Andy Murray fought with gritted teeth and weary limbs to hold onto his number one dreams and reach his first final at the ATP World Tour Finals.
Four days after he took three hours and 20 minutes to defeat Kei Nishikori, Murray was on court for 18 minutes longer in a 5-7 7-6 (7/5) 7-6 (11/9) victory over fourth seed Milos Raonic - breaking the tournament record for longest match for the second time.
Raonic twice broke Murray when he served for the match and saved three match points but could not take the one chance that came his way in a remarkable deciding tie-break that eventually went the way of the home favourite.
Murray cut a fatigued figure throughout and looked exhausted by the end, and the question must now be how much energy he will have left for Sunday's final.
Should Djokovic defeat Nishikori in the other semi-final, the fight for the year-end top ranking would come down to the last match of the tour season for the first time.
Murray has at least set a personal record of 23 straight victories, one better than his summer streak, but only a 24th will bring the golden end his remarkable season surely deserves.
Murray said: "It was obviously unbelievably tough. I had to fight very hard to get over the line. It was tough going into a tie-break having been broken twice serving for match.
"It was frustrating but a pretty amazing tie-break. I just managed to get there in the end.
"It was an amazing atmosphere, the longer the match went on the louder and better the crowd get. This is what we play for, for matches like this."
Murray admitted he will struggle to produce his best in the final, adding: "Obviously I'm tired. I've played so much tennis the last few months and long matches this week. I'll give it my best shot tomorrow with what I have."
Having effectively handed Murray the number one ranking by withdrawing ahead of their semi-final in Paris two weeks ago, Raonic now had the chance to deal a hammer blow to the Scot's hopes of keeping it.
This was the pair's sixth meeting this year and the big-serving Canadian was looking for his first win, but he came mighty close at both the Australian Open and Queen's.
Raonic, who had not beaten the Scot since 2014, headed into contest optimistic that the high stakes for Murray could work in his favour this time.
Murray had played his best tennis of the week in beating Stan Wawrinka on Friday and began in similar fashion but Raonic, who has shown no sign of the thigh injury he suffered in Paris, soon started to exert pressure.
Murray saved a break point in the third game and then three more in a long game at 4-4 where he was also given a time violation by umpire Damien Dumusois.
His resistance cracked two games later as a weary double fault gave Raonic the chance to serve for the set, which he took on his third set point.
The world number one roused himself at the start of the second set and created his first two break points of the match only to make routine errors on both.
And when he dumped a forehand into the net to trail 2-1 in the next game, he was in a deep hole. At least he could take heart from the Queen's final, when he fought back from a set and 3-0 down.
This time his recovery was less down to his own brilliance than a lapse from his opponent, who played a dreadful game and was broken to love.
That gave Murray and the crowd the lift they needed and the top seed nearly made it two breaks in a row only for Raonic to come up with a backhand half-volley that his sometime coach John McEnroe would have been proud of.
The final stages of the second set were nervy in the extreme, especially for Murray, but he made a great start to the tie-break and pulled off a half-volley even more outrageous than Raonic's to make it 4-1.
He was pegged back to 5-5 but was rewarded for being the aggressor as he made it one-set all.
With two hours and 20 minutes on the clock, this was already another epic encounter, and Murray had to fight through the fatigue again to save two more break points in the second game of the decider.
Murray looked certain to close the match out when he twice served for it but instead Raonic broke back both times, prolonging this crazy match even further.
The tie-break was a fitting denouement as both men produced their best to deny the other when match points came around until Raonic finally netted a forehand.

|You are in: Talking Point
Thursday, 27 June, 2002, 09:38 GMT 10:38 UK
Should the comprehensive system be scrapped?
The education secretary says England should offer more specialist schools.
Estelle Morris has called for an end to "ready-to-wear, off-the-shelf comprehensives".
Instead she wants to see greater diversity through more specialist schools - which get extra funding to develop expertise in a particular subject.
But critics say specialist schools create a "two-tier" education system.
What do you think of the education secretary's plans? Are specialist schools a good idea?
This Talking Point was suggested by Richard Cunningham, Germany:
"Government plans to overhaul the education system will disguise the fact that they are failing to make the current model successful. The government is failing to provide the basic necessities for education & learning and that is quality teachers and smaller class sizes."
"Government plans to overhaul the education system will disguise the fact that they are failing to make the current model successful. The government is failing to provide the basic necessities for education & learning and that is quality teachers and smaller class sizes."If you have any suggestions for Talking Points,
This Talking Point has now closed. Read a selection of your comments below.
Jean Howard, UK
No, the current system should not be scrapped. What happens if the only local school in a community becomes, say, a specialist sports school and a local child has no aptitude for sporting excellence? I agree that where there are a number of similar schools in close proximity, allowing one or more to specialise might work but only where extra capacity is set aside in the other schools.
Chris, UK
If there are schools which Estelle feels she would not touch with a barge pole, would she kindly let parents know which ones they are so parents can avoid them as well?
As my maths teacher said, schools currently exist to get you through GCSEs. GCSEs exist to prepare you for A-levels, and A-levels exist to prepare you for university.
The people who are let down are the non-academic ones. Vocational education, as offered in other countries, would be far more beneficial for such people, within or outside the comprehensive model.
After listening to Estelle Morris on The World at One, I would like her to explain how identifying somebody with a gift for a particular activity (for example sport or art) and then directing them to a specialist school that would enable them to focus on that activity is not selection. Of course it's selection - and quite right too, but these people are so bound up in their own dogma that they'd settle for sounding obtuse (as she did) rather than use the word.
Barry, UK
I passed the 11+ but my school "went comprehensive" just before I did my O-levels so I have experience of both systems. The grammar school had an elitist pseudo public school culture with a headmaster who often seemed more concerned about us falling foul of "communist" influences than the quality of our education. Selection creates an artificial division between classes where there are already too many divisions. In the comprehensive system, children from all walks of life mix together and this aids social cohesion later on.
So Estelle talks about "freedom of choice" yet again. All I want for my daughter in September is an all-girls school with a sixth form. Having written to the chief education officer of Birmingham, Tony Blair, Estelle Morris and three other MPs, they all wash their hands of my right to parental choice.
I have provided educational reasons for my choice of school. I do have some experience of education (22 years as a teacher and an MA in education). My daughter was given NO choice of school this year. Dream on Estelle, the schools will find a way of circumventing any system put in place by the government.
The comprehensive system can't be truly comprehensive, unless it includes every pupil in the country. While parents with money are allowed to opt out, the middle classes won't care about what happens to the comprehensive system.
The government is misleading us into thinking that state comprehensives provide "one size fits all" education - they don't. They already provide a huge variety of educational patterns to suit their pupils.
And despite being starved of funds, and with teachers scapegoated for politicians meddling, they still overwhelmingly get the results for young people of all backgrounds.
I grew up on a council estate, went to a state comprehensive, got five A-levels and went on to get an honours first class degree - state comprehensives can and do work, if governments give them the chance and the resources.
Yet again the government tinker and change in an attempt to disguise failure. The comprehensive system may not be the best idea, and maybe specialist schools could help. But by throwing out the old, New Labour blame a whole system for their own inadequacies. Comprehensives may not work perfectly, but they should work a damn sight better than this.
Jon Cooper, UK
I am opposed to selection at 11 - it is too soon to determine someone's educational future. But then, I'm biased, having failed my 11+ and being relegated to the secondary modern school (the under-funded school for the 80% who failed). Fortunately, the school system changed to comprehensive at the end of my third year. I went on to take O-levels, A-levels and a first class honours degree. I know others who gained good honours degrees despite failing their 11+.
I went to a comprehensive in the 70s. There was some bullying (as at primary schools) but, unlike Jon Cooper, I learned when to run and when to stand and fight. The confidence developed in handling "the real world" has helped every bit as much as the nine O-levels that I gained there. One size doesn't fit all but neither should the quality of education be determined by the size of the parent's pocket. The comprehensive school system will work as long as the teachers there are rewarded when they do a good job. As for the blatant hypocrites in the Labour party who preach common good but put their own kids through private schools, there are simply no words to express the contempt they deserve.
The biggest problem with the education system in the UK is the way it is constantly being tinkered with. No wonder the system is in chaos and teachers don't know what's going on. Leave it alone for a while for goodness sake!
Those calling for the system to be scrapped are as bad as those who insisted it be implemented.
The whole point is, where a school is working (and there are some excellent comprehensives) let them go on working. But allow a wider variety, so that where there are problems, the head teachers and school boards can respond to them.
The enforced uniformity causes the problem. The key is local choice, not central control. But does this government have the guts to loosen the reins a little? I think not.
Polly, UK
My experience of comprehensive was, in general, very positive. I come from an area where just about everyone went to the local comp, and where there was academic streaming. As a result, people were taught in a group of very similar ability.
Now that I've moved down south, it seems that everyone who can, removes their children form the state system. These parents therefore leave behind a group that will have more than its fair share of academic and social problems. To blame the system for then struggling with this group seems very unfair.
From my local comprehensive, I went on to Oxford, then to a very successful career in the city. I was not alone in this. I also had the huge advantage, because all my schoolmates lived close to me, of having a very large group of good friends. Sending your children to a selective school miles from home means that you are depriving them of this great asset.
I will celebrate when the comprehensive system is finally dead and buried. This utopian ideal of an 'education for all' does not work - in fact it fails most of the children that are forced to go through the system.
I only hope that the next generation of children, whatever their ability, will be given the education they deserve.
One-size-fits-all education is never going to be perfect, but would you want the kind of people involved in running education authorities deciding which type of school your child should attend? Parents will also pressure children to pass the necessary exams to get into the more prestigious academic, as opposed to technical, schools. As an alum of a grammar school in the still two-tier Trafford education authority I have seen the effects when one child passes, and one fails the 11+.

P0835 code definition
A P0835 trouble code signifies that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected a problem with the clutch position sensor circuit. This trouble code is only found in vehicles with a manual transmission, otherwise the vehicle PCM is faulty. Related codes include P0833 and P0834 trouble codes.
What the P0835 code means
When a voltage reading outside of manufacturer's specifications is detected by the PCM from the clutch position sensor circuit, a P0835 trouble code is stored and the Check Engine light illuminates. Mechanics should keep in mind that some vehicle models require multiple failure cycles before the Check Engine light comes on.
What causes the P0835 code?
A misadjusted or defective clutch position sensor is the most likely cause of a P0835 trouble code. Faulty wiring or connectors is another common cause of this code, including shorted, open, or corroded components.
What are the symptoms of the P0835 code?
Symptoms of a P0835 trouble code can range from no obvious signs of a problem to the failure of the vehicle engine to start. In addition, another sign of a P0835 trouble code include the engine starting without the need for the clutch to be engaged.
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0835 code?
An advanced scanner, digital volt/ohmmeter, and a manufacturer's wiring diagram for the vehicle are all required tools needed by a mechanic to diagnose a P0835 trouble code. In addition to the necessary equipment, a mechanic needs to perform the following:
- Visually inspect all wiring and connectors associated with the clutch position sensor.
- Clear the trouble code and test the system to see if the code returns.
- If everything checks out as okay, download all stored trouble codes and freeze frame data using the scanner.
- If the code returns, the mechanic should use the digital volt/ohmmeter to check the voltage reading on the input side of the clutch position sensor.
- If no voltage is detected, the mechanic should disconnect all related control modules and then check for continuity between the input circuit of the clutch position sensor and the system fuse.
- If voltage is present on the input side of the clutch position sensor, press the clutch and check the voltage readings on the output side.
- If voltage is present, check the resistance and continuity between the clutch position sensor switch and the PCM. The mechanic should disconnect all related control modules to avoid damage when doing so.
- If needed, test all related circuits using the manufacturer's wiring diagram.
- If, after clearing, the trouble code persists, test the PCM for fault.
- Clear the trouble code and retest the system to see if the code comes back.
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0835 code
The misdiagnosis of the starter solenoid being at fault is a common mistake made by mechanics when fixing this trouble code. By erroneously fixing the wrong part, the P0835 trouble code returns.
How serious is the P0835 code?
While sometimes a P0835 trouble code shows no symptoms of a problem, more often than not, vehicle drivers can expect to encounter problems when starting an affected vehicle. This includes the vehicle starting without having to press in the clutch pedal and in the vehicle refusing to start at all. As such, it is important that a vehicle owner get their vehicle diagnosed by a mechanic and the problem fixed as soon as possible.
What repairs can fix the P0835 code?
Repairing a P0835 trouble code requires a mechanic to do the following:
- Replace any faulty wiring or connectors, making sure that all connections are in place and tight.
- Replace the clutch position sensor if the input voltage readings come back as abnormal.
- Replace the clutch position sensor switch if the there is no output voltage detected when the switch is depressed.
- Replace the PCM if it is found faulty after further testing.

A welcome, non-intimidating introduction to self-myofascial relief for students, foam exercise rollers will help them alleviate soreness, address muscle tightness, and mitigate injury due to "cold muscles." Three varying foam densities offer distinct, targeted levels of relief, while 2 sizes make it possible to finesse specific muscles or entire affected areas of the body.
Three Levels of Firmness
Depending on the intensity required to soothe aching muscles, foam exercise rollers are available in 3 densities. Each level offers a different degree of firmness, creating a higher level of stimulation to break up lactic acid buildups.
- Semi-Firm rollers feature the lightest density and offer the softest massage. They're textured to simulate the feel of fingertips, emulating a traditional myofascial massage that promotes better blood flow to the affected area.
- Firm rollers offer an intermediate degree of firmness that's soft to the touch, yet offers more support over Semi-Firm options. These rollers are designed to work muscles more intensely to actively break up lactic acid and can be used across any muscle group.
- Extra-Firm foam rollers work best when soreness is at its peak offering the firmest massage. This helps to apply a deeper level of massage without causing the user more pain as they massage for relief.
Each type of foam is pick-proof and resilient against institutional abuse, to ensure alleviating benefits each time a roller is used.
Two Size Options
Based on the muscles being massaged, these foam rollers come in 2 lengths. For general use, shorter 12"L rollers are ideal, as they cover most muscles entirely and allow users to properly massage them in their entirety. For larger muscle groups or regional soreness, 36"L rollers support the entire back, chest, or both legs at the same time, for encompassing relief.
- Stimulates blood flow and improves circulation to sore muscles, aiding in recovery.
- Rounded tube with different density of foam is rolled across to massage muscles and reduce tension and tightness as a form of self-myofascial release and massage therapy.
- Foam rollers help because exercise burns glucose and glycogen as its fuel, leaving behind a byproduct called lactic acid. This is what produces the pain or "burn" you feel the day after a hard workout. To get rid of the pain, you can get a massage from someone or use foam rollers to massage muscles on your own.
- Best suited for indoor use, as rough surfaces will break the foam down faster over time.
UltraFit™ Foam Roller Options
UltraFit™ Foam Rollers are available in 2 foam options, in 3 firmness levels, in 2 lengths.
Textured EVA Foam
- Semi-Firm, 12"L
- Semi-Firm, 36"L
High-Density Foam
- Firm, 36"L
- Extra-Firm, 36"L

APRIL 14, 2015 — Don't allow seafarers to eat fish caught off the side of the ship. That is the advice of consultant chef Henry Anderson following recent media reports that 14 crew from a Japanese bulker in Canada were hospitalized after contracteing ciguatera fish poisoning, caused by eating tropical fish that have consumed toxin-producing algae.
Chef Anderson, who is the founder of U.K. based company Marine Catering Services, says that eating fish caught off the side of the vessel is a sure wayto contract food poisoning and can take a whole ship out.
"When I am onboard vessels training the crew on menu preparation and food hygiene, I give clear instructions to all crew members not to go fishing for fresh fish when ships are at anchor as you don't know if the fish has been caught in red tides," says Chef Anderson. "Nor are you able to detect whether any caught fish has toxins within their system, as that can only be obtained by laboratory examination of the product.
"Shipowners and managers should buy their fish products from reputable suppliers as this proves traceability of the product purchased and complies with due diligence procedures should anyone should become sick. This is also backed up by written food temperature controls in which any meal can be traced back to the menu."

Day I: Captors
Author's Note: This is a companion story to the story Day I, found here: http://ledoppelganger.blogspot.com/2006/05/day-i.html
"Look at that, another one. When will they learn that they can't beat the State?"
The wooden chair creeked as it adjusted to the guard's shifting weight as he leaned back. The chair slid into the grooves in the floor that it had worn there from being leaned back so often.
"Can you blame them? It always takes one hard lesson," replied the other guard, as a breeze from the air conditioning blew his air to one side. He sat with his chair firmly on the ground, his hands lightly resting on the edge of the control panel in front of him. The black and white televison screen built into the panel showed the cell and the prisoner in it.
"He was already sweating like a pig when we brought him in. It won't take long until he's dehydrated, the lights will see to that. I wonder if he'll take to drinking out of the toilet like some of the others have," the first guard said. He twirled a pencil in his hands, already bored with the figure on the screen. "They never do much of interest. I wish we could get a football game on this screen. I never have figured out why these prisoners need watching twenty four seven from one person, much less the both of us."
"So we all keep our sanity."
"What? " The guard lowed his chair so it was resting on all four legs again. The air conditioning caught the collar of his shirt and made it flutter a bit. "What are you talking about? The whole purpose of shining the constant light is to drive him insane. Hell, before they got rid of the one way glass it used to drive the guards insane too."
"Yes, I know, but with two guards we can keep each other company. Hearing a voice does a lot to keep one sane." The guard kept his hands resting on the edge of the control panel, sitting still as the air conditioner circulated the air around him.
"Well, I suppose it's good to know someone might care about us. All they want out of him," the guard said, leaning back again and waving his hand at the screen, "is for him to go nuts. "If they show up to court that way it makes the case easy to handle. The sooner he needs a jacket the better for everyone. It means the State is happy and we get out of here sooner."
"I've got all the time in the world, so I don't mind waiting."
"Yeah, you don't have any girl to go back home to, and from the looks of things, you aren't going to be getting one any time soon either." Chuckling cut through the quiet, persistent rattling of the air conditioner.
The other guard sat unwavering, waiting for the chuckle to die away. "It's okay if I don't end up with a girl. Having my sanity is enough."
"You're a strange one ..." The guard's voice trailed off as he leaned in close to the monitor. "How did he get that object? What do you think it is, I can't tell. He seems to have carved something into the wall."
"I think it's a nail."
"I'll be damned, I think you're right. How would you know something like that? Well, I don't think him having a nail is going to hurt anything." The chair creeked again as the guard leaned back. "Look, I'm tired, you watch him for a while. Here, I'll flip on the sound so you don't even have to pay that close attention." The guard leaned forward to flip a switch on the console then leaned back again, letting his chin fall to his chest. After several moments, light snoring began to mingle with the rattle fo the air conditioner and the sound of the prisoner shifting around restlessly in the cell. It makes for a strange symphony, thought the guard who still sat still, his hands never leaving their positon on the edge of the console.
BAM! The guard jolted upright, his chair slamming back onto all four legs. "Why didn't you wake me! What is the prisoner doing?" Screams echoed from the speakers. A quick look at the monitor revealed the scene in the cell. The prisoner held the nail in one hand, repeatedly jabbing it into his eyes. A dark stain was running down his face and soaking into his shirt. "You knew this was coming didn't you? They want them insane, not mutilated. Now I've got a mess to clean up and explain. You're a sick bastard."
The other guard made no reply. He had nothing to say. The air conditioned air felt good against his face, and he really didn't want to move.
"You'll be blamed for this you know", the guard said, picking up the pencil that he had left sitting on the console and placing it in his pocket. "You're the one who didn't pay close enough attention to him." The guard flicked the switch to turn off the speakers before briskly walking out the door in the back of the room.
The monitor still flickered, casting shifting light into the dimly lit room, as it showed the prisoner still taking a nail to his eyes. The guard tilted his head to one side, waiting to hear the door close, all the while never taking his hands from the edge of the console. The light played over his face, deeping the shadows of his empty eye sockets.

Sunday September 26th marked the third and final day of the Dark Bridges Film Festival. Opening the festival was the Saskatchewan Shorts showcase which featured local short films varying from zombie comedies to an end of days Western and everything in between. Black Field, the first feature of the day hails from Manitoba and takes a turn in the festival as a serious period drama with some tension. The preceding short films included the wonderfully animated The Thomas Beale Cipher and Without Wings. Black Field tells the tale of two lone women left to look after their family farm when a lone strange appears and breaks things apart.
Tyler Baptist: "Quiet, beautifully shot, and richly character driven. Black Field's slow burn story of sisters alone to fend for themselves is disquieting and powerfully realized by Danishka Esterhazy." 3/5
John Allison, the Dark Bridges festival director, advised those in attendance, as well as in advance of the festival happening, to not seek out any information on the next feature, but to go in with an open slate. This was an Irish black comedy titled A Film With Me In It where a series of accidents go from bad to worse for a starving actor. The opening short film No Escape, a little German robbery thriller, had a great concept but a lackluster pay-off.
Skot M. Hamilton: "Neither dark enough, nor funny enough, to succeed entirely and trying to purposely pigeon hole itself next to black comedy peers. A Film With Me In It manages to avoid being totally mediocre through a few strong central performances, but does waiver beneath the weight of its overall drabness." 2.5/5
TB: "A fantastic set-up for a black comedy with a few great laughs and winces along the way, but in the end feels rushed and too tidy." 3.5/5
Adrienne Brody once again reinvents his career portraying a strung-out drug dealer in the new stoner-comedy High School. Preceding the film was a short also portraying high school life, entitled Worm, but this time from the point of view of a narcissistic teacher and much darker in tone. High School details a Grade-A student and his stoner buddy who get the entire student body to ingest pot brownies.
SMH: "A typical drug comedy about absolutely nothing. Immature, exhausting, and derivative. One could assume that the filmmakers were counting on the short attention spans of their target audience to ignore that they've already laughed at these lame jokes in the last six stoner comedies they've seen." 1.5/5
TB: "As unrealistic as stoner comedies are, High School takes the cake. Convoluted, unfunny, and actually getting high before watching would probably not make this any better or help pass the time." 2/5
And finally bookending the entire festival weekend took us to the far East. Junkios Shamisen, a live-action and animated multi-media short, told a fable of revenge with a Kabuki twist. Finally, the closing picture packed a wallop with the Korean kimchi Western The Good, The Bad, The Weird. The festival audience fully got into the film and were laughing and cheering throughout, thus ending the festival on a positive note.
SMH: "Relentlessly fun! This is the type of action-adventure picture that Hollywood should be pumping all of its money into. If North American's weren't so frightened of subtitles this could dominate the box office and deserve to at that." 4.5/5
TB: "As big as blockbuster action can get. The Good, The Bad, The Weird is a wild Western mash-up that delivers the laughs along with the insane action and doesn't let up for one dull moment. Epic, entertaining, and pure fun!" 4.5/5
That wraps up the first annual Dark Bridges Film Festival, but listen below for an interview Skot and Tyler conducted with festival director John Allison.

Dark Bridges Film Festival Day 2
Day two of Saskatoon's first installment in to the Dark Bridges Films festival opened with a bang despite a less than desired turnout on September 25th. Due to an early showtime and a myriad of other early Saturday issues (Hangovers, work, etc..) Day two opener Werewolf Fever was seen by a only a fraction of the audience it deserved.
Surface and Remote were openers, and both drew more more from the sci-fi end of the pool then one would expect from a movie preceding a Werewolf-slasher-comedy. In Werewolf Fever A group of unwitting and heinously stupid twenty somethings jockeying a greasy burger joint do battle with one of the most hilarious on-screen creatures since Rawhead Rex.
Skot M. Hamilton: "A blast of an indie horror flick for which the word "Romp" was invented." 3.5/5
Tyler Baptist: "An absolutely hysterical and entertaining mash-up of the werewolf genre and 80's Canadian sex comedies (minus the sex, and in this case that's not a bad thing!) Werewolf Fever is a howl!" 4/5
After the slapstick comedy and gore of the entertaining low-budget Werewolf Fever, the festival took a turn to the darker side with the next feature, Long Pigs. Opening the film was a short cannibal-themed Western starring Ken Foree of Dawn of the Dead fame called Dead Bones. The juxtaposition between the comedy and the now dramatic and sinister nature of Long Pigs, a documentary-style glimpse into the life of a cannibalistic serial killer, was unexpected by the audience.
SMH: "Despite issues in the pacing and acting departments (problems that seem to plague these lower budget Mockumenteries) Long Pigs is reasonably tight package with big pay-off. Man Bites Dog it's not, but a really respectable effort." 3.5/5
TB: "Sinister satire and an interesting concept, but Long Pigs doesn't engage like it should and too many plot holes and pacing issues ultimately leave it to be rather boring and uninspired." 2/5
From there we began the "Dead-walk-the-Earth" marathon starting with shorts 36 Sous Sol and the outrageously funny Inferno Of The Dead. By this point the number of festival goers had grown quite a bit, a handful of whom had shown up in full undead garb. Needless to say, 2008's Spanish favorite [REC]'s built in fan base had finally arrived. In [REC], a television crew witnesses the beginning of an unknown outbreak that has seized an apartment complex.
SMH: "Just as fresh as it was upon it's release despite a North American remake and other imposters vying for its limelight, [REC] losses nothing to multiple viewings. It is still just as jarring, exciting, and intriguing as ever." 4/5
TB: "[REC] will scare even the most jaded of horror fans. Intense, claustrophobic, and extremely well executed. A masterpiece of modern horror." 4.5/5
Now that the entire audience was shaking in their seats after being put through the paces with [REC] the festival is not going to let that sense of dread let up as we continue the story with [REC]2. But before the onslaught of tension and terror began we continue the undead short film theme with Alice Jacobs is Dead starring the lovely Adrienne Barbaeu and followed up with the intense, bizarre, and crazy Argentinian exorcism opus Deus Irae. Then it was time to follow a SWAT team into the quarantined apartment in [REC]2.
SMH: "Delving further in to the back story of any genre film is a risky situation, and [REC]2 launches head long in to its own with reckless abandon and is at the end of the day at least as strong a film as its predecessor for it. A retread would have been the easiest route, but Plaza and Balaguero make a really surprising and brave gear shift that most wouldn't have had the guts to commit to. Really smart genre filmmaking." 4/5
TB: "Just as good as the first film if not better, [REC]2 amps up the scares and delves further into possession, claustrophobic terror, and intelligent horror filmmaking. A new horror franchise worth buzzing about." 4.5/5
Finally it was time to let up from the scares, but not the undead, with some campy humour. Opening the midnight film were The Elusive Man and Game Night, two twisted shorts that had the audience busting a gut. Then came The Karate Kid as if written by Lloyd Kaufman and featuring zombies. The director Gary King and main actress Christina Rose were present to introduce the film and answer a Q&A following this campy low-budget zom-com which the audience seemed to thoroughly enjoy.
SMH: "Unapologetic gag a minute Schlock-o-rama that plays like the Zucker Bros gone twisted. A genre mash-up that will please underground cinema aficionados from all ends of the spectrum." 3/5
TB: "A campy, sophomoric, and slapstick spoof featuring karate-zombies, quite a few laugh-out-loud moments and a surprising amount of heart not commonly seen in the genre. Worth a look." 3/5
Skot and Tyler had the pleasure of interviewing both director Gary King and actress Christina Rose at the first annual Dark Bridges Film Festival. Listen to those interviews below:

Dark Bridges Film Festival Day 1
The first Dark Bridges Film festival kicked off September 24th in Saskatoon, SK at the gorgeous inner-city gem The Roxy Theater. The audience was small but poised to take in some adventurous fare from all over the globe and all over the cinematic spectrum. The festival is a first for Saskatoon, a three day extravaganza featuring twelve features and twenty-six short films in total.
Opening the evening was the energetic short Red Princess Blues, followed by the even more frantic Uncle Jack, a duo of openers guaranteed to give the audience whiplash.
The first feature, Neil Marshall's Hack and Slash Centurion opened the festival and proved a stimulating kick start for the meager but excitable audience. "Centurion" follows the few remaining soldiers of the 9th Roman Legion who are being hunted down by a ruthless Pict tracker because of the death of the Pict leader's son.
Skot M. Hamilton: "In typical Marshall form we are treated to an over abundance of style and an almost amusing lack of substance, luckily he knows how to make that a good thing somehow. In league with films like 300 in that it knows how to use being dumb as an asset rather than a hindrance" 2.5/5
Tyler Baptist: "Gory, action-packed warfare epic. But ultimately overly predictable and overly mundane like Marhsall's last effort Doomsday where it becomes just an homage to the genre rather than something new." 2.5/5
In stark contrast to the first batch of high-octane fare we were treated to some more subtle work in a more pronounce horror vein. Wilted and Off Season set the pace for this set, the latter proving to be one of the most impressive short thrillers in years and certainly a highlight of the evening. Dawning, the second feature details an awkward family get-together turned sinister when a blood caked stranger wanders in to the picture.
SMH: "A largely effective and subtle thriller which is at its precipice and at its weakest all at the same time. Commendable for engaging in high concept, but it's a concept only marginally achieved." 3/5
TB: "Finally a horror film where characters and well crafted drama add to the destructible nature of unknown surrounding evil. However the high concept played with is not fully fleshed out in the end." 3/5
Finally ending the first night of the festival in true midnight fashion are two varying short films with a Lovecraftian twist. Dan Coolo: Paranormal Drug Dealer is ultimately an unfunny miss, but Necronomicon proves to be a hilarious good time at its under two minute running time. The midnight feature capping it all off, El Monstro Del Mar, is an Australlian mash-up of the Russ Meyer vixen, 50's monster movies, and Lovecraft's Shadow over Innismouth.
SMH: "At once sexy, hilarious, inspired, exciting and a consistently good time. In a word: wowy." 4/5
TB: "Hot babes, practical Evil Dead-like sea monster effects, and a short and simple story make this a modern B-movie romp. A ton of fun and not to be missed!" 3.5/5
More coming as we tackle Day 2 of the Dark Bridges Film Festival.

Blood Bonds
Director: Debra Granik
Writers: Derba Granik and Anne Rosellini
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Garret Dillahunt
2010 | United States | R | 100 mins
The cold that encompasses the landscape of the Ozark Mountains is as familiar as the tension between the bloodlines existent in these rural regions of Missouri. Both this feeling of frigidity and the haunting awareness that you alone can only account for your own survival is what is deeply rooted in the structure of Winter's Bone and the story of Ree Dolly, based upon the novel of the same name by Daniel Woodrell.
Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence), a 17-year old girl forced to care for her younger siblings because of an absent father and mentally unstable mother, is now up against losing her family's home if her meth-cooking father does not show up for a court appearance. This adds more fuel to the already burning fire that is destroying the Dolly family as poverty barely lends them enough to eat and the cold winter is all-consuming. Having to grow up too fast Ree has to seek the answers to her father's whereabouts which will uncover darker secrets that haunt all the bloodlines in cold rural Missouri.
Having read Daniel Woodrell's novel, Debra Granik captures the cold icy grasp of family betrayal so hauntingly layered that Winter's Bone will send chills down your spine with its tense portrayal of a girl forced to carry her family on her back. The adaption is extremely faithful and Debra and co-screenwriter Anne Rosellini flesh out a tale of blood and family to the screen as expertly as Woodrell carved the original story. Jennifer Lawrence gives an absolutely flawless and strong willed performance. Her portrayal of Ree Dolly is so believably true to the nature of the character and the mental scars her life has inflicted on her that every emotion is masterfully and minutely executed that her pain and perseverance enters your very soul. John Hawkes, who plays Uncle Teardrop, is both menacing, calculating, and tender when it calls for it. Every cast member plays their role with such conviction that not once does the viewer leave the atmosphere heavily created by the film.
Winter's Bone is a film so rare these days where feelings and ideas of pain, hope, family, and trust are every bit as real as they are cold and encompassed by one's surroundings. Debra Granik and crew have crafted a film of enormous emotional suspense that stays true to the novel's almost backwoods noir and triumphs as powerful cinema that fully latches onto the viewer. I hope that we can see another female director nominated at the Oscars this year, and most definitely nominations for the cast as well, because Winter's Bone is the best American film of the 2010 thus far and will grab you with its powerful tale of family bonds.

ENGLEWOOD | There is a spring in the step and a twinkle in the eye of 89-year-old, retired one-star Gen. Harold H. Dunwoody, and with good reason.
Dunwoody's daughter, Lt. Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody, 55, has just been nominated by President Bush to take over a new Army command as the first female four-star general in the history of the armed services.
"I have followed her career for 33 years," said Dunwoody, an Englewood resident for the last quarter-century. "Every assignment she has ever had, she's done in an outstanding manner. So it really doesn't surprise me she was the first woman selected for four stars."
Following her Senate confirmation hearing, Ann Dunwoody will assume the Materiel Command of the Army, responsible for supplying soldiers with military hardware, repairing armored vehicles and sustaining combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"They have facilities worldwide she'll have to visit," her father said. His daughter will not publicly comment on her promotion until the Senate officially endorses her, an event expected before the end of this year.
One look at the Dunwoody family tree instantly underscores the inevitability of this historic achievement. This military clan has served the nation in virtually every major conflict since the 1700s, including the Revolutionary War, the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Dunwoody hails from Randolph, N.Y., about an hour south of Buffalo. He retired in 1973, a highly decorated veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
"I was badly wounded in 1944, getting blown out of a tank in Alsace-Lorraine on the Siegfried Line," he said, referring to the daunting German defense system that stretched almost 400 miles along the western border of the German empire, from the Netherlands all the way down to Switzerland. The line was fraught with more than 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and tank traps to deter invading Allied forces.
Later, as a battalion commander in the Korean conflict, he earned the Distinguished Service Cross for bravely and successfully holding off a hostile Chinese force which had completely surrounded his troops for two days.
Dunwoody insisted he did not encourage his daughter to embrace a career in military service.
"She did it all on her own," he said. "I think being part of a military family inspired her to join the club."
Her older brother, Harold H. Dunwoody, Jr. or "Buck," as the family calls him was himself a 1970 West Point graduate, achieving the rank of first lieutenant.
Buck Dunwoody remembers his sister as "very focused" at achieving goals she set for herself.
"When she sets out on something, there's no stopping her," he laughed. "Just get out of the way or give it to her."
Ann Dunwoody was not the first woman from the family to join the armed services. Her older sister, Susan Schoeck, became the third woman in the Army to become a helicopter pilot and her niece, Jennifer Schoeck, continues the tradition as an Air Force fighter pilot.
Dunwoody Sr.'s only regret was that his late wife, Elizabeth, won't be there to see her daughter make history. Elizabeth, 81, died in 2006 of a massive stroke.
"My wife of 62 years was a major influence on Ann, in her morality and her honesty," Dunwoody said. "She was a wonderful woman, as anybody that ever knew her could tell you."
Dunwoody was proud to see his daughter burst through "the brass ceiling," as service personnel refer to it.
"I think this will make way for more women to do the same," he said.

Regupol® is a tough, resilient sound insulation material used for underfloor impact sound reduction on all types of subfloors. It is suitable for all floor finishes including ceramic tiles, wood and laminates, carpet and linoleum, sheet vinyl and vinyl tiles, and between structural floor elements. Regupol® can be used to reduce noise on stairs (4.5mm depth recommended). It can be used with underfloor heating.
Regupol® provides 25% reduction of surface sounds between 500 and 2.000 Hz. It is easy to install simply bond to the subfloor beneath the final floor finish. It is temperature resistant from - 40°C to +110°C.
Regupol® CR225 may be used under solid timber and laminate finishes, carpet, linoleum and vinyl (with a separating layer). Regupol® CR225 is made from recycled tyre-crumb rubber and cork with a polyurethane binder. It is supplied in 1.15m wide rolls of 3mm and 4.5mm thickness.
Regupol® CR4515 is suitable for all floor finishes including ceramic tiles, solid timber and laminate finishes, carpet, linoleum and vinyl.
Regupol® CR4515 is made from a cork and polyurethane foam mix, and supplied in 1m wide rolls of 3mm and 4.5mm thickness.
As a carpet underlay Regupol® CR225 helps provide a resilient surface to walk on as well as effective impact sound insulation. The Regupol® CR225 should be glued to the subfloor, and the carpet loose-laid on top.
Regupol® CR225 is effective at
reducing the impact sound of
footsteps to the rooms below. It can
be glued to the subfloor, or in strips
along the top of floor joists, before
installing a floating timber floor on
Any fixings that penetrate through to the base structure should be avoided in order to reduce the transmission of impact vibration. If necessary this can be achieved by introducing an intermediate floating plywood floor, 22mm thick with glued tongue-and- groove joints, onto which floorboards or parquet can then be fixed. To complete the process, strips of Regupol® CR225 should be glued around the floor perimeter to isolate the flooring elements from the walls.
Regupol® CR4515 is suitable for use under linoleum and vinyl. (Regupol® CR225 may also be used under linoleum; however a separating layer of 1200 gauge polythene damp proof membrane should be used, with a water-based adhesive which is suitable for the DPM). It should be glued to the level subfloor, and the linoleum may be glued on top.
Regupol® CR4515 should be fixed to the subfloor with a flexible cement adhesive. The ceramic tiles should then be fixed on top of the Regupol® CR4515 with flexible cement adhesive, and grouted with a flexible grout.
Total coverage of Holzweg/ Volvox Natural Latex Adhesive (see information sheet H26) is recommended ensuring that, in wet floor areas such as bathrooms, the floor finishes are completely sealed.

Christmas with the Cousins
I just was looking at Jade's blog (my sis-in-law) and realized I never posted this super cute pic of Ave and all of her cousins. You should have seen us cooing, bribing, making all sorts of noises and sounds trying to get them all to look in the same direction at once. Someone should have been filming us! It was too funny.

From inside the famed Gottman Institute, aka the "Love Lab": ten scientifically proven, practical ways to strengthen your marriage
"We dont feel close anymore."
"You never talk to me."
"We only have time for the kids."
"All you do is work."
"You dont care about my dreams."
Do you recognize yourself, or your spouse, in any of these statements? If so, Dr. John Gottman and his wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, say you shouldnt be surprised. In fact, their decades of scientific research have shown that most couples face these and other serious problems—but what the Gottmans have proven is that such difficulties dont have to lead to a broken relationship, or even divorce.

Two days to the end of the Janus Project.
In the mean time something is happening in Russia. This suicide bombing was followed by another in a trolley bus in Volgograd. The unrest in Russia doesn't seem to have made much impact on news here but it is evident that this level of 'terrorist' activity has been going on for some time as individual Russian states endeavour to seek their own future.
|People milled in Volgograd.
The station buzzed with the rush of bustling crowds,
jostling commuters muscling their way to work,
hassled mothers with children in tow. Children hushed.
Somebody killed in Volgograd.
Blood was spilled in Volgograd.
Something was stilled in Volgograd.
|29th December 2013 – headline from the Guardian
Notes: "Volgograd train station rocked by suicide bombing." Sixteen people were killed and another 50 injured after a suicide bombing at a railway station in the southern Russian city of Volgograd that highlighted the region's security vulnerability just six weeks before the Winter Olympics. Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad, is a railway hub on the route connecting European Russia with central Asia. It acts as a gateway to the Caucasus, and is 600 miles from Sochi, the Black Sea city where the Olympics are scheduled to start on 7 February. The blast ripped through an area between the station entrance and metal frames that had been installed as a precaution against terror attacks. An early statement by the Russian national anti-terrorist committee said the explosion was presumed to have been caused by a female suicide bomber, a young woman from the Caucasus, as in previous attacks in Russia over the past decade. One report identified the perpetrator as a Dagestani woman by the name of Oksana Aslanova, widow of a militant. However, later, news agencies reported that it was a man wearing a rucksack who was behind the attack, though he may not have been acting alone.

Who is up for some networking? (Brasilia)
Hello Everyone! As your Consul at the"Internations Brasilia Professional Networking" group I would like to know what kind of activity would you be most interested on participating, so that I may schedule some events for us. Here are some suggestions (feel free to come up with more):
a) "business speed dating": You guys send me a brief description of what you do and what you are looking for (a job, a business partner, clients, etc) and we meet at a nice and quiet restaurant or café, organized on small groups with similar or complementary interests to have a chat and see if "something happens". It's always possible to change tables if you have the feeling you're not going to "get lucky" at the first one.
b) "TED like" events: The idea is to invite one (or a few) people to give a short Protected content 15 minutes, maximum) speech on a topic that interests the group (oratory, personal finance, martketing, Social Media, etc). The speaker may be either someone from the group with experience on the topic, or some expert from the "outside", as long as he/she is willing to do it for free. Afterwards we would have a moment for informal conversation and some drinks.
c) Plain and simple Happy Hour: It's self explanatory, right?
So, does any of these three options sound interesting to you? What would increase your interest on joining our Networking group?

Ive been a bad girl! I know I haven't blogged for the last three months. But I have my excuses ready. Yes sir! I started working again from April (which is co-incidentally when I stopped blogging) and between working, managing the baby and having a decently active social life I just haven't had the mojo or the time to blog. Mostly lost mojo coz I somehow suddenly didn't see the point in parading all that I have been buying. So perhaps this blog will now head in a new direction. Who knows! Psst..doesn't mean I've stopped shopping. Bwahahahaha...as if!
Oh btw I do have a day job. I'm an architect and now I'm working part time. I do 12 noon to 6pm which is quite convenient. Anyhoo, just to bring the blog up to speed on what's been happening in my life... The cub is almost 11 months old now and if this were a mommy blog I'd be telling you how he's now learning to walk and how he has clear tastes and is already throwing tantrums! But since this ain't one I shall not.
I'm also taking a teeny tiny short holiday to Bangkok next week and this would be the cub's first international holiday. Why Bangkok? Coz it's cheap, the flight is only 4.5hrs long and mama wants to do some shopping. The husband and some other friends are coming along too so should be fun! Just hope the cub behaves decently. *fingers crossed* This is my second trip to Thailand so I already have a clear idea about where to go (where to shop) and have done some further research in the field and shall present my findings shortly. :)
Oh and I've started getting out a fair bit and even got featured on the page 3 here on Times of India and Deccan Chronicle newspapers. *giggle* Also, I realised I'm not bloody 20 anymore! Can't stand these loud clubs hopping with college kids. Much rather prefer lounge bars with good music at decibels that don't make your ears go *guiiiiiinnnnnnnnn* afterwards and you can have a decent conversation with your friends without having to shout into their eardrums. Or maybe this is only coz im not drinking these days. :p
So yep...that's about it. Hope to blog more often. Also hope to change the flavour around here. Not just product reviews after product reviews! How boring right!

Door-to-door salespeople must adhere to a tougher set of rules in the wake of the county commission's approval of a new solicitation ordinance.
Solicitors now must get a permit from the sheriff's department at least four working days in advance of going door-to-door. The extra time will enable the department to check the background of solicitors. Applicants also will be fingerprinted and will receive a permit and a picture identification card that must be carried by the solicitor at all times. The permit process will cost applicants $25.

Ron Hunter is back in the NCAA tournament.
His team may be a 15th seed, but the Georgia State coach always brings some top-seeded material.
The day after the Panthers won the Sun Belt Conference title to claim their first NCAA bid since 2015, Hunter entertained the media with the differences between his team and No. 2 seed Cincinnati, the heavily favored opponent Friday in the South Regional.
"They told us today that Cincinnati gets to stay at the Hyatt, we've gotta stay at Comfort Inn," Hunter quipped. "Cincinnati gets to eat at Ruth's Chris (Steak House), we 've gotta eat at Wendy's.
"But when it comes Friday at 2'o'clock, oh we're gonna be ready. We're gonna be ready to play. I can guarantee you that."
Yep, it's good to have Coach Hunter back in the Big Dance.
Your daily @GSUPanthers @CoachRonHunter legendary sound bite...

What in a few years will be India's largest shopping mall today is a kilometre-long, three-storey deep hole in the earth marked with a billboard the size of a tennis court.
By 2010, the "Mall of India", in what is now the dusty New Delhi satellite city of Gurgaon, will comprise 4.5m square feet of gleaming retail space, more than double the size of the biggest existing mall in India. It will boast 9,000 parking spaces and be connected to the New Delhi metro by its own light rail system, the first of its kind in the country.
It may not be ready in time for Christmas but the Mall of India, which is being constructed by DLF, the country's biggest property developer, will be the greatest monument yet to India's emerging consumer class, a generation as addicted to spending as their elders were to thrift.
"There is a paradigm shift in Indian retail," says Rajeev Talwar, group executive director of DLF. "India's growing prosperity - the large population of under 25-year-olds who have grown up in an economy that is booming - means that lifestyles and shopping habits are shifting in favour of malls."
Despite having more than 1bn people, India had just six malls covering 1m sq ft of space in 2002, according to Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj, a property consultancy. By the beginning of 2007 that had risen to 90 malls covering 19m sq ft. It is expected to rise threefold next year.
Driving the growth is a rapid rise in middle-class salaries and the emergence of a high-income class, with 1.6m households earning more than $100,000 (Euro 69,000, £50,000) a year. Aside from Mall of India, DLF is building a "super luxury" mall in Delhi, the Emporio, that will feature a 10,000 sq ft "watch zone" displaying the world's most expensive time pieces.
Complementing India's retail phenomenon is an exponential increase in consumer credit. "The Indian consumer today is less shy about borrowing," says Sanjay Nayar, chief executive officer of Citigroup in India.
The rise of so-called "organised retail" is also critical to the mall boom in India. Corporate chains today have a tiny share of India's $300bn-plus retail business but this is set to rise to about one fifth of the market within five years, according to estimates from Technopak, a research and consultancy firm.
For Sejal Acharwya, an office worker in Mumbai, the advent of malls has meant being in greater touch with fashion. "If you go to the mall, you know what's happening in the city, what's in and what's out," she says.
Analysts caution, however, that plenty of hype is accompanying the boom. In a recent report, Jones Lang warned that "over 90 per cent of the current and planned shopping mall stock falls below international quality in terms of specification and design".
The infrastructure surrounding malls is also a problem - many can only be reached via pot-holed roads through slums.
Government restrictions on the entry of foreign retailers, most visibly on groups such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco, means developers may struggle to find enough deep-pocketed tenants to populate their malls. The world's biggest retailers also carry some baggage after bad experiences in other emerging markets.
"There are multiple retailers who don't want to franchise in India [because] they've been burned in places like Russia and China," says Vincent Lottefier, chief executive officer of Jones Lang in India.
Local retailers are rushing to fill the void. Sankarson Banerjee, an executive with India's largest retailer, Pantaloon, says the group has doubled and tripled the number of its "Big Bazaar" supermarkets but still faces queues outside its stores.
On sale days, the hordes of shoppers have become so unmanageable that executives at Future Group, who own Pantaloon, have been studying crowd control techniques used at temples during festivals - still the biggest crowd pullers in deeply religious India.
How to deal with those holidays is another issue for retailers. There are 51 public holidays celebrated in India, but only a few are marked nationally. The majority are observed by diverse ethnic and religious groups at different times - one district in a large city like Mumbai might celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid, the next district the Hindu celebration Diwali - making it fiendishly difficult for retailers to time their sales.
To get around this, the Future Group invented two sales days of its own, one each on India's Republic Day and Independence Day holidays. "These are the only days when everybody is guaranteed to be on holiday," says Mr Banerjee.

Roller Shades
Roller shades are raised and lowered by the means of a roller mounted at the top of the shade. They are available in a wide variety of materials which makes roller shades a great option for almost any room. Depending upon the translucence of the material, roller shades can block or let in as much light as desired.
Solar Shades
A solar shade will block harmful rays from the sun. The sun can fade your carpets and upholstery but with a solar shade, you can stop that from happening while still having an attractive window covering. A Solar Shade will also help make your home more energy efficient by not allowing the heat from the sun to enter your home as easily.
