The Grand Seduction affords us new territory for Brendan Gleeson and Taylor Kitsch and is absolutely worth your amusement.
The Grand Seduction is a remake of the 2003 French-Canadian film, Seducing Doctor Lewis, which won the World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance back in 2003. There have been talks about an English language remake for a decade now and I'm confident in declaring that it was worth the wait. Brendan Gleeson, in one of his more likable and relatable roles, plays Murray French. He's but one of a hundred souls proud to call the Newfoundland harbor town of Tickle Head their home.
The film's prologue is a classically draped remembering of his life as a child: their fathers would go out each night carrying lanterns to their fishing boats in order to earn a living and then come back home to the warmth of their wives. The Tickle Head of today is shed of that romantic and nostalgic lens and is in serious financial trouble. Murray's wife wants a better life, and for that she looks to the city. All the more reason for Murray to rally the harbor-folk together to for a factory to be built in their midst. "What's does the factory make?" an unconvinced denizen asks Murray. "They make jobs." The only catch is that in order to make the cut, Tickle Head needs a doctor. They lure in Dr. Paul Lewis, a recent med school grad who is played by Taylor Kitsch, and so the seducing begins.
It's a fun premise that takes a while to set up, but once the goals are clear and the players are on the field its a blast to watch. They know very little about Dr. Lewis outside of his interest in cricket, which the whole harbor struggles to learn and love before his arrival. They tap his phone to learn more, including his rocky relationship with his girlfriend back home. There's plenty of tricks that Murray and company have up their sleeve. The chaotic planning, risky execution and consequent reaction by Dr. Lewis make for a hilarious formula that delivers throughout.
You couldn't ask for better performances out of the townsfolk. Not only do they look and feel the part, they keep their observations deadpan and their delivery well-timed. Gleeson is perfect as a patriarchal and earnest influencer for both the people of Tickle Head and on Dr. Lewis himself. Kitsch adds another notch to his acting belt with this performance. It's a small-budget dramedy and he plays the part of the flashy new fish in the faded old pond.
What's most telling about the success of The Grand Seduction is that by the end of the movie you'll have been convinced to live in Tickle Head yourself. It may not be possible to return to the golden days of yesteryear, but there is happiness to be found in the humble everyday lives of the working class.

text: Politics 10 September 2011 America's skills crisis carries lessons for Britain There are few US ills that don't owe something to its faltering educational attainment. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Yesterday's FT contained one of those ominous stories that only grow in significance over time - the findings of a survey by Nielsen that reveals a huge, looming skills shortage in the US as the baby boomer generation retires. In the next five years, America's top 100 industrial companies face an average training bill of $100m to fill the gap between these older, retiring workers and the younger, less educated cohort coming through to replace them. It's payday - in a very real sense - for an economy that has long been under-investing in its people. And it's a warning sign to economies like the UK that, when it comes to investing in skills, you can't afford to take your eye off the ball. Despite their modest place on page 22 of the paper, it's hard to overstate the long-term significance of findings like these. The killer reading on the topic is the excellent book by Harvard economists, Claudia Goldin and Larry Katz, The Race Between Education and Technology, which tells the story of America's relationship with education throughout the 20th century. The authors recall the country's early lead in education, achieved by building one of the world's first universal systems of free primary schooling. And they set out how, since the 1970s, that lead has been squandered: the quality of teaching in the country's school system has decayed, high school graduation rates have flat-lined, and too many students - even among those who make it to college - have failed to reach the end of four year degrees. There are few American ills that don't owe something to this faltering of educational attainment. But perhaps the most dramatic consequence has been for the living standards of ordinary American workers. The supply of skilled labour may have slowed, but new technologies wait for no man: advances in computing have only accelerated, making education ever more important in the jobs market. As a result, the returns to skills, at all levels, but particularly at the top, have increased sharply since the 1980s. This increase explains much of the rise in American income inequality in the past 30 years. And even for average workers the results have been dramatic; astonishingly, the real value of wages for the median American worker has barely increased in 30 years. In America's race between education and technology, then, technology has taken a commanding lead. But what does this mean for the UK? For one thing, it means that the jobs package announced yesterday by President Obama carries a lesson for the Chancellor George Osborne. Around 15 per cent of the proposed new spending is to go into education: $25 billion to modernise 35,000 crumbling schools, alongside $35 billion to prevent the layoff of up to 280,000 teachers. Obama has found an approach that targets both the current and future needs of the American workforce. None of this is to say that the Chancellor should be finding new money for our schools, above existing budgets. Happily, the UK school system is in nowhere near the same crumbling state as that in the US. But it does remind us that, when it comes to the supply of skills, we have little room to be complacent. Returns to skills in the UK have continued to rise in the past ten years, both in terms of wage advantages and upward mobility, even while graduate numbers have increased dramatically. Any slowing of educational expansion will likely feed through into higher wage premiums for skills and, from there, into higher income inequality. That matters not just for our long-term economic health but also for the fairness of any eventual recovery.

The intensive Hatha Yoga course is created with the idea to cleanse the mind, deal with our emotions and even change our personalities to become more positive and at peace with ourselves. This can be achieved by slowly changing the complexities and human patterns of behavior, which cause pain and suffering.
As it is an intensive course for 21 days, we have divided it into weekly programs over the course of three weeks.
During this first week you will be participating in regular Yoga and Meditation classes in preparation for week two.
During week two you will go through the following Cleansing and Fasting Diet
Fasting ScheduleFirst day of fasting
Second day of fastingBreakfast – 1 apple, honey lemon water and juice
Third day of fasting
4th Day: Gastro-intestinal flushing
5th Day: Back to normal diet and yoga practice
6th Day: Back to normal diet and yoga practice
7th Day: Back to normal diet and yoga practice
Note: On the Fasting days participant can join in with the Yoga, Meditation and any other activities as far as their energy allows, but on the 3rd day of Fasting you shouldn't force much for the physical activities.
During the third week you will be doing a completely different practice than the regular course. This week is for lots of Yoga practice and self discipline. Seven different lessons will be taught in the seven days, which you will then have to practice each lesson four times a day.
Whole body massage, yoga teaching, accommodation, dinner on the night of your arrival, clean water, breakfast, tea, lunch, snacks and dinner each day (except for those days when you will be Fasting), breakfast prior to departure.

Delicious Curried Sausages
Recipe by Beck Australia
This is a fantastic recipe I got from a cookbook that my brother gave me. When I was growing up my father used to make these delicious curried sausages that the whole family loved. Now that he's advanced in years he can't remember how to make it. Fortunately I found a great recipe that tastes just like it! Now that I am grown and have a family of my own I make the curried sausages for them and they love it too! You can serve them on their own or sometimes I serve them with a side of mashed potatoes and they taste great. Hope you enjoy :-)

"Long awaited appointment with "Best" Ankle..."
About: Addenbrooke's Hospital Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge CB2 0QQ
Posted by Very unhappy mother
I have never experienced such a horrendous outpt appointment as I did with my daughter yesterday. I will be making an official complaint, and this will be supported by our GP, as we explained the farce that we had, which left both myself and my daughter in tears and in shock.
It appears that if you have the name as the best ankle surgeon in Europe you don't need to introduce yourself, you could be anyone, or apologise for keeping you waiting an hour and half. When you have been referred by another surgeon at the same hospital for an operation, you hope that your new consultant knows why you are there- alas this was the beginning of our expectations being shattered, we were greeted with a person saying to us "why are you here?". Another person was hovering in the back ground, no idea who they were, and looked terrified most of the time - they said nothing throughout the whole apt. I tried to explain what I had been told by the previous consultant as to why we were there, and was rewarded with the hand of the consultant going up explaining that they weren't concerned about an abnormal MRI scan. I will be making a formal complaint, as the next few minutes in the apt became farcical, as my daughter was told she was too fat to have any surgery for her ankle, the risks were too high, but not too high for weight loss surgery it appeared, as this was his answer to the problem. they wanted to refer her to yet another pain clinic, the third one in the 2 and half years she has had this problem. Why? She had a pain condition that she got rid of over a year ago was another reason, and that the referral was for his opinion only and nothing more. My daughter broke down in front of both the consultant , the junior and the nurse, and sadly I have to say that it appears that compassion is no longer part of the NHS, as all the nurse did was tell us that we had to book another apt in 4 months, the doctors just walked out after asking my daughter what does she want to do- her reply was "I don't care, I just want to go home".
I was a nurse many years ago, and if someone was crying the very least I would do was offer a box of tissues, and show some compassion.
All they were interested in was getting us out and more people through as they were running so late.
I am ashamed to associate myself to the profession if this is what our nurses are like now. Hard I know, but just a glimmer would have been good as we felt totally lost and confused by this consultants reaction to a referral asking to do an ankle operation.
My daughter is in pain because she has an unstable ankle due to ligament damage, and this consultant has said they will do nothing for her - they left her in pain, distress, confused and shocked - they didn't manage her expectations and simply appeared not to care. I would never go back to this consultant even if this was the best ankle specialist in the world.
Response from Addenbrooke's Hospital nearly 2 years ago
I am very sorry to learn that you and your daughter were so upset during your recent appointment. One of the Trust's core values is kindness, and it is very disappointing to hear that you felt that care and compassion were lacking on this occasion. Please be assured that we will investigate your complaint thoroughly.
Please send your complaint to our complaints department at Box 53, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 0QQ or email email@example.com.
If you have any queries or would like further information about the complaints procedure, please telephone 01223 216756.

Understanding the Spin on the Ball
By Rod Carew
Editor's Note
Rod Carew was voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1991. He won seven American League batting titles and retired with 3,053 career hits. He is one of baseball's most sought-after hitting instructors. A few players who have blossomed under his watchful eye include: Jim Edmonds, Troy Glaus, Garret Anderson, Torii Hunter and Darin Erstad.
The very prospect of picking up the rotation of a baseball only 55 feet away from you normally traveling in excess of 90 mph is quite a daunting task. Not to mention that very few players, especially at the lower levels of the game, know what to look for – even if they are looking.
Reading the spin of different pitches is a science that doesn't come easy. But once you begin to understand it, you're game will show it.
A fastball is offered in two ways – with either the fingers gripping the ball across the seams or gripping the ball with the seams (the former being called a "four-seamer," and the latter being a "two-seamer"). Both pitches share the same trait in that they are spinning upward or toward the pitcher. The upward spin also causes the ball to rise. Perhaps the best way to tell the difference between the two is in color – yes, color – and the amount of rise. A two-seam fastball will appear "lighter" in color because you will see only two seams spinning rather than all four and it will not rise as much as the four-seamer.
When properly thrown, the curveball will sink – just the opposite of the fastball. The downward spin happens when the pitcher comes straight over the top on his release and pulls the ball down. And if you look hard enough, you'll also notice the spin on the curve will appear looser and more visible than the fastball. The reasoning behind this is a pitcher simply can't throw the curve as hard as the fastball. In the case of a pitcher who releases at a three-quarter release, rather than over the top, is that the curve will angle slightly from the 2-o'clock position when thrown by a righty and a the 10-o'clock position when thrown by a lefty.
The slider is a difficult pitch to read because different pitchers throw it from different locations. The largest difference between the slider and the curve is that the slider has a faster spin and has a sudden, horizontal movement. Many batters pick up the optical illusion of a small dot caused by the tight, downward cross-seam spin, which is a helpful tool. Another thing to remember is that it's thrown faster than a curve, but slower than a fastball.
A solid change will always be thrown with the same motion, release point and arm speed as the fastball, with the difference being the velocity. There's also a variation of the pitch, known as the circle change. You'll get the same spin as a fastball, with just less velocity. If you're anxious and try to pull the change, especially if it's on the outside corner, you're going to hit groundouts all day long. The best thing to do is to wait on it and try and hit the ball up the middle. By doing so, even if you pull it, at least the ball will probably go foul.
Every pitch is different in its own way. And learning to read the spin of each is certainly a task that will be difficult. However, it's one worth taking in your quest to become a successful hitter.

Boston was the heart of the revolution, where many of the main events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts occurred.
The Intolerable Acts were laws put in place by the British prime minister in response to the Boston tea party. These were the harshest laws approved by parliament, and they included closing Boston's port which would cost the colonists a lot of money.
The Boston Tea Party was when colonists were so outraged by the Tea Act that the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as native Americans and boarded 3 ships that had crates of tea on them, and dumped 342 crates of tea into the Boston harbor.
The Boston Massacre was when British soldiers shot 5 colonists and killed one. This made the tension grow between the colonists and the soldiers.

Mom's with 3 or more kids... what kind of vehicle do you drive?? Right now I have a F-150 truck but after we have our 3 kids I am wondering if they will all fit in there comfortably... so I am wondering what kind of vehicles you drive and how well you and your kids with car seats fit in there.
I am looking at either a van :/ not really a fan, or an excursion or something big like that... not sure yet we do have a few years but just trying to see what others have...
Sorry, I am no help on this one. I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer and I don't think three car seats would fit well in the back of it.
Well I don't have 3 kids yet but I was one of 3 growing up. I remember we had a single cab pickup for years. My parents bought a seat for the bed of the truck and had it installed and bolted to the floor and then had seat belts done the same way. It was a tight fit but we made it work.
Comment deleted
Actually it's not because we had a canopy so technically it was not an open bed. Plus we had the seats and seatbelt installed by a mechanic so it was and still is legal. Crazy huh?
I drive Toyota RAV 4 that seats five. It does provide enough space, not sure about 3 car seats fit, but 2 + a booster will fit with no problem.
I have A toyota Rav 4 too!
Comment deleted
I had a Saturn Vue before I had my current car. I miss that thing! Best trunk area space EVER without it being a big bulky vehicle.
I have a six year old and a baby due 1-6-15 I drive a Mitsubishi outlander. You can easily fit three kids in the back and it has a lot for trunk space for strollers, diaper bags, sports bags, groceries and whatever else you put in your car.
I would assume a roomy SUV could fit a family of 3's needs.. those with an extended row?
Have you looked at a Tahoe? Those have tons of room!!
I drive a 15 passenger van, it's a Chevy Express 3500 and we bought it when I was pregnant with #7, we have had it for three years now and I love it. The only disadvantage is it doesn't get very good gas mileage but other than that I love it.
WOW Props to you for all your wonderful kids :)
We have a GMC Sierra, and it's very spacious with three car seats. :)
I like the suv's myself. Some are really roomy!
I have 5 cars so i get my family to pick 3 of them up some dont have cars so they use mine.

Plant-Based Bioserie iPhone Cases
These iPhone Cases Are Made From Plants!
Have you ever used an iPhone case and suddenly become completely obsessed with it? That's what just happened to me with the unassuming Bioserie iPhone cover. At first look, it's no different than any other snap-on case, but after using it for two weeks, I can say with authority that it's my favorite iPhone case ever. First, the case is made from bioplastic, which is completely plant-based; even its packaging is made from eco-friendly materials that won't harm the environment after you toss them. Secondly, it's extremely lightweight but still durable and protective. And finally, the case's texture makes it easy to hold onto without a flashy design or crazy texture that looks anything but mature.
The cases are available for both iPhone 4 and iPhone 3 and 3GS for $35. You can also pick up a Bioserie case for your 5th generation iPod Nano ($30), 2nd and 3rd Generation iPod Touch ($35), and soon, the iPad.
