Speaker: UPDATE: Jimmy's best films of 2014 (now with bonus least-liked!)
11 Responses
"I like Interstellar and you don't. Tough."
You're going to have to picture the kind of "it's funny because it's true" grin on my face that's physically painful because it happens so seldom. I'm certainly looking forward to another Film Society season where Jimmy's going to strongly like some things I can't stand (and vice versa) because he's got the trick of holding -- and defending -- a strong critical opinion without being a cock about it.
Excellent reviews Jimmy, thanks. I also loved Boxtrolls (as did my 8 year old boy). We have the Blu-ray, and I predict years of happy rewatching. Haven't seen Birman yet, but am looking forward to it a lot. One movie you didn't mention was Boyhood. I loved the audacity of this and the real raging of the characters. Made me cry and has haunted me since I saw it.
I look forward to your next lot of reviews.
Nightcrawler is the only movie here I saw and it certainly rates as a highlight of 2014. But it was such a good year for cinema, also August, Ossage County, Calvary, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mr Turner, Locke (especially after seeing Boyhood the week before). Thanks Jimmy.
Dark Horse, for me.

Thank you, Jimmy! Great reviews - really like how you analyse why a movie is good, rather than just regurgitating the plot as reviewers so often do. It's given me some very tempting leads for my catch-up movie watching...
Thank you for all liking my new video. Though, I just know I may have left at least two film out that I forgot about. LOL.
I actually wanted to make this video earlier in the month, but I just didn't have the energy because of how bloody hot it's been. Seriously, It hasn't been until recently that it's finally cooled down to just low enough for me to feel like doing some of my own casual work.
Anyway, glad you all like my video, and here's to another fine year of movies.
See ya.
Rosemary McDonald, in reply to
I haven't watched a movie in ages, Jimmy, for various reasons.
One reason would be total disillusionment with films in general...(and telly)...is there nothing new? Different?
Your enthusiasm for your "best choices " makes me think I should make more of an effort.
My favourites, from years past? "The Abyss."..directors cut...awesomeness incarnate...and
"Smilla's Feeling for Snow".
I am looking forward to watching the Swedish "Millennium" series, because I've just read the books.
Keep it up.
linger, in reply to
I may have left at least two film out that I forgot about.
Can we safely assume that means they weren't quite as awesome as the ones you could remember to include?
Thank you for your recommendations.
We only ever watch movies now on blu-ray at home - the pause button, the big screen, the glass of wine and the absence of that annoying idiot three rows back - has meant our days of going to the cinema are over.
So having your thoughts on movies to buy and your reasons helps a lot. Who knew a movie reviewer could actually give their reasons for an opinion!!!

Agree totally with yourBirdman review Jimmy. Still trying to work out why it was so good and maybe another viewing would help.
Not for those who enjoy trite endings.
Thanks Jimmy. I know, how great was Night Crawler ! Just such a great psycho was the lead character. Kind of interesting too how it exaggerated but played on the utterly bleak dismal aspect of ratings driven tv news. Interstellar - it did have a few good psychedelic moments, but just too cluttered for me, and too much sci fi space babble but hey - cheers.

Canadian Wolf
Linda O. Johnston
Harlequin Nocturne, Sep 1 2015, $5.75
Aware of the success of Alpha Force (see Loyal Wolf), Canada wants a home-grown team of shapeshifters to work on cases to similar those performed by this unique American military unit. Thus the brass assigns Alpha Force Lieutenant Selena Jennay to help the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to create their own shapeshifting team led by purebred human Sergeant Major Owen Dewirter.
Having had a dangerous experience with a shifter; the Canadian accepts the existence of the subspecies; but rejects the premises of changing without a full moon stimulus and retaining human cognizance in the beast form. To quickly provide him with proof of assertions, Selena changes into her wolf. Though he distrusts Selena and others like her, Owen insists on a real field test: rescue kidnap victims, catch their abductors and expose the traitor inside their team. Falling in love was not part of the mission.
The latest Alpha Force police procedural urban fantasy romance (see Untamed Wolf and Undercover Wolf) provides newness with the international twist and the gender-bending lead couple. Although the storyline starts somewhat slowly ironically due to the two fresh spins, the appealing leads and support cast make for an interesting romantic suspense.

You'd think being stuck in the body of a beautiful seventeen year old girl forever would be a gift. But when you are fallen, it is more like a curse.
Indiana was a beautiful angel, enjoying the perks of Heaven, until she was tricked by a demon to fall in love with him. She was forced to fall from Heaven and remain in her seventeen year old form, banished to Earth, for all of eternity.
Now, unable to cope with her banishment, she is a seemingly normal seventeen year old girl by day, while she spends her nights punishing men for the wrongs they have committed against women.
Although Indiana has lived on Earth for thousands of years, she recently settled into a small town, where she has finally been able to make some lasting friendships. When a handsome, mysterious boy comes to town, Indiana knows something is not right. He might end up her ally, or she might end up in the fight of her life.
I don't think I have ever met such a kick-butt Angel as Indiana.I mean she personifies the Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't kick your butt.I was really reminded of a somewhat nicer Rebeka from Vampire Diaries.Indy, as her friends call her has a select group of friends.Her closest friend Connor is her rock.When Nate comes to town all hell breaks loose..Literally,He is a demon hunter sent to hunt Demons,For some reason Nate is tasked with Killing Indy.Will he go through with it or will he become her ally?
The writing flowed very well.The story itself was easy to follow and drew you in. It was a somewhat fast read for me,but I thoroughly enjoyed it .Its always great when an Author finds a new way to write about Angels.I love love love reading about Fallen Angels so this book is right up there in that Category.Great Job Aria!!

Thin-film solar module manufacturer Stion has commissioned a 12 kW fixed latitude ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system at the DOE's New Mexico Regional Test Center (RTC), located at Sandia. The system will be monitored and tested to collect a range of data related to the system's performance and reliability in New Mexico's hot, arid climate.
DOE's SunShot Initiative established five RTCs across the US to independently validate the performance and reliability of PV and concentrated PV systems in various weather and climate conditions. The objectives are to collect performance data that can support commercialization of new technologies, facilitate development of standardized protocols for PV system validation, and accelerate PV deployment throughout the US.
Sandia co-manages the RTC program with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Commercial partners are invited to submit their interest in hosting a system at the RTCs.

It's World Water Day, a United Nations-driven initiative that aims to increase global awareness of sustainable development. Among the many consequences of climate change, few are so frightening as the consequences of a future when water is a rationed, scarce resource. The myriad issues are contentious and alarming.
Global news agencies have for decades covered the devastating droughts of eastern Africa, and southern Asia. More recently, Australia's 'Millennium Drought' captured international media attention and cost the Australian government more than $4.5B in assistance funding during the drought's 15-year official duration. And today, USA Today is asking whether it's time for a national water policy in America, as it considers the drought that now covers more than half of the United States.
In few places is the overuse of water more evident than California's central agricultural valley. To drive through the valley is to travel between lush, fertile properties (owned by those who can afford to pay the ever-increasing costs of irrigation) and fallow spaces that are stark dustbowls in comparison. Now four years into an emergency-level drought, California just experienced the driest January since 1850, when records were first kept.
Of course, climate change also creates major floods, so water issues aren't only about scarcity. In eastern North America this year, record snowfall is driving up water levels in the Great Lakes, home to 20% of the world's fresh water. Understanding the toll such heavy precipitation takes on infrastructure and cities is just the first step to adapting to this new reality.
Managing water consumption
In the next decade, water is likely to be the most important policy issue in America, eclipsing undocumented immigration and foreign affairs. And the United States is not unique in this regard: In many countries around the world, 'water security' is an important dialogue that's well under way.
Effective policy always begins with effective public engagement, and that, in turn, begins with awareness raising. World Water Day aims to increase awareness of water's foundational role in all aspects of life—health, nature, urbanization, industry, energy, food, and ultimately social equity.
The average American takes a five-minute shower every morning, using as much water as an average person in the slums of a developing country might use in an entire day. Fresh, cold, potable water is available at the turn of a tap, whereas the norm in other countries is a long walk to a community well. In short, the availability of clean, fresh water is taken for granted.
A carbon footprint quantifies GHG emissions. We should do the same with water. But water's even more complicated.
It's imperative as water becomes more scarce that each of us understands how much is realistic and sustainable for us to consume. One mechanism for this learning might be a 'water footprint.' Tony Maas, former Director of World Wildlife Fund's freshwater program, and a respected consultant on water policy and issues, explains the concept: "In the same way that a carbon footprint quantifies the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by a product or organization, a water footprint quantifies the amount of water required" to produce goods. Responsible individuals also use the concept of a carbon footprint to consider their own personal impact; we should do the same with water. But water is even more complicated.
It takes more than 2,400 gallons of water to produce just one pound of market-ready meat, while a pound of wheat uses just 25 gallons. To really understand the impact of our own lifestyles on the planet's water resources, we must integrate facts like this into our calculations. Thinking beyond the water in our morning showers, or in our meals, to its involvement in production of the clothes we wear and so many other aspects of our lives becomes a very complicated proposition very quickly.
Managing business impact
If counting water is too complicated to be realistically achievable for the average individual, perhaps its incumbent on businesses to be more careful about their water use and more explicit and transparent about it and related themes.
Maas describes the "invisible risks" businesses face in an interconnected, global economy, in the context of corporate water footprints. "Early efforts by business and industry to understand and assess these risks have tended to focus on their operational water footprint—on the implications of local or regional water issues for local production facilities. But in a world of globalized trade, supply chains for most products reach across continents and often stretch around the planet." So impacts on local water systems far afield from central corporate operations pose potential risks to the company.
Water must be included as a key aspect of companies' CSR materiality analyses. The apparel industry, for example, increasingly recognizes the importance of its impact on fresh water, and companies are individually and collectively taking steps to foster conservation efforts.
It can take 100 gallons of water to produce a single pound of cotton—so it's four times as thirsty as wheat. Add to this the fact that more than 20% of the world's commercial products is now manufactured in India, China, Bangladesh and Pakistan—not countries known for their abundance of water—and the challenge is clear. Some brands are seeing this challenge as a significant marketing opportunity: Levi Strauss recognized the amount of water consumers use to wash their jeans, and encouraged them simply to wash them less often!
Breakthroughs in waterless dyeing, and manufacturing using recycled ingredients, are two more ways that companies have been conserving water.
Managing natural ecosystems
Ultimately, the most important global policy effort needs to focus on restoring and preserving natural ecosystems. As climate change continues to shift rainfall patterns, and as an increasing global population puts greater and greater pressure on underground aquifers and other 'permanent' sources of water, the world could face a 40% shortfall of water in the next 15 years.
The UN's annual World Water Development report, which was released in New Delhi a couple of days ago, urges policy makers and communities to focus on conservation and wastewater recycling. More than 80% of India's massive population relies on groundwater for drinking, because surface water is so heavily bacteria-laden and polluted. In India, as in California, those aquifers are not replenished by nature as rapidly as they're drawn down by human consumption.
Governments must intervene, writing policies and legislation requiring industries to constrain (or cap) their water use, to incentivize innovation in manufacturing, and to halt outflows of industrial effluent that damages drinking water.
In the end, water is a finite resource. Inconceivable as it might be to those who enjoy water in abundance, the fact remains that if people, business and governments don't act responsibly, they could all be parched by the consequences.

Western Rams juniors learn plenty at Emerging Panthers mini camp
SPENDING time in a classroom and more than four hours of hard work - it hardly sounds like the way some of the best young rugby league talents in the Central West would choose to spend part of their school holidays.
But when the lessons are coming from the likes of former Penrith Panthers star Kevin Kingston and hard work entails training sessions which could one day lead them to the NRL, well, it's something the Western Rams juniors relished.
On Wednesday members of the under 16 and under 18 Western Rams squads joined with a number of Penrith locals to take part in an Emerging Panthers mini camp.
They took part in a welfare education session with Kingston as well as on field skills and opposed sessions.
Panthers Academy coach Ben Harden said the day not only gave him a chance to better cast his eye over the talent within the Western Rams' ranks, but to expose the talented teenagers to the world of professional league.
"Throughout the year I've only had glimpses, I've had an hour here, half an hour with our players, so to bring them to a central venue and have them for six to eight hours, for a whole day and build those relationships is pretty much invaluable," Harden, who coaches the Panthers' under 20s, said.
"Their last 10 minutes was as good as their first 10 minutes after basically four, four-and-a-half hours of field work.
"It's a credit to them and I think the relationship between us and the Western Rams region has come to fruition.

"As we know selection gets harder and harder, but the harder they make our job, the better we are going to be long term.
"Taking them into the video room, using the facilities, the boys are bubbling. It's an asset not just for our current players, but to recruitment and retention.
"I don't think there's a 16 or 17-year-old in the country that wouldn't want to be training here."
Kingston, who played 105 NRL games for the Panthers and was skipper in 2013, talked about off-field aspects of playing higher-level football.
That included how to rest and relax.
"I emphasised the importance of sleep, obviously they are very young and their brains are developing so I just showed them some sleep routines they need to have in place," he said.
The day builds on the work that the Panthers' have done to strengthen their links with the Rams through things such as high performance clinics and the Regional Academy Program.

It's one year today since we got married. Normally people review the last 12 months at New Year, but this seems like a better milestone for me.
Shortly after we got married I started keeping a private (to me and Olly) blog detailing what we got up to at the weekends. From early January 2012, I have kept this up to date every week. It is fascinating to look back through.
Some things really stick out, like the olympics - that was brilliant. And our friends weddings, five of them! My niece being born. And of course the brain tumour.
Last Saturday night we were in a pub in Hove, reading each other random weekends from 2012. I noticed it was the little things that I'd completely forgotten about that made the biggest impact. When we roasted a whole duck and had millions of crispy pancakes for tea. When we saw a man trip over his baby in a pushchair and we had to call an ambulance. When we were in the studio with Jake Morley and band recording a live session.
It was great to be reminded of all the brilliant things we did this year. I'm so glad that I kept the blog now, it was a pain at times, but definitely worth it. So much just slips into obscurity and it's great to have a record of happy times, hungover times, sad times and shocking times.
It's been a big year, we sold a house and bought a house, we got a new niece and saw some best friends compete in the olympics, and many others get married. We went to loads of gigs, ate loads of curries and saw loads of our families. And we survived a brain tumour.
Overall it was definitely a great 2012. Happy anniversary Oliver!

Q&A with Georgia: 10 Questions from an Intern
A little while ago, one of my interns said, "Hey! How about you answer our interview questions, things that people don't ask you in interviews but things that we're curious about." I thought that was rather clever and so I gave them all a license to ask me anything under the sun that they wanted to know. For the past few weeks I've been posting their questions and my answers… for your amusement and perhaps my embarrassment. Today is the third installment, which comes from Annie. (To read the first installment go HERE and the second installment HERE).
Annie was born and raised in Houston (yay Beyonce!). She's studying Nutrition at UT, and hopes to go on to Physical Therapy school afterwards. She absolutely loves being outdoors, hiking, running, lounging, anything! She has an unhealthy obsession with Pinterest… DIYs, apartment decorations, gorgeous food, clothes, and photography, sometimes she gets a little carried away… she also loves to explore, like finding new restaurants and cool places in Austin and Houston and traveling. She's going to South Africa this summer for study abroad!! She's from a big o' family of six kids, and kind of thrives off of a wild and hectic environment.
Here are her questions and my answers:
AH: What was your favorite food when you were a kid?
GP: Avocado and spinach. My dad wrote a song called "Avocado and Spinach Baby" and I used to ride around on my red tricycle while he played it on his guitar. We lived in a silk factory at the time, so it was the kind of place where we could roller blade and play basketball inside, perfect for bike riding too. My mom was and still is intensely into holistic health and medicine so I never really knew anything other than foods like avocado and spinach until I was much older. And now I just don't have a taste for anything sweet or refined. Even fruit tastes super sweet to me.
AH: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
GP: It fluctuated between an artist and a lawyer. My lawyer tells me I should have been a lawyer but I'm happy with the creative side to my life. I can just pull out my New Yorker tenacity when I need it.
AH: Early bird or night owl?
GP: I think somewhere in between actually! I am one of those people who needs a lot of sleep and always have. I need a solid 8 hours to be functioning at 100% and anything less than 7 1/2 hours and I'm really only functioning at 50%. I go to bed somewhere around 11:30 and wake up somewhere around 7:30 or 8 most days.
AH: What are the 10 most frequently played songs on your iPod?
GP: I've been listening to Fun. a lot lately. They remind me a bit of Queen who I was obsessed with when I was in 7th grade. I first heard Queen on the radio while sorting through a box of old stamps I'd found from my great-grandfather and was developing my stamp collection (see question regarding whether I was a nerd) and asked my dad who they were and he took me to the record store and bought me all of their albums. So they still make an appearance on my play list from time to time. Also Adele because a girl's gotta play that loudly sometimes. I was just introduced to the Jam Box which hooks up to the BlueTooth on your phone. It has completely changed my life. You can take it into the bathroom and blast music while you shower or into any other random room you want to hang out in and have music. It's the best thing that's happened to me this week.
AH: What's your mantra?
GP: "Mastery doesn't create passion, passion creates mastery." My dad used to tell me that when I was growing up, particularly when I was studying the cello pretty intensely at Julliard. It was so competitive and stressful and he used to tell me that to remind me why I was doing it and that it wasn't about the perfection. I have a tendency to be a lot like my grandmother who was a photographer and a super creative person, and who I've written about a lot on this website. I obsess over details, but I think that God is in the details and that's what makes the difference between something good and something truly exceptional. So I push myself to get things right… not really perfect in an objective way… just to that vision I have in my mind for how it should be.
AH: How did your parents meet?
GP: Like I mentioned, my grandparents were fashion photographers in the 50s and beyond, they used to shoot covers for Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, and the likes. My grandmother actually took Betty Friedan's author photo for the cover of "The Feminine Mystique." My dad was working for his parents in a studio in New York City. Meanwhile my mom was an actress and a model, doing a show on Broadway with Ethel Merman along with commercials, Soap Operas, movies, etc. She knew my grandmother first and used to model for her. Then one day my dad took her picture for a shoot in their studio, and well… the rest, as they say, is history…
AH: Were you the class clown or bookworm in school?
GP: I was and am still a total bookworm. I managed to have quite a few friends because I was always doing things that were a little bit outrageous because I came from a family of artists. Like one day I'd wear blue ostridge feathers in my hair and the next day I'd wear a skirt made out of comic books. My teachers were always amused by me but they let me push the envelope a little bit because of that whole obsession with detail bit… I got good grades. I'm actually still close with some of my professors from college and I'm really grateful for that, they've been wonderful mentors and two of them actually were instrumental in encouraging me to write for a living.
AH: Do you have any nicknames? Where did they come from?
GP: My Godparents call me Georgia Peach and that has stuck. Some of my friends call me G or Peaches.
AH: How has your family influenced your work?
GP: No one in my family has ever really worked for anyone but themselves. I'm not a very good employee, I'm disobedient and I don't take orders very well. I've always liked to go against the grain which doesn't make me good on "teams." I'm also extremely impatient. So I think they just showed me how to carve out a path for myself and that it was possible to be successful working for yourself if you were willing to make your work your life's passion.
AH: When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
GP: Oh my gosh, almost every day! I tend to be attracted to people who are funny, I have some of the funniest friends around. My manager, for example, is pretty much the funniest person I've ever met and we rarely have a meeting where I'm not in tears from laughter. I keep telling her she needs a podcast. My dad was really funny growing up. My brother is better at impersonations than anyone I've met. And if a man can make me laugh, I'm pretty much toast.

Winger George Boyd insists the players know what is required of the group, and everyone is striving together to achieve the long-term goal.
The wide man has four promotions to his name in his career, and a fifth could be on the cards for the Scotland international.
Boyd said: "There are no worries or concerns in the dressing room. We know we are five wins away from the Premier League.
"People forget the run we are on. We are 18 games unbeaten, one of the form team in the league and sitting second at the minute, so there's certainly no tension in this camp.
"I've had this feeling in previous promotions when you're on a run like this, when you go into every game thinking you are going to win - and that's how we feel now.
"I think around 80% of this squad has been promoted from this division before, so we all know what to do and what is expected of us, and we are looking to use that experience to our advantage."
The Clarets currently sit in second position in the league, with Brighton hosting Fulham on Friday night and Middlesbrough travelling to Bolton for a lunchtime kick off on Saturday.
But a focused Boyd believes Clarets fans and the team pulling in the same direction can only be a positive going into their fixture later in the day at Birmingham City.
"Their manager (Gary Rowett) won't be letting their players heads be on the beach, I fully expect them to be at their best," he insisted.
"They lost in midweek to Leeds, but they will be looking to bounce back with a win and finish their season strongly because they have had a good season.
"But our fans have sold out the allocation, which is brilliant! We want everyone to be behind us and making lots of noise and giving as much as they can in these final five games.
"We are on a great run at the minute and the remaining games at this stage of the season are all about getting points on the board.
"As always, we only concentrate on ourselves, and that won't be any different in the remaining five games. They are five cup finals in a run-in we are all looking forward to."

Written by Alyssah Pointon, Special Events Coordinator
Through snow piling up across the Lower Mainland, families braved the cold last weekend to join us at ArtStarts on Saturdays in Vancouver and ArtStarts at River Market in New Westminster, to join storyteller Shayna Jones, of WeAreStoryFolk, for the FolkPlay program. Shayna's unique storytelling style blended wisdom, rhythm, song and movement delighted young artists and adults alike with a variety of her wonderful stories.
Shayna introduced herself, after some group singing to warm everyone up on such a freezing morning, by describing her role in two of the most important jobs in the world: storytelling and motherhood. The stories she told were deeply rooted in the perspective of a mother looking to guide and care for the children around her, and pass important lessons on between generations. Her stories spanned not only time, but culture as well. Shayna brought two stories to share with the families that had genesis all the way in Sierra Leone.
Being careful and protecting oneself from danger was the theme of the first story. As Shayna wove a tale of a village of mice being preyed upon by cunning cats and the virtues of listening to the advice of one's elders, she brought the story to life by dancing and running around the stage.
Feeling comfortable with oneself and not growing up too fast was the second lesson Shayna gave to the young artists in the audiences. A fable of a child who use their magic word ("Cucumber!") to transform themselves into the beings they saw as more powerful than themselves, only revealed in the end that a child can be powerful all on their own.
Shayna's warmth and expert storytelling worked to inspire young people through art! We are thankful that she could join us for ArtStarts on Saturdays and ArtStarts at River Market.
Thanks to Westminster Savings for generously supporting ArtStarts at River Market.
Next month at ArtStarts on Saturdays and ArtStarts at River Market, Project Soul presents an energetic, skillfully, dynamic street dance show combining freestyle and choreographed routines. The show brings theatre and dance together covering various topics that are relevant and relatable situations to everyday life. Throughout this lively show there is audience interaction and even a chance to participate and try out your own dance moves. Join us on March 31 and April 1, for complete details, click here!
Also check out ArtStarts Explores, our brand new drop-in workshop series for creative and adventurous families held from 11am to 12pm most Saturdays.

Philadelphia is a sports city. And Chickie's & Pete's, with 13 full-service locations in Philadelphia and New Jersey, is paying homage to their sports fanatic guests by capitalizing on that penchant for all things Philadelphia.
Every Monday night beginning September 10, the bar will host the Andy Reid Coaches Show at 5 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., the Chickie's & Pete's Players Lounge will feature Philadelphia Eagle LeSean McCoy.
Locations in Bordertown and Egg Harbor Township, both in New Jersey, will host radio shows Monday at 7 p.m. and Tuesday at 7 p.m., respectively. The Merrill Reese Show, featuring Eagles players and rotating between the Roosevelt Boulevard location and the suburban locations, will be on Thursday nights at 6 p.m.
Chickie's & Pete's has been hosting these radio shows at its establishment for a number of years, Roger Falloon, COO of the bar, says. Guests like to be present when players and coaches are discussing the upcoming game, and Falloon says, the bar sees even larger crowds when the Eagles are playing well.
The sports radio shows are "an extra feature for our guest," explains Falloon. "The atmosphere and experience are unique, and it sets us apart … it differentiates us."
The bar owners plan to add more shows to its lineup as the season continues.
From the Eagles coach to the team's players, it's exciting for patrons to see their favorte players in person. And for a city that takes its sports seriously, a promotion like this drives them to the bar. "It creates loyal customers because of the experience. It helps bring people in," Falloon says. "It keeps our guests loyal, and it drives in new people that want to see those players."
Planning for the event takes a little over two months, usually starting the brainstorming process during the middle of June. "We have the conversation about thoughts for football season, and it evolves from there" he says.
From there, Chickie's & Pete's partners with local sports radio stations to host these weekly shows. Not to mention, hosting the radio show provides inherent market; the station advertises the event on their airways. However, Falloon says they supplement that through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as sending out email blasts to make people aware of it.
Throughout the football season, Chickie's & Pete's continues to add specials and promotions, but the radio shows enhance that experience. "We are pretty fanatical," as sports fans in Philadelphia, explains Fallon. " ... Philly is just a passionate sports city."

I am trying to troubleshoot an installation of an ASRock RX 570 Phantom Gaming X 4G and one thing I've noticed is that when the power to the PC is turned on, the dual fans will begin spinning and then within a few seconds shutoff (prior to boot process completing and prior to boot process stalling).
The trouble I am having (perhaps another post) is that after installing the drivers and restarting, the system will not get past the Windows 7 loading screen (the wheel stops spinning and locks up).
I suspect there is a fan profile based on temperature and at startup the GPU would be fairly low temp, so I am wondering if they are shutting off due to temp or some other issue.
- Will the fans shut off when temps are satisfied (i.e., below setpoint)?
- If so, will they shut off within seconds of starting up or do they need to boot first prior to shutting off, or some other minimum run time?

September 28, 1987, Section B, Page 1Buy Reprints
For nearly two decades, the Delacorte geyser pumped a graceful plume of East River water hundreds of feet skyward from Roosevelt Island four times a day.
Don't look for the familiar fountain these days. It doesn't work, hasn't for fully a year, and, according to some, may never again.
And don't ask why, if you're prepared merely for a simple mechanical explanation involving an eroded 4,160-volt high-tension feeder cable and a broken 12-inch valve.
This is, after all, a New York story, which means that technical obstacles pale when compared with political ones. If the geyser never again gushes, it will have fallen victim to development and to conflicting good intentions.
When George T. Delacorte, the book publisher and philanthropist, dedicated his gift in 1969, he figured a fountain would be just the thing to soothe tormented urban souls. But his geyser has, on occasion, had the hypnotic effect of a tidal wave.
The squat concrete block at the southern end of Roosevelt Island ''looks like a sewer outfall and, indeed, that's very much what it was in the early years,'' said Henry J. Stern, the city's Parks Commissioner.
Mr. Stern, who relishes Mr. Delacorte's less controversial gifts to the city, was referring to fears that ''liquid waste was being flung 400 feet in the eyes and faces of people who lived on Sutton Place.'' The water was subsequently chlorinated (and, if it's any comfort, whatever was flung by the fountain more recently only reached about 240 feet high because of equipment problems).
Later, during the drought years, city officials expressed concern the geyser might be regarded as a symbol of conspicuous consumption - even though the water, most of which fell back into the East River, was unlikely to be consumed by anybody. The fountain was turned off. (Similar concerns were expressed when energy conservation was in vogue; the electric bill, some $10,000 a month, was paid by the city).
The next problem turned out to be too much water. Two years ago, a group called the Friends of Roosevelt Island raised about $50,000 to plant 58 cedar and pine trees to beautify the island's barren southern tip. The trees would help obscure abandoned city hospital buildings from the view of some of the Friends, who happened to live 300 yards west on Sutton Place, Beekman Place and United Nations Plaza.
There were concerns that the chlorinated stream from the geyser would kill the trees, but those fears proved baseless. Instead, the force of the cascading water, so powerful that once it crushed the roof of a sedan that a repairman had brazenly parked nearby, washed away the topsoil surrounding the trees.
''They died,'' said Margaret Ternes, the group's executive director. ''What we're doing is asking Mr. Delacorte to replace the trees and the soil. Friends of Roosevelt Island does feel, shall I say, wronged.''
The job of mediator has befallen Gillian Sorensen, the city's commissioner for the United Nations. ''At this point we have to look at what makes sense for the future.'' she said.
The future of the southern portion of the island is uncertain, though. Housing and a conference center have been suggested; a memorial to Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt has been designed for the southern tip.
The geyser, meanwhile, stopped working a year ago. The problem was found to be a faulty electrical cable, which was finally repaired last spring. But when the fountain was turned on again, a key valve failed. Repairs would cost at least $25,000 and take four months.
''Mr. Delacorte feels, 'Look, I've gone for a ton of money already,' '' said William Fotopulos, his technical adviser. '' 'If no one can give me assurances of what the future holds, you can do what you want.' ''
''I couldn't give them the comfort that nothing would occur for the next 10 to 20 years,'' said Rosina K. Abramson, executive director of the state's Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation. ''I told them I see nothing significant happening in three to five years, but that didn't seem to be sufficient.''
Mr. Delacorte, who is 93 years old and whose persistence paid off in the past, has several options. One would be to install a device that would automatically shut the fountain when the wind blows from the south, which causes the water to inundate up to eight acres of Roosevelt Island.
''A wind device is not practical,'' Mr. Fotopulos said, however. ''It's the insistence on the part of the people who are putting up these stupid trees on compatibility.''
''There is nothing I can think of,'' he said, ''that is compatible with the geyser.''
Another more costly option would be to move the geyser or to build a new one, maybe just to the south on a rock pile known as Belmont Island. A third, alternative, of course, would be to write this off as yet another intractable New York problem and let an imaginative waterfront asset go down the drain.

Banky W's Love Poem For Adesua Etomi! Wedding party stars Banky W & Adesua Etomi broke the internet this morning after declaring their relationship status a little while ago.
How it started!
From Banky's words, it all began when they met at an event in 2015 but it became official when Etomi said "Yes" and agreed to the the future Mrs. Banky in February, 2017.
We all saw the wedding party and gushed on the kind of perfect and adorable match they both made in the movie and wished it could be the start of an amazing love story… Buh yeah, we wished it, & now it's real…
In a lengthy and romantic post they both shared earlier today, which went viral on Social Media and seemed to be the biggest relationship gist at the moment, the 2 love birds revealed that they're engaged, and we're so happy for them.
Read Banky W's love story below:
Dear Susu,
We crossed paths 2 or 3 times since 2012, but I wasn't paying enough attention. Destiny was staring me right in the face and I was too caught up in my own hustle and paper chase, to know it. In June 2015 however, God brought you my way again, and this time, I really SAW you. I was smitten by your grace, aura, and beauty. So smitten infact, that even though I didn't get to say a word to you that day (because you were seated far across the room), I immediately called my best friend @captdemuren and told him I'd found my next girlfriend. LOL. He laughed.
I asked one or two people about you.. your manager Isioma, who I'd worked with previously, and then I did some research myself. Googled you, stalked your instagram.. the whole 9 yards, and the more I found out, the more you seemed like a breath of fresh air.
Now I personally don't like being "hooked up", so I decided to approach you myself by sliding into your DM a few days later. Introduced myself, made some silly attempts to make you laugh, told you I planned to become your biggest fan, and asked if we could be friends. Thank God you laughed at my silly jokes, and thank God you graciously agreed to become my friend. At the time, I was COMPLETELY lying about only wanting to be friends, by the way.. but I figured it was a safe place to start.
Since that DM, I've spoken to you pretty much every single day for almost 2 years. Sometimes, in the morning, at night and in between. We clicked instantly, and you quickly became one of my favourite people on earth, and one of my closest friends. It got to the point where my day wouldn't quite feel right without speaking to you. I needed your friendship. I needed, and still need, the bond we share. It completes me.
I knew pretty early in the process that I wanted to spend forever with you. Prayed about it fervently. But it took you FOREVER (okay fine.. maybe a year and a half or so) to see things my way. But I kinda knew all along.. I was just waiting for you to catch up.
In that time, I got engaged to you in my "made for you" music video… and by pure coincidence, we both got cast to get married in the wedding party movie.. but all the while we were the very best of friends. I guess, in our case, real life will now imitate art.
I'm not sure what the future will bring, but I'm completely sure that I am ready to face it with you by my side. I pray that God continues to build me into the kind of man that you deserve. I love you Susu.. I feel safe and at peace with you. You mean the world to me. Thank you for agreeing to be my lover and best friend. Thank you for agreeing to be my wife.
PS: The timing of this may make some people think this is promo for another video, or a movie. It isn't.
Ironically, everyone who has seen us together in art, or in life, always insists that we have amazing chemistry. I guess you can say we have been hiding in plain sight. I fell in love with an Actress. Now my life is a movie.
In February of 2017, I asked Adesua Tolulope Oluwaseun Etomi to be my wife. She said Yes

Most people have occasionally experienced an awkward hug/handshake combination where one person goes in for a hug while the other extends a hand to shake. Still, more often, humans are able to anticipate how to meet another person's greeting, thanks to years of experience with human interaction.
But can a machine develop the same kind of intuition?
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in Cambridge set out to train a computer to be able to predict how people will greet each other. And their algorithm can do just that.
The system studied 600 hours of raw footage from YouTube videos and television shows like "The Office" and "Desperate Housewives." Then, when shown previously-unseen footage, the algorithm was able to predict how people would greet each other accurately over 43 percent of the time when the video was one second away from the greeting.
By contrast, human subjects correctly predicted the greeting 71 percent of the time.
"Humans automatically learn to anticipate actions through experience, which is what made us interested in trying to imbue computers with the same sort of common sense," Carl Vondrick, a CSAIL PhD student who is the first author on a paper to be presented this week at the International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, said in a press release. "We wanted to show that just by watching large amounts of video, computers can gain enough knowledge to consistently make predictions about their surroundings."
"There's a lot of subtlety to understanding and forecasting human interactions," he said. "We hope to be able to work off of this example to be able to soon predict even more complex tasks."
The accuracy of the algorithm still has to be improved before it will have any practical uses, Mr. Vondrick said. But, if improved, this technology could help robots interact with humans, improve predictive emergency response systems, or provide real-time social advice via Google Glass-like technologies.
But for now we might just have to settle for spoilers seconds ahead of moments in our favorite television shows.
"I'm excited to see how much better the algorithms get if we can feed them a lifetime's worth of videos," Vondrick said. "We might see some significant improvements that would get us closer to using predictive-vision in real-world situations."

Ducati and Cigarette Racing unveiled today in Miami the new Cigarette Racing 42X Ducati Edition powerboat. The event was part of the Miami International Boat Show and it officially marked a collaboration between the motorcycle company and the boat builder.
The new speed boat features Ducatti's colors with a white base and red stripes. The 42 feet long racer can plow through waves at speeds that exceed 120 mph (200 km/h), thanks two Mercury Racing Engines that deliver a mind numbing 2,200-horses, or the HP equivalent from seven Focus RS.
The color scheme continues with the interior that gets white leather seats with red accents. As far as features go, JL Audio has designed the stereo system especially for this model and standard options include color GPS or electric bolsters. And if your girlfriend loves to make the best out of open sea cruising, the 42X can be ordered with a swimming platform.
"We are delighted to team up with Cigarette Racing Team, the Ducati of the sea. This new 42X Ducati Edition brings together the two legends of performance, design and racing heritage. I am very excited to announce this exciting boat, and feel we have found an excellent new partner in the team at Cigarette Racing." Said Gabriele Del Torchio, President and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.

Last night the RIAO docs held a web chat specifically on the PRECICE device they developed for internal lengthening. The original physician development team consisted of Dr. Standard, Dr. Herzenberg and Dr. Green. For some more information about the device visit here.
I have written about it before and it is a huge break through. I am so grateful our children have doctors who are also dreamers. You'd have to be a dreamer to come up with such things! Nicholas is very lucky his last two lengthening surgeries will be with the PRECICE. Here is some info from last night's chat to help determine wether/when it will be an option for your child.
External fixators will still remain a reality for fibular hemimelia treatment. This sounds like bad news to new parents wanting their child to benefit from the latest technology, however the external fixator felt like a miracle to us when we saw what it did for Nick's leg (it was much scarier before it was on Nick's leg compared to after). Nick had three lengthening surgeries using Taylor Spacial Frames and I remain grateful for that technology!!! While not easy, it is very doable.
Wether internal or external, these devices enable our children to maximize the function of the limbs they were born with. They bring my son closer to the dream I have had for him his whole life, to hop out of bed at maturity with two feet hitting the floor… To feel the sand between all of his toes… I know that he would be ok without these things but I am so grateful, that so far, he does not have to be.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Mark Giordano is having the type of season that has impressed his teammates on a nightly basis.
He was at it again Saturday night, with a goal and two assists to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
''He puts it all out there every time he's on the ice,'' goalie Mike Smith said. ''And he's getting rewarded for all the hard work he puts in with points this year.''
The 35-year-old defenseman has 72 points in 73 games, and is currently riding a seven-game point streak during which he has two goals and eight assists since March 10.
''He deserves every accolade he's getting,'' Smith said. ''He's one of the biggest warriors I have ever played with.''
Garnet Hathaway and Andrew Mangiapane also scored, and Smith made 27 saves for the Flames, who snapped the Canucks' three-game winning streak.
The Flames, the first team in the Western Conference to clinch a playoff spot, have 101 points with the victory. It's the first time Calgary had 100 or more points since the 2005-06 season.
''It's an unbelievable accomplishment for our team and the organization,'' Smith said. ''This team has come a long way from the start of the season, and the 100-point mark means you are doing a lot of good things.''
But the Flames also acknowledge that there's still plenty of work to be done before the regular season ends.
''We're proud, but we want to keep going, keep playing well going into playoffs, try to solidify the division and go from there,'' Giordano said.
Brock Boeser had a power-play goal for the Canucks, who are six points behind Colorado for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Jacob Markstrom had 28 saves.
Calgary opened the scoring 9:44 into the first period after Derek Ryan sliced a pass to Giordano from down low. The defenseman collected the puck on his tape and fired a snap shot into the top-left corner of the net over a diving Markstrom.
With less than three minutes to go in the second period, Giordano got the puck to Hathaway in the slot. The right wing got off a back-handed shot and the puck hit Markstrom's right pad before dribbling into the net.
Giordano helped out once again midway through the third, flipping a cross-ice pass to Mangiapane high in the slot. The left wing sent a slap shot flying past Markstrom into the Vancouver net.
''It's each and every night,'' coach Bill Peters said. ''You've seen it all year. I've seen it all year. He just continues to play at a high level.''
The Canucks were able to get on the board early in the third period after Calgary's Johnny Gaudreau was called for tripping, giving Vancouver a 4-on-3 power play. Boeser capitalized on the advantage 38 seconds into the frame, firing a wrister under Smith's glove. Boeser has four goals and six assists in his last nine games.
''It was a good hockey game,'' Canucks coach Travis Green said. ''A lot of intensity in the game. You could feel it. It's a good game to learn from. A couple young guys made a couple mistakes. And you learn from those mistakes and you move on.''
NOTES: A small fracas broke out with less than two minutes to go after Canucks defenseman Alex Edler hit Smith along the end boards, sending the goalie - and his helmet - flying. Fists flew briefly before Edler was given a two-minute penalty for goaltender interference. ... Calgary was without C Sam Bennett, who's recovering from an upper-body injury. ... Vancouver's star rookie Elias Pettersson had an assist on Boeser's goal, extending his point streak to five games. ... Saturday's win marked the Flames' 1,700th franchise victory.
Flames: host Los Angeles on Monday night.
Canucks: host Columbus on Sunday night.

The Carter-Kennedy detente may begin to pay dividends for the Carter campaign as the two Democrats begin this month a series of joint appearances. The former party foes will appear together at a Democratic fund-raiser in Los Angeles Sept. 22. It will be the first shared podium between them since the Democratic convention in August.
Kennedy reportedly has agreed to campaign actively for Carter in further joint appearances. The senator will zero in on groups in which he ran strongly in the primaries, such as industrial workers and ethnic minority voters.
Carter, for his part, is said to be helping Kennedy retire his $2 million debt from the primary campaign.

Learn about our editorial process Robin Elise Weiss, PhD, MPH Reviewed by Reviewed by Rachel Gurevich on November 11, 2019 facebook twitter linkedin Rachel Gurevich is a fertility advocate, author, and recipient of The Hope Award for Achievement, from Resolve: The National Infertility Association. Learn about our Review Board Rachel Gurevich on November 11, 2019 Print Hans Neleman / The Image Bank / Getty Images More in Labor and Delivery Pain Relief C-Sections A doula is a woman who is trained to provide support to a mother before, during, and after she gives birth. Unlike a midwife, she has no medical training—but her experience and support can make a great positive difference in a new mother's life. Why Do You Want to Become a Doula? Choosing to become a doula is no easy decision. While the rewards are great, there are long hours at births and life on call. You may be drawn to this field as a way to help other women as they become mothers, or perhaps it's a natural extension of something you already do like working as a childbirth educator, lactation consultant or in another health field. Bear in mind that working as a doula is not, for most people, a way to earn a living, though many women do supplement their incomes or pay for certain things with this money. The vast majority of women are attending births as a doula because they are passionate about the information and helping birthing families. Some doulas will supplement their income by teaching childbirth classes. They may also be certified as lactation consultants. How to Become a Doula and Find Clients Questions to Ask Yourself One of the first things you must do to become a doula is to determine which of the many training and certifying organization is best for you. These questions will help you think through your options: What kind of time do you have to devote to training?Can you travel to attend a training?Do you have a nearby mentor?Is there a reading list?Is there a certification exam?How many certifying births?What are the requirements for continuing education/recertification? Preparing to Become a Doula Once you have answered the questions above, you may have a better idea of what level of service you want to provide to your clients, and which type of training organization is best suited for you. Before you finalize your decision, talk to people who have taken classes to become a doula. Did they get the support that they needed? Were their needs met both during and after the certification process? Did they feel that they got their monies worth? Are there any hidden costs or things that surprised them about the training or post-training support? Choosing an Organization With Which to Certify There are many organizations that offer certification for doulas. You will need to figure out which fits your philosophy of birth, your budget, your time frame as well as your needs. For example, if you are already attending births, you may not need a course that includes information about the birth process as part of the curriculum. If you are a nurse working in labor and delivery, you might need more labor support skills but have plenty of experience in observing births. Major Certifying Organizations There are some major certifying organizations training people to become doulas. These include: DONA InternationalInternational Childbirth Education Association (ICEA)Childbirth and Postpartum Association (CAPPA)toLabor (The Organization of Labor Assistants for Options & Resources)(Formerly ALACE) Questions to Ask Each Organization About Training Do I have to travel to attend the training?How long is the training?What will I be taught during the training?Will I need additional materials? If yes, what?What is the average time to complete the training and become certified?Other than the training fee is there a fee to be certified? Recertified?Is there a certification test? Is it in person or mail-in?How many certifying births will I need? Is there paperwork? Who fills it out? Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Another Dirty Challenge
I stamped Snail Fluffles by Stampendous with TimberBrown Stazon on Pearlized White paper by Paper Accents (available at Verve Visual starting August 1st!!!). This is a thin shimmery paper, so I wasn't sure how it would hold up to watercoloring, but it did just fine. I went over the snail several times (because I kept changing my mind on what color he should be) and the paper warped slightly in that spot. But I adhered it to the chocolate chip layer with a thin solid bead of glue and all is well. The designer papers and that green squiggly piece are from Crate Paper's Carnival Collection. I sponged the edges of the green with close to cocoa, because it need a little contrast to show up better. The background is apricot appeal wheeled with the Rough Texture jumbo wheel (stampin up) in pumpkin pie. I paper pierced the edges and did the faux stitching with a chocolate chip marker. The edges are distressed with the Tonic paper distresser. The sentiment is from Verve Visual's Thoughtful Phrases set, punched with Stampin' Up's word window tab punch. I finished off the layout with a We R Memory Keepers eyelet.
Stamps: Verve Visual Thoughtful Phrases, Stampendous Snail Fluffles, Stampin' Up! rough texture jumbo wheel
Ink: timber brown stazon, close to cocoa, choc chip, pumpkin pie, old olive, brocade blue
Paper: Paper Accents pearlized white, Crate Paper carnival collection, SU! choc chip, apricot appeal and pumpkin pie
Other: paper piercer and template, tonic distresser, aquapainter, sponge dauber, we r memory keepers designer eyelets: homemade
So, speaking of Verve Visual...have you checked out the site yet. I'm a little behind bringing you the news, but you can see the genius behind this new line of stamps, here. The actual store will launch August 1st. That means you have until tommorrow to sign up for the newsletter before the grand opening.
