Serena Williams Mistakes Drug Tester for Burglar, Calls 911
On Wednesday, tennis star Serena Williams had a fright after security cameras picked up what she thought was someone trying to break in to her Los Angeles home. In the heat of the moment, she barricaded herself in a panic room and called the authorities.
Police arrived on the scene after Williams' assistant called 911 to find a bewildered random drug tester for an unspecified tennis association, who'd simply stopped by for an unannounced urine test.
It has yet to be confirmed whether or not she provided said sample, but in the future she might want to keep in mind that "paranoia" is a side-effect of several illegal substances.

Ralph Klein has moved on from the homeless to the disabled. Yes, that's right. The Premier of Alberta is now going after disabled people...during an election campaign.
Let that sink in.
For those who have ignored Alberta politics for the past few years, I first offer my congratulations - you're as good as people who manage to stay away from reality TV. However our political scene has become more ridiculous than the latest round of wife swapping shows. To recap, Ralph has assault homeless people in a drunken fit of rage, plagiarized an essay, gone insane with an opposition MLA who dared ask him to provide receipts for a trip, shouted at reporters, told ranchers to "shoot, shovel and shut up", and left a health summit to go gambling. And yet, none of it will stick.
The Liberal party is trying to avoid attacking Klein. Personal stuff like drinking and his illegitimate children are off the table and they'll only hint at gambling. Fair enough. But even on issues where they have the full authority to attack Ralph on, they shy away, fearing he's too popular. I know it's a lot harder to attack someone people have had ten years to grow comfortable with than a relative newcomer like Stephen Harper, but isn't the moral of the federal election that going negative works? If I were Kevin Taft, I would be viciously going after Klein at every opportunity.

Jack Bauer's latest rough day will be his last on TV.
FOX drama "24" will conclude with its current eighth season, star Mary Lynn Rajskub Tweeted on Friday.
"Just found out we got the word officially," she Tweeted. "This is 24's last season."
According to the New York Times, a feature film script is in development for the series, with series leading man Kiefer Sutherland stating that the prospective movie would be a "two-hour representation" of one full day.
The series offered a groundbreaking format upon its November 2001 debut by splitting a 24-hour day into one-hour real-time episodes, and grappling with terrorism and political issues in the wake of 9/11.

New England editorial roundup
The Providence (R.I.) Journal, Jan. 25, 2013
President Obama's program to curb gun violence is eminently reasonable. How much will survive the lobbying of the gun manufacturing and sales industry working through the National Rifle Association is unknown. But most Americans seem to support the proposals.
These include restoring the ban on military-style assault guns, banning high-capacity ammunition clips (our favorite) and universal gun-buyer background checks for criminal records and mental illness. These things would require changes in laws. And, in our view, for the measures to work in the long run they may also have to be accompanied by local, state and federal gun-buyback programs. There are, after all, hundreds of millions of guns in the United States.
It will take years to get this problem under control, but that is no excuse to do nothing now.
(The NRA, which sometimes evinces a, well, violent take on things, has now fallen to a new low in taste by emphasizing in an ad that President Obama's daughters both get armed protection. Of course they do � the president and his family are always under special threat. After all, four U.S. presidents � who all had armed protection � have been assassinated with guns.
The president rightly also used executive orders to improve federal background checks of gun buyers, to better trace the sales trails of guns and to boost federal research on the causes of gun violence. Note that the NRA and its servants in Congress have even blocked federal funding of such research. Their aim seems to be to keep the public in the dark on who kills whom and with what.
Meanwhile, some states, notably New York and Massachusetts, press ahead with new gun-control rules. This will help, but national changes are much needed. NRA types often cite the high murder rate in Washington, D.C., which has had tough gun laws (though weakened in recent years by the U.S. Supreme Court). But that is mostly because of the proximity of urban social pathologies to Virginia, where guns are so easily available. Meanwhile, Massachusetts, with tough gun control, has one of lowest gun-death rates in America. New York City has one of the lowest murder rates of any big city in the nation, and tough gun-control laws.
Finally, we note that behind a lot of the NRA rhetoric is the idea that arming everyone with high-powered weapons will stop a tyrannical government from removing our rights. If individuals and groups really think that they can take on the Army, or just the "well-regulated militia" cited as the reason for gun rights in the Second Amendment, they are delusionary.
The Standard-Times of New Bedford (Mass.), Jan. 23, 2013
Perhaps there is something intangible that disappears when a figure from childhood passes away. For many who grew up in New England in the 1950s, '60s and early '70s, that figure was Rex Trailer. For nearly 20 years, the name Rex Trailer was synonymous with good-natured wholesome entertainment. The kindhearted Texas transplant appeared on television every week, and shared his Western talents and sage advice with the young'uns of the Northeast.
Many had likely lost track of Trailer, who spent his post-"Boomtown" days as an instructor at Emerson College in Boston, a producer and owner of a production company before retiring in his later years to Florida. No doubt most simply thought he had done what all cowboys do when their work is finished, and rode off into the sunset.
Sadly, there is little on television today that can even begin to compare with Trailer's brand of entertainment. The nonstop chaotic, cacophonic action of animated programming on Nickelodeon is almost the direct antithesis to Trailer's slow, steady drawl. Similarly, the train wreck that is so-called reality television, such as "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo" and its ilk, could not be further from the homespun wisdom of Trailer. Whereas much of the current batch of television programming seems to be designed to make us feel better about ourselves simply because we are not as horrible as the people we watch, Trailer instead lifted us up by being a worthy example. In short, he filled a position that seems sadly lacking in today's society: that of a role model truly worth emulating.
In addition to his broadcast success, Trailer was also a pioneer in terms of having young people with disabilities appear on his television show. He did not do so out of some sort of twisted need for self-promotion; there was little to be gained in the early 1960s by highlighting disabled children on your program. Rather, Trailer insisted on doing so because it was a cause that mattered to him, and because it was the right thing to do. He believed in the issue so much that he led a wagon train across the state to raise awareness of physical and mental disabilities.
Trailer also quietly took into account the social concerns of his day. An accomplished marksman, Trailer included actual gunplay in the early years of his show. But he hung up his guns in 1963 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Again, he did so without fanfare or self-glorification. He said it just seemed like the right thing to do.
This is not some misguided effort to canonize Trailer; the man was human and undoubtedly had his limitations and failings. But for nearly 20 years, he was an indelible icon on local television, a person whom one could feel good about watching, and a worthy role model for literally millions of children. In the end, maybe the saddest thing about Rex Trailer's passing is that there seems to be no one around who can even begin to fill that ten-gallon Stetson.

We've lived in this cul-de-sac for nearly forty years. No one has ever gotten a parking ticket. This is a quiet residential neighborhood far away from business districts or other areas where parking is at a premium.
Imagine then our surprise to find the first ticket and it's given on Rosh Hashanah—a night when in our area, sometimes known as the Hebrew Himalayas, Jewish families predictably come together to celebrate the new year.
I know that our city needs revenue, and I sympathize. However, this really feels both bogus and opportunistic. And because of the utter lack of enforcement at any other time, this also seems to be a police crime of opportunity. No, I don't believe it's motivated by anti-Semitism. It only takes advantage of one of the two times we gather together (the other being Passover).
Most of the time the police are pretty good at cutting some slack for various religious holidays, holy days and special occasions. If we tell the police near my synagogue that it's a holiday, they'll usually let us park longer than the posted times—Yom Kippur seems to run the entire day. If there's a funeral reception (a Shiva) in a restricted area, the police won't require permits.
But I guess the need of the city is so great that these courtesies aren't extended any more. It's really a shame. It's also really shameful. There was no posting of restrictions, and no other homes were blocked. No driveways were encroached upon. This was truly a victimless crime. Well, that's not completely true. The victim was my son and his family. I hope the loss of good will and respect is worth the $63. But I really don't think it is.

The Best Bloody Marys in Boston
As with most time-honored food and drink, the origin story of the Bloody Mary is a bit murky. One version goes that a Frenchman named Fernand Petiot invented the drink in the 1920s at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. But Petiot's cocktail was simply tomato juice and vodka, and it didn't become the multi-ingredient operation we enjoy today until he later adapted it while working at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City in the 1930s. Another source claims that actor-producer George Jessel actually created the drink, and Petiot just applied the finishing touches. In terms of the name, we have even more options to choose from: the grisly-sounding libation either pays tribute to 16th century English queen Mary Tudor, the actress Mary Pickford, or a waitress named Mary who worked at Chicago's Bucket of Blood club. As for the celery garnish, yet another charmingly-dubious anecdote posits that a customer at The Pump Room in the 1960s received her Bloody Mary sans swizzle stick, so proceeded to make do with a piece of celery from a nearby relish tray, and voila—tradition born of necessity and resourcefulness.
Speculation aside, my question is, how did the bloody Mary become so inextricably linked with brunch? Mimosas and screwdrivers make sense for the pre-noon hours—they're made with OJ, after all, they're practically part of a balanced breakfast—but the logic behind the tomato concoction as a morning drink seems to have more to do with its curative properties. Whether it's the lycopene in the tomatoes, the vitamin C, the sinus-clearing horseradish, or the diet-food garnish, we can almost pretend that the Bloody Mary is healthful...and what better to take the edge off that tequila-induced headache than with a boozy salad in a glass?
Come Sunday morning, Bloody Marys are sucked down all over the city, and you'd be hard pressed to find a brunch menu lacking one. But why pay up to ten bucks for something that can easily be slopped together at home? It seems that restaurants are realizing that, and the days of the simple Bloody Mary are no more.
Two popular approaches are swapping out the vodka for another spirit (my personal favorite is using gin to make a red snapper), and running amok in the garnish department with everything from bacon to shrimp to pineapple. Determined to find the tastiest and most creative Bloody Marys here in Boston, I penciled in a couple of weekends worth of boozy brunches, and set out to sacrifice myself for the cause. Here are the results: my guide to the best Bloody Marys in the Boston area »
The List:
Mason "Bloody" Jar at Matt Murphy's Pub
The Ghost of Mary at Sycamore
Bloody Maria at Lone Star Taco Bar
Maria Basilico at Russell House Tavern
Meat Lover's Bloody at Citizen Public House
The OOC Bloody at The Gallows

Evolution: Pitviper Scavenging ...
{Nature_and_Environment.102.1}: {bshmr} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:55:57 CST (17 lines)
I think of pit-vipers as needing their poison to immobilize live prey, not as scavenger. I wonder about the scope of the conjecture. BioScience tip sheet, November 2008 A listing of peer-reviewed articles from the issue The complete list of research articles in the November 2008 issue of BioScience is as follows: ... Pitviper Scavenging at the Intertidal Zone: An Evolutionary Scenario for Invasion of the Sea. Harvey B. Lillywhite, Coleman M. Sheehy III, and Frederic Zaidan III. Florida cottonmouth snakes that inhabit gulf coast islands feed on dead fish and intertidal carrion, occasionally entering the sea. The snakes suggest a model for how terrestrial vertebrates may have taken up marine existence. ...
{Nature_and_Environment.102.2}: Tonu Aun {tonu} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:54:05 CST (14 lines)
Several points Richard -- thanx for this. Elsewhere and elsewhen I've mentioned my interest in snakes. From ten to thirteen I honestly can claim I read everything available in the Chicago Public Library system on snakes. I was a kid in a candy store once I received access into the UofC stacks. Possibly I was precocious but more likely REALLY obsessed ;-) All snakes are opportunistic to varying degree. Most venomous snakes only eat their prey once they have killed it. Eating dead prey is what?:-)--- guess that means we humans are scavengers :-) More seriously I'd want to know if Cottonmouths eat mostly found dead stuff.... that would be a new fact I'm unaware of.
{Nature_and_Environment.102.3}: James Files {riverrat} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:49:17 CST (3 lines)
I remember catching a catfish, having it flip of my hook and start rolling down the bank. I started following it down to be met by a cottonmouth. I retreated as it swallowed the fish.
{Nature_and_Environment.102.4}: {bshmr} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 19:36:37 CST (10 lines)
Snakes sense infra-red and odors, IIRC. So, I have difficulty seeing both hunting and scavenging in contrast to raptors which are visual .... Besides, cottonmouths are deadly poisonous -- more so than rattlers or copperheads, again IIRC. NTYC: Somewhere I have a photo of a snake drinking within a foot of a frog. The snake flicked its tongue, caught the sense, focused, and the frog hopped across the five-foot deep pool.
{Nature_and_Environment.102.5}: Tonu Aun {tonu} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:11:22 CST (HTML)
The infra-red and odors are important.
What we consider raptors is also slanted --- the Bald Eagle for
example is almost exclusively a carrion eater. (Tell me if I'm wrong
on this Richard since I know you know birds far better)
{Nature_and_Environment.102.6}: James Files {riverrat} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:39:24 CST (4 lines)
Tonu. I know that during the Salmon runs they are almost exclusively adventitious, not predatory. According to Ben Franklin they are cowardly eaters of carrion, unlike the noble turkey.
{Nature_and_Environment.102.7}: {bshmr} Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:42:37 CST (9 lines)
Bald eagles are primarily carrion feeders, again this is based on visual identification of food -- a dead fish LOOKS like a live one, a dead (non-flattened) rabbit looks like a rabbit, etc. [ Golden eagles are considered 'hunters', IIRC. ] Few bird species sense odors; and, their visual recognition abilities of inanimate and stationary objects amaze me. Oh, Tonu, without reference book(s), I 'suck' at birds.

Much of the Howard Stern Show magic comes from the interaction between the Stern staff and a revolving cast of characters called the Whack Pack. Stern admits that it's not clear what makes a whack packer, and even regular callers and guests aren't guaranteed membership.
Most whack packers are disabled – physically, mentally and/or emotionally. Each has earned his or her place in Stern's court by repeatedly demonstrating a willingness to bend to the whims of the show. With the exception of Robin Quivers, staff members are expected to do the same. There have been many staffers, whack packers, and guests through the years. Here's an abbreviated list of some audience favorites.
Robin Quivers
What's her deal: Howard's sidekick, and the closest thing to a voice of reason. Gets her own booth, glassed off from the unwashed horde.What's her schtick: Giggles nonstop, endures endless teasing about her large breasts and the molestation she suffered as a child. Reads the news at the end of each show.
Fred (a.k.a. Eric) Norris
What's his deal: Writer and sound effectsguy. With Stern from the beginning.What's his schtick: Generally regarded as weird. Changed his name to "Eric" without telling anyone. Seems to harbor resentment towards Stern. Mostly quiet, but can be hilariously vicious to guests he doesn't like or staffers with whom he's angry.
Gary Dell'Abate a.k.a. Baba Booey
What's his deal: Stern show producer. Earned his nickname after mispronouncing the name of cartoon character "Baba Louie."What's his schtick: Endures endless teasing about his large teeth and lips. Ordered to wear a beekeeper outfit whenever his job requires that he stand next to a beautiful naked (or mostly naked) woman. Often the target of Stern's angry rants.
Artie Lange
What's his deal: Actor/comedian. Replaced Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling as comedy writer in 2001. Drug addiction led to his dismissal from "Mad TV" years earlier. The resulting stories are a constant source of humor.What's his schtick: Endures endless teasing about his food and alcohol abuse. Does dead-on impressions of Stern-show regulars, including Jeff the Drunk, Maryanne from Brooklyn and redneck racist Daniel Carver.
Benjy Bronk
What's his deal: Former pre-show interviewer turned writer.What's his schtick: Endures endless teasing about his weight, hygiene and inability to get women. Will behave or submit to most any humiliation for either money or attention. Once kissed High Pitch Eric.
Richard Christy
What's his deal: Beat out nine other contestants to win "Get John's Job" after Stuttering John left the show in 2004. Quit a fairly successful metal band and moved from Florida for what was originally a short-term gig.What's his schtick: Edits show audio to create hilarious crank phone calls and songs. Endures endless teasing about his Southern accent, love of Internet porn and increasing habit of getting naked in the studio.
Sal the Stockbroker
What's his deal: A regular caller who recently parleyed his Stern obsession into a paying gig.What's his schtick: Relentless harassment of Gary Dell'Abate, dubbed him "horse tooth jackass," and created a Web site of the same name (prior to show employment). Endures endless teasing about his obsessive interest in Stern.

What's his deal: Stern's limo driver.What's his shtick: Parlayed his spots into a regular gig at Scores strip club in Manhattan. Endures endless teasing about his love of Nascar and the time he went to great expense to pimp-out his new limo which Stern then refused to ride in.

What's his deal: Regular caller, very confrontational. Often angry.What's his schtick: Challenged K-Rock DJ Crazy Cabbie to a boxing match. The fight lasted five rounds and ended in a draw, resulting in much contention and on air arguments between the two.

His nom de plume is derived from his disproportionately small head and a scene in the movie "Beetlejuice" in which the title character's head is shrunken.What's his schtick Tough talk and an impaired mental capacity that makes him easily led in conversation. Frequently boasts about women, money and fighting ability. Stern appearances led to regular public appearances and occasional movie bit parts. "This is Beetle," a song he improvised on the show and set to music by Richard Christy was later recorded by both Staind and Blues Traveler.
Big Black
What's his deal: Regular caller, unemployed.What's his schtick: Spends the day recording television segments and playing them when he calls. Endures endless teasing from both the Stern crew and King of All Blacks for "talking white," being unemployed and generally uncool.

I shoot to the left, to the right and from time to time I get some great photos.
This then? This is not a book. This is libel, slander, and defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny,Time, Love, Beauty…

Soothing Bedtime Routine
Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine such as soaking in a hot bath or hot tub and then reading a book or listening to soothing music. A relaxing, routine activity right before bedtime conducted away from bright lights helps separate your sleep time from activities that can cause excitement, stress or anxiety which can make it more difficult to fall asleep, get sound and deep sleep or remain asleep. Avoid arousing activities before bedtime like working, paying bills, engaging in competitive games or family problem-solving. Some studies suggest that soaking in hot water (such as a hot tub or bath) before retiring to bed can ease the transition into deeper sleep, but it should be done early enough that you are no longer sweating or over-heated. If you are unable to avoid tension and stress, it may be helpful to learn relaxation therapy from a trained professional. Finally, avoid exposure to bright before bedtime because it signals the neurons that help control the sleep-wake cycle that it is time to awaken, not to sleep.

After being succeeded in office by William Howard Taft, the former president Theodore Roosevelt set out for Africa to hunt big game and collect specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. Known to history as the Smithsonian-Roosevelt African Expedition, the party began their journey 105 years ago this month and included Roosevelt's son Kermit who served as official photographer, three representatives from the Smithsonian (a retired Army surgeon and field naturalist, and two zoologists), two famous big-game hunters, a wildlife photographer and filmmaker, and several hundred porters and guides. They collected 1,100 specimens, 500 of which were big game; Teddy and Kermit personally collected 17 lions, 11 elephants, and 20 rhinoceros.
Roosevelt's travels were memorialized in several ways from the silent film Roosevelt in Africa to Scribner's Magazine's articles that were later gathered together and published as a book, African Game Tails, in 1909. That same year, Schoenhut Company introduced their tribute to the expedition: Teddy Roosevelt's Adventures in Africa Playset. Produced until 1912, the set included a doctor, naturalist, taxidermist, and native guides. Some of the playset parts were repurposed from the popular Humpty Dumpy Circus Playset, but the rhinos, zebras, hyenas, gazelles, deer, and gorillas were introduced for the first time. Bet you can't guess which one is Teddy Roosevelt (hint: he's carrying a rifle instead of a big stick)!

Borrowed from the Albert R. Stone Negative Collection, this image captures the inception of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
The picture was published in the Rochester Herald on Sept. 18, 1925, one day after the school opened. A note accompanying the original image calls the viewer's attention to the as-yet "unlandscaped grounds" and the lingering "debris (which) is still visible at right."
The inaugural class included 22 medical students, selected from a pool of 80 applicants. Included among the accepted were two women and seven native Rochesterians. These early students entered a medical campus still very much under construction, and were confined to classrooms on the fifth floor.
According to the Herald article, even as students began their training "finishing touches on the other floors of the medical building are being rushed by a large number of workmen."
The newly arrived students spent their first day of medical school at an assembly in the histology laboratory. During their first year in the program, the newspaper reported, they would be assigned to a strenuous regimen of anatomy coursework.
Planning for the medical school began in 1920. Dr. Abraham Flexner of the Rockefeller Foundation's General Education Board pitched the idea and then scrambled to secure financial sponsors.
Philanthropist George Eastman promised a particularly large pledge with the understanding that the medical school be grafted onto his previously supported Dental Dispensary.
University of Rochester President Rush Rhees endorsed the proposal and announced the formal commitment to create a combined School of Medicine and Dentistry during commencement exercises in June 1920.
Another generous donation, from the daughters of Henry Alvah Strong and Helen Griffin Strong, endowed the Strong Memorial Hospital, which was attached to the southern half of the Medical School and served as a teaching hospital. It opened for patient care on Jan. 4, 1926; a municipal hospital was added to the grounds in July 1926.
From the onset, the medical center intended to serve a greater public good as well as an educative function. An early brochure from the facilities, titled "For the Health of the Community," attests to its ambitious mission: "The Strong Memorial Hospital was especially planned for the proper treatment of patients of moderate means who could not afford the cost of both private rooms and professional fees."
The medical compound grew quickly, stretching its original resources to their limits. Shortly after making his donation, an astonished Eastman admitted that "(If I had) known his baby would grow so fast, I should probably have told Flexner to take it back home in the beginning, but it is such a pretty baby that one does not want to give it up now without a struggle to help support it."
By the 1930s, the situation had stabilized. Promotional fundraising literature from that decade proudly boasted of the medical compound's contributions to the health of the community.
Perhaps owing to the beneficence of the institution, Strong Medical boosters felt inclined to take free literary license in extolling the virtues of the hospital. Harkening back to older American traditions of charity and teaching hospitals, one pamphleteer waxed particularly poetic about Strong's role in ministering to the life cycles of city residents:
"Within these brick walls life begins and ends.
In this harbor weary, sea-worn ships
Drop anchor; and new-launched vessels
Start their outward trips."
The original remaining brickwork of Strong, now approaching its 90th birthday, will no doubt continue to bear witness to this same rhythmic pattern in the decades to come.

Joe Wright is a gifted director. His direction is daring, inventive, captivating, and unforgettable. But that doesn't make him a great director. A great director finds a way to take the material he's given and bring it to its maximum potential. Joe Wright doesn't elevate his movies; he exceeds them. Pride and Prejudice and Hanna are marvelous, but Atonement and The Soloist are terrible. Granted, any director can only do so much with a script he's given, but Wright seems content to leave his poor stories in the dust so that we can sit in awe at his bold direction like the long take of Dunkirk in Atonement or the musical colors in The Soloist. In his new film, Anna Karenina, Wright has once again blown past his story by using a melodrama to wrap his fascinating framing device rather than the other way around. Anna Karenina is a wonder to behold, but it leaves you wondering what you're holding.
Based on the Leo Tolstoy tome of the same name, Anna Karenina takes place in 1874 Imperial Russia. The eponymous character (Keira Knightley) has grown distant from her rigid husband Alexei Karenin (Jude Law), and becomes enraptured by the swaggering, virile Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). She begins an affair with Vronsky, which sends high society crashing down around her as her selfishness and immaturity blinds her to understanding love beyond the capacity for forgiveness. Meanwhile, as a basis for comparison, we see the story of Levin (Domhnall Gleeson), a friend of Anna's philandering brother Oblonsky (Matthew Macfadyen). Levin is a shy, earnest man who has traveled beyond the claustrophobic high society of Russia, but returns to seek the hand of Kitty (Alicia Vikander), the younger sister of Oblonsky's wife, Dolly (Kelly Macdonald).
The grand plot is almost secondary to the film's framing device: Anna Karenina is "set" inside an empty theater. Scenes unfold on the stage, in the auditorium, in the rafters, on the catwalk, and then it breaks the bonds of the theatre to bring us into the settings of train cars, bedrooms, etc. We're transported in and out of the theatre seemingly at random. But watching these transitions is absolutely mesmerizing. Wright uses playful long takes (one of his trademarks) to create impossible spaces that break the bounds of reality. Are we on the stage or are we in the world? The characters never recognize they're in a theater. It simply revolves around them as they perform for a absent audience.
So we're left trying to wrap our heads around what Wright is trying to do with his framing device. Is this a dress rehearsal for a real performance? Is it meant to convey the theatricality of the Tolstoy's story? Is this simply a play on "All the world's a stage?" (that reading seems a little too easy, and also seems off-key to crib Shakespeare when working from Tolstoy). As best as I could see it, the stage seems to be a cage of Russian high society. Everything is beautifully orchestrated, costumed, and choreographed, but the players are prisoners. Only Levin, with his pure heart and willingness to leave the aristocracy behind, is able to exit the stage for wide open spaces.
Levin's love story is the only element of the plot that doesn't meet with Wright's scorn. Without Levin's story, the movie would be nothing more than a simple pretense for Wright to exercise his idea, an idea he could have done with plenty of other 19th century literary classics. Anna Karenina, as created by Wright, is a big, bold tale of forbidden love that rolls its eyes at being a big, bold tale of forbidden love. Anna's "love" for Vronsky and her betrayal of Alexei has all the weight of a high school relationship. We're never meant to buy a serious, mature love between Anna and Vronsky. There's always a little silliness to any melodrama, but for Wright, it's almost perfunctory. Despite the strength of the performances, we can never sympathize with Anna, Alexei, and Vronsky because the framing device constantly reminds us that they're characters. They're no longer being framed or illustrated by the stage; they're devoured by it.
The star of Anna Karenina isn't the cast or the story; it's Joe Wright. The stage he's created doesn't enhance Tolstoy's classic story, but dwarfs it. Even the aristocracy/proletariat comparison seems like a quaint touch (Anna is a member of the former, and Levin is a member of the latter) rather than something worthy of our full attention. The film is emotionally cold because it rarely wants to seriously consider the characters' feelings. They're simply talking props in Wright's beautiful ballet. Anna Karenina is a glowing testament to Joe Wright's skill as a director, but not as a storyteller.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – The Los Angeles Galaxy got a first-half goal from Alan Gordon and benefited from yet more set-piece failures by the Colorado Rapids to eke out a 1-0 win on Wednesday night.
With the victory, the Galaxy won their first-ever match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park and continued their unblemished start to the season.
Veteran LA striker Alan Gordon was left wide open on the left hand side of the penalty area in the 21st minute to head home Landon Donovan's free kick for the only goal of the game.
Once the goal went in, the Rapids began to dominate the game after LA had been by far the more threatening team in the opening 20 minutes. In the second half, despite the occasional chance for the ever-dangerous Edson Buddle, LA rarely threatened other than a couple of counterattacks.
With World Cup spots up for grabs, the game was billed as a battle between Buddle and Conor Casey, but it was Omar Cummings who time and again revealed himself as Colorado's main attacking threat.
Running with confidence at the LA defenders all night, the Jamaican created a number of chances for himself and his teammates but none of the Rapids could finish. Cummings' battle with Gregg Berhalter in particular was contentious.
Buddle was, for the most part, extremely well-shepherded by Julien Baudet in central defense but still managed to get a number of shots in on goal. It was credit to both players that Buddle got in as many shots as he did while Baudet was doing such an excellent job. The Frenchman was also an offensive threat at times.
Again, Claudio Lopez was called into action off the bench to try and be the game-changer, but even his mercurial skills weren't enough to break the strong LA defense down. The Rapids mounted a late charge in the dying minutes but couldn't find the target. Their last chance was a Jeff Larentowicz free kick in injury time, which sailed over the bar.
With the win, the LA Galaxy move to 7-0-1 on the season, further stretching their lead in the Western Conference. LA are now nine points ahead of both Colorado and Houston, who also lost 1-0 Wednesday in their game against Dallas.

LA -- Alan Gordon 1 (Landon Donovan 6) 2

St. Patrick's Day is not the only reason why we're celebrating "Going Green." With Spring announcing its arrival next week and World Water Day falling on March 22, the call to action for being good stewards of our environment is more urgent than ever. If we don't take care of our environment, our environment will definitely turn on us. We are paying homage to the value of going green as it relates to water. It comes as no surprise that the birthstone for March is an Aquamarine. This pale blue gemstone whose name originates from the Roman word "Aqua" meaning water and "Mare" meaning sea resembles the color of seawater.
For decades, we have grown familiar with the term "Going Green." It is a ubiquitous statement that defines our worldwide ecosystem and the lives of humans and animal life everywhere. Around the world people, businesses and charities are making great strides by building communities to raise awareness about caring for and nurturing our neighbors and our planet.
As we prepare to celebrate World Water Day on March 22, Filters Fast would like to recognize some of our water filter vendors who have implemented impressive recycling programs for their products and going green initiatives.
Mavea offers a comprehensive recycling program where every part is broken down, cleaned and re-used. Nothing goes to the landfill. Return a minimum of 6 "Mavea" filters (only). They will pay the shipping costs. Simply request a pre-paid shipping label. https://www.mavea.com/mavea/mavea-recycling.html?L=0
Rainshow'r is now proud to partner with Active Recycling, an environmentally aware recycler, who understands our desire to limit our impact. For more information about their recycling program visit http://www.rainshowermfg.com/page6/page6.html.
Brita has a recycling campaign that recycles its carbon filters for the pitchers and faucet attachment models. For more information on recycling your Brita, filter visit http://www.brita.com/.
ZeroWater recycles their filters by separating each filter, then sending the plastic along with the materials inside to be sent to various facilities for reuse. Visit http://ww2.zerowater.com/recycling/ for more information.
Everpure water filtration products are recyclable and details on recycling locations can be found at www.everpure.com/ or you can contact Everpure at (800) 323-7873.
Make sure you are only sending filters made by these companies to avoid being charged for additional shipping. Through recycling, we can significantly reduce the amount of waste that litters our landfills and save energy compared to creating new waste with new products. Everything we do or don't do plays a vital role in the health and dynamics of planet Earth.

For example, the kanji for "one" has a kun reading of "hito(tsu)." I looked it up and found that it's the difference between "one" and "one thing," but how could you have known that without specifically looking it up? I'm looking to learn whether there is a pattern to the significance of okurigana.
Also, when are the kun readings of numerals used if you count with on readings?

It's a new month...again!! I keep saying how fast time flies by and it's true!! We finally finished our staining project. We are so pleased with how the porches look now. Walking up to our front door, you are greeted with new flower bed and freshly leveled and stained porch and the freshly painted windmill, which celebrates our Dutch heritage.
To celebrate the month of June, I decided to buy this pretty nail polish called Gentle Blossom. There's nothing quite as complimentary to flip-flops as happy toes :)

ONE OF US - Leeuwarden
Do we still speak the language of nature, or have we retreated so far into our human world that we no longer understand it? This question, which was also the core of Wachter, Nynke Lavermans' last performance, is the point of departure of the third projection on the Oldehove: the poetic short film One of Us. One of Us is the result of a collaboration between singer/poet Nynke Laverman, filmmaker Douwe Dijkstra, and composer/percussionist Sytze Pruiksma, commissioned by Lân fan Taal as a part of Leeuwarden Cultural Capital of Europe.
From 27 July to 30 September!

Is there way to run Plasma/DeviceNotifier under another WM to KWin/KDE (e.g. Fluxbox).
To be more specific, I have currently configured KDE, but I work remotely thorough SSH -Y + X-forwarding. So running
plasma-desktop might run all other Plasmoids/Widgets. I'd like to run only one : DeviceNotifier.
As I see it runs thought libs, no standalone executable there:
~$ pacman -Ql | grep devicenoti
kdebase-workspace /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_devicenotifier.so
kdebase-workspace /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_engine_devicenotifications.so
kdebase-workspace /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-devicenotifier.desktop
kdebase-workspace /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-dataengine-devicenotifications.desktop
kdebindings-python /usr/share/sip/PyKDE4/solid/devicenotifier.sip
kde-l10n-pl /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_devicenotifier.mo
kdelibs /usr/include/solid/devicenotifier.h
So... how to run it ?
plasma-desktop does not work.
I run on my laptop:
laptop$ xinit;
laptop$ ssh -Y desktop;
desktop$ fluxbox #X forwarding
So I run fluxbox on remote machine ("Desktop").
When I run in such situation
plasma-desktop I end-up with whole screen messed up with all widgets I normally use on remote machine when I work on it locally.
There are few problems there : (1) On desktop I have six times more screen space, (2) when I work remotely I do not need most of stuff I need when I work locally (3) I'm afraid of running another instance remotely of all those widgets and stuff, when it's already running on desktop.
That's why I am asking about running only one widget.
It can be
plasma-desktop, but running only one widget, but not whole stuff I have setup and running on desktop locally.

If you are also receiving unwanted junk mail, you can opt out of this online by visiting www.dmachoice.org and filling out their online form.
As always, watch your accounts carefully. If you notice any unauthorized activity on any of your personal accounts, notify LifeLock and the financial institution/organization in question as soon as possible.
§For NortonLifeLock offerings provided to you by a Service Provider or through channels outside the United States, the LifeLock identity theft protection services and coverage, plan feature names and functionality might differ from the services offered directly by NortonLifeLock. Please contact your Service Provider for details on their NortonLifeLock plan offerings.
