Excellent, honest service from this skilled plumber! I had a serious water leak in an electric shower upstairs and needed an emergency plumber in the early hours to stop water leaking onto the landing. The stoptap wouldn't work.
I rang Marcus after searching YELL. He was fab. The advice he gave was excellent. He came out and explained everything so that I could understand what he was doing and why. He stopped the leak, gave me safety advice and made sure I understood what needed to happen. I received excellent, honest service from this skilled plumber.

The interpretation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to diagnose respiratory diseases is built on expert opinion that relies on the recognition of patterns and the clinical context for detection of specific diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the accuracy and interrater variability of pulmonologists when interpreting PFTs compared with artificial intelligence (AI)-based software that was developed and validated in more than 1500 historical patient cases.
120 pulmonologists from 16 European hospitals evaluated 50 cases with PFT and clinical information, resulting in 6000 independent interpretations. The AI software examined the same data. American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society guidelines were used as the gold standard for PFT pattern interpretation. The gold standard for diagnosis was derived from clinical history, PFT and all additional tests.
The pattern recognition of PFTs by pulmonologists (senior 73%, junior 27%) matched the guidelines in 74.4±5.9% of the cases (range 56–88%). The interrater variability of κ=0.67 pointed to a common agreement. Pulmonologists made correct diagnoses in 44.6±8.7% of the cases (range 24–62%) with a large interrater variability (κ=0.35). The AI-based software perfectly matched the PFT pattern interpretations (100%) and assigned a correct diagnosis in 82% of all cases (p<0.0001 for both measures).
The interpretation of PFTs by pulmonologists leads to marked variations and errors. AI-based software provides more accurate interpretations and may serve as a powerful decision support tool to improve clinical practice.
There is poor accuracy and substantial disagreement between pulmonologists when interpreting complex pulmonary function data. Automating interpretation with artificial intelligence provides a powerful decision support tool in clinical practice. http://ow.ly/Tj9h30nxw4U

Consulting the Oracle
First Meeting
Many Don't Arrive
A Meeting is Held
Alice is voted unanimously as Ambassador
Waiting to meet the Red Queen
(With trepidation )
A productive discussion did not seem in the cards
And, in fact, became quite hostile.
Things on the home front were not much better.
With a heavy heart, Alice helped prepare her friends for battle with what little she could find.
Alice listened to the Mock Turtle's prophecies of the outcome of the war.
Is the Mock Turtle going to be right?
Mr. Putin, speaker with two faces?
Mr. Netenyahu, regretful of civilian deaths?
Who will take responsibility for their actions?
Who will pretend to paint the roses red with the blood of the fallen?

Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
An article on an online science and science fiction discussion blog(*) discusses the past history and possibility of future colonization of Mars:
So, what happened on Mars? When volcanic activity halted on Mars...this once warm and inviting place, with enough atmospheric pressure and a high enough temperature to support liquid water, become a frozen rock with [a thin] atmosphere...Discuss how the end of volcanic activity on Mars caused temperatures to drop and its atmosphere to become thinner. Explain using the properties of greenhouse gases and geological activity.
(*)Jason Shankel, "How We Will Terraform Mars," December 19, 2011, io9.com/5868115/how-we-will-terraform-mars.
Solution and grading rubric:
- p:
Correct. Discusses features of the "runaway refrigerator" model of Mars' past: (a) Mars' small mass would make it unable to retain its atmosphere due to its slower escape velocity, (such that its atmosphere thins), and thus (b) unable to retain enough heat (such that its temperatures will drop). May also have discussed how Mars' oceans removed greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
- r:
Nearly correct (explanation weak, unclear or only nearly complete); includes extraneous/tangential information; or has minor errors. One of two points (a)-(b) correct, other is problematic/incomplete.
- t:
Contains right ideas, but discussion is unclear/incomplete or contains major errors. Both points (a)-(b) problematic/incomplete, or one point correct while other is missing.
- v:
Limited relevant discussion of supporting evidence of at least some merit, but in an inconsistent or unclear manner. At least understands factors that contribute to atmosphere retention and greenhouse effect.
- x:
Implementation/application of ideas, but credit given for effort rather than merit. Discusses factors other than relevant to atmosphere retention and greenhouse effect.
- y:
Irrelevant discussion/effectively blank.

The European Commission, the African Union Commission and the International Trade Centre (ITC) join forces to set up the African Union Trade Observatory, a key pillar of the African Continental Free Trade Area. The EU provides €4 million from the Pan-African Programme for the Observatory to be established.
Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development Neven Mimica said: "The new African Union Trade Observatory is another step towards the African Continental Free Trade Area, which will help the continent harness its economic potential. It will provide the African Union, the African countries and the private sector with data and statistics that are essential for the sound monitoring of continental trade and evidence-based policy-making. Our support of 4 million euros to this Observatory is another example of the Africa-Europe Alliance in motion."
The Observatory will collect data and analyse trade across borders in Africa, addressing the current lack of up-to date-and reliable data and statistics. This information will be made available for policymakers and interested stakeholders, including economic operators. This will enable them to identify promising market opportunities and will facilitate the effective monitoring of the African Continental Free Trade Area implementation and impact once in place.

bill-swift - February 9, 2012
It's hard to imagine a more petite girl with hotter legs than former Hellcat cheerleader, Ashley Tisdale.
When she dons those short shorts in public, flashing those amazing gams, we just want to offer her money to let us shave her legs. It's just our thing, wrong as it may be, it would feel ever so right.
The fact that Ashley was on her way into a tattoo parlor did disturb us somewhat. Not that we're against inking in general, and we know some of you guys out there even have quite a fondness for body art on the ladies, but, let's be honest, celebrities choose some really stupid tattoo. Like, little slogans they heard last week in Kabbalah but don't really understand, or a quote form the self-actualization book they read part of last year that is a must read in Hollywood ever since it got pimped by Oprah, that sort of craptastic. Then a few years later when somebody has the nerve to tell them what it means, we have to watch them painfully go through laser tattoo removal. Think before you ink.
In general, our philosophy remains, super hot body, don't change a thing. Enjoy.

In front of you is a muscular finn, blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He appears to be young and calm looking. His face is nearly as white as snow itself. If you look carefully its make-up to hide his face and identity. He wears completely white trench coat which allows him to stay hidden at the snow…
A tall Soviet strides towards Mika, flanked by two Mosin-Nagant-armed Reds. Bayonets are fixed; they're clearly on prisoner detail. The Soviet in the center is an officer. A Tokarev is holstered on his hip, and the Russian rests his right hand on it. "State your name," he says sternly to Mika in heavily-accented, gramatically-simple Finnish.
Mika says "I am Mika Lametti. What is yours?" Mika is tied up and lieing at the ground. He cant move his arms. He turns to face the Soviet.
Dmitri ignores the query, instead continuing with his questioning. "You will state your rank, your village, and the name and whereabouts of your next-of-kin."
Mika sighs, "You really should learn some Manners. Rank? I am not a soldier. A lowlife whose life is destroyed…" he sighs, "I am from Kuhmo."
"These are standard questions," Dmitri says, his eyes narrowing. Is it anger? Perhaps. "You will answer my questions only. If I require further elaboration, I will request it. I have not requested such. Do you understand?"
Mika nods his head, "As I said I am a drifter. I just move from town to town."
Dmitri feigns surprise. "Is my Finnish incorrect?" he asks sarcastically. "A simple yes or no will suffice." He nods to the guards next to him. "Stand the prisoner up and hold him," the officer orders.
They do so.
"Yesterday, you were part of a force that attacked Raatavaara," Dmitri says. "Where did you come from? Give me the name of the town or the closest landmark."
Mika hmms, "I am sorry, I do not know much about this places geography. I dont even know where exactly I am. If you leave me outside without my legs tied up, I cant find may way to civilization." he sighs.
Mika says "I arrived to this parts Yesterday."
Dmitri mutters to his guards in Russian, "Finns are such a simple, stupid people, to think that such a ruse could work or that a simple deception could fool even the stupidest of children."
In Finnish, to Mika, Dmitri says, "You take me for a fool. Bad mistake." The officer pulls the flap up and unholsters his Tokarev. "Hold him," he says again in Russian, then whips the prisoner across the face with the barrel.
Mika Shakes his head, "I am not trying to fool you. I have arrived only yesterday. I just skiied to a house and they brought me here. I dont think I can find my way back there even if you let me go."
Dmitri wipes the muzzle of his pistol on Mika's collar and raises it again to prepare for another blow. "Which way is it? North? South? Tell me! You dirty Finns retreated and I. Want. To. Know. Where!" He brings it down again, this time using the butt to smash Mika's nose.
Mika hmms ahhhhs as his nose gets broken and falls down on his knees "I am not lieing to you." he says with tears on his eyes, "it is a small place near the river."
The Russian soldiers immediately hoist Mika back up.
"Do you know much about history, Finn?" Dmitri gestures at the bayonets fixed to the Mosin-Nagants the guards are carrying. He holsters his pistol and pulls a bayonet off, switches it from hand to hand slowly. "There's a method that's ages old, which involves slicing the small tendon behind the ankle, crippling a man for life." He holds the bayonet before Mika's eyes. "As you can see, this is a spiked bayonet, yes? I imagine it would take many stabs, rather than slices, to get through both of your tendons."
"That said… where is this place? How many buildings? Which direction of the river?"
Mika Hmms, "I think it is east side of the river." he hmms, "I dont know. As I said I am not expert of this place. about 3 Kilometers far." he thinks, he belives what he says.
Dmitri says, "How many buildings? How large is the building? How many stories?"
Mika hmms, "It is one I think. How Large? pretty small one. They lodger everyone inside like animals.
"The Finn learns," Dmitri says to the guards in Russian. They laugh. He turns his attention back to the prisoner, saying, "How many of you made the assault yesterday?"
Mika says "Well, there were 2 others except me. They told me I was a fool to try this. Well I guess they were right…" he sighs."
"And back at the building where you're all shacked up like hens?" Dmitri prods. "How many of you are there?"
Mika says "I dont know, I met only those two there. I didnt have time to count everyone.""
Dmitri sinks the bayonet deep into the meaty part of Mika's left thigh. "My men are resting and I have all the time in the world. Perhaps you would like me to come back after I have dipped the bayonet in a latrine? Give me an estimate!"
Mika falls again, aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh "I dont know. 7-8 I think."
"I want the names of everyone you know at that location. Does it have a radio? Telegraph lines?" Dmitri wipes the bayonet on Mika's collar. "You really are a stubborn and thick-headed Finn. You could be walking out of here if you had cooperated… instead you'll limp."
Mika shakes his head, "I dont know. I met with a Vaasa or something. two guy didnt given their name." he sighs, "I do not know anything."
"Clearly, you don't know anything," Dmitri says. To the guards, he mutters in Russian, "Take this… Finn to the shed and lock him in there. If he needs a bandage, cut one from his filthy clothes."
In Finnish, Dmitri says, "Maybe solitude and hunger will mold your mind into a more cooperative state and refresh your memory."

Haven't ridden Seymour much in the last couple months. Finally got out today and noticed:
A bunch of new CMHC / BC signs that seem to be part of the recent agreement.
The sign for Forever After now says it's a Black Diamond trail. I always thought it was harder than Asian Adonis so fair enough I suppose although ironically it's the most "groomed" it's been in years. (Did they screw up the tree jump though? It felt as if I hucked to flat on it today so either it's got more kick than before or something has happened to the transition. I didn't stop to analyze though😜). I wonder what they are going to do with the rating for C-buster now?🙄
What else is new?

Sparkle On
Although the holidays have quickly come and gone, Christmas decorations are slowly coming down, Santa has already slid down our chimneys (well only if you were good this year), but it doesn't mean its time to put away the glitz and glam just yet. In my fashion rule book, sparkles can be worn any day, any time, and any season. I love finding subtle ways to incorporate some shine and sparkle into any outfit and today's outfit perfectly achieves that look. So keep on scrolling to see how I'm leaving a little sparkle behind everywhere…View Post

Filmmaker: Kimon Tsakiris On August 24, 2007, the largest wildfire in the history of Greece swept through the region of Zacharo, also known as Sugar Town. It burnt everything in its path, leaving a devastated landscape and 65 people dead. Pantzis Chronopoulos, Zacharo's mayor, was trapped by the wildfire but, while he survived, his deputy and 20 villagers died. Shortly after the fire, the government granted the mayor permission to develop the area, for 'the good of the people'. The film tells the story of how a small community and its environment can fall victim to the forces of 'disaster capitalism'.Source: Al Jazeera Tell us what you think

The ripples from the pool splashed across the cycling track and trickled into athletics as Mitch Watt took long jump silver behind ... yes, a Briton.
Watt tonight became the third Australian to win an Olympic silver long jump medal after Jai Taurima in Sydney and Gary Honey in Los Angeles — a leap of 8.16m that, by his standards, left him surprised he won a medal of any colour.
Yet Watt was the first to heap praise on the gold medallist, Briton Greg Rutherford, who won with 8.31m — the shortest distance to win an Olympic medal since Munch in 1972, when gold was worth 8.24m.
"I can't believe I am a silver medallist with 8.16m. It was pretty tough," said Watt, who has a personal best of 8.54m. Even in an injury interrupted season, he has recorded a best effort of 8.28m.
"I don't think I had my run-up nailed, and to be honest I don't think I had an 8.30m in me tonight. I don't think I jumped as well as I could have."
It would be churlish to figure Rutherford undeserving of gold, given he was the world leading jumper coming into the Games. He then nailed the two longest jumps in the final and three of the four longest in total — Watt's was the other.
"To be honest I think Greg deserved to win. He was pretty consistent and had three or four jumps at 8.20. He is my best friend on the circuit so I am happy for him," Watt said.
"I would have preferred it to be the other way around but if you had offered me a silver medal this morning I would have taken it.
"On the one hand, I have lost count of how many times I have jumped 8.30m — it is probably over a dozen competitions — so it's mixed emotions. But when I grabbed the flag and did my victory lap ... I didn't even watch the Beijing long jump and I was sitting on my couch and had no aspirations to be an Olympian, so it's been a pretty crazy four years.
"I haven't had the perfect season. I have had to be pretty cautious with what I have done. I felt good, my warm up was good, my body felt good and that is why I am a lot happier now. I gave it my all ... I had six jumps. I am a lot more happy than in Daegu; Daegu, I felt, was within reach quite easily but tonight I think Greg deserved to win."
Last year, Watt entered the world championships in South Korea as the favourite and by far the world leading jumper. Depite carrying an injury, he was disappointed with silver. Tonight, he said, was different. This time he didn't feel short-changed for he knew he didn't have that extra jump in him.
He became frustrated when, immediately after he finished competing, he as asked by an electronic media journalist to explain a "disappointing effort" and to expand on why Australia had not been doing well in London.
"I said, 'It's questions like that that make it seem like we are not doing well'. An Olympic gold medal is bloody hard to get and all the sports are becoming more competitive and more globalised. [There are] 210 countries here and if people can't realise a silver medal is a great achievement, then there is something wrong with them," Watt said.
As he did in the heats, Watt began slowly, battling with the wind and the experience of the packed stadium that heaved with throbbing music as the announcer worked the crowd into a frenzy.
"I have competed in some pretty big crowds before — Berlin was bigger than this and a few of the Diamond Leagues are 60-plus thousand — but there is a reason why the Olympics is the pinnacle," he said.
Watt fouled his first jump, as has become a trend in his jumping, and then took time to fix his run-up and get his rhythm. Fortunately he landed a modest distance of 7.97m, which was sufficient to see him move through to the final. He fouled his fourth jump, but with his fifth attempt finally found a distance (8.13m) that lifted him into the silver medal position. He bettered that jump by three centimetres with his last jump of the night.
Henry Frayne, the triple jumper who added a long jump to the hop step and jump, recorded a best of 7.85m and was pushed into ninth place, agonisingly missing the cut of eight jumpers who stayed alive for the final three attempts.

In this age of internet and technology printer is one of the most useful devices that have got an important position in almost all the offices and even some residents. With the time and technology, the printer is a necessity nowadays.
However, to get a right printer is a little tricky question. For this, one can take help of how to get the best printer buying guide as one needs to check a few areas first. The foremost important point here is to check the printing job, type of printer, printouts per minute and cost of printing. There are inkjet printers, don't matrix and laser printers in the market. One can choose any of them as per personal preference and requirement. There are also color as well as black and white printers. There are multitask printers which include scanning, copying, printing, and fax facilities with the printer.
Here are some important points that one must consider before going for a printer:
- The purpose: The foremost important point is to know the reason why one needs to buy a printer. There are many people who just need to print a few important documents to keep in the record while a few others may need to have it for photo printing. Hence one can decide a simple printer will fit his need or he needs to have a multirole one.
- The quality: The quality of a printer is another important point that one must focus on. Doubtlessly the quality printers are a bit costly, but when it comes to quality of the printing, one needs to see that there is no compromise. It must be able to offer nice printout without any line or dots on it. The printers also have different features and accordingly their prices are also fixed. Hence while looking at the price one needs to look at the features as well.
- Cost: The cost is another important aspect while going for a printer. One needs to see the budget first so can check the printers accordingly. In the market every brand has different printers with different features and prices and only the budget can help one to have a better analysis of printers which are available in his range. Usually if one needs to buy one for the commercial purpose, there are heavy duty printers what one needs to have while for the residential purpose a normal printer can also do.
- The features: One needs to check the features of the printer before going for a particular one. There are many printers which are known as multitasking while few are with one or two features only. One can go with wired as well as wireless printers as per own requirement. Hence the features can decide the type of printer and the cost one has to pay to get a particular type.
There are also a few other points such as maintenance cost, availability of parts, ease of repairing, printing capacity, print type, and recurring cost behind the ink refilling that one must consider getting the right type of printer.

Here's some video of last week's "bird-dogging Van Hollen" action. By "bird dogging," we mean attending events Van Hollen or Delaney are at, publicly (but nondisruptively) drawing attention to their Amash/Conyers "Nay" votes, and asking him about it — if possible, during any Q&A session, if not, after that in one-on-one opportunities.
We don't currently have information about either Congressperson's next local event. But when we do or when you do, here are some items to bring:
- Petitions (5-10 sheets), clipboards, pens
- Flyers (100 or more)
- Wrong on NSA 8.5*11 inch signs (20-30 sheets; print on brightly colored paper if possible). This is a Word document; download and modify as needed for Delaney events and with flip side information appropriate to the event; distribute to petition signers and friends in the audience. If you do modify an item, please send us an advance approval copy if possible (email@example.com).
For more talking points on the issue and the Amash/Conyers vote, see our coalition letter and overviews by BORDC, the ACLU, and Defending Dissent.
And if you haven't signed a paper or online petition yet, please visit our "Van Hollen, Delaney: Wrong on NSA" petition page now (easy URL: http://tinyurl.com/vhjdwrongonnsa) and add your name — thanks!

Twitch chat can be an amazing experience that brings people together, but it can also be a horrible and hateful place. Twitch channels have traditionally regulated their streams with community appointed mods, who will warn, time out and ban users who are engaging in toxic chat.
But modding channels can be difficult, especially if the viewership is large. When there are a ton of people all talking at once, the chat can be hard to follow and moderate, and sometimes the sludge seeps through and brings everyone down.
Twitch is introducing AutoMod to help with this problem. Streamers can now select from four levels of strictness that will catch language relating to identity, sexually explicit language, aggressive speech and profanity. The message will be then held in a queue that moderators will then check over. If they deny it, the message will never be posted. If they allow it, the chat will go up like normal. The user who sent the chat will also be notified that their message is under review.
What more though, AutoMod will also be able to detect "misspellings of prohibited words, potentially inappropriate strings of emotes and other characters or symbols that others could use to evade filtering."
AutoMod is currently available for English chats and will be adding additional languages soon. You can adjust your AutoMod stringency levels by going to the settings section of your Twitch channel.

Online Data Privacy: US vs. Europe
U.S. State Laws
The states generally have tort laws that let you sue and recover damages from people or businesses who violate your privacy. A few have gone even further. Minnesota and Nebraska prohibit disclosure of personally identifying information. In California and Utah, non-financial businesses must disclose how they plan to share or sell such information. See Selected State Laws Related to Internet Privacy.
However, you still have to sue whoever improperly used or sold your information (if you can find them). You must prove your case in court if they won't settle, and you can generally only recover money damages. The penalties per violation are often too small to discourage improper use of data. The Minnesota law prohibits class actions, so it's harder to combine many small claims in one powerful lawsuit. Attorney fees are recoverable in some places, which helps.
But seriously, how many people are going to suffer the stress of protracted civil litigation for the possibility of only a few hundred dollars in damages?
U.S. Federal Law
Too Little, and Usually Too Late
The primary law used by the Federal government to discourage improper use of personal data is Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act. However, the Act does not prevent companies or individuals from collecting, using or selling your personal information. It does not stop them from tracking what you do or where you go online. And it does not require them to adopt or publish policies stating how they are going to use your personal information.
What does it do?
The Act prohibits ''unfair or deceptive acts or practices" that affect commerce. And exactly what is considered "unfair" or "deceptive"? As you might expect, there is a lot of wiggle room here:
- Deceptive: In short, a "deceptive act" is one that is likely to mislead a reasonable consumer.
The classic deceptive act is the old "bait and switch". But we're concerned here with the use of your personal data, not upselling you on heated leather seats. Online businesses that don't adopt or publish a privacy policy might be able to do a lot with the personal information you give them and not run afoul of the law. What if a social media site doesn't tell you how it's going to use your information and then sells or uses it to deny you credit? Is that misleading? With headlines everywhere these days about Google and Facebook using your personal information for profit, maybe it's no longer reasonable to assume otherwise.
- Unfair: An "unfair act" is one that causes substantial injury that the consumer could not reasonably have avoided and is not outweighed by benefits to competition or other consumers.
So...it's OK if some consumers get hurt so a new business can gain a foothold in the marketplace? Corporate profits over personal injury? That doesn't seem like the right balance.
How is the act enforced?
Only the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") can file complaints against those it believes has violated the act. You cannot. But the FTC can't possibly resolve every problem for the millions of internet users in the U.S.
If the FTC decides not to file a complaint against a company that has misled or injured you, there's not much you can do, except maybe sue the company in state court. Have fun with that.
Even when the FTC does file a complaint, it is often too late; after a lot of your personal information has already been collected and used…and the damage has already been done.
Are we doing anything about this? According to the New York Times, attempts to enact better Federal legislation to protect information privacy have stalled. Big surprise.
Privacy Rights in Europe
The European Union is heading in the opposite direction; toward more online privacy. A 1995 law already provides some rights to internet users; and various EU member countries have their own laws as well.
A proposed new privacy law would protect online users in Europe even more and would apply to companies located outside the EU. It goes far beyond U.S. law. Among other protections, it would require social media and other companies to:
- Get permission to sell users' personal information;
- Disclose to users what information the companies have about them; and
- Delete such information on request (called the "right to be forgotten") .
The proposed law also includes stiff penalties for violations and would apply to all EU countries if adopted.
Facebook is clearly concerned about this type of legislation, mentioning in several places in its recent IPO that new laws, regulations or lawsuits could hurt its business. Facebook virtually ignores the damage (other than to itself) that irresponsible use of personal information could do to millions of ordinary people. Apparently it's all about squeezing every drop of profit out of the bottom line (or at least having the ability to do so).
Facebook has already had problems there. In August of 2011, the Northern German State of Schleswig-Holstein found that Facebook's "Like" button tracker violated German and European privacy laws; and ordered all sites in the state that use the Like button to remove it or face big fines.(1)
Microsoft also seems concerned. Its chief operating officer and associate general counsel in Europe recently said the proposals "may be too prescriptive" (we think he meant "PROscriptive", but we get the point).
We're guessing that Google, which profits from your personal data much more than Facebook, is not happy about it either.

Catherine Hardwicke Rides Into SXSW
Posted by Stephen Saito on
One of the great elements of Catherine Hardwicke's films throughout the years has been a sense of place and community, whether it was the loose-knit family of orphaned Southern California skaters in "Lords of Dogtown," the tenuous, hard-won relationship between the warm-hearted vampire clan of the Cullens and the occasionally chilly human population of Forks, Washington in "Twilight" or even in her latest film "Red Riding Hood," where Amanda Seyfried's titular character goes from beloved daughter and belle of the town to an outcast whose societal freefall after her encounter with the big bad wolf feels particularly cruel given how strongly the director sets up the world around her.
So there's little surprise that Hardwicke's "Director's Workshop" Saturday afternoon at SXSW, which is fast becoming a home away from home for the helmer who went to the University of Texas' School of Architecture after growing up in the Texas bordertown of McAllen, had a most unusual vibe for an established filmmaker addressing a crowd of aspirants — one that felt as though we're all in this together.
This was evident from the moment when the scrappy filmmaker in Hardwicke asked the crowd "Who had the best scam?" before moderator Hollywood Reporter's Jay A. Fernandez could calm all the hands that were about to be raised. It was the kind of panel where "Twilight" was oddly only mentioned once near the end, and Hardwicke felt obligated to detail the geography of the scene of Bella and Edward flying caroming from tree to tree, but where her first film "Thirteen" was celebrated and treated as a master class on shooting economically.
As Hardwicke demonstrated through a fast-forwarded version of the entire film, she demonstrated the very deliberate and gradual shift in colors from dull to vibrant to reflect her main protagonist's increasingly wild life and then brought out floor plans of the house she used in the film, a form of preparation that was born out of her pre-directorial career as a production designer on such films as "Vanilla Sky" and "The Newton Boys," and showed how every camera move utilized the angles available to her at that particular home.
Although she was a pro at figuring out landscapes early on, Hardwicke admitted when she first started she knew her way around an actor's process far less, telling the crowd, "All the films I was a production designer, I didn't realize I should respect the actors more." With her "Red Riding Star" star Shiloh Fernandez sitting next to her on the panel, this led to a discussion of how Hardwicke took improv classes herself to realize what kind of space actors actually need, why she wants her actors to understand and personally connect to every line they say (Fernandez said the process gave him a personal way into the material), and in a moment of levity, how she navigates the "nipple zones" (what areas Hardwicke is respectful of while shooting during intimate scenes).
Afterwards, Hardwicke was kind enough to speak to me about taking on the role of mentor, something that she's not only did with the panel, but as an executive producer on Janet Grillo's drama "Fly Away," which is making its premiere at the festival, what effect being the "Director of 'Twilight'" has had on her, and why SXSW was a welcome distraction this particular weekend.
How did you feel being amongst all those aspiring filmmakers at the panel?
Wasn't it wild? It was fascinating. It was a big, interesting crowd of people in there. Whatever happens, if I can get one or two people inspired, give them a good idea of the way I do it, they can change it and maybe they can do it better than me, but at least it shows them hey, this is one technique you can use.
Amanda Seyfried has talked about the extensively designed books you created as a resource that really sold her on making "Red Riding Hood" – is it something from your background as a production designer to plan in such a way?
On "Red Riding Hood," it was a really big deal. Everything…we had to design all those sets from scratch. We're trying to visualize a whole world. What could it look like? Nobody knows what it'll look like and you have to do a sketch and you have to get a budget and how much will it cost to build that thing? So the studio has to get some clue if we can afford this project and how big does the set need to be and can a horse fit around there?
As a marketing device, it's great, but as director of varied interests, how has it been to have "From the director of 'Twilight' appear on the poster?
It's good and bad. I said, "Could I have 'Lords of Dogtown' on there and 'Thirteen' too?" And like "Nobody knows those movies." [laughs] I was like…[shrugs shoulders] No, I said, does it only have to be that? But I don't really get to choose what they put on the poster. I would've rather have some other movies too, but I think it's good and bad when you say "Twilight." Some people love it and a lot of people love to hate it.
The one connection the two films have is some very strong chemistry between the leads and one of your stars Shiloh Fernandez mentioned during the panel that you were very keen on asking the actors about what every line means to them personally. Do interesting things come out of that process?
Oh yeah, because sometimes I think it means something – that line – and they might've interpreted it in a different way and maybe we need to change it or shade it different. Or maybe it's too serious and we need to give it a little spin and make it a little lighter.
I've never been able to talk to a director of such a big movie on an opening weekend – I know you've been able to distract yourself with SXSW, but is it a nerveracking experience?
It's pretty nerveracking, but really at that point, you can't do anything. The baby's out there. Maybe you could run nude through New York City to get some free publicity, but besides that, it's kind of like it's done, so to me, I love Austin and I love this festival, so I was just trying to think of any excuse to come. I said to Janet [Pierson, the festival chief], "Can I do a panel or speak?" just to have an excuse to come. [laughs]
You also had another excuse as an executive producer on Janet Grillo's film, "Fly Away," which is here at the festival. Is being a mentor a role you embrace?
It's kind of a nice privilege. I think Janet made a movie that is very much from her heart. It's very intense and it's very much about her life and it's important for a lot of people to see that film, so I'm happy to support her in a little small way.
What's up next for you? You've been attached to many things the past few years.
There's "Maximum Ride," "Maze Runner," and "Hamlet" – I don't know which one will go. I'm not trying to be coy. You just don't know what the studio will decide. I thought a different project was going to go at Summit. I was doing "If I Stay" and then all of a sudden, they didn't say yes and Warner Brothers said "yes" and you're like, okay. So you've got to have a few things cooking and then maybe none of the ones you thought were going to go might go and suddenly another one will come from outer space. Or maybe I'll make a little no budget movie. I don't know.
"Red Riding Hood" is now open wide.

Catch Me When I Fall by Vicki Leigh
Daniel is a 200 year old Protector, people who spend their afterlife protecting humans from Nightmares, which are creatures who invade people's minds and make them go insane. Daniel's job is a Catcher, someone who stops the Nightmares, and he partners with other Catchers and at least one Weaver, whose job it is to bring humans dreams. When Daniel is assigned to protect Kayla, a sixteen year-old girl in a mental institution, he knows he'll have his work cut out for him—and this goes double when, during his first night on duty, Kayla is attacked by six Nightmares at once. The race is one to find out why Kayla is a special target, but the more Daniel digs into Kayla's history, the more he finds himself attracted to her.
For the most part, I really liked Daniel's character, and he was the right choice as the focus on this story. His personality and the world-building is established immediately, and there's a lot of history between Daniel, Seth, Sam, and Tabbi that is hinted at; I got the impression that these were people who'd been friends for a long time. They shared stories, had that easy lingo that exists among friends, and it simply made them human. These characters are also funny, which is a huge plus for me in a paranormal book. Some of the older characters like Giovanni, Bartholomew, and Trishna aren't as fleshed out, but they don't have to be; they serve their given roles well.
But if you don't like Kayla, this book might not work for you because the stakes of the story are tied up in Kayla, her past, and her budding relationship with Daniel. I personally found Daniel and Kayla's relationship to be freaking cute, and they share a lot or realistic couple moments. Kayla is the catalyst that raises Daniel's mission from 'everyday business' into 'life-threatening weirdness.' Kayla, as a character, worked best for me early on the in the novel when she was institutionalized. After she leaves the hospital, I never felt she grew much as a character, even as her relationship with Daniel progressed. In the end, Kayla was supposed to have a connection to the antagonist that felt hollow for me, which is a shame because it did weaken the finale of the story.
This gets to the larger plot issue in this book: the ending didn't feel like it had the emotional weight it needed to have. Maybe it happens too quickly or the bonds between various characters never materialized, but the villains ended up feeling weak. There should seriously be an emotionally strong reaction to the climax of this story, but it just rang a bit hollow for me. The ideas are there, and the protagonists are fleshed out, but there's never a moment when I believed Kayla would go 'dark side'; it just wasn't a plot that was set up, and nothing in her character up until that point indicated it would be. Daniel's battle with the surprise villain of the story also should've carried more weight, but there was never a moment where I felt Daniel cared for this character as a person, so the betrayal at the end didn't register anything more than a superficial reaction.
That said, there are some great twists and battles building up until the finale that are satisfying; Daniel and Kayla face off against a wraith, which really gets the plot rolling. There's a great feud between Daniel, Seth, and Ivan early on in the novel as well that establishes that everything might not be sing-alongs and hand-holding circles in Protector manor; they're the good guys, sure, but not all of them are good people. There are copious fights against Nightmares and the witches and warlocks use powerful magic throughout the story, too. Kayla's flashback showing how she was put in the mental institution is intensely real, and I loathed the way her mother treated her after the incident; that entire scenario felt so real to me.
There's a lot of good character work with the protagonists in this novel. They're funny, they're grounded in an interesting world, and the main protagonists feel unique. The initial plot and premise was very interesting, and it kept me wanting more. However, the plot did fall apart near the end, and the emotional stakes between protagonist and antagonist didn't quite reach the level they needed to for this story to deliver on its strengths.
Random Thoughts:
- "Lasso my heart" was a very beautiful line—one of the best ways I've seen a budding romance described recently
- I would read a novella about Seth's antics with the Pope.
- The Veronica Mars dream would've been so worth having nightmares for.
- Daniel's crack about girls liking to shop made me dislike him for a while. Seriously, dude? You've been a live 200 years, and that's what you take away from your time watching women? It's a joke, but still—UGH.
- I wanted more Ivan and Nolan because they're both sardonic a-holes, which are my types of characters.
Read if: You want a paranormal romance with a strong, male romantic lead who doesn't read poetry or swoon. The relationship in this story is seriously cute but not sappy.
Beware if: You want a story with interesting villains. This story doesn't have one, unfortunately, even though it has plenty of supernatural monsters.
My rating: 4 stars because Daniel was the main character and the world building is strong, but the villians let me down.

The Book of Acts is a book that many christians are familiar with. Yet, not many has preached on the whole book of Acts. While I do see many good commentaries out there on the book of Acts, some of them are far too technical for the layperson, others are far too brief to be helpful for the pastors preaching.
EP has now published something that lies in the middle, a commentary that discusses about technical things, but not too overly detailed about it. And it has some nuggets inside that the pastor will be able to use in his preaching.
I have found this commentary to be very readable. I think any layperson will be able to pick it up and use it without any issues at all. Although this might seem to be a very readable book, Waters shows the readers he has done his research by the sources he reference with, and the issues he discusses about.
I have found the application section especially useful within this commentary. Every so often, after exegeting and explaining the bible text, Waters brings up the application of the text. This is akin to what you will find in the NIV Application Commentary, though considerably shorter, yet it helps the pastors to think through how the teachings in Acts can be applied even to christians today.
As a comparison, this commentary is similar to what you can find in the Focus on the Bible Commentary series, or the Mentor Commentary series. I have found it useful and helpful in helping me understand Acts a lot more.
Rating: 4 / 5

Aya want a nice kitchen
As it turns out, we won't be going with the Lowe's cabinets after all. Our electrical quote came in much lower than expected, the bin rental was also lower than our estimate, which meant getting the Aya Kitchen was back in consideration. We did flipflop on this one… Aya doors looked and felt nicer, had nice hardware, but the upgraded Lowes cabinets were plywood construction with dovetail joints. Lowes was also cheaper but we'd have to take care of the extras (like glass doors) whereas Aya was all in one and the price difference now wasn't that great. Seeing the great Aya kitchen at Junebug & Frisco's place helped seal the deal. In the end, we decided to go with the Aya.
So here is the revised kitchen plan which is a little different from the Ikea plan mockup I put together. Let's take a tour.
This is the west kitchen wall. The leftmost cabinets are the new workstation. We used to have a narrow pantry there but two days ago, but thanks to HandyMan's handy skills, that is now gone and this new space is framed in. We'll put cookbooks in the open shelf along with an iPod docking station with wireless speakers. We're not big audiophiles and figure we can just move the speakers from the kitchen to the living room if needed. Below the uppers, we'll have a wall-mounted flat screen TV on an articulating arm. The lower cabinets will house the bigger appliances – KitchenAid stand mixer, blender, George Forman grill etc. To the left of this workstation, on the wall leading down the hallway, we'll be putting a full-length chalkboard. It'll be framed out in the same Shaker style as the cabinets and will have a strip of hooks mounted on top to hold keys (the side entrance enters right near this chalkboard). I really wanted to have a hidden cabinet behind the chalkboard, but the studs are too close together at that point, so this is the best solution.
The doorway leads into the dining room. To the right of the doorway, we have storage galore. Lots of deep pot drawers and uppers! Around the range, we've got a pull-out spice rack on the left and narrow cabinet for cookie sheets on the right. Since the stove is being moved from the other wall, HandyMan will have to run the air vent through the ceiling and out to a new hole through the exterior brick. Hole in brick? Yikes! The run of cabinets stop short of the sliding glass doors on the north end of the room. You can see our whole kitchen from the back deck (which really creeps me out sometimes), so I may put some drapes in front of the sliders.
On the east kitchen wall, we've got a full-height pantry on the left with a mix of fixed and pull out-shelves. Beside that is the counter-depth French-door fridge. In the base cabinets, we've got a pull-out with two metal shelves (to house baking supplies, rice, bulky items etc); dishwasher, a pull-out recycling drawer, and a bank of drawers. If we had put the dishwasher on the right of the sink, we'd have room to widen the metal shelves enough for them to store the KitchenAid… but that would mean the dishwasher was visible from the dining room. Not good. So, we'll live with this setup and I'll have to crouch below the workstation to get the KitchenAid for those once-in-a-blue moons when I do some baking. The uppers on either side of the window all have glass fronts and will keep this wall of cabinets from feeling heavy. I'm thinking we paint the back of the cabinets, maybe a pale yellow to tie in with the dining room, and to make my white dishes pop.
To finish off the room, we'll have a roman blind shade on the window, a hanging schoolhouse mini-pendant over the sink, 4 recessed pots, and a fresh clean palette of white, grey, touches of yellow, and black. We're pretty happy with the layout of our tiny galley kitchen. Anything we've forgotten?

Nope, I don;t think you've forgotten anything! Wowsers it looks fab! Can't wait to see it come together! Just to let you know too, your study totally inspired me...and we finally (nearly!) finished ours on the weekend. Just the splashback style pinboard to so now! I am sitting at the new desk now!ReplyDelete

Love the glass fronted cabinets. I did one during my kitchen redo, and put one of the recessed cabinet lights at the top of it with glass shelves. Makes my dishes look a lot fancier than they are!ReplyDelete
Can wait to see what it looks like finished...
- Anonymous9:19 AM
This looks great. It'll be fun to see how it all turns out from kitchen demo and early sketches to finished product (I'm sure you guys feel the same way)! -JuliaReplyDelete
Peachy - that's great! Do you have a blog? Would love to see the After of your office :)ReplyDelete
Kitliz, we debated whether to have glass shelves and recessed lights too. But with the pendant light, 4 recessed pots, and undercabinet lighting, we were thinking it might be a bit much for our small kitchen. Took a peek at your flickr kitchen pics... you did a great job on your reno!
Thanks Julia. You're right...I'm already getting impatient!

What is the cost for your cabinets from aya? We are thinking of going with them over Ikea.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous5:28 PM
My husband & I had an Aya Kitchen installed in April. We are still waiting for 2 replacement doors and a faceplate....it is now June.ReplyDelete
We aren't getting any response from our designers in Barrie ON ..Northern Design....lousy customer service...they demand your full payment before the truck is unloaded...before you can even check that everything is there and not damaged.
Well ours was damaged, salesman is not helpful, neither is the "service dept", service?? what service???
SO I AM SPREADING THE WORD, buyer beware of the policies of these so called design specialists and DEMAND to be able to examine the shipment BEFORE you pay.
- Anonymous9:12 AM
Do not buy anything from Aya. They take out and shoot their customers regularly. The only honest person in the whole deal was the sales person. How scary is that !!ReplyDelete
And, she left the company in a hurry.
I am still waiting on completion of the kitchen 5 month after initial installation was supposed to complete. No one in the branch or headquarters gives a damn. But, if they smell a buck they are on it like a pack of hungry wolves.
Anons - that's unfortunate that you've had a poor experience with Aya. But thanks for leaving your comments...I think buyers near to hear both sides of buying from a particular supplier.ReplyDelete
From my own experience, I have nothing but good things to say so far. There was a miscommunication with the installer and he ended up working a 11-hour day to get our kitchen in, even offered to install our non-Aya knobs for us free, so from my perspective their service is excellent.
I also paid for the cabinets in full before installation and didn't inspect them when they came off the truck. However, we have a post-installation inspection to deal with deficiencies (of which I haven't seen any) so it wasn't a big worry.
- Anonymous11:33 AM
I am truly glad that your issues were minimal. It is good to hear that they do right by some customers. I have given up on them and created a story describing my pain dealing with the dark side of customer service (ayakitchenssucks.us). Hopefully you will never experience it.

So I have a new friend coming over for the Superbowl and they like white wine. I will drink white wine if I have some asian pears, if it's really hot outside or I can mix it with juice; overall however, I am a red wine girl (well, actually I am a whiskey girl, but sometimes I like to put on airs and pretend to be high-class….) and know nothing about white wine besides you serve it cold and in a narrower glass. (Thank you bartending college….)
Also for said new friend, I get to have a pretendish dinner party. It's going to be me, husband, new friend and maybe the girl child. But its going to be lowkey…I'm only making a couple of fancy dishes….the Camembert Poutine (sweet potato fries rather than gnocchi, I ain't got time for that shite) ala Nadia G, and my peach balsamic baked brie….BUT we are also having the lil'smokies in bbq and chips and dips and all that crazy manjazz. hahah, that looks bad. "manjazz"
Damn it, I digressed.
Back to wine.
Anyway, I texted said new friend and asked about years (vintages?) brands and varieties…not being a white wine wino, I know Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Moscato and Chardonnay, but I know there are more and I know nothing about the differences. New friend finally texted back, but I had already purchased my wine.
You know how I picked?
The bottles.
There are pinups on them and that matches my house's motif.
Can I be a misogynist and a woman? Damn it. I do like me a hot cheesecake pinup. *giggle* It's a mini-obsession.
OH! So yeah, therein lies the hypocrisy. I make fun of people for picking teams because of the QB's looks, but then here I am picking wines because of the scantily dressed women on the bottles. Judging a book by its cover….
But come on! At least it's local winery! See:
I'm supporting local industry! Does that give me some credit? No?
Oh well. The bottles match by Pinup Porter beer collection 🙂
