I was just wondering if anybody has bought the Ativ 500T from the MS Store. I ask because according to some online information, the part # they sell has NFC & GPS on the unit. I called MS and they couldn't verify if it did but said some units they sell have different configurations. Just curious if someone can confirm the NFC & GPS. Thanks.
The XE500T1C does not have NFC support. The XE500T1CN does. According to the online store, they carry the XE500T1C. Though you can always ask and have them check.

Botetourt Co, VA—
It's not everyday a country music star like Lauren Alaina performs at your high school.
Every year, Star Country holds a contest to see which area school can raise the most toys for Toys for Tots.
James River High School won. The key club helped collect 2,332 toys.
"It shows we are a small family and that we care a lot about giving to others," said Junior Keith Mitchell.
James River High School has won the competition the last five years.
"I think it's pretty cool that's the 5th year in a row and that we are such a small town and like a smaller school than everybody else," said Junior Calyn Grandy.
The students couldn't believe Alaina came all the way to Buchanan to perform for them.
"It's crazy. A little town and a little school that has a big heart," said Senior Chole Swoope.
Lauren Alaina was last year's American Idol runner up. The country music star is just 17 years old.
"I think it's really cool that she is our age and a small town kinda person like us," said Junior Kayla Hannah.
Alaina can't believe such a small school collected so many toys.
She told News 7, "That's really cool. I didn't know there was only 500 kids at the school. I really don't know what to say because I'm stunned, that's impressive."
The students told us they are determined to win this competition again next year. They say it never gets old.


text: | Service 101: Be reasonable with the wait staff, customersJuly 30, 2013 - Anita HanaburghWhen dining out, my diet-conscious friend requested her salad without the sprinkled cheese. The waitress responded, "We don't do that" and walked away. "Don't do what?" I thought. "Don't put cheese on the salad? Don't make the salad first before adding the cheese? Or don't honor customers' requests?" Service in a restaurant has much to do with what is said. It has much to do with how it is said and it has much to do with the actions take when saying it. Communication between the wait staff and the customer is paramount to the customer's experience. As a teenager, I remember my annoyed mother saying, "It's not what you said, it's your attitude!" All forms of communication can transmit directly to the customer. As with all relationships, the customer/server relationship is personal. As humans, we take all human interaction personally. We are affronted by rudeness, we hate being ignored and we flourish under personal attention. Oh, busboy, that is all a service person really needs to know. But it isn't entirely that simple. The customer and the service person do not always relate. The wait person is serving many people at a time, day after day. The "people" they are facing might lose their personal faces as the day or evening wear on. Sometimes the wait person is dealing with his or her own personal issues — the babysitter arrived with her boyfriend, or the in-laws are coming for the weekend. Sometimes it's very crowded, so speed and efficiency take priority and the personal aspects of service get lost. Sometimes, it is difficult to keep up and personally care about each person as they sit at one's table. Direct personal contact is what serving is all about. Customers, however, arrive with certain expectations. They are paying for a pleasant evening. They are paying for good food and good service. This meal alone is what is happening to them at this time. It's not that they are demanding, it's the way it is. The customer has a single focus; the wait staff is focused on a lot of customers, activities and, sometimes, their own lives. So what? Well, I have a few suggestions for the restaurant, the wait staff and the customer to ease this personality gap:? The restaurant managers should hire warm, friendly people who naturally care about helping others. It's very difficult to "teach" people to be warm, friendly and caring. If Mom and Dad couldn't teach it, you probably won't be able to. There are "naturally" friendly people. Train the wait person very well. A wait person who is comfortable with the system, the techniques of service and the timing can focus more on customer relationships than worrying about the "how-to" of the job. Hire enough wait staff for busy periods. To give attention, one must have time to give that attention. The customer must be reasonable. You are not the only one in the dining room. There is no excuse for rudeness. The wait person is a human being just like you and he or she is not perfect. Treat your waiter or waitress with respect. Tip well for good service — it sends a very strong message. The service person must be prepared. Know where needed items are ahead of time. Know the menu and know the ordering system. Make sure the sure the table is complete. Pace yourself. Practice your good attitude and manner at home so that it comes easier at the work place. Who knows — this could improve your relationships with your spouse, family or your friends. When at a table, block out the others. Focus on one table, one person at a time. Gently look the customer in the eye and try to make a personal connection. When walking, survey your tables for needs. You are being paid to be nice, so try to leave your troubles at home. Pretend that a difficult customer is your beloved "Aunt Millie" having a bad day. Who knows, it might work. Don't blame coworkers or complain to customers about how the restaurant is service is slow. It might allow you to temporarily feel better, but it really makes you look worse. It also keeps the customer from returning, hurting your job security. Help other people on the staff; you might be in that spot some day. Perhaps my advice is not earthshaking. But sometimes simple changes or thoughts can make a difference. What a difference it would have made if the waitress had stopped and leaned to my friend and said, "I'm so sorry, they make the salads early and the cheese is already on them," or, if she was too busy, she might have said, "I'll be right back to find you an alternative." Restaurant Watch: The next time you are in a restaurant, check out how service and the customer relates. Comments?

I'm wondering if the rootdn in the sample slapd.conf is a sensible one: rootdn "dc=example, dc=com" is the same as the base of the LDAP tree - basically, this is NOT a distinguished name, I'd think. Christian Kirsch email@example.com |

The rootdn is used only to authenticate the LDAP administrator. You can use "cn=Manager, dc=example, dc=com" but using "dc=example, dc=com" is equally correct and requires less typing.

Bachelors of Exercise Science, Brevard College | ||

Select, Premium | ||
I moved from playing football in middle school, to basketball in high school, to riding my bike. I entered my first race as a junior, lead from the start and won, and figured I was better at that than whatever else I was doing at the time. |
I get really excited about coaching mountain bikers, particularly gravity riders, but cycling in general is definitely my specialty. I enjoy the cold, hard, self-evaluation aspect of racing, so I love getting to coach racers. |
While I like being able to look at ride data, particularly training data over time, and tend to geek out about it a bit, there is so much more to coaching that is required to be successful. I do my best to work with my athletes to accommodate their schedules, and work around the other stresses in their lives, and I always hope that what I've given them will be achievable. That being said, when I do put a lot of effort into personalizing workouts, I expect that my athletes work equally hard towards their goals. Overall, I look at the big picture of an athlete's life, then narrow down to their riding/racing goals, and then get into the details of what they will need to reach those goals; everything from bikes and mechanical advantages, to nutrition, to training, to sleep patterns. |
Attention to the details of their lives, lots of communication, and a training plan that truly matches their abilities and needs. |
I'm working on it. I think all of my athletes are distinguished. |
XC MTB, Downhill MTB, Cyclocross, beach volleyball. |
2 time member of the National Championship winning Brevard College Cycling Team. |
The hope that every race is going to be the best of my life and that everything will come together on that one day and I will be unbeatable. That and beating the other guy. |
I've always thought it would be awesome to be a professional soccer player. Don't see it happening though. |
Racing downhill at Collegiate Nationals in 2010. |
Racing for 4 years for Brevard College. Seriously, if you are college aged, or know a rider who is or will be shortly, collegiate racing is the best time you can have on a bike. |
In the fall of 2009 I was coming off of my best season ever, and had never been stronger on the bike. I was at collegiate nationals in Lake Tahoe, CA, and expected to be able to get a podium in the cross country and short track races. I was racing at (semi) altitude for the first time, went out WAY too hard, and never was able to recover. I ended up about an hour behind the winner. Lesson learned: don't go out too hard at altitude and don't under-estimate the competition at the national level. |
I generally come into a race pretty amped up and ready to go. If I'm not feeling the motivation already flowing through me, I'll listen to some good music and visualize the racing that I'm about to do. |
Well, I like working on bikes, but that's also cycling related. Something not cycling related? Playing the guitar or doing heavy-duty landscape design is always fun. |
The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Good reads. |
As a coach, I probably shouldn't say this, but for me, nothing beats a bag of Sour Patch Kids and a Dr. Pepper. Also, I'm a sucker for a good Reuben. |
Right after a ride, a bowl of cereal. The bigger meal that follows? A burrito from Chipotle or Mammacita's. |
Most likely New Zealand. Or Italy. |
I've got a thing for a nice watch. I own quite a few and am always looking for more. |
Wheelie, yes. My manualing skills need work though. |

Dinoflagellates are unique among eukaryotes in their unusual 'dinokaryons' — nuclei that lack bulk histones. A new study finds that acquisition of a novel dinoflagellate chromatin protein was an early step in the transition to a nucleus lacking detectable nucleosomes.

2011 Luxury Travel Trends Forecast From Virtuoso Luxe Report
This week, Virtuoso®, luxury travel industry's leading travel network, released their Virtuoso Luxe Report, forecasting relevant travel trends, based on travel decisions and other motivating factors for upscale 2011 travel.
The year of 2011 may mark the end of the "staycation", the popular vacation where individuals, couples and families stayed in one place during their whole trip. According to Virtuoso®, travelers are once again desirous of multi-destination exploration. Indeed, Virtuoso® says its clientele increased their travel purchases by 36 percent from 2009 to 2010, with luxury international leisure trips being the dominant choice.
This year's report shows international travel is slated to be the most popular type of trip in 2011, with 57 percent of respondents reporting clients reserving international trips of eight days or longer. Italy, France and South Africa are the three most popular international destinations for travelers in 2011, followed by Australia and Mexico. Vietnam took the front-running spot as the most popular emerging destination – a position previously occupied by India, which instead became the second most popular emerging destination; followed by China, the Galapagos Islands and Morocco.
For families traveling in 2011, Europe is also in position to be the most popular destination, continuing to support data that international travel is on the rise. Italy and England were ranked the two most popular family travel destinations for this year. Also included were trips to Hawaii and Costa Rica, followed by Alaska.
Interestingly, the survey reported that family and multi-generational travel is the biggest emerging travel trend for 2011. Additionally, the survey found that more travelers are including infants and toddlers in their trip planning. Of those booking travel, the top three motives influencing travel choices included: seeking authentic experiences in new destinations; rest and relaxation; and spending time or reconnecting with loved ones – further supporting the reasons for the increased interest in family travel.
"The Luxe Report findings offer great insight into the mindset of the upscale traveler and predict the trends in luxury-focused, leisure travel for 2011," said Virtuoso CEO, Matthew D. Upchurch. "A strong return to international travel indicates a certain level of economic recovery, as does the increase in families traveling together"
Here are more results of the Virtuoso Luxe survey:

By Thomas M. Missimer, Schlumberger Water Services with contributions by Ian C. Watson, Tom Pankratz, Robert G. Maliva
ISBN-13: 978-097885303-7; ISBN-10: 097885303-2; 1st printing 2009, 390 pages, hardbound.
About the Book: Membrane treatment is now considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the "best available technology" for potable water treatment. Membrane treatment facilities operate most efficiently and cost-effectively by using raw water containing a constant chemistry with low concentrations of foulants, such as organic compounds and bacteria. This book addresses methods to develop raw water supplies that have constant water chemistry and to reduce the concentrations of potential foulants that cause pretreatment processes to be added to the plant design. Evaluation and design of water supplies for all membrane processes using both surface-water sources and groundwater sources are covered.

Very intense, long lasting, I have satin coral. It's a coral pearl with a matte finsish, it lasts eight hours and is professional it matche sit's name alrigty. It looks very natraul. It doesn't stand out. Being subtle is more of a me thingy. It's darker than MAC Viva Glam IV but theres no comparison, this is more coral, it also reminds me of the MAC Viva Glam V lipsticka nd lipgloss, but this is different, more moisturizing and MUFE it's moisturizing to a degree, but I like putting gloss is over it and that can be worn alone or under lipgloss.
I always been more of a lipgloss girl than a lipstick girl, but this badboy just changed my mind. It's a-ma-ziiiing.
I got it in 39 a very pretty natural light pink in a satin finish. Not bright not flat, just the right shade for my muted coloring. There is two things that makes this product amazing, the staying power and the extreme pigmentation. It also fades quite evenly. I love it!

I must admit I was very skeptical when I received this as a gift. For the price I thought pfft, I'll return it and go grab me 2 (ish) mac lipsticks. But of being a makeup whore I had to at least try it.
Wow. I will not be returning this. Its a staple in my bag. Forever.
I have a bright red shade -can't think of the name - and I just want to say I was very impressed with the staying power of this puppy. I forgot the tube at home for touch ups which I discovered AFTER I had eaten lunch. I go to the bathroom and guess what. No need to worry. A little faded on the bottom lip, applied a little gloss and you couldn't even tell for the rest of the day.
I have always been impressed with the quality of Makeup Forever products.Though they are expensive, for your money you are getting a product you can trust. When I need a brand I can trust to get me though the entire day It has to be MUF.
Holy batmancowpoop!
This is the HG warm pink I was looking for in MAC chatterbox but couldn't. So beautiful. So lovely. So elegant. So fun. So lovely with lip gloss. So moist. So long lasting.
I am betrothed to sir 38 forever.
It is so stand out on my nc40 in the classiest way. I look fresh, happy, with lovely whiter teeth and like a toned downed Barbie.
Please give this shade a name, something like "one pink to rule them all."

Very pigmented but I find it to be very drying. Even when I apply lip balm first I still find it drying out my lips.
I have this in # 5 and I love this colour! Its very flattering on me especially when I want to look natural in my makeup yet have some colour to my lips. On me its a rose mauve shade that is not too deep.
Gave it a 4 because its very drying which happens with a lot of matte lipsticks. Just make sure to apply lip balm underneath. I'm NC30 asian with yellow undertones.
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.
I am reviewing #45, a beautiful cool toned red with a good amount of pink in it. This is MY FAVORITE red lipstick. Gorgeous and bright without overwhelming. Moisturizing and soft in application. I feel like it has too much slip, so one lippie off for that. I wish it was more matte, or at least satin finish, instead of feeling like heavily pigmented lip balm. But this literally is the BEST RED I have found.
I am a huge MUFE lip product fan. I hate to reapply my lipsticks and MUFE make the best long-wearing stuff there is that doesn't gunk up on my lips after a few hours, leaving that dreaded white rim in my inner lips.
Rouge Artist Intense comes in 3 formulas (matte, satin, pearl) and 50 colours. I have 4 of these lipsticks, 2 in matte and 2 in satin. I will review each separately as the difference in formula is great. Personally, I would prefer the satin formula a little more. You need to have smooth (or exfoliated) lips to carry off the matte formula. My lips are not very pigmented so I can just go to any swatch website and the colour I see there will be close to the colour that appears on my lips. (These lipsticks are really pigmented) You can go to Sephora's website to try the MUFE lipstick shade finder for some recommendations.
First up~ the matte formulas. I have Mat 1 (matte flesh) and Mat 4 (matte antique pink). The descriptions don't suit the colour. Mat 1 is supposed to be a nude shade. I bought this only because the MUFE lipstick shade finder said it would be an ideal nude shade for me. Sigh~it is slightly orangey on my lips..not "matte flesh" as I hoped. Mat 4 is very bright pink (almost fuchsia) if layered on like a normal lipstick. If you have Aqua Rouge in Pink, you can skip this as the 2 colours are practically dupes for each other. When Mat 4 is lightly applied, it becomes a more muted (but still rather bright) rose pink. I like Mat 4 more than Mat 1 as I feel that it is more versatile. The matte lipsticks don't seem to get lots of love here but I like them as they last INSANELY long, longer than the aqua rouges. They are quite transfer proof due to the dryness of the formula. I put on a light coat of Mat 4 at 5.30 am and at 10 pm it was still there as it had stained my lips. I did not reapply at all and I ate, drank and talked as usual. I could only get rid of the lipstick using cleansing oil. I kid you not :-0
The satin formulas are less long-lasting but more moisturising. I have 23 (Satin Beige) and 30 (Satin Light Rosewood). 23 is a caramel brown nude shade that can be used as a neutral lip to offset heavier eye makeup. 30 is a versatile pink which should suit warm and cool complexions. I don't know why MUFE called it "light rosewood" as it has no hints of brown. It's tending towards medium pink but not barbie pink. These lipsticks get everywhere (unlike the matte formula). They will stain coffee cups etc but since there's so much pigment it will still last for at least 6 hours on me.
Overall, I think these lipsticks are really worth a try and I am looking forward to expanding my collection of these :-)
I got this in #39 which is a very beautiful coral. This lipstick has a full blast of color with just one swipe. the bad thing about it is that its soooo drying. Tsk.

This is a fantastic product!!! I bought it in #50 (satin black) and it has been great. The color is incredibly opaque and requires no layering whatsoever; I'm not sure of the exact wear-time but it's pretty long-lasting, and will stay on through meals if you're careful. Application is *super* easy, I just swiped it on straight from the tube after lining my lips. It's not a very moisturizing lipstick, but it doesn't dehydrate at all either, and it doesn't bleed or crack or migrate to the edges of my lips like some lipsticks do. It is pretty expensive, but TOTALLY worth it (this is coming from the girl who mostly buys drugstore makeup!). A little goes a long way, so the tube should last you quite a while, and it's an absolutely wonderful product. MUFE also has a great selection of other colors if you don't go for black.

Sounds like fun! I'm also from the Baltimore area and would welcome a meet - perhaps at the American History Museum in DC if they still have the Disney exibit up.
So I was thinking that maybe we could do a DC Metro Area meet. Maybe meet in either NOVA or somewhere in Southern Maryland for a meet! I'm from Baltimore so getting to DC is pretty easy for me! What does anyone else from the area think??
Sounds like fun! I'm also from the Baltimore area and would welcome a meet - perhaps at the American History Museum in DC if they still have the Disney exibit up.
I am. Any date ideas?
A fun idea would be the ice skate rink that they put up near/in the sculpture garden in DC! I don't think that it goes up till December or so due to the temperature. I'm pretty open on dates as long as it is not a Sunday!
anyone have any dates?
I just had a spectacular idea - what about we get together to celebrate Walt's birthday on Saturday December 5th?!?!?
It would be fun to get together, have birthday cake (Lou would be so proud with the focus on food ), and have a good time!
Any thoughts?
Ok....taking the reigns on this I guess....
Why don't we go for 12/5 at the little cafe that is at the sculpture garden fountain/ice rink at 11AM? The cafe is located just east of the Museum of Natural History on the other side of 9th street.
I thought that it would be neat if we all brought cup cakes decorated in our own tribute to Walt to share with each other. That way, no one has to lug a sheet cake with them and we can all celebrate and enjoy each other's inginuity and creativity!
After meeting up, and of course, chowing on some yummy cup cakes, we could then head over to the Museum of American History, if wanted, and check out the Disneyland display. The display is pretty small - just a Teacup & Dumbo ride vehicles and a small case with some memorabilia from when Disneyland opened.
Tell me what you think!
Any thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?
Hey Everyone! Is anyone out there still interested in doing the meet in DC? Let me know what you think about my idea of celebrating Walt's birthday. I would love to meet up with a few of you and share cupcakes and the like!
Excellent disneymaniac87!!! What do you say lorilovestigger? bater8slater? All you people lurking? Let's get a good group of people together to have a great time!

The Mask is a 1994 American superhero fantasy action comedy film based on a series of comic books published by Dark Horse Comics. This film was directed by Chuck Russell, and produced by Dark Horse Entertainment and New Line Cinema, and originally released to movie theatres on July 29, 1994. The film stars Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss, a man who finds the Mask of Loki that turns him into The Mask, a grinning, magically-powered trickster uninhibited by anything, including physical reality. The film's supporting cast includes Peter Greene as mafia officer Dorian Tyrell, Amy Yasbeck as a newspaper reporter, Peter Riegert and Jim Doughan as police detectives, Richard Jeni as Stanley's friend, Orestes Matacena as nightclub owner and mafia boss Niko, Ben Stein as a psychologist, and Cameron Diaz in her feature film debut as Stanley's love interest Tina Carlyle.
The movie was among the top ten moneymakers of its year, cemented Carrey's reputation as one of the dominant comedic actors of the era, and established Diaz as a major starlet immediately, who would go on to have a long career as a leading lady. Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role, and the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, but lost to Forrest Gump.
Shy and luckless clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) works at an Edge City bank. He is tormented by nearly everyone except for his Jack Russell Terrier Milo and his co-worker Charlie Schumaker (Richard Jeni). Meanwhile, gangster Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene) operates a nightclub called the Coco Bongo while plotting to overthrow his Greek boss Niko (Orestes Matacena). Tyrell sends his singer girlfriend Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz) into Stanley's bank to record its layout, in preparation to rob the bank. Stanley is attracted to Tina, and she seems to reciprocate. After being denied entrance to the Coco Bongo, he finds a mysterious wooden mask near the city's harbor. Placing it on his face transforms him into a zoot-suited, green-faced, bizarre trickster known as The Mask, who is able to cartoonishly alter himself and his surroundings at will. The transformed Stanley exacts revenge on some of his tormentors, including the auto mechanics who had ripped him off the night before and his bullying landlord Mrs. Peenman (Nancy Fish). When a street gang attempts to rob him, he scares them by turning a balloon into a Tommy gun.
The next morning, Stanley encounters Lieutenant Kellaway (Peter Riegert), Detective Doyle (Jim Doughan), and newspaper reporter Peggy Brandt (Amy Yasbeck) investigating The Mask's activity. Despite being sought by the police, he again becomes The Mask in order to steal money targeted by Tyrell and attend Tina's performance. At the Coco Bongo, The Mask dances exuberantly with Tina, whom he ends up kissing. Following a confrontation with Tyrell, The Mask flees, leaving behind a scrap of cloth belonging to himself. Kellaway suspects that Stanley is behind the bank robbery, but Stanley dissuades him. Stanley consults an expert on masks named Dr. Arthur Neuman (Ben Stein), who tells him that the object is a depiction of Loki, the Norse god of darkness and mischief. Still later, Stanley transforms into The Mask again and meets Tina at the local Landfill Park. He is interrupted by Kellaway and Doyle, who attempt to arrest him. However The Mask distracts them by tricking a large group of Edge City police officers into joining him in a mass performance of the Desi Arnaz song "Cuban Pete". Stanley flees with Peggy, but he is betrayed to Tyrell for a $50,000 bounty.
Tyrell tries on the mask and becomes a malevolent green-faced being. Forced to reveal the location of the stolen money, Stanley is kept hostage in one of the mob's cars while Tyrell's henchmen reclaim the money. Stanley is later handed over to Kellaway and Doyle, along with a green rubber mask, to be detained. When Tina visits Stanley in his cell, he urges her to flee the city. Tina thanks Stanley for treating her with respect and tells him that she knew that he was The Mask all along. She tries to leave the city, but is captured by Orlando and Tyrell. They take her to a charity ball hosted by Niko and attended by the city's elite, including the city's mayor, Mitchell Tilton (Ivory Ocean). At the ball, the masked Tyrell kills Niko and prepares to destroy both the club and Tina. Milo helps Stanley escape from prison, and bringing Kellaway as a cover and hostage, they go to the club to stop Tyrell. After briefly securing the assistance of Charlie, Stanley is spotted by Orlando and captured. Tina tricks Tyrell into taking off the mask, which is recovered and donned by Milo, turning the dog into a cartoonish pitbull who defeats Tyrell's men while Stanley fights Tyrell.
After recovering the mask, Stanley uses its abilities to save Tina by swallowing Tyrell's bomb and flushing Tyrell down the drain of the club's ornamental fountain. The police arrive and arrest Tyrell's remaining henchmen, while Kellaway and Doyle try to arrest Stanley again claiming his real identity as The Mask. Mayor Tilton arrives and debunks Kellaway's claims by announcing that Tyrell was The Mask the whole time because he was one of the victims that was taken hostage by the thug at Coco Bongo. He tells Stanley that he is a hero, thanks him for saving lives, and orders the police to release him. In a desperate attempt to prove Stanley was The Mask, Kellaway and Doyle try to claim off Milo for assisting in his escape, but Tilton is not in the mood for their antics. He goes on to say that he will need to meet with both men in his office the next morning to discuss their early retirement. All charges against Stanley are dropped, while Kellaway and Doyle must face Tipton's judgment.
The next day, as the sun rises, Stanley, Tina, Milo, and Charlie take the mask back down to the harbor. Tina throws the mask into the water, and she and Stanley celebrate their victory with a kiss. Charlie tries to retrieve the mask for himself, only to find Milo swimming away with it. Carrey then shouts out 'SMOKIN', showing that he never needed the mask all along.
- Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss / The Mask. Jim Carrey, who portrays Stanley Ipkiss, commented that he characterized Stanley after his own father: "a nice guy, just trying to get by". When Ipkiss puts on the Mask, he becomes a suave cartoon figure having the ability to manipulate his own shape and the world around him to a superhuman extent.
- Cameron Diaz as Tina Carlyle, the girlfriend of mobster Dorian Tyrell who is largely dissatisfied with Dorian as a partner, but does not deny him until courted by his rival. This role marked the feature film debut for Cameron Diaz. Before Diaz was cast, the studio considered casting Anna Nicole Smith, Vanessa L. Williams and Kristy Swanson.
- Peter Greene as Dorian Tyrell, a mafia officer and the main antagonist of the film, who desires to kill his superior and take over the city's underworld while pursuing the Mask's power and avoiding Lt. Kellaway.
- Richard Jeni as Charlie Schumaker, Stanley's best friend and colleague. Charlie is amiable, but can be selfish or irrational at times.
- Peter Riegert as Lieutenant Mitch Kellaway, a slightly cynical police detective who pursues the Mask, Dorian, and Niko throughout the film.
- Jim Doughan as Detective Doyle, Lt. Kellaway's slightly-inept partner.
- Amy Yasbeck as Peggy Brandt, a reporter with a crush on Stanley. In an earlier draft, the character is killed by Dorian when first transformed by the Mask.
- Orestes Matacena as Niko, the Greek mafia boss of Edge City and owner of the Coco Bongo Club.
- Nancy Fish as Mrs. Peenman, Stanley's cantankerous land-lady.
- Tim Bagley as Irv Ripley, Mechanic on Ipkiss's car and Burt's brother.
- Johnny Williams as Burt Ripley, Mechanic on Ipkiss's car and Irv's brother.
- Reginald E. Cathey as Freeze, Dorian Tyrell's bodyguard and best friend.
- Denis Forest as Sweet Eddy, one of Tyrell's thugs.
- Ivory Ocean as Mayor Mitchell Tilton
- Joely Fisher as Maggie, a female friend of Stanley's
- Ben Stein as Dr. Arthur Neuman, a psychologist who tells Ipkiss of the Mask being representative of Loki. He is the only character to appear in both The Mask and its sequel Son of the Mask.
- Jeremy Roberts as Bobby the Bouncer
The film was a box-office success, grossing $119 million domestically and over $350 million worldwide,[1] becoming the second-highest grossing superhero movie at that time, behind Batman. Even though it has been out-grossed by several superhero movies throughout the years, it remains immensely popular, especially among children. The film also received positive reviews from critics, including Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, who gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, noting Jim Carrey for his "joyful performance."[2] The Mask is one of three films featuring Carrey (the others being Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber) released in 1994 that helped launch the actor to superstardom, though The Mask was the most successful of these three films both critically and commercially. The film is also notable for immediately establishing Diaz - previously a complete unknown - as a major star in Hollywood as well. The film is also considered a cult classic.
The film was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 67th Academy Awards, but lost to Forrest Gump. In addition, Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe. Conversely, he was also nominated for a Razzie Award for "Worst New Star".
It currently holds a 77% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a consensus stating "It misses perhaps as often as it hits, but Carrey's manic bombast, Diaz's blowsy appeal, and the film's overall cartoony bombast keep The Mask afloat."[3]
On the television program Siskel & Ebert, the critics gave the film "two thumbs up" and the movie went on their list of "Best of 1994".
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, it has a rating score of 56, indicating "mixed or average reviews" based on 12 reviews.

Home video[edit]
The film was released on VHS and Laserdisc (and later on DVD) by New Line Home Video. The VHS version included an interview between Jim Carrey and Space Ghost, as a promotion for their corporate sibling Cartoon Network's Space Ghost Coast to Coast after the film. It also had a trailer for Jim Carrey's then-upcoming film, Dumb and Dumber, and ads for the soundtrack to the film, and for what was then branded as Betty Crocker Pop Secret. It was later released on Blu-ray Disc on December 9, 2008.[6] It has an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is encoded in 1080p/VC-1. Its audio is a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD encoded at a 16 bit / 48 kHz sample rate. Special features include additional scenes, production details and two commentary tracks, one by director Chuck Russell and the other by the rest of the production crew.
Not long after the release of The Mask, it was announced in Nintendo Power that Carrey would be returning in a sequel called The Mask II. The magazine held a contest, with the winner being an extra in the film, but, due to Jim Carrey declining to reprise his role, the project never came to fruition. In a 1995 Barbara Walters Special, Carrey revealed that he was offered what would be a record-setting sum of $10 million to star in The Mask II, but turned it down, because his experiences on Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls convinced him that reprising a character he'd previously played offered him no challenges as an actor.
After this, an animated series called The Mask: The Animated Series was released and ran for two seasons. Starring Rob Paulsen as Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask, it eliminated the character of Tina and added a new archenemy named Pretorious (Tim Curry). Some ideas for The Mask II made it into the animated series.
An unrelated sequel, Son of the Mask, was released in theaters in February 2005. The sequel was a box-office bomb and was universally panned by critics. It received 8 nominations at the 2005 Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Jamie Kennedy), Worst Supporting Actor (Alan Cumming and Bob Hoskins, respectively), Worst Director (Lawrence Guterman), Worst Remake or Sequel, Worst Screenplay (Lance Khazei) and Worst Screen Couple (Jamie Kennedy and Anybody Stuck Sharing the Screen with Him).

The Silca Pista
Of all the tools I have purchased for bike maintenance, my Silca Pista is the single oldest item I own. It's reliable like a good dog. Like a dog, it's not free, and it requires some work, but its operation is so familiar as to provide comfort.
Between all the different bikes I've owned, reviewed or wrenched on plus those bikes of teammates I've raced with, I estimate I've used it to take tires up to 8 bar more than 15,000 times.
I've had it so long, were it human it would be emancipated. At this point, it's a bit like a commercial aircraft; The only parts I haven't replaced are the base, barrel, handle and chuck. Hoses, grommets, gaskets, plungers and more, I've replaced everything else on this pump at least once. The miracle is that I have at times purchased new parts before actually needing them and then—after a year or three—have been able to find them to install.
There are pumps with bigger bases, bigger handles, larger diameter barrels, bigger gauges, but the Silca Pista remains my standard. Give me a smooth valve stem and a little shoulder room and I think I could run a kids' balloon party.
Companies keep trying to top this baby but a quick lesson in physics taught me why larger diameter barrels don't improve pumps; they actually increase the amount of force necessary to reach a given pressure. Not so bueno for cyclists who have the upper bodies of a T-Rex minus the green and the scales. That Columbus tube is laudable not for its pedigreed manufacturer, but rather its small diameter.
I'll put it this way: If you ever enter my garage and can't find my Silca Pista, call 911, because it's been stolen.
The Rules
As riders there are rules we obey without even thinking. No tube socks. No spitting into the wind. No bare knees when it's cold. We make our Saturday rides and find ways to get our miles in even with the pressures of work and family. Some weeks are better than others, but we are defined not by the deviation, rather the aspiration. It is the rule that tells who we are.
Does anyone really need more rules in life? The reasonable answer would seem to be no, but the rules we use can reveal a lot about our ability to judge the situations in which we find ourselves.
Are all Saturdays created equal? Must Saturday mean at least 75 miles and a few thousand feet of climbing, or is every fourth Saturday dialed back for rest?
If there is a break off the front, do we chase? Is there a teammate in the break? Is the 11 the right choice on a wet descent? Do we ride injured or sick because we can't give up the miles?
Our constant reassessment of road conditions, the group, our own legs are—no matter how much we aim to impose our will on the bike, on the ride—a sign of humility. I once heard on the news a political analyst who specialized in the Middle East. He said, "Well the first thing you have to understand about the region is that every statement you make begins with, 'it depends.'" To me, it was a sign of true insight.
Every new lesson I learn results in a new rule. Maybe it's a sign of aging—that I don't have the strength of will I used to possess—but I think my riding is more a test of my knowledge and experience now. My own wisdom has overcome my loss of youth.
But there is one riding rule I've come to value, even to cherish, and it's not about riding at all, even though I learned it from the Grand Tour riders. It's about saving. For them, it was saving something for tomorrow, next week. For me, yes, it means saving something for tomorrow, but more importantly, it means saving time for my family, saving some energy for the rest of the day, saving myself so I can be fully present for those who love me. We're not much different from soda: That first sip is sweet, but no one wants the empty can.

Collision Course: Advertising and Enthusiast Publishing
Enthusiast publications confront a fundamental problem at the very outset of their existence. Whether the magazine or web site covers bicycles, guns or cars, much—if not most—of its revenue will come from advertisers. Keeping those advertisers happy can be a challenge, even if its products are good. One lousy (or just substandard) product followed by an honest review can see ad revenue dry up faster than British humor in the summer sun.
The Los Angeles Times' Pulitzer Prize-winning car reviewer, Dan Neil, once stoned (verbally, mind you) a GM vehicle and suggested that some of the company's top brass were out of touch and didn't much deserve their jobs. He stopped short of asking for their heads on pikes, but anyone who read the reviews heard that between the lines.
GM pulled their ad dollars and asked for Neil's head on a pike.
Surf magazines have generally skirted this issue by forgoing reviews of surf equipment; most surf magazines just don't review surf boards. Bike magazines arouse suspicion in their readers by finding all bikes to be stiff at the bottom bracket while offering stellar vertical compliance. The products that most reviewers don't like usually have at least one detail in common—the manufacturer isn't an advertiser.
How did this situation arise? It's hard to say, but one practice helped corrupt the relationship between publisher and advertiser. It used to be that there was a separation between church and state: editorial didn't know what advertising was up to and advertising didn't poke their head into content. Somewhere along the line the ad sales director realized that if he knew about positive editorial ahead of time, those mentions could be leveraged to sell more ads. Editors were forced to plan issues in advance and tell advertising what those plans were. Naturally, there was pressure to say who was getting positive, rather than negative, mentions.
The fouling of the tide pool came when advertising started asking for specific products to be reviewed and to make sure those reviews were positive. At times, it's possible to have a mutually beneficial relationship between ad and edit. In a small staff, both can serve as eyes for the other. Many times I've told ad sales guys about someone doing interesting work who seems to be well-capitalized. Other times I've had ad sales guys come to me and tell me about a new bike, new energy bar or other new product. I'm a bike guy; I love hearing about new stuff.
I've had conversations with some manufacturers and they made it clear that they believed the bigger the ad they purchased, the better my review would—or should—be. I've yet to meet someone who held this belief who believed me when I told them I didn't play that game. In more than 18 years of writing about cycling, I've had exactly one instance where I was instructed, yes, INSTRUCTED, to change what I wrote. In that case, I was told to soften a negative review. It was, coincidentally, the most overwhelmingly negative review I'd ever written. The energy bar in question failed just fine without my input.
When I launched Asphalt Magazine, I decided my job was to excite the reader about cycling. Given a reader's busy day, the few hours each week that can be spent reading a bike magazine ought to reinforce the idea that cycling is the best feature of his or her life, outside of family. In talking with manufacturers I balanced my need to be honest with their need to have positive editorial by telling them, 'If something seems substandard or if I just plain don't like it and can't see beyond my prejudice, I will send it back to you with my suggestions. I won't lambaste you in my pages.'
Radio Freddy and I had many conversations about new directions that Belgium Knee Warmers might take. Several companies expressed some interest in advertising with BKW. Radio Freddy and I talked about the backlash we might see in the readership by moving from no advertising to taking ads. It's reasonable for readers to wonder if the sudden introduction of advertising into a blog will change the content out of a concern to keep the advertisers happy.
I decided I was willing to risk a readership backlash in order to meet other goals I had for our content.
BKW readers have seen the blog go silent for days, sometimes weeks at a time. We never offered an explanation, but you might have guessed why. As we weren't making a dime from BKW, jobs and family sometimes precluded us from devoting time to something we loved enough to do for free.
Advertising isn't going to change what we write. I've never been interested in pursuing the Consumer Reports angle of product testing and the bike industry doesn't present too many opportunities for Time-like investigative journalism. Unsafe products are few and far between and our only negative or critical posts are generally confined to the issue of doping. That won't change.
Advertising dollars will give Red Kite Prayer the opportunity to recruit more contributors on a more consistent basis and it will give me the needed justification to devote more time to what has become the most enjoyable and challenging work I do.
As I write this, we have yet to sign a single ad contract. Even so, I know the short list of companies that are the likely advertisers for the site. Those companies that choose to advertise with us will wind up getting some very favorable edit. I won't be shilling for anyone; rather, the support we receive is an endorsement of the content we provide. I can think of no higher compliment than to have some of the industry's top manufacturers say they support the work we do. Well, almost.
The best compliment we've gotten is your readership.
The Red Kite Prayer
The final kilometer of Classics and Grand Tour stages is marked with an archway from which hangs the flamme rouge—the red kite. Its passage marks the greatest drama of the race, a ratcheting up of tension and anticipation that culminates in the winner's celebration.
Of course, the red kite holds different meanings for each rider. For the time trialists, it's the last chance to attack and beat the sprinters at their own game. For the leadout men, there's a final dig before pulling off to the let sprinter shine. For the sprinters, that red kite is a signal that their moment is less than two minutes to come. For much of the field, it's simply the signal that the pain is nearly at an end.
What unites each of them is a moment that inevitably comes after passing under the red kite. Each rider will bow his head as he summons the last of his strength for the finish. It's the same bowing of the head that recreational riders will make before rolling to the finish of a century.
Summoning the strength to make a final surge to the finish is as universal as the urge to finish; no one wants to roll across the line in defeat and that final effort is the chance to accelerate to a personal victory that comes from the satisfaction of knowing you left everything on the course.
The psychology of riders can rarely be guessed, but the red kite prayer is a moment we all share, a search for our remaining strength as we summon the will to leave it on the road.

Terry Allen's on top with 'Bottom'
LC Media
January 17, 2013 | Updated: January 17, 2013 5:44pm
When Terry Allen last found himself talking about a new album, Bill Clinton was the president and Allen's dog Queenie had not yet been shot. Allen released "Salivation" 14 years ago, but his cheekily titled 1998 album did not prompt an idle period. Always a multiple disciplinary artist, Allen - both a Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellow - has spent much of the past decade immersed in visual art and theater, some of which can be found in the coffee-table book "Terry Allen," which the University of Texas Press published in 2010.To continue reading this story, you will need to be a digital subscriber to HoustonChronicle.com.

Tour Master Sonora Air Mesh Jacket For Women Reviews :
Comment: I'm really impressed with this jacket. It is well designed and comfortable. Sizes run true as well. I like the cut of this jacket better than the Intake series as this is a 3/4 length jacket and does not ride up to my waist, it stays down over my hips. Plenty of conveniently located pockets. Plenty warm enough with both liners for 40 degree weather. No drafts. I highly recommend this jacket. The only drawback is that it weighs quite a bit.
Comment: I'm a man, but bought the Sonora Air Mesh in the Hi-Vis color and Womens Large size, because, after trying on 6-7 other jackets, this one fit perfect! I'm 5'10" at 165 lbs. with dimensions of 40 chest, 32 waist, 39 hips. (My wife kindly says I have an "athletic build", but I'm just skinny. ;-) This is the 4th mesh jacket I've owned over the decades. Quality seems excellent so far, but I've only used it a few months now in the fall/winter in Atlanta. Without the liners, it's comfortable down to 60deg, and with rain liner, down to 40deg. This is on a BMW K1200S with a slightly higher than stock windscreen. Haven't had to use the warm liner yet; and of course, haven't tested the jacket in HotLanta's summer heat yet either. It is significantly heavier than previous mesh jackets I've owned from Joe Rocket and FirstGear. Not sure why, but perhaps due to all the extra pockets, most of which I don't need and won't use as I'm primarily a commuter rider and always have a tank bag and saddle bags on my bikes. I've deducted a half-star because of this weight, and because I suspect those excess pockets may impair some air flow in the 95deg heat of summer.

Radiohead's House Of Cards In LEGO Form!
Remember Radiohead's House of Cards video that was shot with lasers instead of cameras and then all the data was made available to everyone to do whatever they wanted to with it? Well Ian Mackinnon took that data and rendered the video in 3D using LEGOs. Wicked! I embedded the video in high-quality because the low-quality one was looking kind of blurry, but it's still not super. But hey, we work with what we're given, don't we? You wouldn't ask someone you allegedly love to use a pump, would you? No, because you respect what they were given. Even if they are 26 cards short of a deck. HIYO -- card tie-in!

Looking for car stereos?
Start shopping2003-06 Jeep Wrangler
2003 • 2004 • 2005 • 2006
Traditionally, great sound and Jeep Wranglers have not gone hand in hand, but this particular Wrangler actually gives you some pretty cool options for building a rockin' audio system. You'll find enough room in the dash and sound bar for just about any replacement speakers, and some interesting options for bass, ranging from replacing the sub in the center console to amplified subs that fit behind the rear seat. With a little bit of work, you can fit any DIN (2" tall) radio in the dash. That's really good news compared to Wranglers and CJ Series Jeeps of the past, which were definitely not built with audio excellence in mind.
2003 Jeep Wrangler (Crutchfield Research Photo) |
Factory System
This Jeep Wrangler came with an AM/FM/CD receiver and offered two speaker options.
4-speaker system: two 4" 2-way speakers in the dash and two 5-1/4" speakers in the roll bar;
7-speaker system: two 4" speakers with accompanying tweeters in the dash, two 5-1/4" speakers in the roll bar, and a 6-3/4" sub in the center console.
Tools Needed:
- To install a new stereo, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver, a 10mm socket wrench, and a panel tool.
- To replace the speakers, you'll just need a Phillips screwdriver.
- To access and replace the subwoofer, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, a panel tool, a 10mm socket wrench (with ratchet and extension), T20 and T30 Torx drivers, and a pair of needle nose pliers.

Replacing the factory radio
There's only about 6" of space behind the dash, but you can unbolt and remove the factory radio's rear support without too much trouble, giving you plenty of room for any DIN-size radio. You'll need a mounting kit to trim out the new radio, a wiring harness that allows you to connect your new radio without having to cut the factory wiring, and an antenna adapter that connects your Jeep antenna to the new radio. (Crutchfield includes these installation parts free with most orders, along with our step-by-step MasterSheet™ instructions for your Wrangler.)

Steering wheel audio controls
Two companies (PAC and Axxess) make adapters that allow you to connect your Wrangler's steering wheel audio controls to a new car stereo. In order to install the PAC, you'll have to go to the steering column to access the analog control wire. We recommend the Axxess self-programming ASWC-1 adapter for this Jeep, as it'll tap directly into the data wire in the dash — a much easier installation.
Replacing the factory speakers
4-speaker system
This Jeep will accept both 4" and 4"x6" speakers in the dash with the help of mounting brackets, and 5-1/4" speakers in the sound bar. It's a good idea to get speaker harnesses along with your new speakers. They'll allow you to attach the new speakers to the plugs that connect to the Jeep's factory speakers, and they make it easier to reinstall the factory speakers if you ever sell your truck (Crutchfield includes these brackets and speaker wiring harnesses with every speaker order).
You have plenty of options for replacement speakers, as there's plenty of room in both locations. Your Wrangler may not have speakers in the dash, in which case you'll have to go to your Jeep dealer for speaker grilles and brackets. Many Wrangler owners who drive with their top off choose marine-certified speakers that won't be bothered by an occasional shower or condensation.
Factory front speakers in 7-speaker system (Crutchfield Research Photo) |
7-speaker system
Front speakers: Each of the front dash openings houses a 4" speaker and a tweeter, and you can access the location by removing two small screws. The easiest upgrade is to install 4" coaxial speakers and remove the factory tweeters. If you're willing to do a little work, you can put a nice set of 4" components up front, but you'll have to fashion mounting plates for aftermarket tweeters. You can also add 4"x6" speakers in the location. Most will fit there, with or without a plate. You'll need a bracket for pretty much any installation in this spot.
Sound bar speakers: You only have to remove a few screws to replace these speakers, and you have enough room for almost any 5-1/4" speakers to fit.
Custom speaker installations
Since it's such a popular vehicle, the Wrangler has several options available for putting speakers in other locations. These options also let you use larger 6-1/2" speakers, rather than being limited to 4" or 5-1/4" sizes.
Q-Forms: Q-Logic builds Q-Forms for the Jeep Wrangler, unloaded enclosures that install down in the Jeep's kick panels, housing 6-1/2" components. |
Mod-Pods: Select Increments offers the Mod-Pods for the Wrangler, unloaded enclosures that hold 5-1/4" speakers just below the Jeep's doors. |
Quad-Pods: Select Increments also builds Quad-Pods for the Wrangler, unloaded enclosures that hold 6-1/2" speakers and 8" subs in the Jeep's back corners. |
Bass in your Wrangler
4-speaker system
Lots of Wrangler owners install an amp and sub enclosure in the area behind the seats. If you like to get a lot of mud on your Wrangler, it's a good idea to splice connectors into the power and speaker wires so you can quickly remove your sub from the back of your Jeep when you're heading out on the trail. You'll also appreciate the quick disconnect if you're headed to a risky area and don't want someone walking off with your gear.
You'll also find a wide range of subwoofer options available. Select Increments makes the Stealth-Pod, an enclosure that bolts onto the back door and holds a 10" sub of your choice.

MTX also makes a variety of dual 10" amplified and unamplified enclosures that fit behind the back seat. If you're into building your own enclosure, here's the available space: Width (side to side) = 35", Height = 15", Depth (front to rear) = 7" at top, 10" at bottom. The height measurement brings the box even with the top of tailgate.
7-speaker system
You'll have to remove the center console to replace the factory subwoofer, not a difficult job, but it'll take some time. Here are the dimensions for this factory sub location:
- Mounting depth: 2.789 inches
- Magnet diameter: 4.178 inches
- Mounting height: 0.712 inches
You may have to re-drill screw holes, but you should be able to find a small 6-1/2" or 6-3/4" sub that's within these dimensions. And, as long as you're going to drop an upgraded sub in the console, you might as well put a small amp under the seat to give it some decent power. If you're keeping the factory amp, you'll want to replace the factory dual 2-ohm voice coil sub with another DVC sub so you don't lose power.

Other Options
Digital Signal Processor
If modifying your ride just isn't in your DNA, Helix offers another option for Wranglers without factory amplifiers. The Helix PP50DSP processor to make a dramatic improvement in the sound of your factory system. It works like this: you buy the processor, along with a vehicle-specific cable and a plug-in powered sub. The cable plugs into your factory radio's plug, connecting the processor/amp to your factory speakers. Next, go to Helix's site, download your vehicle's audio parameters onto a microSD card, then load that info into the amp/processor. The PP50DSP is now ready to use equalization and time alignment to make your factory speakers sound great. Add in the bass from the optional Helix sub, and you've got a total system upgrade with minimal work.
If you're installing a remote start system, we recommend the FLCAN interface (Crutchfield item 220FLCAN). Otherwise, no interface is needed.
I'm OK with the power of the Jeep system, but I'm constantly turning up the bass control trying to get more punch. What should I do?
You might try adding a powered sub first. Cranking up the bass control puts a huge strain on your Jeep's radio, and the extra bass produced by a sub allows you to turn the bass control back down so you get more usable power from your radio. The extra bass will also make your factory speakers sound better when you're driving with the top off.
My Jeep's system sounds cool in the driveway but it's useless at 55 mph with all the road noise. What should I replace first?
Whatever you replace, you should definitely buy an amplifier because clean power is what you need. The amplifiers that are built into car stereos are relatively low-powered — an outboard amp will give you more headroom so your system can coast along instead of straining to create the level you need on the highway.
I don't want to put a new radio in my Jeep, but my music doesn't sound that great. Will new speakers help?
Absolutely. If you're going to keep your factory radio, look for speakers that are efficient (sensitivity rating over 90 dB). Spend a little more money on the 5-1/4" speakers that are going over your head — a good tweeter will bring out all the details in your music without taking your head off.
