UK, 1952 (MIFF 1958, Programme 36)
This is a faithful but not too serious reconstruction of a film show one might have seen at the Gem or Electric Palace in 1915. The feature is Will Barker's The Road to Ruin (which "The Times" described as "the greatest moral lesson ever preached from pulpit or stage"), in which the oldest invertebrate undergraduate of all time (obviously possessed of mechanical abdominal support) sees in a dream to what depths of degradation &ndash: gin and horse nobbling, child beating and wife slaughter &ndash: one may sink to by neglecting the advice of dear old mother. Due to the value of mother's love the film subsequently enables this Oxford man to graduate cum lauda honoris, in three months.
In support we have another "heavy" The Passions of Men ("a modern drama that palpitates with fire and power") &ndash: the story of a girl who is tricked into staying the night at her employer's house and an "intensely laughable photoplay", The Lovesick Maidens of Cuddleton about a handsome young doctor and his young women patients. A newsreel and Making Christmas Crackers add to the programme.

2013 Undies Awards
This Little Underground
Published: January 1, 2014
Best album product: The physical Solillaquists of Sound album (The 4th Wall) is so exceptional that it warrants a separate category. With its hardcover book casing, binding and finish, this is really the most beautiful packaging of any album this year. It also just happens to be local. In a soullessly digital era, it's a material work of art and a real collectible.
Best concert conceptualization/experience: John Vanderslice at the Acre by Dave Plotkin. It's the rare instance where the show organizer bested even the performers in imagination and execution. And it was the year's coolest, most immersive engagement.
Most progressive concert presenter: The Civic Minded 5. They probably deserve this every year, but I tuned in more this season and can now attest firsthand that they're light-years ahead in taste and originality. They bring an enlightened underground that's thoroughly big-city.
Worst scene development: City Hall's tilted, tone-deaf and anti-culture attempt to rewrite downtown's nightlife rules.
Best scene development: The city's real nightlife builders showing up at City Council en masse to shut that shit down.
Best love letter to Orlando: Matt Pond's "Hole in My Heart" video. Excellently filmed by local filmmaker and Pauses member Jason Kupfer, it's the indie bard's visual ode to his recent residency here. It spotlights the hip, real Orlando and, best of all, features a great bike-wreck/ass-bust at the two-minute mark!
Best fest: Total Bummer Fest. There wasn't much competition this year, but this art-minded, electronic-leaning indie festival was much improved.
Top local mercenaries: Andrew LaCour, Tierney Tough, Ranson Vorpahl and Tre Hester. These Orlando talents were recruited as official players by first-rate national acts, LaCour by KEN Mode and the others by Matt Pond (even making a national TV appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon).
Best backup for a local: Chuck Ragan's band for Bartender Brian. While the above locals are backing up other heavyweights, Bartender Brian can boast about being summoned onstage at this year's Revival Tour by Ragan himself, where they all commenced to perform one of Brian's songs.

Dominick Cherrett is a man with his own secret to keep: namely, what he, a British nobleman, is doing on American soil working as a bondsman in the home of Mayor Kendall, a Southern gentleman with his eye on a higher office.By chance one morning before the dawn has broken, Tabitha and Dominick cross paths on a misty beachhead, leading them on a twisted path through kidnappings, death threats, public disgrace, and . . . love? Can Tabitha trust Dominick? What might he be hiding? And can either of them find true love in a world that seems set against them?With stirring writing that puts readers directly into the story, Lady in the Mist expertly explores themes of identity, misperception, and love's discovery.

text: Lapdogs: White House Press Corps Asks Obama, 'Did You Beat Tiger?' Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 18 Feb 2013 post a comment Affirming their complete transformation from watchdogs into lapdogs, the White House Press Corps greeted President Barack Obama's return to Washington, D.C. on Monday with the following question--which they shouted in unison: "Did you beat Tiger?!?" The press pool report, cited by Politico's Dylan Byers, makes a mockery of the serious efforts of Fox News' Ed Henry, who is president of the White House Correspondents Association, to ensure "transparency" and press access to the president. Henry has been protesting President Obama's refusal to speak with reporters or pose for photographs during his entire weekend on vacation in Florida, during which Obama took golf lessons with the world's top instructor and played a round with Tiger Woods. Yet it is difficult to take reporters seriously when their first question is not about Obama's stalled Cabinet appointees, not about the emerging details of the Benghazi scandal, not about the economy and not about the murder spree that continued in the wake of Obama's visit to Chicago on Friday--but about a golf game. What good is access, if all that the nation's leading journalists care about is trivia, frivolity and celebrity buzz? For the record, the president did not answer the question, whose answer should have been quite obvious.

Hosting a huge archive of amateur Asian woman posing nude, masturbating, and having sex with their boyfriends and girlfriends (sometimes at the same time), My Cute Asian offers you a look at how Asian women enjoy the exhibitionist side of sex and homemade porn just as much as your English minx or American college hottie. Those of you ready to indulge your Asian mail-order bride fantasies will find it a real "Hoot!"
When Brad snagged himself a gorgeous half-Japanese wife, he may not have had any idea that he'd end up as her co-star on their very own adult website. Luckily for him, his bride of five years, Mari, is an eager minx willing to try almost anything sexual and always ready to throw photographic and videographic proof of their newfound carnal joys online for her fans to watch. Dedicated to her marriage, her sexuality, and the members of her website, Mari makes My Hot Asian Wife a real treat and, although it has some maturing to do, this fresh site is as enticing as its Asian subject.
Tokyo is the loudest, most populous, and most energetic city in Japan, so it makes perfect sense that the hottest hardcore porn in the Land of the Rising Sun should come from Tokyo. With more than 350 scenes already online and more arriving throughout the week, Tokyo Bang is the simplest site on the All Japanese Pass network, but its simplicity delivers plenty of hardcore punch in scenes that, though catering to various niche and fetish interests, always deliver powerful sex. It's not a perfect site, but few are and even fewer offer what Tokyo Bang offers.
Cosplay: it sends fanboys into a tizzy and gives hot girls yet another excuse to prance around with little clothing on and now, thanks to J Cosplay, it's explicitly pornographic! An All Japanese Pass site featuring a bevy of gorgeous women all dolled up in their favorite characters' uniforms, J Cosplay offers hardcore sex of a decidedly fantastic variety. Although those pesky clouds of censorship mean you'll rarely, if ever, get an unobscured view of "the goods", J Cosplay comes through well thanks to its fun, colorful content.
You've beaten off to all sorts of smut: German scat, vomit-inducing blowjobs, Real Doll orgies, and even some female-POV scenes that had you questioning the legitimacy of your professed heterosexuality… for a moment. But now, dear reader, you've come to the weirdest and wildest site on the 'net, the only one to offer nude synchronized swimming one day, ejaculate-filled sandwich gorging the next. Wierd Japan pushes the otherwise quite vanilla All Japanese Pass over the edge into bizarro world.
Instead of taking one on the chin, chest, tongue, forehead, belly, or ass, the women appearing at O Creampies let their legs fall open and embrace internal ejaculation. As you watch the semen seep from their wombs, you'll examine every frame of the video in all its uncensored glory for O Creampies is relatively free of that plague of J-porn: the floating pixel cloud! It's all ooey gooey screwy cablooey from here on out at O Creampies, so come on in!
Japanese women have long held a strong hold on the fantasies of Western men. Legendary for their submissiveness, their servitude, their eagerness to please, their tight snatches, the women of Japan are celebrated in decadent hardcore style here at Erito. Although suffering from the same visual censorship most hardcore J-porn suffers from, Erito's four sites are nonetheless loaded with carnal delights covering all mainstream acts and the more out-there, more adventurous fetishes and kinks. But can Erito's stunning array of Japanese babes indulging their sexually wild sides make a strong enough impact without offering a single video for download?
Creampie porn is always running the risk of appealing largely to those with impregnation fetishes and fantasies, and as far as fantasies go, fucking a tight Southeast Asian babe is very common. Creampie Thais offers viewers the chance to live vicariously through a guy who has made it his mission to blow loads inside the pussies of as many Thai girls as possible. And blow he does! With some unfortunately disappointing HD videos only recently arriving here and updates in an uncertain, but not at all promising state, Creampie Thais sits on the verge of success, teetering on collapse. Will it pull through or will you be left to go traveling for yourself?

Messing with "Authentic" Baguettes
- Servorg Aug 21, 2013 02:08 PM
I've gotten in enough "spirited" discussions on CH over the years with the hounds who hew to the authentic to know what sharp elbows they have. (g) I've come at this (obviously) heretical idea of championing those who break away from the tried and true and push the food envelop just as far as it can be pushed. I've also tried the old "The customer is always right" attack, which seems not to carry much, if any, weight with the "authenticers" (riffing on the birthers here, just to tweak my long time foes...hee hee).
But now this latest article http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001... in the WSJ on the under baking of the sacred French baguette seems to be more ammunition in my quiver for the next time the "authentic" war breaks out here. See what you think and feel free to chime in on whatever side of the Mason-Dixon line you reside.
Oh dear Lord! I just printed out the WSJ article and gave it to my Frenchman. You see, the staff at every single supermarket in our area knows us--at Wegman's in KOP, the staff at the bread area runs away when they see him. He has spoken to the managers of various stores--has gone to various bakeries and complained that their "authentic" baguettes are fakes...and he has actually trained me AND my grown children on how to go into a store and squeeze the baguettes (just like the Charmin') until we find one that is "just right". THEN, when we come home we heat the loaf in a 350 degree oven for three minutes. Oh..and we never purchase the bread longer than 2 hours prior to dinner.
I swear to you--last month we were in France. We actually drove from Paris to Garches just to get a great baguette (or three). Then...when we were in Cannes, he would make sure that we were at a certain bread shop across from Marche Forville at exactly 3:45 PM five out of nine days to make sure we go there when they had the "trad" baguette.
I. Cannot. Make. This. Up. He is reading the article now with great disgust!
re: jarona
Are you telling me that this is where the aphorism "Is nothing sacred?" came from? Or at least personifies it to the nth degree.
re: Servorg
LOL--He's mentioned many times that "zuh baguette eze sacred"...amazing!
re: jarona
Jarona- I assume by your KOP reference you're in the western burbs of Philly? If so, make a trip to North Wales some day and visit Alice's Bakery; they make real-deal baguettes.
Full disclosure: I'm American, so these may not meet your Frenchman's exacting standards, but I do know they are better than Wegman's.
re: jarona
You can search Alice's on the Philly board if you want confirmation that it's pretty well acknowledged to be the best in the area.
re: jarona
I, for one, have an appreciation for this Frenchman of yours.
Sure, the market will dictate what is sold overall but you will eventually find that there will be "specialty shop" that sell traditional baguettes just as there are "traditional" style ethnic restaurants serving food the way it's supposed to be prepared. These places may not necessarily do well at your local mall (where the "unwashed masses" tend to eat) but they are often successful in more densely populated areas. There will always be a market for the authentic. Like your Frenchman, those of us in search of it will just have to look a little harder.
re: bobbert
......and now that summer is at an end, my project this winter is going to research how to attempt to create that elusive baguette. In fact..., much to the Frenchman's pleasure, I will be enrolling in a bread baking class on our next trip to Paris next year!
re: bobbert
Or do without.
The speciality store idea works well when you live in an area that has enough demand to support the good stuff. If you live in an area that can't support it, you're SOL.
I eat bread maybe once or twice a month. It's possible to get good bread where I live (a city of 7 million can support a lot of niche markets), but the hour to hour and a half round trip on public transportation for an acceptable loaf of bread makes it a special treat.
"Authentic" is a crock of shit.
As is "the customer is always right"
The first is meaningless and the second just patent bollocks.
re: Harters
I've always looked at the phrase "the customer is always right" as a concept that is alerting the business community that tastes are changing, and that the one(s) who understand that first will be best positioned to satisfy that change.
Obviously this doesn't happen overnight. And often it isn't a complete change that will put you out of business if you don't start riding that wave. But sometimes it does. And widening ones business base is usually a good idea. Niche businesses can, and do exist. But they also tend to be and stay small.
re: Harters
It's a word. It has meaning. Look it up.
re: Harters
What I said is true, which is where you have your underlying problem. But I understand; words can be very perplexing.
'I'm not biting'....Ah, but you did.
As far as the OP is concerned, I remember visiting a friend in Canet-Plage in 1985, and I went with him to visit his father in the mountainous town of Prades. He dad wore a beret and always kept a pocket knife to cut his baguette. He complained that the baguettes of the day were not like when he was young....
It does make me wonder if this is the case everywhere, even in villages with one boulangerie.
I have always felt that baguettes (from serious bakers) in the US were too tough, as if they were trying too hard to make a 'Crusty European Bread' but didn't understand the baguette, not getting the shatter and tenderness that used to be matter-of-fact in France, or least in the provinces, I have less experience in Paris.
re: sandylc
A proper baguette should not make a good sandwich. It will be too tough for that. But take a knife and slice off a round? Your teeth are tearing into the interior first and it should not be that tough. The crust should shatter.
re: sandylc
For me , that is expected and perfect. For you ?
A crust that shatters, for creme brûlée yes, for bread not for me.
re: Delucacheesemonger
What do you think of sandwiches made with a baguette?
Regretfully l have to agree, while my 10 or so bakeries all over Paris do keep their baguette traditional as hard to chew as hardtack, thank God for this, most stores make a non-traditional baguette which is sort of Wonder Bread in a tube shape, not as bad as a Subway roll but getting there. Even the serious bakers, winners of the Meilleur de baguette, also make the soft loaf as well and it is a bit cheaper also.
Had noticed four French bakers came to Sarasota over a 5 year period and when they opened their bread was perfect, after 6 months it was very dummied down and for me inedible.
Ultimately, if you're baking/cooking for a living, you listen to what the customers want. I have an uncle who opened an "authentic" chinese restaurant and about went out of business. He changed it to american chinese, frozen dimsum, california rolls,...and stayed in business. The customer may not always be right but the market gets what it wants, on a macro scale.
re: chowser
It brings to mind the Seinfeld episode with "Babu Bhatt" and Jerry's suggestion that he go completely authentic with his menu...
re: Servorg
Exactly--good reference. Some people only want to pretend to eat that cuisine (not that there's anything wrong with that).
This is very funny to me, as this afternoon I bought a "French baguette" at Trader Joe's and noticed only later that it had been par-baked. Put into a 450º oven for ten minutes did give us a nice bread - our gang was actually doing a Spanish meal, but when the wine and olive oil flow a Crusty Loaf is a Crusty Loaf - but a loaf with the life span of a mayfly has few attractions for me, and I don't care who adores it. After finishing the baking I cut this thing across into halves, and sliced one half for cheese and stuff. The second will get toasted for breakfast, after slicing.
re: Will Owen
As a follow-up to the above, when I brought the unused half home, I immediately did what the Bread Gurus expressly forbid: wrapped it in plastic! That was Friday night. This morning (Tuesday) I cut six diagonal slices off it and toasted them to have with scrambled eggs (very nice!). The rest went back into the plastic bag …
re: Will Owen
There are times when you want to make a lean bread keep longer. That's just life.
I have wrapped a baguette in plastic and then later wet it under the faucet and put it in a 375 preheated oven for a few minutes. Almost like fresh.
Authentic bourgeoisie food sounds like an oxymoron, no?
Said sacred baguette is a relatively modern invention.
re: Chowrin
I'm not sure why authentic bourgeoisie food is oxymoronic? After all, as the article explains, the baguette was developed because of the work place laws that protected French bakers from having to work the long, overnight hours necessary to make the round loaves.
So this invention from the 1920's is deeply rooted in the bourgeoisie class, and is an authentic French staple (or was, at least, given the shift to the new "white" baguette being asked for by the younger set).
re: Chowrin
Yes, relatively modern, although I have some notes dating to 1916 of what I assume to be a baguette. Or, at least, baguette-ish.
Gunner Rowland Luther, 92nd Howitzer Brigade, was sent off by his officer, to the village of Bray to buy all the bread he could find for his comrades. He came back with two big sackfuls. "They were about 18 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. They contained no salt".
I know the general area of Bray-sur-Somme quite well and have often bought sandwiches from boulangeries in the villages and towns around there. The bread is thinner than Luther describes, as baguettes we now recognise, with a crisp crust, but not an overly crisp and hard one - sounds like the ones described in the OP's link. Makes for a good sandwich, IMO.
re: Harters
How does the size in that area compare to a ficelle?
re: Steve
Thicker. Baguette sized, as I mentioned.
As a tangent, of a food from the area, a "ficelle picarde" isnt bread, but a savoury pancake rolled into a cylinder, containing mushroom and topped with a cheese sauce.
re: Chowrin
Most French food we champion these days is actually bourgeoisie cuisine. It can be divided among haute bourgeoisie and petit bourgeoisie, and the latter group may include the richer farmers whose cooking inspire so many of our cookbooks yearning for the so called simpler life.
The actual peasants ate a very limited and impoverished diet.
You'll find this to be the case with many cuisines world-wide.
re: Roland Parker
Slightly yes, and slightly no. the peasants ate a gorge/famine diet, because of lack of refrigeration -- and the effort involved in cooking a whole beast. Many dishes are festival foods.
re: Chowrin
You're oversimplifying the subject and ignoring that for the genuine peasants - laborers on the estates of the wealthy and farms of the better off peasants, as well as the urban working classes, the diets was, while certainly seasonal, was extremely simple and based on a simple menu of cheap carbohydrates and basic vegetables with the rare bit of meat/offal. This was due not just to refrigeration but also out of economic necessity. So many of these people, well into the 19th century, did live on the fringe of starvation for the majority of their lives and were undernourished.
The people who had the means to actually prepare something we can call a cuisine came from the bourgeoisie, which encompasses not just the rich but more prosperous farmers and tenants. They had the means and access to a range of produce, spices, meats and foodstuff to cook a wide variety of meals on a regular basis. That's not to say there aren't a few dishes that had its origins in peasantry cooking that found its way, with the aid of refinement, into the bourgeoisie kitchen. Since we're talking about baguettes, the traditional peasant and laborer of France didn't eat baguettes but a coarser, darker bread. White flour was always more expensive, and the earlier in the 19th and 18th century you go, substantially more expensive and beyond the means of many people.
India is a good place to go to see what life was like in pre-21st century Europe. The bulk of the Indian population, who are agricultural peasants, eat nothing but rice and dal and a handful of vegetables. Meat is saved for special occasions such as festivals. It's only when you move into the kitchens of the better off sectors of society that you start seeing a more developed, more complex cuisine including many of the dishes we take for granted in Indian restaurants.
re: Roland Parker
I agree with much of what you say but the comparison to India may not be the best. A vast number of Indians are vegetarians and many more don't eat meat in the home. It's not necessarily a "festive" ingredient- it's just not culturally emphasized.
Since, as the 'Tao Te Ching' informs us "all experience is relative" everything then must be 'authentic'. When I lived in S. France every piece of baguette tasted the same as it did the day before to my palette. But it is obvious that each baguette must have been a different beast than the one laying beside it.
So I think the word "authentic" ought to refer only to one specific thing/thought/sound....baguette. Better to refer to something as 'very similar' to the baguette I had yesterday. Or not. Depending on what some one 'upstream' had thrown into the local water supply. The relative age of the yeast. The flour milled which came from a different field as the baker used the day before. The handling of the bread. And on and on.
'Authentic' ought to be used as carefully as using words like 'never' and 'always' and 'forever'. You know. Like Lao Tzu suggested small fish ought to be cooked. "Carefully".
And here is the corresponding post on the France board, if you want to see what the Chowhounds say on the other side:

CHARLOTTE COUNTY Fla.- Deputy First Class Timothy Hamula officially resigned his position with the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office yesterday after admitting to investigators that he falsified documents in an effort to appease his supervisors demands for more activity. In internal affairs documents obtained by WINK news, Hamula's supervisor documents how he found some of the deputies records to be questionable. The supervisor contacted several of the people that Hamula had written warning citations to over the last 6 months and all of them denied ever even being pulled over, let alone recieving a citation
When hamula's supervisor confronted him with the data, Hamula originally turned his supervisor away by saying that he "could not advise on the issue". Hamula then returned to his supervisor just over an hour later and stated that "He was sorry and that he had lied and that he was under stress to to show activity and that he had made up traffic stops".
Shortly thereafter an Internal Affairs Investigation was opened into the incedent. hamula was found guilty of Falsification of Official Documents and Untruthfulness. We attempted to contact Hamula and his attorney but they both declined to comment on the investigation or hamulas resignation. the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office told WINK news that they do not comment on Internal Affairs Investigations.

it is quite specific. it went like this: a man was sleeping in bed when he awoke to stomach (bowel) pains. he lifted his blanket to find a bright blue flame coming out of his stomach. he rushed to the bathroom to put it out but it was no use, it wouldn't go out and the man either died of suffocation or from burning. again, it's very specific and i dont know if the exact case exists or not. i remember reading it somewhere
nananananaa 46-50, F 8 Answers 1 May 4, 2012
If he died, how does anyone know he had a blue flame coming out of his stomach? It's not like he could tell anyone.
Best Answer
I do know that, even though it's incredibly rare, there are cases where people have randomly caught on fire. It's called "spontaneous combustion."

Owner Ruth Anne Brown (left) in her RBC Inc. showroom with Showroom Manager Walker Rediehs for story about apparel businesses having to leave 350 N. Orleans st. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times.

Updated: December 10, 2012 1:04PM
The former Apparel Center is now going without a stitch.
You know the building and maybe still call it that. It's the one along the river just west of the Merchandise Mart, with the Chicago Sun-Times name on it and a Holiday Inn on top of it. It opened in 1977 as a home for apparel dealers, an offshoot of the Merchandise Mart's trade show business.
The old name was dropped some years ago and now the building, at 350 N. Orleans, is losing its last connection with the industry for which it was built. The landlord, Shorenstein Properties LLC, wants the remaining tenants with apparel showrooms to leave the building by May 31.
It will complete the building's transition to a general office location. A Shorenstein spokesman said about 60 small tenants have been asked to move. Their space, on the 6th and 13th floors, amounts to 132,000 square feet that Shorenstein will renovate. The company hopes to offer it for lease this fall.
Many apparel clients are moving next door to the mart. Others are scrambling to find a new home.
"It breaks my heart to have to leave," said Ruth Anne Brown, who has two Apparel Center showrooms and is relocating to the mart, which she said has been cooperative. Her problem is that the fashion industry is losing an important symbol in Chicago.
"I'd like to talk with [Mayor] Rahm Emanuel to see if we can't do something about that," she said. Her hope is that showroom operators can band together to brand a location as a "fashion hub," a wholesale center for apparel.
San Francisco-based Shorenstein bought the old Apparel Center for $228 million in January. In a statement, the company said it is completing a transition started by former owner Vornado Realty Trust and is helping the apparel tenants find nearby space. "We appreciate that even though most of those tenants knew this day was near and some use their space only for storage, a move can still be disruptive," the company said.
The Sun-Times helped reposition the building by moving there in 2004. Other office tenants include Fiserv Inc. and Comcast SportsNet. The influx led to a new architectural detail — windows — being installed on what used to be windowless floors for showrooms and photo sessions.
Marilyn Lucas, owner of the Trinkets & Trappings showroom for children's apparel and accessories, also is headed to the mart, which gave the apparel industry here a lift decades ago. "Going back to the mother ship is not a bad thing," she said.
Mark Falanga, president of Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., said selling apparel has moved from a fixed showroom business to one in which wholesalers go to clients, often through trade shows. He said the mart will put the apparel clients on its 13th floor with giftware sellers on the theory that it's a good mix.
The giftware people are scattered on two floors and will benefit from consolidation, Falanga said.
His company, which runs the mart for Vornado, also is reorganizing showrooms for high-end and casual furniture. The high-end group, scattered over five floors, will be concentrated on two, while the casual side, spread over three floors, will be moved onto one and a half.
Architects, designers and buyers who visit the showrooms will "find a greatly enhanced environment conducive to their needs and respectful of their time," Falanga said.
Keep in mind that a floor at the mart is a world unto itself, measuring 200,000 square feet.
The movements within the building, and conversation by people who have space there have given rise to rumors that the mart is trying to lease or even sell a vast floor or two to a single user. Google Inc. has been mentioned, but the company, which is hunting for space downtown, has had its name connected to many potential sites.
Falanga said the company is not selling floors or marketing full-floor space. Data from CoStar Group Inc. show the mart with vacancy at a low 3 percent. In such a large building, however, that still amounts to about 220,000 available square feet.
Vornado Chairman Steven Roth said in a note to shareholders last week that he's not selling the mart, although he wants to unload "noncore" properties around the country to bolster a lagging stock price.
There's another issue hanging over the mart and the ex-Apparel Center. It's the Kennedy family's pursuit of a development for the empty Wolf Point site along the river, next to the 350 N. Orleans building.
Plans for a three-tower design are still being drafted. Sources said the Kennedys, former owners of the mart complex, want to start with an apartment tower.
If they can manage that, it would obscure views of 350 N. Orleans, which in its windowless days looked like boxes stashed along the river. It worked for the apparel folks, though.

page 6 - New Wave Sports Cars
The sports car is evolving. Here is a look at what it may become.
By February 20, 2004 / Photos by Guy Spangenberg and Koichi Ohtani
Mazdaspeed RX-8 and Hydrogen RX-8
Mazda got the wheels rolling with the notion of new-wave sports cars when it introduced the RX-8. Traditionalists will maintain that a sports car can't have four doors by virtue of its definition, but many, including me, believe that Mazda successfully executed the premise in the form of the RX-8. But in many enthusiasts' eyes, the stock RX-8 was still short of perfect. For one, some felt that the suspension of the car was tuned too soft. The car tended to take on a floaty nature when traveling over crests and dips, and body roll became pronounced on high-speed right/left transitions. Despite the linearity of the rack-and-pinion steering and the exceptional rigidity of the chassis, a certain amount of finesse is required to guide the car smoothly and quickly around a racetrack.
"Because it's a true 4-seater, we felt it should have adequate touring capabilities. We didn't want to make the car so stiff and rigid that it becomes a burden on long drives," Shiro Yoshioka, product chief, said. "For the purists, we will offer another version of the car."
That version, we discovered, is the Mazdaspeed RX-8.
On a cold winter day just outside Hiroshima, Japan, Yoshioka and his team of engineers invited me to sample a prototype Mazdaspeed RX-8. The car was rolled out straight from the research and engineering center onto the test track at Miyoshi, and they informed me that the engine tweaks had just been completed. Engine tweaks? "You're going to give it more power?" I asked enthusiastically.
"Not really," Yoshioka replied. "Our main goal was to give it better throttle response. We were able to give it a little more torque as well."
The nature of the Renesis rotary engine is such that peak horsepower isn't realized until very high in the rpm spectrum, and there's very little torque down low, thus making it difficult to extract the full potential of the rotary in everyday driving. Where some of us were expecting something along the lines of the RX-7 powerplant, we instead got something more akin to the high-strung inline-4 of the Honda S2000 (not a bad thing if you're into revs). Although Yoshioka wouldn't comment, sources close to the company said that the North American arm of Mazdaspeed is currently working on a supercharged version of the RX-8. There's even rumor of a hydraulic turbocharger, which uses a hydraulic pump instead of exhaust gases to spin the turbine.
"There are a number of possibilities we're still exploring," Yoshioka said. "The life cycle of the RX-8 is a long one so we want to gradually enhance the car. This car is the first step."
With that, he invited me to slide into the driver's seat. As soon as I stepped on the throttle, I could feel the difference in this rotary's character. It revs so smoothly and quickly that you reach the rev limiter in a snap of the finger no doubt the result of a new lightweight flywheel. The rotary's breathing has also been significantly improved slight modifications to the intake and a new exhaust system result in a better-sounding rotary with a bit more oomph. Although we get only about a 10-bhp boost in horsepower, the improvements in throttle response and midrange torque are immediately perceptible from the driver's seat.

Matthew Birt says:
Yamaha legend Wayne Rainey reckons Valentino Rossi's current YZR-M1 800cc machine is arguably the greatest MotoGP bike ever built.
This year's factory Yamaha has firmly established itself as the dominant force in MotoGP racing after the early 800cc dominance of Casey Stoner's Ducati Desmosedici.
Italian Rossi and talented Spanish team-mate Jorge Lorenzo have won nine races between them in 2009, adding to...

Of course it is. It's the latest thing out there & it's doing all the winning. Dominant? Not as much as the Doohan era NSR's or Rossi era RCV211. Maybe Rainey is trying to belittle Vale a touch by saying such things. Comparatively in my mind Rossi's M1 is similar in performance to Rainey's YZR500's - excluding the 1992 model - a winners ego will last him a lifetime.Yamaha's generally have been the best handling things out there without quite as much engine as the Honda.

Just want to point that the 2007 Stoner Gets the upper in terms of Speed because his desmocedici Valve wont float even if the engine cranks upto 19000rpm why because of Desmodromic Valve Timing. So you may observe in all around aspects of the circuit the ducs speed never faltered in all aspects of the circuit.
Now comes the M1 and Honda uses Spring Valve timing, and at 19000rpm they are prone to Valve Float so you may also observe in straights this machine tend to slow resulting to loss of Power. The Yamaha was aware of it so they Introduced a formula 1 Valve Timing System known as Pneumatic in later stage of 07 but the engine tend to be unreliable, but they never gave up and push that direction in 2008. Inspite of some of the critics that it will be unrealiable and added weight to the bike. But their Development effort had resulted to Yamahas fruitful year. In short if you ask where the M1 got their power, the answer is in their Engine and it started in 2008 and that is the Pneumatic Valve Timing. Hope it clears up everything Up... Dont Under estimate the M1 if you drive it will be scary this bike is a monster in straights so much more its awesome agility will be more outstanding than it used to be in 2005.

Miami City Ballet (MCB) will start the new year with a company premiere and further signs of director Lourdes Lopez's signature influence on the city's biggest dance troupe. Jardi Tancat is a work based on Catalan folk songs choreographed by the hot Spanish contemporary choreographer Nacho Duato, who weaves in elements from the history and topography of an often-harsh land. MCB adds three more ballets to complete its repertoire for Program II, including a Balanchine set to Bach; Chutes and Ladders by Justin Peck; and a return of Symphonic Dances, created specifically for MCB by choreographer Alexei Ratmansky with a score by Rachmaninoff.

JBL Professional Introduces Its Best EON Loudspeaker Ever At ISE 2011: The New EON515XT
JBL Professional today introduced its EON515XT active loudspeaker. As the flagship of the iconic JBL powered portable speaker collection, the EON515XT was engineered for durability, high performance and ease of use. JBL has extended the reach of the current EON technology by improving input sensitivity, lowering the noise floor, adding user selectable EQ control and re-voicing the system for peak performance and enhanced audio precision.
âIn the development of our PRX600 Series weâve learned and implemented quite a few things that enhanced system performance,â? said Richard Ruse, JBL Director of Marketing for Portable PA. âWe knew we could do the same for the EON515XT and quite frankly, we couldnât wait to do it. Through amplifier optimization and restructuring of the gain stages, weâve increased the maximum SPL from 129 dB to 132 dB. Weâve made the system quieter when idling and re-voiced the system for a more even spectral balance. I think itâs the most musical EON we have ever built.â?
The 2-way EON515XT incorporates a JBL 2414H high-frequency neodymium compression driver and a 15-inch JBL 265F-1 Differential Drive® dual-voice-coil woofer perfectly matched to a proprietary Crown® Class D amplifier. The system has been re-voiced from previous models for better clarity and frequency balance and now delivers a stout 132dB maximum SPL. âWeâve raised the bar dramatically,â? noted Ruse.

jpg printing wizard does not work.
i tried to print a jpg file today, and i experienced a weird software/driver issue:
When i rightclicked on the .JPG file and clicked print, windows 7 opened some kind of wizard. I checked all the settings of both the printer and the wizard. Regardless of any settings, this wizard resulted in a blank page being printed. The inkhead of the printer moved back and forth, but no ink was being put on the page.
When i opened the .jpg file in openoffice Draw and printed from there, it used the default printer window of windows 7. This printed the page without any problems.
My printer is a Canon inkjet MP160.
|My System Specs
|07 Jan 2010
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Can you do a screen shot of that wizard? Does it have an error message? If you can please share it with us so we can see exactly what the screen says. By the way your describing it you might just need to install an updated driver for the Canon Printer
|My System Specs
|08 Jan 2010
more information
The wizard to which i was referring is simply the default program windows 7 uses when you rightclick on a jpg file and select "print".
Additional information: I use windows home premium 64 bit, and the jpg file was of a scanned document, a4 size, which contained only black and white.
The driver i used previously was the one that came with windows 7. (Version reported by windows: 6.1.7600.16385). Just today i installed a new driver from the Canon website, dutch Version 1.01 64 bits, (version reported by windows: 126.96.36.199.)
This new driver produced the exact same result as described in my previous post. BTW, personally i think this is a software issue and not a driver issue, as printing from openoffice worked perfectly.
|My System Specs
|09 Jan 2010
Unfortunately unless your driver is windows seven specific and Cannon also supplies applications for seven you nay be stuck. Without being able to use that function. I apologize as I can't seem to find your model on the Canon site. would you mind linking me to the driver page. Thanks. Fabe

Thanks Dwarf. Well it is seven comapatible and has all the software avalible. so I must say I'm of no help at this point as it puzzels me as well. Sorry Fabe
|My System Specs

Ok i installed version 1.11 (64 bit) from the page linked by Dwarf. Unfortunately, still the same problem.
|My System Specs
|10 Jan 2010
Just making sure ,did you follow thier setup guide about not plugging in the printer till step 4 or when prompted?Could make a difference http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/09000027..._esi_us_v1.pdf or not. Fabe
|My System Specs
|11 Jan 2010
no dice
i did not install the software mentioned in the pdf, just the driver.
Just to re-itterate, the problem is that the jpg is not properly printed when you right click on the jpg-file and click print (which, according to taskmanager is handled by explorer.exe.)
However, in Openoffice Draw the same .jpg file was printed just fine.
So the driver sends information to the printer, but apparently explorer does not send its info to the driver properly.
As far as the printer being plugged in or not, its properly installed in the hardware window. The installation file of the driver removed the previous version of the driver automatically.
If the printer was not correctly installed, i would not have been able to print from Openoffice.
Just today, i tried to print another .jpg file with 24 bit color, and got the same result. Blank page, both when printing in black and white and when printing in color.

Back to a gold premium in China - Phillips
Julian Phillips notes technical support has not been breached for gold and meantime that gold trades at premium in China again.
Posted: Monday , 28 Apr 2014
Johannesburg (Gold Forecaster) -
Gold Today – The gold price closed at $1,292.90 down $10.20 on the previous Friday, in New York. In the last week it was pushed back to support just above $1,280 but recovered in Asia and London to Fix this Monday morning at $1,302.00 and in the euro at €938.446 down only €3.169 on the last 11 days. The euro itself stood at $1.3874 half a cent stronger than 11 days ago. Ahead of the opening in New York gold stood at $1,301.00 and in the euro at €937.79.
Silver Today – The silver price closed at $19.67 unchanged on Friday 11 days ago, in New York. Ahead of New York's opening, it was trading higher at $19.60.
Gold (very short-term): We expect the gold price to consolidate, today in New York.
Silver (very short-term): We expect the silver price to consolidate, today in New York.
Price Drivers
It was good to be away from the desk for the last week, because the trading within a relatively small band can cause investment myopia over time. As you can see silver is unchanged since we left and gold has recovered. Prior to our departure the Technical picture was pointing higher, but this did not happen. Now it is pointing lower, but has failed to penetrate support. The fundamentals remain robust, but short-term traders creating activity through their constant pressure to the downside appear to be holding sway, but do not have the force to change the fundamental picture. That's why gold and silver could go both ways.
What they have achieved by this pressuring of the gold price is to shake out some more weak holders or stale bulls from the SPDR gold ETF to the extent of 6.292 tonnes over the last week, but none from the Gold Trust. Their respective holdings now stand at 792.139 tonnes and 164.41 tonnes.
This was enough to keep gold below $1,300, but unless it continues we cannot see the efforts of traders succeeding. If it forces a change of policy onto the large long-term institutional holders we could see lower prices. However, it would reinforce failure in these institutions if it did. So we wait and see.
In China the gold price is trading at a premium again, signifying that despite the increase in the number of banks importing gold, supply is becoming insufficient again. We believe that China either knowingly or unknowingly is controlling the gold price, not New York!
Silver – The silver price is holding firm seemingly free from the attacks of short-term traders. Undeterred by $: € exchange rate changes silver perhaps reflects a truer picture of precious metals prices at the moment.

Notre Dame is up for a huge challenge starting 9:30 Tuesday night at Mackey Arena –- namely the Paris twins, two of the very best post players in the country.
That means the Irish will need big games out of Erica Williamson and Becca Bruszewski.
"We've got some big bodies we gotta take care of in the Oklahoma game," explains Coach Muffet McGraw. "Becca's going to be very important for us, as well as Mel and Erica. We're going to have to go bigger and use our body as much as we can, because they are just outstanding players."
Courtney Paris is the reigning National Player of the Year, averaging 19 points and 15 rebounds a contest. An even more impressive stat, she has 91 straight double-doubles. Her twin sister Ashley chips in with 11 points and 8 rebounds a game.
"The Paris twins are definitely outstanding basketball players," Williamson admits. "I'm just excited to be able to face that challenge and to be able to go up against two of the best players in the nation -- especially in the post -- and just show them what I'm made of, just kinda put up a fight and not back down."
"They're really going to challenge us inside in the post," explains Bruszewski. "We just have to box out, rebound, and keep going at them."
The Irish have confidence in going with a bigger lineup, thanks to the play of Bruszewski in the 1st round win over SMU. She scored 17 points and grabbed four rebounds in 27 minutes. That was 6 more minutes than the previous month combined, due to a broken finger.
"For a freshman to come in to the NCAA Tournament and have her career-high, I think it's something you don't expect," remarked McGraw. "She was so big that we actually went to her in a critical situation to score. She made a shot, she got some rebounds, got fouled. She did a nice job at the free throw line. She was outstanding."
If Becca and the rest of the Irish big players have a big game, the Irish could be headed to the Sweet 16.

BEIJING – A fire that raged for nearly 10 hours Saturday razed an ancient Tibetan town in southwest China that's popular with tourists, burning down hundreds of buildings as fire engines were unable to get onto the narrow streets, state media and witnesses said.
There was no immediate report of casualties, and the cause of the fire was unclear. State media, citing local authorities, said the blaze started in a guesthouse and was ruled accidental.
The fire broke out at 1:27 a.m. in the ancient Tibetan quarter of Dukezong, which dates back more than 1,000 years and is known for its preserved cobbled streets, ancient structures and Tibetan culture.
Once called Gyaitang Zong, the county in 2001 renamed itself Shangri-La, hoping to draw tourists by the reference to the mythical Himalayan land described in James Hilton's 1933 novel. Like hundreds of Chinese cities and counties, Shangri-La renovated its old neighborhood, Dukezong, turning it into a tourist attraction filled with shops and guesthouses.
The fire destroyed about 242 houses and shops in Dukezong, dislocated more than 2,600 people, and torched many historic artifacts, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Mexico thefts,
Gerdau Sidertul
MEXICO CITY The amount of steel stolen in Mexico fell 47 percent in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, according to Conadiac, Mexicos steel distributors confederation.
Rebar accounted for about 35 percent of the 2,639 tonnes of steel stolen from January through March in at least 15 Mexican states, or about half of the country.
Ternium México SA de CV was hit most by steel thieves, reporting 34 incidents in the first quarter, followed by Altos Hornos de México SAB de CV (12 thefts), ArcelorMittal México and Deacero SA de CV (nine each), Gerdau Sidertul (seven) and Talleres y Aceros SA de CV (three), Conadiac said.
Mexicos association of steelmakers, Canacero, said that two northern states, Coahuila and Nuevo León, have been working on strategies to combat steel theft. "Within this new impetus to the strategy, we implemented a program of best practices with our transporters, promoting and disseminating a series of preventive measures," the group said. There were no reports of steel thefts in Coahuila state during the first quarter vs. 15 in the first three months of last year.
A total of 454 thefts of 16,475 tonnes were reported in Mexico in all of last year, according to figures compiled by Canacero, vs. 309 steel thefts in 2010 and 312 in 2009.
