S.D. Democrats Call for Subpoenas of Rounds, Daugaard, Other State Leaders Regarding EB-5
(NPN) -- South Dakota Democratic leaders today called on the legislative Government Operations and Audit Committee to issue numerous subpoenas to past and present high ranking Republican state officials and others in the so-called EB-5 Scandal.
Rep. Bernie Hunhoff from Yankton gave his list at a news conference in Sioux Falls.
"Today I join my fellow legislators to call on Government Operations and Audit Committee to subpoena Mike Rounds, Dennis Daugaard, Joop Bollen, and other individuals involved in the EB-5 the program and our economic development efforts, including, I think, Aberdeen attorney Jeff Sveen, probably the state auditor, the state treasurer, top economic development officials, the list could go on and on," Hunhoff said.
The Yankton Democrat and House Minority Leader says South Dakotans have a right to know what happened to funds the late Richard Benda is alleged to have taken and how the failed Northern Plains Beef plant in Aberdeen was funded with the federal visa program.
Hunhoff said the "crony capitalism" that the EB-5 scandal represents has been going on for a long time.
"These are really big issues that have gone back over a generation," Hunhoff said. "There's been alot of abuse and misuse of taxpayers' money going on for a long, long time, opportunities for cronyism, a great attempt by state government to manipulate the market place."
Hunhoff said he and the other Democratic leaders were disheartened to take the unusual step of calling for the subpoenas. He said, however, that politics can be a good thing when it is used to bring about change.

Ultimate Baseball Online beta Released On ESPN360 And ESPN.com
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet, PC, Sports,
ESPN today announced the launch of beta testing for the full-feature version of ESPN Ultimate Baseball Online (ESPN UBO) on ESPN360 - the company's customized broadband service. Fans with broadband capability will also be able to download the world's first massive multi-player online sports game from ESPN.com, the leading sports site. Previously, ESPN Spring Training, a limited-feature version of ESPN UBO, was available to fans on ESPN360 during its recent All Access free trial week. Among the enhancements included in the new version are enhanced graphics, new pitching and fielding practice, enhanced crowd reactions, and better artificial fielding intelligence. ESPN UBO will be offered for FREE to gamers until its full launch on July 2. Registration will be available on www.espn.com, www.espn360.com and www.ultimatebaseballonline.com.
The beta of ESPN UBO, developed by Netamin® Communication Corporation, gives gamers a first-person perspective to baseball gaming via real-time online experiences. In the game, fans and gamers compete online with and against other players in 3D virtual stadiums by controlling customized, personalized characters (avatars), playing a particular position, forming teams and leagues and playing against other ESPN UBO participants. Players control their avatar while batting, pitching, fielding, running, stealing bases and every other baseball action. Gamers can practice, play pick-up games, join or found their own teams, compete against rival teams, play in specialized tournaments, and win league championships in post-season play. After creating their own characters, gamers can build their skill level (player stats) through practice and successful play.
The beta version of ESPN UBO features a new graphics engine that runs at 60 frames per second and more than 100,000 polygons per frame - double the quantity of the previous version. Other visual enhancements include dynamic RGB lighting, soft-edged shadows, and natural reflections.
Now, can I ask where the fans are?
Nintendo's Revolution Begins Mid 2006
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Wii,
The word has slipped from Monolithic Systems that the Nintendo Revolution is slated to launch mid 2006. Monolithic systems is a company providing RAM chips to go along with NEC's memory for the Revolution. The word slipped durring an earnings conference for the company. There isn't much known about the Revolution since Nintendo has been keeping all information locked in Mario's basement along with the Virtual Boy. All we really know is that ATI and IBM will be providing key hardware and that it will be backwards compatible with the Gamecube (Does anyone still play Gamecube?) More information will be released at E3 next week for sure because Nintendo has finally stated that they will be discussing the Revolution there. Of course we will be there to bring you the information.
"Nintendo clearly does not want to be the last console maker to ship its next-gen system and as such the Revolution is likely to arrive around the same time as the PS3 if not sooner."

Google Buys Dodgeball.com
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: News,
This just goes to show that developing a unique idea that creates a community with a service that people can get behind can make you a success. Today, Google acquired its thirteenth third party company when they bought Dodgeball.com. If you are unfamiliar with Dodgeball's service, here is a rundown:
Dodgeball is a service designed to get you in face-to-face contact with friends, friends of friends, and even crushes. All that is required is a cell phone with text messaging. You sign up for an account and give Dodgeball a list of email addresses for your friends. These people become a part of your network, as do any friends that they recommend when they sign up. The fun begins when you are out and about. You simply send a text message to Dodgeball as follows:
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Message: @NameLocation
Now, Dodgeball is available cost-free in just about every major US city. So if I were doing this from Seattle, I would send a text message to firstname.lastname@example.com, and if I were at the Space Needle then my message would be "@Space Needle". Now Dodgeball goes to work. Any of my friends who are within a 10 block radius recieve an email and/or text message telling them "Your friend Andru is at Space Needle [address here]. Why not stop by and say hi?" It is simple a great meetup tool. Now, you can format your message in different ways so that instead of contacting your friends, it will send you back a list of friends of friends in the area. You can even just typ in a destination, and it will send you a message back telling you the address and cross streets. Google obviously aw the potential in this service, as have many of its users. If you live in a major US city, check them out at www.dodgeball.com.

Your email client can do a lot more than just display electronic messages sent to you from colleagues and friends. We take a look at a few ways to use email to save time, and bring you even more business, after the jump.

Dodgeball.com Acquired By Google
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Internet,
I have been messing around with Dodgeball.com for a couple of weeks in the Seattle area, and I think the service is pretty cool. I haven't done much more than test it, but I like the idea behind it. Apparently Google liked it to - so much so that they have acquired the company, making Dodgeball.com the thirteenth company that Google has picked up. If you are unfamiliar with Dodgeball's service, it is simple. Sign up is free, and you are then able to send a text message to firstname.lastname@example.com whenever you are somewhere that you want to meet people. For example, if I am at Pike's Place Market hanging out, I can text firstname.lastname@example.com with the message @pikes place. Now anyone on my contact list that happens to be in a 10 block radius will get an email and/or text message which says "Andru is at Pikes Place". Very cool. Dodgeball is available in most major cities. Congrats to Google for picking this one up.

British Scientists Anti-Gravity Machine
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
British scientists have put together an anti-gravity machine which has the ability to levitate heavy stones, coins, and other metals in the air. Using a powerful magnet, the anti-gravity machine uses diamagnetism, which essentially means that you can place non-magnetic object into a powerful magnetic field, which then causes the object to take on a weak magnetic force of its own. While the levitation technology isn't new, it has certainly never been at a point where it could lift objects like lumps of metal and heavy stones before. One step closer to that levitating Segway I have been wanting.

Fairfield Prep tops Wilton in boys lacrosse
Shots kept coming for the Fairfield Prep lacrosse team. The Jesuits' coach even wished they had finished a few more of them Wednesday.
Prep, the state's No. 2 team, still broke away from Wilton in the second quarter, beating the Warriors 16-9 at Tom Fujitani Field.
"This game was definitely a breakout game for our offense," said Jesuits senior Tim Edmonds, who had two goals and three assists.
Fairfield Prep (8-4) moved the ball around, withstood Wilton's first pushback in the first quarter and scored five in a row to take a 7-2 lead. It led 9-4 at the half.
"We had 25 shots in the first half. The one thing was we just didn't finish chances," Jesuits coach Chris Smalkais said. "I thought we should've finished a lot more opportunities."
They finished plenty: a game after scoring a season-high 17 against Amity, they nearly matched it against the Warriors (6-7).
"They're a good team, and we made a lot of mental errors," Wilton coach John Wiseman said. "The kids played hard. It didn't translate. A good team like Prep will capitalize on those mental errors."
Kevin Brown and Austin Sims scored four goals apiece for Fairfield Prep and Brown added an assist.
The Jesuits were up 2-0 92 seconds into the game. Wiseman called his first timeout. Ted Ottens won the draw, the Warriors set up in the Prep end for four shots, and the fourth went in for the first of Tom Hayes' three goals. Brendan Devane tied it three minutes later.
"We kind of answered back, which I was pleased with," Wiseman said. "Silly mistakes cost us."
The Jesuits scored the next five, capped by the second John Edmonds-from-Tim Edmonds goal of the game.
"Playing with my brother, we've got great chemistry," Edmonds said. "I've known Kevin (Brown) for years. Middies like Sims, he's a returning guy; (David) White and (Sean) Henry played great."
They had the ball quite a bit with help from senior Troy Foreit. Foreit finished roughly even on faceoffs with Wilton's Ottens, but Foreit controlled most of them early as the Jesuits built their lead.
"Troy went 50 percent against one of the top faceoff guys in the country," Smalkais said. "He's a converted defenseman. He committed himself to learning faceoff this year."
Ottens scored two Wilton goals himself directly off faceoff wins. The first ended that 5-0 Prep run.
"That kid's really good," Foreit said. "I tried to have a quick reaction time. He's really strong. I faced him all winter (at Chelsea Piers in Stamford)."
Wilton had good possession time in the third quarter but emerged no closer. Hayes' hat-trick goal was answered in 30 seconds by Burke Smith.
Mike Burns scored on a man advantage with 1:31 left in the period; quick Jesuits passes set up Sims for his third goal, making it 11-6 after three. It could've been worse for the Warriors, but David White scored just after the third-quarter buzzer.

Two-Year-Old Genius Accepted Into Mensa
Every parent likes to think their toddler is a genius. But the parents of two-year-old Anthony Popa Urria have the Mensa membership to back that up.
Still in diapers, Anthony has been admitted into the high IQ-society on the strength of his 154 IQ, which is just short of the scores of great thinkers Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawkins.
So what can a tot with an high IQ actually do? Well, Anthony, who is the youngest Canadian to ever be accepted by Mensa, speaks three languages (English, Spanish and Romanian). He can also count to a thousand, recite the alphabet backwards and complete complex puzzles. (All we were doing at that age was eating Play-Doh.)
But before Anthony's little head gets too big, he should know that he is actually the second two-year-old to be accepted into Mensa this year. In March, pint-sized American Emmelyn Roettger also got the nod. (Take that, Canada.)
What do you think? Should parents try to get their little kids into Mensa? Or does it just put unfair pressure on the youngsters?

Neville: FA Cup a priority for Everton
This season, the FA Cup is live on ESPN all the way to the final at Wembley. Click for details on how to subscribe
Everton captain Phil Neville believes the side that David Moyes selected to beat Cheltenham 5-1 reflected the manager's desire to win the FA Cup.
Everton reaped the rewards of fielding a virtual full strength side as they overcame League Two side Cheltenham in the third-round tie at the Abbey Business Stadium.
Nikica Jelavic opened the scoring after 12 minutes and Leighton Baines doubled Everton's lead seven minutes later from the penalty spot. Leon Osman made it 3-0 early in the second period and, after Russell Penn pulled one back, Seamus Coleman and Marouane Fellaini completed Everton's nap hand.
Moyes' side will now visit the winners of next week's Sunderland-Bolton replay at the Stadium Of Light in the fourth round.
Neville told ESPN: "He (Moyes) wants to win the FA Cup and I think that is a sign with the team he picked. He could have rotated the team. We have a game a week until the end of the season. I think he wanted to keep the momentum going. We are on a good run of form, good confidence."
Neville added: "Full credit to Cheltenham. I think these cup games are all about attitude. It was relatively straightforward in the end."
Osman, who was voted man of the match, added: "You need to go through. It's the FA Cup, it's important - and it's important you come to places like this and go through and we've done that."
Of their potential fourth round opponents, Osman said: "You are always looking for a home draw but we are going to have to go away to one of those teams which will be difficult, but we are looking to go as far as we can in the competition."
Moyes was also pleased with his side's performance, telling ESPN: "It was a tough game for us at the start, but overall it was a good job well done.
"We've not scored a lot of goals like that. Hopefully that will help us - it is something we need to try and improve on in the second half of the season. Whoever we play is going to be a really tough game for us."
Cheltenham manager Mark Yates was proud of his League Two charges but admitted there was a huge gulf between the teams.
He said: "I thought the timing of the goals took the wind out of our wings. Everton were too strong a team and were too good for us. It shows what class they have. He gave us respect but also gave the competition respect."

Fall of Nargothrond
This article or section needs expansion and/or modification. Please help the wiki by expanding it.
|Fall of Nargothrond
|Conflict: War of the Jewels
|Date: F.A. 495[1][2]
|Place: Nargothrond
|Outcome: Victory for Morgoth; Utter destruction of Nargothrond
All inhabitants killed or enslaved
The Fall of Nargothrond was the overthrow and destruction of the city by that name, wrought by Glaurung and his hordes, in F.A. 495.
[edit] Prelude
Since its foundation by Finrod, the Elves of Nargothrond had pursued a secretive war against Morgoth, hunting their enemies by stealth and ambush rather than going to open war. When Túrin was led there by Gwindor, though, he counselled a different strategy to Orodreth, who had by that time succeeded his brother Finrod as King in Nargothrond. Orodreth therefore built a bridge from his doors across the Narog, and went to open war with Morgoth.
This was a foolhardy strategy. In centuries of searching, Morgoth had been unable to find the fortress of Nargothrond, but now not only was its location revealed, but the new bridge removed the defense of the River Narog. Glaurung was sent out from Angband with an army of Orcs to capture the city.
[edit] The Battle
The army of Nargothrond went out to meet Glaurung on the field of Tumhalad, some miles north of the citadel. The Elves there were wiped out, and the folk of the city instead found the Dragon and his Orcs crossing their bridge and entering the citadel. These people, including Orodreth's daughter Finduilas, were captured by the Orcs and driven northward. It is unknown if any soldiers remained as garrison within the city.
Coming late to the sack were Túrin and some few other survivors of the Battle of Tumhalad. At the sight of the Dragon, Túrin's companions fled, but Túrin himself was placed under Glaurung's dragon-spell, and forced to watch as the captives were driven away. Then Glaurung released Túrin, knowing the evils this would cause, and settled to enjoy his newly-sacked domain.

What If Congress Doesnt Raise The Debt Ceiling
What If Congress Doesn't Raise The Debt Ceiling?
Related Links
President Obama and congressional Republicans have both drawn a line in the sand over the upcoming series of budget battles, the first of which is whether Congress will raise the country's debt limit — which is expected to hit as early as Feb. 15.
The president is refusing to negotiate, imploring Congress to «do its job.»
«They will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy,» he recently said of Republicans. «The full faith and credit of the United States of America is not a bargaining chip.»
House Republicans, meanwhile, will hold a vote Wednesday that, if it eventually passes both the House and Senate, would raise the debt ceiling for about three months, giving lawmakers some time to figure out how to avoid default. However, while kicking the can down the road offers a brief respite from one fiscal hurdle, there are still two others that Congress is facing.
In addition to the debt ceiling, lawmakers also have to deal with averting $1.2 trillion in self-imposed automatic spending cuts, or sequester, that takes effect on March 1, and they'll also have to pass a bill to extend government funding, which currently expires at the end of March.
As both sides are worlds apart on all three issues, any failure to reach an agreement over three budget-related emergencies in the next few months could have dire consequences for your pocketbook.
The Debt Ceiling
The primer: Barring congressional passage of a debt ceiling increase, the $16.4 trillion debt limit is expected to be hit between mid-February and early March. It is a discretionary number set by Congress on the amount the Treasury is allowed to borrow to pay bills already incurred. (After difficult negotiations, Congress raised it in 2011 by $2 trillion.) Republicans want at least one dollar of spending cuts for every dollar the debt ceiling is lifted. Mr. Obama, however, argues that spending cuts are a separate discussion, since the debt limit has nothing to do with future spending. He recently described it this way: «You don't go out to dinner, then eat all you want and then leave without paying the check.»
The impact: The Treasury would be able to pay only the amount that comes into the Treasury each day from tax receipts, fees and market transactions. Steve Bell with the Bipartisan Policy Center said the in the month of February, the Treasury would be expected to pay out $175 billion more worth of expenses than it takes in. That means a lot of bills — 12 percent of the Gross Domestic Product — won't be able to be paid.
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner outlined some specifics of things that could go unpaid. «These include payments for Social Security; Supplemental Security Income; Medicare; Medicaid; national security needs, including military salaries, military retirement, veterans' benefits, and defense contractors; income tax refunds; federal employee salaries and retirement; law enforcement and operation of the justice system; unemployment insurance; disaster relief; goods and services sold to the government under contracts with small and large businesses; and many others,» he wrote.
It would be difficult to predict which receipts would be paid and which would not, Bell said, noting that the Treasury Department processes between two and three million transactions each day, all of them computer-generated. The federal agencies, Bell said, submits its invoices to the Treasury and the Treasury disburses funds upon receipt. It's a computer-generated first-come, first-serve system and not possible to prioritize which invoices should be paid.
While the country has never defaulted, economists and analysts warn of dire consequences because it means a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace and the economy as a lot of people will go unpaid. Stan Collender, who has worked for the House and Senate Budget Committees, said default would create «a lot of uncertainty» in the marketplace and cause «hardships» for Americans.
It's not just government workers who might not receive their paychecks, but those who rely on Social Security, food stamps, disability, and Medicare. Additionally, for example, a small-business contractor doing repair work on a federal building in Iowa might not receive payment for work completed. That could make it difficult for him to pay his employees who worked the construction job.
Bell said default would have dire trickle-down consequences, including «a serious recession» caused by a situation where it's «very difficult to put the yolk back in the egg.»
Adding another wrinkle to the equation is that Congress and the president would be operating under two contradictory laws. The Impoundment Control Act, which was passed to ensure the president doesn't pick and chose what government agencies and programs he wants funded, requires the president and agencies to pay its obligations, but the law Congress passed in 1917 creating the debt ceiling says Treasury can't spend if it's borrowing limit has been tapped. It's a legal battle that hasn't yet happened but one completely possible if the debt ceiling is not lifted.
And because of the impact on the markets, workers with retirement plans would see the consequences as international investors are likely to loose confidence in the American financial system. Both Bell and Collender predict international investors would loose confidence in U.S. securities and sell, causing interest rates to skyrocket and markets to plummet.
«This has the potential of impacting the whole financial system,» Collander said.
The Sequester
The primer: The sequester is the ten-year, $1.2 trillion spending cut that would cut defense spending by 10 percent and domestic spending by about eight percent. It was the result of an agreement between President Obama and congressional leaders and was meant to be so hard to stomach that Congress would come up with an alternate plan to reduce the deficit. So far, it hasn't. It was supposed to go into effect on January 2, but was extended for two months as a result of the so-called «fiscal cliff» deal.
The impact: Much of the opposition was voiced from the Pentagon and defense contractors who say it would disrupt operations and leave contractors uncertain about the future of its contracts. But the domestic economy would also be impacted. A Congressional Research Service report said that as many as 2.1 million jobs would be lost should the sequester be implemented.
Additionally, states and localities would be impacted by the sequester. Education funding would be cut, as would money for community block grants, nutrition program for women and children and public housing programs. About one-third of state funding comes from the federal government and 18 percent of states' grant dollars are federally funded, according to a report released by Pew Center for the States.
The Continuing Resolution
The primer: The continuing resolution, also known inside the Beltway as the CR, is a mechanism passed by Congress to keep money flowing, keeping the government open. Because Congress was unable to pass the dozen appropriations, or funding, bills before the new fiscal year, which began October 1, Congress passed a CR to keep the government running. It will expire March 27.
If Congress or the president uses the CR as a bargaining tool to invoke policy preferences, such as reducing spending, cutting Social Security or raising taxes, then Congress could risk a government shutdown.
Although there have been numerous close calls in recent years, the last government shutdown was during the Clinton administration in 1995 and it was the country's longest. Lasting 21 days, Mr. Clinton and Congress battled over government spending and budget priorities.
The impact: While the impacts of not raising the debt ceiling are severe, a government shutdown appears mild in comparison. It could impact hundreds of thousands of government workers and disrupt people's vacation plans, but it would largely spare broader, dire impacts on the economy — other than continue to erode the market's confidence in Washington.
To explain, during a government shutdown, all non-essential government workers are furloughed. In the 1995 shutdown, the Congressional Research Service said 284,000 workers were told not to come to work. In a previous shutdown, earlier that year, 800,000 workers were impacted. Vacations would be impacted because national parks would not open and passports would not be issued.
But with a government shutdown, any government activity that «protects life and property» must remain in operation. For instance, air traffic controllers stay on the job and federal prisons stay guarded. But, one area of contention during a government shutdown revolves around entitlement recipients. Because programs like Social Security and Medicare are part of the mandatory spending part of the budget, a government shutdown does not impact those payments. However, the thousands of government workers who issue those checks or answer the phones to help recipients change their address or sign up for the programs, could be considered nonessential, therefore delaying disbursement of checks and help with services.
Government workers who are considered essential to life and property would be expected to come to work and once the government is up and running, Congress has the ability to approve retroactive pay, which would enable government workers, including the furloughed ones, to receive pay lost due to the lapse in funding.
As Republicans and Democrats spar over spending, taxes and the debt ceiling, the economic impacts have consequences that, once again, are in the hands of Washington's politicians.

Another post from my blog: http://www.brainhulklogicsmash.blogspot.com/
Sunday I was reading the local paper when I ran across the following Q&A column by Billy Graham.
Faith must be nurtured to thrive
Greetings all!
I haven't posted on TA for a while but have been lurking the site and enjoying everyone's videos and blogs. Regrettably, my free time has been at a premium, and jumping in to discussions right at the deep end is what has ultimately suffered. That said, I've recently decided to try my hand at blogging as a stress outlet, and to put my usual ramblings and reactions into written words. My most recent posting was of a theological nature, so I figured I'd share it with…

What could be done is a virus. Someone makes it, hides in an isolated and air-tight facility, and waits a few years. By this time the world will have perished.
Anybody ever read Stephen King's "The Stand"? Much similar to that except that it would not be an accident.
The United States maintains nuclear weapons to "deter, dissuade, and defeat" a range of immediate and potential conventional, nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons threats. Still, the United States has pledged not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states that are members of the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), except if attacked by such a state associated or allied with a nuclear-armed state. At the same time, successive administrations have maintained a policy of "strategic ambiguity" by refusing to rule out nuclear weapons use in response to biological or chemical weapons attacks.
Either way, I have to agree, the world will not ever be ruled by means of force again. I do believe that someone might make the world totally dependant on them from a economical perspective and through this power, rule the world.

California Judge Orders Accused Criminal to…Read and Write Book Reports?
A California judge has prosecutors scratching their heads after she allowed what they say is a dangerous criminal to remain free before trial as long as he reads at least an hour a day and writes book reports.
Otis Mobley Jr., 23, and two friends allegedly tried to sell a grenade launcher to an undercover federal agent in March. When the agent showed up to complete the purchase, the three men held him at gunpoint and tried to rob him, at which point other agents swooped in.
Prosecutors say Mobley's criminal past and substance abuse make him a flight risk and a danger to the community, and they'd asked US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to deny bail and keep him locked up pending trial.
However, she upheld a ruling of a lower judge and ordered Mobley to be released to the custody of his grandmother on a $150,000 bond. She also ordered him to wear an ankle monitor with GPS tracking, and to read an hour a day and spend at least 30 minutes daily writing book reports.
But he can't just read whatever he wants — Rogers says she'll provide a reading list for Mobley as he awaits trial.

Perhaps, like me, you hear the words "sex addict" and roll your eyes. But sometimes you hear about something that totally changes your attitude. Even if, yes, it's called "Confessions of a Toxic Bachelor."
I had exactly this reaction when I started Casper Walsh's tell-all in the Independent. Great, I thought. Another laddish tale of conquests and self-indulgence played off with Duchovny-esque excuses and crocodile tears. As women, we've grown cynical about what often seems a very convenient disorder. (Maybe not just women - when I raised the subject with my boyfriend, his response was "bullshit. That's just code for infidelity.") And, yes, the author initially comes off like your typical "I'm honest, that's all that matters" type so common in the world of the first person.
I'm sensitive; to people, places, sounds, everything. Discovering how to use this sensitivity to my advantage was key to getting what I wanted with women. I'd walk up to the best-looking woman in the street and nervously start talking. I'd be exactly how I felt: fundamentally shy, sweet and honest. The threat of humiliation and rejection was intoxicating. What truly disturbed me was my ability to use my honesty to get so many women into bed under the guise that I was interested in them long term. Back then it was never going to be anything other than sex...I got blamed for my behavior. Blacklisted as a "typical bloke". "You're all the bloody same." I was confronted, shouted at, slapped, punched, threatened with a shotgun, a handgun and an oversized knife. All it did was make the hit of success that much sweeter. I was always clear at the beginning of each encounter: "I'm not available for a relationship, I like you, think you're gorgeous, smart and I want to sleep with you." It never ceased to amaze me how often this worked.
We hear about the author's many conquests, his unhealthy relationships and dead-end affairs. I was getting irritated, and then I came to this: "I objectified women in bed, in magazines and on the screen. There was a lurking sense of the absence of morality and human decency in my behavior but as long as I kept a constant stream of women in my life, the potentials, actuals and the fantasies, I could keep the creeping demons of guilt and shame at bay." That sentence stopped me cold - it seemed, in those lines, that Walsh had stumbled onto something fundamental - not just about sexual addiction, but about our society.
You can read his journey for yourself; suffice it to say, reality comes to roost and he realizes he has A Problem. He begins the truly agonizing process of recovery - and if, like me, you continue to harbor skepticism about the condition's validity, this may help lay it to rest. It may not be Trainspotting, but the struggles Walsh recounts are very real, very painful, and very deep-seeded.
I carried on going to the support groups; made friends with people I would normally cross the road to avoid and began to look deeper into why I'd been running so hard for so long. My addiction to sex was, in part, my way of dealing with the abuse I experienced when I was 12 by a man old enough to be my father when my real father was in prison. I'd buried this under the sincere belief that because I was consenting I had no justifiable complaint – another barrier of denial. I contacted the police and went through excruciating interviews in a bid to track down my abuser. We never found him. The process was enough to lay the ghost to rest. ...Today, I put as much energy into my recovery as I did my addictive sexual behaviour. I go to my recovery meetings weekly. I attend a men's group, have mentors and mentor others. I work with sex offenders and help lead the recovery meetings that, in a nutshell, saved my life. It is still very hard work at times. But most of the time, I love it.
He ends the piece happily married and stable, even volunteering with sex offenders. It's a triumphant story, albeit a sobering one. As he says, "sex was a separate, dark and destructive part of me, set up as a child to keep me safe and separate from a world I saw as dangerous. At last, I'm integrating my sexuality into my life in a way that is boundaried, healthy and genuinely loving." This is no wink-wink tale of "what's a guy to do?" but rather an indication of the way abuse can scar. I know I'll give the subject more thought - and judge more harshly when people try to confuse this with mere self-indulgence.

The first time Marc Webb directed a film, just six years ago, there were rarely more than a couple dozen people on set. Outside of a group of Hollywood insiders, no one had any idea what the film, titled "(500) Days of Summer" and budgeted at $7 million, was about, nor did they much care. One highlight of filming came when Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed karaoke.
At a midtown Manhattan premiere last week for Webb's new movie, a different scene unfolded. Pop superstars like Pharrell and Alicia Keys performed. More than 1,000 guests circulated in a giant event space after seeing two hours of 3-D effects come at them with the force and velocity of a pickup truck.
The film was "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." It cost, depending on whom you believe, a bit more than $200 million or well over $250 million. It involved building a massive replica of Times Square. More than 11,000 extras were employed. The Williamsburg Bridge was nearly shut down.
Seeking fresh blood, superhero-minded studios have been looking outside the traditional action-director pool for several years now. But they've rarely looked so far outside it as Sony Pictures did with Webb, who made one feature — a tender character piece about one man's breakup that turned into an indie breakout — before being given, at the wizened age of 36, the keys to one of the biggest franchises in town.
"When I was a kid I watched 'Dead Poets Society.' It was my favorite movie. You know, 'Carpe Diem. Call the girl,'" he said, explaining why he made an unexpected career leap. "And I became addicted to not knowing how to get out of something, to biting off more than I can chew."
Last week Webb was at a hotel bar in New York, a city he lives in part-time and tries to capture on-screen in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," the Andrew Garfield-Emma Stone sequel that isn't so much set to open in theaters Thursday night as take up residence in them.
He looked surprisingly fresh given that he had spent the better part of the last month on a global publicity tour that would make the Rolling Stones jealous, the helmer as circus-troupe leader. In Germany there were the comparisons of the film to Sept. 11; in Italy, many-faceted questions about the love story. The Japanese couldn't get enough of the comic-book mythology.
The night before, Webb had showed the film to a U.S. audience for the first time, at the premiere, bringing Jamie Foxx, Garfield and Stone up to the front of the theater where they spontaneously began dancing. The road can do strange things.
Webb is one of the least likely of Hollywood's growing class of superhero directors (he will also direct the third "Amazing Spider-Man," and helmed the first as well) not only because of the speed with which he ascended to the group but because of his persona — a boyish, if occasionally wisecracking, Wisconsinite with a penchant for musical theater and a tendency to be visibly moved by things that usually only visibly move Sundance drama directors.
Employing a slick visual style that conceals a soft emo center, Webb makes the new movie bigger than the first in every way. There are longer and louder action scenes as the hero swings off buildings and over bridges and through massive electrical power stations (shot on multiple occasions, for the first time in five Spidey movies, on New York locations). There is a complex network of villains that includes Foxx as Electro, Paul Giamatti as Rhino and Dane DeHaan, in a potentially career-making turn, as Harry Osborn–turned-Green Goblin.
The movie also paradoxically aims for a deeper level of romantic resonance and emotional quiet than "Amazing Spider-Man," and indeed than most superhero movies. Spider-Man must foil the villains but also, as the self-deprecating Peter Parker, fight an uphill battle to win back Gwen Stacy (Stone), whom he's alienated for noble but tragic reasons, and navigate a conflicted relationship with his Aunt May (Sally Fields).
Webb says he actually felt he had the most control in the action sequences — they're planned-out and technical and so long-in-the-making that studio executives tend to get less involved. But his innovations lie in those scenes of love and its obstacles — in exploring, really, the subtle heartbreak of the everyday.
"Studios sometimes think a relationship in a movie like this is about two good-looking people ogling at each other, and it's not," he said. "It's about finding a deep, tectonic emotional component of what it is to fall in love, how deep and special it is," he said, "and how love can also sometimes walk away."
He added, "I want people to have the emotional experience of feeling what the characters are feeling, not just give them a shorthand."
An English major who grew up thinking he'd be an engineer (his father is a mathematician and his mother worked in a lab), Webb directed lots of music videos in his 20s. After turning down numerous feature opportunities, he tackled "(500) Days"--a movie whose complex scenes and structure he shot in just several weeks--because it seemed like a natural transition, a project that took him into the more supple aspects of performance and humanity he appreciated from stage drama but also used some of the stylization techniques he learned on videos.
If that combination isn't enough to distinguish Webb from his tent-pole peers, he also has a love of musicals dating back to his days in high school and at the University of Wisconsin. At one point not long after the success of "(500) Days" he attached himself to direct a film adaptation of "Jesus Christ Superstar."
"Every so often he'll break into some famous musical, and you can tell, you can just tell," said Avi Arad, the longtime "Spider-Man" producer and gatekeeper, who also calls Webb "a hugger, and I like huggers, because they carry emotion on their sleeves."
Matt Tolmach, the former head of production at Sony who now also serves as "Spider-Man's" producer, remembers when Webb came in to meet with him and Sony chief Amy Pascal. They were interviewing directors for "Moneyball," the film they would eventually hand to Bennett Miller, and Webb was one of the finalists. The director quickly began talking about, of all things, the rotation and flight of the baseball.
"There was something so brilliant and nerdy and sweet about him," Tolmach said. "It was like we were listening to Peter Parker." Webb was hired for "Spider-Man" shortly after.
Webb can also allow his English major self to come out, offering in the interview an elaborate explanation of a clock-tower image in the new film by calling it "a visual reassertion of the theme."
That makes for a strange contrast with a scene in a large editing suite on the Sony lot in March. Surrounded by a dozen technical specialists, a Yankee cap-clad Webb sits in the middle of the room waving a laser pointer. A Times Square explosion, fast and flashy in the movie, is witnessed here in freeze-frame, like a Lite-Brite-themed piece of video art. Webb tells his staff he likes the visual "volume" in one shot, and asks for more "depth" in another.
The editing room has been a busy place, filled not just with effects experts but studio executives who are intensely focused on their most lucrative franchise, especially after some commercial duds last year. There have been many discussions about the tone of the film. Webb has won some and lost some, with perhaps the biggest triumph the retention of a nearly three-minute conversation toward the end of the film in which Aunt May talks about coping with death.
On this day there is a sense of quiet order but also signs of how long this can all take. "I've been to so many wrap parties for this movie I've lost track," Webb said.
Back in New York last week there was, at last, a party that marked the end. An implicit question, though, hung in the room: Can tender romance and big pyrotechnics really coexist?
In a moment of vulnerability rare in sound bite-happy Hollywood, Webb explained why he tried. "After the first one I felt like I had more to prove. I didn't feel like I mastered it. I didn't think the action scenes were as good as they could have been," he said.
He paused. "But I worked hard on all of this. I want to make the action scenes not just bigger but better. And I want to keep finding the romance and the soul, not just between the action scenes but within them."

Food is embedded into our everyday lives and our culture. It becomes familiar to our senses, and linked to our memories.
I would say I used to take this food memory for granted, not realizing how intertwined food is in our lives and memories. But now, more than ever, I realize how so many memories can be tied to one meal.
My mom made a great many delicious meals, and I always looked forward to eating each one. However, there was one that my mom made, I'd like to think especially for me, but let's face it, all of us kids looked forward to it. My mom would make Bo Nhung Dam for us when she knew we were coming to visit, or is she thought I was getting too skinny, b/c she knew I would devour it and then some.
I only ever like the way my mom made it. I've come close to getting a good broth, and enjoy it, but still trying to find the perfect ratios to get it exactly the way my mom used to make it.
{Bo Nhung Dam – Beef Dipped in Vinegar} serves about 4-6
- 3 – 16oz cans chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1/8 cup butter
- 1 – 16oz canned pineapples, drained (you can definitely use fresh)
- 1/8 cup vinegar, or to taste
- 1 can of Budweiser beer, any beer would work, but my mom always used Bud
- 1lb thinly sliced beef – round eye beef or any other lean beef
- 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- fine vermicelli noodles
- rice paper, i prefer 'Ba Co Gai (Three Ladies) Brand
- 1 Head of Leafy Green Lettuce, wash and torn
- 1 large cucumbers, cut into matchsticks
- Bowl of water
- optional, spinach, enoki mushrooms, squid, abalone, or anything really, that'd you want to put in it.
- Bowl your noodles according to the package. Drain and set aside.
- Pour chicken brother into a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat. Add the butter, stir occasionally to combine.
- Add the sliced onions and pineapples. Bring to a boil and then reduce to medium heat
- Add vinegar. I love vinegar, but tend to add a bit more, so use this time to taste test and add to your taste. Let it simmer for about 5 -10 minutes
- Arrange the remainder of your raw ingredients out on the table.
- Transfer your pot of brother to a table top burner. Pour the can of beer in, bring to a rolling boil
- You're now ready to dip your beef in the vinegar broth.
- While the goodies are boiling, dip the rice paper in a bowl of water to hydrate it. No need to drench it for too, just make sure it gets dipped in the water quickly.
- Layering technique: Rice paper, lettuce, cucumber, noodles, then the cooked toppings: beef, shrimp, additional veggies.
- Fold both sides towards the middle, and roll forward. Sorry those directions are vague, but it seems like everyone has their own rolling technique, find what works for you.

|Episode Description
|Thursday, May 23, 2013 - 2:00 AM
"Mr. Selfridge, Part 8"
This mini-series is a dramatization of the real-life story of Harry Gordon Selfridge, the flamboyant and visionary American founder of the famous London department store that revolutionized the modern shopping experience.

Twas the night before Christ*mas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...
... save for some zombies.
Some of you mentioned you'd like to see this, so I thought I'd post. Enjoy the carnage...
A mere day after all Laporte f*orces pull out of the Bemidji area, three Laporte Helghasts (the Heavies) await at Fugates Station in order to save Laporte ambassadors Spike and Lady from enemy hands. According to intel from King Dillon, a representative from the Immortal Empire and two of his trusted soldiers will be bringing them back to Fugates Station in return for safe transporation back to the Immortal ship hanging over the planet's atmosphere.
In charge of the small group is Captain Badass (an expert with dual-weapons), and Sgt. Hancock, who is in charge of communications. The third man, an alien Hunter, is armed with a plasma blaster.
Fugates has undergone major transformations since the last battle there, namely the walls and ceiling being removed, presumably because building materials were needed elsewhere. Fugates Station is now merely a waypoint for Laporte f*orces, and also a point of defense along Hwy 71, which serves as a major means of transportation between Laporte and Bemidji.
The sound of rapid gunfire suddenly causes the three soldiers to turn their attention to the southwest. Whom has fired their weaponry?
Ohhhh shit...
Warhead emerges from hiding, carrying the Manly-Fuckin-Mini-Gun in his hands, followed by his Immortal Bitch and Corporal Dogmeat. IB is wielding a camcorder and binoculars, and Dogmeat a sighted speargun and radio, handcrafted in order to get back in contact with the Immortal ship heading towards their position.
Between them are the Laporte ambassadors, Spike and Lady, seemingly unharmed and in good spirits.
"Emperor Warhead, it seems you're a man of your word," Captain Badass says, weapons held at the ready. "Come aboard and we'll take Spike and Lady into our protection."
"A very small waypoint you have here," Warhead remarks as he and his men bring Spike and Lady up the ramp. "Are you not concerned for your own safety here?"
"We have our orders," the Hunter replies.
"Now then, as I understand it, you are awaiting transportation from the Immortal ship that has come to pick you up?"
"They have yet to coordinate our position," Warhead replies to Captain Badass. "Once they do so, we'll be teleported off-world and out of your hairs. Your ambassadors have been unharmed... they were actually quite friendly."
"Yes, well, we also have an extraction team on the way as well..."
"Uh... guys?" IB asks, looking towards the west.
From the west approach three clearly undead monstrosities. Apparently two police officers tried to pull over an out-of-control biker and got more than they bargained for.
"There's more from the north," the Hunter speaks up. Three pirate cosplayers slowly stumble forward, two of them twins, led by Captain Hook.
And to the east, three turned-Brittanians and the redneck who turned them shamble towards Fugates Station.
"Hmmm... brings back memories of Brik-Toria," says Warhead.
"Sir, we still have five minutes until extraction can come and pick us up!"
"We'll just have to hold 'em off, men," Captain Badass tells Hancock. "Emperor Warhead... will you stand with us?"
"Really? I've got nothing better to do at the moment..."
With that, Warhead and his men take positions, Warhead towards the east, Corporal Dogmeat to the west, and IB to the north.
The Corporal's first speargun shot flies true, smashing the biker zombie back into one of the undead cops. Both are still alive, however, as is evident by their still-madly twitching limbs.
The Hunter brings the ramp up to prevent the pirate zombies from climbing right up towards them. It won't hold them off completely, however; they can climb up straight onto Fugates Station quite easily, even though it will take them time to do so.
Warhead opens fire with the MFMG...
... and completely obliterates a zombie that stumbled into range.
"What's behind us, in the center?" Corporal Dogmeat asks as Captain Badass joins him at his side.
"An explosive. One of the artifacts we've dug up from our mining operations."
"... I see," Dogmeat replies, firing his speargun again.
He misses by a small margin.
"Let me show you how it's done, kid."
Two well-placed shots from Captain Badass blow the zombie's skull to bits.
"Nice shooting!"
The enemy's at the gates, quite literally. The Hunter takes aim with his plasma weapon. At this close range, what can happen?
Despites its injuries, the mutilated zombie begins to crawl back towards its attacker.
"Evac, how long before pickup? We've got hostiles approaching from three sides!"
"A few more minutes, Hancock, we've just gotten into the air!"
Out of frustation, Hancock aims his pistol at the closest zombie and fires.
His shot is true, but it doesn't kill the undead revenant. He does manage to knock it down though and buy some time.
Warhead continues to unload on the approaching corpses. He aims a little too low, however, and only manages to rip up a small portion of the ground in front of the zombie coming straight towards him.
"Hey... what's in the box?" Dogmeat asks.
"Ammunition, mostly, but not a lot. We weren't expecting trouble from you guys."
"Well, I've got an idea. Let's push it down and make a barrier, so these guys will have to move around it!"
The Immortal Bitch unleashes a surprise on the twin zombies from the north: her camcorder is actually the outer casing for a high-caliber pistol! She fires and manages to catch one of the twins by surprise, but fails to kill him, merely sending him spinning towards his fellow cosplayer.
"Seriously, guys, it's getting a little hairy out here!"
"Just a few more minutes, Hancock, we're almost there!"
Hancock grits his teeth under his helmet, aims, and pulls the trigger.
Turning around and expecting an ammo box to be waiting for him, Hancock is enraged to see the box lying on the ground with two hungry corpses marching towards them.
While he throws a temper-tantrum, Spike begins loudly barking and growling at the zombie that Hancock shot earlier, which has regained its footing and begins its slow march yet again.
"Got my back?" Captain Badass asks.
"Copy that," Dogmeat replies, the two of them ignoring Hancock's wild flailing and gesturing.
Captain B.A. leaps into the air, twirling head over heels--
And lands right behind the two zombies.
He easily dispatches one of them with two well-placed shots to the head.
The Hunter finishes off the disembowled zombie.
Warhead rips into the zombie that now stands directly before him. At this range, he can't possibly miss!
He doesn't, and completely shreds the undead into dog chow. However, at that moment, the MFMG's barrels freeze up: Warhead's been firing the weapon for too long, and the minigun has overheated! Some tinkering will be needed in order to get it back into working condition, as soon as it cools down.
IB joins Dogmeat and opens fire with her camcorder-pistol, only to have the jury-rigged weapon completely fall apart when she pulls the trigger. Apparently she hadn't tested the firing-mechanism properly before arrival.
Dogmeat attempts to help out, firing his speargun at the biker zombie. He misses.
And instead the spear slices into Captain Badass's shoulder .
Spike and Lady both hold the line and threaten the zombie that now stands before them. But does he really want to eat them? Maybe he just really likes dogs? He is smiling...
Corporal Dogmeat doesn't have time to regret firing upon Captain Badass. The biker zombie finally reaches upwards and--in a stunning critical--bites into his lower half and tears him apart at the waist.
The Hunter joins Spike and Lady on the eastern side. He takes aim, and fires.
At point-blank range, the zombie is knocked back, but isn't killed. Boy, these guys are thick-headed!
Sgt. Hancock risks life and limb in order to retrieve ammunition for his pistol.
Thankfully, the Captain is there to back him up.
Even with the protection offered from his helmet, the biker zombie isn't able to withstand two armor-piercing bullets to the back of the skull.
Spike and Lady head south of Fugates Station and attempt to grab the eastern zombies' attention.
It works!
After mentioning to the Laporte Hunter that "I've encountered these things before... you have to shoot them in the head. Most of the time," Warhead begins working on getting the MFMG back into working order. Meanwhile, a plan begins to develop inside his twisted head...
Sudden groaning and the sound of snapping jaws catch IB by complete surprise. Turning around, she discovers to her horror that Captain Dogmeat isn't completely dead... he's been turned into one of the undead, albeit ripped in half. Screaming with rage, she begins hammering him in the skull with what remains of her camcorder, but fails to do any real damage.
The zombies on the north side advance, facing no resistance.
Hancock retrieves some spare clips for his pistol.
With nothing else to do, he heads forward to support Spike and Lady, just as the squawk comes over the radio that evac is immediately upon them.
"Thank God for that!"
Spike and Lady decide to join him, luring the zombie towards him.
Laporte's evac finally shows up. Nikoli the Pilot can't believe the carnage he sees below.
"Holy SHIT!!!"
He wastes little time in landing in a safe spot. And Hancock doesn't mix words to either the Laporte Helghasts or the Immortals.
Captain Badass heads towards the northern section and opens fire on one of the two zombies. Both his shots miss, however. One of them actually destroys a landing light and sends a thick steam of neon-green electricity into the air.
The zombie's undeterred. It stumbles forward.
Right into the electrical storm.
He's toast.
The Hunter sends the Brittanian zombie back onto the ground with another shot to its thick skull.
Warhead can't take it anymore. "Fuck this," he thinks, and ignoring the burning sensation in his hands, he grabs hold of the MFMG by its barrel...
And in an epic display of badassery, he splatters the fallen zombie twelve ways to hell.
Maybe that's all the MFMG needed... it's able to fire again after Warhead's bloodlust has been sated!
Hancock escorts Spike and Lady onto da Choppa. Captain Badass holds back in order to make sure his men make it to their way out safely.
The Hunter begins to activate the explosive in the center of Fugates. "You might want to run... really fast," he tells IB.
As the countdown begins, he begins waving his arms and screaming his head off in an attempt to catch the last pirate zombie's attention. Hey, he succeeds!
Both he and IB then make a break for it.
Warhead's been on a roll so far. Rushing forward, he swings the MFMG back in an attempt to paint the ground red with zombie blood.
But... can it be?! Have the dice gods conspired against the almighty Warhead?! The weapon proves a little too heavy on one side for such a move, and he trips onto the ground... catching the zombie's eye.
It immediately pounces on him and attempts to bite through his armor!
The explosive goes off, and Fugates lights up into flames. Zombie Dogmeat, who was still undead, is burnt to a crisp. The fire also consumes the Immortals' radio, cutting off their contact with their own evac ship.
See that zombie standing in the background?
He's really motivated. He manages to stagger all the way around Fugates and falls into pursuit of the fleeing Helghasts and Immortals!
The Hunter isn't about to stand for it. He turns around and rams his great fist right into the zombie's face!
The mighty blow sends the undead corpse flying head over heels over a fallen brethern! He's fallen and he can't get back up!
Captain Badass, seeing Warhead in trouble, steps up to the plate.
The zombie's finally put out of its undead misery.
"You have my gratitude for saving me, Captain."
"No problem, my friend."
"You Laporte Helghasts are obviously much-better trained than the Northern Bemidji Alliance. Perhaps we can work out an alliance between us? There are benefits, after all, to joining with the Immortal Empire..."
"... I'm not sure what King Dillon would think of such an alliance. But for right now..."
"You're my brother-in-arms, Warhead!"
"Agreed! A keg of Maniac Beer for all of us once we get back to our Immortal ship! But first..."
And thus, the final zombie was put to rest.
Fugates Station was abandoned after the battle, left to become just another smoking wreck as evac took the Laporte Helghasts and the Immortals back to base. Without a radio to contact their ship, Warhead and his IB were able to construct a new one with the help of the Helghasts and teleport back to safety.
Shortly before departing, King Dillon has a chance to meet Warhead face-to-face, and agreed to joining the Immortal Empire. A diplomat would be sent to Warhead's ship in order to set and agree to terms with their newfound allies.
Unknown to either the Laporte Helghasts or the Immortals, however, the Northern Bemidji Alliance was already planning an offensive on their hated foes against one of their most important locations available to them...
Hope you enjoyed! If you have any helpful comments regarding camera work, it'd be much appreciated, I'm not too happy with some of these pics. Thanks!

The finality of these one-game playoffs breeds the tension and excitement. On the surface, the Twins carry all the momentum and the Tigers are reeling. It's the second straight year in which the Twins needed a playoff, with last year saw them losing 1-0 at Chicago.
While the Tigers went 11-15 down the stretch, the Twins won 16 of 20 and four straight to force the extra game. They are kind of like the roll the Colorado Rockies were on in 2007. The winner of today's game gets the Yankees, who had the option of having until after today's game to decide whether to open the ALDS Wednesday or Thursday.
Gamesmanship all the way, they chose tomorrow, giving today's winner no chance to catch its breath.
"Everybody wrote off the Twins, it seems like, a long time ago, especially when Morneau went down," said Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon. "A team needs to keep fighting and they've been one of those special teams for a long time. It seems like they don't give up. That's the great thing about baseball. You never know."
The one thing we do know about today's game is it will be loud.
My plan is to blog as much of the postseason as I can, and that begins today. I don't have a favorite in this game. The consensus seems to be Detroit has a better chance to unseat the Yankees than Minnesota.

Lance Armstrong documentary changed radically as allegations spread.
When documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Taxi to the Dark Side) was offered unprecedented access to seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong for his 2009 comeback ride, he was unaware of what his story would become.
But as allegations continued to spread in the years that followed about Armstrong's possible PED use - which he officially admitted to in an interview with Oprah Winfrey this past January - Gibney came to the realization that his film was no longer about the world's most inspiring athlete, but its greatest deceiver.
"The film we had made - and was virtually completed - was no longer relevant," Gibney revealed during a press conference Monday morning at the Toronto International Film Festival.
"I felt like I had been used, to some extent, as part of a con."
In The Armstrong Lie, Gibney delves into the maillot jaune's biggest cheat to uncover the truth about the career-long doper and cheating for which he would become known.
- REVIEW: The Armstrong Lie
Told through the eyes of Armstrong himself, as well as the teammates and competitors he destroyed along his path to glory, the film perfectly captures the disappointment suffered by millions of cancer survivors and cycling fans worldwide who were deceived by the athlete—including Gibney himself, who frames a chunk of the film around the relationship built between Armstrong and the director in the years leading up to his acquittal from international competition.
"By putting myself in the film, I had to reckon with the whole position of the fan's need for a dream…for a kind of perfect story," he said. "And Lance's story was the most perfect story of all."
But as Gibney progressed in his work, he quickly discovered the story he had begun to tell wasn't simply about a fraudulent hero, but the ways in which celebrities use their power for whatever means necessary.
"It's about something much more intangible - about what we look for in the whole sporting endeavor," Gibney said.
"When you see in retrospect that somebody abuses their power to go after people who are trying to tell the truth…I think they're deeply offended by it."

RIVER FOREST, Ill. - The Benedictine University football team won their fourth consecutive game by stopping the defending NACC Champions Concordia University Chicago 48-27 on Saturday.
Playing without the top rusher in the NACC, Benedictine still piled up over 200 yards on the ground and nearly 500 yards of total offense. The Eagles never trailed in the contest.
Artie Monaco received the start at running back for the first time this season and opened the scoring on the first drive of the game. Following a 27-yard pass play, Monaco broke free for a 44-yard run with 12:48 to go in the opening quarter to open the scoring. Monaco struck for four touchdowns on the ground in the contest.
Concordia Chicago tied the game on the ensuing drive, but Benedictine scored on back-to-back drives in the second quarter to take a 20-7 lead. Set up by a Dylan Rose interception, Monaco scored from eight yards out with 8:26 remaining in the first half. Greg Simms reeled in a five yard pass from Cyle Schultz on the following drive to punctuate a seven-play drive with 2:12 left.
The hosts reeled off 10 unanswered points to claw within 20-17 early in the second half, but Benedictine again posted consecutive touchdowns to provide space. Schultz hit Max Seibert for a 14-yard score with 7:38 left in the third and added a big play hookup with Colin Kanehl for a 53-yard score with 6:23 to play in the third.
Monaco netted two fourth quarter scores to ice the game, plunging in from two yards out on the second play of the fourth quarter and scooting in from 10 yards out after an interception by Rodney Nichols with 9:31 to play. Monaco finished with 207 yards in the game on 29 carries.
Schultz completed 14-of-20 attempts for 211 yards and three scores. Simms snared seven passes out of the backfield while Seibert totaled 82 yards on three catches. Rose, reigning NACC Defensive Player of the Week, totaled a game high 15 tackles including three for loss. The linebacker added an interception and two sacks. Kris Rosemann and Trent Altieri picked up nine tackles each while Alex Davis recorded 2.5 sacks.
Benedictine (6-2, 4-1) is back on the road next week for a non-conference contest at Maranatha at 1:00 p.m.

yes, its really unclear whether it has loaded properly or not.
I did a second search for Ntop and installed, what it said were now just 2 missing dependancies.
It seemed to download them, but my Package manager page seems to hang, just a white box.
So I tried to run Ntop from the consul...Looks like taht may have been a bad idea since it needs an admin password at startup (linux only).
By the way, I did your last consul line and got a page list of library stuff.. Too much to write down as a reply.. ( I am not replying to you using the same machine)
Now I am studying various web links to the same startup issue.
However I am not convinced that it has installed correctly and I was truly expecting some kind of icon to be dumped on my desktop..
Maybe its just my first bad experience and I have little idea what to expect really.

My 2nd & 3rd install attempts both failed.
At 3rd attempt I tried 1st installing:
Then when I began installing:
There was no extra tab displaying the 2 extra dependencies [they had been installed?]
But the PPM window still froze at about the point where it would be downloading/installing the last or 2nd-last dependency.
My shutdown process wouldn't complete properly.
i.e. At the point [during shutdown] where I choose to NOT save any session changes...
Nothing happened...
And I was forced to power off improperly, and at next boot enter the command:
puppy pfix=fsck
I'll try using a different repo for download.
The 2 separate depends downloaded OK.
Of the second group...
The 1st six downloaded OK, but the seventh download failed to start.
PPM is now frozen.
Will now attempt to reboot without saving.

Several things @ play here.. you're a novice, Precise me thinks is still teething and ntop's multi-user. Bad, bad combo.
Besides all the above making for a bad combo, ntop required additional directories. I'll look closer as time permits..

Well I certainly would appreciate some help with this one.
I was hoping to use Ntop 24hours a day to monitor my network traffic on my gateway interface. ( I am a wisp)
Also I did manage to get The Dude running under a WINE setting on the same machine.
So as soon as I can get Ntop functioning on this tiny Linux machine, I will be a happy bunny.
Did it look like your install completed ok? is it normal to get an icon on the desktop?

Pup don't do multi-user is problemo numero uno. It needs additional work aboard Pup. No icon, but you can create one.
Your browser's which? What messages are offered after running:
in a terminal?
Is it looking for any directories that aren't there?

OK.. its sorted
I guess it was the lack of a desktop icon, together with the package manager appearing to freeze (but actually not), and the lack of knowledge of linux.
Basically, I followed the threads here: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ntop.htm
then after issuing a password and re-starting. it appeared to hang with some message about library, right at the end.
But if you then start the seamonkey web browser and enter the iface IP address followed by port 3000, all will be well.
Nice... Now I will re-install WINE and The Dude.
Thanks One and All for your swift help.

good stuff this linux OS, but a little hard to understand for an old timer!
Finally I got Ntop to start up as a daemon each time the PC starts from cold.
After much confusion as to where to stick the script, I finally got sense in the startup directory, but I really could do with a 2 line explanation of the differences between that directory and /etc/init.d
My next task is to try and start the seamonkey web-browser after reboot like:
http//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000 (default ntop port)
and after the script to start the deamon... I suppose I can add a delay period after the call to start ntop. And then the last line of the script starts the web-browser.
Can anyone offer 5 mins to point me in the right directions?

So ntop 3.3 worked out the bag ( so long as every trace of every other aborted ntop install was removed)
Is there a way to upgrade Ntop from within a working shell without having to download a 5.01 tar.
Or is there a specific guide for the install of V5,xx, , I havent yet come across a guide that details the dependencies that are needed in a Lucid 5.28 environment.
Has anyone made a self install?
