England vs France Euro 2012 Live Blog
England vs France
Euro 2012
Group D
5pm BST
Day four of Euro 2012 arrives after the disappointment of Ireland's loss to Croatia in group C. At least England and France should put on a good show today. The favourites to make it out of the group, with Sweden and Ukraine likely to be knocked out, England and France are somewhat unpredictable.
England have the players to perform well, but often they fail to gel and with Roy Hodgson only having a short time to bring the team together and instill his philosophy, there may be mistakes. Rooney is out for this game and beyond him England lack a real goal threat, with Danny Welbeck and Andy Carroll largely unproven at this level.
France had a disastrous showing in the last World Cup, but you have to assume it won't happen again here. They too have some big talents, but doubts will always be there with France. They can be brilliant when they want, but lack the stereotypical 'bulldog' spirit that the English media will no doubt be re-iterating today.
England don't really have it either, mind.
England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Young, Welbeck.
Subs: Green, Walcott, Henderson, Carroll, Baines, Jones, Jagielka, Downing, Defoe, Butland.
France: France: Lloris, Debuchy, Rami, Mexes, Evra, Nasri, Cabaye, Diarra, Malouda, Ribery, Benzema.
Subs: Mandanda, Giroud, Matuidi, Reveillere, Menez, M'Vila, Martin, Ben Arfa, Valbuena, Clichy, Koscielny, Carrasso.
1 min.
England pass around in defense, controlling possession. They build on the right, but Welbeck is flagged for offside as the ball is passed forward.
2 min.
After a poor pass from Rami, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arsenal's emerging talent, steals the ball and rushes toward the left side of the French penalty area. He passes toward the middle but the ball is cut out.
4 min.
France now passing about in defense. They build up the left and Nasri plays Benzema through into the penalty area with a great chipped pass. Too many white shirts surround the Frenchman and it goes out for a corner.
5 min.
Roy Hodgson stands owl-like on the sidelines.
6 min.
Cole lightly tackles Nasri on the right in the English half. France win a free kick but it's easily defended.
8 min.
Poor passing from England up front gives France an opportunity to counter. Ribery picks up the ball in midfield but his first touch is poor. France do look like they could be dangerous on the break as England push forward.
9 min,
Oxlade-Chamberlain gives it away in the French half and France counter quickly. Ribery wins a corner after Glen Johnson blocks his cross.
The corner is cleared, but not after Joe Hart flaps at it and looks more than a little off his game as the ball slips through his fingers
10 min.
Nasri takes a shot from outside the penalty area, but sends it wide of the post to the left of goal.
13 min.
Ribery works his way down the right, slips past Parker, threading a pass to Cabaye but England win it back easily and quickly make their own counter attack.
14 min.
Ashley Young plays a wonderful through ball from the centre of the field to Milner, he takes it into the penalty area and rounds Lloris' left side, only to run it too far and only hit the side netting.
15 min.
France move forward with some swift passing until it reaches Cabaye who shoots from just outside the penalty area, but it's easily stoppped by Hart.
17 min.
Oxlade Chamberlain sends a through ball to Ashley Young who looks through on goal. The flag is up, offside against Young.
19 min.
Milner on the right, twists, turns, and hits a cross low into a French foot. That's not going to get them anywhere.
21 min.
Welbeck down with an injury, play stopped for a minute while he's treated.
He's able to walk off.
22 min.
Welbeck makes it back on as Parker passes forward to no-one.
24 min.
France putting pressure on now, but not looking too dangerous. England look solid defensively, pushing France out to the wings where their ineffective crosses aren't causing any problems.
25 min.
True to form, Debuchy thumps a cross in from the right which swings gently into the hands of Joe Hart.
26 min.
Nice bit of play from England, passing around the French half until Gerrard's pass into the area is cut out. Offside anyway.
27 min.
Ribery from the centre sends a ball out to Debuchy on the right. Cole defends well, again, and the ball ends up with Hart.
28 min.
This is a lot less entertaining than France's last big tournament. Not much going on since Milner bottled his chance.
29 min.
England with a free, Gerrard sends it in and
Lescott meets the ball right on the edge of the six-yard box. So much for nothing going on. Brilliant ball in by Gerrard, and a fantastic header from Lescott who sent it low into the goal, no chance for Lloris to save it.
England 1-0 France
31 min.
'A hoot for Hodgson' – surely a tabloid headline tomorrow if it ends 1-0.
With a picture of an owl, of course.
33 min.
France look a little out-of-sorts now. Lloris thumps a kick out straight out of play.
34 min.
Oxlade-Chamberlain cuts down Debuchy and picks up a yellow card.
35 min.
France rally from the free kick. Diarra leaps up and heads directly at Hart who saves well. It falls to Ribery on the right who heads it back in to Diaby, but he can't keep his header on target.
37 min.
France settling down now and controlling play, keeping the ball well. England clearing long and France pushing forward. Nasri getting a lot of the ball, he's playing quite well here.
38 min.
What a finish! Evra plays it to Ribery at the left side of the penalty area, who plays it back to Nasri. He fires it into the near corner, beating Hart who can't reach the shot. Brilliantly placed, and wonderfully worked in the build up. The anththesis of England's big kick and header, essentially.
England 1-1 France
41 min.
France moving forward again, Ribery winning a corner. Nasri plays it into the box but it's cleared by Parker to Evra, who plays it back out to Nasri on the left, back to Ribery. England win the ball back and lose it again.
42 min.
Again, England win it and lose it, France seem a far better team since that England goal, they've stepped up a gear and England are still coasting a little.
44 min.
France are working well down the left side, it may be time for a defender to replace Johnson at right back. Ball goes in to Cabaye who strikes at goal, but a deflection gives France a corner.
The corner leads up to a Benzema effort, but it's from too tight an angle to beat Hart.
45 min.
England are playing sloppily, losing the ball easily in midfield. Half-time should be a relief for them, they need to regroup.
England have spent the last 10 minutes being totally outclassed by France. They just don't have the same skill. England need to get back their focus, the French goal seemed to break their resolve. This is the test for Hodgson, if he can get the team back on track they have every chance to win, but at this point if France keep this pace up, they would be doing well to draw.
Upsides for England are that they should have scored through Milner, and France are susceptible to a through ball. Ashley Young could do with taking control of this game in the same way Nasri and Ribery have. Welbeck is a non-factor, and if set pieces are the way England are going to score, it should be Andy Carroll time quite soon.
Ad watch:
This Heineken ad with the bloke on the train is very irritating.
The sky ad that looks like a Lucozade ad is pretty poor on Sky's part, bad marketing, generic ideas.
The ad where they all take off their jerseys tells me nothing about what to respect. Each other? The swapping of jerseys? Bartering? What Uefa, what?
Shocked that the Dutch haven't blamed those Orange ads for their poor performance. It worked for Man United with the grey jerseys.
In other news, what exactly is the point of Liam Brady on RTE? Last night he responded to a question with "uhh, well, umm, ahh" before Dunphy rescued him.
45 min.
England look identical to the end of the first half, Parker gifting a ball to a French defender with a terrible forward pass.
46 min.
Ribery pokes Scott Parker in the eye. Everyone over-reacts. Except the ref. Good on him.
48 min.
England are playing an 8-1-1 formation for the second half.
49 min.
Finally England move forward. Oxlade-Chamberlain moves down the centre of the pitch. He plays it out to Milner who tries to cross and wins the corner.
Gerrard floats the ball in, Lloris makes an easy catch and France re-take control.
50 min.
Gerrard sends a long range free kick to Johnson on the right of the French penalty area. His touch is poor, but England at least look more positive now, pushing forward with a touch of confidence in their play and much tighter passing.
52 min.
Gerrard taking charge, making passes and runs. He's tripped at the edge of the box but the ref waves play on. Right call again.
53 min.
"At 1-1 anything is possible" according to RTE commentators there. Hoping Hulk Hogan runs on and slams someone so.
54 min.
France break down the left, ball is fired into the penalty area and put out for a corner.
Nasri tries the same again after the clearance, but puts it past everyone and it swings out for a goal kick.
55 min.
More owls have been requested by a reader, so here. Owls.
57 min.
Pace has slowed down dramatically now, but France are still in control.
59 min.
As if to illustrate this point, a French fan has fallen asleep.
60 min.
Ribery is down injured, England play on and win a corner. Replay shows Gerrard tripping him
He's up now, walking it off.
61 min.
England look dangerous from the corner, but can only win another corner, which is wasted, floating over everyone.
62 min.
MULTIBALL! Another ball IS ON THE PITCH.
Referee delays a goal kick to get rid of it.
63 min.
The crowd is almost totally silent except for the occasional whistle. Serious lack of atmosphere. Evra being whistled at loudly.
64 min.
Nasri plays Benzema into space outside the England penalty area. He winds up and takes a powerful shot. Well stopped by Hart.
65 min.
England push forward, poor passes but they retain the ball long enough for Johnson to move in from the right and shoot. He fires it skyward, totally mis-hit.
66 min.
Corner to France, Cole heads it out and Malouda moves to take it. He lofts it into the centre of the penalty area. Hart comes out of his goal to make an easy catch.
67 min.
Here's the sleepy Frenchman, via Balls.ie
69 min.
France going forward again, Malouda takes a shot from the edge of the area and Parker blocks. France putting a lot pressure on England now, just not able to break through for a decent chance. The fans are calling for shots as soon as they get anywhere near the penalty area.
70 min.
Ashley Young gets a yellow card for a foul in the centre of the pitch.
72 min.
Oxlade-Chamberlain goes on a run to nowhere and wins a free kick. Subs warming up now for England, Defoe coming on first.
73 min.
Benzema battles through the England defense, passes to Nasri, who feeds Benzema through into the penalty area. Johnson makes a fine intercepti0n on the ball to clear and stop a goalscoring opportunity.
74 min.
England break back, then France do the same, Ribery shooting from the right and Hart making the stop.
75 min.
The pace is picking up here but as England make it to the French half Milner goes down and stays down.
France play on until Malouda gets the ball and walks with it, unsure of whether he should put it out or not until the referee stops play.
76 min.
Milner is being treated as Defoe replaces Oxlade-Chamberlain
Parker comes off to be replaced by Henderson.
Milner has made it to the sidelines and looks like he will return.
77 min.
Milner now back on the pitch.
78 min.
Ribery picks up the ball on the left, runs toward the corner followed by Johnson. Johnson lightly taps him with his arm and Ribery goes down for a quick whinge to win a free kick.
79 min.
Nasri floats in the free, which is cleared as far as Cabaye, who shoots from distance and sends it wide.
France win a corner from the opposite side and it ends up with Cabaye again, who tries another shot and wins another corner as it goes wide.
80 min.
Finally, this corner is caught by Hart.
82 min.
Tabloid Headline Update: "J'accuse Roy" – Selection and tactics cost England the win.
Defoe looks lively, but lacks support.
83 min.
Two subs for France, Cabaye off for Newcastle Teammate Ben Arfa and Malouda replaced by Martin.
84 min.
Benzema tries a curling shot from the left corner of the England penalty area. Gerrard heads it away to save what surely would have been a goal.
85 min.
Bus firmly parked by England at this stage. France deserve a goal on this performance, total dominance since late in the first half.
For a striker, Welbeck seems far better at winning the ball than holding it up.
88 min.
Defoe plays it wide to Milner on the right, who plays in a low cross. Welbeck and Mexes both chase it and Mexes slides in to clear it for a corner.
89 min.
The corner is easily defended, Ben Arfa thumping it upfield.
90 min.
Walcott on.
91 min.
France are pushing forward, looking for the winner. England defending well to keep them well away from the goal as whistles from the crowd start.
92 min.
Benzema tries one from way out and Hart stops it.
93 min.
That's it, final whistle, a good result for England, who do not look a quality side.
England 1-1 France
France deserved the win, but if they can't break teams down they'll struggle in this tournament. England need Rooney back, clearly, if they intend to create any real chances.
That's it from me, I'll be blogging some more games as the tournament goes on so keep an eye on the blog.

"We have another exchange happening right now," Randy Zimmerly, Superintendent of Westview School Corporation in Indiana, said to a group recently at a conference in Florida. "My community is exchanging their thoughts with one another in a way that has never been possible before. I have an Amish community with children attending public school alongside students from non-Amish families. These communities historically don't interact often, but when we lead an exchange using Thoughtexchange, they all get to consider the thoughts of one another and learn different points of view, which brings my whole community together."
Randy has been working with Thoughtexchange for a few years now to lead challenging conversations about school improvement, changes to the schedules and needs for the future. I love hearing about his successes (and hearing about his family and new grand-baby on the way) when we get a chance to connect. But this conversation with Randy was a bit different. I'll explain why.
All of our customers and even our staff struggle with one thing: Thoughtexchange is a fifteen-character, three-syllable word that describes what we do, but doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
So some call it a "Process" but that's pretty heavy and formal and sounds complicated. Not a great fit. Some people call it a "Survey," but surveys are something entirely different that are not about people learning from one another. And that word actually means an examination, inspection or quite literally to oversee people. Yuck.
Some call it a "Tep" (Thoughtexchange process). It's short and informal and works well for some people some of the time – but not so well for others who are trying to invite people into a deeper conversation.
And here is Randy calling it an "exchange" in every sentence. And he is crystal clear why he uses that word. It's about the exchange, not about the information that is gathered. It's the intention, the method, the way you work with results. All of it is an exchange. And what is an exchange? The act of giving something and receiving another. Pretty good.
So here is my proposal:
Let's try it. Let's see if we can make it catch on. I've been practicing a bit and I have to say I like it a lot: lead an exchange, participate in an exchange, understand the value of the exchange, design questions that are ideal for a genuine exchange.
Exchange is eight characters and gets to the heart of the issue. And I'd be proud of the fact that Randy gave birth to this name in the same month he became a grandfather.

Article content
Researchers are hoping to find what makes breast cancer therapy effective for some women and not others.
Ing Swie Goping's team at the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry has researched published in Oncogene that found the stronger the tumour, the better the chemo worked.
The study looked at Taxane drugs, used to prevent cells from dividing in patients whose tumours have progressed to the nodes.
The drugs have been used since 1991 for breast, lung and ovarian cancers.
Clinically, 50 to 70% of women will relapse after treatment from the drug, she said.
"We're hoping to identify a marker that we could use as a test, a clinical test to help physicians make treatment decisions for the patient," Goping said.
Now, patients are prescribed generally, even if it's nothing more than a toxin.
Once the marker is found it can separate patients who would benefit from Taxane drugs, or if they are better suited to other therapies. It will speed up their therapy as well, Goping said.
The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation said the research is a piece of the puzzle.
Tracy Sopkow, vice president of marketing and communications for the foundation, said all the advancements are going towards a world without breast cancer.
"Patient diagnostics and treatment options now and into the future can be better in Canadian women who are being affected by the disease don't have to face the threat of death every time they hear a breast cancer diagnosis," Sopkow said. "There's a more positive outlook for those women and future generations to come."

Ismaili History 839 - Titles and Honour
None equals the selfless and valuable services of the Aga Khan IV in the world, which can be gauged from the face of the facts that he has been invested many titles to appreciate his illustrious services. The Queen of England has awarded him the title of His Highness on July 26, 1957. On August 12, 1957, the Sultan of Zanzibar invested the title of Brilliant Star of Zanzibar. During his visit to Iran for ten days, the king of Iran awarded him the title of His Royal Highness on October 24, 1959. He visited Goa for the first time, where the Portuguese government conferred the title of Grand Cross of the Order of Prince Henry on October 27, 1960. The President of Ivory Coast decorated the Aga Khan with the title of Grand Cross of the National Order on August 4, 1965. On his way to Europe, the Aga Khan alighted at Ugadaught, the capital of Upper Volta in West Africa, when the President awarded him title of National Order on August 5, 1965. He arrived in Tananarive, the capital of Malagasy, where the President awarded him the title of Grand Cross of the National Order of Malagache Republic on November 15, 1966. The President of Comore Island, Sayed Muhammad Shaikh awarded the Aga Khan the title of Grand Cross of the Green Crescent on November 20, 1966. It was his first visit to Pakistan with his wife when the President of Pakistan granted the title of Nishan-e-Imtiaz on January 15, 1970. The Prime Minister of Italy, Guilio Andreotti had personally received the Aga Khan on December 8, 1977 at the Palazzo Chigi, and awarded Italy's highest national award, namely Order of the Knight of the Grand Cross in recognition of his role in the development of Sardina's economy. The Aga Khan was also honoured the title of Gran Croce Della Republica Italiana by the government of Italy in 1978. His Majesty King Hasan II of Morocco conferred the grand cordon of Ouissam al-Arch, the highest Moroccon honour upon the Aga Khan on November 26, 1986 at Rabat at a dinner hosted to him at the royal palace. Dignitaries like His Royal Highness Prince Bender bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, the Prime Minister of Morocco, Azeddina Laraki etc. were also present in the ceremony. On October 26, 1988, the Italy's President Francesco Cossiga invested the Imam the title of The Order of the Cavaliere del Lavoro at Rome, and he was the first Muslim to be so honoured in Italy. On November 7, 1990, the French President Francois Mitterand, awarded the Aga Khan at Paris, the highest national honour of Commander of the Legion d'Honneur, established by Nepoleon Bonaparte in 1802.
The World Monuments Fund recently honoured the Aga Khan IV with its prestigious Hadrian Award for his vigorous and fruitful efforts to preserve and revitalise historic cities in Islamic world on October 28, 1996 at New York.
The Aga Khan IV, the present 49th Hazar Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims has been responsible not only for guiding a progressive community of Shia Ismaili Muslims scattered all over the world, but he has also managed a vast complex of administrative, social, economical and cultural enterprises in the world today. In 1976, he moved his headquarters from Switzerland to Aiglemont, Gouvieux, near Paris.
The Aga Khan married Lady James Crichton-Stuart, nee Sarah Crocker-Poole; known as Begum Salima in Paris on October 28, 1969. The Aga Khan's first child, Princess Zahra was born on September 18, 1970. The second child, Prince Rahim was born on October 12, 1971 and the third son, Prince Husayn was born on April 10, 1974.
The separation of the Aga Khan with his wife, Begum Salima through a divorce took place at the end of 1994. The Aga Khan asked his lawyers in this context to start divorce proceeding against his wife on September 30, 1994. The divorce was officially pronounced on March 23, 1995 by a Swiss court.
On May 26, 1996, the Aga Khan IV was specially invited to address at Brown University, where he delivered the baccalaureate address to the Class in the Meeting Home of the First Baptist in United States, near the Brown University Campus. Hence, the Aga Khan was the first Muslim ever to give the Baccalaureate address at a Brown commencement in the school's illustrious 232-years history. In his speech, Mr. Vartan Gregorian, President of Brown University, said that the Aga Khan embodied the ecumenical spirit that links the three great monotheistic religion: Islam, Christianity and Judaism. He went on to say that as a major activist for civilized humanity and universal values, the Aga Khan's leadership has brought about flourishing systems for welfare, learning, housing and culture. Equally vital are his faith in education and his ability to tap the resources of European, Asian and American institutions of higher learning to enhance the well-being of human kind. 'To see how well these enlightened actions succeeded, you need only visit the Aga Khan University and the Aga Khan Hospital in Karachi, where people of different faiths, races and classes receive the same high quality education and care - for that University and that Hospital are the best in the region.'
In his Baccalaureate address, the Aga Khan sought to correct the misperceptions about Islam and its followers which exist in the collective consciousness of most Western cultures. He stressed the great need for increase mutual understanding between the Islamic World and the West. He said that such understanding is more essential today because the Muslim World is one of the only two potential geo-political forces, vis-a-vis the West, on the world stage: the other being the East Asian Tigers, and also because in the wake of the Cold War, violence and cruelty are becoming rampant around the world. The Aga Khan also said that 'violence is not a function of faith' but rather an effect of demographic economic and political problems in the Muslim World leading to civil unrest and discontent. The Aga Khan further said that 'universities in the West' can help 'build a bridge across the gulf of knowledge which separates the Islamic World from the West.' This bridge, he said could be built upon a common Abrahamic monotheistic tradition and common ethical principles, founded on shared human values. It could help to adapt proven Western method of development to the specific contexts of Islamic countries.
On May 27, 1996, Brown University of Providence, Rhode Island, USA conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws upon the Aga Khan for 'service to Islam and all human kind.
In Hunza, the northern area of Pakistan, the Baltit Fort Project, a 800-year old landmark of Islamic architecture has been brought back to its former splendid by the Historic Cities Support Programme (HCSP) of The Aga Khan Trust for Culture. The Fort is restored at a total cost of $. 2.15 million by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. Getty Grant Programme and the Norwegian bilatered aid programme, NORAD, committed $. 200,000 and $. 450,000 respectively to the restoration project. The restoration work was completed in about five years. Accordingly, an inauguration ceremony of Baltit Fort took place in presence of President Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari of Pakistan and the Aga Khan in presence of 350 guests and delegates from all over the world. In his speech, the Aga Khan said, 'As the prime historic landmark of Hunza, the fort is a major tourist attraction and a potential source of income for the local community. It can, therefore, be expected that the restoration project itself will act as a dynamic factor of change.'
On October 17, 1996, the Aga Khan delivered a keynote address in The Commonwealth Press Union Conference at Cape Town, South Africa. Other speakers at the Conference included South Africa's Executive Deputy President Thabo Mbeki, former President and Leader of the National Party, F.W. De Klerk, and Britain's Leader of the Opposition, Tony Blair.
Being the founder and principal shareholder of Nation Printers and Publishers in Kenya, East Africa's leading publishing group, the Aga Khan said in his address that, 'The media can help prevent cultureal conflicts arising out of the communication revolution of 21st century.' He spoke of a spirit of 'creative encounter' that the media would need to engender if 'the growing demand for cultural integrity was to be reconciled with the dazzling rise of the global village.' Explaining to an audience of 300 representatives of the media from some 40 countries of the Commonwealth that the communications revolution was 'a two-edged sword, opening doors to the future, but also threatening cultures and traditional values.'
Recently, The World Monuments Fund honoured the Aga Khan IV with its prestigious Hadrian Award for his vigorous and fruitful efforts to preserve and revitalize historic cities in the Islamic world on October 28, 1996 at New York. In his keynote speech at the presentation ceremony, Cyrus Vance, a former US Secretary of State spoke of the Aga Khan's commitment to 'the preservation and renewal of societies,' noting that 'the Aga Khan has laboured through out his career....to bridge divisions between the Muslim world and other communities, reminding us that we cannot regard Islamic society as separate from the larger community of nations.' It was an endeavour which, he said 'is especially vital today, as we face conflicts between nations and cultures.' Acknowledging the honour, the Aga Khan expressed the hope that his 'efforts for cultural rehabilitation in Islamic societies through architecture will, due to the very diversity of their world address such a wide spectrum of issues, covering such a large number of peoples and places that the lessons learned will in many cases be both universal and replicable for other societies and their inherited cultures.'
It must be known that the previous recipients of the Hadrian Award include Prince Charles, David Rockefeller, Dominique de Menil, Paul Mellon, and Marella and Giovanni Agnelli. The Aga Khan is the first Muslim leader ever to receive the Hadrian Award.
'Currently' writes Sami G. Hajjar and Steven J. Brezezinski in 'The Nizari Ismaili Imam and Plato's Philosopher King' (cf. 'Islamic Studies', vol. XVI, 1977, p. 304) that, 'The sect is led by Prince Imam Karim Aga Khan IV, the 49th Imam of the sect. He is descendant of Nizar, the eldest son of the Fatimid Caliph-Imam al-Mustansir Billah, who himself descends from al-Husayn, the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad.'
The Ismailis are spread almost in every corner of the world at present under the spiritual leadership of the Aga Khan. Most of the Ismailis live in their countries with their old traditions. About four distinct traditions are prevalent in the world Ismailis. In Syria, the Fatimid tradition is practised. In Central Asia, the tradition of Nasir Khusaro is in operation. The Khoja Ismailis adhered to the tradition of the Indian pirs, and the Ismailis of Iran mostly attached to the Alamut tradition. Above all, the fundamental principle of these Ismailis is to recognize the Imam of the Age. During his first visit to Moscow, the Aga Khan said to his followers on January 29, 1995 that:- 'First, let me remind you, that for all murids of the Imam, whether they are from Central Asia, from India, from Pakistan, from the Western World, the fundamental principle is the recognition of the Imam of the Time. It is he who interprets the faith. It is he who guides the jamat in the interpretation of its faith at any time during its lifetime. It is he who supports the jamats in various parts of the world, to seek , with the jamat and others, to improve the quality of life of the murids wherever they may be.'
In sum, the fundamental principle of the Ismaili Muslims is that the Imamate must be handed down in perpetuity in direct lineal descent, which has been maintained uninterruptedly for fourteen centuries, ever since Hazrat Ali, who succeeded to the Imamate. His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV is recognised as the 49th Imam in a lineal descendant of Hazrat Ali through Bibi Fatima.
Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan had once said, 'The future of the Ismaili faith rests in the hands of the youths of your age and mine. Are we to follow the example of those, who in Egypt, Iran and Sind raised the flag of Ismaili Imams high enough for the world to see its glory? I say, 'yes.' We should not fail where our ancestors achieved glorious success' (vide 'Ilm', London, vol. 8, nos. 2-3, Dec., 1982, p. 11).
We shall say while terminating these pages with a conclusion, that a full account of Aga Khan IV's activities, including a detailed description of his various projects for the Shia Ismaili Muslim communities of different countries, still needs to be written.

What Are The Benefit Of VoIP Systems?
The VoIP is the new and latest way of making calls. Usually most of the calls in the current VoIP are made over the internet. This type of the mechanism for making calls have many advantages over the traditional phone calls system. The first advantage that the VoIP offers is the saving of money, the making of calls is very much cost effective over the internet. In the previous days, making calls were very much expensive and even now a day's international calls by the public telephone networks are very much costly. But over the internet using video conference solutions Sydney, it is very much inexpensive, you can make calls of long durations anytime at the cost of just your internet broadband. You need nothing extra to pay for every call you made but all of these calls are covered under the bill of your broadband.
Another very advantage of the VoIP solutions is the feature of the portability. The landline telephones provided by the traditional public telecommunications do not provide you this feature. But with VoIP solutions, you can be connected to the network no matter where you are or where you go. The moment you have internet connection you can make a call from your device and can be connected to almost all around the world.
There are VoIP adapters available now a day which can convert your traditional phones in VoIP enabled. These adapters are available in the form of the stick or sometimes as a USB that you can connect to either your laptop of to your phone. The function of this device is to sense the signals which are emitted by your traditional phone and then after capturing signals these are converted in to the digital signals used by VoIP solutions Sydney. After conversions these are sent over the internet. Some VoIP solutions assign their users a VoIP number which can be used to send or receive calls anywhere from the world. These are accessible as long as you are connected to a stable internet connection.
Not only the VoIP solutions are used for making point to point connection between two users but these can also be used for the video conference. The video conference allows calling multiple people at the same time. This is the very desired feature of the VoIP because with this feature you can be in touch with your employees and workers no matter where they are or no matter where you are.

Hemorrhoids Relief Quick And Painlessly Simple
Although people do not like discussing it, chances are that people you know have suffered from hemorrhoids at some point. This article will give you several tips which can help you with treating or preventing hemorrhoids, both the internal and external types. Straining during bowel movements is the number one cause of hemorrhoids, and it also worsens existing ones. To make it easier to pass stool, add more fiber to your diet. When this isn't effective, attempt increasing your feet with a footstool while using the toilet. Elevating your knees moves you into a squatting position, making the passing of stool easier.
- Good hydration is important for anyone who seems to be prone to hemorrhoids.
- Proper hydration contributes to softer barstools that are easier to pass.
- To be able to increase your hydration accomplishment, avoid dehydrating beverages, such as those containing caffeine or even alcohol.
- Go around the block a few times prior to going to the bathroom if you think you are constipated.
- Walking gets you moving and helps you go to the bathroom.
- Doing so can help avoid straining that will cause hemorrhoids to become a lot more irritated and painful.
- A 15 minute walk at a brisk pace will do the trick.
- You can cut back the swelling and pain hemorrhoids cause by consuming grape seed oil.
- The result of this is a natural obliteration of vein infections and a cessation of hemorrhoidal bleeding.
Tomato Slices can Visibly Reduce Your Hemorrhoids
Since the juice of tomatoes is fairly acidic, applying a slice directly to hemorrhoid puffiness can restore skin Ph, which will soothe the area and reduce inflammation. When you utilize this method in conjunction to a healthy diet, you can keep hemorrhoids away for a long time. Avoid foods that induce constipation or fuel to reduce the pressure on your hemorrhoids. The stress on the rectum that occurs when gas is passed could inflame your hemorrhoids. Because these foods which cause gas will cause you a lot more pain, you need to avoid eating them. Getting enough caffeine not only keeps you awake longer and easier, it can also help out with your hemorrhoids. Caffeine efficiently stimulates your bowels, preventing constipation and also tough stools, both of which contribute to hemorrhoid growth.
Is Possible in Order to Push Distended Hemorrhoids Back Into the Anus
This treatment should never be attempted with hemorrhoids that are serious. It may not be pleasant, but if completed gently, it may be successful. When inside the cavity, the hemorrhoid isn't as easily damaged and is less likely to bleed. Try squatting to create a bowel movement you will have an easier time and also avoid the flare ups that come along with hemorrhoids. This position might seem unnatural when you first try it, but you are going to quickly get used to both the position and the fact that your hemorrhoids aren't since inflamed as they used to be. Now that you have some insight on what to do about hemorrhoids, you can hopefully form some strategies for accomplishment that can help you alleviate your problem. Usually search for additional facts in order to complement the existing knowledge in order to increase your chances for ultimate relief.

In the heart of the country, Ben McLemore and Victor Oladipo have been making their presence known. Down south, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been fighting to be included in the upper echelon of shooting guards in the 2013 Draft class. And out west, Allen Crabbe has quietly put together a very well rounded resume that could either help him sneak into the first round, or fall out of everyone's mind completely. Yet with numbers like 18.6 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.6 apg, and a third-round appearance in this year's NCAA Tournament against Continue reading

NBA Draft Prospect Profile: Michael Carter-Williams
Having a well-rounded, 6'6″ point guard could really help any team, and that's exactly what Syracuse point man Michael Carter-Williams is bringing to the table. Utilizing his game that consists of a nice combination of tempo control, passing, handles, leadership, and intellect, MCW is a tempting option looking forward to draft day. The only problem is, many of the teams with top picks already have their point guard position filled with names like Continue reading
Boston's Newest Big Three
This new Boston Three Party may seem to be a bit out of place. In all fairness, two-thirds of the group most recently played in New York, and mentioning sports teams from New York and Boston in the same sentence is a cause for concern.
Yet none of these gentlemen and former New Yorkers have ever called Madison Square Garden home, and they certainly haven't bored us to death by saying "Hello" all summer either. Rather, this new trio is comprised of three new rookie Celtics: No. 21 overall pick Jared Sullinger, No. 51 overall pick Kris Joseph, and super-rookie Dionte Christmas, who signed with the Celtics this summer.
With this combination of former 'Cuse standouts and one stellar former Ohio State Buckeye, the Celtics have plenty of incoming talent, and should be excited about what the future holds for the organization. Even more exciting were the slew of tweets sent by the three new Beantown Ballers this afternoon:
If this is any indication of how these three will act as professionals in the future, than the Celtics have nothing to worry about. These young adults took their time to help read to the youth of Boston, and spend some time with them on a good, old-fashioned Duck Tour boat in Boston's Back Bay. Now if they can get No. 23 overall pick Fab Melo to join them the next time out, we may be looking at our early front runners for the season's first recipient(s) of the Kia Community Assist Award.

MetadataShow full item record
Aim The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of puppy morbidity and mortality in breeding kennels in Nairobi. Materials and methods A total of 35 kennels with 556 puppies were selected at random and a questionnaire administered. The study was carried out between 1st October 2013 and 31st March 2014. Faecal samples were taken to determine the levels of infestation to determine whether there was association with puppy morbidity and mortality. Results Among all kennels studied, puppy morbidity was noted to be at an average rate of 34.7% (193/556) while puppy mortality was 21.2% (118/556). The majority of the kennels, 57% (20/35), had puppy deaths with 3% (1/35) of the kennels experiencing puppy mortality in every other litter. There were puppy deaths in 34% (12/35) of the kennels but the puppy mortality was rare while 6% (2/35) reported no puppy mortality. Puppy morbidity was reported in 37.1% (13/35) of the kennels in every litter, 25.7% (9/35) had puppy morbidity in every other litter, 31.4% (11/35) rarely had puppy morbidity, whilst only 5.7% (2/35) reported no morbidity. Conclusion It is noted that puppy morbidity and mortality is prevalent in Nairobi (Kenya) at 34.7% and 21.2% respectively. There was no association between the age of the puppy and puppy mortality (p < 0.140) but there was positive association between the age of the puppy and puppy morbidity (p < 0.003).

Life has a way of changing you.
January 13, 2013
inally, it is here. I could get my Downton Abbey Season 3 fix. If you are one those who follow this TV drama in PBS you know the feeling. It is unfair that First Lady Michele Obama got to see the whole season ahead, oh well.
I don't watch too much TV but I make an exception to Downton Abbey; besides it is commercial-free in PBS, which is home to Big Bird…if you know what I mean. (Note: For my international friend, during the debate on tax cuts, the Republicans threaten to cut funding to PBS, home of Sesame Street: Big Bird and his friends. Don't touch Big Bird was the cry). The TV drama series has a huge following here in the US.
I am a history buff and this was set during the Eduardian and post-Eduardian era. It follows the lives of the aristocratic lives of the Crawley family. The one thing that held my interest in this TV drama is the crisp, subtle and meaningful dialogue; and the intriguing character. So when the butler Mr. Carson said in one of the episodes (in monotoned English clip):
"Life has a way of changing you." It hit me.
Life has force me to changed. I, at times, would look back at my long journey and compare my life before cancer and my present one. I have definitely change for the better inspite of the things I have given up, like red meat. You have to change to get better and find out more about yourself. Sometimes you have to fears in order to improve or get the most out of life. It is like jumping out of an airplane to face your fear of height, right?
My fear is my mortality. I get tested with it every other week during chemo, which I cannot get use to. However, when you look at the long road I have taken since March 2008, I have survived them all. I have made so many friends along the way. I have discovered myself and I think you have too with the stories I tell. I am glad that I have changed because I am able to appreciate life more fully now.
I have another milestone coming: re-staging my cancer. This Thursday, January 17, I will have my CT scan to verify if I am responding to my current treatment using the new chemo drug, Zaltrap. Oh yes, I have done many scans before and I also have received good news and bad news from the results This time, I am hoping for good news that my nodules are gone or at least have shrunk. What can I say, except thanks for your support and prayers. Will let you know. Onward with my real-life drama.
P.S. NYC marathon have opened up the registration for 2013 for those who were not able to run the canceled 2012 marathon. I will decide if I will run 2013 after my scan results.

Multi-Generational Leadership: Enhancing Performance with 5 Generations

Aquatic Invasive Species in Nevada
Nevada's aquatic invasive species, such as quagga mussels pose a risk to the native aquatic wildlife, ecosystems and to all of Nevada's water-based recreation!
Quagga mussels are a non-native species that have been discovered in the Colorado River system and in Lake Mead. They collect in industrial and municipal water pipes, eventually blocking them and costing the state millions of dollars to treat and clear. Unfortunately, they spread easily from one body of water to the next, which is why boaters must actively prevent the spread of this AIS.
Nevada requires boaters (both motorized and human-powered) to purchase an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) decal from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), prior to boat operation on Nevada waterways. These decals generate funds that go directly into Nevada's AIS mitigation and preventative programs. This includes all motorized boats (from in-and-out of state) and all human-powered craft (i.e. canoes, kayaks and rowboats). Exemptions include: Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUPs), float tubes and other watercraft that will not retain water, and also kayaks that are self-bailing (with no internal storage compartments that will retain water).
To obtain your Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) decal:
- Visit the NDOW in person
- Call the NDOW at 866-703-4605
- Or, buy the decal online at ndowlicensing.com
AIS decal cost:
Motorized Boats:
- $10 (residents)
- $20 (non-residents)
Human-powered Vessels
- $5 (residents)
- $10 (non-residents)
Visit ndow.org/boat/aisdecal for more information about AIS decal requirements and exemptions.

Students looking for a northeastern-feel university with milder weather, and who have the credentials to be thinking about the Ivies, ought to look towards Duke University in Durham, NC.
Just minutes away from a truly southern university, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke is its historic rival in sports, among many other things. Duke has a very different feel from "Carolina," though. License plates on campus on a cursory census are often from New York and New Jersey, as well as from some scattered other states— many north of the Mason Dixon Line. Duke is smaller than UNC, but is situated on a spacious 8,300 acres of forested, hilly land. Bring your bike or jump on one of the many large campus buses that trawl the campus and its environs: walking wont get it done! While Chapel Hill is the quintessential college town with shops, bars, and restaurants lining Franklin Street at the front side of the campus, Duke is on the edge of Durham, a southern city with its roots in tobacco production.
Graduates students outnumber undergraduates, and a strong engineering department draws many students to Duke. The prestigious Duke Medical Center affords strong trickle down to undergrads in biochem and other life science-focused majors.
Duke offers a serious education in a spectacular setting. Spectacular collegiate gothic buildings surround vast quadrangles. It rarely snows. Sound like your kind of college?

Lincoln Phillips, Instructional Designer
I have to say, of all of the recruiters I've spoken with over my career, Suzanne at Talent Group has been absolutely the most professional and 'on top of it' in the industry. I do not hesitate to say her top qualities are great results, expertise and high integrity. She is very organized and prompt and provided me with many useful tips on interviewing. I don't think I would have gotten my new role without her. Suzanne is not the average recruiter. Her dedication in making sure that everything goes well during all steps of the process is commendable, she communicates often with the parties involved, provides relevant information, and makes sure every step of the process is smooth and efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending her services and I will certainly call on her again if the need arises.

Far too many people—even Christian believers—are living with too little of God's provision. Why? For the simple reason that they've never discovered the blessing of fellowship with Him and His care for them.
What about you? Do you know in the depths of your heart just how extraordinarily good God is? Do you know all the good things He wants to do for you? You can, if you will spend time with Him.
Because of His great love for you, you can receive salvation and so much more—healing, deliverance, peace and every other blessing God has promised you in His Word.
But it's up to you to receive these blessings, and the first step to receiving is to discover and embrace God's true nature of goodness and kindness—not a nature of anger and condemnation—toward you.
Are you ready to experience God's extraordinary goodness? He is ready to dramatically change and enhance every area of your life right now!

Goldwell Brand Ambassador Lisa Whiteman's stunning new London salon is the cumulation of over three decades of hairdressing experience. Lisa has created a cool, chilled environment, which serves as a global landing point for the guests that travel from across the UK and around the world to benefit from her extensive expertise.
Every element within the salon has been meticulously designed to enhance the customer experience: The fun, friendly, dedicated team at this Goldwell Ambassador salon also offer all clients a personalised colour plan based on their individual colour story throughout the year. This includes an outline of the price structure, plus the products they recommend to keep their hue in optimum condition in between salon visits.
"I'm thrilled to have opened the doors of WHITEMAN.soho. It was a race against time to bring my vision to life as we had just three weeks to complete the works, but the results are well worth it," comments Lisa. "I fell in love with the location when I stumbled upon the Ham Yard Village two years ago on my way to a Goldwell meeting. Once the unit became available I was so excited that I could be part of the space that I created a detailed moodboard to present to the hotel management team to demonstrate how well the partnership would work for us both.
"Whether they're working on their laptop whilst their colour is developing, visiting us during their travels, or on their way to/from shopping in the West End, I wanted to create a welcoming haven where clients could come and relax, enjoy an amazing hairdressing experience, then leave the salon feeling recharged and looking fantastic. Based on the feedback we've received, we're definitely achieving that. We're not resting on our laurels though as there's still lots to strive for!"

Hello! I'm Ouma!
I've been voice acting since for about 6 years now, and It's turned into such a loving hobby of mine.
I started out voice acting in lots fanime's and other original animation series, Just the thought of being someones canonical voice for a character is sooo aspiring!
I think I voice childish/rude younger males best!
But I try my best to please whatever the client would like me to go for.
||Contact Details||
I'm available through Discord and email!
Sorry, Skype is an unavailable option for me.
I've never done any live directing (I'n call while recording), and I'm a shy about it.
But I don't mind being given feedback or direction and doing more retakes!
Don't be shy to message me about any missing lines/deadlines.
I'm usually quick to let a director know when I will be needing more time!
I hope we can work well together !
Currently trying to figure this out!

How To Locate Great And Affordable Hair Salon And Get Moving
It is the longest ever government shutdown, and the President hasnt stop demanding more and more for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. And yes, there are great reasons that make every Democrat see that approving $5 billion is a great mistake.
Come to think how we are all limited to do the things that we used to do because we do not have our wages. And especially if you are employed by the US government. You also, need to note that the ramifications have spread its wings to the private sectors as well. And Trump is adamant; he says he will not even consider declaring the national emergency even if the White House has the groundwork for such precedence.
Americans are feeling this the effects of the shutdown are just painful.
However, there are great prospects to maintain basic living standards, and this requires you to make informed decisions on your finances. Cut on unnecessary expenses. Luxury isnt the thing for the day.
One of your first assignment is to locate an experienced and converting hairstylist that is sensitive about your present plight. You would want to ensure that you remain great even with the tough financial circumstances that you are in. Your looks matter the most. Find a great hair salon and get the best services that you deserve.
Affordable hair salons are available in plenty out there; you shouldnt find it tricky to locate one that will meet your expectations in the right way. Nonetheless, not all the hair salon that are out there are ready and up to offer you the best services that you need. That is why you need to see to it that you research well before you are ready to make your final decision. You want to ensure that you are seeking great hairstyles from a hair salon that will look at your needs and consider offering you what you deserve. Here are crucial concepts that should help you make the sound decisions when selecting your hair stylist.
To begin with; you need to see to it that you ask your hairstylist to offer you a detailed quotation before you are ready to make any move. Be sure to examine it and think thoroughly if it is going to damage your bank accounts. Be certain to look through and consider if there are hidden charges. If there are, make sure you know their significance. The idea is to remove anything that is not going to add value to your needs. Ask them to remove the hidden charges.
But that is not to say that you are foregoing quality for expenses you need to ensure that you are getting state-of-the-art hairstyles.

Waiting on Wednesday was a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, so that bloggers can feature upcoming realases that they cannot wait to get their hands one.
It's about a servant girl named Tess in 1912, who wants to escape from the house where she works, and most particularly the lecherous young lord of the manor. But that's not her biggest problem. While on a voyage to America, where she plans to escape and start a new life, she meets Alec, who's ruggedly handsome, fabulously wealthy, intelligent and yet so clearly troubled that she'd rather not fall for him, but she does. That also is not her biggest problem. Alec, it turns out, is a werewolf ... one cursed to change every night, unless and until he surrenders his independence and joins the Brotherhood, a pack of violently misogynistic werewolves who have been tracking him for months. You'd think that would be their biggest problem, wouldn't you?
But no. Their biggest problem -- though they don't know it yet -- is that they're aboard the RMS Titanic.
It's werewolves on the Titanic.
Let me say that again.
It's WEREWOLVES on the TITANIC.
My life has reached its pinnacle.
That is all.

Gervonta 'Tank' Davis looking good training for Abner Mares fight
By Chris Williams: Gervonta 'Tank' Davis (20-0, 19 KOs) looks like he means business in preparing for his fight against former 3 division world champion Abner Mares (31-3-1, 15 KOs) on February 9 on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing at the Dignity Health Sports Park, in Carson, California.
Davis is going to be fighting three times in 2019, starting with his title defense against Mares. Davis is expected to move up to lightweight this year, and go after Vasyl Lomachenko, if Top Rank let's him fight him. Adding Lomachenko's name to his resume will shoot Davis to the top of the sport. Lomachenko is rated #1 pound-for-pound, but that could change overnight after he faces Tank Davis.
Mares, 33, is a very good fighter, but he's running into a runaway freight train right now in 24-year-old Tank Davis, and there's not stopping him with the way he's been looking. Even Vasyl Lomachenko might be little more than a speed bump for Gervonta with the way he's fighting.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who recently compared Lomachenko to Muhammad Ali, would do well to keep him away from Gervonta right now. It's one thing bragging about your fighter by lumping him in the same category as Ali, and it's another thing actually matching him against the best to have him prove it. Ali walked his talk during his career. Lomachenko might not want to try the same if it means mixing it with Gervonta.
There's a month to go before Davis faces Mares, and he's already looking in great shape for the fight. Mares is going to need to come up with some kind of plan that help minimize the punching power of Davis, because he could end up like Jesus Cuellar if he can't stop him. Davis didn't even take notice of Cuellar's efforts to slow him. He walked right through Cuellar, dropping him three times in the process of knocking him out in round three. There were some boxing fans that believed that Cuellar would give Gervonta a good fight. Boy were they wrong!
"In 2019, I want to make a big statement not only in the ring but by letting the boxing world know that I'm the next star." Gervonta said. "I'm aiming to headline a pay-per-view by 2020 if everything goes right. I have great fights lined up for next year, without looking past Abner."
Davis has got to make sure he doesn't miss weight for the fight. Davis missing weight will give Mares an excuse if he loses. Mares has already got an excuse that he can use if he gets beaten by pointing out that he was moving up to super featherweight from the 126 pound division to take the fight. But if Davis fails to make the 130 lb weight limit for the fight, it will give Mares' supporters an excuse for when/if things don't work out well for him.
Gervonta, who comes from Baltimore, Maryland, wanted to make sure that he took the fight with Mares where he lives in Southern California, and that's why the fight is taking place in Carson, California rather than Las Vegas, Nevada or another location.
"I wanted to fight Abner Mares out here in Southern California. Floyd Mayweather fought Arturo Gatti in his hometown and that's basically what I'm doing here," Davis said.
If everything goes as Gervonta plans in 2019, he'll be on his way to moving over to pay-per-view in 2020. Things can move that quickly with Gervonta's career if he can dismantle Lomachenko, and beat Mikey Garcia as well. Beating Lomachenko and Garcia would take Gervonta to the top. It's too bad Terence Crawford moved up to welterweight. A fight between him and Tank would be an excellent one at a catch-weight of 137 or 138.

What is this thing called love?
That's a question art has been wrestling with for decades. Countless works of literature have taken a crack at finding an answer, and just about every pop song ever written dwells on the topic, or at least fusses around the borders of the question.
And at the Tribeca Film Festival this week, lots of filmmakers have tackled the elusive subject — including two very different films that took an episodic approach, and found common ground mostly in their depiction of love as a messy, sad and formidable struggle with occasional moments of transcendence.

Also Read: Robert De Niro Pulls Anti-Vaccination Documentary From Tribeca Film Festival
"Madly" relied on six directors from around the world who were commissioned to make short films exploring the topic; while the documentary "LoveTru," is the work of a single director, Alma Har'el, who looks for love in three of the unlikeliest places.
The six episodes in "Madly" were directed by Japan's Sion Sono, Chile's Sebastian Silva, India's Anurag Kashyap, the U.K.'s Natasha Khan and two actors turned directors, Mexico's Gael Garcia Bernal and Australia's Mia Wasikowska. Most center on female protagonists, and most have an edge to them; Sono's deals with a young couple who take the woman's more conservative sister and husband to a sex club, while Kashyap's follows a wife locked up by her husband for the transgression of looking at porn and flirting with a neighbor's son …
As usual for ensemble films, the results are uneven. Wasikowska's film is lovely but unsettling, a dreamy mood piece about a young mother whose baby constantly cries, with the line between reality and fantasy thoroughly blurred.
Bernal's is a quiet character study of a woman whose marriage is tested by a child, while Silva's heartbreaking story follows a gay teen looking for acceptance and finding it only in the riskiest of circumstances.
The best of the sequences might be Natasha Khan's "I Do," about a young bride who has a life-changing experience on the way to the church.

Together, they form something of an odd, kaleidoscopic meditation on the ties that bind and the ways they fray. "None of us knew what the hell the other people were doing," Bernal said in the post-screening Q&A on Friday. "I knew that it would eventually be a dialogue, an accident, a conversation happening."
"LoveTrue," which also premiered on Friday, is a documentary that feels like a troubled but lovely fever dream, a look at three different subjects that mixes verite footage with re-enactments, and then deconstructs those sequences by having the actors talk to the real subjects.
The film moves between Alaska, where a young woman finds that being a stripper is a barrier to finding a lasting relationship; Hawaii, where a carefree surfer and doting father learns that he's not the biological father to the young boy he's raised as his son, but who was actually the product of the affair that broke up his relationship; and New York City, where a religious family struggles in the aftermath of the infidelity that shattered their parents' marriage.

The film is beautifully shot by Har'el, whose last film was the similarly striking "Bombay Beach," and put together in a way that never feels routine. Shia LaBeouf served as executive producer. ("I wrote a check," he explained when footage screened at Tribeca last year.)
The Alaskan sequences are the film's most affecting, while the Hawaiian father, with his mood swings and drunken outbursts, is the saddest and most indelible character. "I wish we could make a movie just only about good things," he confesses at one point.
Like "Madly," "LoveTrue" is about a few good things, but they're hard to find and harder to hang onto; this is a chronicle of the pain of love, not the glory of love. But it is a spooky, bold and touching chronicle, an artistic and dreamy reminder that you shouldn't always believe what you hear in those love songs.

At United Plumbing, we offer toilet repair and installation services to help you with a size project, from fixing a leaky toilet to helping with a whole bathroom remodel. We also have the information you need to help you choose the new toilet for your application. Don't put off toilet repairs until there is an emergency because nothing ruins a weekend like a malfunctioning toilet. And don't waste time on do-it-yourself projects that could take hours to complete. Instead, call our expert local plumbers for fast, efficient service. We even offer high efficiency, low flow toilets to help conserve the water wasted by older models. Give us a call to come and assess your needs, and get an estimate on updating to a water saving toilet model that uses fewer gallons per flush.
Because the sink you choose for your application is personal, it is important to get not only one in a style that suits you but also a sink model that is long lasting and expertly installed. At United Plumbing, we have the experience to assure your sink is installed with attention to detail. We can make recommendations as to the best manufacturers with our superior industry knowledge, and we'll complete the process from start to finish, removing the old sink and installing the new one, including faucets and garbage disposals.
Watching home improvement shows give the impression that faucet repair and replacement are do-it-yourself jobs, but since they are sponsored by home improvement stores, they are geared as a sales ploy. When you attempt to repair your faucet, you could find a difficult project on your hands because there is more than one type of faucet, and some are quite complex. At United Plumbing, we can help you with all types of faucets, making repairs or installations quick and easy. We are experts with:
Compression Faucets
Disk Faucets
Ball Faucets
Cartridge Faucets
Custom Faucets
Bath Valves
Shower Valves
Changing faucets and other fixtures can be a minor remodeling project that will refresh the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Our plumbing technicians are here to help, trained to be detail oriented and qualified to make the repair or installation right the first time!
While there are some quick, easy do-it-yourself style repairs for garbage disposals, some jobs really require expert assistance. Such instances include the undercutter becoming jammed, the hoses and seals leaking, or the impeller wearing out. Often the knowledgeable technicians at United Plumbing can repair the damage to your existing garbage disposal unit. With the abuse we typically heap upon this device to avoid smelly leftovers in the trash, there are a number of other problems that may exist as well.
If your garbage disposal is beyond repair, we have the capability of helping you find and replace the model with a new garbage disposal installation. We can accomplish the job without making a mess and ensure the garbage disposal is functioning properly with trained experts performing the installation so that your unit works for years to come. Call us today to get an estimate on garbage disposal services!
