Can't decide
Hi, i have been researching shell coats for a while now and i am having a new one for my birthday. i have looked at all the technologies and decided i was going for Polartec Neoshell over all the others (eVent, Gor-Tex etc....).
I have been deliberating over either the Rab Stretch Neo or the Marmot Zion.
I am a little confused as they both have the Polartec Neoshell but the Marmot is a soft shell and the Rab is a shell!!! I want a shell not a soft shell but as they are the same material i am a little confused.
Also the Rab has fewer (and in the wrong location IMHO) pockets compared to the Marmot which has more pockets which i prefer.
Has anyone got one of these two or had any experience of these???? Thanks
I've used both. They are the same fabric, but different versions of it in that the Marmot has a thin insulated backer to it which adds a little extra insulation in a 'soft shell sort of way'. The Rab is a more conventional waterproof jacket.
The Marmot is actually waterproof, I used it on a really wet day in the north Lakes without problems, but more of an alpine-orientated, high mountain shell than the Rab.
For mostly UK use I'd go for the Rab jacket to be honest. For more alpine and mixed snowsport use, the Marmot's nice, but you wouldn't really choose it for a typically wet UK mountain day unless it was sub-zero I think. You also save a little weight.
Does that make any sense? NeoShell's a nice fabric and breathes very well, but there's not that much of it out there. Canadian brand Westcomb has some option in NeoShell too and a lightweight jacket in development.

Thanks for that, i like to wear either a base layer or a fleece jumper so i think the Rab may be the way forward but the pocket locations annoys me as i like to put my hands in my pockets!!
I've had a look at Westcomb but i cant find a local stockist as i would like to try before you buy!! any ideas?
Jon, which would you recommend out of the two for walking in the UK, Ben Nevis, Snowdon being the most extreme.
Probably worth noting that what it's made of will probably make less difference in the field than the particular design and fit. So a jacket in the "ideal" fabric which is a bit short on you and has pockets in places you don't find comfortable will be a pain, while one in a marginally less breathable fabric that has the details right will be a good and trusty bit of kit.
I'd select by trying stuff on rather than narrowing it down to a particular fabric unless you come across what looks like a monster bargain online (and even then be prepared to send it back).

Aren't they really designed for climbing?
I wouldn't choose the Rab stretch Neo as a walking jacket and can't believe it's intended for that really.
A friend has one which he got very heavily discounted through working at Ellis Brigham . He let me try it on the other day. He had the medium which fit me widthways (I'm usually a Large, so is he) but was level with my trouser belt and sleeve reached over my fingertips.
Very short in the body (I often say this due to my torso length, but this seems even more so than other Rab offerings I've tried) and very long in the arm - even for me (and having a gibbon somewhere in my ancestry, I usually complain about jackets having short arms). Longer arms than my old Rab slipstream (sizeL) . Mate claimed he'd tried a large and it was no longer in the body - just wider.
Thanks for all the feedback.
I understand that the Rab may not be a 'walkers'shell but i want the helmet compatability as i do go climbing once every few months and i cant afford to get both for seperate activities so i want to "kill two birds with one stone".
I understand that there are other options avabile but from previous experience i dont like HyVent, Q2 technology because of the build of moisture inside and finally after recent research on the comparison of Gore-Tex to Polartec and eVent i am impressed with Polartec and chose this to take forward to find a shell. I understand that this narrows my search but i could spend months comparing different brands and models to find a shell.
Finally what shell would you recommend based on what i have said? Thanks
dunno - go to a whole stream of shops and try a bunch on in various sizes? Thats what I did.
Personally I'd get something in eVent seeing as the neoshell isn't in a walkers cut yet....
That means Rab or Montane or maybe Crux I guess
I'd seriously consider getting another one of these if I had to make the decision (which hopefully I won't for a few years)
the latest incarnation feels better than the old to me - my Father has one (I have a 3 year old) might need to size up with Montane - they are trim fitting.
Or even the Superfly XT
I plan on trying a load on but its not that simple as most shops only stock a few of each range. Go outdoors for instance only stocka couple of RAb shells and there are more than that.
So therefore i am trying to get an idea of the 'best' and then find that in my size. I dont know if this is actually possible!
No experience with the Zion, but I'm very impressed with my Rab Stretch Neo.
I've used it in temps from -15 dry and cold to +22°C in all day rain and it's amazing!
Best piece of kit I've spent money on. I like the pockets it has - can be used while wearing a rucksack.
My GF tried mine a few times cycling to work in the rain and was also so impressed, she bought one too !
Finally got to use my Rab stretch neo in crap weather this week, 3 hours of wind and rain up over 800 metres on the beacons.
Only wore a base layer T and a RAB Boreas pull on underneath and that was plenty warm enough when working hard. If as I've read the marmot is much warmer then it is probably too warm for British weather.
Wore the jacket with hood and zip done up tight right from the car and although I did get a sweat up on the ascent it was nowhere near as bad as when wearing my old Montane venture in eVent.
As for the prolonged rain which was the one thing I was concerned about I was well happy to see that apart from a bit of sweat where the rucksack makes contact the rest of my top half was bone dry.
By the way, the Rab, comfy as it is, is definitely a shell.
I think i am set on the Rab Neo Stretch in either blue or green, probably blue!!
because heavy, prolonged rain is actually quite rare
IME you only need one or the other to defeat a soft shell, rather than both together.
And while I'd agree it's the case that one doesn't really need a hard shell that often, it only takes one really bad session to render a bad day utterly, utterly miserable. And if that involves spindrift and gales together then the difference between a cheap, light shell and a more expensive one with a serious mountain hood is worth paying for, both in money and weight. This becomes more the case with colder temperatures and longer days: a summer dander and if I get wet, well so be it, but a long winter walk with a few tops and maybe an overnight I'll want a good hard shell as a priority item.
spend your money on the softshell or softshells that you will be wearing most of the time?
TBH most of the time I just wear a base layer and if it's cold a midlayer too, finding that something like a Paramo reversible shirt is windproof enough that as long as I'm working I'll be quite happy without bothering with formal windproofing. Again, the want of something more serious goes up as the temperature and daylight go down, but most of my ticks have been without either hard or soft shells on.
Hi, I'm new here. I've been looking at the Rab jacket and it would be really helpful if someone had the length measurements for the size small. I can't try it on before buying unfortunately and have all but resigned to having to send it back if it's too short. Why does no retailer, or even the Rab website, give any such measurement? It's very difficult to buy over the internet without basic information such as this!

The Leaves are Fading - Pas de deux / Antony Tudor Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan / Frederick Ashton Jardin aux lilas / Antony Tudor Johannes Brahms - Symphonie Nr. 2 (Uraufführung) / Martin Schläpfer
Duration: abt. 2 ¼ hours, two intervals
The Leaves are Fading - Pas de deux
Antony Tudor
Antony Tudor is one of the most important renewers of classical ballet in the 20th century. He was born in London in 1908, was enthusiastic about dance from an early age and was finally admitted into the class of Marie Rambert at the age of 19. In 1930 he joined her legendary company as dancer, secretary and assistant, and began to devise his own choreographies. In the British dance scene which in the 1930s was largely dominated by the aestheticism of the Ballets Russes and the expressionist dance of the German Kurt Jooss who had emigrated to London in 1934, Tudor was able to compete successfully with Frederick Ashton as a driving force through three widely differing works – "Jardin aux lilas" (1936), "Dark Elegies" (1937) and "Judgment of Paris" (1938). He understood how to transform the means of classical ballet into a dance language in which the performer is a depicter, and human experience as expressed in dance became the focal point. Once again he worked close beside a great personality of classical dance, George Balanchine, and found his definitive artistic home in the newly founded American Ballet Theater in New York, for which he created numerous choreographies, among them also his last great work dedicated wholly to pure neo-classical style, "The leaves are fading" (1975). "When he choreographed, he united the essence of every movenment in his whole being, in his eyes, his back, his hands", was how Gelsey Kirkland described working with Tudor. He created for this famous American ballerina and Jonas Kage as her partner the central pas-de-deux in "The leaves are fading" which will open the multiple bill b.14 at Ballett am Rhein. An elegiac duo far removed from the world, speaking of an unconditional and unselfish confidence between two people, a man and a woman.

Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan
Frederick Ashton
Frederick Ashton's "Five Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan" are a miniature, but what a miniature! In honour of the significant pathfinder of modern dance Isadora Duncan, the Briton wrote this solo to five Brahms waltzes from op.39 and dedicated them to a no less significant ballerina, Lynn Seymour, who in her turn will be a guest at Ballett am Rhein to prepare Ashton's choreography for the b.14 multiple bill. To this day Isadora Duncan's name has a magic aura, taking us back as it does to the beginning of expressionist dance, without however assuming any definite form in our eyes. Apart from a few photographs and sketches and writings by or about her, we do not really have anything to draw on which can help us to reconstruct her dancing. Isadora Duncan dreamed of a renewal of ballet out of the spirit of antiquity, a bodily resuscitation of the "world of Greek imagination" of Walter Pater with the means of the so transient art of dance and the rediscovery of a sensuality which had fallen into disuse. Barefoot, in a tunic which simultaneously veiled and suggested, she left all convention far behind in her performances, and shook the foundations of more than just classical ballet.
Frederick Ashton – a Briton trained by Léonide Massine and Marie Rambert, who was for many years the dominating influence over English dance with his elegantly lyrical style determined by great clarity and musicality - was so fascinated by the American Isadora Duncan's appearances that finally he set a monument to her with choreography of his own. Using the waltz no.15 from op.39 of Brahms, to which she herself had often danced, he devised for Lynn Seymour a first solo which was performed at a Hamburg gala in 1975; a year later he added another four of the waltzes to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Ballet Rambert. To his own personalized recollections of Isadora Duncan he added contemporary reports and written memories by Marie Rambert, and thus compiled a ballet which is at once homage, reconstruction, recall and new creation, danced double-exposure history and at the same time enormously living stage artistry: the reflection of Frederick Ashton in the light of the art of Isadora Duncan's dance.

Jardin aux lilas
Antony Tudor
A woman reaches out her hand towards a man. He comes to her, takes her and breaks her like a flower. He wants to own her, to make her his property, but Caroline loves another …Out of this classical triangle situation – love which hopes for fulfilment in vain and in the end is repulsed and destroyed – Antony Tudor in 1936 created his masterpiece "Jardin aux lilas" out of a vision of a fragrant lilac garden to the ultra-romantic music of Ernest Chausson's "Poème" for violin and orchestra. In the manner of a psychological study, it is not the superficial story which is the kernel, but the inner motivation of the characters and the sounding of actions and desires under the compulsions of society in Edwardian England.
Unlike his contemporary George Balanchine, Antony Tudor was not in search of abstract dance figures. but was intensively concerned with the development of wholly individual and novel physical expression which on the surface seems to be unconscious and reflexive, but conceals behind it a perpetual search for truth. "Every pose, every gesture is full of extreme expression, without loss of the classical line thereby", Jochen Schmidt writes. "In reconciling expression and form Tudor attained incomparable mastery in his best work." – a melancholic, dreamladen array of the romantic love felt by young people.

Johannes Brahms - Symphonie Nr. 2 (Uraufführung)
Martin Schläpfer
The assembly of his fourteenth première at his Ballett am Rhein meant for Martin Schläpfer a glance back – not only in ballet history, but also in his own biography. Frederick Ashton, Antony Tudor, Lynn Seymour – names which made him remember his own time in London during his training at the Royal Ballet School in 1977/78, during which he did not only intensively study the work of these choreographers, but also could experience at first hand an utterly fascinating and inspiring closeness to the stars of the Royal Ballet – among them Lynn Seymour. The composer Johannes Brahms wrote his 2nd Symphony in 1877 during a stay at his beloved Pörtschach on the Wörthersee. From the beginning the composition was regarded as a carefree orchestral idyll, a sort of pendant to Beethoven's "Pastorale". Theodor Billroth, a friend of Brahms, wrote about it: "This is blue skies everywhere, babbling brooks, sunshine and cool green shade!" That is, a symphony as a portrait of nature? The beginning with the natural horn tones, the bucolic woodwind which states the first theme, the string cantilenas which lend the work its warm sound, or the pastoral flutes and oboes – all this supports such an estimation, by which however one should not let oneself be too easily misled, warned the otherwise somewhat taciturn Brahms in advance about his "new lovely monster".
Martin Schläpfer sees his new ballet to Brahms's Symphony no.2 in D major op.73 as a sort of gesture of solidarity, in that he chimes in with the late-romantic character already established by the five waltzes of the same composer played earlier on the same evening to another ballet. But at the same time the choice of this score means for him a new step in his ambition to come to terms with the large-scale dimensions of symphonic architecture and their capacity to nourish a choreographic art which again and again derives its energy from music.

According to the customer service reprisentative from GameStop Corperate, GameStop has run out of pre-order bonus codes for Ultimate Ninja Storm. *In fact, some GameStop stores weren't allowed to list pre-order bonuses for the game in the first place (many store owners and managers weren't aware of a pre-order bonus). *This is an odd circumstance, but according to the corperate GameStop customer service reprisentative the only thing that can be done at this point is to contact Namco/Bandai directly. *If you pre-ordered the game and you did not recieve your pre-order bonus code scan your receipt (you can use the picture from Mission 52: Pre-Ordering The Storm) and contact Namco/Bandai regarding the problem.
Or send an e-mail to:
I'll update you all as soon as I find out more information.
Namco/Bandai representatives explain that*the pre-order bonuses are handled entirely by GameStop and GameCrazy.**They*have*no control or access to*it.
Send your e-mail complaints to:
GameStop is*falling back*on "All pre-order bonuses are advertised as 'limited supply' ". *Essentially GameStop is saying, "forget you, Naruto fans".
Some GameStop locations will honor the pre-order bonuses of other stores. *If you did not get a pre-order download card from GameStop then you should go to the GameStop you pre-ordered Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm at and ask them to call the other locations nearby to see if they have Pre-order bonus DLC cards. *If another location has the card, ask them if they would mind holding onto it for you for the day, and then go to the other location with your reciept to confirm that you pre-ordered Naruto. *Not all GameStop locations are doing this, so make sure you are nice and courteous.
This is the end of the story, GameStop is unwilling to fix their mistake - so if none of the GameStops in your area will give you a pre-order bonus DLC card you are out of luck.
According to Shonen Jump, Storm Pack 1 and Storm Pack 2 will be available to the public March/April 2009 on the PSN without the need for a pre-order code.

This product is top grade quality. I don't believe it gets any better than this. The towels are so soft and so absorbent--warm and inviting when your body is wrapped in one of these towels! The only con at all I can even think of is the variety of colors. I was not impressed with these colors at all and would've preferred a wider variety that included light and Spring type colors.

Towels don't dry one's body after shower

These towels are certainly very heavy with a high thread count however, they don't dry one's body properly. It's like using a rug to do the job.I called your customer service department and relayed this message to her.
Really thick.
By John
from NYC
I bought these for my dad for Christmas one year and I felt them when he opened them. AMAZINGLY thick. When I got a new apartment, I decided to buy them for myself too. They're great. When they first arrived, I even texted a friend that I think the towels I ordered were TOO thick, and meant it, but now that I'm used to it, I couldn't go back. Whenever I use one of the old towels I used to use, it feels like I'm using a thin, scratchy dish towel. So, I just bought them for my mom, and I'm sure she'll like them too. *One warning though, be careful with them when you first get them until you've washed them a few times—the loops tend to snag at first and can leave a small run. All in all, buy them.
very heavy and sheds
By heavy lifter
from somewhere in illinois
Still relatively new. I'm still not sure they are worth the money because they require too much care when washing and drying and do not dry very well without putting them in the dryer after each use.

Nuisance wildlife is wildlife that...
Before removing an animal, please visit our Wildlife Assistance website for help in understanding the laws protecting wildlife and your options for resolving the problem. Anyone transporting or possessing live venomous reptiles is required to have a captive wildlife permit.
A FWC permit is required for take of any state listed species or any bird species protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).
Specific permit requirements are explained below.
This permit authorizes a landowner or their designee to take depredating wildlife (beaver, bobcat, fox, possum, rabbit, raccoon, otter, skunk or nutria) at night with a gun and light. The permit is not required to take wild hog, coyote, armadillo, black or Norway rat, and house mouse, with a gun and light during non-daylight hours. Under special restrictions, authorizes harassment (scaring) deer causing damage to crops with a gun and light at night.
This permit authorizes the killing of deer that are causing extreme damage to a crop where a Gun and Light at Night Permit is not eliminating the depredation or is not feasible. Contact your local FWC regional office to request a Depredating Deer permit for temporary relief.
This permit authorizes the holder to use padded jaw steel traps for the purpose of taking destructive coyotes, fox, bobcats, beaver, and otter.
Protected fish and wildlife include those species listed as endangered, threatened or species of special concern. Also included are migratory birds and other species protected by FWC rules. FWC rules prohibit activities that may have a negative effect on protected fish and wildlife without a permit.
This permit authorizes a person in possession of a copy of the Federal permit to lethally control and trap feral mallards from May 1 through August 31 annually and to destroy nests and eggs of feral mallards year-round. This is not a hunting license.
This permit authorizes landowners (and their employees and agents) to take birds and nests to reduce depredation to commercial agricultural operations. It is the permit holder's responsibility to understand and adhere to all provisions set forth in the permit.
Hunting and trapping wild hogs is not only a popular sport in Florida but a useful tool in man's attempt to control feral populations on private and state lands. Nuisance wildlife trappers that want to shoot or trap feral swine on private lands do not need FWC authorization. Permission of the landowner is all that is required. A permit is not required to take wild hog with a gun and light during non-daylight hours.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) requires individuals trapping feral swine in Florida to register with DOACS as a Feral Swine Dealer (FSD).
The FWC does not license nuisance wildlife trappers. Nuisance wildlife trappers may voluntarily register to have their name and contact information added to the Wildlife Trapper List. Persons contacting FWC looking for help with nuisance wildlife are directed to the wildlife trapper list.

Respect for LGBTQ New Yorkers MRNY combats institutional homophobia, transphobia, job discrimination, hate crimes, and harassment, while promoting LGBTQ inclusion and expression. We have:
Citizenship and Civic Engagement MRNY connects disenfranchised communities into our democracy, increasing electoral participation through voter registration, education, and year-round, nonpartisan civic engagement activities. We have:
Safe Communities MRNY works to ensure that immigrants, people of color and LGBTQ New Yorkers do not have to live in fear of police targeting, deportation, or discrimination. We have:
On March 18, 2013, Mayor Bloomberg signed new legislation to stop federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from using NYC's criminal justice system to deport thousands of New Yorkers.
Building on legislation we helped to win just over a year ago, Local Laws 21 and 22 prohibit not only the Department of Correction but now also the NYPD from spending millions of city taxpayer dollars to hold individuals on behalf of ICE agents for detention and deportation. Each year, thousands of New York families will stay together who would otherwise have been torn apart by overly aggressive, indiscriminate immigration enforcement.
At a moment when the country is debating immigration reform, with these laws, New York City sends a clear message to Washington that tearing apart thousands of immigrant families is bad policy.
With your support, we look forward to winning national reform that keeps families together. We thank our partners at the Center for Popular Democracy, the Cardozo Immigration Justice Clinic and the bills' sponsors, NYC Council Speaker Quinn and Council Member Mark-Viverito, for their courageous leadership.

2013 movie preview: 'Star Trek,' 'Hunger Games' sequels and more fantastical entries (with trailers)
You ready to geek out?
Sure, there will be rom-coms, historical dramas, party flicks and animated adventures, but take a look at a large sampling of the films slated to hit theaters in 2013 and you quickly reach one conclusion: This has the potential to be a good year for lovers of science-fiction epics, comic book adaptations and all things supernatural. Or at least a busy year.
Let's start with what could be the best movie of the summer, "Star Trek Into Darkness" (May 17). It will have been about four years since writer-director J.J. Abrams rebooted the "Trek" universe with the simply titled "Star Trek," an absolute joy of a movie that sent Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and company off on a new time line. We don't know much about the movie, other than it's also helmed by Abrams and that Benedict Cumberbatch (the BBC series "Sherlock") will be playing the villain. The character has been given the name John Harrison, but rumors persist that he's really Khan — the baddie from 1982's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" — or some other villain with a link to the past. (While most of us will have to wait to lean more, a terminal cancer patient saw his wish granted by Abrams to see a cut of the movie early. Very cool stuff.)
We move from talking Khan to talking Katniss, as in Ms. Everdeen, if you please. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" (Nov. 22) continues the adventure of Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (John Hutcherson), who are roped into a special edition of the Hunger Games that happens every 25 years. The second adaptation of a book in Suzanne Collins' dystopian trilogy has a new screenwriter (Michael Arndt, "Toy Story 3"), director (Francis Lawrence, "Water for Elephants") and cast members (Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, Sam Claflin as Finnick Odair). Hopefully the new powers that be didn't mess too much with a good thing.
Superman comes back to us in "Man of Steel" (June 14) with "300" and "Watchmen" director Zack Snyder steering the ship and Henry Cavill ("Immortals") wearing the "S" on his chest. Unlike 2006's "Superman Returns," which landed with a bit of a thud, "Man of Steel" starts Supes from scratch with an origin story. The movie has some creative ties to the recent Batman trilogy: Its director, Christopher Nolan, is producing, and co-writer David S. Goyer is credited with the screenplay. The cast includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, as well as Kevin Costner, Diane Lane and Russell Crowe.
Other notable superhero movies flying at us are sequels. Robert Downey Jr. is back in heavy metal in "Iron Man 3" (April 26) with Ben Kingsley as the villainous Mandarin. Iron Man's Avengers buddy from Asgard also gets another movie with "Thor: The Dark World" (Nov. 8). Returning for round two are Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster and Tom Hiddleston as that pain in the behind Loki. (Geez, somebody really needs to take care of this guy for good one of these days.) Lastly, we get more of Hugh Jackman with super-durable metal claws in "The Wolverine" (July 26), a sequel of sorts to 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." It should be better than its predecessor thanks to director James Mangold ("Walk the Line," "3:10 to Yuma") and writer Christopher McQuarrie ("Jack Reacher").
A few more calendar entries for your inner geek: Continued...
— The second part of Peter Jackson's new Middle-earth trilogy, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" (Dec. 13) continues the adventure of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) and pals as they take on the dragon Smaug (voiced by the aforementioned Benedict Cumberbatch).
— Brad Pitt battles zombies in the post-apocalyptic horror film "World War Z" (June 21).
— Tom Cruise stars as one of the last drone repairmen stationed above a desolated-by-war Earth who encounters a downed spacecraft on the planet in "Oblivian" (April 12). Written and directed by Joseph Kosinski ("Tron: Legacy"), "Oblivian" is based on Kosinski's and Arvid Nelson's graphic novel of the same name.
— With no big names in the cast, the draw of sci-fi movie "Pacific Rim" (July 12) is director Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," the "Hellboy" movies). Humans control giant robots to take on giant monsters who invade from another dimension via the sea.
— A 1985 science-fiction novel by Orson Scott Card goes to the big screen in "Ender's Game" (Nov. 1), starring Asa Butterfield of "Hugo" with supporting work from Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis and Abigail Breslin.
— Alfonzo Cuaron ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Children of Men") directs George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in "Gravity" (date TBD), about astronauts trying to return home after their shuttle is hit by debris and becomes adrift in space.
— Will Smith teams with son Jaden for the first time since 2006's "The Pursuit of Happyness" in "After Earth" (June 7), which has a father and son crash landing to Earth 1,000 years after cataclysmic events ravaged the planet. The movie is directed and co-written by M. Night Shyamalon, who could really use a bounce-back project following 2010's "The Last Airbender." Continued...
— "Elysium" (Aug. 9) is Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to 2009's metaphorical "District 9." The new effort, set in 2159 has one class of people living on a ravaged earth and another on a very nice space station called Elysium. The cast includes Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and "District 9" star Sharlto Copley.
— Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller team up again for "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" (Oct. 4), a sequel to the co-directors' "Sin City," based on Miller's provocative comic book series. We know that the movie will be visually impressive, and it will bring back some players from the first movie, including Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson.
Before we end the geek-out, know that you can also expect sequels "Kick-Ass 2" (June 28), "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" (Aug. 16) and "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" (March 29), a prequel, "300: Rise of an Empire" (Aug. 2), and back-to-back 3-D re-releases of "Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones" (Sept. 20) and "Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" (Oct. 11).
OK, OK, enough of this nerdy stuff already, right? What else is there?
How about the long-talked about return of Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) in "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" (Dec. 20), which will also bring back Christina Applegate's Veronica Corningstone, Steve Carell's Brick Tamland and Paul Rudd's Brian Fantana. And yes, David Koechner's also in the mix as Champ Kind. Whammy!
Sticking with comedies and sequels, we'll allegedly see the end to the blackout fun with "The Hangover Part III" (May 24). Director Todd Phillips has promised that unlike 2011's near-carbon-copy sequel to the 2009 smash, "Part III" will give us something different with The Wolf Pack, aka Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Well, we'll see.
"The Lone Ranger" (July 3), which looks to be more of an action-comedy, has roots in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. It stars Johnny Depp, as American Indian Tonto, is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Walt Disney Studios. Armie Hammer ("The Social Network") stars in the title role. Continued...
A couple of animated entries are worth noting. You've probably already seen some advertisements for "The Croods" (March 22), about a prehistoric family and featuring voice work by Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone. And then there's "Monsters University" (June 21), Pixar Animation Studios' prequel to "Monsters, Inc." that will introduce us to Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and James P. Sullivan, aka "Sully" (John Goodman), during their college days.
Later in the year, we're set to get a double dose of Tom Hanks. First, he'll play the title role in "Captain Phillips" (Oct. 11) from director Paul Greengrass ("The Bourne Supremacy"), about a man taken hostage by Somali pirates during the hijacking of a cargo ship. Then, having years ago saved Private Ryan, he'll star in "Saving Mr. Banks" (Dec. 20). He'll again play a real-life person, Walt Disney, while Emma Thompson will portray P.L. Travers, the author of "Mary Poppins."
Last but not least, what would a year be without some reality-challenged action movies. We're sure to get several, but there is a pair of sequels that must be noted.
The producers of "A Good Day to Die Hard" (Feb. 14) were perhaps wise not to position this fifth (fifth!) installment of the franchise as a big summer release, but pushing it out on Valentine's Day seems a bit odd. This time, John McClane (Bruce Willis) is in Russia to help his son (Jai Courtney, "Jack Reacher") but — get this — runs afoul of some bad guys. In the director's chair is John Moore, who last made 2008's "Max Payne."
And then there's "The Fast and the Furious 6" (May 24). Returning to the fuel-injected, fantastically silly franchise are a bunch of key players, including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, and Paul Walker — and, perhaps most importantly, director Justin Lin, who made 2011's "Fast Five" such ridiculous fun. We can only hope there's still time to give the coming movie a better title. The hope here is "Fast, Furious and Oh So Six-y."

Don't Forget
- Register for Orientation and select first-year program preferences at my.hofstra.edu.
- August 29 - September 2, 2013 - Welcome Week.
2013 Common Reading
Every year, as part of the orientation experience, we choose a book to discuss with our entering students.
This year's selection is The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen. The book focuses on Will Allen's life and journey as an African American from a farming family, to professional basketball player, to Proctor and Gamble marketing executive, and back to urban farmer. Mr. Allen received a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" in 2009 and is a leading voice in rethinking the agriculture industry. He has made important contributions not only to his own community, but to the diffusion of knowledge about urban agriculture across the world. Part of the book's relevance for us is that its portrayal of urban agriculture takes place in a setting not too different from our own in Hempstead, NY. As you begin your own journey as an incoming college student we hope the book will stimulate your imagination and give you an expanded sense of what is possible.
Deposited students will be receiving this book in the mail after May 15. We expect you to read it in advance of your orientation session, so that when you arrive on campus you will be able to discuss it in a classroom setting with a member of the Hofstra faculty. The Common Reading website will have more information soon.

Jai Josefs Songwriting Class - NEW DATE - Sunday, June 2nd....see below Seskin workshop
Steve Seskin Liz Longley and Julia Sinclair all day Songwriting Workshop Saturday, June 1st in San Carlos CA
All day songwriting workshop with Steve Seskin, Liz Longley and Julia Sinclair at YORMO, 151 Old County Road, San Carlos CA 94070 9:30an - 4:30pm cost $90 PAY HERE
Julia Sinclairis an award-winning classically trained guitarist turned singer-songwriter.It wasn't long before the music industry began to take interest from her early material that she posted online. Inadvertently, Julia was approached by powerhouse producers and songwriters including Babyface (Kenneth Edmunds) and Rodney Jerkins.Soon after, she was sought after by the team responsible for guiding the careers of some of the most successful artists today ranging from Dave Matthews Band and Phish to Alicia Keys and Faith Hill, and quickly enlisted their help to officially join the roster.Julia proceeded the hone in on her craft and moved out to Los Angeles last summer to work with an all-star list of writers and producers ranging from John Alagia (John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band) to Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera, Pink).She recently recorded an acoustic EP at Dave Matthews Band's Haunted Hollow Studio in Charlottesville, VA and made the move to Nashville, TN where she will begin to work on her debut album for ATO Records (Radiohead, David Gray, Patty Griffin).Julia is a talented instumentalist, playing piano, cello, bass, drums, mandolin, and guitar. She studied classical guitar intensively for early six years and then began to incorporate her skill and technique to her love for modern pop music.She cites cotemporary influences including John Mayer, KT Tustall, Jason Mraz, and Imogen Heap, as well as classic artists ranging from The Beatles to Nick Drake.For Julia, it has been a whirlwind of excitement over the past two years, and she is eager to take her music and her craft on the road new new audiences, one show at a time.
SteveSeskin is a successful songwriter with seven #1's to his credit. Songs recorded by Tim McGraw, Neal McCoy, John Michael Montgomery, Kenny Chesney, Collin Raye, Peter Frampton, Waylon Jennings, Alabama, Mark Wills, and Peter Paul and Mary. His song "Don't Laugh At Me" was a finalist for CMA "Song of the Year" in 1999, and has spurred an entire tolerance movement, launched by the Don't Laugh at Me Project. Other Seskinhits include: "I Think About You," "Life's A Dance," "No Doubt About It," "If You've Got Love" and "Grown Men Don't Cry." While many others have recorded his songs, no one sings them with the passion he brings to each song every time he takes the stage.
A SteveSeskin concert will have you wiping away a tear one minute and laughing out loud the next. His songs all have messages that touch the hearts of everyone: from the feelings of a little boy missing his father, to growing up and being true to yourself, to one of his most well know themes of being considerate to and respectful of one another as expressed in "Don't Laugh at Me.
Liz Longley: In the short time since her graduation from Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, singer-songwriter Liz Longley has assembled an impressive resume. While best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, Liz has steadily developed a reputation as an accomplished songwriter, crafting intimately personal portraits through her music.
In the past two years, Liz has taken home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriting Competition. New England named her the 2011 Female Performer of the Year, the Washington Post declared that Liz is "destined for a larger audience" and Dig Boston called her "a rising acoustic sensation." Even John Mayer is a fan, calling her music "gorgeous, simply gorgeous."
A Philadelphia native, Liz recently made the move to Nashville, Tennessee where she has quickly made her presence known throughout Music City. In addition to writing more than forty songs with some of the best songwriters in the business, Liz has also managed to keep up her seemingly never-ending touring schedule, playing over one hundred shows in the last year - all without the help of a record label or booking agent.
While Liz frequently supports the likes of Shawn Colvin, Amos Lee, Paula Cole, Nanci Griffith, Livingston Taylor, Lori McKenna and Colin Hay, something remarkable has begun to happen - audiences are emerging from these shows as fast fans of Liz's music as well. An engaging performer with an effortless stage presence, Liz has broken advance ticket and merchandise sales records at numerous venues across the country.
Most recently, Liz's music has taken center stage on a national level with numerous television placements and radio airplay. ABC's critically acclaimed series NY Med featured Liz's music throughout the first season, and the 2012 season finale of Lifetime's Army Wives displayed her towering vocals in an epic grand finale song, "This Is Not the End." Executives at SiriusXM caught wind of her captivating cover of Van Morrison's hit "Moondance" and added it into regular rotation, along with her award-winning original song, "When You've Got Trouble." After an impressive response from listeners, Liz was invited to perform live in the SiriusXM studios in New York City and was named one of their Coffee House Discoveries of 2011. Following the success of her previous release, Hot Loose Wire, and an impressive crowdfunding campaign this past summer, Liz recently returned to the studio where she recorded her fourth full-length album which is scheduled to be released on February 26, 2013.
Jai Josefs Songwriting Class - NEW DATE - Sunday, June 2nd
Class is held in San Anselmo from 11am - 4:30pm. $65 in advance and $75 at the door for WCS members. $75 in advance and $85 at the door for non-members
Why are some songwriters getting placements in film and TV on a regular basis? Why do their songs sound more "contemporary?" What's the difference between the songs being cut in Nashville today and more traditional country? What makes a melody more appropriate for the pop, folk, rock, or country market?
The answer to all these questions and many more lies in an understanding of the rhythmic GROOVE – the foundation on which modern melody and lyric writing are based. In this workshop, Jai will show you how learning these underlying principles of rhythm can make a major difference in your songwriting. Using
examples from well-known music in the pop, rock, singer-songwriter, and country genres, he will show you how working with groove can dramatically impact your melodies – and your lyrics – with a special emphasis on how you can immediately apply what you learn to your next song.
The class will begin with a lecture/presentation in the morning that includes listening to current successful songs and analyzing how the groove gives them their unique sound. In the afternoon, Jai will listen to songs and give you specific feedback on how the principles of groove could be used to make them sound fresher and more accessible so your message reaches a wider audience.
Jai Josefs is a nationally renowned songwriting coach who has taught songwriting at UCLA, as well as at dozens of seminars and conferences throughout North America He has also been a successful songwriter and producer in his own right with songs recorded by artists from Jose Feliciano to Pam Tillis, with such companies as Universal, RCA, Motown, and Disney, and in over 60 TV shows and feature films with stars like Harrison Ford and Billy Bob Thornton. He is currently coach and mentor of the Northern California SongShop. Under his guidance members have released several CD's with national radio airplay and had over a dozen placements in film and television within the last year.

Maliki appoligizes to Iraqi people for tight security measures
BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Premier Nouri al-Maliki announced today that the Arab Summit was "a challenge to Iraq on security, political and economic levels", submitting his apology for "the sufferings incurred on the people on this occasion".
A word on the termination of Arab Summit deliberations, he added that "it was a new turn in Iraqi relations with other Arab countries".
He extended thanks to President Jalal Talabani, Parliament Speaker Usama Nujaifi, Parliamentarians and the security forces for their efforts, as well as the Arab leaders and guest for attending the Summit.
The Summit witnessed the attendance of the Arab Spring countries, while Gulf leaders were absent except for Emir of Kuwait.
It was held in Baghdad, at a time Iraqi is facing internal challenges due to political differences among the party components on the participation in the rule of the country.
The Summit is the most important diplomatic event since 1990, where the Arab leaders met to discuss the issues of their countries, at a time the Arab region witnessed, during the last two years, the emergence of new regimes.
The Iraqi government spread greater number of armed and security forces during the last two weeks, while the government announced a one week holiday in Baghdad.
But all these measures did not prevent the eruption of explosions in a number of Iraqi provinces, including Baghdad that led to 50 killings and 100 casualties, according to official statements.
During the Summit period, no important violent events were reported, which was regarded by the government "a success".
The New York Times reported that the costs of the Arab Summit reached to $ 500 million to provide security, accommodation, renovation of hotels and Baghdad airport highway.

Leinster back-row Rhys Ruddock has been drafted into Ireland's squad as John Muldoon's replacement for Saturday's clash with Argentina in Dublin.
Muldoon tore his medial knee ligament in last weekend's 53-0 win for the Ireland XV over Fiji in Limerick and is expected to be sidelined for up to three months.
Fly-half Jonathan Sexton is expected to be fit for the Pumas clash despite suffering a groin injury in the warm-up for the Fiji match which ruled him out of the encounter.
He will not train fully until later in the week but is expected to be declared fit for the Pumas' visit.
"During the warm-up he got a bit of a tight groin so we felt it was prudent to pull him out," said Ireland coach Declan Kidney.
Ireland will name their team on Thursday.

This year's hurricane season — which officially comes to a close Friday — has proved to be one of the most active on record, with Hurricane Isaac and super storm Sandy wreaking havoc on two coastlines, although both storms, technically, did not meet the definition of "major" hurricanes.
"This year proved that it's wrong to think that only major hurricanes can ruin lives and impact local economies," said Laura Furgione, acting director of the National Weather Service.
This season ranks third among the most active since record-keeping began in 1851 with 19 named storms, 10 of them hurricanes — although only one, Michael, was strong enough to be considered a "major" hurricane — and it never made landfall. Sandy was a Category 2, Isaac a Category 1.
PHOTOS: 2012 hurricane devastation
On Thursday, forecasters at the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University issued a report noting they had "significantly under-predicted named storms and named storm days, while we over-predicted more intense hurricane activity for the entire Atlantic basin."
Many forecasters low-balled the number of storms this year, expecting winds associated with El Nino to weaken tropical systems through "wind shear," an effect that tilts them before they can grow taller and strengthen.
"A lot of seasonal forecasters, us included, expected El Nino to develop, which it really didn't," said Colorado State forecaster Philip Klotzbach. "This season was really unusual."
QUIZ: Test your hurricane knowledge
Usually, the Atlantic sees a dozen named storms a season, half of them hurricanes, half of those major storms, according to John Cangialosi, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The season also began earlier than usual, with tropical storms Alberto and Beryl arriving before June 1, and tied with the last two years, as well as 1995 and 1887, for the third-most tropical storms on record. There were more storms only in 2005 (28), and in 1933 (21), according to the National Hurricane Center.
This was first season with only one major hurricane in five years, less than what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had predicted in August: five to eight hurricanes, two to three of them "major," meaning they rated categories 3 to 5 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. Michael was a Category 3.
FULL COVERAGE: Hurricane Sandy
The scale was developed in 1971 by civil engineer Herbert Saffir and meteorologist Robert Simpson, then director of the National Hurricane Center, to classify storms based on wind measurements.
According to the National Hurricane Center, a Category 1 hurricane generates "very dangerous winds" of 75 to 95 mph, strong enough to damage roofs, topple trees and power lines.
By contrast, a Category 3 hurricane packs winds of 111 mph or more and can cause "devastating damage" to homes, snapping many trees, blocking roads and leaving areas without water or power for weeks.
Hurricane Isaac was a Category 1 when it made landfall in Louisiana August 28, eventually killing nine people and causing up to $1.5 billion in damages, primarily from flooding associated with heavy rain and storm surge.
Superstorm Sandy, the most powerful storm this season, peaked as a Category 2, weakened and was no longer even a hurricane according to Saffir-Simpson when it made landfall in New Jersey on Oct. 29, killing 125 people across the region and causing $62 billion in damages, making it the second-costliest storm in U.S. history after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which caused about $128 billion in damages, adjusting for inflation.
Both storms illustrate the danger of judging hurricanes according to their category on the familiar scale, weather experts said.
"Saffir-Simpson scale is solely based on the wind speed," Cangialosi said. "A lot of people sometimes over-focus on the categories. People are usually taken off guard and think it could be a lot worse. We don't want you to pay attention to the category. Wind is only one variable that contributes to how high storm surge could be."
Rainfall is another factor the scale doesn't account for. Isaac moved slowly over the New Orleans area, dumping rain into already saturated low-lying areas and contributing to flooding.

Results tagged ' Maholm '
Guess Who's back? Back again.
I haven't posted in over two months. I apologize to the few of you guys out there that actually read my blog.
A lot has happened. A lot of loosing. Instead of boring you with all of that, im just going to do a few recaps and stay on the positive side of things (even though the buccos are 25-46) I think that is what makes me different from most Pirate fans. I look at the bright side of things and even when they were on a 12 game loosing streak I still turned on the game or was at the game and thought "tonights going to be a good night" I'm not exactly sure how I'm still this way after 17 loosing seasons, ever since I've been watching the Pirates they have been a loosing team, but somehow I am.
Starting Pitching. Well, it has been down right awful. Aside from Maholm (last night went only 1 inning gave up 7H 7R 5ER 4BB Who summed it by saying that he "just stunk" ) has been the only starter this season to pitch pretty well and consistent. Zack Duke is on the DL with an elbow strain. Ross Ohlendorf still struggling with his command. Has yet to win a single game this year. His last start went well the first four innings and then he just ran out of gas and the Rangers took advantage of it. Charlie Morton in still in AAA. I'm a huge fan of Charlie's. He has the stuff to be a really great pitcher. He deffinitly showed that last season. Fingers crossed he works out his kinks because we REALLY need him. Part of the Calvary is Brad Lincoln. He has had three starts so far and has pitched decent. Deffinitly a great pitcher in the making. Karstens, Burress, Jacu, Eveland, McCutchen (have I missed anyone?) So many different starters. So many disasters.
Bullpen. Unbelieveable! and in the best way possible. The pen this year has been just ridiculous. I can't remember the last time the Pirates had so many great arms. I don't think they have gotten enough credit for it. Evan Meek is just nasty. He has a 0.66 ERA, which is the lowest in all of baseball. Hanrahan has been great as well. His ERA is not as low, but don't let that fool you he throws nasty pitches too. Lopez, Donnelly, Dotel, DJ.
If you listen to Pirates extra innings after the game with Rocco Demaro i called in a few days ago and asked Rocco about the future of Meek & Hanny (possible closer) you can hear the podcast here June 19th around the 21 min mark
Today the Pirates called up Steven Jackson and Justin Thomas. The pen has been worked a lot and they came to the rescue! One will be gone friday when they spot start Daniel McCutchen for Saturdays game.
Position Players. GFJ has been a monster. (Jones 12 game hit streak ended last night) Andrew McCutchen. Well, what can't he do? He is so much fun to watch! Neil Walker has also been very impressive since being called up as well. Not only has he been hitting he has also been flashing the leather over at 2b. The other memebers of the calvary include PEDRO! PEDRO! and Jose Tabata. They have both been here a few weeks now. Pedro is off to a slow start, which isnt new for him. Once he starts hitting he will deffinitly be something to watch. Steve Pearce in still in AAA rehabing his ankle (should be coming off the DL anyday now) Ryan Church is hitting way below the Mendoza line and hopefully gets traded away soon. As we all know by now, AKI was DFA, cleared (big shocker right?) and reports to AAA on friday. Milledge as of late has been hitting well too. Still has yet to show power, no homeruns.
Last years 1st round pick Tony Sanchez had his surgery today. He was hit in the face with a pitch and had two jaw fractures. He is expected to be out 6 to 8 weeks.
Over the last few days there has been a lot of injuries to the Pirates and as well in the minors. It's very frustrating.
Some other random news:
The Marlins fired their Manager Fredi Gonzalez yesterday. ESPN is reporting that Bobby Valentine is the front runner for the job and will interview tomorow.
Strasburg started his 3rd game yesterday. He went 6 IN 9H 1ER 9K 4BB and got his first loss on the season. He has been just unbelieveable. Not even the slightest overated. Before heading into yesterday's game he had 32 K in 19.1 Innings. He also got his first ML hit in the 3rd inning. As a huge fan of the game I love watching him pitch. My favorite aspect of the game is deffinitly the pitching. I'd take a pitchers duel anyday.
I have to comment on last night's Rockies game. It was amazing! Jimenez heading into the start was 13-1 with a 1.15 ERA. That's just insane. He eneded up giving up 6ER (a season high) and his ERA went up to 1.60. The most exciting part was the Jason Giambi's walk off BLAST
Gallardo almost had a perfect game today. He lost his bid in the 6th inning. He did go on to get a complete game shutout over the Twins.
