The Merry Gentleman: retrospective review
What with Michael Keaton's current resurgence, I thought I'd take the opportunity to look at his largely overlooked, directorial debut, The Merry Gentleman (Keaton, 2008).
My Stuff shakes off the consumerist shackles of 'stuff' to look for something deeper (review)
My Stuff, the debut feature from Finnish director, Petri Luukkainen, is a quasi-documentary and we join Petri – director and subject – as he embarks upon his experiment to forgo his possessions for one year.
The Nightman of Nevermoor: a Spielbergian-romp from Devon's talented and passionate filmmakers
The Nightman of Nevermoor was directed by Devon's own, Chris Thomas and it was made on a shoestring budget of just £3,000, which was raised via crowdsourcing. The 50-minute short is a staggering achievement for the production crew, showcasing their filmmaking talents, while also illustrating their ability to work to a limited budget and time schedule.

The best films of 2013 (part 2)
If you've haven't read part one of my Top 10 Films of 2013 I'll provide you with a brief recap; there was a lot of love for Keanu Reeves and I make no apologies for that. End.
But seriously, the countdown thus far looks a lot like this…

The best films of 2013 (part one)
2013 has been a fantastic year for cinema, with great films likes Gravity (Cuarón, 2013), 12 Years a Slave (McQueen, 2013), Upstream Colour (Carruth, 2013) and the Herzog produced documentary, The Act of Killing (Annonymous, Cynn & Oppenheimer, 2012) all debuting – whether on national release or at film festivals. However, none of the aforementioned made my cut, despite their obvious brilliance.
Right, let's get started…
Frances Ha: Greta Gerwig shines
Frances Ha is the tale of Frances (Greta Gerwig), a 27 year old who has drifted through life and isn't really sure who she is. However, she's getting to a point in her life when things are beginning to change – not least her friendship with her flatmate, Sophy (Mickey Sumner). When Sophy decides to move in with another friend, it sets about a period of self-discovery and we're fortunate enough to be along for the ride.
12 Years A Slave: powerful performance in this Steve McQueen film
12 Years A Slave is Steve McQueen's adaptation of Solomon Nothup's gruelling memoir. Its story revolves around Solomon, played by the excellent British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor in a career highlight. A free man and an accomplished violinist living in New York, Solomon is tricked into to joining a travelling show and promptly sold into slavery.
All Cheerleaders Die: a 'subversive' teen horror
All Cheerleaders Die is a 'subversive' horror film based upon a decade-old project between the film's directors Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson. Its stars are relatively unknown with the exception of an un-credited and brief cameo from Michael Bowen – who was most recently seen terrorising Jesse Pinkman and Walter White as white supremacist Uncle Jack in Vince Gilligan's, Breaking Bad.
Heli: gruelling, beautiful and violent with great performances
Amat Escalante's Heli won him the Best Director gong at this year's Cannes. Heli depicts a working class family thrown into the Mexican drug world, a dangerous place of police corruption and violent criminals – notably, it features a very graphic torture sequence not for the faint-hearted.
Hide Your Smiling Faces marks out Daniel Patrick Carbone as a director to watch
Hide Your Smiling Faces marks the début of Daniel Patrick Carbone. It's a bold take on childhood, growing-up, loss and a film that shies away from sentimentality; in short it's no Stand By Me.
Locke: entertaining tense thriller
Locke stars Tom Hardy as Ivan Locke, a structural engineer on the eve of his biggest project to-date. During his career, Locke has built himself a highly respected reputation, but in one night, all of that is thrown away because of a one-night-stand, nine months earlier. Locke depicts Ivan's journey from Wales to London as he races to support the mother of his unborn child, while jeopardising his marriage and career.
Philomena: deft 'odd couple' Dench and Coogan
Judi Dench and Steve Coogan star in Stephen Frears newest film, Philomena. Dench plays the titular Philomena (or Phil to her friends), a woman who after 50 years decides to find her son, who she was forced to give up for adoption after conceiving the child outside of marriage. Along for the ride and to document her story is the reluctant former BBC broadcaster Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan).
Interesting, complete and bizarre: The World's End review
This is one of the films of the year. It is an gloriously imaginative… Well I don't know what it is. To call it a thrill-ride would be to overlook the masses of humanity the film carries in its core, and to call it a poignant drama would be to overlook the moments that left me breathless. Truth is, it is both of these things and quite a bit more.

Situated in the heart of Europe just outside the city of Frankfurt, Taunus Hills Nature Park is one of the region's biggest tourist attractions.
Extending over six regional districts, Taunus Hills Nature Park is the second-biggest reserve in Hessen and in 2012, it celebrated its 50th anniversary. Diversity is the hallmark of the Taunus Hills Nature Park. Few areas are so varied, from the slopes of the Upper Taunus via the ridge of the range and towards the north, from the skyscraper skyline of the banking city of Frankfurt to the beauty of the Weiltal valley, and from the reconstructed Roman fort at Saalburg to the tranquillity of the river Lahn. The reserve enjoys excellent public transport connections, with a special train, the Taunusbahn, running from Frankfurt central station right into the reserve itself. For tourists intending to visit the reserve, the Taunus Information Centre (TIZ) in the town of Oberursel is a useful starting point. Located at the 'gateway to the Taunus' where the ascent to the highest peak, the Feldberg, begins, the centre houses a tourist information service, exhibition and a restaurant, the Waldtraudt. The nature park has thus become a model for others of its kind, hosting a diversity of not just flora and fauna but of landscapes, people and attractions.

Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS), or radiation sickness, is a serious illness that can happen when a person is exposed to very high levels of radiation, usually over a short period of time. The amount of radiation that a person's body absorbs is called the radiation dose.
People with ARS typically also have some skin damage. This damage can start to show within a few hours after exposure and can include swelling, itching, and redness of the skin (like a bad sunburn).
There also can be hair loss. As with the other symptoms, the skin may heal for a short time, followed by the return of swelling, itching, and redness days or weeks later. Complete healing of the skin may take from several weeks up to a few years depending on the radiation dose the person's skin received.

Podcast: My "Power Stories" chat with Timbo Reid ("Small Business, Big Marketing")
You may remember that a few months ago I did a crazy thing. I drove from Melbourne to Sydney (that's not the crazy bit) with my three furry babies in the car (that's not the crazy bit either). Apart from my two fluffy white cats and one fluffy white dog, the only other thing accompanying me on that v-e-ee-e-r-r-ry l-o-o-o-o-o-o-g trip was 11 hours of Tim Reid's fabulous "Small Business, Big Marketing" podcast.
Yes, my iPod did not have a single song on it. But I had many hours of Tim Reid (more famously known as Timbo Reid) in my ears. He kept me sane on that long journey. Well, initially. After 11 hours … well, I was going a little bit nuts.

Robert Kiyosaki drops into my office
This week I was thrilled to interview best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki. He dropped into the Sydney Writers' Centre and we chatted about his new book Midas Touch: Why Some Entrepreneurs Get Rich - And Why Most Don't, which he co-authored with Donald Trump. Robert has built an entire empire on his "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series of books so it was great to be able to chat to him about his writing and book marketing strategies.
Why business owners need to master the art of story-telling
In a world of instant publishing and on-the-spot blogging, everyone's a storyteller. The trouble is, not everyone can tell a story. You might wonder why this is relevant if you're a business owner. After all, if you're a fitness trainer, or an accountant or dog groomer, you don't need to tell stories, right?
Why you MUST become a publisher
I recently read Content Rules by Ann Handley and CC Chapman. I was motivated to read their book after I went to their panel session at South by South West earlier this year. In my Enterprise post this week, I discuss why every business owner has to be a publisher.
What did I learn from South By South West
As regular readers will know, I recently went to the South by South West Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. It was fascinating to meet with and hear from a range of successful authors and to attend the sessions on The Future of Journalism. There is no doubt that the publishing landscape is changing dramatically.
Traditional publishing is going to be affected as a result of innovative publishing technologies and changes in the way that people "consume" media. There is way too much to discuss on one blog post. However, stay tuned as we will roll out our research on trends and insights gleaned from South by South West in future posts. In the meantime, here's a quick video of me being interviewed for Suzi Dafnis, community director of the Australian Businesswomen's Network (www.abn.org.au) who also made the trek to the event.

Gerard's PE class... and a little bit of love for Frankie. ;)
That's right! It's me! Queen of the really long Author's Notes! And hyperness! And MOUNTAIN DEW! Which, no, I have not been drinking!!!! I am in SCHOOL! How DARE you think that I would sneak a SODA!! ;)
Anyway, I didn't fall off the face of the earth! I'm still alive! And I'm back! I am SO sorry for not posting for forever! I'll start reposting more often! ::serious mood swing to seriousness:: I take complete blame for that. My eight year old sister went through a cancer scare, and I have been completely gone from everything. So here's my promise to come back and post every Friday. That gives me time to finish this story and finish writing the sequel as well. Please don't kill me for leaving you hanging. At least you get some nice kisses in my story now! And guess what- I'll give you TWO chapters!!!! You love me, right?? I know!
Please rate and review!!! Much love!!!!!
Gerard's POV-
I only had one class with Frank after lunch, but I had at least one of the guys in every class except for PE, which was my last class of the day. I didn't have a gym uniform yet, so I stuck out like a big black thumb. While the jocks picked the teams for volleyball, I stood at the back of the crowd chewing my nails.
I was picked last, of course, but the PE instructor took pity on me and put me in server's position. The team captain, a linebacker by the looks of him, shot me a glare and took his place to my right.
I lobbed the ball into the air and spiked it, sending it over the net- and straight to the floor. Everyone looked at me incredulously as the coach gave our team a point and tossed me the ball again.
I proceeded to make three more points with no effort as my team stared in astonishment and the other team scrambled to return the ball. We won the game twelve-to-nothing, and I never left the server's position.
When the bell rang, I was burning up in my black skinny jeans but I was smiling up a storm. As I walked out the door to head to my locker, I distinctly heard one girl, I think her name was Katie, call out, "I call Way for my team tomorrow!" My day was definitely ending on a high note.
Frank's POV-
I met Gee on the front steps of the school building, and we decided to wait for Mikey. Gerard flirted when he was sure no one else could hear, and my stomach felt like I was on the Son of Beast.
While Gerard was making one particularly suggestive comment that had me blushing and giggling like a little girl, Mikey finally exited the building and started towards us. His glasses were askew, his hair was messy, and his tie was undone and hanging around his shoulders. He was breathing heavy and looked as if he'd just run a mile.
"What took you so long?" Gerard asked, taking in his brother's haphazard look.
"I kind of... ran into Alicia and... um..." Mikey mumbled, eyes wide with fear.
"Oh my GOD, please tell me you're still a virgin!" Gerard exclaimed, gripping Mikey by the shoulders and giving him one hard shake.
"Yes!" Mikey gasped, embarrassed. "We didn't- I can't believe you thought- we're at SCHOOL!" Mikey stuttered, turning away and rushing down the steps to where Ray was standing, holding the bookbag that Mikey had left in study hall.
Gee laughed, putting his arm around my shoulders and leading me down the steps. "Time to go home," he muttered.
I froze. I had almost forgotten. I was going to have to face my mother. and Gerard was going to be there.
"Frankie, are you okay?" he whispered, getting me to start walking again. We headed down the road, following Mikey and Ray who were far ahead. When I didn't answer, he stopped and turned to face me. I looked down at the ground.
"Frankie, look at me you sweet boy," Gee whispered, his hand coming up under my chin to raise my eyes up to his. When I looked up, his face was inches from mine. Mikey and Ray had gone up ahead; we were completely alone.
"Frank Anthony Thomas Iero, I want you to listen to me. There is no way that you having a scary mother is going to make me stop loving you. She doesn't scare me, and she's not going to hurt you anymore." We were so close; I could feel his breath on my lips
I turned my head away, breaking eye contact with him. "That's not it. You leaving me isn't the only thing I'm worried about. I'm scared that what happened last time might happen again."
"What happened?" Gerard asked me, anxiety lacing his voice.
I sighed, bowing my head and turning away from him. "It was a few years back. I was seventeen. My mother had just found out about me being gay when she came home to find me lying on my boyfriend's chest. My father had always tried to protect me from the worst of her rants, but that night, he couldn't.
"My mother grabbed her rifle and sh-shot my boyfriend. Then she- she rounded on me. My dad threw himself in front of the bullet. Both of them died.
"Every day since she has blamed me for my father's death. She said that if I hadn't brought HIM home, she would never have shot my father. It was my fault, she says. I don't want to lose you too. If anything ever happened to you... I don't think I could keep living.
"That night, I almost killed myself. My mom had passed out from the alcohol, and Autumn found me in the tub, bleeding from the wrists. She took me to the hospital and refused to leave my side for a month.
"The police came to the house and my mom said that my father had shot my boyfriend for trespassing, and then tried to kill her. She supposedly grabbed the rifle from his hands and killed him in self-defense. She told them I had tried to commit suicide because I had seen two people I loved killed, and was in no state to testify. In a way, I wasn't. The police bought it, and she went back to her old ways of beating me. And my dad was no longer there to protect me." I turned back to Gerard.
"I never again let myself fall in love. Until now," I told him, gazing into his hazel eyes. Gerard stepped closer to me, our eyes still locked. He looked as though he was going to speak, but instead pulled me into him, crushing his lips against mine with great force. I responded desperately, needing him more than air.
He pulled me to the grass, landing on his back with me on top of him. He rolled over so he was straddling me, our lips still locked. He broke away briefly, both of us gasping for air, and forced out, "She will never hurt you again." He then kissed me once again, passionately, our bodies pressed together. I lost myself to his touch and the feel of his lips on mine.
Our kiss deepened, and I gasped as his tongue slid into my mouth. He tasted of coffee and cheap sweetener and... Gerard.
His tongue explored my mouth and I moaned, tangling my hands in his hair. He lay atop me, our bodies perfectly aligned, his hands running up and down my chest. I pulled him towards me, forcing his tongue further into my mouth, before he reached down and unbuttoned my shirt. We broke away, and he laid on top of me, stroking the tattoos on my midriff. I shuddered with pleasure.
His beautiful eyes rose to meet mine as he continued to finger my waist. My stomach twisted as one finger brushed below the waistline of my jeans. He ran his hands along my torso, and another moan escaped my lips. He smiled.
"Man you're beautiful," he told me, stopping his seductive strokes. "Perfect." I smiled back, unable to speak. He was the beautiful one, not me. I was short and inked and scarred, while he was flawless. But my tongue was too uncooperative for me to tell him that.
"I won't ever let her touch you again. You're coming to live with me. Now let's go get your things."

Well, thank you! I'm glad you like it!

If you are having a child for the first time, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by questions, fears, and just not knowing what to expect. Many new parents find that childbirth education classes can really help calm their worries and answer many questions.
Our classes cover all kinds of issues surrounding childbirth including breathing techniques, pain management, vaginal birth, and cesarean birth. They can help prepare you for many aspects of childbirth: for the changes that pregnancy brings, for labor and delivery, and for parenting once your baby is born. Mankato Clinic Childbirth Educators are highly trained and knowledgeable and have proven to be a reliable resource for expectant parents.
Typically, new parents take birthing classes during the third trimester of the pregnancy, when the mother is about 7 months pregnant. Each "Prepared Childbirth" class is four sessions- one session per week. You do not need to be a Mankato Clinic patient to participate in these classes.
Benefits of Taking a Childbirth Class
At our childbirth class you will be provided with a great forum to ask lots of questions and you will learn more about topics such as:
•how your baby is developing
•healthy developments in your pregnancy
•warning signs that something is wrong
•how to make your pregnancy, labor, and delivery more comfortable
•breathing and relaxation techniques
•how to write a birth plan
•how to tell when you are in labor
•pain relief options during labor
•what to expect during labor and delivery
•the role of the coach or labor partner
Many of our classes also address what to expect after the baby is born, including breastfeeding, infant care, and dealing with the emotional changes of new parenthood
You can register online by clicking on the registration form located in the banner on the right. If you have questions or would like more information please call 507-385-4089.

The Child School Legacy HIgh Schol is a state approved private school for children with learning disabilities. My daughter started in kindergarten and is currently in 9th grade. Use of Wilson reading in the early grades has greatly enhanced her ability to learn to read. She has generally enjoyed attending the school. High scool , which can be difficult, has been supportive for her. The school responds to my cncerns about her. The school's founder had a mixed reputation but she has retired and the school is run by the previous the director of the high school with a steady hand. They are starting to formaly use positive behavior support and interventions. They support kids other talents with music, art, sports a annual play and technology. Those programs are what get my daughter to school. High school has elective tracks for kids to specialize in things that interest them. The previous director overextended himself financially in too many projects but the school has worked through that and is now on good financial grounds .
My child has attended this school for a few years now. Some classes/buildings are overcrowded, but this doesn't effect the quality of the Teachers ability to provide the best possible service that they can anywhere they can. In short that means that the staff can be very creative and pliable when it needs to be. The school is working to better itself and it's teachers in order to give the children who attend the school the best education possible. With time I'd like to add a star. Right now they are doing an average job.
A wonderful school for smart kids with support from dedicated teachers and therapists. The school provides a strong academic environment with support for learning disabilities. An outstanding designated private special education school for elementary, middle, and high school students. We are very glad we came here.
My son struggled through public elementary school with a speech and processing disorder, as well as ADHD and some spectrum traits/behaviors. the Public school atmosphere broke his spirit. He started The Child School in the summer before 6th grade and became a new person. He started to LOVE school, his teachers, his peers, and everyone noticed a change. He no longer acts out in class but is a well behaved, polite, respectful boy who is happy to go to school and learn. The Child School brought my son back to me!
The teachers and staff are committed to making sure every child is given the time and dedication to accommodate their needs, This is a school that welcomes children with learning disabilities and helps them excel in all areas of life. It is truly a lifesaver for not only the children but the families as well. These children will succeed in this school and most graduate with Regents diplomas. They go on to College and become confident, young adults. This school is very much deserving and really could use these funds to purchase equipment for occupational therapy and other much needed services.
My son has been at this school since 2004 and he has grown academically and emotionally more than I ever dreamed possible. The classes are small; the teachers are highly skilled both in their subjects and in working with emotionally fragile kids with various learning styles. The location on Roosevelt Island abutting the East River is absolutely beautiful. A gem of a school
I'm a parent of a child who currently attends the school. He has been here for 4 years, my child has a severe learning disability, adhd and was not expected to learn to read or write. He had such a rough time in public schools because they did not take the time to address his individual needs. Within his first year my son began to read and write. He is now a confident young man who thanks to all the class selections has had great educational opportunities and social extra curriculars. I'm am proud to say we are a TCS/Legacy family. I recommend the school. No school is perfect but TCS works very hard to meet each child's individual needs. Cant wait till he goes to Legacy in a years time!
My daughter attended The Child School for three years and made a great deal of progress. The curriculum was individualized to meet her specific strengths and deficits. She got 1:1 assistance in the areas where she needed it and got the spotlight on her strengths ranging from the annual science fair to the dance shows. The teachers and therapists are very involved, very accessible and willing to work with parents. She flourished socially and emotionally in the elementary school's therapeutic environment and made her first friends here. The PTA is very involved and sponsors many events for parents, students and alumni.
This school has been great. They have some excellent teachers, and an excellent speech therapist. We have lots of electives. These electives vary from clubs like synchronized swimming to academic electives like abstract chemistry. Everyone fits in somewhere here.
Excellent School - My child entered this school in Kindergarten and is now in 5th grade. Our experience has been wonderful and our child has flourished. The teachers are loving and nurturing, firm. The staff takes a team approach on each student and collaborates with parents.
the one of the best special education and i love going there my favorite teacher is Tobi
The Child School was not able to provide an appropriate program for my son. He was 9 years old (ADHD/Anxiety) and spent a couple of traumatic weeks in this school. I frequently got phonecalls to pick him up, sometimes 10 minutes after he arrived with the bus at school. My son was not able to attend any other school for 9 months - private hominstruction was the only option. Today, one year later, he is doing perfectly fine in a wonderful school, in downtown manhatten. It was definately not the right fit.
This school provides an excellent learning experience. Friends always have a positive attitude towards each other in and outside school. The teachers are always helpful and really help the students. this is a great school, recommend it for anyone
My son is 9 years old, he is diagnosed with ADHD, Separation Anxiety and a very high IQ. September 2011 he was enrolled in The Child School. The school was not able to provide a program for my son needs. After summerschool and 3 weeks during september the school decided to expel him.
The admissions department does not represent their school well. They do not respond to e-mail and are not very helpful on the phone. They are condescending and flustered.
The Child School is a school that serves children with developmental and learning disabilities. Shame on the previous reviewer for his/her ugly language and attitude toward the children he/she was supposed to be educating. Kudos to Child School for getting rid of you - you don't belong in any classroom!
This school is amazing! Great for kids with learning disabilities or ADD or even high functioning kids with asperger's. The school is academically strong but very theraputic and supportive. Our son struggled in a public school due to severe ADD, where despite having great teachers, the class size was just too big. Now at the Child School, he's in a class of 8 kids with two and sometimes three teachers. There's no way for him to be distracted with someone over him all the time. Moreover, the teachers here have different kinds of methods to help kids overcome their issues. Our son's grades have improved dramatically at TCS, his confidence has skyrocketed, and he now loves school. The founder, Maari de Souza, is a genius, who inspires the students to achieve. She's now been joined by a new director, Sal Ferrara, who is also a force of nature, and who has BIG plans for the school to take it to the next level, like new sports teams and facilties. The school is great, and it's improving. We are thankful beyond words that our son is attending the Child School. It is a special, special, special place.
The Child School is wonderful for kids with learning disabilities. My son is in 8th grade and has been a student here since second grade. The head of school and teachers will do everything they can to help your child learn and it works. My son has made magnificent progress here. Socially, the school is difficult for a kid who does not have significant emotional problems as many of the kids do.
I think this school is excellent. I didn't say perfect because no school is, but my son has been there since he was five and is now 18. This is a kid we thought might never read and write and whose behavior was all over the place. He is now an educated, accomplished, skilled young adult and I give the school huge credit for that. For every teacher that has been less than perfect there have been 10 that were dedicated and worked their hearts out. In addition to My son has been involved with theater, singing, studio art at TCS and is now in a pre-professional musical theater company. He has travelled to five foreign countries--from Costa Rica to Morocco--with the school. Don't believe most of what detractors say; my husband's an educator and we both think the school is awesome in many ways.
I have worked with the staff on extra curricular projects. The opportunities are fantastic at this school. The school is clean, bright, airy, with a center atrium garden. The staff is commited to serving developmentally disabled kids.

Insolvency in the Corporate Sector and Financial Crisis in Korea
AbstractThe paper shows that between the late 1980s and 1997, the year when Korea was engulfed in a financial crisis, its corporate-sector profitability was on a decreasing trend, albeit short-term ups and downs. The evidence presented in the paper suggests that Korea's corporate and financial sectors had been highly vulnerable to a crisis for some years before 1997 and the actual timing of the crisis was triggered by the financial crisis in Thailand in July 1997 and its contagion effect.

We've already reviewed the specs for Parrot's AR.Drone and seen their in-house videos. But nothing compares to a first hand account of the quadricopter. It turns out that the battery life is about 15 minutes per charge, but unlike its controller (the iPhone) the battery is removable and replaceable. As you'll hear in the below video I inquired about price, but that has yet to be set.

Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney has been talking about a lack of "timely hitting" all season long. On Monday night, his team failed to deliver again.
The Goldeyes were held to two runs on 10 hits by five Gary SouthShore RailCats' pitchers, as Gary scored one in the first, two in the third, one in the fifth and three in the ninth and whipped Winnipeg 7-2.
With 5,477 spectators looking on at Shaw Park, the Goldeyes got five runners into scoring position in the final five innings, but couldn't bring any of them home and Winnipeg fell to the RailCats for the third straight night.
With the loss, Winnipeg dropped to 24-24 on the season and remained in third place in the American Association's North Division.
Gary opened the scoring with a run in the top of the first, but Winnipeg tied it in the bottom half of the second on a solo homer by Fehlandt Lentini.
Gary scored two in the third off Goldeyes starter Pete Gehle and then added another in the top of the fifth before Winnipeg scored on an infield single by Luis Alen, a single by Tyler Graham, a walk to Mike Coles and a balk by Gary starter Morgan Coombs.
And that was it. Gary added three runs in the ninth. Winnipeg made two errors in the ninth and finished with four miscues on the night.
Four Goldeyes had two-hit games: Graham, Alen, Josh Mazzola (who also picked up the 100th double of his pro career) and Ryan Scoma.
Coombs (4-1, 4.85 ERA) got the win while Gehle (3-2, 3.98 ERA) took the loss. Gehle allowed four runs on six hits over only 4.2 innings. There was no save.
The two teams will meet in the final game of this four-game series on Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m. at Shaw Park. Lefty Mark Hardy (5-2, 3.27 ERA) will start for Winnipeg while Will Krout (1-4, 5.29 ERA) will head to the bump for Gary.

Entropion is the turning in of an edge of an eyelid, causing the lashes to rub against the eye. It usually is seen on the lower eyelid.
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Entropion can be present at birth (congenital).
In babies, it rarely causes problems because the lashes are very soft and do not easily damage the eye. In older people, the condition is usually caused by a spasm or weakening of the muscles surrounding the lower part of the eye.
Although rare in North America and Europe, trachoma infection can cause scarring of the inner side of the lid, which may cause entropion. Trachoma scarring is one of the three leading causes of blindness in the world.
Risk factors for entropion are:
- Aging
- Chemical burn
- Infection with trachoma
- Decreased vision if the cornea is damaged
- Excessive tearing
- Eye discomfort or pain
- Eye irritation
- Redness
Signs and tests
Your health care provider can usually diagnose this condition by looking at your eyelids. Special tests are usually not necessary.
Artificial tears can keep the eye from becoming dry and may help you feel better. Surgery to correct the position of the eyelids usually works well.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook is usually good if the condition is treated before eye damage occurs.
Dry eye and irritation may increase the risk of:
- Corneal abrasions
- Corneal ulcers
- Eye infections
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- Your eyelids turn inward
- You constantly feel as though there is a something in your eye
If you have entropion, the following should be considered an emergency:
- Decreasing vision
- Light sensitivity
- Pain
- Eye redness that increases rapidly
Most cases cannot be prevented. Treatment reduces the risk of complications.
See your doctor if you have red eyes after visiting an area where there is trachoma (North Africa, South Asia).

Elvin Bishop
Spotlight show • The 70-year-old guitarist with his signature Red Dog guitar (Gibson ES-345) went solo in 1968. Before that he was an integral member of the influential Paul Butterfield Blues Band and a player on the seminal 1969 album "The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper." These days, Bishop lives off the royalties from his 1970s hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Directors Spike Lee, Paul Thomas Anderson and Rob Zombie are fans of the song, having used it in their movies. In a phone interview, Bishop said he performs only when he wants to, and that includes being a regular performer on blues cruises — he just got off one with Taj Mahal. During the week, Bishop lives in the northern California countryside and preserves up to 400 cans of the fruit annually from his 40 fruit trees. "I grew up on a farm and I know what real food tastes like," he said. Bishop will bring a stellar six-piece band with him to Park City, including the former bandleader of the late bluesman Albert King's band.

Movies • Listings by Sean Means
Oscar weekend is usually light on new releases — on the theory that Hollywood studios want to give everyone a last shot at the major nominees.
There are a couple studio films, which seem to further the theory that movie producers can hide bad films from critics anytime — but to hide them from their industry colleagues, nothing's better than Oscar weekend.
• "Snitch" is a message-heavy drama that promises to be action-packed — but delays all the action until the last 30 minutes. Dwayne Johnson stars as a construction company owner who tries to act when his son is caught in a DEA sting and faces 10 years in prison. After the movie's long-winded screed against mandatory-minimum sentences, Johnson's character makes a deal with an ambitious U.S. Attorney (Susan Sarandon) to go undercover and ferret out a drug dealer (Michael K. Williams) tied to a Mexican cartel boss (Benjamin Bratt). Johnson's acting chops are wanting, and the movie's action is too little, too late.
• The other studio film, the horror-thriller "Dark Skies," was not screened for critics. (Mike Ryan wrote a hilarious account of his thwarted attempt to see "Dark Skies" at a midnight public screening in New York last night.
• The Tower has two new titles this weekend. One is "John Dies at the End," a trippy and entertainingly bonkers horror/sci-fi mash-up about two slackers (Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes) who discover a street drug with supernatural connotations. The other is "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga," a documentary co-directed and narrated by Werner Herzog, an uneven portrait of Siberian fur trappers using ancient techniques as they battle the elements.

"What is the thing that Will could do to make me not love him? That would make me abandon him? I can't think of one. I'm sorry. Except if he did something bad to the kids — now we've got a problem."
She speaks on not having love for reality shows or tabloids.:
"I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been too. I've seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel. At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby."

- 2 quarts milk
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1/2 -inch pieces
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup dry red wine
- One 35-ounce can whole peeled Italian tomatoes, chopped, with their liquid
- One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 pounds ziti, preferably uncut
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese (4 1/2 ounces)
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk until bubbles appear around the edge. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour to the butter and whisk over moderately high heat until light golden, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the hot milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick, about 8 minutes. Season with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Press plastic wrap directly on the sauce and let cool.
- 2. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and brown it in 4 batches: For each batch, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large heavy casserole. Add one-fourth of the lamb and brown over high heat; transfer the lamb to a large platter as it's browned.
- 3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion to the casserole and cook over moderate heat until the onion is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, allspice and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, then the tomato paste. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the wine is nearly evaporated. Add the lamb along with the tomatoes and their liquid, the tomato sauce, oregano and sugar. Season the lamb mixture with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat until the lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
- 4. Meanwhile, cook the ziti in a large pot of boiling salted water until barely al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain well, blot dry with paper towels and let cool.
- 5. Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly butter two 13-by-9-inch baking dishes. Line the bottom of each dish with one-fourth of the ziti. Spread 2 cups of the white sauce on top of each, then cover with the lamb sauce and sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Top with the remaining ziti. Stir the egg yolks into the remaining white sauce and spread it over the ziti. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges of the ziti are golden and the sauce is bubbling. Let the Pastitsio stand for 20 minutes before cutting.
- Make Ahead: The Pastitsio can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a 325° oven.
- Wine Recommendation: 1996 Casal Thaulero Orsetto Oro Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

Beautiful level.
When you can get a super accurate level that's American Made for Under $50, it's a DEAL ! Kudos to SPG for offering this level.
This same level is listed at around $88.00 on the Sears website. Having used the level this weekend building shelves in the loft of my workshop, I can vouch for its accuracy. Not only is it a functional tool, it's nice a real pretty piece of work. The listing said it might have some discolored spots or blemishes, but not this one.
Can't wait to use this level on my next project looks like a fine quality tool Thank's sport'sman guide!!
Very poor quality. The level appeared to have been made out of cheap wood, not Mahogany nor any other quality wood. This item was made in the USA. This is important to me as I try to support companies that agree to stay here and not outsource to offshore facilities .
