Cinema1039 entries
Released: 28/09/2012 General releaseSundance Jury Prize-winning director Rian Johnson returns with this high-octane sci-fi, that manages to show depth and intelligence and star Bruce Willis. It hurtles between the present and the future, and is helped along by Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a nihilistic plot. For more information visit: http://www.loopermovie.com/ Buy: www.everymancinema.com/looper
Page [1]
Film4"Thought-provoking and heart-pounding..." A couple of missed opportunities and minor quibbles aside, Looper's stimulating blend of action and ethics raises it a cut above your average Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster...
Little White Lies"The most resourceful, vivacious and savage science fiction movie of 2012..." An almost-classic slice of alt-sci-fi, a time-travel film of daring and vision that nearly but not quite collapses under the weight of its own ambition...
The Observer"Courts the adjective "thoughtful"..." Johnson keeps things moving and rings ingenious changes on familiar material, with considerable help from his cinematographer, production designer and actors...
The Telegraph"Fashionably sleek, unfashionably smart science-fiction film..." This might sound like a wildly complex conceit, and it is, although Johnson's film makes impressively light work of it. There is no half-hour, Inception-like briefing before the fun begins, just a quick dry run...
The Independent"Rian Johnson's time-travel thriller springs us into the future..." Looper has its shares of plot-holes and design flaws, yet somehow just keeps going, blatting away your doubts. The conviction of the cast is vital, for the film's secret weapon is not its cleverness, but its heart...
Empire"It has a brain, courage and a heart..." It's still crackling dialogue and unusual characterisations which hold the interest in a genre where those qualities are too often deemed superfluous...
Guardian"A sharp, smart sci-fi thriller..." You're in for a breathless ride. It's been a patchy summer for sci-fi, absent of anything that really sticks in the mind. Johnson's deep, distinctive film plays on repeat...
Total Film "Intricately and elegantly constructed..." The best sci-fi movie since Moon. The best time-travel yarn since 12 Monkeys. And one of the best films of 2012. You'll immediately want to see it again...

Police stations and treehouses
When I woke up, Daddy made me breakfast. I had a jam sandwich. My favourite.
'Sweetie, this morning I have to go to work with the rest of the guys, and before you woke up, the police called me. They said that they need to ask you about Rory. Penina's going to take you, and then later on, Gerard and Jane are going to look after you, and you can play with Hollie.' He said while pouring me some strawberry milk.
'Will the police arrest me?' I asked feeling frightened. He giggled and shook his head.
'No sweetie. They just need to ask you a few questions so they can arrest Rory. We're going to make sure he doesn't do anything bad to you, or anyone else again.' He said handing me the drink.
Penina came into the room dancing.
'Underneath the starlight, starlight. There's a magical feeling so right. It will steal your heart tonight. You can try to resist, not to hide from my kiss, but you know, but you know that you, can't fight the moonlight, deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart, but you know, but you know that you. Can't fight the moonlight no. You can't fight it. It's gonna get to your heart.' She sang.
'Why the cheery mood?' Daddy asked.
'I have no idea, but that song's stuck in my head. I swear, if it isn't played at our wedding, I'm breaking up with you.' She said winking.
'It seems to me like someone wants their wedding soon.' Daddy said.
'I just love that song. Have you ever heard the song Kayla?' She asked me. I shook my head.
'It's her favourite song, so you're going to be hearing it a lot in your future.' Daddy said hugging me.
'Are you off now?' Penina asked him.
'Yeah, I'll be back as soon as I can. Don't forget this morning.' Daddy replied.
'I know honey. I'll see you later.' She said kissing him. Daddy left, and I finished my sandwich.
'When do we have to leave?' I asked her.
'About an hour, so we have enough time to get dressed, play with Sophie, and listen to the song. Trust me Kayla, you're going to love it.' She answered. She took my plate, and I went to my room to get dressed. When I got out, Penina was dressed too, and she put a CD in the CD player. I got out Sophie. As soon as the song started playing, I loved it.
'This is amazing.' I said. She nodded her head, agreeing with me. When it was finished, she turned it off, I put Kayla back in her cage, and we went to the police station, and we were greeted by a woman in a police uniform after sitting in the waiting room for a long time.
'Hi there. I'm Superintendent Pepper, but you can call me Lacey.' She said. I waved at her and hid behind Penina. 'Would you like to follow me?' She asked. Penina nodded her head, and took me into a room with lots of bright sofa's and toys.
'It's okay Kayla. Lacey just wants to help. She's one of the good People.' Penina told me. I curled up against her, and felt slightly calmer.
'Kayla, I need you to answer these questions as best as you can. Is that alright?' She asked. I nodded my head. 'Now, what did Rory look like?' She asked.
'He had dark blonde hair, it was untidy, and he had brown eyes. He also had lots of muscles.' I replied
'You're doing very well so far. So, how did Rory hurt you?' She asked.
'Whenever he was cross, he would hit me, and punch me, and kick me. He sometimes stomped on me or hit me with lots of different things. Like a tennis racket.' I answered.
'That must've been terrible. When did he get cross?' She asked.
'Every night. Whenever he came back he was stinky. His eyes turned red as well.' I answered.
'Did you ever see him do any of that to your mum?' She asked. I nodded my head.
'For a few minutes each night, then he'd drag her into the bedroom, and I wouldn't see either of them until the next morning.' I told her. Penina and Lacey looked at each other as if I gave them a key to something they needed to unlock for a while.
'I think that's all I need right now. You can go home.' She said smiling. Penina nodded her head and took me to Hozzie's house. Daddy was there too.
'Hey guys, how was it?' He asked.
'Fine, but we had to wait for a long time.' I answered.
'Frank, I need to tell you something.' Penina said.
'Uh, sure. I'll see you later Kayla.' Daddy said kissing me goodbye.
'Kayla, Hollie's in the tree house. Do you want to go up there too?' Gerard asked. I nodded my head.
He took me to a big ladder, and I climbed all the way up. Hollie was there playing with some dollies.
'Hi Kayla.' She said handing one to me. 'We're having a tea party. Do you want to join?' She asked.
'Yes.' I answered. She was dressed up as a princess. She gave me her crown.
'You're an official member of the princess party! Let's celebrate with some biscuits.' She said. She grabbed a tin from a shelf, and opened it. Inside were some chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious.
'Yum!' I said.
'Don't tell my mum or dad though. I stole them.' She said. I nodded my head and giggled. Hollie's my best friend in the world.
'You should steal some chocolate milk for here.' I said.
'That's a great idea. We need to be sneaky though. It's the number one rule of the princess party.' She said. I nodded my head, and we headed to the kitchen.
Hey guys! In case you didn't know this, my dad was in a mood with me, because I said something wasn't mine (which it wasn't) so he got really angry at me, and threw my laptop on the floor, which broke it. So, I'm using my brothers laptop to write, and my old laptop to go on other websites, because they're all blocked. XD Also, either later on today, or tomorrow, I'm going to be putting auditions for a new story, and the sequel to this. The new story may or may not be MCR related. I don't think it will be. I learned a lot about my life this week, and it was really horrible, so I'm going to make a story out of it. So... yeah. Rate and review my pretties! XD xx

Disguise the TV on a Black Wall
We're always talking about ways to play down the television in our homes. Here's one thought that is a pretty simple solution that incorporates a hot trend: black walls.
One common complaint about televisions being an eyesore is that when they're turned off they're just a big black box. Locate the television on a black wall such as designer Anne Coyle has done in this example and it actually disappears when turned off!
Has anyone given this vanishing trick a try? Please let us know of the results below. Would you consider doing this in your home? Why or why not?

I actually have thought of it. I just finished painting my kitchen Steel Wool (charcoal gray) and think that adding another dark wall might be too much of a good thing. Will give it some thought now that I have seen this example -- perhaps just a short wall?
Wait what are you talking about? There is no Tv in that pic... oh wait, what? Oh, I see what you did there. Or do I?
Is that Tippi Hedren on the TV?
Have you thought about mirror or glass TV? That's the best way to hide a TV. Try google "ad notam".
Funny, I've saved at least a dozen images over the last few months with just such an idea. Some with tvs set against a black/dark painted wall, as in your photo, and some in a black/dark bookshelf.
I did a similar thing in my last apartment. I had the TV mounted on the fireplace and painted the brick (which was previously white) charcoal gray. Worked wonders. The TV just dissapeared into the background when it wasn't being used. The rest of the room remained white with charcoal accents here and there.
Honestly, you don't really need a black wall to call attention away from a TV. There was a house tour a while back with an orange wall with a large flat screen TV that looked great. I think the best results come from people who learn to accept the TV as part of the decor and complement it rather than trying to "hide" it, which never looks good and appears half-hearted at best.
We've got my TV up at an angle in the corner, with windows to the right, and a wall of Guthrie Theater posters and graphic art to the left. It works really well, and having some "art" on the wall definitely makes it look and feel like grown-ups live there.
I have a giant, graphic piece of art above my flat screen and I think it works wonders. In a lot of living rooms the largest most striking object is the tv.
In my first apartment, I painted the living room a deep charcoal grey in an effort to make the TV blend in a bit. It didn't work. The TV will always be shiny, and the walls won't (hopefully.) It drew even more attention to the TV, as if I was painting the room to match it.
Lesson learned, I now go for mid-tones and working with the TV - not against it.
Is there some benefit to creating a 10 foot wide black rectangle just for the purpose of hiding a 27" wide black rectangle?
Why is everyone trying to hide their TV? We all have them. Is it SO terrible to see one in someone's home?
@ Scoot - my thoughts exactly.
Embrace it people. If you have a TV and you watch your TV, get over it and stop trying to "hide" it in plain sight.
i think in the picture shown here, it's less about the dark walls, + more about the surrounding artwork - making the tv appear to blend into a larger display.
our living room tv is in front of a black + white (photograph) wall art piece. i hope it helps the tv blend a little against the white walls, but overall, i'm not concerned with "hiding" it.
I agree now in days tv's look great our plasma is very sharp looking would never try to hide it.
WHY?!?! just WHY!?!?! never understood why you would wanna "play down the tv"... what's wrong with a tv?! if you have a horrendous, giant, 90's black monster; sure. But LCD's and plasma's can be very beautiful! It's a piece of furniture! A piece of art! It's design! WHYYYYYY hide it?? If you don't like tv's: don't buy one!
I love that this post says the biggest complaint by tv-haters is that it's just a black box when turned of... and what's the solution to that? create a giant black rectangle! Hahahaha!!
That's why I dont have TV at home....
I think all this TV hiding is silly. I decorate for myself and my partner (who owns five or six TVs, I lose track, one of which is 110 inches diagonal.) (It's a projection sysem, though, so the screen is white -- different issue.)
Anyhow, when I'm home in a room with a TV, most of the time I'm either watching it (obviously I want to see it clearly then) or I'm reading (totally oblivious to my surroundings) or I'm conversing with someone (and also oblivious to my surroundings.) I don't worry that someone will think I'm unintellectual or something (my book shelves probably counter that) and the "black hole" is more like a window to me, so it just doesn't bother me.
I guess if you are a purist about antiques or something your mileage may vary, but for most people, TV is just a component of modern life, like a stove or computer. We expect them in our environments, and they don't require subterfuge!
Stabbing eyes with spork --> unsightly TV problem resolved!
Spork? SPORK??? Bla ha ha! Terrific! And yes, that's Tippy alright. Had a mad crush on her as a boy. :-)
I did this last year only I painted the wall a dark bronze color. Love it! Actually, this is an accent wall with a white fireplace on it. When the TV is off, you only notice the dramatic fireplace. When it's on, your eye is still drawn in that direction by both the TV and the fireplace.

Best overgrip ever. Think this's better than Tourna. I've played tennis more than 10 years and around 4.0 player.
I have used this overgrip for the past 5 or 6 years. I said I'd never use anything, but Tourna Grip until I tried the Yonex Super Grap. All of my friends now use this product and I order it in bulk for my whole USTA teams. Tacky feel makes it a pleasure to hold your stick. Give it a try!

Dental Hygienist Certification and Certificate Programs
Research dental hygienist certification and certificate programs. Get information about courses, licensing options, requirements and salary to make an informed decision about your education.
Essential Information
Dental hygienist certificate programs are offered at community colleges, universities, technical schools and colleges, and they are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). These programs balance classroom education with clinical practice. Students typically complete the program in 2-3 years, after which they may be eligible to sit for licensing exams.
Educational Prerequisites
A high school diploma or its equivalent is generally required for admission into a certificate program. Additionally, some programs require students to take general education classes that include basic sciences prior to admission.
Course Topics
Dentistry courses are based on sciences and health, and the practical education component takes place in laboratories and general and specialty dental clinics. Students learn about proper oral care and how to clean teeth and identify oral diseases. Common class topics include:
- Dental materials
- Clinical periodontics
- Oral and dental anatomy
- Oral pathology
- Microbiology
- Community oral health
- Nutrition
- Dental radiology
- Clinical and dental hygiene
- Dental ethics
Salary Information and Employment Outlook
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that the employment rate for dental hygienists is expected to grow rapidly, at a projected rate of 36% between 2008 and 2018. This above average growth rate is due to more people getting preventive dental care. Job prospects for qualified hygienists will be strong overall, but some variance will occur based on location. According to 2011 BLS statistics, the mean salary for dental hygienists was $69,760. This includes the 51% of dental hygienists who work part-time and often work at more than one dental office.
Licensing and Continuing Education Information
All 50 states require dental hygienists to be registered or licensed, according to the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA). While each state sets its own licensing requirements, the American Dental Association (ADA) said that all states typically require applicants to have sufficient education and pass a written and practical exam. Continuing education may be required for license renewal.
The BLS reported that advanced career opportunities are possible for dental hygienists and usually require a bachelor's or master's degree in the field. Bachelor's programs introduce advanced clinical care with topics covering public health planning and management.

The inspection was carried out by an Additional Inspector.
Description of the school
College Park is a community special school for 83 pupils aged 5 to 16. All have a statement of special educational needs relating to learning difficulties and other needs including behaviour, communication and autism. The school works in partnership with a number of local schools. Recent awards include Healthy School, Sportsmark and Artsmark. The acting headteacher has held this post for over a year. The school is due to move location whilst major building works are carried out. It is also subject to re-organisation and its intake will be more specifically pupils with autism. The appointment of an executive headteacher for this and a sister school was made during the inspection. The school is in the early stages of applying for Specialist Schools Status.

Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
College Park School provides a good education for its pupils and provides well for their personal development and well-being. They make good progress in a wide range of subjects and gain accreditation that prepares them well for leaving school.
The pupils' behaviour is good, as is their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The good curriculum enables the pupils to improve their communication skills as well knowing about staying safe and healthy in an environment where they enjoy lessons. There are also many opportunities for creativity, although not all pupils in Key Stage 3 have access to music lessons. The quality of teaching is good. Teachers and teaching assistants know the pupils well and most lessons are well planned, reflecting the good specialist subject knowledge held by staff. Relationships with all staff are good. Teachers' use of assessment to plan lessons is good overall.
Vocational programmes, work experience and attendance at local colleges of further education prepare older pupils well for leaving school. The curriculum is enriched by enterprise activities and after school clubs that have a positive impact on their personal development and well-being. Good attention is given to making the curriculum relevant to needs. School based programmes are well planned and monitored although some off-site activities for a minority of older pupils lack this necessary attention to detail.
The quality of care, guidance and support is good. School procedures ensure that pupils' well-being is appropriately safeguarded. Pupils receive good support from school staff and therapists to develop effective communication and improve behaviour where appropriate.
Leadership, management and governance are good. The acting headteacher and deputy have responded well to the challenges posed by the headteacher's illness, a changing pupil population and re-organisation proposals that include temporarily moving site during major building works. The senior managers have a good overview of the school's effectiveness and provide relevant training for all staff. Subject development planning is good, although not all departments make sufficient use of achievement data to evaluate their effectiveness on pupils' progress.
The governing body gives good support on personnel, premises and finance issues although their role in evaluating pupils' achievement is underdeveloped. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. The school has made good progress since the last inspection and its capacity to improve further is also good.
What the school should do to improve further
- Improve the analysis of progress by all staff and governors to ensure that all pupils are achieving as well as they can.
- Ensure that all off-site alternative curriculum programmes are of the same quality as those that are school-based.
- Provide opportunities for all Key Stage 3 pupils to study music.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Pupils make good progress in relation to their abilities and the targets set for them. The standards attained are inevitably well below average given the nature of the pupils' special educational needs. At the end of Key Stage 4 pupils achieve accreditation in a range of subjects including English, mathematics, science, information and communication technology, art and drama. The majority of examinations are at GCSE entry level. Vocational and enterprise awards are gained within the Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN), Young Enterprise entry level and BTEC Skill for Working Life. Pupils also make good progress towards targets in their individual education plans. The school's tracking of progress is good and shows no significant differences in achievement between groups of pupils. However, the school acknowledges that the analysis of achievement data requires further investigation to ensure all pupils are achieving as well as they can.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 2
Pupils clearly enjoy being at school as seen by good attendance and behaviour. On arrival they exchange greetings with peers and staff. Many take advantage of breakfast club and show a good awareness of what makes for a healthy diet. Those who have to remain in taxis until school begins do so patiently.
During lessons and breaks their behaviour is good. The vast majority accept the inconvenience posed by the school's limited accommodation very well, for example having to travel off-site for physical education and games lessons. Occasionally, they have to change rooms at short notice due to other classes requiring additional space for specific lessons.
Pupils and their parents feel the school is a safe place to be. Rare incidents of challenging behaviour are properly recorded and fully investigated to everyone's satisfaction. There are many evident friendships in class and in the playground. Through the curriculum pupils experience the cultures and faiths of others and develop good spiritual and cultural understanding.
Pupils make a good contribution to the community through work experience, charitable donations and drama performances. Membership of the school council is taken seriously and they understand the importance of consultation and decision making, such as choosing the school uniform. Pupils enjoy success in local and national competitions and have created award winning designs. They look after each other well and understand moral issues such as the importance of conservation. Through work-related learning and a variety of mini-enterprise activities they gain a good awareness of the world of work. Pupils readily take up opportunities for exercise and understand the importance of a healthy diet and the need to stay safe.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
Teachers and teaching assistants have a good knowledge of pupils' different needs and reflect this in their planning. Appropriate account is given to prior attainment when setting up learning groups. Teachers and assistants work well together as a team, often with assistants taking on specialist roles, for example monitoring and supporting behaviour and in programmes to develop the social use of language. The most effective lessons involve practical and purposeful activities that engage the pupils fully; for example in art where the pupils achieve well in accredited courses and express themselves freely. Teachers use a wide range of teaching styles that involve whole class and individual learning. Effective use is made of praise and immediate feedback, for example 'good looking' or 'good learning'. Behaviour management is effective and staff liaise well to ensure disruption to learning is minimised. Occasionally, the content of lessons does not fully match the pupils' abilities and some lessons lack the pace evident where teaching is better. Appropriate use is made of interactive whiteboards. In order to meet the increasingly complex needs of the pupils, staff have embarked upon learning alternative methods of communication with pupils such as picture exchange. These methods are very effective for pupils who need visual support for communication.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The recently revised curriculum is good. In all subjects there is a suitable focus upon literacy and numeracy. In Key Stage 4, in addition to accredited subjects such as GCSE, Entry Level and Youth Awards, there are well-planned vocational programmes. Relevant activities include work experience, mini-enterprises and part-time attendance at a local college of further education. For a minority of pupils personalised programmes are drawn up that include access to off-site provision. However, some elements of these programmes lack the rigorous monitoring evident for those based at school. Although there is good provision for creative arts not all pupils in Key Stage 3 have music lessons to which they are entitled.
Extra curricular provision is good and includes a very popular performance arts group led by external specialists. The annual residential trip has been suspended this year due to staffing difficulties. Opportunities for competitive sports are regularly provided and the breakfast club has a good impact on the pupils' well-being and understanding of health-related matters. Good use is also made of the local community, for example visits to local museums and places of interest.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
Overall, care guidance and support for pupils is good, with particular strengths in pastoral aspects. This ensures pupils feel safe, promotes their personal development very effectively and helps them achieve well. Good links exist with other professional agencies. Therapies, particularly speech and language, have a significant impact on pupils' achievements. Good provision is made for more vulnerable pupils, for example specific groupings based on behavioural needs and close support from pastoral staff. Significant preparation is undertaken to ensure smooth transition between classes and when leaving school for further education. Annual reviews of statements of special educational needs keep parents well informed. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive with comments such as, 'the school has done wonders for my child'. Academic support and guidance is good. The majority of reports are very detailed, although some in Key Stage 4 focus too much on attitudes and effort rather than progress and guidance for improvement.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
Leadership, management and governance are good. The acting headteacher has shown good leadership since taking up the post in difficult circumstances. She is very well supported by the acting deputy headteacher and together they have worked hard to improve the school. They work well with senior mangers to identify and implement improvements to management procedures and delegated responsibilities. These include re-establishing performance management for all staff, rigorous monitoring of behaviour and a curriculum review in light of the pupils' changing special educational needs. These actions have had a positive impact on achievement. The deployment of teaching assistants, especially those with specialist roles, is particularly effective in supporting pupils with additional communication and behavioural needs.
Subject leadership is good overall and aided by good specialist subject knowledge. The senior management team have rightly identified the need to develop staff expertise to address the challenges posed by a move to class based lessons for most subjects in Key Stage 3 and below. The routine gathering of evidence and analysis of progress data to inform subject planning is at an early stage although is well developed in English.
Professional development is very strong for all staff. The school has good systems to induct new staff and effective support is given when appropriate. Monitoring procedures give an accurate view of teaching and planning. The school's commitment to inclusion and equality of opportunity is good. The governors have relevant expertise in personnel, premises and finance. This is used to good effect, notably in recruiting an executive headteacher and involvement in local authority's re-organisation planning. Finances are well managed and appropriately audited. However, governors' role in evaluating pupils' achievement is less well developed.

When Cathal, our creative director, started working with new film-based solar panel technology he quickly realized these solar panels could be a game changer in consumer electronics design.
Products that could be powered by light could be built differently, becoming a lot thinner while liberating the consumer from having to use replaceable batteries. The environmental benefits were obvious but being able to create a new design paradigm gave our client a significant competitive advantage.
This solar keyboard is currently the number one bestselling keyboard on Amazon.com with a five star average rating and Logitech sales in this category have more than doubled this year thanks in large part to this commercial success. This solar wireless product has won the prestigious German iF award and the CES 'Best of innovations 2011' award.

Because most German roads are consistently good, many of the uprated suspension kits developed in Germany are downright uncomfortable on the broken road surfaces of England or California.
This has been my experience with almost every modified Golf GTI I've driven since 1981. Both generations of factory Golf R32 were borderline filling removers, while tuner versions of the independently-sprung GTI Mk 5 were only slightly better.
Imagine my surprise then when I rode out in Abt's Golf 6 VS4 recently and experienced an almost limo-like ride quality both at town speeds and on the autobahn. When I later commented on this back at base, Florian Buengener, Abt's effusive PR chief, explained that this was Christian Abt's target for all their new sport suspension systems.
As a DTM (German Touring Car Championship) ace, Christian knows a thing or two about driving and setting up cars. "While stiff suspension works on a billiard-table-smooth track, real world roads need good wheel travel and a compliant secondary ride to keep the tyres in contact with the tarmac," he explained. "In that respect, ride comfort and effective power deployment work hand-in-glove."
Unlike racecars with their seam-welded bodyshells and full roll cages, road cars, especially hatchbacks with large tailgate openings, tends to flex over bumps. The sports suspension then has to be made fairly stiff to compensate.
However, advances in computer-aided design that enable stronger, stiffer and lighter bodyshells has made it easier to maintain suspension geometric accuracy under load. This in turn has made it possible to dial down spring and damper stiffness, especially in secondary ride.
While the new Golf 6 may look generically similar to its predecessor at a cursory glance, its bodyshell is significantly stiffer. So even though VW uses similar suspension components to the Mk 5, the new settings have significantly improved the ride, both with the standard suspension and the Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) system.
Using this new baseline, Abt has been able to develop its latest sports suspension in a way that sets a new class benchmark for secondary ride comfort in an aftermarket sports suspension. H&R makes the coil-over suspension kits to Abt's unique specification, and the Golf 6 system uses progressive rate springs with fixed-rate dampers all round.
The resulting compliance is unprecedented despite the 30mm-lower ride height and the 8.0J x18-inch Abt AR style alloys with 225/40ZR18 rubber that fills out the Golf's wheel arches.
At higher speeds, the primary ride is also supple, but when you really lean on the chassis on a twisty road, things stiffen up progressively, revealing iron-fisted body control.
The ability to absorb and control the outputs of the 200+bhp motor is also very impressive, with almost no torque steer to contend with accelerating out of tight bends in second gear. Overall, you feel you are riding a quick but totally civilised machine rather than a bucking bronco looking for every opportunity to throw you into the bushes.
The next marvel is Abt's interpretation of the second-generation 1.4 TSI twin-charged engine. Using a supercharger and a turbocharger on the same engine is nothing new. Back in 1984, I drove the Lancia Delta S4 rally homologation special that used this system to couple the advantages of a supercharger's low-end response with the high-end power of a turbo. But digital motor electronics were in their infancy then, and the system was a bit ragged in operation.
Ironically, when I lived with a VW Golf 5 1.4 TSI test car for a week in 2007, that car's system was a bit ragged too, despite 23 years having passed and electronics having advanced in leaps and bounds. This first generation 1.4 TSI suffered from significant hesitation when the supercharger disengaged and the turbo took over. Seamless it was not.

Light from Distinct Electric and Magnetic Fields?

Lasers do something similar. If you want to use electronics to generate those fields, you are (currently) limited to lower frequencies like Masers or RF cavities.
Lasers etc. are still quantum devices, though and the emission is from atoms - hard to know what they are doing when radiating, in terms of the fields.
There are all sorts of things that you can do with fields at (the much lower) Radio Frequencies by manipulating the actual fields involved rather than taking the photon approach.
It is possible to take a coil and two flat plates or a short dipole (both structures significantly smaller than the wavelength in question) and feed them with the same signal in appropriate phases. They will produce oscillating (predominantly) magnetic and electric fields, respectively in the near vicinity. However, each one, taken on its own, will also produce the 'other' field and will radiate in its own right, when you look in the 'far field'. But by using both together, you can produce the equivalent of the far field wave closer to the structure and you will actually be able to radiate more power than each element taken separately if they are both small compared with a wavelength.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
ALBANY, GA (WALB) - There's no relief in sight for the drought conditions now gripping the southern two-thirds of Georgia. In fact, the state climatologist says the drought will probably get worse at least through mid August.
Staff on the farm and on the green are fighting the expensive drought. Employees at Grand Island Golf Club are making sure they're watering the greens all night - 12 hours exactly. Spots they cant reach with sprinklers, they actually go out and water by hand. One employee says he hasn't seen drought conditions this bad in years.
Some of the 700 sprinklers at Grand Island Club are going strong during the day and at night. Irrigation tech Austin Lawton says he makes sure at least 12 are running at a time. They spew out 500 to 600 gallons per minute, but even then, it's almost not enough.
"For May it's very unusual," said Lawton. "We've had dry spells but nothing this unusual. We're watering at 100% capacity right now."
That's also the case for farmers at Covey Rise Plantation. Peanut buying point operator Robin Singletary says it costs farmers about $10 to $15 an acre to irrigate, which is about $1,350 for roughly 90 acres of corn. The corn the water misses is no good.
"Corn that's not irrigated will be harder to sell,"said Singletary.
Rain is critical for the feed corn crop which farmers will harvest in August. Soon it will be just as vital for cotton and peanuts, which need rain before and after seeds are planted.
"We haven't had that in a long time," noted Singletary.
With river levels going down, and no rain expected anytime soon, sprinklers and irrigation systems will continue to work overtime.
To save money, some farmers are even moving to electricity to power their irrigation systems since the cost of diesel is so high.

2012 publishing predictions part 1
Yes, it's prediction time of the year. After such an amazing year for publishing and with some key issues seriously heating up, thought I'd ask our clever bloggers and twitter pals to pin down their thoughts for 2012. So many of you have given your predictions that I have broken it into 2 posts. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
This time next year I'll check back on this post and openly ridicule those who were off the mark and crown the person with the closest predictions the King or Queen of FutureBook. Ok, that's not actually going to happen.
As Philip and I have worked tirelessly (!) on FutureBook this year I have given us first dibs on the predictions.
Philip Jones, deputy editor of The Bookseller/co-founder of FutureBook
- Sales of digital products will outstrip predictions - again
- Waterstone's will launch a re-branded Nook in the UK in partnership with Barnes & Noble - not that I think it is the best deal for either player, but it is the only deal on the table
- Kobo will surprise us all with the breadth of its ambitions
- Self-publishing will become a growing force in UK publishing
- There will be a renewed battle between US and UK publishers over 'open' Europe
Sam Missingham, co-founder of FutureBook
- At least one totally new entrant into market with deep pockets (probably out of Silicon Valley)
- Amazon will lose some e-book market share but still totally dominant
- Apple will sort out the app store, delivering a slick interface for finding apps etc (but not sort out the iBookStore)
- Books and games will move closer together in lots of ways
- A new raft of words will emerge (like gamification)
- Marketing, marketing, marketing
Jonny Geller, literary agent, Curtis Brown
- Much depends on the expected Kindle/Kobo bonanza this Xmas, but one thing is certain - ebook sales are not going to decrease.
- I predict the big brands in fiction will benefit most in this first wave; and new, cheaply priced debut fiction and backlist will benefit too. Publishers will invest more in direct to consumer sales and marketing and retailers and readers will still need their filter to discern what book to buy.
- Agents will reconfigure, consolidate and provide a more transparent set of services to their authors, but every career writer will need their agent- even more so!
John Pettigrew, Senior Managing Editor, Education, CUP
- Business models begin to coalesce around a few preferred options
- One or two of our favourite startups hit the big time and everyone gets excited
- Amazon, Apple and some of the publishers get hit with government penalties over price-fixing on ebooks
Simon Appleby, Founder of BookSwarm
- Significant eBook growth to represent at least 20% of sales for trade publishers by the end of the year
- Resurgence at Waterstones, compounding the difficulties of the remaining independent retailers
- Amazon losing market share in eBook market
Peter Cox, literary agent, RedHammer Management
- Our understanding of the relative positioning of physical vs. virtual will deepen. It is not a simple "either/or" relationship. Strategic publishing decisions will be taken to maximise profitability straddling both sectors.
- Older publishing CEOs will all decide to gracefully retire! Since many of them have to employ an assistant to use their Blackberries, this is a Good Thing.
Peter Collingridge, Co-founder at Enhanced Editions
- Amazon will absolutely kill it in a way that will make us nostalgic for the simplicity of 2011. The Fire will be quickly updated and improved and will (as did the Kindle) steadily develop visible market share that Amazon will not release figures for.
- Nook will launch in the UK, either with Waterstones, or without them. If it's without, then Waterstones will be under intense pressure to deliver on the launch of their device both in terms of timing, and user experience. Their execution will be a defining moment for them.
- Amazon will become more and more like a publisher, making some outrageously high-profile hires, growing its publishing, and ultimately buying a mid-size, big name publisher, probably in the US first but possibly in the UK.
- (big) publishers will become more and more like Amazon, moving sharply towards being consumer- and data-centric. They will start by making some very smart marketing hires to bridge the gap between B2B and B2C. The new hires will focus on consumer activity, and will do a lot of data-driven analysis on (among other things) price and marketing tactics. These hires *won't* come from the music industry. Consumer marketing will quickly move towards the measurable, dynamic environments of digital, and publishers will invest heavily both in data capture and insight.
- Some of the price-fixing mud being slung around agency on both sides of the atlantic will stick to someone big and take them down
- Digital will wreak havoc in mainland Europe (where publishers also own bookshops) but the publishers will be better prepared for it from having seen (and talked with) what has happened here and in the US. (A bit like watching your friends have kids first.) Amazon will gain huge market share, Apple will struggle to keep up with local language coverage, and Google will remain in the background.
Baldur Bjarnason
- Improved high res tablets will begin to break apart Amazon, B&N's and Kobo's hardware as distribution strategy.
- Ebook prices will continue to be driven down by new entrants (self-pubs + small pubs). Big publishers and many writers will continue to be idiots and blame the readers for the price slide.
- IMO, Amazon's role in the price slide is primarily in enabling new entrants, and even then they've worked hard to limit it (like only offering a 35% revenue share on ebooks cheaper than $2.99 and not letting self-publishers offer free books).
Dan Franklin, digital publisher, Random House
- Building on the forays into short-form ebook publishing undertaken for fiction and non-fiction we've seen from companies big and small, old and young, I expect (along with a widening and deepening of the general ebook market) that shortform digital publishing will take off.
- Expect more short stories, serial and episodic approaches, journalism, and a return to the pamphleteering days of old.
Charles Catton, Publishing Manager, Amber Books
- Amazon will give Kindles free to Prime subscribers next year (the ad edition of the Kindle)
- VAT issue on ebooks will be important issue in the New Year - will hit UK-based retailers if govt doesn't react.
- Increased cross-pollination between publishing and other media industries in terms of both project collaboration and staffing
- Google and Facebook launch tablets.
- The markets in China & South America will maintain strong growth.
- More tension between publishers and authors/agents as former ask for world rights - slicing the copyright pie will become less common
Nick Harkaway, author
- Distributed sales - readers able to recommend books to others & get a small cut. Killer app of publishing!
- Oh, and: first major defections over electronic royalties!
An interesting possibility nobody mentions is that international publishers start publishing in the English language digital market.

When a childhood friend of Abby's from Denver finds herself short one bridesmaid, it doesn't take a professional psychic to see the opportunity for a much-needed getaway. But one bridesmaid after the next is mysteriously flying the coop, and Abby's intuition tells her their final destination isn't pretty. With the wedding party falling apart and her gift of sight never quite so foggy, Abby has to save the date - and herself - from becoming the next taffeta-clad target.
Psy Chic: listen to more Psychic Eye mysteries.
©2006 Victoria Laurie (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"comfort reading"
This series is rapidly becoming my comfort listening series. Likable and funny characters, promised happy ending, and cozy mystery make this series a sure thing. When I don't want to read anything stressful and would like to have a BGM book, this series is perfect.
In this volume the killer is pretty obvious halfway through the book. But the ending part was still gripping and I very much enjoyed it.
"A little disappointed(spoilers included)"
I have enjoyed the series very much until this book . I do not like that Abby slept with
Duffy, I do not believe that anyone in love would sleep with someone days after a breakup
and I cannot believe Dutch (or any man or woman) would just basically say don't worry about it when told. I also can't believe Dutch did not know or get the phone number(FBI ?)
"Cute and Engaging"
Another good installment in the series. I'm getting used to the narrator. Just different enough from the earlier books to keep my interest.
I am an INFP & an empath.I love mysteries&thrillers.I really enjoy psychic investigative novel.Kay Hooper is one of my faves.
"Abby's Wires Get Crossed"
Most definitely
I always like her voice though others complain. She sounds upbeat.
Yes I got angry at Abby's character in this book. She was over the top ( like with the presents at V-day), she was sulky, bratty, and to top matters off she was disloyal to Dutch. I found it interesting that it took Abby & Dutch forever to get physical but it happens in about 2 days in this book. It made me look at Abb's differently but then again we all make mistakes and are subject to acting "human".
"More Psychic Eye Fun!"
I really like this series because it always makes you laugh out loud! Abby is constantly getting into trouble, even when she is trying to avoid it. For this genre, this is one of my favorite series.
The beginning opens up with Abby facing her own death. It was surprising because the book was just beginning, so how could she die already?! Then you realize she is seeing it with her psychic eye. She knows what lies ahead, but not sure what choice to make to change her path.
I'm not sure if I recall if I have listened to her before or not.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Uh oh- this could be the death of me.
"Lighthearted Murder"
I like this series. It's lighthearted murder if there is such a thing. I like the narrator.
"Corny "chick lit""
The premise of the story was so unbelievable. The narrator read the story as if it were about a picnic in the park instead of a multiple murder. I always make myself finish a book just to see if it all comes together in the end, but unfortunately this one did not.
"Better enjoyed in a paper format."
If I recommended this book, or this series, I would not recommend the audio. Although the story is well crafted and fairly interesting, it just doesn't translate into the spoken word. The reader's monotone voice and pacing don't lend any reality to the performance. I found myself frequently thinking "nobody would use that phrase" or "noone would ever sound like that under the circumstances." It was annoying because the performance actually got in the way of the story. I've read some of this series and it was much more enjoyable to read silently.
None stood out particularly. I like Dutch from previous stories, so although he's not much of a presence in this book, I still like him. Abby is never quite believable to me.
I didn't like anything about it. She brought no life to the story, her pacing was static and boring,and her voice was very monotone. There was never any doubt she was 'reading" and not even attempting to "act" the various parts. I guess I've been spoiled by so many wonderful readers who bring each character to life. I will definately avoid any books read by her in the future.
This author crafted a clever mystery with lots of action and characters, but the characters never became "real". They didn't talk like real people and certainly didn't act believably. Why was Abby always able to convince the Sheriff that she should allow herself to be put into danger against his better judgement? And why did the doctor begin to act like a criminal even though he was guilty of nothing? The idea of a psychic is interesting, but it needs more fleshing out, in my opinion. But for a light read, it's fine.
"Strained eyes from rolling them too much"
The plot line is fairly interesting, and it's well narrated. On the other hand, the dialog is corny and fake sounding, and the author makes repeated use of imagery that makes no sense. For example, when the psychic lead character senses that something sounds wrong, her 'left side feels thick and heavy'. But when a statement sounds true, her 'right side feels light and airy'. Now, I'm not psychic, but I do have both a left and right side, and I can't grasp the what the author seems to be shooting for.
I'm also not real keen on how the narrator always lowers her voice to indicate a male is speaking. Its like a male narrator going into a Monty Python falsetto every time a female speaks.
All in all, a completely forgettable, but mostly harmless book.
Retired systems analyst; Lover of music, art, travel, technology, birds, Caribbean, scuba; Favorite audiobook genres: mystery, biography, travel, humor, fiction
"Narrator problem"
Although I really like these psychic eye stories, the narrator has an annoying prnounciation problem. She frequestly ends past tense verbs with a t instead of a d pronoucing words like want-ed as want-it and boot-ed as boot-it.
She also leaves the g off of participles pronoucing making as makin .
These errors occur in groups making me assume that it may happen when she gets tired.
I think professional narrators should not make this kind of mistake.

Clint Eastwood gave us the most striking political ad aired during the Super Bowl. But aside from Chrysler, who benefits from the TV spot? On Monday, Republicans seemed to think President Barack Obama:
"I was, frankly, offended by it," said Karl Rove on Fox News Monday. "I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, I thought it was an extremely well-done ad, but it is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics, and the president of the United States and his political minions are, in essence, using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising."
Eastwood is 81. But it may still be dangerous to imply that Dirty Harry can be bought off by "Chicago-style" politics or is one of Obama's minions. And yet, just last November, Eastwood said this to the Los Angeles Times:
"I've always been very liberal when it comes to people thinking for themselves," said Eastwood, who supports gay marriage, abortion rights and environmental protection. "But I'm a big hawk on cutting the deficit. I was against the stimulus thing too. We shouldn't be bailing out the banks and car companies. If a CEO can't figure out how to make his company profitable, then he shouldn't be the CEO."
When it comes to the current crop of Republican presidential candidates, if Eastwood is enthusiastic about anyone, it's Herman Cain. "I love Cain's story," he says. "He's a guy who came from nowhere and did well, obviously against heavy odds. He's a doer and a straight-talker, which I don't see enough of from either party."
He's not as bullish on Mitt Romney. As a film icon, Eastwood has been fiercely protective of his image, but he's not especially enamored by that attitude in a politician. When Eastwood was in Massachusetts in 2002, filming "Mystic River," Romney was running for governor there. "I saw a lot of him and you have to admit — he looks like a president," Eastwood recalled with a tone that you'd have to describe as being slyly sarcastic. "I mean, if you were casting a movie where you needed someone to play president, you'd definitely pick him."
The Michigan presidential primary, incidentally, is Feb. 28.

bend over (I guess that really says it all)
When the Constitution was written, the idea that the Armed Forces of the United States (which didn't exist when the Constitution was written) would be used to settle a family feud ("you will remember, he tried to kill my daddy) would have probably been considered grounds for Treason.
That so many in the wrong wing of the republican party have become so adroit at selectively rewriting history for the first 8 years of this century is astounding!

It is nearly half time in America and if there are enough idiots to reelect Obama then America loses the second half and the game. I could see Obama getting a couple thousand votes from his cronies but more than that is unrealistic. He was elected by racists and ignorant whites and if he is reelected it will be by don't care racists and stupid whites. If you are stupid enough to let jim fool you twice then there is no hope for this country. We are going downhill like a snowball headed for hell as the saying goes. Anyone defending Obama needs immediate brain surgery. If you disagree then go ahead and make the doctor's appointment before the election. Only if you wake up can this country be saved from the Dumacrats in DC.

Be Careful With My Heart May 14 2013 continues to celebrate Maya's graduation with a simple surprise "salu-salo" (treat) jointly prepared by the Lim household and the Dela Rosa family. With all the hustle and bustle going on, Maya can't seem to get a chance to talk to Sir Chief and explain her second "i love you" to him. We can guess that she'll tell him that this time she means it and that it's not just a spur-of-the moment. And you know what this implies ... but let's patiently wait cause it will come very, very, soon ... :)
To complete the celebration, a videoke is provided and everyone treats Maya with a special song number. However, when it's Mamang's turn, something goes wrong with the unit and the screen turns off. Mr. Lover (Sir Chief) "shows off" and tries to fix it. Kute keeps on teasing Maya, knowing first hand what's actually happening with her dear sister. She doesn't know the "latest updates" though. Later, it's her turn to sing for Maya. This touches her and even makes her cry. Sir Chief readily hands her a hanky to wipe her tears ... so sweet!
I'm actually excited about Nikki's reaction when she sees the pictures she took of Maya and her dad. Several times, they were not looking at the camera. At first Sir Chief couldn't get his eyes off of Maya and then it was Maya looking at him. I think there was also a time when they were looking at each other. Wouldn't these reveal to Nikki what's going on?
