HILLSBORO, Ore., June 12, 2013 – When world-renowned musicians such as Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis take the stage starting tomorrow at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn., solar panels from SolarWorld, the largest U.S. solar manufacturer for more than 35 years, will offset electricity used to power their performances. A 50-kilowatt array, which festival attendees paid for out of their own pockets, is the first permanent solar system installed at a major American music festival. The clean energy produced by the system is equivalent to 20 percent of the power consumed at Bonnaroo during the annual four-day music and art extravaganza.
Voluntary contributions from Bonnaroo's roughly 80,000 annual attendees, collected through ticket sales since 2012, footed the bill for the system. Bonnaroo reserves opt-in donations exclusively for onsite sustainability improvements. In addition, festival organizers added a $1 fee to every ticket sold in 2012 to generate additional money for green initiatives. The solar installation directly resulted from both types of fan support.
"Running part of Bonnaroo on solar power has long been our goal as it underscores our commitment to the environment," said Festival Partner Rich Goodstone of Superfly Presents. "Construction of the new solar array is complete, and we are looking forward to unveiling it to fans tomorrow."
Composed of 196 solar panels made by SolarWorld in Hillsboro, Ore., the system was planned by Encore Redevelopment of Burlington, Vt., and installed in early 2013 by Sustainable Future, a SolarWorld authorized installer based in Knoxville, Tenn. The system, mounted on the roof of a metal structure in the backstage area, will generate more than 61,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year – equal to about 20 percent of Bonnaroo's total annual power needs. While the system will not be visible to patrons, fans will peruse a solar display in "Planet Roo," an area devoted to sustainability.
"Sustainable Future is proud to be a part of the Bonnaroo Festival and support the sustainability efforts of both the fans and festival organizers. The solar array will generate electricity for music lovers for many decades to come," said David Bolt, company founder. Sustainable Future will supply an additional, temporary solar array at this year's festival, which will provide shade as well as electricity for fans. "An important aspect of sustainability is to use land efficiently. Employing panels to create shade for fans next to the solar stage at Bonnaroo is a great way to accomplish this."
Bonnaroo is one of the largest and most popular U.S. music festivals. Staged over four days on a 700-acre farm, Bonnaroo hosts hundreds of nationally and internationally known bands and performers every June. Since its inception in 2002, the festival has pioneered programs that reduce its environmental impact and encourage fans to embrace environmentally conscientious lifestyles throughout the year. The festival is the only six-time U.S. recipient of "A Greener Festival" award, the international standard for environmentally efficient music festivals. "Bonnaroo is setting an example for both high musical standards and low environmental impact," said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas. "In opening their own wallets to ensure a cleaner, greener concert experience, fans sent out a heartening message about the American public's embrace of solar power."
Internationally acclaimed Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was conceived in 2002 and is among the top events in the world, hosting an annual four-day spread reaching over 80,000 spectators with 150 performances on 10+ stages. The popular festival, held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn., takes place every summer in June and has served as a launching pad for music artists including Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Robert Randolph, My Morning Jacket, Ray Lamontagne, Matisyahu, and many others. For more information, visit www.bonnaroo.com.
The Sustainable Future team has over 40 years' experience in the solar industry and has been servicing the solar and sustainability needs of its clients since 2005 out of Knoxville, Tenn. Projects range from small sub-1-kilowatt off-grid systems to 200-kilowatt commercial systems to multi-megawatt solar farms. More information at www.sustainablefuture.biz.
SolarWorld manufactures and sells solar power solutions and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. As the largest solar producer in the United States and Europe, SolarWorld employs about 3,200 people and carries out production in Hillsboro, Ore., and Freiberg and Arnstadt, Germany. From the raw material silicon to solar wafers, cells and panels, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and is committed to resource- and energy-efficient production. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, SolarWorld was founded in 1998 and has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. For more information, visit www.solarworld-usa.com.

You know I am a little behind but I figure quality over quantity!
I had some other ATCs that didn't come out as well as these and I
decided not to post them. I hate rushing the creative process
especially when the end product is not so good.
Anyway, more to come soon!
Hope everyone had a great holiday!

NY Post says he's living in a van in Los Angeles;
Funk legend Sly Stone now homeless and living out of a van in LA
By WILLEM ALKEMA and REED TUCKER
Last Updated: 5:33 AM, September 25, 2011
Posted: 2:05 AM, September 25, 2011
In his heyday, he lived at 783 Bel Air Road, a four-bedroom, 5,432-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion that once belonged to John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas.
The Tudor-style house was tricked out in his signature funky black, white and red color scheme. Shag carpet. Tiffany lamps in every room. A round water bed in the master bedroom. There were parties where Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Miles Davis would drop by, where Etta James would break into "At Last" by the bar.
Just four years ago, he resided in a Napa Valley house so large it could only be described as a "compound," with a vineyard out back and multiple cars in the driveway.
But those days are gone.
Today, Sly Stone -- one of the greatest figures in soul-music history -- is homeless, his fortune stolen by a lethal combination of excess, substance abuse and financial mismanagement. He lays his head inside a white camper van ironically stamped with the words "Pleasure Way" on the side. The van is parked on a residential street in Crenshaw, the rough Los Angeles neighborhood where "Boyz n the Hood" was set. A retired couple makes sure he eats once a day, and Stone showers at their house. The couple's son serves as his assistant and driver.
Inside the van, the former mastermind of Sly & the Family Stone, now 68, continues to record music with the help of a laptop computer.
"I like my small camper," he says, his voice raspy with age and years of hard living. "I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving."
Stone has been difficult to pin down for years. In the last two decades, he's become one of music's most enigmatic figures, bordering on reclusive. You'd be forgiven for assuming he's dead. He rarely appears in public, and just getting him in a room requires hours or years of detective work, middlemen and, of course, making peace with the likelihood that he just won't show up.
There was a time when Sly was difficult to escape. Stone, whose real name is Sylvester Stewart, was one of the most visible, flamboyant figures of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The multiracial, multi-gender band that Stone assembled fused funk, soul and psychedelic rock and became one of the most influential acts ever. The San Fran-based group released a string of hits beginning with the 1968 album "Dance to the Music," followed by "Everyday People," "Family Affair," "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" and "Stand!"
The group's costumes and showmanship were just as memorable. The members favored giant afros, flashy capes, Beatle boots, neon vests and leopard-print jumpsuits.

PlanEdge: Create Floorplans On A Tablet With A Laser Measure
October 20th, 2014
PFRE reader Sean Elliott at Exposure Property Marketing told me about some new floor plan creation software. Sean said:
Whilst the market is quieter I thought I would take the opportunity to contact you about a new product we are using at Exposure Property Marketing. We have helped a software company here in the UK Boxcubic Ltd design a new tablet based floor plan app that allows users to draw plans digitally on-site without the need to re-draw them later or outsource them to an offshore CAD team.
The website for PlanEdge is planedge.co.uk. The site has pretty complete information on the product, with a series of video tutorials.
I think this is a great concept! Pairing a blue tooth laser measuring device with a tablet and creating the floor plan as you walk through the property is a great design. My only feedback to Sean was that it would be great to have this App available on IOS and Android. Right now Windows tablets are 3% of the market, Android is 61% and IOS has 35%. Although, since the cost of the tablet you are using, is a relatively small part of the yearly cost, it may make sense to just go purchase a Windows Surface 2 tablet so you can use this application.
So what does everyone think of Sean's application? Give him your feedback.

Lipinski: Democrats in Congress Need to Watch Trump Closely
If you're having trouble telling fact from fiction these days, you're not alone. President Donald Trump says a lot of things. Some of them are true, some are lies, and a lot fall into a gray area in between.
Even members of Congress are struggling to get to the truth, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski told me on Thursday.
"It's been hard during these first few weeks to tell what's really going on and what's not true," Lipinski said. "I think it's important for Congressional Democrats to keep watch about what is going on as much as we can."
During a 30-minute conversation at his Orland Park district office, Lipinski addressed a range of topics. We focused on transportation and science — committees on which he serves — but also covered economic issues, health care, foreign policy, Trump's ethics conflicts and other concerns.
Lipinski said he supports Trump's position on some issues he campaigned on, including spending up to a trillion dollars to rebuild America's infrastructure. Despite its potential for bipartisan support, there hasn't been much of a legislative push for an infrastructure bill during the first three weeks of Trump's presidency.
"It seems the Congressional Republicans are not that eager to do the transportation bill … It's really Democrats in Congress who are pushing this," Lipinski told me. "President Trump keeps pushing them. For Republicans it's on the back burner.
"We need to come up with a plan and how to pay for it. It's not going to be easy but it's something I think needs to be done."
Lipinski serves on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and said the country needs to rebuild roads and bridges, fix water and sewer systems, invest in public transportation, and fund improvements to railroads, airports and shipping ports.
"We need a first-class transportation system," he said. "By doing this not only do we put people to work immediately, but the more efficient we can make our transportation system the more efficient we can make American businesses.
"It helps the economy. We need to focus on jobs. I think that's what the election was really about. Despite the unemployment rate being low, wages have not grown. That's a major concern."
Lipinski has represented the 3rd District since 2005. His district includes parts of Chicago's Beverly, Bridgeport and Mount Greenwood neighborhoods and several south and southwest suburbs. His constituents include people in Bridgeview, Burbank, Hickory Hills, Homer Glen, Justice, Lemont, Lockport, Oak Lawn, Palos Heights, Palos Hills, Romeoville, Worth and several other communities.
He's known as one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress. He's the only Democrat from Illinois who voted against the Affordable Care Act, and one of just three House Democrats who recently voted to prohibit spending federal funds for abortions.
Lipinski said he will oppose efforts to repeal President Barack Obama's health insurance law until a better replacement is proposed.
"Now, Republicans have full control of the House, Senate and White House and they are really on the spot," he said. "They've talked about repeal and replace for nearly seven years and they have not come up with a replacement.
"They're struggling to come up with a plan. I believe we need to fix it, not throw the whole thing out. Most Republicans have learned that. President Trump has said we need something better. The question is, what is better?"
He also serves on the Space, Science and Technology Committee and is ranking Democrat on the research and technology subcommittee. His district includes Argonne National Laboratory, and Lipinski said he's concerned the Trump administration might try to cut funding for science, especially research dealing with climate change.
"The No. 1 concern I have is that funding will be cut for alternative energy projects and clean energy," he said. "That we're going to move toward just helping the fossil fuel industry even more."
Lipinski can use his voice in Congress to address potential changes in policy on environmental protections. We talked about how immediately after the inauguration, the White House website was scrubbed of information about climate change.
"It's also important that we don't have a situation where — especially in climate change — where we have politicians stepping in and dictating what kind of scientific research is going to be done," Lipinski said.
"That's something I'm going to be watching out for, helping keep oversight over, and calling out anything wrong that I do see and fighting for the research funding we need."
Argonne hosts visiting international scientists, researchers and scholars. Lipinski said he hasn't heard about Argonne being directly affected yet by Trump's executive order restricting travel between the United States and seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
He has, however, heard from area hospitals affected by the travel restrictions and said he expects Argonne would be affected if the executive order is upheld in court.
"It's a concern in all professions about who might not be able to come here, or who might be here and not able to take a trip back home," he told me.
"(There's concern about) some scientists not wanting … to work for the federal government because they don't know if there's going to be political interference in what we do … That's a problem. The United States needs to be a leader in scientific research. Generally, Republicans in Congress agree with that statement."
Trump's handling of foreign policy is a major concern, Lipinski said.
"We can't continue picking fights everywhere. A lot of Americans think we need to stand stronger. I don't disagree with that. But that doesn't mean you go picking fights with countries all around the world. That's not the way to be a stronger, more secure America."
Domestically, however, Lipinski said he believes he could find common ground with some positions supported by Trump and Republicans. For example, Lipinski recently sponsored "Buy American" legislation that close loopholes, promote hiring Americans and ensure federal contracts are awarded to domestic companies whenever possible.
Lipinski, like other Democrats in Congress, expressed a willingness to work with the president and Republicans on some issues. But he cautioned that in other areas, including ethics, he and other Democrats will closely monitor the president's conduct.
"There are great concerns over his business dealings and connections," Lipinski said. "There are so many things that would be easier for the president and, I think, better for our country if the president did not Tweet as much as he did."
"A lot of us had hoped he would be different when he became president. I'm not going to sit here and say I want the president to fail because that means that people suffer, Americans suffer. My job is to keep the president in line so things get better in our country."

Always great to see when movies have major themes that reflect our times, as art should reflect and comment on our times. Even moreso, it's the recent big blockbuster movies, and that means they resonate and connect with the majority of the public. Here are some recent ones:
SPOILER warning.
The civilized public fears a certain classification of the public when the cops blame "predators" (lions, tigers, foxes) as inherently vicious, saying it's in their DNA. This could be said about govn't racial profiling muslims, black and brown people, natives, japanese/asians, etc. and the fear spreads in the public. Authorities say they're not racist or ignorant, but they are, and the public knows it.
Bridge of Spies
Even prisoners (of war) deserve due process and civil rights. I was thinking about Guantanamo throughout watching it.
And, as shown in the negotiations, war is always about a show of force, a dick size contest. The US, East Germany, Russia all want to look powerful.
Jurassic World
Vincent D'Onofrio wants to make the raptors a military weapon. Bad guys always seem to want to turn things into a weapon, don't they... Govn't wants to equip and arm "moderate" rebels? Psh, good luck. Look where it's gotten us.
Captain America The Winter Soldier
Redford/Hydra wants to take away freedom for security, calls for pre-emptive attacks, drone bombing, to kill people that a database labels as enemies, without due process. Sounds like obamadrones, and obama's matrix.
One of Captain America's great lines is, "By holding a gun at everyone on Earth and calling it protection."
Captain America is on our side, his friend Bucky is mind-controlled on the other side.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Many great themes here.
Man nuked itself. Wars for oil.
Water controls the people.
The brides want freedom and liberty from patriarchy.
The Lego Movie
Freedom and liberty from the rules and regulations of the father figure.
Star Wars
Rebels against a fascist empire.
The Hunger Games
Rebels against a fascist empire.
about Edward Snowden. Just pointing out that is got the Academy Award. Nuff said.
Dirty Wars
US war crimes.
nominated for Academy Award
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
anti-war themes
Ender's Game
war games. War is all a game.
The World's End
Simon Pegg does a long speech at the end about freedom and liberty.

"Amy Winehouse is set to fill her north London home with £20,000 worth of Christmas decorations. She spent half a day in Selfridges buying up goods that included dancing Santas, moving reindeers and Christmas lights (as well as eating lunch and dinner there)."http://www.nme.com/news/daily-gossip/48553 Celebrities often resort to infantile behavior: Britney Spears shaves her head, Paris Hilton exposes her vagina, and Amy Winehoue spends thousands of dollars on Christmas decoration. When Amy Winehouse`s brains clears from her crack binge, she will realize that she`s Jewish and doesn`t celebrate Christmas. I would love to see Amy`s Christmas tree, it`s probably decorated with strings of crack and in leiu of ornaments syringes will be hanging from the branches. Merry Christmas Amy, and take a hit on the Yuletide bong for me!

On June 28th, 2009, I stood out front of UBC Hospital wearing a pair of leather Mary Janes. I was not allowed to leave the hospital barefoot, but my legs were so weak that I could only walk by scrunching my toes along the floor. I tried to take a step, but the rubber soles only scuffed against the pavement. I was fixed in place by a forcefield made of half a pound of rubber.
|Mika and I on a very slow walk
That summer, I walked barefoot around the block as my hip replacement clunked around like a loose heel on a shoe. Sometimes my cat would join me. She would get annoyed by my slowness and sprint ahead in and out of bushes, then tire halfway through and flop down on someone's driveway until my mom carried her the rest of the way home. I did my exercises twice a day in my childhood bedroom, napping, fading in and out of shows about home renovators and people with 19 children. At night, I slept under a ceiling fan that, decades ago, I had decorated with glow-in-the-dark stars and letters that read Arley Was Here. When the fan turned on, the letters blurred into a glowing circle over my head as I laid awake worrying that I would never get better, that nothing would improve, I would be stuck forever in this bedroom with the ceiling fan announcing that Arley Was Here Still Living With Her Parents And Had Not Worn Anything But Gym Shorts And T-Shirts In Over A Month.
Things did, of course, get better. I went to physio at Burnaby Hospital's hips and knees clinic. I found a new surgeon, who diagnosed me with a torn gluteus medius, and I underwent another surgery to try to repair the gluteus medius and the hip replacement. (The gluteus medius reattachment failed. Cue a lifetime of half-assed jokes).
I graduated to a cane, then I ditched the cane because I thought that staggering around like a sea creature was somehow sexier than walking with an assistive device designed for old people and I was trying online dating. I earned the ire of the elderly women at deep water aerobics with my misplaced competitive drive. I wildly overestimated my physical abilities and tried to do the Grouse Grind, where I was passed by an endless parade of fit people, then children, then fat old men with their socks pulled up to their knees, then tourists limping in flip flops, but I did not die. I wildly overestimated my physical abilities and did a 20km+ hike to Garibaldi Lake, which caused all of my toenails to fall off, but which also did not kill me. I met an awesome guy, got engaged, and now boast a wardrobe that is only 30% comprised of workout gear. Okay, maybe 40%.
|Hiking near Squamish
Today, I still walk like badly done stop motion animation. I will spare you the laundry list of my physical maladies, but suffice to say that if my muscoskeletal system was a house, it would be on Holmes on Homes. As a former Paralympian, however, I missed having a challenge. When one of the organizations I work for, BC Wheelchair Basketball Society, was announced as a charity for the Scotiabank Half Marathon, I once again wildly overestimated my physical abilities and decided to sign up. If I couldn't run it, I would just walk it, and if walking proved too difficult I would just flail away in the direction of the finish line until I staggered across it.
Because the Scotiabank Half Marathon course closes after 3 hours, I decided to test my range at the four-hour Fort Langley Half Marathon, which unfortunately took place the day after I returned from a week working at the Canada Winter Games. I'd decided to go hiking the day before and got my shoes stuck in the snow, so they were damp. I was dehydrated from a week of event coverage, where I survived pretty much on coffee, popcorn and Starbucks' lemon-cranberry scones (carbo-loading!). I had not trained. I was running on two hours of sleep. I remembered on my way to the race that I probably should have brought some of those replenishing gel pack things…or at least a bottle of water. I checked in at 6:30 am to a beautiful sunrise and wondered what the hell I'd gotten myself into.
Still, I was optimistic. Armed with a copy of Hole's "Celebrity Skin," which I listened to on repeat for the entire duration of the race, I set off to walk 21.5 kilometers. Several people stopped to ask what was wrong with me. Several more asked if I needed medical assistance. One suggested an IT band brace. One suggested that the medics could be here shortly if I needed them. A guy drove up in a car and asked if I needed help, then returned again to tell me a story about his friend with brittle bone disease, then returned again with a printed photo of a double amputee running a marathon to inspire me to finish. Around the 15Km mark, my gait pattern began to resemble that of Jack Torrance's in the "Here's Johnny" scene of The Shining. Still, I finished in 3:04, and I was not last. (Eighth to last…but still).
|Celebrating after the Fort Langley Half Marathon
And so, on June 28th 2015, exactly six years after I left the hospital after my first hip replacement, I'll be walking the Scotiabank Half Marathon in support of BC Wheelchair Basketball Society. Wheelchair basketball changes lives. It certainly changed mine. I want to give back in a small way to an organization that has given me so much over the years.
So far, I've been overwhelmed with the support I've received. My family and friends helped me reach my fundraising minimum in about three hours. My amazing personal trainer Christie Stoll at Spartacus Gym went above and beyond to set me up with a strength program to correct my imbalances and a walking plan to improve my speed. Even the sales guy at The Running Room on Cambie turned out to be a physiotherapy student and spent nearly an hour learning about my condition and finding me a pair of running shoes that would improve my foot pain.
Right now, I'm off to go walk 11.5 kilometers in the rain. I still need to shave five minutes off my time to cross the finish line in under three hours, but I plan to using the same strategy that allowed me to walk around the block in under 30 minutes that summer six years ago: trusting experts, doing a little more than yesterday, and being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Gimpy little baby steps, yo.

The Sorrows of Young Werther
Malaise in J.W. Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther College
J.W Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther is heavy with a sense of malaise, as it describes a young man's decent into mental instability which ends in his suicide. The cause of this sense of malaise lies with the narrator himself, as his own mental state leaks through into his letters to Wilhelm, creating a largely melancholy tone. The novel in itself contains little in the way of true tragedy, up until Werther's suicide which does not occur until the end. This suggests that the malaise at the heart of the novel originates within Werther himself rather than anything that may occur in the book. Although the malaise channelled into Werther's letters is heightened by an unrequited love and public humiliation by the Aristocratic class, it is his deep inner malaise that prevents him from dealing with these events, resolving instead to kill himself.
On the surface, the phenomenon of unrequited love appears to lie at the heart of the novel's sense of malaise. Werther's love for Lotte creates a profound sense of discomfort for both parties as he pursues her in spite of her already being with Albert. Werther's feelings for Lotte also trigger his descent into depression and serve as the direct situational cause of his suicide. Indeed,...

Boy, I haven't posted in a few months. So, let me catch everyone up on what's been going on. Back in February daddy got really sick, it took him almost two months to get better. But during that time we missed out on going to ComicCON and a Star Wars party, it was best that we missed those anyway, daddy needs to be 100% when we go (he's learned that the hard way).
Last month (March) daddy spent the day in hospital with breathing problems, I went with him and kept him company while he recovered. Once he was well enough to go home, a nice lady set daddy up with a special service that delivers food right to his door.
Now, on to some more fun stuff. A few weeks ago me and daddy went to see some movies, the first one we saw was Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. It was okay, but it wasn't as good as Star Wars, or the other movie we saw next.
We went to see Zootopia (twice), and it was hilarious. A quick synopsis of the plot, a girl bunny becomes the first bunny to become a police officer in the ZPD (Zootopia Police Department). She stumbles across a mystery where predators are turning savage, and with the help of a sly fox named Nick Wilde, solves the case.
Oh, and on the same day we saw Zootopia for the first time, we also picked up a newly released movie on DVD. Any guesses as to what movie it was? It was Star Wars VII The Force Awakens, daddy actually had that date saved on his calender.
Next month (about 3 weeks away), we are going to be at a BIG Star Wars party downtown (it's May 4th, Star Wars Day), daddy has been working on his costume for that day. Now if only the stuff that daddy ordered would get here, there's a few pieces for his costume that he ordered online, and they're taking a very long time to get here. Luckily, the company daddy deals with has a deal where if something you ordered doesn't arrive on time, they give you a full refund and if the item should show up at a later date, you get to keep it free of charge. And about 95% of the time the item is late, so daddy ends up getting the thing for free.

The week between Christmas and New Year�s is a fine time to catch up with �sleepers.�
Those are titles that didn�t catch fire at the box office but still remain worth discovering.
Some sleepers you might sit down and watch when resting from all of the holiday events include:
�Ali� ($14.99, DVD; $19.99, DVD Director�s Cut)
Michael Mann directed this inspired biopic and Will Smith was in top form as the boxing champion, but audiences didn�t discover it when the R-rated picture opened in theaters during the Christmas season of 2001.
Many people have never seen �Ali,� which follows Muhammad Ali from his first heavyweight win in 1964 to his �Rumble in the Jungle� battle with George Foreman in 1974. Mann examines Ali�s conversion to Islam, his friendship with Malcolm X and his refusal to serve in the military.
The cast includes Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith. (R)
�Astro Boy� ($19.99, DVD; $24.99, Blu-ray Disc)
This computer-animated adventure blends beautiful images and family themes in a story about a scientist (voice by Nicolas Cage) who creates a super-powered robot in the likeness of his late son. The creation then battles for peace between robots and humans.
The $65 million picture, which was expected to be an international hit but grossed just $38.8 million globally, is based on the classic Japanese comic and cartoons by Osamu Tezuka. The 2009 release features the voice talents of Freddie Highmore and Kristen Bell and is well worth watching. (PG)
�Coogan�s Bluff� ($14.99, DVD)
Actor Clint Eastwood and director Don Siegel, who went on to do �Dirty Harry,� worked for the first time on this politically incorrect tale (1968).
Eastwood plays a Wyoming lawman who travels to New York City to apprehend a criminal (terrific B-movie actor Don Stroud) and faces nothing but roadblocks, which he kicks his way through.
The poolroom rumble is one of the grittiest fight scenes ever put on celluloid. (R)
�The Good Girl� ($14.99, DVD)
Jennifer Aniston, who has never become a movie star despite numerous screen roles, shines in this offbeat romance that features the former �Friends� regular as a married Texas woman. She�s stuck in a dead-end retail job and becomes infatuated with the store�s new employee, a 22-year-old guy (Jake Gyllenhaal) obsessed with the Holden Caulfield character in �The Catcher in the Rye.�
The 2002 picture, which blends comedy and sadness, features Zooey Deschanel and John C. Reilly in supporting roles. (R)
�Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels� ($14.99, DVD; $19.99, unrated DVD; $26.99, Blu-ray Disc)
Director Guy Ritchie�s darkly humorous 1998 gangster picture is set in London�s East End and follows four guys seeking to score big in a card game, a poorly conceived plan that gets them in debt to a local crime boss. Jason Statham and former Welsh soccer player Vinnie Jones star.
Ritchie also directed �Snatch� with Brad Pitt, and the two titles would make a great doublebill for those into gangster tales. (R)
�Please Give� ($28.99, DVD; $34.99, Blu-ray Disc)
In this dark contemporary satire, a New York couple (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) make a living selling the furnishings of the recently deceased. They get into a complicated relationship with two young women (Rebecca Hall and Amanda Peet) who are the granddaughters of their 91-year-old neighbor, whose apartment the couple want to take over after she dies.
It�s a sometimes-unsettling film that examines ethical questions about life, death and personal greed. (R)
�Shoot �Em Up� ($14.99, DVD; $19.99, Blu-ray Disc)
This outlandish picture is structured like a Looney Tunes cartoon as a gun expert played by Clive Owen reluctantly becomes responsible for the life of an abandoned infant and receives help from a hooker played by Monica Bellucci. The terrific cast includes Paul Giamatti as a ruthless mobster responsible for making the newborn disappear.
The outlandishly staged 2007 romp, which features practically nonstop gun blasts, died in theaters and continues to be discovered by new fans each year. (R)
�Tom Horn� ($19.99, DVD)
The late, great Steve McQueen attempted to make a Western classic with this flawed but fascinating tale about a real-life frontier bounty hunter who is doomed when his way of life starts changing due to civilization coming to former wide-open spaces.
Linda Evans and Richard Farnsworth are featured in this 1980 picture that only briefly played in theaters before being pulled from distribution.
At times, �Tom Horn� offers a lyrical view of the old West, even though it�s obvious from the start that the old-school title character is doomed. (R)

The warm waters of the Atlantic
This wonderful summer cruise sees Columbus call at the floral paradise of Madeira and three sun-kissed Canary Isles. With time spent at sea to enjoy Columbus' elegant, spacious amenities - and with calls at the colourful Portuguese capital, Lisbon, and Gibraltar - this is a not-to-be-missed voyage to warmer climes. Columbus is normally a child-free ship, but this cruise is offered to passengers of all ages over six months, giving you the chance to share an unforgettable voyage with your children and grandchildren.
Life on board Columbus
There's far more to Columbus than we could possibly fit on this page. Click below to find out more about her cabins, restaurants and other excellent facilities.
Full Itinerary
Day One: Depart London Tilbury
Board Columbus in Tilbury today, and settle in to your cabin as she prepares to set sail.
Day Two: Rotterdam
Columbus reaches her first port of call today: the Dutch maritime city of Rotterdam. Step ashore to see the stunning architecture of the Erasmus Bridge and the remarkable Markthal food market. Browse the World-class museums, explore the lovingly preserved Old Harbour and stroll past nearby Delfshaven's step-gabled houses and ancient wharves.
Days Three to Five: At sea
Spend a few days relaxing, and getting to know the ship, her crew and your fellow passengers as Columbus sails south towards the straits of Gibraltar.
Day Six: Gibraltar
Spend today in the very British outpost of Gibraltar in the shadow of the famous Rock. Search out a bargain on Main Street, or take a cable car to the heights above to see the famous Barbary Apes, and the views across the Straits to North Africa and the Atlas Mountains.
Day Seven: At sea
Relax on board as Columbus spends another day at sea.
Day Eight: Lanzarote
The first of our Canaries calls is Arrecife, capital of Lanzarote, where black sand beaches fringe warm waters. You'll have the chance to head to 'fire mountain' and to take a camel ride to the edge of a volcano.
Day Nine: Gran Canaria
Today Columbus ties up in the Las Palmas, Gran Canaria's principal port. Step ashore to explore the bustling metropolis of modern Puerto de la Luz, or head to the palm-fringed squares of the old town, Vegueta, and perhaps take a shore excursion inland for some superb views.
Day 10: Tenerife
Today is spent on the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife. Columbus will dock in the principal port of Santa Cruz. Discover the land that boasts 'the whole world in one day' on optional shore excursions that might take you for a swim in warm waters or to throw snowballs on the slopes of Mt Teide; or from the capital's glitzy shopping malls to stunning gardens, banana plantations and forests of giant pines and eucalyptus trees.
Day 11: Madeira
Some 500 miles off the coast of Africa, Madeira is one of the world's most beautiful islands. This sun-blessed subtropical paradise is home to some of the most vibrant and exotic flora on Earth. Relax in Funchal, the island capital, visit the wonderful Botanical Gardens, and perhaps race downhill from Monte to Livramento in a wickerwork 'toboggan'!
Day 12: At sea
Spend another day at sea, hopefully enjoying sunny skies, as Columbus heads back towards mainland Europe.
Day Day 13: Lisbon
The Portuguese capital Lisbon is Columbus' final port. Stroll the narrow streets of the Alfama district, and climb aboard one of the city's famous trams. See the extraordinary Manueline architecture of the Belem quarter, and the striking modern buildings of the Baixa.
Days 14-15: At sea
Make the most of your final two days on board as Columbus cruises to London and home.
Day 16: Arrive London Tilbury
Bid farewell to Columbus and all your fellow travellers, today, as you disembark at the end of your cruise.
Days marked above with an anchor include ports where you will be transferred to shore by landing boat. These ports may be inaccessible for customers with mobility difficulties as a result. Any days not listed will be spent at sea.

Came here with a large group and filled up on all the sushi. I didn't bother putting anything else on my plates.The sushi was decent. I tried almost every single roll, but some of them just didn't taste good. There were a few good ones though. I suggest just sticking to the plain sushi--the salmon was …
Not at all bad. But for $31.50pp plus tax/tip I expected quite a lot better. Also, in whose universe is this a 2 $$ price??

From the moment that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, America learned that it is not an impenetrable fortress protected by thousands of miles of ocean, and on September 11, we were tragically reminded of that fact. Likewise, there is a new kind of threat to the United States that knows no territorial boundaries, but this one travels neither by land, by sea or by air. It's the threat to America's cyber security, and today Congress has the opportunity to do something about it.
Whether you know it or not, hackers are busy at work all around the world striking the United States via the Internet in an attempt to steal valuable intellectual property and sensitive information. Using the same methods, these perpetrators of cyber espionage could attack the critical infrastructure that keeps America running, such as the nation's power grid and water supply.
China is a major cyber espionage culprit. According to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, U.S. companies have reported Chinese attempts to steal client lists, merger and acquisition data, pricing information, and the results of research and development efforts — all of which gives foreign companies an unfair competitive advantage. That intellectual property theft also costs big money — ranging up to $400 billion per year, not to mention the jobs that go along with it.
Though the United States government has the capability to protect itself against cyber espionage by using both classified and unclassified cyber threat information, the private sector doesn't get the benefit of this information. Today, the House of Representatives will vote on a crucial bill to do something about it — the Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), introduced by House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) and ranking member Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD).
Under CISPA, the U.S. government will be able to share information about incoming cyber attacks — that includes providing American companies details on malware, viruses, and other malicious code that pose a threat to their security. That way, attacks can be stopped before they even begin. For their part, the companies would be encouraged to share information about the threats they identify — all on a completely voluntary basis — so that other networks can be protected. And that's valuable information that computer analysts can use to understand the attack, who launched it, where it's coming from, and how to protect against other attacks like it.
Civil liberty advocates and other critics of the bill have raised concerns that CISPA is a threat to privacy or could result in the blocking of websites, as was the worry with the Stop Online Piracy Act. However, nothing could be further from the truth
Analysis of the bill shows that CISPA does not allow for any blocking of websites but merely facilitates the sharing of cyberthreat information. It gives no additional authority to the Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, or any other "element of intelligence community to control, modify, require or otherwise direct the cybersecurity efforts of a private-sector entity or a component of the Federal Government or a State, local, or tribal government."
In addition, the bill includes new measures that would allow the government to use shared cybersecurity information only for a cybersecurity purpose, for a national security purpose, to prevent death or serious bodily harm, or to protect minors from sexual exploitation, kidnapping, and trafficking. That's in addition to other protections against the improper use of data.
Rogers warns that, "Without important, immediate changes to American cybersecurity policy, I believe our country will continue to be at risk for a catastrophic attack to our nation's vital networks – networks that power our homes, provide our clean water or maintain the other critical services we use every day." Rogers is right. As Americans know all too well, the United States is not invincible. Though the nature of the threats may change, the need to defend ourselves remains. The Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Protection Act is a valuable resource in that fight.

Salinity and temperature differences create masses of water with different densities. Gravity causes more dense water to sink below less dense water As a result, the less dense water rises. These factors create currents.
For the next few experiments, we will explore how water of different salinity levels and of different temperatures react. Our first experiment will be with water of different salinity levels.
You will need:
- 2 identical plastic bottles (about 12-16 ounces) with straight sides and threaded mouths (water bottles are good)
- a tornado tube
- a white dish towel
- salt, Kosher preferred because it leaves the water more clear
- food coloring (any color but yellow)
- a yogurt or small container of sour cream lid with the rim cut off
- room temperature water
- a tablespoon
Fill two bottles with room temperature tap water. Fill one bottle to the very top and leave about an inch of space at the top of the second bottle. Add approximately 4 Tablespoons of salt (preferably Kosher salt as it leaves the water clear) and six drops of food coloring to the bottle with the space at the top and shake well. This is the salty water bottle. Screw a tornado tube tightly onto the salty water bottle. Finish filling the salty water bottle to the very top on the tornado tube with tap water.
Place a yogurt lid with the rim cut off over the top of the fresh water bottle. Press down firmly on the yogurt lid, invert the fresh water bottle and quickly place it over the opening of the tornado tube attached to the salty water bottle.
Carefully slide away the yogurt lid, allowing the two bottles to join together with the tornado tube between them. Screw the fresh water bottle tightly into the tornado tube.
Lay the bottles gently on their sides on a white dish towel to catch any drips. Have the one side of the dish towel bend up by attaching it to a box or a wall if one is close so that you can see the movement of the colored water. Try to disturb the bottles as little as possible. You may have to tighten the tornado tube if you see more than a few drops leaking from either bottle.
Bend down to eye level and watch the movement of the water. At first the colored water will slowly seep into the clear water bottle and gather a little on the bottom of the tube.
If you continue to watch the bottles for at least 5 minutes, you will see that the bottles pretty evenly divide, with the colored water on the bottom and the clear water on the top.
What do you think this tells you about when waters of different salinity levels come in contact with each other?
|The water with the most salt and therefore the most density, will move to below the water with less salt and therefore less density. This movement can create a current.
If you like, you can sketch first the set up, labeling which bottle has fresh water and which has salty water, and then using colored pencils, show the movement of the colored water in the bottles and where it ends up.

On August 1, 2015, the Beta Cell Biology Consortium (BCBC) came to an end. Started in 2001 to understand beta cell biology and how to make beta cells, the BCBC provided information and access to its resources through the betacell.org web site. The Beta Cell Genomics component was based at CBIL and provided data mining of gene expression, epigenetic, and transcription factor binding datasets. The information previously found at those sites is now summarized in a Resource Catalog and all betacell.org and genomics.betacell.org URLs resolve to the Catalog.

Education Is Key to Future Opportunities
Contributed By From the Church News
"I don't know what words to use to express my appreciation to the people who are responsible for making my PEF loan possible." —Antonio Jayme Gordevilla Jr., PEF participant
Related Links
Many people in countries around the world are realizing their hopes and dreams of gaining an education through the Church's Perpetual Education Fund.
In a news conference on February 4, 2008, President Thomas S. Monson said of the program: "Today's world is competitive, more than it's ever been. I believe men and women need to get a type of education which will enable them to meet the exigencies of life. … Men and women need to be prepared for a vastly broader scope than we've ever had before. … [The Perpetual Education Fund] is a fund that will go far into the future."
Antonio Jayme Gordevilla Jr., from the Handumanan 1st Ward, Bacolod Philippines South Stake, shares his experience:
"The Perpetual Education Fund is really an inspired program of the Church. After my mission, I got married in the temple with my lovely childhood sweetheart. From then on, I tried to pursue my college degree while we reared our children. In spite of my being a registered master electrician and master plumber, my small business struggled. I tried to save whatever money I could, but I had barely enough to enroll for just half of the required courses every semester.
"One of the most painful moments—one I cannot forget—was when I was not getting enough business and had to borrow some money to pay my tuition. One day I stood in line to pay the cashier for tuition, knowing that my wife told me before I left home that morning that we were running out of milk for our third baby and food for dinner. With tears in my eyes, I turned back without paying tuition and went on my way home.
"I learned about the PEF from the local LDS employment resource center. Unfortunately, because I was over the age limit, I did not qualify for a PEF loan. I applied again and was surprised that it was approved. At age 41, I graduated from the University of San Jose-Recoletos with a degree in civil engineering. The knowledge I gained with my education is a key that has unlocked a lot of opportunities.
"I don't know what words to use to express my appreciation to the people who are responsible for making my PEF loan possible."

The reception at the hotel as well as the staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much. The truffels menu served on Sunday was excellent. We will come back! The truffels market in the old town is spectacular.
We really enjoyed our stay. We are a not so quiet choir from Sweden and I think we really created lots of work for the staff but they remained patient and gave us fabulous service - always with a smile. And the view can not be explained by words.

This week its the Bourjois effet 3D lip gloss, £7.99 in shade 51. I got this from superdrug about 2 weeks ago and I have worn nothing else since. I have been looking for an everyday gloss for some time now however the drugstore ones tend to be a bit too glittery and sticky. These caught my eye as they were not as glittery, they only have a small amount of shimmer in them and there are some like this one which has no glitter or shimmer particles at all. I loved the colour too, I did try to swatch it for you but because of the light you cold hardly see it. it is a lovely sheer nude pink and... it smells of love hearts too!! it looks great on its own or over a nude lipstick just to add a bit more shine. It also says it offers 8hr moisture, and even though I find I do have to re-apply through the day it is moisturising. It does not dry my lips out at all and its very comfy to wear too.
This was my favourite colour at the time however there are some other really nice nudes I will also try, it will suit anybody and is perfect for everyday as it just adds a little extra colour and shine. What is your everyday lip gloss?
P.s Hopefully I will be getting a new camera this weekend so I will be able to take better pictures for you :) im so excited, so if I do I will do I post at the weekend!

"All of Twice Shy's T-shirts have a random fortune sewn into the sleeve and many of the designs have subtle political messages (or not so subtle). The biggest statement they make, however, is with the fabric they've chosen to use…." (Read the rest of the article here)
[Via Cool Hunting]
Cool idea. I really love the whole fortune cookie aspect when it's used in something other than a fortune cookie. It makes every single item unique in its own way. I just realized last week that Kit-Kat bars have random fortunes on them as well. My brother claims that it's been like that for a long long time, but I'm not sure I buy that.

Manchester United's UEFA Youth League coach Nicky Butt has talked up the "massive potential" of the club's forgotten summer signing Saidy Janko.
The 17-year-old right back joined the club for a reported fee of £700k on transfer deadline day, a deal that drifted under the radar as United finalised a £27.5m for Marouane Fellaini.
The former FC Zurich starlet is yet to join up with his new club but having impressed against United's youth ranks during a summer tournament his coaches are already greatly impressed with the youngster's burgeoning ability.
"He's not available at the minute because we're waiting for international clearance. It could take time - weeks or months - we're not sure yet," the former United midfielder Butt told the club's official website.
"The important thing with Saidy was getting him signed up and having him training to get his fitness up and his potential out there because he has got massive potential."
The Switzerland under-19 international played for FC Zurich against United's young hopefuls this summer in the Blue Stars FIFA Youth Cup and his physical and technical attributes quickly impressed Butt and the club's Under-21 manager Warren Joyce as he helped his side secure a 0-0 draw en route to winning the competition.
"He played against us in the Blue Stars tournament and stood out straight away," Butt continued.
"Warren and I watched him a couple of times over there and when you see a player like him with his physical ability at a young age and ability with a football, it was a no brainer really.
"We were just lucky with the timing as we were there and he was playing against us and was available to get. Although it was a bit of hard work to do it, we've got him and it's just a no brainer because he has fantastic potential."
Janko is likely to join United's other low key summer signing Guillermo Varela in the club's youth ranks when the move is finally sanctioned.
The 20-year-old Uruguayan has started all three of United's Under-21 Premier League games this season at right back following his move from Penarol earlier in the summer.

I guess with Apple's trying to do is create other options for consumers write a smaller ... version of a tablet PC it to take place this travel it ... so and ... and the funny how we are seeing a lot more habits of the common different sizes of oil prices and ... and for some from earlier this year in July grew loans that Nexus seven ... which is the seventeen says and the price is much lower than ... the I pad ... it starts at the time hundred and ninety nine ... dollars ... and also last month on Amazon ... unveiled its ... latest model is the time ... a keen on Kindle Fire ... tablets in them ... that sit this one about two of the one to one fifty nine which is consider reels the steeper the case as an enchanting and competitor is how Lyonnaise competitors doing in terms of ... smaller tablet on expending taking away market share from Apple ... I'm Apple still is quite dominant in that haven't marketed ... on late last year and had me in the sixty percent of the market and on ... but this year it's getting awfully the market is different and more crowded ... and God ... in a lot of some other um ... other ... Unum's ... rivals are seeing opportunities in the smaller size market as well ... and also in on ... those of lower prices ... so on some analysts think that that you know this smaller tablet would help Apple ... I kind of defend the known its market share and ... to make the most competitive ... and Deena as the content makers are firing up the assembly lines are being made now any idea what will see this I think ... I can ... right um so we've been reporting on this of this section of the first time we heard about this ... um smaller tablet and on earlier we heard bout of ... suppliers are preparing for that and now we hear ... mass production has started ... of course I've felt soo Apple to ... decide when exactly to launch this bought ... us some um ... other websites like all things the has reported that Tom ... you know they they planned to do MBO this new ... smaller cabinet this month later this month ... but um ... we need to see what happens in and he had with the launch will be interesting to see how it has an ever in a crowded space right now thanks Fran much as I laugh ... I miss Chinese banks are pulling out of this year's IMF World Bank meeting ... joining me now is reporter Dinny Nick man from Bejing okay ... so ... uncanny how the banks actually said that they're going to pull out because I mean obviously there's an escalating territorial dispute going on between Japan and China right now ... having said that they're gonna make estate men not attend because of that ... but such low that the banks themselves have and statewide in or going ... um although we have put into one executive Ed budget Chinese banking Tychy uttered inside was a lead clear ... on that this was to do with the bride and in China and ... Japan relations are the territorial dispute ... what is clear but it is that the Chinese were attending not only the IMF but a number of major financial events ... in Japan in the coming weeks ... and now the north of the big East example being that the yet the annual cycles meeting ... um so if of the organizers of the Pats have said that ICBC Bank of China ... and Agricultural Bank of China ... would enter the exhibit is and speak is in now been gnawed which is deeply interesting given that the Chinese but having increasingly your new bigger presence that ... this particular bits ... of the science on the internet so much the fundraising ... of banks like Agricole Bank of China and the call I'm not I'm no longer to sending representatives ... can present only when something like this happens in China it's under direction of the government is it not ... well I it's often difficult this I mean did you think Hermès these things the tide buying CDs car to the scene that maybe the word came down from on high and that just ... responding to the store this ... to mean that Chinese state-owned enterprise sector in the financial system in the NetEase Eugene is quite Sperling ... may conceivably you one of these banks have sought to take this May ... um she Lady of QE in response to some of the national mood ... and then everybody all the other banks felt compelled to follow their weight ... um no I think we've we have seen see most of ... your blouse roots inspired myth that sort ... of cancer at that price listings that ... carry the the the this or that the ... these territorial dispute ... may want to see their example was recently the Chinese may show logical PR decided ... that in future was going to announce the the weather for cost for the gel your islands ... on it once again ... the copy of it this ensure that this was government directed activity but that needs to see it that the fauna of the grassroots level that these ... um so that ... this this tension the territorial dispute has really captured ... of the popular give sentiment ... a considerably the banks are just acting on on their initiative ... and am taking claim to know whether that's wow that's top of that diplomatic ahead ... what ... what what's the likely impact on net pulling out of the meeting like the World Bank IMF winning ... a lot that goes on in these meetings are really on the sidelines of the time ... who I've that the main being the most important thing about the IMF meeting that ... is what happens on the into governmental level ... and Chinese official Chinese government officials ... about the decibel knowledge of still attending ... um so yet the banks themselves would only ever have a small role ... that the significance of pieces of Turner's been trying to present itself ... as a more important by airing the national financial markets and the economy in recent needs ... um ... and the idea that your Chinese financial institutions ... who did present themselves as being private and being independent institutions ... can respond in this white discussion of the big political issue ... I made that does that and ... I say to sell or I guess it does it ... take to a certain extent ... it's couldn't creates credibility obey credibility ... as as global prize in a not market ... and cake thanks Fran that's changing us from being chain ... coming up after the break Singapore's property market keeps on rising ... is this grant is expected to slow over the next two years according to aid in the Asian development Bank ... earlier I spent in chief economist and the Indy me saying aam me ... about what role in particular time as slowdown in growth in China ... is how it's impacting other Asian economies ... Ms ... country folk who voted to school don't use much affected by this effect this but I mean the truth that the simpleton ... and Paula some country like China which is a must fiscal room in my room to ... be a ... if they want to use vehicles prospect of employment they have launched an initiative to you ... but the Christian use those to you know the ... deal focused internally grow by seven point seven percent this year ... and is simple to submit rule is a Christian ... that she you cannot expect that the time I was thinking that with with easy closely linked to some Aldous Modano Chinese economy ... is the natural adjustment to mold on them so soon will pass ... analysts was the consequence of the openness choices ... best two years they have been taking the Ameican fiscal policies ... so maybe the ... Christian is that with that they have to post often costs ... more portly have to focus more forty two pools ... and satisfied with the seventy percent mostly ... on the other hand there are many odd though I addition economists at this moment ... of it done that pretty much in emissions to an ...

Korea's Kospi musical gone from sleeping six to two point seven ... so the the station coaches test the coupon ... to tell it sold on all advance economies as old as China ... and the other hand the impact of Chinese food onto ASEAN economies ... is this too has to stand ... okay so actually you think things could actually get worse for some of the Asian economy ... I think I would say worse but the only known in China is pretty important or you can have a quick measure the impact but don't you know I keep it to use some kind though ... like Spain she of policy from now on ... the need to beat this ... and I was so awesome countries ... as those who support and whom to my new buddies ... and that they are now ... that small but that is ... on now on ... the chaos downs on Tuesday that it will focus of fifteen ... and though Indonesia on recent issue of the US so on ... and kept going for Sportingbet investment coming to Indonesia ...
