After days of often bitter campaigning, Republican voters in the southeastern U.S. state of Florida are choosing their favorite candidate to run for president.
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney expressed confidence before voting started. The Florida Republican primary election Tuesday comes just over a week after he was soundly defeated in the South Carolina primary.
Strong debate performances and heavy advertising that attacked Romney's top rival - former House Speaker Newt Gingrich - helped Romney surge in the polls. Recent opinion polls show Romney has a double-digit lead over Gingrich in Florida. Romney's campaign has taken on a confident tone.
"Speaker Gingrich, he's not feeling very excited these days," he said. "I know. It's sad. He's been flailing around a bit."
But Gingrich, who trailed in the polls for months last year, only to surge to a big win in South Carolina, vows that his campaign will not end if he loses in Florida.
"We're just getting started," he said.
Florida is one of the biggest states, and the winner here not only garners more delegate support for the Republican national convention later this year, but his campaign may draw new backers in other states.
The delegates officially nominate the candidate to face Democrat Barack Obama in the November presidential election.
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and Texas congressman Ron Paul are the two other candidates on the ballot in Florida, although polls show both far behind the frontrunners.
During the Florida campaign, Gingrich lashed out at Romney, accusing him of being a liberal and running dishonest political ads. The former congressman says he expects a long campaign in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination.
Romney has said that Gingrich is making excuses for his debate performances, and blasted Gingrich for being found guilty of ethics violations that forced him to resign as House speaker.

Having sold out within 30 minutes of its recent November 13 Google Nexus 4 UK release date, Google Nexus 4 sales are to resume later today, December 4.
Confirming the incoming arrival of additional Google Nexus 4 stock, the search giant turn smartphone behemoth has revealed that Google Nexus 4 UK sales will resume at 5pm this evening, offering eager customers another chance to snap up the high-end quad-core handset at its wallet friendly SIM-free price tag.
Making the announcement via an official email to those who had registered interest in the Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 rival, the new stock marks the first time Google Nexus 4 UK sales have been made available through the Google Play Store since launch day stock sold out in just 30 minutes.
"Nexus 4 will be available for purchase later today," a Google spokesperson announced via the widespread email. "Order yours from Google Play starting today, December 4 at 5:00 p.m. GMT."
Severely undercutting the deals laid out by network providers and third-party retailers, the Google Play Store has set budget appeasing Google Nexus 4 price tags with the 8GB edition setting wannabe owners back just £239 whilst the 16GB model lining up at £279.
Google Nexus 4 Features
Despite its low-end price point the Google Nexus 4 specs are some of the strongest on the smartphone market with a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor running the show alongside the revised Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS which the handset helped launch.
Elsewhere, a 4.7-inch WXGA IPS display features with a stunning 1280 x 768p resolution and 320ppi image density whilst a Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating adds protection against everyday knocks, drops and scrapes. With 2GB of RAM thrown into the mix, a 2,100mAH Lithium polymer battery keeps things running as an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera lines up on the 9.1mm thick, 139g in weight device alongside a second, 1.3-megapixel forward-facing snapper.
Have you been holding out for a Google Nexus 4? Will you be snapping up a new Android 4.2 brimmed device once sales restart? Let us know via the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds or through the comment boxes below.

"We are an enthusiastic team of three, creating bags that will travel with you for many years, silently witnessing your journeys. We are all fascinated by objects that travel through time, things that somebody will find after many years at the back of a closet and wonder: how old is this bag? how many travels did it go on? how many more can it take with me?
It is very important for us to control every stage of the production of our bags. And it must start with how the materials are sourced. We want to make sure that they are fairly made and of the highest quality. This is why we personally visit with allهتof our suppliers.
We started with a visit to Alcanena, Portugal, which we had heard was an area with a rich tannery tradition. We met a family that had been perfecting the art of tanning for five generations. We were delighted that they agreed to work with us, being a start-up with just hopes and dreams.
It is amazing to watch how they work, how they analyze each piece of leather and how they strive to achieve the highest quality. And, indeed, the quality of the leather they produce for our bags is outstanding. We are proud to be partners with the best Alcanenian tannery.
The waxed cotton we use comes from the U.K. and it has a long history, starting from the mid-19th century, when it was first introduced in the sailing industry, due to it's waterproofing quality. Even if it was eventually replaced by synthetic materials, waxed canvas is still used not least due to its characteristicهتappearance. We love the scratches and shades it gains over time. The UK factory we work with is more than 100 years old and their history overlaps with the waxed canvas history itself. We are happy we can help take it further.
You can see the outcomes of the dreams and hard work of a beautiful team, whom believe that anything can be mastered with grit and passion. Let's see how far we can go!

Ten Second Review
With 587-litres of luggage space and riding on the same MQB chassis as the Volkswagen Golf Mk 7, the improved SEAT Leon ST estate offers sharp handling, excellent build quality and solid practicality. Plus this revised version delivers smarter styling, improved media connectivity, extra safety provision and some fresh new engine options. As before, the prices being asked represent a substantial saving over those of a comparable, identically-engined Golf Estate. It's hard to grumble at that sort of deal.
So to this improved SEAT Leon ST. a compact estate that isn't that compact. A sensible stationwagon that claims to be sporty. A car of contradictions then, but one that promises to be quite appealing family transport, especially in the revised form we look at here with its slicker looks, stronger safety and improved media connectivity. Practical and sporty, it aims to offer a more dynamic option to compact estate buyers, with a 'lifestyle' appeal that might even pique the interest of folk looking at Qashqai-class crossovers. That's what SEAT says anyway. Time to look at this car in a little more detail.
Driving Experience
You might not be surprised to learn that this Leon ST offers a very similar driving experience to that of its hatchback stablemates - which wasn't guaranteed given the fact that this variant must carry along 270mm of extra length behind its rear axle. In the event, it's not something you notice at the wheel, where the driving dynamics are every bit as good as they are across the rest of the Leon line-up. Under the bonnet, things are much as before, though there has been a change at the foot of the petrol range where a 1.0-litre TSI three cylinder 115PS unit slots in above the existing 1.2-litre TSI 110PS four cylinder powerplant. Other petrol engine options include a 1.4-litre TSI unit with 125PS and a clever 1.4 EcoTSI variant with efficient Cylinder-on-Demand technology and 150PS. As before, Cupra versions get the 2.0 TSI petrol engine from the Golf GTI, but in an uprated form developing up to 300PS. Most Leon ST buyers though, will want a diesel. Here again at the foot of the range there's a fresh option, a 115PS version of the VW Group's familiar 1.6-litre TDI unit. Above that sit the usual 2.0-litre TDI units, offered with either 150 or 184PS. When it comes to gearboxes, the range includes five- or six-speed manual options, all well as double-clutch DSG auto 'boxes with six- or seven-speeds.
Design and Build
Thanks to this Leon ST, nobody, SEAT says, now needs to have to compromise in their choice between a sporty car and a practical one. That may be over-stating things a bit but it's true that this is one of the more dynamic shapes in the compact estate segment. To create it, the Spanish designers have had to compromise a little on ultimate carriage capacity: without the smartly angled rear screen for example, you could certainly fit a bit more in, but then the car would look a little more boxy and boring. We're guessing that most potential family buyers would rather sacrifice a few cubic inches for a more assured driveway statement. Visual tweaks made to this improved version include revised bumpers and bodywork with sharper, more assertive lines, plus there's a smarter chromed front grille. Inside, the ambient lighting LEDs' intensity can be regulated as the driver wishes from the newly redesigned eight-inch central infotainment screen. This monitor eliminates the need for many of the buttons and dials that were scattered around the fascia on the previous model. From this monitor, the LED ambient lighting of the cabin can be dimmed or intensified, giving the interior a classy feel. Otherwise, things are much as they were before. Raise the sloping tailgate and you'll find a 587-litre boot that's a usefully square shape and fully 55% bigger than that of the hatchback model, Once the 60/40-split backrest has fallen flat, carriage capacity rises to 1,470-litres.
Market and Model
The ST estate is priced from around the £19,500 mark, so you're looking at a premium of around £1,000 above the five-door model. Customers get a choice of five trim levels - 'S', 'SE Dynamic Technology', 'SE Technology', 'FR Technology' and 'XCELLENCE Technology'. Beyond that lie the hot hatch Cupra models. There are key changes across the range with regard to media connectivity, this revised Leon featuring the latest generation of the brand's 'Easy Connect' infotainment systems, activated by this model's new 'Media System Plus' eight-inch screen. Customers can also specify a 'Connectivity Box' in the central console that enables wireless smartphone charging. And there's the brand's 'Full Link' system, which enables you to use apps from your smartphone on the fascia screen via either the 'Apple CarPlay' or 'Android Auto' media systems. This improved Leon also features many more options when it comes to electronic safety systems. Examples of this include 'Traffic Jam Assist', which virtually drives the car for you in stop/start traffic. And a 'Pedestrian Protection System' which scans the road ahead not only for other vehicles that might pose accident hazards but also people too.
Cost of Ownership
It's not easy to cut back the weight of a modern family estate in a market where buyers want their cars to be safer and more heavily equipped. Yet thanks to the installation of the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, this SEAT manages to be singularly impressive in its lack of bulk. An entry-level 1.2 TSI Leon ST is the lightest car in its class, weighing just 1,254kgs: to put that into perspective, we're talking 60kgs less than a comparable Ford Focus Estate. On the engine front, the big news with this improved MK3 model Leon ST is the installation of a three cylinder 1.0-litre TSI 115PS unit near the foot of the range. Here, you can expect over 60mpg on the combined cycle and not much more than 100g/km of CO2. The diesel options are also impressively frugal - expect around 75mpg on the combined cycle from the 1.6-litre TDI unit for example. Even the 2.0-litre TDI 150PS unit might surprise you, it being capable of over 65mpg and around 110g/km. All the powerplants get a Start/Stop system that cuts the engine when you don't need it, stuck in traffic or waiting at the lights. Plus an Energy Recovery system that stores brake energy usually lost as heat and uses it to help power the car's electrical systems, ultimately preserving fuel.

text: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 New Podcast: Student Loan Repayment Student loan repayment for physical therapists is 1 of APTA's legislative priorities to pursue policies to enhance the physical therapy workforce. One of the most prominent programs is through the National Health Service Corps, which is described in a new APTA podcast that outlines several loan repayment options that exist for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. A transcript of the prerecorded podcast is available on the podcast Web page. Comments Why is the APTA not pushing for PTA's to be included with PT's in the rural initiative? In my rural area PTA's are used extensively in the SNF settings. With the oncoming increase in aged population growth (baby boomers)this demand is only increasing. Where is the APTA in advocacy for PTA's in this situation? Posted by Jane Stroede -> =NYcCN on 12/17/2011 1:19 PM If you go to the podcast or transcript, you will see that PTAs are also included in this.

150 Prancing Horse cars line out for start of the Ferrari Tribute to 1000 Miglia
Maranello, 12th May – A total of 150 teams entered in the Ferrari Tribute to 1000 Miglia will parade along Brescia's Viale Venezia today to open the 2011 edition of the historic regularity event. At the wheels of 150 post-1957 Ferraris, the competitors will then retrace the Mille Miglia's traditional route to Rome and back, crossing the finish-line in Brescia on the night of Saturday, May 14th.
The 1000 Miglia also passes through the Ferrari complex in Maranello once again this year. There, competitors take part in a special ability trial at the Fiorano circuit on the Saturday afternoon in homage to the Marque that won the classic race more often than any other.
All in all, 44 different models from 1958 to date were selected to participate in the Tribute by a special committee presided over by the Maranello marque's deputy chairman Piero Ferrari. The teams will be competing in a number of categories in the regularity trial being held on the Mille Miglia route, depending on their age and model type.
The Tribute to 1000 Miglia cars and the rest of the vehicles taking part in this historic re-enactment will provide an unmissable spectacle for the tens of thousands of enthusiasts lining the route as they have throughout the race's long history. However, the event can also be followed at www.ferrari.com which will provide a continual flow of exclusive updates, news, standings, and photographs and footage from the morning of the start onwards.

Sen. Ted Cruz's 21-hour Senate floor speech reminded liberal comic Bill Maher of someone else: Miley Cyrus.
"I was thinking the other night, he reminds me of Miley Cyrus, Ted Cruz. Because he is not afraid to incur the wrath of even some of his fans for the greater good of drawing attention to himself," Maher said Friday on his HBO program "Real Time with Bill Maher."

In addition to drawing comparisons between controversial performances, Maher said that the filibuster is "the political version of twerking," but like Cyrus, the Texas Republican will bounce back.
"I really think that a filibuster is the political version of twerking. And for those people who say, 'Ted Cruz, he hung himself.' No. Just like Miley Cyrus, she came out the winner in that. Everybody said, 'oh, she's ruined her career.' She's on the cover of Rolling Stone, her records are outselling anybody else's. I think Ted Cruz is going to be the winner too," Maher said.

Maher's guest, former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich agreed that Cruz strategy will serve future ambitions.
"I don't think there's any question about it. Let's be clear, I think it was refreshing … to have somebody in Washington standing up for his own conviction like that, the problem is, his conviction was ludicrous. He wants to be the head of the tea party. He has presidential ambitions. He doesn't care what happens next week or if the government shuts down," Reich said.
However, Matt Welch, the editor-in-chief of Reason magazine, said Cruz skyrocketing to recognition this week is "more like a hit off a crack pipe."
( Also on POLITICO: Ted Cruz again refuses to back John Cornyn)
"I disagree, I think that it's actually more like a hit off a crack pipe. Right? He's going to be popular for a couple of days here, but it's not really a long-term, performance enhancing plan here."

What text on both incompleteness theorems you would recommend for beginner? Specifically, I'm looking for the text with the following properties:
1) The proofs should be finitistic, in Godel's tradition, i. e. formalizing "I'm unprovable" (not, for instance, via formalization of halting problem);
2) The text must be of reasonable length but with complete proofs, so that one can study them in a reasonable amount of time (e. g. only those forms of recursion theory theorems are proved which are precisely needed for incompleteness proofs);
3) The entire text should be motivated and discussing ideas (even those of philosophical character) before and between technical constructions.
I would be very thankful if you'll equip your suggestion with some short resume.

We've recently moved to making the outer layers of the board separately. It's basically a few layers of glass and graphics, infused on glass.
The net result is a cosmetically perfect skin on the outside and a peelply surface on the inside, ready for bonding.
The main advantage, apart from the cosmetics, is that if there is a fu*kup, you only throw away the skin and not the whole board.
Finished an alutex and carbon skin this week, which turned out very nicely..

This week, we feature a number of tools and articles that leverage Python to do the heavy lifting. So, if you're looking for scripts and applications to put the squeeze on some of that work load, this may be the article for you. In other news, Brian Krebs alerts us to new malware tricks, Jennifer Granick takes a legal look at recent hacking arrests, and the data center is alive at Dilbert.com.
If you have an interesting item you think should be included in the Digital Forensics Case Leads posts, you can send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Last week, David Kovar announced the release of analyzeMFT 2.0, a python module for analyzing the Windows Master File Table ($MFT). This new version is object-oriented, and has been structured such that it can be imported "directly into the python interpreter to allow for manual interaction with the MFT." This update, courtesy of Matt Sabourin, "can also be imported into other python scripts that need to work with an MFT." In addition, some new command options have been added. See the announcement for details.
- William Ballenthin at Mandiant recently released Python-registry, a set of Python modules used for accessing and parsing Windows registry files such as SAM and NTUSER.dat (not to be confused with .reg files). This particular item could also easily be filed under the "Good Reads" section. You can, of course, go straight to downloading the tool from the link above, but I highly recommend you not touch that until you read William's excellent post over on Mandiant's M-unition blog, Tearing Up the Windows Registry with python-registry. His post briefly discusses the structure of the Windows registry file, then provides some Python-registry usage examples complete with code samples.
Good Reads:
- Jennifer Granick has a lengthy post on last week's numerous "hacker" arrests and indictments, entitled "Big Day in Hacker News Brings Prosecutions Grand and Petty." In this post on the Zwillinger Genetski blog, Law Across the Wire and Into the Cloud, Ms. Granick provides some interesting legal perspective on cases such as the Anonymous DDoS of PayPal, the release of AT&T documents that were later distriubted by LulzSec, the compromise of the InfraGard Tampa's website, and Aaron Swartz's (founder of Reddit) download of journal articles from JSTOR. Her perspective in this article might be interpreted as either independent or defense-leaning, depending on your own perspective. One would assume that prosecutors will have a different take on some of the issues Ms. Granick identifies. Nevertheless, the questions she raises seem valid (at least from my limited, i-am-not-a-lawyer, perspective), and one would hope that the prosecution has prepared for them.
- Earlier this week, Neil Archibald posted a fairly geek-tastic article over on the Cisco Security blog. His post, somewhat innocuously titled Extracting EXE Drop Malware, discusses using Python and Yara to script the extraction of Windows executables embedded in other files such as MS Office documents, Shockwave Flash files, and image files. A comment I saw on Twitter questioned the use of a Yara signature to search for a simple text string (you'll see what I mean), but I think part of the point is to demonstrate the technique, which could also be leveraged for more complex signature searches. Neil then goes on to discuss using a virtual machine and Sandboxie to extract the executable by allowing the exploit to run and capturing the dropped executable. Both methods, of course, are designed to capture the malicious executable for further analysis.
- Harlan Carvey has announced his upcoming book, Windows Forensic Analysis - 3rd Edition (WFA 3/e), and provided an overview of the content.
- Krebs On Security: Trojan Tricks Victims Into Transferring Funds - This nasty little piece of malware tricks users into thinking that an erroneous transfer has been made to their accounts, and that they must transfer the money back (to an account the attackers control) in order to get their bank accounts unlocked. See Brian's post for more details.
- Forget About Big Brother It's Someone Much Closer You Have to Worry About - This study for the Retrevo Gadgetology Report suggests that those worried about the watchful eye of Apple, Google, or the government may also need to start worrying more about family and significant others. In a survey of 1000 respondents in the United States, the study found that over 30% of respondents have or would spy on their significant others' email or call history. It would be interesting, I think, to see how results from other countries would compare, but there's no mention of such a study being planned.

Rangers let coaches Moore, Anderson go from staff
Announcement comes day after Washington stated desire to keep crew intact
RLINGTON -- The Rangers decided not to renew the contracts of bench coach Jackie Moore and first-base coach Dave Anderson. Both were informed Wednesday morning by general manager Jon Daniels before the Rangers made an official announcement.
"Both of these are well-respected baseball men," Daniels said. "They have put in a lot of hours for us over the years. Both made an impact here, and we are thankful for that. We have had success as an organization, but you're always looking to improve. Sometimes you have tough decisions to make. This is not a decision that was made easily.
"But we have a responsibility to our organization and our fan base to do what's best, and sometimes you have to make tough calls like this in the name of getting better. This is what it's all about."
The moves come one day after manager Ron Washington said he wanted his entire coaching staff to return. He was especially close to Moore, who has been his bench coach and sitting next to him for every game over the past five seasons
"It was the day after we finished the season," Washington said. "What else could I say other than I wanted my coaches back? Jackie is a family member of mine. This is not something we take lightly. My heart is aching. But, like everything else, I'm a baseball man. When we start the process, we're going to bring in the best that's out there."
Moore was also in charge of the catchers, while Anderson was the Rangers' infield instructor. Both areas will be considered when new coaches are hired. Double-A manager Steve Buechele, who was a Major League infielder for 11 years, is a strong candidate. Hector Ortiz, who is the Rangers' roving catching instructor, is also highly regarded by Washington. But they will also look outside the organization.
"We're always looking internally," Daniels said. "There are some internal candidates on the list, but we haven't contacted anybody, internally or externally."
A bench coach helps a manager navigate through a game, and the last two who have held the position -- Art Howe and Moore -- both had Major League managerial experience. Two 2013 managers who will not return to their clubs -- Eric Wedge with the Mariners and Dale Sveum from the Cubs -- could be of interest. Wedge is a former Major League catcher, while Sveum was an infielder.
But Daniels said Major League managerial experience is less of a priority now that Washington has seven years on the job.
"We're just looking for a guy that is prepared," Washington said. "A guy who sees a lot before it materializes. We're looking for a guy that is in sync with me … a guy who is total baseball, a guy who can help you navigate through the game. We're looking for the best possible choice."
Moore was in his fourth tour of duty as a Rangers coach and spent 11 years with the organization. This was his 56th year as a player, coach or manager in professional baseball. He managed the Athletics from 1984-86 and was the Reds' bench coach when they won the World Series in '90. He was previously a coach with the Rangers in 1974-76, '80 and 1993-94.
"You never know what will happen in this game," Moore said. "To be honest, I don't know why I was fired. I thought we're doing good. We had a great run and moving the organization forward. It was a genuine pleasure to work with Ron Washington. I don't know how the man does it. He takes a lot and keeps it out of the clubhouse.
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you can't play or coach for Ron Washington, you can't work for anybody. Nolan Ryan too."
Anderson spent four years as third-base coach and one at first base. A former Dodgers infielder who played on their 1988 World Series-winning team, he also managed Double-A Frisco in 2007.
Pitching coach Mike Maddux, bullpen coach Andy Hawkins, hitting coach Dave Magadan and third-base coach Gary Pettis are expected back next season.

Usually, boots are made of synthetic fibre, leather with laces, and some come with long leggings or buttons for extra appealing look. For most flattering ones, ensure that they do not cut off your leg and most of them are narrowest under the knees and such boots are very easy to wear.

Flats are another form of casual ones that look good with cropped or narrower pants or with long or short skirts. Casual shoes come with no laces, but tongue is installed on top for extra comfort.

Clog shoes are referred for those made up of wood with antique appearance, but nowadays, this concept has slightly changed. They now come with soft materials, smart looks and thick outer and inner soles.
Dress shoes are designed as per contrastive or matched clothing and these should be brought, considering the latest fashion requirements, such as long heels with leather made material.
Evening Shoes

These can be made of leather, ribbons, buckles, plastics, synthetic rubber or any other material meant for attraction. Ultra high heels actually make short women look shorter when worn on mini or small skirts, as the calf muscles will flex too much.

If you are a runner, you'll have to buy running shoes rather than normal sport shoes.

Director Sam Raimi might only be in the nascent stages of the World of Warcraft movie, but that hasn't stopped folks from expressing interest in the film. Even Brandon Routh, who's appearing in the upcoming Scott Pilgrim movie, seems keen.
"I'm kind of a gamer," Routh recently told MTV. The actor, decked out in a World of Warcraft t-shirt, said he's fan of the game and its developer, Blizzard.
Routh pointed out that Raimi was of course helming the movie version, adding, "My friends over at Legendary [Pictures] are working on that [the film]. ...So I'm looking forward to what's going to happen with that."
And would he like to appear in the WoW flick? "You might get a little action — a little sword fighting — that would be a lot of fun."
Routh starred in the 2006 film Superman Returns and plays vegan guitarist Todd Ingram in this month's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Thwarted by the same awkward timing that zonked "Confessions of a Shopaholic" two years ago, just when shopaholics began to seem extra-heinous, the film version of "I Don't Know How She Does It" doesn't know how to do what I think it's trying to do.
I think it's trying to acknowledge the real-world pressures shaping millions of women's work/life to-do lists.
When the investment firm wizard played by Sarah Jessica Parker tells a colleague she got into fund management because people today are "scared to death about their future," it's meant sincerely, and Parker — even in a disposable comedy with a puddinglike consistency and the aftertaste of something other than real sugar — does not oversell it.
Her comic and dramatic technique is formidable. If she can survive "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" and the second "Sex and the City" movie, she can survive anything.
Freely adapting Allison Pearson's 2002 London-set best-seller, adjusted to Boston and New York locales and a tougher economy, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna has the devil's own time juggling agendas. It's the same for Kate Reddy, the Parker character, who must negotiate time-sucking work projects; a backbiting rival (Seth Meyers) and a demanding boss (Kelsey Grammer); the sweet attentions of a high-powered colleague played by Pierce Brosnan; and a tightly packed calendar involving two kids, a nanny and her super-easygoing-but-there's-a-limit husband, an underemployed architect played by Greg Kinnear.
The movie concerns three especially chaotic months in Kate's life. In addition to direct-address bits to the camera, the script relies largely on Kate's musings in voice-over, whisking us back in spirit to the comparatively carefree days of Parker in "Sex and the City" (which, on television, let's remember, was often wonderful).
But the comedy's forced and rather forlorn in "I Don't Know How She Does It." We first see Kate, who's Type-Triple-A, as she desperately repackages a store-bought pie for a bake sale to make it seem homemade. Old joke; no new spin. Each supporting character gets placed into her own little box, labeled "shrill, stay-at-home, exercise-mad mom" (Busy Philipps plays the queen of the elliptical machines) or "generically supportive best pal" (Christina Hendricks) or "workaholic assistant reminiscent of Emily Blunt in 'The Devil Wears Prada'" (Olivia Munn as Kate's driven aide-de-camp, Momo).
"The inside of a working woman's mind," one line goes, "is like the control tower at O'Hare Airport." True, and yet doesn't that sort of generica belong to the era of "9 to 5"? "I Don't Know How She Does It" condescends inadvertently to its female characters even as it flatters their juggling abilities. The story lacks the wit to say something about double standards or gender politics in a crummy economy. While on a business trip to Cleveland, Kate and the neutered version of Big played by Brosnan take a night off from their spreadsheets to go bowling with an alley full of working-class stiffs. (So that's where the middle class went — Cleveland!) This bit has a strange aftertaste; it plays as a ploy to "humanize" the socioeconomically advantaged.
Also, for a movie largely about temptation, "I Don't Know How She Does It" has a weirdly low sexual current. Whenever Kate and her husband argue about their dangerously low rate of intercourse or some other matter, the stakes seem low, the friction frictionless. The Brosnan character apparently has been keeping himself chaste all these years (since the loss of his wife) for That Girl — sorry, Carrie Bradshaw — sorry, Kate Reddy. I enjoy a lot of these performers. But performers can do only so much to specify what is not specific, or vivid. Near the end there's a series of glimpses of Parker and Kinnear beaming (high-beaming, really) at each other from across a crowded room. As much as I like those two, even in reduced circumstances, those shots are enough to make you urp.
'I Don't Know How She Does It' -- 2 stars

What a lousy week for American moviegoers. Right when studios should be rolling out all kinds of new movies, we instead get treated to a weekend with NO major new releases. The only new movies to be found on the box office chart were Michael Fassbender's feel-bad sex movie "Shame" and "Sleeping Beauty," a movie about people who sleep with drugged hookers. WHEE! FUN! SO CHRISTMASSY! Seriously, people in Hollywood are weird. All the big movies this month have been smushed into the Christmas week window (because that totally means they'll win 97 Oscars), leaving this past week as barren as a February trip to the multiplex. As a result, every single movie in the top 12 at the box office slipped by at least 29% from last week. Here is the final box office chart via Box Office Mojo.
1. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" - $16.9M
2. "The Muppets" - $11.2M
3. "Hugo" - $7.6M
4. "Arthur Christmas" - $7.3M
5. "Happy Feet Two" - $6.0M
6. "Jack and Jill" - $5.5M
7. "The Descendants" - $5.2M
8. "Immortals" - $4.4M
9. "Tower Heist" - $4.1M
10. "Puss In Boots" - $3.1M
With no new titles in there, our PBCS standings from this week look a whole lot like our standings from last week. WATCH!
1. "The Descendants" - 454
2. "My Week With Marilyn" - 400
3. "The Muppets" - 81
4. "Hugo" - 67
5. "Tower Heist" - 19
6. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" - 9
7. "Puss In Boots" - 8
7. (tie) "J. Edgar" - 8
9. "Immortals" - 7
10. "Happy Feet Two" - 4
Neither "Shame" nor "Sleeping Beauty" qualified for our rankings, since they failed to earn over a million bucks. Pity. If only MORE Americans liked depressing movies that make you hate sex! Anyway, George Clooney and Michelle Williams still dominate our rankings thanks to strong reviews and healthy per-screen averages, but they need to WATCH THEIR TUSHIES, because this week heralds the arrival of critical darlings "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin," plus the holiday turdbomb that is "New Year's Eve." So don't expect things to stay like this forever. In the meantime, write to your local studio head to space these movies out. Only college football has worse scheduling.

Let me take this first post in almost one month to deliver some pertinent upcoming event news. It's now summer and thus, event season, here in sunny Southern California. Now that I've somewhat psychologically recovered from a huge picture-data dump from spilling a homemade cocktail all over my non-backed-up laptop, I'm finally ready to move into this crazy part of the year.
So here's a rebirth of sorts; it's an intentional start to the summer by tallying up the essential food events continuing into the fall (L.A. Loves Alex's Lemonade is in September). One focuses on cocktails. One focuses on tacos. One focuses on ribs. Three are on the same day; thus, yes – I do wish that these were spread out, more. But practically all of them feature world-class chefs. So without further adieu, here's where you need to be this summer:

Late in Spoon's new Transference, Britt Daniel sings the pretty piano ballad "Goodnight Laura" in a detached voice that almost sounds overheard—as though someone caught Daniel while he was playing around with ideas for a new song. In fact, a lot of Transference is like that. After the assured, almost conclusive Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Transference finds Daniel and company back in exploratory mode. Nothing here is a radical departure from the past, but on track after track, Daniel seems to be fighting to preserve the spontaneity of a guy sitting at a piano, making stuff up.
Transference features immediately winning songs like "Who Makes Your Money," "Written In Reverse," and "Got Nuffin," all thickly groovy in the classic Spoon style, and it breaks some new ground on the aching, twangy "Out Go The Lights," which finds Daniel paying homage to Factory Records. But the album's dominant mode is exemplified by the chopped-up, minimalist closer, "Nobody Gets Me But You," which sounds like a kid with a brand new Casio, changing settings every few seconds just to try them all out. ("And now… celesta!")
More significantly, a lot of the songs on Transference—"Nobody" included—are about the process of fumbling for a mode of self-expression that cuts through the clutter. The rousing "Trouble Comes Running" and the swinging "The Mystery Zone" evoke exciting frontiers and dangerous people, in lyrics and music designed to move listeners physically and emotionally. And the album-opener "Before Destruction" uses its structure and sound as a kind of call to arms, just by resolving clashing strums, synths, and wordless hums into a single voice and a single instrument, and then inevitably bringing back the noise.

It goes without saying that I've had a lifelong love affair with creative writing. But I've found that just about every published author has a similar tale: "From the time I could write my ABC's, I've been writing little 'books' for my family and friends." And so it was for me.
After college, I took a job as a public relations coordinator at a chemical company in Richmond, Virginia. It put food on my table but didn't exactly feed the soul. I spent my days doing technical writing and my nights writing fiction. In fact, I wrote a whole novel--gobbledygook, yes, but it showed me what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I sent that first-try novel to a couple agents. One of which was Molly Friedrich. She graciously read my work and emailed me a long, considerate email that nicely said something to the effect of: This is dribble. But I see a spark. So if you really want to be an author, get educated. I'll never be able to thank her enough for her honest advice. And I followed it. To the tee. I applied to an MFA program at Old Dominion University near where my husband (fiance at the time) was in medical school. I was ecstatic to be accepted and nervously quit my job to move to Norfolk, Virginia and join the unpaid, indebted graduate student ranks. I couldn't have been happier. In that program, I met some of the most instrumental people of my life and wrote my first (well, second) true novel, The Time It Snowed In Puerto Rico.

Booking Pianists
What is a pianist?
Pianists are solo, usually expert, performers who play the piano. One of the most versatile of entertainers, pianists can perform a wide range of music from pop, jazz, and swing, to rock, show tunes, and classical, and sometimes accompany other musicians and vocalists.
Expert live piano players, our musicians can provide an array of sophisticated melodies for your corporate event, romantic refrains for weddings, and tasteful background music for cocktail parties or receptions.
Depending on the occasion, pianists can work from an iPad, from sheet music, or from memory.
What music will a Pianist play?
With the ability to turn their fingers to almost any style of music, our pianists offer a wide selection of tunes from every genre in their repertoire. Whatever tone you'd like to set at your exclusive private event, a professional pianist will have the perfect music to fit. You can expect music from artists including:
- Abba
- Alicia Keyes
- Beyoncé
- Ed Sheeran
- Elton John
- Lionel Richie
- Michael Bublé
- Michael Jackson
- Oasis
- Van Morrison
- Andrew Lloyd Webber
- Hans Zimmer
- John Williams
- Leonard Bernstein
- Cole Porter
- Frank Sinatra
- Fred Astaire
- Nat King Cole
- Bach
- Chopin
- Debussy
- Handel
- Mendelssohn
- Mozart
Popular types of Pianists
1. Solo Pianists
Covering a range of musical styles, our solo pianists can create an intimate and relaxed vibe or set a big, formal atmosphere. Solo pianists mostly play alone, but on occasion can accompany other musicians or singers. Artists might cover songs ranging from Adele to Bach, Harry Connick Junior to Disney classics.
2. Solo Singer-Pianists
Again, both male and female solo singer-pianists are captivating performers that can sing along when they're playing the piano. Their repertoires are varied, covering classical masterpieces to smooth, chilled jazz, swing and exciting boogie-woogie and soul, as well as classic and contemporary popular hits – their acts offer something for everyone.

Is a Pianist suitable for my event?
With such a varied selection of repertoire and styles on offer, solo pianists and singer-pianists are a very flexible entertainment option. They can set an atmosphere that's unique, be it a cool and laid-back vibe, a formal ambience, or anything in-between.
Pianists often perform background music for daytime and early evening events, at occasions such as:
- Weddings
- Corporate events
- Private parties
- Private dinners and tea parties
- Bar Mitzvas and Bat Mitzvas
- Charity fundraiser events
- Black Tie events
- Gala Balls
- Festivals
- Pubs / clubs / venues
- HM Armed Forces Events
- University events
Our ivory-tinklers can provide beautiful love songs for a wedding ceremony and for that special first dance, and their music can exude an irresistibly refined vibe for your drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
Pianists are also a great option for corporate events and sophisticated cocktail parties.
Volume considerations at your event
Depending on the atmosphere the pianist is trying to create and the room acoustics, volume can range from peaceful, relaxed background music, where your guests can happily hold a conversation, to upbeat, spirited sets guaranteed to get everyone moving! An acoustic pianist might play at an ambient to background volume range of 65dB – 75dB (decibels), where a pianist using an amplified digital piano or singer-pianist may play at a livelier level nearer 80dB – 85dB. Both are pleasant and unimposing volume ranges. As such, a pianist or singer-pianist is an excellent choice if your venue has a sound limiter or a noise restriction policy.
Space considerations at your event
A pianist is usually a great option for small spaces. Where the artist is using a concert grand, baby grand or upright piano, it will usually be provided or hired by the venue so appropriate space will already be assigned. If using a piano shell, which makes a digital piano look like a real grand, the artist would need a comfortable space of 1.5m width × 3m depth. For approximate requirements, see 'How much space will a pianist need?', below.
How much does a Pianist cost?
The cost of a solo pianist varies widely, anything from £130 to over £600. This large range is mainly down to younger, newer musicians eager to build up their experience and charging less, compared with the reputation of well-established and often very busy pianists, who can command higher fees.
In 2017, the average price of a solo pianist is around £300. You can expect to pay more for a singer-pianists.
This table shows the range of fees for different types of pianists:
|Type of Artist
|Cost Range
|£130 - £550
|£250 - £1,750
Booking a pianist who lives close to your venue location is one way to control costs, as their travel time will be minimised. The home town location of all Alive Network pianists are shown on their profile pages, and your Entertainment Coordinator can help by recommending the best pianist local to your event.
Who are the top 10 best Pianists in the UK right now?
Below is our current hotlist of the most notable pianists in the UK, based on a balance of popularity, performance quality and innovation:
For a list of Alive's most booked professional pianists right now, see our 'Top 10 Pianists For Hire in 2017' article
How long will a Pianist play for?
A standard performance may include two 45- or 60-minute sets, but you can choose to have three 40-minute sets if you prefer, and they can perform up to 3 or 4 hours. Singer-pianists will typically play two 45-minute, two 60-minute or three 40-minute sets, up to about 2 hours in total. Like any musical entertainer, pianists and singer-pianists will need breaks in-between sets, and some offer an iPod with background music during their breaks, keeping your guests entertained.
Performance time and length depends on your event requirements. If booking a wedding pianist, they might provide background music as guests arrive for the wedding ceremony, during the signing of the register, and then perform again at the drinks reception before the wedding breakfast. For a corporate cocktail reception, you might prefer only an hour of music, whereas for an exhibition or trade show, you may require a longer performance. All our pianists offer flexible options, which you can discuss with your dedicated Entertainment Coordinators.
How much space will a Pianist need?
This guide shows approximately how much space a pianist will need when playing a variety of instruments:
|Performance Space Required
|Digital piano
|1.4 metres wide × 1.5 metres deep
|Upright piano
|1.6 metres wide × 1.6 metres deep
|Digital piano with piano shell
|1.5 metres wide x 3 metres deep
|Baby grand piano
|1.8 metres wide × 3.5 metres deep
|Concert grand piano
|2 metres wide × 5 metres deep
More accurate measurements for your chosen artist can be provided by your Alive Network Event Coordinator.
How long will it take for a Pianist to set up?
Your pianist will arrive at a time to suit you, and set up their equipment in the performance area. Unloading, setting-up and performing the crucial sound-check usually takes around 30 minutes, depending on how close they can park to the performance space, and what their set-up involves. For artists with a grand piano shell, setting this up can take 60 minutes. Some busy London hotels often require acts to load in using a shared supplier's entrance, which can increase set up times.
Many pianists will play their own digital piano, but if your pianist is using a venue's piano, bear in mind that it must be professionally tuned before they use it. Your pianist will then need a little time to get used to the way that particular instrument plays and its tone. If that piano is being moved before the performance, it absolutely must be checked again by a highly skilled piano tuner, since moving a piano can quickly make it go out of tune.
Following the recital, a pianist can take anywhere from 20 – 60 minutes to pack down and load out.
What equipment will a Pianist need?
To ensure the piano playing is as silky as possible at your event, most pianists require:
- a suitably-sized, safe, dry, flat performance area. If performing outside, they will need cover – either from the rain or the sun!!
- a professionally-tuned piano, if using a venue's instrument
- a minimum of one 13 amp power socket, if a digital piano is being used
- a light, ensuring both ends of the keyboard are well-lit
- an adjustable piano stool
- parking provision, preferably with easy access to the venue
- a secure, lockable changing room
- refreshments such as soft drinks and sometimes food, depending on how long you have booked them for.
Your pianist will bring their music, and will often provide a digital piano where required. Some pianists can provide their own adjustable piano stool, piano shell and a light to illuminate the piano keys/sheet music.
Digital pianos can be amplified through a PA system to fill larger venues, or can plug directly into a conference sound system. It's worth checking with your pianist in advance that their system will be suitable, and that their piano can be put through your venue PA system if required.
Most pianists provide PA systems suitable for average-sized private events, but if you're planning a large event with over 200 people, you may need to hire a separate PA system. Our dedicated Entertainment Coordinators are happy to speak to you about particular pianists and your event requirements.

Nick Baxter's technically demanding painting style dwells somewhere in between traditional sharp-focus still life and modern photorealist styles, while bringing in elements of symbolism and surrealism. His subject matter tends to center around close-ups of skin and visceral, bloody macro-scapes, in exploration of what it means to be human- to have a unique consciousness inhabiting a vessel of flesh and blood...

text: The reasons an outdoor cat should wear a collar extend far beyond our desire for them to look pretty. Reflective, identity and flea repellent collars all serve very important purposes. Of course we do the fluffy, glittery and catwalk worthy collars too! It's important to remember that if your cat is allowed outside, that their collar is elasticated or has a safety catch to prevent them getting stuck anywhere. It's also worth remembering that even if they're wearing an identity collar, it's safer to have your cat micro-chipped in case they get lost.

Corden: Ruffalo's cheeky 'coffee'
James Corden has revealed Mark Ruffalo helped him unwind on the set of Begin Again - with a relaxing gin and tonic hidden in a coffee cup.
The British actor appears with Mark in the improvised romantic comedy about a washed-up record boss, played by Mark, who takes a shine to an aspiring singer-songwriter, played by Keira Knightley.
James revealed: "Mark's adorable, he's just great. He's fantastic. I was doing a play in New York at the same time as the film, so there were quite a few days where I'd shoot like 12 'til six in the afternoon and then I'd get in a car and go across the city and do a play and then I'd be back after the play, because there's quite a lot of montage stuff where we'd need to shoot at night.
"There was this one day where we were shooting on the subway. No one had any lines, it was just this montage of us playing music and Mark had this flask of coffee and he said, 'Oh man, you look exhausted. You must need a drink.'
"And I went , 'Yeah, that'd be nice!' And he gave me his coffee flask and I tried it and it was like gin and tonic! And I just went, 'Oh, that's great!'
"And he went to his assistant or someone, 'Can we get James one these coffees?'."
In the film James, who plays Keira's character's best friend, lives in a tiny studio in New York, and James revealed he could relate to that.
He said: "Before I met my wife I shared a flat with an actor called Dominic Cooper, who's one of my best friends, and we rented what was called a furnished apartment, and there was very little furniture in it.
"Our intention was always to get more furniture, but we never did.
"It was quite a big room with a kitchen in it and we had a tiny, tiny, two-seater sofa, one of those awful leather ones with silver bars like you get in a waiting room of an office. We had that and a coffee table and a TV. And I didn't have a bed for a while, I had a mattress on the floor.
"But they were some of the best times I've ever had. It was great."

Justin Timberlake is on a roll.
Just a few days after scoring boffo ratings with his hilarious fifth appearance hosting Saturday Night Live, the singer-actor outdid himself by performing a barbershop quartet version of his 2006 hit "SexyBack" on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Joining Jimmy Fallon's Barbershop Ragtime Gals, Timberlake eschewed his suit and tie Tuesday night for the group's signature yellow, green and red striped jacket, bow tie and hat as he led them through an a cappella rendition of the song.
He also sang his new single, "Mirrors," as part of his weeklong stint serving as Late Night's musical guest to plug his new album, The 20/20 Experience, which drops next Tuesday.

DANVILLE, Ky.—Despite a late second-half surge, the Birmingham-Southern women's basketball team lost to Centre on the road, 89-81, Sunday afternoon at Alumni Gymnasium in Danville, Ky. The Panthers fall to 6-7 overall and 2-1 in the Southern Athletic Association, while the Colonels move to 9-5 overall and 3-0 in the SAA.
The game started close as the teams played to three ties in the first three minutes. After the score was tied 8-8, though, Centre scored nine straight points to pull up 17-8 by the 14:25 mark and would lead the rest of the game. The Colonels led by as much as 15, 47-32, at the 1:43 mark before taking a 47-33 lead into halftime.
Centre maintained a double-digit lead until the 8:52 mark of the second half back-to-back three-pointers from senior Elizabeth Bromirski and junior Kayla Ford cut it to 69-60. The Colonels scored six straight, however, to pull back up by 15. BSC cut it back to under 10 in the last five minutes of the game when a jumper by Bromirski cut it to 77-69 with 3:12 remaining, and a Ford three-pointer with 26 seconds left and two Bromirski free throws with 17 seconds left cut the Centre lead to 85-79. The Panthers sent Centre to the free throw line after that, where Alexis Guy made both to put the Colonels back up 87-79 with 16 seconds left. BSC missed a shot and was fouled on the next possession, and Bromirski also hit both of her free throws to cut it back to 87-81 with eight seconds left. The Panthers fouled again, and Maggie Hartlage made both of her free throws, and there was not enough time on the clock after that for BSC to get off a shot.
Bromirski led with 18 points, followed by Ford with 15 on 6-8 shooting and sophomore Kelsey Brown with 12. Brown also led with six rebounds and three assists.
Six Colonels scored in double figures, led by Paige Baechle with a game-high 24. Baechle also led with 16 rebounds, and Mary Gordon Stough pulled down 14 boards. Alanna Guy dished out a game-high eight assists.
The Panthers shot slightly better than the Colonels from the field, shooting 42.2 percent (27-64) to Centre's 40.9 percent (27-66). Both teams went 9-22 (40.9 percent) from three-point range, and both teams also went to the free throw line quite a bit. BSC hit 18-23 (78.3 percent), and Centre shot 26-32 (81.2 percent).
The big discrepancy between the teams was rebounding, as the Colonels pulled down 50 to the Panthers' 33, which ties their season low. Turnovers were even at nine for each team, which was the second-lowest of the season for BSC.
The Panthers are on the road again next weekend, traveling to face Millsaps on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 3 p.m. in Jackson, Miss. BSC will also face in-state non-conference rival Huntingdon on the road Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 5:30 p.m. in Montgomery. The teams already squared off back on Dec. 16 in Birmingham, with the Hawks winning by one in an exciting game.
