Seen at the Movies:
I've expended a lot of energy over the years excoriating Lars von Trier's mannered filmmaking and what I perceived to be his borderline Victorian attitudes towards women; let's just say I found Breaking the Waves and especially Dancer in the Dark to be excruciating movie experiences. So I was prepped for von Trier's latest, Dogville, which features yet another put-upon female, this time portrayed by Nicole Kidman. Advance word of the three-hour film's bare-bones style—it unfolds in its entirety on a stage set stripped bare of walls and most furnishings, with chalk marks on the floor indicating same—and of its shrill anti-Americanism had me looking forward to another round of misery.
Well, preconceptions don't always carry the day, because I actually found Dogville to be thoroughly gripping. The Brechtian/Our Town-style staging, complete with theatrical sound and lighting effects, is fascinating, and actually helps one accept the conceit that one's looking at a Depression-era Rocky Mountain town, which could really be any town on the planet. Kidman, who gives what I think is her strongest, most subtle and varied performance ever, plays Grace, a beautiful if bedraggled woman on the run who turns up in Dogville seeking shelter. The townspeople are persuaded by young idealist Tom Edison (Paul Bettany) to welcome Grace into their fold, and to express her gratitude she takes on odd jobs for each of them. The initial harmony of the situation turns sour, however, when the citizens of Dogville come to view Grace's offerings as their due, and expect more. By the film's third act, Grace has descended into a state of physical and sexual slavery…but unlike the heroines of von Trier's last two films, she will be given a chance to exact her revenge.

Dogville benefits in equal measure from the close-in, handheld work of DP Anthony Dod Mantle, shooting in HD, and from the sensitive molding of seasons and time of day by lighting designer Asa Frankenberg. Their work is subtly enhanced by visual effects supervisor Peter Hjorth's digital layering in certain sequences. Production designer Peter Grant helps make the absence of scenery a presence, revealing the town in all its features and activity at all times. The understated costumes are designed by Manon Rasmussen. I also have to mention the extraordinary cast, which includes Lauren Bacall (playing a character named Ma Ginger), Patricia Clarkson, Stellan Skarsgard, Chloe Sevigny, Blair Brown, Harriet Andersson, and James Caan. As for the anti-Americanism, I think it's too narrow an assessment of what the film reveals--Dogville is actually an indictment of human nature, of what people tend to do when they get a little power.
The New Directors/New Film Series, a co-venture of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art, opened Wednesday with Jim McKay's Everyday People, the slice-of-life story of a Brooklyn restaurant on the verge of closing. I admired McKay's last Brooklyn-set film, Our Song, but found Everyday People to be somewhat disappointing. It's agreeably acted by an ensemble cast, and it's given a vibrant texture by DP Russell Lee Fine, but McKay overwrites, providing each character with position papers on race, class, neighborhood gentrification, and other issues to deliver. This weekend's festival entries include two buzzed about films, The Story of the Weeping Camel from Mongolia, and Seducing Doctor Lewis from Canada, plus Dig!, a prize-winning documentary at Sundance about the contemporary rock music scene.

Ernest Dickerson's Never Die Alone is an oddity, an updated hip-hop version of Donald Goines' 1974 noir novel that seems unmoored in time and place. I found the story, which features David Arquette as a journalist investigating the death of charismatic gangster DMX, to be more than a little ridiculous, but the movie has style to burn. DP Matthew Libatique goes in for expressionistic camera angles and color saturation that make Never Die Alone always interesting to watch, if not to listen to. Costume designer Marie France contributes the slick duds, and production designer Christiaan Wagener exploits downtown L.A. for its nowhere feel.--John Calhoun

Seen at The Met Things have been pretty interesting at The Metropolitan Opera this season, and a real feather in their cap is the new production of Richard Strauss's Salome with the fantastic new star, Karita Mattila. She is so wonderful that even the Met's audiences didn't seem to mind that the production is performed on a modern set with a mix of modern dress costumes, all designed by Santo Loquasto. The set includes an intriguing house or party place where King Herod is entertaining and his wife's daughter, Salome, is the center of attention. Let's assume this place is Herod's castle, rising majestically from the sand dunes of the desert. A large curved wall seems to be covered with fiery red tile, a nice contrast to the sandy dunes on the other side of the stage. One staircase, hidden behind the wall, leads to an upper level, while a second staircase with a contemporary stainless steel or chrome railing, leads to a lower level where the guests seem to gather when not on stage. In front of the dunes is a contraption that sits above the cistern where John The Baptist is imprisoned, with planks of wood over the hole. The dunes, looking almost like cartoon cut-outs, are hard enough to walk and stand on, and at several different moments there are angels of death, dressed as men of the desert in black robes and turbans and adorned with large feathery wings. When all seven of them are perched atop the dunes, the effect is a very striking tableau. The costumes range from dusty army uniforms to Orthodox Jewish men in their black coats and hats. These figures contrast greatly to Salome and the other party guests: she is wearing a sexy white evening gown while her friends wear gowns and bathing suits — perhaps this is a pool party but I could not see a pool from where I was sitting — and the men are in tuxedos. Salome later changes into a silver tux herself with a layered black bodice that she strips out of piece by piece, as she dances the dance of the seven veils (choreographed by Doug Varone) until she bares all for a second (did I say nudity at The Met?) and is wrapped in a big bathrobe. What a dance, and what a performance, all accented by the lighting designed by Jim Ingalls who dappled the dunes with the hot sun, and added a contemporary look under the patio or pool deck with a stripe of purple (neon or LED perhaps). All in all, this brief one hour and 40 minute production is a perfect example of updating an opera successfully. I'd like to see more like this, and look forward to seeing this one again. —Ellen Lampert-Gréaux
Salome at The Met
Seen off Broadway: What with Joan Crawford and the late Mercedes McCambridge as gun-toting sparring partners, gobs of Freudianism and anti-McCarthyism, and "cowboys dying with the grace of ballet dancers" (in the admiring words of director Francois Truffaut) it's no surprise that someone would set Johnny Guitar, the daffy cult Western from 1954, to music. The big surprise is that it wasn't Charles Busch, Lypsinka, or Joey Arias, who incarnates Joan with every sneer and shoulderpad intact in the annual Christmas with the Crawfords revue, who drew first on Nicholas Ray's curious masterpiece. Outside of a few broad asides (like the tumbleweed, pulled by a wire, which skitters across the stage as the show opens), Johnny Guitar: The Musical hasn't been reconceived as a complete camp fest.
Embattled New Mexico saloonkeeper Vienna (Crawford) and her nemesis, arch-conservative rabble rouser Emma (McCambridge) are played, pistols packin', by two actual women (Judy McLane and Ann Crumb) and not a pair of drag queens. Realizing there was little way to improve on the purple passions of Philip Yordan's screenplay ("How many men have you forgotten?" quizzes Johnny Guitar, a gunfighter who's foresworn shooting for strumming, of his old flame Vienna. "As many women as you remember," she replies. Later, "He makes her feel like a woman, and that frightens her," deduces Vienna of Emma's repressed lust for the rascally outlaw the Dancin' Kid, one of Vienna's more-or-less forgotten men. And so on…) producer and book writer Nicholas Van Hoogstraten has left it largely intact. Gone are Victor Young's brooding score and the classic Peggy Lee theme song, replaced by mock Marty Robbins-type tunes supplied by director and composer Joel Higgins, forever to be associated with the terminally bland 80's sitcom Silver Spoons. His music here is pretty vanilla, too—respectfully over-the-top, a contradiction in terms that prevents Johnny Guitar from being much more than agreeable light entertainment for cinematic saddletramps and greenhorns new to the material. And for that I was grateful, given how painful it could have been, in the manner of so many uncertain screen-to-stage tuners. It's livelier, and a lot shorter, than last season's Broadway bum steer Urban Cowboy, and I laughed every time at Robb Sapp's note-perfect mimicking of cowpoke actor Ben Cooper in the role of Turkey, the juvenile delinquent who's also got a yen for Vienna.

A hoot and a holler goes out to the design team, who, led by lighting designer Ed McCarthy (whose last name sure suits him for Western witch-hunting), replicate the "Trucolor" processing of the film down to every overripe red and blazing orange in the fire scene that ends Act I. The book follows most permutations of the original, which keeps set designer Van Santvoord hopping to switch his high chaparral-style flats at the Century Center for the Performing Arts from Vienna's saloon to a bank to a mine shaft and a mountain pass (the latter scenic pieces are cleverly turned around to become the interior of a hidden lair). The literal "Johnny Guitar" suspended over the stage as the show begins is a nice touch, too. No one who sees the film ever forgets Crawford playing a piano while wearing a flowing virginal white dress during one baroque confrontation, and neither have Santvoord and costume designer Kate Voyce, who dresses Guitar (played by Steve Blanchard) and the other gunslingers in handsome cowboy duds and provides some very stylish boots for the ladies. And kudos to sound designer Laura Grace Brown, who helps make the many gunshots ring out loud and clear and remembers to add a funny echo effect to the canyon scenes. If anyone plans musicals of Rancho Notorious or Duel in the Sun, two other camp Westerns, this is the design posse to round up.— Robert Cashill

Giants WRs Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham vs. Packers CBs Tramon Williams, Charles Woodson and Sam Shields
It's no secret that the Packers' pass defense, which allowed more yards than any team in the league this season, could be in for a long day Sunday against the Nicks-Cruz-Manningham trio, which combined for three touchdowns and an impressive 17.6 yards per catch on 12 receptions in the Giants' 24-2 wild-card rout of Atlanta last Sunday. Normally, Nicks and Manning line up outside, and Cruz works in the slot, where is he is able to avoid press coverage.
Cruz, who came out of nowhere to shatter team receiving records, has been the Giants' most productive wideout. But Nicks, who is big and physical, is probably the most talented, despite his share of drops. His talent was certainly evident against the Falcons (six catches for 115 yards, including TDs of four and 72 yards), and in the Week 13 Packers-Giants shootout won by Green Bay (7-88 receiving and two TDs despite not being 100 percent, including a two-yard score which knotted the game at 35).
Cruz had a quiet game vs. Atlanta (2-28 receiving), but he was a major force in Week 13, with seven catches for 119 yards. Manningham, who lines up strictly outside, can be hot and cold. He did not play in the Week 13 game because of an injury, but he had 4-68 receiving and a back-breaking 27-yard TD last Sunday vs. Atlanta.
Manningham's presence will put more pressure on the Packers' cornerbacks, particularly Tramon Williams, who has gone from being arguably the league's top corner a year ago at this time to being picked on rather frequently. In the Week 13 game, Williams had five tackles and a pair of pass breakups but had his share of struggles with the Giants' wideouts. In his last game, Williams was taken to lunch by Lions WR Calvin Johnson, who had 11 catches for a career-high 244 yards and a TD in the regular-season finale. In the first Packers-Lions tilt on Thanksgiving Day, Williams had his best performance of the campaign, holding Johnson in check.
But all of the Packers' CBs have been prone to breakdowns the entire season, and if those breakdowns continue, another Super Bowl title seems unlikely. A steady pass rush, which also has been lacking much of the season, would no doubt make life a lot easier on the Packers' pass defenders.

Webb backs Ciren for Southern League title
Updated 7:15pm Monday 27th January 2014 in Sport By Ned Payne
CHRIS Pethick has turned his attentions to a league and county cup double after Purton were eliminated from the Hellenic League Challenge Cup on Saturday, writes Christopher Panks.
The Red House side were thumped 4-1 by higher-division visitors Ascot and although downhearted at the exit, boss Pethick says his troops can now turn their attentions to a Division One West title tilt and the semi-finals of the Wiltshire Senior Cup.
Although they are fifth in the table and 14 points behind leaders Tytherington, Purton have three games in hand on the Rocks.
Pethick said: "We're now hoping for a good draw in the Wiltshire Senior Cup, so that, along with the league is now our main focus.
"Our aim is to win the league games and we'll be in the top three, don't get me wrong, we've got ourselves in the position to do that and I still think we can do it.
"As I've told the lads, we can still win the league if you want to, if we put ourselves out there, but we haven't got the floodlights so we won't get promoted wherever we finish.
"We'd rather have points on the board, but if we win our games in hand, we're five points behind the leaders which is nothing, really.
"We've played them twice already so we can't really affect that too much. All we can do is keep winning games and picking up points and we'll see what happens." Inactivity, caused by weather and cup commitments, caused frustration for Pethick over the festive period and Saturday's match against North Leigh will only be Purton's second league fixture since mid-December.
"We had a month's break over Christmas, we didn't play from the 14th until the new year and that didn't help. We've managed to do a bit of training here and there, find a green field to play on Saturday afternoons where we haven't had matches.
"It happens to us every year, we're doing well and then all of a sudden we don't have games, through no fault of our own. All the games called off over Christmas were away games, and so they weren't in our control.
"We didn't have fixtures scheduled for two Saturdays, which was just stupid. Before we know it, now we're three or four games behind everybody.
"I suppose part of it was our cup success, because the last two Saturdays have been cup games, so that's another two league games we've missed."

Confirmations of the conscious: Lynne Johnson and Palo Alto's war against Black folk
by Yoreb Ku Ba
If you are not familiar, on Oct. 30, at a community meeting in Palo Alto, Johnson stated in response to a rash of robberies in the area, "If my officers see an African American who has a do-rag on his head, absolutely the officers will be stopping and trying to find out who that person is." The most worrisome part of this whole ordeal is that the majority, if not all, of African-descended people who frequent the area are aware of this harsh reality.
Although she framed the comment as merely a response to recent robberies, this type of racial harassment is unofficial policy known by all parties involved. According to some elders, both Black and white, this is part of the city's ethnic cleansing campaign of Blacks who occupy expensive property the ruling class deems should be used at their disposal.
This terrorism is so intense that residents of San Jose have discussed standing at the crossing point between East Palo Alto and Palo Alto in order to make sure that the constitutional and human rights of Blacks/Africans and other oppressed communities are not violated.
Despite the fact that on their website the police department states that policing is conducted without racial or ethnic bias, their own records show a completely different reality. Palo Alto consists of around 60,000 people, with Whites/European-Americans comprising 76 percent and Blacks/African-descendants making up around 2 percent of the population.
Concentrating on just the problem of Driving While Black in examining traffic stops, so far this year 270 people of European descent have been arrested after being stopped. With 45,000 people, that averages to one White person being arrested at a stop per 167 White residents. In stark contrast, with 186 arrests out of a population of around 1,200, one Black person will be arrested at a stop per six or seven Black residents!
Guess we better start walking. Oh wait, then that leaves open the possibility of being identified as a street robber stick-up kid as Chief Johnson has done to our community as a whole.
Mayor Larry Klein stated that Johnson's comments were "unacceptable, unconstitutional and un-American." I agree with the first two characterizations, but as this country has consistently shown, the demonizing and scapegoating of Black people and other oppressed communities is as American as apple pie.
Somehow, I feel that won't change with just the election of a Black president. It takes the mobilization of the Black community. As always,
Stay Focused, Stay Aware, Stay Young … and Rebel
"Young Rebel" Yoreb Ku Ba, who writes for Silicon Valley De-Bug, can be reached at email@example.com. Junya, firstname.lastname@example.com, a Palo Alto resident who wrote a series of articles for the Bay View about Albert Hopkins' heroic battle for justice against the Palo Alto Police Department, supplied references for this story.

Jay Thorwaldson
Interesting and well-written perspective. Just in the interest of full accuracy and completeness: Chief Johnson actually made the do-rag comment in an interview with KGO-TV immediately following the community meeting Oct. 30, not during the meeting. During the actual meeting with residents about the recent spike in crimes, she qualified her comments by stating anyone stopped would have to match a description of the robber(s) — presumably height, weight, age, clothing and other factors besides race and gender — *and* that they would be stopped as "consensual contacts," meaning they would have to agree to being stopped and questioned. She also has apologized repeatedly for her comments.↓
What a stupid dyke – she profiles all blacks in palo alto, when we have the 1st black US president – ever..

To stress the importance of water safety to Hoosier youth, Indiana Conservation Officers from the Department of Natural Resources and Boys & Girls Clubs join forces annually and host a coloring contest under the guise of "Wear It Indiana.
The joint effort stresses the importance of wearing a proper fitting life jacket when on a boat or participating water activities on lakes, rivers or streams.
Rush County resident Lexis Haden, 9, was recently named the 2013 winner and presented her very own life jacket by DNR officer Gary Catron and Chet Walker, CPO of the Rush County Boys & Girls Club.
Catron said the public outreach campaign is designed to enlighten and encourage the use of personal flotation devices (life jackets) while boaters and swimmers are enjoying Indiana waterways.
Drowning is the number one cause of death in recreational boating accidents and in 90 percent of drowning fatalities life jackets were not worn by the victims.
Life jackets should be fitted properly based on the water activity one is participating in. The lifesaving device should be United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved and all fasteners, zippers, belts and snaps should be functional. Once secured, the jacket should not hamper or interfere with arm movement or breathing.

CHICAGO -- As the July 31 Trade Deadline approaches, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel made one thing perfectly clear: Don't just get somebody. Get somebody who can make a real difference.
"I'm talking about a good one," said Manuel, who said the Phillies need both a right-handed bat and a relief pitcher. "If we can find a good bat and we don't get a good reliever, well, then we'll take the good bat. I want somebody good. If we're going to get somebody, I want somebody good. I want somebody that's going to help us. I don't want to get what we've already got."
It sounds like Manuel is thinking big.
"I always think big," he said.
The Phillies have indicated they might be unable to add a dynamic talent because of payroll issues and concerns about further depleting their farm system. But Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has spent time recently in Clearwater, Fla., scouting a talented Class A pitching staff. The Phillies could decide to part with some of that promising talent. They also could decide to expand payroll at the last moment, which they have done in the recent past (i.e. Cliff Lee).
"There's some guys out there," Manuel said. "They're going to be hard to get. We'll see. Ruben and our front office, they do a pretty good job with that."
Back woes lingering, Polanco will get injection
CHICAGO -- Placido Polanco is a frustrated man.
The discomfort in his lower back from a bulging disc is lingering, so he approached the Phillies' training staff Monday at Wrigley Field and told them he would like a cortisone injection to speed up the recovery process. That is significant because Polanco had been reluctant to take a shot after he had four last year: three in his right elbow and one in his back in the postseason.
He said he could get the shot Thursday.
"I was trying to avoid the shot," he said inside the cramped visitor's clubhouse. "But I was the one that came up to them and told them, 'This keeps bothering me. Let's just go ahead and go with the second option.'"
Polanco is eligible to be activated from the disabled list Wednesday, but clearly that will not happen. He said he felt OK after swinging a bat Friday in New York but hasn't felt good since.
Victorino activated Tuesday in Chicago
CHICAGO -- Placido Polanco's back might not be improving, but Shane Victorino is ready to rejoin the Phillies' lineup after being activated from the disabled list Tuesday.
Victorino has been on the disabled list since July 4 because of a strained ligament in his right thumb, but after a few rehab games he said he is ready to go. The Phillies optioned Pete Orr to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after their 3-1 loss on Monday, opening a spot for Victorino.
Victorino said he still feels some discomfort in the thumb, and he expects to continue to feel it. But he said he should be fine on the field.
Will he try to slide head first? He might, depending on the situation.
"I don't think. You know how it is sometimes," he said. "I just go."
But to protect himself from jamming the thumb, he said he will wear a brace whenever he gets on base.

Owen is obsessed with superheroes! I didn't think a 2 year old could be this crazy about one thing. I really believe he thinks he is a real superhero! He acts like them, he must always have an outfit representing one of them, he knows almost every name (including the bad guys) in each comic series, and he has over 50 action figures all to himself. This little guy sure gets spoiled! His daddy loves comic books so Owen is destined to love them as well. I love my little superhero!

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - Carnival may be engrained in New Orleans' culture, but it has also taken hold in more and more cities around the country.
For us, it doesn't need a lot of explanation. But this time of year, the city's tourism leaders are touting the madness of the country's biggest Carnival celebration to the national media.
"Well, Mardi Gras in New Orleans is what we call the greatest free show on earth," said Convention and Visitors Bureau spokeswoman Kelly Schulz. "It's something that is absolutely synonymous with the history of New Orleans. You know, Mardi Gras is something that is very much of a sacred tradition for our residents."
A tradition that's also a huge money maker, generating hundreds of million dollars a year for the city. Tourists pack hotels and spend millions on food and alcohol. Millions more are spent on floats, costumes and throws, and the publicity is priceless.
It's no wonder cities all over are trying to cash in on the Fat Tuesday phenomenon.
Even the Big Apple is home to a French Quarter-themed blowout.
"We open at 11 a.m. and we are probably pretty busy by noon," said Keith Santangelo with the Bourbon St. Bar & Grille in New York. "We have a line down the block by 2 or 3 p.m., and then we're packed all night. It's a fun party, it's a big party."
Santangelo said Bourbon Street Bar & Grille sells a whole lot of liquor on Fat Tuesday.
"We'll probably go through well over 2,500 hurricanes," he said. "That's usually how much we sell that day. The last couple of years we've been at capacity, so I don't think it could get any bigger."
Don't bet on that, as Carnival continues its spread to every corner of the country.
Mobile, Ala. claims title to the oldest Mardi Gras celebration. St Louis claims to have the biggest Mardi Gras event in the country outside of New Orleans.

For those of you wondering where Norm Coleman would turn up after leaving the Senate, we've found him. The former Minnesota Republican senator who lost his exhausting and drawn out reelection bid to Al Franken (D) is joining the Republican Jewish Coalition.
Coleman will sit on the coalition's board of director's, according a statement from the group.
"We are thrilled to have Norm Coleman join the board," said Matthew Brooks, the group's executive director. "He is an outstanding Republican leader who brings a wealth of experience and insight to the organization."
Coleman was the only Jewish Republican in the Senate. Currently, there is only one Jewish Republican in either chamber, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.).

vacation rental description
This old-school Oregon Coast cottage has the best location in Cannon Beach! Only a single house sits between your front door and the sandy beach, and just one block separates you from the best galleries, cafes, and boutiques on Hemlock Street. Park your car in the driveway and forget about it, because you can walk to everything.
The two bedroom retreat is bright and clean, but offers plenty of vintage beach-house charm. The kitchen's cheery orange countertops will bring a smile to your face, and you'll find all the cookware, dishes, and dinnerware needed to prepare meals. Sit at the breakfast bar for a casual bite, or gather around the retro dinette set for a full meal or game of cards. The kitchen and dining area overlook the living room, which has plenty of comfy seating before the cable TV for rainy day movie marathons. The kitchen is well stocked, however, it does not have a dishwasher, so be prepared to wash dishes by hand, like in old days...
The house has two bedrooms, one with a full-sized bed and one with a twin. In the living area, the sofa opens into a queen-sized sleeper, making the space comfortable for five guests. There is one full bathroom, as well as a washer/dryer to keep up with wet bathing suits or muddy hiking gear.
Outside, a huge fenced yard makes this house perfect for travelers with kids, and everyone can gather around the picnic table on the front porch on sunny days. When you want to explore the beach, you'll find it just 200 feet away, along a quiet sandy path. Head to Haystack Rock to poke around the tide pools, for an easy walk along the ocean, or simply enjoy a spectacular sunset just steps from your front door.
For livelier recreation, stroll a single block onto Hemlock Street to take in downtown's famous art, shopping, and dining scenes. Hikers and surfers love Cannon Beach's ideal location, nestled between Ecola State Park to the north and Oswald West State Park to the south, surrounding the town with challenging trails, scenic vistas, and hidden coves. And at the end of the day, you can return to the comfort and charm of your own private old-school beach cottage. Life doesn't get much better in Cannon Beach!
This is not a pet friendly home, please do not bring your pet with you.
Cannon Beach limits us to only one rental every 14 days and we don't want this great house to sit empty. So, during summer 2013, if you stay for one week, we will give you the next seven nights for free! This house is available in two week blocks for the summer, with the following check-in / check-out dates: June 15, June 29, July 13, July 27, August 10, and August 24.

Botley Road, Oxford delays to continue through weekend
Updated 3:00pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
DELAYS on Botley Road, Oxford are to set to continue through the weekend for investigations into an electrical fault.
Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) says its engineers are still searching for a cable fault that led to a power cut for 70 homes in the area, restored yesterday morning.
Digging work at the junction with Ferry Hinksey Road began on Tuesday morning with temporary traffic lights, causing delays.
The company has said engineers are working from about 7am each day until 9pm at night not "throughout the night" as it previously stated. The firm apologised.
The firm said this would cause noise disruption to neighbours.

Hello Experts,
We want to consume a web service generated by the B1 Integration Framework.
At the point that the window to fill in the B1iadmin credentials pops up, we simultaneously get a "401 Unauthorised" error which remains even after we have filled in the credentials correctly and as a result the consuming does not complete successfully.
What could be causing this error?
Is there a way to work around that, i.e. by removing the B1iadmin credentials prompt.
Thank you in advance,
Aris PAntelatos
Hi Aris,

Alyssa Rosenberg had an interesting post on her ThinkProgress blog this week, about a report that shows fewer DVR viewers are fast-forwarding through ad breaks. According to Deadline, "The percentage of broadcast commercials skipped by DVR users dropped to 46.7 percent in the 2011/2012 season from 58.8 percent in 2007/2008. For cable, 50.4 percent of the ads were skipped this past season vs. 52.8 percent in 2007/2008." Rosenberg wonders if TV viewers are actively choosing to watch more ads as a way to support the shows they care about — though she admits it might just reflect their growing laziness.
I have another theory: I've been an devoted TiVo user for more than a decade, and my fast-forwarding habits haven't changed a bit. But I am watching more commercials these days — because advertisers are using low-down, sneaky ploys to trick me into it.
Take, for instance, this week's "Drop Dead Diva." In the middle of the episode, as I reached for the remote when the commercials started up, Stacy (April Bowlby) — the lead character's best friend — suddenly appeared. Had I misread the cue that signals the arrival of an ad break? I had to pause to find out. In fact, it was a scene that showed Stacy, in character, filming a commercial in which her male co-star can't deliver his lines because her hair smells so good. (Until this season, Stacy was an aspiring actress who often filmed commercials.) The tag line, "Get to the essence of your inner diva. Keep watching Drop Dead Diva, brought to you by Herbal Essences," was clearly tailored to the show, and it was followed by a more standard Herbal Essences ad.
TNT is a long-time abuser of this type of sneaky interstitial spot. In "The Closer," Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) has a sweet tooth; after she nails a confession, she often retires to her office to enjoy a Ding Dong or similar treat. For a while, Brenda's junk food habits were commemorated by trompe l'oeil Closer-specific spots in which a young couple apparently watching "The Closer" would exchange sexy banter linking Brenda with Kit Kats or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Their scene would be followed by a more conventional Hershey's ad.

Is 'cohabitation' bad for kids?
- 2:33 pm Friday, August 19th, 2011 by Opinion Staff
Days before last week's release of new population figures showing big increases in the number of single-parent households in Palm Beach County, the Center for Marriage and Families released a study concluding that while divorce rates for families with children have fallen to the lowest rate in decades, too many children's lives remain unstable because roughly 40 percent of American kids are living in 'cohabitation' households — one parent and a significant other.
The center, part of the Institute for American Values, suggests that cohabitation means uncertainty, which gives children a sense of insecurity. Examples over the last few years in [More]

Managing large number of servers
I want to get information of how to maintain large number of servers in a big environment. Let me explain by an example
Let say there are more than 200 server and all of them are kind of running the same services e.g. web server, mail server, file ftp server etc. and they all need to be check and monitored on daily basis and check if anyone of them have problems.
So what is the best possible solution for this kind of server environment.

We are a 24/7 Server Management company and very familiar with the environment. Currently we are managing 500+ servers including Web Servers, Mail Servers , File servers etc..
We are using Nagios for 24/7 service monitoring.
For laod monitoring, if the server load reaches a certain threshold we will get alerts and we can act proactively.
Feb 12, 2012, 15:24 #3
Thank you for your reply.
OK i see that Nagios is a monitoring software. But what if someone need to install/update any new software or service on these server. As i think Nagios is not designed such purpose.
If there is a software available which can do install/update ?
Will it also have the functionality of monitoring all of these servers too OR for monitoring will need a separate software

Reducing a field's size
I have a standard LAMP stack website with a log table which stores some basic information, there is an additional field in there which serializes an array and stores (such as the POST data) if it's relevant to the entry.
My question is, what are some ways I could reduce the space that this field (currently a LONGTEXT) takes us as it's rarely ever read, so output speed/efficiency is of no matter, it's just currently very large as there's no compression of any sort.

Poured into a Chimay chalice at The Birch in Norfolk. Beautiful mocha head and rich smells of roasted malt and booze.
Predominate note is of espresso and cigar, tipped off with a booze note. Rich, dark chocolate notes linger in the back and bring everything together. Charred. It's a bit rough in terms of mouthfeel -- I was hoping for a bit more smoothness. Again, the booze (i.e., whiskey) plays a big role in the somewhat aggressive attack on the palate. That does mellow a bit as it warms.
I enjoyed it and would recommend trying it if you appreciate boozy imperial stouts. I have a feeling this would be great with a cigar!

Served from tap into a sampler tumbler. Poured a dark reddish-brown with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a very minimal amount quickly. There was no lacing evident throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, wood, sweet alcohol, and dark fruit. The flavor was of sweet malt, wood, dark fruit, and sweet alcohol. It had a medium feel on the palate with low carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. I saw this one on the beer list and couldn't resist ordering one as I never knew that it had existed. The pour looked pretty typical for the style as was the flavor profile going on despite the barrel treatment. The aroma however was a little bit better with a nice kiss of dark fruit at the right points to enhance the other properties of this one. Definitely worth trying if you get the chance and are a fan of the base brew. Even if you aren't I would still suggest it to a fan of the –bal.

A: pours black with two fingers of light tan head that recedes into a thin ring with good lacing
S: roasted malts with lots of sweet chocolate and creamy coffee. Dry whiskey aromas with notes of oak and vanilla follow without overwhelming.
T: again, roasted malts with semi-sweet chocolate and bitter coffee. Dry whiskey flavors with slight oak and vanilla notes follow with a slight alcohol burn.
M: thick body with medium carbonation, this beer is smooth and creamy, though a bit lighter in body than most bbal stouts.
O: a good barrel aged stout. Very dry and bitter where most are sweet and thick. A bit expensive, but still good.

A: The beer is jet black in color and poured with a finger high dense tan head that gradually died down, leaving some lacing on the surface and a thick ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light to moderately strong aromas of bourbon in the nose along with notes of coffee and roasted malts.
T: Similar to the smell, bourbon flavors stand out in the taste, although these aren't too strong and notes of bittersweet chocolate, coffee and roasted malts are still detectable.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied, very smooth and a bit creamy on the palate with a light to moderate amount of carbonation. The finish has a nice amount of warming from the alcohol while the aftertaste has some lingering dryness.
O: This beer is surprisingly easy to drink considering its strength; the alcohol is well masked from the taste except for the flavors of bourbon.

4.1/5 rDev +4.6%
A - Dark black with an average sized, foamy, bubbly, cafe brown head. Average retention leaving a thin, patchy lace.
S - Dark charred malt giving a slightly bittersweet chocolate aroma. Charred oaky aroma along with whisky and a touch of vainilla. A little bit of coffee but not much. A little sweet and a little hot.
T - A touch sweeter than the nose suggested. Mix of brownie and bittersweet chocolate. Vanilla along with touches of woody oak flavors. Hints of bitter coffee. A little hot but not bad given the amount of whisky flavor.
M - Medium to full body with low carbonation. Pretty smooth and creamy.
D - Fair amount of whisky flavor but not too hot or overpowering. Nice sweet dessert flavors without being cloying.
Notes: Would make a nice dessert beer. Some brownie chocolate along with vainilla. Whisky is present but not overpowering. Good barrel aged stout that is tasty and works well, but doesn't have anything that amazes me or jumps out.

Thanks to kkipple for this interesting beer, no idea how he got it. Best before end of March 2013 so just past it's prime supposedly.
Pours a dark mocha colored creamy rich almost 1 finger head that fades pretty slowly and leaves lots of rich lacing and legs on the glass, no light getting through the pitch black beer.
Nose is pretty nice, dark malts, bit of cocoa, slight dark chocolate, I think some creamy oats, but also a bit of roasted malt with a hint of acrid char almost, some coffee, and lots more very dark malt aromas that probably would have been overbearing when it was fresh. Then nice vanilla barrel notes, with a hint of whisky with a slight bourbon tone, a bit of booze. The baker's chocolate comes through more as it warms, as well as the vanilla barrel aromas.
Taste starts with more of the roasted malts, a slight burnt coffee, light acrid character, more char, and tons of dark malts, but again not overbearing anymore which it seems like it may have been fresh. It does have a slight metallic sour like note to it though. Then dark chocolate, bitter baker's choc, and a big tannic bitter note from the char, and possible earthy hop character. Then into barrel notes, not as much as the nose had, a hint of a vanilla character, just a bit of oak, although there is some generic whisky notes to it. The burnt coffee seems to come through again fairly strong, with some toasted oats I think, as well as some warming slightly tingly booze. Finish is sticky a bit syrupy sweet, with mouth coating dark malts, some warming booze and slightly tingly, with lots more acrid roasted malt and hint of soy sauce like, as well as touch of bitter roast and earthy hop character lingering with the roasty malts.
mouth is fuller bod, a bit creamy and almost silky but not quite there, decent carb for an older beer but not great for carb either.
Overall not bad, but nothing too special. The barrel seems to have faded too much, but the acrid roast and burnt charaters would have been so strong fresh that the barrel probably would have been drowned out, so hard to tell which direction to go with this. I would like to try it fresh, as well as the other barrels to see the differences. The dark choc was nice, as well as vanilla barrel and whisky notes when they actually came through, but hard to get through the burnt acrid bitter tannic flavors.

On-tap at Beachwood Brewing
A: The beer pours almost black in color with a small tan head.
S: The first thing I pick up is a definite booze. There is a lot of roast and whiskey to this beer. A bit of dark fruits as well as a slight sourness of booze/whiskey. Mild chocolate notes with a decent amount of char.
T: Slight sourness of whiskey and booze up front. There's a bit of green apple followed by more booze and whiskey. There's some char and roast with a little bit of dark chocolate.
M: The body is medium with medium and smooth carbonation.
O: Jack Daniel's aged beers seem to have this same booze character to them that just makes them less pleasant to drink than other whiskey aged beers.

On tap at lions pride in Brunswick, ME.
Dark black with a ruby edge. Tan foamy head laces nicely. Bakers chocolate and vanilla bean in the nose. Rich almost too sweet chocolate taste with booze and bourbon around the edges. Dark cherry, woody tobacco and roasted vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel. Feels like the stout and barrel weren't together long enough.

Garnet-tinged black with a beige head. Vanilla, soil, dates and espresso oil on the nose.
Carmelized sugar, woody bite, and a bit of coffee. Little roast and no hops on the finish.
Medium to full, round, some chew.
Much subtler wood than some of the others in the White Label series. Doesn't have the barrel presence of the Eglin, for example. An muted stout overall, for an RIS.

Emelisse Stout has a black body with a thin brown head. OK retention, not much lacing going on.
Whiskey dominates the aroma, with a bit of anise and roasted malts.
This beer actually tastes like Jack Daniels, and whiskey is the dominant flavor. Even up front, the whiskey is powerful with a moderate amount of heat. Also present are charred malt and a bit of charred wood. Lots of roasted flavors and bittersweet chocolate make up the malt base, and are the strongest flavors after the whiskey. The background has some dark fruit and a bit of anise in it. Lots of stuff going on here, with a hot, boozy finish.
Hot, with a body that smooth, but a little bit lighter than I would expect for the ABV.
This is a fairly good barrel aged stout, but should not be tried unless you are a whiskey fan. Pretty hot also.

33cl bottle, best by March 2013, Lot A (probably bottled around March of 2011). Served at cellar temperature.
Pours black with a two finger brown head that retains nicely and leaves good lacing.
Aroma features strong whiskey notes, charred oak, dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, anise and some coffee. The Jack is the star and the overall strength is very good.
Flavor starts with chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, anise, some notes of caramel, toffee, molasses, and dark fruits, then the whiskey kicks in along with some oak, vanilla and a decent bit of warmth from the alcohol.
Mouthfeel is soft and creamy with a full body.
A very nice barrel-aged Imperial Stout. The whiskey brings a slightly different experience than in the more common bourbon barrel treatments. Expensive at $10/11.2oz bottle, but I don't regret picking it up at all.

We had a grand beertasting a few days ago thanks to Mar02x. A new BA member with a great mind on beer.
Poured in a normal winelike glass.
This is a pitchblack beer which is remarkably enough without the oak notes you would expect to be so present.
Very very superround dinkable and soft. This is no edgy beer.

11.2oz bottle, "Lot A", best by March 2013. Can't wait!
Pours with a short head which fades quickly over a thick, black body. No lacing.
Aromas carry lots of black licorice, dark chocolate, thick caramel sweetness, and light amounts of vanilla/oak and floral hops.
Drinks hot on the throat, but not unbearable. The licorice in the aroma quickly turns to a sharp anise quality in the flavor. Plenty of bittersweet chocolate, and even some red bell pepper. Pretty thick & slick mouthfeel throughout.
Overall, I didn't pick up much of the Jack Daniels barrel, although I'm not intimately familiar with their whiskey. It has what you'd expect in an 11% BA RIS, so glad they went with a small bottle instead of 22 or 750ml.

Pours a thin pitch black with almost zero carbonation. Smells mostly of TN Whiskey with plenty of dark fruit notes adding to the aroma. First sip is quite dominated by whiskey barrels and that is just fine by me. Dark fruits contribute with most of the toasted malts being masked by the whiskey. The big flaw by far is the lack of carbonation. It is very thin bodied to begin with so that flaw is magnified immensely. The 11% ABV is well hidden.

On-tap at Beachwood II,
A: Pours black with a light tan heady, somewhat fizzy with some spotty lace.
S: Real nice barrel character, oaky, quite woody with some semi-sweet chocolate and whiskey.
T: Fairly strong Jack presence though not all encompassing as some whiskey barrel aged beers can be. Has a good balance between the barrel and the base beer. Dark chocolate with a hint of roast and licorice. Nice flavours.
M: Medium to full-bodied, a tad thin for me at times. Quite smooth and creamy.
O: The whiskey character is there and makes its presence felt. I like the flavours, this is a well made BA beer, but still on the pricey side even in its category.

On Tuesday a judge blocked the city from making the demotions tomorrow so that the firefighters have a chance to be heard. It buys them some time but the union says the firefighters have already lost so much--money for one but maybe their rank too.
"There's no logic behind it, "Joe Schulle President of Local 22 the International Association of Firefighters and Paramedics said.
Schulle wants to demote nine lieutenants and five captains within the fire department.but what he wants to make clear is that it's a huge blow to some of the city's bravest.
"This is very damaging to the members, their careers and their families. They have stressful jobs to begin with, Schulle said. "They've earned these promotions nothing was given to them they were earned."
Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison said during a news conference. That the issue goes back to the spring of this year when the firefighters' union approached the city about granting automatic promotions.
The mayor's office declined saying the law doesn't require them to do that and that promotions are up to the discretion of the commissioner of the department. In May the union took the issue to court.
Gillison said, "Those individuals who on May 30th were told that if you continue and if you want this promotion subject to the Commonwealth's review, if that is reversed, you will return to your previous status. In essence that's where we are it was never the city's position that this should have ever been taken at all we don't play with people's lives that way."
Turns out, a judge ordered the city to grant the promotions...and it did. But the city appealed and a higher court overturned the decision.
The next hearing is Wednesday at City Hall. The union says the firefighters have already lost a 10% immediate raise and they will continue to fight this in court.

Staff Writer
---- — ESSEX — Town voters will not have to make a lot of decisions when they go to the polls in the town's election Monday, but their one contested choice is determining who will sit on the town's chief leadership board.
Selectmen Lisa O'Donnell is defending her seat against an active write in-campaign by Haskell Court resident Karin Gertsch, with polls open Monday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the fire station on 24 Martin Street.
O'Donnell, first elected to the board in 2010, also chairs the Town Building Committee and sits on the Long Term Planning Committee. O'Donnell also serves on a steering committee with the Great Marsh Area of Critical Environmental Concern.
She is a graduate of Princeton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and operates her own structural engineering consulting firm.
Gertsch — a Harvard University graduate — has worked as a marketing consultant to community banks, an author, a publisher, a grant writer as well as in community development.
She has lived in town for more than 40 years, and said she intended to run on the ballot. Due to a miscommunication, however, she missed the March deadline.
The two hold opposing views on Conomo Point.
O'Donnell said the eventual sale of the central district would best suit the town, as there is not much public waterfront land in the district.
The Board of Selectmen's stance is that the town should retain as much property as possible in the north, through reducing bedrooms, limited sales near Conomo Lane, or attrition.
The selectmen's plan, however, holds that the town should continue to lease some of the properties at fair market rates, to supplement the town budget for 10 to 15 years.
O'Donnell said fair market value will only benefit the town. In some cases, she said, a Conomo Point homeowner rents out the property, making above and beyond what the town would have reeled in.
"Someone else is making out and the town is loosing," she said.
Gertsch, meanwhile, feels the northern portion of COnomo Point should be put to use as a public park.
She said the Board of Selectmen, so far, have been leading the town in the wrong direction, citing the various court cases.
"I don't know where the end is," she said of the town's legal troubles.
Both candidates also recognize the town's need for Town Hall, police and fire station improvements — or replacements.
Gertsch said she was not in favor of the site on John Wise Avenue, as it may be too expensive to build on.
"We need something for sure, but we need to be able to pay for it," she said.
O'Donnell said the John Wise Avenue site is the only logical choice, as it is in the center of town, something necessary for emergency personnel.
She added one possibility would be adding a Parks and Recreation to the town, especially if more access is constructed around Conomo Point, as the Department of Public Works acts as a multitude of different departments.
All of the other candidates on the ballot are up for re-election.
They seats open are: Assessor, Town Moderator, Board of Health, two Constables, Regional School Committee and one on the Planning Board.
There are also write in slots for two Planning Board seats and one on the Housing Authority.

Making files available via the SCS anonymous FTP servers
Several of the CS web servers accept anonymous FTP connections. The hostname ftp.cs.cmu.edu will resolve (on a round-robin basis) to one of those web servers. If you have files in a directory in AFS, you can make these files available via anonymous FTP to ftp.cs.cmu.edu through the following steps:
- Create the directory you want to have files served from. For example, /afs/cs/user/bovik/ftp. It is suggested that you create any subdirectories after step 2, since the AFS directories you create will inherit the ACL of their parent.
- Set AFS ACL for this directory. In particular, the special group "wwwsrv:http-ftp" must have read and lookup rights on that directory. To set this ACL, use the command:
fs sa /afs/cs/user/bovik/ftp wwwsrv:http-ftp rlwhere you substitute the name of your directory for the example. It is important that this (and any other directories you make available via anonymous FTP) are not writable by anonymous FTP users.
- Create a .htaccess file for this directory. In the simplest case, just create an empty file called .htaccess in the top level of your ftp area. See our .htaccess documentation for other examples, but note that the FTP server only understands a very limited subset of .htaccess commands. You should not put this file in your top-level AFS directory for security reasons.
- Make sure that wwwsrv:http-ftp has at least lookup ("l") AFS access to all directories on the path to your FTP area and can read the .htaccess file that you created.

The important question is, of course, whether or not it will take good enough photos of the landing sites to make out the descent stage.
(And what's the emphasis on Apollo 16? It wasn't the last mission!)
The important question is, of course, whether or not it will take good enough photos of the landing sites to make out the descent stage.
(And what's the emphasis on Apollo 16? It wasn't the last mission!)
Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.
In addition to the descent stages, I wonder it can spot the areas where the S-IVB's crashed. Would that be acceptable proof for the HB guys?
Maybe it's because A16 was almost exactly 30 years ago, whereas A17 was a bit less than 30 years ago... but why that should matter is a bit mysterious.
"I wonder it can spot the areas where the S-IVB's crashed. Would that be acceptable proof for the HB guys?"
Doubt it, it'd just prove something crashed there, just like the 'lunar surface anomaly' at the A15 landing site only proves something landed there, not that it was a LM which carried astronauts.
And you reckon when we do get pics of LM descent stages, that the HBers will say 'fine, something landed there, but were they manned modules? can we see footprints?'... and in the end, theyll claim it was some tiny robot rover that went around pressing down with a boot....

anyway not that lunar rocks themselves are not the same age as Earth Rock.. of course THEY ARE Earth rock
its just that the so called "ORBIT" {tradjectory} of the moons realitivly New.. ei contemparanious with Astroids as debries /solid planet {well?}
MUST account for the TWO faces of the moon..
And of course for me the Pacific Basin Origon
of the Moon [YOUNG MOON] FITS THE SCENERIO!
This has been discounted of recent years. The Pacific Ocean is way to young (60 odd million years) to have been involved in the formation of the Moon.
It was a fairly good theory till continental drift came along.

For Want of a Title a Great Board Member Was Lost
Okay, so I don't usually wax poetic but lately a very old children's rhyme has come to mind when I think about nonprofit boards and missed opportunities. Remember this one?
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
We all know something small that's misplaced or overlooked can easily trigger something bigger. How does this connect to board service? Pretty directly when what's misplaced are priorities and a realistic assessment of the most important qualities in a board member.
Too Many Titles
Here's an anecdote I heard recently that makes the point. At a board meeting the members all had name cards and each name included a title – Esq., CPA, MD, PhD. One member's credential was EE. Which stands for? Nothing. She made it up after observing that she alone had no title. No one asked what it stood for, but it gave her the air of respect among the group that she felt she needed.
Why would she feel that way? We know the answer. On far too many boards, titles abound. On far too many boards, fitting a profile has an outsized influence on how members are chosen. We need a lawyer, an accountant, someone with an advanced degree.
Let me be clear: I'm not saying these professionals can't make great board members. They can and do. But a title should not be a prerequisite for board service. It does not guarantee a great board member. Giving too much weight to certain titles and profiles can create expectations that can be dangerous for an organization: that certain individuals automatically know more about nonprofit governance and naturally deserve a stronger voice than others. It's not hard to see the slippery slope that a nonprofit can descend when too many board members over too much time offer the "right" credentials but not necessarily the best qualities to govern well.
What Matters in Board Members
As discussed in my July Dashboard it's the season for intimate gatherings with potential donors who are passionate about the cause your nonprofit represents. That passion is also among the most important qualities you want in board members. It's the cause, after all, that you serve.
So passion matters. So does openness. So does willingness to cooperate and collaborate. So does recognizing that board service, particularly effective governance, requires specialized skills and knowledge. And that agreeing to learn – or be refreshed on – those skills through board education is part of agreeing to serve.
The way to compose the best board is by getting to know would-be members as people, not by profession. Expand your measure of what matters in a board member and you'll ensure that individuals with the capacity to be great are not overlooked.
