It is a large room of 50 square meters with sauna, mini hydro pool, a shower with waterfall with multicolor led over a lot of space for relaxation sessions.
Would never rent again. Owner, Marco, was awkward to deal with and I had a lot of difficulty getting my deposit back, I do not he would have returned it had I not hassled him. All the shower heads on the ground floor are broken and the water goes everywhere. Not at all like the pictures
We were 3 couples, and we booked this villa over a year ago because of the description and pictures online. When we arrived, we were overcome with how beautiful the home and the surrounding countryside was - my friend even cried! The villa is very well-maintained, with lovely terraces, a comfortable living/dining room, a well-equipped kitchen, the bedrooms offered privacy and the beds were comfortable. We did not use the spa, and unfortunately it was too cool to use the very nice pool. We ate dinner every night at the villa because we didn't want to miss the sunsets from the front terrace. Marco and a very nice woman cooked us dinner one night, and Marco stayed to share a glass of wine with us afterwards and to answer our many questions about life in Italy. We had a car for most of the days to travel to other towns, and used taxis when needed to get to and from Siena. Marco is a gracious and responsive host and I would highly recommend this beautiful villa to a group of friends/family traveling together- it was the highlight of our trip!
Well equiped comfortable villa, conveniently close to the city that offers spectacular views of Tuscany. Perfect for friends and family. The location is ideally suited to explore the surrounding villages and cities. The villa is furnished with all the conveniences expected from a country home and more! We really enjoyed our stay and could not fault any of the home's features. Thanks to our host Marco.
La villa è molto bella ed accogliente sia dentro che fuori. E' molto spaziosa, la zona giorno è spaziosa per 10 persone. Le stanze ed i bagni sono puliti e dotati di tutti gli accessori. Il proprietario è stato molto gentile e disponibile.
With four of us meeting in Tuscany to celebrate the birthday of one of the people In our party, everyone had a special request for the ideal vacation home. One person had to have air-conditioning. Another wanted WiFi. Yet another wanted everyone to have their own bathroom. Everyone wanted a beautiful view and a place not too far from things to do. As the person responsible for doing the research I thought it would be impossible to find this perfect place...but this is it! Much larger than we needed, it has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs are another two bathrooms and bedrooms. All are comfortable with windows with screens for fresh air and shutters to keep the light out when needed. As someone else wrote, the kitchen is not a gourmet's delight, but it has everything needed to prepare meals and plenty of dishes, glasses, and cutlery. Our favorite part was the outside. There are two large patios and a large, clean swimming pool. It is a gated compound and feels very safe. Although we had cars and could drive to Siena, we took a taxi into town one day when it was raining and it only cost $12 euros. The drivers knew the address with no problems. Whether you are a small group who like space and privacy or a large family who needs a lot of sleeping quarters, you will find this villa more than adequate, quite comfortable, and true to how it is advertised. There were no surprises and Marco was very accommodating.
We have spent 2 excellent weeks in the splendid Villa of Marco. The owner was discrete during the stay though flexible should we needed any help or advice. The villa is located 3km from Siena not far from shops and other places of interest. There are a lot of very good restaurants and pizzeria. Located in the middle of the beautiful countryside, there was no noise, the swimming pool was perfect and very clean especially for children, and we appreciated the full equipment in the villa. The SPA with jacuzzi and sauna was very appreciated at the end of the day. All in all, we warmly recommend this property and hope to go back again in the future. Thank you Marco ! Giannina & family

The Debt Dandy visits young guys in Prague who are having money issues and, depending on how much they owe, and how good-looking they are, he will offer them cash in return for some rather unorthodox repayment options - yes, he gets them to suck him off; he gets them to bend over while he fucks their tight little butt holes; and depending on how much money they need, they sometimes get to do other depraved things too.
In this week's episode a really cute young twink opens the door with a rather surprised look on his face - he wasn't expecting a camera to be filming everything! The Debit Dandy cameraman was shown in, and the place was an absolute mess - dirty, smelling of stale cigarettes, stuff everywhere - he almost felt like leaving. But he's a horny guy, and the twink was so cute and innocent looking, he decided to see how much money he needed to get out of his financial woes. They summed up his debts and wow - this guy owed heaps! Naturally this is good news for the Debt Dandy, as he can now get this little hottie to do even more naughty stuff for him! It wasn't long before the kid agreed to show off his cock; then he stripped naked and got down on his knees and rimmed the cameraman's hole, licked his balls and sucked his fat uncut cock; apparently his tongue was amazingly soft and he had great technique - in fact, he sucked almost perfectly, not bad for a straight lad! Soon tho, our cameraman wanted his dick in this cute twink's arse - so he got him on his back, legs tucked up tight against his chest, arsehole gaping open, ready for a bareback penis invasion! The look on the kid's face while being banged is almost priceless (you can watch the video to see what his price really was!) and it all finished with a nice cum facial!

|Johnny Donatello
|Biographical Information
|Stracci family
|Behind the scenes
|Portrayed by
|Ralph Peduto (voice)
- "Okay it's yours - I just hope you know what you're getting into."
- ―Johnny Donatello[src]
Johnny Donatello was a Stracci family racket boss and soldato.
Donatello was also one of Santino Stracci's gold distributors, who managed to secretly take over the ramshackle Italia Warehouse without alerting the rival families. It is largely down to his success that the Stracci gold racket in Little Italy is working effectively.
In 1947, Donatello began to steel himself for the inevitable discovery of his racket, but he was unprepared for the attack from the Corleone family, who raided his warehouse and bought him out. They also made good on their protection, saving him from the wrath of his former caporegime Leon Grossi and his men.
Behind the scenesEdit
He was voiced by Ralph Peduto.

Pacific Symphony to Kick Off SYMPHONY IN THE CITIES Concerts, 7/26
Pack a picnic and gather the family for an evening of free music and outdoor summer fun when Pacific Symphony presents "Symphony in the Cities" (SITC) in Irvine and Mission Viejo. Music Director Carl St. Clair takes the orchestra out of the concert hall and into Orange County cities for the first in a series of community concerts (more to be announced) this 2014-15 season celebrating the maestro's milestone 25th anniversary with the orchestra.
Now a long-standing summer tradition, SITC brings thousands of people together for great music and entertainment in local parks each year. With a potpourri of popular classics, Americana and patriotic tunes, this year's concert includes Bizet's sultry Suite from "Carmen," featuring mezzo-soprano Ola Rafalo, and four talented young violinists from Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings (PSSS) performing Vivaldi's Concerto in B Minor. Classical KUSC's radio host Rich Capparela serves as emcee and also narrates Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" before a final audience sing-along of patriotic favorites.
Starting at 7 p.m., this year's free SITC concerts take place Saturday, July 26, in the Village Green at Mission Viejo's Oso Viejo Community Park and Sunday, July 27, at Irvine's Mike Ward Community Park in Woodbridge. Arrive early to enjoy Mission Viejo's annual "Prelude in the Park," which begins at 4 p.m. and the Symphony's Musical Playground, which begins at 4 p.m. in Mission Viejo and 5:30 p.m. in Irvine. The Musical Playground features many interactive and hands-on activities for children, including instrument making, a drum circle, an instrument petting zoo, and an opportunity to meet the musicians. Pre-concert entertainment by the Helix Collective takes place 5:30-6:30 p.m. (in Irvine only). And in both cities-back by popular demand-kids have the chance to learn how to conduct with Maestro St.Clair and later help lead the orchestra in Sousa's "Hands Across the Sea" during the concert.
SITC is sponsored by FivePoint Communities/Great Park Neighborhoods with support from the cities of Irvine and Mission Viejo and other local sponsors. For more information, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org/SITC.
"One of my greatest passions is sharing my love of music with others, so every summer I am excited to bring Pacific Symphony out into the community, where music can touch the hearts of more people than ever," says Maestro St.Clair. "This year's program has something for everyone. We have familiar classical pieces from Bach, Vivaldi and Dvorák, a little opera from 'Carmen,' and some fantastic American music by two icons: John Williams and Aaron Copland. I am also greatly looking forward to working with the four young musicians from Santiago Strings. They have such great energy, and Symphony in the Cities will be an ideal way to show off their talents."
To begin, St.Clair opens the evening with Dvorák's spirited Slavonic Dance No. 1. Guest vocalist Rafalo, deemed "a mezzo to watch" by The Washington Post, channels the fiery Carmen for four selections from Bizet's famous opera. The gorgeous melodic lines of Bach's "Air" from Suite No. 3 (also known as Air on a G-String) are easily recognized because of its many uses in popular culture. PSSS violinists Danielle Liu, Albert Gang, Luchi Jiang and Sean Chang take the stage to perform the allegro movement from Vivaldi's Concerto in B Minor for Four Violins and Strings No. 10. The notable "Olympic Fanfare" by John Williams transitions the concert from European composers to classic Americana. Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" and his funny children's song, "I Bought Me a Cat" follow, and the evening concludes with a patriotic sing-along.

The Most Exciting Miami Hotel Openings of 2016
Brickell's East Hotel is among a bumper crop of high-end, starchitect-designed hotels hitting the market this year.
Via East Hotels
Hotels, by definition, are for tourists. Yet Miami locals love hotels. We love eating at their restaurants, sneaking into their pools, dancing at their clubs, sometimes waking up in their beds next to Brazilians we met at the clubs — you know how it goes.
There's no short supply of jaw-dropping new hotels in the pipeline either. An estimated 6,000 hotel rooms are either under construction or in the final planning phases in Miami-Dade. Here's a look at some of the most buzzed-about hotels that will debut this year, so you can get a head start on your pool-crashing plans.
East Hotel (Brickell)
Opening in spring
East Hotels come from, well, the East. The Hong Kong-based hotel chain is already popular with Chinese jet-setters and is slated to open its first American location atop the Brickell City Centre project. Featuring 352 rooms, the hotel promises each will have breathtaking views of surrounding Brickell through floor-to-ceiling windows. Local architecture firm Arquitectonica handled the bones of the
The Langford (Downtown)
Opening in March
The Langford will finally open in the historic home of the BeauxArts Miami National Bank this year, and it's embracing its heritage. You won't get any of that clean, minimalist, all-white design with shocking touches of color like so many inns in Miami Beach. The rooms in the Langford recall 1920s Manhattan as much as they do 2016 Miami. That's fitting for a building on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel will also feature two new hospitality concepts from the Pubbelly boys: PB Station and Pawnbroker.
Me by Melia (Downtown)
Opening March 1
via ME Hotels
Apparently, the Maquis condo building in downtown had a hotel in it all along. Who knew? It certainly wasn't a hot spot. Two years ago, the building decided to rebrand and expand the 56-room Casa Moderna into the roughly 125-room Me Miami.

Netanyahu sweeps to Israel election win
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling Likud Party has won a victory in the country's election.
With nearly all the votes counted, Likud appeared to have earned 30 out of parliament's 120 seats and Mr Netanyahu will now have a relatively easy time putting together a coalition government with right-wing and religious allies.
The election was widely seen as a referendum on Mr Netanyahu, who has governed the country for the past six years.
Even before the final results were known, Mr Netanyahu declared victory and pledged to form a new government quickly.
"Against all odds, we achieved a great victory for the Likud," he told supporters at election night headquarters.
"I am proud of the people of Israel, who in the moment of truth knew how to distinguish between what is important and what is peripheral, and to insist on what is important."
Nr Netanyahu focused his campaign on security issues, while his opponents instead pledged to address the country's high cost of living and accused the leader of being out of touch with everyday people.
His return to power for a fourth term probably spells trouble for Middle East peace efforts and could further escalate tensions with the United States.
Mr Netanyahu, who already has a testy relationship with President Barack Obama, took a sharp turn to the right in the final days of the campaign, staking out a series of hardline positions that will put him at odds with the international community.
In a dramatic policy reversal, he said he now opposes the creation of a Palestinian state - a key policy goal of the White House and the international community.
He also promised to expand construction in Jewish areas of east Jerusalem, the section of the city claimed by the Palestinians as their capital.
Mr Netanyahu infuriated the White House early this month when he delivered a speech to the US Congress criticising an emerging nuclear deal with Iran. The speech was arranged with Republican leaders and not co-ordinated with the White House ahead of time.
In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Mr Obama was confident strong US-Israeli ties would endure far beyond the election regardless of the victor.

Titans best Bulldogs: Dickinson Trinity uses a trio of hitters to defeat Bowman County
Dickinson Trinity junior setter Katie Dockter is comfortable putting the ball anywhere on the court.
It's for a good season too.
Trinity used a trio of hitters -- each putting up double-digit kills -- to defeat Bowman County in four sets 25-17, 23-25, 25-16, 25-21 on Thursday at Knights of Columbus Activities Center.
"I know wherever I set the ball they are going to be smart with it," said Dockter, who had 20 assists, seven kills and four digs. "Every time it isn't going to be a kill, but I know wherever I go with the ball it's in good hands."
Rayma Braaten, the Titans' head coach, was pleased with the way the team was able to play throughout the entire match. She said the areas in which her team focused on during practice this week paid off.
"I feel that overall we did OK," Braaten said. "We worked on specific things this week and I feel like we really did those things well. If we just keep targeting two or three things for week then we can perfect them, I'm satisfied."
Trinity sophomore Kennedy Keator, seniors Gretchen Weir and Katelyn Grinsteinner combined for 41 kills. Keator, whose main job last year as a freshman was serving, led the team with 16 kills. Weir followed with 13 and Grinsteinner added 12.
Though many teams haven't seen Keator play as an outside hitter, she garnered many blockers' attention after the first set.
"Kennedy is solid," Braaten said. "She is one of those players which people are going to get to know really fast."
The Titans didn't have any trouble coming away with an opening set win going on an 11-1 run to take a 18-7 lead. The Bulldogs attempted to make a comeback, but Keator ripped back-to-back kills to win the first set.
"We got off to a really start," said Trinity senior Allison Steffan, who had five kills and two blocks. "We just tried to keep our energy up and tried to continue doing the little things right."
Bowman County responded with a second set win. The Bulldogs and Titans were clawing for momentum until a trio of Trinity errors handed the set over to Bowman County.
Trinity came back to win the third and fourth sets and their second Region 7 win of the season. The Titans are currently 5-3 overall and 2-0 in Region 7.
Despite taking a loss, Bowman County's head coach Anne Hanson can see bright potential, but it just hasn't come altogether yet.
The Bulldogs lineup is mostly senior dominated with Morgan Woodley, Macy Smyle, Kaitlyn Dix, Brittany Hansey and Sierra Irons.
"There are flashes of brilliance," Hanson said. "Once they finally accept that confidence that they are good enough -- we took a game off of Trinity tonight and we haven't done that in forever -- we will be able to get bigger wins. Hopefully, we can peak at the right time."
Woodley led the Bulldogs with 10 kills, while Smyle had six and Hansey added four. Woodley also supplied four aces and Irons had three. Smyle racked up 10 blocks and Dix had three. Irons had a team-high 20 digs, while Hansey followed with 18 and Dix with 16.
Trinity continues its season traveling to Glen Ullin-Hebron at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Braaten hopes the win set a good tone for the rest of the week's practice.
"It's good to get the win at home and we can keep going with this good, positive attitude," Braaten said.

Ah, well said. Personally, I'm not too fond of the double standard that males should ignore their problems by not expressing them except through violence. It leads to people not seeking help for mental issues and shit or they try to solve their problems in too violent a manner. And then sometimes a person sees standing up for oneself to be shooting someone else. It's funny because in times past, that was actually acceptable.
That being said I really don't like characters that just do irresponsible things and get away with it and they're supposed to be heroes that solve their problems as such. A good balance is someone like Kenshin who has a firm grasp of reality and what it means to confront problems.
The story is about Shinjiko Robunaga who has been abandoned by her negligent mother that only cares about herself and has plans for humanity. Shinjiko is duped when a disaster hits Tokyo 3, and a charming and experienced captain named Masato Katsuragi abuses his handsome looks to bring the naive Shinjiko in.

japan's views on what is and isn't acceptable for men to do are, if anything, even more screwy than their corresponding views of women, and that's saying something

You should actually do research before you state such things. Shoujo heroines are highly looked up to and idolized in Japan. When they take character popularity polls, the heroine seldom gets any spot BUT #1. If she doesn't get 1, she will easily get in the top three.
How do I know this?
I buy the freaking magazines.

blinded by blood
The best place to find tragic male characters is in, not surprisingly, stories adapted from Greek tragedies, and the original Greek tragedies themselves.
I also find a lot of war stories tend to have tragic male characters, simply due to the fact that most all of the characters in war stories are male. I recently played through L.A. Noire, and the main character, Cole Phelps, is absolutely a tragic male hero played completely straight (it's film noir, though, so that isn't too surprising).
Even then, the differences between tragic male characters and tragic female characters tends to be rather blatant, with female characters' tragedies being used to make them seem more appealing to male viewers, and male characters being portrayed as flawed, human and imperfect.
In terms of anime with tragic male characters, Tomoya definitely qualifies, especially in After Story. I also consider Hei from Darker than Black to be a tragic male character, especially in the interquel OVA and the second season. Huang in his backstory arc during season one is also a good example--but this isn't too surprising, as Darker than Black is a film noir story, and film noir almost always has tragic male leads and supporting characters.
It's possible to be tragic and badass at the same time. It's also possible for female characters to be portrayed as tragic without being sexist, too--it all depends on the writing. Sadly, most of the time the tragic heroine is written poorly with the intent to titillate (invoking the "moe" aspect and feelings of pity, sympathy and protectiveness in the viewers) rather than show a flawed, broken, imperfect person.

The phenomenon of having secondary characters suffer in order to develop the characterization of the protagonist (usually as a means of providing motivation) is familiar to most entertainment media. It does happen more often with female characters in anime, but I think that this is largely an artifact of the kinds of stories told in anime than any other cause.
In Hollywood action films, it's common for an older character's wife (and/or child) die or get captured as a way to provide a narrative and motivation for the protagonist. This can be seen in all sorts of films like Braveheart, Taken, Commando and Gladiator. The male equivalent is the very familiar death of the police officer who's just about to retire. The reason these character events are used so often is because it requires very little time to characterize the victims, but can still evoke a powerful reaction from the audience.
Anime has to take a slightly different tack because the protagonists tend to be unattached teenagers, which makes the viable victims either younger family members, friends or lovers. An interesting trend in anime of the last fifteen years or so is that it's been pretty rare to see female characters die. The reason for this is that they're used as marketing tools for merchandise, and killing them off was thought to discourage potential buyers. The effect then is that male victims will die and female victims will live but suffer for the characterization of the protagonist.

I think views of innocence regarding women (and children, who I think are also relevant to this topic) also contribute to why they're used so often to evoke sympathy. It might be a lesser role than most of what has been mentioned, but in my opinion it's an interesting perspective to think about.

I think there's something that must be said regarding the disproportion of "tragic heroines" and "tragic heroes". If you think so chances are that the majority of the anime you see are focused on female characters.
And when I say "focused" I don't mean main character. There's a lot of main characters often spanning from eroge, that barely exist as placeholders for the readers and therefore have little if no background and are usually uninteresting, in a few words the show is not focused on them.
When you get a show that is focused on letting you know more about certain characters or is focused on them there's usually at least one of them with a tragic past. That's because a tragic past is a very effective way to make a character interesting, in general.
Now when a show isn't focused on characters but on the story and so on, there's a lower chance of seeing something tragic.
So my argument can be summarized with this point:
Show me an anime that is focused on male characters, and I'll show you at least one male character with a tragic past or situation that affects him deeply.
Apart from the already mentioned Guts from Bersersk, I can name quite a lot.
-Both Al and Ed Elric from Full Metal Alchemist are haunted by a tragic event that affects them every single day of their life and the whole adventure is to find a way to make up for it.
-The main story of Cowboy Bebop revolves around the tragic past of Spike Spiegel.
- Vash the Stampede is likewise affected by his tragic past which he reacts with an undying optimism (which somehow makes him even more tragic). The show is really focused at making you feel pity for him, especially when you see his body completely devastated by scars. Reverend wolfwood is also the center of one of the most tragic scenes I've ever seen in an anime.
- Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken, is another good example of tragic character, but generally the whole show is a series of portrayal of manly tragedies. Rei, Raul, Toki, they are all very tragic figures that will make you shed a lot of manly tears.
- Similarly Saint Seiya is filled with "greek tragedies" all revolving around male characters, but on a minor degree since the show is more focused on action.
- Joe Yabuki from Ashita no Joe has become such an icon of tragic death that you'll see he omaged in a hundred of different anime. His whole story is very messed up anyway.
- In Please save my earth there's an entire chapter revolving around Shion's tragic past.
- Likewise in fruit basket there's a huge focus on male characters and their plights but particularly on Kyo Soma.
There's a lot more of course.
The bottom line anyway is that since there is a higher demand for shows that are focused on female characters, it's only natural that you'll see more tragic heroines, especially if you tend to watch that kind of anime. If you are into shoujo... I seriously doubt you think it that way.

I take it we're defining a tragic character as one who suffers rather than using the more classical definition of a great person whose downfall is brought about by a flaw in their character?
As a male anime viewer, I'll admit I'm often more affected by what happens to female characters than male ones. However even with the girls I'm generally not overly sympathetic towards characters whom I consider to be weak, passive, and whiny. I tend to admire female characters who are strong and proactive and respond to adversity by fighting back. When one of those characters finally gets burned out or ends up having a breakdown, I tend to feel sympathetic.

Like synaesthetic has mentioned out above, Greek tragedies involve males much more than females.
I believe that there is a similar amount of tragedy portrayed in both genders, just that they are different.
Female tragedies are often played out emotionally and have several emotional peaks that end with a largest peak. But male tragedies are played out by having the character rise extremely high and then dropped suddenly from the peak in the end.
Female suffering seem to be constant suffering that pulls sympathy from the audience throughout while male tragedy has the audience sympathise only in the end when the character falls from the peak.

It's not just females as tragic, though it's the majority....
As much as I can't stand Evangelion, Shinji has it BAD.
Kirigetsu(sp) from Fate/Zero
Hei from Darker Then Black
Ruoroni Kenshin
All of the male protagionists from Key's shows....except Little Busters because I didn't see that all yet.
The Shisengumi of Hakuoki...
As for why females are the harbingers of tragedy, considering that most of the viewers are males, I guess it all ties back to the MOE thing: Isn't it supposed to mean that the viewers want to protect a character or something like that?

[Plugin: WP Live CSS Editor] CSS Live edit Displays CSS as just 1 line
I have used WP live CSS Editor before and it is on a WP 3.2.1 site and it worked fine
I have just installed it on a second site and whilst it all activates the same it seems that in the edit window the CSS doesnt display properly.
It is showing the CSS in a window that is about 3/4 of a line high and the CSS code scrolls in that 1 line so you can't really read it or edit it.
On the previous site it displays a lot of lines of css and you can scroll down through it and edit the lines you want and it is all perfect.
I have even uninstalled WP from my site removed the DB entry for it and reinstalled everything from scratch but it is still showing the same problem
I have tried it in multiple browsers IE Chrome and firefox on multiple OS Windows 7 and Mac OS but it seems to be doing the same thing in all of them.
If I go to the other site where I used it before it is still working fine.

Yes, I've decided to bring up a positive discussion about this. It might be a bit long - but it's important.
It's been 10 years since JP3 - and there still has yet to be a JP4. I've recently seen the article about the end of the amber trilogy on our fanon site (I believe), and it is a positive statement - yet how, exactly? There will still be getting stuck with the Dinosaurs, running with the rexes and people getting eaten - that's in every film, and there's no Jurassic Park without those effects.
Now, look on Wikipedia (to begin, some information here belongs to Wikipedia). On the Jurassic Park Franchise article, it says this: "In November 2009, Joe Johnston, the director of Jurassic Park III, stated that the fourth film's plot will be different from those of the other three films." It also said this, in the section titled "Future" ...
In June 2002, director Steven Spielberg told Starlog magazine that he planned to produce Jurassic Park IV and that director Joe Johnston, who helmed Jurassic Park III, would direct it. In November 2002, screenwriter William Monahan was hired to write,[30] with the film's release slated for summer 2005.[31] In July 2003, Monahan completed the first draft, with the story no longer set in the jungle.[32] Actor Sam Neill said he was returning as Dr. Alan Grant, with filming expected to begin in 2004 in California and Hawaii.[33] In September 2004, screenwriter John Sayles was re-writing the script, with the film re-slated for a winter 2005 release.[34]
In October 2004, paleontologist Jack Horner said he would return as technical adviser for the fourth film as he had done for previous Jurassic Park films.[35] By April 2005, special effects artist Stan Winston explained that the delay in production was due to repeated revisions of the film's script, none of which satisfied Spielberg. According to Winston, "He felt neither of [the drafts] balanced the science and adventure elements effectively. It's a tough compromise to reach, as too much science will make the movie too talky, but too much adventure will make it seem hollow."[36][37] In March 2007, Laura Dern was asked to return for the new film, which Universal still wanted to release by 2008.[38] Director Joe Johnston was also reported not to be directing the film.[39] Richard Attenborough has been contacted about reprising the role of John Hammond.[40] Jeff Goldblum has expressed some interest in reprising his role for the fourth film.[41]
In December 2008, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy were asked if there was any development on the sequel. Kennedy responded, "No... I don't know. You know, when Michael Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that's it. Maybe that's a sign that we don't mess with it."[42] While Marshall and Kennedy were no longer signed with Universal Pictures in a production capacity, the two will remain involved with the studio and its plans for Jurassic Park IV.[43] In November 2009, Joe Johnston discussed the possibility of Jurassic Park IV, stating that the story for the film is completely different from that of its predecessors and would take the franchise into a whole other trilogy.[44][45]
Jurassic Park III director Joe Johnston revealed in an interview in January 2010 that Jurassic Park IV was set to be the beginning of a second Jurassic Park trilogy.[46] He also added, "Jurassic Park 4 is going to be unlike anything you've seen."[47] Johnston says once he finishes Captain America, he hopefully will develop Jurassic Park IV with Steven Spielberg. Joe Johnston enthusiastically has confirmed the likelihood of the film's production more than once.
The bold statement is very, very good news. Captain America comes out in mid-July, if I'm correct. Once it's released in mid-July (if I'm correct), we'll be getting some more news sometime in August. There might be a speck of life there.
In the "Jurassic Park III" section, in the first paragraph, it mentioned something about the possibility of a killer disease coming to the island and almost wiping out all the dinosaurs. It was originally the plot idea for JP3 - who would've thought of that?
Lastly, head over to the Joe Johnston article on Wikipedia still. Look at the filmography section. Look at the bottom beneath Captain America. Here: I'll show you ...
Jurassic Park IV (2012) (director)
That edit was made on May 9th, 2011 - two weeks ago! I'd suspect that it should've been erased if it weren't true ... but maybe the Wikipedia staff missed it. I don't think so. They, from the looks of it, patrol those pages most of the day. They scan every edit. They do an excellent job - and yet the one that has supposedly been typed a million times? Doesn't this seem strange?
Well, a new trilogy is planned, as of last year, it was confirmed - does that mean a 2nd film trilogy, possibly? Will JP4 be better than the previous films, due to an advancement in CGI technology in your opinion? Do you think that JP4 will make its way out of its egg and into theaters? We'll find out this summer probably! Comments needed below!

- A bursa is a closed sac lined by endothelium and containing synovia.
- Changes were found in the endothelium of the blood vessels, the axis cylinders of nerves, and the muscles.
- The endothelium over these plates often disappears, leaving them exposed to the blood-stream.
- They show great variation in type, partly because of the number of different kinds of endothelium from which they are derived, and partly because the new connective tissue which is formed is liable to undergo transformation into other tissues.
- Thrombosis is more common in veins than in arteries, because slowing of the blood-stream and irritation of the endothelium of the vessel wall are, owing to the conditions of the venous circulation, more readily induced in veins.

On Sunday night in Vancouver, this happened:
The scorer: Camilo Sanvezzo, the Whitecaps' 25-year-old striker from Brazil. The stupendous strike capped a dizzying stretch of three goals in 2 minutes 22 seconds and left Vancouver and Portland level at 2-2. Camilo (he goes by one name) also scored his club's first goal. He is tied for second on the MLS scoring charts with 18, one behind Montreal's Marco Di Vaio with three weeks left in the regular season. Before joining the Whitecaps in 2011, Camilo played in Brazil, Malta and South Korea, of all places. He has five multi-goal matches this year.

text: The impact was underscored by new statistics released Thursday showing unemployment reached a stunning 26.8 percent in October.The Statistical Authority said the unemployment rate increased from 26.2 percent in September 2012 and 19.7 percent of October 2011. Young Greeks are the worst affected, with 56.6 percent of those aged between 15 and 24 out of work. Also Thursday, Socialist lawmaker Christos Aidonis quit the coalition government and declared himself an independent, protesting at the lack of action taken to investigate people on a list of Greeks with Swiss banks accounts for potential tax fraud. His move reduces the number of lawmakers backing the government in the 300-member parliament to 163. It also means that continued support from all three parties in the coalition â¿¿ ND, Socialist PASOK and Democratic Left â¿¿ is now required to keep the government afloat. Former Socialist Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou is facing a parliamentary investigation into his handling of the list of 2,000 Greeks who held accounts at HSBC bank in Switzerland until 2007. The list was drawn from data on 24,000 customers reportedly stolen from the bank. Prosecutors said the names of three of Papaconstantinou's relatives had been illegally removed from the list of Greek account holders.

It appears the Denver Broncos All-Pro corner Champ Bailey will finally return to the field this week versus the Jacksonville Jaguars and like he shown throughout his illustrious career, his timing couldn't be better.
Champ has always prided himself on being in perfect shape. But even for him, getting into game shape is something that can only be done by playing. But instead of stepping into a tough situation after five weeks of standing on the sidelines, the matchup this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars and former first-round pick Justin Blackmon allows Champ to somewhat ease his way back onto the field and back into game shape.
While Blackmon has elite physical abilities, he is still learning the nuances of the NFL and has underachieving quarterbacks throwing him the ball. Blackmon's athleticism will allow Champ to thoroughly test the strength of his injured ankle, but he will not be placed him under extreme pressure with Chad Henne under center and likely a sizable Broncos' lead. This is a perfect situation for Champ as his matchup in Week 7 is one of the toughest in the league and he must be physically ready.
Reggie Wayne and the Indianapolis Colts have proved that their playoff appearance last year was no fluke, and the veteran receiver continues to evade father time. With 13 years of NFL experience, Wayne has almost as much experience as Bailey, and like the All-Pro corner, he still possesses tremendous speed and strength – not to mention a rock-solid pair of hands and a legitimate NFL quarterback. Especially while playing indoors on turf, Champ will have to be on top of his game to contain the six-time pro bowl wide receiver.
The Broncos' defense becomes immeasurably better with Champ on the field. Not only does he have the ability to take away the opposing teams top receiver, but he also helps in run support and allows the team to more aggressively blitz. However, he has to be healthy in order to be effective and his injury is one what can easily be re-aggravated. The Broncos must be careful not to overly use him while he is still recovering.

The director Sean Mathias was born in Wales. His production of Uncle Vanya at the National was nominated for five Olivier Awards. His latest production, Marlene - A Tribute to Dietrich, starring Sian Phillips, will be touring in the early part of 1997. He now travels extensively and has no permanent base
Sian Phillips: My first meeting with Sean was in the early 1980s in Joe Allen, when he and my friend Jill Bennett came running into the restaurant like two things out of a Noel Coward play. They stopped at my table to have a quick chat; I remember thinking that Sean looked just like Augustus John's picture of Dylan Thomas, the one where Dylan looks like a fallen angel. I was having a spectacularly dim time in my life and I felt a bit jealous because they looked so incredibly glamorous.
Sean denies this meeting ever took place, but it did. We do agree that we met properly at a party held by Joan Washington and Richard E Grant. I happened to have been reading Sean's novel Manhattan Mourning the previous day and I was so surprised to see him. Sean recalls that I was looking unhappy, which was quite true.
We didn't become close until about 1992 when Sean suggested we meet for dinner so that we could discuss the possibility of working together on a production of Ibsen's Ghosts. I was on my way to meet him, and I'd stopped outside a little undertaker near the restaurant to look at a view of old London on display in the window. I was completely engrossed in this map, and Sean came up and startled me; he claims I didn't know who he was, where I was going or who I was meeting.
Since Ghosts, we've worked together on various projects. Sometimes we do have horrific rows, and he can upset me quite a lot, but unless he's being totally unreasonable - which he sometimes can be - I find his outbursts make me laugh more than anything. One day at the National, I thought I was just asking him questions about the production, but he obviously thought I was being incredibly tiresome. He put his head in his hands and said, "Oh God, am I going to have to put up with this all my life?" Everyone froze, but I just laughed so much that I had to leave the room. I was still laughing when I went to bed that night.
Friendship never gets in the way of professionalism; it never upsets me if he says, "That performance was absolutely ghastly," for instance, but he does have the ability to get to me in a way that very few people can. But those occasions are very rare. On the whole we have a very simple and cheerful relationship.
Sean has a very innovative, fluid and rather organic way of working which has changed my own approach to acting completely. Having been a child actress I picked up an awful lot of baggage along the way, but since meeting Sean I have lost interest in those trappings. I'm much more flexible and relaxed. I no longer fuss about things like "Can I be seen if I stand here? Am I lit properly? Can I be heard?" My priorities have changed and I find acting more enjoyable as a result.
I don't form friendships quickly and I tend automatically to think that people are going to let me down. I remember misjudging Sean very badly quite early on in our friendship. We had arranged that he would pick me up at my flat and we'd go on to see a play in East London. Somehow I'd assumed that Sean would have forgotten, so I took the tube. Later he passed me in the street near to the theatre, and he shouted from the car, "Do you honestly think I would have forgotten to pick you up?" I realised that I had made a terrible mistake. I'd underestimated him and I felt quite ashamed.
One thing we both suffer from is that people are intimidated by us. Because we put up a fairly convincing front, they think that this exterior image is the real person. It bores me to death when everyone assumes that I am somehow immune to being vulnerable, that I'm very cool and totally in control, because underneath I'm not like that at all. Being around Sean is very relaxing because he has never had that perception of me; he sussed me straight away.
Sean Mathias: It's sweet that Sian remembers that meeting with Jill Bennett, because Jill was incredibly symbolic in my life and her spirit hovers over me and in some odd sort of way hovers over the relationship Sian and I have engendered. But I have no recollection of this meeting in Joe Allen. I remember our first meeting as being at Joan Washington and Richard E Grant's party. Sian came up to me and said, "I'm so glad to meet you because I've just read your book." Sian was already a legend to me, because, of course, I am Welsh too. Meeting her was like meeting Marlene Dietrich.
My first impression at the party was quite deep. She was sitting on the sofa by herself, she left by herself and she seemed to leave before the party got going. I was rather impressed with her independence and I felt a little bit sorry for her, too. She looked rather unhappy.
I came across her again in Monmouth Street when she was absorbed in the map in the undertaker's window. I said hello and she looked at me rather vaguely and I thought, "God, she's on heroin or valium or something." Jill Bennett was known for popping a pill or two, and I thought, "Sean, you've done it again, you're about to get another leading lady who's more fond of the pills than anything else." Then we decided to go for dinner together, and I drank an inordinate amount and Sian didn't touch a drop.
Yet she was every bit as merry as me, and I thought, "There you are, she is on drugs." I didn't know then that she won't even touch an aspirin.
We have known each other well since 1992, which isn't that long, but it has been an intense period and our lives have very much been on connecting paths ever since. Work and friendship are closely bonded; it's hard to divorce the two. In this business you never really close the door on work.
There are times when I like to go into hiding and Sian is one of the few people I always keep in touch with. If something went wrong for Sian I'd like to feel she could turn to me, and I feel that I can go to her. Ghosts, which was our first joint project, was very symbolic in our friendship. The mother and son at the centre of the play are not lovers but there is an erotic quality to their relationship, and I suppose that theme has over-spilled into the relationship between Sian and me.
It would be too simplistic to say that we are like mother and son, though; a rapport between two people is more complicated than a straightforward categorisation into gender and status. We're both Welsh, but I don't think that's why we have a rapport; being Welsh is just a characteristic of my nature, like my being gay. We're very close; we've been through times of great sadness and we've shared grief over friends who have died, but we have never delved into anything murky in our respective personal relationships. All of our fights have been professional - we haven't ever had a ghastly private moment.
I do push buttons in Sian and she pushes them in me; I feel free to say things to her that I wouldn't dare say to Judi Dench. We're opposites in some ways - Sian is logical, but I am abstract. Sian can be very obstinate if she doesn't understand something, which is why I sometimes hang my head in my hands.
Sian is nothing like her external image and we have that in common. People think I am a butterfly and I'm not at all. I am very loyal to the people I love. The idea that I wouldn't have bothered to go and pick up Sian that time is abhorrent to me. I hate letting people down. I'm not off- hand about the people I love. I hate being let down, and it's something I wouldn't do to anyone else. !Reuse content

A large-scale environmental chamber was developed to study soil water evaporation mechanisms. A large soil specimen (300 mm high, 800 mm wide, and 1000 mm long) was used, allowing sensors to be installed with minimal effect on the soil's hydraulic properties. Sensors for measuring soil suction, temperature, and volumetric water content were either buried inside the soil specimen or installed on the chamber's wall at various locations. Other sensors for monitoring air temperature, relative humidity, air flow rate, and soil surface temperature were installed at different locations above the soil surface. Various atmospheric conditions were controlled by an air supply system, and a steady water table at the bottom of the soil was set through a big water tank. Fontainebleau sand was studied, and it was compacted in the chamber in layers. After saturation, an 11.5-day evaporation test was performed. The results obtained are presented in terms of evolutions of suction, volumetric water content, air relative humidity, and soil/air temperature. The data on air relative humidity and air temperature were used further for determining the actual evaporation rate; the data on soil volumetric water content and soil suction were used for determining the soil water retention curve. The quality of the results obtained speaks to the performance of the environmental chamber developed. In addition, these results can be further analyzed for theoretical and numerical developments involving soil water evaporation.

Hi all,
I have a Windows 7 x64 host running a Windows 7 x64 guest on Virtualbox 4.1.6 and I just can't seem to get Aero to work at all even after installing the Direct 3D drivers included with the guest additions.
When I right click on computer and try to do a system rating performance test, it immediately crashes and gives me an error saying "Windows Assessment Tool has stopped working and could not be completed."
I'm using a Lenovo W520 with an Nvidia Optimus graphics Card (Nvidia Quadro 2000M and Intel HD Graphics) and I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed from Lenovo (275.93).
5 Replies
Dec 5, 2011 at 10:13 UTC
I have the same problem. I haven't had time to check into it, but it also isn't necessary for me to use Aero on that machine anyway. However, for troubleshooting purposes... my setup is very similar:
- Win 7 x64 host
- Win 7 x86 guest (I think it's x86 - haven't been on that one in a while)
- Intel integrated HD graphics
- Exact same symptoms
Anyone else have this problem...or a solution?
Dec 5, 2011 at 4:26 UTC
I'm not sure about VirtualBox, but I believe VMware Workstation requires VMware Tools to be installed as a System Tray program in the guest VM for Aero to work. Possibly VirtualBox has a download similar to that.
Dec 6, 2011 at 9:46 UTC
Yes VirtualBox has something similar called Guest Additions, which I have already installed. That's where the Direct 3D drivers are located as well, however it doesn't work.
Dec 6, 2011 at 9:54 UTC
When I went to install the Guest Additions (again, to update / verify), I did get a message that Direct 3D could not be installed since my machine was not in Safe Mode. I haven't yet had time to reboot into safe mode to try again.
When you installed the guest additions, was your VM in safe mode?
Dec 6, 2011 at 10:35 UTC
No my VM was not in safe mode. I believe VM's had to be in safe mode to install the drivers in the older editions of Virtualbox, they have updated that in their latest revisions so that you don't require safe mode to install the Direct 3D drivers anymore.
Instead I got a prompt stating that the Direct 3D drivers are experimental and if I wanted to install the basic Direct 3D drivers instead. I had said no to that.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

NEW HAVEN – The global economy could be in the early stages of another crisis. Once again, the US Federal Reserve is in the eye of the storm.
As the Fed attempts to exit from so-called quantitative easing (QE) – its unprecedented policy of massive purchases of long-term assets – many high-flying emerging economies suddenly find themselves in a vise. Currency and stock markets in India and Indonesia are plunging, with collateral damage evident in Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey.
The Fed insists that it is blameless – the same absurd position that it took in the aftermath of the Great Crisis of 2008-2009, when it maintained that its excessive monetary accommodation had nothing to do with the property and credit bubbles that nearly pushed the world into the abyss. It remains steeped in denial: Were it not for the interest-rate suppression that QE has imposed on developed countries since 2009, the search for yield would not have flooded emerging economies with short-term "hot" money.
As in the mid-2000's, there is plenty of blame to go around this time as well. The Fed is hardly alone in embracing unconventional monetary easing. Moreover, the aforementioned developing economies all have one thing in common: large current-account deficits.
