Mr Holmes: Film Review
Cast: Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Milo Parker,
Director: Bill Condon
As the argument rages over copyright infringement between the studios and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate, it's down to Sir Ian McKellen and a prosthetic nose to carry off this tale based on A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin.
Playing an aged and retired Holmes in 1947, the great detective is now living out his twilight years in a Sussex village, under the house leadership of Mrs Munro (Linney). Dividing his time between keeping bees and little else, Holmes finds his failing memory jolted by Munro's son, Roger to try and solve one last unsolved case that's haunted him for 50 years.
The case is that of a beautiful woman....and only fragments of it remain as Holmes juggles the memories of that, a trip abroad to secure a plant for his illness and the impending visit from the Grim Reaper.
A fascinating character study of a man so reliant on his wits and his powers (Holmes is urged several times to 'Do the thing' by one youngster where he demonstrates his powers of deduction) now facing ruin thanks to the ravages of time and the onset of dementia.
McKellen pulls off Holmes (and being in his 90s) with considerable aplomb, mixing humanity, frailty and frustration in equal measure; he's perfect as the aged great detective, playing it heartbreakingly as the end nears and slightly more agile in 2 flashbacks set after the marriage of Watson (who curiously only appears in blurred shadow and is frequently referred to as having heavily fictionalised Holmes' escapades).
But nipping back and forth in time is also the film's weaker point as it juggles three narratives, all feeling like they need fleshing out with some more dramatic worth as the tapestry is drawn. Though, it has to be argued, I would happily indulge myself in watching McKellen do a series of Holmes in his elder years.
Linney is underused as the housekeeper and there's a feeling she could have played more than a cuckold, as she faces the dilemma of what to do next. McKellen gels well with Parker, the youngster Roger who is in awe of Holmes and his reputation with a bond that feels natural and relateable, as well as serving the inquisitive assistant nobly. (Fans of Sherlock Holmes' various incarnations will be delighted to see the Young Sherlock putting an appearance in)
But it is without a doubt, McKellen's film and he delivers definitively on the mystery within a mystery premise that's been set up. Riffing on the legend of Holmes with deer stalkers and the dashing wit, Mr Holmes remains an enigmatic film, a vessel that feels like it's lacking in some parts - but thanks to the central performance, it presents a tantalising glimpse for a direction that the detective could go once everyone tires of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes.

The 'TCP/IP Package for TSX-Plus' provides TCP/IP networking services for multiple users with TSX-Plus. The package is an assemblage of server and client programs designed to provide Telnet, FTP, Mail, POP3, LPD, and HTTP services for local and remote users of TSX-PLUS systems. The programs are written in C and RT-11 macro. A security system allows usernames/passwords and authorizations for each client/server component to be speci- fied for each user. The sources for the 'TCP/IP Package for TSX-Plus' include header, command, C language, and macro files. The DECUS C com- piler (with some bug fixes) and AS assembler are included with the software distribution to allow the package to be recompiled from the supplied sources. The current implementation uses upto 16 global regions to support multiple client/server programs simultaneously. Each cleint service uses 1 region except for the FTP variants (FTP, FTPL, and RFTP) which use 1 additional region during data transfers. The network control program TCPIP uses one addi- tional region for fragmented packet reconstruction. The hardware requirements are a TSX-PLUS system having a minimum of 512k bytes of memory, a DEQNA/DELQA (Q-Bus) or DEUNA/DELUA (Unibus) ethernet card with associated transceiver (thick, thin, or CAT-5) and optionally a pair of dedicated serial lines for each simultaneously active remote Telnet ses- sion.

Proprietary testing won't convince public of nanotechnology's safety
|(Nanowerk News) The rapid commercialization of nanotechnology means the industry needs to be proactive with regard to toxicity, environmental, and health issues, according to the head of a state group that promotes the industry.
|Kelly Kordzik, president of Texas Nanotechnology Initiative sees the EPA ruling on handling nanosilver waste as "a sign that the federal government is willing to step in," if the industry doesn't provide assurances that it's enforcing safeguards on its own.
|"Companies can't wait for the federal government to address these issues," said Kordzik, "we must look at these issues very seriously."
|The nanotechnology industry in the United States faces stiff competition from Europe, Japan and China in fashioning new uses for the tiny particles, which are only several billionths of a meter in size.
|Kordzik said the nanotechnology industry in Texas and the United States needs to work together to keep up with overseas developers.
|"Companies and universities are doing significant research and collaborations in Texas," said Kordzik. "And, we're now seeing the state of Texas, its universities, and the private sector beginning to work as a team."
|Kordzik was optimistic that the time is right for venture capitalists and large companies to make significant investments that will lead to what he called "clustering."
|But, Kordzik expressed concern that the industry needs to make sure that adequate safeguards are in place.
|"The industry needs to take a proactive role," said Kordzik.
|"Proprietary testing by the manufacturers is not going to convince the public or the environmentalists that companies are being as responsible as they need to be," he said.

The Stellarcadia
Condensation escaped in puffs as Caramel stared at the enormous spaceship, her mouth wide open.
'Careful.' Jorde nudged her. 'Your jaw will freeze if you gawk at the ship too long.'
Caramel glared at him but continued to gawk. A bit of drool slid from the corner of her mouth and she shut it quickly, hoping he hadn't noticed. Jemm did, however, bursting into a giggle. Caramel wiped it away with the back of her hand, stifling a grin.
'How awesome is it?' Micah shook his head. 'The biggest Caramel Cardamom Crystal powered ship in the galaxy and we get to go on it.'
'It's pretty awesome.' Sass nodded. 'But you think a gazillion dollar ship would be painted something other than gun metal grey? At least my spacesuit design has a bit of zazzle in it.'
Caramel chuckled, glancing down at her shimmering silver attire.
'Hard to believe it's the only reason Sass agreed to come,' Micah whispered. 'For months it was all, "who would want to go on a huge space monstrosity?" Blah blah blah, but once the Chairman offered her the chance to design that suit, she was all Stellarcadia this, Stellarcadia that.' He rolled his eyes.
Sass screwed her nose up at her twin. 'Wait till you see my presentation, Caramel. It's gonna blow your high top boots right off.'
Caramel tried to smile, but all she could manage was a grimace.
'Oh, don't be like that,' Sass scolded. 'You know it's a top secret collaboration and I can't tell you about it.'
'I know, I know.' Caramel held up her hands in surrender. 'My mum forbade me to read anyone's thoughts about it, so don't worry. Your super-secret-space-suit design is still safe.'
'At least you didn't have to practically beg your parents to let you go to the youth summit.' Kirra put her hands on her hips. 'Mine think this is all some kind of conspiracy. But I don't get it.' She frowned. 'Where's the Caramel Cardamom Crystal? It looks like a giant bug to me.'
Jorde coughed, masking a chuckle. 'It's in the core of the ship, Kirra. The Caramel Cardamom Crystal could hardly be on the outside. It would melt away and lose its power the moment it burst through Ishqwartz orbit.'
'Oh! There's the Chairman of the Intergalactic Council,' Jemm squealed.
A tall man with pale green skin, short cropped red hair with silver streaks, paced across the icy loading bay. Ziggy, his personal Elvin guard followed, stopping directly behind him as the Chairman approached the podium.
The cadets stood to attention and Caramel spied her parents across the gathering crowd. Carob shot his daughter a wink. Caramel tried to contain her reaction, but her shoulders bobbed up and down in nervous giggles.
Jemm offered her a hand in support and Caramel accepted it gladly. The Chairman held up a small black crystal box in his webbed hand. He placed it onto the icy ground, and a giant holographic mirror image of himself lit the sky above. Caramel couldn't help but gawk again.
'Ambassadors of the Intergalactic Council, parents, and friends.' The Chairman's voice echoed across the frosty arena. 'Thank you for joining me on Ishqwartz today, and for accepting my invitation to the very first flight of our newest passenger vessel. It is equipped to transport over one thousand personnel with full battle capabilities!' He raised his arms in a V shape and the holographic lens zoomed in on his face. His pale green skin shimmered and his vivid blue eyes lit up. 'May I present to you... the Stellarcadia!'
The crowd cheered and Caramel and her friends hollered and clapped until the Chairman extended his hand to full webbed capacity. He turned to Caramel and the forty-nine other children lined up in front of the great vessel.
'Congratulations cadets. Each of you has been selected to attend our very first Intergalactic Youth Summit. It is an historic moment, younglings, and I look forward to each and every one of your innovative presentations aboard this truly spectacular ship.' He bowed towards the enormous oversized bug, as Kirra put it.
Caramel nibbled on her fingernails at the mere mention of the presentations.
'Cadets, please wave your family and friends goodbye, and stand by for Inertial Energy Matter Transport. On my mark, Ziggy.' The Chairman fiddled with an earpiece, shaking his head a couple of times. Caramel blew her family an air kiss and the Chairman closed his hand swiftly.
Within an instant, her body seemed as though it were being pulled in a hundred different directions. A heartbeat later, she toppled onto the floor near two silver space boots.
'Totally Elvo. It's even bigger than it appears on the outside.' Caramel scrambled to her knees.
Jorde, the owner of the boots, shuffled over to help her, but Micah rushed past, taking Caramel's hand. 'Did you hurt your leg? I know a great healer if you need one.' He winked. Carmel huffed while he helped her up. She rubbed her leg, still feeling a bit giddy, unsure if it was the transport or the excitement. The room was alive with chatter, and a moment later the Chairman entered in a beam of light, and paced across the stage to the podium.
'Take your seats, younglings. We have a few housekeeping details to address.'
The cadets bustled up the stairs, taking their seats in the bleachers. Caramel and Jemm huddled together and Jorde plopped down beside them, while Micah, Sass, and Kirra, filed in along the row taking seats in succession. Jorde was frowning, and Caramel shot him a questioning look, but he shook his head as the Chairman held up his hand again.
'Younglings, I don't think I need to remind you of what a privilege it is to be here. I expect you to be on your best behaviour as we journey together over the next three days.'
Many of the cadet's heads bobbed up and down in agreement, while Caramel wrung her hands, lunging forward in her seat.
'Our itinerary will proceed as follows: In a moment, a member of the Stella crew will usher you to your slumber-cube, where your belongings have already been stowed. This afternoon we begin our first ten presentations. Please check the memo to ensure that you provide your data to the technical crew before the deadline.'
Caramel gripped her seat. She wasn't in the first ten, but that didn't give her any consolation. Her fingernails had already taken a beating in the few brief moments on board the ship.
'I am looking forward to hearing the incredible innovations, from each of your home planets over the next three days. Meanwhile, this wonderful ship will be spiriting us towards Amzalu.' The Chairman chuckled. 'I am sure you are all aware of the fabulous amusement facilities that will be ours exclusively for the night.'
'Oh yeah, baby,' Micah bellowed and the cadets erupted with cheers. Caramel grinned from pointy elvin ear to ear, and the Chairman smiled brightly. A cascade of shooshes echoed throughout the arena as the cadets eventually settled into silence.
'We have factored in lots of social time.' The Chairman paused. 'This will give you, our most advanced young minds, an ample chance to mingle before our momentous "hyperspace jump" home to Ishqwartz.'
Caramel inhaled. The thought of a hyperspace jump chilled her to the bone. Jemm knew how Caramel felt about going "hyper". She squeezed her hand and shot her a wink.
'A few rules whilst on board. Firstly... no one, and I mean no one, is allowed to enter the Caramel Cardamom Crystal Core room. It is important that the frigid temperature be maintained, to ensure the crystal stays in its solid form whilst powering the ship.' The Chairman's gaze burned down at Caramel.
The Chairman glared at her a few more seconds, then glanced up over the crowd. Caramel's heart sank. She was dying to see the Caramel Cardamom Crystal Core.
'Secondly, as I mentioned, I encourage you to explore the ship, however...' Caramel shifted uneasily in her seat feeling the Chairman's gaze upon her again. 'There are several designated areas restricted to the Stella crew only.' He pointed to the blue bracelet encompassing his wrist. 'Your translator bracelets will allow you everywhere, except those areas. Please wear them at all times.'
Caramel repositioned the bracelet on her wrist.
'Now, younglings...' The Chairman's voice sounded a bit drab. Caramel shook her translator, wondering if it was malfunctioning. 'The Stella crew will show you to your quarters and we will reconvene in two hours.' The pace of his words had slowed dramatically, and Caramel glanced around to see if anyone else noticed. He stalked out of the room as the Stella crew, dressed in black spacesuits, streamed into the arena. Caramel and Jemm were met by a young girl about their age, with long silky dark hair and eyes the colour of coal.
'I am Ariel.' The girl smiled, ushering them out of the arena. I am your assigned Stella crew member.'
'How totally elvo is this?' said Jemm in mind speak. Caramel nodded, following along eagerly, but her leg started to twinge.
Not now. She rubbed her leg, attempting to shake off the sensation. I am not gonna miss a moment on this ship.

Stretch marks still baffle many people. What causes stretch marks? Most commonly stretch marks are seen on the stomach, breasts, hips, thighs underarms and upper arms, back and the buttocks. Although stretch marks do not have any serious health risk, not many of us are willing to wear them on our skin.
Causes of Stretch Marks
- Weight Loss and Weight Gain – Losing or gaining weight too quickly can make these unwanted lines we call as stretch marks to come up. A person with their middle layer of the skin being healthy may not run into stretch marks issue. The dermis has elastic quality and is responsible for retaining the shape and tautness of the skin. One should note that the stretching alone of the skin may not be responsible for stretch marks however this can dictate where on the body these stretch marks will come up. It is also important to not note that stretch marks can also be caused by slow weight gain or loss.
- Hormones – Studies have shown that hormones play a role in the development of stretch marks. Having an increase in the levels of steroid hormones will have an effect on the dermis making it lose some of its supportive material therefore when the skin stretches there is epidermal tearing. Steroid hormones usually go up during pregnancy or in teens when experiencing rapid growth spurts.
- Genes – Genetics is also a key player in the development of stretch marks. Some people are more prone to getting stretch marks on their skin while some are not so much.
Treating Stretch Marks
There are various ways on how these unwanted stretch marks can be removed or be made less noticeable. Some resort to dermabrasiion, laser treatments and even surgical procedures to get rid of stretch marks while some resort to creams and lotions against stretch marks and topical ointments.
Argan Oil and Stretch Marks
One effective treatment for stretch marks is Argan oil. Often referred to as the liquid gold of Morocco and Moroccan miracle oil, it is known to give the skin numerous benefits. Its high content of unsaturated essential fatty acids, Vitamin E, Ferulic acid, Polyphenols, Prostaglandins, Sterols, Carotenoids and numerous antioxidants do wonders to the skin. Since the oil is also packed with protein, it helps restore the skin's elasticity. It makes the protein bonding structures of the skin stronger therefore tightening the skin and preventing the development of stretch marks. Stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles are minimised and prevented with regular application of the oil.
Many women develop stretch marks. Most would have them during pregnancy. Although Argan oil is an organic product with no adverse effects on the skin, if you are pregnant, it is ideal that you ask your doctor before applying the oil to your skin. Once you have the go signal from your doctor on the use of this oil, apply the oil to your skin regularly to avoid developing stretch marks.

Ever since opening Mozaic a few years ago, Chef Dylan Elhajoui has earned rave reviews from foodies and celebrities alike, including Maria Sharapova who calls his couscous, 'the best'. While Moroccan born Elhajoui started his career in engineering, the culinary arts were always his passion. Growing up in Fes, Elhajoui was always surrounded with bustling markets brimming with fresh produce, abundant spices, organic meats, fresh fish, and a multitude of people who knew how to prepare them. His mother and father were both great cooks, and his grandfathers were chefs and restaurant owners, so he's literally been immersed in the culinary arts since birth.
Chef Dylan Elhajoui
In a country where so many cultures have left their marks — Carthaginians, Romans, Phoenicians, Byzantines, Moors, Spaniards, Jews, French and Berbers — Morocco is a true mosaic of cultures. Dylan's cuisine reflects these influences from the western coast of Italy to the Rock of Gibraltar in southern Spain. The flavours include olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, lemons, eggplants, honey, fennel, aromatics, and much more. Elhajoui calls his culinary style 'Cuisine du Midi' — a little bit Provencal, with influences from Spain, Italy and North Africa, which boils down to an abundance of vegetables, fruits, meats and fish, all tantalizingly prepared with fresh herbs and spices, and wholly intoxicating.
Mozaic's bartender David
We started our evening at Mozaic with a glass of sparkling California wine, at the restaurant's cosy main floor bar, as waited for the rest of our party to arrive for dinner. Our first introduction to Mozaic was David, our charming and gregarious bartender who uncorked a bottle of delicious Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine and poured us all a generous glass to christen the evening.
A glass of California bubbly
Just as we were finishing our aperitif, my parents, Aunt and cousin arrived, and we were escorted to the upstairs dining area with a large table set up for our gathering of eight, and overlooking the main floor dining room. As we looked over the menu, bowls of olive oil and balsamic vinegar arrived with fresh warm bread just out of the oven, followed by an amuse-bouce of Apricot Soup with a hint of cilantro and mint.

Recipe courtesy of Dylan Elhajoui
Herb Tagliatelle Pasta
Serves up to 30 — save extra for future
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cup finely ground semolina
1 tsp salt
1 egg
7 egg yolks
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup mixed fresh tender herbs roughly chopped: parsley, chives, chervil and lemon balm
Sift the flour, semolina, and salt together onto a work surface into a mound and make a hollow in the middle. In a bowl, mix the eggs, oil and herbs lightly just to break the yolks. Pour the liquid into the hollow. With a fork, mix the flour into the egg mixture gradually from the center towards the edge until thick pasta begins to form.
Using both hands, heap the remaining flour into the paste. If the paste doesn't absorb all the flour and if it is hard to work the ingredients, add a little cold water. Work the dough with both thumbs and press it into a ball and work in the rest of the flour. Begin kneading by pushing the dough with the heels of your hands and form into a ball again. Repeat this kneading process until the dough has a firm but elastic consistency and no longer changes shape when you remove your hands. Wrap the dough in a layer of plastic wrap and let rest for at least 45 minutes.
Cut the dough into about 2-ounce pieces and cover with a towel to prevent drying. Working with one piece at a time and flatten the dough to fit between the rollers of a pasta machine set at the widest setting. Roll the strips of dough through the rollers of the machine several times, narrowing the setting each time until a thickness of about 1/16 inch is achieved. Trim the pasta strips if desired into 3-inch-by-6-inch ribbons. Lay the strips on a floured surface or hang on a rack to dry for about 1 hour. Dry longer if not used the same day. Just before serving, put the pasta sheets into lightly salted boiling water and cook for a few minutes just until the dough is tender to the bite. Drain and roll into some of the beurre blanc.
Anchoyade Beurre Blanc Sauce
Serves up to 6
4 shallots, thinly sliced
3 anchovy fillets smashed into paste
2 ripe tomatoes roasted in a 275°F oven until very soft, about 45 minutes
10 parsley stems
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups dry white wine
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
8 peppercorns
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound butter cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
Put all ingredients, except the cream, butter, salt and pepper, into a medium saucepan and cook on medium heat until almost dry. Strain into another saucepan, pushing the ingredients with a ladle through the strainer/sieve to extract the tomato and anchovy paste. Add the heavy cream. Bring to boil. Using a whisk, add butter a couple pieces at a time while whisking continually until all the butter has been blended. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Keep in a warm place until serving.
If the sauce seems too acidic, whisk in more butter. If not acidic enough, add more lemon juice. Also, if held for a long period of time, the beurre blanc will thicken. If this happens, just add about 1 tablespoon of warm water and whisk.
Chilean Sea Bass
Serves 4
1 tbsp clarified butter
4 thick pieces of Chilean sea bass, about 9 ounces each
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat the clarified butter over high heat in a sauté pan large enough to hold all of the bass. Season the sea bass with salt then sear in the clarified butter until very nicely golden brown on one side, about three to five minutes. Turn the filets over and place the pan into the oven on a lower rack, and roast until fish is done, about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. MoZaic serves this dish with asparagus, braised fennel and roasted tomatoes.

Compass Card
"Three principal parts, the card, the needle on its lower suface, and the case. The whole is enclosed in the compass-box, or binnacle. the term compass is said to have been applied to the instrument because the card involves or compasses the whole plane of the horizon, or because the needle indicates the whole circle of possible variations of direction. The surface of the card is divided by radiating lines into 32 parts, each containing 11 degrees." — Encyclopedia Britannica, 1893

Autism is a developmental disorder which starts in children below three years of age. Usually these children have deficit in three major areas - communication, social relationship and some may have a disability with their intelligence.
Causes for autism are not known. It may be that certain nerves in the brain that are related to communication and language do not develop properly leading to autism. It is sometimes considered to be hereditary. Abnormalities of the brain due to injury, lack of oxygen or some other factors during birth can also be possible reasons for autism. Viral infections like maternal rubella or tuberous sclerosis could also be causes for autism.
These children have a list of behavioral symptoms such as:
Medication is used to cure behavioral problems but not autism itself. Children who are very aggressive and have some behavioral disorder like head banging, spitting, biting and hitting or children having hyperactivity or ADHD autism may be treated with medication.
But autism as such cannot be treated with medication if there is no behavioral problem; the only thing that remains is training to learn adaptive behavior. Either these children are sent to a center where trained people to handle autistic children are present, or parents themselves are trained to handle them. Occupation therapy works and autistic children do get better with age.
As causes of autism are not yet established, there is no way to prevent it..

The Difference Among Advertising and marketing And Branding
Final week I did one thing unusual. For the very first time in my recollection, I posted on this site on a Saturday morning.
These buyers have gone out their way to write about you, to tell their friends about you, and to act as your brand ambassadors. Cultivating loyalty from these individuals early on will yield more returning buyers – and far more profit for your business.
I have my own extremely expansive definition of marketing: consumer understanding applied. This fits well, I believe, with your definition as I read it. The place exactly where we differ is on the definition of branding, since branding extends inward and impacts and encompasses an organization's internal workings and behavior in ways that advertising and marketing does not. Marketing can not and ought to not dictate or adjudicate operational behavior inside an organization. It ought to influence item improvement, but it does not address the vital truth of a business (despite what some marketing departments may well hope). Branding, if it is to be much more than just an espousal, must go inward as deeply as it goes outward. We are not discussing visual branding , but branding that includes culture as I think it need to.
What happened? The situation is, social media has transformed how culture operates, in a way that weakens specific branding techniques. It has united after-isolated communities into influential crowdcultures. Crowdcultures are quite prolific cultural innovators. Their members produce their personal content—so properly that firms basically cannot compete. Contemplate that people creating videos in their living rooms top the charts on YouTube, which handful of firms have managed to crack.
Sales effectiveness is the company's lifeline. A vigorous revenue stream is a single of the bare essentials a firm have to have power over for its survival. Since sales is 1 of the most objective aspects of business measurable by numbers, deteriorating sales efficiency could predictably signal the demise of functional operations. As such, managers/leaders need to have the knack for constructing realistic forecasts that help in consistently meeting the sales plan and its targets.
The bête noire of the preindustrial meals movement is quickly food, so the idea that a main fast meals firm would market that story was especially potent with the crowd. Chipotle was taking on pink slime! Furthermore, boutique locavore meals was pricey, but at Chipotle people could now assuage their worries with a $7 burrito. Due to the fact they tapped into anxieties percolating in the crowdculture, Chipotle's films never ever had to compete as wonderful entertainment.

Geotube dewatering technology aids in lagoon cleanout, expands capacity, and helps address environmental concerns—often at a reduced cost compared to other methods.
Pulp and paper mills have to manage water to be successful. That includes planning and executing efficient dewatering operations.
And a technology from TenCate has proven itself highly successful in pulp and paper facilities throughout North America. Geotube dewatering technology has been used for lagoon cleanout, dewatering process waste, and even environmental remediation.
TenCate develops and produces materials that function to increase performance, reduce cost, and deliver measurable results by working with our customers to provide advanced solutions.
There are numerous examples of success.
In Niagara, Wl, a Stora Enso mill uses 7,500,000 gallons per day of river water to make pulp & paper. Before the water can be used in process, it first must be treated to remove solids. Solids are removed from the water by treating it initially with alum, and then a flocculent, which allows them to settle in a 2,000,000 gallon settling tank system.
This tank requires yearly cleaning to ensure quality water for the paper making process and performance of equipment on the bottom of the tank. Cleanout is a significant operation, which requires emptying the entire 2,000,000 gallon tank that contains approximately 60,000 to 80,000 pounds of solids. The solids must be consolidated as much as possible to reduce disposal cost
Historically, the tank was decanted to the river, ensuring the solids level to be within permit levels. The sludge was then slowly flushed and washed to the clarifier for retreating, then sent to the primary solids pressing area. The solids processing area, however, was not designed for alum sludge. This procedure increased chemical cost caused upsets in the clarifier and pressing systems, and created time restraints. However, by using Geotube dewatering technology, Stora Enso was able to completely flush and clean the tank out in record time, without sending high solids loads to other areas.
Upon testing the filtrate, the solids were so low that Stora Enso was able to send the filtrate directly to the river instead of the clarifier, reducing the loading on other treatment areas. The Geotube dewatering technology system at Stora Enso has the capacity to contain several years of alum sludge settling from the tank clean-outs.
At the Lake Utopia mill in St George, New Brunswick, a black liquor lagoon was about to overflow into an adjacent river. The sludge level needed to be lowered immediately. Geotube dewatering technology accomplished this in less than seven days.

Type-2 diabetes is one of the most common diseases that has been affecting many. The basic causes of type-2 diabetes are genetics and lifestyle.
It is found that lack of workout and intake of sugary diet lead to people being diagnosed with high sugar levels within a time span of 5 years. Around 90 percent of diabetics is found to be type-2, which impacts the health in various ways starting from slowing the body's wound healing speed, leaving one fatigued, hungry and thirsty.
High blood sugar also makes one prone to cardiovascular ailments such as heart stroke and also speeds up ageing.
Experts suggest Mediterranean diet to aid in depleting sugar levels, while providing the body with crucial nutrients. This diet helps in reducing blood sugar levels and preventing diabetes, improving fertility in women. It also helps combat eczema.
Mediterranean diet is a protein-rich diet, which includes whole grains, legumes, olive oil, a rich portion of fruits, salads, vegetables, chicken, fish and eggs along with moderate quantity of red wine, which is low on sugar and a great source of antioxidants.
Following this diet helps in controlling high blood sugar levels, weight and also combats depression, heart attack, inflammation as well as Alzheimer's disease. The benefits of consuming this low-carb diet shows up slowly.
You can also switch to these options for breakfast in order to prevent type 2 diabetes as it keeps you full and nourished, while helping you lose weight:
- Scrambled eggs
- Fish cakes
- Porridge with fruits
- Lemon and roast chicken with garlic and thyme
- Prawn kebabs
- Bacon and broccoli fry
- Lamb with crushed garlic

Recipe from The Craft of Baking
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Grind the oats in a food processor or blender to make a fine flour. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until well combined. Add the egg and beat to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the dry ingredients in two additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each one. Add the carrots and mix until just to combine. The dough will be very sticky.
Drop 1-tablespoon mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1/2 inch apart. Bake, rotating the sheets once halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown and spring back when gently touched in the center, about 12 minutes. Cool the cookies completely, on the baking sheets set on a wire rack, before filling.
To make the filling, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, butter, lemon zest, sugar, and salt on medium speed until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (The filling can be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let it come to room temperature before using.)
Using a small spoon or spatula, spread 1 teaspoon of the filling over the flat side of half of the cookies. Sandwich with the remaining cookies, flat sides together.
The cookies can be kept in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

How many can play Catalyst?
The game is set up for 2-6 people, but any number can
play. The more players there are, however, the longer the game
tends to go. We once used a pistachio shell as a game piece to
accommodate a seventh person.
Can I play by myself?
Although Catalyst is intended for group play to foster
community and gain more insight, Catalyst can be played
alone. In that case, make sure to listen to your inner wisdom
and be open to unconventional ways of looking at your focus.
Also be certain to finish up the game by writing down your
Inspiration at the end (see if you can get a friend to help
support you in the fulfillment of those intentions). It
is recommended to play with others, however, whenever
possible. Call a few friends and have a Catalyst
Can kids
play too? The game was originally designed to entertain adults
primarily, but surprisingly, kids seem to like Catalyst, too. So if you have an older child that is psychologically
or spiritually insightful, who interested in playing,
there is nothing in Catalyst that is for adult eyes only.
They may just need a little help withunderstanding some of the words or concepts. I have plans in the works to create a game for
families with children that will encourage self-empowerment
& creativity, understanding each other outside of familial
roles, and having LOTS of fun together.
How long does it take to
play Catalyst? To get the most out of the
game, set aside at least a half hours worth of time per
player. However, Catalyst can be played within any time frame
you wish.
Do we really need a
facilitator? The facilitator is necessary
for keeping the game moving and to remind people to apply what
they experience to their focuses. It really isn't hard and
there is generally someone in any group who is willing to be
in charge of this. For people who would like more hints on how
to facilitate Catalyst, I will be adding some extra tips for
game play to this website in the very near future and will
update as things occur to me.
How do I get more Catalyst
Worksheets? Through this website and for FREE. Soon
there will be value-added material like a window to print more
worksheets, and extra game play & facilitation tips. If
you need more worksheets before the link is posted on the
web, please fill out the form below and request the worksheet
template. I would be happy to send it to you as a PDF
there plans for any others versions of Catalyst?
Absolutely. Once the first edition is well established, the
next projects planned are a family edition to help parents and
children communicate better, grow closer, and empower
each other, and a Christian edition. Catalyst is getting a lot of attention from the
Hispanic community so a Spanish language version is likely to
come in the not-too-distant future.
Where can I purchase Catalyst at a store near
me? Catalyst can be purchased at the following places:
United States
Events of Maryland, 1350 Blair Dr, Ste G Odenton, MD

This is some coincidence. I was only looking at this book today and wondering whether or not I should buy it .. is it worth reading, do you think ? I havent loved what Ive read from Walt (mainly everything ove the last decade) but from what I hear his early work was genuinely very good ?
- September 26, 2014 at 6:34 PM

I have borrowing privileges from a univ. library that I live about 25 minutes away from, and I tend to be somewhat stingy about buying books -- so I took this out from the library (of course, that library is far from having *everything* one might want, but it did have this). I took it out mainly to look at the Fr. Revolution chapter, b.c I was curious how he dealt w it in light
of having read Bell's 'The First Total War' recently. I basically just glanced at the opening, skipped most of the theory chapter (ch.2) and went straight to ch.3 on the Fr. Rev. b.c that's what i was interested in.
Thus I haven't read enough of it to say whether it's worth reading, though it's prob. not something I wd read straight through in any case. (I also happen to have, in a pile of articles, an article somewhat critical of it, which I'm not going to dig out rt now).
What this kind of bk requires of an author is being able to absorb and synthesize a lot of secondary sources and work them into a narrative that supports your thesis (or theses), and Walt I think is good at that. The research for the Fr Rev chapter is, as one wd expect in this kind of case-study bk, secondary sources but seems quite thorough. So purely from the standpoint of execution, the bk seems well executed. Again, whether it's worth reading is a separate question.
Of Walt's books, I've read Taming American Power from a few yrs ago (thought that was ok). I have not read the first bk, Origins of Alliances, which was his diss., and I have no particular plans to. This ('Rev. and War') was the second one, after 'Origins'.
Sorry, long-winded response.

I assume you wd prob be most interested in the chap. on the Iranian Rev., which I haven't looked at yet.
Btw if you are interested in a comparative study of Third World revolutions, Jeff Goodwin is prob. good, tho it came out a while ago -- I forget the exact name of the bk. There's also another one I'm thinking of, but I wd have to look up the author's name.
- September 26, 2014 at 9:08 PM
"Sorry, long-winded response. "
Ah, no problem there ; )
'Worth reading' I meant more 'is the research convincing, and are the case studies thorough", which seems to be the case from what youve said. (I'm looking for something to read on revolutionary regimes and how it affects their behaviour/FP, primarily to think through what's going on in the Middle East with ISIS)
I've the opposite problem to you; no decent library so I end up buying everything on kindle when the price drops(ie in this case), but dont actually get around to reading it properly for months.
- September 26, 2014 at 9:11 PM
crossposted above- I've actually seen Goodwins book, but too expensive (and more importantly at the minute, not on kindle) but definitely want to get around to reading it at some stage.
In this case actually Im more interested in the Soviet and French Revolution cases as I dont know anything really about either(though I've bought 'bloodlands' after Anderson's rec so will see how that(the bits I get through) goes)

I'm looking for something to read on revolutionary regimes and how it affects their behaviour/FP, primarily to think through what's going on in the Middle East with ISIS
I can think of a couple of respects in which the French revolutionaries of the late 18th cent. and ISIS are diametric opposites: notably, the former are usu. seen as quintessential carriers or embodiments of 'modernity,' whereas the latter (arguably) represent part of a violent reaction vs it. The French Rev was a social/political revolution that transformed an existing state (as well as affecting the intl system). Is ISIS' claimed caliphate (or whatever) comparable in any significant way? Apart from generic 'radicalism', I'm not at all sure. There may still be some pt in reading about past revolutionary regimes and the 'classic' modern revolutions to understand Islamic jihadism, but I suspect whatever lessons are there to be drawn may be quite indirect.
- September 27, 2014 at 3:11 PM
- LFC said...
A closer analogue might be past 'anti-modernist' or 'anti-modernization' mvts, as argued in, e.g., M. Mazarr, Unmodern Men in the Modern World (2007). There's also a bk co-authored by Charles Lindholm that might be relevant. (I'll try to get title and give it in next box.)
- September 27, 2014 at 3:21 PM
- LFC said...
Charles Lindholm and J.P. Zuquete, The Struggle for the World (2010)
It's true that ISIS's holding of territory makes it different from these other mvts, but again, I don't know how much light Walt's cases will throw on this. (I'd have to think about it, I guess.)
- September 27, 2014 at 3:26 PM
Isn't Walt's argument, though, that 'revolutionary regimes' (regardless of ideology) produce certain similar outcomes (both -afaict- in regime behaviour, or at least in how their threat is perceived by other states ?) Which means there might be some similarity in how a revolutionay regime (even if it is reactionary or premodern) like ISIS would create security competition in the region ?
Having said that, I take the point that their declared Caliphate isnt exactly comparable to taking over the administration of a functioning state (at the moment, or realistically in the future) , so the comparison problem isn't ideal.
Thanks for the recs, particularly Mazarr's book which Id never heard off and looks pretty interesting.(and more relevant)
- September 29, 2014 at 8:01 AM
- LFC said...
Yes, there might be some similarities. And it's true Walt claims that revolutionary movements w very different *specific* ideologies share certain *general* ideological features -- e.g., a stress on the intrinsic evil of opponents and the "universal meaning" of the revolution (see pp.22 ff.)
But part of the difficulty, perhaps, is that Walt's theory is about the mechanisms by which revolution increases security competition and can lead to war, whereas here the "revolution" (i.e., rise of IS) has occurred within the context of wars that are/were already going on. IS, as everyone says, grew out of and is the successor to Al Qaeda in Iraq, but it's not that the rise of IS led to war in Iraq and Syria; rather, the phase of violent unrest in Iraq that was precipitated by the '03 invasion and has continued, in one way or other and at one level or another since then, provided the context and occasion for IS's rise.
So, to oversimplify, the direction of the causal arrows is (arguably) different:
Walt's theory:
revolution -> war
The case of IS:
war -> "revolution" (i.e. the "regime" of IS)
If this suggestion about the causal arrows is at all valid (and it may not be, since it may be artificially separating IS from a broader jihadist mvt of which it shd be considered one expression), then trying to apply W's theory here may have a certain pounding-a-square-block-into-a-round-hole quality. Which is not to say that one couldn't get certain insights from it. (Sorry for the length of this comment; I was trying to think this out as I went along.)
- September 29, 2014 at 11:48 AM
"(Sorry for the length of this comment; I was trying to think this out as I went along.) "
No,that all makes sense. Thanks.
- September 30, 2014 at 6:04 AM
ps I only got around to reading the Bell review yesterday, and noticed you mentioned Walt there as well(also the Bukovansky book which looks decent)
So still a coincidence, though perhaps not as much as I thought originaly

New federal funds for Va. schools
Virginia is getting another $324.6 million in stimulus funds for public education.
The award, announced Wednesday by Democratic Sens. Jim Webb and Mark Warner, brings Virginia's total stimulus funding for public education to more than $2 billion.
Warner says public education funding cuts in Virginia would have been deeper without the federal dollars.
Webb says the additional funding will help the state retain quality teachers and improve students' academic results.

VA workers receive $118 Billion a year in Government spending but the state refuses to raise taxes enough to pay for basic infrastructure improvements. Instead it fights for even more government handouts while complaining about government regulations that Preserves, Conserves and Protects people and resources. The Wealthiest Hypocrites love to Complain while others are Starving or Fighting in the Middle East.
It's not very Christian of McDonnell and Wealthy Virginians to take Billions from Federal Spending and Benefits then support Right Wing Tea Partiers bringing Guns to State parks to Intimidate people and complain about the most vulnerable getting some benefits.
Virginia's love-hate relationship with federal spending
Ten cents of every federal procurement dollar spent anywhere on Earth is spent in Virginia. More than 15,000 Virginia companies hold federal contracts, a number that has almost tripled since 2001. Total federal spending -- from salaries to outsourced contracts -- has more than doubled, to $118 billion, since 2000, as homeland security and defense spending skyrocketed in response to the 2001 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. By 2008, it accounted for about 30 percent of Virginia's entire economy.
Federal dollars have filtered through the rest of the economy, too, helping to build the high-tech Dulles corridor and funding new homes and cars for federal workers and contractors and meals at local restaurants. The billions have helped fuel the economic boom cycles of the past decade and have cushioned the blow of the recent recession, particularly in Northern Virginia, where the unemployment rate has stayed stubbornly below 6 percent, less than the state and national rates.
"We have a rich uncle, I like to remind people -- Uncle Sam," said Stephen Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University.
It is Selfish and Irresponsible for Virginians to Refuse to Pay Taxes to Help People who are Recently Unemployed, and to Help Create Jobs. The State and Workers of Virginia benefit more than anyone from Federal and Military Spending. McDonnell and the State of Virginia need to Invest those Profits in Non-Federal Sustainable Industries such as Offshore Wind Manufacturing to Create Jobs instead of seeking Federal and Military handouts while Complaining about Federal Regulations.

Modeling Microarray Data: Interpreting and communicating the biological results
Pittelkow, Y. E.
Wilson, S. R.
Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics - JIB (ISSN 1613-4516)
Various statistical models have been proposed for detecting differential gene expression in data from microarray experiments. Given such detection, we are usually interested in describing the differential expression patterns. Due to the large number of genes that are typically analysed in microarray experiments, possibly more than ten thousand, the tasks of interpretation and communication of all the corresponding statistical models pose a considerable challenge, except perhaps in the simplest experiment involving only two groups. A further challenge is to find methods to summarize the resulting models. These challenges increase with experimental complexity. Biologists often wish to sort genes into 'classes' with similar response profiles/patterns. So, in this paper we describe a likelihood approach for assigning genes to these different class patterns for data from a replicated experimental design. The number of potential patterns increases very quickly as the number of combinations in the experimental design increases. In a two group experimental design there are only three patterns required to describe the mean response: up, down and no difference. For a factorial design with three treatments there are 13 different patterns, and with four levels there are 75 potential patterns to be considered, and so on. The approach is applied to the identification of differential response patterns in gene expression from a microarray experiment using RNA extracted from the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana plants. We compare patterns of response found using additive and multiplicative models. A multiplicative model is more commonly used in the statistical analysis of microarray data because of the variance stabilizing properties of the logarithmic function. Then the error structure of the model is taken to be log-Normal. On the other hand, for the additive model the gene expression value is modeled directly as being from a gamma distribution which successfully accounts for the constant coefficient of variation often observed. Appropriate visualization displays for microarray data are important as a way of communicating the patterns of response amongst the genes. Here we use graphical 'icons' to represent the patterns of up/down and no response and two alternative displays, the Gene-plot and a grid layout to provide rapid overall summaries of the gene expression patterns.

Running Salinas
If it takes a village to raise a child, how much more is necessary to get an entire city up and running? A wide-ranging community effort is underway right now to accomplish exactly that goal, beginning with the first annual Salinas Valley Half Marathon which is scheduled for August 7th.
For the last several years, the only road race in the community has been Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital's popular Heart and Sole 5K/10K, which just finished its 13th edition last weekend. However, for a town that's supposedly committed to fighting the obesity epidemic, one lonely running event seems like it's not nearly enough.
That's why Karen Nardozza stepped up and started planning the Salinas Valley Half Marathon. Her vision is to develop a destination race that will also showcase the Valley's world-class agriculture, wine, and tourism industries. The Salinas Valley Half Marathon is part of a larger non-profit agency she created to promote health, fitness, and community spirit in Salinas.
Karen gathered a who's who of Salinas professionals with a track record of success to help plan and organize the race. The list includes retired Salinas City Manager Dave Mora, retired CEO of the Central Coast YMCA Sharron Gish, recent CEO of the Salinas Chamber of Commerce Tiffany D'Tullio, Kristina Morales from Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital (who happens to be the race director of the Heart and Sole race), Francine Sullivan of Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway, John Lewis, owner of National Property Inspections, and Brad Griffin of Alvarez Technology.
She is also getting advice and guidance from the Big Sur International Marathon organization and even had the foresight to have KION meteorologist Tamara Berg on the planning committee. Tamara, who recently ran her first marathon at Big Sur, has promised to try to predict perfect weather for August 7th.
The 13.1-mile half-marathon starts, somewhat fittingly, at Soledad Mission, the 13th Mission founded in California. The majority of the course runs north on Foothill and River Roads, traversing beautiful fields and vineyards with slightly rolling elevation changes before finishing among the vines at Pessagno Winery. Every finisher receives a medal as well as a Salinas Valley Half Marathon logo wine glass to use at the post race celebration.
As for that larger community effort: the Salinas YMCA is hosting training programs for the half marathon, and saw more than 200 people at the first training session on May 6th. Training sessions continue every Thursday at 6PM, alternating between advice and discussions at the YMCA, or group track sessions at Hartnell track. For more information, call Lulu Vargas at 758-3811.
Financially, Karen has generated overwhelming support from the Salinas business community, with generous support from Taylor Farms, Monterey Pacific, Rotary Club, D'Arrigo Brothers, Foodsource, Ocean Mist Farms, Mann Packing, Rabobank, Balance Physical Therapy, Advance Tech Aircraft, and UCP East Garrison, LLC. However, more support is still needed, so if you want to contribute or volunteer please contact Karen via e-mail at email@example.com.
This year's inaugural event is already selling out quickly, with entrants from 17 different states and 2 foreign countries. The race will be capped at 1,000 runners, and the $55 race fee increases to $65 on June 1st, so we suggest that you sign up quickly on active.com. You can find any additional information about the race at www.salinasvalleyhalfmarathon.org.
Whether you're looking to run a beautiful half-marathon course, to support health promotion in your local community, or just be part of a wonderful day, get involved with the Salinas Valley Half Marathon to help get Salinas running again.

I was once a first time home buyer and I can recall my experience to be a little overwhelming even with the help of an experienced real estate agent and mortgage specialist. So if you feel the same way that's perfectly normal and don't worry, you will get through it.
First you would want to find out what you can afford. You need to contact your financial institution and find out how much they will lend to you as a mortgage. Be careful not to let them pull your credit report as the more times they do, it can hurt your credit score. I suggest acquiring your credit report yourself, it cost around 45 dollars and it does not affect your score. Bring it with you to the meeting and they will have no reason to pull your report. It is also important to discuss how interest rates will affect how much you will pay to the bank over time and what options you can get to pay down your mortgage faster.
Now you have a number in mind as to how much you should be looking for. Should you buy new or pre owned? There are good reasons to buy either way and I will summarize. Buying new is really about being able to pick and choose how your property will look and feel like. New home sellers usually offer a variation of styles and sizes to choose from usually in a subdivision or condo. Then you can customize your property at a design centre usually at great cost. New homes usually means newer and better technology and materials and more modern designs. The potential draw backs are you don't know your community.
As its new there is nowhere to drive or walk around to see your neighbours or schools etc…to get a feel of where you are living. Even after you have moved into your new home, there could still be construction going on for years, and the new home owner has to deal with dust, noise and the settleing of the new home. There is a Tarion warrantee that helps protect the new homer for defects of the new home. The home owner still has to take time off from work to be around for the home builder to come by and fix what is broken which may not be too convenient. Renovations to the property usually have to wait for the home to settle or you may risk voiding warrantee.
Resale homes offer the new home buyer many more advantages than new home sale. Firstly the buyer can physically research the neighbourhood they are looking to buy into. They can walk the parks; visit the schools, shopping malls and hospitals. There is a saying in the business, location, location, location. It's a fact that all the most desirable places to live have already been developed. Perhaps the new home owner prefers to live close to the city centre or to the lakeshore. Or maybe they need to be close to the subway or GO station. My point is buying resale can get you into a neighbourhood that is more convenient to live in and is probably a better investment for when the home owner would like to move on and want to sell.
Outdated exteriors and interiors can be spruced up and even renovated to reflect the home owners styles and tastes…and usually cheaper than if they were to have bought a new home and customized it at the design center. If the home owner does not like the layout, walls can be removed to create an open concept feel so long as structural elements are not ignored. Older properties are usually larger so back yards can be used for greater entertaining or putting in a pool or deck.
Buying resale has its draw backs too. Dealing with renovators is not always easy. Monetary and time cost of retrofitting outdated roofs, windows, electrical, plumbing and HVAC can be expensive to make the property more efficient and able to handle new appliances etc… But consider the purchase price of a resale home in Toronto can be easily $700,000 and the cost of retrofitting it might only be $30,000 which is only just a small fraction of the purchase price. After the retrofit is done, think about the increase in the value of the home because of it and one can see it might not be as bad as it seems.
Making a list of needs and prioritizing them is very important and often over looked by the first time home buyer. I can't stress enough how making a list can help in keeping the search for a property on track as shopping for a property can be daunting. The first time property buyer also has many styles of homes(Detached, semi-detached, Town home, condo, bungalow and side split etc…) to choose from and from many different communities.
I highly recommend enlisting my services because as a real estate agent it is my business to know things that the everyday person would not know about real estate. Regardless if I'm chosen or not the agent's job is to understand the buyer's needs, show them appropriate listings, help the buyer to negotiate the purchase price, act as an advisor regarding any questions the buyer might have, be able to refer the buyer to lawyers and home inspectors and pretty much look after the buyers best interests.
When viewing potential properties it is my advice to view only during the day where potential defects or problems might be more visible. Take your time when browsing the property and follow a pattern for which to keep track of what may need to be fixed or what features might be of interest. I generally start looking at the ceiling, then move down ending at the floors. You might do the reverse, but the point is having a system of inspection keeps things more organized and you're less likely to miss things.
Once the buyer has found that just right property they want to own, then preparing the offer to purchase comes next. The realtor will provide options as to how much to offer based on their knowledge of comparable properties that have sold and which might be currently on the market. Ultimately it's the buyers choice as to how much to offer, but they should consider any counsel from their representative.
A clause is inserted to the offer of purchase that allows for an inspection to be conducted of the property before closing. This clause may or may not be negotiated in or out but I always put it in the contract for the client's best interest. At the same time there might also be another clause allowing the buyer to first find suitable financing and if the buyer is not able to they can get out of the deal. These offers can get quite complicated so I won't get into every situation, but once again the buyer should rely on their representation for advice and clarification. Be prepared for negotiations to go back and for several times before the acceptance of the offer to buy in accepted. A deposit which is negotiable is required at acceptance and commonly its $5000 - $15000 where the higher the deposit is the more serious the offer.
During the time after acceptance of the offer and the closing date, the buyer and seller has specified times to complete the clauses. This also is a time for the buyer to meet with their lawyer who will check for any outstanding liens and verify ownership and other legal concerns are in order. They do this at a fee for which the buyer will have to pay as part of what is known as the closing costs. Other closing costs can be surveying cost, Title Insurance, Land Transfer Tax, Disbursements, Statement of Adjustments, Home Insurance, Mortgage application and appraisal fees and CMHC insurance premiums.
All that's left is to take possession at closing. Make sure to do a final inspection of all appliances as this is the last time you will have any recourse at the vendor as the warrantee ends that day. I hope this summary helps any of you first time home buyers and if you would like to discuss how I might be able to assist you please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com or call 416-993-TLEE.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
People get way too excited for Christmas way too fast. November barely begins before radio stations start pumping out Christmas music, stores start stocking for the impending rush and nearly every television commercial transitions to holiday themes. If you ask me, looking forward to Christmas over a month and a half ahead of time is a bit silly, but people like it and there's a demand for it, at least in most cases. I can't imagine the Christian based and family oriented communities were clamoring for A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, a movie that takes the sacred holiday (and the iconography associated with it) and uses it in the most offensive way possible. Don't grab granny for this one kids.
Years have gone by since Harold (John Cho) and Kumar's (Kal Penn) last adventure and the two have drifted apart. Kumar is still the same slacker-stoner he's always been while Harold has moved on, married and nabbed a high paying job on Wall Street. He wants nothing more than to live a normal life, but when Kumar shows up at Harold's house on Christmas Eve, they find themselves victims of yet another crazy adventure.
That's about all you really need to know about the "plot" because the "plot" is inconsequential. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is about gags and the film goes about getting them any way it can, even if that means disregarding entire portions of the story. We find out early on that Kumar's ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child, for instance, but it only serves as a late film character redemption, an unnecessary narrative arc in a movie where the characters turn into clay and whip out their penises for no other reason than to allow the audience to see one in 3D. There's also a side story involving two characters who are trapped in a closet at a mob boss's house, but it depressingly goes nowhere and serves as filler in between the comic absurdities of the main story, which, come to think of it, fares about the same.
The situations the two find themselves in are so ridiculous and strung together by such a loose narrative thread that one could write a thesis paper with a hypothesis arguing that the entire movie was really a drug trip journeying through Kumar's narcotics-laced brain, especially since he spends the entire opening moments getting high. There is nothing holding this thing together from scene to scene, but there are moments of genuine hilarity, which, at least for the purpose of this franchise, trumps poor storytelling. Sure, the drug jokes are old and you can only watch the characters blow CGI smoke towards your face so many times before it starts to wear thin, but if nothing else, you'll laugh at its political incorrectness and willingness to dope a young child up with marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy. A sequel set 10 years in the future where that young child has become a crack whore selling her body on the street for drugs might not be too amusing, but it sure is now.
The star of the show once again, however, is Neil Patrick Harris. His cameo was an added treat in the original movie and single-handedly saved the second from the brink of disaster. Well, he's back here and he's better than ever. The movie slyly works his homosexuality into the story, dealing with it in its own crude way and Neil Patrick Harris simply plays along. He may only be in the film for about ten minutes, but it's ten of the funniest minutes you'll see all year.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas shows signs of farcical intelligence early on, mocking the use of 3D while utilizing its unwelcome effect. In that sense, it takes a new approach to the format and makes it work, but that approach is not constant. Aside from a few clever moments, the 3D is simply there (but just barely), once again rearing its ugly, unnecessary and worthless head. Still, there is some holiday joy to be found in it, perverted and juvenile though it may be. One thing's for sure. After watching this, you'll never be able to look at A Christmas Story the same way again.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas receives 2.5/5

Coming this week to DVD and Digital HD from director Mark Schmidt and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is a film based on a true story when "Walking with the Enemy."
It is World War II when Elek Cohen (Jonas Armstrong), a young man who is aware that the Germans are moving into villages all around them. Going away to be part of a work crew, their treatment is nothing short of horrible.
When Elek walks away with his friend Miklos (Simon Dutton), they return to their village in Budapest only to discover none of their family can be found. They have disappeared and a new family has taken over the house.
They learn that the families may have been moved west but no one really knows for sure. Told they are in Yellow Star houses, Elek finds Hannah (Hannah Tointon) who tells them Jozsef (Simon Kunz) is there.
Told there is a place up in the mountains called Waldensee where they might be. It is hard to know. Needing Schutz-pass, they are told it is the only way to be safe. But, when Hannah is chased home by German soldiers, the unthinkable happens in a series of horrific events.
Regent Horthy (Ben Kingsley) of the town is under pressure by Col. Skorzeny (Burn Gorman), a man who doesn't reason at all. Niklos Horthy (Shane Taylor) tries to back up his father but to no avail.
Elek is taken in by Miklos, Hanna's Uncle who gives him a job delivering the precious Schutz-passes. Soon Col. Skorzeny announces that these passes will no longer be valid putting the Hungarian Jews in even more jeopardy.
When Elek has to rescue his friend from the Germans, they dig up a suit belonging to soldiers and make a daring rescue like nothing that has been seen before. When an armistice comes it doesn't stop the Germans for attacking. Now Regent Horthy does what he must to protect Hungarian citizens but to no avail.
The Germans begin to tear the city apart and its Jewish citizens are rounded up. Elek decides the only way to help is by putting on the German uniform and using it to their advantage. Saving those he can he knows that Eichmann continues to deport more and more Jews. The Glass House were they are taken too is overflowing with those they have saved.
When the trains are cut off, Elek knows there has to be another way to get them out. Walking on the road are those who are holding Swiss passes and when a German convoy comes upon them, he knows not all can be saved. The Germans attack the Glass House and take everyone into custody but as they come under attack from the Russians, Elek is still in the German uniform.
He will never stop trying to save as many as he can.
Armstrong as Elek is devastated that his family was gone when he returns to the village. Watching all the Jews around him go through the same, his plan to save them by wearing the German uniform is as dangerous as one would imagine. Armstrong gives his character such sadness yet a strength that comes across so genuinely.
Kingsley as Horthy is a small role but important in that he wanted to protect all the citizens of his country. Trying to keep the Germans at bay for as long as possible, it was only a matter of time before even his attempts would fail. I enjoyed his performance as I always do.
Dutton as Miklos is of the same heart as Elek in his passion for saving as many lives as he can working with others who sacrifice everything – even their lives. Kunz as Jozsef does what he can and his sacrifice includes a beard.
Gorman as Col. Skorzeny is as vicious as he can be. Pushing his way past Regent Horthy, he doesn't care what anyone thinks when putting Eichmann in charge of the Jewish population. Gorman has the perfect appearance of someone to be afraid of!
Tointon as Hannah is the one thing Elek has to keep him whole. She tries to stay strong for him, even at the cost of losing her own family. Tointon is a bright spot in the middle of darkness.
Other cast includes, William Hope as Carl Lutz, Flora Longhurst as Rachel, Simon Hepworth as President Szalasi, Andrew Brooke as Capt. Kovarcz, Charles De'Ath as Lt. Krieger, Mark Wells as Ferenc Jacobson, Mark Wingett as Sorenzi and Charles Hubbell as Adolf Eichmann.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment brings award-winning global product and new entertainment to DVD, Bluray, and Digital HD. There amazing collection offers fans an opportunity to expand their own home libraries with the best films. To discover what other titles they have please visit www.fox.com.
"Walking with the Enemy" is a story that not only teaches history of a dark time but what human beings are capable of. Elek is just one of so very many who put their lives at risk to save anyone they could. That is what makes these story's that come to screen so very powerful.
The film is inspired by the story of Pinchas Rosenbaum who dealt with the German occupation of Hungary and the towns and village of Budapest toward the end of World War II.
"Walking with the Enemy" is love, loyalty, family, community all rolled in to self-sacrifice and dignity to always do the right thing. That makes this film a teachable moment for us all.
In the end — a hero emerges!
