Great movie, inspirational
Macys27 August 2008
This is wonderful movie on many levels. It really is great piece of film making. It tells a great story, has drama and wonderful visuals. This is what good movie making should be. It the specific story of people overcoming great obstacles, a universal story which is as inspirational as when various versions were told in ancient Greece, and as relevant to our lives today as today's headline. It tells the real story of people who overcome great obstacles and some who just cope. You actually watch people grow, mature and develop wisdom as you watch this film, a very rare experience. This is a great story. I saw in London with an audience of young British students and they loved it. I It is an American story with a universal message. If you haven't seen it, make sure you do.

Wow .... Anti-Black Vote Stacking ???
cerealpirate26 January 2010
I have not seen this movie nor will I. I have given this rating due to the fact that Rap and Hip Hop has destroyed this country. To sit back and listen to all of the mindless lyrics and watch what the consumer turns into is more interesting than National Geographic.

I have reason to believe that Queen Latifa is trying to shine some good on this type of music but I hate to say it but Rap died with Will Smith and Queen Latifa. To stand up for this type of music means standing up for the drug dealers, rapist, murders, child molesters, and wife beaters! There is nothing good coming from that brain washing junk but the millions of mindless followers that go out and help pay for Master P's new yacht. I am done with music in general and until I move to the UK will have to settle with silence.

Bruce Willis lost a lot of my respect from this piece of crap called a movie!

Review – Marilyn Monroe: Auction of a Lifetime

A new Channel 4 documentary, Marilyn Monroe: Auction of a Lifetime, begins with some footage of the star in 1960, arriving in New York for test shots on what would be her last completed movie, The Misfits. The grainy clip was filmed by Frieda Hull of the Monroe Six, a gang of teenage fans based in Marilyn’s adopted city. One of the perks of Frieda’s job – airline stewardess – was a proximity to her idol on both coasts, and with Monroe’s goodwill, she amassed a large archive of candid photos which remained unseen until her death in 2014. A batch of colour snapshots taken the same day, was purchased recently by a former acquaintance of Hull, who claimed she told him Marilyn was secretly pregnant at the time by her Let’s Make Love co-star, Yves Montand. This random piece of hearsay was reported in the Daily Mail, and the National Enquirer who upped the ante by stating the father of this phantom baby was future president John F. Kennedy.

“She was an object of desire for men and an inspiration to women,” says narrator Tracy Ann Oberman, as familiar images of Marilyn cut to a still of Madonna in her Blond Ambition days. Ever since the first dedicated auction at Christie’s in 1999, her possessions have become the most covetable of any modern celebrity. After a touring exhibit stopping off in London, Ireland, the USA (via a transatlantic cruise) and China, Julien’s Auctions held the largest sale to date in November 2016, drawn mostly from the estate of Lee Strasberg, and ranging from household goods and cosmetics to sketches and poems; the British collector David Gainsborough Roberts, who has amassed a number of her most famous movie costumes; plus smaller archives like Frieda Hull’s, and mementoes from the estate of Lois Weber, Marilyn’s former publicist. Even the four-volume catalogue, spread over 1,000 pages, is a collectors’ item priced at $400.

“This is the last chance to see her through the things she loved,” Oberman says, although several lots (especially photographed) have reappeared on EBay. Even the auction’s centrepiece, the beaded ‘nude’ dress worn by Marilyn on John F. Kennedy’s birthday, first went on the block in 1999. It was sold again last November for $4.8 million – the most ever paid for a dress. The buyer, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, will present it in future exhibitions. Some of Marilyn’s cash-strapped fans wish her property had been kept together, perhaps in a museum, but not even the Smithsonian can afford to invest now. Nonetheless, the diehard fans are a fairly close group, and I recognised several familiar faces among the bidders – including lookalike Suzie Kennedy, who also voiced some of Marilyn’s private notes for the documentary. Decorated for the occasion with giant, wall-to-wall photographs, the Beverly Hills auction house resembled the ‘Church of Marilyn’ in Ken Russell’s rock opera, Tommy.

Although there are some tantalising remnants from Norma Jeane’s early days, the narrative quickly skips ahead to the ‘red velvet’ calendar shots taken by Tom Kelley in 1949, when Marilyn was still relatively unknown. By 1952 she was on the cusp of fame, and as Sarah Churchwell observes, she would be the first major star to survive a nude photo scandal. “You don’t become the biggest movie star in the world by accident,” Churchwell concludes. At dinner with her agents, Marilyn jotted down notes on the menu, spelling out her vaulting ambition (“I can be one of your greatest stars”) and dramatic technique (“Think with your body – let go physically to pick up emotionally…”)

As actress Ellen Burstyn points out, this holistic approach was inspired by one of Marilyn’s favourite books, The Thinking Body by Mabel Elsworth Todd. Winning the role of Lorelei Lee in the glitzy musical, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), would be her reward. The dress worn by Marilyn in the opening number, says fashion historian Amber Butchart, made her “the quintessential showgirl – blood red, sequins everywhere, and form-fitting with that incredible plunging neckline.” (However, some experts believe the costume sold at auction may actually have been Jane Russell’s identical number.)

“I was astonished that a girl could be that sexy on purpose,” Ellen Burstyn recalls of Marilyn’s screen persona. “She revolutionised the female image.” Her explosive sexuality would also wreck her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. Candid photos by Frieda Hull show Marilyn on a New York street one September evening in 1954, preparing to film an outdoor scene for The Seven Year Itch. Arriving on Lexington Avenue, she wore her mink coat – a gift from Joe – over a cream, silky halter dress designed by Travilla for the movie. Her hair was still pinned, and she clutched a script. A raucous crowd gawped as she stood over a subway grate, her skirt blowing in the cool night air.

The city became her sanctuary, as she left marriage and Hollywood behind. Sarah Churchwell – author of a ‘meta-biography’, The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe – describes the move as “a laudable attempt to create professional control … a new side of Marilyn was emerging.” She also came under the influence of Lee Strasberg, head of the Actors Studio. Marilyn in Manhattan author Elizabeth Winder says he taught Marilyn to “lean into her sensitivity.”

When Marilyn renegotiated her contract with Twentieth Century Fox, Time magazine praised her as a “shrewd businesswoman.” Her ‘comeback’ movie, Bus Stop, established her as not only a sex symbol, but also a formidable actress. Co-star Don Murray recalls that she dubbed her skimpy costume as weary nightclub singer Cherie a “snake outfit,” making serpentine gestures while singing ‘That Old Black Magic’ to a room of drunken cowboys. Amber Butchart notes that Marilyn chose authenticity over glamour, ripping up her fishnet stockings and clumsily darning them.

This UK-made documentary, helmed by Rosie Schellenberg, places a special focus on The Prince and the Showgirl, the film Marilyn made (and produced) in England. Agent Jay Kanter remembers her hiding in the bedroom “like a frightened deer” when she first met her co-star and director, Sir Laurence Olivier, but the venerable actor believed she could revitalise his career. Torn between Olivier’s disdain for method acting, and criticisms of the script from her new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, Marilyn’s confidence was shaken.

Biographer Lois Banner cites the alleged incident when Marilyn found Miller’s diary, claiming that he had written “words to the effect of ‘I married a whore.’” However, Miller’s diary has never been made public, and Elizabeth Winder may be nearer the mark when she suggests that Arthur simply felt that living with Marilyn was not what he expected. Banner also claims that Arthur “never had good sex before Marilyn,” whom she describes as “very practiced and experienced,” adding, “she blew his mind.” How Banner could know such intimate details is unexplained, and while Miller may have admired his wife’s sensuous nature, theirs was a traditional marriage, and Marilyn’s longest relationship.

After a brief sabbatical – rather melodramatically characterised as “a desperate attempt to save her marriage” – she returned to Hollywood for Some Like It Hot, her greatest success. She was also pregnant, but would later suffer a miscarriage. “She sometimes didn’t show until noon,” recalls Marian Collier, one of the last surviving members of Sweet Sue’s band. Director Billy Wilder was “calm and patient,” but leading man Tony Curtis “got a little upset.” The seamy black dress Marilyn wore to sing ‘I’m Through With Love’ was so tight that she had to be lifted onto the piano. “That was her voice, you know,” Collier says – many other stars of that era were dubbed. “Marilyn Monroe gives the film a heart,” Sarah Churchwell remarks. “She makes it touching and poignant.”

Marilyn’s brilliant performance in The Misfits is overlooked, as the narrative skips to her 1961 photo shoot with Douglas Kirkland, in which she lay nude under silk sheets. “She found the images that portrayed the Marilyn she felt she wanted to see portrayed,” Kirkland comments, remembering how she expertly manoeuvred the project from beginning to end.

“Six months later she was sleeping with JFK,” the narrator continues, although no conclusive evidence of an affair can be found among the thousand lots at Julien’s. As so often happens in Monroe lore, the legend has surpassed reality. As the camera pans over the prescriptions and pillboxes she left behind, Sarah Churchwell offers a sobering analysis of Marilyn’s final decline: “There was no stability in her childhood. The Hollywood environment exacerbated those anxieties … She was often isolated, lonely …”

Last year’s auction at Julien’s raised $11,000,000 – Marilyn died with only a few hundred dollars in her checking account. She had been fired from her last movie, and although the narrator adds that a lucrative new deal was in place, this had not been finalised. The modesty of her estate stands in stark contrast to the vast profits still being made from her name. The woman who wanted her possessions to be divided among her friends would probably be bewildered by events like this, but it is perhaps an inevitable consequence of her enduring fame. “There was a sweetness about her,” says Ellen Burstyn, who knew Marilyn during her Actors Studio days. “She never played dark characters – always played characters filled with light, like a sexy angel. There has never been anyone like her.”

Hi, This is Khaja Misbahuddin updating Kkusum for 20th Oct, 2004

Hey Frndz,

Pl. don't mind if the updates are not as detailed as they used to be for the next few weeks. 'coz I am really tired with studies and maynot be able to update in full details for the next few weeks.

( I missed the first two minutes of the show )

Abhay is worried, and is walking in his room. Kumud holds the photo of her mother and cries. Abhay looks towards the phone. Aryaman is shown talking on the phone. Abhay is also talking on the phone. Ksh*tij is also worried, and sees Aryaman talking on the phone. The ACP gets a call, and he too talks on his phone.

Kali is also waiting for Garv. She falls asleep on the chair. Garv comes there and wakes her up. He tells Kali that Kkusum has been kidnapped. Kali is shocked, and asks him as to when did it happen. ( I missed some portion again here ).

Abhay is at his home. The forensic expert tell him that a medicine was mixed in the glass of water which Kkusum drank. He tells Abhay that the medicine had an effect to make the person who took it to have a bad head ache or his/her health to be unwell. Abhay asks the servant if he kept the glass of water there. The servant tells him that he only put a jug of water there, and he didn't put the glass there. The forensic expert tells Abhay that there is no medicine mixed in the jug of water. Abhay realises that ACP was right in saying that someone planned such that Kkusum would not go to the party. He calls up ACP, and informs him about it. The ACP tells Abhay not to worry, and tells him that Kkusum is safe wherever she is. Abhay asks him as to how does he know that Kkusum is safe. ACP tells him that he will tell him later about it, but for now he thinks that he is on the right track.

Aryaman is sitting on the sofa. Ksh*tij comes there, and asks him if he is tensed 'coz of Kkusum being kidnapped. He tells Ksh*tij that there is another reason besides Kkusum being kidnapped, and that is Nakul is back home. Ksh*tij is shocked. Just then, Aryaman's mom comes there with Nakul and tells them that she brought him back. She asks Aryaman if he still will not allow Nakul to stay in the house. She tells Aryaman that Nakul is a child still, and sometimes children take wrong paths, and it is the duty of parents to lead them in the good paths. She tells him that Nakul accepts his mistakes, and is ready to repent for them. Nakul tells Aryaman that he came there just to seek his forgiveness, and not to stay there 'coz if he met him outside, he need not lower his head infront of him. Aryaman tells him that he can stay in the house, but he will never be forgiven. Aryaman walks away and goes upstairs. Ksh*tij follows him. Nakul feels bad. Aryaman's mom tells Nakul that he won't go anywhere, and she will see to it that everyone forgives him.

Aryaman is in his room, and is talking on the phone. He tells someone to do as he said. Just then, Ksh*tij comes there. Aryaman disconnects the phone and stands up. Ksh*tij asks him if there is any problem, but Aryaman denies. Ksh*tij tells him that he is goin to meet the ACP. Aryaman asks Ksh*tij to inform him if he gets to know anything about Kkusum. Ksh*tij leaves. After that, Aryaman calls the person again, and tells him that this time he won't tolerate any mistake, and asks him to do the job. Aryaman tells him that he is coming there himself. Ksh*tij is standing outside the room, and overhears Aryaman's talk. Ksh*tij wonders as to what could be the matter.

Garv is driving in his car, when he sees Aryaman. Aryaman gives money to the mechanic telling that he should repair the car, and send it to the office. Garv sees Aryaman giving money to the mechanic, and the car has the same number as the car which kidnapped Kkusum, and it is also of the same shape. Garv wonders as to what Aryaman is doing there.

Ksh*tij is driving his car, and thinks about Aryaman. He wonders if Garv was right and he didn't believe him. He thinks that he should talk to Garv. Ksh*tij goes to Garv's house but the servant opens the door. The servant tells that Garv is not at home. Ksh*tij turns to leave, when the servant tells him that he wants to tell him something. The servant tells Ksh*tij something ( background music ). Ksh*tij can't believe what he says, but the servant insists that it is true. Ksh*tij comes out, and finds Garv's car there. He wonders what Garv's car is doing there if he is not at home.

Aryaman comes rushing to Kapoor house, and asks Sarala as to why did she call him urgently. Sarala, Kumud and Garv are sitting there. Sarala asks him as to why did he do such a thing. Aryaman is confused. Sarala asks him where Kkusum is, and asks him as to why did he kidnap her. Aryaman is shocked. He asks Sarala as to what she is talking, and asks her who told her that he kidnapped Kkusum. Garv tells him that he informed them 'coz he saw him with the car in which Kkusum was kidnapped. Aryaman tells him that the car is a company car and was given for repair. Sarala asks him if it was true or not. Aryaman shouts that it is true that the car is given for repair, and it is also true that the car belongs to the company, but it is not true that Kkusum was kidnapped in that car. He asks them to go and check. Garv tries to say something but Aryaman shouts at him saying that 'coz of Garv the daughters of Kapoor house are suffering a lot, and now he wants to spoil the relations between him and Kapoor house. ( I missed some portion here ). Aryaman asks Garv how dare he suspect him, and asks him to prove it if he thinks he is involved.. Garv leaves. Aryaman turns to leave, but Sarala stops him but he tells her that how could she suspect him for the kidnap of Kkusum. He asks her if she really thought that he could do such a thing. Aryaman turns back to leave, but Ksh*tij comes there, and trells them that he knows who kidnapped Kkusum. Ksh*tij shows them the number plate of the car in which Kkusum was kidnapped. Aryaman is shocked, and asks him as to where did he get it. Ksh*tij tells him that he got it from Garv's car. Everyone is shocked.

Nitin is sitting on the sofa with the number plate in his hands, and tells all that he can't believe that Garv has done this. Aryaman tells them that maybe that's why Garv was hell bent on proving him suspicious. Kumud faints. All rush to her. She falls down. Ksh*tij rushes to her, and holds her. Kumud wakes up and sees Ksh*tij. He makes her sit on the sofa. She cries and tells all that she can't believe that it is the same Garv whom she married, and who was once a very good friend. Nitin tells that Garv has done the biggest mistake of his life by trying to hurt Kkusum. Ksh*tij tells all that they should inform ACP about this.

ACP, Ksh*tij, Aryaman come to Garv's house. The servant tells them that Garv left with a bag before they came. Aryaman tells that maybe he knew that his game was over, and so he ran away from there. Ksh*tij asks the servant about Kali. He tells them that Kali left before Garv, and that too with a bag. Suddenly, the servant tells them that he found something and asks to see if it is useful. He goes, and brings a piece of paper. ACP looks at it, and tells that it is the bill of some Hotel Adarsh at Khandala and it is paid by Garv's credit card. Ksh*tij tells ACP that he will go to Khandala, but ACP tells him that it is of no use, and that Garv will be traveling. Ksh*tij tells him that there is no harm in trying, and they may get some important information. He tells ACP that he will go to Khandala, and asks him to continue with his investigations here. Just then, Kumud comes there and tells them that she too will go to Khandala.

Kumud and Ksh*tij are going to Khandala in car. Kumud feels cold. Ksh*tij gives her his coat. She puts it on. Suddenly, some car passes by their car narrowly, and Ksh*tij puts sudden break, Kumud falls over him, and then moves away. Kumud and Ksh*tij look at each other.

Please comment. Waiting for ur reply.

Ok, they are just stretching the story now.  Come on with the killer.  Ok now in today's episode, they are pointing at Garv and Aryaman.  Why did the ACP tell Abhay that wherever Kkusum is right now, she is safe? How can he say that? Why does he say that? Does he know something that we don't?  This is the 2nd time Abhay and Aryaman are showning talking with someone and cutting the phone line when someone walks in.  I hope they reveal the killer tomorrow, cuz now they are really dragging it.  And why are they gonna bring back the Ksh*tij & Kumud chapter now?? Not this soon, let the Garv and Kumud saga finish, which we know it's not, there is a misunderstanding between them, and that needs to be cleared up first.  They still havn't said I love you to one another yet. Come on with it now.  Just sharing some of my thoughts.

Hi. I am new to this forum. Thanks for the update Misbah.

I also agree that they are dragging this story out too much. I had thought from the beginning that the ACP and Sohan know something and are somehow a part of what's been going on with Kkusum. Whenever they would show something happen- the camera would always show a certain look on Sohan's face and the ACP. Also, when Garv didn't show up for the trial- how did Sohan emerge from out of the blue??? I know he gave some excuse- but I get the feeling that he might be behind this. The only part that throws me off is - when he got stabbed!!

Go Figure... We will just have to keep watching!!!

Yes i agree with Tin24, that Soham being stabbed is just a setup for us and everyone in the kapoor household to think that he was a victim.  But somehow Soham has to be involved.

Since Sohan just came in the serial I don't think it'll be him who gets bumped off the show just yet.  I has to be someone who hasn't been shown yet. Actually right now it seems like it could be so many people.  Can't wait for tomorrow's episode.

Colts QB Coach Brian Schottenheimer to Interview for OC Position With Seahawks

Brian Schottenheimer, Indianapolis Colts, NFL
Indy Star-USA TODAY Sports

Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer is expected to interview with the Seattle Seahawks for their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

This news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise because Schottenheimer has previous experience as an offensive coordinator prior to becoming the quarterbacks coach for Indianapolis. He was the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets (2006-11) and for the St. Louis Rams (2012-14).

When evaluating which Colts’ assistant coaches that the team should retain or replace, our own Dylan Burelison wrote that he believes that the team should retian Schottenheimer.

“Why should the Colts retain Brian Schottenheimer? Well, since joining the team in 2016, the quarterback room has been great. Andrew Luck looked like a dominant player even with a torn labrum, putting up his highest yards per attempt (7.8 YPA) of his career. He also had career highs in completion percentage in 2016 at 63.5%. All of that was under Schottenheimer’s tutelage.”

“Enter 2017, the franchise quarterback is out for the season. In steps, Jacoby Brissett week one after no preparation with the team during the off-season or preseason. Brissett may have only won four games, but his work kept the Colts in nearly every contest all season. Much can be accredited to his work with Schottenheimer all year. The Colts received an average of 6.6 yards per attempt out of Brissett, a completion percentage of 58.8 percent, and a 2:1 touchdown to interception ratio. Again, this is coming from a guy who was forced to step into a highly difficult situation with very little preparation.”

1887 New Blood Revival
The Slip (Exit Nine Records)

By: Brian Barry

So here I am. Smoking Indonesian cigarettes, drinking diet Pepsi, wearing the same clothes for the last few days, saying hello to a beard in the mirror, a razor on the sink, a shower. Miles Davis spinning in the CD player across the room atop of a red triangle table I managed to squeeze out of a packed IKEA. Leaving the corporate world wasn't my idea but hey, it's been a good one. Yeah, advertising. That's one field you want to get into. The key is, however, to join a company that actually wants to succeed. Sure, you can write copy, fiddle with graphics and the client will hate it all, but it's something nice to do for 8 hours and you earn a decent buck. Anyhow, I'm in Philly. After strolling the dirt paths of Africa two years ago, then strolling the dirt paths of New Brunswick, NJ a year ago, I am now knee deep in 76er flags, cheese steaks, and bike races. It's been a while since I wrote for Alex and the crew at IMWT but like a bleeding cold sore, my article has shown it's rotted, somewhat curious face once again. This time around? Why, I'm pleased you asked. This time around I will be exploring the ditties of bands of the future and present. Hopefully, my mind and my fingers will not reach into the swampy abyss that is my record collection for musicians such as Jeffrey Osbourne or Michael Jackson. I'm motivating myself to review actually living, breathing musicians. This time around it is the swanky, tongue in cheek, way too sexy, bastion of groove - Mr. Matt Witte, front man for the New Brunswick, NJ dirt path jive bunch, "New Blood Revival."

I first saw NBR about 2 years ago below a softly lit bar in New Brunswick. Matt's guitar work wasn't that special - but who was I to say anything - I never played guitar - but the lyrics were amazing and the energy of the band (at that time it was just a bassist, Matt, the Reverend Andy Chen on sax, and a whack-ass ball of energy on drums). There weren't many people there - mostly a few locals at a round table and a hip-chick standing in the front alone and grooving to the melody (every time I came back from the toilet a friend of mine commented about how nice her ass was) but the group played as if the place were packed. I like that.

The second time I saw NBR, I started off the night freezing outside of a packed Stone Pony where Matt and the band were having their CD release party for their second album, "this is Matt Witte's New Blood Revival." It was a complete turnaround for me. Let me tell you, the bar must have sold out of bottled stamina when Matt took the stage - imagine a giant hopping. knocking ball of flesh with loose fitting clothing and a thousand drooling mouths sharing the same breath as the man on stage - I held onto my beer tight and took deeper drags - the groove was way too real. The masses sang along and when Andy Chen stepped up for his sax solos, every chick in a 10 mile radius changed their panties. Amazing. The perfect performance, crowd participation band.

Now, a year later, I have in my hands, NBR's latest release, "The Slip." Let me tell you a little bit of what I believe the band to sound like and what I've gotten from other people - just in case you're saying to yourself, "Come on idiot, give us the gist - what does this Matt Witte guy sound like?" My first impression was M. Doughty (Soul Coughing) meets Phish. However, Phish is more of a jam band - whereas NBR isn't. More like M. and cake meet Dave Matthews and Wilco at a party full of adoring gals. "The Slip" is a slight twist from some of their older stuff, which you can get a glimpse of at www.mattwittesnewbloodrevival.com, hitting more on the hazy boundary between early Dylan-esque country and early folk - basted in a funk malaise. Less "in your face" and more "put this on your face", "The Slip" offers listeners a walk through a life they may wish they never had - but feel it would be nice to wear the shoes. In the first track, "The Lift" , a super sultry piece about a super sultry piece, Matt reassures doubting fathers and sons that "Every man needs a Diane." The song is so catchy that it took weeks of alcohol and a few spins of PYT to get it out of my head.

"Mona" swings into a lounge-Traffic-esque-keyboard driven, fast paced ditty that features Matt's light vocal touch that makes the audiences go crazy - to tell you the truth, the man was born to sing to women and chosen to sing about them. "Rick" is a another favorite of mine - featuring Matt's intelligence, poetry and ever-changing mood about discovering a girl's infidelity - "Out of boredom I was sifting through the odds and ends and drawers labeled junk or miscellaneous in hope that I might score a stack of old forgotten photographs of younger me and you - maybe something of us naked I could reminisce back to. But instead I found an envelope - inside was a cassette with a note that read - 'here's to a night I won't forget love always Rick' it's showing on my spine and I form in my stomach as I try not to think of Ricky but the reason you had done it. Rick! I'll find out who and where you are!" and so on and so on - it's too good for me to kill it in this review - pick it up for yourself and get charged up. The song, like the entire album is hilarious, poetic and oh so relate-able. It gives the guys something to agree to and the girls something to slyly snicker at.

The whole deal? So glad you asked. Get on your horses and see them now - the live show is amazing - the fans are high energy - the band - phenomenal.

Feel like shaking things up and returning to a lyric driven danceable style of music? Catch NBR's message - the band injects a "new blood" into the scene right now - with an ironic return to an older style of music - a funky contagious folk - inspired by the lyrical genius that is Matt Witte.

10d3 The Commish
Season One DVD (Anchor Bay Entertainment)

By: Alex Steininger

My first reaction when I heard The Commish -- Season One was going to be released on DVD? It was of utter disbelief and even shame. I thought to myself, "Darn, they'll put anything on DVD, won't they? Why then, haven't they put Benson or Webster on DVD? Why, oh why?"

But then I opened the six-disc collection containing all 21 episodes from the debut season of this show (which originally aired in 1991/1992 on ABC) and started playing around with it, watching a few of the episodes.

I'll admit it, The Commish was always a guilty pleasure for me. I mean, Commissioner Tony Scali (played by Michael Chiklis) was such a nice guy -- a good cop, father, and husband. And his supporting cast seemed real and loveable. The writers and actors/actresses did a good job of making things believable, which goes a long way.

But what really turned the tables for me were the interviews with producer Stephen J. Cannell, who is a very informational and entertaining speaker, creator/writer Stephen Kronish, as well as Michael Chiklis, and Theresa Saldana (who played Rachel Scali, Tony's wife). After watching these bonus features found on disc six, I got a renewed interest in the show.

Dealing with brutal crimes through humor and creativity, Commissioner Scali never wanes, he always stays on the trail of the culprit, while keeping everything around him rather upbeat and pleasant, marking an anomaly for cop shows, because even when he's down or stressed, Scali never lets it get the best of him -- and comes out smelling like roses.

The Commish -- Season One on DVD still makes me think they put anything and everything on DVD, but the show lasted five seasons, so obviously there was a market for it. Beyond putting these on once and watching them, to relive the nostalgia, I don't think I could tolerate watching these episodes over and over again -- or inviting friends over for dinner and drinks while watching these with me. Still, there is something to be said about a show that at 3am, when you can't sleep, entertains you and right when the credits hit, put you to sleep. I'll give it a C.

Leading Millennials

Did you know that about 40% of the workforce will be millennials by 2020? This recent stat from Forbes should make you stop and think.

There are so many stereotypes about the millennial generation. Some of these include innovation, constant change, feedback, guidance and flexibility. While some of them may be true, there are others that don’t necessarily consider the generation as a whole and are simply stereotypes. However, one thing is true – Millennials are going to be the majority of the workforce and are bringing innovation and a fresh perspective.

How can we learn to adapt and better lead them?

  1. It’s important to understand how to improve your communication. How often are you providing feedback to your employees? Millennials crave that constant feedback. You should also ensure that all of your employees understand “the big picture.” They should know what goals the company is working towards as well as what goals they should each be working towards individually. Millennials or not, it would benefit you and the organization if everyone knew what you were working towards.

  2. Take a look at your culture. What are your values and are they evident in your organization’s culture? Think about your workplace. Is your organization’s culture evident there? Millennials are looking for an organization full of culture, and many times are leaving companies for something with a better cultural experience.

  3. Invest in your employees, especially those Millennials. They are going to take over the workplace soon, and you need to invest in their development as a person and as your employee. Millennials truly care about their development as an employee and are always striving to learn more. Invest in that.

Whether or not your current workplace is full of Millennials, take a step today to be a better leader for this generation.

Cardiff City interested in making a move for Middlesborough midfielder Adam Forshaw – reports

Embed from Getty Images

Cardiff City are reportedly interested in making a move for Middlesborough’s midfielder Adam Forshaw.

Neil Warnock is believed to be keen to bolster his midfield following the injury to Aron Gunnarsson and Forshaw could well be the answer.

The Bluebirds have struggled in the midfield area in recent weeks, so Forshaw could help to improve upon that and he is certainly a realistic target for Warnock.

According to HITC, the Bluebirds could opt to make a move to sign the Highly-rated midfielder, but whether Middlesbrough would sell to a promotion rival remains to be seen.

Embed from Getty Images

Forshaw has made a total of 92 appearances since making the move to the North East outfit in 2015, scoring on two occasions.

He’s also had spells at Brentford and Wigan, as well as making a solo appearance for Premier League outfit Everton.

Forshaw could help Cardiff as they bid for promotion to the Premier, despite going through a sticky patch of late, and have lost four on the bounce during the festive period.

Embed from Getty Images

It seems like a sensible mood, especially with the Bluebirds currently lacking depth in the midfield area.

Forshaw has seen his time limited at the Riverside stadium this season, having made just 11 appearances in total, and six of those have come from the substitutes bench.

It would be a good move for the Bluebirds, given Forshaw’s experience in the Championship and he could offer a different element to the Cardiff City midfield.

And with Forshaw’s future still in doubt at the Riverside stadium, it is most certainly a move which could go ahead, and a signing which Cardiff ideally need if they’re to push for promotion this season.

Take a client's raw idea to international success
Client: 1Above
Take a client's raw idea to international success
Client: 1Above

1Above is a single-mindedly focused flight drink that helps you take control of your health when you fly and arrive ready to get the most out of your journey.

We have been involved since inception including naming, brand story, brand identity, packaging, retail kiosk, staff uniforms, vehicle livery and marketing collateral.

Two years after launch, 1Above is growing rapidly and with significant venture fund investment is now poised to enter game-changer times, with distribution about to commence in UK and USA airports.

The Brief

One man with a big idea enters Insight’s boardroom in 2006 and outlines his plan to conquer the world with his beverage that will help save lives and ensure people arrive healthy and ready to make the most out of their journey. He knew there had to be a way to lessen the risk of deep vein thrombosis and set about to create a drink to specifically target hydration, circulation and jet lag through proven science.

Our task was to co-create this product with him, through naming, branding, packaging and marketing collateral.

The Solution

While the product took three years to come to market, the core brand elements were created within three months. We developed a short list of four potential brand positions with associated names and outline brand stories. 1Above was selected, representing the notion of being a smarter way to fly for the well-travelled, while also nodding to some of the science behind the functionality of the product. The logo, colour palette and brand proposition gained clarity as our next step, from which we turned our attention to the pack design.

A core part of the visual language we developed had aviation connotations: the rich blue colour key and a water droplet shape that channelled an aerofoil wing shape. This became the signature shape for the brand and emerged from a broad bottle shape exploration as the most distinctive and brand-aligned opportunity. We brought Jamie McLellan to the party to assist with the bottle design. Jamie had established a strong product and furniture design pedigree in London and had recently returned to New Zealand.

Writing the detailed brand story was quite a challenge. A complex product in a completely new product category that needed some explaining to give it the credibility it absolutely deserved – all crunched down into accessible bite-sized pieces.

We now had a brand ready for launch. And then came the funding rounds which delayed full production and launch for another two years.

The Results

1Above has proved itself in the market after its initial launch through its dedicated kiosk at Auckland International Airport. The testimonials from amazed travellers are staggering. The product has had two line extensions, with the imminent launch of two more. It is available in New Zealand and Australian airports and is about to be launched at Gatwick and, later in the year, throughout the East Coast airports in the USA. Sales have rocketed, growing 1773% in its first year (from a very low base), with subsequent growth of almost 50% per annum. With the UK and USA distribution channels about to open, growth is set for sales to be in the tens of millions of dollars.

Most people look forward to summer vacations and holiday weekends. They get a chance to relax, unwind, and get away from their regular lives. However, some people view a vacation as a chance to take drugs or get drunk without worrying about their responsibilities.

Unfortunately, the pressure and expectation to relax may not put everyone in the best state of mind and may cause more stress than everyday life. This article was written by a woman who describes her vacation experiences. For many years, the author and her group of friends would take copious amounts of drugs while on a trip to a lake house or cabin. However, the “drug vacations” stopped being fun when married friends decided to bring along their children. Instead of not using drugs, the author’s friends would get high or drunk and leave her to take care of their children because they know she’s sober. In the article, the author writes about her fears and concerns when it comes to watching other people’s children. The author finishes the article by stating that she is no longer going on vacation with her friends unless they agree to not bring their kids.

Drug use on vacation can also apply to a long holiday weekend. This article discusses how some people may view the holidays as a frustrating and stressful time. Family outings can start out as a good time for all, however some family members may bring up previous conflicts and disagreements. This may cause someone to drink more than acceptable and get too belligerent. Many young adults who are on the brink of addiction may up their substance use just to be able to deal with the stress of the holidays. This can push them over into full-time addiction

Everyone has their own way of relaxing, however using drugs or drinking too much alcohol is not a healthy form of relaxation. Using drugs and getting drunk “only” during vacations or holidays does not mean that someone isn’t an addict. The constant, repetitive behavior can lead to trouble while on vacation and it can even carry over to someone’s everyday life. No one drug is safe to use, even when the user’s environment has changed.

Introduction: The Fun, Surprising, Exploding Gift Box

Picture of The Fun, Surprising, Exploding Gift Box

This will probably not be so fun or amazing if you give it to your grandmother and she has a heart attack, but other than that you will be a Christmas hero.  Really easy and relatively quick to build and cost $3 at the dollar store plus some stuff I had lying around the house.  Also can be used for birthdays and other occasions.

As usual I've embeded the video from my podcast here.  I also have embeded video of my son opening the box on christmas morning.

don't forget to check out my other instructables and other episodes of my podcast.

Step 1: Materials

Picture of Materials

You will need 2 mouse traps for this, I got a package of 4 for $1
A box that will fit the two mousetraps on the bottom. $1
Some mini bows, christmas confetti or anything light and christmasy that won't take an eye out. $2
Some thin strong thread
a small scrap of steel used as a weight
scissors and/or exacto knife
glue - i used a hot glue gun

not shown in picture-
Some scrap cardboard from your recycling bin
tape - i used some clear and some duct tape
a bit of wrapping paper

Step 2: Assembly of Box

Picture of Assembly of Box

The first thing I did was hot glue the mouse traps to the piece of steel.  It is easier to tie the thread on while they are fixed but not in the box.

Take careful note of how the mouse traps are oriented.

You want the trips to be pulled inwards.  You also want the trap parts of the mouse traps to be opposite to lift the false floor as evenly as possible.  I tried to tie the thread loose enough that it would not affect the swing of the trap but tight enough that if only one trap was sprung, the string would pull the other one as the trip flew out of the way.  Glue the plate of steel into the bottom of the box.

I would suggest doing it with the traps not set (this is so no one writes me later telling me they got hurt)  The traps should not be armed until 5 minutes before you give the gift.

Drill a tiny hole in the box in the location shown and feed some thread through and tie it to the thread going between the trips.  You can see I tied a loop so it would pull both sides evenly.

Step 3: Assembly of False Floor

Picture of Assembly of False Floor

I just used a cereal box from the recycling bin.  I measured the inside of the box and drew a square a little smaller (you want a loose fit)  but before I cut it out I drew in a skirt that would fold down 1 inch or so to elevate the floor above the traps.  I cut it out, taped the sides together and added some christmas wrapping paper to disguise it.  The gift needs to be light so I taped a gift card onto it.

Lastly I cut an opening in the skirt for the thread to pass through.

Step 4: Arming

Picture of Arming

Now the traps are surprisingly stable once armed and will take a bit of jostling around but I would suggest arming it only a few minutes before giving it away to be safe.

One trick that helps me is to use a pencil eraser to help hold the trap down.  This way when you are working on it you only have to put one hand in the box and when you release the trap and you hope it is set right, your hands are out of the way.

Then carefully lower the false floor and gift over top of the traps.  Fill the remaining box with christmas confetti and place the lid on gently tucking any extra string into the top of the box.

Step 5: The Money Shot

Try to remain calm and keep a straight face as you hand that special someone the gift.

We have video of this being used on my son on our facebook page

The other half of the video is from instructables user Behnt, his Grinch tree 'ible is here

fluoro9 (author)2009-12-28

 Really good idea! But it's totally safe?

dave spencer (author)fluoro92009-12-28

Everything in it is so light it could not do any damage.  I also set it off on myself at chest height.  Normally people open it on their laps.  I will try to get the video up soon of my 7 year old son opening it on Christmas morning.  I obviously would not put him in harms way.

video is up.

8bitprodigy (author)2009-12-14

 even better, attach the string to the gift card, so when they take it out of the box it activates the mousetraps!

dave spencer (author)8bitprodigy2009-12-18

I would be worried that the traps might hit their fingers even through the false floor.  You would not want to take a chance of this hurting someone.

Adum24 (author)2009-12-17

This is kind of like my surprise rumbling box. This is pretty awesome,though.

I have been writing erotic short stories and one-pagers for a number of years now. I am not a professional writer and all of my works have been for personal consumption, be it mine or the recipient for whom it was intended. As in my everyday life, most of my stories and depictions have centered around interracial relations, more specifically white man/black woman. This is my primary target area. I am excited to join this site and look forward to enjoying and learning much.

Guilty Cocker Spaniels
Guilty Cocker Spaniels - No One's First, and You're Next

well i took off running at the greatest speed
i didn't bother looking to either side of me
well i didn't see, i just didn't see
what was really going on

the truth is stopped and the skyline rose
exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes
i'd left the hills at this point in time
to run on treadmills in a perfect line

salad days add up to daily shit
sparkling imagination until the sparks just quit
and if this is fun, why am i so bored with it
well i will probably never know

guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps
well we rolled over, how our master clapped
it felt so good, we wanted more of that
but when the program failed they defensively laughed
said we did things just how you asked
don't try taking us to task
you didn't bite face
nope, just a mask
so happy halloween

i drew a blank, we put it in a frame
wait, what, you're winning
you didn't say this was a game
well i guess i'll just have to play and play
until i'm out of cash

before i could spit it out
i guess the words had burnt my mouth
what can i say

best of all, i laid it down
so you could take it out of context
either way

we said all along we deserve every bit
and mostly we knew that the surprise would quit
but we got going and going just away with it
until everybody lost their mind

directly behind me and ahead of the time
but don't you worry, it'll fall right in line
yes everything's just fine, fine, fine
no one's getting blamed this time

blame me so blameless
can we find a way to blame our way out

well i postdated the eulogy
for every blameless body now, now

we are blamelessly teething on much more than we need
now, now now

blamelessly teething

we're likely to blame, 'cause everyone, everyone knew

[Isaac: that was pretty good]

[Unknown: that one seemed pretty good]

Stirling's Online Food Market Celebrates First Birthday

Stirling Food Assembly celebrated its first birthday on Friday 5th October, having sold a whopping 2800 baskets of produce and generated over £55,000 for the local economy.

To mark the occasion and stir up even more local interest in the scheme, the popular online food market hosted a free tasting session at Stirling Cycle Hub with everything from locally made cheese and sourdough bread to organic beef and seasonal veg.

The eco-friendly initiative, which encourages consumers to shop local, was launched last autumn by Stirling based charity Forth Environment Link and is now ranked among the top three Food Assemblies in UK.

Food Hub Officer, Stuart Guzinski said: “The market was an immediate hit with the local community, attracting 100 orders in its first week, and has gone on to outperform markets in major UK cities such as London. Unlike with the big supermarkets, our producers keep almost all the profits; with each weekly market generating an average of £1000 for the local economy.”

The Food Assembly scheme, which originated in France, aims to connect shoppers with the people who make or grow food in their local area. The average distance travelled by producers to the Stirling market is 16 miles, cutting down the journey between farm and fork. Users can simply click and collect their order, with pickups from Stirling Cycle Hub on a Thursday or Friday.

In the past 12 months, the market has grown from 9 producers to 36, and now offers everything from fruit, veg and eggs to seafood, raw cakes and hand roasted coffee.

One of the key principles of the Food Assembly movement is to reduce food waste. Ylva Haglund, Food Waste Campaigns Manager at Zero Waste Scotland, said: “Our Love Food Hate Waste campaign is about helping people value and make the most of their food. Being a member of a Food Assembly is a fantastic way to enjoy delicious food, meet local producers and make connections that help us appreciate our food. Congratulations to Stirling Food Assembly on their huge success in the past year.”

Liquid bridges with moving contact lines are found in a variety of
settings, such as capillary feeders and high-speed printing processes.
Despite this relevance, studies on liquid bridges often assume that
the contact lines remain pinned in place during stretching. While
this may be the case for some applications, contact line motion is
desirable in printing processes so that the amount of liquid
transferred can be maximized. In this thesis we study several model
problems to improve our understanding of how moving contact lines
alter the dynamics of liquid bridges.

We use the finite element method to study the stretching of a liquid
bridge between either two flat plates or a flat plate and a cavity.
For axisymmetric bridges we find that while the wettability of the two
surfaces is a key factor in controlling liquid transfer between two
flat plates, the presence of a cavity leads to fundamentally different
bridge dynamics. This is due to the pinning of the contact line on
the cavity wall, which leads to a decrease in the amount of liquid
transferred to the flat plate. We find that the presence of inertia
aids in cavity emptying by forcing the interface further into the
cavity. However, this increase in emptying can be offset by an
increased tendency for the production of satellite drops as the flat
plate is made more wettable.

To study non-axisymmetric flows we solve the Navier-Stokes equations
in three dimensions. We find that when the stretching motion is
asymmetric the liquid remains evenly distributed after breakup, so
long as the two plates are not accelerating relative to each other. If
the bridge shape is not initially cylindrical we find that the ability
of the bridge to maintain its initial shape after breakup depends on
the friction between the contact line and the solid.

Finally, we use flow visualization to observe the stretching of liquid
bridges both with and without small air bubbles. We find that while
the breakup of wetting fluids between two identical surfaces is
symmetric about the bridge midpoint, contact line pinning breaks this
symmetry at slow stretching speeds for nonwetting fluids. We exploit
this observation to force the bubbles selectively toward the least
hydrophillic plate confining the bridge.

Ryan Madson Signs With Cincinnati Reds for $8.5 Million
  by: iradioal - Philadelphia, PA
started: 01/11/12 5:40 am | updated: 01/11/12 5:40 am
Ryan Madson will be wearing red next year but it will be for the Cincinnati Reds, not the Philadelphia Phillies. Madson reached an oral agreement for a 1-year contract worth $8.5 million to pitch as their closer next year. He will be replacing Fransico Cordero whose $12 million option was declined, in favor of a $1 million buy out.

Ryan Madson stepped into the closer role for the Phillies in 2011 after Brad Lidge was plagued by injuries. He was 4-2 with a 2.47 ERA, and saved 32 of 34 chances.

In November, the Phillies and Madson nearly reached a deal for 4 years, $44 million but that deal collapsed. Shortly afterward, Philadelphia signed Boston closer, Jonathan Papelbon to a four-year contract worth $50 million. The Phillies seemed to still be interested in keeping Madson, who has been with the organization since being drafted in the 9th round in 1998 and has had success in his carreer has a setup man, but Madson declined arbitration.

In 491 career games, including 18 starts, Madson is 47-30 with a 3.59 ERA and 52 saves. He most probably wants to prove that he can be a year-long closer (with the Reds) and sign a large contract for that role at the end of next year.

IDF Chief of Staff Gantz: Entire Middle East is Upside Down

The instability in Lebanon, the IDF Chief of Staff said, was a good example of how the old order in the Middle East was being eroded.

Contact Editor

Flash 90

IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz said Sunday that Israel could “not afford” to let the northern front get too active. “We cannot allow the front to heat up too much with terror attacks launched against us,” Gantz said. The instability in Lebanon, he said, was a good example of how the old order in the Middle East was being eroded - and it is not clear what will replace it.

Speaking at a memorial service for former IDF Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, who passed away four years ago, Gantz said “we are currently at what could be called a historical junction. There is a wide chasm between the way the Western countries split up this region 100 years ago through various agreements – mostly for their own convenience – and the reality of today,” with the arrangements for the nation-states decided upon in previous agreements between France, Britain, and other countries falling victim to revolution in places like Syria and Libya.

“As a result there is a conceptual threat to the entire structure of the Middle East, as we have known them,” said Gantz. “There are several different groups struggling now – the radical Sunni Jihadists, who are attacking countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt. There is also Lebanon, which is now torn between different forces, and the group that seeks to preserve Syria and Lebanon's connection with Iran. And of course, there is the 'Arab street,' which is making itself heard loudly, even in Egypt, where even President a-Sisi cannot ignore it.”

In addition to the military threats, Israel also had a new field of battle – the cyber field, where enemies were constantly on the attack. “Once, you knew who the players were and what their relative strengths and weaknesses were in the military sphere. Things have changed drastically,” Gantz said; just a few years ago, no one could have guessed that hackers could imperil national defense, but today “the arc of threats is very wide. While we are speaking here, hackers can destroy an Israeli bank."

“We are witnesses to a very unstable geopolitical situation today,” Gantz added. “There is no reason to believe that what was and is will still be in another five or ten years.”

Outlook.com Updated with Advanced Rules, Undo, and In-line Reply

Outlook.com Updated with Advanced Rules, Undo, and In-line Reply

Three big new features and some improvements to messaging

Microsoft today announced a set of new features for its consumer-oriented Outlook.com web email service. Starting today, Outlook.com gains three new features—Advanced rules, Undo, and in-line reply—plus some improvements to the built-in messaging functionality that works with Facebook, Messenger and Skype.

"The average person has 184 emails in their inbox, and receives 28 emails each day," Microsoft's Mike Schackwitz notes in a new post to the Office Blogs. "This can be a lot to handle, so helping you get to the email you care about is one of our top priorities. The new features, which are rolling out today, build on our commitment to give your inbox new and better ways to do the heavy lifting and help you save time."

These new features (and improvements) include:

Advanced rules. Using a new wizard, you can now create multi-action and multi-condition rules that will help keep your inbox organized. Optional conditions include constraints, email tallying, checking read/unread state of emails, and checking if the sender is a contact you know.

Undo. Now, you can undo mistakes for range of actions—including delete, categorize, flag, mark as junk, or move—for one or more email messages. To undo an action, just click the Undo toolbar button or type CTRL + Z.

In-line reply. Now, you can respond directly to an email thread without launching a new view. In-line reply can help you save time, and track your conversations more easily, Microsoft says.

Improved messaging. If there's a feature in Outlook.com that I actually hate, it has to be the built-in messaging functionality, to which Microsoft added Skype integration last year but no way to turn it off. With this update, Outlook.com's messaging feature has gotten a few improvements, none of which seem to address my concern. Which is, I just want to turn the damn thing off.

Don't see these updates yet? Microsoft says that while they're rolling out starting today, some people may not see them for a few weeks.

Paedophile teacher jailed for five and a half years

Paedophile teacher Jeremy Forrest has been jailed for five and a half years on five charges of sexual activity with a child and one count of child abduction.

Forrest, 30, waived his rights under extradition laws which had prevented him from being tried for the sexual offences, paving the way for him to be sentenced for all six charges.

ITV News correspondent Emily Morgan reports:

The jury at Lewes Crown Court heard that Forrest had groomed the schoolgirl into having sex with him before he took her to France as he attempted to avoid being caught.

Judge Michael Lawson QC sentenced Forrest to four and a half years for the five offences of sexual activity with a child and one year for the offence of child abduction, which will run consecutively.

He told Forrest:

Your behaviour in this period has been motivated by self-interest and has hurt and damaged many people - her family, your family, staff and pupils at the school and respect for teachers everywhere.

It has damaged you too but that was something you were prepared to risk. You now have to pay that price.

It was your duty as a teacher to stop her infatuation, not to fuel it.

Judge Lawson also imposed a Sexual Offences Prevention Order on Forrest, banning him from working or volunteering with children and unsupervised contact with children forever. He was also ordered to sign on the Sex Offenders Register.

Prosecution lawyer Richard Barton read a victim impact statement provided by the girl's mother.

She said in Forrest had "robbed her daughter of her childhood" and stressed that she and her daughter had fallen out since.

"I feel the [daughter] I knew is dead and it upsets me beyond words", she continued. "I feel completely useless most of the time. I feel like I have failed as a parent as I cannot understand how someone could do this to my child and I had no idea".

Forrest's family said they hoped the case would lead to a full examination of what went wrong.

In a statement, read by solicitor Henrietta Ronson, his family described the case as a "sorry episode for all concerned" and they said Forrest "is very sorry for his actions".

Mum hopes plans for cerebral palsy treatment trial will help hundreds of youngsters like Holly

A life-changing operation that will help hundreds of people with cerebral palsy is to be trialled for the first time in the UK thanks to years of campaigning by a family from Northamptonshire.

In 2010, four-year-old Holly Davies from Daventry went to America for surgery that allowed her to stand flat on her feet and walk without falling over for the very first time.

Her mum and Dad say they are delighted that many more will now be given the chance to live a better life without having to raise the tens of thousands of pounds needed to have the operation abroad.

Sarah Beecroft reports.

Maynard, who played for Surrey, was the son of former England and Glamorgan batsman Matthew Maynard and was described as having 'enormous potential'.

Shortly after his death, the England and Wales Cricket Board issued a statement saying 'Experts both inside and outside the club predicted he would soon follow in the footsteps of his father Matthew by graduating to full England honours.'

At the time of his death, the former England captain Andrew Flintoff tweeted that it was 'tragic news that a great lad Tom Maynard is no longer with us.'

Gareth Bale in talks over new contract at Spurs

Gareth Bale has been in pre-season action for Spurs, amidst rumours of a move to Real Madrid. Credit: PA

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed that the club is in talks with Gareth Bale's agent, over a new contract for the Wales star.

The 24-year-old, from Cardiff, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer - with £80m even mentioned as a potential transfer fee.

Bale is currently contracted to Spurs until 2016.

Villas-Boas said: "There is ongoing contact between the club and his agent. Talks are ongoing but that doesn't mean there is an agreement. At the moment we're confident that the player is under contract at Tottenham, as was done last year."

In this absorbing autobiography, Herman B Wells, the legendary former president of Indiana University, recalls his small-town boyhood, the strong influence of his parents, his pioneering work with Indiana banks during the Great Depression, and his connection with IU, which began as a student when the still provincial school had fewer than 3,000 students. At the end of his 25-year tenure as president, IU was a university with an international reputation and a student body that would soon exceed 30,000. Both lighthearted and serious, Wells’s reflections describe in welcome detail how he approached the job, his observations on administration, his thoughts on academic freedom and tenure, his approach to student and alumni relations, and his views on the role of the university as a cultural center. Being Lucky is a nourishing brew of the memories, advice, wit, and wisdom of a remarkable man.

Author Bio

Herman B Wells (1902–2000) served Indiana University in a variety of capacities, most notably as its 11th president and as chancellor, and was pivotal in IU’s development into a world-class institution of higher learning.

William James (1842-1910) is a canonical figure of American pragmatism. Trained as a medical doctor, James was more engaged by psychology and philosophy and wrote a foundational text, Pragmatism, for this characteristically American way of thinking. Distilling the main currents of James's thought, William J. Gavin focuses on "latent" and "manifest" ideas in James to disclose the notion of "will to believe," which courses through his work. For students who may be approaching James for the first time and for specialists who may not know James as deeply as they wish, Gavin provides a clear path to understanding James’s philosophy even as he embraces James’s complications and hesitations.

Author Bio

William J. Gavin is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern Maine. He is author of William James and the Reinstatement of the Vague and Cuttin’ the Body Loose: Historical, Biological, and Personal Approaches in Death and Dying. He is former president of the William James Society.

Are you in a band? Or would you like to volunteer?

Here at the Jane Tomlinson Appeal we are looking for bands and DJ's to help support our Appeal Team runners at the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon.

On October 20th over 6000 people will take to the streets of York and the Yorkshire countryside to run 26.2miles in aid of their chosen charity. Of those runners an incredible 800 will be sporting our blue t-shirts and running to support the Appeal.

Since its launch in January this year the support for the event has been overwhelming. Event organisers, Marathon Yorkshire, are hoping to create that festival feel in October for both runners and spectators alike and so we need your help!

To help keep runners motivated as they clock up the miles we are looking for bands, DJ's, cheerleaders and choir groups to entertain the runners and spectators at specific points around the route.

Should you be interested in finding out more or wish to get involved please get in touch with our team at

Not in a band but want to get involved. Why not volunteer?

A small army of volunteers are needed to make the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon happen with people needed to help in baggage, start/finish areas, marshalling on course, information points through to water stations. So why not get involved.

Who can volunteer?
Everyone is welcome to volunteer the only recommendation we make is that volunteers are aged over 16 to volunteer independently (14 and 15 year olds can volunteer with a supervising parent/guardian).

- Start/Finish
- Route Marshals
- Senior Marshals
- Drink Station Marshals
- Baggage Store Marshals
- Race Office

You just need lots of enthusiasm and a proactive attitude, excellent communications skills and to enjoy working as part of a team and you can help ensure a positive experience for our thousands of runners.

Benefits of volunteering?
- Meeting new people
- Helping local and national charities
- Supporting and improving the experience of our thousands of participants

Danny Mills serves up football skills & school dinners

Danny Mills, former England and Leeds United Footballer and Jane Tomlinson Appeal patron, spent the morning at a York school.

A parent at All Saints RC School in York won a prize at the Yorkshire International Business Convention of a dinner cooked by Danny.  They very generously offered to donate Danny's time to the school instead.

Danny started off the morning in the Year 9 assembly then joined in their PE lessons teaching them about training methods, injury treatment and the importance of being fit and healthy.

Danny finished off his morning in the school by joining the dinnerladies and serving up lunch.

The pupils and teachers of All Saints RC School had a great morning and took a lot of inspiration from Danny's visit.
