When we last left our heroes Michael (A. Michael Baldwin) and Reggie (Reggie Bannister) in Phantasm III, they were still battling the sinister Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), the mysterious, dimension-traveling funeral director with a penchant for stealing souls. There was much revealed in Phantasm III, including the fact the Michael had one of the deadly spheres in his head, and that his brother Jody (Bill Thornbury) was now a being that could transform himself into a sphere. Honestly, none of it made a much sense, but the third film was entertaining enough, and it seemed like Coscarelli actually had a plan, so diehard fans of the series--or "phans" as they call themselves--were willing to overlook quite a bit. And the reason they were willing to overlook the fact that Coscarelli raised more questions in Phantasm III than he answered was the undying hope that he would at least make some semblance of an effort to explain things in the next movie.
The fact that there were so many unanswered questions in the third film, and that none of those questions are answered with any degree of satisfaction, is part of what makes Phantasm IV such a frustrating disappointment. As the film starts off, Michael is on the run, either fleeing the Tall Man, or chasing after him, or maybe both. Who knows? Reggie, who was last seen in the clutches of the Tall Man finds himself released, as the nefarious sucker of souls tells him that even though he is doomed, it is not yet his time to die. So, Reggie hops in his Hemicuda, and takes off after Michael, who is hanging out in the desert, either hiding from the Tall Man, waiting for the Tall Man, or just trying to figure out what the hell is going on in this convoluted story. It seems that Michael is somehow developing powers of his own.
Meanwhile, Jody reappears, but it isn't certain if it is Jody, or some evil agent of the Tall Man, of just some poorly thought out plot device to keep the audience totally confused. And while the confusion builds, Michael figures out how to travel through time--or is he traveling through dimensions?--where he encounters the Tall Man during the Civil War, before he became evil. Apparently, before he became the embodiment of villainy, the Tall Man was Jebediah Morningside, a kind-hearted mortician in the 1800s obsessed with inter-dimensional travel. At least that's the implication. What matters most is that after Michael encounters a non-evil Tall Man that offers him a glass of lemonade, he comes up with a plan to stop the Tall Man before he becomes the Tall Man, which only becomes even more confusing.
There's really no getting around the fact that Phantasm IV: Oblivion really isn't that good. There, I said it.
While I may not be the most diehard of phans, I certainly enjoyed the first three films in the series quite a bit. But the first time I watched Phantasm IV, the only thing I felt was profound disappointment and confusion. I had no idea exactly what was going on and, most important, the film wasn't compelling enough that I was willing to watch it a second time to try and figure it all out. Watching it for the second time, nearly a decade later, it was still disappointing, confusing, and there was simply no denying that it wasn't even that effective as a horror film.
In the first three movies, Coscarelli effectively translated nightmares on to film, creating a world where the conventional rules of reality did not apply. These three films were all effectively entertaining in their own way, creating a surreal mix of pure creepiness with outright scares. But the same can't be said for Phantasm IV, which wanders aimlessly, meandering more often than not in a way that is seldom engaging, frequently boring and sadly deficient of scares.
More than anything, Phantasm IV is simply frustrating. It is not frustrating because Coscarelli is simply rehashing the same old stuff the way other horror franchises do, because he certainly is trying to keep things original. In fact, to his credit Coscarelli appears to have made a film that is meant to be open to interpretation by the fans. But there is such a thing as being too open to interpretation, so much so in fact that no one really knows what's going on. And what's worse, the film itself doesn't seem to know what's going on.
The best part of Phantasm IV--aside from the crowd-pleasing performances by Bannister and Scrimm, who are always fun to watch--is the way it makes use of footage that was shot for the original Phantasm film thirty years ago, but was never used. This serves as a great way of linking the two films, at least from a visual standpoint, unfortunately it never fully comes together in terms of story. The whole thing plays out as if Coscarelli wrote Phantasm IV around the existing footage from the first film, but never really stopped to consider if the movie he was writing made any sense. The end result is a film that looks like less of a cohesive story, and more like a bunch of scenes thrown together, culminating in a nonlinear horror film that never makes sense, raises even more questions, and leaves the audience feeling unsatisfied when it is all over.
Phantasm IV: Oblivion is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. The picture quality is very good and consistently clean, which is impressive given that nearly twenty-five percent of the movie is made up of footage that was two decades old. The video master is clean, the transfer is good, and there are no noticeable artifacts.
Phantasm IV: Oblivion is presented in 5.1 Dolby Surround. The audio levels are consistent, and the sound mix is good, striking a solid balance between Christopher Stone's effective music and the dialog.
Bonus Material:
Don Coscarelli, Reggie Bannister and Angus Scrimm all sit down for an audio commentary that ultimately provides the only real reason to watch Phantasm IV. All three provide interesting insights and anecdotes on the creation of this film, as well as the other three in the series. Scrimm seems to remember every detail of all the productions, and his participation makes the commentary track especially enjoyable. The audio commentary also helps to make sense of some of the more confusing elements in the film, but, and this is important, a film that is salvaged by its audio commentary is still not a film worth watching. The fact of the matter is that the only time Phantasm IV is consistently entertaining is when it is watched with the audio commentary running. A behind the scenes featurette (9 min.) shows how some of the key scenes were put together and what is listed as the "promo" basically amounts to a trailer.
Final Thoughts:
If you have never seen any of the Phantasm films, this is not the place to start. Even diehard phans of the series have trouble figuring this thing out, which means if you're one of the uninitiated, you're doomed to being confused and bored. As for the true phans, chances are either that you already have this in your collection, where it pretty much gathers dust, or you were so disappointed by it that you couldn't bring yourself to spend money on it. Either way, you really don't need to buy this disc. Rent it and listen to the audio commentary, and then call it a night.

Linda Chavey writes about how to change your lifestyle habits in order to eliminate debt.
Do you want to do something great for your kids? Create positive, lifestyle habits by modeling a healthy, debt-free lifestyle. They too can learn to be debt-free and enjoy the freedom that being debt-free brings to them.
Think about this scenario:
A single mother has several children and supports herself by the welfare system. The children grow up and will most likely follow in their mother's footsteps by living in public housing, living off the system, acquiring the same mindset. They would be very luck to have someone who is influencing them to succeed, helping them to change their mindset to get out of the projects.
What is the difference between this scenario and the scenario of a family/parent that teaches their children about monetary wealth? If a child grows up getting all types of toys, new clothing, things that are not needed, etc., they will perpetuate that lifestyle when they get older. They will most likely end up in credit card debt because this is what they were taught. The best thing you can do for your children is teach them financial security and how to manage money. If you start teaching children at a young age, they will absorb more of this information than if started at the teen level. But remember this: Kids usually model themselves after their parents. If you have not started financial education with your children, it is never too late to start.
I have a friend who told me a story about how his teen girls would lock themselves in the bathroom and take ridiculously long showers. He got so fed up with it that he turned the water off. They said that they didn't finish washing their hair, etc. and he said they learned very quickly that they couldn't take 30-40 minute showers. His daughter is now living on her own and she puts a timer in the bathroom and sets it for 5 minutes. When is goes off, she is out! This man said to me, "Why didn't she do that when she lived with me?" I told him, "Because she was a teenager and they most likely won't listen (they absorb information but do not follow it)." I also told him that he did a great job because she is doing what he told her now! He should be proud! This is fantastic! Teens do not always listen when originally told about what is best for them. It is by experience that they will hopefully put this into practice.

Stoicism: One Last Try
Can we avoid pain without avoiding pleasure?
I consider it fairly undeniable that Stoicism does a good job at minimizing pain. In other words, a proper Stoic is indifferent to any outside event that befalls her, by definition. Now you might claim that some pain ought not to be avoided - losing a loved one, for instance - and I think the root of that claim is a belief that if you avoid pain, you necessarily avoid pleasure. Can we construct a Stoicism where we can enjoy pleasures like sex and at the same time cultivate indifference to pain? I don't think so.
Rousseau said famously (I can't find the exact quote, so feel free to correct me) that without property, there is no harm. What this means, roughly, is that harm can be exactly defined as damage to property - if I pick your pocket, I'm stealing your property, and if I break your leg, I'm damaging your most fundamental possession: your body. To enjoy pleasures like, for example, good health, we need to accept our body as part of our property. When our body improves, our property improves, and we are made happy. The Stoic way of avoiding pain is accepting that our body should not be considered our property, since it can be damaged by outside forces. When we do this, we necessarily prevent ourselves from enjoying improvements to that property.
Should we avoid pain at all?
So I can't see a way in which we can avoid pain without being a Stoic and avoiding pleasure. However, you might think that, on balance, the pleasure of life is worth the pain! If, looking back, you can honestly say that your life has been overall positive, then I can hardly argue that you should be a Stoic. Epictetus would say that you're a base animal, driven by urges, but honestly I wouldn't go that far. On my view, Stoicism is for people who consider the level of pain in their life to be greater than the level of pleasure - like much philosophy, it serves simultaneously as explanation and consolation.
I'd personally side with Schopenhauer and say that pain in the world outweighs pleasure, and that if it doesn't for you (or me), then that's either momentary luck, delusion, or an artifact of extreme economic privilege (or all three). Still, if you happen to be lucky or rich, then I don't want to harsh your buzz, man - Stoicism isn't for you. Basically, the choice of whether you should avoid pain or not is an entirely subjective choice: there's no objective reason for everyone to embrace Stoic principles.
Are you already practicing stoicism?
Finally - still with me? - I'd like to argue that you're probably already to some extent a Stoic. Western society has been influenced heavily by the Bible, of course, and as Ivan mentioned in the comments earlier, the book of Job contains some pretty heavy proto-Stoicism. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble? Anyone who believes that 'such is life' or 'what will be, will be' is practicing Stoic principles on a small scale. Moreover, anyone who makes a conscious decision not to 'be a whiner' - a sick person, for instance, who pretends to be well because she doesn't want to be the kind of person who complains - is approaching Stoicism. The claim that the Stoics are making is that this kind of small-scale behaviour can be extrapolated into a large-scale ethical philosophy - and while they might be wrong, there's at least a little intuitive weight behind them.

I still don't think I'm seeing why we can't "enjoy pleasures like sex and at the same time cultivate indifference to pain."ReplyDelete
I definitely acknowledge ways that grasping for pleasure, and depending upon pleasure, can set one up of for pain. But aren't there ways to avoid such grasping or dependence or attachment without avoiding the pleasure itself? Can't one move toward attitudes like detachment or gratefulness without eschewing pleasure?
It might not be easy, and it might not have the theoretical elegance of all-out Stoicism. But it seems entirely possible to me.
Well, Ivan, if it seems possible to you, then go for it and tell me what it's like! To me, 'detachment' basically means 'eschewing pleasure' - but like I said in my post, I'd love to find a better definition.ReplyDelete
Here's a clear way of putting it: how can you value pleasure while not de-valuing the lack of pleasure? It's not some theoretical elegance I'm after, it's simple practicality.
I'm still baffled about why anyone would want to be detached from what life has to dole out.ReplyDelete
Vivid colors (or colours, depending on one's locale) are far preferable to shades of gray (or grey depending again on one's locale), at least to my mind.
Pain avoidance, it seems to me, is really the avoidance of one of the great teachers of life's lessons. Perhaps my memory is overly selective, but I can't recall a painful period that didn't end up helping me to understand something important about what it means to exist on this planet.
Pied Cow, how beautifully Panglossian! I thought we were all nihilists like IOZ here - you surprise me.ReplyDelete
Seriously though, sometimes the same lesson is taught over and over, far past the point where anything useful remains to be learned. Ask a young black man in a terrible neighborhood how much he learnt from the latest episode of police brutality.
If the ghetto is going to be our assumption, then I really don't think that being a stoic would help much in any event.ReplyDelete
If I were in that circumstance, I'd probably become an adherent of the Nation of Islam or something even more militant, something that would help me to channel my anger and fear without asking me to give up my rage toward the people to whom it should properly be directed.

The image on the screen flickered and then disappeared. "Sorry, sir," Walter said, popping up from the projector. "I think the bulb just died. I'll be right back."
"Take your time." Jack half-wished he could trade places with the man. He felt as if he'd been in this room for days. "And the next contestant is?"
"Luke Girardi. Twenty years old, working on his Masters in physics, constructed a functional rail gun while in high school."
"Another geek?"
"Captain Haley suggested him, sir. She met him at a presentation for wormhole physics." Walter scurried into the room at the end of Sam's defense and began working on the projector.
Jack rubbed the back of his neck. "Haley does have good instincts. Can we bring him in?"
The projector chose that moment to come to life, and Walter helpfully put up a picture of Luke Girardi. The five of them stared at the familiar face in silence.
"Moving right along," Jack finally managed.

The unique aspect of this was that you could personalise everything yourself, from the front covers, down to adding your own personal important dates.
Here's a brief breakdown of the steps we took & some tips along the way, for when you make your own personal planner :)
- Picking the size of your diary! There are 4 sizes to pick from: small, medium, large and A5
-Making the front cover was definitely the most fun part and the only things to keep in mind was that you should make sure your front cover is high quality (prevent pixelation when printing), and also we advise you to not hold back from the vibrancy/color of your front cover (we will explain below)
-Picking your diary's inside layout, how the week spread would look like, what to have on the bottom etc!
-Deciding what to put on the back pages (3 options), we decided to go for the 2014 overview, sudoku, ruled and square lines.
- Picking accessories for your planner; we went with the blue ruler, elastic closure and the plastic sleeve.
Didn't want to make this post a scrollingfest with all the pictures, so here is a slideshow for your viewing convenience :)
Upon receiving the planner, it was placed in a secure cardboard box. What stood out was how sturdy and durable the planner was, mainly from the hard plastic protecting the front and back.
The pages inside were thick and really well made.
Everything from the layout, to color scheme, and to the cute little reminders they add in, eg on Dec 31, it has a little reminder for you to recycle the planner and be eco friendly :)
As much as we love the planner, we did notice that our custom front and back cover was reduced in terms of quality and color vibrancy; it's not a big issue, but we just wished we made it more vibrant so it would've printed just right
click to enlarge!:
Overall Thoughts:
The concept of making a planner personalised is a great way to be able to make everything accordingly to your tastes. We've never been able to find a planner where we liked every aspect of it; and that's where Personal Planner comes into play.
Presentation, layout, spacing and the quality are some of the key factors that we look out for when picking a planner, and this planner ticks all the boxes.
p.s keep in mind we are picky stationary people.
Giveaway is run from 10th March (today) til 31st March 11:59pm AEST
Winner would be contacted via email; please respond within 48hours, otherwise a new winner would be chosen.

Online technologies connect learners across great distances and link them with those back home when they travel. The use of communication technologies can change the pace and timing of educational interactions: whether enabling bursts of informal communication, slower and more reflective responses, or the sending of messages at unconventional but convenient moments. The physical environments of education are infused with personal technologies and ubiquitous information, so even how people communicate face-to-face can be re-shaped. Those developments require a deeper understanding of the physical and temporal nature of education in a digital age. We wish to better understand the roles of physical location in learning, including in online distance education; how technology supports people during difficult transitions in their lives; how people integrate and separate the time spent engaging with formal programmes with their other professional and personal commitments; and how institutions provide spaces that support new forms of education. In short we focus on how people appropriate and combine the different spaces, times and technologies of their lives to accomplish their objectives.
Our work on mobility, time and space investigates issues like:
- How can we understand learning, education and development as dialectically related to mobility, time and space?
- How might we support education across the spaces provided by technology including the physical, the digital and the augmented?
- How can technology offer particular support to international students and others in unfamiliar locations?
- How can we understand the role of time in online interactions between different people—including the apparently synchronous and asynchronous?
- How can technology contribute to how people learn from particular experiences and then transfer that learning to other settings?
- How can technology help us to link informal learning with episodes of institutionalised, more formal learning?
- How can technology help people in 'transition' between contexts: such as in and out of employment, or between different forms of education?
- How can technology support people across their lifespan?

Belarus President suggests setting up joint ventures in Indonesia to export to regional market
Belarus suggests setting up joint ventures in Indonesia for the Asia-Pacific market. The day before President Alexander Lukashenko stated this at a meeting with the Minister of Defense of Indonesia. According to the President, our country will consider any initiatives. Belarus intends to develop cooperation with Indonesia not only in military technology, but also in the civilian sectors of the economy. Soon intergovernmental commissions will step up their efforts to promote the dialogue. Heads of groups will identify several fundamentally new cooperation areas.
Today the visit continues as the parties take a tour of a number of Belarusian defense industry companies.
Russia may raise retirement age to 65
Russia's Finance Ministry submitted to the government proposals concerning the reform of the pension system. One of the points suggests gradually raising the retirement age to 65. Today, women in Russia retire at 55, and men at 60. Among the suggested measures is also denial of pension (or at least its fixed portion) to working pensioners. We are talking about early retirement for those who have such a right due to hazardous nature of the job but continue to work. All changes will be discussed with experts, NGOs and trade unions.
"Viva, Rovar" bicycle festival to be held in Minsk on April 30
Minsk bicycle fans open the season. Tomorrow Minsk will host the 2nd "Viva Rovar" bicycle festival. Participation is open to anyone. A special raffle with fun prizes and souvenirs will be held for the officially registered participants.

This week has been manic, work has been hell (as usual), but preparing for christmas and packing my bags has left little time for my mat. Last night I found an hour so managed up to Mari B and did some backbends. It felt good to practice. Hopefully I will find some time tonight for my mat, though my mind is occupied with trying to escape this cold country for warmer climes.
Pema Chodron wrote about the Wisdom of no escape, well the fog is still shrouding Heathrow, there are 50,000 travellers who have not escaped, I just hope I am not added to that statistic tomorrow night.
Its the last day at work, they still want more out the door, even though its not going to go anywhere. There's no christmas spirit here, just the clock counting down the hours and minutes to 4pm.
I hope my next blog is from somewhere warm, where I can practice and be happy.

Kim Lenz / The Ghost Wolves
August 29, 2015 @ 9:00 pm
It's a full moon. It's a Saturday night rock party. This one's going to be a scream. See you here.
Kim Lenz
"…Danger cookie with rockabilly strut and Rollergirl cool"
Rolling Stone
"Backed by dawn-of-rock guitar riffs lifted verbatim from Elvis sideman Scotty Moore's playbook, Lenz sings her rockabilly odes with the sort of randy sass that would have been considered unladylike in the King's court. Lenz…plays the honky-tonksex kitten as she warbles ditties like, "Stick Em Up Honey… Bottom Line: Lusty rockabilly."
People Weekly
The Ghost Wolves
"They play stomping blues-garage-punk possessed by who knows what kind of demon…their music has just the right overdose of voodoo punk…"
Rolling Stone Italia
"Garage duo The Ghost Wolves are one of the most fun rock n' roll bands you could ever hope to see. Guitar/Vocalist Carley Wolf has an effervescent energy befitting her raucous axemanship, anchored by the steady bump & backing vocals of drummer/husband Jonathan. The pair's chemistry keeps them in sync as musicians and having fun as performers. Of course, the family wouldn't be complete without their real-life ghost white wolves and tour companions Polar & Timber … who you might just meet for yourself if you catch this awesome band live."
Sonic Vault Austin, Top #25 Bands of 2013

As I mentioned back in the beginning of March, ANA was changing their award structure as of April, which I thought wouldn't change the value their awards provide too drastically. Unfortunately when I was making that assumption I was referring to the ANA award chart, meaning awards on ANA metal only, and NOT partner awards. The partner awards have been devalued significantly, as I found out the hard way.
So on Monday, March 31 I called ANA and wanted to book an award ticket for two people in First Class JFK-ZRH-DXB-FRA-JFK on Swiss and Lufthansa, an award that's a great value at 120,000 miles per person. ANA bases their awards on the distance flown and not regions like other carriers do, so this itinerary being 13,766 miles on an award with a maximum mileage of 14,000 was a good way to maximize miles. The agent wasn't professional at all and beyond that totally clueless ("How do you spell Dubai?"). Furthermore she repeatedly told me there was F availability, then put me on hold, and came back to say it either wasn't available or say "That portion will be in Business Class, that's fine, right?" Overall just a VERY frustrating experience, and of course this was an American agent without the slightest hint of Japanese in her.
Once we have an itinerary finally sorted out she puts me on hold and says "OK, that award will be 140,000 miles per person, you're 40,000 short." Obviously I was shocked since I really did my research on this, but as it turned out ANA implemented the new rules starting March 25, despite all of the public information stating April. This really annoyed the heck out of me, especially since I was very excited about a potential trip to Dubai and had hotels and destinations all planned out, not to mention I spent over an hour on the phone before she mentioned the new rules were already implemented! There was nothing I could do about it, so I just totally gave up and promised myself never to transfer miles to ANA again. If only their phone service were as good as their inflight service…
If it's any consolation I did manage to get my mom an F award TPA-CLT(US F)-MUC(LH F)-BLQ(LH C)-FRA(LH C)-MCO(LH F) for May, which was 120,000 miles. The thing that sucks about awards booked with non-US airlines is the "taxes" (what a crock of crap!), which added up to $315!!! Of course it's not a bad deal considering it's an F award, but still not nearly as good as UA, where I would have certainly paid less than $100. I wish that they would at least not lie to us and call these stupid fees "taxes," because I'm pretty darn sure the US airlines don't get any special exemptions in this regard. Ultimately I guess the outcome was fine− my mom is really excited about the trip she gets to make to Italy with her sister (who lives in Germany), and I get the satisfaction of knowing she'll get there in style.
That being said I guess the moral of the story is not to earn miles with AMEX which go to the Membership Rewards program. While they do allow for flexibility, their US air partners aren't very attractive as far as mileage redemption goes and all of their international partners charge ridiculous surcharges. I think AA miles are the way to go, where miles not only count towards lifetime status but are also actually worth something.

School closures due to weather was something that rarely happened when I was growing up in Southern California, but on those rare occasions that the city shut down due to a dusting of snow I was thrilled…..I slept in, lounged around in my pjs, built blanket forts and tried my best to make a snowman out of slushy dirty snow.
"What's wrong?" my husband asked, as I let out a big sigh. I had just heard the weatherman say that the roads would be even worse than they were today and it would be best for all to stay inside tomorrow. "I just want to go back to work!!" . Geez, two days inside and cabin fever is finally taken over. "well, you can always work in the other room and organize it….that's work" he said with a sly smile. That wasn't my idea of work or fun. "yeah I plan on organizing my closet in a bit" I told him. I really have to find a place for my sweaters considering our kitties enjoy snuggling up against them and on some occasions knock them off the shelf.
This is day two of being homebound due to the weather (day 5 of my long weekend) and icy roads, our backyard is covered in white……noooo not snow, sleet…..ice….slippery ice!! I wish it was snow, there would have been a family of snowmen decked out in scarves and hats in our yard by now.
I have read two books, cleaned the fridge, played countless games of fetch with Lily, watched hours of the History channel with the hubby and learned all about the Men who Built America, Pinterested my brains out, I'm craving chocolate….brownies (from a box) but due to the stupid icy roads I can't go buy a mix….and before you say "just make some from scratch" I don't have any coco, but I DO have hot coco mix ( I wonder if that would work) but that's for later tonight when I have a desire for some Baileys and Hot Coco. I washed all the laundry and then some, caught up on my reality t.v shows, still didn't learn my lesson and watched a few Ancient Aliens shows with the hubby and although the things those scientist say are a bit far-fetched I still wish they would just stop showing pics of those green bug-eyed aliens……but what's even worse is this guys hair!! I'm all about volume but this is a little much.
"I think I figured this whole time travel thing out" I said to my husband ….. he looked amused and listened intently. "So they (scientist and big hair guy) claim that we were visited eons ago by aliens who equipped our people with tools to make the pyramids and strange carvings in stones that NO ONE can figure out how it was done…..but it HAS to be aliens,they say……but maybe Seldon and Leonard did discover time travel, they went back with our tools now to the time of the great pyramids and showed them how it was done…but they couldn't leave any evidence behind because that would alter the world as we know it, clearly makes sense!!" he laughed and turned the channel, to something more entertaining….The Big Bang Theory!!
It's very clear that I need to go back to work and I hope that the sun comes out and melts all this stuff away but like my hubby and the weatherman has said over and over again……it may melt but it will just ice up when the temps are at freezing. Sigh…. "I just have things that need to get done and I miss work", I mumbled.
hmmm….I wonder if I can find a recipe for brownies but tweak it a little bit with smashed chocolate chip cookies that it would taste good? I'm seriously on a mission to curb this craving!!

News story source: www.asbestos.net
The story below is an example of how water damage can bring on more issues than mold alone. If asbestos fibers are disturbed, they can cause serious health issues. Contact EnviroVantage for more information.
Massachusetts Residents Forced from Apartments Due to Asbestos Concerns
Residents of the Royal Crest Estates in North Andover, MA have been relocated to the La Quinta Inn and Suites due to asbestos issues at the complex. The harsh winter in the Northeast has led to numerous cases of water damage from rooftop snow and ice dams. Royal Crest resident Chantel Tejeda was asleep in her bedroom when she heard an area of her living room ceiling crash to the ground. She was told by the facility's management team that she would need to stay at the La Quinta Inn and Suites for two days. When she learned that the stay would extend longer than the original two days, she returned her apartment to pick up more clothes. Ms. Tejeda was surprised to find that she was not allowed to enter her apartment because there was asbestos removal taking place.
Most of the asbestos problems at the Royal Crest Estates concern popcorn and acoustic ceilings that contain low levels of asbestos. Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral fiber, is a known carcinogen and can cause health problems including mesothelioma and asbestosis. Before the public became aware of asbestos exposure and its potential health risks, asbestos was added to numerous building materials for its resistance to fire, heat, friction, electrical, and chemical damage.
Currently, residents from 12 Royal Crest apartments have been relocated, but there have been 78 asbestos removal projects at the 600 unit complex since January 1, 2010. While many of the residents living there are unaware of the asbestos in their homes, laws don't require the substance to be removed if it is in good condition. North Andover Health Director Susan Sawyer has said that the asbestos abatement projects have followed state code setup by the Department of Environmental Protection. There remains some anger on the side of the residents about whether damaged belongings will be covered and whether or not residents should have been informed of the asbestos prior to the removal.

Real estate investors from Asia are dramatically expanding the geographic scope as well as sector focus of their property acquisitions abroad.
According to a new study by Colliers International, Asian real estate investors are expanding the geographic scope of their acquisitions from local regional markets to OECD countries and regions in the West, including the United States, Europe and Australia.
Real estate buyers from Asia have continuously lifted their levels of outbound investment since the turn of the century, with the total investment volume rising from USD$1 billion at the outset of the 2000's to over USD$30 billion in 2013.
While a surge in global liquidity spurred by quantitative easing in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis heavily abetted outbound Asian investment, Piers Brunner, Chief Executive Officer, Asia, at Colliers International notes that other "pull" and "push" factors are also playing a critical role.
Key pull factors include the higher yields available to investors in overseas markets, the strong growth potential of convalescing economies, as well as the lure of real estate in first world countries which are stable and enjoy more transparent regulatory environments.
Push factors include efforts by governments in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore to cool down their own overheating real estate markets, as well as the loosening of overseas investment restrictions, particularly in China, enabling cash-flush members of the nouveau riche class to go on spending sprees abroad.
China is set to further dominate real estate investments outside of Asia, especially given that an increasing number of Chinese buyers are becoming more capable of and comfortable about dispatching their capital to overseas markets.
John Marasco, Managing Director Capital Markets and Investment Services, Australia, at Colliers International, points out that Chinese investors are a key factor behind the flourishing state of Australia's property market.
"Chinese buyers alone are currently spending around $5.9 billion a year on Australian property (both residential and commercial)," said Marasco. "The strong performance of Australia's property markets suggest this demand will continue to grow across a range of assets."
Terence Tang, Managing Director of Capital Markets and Investment Services, Asia, at Colliers International expects Chinese developers to expand their presence in overseas markets to order to cater to demand from local clients, employing a variety of different purchase models ranging from upfront acquisitions to joint ventures with local parties.
The sector focus of Asian property investors has also shifted since the turn of the century, drifting away an initial preoccupation with residential opportunities. Office property has emerged as the most popular sector for Asian outbound investors in the past decade, with its percentage weighting rising from 45 per cent in 2001 to 60 per cent to 2013.
"We believe the emerging trend will see more outbound investors taking on additional risks in non-traditional property sectors, such as hotels, and to commit to value-adding schemes, including conversion and development opportunities, in the secondary locations of gateway cities, where prices are more attractive than in traditional core locations," said Tang.

I came across this phenomenal video on YouTube and could not help but link it.
Michael Wesch, an assistant professor of cultural anthropology created this short video, that came into its own on January 31st 2007, and since then has been a rave all over the blogosphere and has won many awards since then. Wesch's group Digital Ethnography Working Group explores the human uses of digital technology.

Peterborough United are set to sign full back Daniel Lafferty on a permanent deal this summer. The 29 year old left sided defender was on loan at United from Sheffield United this season and is expected to sign a two year deal. Lafferty has claimed Peterborough would be the only team who could tempt him into League 1.
15 May 2019 10:47:50
Nowhere near good enough for a promotion chasing teams first choice, so only as a backup, and if the fee is near free, and wages are low.

Ex Southampton flop Emmanuel Mayuka just seen leaving Peterborough Untied. So free! Currently out of work after being released from Zamalek. Suffering weight, money and drink issues and after a few very unsuccessful spells at other clubs including Southampton scoring 0 goals set to return to England to lower leagues.

2 bits of info I've heard about Wolves.
1 - the kit supplier deal isn't finalised yet. A Puma deal is in place but they are exploring another option and may pay an escape clause in the puma deal.
2 - the club have been scouting at Peterborough so would guess we're watching Marcus Maddison.

According to Huddesfield they have had no enquiries or bids for Nahki Wells, and who's to say they will actually be prepared to sell him? I think you are jumping the gun just a bit .

Nigerian striker Kayode Odejayi is linked with a shock move to Peterborough Utd.
The striker who has been reported to be at Peterborough's training ground has already bought a flat there and hopes to add to his prolific goal scoring record while at the posh.
The fee is rumoured to be around £250,000 from Stockport as the Peterborough manager wants a pacey, skilful striker.
Odejayi has quoted that he supported Peterborough as his childhood club and expects to get the deal done in the coming week.
06 Jun 2016 20:01:28
Pacey, Skillfull, Kayode Odejayi in the same sentence don't make me laugh one of the worst "footballers" to play the game. I had the horror of watching him and his mate Onome Sodje, he couldn't cut it then, he can't cut it now. If Peterborough pay for him then Grant McCann must not have been watching the strikers when he played for us.
08 Jun 2016 20:01:19
Poor Poor Player at Plymouth.
10 Jun 2016 12:08:06

Various Professional clubs are taking a good look at Christian Assombalonga, brother of Britt Assombalonga. Chris has scored 14goals in 18 games for Waltham Abbey Non-league so far this season. How ironic that Peterborough are interested and looking to sign him in the summer!
30 Jan 2016 19:54:50
Heard Plymouth and Millwall are the favorites to get him permanently following recent trials.

Goalie, right back and right winger all to be sold.
09 Jan 2016 16:48:46
AFC Wimbledon have made a bid to sign Wrexham attacking midfielder Dominic Vose. Wimbledon have lacked a goalscoring central midfielder this season, and Neal Ardley has identified London-born Vose, who has already got into double figures for the Conference side, as the man to provide that extra attacking edge. Newport County and Cheltenham Town have also made offers for the player, but he may prefer a move back to London.
Peterborough United have had a bid for Wimbledon midfielder Jake Reeves rejected. Reeves has been integral to the Dons this season and his high energy performances have attracted a host of admirers. The Dons may look to cash in on the midfielder, as his contract expires at the end of the season.
Wimbledon have made an offer for Bristol City centre back Adam El-Abd. The former Egypt international helped Bury climb out of League Two last season. He was on loan there from the Robins, where he started last season but fell out of favour. Ironically he played his final game for City against the Dons in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. This season he was loaned out to Swindon Town where he has recently returned from and has said he will not return. The Dons hope that they can secure El-Abd for a small fee, but will face competition from a host of League One and League Two clubs, including Bury, Leyton Orient, Rochdale and Shrewsbury Town.
The Dons are also considering boosting their options in defence with the loan signing of either giant centre back Cameron Burgess from Fulham, or marauding full back Nico Yennaris from Brentford.
Wimbledon will let George Oakley and Ben Harrison leave in the next two weeks. Oakley has had injury problems, and hopes to put those behind him with a move to Aldershot. Initially on loan, with an option to sign permanently in the summer.
Harrison broke into the Dons' starting eleven last season, but has found himself confined to the development squad, with little opportunity to even sit on the bench. Harrison has asked to be allowed a short term loan spell, and a move to Sutton United should be completed very soon.
After scoring both goals in Wimbledon's FA Youth Cup win away at Newcastle United, Alfie Egan has attracted the attention of Tottenham, Southampton and one of Wimbledon's potential opponents in the next round, Chelsea.
Fulham have made a bid for Egan's under-18 teammate Will Mannion. The 17-year-old is a tall goalkeeper who is being watched by England youth team selectors, and will join an England goalkeeper training camp next week. Mannion has travelled with the Dons first team squad for several games this season, but has failed to make the bench. The young keeper has expressed his desire to stay with the Dons, and is enjoying being part of their historic Youth Cup run, but his outstanding displays have caught the attention of a whole host of Premier League sides' scouts.

Position Announcement
University of Michigan
Director of the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center
The University of Michigan, one of the great public research universities in the nation and the world, seeks an energetic leader, skilled administrator, and collaborative campus partner to serve as Director of the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center.
From the time of its founding in 1817, the University of Michigan has developed into a national model of a complex, diverse, and comprehensive institution of higher learning that supports excellence in research; provides outstanding undergraduate, graduate, and professional education; and demonstrates commitment to public service and engagement. It is one of only two institutions consistently ranked among the nation's top ten public universities. Many of its departments and professional schools are ranked among the top ten in the country. The University has an annual budget of over $7 billion and $1.3 billion in annual research expenditures. The Ann Arbor campus is located 35 miles west of Detroit, with regional campuses located in the cities of Dearborn and Flint.
The William Monroe Trotter House officially opened its doors as a Black student cultural center in 1971 and was named after publisher and civil-rights activist William Monroe Trotter. In 1981, the mission of the Trotter House was expanded to serve all students and, in 2004, its name was changed to the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center. Today, the Trotter Center is a vibrant hub that welcomes and serves all members of the campus community. In the fall of 2018, the Trotter Center will move to a new, specially designed 20,000-square-foot building located at the heart of the University's central campus. Its new location will be emblematic of the important role the Trotter Center plays in the life of the institution. The new Trotter Center will serve as an iconic and programmatic symbol for all students, as an open and inclusive facility that fosters intercultural engagement and strengthens connections between and among communities, as a supportive home and environment to those committed to social justice and diversity, and as a space that celebrates the tradition and history of the Trotter Center and the activism of students.
The Director of the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center will be responsible for developing, directing, and administering all operations, programming, services, and resources that advance the mission of the Trotter Center and the core values of the University of Michigan and its Division of Student Life. Characteristic duties and responsibilities include: envisioning the next era of excellence and innovation for the Trotter Center and working with students, faculty, staff, senior administrators, alumni, and other stakeholders to establish support and capacity to implement this vision; partnering with academic and administrative units to implement initiatives that enhance student development, multicultural education, and campus climate; working primarily with students and student organizations and with other internal and external constituencies to provide activities, programs, and intellectual exchanges that engage diverse perspectives and identities, promote cultural competence, enrich campus climate, and foster a culture of mutual respect and inclusion; serving as a mentor and advocate for students, providing direct support and connecting them with the many resources available at the institution; working creatively with others to anticipate and provide constructive responses to challenging student and community issues; overseeing facility operations, marketing, reservation processes, maintenance, security, and other functions; managing the unit's budget and supporting fundraising and grant development efforts; and coordinating the assessment and continuous improvement of operations, programs, and services. Reporting to the Associate Vice President for Student Life, the Director will supervise two full-time staff and approximately 30 graduate and undergraduate student staff and interns. The University of Michigan is actively engaged in a capital campaign designed to increase resources for major diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, including the Trotter Center.
Minimum requirements include a master's degree and five years of related experience; a doctorate is preferred, as is eight or more years of progressive experience in student life, multicultural education, and/or a related field. The University of Michigan is seeking a thoughtful, energetic, and highly collaborative administrator who demonstrates a passion for working with students and helping them flourish on campus, is adept at both strategy and operations, and has a track record of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education. The position requires an experienced leader of people and programs who communicates effectively, manages resources wisely, acts with the highest degree of integrity, and inspires the confidence and trust of others. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the commitment and capacity to serve as a caring adviser and mentor for students, particularly those from underserved and underrepresented groups, and the interpersonal skills, diplomacy, political savvy, and sensitivity to engage effectively with all constituencies, build consensus for change, and thrive in a highly complex and decentralized environment.
Review of applications will begin November 27, 2017 and will continue until the position is filled. A resume and cover letter explaining how the applicant meets the qualifications specified in this announcement may be submitted via the Spelman Johnson website at www.spelmanjohnson.com/open-positions. Confidential inquiries and nominations for this position may be emailed to James M. Norfleet at firstname.lastname@example.com. Applicants needing reasonable accommodation to participate in the application process should contact Spelman Johnson at 413-529-2895.

The 2013 Heatwave in SE Queensland
By Mike Williamson
12 January 2013
There has been much comment on our summer heatwave. This prompted a search for the history of temperatures in S.E. Queensland.
The longest continuous record of local temperatures was from Amberley: the data set was begun in late 1941 and is still active.
See: http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_nccObsCode=36&p_display_type=dataFile&p_startYear=&p_c=&p_stn_num=040004
The record shows that the highest monthly mean maximum temperature for the month of January in each year was way back in 1942 and has not been surpassed since. (See Figure 1)
The linear trend for the years 1942 to 2012, shows is a slight rise in the temperature trend. This is not surprising as the Earth's temperatures have had several rising phases ever since the last Ice Age ended over 10,000 years ago.
The Amberley data shows that the highest mean maximum January temperatures appear to be fairly similar when they periodically occur. However the lower mean maximums appear to be creating the very slight upward trend.
This does not then appear to support the man-made global warming hypothesis since if carbon dioxide is retaining heat in the atmosphere it should do so at all temperature levels, whether high or low. If carbon dioxide is causing the heating, why is carbon dioxide rising steadily whereas temperatures are not?
A Short Observation on Bushfires
Grass, peat, leaves and timber all ignite at temperatures well above 40oC. Even highly inflammable, easily ignitable, kerosene needs a spark exceeding 200oC for combustion to be initiated. Therefore heat wave temperatures cannot cause fires. Something else ignited them. Once ignited, hot temperatures and high winds make the fires more severe, but something else ignited them.

House to let in Spain - SP004837
- Bedrooms
- 1
- Sleeps
- 2
On your Spanish holidays, you will see that Spain is a fabulously diverse country rich in history and culture. For your holidays in Spain you will have the choice of staying near the stunning mountain scenery and peaceful green valleys of the north or, from your holiday villa in Spain, the sun-baked beaches and lively resorts of the south.
Character, climate and geography are so different between Spain's regions that you are sure to find a holiday destination in Spain that is exactly right for you. The weather in southern Spain is renowned for being warm and sunny which makes it an ideal holiday destination all year round.
Spanish flamenco, bullfights and tapas are particularly famous and of course each region has its own individual cultural traditions. Parts of Spain are known for their futuristic architecture yet it is also a country that boasts many old monuments in beautiful towns and cities such as Granada's 'Alhambra'.
The Spanish 'Costas' provide a playground for watersports enthusiasts or sun lovers alike and have plenty of attractions for families. If you are a golf lover, you will not be disappointed as there are many top class golf courses in Spain, one of the most famous being La Manga. The northern coast of Spain boasts some beautiful beaches too and they are much less crowded than the ones in the south. The northern regions are still relatively undiscovered and are full of traditional, sleepy Spanish villages which tourists stumble across whilst exploring the beautiful, lush green countryside and the Picos mountains.
During your holiday in Portugal you will discover a huge coastline packed with top class resorts, fine beaches, many fishing villages, some of the most fascinating cities imaginable, towering mountains and a stunningly beautiful countryside. Portugal is a land of almost overwhelming holiday options. Add to this a gloriously sunny climate, plus the natural warmth and friendliness of the Portuguese themselves, and you have a destination that is ideal for just about everyone. Portugal is one of the oldest countries in all Europe. Outstanding monuments, castles and churches meet the futuristic new buildings and technologies.
The natural advantages of a sunny country with such diverse geographic features have turned Portugal into a chosen destination for many holidaymakers. There are famous golf courses, quaint holiday resorts and an exciting nightlife. It offers modern tourism facilities. Apart from the wealth of available watersports facilities, the marinas of Vilamoura and Lagos deserve special mention.
