Date:Tuesday March 30 2010
Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez has been asked by the FA to clarify his comments following remarks made about referee Stuart Attwell who sent off Latics centre back Gary Caldwell in the 3-0 loss at Manchester City.
Martinez branded the match referee a `liar` when he explained his reason for issuing the red card to Caldwell, a decision that altered the course of the game.
Attwell told Martinez that he sent off Caldwell for a two-footed lunge at Carlos Tevez when clearly Caldwell`s challenge was one footed, the Latics boss was obviously incensed by the inexperienced whistle blower`s decision especially as his view of the incident was obscured by other players and he seemed to react to Tevez` actions when he writhed around on the floor as though he`d had his legs broken but the Argentina international jumped up as soon as the red card had been flashed at Caldwell.
Speaking to the press about the sending off Martinez said: 'I cannot understand how you can give something you can't see'
'To give a red card you have to be certain.
'Gary said he went in really strong and got the ball. Carlos Tevez saw it and jumped off the ground, he is the one who left both feet...
'We are all human beings and we all make mistakes but to give a decision after something you don't see that is lying. You are making it up. That is hard to take.
'He (the referee) said he saw Gary Caldwell with both feet off the ground. That's why he gave the red card. But Gary Caldwell only went with one foot. That is a real injustice.'
This isn`t the first time Attwell has left a Latics boss fuming, last season West Ham visited the DW Stadium and the young referee totally lost control of the game issuing 2 red and 7 yellow cards, sending off Carlton Cole for 2 marginal yellow-card offences, failed to send off Lucas Neill for a dangerous tackle on Latics Lee Cattermole and then subsequently failed to control the players after sending off Cattermole for a tackle on Scott Parker who rolled about like a fish out of water. Latics boss at the time Steve Bruce said: 'The game was ruined as a spectacle... In my opinion, Mr Attwell is not ready to step up to the plate.'

Saluting Dr. Ashira Blazer
Ashira Blazer’s philosophy is simple but profound: “We’re all healthier when we’re ALL healthier. And we can’t all progress until we ALL progress.”
By Anthony Williams | Feb. 22, 2022 | Updated Feb. 1, 2024
As a trailblazer in rheumatology, Dr. Blazer is encouraged by signs of progress in addressing racial disparities in health care in the United States. She also believes we must be honest about our history so we can fix the many shortcomings that still exist.
She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Houston and her Doctor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. While she was studying there, her cousin was experiencing symptoms that sounded a lot like symptoms of lupus Ashira was reading about in her textbook. She helped ensure that her cousin got a confirmed diagnosis of lupus and started on a treatment course.
“I would go to rheumatology clinics and see non-minority patients and note the differences between their journeys and that of my cousin’s,” she says. “I later learned I had other family members who also had lupus, and I became curious about why there were such disparities, and what kind of solutions we could come up with. There was such a huge disparity in health outcomes in what I was seeing with other people compared to the people who were closest to me.”
Today, Dr. Blazer is assistant professor and academic rheumatologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, which specializes in orthopedic surgery and the treatment of rheumatologic conditions. For many years before that, she was a rheumatologist, physician scientist and assistant professor at New York University, where she specialized in treating and researching lupus in people of African descent (and where she earned a Master of Science degree).
Dr. Blazer believes progress is being made to address disparities, but more is needed. “A lot of these conversations are being had, and I applaud that,” she says. “Many institutions are starting to understand that racism is a public health crisis and needs to be addressed directly. Major funding organizations are creating applications to come up with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)-related solutions. That’s a welcomed shift in priorities. I’ve seen many more academic partnerships with patient advocacy groups; often, they are groups of minorities, representing what minority patients go through. This will give physicians a perspective they may not have had before.”
Dispelling a big myth
Dr. Blazer says there’s a lot in our living history we need to realize. “I think one of the biggest myths that has persisted for over a century is that minorities, particularly African Americans, suffer because there’s some biological difference between the races. And that’s the reason why health outcomes are different. A lot of health professionals and the general public take that notion for granted.
“They don’t understand the dark history of the concept that minorities, mainly African Americans and Native Americans, were designed to suffer, which was created to justify their poor treatment and slavery.”
As co-chair of the DEI committee for the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), she says, “We’re looking at systemic and structural changes to combat disparities.”
She further describes it this way: “A lot of times, doctors who are white hear that ‘patients don’t trust us because of racism.’ The first thing they may think is, ‘I’m not a racist. I didn’t do any of those things. I became a doctor because I have empathy for patients.’ That may be true, but what they miss is that racism is a structure and a system.
“When a white doctor interacts with a minority patient, that doctor has their own set of experiences, perhaps privileges. The patient has their experiences. Maybe they’ve lost their job. Maybe they were stressed in childhood. Or suffered from poverty. Or grew up being told they couldn’t be something because of who they are or what they look like. All of that needs to be considered in order to build trust.”
“We can’t all progress until we ALL progress.”
“There’s already this power differential between doctor and patient, but also racial dynamics,” Dr. Blazer continues. “Maybe the doctor lectures them about not complying with their prescribed treatment. But maybe that patient, if they’ve lost their job, can’t afford the medication. That patient feels they are being blamed for not doing what they were told to do.
“This principle can be applied to other health behaviors, such as eating healthfully for those who live in food deserts, or walking more for those who live in dangerous neighborhoods. This difference in perspective and power creates a cycle of blame instead of mutual understanding and healing.”
What needs to be done to attract more minorities, including Black Americans, to the field of rheumatology?
In a survey of rheumatologists, according to Dr. Blazer, fewer than 4% represented minorities and fewer than 1% were Black Americans.
“Rheumatology is one of the least diverse specialties,” she says. “The pipeline for all medical fields is not very diverse. But thankfully that’s changing. There’s an unprecedented number of African Americans enrolling in medical schools, which is fantastic. But there are still layered structures for people of color to be able to advance in the U.S.
“I think we really have to change what to look for in the next generation of rheumatologists. We must prioritize what we know is going to improve the health of all patients. We’re all healthier when we’re ALL healthier. And we can’t all progress until we ALL progress.”

The end of the year coincided with the end of the Albee Square Mall’s 31-year life. Built in 1977 on the site of the former Albee Square Theater, the mall’s popularity (See, to me this mall is like number one, and any other shoppers that try to compareâ€”there ain’t no way they could hang out with Albee Square, sang Biz Markie) was ultimately no match for the march of real estate progress down Flatbush Avenue. The new mixed-use development rising on the site (rendered at right) will have 650 units of residential space in addition to 475,000 square feet of retail and more than 100,000 square feet of Class A office space. Sounds like a party.

The Rising Souls are a band I’m incredibly grateful to have discovered – once again, the wonder that is 2Seas Sessions have introduced audiences to something special. The band offer precisely the passion and grit that appeals, particularly to fans of rock or acoustic soul or anything with that alternative, inherently emotional edge that we so crave in music.
The live session is the perfect place to begin, and Hold On is a stunning song, gentle and intense in equal parts, simple yet incredibly complex in content and sentiment. The band perform according to the what the song and the moment needs, not simply to show off individual points of skill. There’s a definite unity here that allows the softness of this piece to really reach out and connect. 2Seas Sessions have framed for us the sheer passion and thought that has gone into the band’s performance, and it makes for an addictive live video that’s almost certainly the start of something much bigger.
The song has a pretty simple set-up, a subtle rhythm, a comforting ambiance with a touch of concern or melancholy. The band’s leading vocalist, David, drives the melody and the lyricism through with sincere and captivating soul. The performance is heart-wrenchingly open, genuine, and alongside of this – the band support and enhance the effect at every step.
The final few moments showcase a change in structure, a shift in the mood – a resolve of sorts. I’m tempted to make comparisons purely because it’s been a while since a band has had the weight and passion required to really carry such honest songs like this along under a captivating light. Think blues-rock, Americana fusion, soul, even classic rock and roll – the latter increasingly so throughout their other live performances for 2Seas Sessions. Defiantly a band to get on-board with.

A tomato cage, a sled, a bucket: Idaho elk are getting entangled in yard items
Several elk have become entangled in household objects in the Wood River Valley over the last week, prompting the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to urge residents to remove any items that could pose a hazard to wildlife.
In a news release, the agency said it has received reports of elk tangled in a 5-gallon bucket, a sled and wire tomato cages. Fish and Game conservation officers recently anesthetized a cow elk with a tomato cage around her neck so they could remove the object.
Officials said it’s the latest rash of entanglements in a trend they’ve seen for several years. The news release noted elk have become tangled in “a wide range of objects, such as swing sets, hammocks, a dream catcher lawn decoration, tomato cages, a tennis court net, Christmas lights, Christmas wreaths, clothesline, barbed wire, bailing twine, horse halter and lead rope and the bottom of a bird feeder.”
Some instances aren’t life-threatening — such as when items get tangled in a bull elk’s antlers, which are shed around March. Officers opted to remove the wire tomato cage because they didn’t think the item would come off on its own.
Fish and Game urged residents of the Wood River Valley — which includes Sun Valley, Hailey, Ketchum and Bellevue — to check their properties for items that could be a risk to wildlife. The agency said tomato cages pose a significant risk, as moose and elk will sometimes become trapped in them while looking for leftover garden vegetation.
Officials said anesthetizing wildlife is difficult on the animals and can even be deadly. Some animals react differently to the sedatives, and some may run into traffic or other hazardous situations before the drugs take effect.
Fish and Game said anyone who sees entangled wildlife in the Wood River Valley should report the sighting to the Magic Valley Region Office at (208) 324-4359.

Several members of the Washington Wizards, the closest NBA team to Baltimore, added their perspectives on the situation, via the Washington Post. Most prominent among them was Paul Pierce.
“I just think it’s really upsetting when you see a community just go out and burn down stores and trash cars," said Pierce. "Those are some of the things that I saw on the news but I also saw some positive things. Some of the people rallying together for a cause. It’s funny because I sent out on Twitter yesterday that it reminded me of the L.A. riots. … At the end of the day, the riots were all over and you looked up and the stores that we go to weren’t there anymore. It’s pretty much a lot of vandalism and it really didn’t help the cause. So I understand the mindset but it really isn’t helping the cause when you destroy the things in the places that we know and that we live in. So the people of Baltimore, I just wish there could be some resolve to this.”
And John Wall added his voice on Twitter:
Come on Baltimore Lets ban together for PEACE! Violence isn't the answer! #PrayersUp

Like I said last week, it isn’t really fair to describe Sheila E. as a “Prince protegé” in the typical sense of the world. Born Sheila Escovedo, she has an impressive musical pedigree all her own: the daughter of Mexican American percussionist Pete Escovedo and the goddaughter of Latin jazz pioneer Tito Puente, her professional recording career actually predates the Purple One’s; she made her debut on Yesterday’s Dreams by former Weather Report bassist Alphonso Johnson in 1976, two years before the release of Prince’s For You. Prince was, however, responsible for introducing her to a pop audience during his mid-1980s “purple reign”; the pair were also briefly engaged, which places Sheila in Prince’s long, dubious tradition of falling for his muses, only to discard them once the next one came along. Still, theirs was much more a relationship between equals than was typical for Prince, either romantically or professionally; their mutual respect was evident in their renewed collaborations over the years, with Sheila frequently joining Prince for guest appearances and touring stints well into the 2010s.
While these distinctions are important, however, in many ways Sheila’s 1984 debut The Glamorous Life is a bog-standard Prince protegé album. Though his lead artist was a world-class percussionist in her own right, Prince still micro-managed the production almost as much as he had the Time and Vanity 6; his guitar and guide vocals are more prominent on the instrumental “Shortberry Strawcake,” for example, than Sheila’s drums. Still, he does at least give her some props: production on the album is credited to Sheila as well as the usual purple shell corporation “the Starr Company,” and she co-wrote the gauzy ballad “Noon Rendezvous.” Her influence can also clearly be heard on “Oliver’s House,” which grooves almost as hard as Prince’s “Erotic City“; and of course, the classic title track–almost an Apollonia 6 song!–finally allows her to cut loose.
The following year’s Romance 1600 picked up where “The Glamorous Life” (the song) left off, with a more pronounced jazz influence–the manic introduction to opening track “Sister Fate” prefigures Sheila’s and Prince’s work in the fusion side project Madhouse–and much more prominent contributions from E. as a percussionist. One song, the preposterously-titled “Merci for the Speed of a Mad Clown in Summer,” was recorded entirely without Prince’s input. Even when Prince is clearly pulling the strings, however, Romance is a more confident and interesting listen than its predecessor, bristling with the neo-psychedelic invention of the post-Purple Rain era. And of course, “A Love Bizarre” is one of the most indelible pop-funk jams in either artist’s discography.
The next collaboration between Prince and Sheila E. didn’t actually show up on an album at all. The faux-rap “Holly Rock,” a kind of dry run for “Housequake” on Sign “O” the Times, was a loosie for the 1985 hip-hop film Krush Groove, in which Sheila starred–and where her band’s New Romantic-inspired fashions were reportedly a figure of derision for many of the real-life B-boys on set. In the meantime, she continued to keep busy as a de facto member of the Revolution, contributing to the 1986 album Parade and joining the band on tour (that’s her drumming and, er, rapping on the live cut turned album track “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night”). After the Revolution split up later that year, she joined Prince’s band full time, supporting him for the Sign “O” the Times and Lovesexy albums and tours, as well as the aforementioned Madhouse project.
Sheila’s final, self-titled 1987 album on Paisley Park is also probably her most underrated. Produced by Prince and Sheila with David Z., much of it is firmly in the stylistic territory of Sign “O” the Times, with extensive contributions by members of Prince’s touring band at the time: including guitarist Levi Seacer, Jr., singer/keyboardist Boni Boyer, saxophonist Eric Leeds, and trumpeter Atlanta Bliss. Granted, parts of it are also a transparent bid for the adult contemporary charts, with tracks like “Hold Me” and “Faded Photographs” failing to distinguish themselves from most generic late-’80s pop/rock. But all of the Prince-related tracks–opener “One Day (I’m Gonna Make You Mine),” playful single “Koo Koo,” “Anotherlover”-esque pop cut “Pride and the Passion,” fluffy Klymaxx-alike “Boy’s Club,” and closer “Love on a Blue Train“–are all well worth a listen.
After an aborted followup album that remains unreleased, Sheila E. made her departure from the Prince camp in 1989–though, as noted above, she would return frequently to his orbit, making memorable appearances on Prince’s Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas DVD in 2003 and his Coachella Music Festival performance in 2008, among others. After Prince’s death this April, she was on many a fan’s shortlist to head up the inevitable award-show tributes–which indeed she did, closing out the show at the 2016 BET Awards last month with a monster medley of “Housequake,” “Erotic City,” “Let’s Work,” “U Got the Look,” “A Love Bizarre,” “The Glamorous Life,” “Soul Salsa,” “America,” and “Baby I’m a Star.” The man himself would have been proud.
Sheila E. is currently at work on her eighth studio album: a two-disc set entitled Girl Meets Boy, comprised of half dance-oriented songs recorded prior to Prince’s passing and half tributes to his memory recorded after April. The title track, released as the album’s first single the day after the BET Awards performance, is a decidedly Prince-flavored ballad featuring Sheila solo on piano accompanied by a delicate string arrangement. Sheila recently told Billboard that her mission is “to continue [Prince’s] legacy in a way that is just about his music.” She’s been doing a fine job so far, and I can’t imagine another solo artist better-suited for the task.
This time next week, I’ll be posting about a lesser-known–and much shorter-lived–Prince spinoff act, the Family. As always, feel free to keep up with my other writing on dance / music / sex / romance (my song-by-song chronological Prince blog) and Dystopian Dance Party (my catch-all pop culture vanity blog). Thanks for reading!

With the success of CAN I KICK IT? (most notably our event at The Kennedy Center) we’ve been placed in the fortunate position to be able to expand that engagement into more cities, and with that being said we’re pleased to announce that on Thurs. March 7th we’ll be conducting CAN KICK IT?, feat Quentin Taratino’s classic Kill Bill, at The Creative Alliance, a multidisciplinary arts organization in Baltimore.

We’ve got some great surprises lined up for our 2019 season including an amazing lineup of cult and contemporary classic martial arts films. Thanks to everyone who’s attended any of our CAN I KICK IT? events, including our Kennedy Center show, shouts to everyone who’s helped and spread the word, and props to Songbyrd for hosting. Your platform is much appreciated.
For more recap pics click Read the rest of this entry
Our CAN I KICK IT? event at The Kennedy Center is, hands down, one of our biggest events to date. The outdoors series at Freedom Plaza that we’ve done with the Downtown DC BID also shares that space. And as cliche as it sounds, its hard to put into words the feeling that we got and how amazing the experience was the day of when 2-Tone dropped the needle and the movie started.
Let me be clear, there was an enormous amount of work that went into every component of the production: the design of the promo materials and the actual promotion of them/the event, the stage design and the careful selection and placement of all of the items, the countless hours (even months) 2-Tone spent curating just the right music for just the right scene. There was a lot to consider and it all led to a remarkable experience that no one, who attended, will ever forget and it also led to us selling out The Kennedy Center’s 450+ seat Terrace Theater.
This experience has been an eye-opener on so many levels including understanding that part of what we’re doing furthers the culture that we love: Hip-Hop. And to think – SHAOLIN JAZZ started in 2011 as an idea for just a mixtape and has grown into something that has graced the halls of a venue as prestigious as The Kennedy Center. But don’t get it twisted, there’s so much more work to be done.
Thank you to Simone Eccleston for giving us a shot and props to her production team for all of their efforts. Thanks to Maishah and Ja’Mon for going above and beyond with our merch table and for providing a warm welcome to all of our attendees. Props to RBI and Roddy (and Choppy), along with 2-Tone, for blessing the show with that dope DJ frenzy. Salute to the radio shows who let 2-Tone and I on and to everyone who helped to spread the word, left a positive comment, etc…regardless if you did or didn’t attend. And of course thank you to everyone who attended (including friends and family) and helped sell-out the show. Your support is more than appreciated.

When it comes to heating your home efficiently, understanding the fuel consumption of your boiler is crucial. Many homeowners who rely on oil-fired boilers often wonder, “How much oil does a boiler use?” This is a common question, and in this guide, we’ll break it down for you.
Whats An Oil Boiler?
An oil boiler, also known as an oil-fired boiler, is a heating system that uses oil as its primary fuel source to generate heat for a building or residential space. These boilers are commonly used in areas where natural gas is not readily available or as an alternative to other heating methods.
Here’s a concise explanation of what an oil boiler is:
An oil boiler is a heating system that utilises oil as its main fuel source to produce heat for homes or buildings. It operates by burning oil in a combustion chamber, heating water or producing steam, which is then circulated through radiators or a hydronic heating system to provide warmth.
Oil boilers are a reliable and efficient option for heating in areas without natural gas access.
How Much Oil Does A Boiler Use Per Hour?
It is estimated that a domestic central heating boiler burns 1.5 to 2.5 litres of oil per hour if it is continuously operating and burning oil.
However, the amount of oil a boiler uses per hour can vary significantly depending on several factors. These factors include the boiler’s size, efficiency, temperature settings, and the heating demands of the building it serves. As a result, there is no fixed “per hour” consumption rate for oil boilers. Instead, oil consumption is typically measured in gallons per day or month.
To estimate how much oil your boiler uses per hour, you can follow these steps:
- Determine Daily Consumption: Start by calculating the total oil consumption in a day. This can be done by recording the oil level in your tank at the beginning of the day and then checking it again at the same time the next day.
- Convert to Hours: Once you know the daily consumption, you can divide it by the number of hours the boiler operates during that day. This will give you an approximate hourly consumption rate.
Calculating Oil Consumption
To estimate how much oil your boiler uses:
- Record Oil Deliveries: Keep track of oil deliveries and the gallons added to your tank.
- Monitor Usage: Check your oil tank gauge regularly to record daily or weekly oil consumption.
- Consider Degree Days: Degree days measure outdoor temperature. Tracking them can help correlate oil usage with weather patterns.
- Consult Your Boiler Manual: Your boiler’s manual may provide information on fuel consumption in different settings.
Factors That Influence Oil Consumption
Several factors come into play when determining how much oil your boiler will consume. Understanding these factors can help you manage your heating costs effectively.
1. Boiler Efficiency
The efficiency of your boiler is a significant factor affecting oil consumption. A well-maintained, high-efficiency boiler will use less oil to produce the same amount of heat compared to an older, less efficient unit.
2. Boiler Size
The size of your boiler matters. A boiler that’s too large for your home will consume more oil than necessary. Conversely, an undersized boiler may struggle to meet your heating needs efficiently.
3. Temperature Settings
The temperature settings on your thermostat can impact oil consumption. Lowering your thermostat a few degrees and using programmable settings can help reduce oil usage.
4. Insulation and Home Efficiency
A well-insulated home retains heat better, reducing the demand on your boiler. Insulating your home and sealing drafts can lead to significant oil savings.
5. Boiler Maintenance
Regular maintenance, including cleaning and tuning, is essential to keep your boiler running efficiently. Neglected boilers may use more oil due to reduced performance.
6. Climate and Weather
Colder climates and harsh winters can lead to increased oil consumption as your boiler works harder to maintain indoor comfort.
What’s The Average Heating Usage Per Month?
To determine your specific average heating usage per month, you can:
- Review your past utility bills, which often provide monthly usage data.
- Use a smart thermostat or energy monitoring system to track your heating consumption.
- Conduct a home energy audit to identify areas where you can improve efficiency.
Understanding how much oil your boiler uses is essential for budgeting and optimising your heating system’s efficiency. Factors such as boiler efficiency, size, and maintenance all play a role in oil consumption. By taking steps to improve efficiency and keep your system well-maintained, you can reduce your environmental footprint and heating costs.

This romantic Italian photo session will show you how to use architecture in your pictures. Jay Studio (photographer) was able to capture the romantic moments while still creating a beautiful image!
Francesco and Roberto used to live and work in Rome, the “eternal” city where they actually met the first time. After they had to move to London, they decided to get back to Rome for their anniversary, in order to see their families and of course, celebrate this important day with some picture taken in the place where they actually started their relationship. Then we spent a few hours of a sunny and funny afternoon at the Capitol, right in the center of Rome, to take some frames they’ll be able to keep with them from now on.

When one witnesses suffering and loss of any kind, whether with those who are close or far away, it is common to express concern in the form of the desire to ‘lift’ these conditions from those affected. However, there ‘is’ a deep Purpose in ALL that shows up in one’s experience – both the affected and the one witnessing.
Suffering is the primary way that ‘attention’ is triggered, and the Purpose is ‘always’ for the benefit of ‘all’ affected in some way. The conditioning which brought about these experiences is being ‘exposed’ and ‘when’ one is finally aware of this it is a profound blessing and opportunity to ‘clear the clouds’ that block the sun of the Truth – the ONE SELF YOU Are. Taking these experiences ‘away’ from the one’s being blessed [no matter how appropriate that may seem] is often a dis-service to them.
Nevertheless, IF the Purpose ‘in the moment’ is for the ‘relief of suffering’, then that should be pursued since ‘these actions’ are also ‘triggers’ related to the dissolution of conditioning. If you ‘Listen’ within … you will know ‘which is which’. Compassion can be both ‘action’ and ‘inaction’.

An explosion at a military camp bar on the outskirts of eastern Congo’s largest city killed at least eight people on 7th April, 2022, a government spokesman said.
The victims had gathered for drinks in the Katindo military camp around 7:40 p.m on Thursday night in Goma, the capital of North Kivu in eastern DRC.
Among the victims, two senior officers of the Congolese army and three women and a child.
Emotions were still running high on Friday morning. The relatives of the victims, still in shock, call for serious investigations.
On Friday morning 8th April, 2022, the military governor of North Kivu, General Constant Ndima Kongba told the press that the origin of the explosion has not yet been determined.
The governor assured the population that the authorities were doing everything possible to shed light on the events.
He said, “In view of the impact of the explosions, I believe that it must be an improvised explosive device. Only scientists will be able to determine what the device was.”
It is recalled that an incident like this occurred in June 2021 when a child died and three other people were injured in a fire near the North Kivu military auditorium in the same camp. North Kivu Province has been under siege for more than a year.

It was going to so well today until I got call this afternoon to say dad had collapsed whilst shopping and rushed to A&E.
He seems to be "ok" which is obviously all that matters. I've been in and out of the hospital since 3:30 as I say seems to be "ok" but will be in the hospital for 3-5 days maybe a bit longer.
As you will understand I can't be bothered to edit pics at the mo..... tomorrow morning.
Oh and apologies for the title but......


I cautiously awaited the year 1997 as this film predicted Global destruction via Artificial Intelligence takeover. That’s right I watched:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a 1991 sequel that may argue is one of the exceptions to the rule that sequels cannot exceed the original’s quality, but as I re-watched this film, I tend to like the original for its more intimate level (James Cameron did the same for the Alien franchise in Aliens.
This film raises the stakes and ratchets the intensity and explosions a thousand fold. No longer is it about surviving (both Sarah and the human race), but now it’s about stopping the incident from happening all together.
There are two types of time travel films: Ones that allow change to occur, and others that prove that the change was either a part of the future, or it could never happen. If we’re to include the following films in the Terminator franchise, then we most certainly are dealing with the latter and not the former.
If the films ended with T2, then we could argue either way; time travel would inherently create an alternate timeline like Back to the Future II explained. So maybe they could have avoided a paradox and saved their alternate timeline, but the timeline that did have the war, would be short a soldier in that of Kyle Reese.
The first two Terminator films had such great villains; they were relentless with only one goal: the main character’s destruction. That’s what made them so memorable, and while they didn’t have a lot in terms of personality, they made up for in sheer tenacity; they were cold-blooded killers.
Terminator 2 had so many great smaller elements that struck a chord with me as a kid; from seeing Danny Cooksey (Spudnick from Salute Your Shorts), those creepy twins from this era of film, and mistaking Joe Morton for O.J. Simpson when the latter’s trial began (I was an ignorant kid).
Where/ when did I first see it?
I first watched this on cable television around 1992, so I didn’t realize there was so much edited for time and content when I first watched the Rated R version.
How does it hold up?
The film holds up incredibly well; it’s a non-stop chase film that truly feels like anything was possible. I remember when watching this as a kid, that I thought Linda Hamilton would die in the film, but was surprised that they kept her around.
The special effects naturally are dated, but I say that every time, right?
What did I like about it and why?
Aside from the aforementioned, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a time travel movie!! I love the possibilities of time travel films, and how they realistically explained that the robot endoskeletons had to be covered in living tissue to survive the trip through time. Geeky, I know, but all the more fun.
- If someone asks for Sarah Connor; run.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger is a flip-flopper. First, he’s out to kill you, then says he’ll “protect you.”
- Skynet couldn’t have possibly created a more obvious killer… Talk about sore thumbs!

If you’re thinking about estate planning, good for you! Your goal is to make…
New York State’s new rules governing the use of the Durable Power of Attorney document are designed to make sure that, when granting powers to an agent, you fully understand what you are doing, particularly when the agent is being given the power to make major gifts of your money or property, to himself or others. Also, the agent is now required to acknowledge his responsibility to act in your best interests, and to sign the document himself.
Here are a few of the specific provisions in the new law regarding the Durable Power of Attorney:
- Your property must be kept separate and distinct from any property individually or jointly owned by your appointed agent.
- Your agent may not transfer any property to himself or herself without your specific authorization.
- Agents are required to avoid conflicts of interest.
- Your agent must keep records of payments, receipts and other transactions, and produce them for inspection at your request, or at the direction of another party you choose to monitor his or her conduct. Certain government agencies are also entitled to inspect records.
- Records need to be made available for inspection with 15 days of a valid request.
- If your agent does not comply with authorized requests for inspection of records and activities, special proceedings are available under the new law to force compliance.
- Agents can be legally liable for failure to act according to a prudent person standard in relation to your finances and assets.

Plans for Scotland to retain its leading role in cutting emissions and to continue to lead global efforts to tackle climate change have been set out today.
The Scottish Government is investing over £1.14 billion over the next three years on measures to address climate change and today published the second draft Report on Proposals and Policies (RPP2).
The report details climate change strategies, which build on Scotland’s current low carbon action plan, to meet its world leading and ambitious climate change targets up to 2027.
By 2010 we were more than halfway to meeting the 2020 target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 42 per cent. The RPP2 shows how Scotland can and will step up its effort from the first RPP to deliver even greater emissions reductions than the independent expert Committee on Climate Change said we could, while stressing that higher ambition and more urgent action is needed across the EU and UK to tackle what is a global climate challenge.
- A new decarbonisation target to cut carbon emissions from electricity generation by more than four-fifths by 2030
- Commitment to deliver the equivalent of at least 100 per cent of gross electricity consumption from renewables by 2020
- A National Retrofit Programme to transform older and colder homes into energy efficient homes
- A £50 million Warm Homes Fund providing grants and loans for renewable energy measures to heat homes
- A new domestic Heat Strategy including publication of a Draft Outline Heat Vision which sets our ambition for a largely decarbonised heat sector by 2030
- Measures to reduce the impact of transport through active travel, low carbon vehicles and congestion reduction with over £200 million investment on top of our on-going investment in public transport
- Ambitious proposals to maximise emissions benefits of restoring degraded peatland
- Increasing woodland creation rates to 10,000 hectares per year
- Phased introduction of bans on materials that may be landfilled, including a ban on biodegradable waste to landfill be the end of 2020, the first of its kind in the UK
Minister for Environment and Climate Change Paul Wheelhouse said:
“Scotland is at the top of the European league table for emissions reductions and is recognised for leading the way across the UK, Europe and the rest of the world in tackling climate change. Our concerted action to tackle greenhouse gas emissions has seen Scotland achieve greater reductions in emissions than not only the UK, but other nations recognised for their high ambition, such as Germany and Denmark.
“The aim of the RPP2 is to demonstrate how Scotland can achieve our longer term targets, to ensure we are continuing our drive to stay at the forefront of climate action in the years to come and setting out how we can make the transition to a low carbon, sustainable Scotland.
“Our commitment to tackling climate change and maintaining our position as a global leader is clear and underlined by the actions we have set out today. We are taking strong action on renewables, zero waste, peatlands and tackling fuel poverty with ambitious new plans to decarbonise production of electricity and heat.
“We are already more than halfway to meeting our 2020 target of 42 per cent, and remain on trajectory to achieve it. But there is no room for complacency – that is why we are determined to do even more and must do so given the threat climate change places on our wildlife, our economy and our society.
“It would have been very easy for this Parliament to have set targets that lacked ambition, and were straightforward to meet or indeed not to have set targets at all. Instead, we have set extremely challenging targets and we know robust and continued action is required to meet them. Scotland has shown a can do attitude and the ambition needed to play our part in averting more severe climate change. That is something of which the people of Scotland can be proud.
“Climate change is already proving to be damaging and we must act now to limit future damage. It is important that everyone realises that climate change is not a problem for other people or another time. As recent flooding incidents and the impact of severe weather on agricultural productivity have shown, climate change is affecting many people in Scotland now.
“A low carbon Scotland will be a better Scotland and there is no doubt that our action and the benefits – both economic and environmental – will be felt right across Scottish society, and will also make a key contribution to the global effort.”
The draft report will now be considered in Parliament for a 60-day period, and a final report will be published in the summer.

David Ince may have only managed to pass the RAF medical board at this third attempt, but this did not stop him from forging a highly successful aviation career. After flying Hurricanes and Mustangs at 41 OTU, he converted to Typhoons and flew with 193 and 257 Squadrons, from Normandy until the end of hostilities in Europe. He completed almost 150 sorties and was awarded an immediate DFC. He also took a leading part in trials, demonstrations and the early operational use of Napalm. In the closing stages of the war he was leading 193 Squadron on shipping strikes in the Baltic. Following the war, he attended a course at ETPS, was chairman of the Typhoon (Entente Cordiale) Trust, and was in the driving seat for its dynamic and growing relationship with the French in Normandy, the developing reconciliation between former foes and the new Typhoon squadrons of RAF Coningsby. “Brotherhood of the Skies” is an engaging study of leadership in action. The author is frank and outspoken about the courage, fear, team spirit and motivation that he and his comrades shared throughout the war. Laden with fresh information and perspectives, he explores elements of airpower that have been ignored in the past, pulling no punches in his analysis of army cooperation, fighter ground attack and reconnaissance – and the problems and achievements of operational training – against a wide background of personal experience and hard lessons learned. David Ince’s remarkable life in flight is atmospherically told and skilfully conveys the urgency and mood of the times, the fascinating people he encountered, and the obstacles he met along the way.
