Psychology graduate Justin Pemberton's screen persona can be split into two. His documentary work includes two Qantas award-winners: motor-racing story Love, Speed and Loss and 2007's The Nuclear Comeback, plus acclaimed Kiwi Olympic saga The Golden Hour. He has also worked on many music projects, from the video for Bic Runga hit Drive to documentaries on the NZSO and Anika Moa.
Its makers deserve gold medals ... this was our Chariots of Fire. Just hope they show it to the team in London. Russell Baillie reviewing The Golden Hour, The NZ Herald 26 July 2012
This feature documentary follows All Black Richie McCaw on his 2015 quest to become the first skipper to defend the Webb Ellis Cup. Directors Justin Pemberton (The Golden Hour) and Michelle Walshe were given unprecedented access to the subject to create a portrait of McCaw the person, and chronicle the psychology of achievement in international sport. McCaw saw the chance to "inspire some young kids" as the reason to take part, and end his policy of keeping "the private stuff private". The film's opening day set an NZ record for a local doco; in its first week, it beat all competition.
The Five Eyes spy network was set up after WWll to monitor and share intelligence between the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and NZ. According to this interactive documentary, the network sought a new justification for its existence after the Soviet Union's collapse, and found it in digital communications. Narrated by Lucy Lawless, I Spy aims to inform viewers about just what their local intelligence agencies are up to. Interviewees include journalist Nicky Hager and former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden. I Spy was funded by a joint Canadian-NZ Digital Media Fund.
Tickled sounds like a comedy, but the film traces a path from quirky to the stuff of fear, mystery and intimidation. The documentary began when then TV3 reporter David Farrier saw a cash offer for athletes to fly to Los Angeles for 'Competitive Endurance Tickling'. Farrier and co-director Dylan Reeve headed to the United States, and found ticklers scared to go on camera — and threats from those behind the scenes. At the 2016 Sundance Film Festival Tickled quickly won rave reviews and sales; Vogue and The Hollywood Reporter named it one of 2016's ten best documentaries.
This documentary tells the story of NZ sport's 'golden hour', when on 2 September 1960 in Rome, two Arthur Lydiard-coached running men won Olympic gold: 21-year-old Peter Snell in the 800m, and Murray Halberg in the 5000m shortly after. The outlier triumph tale mixes archive footage with recreations and candid interviews (Halberg's battle with disability and doubt is poignant). NZ Herald critic Russell Baillie praised the result as "riveting" and "our Chariots of Fire". It screened on TV prior to London 2012 and was nominated for a 2013 International Emmy Award.
Frequent collaborators singer Anika Moa and director Justin Pemberton cross paths again for the music video of Moa's 'Standing in this Fire' from her 2008 album In Swings the Tide, her first, slightly countrified album for EMI. In a tastefully furnished room, Moa wakes in a bed of chocolate satin sheets only to find the day is nearly done for her and the mysterious bedmate sleeping next to her. Moa exhorts her lover, "please don't be mean to me 'cos I really tried ...", before stripping the duvet off the relationship to see what's underneath.
Love, Speed and Loss is an extended documentary about racer Kim Newcombe, who turned heads in the 70s on a König motorbike he developed and designed himself. Built around home movie footage and interviews with his charismatic, straight-talking widow Janeen, the film follows the couple's travels across Europe, and triumph on the track. Newcombe was killed racing in 1973, and posthumously finished second in that year's World 500cc Championship. Love, Speed and Loss won best documentary at the 2007 Qantas TV Awards and Air NZ Screen gongs for documentary, directing, and editing.
This Anika Moa video puts the drama of her early rise in a nutshell; after being signed to Atlantic, the American label flew a director down to New Zealand to monitor proceedings, and ensure that the singer looked as slim on screen as possible. The video sees Moa lusting after every male she passes, singing beside some rugby posts, and taking a ride in a taxi driven by actor Antony Starr (Outrageous Fortune). As for Moa, she soon returned home from the US; the local top five hit ended up on the soundtrack of Catherine Zeta-Jones/Julia Roberts romance America's Sweethearts.
The Shipwreck series told dramatic stories of mystery, heroism and tragedy at sea while exploring eleven of the notable shipwrecks in NZ's maritime history. In each episode tales of buried treasure, massacre, death and survival are evocatively retold, and presented by actor Paul Gittins. Wreck stories included The Boyd, The Orpheus and The Ariadne. This Greenstone Pictures production won Best Information Programme at the 2000 Qantas Media Awards.
When Bic Runga broke out in 1996, 'Drive' was the lead single from her hit album of the same name. Opting to stay with the simplicity of her original demo clearly paid off: the song earned then 20-year-old Runga the 1996 APRA Silver Scroll Songwriting Award. Director Justin Pemberton wisely creates a video that matches the song. Alternating black and white with colour provides a moody feel without drawing attention to itself, leaving Runga to deliver a delicate performance on a song that would have a major impact on her career.
Director Justin Pemberton takes this love song by Paul Casserly and Fiona McDonald (from fourth Strawpeople album Vicarious) and transforms it into an exercise in noir influenced, brooding unease. His video takes place over a night at a rural motel (with McDonald as a receptionist, and Casserly up to no good with a range of medical equipment). A tarot card-reading, yoga-practising new-ager, a traveller with unexplained cages, and random appearances from stringed instrument-playing senior citizens contribute to the growing sense of disquiet.
Kiwi music show Music Nation introduced young presenter Bic Runga to the nation, shortly before she took her microphone skills in another direction. In this debut episode, the show's 'field reporter' Ian Hughes (aka Hugh Sundae) interviews winners at the 31st NZ Music Awards, while Runga introduces many of the accompanying videos. There are double helpings of Supergroove, who took away five awards on the night, and Che Fu sings a thank you speech a cappella. But there are murmurs of discontent over Purest Form taking the public vote for best single.
Long before the website of the same name, Music Nation was a mid 90s television show devoted to Kiwi music. Hosted by Hugh Sundae and Bic Runga — shortly before Runga's debut album Drive conquered the nation — the show mixed video clips and interviews. Modelled loosely on legendary Sunday night music show Radio With Pictures, Music Nation was produced by former RWP hosts Karyn Hay and Richard Driver. Two seasons, each running 13 episodes, went to air.
Condemned as "designer news" before it had even been to air, Newsnight was TV2's foray into late night news for a younger audience (with one eye on the success of TV3's Nightline). Strongly influenced by the celebrity and human interest focus of women's magazines, it received an unsuccessful BSA complaint for not covering a major story (a teacher's strike). Simon Dallow made his TV debut alongside Lorelei Mason and then Alison Mau — while Marcus Lush's idiosyncratic take on the world earned the show a degree of cult (if not always critical) success.

Rojo hints at Man Utd move
Argentina defender Marcos Rojo has suggested his move to Manchester United is imminent, describing it as a 'dream' to play for the Old Trafford club.
The Sporting Lisbon player has emerged as a key target for United manager Louis van Gaal, with reports suggesting United will pay £16million for Rojo while sending Portuguese winger Nani back to his former club on a one-year loan deal.
In an interview with the radio station Continental in his homeland, quoted in several national newspapers, Rojo said: "It's a dream to play at Manchester United and I am very proud of having the chance of working with [Louis] van Gaal.
Marcos Rojo has hinted that he is set to join Manchester United
"I spoke with Juan Sebastian Veron about Manchester United when we were at Estudiantes. I have always liked English football, and I should adapt to this new playing style easily."
United's move for Rojo has been complicated by a row between Sporting and his a third-party ownership group, while the 24-year-old player upset his employers by initially refusing to train in a bid to push through the deal, although he later apologised and returned to work.
"There was a misunderstanding, I never wanted to do something wrong at Sporting as I have always been very thankful to that team that gave me many chances for playing in Europe," Rojo said.
"If I made a mistake, I have already apologised because I didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone at the club."

First we had Cowboys & Aliens, and now the undead (and the Romans) are getting into the mashup mix. Meet: Zombies vs. Gladiators. Though it may sound like a B-movie concept, a horror icon has taken the helm of this one and could actually make this a shambling good time.
Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Lord of Illusions) is the man bringing this flick together—he's just signed on to direct and rewrite the script for Zombies vs. Gladiators for Amazon, the megalith online retailer that's just getting into the movie business. The project is one of 16 coming out of Amazon Studios, which is using public submissions and feedback to craft potential film concepts.
According to Deadline, the film will kick off when "a shaman about to die in the Coliseum casts a spell that rouses history's first wave of zombies. It's up to a gladiator to stop the spread of the zombie horde and save Rome."
Ludicrous? Yes. Potentially awesome? Absolutely.
Sound off: Do you think Amazon's found a winner with Zombies vs. Gladiators? Do you think it'll get made before the eternally damned Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?

SOUTH PLAINFIELD – Authorities were continuing to investigate a Thursday morning house fire in which five people died, Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan and Chief James Parker of the South Plainfield Police Department announced yesterday evening.
Four others were treated for injuries suffered in the fire at a two-family home at 1407-1409 Clinton Avenue in South Plainfield, and one family member remained hospitalized.
In addition, two volunteer firefighters were treated for minor injuries they sustained in a two-vehicle crash while en route to the fire.
Police and volunteer firefighters received a call at 3:09 a.m. on Feb. 23 and went to the scene of the fire, which apparently was contained to 1407 Clinton Avenue, where the nine family members resided.
Investigators were working at this time to confirm the identities of those who died, and were awaiting reports by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner's Office on the causes of death. The autopsies are scheduled to be performed today.
According to an NJ.com report, relatives identified the victims as Ann Jefferson, 62; Alizae, 12; Tyler Davis, 7; Chris, 5 or 6 years old; and Elijah Taylor.
The American Red Cross is currently helping a family of three, two adults and one child, who were displaced them their Clinton Avenue home by the fire. Two members of the Red Cross Disaster Action Team responded to a call to assist the family Thursday afternoon. After meeting with the family to determine their immediate needs, temporary lodging and emergency assistance for food and clothing, as well as comfort kits containing toiletries, were provided.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by members of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and the South Plainfield Police Department.

SwimSpray to Sponsor Florida Swim Network's Coverage of Arena's Orlando Grand Prix
Feb 13, 2013, 05:21 EST
ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- This Valentine's Day weekend, many of the fastest swimmers in the world will dive into the chlorinated waters of the YMCA Aquatic Center in Orlando, Florida for Arena's Grand Prix swimming competition. The 3-day competition will feature some of the biggest names in swimming including Ryan Lochte, Dana Vollmer, and Missy Franklin.
Of the entire competition, USA Swimming's Mike Gustafson has identified 5 races deserving special attention: (1) Missy Franklin vs. Olivia Smoliga in the 100 backstroke; (2) 15-year-old Becca Mann seeded top 7 in six events; (3) Josh Schneider vs. Anthony Ervin in the 50 freestyle; (4) Floridians Ryan Lochte and Conor Dwyer racing in front of local fans; and (5) the return of world record holder Dana Vollmer to major competition.
The YMCA Aquatic Center on International Drive consists of a 50 meter by 25 yard natatorium, a separate 25 meter by 25 yard diving well, and a 25 yard teaching pool. The competition pool is an old pool but it's also considered a fast pool. USA Swimming has held both Junior and Senior Nationals in the YMCA Aquatic Center. And many world records have been set there.
While many swimmers from Florida and throughout the country know about the pool's speed, few know about the pool's troubled history. Built in 1985 as a covered alternative to nearby pools, such as the International Swimming Hall of Fame, the facility was originally named the Justus Aquatic Center.
Developers hoped the facility would stand out in Florida because it featured the first of its kind hydraulically retractable roof, providing an outdoor swimming experience while allowing protection from unpredictable Florida weather. It was conceived as a joint venture with the attached hotel - to be the first aquatic-hotel complex. The project almost immediately faced financial and operational issues.
During its first seven years, the pool was shuttered several times and almost demolished to expand the adjacent hotel's parking lot. Then, in 1992, the pool was separated from the hotel and donated to the YMCA.
This year, the Florida Swim Network's coverage of the Grand Prix is sponsored by SwimSpray, LLC, a new swimmer's haircare and skincare company. According to numerous product reviews, using SwimSpray also eliminates the chlorine smell from swimmers' bodies--something potentially relevant at this Valentine's Day swim meet.

The boys from Facebook are back today, pushing out a quick incremental update for Android that appears to fix multiple bugs and even improve performance. We've seen and heard the "improve performance" comment in the past so decided to quickly update and give it a try.
Facebook didn't reveal much about the update, so it must have been rather small. The "what's new" area only states "improved performance and various bug fixes." Pretty vague change log for something as huge as Facebook. Either it really was that small of an update or they didn't do enough to warrant saying so. I was hoping for a larger change log myself.
Looking through the comments (which are always brutal and critical of Facebook) it doesn't look like performance has been improved in the slightest. I don't know about you guys but I rarely use Facebook and when I do, I'm not all that impressed with the mobile version. They could learn a thing or two from Google's latest Google+ app. Can we really blame Facebook for having a slow app when it comes do data? They do have like 1 billion users or so now. Just a thought.

Hi, guys! Welcome to my stop on the Capture by Rachel Van Dyken blog tour, which is hosted by the amazing Inkslinger PR. This book was such a great read, and is a standalone novel. It is the beginning of a brand new series and does not end in a cliffhanger. There are characters from the Seaside Series who make an appearance but this story is not a continuation from the Seaside series. Below, you'll find my review of it along with some teasers!
Release Date: August 20, 2015
Losing your ability to speak at the age of seventeen; it's not normal or fair.
But trauma, has a way of throwing normality out the window.
Dani lives anything but a normal life.
Her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Her best friends are rockstar duo AD2.
And she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime.
But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead.
Or that it's her fault.
It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside.
That is until Hollywood's newest heartthrob Lincoln Greene hires her as his assistant for the summer. He's gorgeous, completely unavailable, and unobtainable.
But that doesn't stop her from wondering...if things were different...would he want her?
If she was whole, would he be the other half?
My Thoughts:
This will be my second Rachel Van Dyken book, and I loved it just as much as I did the first one, if not more. Capture is such a sweet, funny and heart-warming book that I couldn't put it down. It delves into one of the most sensitive and impacting things anyone can experience and deal with and what society think of it.
After the death of both of her parents, Dani becomes a selective mute, not uttering a word in months, ridden with guilt, thinking she was the cause for the death of her parents. When her famous sister and equally famous husband get her a job as an assistant to Hollywood heartthrob Lincoln Greene, she start thinking of what would happen if they had met before the accident that took her parents, back when she was normal.
I loved this book. Capture captured me from the first page, drawing me into Dani's pain as she struggled with guilt and shame and feeling far from normal. Lincoln is dealing with pain too, only his is buried deep and he masks it behind bright smiles and jokes. I loved the fact that he isn't like every other famous actor in other books. He didn't party hard, he didn't have a bad boy reputation and he wasn't the silent and brooding type. He was a nice guy and one of the few I like since I usually adore the mean bad boys. He was very real, and he made me swoon so much. He made me laugh too. The roles were almost reversed in Capture, with Dani being the sarcastic and brooding character while Lincoln was the bubbly and funny guy who tried to save her. Together, they made for a very sweet and cute couple that I just loved. There were also moments that made my heart ache for them both and for what they suffered in life.
I felt like time was flying while I read this book. I devoured it in a few hours and I wanted more when I hit the last page and couldn't find more words to read. From the main characters to the secondary ones and to the fast pacing of the book, everything just floated and came together to make an amazing read that is both perfect as a summer read and for when you're looking for a book with a deeper meaning and emotions. I absolutely loved this book, and now I'm going to read the Seaside series because I fell in love with the secondary characters too and even though I know so much about how their lives turned out to be, I'm very excited to read how it all started. Then there is Zane, my favourite secondary character and the guy I'm dying to read the story of. I have an idea it's going to be heart-breaking and make me cry, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

BRADENTON — The Bradenton Police Department reported a woman was seriously injured after she was shoved from a vehicle, which then ran over her foot at about 5:40 p.m. Sunday in the 1700 block of 13th Street West.
BPD reported the victim and suspect were arguing when the suspect shoved the victim out of the vehicle and backed out of the driveway running over the victim. The suspect reportedly fled followed by a witness.
The victim was taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital and was reportedly uncooperative.
The unidentified suspect was later arrested for leaving the scene of a accident with injury, aggravated battery with a motor vehicle, no valid driver's license and DUI.

Concert Review: Brian Wilson
Indeed. And the Los Angeles audience was treated to a two-hour soundtrack of the city from its main musical hero, highlighted -- yes, highlighted -- by a new half-hour-plus song suite that's as effective as anything Wilson has created in decades.
The show began with 20 quick hits from the Beach Boys' days in the sun, ranging from the biggest singles ("California Girls," "I Get Around") to seldom-heard chestnuts ("Salt Lake City," "The Little Girl I Once Knew"). The rush of nostalgia was intensified by the 10-piece band's sheer musicality, which enveloped the room.
The players deployed a wealth of traditionally nonrock instruments: xylophone, French horn, ukulele, bells. Many of the lesser-used ones were dusted off for a "Heroes and Villains" rave-up.
Wilson's voice has retained a youthful quality, though the decades passed are clearly present. He sang lead on most of the songs and punctuated several lyrics with gestures -- like a scribbling motion as he sang "girl don't tell me you'll write." There were a few stories behind the songs and some grin-inducing patter. Introducing "Do You Wanna Dance?" he said, "The is the part where we see who's willing to get off their ass." Many did.
Returning after an intermission, Wilson announced that the band would be playing his 2008 album "That Lucky Old Sun" in its entirety. "All I can say is that we worked our behinds off to get this ready for you," he said, "so you better like it!"
The album is a romantic postcard of and to L.A. and its people, places and vibe. But it's also an intensely personal piece that plays out as part joyful expression, part therapy session. It's nostalgic but not maudlin, evocative of vintage Beach Boys but not derivative.
And it's good.
Sure, there are some rudimentary rhymes ("muchacha" and "I want ya") and portions that hew too closely to Wilson '60s glory days; the flowing "Live Let Live," for example, cops its title refrain from "Sail on Sailor." But the melodies, instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make the record 38 minutes well spent. And the performance brought it to life.
"Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl," a paean to a first love in the summer of '61, seems aimed at Wilson's then-nascent band, not some bushy-haired blonde in T-shirt and cutoffs. And there's a palpable sadness to "Midnight's Another Day," in which he misses his bandmate brothers. "When there's no morning without the 'u'/There's only darkness the whole day through," he sang. But there's light at the end of the song, and it drew a standing ovation.
Interspersed among the songs in "That Lucky Old Sun" are reprises of the title track and spoken narratives by "Pet Sounds" collaborator Van Dyke Parks. The ambitious project has a keen cohesion, and its presentation further cemented Wilson's place among rock royalty. Here's hoping there are a few more rides before this Beach Boy's creative tide ebbs.

The courses at the University are in a word: Fantastic. The class sizes are of course small in comparison to a larger University but its not necessarily the size that accounts for the quality of the education. The professors are the one's who make a University worth while. The professors push their students into far more advanced classes knowing full well that they are capable of rising to the challenge. The variety of courses are also comparatively great and it helps that they all flow together with ideals and morals at their backbone.

X-Men Forever #15
- Story by
- Chris Claremont
- Art by
- Al Vey, Gary Martin, Terry Pallot, and Tom Grummett
- Colors by
- Wil Quintana
- Letters by
- Tom Orzechowski
- Cover by
- Tom Grummett
- Publisher

"X-Men Forever" has veered wildly away from its premise, unless you believe that Chris Claremont always intended to reveal the adult "Storm" as a traitor and then become Queen of Wakanda, eerily approximating Marvel's current situation for the character. Though, in this instance, she has stolen the throne, rather than married in as Queen. Still, let's not let a minor quibble about the book's premise get in the way of its content. After all, "X-Men Forever" has been, against the odds, pretty good fun. And this issue demonstrates pretty much exactly why.
The issue flashes back to the escape of the rather excruciatingly-named "Perfect Storm" at the end of the first arc, catching up with her adventures in Wakanda over the last few months. It's an interesting insight into the psychology of the villainess, particularly since there's a point where even we are won over by her apparently genuine feelings, only to find ourselves as betrayed as the characters in the story. Ordinarily, this would be a difficult trick to pull off, but between this new Storm's still-fluid characterization and Claremont's use of omniscient narrative captions, the wool is pulled quite convincingly over the reader's eyes.
Claremont also makes good use of the single-issue, bi-weekly format to tell a story that neglects the rest of the X-Men. It's odd for an issue of an ongoing to feature a series villain, with supporting cast member as the only concession to its premise, but both the speedy pace of the series and the way Claremont expands the "Forever" universe makes it clear that it's the sort of experiment that'll work once in a while. To be honest, that probably is the kind of thing Claremont might have done, back in the day, and it's nice to see that unpredictability return.
Tom Grummett's artwork is particularly solid, always working in service of the story rather than at odds with it, an often underrated quality in comic artists. In fairness, this comes at the lack of a clear visual identity, and Grummett's work is so faithful to Claremont's often crowded and pacey scripts that it occasionally struggles to keep up, becoming a little disjointed and hurried itself, but rarely can any other criticism be levelled against it.
All in all, one suspects that "X-Men Forever" will never make it beyond its core audience of X-Men nostalgists and become anything resembling an essential comic, but for all the faults with its reason for existing, you can't fault its consistent quality. It isn't Claremont at his best, but nor is it Claremont at his worst; Somewhere in the middle ground is an entertaining, if not flawless storyteller.

CINCINNATI — Ted Lilly pitched seven impressive innings in his Cubs debut, leading Chicago to a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on a snowy Wednesday night.
Lilly allowed only three singles and struck out nine on a blustery night, puffing into his cupped left hand between pitches to keep the feeling in his fingertips. Lilly was a key part of the Cubs' offseason spending spree, getting a four-year, $40 million deal.

Yorkville Wrestling Club continues to rise in Illinois as a club with ELITE wrestlers as well as high participation rates.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Grind the pork butt twice through a meat grinder with a large die and form into four 8-ounce patties. Sprinkle the patties generously with the Brown Sugar Rub and grill to desired temperature (we recommend medium or pink in the center). Top with smoked Cheddar and melt it with your grill closed. Cut the hot links in half and split down the center. Grill on both sides until crispy. To assemble the sandwich, spread the bottom bun with the South Carolina Mayo and top with pickled chiles and Maple Bacon. Next, add the pork patty and then top with the split hot link. We serve our hand-cut fries on the side, but the sandwich is great with potato salad, chips or anything else.
Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, black pepper and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Cover tightly and leave out at room temperature.
Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Let sit overnight to develop flavor (we also use this sauce as a mustard based BBQ sauce without the mayo). Whisk together the sauce and mayonnaise and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use. Use any extra for sandwiches, dipping fried things in... really anything.
Combine the kosher salt, brown sugar and pink salt if smoking the bacon, and mix thoroughly. Then whisk in the maple syrup. Rub the cure over the entire pork belly and place in a zip-top bag (remove the air from the bag before sealing). Place in the refrigerator for 7 days, flipping the belly every day to balance out the cure. On the eighth day, remove the belly from the cure and rinse thoroughly. Then place in the refrigerator uncovered, preferably on a rack for better air flow. Leave overnight to dry and form a pellicle (the skin made from proteins that form on the surface to allow the smoke to penetrate the meat better). If you have a smoker, smoke the belly for 3 hours at 200 degrees F to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Remove from the smoker, cool and slice about 1/4-inch thick. If you do not have a smoker, put the belly on an oven rack for 3 hours at 200 degrees F and cook to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Then cool and slice about 1/4-inch thick. Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees F until brown and crispy. (Reserve the homemade bacon fat for tomorrow's breakfast.)

Susan Granger's review of 'The Legend of Hercules'
Inauspiciously dumped in January, Renny Harlin's sword-and-sandals epic will be forgotten by the time Brett Rattner's eagerly anticipated "Hercules," starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, opens in July.
One of the best-known figures in Greek mythology, the demi-god Hercules, son of the Olympian ruler Zeus and mortal Queen Alcmene, has been portrayed previously by musclemen like Steve Reeves and Lou Ferrigno. Now it's Kellan Lutz, best known as Bella's shirtless werewolf suitor in the "Twilight" series.
In this adaptation, Zeus' seed, which will become Hercules, is planted in the womb of Queen Alcmene (Roxanne McKee) as a gift from Zeus' wife Hera to defeat the tyrannical rule of Alcmene's cruel husband, Tirynthean King Amphitryon (Scott Adkins). Loathed by his stepfather and envied by his cowardly stepbrother, Prince Iphicles (Liam Garrigan), Prince Alcides/Hercules (Lutz) is eventually sent to war in Egypt, where he's ambushed and enslaved. That's so that Iphicles can inherit the kingdom and marry Crete's Princess Hebe (Gaia Weiss), who has publicly pledged her love to Alcides/Hercules. All of this is witnessed by the queen's elderly mentor, Chiron (Rade Serbedzija), and Alcides/Hercules' fellow soldier Sotiris (Liam McIntyre).
According to the classic legend, Hercules tackled 12 Great Labors, including fighting the nine-headed Hydra and the Cretan bull, along with capturing the Erymanthian Boar and stealing the Mares of Diomedes. Except for a brief and unimpressive skirmish with the fabled Nemean Lion, these tasks are inexplicably ignored by screenwriters Sean Hood and Daniel Giat, who have substituted, instead, a choppy, insipid, utterly predictable love story.
Director Harlin ("Driven," "Cutthroat Island") uses far too many slow-motion sequences and freeze frames in the countless fight scenes, along with Zack Snyder's "300" device of "speed ramping" (slowing down, then speeding up action). Even the computer-generated imagery is cheap and tacky. Except for McIntyre and Serbedzija, the acting is so ludicrous, it's laughable, particularly Lutz, who totally lacks charisma.

Current Uniform Acts
Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act
Page 3 of 4
Application of this Part
2. (1) In this Part, "court" means a court of [enacting province or territory].
(2) The territorial competence of a court is to be determined solely by reference to this Part.
Comments to section 2.
2.1. Part 2 is drafted so as to define the territorial competence of any court of the enacting jurisdiction. This may be subject to rules in any other statute that give a particular court a wider or narrower territorial competence than the rules in this Act (see section 12). The transfer provisions in Part 3 are drafted so as to apply only to the superior court of unlimited jurisdiction (see the note after the heading of Part 3).
2.2. Subsection 2(2) is intended to make it clear that a court's territorial competence is to be determined according to the rules in the Act and not according to any "common law" jurisdictional rules that the Act replaces.
2.3. The Act defines a court's territorial competence "in a proceeding" (section 3). It does not define the territorial aspects of any particular remedy. Thus the Act does not supersede common law rules about the territorial limits on a remedy, such as the rule that a Canadian court generally will not issue an injunction to restrain conduct outside the court's own province or territory.
2.4. The Act only defines territorial competence; it does not define subject matter competence. It is not intended to affect any rules limiting a Canadian court's jurisdiction by reference to the amount of a claim, the subject matter of a claim, or any other factor besides territorial connections.
Proceedings in personam
3. A court has territorial competence in a proceeding that is brought against a person only if
(a) that person is the plaintiff in another proceeding in the court to which the proceeding in question is a counterclaim,
(b) during the course of the proceeding that person submits to the court's jurisdiction,
(c) there is an agreement between the plaintiff and that person to the effect that the court has jurisdiction in the proceeding,
(d) that person is ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory] at the time of the commencement of the proceeding, or
(e) there is a real and substantial connection between [enacting province or territory] and the facts on which the proceeding against that person is based.
Comments to section 3.
3.1. Section 3 defines the five grounds on which a court has territorial competence in a proceeding in personam. Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) include the three ways in which the defendant may consent to the court's jurisdiction: by invoking the court's jurisdiction as plaintiff, by submitting to the court's jurisdiction during the proceedings, or by having agreed that the court shall have jurisdiction. These reflect long-standing law. Paragraphs (d) and (e) change current law, by replacing the criterion of service of process with the criterion of substantive connection with the enacting jurisdiction.
3.2. Paragraph (d) is effectively the replacement for the existing rule that a court has jurisdiction over any person that is served with process in the forum province or territory. Replacing service in the territory of the forum court with ordinary residence in that territory means that a person who is only temporarily in the jurisdiction will not automatically be subject to the court's jurisdiction. For a court to take jurisdiction over a person who is not ordinarily resident in its territory and does not consent to the court's jurisdiction, a real and substantial connection must exist within paragraph (e). The current rule, which (subject to arguments of forum non conveniens) permits a court to take jurisdiction on the basis of the defendant's presence alone, without any other connection between the forum and the litigation, will therefore no longer apply. This change in the existing rule is proposed not only on the ground of fairness, but also because the existing rule is of doubtful constitutional validity, since a defendant's mere presence in a province is probably not enough to support the constitutional authority of a province to assert judicial jurisdiction over the defendant.
3.3. Paragraph (e) replaces the existing rules, in the common law provinces, relating to service ex juris. Territorial competence will depend, not on whether a defendant can be served ex juris under rules of court, but on whether there is, substantively, a real and substantial connection between the enacting jurisdiction and the facts on which the proceeding in question is based. This provision would bring the law on jurisdiction into line with the concept of "properly restrained jurisdiction" that the Supreme Court of Canada, in Morguard Investments Ltd. v. De Savoye (1990), held was a precondition for the recognition and enforcement of a default judgment throughout Canada. The "real and substantial connection" criterion is therefore an essential complement to the uniform Enforcement of Canadian Judgments Act, which requires all Canadian judgments to be enforced without recourse to any jurisdictional test. The present Act, if adopted, will ensure that all judgments will satisfy the Supreme Court's criterion of "properly restrained" jurisdiction, which the court laid down as the indispensable requirement for a judgment to be entitled to recognition at common law throughout Canada.
3.4. If the present Act is adopted, rules of court will still include rules as to service of process, but these will no longer be the source and definition of the court's territorial competence. Their role will be restricted to ensuring that defendants, whether ordinarily resident in or outside the jurisdiction, receive proper notice of proceedings and a proper opportunity to be heard.
Proceedings with no nominate defendant
4. A court has territorial competence in a proceeding that is not brought against a person or a vessel if there is a real and substantial connection between [enacting province or territory] and the facts upon which the proceeding is based.
Comments to section 4.
4.1 This section deals with several miscellaneous actions where the proceedings are "technically in personam" but there is not, or is not yet an identified "persona" whose connection with the territory founds jurisdiction. In actions such as preliminary estate matters or correction of a corporate register, it is the proceeding rather than a nominal defendant which is the crucial factor. The section is broken out from the main section to emphasize this point.
Proceedings in rem
5. A court has territorial competence in a proceeding that is brought against a vessel if the vessel is served or arrested in [enacting province or territory].
Comments to section 5.
5.1 Section 5 codifies the existing rule that jurisdiction in an action in rem, which can be brought only against a vessel, depends upon the presence of the vessel within the jurisdiction. Actions in rem are primarily brought in the Federal Court under its admiralty jurisdiction, but concurrent jurisdiction over maritime matters exists in the courts of the provinces. [The wording was amended in 1995 - see 1995 Proceedings at page 43.]
Residual discretion
6. A court that under section 3 lacks territorial competence in a proceeding may hear the proceeding despite that section if it considers that
(a) there is no court outside [enacting province or territory] in which the plaintiff can commence the proceeding, or
(b) the commencement of the proceeding in a court outside [enactingprovince or territory] cannot reasonably be required.
Comments to section 6.
6.1 This section creates a residual discretion to act, notwithstanding the lack of jurisdiction under normal rules, provided that the conditions in (a) or (b) are met. Residual discretion permits the court to Act as a "forum of last resort" where there is no other forum in which the plaintiff could reasonably seek relief. The language tracks that of Article 3136 of the Quebec Civil Code.
See also note 10.3.
Ordinary residence - corporations
7. A corporation is ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory], for the purposes of this Part, only if
(a) the corporation has or is required by law to have a registered office in [enacting province of territory],
(b) pursuant to law, it
- (i) has registered an address in [enacting province or territory] at which process may be served generally, or
- (ii) has nominated an agent in [enacting province or territory] upon whom process may be served generally,
(d) its central management is exercised in [enacting province or territory].
Comments to section 7.
7.1. Sections 7, 8 and 9 define ordinary residence for corporations, partnerships and unincorporated associations. They reflect, with only minor modifications, the approach that is generally taken under existing law to decide whether these defendants are present in the jurisdiction for the purposes of service.
7.2. This Act contains no definition of ordinary residence for natural persons. This connecting factor is widely used in Canada (for example, as the jurisdictional criterion in the Divorce Act (Can.)), and has been judicially defined in numerous cases. It was felt that an express statutory definition would probably fail to match the existing concept and would therefore provide difficulty rather than certainty.
Ordinary residence - partnerships
8. A partnership is ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory], for the purposes of this Part, only if
(a) the partnership has, or is required by law to have, a registered office or business address in [enacting province or territory],
(b) it has a place of business in [enacting province or territory], or
(c) its central management is exercised in [enacting province or territory].
Comment to section 8.
8.1. See comment 7.1. Partnerships are both business entities and collections of individuals. This section defines the ordinary residence of a partnership in a business sense, is analogous to the section 5 provisions on corporations, and excludes territorial competence over the partnership based on the residence of an individual partner alone.
Ordinary residence - unincorporated associations
9. An unincorporated association is ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory] for the purposes of this Part, only if
(a) an officer of the association is ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory], or
(b) the association has a location in [enacting province or territory] for the purpose of conducting its activities.
Comment to section 9.
9.1. See comment 7.1.
Real and substantial connection
10. Without limiting the right of the plaintiff to prove other circumstances that constitute a real and substantial connection between [enacting province or territory] and the facts on which a proceeding is based, a real and substantial connection between [enacting province or territory] and those facts is presumed to exist if the proceeding
(a) is brought to enforce, assert, declare or determine proprietary or possessory rights or a security interest in immovable or movable property in [enacting province or territory],
(b) concerns the administration of the estate of a deceased person in relation to
- (i) immovable property of the deceased person in [enacting province or territory], or
- (ii) movable property anywhere of the deceased person if at the time of death he or she was ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory],
- (i) immovable or movable property in [enacting province or territory], or
- (ii) movable property anywhere of a deceased person who at the time of death was ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory],
- (i) the trust assets include immovable or movable property in [enacting province or territory] and the relief claimed is only as to that property;
- (ii) that trustee is ordinarily resident in [enacting province or territory];
- (iii) the administration of the trust is principally carried on in [enacting province or territory];
- (iv) by the express terms of a trust document, the trust is governed by the law of [enacting province or territory],
- (i) the contractual obligations, to a substantial extent, were to be performed in [enacting province or territory],
- (ii) by its express terms, the contract is governed by the law of [enacting province or territory], or
- (iii) the contract
(B) resulted from a solicitation of business in [enacting province or territory] by or on behalf of the seller,
(f) concerns restitutionary obligations that, to a substantial extent, arose in [enacting province or territory],
(g) concerns a tort committed in [enacting province or territory],
(h) concerns a business carried on in [enacting province or territory],
(i) is a claim for an injunction ordering a party to do or refrain from doing anything
- (i) in [enacting province or territory], or
- (ii) in relation to immovable or movable property in [enacting province or territory],
(k) is for enforcement of a judgment of a court made in or outside [enacting province or territory] or an arbitral award made in or outside [enacting province or territory], or
(l) is for the recovery of taxes or other indebtedness and is brought by the Crown [of the enacting province or territory] or by a local authority [of the enacting province or territory].
Comment to section 10.
10.1. The purpose of section 10 is to provide guidance to the meaning of "real and substantial connection" in paragraph 3(e). Instead of having to show in each case that a real and substantial connection exists, plaintiffs will be able, in the great majority of cases, to rely on one of the presumptions in section 10. These are based on the grounds for service ex juris in the rules of court of many provinces. If the defined connection with the enacting jurisdiction exists, it is presumed to be sufficient to establish territorial competence under paragraph 3(e).
10.2. A defendant will still have the right to rebut the presumption by showing that, in the facts of the particular case, the defined connection is not real and substantial. Conversely, a plaintiff whose claim does not fall within any of the paragraphs of section 10 will have the right to argue that the facts of the particular case do have a real and substantial connection with the enacting jurisdiction so as to give its courts territorial competence under paragraph 3(e). For example, a plaintiff may argue that the "place of contracting" is such a significant factor in a contract action that the forum in which the contract was formed should exercise territorial competence. In many cases, questions of validity and performance arise at the same time and are intermingled. In an appropriate case, where only the question of formal validity of a contract is an issue, it would open to the plaintiff to argue that the court should take jurisdiction even though the plaintiff cannot invoke the presumption set out for other factors.
10.3. One common ground for service ex juris is not found among the presumed real and substantial connections in section 10, namely, that the defendant is a necessary or proper party to an action brought against a person served in the jurisdiction. The reason is that such a rule would be out of place in provisions that are based, not on service, but on substantive connections between the proceeding and the enacting jurisdiction. If a plaintiff wishes to bring proceedings against two defendants, one of whom is ordinarily resident in the enacting jurisdiction and the other of whom is not, territorial competence over the first defendant will be present under paragraph 3(d). Territorial competence over the second defendant will not be presumed merely on the ground that that person is a necessary or proper party to the proceeding against the first person. The proceeding against the second person will have to meet the real and substantial connection test in paragraph 3(e).
Section 4.1, residual discretion, also provides a basis upon which jurisdiction can be exercised over a necessary and proper party who cannot be caught under the normal rules. A plaintiff seeking to bring in such a party would argue first, that there is a real and substantial connection between the territory and the party, or secondly that there is no other forum in which the plaintiff can or can reasonably be required to seek relief against that party.
10.4. Section 10 does not include any presumptions relating to proceedings concerned with family law. Since territorial competence in these proceedings is usually governed by special statutes, it was felt that express rules in section 10 would lead to confusion and uncertainty because they would often be at variance with the rules in those statutes, which may have priority by virtue of section 10. For this reason it was felt better to leave the matter of territorial competence for the special family law statutes. If the question of territorial competence in a particular family matter was not dealt with in a special statute, the general rules in section 3 of this Act, including ordinary residence and real and substantial connection, would govern.
10.5 Section 8 lists only those factors which give rise to the presumption. Factors such as "the defendant has property within the Province" which now exist as a basis for service ex juris, are deliberately excluded from the list and the operation of the presumption.
Discretion as to the exercise of territorial competence
11. (1) After considering the interests of the parties to a proceeding and the ends of justice, a court may decline to exercise its territorial competence in the proceeding on the ground that a court of another state is a more appropriate forum in which to hear the proceeding.
(2) A court, in deciding the question of whether it or a court outside [enacting province or territory] is the more appropriate forum in which to hear a proceeding, must consider the circumstances relevant to the proceeding, including
(a) the comparative convenience and expense for the parties to the proceeding and for their witnesses, in litigating in the court or in any alternative forum,
(b) the law to be applied to issues in the proceeding,
(c) the desirability of avoiding multiplicity of legal proceedings,
(d) the desirability of avoiding conflicting decisions in different courts,
(e) the enforcement of an eventual judgment, and
(f) the fair and efficient working of the Canadian legal system as a whole.
Comments to section 11.
11.1. Section 11 is meant to codify the doctrine of forum non conveniens, which was most recently confirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada in Amchem Products Inc. v. British Columbia (1993). The language of subsection 11(1) is taken from Amchem and the earlier cases on which it was based. The factors listed in subsection 11(2) as relevant to the court's discretion are all factors that have been expressly or implicitly considered by courts in the past.
11.2. The discretion in section 11 to decline the exercise of territorial competence is defined without reference to whether a defendant was served in the enacting jurisdiction or ex juris. This is consistent with the approach in Part 2 as a whole, which renders the place of service irrelevant to the substantive rules of jurisdiction. It is also consistent with the Supreme Court's statement in the Amchem case that there was no reason in principle to differentiate between declining jurisdiction where service was in the jurisdiction and where it was ex juris.
Conflicts or inconsistencies with other Acts
12. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Part and another Act of [enacting province or territory] or of Canada that expressly
(a) confers jurisdiction or territorial competence on a court, or
(b) denies jurisdiction or territorial competence to a court, that other Act prevails.]
Comment to section 12.
12.1. This section is square bracketed so that the enacting jurisdiction will consider the following matters. The Uniform Act is intended to be a comprehensive statement of the substantive law of Court Jurisdiction. The statute codifies the rules and is looked to as the source of those rules. Exceptions clearly compromise that comprehensiveness. However, there may be special provisions, particularly in the family law area, which are inconsistent with the Act and are to be preserved. Those statutes can be listed specifically as exceptions to the operation of the Act. As a last resort, where an enacting jurisdiction cannot specifically list the exceptions, but is convinced that they exist, this section may be included.
12.2. As noted above (comment 2.1), section 12, if enacted, preserves any limitation or extension of the territorial competence of a particular court that is provided, either expressly by implication, in another statute.

Florist Flower Shops Delivery – Amazing
The modern tempo of life demands new conceptions about time and distance. We need to be in time everywhere, we travel much, lead our business, but time is not enough for us catastrophically. Often we do not know in what part of the world we will be in a week, but how it is important not to lose the connection between family and friends. How it is important to remind your family member about yourself, to pay him or her attention even being in several thousands of kilometers far away. Flower delivery abroad is already not a dream, but available service for modern people.
Besides, every one of us faces several times a year with the subject how and where to buy gift: a gift for a girlfriend or boyfriend, a gift to friend, parents' gifts or boss gifts. Often this necessity to buy gift puzzles us. One bears catastrophical time shortage, the other do not like the hustle and bustle of shops and importunate consulting sellers. The best choice in this situation is to visit online shop. Flowers represent the best and always "living" natural gift. Bunch of flowers is always more than simply a gift; the flowers today are the imprescriptible attributes of the modern etiquette. We present flowers in the very different situations and we always do it with pleasure, because they bring joy for a person who gives them and of course to that person who gets the bunch of beautiful flowers. The flowers a capable to transfer different feelings, they always grant positive emotions and a good mood.
The Gift for the President
Some time ago I read in the Internet one interesting article. It turned out that many-many people from many-many corners of the world give presents to American president on his Birthday. One thought has popped in my mind at once: and what about me? Don't I, unpretentious citizen of Ukraine also can congratulate any person in any part of the world whether it be the USA president, Hollywood star or my acquaintance who moved many year ago to Australia? It is so easy with online delivery today and with delivering flowers. It's really amazing thing of our modern times.
How to Choose Flowers in Internet Flower Shop (What is Flower Delivery and How It Works)
Today it has become a fashion to send flowers. There are more than enough reasons for that, that you can't do it personally. So there is a flower delivery service.
I will try to tell about strengths and weaknesses about this service. I will begin with weaknesses. The first and the main is that you do not choose the flowers personally and flower quality as well and wrapping
I'll try to explain briefly the advantages and disadvantages of such a service. I'll start with disadvantages – they actually only two. The first and fundamental – you do not pick the flowers personally and the responsibility for the flower quality and packaging is entirely on the online store. The second – what to do in an irregular situation, if the recipient is not at place or there are problems with the delivery. Both problems can be solved. If you order flowers often enough, then the best solution of the quality problem is your own experience. Having ordered a bunch once you will understand if it is worth to apply to this service again. The question of quality delivery in most cases depends on what clear and correct address of the recipient you have. The more information you provide when you order, the easier it will be for the courier to find the recipient. Take the order on a couple of minutes longer and inform the delivery service about potential problems – "the concierge does not let others come," "angry dog in the yard" or "intercom does not work." If you tell the recipient's phone, it is practically one hundred percent guarantee of success. Typically, couriers connect with the recipient only in emergency cases and introduce themselves "the parcel for you", so the recipient does not know about the surprise until the last moment. An important detail – specify, how the delivery of flowers is carried out- by taxis or their own couriers. By the delivery of taxi services it can be often a flower breakdown or jamming of the flower wrapping, because the flowers – it is a fragile commodity, and the taxi driver is responsible for nothing, so do not be surprised if you deliver roses instead of fifteen thirteen. In addition, taxi time, money and the car will not wait until the recipient "is back in fifteen minutes from the manicure," but couriers, as professionals of their business are highly responsible for the quality of delivery.
Now I'll tell about the advantages of ordering flowers online. They are more, so I'll start in order. The first – this is your time. No need to go anywhere, to choose and bring on your own. Most online stores accept payments online and have a large catalog of works. The second is the range. In any flower shop or kiosk you will not find such a variety of colors and compositions. It is simply impossible to keep on the counter so many bouquets and a variety of colors. Third is the freshness and packaging. Bouquets and flower arrangements are not on the counter, if you, for example, order a basket of flowers on the day after tomorrow in the morning, bought a flower and florists proceed to registration immediately before delivery, which guarantees exceptional freshness of the flower. And the fourth – order flowers online is a way to sleep well. A very popular flower delivery is in the morning time. You can order flowers delivery early in the morning and you will make a recipient woman happy after sleeping, watching at her puzzled reaction from her own bed.
General Tips for the Choice of Flowers in the Online Store
– Consider the number of flowers in the photo, it must correspond to its description
– Always read the description of the bouquet, it should indicate the number and height of the flower
– Check out the order form, it should have a detailed description of the order and delivery address
– Call back to the service order by phone – most likely out of the conversation you will understand if you are dealing with amateurs or professionals
– Do not order in shops with deliberately low price – you will most likely be cheated or one will deliver you the lower quality flowers , but online store delivery is usually worth to be on 10-30% more expensive than in the ordinary flower shop.
