HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 16 February 2012 10:00AM
The government may be cutting back at home, but it's still spending abroad. Jeremy Hunt, secretary of state for the Department of Culture, Media, Sport and the Olympics (DCMS), unveiled VisitBritain's biggest ever global marketing campaign last week. At the launch, he said: 'We should be cutting back on marketing, but we are turning that on its head, ignoring the naysayers and putting (in) additional funds.'
Speaking to Marketing, Hunt said he hoped the £25m 'Great' initiative, which will run in 14 cities worldwide until March 2013, would be a 'campaign marketers will be proud of'.
'We are lucky in this country to have some of the finest creative minds on the planet on tap,' he added. 'London and New York are the two global capitals of the marketing industry.'
The DCMS has ramped up its 'Great' campaign, introduced by Prime Minister David Cameron last September, to drive business investment and student numbers alongside tourism. The extra £25m that the government is putting into the activity is in addition to VisitBritain's four-year, £100m 'You're invited' marketing programme, with both executions now rolling into one.
The campaign breaks in New York this week, to coincide with Fashion Week, before rolling out to 13 more cities in nine countries. Hunt cannot resist pointing out one of the cheekier locations: a plug for the British Museum will be outside Paris' Musee du Louvre.
The campaign encompasses TV, outdoor and digital executions addressing five themes: culture, countryside, heritage, music and sport. The aim is to boost visitor numbers by 4.6m and visitor spend by £2.3bn over the next four years. VisitBritain claims it will help to create 60,000 jobs.
A deal with Yahoo! is intended - or 'guaranteed', according to VisitBritain chief executive Sandie Dawe - to drive at least 5m views of the tourism body's content through the Yahoo! network, and more than 3.5m visits to VisitBritain's own platforms.
While consumers are on the countdown to the Olympics, like any other marketing department, VisitBritain is on to the next campaign. Its challenge will be to ensure tourists keep coming back, rather than look to the next country 'of the moment'.
Dawe remains hopeful, however. 'If we can prove the campaign is working - we have to be able to turn this work into real visits - then there might be another pot of money next year to do some more.'
Once the Olympics is over, how do you plan to keep visitors coming to the UK and compete with other worldwide destinations?
We are conscious that we will get a lot of attention this year, but the spotlight moves on. We know we have to be creative about how we draw people's attention to what we have. We will let Brazil make the most of what it's doing for its World Cup and Olympics, while we will move on to our next proposition and iteration of this campaign.
Does the 'Great' campaign have longevity? If so, how does it fit into your marketing plans post-2012?
We are now in the second year of our four-year, £100m marketing programme, and plan to hang on to the Great campaign for as long as we think is right. We will plan ahead with this new campaign as far as we have the funding.
For the moment, we are concentrating on the immediate horizon, which means promoting what visitors find appealing about Britain. We will never abandon the themes of culture, heritage, countryside, music and sport, as these are the reasons people come here.
What is your main target audience for this global campaign?
Affluent, urban, aspirational professionals who want something different. We're a long-haul destination from China and Brazil, so they have to be able to afford to get here.
How and why did you decide on certain countries and cities in which to launch the 'Great' campaign?
It was a case of asking 'where will we get the best bang for our buck?' France, Germany and the US are at the top of the list of the markets that deliver the most volume and value now.
But it's the BRIC countries where we need to boost our image. In China and India, they don't know much about our culture or modern Britain. In terms of potential, we wanted to go into these markets, focusing on urban clusters and cities. We will probably get more than 1m visitors from Australia next year; from a long-haul destination with a population of 22m, that is fantastic.

CAN we continue to burn fossil fuels and still hope to halt global warming? It seems unlikely - and with the cost of generating wind and solar electricity falling, perhaps unnecessary. Despite this, big money and big politics are lining up behind the development of "zero-emission" power plants that burn coal or gas but release no carbon dioxide.
The latest advocates are former fans of renewable energy at the European Union, who say the strategy will be "essential" if the EU is to meet targets for limiting the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. This month, at a conference in Brussels, Europe's new commissioner for energy, Andris Piebalgs, said the EU could cut CO2 emissions while continuing to burn its native coal and lignite. And still stay economically competitive.
One way to do this, Piebalgs said, is to embrace clean coal technologies - a move that would chime with the ...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (July 4, 2014) Pat Summitt will remain the head coach emeritus of the University of Tennessee women's basketball team next season and can hold the position as long as she wants it, according to a new contract signed in May and obtained Thursday night through a public records request.
The contract says simply that Summitt will have the title head coach emeritus "in perpetuity, or until she chooses to relinquish it."
Summitt will make $75,000 a year under terms of the contract, which runs through April 30.
She was paid $85,000 last year.
Summitt has served as head coach emeritus since ending her 38-season tenure as the Lady Vols' coach in April 2012, a year after announcing she had early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type.

In the wake of leaked documents offering new details about the National Security Agency's surveillance capabilities, Google has accelerated plans to encrypt all traffic flowing between its data centers.
The move isn't aimed at resisting government-ordered requests for information about Google's users, or data that Google stores, with which the company must legally comply. Rather, the initiative is aimed at making it more difficult for government intelligence agencies -- or anyone else -- to surreptitiously eavesdrop on data handled by Google.

Nicole Kidman Gossip
Nicole Kidman gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
New Nicole Kidman for Jimmy Choo ads. She's lying down in all of them. I think she would have been happy about that. No gravity. Nothing pulling anything down. Everything frozen in place. And panties! Ice on the face, flames between the legs… Is this the idea here? You know when they say that Botox is killing emotions and actors are looking like they can't feel anymore? How is that during sex? Facial expressions are so important during sex. Full Story
Nicole & Keith's girls in green
INFphoto.com, Grey Wasp /Splash News
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban flew out of Sydney yesterday after spending the holiday at home in Australia. As you can see, the Kidman-Urbans are into the matching children thing, even at the airport. It does make for a good family portrait by the paparazzi with Sunday and Faith, both in green dresses, white socks, and black patent leather mary janes. Full Story
Nicole & Keith in town for a milestone
KHAP / Splash News
Nicole Kidman's parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this weekend in Australia. Nicole flew in with the girls on Wednesday – click here to see photos. Keith arrived a couple of days later. And they joined the family, including Nic's sister, Antonia, for the milestone at the Gunner Barracks tea room. Full Story
Holiday in Australia
KHAP /Grey Wasp /Splash News
It's 6 days to Christmas. Nicole Kidman arrived in Sydney yesterday with her daughters Sunday and Faith. That trip takes forever and it's especially hard on children so, presumably, they'll be spending the holiday in Australia…? Which reminds me – is Brange spending the holiday in Australia? Sunday reminds me of Saoirse Ronan. Full Story
Keith Urban cut his hair
But …just the back, right? From the front it's pretty much exactly the same. It just looks like he wanted to lose the party in the back. Inspiration: Anne Hathaway Or…Tegan & Sara! For some reason this reminds of the time Tom Cruise dyed his hair blonde for Interview With The Vampire. Full Story
Granny blonde and bobbed
Nicole Kidman is shooting Paddington (yes, about the bear) in London. She plays a bad bitch called Millicent who presumably wants to stuff Paddington and hang him on her wall. As you can see, her character is a blonde, with a fringed bob. I love that a new generation of kids will now think this is the evil lady terrorising them and their teddy friends in bed. Full Story
Nicole Kidman & Jackie Chan

Random combination, right? But we've been following China's increasing influence in film.

Granny Freeze is frozen out
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Today in Yeah, That's Actually Not Surprising news, Nicole Kidman's Grace of Monaco has been pushed back to spring 2014, taking her out of (potential) Best Actress contention. After getting a look at that chintzy teaser last week, this makes sense. Full Story
Princess Grace's frozen face
A little over a year ago I wrote about Nicole Kidman's casting in Grace of Monaco, the Princess Grace biopic, and hoped that this would be the chance to rekindle my lady-crush on Kidman. I love Grace Kelly, I (want to) love Nicole Kidman, and I want to love this movie as a merger of two of my favorite actresses. Full Story
Fawning over the Foreign Press
Mark Davis/ Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association held a luncheon yesterday in Beverly Hills. You remember what Amy and Tina said of the HFPA at the Golden Globes? "There is no known cure for the Hollywood Foreign Press." I just watched their opening monologue again. God that James Cameron joke still lands even after at least a dozen viewings. Full Story
Over to you Nicole…and Cate, and Julia, and Sandy
And Kate and Marion and how many others? It was reported yesterday that Meryl Streep will not be contending for Best Actress Oscar this year. Instead, her performance in August: Osage County will be submitted in the supporting category which means that she and Julia Roberts won't be going head to head against each other but that she will be going head to head on Oprah Winfrey for her role in The Butler.

Nicole Kidman's motorbikes and kitten heels
Eddie Mejia /Splash
A friend of mine just bought a motorbike. He took a couple of weeks' worth of lessons, then waited a few more weeks for his road test, then bought a starter Harley and tricked it out with all kinds of modifications – it's all matte, it's louder, and there's something to with something else but these are not the kind of details I memorise. Full Story
Nicole Kidman's Jimmy Choo bob
Never been a fan of Jimmy Choos. Don't even think I've ever tried on a pair. They're not my steeze. The Jimmy Choo aesthetic is very…Housewives, third marriage. Having said that, it's Nicole Kidman. And, as I always say about our Granny Freeze, she has a way of elevating looks that might not be at her level. Full Story

Nelson, Hastings file lawsuit against DNC
Mitch E.Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Calling it unacceptable that Democratic Party officials have banned presidential candidates from campaigning in Florida but allowed them to do fundraising, Sen. Bill Nelson today announced he is suing the Democratic National Committee.
The DNCâs decision to strip Florida of its delegates to next yearâs convention because it moved up its presidential primary, prompted Nelson and South Florida Congressman Aylcee Hastings to file suit.
Although initially dismissed by some Florida party officials as a tempest in a teapot, the argument between Washington and Tallahassee threatens to become something potential bigger as the Democrats appear to be in good shape to win the White House next year. But thatâs still 13 months away.
Sen. Nelson acknowledged that the issue has gotten out of hand.
Nelson says the DNCâs edict in penalizing the state violates the 1st, 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. And he says, that doesnât even include the violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Rick Hasen is a professor law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, and the host of electionlawblog.org. He says Nelson faces an uphill battle in winning this suit.
But Nelson is confident. He joins Tampa political consultant Vic DiMaio in filing a suit against the DNC â although DiMaio also included the Florida Democratic Party in his suit.
DiMaio and his attorney, Michael Steinberg, wrote to Nelson last week in anticipation of todayâs announcement, suggesting that they combine their suits. DiMaio says he never heard back from the senator, and says his case should take precedence.
In its response today, the DNC invoked a Wisconsin decision where the Supreme Court has previously ruled that political parties - and not states - have the right to decide how their candidates for president are selected.comments powered by Disqus

I'm Benj Arriola, an SEO Professional. Some like calling themselves, SEO Experts, SEO Gurus or whatever great titles. Somehow I don't like self-proclaiming myself these titles and I'd rather prefer other people calling me this. I prefer calling myself SEO Professional simply because this is my current profession, it's my career.
Benj Arriola's SEO Story
Doing SEO as a Web Designer/Web Developer (2004-2006)
I've been playing around with SEO since 2004, while working as a web designer/developer at Einstein Industries. I was mainly doing frontend HTML/CSS/JavaScript codes and occasionally some backend scripting in PHP/MySQL if needed by a site. Most of the SEO I learned was from the onpage SEO guidance given by the main SEO people there, during those days, they were Andy Waer, Mike hawkins and Derek Ashauer. They were the ones reading about SEO, attending conferences, and I simply just did everything they told me from a coding/designing standpoint. It was Mikhail Tuknov that was pointing out cool SEO stuff that was more than standard practice at Einstein Industries. And it was Camron Deen at pointed me to WebmasterRadio.fm and was addicted to the shows there from 2005 to 2007.
A fan of WebmasterRadio.fm (2005-present)
This is when I got hooked on the show and started to become fans, avid followers of Todd "Oilman" Friesen, Greg "Web Guerrilla" Boser, and also Daron SEGuru Babin. And eventually after listening for years, I became fans of more people like Todd "Stuntdubl" Malicoat, Jeremy "Shoemoney" Schoemaker, Dave Naylor, Mikkel DeMib, Yoast De Valk, Neil Patel, Vanessa Fox, Barry "Rustybrick" Schwartz, Ben Pfeiffer, Chris Boggs, Danny Sullivan, Tim Mayer, Matt Cutts and many more!
The Transition to SEO as a Career (2006)
After leaving Einstein Industries and worked briefly as a web designer/developer for Geary Interactive, I wanted to move to the SEO department but there was really no need for that department then, I was more need in the web design/development department. So the first SEO opportunity that came along, I grabbed it. I ended up working at the defunct company Interactivate as an SEO specialist and mover over to BusinessOnLine in 2007 as an SEO Engineer. And then went on to Internet Marketing Inc. in 2010 as the SEO Director.
Winning SEO Competitions, Winning a Brand New Car (2007)
I have joined several SEO contest in the past and has won several. In any SEO contest, the general is a keyword phrase is given and a deadline date. And who ever ranks the highest on the deadline date wins. Each contest will add in their own tweaks to rules. And below is my contest winning history:
- 2009 Sulumits Retsambew SEO Contest by NetBuilders.org – 4th Place
- 2008 Promote Your Business SEO Contest by Branders.com – 2nd Place
- 2008 SEOContest2008 by UK Webmaster World – 2nd Place
- 2007 SEO World Championship by GetUpdated – 1st Place
- 2006 Vogermilten SEO Contest – 1st Place
- 2006 Ituloy Angsulong SEO Contest by SEO Philippines – 10th Google
- 2005 Isulong SEOph SEO Contest by SEO Philippines – 11th Google
Speaking Engagements, Large and Small
I have spoken at various conferences which include: SMX, PubCon, OMS, and also in the Philippines for SEMCon, MORCon, and at other events of SEO Organization Philippines. For smaller meetup groups I have shared some presentation with the San Diego SEO Meetup Group with Anita Cohen and also with the San Diego Design Group with Glenn Bradley.
More stuff about me…
I'm not yet done with this page… usually work and clients come first and my own stuff are the last thing to work on. But just as a guide for me… I plan on writing here some of the interviews I had in the past, mentions in news publications, other awards, school life and careers before SEO.

Have an awesome and dry father's day weekend!
I was once chased by a swan at a park like that so now I am terrified! But I remember as a kid loving to feed the ducks.ReplyDelete
The little things are the best for sure! :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend.ReplyDelete
I go through bobbie pins like water, I hear you on that one. Also, I'll take some of that sunshine. It is currently pouring here and I have a long weekend and am in need of some great weather!!ReplyDelete
My thing is hair ties. I have no idea where all my hair ties go.ReplyDelete
We've seen a ton of baby geese (and ducks) around our area, too. I love seeing them and can't wait to share those wonderful little moments and memories with my kids someday. Have a wonderful weekend!ReplyDelete
I hate geese. They freak me out.ReplyDelete
I need to buy some more bobbi pins. Her braid is so cute!
but no really where do all the bobbi pins go?!?!?!?!ReplyDelete

baby geese are great but last week my dog and i were chased at the park by the momma goose…they are aggressive. btw, i totally remember my braids as a child…so precious!ReplyDelete

Little things do make me happy. I just bought a new thing of hair ties and was pleased.ReplyDelete
You have the bobby pin thing too? My husband finds them all over the bloody place and it drives him nuts lolReplyDelete
It really is the little things.ReplyDelete
Cute braid! And I love the first photo.
Have a great weekend!
It really is the little things sometimes. Especially when we're all caught up in every day life, we forget to "stop and smell the roses". I love her little braid. It''s teeny tiny like my Dannika's braids...lol.ReplyDelete
I'm convinced my bobby pins, hair ties and C's soothers have all run off together. One big, happy family.ReplyDelete
That is A LOT of bobby pins, I think I've had the same pack for about 4 years! ;)ReplyDelete
It is the little moments. . Feeding ducks bread is bad because the food has little nutritional value and can harm ducklings' growth, pollute waterways and attract rodents and other pests. Similarly, ducks should not be fed any products that are spoiled or moldy; different types of mold can be fatal to waterfowl. As omnivorous birds, ducks will eat a great deal of different foods, and the best foods to offer ducks include:ReplyDelete
Cracked corn
Wheat, barley or similar grains
Oats (uncooked; rolled or quick)
Rice (cooked or uncooked)
Birdseed (any type or mix)
Grapes (cut in half)
Frozen peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook)
Mealworms (fresh or dried)
Chopped lettuce or other greens or salad mixes
Vegetable trimmings or peels (chopped)
OMG, I'm with you on the bobby pins. I've purchased way to many in my life and have little to show for it!!!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your "cool" weekend girl!!!
Love her braid!!!ReplyDelete
Hope you all have a beautiful Father's Day Celebration :)
I fear I am also going to find a mountain of bobby pins and socks one day. :/ Enjoy the beautiful weather!!!!ReplyDelete

Hello All, I'm new to the board and am in search of a midwife that would assist at our home birth in Howard County. My husband and I have a wonderful Christian midwife for our baby due in January, but I'm not sure she'll be able to assist us several states away in MD.
Does anyone know of a Christian midwife who would assist at home births. This will be our second home birth and our first experience was so beautiful and holy we are hoping to have a similar experience with round two.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
You might get more of a response by asking in your regional tribe forum.
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
I know a great Christian midwife in the southern tip of MD. Near St. Mary's, she is shy to advertise the fact because it's not legal in MD though. If you are near her contact me privately for her info.
I have removed a post from this thread due to the defamatory remarks that were made. Please leave practitioner reviews in our reviews section. We do not host them in the forums (Link in nav bar above). Thanks!

Good base layer
Happy with the construction and material. Material is soft and smooth. Digital print is slightly more green than pictured. I think the price is good as well. I wish they were cut to sit a bit lower on the waist. I don't wear them old man high.

I really curious to hear opinion what you do with the horse and for how long when having a "training session" (simply, the ride ). Lessons are OK to discuss to. I mean what kind of exercises you do, when, for how long, etc.
I'm interested, because my lesson is VERY different from what I usually do when I ride myself. During a lesson, after some walk there is a short trot (like 5 mins only if so) and then canter, and then whatever else we work on (like lateral movement today). My horse is not used to it as my schedule is very different (I always canter in the end of the ride after lots of trot, poles/cavaletti work, transitions, etc.), and she's getting over-excited with canter coming too soon (yes, I know, not good). So I wonder how do you work with your horse?

10 Things You Should Know Before Watching 'The Dark Knight Rises'
Credit: Warner Brothers Pictures
4 of 10
Meet Bane: Though many scoffed when it was announced that Bane would be 'The Dark Knight Rises'' main villain, fans shouldn't take him so lightly. In the series, Bane is the only villain that Batman is unable to match physically. 'Batman Begins'' Scarecrow and 'Dark Knight's' Joker were psychologically smart but weak in strength. In fact, Bane is the villain who broke Batman's back in the comic book series.

Readers share their feelings about people in books
Three weeks ago in this space appeared my column headlined "Book people live forever in our hearts and minds." Here are a few of the many thoughtful, incisive and emotionally honest responses from you, my dear readers:
• • •
It will probably seem a little silly to you, but when I reached the last paragraph of your column, I ended with tears in my eyes. I'm a voracious reader, and I know what you said is true. I share books with a group of relatives and friends, and we discuss what the book's characters are doing, and what impact the book had on us, and we also have some chuckles.
In response to your paragraph about the loneliness of those who don't read, I too am never lonely because of the funny, scary, enlightening, depressing and happy characters in the books I read. They have enriched my world since I was a very little girl — and I'm now 73! — Nancy Servatius, National City
• • •
As a child, I believed that it was unhealthy to read as much as I did, which were the Harry Potter series at age seven. Yet your article proves people who love literature as much as I do know that reading is not solely an escape, but a second life.
Those "characters" understand me better than my best friend can. The smell of old books, the rustle of pages turning, the echo of a person's voice as they speak into the depths of my mind — how can one NOT be affected?
It is a privilege that fictional characters share their lives with the world. When the journey ends as I reach that last page and read that last word, my heart breaks a bit since they will be frozen in time, never moving forward. But the good thing is that those people I have met will never disappear; they will be waiting until I decide to enter the book again. — Richella A. Tamondong, freshman at Mesa College, Paradise Hills
• • •
Reading in your column that E.B. White couldn't keep his voice from cracking when he was making the audio book for "Charlotte's Web" reminded me that I read that chapter to my first-graders for 25 years. And, like the author, I could never read of Charlotte's death without getting emotional. I got tears just reading what you wrote in your column.
Yes, I love books; what first-grade teacher wouldn't? Verbivores are good people! Thanks for sharing your love of books with us all. — Nancy B. Jones, Vista
• • •
Years ago, when I had just graduated from college and moved to San Diego, I got caught up in reading the "Anne of Green Gables" series. Five or six books in, Anne is grown up, finally marries her childhood sweetheart and has a baby. The baby is sick and weak, and after a few days, "the wee white thing" dies. I was floored. Five books into a 100-year-old children's book series and instead of a happily-ever-after, I get a dead baby?!

CANNES, FranceA hard-hitting Romanian film set towards the end of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's rule is making the early running at Cannes Film Festival, with critics calling it a favourite only three days into the competition.
"4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days", directed by Cristian Mungiu, is set in a single day and tells the story of Gabita illegally aborting an unwanted baby and the trials of her friend and accomplice Otilia.
It portrays not only characters' personal misery but also the drab grimness of life in the former Communist country.
One of 22 films in the main competition, "4 Months" will already take some beating in the eyes of the critics, although their opinions rarely match those of the jury when it comes to handing out the coveted "Palme d'Or" on May 27.
"Pitch perfect and brilliantly acted, "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" is a stunning achievement," Jay Weissberg of Hollywood trade magazine Variety wrote on Friday.
He went on to praise the lead performances, Mungiu's direction and the cinematography.
"Colours are all muted cement tones, capturing the crushing ugliness of life in the Eastern bloc," he added.
Another trade publication Screen International, awarding "4 Months" a maximum four stars, said the film had a "better-than-average shot at a reward from this year's jury".
In its unofficial poll of movie critics in Cannes, "4 Months" was given an average of over three stars, an unusually high mark that puts it ahead of festival opener "My Blueberry Nights" and serial killer drama "Zodiac".
The reception for Mungiu's picture follows similar critical praise in Cannes two years ago for "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu", by fellow Romanian Cristi Puiu, and comparisons between the two are already being made.
The buzz surrounding this year's Romanian competition entry makes up for the muted response to Chinese director Wong Kar Wai's English-language debut "My Blueberry Nights", which opened the 60th Cannes festival on Wednesday.
Starring singer Norah Jones alonside Jude Law, Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman, the road movie about love lost and found generally disappointed journalists, who had high expectations from the maker of the acclaimed "In The Mood For Love".
Also in competition is David Fincher's "Zodiac", which was well received in the French Riviera resort but has already been released in the United States where it has done poorly at the box office.
And Russian director Andrei Zvyagintsev, who made his name with "The Return", won barely a ripple of applause at the press screening of his second feature "The Banishment", about an emotionally estranged couple whose lives fall apart when they leave the city for the countryside.

Poli-toon of The Day: Hollywood's Hypocrisy
(HT: Prof. Jacobson @ Legal Insurrection)
Not only does arrogant Hollywood seriously believe they can preach gun banning/control to us, but they demand we stop pointing out all the violence promoted, glamorized, and widely sold in the entertainment industry's (their) finished products. But truth be told, it is not so much Hollywood's use of guns in movies as much as it is their completely blurring of the good/evil, right/wrong lines over the last few decades.
That said, here is the Hollywood Hypocrisy I want to point out...
Have you noticed how hard Hollywood and the liberals are coming down on previous Oscar winner, director Kathryn Bigelow (the first and ONLY female to win a Best Director Oscar) and her "Zero Dark Thirty"? Even a struggling feminist sister hoisted the victorious woman, who defied the Hollywood all boy's club, to the ranks of Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl for this latest movie. And it is not over 'gun violence' ... but waterboarding. (Oh, yeah, and remember, while bashing Bush over the war(s) for eight years Hollywood insisted they supported the troops, but not the mission ... and why haven't we caught and killed Osama Bin Laden, and ... and ... and ... Shut up!)
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Ampas) member David Clennon said last week he would not be voting for Kathryn Bigelow's film, which has been nominated for five Oscars, and urged others to snub a movie that he said "promotes the acceptance of the crime of torture, as a legitimate weapon in America's so-called War on Terror". Writing on the truth-out.org website, he added: "I cannot vote for a film that makes heroes of Americans who commit the crime of torture."
In response, Sony president Amy Pascal said she was "outraged" that an Academy member would try to influence the voting process. "Zero Dark Thirty does not advocate torture," she said on Friday. "To not include that part of history would have been irresponsible and inaccurate. We fully support Kathryn Bigelow and [screenwriter] Mark Boal and stand behind this extraordinary movie. We are outraged that any responsible member of the Academy would use their voting status in Ampas as a platform to advance their own political agenda."
While Zero Dark Thirty remains in the running for five Oscars, it already appears to have slipped behind frontrunners such as Steven Spielberg's Lincoln and Ang Lee's Life of Pi owing to the ongoing controversy over whether Bigelow and Boal endorsed torture by their depiction of its use in the film, and whether that depiction was accurate. Bigelow surprisingly failed to receive a nod for best director when the Oscar nominations were announced on Thursday, and Zero Dark Thirty will compete only for best film, best original screenwriting, best actress (Jessica Chastain) and two editing prizes.
The furore over the film, which also stars Jason Clarke and Joel Edgerton, seems to have had a more positive effect on its potential profitability, however. Zero Dark Thirty went to No 1 at the US box office at the weekend with $24m. Bigelow and Boal's previous film, the multiple Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, took just $17m throughout its entire US box-office run, despite the Academy's accolades.
Question for self-righteous David Clennon: In 1995 Mel Gibson won the Best Picture Oscar for "Braveheart". Did you see the last scene William Wallace (Gibson) was in? It is because Bigelow's production shows America as the winner, and the Che T-shirt-wearing left cannot have that, ever. Now then, if only Bigelow had portrayed U.S. troops being tortured, or going all "Platoon" on an innocent village...
Anyway, nobody puts Spielberg and the left's usurping of Abe with their neo-southern reconstructionism in the corner.
I think I'll see it this weekend ... "Zero Dark Thirty", that is.
One more thing, I am hoping Bigelow is currently working on a script for a "Fast and Furious" movie ... and not one involving Vin Diesel and street race cars.

In Reply to: Seizure like episode before vomiting
: I've had my JRT a short time never owned one or heard of them until I got my dog from animal control. When my dog vomits before he does his body shakes like hes having a seizure he doesn't loose control of bowel movements nor urinate after he vomitts he's fine runs around like nothing happen. I took him to my vet and he can't figure it out told me it couldn't be a seizure because vomiting isn't associated with seizures. I would appreciate any information you can give me.
If your terrier is experiencing multiple episodes of vomiting then he needs to be seen for a diagnosis of another problem.
Vomiting can be signs of lots of different things, but seizures are not among them.
The only other thing I can suggest is if this is happening fairly frequently, to videotape it and show it to your vet. He should be able to then determine whether your dog is indeed having some kind of seizure.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — As military service members carried the flag-draped coffin out of Cowboys Stadium, the sounds of bagpipes echoed and people saluted Chris Kyle, an ex-Navy SEAL sniper who dedicated his post-military career to helping other veterans.
Widow Taya Kyle spoke through tears earlier, surrounded by her husband's military friends, her voice trembling as she described to a crowd of thousands what "my slow-talking Texas man" had meant to his family, friends and country.
"Chris, there isn't enough time to tell you everything you mean to me and everything you taught me," the widow said Monday during a two-hour memorial service for Kyle, a decorated sniper and best-selling author who was slain earlier this month at a gun range.
She described herself as broken but said the family will "put one foot in front of the other" to get through their grief. She told her two children that they will remember Kyle's silly side, Texas twang and prayers they prayed together.
Nearly 7,000 people, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, attended the service. Dozens of military personnel and others were seated in front of the podium near the Dallas Cowboys' star at midfield, where Kyle's coffin was placed at the beginning.
His friends and fellow service members told mourners that Kyle was more than an excellent sniper feared by U.S. enemies — he was a dedicated family man known for his sense of humor, compassion, selflessness and generosity. Kyle completed four tours of duty in Iraq and wrote the best-selling book "American Sniper."
Some who served with him said that Kyle was a man, myth and legend because he would do anything for his fellow SEALs.
Childhood friends recalled his mischievous side, and one said he and Kyle played with BB guns as kids — and Kyle "wasn't a good shot back then."
Bo French, an executive at Craft International, the security training company Kyle started after he left the Navy, told those gathered that Kyle had a passion for helping others. Kyle also founded a nonprofit, FITCO Cares, that provides at-home fitness equipment for emotionally and physically wounded veterans.
Pictures of Kyle with his family and SEALs were shown on a large screen in the stadium. The back page of the memorial service program included copies of handwritten notes from Kyle's young kids: "I will miss your heart. I will love you even if you died" from his daughter, and "I miss you a lot. One of the best things that has happened to me is you" from his son. The children signed them "Baby Girl" and "Bubba."

News Briefings : HarperCollins Strives for Global Reach | Book Scanning Service1DollarScan Integrates with Evernote. Everyone happy?September 2012 By Brian Howard
This summer, HarperCollins announced it would be launching a global publishing program called HarperCollins 360, designed to increase availability of the publisher's titles across all English-speaking markets.
The idea is to use a network of print-on-demand [POD] facilities located in regional warehouses so that any title in English will be available in any English-language market, making rights, and not technology or geography, the only impediment to getting a book into a customer's hands.
According to Jean Marie Kelly, the newly appointed Affiliate Publisher of HarperCollins 360, the program rolled out by making 400 backlist titles (not via POD) from the publisher's U.K. division available to U.S. warehouses. The titles had previously been available through distributor Trafalgar. HarperCollins 360's plan is to make more front-list titles available through the program, with three scheduled for this fall, and five more, says Kelly, this winter.
The three lined up for imminent release are: the continuation of Janny Wurts' epic fantasy series "Wars of Light And Shadow;" "Hobbitus Ille: The Latin Hobbit"; and what could be the final major work from yoga master B. K. S. Iyengar, "Heart of the Yoga Sutras."
"I think in this new age, with all the technology we have, why do we have some books unavailable [in some regions]?" asks Kelly of the impetus behind the program. "Whether it's Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. or Canada, we want to make that book available to anyone who wants to have it."
By using POD technology in partnership with Donnelly in the U.K. and Australia (and with plans to have a U.S. POD operation running within one year), titles needn't be warehoused in a region to be available there for print purchase. This is good news for consumers—who may have had to pay exorbitant international shipping on titles—and good news for authors.
"I think one of the things we want to do is give our authors the most profound ability to reach readers," says Kelly. "[It makes] happier authors. Keeping our authors as happy as we can is a very big priority."
This process could affect how rights are handled going forward.

Falkner is Mary Shelley's sixth and last novel. During its composition Shelley's father, William Godwin, died, and it is not difficult to see the impact of that event on the novel. Often linked to and discussed together with Mary Shelley's novel of 1835, Lodore, Falkner shares with that earlier text a primary concern with the relations between a father and a daughter. The novel begins in the picturesque Cornish town of Treby, a village with a cliff promontory on top of which lies a churchyard. The initial events of the novel concern a six year old girl who regularly visits the graves of her mother and her father. We learn of how this child's parents had arrived two years earlier and of how the father, Mr Raby, had …

Waterford - Town police made six arrests over the past two days in connection with the attempted thefts of motorcycles and ATVs, most recently Tuesday morning after a homeowner tried to detain one of the suspects.
Police said a group of thieves was targeting dirt bike-style motorcycles and ATVs stored in backyard sheds.
At 1:30 a.m. Monday, police said, residents of Devonshire Drive reported hearing people in their backyards. When police arrived, they chased several men into the woods where one officer was kicked in the chest by a passenger on a dirt bike.
The dirt bike crashed, and a brief foot chase ended with the arrest of a 17-year-old juvenile and 19-year-old Yojang Torres of 168 Laurel Drive, New London. Torres was charged with second-degree criminal trespass, third-degree assault and assault on a police officer.
Police were out again at 2:15 a.m. Tuesday after people on Robin Street reported hearing noises in their backyard and found several men in a shed. Police said that a woman who confronted and attempted to detain the suspects was struck by one of the men. Sgt. Timothy Silva, who was off duty, came to her aid and detained one of the men, police said.
Later, an officer spotted a car fleeing the area of Fog Plain Road and stopped it near New London High School. The driver, a male known only by the street name "Yo Yo," fled. The other three men in the car were arrested.
As a result of the Tuesday incident, police arrested: Manuel Ortiz, 18, of 187 Huntington St., New London; Emanuel Rivera, 19, of 130 Cedar Grove, New London; Steven Colon, 19, of 197 Montauk Ave., New London; and a 17-year-old juvenile. All were charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, second-degree criminal trespass, third-degree burglary and second-degree criminal mischief. Colon additionally was charged with third-degree assault.
Ledyard police Lt. Brett Mahoney said his department is working with others locally to determine whether the men are linked to other thefts.
"We have had several thefts of ATVs and dirt bikes that have occurred very recently with the same M.O.," Mahoney said. "It's not only us. Other area police departments have thefts as well."
New London Deputy Chief Peter G. Reichard said city police are investigating several recent reports of stolen off-road and street motorcycles.
Police are asking residents to be watchful, to listen to their dogs, to keep exterior lights on and to lock sheds and trailers.
Waterford police also are trying to determine Yo Yo's real name and address. Anyone with information regarding his name or where stolen motorcycles or ATVs may be located should contact Waterford police on Facebook via direct message, by phone at (860) 442-9451, or by emailing investigating Officer Surdo at email@example.com. All contacts will be kept confidential.
During Monday's incident, a red motorcycle suspected to have been stolen was seized. A photo is posted on the department's Facebook page. The motorcycle will be returned with proof of ownership.

The influx of pan-asian artist continues in the Malaysian entertainment scene. Young, beautiful and talented, a woman by the name Cristina Suzanne Stockstill who is Malay-German parentage is slowly building her name here in Malaysia. Sceptics might say that this girl would only sell her good looks to get acting jobs in tv dramas or movies, but her excellent display in a television series "Bicara Hati" (The Talk of Love) has shot her name into stardom.
Cristina had also involved in the movie scene, especially indies. She already have two indie movies under her belt; Kil (2011) and My Indie Rock Darling (2006). Many would not realized that Cristina was actually a product of a reality-tv acting talent programme Pilih Kasih. This is due to the stage name that she used during the program was different; Kristina Cempaka. Cristina has a long way to go in the entertainment industry, but with her good looks and talent, she will be among the most-sought actress in no time!
We wish Christine all the best in her career!

Chef Frankel is the Executive Chef at Wolfgang Puck Kosher Catering at the Spertus Institute for Jewish studies in Chicago.

1 How would you describe your cooking philosophy?
I go with the Cucina Povera philosophy. The Italian philosophy (which means "poor kitchen") uses local ingredients, food that is in season and as local as possible – not schlepped from half-way around the world. Though I am not necessarily poor, I like to use what is in season, naturally available and prefer for it to be right outside my front door, I also buy my food in whole ingredients. I am not purchasing pre-made mixes, faux food or laboratory food. If a dish cannot be made without losing the integrity of the dish, then rethink the menu. This is how all chefs think. Somehow, kosher chefs have a disconnect and try to "mirror" foods that are not necessarily kosher/pareve or whatever. They lose the whole point of the dish, not even mentioning nuance from subtle combinations.
2 You avoid non-dairy substitutes like soy milk and margarine that many kosher chef's use to recreate traditionally dairy recipes. Were you once terrorized by a pareve chocolate soufflé? Please explain…
A chocolate Soufflé is all about the chocolate. Margarine does not taste good and neither does soy milk. No amount of cooking time or added ingredients can and should be used to cover up inferior ingredients. You can make a great soufflé with great chocolate, eggs, coffee, vanilla and the starch of your choice. No need to add margarine or soy milk. That is only added by someone who doesn't understand ingredient function and how a recipe really works. Reflexively adding margarine for butter and soy milk for milk or cream means you have no idea what you are doing. Study, my friends! Practice and learn what makes a soufflé a soufflé. A soufflé is comprised of 3 things. A custard base, a flavorful liquid and air.
3 What do you see as the next big trend in kosher food?
As the kosher market changes, I see people becoming more aware of organic food, the environment and modern ingredients. People ask about wild fish, organic produce and are looking for modern flavors. I hope to see that philosophy increase.
4 Describe your best cooking moment as a chef?
I have a lot of moments. I am happy when people get it. I am thrilled when they come to us, specifically for me. I have a great job and really get to have many "ta-dah" moments. Most people never have that in their jobs. I am a lucky ducky!
5 What have you learned from Wolfgang Puck? What do you think he has learned from you?
Chef Wolfgang has a long history of insisting on ethically raised food. When the whole Agriprocessors debacle went down, I was knee deep in events. We had a hard time finding products. Chef Wolfgang had a long time ago shifted his purchasing to products that were more expensive, but better. He is incredibly aware of the marketplace.
I have a no compromises approach to kosher food. I do not think that is common anywhere and certainly not in kosher. I never want to say, "it is good, for kosher."
6 What are some of your favorite dishes?
I love Lamb Tagine. I started making the Lamb Tagine when I opened my first restaurant, Shallots in Chicago, in 1998. It has gotten so many positive reviews in Chicago, New York and in my books. The recipe has evolved over the years and become very modern and interpretative.
7 What is your earliest memory of cooking?
Pulling a chair to the counter and watching my mother. I have always been fascinated by cooking. I always knew what I wanted to do.
8 When you are not wearing an apron and standing behind the stove, what do you like to eat?
My husband, who is also a chef, makes killer French pastries. He uses teas, litchi, other exotic fruits, chocolates, nuts, vanilla beans and sea salts. Oh yeah, and tons of butter. These recipes cannot be made pareve!
9 You did not grow up in a kosher home. What inspired you to adopt a kosher lifestyle?
Simple, I had kids and wanted them to know who they were and where they came from. Kashrut is the logical place to start.
10 Describe your worst kitchen disaster as a chef?
My pastry chef in New York used too much almond extract in a recipe. The people eating the cake thought they had been poisoned. It was a disaster. Taste your food, folks… before serving it!
11 What advice would you give the busy home cook?
First, learn and plan ahead. Half of cooking is planning. Second, learn a couple of recipes inside and out. Then try riffing on them!

In her most controversial film to date, Nica Noelle takes us behind the walls a religious convent where beautiful nuns of all ages struggle with lesbian urges. Beautiful Jasmine Jem fears Satan has taken control of her body when she succumbs to the pleasures of masturbation, but older nun Ariella Ferrara has a solution. Young sisters Ashley Graham and Lea Lush steal away from a prayer session to fantasize about "forbidden experiences" and decide to explore a few. Ariella Ferrara and young Presley Hart pray together for the strength to overcome their sinful lust for each other, and Mother Superior herself (Magdalene St. Michaels) preys on young, innocent Mae Olsen to satisfy her own dark desires.

Here's what you'll need:
A soup can
Some fine sand
A very sharp knife with a small blade
Some feathers
Calligraphy Ink
You can get everything you need but the soup can at most craft stores. I went to Micheal's Art's and Crafts and got the feathers, sand and hobby knife for a few bucks.
For the knife I used an Xacto hobby knife. Calligraphers use all different sorts of knives as their pen knives but the main requirement is that it be fairly short and VERY sharp.
Feathers. Most hobby stores sell turkey feathers. I got mine in a four pack for 2 dollars. You want them to be long, and check that the tips aren't crushed. Sometimes they are dyed different colors, this is fine.
I found pouches of fine sand at the craft store as well, I think they are for miniatures.
can i use pen ink

Judge Larry Seidlin, the colorful ex-cabbie who presided over the "Anna Nicole Burial" case, has been assigned perhaps the ultimate case of the last two millenia: determining the authenticity of claims that Jesus' tomb has been identified.
Although the tomb was found in a Jerusalem suburb, legal experts agree¬†that Judge Seidlin has jurisdiction, since he also presides over a suburb of Jerusalem — Broward County, Florida.
Judge Seidlin, only too happy to give media interviews about the case, maintained that he was the best man for the job: "Who, let me ask, has handled a bigger body than Anna Nicole?  Now, Jesus, he was kind of a skinny guy, shoulda' mixed in some weight work with the cardio."
Judge Seidlin also asserted that "all options are on the table, including moving Jesus' tomb to South Florida, where he could spend his eternity close to his real people, such as Miriam Moskowitz of Phase II of the Pines at Del Boca Vista."
Another possibility, the Judge suggested, was sending the tomb to the Bahamas, "so that the people doing the DNA testing on Howard K. Stern could also test the prophet from Nazareth."
Judge Seidlin stated that he would personally inspect the DNA samples found in Jesus' tomb, "right after I run down to the flea market and get a better pair of reading glasses."
At the end of the interview, the judge broke down in tears, saying that he "just wants what's best for this 2000 year-old kid, who never had a pot to piss in. I don't want him to spend another 2000 years having people kill each other in his name, God help us!"

ASU Sparring With Nudists for URL
The Pac-12 continues to have problems with its websites.
This time, Arizona State's official athletic site is being confused with one from a nudist group (let's hope 64-year-old ASU head football coach Dennis Erickson isn't a member).
According to The Dagger, SunDevils.com takes you to the site for Diablo Sun Devils, a nudist colony. Arizona State would like the domain to redirect to its official athletics page: theSunDevils.com.
Arizona State has filed a trademark claim but colony co-owner Rod Marshall said the mix-up is unintentional. Considering the group is named "Diablo Sun Devils," don't expect the URL to change hands unless a good wad of cash is involved.
Considering the problems Tupac Shakur has already caused the Pac-12's conference website, we fully expect conspiracy theorists to now speculate the deceased rapper is hiding out at this colony.

How to get stronger
2-in-1 Workout: Iron Yoga
Do yoga with weights to build strength and prevent running injuries
Power Poses
Merging simple yoga poses with strength-training exercises challenges the core, hip, and thigh muscles in ways that running doesn't and helps minimize muscle imbalances that may lead to injury. These movements are synced to your breath (inhale or exhale), which keeps you focused and fosters body awareness. Do this routine two or three times a week on your rest, cross-training, or easy days. (Search: What should my training schedule look like?) Start with lighter weights than you'd choose for traditional strength-training. As you improve, increase reps and add sets before trying a heavier weight.

large portions of anything... When cutting I always figure, if I'm only allowed small amounts of food, it may as be small amounts of food I like.
I always hated not being able to eat a good dinner at Thanksgiving.

My brothers and I ate to our hearts' content: our mother would NOT let us cut weight, so we wrestled at "natural" weight. However, one of my brothers was a heavyweight, so it was irrelevant for him anyway.
A big part of me still believes in no to very miminal cutting, even at the collegiate level. If everyone else is cutting, are you gaining an advantage by being "bigger," when everyone else is also "bigger?" Also, wrestling with energy is a hell of a lot better than wrestling with diminished energy.
Yes, I do understand the minimization of body fat part, but I think that my arguments also have some merit.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
During the six years that I was wrestling and cutting weight, I got through the hoildays by promising myself that after my career was over, I could spend the rest of my life eating as much as I wanted to. Sixty pounds later, I've kept that promise.

There was no specific food I missed, I just missed the amounts that I could eat.
I totally agree with Ban on this pint. Wrestlers mentality is that you will always do better dropping weight classes, this worked for me up to a point. If you are in the middle weights and you drop you are losing strength and then giving up quickness and in general facing better athletes.
I also still blame my habit of stuffing my face until I am almost sick on the few years I cut some serious weight.
Same here. I really didn't cut things out, just significantly diminished the portions. End of the season, when the serious weight cutting came in, my calorie intake was next to nothing. Pretty bad now that I think about it, but that's how it was done back then.
I always looked forward to Taco Bell on Saturday nights. I'd dread coming in on Monday and starting from scratch. I learned my lesson after a few months of that and took it easy on the weekends and got a workout on Sunday.
