Fun facts: The first-ever Oscar ceremony, held in 1929, ran a brisk 15 minutes. By contrast, the longest was in 2002, clocking in at a monstrous 4 hours and change. As usual, there are things I loved about it and things I didn't. Rather than be snarky or complain, I'll offer a few suggestions on how the organizers might bring the show into the 21st century.
First, a few thoughts on the winners:
03/03/14 - 3:30pm
Athens-Clarke County police officers responded to Pinewood Estates North on a 911 call concerning a heated domestic dispute.
it reportedly was an argument over the lack of heat and food in a family's trailer and a woman was threatening to stab anyone who tried to take away her 7-month-old child.
State patrol responded also, from their post nearby on U.S. Highway 29 North.
The situation apparently was resolved. An officer reported he was driving the woman and infant to another home in Athens.
02/12/14 - 4:25pm
In the five years that I've been doing the Cinema File podcast for OnlineAthens, I've had the honor of meeting and speaking with several incredible people from the film world. Last Friday night, I interviewed Chaz Ebert, wife of the late Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert.
02/10/14 - 1:56pm
If you visit OnlineAthens.com or read the Athens Banner-Herald, you've probably noticed some of the changes we've made in the last month.
Included is a thorough evaluation of how we present our local stories on our websites and on mobile devices. In some cases, we aren't doing a good job getting the information we have to the places you're looking for it. In this case, it's the staff blogs.
02/06/14 - 1:09pm
North Oconee will make up its game against visiting Franklin County on Feb. 8, the school announced Friday.
The game, which was originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday, was postponed after school as canceled due to winter weather.
01/31/14 - 3:36pm
Area coaches didn't know what they'd find when their wrestlers reported for practice on Thursday. Days of bad weather and canceled practices were an unexpected curveball for coaches as they prepared their teams for traditional area tournaments to begin this weekend."I worry as much about their weight as I do their lack of wrestling," Clarke Central coach Tim Stoudenmire said. "At this point in the year, there's not a whole lot of learning going on in the practice room. It's maintaining, staying...
01/30/14 - 7:36pm
Athens Christian assistant coach David Landis will be inducted into Georgia's wrestling Hall of Fame in September.
"It's very humbling," Landis said.
Landis has coached for approximately 25 years, including head coaching stops at Mill Creek, Dacula, Central Gwinnett and Lakeside. He was also an assistant at Berkmar.
01/30/14 - 5:00pm
Jefferson and Commerce topped SCORE Atlanta's latest wrestling poll. Five area teams, including Clarke Central, Oconee County and Athens Christian, landed spots in the poll, which was released on Tuesday.
Jefferson topped the Class AA poll. The Dragons have won 13 consecutive state duals titles and will try to win their 14th traditional title in February.
Commerce topped the Class A poll after winning the school's first state wrestling title in nearly 25 years. The Tigers defeated Athens...
01/30/14 - 1:18pm
Athens Christian dropped out of SCORE Atlanta's latest basketball poll, which was released Monday.
Clarke Central and Jefferson remained ranked in the poll.
Athens Christian, ranked No. 9 in last week's poll, dropped out of the Class A after losing consecutive games to Pebblebrook and Johnson, Gainesville last week. The Eagles (15-4, 11-0 in Region 8-A) have five region games remaining before the region tournament begins on Feb. 11.
01/29/14 - 5:02pm
Schools that were hoping to make up Tuesday's postponed basketball games pushed makeup dates back further after school was canceled on Wednesday.
Apalachee and Oconee County had tentatively rescheduled games for Wednesday. Oconee County's game against Elbert County will be played on Saturday. Apalachee's game against Loganville is expected to be made up sometime next week, Apalachee coach Kevin Morris said Tuesday.
Oconee County coach Richard Wehunt preferred a Saturday makeup date.

The autumn is my favourite non-GS part of the tennis year. I just wish they brought all those indoor Euro tournaments back, though there are still a few knocking about.
The autumn is my favourite non-GS part of the tennis year. I just wish they brought all those indoor Euro tournaments back, though there are still a few knocking about.
Interestingly, from 2013, the ATP wiil be trying out a few new rules:
"No let" serve set for three-month trial on ATP Challenger Tour in 2013
NEW YORK — At its recent meetings in New York, the ATP Board of Directors approved a rule change and a trial for the 2013 season, both proposed by the new ATP Competition Committee.
From 2013, on both the ATP World Tour and ATP Challenger Tour, a time violation between points (25 seconds) will be penalised in the first instance with a warning. For the second and all subsequent violations, the penalty will be a fault for the server and a point penalty for the receiver. Currently, the rule is a warning and then point penalty for both the server and receiver.
"There's been a lot of discussion about the amount of time taken between points," said ATP Executive Chairman and President Brad Drewett. "We believe this modification will give officials a useful tool and allow for more consistent enforcement of the current time violation rule."
The ATP Board also approved a trial elimination of the service let on the ATP Challenger Tour only, for the first three months of 2013.
"Although this change will not materially reduce the length of a match, we believe it should have a positive impact on the flow of the match," said Drewett. "We're certainly not ready yet to eliminate the service let, but believe a trial at the ATP Challenger level will be a good way to test this initiative in a competitive environment and get feedback from players and the public before deciding if it could be adapted more broadly."

Quite interesting stat - Donna Vekic (Croatia) has reached the semi's of the tournament in Tashkent, her main draw WTA debut. She is 16 years old and is the youngest MD semi-finalist since Azarenka in 2005.... Perhaps one to look out for?
It will be an interesting battle for the year end #1 for men. Djokovic is approximately 1000 points ahead of Federer in the race points (points for only this year). Federer is generally the Worlds best indoor player. Murray is about 3000 points back of Djokovic and 2000 back of Federer so has virtually no chance barring Federer and Djokovic both getting injured and not playing anymore tournaments and Murray sweeping the entire fall season. Murray only has to win about 2 matches to supplant Nadal for the year end #3 though, since Nadal apparently isnt playing anymore this year. The Player of the Year awards for men will also be interesting and for once might not go to the Year end #1.
For the women Azarenka and Sharapova are also in a tight battle for the year end #1 with Azarenka about 500 points in the WTA race points for the year right now. Serena could get it if she plays alot and wins alot this fall but given her history this is unlikely her choice.
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi
One of the goss websites I go to state there is a woman tennis star who's voice is much lower that she rarely speaks or grunts anymore due to PED. I assumed it was Serena, since she was SOOOOO quiet. But she looks and sounds more feminine in years. Others say Schiavone, but hey that's obvious, and she's not really a 'star'.
In a very sad way, as much as I looked up to Marion Jones and respected her (and she did look feminine), I am waiting for the ball to drop dead on Serena. I was on Team V and S since 1994 (?) when they were first in Sports Illustrated. It was a crazy article. Richard Williams was convinced V would be number one in the world. But then stated that his younger daughter Serena had the potential to be even better, and that the two would reign on the professional tour. Everyone snickered. Guess what, Richard snickered in the 2000's. Even the phony Chrissie Evert/Lloyd/Mill/Norman (anyone else I've forgotten?) finally had to give S and V their props.
I will always be a supporter of Venus and Serena. For almost twenty years I have followed their humble beginnings and eventual successes. I'm from Texas and supported Lance Armstrong from the start, since he started in Plano.
I am a tad nervous about the drug testing.
I will not be ignored! -Me
Serena has had that build since she was a young teen.
I'm pretty sure they are talking about Stosur.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
Am I the only one who remembers the infamous catsuit?
Black men have huge appreciation for Serena.
Jamie Foxx serenades Serena with a song.
"My bronze feels like gold, said the bronze medalist Carolina Kostner
I just want Serena et al to be randomly tested throughout the year, like poor Kyoko Ina who had an uncomfortable experience at five in the morning.
As far as I am concerned since the anti-doping has emerged, if someone 'gets away' with it, so be it, it's the doping people's fault for not catching it. I'm still mightily depressed about Marion Jones, but so what. It really is hard to not imagine Serena Williams doing SOMETHING. Really, you see her in a bikini and she looks totes drag. And I'm her fan. But something is not quite cool in Denmark. As long as she gets away with it, I'm fine. But it reminds me of Steffi Graf who said for FOUR years she was only tested once and that was at the 88 Olys. She was world number one and eventually won the Grand Slam in 88, but the only time in four years she was tested was at Olys. That bothers me, but it seems WTA does not see this as a problem. Schiavone and Stosur are obviously "working out heavily", but Serena and Venus were once associated with Balk (?) that was associated with major PED usage.
I love V and S, don't get me wrong. I still feel, test Serena NOW, if she's clean, all her titles are clean. Same with V. No biggie, I'm not being racist, I just think something is up with Serena. But if she passed a US Open drug test, then that's good for me. Though it makes one wonder why she plays so few tournaments where she could be tested. It's easy to work out and then stay off the stuff for three weeks before a grand slam.... Just saying. I've always wondered why V and S hardly contributed to the tour and only showed up pumped and ready for the slams. Who knows. I'm very sad about Lance Armstrong, he's like 15 years past his peak and still is dogged with this.
I will not be ignored! -Me
I thought the players had to keep their schedules on record every day so that they could be drug tested at the drop of a hat. I've read interviews in which Serena and Nadal have said this is an imposition because they'd rather be able to change their minds about where they're going to go without logging it in.
At any rate, unless someone fails a test or a witness comes forward and says, "I saw so-and-so take PEDs," or "So-and-so told me they took PEDs," why speculate? Tennis is played successfully by men and women with a range of body types, tall and short, lanky and stocky, softer and ripped. I don't think someone should be subjected to reputation-damaging speculation because they look more muscular than most others, especially when they've always looked more or less that way.
Apparently Mouratoglou (Serena's new BF/coach) is married
And though I've never been much of a Serena fan, I'm glad she's chosen to play a lighter schedule. It's ensured her longer career.
I just read an article where the drug testing 'people' came to test Serena. She climbed into her panic room and called police. It was not said if she gave a urine specimen. My bet is she was SO SCARED from the doorknock that she couldn't pee, and told them to just come back in two or three weeks.
It made me wonder...
I will not be ignored! -Me
I get so tired of the doping speculation with Serena So she doesn't look like a pretty blonde skinny girl, it must mean she is doping! I know so many fit, black women who have Serena's body type, and they are all gorgeous and definitely don't dope.
It's just plain stupidity that anyone brings it up.
I hear ya though. Serena has a thick body type. Other than Venus all the women in the Williams family are thick or prone to be overweight. Serena has a voluptuous body type and if she does not work out she would blow up.
I've never thought she took enhancement drugs. Serena gains weight and her muscles turn to flabby after not exercising. That's natural.
Also, watching Serena play over the years, she does not have a "cheater" mentality. She's always been a very fair opponent.
"My bronze feels like gold, said the bronze medalist Carolina Kostner
That happened late October 2011. They say it's not known if she took the drug test, but it is known by now. Had she refused, she would have drawn a sanction of some kind because refusals are treated like positives.
If some random stranger showed up at my place before 6:00 AM, I would have freaked out, too!

For you data junkies, this is really cool. No big surprises here although as a Buffalo fan, I only know one person who is a cowboys fan. Everyone else are Steelers or Pats fans. I am sort of surprised that there aren't more Steelers fans in the DC area. I remember when the Steelers played a Monday night game against Washington, I saw a bunch of people walking out of our office building in Steelers jerseys.

Specially designed to meet the needs of people with bunion problems. Slip into a pair of Fidelios and never walk with bunion pain again!
Fidelio Hallux Fabia w/Heel Strap Bunion Relief 33-809 Women's Sandal
Features include:
This sandal is perfect, I wish I could wear all year long! The beige color goes with everything!
I've had bunions since the age of 42 and feared I would never be able to wear comfortable shoes until I found these! I purchased these in every color!!!
I would love to give this shoe a good review but I can't give a thumbs up. It is prettier than it appears in the picture, it appears to be lovingly constructed, it has a metatarsal pad and a bunion pad, and the color is nice. However, they are very hard to get used to. Out of the box the leather was very stiff, but it has softened up after a week of wearing them a little each day. I ordered a size 37 because they don't come in half sizes, but I am not a 6 or a 7; I am a 6 1/2. The arch isn't in the right place and my orthotics do not fit the shoe. Also, they don't come in widths, just medium. They claim this doesn't matter because they are fully adjustable, but that isn't true. Yes, there are three straps, but the back strap is a buckle closure and is either too loose or too tight. To keep the shoe on my foot I have to have the instep strap tight and that really hurts my instep. I also have to keep the toe strap tight which causes the underside of that strap to scrape the top of my foot. Not only that but the foot bed is still a medium and my right foot hangs over it on the right by my the little toe. I don't have really wide feet, just a size C. A person with a much wider foot couldn't attach the Velcro straps without the Velcro showing. I have to keep a band-aid on that toe to prevent rubbing. I am constantly reaching down and adjusting the shoe straps trying to make it more comfortable. Wearing socks helps some but this isn't very fashionable and defeats the purpose of a sandal. This shoe might be okay for someone who really wears a whole size and whose feet are medium width. I'm really sorry these shoes didn't work out for me. I wore them outside and can't return them so I am trying to get used to them, but I would not buy them again.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music. ~Ronald Reagan
So, there's this yellow toad wandering around in the forest kinda pissed off because he doesn't want to be yellow. Life would be easier if he were brown like the other toads. He'd sure be less visible to predators for one thing.
Anyway.... this yellow toad bumps into a fairy godmother. He begs her, "Fairy Godmother, please make me brown like the other toads. I am tired of being so visible to predators and such."
The fairy godmother whips out her magic wand and says "Abracapokus! You're brown!"
The toad looks down and sees that he is brown except for his package, which is still yellow. He says to the fairy godmother: "Wait a minute! My pecker's still yellow!"
To this the fairy godmother replies: "I don't do johnsons. You will have to go see The Wizard of Oz for that." The toad thanks her and hops off on his way.
There is also a purple bear wandering about the very same woods. As luck would have it, he encounters the same fairy godmother. He implores her: "Fairy godmother, please make me brown like the other bears. None of the lady bears want to be seen with me on account of the hunters can spot me from a mile off."
She, being a nice fairy godmother, takes out her magic wand and says: "Pokuscadabra! You're brown!"
The bear looks down and sees that he is, in fact, brown with the exception of the ole twig and berries, they remain purple. He says: "My wang is still purple!" She says: "I don't do units, you will have to go see The Wizard of Oz for that."
To this the bear replies: "Well that's just dandy, but how the hell do I find The Wizard of Oz?"
The fairy godmother answers: "That's easy . . . just follow the yellow dick Toad!"

19 Random Observations To Ponder
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font. :D
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my video collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I did not make any changes to.
14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever..
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than with Kay.
Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support
group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

Blonde Password...
During a recent password audit, management discovered a blonde was using the following password:

When they asked why such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include one capital.
Suddenly, a cow jumps out into the road, the limo hits it full on, and the
car comes to a stop.
Nancy , in her usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur, "You get out
and check--you were driving."
So the chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead - but
it was old.
"You were driving, so you go and tell the farmer," Nancy orders.
Two hours later,the chauffeur returns totally plastered, hair ruffled, and
with a big grin on his face.
"Good golly, what happened to you?" asks Nancy. The chauffeur replies,
"When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whiskey,
the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me."
"What on earth did you say to deserve all that?" asks Nancy.
The chauffeur replied: "Well, I just knocked on the door and when it opened I said to them,
"I'm Nancy Pelosi's chauffeur, and I've just killed the old cow."
"If the global crisis continues, by the end of the year Only two Banks will be operational, the Blood Bank and the Sperm Bank. Then these 2 banks will merge and it will be called 'The Bloody ****ing Bank'"
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!" He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife..
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you Remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pouring rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes," comes back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing," replied the drunk.

Sweet Tea
A woman goes to the doctor, beaten black and blue.
Doctor: "What happened?"
Woman: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk he beats me to a pulp."
Doctor: "I have a real good medicine for that. When your husband comes home drunk,
just take a glass of sweet tea and start swishing it in your mouth.
Just swish and swish but don't swallow until he goes to bed and is asleep."
Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.
Woman: "Doctor, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk,
I swished with sweet tea. I swished and swished, and he didn't touch me!"
Doctor: "You see how much keeping your mouth shut helps?"

My problem was I, and I mean I, had to have or say the last word and my wife wanted to have the same. We never drank since we met, but that still didn't stop us in the begining from having some doosies.

At the Saturday night tent revival the preacher announces,
"Anyone with 'needs' to be prayed over, come forward, to the front at the altar."
Leroy gets in line, and when it's his turn, the preacher asks:
"Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?"
Leroy replies: "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
The preacher puts one finger in Leroy's ear, and he places the other hand on top of
Leroy's head and prays and prays and prays, he prays a blue streak for Leroy.
After a few minutes, the Preacher removes his hands, stands back and asks,
"Leroy, how is your hearing now?"
Leroy says, "I don't know, Reverend, it ain't 'til next Wednesday!!"

Coyote problem
The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a "more humane" solution to this issue.
What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again.
This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U.S. Forest Service. All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally an old fellow in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said; "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here . . . these coyotes ain't screwin' our sheep . . . they're eatin' 'em!"
The meeting never really got back to order . .

It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero when the little blonde got off work at Wal-Mart. She made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to make it home. She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation. She finally remembered her daddy's advice that if she got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it. That way she would not get stuck in the snow drift. This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow plow went by and she started to follow it.
As she followed the snow plow she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions. After quite sometime had passed she was somewhat surprised when the snow plow stopped,the driver got out, came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snowplow driver wanted to know if she was all right, since she had been following him for a long time.
She said she was fine and told him her daddy's advice to follow a snow plow when caught in a blizzard. The driver replied that it was fine with him and she could continue if she wanted, but he was done with the Wal-Mart parking lot and was going over to Kmart next.

1. Go to a secondhand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads:
Bertha, Duke, Slim, & I went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour.
Don't mess with the pit bulls; they attacked the mailman this morning and
messed him up bad. I don't think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell
from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house.
Better wait outside. Be right back.
I went fishing this morning but after a short time I
ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog
in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his
mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the
frog, and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without
getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Makers Mark
and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes
rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake
without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was
that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.
Life is good in the South.

Polina K is so off,and I dislike the music its just awful,very boring..she already used that 2-3 years ago!I don't see a great season for her although I like her posture and her style the jumps are not there at all!
her LP was doing well until at the middle part with 3 consecutive mistakes after another
this LP is too Strong for her, she is a light skater
Black Swan is for strong skaters that can carry it like Asheley , Adelina , Yuna etc.
B&L's SP is lovely. I like that dress on her and imo, the jumps look better.
V&T: I wasn't feeling it. For an off ice couple, you'd think they'd be able to bring some heat to the performance, but no. They both look hot though.
Plushenko: It's gotten to the point where it doesn't matter what he's skating to or what he's wearing. I'm just riveted. Love him.
Sotnikova LP: After reading all of the griping over it I was expecting something completely horrific, but it's not bad at all. I really liked the the program.
I think I'm on the verge of becoming an S/K uber. Both programs are fab. I hope they pass B/L this year. Actually, what I'd really like is for both of them to pass Kavaguti & Smirnov, but I doubt that will happen.
Ok I love B&S free dance. I don't know why, but it speaks to me.
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
B/S FD should be better without the crazy cut, but it's not en par with say W/P's FD last year, so no Worlds medal chance really. It's weird, I feel like this program probably works better with I/K or even S/Z. Both B and S's lack of attractiveness is a problem.
I don't know. P/G looks better, more together to me despite being slower. They've gone far. I won't be surprised if they pass R/T if they progress. R/T's FD is so boring.
I guess I totally slept through the fact that V/T are now an off-ice couple. what did Kwan retire too or is Irina pregnant?
I unexpectedly really love Leonovas SP and think she looks better than ever. she sure is a fighter, I think she will be one of the contenders for the world title this year if the jumps come along this season. This is going to be an exciting and very unpredictable ladies season!
I know this is a bit of a taboo, but Vera poor girl looks worse than ever. Someone needs to step in and help her. Whether it's an ED or some other health problems, it's not natural. She looks seriously ill.

Samadhi DVD
A look at some yogis' death-defying abilities
Samadhi, which means death in Hindi, refers to the "virtual death" experienced by yogis when they enter a state of suspended animation. These men and women from the Himalayas can be buried alive, enclosed in airtight glass blocks or remain underwater for days on end. Even without air, water, food or the ability to move – and while enduring extreme temperatures – the yogis emerge unscathed. Director/writer/photographer/producer team Andre and Jessica Vaillancourt had the privilege to be invited to film the Samadhi event at a Kumbh Mela gathering. This DVD is the first comprehensive documentary produced on the subject of Samadhi. It delves into the true mechanics of life itself and challenges the boundaries of our pre-existing concepts. Filmed in Dewas, Nainital and Allahabad in India and in Berkeley, CA, this film is an intimate look at an ancient, secret practice that is now being revealed. 95 minutes.

The Dared arrived today! It didn't ship with a rectifier tube (seller broke it during packaging) so I had to pick up a temporary one from a guitar shop nearby which ended up being a blessing because it was one of the only places that carried a 5Y3 and it was 10 minutes away. It's' a Sovtek 5Y3GT tube made in Russia (know nothing about tubes yet, so I'm not sure where this stands as far as sonics go in the audiophile tube world). It shipped with the stock signal tubes.
I have a few things to run by you guys. The remote control does not work properly. Pressing the volume up button turns the Dared down. The volume down button does nothing. I'm hoping this is a weak battery issue?
Next thing is hum. I'm definitely getting some hum from the speakers with or with out music playing. Is this normal with tube preamps?
Thanks in advanced for the help!

iPhone 5, Lightning connector don't list video-out support, promote AirPlay and an Apple TV instead
Apple's old 30-pin iPod connector carried a lot of legacy support through the years, but it also was a capable, if chunky, connection. Those 30 pins could handle a whole hell of a lot, including serial, line-in, and component and composite video. With the switch to the new 8-pin Lightning connector on the iPhone 5, new iPod Nano, and new iPod Touch, some notable benefits were achieved, including a full digital pipe, a fully-reversible design, and a much smaller footprint. But some things might have been lost, like video out.
For the iPhone 4S, Apple's tech specs lists under TV and Video that the smartphone supports AirPlay streaming to an Apple TV, 1080p mirroring and video out over the Apple Digital AV Adapter (Apple's 30-pin-to-HDMI joiner), 480p/576p with the Apple Component AV Cable (RGB plus stereo audio, since discontinued in favor of the HDMI adapter), and 480i/576i with the Apple Composite AV Cable (yellow video, stereo audio).
For the iPhone 5, there's AirPlay. You can stream 1080p video to a third generation Apple TV (which supports 1080p) or 720p video to the second generation little black box (which doesn't support 1080p), and you can mirror your iPhone 5 to either black streaming box at 720p. For what it's worth, 720p at 720x1280 pixels is close to the iPhone 5's turned-sideways screen resolution of 1136x640. Either way it would have to be scaled up to 1080p, so broadcasting the mirroring at 720p offloads that upscaling processing to the external display instead of the iPhone, saving precious battery life, preserving Wi-Fi bandwidth, and keeping that A6 processor a bit cooler.
In case you're wondering if you might be able to get video out working on a soon-to-be-yours iPhone 5 with the Lightning-to-30-pin adapter or cable, don't hold your breath. Both adapters state video out functionality is not supported.
There are two possibilities here. Either physical video out has gone the way of the floppy with the Lightning connector, or Apple will at some point make break-out cables that translate the Lightning digital signal into HDMI, VGA, and older formats.
If hard line video out is gone, in a way it makes sense. Apple's charging forward with wireless streaming, but it's frustrating for anybody who regularly uses the adapter to display what's on your device on a bigger display without the need for a wireless network. Any presentation-giving road warrior that got used to just plugging their iPhone or iPad into a projector or HDTV via an adapter in the boardroom they're visiting will be facing a future of carrying around an Apple TV, HDMI cable, and an Airport Express just to get video off an iPhone 5 (and presumably future iPads) and onto that bigger screen.
If Apple is planning to release breakout cables, like they have for Thunderbolt on the Mac, let's hope they do it soon. Let's also hope Apple's planning to license AirPlay video streaming to display and projector manufacturers, and including Wi-Fi Direct coupling capability so one can hook up to them without a wireless network present. If not, the Lightning connector just made mobile presentation life a lot more difficult.

what did apple use for their presentations for that iPhone 5 yesterday?
The iPhone5 they were demoing had a cord plugged into the phone and the phone was shown on the screen. If they were using air play why would they need that cord. I think an HDMI adapter is coming and they had one at the presentation.
I think the point the article is making, is that regardless of whether it's *possible* to get video out of the connector, it's more about whether it's supported and whether cables will exist.
Here we go putting the cart before the horse. Can we wait until the phone has been released before making such assertions. After all, Apple also has an adapter for the connector. Who's to say video-out isn't supported that way?
Derek, Not to be picky but your title needs the word "don't" replaced with "doesn't". This is the correct grammar.
This sucks BIG time! I use me iPad --> HDMI via the apple connector to watch movies on my big TV. This is also true when traveling (easy to connect hotel TV to my iPad) or even going over to a friends house who does not have an Apple TV. Sorry to say, but not everyone has Apple devices.. If the new iPad (or the current iPhone 5) truely doesn't support HDMI via cables, this is a problem for me. Does this mean I need to buy & carry an Apple TV with me where ever I go? Rediculous!
I'm a university professor, and have started using an iPad connected to a projector instead of a chalkboard in some of my classes. I don't like being tethered by the 30pin->VGA adapter (our classroom projectors mostly don't have HDMI in yet); but our campus wifi network doesn't support multicast, which you need for AirPlay w/ Apple TV (and we're not supposed to plug in e.g. Airport Expresses or other devices to make our own local wifi networks). So I'm stuck using a cable for now. Hopefully Apple will continue to support a way to connect iOS devices (or at least iPads) to older projectors.
It's not like there's another universal standard for phone connectors with HDMI-out, or anything... oh, wait!
*cough* Micro USB *cough*
This is frikken BS!!!!! I currently use my Iphone to connect to my navi unit in my truck via the navtool adapter that connects to my nav unit(Jeep) and then to an Avio composite a/v wire that plugs in to my iphone via 30 pin connector. I then have a Vulkano streamer at home and I am able to watch TV in my Jeep. Change channels and more. I was looking forward to I5 because of 4G. 3G is too choppy. And now I see this!!! Oh boy! Was just going to buy the I5 because of 4G but now I cant connect to my Jeep. Now I have to wait until they come out with an aftermarket wire that supports it and an app like DisplayOut (jailbreak) which I currently use now. If this is the case that it won't support it at all, then they just lost a sale. I would rather switch to Sammy GS3 and use hdmi to composite converter to keep that feature.
I know technology must move forward, but many cars/vans/trucks have composite video and audio and no A2DP. I stream in my car every day... I really wouldn't consider any of the new devices until composite video support is available.
Discussion ends here.... VGA and HDMI support for lightning is available.
What's worse is that once you update your iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4th Gen, iPad 2 or iPad 3 to iOS 6, it cripples the video-out capabilities of the 30-pin connector - i.e. AV Composite cable will not work anymore :(

These subwoofers are very different in design and I am wondering what I would benefit more from. The Velo is much smaller, sealed and is servo controlled. The HSU is twice the weight and ported.
The HSU seems to get very good ratings, but I've also heard good things of the velodyne servo subwoofers. The velodyne also looks similar to the other speakers in my system, while the HSU is quite ugly.
I use my system for music, movies and games. Until recently, I didn't really do movies or games... but that is where I really noticed that my lack of a subwoofer hurts the system.
I would like a sub that sounds good with the 25's in music, but excels in movies and games. Which one would be better? These are both around $525.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Crescent Not 'True to size' I ordered a 3XL, however it fits more like a XL. I dread the fact that i will have to wash/dry-clean it soon; because I'm sure that it will shrink even smaller, deeming it unwearable thereafter. June 28, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Soon to Be Married Man Lovely The clothing is beautiful and affordable. Win-win! May 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by mkjcrew slim fit The term ' modern fit' means nothlng to me or anyone I've asked ,and I've asked everyone I meet on the street. Had you represented this shirt as ' smaller by one size' or ' tailored slim fit' I would understood it's peculair fit. I had to return it (them) for the next size larger . I am still awaiting the shirts and my refund.I figure that the shirts will cost me about 40% more due to the unique policies of this company. At others stores on line purchases /returns are simple and the customer is not forced to pay twice for a miss labled product. Thanks for the experience ,I'll keep spreading the cautionary word about my experience with Cubaera/ May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jamaicaboy Great Beach Shirt Bought this shirt for "white" night in Jamaica, it is cool, light weight material and has a nice embellishment around the collar and front opening. The shipping was so fast, I was very impressed. May 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by fizz Awesome i'm of Indian descent and was looking locally for something like this manufactured by East Indians however I found this ad online with their sale and couldn't resist so I tried and am VERY pleased and happy with my purchase, price, quality and style is fantastic. I bought 2 styles, haven't washed yet so I couldn't comment on that. May 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sloan Buy A Size Larger Than What You Want This "New Cotton" is not the same cotton that was used before. It is very thin and shrinks in the washer using cold water...What a disappointment.. May 5, 2013


text: So here is the deal. I came across an almost new pair of MMG's for sale locally for cheap. They are going to be used to replace the factory TV speakers in my living room. I have drawn way back from the rabbit hole these days and lean more toward saving money. And tend to be happy with what ever. That being said. I need a cheap sub that will blend well and something cheap to power them. I need to be able to run my Xbox and Blu Ray player through what ever is powering them. Ideally with HDMI cables. I'm just looking for a cheap but decent sounding 2.1 setup for movies, TV and gaming in the Living room. Any ideas? With a $300 cap? The maggies are $200. So That would put me at $500 total for the system. If I can't do it for that or less. I'll just pass on the maggies for now and be happy with the TV speakers. Any help is appreciated.

If you think voting is a waste of time – then think again.
It is the people, who by exercising their right to vote, elect local, state and federal officials, including the President and thus push forward policies that loom large on the town, your job, your taxes, your health care, your children's education and hence the future of this nation itself. Elections are the cornerstones of our democracy and, in fact, voting is the process to form a healthier democracy that then is able to facilitate the most vital want of our life – happiness.
Think again - about people in far off countries who are unable to give their voting opinion because they live under a dictatorship or are crushed by a war or are fearful of terrorism or are steeped in backwardness. This voting right bestowed in you is a special privilege and to render a careful judgment is your responsibility. So think again and vote in honor of those who can't and by doing so put the
right person in charge who represents your needs and concerns.
Leaving aside the third world nations, where votes are bought with tons of money or are denied wholesale, the United States can boast of conducting the most free and fair elections in the developed world. Still, only about 50 percent of eligible voters participate in the presidential election; the figures are much lower for local and state elections. This low participation may have to do with voting rights history.
Black American males gained voting rights five years after the end of the Civil War; the 15th Amendment established those rights in 1870. Rights for voting by women came much later in 1920 when the 19th Amendment was enacted. As a result of these two amendments, Election Day is the one day each year when those who vote - whites, blacks, young, old, women, and all minorities - is treated equal, except for felons who are still denied voting right in some states.
Lately that bright city we call America has been losing its brightness and luster as it desperately tries to slip out of the deadly recessionary hold it finds itself in. Your vote will decide whether or not America will break that stranglehold and be restored, once again, as the shiniest city on the hill.
The two men fighting to occupy the Oval Office are starkly different and the nation will steer much differently depending on who takes over the country's reins for the next four years. Remember Al Gore and Florida in 2000 presidential election. Had Gore been the President instead of George W. Bush – we would, with good certainty, not have invaded Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein and thus avoided putting America in the financial mess we are in. This is the one most important reason why we must choose the right person in the next election.
All the debate battles are over, but the mother of all battles - the battle of the ballots, on Nov. 6 - is just ahead and your one vote will matter since Gore lost in Florida by fewer than 600 votes. Even fewer overall votes have decided many local and state elections.
Your one vote counts more this time around than at any other time and letting it go to waste could prove to be very costly for your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Statistics show younger voters are more likely to shun voting, but then they are the ones who have the most to gain and lose simply because they have to live with the outcome of any election longer than anyone else.
My conscience tells me to select the candidate with whom we stand a better chance to fix the issues pertaining to jobs and economy, fiscal cliff, budget imbalance, higher taxes, unaffordable Obama-care, over-regulation, trade restrictions and oil dependency.
For us, Mitt Romney is that candidate who we believe is capable of solving all these problems and more by virtue of his successful business experience and state governance. And thus, discarding our indecision – we will vote for Romney, who looked much more presidential in the third debate than President Barack Obama, both in demeanor and his vision for America's future.
You must vote too for the good of the country since a more diverse opinion is rendered when a higher percentage of people participate. Now if you don't vote – you will have no right to complain. Instead, you must bear the consequences of giving up your franchise and being irresponsible. It is not simply a matter of responsibility; suffrage is the source of real power behind politicians who falsely think they wield the rod by making the rules and laws (e.g. taxes). But they don't, your vote does.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said: "The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men."
So vote and feel the rush of power you have but are unaware of it.
Independents Dave and Nita Anand are decided and will vote for Romney.
