Mark Kermode
Shia LaBeouf has been trying hard to shock us recently with his strange antics and odd outbursts. But in Lars Von Trier's new film Nymphomaniac has he finally succeeded?
Related content
Now his stint with Michael Bay is behind him, it's time to get quirky. I can not for the life of me see anything remotely interesting in Le...whatshisface. He just seems to be indulging in ridiculous shenanigans to garner attention of his new found "Indie" approach to work - "Lawless" and so on. It takes more than silly idiosyncrasies on Twitter to achieve that...Dude!
I want to see this film now, just to see how bad Shia The Beef's accent is. Unfortunately, if I tell my friends, they'll think I'm just going to perv at the sex scenes.
Despite turning in a terrific performance in Lawless, Shia LaBeouf is fast becoming a walking talking insult to people with learning difficulties, in that he continues to behave like he has some, when one can clearly assume he does not. Does this man not have 'people' who can advise him? An agent? A publicist? ….maybe some friends??
I suspect many people might just shrug their shoulders, meh. Others will no doubt go further, perhaps making the suggestion that next time he use a plastic bag, with the words, 'I AM NOT TALENTED ANYMORE'. Me? I'm on the fence.
ref Maclomhair - Hmm, not convinced on the external argument, i mean i'm English but can still hear that Mel Gibson is maybe not the most talented Scottish speaker in Braveheart, Gerard Butler is not very convincing as an Irishman in PS I love you, and that Ray Winstone (dear of him) is struggling with being American in The Departed
On the subject of dodgy English accents though, who can forget poor Don Cheadle in Oceans 11?
What's also shocking is that Mark's favourite cinema was just last week caught playing host to a real-life sex show....
when i saw the trailer Nymphomaniac and the part with him talking in the office i assumed he was an american boss taking the mick out of a english co workers accent.
surely this performance will enter such esteemed company as keane reeves in dracula and josh hartnett in blow dry.
As for the LaBeoufian accent, that didn't bother me at all because, contrary to that Mary Pippins picture, the film isn't meant to be set in England but in an imaginary place populated by linguistic cosmopolitans such as Udo Kier and Stellan Skarsgard, that, if anywhere, has a decidedly more continental than British flavour. If the film were set in England it couldn't possibly have been about sex addiction because everyone in the world knows the British are too repressed to have sex.
Unfamiliar with the Shia LaB'oeuvre, I didn't even recognise him in Nymphomaniac. I was more shocked by what that cute Billy Elliot kid has turned into. Must be the traumatic result of growing up in a mid-'80s miner's family.
And I thought he was unhappy because he wasn't considered for the Frank Sidebottom movie. Either that or he wasn't happy being beaten to the idea by River Phoenix!
Well he's just the male version of Miley C isn't he. Can't get attention via his talent (cos he ain't got none) so he has to engage in attention seeking nonsense.

text: Think your toddler is too young to help around the house? Think again. Toddlers are the perfect age for pitching in — given their budding sense of independence ("Me do it!") and their desire to mimic everything you do ("Can I sweep too, Mommy?"). Of course, your toddler's "help" may slow you down, but resist the urge to finish the job yourself. By giving your child small chores, you'll be boosting her confidence and making her feel like a valuable member of the family. And the look on her face as she accomplishes her tasks will be priceless ("Look what I did all by myself!").

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the movie features sexual references and situations and some very strong language for a PG-13. Characters drink and smoke, and there are scenes in a bar. Drinking is shown as a solace for pain. Boxes of condoms and a diaphragm that has not been used for a while are shown for comic effect.

What's the story?
Ashley Judd plays Jane Goodale, a booker for a television talk show hosted by Diane (Ellen Barkin). Ambitious Diane tells Jane that what she wants on her show is "the un-get-able get" -- the elusive guest that everyone wants but no one has. Meanwhile, Jane is looking for a "get" of her own, a man who will love her as much as she loves him. But that seems really un-get-able. If she isn't looking for love in all the wrong places, she is certainly looking in most of them. Through her experiences, Jane decides that men are genetically determined to act like bulls that refuse to service a cow a second time. Men are always looking for the "new cow." When Jane writes a magazine column about her theory, under a pseudonym, suddenly, everyone is talking about it and everyone, especially Diane, wants to interview the author.
Is it any good?
The big question here is how much fun the movie is on the way to its happy ending, and the answer is: mildly. Animal Husbandry, a wry and witty book about a single woman's efforts to understand men, has become SOMEONE LIKE YOU, a generic looking-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places romance with plot twists that were tired back in the days of Sandra Dee and Bobby Darrin. If you have ever seen or even heard about any movie ever made, you know where the story leads.
Judd, who once adds more heart and star power to a movie than it deserves, delivers everything she can, and she makes Jane's yearning to love as well as to be loved very poignant. Hugh Jackman, out of his Wolverine X-Men outfit, turns out to clean up very nicely indeed, and makes a likable leading man. The dialogue is above average, and director Tony Goldwyn has some good ideas, but the plot twists are below average. This is especially clear in the last 15 minutes, which seem like a desperate attempt to think of any way to end it, and just don't work at all.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the foolish choices made by Jane, Ray, and Eddie. Jane is so in love with the idea of love that she does not expect Ray to say that he loves her before they become intimate. She does not really know him when they have sex, and yet she expects him not just to know her but to love her. Jane and Liz think they have a problem figuring out men, but the problem is in understanding themselves. Eddie uses indiscriminate sex as a way of warding off intimacy. Ray is not able to be honest with himself or with the women in his life. None of them seem to have any sense of how enduring love grows, though the conclusion does suggest that it is more likely to grow between people who begin with emotional intimacy and get that on firm ground before moving on to other kinds.

The 14U Indy Diamond CHIX are looking to add 2-3 players to a very talented second year 14U team. We are looking for athletes with great bats, gloves and speed whose goal is to play at the college level. The team will play an ASA and PGF schedule, along with showcases and exposure/friendly round robin tourneys throughout the year to give these girls as much college coach exposure as possible. The team will play 4 to 5 PGF/ASA tourneys/showcases/roundrobins in the Midwest for the fall including a trip to Cullman, AL for the Southern Belle's Showcase. There will be 2 to 3 indoor tourneys during the winter including at least one trip to the Chicago Bandits facility in Chicago. The team will break for the high school season before resuming the summer season which will include showcases, ASA state and ASA/PGF tourneys including some 16U tourneys in addition to a trip to Colorado. The goal for the team is to qualify for 14U ASA Nationals that will be played at the end of summer in Salem, VA.
The team will have a tryout/open practice Saturday, Aug. 16th at 2 PM at the New Palestine High School field. Bring your daughters out for a workout with the team. It is a great way for her to see the team talent and get to know the girls. We look forward to seeing you there.

LONDON Nov 16 (Reuters Life!) - Take That's new album "Progress" released this week is the fastest-selling of the century in Britain, according to the Official Charts Company.
The record, which also features the voice of Robbie Williams who has rejoined the group he left in 1995, has sold more than 235,000 copies in its first day.
The opening figure accounts for sales up until the end of Monday, and is the highest first-day tally since "Be Here Now" by the British band Oasis scored just over 350,000 in 1997.
"This is a phenomenal achievement from an already phenomenally successful band," said OCC managing director Martin Talbot.
Take That and Robbie Williams, who forged a successful solo career before fading from the limelight in recent years, have sold more than 80 million albums between them.
The OCC said Progress could challenge the sales achieved by the last Take That album (without Williams), "The Circus", which sold one million copies in 18 days.
Take That are signed to Universal Music Group's Polydor label. (Reporting by Mike Collett-White, editing by Paul Casciato)

Again; Capitalism's exploitation in our films!! We must bring the Communist Revolution to America!! I mean it has been SO successful in Russia and China.. And I am sure Charles will happily take up the role of Chair of the Politburo....
Charles, you are lacking in proper expanded universe nerdology. Chewbacca has a speech imepediment compared to other Wookies, thus allowing him to speak basic, which is english is the Star Wars universe. Chewbacca and all the other Wookies got enslaved by Emperor Palpatine(alluded to in Revenge of the Sith)after the Jedi Purge, and participated in the rebellion with the smuggler named Han Solo.
Yes I used to be infatuated with Star Wars.
In sum, Chewbacca is the ideal slave.
Except for the fact that he can rip your fucking arms off.
Quoth wikipedia:
The novel Rebel Dawn explains that Chewie and Solo first meet when Solo, a lieutenant in the Imperial Navy, finds him unconscious aboard a slave ship. Solo's commanding officer orders him to skin Chewie, but Solo refuses and rescues the helpless prisoner. Upon regaining consciousness, Chewie swears a "life-debt" to Solo, and the two become business partners and best friends.
In short, he's no slave. Before you go off on your pretentious little nonsense rants, at least do some basic research.
Marxism is such a good idea.
I wonder if anyone has given it a try yet.
Hey Chuckers, since you want equal distribution of wealth, how about sending some of your cash my way? Do you scream at resteraunts that your food should be free?
In a workers paradise, you would be shoveling coal, or sweeping streets. Too bad this isn't a workers paradise.
Go fuck yourself and I wish Jon lovitz would kick your ass, you troll ass retard.
@3, there's some confusion about Chewbacca and Shyriiwook vs. Basic. From what I understand of the Star Wars canon, Wookiees are universally capable of understanding Basic, but because of their unique vocal apparatus, they are incapable of speaking it. However, Leia does encounter a Wookiee named Ralrracheen who has a speech impediment, thus making it easier for Leia (who is attempting to learn Shyriiwook) to discern and understand his Shyriiwook words.
Your excessive intellectual masturbation is getting my internet all sticky. Really, Charles - more than once a day is unhealthy.
Animals aren't dumb, Charles (unless by dumb you simply mean they can't speak English). For we all know - from that other film - wherefore the muskrat guards its musk. Courage, Charles, courage!
You are right Nick, it's been awhile, I guess we are taking the canon from the Thrawn trilogy.
Charles Mudede=worst Star Wars nerd ever
Shouldn't you be reading Lolita again?
Agree with @8.
Also, Han Solo doesn't understand Chewbacca as a person might understand a dog -- Han understands Shyriiwook just as well as Chewbacca understands Basic. He is incapable of speaking it, however, due to the structure of his vocal cords.
It would be a lot easier to understand Chuck if he spoke Shyriiwook.
or if he just stopped speaking all together...
I agree with 8 & 13. I used the analogy with a friend (yes, I've had this argument before, such a dork) that Solo could understand French, but only spoke English and Chewie could understand English but only spoke French.
As a dog and cat owner, I will say that Solo and Chewie have more complex conversations than I ever have with my pets.
Silly Charles. :P
Yeah! Star Wars content! With discussion! It is all good.
From your basic "research" it certainly sounds like Chewie had a variety of reasons to have uncle Tom tendencies, which subconsciously came out as loyalty to Han Solo, same as the slave-master relationship, and the weird dynamic of the master as the savior; thus, the rant might actually make sense. Maybe. I would argue that more research is necessary.
I'm still not sure if I am ready to accept this posts view that Chewie was a Wookie Tom. Maybe wookies had been oppressed so long (they certainly had suffered slavery as was pointed out by #3, though it is not clear how long this enslavement lasted) that they disguised their rebellion by Toming a la Louie Armstrong; while at the same time plotting to lead a rebellion. More research is required into wookie society and its different models and hierarchies.
Perhaps wookies were waiting for the right time to advance from being a rural- agricultural society to a trans-galactic industrial one. The chance presented itself and the wookie insurrection began, eventhough they were still a rural society. It is not fair to say that wookies were Maoists who believed in peasant rebellions, though in the last installment of Star Wars ( or first part) they did join the struggle as rural guerillas, not as leaders of the rebellion, but as grunts and footsoldiers.
Sounds like the perfect marxist tool
In the Star Wars Cannon Wookies were very technicologicallylly(sorry I'm drunk) advanced. More so than humans. Please remember we are talking about a galaxy far far away 10 thousand years ago. Which would mean it is older today.
Fiction, Science Fiction.
Where Animals are smarter than humans.
When and where did Capitalism come up in the original post? Colonialism is not by definition Capitalist. (Nor, for that matter, is Colonialism automatically slavery).
If we're going to talk about heady things, let's get the semantics straight.
Charles Mudede, I love you.
You should watch Star Wars again.
I think that you're forgetting that Han Solo could understand Chewbacca perfectly. They were completely equal, communication-wise. I'd view Chewbacca more as a sidekick than a subject.
Can wookies and ewoks produce offspring?
@23, But if Chewie is just a sidekick does that not imply a lower status?
@25, A sidekick is definitely a subordinate, but far from a slave.
Chewie and Han's interests were often parallel and complimentary, as compared to the opposing interests within the master/slave model.
@24: I have to believe so. The result would be akin to South Park's potbelly elephant or Andre The Giant and Mrs. The Giant's offspring.
It warms my heart to see such enthusiastic and insightful Star Wars commentary.
Charles, please go back to making horse-fucking porn and spare us your ill-informed Marxist rants about Star Wars.
I'm not enough of a geek to be familiar with the larger SW canon, but I have seen the original trilogy too many times to count. Demolator @23 is right. At many times in the original movies, Chewy is clearly delivering complex sentences to Han. Take an early scene from Empire Strikes Back for example. Chewbacca chews Han out for not helping him repair the Falcon.
You can see the same thing with R2D2. His beeps and whistles are apparently a type of language that C3PO, at least, can understand completely.
I'm also not buying the master/slave analogy. Chewy chooses to join Lando to rescue Han from Jabba the Hut. If Chewbacca were a slave, that seems like an excellent time to escape. In Return of the Jedi, Han leaves it up to Chewbacca to decide whether he wants to join the mission to Endor.
If there are any slave/master relationships in Star Wars, it's between the droids and humans.
Oy, OK, maybe I am that much of a geek.
@29: Droids have no free will. So although they can be slaves in the sense that they take orders from "organics" and often perform menial tasks, they are not oppressed -- they're simply doing what they were "born" to do.
You are so smart S-M-R-T, you are so smart S-M-R-T.
Dude, check yourself before you wreck yourself... Like most folks have pointed out, you need to check your facts. You write a pretty paragraph but you don't know shit from Shine'Ola when it comes to Star Wars facts and trivia.
Just because Chewy chooses to save Han or stay by his side on later missions does not necessarily preclude him from being and "Uncle Wookie." In fact, it only furthers the case that Chewy was a "House Wookie" as the "Field Wookies" would no-doubt refer to him.
However, I would have to agree with earlier posters who argue that Han and Chewy can converse just fine in their respective languages.
Shockingly, as someone so fond of bestiality, Charles failed to pick up that element which runs so rampant in the Han/Chewy relationship. I'd even hear arguments that Chewy is a furry.
While the holy trilogy is rampant with racist overtones (watch Chasing Amy sometime) this is clearly not one.
Chewie owes Han a "life-debt." Take from that what you will, but clearly the playing field's not entirely level.
Please. In light of the new trilogy, it's pretty clear here that Chewbacca is in control, not Han Solo. Chewbacca was involved in the original revolt against the Emperor, and assisted Yoda in his escape. This means that for all the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Chewbacca has been a spy for the Rebel Alliance, and has been manipulating Han Solo into joining the Rebel Alliance. Who is it that introduces Obi-Wan, one of the greatest and best known Jedis of the Old Republic to Han? Chewbacca.
shut the fuck up charles.
go watch star wars again and try a re-write.
@33: Yes, but the life debt was pledged by Chewie and the only one holding him to it is Chewie himself. It's self-imposed -- he's still in control.
Then what's the point of the slave bolt?
Ya ever notice how all the marxists, hippies, wookies, "near-do-wells" and black people who should be doing all the menial tasks of society are all into post-modernism, I mean whats up with that?
and what about how certain people are always saying bro and "holmes" to each other. I mean cracker please? am I right folks??
thank you, thank you and be sure to catch me Thursday night at the Sea-Tac Holiday Inn Express.

@37: Yeah, the bolt never made a ton of sense to me -- you never see it anywhere than R2 (in the movies, at least).
But consider this: the restraining bolt in A New Hope forces R2 to serve Luke in place of his prior master. R2 does not recognize Luke as his master and seeks to carry out his original mission instead of Luke's plans. He's not acting out of his own free will, but on his prior master's instructions. The restraining bolt does not force R2 to serve; it acts as a temporary bridge while ownership is transferred (i.e., the R2-D2 memory wipe that never happened).
Also, before someone mentions the spice mines of Kessel, I should point out that I'm not denying droids can be slaves, only that they are inherently slaves.

Yeah, good point. But then it raises the question why C-3PO was so eager to shift loyalties to Luke when Captain Antilles was supposedly his master at the time.
Although now it occurs to me that it's pointless to try to find consistency in the Star Wars universe, considering the glaring inconsistencies in the prequels vs. original trilogy.
This post is like seeing the worst of the left clash with the worst the right in an ideological no holds bar match of misguided politics and vague economics. It's kind of awesome.
That should be "no holds barred" btw.
I think in another five years Charles will be a good writer worth reading. I can see the glimmer in there. But right now he is just soooooooooooooo fucking boring due to his deeply academic and formalistic view of everything.
Charles- and you know I'm being serious here because I normally insult you by calling you Chuck- get a job in a service industry for a year or two. Retail, construction, sales, whatever. Mingle with average joes. Talk to them about the stuff that interests them. Go to happy hour with your coworkers. Go bowling with them. Keep a journal.
Then come back and do the literary and film criticism. I guarantee you that at that point what you write will be something people will be much more likely to want to read.
K X One:
You prove my point. I am amazed that someone of your stature can afford a computer and internet access. Then again, your probably at the library jerkin it to porn and just come over to SLOG to let us all know how important you are. Get a life, dirtbag.
Then again, threatening people with physical violence demonstrates just what a useless piece of monkey trash you are.
Obi Wan would not be proud of you.
Near-do-wells are attracted to post-modernity because post-modernity is the refuse of western philosophy.
It will go down as the biggest con in the legacy of western intellectual history. It has dragged down our socciety to an enormous extent.
Although, what this has to do with chewie is beyond me. I always thought Joseph Campbell was a tool despite his admirable Jungian background.
And using star wars to launch some sort of Marxist sermon, initially struck me as infantile, misleading and uncreative. The more I have thought about it, it definately is those things. I expect more from you Chuck. THis read like a Freshman "Intro. to Political Theory" paper subject.
Along the same lines as "The Gospel according to the Simpsons."
this is why chaz might be intelligent but is definitely not smart.
Minus twenty rhetorical points for anyone who tried to address Charles' assertions by pointing to ancillary material published years or decades after "Star Wars" the movie came out. "Canon" or not, they give no insight into what the character of Chewbacca meant when the film was written.
...and besides, it's really not necessary. Even staying strictly within the text of the screenplay for "A New Hope", Charles' argument is a really hard sell: Chewbacca's vocalizings are certainly played up for exoticism, but he and Solo are very clearly having discussions and even arguments about both technical and business issues. A blanket assertion that Solo understood Chewbacca "in the way the owner of a dog feels the meaning of his/her dogs bark" needs to be backed up with some reference to the text, and Charles hasn't even tried.
I'm not too savvy with all the Star War minutae but I do have to disagree with Mundede's assertion that it's a sublimated slave relationship Solo and Chewy always always reminded me of Ishmail and Queequeg.
I remember that bit from Achebe, reading it in lieu of the topic I could't help but picture dude on a Ton Ton. Made me giggle.

Threaten with violence? I just said that I'd be happy to pay to see someone hurt you, I didn't actually threaten you with it.
How is it that you take the high horse concerning violence considering that you advocate running over cyclists just because they annoy you?
Stature? How do you know how tall I am?
I take it it is you who is jerking off at the library and who is too poor to afford a computer, as just like your ranting about meth, you come across as a typical reichwing overcompensation hypocrite once again.
Classist much?
"your"? What you are reaching for is the contraction 'you're', it is short for 'you are'. If you really want to try and look down your nose at someone you're going about it the wrong way.
Thanks for showing us how reality based you are by attempting to scold me from the perspective of a fictional character.
"pay to see someone hurt you"= on pay per view TV, not something more sinister, see original post

Just taken out a hard disk with Windows Server 2008 on and plugged it into a different PC and tried to boot it - it is blue screening and I can't even tell what the message says as it reboots immediately. I take it I cannot trasfer one hard disk with operating system installed straight onto another PC with a diff motherboard. I know Windows 2000 didn't like it but I'm sure XP was fine with it. Although I have limited experience with Server products I just thought I would double check.
The most probable reason you are getting a blue screen is conflicting drivers. Your Windows install is set up to boot a certain set of drivers meant for your old system and now that you are plugging the drive into a new machine, the drivers are causing problems.
You can attempt to recover/repair the installation using your Windows Server DVD (boot to the DVD and select the Recovery Console).
With a repair install you shouldn't lose any data, but the drivers should get updated automatically for your new system.
Keep in mind that you should never try this, and that you risk losing your data. Server migrations are not as simple as just plugging in the drive into a new machine, you have to account for the hardware changes that will occur before hand.
This is not true. Unless you were extremely lucky or were transferring between two nearly identical machines, XP did not support transferring the system disk to another computer.
Starting with Windows Vista (and including the associated server operating sytems: Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2), Microsoft changed the installation process such that it copies a generic system image to the disk that can reconfigure itself for whatever hardware it finds. This makes the odds of success for an endeavor such as much higher. However, this operation is still highly suspect, as a lot of things still happen on first boot and once certain drivers are installed they can conflict with other hardware.
Go to your BIOS, and set the hard drive mode from AHCI to compatibility. It NEEDS to be the exact same setting as your old computer.. (so if your old one is AHCI, and this one is compatibility, change that).
With the wrong storage driver, it can't read the drive, and it will blue screen like that every time. We've been seeing this exact problem moving drives between identical laptops at work.
If you can boot it to compatiblity mode, you can then look for AHCI drivers for your storage hardware, and update.
There is an easy way to migrate a hard drive to a new machine without reinstalling Windows: use the
See this guide for details; it targets Windows 7, but
Note that this process does rebuild portions of your registry, so you may lose certain configuration settings. E.g., when I personally used this technique, I was prompted to reenter the license key for some purchased software.

WASHINGTON (February 24, 2014) As part of the proposed 2015 defense budget, Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel is recommending shrinking the Army to its smallest size in decades, a U.S. official says.
Hagel is expected to announce that and other recommendations Monday in a speech at the Pentagon outlining his priorities for next year's defense budget.
Army leaders have been saying for months that they expected to absorb additional troop reductions as the nation prepares to end its combat role in Afghanistan this year.
The Army is already scheduled to shrink to 490,000 active-duty members from a wartime peak of 570,000, and Hagel is expected to propose cutting it further to between 440,000 and 450,000, according to a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to be identified discussing the proposals before Hagel's speech.

Christmas and new year 2009/10 in Cape Coral...advice please!!
Hi all
We arrive in Cape Coral on the 23rd December 2009 and leave on the 6th January 2010. We are a party of 4 adults aged between 39 and 54 and a 16year old boy. We are staying in a villa in cape coral, we have a car for the duration and a boat for 5 days. Can anyone give us any tips/advice on things to do, places to visit that will be open and accesible over this period. Please could you include journey times, costings, complications such as parking, mooring etc.
Also the big question...Where can we eat, drink and/or party on Christmas Day and New Years eve? we like good food, good music and lively atmosphere.
Also do you have Christmas Crackers (the ones that you pull and have a gift inside, not the edible ones) and if so where will I get some on the 23rd/24th if you do. I was going to bring some over but have been told I cannot due to the bang element in the cracker.
and last of all are taxi cab's readily available in the evening including Christmas day and new years eve in case the unluckily designated driver decides to partake of the vino with their meal....
Many many thanks for any response's.
We can't wait to arrive!

.. can't see how else to read the chart... any alternative view?
what is your point?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
His point is it's not a strong buy. i covered my short today at $65.41. If it breaks through the mid $60's it looks like technically the stock could test mid $50's.
I was not ready to get greedy since earnings are soon. In the future I'll use puts instead of shorting stock since that's cheaper and less risky.

The Grays Harbor Republican Parth booth at this year's county fair was full of candy, balloons, flash and splash, but little substance. The "Target Practice" game was an example of precooked Central Party gear popping up at functions all across the country. What exactly was the message intended?
Making the excuse "No actual animals were injured" shows the group to be the Eddie Haskell of American politics. "Gosh, Mrs. Cleaver, we aren't suggesting little Theodore aim a gun at the President!" They attempt to minimize the activity as harmless because Nerf guns are used, but the symbolism is well understood.
The poster and shooting game are less offensive than sadly predictable. The Republican Party does not value individual thinking. They have become a tribe of parrots, all drinking from the same tea pot. What is truly offensive about today's Republican Party is the highjacking of the legislative process and the lack of action directed toward any of the real issues facing the nation.
There are good and decent people in the Grays Harbor Republican Party. They should start thinking for themselves.

'Morale is contagious - whether it's good or bad. High morale doesn't just make for a better work place; it can have a major impact on profits."
- Charles Hampden-Turner
from an article by Bill Catlette and Richard Hadden, authors of Contented Cows Give Better Milk.
Every time another company lures one of your employees away, you lose.
In a labor-tight market, a climbing attrition rate can spell disaster.
You cannot deliver to your customers if you do not have the talent in place to complete the work.
Most surveys show that morale is tied to employees feeling valued, developed and recognized for their true potentials and abilities.
One way for you to satisfy this desire is through workplace training and team development.
Professional growth is identified as one of the key motivators for people to stay with an organization.
As the authors of Contented Cows Give More Milk put it, "You create a situation in which the value that the employee gets from staying with the company outweighs the perceived value that the employee would get by leaving."
One approach to addressing morale and retention is to look at ways to improve how your work teams are operating.
Team-building techniques apply whether you are talking about a senior staff or a manufacturing production team - whenever two or more people need to work together to accomplish a common goal.
In addition to critical training in communications, problem solving and planning, teams need to understand personality differences and how they operate.
The diversity of values and personalities makes a team powerful, but it can also be the greatest source of conflict.
For example, if you are a detail person and I'm not and we are on a team, you might say we need more analysis on a problem before making a decision and I may want to make a decision.
Teaching people about diverse personalities allows them to appreciate differences as benefits to their own shortcomings.
Another challenge facing executives is how to keep teams motivated.
Probably the first question to be answered in a discussion of motivation is, "What makes us do anything?"
Each day brings with it an endless list of decisions to be made.
The process of making thorough decisions is driven, in large part, by the hope of a benefit or the fear of a consequence.
Literally every decision we make is filtered through this process.
Industrial psychologists have taken this further by defining these consequences as needs.
Our needs for sustenance, safety, security, belonging, recognition and a sense of growth and achievement become strong motivators of behavior.
When members are aligned with the team's purpose, feel a challenge in their task, have a strong sense of camaraderie, feel responsible for the outcome, and experience growth as a team and in their personal lives, they will tend to sustain motivation over the long haul.
This is not to say they will not have difficult times, or that members' wants and needs won't change over time.
In these cases, changes will have to be made.
A member who no longer feels the team is meeting his or her needs may have to leave the team to continue on his or her own path.
But as much as possible, the factors above will tend to create the best possible environment for team motivation.
What if the workplace became a community instead of a production line?
In that atmosphere, every employee has ownership in the product. Communities are often developed in a moment or in a day.
The meaningful communities are those that last years and continually challenge people to reach their greatest potential.
Creating community in your workplace will provide teamwork, retention of employees and a healthier work force.

Political Perceptions: In New Swing State Math, Obama Retains an Advantage
It's certainly good news for Barack Obama's campaign that he's ahead in national polls. It's better news that he's ahead—though not by a lot—in the shrinking pool of swing states that will actually decide the election.
The stark reality for most Americans is that they happen to live in states that don't figure into the presidential-election calculus. These are states that are either so certain to vote Democratic or Republicans that it isn't worthwhile for either campaign to spend the candidate's time or their advertising money in them.
More In Political Perceptions
- Political Perceptions: Split Decision for Congress?
- Political Perceptions: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
- Political Perceptions: Florida's 'Operation Lemonade'
- Political Perceptions: Still Little Clarity in Ohio
- Political Perceptions: Makings of a Split 2012 Outcome
- Political Perceptions: Jokes With a Message
The true swing states are the ones that matter—the ones where the race still is truly competitive between President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney. And at this point, that list probably has narrowed to just nine of the 50 states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.
So the most important question is: How does the race look in those states?
To find out, the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll distilled findings from voters in those states interviewed in the poll's last four national surveys. The result: President Obama leads, 47% to 45%.
That two-point Obama margin in the swing states compares with a four-point margin, 48% to 44%, he held nationally in that same set of polls.
These swing states, collectively, gave President Obama a slightly lower cumulative job-approval rating—46%–than did the country at large, where the figure was 48%. Positive views of the president also were a notch lower, by precisely the same margin.
Positive views of Mr. Romney, meanwhile, were lower across the swing states, standing at 37% of those surveyed. That matched exactly his rating nationally.
By the way, by this accounting, the blue states that seem locked in for President Obama carry 237 Electoral College votes, while the red states that appear locked in for Mr. Romney carry 191. The swing states carry 110 Electoral College votes. Winning the presidency requires 270.

A Novel Approach to High Speed Digital Pulse-formers Based on Ring Oscillators for PWM and Class-D Applications
In this paper, a new concept for a high speed, high resolution digital pulse-former is presented. A digital pulse-former basically maps each input data word (sample) into a binary pulse of corresponding width. Such binary pulse-length modulated signals are incorporated in digital class-D amplifiers and pwm applications. In our approach a synchronous digital counter converting the "rough" part of the input sample is combined with a ring oscillator serving as "fine" counter. This hybrid configuration yields a drastically increased resolution while maintaining moderate clock rates. Results of a first discrete implementation of this concept are discussed.

Goffer Passed Tips to Impress Rajaratnam, Prosecutor Says
Zvi Goffer, a former deputy of Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, employed corrupt lawyers who passed tips on deals and used disposable mobile phones to communicate, a prosecutor told a jury in New York.
"This is a case about corruption, about traders who bribed lawyers to get secrets from companies," Assistant Manhattan U.S. Attorney Andrew Fish told federal court jurors today in his opening remarks. "Traders who then used this information to buy stock and make millions of dollars."
Goffer, 34, who left Galleon to work at Schottenfeld Group LLC and then founded his own firm, Incremental Capital LLC, went on trial with his brother, Emanuel Goffer, 32, and Michael Kimelman, 40, both ex-traders at Incremental.
All three men are charged with securities fraud and conspiracy, stemming from one of three overlapping rings tied to Galleon, prosecutors said. They face as long as 20 years in prison if convicted of fraud.
"This man, Zvi Goffer, was the ringleader of that scheme," Fish said, pointing to Goffer. "He paid tens of thousands of dollars in cash bribes for inside information."
Passing Tips
Fish told jurors they would hear wiretaps of telephone calls Goffer made discussing the scheme with his co-defendants that were secretly recorded by the U.S. He also said the jury would hear from three cooperating witnesses who were participants in the scheme, including Brien Santarlas, one of two former Ropes & Gray LLP lawyers who pleaded guilty to passing tips to another co-defendant.
Fish said that when Goffer sought to get a job at Galleon, he passed inside information he had learned about a transaction involving 3Com Corp. and Axcan Pharma Inc. to Craig Drimal, a former Galleon trader. Drimal earned more than $6 million on the deal, Fish said.
"Goffer wanted Galleon management to see that he had access to inside information," Fish said. Jurors will hear a wiretap of Goffer giving the lawyers credit for helping him get a job at Galleon, he said.
Zvi Goffer's lawyer, William Barzee, said in his opening statement to jurors that his client was actually fired by Rajaratnam for his failure as a trader.
'You're Fired'
"'Zvi Goffer, you're fired,' that's what Raj Rajaratnam told Zvi Goffer after he went to work at Galleon," Barzee said.
Barzee said Goffer based trades on research and by speaking to analysts and listening to rumors prevalent on Wall Street.
"He was like one of those gold prospectors with a tin pan, searching for gold in a river, and the river was the stream of information and gossip blogs," Barzee said. "Zvi Goffer's job was to listen to all these rumors and find this one gold nugget of information."
Barzee told jurors that the government will play less than 1 percent of the telephone conversations actually recorded by the U.S. during the investigation. He called his client a "braggart" and said Zvi Goffer liked to exaggerate what he knew.
"This kind of exaggeration is a cottage industry on Wall Street. On Wall Street this is what people do. They pretend they have an edge," he said. "Why? Because if you do, you're more likely to invest with them.
'It's Stupid'
"It's stupid, it's immoral, it's probably wrong," he said. "But it's certainly not insider trading and it's not illegal. It's what happens every single day."
Fish said that at one point, the two Ropes & Gray lawyers mistakenly saw papers in a room they believed involved the closing of a deal involving Clear Channel Communications Inc. and Bain Capital LLC, when instead it was documents in preparation for a lawsuit over the financing of the deal by six banks.
Barzee argued this was an example of his client's ability to exaggerate what he knew.
"In Clear Channel he lost so much money that Raj Rajaratnam took him into the conference room and said, 'You're fired,'" Barzee said. "That's insider trading?"
Michael Ross, a lawyer for Emanuel Goffer, told jurors today that his client had been a successful trader before joining his brother at Incremental. He said his client had no way of knowing if the information given to him was improperly obtained.
"Not everyone who trades stock is a thief or a crook," Ross said.
Disposable Phone
Kimelman's lawyer, Michael Sommer, told jurors in his opening statement that his client didn't use a disposable phone, never paid for inside information and wasn't recorded trading on insider tips.
"Thank God they made all these recordings," Sommer said about the government. "There's not a single recording -- not one -- in which you will hear Michael Kimelman buying stock on the basis of insider information that came to him."
The scheme netted at least $20 million, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged when it filed a related civil lawsuit.
The case is U.S. v. Goffer, 10-cr-00056, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Running a rooted Galaxy S2 with DarkyROM2 2.3.5 & SuperCore kernel. I have a 32 GB microSD card in addition to the 16 GB internal storage, and it takes ages to scan both when the phone boots. At times when I connect USB mass storage mode and later turn off, it goes into an infinite reboot loop. Have tried this, but it doesn't appear to work. Any other workarounds?
You will need to root your phone first and then download and install a free app from the market called 'Rescan Media Root' by 'Aditya Talpade'. Launch the app and you can easily disable the scans.

Family stay - excellent
Our stay at the Carlton Tyrellstown was excellent from start to finish.
The room was perfect with 2 single beds for the children in an almost 'separate quarters'. Comfy, clean and beautiful. We ate in the bar and the food was gorgeous. Receptionist was one of the nicest, on arrival (can't remember name but originally from India) and bar staff were equally very nice (from Dublin :)). Food was reasonably priced by Dublin standards. Really enjoyed this hotel from beginning to end. Thank you.

Worst hotel I have stayed at in a long time
Dirty stained carpets, walls, ceiling!.
Very uncomfortable bed which was very noisy. The furniture fabric was worn through to the wood and the bathroom speaker in my children's room couldn't be turned off therefore they had to keep the tv at its lowest volume setting. Great for the neighbouring room. There was something on the arm of one of the chairs that I am just hoping was 'chocolate'!!. We went to use the restaurant and were told it was fully booked, as we were leaving to go and drive elsewhere to find food another member of staff said they could squeeze us in. We then had sole use of the restaurant for around an hour. When we complained to the manager in the morning he said that he was aware some of the rooms were not up to an acceptable standard but was full so had to use them!!!. We were given a refund for one room. Once we got started we noticed many more problem, far to many to go into with the manager. I would love to know who 4star rated this hotel. I have used far better much lower rates hotels.

Another "finish your degree" comment. Once you're in the real world, pursue what interests you, to include law enforcement. Best of luck - E
This is a discussion on Law Enforcement Career Switch Question within the Law Enforcement, Military & Homeland Security Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; If you can stand it finish the degree. My department pays 5-15% percent bonus for Associates-Masters. All Federal jobs pretty much require degrees as well ...
Leave CMU and join the academy if possible
Finish another year at CMU and then join the academy
Don't bother with L.E.
If you can stand it finish the degree. My department pays 5-15% percent bonus for Associates-Masters. All Federal jobs pretty much require degrees as well as alot of bigger departments. Stick with it.

God, country, family.
I agree with Sixto in the most kind fashion.....
you'd be a knucklehead to not finish that degree now
do it
you can always do something else but at least you would have the degree, it can help you in the future LE or not
as others have said...lot easier to get degree now then get in LE than to get into LE then 2 to 3 years down the road try to complete the degree while working full time

If loose gun laws are good for criminals why do criminals support gun control?
I was in the same boat about a year ago. I too graduated high school in 2005. I had one year till I graduated with a bachelor of science in communication, but I just couldn't take school anymore; it all seemed like "BS" work. I really wanted to be in the marine corps, actually doing something with my life. Well, I should have been graduating this May. To make matters worse, they canceled a whole mess of classes I needed to graduate due to budget cuts, so I won't be graduating until December. It is disheartening to hear that a 4.0 student cannot graduate on time because of external circumstances. But, I have the privilege to be the son of a very wise man who was not able to attend college himself. He told me that college is like life; that is, it is a process. You have to enjoy the process, which is all about your attitude. A bad attitude will carry over into whatever else you do. So enjoy the challenges you have right now, and seek new challenges once you have stuck it out and graduated. Plus like many others said, LE probably won't hire you without LE experience.
Just a little more tidbits. College is not for everyone. But unfortunately, because soooooo many people get "pushed" through the system that is public education, a bachelors degree is the new high school diploma.
Here's a novel idea.
Become a Reserve Officer while you work towards finishing your degree. Check out the various programs, many will have night classes that you attend in which you can certify. That'll give you an idea if its something that you want to do for the rest of your life.
Its not for everyone. I've known of two deptuys that grew up thinking they wanted to be cops. One quit after about a week of field training when he walked up on a guy that blew his brains out with a shotgun while sitting in his car. Another quit because it wasnt at all like he thought it'd be.
If you decide that its not for you, then, you'll have the degree to fall back on.

a - you're not a quitter, and the recruiter will look at that.
b - that degree opens doors farther down the line, and many places require a 4 yr degree, even in advanced basket weaving, to show you have higher education. in some places, it may be mandated for anything higher than sergeant.
c - if you put it off, it's MUCH harder to go back to school.
d - if you leave with all that debt and nothing to show for it, what was the point? it'll leave you frustrated later.
LE is an awesome career field, and i love my career, but it will still be there later. this is not always the case with college courses, where time is NOT on your side.
stay the course, and even when you complete, NEVER stop advancing yourself. take continuing education, maybe go for an even higher degree later.
just my two cents.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined" ~Patrick Henry
No matter what you decide to do for a career, FINISH YOUR DEGREE.
I have a great job but only three years of college. I LUCKED OUT on the job and I do mean LUCKED OUT. Beyond getting lucky in getting a great job I really like, I often regret not finishing my degree.
Do it now while you're young.

While Rick Cooper enjoys Christmas as much as the next person, a 13-day holiday layoff wasn't exactly the perfect present for the West Texas A&M men's basketball coach.
The Buffaloes will find out whether 13 days of the holiday cheer can cool off one of the hottest Division II teams in the country when they play Oklahoma Panhandle State at 7 p.m. Friday in Goodwell, Okla. The Buffs haven't played since a 71-44 win against Angelo State on Dec. 17.
WT (9-1) puts a seven-game winning streak on the line against an OPSU team the Buffs will play for the second time. WT beat OPSU (2-8), 68-45, on Dec. 7 in First United Bank Center in Canyon.
The victory against OPSU was No. 4 in their current winning streak as the Buffs grabbed a 41-19 halftime lead.
"I'm worried sick about this game," Cooper said. "Our conditioning is a concern to me, and getting back in shape will be a work in progress. And then Panhandle State won't be lacking for motivation to play us."
OPSU will be in similar shoes as WT when it comes to a lengthy break. The Aggies have played once since losing to WT, tumbling 99-92 to Central Christian on Dec. 16.
OPSU likely will try to slow down the Buffs' impressive starting front line of forward Kennon Washington and posts Courtney Carr and Donald Sims.
Junior college transfer Washington has shown some dynamic skills in posting a team-high 15.3-point scoring average.
Sims, also a JC transfer, averages nearly a double-double. Sims leads the Lone Star Conference in rebounding at 9.3 per game and averages 14 points.
Carr, a senior, has given the Buffs tremendous energy in the paint with his dunks and defense, and he is scoring 10.3 points per game.
OPSU likes the game up-tempo, with four players averaging in double-figure scoring. Senior guard D'ron Walker averages a team-high 16.6 points per game. Freshman guard Michael Patterson, a Palo Duro product, averages 11.7 points per game.
"We better be ready to play the type of game where we have to fight, scratch and claw for every basket and on every possession," Cooper said.
The Buffs received good news and added some depth on the inside just before their Christmas break when former Randall star Mason White returned to program the Buffs win against Angelo State.
White is a junior forward who played for WT his freshman and sophomore years. He sat out this season's first semester on his own but got the itch to play again and was welcomed back by Cooper.
White played nine minutes against ASU, producing two points, two assists and an offensive rebound.
"Mason stepped in and I thought did a nice job," Cooper said after the ASU game. "That was nice to see him out there."

C O: I had outrun the snipers at the airport. I would answer the 2 AM phone call. Just like Bill, he did not answer the 2 AM phone call from Somalia. It was a YouTube video. We were dead broke when we left the White House. I was going to send help but it was too late. I will not rest until we tracked down those that are responsible for this attack. The mother of the dead seal in Libya is lying. I understand the middle class. I forgot to pay taxes on millions of dollars for the last four years, I'll do that now. I fell down and hit my head and can't remember. It was wiped it clean with a cloth. What difference does it make now. They are using a video of Trump to recruit. I tried to enlist in the Marines. No Americans were killed Libya. And the BS goes on and on with this chronic liar. I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, Chelsea was jogging in NYC when the towers collapsed. I don't know how the finance records suddenly appeared, it was a vast right wing conspiracy, etc. in the one hand She supports the dealmaker of the awful Iran deal, Obama

Update: Just now, it happened again. After waking the computer from suspension, it was sluggish. I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but this time, it froze everything right away, the mouse and keyboard had power, but did not do anything. After a while, the screen went black, and the computer was unresponsive and forced me to press the manual reset once again. It seems it is related to suspension, somehow.
Old info:
Last night I had a scary event. I woke my computer out of suspended mode, and found that it reacted sluggishly. Changing tabs took several seconds, there was a distinct delay to everything.
So I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the task manager. I clicked the tab to sort the CPU intensive processes to the top, and saw that it was something like
nvstreamnv.exe slurping up a gig and more of memory. Then all of a sudden I lost control of mouse and keyboard! The mouse had no power, the infrared light was not glowing. I think the keyboard lights were still on, but no keys worked. After a while, all my Firefox windows were shut down at once. Later I got the message about restoring the session did not work as expected, so it seemed like an unusual shutdown.
At this point I pressed the reset button and restarted in failsafe mode.
I fiddled around in there, checked logs, and found nothing of significance (but then I don't know what to look for). I did turn off the "accept remote help" option, which was mysteriously turned on. I could not run any program in failsafe mode, as I thought I could, so I rebooted and ran my antivirus, which found nothing.
Since my antivirus (F-Secure) had been acting strange just the day before, this added to my paranoia. It had gone offline, giving me the windows warning thing "No antivirus is active" or whatnot, and then asking me to reboot. So I went to www.microsoft.com and found some online downloadable scanner, which reported no viruses. I also went to www.kapersky.com and downloaded a scannar, which reported no viruses or malware.
Feeling a bit more reassured, I am still worried. Due to a game I had played earlier, I had switched from my regular firewall to the Windows Firewall, which might have left me vulnerable. This was done via msconfig, turning off the service at the time in a trial and error fashion.
My question is, what could account for losing control of keyboard and mouse like that? The "nvstream.exe" seems to be connected to my NVIDIA software, as near as I can tell, and it looks like someone was remote controlling my computer, using my video card to send visuals? Should I be worried, do something else? Could some malware/trojan be still in my computer, even though the antivirus scans found nothing?
