
Truck System Failures
Trucks are complex machines consisting of numerous mechanical and electrical systems working in tandem. A failure in any of those systems at the wrong moment can send a large truck out of control and cause a catastrophic accident on a Lake City road.
Potentially vulnerable truck systems include:
Brakes and hydraulics;
Tires;
Transmissions;
Truck/trailer points of connection; and
Unsecured loads.
Truckers, trucking companies, automotive manufacturers, and maintenance contractors owe duties to the general public to ensure that no truck rolls on Lake City streets and highways in an unsafe condition. The Steven A. Bagen & Associates team investigates the root cause of truck accidents to identify anyone who should have taken reasonable steps to prevent it from occurring, and who therefore owes damages to our clients.
Speeding is another common cause of truck accidents. Truck drivers work on tight deadlines and, as mentioned above, federal regulations limit the amount of time they can spend behind the wheel before they must take a break. This can give them a strong incentive to speed whenever possible.
But a speeding truck puts everyone on the road in danger. It needs much more distance than a passenger vehicle to come to a safe stop. At high speeds, any sudden course change or braking can lead to it jackknifing or rolling over. Speed can also contribute to brake and other system failures.
Lawyers from Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A. know how to spot when speeding contributed to truck accidents. They also know where to find, and how to secure, evidence to prove a truck's speed at the time of an accident, which can help to strengthen a case for damages.
Compared to passenger vehicle accidents, relatively few truck accidents involve truckers driving drunk. More commonly, a trucker may drive—and cause an accident—while under the influence of legal or illegal drugs and medications.
As a group, truckers are in relatively poor health, which means they frequently take prescription medications that may have side effects that impair their driving abilities. As discussed above, fatigue also plagues the trucking industry and often leads drivers to rely on over-the-counter and illicit stimulants—from caffeine pills to amphetamines—to stay awake at the wheel.
It is illegal in Florida to drive while under the influence of any drug. At Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A., we fight to hold truckers accountable when they crash a truck while impaired by any legal or illegal substance.
Lack of Training and Experience
All commercial truckers must possess a commercial driver's license (CDL) to operate a truck legally on Lake City roads. To obtain a CDL, drivers must pass a battery of written and on-the-road tests to demonstrate the core skills necessary for safe truck driving.
Even after obtaining a CDL, however, many truck drivers lack the practical experience to navigate complicated on-road situations safely. Due to an ongoing labor shortage, trucking companies face constant pressure to press drivers into service before they're truly ready. That increases the risk of inexperienced drivers making mistakes and causing collisions.
A lack of experience is no excuse for a trucker causing a truck accident, however. Our team holds truckers and trucking companies to account for allowing dangerously inexperienced drivers behind the wheel.
Seeking Compensation for a Lake City Truck Accident
Lake City motorists and residents who suffer injuries and losses in truck accidents often have a right under Florida law to seek compensation from the party (or parties) at fault. Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A., represents those truck accident victims in the lawsuits and insurance claims they must pursue to get the money they deserve.
We find the parties who owe damages to our clients.
Numerous parties can face legal liability to victims of a truck accident in Lake City. Our attorneys investigate the causes of truck accidents, often with the assistance of experienced accident reconstruction specialists, to identify every party whose unreasonable, dangerous actions led to a crash. Those are the parties who may owe money damages to our clients.
Every truck accident in Lake City differs, of course, but often our investigations reveal that fault and liability in a crash lie with:
The truck driver, who made poor decisions while inspecting or operating a vehicle that contributed to the cause of an accident;
The owner of the truck/employer of the truck driver, who has an independent obligation to make sure the truck stays in good working condition, and that the driver has the necessary qualifications and experience;
The truck manufacturer, which may face liability for any Lake City truck accident caused by the failure of a defective truck part or truck system;
A truck maintenance contractor, who has a duty to perform competent work on a truck to keep it running safely; or
A shipper who loads a truck with cargo, if its failure to secure a load results in the load shifting or spilling in transit, which in turn caused an accident.
In addition to parties related to the maintenance and operation of the truck involved in a crash, other parties could also face legal liability to victims of a Lake City truck accident.
They may include:
Other motorists whose dangerous actions while sharing the road with a truck trigger a truck accident; or
Local and state government bodies tasked with maintaining safe roads in and around Lake City for truck traffic.
The Steven A. Bagen & Associates team approaches every truck accident case with an open mind and a blank slate, determined to hold every party who bears responsibility for an accident to account.
We pursue maximum compensation.
Proving who owes you compensation for your injuries is only half the battle. The lawyers and legal professionals of Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A. also understand the critical importance of collecting and presenting evidence to show the full scope of harm suffered by the truck accident victim we represent.
Our team works tirelessly to build the strongest possible case for maximum damages.
In a typical truck accident case, we can establish the proof necessary to get our clients paid for their:
Lost earning potential
Loss of life enjoyment
Present and future medical expenses
Rehabilitation costs
Other accident-related out-of-pocket expenses
To obtain that compensation on our clients' behalf, our team will often file and pursue lawsuits in Columbia County courts against the at-fault parties and/or insurance claims against the at-fault parties' liability insurance carriers.
Ideally, those legal actions will result in the at-fault parties coming to the table and agreeing upon a fair settlement of our clients' claims. But if they don't, our team also has the resources and skills to take our clients' cases to court and to win an award from a Columbia County judge or jury. At Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A., we take pride in obtaining top-dollar results in and out of the courtroom in truck accident cases.
Act Now to Protect Your Rights to Money Damages
As a Lake City truck accident victim, you likely have valuable legal rights to receive compensation for the harm you have suffered. But you must act quickly by contacting an experienced lawyer today.
Florida law limits the amount of time you have to file a claim after you have been injured in a truck accident. In most Lake City truck accident cases, the statute of limitations for a legal action seeking damages is, at most, four years, and it could be as little as a few months in some cases. If you miss this deadline for taking legal action, you could lose your rights to payment for your injuries and losses.
In addition, truck accident cases frequently involve multiple victims who may seek compensation, and multiple individuals and commercial parties who may owe liability to those victims. Victims will often race to file their claims quickly, and potentially at-fault parties will often scramble to point the finger at one another to avoid liability. It's a complex and dynamic situation where victims risk losing out if they do not have a skilled lawyer representing them.
Speak With an Aggressive Lake City Truck Accident Lawyer Today
Do not wait to get the legal advice you need after getting hurt in a Lake City truck accident. Your ability to secure the money you need to pay for your medical bills and to rebuild your life may depend on you taking immediate action.
For a free consultation with an experienced truck accident lawyer, contact Steven A. Bagen & Associations, P.A. online or by phone at (800) BAGEN-LAW.

Michael J. Sullivan, author of The Riyria Revelations and The Riyria Chronicles series, dropped by r/Fantasy last week for an AMA. Along with insights into his writing process, book recommendations, and advice for aspiring authors, the author also dropped some updates about his upcoming books. Click through for the latest dispatch from the world of Elan!
On more Elan stories:
I have three series planned for Elan.
Riyria (Revelations and Chronicles) that for the sake of argument let's say it's the "farthest forward" in the timeline. Revelations is done, and the Chronicles are "ongoing"—sorta. I have a possible 10 books in that series but I won't write them all if the pair start to "wear thin" so I release a book, check the temperature of the fans, and if they want more, I write another.
Legends of the First Empire is [set] 3,000 years before Riyria and is a completed six-book series. There won't be any more "Legends" books (at least not that I can see). 4 of those books are out now, and the last two are due 2/4/20 and 5/5/20.
Rise and Fall is a trilogy that sits "between" Legends and Riyria. The first book occurs about 200 years after the end of Age of Empyre and the next book a few more hundred years ahead, and the last book occurs 1,000 years before Riyria and 2,000 years after Legends.
Those set of books pretty much wrap up everything about the Elan stories except for one "teeny-tiny" thing that to finish off completely would make me go ahead in the timeline (post Revelations). Will I write that book? I'm not sure. I might just finish off Rise and Fall and call it quits there.
All that said, I have a lot of other books I want to write, many of them in genres other than fantasy. I want to do a sequel to Hollow World, I also have a sci-fi trilogy that I outlined about 8 years ago. I have a horror story I've been wanting to write, and I have about a dozen or so other stories I'd like to explore. Bottom line, I have more stories than I'll be able to write before I croak over, so I'm just going to try to get as many of them out as I can, and many of them have nothing to do with Riyria or Elan.
On the next Riyria Chronicles volume, Drumindor:
As most know, I won't jeopardize Riyria franchise by jumping the shark tank, so I'd rather have the pair leave too soon than stay too long. To that end, I release a Riyria book, wait a bit, and then take the temperature. If there is still interest, then I write another one.
The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter came out in October 2018. Generally speaking, we need about 6 months after the release to determine "if" there will be a new installment, and I'm pleased to say that in April 2019 we did indeed determine that Royce and Hadrian haven't yet overstayed their welcome. So, the "placeholder" of Drumindor shifted from "possible" to "it will be created." I did the outline for this book in 2017 (and all the other Riyria Chronicle books "just in case"), so it's just a matter of writing. Since I already [have] books planned for release for Feb (Age of Death) and May (Age of Empyre) 2020, the soonest it will come out is either late 2020 or early 2021. That gives me plenty of time to write it. It'll be fun to be back with the pair again. I'm always amazed by how easy it is to "fall back" into their adventures. It'll be nice to be "home" again.
On the Drumindor plot, and whether fans will get to see Royce and Hadrian 20 years in the future:
The pair will be taking their first trip to the dwarven fortress on the bay of Tur Del Fur.
As for a Royce and Hadrian 20 years after Riyria…no plans in the works for that one. I think the "guys" were left in a good place and they deserve a rest ;-)
On his upcoming Elan trilogy, The Rise and Fall:
It can best be summed up as "the bridge books" because it is sandwiched between Legends and Riyria. It'll start about 200 years after the end of Age of Empyre and end 1,000 years before Theft of Swords.
In it, you will meet some people you've heard of (but probably don't remember)—like Princess Farilane, and some you know quite well (like Esrahaddon). I think for those who want to know more about what happened during the revolt that sent the Heir and the Guardian into hiding, this will be a book that gives them those answers.

Q: Get latest master, including submodules There is one thing I want: the latest bits of the remote master. This is equally true for the for the sub-modules. I'm not interested in any other branch or history. Any change made locally irrespective whether these changes are tracked or not should be blindly ditched.
So, here is my shot on this, formulated as part of a Makefile. It is quite slow (lots of/large files) and it fails some times. Please let me know how to improve it:
pull: $(LOCAL_REPO)
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git submodule foreach git fetch origin master
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git submodule foreach git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git submodule foreach git clean -fdx
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git submodule foreach git pull --rebase --allow-unrelated-histories origin master --depth 1
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git fetch origin master
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git clean -dfx
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git pull --rebase --allow-unrelated-histories origin master --depth 1

$(LOCAL_REPO):
    mkdir -p $(LOCAL_REPO)
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git init
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git remote add origin $(PRIVATE_GITHUB_GIT)
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git pull origin master --depth 1
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git submodule init $(SUBMOD1) $(SUBMOD2) $(SUBMOD3)
    cd $(LOCAL_REPO) && git submodule update --remote --merge --depth 1


Food problem - one of the global problems facing mankind. Ultimate goal of all planned actions is providing each person with full-fledged food in enough and the wide range.
Along with increase in production of these products there is also other effective way of achievement of goal - decrease in unjustified losses at different production phases, transportations, storages and uses of foodstuff, application of wasteless technologies of their processing, and also development and deployment at catering establishments, the food industry and in house life of modern, more perfect processing methods of cooking. The purpose of these developments - the maximum preservation of nutrition value of products, their economical expenditure, wide use in food of the population of fruit and vegetables.
Value of balanced diet is obvious to preservation and promotion of health of people. In recent years these questions connect more and more closely with culture of consumption which is understood not only as balanced diet, but also the economical, careful and reasonable attitude to food in general.
Articles brought to attention readers acquaint with bases of balanced diet, with the last achievements of science in this area. Specific place is held by questions of balance of diet, practical recommendations about improvement of its structure are made. The majority of the recipes given on the website according to recommendations of Institute of food orients readers to wide use of vegetable dairy products.

Introduction Cold storage of kidneys during transplantation is used as a preservation technique to slow down damaging effect of normothermic ischemia and to reduce metabolic and enzymatic activity. Although cold ischemia reduces the oxygen demand it is known that shortened graft survival and posttransplant morbidity are associated with cold storage organ injury. The causative role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cold storage induced injury is not well recognized. Oxidative stress and resulting lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation are responsible for altered kidney function. Aim of this study was to determine the effects of cold ischemia on antioxidant enzyme activities and examine protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation in rat kidney tissue. Materials and methods Kidneys of male Wistar rats (3 months old) were harvested and flushed via intraaortic cannula with cold saline. Organs were placed in a small container with 50 ml of saline and stored at 4ºC for 6, 12 or 24 hours. In control group kidney were flushed and immediately frozen. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was measured via the thiobarbituric acid color reaction for malondialdehyde (MDA). Protein carbonyl content (PCC) was determined spectrophotometrically after labeling with 2, 4- dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH- Px) activity were determined using comercialy available kit. Results Cold storage caused a time dependant increase of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and protein carbonyl content (PCC). SOD activity was markedly and time dependantly increased with cold storage and positively correlated with levels of LPO and PCC. Same result was observed with GSH-Px activity. Conclusions Results of this study demonstated that cold storage causes time dependant increase in antioxidant activity and tissue injury.

Q: error: has incomplete type|: within a nested class? I'm trying to declare an object of type WRAPPED that is within the class WRAPPED and the class WRAPPED is contained within another class called WRAPPER. I'm getting these compiler errors.
nested_class_incomplete_type.cpp|56|instantiated from 'WRAPPER<NODE>'|
nested_class_incomplete_type.cpp|62|instantiated from here|
nested_class_incomplete_type.cpp|36|error: 'WRAPPER<T>::WRAPPED::WRAP' has incomplete type|
nested_class_incomplete_type.cpp|33|error: declaration of 'class WRAPPER<NODE>::WRAPPED'|

I tried doing this too WRAPPER::WRAPPED WRAP; but that yields the same exact error. This normally would not be an issue if the WRAPPED class existed outside a class but for some reason it won't allow me to declare such a simple object. Feel free to enlighten me with the magical world of C++ compiler semantics and the god Stroustrup. Heres the code.
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class NODE
{
        int data;

    public:

        NODE(){}
        ~NODE(){}
        NODE(int data)
        {
            this->data = data;
        }
        void print()
        {
            std::cout<<"data: "<<this->data<<std::endl;
        }
};
template <class T>
class WRAPPER
{
    public:

        static T GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE;

    WRAPPER(){}
    ~WRAPPER(){}

        class WRAPPED
        {
            public:

            WRAPPER::WRAPPED WRAP;

            WRAPPED(){}
            ~WRAPPED(){}
            void set(T GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE)
            {
                WRAPPER::GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE = GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE;
            }
            T& get()
            {
                return GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE;
            }
            WRAPPED& operator=(const WRAPPED &INSIDE)
            {
                GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE = INSIDE.GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE;

                return *this;
            }
        };

        WRAPPED INSIDE;
};
template <class T>
T WRAPPER<T>::GLOBAL_WRAPPER_TYPE;
int main()
{
    WRAPPER<NODE> WRAPPING;
    WRAPPING.INSIDE.set(NODE(99));
    NODE temp = WRAPPING.INSIDE.get();
    temp.print();

    return 0;
}

A: Essentially what you're trying to do is:
class A
{
    A a;
};

int main()
{
    A a;
    return 0;
}

(You can see that this produces the same error here)
This is infinite recursion, you're defining a type using itself. Take a pointer instead, like so:
class A
{
    A* a;
};

int main()
{
    A a;

    return 0;
}

As you can see here this compiles.


A TV or a projector? Well, this can be a hard decision for some of us. If we compare the price of a 65+ inch TV with a projector we will see there is a huge price difference between them. A TV will be a lot more expensive compared to a projector. A projector will give you a lot of bang for a buck if you need a huge screen. Die hard movie lovers will always pick a projector over a TV, I'm pretty sure about that. But buying a projector is never an easy job and it is more difficult if you are buying for the first time.
There are some factors which we need to consider before spending our hard earn money. A projector should have some qualities: it should be bright, should offer good picture quality, should have all connectivity options and the lamp should last a few thousand hours. There are mainly two different types of projectors available in the market: DLP and 3LCD. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
I recently got my hands on the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 which is a 3LCD based Full HD projector. There are some notable advantages of this kind of 3LCD projectors over DLP projectors. Firstly, there is no distracting rainbow effect which is the main issue with single chip DLP projectors. If you are sensitive to rainbow effect you should consider a 3LCD projector. Unlike DLP projectors 3LCD projectors offer more color brightness. So the images will be more vibrant compared to a DLP which has a same brightness rating. Lastly, the price of replacing the bulbs is a lot cheaper on 3LCD projector.
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 packs plenty of high-end features at an affordable price. It is a very bright projector with 3000 Lumens of both white and color brightness. This projector can be used in rooms with moderate ambient light. It has a native resolution of 1920×1200 (WUXGA) which is more than Full HD. The aspect ratio is 16:10, so there will be little black bars on top and bottom when playing Full HD videos. However, if you are planning to use this projector with computer, it will be a great choice, thanks to the extra vertical resolution. It also has a split screen feature where two different sources can be projected at the same time.
The dynamic contrast ratio is 15,000:1 which is good in this price range. There is automatic vertical and manual horizontal keystone adjustment which gives the freedom to place the projector at any angle from the screen. It has manual focus and 1.2x zoom adjustments. You can achieve up to 300" display from around 36 ft.
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 is equipped with multiple connectivity options. It has two HDMI connections; one of them is MHL compatible. So you can just plug-in a streaming stick like Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV Stick directly without additional power supply. There is one VGA connector for computer and RCA video and audio connector for DVD or VCD players.
Surprisingly, there is no audio output port. There is no way to connect to external speakers to the projector. You have to connect speakers directly to a computer or any other source. When Epson's other home theatre projectors like PowerLite Home Cinema 2045 has it, I don't know why they decided to remove an important connector like this. It can be a deal breaker for many who are planning to use streaming sticks with the projector. While the built-in 2W mono speaker is good enough for presentations, it is not an ideal solution for movies or videos.
If you want to use a streaming stick with it, then the only workaround will be a HDMI audio splitter which can be found for around $30. Or if your streaming stick has Bluetooth connectivity like Amazon Fire TV Stick, then you can use a Bluetooth speaker with the projector. If you don't have Bluetooth speakers, you can get a Bluetooth audio receiver and connect to your existing speakers.
The projector comes with a remote control which is very easy to use.
Let's talk about the most important thing about this projector which is the picture quality. The reason why you will be buying a projector. On paper, it has an impressive feature set with high brightness and contrast. But how does it translate in the real world?
I'm happy to report that PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 excels in all tests except one thing. This projector is very bright in normal mode. I never had any issues using this projector in a moderately lit room. The ECO mode brings down the brightness, but it is still pretty bright. Most of the time I kept it in ECO mode.
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 projects beautiful and vivid images. The video quality is excellent. It is a joy to watch movies and videos on such a big screen. There are four color modes: Dynamic, Bright Cinema, Cinema, and Game. I preferred the Dynamic and Bright Cinema modes to watch videos. Each of the color modes can be further customized for better color calibration. You can manually tweak contrast, brightness, color saturation and temperature, tint, sharpness etc. There is Auto Iris feature to enhance the black level. When it is set to high-speed it helps to create darker black, but still it is somewhat gray. I wish it had better black levels. This is the only complaint about the picture quality.
The noise level is low when the projector is running in ECO mode. In normal mode, you can hear the fan noise, but it will not spoil the movie watching experience if you are using external speakers. When the Auto Iris is set to high-speed there is audible noise when the video is transitioning from bright scene to dark or vice versa. You can disable Auto Iris if you find this sound distracting.
The retail price of this projector is $799.99. However, you can find it for around $600 in many stores.
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 is an excellent projector in this price range. It is suitable for both business presentations and movies. It is bright and offers great picture quality. The lamp last 5000 hours in normal mode and 10,000 hours in ECO mode. The replacement lamp is just $79 which is very cheap compared to DLP projectors. The cost of ownership is very low for this projector. To sweeten the deal Epson is also providing 2 year warranty which is great. I would recommend this projector to anyone who is looking for an affordable Full HD home theatre projector.
Two HDMI ports with MHL connectivity.
Long lamp life and cheap replacement lamps.
The black level is not that good.

VA MITRE REPORT RELEASED – Politico eHealth
A FOIA request got us a copy of the January MITRE Corp. report on interoperability. The 42-page report recommended that the VA stand firm in demanding that Cerner maximize ease of access to its data for building third-party APIs and apps for future community innovations. It also called for holding Cerner accountable for reducing the administrative burden in clinician workflow with the objective of increasing efficiency and that the system have the capacity for bulk data export based on standards, with no proprietary formats, and a "push" capability to insert patient data back into the VA database.
The VA concurred with all the recommendations in the report, and most were included in the final contract signed in May.
… The report also reveals that the 12 private-sector members of the review panel included health IT luminaries such as Cris Ross, CIO of the Mayo Clinic, Chuck Christian of the Indiana Health Information Exchange, Kenneth Mandl of Harvard Medical School — and Bruce Moskowitz, an internist who belongs to President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago country club.
… In its 3rd Quarter earnings report last week (a small earnings shortfall led to a 11 percent stock price hit on Friday), Cerner said it expected to ramp up work at year's end on the initial four VA sites, which are to go live in 2020.
It also reported that everything was going fine on the MHS Genesis project, despite reports of a negative preliminary review by independent inspectors at Madigan Army Medical Center, the largest of the four initial rollout sites. "The project is moving along well and is on track," Chief Financial Officer Marc Naughton said. "We believe we're on target with what we've been tasked to do."

Browse: Home » Should You Form an LLC for Rental Property?
I had a question from a client about forming an LLC for rental property.
Question: We are considering forming and LLC for rental property we have and are considering purchasing. Our intent of creating the LLC is to isolate and manage the finances with regard to the rental. We plan on purchasing other properties for the same purpose. Is there any value in creating the LLC for this purpose?
Answer: Normally, people will form an LLC for rental property for several reasons. The biggest is liability protection and an attorney should be consulted about whether an LLC is prudent or whether good insurance, including an umbrella policy, is sufficient. The other reasons are because they want an LLC as a business name for legitimacy, to attract investors, or to lessen IRS audit risk (partnerships and corporations get audited less than individual returns). But having an LLC with two owners in a non-community state would also require filing a partnership return, which is extra expense.
Other than that, just having a separate bank account for each rental can sufficiently keep finances organized. Please be aware that you will need to track the income and expenses separately for each property. You may want a separate bank account for each property or make sure to set up your tracking properly to track everything separately. I would not form an LLC just for that reason. There are no other tax benefits from having the LLC other than the non-tax benefits outlined above.
Please be aware, that if you are going to have an LLC for rental property, the real estate must be titled in the name of the LLC for you to file taxes under that LLC and for the legal liability protection you may be seeking. If you have an LLC and the real estate is titled to you individually, there really is no point in the LLC.


Reading classic novels is basically a rite of passage that is crucial to the teenage experience. Some of these books you may have already read for school, but I recommend rereading them for fun, because leisurely reading a book creates a whole different perspective than reading one for homework! So check out this list of classic novels every teen should read, then raid your school library!
While I don't consider "Romeo and Juliet" to be Shakespeare's greatest work, it still is a love story by Shakespeare, meaning it is incredible! This play is fast-paced, passionate, and dramatic. Watching the movie cannot possibly mimic the experience of reading the play, plus it's one of those stories that everyone expects you to know inside and out. That's why "Romeo and Juliet" is certainly one of the best classic books every teen should read.
I've yet to meet a teenage girl who doesn't love Jane Austen! Her writing is simple yet elegant, and her characters are so believable that you start to think you're a part of the story! Out of her many novels, the most renowned is certainly "Pride and Prejudice." If you're a fan of romance novels, you shouldn't leave high school before reading this book, the romance novel of all romance novels!
Fitzgerald has a way with words like no other 20th century author. He crafts sentences that feel like music as your eyes glide over them; reading any one of his books is an absolute privilege. However, his most popular, and arguably best-written novel, is "The Great Gatsby." It's a story of love, lust, greed, and deceit, all wrapped up in one adventurous summer. It's a must-read for any teen!

Harper Lee took the world by storm with "To Kill a Mockingbird." This book is especially important to read as a teenager because you are constructing your moral compass as you become more informed about the world. Lee will take you back in time to an era where racism was more widespread and intense than you've ever witnessed it, and will open your eyes to the harsh reality of what man is capable of when blinded by ignorance.
Speaking of ignorance and blind hatred, Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl" features a young Jewish girl surviving in an attic, hiding from Nazis who have taken over her home country.

This true story will almost certainly have you in tears, as well as renew your perspective on life.
