Nary a Word: 'The Last Laugh' and 'The General'
Buster Keaton in The General
This is one of two silent classics recently reissued by Kino in two-disc versions. The other is Buster Keaton's The General (1926), a movie so universally celebrated as his greatest achievement that its reputation can roll over you like a steam engine. Key to its lore is that it wasn't so successful at the time, partly due to its enormous expense, and only since the Keaton revival of the 1950s has it become so highly regarded.
This new Kino reissue quotes critic David Robinson on the package. "Every shot has the authenticity and the unassuming correct composition of a Matthew Brady Civil War photograph," he writes, adding that no other filmmaker caught the visual aspect of the Civil War (or at least Brady photographs) as Keaton did. Orson Welles makes a similar remark in his introduction to the movie from the early '70s PBS series The Silent Years, which is included as a bonus along with Gloria Swanson's intro from an early '60s series called Silents Please. Welles rhapsodizes about the film's beauty, declaring it "a hundred times more visually stunning than Gone with the Wind.

But that doesn't sound hilarious, does it? That's one clue to why contemporary audiences were less impressed with it than, as the aliens told Woody Allen in Stardust Memories, with his earlier, funnier films -- or his later funnier ones. The General is part of a Keaton trend toward quite serious stories highlighted by Douglas Fairbanks-ian physicality, as seen in Our Hospitality (which I actually like better) or The Navigator (ditto) or Battling Butler (a close call). In fact, the most famous stunt in The General has nothing to do with Keaton except as its creator. It's the collapse of a train on a burning bridge, which was reported as the most expensive sequence ever filmed to that time. What does it mean that the most famous image in a Keaton film doesn't have Keaton in it? It's certainly an impressive shot every time you see it -- there's the train really falling -- but hardly a knee-slapper.
Then too, the whole set-up is an irritating play among wholly uninteresting characters. Keaton's Johnny is in love with a silly girl unworthy of him, and when the Civil War breaks out and her father and brother go off to enlist, she goads him to enlist too. So he rushes to be first in line at the enlistment office, where two officials decide he's already too valuable to the war effort as a railroad conductor and refuse to enlist him. But they simply shine him along without telling him why, leading to his extended scene of frustration as he assumes he's not good enough to be a soldier. When he leaves the office, he's seen by the father and brother who encourage him to get in line, and when he doesn't even answer them, they assume he's too chicken to enlist and they pass this misinformation along to their sister.
In other words, this story requires two colossal misapprehensions that could be solved if only anyone said anything to anybody. When Johnny finally tries to explain, she cuts him off with "Don't lie to me. And don't talk to me again until you're in uniform." Compared with this contrivance, the premise of Seven Chances, in which Buster has 24 hours to get married and inherit a fortune, is a model of common sense and rigorous cause-and-effect. But when people recall this film fondly, they skip right over that stuff and go directly to the exciting chase (actually two chases) that's loosely based on a real historical incident. (The Walt Disney film The Great Locomotive Chase tells a version of the same story from the Northern point of view.) And yes, this narrative is full of ingenious, breathless, well-choreographed ideas that make the film entertaining. I'm only stating here that if you're more impressed by the visuals of the chase or the Brady-esque compositions, you should be aware that several less ambitious Keaton movies are actually funnier and have more endearing characters, if that matters to you. Yet I admit that when I first saw this movie at a tender age, with that intro by Welles, I wasn't bothered by the frustration of the set-up or the thin romance, nor did I have other Keatons to compare it with. I accepted its simplicities and plugged right into the breathless fun. Childhood is an excellent time to be introduced to silent films. One accepts them as a world unto itself, like animation or musicals. Kino is our most vigilant and tireless guide to that era. This two-disc set includes three scores, a tour of filming locations, a history and look at the actual General engine, some brief behind-the-scenes footage, and a montage of Keaton's train gags. The print is declared to be mastered in HD from a 35mm archive print struck from the negative, and it looks very good. Kino has also recently released Harry Langdon: Three's a Crowd and The Chaser, an important and welcome contribution to the ongoing excavation of this comedian's neglected corpus, about which we've written in these pages before. Langdon directed himself in these commercial disappointments of 1927-28. On the surface, and even under it, Three's a Crowd is a sad, pathetic tale of a man-child for whom nothing will work out, a schlemiel without even the bittersweet insouciance of a Chaplin. In the dead of winter, he lives in an eyrie at the top of an impossibly long, narrow flight of stairs. As per Langdon's specialty, nothing definite happens for long stretches of film (and at least one dream sequence was unfortunately removed to make it shorter), but eventually he takes in a woman with no apparent husband as she's moments away from giving birth. Harry apparently intends to keep these strays as his new family. David Kalat's commentary vigorously defends this misunderstood film and explains how even the comical stunts, such as Langdon falling through his floor, are pervaded by fatalism. This is how Langdon expands the boundaries of comedy into things that aren't really funny -- not unlike Keaton, mark you, save that Keaton is an action hero while Langdon is a stasis hero, more acted upon than acting. The Chaser goes further, although it's full of more conventionally ridiculous comic situations. The movie's central absurdity is the concept of Harry, the sexless halfwit of the previous film, now carousing the town and somehow being irresistible to women. This time he has a wife (Gladys McConnell, the pregnant lass of the previous film in a wildly different role), but this is domestic comedy Harry-style with a strange gender reversal. Harry stays out late at boisterous lodge meetings, which leads to a sequence of would-be homicide involving the mother-in-law. For this, Harry is sentenced to switch places with his wife for six months. That means his better half puts on mannish attire and goes out to bring home the bacon while Harry wears a dress, does the housework and fights off the attentions of a series of male visitors. This leads to an extended suicide attempt! The film changes direction somewhat when he goes golfing with a chum who must be the only person in the country not to have read about Harry's sentence in the papers. Another Kino release in their Slapstick Symposium series is The Extra Girl, a Mack Sennett production of 1923 made to showcase Mabel Normand, probably the most famous female comic of the era. The first half of the film concerns her small-town life with her parents, her romantic triangle, and her dreams of making it in Hollywood. Her unsuitable suitor is the portly Vernon Dent, a great comic actor from Langdon's shorts. A wedding-day escape leads to the Hollywood portion of the film as she thinks she's going to make it big in pictures. The comic highlight involves a lion. Possibly the most effective scene is the non-comic, acutely human moment when Mabel is discovered by her parents in the act of running away. Hollywood was already one of Hollywood's favorite subjects, and this is part of a line of spoofs that include Merton of the Movies, Ella Cinders and Show People, all of which came later. The feature looks and feels like a strung-together series of bits, a common quality of many comedies. For example, a swindler is thrown into the plot at the last minute for no special reason. Yet Normand is always a charming presence, especially when "acting". This is, by the way, the same 1969-copyrighted tinted print, with the same music, that played on the aforementioned series The Silent Years, but this time we get no Welles intro. A 1913 short, The Gusher, in which she plays the pretty appendage of a childishly hyperactive Ford Sterling, is included as a bonus to show her notable evolution as a comic presence.

There are two main types of landscape lighting systems: low voltage (12 volt DC) and line voltage (120 volt AC). You don't need to have to worry about utilizing the correct voltage tap on the transformer. Please bear in mind that you can add on, to additional lighten your layout, but it can't exceed the wattage capacity of your existing transformer. Residential landscape lighting ought to often aim to be welcoming and warm, enveloping the house in an inviting glow. The LED landscape path lights are utilized right here to illuminate the patio and entry to the deck measures.
Continuing, we connected each line to the transformer and did a couple of tests with the voltmeter to make confident the lights had been operating. It is just downright aggravating to have to go back and wire the complete wall once again. Low voltage is as the name implies, characterized by an output of 12 volts, but many fixtures will operate in the eight-15 volt range (specially LED landscape lights).
You are going to also need to use the particular wire intended for outdoor direct burial and for use with landscape lighting. LIGHTING Design and style Strategy your lighting design by choosing attributes to enhance, and places that need light. The output of the LED module is equivalent to that of a 10-watt bulb, with a 3000K color rendering index, and power consumption of approximately two.four watts.
Tools and supplies needed for installation incorporate the Integral Lighting Kit, of course. Take benefit of the let's stay in" weather by receiving to know your low voltage lighting options or solar lighting landscape choices. Making use of an Integral Lighting Kit and a couple of additional fixtures, my father and I installed the following hardscape lighting project.
If this step is not feasible, Integral Lighting has a retrofit lamp offered for already current installations. Even so, the proper view of lighting for the appropriate application is offered. To explore a lot more unique options that Green Outside Lighting offers, glance via their photo gallery for inspiration, or attempt the ideas in the DIY section if you are feeling adventurous.

If your bathroom or washroom has seen better days, you are in the right place. Below we share with you six simple ways to refresh your bathroom and make it a more pleasant place to be.
Buy some new accessories
One of the simplest ways to give your bathroom a new look is to replace the accessories. This job does not take long to do, and need not be expensive.
Install some new lighting
Many bathrooms look a bit dark and dingy. Especially those that have only one light hanging from the ceiling. Adding some additional lighting will make a huge difference to the ambience and make the bathroom a more practical place to use. For example, installing a light near your mirror will make it far easier for members of the family to have a shave or apply their makeup.
Lay some tiles
If you do not already have tiles on your walls consider adding them. They look much better than painted walls and are far easier to keep clean, and mould free. You do not necessarily have to tile the entire room. You will be pleasantly surprised by how much difference just tiling around the bath makes.
If you have little boys in the house, it is definitely well worth taking the time to tile the wall space behind the toilet. That way if they have any accidents you can quickly clean them up.
Update the flooring
Just replacing the flooring will make a huge difference to the overall look of the room. These days replacing a floor does not have to cost a fortune, especially if you opt to use lino or laminated flooring. You just need to be careful to buy the type that is designed to be used in the damp and steamy environment of a bathroom. This buyer's guide to bathroom flooring will help you to buy the right materials for the job.
Use decals to give the walls a new look
If you want to give your walls a new look you do not necessarily have to repaint or re-tile. It is now possible to buy waterproof walls stickers and decals, which are suitable for use in the bathroom.
When refreshing the walls, take the time to paint the ceiling too, it will not cost much, or take you long to do. You will be pleasantly surprised by how much difference this simple step will make to the overall look of the room.
Deep clean everything
Last, but by no means last, is going through and giving your bathroom a through clean. You will be stunned at how much better everything looks after you have given it a through clean.
You can buy much of what you need to do all of the above at www.betterbathrooms.com. This company has a huge inventory and sells products that are suitable for any size, or type of home. Everything they sell is guaranteed, and they have a helpline that you can use should you have any questions.

Wow, this information is coming in fast and furious! I'm getting a lot of referrals from Cryptomundo today so I decided to see what they were saying about the post on Karl Kozak's revelation that the picture is actually just the back of the costume of the creature in his movie Clawed. Turns out a Cryptomundian left a comment that Cryptomundo posted a story about the costume from Clawed being for sale on ebay back in October of 2006. If you won the bid, you would also receive a DVD demonstrating how they made the suit! The last bid at the time they posted the story was $3,000. I have no idea what the final bid was. Here's the description from ebay
This is the authentic screen-worn Bigfoot creature suit as used in the feature film, "The Ghost of Echo Mountain". This stunt suit was used twice and remains in perfect condition. It has been fabricated of a soft polyfoam (BJB 265) and latex skin. It has been maticulously painted using airbrushed inks. All fur is synthetic and was both handlaid and contact cemented in place. This item stands approximately 6′6″ (including footware) and was designed for the lead actor who was 6′2″ and 210lbs. The suit is quite large, so please be aware that it may require modifications for those smaller than six feet. I myself have tried on this suit (5′10″, 175 lbs) and found that by bulking it out using pillow foam worked just fine…just a little on the warm side. The head piece is seperate from the body and is just a slip on. The body suit is entered from the back. Folds of the synthetic fur covers all seams. The actors hands were painted using tattoo inks to match the overall colour scheme and feet are covered with fur.
With this costume I will include a copy of the promotional DVD on the fabrication of the suit and a copy of the original script entitled, "The Unknown". Due to the lightwieght materials used in the fabrication of this suit, I expect shipping costs to be minimal.
Who bought the suit? Are there other promotional DVDs on the construction of the suit? So many questions, and so few answers!
BTW – A new assumption can be made based on this information. Whoever bought the suit is the source behind the hoax not the FX team as I speculated before.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) – Four people who have overcome immense adversity are being honored this year at the second annual HateBraker Heroes Awards.
The awards are scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m. at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Hotel. HateBrakers is a nonprofit dedicated to ending hate.
Watch the VIDEO, KSDK's interview of Susan Balk, by clicking on this link: http://www.ksdk.com/story/life/2014/05/14/hatebraker-heroes-awards-monday-lizzie-sider-morgan-keenan-lenore-pepper/9100725/
The HateBraker heroes are:
Lizzie Sider, named by the Country Music Association "Who to Watch" in 2013 will receive the Peter Yarrow HateBraker Hero Award. She always loved to sing but mean girls used to ask her to sing and then laugh at her and run away. One day she stopped crying and found her power in words and music. Today her Bullying Prevention Tour, comforting kids of all ages who have been teased or bullied, has taken her to California and Florida already reaching over 70,000 kids through live assemblies. Her first St. Louis assembly tour will be held in May.
Morgan Keenan was a teenager when he first was outed and his parents then shunned him from the family. At sixteen, Morgan's challenges included keeping a roof over his head and finishing his Algebra homework. He went on to finish high school and college through scholarships and hard work, Two years ago he founded Missouri GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) Network, which is a network of high school clubs in Missouri working to empower student leaders to fight homophobia and transphobia in Missouri Schools. Today there are over 45 clubs in the network and Morgan's focus is developing student leaders who create change and put the brakes on hate in Missouri.
Willie Dyson's mother abandoned him when he was six weeks old. He was frail and sickly when the white couple who fostered him was told he would never walk. Through their healing care he not only thrived, he went on to college with a football scholarship. His professional music video "No Color" captures the raw and real story of his struggle and his effort to build social support for inter-racial adoption.
Lenore Pepper, St. Louis icon of wisdom, generosity and business success was six years old when a family in the neighborhood brutally beat her and called her anti-Semitic names. She says she managed to survive such hate "by killing them with kindness. Anything I can do to help make things better, I want to do. Anything."Follow me on social media:

I will be moving to Athens next month but am in town this weekend. Am I allowed to come for a free "test" day tomorrow? I have been working out with a CrossFit gym in Palm Beach Gardens for about the past 3 weeks. I love it and want to continue it up here once I move.
Hey Brent,
I'm a former college athlete with a very thorough background in Olympic style lifting and I've been looking to get back into that style of workout for a few months now. A few of my friends have been getting their Level 1 Certification, so I'm interested in hopping on the bandwagon to see how the Athens Crossfit functions.
I was also curious as to how the classes are split-up/conducted and when/if I could come down and check it out.
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hey! I will be heading to Athens in two weeks for the Tennessee game. I would love to stop by and wod with you guys on Friday. What are your drop in fees and what is the best time? I was thinking 4 or 5.
Will be in town visiting my son this weekend and going to the game! Do you have a WOD on Sat morning that I can drop in for? What time?
I love coming to your place. I always learn something. I secretly look at your website every day as i love your programing. Can't tell my NY box that I have a thing for you GA folks….
Look forward to seeing you.

Article Title
Good afternoon and welcome. We are here to remember and celebrate the life of a good friend who happened also to be a great man. We shall try with our words to express our friendship for Joe and do justice to his greatness. It goes without saying that we shall fail in the attempt. Our words will fall short of the facts, and can never reach the man himself. That is something we must accept. But Joe is gone, and all we now possess of him are the words we use to remember and describe him. That is something we must attempt. We shall try our best, partly for our own sake, because we need to keep as much of Joe as we can, and partly also for his, because Joe's life among us now depends on our poor power to translate from the vital world, so transient and bright, to the world of words, where we store up in a shadowy but more durable form all the feelings we wish could last.

Talladega County Alabama
Talladega County Alabama
Talladega County is a county of the state of Alabama. As of the 2010 census, the population was 82,291. Its county seat is Talladega, Alabama. Talladega is derived from the Muscogee (Creek) Native American word TVLVTEKE which translates to "border town." Prior to Euro-American settlement in what is today Talladega County it was the home of the Abihka tribe of the Creek Confederacy. The county was established December 18, 1832 from land ceded by the Creek Indians.
In Talladega County, the Riddle and Story Mines both produced lode gold, with placers found in Talladega Creek.

The voice within said YES, I want to be living life upright vs horizontal. At that point I was willing to eat bugs if it meant I was going to be well. However, writing down my gratitude versus eating bugs was way more palatable. I chose then to adopt a lifestyle of gratitude and started journaling my blessings.
I started writing down my thankfulness for things that made me laugh, things that tasted wonderful, things that were beautiful, things that made my heart sing and even gratitude for the pain. It was then that I started to shift and heal. It connected me to my soul like nothing thus far had. I started to see life differently because it was fueling my soul and my heart with a whole new dimension of "feeling." It opened the door to experience myself and the world differently.
It is easy. Put a notebook in your kitchen or on your night stand next to your bed. Right three to five gratitudes daily. Start with:
- I am so grateful . . .
- I am so thankful . . .
- I am so blessed . . .
When I moved my Gratitude Journal to the kitchen, my Dreamy Guy started to do daily gratitudes with me. It is a great way to get the family involved. This allows expansion of their heart too.
Oprah mentions in her discussion about gratitude at the bottom of the page (scroll down), if you are "thankful for what you have, you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
That is powerful.
Hands-down, gratitude is good for your soul. Choose today, Thanksgiving, to make it a lifestyle for you each day.
Happy Gratitude Day!

Why Cinematografo?
Like any other film festivals, coming up with a brand name that would represent our mission and vision is one of the most exciting aspects of our start-up journey.
As we shortlisted the options, we find it appropriate to look back into the history that all started the habit of watching films in the Philippines.
It all started from a simple passion.
In August 1897, a Spanish soldier, Antonio Ramos, ended his military service and decided to pursue his passion for film. He brought the first motion picture camera to the Philippines along with a catalogue of 30 film titles. He needed to find a structure to nestle his acquisition. After touring different places, he found a building that used to be a jewelry shop in Escolta, considered to be one of the oldest financial districts in Manila. After a day of test run, it had its maiden film presentation on August 29, 1897 much to delight of the general public.
Hence, the birth of Cinematografo, the first movie theater in the Philippines.
It is from this historical perspective that we derive the name of the festival that aims to support passionate Filipino filmmakers in delivering their stories to the global audience and in highlighting pacesetters and changemakers in the industry.

Emerging Investor Issue – Compliance Program Transparency
In 2016, the competition for institutional investor allocations continues to intensify.
As part of this competition, many asset managers face a NEW hurdle: "Compliance Program Transparency™."
Previously, asset managers could satisfy a due diligence inquiry regarding their compliance program with either:
- A short meeting about the compliance program
- Furnishing the Table of Contents from the compliance manual
- An onsite review of the compliance manual
Unfortunately, the escalating enforcement environment creates an even greater "head line" risk for investors, which supersedes investment return.
Consequently, an increasing number of investors have requested more substantive and documented access to a firm's compliance program.

spring & summer 2016 I discover:
"Haul" videos on youtube! I'm always a day late & a dollar short. but wtf? people make these videos right in their vehicle immediately after making a 'haul', (like taking a dump) before starting the vehicle to drive home, imma just do this haul vid right here, in the mall parking lot! some people do HUGE HAULS! TINY HAULS! Luxury Hauls! I think I found this phenomenon by searching for simple product reviews. I have to admit, because I don't own a tv I do watch a lot of things on my laptop and one of my new favorite shows is (it isn't new anymore it is already old) WIFE SWAP (the UK wife swaps are the best!) another good one. i was talking to my sister (the one that lives in germany) today, and she said, you need to check out the german wife swap episodes... so I just did and the first one I clicked on ...... you won't understand the language but give it less than 5 minutes and you will see the action.. hey ho! add "cringe compilations" to my list. < girl is twerking in a pair of thin, white leggings, farts, & surprise. let me find the one with the crazy chicks. i mean we are talking some serious schizophrenia HERE! BRONIES! sometimes I'm grateful for 'internet-delayed'.

Hello Stampin' Friends ~
How are you on this fine Monday? If your from Wisconsin or the surrounding states, then you were in the path of a very white weather pattern. Here was our Sunday …
This was taken from my kitchen window on Sunday afternoon (nope, I wasn't even outside) after I got home from work. Yes, I went in on my day off. It would have been a great day to be in my Stampin' Studio making cards!
Speaking of cards ….
I'd like to share another card from our Holiday Retreat Attendee Swap that was created by Olivia.
Olivia used the "Reason for the Season" stamp set from our annual catalog. CLICK HERE TO VIEW
Banners are all the rage right now in stamping, and Olivia used them to highlight her poinsettia and greeting. Clever!
I love poinsettia's so you know this set is in my stamp collection. I also like the script for the greetings, it's kind of old fashions so it gives your card that neat nostalgic look, and isn't that part of the Holiday feeling … our memories from Christmas' past.
Thank you so much for joining me today. I will be back tomorrow with a "Two for Tuesday" since I missed my Sunday post.
Stay warm and have a wonderful day ~

Image Description: If you're a hunter, this photograph of a fantastic sculpture of a hunting dog sitting atop a felled buck is sure to appeal to you. While the deer has an expected shocked and pained look on its face, the dog appears to be baying back towards its unseen master, beckoning him to collect his kill. The detail in both animals is sublime, with the buck's matted fur, bent legs, antlers, and wild eyes all looking as if they were a piece of captured reality, with the dog's features looking no less vivid, most notably its well-designed collar. The entire scene is set behind fences, with the vivid green of trees making for a colorful border to the otherwise colorless sculpture.

Welcome to the Red Bricks of Yore, a home that transports you to old Calcutta
It's a view that the Sens never tire of. One of Mumbai's modern architectural accomplishments — the Bandra-Worli sealink — is the first sight that Akash and his wife Arpita Sen wake up to every morning. To top it all, the sea breeze that ventilates the rooms keeps the apartment cool throughout the day.
But, as attractive as this seemed, it wasn't enough for the family. Arpita says, "When Akash, Ahan (son) and I first saw this apartment, the view from the living room, guest room and master bedroom was breathtaking. But, there were drawbacks — the flat had not been lived in for two years and the crooked shape of the dining area and guest bathroom had us feeling uncertain about the space."
It was only after the couple revisted the property with their architect, Munawwar Sharifi (Creative Director, The Design Company India) that they were able to look beyond the drawbacks."
The Sens wanted this apartment to capture details from their past, from their time spent in Kolkata. Munawwar was excited with the prospect of bringing to a Mumbai home, the quirks and details that celebrated the erstwhile charm of an Old World Bengali lifestyle. And indeed, the home today harks back to good ol' Calcutta.
Here's an excerpt from Munawwar's first email exchange with the Sens, there is a huge sense of nostalgia, a feeling that only Kolkata can bring on. "I can hear the rustle of the tram, the birds chirping. There is a painted wooden house belonging to a couple — the Sens. The wife seems lost in her books. And ever so often she watches the boats roaring past the bridge." Prose meets reality here.
We love the vintage stylings of the kitchen. Reminds us of a playful cottage space.
The master bedroom has a large decorative mirror that serves as an ingenious decor tool — it reflects a profusion of natural light and also creates the illusion of a much larger space.
Munawwar couldn't stress enough on the sourcing — he has visited numerous flea markets (Chor Bazaar, Jogeshwari furniture market, to name a few), that lends the home an interesting narrative. Our personal favourite — the nautical-inspired swimming gear in the living room. Step inside and you are bound to be charmed. I was! The cool tempering of the stone flooring; classic flip-up, flip-down electrical fittings; quirky light fixtures and fans; stand-out architectural details — the wooden beams near the entrance, the curved ceiling corners in the kitchen and finally, the red brick walls running through the living room. Kolkata is everywhere; every corner, every niche, even in the air you breathe!

The Kansas legislature passed a new law that will exempt governmental medical facilities and adult care homes from permitting concealed carry in their buildings for a period of four (4) years. To apply for an exemption under this legislation, a hospital or adult care home must submit a request to the Attorney General's office stating the reason it is requesting an exemption. This law becomes effective July 1, 2013.
The Kansas Hospital Association has been in touch with the Concealed Carry Unit at the Attorney General's office regarding the process required for hospitals to request a four-year concealed carry exemption and have been told the following information:
The Kansas Attorney General's Office has provided the following information online:
1. New signage that facilities requesting the exemption must post to clearly let gun owners know that they cannot bring concealed weapons in the building.
2. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that will clarify issues hospitals and other entities may have about revisions to the concealed carry law.

Note: Development and Testing purposes only. Not supported in production environments.
Link to other containerization articles
In this blog post about security and containers, we will be discussing about implementing a Kerberos Double Hop from the client machine to the PI Web API container and finally to the PI Data Archive container. Previously, when we are using the PI Web API container located here Spin up PI Web API container (AF Server included), we are using local accounts for authentication to the backend server such as the AF Server or the PI Data Archive. The limitation is that without Kerberos Delegation, we will not be able to have per user security which means that all users of PI Web API will have the same permissions. i.e. an operator can read the sensitive tags that were meant for the upper management and vice versa. Obviously, this is not ideal. What we want is to have more granularity in assigning permissions to the right people so that they can only access the tags that they are supposed to read.
You will need to have 2 GMSA accounts. You can request such accounts from your IT department. They can refer to this blog post if they do not know how to create GMSA Spin up AF Server container (Kerberos enabled). Also be sure that one of them has the TrustedforDelegation property set to True. This can be done with the Set-ADServiceAccount cmdlet.
You will also need to build the PI Data Archive container by following the instructions in the Build the image section here.
PI Data Archive container health check
For the PI Web API container, you will need to pull it from the repository by using this command.
docker pull elee3/afserver:webapi18
Demo without GMSA
First let us demonstrate how authentication will look like when we run containers without GMSA.
Let's have a look at the various authentication modes that PI Web API offers.
1. Anonymous
2. Basic
3. Kerberos
4. Bearer
For more detailed explanation aboout each mode, please refer to this page.
We will only be going through the first 3 modes as Bearer requires an external identity provider which is out of the scope of this blog.
Create the PI Data Archive container and the PI Web API container. We will also create a local user called 'enduser' in the two containers.
docker run -h pi --name pi -e trust=%computername% pidax:18 docker run -h wa --name wa elee3/afserver:webapi18 docker exec wa net user enduser qwert123! /add docker exec pi net user enduser qwert123! /add
Now let's open up PSE and connect to the hostname "wa". If prompted for the credentials, use
Username: afadmin
Password: qwert123!
Change the authentication to Anonymous and check in the changes. Restart the PI Web API service.
Verify that the setting has taken effect by using internet explorer to browse to /system/configuration. There will be no need for any credentials.
We can now try to connect to the PI Data Archive container with this URL.
Check the PI Data Archive logs to see how PI Web API is authenticating.
Result: With Anonymous authentication, PI Web API authenticates with its service account using NTLM.
Now use PSE to change the authentication to Basic and check in. Restart the PI Web API service.
Close internet explorer and reopen it to point to /system/configuration to check the authentication method. This time, there will be a prompt for credentials. Enter
Username: enduser
Password: qwert123!
Try to connect to the same PI Data Archive earlier. You will get an error as the default PI Data Archive container doesn't have any mappings for enduser
Let's see what is happening on the PI Data Archive side.
Result: With Basic authentication, the end user credential has been transferred to the PI Data Archive with NTLM.
Finally use PSE to change the authentication to Keberos and check in. Restart the PI Web API service.
Close internet explorer and reopen it to point to /system/configuration to check the authentication method. The prompt for credentials will look different from the Basic authentication one. Use the same credentials as you did for the Basic authentication scenario.
Try to connect to the same PI Data Archive again. You should not be able to connect. When you check on the PI Data Archive logs, you will see
Result: With Kerberos authentication, the delegation failed and the credential became NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON even though we logged on to PI Web API with the local account 'enduser'.
Demo with GMSA
Now we shall use the GMSA accounts that we have to make the last scenario with Kerberos delegation work.
Download the scripts for Kerberos enabled PI Data Archive and PI Web API here.
I will use the name 'untrusted' as the name of the GMSA account that is not trusted for delegation and 'trusted' as the name of the GMSA account that is trusted for delegation. Set the SPN for 'trusted' like such
setspn -s HTTP/trusted trusted
Once you have the scripts, run them like this
.\New-KerberosPIDA.ps1 -AccountName untrusted -ContainerName pik .\New-KerberosPWA.ps1 -AccountName trusted -ContainerName wak
The scripts will help you to create a credential spec for the container based on the GMSA that you provide to it. A credential spec will let the container know how it can access Active Directory resources. Then, it will use this credential spec to create the container using docker run command. It will also set the hostname of the container to be the same as the name of the GMSA. This is required because it is a current limitation with the implementation that might be resolved in the future so that you can choose your own hostnames.
Open internet explorer now with your domain account and access PI Web API /system/userinfo. The hostname is 'trusted'.
Make sure that ImpersonationLevel is 'Delegation'.
Now try to access the PI Data Archive. The hostname is 'untrusted'. You will be unable to access. Why? Because you haven't created a mapping yet! So let's use SMT to create a mapping to your domain account. After creating a mapping. Try again and you should be able to connect. The PI Data Archive logs will show that you have connected with Kerberos. You do not need any mapping to your PI Web API service account at all if Kerberos delegation is working properly.
Result: With Kerberos authentication method in PI Web API and the use of GMSAs, Kerberos delegation works. The end domain user is delegated from the client to the PI Web API container to the PI Data Archive container. We have successfully completed the double hop.
If this doesn't seem to work for you, one thing you can try is to check the setting for internet explorer according to this KB article.
KB01223 - Kerberos and Internet Browsers
Your browser settings might differ from mine but the container settings should be the same since the containers are newly created.
Alternative: Resource Based Constrained Delegation
A more secure way to do Kerberos delegation instead of trusting the PI Web API container GMSA for delegation is to set the property "PrincipalsAllowedToDelegateToAccount" on the PI Data Archive container GMSA. This is what we call Resource Based Constrained Delegation (RBCD). You do not have to trust any GMSAs for delegation in this scenario. You will still need two GMSAs.
Assuming that you have already created the two containers with the scripts found above. I will use 'pida' as the name of the PI Data Archive container GMSA and 'piwebapi' as the name of the PI Web API container GMSA.
.\New-KerberosPIDA.ps1 -AccountName pida -ContainerName pik .\New-KerberosPWA.ps1 -AccountName piwebapi -ContainerName wak
Execute these two additional commands to enable RBCD.
docker exec pik powershell -command "Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell" docker exec pik powershell -command "Set-ADServiceAccount $env:computername -PrincipalsAllowedToDelegateToAccount (Get-ADServiceAccount piwebapi)"
You will still be able to connect with Kerberos delegation from the client machine to the PI Web API container to the PI Data Archive container. In this case, the PI Data Archive container only strictly allows delegation from the PI Web API container with 'piwebapi' as its GMSA.
We have seen that containers are able to utilize Kerberos delegation with the usage of GMSAs. This is important for middleware server containers such as PI Web API. Here is a quick summary of the various results that we have seen.
|Authentication Mode
|No GMSA
|With GMSA
|NTLM with service account
|No reason to do this
|NTLM with local end user account
|No reason to do this
|NTLM with anonymous logon
|Kerberos delegation with domain end user account
The interesting thing is that Basic authentication can also have per user security with local end user accounts. But you will need to maintain the list of local users in the PI Web API container and the PI Data Archive container separately which is not recommended. The ideal case is to go with Kerberos delegation.

GigaOM just published a guest post by ScreenLight. The post, which has tips on what to do if Amazon Web Services decides to compete with you, isn't really related to video production. That being said, it has some tips on creating sources of enduring competitive advantage outside of pricing. Things to consider include, defining your unique value proposition, providing exceptional support across all customer touch points, and pricing based on value you provide rather than an anchor set by a competitor.
There are some parallels with the production industry where new competitors are using price as the lever to win business. Rather than getting into a price war that you can't win, a better course of action is to figure out how to provide unique sources of value to your customer and to communicate that value. Not everyone will be swayed, there are a number of people that have blinders on for anything besides price, but there are still clients out there who value much more.
Check out the article here.

The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah says the Islamist group would fire thousands of rockets into Israel and hit cities in the country's heartland in any future war.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah's comments came days after an eight-day Israeli offensive against Gaza ended with a truce.
Israeli aircraft launched some 1,500 strikes on targets linked to the Palestinian territory's Hamas rulers and other groups, while Gaza fighters fired roughly the same number of rockets into Israel. Some Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets targeted the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for the first time.
Nasrallah said in a speech in Beirut Sunday that Israel will face "thousands of rockets that will fall on Tel Aviv and other areas if it launches an aggression against Lebanon."
Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war in 2006.

text: For Jeff Dyck, an knowledgeable entrepreneur from the Canadian Prairie who now makes his home – and his small business property — in Las Vegas, Nev., good ideas have usually grown like wheat on a field. Having said that, throughout his prosperous business career, numerous of Dyck's greatest tips have simply been the outcome of trial and error. Take, as an instance, the LEO App. Dyck's brainchild, which was initially launched in Louisville, Ky., and is now, soon after just 1 year on the market, is taking over Las Vegas. It's a method to get great offers from local firms. You simply download the App, visit a LEO retailer, pick an provide you like and show your Smartphone to the cashier. It is a win-win: The retailer finds new business enterprise as well as the consumer gets loads of savings. It sounds basic sufficient, but Dyck will admit that it wasn't an notion that came to him like a bolt out in the blue. This one particular involved, trial and error, profit and loss in addition to a great deal of tweaking. "The concept of LEO is definitely an extension of a preceding organization that I owned," Dyck said. "However the old technologies was incredibly costly to create and maintain. The previous company essential computer software, hardware, a distribution network and consumer education. There was so much to it that the enterprise didn't operate out for the reason that we ran merely out of cash. And but, the notion has never ever changed. "Retailers need to have a various selection from conventional models of advertising. They need something with guaranteed results, one thing that provides analytics and anything that has the capability to develop virally. Social media has made major inroads in this space, even so ask any small enterprise ways to promote on Facebook, Twitter or Google and the majority of them are clueless. "So here we're. Speedy forward many years, thanks to the fact that Google and Apple mobile apps are now a staple in customers lives, my buddies at Google and Apple have taken care with the consumer education. I do not must explain what an app is or how it works. "I no longer have hardware challenges due to the fact just about absolutely everyone now includes a Smartphone," Dyck added. "And most importantly Apple and Google have taken care of my distribution difficulties. Mobile apps are very uncomplicated and economical to create." Granted, this really is new technology, but it is straightforward for anyone to use. The LEO App empowers shoppers and retailers in a way that other platforms couldn't do just before. There's no much more cutting coupons or carrying coupon books with you everywhere you go. Now, you simply open LEO in your iPhone or Android device and you get immediate savings. "All in all LEO does 3 very simple issues," Dyck mentioned. "First of all, it aids retailers to become additional lucrative. LEO is cost productive. It really is results driven mobile marketing that sends LEO customers to their door and not to their competitors' doors. No. two, it aids customers save dollars on their day to day demands by using the tool of their option, the Smartphone. And No. three, it helps people to earn an income by assisting retailers to turn out to be a lot more lucrative and consumers to save cash on their day to day wants. "The name of our organization is precisely what we do. We wanted to possess a local really feel in every single market place we have been in and we want all LEO customers to get Exclusive Gives. We perform with our retailers to make sure that we will send them a loyal, often developing client base but in return we want a improved deal than everybody else. Coupon Exclusive Presents or LEO was born." It sounds basic and it's very simple, but one particular wonders? Just after a single year inside the marketplace, Is LEO a going concern? "Well, we presently have eight workers with LEO," Dyck stated. "We anticipate to ramp up to 20 just before the finish of your year. Over the following to-to-three years we've budgeted to possess far more than 1,000 personnel in Las Vegas alone." Ideal now, Jeff Dyck's dream of producing LEO a household name all more than North America hasn't fairly manifested itself however. But because the thought spawns growth, specifically within the ever-competitive Las Vegas marketplace, the LEO App is probably to be the subsequent large issue. By Thomas Tilford

Being my third time attending, I feel like I have a good grasp on how to navigate the con. At the top of my list of things-to-do this year is attend lots of author readings and try and stay awake past 9:00pm so that I can go to the parties. I'm also happy to be a panelist this year. At Anticipations (Montreal) and Renovations (Reno) I delivered academic papers, but didn't want to go that route this year (which is good, seeing as there is no academic track as far as I can tell). While it is still possible that it might change (especially in terms of my fellow panelists), here is my draft panel schedule:
Thursday 3:00 - 4:30 The Alien as Metaphor
Movie aliens aren't real aliens; they're humans in disguise. What do movie and TV aliens tell us about us? Is it surprising that during the Cold War the enemy aliens were often from Mars... the "Red Planet?" Do the aliens of "Avatar" tell us something about how we exploit primitive cultures? Is "Paul" a variation of the "fan as Slan?" We have met the aliens and they are us.
Panelists: Daniel M.Kimmel, Eric Hayden, Jason Schachat, John G. Hemry/Jack Campbell, Me! (moderator)
Thursday 4:30 - 6:00 Should SF Be More Optimistic?
When authors talked about the slow pace of technological innovation, the technologists turned around and criticized science fiction for its lack of vision in recent years, saying SF authors spend too much time on dystopian visions like The Road, The Walking Dead, and the I, Robot film. What happened to the optimistic future of Star Trek? Are writers spending too much effort on worst-case scenarios instead of what might be accomplished? Is any of this the fault of readers, publishers, or media companies?
Panelists: Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, Me!, Katy Stauber, Lynda Williams ORU (moderator), Niall Harrison
Sunday 9:00 - 10:30 Fat People in Space
Based on our genre, there aren\'t any. Why not?
Panelists: Farah Mendlesohn (moderator), Julia S. Mandala, Me!, Petrea Mitchell
Sunday 3:00 - 4:30 Innerspace vs. Outerspace
Are the stars, or even the solar system, in humanity's future? Recent progress in genetics, neuroscience, computing, and nanotechnology has far outstripped progress in space exploration or travel. The problems that press on people and society the most - health care, aging, mental health, energy supplies, a damaged environment - have more to do with managing our planet than venturing into space. Should science fiction spend more time on the topics of inner space than outer space?
Panelists: Bill Higgins (moderator), Edward M. Lerner, Me!, Tad Daley
Overall, I am happy with the topics, but I wish that I had better time slots. I guess as a newbie to the SF community, I'm off to as good of a start as anyone, so I'm certainly not complaining. I do find the gender break down of the panelists interesting. For instance, there aren't any men listed on the "Fat People in Space" panel, and there are no women panelists on the "Alien as Metaphor" panel (except for me of course, but I'm listed as moderator). Gender parity is definitely something I will be paying closer attention to this year.
I hope that I will be able to reconnect with all of the cool people I met at previous cons, as well as get to know a whole lot more. I'm ready Chicago!

The second model was supported. That must be a record. The underlying cause is unclear. Both share distinct and separate ideas. Etch can draw quickly and accurately. Consider the mixed state case. These cards show a split view. The film earned a moderate profit. The churchyard remains in use. Each was individually designed to order. The reclamation plan was suspended. These were unusual for the time. All fonts use hanging monospaced figures. Big influence of east philosophy keygen and crack. Currency swaps support the currency. These letters add more detail. This remains the meeting record. There would be no room service. Most other design details were retained. This project lasted for many years. The purpose was to solve malleability. Abscesses usually cause throbbing pain. These booths also display student work. This waiting time is also random. Any help between riders is forbidden. Users can rank specific dishes. These entities exist outside linear time crack.
No further developments were ever made. The total production budget was. Dark to speed up the process. Agents communicate via channels. A print of the film exists. Striped awnings block direct sunlight. Accessories remain common for this model. Some further volumes followed. Epoxy are applied on the sample. No prisoners can attend. The police also began to specialize download crack 1. The show soon found stability. That project was never completed. Layman guilds add an amateur profession. This was a solo record. Each copy comes autographed. Many also report feeling more confident. The time origin is arbitrary. List excludes newsreaders and voice work. Sixteen faculty members teach the program. The cause of migrating was unknown. The music relates to each segment.
Others cause damage to agricultural crops. The project was not implemented. There was also a filter turret. A family that kills under contract. There the twists start. The expedition was a complete failure. The initial schedule was quarterly free crack. Found on mostly modern machine guns. To banish every trace of fascism. Government securities on the open market. Interior has very modernist plan. A vertical furrow is also present. Bracken needs additional control. Abdominal cramping may also be present. Guest lead vocals show full names. This process can be reversed. Draw up a written constitution. There is no cellular service. Control and dispute resolution. Trade in agricultural produce is active. The complete course is long. The trains operate on track. The stage was wide by deep. Budget cuts prevented further work keygen and crack. All use pulmonate snails as hosts. No visible chondrules in hand sample. An observer makes observations over time. A certificate program is also available. The tour lasted into the fall. This plan is currently cancelled.
Further field labor was required. The duo barely manage to escape. All transport is by car. A crenulate postmedial line present. The charge was absurd. The aperture has an oval shape. There are many model organisms. There is no veliger stage. There was also a filter turret crack or keygen. The charge was not without precedent. On display is a powder car. The strict definition is the model. This update included several improvements. Represented as hex value as stored. No award money is provided. The project stalled at that point. Also fielded by support personnel. Peas and chikpeas were also found. The reason is obscure or idiopathic. Work to improve the radar continued. This practice has not yet stopped. This system still remains in use download crack or keygen.
Further land releases are taking place. The plan is made of operations. The main character of the show. Earth beyond even wizardly repair. Cities are normally easy to capture. Fingerprints were found on the bulb. Centipede stings can cause severe pain. This review should be documented. The year brought another huge win. The pressure to cooperate increased. Broken jug seals were also found. Octopuses can replace lost limbs. Much research continues in this area. The plan almost works. Both were destroyed during launch. Early settlers found these forests useful. Billboard jazz album chart. The database remains in sorted order. Further expansion is planned. A review of the autoimmune approach download crack 1. Can use enzyme in powder. Most performances tour among these cities. Songs are often repeated in order. The church is roofed in lead. The list is not complete. The distributed control system was born. The categories vary in each award.
For a complete list click here. The tadpoles develop in the streams. Other analysts draw different conclusions you can download crack here. The route was consequently altered. Smith continued to perform solo. This work included lecture cycles. Both serve mainly holiday flights. House starts an environmental scan. No further reunion is planned. The route then turned east. The nice beaches attract many visitors. Allotted to the reserve. Others have a different view. The program has since been discontinued. Forged brackets support the guttering. The time capsule had remained intact. This was further tightened in. Ammunition was in short supply. Canoes are used to transport dances. The market today is approx.
This list will never be complete. This feeling permeates the entire record download crack and keygen. These movements share similarities. The larvae develop very quickly. The project was declined. Lead is a common environmental pollutant. The measure was not approved. An international day is not present. The structure measures and is tall. The depth of the frame varies. This plan had several advantages. Day to attend the theater alone. There was no press release. Grail is nowhere to be found. Bush win the election. The temple is presently in use. The launch was successful. Further branch lines were built.

My research engages the performance of Native Pacific Islander genders and sexualities, straddling Native studies and APIA studies to examine the political and cultural stakes of Native/Indigenous cultural performance and its relationship to emergent decolonization movements, settler-colonialism, and militarism in the Pacific. My book, Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance (Forthcoming University of North Carolina Press Spring 2018), explores the spaces where Native Hawaiians perform the routines of everyday life; the overlooked zones of the Hawaiian undercommons (punk clubs, drag shows, hip hop venues); and the officially sanctioned domains of Hawai'i culture industries (folk, regional theatre and music videos).
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and was a recipient of the Ford Foundation Postdoctoral and Dissertation Fellowships. During 2016-2017 I was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University in the Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration. I am Kanaka Maoli and was born and raised in Hawai'i.

Benefit Cosmetics Party Poppers Review
Benefit Cosmetics Party Poppers is Benefit's new Holiday 2015 Advent Calendar Countdown till Christmas! You might recall how thrilled I was with the Benefit Countdown to Love Advent Calendar from Benefit's Holiday 2013 Collection. I'm sorry but that thing was TOO CUTE (and too huge!).
This year Benefit slims things down, celebrating 12 days of Christmas versus the 24 from the original calendar. The calendar is also considerably smaller in size so it'll store easily, gift nicely, and won't take up a ton of room on your vanity or dresser should you wish to display it!
Warning, spoilers ahead!
This limited edition set plays a cute little song each time you pop open one of the doors to reveal one of the goodies beneath! As you can see it contains colorful, whimsical artwork with numbers marking each of the 12 nights of Christmas. Pop them open each day to countdown the Holiday season and gift yourself with a little beauty treat from Benefit like Porefessional Face Primer, Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain, Watt's Up, and many other fun Benefit goodies!
So what's inside?
Well don't scroll ahead if you hate spoilers!
You get a sampling of the following Benefit goodies:
- 0.25 oz The Porefessional Face Primer
- 0.14 oz Badgal Lash Mascara
- 0.08 oz Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain in Candy-Orchid
- 0.08 oz Ooh La Lift Under-eye Brightener
- 0.1 oz They're Real Mascara
- 0.08 oz High Beam Highlighter
- 0.3 oz Total Moisture Facial Cream

- 0.08 oz Watt's up! Highlighter
- 0.25 oz They're Real! Remover Eye Makeup Remover

I have to admit I LOVED last year's calendar but this year's is just as cute and way easier to store and gift. This is such a great gift for fans of Benefit or to introduce a teen to the world of Benefit.
It's literally a gift that keeps on giving for 12 solid days 🙂
You can snag your Benefit Cosmetics Party Poppers now at benefitcosmeitcs.com and Sephora.com and also at Ulta.com.

The renovation of the building, a copy of a Pompeii villa destroyed by the Vesuvius eruption in 79AD, cost $275m.
On display in Malibu are treasures from the late oil tycoon John Paul Getty's 44,000 pieces of ancient art.
But hanging over the re-opening are allegations that some of the museum's antiquities were looted.
Theft investigation
A former curator of the museum, Marion True, is on trial in Italy charged with plotting to receive stolen goods.
Both Ms True and the Getty deny the claims, which emerged from an investigation of a former gallery owner, Giacomo Medici, who was convicted in December 2004 of smuggling art.
On Friday, the director of the Getty Museum, Michael Brand, held a meeting in Rome with officials from Italy's culture ministry and police.
Italy is asking for the return of 42 artefacts, including a statue of Aphrodite which the Getty purchased at a cost of $18m in 1988, saying that they were acquired illegally.
According to a joint statement, both sides agreed to hold further talks on the issue.
Others implicated
Other museums have also been implicated in Giacomo Medici's dealings, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
The Getty Villa will act as companion to the modernist Getty Center in Los Angeles.
The colonnaded villa, built in the 1970s on a cliff-top overlooking the Pacific Ocean, now includes a new wing made of concrete and glass.
Prize draws at the museum include the Lansdowne Herakles, a larger than life statue of the god dating from AD125, found in Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, and the Statue of a Victorious Youth, a sculpture of an Olympic victor, one of the few surviving life-sized Greek bronzes.
Its re-opening has allowed the museum to return its much lauded collection of Roman, Greek and Etruscan art to public view after years in storage.
"We are so happy to be back at the villa, so happy to be looking at the objects on display after so long," antiquities curator Karol Wight said.
"It's been like sending your children off to school and only welcoming them back when they're in college," she said.
