Chinese conglomerates beat SIA in Virgin Australia acquisition
June 11, 2016 Leave a comment
The HNA Aviation Group which owns China's fast growing Hainan Airlines (the fourth largest in the country) was the first to move in, acquiring 13 per cent of Virgin Australia with plans to increasing its stake to almost 20 per cent. Virgin chief executive John Borghetti welcome the acquisition as "a big coup" that "sets us up for very, very good growth going forward in that very lucrative inbound but also outbound, traffic between Australia and China."
Indeed, there has been a healthy growth in traffic between Australia and China in recent years. According to Mr Borghetti, more than one million Chinese travelers visited Australia in 2015 and this number is expected to grow to 1.5 million by 2020. Clearly HNA sees the potential and the opportunity could not have come a better time.
Now a second Chinese conglomerate Nanshan Group hopes to reap the benefit of increased tourism in Australia. The firm has bought a 20-per-cent stake in Virgin Australia from Air New Zealand. Air NZ chairman Tony Carter said: "We believe Nanshan Group will be a very strong, positive and complimentary shareholder for Virgin Australia. The sale will allow Air New Zealand to focus on its own growth opportunities, while still continuing its long-standing alliance with Virgin Australia on the trans-Tasman network."
Both HNA Aviation Group and Nanshan Group will now join SIA and Etihad Airways as co-partners in the Australian carrier. While Etihad has not expressed any interest in buying off Air NZ, SIA appears once again to have lost the lead in a game that started out as the Singapore carrier's to play.

Introduction to Swimming Pool Lights
A dark swimming pool can be extremely dangerous at night. Also, without a good lighting system, a pool becomes rather useless at night. I mean, who will be willing to dive deep into a pool of water that they can't see clearly?
The good news is that all of this can be solved with a good lighting system. There are dozens of different kinds of pool lighting systems in the market. This is both a good and a bad thing at the same time. From the wide variety of options, there are some fantastic lighting that will completely change the appearance and ambiance of your swimming pool. With these lights, you won't just be making your swimming pool safer for night use, but it will also become super attractive. Spending your nights in the pools while starring at the stars will be your new favorite thing. Some of these lights can also be fine-tuned to deliver a partying mood setting the perfect atmosphere for a fun-filled pool party.
Unfortunately, getting the right lighting system isn't a walk in the park. This isn't just because some of the lights in the market are miserable but because some of them are poorly made and designed hence investing in them is a waste of money. If you are going to spend a significant amount of your hard-earned cash, don't you think it is only fair if you get the perfect lighting system worthy of you? And that is why we are here. To give you a guide on how to choose the right lights and we will even recommend a few top-rated lights.
Types of Pool Lights
There are two main types of pool lights; LED and Fiber Optic Pool Lighting. There is no one particular type which is more recommended than the other, and this is because it all depends on your specific case and taste.
- LED Pool Lights
Of the two, LED pool lights are the easiest to install. These lights require less cabling. LED pool lights channel voltage to a semiconductor that emits the light. Maintaining LED lights is also more demanding than Fiber Optic pool lights. To change a single bulb alone means that you will have to remove the entire unit from water, replace the bulb and then install it back in. Worse still, some LED light systems do not allow for replacement of a single bulb. This means that in case one or more bulbs malfunction and they affect the appearance of your pool you will have to purchase a new one. This will be quite costly, and that's why you need to be keen when buying LED lights to ensure that you get ones with changeable bulbs.
LED pool lights perform well when it comes to durability. These bulbs are designed with strong semi-conductors allowing the lights to last for up to 15 years. The lights also come in different colors and designs depending on the mood you are looking for. You can get the perfect LED lights for a soothing atmosphere, a crazy party or any other ambiance that you prefer. Another thing people love about these lights is that you only need a single unit to light up your entire pool because they are usually so bright.
Cost-wise, LED lights are more affordable than Fiber Optics. The initial cost of installing LED lights range from $400 to $900. Replacing a bulb is also not so expensive. It usually costs around $200-$400.
- Fiber Optic Pool Lights
Fiber Optic Pool lights are a lot easier to install than LED ones. In this lighting system, the bulb is mounted in a lightbox or illuminator that is usually located above the pool. You then have various cables installed in the pool and these are the cable through which the light will be transmitted. To a lot of people, a fiber optic lighting system delivers better lighting than LED lights. This is, however, a subjective matter and hence depending on your preference, you may not find it as attractive as most people do.
Concerning maintenance, Fiber Optic lights also get an upper hand over LED ones. As we mentioned earlier on, the lightbox is usually placed above the pool, and hence when it comes to replacing it, you'll be able to do it yourself within minutes. Unfortunately, unlike the LED bulbs that can remain functional for up to 15 years, fiber optic bulbs have a lifespan of around 3-7 years.
We would also like to point out that Fiber Optic lights are more of an ambiance enhancer than an illuminating type of lights. These lights won't light up your pool as bright as LED lights, but they'll do a fantastic job transforming the atmosphere inside and around your pool. With Fiber optic lights you will also get a chance to play around with the lighting system to explore different designs. With these lights, you can customize your pool to give it a unique and elaborate design.
The initial cost for installing Fiber Optic Lights is between $900 to $1500. Take note that these lights also use electric motors and fans for cooling. These accessories are known to fail occasionally and when they do replace them can be quite costly.
The Best Swimming Pool Lights
The following are the top rated swimming pool lights in the moment at the moment:
Bulbwizards Poolbright Color Changing LED Pool Bulb
This particular LED lighting system is perfectly designed to all pool owners that want a wide variety of color options within the same system. The light comes with seven different colors from purple, green, blue, yellow, red, etc. The bulb also has a few switches that allow you to choose between four-speed settings for each color. From the speed settings, you can get one that changes colors within a minute, 5 minutes or even after 20 minutes. With these speed and color options, you inevitably can't fail to get one that perfectly matches with your mood.
The Bulbwizard Poolbright bulbs use just 30 watts, and they have a 100,000 hours rating! These bulbs' brightness is also compared to the 300-400watt bulbs. They'll, therefore, help to get you in the mood while also providing enough lighting to keep the pool safe.
This lighting system comes packed with an installation guide that provides the easy steps of setting up the system. Unlike most LED lights, installing this particular system is a lot easier, and it also doesn't take much time.
- Since all the lights are using the same electrical circuit synchronizing them becomes very easy
- It has a cooling system extending the bulb's lifespan
- The automatic speed setting means you don't need a remote control
- It comes with a 5-year warranty
- An instruction manual is included
- The red and yellow lights aren't very bright
WYZM Color Changing Swimming Pool LED Light
The WYZM Color Changing LED Lights are made for everyone that desires awesome color combinations. The system has seven solid colors and nine different color shows. These colors and shows can be controlled and edited using a remote control while you're in the pool or nearby. You can also control the colors using a wall switch.
The WYZM color changing system isn't just good at delivering awesome colors, but it also does a great job of providing safe illumination. The bulbs use 35 watts and are rated 65,000 hours! The bulbs are powerful enough to light up even 25,000-gallon swimming pools.
You will also find installing the system very easy. It comes with standard screws that you can easily screw in place using your home tools.
- Delivers breathtaking color shows
- It provides sufficient illumination without blinding swimmers
- Installation is easy
- To get the best out of this system, you'll have to purchase another gasket
- A few users have also complained that the remote malfunctions a lot
Pentair 601101 IntelliBrite 5G White Underwater LED Light
The Pentair 601101 IntelliBrite LED light is rated 300 watts but can provide up to 500 watts of power tanks to the lumens used. The light is, therefore, an ideal option for all pool owners whose priority is safety. The system will adequately light up even the biggest of swimming pools.
Since the light's primary purpose is illumination, it only provides white lights with no option of changing to any other color. You can, however, adjust the degrees of the lens to get either narrow or wide lighting.
- The system distributes light evenly making sure that every part of the pool receives sufficient lighting
- The bright colors are also not blinding to prevent you from enjoying your time at the pool
- The control system makes using the lights very convenient
- Installing this system is very difficult. The manufacturer directs buyers to hire professionals to install it or lose the 1-year warranty
Conclusion on Swimming Pool Lights
Getting the perfect pool lighting means going through what you need in a lighting system against what the market has to offer. If you are on a tight budget and more interested in security and less about ambiance, then LED lights are your best shot. You can also find a few LED lights that will deliver both illumination and beautification just like the three systems highlighted above. Fiber Optic lights are also incredible especially for creating a beautiful atmosphere, but they are a bit costly. That said, we believe that whatever your needs you should be able to utilize the guide above to make an informed purchase.

Best-selling Author and Business Coach, Ahmed Abdulbaqi, talks about the price one must be willing to pay when stepping onto the highway toward success which can require a less exacting toll when guided by a successful coach with a proven process.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – October 1, 2018 – Ahmed Abdulbaqi, The Growth Coach franchise owner, and co-author of The Art Of Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his company website entitled "You Must Be Willing To Pay The Price Of Success," in which Mr. Abdulbaqi compares the road to a successful business to a four-lane highway.
Abdulbaqi states, "The life of a business owner is like a four-lane highway." He adds, "Success and happiness are two of the lanes, while failure and unhappiness represent the other two. The toll is the price you pay along the way in terms of experiences."
According to Abdulbaqi, "This is so important to understand whether you're a business owner or not, because, of course, what most people want is immediate success or greater success." He further states, "What most tend to forget is that there are requirements and they are not willing to pay the required price. Why that is I frankly don't know."
Abdulbaqi points out, "What I do know from years of experience and observation is that the business people I meet early in their business lives typically act out of two emotions – fear and greed." He continues, "That is what I've seen in those beginning a new business. Both of those emotions tend to throw people into a downward spiral."
"Typically," says Abdulbaqi, "newbies are terrified of failure, which in turn fuels greed. This is due to the fact that they simply don't see the rewards or the end results clearly." He adds, "That's why I suggest first thing as you step out onto the road to success is that you write down what you want. Then you'll have a clear picture of what you want."
"The second step is not to worry about how you will achieve what you want," says Abdulbaqi. He elaborates, "Simply knowing that any new goal is something you have not achieved before lets you off the hook. Now you must take the first small action. Any action that you may think is in the direction of achieving your goal is good for a start. The next step will reveal itself and as you continue to move toward your goal, the steps will continuously unfold, and you will continuously learn and adjust until you get there."

Sebastian Bach Saves Axl Rose From Being Stabbed at GN'R Show
Published Feb 16, 2010Since fronting Skid Row and having an impressive run as a cast member on Gilmore Girls, Sebastian Bach can now add "saving Axl Rose's life" to his impressive list of achievements. After all, the long-haired rocker stopped the Guns N' Roses front-man from getting stabbed at a recent, intimate New York performance.
Guns N' Roses were performing at the Gramercy Park Hotel on Sunday (February 14) to coincide with New York Fashion Week. The private show had a guestlist that also included Ryan Phillippe, Zoe Kravitz, Mickey Rourke and the Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. and Fabrizio Moretti.
An eyewitness described the events to the New York Post, saying, "The man walked in while Guns N' Roses was onstage and pulled out a knife and flicked the blade out. Sebastian, who was standing on a banquette said: 'Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife,' and went after him. Security then immediately threw him out. The man appeared to be drunk. It was dealt with so quickly that none of the other guests or the band were aware of it."
At this point, it's unknown whether the knife-wielder was one of the message board nerds that Rose verbally annihilated last week.

Reconstruction 1863-1877
Reconstruction Began as War Measure First Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln's 10% Plan Goal was an easy peace to shorten war
Who Should Control Reconstruction—Congress or President? Wade-Davis Bill Lincoln Pocket Veto Assassination of Lincoln left question unresolved when Andrew Johnson became president.
Lincoln's Second Inaugural With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.
Freedman's Bureau The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Land, often referred to as the Freedmen's Bureau, was established in the War Department on March 3, 1865. The Bureau supervised all relief and educational activities relating to refugees and freedmen, including issuing rations, clothing and medicine. The Bureau also assumed custody of confiscated lands or property in the former Confederate States, border states, District of Columbia, and Indian Territory. Built Schools—many of whom were forerunners of the "Historically Black Colleges" in the South.
Freedman's Bureau Schools
Andrew Johnson Reconstruction Plan (Proclamation of Amnesty—May 1865) similar to Lincoln's The plan's goal was to reunite the country as quickly as possible. Brought southern states back into the Union with little punishment.
Andrew Johnson
Radical Republicans: Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Ben Wade
Southerners Don't Get It Elect ex-CSA leaders to Congress, including Alexander Stephens Black Codes Race Riots
Radicals Respond Barely failed to override Johnson's Veto of Bill to Extend Life of Freedman's Bureau Overrode Johnson's Veto of CRA of 1866 Enacted a new Freedman's Bureau Sent 14 th Amendment to States—ratified by them in 1868 Radical's insisted on Civil Rights for former slaves and a federal enforcement mechanism
Radicals on a Roll—March 2, 1867 Military Reconstruction Act Command of the Army Act Tenure of Office Act
Military Reconstruction Act-- 1867 Divided South into Military District Southern States—Tn. Excepted—would write new constitutions w/ Universal Adult Male Suffrage States had to ratify 14 th amendment Subsequent legislation gave Army power to register voters and to disqualify "disloyal persons" from registering.
South Readmitted By 1870, Southern states were readmitted Some had to ratify 15 th amendment too Reconstruction Constitutions were most LIBERAL—yes, that's a mighty fine word, look it up—in history of Southern States. Legal means to overturn Reconstruction often culminated with rewriting these Reconstruction Constitutions.
Johnson Impeached Vote to remove was 35 to 18, one shy of the 2/3rds needed Radicals didn't need to remove Johnson; by the time of his trial it was 1868, an election year; he could simply be ignored.
Major Achievements of Reconstruction 14 th and 15 th Amendments African American Participation in Public Life Readmission of Southern States
14 th Amendment National Definitions of Citizenship Equal Protection Clause Due Process Clause High Confederate Official banned from national office Confederate debt repudiated
15 th Amendment "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Failure of Reconstruction Southern whites were violently opposed to black rights; many in north were indifferent Rise of KKK Where army was present, KKK leaders were apprehended and imprisoned Land Reform—blacks (and poor whites) left to farm tenancy
"Boy, You ain't a votin' here"!
Freedmen's World Independent Churches Political Participation—600 served in State legislatures down to the 1890s. Dunningite myth still cloud's African American achievements during Reconstruction
Grant Presidency Did attempt to enforce Reconstruction Presidency clouded by scandals Republican party divided between Stalwart and Liberal Republicans—little energy left to devote to Reconstruction.
President Grant
1876 Presidential Election Disputed results between Hayes and Tilden Democrats accept result of Wormsley Hotel Conference Southerner named to cabinet, army withdrawn from south, southern pacific railway

I'm starting to get anxious about the trip. I'm trying not to obsess over it, but it's hard.
Mostly I'm stressing because B won't be able to go with me. When I thought about the trip, I'd planned it with him. I'm afraid that without him, I'll lapse back into the person I was seven years ago when I was last there instead of the person I am now. He's the only one who's been around for that shift, and I'm afraid that being surrounded by people who haven't really known me since then will drag me back.
The person I was when I left was miserable. She hated herself and spent most of her time and energy trying to destroy herself. She nearly killed herself so she wouldn't have to feel anything but that self-hatred. She couldn't even consider that she might matter, that she might deserve to live and be safe and happy. She was desperate for approval and love that only came if she was perfect, but she kept killing herself to try to win that love. She was doing the best she could in that situation, but she was miserable.
Now, I'm so much better. Yeah, I'm dealing with some pretty serious depression here lately, but not like it was before. I don't want to destroy myself anymore; I want to fix myself, even on the days that I don't see any way of doing that. When I imagined this trip, I imagined seeing all these relatives at the wedding. Naturally, they'd ask what I've been up to. I imagined telling my very Republican family, "Oh, I get Democrats elected. My record is three for three, and I'm now working on getting a governor elected who defeated DOMA and defended buffer zones, and the first lesbian attorney general. What have you been up to?" (As I paraphrased it to my former therapist, "I work for the Democrats, so fuck all y'all.")
Now, alone, I'm less certain I'll be able to hang onto my present self. I doubt I'll slip all the way back into full-blown self-destruction, but it would be easy to start letting my family bully me and not stand up for myself. That's the pattern I've enacted with them my entire life, so it's hard to pull the wheels out of those familiar ruts.
I'm worried people are going to be judgmental. My bridesmaid dress is sleeveless, so a lot of my scars will be showing. And I'm probably going to have to use my cane at the wedding, and I may even have to have a chair or something if I can't stand up for long enough. Certain family members have not been very understanding of my difficulties in the past. One aunt called me up out of the blue about a year and a half after I moved to Massachusetts. I hadn't talked to her in 2 or 3 years, but she decided to call me and lecture me about how my problems were a choice and I was hurting the family. And then there's my grandfather, who I can easily imagine mocking me for needing to use the cane, or accusing me of faking it and being over-dramatic.
My youngest sister told me the other night that she'd already planned to run interference for me if people were being assholes. I love that kid to death. We also had a conversation about how I could just whack people across the shins with the cane to shut them up. I mentioned wanting to find a way to electrify it so I could zap them if they were being assholes, but then I'm not sure the TSA would let me take it on the airplane.
And I don't know what to expect when I go to Florida to help my mother. Both my sisters say she's a lot less crazy now that she's remarried. (Well, Middle Sister phrased it as "…now that she's getting laid," but you get the point.) And most of the time I'm there, she'll be at work, so I can knock out some chores and then go to the beach or kayak with the manatees. So I think that should be manageable.
But I'm still afraid of losing myself when I go back to Birmingham. I'm trying to calm myself down about it and convince myself that being aware of the potential for that problem will let me guard against it. I'm trying not to let myself worry obsessively. I'm trying to make plans to do fun stuff with people I like so I have an excuse not to spend much time with my extended family. My sisters and I are getting matching tattoos, Little Sister and I are going to the zoo and the hands-on science museum where I used to work (possibly with Mother and Fake Stepdad, too), and Little Sister and I are going to hang out and smoke some pot. (It's medicinal!) I'm going to get together with my best friend from high school, meet her daughter, cuddle with her kitties (she breeds and shows GORGEOUS Bengals), and do some yarn shopping. I might get together with some other people, too. So I have some good things going. Hopefully it'll make the trip okay.

Inside Story11 Apr 2019 20:06 GMT Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, Africa, Middle East, Protests Sudan's defence minister says President Omar al-Bashir has been removed from office and arrested, bringing an end to his 30-year rule. Protesters have been on the streets of the capital, Khartoum, and other cities for months, calling for al-Bashir to step down. What happened instead was a military coup. Defence Minister Awad Ibn Auf said on Thursday that a military council will rule Sudan for the next two years. The constitution has been suspended, parliament, the central government and the regional governments have all been dissolved and a state of emergency has been declared. Will the military council's actions satisfy the protesters?

Plus Products 90mg Blackberry & Lemon Gummies (2019 Review)
Tricia Cleppe | February 13, 2019 | 1 Comment
Cannabis gummies are one of my ultimate favorite ways to consume the plant. Compared to infused chocolate bars, I find the slight cannabis flavor in gummies works better with fruit flavors. But as the cannabis market explodes, there are more and more options on the market. Sometimes when I walk into the dispensary, I feel completely overwhelmed by the choices and all-too-often revert back to products I know I like rather than branching out to try something new. When I get this analysis paralysis, I feel like Phil in Groundhog Day, reliving the same experience over and over again.
How do I choose when there are literally hundreds of options? We've been told not to judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to cannabis edibles, I judge hard! Packaging is the number one thing that draws me in.
When I walk into the dispensary this time, I resolve to try something new. I won't be caught in another Groundhog Day time loop! Scanning my options, the peach and cotton-candy-colored tin catches my eye: Plus cannabis-infused gummies. Beyond the vivid packaging, the flavor combination of blackberry and lemon is something I don't think I've seen before. That flavor combo sparks an unexpected nostalgia for summer days spent picking wild blackberries at my grandma's Oregon home – my interest is piqued. And a quick Google search of Plus tells me this brand was birthed in Colorado and its reputation allowed the company to expand to the largest cannabis market in the world, California.
Their blackberry and lemon gummies are coming home with me! And I'm hoping they'll bring me as much happiness as my grandma's homemade blackberry cobbler.

Take Five: Best Non-Fictional Movie Villians of the 00s
Posted by Andrew Unterberger on September 10, 2007
Possibly my favorite thing about 00s film has been the gradual embracing of the documentary as a film form not only of great artistic merit, but one of great narrative and entertainment potential as well, a trend possibly attributable to a combination of Hoop Dreams, Michael Moore and Behind the Music re-runs. Such documentaries attempt to do fiction better than actual fiction, and the best ones somehow manage to pull it off, creating stories with legitimate arcs, occasional character development, even the odd plot twist. The message? Life may or may not be stranger than fiction, but it's definitely more conventional and formulaic than you might think.
And thus, the 00s have produced a cadre of truly great non-fictional movie villains–characters that probably seem even more dastardly than they actually are, just because you know that they're actually like that (excluding suspicious editing and slanty camera angles, anyway). Five of the most sinister:
Anton Newcombe, DiG!
Ondi Timoner's titanic documentary about the little-ballyhooed rivalry between The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, two bands so ultimately inconsequential that the whole thing comes off like an indie-rock, non-fictional Spinal Tap, has more classic characters than you could shake a stick at. Still, the one that towers over them all is BJM leader Anton Newcombe, an abusive, narcissistic, would-be messianic drug addict, who perpetuates all the negative stereotypes of rock-star preening without managing to even write any halfway decent songs. Still, the quotables come fast and furious, and the package of shotgun shells and "COURTNEY TAYLOR: SURRENDER" artwork he sends the Dandies puts him into Bond villian-awesomeness territory.
It was hard to choose who to root for, watching Spellbound for the first time–Harry, the hyper, overenthusiastic young'un, Ted, the humble southern boy, or Ashley, the self-made inner city girl, among the possibilities. I just knew I didn't want the rich, snotty, grating Stagg to take home the prize (yes, potential irony alert, LOL). It wasn't just that she was cocky, though–listen to her talk about how she doesn't consider herself above her non-spelling bee friends, and how she even dumbs down her vocabulary to hang out with her less-fortunate friends. I'm sure the normally decent upper-class families of Connecticut didn't appreciate being associated with such snobbery.
Also Semi-Evil: Overbearing father Rajesh Kadakia, whose kid Neil seems like he would actually be pretty happy and normal if his father wasn't essentially blackmailing him into excelling.
The Sun, An Inconvenient Truth
For years, man has yearned to destroy the sun. Al Gore will do the next best thing–prepare for the effects its horrific power through social awareness and environmental responsibility. The battle with one of Earth's most formidable opponents has yet to really be decided, but with Al Gore going all First Blood, Part II on it, who knows, our days might not be quite so numbered after all.
Phil Towle, Some Kind of Monster
A harrowing, cautionary tale against great bands deciding to start being terrible, no one really gets out clean in Some Kind of Monster, it's all just shades of douchebaggery. That said, the movie's real moral black hole is almost certainly the band's bloodsucking and unapologetically sweater-wearing psychiatrist, Phil Towle. There's really no such thing as a non-villainous rock and roll psychiatrist, but Towle is especially squirrely–watch the scene where the band finally gets around to firing him, and he tries to use his Jedi-like manipulation skills to convince the band that they still need him in their inner circle. It's the most affirming thing in the whole movie when it doesn't work, the band essentially concluding "Yeah…actually, we don't think you're of any use at all, really."
Billy Mitchell, The King of King: A Fistful of Quarters
There's something to be said for a geek icon that doesn't shy away from his nerdlord status, I suppose, and well, there's really nothing shy about Billy Mitchell. The #1 Donkey Kong player in the known universe (until Steve Wiebe steals his title, sort of maybe kinda), Mitchell's machinations to solidify and hold onto his claim to fame are ruthless, cowardly, and at least somewhat despicable. Nonetheless, at the very least he comes off the far sexier role, as he utterly destroys Wiebe's aw-shucks confidence by just passing him by, impossibly big-breasted wife in tow, not saying a word.
Also Semi-Evil: Mitchell's acolyte and previous #2 DK player in the known universe, Brian Kuh, who practically has a nervous breakdown on-screen watching himself get hopelessly outperformed by Wiebe, feebly attempting to psychologically sabotage his play but ultimately too pathetic to affect anything of real consequence.

This was a great article. I sent it to several of my friends. My vote would go to Bobby McNamara in Fog of War, though that movie doesn't really meet your criteria.

I think the best line in "Dig!" is the one directly after the "sitar" line:
"You get hurt? Is that blood on you?"
"From where?"
"From people's FACES!"

Although, Courtney Taylor is clearly the villain in this film:

You've done everything you can to ready your vehicle for the harsh winter ahead for Waltham, but the one thing that you forgot to do is have your transmission properly inspected. If you have any of these five warning signs, you need to see a mechanic immediately or face the reality that you'll have to have a complete transmission replacement in the near future.
You should never ignore the following warning signs:
When your vehicle doesn't shift smoothly through each gear, you need to see a mechanic. Rough shifting may also be noticeable with a clunking sound or thud when you shift gears. It may also be more difficult for your vehicle to reach a desired speed due to the issue shifting.
A slipping transmission is easily noticeable. This occurs when you're driving in one gear and then all of a sudden your vehicle shifts into another gear and the shift is very noticeable. It's a very hard issue to describe, but if you listen closely to your engine you may notice a loud changing pitch as the shift occurs due to the slipping.
Vehicles should shift smoothly and there should be no delay in shifting. Delays can occur even when you move from the park position to drive. If there is a delay from your vehicle at this time and you're applying pressure to the gas pedal, your vehicle should be moving forward. If your engine revs or the vehicle is not moving accordingly, there is likely an issue with the transmission.
Leaking transmissions are normally easy to assess. You'll see that there is liquid underneath your vehicle, and you may notice erratic behavior from your transmission. You can place a piece of cardboard underneath your vehicle and check it to see if there are any fluids that are red or reddish-brown on the cardboard.
Obviously, you'll want to replace the transmission fluid, but you also need to see mechanic immediately to have the issue corrected.
Something just doesn't seem right with your transmission, and you're starting to feel the vehicle jerk when you switch gears. Your vehicle's dashboard should illuminate at this point and alert you of an issue. You never want to ignore your vehicle's warning light – even if your vehicle seems to be driving fine.
These sensors are in place to warn you that something is wrong with your engine, transmission or other vital components of your vehicle.
Transmission issues are some of the costliest to repair especially if the transmission is bad. The longer you wait to have a repair made, the higher the chance that damage will occur. It's a snowball effect, and the last thing you want to be told is that you need to replace your transmission for a repair that would have cost hundreds of dollars instead of thousands.. Instead, contact a mechanic and have your vehicle's transmission inspected.
If you are looking for a reliable shop that exceeds the experience standard, look no further than Riverside Transmission. Our combined years and years of experience mean we can accurately diagnose your transmission issue, and get you back on the road again safely. Contact us today to schedule your transmission repair.

Time for your weekly news update
- Unfortunately, this week starts with some pretty dire news, and it concerns the GAME Group, the company that owns both GAME and Gamestation which are the two biggest game retailers on the high street in the UK. Basically, due to credit problems that have been swirling around GAME in particular for a while, the stores will not be selling any titles from EA during the month of March – meaning they will not be stocking copies of Mass Effect 3, one of the most anticipated games of the year. Anyone who preordered from the stores is being given £5 worth of credit in return. Now as you might be able to guess, this isn't good – taking the decision is a very bold move on the GAME Group's behalf, believing that by not cashing in on this short term opportunity they will have the credit to support themselves throughout the rest of the year – but they are missing out on a potentially very large sum of money from not selling titles like Mass Effect 3. You have to wonder if GAME is on the verge of following the likes of Woolworth's in disappearing from the high street. I personally think that over the last few years they haven't done themselves much favour by selling second hand games for relatively extortionate prices and not having much new stock around (if your local GAME store is different, I'd very much like to know), but to the same effect the high street really can't take the hit that the shutdown of these stores would cause. Let's hope they sort the credit out and then buck up their ideas
- We have a new title announced for the autumn months – Bioshock: Infinite is getting released internationally on 19th October. The game, which has looked pretty damn spectacular from the footage Irrational Games have released since its reveal in 2010, will no doubt be one of the big hitters in what is shaping up to be another incredible Winter season for game releases.
- So the rumours weren't bollocks after all – Assassins Creed 3 will indeed take place during the American Revolution. Ubisoft very kindly decided to release the boxart today to confirm the rumours, which you can see below. Will the game work with guns and axes rather than bows and blades? Who knows – so long as they don't pull a 'Black Ops' version of history and have you kill George Washington, I don't really care I guess – Assassins Creed has never really been my cup of tea
- Finally, one of the great Sega Dreamcast games is finally getting its long awaited release on the seventh generation of consoles – it's not Shenmue. Instead, Jet Set Radio is getting a full HD remake (unlike the likes of Sonic Adventure which were port jobs). The cult graffiti-em-up title, well received first time round for its striking visuals and ace soundtrack, will be arriving on PSN, Xbox Live and PC during the summer.

The history of Sienna Ranch Baptist Church is a continuation of His Story that began before creation, climaxed at Calvary, and will be completed with the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Like two tributaries flowing into one mighty river, Sienna Ranch Baptist Church began with the uniting of two local Missouri City churches. Interesting is the fact that Colony Baptist Church and Trinity Baptist Church both originated out of Williams Trace Baptist Church now known as Sugar Land Baptist. In 2009 God united Colony Baptist and Trinity Baptist churches becoming Sienna Ranch Baptist.

After a couple of weeks, Colony Baptist Church was organized and began to meet for worship at Austin Parkway Elementary School. John Wiltshire, was called to serve as initial pastor.
1997Early in 1997, seeing the new growth and projected expansion of Missouri City while at the same time a void of churches in the area, the Colony relocated to Elkins High School. Colony Baptist Church became the first church to be started along the Hwy. 6 corridor in Missouri City. After John Wiltshire's resignation, Colony called Mark Dean in August of 1997 to become its pastor. God gave the church the vision to be "a colony of the Kingdom of God". Selflessly the church began to show God's love in practical ways to its neighbors.
1998It was by unanimous vote, on February 18, 1998, that the members of Williams Trace Baptist Church endorsed the recommendation of her Missions Committee to support the San Felipe Baptist Association, the Union Baptist Association, and the Baptist General Convention of Texas in the creation of a new Mission Church in the Sienna Plantation Development in East Fort Bend County. A part of the motion was to name, Eddie R. Alley, the initial Pastor.
Fourteen families (37 people) gathered together for the first time on February 22, 1998 in the home of Keith and Cheryl McAlpine. On March 8, 1998, by unanimous vote, the church chose the name Trinity Baptist Church. On Easter Sunday, April 12, 1998, the congregation met for the first time in the Burton Elementary School located in Teal Run.
Because of the church's sense of call to center it's ministry in Sienna Plantation with the intention of reaching out to all adjoining communities, the church relocated to Sienna Crossing Elementary school after it opened in September, 1998 and later relocated to the Sienna Club House.
1998The mission of Colony was to first minister to the families and communities located along State Highway 6 between Interstate 59 and 521. However, God also provided opportunities for the church to minister beyond our immediate home. One of our student pastors became a missionary in Istanbul, Turkey and another to Osaka, Japan. Members of our church have done mission work in China, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, and Haiti.
1999God placed in the heart of Colony the desire to search for land from which the church could gather for worship and utilize as a center from which to minister to its neighbors. In October of 1999, Colony purchased in cash a four-acre lot in Vicksburg subdivision for its church. The church completed it's first building; a 10,800 square foot multi-purpose building that is used for worship and ministry in March of 2003.
1999On August 18, 1999, the fellowship of believers of Trinity Baptist declared and Williams Trace granted their intention to move from a mission status to an autonomous church, effective August 22, 1999.
2001After a successful fund raising campaign, Trinity purchased 13.584 acres of land from Johnson Development Corporation on August 7, 2001. Trinity dedicated the holy ground to God on October 21, 2001, worshipping Him with song, testimony, the Lord's Supper, baptism in a newly purchased water trough, and the building of an altar in honor of our Lord.
2003On December 19, 2003, the church sold 6 ½ acres to the Methodist Board of Missions and begin to make plans to build on the site.
2005In 2005 God led Colony to adopt an unreached people group in West Africa. No mission organization and no church was taking the gospel to these people. During the next ten years the church would take 45 separate trips to remote villages showing God's love and sharing his truth. The church worked with Wycliffe and Faith Comes By Hearing to record the New Testament into the heart language of these dear people who did not have the word of God. In addition 150 original indigenous Bible songs were composed and recorded to be distributed with the New Testament. The church is committed to seeing these dear people know the Lord and share their faith throughout their land.
2007On June 15th, 2007, Rev. Chad Bertrand began his ministry at Trinity as Co-Pastor. The next year Eddie Alley retired.
2009-2011In 2009 God led Trinity and Colony to merge together into one church. The new combined church would meet at their Vicksburg location until the Sienna building was complete in 2011.
2017In 2017, Sienna Ranch sold their Vicksburg site to Life Pointe Community Church.

Recently considered - a radical change in my life which could include the termination of my current employment which, to lower the tone, sucks big style.

I really like Natalie Merchant. I've seen her sing on TV a couple of times, and she pulls of the "mysterious" bit really well.
I hope that the changes you make regarding your career are fullfilling.
- 11:36 pm
- Nelly said...
Thanks - changes, they are still very much at the consideration stage. Thing is I work in a 'caring profession' for a 'non-profit organisation'. Truth is the organisation is pulling out because they're not making enough 'non-profits'. Our 'founder' awards himself an unbelievably high salary and we, in reality, are an uncaring profession. The whole thing sucks. Think I'll go look after dogs for a living or grow hollyhocks.

I love Natalie Merchant she has the best female voice in all of rock and Roll. "The House Carpenter's Daughter " CD is in my opinion is uninspired. Nothing on it jumps out and sticks in your head. I will continue to buy her stuff. I will have to pull it out and listen to the song in question.
- 4:34 am
- Nelly said...
I'm buying the CD for the song only and have no other CDs of her's. My ex-husband is a big fan. What would you recommend?
- 9:02 am
Some 10,000 Maniacs stuff is actually not bad. They also put on a great live show, and despite my best efforts, I never got to chat her up.
You know, if you want musical recommendations, well, I can supply the best.
Nor do I wish to give out advice (consider you are, well, um, (a bit) older and (a lot) wiser than me) but if I was, I would say only do what makes you happy. Life is short, you only have a limited time with those you love, and should should be doing what you want to be doing.
- 9:58 am
Yet to hear Natalie Merchant but will no doubt add her to the wish list. Bright eyes, you know i'm a fan of. Being a fairly young 'un who is currently under suspicion at work, I'm not the best for advice - but i will say that you've never struck me as one of those people who's job defines them and pretty much everything they do/can do. The way you talk about your job, its sounds just that, a job to get cash, albeit one your very skilled in. I agree that you should do anything and everything you want to do - i can imagine you with green(er) fingers . . mikeyboy x take care x
- 2:47 pm
- Unknown said...
I would suggest anything by Natalie Merchant. I can fall into her powerful voice. I always get the feeling she is singing directly to me.
I just did a quick search for the cd and came up empty. I will have to do a deeper search later. She comes to town every now and then I keep wanting to go and see her live.
I missed the 10,000 maniacs the first time around and have always regretted it. I know little about that band.
- 3:46 pm
- Nelly said...
To all - the ex-husband aka living saint is a big Natalie Merchant fan since the 10.000 maniacs days. I vaguely remember her as a whirling dervish tho' have never seen her live.
To Marc - I always appreciate recomendations - I've got a good story about that, I'll tell sometime. I prefer to buy music rather than to download it as I like to support the artiste even if the shareholders and the fat cats get the biggest share. C'est la vie (sigh). So for Marc not knowing for sure if you're into this - I've got a Pixies-sized and a White Stripes-sized gap going on. What do you recommend? Feel free to give me maybe three other recommendations ,on anything you fancy (I'm not made of money y'know) as any more might hurt my silly lil' head.
To Mikey - I can feel a green-fingered thang coming on as well. Might as well get going before the Big Chill caused by so-called global warming arrives.
- 6:31 pm
Well, as for the Stripes, I still think 'White Blood Cells' is their best, but others would disagree. (I can let you *cough* preview the new one, as I did the same for someone else (ask for the link) but all I do say is if you listen and like, do buy. I could download everything, but don't. Like you, I like to buy. As then I have something to hold.) As for the old Pixies, get that latest compilation. Then over time pick up the rest. Though it is a fine disc, a good introduction.
As for my two favourite records so far this year, I would go for The Engineers and Ambulance Ltd. Arcade Fire is also good, everything else is fine, but average. Those are the stick-outs so far. Or the ones I remember right now.
And go on, tell your recommendations story, I am intrigued now...
- 8:13 pm
Surprised you have not asked me for a Pixies recommendation! My fave band of all time! I would agree with Stray Toaster though - start off with the latest compilation.
- 8:51 pm
- Nelly said...
Thanks for recommendations. I asked the ex-husband and living saint about the Pixies and he suggested 'Death to the Pixies' but it turns out it's been discontinued - the child in HMV suggested the latest compilation so now 2 people have suggested it I'll have to get that one soonest.
- 8:52 pm
- Nelly said...
Zoe - I know you are the world's greatest Pixies fan but I worry that you might think I was hinting for copies.
Anyways you are still my Main Guru for home decor. I spoke to Marty this evening and he totally agrees with you about cream being much nicer than magnolia.
- 9:57 pm
- Unknown said...
I found my CD- It is a great song. Natalie Merchant sings it with a certain raw power. I think you will enjoy it.
Any reason this song was chosen? Was it a song you picked or was it picked by your father? I think it is a very fitting song.
- 3:06 am
- Nelly said...
At times during Daddy's last illness some of the family would sit with him throughout the night. On a night my youngest sister Dede sat she told me that she sang him some songs. I asked her which songs and Wayfaring Stranger was one of them. I was very moved at this and found that I had the song in my own collection sung by Johnny Cash. It's an old trad song and has been performed by many artistes including Jerry Garcia. I'm learning to sing it myself but I canot of Johnny's version because his voice is so deep.
- 10:38 am
Thanks for the compliment Nelly. Yer not so bad yersel. Do have to point out though that it was Kristen Hersh of Throwing Muses, (now 50 Foot Wave) and not Nathalie Merchant. Thogh I did like the first 10,000 Maniacs album. Some more names for you to check out. Willy Mason, Raveonettes and Maximo Park.
Mick. xx
- 4:59 pm
Willy Mason, yup. Ravonettes, can't wait for the next record. The first EP was ace, the album a fantastic bit of surf-fuzz rock (can't believe that was what? two years ago)
Maximo Park I am as yet undecided on.
here endeth the NME lecture of the week.
- 9:31 pm
- Nelly said...
Will'y Mason, yup. Ravonettes' recommended by Marc and Mick. Sounds like a must buy. I'll hold on Maximo Park for now otherwise I'll need another bank loan. I promise reviews within a fortnight - from the Old Grey Woman Test.
- 10:17 pm
What I asid about the Ravonettes yonks ago:
- 3:47 pm
- Nelly said...
Yay! I'm so glad I ordered it. Might arrive tomorrow.

What's your skill?
Humans vary a lot when it comes to ability. Some of us compose songs that bring others to tears, some run like the wind, and others dream up new technologies that change the world. But that's only the tip of the ability iceberg. Scientists are discovering that a few of us are capable of far more amazing feats — some of which seem more superhero than human. Granted, most of these super abilities are probably genetic, but it's fun to imagine that any of us might develop one or two with a little practice.

ALTAMAHAW � The speed suddenly was there and the four-year winless drought suddenly was gone for Brad Kurth.
Dominant like never before, the Kernersville driver built a commanding lead and then held on during an intensifying finish to deliver a surprising victory in the 75-lap Late Models feature Friday night at Ace Speedway.
It was a breakthrough performance � especially considering Kurth�s finishes of 12th, sixth and 13th this season in the track�s premier racing division � and it begged a specific question.
Where did that come from?
�I owe it to my crew chief. My crew chief just changed everything,� he said, referring to Dean Ward, the former standout driver. �It�s all him. I just held on (to the car).
�To be honest with you, anybody could�ve drove that car. I�m just glad I was behind the wheel.�
Kurth said he was elated to pick up the second Late Models victory of his Ace career and first one since 2010.
He conceded that he probably overdrove his No. 9 Ford, which eventually caused a tight handling issue during the closing stages, when Dustin Rumley�s No. 88 Chevrolet charged into contention and threatened to reel in Kurth.
McLeansville�s Rumley, another driver in search of his first win this season, sliced Kurth�s lead from comfortable to tense territory as the main event reached its conclusion.
�When it got down to five-car lengths and I knew I was tight, I said, �uh oh, I might be in trouble,� � Kurth said. �I�m glad there wasn�t a caution, because I would�ve been in trouble.�
Burlington�s R.D. Smith rallied from eighth position, due to contact with Kurth, and placed third. Burlington�s Dean Fogleman followed in fourth and Blake Stallings came in fifth.
Smith was heated afterward and shouted angrily in Kurth�s direction. Smith led the first four laps, some of them in anxious three-wide fashion, until Kurth�s nudge from behind sent Smith�s No. 16 Ford spinning out of the lead.
Kurth took control from that early turning point and led the remaining 71 laps amid green-flag and mostly single-file racing conditions.
There were indications of Kurth�s capability throughout Friday. His car topped prerace practice sessions and then produced an eye-popping quick qualifying lap of 15.558 seconds.
�I didn�t know if (the speed) would stay with us, but it did,� Kurth said. �Just got real tight there at the end. I should�ve just slowed down. I would�ve went faster, but I was excited. I was trying to go as hard as I could.�
▪ In the 40-lap Limited Late Models race, Jason Payne was the beneficiary of Heath Causeys misfortune and picked up his second victory of the season during what became a destructive night in the division.
Only four cars were able to compete on the track by the end as Haw River�s Payne pulled away from runner-up Ziggy Zimmerman of Burlington on the seventh double-file restart of this bruising event.
Causey, the son of former driver Gary Causey, was poised to secure his first career Ace victory, with his No. 59 Chevrolet, by Payne�s admission, appearing to be the class of the 10-car field.
Causey led from the 11th to the 35th lap, avoiding the danger that continually bubbled up, until Alex Fleming�s No. 05 car clipped his car on the backstretch, igniting a grinding wreck that significantly damaged the front-running cars of Causey, Fleming and Trevor Ward.
The contact seemed to be Fleming�s doing. He was riding the outside line and appeared to attempt to move down behind Causey�s leading car when he contacted the rear bumper, veering Causey�s car into the concrete outside wall � and sending chaos erupting.
The usual anger and enraged fallout descended upon the track and pit area.
After Heath Causey climbed out of his crumpled car that was stalled on the track, Gary Causey marched into a group of Fleming�s team members and attacked them. Fighting ensued.
▪ In the 30-lap Modifieds race, Brian King again made quick work of whats designed to be a challenging task.
The Gibsonville standout completed another charge from the rear of the field, leading the final 24 laps and breaking away to further his stranglehold on victory lane with his fifth win in as many events in the division this season.
Per King�s winning streak, which grew to eight consecutive victories dating back to last season, his No. 17 car started last among the 11-car field.
He had risen to third position by the time a restart to the sixth lap arrived. That�s when King seized the front, hugging the new concrete apron that rings the low side of turns one and two and riding past early leader Thomas Scott and Gary Young Jr., who restarted in second position.
Burlington�s Young posted his fifth straight runner-up finish to King, who supplied the fastest qualifying time with a lap of 15.555 seconds.
Young and Corbett Ridge�s Scott, who placed third, traded positions and bumps during the closing laps as their cars encountered slippery conditions.
▪ In the 20-lap Extreme Cars race, Keith Brames return to the division was a winning one.
The Gibsonville driver, a longtime standout in this classification, led the final 13 laps and turned his first Ace racing appearance of the season into a victory.
Brame easily handled the green-white-checkered flag ending in his No. 12 car, after Ronnie Riggs� No. 44 car spun in turn four. With Billy Scoggins� No. 0 car on his outside, Brame zipped away on the race�s only double-file restart to clinch the win.
Alamance�s Brandon Sharpe finished second and McLeansville�s Scoggins placed third among the 12-car field, which kicked off Friday night�s lineup of events.
▪ Friday nights other winner at Ace was Thomasvilles Michael Tucker (25-lap Mini Stocks), the division points leader, who posted his third straight victory.
Here are Friday night�s results:

Mark Hamill thinks recasting Carrie Fisher in Star Wars would be tough
- Bang Showbiz
- 4 April 2018
Mark Hamill has said that recasting the late Carrie Fisher for 'Star Wars: Episode IX' would be "tough"
Mark Hamill thinks it would be "tough recasting" Carrie Fisher in 'Star Wars: Episode IX'.
The 60-year-old actress shot to fame as Princess Leia in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy and reprised her role in the current set of movies, however, in 2016, Fisher tragically passed away after shooting her scenes for the eighth instalment, 'The Last Jedi'.
And although Rian Johnson - who helmed the latest instalment - decided not to deal with her death in the movie, the fate of the iconic character has been left in the hands of J.J. Abrams, who is back to helm to the upcoming ninth movie.
Recently, fans have set up a petition to cast Meryl Streep to play the role of Leia in the last movie of the current Skywalker saga, but Hamill - who starred as Jedi Master Luke Skywalker - doesn't think anyone can replace her.
In an interview with Collider, Hamill said: "First of all I don't know what the specific plans were for that character but just the way Han Solo [Harrison Ford] was more prominent in seven, Luke more prominent in eight, we assumed Leia would be more prominent in nine, especially since the dynamic of having Kylo Ren [Adam Driver] as her son.
"I think it would be tough recasting Carrie because she is so indelibly linked to that character.
"They've already ruled out of a computer generated performance like they did with Peter Cushing so, gee, that's gotta be a really, not insurmountable problem, but I know that the script had been in development so that when we lost her they had to go back to square one.
"But she is irreplaceable, you know, as far as I'm concerned."
