I read somewhere that if you're not well adjusted socially; you may have missed out on an important piece of your childhood developmental process. Well, I'm here to tell you that though I may not be a social giant, I didn't skip any of it. As Frank Heger was leading me on hands and knees over some of the most rocky geography you've ever seen and through hideous thorn bushes loaded with every imaginable prickly object or creepy insect, I was catching up on my childhood crawling whether I needed it or not. I was pretty confident this wasn't going to help me adjust to adulthood in the slightest. Here I was in Africa on my dream hunt, and I was on my hands and knees. What in the world would prompt a grown man to subject himself to something so ridiculous?
This whole thing started about a year ago when I got a call from my hunting partner, Gale Palmer, saying that he had booked "us" on an African safari. I'm always up for a new escapade, so I said "why not". During that year, we dreamed and planned and packed and got ready for this big adventure. But not one time did anyone mention anything about crawling on my hands and knees through snake infested terrain. Oh, we were told there were snakes all right, but we were assured that we would not see any. As you crawl through bushes and grass with your nose twelve inches from the ground, what else do you expect to see? I had visions of me and a black mamba doing the mambo.
Our first full day in Namibia began with a grand, European style breakfast of cold cut meats, cheeses, assorted breads, scrambled eggs and bacon, all washed down with a cup of strong coffee. I think they were trying to numb me up for what lay ahead. Then it was out to the target range to make sure our rifles made the twenty-four hour marathon trip without loosing zero. After a few shots, we were satisfied that Gale's new steel gun case had done its job.
Frank spent another two hours with his comprehensive and informative hunting orientation. He gave us guidelines on gun safety, how to shoot off a set of sticks, proper shot placement on African game and methods of stalking. You would think that with a couple of college degrees, I would have picked up his little dog and pony thing about crawling on my hands and knees. We even had to practice it, but he didn't say we would really have to DO IT.
Then it was back to the house for more food. Seared tenderloin of gemsbok, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy and lots of tea.... more of the "numb him up" thing. I could get used to this kind of cooking. If we kept this up, they'd have to roll me out of this place. We took a short nap to let our lunch settle, had another round of coffee and cookies, and it was finally time for our first hunt. I was filled with anticipation and excitement. My mental vision of an African hunt was to ride along in some open safari truck, complete with a brown, white and pink stripped canvas awning to keep the sun off my bald head, spot a group of clueless animals grazing peacefully on the open prairie, pick out the one I wanted, and dispatch it quickly and easily. Boy was I in for a surprise!
We pulled past the front gate and Frank started slowly cruising through the bush on what may have been considered a road a century ago. The idea was for someone, usually one of the Namibian trackers, to spot game and then we'd execute a stalk. I was sitting in the front seat of the old Willies Jeep with my Browning 338 Win. Mag. secured to the dash in front of me. Gale and my brother-in-law Dave Gordon were riding on elevated seats in the back. The Jeep is equipped for maximum visibility while being able to transport several hunters.
I was amazed at how quickly the trackers could spot game. Martin, one of the three men on Frank's crew, was along this afternoon and it didn't take long for him to click his two-way radio which signaled that he had seen animals. It took me a bit longer to catch movement and recognize it as game. At least two hundred yards into the bush, I made out several gemsboks, often known as Oryx. They seemed to be playing as they chased each other back and forth through the trees. These are beautiful animals with saber like horns that end in a point about thirty-six inches from the head. They are an aggressive animal that you might not want to challenge in fencing.
Frank slipped out of the jeep, told me to chamber a round and follow him. He placed me between himself and Martin and off we went. Sneaking the best we could, we stole through the underbrush at a snails pace. Up ahead, we saw movement but again they were on the move, streaking through the afternoon sun, putting distance between us. We kept pressing on and I was wondering how Frank knew where to go. We saw them at least two or three more times and we just kept going on.
Finally, Martin pointed far ahead and whispered something in Afrikaans. (The language used by those born in Africa but of European descent) We ducked behind a bush and Frank motioned for me to be quiet. What did he think I'd already been doing? We moved on at the pace of a three-legged turtle, always trying to keep something between us and the gemsbok. It was then that Frank indicated he wanted me on my knees. I looked ahead and it was nothing but rocks, stickers, thorns, more stickers and tall grass. Frank led the way and I followed, using the butt of my rifle as one of my hands. I hope he didn't think this was fun. I pinched myself to make sure I was really here in Africa doing what I had dreamed of for so long.
Slowly, we inched our way closer and closer to the unaware gemsbok. They had finally settled down to rest in the middle of a dry, sandy riverbed. Some of them were lying down and some were standing. It appeared that every angle was covered by an alert animal and it was not easy to approach these wary creatures undetected. We were trying to remain below the level of the tall grass. Frank pulled to a halt behind a tree and we glassed through the branches. There must have been twenty gemsboks and they were nervously milling around. In this country, there is always something after you. You are either prey or are being preyed upon and your survival depends on awareness.
We glassed the group and Frank told me to look at the third animal from the right. He said she was a large cow with nice horns. She was standing straight on staring holes through the tree we were pinned behind. We slid out from behind some branches giving me an open shot. Though our movement was painfully slow and low, the gemsbok became edgy. They began fidgeting around looking for the danger they "felt". This had been an unusually wet fall and the grass was tall. Without the ability to see clearly, the animals were on a semi-permanent state of alert. I continued to glass and saw another animal that looked a bit bigger than the others. I whispered to Frank to check it out. He said it was a nice bull and I could choose which one I wanted. I opted for the bull.
Frank set the Stony Point shooting sticks up and I placed the forearm of my rifle in the "V". This was a new experience, as I've never shot off sticks before. The bull turned broadside while some of the others slowly began moving away. I settled the crosshairs of my Leopold scope low behind his front shoulder and squeezed the trigger. Maybe I should rephrase that; I "yanked" the trigger. At the shot, the herd erupted in a cloud of dust. There was no way I was going to follow the bull to see if he was going to fall. I just watched as the last ones disappeared. Everything became eerily silent as even the birds had momentarily quit squawking. Frank jumped to his feet and told me to reload. He quickly set off towards the riverbed. I followed..... and that's when I saw him... my gemsbok bull laying on the ground right where he'd been standing. He was trying to get up. Frank told me to shoot if he made it to his feet.
We moved in and Frank told me I had clipped the spinal column. He was not going anywhere but needed the final shot. At thirty yards, I put one into the heart. It ended as quickly as it had started. I was soon standing over a spectacular gemsbok bull with long sweeping horns and a beautifully marked face. This was real. I had just taken my first African game.
After hands were shaken and pictures taken, the animal was loaded into the back of the jeep and we made the trip back to the ranch. There, the animals are caped, skinned, cleaned, quartered and put into the cooler. From the time they are down to the time they are in the cooler is not much over an hour. Frank has an efficient system and nothing is damaged or wasted. The animals are treated with respect and the meat kept clean for consumption. We found gemsbok to be some of the best meat we've ever eaten.
Frank measured the horns of my gemsbok and they taped out at 220 points, easily qualifying him as a gold medal bull. I wasn't all that concerned about what medal he qualified for; I just wanted a nice specimen to hang on my wall, but this was a bonus.
If crawling on your hands and knees through rocks and thorns and bugs, with the prospect of hooking up with a black mamba to do the mambo appeals to you, this is the place you want to go. And who knows, it may take you back through some skipped childhood development and you'll come out a better person. I know I am.

South Africa-born Elliott, 33, who played the last of his 37
ODIs more than two years ago, was called up after Anderson
broke his left thumb after being struck on the hand while
Anderson, 22, played in all three Twenty20 internationals
against South Africa in December and had been retained in the
ODI squad for the three-match series this month before he was
injured in a domestic match.
His thumb is in a cast for the next two weeks.
"We decided to replace him (Anderson) with another batting
all-rounder in Grant Elliott," Black Caps coach Mike Hesson
"Grant comes into the squad with invaluable knowledge and
experience of South African conditions."
Elliott last played for New Zealand in a one-day
international against India in December 2010.
He averages 32.54 with the bat, scoring 115 against Australia
in 2009, and has taken 19 wickets with the ball.

I'm writing a template page for a personal site I'm designing, and I'm going to be using drop-down DIV tags for the log-in form.
I'm also using Google Chrome as my primary testing, etc. browser, and noticed that all visible Elements appear to have a property called 'hidden' that holds a boolean value.
It works just like you'd expect, becoming hidden when set to True and visible when set to False.
document.getElementById("element").hidden = true;
document.getElementById("element").hidden = false;
Strangely enough, even Firefox 8.0.1 handles this in the same manner.
As my Google-fu hasn't been able to turn up any information on this, does anybody here know why this appears to be working, and how many other browsers support this?
I will add that this website I'm building is for my personal use, so cross-browser-compatibility is not intended, but would be a nice side-effect.

The Merzetti Effect (A Vampire Romance Book 1)
By Norah Wilson / Genre: Fantasy, Romance / Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (56 reviews)
Delano Bowen has been a medical doctor for a very long time. More than 170 years, in fact. For much of that time, he's been searching for a way to reverse the curse foisted on him by a vampress who sought to own him. With the emergence of medical technology, he now also aims to develop a vaccine to protect the vulnerable from predation by rogue vampires. After a century of searching, he thinks he's found the key to his vaccine – a surviving descendent of the Merzetti family. The Merzettis were virtually hunted to extinction over the years by rogue vampires who feared the anti-vampirism properties in their blood.
A foundling, nurse Ainsley Crawford has no idea that she carries a genetic gift, and Delano aims to keep it that way. He must keep her close, and ignorant, for he can leave nothing to chance. He manipulates events to ensure her unwitting cooperation. But when Delano's arch enemy Radak Janecek mounts an all-out assault to destroy Delano and the fruits of his research, Delano is forced to draw Ainsley even closer to protect her. Inevitably, the attraction that has sparked between them from the first flares hot and urgent. Ainsley sees no reason why that attraction shouldn't be consummated, but Delano knows succumbing to it is not just ill-advised; it could literally be the death of him.

Media Framing
posted by December 8 at 12:31 PMon
Today's Seattle Times story about a proposal to reduce or eliminate the amount of parking commercial and residential developers must provide (also linked here) frames the proposal entirely in terms of inconvenience to driversfrom the headline ("Think parking's hard to find? It could get worse in Seattle") to the body of the story:
Parking spaces may become harder to find in Seattle, but there could be more greenery to admire while you're looking.
To get people out of their cars, sprout new neighborhood commerce, and grow a greener city, the Seattle City Council may tell developers and businesses they no longer need to provide parking in some areas, but will need to plant more grass.
The proposed rules, which Councilman Peter Steinbrueck calls the most sweeping change to commercial land-use laws in two decades, could make parking tougher across the city.
Rather than mocking the proposal to require more open green space (not "grass") and whining repeatedly about "tougher parking," the Times could have talked about the benefit to businesses in urban villages (which won't have to provide expensive and often unnecessary parking), to pedestrians (who will benefit as the city creates public spaces that are bike and pedestrian oriented instead of car dependent), or to the environment (which will benefit by the addition of green roofs and open spaces, which mitigate the "heat island" effect of cities and absorb greenhouse-gas pollution). Instead, the Times writes everyone but harried shoppers driving their cars to neighborhood businesses out of the story.

To determine the ocular manifestations of inverting the human body into a head-down vertical position, we evaluated normal volunteers with applanation tonometry, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and ophthalmodynamometry. Compared with data obtained in the sitting position, the intraocular pressure more than doubled on inversion (35.6 ±4 v 14.1±2.8 mm Hg, n=16), increasing to levels well within the glaucomatous range. Pressures in the central retinal artery underwent similar increases, while the caliber of the retinal arterioles decreased substantially. External ocular findings associated with gravity inversion included orbital congestion, conjunctival hyperemia, petechiae of the eyelids, excessive tearing (epiphora), and subconjunctival hemorrhage. We suggest that patients with retinal vascular abnormalities, macular degeneration, ocular hypertension, glaucoma, and similar disorders refrain from inversion altogether. Whether normal individuals will suffer irreversible damage from inversion is uncertain, but it seems prudent to recommend that prolonged periods of inverted posturing be avoided.

I live in Texas now but grew up on Coventry, Conn. I love New England especially in August when its 100 degrees here. If I had to give up all my magazines but one it would be Yankee I kept. When it arrives there is nothing done all afternoon till I have read it. I cry a bit thinking of times gone by. Like the time when I was about 15 and climbed to the top of Mt Washington with our pastor and his daughter. We were so ignorant of what we needed and how to get to the top and back down again thru Tuckerman Ravine. I grew up on a chicken farm and went to one room schools til we got bussed to high school in Manchester. Life was hard but the perks were also good. I hope Yankee magazine goes on and on another 80 years although as I think on it I am older than Yankee by 5 years.
All the best to you and your staff and Yankee magazine

text: My team wasn't built around trolling, but it ended as a total troll. The team works fine, but occasionally I am swept, so I need a little help. So here's the team building. Conkeldurr was a reliable team member, so I decided to use it as the team's base. Along with that, I needed something to stop any faster powerful attackers, so I thought I'd try Dusclops. Mamoswine was needed to stop any Dragons, along with finishing weakened pokemon. I liked the way the team was coming, but I needed something reliable to stop all the bulky pokemon and be the same itself. Dragonite was added as a "back-up" plan. If things go wrong, I'll need something to fix it. And then the lead. Golduck sounds gimmicky at first, but it actually does okay. The Team Golduck (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Cloud Nine EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Yawn - Boil Over - Ice Beam - Toxic Golduck was the first thing I could think of as a lead, so I tried it, and it worked fine. It seems to always status one or two things, and seriously damage a lot. Cloud Nine was the main reason for why I chose him, however it dosen't really make a difference. I noticed that most leads other than Politoed are pretty weak to it, so that's where the rest of the team comes in. Roobushin (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Encourage EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Drain Punch - Rock Slide - Substitute - Payback There isn't much to explain other than Rock Slide. First of all, Encourage boost's it's power to 100, and it keeps the 90 accuracy making it a better Stone Edge. It also outclasses Mach Punch because usually, I can rely on his bulk along with Sub to let him attack. It catches many things off guard such as Gyarados and Zapdos. Dusclops (M) @ Evolution Stone Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Night Shade - Toxic - Pain Split - Disable This set is suprisingly effective. This is how it works: I poison whatever it is that I switch him in on. Then, I use Disable. This makes certain that nothing will hit him super effective, because I don't know many pokemon who carry ghost and dark in the same set. By the time that I do this, I use Pain Split to weaken them and strengthen me. Then Night Shade finishes it. Then, I have half health, they're pokemon is dead, and the next pokemon will be poisoned and Pain Splitted. This pokemon is extremely bulky, so I can switch this in on most things without a problem. Mamoswine (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Oblivious EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Ice Shard - Endeavor - Superpower This thing kills any dragon or weakened enemy. Ice Shard dents anything, and EQ and SP OHKO many threats. The focus sash is nessesary, because SR and spikes are way less common, so I can freely use Endeavor on faster threats and Ice Shard them, Rattata style. Thick Fat isn't used because otherwise the only move I could use would be EQ. Bronzong @ Leftovers Trait: Heatproof EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Stealth Rock - Grass Knot - Psychic - Iron Defense This isn't my most helpful member, but it deals out damage easily. Iron Defense needs to be changed for something else, but I don't know what. I can easily set up rocks to weaken the many many flying types out there, and Psychic hits hard to finish them. Grass Knot is for all the heavy ground types which are quite scary to my team. Dragonite (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Multi-Scale EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Roost This is my back up plan as I said earlier. Not much can come in the way of this thing, due to it's near perfect coverage and Multi-Scale + Roost. If something defensive comes in, then I get the perfect chance to DDance a few times and sweep with ease. Leftovers and Lum Berry are a constant change for me, to help from SS and Hail, but Lum Protects me from Breloom's Spore. So that is my team, that I generally poison most pokemon and weaken them all in. Please help me find a way to improve it.

I'm Down 0-40, a double break, and two sets to none

YANMD: When to get concerned about rotator cuff and elbow joint pain
I'm a manual wheelchair user. It's getting more common that I have rotator cuff pain (or what I imagine is from my rotator cuff) and elbow joint pain after long bouts of wheeling. The pain is not life-altering and goes away after a day or so. It doesn't bother me but for the fact that I realize that this is a sign of things to come. Can you help me decide whether to pursue therapy/doctor intervention? [more inside]
Elbow injury... advice and healing procedure suggestions please
I injured my elbow or forearm while bouldering (climbing at relatively short heights without a rope). I have never had an elbow or arm injury and need some advice on a) what I may have done and b) how to manage it while it heals. Main points: I have gone to a doctor, x-rays were taken, as expected the arm is not broken, nothing further was done at the doc's office. I think it was a purely rotational injury, not compressional. Plenty more details under the cut. [more inside]
My arms ache from constant computer usage. Any tips / recommendations?
I have a dull, constant pain mostly around my elbows and forearms. I'm entrenched in a technology lifestyle - I work with computers full-time, enjoy gaming in my free-time, and hold my phone up to my face in bed. The pain impacts many activities I deem valuable. How can I mitigate or prevent this pain without drastically altering my lifestyle? I understand you are not my doctor. [more inside]
Hell-bow Elbow
I had a severe fall on my elbow in August 2013 and after all the tests, I was told it's a complete burst of the bursa sac/bursitis. Have tried physio/acupuncture/reiki/cortisone shot with no relief (but swelling is down). What can I do to help with the pain??? [more inside]
Elbow joint very sore, any ways to speed up the healing process?
Didn't touch a DSLR for months, then this past weekend, went to photograph a festival going stage to stage carrying heavy lenses for ~8 hours a day. Just tired the next day. But the following day, can barely move my right arm. [more inside]
So... over the course of the day my elbow has gone weird looking - it's red and swollen and sort of squooshy feeling. The skin feels warm to the touch and it is tender. Doctor Google tells me it's probably Bursitis. So... I should probably go get it checked out. But is it a rush to the docs tonight thing or a wait to tomorrow thing?
Help me with my inner elbow pain!
I get inner elbow pain from playing racquetball or rock climbing. What's going on and how do I fix it? [more inside]

Right now my batteries are not in my laptop. I can physically see there are none. Its plugged in and i arrived to my comp to see it sleeping. I also notice the display was dim like it would be on battery. I went to power settings and saw it set to balance and checked out the settings. When Plugged in it in fact doesnt sleep. I changed this so the screen would dim on 1 min on battery 2 on plug.
What do you know. A minute later it dims.
How do i fix this?
-edit- it seems like a simple restart fixed this. I was in the middle of a run and the app supports no resume so i put it on hibernate. It was getting annoying coming back to find the machine asleep instead of running a job. So, i think restart is a solution.

Amazing location on the beach!Posted Jul 30, 2016
Pros: Your people were very professional and friendly! Loved the location right on the beach!
Cons: Because we ate there a lot, maybe more fun menu items! More snack items in the gift shop too! Overall a great experience!
Location: The location is perfect if you want more privacy than being on the public beaches! It is very close to the Galleria which is perfect for a shopper.
We loved staying at the Pelican Grand! The people/staff is what makes this hotel so amazing! Every person we came into contact with were accommodating and friendly! From Meagan in the Gift Shop to the friendly young men that helped us with our pool and beach chairs, to the ladies in the restaurant/bar area, the lady who took care of our room and the gentleman that retrieved our car for us...everyone was very professional and kind! Thank you for a great experience!

Hotel locationPosted Jul 25, 2016
Pros: Room was very accommodating. Clean and made me feel at home being able to look at television in a family room atmosphere.
Cons: Everyone does not eat pork. Recommend choosing turkey bacon or turkey sausage or grilled/fried chicken breast to be served with breakfast.
Location: First time in Ft Lauderdale and we thought the location was great. Did not have a difficult time navigating the city.
Wonderful having the hotel located on the beach not having to cross highway.

All that one could ever want for a vacation is herPosted Jun 21, 2016
Pros: The location is beautiful! The resort is beautiful as well.
The beautiful and well maintained beach is immediately outside the rooms, no need to cross streets to get there. The staff is superb and greet you with positive, welcoming attitudes. The food was great, the menu changed to offer selection. The room was large and very clean. We stayed on the second floor overlooking the ocean and had a large patio with the best views of the beautiful sunrises. The pool and lazy river are also nice features. Thank you for making our vacation a truly relaxing one!

Upgraded to a headachePosted Jun 15, 2016
We were upgraded to an oceanfront room on 10th fl, however it was right below a wedding ceremony so we had migraine headaches until it ended at 10 PM. They only offered to downgrade us back to 3rd floor at 9:55pm. Other than that the room and the view was beautiful!

Posted May 15, 2016
Cons: More pool/beach servers; a gym
My husband and I stayed at the Pelican Grand 5/6-5/9 with friends. Great time had by all! The one downfall about our stay was that over the weekend (on Saturday & Sunday), the hotel was not allowing any alcoholic beverage service on the beach. We were told it was because of the air show, however hotels all around us, were providing that hospitality for their guests. We could certainly get drinks served to us by the pool at the Pelican Grand, but we really wanted to be on the beach.

Outstanding weekend at Pelican Grand!Posted May 14, 2016
Pros: location; view, staff, nice rooms....
Cons: keep the fire pit out every night!
Location: golfed at Plantation preserve, ate out at several different spots; but great just to hang at the property too.
My wife and I have been here (3) times now, and will be back for a 4th for sure!

Beautiful beachside resort.Posted May 13, 2016
Really nice hotel with great beach. Room is big, tasteful and comfortable. Restaurant food was excellent. Beach staff was very accommodating as was valet parking staff. Good job, guys! Two bothersome things particular to our room - the cooling system didn't cool all that well keeping us warm. Our balcony in the SW corner of the hotel always smelled of cooking oil, day and night. Stinky!

Fans of boobs and Rachael Rotten will pick this up.
In Boobs A Poppin' 4, four luscious ladies display their top-notch racks before engaging in some one-on-one hardcore sex. The theme here is au-natural boobies and, boy, does this deliver.
When we meet each dame, a description of their background pops up for the viewer to read. Sheridan is a busty blonde who enjoys titty fuckin' and reverse cowgirl. Brittney is a 19-year-old who enjoys a good deep throat and likes to take charge and be on top, while Solara is a goth girl in fishnets who digs getting it from behind.
But the leader of the pack here is clearly punky Rachael Rotten, whose pierced, perfect rack is one of the best in the biz. The site of her flopping in reverse cowgirl mode is a delight. With her Betty Page looks and nasty sex skills, Rotten is gonna be the next big thing, and we'll see a lot more of her.

Writer, director, and star Angelina Jolie Pitt's drama By the Sea will make its world premiere Nov. 5 as the opening film of AFI Fest, organizers have announced.
Reuniting Jolie Pitt and husband Brad Pitt on screen for the first time in a decade, By the Sea follows an American writer and his wife as they arrive in a picturesque seaside resort in 1970s France with their marriage on the rocks. Jolie Pitt has said the film, her directorial follow-up to Unbroken, is inspired by European cinema and theater of the '60s and '70s.
AFI chief Bob Gazzale said in a statement, "Time and again, Angelina Jolie Pitt has proven herself an artist of the highest caliber. It is an honor for AFI to celebrate her latest story with its world premiere — and in doing so — to shine a proper light upon her boundless creative energies as actor, director, writer, and producer."
Jolie Pitt added that "AFI has long supported the boldness and experimentation that accompanies provocative cinema."
The 29th AFI Fest runs Nov. 5-12 in Hollywood. Last year J.C. Chandor's crime drama A Most Violent Year opened the festival.
Universal Pictures will release By the Sea on Nov. 13.
Via: EW
Would you expect anything less than arresting beauty from a film starring Angelina Jolie Pitt and Brad Pitt? But the actress, who also wrote and directed this film about an estranged married couple struggling with grief, says that setting By the Sea in the 1970s wasn't without its aesthetic challenges. "It makes me happy when people say the movie looks period but also beautiful," she says. "I was little in the '70s, and to see our old pictures, well…" She laughs. "It was not great."
Filming took place in Malta last August, with the quiet island of Goza standing in for seaside France. Cinematographer Christian Berger (The White Ribbon) kept the look of the production as realistic as possible. "It's all natural light so it doesn't feel artificial," Jolie Pitt says. "When we did scenes, we didn't have big lighting setups in our face for close-ups." That stripped-down intimacy helped with some of the film's heavier moments. "We watch this couple go off the track and we wait to see if it gets more unhealthy, or if they will recover," she says. "I think too often people go through very painful transformative experiences and they don't stay together. They abandon each other."
The reverse was true for the newly wedded stars — who worked on the film during their honeymoon — though it certainly wasn't without its darker moments. "It was an emotionally charged set," Jolie Pitt says. "Even though the characters are very different from us, when you act you still express real emotion." Luckily, the couple's six kids were on hand to ground them. "It's impossible to bring your work home with you when you have to snap out of it for your children," she says. "It wasn't easy for either of us, but when we walked away, we were closer than we had been."
By the Sea opens Nov. 13.
Via: EW.com
Universal Pictures today announced that it will release By the Sea, Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie Pitt's directorial follow-up to the studio's Unbroken, on November 13, 2015, domestically. International releases for the film will build around this date.
Written, directed and produced by Jolie Pitt, the dramatic film stars Brad Pitt and Jolie Pitt, who are supported by an international ensemble led by Mélanie Laurent, Niels Arestrup, Melvil Poupaud and Richard Bohringer.
By the Sea follows an American writer named Roland (Pitt) and his wife, Vanessa (Jolie Pitt), who arrive in a tranquil and picturesque seaside resort in 1970s France, their marriage in apparent crisis. As they spend time with fellow travelers, including young newlyweds Lea (Laurent) and François (Poupaud), and village locals Michel (Arestrup) and Patrice (Bohringer), the couple begins to come to terms with unresolved issues in their own lives.
In its style, and its treatment of themes of the human experience,By the Sea is inspired by European cinema and theater of the '60s and '70s.
"This is a story about a relationship derailed by loss, the tenacity of love, and the path to recovery and acceptance," said Jolie Pitt. "It has been a privilege to explore these universal human experiences with such a generous and talented cast and crew."
"Angie and Brad have created an intimate gem of a film that will surprise people and delivers an experience they might not expect from them," said Donna Langley, Chairman, Universal Pictures. "Universal is honored to market and distribute it to audiences around the world."
Jolie Pitt is joined behind the scenes by a key crew that includes cinematographer Christian Berger (The White Ribbon), who used his Cine Reflect Lighting System to shoot the film; production designer Jon Hutman (Unbroken); editor Patricia Rommel (The Lives of Others); and costume designer Ellen Mirojnick (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps). Pitt joins her in production duties, while Chris Brigham (Inception), Holly Goline (Unbroken) and Michael Vieira (Unbroken) serve as executive producers.
Brad Pitt will star in an untitled romantic thriller for Paramount with Robert Zemeckis directing from a Steve Knight script.
Graham King, who developed the project, is producing alongside Zemeckis and Steve Starkey. The project will be produced through King's GK Films banner with New Regency. Executive producers are Jack Rapke, Knight, Patrick McCormick and Denis O'Sullivan.
The logline for Knight's script is being kept under wraps.
Pitt was last seen in "Fury" and recently finished filming "By the Sea" with spouse Angelina Jolie, who's starring and directing.
Zemeckis' directing credits at Paramount include 1994's "Forrest Gump" and 2012's "Flight." He is in post-production on "The Walk," starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Philippe Petit as he crossed the Twin Towers on a tightrope, which is set for an October release from Sony.
King and Knight are also partnered on the action-thriller "The Red Circle," a remake of the French film "Le Cercle Rouge," reset in Hong Kong. Knight wrote the script and is producing under GK Films.
Knight's credits include "The Hundred-Foot Journey" and "Dirty Pretty Things."He also directed Tom Hardy in "Locke."
King produced "Rango" and "The Departed."
Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock are attached to star in the UNTITLED WAR OF THE ROSES PROJECT. The currently untitled War of the Roses style divorce comedy follows a couple who host a HSN/QVC show who trudge through their divorce on air. Pitt and Bullock will play the male and female lead, respectively.
The project is currently in development, and will be produced by Pitt and Dede Gardner for Plan B Entertainment. Brad Weston and Pam Abby will oversee for New Regency, while Sarah Esberg will oversee production. The A-list comedy is currently OWA.
Pitt recently starred in Fury and executive produced the upcoming drama True Story, starring Jonah Hill and James Franco. Up next, he'll star in By the Sea and The Big Short. He'll also produce an astounding number of films, including The Lost City of Z and Anonymous vs. Steubenville.
Bullock most recently starred in the Oscar-nominated Gravity, opposite George Clooney. The Oscar winner will next lend her voice to the Despicable Me spinoff Minions and will star in the comedy Our Brand Is Crisis. She's also producing the Christmas comedy Jingle and executive producing the Untitled Pamela Falk/Michael Ellis Project.
Bullock is repped by CAA. Pitt is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Basically my site itself will not be very complex at all, but I'm willing to pay thru-the-nose for that "so-web2.0-PC" look that everyone seems to go for these days.
Where can I find designers who are capable of doing this?
Although have a good think if you want another generic web2 rubbish look, people are tiring of them these days. Maybe do something new?

text:
A defendant in a criminal case has a right to a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution. A person's right to a speedy trial arises only after the government has formally accused that person of a crime, either by arresting or indicting the person.
The right to a speedy trial keeps defendants from sitting in jail for an indefinite period before trial. It also improves the chances that an adequate defense can be prepared. If a trial is delayed for a long time then witnesses may start to disappear, evidence may be lost or destroyed and memories may fade.
Test for Speedy Trial Violations
Courts look at four factors when deciding whether a defendant's right to a speedy trial has been violated. The factors are:
- Length of the delay
- Reasons for the delay
- Prejudice or harm to defendant caused by delay
- Whether defendant demanded a speedy trial and at what stage of criminal proceedings
Length of Delay
There isn't an absolute time limit that is considered too long of a delay. Courts use a balancing test where the length of delay is just one factor used in determining whether a speedy trial has been denied.
Generally, it is presumed that a defendant was denied a speedy trial if there is a delay of a year or more from the date of arrest. The government may overcome this presumption by giving a good reason for the delay.
Reason for Delay
The reason for a delay is looked at because a defendant may not benefit from his own misconduct. Therefore, if a defendant's own actions lengthen the pretrial phase, the defendant may not claim a denial of speedy trial.
The government may delay a trial for practical reasons. For example, the government may need time to get an absent witness to be present at trial. However, the prosecution can't delay the trial for its own advantage. Also, any delays due to the government's negligent action, such as misplacing a defendant's file, do violate a defendant's right to a speedy trial.
Prejudice Caused by Delay
A significant delay may cause prejudice to a defendant. Prejudice can be shown by a loss of evidence, witnesses and memory. The death of a key witness or the inability of witnesses to recall evidence is enough to show prejudice after a long delay.
Demand for Speedy Trial
A defendant can lose his claim of being denied a speedy trial. Generally, a defendant shouldn't accept long pretrial delays and should assert his speedy trial right early in a criminal proceeding. A defendant can't silently allow a delay and later claim his right to a speedy trial was denied.
Defendant May Waive Speedy Trial Rights
A defendant may waive his speedy trial rights by voluntarily entering a guilty plea. A defendant can also waive his right to a speedy trial by filing frivolous pretrial motions.
Remedy Is No Further Prosecution
If a court decides a defendant's right to a speedy trial was denied, no further prosecution takes place. Depending on the remedy requested by a defendant, one of the following will occur:
- Indictment will be dismissed
- Convictions will be overturned
- Sentence will be vacated
Questions for Your Attorney
- How long of a delay is considered too long and therefore a denial of a speedy trial?
- Can a delay caused by the defendant be a violation of the defendant's speedy trial right?
- What will a court do if it decides a defendant's right to a speedy trial was denied?

A Dog of Flanders is a 1999 film directed by Kevin Brodie. The screenplay was written by Brodie and Robert Singer, based on the novel of the same name by Ouida. The film was shot on location in Belgium.[1] It was the fifth film based on the original novel.
|This section requires expansion. (November 2013)
Nello is a young boy whose mother died when he was a child. He lives with his grandfather, Jehan Daas (Jack Warden). They live a poor existence, eking out a living delivering milk. On the way home they find a Bouvier des Flandres dog beaten and left on the side of the path for dead. Nursed back to health, this working dog of Flanders becomes Nello's companion throughout the movie.
He has a friend named Anna Cogez who is his lifelong companion. Her father Nicholas Cogez owns the local mill. The wicked landlord is a vile man who is evil. Nello is an artist who rests his hopes on winning a famous art contest. As time passes and Nello grows older, the mill owner bans Nello from visiting his daughter, Nello's friend.
One night, the evil landlord accidentally burns the mill to the ground and Nello is blamed by Nicholas. His grandfather dies shortly thereafter. People stop buying Nello's milk, and things turn bad for him. He is evicted by the landlord and loses the art contest. Walking through the city streets, Nello finds the mill owner's wallet containing a vast sum of money. This is Christmas Day and he returns the wallet to the mill owner's house, and departs into a Christmas Day winter blizzard. He seeks shelter in a church where there is a Rubens painting. He then has a dream of dying and that no one loves him. He decides that he wants to live his life after all.
He is found by the mill owner and his daughter. His father is a very famous artist, Michael La Grande (Jon Voight), who did not know Nello was his son but had been encouraging his artwork. In the end this is realized, and all live happily ever after.[2]

Critical reception[edit]
Stephen Holden of The New York Times did not care for the film:
|Some sugarcoating is only to be expected in a family movie. But when that film is clogged with sticky-sweet pieties cooed to saucer-eyed tots, the product can be difficult to swallow... A Dog of Flanders is directed by Kevin Brodie in a style that might charitably be called "Christmas pageant cute". Even Mr. Voight, one of our most reliable character actors, is hopelessly wooden. Flailing around in this sea of sugary bromides, he adopts an accent even more indeterminate than the one he came up with for Anaconda.[3]

Women's Health
When Your Period Signals a Problem
As you probably learned back in middle school, menstruation is the monthly shedding of your uterine lining. Though it can be uncomfortable and sometimes inconvenient, your period is your body's way of telling you that your reproductive system is working properly.
Just as every woman is unique, every woman's period has its own personality. Some periods are short, others are long. Some are heavy, others are light.
Recommended Related to Women
By Jessie Knadler You didn't see it coming. You didn't even feel it land — until a split second later when you suddenly realize you've had the wind knocked out of you. What just hit you? Someone's nasty comment, and it's cut you to the core. Sometimes a faultfinder disguises her disapproval as a quasi-compliment: "I would have never had the courage to talk to my boss the way you did." Other times, a jab takes the form of a cautionary tale: "You're going on a cruise? I still get nightmares...

After a few years' worth of monthly bleeding, most women start to get a feel for their period's frequency, duration, and flow. When something out of the ordinary happens -- such as spotting between periods or an exceptionally heavy flow -- it's natural to wonder what's going on.
Is There Such a Thing as a Normal Period?
Not really. The average woman's menstrual cycle is 28 days long, and the average period lasts for three to five days, but there can be huge menstrual cycle variations from woman to woman.
"Three days is normal for some women, seven days is normal for others," says Franklin Loffer, MD, executive vice president and medical director of AAGL (formerly known as the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists). Similarly, the normal period flow can be heavier in some women than in others.
Rather than worrying about the length or frequency of your period, you need to consider whether anything has changed.
"A woman should really be tracking her own menstrual cycle, because it provides huge numbers of clues about whether something's not right," says Frances Ginsburg, MD, director of reproductive endocrinology at Stamford Hospital in Stamford, Conn., and assistant professor of clinical obstetrics/gynecology in the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Here are some common menstrual period changes, and what they might mean.
Your Period Has Slowed or Stopped
The big question if you're not getting your period is -- how old are you?
The cause of a missing menstrual period (called amenorrhea) varies by age. "To quit having periods at age 25 is a significantly different issue than quitting at age 50," Loffer says.
For a woman in her 20s or 30s who is sexually active, pregnancy is always a possibility. "Even if a woman thinks she's protected, that's not an absolute guarantee," Loffer says.

|N° 37 - May 2003
| SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES - An anthropologist takes stock
A philosopher by training, an expert on the societies of Oceania, and director of research at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Maurice Godelier is a man of many talents. In particular, he is passionately interested in all questions of scientific policy, both national and European.
You have to put things in their historical context. The Humanities – philosophy, law and even history – appeared in the West during the Greco-Roman era. The social sciences – economics, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, demography, etc. – originated from the late 18th Century onwards. Then, in the 20th Century, other disciplines found favour, such as political science or management science. Many universities continue to keep these two fields apart. But in terms of methods and ideas, each influenced the other from the very beginning. Alongside traditional political history – the history of dynasties and empires – we saw the development of economic history, the history of mentalities, and so on. The point of departure of the analyses is not the isolated individual in his specificity, but individuals and groups defined by their social relationships. The humanities try to define the nature of these relationships which make up what is particular about a given society and a given period in all their complexity. In the 20th Century, the idea took hold that the specificity of social relationships are determined by their structure. Research moved towards the discovery of these structures and attempts to reconstitute their inherent logic to understand their appearance, evolution or disappearance.
This complex approach also takes into account what people think of their relationships and the place they occupy within their society. It also includes the representations people make of their own body, as well as the shared or rejected values and symbols within their community. One of the difficulties of the social sciences is the need to also take into account the imaginary realities or symbolic practices associated with the exercise of power and the reproduction of societies.
Is it possible to dispense with a multidisciplinary approach when dealing with such complex questions?
No, social reality is, in fact, accessible through a single approach. An anthropologist who knows nothing about the history of civilisations will see just a part of the reality. It is becoming increasingly necessary for research to adopt a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach. In short, to my mind the former separation, even opposition, between the human and social sciences must disappear and be replaced by the field of the sciences of man and society. The global clashes we are seeing at present show the ever-greater need to look to the social sciences to understand their origin and their nature. It is impossible, for example, to analyse what is happening in Iraq without approaching it from various angles. There is history and philosophy, which tell us about the sources of Islamic fundamentalism, including Wahhabism. Anthropology and sociology tell us about what is happening in the lives of these people, while economics gives us the context of globalisation and shows the strategic importance of certain resources and certain regions of the world. Finally, there are the political sciences which analyse the regimes in the West and the East which co-exist in mutual opposition.
The entry of new countries into the EU, with their cultural diversity, their unequal development, and their religious differences, is going to pose problems which are more than mathematical equations or ideological formulae. Their history and their identity oblige us to invent specific routes for their integration into the Union – an integration at two levels: the development of a market economy which could be tempted by unbridled economic liberalism, and the development of plural and democratic political regimes. The response to these changes will be social, cultural and political, and not just technological or economic.
Enlargement also means enlargement of European co-operation.
Of course, and in future this is going to be a genuine 'plus' for the Europeans. As you know, in nearly all disciplines the main partners of European researchers are increasingly the Americans. Bilateral and sometimes multilateral partnerships between European research centres exist of course, but they rank second in importance. Through their commitment to promoting the creation of European networks, the Union programmes represent major progress. They are permitting the pooling of intellectual and other resources of which each of the partners was often unaware.
The stress placed on the quest for excellence will also enable Europe to give new impetus to research in the individual Member States. The constantly repeated message is that we must attain the 'critical masses' of human and material resources required for ambitious research programmes which would place us on an equal footing with the Americans. These two points will now constantly weigh upon the way research is organised within the various Member States. In many of these countries, the essential national evaluation to judge the scientific quality of researchers, teams, programmes and institutions is still not rigorous enough and this is going to have to change under pressure from Europe.
Also, the development of the European Research Area implies research organised on a bigger scale, with stronger teams and international visibility. This will bring demands for the financing and management of research which are totally new and different to what is usually found at national level.
The Sixth Framework Programme strengthens considerably the opportunity for research into the human and social sciences, in particular through the seventh thematic priority, 'Citizens and governance in the knowledge-based society'. Presumably, you see this as a good initiative?
'Considerably' is perhaps going too far. It is true that, for the first time, European funds are earmarked exclusively for the social sciences. But the global amount is still very low and must be increased sharply to meet the knowledge needs linked to European integration – political integration but also scientific integration with the European Research Area. Beyond knowledge and governance, other areas of the Framework Programme also include research themes which could incorporate a social science dimension. But they must learn to identify them and to respond to them.
Take the example of the nanotechnologies. These are set to bring about a radical change in production systems and, thus, in the economic organisation of modern societies. We therefore need forward studies to prepare and support this change. The development of biosciences raises ethical and deontological issues to which lawyers and philosophers must provide a response. The social sciences can also shed essential light in fields such as the environment and sustainable development. For example, they can study the way in which European policy in this field will be perceived and possibly accepted or contested by the public. But for all these forms of co-operation between the human sciences and other sciences, we must also increase the means of communication between these disciplines – and these points of contact are much too rare.
There has been a lot of talk about the information society. Today there is a lot of talk about the knowledge society. What does this mean in concrete terms for an anthropologist?
It means building a Europe in which knowledge is disseminated more widely and influences the lives of individuals, as change in society is a fundamental objective. But a growing volume of information does not necessarily mean the development of knowledge.
I would cite the European ECHO (European Cultural Heritage On Line) programme as an example of the progress which the information and communication technologies can bring to many sections of society. This project aims to make available, for free, access on the Internet to whole areas of European heritage in fields such as the history of science, the history of art and the history of philosophy, while also presenting the heritage of other parts of the world. This is the patrimony of ethnographic museums and major collections of works from non-European societies in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. This heritage can be found in London, Berlin, Budapest, Paris and Rome, for example, and consists of masks, statues and objects from the ritual or everyday life of hundreds of non-European societies. Stimulating this systematic census of European collections and providing access to a part of these resources together with the necessary documentation is a major responsibility for researchers and museum curators. But also, what an opportunity for them for exchange and dialogue with all these non-European societies that have a part of their heritage in Europe. That is both a goal and a challenge.

Art Games
[via ISO50 blog]
The city of Toronto recently hosted the 2015 PanAm and ParaPanAm games. I admit that I reluctantly fell in love with the event (I'm not a fan of crowds or rampant bootserism) because of all of the arts and cultural events that took place across the city. Townies and tourists alike got to see some provocative theatre, eat Mexican street corn, attend free concerts and explore art from across the Americas.
In between the PanAm and ParaPan events, I found myself in Lausanne, Switzerland at the Olympic Museum. Our tour guide explained that arts and culture were part of the competition in the original Olympiad in ancient Greece as well as the Modern Olympics. In the 1950s the International Olympic Committee voted to stop awarding medals for painting, sculpture, architecture, literature and music.
The spirit of celebrating art and design now lives on in the pageantry of the opening and closing ceremonies and the overall graphic design of the games. I still have fond memories of the look of the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. The clean, graphic identity of those games was led by Montréalers Georges Huel and Pierre-Yves Pelletier. And Amik, the abstracted beaver mascot they created, has had an enduring legacy—I saw a guy wearing an Amik t-shirt at one of the PanAm concerts.
At the Olympic Museum I was also happy to discover the amazingly mod looks of the 1968 Mexico Games. Led by Lance Wyman, Beatrice Colle, Jose Luis Ortiz and Jan Stornfeld, the typography and imagery of the event was influenced by Op Art and Pre-Columbian traditions.

It's this linking to the past that makes all the difference in the look of Mexico 68. In fact, the event itself was historic in calling out colonialism (who can forget Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos giving the Black Power salute on the podium), but also making note to historical changes (Mexico's Norma Enriqueta Basilio de Sotelo became the first woman to light the Olympic cauldron). And the Tlatelolco Massacre ten days before the start of the games has been called Mexico's Tiananmen Square.
Much of the design is very much a snapshot of the times—although I would love to bring some of those Hostess dresses back. In fact, I now find myself searching for a few examples of souvenirs from Mexico—I think a pop pink wristwatch or a triangular melamine plate with the exploded Mexico 68 logo.
