My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I'm a fun, outgoing professional. Very into physical fitness. Pretty over the bar scene for meeting people, though I don't mind still going out with good company.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I used to be a lawyer, and now I'm an executive at a post production company. The winding road that led me here is about me wanting to be around creative pursuits. I can go on about this subject at much greater length.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Massage...I'm a very sensual and sexual person.
Listening...I'm a great listener, and problem solver...but I know that sometimes it's not about helping, just about listening.
Small talk...comes with the listening. I'm told I'm very witty. Actually, my whole life I was asked if I amuse myself. I figure the day I don't amuse myself what's the point anymore?

The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Eyes and smile
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I can go on and on here...very into reading, Movies, and TV...ask me...
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Friends, Family, Good food (not just sustenance), Exercise, Touch, Entertainment (I'm lumping Reading, Movies, TV, and Music together here - yes, I'm cheating, so sue me), in no particular order.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Life, The Universe, and Everything.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Depends on my mood...either out with friends or home reading...if I'm involved,hanging home watching TV or a movie, or going to dinner and a movie...I tend to do morning fitness classes on Saturday (Krav Maga, Fight, Bag) so try to avoid getting too crazy on Friday night, but if circumstances (birthday parties) demand it, then so be it...
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm very open if I feel comfortable with someone, but not for a public forum...I can promise that if we chat, I'll likely tell you anything you want to know...
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
you're a physically fit, attractive woman that's interested.

|Key Info
South Western House is a Grade II listed building, which was originally built in 1865. It is an historic landmark in the old dockland area of Southampton with some of the most momentous events of modern times. The hotel was acquired by the London and South Western Railway Company in 1871 with the hotel built over the ends of the railway lines. In 1912 many wealthy people stayed here before embarking on the 'Titanic'
Since then the hotel has been converted into one and two bedrooms apartments and we are fortunate to have eight apartments in this building. Imperial apartments is located in the heart of the city centre and ideally located for whether your stay is for business or leisure. The exact location is opposite the infamous Oxford Street; Oxford Street is home to many restaurants from Chinese, Italian, tapas to French bistros, and it is here that you will also find a selection of wine bars and pubs. A Tesco's Express is close by for your amenities you require throughout your stay and we do offer a selection of different food packs if required.
This apartment can be accessed by the lift or stairs and once inside there is a hallway which will lead you to the open plan lounge/kitchen.

The kitchen is fully equipped so you are not governed to hotel timetables- modern cooking utensils and equipment are supplied including pots and pans, microwave, oven/hob and fridge freezer to accommodate you throughout your stay. Plus there is a washing machine and clothes horse to cater for all your laundry needs.

The Hampshire region
Hampshire offers a wealth of treasures, from rolling countryside, unspoilt beaches, glorious gardens and pretty villages to ancient forests, bustling market towns, historic ships and imposing castles. If you like walking, cycling, horse riding or water sports there's plenty to keep you amused, while for shopping, food and drink, military heritage and award-winning attractions, Hampshire tops the lot. For entertaining days out, relaxing short breaks and fun family holidays, be sure to discover Hampshire.
The historic city of Southampton is much more than just a cruise stop or shopping destination. Its appeal lies in its diverse nightlife, exciting retail opportunities, varied leisure facilities, superb art and heritage attractions, lively events programme and of course the excitement and charm of a bustling waterfront location.
The superb Museum of Archaeology at God's House Tower is an ideal place to start your own tour of historical Southampton. Once part of the city's defences the museum is now home to one of the most interesting archaeology collections in England. This can be followed by a guided walk of the city's walls by the Southampton Tourist Guides.
The city's Maritime Museum tells the story of this important port and is home to the Titanic Exhibition, where visitors can re-live the ill-fated story of this famous ship. Whilst close by Solent Sky depicts the history of aviation in the Solent area and tells the story of the legendary Spitfire designed in Southampton.
Few places can match Southampton's cultural offerings including the magnificent award-winning City Art Gallery and Southampton Guildhall, as well as a superb choice of fine theatres, galleries and international events such as the annual Boat Show.
With the magnificent WestQuay, Southampton has added to its extensive portfolio a state of the art shopping facility with almost a hundred shops, whilst close by are three further excellent shopping centres as well as the traditional specialist shops making Southampton the top shopping destination in the South of England.
Southampton's exciting nightlife is renowned in the region with its historic pubs, funky bars and music venues. You may prefer to take it easy and linger in one of the city's cool cafés and restaurants with menus from all over the world or enjoy the waterfront setting at Ocean Village with its popular restaurants and bars whilst close by Oxford Street, which buzzes with great places to eat and drink, is well worth a visit.
Situated in the shelter of Southampton Water, and right in the heart of Southampton, Ocean Village is more than a marina. Surrounded by a wealth of shops, restaurants, cinemas and bars, it offers outstanding recreational facilities. Overlooking the marina is The Royal Southampton Yacht Club which, although a members club, offers berth holders and visitors a warm and friendly welcome.
The basin, formerly used for commercial ships, is deep enough to offer mooring facilities for tall ships and large yachts. It has also become famous for hosting the start and / or finish of around the world yacht races.
From the marina, there is direct access to superb and varied cruising. To the west is the picturesque Beaulieu River and the surrounding New Forest. Portsmouth Harbour lies only a few miles to the east and is home to a large fleet of modern and historic warships.

The two plates are also provided with one or more protuberances and depressions correspond- UNITED STATES PATENTS ing to each other and adapted to engage each other when the 1,303,401 5/1919 Sanger 24/218 plates are secured to one another by means of said pin.
I 7l 4 I Patented Aug. 3, 1971 FIG] mvEmoR CLAES VIYLHELM ALLANDER BY flmd k ORNEYS ATTACHMENTS FOR REARVIEW MIRRORS This invention relates to an attachment for rearview mirrors and the like in automotive vehicles, said attachment comprising a plate fixedly secured to an arm for the mirror, and a plate attachable to the vehicle. The attachment is essentially characterized in that one plate has a projecting pin provided with a head, while the other plate has a reces corresponding to said pin and bar springs or the like at the edges of the recess for securing the plates to each other when the pin engages the recess, and in that both plates are provided with one or more protuberances and depressions corresponding to and adapted to engage each other when said plates are secured to one another.
The present invention provides a rearview mirror at tachment, the components of which can be detached from one another when the forces and moments occurring between the components exceed certain predetermined values which are a combination of certain breakofi' functions. The breakoff characteristics thus are essentially independent of the direction of thebreakoff forces, which is of paramount importance for the prevention of damage.
The invention will now be described in detail, reference being had to the accompanying drawing illustrating an embodiment, chosen by way of example, of the mirror attachment of the invention.
In the drawing:
FIG. I is a lateral view of the attachment, partly in section along line l-l in FIG. 2;
FIG. 2 shows the attachment viewed from below; and
FIG. 3 is a section along line Ill-Ill in FIG. 2.
l is the arm to the outer end 2 of which the mirror is to be attached. A plate 3 is fixedly connected with the inner end of the arm 1. Together with the plate 4 which is to be attached to the vehicle body, for instance the ceiling 5, the plate 3 forms the rearview mirror attachment.
' The plate 3 has a projecting pin 6 provided with a head, and the plate 4 has a recess 7 for receiving the pin 6 and bar springs 8 and 9 or the like at the edges of said recess for fixing the plates 3 and 4 to each other when the pin 6 engages the recess 7. Thus, the bar springs 8 and 9 are adapted to engage the constricted portion of the pin 6 below the head thereof. In addition, the two plates 3 and 4 have protuberances l and depressions 11 corresponding to and adapted to engage each other when the plates 3 and 4 are secured to one another.
The bar springs 8 and 9 are placed each in one groove 12 and 13 in the plate 4. When the bar springs are two, as in the illustrated embodiment, the grooves 12 and 13 are preferably parallel. The grooves 12 and 13 are so formed as to fix the ends of the bar springs 8 and 9, but permit the remaining portions of said bar springs 8 and 9 to move in a plane parallel to the plate 4. The groove depth being approximately equal to the diameter of the bar springs 8 and 9, and the plate 4 being secured to a fixed base, the bar springs 8 and 9 are practically immovable at right angles to the plate 4.
According to a simple embodiment, the plate 3 could have but one protuberance 10 or depression 11, while the plate 4 would then have a corresponding depression 11 or protuberance 10. According to the illustrated and preferred embodiment, however, both plates 3 and 4 are provided with the mating protuberances l0 and depressions 11 at points diametrically located relative to the pin 6 and the recess 7. The protuberances 10 could be in the form of warts, but for production technical reasons they consist preferably of a beam extending on both sides of the pin 6 and the recess 7, respectively. The beam has a rounded, preferably essentially semicircular cross section, as is indicated in H6. 1.
arm 1 is fixed against rotation by the engagement of the protuberances 10 with the depressions 1 l.
The arm is broken'off when the load thereon exceeds the value corresponding to the maximum capacity of the bar springs 8 and 9 of holding the pin 6. The protuberances l0 and the depressions I] serve to fix the components of the attachment relative to each other against rotation and to push the attachment components apart upon breakage due to a torque so that the pin 6 is disengaged from the bar springs 8 and 9.
The invention is not limited to the above described and illustrated embodiment but can be modified within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

The president made many references and examples about teaching the people of Africa how to do their own development of their own soil. However, he opposed others doing the work for the people of Africa and encouraged self-development. Mr. Clinton also gave plenty of examples of the people of Africa willingness to learn and work their own land. The large crowd was also energized by Chelsea Clinton, Robin Thick and L.L Cool J. The entire event lasted one hour and the former president spoke for around ten minutes. The event was held on the south side of the Paramount Studios lot. It was a great event Paramount Studios was the perfect location such an event. The proceeds from the event are allocated to the Clinton Foundation which is dedicated to empowering people that desperately want to learn how to be self sufficient.

CB-1 Rogue Camber Bar is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tyler Shibley from Amazing!! I got my camber bar about a week ago along with a number of other products from Rogue and it far exceeded my expectations. Its a very heavy bar(85lbs) and extremely challenging to squat with. It is cool how you can position your hands lower instead of the regular straight bar set up. It swings back and forth abit so helps build stability a lot more than a regular bar. I also didn't realize it was fully welded together which is awesome. I really don't know how someone would break this bar. It will survive the test of time. Get this bar!!
Date published: 2013-12-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by J.Brownlee from Great Bar for mixing up squat training. We bought this bar to add variety to our conjugate method strength training and couldn't be happier with it. Invite your hips to your next squat workout :)

$3.28 Million Grant to Support In-depth, Explanatory Reporting
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At a time of uncertainty and transition in the news media, the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication announced today a unique partnership with the California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF) to undertake in-depth reporting on health policy issues throughout the state.
Funded by a three-year $3,285,000 grant, the California HealthCare Foundation Center for Health Reporting at the Annenberg School for Communication will team up with journalists of both traditional and emerging media to report on the most vexing health care issues facing the state: quality, access and cost.
"We are pleased and excited to launch such a critical venture with the California HealthCare Foundation," said USC Annenberg Dean Ernest J. Wilson III. "In an era when traditional media are facing shrinking resources to cover the important issues of our society, we are fulfilling one of the school's critical tenets: to be of service to all people. There is no better time, and no better topic."
Throughout its 12-year history, CHCF has shown a strong commitment to supporting and producing non-partisan research and analysis to support evidence-based decision-making in government and the private sector.
"At this very turbulent time in the evolution of California's media, it is important to support thoughtful explanatory reporting on these crucial health care issues," said Mark D. Smith, M.D., M.B.A., president and CEO of the Oakland-based California HealthCare Foundation.
Leading the Center will be USC Professor Michael Parks, the Pulitzer Prize-winning former Los Angeles Times editor, who recently completed a seven year term as director of the journalism school at USC Annenberg.

American Pastoral filming ends with bang in Harmony: Fake post office set ablaze in scene
October 7, 2015By Amerigo Allegretto
Smoke and flames are seen during filming of an explosion Friday at a fake post officebuilt in Harmony for the movie American Pastoral.
HARMONY The final day of shooting a movie in the borough ended Friday with a bang.
The borough was the setting last week for work by Lakeshore Entertainment for its film American Pastoral, starring Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning.
Friday's filming in the downtown area included the controlled compression explosion involving a fake post office that was built for the film. The post office, which also serves as a gas station and a general store in the movie, took eight days to build on an empty gravel lot across from the fire station.
The explosives detonated about 6:30 p.m. Friday. Air compressors and a few flame bars were used in the explosion, breaking the glass windows. Water was sprayed around the building before filming to prevent accidental fire.
Another scene with a local actor walking into the store was shot before that.
The post office, called Hamlins had makeup work done to it last Monday for a post explosion look. For last week's filming, the building was reverted back to a clean appearance.
The borough volunteer fire department was on hand Friday for safety.
They're well prepared, Fire Chief Neal Nanna said of the film crew. They spent a lot of money. It's very good for the area.
Main Street and Mercer Road were closed for all three days of shooting, with about five crossing guards controlling traffic flow. Street signs were taken down to create the illusion of another town.
Some of the movie takes place in a fictional New Jersey town called Old Rimrock.
Harmony Mayor Cathy Rape said while filming was very nice, there were some difficulties with traffic.
Actor Ewan McGregor drives a car for a scene from the movie American Pastoral inHarmony. Camera equipment was attached to the hood and roof of the car for filming.
She said some school buses on Monday morning were unaware of the filming and they had to take detours around town, delaying their schedule.
Rape also said scheduling with film crews could be hard to pinpoint.
The times changed hourly for what they (film crew) wanted to do or what they would use, she said.
Along with that, there were concerns that the weekend flea market would have problems setting up in the Harmony Museum. The flea market takes place each year in the museum where film crews set up base camp for the week.
However, the borough was able to work with the film crew to organize setup for the flea market.
It taught us about better communication, Rape said.
The week's work of filming was supposed to have been done by Wednesday. However, rain on Monday delayed shooting and work was postponed to Thursday and Friday.
On Friday evening McGregor, who also is directing the movie, thanked spectators for letting him and the film crew use the borough.
By the weekend, the rubble was cleaned up and the film crew were gone from the borough. McGregor and company will be in downtown Pittsburgh later this month to shoot more scenes.
McGregor was in town for all three days of shooting. Connelly and Fanning were also in town for their scenes.
The movie is based on the 1997 Philip Roth novel of the same name that won a Pulitzer Prize.
American Pastoral is scheduled to be released in 2016.

Ewan McGregors Faith-Based Last Days in the Desert Bought by Broad Green
September 8, 2015By Dave McNary
Broad Green Pictures has acquired Rodrigo Garcias Last Days in the Desert, starring Ewan McGregor in a dual role as Jesus and the Devil, for a 2016 release.
The film also stars Tye Sheridan, Ciaran Hinds and Ayelet Zurer. Producers are Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn of Mockingbird Pictures and Wicks Walker of Division Films.
Last Days in the Desert premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It follows Jesus in an imagined chapter from his forty days of fasting and praying in the desert, including a battle with the Devil over the fate of an ordinary family in crisis.
The cinematographer is Emmanuel Chivo Lubezki, who has won the last two Oscars for best cinematography for Birdman and Gravity. Garcia worked with Lubezki on Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, which was awarded Un Certain Regard at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
Broad Green Pictures will release the film through do-it-yourself distributor Tugg, the first time the two companies have partnered on a release following Broad Greens investment in Tugg last year. Last Days will also be supported through specialty marketing agency Different Drummer.
Last Days in the Desert is an ambitious and unique film that deserves an equally-as-unique release plan and pattern, said Dylan Wiley, Broad Greens president of specialty releasing.
The deal was brokered on behalf of the filmmakers by WME Global, while Wiley and Christopher Tricarico handled for Broad Green Pictures. Hanway Films is handling international sales for the film.

Ewan McGregor Interested in Star Wars, Trainspotting 2
6/22/2015By Simon Brew
As well as returning for Trainspotting 2, Ewan McGregor confirms his interest in playing Obi-Wan Kenobi again in more Star Wars films.
Rumours were swirling around a few weeks ago that Ewan McGregor may be lured back to the Star Wars saga, to reprise the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. McGregor played the role in George Lucas prequel trilogy of movies, and given that Gareth Edwards Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One (due in 2016) is set between Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope, there had been talk of crossing some actors over.
Chatting at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, McGregor said that "Id be happy to do the story from episode three where I finish up and Alec Guinness started."
"Its not a fanatical thing," he said. "Im really pleased Im part of the legacy of it and happy to see it, and Ive seen the trailer and it looks like theyve absolutely nailed it."
Furthermore, McGregor - who was promoting his latest film, The Last Days In The Desert - has also confirmed hes enthusiastic about reprising the role of Renton in Trainspotting 2. Of his well-reported rift with director Danny Boyle (which came about when the latter replaced McGregor with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach), he said that "Ive met with Danny a few times recently and everything is great between us."
As for Trainspotting 2, "we dont have a script yet, and nothing has been determined, but it would make sense for the sequel to be made in 2016, the 20th anniversary of the original."

Roger Moore, Ewan McGregor and Stephen Fry lend their voices to educational mobile app for kids
Thursday 18th June 2015By Adrian Collins
Some of the worlds leading actors have joined forces in a new childrens educational project called GivingTales.
It aims to produce engaging and entertaining versions of popular childrens fairy tales, while helping to teach and educate children worldwide, and is committing 30% of its revenue to Unicef to help children around the world.
Developed in association with Roger Moore, Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and featuring the voice talents of world-renowned actors including Ewan McGregor, Unicef UK Ambassador, Stephen Fry, and Dame Joan Collins, Hans Christian Andersens timeless fairy tales have now been modernised and condensed into colorful illustrations that capture the enjoyable life-lessons that are synonymous with Andersens stories.
Available for free download starting today on Apple, Android, and Windows Phone 8 mobile devices, the app comes with The Princess and the Pea (Sir Roger Moore, KBE), and each additional story is available for download for $3.99 each. Other available stories in the first series include: The Emperors New Clothes (Dame Joan Collins, DBE), The Little Match Girl (Ewan McGregor, OBE) and The Ugly Duckling (Stephen Fry).
Speaking about the launch, Moore said "Ive been a long time admirer of Hans Christian Andersens work, and I think its a wonderful collection of fairy stories for children and adults alike", while Stephen Fry highlighted that Andersens tales deal with many universal issues, such as bravery, selflessness and compassion: "The Ugly Duckling is the primal story about bullying and self belief - it is a marvelous tale".

Ewan McGregor secures sponsorship deal for South American road trip
Monday 8 June 2015
Ewan McGregor has become the latest Hollywood star to strike a major commercial deal, after he was signed up by a classic Italian motorcycling marque for his latest road trip.
The Trainspotting and Star Wars actor ready to tackle an expedition down to the tip of South America.
The 44-year-old Scottish actor has already circumnavigated the globe and ridden its length on motorbike, with friend Charlie Boorman, for the TV documentary Long Way Down.
However, for the stars latest trip he has swapped his faithful BMW motorcycle for a Motor Guzzi and has become the face of the oldest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe.
Launching the firms California Eldorado cruiser, McGregor said he was already planning a trial run. "Id love to do South America one day; all of it.
"But I think the next one will be Mexico or Baja.
"Id like to explore Baja. Ive never done it and I know a lot of bikers go there and its like good trails, good tracks, off road, on road.
"So I think that will be my next trip."
The Baja California Penninsula, in North-West Mexico, is over 770 miles long, and one of the countrys most in hospitable regions with four deserts, and several dormant volcanoes.
It would serve as a warm-up for the almost 7,000 miles ride from Southern California to Tierra del Fuego, in Chile.
In 2004 McGregor and his best friend Charley Boorman travelled from London to New York, The Long Way Round, in a 22,000 mile trip.
They followed it up with another epic journey, the Long Way Down, from John OGroats to the southernmost point in South Africa.
The televisions series of the two marathon journeys - broadcast on the BBC - became a worldwide hit.
McGregor - a longtime ambassador for the childrens charity UNICEF also found a new member of his family on the road.
He and his wife Ève adopted daughter Jamiyan from Mongolia in 2006.
McGregor broke his Long Way Down journey to stop off at Moto Guzzis head quarters at Mandello del Lario for the first time. The company launched their own Stelvio adventure bike to rival the BMW model McGregor and Boorman rode on their journeys.
The actor, who has several vintage models of the Italian marques in his collection, said: "I do ride them all and I ride them wherever I am going far or going just round the corner, it doesnt really matter.
"Ive got some early 70s bikes that I love to ride around. Ive got a Norge, really for my dad to ride around when he came to visit me, but Im riding that all the time as well. I seven have a 1974 Eldorado police bike with a siren on it. Mine is a bit distressed - it looks like it came out of a river.
"I like nothing better than once the children are in bed, getting down to working, tinkering with my bikes."
The actors French-born wife Ève Mavrakis learned to ride a motorbike, joining him on a stage of his African odyssey.
Before then, McGregor is due to talk about his acting career as part of this years Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Ewan McGregor set for directing debut on American Pastoral
February 18, 2015By Oliver Gettell
Actor Ewan McGregor has a new role lined up for himself: director. The 43-year-old Scotsman will make his feature directorial debut on a long-gestating adaptation of Philip Roths Pulitzer Prize winner "American Pastoral," Lakeshore Entertainment announced Wednesday.
McGregor was set to star opposite Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning in the film, which features a screenplay by John Romano ("The Lincoln Lawyer"). Phillip Noyce ("Salt," "The Giver") had been attached to direct; Lakeshore offered no explanation as to why Noyce is no longer on the project.
Filming is scheduled to start in September in Pittsburgh.
In front of the camera, McGregor will play Seymour "Swede" Levov, a former high school athletic star who grows up to marry a beauty queen and inherits his fathers business, only to see his family life thrown into chaos by the political upheavals of the late 1960s.
McGregor has long alternated between edgy indie fare and mainstream entertainments. He recently appeared in a Broadway revival of Tom Stoppards "The Real Thing," the Johnny Depp bomb "Mortdecai" and Rodrigo Garcias Sundance film "Last Days in the Desert," in which he plays both Jesus and the Devil.
"Ive wanted to direct for years and wanted to wait until I found a story that I had to tell," McGregor said in the announcement for "American Pastoral." "And in this script I knew I had found that story."

Thursday 22nd January 2015By Sheena McGinley
There Ewan is, jovially quipping about secret zips located behind sporrans laying out all sort of visual gems for Jimmy while he seems to be on a five-second delay. Shame.
When you think about it, a zip behind a sporran (or at least some buttons less Theres Something About Mary risk of involved) would be ingenious. That way they wouldnt have to haul up their kilt while using the toilet. Im assuming they dont pull it down... OK, heres the question of the day how do you use the toilet while wearing a kilt? Answers on a postcard please.

Ewan McGregor gives backstage commencement speech
December 16, 2014By Mara Siegler
Ewan McGregor gave an unusual commencement speech to a sole student on Sunday.
Rae Gray, 22, is an understudy in McGregors Broadway show The Real Thing.
She graduated from the University of Chicago over the weekend, but couldnt attend a ceremony due to her commitment to the play, also starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Cynthia Nixon.
To make up for it, McGregor gave Gray, who donned a graduation cap, a speech backstage at the American Airlines Theatre before a matinee.

Watch the trailer for Humpback Whales, narrated by Ewan McGregor!
An extraordinary journey into the hidden world of natures most awe-inspiring marine mammal, Humpback Whales takes audiences to Alaska, Hawaii and the Kingdom of Tonga for a close-up look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young. Captured for the first time with IMAX® 3D cameras, and found in every ocean on Earth, humpbacks were nearly driven to extinction 50 years ago, but today are making a steady recovery. Join a team of researchers as they unlock the secrets of the humpback and find out what makes humpbacks the most acrobatic of all whales, why only the males sing, and why these intelligent 50-foot, 48-ton animals migrate more than 6,000 miles every year.
Humpback Whales is produced and distributed by MacGillivray Freeman Films and presented by Pacific Life. A One World One Ocean production, Humpback Whales is directed by two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Greg MacGillivray (The Living Sea, Dolphins) and produced by Shaun MacGillivray (To The Arctic, Journey to the South Pacific). Filmed in 15/70mm, Humpback Whales is written and edited by Stephen Judson (Everest, Journey to the South Pacific). The musical score is by Steve Wood (Journey to the South Pacific, To The Arctic).

Ewan McGregor to voice whale documentary
Wed, Dec 10, 2014

The actor, who was considered for the lead role in a biopic on the life of anti-whaling captain Paul Watson, has signed on for director Greg MacGillivrays Humpback Whales, a 3-D IMAX film that promises to take audiences to the underwater world of the far away places where humpbacks live and thrive.

Humpback whales are simply fascinating creatures. Audiences will get an immersive look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young on the biggest screen in South Florida, said President and CEO Kim Cavendish.
McGregor has previously lent his voice to other environmental documentaries such as 2013s Wild Scotland and the more recent Ice Bear.
Humpback Whales is slated for release on Feb. 13, 2015.

See Ewan McGregor as Jesus in Sundance exclusive
By Jeff LabrecqueDec 9, 2014
When the trades announced last February that Albert Nobbs director Rodrigo García was making a small indie starring Ewan McGregor in dual roles, his characters were described as a holy man and a demon. But unveiled in yesterdays announcement of Premieres for the 2015 Sundance Film Festival were the more specific details for Last Days in the Desert that said holy man and demon are actually Jesus and the Devil, in an imagined chapter from his 40 days of fasting and praying in the desert.
In the film, YeshuaHebrew for Jesusis tempted by evil while alone in the wilderness. You can see the demon as the Devil, says McGregor. Or you can see him as another side of Yeshua perhaps, an embodiment of his doubt. Hes there testing him into trying to suggest that his father doesnt love him, that his fathers not interested in his struggle.
While in the desert, Yeshua also encounters a family that is experiencing its own father/son difficulties. Tye Sheridan (Mud) plays the Boy who wants to leave their bleak desert surroundings and travel to Jerusalem for a better life; his Father (Ciarán Hinds) insists he stay close to home.
Playing Jesus Christ and the Devil was initially intimidating for McGregor, who was immediately won over by Garcías spare and intimate 62-page script and the lure of working with Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. It helped to tap into the duality of Jesus and focus more on the human aspects of his character. I thought, Okay, hes a man whos struggling to communicate with his dad, says McGregor. I felt actually the pressure come off myself. Im not playing Jesus; Im playing a man whose dad is God and hes trying to speak to his dad. Its really a film about the relationship between fathers and their sons. In every scene of the film, thats at the heart of it.
McGregor played both main characters, with his longtime stunt double Nash Edgerton standing in for those scenes between Yeshua and the Devil. I played Yeshua with total conviction that he was the son of God and that his father had asked him to go on this path, which would lead him to deathto die for peoples sinsand I tried to imagine what that might be like for a man, he says. And then when I played the demon, I was trying to chip away at that conviction. The demons trying to drag him away from that.
That much is very much in line with the Biblical narrative, the story of Jesus being tempted by the Devil during 40 days of fasting in the wilderness, but McGregor is careful to leave the door wide open to interpretation. Its not a Biblical story. Its a story that Rodrigo García invented, he says. You could watch the film and not think that its Jesus. He could just be another holy guy, a rabbi, walking in the desert, looking for answers.
McGregor doesnt think this reimagining of Jesuss life will generate any controversy, like it did for Martin Scorsese and The Last Temptation of Christ. Theres nothing possibly that could upset people [in the film], other than the very nature of imagining a story with Jesus that doesnt exist in the Scripture, he says. Theres nothing offensive. Im not worried about it, because I believe very much in the heart of the film we made.

Ewan McGregor, Olivia Wilde to appear in Doll & Em series two
Wednesday, Dec 3 2014By Rachel Babbage
Ewan McGregor and Olivia Wilde are amongst the names announced for series two of Doll & Em (on HBO).
They will be joined by Evan Rachel Wood and Mikhail Baryshnikov in the series, which stars Emily Mortimer and Dolly Wells.
Evan Rachel Wood described Mortimer and Wells as some of the loveliest and most hilarious people I have ever worked with. Being on the show has been an absolute joy.
Wood and Wilde will be seen playing stage versions of Doll and Em, as the pair write an off-Broadway play about themselves in the new series.
However, the production and the girls friendship are both jeopardised when Em is cast opposite McGregor in a big-budget Hollywood action movie.

Jane Got A Gun release delayed again now set for September
December 3, 2014
Hopefully the third times the charm. Relativity again has delayed the release for the Natalie Portman Western Jane Got A Gun. The troubled production now is slated to bow September 4, more than half a year later than its previous February 20 date. The pic, which has been through three bad guys, two directors and one lawsuit, initially had been scheduled to release this summer. As of now, its only up against Sony/Columbia comedy Kitchen Sink on the new slot.
Oscar winner Portman plays Jane Hammond, who has built a new life with her husband Bill Ham Hammond (Noah Emmerich) after being tormented by ultraviolent outlaw gang the Bishop Boys. She finds herself in the gangs cross-hairs once again when Ham stumbles home riddled with bullets after dueling with the Boys and their relentless mastermind Colin (Ewan McGregor, who replaced Bradley Cooper, who had replaced Jude Law). With the vengeful crew hot on Hams trail, Jane has nowhere to turn but to her former fiancé Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) for help in defending her family against certain mayhem.
Gavin OConnor directs, having taken over after Lynne Ramsay exited the project on the first day of production.

Hasselblad (perhaps a 500C).
The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention
Francis Bacon
Start with a C330f or s, 80+135mm: CHEAP lenses,parts, everything, CLD(you can do it yourself) & then Rolleiflex SL66se. I'd to wait 3 years before this last baby came by! EXPENSIVE ! parts,lenses, everything, CLD(you can't do anything yourself, don't even touch it !) . http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showima...mageuser=26518 , http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showima...mageuser=26518 , http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showima...mageuser=26518 , http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showima...mageuser=26518. But why my dear TS won't you go for the best of both worlds ? Mamiya RZ67 pro ii ! With a marker you draw a cm. less in the viewer and there you are 6x6 no landscape or portrait changes for you! With all the lenses/parts/macro/backs (digital too!) or whatever your weary hart could wish for ! And prices are a shame Happy searching.

That will work great for closer portraits and such but not true macro. If macro is a top priority then a TLR is not what he wants. I have nothing against TLRs, I love them and own many but they are not the right tool for macro work.

My favorite medium format camera that I have owned is my Hasselblad 500cm but for portraiture I favored the RZ67 that I used to own. With it's bellows focussing you can focus really close and Mamiya also offers extension tubes for it. I realize it's not square like you asked.
The Rollie SL66 is a very fine camera. It also has bellows focussing like the Mamiya RZ and is square format like the Hasselblad. It is also expensive like Hasselblad. A very good friend of mine has one and loves it. The only problem is that it is getting harder and harder to find parts for these cameras or so my friend tells me. It would be something to look into before purchasing one.

An SLR is a natural choice for macro work.
TLR can be smaller and lighter but I would not necessarily say they are more convenient. You can't change lenses on most of them. There is no autofocus or built in metering. There are no motor drives. Frankly they are quite restrictive in comparison to SLRs. I am not the kind of person that likes to fiddle with knobs and levers. With some medium format SLRs all you have to do is turn them on, focus, and shoot. The camera takes care of the rest. If you want more control you can set the aperture.
To be honest your criteria are not all that restrictive. Any number of camera systems would work for you. The only recommendation I can come up with is SLR because of the Macro work.

His enlarger only works up to 6x6.
Originally Posted by jernejk

I would suggest 2 cameras.
A TLR for general purpose work, including some macro work, plus an SLR oriented toward macro.
A Mamiya C series TLR with a 65mm and 135mm lens set will do most of the work. If you add a paramender, it works well for close focus up to about 0.8 life size (with the 65mm lens).
6x6 in the SLR world means, most likely, either Hasselblad or Bronica. It will cost you a bit to outfit them for macro work, but they are wonderful cameras. Hasselblad will most likekly be serviceable for longer.
If you consider 645, that would expand your SLR choices to Mamiya, Pentax or Contax. Mamiya or Pentax can be had fairly inexpensively with close focus lenses + extension tubes.
If you expand your choice to 6x7, the Mamiya RB67 is cheap, easy to use and has built in close focus capabilities with most lenses. It is very big, however.
I am a Mamiya user - C330 TLR, 645 Pro and RB67.
The attached was shot with the RB67 and the 140mm macro lens (+ the #1 extension tube - maybe ). The non-macro lenses like the 65mm or 90mm will give you higher magnifications, at the expense of some flat-field performance.
Photography is a complex and fluid medium, and its many factors are not applied in simple sequence. Rather, the process may be likened to the art of the juggler in keeping many balls in the air at one time!
Ansel Adams, from the introduction to The Negative - The New Ansel Adams Photography Series / Book 2
I'd also go for the two camera approach. Actually, three cameras.
1) Folding camera for landscapes, street work and occasional portraits. Very portable.
2) TLR for street work and portraits and landscapes. Sort of portable, depending on which camera you buy.
3) SLR for macro work, portraits and landscapes. Not as portable and probably not the best choice for street work.

I use a Rollei TLR, but if you want macro, get an SLR. I know you can get the bits and bobs, and they're actually pretty nice, but an SLR is very much the best choice I think. I like Hasselblad, but looking at the SL66, I'd be very tempted with that.

Capital Taxation During the U.S. Great Depression
Ellen R. McGrattan
NBER Working Paper No. 16588
Previous studies of the U.S. Great Depression find that increased taxation contributed little to either the dramatic downturn or the slow recovery. These studies include only one type of capital taxation: a business profits tax. The contribution is much greater when the analysis includes other types of capital taxes. A general equilibrium model extended to include taxes on dividends, property, capital stock, and excess and undistributed profits predicts patterns of output, investment, and hours worked more like those in the 1930s than found in earlier studies. The greatest effects come from the increased tax on corporate dividends.

Developments in Syria continue to take alarming twists - not least with the latest eyewitness accounts coming out of Homs.
To mark the start of Lent 2012, there is a departure from the usual style of my podcast regional analysis of the Middle East and North Africa for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales (CBCEW).
HG Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, has issued a careful and thoughtful statement on the first anniversary of the uprising in Egypt's Tahrir Square, which took place on the 25 January 2011.
Regional analyst and Ekklesia associate Dr Harry Hagopian will be expert commentator assisting the presenter for the Al-Jazeera (English) from 7:30 till 10:30 PM tonight (31 January 2012).
A Christian-Muslim consultation on the Christian presence and witness in the Middle East took place at the Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias, Lebanon, from 24-28 January 2012.
My latest 12-minute interview has been with BBC Wiltshire Radio on the evolving situation in Syria. Bishop Declan Lang is Bishop of the Clifton Catholic Diocese and I am his Middle East and North Africa advisor.
Can we expect 2012 to be as monumentally eventful in the Middle East as 2011? Perhaps even more so.

I just sent a text message to my phone with picture and it downloaded. The other day a friend with Sprint sent me a picture and it downloaded just fine. We are both using the Handcent App for texting. I've had more than one friend on Verizon send me a text msg with picture and at least one on Sprint, and that's when I had the issue downloading the attachment. Maybe they are doing something wrong on their end.
I have had the same problem with my daughters phone. HTC EVO SHIFT 4G. Two replacement phones. two calls to tech support. factory reset. battery removal. phone settings. can't send or receive in text. doesn't matter carrier, verizon, sprint, etc. Hit "download" button and get " service denied". went into account and checked for blocks and permission settings..... everything is good there. Has to be deep in sprint system somewhere. Tried advanced support, kept getting disconnected, very frustrating. been a sprint customer long, long time.
I am having the same issue on my EVO. Not using WI-FI and it used to work before. Getting "message not downloaded, unknown error" or the message just shows "downloading..." Has anyone been able to get a fix for this?
I had this problem with my new HCT Shift. Go to settings then system updates, and choose the HTC software update. Make sure your battery is charged. After the update go back to text you should be able to download now.
I have the HTC EVO 4G and I am not having any luck with getting my pictures from text that people are sending me. I tired to update but I am at the latest verson, also retarting, updating firmware, updating profile, and updating PRL. I also did the battery cycle, plus did find that I don't have a 3rd party photo message receiver. I am kind of techie but this has me quite interested on the final solution. Also I am on 3G trying to download the picture, but also tried to do 4G and WiFi. When I hit download it just stays like if it download but I have been downloading for the past two/three days. Not cool. Still no pictures...but I see them on pictures.sprintpcs.com, that does not do me any good when I want to save them onto the device. And I almost forgot I went ahead on sending myself a photo too without any results. And I deleted any old pictures waiting to be downloading thinking that might help with the order of downloads being in Queue. Again nothing, no pictures.
It could be a connectivity problem. I had the same issue. I called Sprint customer service line for help. They tried to reset my phone with out doing a "hard reset" but no luck. Eventually they decided they would send me a new phone. But I still wasn't ready to give up on my phone (I had so much info on my phone I didnt want to lose it). So I started looking my message settings again. I noticed that in the "Connection settings" all of the fields (Name,MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port, MMS protocol) were empty. Of course, I didn't know what should go in each field, so out I frustration I decided to HARD RESET my phone(losing most of my info). After that, all the fields was filled and I was able to receive and send pictures messages. Just in case it happens again, I wrote down all the information in each field so I can enter everything manually.
I had the same problem: Unable to download message - Service Denied, I had my Sprint Hot Spot turned on at the time. So I turned off the Sprint Hot Spot and everything was fine, downloaded OK.
I have the HTC EVO and can not open picture text. It says downloading and nothing happens. please help!
I am having the same problem with my phone.
It acts like it is downloading the pictures and it never does.
what do i do??
