The Mae Shi performing in August 2008

"R U Professional" is a song by the indie rock band The Mae Shi, inspired by the audio of a July 2008 outburst of actor Christian Bale on the set of Terminator Salvation. The song was written and released by the group twenty-four hours after the February 2, 2009 appearance of the Bale outburst on the internet. In a statement released from The Mae Shi, the group explained that the audio from the Bale outburst "was so crazy" that they were inspired to record a song about it, further stating "it's a tribute song we made to celebrate the epic-ness of Christian Bale". The piece was made available on YouTube and via download on MediaFire on February 3, 2009.
The song has received generally positive reception. MTV.com characterized it as "a Devo-esque slice of new wave fun", and Dose called it an "electro jam". Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times called it "a jaunty pop ode to Bale". Music sites including Pitchfork Media were impressed with the group's ability to write, record and release the video within twenty-four hours after the audio of the Bale outburst appeared on the internet.
While Christian Bale was acting in a scene for the film Terminator Salvation with actress Bryce Dallas Howard, Bale yelled at the film's director of photography, Shane Hurlbut, for walking into his line of sight.[1][2] During the four-minute audio recording, Bale can be heard screaming obscenities at Hurlbut and threatening to quit the film if Hurlbut did it again and was not fired.[1][3] Hurlbut responded calmly and apologized several times to Bale, and continued shooting for seven hours after the incident.[1][4][5]
The incident occurred in July 2008 during shooting for the film in New Mexico, and an audio recording of Bale yelling at Hurlbut appeared on the website TMZ.com on February 2, 2009.[2][3] Prior to releasing the audio on the internet, TMZ.com had reported on the incident on their website in July 2008.[6] TMZ.com reported that film executives for Terminator Salvation sent a copy of the audio recording to the film's insurance company, in case Bale did quit the film.[1][4]
In a statement to Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM on February 6, 2009, Bale said he "acted like a punk", and that he and Hurlbut talked after the incident and "resolved this completely".[7] Bale acknowledged the two worked together for several hours after the incident, and "at least a month after that", and noted "I've seen a rough cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful job. It looks fantastic".[7]
Inspiration and release[edit]
A statement released by The Mae Shi explained the group's inspiration to write the song: "We thought it [the tape] was so crazy that we, The Mae Shi, wrote and recorded a song about it. We should clarify and say that this isn't really a Mae Shi song, it's a tribute song we made to celebrate the epic-ness of Christian Bale."[8][9] Band drummer Brad Breeck commented in an interview, "It was a late-night, spur-of-the-moment experiment. We heard the Bale thing, wrote and recorded a song in about two hours, posted it to the Internet. That's it!"[10]
The lyrics of the song include references to films Bale has appeared in including Newsies,[11] Swing Kids,[12] and American Psycho.[13] The song begins with the phrase, "He is the Dark Knight, he is professional."[14] The chorus of the song is "Oh, whoo wow/ He is professional/ But I think he's lost control",[9][15] and the lyrics include: "Swing Kid with a violent streak",[12] "Step back, stay out of his light/Better not try to put up a fight/Newsies will get you tonight/'Cause they're professional!",[11] and "Don't look too deep in his eyes/he can't hide what's inside of his mind/and it might get a little bit ugly/and you might meet an American Psycho".[13] The piece incorporates audio clips from Bale's outburst.[16] The song was made available for listening on YouTube or via download on MediaFire on February 3, 2009.[17] The video description on YouTube by the group stated, "Song By The Mae Shi celebrating the life and work of Xtian Bale. Bale's performance as John Connor in the upcoming Terminator 4 'Redemption' Film will no doubt be one of the greatest of all time. He will win every Oscar for his performance, even the special effects and animation ones."[18]
"But the corker has to be a fresh tune from indie rockers The Mae Shi that's an homage to Bale's notorious on-set intensity, "R U Professional," a Devo-esque slice of new wave fun..."
Gil Kaufman of MTV.com characterized the song as "a Devo-esque slice of new wave fun".[15] Leah Collins of Dose magazine commented "L.A.'s The Mae Shi take things to another level, not just sampling Bale but turning around an electro jam, 'R U Professional'".[12] Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times called the piece "a jaunty pop ode to Bale".[19] Whitney Matheson of USA Today called the song "a danceable and inspired track", and commented "I smell a hit."[11]
Darryl Sterdan of The Toronto Sun commented about the remixes which appeared after the Bale rant, "Here's one of the first, and one of the best: A danceable little electro-pop ditty from L.A.'s Mae Shi, complete with original lyrics and peppered with snippet's from Bale's rant. What else can you say but: Oh, good for you!"[20] New Musical Express recommended the piece, and described it as "an electro-rock song ... sampling Bale".[21] Kevin Harley of The Independent reported that the ban would appear at a music festival, "The Fans Strike Back", and commented that they "must play their Christian Bale mash-up. They are professional, yes?"[22] Derek Bledsoe of Boing Boing called the song "a tasty Christian Bale tribute".[23]
Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club called the piece "a hastily written, but pretty amusing, original song".[24] Rhodri Marsden of the Irish Independent commented "one suspects it was a pre-existing tune hastily adapted" for the Bale outburst.[25] Matt Fernandes of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described the piece as a "new wave ditty using the jerkiest clips of Bale's on-set rant", and commented "The results are pretty funny."[26] El País described the piece as an electropop song that contributed to the viral spread of the Christian Bale rant after its release on the Internet.[27] C7nema commented on the fallout from the actor's rant, "The furor was such that even the band The Mae Shi made a hilarious song called 'R U Professional' dedicated to the madness of Bale.[28]
Kristin Hunt of The Celebrity Cafe wrote that the piece "gets my vote for best Bale parody", and commented that in her view it was better than "Bale Out" by RevoLucian.[29] Chicagoist wrote that the song by The Mae Shi was their favorite of the Christian Bale remixes, commenting "There are lots of remixes floating around there but this track by The Mae Shi is our current favorite treatment."[30] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork Media was impressed that "R U Professional" was compiled in twenty-four hours, noting "Props for putting it all together in a day".[31] Mark Lore of Chico News & Review called the piece "a loving nod to the prima donna rant of Christian Bale".[10]

A note on referees
All games U9/U10 and older will have assigned certified referees. All U6 games should have parent referees. Most U8 games will have certified referees, but teams should be prepared to have parent referees. Please understand that we are developing referees as much as we are developing players and treat our younger, learning referees with respect. A conversation after the game about rules or suggestions on calling things is much better than yelling at a 13 year old learning to control the game.
About Jewelry
All jewelry must be removed for games. This includes earrings and watches, in addition to things like necklaces. This is a matter of safety. We cannot deny that "taping" of earrings occurs on occasion, but it is not officially allowed, is not as safe, and a referee is well within her/his rights to insist that earrings (whether just recently pierced or not!) come out for games.

Charles Tait (film director)
Charles Tait | |
Born | Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia |
November 15, 1868
Died | June 27, 1933 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |
(aged 64)
Occupation | Film director, film writer |
Years active | 1906 |
Notable work(s) | The Story of the Kelly Gang |
Family | John Henry Tait (brother, deceased) James Nevin Tait (brother, deceased) Edward Tait (brother, deceased) Sir Frank Tait (brother, deceased) |
Charles Tait (15 November 1868 – 27 June 1933), together with two of his brothers, was an Australian concert, film and theatrical entrepreneur, but his most notable achievement was as the director and writer of The Story of the Kelly Gang, an Australian film, regarded as the world's first feature length film. The film was first shown on 26 December 1906.
Tait was born in Castlemaine, Victoria, the son of John Turnbull Tait (1830-1902), a tailor from Scalloway, Shetland Islands, Scotland, and his English wife Sarah, née Leeming. John Tait migrated to Victoria in 1862 and settled at Castlemaine where he married Sarah. They had nine children: including Charles (1868-1933), John Henry (1871-1955), James Nevin (1876-1961), Edward Joseph (1878-1947) and Frank Samuel (1883-1965) (later Sir Frank). In about 1879, the Taits moved to Richmond, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. On 21 June 1899 Charles married Elizabeth Jane Veitch; and they were to have two daughters and two sons.
The Tait brothers' earliest presentations centred on the Athenaeum Hall in Collins Street, Melbourne, with concerts often including popular short, film screenings. This interest led them to join with Millard Johnson and William Gibson in the production of The Story of the Kelly Gang which premièred on 26 December 1906 at the Athenaeum. The film is now recognized as the first feature length narrative film.
In March 1911, the brothers John and Nevin Tait, and Millard Johnson and William Gibson merged their film interests in Amalgamated Pictures which for a short time continued to produce features and newsreels before combining with its main competitor, Australasian Films, in 1912. After 1911, the Taits concentrated on concert presentation and occasional film exhibition.
The Tait brothers were associated with J. C. Williamson Ltd.[1] Edward Joseph Tait was a stage producer with J. C. Williamson and General Manager of his company from 1913 to 1916, then joined his brothers in J & N Tait.[2]
Charles died in Melbourne in 1933.

If you found it easy to learn how to declare and implement protected methods using the "DataSaver" class, then I'm pretty sure that there will be a big smile on your face when I teach you how to work with private ones! Well, I possibly got caught in the moment, but trust me, defining private methods in PHP 5 is a really simple process that only requires preceding the method that you wish to declare private with the "private" keyword. It's simple and intuitive, isn't it? Besides, it's important to say that any method defined as private can only be called from inside the originating class. Period. In this case, it can't be accessed by any subclass, which restricts a method even more from unwanted calls. Even so, the previous explanation would be rather incomplete if I didn't show you an example of how useful a private method can be in concrete situations. So, once more I'm going to appeal to the sample "DataSaver" class to show you how to declare and implement a pair of private methods. This being said, take a look at the code sample below, which includes the modified signature of this sample class and shows how the PHP engine throws a fatal error when one of these methods is called in the global scope: // define 'DataSaver' class (methods are defined private) class DataSaver{ private $filePath; private $data; public function __construct($data,$filePath){ if(!$data||strlen($data)>1024){ throw new Exception('Invalid data for being saved to target file.'); } if(!file_exists($filePath)){ throw new Exception('Invalid target file.'); } $this->data=$data; $this->filePath=$filePath; } // save data to target file public function save(){ if(!$fp=fopen($this->filePath,'w')){ throw new Exception('Error opening target file.'); } if(!fwrite($fp,$this->data)){ throw new Exception('Error writing data to target file.'); } fclose($fp); } // get target file via an accessor private function getFilePath(){ return $this->filePath; } // get data via an accessor private function getData(){ return $this->data; } } try{ // create new instance of 'DataSaver' class $dataSaver=new DataSaver('This string of data will be saved to a target file!','datafile.txt'); // save data to target file $dataSaver->save(); // call private methods echo 'Target file is the following : '.$dataSaver->getFilePath().'<br />'; echo 'Data for being saved to target files is the following : '.$dataSaver->getData(); /* displays the following Fatal error: Call to private method DataSaver::getFilePath() from context '' in path/to/file/ */ } catch(Exception $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); exit(); } Didn't I tell you that using private methods with the above data saving class was going to be a straightforward process? And certainly, I was correct, since the previous example shows you very clearly how the PHP interpreter fires up a fatal error when a private method is directly called from outside the class in question. With the previous example at your disposal, you can hopefully learn the basics of defining and implementing private methods within a basic PHP 5 class. So, what's the next step to take from here? Well, it's probable that you're wondering how a private method can be called in the global scope without getting a fatal error. In practical terms, this isn't possible. However, there's something that can be done to skip over this restriction, and it consists of simply using a public method to access a private one. Indeed, this idea may sound confusing, but it can be used to expand your recently-acquired background in working with private methods. Thus, in the section to come, I'm going to set up a final example for you that will recreate this particular situation. Please, click on the link below and keep reading.

By Jamie Dupree
It wasn't that Democrats in Congress were in denial about the loss of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts, but listening to their various explanations of what it all meant was an interesting exercise on Wednesday.
The bottom line from Democrats? Scott Brown's win had nothing to do with health care.
"I don't want to boil it down to one thing or one issue," said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who rejected the health care narrative. "I think that's to oversimplify a lot of different factors."
It was the same up on Capitol Hill.
"The frustration that came out in Massachusetts, was an economic frustration," said Rep. David Scott (D-GA), who waved off talk that health care was the number one reason the Democrats lost in Massachusetts.
"I don't think it's proper to make it out as some kind of referendum on health care," said Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), "because Massachusetts already has health care reform."
Grayson instead dumped on candidate Martha Coakley and blamed her for the implosion.
"It is remarkable to think that someone running for Senate in Massachusetts would think that Curt Schilling is a Yankees fan," said Grayson.
Republicans meanwhile hailed Brown's win as a giant message on health care. They'll get to repeat some of that as Brown arrives in Washington later today.
He will meet with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), the GOP Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and others.
Can you say "rock star" treatment? He will dominate the news today most likely.

Statehouse Lobbying Close to $1 Billion
By Eric Kelderman, Staff Writer
Corporations, labor unions, professional associations and state agencies spent nearly $953 million to lobby in the state capitols in 2004, according to an August 10 report from the non profit Center for Public Integrity (CPI).
While lobbyists and their employers spent the most money in California, Texas and New York last year, nine states, led by Mississippi, reported an increase of more than 20 percent in lobbying dollars.
At the same time, 11 states enacted new standards for who qualifies as a lobbyist and what kinds of spending they have to report. Eight states did not report a spending total for 2004, including Pennsylvania, the only state without a legal requirement for lobbyists to register and report their spending.
There are more than 38,000 individual lobbyists in the state capitols -- five for every state legislator -- advocating for everything from business tax breaks and tort reform to aid for the poor and tougher requirements for lobbyists.
CPI's annual report gives total spending on lobbying for 42 states, the number of lobbyists registered in those states and recent laws passed regulating lobbyists.
While the public and media often focus on how much lobbyists spend to wine and dine lawmakers, the amount that lobbyists are paid is much higher than entertainment costs in the 10 states that track those figures, said Leah Rush, a researcher for the center.
In Texas for example, the state's 1,460 registered lobbyists earned nearly $160 million dollars last year, 74 times the amount they spent on perks for legislators.
Mississippi reports only earnings for its 402 registered lobbyists, which increased by 36 percent in 2004 to a total $13.6 million. Tort reform, economic development and Gov. Haely Barbour's roots in the lobbying world brought the hired guns out of the woodwork, said Mississippi House Speaker William J. McCoy (D).
"There was a feeling that you had to have a lobbyist if you wanted an ingrown toenail worked on," McCoy told Stateline.org.
Eileen Laramie, a spokeswoman for the Democratic majority in the New York State Assembly, said lobbyists are not just advocating for wealthy special interests. Anyone who spends or is paid $500 must register as a lobbyist in the Empire State, she said. And this year, the state passed a law requiring companies seeking state contracts to register as lobbyists as well.
Since last summer, 10 other states have raised requirements for lobbyists to register and report how they spend their money, including New Jersey, where lobbyists now have to pay a registration fee and are subject to greater auditing by the state.
New rules on lobbying were also enacted in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee and West Virginia.
But loopholes still exist. Fifteen states do not require lobbyists to report their income and Nevada only requires lobbyists to report their expenditures in odd-numbered years when the legislature is in session.
Only Colorado, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia require lobbyists to include campaign contributions in their reports.
Pennsylvania's lobbying laws were struck down by the state Supreme Court in 2002. While the state senate requires lobbyists to register, the public also needs to see the amounts being spent to influence lawmakers, said Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania.
"There's a direct correlation between the large well-funded lobbying efforts and those who get their issues on the agenda," Kauffman said.

DragonFly BSD
DragonFly 3.6.1 released
The first bugfix release for DragonFly 3.6 has been built; see the tagging message for a list of the changes. See /usr/src/UPDATING to upgrade your installed copy or download an image for a new install.
DragonFly and Google Summer of Code
Not this year, for the first time in 7 years. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are both participating in Summer of Code this year, so there will still be BSD involvement.
What is DragonFly BSD?
DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating systems as other BSD-derived systems and Linux. It is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs and shares ancestor code with other BSD operating systems. DragonFly provides an opportunity for the BSD base to grow in an entirely different direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.
DragonFly includes many useful features that differentiate it from other operating systems in the same class.
The most prominent one is HAMMER, our modern high performance filesystem with built-in mirroring and historic access functionality.
Virtual kernels provide the ability to run a full-blown kernel as a user process for the purpose of managing resources or for accelerated kernel development and debugging.
The kernel makes extensive use of tokens as a synchronization mechanism; tokens are inherently deadlock-free and easily composable. The use of soft token locks results in less cross-subsystem pollution and more maintainable code, both of which allow us to parallelize the system with less effort compared to other kernels, which primarily use hard mutex locks.
DragonFly is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the wide availability of affordable Solid Storage Devices (SSDs), by making use of swap space to cache filesystem data and meta-data. This feature, commonly referred to as "swapcache", can give a significant boost to both server and workstation workloads, with a very minor hardware investment.
The DragonFly storage stack comprises robust AHCI drivers, stable device names via DEVFS and a partial implementation of Device Mapper for reliable volume management and encryption.
Some other features that are especially useful to system administrators are variant symlinks (i.e. symlinks that are resolved at runtime based on user-specific or system-wide variables) and a performant and scalable TMPFS implementation. Our system makes pervasive use of NULLFS mounts, which allow the administrator to make arbitrary parts of the filesystem hierarchy visible in other locations with virtually no overhead.
A major crux of any open source operating system is third party applications. DragonFly leverages the dports system to provide thousands of applications in source and binary forms. These features and more band together to make DragonFly a modern, useful, friendly and familiar UNIX-like operating system.
The DragonFly BSD community is made up of users and developers that take pride in an operating system that maintains challenging goals and ideals. This community has no reservation about cutting ties with legacy when it makes sense, preferring a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to development of the system. The community also takes pride in its openness and innovative spirit, applying patience liberally and always trying to find a means to meet or exceed the performance of our competitors while maintaining our trademark algorithmic simplicity.
For more information, visit the Features and History pages.
Now Hiring
DragonFly provides a welcoming environment for those looking to participate in open source. See the Projects, Research Projects, Code Bounties and Summer of Code Projects pages for project ideas. If you are looking for an easy way to get your feet wet, you might find something suitable in the Bug Tracker. Or bring up your own idea on the appropriate mailing list or IRC!

I love the Swedish Style…never came out of fashion for me…always right in cold times when coziness is highly required!
Congrats and cheers, Beatrice
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 by Mary Scherpe
In 2006, the essence of Berlin fashion is summarised by Schluffi Stil. A way of dressing right out of the dusty trunk up the attic. A way to demonstrate: I care so much about fashion to not care at all. It was consequently followed by Bettdecken Stil in 2007. When the trend of cocooning and the human need to stay in bed all day reached its climax.
In 2008, the search for coziness did not cease as Schweden Stil emerged. The notion of cinnemon rolls and tea reflected in the choice of colours and fabrics – most obviously due to a Swedish Mitte invasion. As a corollary, these tendencies concluded in Hipster Stil in 2009. The trendy replaces the careless. Berlin abandons the 'funny nylon vintage' and seeks individualism through copying of global trends.
But luckily, this has only been a short-term identiy crisis. In 2010, Transgender Hippie Stil hits the streets and the city seems to be perfect and rightfully Berlin-ish again.

Ice Cream Bicycles
In Toronto, there used to be those bicycles that would come around town with the bells, the Dickie dee bikes and it was one of those wonderful moments of summer. But lately, correct me if I'm wrong, they've practically disappeared.
Does anyone know of any other places in Toronto where I might find ice cream bicycles?
I would say to try along the lake perhaps, although I have noticed that the bikes are being replaced by the loud annoying song of the ice cream truck
re: hungryabbey
I agree! Those trucks remind me of the pictures of John Wayne Gacy in a clown costume-outwardly sweet and innocent yet somehow wrong...luring kids with promise of sweets like so many nursery tales.
Then there was that episode of Charmed "We all Scream For Ice Cream", when the sisters got sucked into a vortex located in an ice cream truck-they were lured there by a evil little girl singing that sinister music.

"Earth Empire junky -- I'm a convert"
Version: 1503 A.D. - The New World demo
After a couple years exploring Empire Earth's strategies and depth, I noticed I was really craving building more than fighting. I tried this demo and I'm psyched. I don't like Age of Empires so I wondered when I would find something "open" enough to invite my creativity and attractive enough to keep me interested. This looks like it! Back to the demo and now and I keep my eye on the mailbox.

A spat between two commissioners and a loud shout of protest from the audience spiced up the appointment of a new city auditor and clerk.
The City Commission gathered Thursday to name one of four candidates to replace retired City Auditor and Clerk Billy Robinson.
A seven-member committee interviewed all four candidates and unanimously recommended the only one with any local experience — Pamela Nadalini, who worked for 19 years under Robinson.
Committee member Jody Hudgins said the group struggled to come up with a consensus on a second choice.
"It's hard to overcome (Nadalini's) institutional knowledge," Hudgins said.
When it came time for the commission to vote on the recommendation, sparks flew.
Commissioner Suzanne Atwell, Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner and Mayor Dick Clapp all praised Nadalini.
"Clearly Ms. Nadalini rises to the bar higher than anyone else," said Atwell.
But Commissioner Terry Turner was the lone vote against Nadalini.
"I agree with many of the positive assessments of (Nadalini)," he said. "But there was a candidate who had more experience and was a better candidate."
Turner wanted to chose Debra Eastman, clerk for the Miami suburb Surfside.
When Turner explained that the city's charter required the commission to pick the most competent candidate, Fredrick Williams, chairman of the editorial board of Tempo News, shouted from the audience: "That's incorrect, sir."
Williams was one of about 20 north Sarasota residents in the Commission Chambers watching the proceedings.
Turner had raised the ire of fellow Commissioner Fredd Atkins and some of his constituents, because when Atkins suggested a couple of months ago to avoid a lengthy job search and immediately hire Nadalini, who is black, Turner said it was the commission's duty to interview several candidates before making a decision. The majority of commissioners agreed with Turner.
Several north Sarasota residents alluded to racism and sexism as the reasons why Nadalini wasn't given the job immediately.
Before hearing the committee's recommendation, Turner upset Atkins when he asked if Hudgins would be relaying the positive attributes of all candidates, not just their top choice.
"What are we doing here?" Atkins asked Clapp. "They have a report on one candidate. Why can (Turner) tell us what to do here?"
Turner said he thought he was just following human-resources policy.
Nadalini took Turner's vote in stride.
"For those of you who have doubts and concerns, I'm sure I'll win you over," she said. "Just give me some time."
Turner said after the meeting that he agrees that Nadalini had great knowledge of the city and feels that she will grow into the role.
Nadalini is the first black city auditor and clerk and the first female charter official in Sarasota's history.

Professional car racing, like any dangerous sport, tends to attract people who are daring, confident and skilled. Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian Formula One driver who died at the age of 34 during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, was no different. Strikingly handsome, charming and ambitious, Senna makes for a captivating screen presence—an ill-fated matinee idol striding purposefully toward his untimely death in endless, fuzzy clips of archival footage. But while he lived quite literally in the fast lane, the new documentary about his life, which won the World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance in January, drags. Senna's accomplishments are impressive, but his story seems more suited to an ESPN special than a feature-length film. As long stretches of reverent but irrelevant footage unspool onscreen, it's hard not to wonder, Why now? Why him?
Senna was born in São Paulo into a wealthy family. Naturally athletic and gear-headed, he began go-kart racing at age 13. But director Asif Kapadia doesn't dwell on these early years, leaping instead to the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix that established Senna as a rising star of the Formula One franchise. In driving rain, Senna recovered from a slow start in "a car that was not going to win races" to pass every competitor on the track, including frontrunner Alain Prost—although a red flag caused final positions to default to an earlier lap, in which Prost was still leading. Senna took second place in Monaco, but went on to win six Grands Prix over the next three seasons, after which he joined Mr. Prost on the McLaren team (in Formula One, drivers partner with car manufacturers, sort of like baseball franchises, except that in racing members of the same "team" are still in competition with each other).
In the case of Senna and Prost, the competition was particularly bitter, and a good half of the film is devoted to the rivalry between the two racing stars. At the 1988 Portuguese Grand Prix, Senna almost forced Prost off the track, resulting in a warning from the FIA. The following year, at the Japanese Grand Prix, the two men collided on an escape road after Prost cut off his teammate on a sharp turn. Senna rejoined the race and won, only to be disqualified by the FIA for skipping a small portion of the track in his attempt to get his car into the pit for repairs. His license was suspended for six months and he was forced to pay a $100,000 fine. The footage used in the film strongly suggests that this disqualification was a direct result of a complaint by Prost.
The diminutive Frenchman certainly looked the part of the antagonist, even if his motives fell short of true malice. Standing a good six inches shorter than the strapping Senna, with a crooked nose and sad, watery eyes, Mr. Prost had no chance of upstaging the handsome Brazilian no matter how many races he won. But despite Mr. Kapadia's best efforts, the rivalry never reaches the dramatic heights necessary to justify the amount of time he spends recapping it.
It doesn't help that Senna appears to have had no other struggles on or off the race track. He loved his family, dated a string of models and generally enjoyed the adoration of the masses. He gave money to help poor children and continually expressed his deep faith in God. There were no injuries, no arrests, no drugs, no torrid affairs—none of the kinds of things that celebrity documentaries feed off of. And while Senna's early death certainly qualifies him as a tragic, almost mythical hero, there is simply not enough material to make a compelling movie, even though Mr. Kapadia appears to have used every last frame of footage from the Formula One archives (there is, literally, not a single second of Senna that takes place in modern day, as interviews are presented as voice-overs, often, and to somewhat confusing effect, with subtitles).
A few sequences almost make up for the rest of the film's lack of momentum. First, Senna's emotional hometown win at the Brazilian Grand Prix in 1991 is made all the more heartbreaking by the fact that, thanks to painful muscle spasms, he can barely lift his trophy over his head. And the extended build-up to his fatal last race on May 1, 1994, finally jump-starts the dramatic tension that Senna so desperately needs—over an hour too late.
The days leading up to the crash seem overwhelmingly ominous in retrospect. On April 29, Rubens Barrichello, a fellow Brazilian driver, crashed during a qualifying session, breaking his nose and arm. On April 30, in another qualifying round, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger was killed when his car careered into a concrete wall. Senna was visibly devastated by these accidents, and his then-boss Frank Williams (of Williams-Renault, the team to which Senna switched after McLaren) recalls in a voice-over that he told Senna to quit and go fishing.
In footage from the day of the crash, Senna looks troubled as he gets into his car—he clearly had reservations about going through with the race—and knowing what comes next makes it hard to watch. Point-of-view footage taken from inside Senna's car is used throughout the film, but when Mr. Kapadia uses it here it is particularly disturbing. As the car whines down the San Marino course at breakneck speed, there is nothing to do but wince, preparing for the moment of impact.
If only the rest of the movie were half as gripping.
Running time: 106 minutes
Written by Manish Pandey
Directed by Asif Kapadia
Starring Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Frank Williams
It was not Frank Williams that asked Senna to Stop and retire, It was his friend Dr. Sid Watkins. Dr. Sid, head of the Formula One on-track
medical team and Senna's friend, recounts a conversation with Senna in
which he tries to convince Senna to quit. "Let's go fishing," he says. -
Silly review. Una was not paying attention while watching the movie, which is pretty much the only demand on a film reviewer. No other way to miss the person of Sid Watkins who was a crucial character in Senna's life. The live footage from behind the wheel is thrilling and she was probably dozing to have missed it. It seems she is more interested in 'drug arrests and torrid affairs'. In which case she should stick to TMZ and leave real cinema alone.
It's a very good movie.The whole story is very interesting. An ESPN special?! ESPN has never done anything even a quarter as well done as this film is. It transports you back to the late 80′s early 90′s and it is a trip well worth taking.The version I saw had the interviews presented in full on screen and I was riveted for the almost 3 hour runtime.
Has some disgruntled film student-intern from NYU been assigned to review this movie? What pathetic disconnect from emotions. A waste of interweb space.
I think this Una lady has some aversion to aports, or maybe just can't move past her few core interests. Which is a sad state for a film critic.
they used every last of frame to do the documentary??????
You dont know nothing about SENNA……
with you knew what the guy did you knew that the movie didnt show not even 20% off his achivements….. they left out the 92 and 93 seasons, where with a very inferior car SENNA did things that even GOD doubts….. search in youtube Monaco 92, Brazil 93 and the greatest lap of all times in Donigton 93……. not to mention hungary 91 and 92, phoenix 90, monza 90, canada 88…………………………………………………….
Fast cars, good colors, hot hot HOT engines. Perhaps her pony won't prance? Can-Ams disqualified Hall and his blazing fast vacuum chaparral. Amazing what can be done when new thought(s) trample old line or outdated stereotypical thinking. Sing loud, long and be ready to put foot thru turbo when mood strikes. Granted 143mph on calif freeway WAS over the top. Stuff happens and occasionally there IS a reason. zoom zoom lol.
this women is ridiculous, i dont even know where to start
Isn't an obscure legend an oxymoron? The United States is about the only place where he would be considered obscure. Of course, sports writing is dominated in this country by people who think driving a race car is something they could do with about an hours training and thus gets no respect. Anyway, I have yet to see this movie so I won't comment until I do, but most reviews have been more favorable.
I am trying to be as objective as I can here. Una Lamarche, I am guessing is a movie reviewer, and not well educated on motorsports. This is the only way I can begin to comprehend what I have just read. The column about the "..Obscure legend…" (contradicting words) seems to be an assignment that fell in someone's lap that would have rather been watching tv or hanging out with their friends.
A few points:
-No, every last frame of footage did not come from the F1 archives. That is actually what made this so special. If that were the case, then all the footage could have been watched on Youtube.
-No, it was not Frank Williams that told him to retire.
-Yes, you are correct, none of this takes place in "modern day". There is a sad reason for that. That observation or critique in your case, seems to highlight your ignorance. Documentary defined:
-doc·u·men·ta·ry: Movies, Television based on or re-creating an actual event, era, life story, etc., that purports to be factually accurate and contains no fictional elements
-The reason it focuses on only certain moments and seasons is because the list and examples of his achievements and skills are too expansive to cover in one film.Hopefully, your next assignment won't be such a waste of your time and be better suited to your interests. Which also shows that as a critic you do not possess the skill to be truly objective, as a proper critic should be.
I'm sure Michael Bay will have a budget blasting coming out soon. Or Linsay Lohan will get arrested AGAIN.
Obscure? Did you see his funeral? It was in the movie. How obscure were the millions? Just because you didn't care about the subject matter beforehand, and still don't care about it after the movie does not mean that the film is bad.
A movie about the greatest racing driver ever and it gets 2/4 stars? I've seen this documentary and was totally in awe of this man. No, he did not lead a typical celebrity life of drugs, and scandal. That is not what this movie is about. This is about the meteoric rise and fall of this legend. This is a glimpse into the back story behind hid prolific racing career. A chance to see the man, not the driver, and is succeeds magnificently. I was not a Senna fan before learning about this movie, but the things Senna accomplished on a track when F1 cars were monsters with barely any aerodynamic tracking and engines pushing 12oo hp was just awe inspiring…And I don't even like Formula 1. Sorry there were no drugs, or arrests, or scandal to make this a good movie..there's always Hollywood.
Uhh.. I don't think I watched the same "Senna" as this lady. The one I watched was both riveting and poignant. We sat glued to our seats for the ~3 hours of the extended version.
(disclaimer: I actually OWN a car, and enjoy driving it. )
I think her Huffington Post bio says it all:
"Una LaMarche is a writer, editor, and karaoke enthusiast living in Brooklyn. She is the managing editor of The New York Observer and her writing has appeared in BlackBook, Strut, and Gotham, among other publications. When she's not trolling the internet for celebrity blind items or bidding on old Sassy magazine issues on eBay, Una documents her life, pop culture obsessions, and red carpet fashion throw-downs on her blog, The Sassy Curmudgeon."
Lame review, instead of giving credit for making a compelling documentary out of original yesteryear footage, reviewer talks about lack of "modern" footage. Not gripping??? I watched with a bunch of enthusiasts couple months ago, and it was the best movie I ever watched period.
"Obscure legend"? Pardon my french but fuck the right off.
I couldn't care less that Ayrton Senna's life lacked "the kinds of things that celebrity documentaries feed off of." What a dumb criticism. This is not a fictional script, nor a reality TV show. This was real life. You are also presenting the lack of lengthy interviews as a weakness whereas this choice made the film much stronger. It is dumbfoundingly lazy to crap on a documentary because it didn't fit the nice little template in your head about how documentaries should go. I recommend E! to you, you would love their documentaries and maybe then you'll spare us the nonsensical drivel.
Ms Marche,
The subtlety and dimensions of F1/ F1 driver of Senna's stature (in the 80′s-90′) elude you.
I hope your misguided review doesn't deter anyone from watching this amazing documentary.

Product was good but delivery took a bit longer than expected due to item being out of stock. Information on delay was good and delivery fine when back in stock. Delay was approx 3 days. Not a bad effort.
I ordered on 17th Dec and goods arrived on 3rd Jan. I chased the order by e-mail but was told that Xmas deliveries were an issue, however I could see the order was pending on their system not in delivery. A poor excuse that was used without checking the detail. Goods arrived in the end and were fine. I probably won't order again.

Wonder if Kelly Clarkson ever imagined her wedding to be a moment like this! The "American Idol" alum revealed at the ACM Awards on Sunday that her country crooner pal Blake Shelton will not only sing at her upcoming wedding -- he'll be officiating!
Clarkson, 30, told Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell that "The Voice" mentor will conduct her wedding to fiance Brandon Blackstock (No further details were provided).
PHOTOS: 2012's celebrity engagements
And rightfully so! Last December, Shelton, 36, told Hollyscoop that he had a huge hand in making sure that Clarkson's fiance popped the question in a timely manner.
"I told Brandon, man, you need to grow up and figure out that you need to marry this girl," he told the site at the time. "I am going on the record saying, I will do the music at the wedding or whatever you want to do, I'll be that guy. I will play for four hours if I have to, cause you need to get your head out of your ass and ask that girl to marry you."
PHOTOS: Blake and Miranda's love story
Clarkson excitedly announced her engagement to Blackstock (who is Reba McEntire's stepson) earlier that month via Twitter, with a simple tweet and a photo of her impressive canary yellow diamond ring.
"I wanted y'all to know! Happiest night of my life last night!" she tweeted on Dec. 15. "I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever."

DescriptionThis climb is worth doing if you're looking for a nice 5.7 trad climb in this area. It has really cleaned up over the years. Follow the crack for about 30 ft to a stance, then pass the wider section to reach a very thick flake to the left of the shuts. LocationClimb up to a ledge to reach the corner about 20 ft to the right of Total E Clips. ProtectionLarger gear. Bring a few 3-4" pieces. There's also a few spots for 2" pieces. A #5 Camalot will also fit for the moves off of the stance in the middle of the climb. Shuts.

from Damien Cox of The Spin at the Toronto Star,
If the NHLPA really wants to open a PR offensive, it should have individual players openly questioning the motives of individual owners. Just slamming Gary Bettman will never work. He's paid to take the crap. But if Brad Richards starts questioning why James Dolan needs to have a lockout, or if Claude Giroux takes some verbal swings at Ed Snider, or if Zdeno Chara challenges Jeremy Jacobs to explain himself, it might turn public pressure on those owners in the same way it used to do in the pre-cap era when owners were often questioned for not spending enough. Blaming Bettman for a third lockout - like the PA had nothing at all to do with all three - won't get the union anywhere if it wants to wage a propaganda war.

Red Magen David
I went especially to take this photo of the huge sign on the Red Magen David building at the entrance to Jerusalem. It can be seen from every car that comes from the direction of Tel Aviv. It is part of the landscape for thousands of people every day. It is part of the unbelievable bombardment of this image (forget the color for a moment) on the inhabitants of this country; especially on Independence Day when our national emblem peeps from every flag from almost every building, from almost every car.

Obelisk Zodiac and Planets
Keena posted on 21-4-2004 the most simple explanation I ever read about the possible astronomical origin of Star of David (which he abbreviates to SOD- a word that in Hebrew means secret):
What I know of the Star of David is that it represented the solution to the Cosmic Equation regarding precise calendar orientation...
If you want to know where the Taurus (The Bull) constellation is in the night sky, all you would have to do is stand on the patio stone of the Bull, and look at the point of the obelisk in the center, and you would see the bull...
The other useful purpose of these zodiacs was to track the movement of the planets...The Star of David, two interposing triangle, super imposed on you zodiac, aligned on the rose, would tell you which stars to look at to determine (triangulate) exactly "When" you are in regard to the seasons (Earth Tilt).
