With a host of good athletes who are 1st year players, the Shelbyville boys tennis team has had to learn on the fly. On Thursday, it all clicked as the Rams swept Springfield Southeast, 9-0
"We played very well last night, said Ram coach Ross Forlines. "We have drilled a lot in practice lately to improve our consistency. It paid off against Springfield."
Shelby's #1 Nathan Vasko won in straight sets over Richard Hayes, 6-3, 6-0. Darin Breeden (#2) defeated John Mendenhall in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. Ram #3 Tristan Wade held off Jordan Stelixan, 6-2, 7-6.
"Tristan had to win a 2nd set tiebreak to get his victory," Coach Forlines said. "He scored when it counted."
Jared Finley, Shelby's #4 singles player knocked off Nick Yathaputanam, 6-0, 6-2. Even the Shelby #5 and #6 singles players sailed through their matches.
"Ben Houska (#5) made quick work of his opponent, Jade Potchara, winning in straight sets (6-1, 6-1)," Forlines said.
Adam Hudson (#6) shutout his opponent Ted Lewis, 6-0, 6-0.
"Adam Hudson (#6) has been improving all year," Forlines said. "I was glad to see him play well in singles. However, I thought he looked even better in doubles."
Breeden and Hudson teamed up for #2 doubles and put down Stelixan and Yathaputanam, 6-0, 6-0. Vasko and Finley, playing #1 doubles won, 6-0, 7-5.
"Nathan and Jared struggled a bit in the second set of their match," Forlines said, "but they did a great job of finishing when they needed to."
Dakota Pruemer and Cameron Barker stepped up in #3 doubles to make the sweep complete.
"Dakota and Cameron got forced into service, but they played incredibly well, considering they had not played doubles together this year," Coach Forlines said. "I think Dakota has shown a lot of progress this year as a player. He has consistently improved. Cameron usually plays with Vasko, but his size make him tough at the net regardless of who he teams with."
Shelbyville tennis plays at home vs. Mt. Zion.
Singles: #1 Vasko (S) def. Hayes (SE), 6-3, 6-0; #2 Breeden (S) def. Mendenhall (SE), 6-2, 6-3; #3 Wade (S) def. Stelixan (SE), 6-2, 7-6; #4 Finley (S) def. Yathaputanam (SE), 6-0, 6-2; #5 Houska (S) def. Potchara (SE), 6-1, 6-1; #6 Hudson (S) def. Lewis (SE), 6-0, 6-0

Appearance: dark brown, big head, medium carbonation, clear
Smell: toasted malt
Taste: caramel, toasted malt, and hops towards the end
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, smooth, medium high carbonation, with a slightly bitter end
Drinkability: I actually really like this. It is a nice and smooth amber and could session it. I think it is the breweries best and think of it as a Canadian treat.

473 ml can. The beer pours an amber color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee and grass, about what I expect from a red ale. The flavor is more of the same. I get some toffee, grass and some grain notes. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not much to say about this beer. There is nothing really wrong with it, but there is not too much going on either. Not one I would try again, but not something I regret trying.

A 20oz pint at Ceili's, an Irish-themed pub across the alley from my condo, and a popular after-work location to kvetch and such, with my fellow downtown colleagues.
This beer arrives at the table appearing a clear, dark bronze, reddish amber hue, with a thin cap of wispy, bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few swaths of weirdly sudsy lace around the glass as things evenly subside.
It smells of muted, semi-sweet, and lightly caramelized grain, toasted corn, and a bit of wet grass and sour vegetation. The taste is plain, bland caramel malt, some dry grain, origins well obfuscated - like that old box of breakfast cereal that you still thought was 'ok' - some weak floral hoppiness, but not enough to make any difference, and an unpleasant, sour metallic character, that only gets worse as it warms.
The carbonation is quite high, but thankfully only in a mostly innocuous, frothy manner, somewhat masking many of the actual 'flavours', the body on the light side, and very macro lager like in its smoothness, go figure. It finishes off-dry, same shit, same channel.
In the end, this is very much in the same vein as those stale Shreddies that you can't remember buying, as already alluded to. I admittedly have a love/hate relationship with this beer - I had it for the first time the night that I met my girlfriend (the beer options were limited, I was distracted...by the whisky), and now, under veritable scrutiny (shah, right!), it duly withers.

On-tap at Bugsby's in St. Catherines. A little cheesy aroma, reddish brown colour, a lot of white foam. Malty, a tad of bitterness. The smallest amount of toasted malt. Drinkable, but not something to seek out.DRying, average mouthfeel.Taste is not that complex, weak for style.

Not a Keith's fan, their, ahem, "IPA" literally makes me feel ill (seriously, I'm not just bashing). Nonetheless, was at a restaurant last night with a craptacular beer selection and figured I'd try something different.
Nice looking. Deep red. On tap gave it a really nice white head with some staying power and some surprisingly decent lacings.
Chalky macro smell. *sigh*
Pretty tasteless overall. It definately fits into the style, a very British feel to this one. Buttery bread, slightly floral hops and a sort of fruity malt backbone, I get raspberries. I'm being pretty generous here. Chalky, macro aftertaste, blah.
Horrible body, like drinking water.
A decent enough macro, I'd certainly take it over Keith's IPA, but it's relatively tasteless and way too thin.

Never being particularily impressed with Keith's so-called IPA (the IPA which isn't), I wasn't expecting much out of this. Poured out the bottle into a pint glass and watched as the minimal off white head quickly dissapated into the standard macro froth. Faily low carbonation. Nice orangy re colour tho. On drinking, slight lacing appeared. Smells like not a whole lot...Tastes alright, slightly alcohol notes immediately (a bit much for my liking) quickly disolve to fairly nice caramel malts with a hint of hoppy bitterness. Barely any aftertaste. Good balance on the carbonation. I think the alcohol level isn't hidden enough. Strange even though they claim 5%. Not a bad session beer. I can drink this. Theres just nothing really special about this. Tastes better when really cold. Seems like a good candidate for that silly "subzero" draught you can get the likes of Coors light in.

A: This beer looks very nice. A deep see through red with a hint of gold to make it amber-like.
S: Smells very sweet. I was so surprised how sweet it smelt. It's a little caramelly.
T: Still has that sweet caramel to it but not as strong. Hops come in too strong and cover up the nice malts. Still good though.
M: Very carbonated. Watery and light.
O: I tried this in Montreal Canada. It is ok but it has too much bite for my liking. I would only drink if I wanted a canadian ale. Amber ale's should not have more malt than this.

2.65/5 rDev -8.9%
Pours a slightly brownish red, with a rather fizzy white head that dissipates quickly, leaving no lacing. Smell is grainy, with a bit of caramel and hops trying and failing to cover the adjuncts. Taste is odd. Some maltiness, with a hint of toffee, followed up by the greenish grains that I always perceive in their "IPA" and a slightly rancid corn note. Mouthfeel is a bit muddled, but has some crispness, and drinkability is okay. Not much of an ale, and not one I'll return to.

This beer looks very impressive upon the pour,but that's as good as it get's,great looking brew,but lools are decieving.Beautiful deep amber,mahogney color with a rocky bubbly tan head of good size,sticks around long enough to enjoy the looks and mild lacing.Nose to this one is faint on everything,a little toffee mixed in with some butter and malts and some prunes.Taste is kinda bland,was expecting a lot more,not much there,some sweetness coming at you from the toffee,a little bitterness,kinda tangy stale dry taste all coming at you at once with a hint of metallic,was really expecting a more wholesome maltier caramel kinda flavor,guess i was expecting too much.Easy to consume,not really that bad but expectations were high and flavor was kinda bland for me.Rickards Red has a lot more to offer for the same price.

A- Pours a very nice reddish/amber color, just like the name
describes. I poured hard, to get an idea of the head, and it started off decently thick, about 1 inch, but with the large bubbles, quickly disappeared into nothing more than a foamy skin on top of the beverage, but it offers more than some other beers I've had...actually sticks to the side of the glass. Good carbonation happening upon closer inspection.
S- Slightly sweet/malty would probably best describe the aroma of this ale. Not as pronounced as say, Rickards, but decently average. Maybe just a slight tinge of bread pudding.
T- I have to admit, this is the last bottle of a 12 pack that I bought to try this out, but haven't opened this last bottle for at least 3 months, if not longer. With that said, I actually like the flavor more than I remember. Even though my favorite domestic is Keith's "IPA", this I find has a little more of a hop presence and more flavor than the original, nice mild malty presence in the front of the palate and moderate bitterness to finish off, especially when in the throat. Actually leaves a bit of a mildly sweet aftertaste, which is nice.
M- Definately smoother than I remember, but still a heavy carbonation factor, as the appearance would suggest. Light/Medium body, nothing too serious however. I like the this more so in a lighter refreshing beer, like the IPA....would prefer less carbonation.
D- Definately can handle a few of these in a sitting, but think a couple of these would work better with a meal...probably pasta. Was and still am ever so slightly dissapointed with this brew from Keith's but wouldn't be opposed to ordering in a pub or purchasing again. I suggest at least trying it....I think it will be one of those average brews you try, but I think I'm being hard on this one b/c I love their original so much!

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a small bubbly white head with minimal retention. Aroma of adjunct is mostly dominating. Taste is light on barley and quite strong on adjunct with a dry finish. All in all, this is just another bland offering from those fine folks at Labatt.

12oz bottle into pint glass.
Clear deep red color mixed with a little bit of amber highlights. Light tan head that settles to a thin cap. Sticky lacing.
Grainy malts with a light honey smell. Some fruitiness.
Very bready and husky malts with a light burnt flavor. Seems to be a light fruit flavor present. Thin bodied with good carbonation giving it a bite in each sip. Mild bittering hops, to slightly balance the malt.
Seems like your average Amber/Red ale. It's worth a try, but don't expect anything special.

Poured in my glass and the color was good. Good head formed at the top.
Drank. This beer as very little taste. I'm more use to tasty beer so this one is dull.
I couldn't get any smell at all from this one.
The head and bubbles look good while the head disappear very quickly.
Still got 3 bottles which I will try again, at least one more but I'm sure my opinion on it will not change.
Too commercial?!
Drinker target: General audience who prefer their beers taste less... sad.

Live from the blazing sands of Salinas, Ecuador, the 2009 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Championships are off an running. Watch all the action on the live webcast at quiksilver.com/isa.
After an early morning surf yesterday, our top notch webcast crew of 1989 world champion, Martin Potter, former WCT surfer Troy Brooks and ALAS tour champ, Magnum Martinez along with commentary vets Todd Kline, Chad Wells and Ryan Hakman, headed down to the parade of nations. Potts has been to every one of these contests for the past 5 years and he said that this was easily the best opening ceremonies he'd ever seen. The streets of Salinas were packed with thousands of cheering spectators and the world's best junior surfers felt the vibe – they sang and danced the whole way on the two mile walk to Salinas's main square. Each of the 28 countries represented poured sand from one of their home beaches into the giant jar to symbolize international unity, the New Zealand team performed a tradtional haka dance, a brass band played, fireworks went off and we were truly underway in style.
Today were running round 1 in fun waves at La Fae point and Quiksilver surfers like Garrett Parkes, Maxime Huscenot, Matt Banting, Cristobal de Col, Balaram Stack and Ramzi Boukhaim are all ready to blow up. Our crew is giong strong too – we've been stuff ourselves 3 times a day at the Barcelo Hotel's buffet and no one's gotten sick – knock on wood.
Stay tuned for updates each day and watch all the action on the live webcast.

A team of eight scientists and technicians in the Neutron Sciences Directorate has won a prestigious R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazinefor developing a highly efficient new detector system that helps take pressure off dwindling worldwide supplies of 3He as an active neutron converter.
The award was for development of the wavelength-shifting scintillator neutron detector (WLS), which uses 6Li as a neutron convertor instead of the conventional 3He. The annual R&D 100s, now in their 50th year, recognize the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the market over the past year.
The award goes to Lloyd Clonts, Ronald Cooper (retired), Lowell Crow, Yacouba Diawara, Bruce Hannan, Jason Hodges, Richard Riedel, and Cai-Lin Wang of NScD. The team developed the detector in partnership with PartTec, Ltd., of Bloomington, Indiana. The award is one of nine R&D 100s won at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2012.
"The detector has been in development for 8 years," said Diawara, the detector group leader at NScD. "When we started this project, there was no concern about the availability of 3He.
"It turned out to be really as good as 3He, and an advantage is that we now have an alternative to that detector element. It is at about 95% of 3He 8-pack efficiency, at 1 Ångstrom and 5 mm position resolution, in one axis."
The WLS is currently installed on two instruments at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source: VULCAN, an engineering materials diffractometer, and POWGEN, a time-of-flight powder diffractometer. The WLS system can be installed at several other instruments at both SNS and the High Flux Isotope Reactor and will be available for installation at neutron facilities worldwide.
WLS has a high-absorption cross section for neutrons and a low sensitivity to gamma rays owing to the low density and low atomic number of the solid scintillator materials (LiF/ZnS:Ag). As the scintillator absorbs a neutron, it emits a pulse of light, or scintillation. Electronics can detect this scintillation and determine when and where it occurred.
Because the WLS detector can determine the time and position of the neutron captured, it enables extremely accurate neutron time-of-flight measurements. An individual detector module has a 0.3 m2 sensitive area, low power requirements, and digital communication capability.
These factors make it attractive not only to neutron science facilities, but also for security applications. It can monitor land, air, and sea shipments for the presence of fissionable materials.
Although the new detector will have broad applicability at neutron sources, it is not suited for all neutron instruments. "There are still many instruments where detectors with higher spatial resolution and very high count rates are required. In these cases, we still need 3He," Diawara said.
Funding for the research came from the Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences.
Winners of the R&D 100 Awards are selected by an independent judging panel and the editors of R&D Magazine. The publication serves research scientists, engineers, and other technical staff members at high-tech industrial companies and public and private laboratories around the world.

Angie's List CEO Proud of Losing Money
Jonathan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It all starts at the top, that key executive leadership from the corner office.
In the military it is known as "command presence." When executed properly, any order will be followed without question or hesitation. For Angie's List (NASDAQ: ANGI), the social media site for researching and recommending professional service providers, it entails bragging about losing money for 17 straight years.
In an interview with USA Today that ran on Tuesday, August 14, 2012, Bill Oesterle, the Chief Executive Officer, stated that, "Sometimes, I start my presentations with that. When you think about it, it's not easy to do. Losing money for 17 years is hard. You have to continue to find people to supply capital to you."
Not surprisingly, Angie's List fell 15.95% in trading that day, losing $2.12 a share. In addition to the CEO interview, the lock-up period for investor shares expired the same day, too. Angie's List is now very close to its 52-week low of $10.77. It went public for $13 a share last November.
While the share price of Angie's List plunged, the short position has soared. The short interest for Angie's List is 7,616,800 shares. That is up from 6,714,800, an increase of 13.43%. That jump was registered before recent events, with a high short float already existing.
Although losing money for 17 consecutive years, 28 quarters, is bad enough, the trend is even worse. For the second quarter of 2012, Angie's List lost $23.4 million. That amount is an increase of 45% from Q2 2011.
For investors looking for a change: not gonna happen anytime soon. In the USA Today with Tony Cook, "Angie can't put making a profit on her List,"Oesterle promised this would continue as, "We are going to continue to invest in acquiring households and service companies so long as the unit economies continue to work. That means the cost of acquiring individual households leads to substantially greater return in the long run."
Based on financial statements, it is difficult to see that happening. As demonstrated by the plunge after the lock-up expiration, insiders are looking to bolt when possible. One analyst wrote about a recent secondary offering earlier in the year that: "The offering has ANGI only receiving $8.7 million of the overall funds with the rest of the 92.1% of proceeds going to a series of insiders including the CEO, the founder, other directors and early investors cashing out of their shares. In total, Officers and Directors of the company that are selling shares in the offering represent 4,234,381 shares, or 50.1% of the total shares sold in the offering. The balance, 42.0% is being sold by other early investors. For the individuals who are most familiar with the company to cash out to this degree is a major red flag which should be carefully considered by prospective or existing shareholders."
About that, Warren Buffet counseled that, "It's almost a mathematical impossibility to imagine that, out of the thousands of things for sale on a given day, the most attractively priced is the one being sold by a knowledgeable seller (company insiders) to a less-knowledgeable buyer (investors)."
What should be obvious to all, corporate insider or outside investor, is that Angie's List has no competitive advantage or economic moat. It depends on advertising revenues, the same as Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). All are bigger and better as, for the simple reason that rather than losing money, each of these is profitable. There is a 25.74% profit margin for Google. Microsoft has a profit margin of 23.03%. At Facebook, the profit margin is 13.29%. For LinkedIn, the profit margin if 1.81%.
Competition will only get tougher for Angie's List. Facebook is focusing on advertising revenues like those that Angie's List is losing money trying to obtain. LinkedIn is doing more professional advertising. Google just bought Wildfire Interactive, a social media marketing firm, for $450 million. As an expensive lesson in how competitive it is to market on the Internet, Microsoft just wrote the $6.2 billion acquisition cost of aQuantive, an on-line advertising firm.
The investors and shareholders of Angie's List can certainly expect many more quarters of losing money. Those contributing to the increasing short positions have that hope.

WODWhats a good weight for the farmers walk? maybe around 45 lbs dumbbells? Also are we suppose to do extra work after the WOD like barbell curls? shoulder press? or anything like that??
on Friday, January 27, 2012 at 02:15 am
RE:WODDaniel-- Weight for the farmer's carry is up to the athlete and their experience/ability with the farmer's carry. 45 db can work.
Do what is prescribed and you can do skill work to improve mobility, form, a skill you are working toward being able to do such as the muscle up, dips, etc.

I ended with two 100 meters with a time of 1:55, 1:52. DId 300 meter warm up with 150 meters leg work. How this swim affected me, i wonder if how i will do once Tri season kick in. a little nervous is all.

Swim Interval ? for JMac or CFE coachDid Swim Short Int. 15x50m on 1:00. To keep the time, I scale to 40y so that I can rest almost 1:1. Takes me about :30 to do 40 yards, (all out effort). My question is what do you intend as the rest interval for the short interval swim work? Are you wanting 1:1, 20 seconds, 10? I can move to a 25 meter pool and do the intervals as Rx'd but I don't think I can hold a sub :45 second time over the course of 15 rounds. Just wanting to know what you are intending as a rest duration before I stop scaling the workout, so I can do it as intended.

RE: (3S) SwimDaniel, I struggled with this one as well. I was not able to hold the intervals within 3-5 seconds of each other. Warmup: 600y mixed. Then 3:52, 4:00, 4:10, 4:12, 4:19, 4:12. Ended with 600y cool down. This was my first LI swim WOD and it proved challenging. My heart was pounding and my shoulders and lats were on fire. I began having a difficult time doing simple math such as stroke count to gauge time/length (if that makes sense).

Jake - many thanks for your advice yesterday. I will keep you posted on progress. you definitely got me thinking. I had never thought that I was asking my body to 're-learn' running, It will take me some time getting used to running only 100m at a time, but if thats what it takes....
And if anyone else on here was thinking of buying their FIRST EVER pair of minimalist shoes dont do what i did and run a half marathon on your third trip out, your knees wont like it ;)

Swim WOD3 Sport Swim WOD results: 600 Yard Warm Up (200 Freestyle, 200 Drills, 100 Pull, 100 Kick), 6x200 Yards with 90 Seconds Rest (3:24, 3:19, 3:19, 3:19, 3:16, 3:16), 200 Yard cool down (Freestyle).
I think the first one was slower because I was trying to gauge my pace. Once I got into a rhythm, the intervals felt pretty good. I focused hard on maintaining good form and that helped with my times. I was happy with this work out because 12 months ago I was unable to swim 200 meters in less than 4:00.
Did the local Crossfit WOD today as well...
Strength: 5x5 Sandbag Clean & Shoulder (90 LB); 3x 10-20-30 meter Sandbag Shuttle Run (90 LB bag).
Conditioning: For time... 50 Toes to Bar, 50 KB SDHP (55# KB), 50 Burpee DB Power Cleans (30# DB). Finish time was 15:02.
I was very happy with these results today. Don't be discouraged if you had a hard time with the swim today... If you keep at it, it does get better...

Run (THU): 4 x 1200m Results4:26, 4:28, 4:30; 4:31
I was very surprised I was able to keep my pace. The first one felt the slowest but it wasn't. Shins were hurting a little so I shortened my stride and that helped a lot. I sure would like to do one of the running clinics. Also I have iced shins for past 2 days.
S&C WOd tonight

First ever CFE attempt. Somewhat avid runner, not much on the strength side:
Strength & Conditioning WOD:
Lunges: (21, 20, 22, 22, 22)
Farmers Walk: 50lb dumbbells (50ft, 75, 90, 80, 95)
H/R Push-Ups: (14, 15, 14, 12, 13)
2 Hours Later:
3 Sport Running WOD:
1200m run, 3 min rest: (5:10, 5:20, 6:00, 5:37)
Hit a wall on the 3rd round when the fatigue from the Str/Mod WOD caught up to me. Could be better, but all in all I'm pretty happy with this first go-around.

This is a collection of sunsets with a few sunrises. I love taking pictures and being in the right place at the right time for the beauty God provides us! These are some of my favorite sunset and sunrise photos. They are from all over the country - Minnesota, Illinois, Arizona, Mexican Riviera, Hawaii, Boston, New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan, Florida, Texas and many more places.
200 pages of the beauty of the sun. Very relaxing and peaceful. Enjoy what nature gives us over and over. The book even includes some photos of the lunar eclipse on February 20th, 2008.
See my other books, including one of sunsets from a lake in Northern Minnesota, Flowers and Nature in Wisconsin, Jay Cooke Park near Duluth, Minnesota, a photo journal of a family of Robins, the Honolulu Zoo, Boston in the fall and a skydiving experience.

These days on Fridays I love to come home from work, relax, and cook an easy, fresh, summery dinner for myself and Zoeya. Shan closes the restaurant on Friday, so I don't worry about him turning his nose up at a grazing menu heavy on veggies and without an obvious entree (which, incidentally, is my favorite way to eat). This soup was simple and delightful, with a dollop of flavorful pesto made from fresh basil from my herb garden. You can make this with whatever nuts you have, but the cashews worked really nicely. They are similar in texture to pine nuts, and cheaper.
The soup was part of our Friday spread…
…to which Zoeya invited her baby…
…and then slurped up her bowl of soup, telling Mommy it was delicious. The best compliment is having your food approved by a picky 2.5 year old.
Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Cashew Pesto
makes four bowls, can easily be doubled
For the soup
3 red peppers
2 shallots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
salt & pepper
1 tbsp butter
2 cups chicken broth
Roast the red peppers at 475 in the oven, straight on the rack. Turn once and roast until they are charred. Move to a glass bowl and cover with saran wrap and let them steam and cool for a little bit. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat butter on medium high (not too high or it will burn), and cook the shallots and garlic, salt and pepper. When shallots are translucent, add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, scrape out the seeds, and slice. Transfer peppers and the broth, shallots, and garlic to a blender and puree. Return to saucepan and warm through.
For the pesto
1/2 c cashews
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1 c basil leaves (loosely packed), roughly chopped
1/4 c olive oil
generous spritz lemon juice
salt & pepper
In a food processor, pulse cashews and garlic a few time. Add basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to a chunky paste. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve soup steaming, spoon a little pesto into the center, and enjoy.

In fact, a lot of people do really dumb things, and dating without the right boundaries and attitude is no exception. In my latest book, The Truth About Breaking Up, Making Up, & Moving On, I attempt to help smart people break the dumb habits in dating that keep them from being in happy, and more importantly healthy, relationships.

There was no shortage of visually stunning works at the 2000 New York Film Festival, and experimentation was in healthy supply. From the handheld, digital video rawness of September 22 opening film Dancer in the Dark to the magical leaps and vistas of October 9's closing night attraction Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the screens at Lincoln Center were alive with cinema's new millennial possibilities.
There were only a few American films in the festival, but they were distinguished. David Gordon Green and his cinematographer Tim Orr made striking debuts with George Washington, which casts a vibrant, crystal-clear gaze on a rundown industrial slice of North Carolina. Pollock, a directorial debut by Ed Harris (who also stars as the pioneering abstract expressionist painter) is in some ways a traditional biopic. But director of photography Lisa Rinzler gives the movie a handsome period burnish, and the creative sequences are lit and framed with a thrilling eye for the artist's process. Contemporary painter Julian Schnabel, directing his second feature Before Night Falls, focused on Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas. Working with DPs Xavier Perez Grobet and Guillermo Rosas, Schnabel achieves a visual correlative to Arenas' poetic, impressionistic style.
South of the border, Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and DP Rodrigo Prieto combined three tales of the country's capital city in Amores Perros (American title: Love's a Bitch), a sprawling saga that mixes social classes and film stocks. Making Inarritu's two-and-a-half-hour work look like a miniature was Japanese director Shinji Aoyama's Eureka, a three-hour-and-37-minute epic of desolation shot in widescreen sepia by Masaki Tamra. At the other end of the scale was Neil Jordan's 13-minute version of Samuel Beckett's Not I (shown in conjunction with another Beckett piece, Atom Egoyan's film of Krapp's Last Tape), in which DP Roger Pratt focused a single source on an extreme close-up of Julianne Moore's chattering mouth.
Dancer in the Dark (see "Experimental dance," page 104, October 2000 LD), wasn't the only entry to adopt a video format. French director Agnes Varda used a combination of digital cameras, sometimes perched on her own 70-year-old shoulder, to follow the subjects - dumpster divers, remnant pickers, and detritus sifters - of her idiosyncratic documentary, The Gleaners and I. A more familiar side of French life was depicted in Agnes Jaoui's The Taste of Others, a romantic roundelay, photographed by Laurent Dalland, featuring somewhat older characters than usual as well as a novel small-town setting.
But it was from eastern Asia that many of the festival's major offerings emerged. In addition to Eureka, Japan contributed Nagisa Oshima's Gohatto (Taboo), a 19th-century samurai tale shot by Toyomichi Kurita in stylized studio settings. Taiwanese director Edward Yang's Yi Yi (A One and a Two) was a three-hour portrait of a Taipei family, photographed with eloquence but little fuss by Weihan Yang. Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's latest, In the Mood for Love, was a 1962-set love story starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, shot in Kar-wai's trademark style - bold color, fluid camerawork cued to music and cut on moving shots. Christopher Doyle, DP on the first half of production, and Mark Li Ping-bin, DP on the second, shared a technical achievement award at the Cannes Film Festival with In the Mood for Love designer William Chang.
Another Hong Kong native, Peter Pau, shot Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on location across China. Pau is highly experienced with shooting the wirework action choreography that highlights this movie, but he had to adapt it to Lee's style, which favors eye-level angles and a warmer look than characterizes most Hong Kong action films. The model was Chinese watercolor paintings. "In our movie, when the camera flies, it's intended to fly at the same level as the person," says Pau, whose Arri 435 was rigged to a power pod remote control head for scenes like the renowned bamboo forest duel. "Also, I usually use fog for atmosphere, and I didn't use a single fog machine in this movie."
The film's colors are generally muted. "I shot the film with a relatively low-contrast negative, Kodak 5277, which is 320 tungsten, and I rated it to 250," Pau says. "Outdoors, I used 5245, a finer-grained 50ASA daylight film. Where the weather was stormy, especially in the bamboo forest, I had to switch stock to stock, but the entire film, I refused to use any high-speed stock." Pau also supervised digital wire removal on the movie, which contains 350 effects shots.

BRIDGEWATER, Conn. (AP) — Authorities have recovered a body from a lake near where a commercial photographer was reported missing last week.
Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says the body was pulled Tuesday from Lake Lillinonah in Bridgewater after a homeowner spotted it from a dock. The body was transferred to the chief medical examiner for identification.
Police have been searching for 33-year-old Eric Langlois of New Milford since he went missing a week ago. He had told his wife he was heading to the Housatonic River to retrieve a lost bicycle.
Police say Langlois crashed a mountain bike on June 10 in the river, which was swollen from heavy rains. But he managed to swim to shore. He told his wife he was going back the next day to look for the bicycle.

Also make sure you authenticate your mails with a domain key (DKIM). More info here: http://www.dkim.org/
The biggest no no is using a different domain in the 'from' address then the server from which the email is sent. It will instantly be marked as spam.
On the other hand, use Google mail server to handle your emails, and use SwiftMailer for sending emails from PHP. It's the best tool you can find.

1. Set up a mailbox account on your server that you will use to send the emails from.
2. Use Swiftmailer or PHPMailer package - configure it to send emails via SMTP of your mailbox account.

One of the biggest reasons for Miami's defensive struggles, we hear, is the play of the team's safeties. FS Reshad Jones' misplays have been well publicized, but SS Yeremiah Bell also has been a part of the problem. Multiple sources have observed that Bell, 33, doesn't seem to have the range he once did and he has been exposed a bit when the Dolphins go to zone, something they have had to do because of injuries. The eighth-year veteran leads the team with 38 tackles and Jones is second with 26, which also highlights some of the problems at inside linebacker, as the middle of the defense has been a giant weakness for Miami.
On a positive note, though, we hear that Bell has been a very positive influence in the locker room, something extremely important for the young players on the 0-4 team. Bell's off-the-field leadership is there, but he, along with the rest of Mike Nolan's defense, need to improve to get the Dolphins out of their rut.

Fire crews were busy Thursday night not only with a house fire, but with live ammunition going off in a truck, as well.
Crews were called to the report of a structure fire around 7 p.m. on Christopher Lane off of Highway Z and Route 25 in Cape Girardeau County.
Gordonville Fire Chief Jerry Siemers says the insurance company has not yet determined an official cause of the fire.
The Gordonville fire department had also investigated the fire.
Siemers believes that a spark may have ignited some firewood where the electrical service went into the house.
Siemers says the firewood then ignited a nearby gas can which exploded and spread gas on a nearby truck, setting on fire.
Mutual departments were called to put out the fire that damaged siding on the home and a truck in the back.
A truck that was on fire reportedly had live ammunition going off, sounding like 'firecrackers.'
Crews say there was no significant structure damage to the home.
