When it comes to science fiction, space is always presented as a pretty action oriented place, from space battles to asteroid fields to roaming cannibals (you thought I was going to get through that without a Firefly reference? Silly you, you thought wrong). But from way down here where the majority of us are standing it is nothing but a whole bunch of blackness with a twinkle here and there. Nothing but calm. That same calm usually works its way into these space adventures, but it is in games like Dead Space 2 that this calm is something that should be feared the most, because it is in these moments that something is most likely about to go terribly wrong.
Years following the events of the first game, we find protagonist Isaac Clark wrapped tightly in a straight jacket in a hospital on one of Saturn's moons. Suffering from the mental degradation of dementia, he is still tormented by the loss of his girlfriend who likes to come to him in rather disturbing hallucinations. But she is not alone as a constant memory of the past because somewhere in this city is another Marker, bringing with it yet another onslaught of the reanimated corpses that have been changed into necromorphs, violent creatures who are out to spread the love.
As Isaac sits in the hospital wing waiting for his arms to be released from his restraints a necromorph rather rudely makes his presence known by plunging an arm (?) through the orderly's face, kicking me into fight or flight mode. With his arms still tied to his abdomen only one option is really available and we are forced to run for our lives as chaos erupts around us. I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who would rather take these monsters head on with a gun from the get go, but I think that this was an extremely effective start to the game in creating terror and panic. I am not here to be a hero, I am here to survive, and I will run like the wind for as long as it takes.
Eventually Isaac does free his arms and retrieves a gun in order to become more offensive in his journey throughout the station, and though I cannot speak to the controls of the first game and whether or not they have been improved on, they are smooth enough here for those of us running on instinct. The one complaint is that the hints that accompany the gameplay come a little sporadically and could have been used earlier during the gameplay. One example of this is that I wasn't told until an hour in that the crates I have been seeing littering the area could be stomped on for prizes. An amateur mistake I know, especially considering this isn't a new concept to games, but this wasn't something I assumed was possible considering I didn't have the knowledge of the first game to go on.
With that minor gripe aside in concern to hints on how to use the controls, the controls themselves are well mapped to the controller and are easy enough to use throughout the game. One key thing to note is the ease of use and aim of Isaac's arsenal. In order to take down the advancing necromorphs, quick and accurate aiming is required since unloaded a barrage of bullets into their mass won't do the trick. Instead more precise shots are needed to amputate limbs off of the creatures, and though this seems like a challenging thing to do it is actually not too bad. But if the arms flailing about still give you some problems it always helps to scream "DANCE MONKEY DANCE!" as you shoot at their legs, cutting them off at the knees. A crawling enemy is still dangerous, but much slower to bring about your death.
This is just the basic side to Isaac's fighting style. As you progress through the game additional weapons will be made available that go about killing in a range of ways. Like to give the necromorphs a taste of their own medicine but don't want to use one of their own limbs to do so (poetic, but not always the easiest option)? There is a gun for that. Just simply line up your shot and your kabob will be ready in seconds (electrocution option for those who like their meals well cooked). Leaning more towards a pyromaniac lifestyle? There is a gun for that. Want to set up motion detonating bombs so that the necromorphs will explode at a safe distance? There is a gun for that. Point is there is a large variation of ways to bring down the hoards, including primary and secondary options for each gun, all with satisfying results. Just be sure to level the damage, capacity, and reload times up on your favorites because being caught with an empty barrel can lead to a heap of trouble.
Even with the effectiveness of the gunplay there is never a moment in which my prowess leads me to a feeling a safety no matter how many tactics I tried to combat my fear, and often my spinelessness led to even more problems. Having someone talk to you over the phone just distracts you from what you should be paying attention to (as well as just gives them plenty of fodder to make fun of you with as you hyperventilate and scream like no one should in their life). Turning the volume down just keeps you from hearing Jason Graves' beautiful soundtrack and makes it more likely to miss the audible clues of the immanent danger of sneaky little buggers breathing down your neck. Sure you would think walking with your back against the wall would help this problem (which I did for the majority of the game), but they don't really allow walls to stop them from their assaults as they often jump through them in a surprising fashion.
No matter what I tried I could not overcome the effectiveness of the design of the game. On their own a necromorph running at you is scary enough (they fall somewhere in between an enraged orangutan and ET running through the closet with his arms raised), but the aesthetics are what really do this game justice. Every once in a while you will be able to look out into space or out into the rest of the city, but for the most part the game keeps pretty confined to throw in claustrophobia. With that said the linear level design never feels worn, and though the majority of it is covered in splashes of blood or dead bodies it never feels like you are walking through the same corridors over and over again, especially when dementia moments are added in to really make things interesting. Similar to Alan Wake, which is the only other horror game I have to compare this to, the use of lighting and shadow is fantastic in its use, both in looks alone and how different a game plays when you must rely on a flashlight to see around a room. As I just mentioned the music adds another level all on its own, but there are also the in-game sounds, ranging from a cup that I accidentally kicked when going through an eating area to a crying baby. Heck, the lack of noise is just as bad as hearing something roll across the floor in the distance.
Believe it or not it is possible to get used to these creatures and their tactics as the game continues, so there are plenty of ways in which the game evolves to keep things fresh. Often you will find yourself in space with your oxygen running low, hanging upside down with your leg keeping you in the air at the center of a room, trapped with a door that won't open at your back due to a power failure, and more often than not it may be something as simple as running low on health packs. Let's just say that the first time I got a large health pack I turned into Gollum with his ring, but I quickly learned I wasn't going to be able to be stingy considering I had to use it two seconds later anyway. Plus, new types of baddies are always popping up, and though it takes a demented mind to choose to use babies and children as weapons in a game, they sure are terrifying. From small scale to large, easily dispatched to the terminator, the classes of baddies will keep you on your toes and provide plenty of incredibly gory, albeit awesome, cinematic deaths. While playing through normal there are plenty of checkpoints littered throughout the game, but there are still moments in which death means frustratingly getting pushed back further than you would like, so don't become too willing to try and witness them all.
Though I may not be the best judge of this, in my personal opinion Dead Space 2 has done everything almost perfectly to create a terrifying experience for the player, including look, gameplay, sound, enemies, etc, making it easy to recommend this to anyone who likes to be scared. And with the "New Game +" option you can go back in with the weapons and suits of your previous playthrough. Just be sure to go to the bathroom first.
Final Grade: 9/10
PS – Seeing as I am not big on multiplayer I don't really have a lot to say about this aspect of the game. With that said I did give it a try and could say that though I would rather just stick to the campaign, it is pretty fun playing on teams of security vs. necromorphs. And I don't know why, but there is a certain level of joy that can only be attained by running around as a toddler and jumping on people's backs.
Dead Space 2 is available on the XBOX 360, PS3, and PC. Visit the official game site at http://deadspace.ea.com/

IMF's latest Finance and Development (Sep-12) issue is out. As always terrific articles (wish most papers could be as short and precise).
In its people section, we have profile of Justin Lin ex-chief econ of World Bank. The title is " The Man with the Patience to Cook a Stone". As always an amazing read.
How did Lin become a top econ? Because of his translation skills:
His admission to the citadel of free-market thinking was another example of the happy good fortune that has periodically blessed his existence. Within a year of his arrival in China, by dint of his English language skills learned in Taiwan, Lin was recruited as a translator for visiting economist Theodore Schultz. Schultz had, that year, been awarded the Nobel Prize for economics for his pioneering research into the problems faced by developing countries.
So impressed was Schultz with his young interpreter—who was by then studying Marxist economics at Peking University—that on his return to his teaching post at the University of Chicago, Schultz offered to arrange a scholarship for the young Lin.
How long did Lin spend with the top economist to have elicited such a generous offer? Just one day, "but I was a very impressive translator," says Lin. His smile does not waver. Schultz had a reputation for intuitively identifying young talents, having mentored Nobel laureate George Stigler and a former president of the American Economic Association, D. Gale Johnson, for example.
Once enrolled at Chicago, the young Lin embarked on a Ph.D. in economics. He was later joined by his wife, Chen Yunying, and two children. While Lin studied for his Ph.D., and then went on to Yale as a postdoctoral student, his wife earned a Ph.D. at George Washington University.
And how did he acquire those skills? Via his military training in Taiwan from where he famously escaped:
Lin's modest background—he was born one of six children into a poor family in Yilan County, northeastern Taiwan Province of China, in 1952—may distinguish him from his predecessors, but undoubtedly he is the only World Bank chief economist with an arrest warrant hanging over his head.
In 1979, the 26-year-old, who then went by the name Lin Zhengyi, a model officer in the Taiwanese army stationed on the politically sensitive island of Kinmen, decided to swim across the 2,000-meter tidal strait to the Communist-controlled mainland to start a new life.
Following his disappearance, the Taiwanese authorities who declared him "missing" compensated his wife with the equivalent of more than $30,000; much later, they charged him with desertion.
Ask Lin about his decision today and the economist bats away further inquiries—the only time during the whole interview his ever-present smile freezes and he betrays a hint of irritation. Lin left behind his three-year-old son and wife, Chen Yunying, who was then pregnant with their daughter.
Asked about his wife's reaction to his defection, Lin says,"She supported me. As long as I am happy, she is happy.""So did you tell your wife you were going to leave?"
The profile also discusses his work on new structural economics which is basically using industrial policy based on comparative advanatage:
A key tenet of his "new framework for development" is the critical role of government in supporting selected industries in order to trigger structural transformation. This practice, often colloquially referred to as "picking winners and losers," or industrial policy, has had a checkered history, but in the aftermath of the financial crisis has been enjoying something of a revival.
The leading criticism remains that the government's imperfect judgment and distorted interests displace the cold, clear decisions of the market. For example, Japan's much-lauded Ministry of Trade and Industry once opposed the plans of domestic car manufacturers to export and tried to prevent Honda expanding from motorbikes into cars because it did not want another company in the industry.
To avoid such mistakes, the secret of success, suggests Lin, is identifying industries appropriate for a given country's endowment structure and level of development. He points to Chile, for example, which moved from basic industries such as mining, forestry, fishing, and agriculture, to aluminum smelting, salmon farming, and winemaking, with the backing of the government. Lin says, in the past, industrial policy often failed because government tried to impose the development of industries that were ill-suited to the country's endowment. That is, they "defied" their comparative advantage.

August, 1962
Mae Mobley was born on a early Sunday morning in August,
1960. A church baby we like to call it. Taking care a white
babies, that's what I do, along with all the cooking and the
cleaning. I done raised seventeen kids in my lifetime. I know
how to get them babies to sleep, stop crying, and go in the
toilet bowl before they Mamas even get out a bed in the morning.
But I ain't never seen a baby yell like Mae Mobley Leefolt.
First day I walk in the door, there she be, red-hot and hollering
with the colic, fighting that bottle like it's a rotten turnip.
Miss Leefolt, she look terrified a her own child. "What am I
doing wrong? Why can't I stop it?"
It? That was my first hint: something is wrong with this
So I took that pink, screaming baby in my arms. Bounced
her on my hip to get the gas moving and it didn't take two
minutes fore Baby Girl stopped her crying, got to smiling up at
me like she do. But Miss Leefolt, she don't pick up her own baby
for the rest a the day. I seen plenty a womens get the baby
blues after they done birthing. I reckon I thought that's what
it was.
Here's something about Miss Leefolt: she not just frowning
all the time, she skinny. Her legs is so spindly, she look like
she done growed em last week. Twenty-three-years-old and she
lanky as a fourteen-year-old boy. Even her hair is thin, brown,
see-through. She try to tease it up, but it only make it look
thinner. Her face be the same shape as that red devil on the
redhot candy box, pointy chin and all. Fact, her whole body be
so full a sharp knobs and corners, it's no wonder she can't
soothe that baby. Babies like fat. Like to bury they face up in
you armpit and go to sleep. They like big fat legs too. That I
By the time she a year old, Mae Mobley following me around ever where I go. Five o'clock would come round and she'd be hanging on my Doctor Scholl shoe, dragging over the floor, crying like I weren't never coming back. Miss Leefolt, she'd narrow up her eyes at me like I done something wrong, unhitch that crying baby off my foot. I reckon that's the risk you run, letting somebody else raise you chilluns.
Mae Mobley two years old now. She got big brown eyes and
honey color curls. But the bald spot in the back of her hair
kind a throw things off. She get the same wrinkle between her
eyebrows when she worried, like her Mama. They kind a favor
except Mae Mobley so fat. She ain't gone be no beauty queen. I
think it bother Miss Leefolt, but Mae Mobley my special baby.
***************** *****************
I lost my own boy, Treelore, right before I started waiting
on Miss Leefolt. He was twenty-four years old. The best part of
a person's life. It just wasn't enough time living in this

Once in a blue moon, a book comes along from out of nowhere and takes the book-loving community by storm. The Help is such a book. Written by first-time novelist Kathryn Stockett, it takes us to 1962 Jackson, Mississippi—at the height of the civil rights movement—and into the lives of three women unwilling to be trapped by their race or gender.
Aibileen is a black maid—a wise, regal woman working as a nanny to her 17th white child while still bereft by her son's death. Her best friend Minny is the sassiest woman in town—she can cook like nobody's business, but she has a mouth on her that keeps getting her fired. And then there's Skeeter, a white woman who comes back from college with a degree…but, to her mother's chagrin, no ring. Seemingly as different as can be, these three women forge a unique bond, joining forces in a clandestine project that puts them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times...and sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women who would change their town forever. Heartfelt, poignant and wise, this is a masterful debut.
"I know a novel is a winner when I just can't bring myself to put the book down. I fell in love with Aibileen, Minny, and Skeeter, and quickly became completely engrossed by the lives so beautifully and heartbreakingly described within these pages. This is a magical read."—Deborah Sinclaire, Editor-in-Chief, Book-of-the-Month Club
"This incredible rendering of a period rich with tragedy and promise personalizes the South in the 1960s like no novel before it. A watershed debut."Jennifer Hufford-Varrone, Senior Editor, Doubleday Large Print Book Club
"The Help illuminates how far we've come as a nation. The author skillfully depicts how even against a backdrop of ugly social history, women of all classes and races find a way to bond and prevail. You will be completely captivated by this novel."—Christine Zika, Editor-in-Chief, Literary Guild
"The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a story that made me weep as I rejoiced for each of humanity's small but steady triumphs over hate and fear. I will never forget this wonderful book."—Dorothea Benton Frank
"I love The Help. Kathryn Stockett has given us glorious characters and a powerful, truth-filled story. Aibileen, Minny and Skeeter show that people from this troubled time came together despite their differences and that ordinary women can be heroic."—Jill Conner Browne, author of The Sweet Potato Queens series
"Lush, original and poignant, Kathryn Stockett has written a wondrous novel set in the deep south told through the authentic voices of Aibileen, Minnie and Skeeter.... You will be swept away as they work, play and love during a time when possibilities for women were few but their dreams of the future were limitless. A glorious read."—Adriana Trigiani, author of The Big Stone Gap series
"A magical novel. Heartbreaking and oh so true, the voices of these characters, their lives and struggles will stay with you long after you reluctantly come to the end."—Robert Hicks, author The Widow of the South

Such an exceptional book. You see the story through the eyes of the black maids during the time of extreme segregation. The characters seem so real and the plot is so amazing. I can't put it down. For a first book of this author I rate it #1!! A must read.

A year after the death of its leader, al Qaeda is widely unpopular among Muslim publics. A new poll by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project, conducted March 19 to April 13, 2012, finds majorities – and mostly large majorities – expressing negative views of the terrorist group in Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey and Lebanon.
In Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals, 13% of Muslims hold a favorable view of al Qaeda, 55% an unfavorable view, and roughly three-in-ten (31%) offer no opinion.
Support for the organization is in the single digits among Turkish and Lebanese Muslims. In Jordan, just 15% express a positive opinion, essentially unchanged from last year, but down significantly from 34% in 2010. Al Qaeda receives its highest ratings in Egypt, where 21% hold a favorable and 71% an unfavorable opinion.

My coach is from Poland and basically trains me in the Bulgarian method, lots of singles at maximum weight. It's hell on your body at first, but your body adapts. I haven't done a power clean or snatch in years; my coach drills into my head that an efficient lift is the lowest you can pull the bar and still get underneath it. I agree with the prior poster that a full squat, properly done is easier on the knees. Only by doing a full squat do you actually disengage the muscle for a split second and then re-engage, training your fast twitch muscle fibers for maximal power. Even masters lifters can have speed and flexibility if you work on it slowly and carefully.

Good topic, good discussion. I'll throw in a few thoughts based on personal experience.
I'm 35, been training for 22 years and competing for 19. I just started competing in the masters this year and things are going really well so far.
Bodyweight- I'm a +105. I weighed about 122 when I did my biggest lifts (9-10 years ago) and I weigh about 118 now. I dropped down to 110 last year and tried training there and it was a disaster. My strength level dropped in the toilet and my body didn't feel any better in terms of joint pain, soreness, etc. In fact, I actually had more little muscle pulls and strains when I was lighter. Most of the older lifters I've known like to stay heavier as opposed to lighter. Tony Urrutia was able to lift huge weights until he was close to 40 because he let his bodyweight go up slowly. But if health reasons make it more sensible for some individuals to drop weight, then go for it. This is all just for fun, anyway.
Training- I train twice a week now. Sometimes, if my schedule permits, I'll train three times a week but that third workout is extremely light and easy. Training twice a week, at my age and with my work schedule (60-70 hours a week, mostly on my feet) really works. My joints feel great, injuries are very rare, and I'm able to stay "relatively" strong. I'm sure I'd be lifting more if I trained 3 times a week with some recovery time. But with my career demands, it's just not possible.
Intensity- I build up to big weights slowly and don't attempt big lifts in training until the 3-4 weeks before a competition. This is much different than how I (and my whole team, Calpians) trained back in the day. We rarely had workouts where we weren't within 10-15 kilos of our personal best lifts. And it worked because we were all young and healthy. Now, I spend a lot of time building a strength base and I don't go crazy in training. So far, so good.
Overall, I think the key to training successfully when you're older is using some creative thinking in your approach. You have to understand the limits of your body. You can't be afraid to back off when you're hurt (the rest will always do you good anyway). And you have to look at your life and figure out how to train well within the confines of your schedule, physical capabilities, family demands, etc. If you love being a weightlifter, figure out a way to keep doing it for a long time without killing yourself.

In my experience, squatting deep on a regular basis makes my knees feel great. I'll "never" stop squatting "*ss to grass". However, a steady diet of full squat cleans makes my knees a little achy. I can only speculate why. But, I now do more power cleans in my training. By the way, I think power cleans get a bad rap because of "football power cleans". A clean can be properly executed up to the catch phase and then caught in a squat or an upright stance. Also, I've always thought power cleans and snatches were good drills for completing your second pull.
Because of shoulder problems I now split snatch. I am concerned about imbalances created by always splitting the same foot forward. What do people think of doing some amount of my snatches splitting with the "other" foot forward? Good idea, bad idea, is there some other way to address the imbalances problem?

hello everyone, i,m a 17 year old young buck, who,s been training for 6 years now, my small experience shows me that a heavier weight class brings heavier lifts and those really work on knees, I know that they worked for sure on mine ! went up from 69 to 77 two years ago and added 80 kg to my total, and 60 to my back squat. I am the proud and happy owner of tendinidis in both of my knees. I can,t wait to be 40 ! :grin:

Football Insider: Sycamore banged up heading into playoffs
Not much went wrong for Sycamore during its 44-0 victory over Yorkville in Week 9. But going into the postseason, a couple of key Spartans are a little banged up.
Senior wide receiver David Compher left Friday's game during the first half with a head injury. Compher was dinged up after making his only catch of the game, a 35-yard completion from junior QB Devin Mottet.
"We wanted to be cautious and take him out," said Sycamore coach Joe Ryan after Friday's win. "We'll have to see. I don't know where we're at with him right now."

In Cloud Atlas, the ambitious adaptation of David Mitchell's sprawling novel by the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer (out tomorrow), six interlocking but initially unrelated stories are told, decades or even centuries apart, and to further the film's everything-is-connected theme, the filmmakers had most of their cast take roles — large and small — in each of the stories. Some do it more successfully than others (Hugo Weaving is as versatile as ever, but Tom Hanks' Cockney gangster is, erm, a bit of a stretch), but it's an endurance test that actors love to take, the kind of challenge that makes a thesp's mouth water. Cloud Atlas marks one of the few occasions that multi-role performances (and by that we mean more than two) have been taken on in service of a serious film, however; it's usually, but not always, a gimmick for character-based comedians. At any rate, we've assembled a few of our very favorite performances by actors who decided to flex their chameleon muscles; check them out after the jump. … Read More

Video Essay: "All of Woody's Surrogates"
Woody Allen's flawed but funny new film To Rome with Love opens this Friday, and while it marks his first acting appearance in one of his movies since 2006′s Scoop, he plays the role of a retired father while continuing his tradition of writing his leading man as a "Woody Allen role" — played, in this film, by Jesse Eisenberg. In his early works, Allen would occasionally engage a young actor to play himself as a child, but as he got too old to play the leading man (okay, let's face it, after he'd gotten a little too old to play the leading man), he began putting younger actors in roles that were still distinctively Woody-esque, and which said actors played as varying degrees of imitation. We've assembled a montage of those actors and some of their most Allen-inspired moments; check out our latest video essay after the jump. … Read More
12 of the Greatest Movie Roles Almost Played
The weekend's big movie, as you well know, was The Hunger Games, while DVD and Blu-ray players have been firing up Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo since its release last week. The two films have a lot in common: powerful female protagonists, adaptations of bestsellers, probable franchise kick-offs. As such, they were also each objects of carefully considered casting. It's become part of the pre-production process, the bandying about of potential name actors for high-profile roles; Fincher reportedly talked to Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Kristen Stewart, and Scarlett Johansson before settling on Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander, while Hunger Games director Gary Ross' alternate Katnisses included Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, Chloe Moretz, and Saoirse Ronan.
Contemplating proxy casting choices is a fun parlor game for movie fans (perhaps second only to considering movies that never came to pass at all). After the jump, we'll take a look at a dozen iconic movie roles, and the actors who almost, almost filled them. … Read More
10 Entirely Unwelcome Movie Sequels
As you've surely noticed from the lines of ecstatic moviegoers camped out on the sidewalks of your local cineplex (/sarcasm), Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is out tomorrow. Try to contain your excitement. Yes, in their infinite wisdom, Hollywood has spent $75 million to grind out a sequel to Ghost Rider, a film that nobody liked and nobody wanted to see more of. So why on earth does Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance exist? Ah, here we go: because beloved or no, the first film grossed $115 million, and while that may be a meager profit on a reported $110 million budget (seriously? SERIOUSLY?), it pretty much doubled that gross overseas. As they say, it's show business, kids, and if there are that many ticket buyers who'll pony up once to see Nicolas Cage flambé motorcycling around for justice, maybe they'll do so twice. (Not to worry, though: the sequel is directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who did Crank and, um, Crank 2. And, oh dear, Jonah Hex. Enjoy, moviegoers!)
GR:SOV (as the kids are calling it) is just the latest in Hollywood's long, long, long history of churning out utterly inexplicable sequels. Look, let's be clear, we're not cinema snobs, railing against sequels on general principle: movies from Godfather II to Aliens to The Dark Knight to Harry Potter 3-7.5 have proven that you can follow up a film with equal (or even advancing) returns. But there has to be a compelling reason for it to exist: a story worth returning to, say, or even a general positive opinion of the initial outing. After the jump, we'll take a look at a few occasions where we got a sequel, whether we wanted one or not. … Read More

Watch a Guest Star-Packed 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Season 8 Promo
Ana Gasteyer, Michael J. Fox, and Rich Sommer (a.k.a. Harry Crane from Mad Men) are among the celebrity guest stars who turn up in a brand-new, 52-second trailer for Season 8 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. As you may remember, this season will find Larry David back in New York, the city that made his Seinfeld-era career. Although we don't learn much about the plot from the clip, we do see a lot of David yelling and characters calling him names, so we're not expecting a major departure from the Curb we know and love. But, being New Yorkers, we are hoping his city-specific conflicts will be cathartic — and the scene that has him fighting over a cab is mighty promising. The show debuts July 10th on HBO. … Read More

His early work was featured in publications like The Face and NME, and in the '90s his reputation grew thanks to a number of personal projects, specifically a series on Philosophers.

N.S.W. Dump (Fifteen Pence) 1813 |
See the Early Australian Coinage article for more information. Beware of Dump forgeries and reproductions. Notes:Of the 40,000 original Spanish dollars, the records indicate that around 39,910 survived the production process. 190 years later, approximately 1,500 dumps have survived. Of those, less than 1,000 are able to be identified, the balance being worn beyond recognition. Little did Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of the colony of NSW, realise the legacy that these small coins would provide for future historians and numismatists.Documentation on the method of manufacture used in the production of the dump has never been found. The method proposed is conjecture, based on technology and tools available in the colony at the time. It is safe to assume that whatever machinery was employed, it was hand operated as the first steam engine did not become operational in the colony until 1815. Likely production candidates are the screw press, drop hammer or hand held punch with the drop hammer method onto a pre-heated plug generally regarded as the most likely. The haphazard, obliquely grooved, edge milling found on dumps indicates that a 'fiddle method' was the final step in the production process. In this process, a roll of stamped dumps was placed between a plain and an obliquely grooved cylinder and rotated under pressure. Each dump would have been a slightly different size from the punching and stamping process with edges which were not necessarily square. This accounts for the varying depth of the grooves on different pieces and for its absence on portions of the rim of the same piece. Based on a detailed analysis of approximately 300 known examples, four distinct types (die combinations) have been identified for the Dump. On the obverse, variations occur in the shape of the cross on the crown, the position of this cross in relation to the letters in the legend above and in the positioning of the row of jewels (or pearls) in the crown. On the reverse, differences are found in the distance between the words FIFTEEN and PENCE and in the position of the T in FIFTEEN in relation to the N in PENCE. Examples which differ from the four identified types have not been found. From this, it is reasonable to assume that if one side of a dump can be identified/classified, then the entire piece can be given a type code. The lack of mulings between the four separate obverse and reverse dies remains a mystery. Perhaps the design of the drop hammer was such that when one die broke, the force of the impact also shattered the second die. The four types have been classified (Mira/Noble) as A/1, D/2, C/4 and E/3. Of the known surviving pieces, 70% have been identified as type A/1, 25% as type D/2 and 4% as type C/4. Only fifteen examples (1%) of the E/3 type are known to exist. The crude type C/4 appears to have been an early die combination, probably used for trials while the correct striking pressure and planchet temperature were worked out. Most have surface cracks and splits attesting to this. The almost as crude type E/3 also appears to have been been used for trials. Types A/1 and D/2, with their symmetrical crosses, neater letters and more artistic overall design were selected and used for the majority of the dumps produced. The relatively high percentage of surviving pieces has led some historians to the belief that the trial dies may have been used to complete the production run when the last of the major dies shattered near the end of the project. Another theory to explain the seemingly high percentages is that William Henshall forged dumps using the trial dies. Valuation : |
On A/1 types, a symmetrical cross at the top of the crown is positioned between the T and H in SOUTH above. The first pearl in the band on the crown touches the base while the last touches the top. On the reverse, the words FIFTEEN and PENCE are 4.5mm apart with the upstroke of the T in FIFTEEN above the centre of the N in PENCE. All of the major design features show evidence of recutting or duplication.
On C/4 types, an asymmetrical cross at the top of the crown is positioned between the T and H in SOUTH above. The pearls in the band are lozenge (or diamond) in shape and lie evenly spaced and equidistant between the upper and lower lines of the band. On the reverse, the words FIFTEEN and PENCE are 4.0mm apart with the upstroke of the T in FIFTEEN well to the left of the N in PENCE. Again, all the major features show evidence of recutting but the overall effect appears much cruder than for type A/1.
On D/2 types, a symmetrical cross (similar to type A/1) at the top of the crown is positioned between the U and T in SOUTH above. The pearls in the band are elongated rectangles and lie evenly spaced but closer to the upper line of the band (often touching the line in worn examples). On the reverse, the words FIFTEEN and PENCE are 5.0mm apart with the upstroke of the T in FIFTEEN well to the left of the N in PENCE. There is no evidence of recutting.
On E/3 types, an asymmetrical cross (similar to type C/4) at the top of the crown is positioned between the T and H in SOUTH above.

The Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® classes are composed of a series of gentle physical movements that create immediate improvements in personal awareness, posture, balance, and flexibility.

After only a few lessons you will have a different sense of lightness and ease in everything that you do. The lessons consist of comfortable, easy movements that gradually evolve into movements of greater range and complexity. There are hundreds of Awareness Through Movement lessons contained in the Feldenkrais Method that vary, for all levels of movement ability, from simple in structure and physical demand to more difficult lessons.

Our capital city is literally blanketed in fog this morning. Barely able to see a quarter of a mile ahead, cars slowly inch along. From Virginia, you can't even see Washington across the Potomac. The entire city disappears.
The fog advisory says it's a couple thousand feet thick in the air. There's zero visibility at Dulles airport.
And what timing for a city in a fog of its own making. This morning things are more uncertain than certain. The political balance of the Senate. The balance of power. The condition of Democratic Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota. What to do in Iraq. The President still seeks advice on his listening tour. As he said yesterday, "our enemy is far from being defeated."
The fog is supposed to lift here around noon today. The political fog? No one knows.

Christie opens up about her longtime crush on Dylan and Peter is hopeful for a second chance with Victoria.
They cuddled before this show and she couldn't make a move to kiss him then, wow...
The first girl was like swearing a lot lol!000a
Can we see what you look like? Because these people arent ugly. You must be a superficial **** or some lonely chick who is ****** about it.
What are you talking about? Christie is beautiful! Not super star beautiful but gorgeous in a way that superficial people could never understand. Its a different kind of beauty. Lets see your pic and put yourself out there to get eaten by the sharks. Bet you don't have room to talk! She also is an amazing person. Her feelings are real and her personality is outgoing and loveable!

The original Eyepatch® was the biggest frame we ever created, and Eyepatch® 2 lays out intricate stem detailing to become the new heir of aggressive originality. Its durable yet lightweight O-Matter® frame is decked with dual cam hinges in a comfortable Three-Point Fit. You'll have enough lens real estate to keep the world in view, and Polaric Ellipsoid™ geometry maintains razor-sharp clarity along every millimeter of the pure Plutonite® optics.
Performance and style go big with this Oakley original, and outspoken attitude becomes a work of art. Eyepatch® 2 carries true metal icons and the precision of hinges that work with dual cam action. The two lenses are cut from a single toric shape of lens material and mounted precisely in the frame to maintain the original contour. Optical performance meets ANSI Z80.3 standards while protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact, and our lens material filters out every searing ray of UV. Choose Oakley HDPolarized lenses and you'll have the best polarized optics available. To balance light transmission, opt for lenses with Iridium® coating. You can also match Eyepatch® 2 with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses in a full range of options.
Also available in: Polarized

In early 2007, Julia T. Morton, wife of prominent North Carolinian, entrepreneur, tourism booster, conservationist, environmental activist, sports fan, and prolific image-maker Hugh MacRae Morton, donated his extensive photographic archive—estimated at the time of donation to contain 500,000 transparencies, photographs, and negatives, and 60,000 linear feet of motion picture films—to the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With very little existing internal order, and material dating from the the late 1920s through the early 2000s (with the bulk of the collection ranging from the 1940s through the 1990s), the Morton collection presented a major, multi-year processing undertaking for the staff of the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives.
We initially created this blog at the outset of processing the Morton collection because it was a "high demand" collection that was going to take two or three years to process. Blog entries during the first three years provided information about our progress, provided glimpses into how photographic archivists work, highlighted interesting discoveries we made along the way, and fostered discussion and input from the many "Friends of Hugh"—residents of the state to which he devoted his life and any other interested parties.
In late 2009, the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities funded the hiring of a group of scholars and writers to produce thirteen essays (1,000-1,500-words long, based on 3-5 images), highlighting some of the predominant themes represented in the Hugh Morton photographic collection. These essay are a part of A View to Hugh. We highly encourage readers to comment on these essays to add your voice to the these in-depth analyses.
Now that the collection is processed and available for use, A View to Hugh now relates stories or provides background information about individual or groups of images within the collection, with the same goal of encouraging dialog among its visitors. The blog also serves as a springboard into the digital collection of more than 8,000 images available for viewing online.
So please visit often, make comments, help us identify people and places depicted in the Morton photographs, and enjoy treasures from this wonderful and important collection!

Andy Faisca, aka the first half of Belgium disco duo Mustang, has now decided to go solo under the moniker A.N.D.Y. and is destroying our music players with Neu Disco goodness. Between his mixtapes and the handful of notable remixes, A.N.D.Y. has been making a name for himself beyond the shadow of Mustang.
After his recent remixes for Philosophy Of Sound's "Freedom, What For?" and The Supermen Lovers' "Say No More," he now delivers a transformed Jupiter banger entitled "One o Six" that will send you straight to the dancefloor and give you a burst of energy. The lustrous vocals, poppy beats and vibrant synth notes have been combined flawlessly and built to perfection with ultimate highs and stimulating beat fluctuations.
You can grab A.N.D.Y.'s remix of "One o Six" here fo free.

Yippie !! Go Chiefs !
If the Chiefs don't draft a receiver that can play immediately in this weekends draft, they will be lucky to win 6 games next season.
I'm in St. Louis, so I do root for KC most of the time. They've lost 4 of their 5 starting offensive linemen in the past 2 seasons and now have no depth and very little talent at the position. The only way they will open up holes for Larry Johnson is to spread the ball around more. Kennison is old, Hall can't catch, and Gonzales will be kept in to block the majority of the time.
Round 1 -- WR
Round 2 -- Offensive lineman (they need guards and tackles!)
Round 3 -- From here on out, best player available, although they really should consider using rounds 2, 3, and 4 on offensive linemen. At least one of them will not pan out and they have 4 slots to fill.
The Chiefs are my third favorite team, (behind the Steelers and Seahawks), but they need some serious help. Green leaves, Holmes retires, and Johnson out....man the tomahawks are laying low. It's gutwrenching at times, just gutwrenching.

Democracy Now! has regularly covered the Afghanistan War since it was launched Oct. 7, 2001. Over the years, we have interviewed dozens of independent journalists, civilians living in the conflict zones, scholars, veterans, and antiwar activists.
Almost daily, Iranian officials offer conflicting pronouncements about whether the country should deal directly withAmericans in their war on terrorism, confine such discussions to the United Nations or keep its back turned on theU.S. Some reformists among Iran's leaders see this an opportunity to heal the rift between the two countries createdwhen the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was seized in 1979.

What is Smarter Computing?
Imagine an IT infrastructure that:
- Leverages the cloud to speed time to market and improve efficiency
- Unlocks the power of big data to deliver more actionable insight
- Provides security to protect critical information and reduce risk
You don't have to imagine this.
It can be your reality with Smarter Computing.
Why Smarter Computing?
The majority of IT
budget is devoted to
operations and maintenance
Digital content will
nearly quadruple
by 2015
But with the right infrastructure, IT leaders can meet
these challenges while keeping their data secure.
How to get started.
As a CIO, you must identify how to:
- Speed time to market and improve efficiency
- Deliver more actionable insight
- Protect critical information and reduce risk
To be competitive, you must meet all three requirements―and
integrate those individual solutions into a cohesive whole.
