On Tap Today: Bastille Days is back
Oui, it's true - Bastille Days is back - a free, four-day festival that will be anything but low-key. Starting at 11 a.m. today, the neighborhood in and around Cathedral Square Park will bustle with live music stages, an array of food options and Mardi Gras-style entertainment, including a parade. Look out for the float with Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI.
The fan-favorite Storm the Bastille 5k run/walk starts at 9 tonight, in honor of the mob rushing Paris' Bastille prison - the event that marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The festival ends at 9 p.m. Sunday. »Read Full Blog Post
'Revertigo' author Skloot appearing at Boswell
Floyd Skloot's new memoir, "Revertigo" (Terrace Books), covers many topics: a community theater production of "The King and I," New York accents, his mother's remarriage, books he tries but just can't read.
But its big subject is the unexpected, devastating attack of vertigo that struck him on March 27, 2009, and lasted 138 days. In putting together this book, Skloot writes, he realized "my work was exploring balance and its loss, how the forces of uncertainty and sudden change and displacement had shaped me since childhood, as it shapes many of us..." »Read Full Article
Jazz keyboardist Moran throws 'Fats Waller Dance Party'
As the swing era peaked around 1940, pianist-composer Fats Waller was as hot as it got. "Ain't Misbehavin'," currently lighting up the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Stackner Caberet, demonstrates how Waller's catchy melodies enlivened dancers nationwide.
Then cool and contemporary jazz got more intellectual, as the dancers sat down or moved elsewhere and jazz began its long, continuing decline. »Read Full Article

Correlation with uterine, colon and breast cancers
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there any correlation with uterine, colon and breast cancers? My mother-in-law has had all three. She is currently anemic.
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
While there can be clustering of common cancers in a single person, the more they are, the more one thinks of possible genetic syndromes that can cause these multiple cancers. In this situation, one has to think about a couple of possibilities. Hereditary breast/ovarian cancer can cause all three cancers. Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome can cause colon and uterine cancers but breast cancer is usually not related. Both syndromes have multiple other cancers that are associated with them, but are fairly infrequent. There may be other syndromes causing this as well.
As to the current situation with the anemia, there can be many causes and you should discuss this with her physician directly. However, I might suggest that if no source for the anemia is found, and these studies haven't been performed, she might benefit from an investigation of the rest of the GI tract with an upper endoscopy and a small bowel series.

Your guide to queer life in Sydney, from friendly places to the best parties in town
A gay guide to Sydney
Queer eye on Sydney
Meet the crew: Heaps Gay
Whether you're gay, straight or somewhere in between, you'll have a heaps good time at one of Sydney's favourite queer and inclusive parties.
The Bearded Tit
If you want to see Sydney at her absolute best, go for a drink at Redfern's neighbourhood art bar, the Bearded Tit.
Come here for regular queer nights, fresh band gigs, and the legends from Bad Deep doing a bi-monthly party.
Sydney's nightlife, now
Sydney's nightlife scene has shifted dramatically since the controversial lockout laws were first imposed in March of 2014. The changes have been felt in a myriad of ways for punters, promoters, partygoers, DJs and musicians and, most visibly, the venues. Since Time Out initially reported on reforms, the Flinders, Soho, Trademark, Q Bar, Hugos Lounge and the Backroom have all closed. The lockout laws were introduced in March 2014 by the state government in an attempt to curb alcohol-fuelled violence, following a number of fatalities. The suite of reforms mainly have affected the 'entertainment precinct', which stretches across the CBD, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, the Rocks, Kings Cross and Cockle Bay, and include 1.30am venue lockouts, the 3am cessation of alcohol service at bars, pubs and clubs and the state-wide take-away alcohol must not be sold after 10pm. As a result the laws have affected the way Sydneysiders go out… What were once bustling nightspots are now much quieter, there's been as dispersing of revellers to the fringes of the city, and generally there is a lot less positivity towards late night culture in what could and should be a vibrant and functional, 24 hour city. Tyson Koh is someone who's entrenched in music and nightlife in Sydney. The producer and programmer of the ABC's long-running Rage, Koh also DJs and has thrown a few parties in his time. He heads up the alliance Keep Sydney Open, which is fast gaining momentum. "We're aiming to get publ

Winter at North Bondi Fish
Things are changing at North Bondi Fish, Matt Moran's sprawling seafood restaurant with its famous ocean views. The venue has had a spruce up and new head chef Zac Sykes (Coogee Pavilion, the Fish Shop) has revamped the menu with fresh, seasonal and sustainable produce. "My favourite dish at the moment is butter poached cuttlefish, fennel and lemon balm risotto with nori powder," says Sykes. "I love using cuttlefish as it has great flavour and just like Aussie calamari, it's sustainable, so you know it's not overfished in any part of Australia." Head into North Bondi Fish on a Thursday or Friday night and you can try one of Sykes' #notjustfish creations, where he favours the likes of pork belly with braised cabbage and polenta or slow-cooked beef shin over seafood. Enjoy the special with a carafe of wine for two people at $30 per head. Winter warmer cocktails are also available throughout the cooler months and include tasty adult treats such as an Irish Coffee or a Kentucky Toddy served in a teacup. Or pop on down for Aperitivo hours, Wednesday to Friday from 4-6pm. NBF are also hosting an after party for City2Surf. Tickets include a three-hour beverage package, food by Sykes and DJ Alice Q playing on the balcony from 9am. Now that's what we'd call a fun run. Winter trading hours are Wednesday to Sunday, noon till late.
Rock Lily Trivia Tuesdays
Rock Lily, the music-comedy-entertainment venue on Level 1 at The Star, Pyrmont, has a trivia night every Tuesday, from 7.30pm. There's no cover charge, pizzas are just $10, there are $15 beer jugs and parking is free if you spend $15 in one go. Now here's the kicker. Many pub trivias will give you $100 in bar credit as first prize. Hell, some will give you less. But at Rock Lily the prize is a cool $500 cash – every single Tuesday. Plus, there are prizes worth $100 and $50 for second and third place respectively, and spot prizes throughout the night. That's right. Win the comp and half a K is yours for the taking, no strings attached. Mind you, with such a generous jackpot at stake, The Star are serious about the cardinal rule of trivia: namely, no phones, tablets, notes, newspapers or other forms of external assistance – on pain of disqualification. They monitor this closely, so hands off the phones, people. Teams can be as small as two and as large as ten. The smaller the team that triumphs the bigger the individual cut, but then the bigger the team the wider your knowledge base. There are two rounds of 20 questions. Good luck.
Heineken City Shapers Festival Sydney
We all dream of a whirlwind holiday, but the realities of jetlag and airport lounges are not always as romantic as you imagine them to be, which is why on Wednesday night Heineken treated special guests to a round-the-world experience that didn't require passports. Hosted by Freda's, Chippendale's beloved party bar, guests were greeted by samba dancers and live percussionists before heading inside to experience a little taste of the world's greatest cities, from Amsterdam (home of Heineken) to New York, Singapore, Rio De Janeiro and Berlin. First stop was Singapore where guests were treated to a cold, crisp Heineken and a box of freshly cooked Singapore noodles packed with juicy prawns and chicken. The next station was channeling Amsterdam with local Draught Ambassador Callum teaching guests about the art of a perfectly poured Heineken. Over at the New York corner, guests got to sample beef sliders and hot dogs, treat their ears to the soulful sounds of some live trumpet while enjoying a Manhattan made by the Freda's crew. Adding some tropical vibes into a wintry evening in Sydney, the Rio stand's samba dancers helped amp up the party vibes for a visit to Berlin, where a DJ was pumping the party tracks. Because you always come home from a holiday with presents there was also a competition on the night to win two Heineken gift packs. All guests needed to do was answer the five questions displayed on the walls and hand their form to our friendly Time Out crew. Sure, we'd

Very possible. You can be sure if zero is writing the entire trip off for taxpayers to pay the bill he will be sucking up all the available dough he can. That's what he does. Its his yob.
Perhaps Dr. Carson could be Surgeon General or Secretary of Health under the 2016 Pubbie Admin. He might also make a good VP candidate, he's so articulate and I think could reach a lot of people.
Speaking of Surgeon General - did you see this thread about Obummer's nominee?

March 07, 2014, 02:16 pm WH defends Obama's Key Largo vacation
By Justin Sink
White House spokesman Josh Earnest defended President Obama's weekend vacation in Key Largo, despite the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, arguing Obama would be able to monitor events from Florida.
What the president will be doing this weekend in Florida is essentially what the president would be doing back at the White House. It's just that the weather will be a little warmer, Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The president is looking forward to spending some time with his wife and daughters, who are traveling down to Florida as well, he continued. There are some recreational amenities on the property, including workout facilities, tennis courts, a couple of golf courses.
If there is an opportunity for the president to enjoy some of those amenities, then he'll do that. What he will do, and what he is looking forward to doing, is getting a little downtime in the warm weather with his wife and daughters.
Earlier this week, there was speculation the president could scrap the trip his third vacation of the year because of the crisis. But Earnest downplayed the suggestion, saying deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken is traveling to Florida with Obama, along with the regular assortment of communication tools allowing the president to attend secure briefings.
We have complete confidence the president can handle all the responsibilities he has," Earnest said.
The White House spokesman also said it was not unusual for the president, vice president, secretary of State and national security adviser to all be out of the nation's capital. John Kerry and Susan Rice are traveling on business, while Vice President Biden is visiting the Virgin Islands for his second vacation there in three months.
Most of the people you described have as their job description traveling overseas to represent the interests of the United States. I wouldnt be surprised if this is a fairly regular occurrence," Earnest said.
Oh, thank you so much, (again)... Greg Jarrett! What a creep! I didn't watch Fox News last night. I watched a netflix movie right after Sarah Palin's fabulous address to CPAC.
They sure do. So do those of us that believe in the 2nd Amendment rights and keep pressuring our congresscritters.
Was THAT assortment of clips the advertised interview with Senator Cruz on the ABC program?
EPIC Fail!
False advertisement!
I'm not locked into thinking we need a Surgeon General (in fact that's probably an office we could get rid of). As of now, I'm thinking we need the CDC (but my mind could be changed on that).
I definitely think we could get rid of Dept of Ed - - education should be a state and local matter IMHO. (Just an FYI, I said Sect'y of Health - - not sure we need that agency either).
For those who haven't yet quite figured out that val/jar and others are running things maybe the light is peeking in just a little bit more. Zero was never more than a fund raising Manchurian at best.That's still his role.
After Palin's speech I wish I had watched a movie as well. You sure had the best idea!
We repeal laws--every word of them--all of the time. We no longer have Prohibition (we had to repeal a Constitutional amendment.) We no longer have segregation laws. There is nothing sacrosanct about a law. Only when the Dems have power and pass laws do they become immutable and carved into stone.
Unfortunately, too many Reps are talking about fixing Obamacare. There have already been a number of changes to the law passed by Congress to lessen the pain of Obamacare and Obama is changing the law all of the time by Executive fiat. So much for the sanctity of the law.
Hi bray,
Wow! You've had many blessings this past month - so happy for you and your son! I know you've been working very hard on your book and the light rail issue. Obviously, your son has worked very hard to get that scholarship! I'm sure you're very proud of him and have every right to be!
Congratulations to both of you!

Ann was brilliant along with Mickey Kaus. CPAC is headed by Al Cardenas, an amnesty and Jeb Bush supporter. They thought they could mute Coulter on the immigration issue by putting her in that inane format along with a moderator who could control her thru the questions. It didn't work.
Ann and Kaus must have gotten together before the panel and conspired to link everything back to immigration. Essentially, they gave the middle finger to the CPAC organizers. The only panel CPAC had on immigration was stacked with amnesty supporters.
Kaus has been very good on the immigration issue. I met him at an event sponsored by the Center for Immigration Reform. He gets it re immigration and its impact on this country.
Bravo Ann and Mickey. FU CPAC.

Old andreeeuuuhhh now touting chris christie as head of pubbie governors,she want Jeb.He's "more humble more inclusive" more liberal--she's an old putz with four inches thick of makeup holding her face together.
He played golfed with VJ's BF Ahmad Rashad and her cousin, Cyrus Walker. Telling, IMHO.
Pat Caddell addressed that in probably the best speech at CPAC this year
Speaking of Perry, a friend of mine in Texas is a friend of his and going to give him a copy to read. Do you think a Texas secession book is timed perfectly. It gives people a chance to see what a non-Marxist government would look like and a mental vacation from this one.
Everything Beck talks about is in this book as well as a fun love story and a star wars theme. It should become a best seller since it is a great read.
There's bound to be a few libs out there,misguided souls. Truth is however lots of these guys play both sides and its jut a matter of how much they give to whom.Especially when they are that big.
Thanks SC, as a matter of fact it is one of the things we talked about, how I taught him to work really hard. We talked about how lazy his generation is and he stands out as just outworking them and how having to work his way through college was a blessing.
He is a bit liberal, but really likes what I am doing and wants to read the book. We are going to have a Christian in the halls of academia.
"Truth is however lots of these guys play both sides and its jut a matter of how much they give to whom.Especially when they are that big."
I agree.
In case you missed it, here is a list of big donors to the Ocean Reef Medical Center Foundation:
Excellent analysis.
Ann was great.
One of the few rock stars I got to see. She ate up her meek opposition.He was truly pathetic.
One question they both were asked was "what would be the strategy of their respective parties to win later this year? Kaus came out and said "we are not going to win" it was Bevis an Butthead moment! Truly funny.
I totally agree. I've always felt that Soros was pulling val/jar's strings; however, someone made a comment on a thread the other day that the Chicago Communists were running the WH, which I don't recall hearing before. That said, we know that val/jar's father-in-law (in Chicago) was a communist and there were lots of ties with him and others and Obama (one of Beck's better TV shows was one when he was using his board and linking them all together). Perhaps its Soros and the Chicago commies.
BTW - did you know that val/jar is supposedly dating Ahmad Rashad? He was with her at Moochelle's 50th Bash at the WH and was also at the "My Brother's Keeper" event in the WH. Rashad was/is a sportscaster, had been married to Phylicia Rashad (a.k.a. Mrs. Huxtable), and before converting to Islam was Bobby Moore - wide receiver for the ST Louis Cardinals & MN Vikings. Prehaps val/jar has more time for dating, etc. now that Podesta is in the WH.

GAINESVILLE -- Florida tailback Ciatrick Fason spent much of last year moping on the bench, upset over his third-string status. Now that Fason is enjoying a breakout season, the irony is he's costing someone else playing time.
DeShawn Wynn, the Gators' 2003 leader in touchdowns as a freshman, was expected to share the rushing load with Fason. But through three games, Wynn isn't pleased to have just 24 carries for 89 yards to Fason's 62 and 396.
Wynn twice met with coach Ron Zook after No. 16 Florida's 20-3 win over Kentucky on Saturday, in which he didn't touch the ball. Wynn has declined to publicly discuss his situation.
"He's a very, very talented young man," Zook said of Wynn. "He's had a few nicks and it's held him back a little bit. But on the same token, DeShawn knows what he can do and we all know what he can do. Also, DeShawn knows we need him and he knows he needs us."
Fason understands the frustration, having nearly quit the team before Zook talked him out of it.
"DeShawn knows what he's got to do to get out there, and I don't think it's too much," said Fason, the Southeastern Conference's rushing leader with 132 yards per game. "He's got to get back on the right track, and I think this will be the week that he does it."
Opportunities for Wynn could be scarce, however, because Fason's success has earned him more carries.
"Whoever is producing is going to be on the football field, and (Fason) is producing and so he's out there," offensive coordinator Larry Fedora said. "That may happen again this Saturday (against Arkansas) or it may not."

Whether due to natural phenomenon or human interference, Diniwid Beach is in a sorry state at the moment. Almost a third of the beach has been washed away, and sandbags are banked up to protect the coconut trees and the small restaurants along the shoreline. Let's hope the sand will eventually be brought back in by the tides.

|By Jake Adams, The Sentinel, Carlisle, Pa.
|McClatchy-Tribune Information Services
On the 15th pitch of the season, and the first one
"I was just looking for a pitch to drive," Wickenheiser said. "Got a first pitch, obviously, put it over."
A waist-high heater by
"A lot," Wickenheiser said of his three-run bomb relaxing the team. "You're kind of tense a little bit 'til you get the first hit and then first runs, too."
With the nerves settled in the Colts' dugout, and squarely on the side of the Panthers (0-1), the pitching staff got down to business. The offense spotted
The duo combined to allow just six hits and four earned over the seven innings. Malone struck out four in four innings of work while Smith fanned two. But Smith struggled with command late and surrendered four walks as well, three of which contributed to runs in the third and fourth inning.
"As soon as we get out of that rhythm of throwing strikes then they put runs on the board," Phillips said. "So as long as we throw strikes I like our pitching."
Offensively, the Colts got a near flawless performance from the top of their lineup. Wickenheiser was the only one to go yard, but the top four in the lineup --
"If we do that every game, hey, we're going to win a lot of games," Phillips said of the unexpected power surge. "We should have the pitching, we should have the defense, that we don't need to score 14 runs."
The Panthers regrouped a bit in the middle innings, threatening the Colts with a four-run fourth inning and two in the third, but it wasn't meant to be.
"I think there was a little jitters in the first inning," Panthers coach
But it wasn't enough. With an 11-6 lead, Malone settled in for the Colts. The middle of the lineup gave him some added insurance in the final frame, as two doubles by the bottom of the lineup knocked in the final two runs.

Ram on, give your heart to somebody
Soon, right away…
The ironic thing is that there will never truly be such a thing as homosexual marriage. The institution was established by God with the creation of man and woman, and therefore only God can change it. Since he has made his stance on homosexuality abundantly clear, this will never happen. No matter what human call it, no matter what laws are passed, no matter what the courts state, there can never be such a thing as true homosexual marriage, it is impossible. It all comes back to the question of how you decide right from wrong. What is the source for objective morality? There is only one, much to the dismay of the atheists who wish otherwise.
Will the churches be "forced" to perform the weddings against their core beliefs?
Separation works both ways or at least it's supposed to? Keep the government out of religion and keep religion out of government.
No need to worry about men and women getting together, "gods plan" has already overpopulated the planet.
"Marriage" is only both a religious sacrament and a civil contract because the church was once the source of literate record-keeping, but there have been civil governments for about the last 500 years, and the United States was specifically set up such that religious leaders were not civil authorities.
Thus you can obtain a legal marriage at the town hall without ever having to go into a church, much less get the permission of a religious leader.
Anything else you missed in history class, Chip?
I hear that Adam and Eve weren't married — they were living in sin.
Anyone care to guess how syphilis was introduced to the human population? Ah, yes, when men were men, and the sheep were nervous.
I'm a liberal who believes in God, but I think anyone who pretends to be a christian and brings it to regulate people's private lives or promote a political agenda is breaking the fourth commandment.
Shhhh….check it on wikipedia, I want to know if the holy rollers know which one it is!
The idea it is "overpopulated is false. It is mismanaged and that is all our fault. The fact of the bad situation we are in in the first place is also our fault, much as there are those loathe to admit it.
You've tried this failure of an approach before. How do you decide whose "reason" we use? In the end it still comes down to mere human opinion. And logic and reason fall short when it comes to dealing with "oughts." They can tell you whether you CAN do something, but are impotent to explain the oughts associated with morality. Also, since in your own atheistic worldview any "choices" we make are simply the result of chemical reactions in the brain, there is no free will, we are all simply slaves to the laws of chemistry. No free will, no morality, for you cannot hold someone responsible for a supposed wrong if they had no choice in the matter. And since this same brain chemistry that makes you adhere to atheism would also make a Christian adhere to his worldview, what makes your random brain chemistry more valid than anyone else's? I think it likely you will live out your life clinging to this silly idea that you have somehow come up with a valid basis for atheistic morality, something no other atheist in history has ever successfully done, which makes it all the sadder. Finally, the Christian approach to morality is not based on "fear," which is a common atheistic caricature. It is based on the recognition of the fact that to have true morality one must have a source outside of and above humans, and that God, as Creator of reality, is the only one that fits the bill. As a just and holy God, of course there must be consequences to sin, yet God in his grace and mercy has offered us a way out. Whether to accept it or continue to live their own selfish lives apart from him is up to the individual.
The very point is that God established marriage from the beginning. It was he who married Adam and Eve, made them bonded pair one man to one women. Jesus reiterated this in the New Testament.
And once more you fail to address the main point. What makes that person's, the parent of the 2-year-old, idea of moral behavior more valid than the next random collection of atom's opinion? Hitler thought it was reasonable to slaughter all the Jews as they were less evolved than his master race, which is perfectly consistent with evolutionary/atheistic thinking. So once again you have failed to produce a way to distinguish between one person's opinion and another's. And God tells us how we should live because he knows what will bring the greatest good, whereas we do not. But there are consequences to doing what is wrong and we must pay the price for the sins we commit as God is a just and holy God. Do good because it is good, not simply out of fear of consequences as you paint your caricature. But you still dodge the main question. What DETERMINES what is good? You still offer nothing but opinion with no way to decide one random collection of atom's from another's.
Not sure what you mean by the commandment comment since it makes no sense. But which god do you believe in? Certainly not the God of the Bible since he made himself very clear on the matter of homosexuality. Believing in some god of your own creation in meaningless.
And once again you miss the whole point. WHOSE reason determines what is good? WHAT is it that sets one person's reason above another's when they disagree, as often they do? Both of our brains are, within atheism, slaves to the laws of chemistry. 1) this means no free will which is a prerequisite for morality, and 2) since my brain, which concludes Christianity is the truth, and yours, which concludes atheism is, are merely obeying the same laws of chemistry, HOW can one be determined to be superior to the other within the atheistic worldview? WHY was Hitler's reasoning incorrect, reasoning that was fully consistent with the evolutionary/atheistic worldview, while one who takes the opposite view is correct? You STILL come down to human opinion as to whose reasoning is best. This is what you persist in ignoring. YOU HAVE NEVER GIVEN A SOLID REPLY TO ANY OF THIS. No free will, no morality, no way of distinguishing one opinion or way of reasoning and setting it above another's, no morality. It is inescapable. You are floundering in denial.

Good readers turn their sights on top lights
Del Sur Five fifth-grade students named as top readers at Del Sur Elementary School earned the opportunity to judge the Del Sur community's first holiday lights contest earlier this month.
Noah Sullivan, Blair Federhart, Peyton Bischof, Ethan Perez and Owen Seidenwurm participated in the Principal's Reading Challenge, exceeding their reading goals by 300 percent or more. As a reward, Del Sur, a master-planned community west of 4S Ranch, invited the students to judge the Del Sur Community Services Council's holiday lights contest Dec. 7.
"These kids work extraordinarily hard to not only achieve, but to exceed their personal reading goals year after year," said Shelley Federhart, president of the Del Sur Educational Foundation, which helped organize the event. "The community of Del Sur also works hard to support the students at Del Sur Elementary School. Including students in communitywide events is fun for all of us, especially when the kids feel like they are part of something big, something important in their community."

Love Is All You Need
- Studio: Sony Pictures Classics
- Release Date: May 3, 2013
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The cliché-averse will doubtless resist, but the laughter and tears here are never less than fully earned. A lovely film.
Love is All You Need has been made for an audience rarely catered for by the film industry: intelligent adults who enjoy perceptive and good-hearted drama.
As romantic comedies go, Danish helmer Susanne Bier's follow-up to her Oscar-winning "In a Better World," percolates more than it froths – but that's a good thing.
Irresistibly entertaining and beautiful to look at it, the film is pleasant at worst, and – at best – wisely defies its slapped-on American title, a warm reminder that love isn't a solution so much as it's a brilliant way of embracing life's problems.
Brosnan is good, and he and Dyrholm erase any and all signs of contrivance in the plot, the script.
As the title more than hints, Love Is All You Need is no stranger to formulaic clichés, but it's still a Bier film. There's a sprinkling of vinegar in the treacle, a bit of ballast in fancy's lightweight flight, and, of course, the triumph of optimism that can seem unearned in her dramas is made to measure in a comedy.
Love Is All You Need is entirely predictable, and that's OK in a film as lovingly made, well acted and enjoyable as this.
Brosnan and Dyrholm are irresistible, communicating volumes with mere glances as well as sharp dialogue.
As Love Is All You Need goes through the motions of drawing its central couple together, Bier delivers nothing more than a well-made, strictly middlebrow entertainment with a bittersweet polish that's easy to enjoy and forget in equal measures.
Though Bier isn't as comfortable with the lighter side of life, the film is a lovely little lark with a good head on its shoulders.
What's remarkable, though, is how Ms. Bier's film, in Danish and English, finds beauty in its quiet moments, which are many and close between.
It's an enormous relief to have a lightweight but non-insulting date movie to recommend in this arid season. This isn't a movie that requires your full attention at every second – although when Dyrholm and Brosnan are on-screen, you won't be able to look away – but it's a nifty entertainment that's always easy on the eyes and gains just a bit of dramatic weight as it moves forward.
While virtually everything that happens in this grown-up rom-com can be seen coming a mile off, Danish director Susanne Bier's assured touch and warm regard for her characters make the film both pleasurable and satisfying.
It works, after a fashion — a romance that isn't a romantic comedy. But Bier, a wonderful director, proves that "Love" isn't all you need to make us swoon. You need a lighter touch.
While the underrated Brosnan is effective as the cold-hearted produce mogul, the character starts as such a sourpuss that after he softens in the Sorrento lemon groves, it's still hard to root for his inevitable hookup with Ida.
This is a movie purely for grown-ups, with its enjoyment coming not from its explosions or attacking aliens but from spending time with these characters and savoring its optimistic, "never too late for happiness" message.
Formulaic despite its trespasses, Love Is All You Need leaves the lingering sensation that more fun could have been had if the film cut loose and lived a little.
As Love Is All You Need ties up its loose ends, it settles into a rom-com formula with a predictable, upbeat ending. It feels good, sort of.
At times it seems as if Susanne Bier set out to create some kind of absurdist comedy, but lost her nerve somewhere along the way.
Cast with winning actors (particularly Molly Blixt Egelind as Dyrholm's daughter) who seem determined not to distract viewers from the coastal backdrops, Love Is All You Need proceeds in all the expected directions short of actually including The Beatles.
Corny as a vat of polenta, but still rib-sticking enough to satisfy those who like lightly seasoned, easily digestible cinematic starch, Italy-set Love Is All You Need offers a romantic comedy for middle-aged palettes.
As every sub plot, reveal and character… err, caricature that is, gets stacked on top of each other, the more inevitable it is that the whole thing will come tumbling down. And while Love is All You Need is by no means a disaster, it simply can't support all that weight.
It's a mystery as to how so much talent combined to create such a cynically superficial product.
The sole saving grace of this treacly middlebrow dross is the naturally sweet chemistry between Brosnan and Dyrholm. In the few scenes in which they're alone together, wistfully recalling the past and discussing various misfortunes, you glimpse a much deeper movie.
It looks weirdly like a romcom pastiche, not cynical, but not properly inhabited; it doesn't taste of romance or comedy any more than Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup cans taste of soup.

He playsThis is actually a Danish film with a mostly Danish cast (and sporadic subtitles), but the one international name is Pierce Brosnan. He plays a closed-off widower who travels to Italy for his son's wedding, only to find himself falling for the mother of the bride (Tryne Dyrholm). While some of the plotting and characters seem a tad overdone, the basic story is a predictable, but appealing romance. The focal character is really Dyrholm's and she gives an engaging performance (as does the rest of the cast). The lovely seaside scenery adds to the charms of this sweet summer trifle.… Full Review »
Jun 4, 2013"Love Is All You Need" is a beautiful movie. Starting with the opening scene where you see beautiful Danish actress Trine Dyrholm, who is"Love Is All You Need" is a beautiful movie. Starting with the opening scene where you see beautiful Danish actress Trine Dyrholm, who is absolute perfection and an absolute joy to watch as, from head to toe, she gives meaning to each gesture and is mesmerizing on screen to her co-star Pierce Brosnan, who is not only aging handsomely but also delivers a strong performance allowing her to shine.
Ida (Dyrholm) has just finished her last chemo dose and, being a hairdresser, has fixed herself a great wig to wear to her daughter Astrid's (Molly Blixt Egelind) wedding in Italy and approaching the airport she meets the father of the groom Patrick, (Sebastian Jessen) Philip, (Brosnan) by backing her car into his. It isn't long before Ida and Philip realize they are becoming family. Philip had lost his wife years earlier in a senseless accident while Ida, coming home from the hospital that day, found her husband Leif (Kim Bodnia) having sex with his accountant Tilde (Christiane Schaumburg-Muller) who brings her to the wedding.
The wedding is going to be held in Philip's country home. Beautiful is the only word to use to describe the seaside town of Sorrento as the camera lingers over the water, coves, sunrises, sunsets, lemon tree groves, houses and Dyrholm's face and body. Philip's sister-in-law, Benedikte, (Paprika Steen) has been in love with him and provides humor no matter how much it humiliates her.
"Love Is All You Need" is a romantic comedy that is filled with lots of romance supplied by Dyrholm and Brosnan and the comedy by Schaumburg-Muller, Steen and Bodnia. Micky Skeel Hansen as the brother of the bride, along with the other young actor, provide the ups and downs needed in a film of this genre and it was surprising to me that the audience was so surprised, and expressed it, at one turn of events.
The film was directed by Susanne Bier who also wrote the screenplay with Anders Thomas Jensen and a deep bow to the director of photography Morten Soborg. The film will make you want to get on the next plane to Sorrento. Opening with Dean Martin singing "That's Amore" it is heard constantly through the film blending in with the scenery.
Bald, wearing a wig, having her own short hair, dressed in red or coming out of the water completely nude, Trine Dyrholm is a sight to behold. Hopefully this movie will get a much wider play to introduce her to a larger audience while they watch a touching romantic comedy. See it--see her!… Full Review »

Legislation to permanently bar states and cities from placing a tax on the Internet is moving forward in the House.
The Judiciary Committee will mark up the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act on Wednesday morning, the panel announced on Monday.
The Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act would extend that ban indefinitely.
It was introduced last year by Judiciary Chairman Bob GoodlatteBob GoodlatteCongress leaving for seven-week recess Bipartisan House group to work on police issues House conservatives 'committed' to impeaching IRS chief MORE (R-Va.) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the Technology subcommittee.
The bill currently has 214 cosponsors in the House, just four short of a majority. A companion bill in the Senate from Finance Chairman Ron WydenRon WydenDems push for US, EU cooperation on China's market status Senate Dems push Obama for more Iran transparency Watchdog faults Energy Department over whistleblower retaliation MORE (D-Ore.) and Sen. John ThuneJohn ThuneFCC chief pushes phone companies to offer free robocall blocking How the new aviation law will affect your travel GOP chairman seeks answers about Tesla's autopilot feature MORE (R-S.D.) has 50 cosponsors, spelling an easy path forward in both chambers.
Aside from its bipartisan support on Capitol Hill, anti-tax and Web freedom groups have also pushed for the bill.
In a letter expected on Monday, Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist and Katie McAuliffe, head the group's Digital Liberty project, told lawmakers that the bill was a way to protect constituents "from an unnecessary barrier to the most self-improving technology that has existed thus far."

French bathing suit for granddaughter
Before I retired one of my co workers handed me a sack of yarn that she said she had bought it to make a bathing suit. She decided and she would never use the yarn, so she gave it to me. As I am in the process of reorganizing my yarns I came across that bag. I knew I didn't want to make a suit for myself, and found this adorable pattern on ravelry. I have two of the bottom cuffs finished. I figure I have two good months to finish it, although it is already a..."I don't want to put this down project!"
I am not sure what my color combo's will be yet. I know the boy shorts section will be a solid blue all the way. I have pink, orchid, white, yellow and a blue. The yarn is called Gedifra top soft made in Italy.
Since my granddaughter lives in Florida on an air force base with its own beach, I am sure she will get a lot of use from this...or even as a sunsuit!

UVU wrestling: Wolverine junior Josh Wilson qualifies for NCAA Championships
Mike Smith/MatShots
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — Utah Valley University junior Josh Wilson punched his ticket to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships by placing second at the NCAA West Regional/Western Wrestling Conference Championships Sunday at the McLeod Center.
"Josh has had to battle through an injury and walking pneumonia the past month or two, and I'm really proud of the way that he come out and competed today," said UVU head coach Greg Williams. "He came here to win it and got pretty close. He's wrestling well and is feeling strong again right at the right time. He'll be ready to go back to Nationals and we feel like he has a chance to go there and do some good."
In all UVU had its most competitors place at the conference tournament in history as eight of the 10 Wolverine wrestlers placed in the top 4. Coming into the tournament Utah Valley had just three guys seeded in the top four.
"We wrestled very well. We way out-performed what was expected of us coming into the tournament," Williams said. "I feel like our guys grew up a little bit out there today and showed me that they are all close. We have a young team and I felt like our guys progressed well this season. I think they all have a lot to be proud of."
Behind Wilson, UVU's Avery Garner (141 pounds) and Ethan Smith (165) placed third while Colby Christensen (125), Blake Mangum (133), Monte Schmalhaus (174), Brian Chamberlain (197) and Dustin Dennison (285) all placed fourth.
Out of the seven WWC schools competing at the conference tournament hosted by the University of Northern Iowa, UVU came in fifth place with 43.5 points. Overall the No. 11 Wyoming Cowboys, who won the regular season title with a perfect 6-0 dual record, won their third straight regional title with 93 points. Northern Iowa finished second with 76 points, while North Dakota State placed third (51.5), Air Force fourth (50.5), Northern Colorado sixth (36.5) and South Dakota State seventh (5).
Four Wolverines reached the semis on the day as Garner, Wilson, Smith and Schmalhaus all advanced into their respective semifinals. Wilson, who entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed and was ranked 15th nationally, was the lone Wolverine to advance into the championship bout, however.
Wilson drew a first-round bye to advance into the semis. In the semifinal, Wilson took care of business as he dominated UNI's Ryan Jauch from start to finish in a 9-0 major decision. The win gave Wilson a spot in the finals against the No. 1 seed and third-ranked Cole VonOhlen from Air Force.
In the championship bout Wilson and VonOhlen entered the second period scoreless. Wilson then was the first to get on the board in the second by picking up an escape point midway through the frame. VonOhlen then tied the score at 1-1 with an escape of his own at the start of the third.
With VonOhlen having more than a minute of riding time in his favor Wilson looked for a late takedown. The UVU junior came very close to getting it but instead VonOhlen landed a late takedown and a riding time point to defeat Wilson 4-1. The loss entered Wilson into a true second-place match against NDSU's Mark Erickson to see who would get the second bid to the NCAA Championships.
In the true second-place bout, Wilson controlled the match and only gave up a late escape point to Erickson to win 6-1 and earn his first-ever trip to nationals.
Garner opened his outing with an 8-6 win over SDSU's Dustin Walraven to advance to the semis. In the semifinals Garner battled with the No. 2 seed from Northern Colorado, Casey Cruz, but Garner ended up dropping the contest 5-2 to fall to the wrestlebacks. The UVU sophomore bounced back in the consolation semis with a 9-4 win over NDSU's Tyler Diamond to advance to the third-place bout.

In order to develop a web application that can easily scale, provide production stability, is easily deploy-able, and allows for fast development cycles, what points would you recommend I look at before choosing one or the other framework - using Java and Tomcat, or Django and Apache/Mod_WSGI?
Some pros and cons I could see immediately,
- Tomcat apps are simple to deploy - drop a WAR file and you're done. Django apps seem to need more wrangling (Not sure if creating .egg files and dropping them in would work as well?)
- Django's ORM seems much nicer than Hibernate - generates models directly compared to Hibernate's manual configuration files
- Python as a language is faster to develop in, and much more concise than Java can be. (Of course, this is a relatively higher level discussion).
I've looked at Disqus's slides about scaling Django and am under no doubts it can be done. But would scaling a Django app be any harder than scaling a Java/Tomcat one?
I'm familiar with both Java and Python and the frameworks mentioned above, and it boils down to getting feedback those who've worked with either (or both) on scale.

Dracula's Ball is first and foremost a party. The common thread that runs through all of our guests is the desire to have a good time in an unusual and exciting atmosphere. Some have a passionate affinity for vampires that has been part of their lives forever. Some have occasionally tuned in to an episode of True Blood or scanned the racy parts of an Anne Rice book. Whether you feel deeply drawn to vampires on a personal level, or you just think they're sexy or cool, we welcome you.
While the Dracula's Ball Halloween event is definitely the most anticipated Ball of the year, Dracula's Ball takes place every three months. It is held exclusively in Philadelphia and is the largest event of its kind in the country. The Ball has been held at a variety of venues around the city for over a decade.
Obviously, our party has a strong vampiric theme. We do our best to create an atmosphere that suggests dark romance, a hint of danger, sensuality, and all things nocturnal. We do not promote nor do we allow the drinking of blood or any other unsafe practices at our events.
Our patrons come from all over the country and sometimes overseas. Typically, almost half of our patrons are from at least 100 miles away from Philadelphia. Our guests are a diverse group, representing a wide range of ethnicities, religions, orientations, ages, and lifestyles. Vampire legends are universal and cross all boundaries; so it is with the Ball as well. From Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi to Twilight and True Blood, whether your interest in vampires is casual or serious, newly-found or long-running, there's a place for you at Dracula's Ball
Photo taken at Dracula's Ball by Kyle Cassidy The Ball features two live bands who play short sets during the event. Our bands and DJs come from around the world; a number of European bands come to play their first-ever American concert at Dracula's Ball. A list of bands along with photos of some previous entertainers can be found in the photo gallery. Our guest DJs play music in a variety of genres to fit our general mood, including gothic, new wave, industrial, synthpop, metal, EBM, eighties, world music, and more. Fast, slow, sensual, hard, dark, mystical, heavy, loud, lush; the list of musical adjectives is long. The Ball also features the talents of other performers, artists, and craftsmen. Everything comes together to form an event that we feel is unique, entertaining, exotic, and exciting - and our regular guests would seem to agree.
Photo cameras are welcome at Dracula's Ball. Video cameras are not. The Ball is open to guests of all ages. In accordance with state law, alcohol is served in a physically separated portion of the venue. No one under 21 is admitted to the alcohol service area, and no alcohol is ever allowed out of the service area. Drugs of any kind are strictly prohibited at the Ball, as are weapons, no matter how cool they look. The safety of our guests, staff and entertainers is of paramount importance to us.
Photo taken at Dracula's Ball by Kyle Cassidy What do we suggest you wear to the Ball? Well, we do not have a dress code as such, because we understand that interesting and exciting people come in many configurations, and not all of them happen to blessed with expensive wardrobes. That having been said, we do try to present a certain theme and level of panache at the Ball, and accordingly, we encourage certain styles of dress. After all, if you want to see people in jeans and T-shirts, you can go to any old bar or club.
There are several local shops that can help outfit you. Want to raid your closet for something to wear? Read on! Our vampiric theme lends itself to a number of styles. The classic Victorian Dracula look is always appropriate. You can even stretch a bit and go with a Renaissance or medieval look if you like. Poet's shirts, bodices, top hats, and the like are quite acceptable. The modern vampire look (Blade, Lost Boys, Underworld) is also quite popular - slinky black dresses, leather pants, vinyl skirts, leather jackets, mesh shirts, and the like will fit in quite well. Formal wear is also suitable - elegant dresses and tuxedos are welcome, although you may find them a bit restrictive to dance in. Business attire will be noticeably out of place.
While you won't be turned away in a t-shirt and jeans, by dressing down you will be missing out on part of the fun at the Ball. It's a special occasion; make the most of it! It only takes a little effort to dress a bit differently. Of course, you can always put a lot of effort into it and make everyone else jealous!

Welcome To Our Website
A Message From SCSAFC President, Chief Alvin Payne
Welcome to our new and improved Website. Hopefully this site will be easier to maintain and allow us to provide current and relevant information to the Fire Chiefs of our State.
Over the last couple of years, your Executive Committee has worked hard to enhance your Association benefits. We have done this through additional disability benefits, Chief Officer training classes, and our Chief Peer counseling program. Though not everyone has taken advantage of these opportunities, they are available to you.
We have made it a priority to provide quality training opportunities for the Chief Officers in this state. We presented great Chief Officer classes in our November quarterly meeting, January's Fire Service Improvement Conference and the Southeastern Fire School. We also encourage you to take the time to complete the Fire Chief 101 course online through the SC Fire Academy.
This year we initiated a new twist to one of our Executive Committee meetings. All of the committee chairs were invited to attend and it was great having more of our members involved in the discussion as we talked about the future of our organization.
This year's conference will be held June 6-8 at Myrtle Beach with the banquet on Friday night. We have outstanding speakers, networking, and fellowship events and I encourage you to register today. As many of you have heard, the conference will move to Columbia in 2018 so enjoy the last 2 years at the beach.
Our Memorial Service will be on April 6th and this year we honor four of our fallen brothers. Our business meeting starts at 10 am with the Memorial service immediately after the meeting. Please attend to support the families of our fallen firefighters.
Yours in Service,
Chief Alvin Payne

A Spatial Filtering Approach for Directional Audio Coding
In hands-free telephony, spatial filtering techniques are employed to enhance intelligibility of speech. More precisely, these techniques aim at reducing the reverberation of the desired speech signal and attenuating interferences. Additionally, it is well-known that the spatially separate reproduction of desired and interfering sources enhance intelligibility of speech. For the latter task, Directional Audio Coding (DirAC) has proven to be an efficient method to capture and reproduce spatial sound. In this contribution, we propose a spatial filtering processing block, which works in the parameter domain of DirAC. Simulation results show that compared to a standard beamformer the novel technique offers significantly higher interference attenuation, while introducing comparably low distortion of the desired signal. Additional subjective tests of speech intelligibility confirm the instrumentally obtained results.

Alien Dice Halloween 2007 by shivaesykeWatch
©2007-2016 shivaesyke
Finished! The AD Halloween wallpaper which was voted on by the readers to have a Stargate theme. Characters are Chel as Sam, Lexx as Shepherd from Atlantis ... and Stealth as a black cat. (Kinda wraithlike.) The background was rendered in Bryce 5.5 using a free Stargate from DAZ3D and a lot of seasonal apple trees.
LOVE IT! I love stargate, watched all the sg1 episodes and movies, and workin on atlantis, totally awesome that you did a wallpaper based on it! sweetness!
Cool! I've never seen Stargate, but it looks neat. I like Stealth's alternate markings.
Sci-Fi FTW.
Oooo!!! Stealth looks awesome!!
(As do Chel and Lexx, of course )

DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban seemed skeptical of David Stern's recent statement that a woman could play in the NBA within the next decade.
Cuban would be even more skeptical when the NBA gender barrier is actually crossed.
"Whenever it happens, there will be a lot of DNA testing going on," Cuban said during his exercise routine before Tuesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns.
Gender testing became a controversial subject in the track world this year, when there were doubts whether South African world championship runner Caster Semenya was really a woman. It was reported that Semenya had male and female sexual organs, but the South African sports ministry kept the results of her gender tests confidential.
