Guaranteed batch of beer for Pilsner fest fans was prepared by Pavel Nový and Matěj Ruppert
18 July 2012
Plzeň, July 17, 2012 - Under the patronage of Grant McKenzie, Marketing Director of Plzeňský Prazdroj, actor Pavel Nový and musician Václav Berka, together with Pilsen's brewery master-brewer, prepared a special batch of beer for Pilsner Fest fans today. The batch participants remembered not only the traditional brewing process of Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus beers - the Pilsner Fest "honourees" - but also some other rituals connected with the brewing of beer.
The gates to both of Plzeňský Prazdroj's breweries traditionally open during the last weekend of August to all fun-time fans and most of all to all loyal consumers of Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus. The guests of honour, Pavel Nový and Matěj Ruppert, came together just for this occasion so they could brew, together with Grant McKenzie and Pilsen's master-brewer Václav Berka, the special batches of Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus beers - the main beers of the traditional and popular festival that is visited by thousands of people every year.
First of all, the participants of both brewing processes marked the end of the Gambrinus brewing process by ringing a bell. The popular musician Matěj Ruppert, known for his extremely positive attitude towards Pilsen beers, assumed the role of batch patron. "All of us in the band are good friends and beer is one of the common things we all enjoy, even outside of work. The times spent together at the country house where we often go to is unthinkable to us without Pilsen beer," Matěj Ruppert of Monkey Business and G-Point Hunters band said and added, "I wish the same pleasant moments with beer to all guests of this year's Pilsner Fest."
Pilsen native Pavel Nový, a popular actor and representative of charitable organization Centre Umbrella, who has been cooperating with Plzeňský Prazdroj for a long time assumed the role of master brewer, and, after a short opening speech of Václav Berka, started a new batch for Pilsner Fest in the brewery's brewing house. "I guarantee to all fans of Pilsner Urquell beer that this beer, prepared under our watchful eyes, will be as excellent as all beer originating in this brewing house," actor Pavel Nový said, smiling.
The beer was brewed according to a tradition preserved in the brewery since the times of the first master brewer. "For 170 years now, we honour this tradition, and I believe that Pilsner Fest fans too will celebrate with us this special occasion," Grant McKenzie, Marketing Director of Plzeňský Prazdroj, invited all present to this year's Pilsen Fest.

Modern crime often leaves an electronic trail. Finding and preserving that evidence requires careful methods as well as technical skill
Simson L. Garfinkel
Even when photos and video can be recovered from a subject's computer or cell phone, another question to consider is whether the imagery is real. Photographs were doctored long before the advent of Photoshop. For example, in the era of Soviet Russia, after he was purged by Stalin, Bolshevik official Avel Enukidze was carefully removed from official photographs through a series of skillful manipulations of light and negatives in a Kremlin darkroom. Computer animation now takes such manipulation to a completely new level, with synthesized scenes that are visually indistinguishable from recorded reality.
Image processing advances have made it possible to find some kinds of artifacts that indicate tampering or wholesale synthesis. Light reflections, highlights, and shadows also can be closely examined to reveal that different objects in a single "photograph" actually were assembled from images that were in slightly different physical environments.
In one dramatic demonstration in 2009, computer scientist Hany Farid of Dartmouth College showed that a single "group picture" had been created by pasting in people from different photos because the reflection of the room lights on each person's eyes were inconsistent with were they were standing in the frame.
At the leading edge of digital forensics research are systems that attempt to assist an analyst's reasoning—to find evidence automatically that is out of the ordinary, strange, or inconsistent. Such details can indicate that there is a deeper, hidden story. Inconsistencies can also indicate that evidence has been tampered with or entirely falsified. Ultimately, such automated reasoning systems are likely the only way that today's analysts will be able to keep up with the vast quantities and increasing diversity of data in the coming years. Progress in this area remains tricky, however. Some developments have been made on systems that can find timestamp inconsistencies (a file can't be deleted before it is created), but such rules are invariably complicated by the messiness of the real world (for example, daylight savings time).

The Smallest Room In The House molded tile cabinetry2 of 9
By Megan Bello
DILEMMA: SMALL ROOM One option is to go bold. Decorator Carol Poet recommends doing this with statement pieces and dramatic lighting. At left, Poet used molded tile; at right, ornate cabinetry.Peter Christiansen Valli for Poet Design
The Smallest Room In The House antique furniture3 of 9
DILEMMA: SMALL ROOM Another way to go bold is to reuse a piece of antique furniture as a sink cabinet. At left, she reworked a vintage desk with a marble counter. At right, she paired a Gothic mirror with an old Welsh dresser.Grey Crawford for Poet Design
Small Room With No Windows lighting mirror4 of 9
DILEMMA: DARK ROOM Carol's secret weapon is to "hang a large mirror, to give the illusion of depth." Be sure to "position your lighting nearby, so that the mirror can reflect it."Peter Christiansen Valli for Poet Design
Making 2 Rooms from 1 Large Open Space focal point5 of 9
DILEMMA: OPEN SPACE One option is to "find the focal point." Here, she made the fireplace the focus and designed a living space around it. Then, she added artwork to a secondary area, giving it a life of its own.Peter Christiansen Valli for Poet Design
Large Open Space windows6 of 9
DILEMMA: OPEN SPACE Another option: "Decide how to divide the space based on entrances, exits, windows and outlets," says Carol. "Center each room with lighting and then choose furniture in well-balanced colors and textures."Peter Christiansen Valli for Poet Design
Awkward & Narrow Space bookshelves7 of 9
DILEMMA: AWKWARD SPACE This space is quite narrow, with a wall of windows. Carol chose to make use of the area around the windows with seats and bookshelves, creating a cozy library nook.John Ellis for Poet Design

DILEMMA: THE LARGE FLAT SCREEN Everyone's favorite family piece. Here, Carol decided to visually anchor the TV over a cabinet with a "strong" presence.Peter Christiansen Valli for Poet Design

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Staples.
Interview Details Very big on analytical ability to fit in culturally.
Interview Question – If from a school out of area, be convincing that you really want to move to New England. Expect them to evaluate you on whether or not they would trust sending you alone to meet 1x1 with a senior leader and be able to hold your own. Answer Question
No Offer
Neutral Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Staples in December 2011.
Interview Details The initial screening was a phone interview where the interviewer generally asked about my background, skills and why I wanted to join Staples.
Once I cleared the phone interview, I was notified by email about two dates when the interview sessions were being conducted. I selected one of the dates and went there around 10:30 AM. I was told that the interview process would be lengthy. But to call it lengthy would be an understatement. The actual process lasted about 5 hours and included about 6 interviews with different people/panels in a claustrophobic room. This was one of the most exhausting interviews of my life.
After a week I was notified that I was not selected. This was really really disappointing, considering the amount of hardwork and effort I had put into this interview. Straight from following up with the HR Recruiter to sending Thank You emails to all Hiring Managers.

Neutral Experience
Average Interview
The process took a day - interviewed at Staples in October 2011.
Interview Details The interview process was very interesting at Staples. I was greeted by one individual who was very nice and personable and was looking to mainly understand my long-term goals so they could be sure to hire someone that would stay with them for a long period of time. My next interview was somewhat colder-feeling, and the interviewer was "politely rude", meaning it was almost a stress-test type of interview to see how you handle it, and although it went OK, it wasn't an environment I wanted to be a part of.
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (each employer is always looking for something unique) Answer Question

Sad news out of Boston today: Tom and Ray Magliozzi, better known as the Saturday morning radio mechanics on NPR's "Car Talk," are calling it quits, the Associated Press reports.
They show will continue to air in reruns, but after 25 years of giving useful and hilarious advice on car maintenance to callers with every manner of malfunction, no new episodes will be produced. Older brother Tom is 74 years old, while Ray is 63.
The show was first broadcast on WBUR in Boston in 1977. It's now the most popular program on NPR and is heard coast-to-coast.

Ask nicely and the chef will smother your eggs, your toast, or anything else you order with some of that first-class chile. At lunchtime, the paninis, wraps, and burgers are all top-notch.

In Golf, do you want at least 1 Major with no other wins or do you want a career with several regular tournament wins but no majors?
Sure you'll make more money winning tournaments, keep your name in the mix of conversations, & you'll get more companies wanting you to endorse their products making you even more wealthier. But will you be satisfied knowing you never won the Big One?
As a player, you dream to be the Best at your craft. You got the Masters, The Open, the US Open and the PGA Championship as Majors.
Do you want 1 Green Jacket or several wins at the Northern Trust Open?
Do you care about having your name on the Claret Jug or having trophies from The Honda Classic, Bob Hope Classic or even the Shell Houston Open?
Give me a vanilla career with just One Cherry on the Top of my career, one Green Jacket, or my name on the Claret Jug, or let me take home the Wanamaker Cup, or even having one US Open title. How do you want to be remembered by? I say win the Gold, why settle for several Trinkets?
Mr. Jolly said 09/01, 03:52 PM
I've got 1 name for you.
* Chi Chi Rodriguez
While he never claimed a major championship (6th in the US Open was his highest), he still managed to put together a memorable career and is honored in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
And that's because Chi Chi knew its not what you do,
But how you do it.
* In a stuffy atmosphere, Chi Chi found a way to stand out and show the patrons that 1 could enjoy and compete in the gentleman's game without getting lost in the bureaucracy.
He developed little acts of showmanship, like the Toreador Dance and placing a hat over the hole of a birdie/eagle.
The man enjoyed playing the game and it showed, which brought him fans, endorsements, and respect in the golf world.
It was through this way that Chi Chi is remembered while dozens of 1-trick major ponies don't.
* While Tin Cup is just a movie, there is a pretty valuable lesson in what Roy McAvoy accomplishes.
The sexy Russo character says something to the effect of:
"Nobody will remember who won the US Open years from now, but they'll remember your shot!"
Better to be remembered then forgotten.
An accomplishment is only as great as people can recall it.
] [ said 09/01, 06:13 PM
Is it better to remembered as an entertainer on the course like Chi Chi Rodrguez (8 wins on the PGA Tour) or to win one single Major and be remembered forever more like Francis Ouimet?
As a player, winning on the Grandest stage of your choice of sport cements you in your place in history.
I disagree with you in your reference to Tin Cup. I see the Character Roy McAvoy more in the lines of Ouimet, he wants history, he wants the grandeur. Rodriguez relates more to the Don Johnson character, more of the established player on tour, a little more flashier but not in the "flash" that counts.
Chi Chi did his thing, but was it memorable for the right reasons? Chi Chi clowned around and yes it brought him attention. But Ouimet's effect gives you not laughs, but the pure joy of knowing that an average player out of nowhere can be the Best Player on one Golf's Grandest Stages.
Golf is rich in history and tradition. If you ask any player on tour which tournament would they like to win most, they are not going to say the Valero Texas Open or the Reno-Tahoe Open.
Greatness is fleeting, so grab onto it.
Mr. Jolly said 09/02, 11:55 AM
* 1st, lets clear some things up on why Ouimet (1913 U.S. Open Champ) is a horrible example in this debate.
Americans didn't start regularly playing the British Open until the 20s, mainly because of travel and WW1.
The Masters don't exist until 1934.
The PGA Championship doesn't become stroke play until 1958.
Ouimet is remembered as a pioneer and 1 of America's first great players.
He wasn't seen as a 1-trick pony in a time where the "majors" didn't exist as they do today.
* 2nd, there is no way Chi Chi is the "Don Johnson" character in Tin Cup, because that guy won the U.S. Open in the movie.
Also, Chi Chi LIKES dogs and old people.
* Let's look at it another way.
Let's say you and I are on our death bed.
You tell me about the one time you've been with a woman. You tell me how she was an absolute "10". A complete knockout.
But it was the ONLY time you've ever been with a woman.
I respond about how I've never been good enough to score a "10", but I've been with 12 women that are 5-7s.
Now, which person had a more fulfilled life in the bedroom?
Greatness may be fleeting, but it doesn't exist if people can't remember it, like Ouimet.
] [ said 09/02, 02:13 PM
I won't do any foreplay & lie to you about knowing what your saying since I never stayed with my 1st time. As time goes by, I sometimes sit by the balcony & smoke a cigar with a glass of Cognac, I reflect on the conquests that I have had, I quickly go through my memories of Mary Ann (wholesome), Jan (quirky), Sabrina (intelligent), Janet (caring), and even Joanne (cute). But there is always this one, the memory that I always fall back on, the 10 that I will never forget. That memory seems to play out in slow motion, almost surreal, you know - Imax vs a regular theater? You can even almost smell the sweetness from her hair, how soft & smooth her skin was.... but I will not kiss and tell all.
Sure I've had my share, but as I take another sip of my fine drink, I think to myself and realize that having a 10 was quite an accomplishment. In many ways, I'd trade my experiences with the "plain Janes" for another wonderful time with my perfect 10.
Watch the movie again, "Tin Cup." Johnson's character was the "flash", all smiles, sharply dressed & entertaining to the important people, just like Chi Chi did with his song & dance, well no song just the dance.
Good TD Jolly.
Mr. Jolly said 09/02, 03:59 PM
I must say that I enjoy the Cognac and a good cigar.
I'm a bit more of a scotch man myself, with a preference for Dewar's or if I find a couple hundreds on the ground, I may bless myself with the Johnny Walker Blue.....
But I should stop myself from falling for that trap of daydreaming.
While you're replaying that one outstanding night with a "10" (which by the way, if it isn't the ONLY one you've been with, you're no longer an example of what you're arguing for) I'll be still out experiencing other 5-7s.
I'm more of a hands-on guy and not so much a daydream believer.
As for Tin Cup, I've seen it a great many times and own it.
I'm just gonna assume that those of you out there in FN who have seen it too can figure out how ridiculous it is to compare Johnson's "David Simms" to Chi Chi Rodriguez.
I'll close with this:
Golfer A won a major but never made it to Sunday in another major ever again. People call him a fluke or make excuses why he won.
Golfer B never wins a major but plays almost every Sunday in majors for 20 years. People say he's a good/great golfer, but just didn't win the big one.
Now think for a minute:
Which story do you want to have?
Thanks for the FanMail Jolly.
Just wanted to help keep the FN site active. Almost done typing it out.... Feel free to drop it if you change your mind.
John Elway's. Going out on top

I'll have my 1st argument knocked out before 5pm, given that you get yours in by then.
No rush though.
Just a heads up, topic is golf related. < hitting the snooze button >
Hmm alot of tough choices come to mind. Michael Jordan, greatest NBA player? Rocky Marciano, only undefeated boxer? This should be a good TD.

The story of art
Phaidon Press, Ltd., 9 apr. 1995 - 688 pagina's
The Story of Art, one of the most famous and popular books on art ever written, has been a world bestseller for over four decades. Attracted by the simplicity and clarity of his writing, readers of all ages and backgrounds have found in Professor Gombrich a true master, who combines knowledge and wisdom with a unique gift for communicating his deep love of the subject.
For the first time in many years the book has been completely redesigned. The illustrations, now in colour throughout, have all been improved and reoriginated, and include six fold-outs. The text has been revised and updated where appropriate, and a number of new artists have been incorporated. The bibliographies have been expanded and updated, and the maps and charts redrawn. The Story of Art has always been admired for two key qualities: it is a pleasure to read and a pleasure to handle. In these respects the new edition is true to its much-loved predecessors: the text runs as smoothly as ever, and the improved illustrations are always on the page where the reader needs them. In its new edition this classic work continues its triumphant progress for another generation and remains the title of first choice for all newcomers to art.

39 S Main St, Memphis, TN | Directions 3810335.143958 -90.053235
Neighborhoods: Downtown Core, Central, Downtown Medical Center
We loved our meal here! – What a great idea this restaurant has! Everything is offered in 1/3 portions- everything from the wine to dessert to after dinner drinks. So much fun. EVERY course was FABULOUS - and I DO get out a lot! The caprese with watermelon and the pear salad were both great. The lobster on shrimp risotto melted in my mouth. The ribeye with cherry chocolate demiglase was scrumptious. We loved being able to order 3 small glasses of wine so that we tried them all. GREAT service and reservations online with confirmation. They even provide tokens for the trolley.
Best Restaurant Experience Ever – Where do I start? We were a group of four, and Flight was the best restaurant experience any of us have ever had. We arrived and were immediately seated. The table had ice water already poured for us. Our server's name was Tim, and he was, in a word, perfect. He was extremely knowledgeable about the food menu and the wine list. We were there with my boyfriend's parents, and the lights are pretty dim so Tim offered them a pen light which was a great touch. We started with the Ocean Flight and the Escargot for appetizers. Only two of us would eat the escargot, but man was it worth it. It was out of this world fantastic. The Ocean Flight was also great. The crabcakes were flavorful, the lobster sweet and cooked perfectly, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. I ordered the Chef's Flight, which changes daily. Since it changes daily I hesitate to list what was on it, but it did have a lamb strip as one of the dishes. That piece of lamb was the best thing I ever eaten in my entire life. It could not have been prepared any better. We also had the Salad flight and it was delicious. In addition, we ordered the Seafood flight and while the shrimp and grits were good, they were not the best we have ever had. The other two dishes on the flight were again, just perfection. The lobster was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful sweetness to it. None of us have ever had a better scallop either. It had a great sear on the outside and melted like butter when you took a bite. Two of us got wine flights. Again, Tim seemed to know everything about every wine they had. He recommended great wine selections for us and they were fantastic. For dessert we made a Flight of Banana's Foster Bread Pudding, Gran Marnier Crème Brulee and Turtle cheesecake. The chef's desert was a goat cheese sorbet thing that Tim really wanted us to try so he didn't charge us for it and just ordered it up. All of it was fantastic. We were all leery of the goat cheese dessert, but it was wonderful. The cheesecake was best any of us have ever had. The bread pudding was great and so was the crème brulee. I would highly recommend trying to reserve Tim as your waiter. You won't be disappointed. In the future, we will make it a point to eat at Flight every time we are in Memphis!

As the nation prepares to acknowledge the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this Sunday, NCAA.org asked select student-athletes and staff from some of the Association's service academies about how the tragic events of 2001 affected their lives.
Student-athletes either from the graduating class of 2002 or 2003 talk about the immediate impact of 9/11, and current student-athletes who will be graduating now after the death of Osama bin Laden reflect on 10 years of post-9/11 life. Also, staff who were at their schools 10 years ago offer their perspective on both then and now.
Navy's associate athletics director for sports information is currently in his 21st year at the Academy.
When 9/11 happened, I think it was obvious to everyone who went to school here that they were going to war. There's always that chance when you come to a service academy -- obviously they all serve a minimum of five years – but on 9/11 it really hit home that when they graduate they're definitely going to go to war. And all the students who have come since then, they've willingly come here knowing that they were going to go to war.
I think that's an amazing statement for anyone who has attended any of the service academies, that they're willing to come here to get a great education and serve their country, knowing that when they graduate that there's a good chance they're going to be sent into theater. You never saw any trepidation. I think people were like, "This is why we're here." And obviously the country was angry about what happened, and patriotism was at an all-time high. And all the students were like, "This is what we came here for. This is why we're going to become officers in the Navy and the Marine Corps." No doubt about that. They knew that they could make a difference.
We played Boston College, it was our first football game after 9/11. We were supposed to play Northwestern that Saturday (after 9/11) and that game was canceled. So the next Saturday we played Boston College, and that game is definitely on my list as one of the top 10 games I've seen at Navy. We lost the game and it wasn't one of our best years, but just the patriotism and the feeling in the stadium, getting everyone back to normalcy, it was definitely a memorable game. And Boston College was coached by a Naval Academy grad in Tom O'Brien. Just a special feeling in the stadium that Saturday.
Obviously, the Army-Navy game was even at another level. President Bush visited both locker rooms before the game, and I remember Ed Malinowski, the team captain and quarterback, presenting him the football in the locker room before the game. That was definitely memorable as well. Patriotism was at an all-time high nationwide, and obviously the Army-Navy game is America's greatest college football game. It just shone a spotlight bigger on it that year, and it's been like that ever since. That Army-Navy game, people focused on it even more because they realized what these young men and women are going to do after they graduate.
I don't think it's changed at all. I think our coaches have seen, football-wise, our recruiting has taken off. Obviously we've been very successful in football and have had great seasons, but I think there are a lot of people out there who want to serve and want to make a difference and want to be a leader. I know our coaches, when the SEALs got bin Laden, our football coaches were on the road recruiting and they said the response was incredible at all the high schools they were at. One of our coaches was down in Florida and he had a Navy shirt on, and when he walked into the courtyard area, he got a standing ovation. And this is just an assistant football coach. But he had Navy on his shirt.
Every time I see one of our sports teams standing for the National Anthem, it gives me chills. Just knowing what these young men and women have decided to do and what they're going to go on to do, it's a really special feeling to be a part of, to work at a service academy and work with these young men and women. The National Anthem to me brings it home no matter what the sporting event. Every game.

His name is Doug Collins.
Collins' moves on the bench have shown smarts but choice words from the podium have lacked savvy — and not just when he made us wonder if HIPAA laws apply to old friends by divulging John Paxson's heart procedure.
Collins planted the first seed of doubt after the 76ers took a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals when he described how associate head coach Michael Curry addressed the team at his behest. Like Rip Hamilton of the Bulls, Curry played on the 2003 Pistons team that overcame a 3-1 playoff deficit to oust the Magic. I can see the Bulls rallying around that example but the 76ers?
"I think Michael Curry was great in the locker room," Collins said.
Was it a great idea for Collins to reassert to a young team just how fragile its two-game lead was? Do you really want to remind a novice walking a tightrope what happens when you look down? In trying to give the impressionable 76ers inspiration, Collins instead supplied uncertainty. Doesn't a team warned what not to do adopt a play-not-to-lose mentality?
In the playoffs, every conceivable mental edge matters. Every momentum swing hinges on confidence. Conscious of those realities, Collins alluded Wednesday to the important role psyche plays in the postseason when dissecting the 76ers film session.
"I want our guys to be positive about what we have to do,'' Collins said. "I don't want them to have negative feelings at all.''
So why have Curry share the cautionary tale of '03? It provided a compelling narrative that spiced up Game 5 but my sense is the history lesson captivated Collins' former media brethren more than players whose idea of history is last night's box score. I bet 76ers guard Jrue Holiday never considered mimicking a Magical choke job in the playoffs before hearing Curry reminisce about 2003.
After the Bulls willed themselves back into the psychological driver's seat with a physical 77-69 victory in Game 5, Collins and his candor again introduced another reason for the 76ers to dwell on something unnecessary.
"The big thing is we're not a physical team,'' Collins said. "Thad (Young) has the size of a small forward. Early in the game our most efficient player was Lavoy (Allen). We can't play smash-mouth ball.''
That Collins was accurate in his assessment is beside the point. His job isn't to put the series into context the way he did on TV. His job is to put his team in the healthiest state of mind possible so it becomes the fifth No. 8 seed to eliminate a No. 1 seed. I don't know how acknowledging the 76ers' physical inability to stand up to the NBA bully that is the Bulls helps accomplish that goal.
Collins' public admission potentially creates anxiety over whether he believes 76ers players are as tough as they think. Maybe Coach was right. We can't hang with the Bulls. It also made the challenge 76ers center Spencer Hawes issued sound like false bravado.
"If that's how it's going to go, we can play that brand of basketball,'' Hawes said.
The welt on his face made me think Hawes should be careful what he wishes for. After all, even his coach doubted the 76ers could win a rough-and-tumble game.
If the 76ers can't in Game 6, then Collins really might regret being so irrepressibly honest.
"I don't want to come back here for a Game 7," Collins said about the United Center.
Nobody will accuse these 76ers of being fearless.
I know what Collins meant. He intended to keep his team's focus on ending the series at home where the 76ers play looser. But what the coach said, essentially, was that he questioned whether his team could beat the Bulls with the season on the line Saturday in Chicago.
As a result the team with nothing to lose will take the court for Game 6 feeling more pressure than the team trailing the series 3-2. And I contend Collins only intensified it.
Meanwhile, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau suffers from basketball myopia and never looks ahead more than one possession, let alone to Game 7.
"We have enough to win,'' Thibodeau repeated of the short-handed Bulls.
From what I've heard, Thibs isn't the only coach in this series convinced.

Farve and Away
You know, there are few things more divisive than disagreements over politics and religion. I think I've done a pretty good job of addressing tricky issues in the past while keeping my nose out of the fray. So it is with some concern that I jump head in to my next topic. Green Bay Packers football. And believe me,
To The Batcave!
In the last month I've been repeatedly called a movie snob. Maybe it's because I sold out and stopped hiding my love affair with iPic. Maybe it's because every weekend I don't just read the weekly movie grosses, but every piece of media news and analysis at my hands: EW, the New York Times, aintitcoolnews.com, variety.com. cnn.com. gallifreyone.com, and, of course, USA Today. Or heck, maybe I just think I know more about movies than I do. I definitely spend more time deconstructing and analyzing movies than most. In any event, I find that the most common comparison that I make with respect to what I see is to what came before. My conclusion, like many an old codger, is this: they just don't make them like they used to, do they? I've been mulling this point ever since The Dark Knight became the news-making movie of the summer.
Call me crazy, but I grew up on Adam West. And yes, I know that at 36 years old, I was already watching reruns a decade old when I rushed home after school, but nothing gets me like the BAM! POW! ZAP! of the original series. Adam West was the man. The BAT man. And I loved Cesar Romero's Joker. When I got older I wondered why Romero wouldn't shave his white mustache when he donned the purple suit and white cake makeup, but it only really bothered me in the close-up shots, but no bother. It's all good. I would see in my adulthood the fruits of my love for all things Hollywood. Growing up I was probably one of few people who could recall every actor's performance, including the obscure guest roles. For example, I can't forget Victor Buono's riveting performance as King Tut (a delusion brought onto a museum scholar by a swift knock to the head); Tallulah ("Bewitched") Bankhead's Black Widow; or Milton Berle's Louie the Lilac. I can even name all 3 women to play Catwoman in the show. I guess that makes me a bit of an expert on Batman, and for the sake of this piece, we'll assume I'm right. Snob or not.
Hog Wild!
As I write this entry, I hear something that I really don't hear very often--the sound of rumbling motorcycles along the expressway and streets in my Bayside office.
This summer has been a terrific one for Milwaukee. First we got the Harley Museum, then Fonzie* (or whoever that statue is), and now the 105th Anniversary celebration. Here in Milwaukee we're actually able to celebrate our history and heritage in a truly incredible way. This summer alone, we've seen MillerCoors announce a major shift in operations to Chicago. We've seen the bowling congress announce plans to leave, as well. But we still--and always will--have Harley-Davidson. And they're making sure we know that they are here to stay.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee Mayor Tom Beehan
"The stimulus package is going to be huge for Oak Ridge…There is money in the stimulus package for environmental cleanup, and it's headed this way." [The Oak Ridger, 2/20/09]
Columbus, Ohio Mayor Michael B. Coleman
"This stimulus package will stop the freefall, and it will lead to growth in the future." [Washington Post, 2/21/09]
Phoenix, Arizona Mayor Phil Gordon
"This will actually create jobs with the private sector in all different areas." [KTAR, 2/23/09]
Alabama State Representative Jimmy Martin
"Until the stimulus passed Alabama was looking at laying-off 8,000 teachers next year, increasing class sizes to historic proportions, and in the process wiping out the progress we've made over the past five years in student achievement. To put it bluntly, because of our current economic troubles we were going to hurt our children's education. The stimulus package will change that reality." [Clanton Advertiser, 2/23/09]
Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Sean Dilweg
"We know the cost of health care premiums for unemployed workers makes it difficult for them to purchase coverage. The COBRA subsidy will make it much easier for families to continue their health care coverage." [WGBA - NBC 26, 2/24/09]
The Herald Editorial (South Carolina): Stimulus can help
…we disagree with [Governor Mark] Sanford and other critics that the basic economic philosophy behind the stimulus is unsound or that programs funded by government are inherently wasteful. This infusion of cash to the states, if properly allocated, can create jobs, improve the state's infrastructure, stave off cuts in education, prevent the need to lay off public workers and provide medical care and temporary sustenance to the unemployed and needy…
This stimulus can give the state valuable breathing space until the recession bottoms out and the economy gradually begins to improve. In terms of improved roads, safer bridges and other infrastructure improvements such as school repairs, the state will be better off than it was prior to the recession… [2/24/09]
Hattiesburg American Editorial (Mississippi) - Barbour & stimulus: a political game
Gov. Haley Barbour's decision to forgo about $50 million in stimulus money to the state that would expand benefits for the unemployed smacks more of politics than good policy…
It's distressing to see area Republican legislators, among them Sens. Joey Fillingane and Tom King, falling in line behind Barbour, while the unemployment rate continues to grow in the nation's poorest state.
One of the state's top economists, Marianne Hill of Mississippi's Institutions of Higher Learning, says the governor's priorities are misplaced.
'The need for reform is urgent,' she said. 'I think that it's clear we need to expand our benefits to cover more people.'…
Barbour appears to be fine with the rest of the $2.3 billion that is coming to Mississippi. This is not the time to be turning his back on those who are out of work and can use extra help. [2/25/09]
Statesman Journal (Oregon) - First course of stimulus on way to dinner tables
For Oregon families that use food stamps to buy groceries, the federal stimulus package means their monthly allotments will increase…
Families could begin seeing an increase in their monthly food stamp allotment by April 1 lasting through Sept. 30, Stewart said.
A family of four could see an increase of $80; a monthly food stamp allowance would increase from $588 to $668.
"That's enough of a difference to really help, I think, for folks having a hard time," Stewart said… [2/24/09]
Grand Rapids Press (Michigan) - Stimulus plan means more energy-saving help for West Michigan homeowners
Holland resident Ruby Anaya loves the new furnace, storm windows and warm, insulated house that have cut her monthly winter heating bill in half.
Anaya was one of nearly 300 families helped last year with a weatherization program run by Community Action Agency operations in Kent and Ottawa counties. That number could rise to more than 1,500 families getting weatherization for homes in the two counties under the $787 billion economic stimulus package signed into law by the president…
Weatherization reduces energy costs. Anaya -- widowed in 2007 with two children at home -- saw her average heating bills drop from about $300 a month last winter to $128 a month so far this year... [2/23/09]
Wilton Bulletin Editorial (Connecticut): Economic stimulus
We are pleased that Congress passed the $787-billion economic stimulus bill, officially known as The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which President Barack Obama signed Tuesday.
The legislation will create and save jobs in Connecticut and across the nation and is a major step toward pulling the country out of the recession… [2/24/09]

UPDATED: McCRORY-COOPER SHOWDOWN: Republican Gov. Pat McCrory's Division of Motor Vehicles is refusing to issue immigrants in the deferred action program driver's licenses but Democrat Attorney General Roy Cooper says they must.
The state Attorney General's office said Thursday that young illegal immigrants participating in an Obama administration program blocking deportation for two years should be eligible for driving privileges in North Carolina, but by day's end it wasn't clear whether the DMV would issue them. But by late Thursday, more than five hours after the opinion was released, acting DMV Commissioner J. Eric Boyette said DMV officials had not formulated their response. "We have just received the ruling from the Attorney General's office regarding driver's licenses for people in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program today and we are in the process of reviewing it," Boyette said by email.***This is the Dome Morning Memo, a roundup of political news and analysis in North Carolina.

BOOKS ON REVIEW … I love reading. And I manage to sneak a few good ones in among all the political reading that I have to wade through – reports, memos, journals, background. It's the reading load, as much as the traveling, that takes up so much time in politics from my perspective. But I love being able to effect real change, as well as write poetry screeds dreaming of change. The trade-off is that my reading is far more circumscribed than I would like … So, no long reviews. But let me just mention, over the next few weeks, a few of the good books I've read of late … Michael P. Cohen is a good friend and environmental writing teacher, now retired in Reno, Nev., who wrote one of the great accounts of the real godfather of the American environmental movement, The Pathless Way: John Muir and American Wilderness (Univ. of Wisconsin Press, Madison, 1984) … It's a biography, so we learn how Muir moved from Midwestern machine invention to deep love and curiosity for the natural world of the west coast, how his father's severe religious focus led to a religious reverence in his son for mountains and rivers, and how Muir birthed "the pathless way": (sauntering in religious awe in unroaded nature) and found his "glacial eye" – how exploring his beloved Yosemite taught him to see ages back in time as he reflected on the present landscape … Cohen does a masterful job of bringing us along with Muir in his discoveries and insights, and showing how his time in the wilds led him to become an apostle of wilderness in the larger society, both as a writer and an activist. It is a dazzling journey that takes us deep in the mind and works of one of the country's greatest visionaries. In no way dated, The Pathless Way is a masterpiece of American environmental writing. Highly recommended.
WEEKLY QUOTA … "This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector." -Plato, ancient Greek philosopher (428/427-348/347 BPE)
FIRST TAKE … Got a couple interesting publications in the mail recently … Meena2 is a bilingual Arabic/English arts and literary journal out of New Orleans, published by friend Andy Young and her partner Khaled Hegazzi … Meena means "port" in Arabic and the mag seeks "to create more, and varied, dialogue as it is clear that we need ports-of-entry now more than ever." Their second issue sports fine work by Charlie Simic and Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mafouz, who passed away this past summer. Go to their website to get a copy, www.meenamag.com … And another old friend, Padma Thornlyre, has come out with a marvelous little chapbook of poems by his young daughter, Circe Morganna, and himself, Sometimes, Grace Goes Cuckoo (Mad Blood Editions, Evergreen, 2006). Both of their poems resonate for me, the father of several children. This is the perfect book to give to someone starting a family. And it's a very affordable $5 … For info, email email@example.com COLORADO DREAMIN' … Up in Portland I was directed to a new kind of 7/11 gas station/convenience store combo, a SeQuential biofuels center – with biodiesel options, ethanol formulas, organic coffee, sinful baked goods, healthy snack foods and earth-friendly essentials … Of course, it was a hopeful needle in a conventional petroleum haystack. But wouldn't it be wonderful to bring something like that to Colorado? … For more info on the company, visit. www.sqbiofuels.com, or, to contact to a real person, try Ciara Hall, retail manager for the station I visited (there's a string of them in Oregon and by now maybe Washington) at 866/978-3210, email@example.com.
SAD FACT … "On a New York-to-Denver flight, a commercial jet would generate 840 to 1,660 pounds of carbon dioxide per passenger. That's about what an SUV generates in a month." -USA Today, Dec. 18, 2006
GOP … Nope, these aren't just the initials for a scandal-ridden political party. The GOP we're talking about stands for the Global Orgasm Project. It's a plan to promote world peace through ecstasy … Anti-war activists Paul Reffell and Donna Sheehan planned their latest peace-making project – the synchronized global orgasm – for solstice day, Dec. 22. Which means you missed it this year. But next year … Go to www.globalorgasm.org for more info.

"Playing first base, you realize there are lot of guys who put up great numbers," Thome said. "Anytime you get invited, it's an honor. I remember as a kid in my backyard going, 'I want to be this player or that player.' I've always looked at [the All-Star Game] as a privilege and an
honor, because you get to represent your city and your club."
The 15 homers tied the franchise mark for homers in a month with Cy Williams, who turned that trick in May 1923. On June 14, Thome reached a milestone when he clubbed career homer No. 400. The next day, he became the first player to hit 20 homers this season.
"Everyone wants to be around him. His home runs aren't just home runs, either. They're home runs! My friends all talk about Jim Thome. They love his swing. They love watching him take batting practice."
Thome has one hit in five All-Star at-bats, but has walked three times and driven in a run. The hit came in 1999. More memorable than that, Thome recalled, was the 1997 game, when he got to play in front of the home fans at Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
The day before the game, Thome will have more pride at stake when he competes in the home run derby.
Left-hander Eric Milton, who won his 11th game Sunday, was not named to the team. His 4.48 ERA might have been the reason he wasn't selected.
"I'll try not to think about it. I know a lot of other guys were left off," Milton said.

- 2009 PhD English (Alberta)
- 2002 MA English (WLU)
- 2000 MA Medieval Studies (Leeds)

Research & Teaching Interests:
- Medieval Literature and Culture
- Children's Literature
- Medievalism (all periods)
- Fantasy and Science-Fiction Literature
- Early-Modern Literature and Print Culture
My interests are ecclectic but thematically related, and historical and cultural contexts heavily inform my research. I am interested in liminal figures, from werewolves to knights and warrior women, as well as in representations of monstrosity, in late medieval literature and modern medievalism (especially in the genres of medieval romance and young adult fantasy).
I enjoy experimenting with alternative pedagogies in all aspects of my teaching, and I engage whole-heartedly in student mentoring. I was also, in 2011-2012, the faculty sponsor for Laurier's chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, a human rights and equity group which employs parallels from the Harry Potter series in its civic engagement.

Roberto Di Matteo has called for a 'perfect game' from his side if we are to beat Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday night, a task made harder by the absence of Ashley Cole through injury.
We approach tomorrow evening's game knowing anything less than a win, combined with a Juventus victory in Italy against FC Nordsjaelland, will make qualification for the knockout stages difficult.
Di Matteo, however, believes his men are well prepared for must-win matches, having come through similar fixtures last season on our way to lifting the European Cup in Munich, and has no concerns about once again throwing Ryan Bertrand into the line-up.
'Ashley won't be available for tomorrow. He has a problem with his hamstring. He shouldn't be too long out but the game tomorrow is too soon for him,' Di Matteo confirmed.
'It's a real shame because he's got all the experience you need in games like this so it is a real blow for us. On the other hand JT is available again for us. In these games over a long season you have to take into consideration that you might have a few injuries.
'Ryan has always performed very well for us every time he has played. He has that little bit of experience which helps and I have confidence he will play a great game.'
Di Matteo hopes to have David Luiz and Juan Mata back in contention but will not know until after Tuesday evening's training session at Stamford Bridge, while Frank Lampard remains out.
'We need to wait for the last session tonight to check the availability for tomorrow and see how they come through tonight in the training session,' he said.
'Frank is still about seven to 10 days away, so we will have to wait and see how he progresses but he is not far away.'
Having been beaten 2-1 in Donetsk a fortnight ago, Di Matteo will expect better from his players on home soil but appreciates the size of the task facing them in a side that is dominating their own Ukrainian league and shows no fear away from home.
'I think we need to be at our best. We need a perfect game,' the manager said. 'Every player on the pitch needs to perform at the highest of their ability.
'In Donetsk the early goal helped them massively, and then to play a bit on the counter, so it's important we start well and get the crowd behind us, and draw confidence from a good start.
'The way they went to Turin and played shows the confidence they have. At home we're a very strong team and will need to show it, put them under pressure and score the goals we need.'
Typically for an Italian coach, Di Matteo will also be demanding defensive discipline from his players.
'You look at the goals in the Champions League and the ones we have conceded we have many players behind the ball, it isn't like we have been caught out,' he explained. 'Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition for the quality they have, but we have to focus on what we can do and the problems we can create for the opposition.
'Our defensive organisation has been good. We've had defensive mistakes but when we're fully focused we're a very good team.'
Asked what his side's secret to success in this competition has been, Di Matteo took a second to think before responding.
'One is the strong mentality this team has, and the experience they have of performing in big games like this, not to feel the pressure too much, and also good players,' he reasoned. 'We have good players in our ranks and when they manage to perform at their best we are a very strong team.
'We've had must-win games and tomorrow is another one like that. We need to play a perfect game tomorrow against Shakhtar, but we are strong at home. We found that over many years and we will be fired up to win it.'
After defeat in Donetsk, Di Matteo reckoned we would need to win our two remaining home games, against Shakhtar and Nordsjaelland, if we are to avoid being the first reigning champions not to make it out of the Champions League group stages, and it is a claim he stands by.
'We certainly have to win our home games, I still believe that and hopefully we can do that tomorrow. If we win it's in our hands and that's what we want,' he said. 'It's important for the club to have a successful campaign and that means we need to win tomorrow.'
Di Matteo also gave his reaction to the news that Stamford Bridge will be hosting the Women's Champions League Final in 2013.
'For us it's a great honour to be able to organise sch a big game at Stamford Bridge,' he said. 'I admire women's football, I do watch it, the national football, and I think we will be a great host here for the Final.'
