Famous Textiles Designers
Florence and Hans Knoll
Last week we toured an event of Knoll Textiles (1945–2010) during the Bard scholar Center. The textiles and items were breathtaking, but what hit me most had been the rich story of women in design — from the founding inside 1940s through to the current, practically all Creative Directors of textile unit happen ladies (apart from a short span in 1980s). While Florence Knoll is children name, the women she employed and people which later accompanied the lady are less famous, so here's a brief "who's who" of over 50 many years of women who helped to contour textile design at Knoll and beyond.
Marianne Strengell (webbing) and Ralph Rapson (seat). Pebble-Weave webbing on Rapson rocking seat. Ca. 1945. Birch, cotton webbing. Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
: the girl "behind the brand name, " Florence Knoll studied design under Eero Saarinen and Mies van der Rohe before working for Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Wallace K. Harrison. She married Hans Knoll in 1946, exactly the same year she became his complete business and design companion. Florence headed Knoll Textiles and pioneered the Knoll preparing device, advocating "total design" — a philosophy that closely integrated textiles, design, area preparation, interior decorating, production, layouts, and branding.
: Florence Knoll and Finnish fashion designer Marianne Strengell attended Cranbrook Academy in Michigan together. Marianne designed 1st Knoll textile — a pattern called Shooting Stars — and her work helped to profile their textile unit with its very early many years. From 1937 to 1961, Marianne worked as a professor at Cranbrook and — for some of the time — was mind associated with school's textile department.
: a fruitful musician and visual designer, she was also the spouse of this popular Czech designer Antonin Raymond. The Raymonds invested most of the 20s and 30s working on architectural tasks in Japan, when Noémi started designing fabrics for Knoll, her work made powerful recommendations to old-fashioned Japanese shibori (tye-dye) and katazome (stencil-dyeing).

Mayhem Horror Film Festival 2014 (Part 2): Day 3
DAY 3: Saturday 1st November
The first full day of Mayhem started at 12pm and went on well past 12am. The black coffee, with a few shots of Jack, was flowing.
Saturday was kicked off with Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead.
I had already seen this, but it was still great watching it a second time. The Swedish comedy horror is directed and written by the same team that made the first film, Stig Frode Henriksen, Vegar Hoel, Tommy Wirkola.
This sequel carries straight on from the Dead Snow and follows Martin (Vegar Hoel), who has already accidentally killed his girlfriend with an axe, chain-sawing his own arm off, and watched in horror as his closest friends were devoured by a zombified Nazi battalion. What could possibly be worse? Everything else to come! Herzog is now on the rampage to finish what he started and all out warfare ensues.
This movie is an absolute blast from start to finish with some great SFX and, although quite different from its predecessor, is even better. This is a must watch for Dead Snow fans.
Dead Snow 2 gets 4 Stars
Check out the trailer...
Next up was the psychological horror Starry Eyes, written and directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer and starring Alex Essoe who gave the best female performance in a film at the festival.
What would you be willing to do and how far would you go to gain fame and fortune? This movie delves into the dark side of Hollywood and follows Sarah's (Essoe) attempts at stardom and her journey to getting what she wants.
Her own life isn't just affected, but also her friends, who are also tyring to break into the film industry.
This is really up there as regards being one of the best films this year.
Starry Eyes gets 5 Stars
Housebound is a horror comedy from New Zealand, written and directed by Gerard Johnstone. The film marks his feature length directional debut.
Kylie (Morgana O'Reilly) is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam (Rima Te Wiata) who's convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie becomes privy to unsettling whispers & strange bumps in the night, and begins to wonder if the house is in fact possessed by a hostile spirit.
Much like the first film of the day, this is a blast from start to finish with some great humour, thrills and plot twists.
Housebound gets 4 Stars
Here's the trailer...
Next up was a selection of short films from various directors from around the globe. Here's the line-up...
CALL GIRL. Director: Jill Sixx Gevargizian
In one man's attempt to exploit his date night via video-chat, he ends up sharing something far more disturbing.
METAMORPHOSIS. Director: Robert Nevitt
An unwitting participant in a medical trial discovers that some drugs have rather strange side effects.
BASKIN. Director: Can Evrenol
Four cops, go to hell.
6 SHOOTER. Director: David Wayman
6 friends discover a mysterious old bottle, but they soon learn it contains more than just alcohol.
BOX ROOM. Director: Michael Lathrop
Jerry is a strange and solitary boy who lives alone with his young neglectful mother in a run down apartment. Behind the bedroom wall he discovers a seductive alien creature.
MR DENTONN. Director: Ivan Villamel
On a cold winter night, Laura reads her brother David the story of a strange creature that attacks children. Suddenly, a shiver runs up Laura's body from feeling a strange presence in the house.
THE MUCK. Director: Tony Wash
Laverne comes home after a strenuous workout and decides to take a relaxing bath. She strips down, settles into the tub, and closes her eyes. Serenity at last - or so she thought.
I AM MONSTER. Director: Shannon Lark
Vivienne's extraordinary fetishism has taken her to a new level. She gets her kicks by violating the dead in a hospital morgue. Tonight, however, Vivienne meets Jason, a fresh body who has some ideas of his own.
ONE PLEASE. Director: Jesse Burks
Mommy and Daddy love you...very much.
COLERA. Director: Aritz Moreno
Cholera: Path. Acute, infectious disease, often epidemic and very serious.
THE MARIONETTE. Director: Jack Lindley
A chilling fairytale about the world's greatest dancer whom came from gruesome beginnings.
INVOCATION. Director: Robert Morgan
A short horror film about the dangers of stop-motion animation.
THE STOMACH. Director: Ben Steiner
Frank's had enough. A spirit medium whose unique and grotesque method of channelling the dead is putting his own health at risk, he wants out. But others, in this world and the next, have plans of their own.
REVULVA. Director: Jack Delaney
A girl is getting messy playing strip poker with a bunch of lecherous dudes. They ogle her as she begins to strip off, but she turns the tables on them... Violently.
My top 5 out of these are as follows:
1- I am Monster. I was both disgusted and aroused, all at the same time!
2- Box Room. Disturbing and fucked up! That's all I need to say.
3- One Please. A very clever short with a cameo from Michael Berryman.
4- Invocation. Stop-motion horror is simply fantastic. Morgan delivers every time.
5- ReVulva. This needs to be made into a feature! Enough said.
After the shorts it was back to the features and the penultimate film of the evening, The Canal.
The movie follows film archivist David (Rupert Evans), wife Alice (Hannah Hoekstra), their son and their seemingly perfect lives together. Shortly after discovering that his house was the setting for a brutal murder in 1902 he becomes progressively more unsettled and unhinged, as he begins to believe that a spectral presence is in his house. To make matters worse, David's life is soon turned upside down when he catches his wife cheating.
This Irish horror crosses in between the psychological and supernatural realm with stunning effect and keeps you second guessing everything you see on screen.
The acting is engaging and believable from all the cast. The SFX are very effective and creepy as hell, as is the score. All of that, mixed with the superb story telling from writer / director Ivan Kavanagh, creates a perfect horror film that will stay with you for days after watching it.
I'm not ashamed to admit that The Canal had me freaked out a number of times and that doesn't happen very often! This is my number 1 pick for scariest and best movie of the Festival.
The Canal gets 5 Stars
Check out the Q&A with director Ivan Kavanagh and producer Anne Marie Naughton and the trailer below that...
The final film of the day was an 80's classic, StageFright: Aquarius, aka Deliria.
A group of auditioned stage actors rehearse for an upcoming musical production. While locking themselves in the theatre for rehearsal, not knowing that an escaped psychopath sneaked into the theatre with them.
StageFright was a first time watch for me and I thoroughly enjoyed the Italian slasher.
Check out the trailer below...
That's day 3 done. Stay tuned for day 4...

Mayhem Horror Film Festival 2014 (Part 1): Day 1 & 2
This year marked the 10th birthday of Nottingham's (UK) Mayhem Horror Film Festival and the first time for me attending the whole of the four day event. I ordered an early bird weekend pass before any of the films were announced and waited for the end of October to arrive with intrepid anticipation!
Arriving at the Broadway Cinema I was welcomed with a friendly smile and a hello from all the staff and I sat down with some friends that I originally met through my Facebook group UK Horror Fans United. Next to me in the picture below is Jonathan who also has a blog that you can check out here - Jonny's Cult Films.
DAY 1: Thursday 30th October
The festival officially kicked of at 7pm with an introduction (see video below) by three members of Astron-6 (the team behind Father's Day, Manborg and Bio-cop), Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy and Conor Sweeney. On the agenda was an Astron-6 Shorts Showcase which included Bio-Cop, Goreblade, Inferno of the Dead, Lazer Ghost 2, Cool Guys, Breaking Santa.
You can check out some of their short films and other cool stuff on their YouTube Channel HERE.
Here's Inferno of the Dead for you to watch...
The first feature length film of the festival was The Editor, again from the Astron-6 team.
My signed poster!
The Editor is a Giallo inspired romp about a film editor, once the best in the business until an accident caused him to become an amputee, who gets caught up in murder as one by one, his co-workers are killed.
The film is filled with some great nods to Fulci, Cavara, Argento, has a ridiculous amount of gratuitous nudity and hilarious misogyny that is only topped by the chaotic violence. It's also a very beautiful looking film too with a fantastic score that includes music from Claudio Simonetti (Suspiria, Tenebrae, Demons).
Written by (and starring) Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy and Conor Sweeney, directed by Brooks and Kennedy, every performance is on point and the comedy timing is perfect and that's something that Astron-6 have seemed to mastered in a short space of time.
The cast includes Paz de la Huerta, Samantha Hill, Laurence R. Harvey, Sheila Campbell, Udo Kier, Tristan Risk, and Dan Bern.
If you thought Father's Day and Manborg are good then this will blow you away as it's Astron-6's best film, so far!
The Editor gets 5 Stars
Here's the question and answer session after the screening...
Just to rub it in a bit for fellow Astron-6 fans, here I am with the boys themselves...
From left to right: Manborg, erm, I mean Matthew Kennedy, Me of course, Conor Sweeney & Adam Brooks
Check out the trailer for The Editor...
The final film of the night was Let Us Prey.
Pollyanna McIntosh, star of The Woman, plays a rookie police officer. On her first night shift in a small town police station she encounters a mystifying stranger. The station soon becomes busy with miscreants locked up in the cells.
The stranger, played by Liam Cunningham who gives a stellar performance, has an adverse affect on everyone in the police station and it soon becomes apparent that this man is not of this world. Is he here to carry out God's judgement? Is he the devil doing the devil's work? Or is his purpose higher than both, but equally unsettling?
This film is full of great performances, violence, mystery and dread. With a well written story by David Cairns and Fiona Watson and great direction by Brian O'Malley, it keeps you interested from start to finish.
Let Us Prey gets 4 Stars
Here's the trailer for Let Us Prey...
With a fantastic start to the festival, I was looking forward to and raring to start the next day.
DAY 2: Friday 31th October
Halloween, what a perfect way to spend it at a horror film festival! There were a few people that dressed up, including myself and two friends Angi and Martyn. We met up in Hooters, as you do, for drinks before day two of Mayhem began.
Friday kicked off with what could only be described as a mind fuck of a film! The movie in question was James Ward Byrkit's Coherence.
This film is more of a Sci-Fi Thriller, but it still delivered some great moments of tension and fright. The story follows a group of friends that gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.
Straight from the word go, things seem to be strange as the group go about their evening. When a power cut hits and two of the group head out to find a house with power the situation really becomes bizarre and unnerving.
The events that follow have all involved questioning their own existence and the world as they know it. Confusion on all parts lead to some questionable behaviour and mind blowing realities.
The cast included Emily Baldoni, Maury Sterling, Nicholas Brendon, Elizabeth Gracen, Alex Manugian, Lauren Maher, Hugo Armstrong and Lorene Scafaria. They all gave natural and very believable performances.
Coherence gets 4 Stars
Check oit the trailer below...
Next on the agenda was 2014's The Town That Dreaded Sundown which is directed by American Horror Story's Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.
Before I go any further I have to point out that this is NOT a remake or even a re-imagining. It is in fact a sequel of sorts and can be held as a stand alone film.
A high school student, Jami (Addison Timlin) witnesses the start of what leads to a number of murders. Decades after a masked serial killer terrorised the small town of Texarkana and a film, the original The Town That Dreaded Sundown from 1976 was made, it seems as though there could be a copy cat on the loose.
As Jami starts to investigate what's going on while more murders are happening, she uncovers some disturbing truths.
Although this is a decent addition to the slasher sub-genre, I personally thought it was the weakest movie of the festival. That said, I still enjoyed it. It reminded me of Scream in certain places when the characters in the film often refereed the original movie. If you want some light horror that's very watchable then you'll enjoy it.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown gets 3 Stars
Watch the tralier here...
Friday came to an end with a fantastic treat that also carried on the "Texas" theme. I have seen it so many times over the years, but getting to see it on the big screen was simply glorious. I'm talking about Tobe Hooper's 1974 seminal masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Of course, this movie needs no explanation and should be high on anyone's list as one of the best horror films ever made. Seeing Hooper's vivid and brutal imagery on the big screen made for an extremely intense viewing. The loud screams of Marilyn Burns and the revving of Leatherface's chainsaw through the surround sound system of the theatre made it even more terrifying. With this year being it's 40th anniversary, this classic film still stands tall and proud after all these years and can easily give any new horror movie a run for it's money. I've even pre-ordered the 40th anniversary bluray steelbook.
Here the 40th anniversary trailer...
So that's my review of days 1 and 2 of Mayhem Horror Film Festival. Over the course of the next week I will post day 3, 4 and then a special article on "10 Years of Mayhem" where I interview the organisers of the event, so keep your eyes out for those.

Countdown to Halloween: Top 10 Remakes (2000 to Present)
This year's countdown to Halloween is remakes. A touchy subject for some, but I always ignore the people on the "We hate remakes bandwagon." The rules were as follows: This list only includes films that were released in the year 2000 up till the present time. As always it's been a public vote decided by YOU, the fans. The actual countdown started on my the Maven's Movie Vault of Horror Facebook page, but today on Halloween, as well as the whole list, the number spot is revealed. So let's begin...
Number 10 - THE RING (2002)
This is an English language remake of Hideo Nakata's 1998 original Japanese film "Ringu." Naomi Watts stars as Rachel Keller who is a journalist investigating a videotape that may have killed four teenagers (including her niece).
There is an urban legend about this tape: the viewer will die seven days after watching it. If the legend is correct, Rachel will have to run against time to save her son's and her own life.
Number 9 - THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2003)
We all know the story right?
After picking up a traumatised young hitchhiker, five friends find themselves stalked and hunted by a deformed chainsaw-wielding killer and his family of equally psychopathic killers. And Jessica Biel provides the eye candy!
I've actually just watched the original on the big screen at Mayhem Horror Film Festival and it still stands up to this day against any of it's modern counterparts and genre flicks.
Number 8 - LET ME IN (2010)
Another English language remake. This time based on the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In. The Hammer Film Production was nearly scene for scene, word for word, the same as the original but still made for an interesting watch. The young Chloë Grace Moretz played the role of the vampire and gave a great performance.
In Los Alamos, New Mexico, the twelve year-old Owen is a lonely and outcast boy bullied in school by Kenny and two other classmates; at home, Owen dreams of avenging himself against the trio of bullies. He befriends his twelve-year-old next door neighbour, Abby, who only appears during the night in the playground of their building. Meanwhile, Abby's father is a wanted serial-killer who drains the blood of his victims to supply Abby, who is actually an ancient vampire. Abby advises Owen to fight Kenny; however, soon he discovers that she is a vampire, and he feels fear and love for the girl. Meanwhile a police officer is investigating the murder cases, believing that it is a satanic cult.
Number 7 - MY BLOODY VALENTINE [3D] (2009)
With the screenplay written by Todd Farmer (Jason X), this remake is based on Stephen A. Miller's original 1981 story. The film stars Supernatural's Jensen Ackles.
Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, however, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one will believes he's innocent.
Number 6 - MANIAC (2012)
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt.
This remake of the 1980 flick of the same name stars Elijah Wood as Frank, who is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.
As their friendship develops and Frank's obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
The great performance from Wood is equalled by the fantastic score.
Number 5 - HALLOWEEN (2007)
Rob Zombie's brutal take on Halloween has caused more arguments (especially on Facebook) within the horror community than any other remake!
You all know the story right?!!! Michael Myers, Laurie Strode, Dr. Samuel Loomis etc etc. I won't insult you.
Number 4 - THE CRAZIES (2010)
This is a remake of George A. Romero 1973 original.
As a toxin begins to turn the residents of Ogden Marsh, Iowa into violent psychopaths, sheriff David Dutton tries to make sense of the situation while he, his wife, and two other unaffected townspeople band together in a fight for survival.
Number 3 - THE HILLS HAVE EYES (2006)
Haute tension (High Tension aka Switchblade Romance) director Alexandre Aja remade Wes Craven's 1977 classic.
A suburban American family is being stalked by a group of psychotic people who live in the desert, far away from civilisation.
Number 2 - DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004)
George A. Romero's 1978 uber classic get the overhaul from Zack Snyder. I'm actually surprised this isn't number 1!
A nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, a salesman, and other survivors of a worldwide plague that is producing aggressive, flesh-eating zombies, take refuge in a mega Midwestern shopping mall.
Number 1 - EVIL DEAD (2013)
Five friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. The evil presence possesses them until only one is left to fight for survival.
Produced by original director and leading man, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, the Fede Alvarez directed remake takes first place. It's pays homage to the classic original and boasts some of the best practical FX in horror film history!
What are your thoughts? Agree or not, let me know.
Thank you again to the voters that took part on Facebook. I couldn't and wouldn't do these top 10s without you.

See No Evil 2 (2014) DVD Review
When the announcement came in over the Internet that See No Evil 2 would be going into production there were two reasons why I was very interested in seeing how this project progressed and seeing the finished product. You all should know by now that I'm a huge fan and supporter of The Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska, so naturally when they got the directing gig I was excited. When Danielle Harris and Katharine Isabelle were added to cast that excitement become somewhat of a school boy joy (that only men can understand!). Of course, Glenn Jacobs ("Kane" WWE Superstar) reprised his role as the killing machine Jacob Goodnight.
I pre-ordered the DVD as it's only available on that format for the UK/European market. The Bluray available is region A. Anyway, expecting it on it's release date, Monday 20th October (tomorrow), it arrived this afternoon (along with Slipknot's latest album which is released tomorrow also)! I love Amazon! You'll find links below as to where you can get your hands on them. Needless to say, I whacked it straight in the player to watch it.
The open credits are cool and are made even more so with a quick cameo from the twins so keep your eye out for that. The set up, Jacob Goodnight and his victims are being transported to the local morgue so the sequel follows directly on from the first film. While they're in transit we're introduced to the staff at the morgue. Our leading lady Danielle Harris plays the role of Amy who's about to finish work. Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) and wheelchair bound Holden (Michael Eklund) are on the graveyard shift. But with all the dead bodies that are about to arrive, Amy decides to stay and help out despite the fact that it's her birthday and she has her friends to meet.
Enter Amy's best friend Tamara played by the amazing Katharine Isabelle (who pretty much steals the show for nearly half the movie), Amy's brother Will (Greyston Holt), Kayla (Chelan Simmons) and Carter (Lee Majdoub). They bring the birthday party to Amy as she's gotta work late, and this is where the fun begins. This fun is provided by Tamara who's a little drunk and a lot hot!
Katharine Isabelle? Over my dead body? Yes please!
Besides the fact that both Isabelle and Harris are two of my favourite modern day Scream Queens and yes they're both fucking hot as hell, Isabelle has been great in her previous films, namely Ginger Snaps and American Mary (written and directed by Jen and Sylvia), so I always look forward to seeing her perform. Now Harris, for me, has been up and down with her performances throughout her career. My theory is that she responds to strong directors and delivers better performances through those certain directors. I thought her best work came by way of both Rob Zombie's Halloween films.
Being a big fan of the twins' work and being that I felt Isabelle gave her best with the fantastic execution of Mary Mason in American Mary, I was looking forward to how Harris responded to Jen and Sylvia's guidance. I'd like to say I was surprised, but deep down I knew that Danielle Harris would delivery. Yes, she definitely benefited from working with the Soskas and they brought the best out of her with Harris giving her best acting to date. She provided a very solid foundation for the movie being the lead.
Back to the fun and the birthday party in the morgue. Actually, that sounds like a cool idea for my birthday next year, but I digress. Things get a little heated between Amy and her Brother, Tamara is getting frisky with Goodnight's dead body as well as her boyfriend's. One thing leads to another, while Tamara and Carter go at it on a table next to the killer's body, Mr Goodnight comes back to life and the slashing, stabbing, murdering violence begins!
The most tense scene of the film, hero and villain come face to face
My main concern or negative point I picked up on was that the first third of the film was a little week and this was down to the writing by Nathan Brookes and Bobby Lee Darby. It was a little predictable. I couldn't help but think that this would've been a near perfect slasher flick if Jen and Sylvia Soska wrote the script too, but as the movie progressed it got better. In fact, the last third did make up for the beginning and finished very strong with a couple of surprises.
The acting was solid throughout by the supporting cast and the standout performance came from Danielle Harris followed closely by Katharine Isabelle. Glenn Jacobs gave a good performance as Goodnight and out did himself from the previous film. He's also developed a serious disliking of doors which I found amusing. We do get a few flashbacks from this film's predecessor just to remind us of what Jacob went through.
The SFX are a good mix of practical FX which are complemented by only a small use of CGI. The score is cool and gives good support to the more tense scenes. But the best thing about this movie is the direction. Jen and Sylvia bring to life what should now be a serious contender in villain category. I feel that if another sequel is made, Jacob Goodnight will concrete his position as a horror killer icon. Again, it's the Soska's vision and work ethic that bring the best out of every performance, scene and even the script which makes See No Evil 2 is great and enjoyable watch which far surpasses the first film.
The special features on the DVD include:
TWISTED TWINS
This gives us a nice little insight into the lives and work ethic of the twins and the positive affect they have on those they work with. Plus there's some really cool photos of Jen and Sylvia from their younger days.
DISSECTING THE KILLS

The Tour (Short Film, 2014) Review
This short horror film has been doing the rounds at this year's festivals. Written, directed, edited and produced by both Alex Mathieson and Damon Rickard, The Tour stars Scream Queens Jessica Cameron and Heather Dorff as a couple of tourists who are checking out the sites around England.
The setting for the film is Darkmoor Manor, a creepy house with a history steeped in haunted legend. The house is closed to the public, but Morgan (Cameron) and Cassie (Dorff) get friendly with the tour guide, Tom (Tom Gordon), who gets them into the house later that night.
This is where the fun and games begin, but just when you think it's going to get predictable, a nice twist hits. The twist doesn't strike till after the girls realise that Tom and the house aren't what they thought they would be.
We're treated to a ear shattering scream from Jessica Cameron and some simple yet effective FX and story telling. This is the first outing into film making for Mathieson and Rickard and they should be proud of what they have made here. The creepy feel and atmosphere make for a very enjoyable watch.
The Tour gets 3 Stars

Lesson of Evil (2012) Review
I have to admit, I've only seen a handful of Takashi Miike's films. But what I have seen have been excellent. So when I got the opportunity to get my hands a screener of the Lesson of Evil (based on the novel by Yûsuke Kishi) from Third Window Films I jumped on it.
Ichi the Killer, 13 Assassins and Audition are what I have seen. Audition was simply mesmerising and Lesson of Evil is no different.
Hideaki Itô plays the popular and extremely likeable Hasumi, a high school teacher that seems to have the kids best interests at heart. All he wants to do is crack down on the misbehaviour of exam cheating pupils and school bullies.
He has a real connection with the kids and puts it too good use, but it's not long before he steps over the line off the student / teacher relationship when he starts to manipulate not only child, but his fellow teachers.
After a student goes missing and a teacher has committed suicide, a small group of the children start to suspect something. However, Hasumi is still his charming self, despite visions / dreams of his dark past, and bonds an unhealthy relationship with Miya (Erina Mizuno) who's not as innocent as she looks.
Hideaki Itô is absolutely fantastic in the lead role. Even when he's up to no good he's still so damn likeable and attains an almost anti-hero status even though he's through and through a villain! By the end of the film I found myself kind of routing him. That's not to say I didn't feel for what the school children were going through towards the end.
The last 40 minutes or so is a, well, BLOODBATH would be the correct term for what happens as he stalks a group of kids round an otherwise empty school building. Showing no emotion, expect for a twisted smile, Hasumi goes from room to room with a high powered shotgun and relentlessly dishes out what he believes is justice.
Much like Audition, this film has a slow buildup to the berserker of a finale. But this was no negative thing as I found myself enveloped in rich story telling from Takashi Miike, as both director and screenwriter, as we get to know the characters and their motivations. We also get a bit of back story so we can get into the mind of Hasumi. I've said it already, but I'll say it again, Hideaki Itô is fantastic as the charismatic teacher. His enthralling performance gave way to some great and very natural performances from the wealth of young talent throughout the movie. They gave a real sense of dread, making you empathise with them while being frighteningly pursued by an equally lovable killer!
I also found the mix of Norse mythology an interesting addition to an otherwise traditionally modern Japanese film. Hasumi would often be visited by two ravens which he believes to be Odin's pets, Huginn and Muninn. If that wasn't enough, the film also has the orignal "Mack the Knife" (Die Moritat von Mackie Messer) playing through it, which adds both a humorous and unsettling tone depending on the scene it's played in and sometimes even both. The song also changes as the film goes on, in to it's more modern jazz versions, which could symbolise Hasumi's growth from serial killer to mass murderer.
Takashi Miike's direction is able to put the viewer in a hypnotised state, not just in keeping your eyes glued to the screen, but also in stirring up a thought process in your mind's eye. This works for both simple dialogue scenes and disturbing scenes. With the addition of Lesson of Evil, Takashi Miike is fast becoming one of my favourite directors.
LESSON OF EVIL IS DISTURBINGLY ALLURING, DELIVERS ENGAGING PERFORMANCES & IS A PHENOMENAL PIECE OF FILM MAKING
Lesson of Evil gets 5 Stars
My fellow UK/European residents can pre-order a copy of the UNCUT Bluray here and the DVD here, which both come with a 2 hour long Making Of featurette. It is available in the US, but as far as I'm aware it's not an uncut version. If I'm wrong about that then please correct me.

Yah I don't know which is worse, the people that create these emails or the one's that want to reap the benefit for doing nothing. make a quick buck.
It just borders on outrageous Pamela. Both parties are idiots!
There is one place for this – the trash can!
This particular message is very innovative and seems like a well researched one- with UN meetings, Ban Ki moon and so on. I mean, may have been a knowledgeable chap or chappie for that matter.
The person really took their time and added some name dropping to sweeten the bait.
I have no time for such thieving people. I don't believe in harvesting what I never sowed. He or she should look for better things to do with their time.
Nne odiro gi egwu? It's just a shame that people will not sit and seek honest living but would rather dabble into such things bother the scammer and the scammed person. They are both plain greedy.
Those emails do make me laugh also. Beyond it just being the greedy who fall for those kind of scams though, it's also the desperate (heavily in debt for financial ones, deeply lonely if dating ones) & the vulnerable (either old people who aren't that tech savvy & fall for the "Calling from Windows about your PC. It has a virus" scams or people with mental illnesses etc). So I have mixed emotions about them I guess. Part amusement & part frustration/anger.
That's just so sad and unfair really. Especially taking advantage of disadvantage people.
I sometimes receive those in my spam folder. I sometimes reply back with a salty, 'fu** off.' (Pardon the profanity).
I can quite imagine your annoyance.
The bots are funny. One told me once my writing had gotten bad. Then kindly offered me a solution to make it better LOL.
Silly nonsense! I really wonder what they take people for?
I agree, how in the world do you fall for something that is as old as time itself? But they do and it ruins them. Poor believing souls.
Trapped by their own greed and foolishness.
A similar blog was posted either on LinkedIn or beBee. I can't believe people would fall for this garbage. This is why I love the delete button.
Very useful, this delete buttons. It's really amazing that people do fall for such trash.
LoL!! Ever since she told me that I've been on the lookout for one.
Honestly, when I read your post my interest in one was roused.
Those scam mails amuse me more than they annoy me. I wonder how anyone can fall for such long-winded fairy tales.
I agree with you, it is pure greed that removes the spirit of discernment from one who seeks to reap from where they did not sow. That is the only way one can fall for such nonsense, or does money now grow on trees?
I wonder o. If money grows on trees then it missed my backyard. Very long winding amusing letters.
Those dollar signs can make some act like fools and that is why scammers still exist.
They too are fools and crooks to be taken in by promises of harvest where they didn't sow.
I really like this guy. He turns the scam around and has me laughing!
I feel so sad for people that fall for things like this.
When you stop to think about it though, this is a lesson that we each have to learn. In this lifetime they are learning what it is like to be a victim. It is difficult sometimes but we cannot judge a path we do not walk. We can be there to help and support if we can but everyone must walk their path alone.
I really wonder how they get caught up in this but I have no idea what kind of stuff they pass through.

Lloyds Banking Group colleagues across Cardiff supported World Mental Health Day (10th October) by donating an hour of their time to support positive mental health.
Cardiff colleagues gave up an hour of their day to help raise awareness about mental health or take part in activities, including volunteering, fundraising, and learning about mental health.
13 colleagues across Cardiff volunteered an hour of their time to provide support to local Mental Health UK service centres. The centres were invited to attend Lloyds Banking Group St Williams House to receive guidance and mentoring from Lloyds Banking Group colleagues to develop their skillsets. The colleagues provided advice on topics such as time management, leadership and digital skills.
"World Mental Health Day was a great way for Lloyds Banking Group colleagues to learn more about mental health and help raise awareness and funds. Through 'Power of an Hour', colleagues donated an hour of their time in support of mental health, from volunteering and sharing skills with local Mental Health UK service centres across Cardiff to fundraising and proactively learning about the subject, helping us deliver on our commitment to help Britain prosper".
"It was fantastic to have the support of Lloyds Banking Group colleagues volunteering at our Mental Health UK service centres across Cardiff. Donating just an hour of your time to create awareness about mental health or share your skills in your local community really does make a difference and collectively, creates a huge impact".
The Power of an Hour is just one of the many ways the Group aims to break down the stigmas associated with mental health issues. It is also taking the lead on promoting positive mental health within the workplace, enabling colleagues to recognise the signs of poor mental health and feel confident to support customers, their communities and each other.
The Group is also supporting communities through its charity partnership with Mental Health UK. Colleagues have felt so passionately about the cause that they have raised £3million through fundraising in 2017 alone – exceeding the target set out by the partnership. This fundraising will create a pioneering service called Mental Health and Money Advice, launching later this year. The service will provide support for people experiencing both mental health and money problems.


Practicing good oral hygiene means maintaining your child's smile by visiting the dentist regularly and taking care of your son or daughter's teeth and gums between checkups. Our practice wants to make sure your child gets the most out of office visits, and that his or her teeth stay healthy for life!
We'll work with you to provide complete dental care, and show you how to maintain your youngster's smile at home with the right dental products for you and your family.
Visiting our office every six months gives you and your child the chance to ask the doctor any questions you may have about your family's oral health. Checkups are also a great way to find out about new treatments that may benefit your little one's smile.
From toothpaste and mouthwash to toothbrushes and dental floss, it's essential to choose the right products. Keep in mind that when you're looking for a new toothpaste or toothbrush, be sure to choose one that has been approved by the Canadian Dental Association (CDA).
We can also help by recommending certain dental products for use at home.
Did you know that at birth, people already have 20 primary (baby) teeth that begin erupting after six months, and that by age 21 there are generally no more primary teeth and all permanent teeth have erupted?


Together as a global community, we have made incredible inroads to end extreme poverty and inequality by acknowledging that it's our global responsibility. Climate change, which is inherently biased against those who are already impacted by inequality, is undoing that.
When Vai was young, she spent two days trapped in a tree without food when the floods came. But this time, she and her daughter nine-year-old Sen were ready.
On the 30th of November 2018 thousands of students worldwide left their schools to strike climate change inaction from their governments. It was a moment of true unity amongst the youth of society, a moment that signified a shared demand for action. But why climate change?
How can we help kids have a say in their future when climate change is a constant threat?
It's a sad fact that the world's poorest children, who have contributed the least to climate change, are the worst affected by it.
Plan international's Imogen Wilson recently traveled to Timor-Leste and saw the devestating impact drought was having on its people.
El Niño is devastating Ethiopia – and girls are falling behind.
Right now, throughout the world, children are feeling the impacts of climate change.
The effects of El Niño have devastated parts of Africa, with severe drought causing widespread food shortages and destroying livelihoods.
There's a humanitarian disaster unfolding that isn't making headlines. El Niño, the most severe weather phenomenon in history, is driving millions of people into debt, hunger and poverty.

According to the warning:

It seems that you save the framework under the local folder User/runner/Library/Developer/Xcode/De instead of the project folder. Obviously this folder has not been added to our repo, so when we execute the build on the hosted agent, the files we need do not exist in that folder.
To resolve this issue, we need copied the .framework folder over to project/solution, then set the correct FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS.

By now you have likely all heard about the terrible shooting in Texas. A man entered a church and killed 26 people, wounding another 20 or so. How do we make sense of such evil? Why would Jesus, the sovereign King of the universe, allow his people to be so afflicted? I've even heard some people reacting in anger against prayer. Prayer, they say, did nothing to prevent or stop this slaughter. It's useless.
On the contrary, as Pastor Hans Feine has written, for those believing men, women, and children who lost their lives, their greatest prayer and hope has been answered. Jesus has, indeed, "delivered them from evil" and today they are with him in paradise. Sorrow and pain is ours, not theirs. They will never know suffering again and they are now and will forever be with Jesus, feasting on the joys of heaven. And one day, Christ will raise them up in their bodies, never to die again.
This does not, of course, mean that God created the wicked and murderous desire that led Devin Kelly to do what he did. Evil is our creation, not God's. But it does mean that what Kelly planned for evil, God used to the utter good of those who love him. In this way, the violent death of the Christian always points back to the cross of Christ where God the Son gave himself over to the murderous hatred of his enemies. God channeled the evil of the human heart toward himself, and endured the fullness of it, in order to provide the remedy. By his shed blood, God forgives sin, cleanses hearts, renews minds, and draws sinners from death to life. Jesus endured evil so that evil might be crushed and destroyed in his death. And all who believe might live.
Therefore, those Christians who suffered and died as a consequence of the hatred of one man, now live as the consequence of the suffering and death of the One Man, Jesus Christ.
And yet, while Jesus' work was finished on the cross, it is not yet consummated. That is, Jesus in his life death and resurrection, has done all the work required to take away guilt, remove the consequences of sin, cleanse the heart, undo death, and save to the uttermost all who turn to him, but we live in an "in between" era. God has not yet put an end to all wickedness.
Because he is still saving the wicked. He is still bringing sinners to repentance and faith and salvation. Were he, today, to put an utter end to evil, forever stamping out the sort of wickedness on display in Texas, it would also mean that the time of his mercy had come to an end. It would mean no more long-suffering and patience. It would mean all those unbelievers for whom we pray, would be immediately subject to judgment and eternally condemned.
No, it is good that God is patient with sinners, not wishing any to perish (that is, suffer eternal torment). But his patience does, indeed, mean that the evil and suffering caused by human sin continues.
The unique thing about the Christian faith is that Christians are expressly told, by Jesus himself, to expect just this sort of evil. Speaking of the last days, Jesus says: "They will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake"(Matt 24:9). Until Jesus returns, we are called to suffer. It has always been so. Paul writes: "we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh"(1 Cor 4:11). In a world, fallen into sin and in rebellion against God, Christians must ever be subject to suffering; the mortification of our own sinful desires, the loss and relinquishing of things we love in the world, and the deadly attacks of the Enemy. And yet, by our lives and in our deaths, Jesus, residing in us, bears witness to the Gospel. Your faithful witness, by word and deed, in the face of evil and suffering and loss, is one means by which God drives you further into the arms of Christ, bears witness to his Son, gives mercy to the undeserving, and brings sinners to salvation.
Jesus does not promise to remove our suffering here and now, but to overcome it (John 16:33). He does that first by remaining with us, dwelling in our hearts, pouring his love and comfort into our souls as we walk though this life so that, increasingly, he becomes our great treasure here on earth. Then, second, he takes those who die in faith to be with him, to experience innumerable joys of heaven and await the coming of his kingdom. And, finally, in the end, he rejoins soul to body, raising the dead when he returns and giving them life eternal here on a restored and renewed earth where he will reign forever. Our hope is a future hope in a coming savior. Meanwhile we live like aliens and strangers here, trusting in a Lord we do not see, living for a kingdom that has yet to come, praying for ourselves and our neighbors, pleading with those who do not believe to repent and turn to Christ, and by our lives and deaths bearing witness to him and his faithfulness to all who believe.

The Erudite Gorilla
Reviews, ruminations, and (occasional) ramblings
Lost Girl Reviews: Season 4, Episode 13
Episode 13: Dark Horse
This one starts only minutes after last episode ended, with Bo a tad pissed off at Rainer after being betrayed by his general, Rosette, and watching her jump into a fire. Rainer says he didn't know Rosette had turned against him and wonders how powerful Bo's father really is. Bo says even the Blood King is afraid, which freaks Rainer out a bit. They pledge to fight her father together, no matter what, but the hand mark on Bo's upper chest starts glowing and she almost collapses in pain. At the Dal, Trick freaks out when he sees Bo and blames Rainer. The two of them start up their old argument about Rainer rebelling against Trick because he forced a peace between Light and Dark. Bo tells them to shut the hell up and mentions the Pyrripus and her father, which gets Trick's attention. Bo tells him about meeting the Women of the Horse last episode and that they basically opened a portal to Hel for her father to return. Bo says she can feel him trying to bring out her dark side, the Dark Queen, to facilitate his escape from Hel.
Elsewhere, Massimo is digging a grave as Lauren watches, tied to a fence post. Massimo is really losing his shit after swallowing the Origin Seed last episode. Lauren says that much power is too much for any human, but Massimo is still hung up on impressing his mother (Evony, the Morrigan) and decides the best way to do that is to bring her Bo's head. At the Dal, Bo tries to get answers from Trick about her parentage. He mentions handing Aife (Bo's mother) over to the Dark after she tried to break the truce. Aife was tortured for centuries in the Dark dungeons, but her succubus blood was passed on to Bo, along with something from her father that allows her to use her powers to resurrect people. Rainer thinks that power would be great on a battlefield, but Trick points out it could be used to enslave people as well. I'm not clear on how much of those powers come from Bo's father; Aife was shown to be able to revive people with her succubus powers, and enslave people as well. Maybe it's the intensity that Bo gets from her dad's side, like when she knocked out a whole room full of people. Massimo comes in and says he has Lauren and wants Bo in exchange.
At the Morrigan's place, Kenzi is looking for Lauren but only finds a mess, including some blood and a weird painting of a bunch of revelers that has one figure who looks a lot like Bo. Dyson finds Kenzi, who tells him about Lauren being gone. Evony strolls in and says she and Lauren banged (which freaks Kenzi out a bit), and Dyson quickly discern that she's human. Kenzi punches her and Evony explains that her transformation is due to Lauren and "her miracle snatch". She tells them Massimo is her son and wants her approval. She says he's probably hiding in the Dark archives, which is where he learned all his Druidic secrets.
At the Dal, Massimo uses some weird thunder-beast power to knock Trick and Rainer on their asses, then kicks the shit out of Bo. He tosses her around, ending with a WWE move where he slams her through a table. Trick realizes Massimo is the one who stole the Origin Seed and he's ready to fight him, but Rainer says it's his right. Massimo breaks his neck pretty quickly, then gets an intense headache (because he absorbed Rainer's power of foresight when he killed him and it's overwhelming his brain) and takes off before he can finish Bo and Trick. Bo is crushed that Rainer is dead.
Bo wakes up at home, with Tamsin watching her. Tamsin says Trick drugged her, brought her home, then went to check the Light library. Bo is feeling shitty about her inability to help Hale, Rainer, or Lauren, but Tamsin tells her to quit whining and get her shit together. If she's the Chosen One, she should start acting like it. Bo drains some energy from Tamsin and says she tastes "happier"than she used to. Dyson and Kenzi come in and things get awkward, which Tamsin helpfully points out. Tamsin is stoked because Rainer promised his soul to her before he died, so she might be able to end her exile from Valhalla once she delivers it. Kenzi is reading another book with a prophecy in it (seriously, it seems like every book has some prophecy about Bo or her father, and none of them are the same) and gets Tamsin to translate something about the "daughter's heart" being needed to close the portal to Hel. Tamsin wonders if that means Bo will have to rip out her own heart and use it, and Kenzi says to keep it quiet until they can get Lauren back. After Tamsin leaves, Kenzi tears the page with the prophecy out of the book.
Bo tells Dyson her father can wait and that Lauren is top priority. She asks Dyson for a favour and he thinks he's getting lucky, but Bo mentions she already fed off Tamsin, which surprises him. Bo wants Dyson to witness her destroying her contract with the Dark and becoming unaligned again. She tears it up, but Dyson isn't sure that'll take. He says everyone needs a purpose and that he's drifted his whole life, looking for a king to serve under. He says he'd rather serve under a Queen and pledges fealty (and love) to Bo, but she says she'd prefer him to fight with her instead of for her. Tamsin comes in and says they found some more information on the portal: it turns out to be at the "spiritual centre" where Bo and Rainer confronted Epona last episode. Beneath the centre, Bo and Dyson find the open portal (which we saw at the end of last episode) surrounded by bits of broken horse-themed crap. Three Revenants emerge from the portal and Bo drains them, which turns her eyes that evil shade of blue we've seen so many times.
Bo starts talking in the weird sepulchral voice she's used before, saying humans and Fae will all bow down to her. Dyson urges her to fight it, but she says it's too strong. He kisses her, which snaps her out of it (though she tells him to get some new material) and they prepare to fight the Revenants. At the Dal, the Morrigan is a bit wasted and putting the moves on Trick, who says she's not really his type, being a stone cold bitch and all. She says "bitch" is just a word men use for women who intimidate them (which is probably true in many cases) and that if Bo's father turns out to be who everyone thinks, they're all going to wind up dead anyway. Trick tries to think of a way to close the portal and Emmanuelle Vaugier gets to show off her French when she says: "Souvent une petite chose jette une grande ombre", which basically means "sometimes the smallest thing casts a big shadow". That gives Trick an idea and he and Evony head out to … well, I'm not sure what they're going to do, but it probably involves Massimo. Just for the record, if I was Trick, I'd have banged the shit out of Evony; she is damn hot in this scene.
At the horse temple, Dyson and Bo recover from the Revenant fight (which we didn't get to see) and wonder if they're up to fighting countless more. Bo says she feels stronger and Dyson points out she's channeling her father's power through the portal. She decides it's time to let loose, but says Lauren is her top priority. She asks Dyson to make sure no Revenants out of the temple and he says he and Tamsin can handle it. Yeah, holding back the armies of hell, no biggie. Bo asks him to keep Kenzi close and safe. I don't know why she wouldn't insist Kenzi be as far from the portal as possible. Bo puts on the necklace she got from Lauren and when Kenzi and Tamsin show up, Kenzi hugs her and gives her a sword, saying she'll do great. They leave to guard the portal and Bo gets ready to go after Massimo.
In the Dark archives, Massimo brags about being all-powerful and having Rainer's foresight. Lauren says "You are a psycho-loser with a brain full of shit that you don't even know how to use". Bo comes in ready to waste Massimo, but he tells her he's absorbed so many Fae powers (the Una Mens, Rainer, Hale) that he's unbeatable. He demonstrates by using Hale's siren power to blast Bo. At the temple, Kenzi looks at the page she tore from the book and mutters something about destiny. Back at the archives, Massimo is toying with Bo, knocking her around easily. She uses her succubus powers (boosted by the connection to the portal) but even that doesn't stop Massimo. She feels weak after draining him, which I assume means he actually stole some of her powers. Lauren says not to worry about her, as she learned to pick locks while observing Kenzi's Shadow Thief training.
Evony shows up and Bo puts a knife to her throat, which makes Massimo start freaking out. At the temple, Dyson and Tamsin kick the shit out of he Revenants who are pouring through the portal. Trick shows up with his bo-staff to help and says they need to concentrate on saving the future, not dwelling on the past. At the archives, Bo drains Evony and tells Massimo she can taste how his mother really feels about him … it's not good. He freaks and starts draining Evony, but Bo mentions that she learned to control her powers because of her friends, and that she can put chi back into people. But Massimo can't, so he'll probably kill his mother, whether he wants to or not. Massimo does finally manage to break the connection, but Evony keels over and he begs Bo to save her. Bo says someone will need to supply the chi and drains some from Massimo, then revives Evony. Bo is ready to slice Massimo up, but he reminds her that he can't be killed as long as he has the Twig of Zamora. Lauren sheds her manacles and grabs the Twig from Massimo's pocket, crumbling it into dust. Bo slaps Massimo around, then stabs him. She's freaked out afterward … understandable, since I think this is he first human she's ever killed.
At the temple, Dyson, Tamsin, and Trick fight an ever-increasing number of Revenants. Kenzi comes into the chamber and Dyson tells her to take off, but she says she's finally figured out her purpose in all this. Bo's heart is needed to close the portal and Kenzi is Bo's heart. Outside the archives, Lauren basically pledges herself to Bo, kind of like Dyson did but with less formality. Bo says the Fae will be coming for Lauren, since she knows how to turn them mortal, but Lauren doesn't seem too worried. Bo has to get to the portal, but Lauren says she's staying behind to look after Evony, since it's her fault Evony is human. Bo understands the need to protect humans, so she gives Lauren a big smooch before taking off.
At the temple, the fight rages on as Kenzi and Dyson have a drawn-out conversation. In the background, it looks like the Revenants are fighting each other instead of concentrating on the defenders, but I'm not sure why. I guess that explains why they haven't been overwhelmed yet. Kenzi says she's Bo's heart and has to be the one to close the portal. She says she can hitch a ride when Tamsin takes Rainer's soul to Valhalla and wait there for Bo to come rescue her. She figures she might even be reunited with Hale on the other side. Bo's father tries to break free, shaking the foundations of the temple and making the hand mark on Bo's chest glow again. Bo finds Kenzi's ring in her pocket (which Kenzi must've slipped in there when she hugged her) and realizes Kenzi's going to do something brave and crazy.
Kenzi heads for the portal (in extremely slow motion) and none of the Revenants try to stop her, even though she literally has a target on her ass. (her pants have a little bullseye/sniper sight thingy on one ass cheek.) Bo arrives just in time to exchange significant glances with Kenzi, but Dyson holds Bo back when she tries to stop her. Kenzi steps into the portal, which collapses instantly. All the Revenants keel over and Tamsin rushes to Kenzi's side, but she's already dead. Bo freaks out and Tamsin transforms to a Valkyrie and disappears with Kenzi's body. Later, Dyson finds Tamsin outside the gates of Valhalla. She's freaked out and says Kenzi is gone and Dyson can't let Bo find the second hell-shoe to go looking for her. Obviously Tamsin saw something that freaked her out, but she won't say what it was, so Dyson carries her away (and we see the gates of Valhalla are apparently in some shitty alley). Later still, we see Bo visiting Kenzi's grave (and learn that Rainer was buried at his old battlefield) and Bo tells Kenzi's gravestone that she needs her courage and strength, but that she's done being afraid. Bo says whoever is behind all the pain and loss in her life are the ones who should be afraid. But we'll have to wait until next season to see what she does about it.

Here we are on the 24th November, and still enjoying very warm sunshine throughout each day, although the evenings have now chilled off a little, and we used the van's central heating for the first time yesterday during the evening.
Our plan continues to work, and at the end of next week we will fly home directly to Manchester from here to spend Christmas with the kids and grandkids. This is the first time recently that Monarch Airlines have continued their direct flights to Manchester over the Winter period, and we have taken full advantage of this to book our flight in advance at just £29.99pp! Compare that to the £430 cost each way of shipping the motorhome and both of us here on the Santander ferry, and then you have to fuel it for the 600 mile trip from there to here as well.
This site has "bungalows" to rent at an average rate of €425 per calendar month on a long term basis. There are also many cheap alternatives in apartment accommodation to rent long term in some beautiful places such as Mojacar, San Jose or Cabo de Gata itself. I know of a beach front apartment at Cabo that is available right now at just €325 per month. Add to that the £30pp flights and car hire from €10 a day or even less with negotiation for long term hire, and a Winter in the sun is a cheap and viable option to living through it in the UK. Daytime temperatures continue at around 23 degrees at midday.
During the last week we have visited the city centre for lunch, (€6.40pp, 3 courses including a beer at a city centre Chinese restaurant), and also visited Bar Alba also for lunch at €9pp, also 3 courses including a beer, near to San Jose. After that we visited the marina at San Jose to reminisce about the time we used to own just such a boat before we landed ourselves with what turned out to be a very costly narrowboat experience. Enough said about that though.
The Real Cabo de Gata.
Today we again woke up to more stunning weather. It just goes on and on! We decided to take the scooter out through the Sierras, and along the coast road to Faro de Cabo de Gata - lighthouse to you and me. There is much evidence of beach wild camping on the road approaching the mountains.
Almeria Province is what some might describe as "blighted" by plastic greenhouses where the world's tomatoes are produced. If you take the trouble to get out into the Parque Natural proper though you are rewarded by the most stunning scenery, along with the very best beaches in Spain. A guide to the natural park can be found HERE.
Today's trip took us through the village of Cabo de Gata itself, before climbing up into the Sierras, where the road becomes narrower and steeper. The road to the lighthouse itself is good, with a high quality asphalt surface. You can choose to go further down the coast road from there, but this becomes dirt track, steep and narrow very quickly, and I personally would not recommend taking a vehicle other than an off road bike along there. The coast road would get you to San Jose, passing the deserted and spectacular beaches of Genoveses and Monsul first. As I have described before, Monsul is the movie location for the scene in the Indiana Jones film where Sean Connery opens an umbrella to scare a flock of gulls off the beach and into the path of a WW2 German fighter plane, which subsequently crashes into the mountain. (The birds were actually trained pigeons, which were later "converted" into gulls during editing).
Monsul and Genoveses beaches are best accessed from San Jose itself, using the main roads to get there first. The track to them is then still corrugated dirt from the roundabout on the outskirts of the village but is flat, unlike the way from Cabo.
The coastal track to San Jose winds its way up and over the headland in the distance.
We have now done more miles on the scooter in Spain than we have in the UK since we bought it to use with the motorhome this time last year. It is certainly a much more pleasant ride here than in the UK due to both the weather and the road conditions. Today's maximum temperature as I write, is around 24 degrees.

This is a Windows version of Flurry, the default screensaver in the Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar operating system. Originally created by Calum Robinson, and based on the Seraphim screensaver for Windows, it features colorful, smoke-like, randomly generated "flurries" that smoothly spread out from a central point on your screen. Multi-monitor support is available, allowing you to assign a new flurry on each monitor. Furthermore, you can choose between fives types of flurry, namely "classic", "RGB", "water", "fire" and "psychedelic", but you can also optionally use the Flurry Editor to create your own designs.
Double-click the file you downloaded to start the Flurry Screensaver file extractor.
Make sure the location matches the Windows folder on your hard drive, then click "Extract".
If you are told that "Administrator privilege is required to complete the task. Run again with administrator privilege?", click "Yes" to proceed. Then click "Yes", and click "Extract" again.
After extraction, your Windows folder will be opened. To ensure successful installation, scroll down the list to the Flurry screensaver file, right-click on it and select "Install".
Flurry should now be among your other screensavers in the Screen Saver Settings panel.
We have 1 file for "Flurry"
When I previewed the Flurry screen saver, it just nothing.
I was reluctant after I noticed this and other screensavers on here tested as having viruses according to some (but not all) anti-virus programs. I had my antivirus company (a reputable one) test the file. They assured me all the bad results were false positives. I can only vouch for this one. This screensaver does NOT contain any viruses whatsoever.
I wish more screensavers looked like this one. Simple, and dark background (doesn't light up the whole room when it's dark).
It's nice and pretty; rainbow.
It did not work on with my Windows 8. Locked up the screen.
Looks exactly like the mac Flurry screensaver but on a windows computer. Works great on Windows 10!
Nice and pretty screensaver, works on Windows 10.
one of the best screensavers ive known. smooth, and simple just how i like it.

ATK to Open Aircraft Commercial Centre of Excellence
Alvant Recognised at BEEA Awards
ATK is nearing completion of a facility which, they say, will allow for expanded production capabilities for commercial aircraft composite structures.
The Aircraft Commercial Centre of Excellence (ACCE) is in Clearfield, Utah, is being built to meet the demands of the commercial aerospace market and, ATK say, the new facility will serve as their headquarters for Aerospace Structures' commercial aircraft programs, supporting the manufacture of commercial airframes and engine components for the Airbus A350, and General Electric and Rolls-Royce engine programs.
ATK explain that their new 615,000 square foot manufacturing centre will increase their capability and capacity, creating a full spectrum engineering and manufacturing centre for commercial composite aircraft structures and components. The facility has been designed to meet the robust demands of the commercial aircraft marketplace with the capability of manufacturing more than 10,000 parts per month at rate production levels.
""Our aircraft composite business has grown substantially over the last several years and this new facility will take us to the next level,"" said Blake Larson, President of ATK Aerospace Systems Group. ""The ACCE facility will increase our capacity dramatically and enable us to grow our roles in commercial aircraft for both domestic and international markets.""
""This commercial aircraft facility is the foundation of ATK's commitment to meeting the accelerating global demand of composites on commercial aircraft,"" said Joy de Lisser, Vice President and General Manager of ATK Aerospace Structures Division. ""Locating the ACCE in Utah provided us the opportunity to co-locate our design, engineering and technical talent with our existing facilities. Utah has provided an excellent business environment.""
ATK say the facility will feature automated stiffener forming technology for both linear and radial airframe structures capable of producing 40,000 meters, or 25 miles of composite structures per month, large diameter autoclaves capable of curing parts in excess of 22 meters in length, engine case wrap capability and assembly, CNC machining, water jet capability, and automated ultrasonic and non-destructive inspection systems.
Construction is due for completion in July, 2011 and ATK will hold a grand opening in August to celebrate.
