AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts is proud to be a leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Founded in 1983, AIDS Action is New England's largest AIDS service organization. For three decades, we've been advocating at all levels of government for fair and effective AIDS policies, conducting cutting edge HIV prevention programs, and providing health and wellness services to people already living with HIV.
Our work – in conjunction with partners around the state – has given Massachusetts one of the best track records in tackling this epidemic.
Since 1999, Massachusetts has seen a 52% reduction in new HIV diagnoses. This has translated to at least 7,000 at-risk individuals remaining HIV-negative, and a statewide savings of more than $2.4 billion in HIV-related health care costs.
At AIDS Action, we go beyond the basics of providing safer sex kits and HIV medications by taking a comprehensive approach to HIV prevention and care. By working face to face with the people most impacted by HIV, we're able to truly understand their complex needs and how these needs impact their health. This information helps public officials and politicians make life-changing policy and funding decisions.
At present, we work directly with one-in-six people diagnosed with HIV in our state, and provide prevention services to thousands more. Expanding on our successful model, we're also taking the fight to infections and diseases related to HIV, such as Hepatitis C.
In 2013, AIDS Action Committee entered into a historic partnership with Fenway Health, allowing the two organizations to work more closely together. This has resulted in improved delivery of care and services to people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as expanded advocacy efforts and greater HIV/AIDS research opportunities.

Fibre up with these whole grain recipes
Spring's in the air, so is spring cleaning. Perhaps this is a good to time to "spring clean" our eating habits for the new season. One way to get back into healthy noshing is to include whole grains into our lifestyle as an important part of a healthy diet.
So says award-winning cookbook author, professional home economist and TV personality Mairlyn Smith. "Switching from refined grains to whole grains is surprisingly easy," says Smith, a regular on CityLine, adding "when you consider there's a direction correlation between eating refined grains and developing Type 2 diabetes…it's certainly worth making these changes to your diet."
Adds Maria Depenweiller, a Milton-based professional home economist and also a member of the Ontario Home Economics Association (OHEA), (a self-regulated body of professional home economists that assists in achieving and maintaining a desirable quality of life), "whole grains are nutritious complex carbohydrates that are typically low in fat and a great source of fibre, B-vitamins and minerals…Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends that at least half the grains we eat daily should be whole grain."
Smith says delicious whole grain options such as barley, oats, spelt, wheat berries, brown rice, buckwheat and millet are widely available, affordable and easy to prepare.
"They're rich in fibre and fill you up, and work beautifully with a variety of ingredients," says Smith. "It's all easy and delicious and good for you."
Tips for serving whole grains more often courtesy of Ontario Home Economics Association:
- Try using a rice cooker to cook millet, barley or buckwheat
- Use low-sodium broth instead of water to increase flavour in grain dishes
- Replace white rice with brown rice, millet in side dishes
- Drizzle olive oil over cooked grains to add flavour
- Serve cooked buckwheat, oats or millet with hot or cold milk, adding toppings such as nuts, fresh or dried fruit for a healthy, tasty breakfast.
Steamed Millet with Pan-roasted Portobello Mushroom and Onions
Millet is an ancient seed that's also gluten-free. Recipe courtesy of Maria Depenweiller.
- 1 cup (250 mL) millet, well rinsed and drained
- 2 cups (500 mL) water
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large Portobello mushroom, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp (45 mL) canola oil
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) ground black pepper

In a large bowl, gently toss together the cooked millet, mushroom and onion. Serve hot as a main course or as a side dish.
Makes 6 servings.

In common with many other percussion instruments which are capable of playing melodies, the notes of a vibraphone are laid out in a standard keyboard format. Close in design to xylophones or marimbas which also have this layout, vibraphones are stuck with mallets, either in pairs or in fours, with two in each hand of the player. Unlike many percussion instruments, such as drums, vibraphones have a motor which operates a resonating tube. This gives the instrument a good deal of flexibility with the sound produced when played, enabling the musician to adjust and control the amount of tremolo and vibrato. For many, this is why the vibraphone has been a long-standing favourite of jazz musicians as well as classical ones. Used in both orchestras and jazz bands, the instrument also possesses a sustain pedal which operates in a similar manner to those found on pianos. Traders in percussion instruments can find out about current product suppliers and their specialist areas at productpilot.com.
Manufactured since the 1920s, there are many vibraphones which are currently in production around the world as well as being a significant trade in second hand and vintage instruments. Those associated with the earliest days of the instrument, such as ones used on the early recordings of Louis Armstrong, are much in demand. Most vibraphone manufacturer produce instruments which will cover an entire three octave range, although certain models and some bespoke vibraphones differs from this standard. In general, the lowest note found on a vibraphone corresponds to the note of F immediately below middle C. The instruments are large and normally come with a purpose built metal frame on which they can be transported and played.

This report paints a historical and demographic portrait of
the Burmese and Bhutanese experience in the United States
and gives voice to one Southeast Asian refugee community
and one South Asian refugee community who are largely
invisible in the current national discourse on Asian
American socioeconomic outcomes. National data show
that Bhutanese and Burmese constitute a large proportion
of refugees to the United States in recent years. Refugee
experiences in this study are based on existing statistical
data, interviews with 10 refugees working in different
capacities, and a review of existing studies and reports1
Lastly, we would like to add an important note that in
portions of the statistical data (specifically from the Current
Population Survey), the Bhutanese population is placed into
the "all others" category and cannot be disaggregated. Thus,
interviews and other sources of information are used to
help tell the Bhutanese narrative. (Description from source)

Mumbai, January 31st, 2015: They laughed; they cried; they fought; they loved. They truly lived through a remarkable journey that started off as Bigg Boss Season 8 and soon evolved into Bigg Boss Halla Bol. Today, after an emotion-filled stay in the Bigg Boss house, Gautam Gulati emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss Halla Bol. Be it his fellow contestants, wildcard contestants or even the erstwhile challengers, none were good enough to weaken Gautam's foothold either in the Bigg Boss house or in the minds of viewers. As the competition got fiercer, his attitude towards the game eventually reigned supreme as even the toughest tasks and the roughest situations did not weaken his grit and determination. An overwhelmed Gautam was welcomed with open arms by his friends and family members as host Farah Khan handed him the coveted Bigg Boss trophy along with the prize money of Rs.50 lakh. KarishmaTanna came in as the first runner-up for the show followed by Pritam Singh as the second runner-up.
Entering the show as an underdog, Gautam had been on the receiving end of the wrath of many of his fellow contestants. Be it his dance moves, his six-pack abs or his incredible ability to annoy people with the smallest antics, Gautam has showcased multiple nuances of his personality which have engaged and entertained viewers consistently. While some called it mental torture, there were others who labelled it as pure and unadulterated entertainment and enjoyed every bit. He found his closest friends in the renowned P3G group (PuneetIssar, Pritam Singh and PraneetBhat). While he had his camaraderie, Gautam's personality also pulled at the heartstrings of SonaliRaut and DiandraSoares. Enduring the pain and tears, Gautam marched on without fear and rising from the ashes just like the phoenix, and leaving a lasting impression on the minds of every single viewer of the show which made him the undisputed winner!
Pleasantly surprised at being declared as the winner of the eighth edition of Bigg Boss, an elated Gautam said, "I cannot believe that I have won! It has been an exceptional journey with plenty of ups and downs but it is an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I am greatly indebted to my family, friends and fans who have supported me throughout my journey on Bigg Boss, and cannot thank them enough. Emerging victorious is like a dream come true and I am now ready for the next phase of my career."
Speaking about the Grand Finale of Bigg Boss HallaBol, Manisha Sharma, Programming Head – COLORS, said, "This year, we have raised the bar of entertainment and excitement first through Bigg Boss Season 8 with Salman Khan and then with the twist of Bigg Boss HallaBol to create a truly unparalleled journey for contestants and viewers alike. Be it the exciting wildcard entries, the introduction of challengers or the tasks which brought out the best and worst in all the contestants, this season of Bigg Boss has seen it all. The added bonus of a successful season has only made the experience enriching. Ending this season on a high note with Farah Khan and the inclusion of our celebrity guests, we are now geared with great fervor to make the next season of the show even more entertaining and memorable."
Deepak Dhar, Managing Director – Endemol India Pvt. Ltd said, "With every season of Bigg Boss, we set out to introduce more zest and vigor to ensure that the show continues to be a gripping watch for viewers across the country. Our teams have worked tirelessly to present engaging content through varied tasks and activities which have struck a chord with the viewers. This season is among the most talked about seasons and we are delighted by the response it has received across the board from all our stakeholders."
The Grand Finale of Bigg Boss – HallaBol brought together a mix of style and eye-catching entertainment. The finalists received personalized makeovers from celebrity stylist Hakim Alim which saw Gautam, Pritam, Dimpy and Karishma getting some personalized haircuts and Ali getting a funky tattoo on his head that matched his true personality while inside the house. The contestants further came together for a glamorous performance with the diva, MalaikaArora Khan inside the Bigg Boss house. Joining the finalists was Bigg Boss aficionado SonakshiSinha who put the contestants in the line of fire as she questioned them about the stories that had been doing the rounds all season.
Adding the tadka of action to all the entertainment was KhatronKeKhiladi's Stunt Architect RohitShetty who came crashing into Bigg Boss house through a glass wall while taking the finalists back to the outside world. But this did not end the contestants' turmoil. The real drama unfolded when the kingpin of interrogation, Rajat Sharma put them in his famous kachehri and cross-examined them about the allegations and accusations that the contestants have faced while inside the house giving them one final opportunity to settle old scores and disputes.

Canning College was established by the Education Department of Western Australia in 1982 to provide a re-entry for adults to return to education at a Year 12 level. Since then, Canning College has established an enviable reputation for providing excellent educational opportunities and services for people hoping to re-enter general education, often with the view of qualifying for tertiary studies.
The success of Canning College's students over the past 20 plus years can be linked to the enthusiasm, patience, expertise and experience of the lecturers. There are also special support programs which help students, who are returning to formal education, cope with the demands of study.
Important dates in the History of Canning College:
Commencement of Mid Year Foundation Program for Domestic and International students.
Completion of first Independent Public School Review.
Canning College's was awarded a Top Public School Award from the Department of Education.
Canning College's first year of operating as an Independent Public School.
The Year 12 Stage 1 program was introduced for International students wanting to graduate high school and go into training rather than university pathway.
Canning College was amongst 30 public schools announced to be part of the first intake of Independent Public Schools, to start at the beginning of 2010.
First visit to Huaiyin High School in Huai'an City, China by the ESL Head, to teach the inaugural International Class. This was followed by ongoing online instruction twice a week to the class by a lecturer from the ESL Department.
A partnership between Canning College and Curtin University of Technology saw Curtin Enabling in Science and Engineering students commence classes in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics on the Canning College campus. This expanded in 2009 to include a Health Science and Computer Science stream.
The Bridging to Year 12 program was designed to prepare students for Year 12 in one semester. This gave those students who believed they needed some background and opportunity to get ready for Year 12 in a shortened period of time.
The ESL Department was established in recognition of the large number of migrants arriving in Australia who needed assistance in their English studies.
Western Australian Universtities' Foundation Program was introduced as an alternative system from the TEE for International students to matriculate.
Four members of staff were hand picked to create the "Flying Start" program. This program offers adults with the opportunity to upgrade their skills and knowledge to gain entry into Year 12. This program has now expanded and offers adult students the opportunity to complete the Years 10, 11 and 12.
The Entry Course for Australian Academic Studies (ECAAS) program was introduced to better prepare International students to Year 12 level study. This program later became the Bridging 15 Week Program.
The first public high school to accept fee-paying international students.
Canning College established on the site previously used by Bentley SHS.

Whether you are looking for home comfort or a better day in the office, the chair is a key component of the workspace. There are many reasons why people prefer ergonomic chairs over the normal traditional ones. The first reason is the comfort that comes with it. Comfort is essential in preventing bodily strain.
In addition, there are several other benefits of such a chair which are key to the overall health and well-being of a person. People with back problems or those who wish to prevent them will find ergonomic chairs to be very beneficial. These chairs are good in many ways, but they are also quite expensive. This is why the main aim of this write-up is to guide buyers on how to find a good and affordable ergonomic chair.
Here are a few points in that regard.
An affordable ergonomic chair needs to combine both aspects of features as well as price. When it comes to features, the most important aspects include the height, support, width and so on. All these features need to be included in a way that adequately suits your own needs. The features should provide sufficient comfort and serve the purpose they are supposed to serve. Affordability means that there are some sacrifices that have to be made in order to reduce the cost. This is why it is important to choose one that has less features on the overall but which are desirable to you.
There are a lot of used or refurbished products in the market that are almost as good as new. The good thing about deals on used items is that they are greatly discounted. The great discount does not always equate to the quality of the product itself. Most of the times, a product could be slightly used, but since it has fallen into the second-hand category, the value is lowered immensely.
As much as it might sound unusual, the key to finding any product today heavily relies on a little market survey. You can do this by visiting many different suppliers in your regions to analyze their deals as well as make comparisons. You might be surprised at what you find. Many relatively unknown suppliers usually stock most recognizable brands at lower prices than other suppliers. This is why it is the best route to take when you are pondering on how to find a good and affordable ergonomic chair.Learn More

Build Guide by WaVe
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Tryndamere Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, this is my first build, and since Tryndamere: The Barbarian King
is one of my mains i decided to show you how i pwn with him.
Summoners Spells
First of all. I chose Exhaust because you'll be able to slow your opponent if you're in trouble or if you need to catch up with them. It will also make your target attacks unable to hit you for the next 3 sec.
And then i chose Ignite. I use it to get kills if your target has low HP and if i face someone 1v1 and im not sure if im able to kill this champion i always use Ignite to increase my damage on the target.
Item Build
Boots of Speed + Health Potion
I chose Boots of Speed and x3 Health Potion in the start. You got a huge chance to get first kill because Boots of Speed give you the speed to catch up with your enimies. And hey, if you fail at that you always got 3 nice Health Potions :) So no worries.
Phantom Dancer
Then i chose Phantom Dancers because you need all the Critical Strike you can get as Tryndamere, and the Attack And Movement Speed is not bad either.
I chose this item because of its splash damage, and its Attack Damage.
The Black Cleaver
The Black Cleaver is for the pure damage, after you got x2 Phantom Dancers + The Black Cleaver will make your damage extremly high.
The Bloodthirster
Now, i know some of you might think "Hey what is The Bloodthirster doing in a Tryndamere build" Well i chose it because if you're facing Master yi Etc. he will prob. have a huge amount of Lifesteal. So The Bloodthirster will give you a chance against Champions like Master yi.
Infinity Edge
And the last item is Infinity Edge. I chose this item because of its damage, you will be able to get your opponent down rly fast. (It obviously depends on your score)
Champions Ability
Battle Fury
Tryndamere's Critical Strike chance increases as he becomes more wounded.
Passive: Whenever Tryndamere kills or critically strikes a unit, he gains 3 Attack Damage and 1.5 / 2.25 / 3 / 3.75 / 4.5% Critical Damage for 15 seconds (stackable 8 times). Killing a unit or critically striking while not Bloodlusted applies 2 stacks instead of 1.
Active: Tryndamere consumes his Bloodlusts, restoring 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 health per Bloodlust (+150% of ability power).
Cooldown 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 seconds | Range 319
Bloodlust is an excellent way to heal Tryndamere, try not to let too many fade off before you activate it.
Mocking Shout
Decreases surrounding champions' physical damage by 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100, and enemies with their backs turned also have their movement speed slowed by 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60%. Lasts 4 seconds.
Cooldown 14 seconds | Cost 25 health | Range 400
Spinning Slash
Tryndamere spins through his enemies, dealing 50% of his Attack Damage +40 / 90 / 140 / 185 / 240 (+100% of ability power) damage to enemies in his path.
Passive: Slash's cooldown is reduced by 2 sec whenever Tryndamere critically strikes.
Cooldown 9 seconds | Cost 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 mana | Range 25000
Undying Rage
Tryndamere becomes completely immune to death for 6 seconds, refusing to be reduced below 1 health. His abilities have no cost during this time and he gains 4 / 6 / 8 Bloodlust stacks.
Cooldown 130 / 115 / 100 seconds | Range 400
Delaying the activation of Undying Rage is a very effective way to make an enemy champion overcommit to trying to kill you.
Thats it. Now get you're *** out there and Own them :)
Now remember this is my number 1 Build so go easy on me xD
This Build Description is still under construction. But feel free to throw in a comment.
Please take time to explain why you +1 or -1 rated me.

If you have used TurboLaw for any length of time, chances are good that at some point you will need to move the program from one computer to another (probably to a new computer).
Moving TurboLaw is a fairly simple 3-step process:
- Install TurboLaw on the new computer
- If necessary, migrate your data (cases and files) to the new computer.
- Remove TurboLaw from the old computer.
If you are using TurboLaw on a network (that is, your data - cases and files - are kept on a server of some sort), then you can skip step #2. Instead, you will simply re-configure TurboLaw on the new computer to use the files on your server - for more on this, see How to Network TurboLaw.
Step 1: Install TurboLaw on the new computer
In most cases, you can log on to the TurboLaw customer site and click the Downloads tab to download the latest version of TurboLaw so that you can install it on your new computer. Alternatively, you can always email technical support or call us directly at (800) 518-8726.
Step 2: Migrate your data
This step is only needed if your data is kept on your old computer and nowhere else. If your data is kept on a computer on your network, or on a flash drive, or external hard drive, etc., then you can skip this step and instead follow the instructions found in How to Network TurboLaw.
The TurboLaw Migration Wizard is a tool which allows you to transfer (or "migrate") all of your cases, documents, and other TurboLaw data to a new computer in just a few simple steps.
Open the Migration Wizard on your old computer by clicking your Start menu and then clicking on All Programs > TurboLaw > Utilities > TurboLaw Migration Wizard. If you do not see the Migration Wizard as an option, you can download the Migration Wizard setup file by clicking here.
Follow the instructions in the Migration Wizard to create your migration file.
- Copy the migration file to your new computer.
- Run the Migration Wizard on your new computer by clicking your Start menu and then clicking on All Programs > TurboLaw > Utilities > TurboLaw Migration Wizard.
- Follow the instructions in the Migration Wizard to finish the migration.
NOTE: If you used the Alternate Case Folder option on any of your cases on your old computer, when the cases are migrated to your new computer, you will need to re-set the Alternate Case Folder option for those cases, as the migration utility cannot directly migrate these sorts of custom folders from one computer to another (your files will still be transferred, but they will no longer be using the custom folder you set).
Step 3: Remove TurboLaw from the old computer
Once you are satisfied that your TurboLaw data (cases and files) has been moved to the new computer, you can uninstall TurboLaw from your old computer. You can do this via the Windows Control Panel, or by clicking on the Start menu and then clicking on All Programs > TurboLaw > Remove TurboLaw.
If you skipped step 2 because your data was located on a network drive, removable drive, or other location, then you will need to use the Configure for Network option on the File menu to point TurboLaw to the location of your data.
Once you have removed TurboLaw from the old computer, you can register TurboLaw on the new computer. You need to register TurboLaw on the new computer within 30 days of installation.
If you can't uninstall the program from your old computer for some reason, or if after uninstalling it you can't register on the new computer, please contact TurboLaw tech support.

However, Christmas 2009 was filled with emotions. Happiness, nervousness and sadness.
Happiness: Joseph asked me to marry him. He wrote me a beautiful letter with a pen and ink well. Wrapped with a big red bow lovingly made by his sister. Our families surrounded us, meeting each other for the first time, as I carefully unwrapped the letter. He watched my eyes as I read the letter:
My Dear Jessica,These past several months as I have come to know you better, I have come to the realization that I do not ever want to live without you.
Your love for Christ is encouraging to me and your faith in Him is something that I admire in you.
Your love for me, and acceptance of me despite my many faults, continues to surprise and overwhelm me daily.
You are the most beautiful woman, both internally and externally, that I have ever known.
Your appreciation of thoughtfulness and romance inspires and encourages me to cultivate my ability to surprise and romance you.
Your intelligence helps me to enjoy your outlook and perception in every aspect of my life.
Your love for music, writing, poetry, beauty, and thought are aspects of you that I enjoy and hope to encourage.
Your constant encouragement of me in the areas in which I need improvement motivates me to be the man of God that He created me to be.
Your gentleness and patience are aspects of your personality that I have always desired and needed in the woman that I marry.
I cannot, and will not, settle for my life alone apart from you, and implore you to join me in serving our Saviour together.
I understand that our many differences will create unknown challenges for us in our marriage, but I am certain that Christ has placed us together to grow both of us further.
I will always love you, will acknowledge you in all that I do, and will attempt to serve you selflessly in all that I do.
In following Christ, and in keeping with the commandments of Scripture, I must request that you marry me, and continue on our path together toward Christ.
For these reasons and many, many more, I am writing to ask your hand in marriage.
Swoon! Cry! Laugh!
He then proceeded to get down on one knee and ask me to be his forever. He opened the ring box... STOP. WAIT A MINUTE.But....wait....what? Huh? That is not my grandma's ring!? What?
Yes...I said what about a million times. Joseph and my mom conspired to get me the ring of my dreams. I'm not complaining ;)

Were you surprised on your engagement day? Did you expect one thing but get another?

If you haven't done so, your lawn needs to be cut back to about an inch or, an inch and a half. You also need to clear it if all debris, leaves, twigs, etc. All this will prevent issues when the snow melts and spring returns. It is also a good time to add a little extra, high-quality grass seed to you turf to help it come the new year.
Leaving grass long will enhance the probability it will be matted with excess thatch once the turf is visible once more. Cutting the grass back will also prevent snow mould and damage from critters like voles who love to tunnel their way under the snow while leaving tracks in your lawn.
This winter is expected to be quite severe and the opposite of last year's mild conditions.
So, do your self a favour and your grass as well. When the days become shorter, so should the length of your lawn. Otherwise, come spring you may be in for a rude awakening.

Review: The Heat
PLOT: An uptight FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) is paired up with a crazy Boston cop (Melissa McCarthy) in order to take down a violent drug lord.
REVIEW: I had high hopes for THE HEAT. It should have been good. Its director Paul Feigs follow-up to BRIDESMAIDS which was one of my favorite movies of 2011 and the film that made a star out of Melissa McCarthy, who hes reteamed with here. Bringing Sandra Bullock on board- herself riding a career high after winning an Oscar for THE BLIND SIDE- seemed like an inspired choice. Most importantly, the red-band trailer was funny. Really funny. What happened?
Its amazing how the same jokes that worked in a frenetic two minute trailer (are we engaged? Because you just gave me a ring muthf*cka!) can just fall flat cut into a close to two-hour comedy. Despite the talent both behind and in front of the camera, THE HEAT really doesnt work at all. Both McCarthy and Bullock try their best to wring a few laughs out of the material, and occasionally succeed, but overall this is just a mess.
THE HEAT just drags and drags, spending way too much time on a drug caper no one will care about, and pretty much disappeared from my memory five minutes after the credits started to roll. Feig seems to be trying to make Bullock and McCarthy into a new buddy-cop team to be reckoned with, but tonally this seems off. Most of the time THE HEAT is meant as a broad comedy, with both stars playing up the comedy (which in itself seems like a problem, as you need a straight person rather than two funny ones). Then, THE HEAT takes a detour into action movie territory with a mean spirited henchman, a gruesome torture scene, and occasional blasts of violence that are jarring in such an otherwise light movie. And whats with the obsession these days with shooting bad guys in the groin? Wasnt that already done in 21 JUMP STREET? And then they mix dopey comedy and physical gags into the violence, making for an awkward, off-putting mix.
In its defense, THE HEAT certainly isnt too much of an ordeal to sit through, but its hopelessly mediocre. It has a few moments of inspired lunacy. The best part of the film all revolve around McCarthys blue-collar Boston family, with her older brother played by Michael Rappaport being tied to the drug-dealing baddies. Jane Curtin is funny as her foul-mouthed mother, who drives around listening to (what else?) Bostons More than a Feeling. Joey McIntyre (thats right) from New Kids on the Block, is hilarious as her familys most profane member. In another bit of outside the box casting that really works, Thomas F. Wilson (BIFF!) from BACK TO THE FUTURE shows up as McCarthys brow-beaten boss, and he gets a lot of THE HEATs funniest lines, all delivered in a low-key, offhand way thats the subtlest and most effective humor in the film.
Its a real drag giving THE HEAT a bad review as I was really hoping Feig and McCarthy would be able to pull this off. McCarthy deserves better big-screen vehicles than this and IDENTITY THIEF, while Bullock seems game to poke fun at herself (and at forty-nine she looks at least a decade younger). THE HEAT had potential, but its no LETHAL WEAPON, or more appropriately for the tone, 21 JUMP STREET. It has more in common with bad nineties comedies like V.I WARSHAWSKI. Too bad, this could have been a nice bit of counter-programing.
|Extra Tidbit:
|If GRAVITY's as good as I'm hearing, Bullock could find herself with another Oscar.

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan is to undergo brain surgery after sustaining an injury on set while filming his latest movie Bang Bang.
The actor was admitted to the Hunduja hospital in Mumbai, India on Sunday (07July13) to have an operation to remove a clot which developed after he hit his head while shooting the film, opposite Katrina Kaif, two months ago.
Roshan, 39, alerted fans to his impending surgery with a post on his Facebook.com page which reads, "We all know that we create a life of joy using the power of our mind. I've had the privilege of creating wonders with this amazing gift given to us called the brain.
"Occasionally one must look within and realize its value. It gives us the power to see, hear, touch, smell and taste, it allows us to conquer fear and create courage to do things we never imagined. Maybe it's time for me to feel the power literally.
"I am going to go through brain surgery today and want you to know that I am going in with absolute power to recover fast. My thanks to all of you for using the power of your mind to contribute to my life."
He later added, "Minor brain surgery to remove blood clot (chronic subdural haematoma). Should be rock n rolling by evening! U (you) guys have a great day too! Supersonic!!"

Santogold: Not the Ideal Dog Sitter
Plus: Peter Berg on the joys of a PG-13 rating, and Steven Spielberg on his secret shame.

"John Williams and I have a word we use when we have something we think the audience will love. Maybe it'll be a little over the top, and we ask each other, 'Are we being too shameless?' In a way I think we've both grown kind of proud of being shameless." —Steven Spielberg [NYT]

Otter Buddies
Posted on August 31st 2009 under Uncategorized
These guys were hanging out on the boat ramp right next to the seafood market waiting for their human friend to come out with some leftovers. I've frequently seen them playing in the water at the marina hunting their own dinner but maybe they get Sundays off too. The guy at the market said that all four of his buddies had been hanging out earlier today but maybe one of the Fernandina fish boats came in and they could get a fresher dinner. Smart little guys. And pretty cute too.

Happy Halloween, Twilighters!
Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart put their best pout on as they pose on the rocks of the St. Regis Grand Hotel on Friday in Rome, Italy.
In a recent interview with the L.A. Times, Robert said he knew that big changes were in store as soon as he landed the role of Edward in the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel. "It's happened since the day it got said that I was playing the part. It was like a day when it changed. [People went from saying] 'Are you the guy from Harry Potter? to 'It's Edward!' It's really, really strange."
The on-screen couple along with director Catherine Hardwicke premiered Twilight at the Rome International Film Festival last night.

"The most important thing: when you open the package and find what's inside, don't keep it longer than a week. Sure, it'll be tempting. I mean, it will grant you almost unlimited power. But if you possess it too long, it will consume you. Learn its secrets quickly and pass it on. Hide it for the next person, the way Sadie and I did for you. Then be prepared for your life to get very interesting."
Carter, Chapter 1: A Death at the Needle, page 1
"Sweetheart, I love you. And I'm sorry... I'm sorry for many things, but there's no time now. If this works, I promise I'll make everything better for all of us. Carter, you're my brave man. You have to trust me. Remember, lock up Dr. Martin. Then stay out of this room!"

Traffic to e-commerce sites from tablets (mainly iPads) has increased by 348% year on year, and is set to rise further, with sales of tablets predicted to reach 119m in 2012.

Have no mistake, this is a sea change.
Personally, I bought my iPad as a toy and have ended up using it for business and shopping. My laptop is nearly redundant.
Great infograph, I wonder what will be next though. As technology is evolving so rapidly, I'm pretty sure we will soon be optimizing our marketing and websites for Google Glasses and derivatives.

I use my PC/Laptop for (ergonomic) gaming and editing photos.
These are two things mobile devices do not tend to excel in..
I'm analysing traffic by device on a regular basis for my clients and always recommend creating a mobile version of their site or at least ensuring their site functions effectively on mobile devices where they get a significant level of traffic from them. If they're getting the traffic already they should definitely be looking to give that traffic the chance of converting by ensuring their site is suitable. It's also impacted how I structure my AdWords accounts in a huge way. I used to wait to see if there was much traffic from tablets before setting up specific campaigns for them but now I set them up as standard at the start of a project. The CPC is generally a lot lower and I've seen great results with it.
Retailers, brands and marketers can leverage shoppers' tablet use by sending them customized messaging, engaging them, learning what they want to buy, guiding the purchase decision, and closing the sale #SoLoMo

Critics of 50-year exemption to salmon rules say pact 'predecided'
Tuesday, May 9, 2006
By ROBERT MCCLURE
For years, timber companies and the government have debated environmental groups and Indian tribes over whether Washington's timber industry should get 50 years of protection from Endangered Species Act prosecutions for harming salmon.
The debate was required under a federal law meant to give the public a chance to speak out before the government makes a major environmental decision.
But now environmentalists are charging -- based on an admission in a recent letter by Washington's elected lands commissioner, Doug Sutherland -- that the whole thing looks as if it was a foregone conclusion. That flies in the face of a federal law designed to give close environmental review to federal actions, they contend.
Sutherland wrote that the mind-set of all involved was "a deal is a deal and this is about memorializing the deal."
"Sutherland's letter confirms the deal was the deal, and only now are they doing environmental review years later," said Paul Kampmeier, an attorney with the Washington Forest Law Center in Seattle. "That makes it look to us like they're using environmental review as a rubber stamp for the decision they've already made."
Not so, say the federal agencies that are about to issue a decision. They are widely expected to bless the 50-year exemption.
"Within the culture of the (U.S) Fish and Wildlife Service, there is a very strong taboo on what we call predecisional, which is making a decision before the final decision," agency spokesman Doug Zimmer said. "It's counterculture to the biological staff, which is 99 percent of the agency, to do that. ... It's so inbred in these guys that it's a taboo."
The proposed 50-year exemption would cover 9 million acres of private forestland -- about one-fifth of Washington. It would be the second-largest such deal in the country.
In addition to protecting timber companies, it would give legal shelter to the state, which permits logging that can harm the fish in many ways, such as allowing streams to heat up too much to be healthy for salmon.
In return, timber companies promised to leave trees standing alongside some streams, to fix forest roads that smother streams in clouds of dirt and open up salmon spawning habitat previously blocked by roads
The deal was worked out in 1999 among federal wildlife agencies, the state government, the timber industry and some Indian tribes. The Legislature blessed the deal.
In the document that embodies the pact, the first two authors listed are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service -- both of which are now being asked to approve the deal. The agencies and others agreed to "use all reasonable efforts to" put it into effect.
Yet the National Environmental Policy Act requires federal agencies to "study, develop, and describe appropriate alternatives to recommended courses of action."
Environmentalists have long complained that because the federal agencies helped write the pact, their approval is certain.
At the request of Gov. Gary Locke, Sutherland's Department of Natural Resources in 2003 took on the task of securing the no-prosecution assurances.
In coming weeks, the deal -- known as a "habitat conservation plan" -- is expected to be approved by the federal agencies. Bob Lohn, Northwest regional administrator for the federal fisheries service, said he takes "great exception" to the idea that the deal already is done.
"I don't know if Doug Sutherland was speaking for his agency or the state, but remember in that letter he certainly does not speak for us," Lohn said.
Lohn said his agency and the wildlife service prepared an environmental impact statement that "wasn't just to grease the slide to put a permit in place. It was a step back, a hard look at what we had agreed to" in 1999.
Even now, he said, the agencies reserve the right to put conditions on their approval. Those conditions would be announced when the deal is made final, probably early next month.
Mary Scurlock of the Pacific Rivers Council said this is only the latest example of how the public usually isn't told of the terms of a habitat conservation plan until its terms are agreed to by the government and the party seeking the Endangered Species Act protection.
"The agency doesn't technically come out and say, 'This is what we're going to do,'" Scurlock said. "The reality has always been that the deal is very much done by the time it goes out for public comment."
Sutherland's recent comments came in a letter he wrote to the state Executive Ethics Board on behalf of former DNR official Debora Munguia. She led a team formed to secure the federal protections for the state and timber industry, then went to work at the lobbying group representing Washington's big timber companies, sparking an ethics complaint.
"Based on the understanding of all those directly involved in the process that 'a deal is a deal, and this is about memorializing the deal,' there were no negotiations that resulted in a change to the rule or law that were not carried out by the Legislature itself in the full light of day," he wrote.
Sutherland wrote that what was negotiated by Munguia and others was wording, not the deal's substance.
Sutherland said in an interview his agency was merely carrying out the Legislature's orders.
"We were instructed by the Legislature to pursue the assurances based on statute," he said. "That discussion was through the legislative process."
1999: Federal fish and wildlife agencies enter agreement with Washington's timber industry, state government and some Indian tribes. The "Forests and Fish Report" requires timber companies to take steps to help salmon in exchange for protection against prosecution under the Endangered Species Act when their activities harm protected salmon. Over environmentalists' objections, Legislature approves deal.
2001: Washington Forest Practices Board tightens state logging restrictions to conform to Forests and Fish Report.
2003: Gov. Gary Locke and Lands Commissioner Doug Sutherland agree that Sutherland's Department of Natural Resources will manage process of securing the protection against prosecution from the federal government.
2003-06: Series of meetings and comment periods held to allow public to comment on provisions of the deal.
April 17, 2006: Sutherland letter says understanding of all involved was "a deal is a deal, and this is about memorializing the deal."
June 2006: Approval expected by federal agencies.

A Quick Guide To Finding The Home Exchange Property For You
If your job entails frequent traveling, home exchange is an affordable and comfortable way of finding a home for a few weeks. You negotiate with another family to stay in their house while they stay in your house. Such practice can give you boundless options. Here we will look at how you can find the right home exchange property.
There are various kinds of home swapping practices you can consider. In the traditional, the exchange partner goes on a trip and stays in their primary residence. For those who occupy several homes, non-simultaneous exchanges frees them from worrying about arranging dates and traveling simultaneously. Here exchange partners occupy a vacation home while the other family continues to reside in their own home. In hospitality exchange, the exchange partners alternate as guests in their respective homes.
If your target is a specific destination, you can succeed in finding the right property if you would work with an agency based on the area you are considering. You are more likely to find an available house than looking for one in a global network. For example, Home Base Holidays if you plan to trade houses in the U.K. or Aussie House Swap if you are going to Australia or New Zealand.
However, home swapping is not suitable for everyone. Some people like to swap and does it several times in a year because it offers them the opportunity to travel to new places without spending for hotels, restaurants, or transportation costs. Likewise, this can also give you an opportunity to integrate the culture of the local community, since the practice involves providing information about the area and introduction of newcomers to neighbors or friends.
For some people, however, they feel awkward or uncomfortable cooking or cleaning during their vacation. Others do not like strangers staying in their homes. Bear in mind that arranging home swaps can be easy or difficult depending on the location of your property. If your home is located in the city, it is unlikely that you will trade your home on the outskirts of the country, unless there is a valid reason.
On the other hand, if your place is located in a popular destination such as Orlando or Manhattan, it provides you with a wide range of options. If you live in a remote area, it is still possible to swap your home. However, you will need to exert a little more effort.
Home trade is suitable for slow travelers who will travel for a short period of time. It is ideal if your length of stay is from one day to four weeks. Ideally, this is for those who are going on a trip for one day of for the weekend. The host partner will do the introductions to friends and the community. This can give you an assurance of security and likewise makes you comfortable in unfamiliar territory, and can help you immediately immerse yourself in the culture of the community where you are staying.
However, just like vacation rentals, swapping homes is a do-it-yourself endeavor unless there are maids at hand. One disadvantage of home trade is that your options can be limited and you have to be open minded in the choice of date, location, or property. Home exchange is more affordable than staying in a hotel room.

Daley Blind says he is happy to play at centre-back so long as it means he is playing for Manchester United.
The Holland international played alongside Chris Smalling in the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur. He was far from convincing at times, but Blind eventually helped the Red Devils towards a clean sheet in a narrow 1-0 win.
Fans and pundits were quick to criticise the Dutchman's performance with many suggesting he is not good enough to act as back-up to Marcos Rojo.

But despite a far from perfect performance at Old Trafford, Blind says he is happy to continue playing a centre-back, especially if the alternative is wasting away on the bench.
Answering his critics, Blind accepts that he may not have the physicality of your typical defender, but insists that what he is lacking in stature, he makes up for with intelligence.
He told MUTV: "I've said many times before that I just want to play.
"If you see what everyone can add to the team, then it's a real battle for places and everyone had to fight for a position.
"I got a chance on this occasion and I tried my best. Of course, people always say I don't have the height or the power but I think I'm clever enough and smart enough."
Back to the bench?
Rojo, who returned late for pre-season after competing in the Copa America, is expected to come back into the team once he regains his match fitness, but Blind will be given another chance to impress against Aston Villa on Friday.
Talking up his game ahead of the trip to Villa Park, Blind says that he success at keeping Tottenham's Harry Kane quiet is proof that the current back four, including Smalling, Luke Shaw and Matteo Darmian, could be Louis van Gaal's first choice.
He said of Kane: "If you see our opponent, he's very good. He wins a lot of headers and duels in the striking position so it's not only about power and force.
"I think we did well at the back, together with Chris, Luke and Matteo and we get a clean sheet so I was happy."
Is Daley Blind good enough to play at centre-back for Manchester United?

I adore coconut, long before it became fashionable by the healthy crew, I was eating coconuts (desiccated, coconut cream and drinking coconut water) in various form, by the bucket load. I am always looking at ways to in-cooperate some of my favourite ingredients into well-known dishes and this double coconut cheesecake is no exception. Alongside loving to eat coconut, I have recently become fond of cheesecakes. For years, I was a cake girl, but I realised how ridiculously quick, delicious and easy cheesecakes are to make. I have a double hit of coconut in this cheesecake from the biscuits and the filling – I was tempted to add another coconut element but stopped short on this, because English berries, which I love, are in season. My double coconut no-bake cheesecake with berries gives you a taste of the exotic with a hint of the wonderful British Summer. Absolutely delicious.
You will need a 9-inch spring form tin and a food processor
For the base
400g coconut biscuits (I use Foxes)
150g unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
600g cream cheese (full fat)
1tbsp vanilla essence
60g caster sugar
40g desiccated coconut
For the Topping
180 g raspberries
100g strawberries (sliced or whole, your choice)
Maple syrup, for drizzling.
Blitz the breadcrumbs in the food processor until the biscuits resemble breadcrumbs. Once blitzed add this in a mixing bowl and pour the melted butter over the blitz biscuits. Stir the blitz biscuits and butter with a wooden spoon until everything is fully combined. Transfer the biscuit butter mixture to the spring form tin and press down. Pop this in the fridge for an hour to let the base firm up.
In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, caster sugar, vanilla essence and desiccated coconut, stir using a wooden spoon until everything is mixed together. Pour the filling onto the chilled biscuit base and spread evenly using a palette knife. Pop this into the fridge for at least 4 hours so the filling can set, ideally overnight.
Once the filling has set, top with the berries and drizzle with maple syrup.

This weekend, audiences across America will begin applauding Invictus. The Clint Eastwood-directed film stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela on a quest to rally post-apartheid South Africans around the Springboks, the national rugby team so many had grown to see as the symbol of racial privilege. To do so, Mandela employs the aid of team star Francois Pienaar (played by Matt Damon), who must convince his teammates that they represent black South Africans as well as whites and then show his countrymen the same as they fight to win the 1995 World Cup. It's perhaps one of the more uplifting moments in both sports and geopolitical history, and critics already are hailing it as one of the most important films ever made about South Africa.
Integral to its creation was screenwriter Anthony Peckham, who was born and raised in South Africa but now lives near Morro Bay because he's "sort of a country bumpkin at heart." Self-described with a laugh as a "25-year overnight success," Peckham is riding a rather impressive wave of accomplishments right now, as he also helped pen the forthcoming Sherlock Holmes film and recently was hired to work on Deep Sea Cowboys. But he had a few spare minutes to chat with The Independent about Invictus, which will be screened on December 16 as part of the S.B. County Action Network's S.B. Cannes series and followed by a panel discussion about the importance of youth sports in underserved communities.
How did you get involved with the film? A producer I've worked with before, Mace Neufeld, brought me John Carlin's book proposal. John Carlin wrote the book about this event and I loved it immediately, at least because I was born in and grew up in South Africa. I left long before this event, but it touched me immediately. So we took it to Morgan Freeman, who basically is the only American actor who can play Mandela of that vintage. We didn't know that they had seen the proposal and were looking for ways to get into it. It was a very happy circumstance. I told them my angle into the story and they paid me to write it. This makes it sound simpler than it was, but they gave my second draft to Clint Eastwood, because Morgan had been trying to get Clint to direct him in a movie, and Clint said yes. Once Clint Eastwood says yes, then all doors open before you.
When did you leave South Africa? Long ago, in 1981. I left in the darkest days of apartheid and basically because of apartheid. I didn't know who Nelson Mandela was because he was a banned person back then. No image of him could be published and you could even be arrested for talking about him. It was a really draconian police state. All we knew was what the government told us, that he was the devil. I had to start learning about him once I left South Africa. I was 22.
How was writing about Nelson Mandela? It was very powerful. In a way, it allowed me to sort of revisit an incomplete part of my past and complete it, and to give back something to a country I love. So it was very powerful and very emotional writing it, which I hope will show up in the film. It was profound in a way that none of the other writing jobs I've had were profound.
