Being surprised by a movie is one of the unique joys that cinema can offer, a feeling that is nearly impossible to replicate elsewhere. Every time we watch a movie we're investing something, usually a healthy (or unhealthy) portion of time and money, and the hope is that we'll have a return on this investment in the form of being entertained, feeling feelings, and receiving inspiration. With this comes expectations that we tend to wish will be fulfilled, which is often where genre comes into play: the anticipation that because we're seeing a science fiction or western or horror movie (or the surprise of an animated movie, like Up, featuring possibly the most elegant tear-jerker sequences ever conceived), a certain set of familiar concepts and sensibilities will come across.
There is pleasure in having these desires fulfilled, but also in having them be upended or subverted without warning. Movies that make this subversive tendency the point of their existence can be incredibly powerful. Some are more subtle about teasing expectations for us to latch onto and then taking us in a different direction completely. And there are lots of movies where this happens in one scene, where we think we know where a movie is going until a particular moment or set of moments gets thrown at us and we become disoriented or stunned in silence and pause. This can occur in the very beginning of a movie or at the very end, but its effect is profound no matter where it pops up. Even if it's incredible subtle and beautifully underplayed, those surprising scenes or moments make us sit up in our chairs and take note that this is not the movie we were expecting. In the best instances, that's an exciting realization.
Here are 13 movies that completely shift gears before our eyes over the course of a single scene.

1) Killing Them Softly
Killing Them Softly is a movie everyone should probably revisit, including myself, because it doesn't completely make sense until literally its final moment. The bulk of the movie works to give a vague sense of things it's trying to do, casting James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta in roles that are meant to evoke their previous portrayals of hard gangsters and then proceeding to completely invert those perceptions of these men in this new American environment. On top of that there's some of the best sound of any movie in the last year, making the violence real and painful for us to watch, another signal that this was a movie being made in the spirit of the 1970s gangster movies but with a contemporary sense of realism.
Brad Pitt delivers the closing monologue of the movie though, and it's a wonderful scene, concluding rather abruptly but this just adds to its perfection, the timing of that last cut providing just the right punctuation for the final words he speaks. The thematic intentions of the movie don't seem quite as obvious to me as they apparently did to other viewers, but I think it's because many of its signals are obvious even if their meanings are more obscure, and so people interpreted this as a lack of subtlety. The last scene is key, I think, to clarifying the point of all these obvious details. It's blatantly juxtaposed with the hopeful message being delivered on a television by Barack Obama, intended to emphasis the lofty nature of the newly elected president's words with the disastrous state of the country's economy. Likewise, Pitt's character essentially points out that the romanticized view of gangster life is yet another American myth that runs counter to the reality of how both realms, politics and crime, tend to work: as a cynical business. All of a sudden, the movie is as clear as day, but only in retrospect—a neat little trick by under-appreciated director Andrew Dominik.
You can check out the scene in full below if you're interested in watching, or re-watching it.

2) Sideways
Alexander Payne's work was pretty well regarded before Sideways, but in 2004 that movie took his reputation to another level. Here we had one of the funniest movies of the year that was also a surprisingly sweet story of friendship and a heartfelt counterargument to curmudgeonhood. The film moves along nicely, laying the groundwork of the relationship between the Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church characters, as well as their individual motivations, with Giamatti's Miles taking center stage as the jaded writer seeking refuge in his own pretensions. The two are so different in their interests and sensibilities that there's a good portion of the movie where we're left to wonder why they're even friends in the first place, or more specifically, why Miles would even continue to hang out with Jack.
Then Jack has his big scene, and to paraphrase Nick Frost, the shit gets real. Jack leaves his wallet behind after hooking up with a waitress, and his wedding rings with it. Up to this point Jack doesn't have too many redeeming qualities aside from being amusing and generally good-natured. But in this one scene, we see him completely break down, expressing his need to retrieve those rings so he can maintain his relationship with his fiancée. It runs counter to everything he's been saying up to this point in the film, but he does it with such vulnerability and desperation that we can help but feel the deepest sympathy for him. He's an idiot but how can you not feel for someone in such a pathetic state? A perfectly-timed cutaway to Giamatti's softening face drives the emotion of the scene home, and makes the rest of the movie matter even more, which in turn makes it more absurd and funny, all thanks to this simple yet devastating scene.

3) Zero Dark Thirty
There are actually a number of moments in Zero Dark Thirty where I suddenly realized it wasn't the movie I thought it was going to be, and they were all, upon reflection, brilliant choices made by writer Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow. The first moment that makes you sit up in your seat comes in the black screen opening, where we're sitting in a pitch dark theater just listening to horrific sounds of 9/11. This is something of a stage-setter, an immediate attention grabber and heart stopper, but the scene that made me realize what kind of movie this was came in its second act, when Mark Strong makes an appearance that shakes up the CIA staff he's addressing as well as the audience watching them get ripped apart for their failures.
You can talk at length about the way this scene reinforces the stakes for these analysts in their intelligence battles against al Qaeda, or the way it reiterates the context of all the actions Maya and her superiors have undertaken to this point. These are important features of the scene, reasons it's so important in terms of the movie's plot. The sheer crafting and staging of the scene stand out for me most of all. Mark Strong's impassioned monologue is of course a powerfully delivered speech on its own. It not only conveys the urgency of their quest but expresses the frustration that comes with the challenges of fighting (and at this point in their minds, losing to) an enemy they still don't fully understand. The single greatest detail in this scene, for me, is that every single person in the room is staring at the table while they're being violently verbally chastised by their supervisor—everyone except for Maya. She turns and looks him in the eye. Because in addition to being the smartest person in the room, she's also the toughest. From this point on, the hunt is intensified, and if we were able to take our eyes off the film before, we definitely can't anymore.

4) The Cabin in the Woods
The Cabin in the Woods has to be one of the most delightfully surprising mainstream movies of the last ten years, an unexpected gem of a film that came out of nowhere last year and amazed audiences with its self-awareness and incisive takedown of some of the worst offenders in the world of horror clichés. Like a lot of people, I went into it the first time knowing little about it aside from the promotional campaign that promised a fairly typical slasher movie. I didn't even know about Joss Whedon's involvement until just before seeing it, and I dismissed this detail as an anomaly because there was nothing in the images or trailers or speculation that I had come across to indicate something as satirical and gratifying as the movie ended up being.
The first giveaway for me had to be the opening scene of the movie, which on first viewing feels so out of place that one has to raise at least one eyebrow while watching it. It consists of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford, two fairly recognizable character players who don't exactly make a habit of appearing in dumb movies, having the most banal conversation imaginable. Then, all of a sudden, their dull back and forth is interrupted by a loud classic horror sound as the title bursts onto the screen. This is not normal. It was enough to induce laughs, and more importantly to immediately pique immense curiosity. What the hell was that scene in there for? The first act of the movie progresses and for a while we forget about these two technician guys, until more and more of the details of this Facility are revealed and the opening scene becomes all the more poignant. We may consciously forget it for a while, but it's in the back of our minds even as we're being introduced to the dumb characters who will end up going to the titular cabin. It sets the stage for a movie unlike any we've seen before, and announces itself in a way that fits the distinct and rather brilliant tone of the film with perfection. And the rest is just gravy.

5) 50/50
Nothing quite captures shit getting real like cancer. As healthy as it can be to use humor to mask the fear and sorrow cancer produces, there comes a point when there's too much sadness and too much scariness to ignore. For as light as 50/50 is most of the time, it recognizes the need to face the reality of every aspect of Adam's life—his disease, his friends, his strained relationship with his mother—in one powerful scene. Much of the movie subtly lays the groundwork for this theme that Adam's cancer is a burden that he shares with the people around him even though he may not know it, and even though the weight may not be split halfway; at the hospital, just before Adam's surgery, this is all made crystal clear, and it's heart-wrenching.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt to this point of the film has played the balance between taking his illness in stride and distracting himself from his potentially grim fate pretty deftly, and this scene, which almost takes the form of a subtle breakdown alleviated by the presence of his mother, turns as quickly as it ought. Sitting in the hospital bed, everything starts to move too fast for Adam, too fast for him to get out the questions he suddenly has as the anesthetic clocks ticks forward, and his feelings of pure fear are encapsulated in his weakened call: "Mom?" So we, too, are left with no more distractions, or signs that this is anything except for what it is. And that's terrifying, and painful. It puts the rest of the movie's humor in perspective, and it makes the conclusion more effective and emotionally satisfying.

6) 127 Hours
I know a number of people who absolutely refuse to watch 127 Hours because they assume it consists of an hour and a half of torturous scenes culminating in a gruesome one involving a man severing off his own arm. And that's sort of what it is, essentially. I don't know how much I thought of it up to the climactic moment of that scene with the knife. It was effective, and surprisingly engaging for consisting mostly of a dude in a hole, but pretty excruciating for the most part, in probably a good way. But it was the ending (seen in the clip below) that got to me, and it was perhaps a scene that only Danny Boyle could pull off in that kind of way.
The typical purpose of movies like 127 Hours, to be a tad simplistic, is to put us in the protagonist's shoes, to experience the emotions that they are feeling from scene to scene. We feel a bit distant to James Franco's Aron Ralston at first, as he's portrayed as a bit of a likeable weirdo, but we're soon in the shit with him, grimacing at his attempts to break free from his predicament, and cringing over watching through our hands as he takes the most extreme action he could possibly take. The euphoria after he escapes the cave, a mixture of delirium from exposure and blood loss and god knows what else he would be going through after such an ordeal, as well as relief at the prospect of still being alive, the cathartic sequence where he's finally saved is more than satisfying. It's essential. It's a celebration of triumph at great cost, and an acknowledgement of the nightmare that has ended, depicted in a frantic and jarring and wonderful way by Boyle. It turns it from a very good film to a truly great one.

7) Inglourious Basterds
I'm always surprised that Inglourious Basterds isn't universally regarded as Quentin Tarantino's singular masterpiece. I would have thought more people would have seen it the way I have come to think of it, as his most mature and coherently realized piece of work to date, although Django Unchained comes close. There's an undeniably cool and stylistically exciting aspect to his work before Basterds, which came to define his unique brand of filmmaking, Pulp Fiction being the quintessential example of a Tarantino movie. All these movies, from Reservoir Dogs to Kill Bill, were important, but I think of them as stepping stones to the achievement of Basterds. Everything I'm trying to describe is captured in the film's prologue scene.
It was as if someone said something to Tarantino, the way Andy Kaufman is told that the key to comedy is silence in Man on the Moon, that inspired a revelation. He was known for indulgence in all his work that came before, but from the very first moments in Basterds, we see that he has decided to trade that tactic in for a brand new one: restraint. The tension throughout this movie makes No Country for Old Men's tensest moments seem like Home Alone by comparison. And perhaps the most masterfully composed tension comes in the opening scene, orchestrated with the assistance of a virtuosic and eccentric performance by Christoph Waltz. Tarantino has never felt so deliberate, and starting out with a scene like this makes every detail of a movie feel important. It's not that his priority of making stuff cool in his previous movies wasn't terrific and brilliant, but here we see him taking a huge chance in trying something different, and exercising some different directorial muscles, and the result is some of the finest filmmaking of the past decade.

8) Burn After Reading
Speaking of No Country for Old Men, we have to talk more about the Coen brothers. For some reason, something in me clicked when I watched the ending of Burn After Reading, not only for 'getting' the movie itself, but possibly finally understanding the entire filmography of directors Joel and Ethan Coen. I've always responded far more to the Coens' comedies like The Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona than to their dramas, so I naturally found Burn After Reading a delightful picture from start to finish. The ending, though, summed up the movie so well that it may have also defined their whole cinematic philosophy at the same time.
The CIA director played by J.K. Simmons asks his colleague, "What did we learn, Palmer?" They can't identify a single lesson. "Not to do it again, I guess," they conclude. But then they admit that they don't even know exactly what they did. The film ends on the line "Jesus f**king Christ." It's a movie where characters do dumb things for seemingly no reason, and are then screwed by the consequences. They all reap what they sow, except of course when they don't. For years I was looking for some sort of moral point to Coen movies, and settled on the unsatisfactory explanation on greed that Frances McDormand gives in Fargo. But this brief dialogue, which mirrors the conclusion of No Country, finally explains: there is no point. Money motivates people, but no one ever learns from the problems it causes. People act out of selfishness, but even though this can lead to incredible suffering, there's no real hope for this changing. And sometimes just random shit happens. There's no real explanation for it. We see this again in A Serious Man. But this final scene in Burn After Reading made everything clear somehow, to hilarious and elucidating effect.

9) Once
Once is the only movie I can think of that essentially won an Academy Award for a single scene. And it was undoubtedly well deserved. I've read interviews with Richard Linklater describing his motivation for making Before Sunrise, that it was his attempt, being inspired by his own experience, to capture the feeling of a deep connection with a person you've just met. He spent an entire movie on depicting the series of moments that can generate this powerful feeling in two people, and then two more movies further exploring the implications of pursuing that feeling. Director John Carney along with collaborating players Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova accomplishes this over the course of one scene, and one film.
The moment and scene comes during the second encounter between the nameless Guy and Girl characters. Leading up to their walk to the local music store, there isn't a lot to latch onto in the movie; we're introduced to each of the characters, focusing more on the Guy, and they don't leave the strongest of impressions. He seems reasonably interesting, and their first encounter feels authentic. Then they travel to the music store, and start playing together, and it produces some sort of magic. We don't fully understand the emotions they're feeling in that moment just yet, though we learn more later about what they may have been reacting to then. The music they make together is the kind that you immediately recognize as inspired, and for the first time the movie feels like it's bursting with life. It may be something of a metaphor for the movie's setting, or for musicians in general, or for the personal connection it depicts—that beneath a drab surface is a colorful and beautiful sound waiting to emerge. The glow from this scene can't help but still over into the remainder of the film.

10) In Bruges
Like Cabin in the Woods, In Bruges was one of the most surprisingly popular movies in the year of its release. Its element of surprise contains even more layers, however; while a story about two hitmen on a job doesn't scream comedy, we quickly understand that that's what we're watching, until we're confronted with the fact that this is also a beautiful and tragic story about two friends forced to come to terms with decisions they've made and the consequences thereof. So it oscillates between weird black comedy and gripping tragedy without really skipping a beat, occupying some strange state of limbo between the two moods and being perfectly comfortable existing there. The tragedy is alluded to in the exploration of Colin Farrell's character's backstory, but we're finally exposed to the depths of their relationship, and the loyalty of the Brendan Gleeson character, in his final act of defiant sacrifice, a shock of a moment in a movie that has felt up to this point like it could go in any direction but it was still impossible to see this coming.Previous Next
11) The Place Beyond The Pines
Derek Cianfrance burst onto the indie scene with 2010's Blue Valentine, a bold and experimentally-minded endeavor that followed the story of a couple over the course of several years. It's a larger narrative than love stories (or anti-love stories) tend to allow, not to mention far more emotionally real and resonant, and yet it's nothing compared to the immense scope of The Place Beyond the Pines.
Given that it was a relatively quick followup to Blue Valentine (his only feature previous to that one was made back in 1998), Cianfrance's new project was the subject of great anticipation, especially because he seemed to be developing a rapport with Ryan Gosling, one of the Hollywood's biggest contemporary draws. Despite the anticipation, little seemed to be known about the movie's actual story, which also featured roles played by Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Ben Mendelsohn, Ray Liotta, Dane DeHaan, and Rose Byrne, although given the quality of the cast, it would have been safe to assume that it would be something of an ensemble picture.
And yet it was still rattling beyond measure when one pivotal scene essentially repudiates all the promotional material that made it seem as though this was primarily Ryan Gosling's, and the character Luke's, movie. It's the big confrontation between Luke and Avery, played by Bradley Cooper, and what happens between them goes without saying. It's a moment that has a ripple effect on the lives of characters spanning across generations, and one that forced the audience to recalibrate their expectations for the remainder of the film.
More and more I'm coming to appreciate the value of a wonderfully executed movie scene. When it's done to near perfection as the aforementioned scenes are, it can salvage an otherwise uninteresting movie, elevate a movie from being just good to being excellent, or solidify a movie's status as a masterpiece. Nothing else is quite like the experience of a scene that completely transfixes an audience in a full theater. The best movies are more than a sum of their parts, but sometimes a part of a movie can overwhelm and make up for or enhance the strength of the perceived whole. These are the kinds of surprising moments that make the unpredictability of any movie one of the purest joys of watching.

12) Sightseers
When we start watching this dark comedy – written by its two leads, Alice Lowe and Steve Oram – we're watching a slow-burn psycho-drama. Child-like Tina is excited to be leaving her over-bearing, passive-aggressive, demanding mother for a week, as her new boyfriend, Chris, takes her caravanning round the sights of rural England. Chris is a caravanning expert who is writing a book, and is excited to broaden the horizons of his compliant, doe-eyed lover.
Stopping first at a tramway museum, however, Chris begins to reveal a disturbing edge to his amiable personality, as he confronts a persistent litter bug. When he eventually kills him with his caravan in the car park, we feel as though we have the measure of this film, and expect to watch an impressionable young woman slowly realise that she is, in fact, on a road trip with a serial killer. Nothing could be further from the truth in terms of what this film has in store, though.
Killing another man in short order, Chris quickly confesses his crimes to Tina, and kills another man in front of her. Though she appears to be disturbed, she doesn't spend a vast amount of time questioning his actions, and instead, they continue on their holiday – giving us the impression that Tina is compliant due to the trauma of what she has witnessed. Stopping at a restaurant for a romantic meal, the couple find themselves sharing the eatery with a bachelorette party, who become louder and more obnoxious as the evening draws on. Returning from the bathroom, Tina finds the bride-to-be locked in a passionate embrace with Chris, as a party dare.
As the audience, we imagine that Tina is now processing this into the same part of her traumatised mind as the discovery that she is trapped on the road with a killer, and the image of him bludgeoning a man to death. On the contrary, however, the film spins on its axis and follows her outside as she follows the bride-to-be. Deeply offended by her behaviour, Tina shoves the betrothed woman over a set of railings and down a sheer drop – cracking open her skull, like a watermelon.
From this point on, we see Tina fully embrace their joint status as serial killers, to the extent that she terrifies Chris – the man we thought was the scary character in the first place. That single scene flips their perceived dynamic entirely, as she begins to reveal herself to be more of a monster than he is. The joy of this brilliant film thereafter comes from his gradual realisation that he is out of depth in a situation where he assumed he would be calling all the shots. The arrogance that he displayed at the beginning of the film is slowly chipped away as he comes to accept that, while he may be the caravanning expert, he is now just a passenger on this dark and unnerving sightseeing trip.

13) From Dusk Till Dawn
Though we know, going in, that the movie will present brothers Seth and Richie Gecko with 'one hell of a night', nothing really prepares us for the scene in which that night takes a decided turn for the worse.
The Gecko Brothers are bank robbers, and are in the midst of a job gone terribly wrong, when their paths cross with the Fuller family and their sizeable RV. Seth (George Clooney) is the relatively reasonable and dominant brother to Richie's (Quentin Tarantino) bumbling psychopath. The Fullers are religious, though they are led by patriarch Pastor Jacob, whose faith is in crisis having lost his beloved wife. Taking the family hostage inside their RV, the Gecko Brothers demand that the Fullers smuggle them across the border into Mexico – to a bar named 'The Titty Twister' – where they are due to meet their criminal cohort, Carlos, at dawn.
The two leaders – Seth and Jacob – come to a begrudgingly respectful understanding, and the group settle in for the evening. They drink heavily, and enjoy the live entertainment – in particular that provided by dancer Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek). Their already challenging situation is made worse when the doorman – who the brothers had earlier brutally beaten – returns with some friends and stabs Richie Gecko in an already wounded hand.
The film, thus far, has been punctuated with acts of violence. The Gecko Brothers have left behind them a trail of corpses stretching all the way back to the bank that they robbed in the first place, and have been trading on the threat of violence throughout. The whole endeavour is threaded with the sense that things may spiral even further out of control at any moment – it just takes the wrong kind of glance in Richie Gecko's direction. But now, their bluff has been called, and they quickly discover that they are very much out of their depth. The Gecko Brothers are dangerous, sure – but as Santanico Pandemonium stands before them, transforming into a vampire at the sight of Richie's blood – they realise that the intimidating characters in this bar at a whole other level.
The scene not only transforms the all the regulars in the bar – including the band – but also the film itself. It changes from an excellent heist/road movie, to a brilliant horror – as the bank robbers and their hostages are suddenly forced into an unlikely alliance against the undead predators that have them surrounded. As the battle finds them being picked off one by one, it becomes a race to see who will survive til dawn – at which point, we can barely remember the fact that the movie we started watching was a different beast entirely.Previous

Excerpt from the magazine:
On a Whale's Tail: Orca Research
University of Miami undergrad Rachel Pausch spent two months of her 2011 summer with a dog that had a nose for whale poop. They cruised around Puget Sound looking for orca pods while she was a research intern for the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean; the UW-based group studies endangered whales around the San Juan Islands. The team's black Labrador retriever would bark when it caught a whiff of orca poo, and the boat would move close enough to collect whale feces samples to analyze for stress-hormone levels. "Seeing whales every day was amazing," Pausch says. "Every time I saw their dorsal fins rise to the surface it was like seeing them for the first time." The internship was paid, but the biggest draw for her was working alongside a wide spectrum of research scientists—and getting up close to sea life. The rewards for Tucker the black lab were simpler: a ball on a rope and a profile in The New York Times. —Dameon Matule

Summary: If ever there was a time when I felt that 'watcher-of-the-skies-when-a-new-planet' stuff, it was when I read the first Flashman ."- P.G. Wodehouse Fraser revives Flashman, a caddish bully from Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes, and relates Flashman's adventures after he is expelled in drunken disgrace from Rugby school in the late 1830s. Flashy enlists in the Eleventh Light Dragoons and is promptly sent to India and Afghanistan, where despite his consistently cowardly behavior he always manages to come out on top. Flashman is an incorrigible anti-hero for the ages. This humorous adventure book will appeal to fans of historical fiction, military fiction, and British history as well as to fans of Clive Cussler, James Bond, and The Three Musketeers. Flashman is the first book of the famous "Flashman Papers" series.

The state fire marshal is also part of the investigation.

Anonymous said: I recently bought two dress shirts online. They are high quality and fit me well everywhere-- except their collars are *way* too large. I can put my whole fist between my neck and the collar! My ties don't tie properly, and the front billows out sloppily. My question is this: Can a tailor easily bring in a collar? Thank you!
That's really tough man. Making the collar smaller would affect so many other measurements on the shirt. You can ask your tailor, but my answer is to either return them or try and sell them.

Congestion In My Chest & Shortness Of Breath

I felt a heaviness in my chest & alittle shortness of breath (all of which is very unsettling) I do have a history of pneumonia & this summer had a mild cardio infraction. Not sure of what was going on I thought I'd try my oils first. I put orange on my ring finger & toe (left hand & foot) then Raven on my chest, back of neck & under my nose.
Within 3-4 minutes the shortness of breath disappeared, 10 minutes later the heaviness in my chest was gone! I didn't feel like my chest was congested but after applying the oils I could feel a definite difference. I did the same application 4 hours later just to be on the safe side. Young Living oils are such a blessing.

Everyone raise a glass of pimp juice for the return of The Crunkfather, Lil Jon!
The video for Jay Sean's current Top 20 hit "Do You Remember"—which features Jon as well as Sean Paul on vocals—premiered today on Vevo, and the three-and-a-half minute clip plays like an homage to both Lionel Richie's street-party classic "All Night Long" and Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel."
"I met Sean at the red carpet for the MTV VMAs and he came up to me and he liked my music," Jay told Idolator at last week's KIIS-FM Jingle Ball concert in Los Angeles. "I was like, 'Listen I've got the song for you,' I sent it off to him, he did the same thing, sent it back—he was in Jamaica, I was in New York—but we did it and I was so, so happy."
"Do You Remember" is the follow-up to Sean's breakthrough hit in the States, "Down," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this fall. See the video for "Do You Remember" after the jump!

The foreign spouses of Singaporeans here could potentially be a talent source to be tapped on to reduce the country's dependence on foreign labour, said Yeo Guat Kwang, chairman of the Migrant Workers' Centre.
In a report by Channel News Asia, Yeo said: "At the moment, all our employers are looking to other countries with the help of intermediaries to bring in foreign workers. But in fact, in Singapore, many locals have foreign spouses."
"At the moment, all our employers are looking to other countries with the help of intermediaries to bring in foreign workers. But in fact, in Singapore, many locals have foreign spouses," he explained. "We will also request for MOM to provide the similar level of training support for the foreign spouses to help them because they give us Singaporean children, and they are with Singaporeans."
There are already schemes by the Ministry of Manpower to help foreign spouses find work in Singapore, he adds.
For example, they are not subjected to quotas, restrictions from country source, and do not need to pay any levies when they apply for work permits.
On a separate note, Yeo also said that the government should strive to focus on quality not quantity when it comes to foreign workers. He commented that the Ministry ought to set a minimum qualification requirement for those seeking work permit renewals.
A better-skilled workforce would be more productive and cost-efficient for the economy, and less prone to abuse, he explained.
He said that in the last three years, he has seen a sharp spike in the number of distressed foreign workers – from 1,200 to 1,500 a year. Most of them are low-skilled and vulnerable to exploitation.

Remove User from Dashboard doesn't Remove their Profile/Activity
I noticed today while going through some members that removing users from the Dashboard doesn't seem to remove their profiles or their activity. You can still see them in the member's list on the website etc.
If I go straight through the front-end of the website – by clicking on their profile then at the top of the screen selecting "Admin Options" and "Remove User" then the profile goes away.
Is this a known bug? What do you think could be causing the dashboard "remove user" ability not delete their profiles?

adidas Originals Superstar EMW
September 4th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | No comments
Several noteworthy Superstar designs have come from adidas' Far East connections, whether it's bold animal print styles, Japanese collaborations or designs borrowed from an earlier Chinese partnership. The latest has some of that last energy on full display, though it's not entirely clear for what the trailing acronym on the adidas Originals Superstar EMW stands. Something like a Stripe-less take on the kzkLOT Superstar 80s Breathe, these mostly mesh shelltoes opt for understated branding and bold white contrast stitching on black and brown pairs. You can see how these compare against the established Superstar library in more photos below, and stick with Sneaker News to see if they make it to US retailers.

A 12-year-old boy has died after being shot by his 16-year-old brother, according to investigators with the Orlando Police Department.
This shooting happened at 9950 Portofino Dr, in the Nona Crest Subdivision, in Orlando's Lake Nona area.
The boy was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. An initial investigation has led detectives to believe that the shooting was an accident and the teenager will not face any charges.
"Detectives will be meeting at a later date with the State Attorneys Office to discuss the case and decide if there is any negligence," said Orlando Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jim Young. "The family is fully cooperating with the investigation; however, they are requesting privacy."
This is the second time this week that a child has been shot in an accidental shooting. A 4-year-old Pine Hills boy remains in critical condition after finding a gun and shooting himself in the head on Wednesday. Police are still trying to figure out how the child got a hold of a loaded gun.

Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer Can't Keep Their Babies' Sexes a Secret Forever
It's been a little over two months since they welcomed their twins, but as of today, they haven't announced their names or revealed whether they are boys or girls. But now it looks as though Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer may have unintentionally revealed the sexes of their babies.
Based on this photo that was taken of the True Blood stars out for a stroll with their twins, a subtle clue they probably overlooked before heading out may have spilled their secret, or at least it appears that way.
Zoom in for a closer look -- do you see the hint to the babies' genders that they may have overlooked?
Yep -- one baby is covered with a blanket with pink seahorses on it, and the other's blanket has bumblebees as its pattern. And this can only mean one thing, right? Anna and Stephen are the proud parents of a baby boy and a baby girl.
And if the photo isn't enough to convince you that Anna and Stephen each have a mini-me, a source close to the couple also told Life & Style, "They had a boy and a girl and thought that was perfect."
Ok, so now that the cat is most likely out of the bag, don't you think it's about time for these two to fess up and let us have a glimpse of their adorable offspring? All of their fans are so happy for them, and we all want to share in their joy by hearing their names and seeing their cute little faces.
And yes, I realize that when they choose to reveal their babies is totally up to them, and they deserve privacy just as any other parents do. But at some point, they're going to have to realize that they are celebrities, and at some point, the paparazzi are going to catch a clear shot of these kids and spill the beans before they have a chance to officially announce them to the public.
Wouldn't it be better for them to go ahead and get it over with instead of waking up one day and finding their precious twins plastered on the cover of a tabloid? No matter how you look at it, they can't keep the babies a secret forever -- so hopefully they'll let us see them sometime in the near future.
Do you think it's strange that Anna and Stephen are so reluctant to give out any information about their twins?

I like it when celebrities sell the first photos and then donate the money. It's really up to them what they choose to do but I can't imagine that keeping the secret is easy or fun. I kinda wish people would give them a little time to themselfs (that's for all celbs in general.)

dirtiekittieNovember 15, 2012 at 10:38 AM
i don't think it's all that strange. pre-true blood, neither actors were exactly hogging up the spotlight trying to get their faces all over magazines. if anything, these two come across as one of the more sincere and genuine couples in hollywood. congrats on their babies and i'm sure we'll see them soon enough! :)

riadolphNovember 15, 2012 at 10:54 AM
I don't think that's strange, I think it's smart. Sure, the babies may have famous parents, but it sounds like they're doing this to give their children as normal a life as they can, keeping them out of the spotlight as much as possible. I say, good for them!!

sarahNovember 15, 2012 at 10:57 AMi say levae them alone. the babies are not famous. no wars will end because of the public knowing their names or genders. do we not have anything else more important to worry about?

RhondaVeggieNovember 15, 2012 at 11:52 AMBumblebees sound gender neutral to me too. They could also be using various blankets just to screw with people. For all we know Anna could be sitting reading this and saying "Hey babe, it worked! They think Johnny is a girl!"

HistoryMamaX3November 15, 2012 at 12:03 PM
They could be like me and would grab whatever blanket was nearest to toss over the carseat and head out... my boys were covered with all sorts of wild blankets and patterns.

While we want to know it's up to them when, where, etc. they reveal. If anyone remembers correctly Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman kept their two older kids fairly sheltered for a long time.

The Sam Can: Boston craft beer experts weigh in on Samuel Adams' decision to can their beer
After years of brandishing the bottle as the best way to package premium beer, Samuel Adams will jump on a trend embraced by hundreds of craft brewers and start shelling out canned beer.
The Boston-based brewery announced today that "Sam Cans," the result of two years worth of ergonomic and sensory testing, will be on shelves by early summer.
"In the past, I had my doubts about putting Sam Adams in a can because I wasn't convinced that Boston Lager would taste as good as it does from a bottle. But cans have changed. And I believe we've designed a can that provides a slight but noticeably better drinking experience than the standard beer can," Jim Koch, founder of Samuel Adams said in a statement.
Thousands of people weighed in after the brewery made the announcement on social media, and while a good number of Sam fans were on board with cans, the majority of beer lovers said they did not approve.
"You will ruin the ambiance and the taste and classiness of the beer," beer drinker John Curran said on Samuel Adams' Facebook page.
But according to local craft beer experts, breweries are moving away from the sleazy, shotgun stigma attached to canned beers.
"A big issue has always been the association of canned beer with party drinks like Bud Light. Craft beer makers didn't want to associate with the light beers," said Jeff Wharton, co-founder of Boston brew club, Drink Craft Beer. "Bottles have been seen as the best way to package beer, but in reality that is more of a perception."
Experts contend that canning beer does not compromise the taste, and actually protects the beverage from getting "skunked" by blocking out sunlight. The portability and durability of cans is also a huge draw for consumers.
A common can complaint is a "tinny" flavor when drinking beer out of a can, but drinkers should snow that craft beers are meant to be classed up with a glass.
"If you're pouring it into a glass, it should taste the same," said Chris Furnari, editor of industry watcher Brewbound.com. "That's not to say that if you're going on a hike or to the beach you won't drink it from the can, because you will, but that' s why (Sam Adams) designed the Sam Can so that if consumers are going to drink it from the can they will have the best possible experience."
Koch said he consulted experts while designing the Sam Can, which will feature a flared lip and wider top for "a smoother, more comfortable overall drinking experience."
According to Brewbound.com, sales of canned craft beer have skyrocketed in the last few years, from $1.2 million in 2008 to $13 million by July 2012, and Craftcans.com tallies the number of canning breweries in the U.S. at 249.
"Its getting a lot bigger and it kind of makes sense," said Wharton. "You're going to see more and more of it happening. Cans can go a lot of places that glass just can't."

There are four helicopters dropping water and flame retardant on the fire, trip after trip, for most of the daylight hours.
Four air tanker planes arrived Sunday to spread water and flame retardant in larger amounts.
A special plane flies the area after dark nearly every night, utilizing infrared technology to map the fire — the largest wild-land use fire in U.S. history.
In short, there's a lot of activity on the North Fork.
The 200+ people who have left their homes and families in many other states to work the Gunbarrel Fire eat, shower, and sleep in the camp near the ranger station. Taxpayers aren't footing the bill for fancy hotels and cushy beds.
They do their jobs, at the risk of injury or worse.
Only two days ago a fire spokesperson said, "It is neither safe, nor effective, to try to stop the fire's spread directly. The terrain is too steep and complex, the weather is too dry and periodically windy, and there are too many dead trees. Instead, time and money are being focused where they can be useful, near houses and other improvements."
Now suppression, at least on the east end, will begin.
With the only property losses so far a single doghouse and an unoccupied Forest Service property, firefighters' hard work so far appears to have been successful.
The price tag of course is high, and climbing. With the new goals, the price will rise faster than ever. But at a cost to date of $117 per acre, the money is well spent.

References: Psalm 30Today on Changed by the Word, we conclude our topic of turning mourning into dancing. Bruce Sofia shares with us that when things don't always go our way, when our ememies seem to prevail over our lives that there is only one way we should seek to overcome the struggles we face in our lives. Stay tuned to today's broadcast for how God wants us to seek these answers.
Series: Turning Mourning into Dancing
For A Gift of Any Amount:
When difficult and seemingly unexplainable circumstances happen in life - tornados, earthquakes, cancer, drug overdose, people with mental or physical challenges, divorce and more - we tend to ask God, "Why?".
In this 2-part sermon, "Where Was God When...?", Bruce Sofia explains how we can best respond to the tragic events that occur in our lives. He also addresses "Where does evil comefrom?" Finally, in exploring God's attributes, we learn that when we change the question from WHY to HOW (do I respond...), we lay hold of that deep settled peace, which guards our minds and hearts in Christ Jesus.
For a donation of any amount, we will send you a copy of the sermon, "Where Was God When...?". Contact us today!

Thomaz Cocchiarali Bellucci (born December 30, 1987 in Tietê), a professional tennis player, is the top ranked Brazilian tennis player. He currently holds a career high ranking of #21, achieved on July 26, 2010.
Bellucci used a string of ITF Challenger tournament victories early in 2008 to break into the top 100 rankings of the ATP World Tour as a 20-year-old. In 2009, he reached his first tour final at the Brasil Open and won his first tour title at the Swiss Open. In 2010, He won his second tour title at the Movistar Open in Chile.
Thomaz's playing style is using the heavy topspin of his big forehand to control points. He lacks outright power to produce a lot of aces, but he has excellent spin on his serve, allowing him to force his opponents off of the court which leads to him taking the offensive at the beginning of the point. His two-handed backhand is much more compact than his forehand, and is flatter, which allows him to take balls earlier on his backhand wing and drive the ball for winners. His preferred court is clay, but shows the adaptive potential to get much better at faster courts as well.

Passport rules delayed until 2009
The congressional requirement for a passport to enter the U.S. has been pushed back 17 months, but some members of Congress want it made clear that doesn't mean the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) can't go ahead sooner if it can overcome certain implementation hurdles.
"We urge the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the State Department to quickly develop the PASS card technology, card readers, and procedures to enable the earliest possible deployment of the system at our sea and land ports of entry," Representative Harold Rogers (R-Kentucky) said as the House of Representatives prepared to pass the 2007 appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on September 29, the last day of the congressional regular session.
A conference report accompanying the bill contained a provision delaying requirements for a passport or new PASS card at land and sea ports until June 2009 and setting conditions to be met first, including an affordable passport alternative available to citizens of Canada and Mexico as well as the United States, and the technology and training in place to issue and process these documents efficiently.
House Republicans had balked at the delay and accepted
the conference report only with recognition that the
June 2009 date was not the soonest, but the latest,
the system needed to be in place.
"Again, let me make this clear," Rogers said. "The conference report does not force a delay upon WHTI. It is up to DHS and state to make sure the program works securely and is implemented as soon as possible, which can and should be in accordance with the original WHTI deadline of January 1, 2008."
Approved by the Senate later that day, the bill is now cleared for final approval by the President.
The appropriations bill also contained funding for additional border patrol agents and new technology to watch the border.
"Using cutting edge technology is critical to securing our 4,000-mile-long northern border," said Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Washington). "With vast, rural and rugged terrain, physical barriers provide limited benefits along much of the northern border. The right tools can provide critical intelligence about areas that have previously gone unsecured for so long."
bill includes a provision to test the use of unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV) on the northern border. "UAVs
with extended range can conduct prolonged surveillance
sweeps over remote border areas, relaying information
to border agents on the ground," Cantwell said.
Another bill also passed this session, which Cantwell voted against, mandates the construction of a security fence along the southern border and a study of a "state of the art infrastructure security system" on the border with Canada.
U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (D-Washington) also applauded funding for additional border patrol along the northern border, saying more and better equipped patrol personnel was the answer to security concerns, rather than any physical barrier. "In the second congressional district border security is backyard security," he said. "While these Homeland Security funds will continue our efforts to put additional manpower along our northern border, there is still much work to be done."

The best thing that can be said about Coca-Cola's unusual new ad campaign is that it's a sure sign the company is feeling the heat for its sugary drinks. In the face of growing criticism and a new ban on large full-calorie sodas in New York City, the company has launched ads acknowleding its products' high sugar content and urging viewers to, as a press release put it, "have some fun burning those calories off."
The campaign's first television ad, a two-minute spot, debuted on Monday. In Boston, the campaign also took the form of a billboard showing a can of Coke and 140 calories in big letters. The can's sugary contents are no secret, the ad proclaimed.
